Chapter 630 Has she ever been to Xingluo Lake?
Hearing him say this, Nan Yan immediately felt a little uneasy.
Xingluo Lake...
A place that is not marked on the map.
Is there any danger in that place?
Why did they go to Xingluo Lake?
The cabin was silent for a while, as if everyone was lost in thought. After a long while, Zhu Feng said to Ye Zheng, "Ye Zheng."
Ye Zheng immediately said, "Yes."
"Pass the order and let our ship move forward at full speed."
"emperor?"
"Now that we know they've turned into that river channel, we must close the distance between us and them."
“…”
"Otherwise, once they really enter Xingluo Lake, the terrain there is so complex that we will easily lose them."
Nan Yan turned around and looked at him.
Indeed, he was right.
According to what he just said, Xingluo Lake is clearly a natural maze.
Since we don’t know their destination, of course we have to follow them closely.
But--
Nan Yan frowned subconsciously, and Ye Zheng did not give orders immediately after hearing Zhu Feng's order as usual.
Zhu Feng looked at him: "Hmm?"
Ye Zheng was silent for a moment, then said, "Your Majesty, please reconsider."
“…”
"That place called Xingluo Lake—the Emperor should know about it."
“…”
"It's better not to go."
Upon hearing what he said, Zhu Feng's brows immediately furrowed.
Ye Zheng also turned around and bowed to Nan Yan, saying, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
“…”
"I'm not saying this to stop the Imperial Concubine from rescuing your grandmother. It's simply that the road ahead is too dangerous."
“…”
"The Emperor is going on an incognito tour again this time, and he doesn't have enough guards around him."
“…”
"There's not even any navy to protect you."
“…”
"If there's any danger ahead—"
Having said that, he himself did not dare to continue.
He took a deep breath and said, "I suggest that we stop the boat and dock first. I will contact the nearby government office and mobilize troops to protect the emperor. We will then make a decision."
After hearing his words, Nan Yan was not angry, but nodded slightly.
Ye Zheng is indeed worthy of being Zhu Feng's confidant. No matter what happens, he always considers the safety of this supreme leader first.
In fact, a person like Zhu Feng who is extremely confident and even a bit stubborn really needs someone like this by his side to stop him from taking risks.
After all, the Prince of Yan and the Emperor are different.
Perhaps the King of Yan was only implicated himself and his government.
But the emperor was implicated in the entire Yan Kingdom.
This was exactly what Nan Yan felt uneasy about just now.
She said, "Ye Zheng, I understand what you mean."
After saying that, he turned to Zhu Feng and said softly, "Your Majesty really shouldn't go."
“…”
"Concubine..." She didn't finish her words.
Because he saw Zhu Feng glaring at him fiercely, as if he would tear him apart alive if he said one more word.
Nan Yan swallowed her saliva and swallowed the following words.
Zhu Feng snorted.
It seems to be saying - you're smart.
Then he turned to Ye Zheng, his attitude no worse than that towards Nan Yan, and said lightly: "I have made up my mind."
“…”
"Just give the order."
"emperor……"
"You should know," Zhu Feng said solemnly, "if it's something else, I can dispatch someone to handle it."
“…”
"But this won't work."
“…”
"You don't need to say more. I won't change my decision. Go and give the order."
“…”
Ye Zheng looked at him with some embarrassment, but after all, he couldn't really disobey the emperor's order, so he could only sigh lightly and go down to give the order.
Nan Yan said softly: "Your Majesty..."
"Don't try to persuade me," Zhu Feng said, not even looking at her. He leaned his hands on the edge of the table, looking down at the river that had already reached the edge of the map, and muttered, "It's better to think about something more important."
"What's up?"
"Why did your grandmother guide them to Xingluo Lake?"
“…”
"What does she have to do with that place?"
Nan Yan's breathing was slightly choked.
indeed!
Even the emperor himself was not familiar with this place, so it was even less likely that the people of Neng, far away in the north, knew about it.
In other words, Zhu Feng’s previous guess was correct.
It must be the grandmother who pointed them to this place.
But the problem is——
What is the relationship between the old grandmother and this place?
Ever since Nan Yan could remember, she had always been in a state of half-consciousness. Even when she had brief moments of lucidity, her emotions were often more painful than when she was sick and confused.
Maybe it’s because I’ve experienced so much hardship in this life.
Nan Yan had vaguely heard that her grandmother was different from ordinary women who never left their boudoirs. Even after getting married, she often traveled around with her grandfather. In the eyes of ordinary people, she was considered a remarkable woman.
Could it be that she had been to Xingluo Lake before?
Or, what does she have to do with this place?
The geography of Xingluo Lake is so complicated that even the emperor doesn't have a map. Given her current mental state, where can she guide those people from the Neng Kingdom?
Seeing her frown, Zhu Feng was silent for a while.
When he spoke again, his voice was softer.
"don’t worry."
Nan Yan looked up at him.
Zhu Feng said, "Things will work out when the time comes."

Although he said this, it was no longer possible to completely calm Nan Yan's uneasy mood.
In particular, watching the boat speeding forward and the scenery on both sides moving rapidly backwards gives people a sense of tension.
In the blink of an eye, it was evening.
Because they accelerated, they gained a long way.
Just after finishing dinner, I heard the boatman come to report that the river channel could be seen in the distance.
They immediately walked out of the cabin and onto the deck, and sure enough, they saw a river channel extending straight into the center of the river on the wide river surface in front of them.
Because the water was flowing fast and carrying a lot of silt, the water in that section was particularly turbid. You could even see a large whirlpool in the middle of the river.
Fortunately, these boatmen were all experienced in the boating. They quickly took the helm and slowly turned the bow towards the upper left side of the river. More boatmen went to the bottom of the boat to row.
The boat was going much faster than before.
However, when the boat was about to enter the river, it felt a huge force pulling the boat back.
It's that vortex!
Everyone on the deck began to shake.
Nan Yan staggered and almost fell.
Zhu Feng grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms.
Nan Yan's heart was beating so fast that it was about to jump out of her chest.
She panted slightly and looked up at him.
Zhu Feng not only protected her, but also grabbed both of her hands, pressed them against the fence in front, and held her hands tightly with his own.
The anxious voices of the boatmen rang in my ears: "Hurry up, hurry up!"
