Chapter 2608: What exactly is his arrangement?
At this time, a sharp and piercing gong sound came from the direction of Monk's side in the distance.
They have called off their troops!
Apparently, Monk realized that continuing the war would be disadvantageous to him, so he stopped fighting immediately.
Zhu Feng raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "Arslan is also going to withdraw its troops."
Nan Yan asked, "He won't pursue the victory?"
Zhu Feng said, "It's already dark."
Upon hearing this, Nan Yan subconsciously looked up.
Yes, the sky was gray all day, but by the evening it was almost like a normal night.
Now, they could only vaguely watch the people fighting on the battlefield, but they could not see the details clearly.
Zhu Feng said, "After dark, the fight will become chaotic, and neither side will be willing to do that."
“…”
"Moreover, after killing to this extent, Arslan's troops have reached their limit."
“…”
"Look, although Monk's men are withdrawing, they are not fleeing. This shows that they are quite disciplined in their daily training."
"oh?"
After hearing this, Nan Yan opened her eyes wide and looked carefully.
Although the heavy rain almost blocked her vision and the sky was dark, she could still barely see that Monk's troops were retreating, not in a rout, abandoning their weapons and armor, but in a very orderly formation, fighting and fleeing at the same time.
It can be seen that they had achieved certain victories in the previous battles, so psychologically, they were not completely defeated.
At this moment, the sound of retreating troops was also heard from Arslan's side.
They also withdrew their troops.
Arslan's men only chased for a short distance, and after confirming that the enemy was not pretending to flee and then turning around to start a fight, they felt relieved and began to withdraw.
Zhu Feng shook the reins and rode his horse forward a few steps.
Standing on the high ground, they could barely see the situation on the battlefield.
At first glance, Nan Yan's face turned pale and she turned her head to the side.
Although it was too dark to see the corpses scattered all over the ground and the rivers of blood below, this pitch-black scene still silently exuded the smell of death.
There was no expression on Zhu Feng's face. For him, he had seen worse situations than this, and even experienced them personally. At this moment, he just let out a deep breath and turned his horse around.
"go back."
“……?”
Nan Yan was stunned: "Go back?"
Zhu Feng turned his head to look at him. Although both of them had their hair combed into neat high buns when they went out, their hair became a little messy after such a long run and the heavy rain. Strands of hair stuck to their foreheads and cheeks, and water droplets kept dripping down.
Nan Yan was shivering from the cold just now, but now, she was soaked by the rain and didn't feel cold anymore.
The whole person felt like a piece of frozen meat.
But her face still showed astonishment, as if she had heard something incredible: "So, you're going back now?"
Zhu Feng's lips curled up slightly, and he said with a half-smile: "What else do you want?"
“…”
Nan Yan was a little confused.
Isn't this the time for them to take action?
Zhu Feng had clearly said before that he had plans for the outcome of this war.
But what about his arrangements?
After the fight between the two sides, he went back?
Nan Yan rode up to him and lowered her voice, even though the sound of the rain made it necessary for them to shout to hear the people around them, and said, "Your Majesty, are there no other arrangements?"
Zhu Feng looked back.
He said calmly, "Let's talk about it when we get back."
After he finished speaking, he shook the reins and the horse under him immediately broke into a gallop.
Nan Yan frowned, puzzled, but had no choice but to follow him. The personal guards around him also followed him in large numbers. They did not return to the birch forest, but turned around and went straight to the Duwei Mansion.
Everyone rushed forward.
However, they were marching late at night, and although the rain had gradually subsided, they still couldn't light torches, so they ran in the dark for a long time and finally returned to Handongwei when it was almost dawn.
Only a few scattered drizzles were still falling.
But when they arrived at the gate of the Commandant's Mansion and dismounted, a pool of water quickly formed under everyone's feet.
Nan Yan said: "Your Majesty——"
Before she could finish her words, Ruoshui and the others rushed out.
Seeing Nan Yan's miserable appearance, Ruoshui felt so distressed that she grabbed a blanket and tried to wrap it around her.
Nan Yan stretched out her hand to push him away.
After all, they were outside and there were so many soldiers around. She didn't want to be embarrassed after enduring a day and a night.
She looked at Zhu Feng and was about to say something, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she sneezed.
“Ah—choo—!”
Zhu Feng frowned and said immediately, "Hurry back. Ruoshui Tingfu, ask the kitchen to send ginger soup immediately. Let the concubine drink it and then take a bath. Make sure it's a little hot."
Ruoshui and the others immediately said, "Yes."
Nan Yan asked, "Where is the emperor?"
Zhu Feng said, "I still have a few things to tell them. I'll come see you after I'm done."
After saying that, he turned around and left, dripping with water.
Nan Yan stood there, watching his back disappear in front of her, her brows furrowed, and she sneezed twice in succession. Ruo Shui hurriedly wrapped her in the blanket, half supporting and half hugging her, urging her to go back quickly, saying, "Your Highness, go back and warm yourself up quickly. If you really fall ill, the Emperor will be distressed."
Nan Yan rubbed her itchy nose and went back to her room.
This time, she was given ginger soup and sweated in the hot bath. After that, Ruoshui and the others stuffed her directly into the warm bed. But even so, Nan Yan couldn't help it. She sneezed several times in succession and even had a runny nose.
Ruoshui and the others hurriedly brought her a stack of thin paper for her to blow her nose.
He said worriedly, "It hasn't even been two days since she recovered, and she got caught in the rain. The queen will definitely get sick."
Nan Yan also felt a little dizzy, but she still forced herself to sit up at the head of the bed. She originally wanted to think about what Zhu Feng had arranged, but was interrupted by Ruoshui's nagging several times. She said in a bad mood, "Are you going to curse me like this?"
Ruoshui was frightened and said hurriedly: "I dare not!"
Nan Yan rolled her eyes at her.
He sneezed again and muttered, "But it looks like I'm really going to be sick."
Ruoshui stamped her feet anxiously: "What should I do?"
Nan Yan glanced at her and couldn't help laughing: "Are you really so anxious that you've lost your mind? Hurry up and find a doctor to check on me."
Speaking of this, she thought of Xue Yun.
Then he said, "Go, call Xue Yun to me."
When Ruoshui heard this, she hurried forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report to you."
"What's up?"
"Doctor Xue seems to have run away!"
"What!?"
As soon as the words fell, before Nan Yan could speak again, Zhu Feng's surprised voice came from the door.
Turning around, he happened to walk in and heard Ruoshui's words.
