Chapter 1782 This time, it’s not a coincidence!
"At least Jiang Qu sent back a message asking us to stop the Imperial Concubine's men. Do you still doubt him?"
Long Tingyun sneered.
"He did send back a message, but what was the result? Look at Ji Tong."
Upon hearing this, Ji Tong immediately said, "If the emperor and his men hadn't been prepared and set up this trap for us to fall into, our people wouldn't have been captured in one fell swoop. If I hadn't tried my best to escape, I'm afraid I would have died by now."
“…”
"Boss, this incident is definitely not a coincidence!"
The Houthis were left speechless by these words.
He gritted his teeth, and turned to look at Wu Lun unwillingly: "Boss, we-"
"Okay, no more talk."
Wu Lun waved his hand, interrupting him, then looked at Long Tingyun and thought for a moment before saying, "Military Advisor's words make sense. Ji Tong, you go down and recuperate first. Someone come!"
The two bandits outside immediately came up.
"What are your orders, Master?"
"Go to the dungeon and release that man for me."
"yes."
When the two bandits heard the order, they were stunned for a moment, but they did not dare to delay and quickly turned around and ran away.
And Hussehei stomped his feet fiercely.
He left angrily.
Wu Lun turned back to look at Long Tingyun and said, "Military Advisor, if Jiang Qu really betrays us, what should we do next?"
Long Tingyun shook the white feather fan in his hand and said, "We can't say for sure whether he betrayed us or not."
"That--"
"But," he continued before Uren could speak, "we must be prepared and not sit idly by."
"So what should we do?"
Long Tingyun was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "We can't trust everything he says again."

"Your Majesty, if that man named Ji Tong escapes and returns, he will definitely spread the news about us to Thermidor."
Hearing Xiao Shunzi's words, Zhu Feng stopped.
Xiao Shunzi looked at him cautiously.
Originally, it was not his place as a servant to interfere in such matters, but after following Zhu Feng for so long, even if he did not understand military tactics, he could still tell the priorities of matters.
It is a serious matter that this sand bandit escaped.
But His Majesty the Emperor seemed to have no reaction to this matter, and he didn't even seem to get angry.
Xiao Shunzi was really worried, so he could only say this one more thing.
After he finished speaking, he seemed to hear a voice whispering, "I'm afraid he won't pass it back."
"ah?"
Xiao Shunzi looked at the imperial concubine in surprise, with a look of confusion on his face.
Was it she who said that just now?
What's the meaning?
As if sensing his puzzled gaze, the imperial concubine glanced at him. Xiao Shunzi hurriedly lowered his head, only to see the imperial concubine reaching out to wipe the corner of her lips, as if trying to wipe away the curve that had formed there.
She looked very serious, as if no one had ever said that.
He whispered to the emperor, "Your Majesty, since the incident has already happened, Your Majesty should deal with it."
Xiao Shunzi raised his head carefully again.
Zhu Feng stood with his hands behind his back and glanced back. Fang Buyuan hurried forward and bowed his head to obey. Zhu Feng said calmly, "Those who patrolled last night, go and receive your punishment."
“…”
Xiao Shunzi was stunned.
The emperor had already left with the imperial concubine.
Fang Buyuan immediately accepted the order, then turned and instructed the people behind him, "The emperor has ordered that the two teams who changed shifts last night go down and accept their punishment."
The person behind responded: "Yes!"
After saying this, these people walked to the other side.
Xiao Shunzi felt even more puzzled. Although the bandits escaped last night due to the negligence of these people, they should be punished according to military law, but - this didn't seem to be the most important thing, right?
He turned around and looked at Fang Buyuan: "Commander Fang, this——"
Fang Buyuan just waved his hand at him: "The Emperor will make his own arrangements."
After saying that, he left.
Xiao Shunzi stood there, already somewhat bewildered. A young eunuch came running over and whispered, "Eunuch Shun, hurry over and serve! The Emperor and Empress need to wash and set off immediately."
Xiao Shunzi could only follow quickly.
Although this place was in the wilderness, they immediately got hot water, and Ran Xiaoyu helped Nan Yan to the other side to wash.
She was still a little worried: "My Lady, are you really okay?"
I don’t know how many times I heard Zhu Feng ask this question last night.
Nan Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Do I really have to jump a few times to prove to you that I am intact now?"
“…”
Ran Xiaoyu's brows were furrowed.
It wasn't because he was worried about her, but rather because he felt a little unbelievable: "Last night was such a thrilling situation, and there was so much blood... How could your Majesty not be afraid at all?"
Nan Yan said: "After all, I have followed the emperor to the battlefield so many times, I am no longer afraid. Besides-"
Having said that, she couldn't help but reach out and touch her belly.
I remembered what Zhu Feng said last night.
The baby in her belly affects her emotions.
This child is not afraid of danger. In fact, the more dangerous and difficult the situation is, the more excited he will feel.
Such a person is a natural general.
Nan Yan murmured, "Really? Are you really a natural born general?"
Ran Xiaoyu listened to her whispering voice and asked, "My Lady, what are you talking about?"
Nan Yan glanced at her, smiled, and shook her head, saying, "It's okay. Help me comb my hair. We're about to leave."
"……yes."
After a while, everything was taken care of for her. It was naturally more convenient for Zhu Feng, who only needed to wash his face with warm water.
The other guards had already dressed up and were ready to go, so the group prepared to set off.
At this time, Fang Buyuan took care of some things on the other side. Then he walked up to Zhu Feng and bowed to him, saying, "Your Majesty, what should we do with these prisoners?"
Zhu Feng looked up.
I saw several soldiers coming over with hemp ropes. In order to prevent any more bandits from escaping, they not only tied up each bandit's hands behind his back, but also tied up dozens of people with a long rope. In this way, if any one person tried to escape, everyone around would see it.
These people were like cattle and sheep being led, with their heads down and not daring to speak.
Zhu Feng looked at them and said, "Send some people to take them back to Shazhouwei and hand them over to Yang Dai."
"yes."
Fang Buyuan immediately gave the order and a group of people were separated from the team, taking the captives back the way they came.
I kept watching their backs disappear into the snowy wasteland.
At this time, the sun slowly rose from the horizon.
The entire wasteland became full of vitality, as if they had welcomed a new day and a new beginning.
Zhu Feng turned around and said to the road ahead of them: "Let's set off to White Dragon City!"
