Chapter 3637 Send out troops!
Finally, they settled in the camp at the Great Wall Moat. People outside were still excited because His Majesty the Emperor had come here in person. Nan Yan had already dismissed everyone and helped Zhu Feng into the tent and sat down.
As soon as he sat down, Zhu Feng, who was still pale and slightly out of breath, suddenly pulled his arm out of her hand.
With a bit of vicious meaning.
He said, "I'm not a patient, why are you being so cautious? Go away!"
When Xiao Shunzi and Aunt Tongyun, who were serving nearby, saw this, they didn't dare to say anything. They just lowered their heads and retreated silently.
Nan Yan was not angry at being thrown away by him. She just looked at him silently, then walked to the side and brewed a cup of hot tea and handed it to him. Zhu Feng frowned and said, "Did I say I wanted some tea?"
Nan Yan said calmly: "The weather is so cold, even if Your Majesty doesn't want to drink it, it would be nice to hold it in your hand to warm it up."
Zhu Feng said irritably, "I'm not cold."
Nan Yan immediately reached out and pinched his icy fingertips, saying, "It's so cold, how can you not be cold?"
Zhu Feng became more and more annoyed and tried to shake off her hand, but Nan Yan held on to her fingers tightly and he couldn't shake them off. When he was about to get angry, he turned around and saw Nan Yan's calm look, without any emotion at all. This made him even more annoyed and he became as unreasonable as a child.
He was silent for a moment, shook off her hand and slowly put it down.
Nan Yan took the opportunity to press the teacup into his hand, then she placed both of her hands on his to protect him, saying softly, "It's freezing cold, and the Emperor isn't used to it, so it's inevitable that he'll miss his aim. Once he gets used to it, not only Na Qin, but even his own father, even if he crawls out of his grave, won't be able to stop an arrow from the Emperor."
“…”
Zhu Feng didn't say anything, but just lowered his head to look at the cup of tea in his palm, which was swaying and reflected his pale face, as well as Nan Yan's hands. They were so slender, but at this moment they seemed even warmer than before. Warmth continued to come from her palms, piercing his heart with an irresistible meaning.
After a long silence, he finally suppressed the nameless irritation in his heart.
Then he said, "You don't have to comfort me."
“…”
"If Temur really crawls out of the grave, I'm afraid I'll have to spend more than just the three arrows I just shot."
Nan Yan's heart sank.
Of course, she knew that Zhu Feng's nameless anger was just because she had shot Na Qin dead with just three arrows. Falling from the pinnacle of success is bound to feel a sense of loss, especially since he was the dignified Emperor, a man who had always been strong. How could he accept a little weakness? However, the facts were the facts. His physical strength and energy were no longer what they used to be.
She didn't dare to say anything and could only let him get angry, but she didn't expect that Zhu Feng would say these words himself.
Nan Yan bit her lower lip and whispered, "Your Majesty, don't say that."
"Okay,"
Before she could think of words of comfort, Zhu Feng had already pulled his hand out of hers. Although he didn't have the same vicious intention as before, he didn't allow her to hesitate any longer. He just waved his hand and said, "Get out. I want to be alone for a while."
“…”
Nan Yan looked at him and stopped insisting, saying softly, "Your Majesty, have a good rest."
After saying that, he stood up and walked out.
The army had long known that the imperial concubine would be accompanying the emperor, so they had prepared a special tent for her. Aunt Tongyun and the others had already lit a charcoal brazier and were waiting there. It was warm inside, but when Nan Yan walked in, she felt extremely cold all over and couldn't help shivering.
Aunt Tongyun immediately asked, "Has the Madam caught a cold?"
In such a bitterly cold place, anyone would feel cold, not to mention catching a cold. But after Nan Yan walked in, she immediately ordered, "Change me into riding clothes."
"What?"
Aunt Tongyun knew that she had prepared several sets of casual clothes for riding in her luggage, but she wanted to change clothes when she should have been resting. She couldn't help but wonder: "My Queen..."
Nan Yan said, "Go."
Seeing her like this, Aunt Tongyun was full of doubts but did not dare to neglect her. She hurriedly took out a set of relatively thick clothes from her luggage and gave it to her to change into. The clothes had narrow sleeves and a tight waist, which made it convenient for walking, but it was inevitably not warm in such weather. Aunt Tongyun immediately gave her a cup of hot tea.
Nan Yan reluctantly swallowed two bites of snacks with hot tea.
Perhaps because she had eaten something, she felt more energetic than before. After taking another sip of tea, she suddenly raised her head and said, "Delu, you go out and watch. If the emperor mobilizes troops, report to me immediately."
De Lu was stunned for a moment, but immediately turned around and left.
Aunt Tongyun looked at her with some doubt. Although she knew she shouldn't say anything at this moment, she couldn't help but ask, "Madam, we just arrived. I'm afraid the dispatch won't be that fast."
Nan Yan shook her head: "Not necessarily."
"ah?"
Aunt Tongyun didn't understand war, but she was also shocked when she heard her say that. She couldn't help but ask, "Why do you say that, Your Majesty? Didn't we just fight a battle? And the Emperor just arrived. He needs to get used to the environment first."
Nan Yan silently snapped her fingers. In the icy snow, her frozen fingers crackled. After a while, she slowly said, "If it weren't for this surprise attack, the emperor would have paused for a while."
“…”
"But, if Monk were to launch a surprise attack at this time—the very eve of the Emperor's arrival at the Great Wall Moat—I'm afraid the Emperor would immediately dispatch troops."
"Why is that?"
As soon as Aunt Tongyun finished speaking, Delu, who had just walked out, ran in hurriedly and said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor is going to send troops."
"ah?!"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Tongyun looked at Nanyan in surprise.
Although she knew that the imperial concubine was smart, she didn't expect that she could even predict military affairs.
Nan Yan frowned and put the cup in her hand on the table with a bang. The tea spilled out and splashed all over her hands, but she didn't care at all. She hurriedly got up and walked out. As soon as she opened the curtain, she felt a gust of cold wind wrapped in fine snow foam hitting her face, like a knife cutting. However, this imperial concubine who should be delicate in people's eyes just reached out and wiped her face, and watched the figures swaying in the military camp in front of her, and the sound of footsteps and the neighing of horses mixed together.
Obviously doing a large-scale dispatch.
Nan Yan immediately said, "Call Ying Shao over to me."
De Lu hesitated for a moment and said, "My Lady, this is not a good idea, is it?"
This is a military camp, and the dispatch must be decided by His Majesty the Emperor. It is obvious that the imperial concubine is overstepping her bounds by calling the commander of the imperial guards at this time. It is not easy to say anything in the palace, but in the army, this is a big taboo and the person is punishable by death.
Nan Yan's brows knitted into a knot, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "Follow me to see the Emperor."
