Chapter 1097 Wen Ye has something to say
That was the sound that had echoed through the night sky for a long time last night and was familiar to everyone.
Nan Yan suddenly raised her head and looked forward.
"The rebels have begun attacking the city again!"
Ran Xiaoyu frowned. Although she knew that the rebels would not be able to break into Hecheng in a short time and they were still safe for the time being, she subconsciously walked over and supported Nan Yan when she heard the loud noise.
"My Lady."
Nan Yan frowned.
After that loud noise, several more were heard in succession. From afar, one could seem to hear shouts resounding through the sky.
She was not unfamiliar with that voice.
It is the sound of soldiers fighting bravely against the enemy.
Some people were bathing in blood on the city walls, while others were plotting in the garden.
She couldn't help but sighed deeply. Ran Xiaoyu turned to look at her and said, "My queen, are you going to find the emperor now?"
"No."
Nan Yan shook her head and said, "We shouldn't bother him with such trivial matters at this time. At least, wait until this battle is over."
Ran Xiaoyu muttered, "The Queen is so easy to talk to."
Although she said so, she also consciously supported Nan Yan and walked back.
Walking to the chair and sitting down, Nan Yan smiled bitterly and said, "I am still the Imperial Concubine. Even if it is a bit selfish for my own benefit, I should let the Emperor go all out to deal with the rebels at this time. Otherwise, if anything goes wrong in the war, not only the Imperial Concubine, but we will all be reduced to ashes."
When she said this, she looked outside with a serious expression.
The rumbling sound continued incessantly.
Although the emperor was not far away and she knew she was safe, she still felt a little uneasy because no one could predict what would happen on the battlefield. If even she was uneasy, one could imagine how terrified the people in the city were.
Nan Yan sighed, "I'm afraid these common people are all terrified."
At this moment, a soft voice came from the bed: "Mom..."
Turning around, she saw Xiao Xinping finally woke up. He was sitting on the bed, rubbing his eyes with his chubby little hands. When he saw her, he immediately opened his arms and said, "Hold me!"
Nan Yan walked over and held her daughter in her arms.
Just at this moment, there was another loud noise outside. Xinping was frightened and opened his eyes wide. He put his hands around her neck and said, "Mom!"
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid if you are calm."
Nan Yan gently stroked her back: "Mom is here, don't be afraid."
Xinping blinked and looked around again: "Xin——!"
"What?"
Nan Yan looked at her in confusion. Ran Xiaoyu, who was standing beside her, immediately understood what she meant: "Her Royal Highness the Princess is looking for Ming Xin."
Nan Yan then remembered that she had someone take the little monk to live in the yard, and she hadn't seen him today.
Xinping had been with him through thick and thin these days, and was very attached to this little brother. As soon as she couldn't see him, she would pout, "Xin!"
Ran Xiaoyu hurriedly said, "I'll go down and find him."
However, when I came back after a while, I couldn't find anyone.
This little monk could not be found in the entire Jinlou Villa.
Nan Yan was a little panicked. After all, he was his daughter's savior, and there was a war going on outside. It was also a chaotic situation. Where could a little monk like him run to? What if he encountered danger?
So, Ran Xiaoyu was asked to take people out to look for him.
It took more than an hour to search for it.
Gradually, the sounds of fighting outside died down. Ran Xiaoyu finally came back with a dusty little bald man. With an unhappy expression on his face, he dragged him into Furongju.
Nan Yan asked, "Ming Xin, where have you been?"
"My lady, I'm going to help."
"Help, what help?"
Ran Xiaoyu said, "He ran to the city gate to help the soldiers deliver water and food and take care of the wounded."
"ah?"
After hearing this, Nan Yan was stunned and couldn't help laughing.
Said: "Mingxin is so capable."
Mingxin puffed out his small chest and said, "Master taught me to save the world and save people."
Ran Xiaoyu said even more angrily, "That's what the doctor does. Besides, you're such a little kid, running to the city gate, do you know how dangerous it is? The master would crush you with one foot."
"No way."
Mingxin pouted.
Nan Yan smiled and said, "No matter what, it's good that you have the heart to save the world. The Buddha will surely appreciate your sincerity."
Mingxin immediately smiled happily.
Nan Yan asked again: "So, is the battle over?"
Mingxin nodded and said, "The battle is over. The Lord Wen who was guarding the city has driven away the rebels again."
"Really? That's great."
"However, many of them were injured. It was really pitiful to see them."
When Nan Yan heard this, she couldn't help but feel heavy again.
Of course, there will be casualties in war, and the thought that the lives of so many people depended on this city made her feel uneasy.
Ran Xiaoyu wrung out a wet towel and scrubbed Xiao Mingxin's head vigorously, making his bald head look shiny again. Then she gave him a push and said, "Go over there and play with the princess."
Xiao Ming ran away happily.
Ran Xiaoyu walked back to Nan Yan and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Wen Ye has just brought Xiao Mingxin back with him. He is now on his way to see the Emperor."
"oh?"
Nan Yan was a little surprised. What did he tell her about this?
Ran Xiaoyu whispered, "Master Wen said that after he met the emperor, he wanted to come and see you."
"See me? What for?"
"I think I have something to tell you."
"oh?"
Nan Yan had a vague feeling in her heart. After all, a lot of things happened in the past two days. Although Wen Ye didn't seem to be familiar with her, he had something to say to her, so she naturally waited with peace of mind.
On the other side, in Liuhe Hall.
After reporting the battle situation just now.
Zhu Feng's brow furrowed even deeper than before: "There are quite a lot of casualties today."
Wen Ye knelt before him and said in a deep voice, "The rebels have also sent nearly 8,000 men to launch a strong attack today. Your Majesty, Hecheng is not a strategic location, and the city lacks solid defenses. With their current attack methods, I'm afraid the city will fall within a few days."
Of course, he didn't dare say that the city was about to fall.
After all, talking to the emperor is different from talking to the previous King of Yan.
Having said that, I believe Zhu Feng, who is familiar with war, knows exactly what I mean.
However, after hearing these words, Zhu Feng just nodded lightly.
"Yes, I understand."
"emperor--"
Zhu Feng said calmly, "Prince Ning isn't someone who only relies on brute force. After failing to capture the city twice in a row, he must have thought of other methods. You must be prepared."
Wen Ye listened and lowered his head and said, "Yes, I understand."
"Go down."
Zhu Feng waved his hand again.
Wen Ye wanted to say something but stopped himself when he saw Zhu Feng's expression. However, he could only bite his lower lip, then stood up and left Liuhe Hall.
The door closed behind him.
He looked back hesitantly and couldn't help wondering: The emperor is not unfamiliar with occupation. This time, we are obviously in a passive position. Why is he unwilling to mobilize troops?
I thought about it for a long time, but couldn't figure it out.
I can only go to the imperial concubine’s Furong Residence first.
