Chapter 2625 That night, it was you
Nan Yan suddenly became speechless.
She remembered the lonely figure standing among the flying pigeons in Kulun City that year, and also thought of the sad look in her eyes when she asked her about Xue Yun a few days ago.
Is there anything else I don’t understand?
Yan Ye said calmly, "At that time, I had already thought that one day, Monk and Arslan would break up. I could only side with one side, while the other side needed my voice but not my presence."
“…”
"So, I prepared Xiu Yun in advance."
“…”
"Let her give Ashiger a push on his path to death and successfully gain Monk's trust. After that, I won't need to personally intervene to influence Monk's decisions anymore."
Xiu Yun looked at him and said softly, "It's my fault. I've let you down."
Yan Ye said: "You did a great job."
“…”
Xiuyun lowered his head.
Nan Yan sat aside, silent for a long time, and then she said softly: "So, that carrier pigeon letter back then, the one about having no desires, and the Chaganbala a few days ago -"
Yan Ye said calmly, "I was the one who spread all this."
“…”
"Back then, I sent someone close to Arslan to find out that you had entered the palace and had a close relationship with the Emperor, so I passed the letter to you."
Nan Yan took a deep breath.
No wonder, the pigeon used for carrier pigeons was clearly the gray pigeon raised by Xiu Yun, and the pattern on the pigeon's leg ring was used by the royal family of the Neng Kingdom. Since Yan Ye was the national teacher following King Beili, he could naturally get such a thing.
Nan Yan whispered, "Since Brother Ye knew it was me, why didn't he reveal his identity to me?"
Yan Ye glanced at her.
After a moment of silence, he said calmly, "What I want to do cannot be accomplished overnight."
“…”
"Exposing myself too early, even just to you, will have an impact on me."
“…”
"I don't want anyone to influence me when I do things."
Although his voice was pleasant, the words he said were very real, like ice spikes. Even if they didn't hurt people, they could still make people feel a chill that made it difficult for them to get close to him.
Even Nan Yan couldn't believe it. This was the "Brother Ye" who was so close to her when she was a child.
Perhaps it is because, over the years, he has become accustomed to and must travel alone.
Xiu Yun said softly, "Over the years, Master Yan's life has been difficult. Although he holds a high position of power, there are still many people in the country of Dian who want to kill him—"
"Okay."
Yan Ye interrupted her calmly: "There's no need to talk about this."
Xiu Yun immediately lowered his head: "Yes."
Although she was Monk's concubine - of course, she was obviously not anymore, otherwise, she would not have appeared in this place with Yan Ye, but her obedience to Yan Ye seemed to have penetrated into her bones.
The "difference between the emperor and his subjects" over the years has never caused her any confusion.
Yan Ye thought for a moment and said, "Right now, there's only one thing I want to know."
Zhu Feng asked, "What do you want to know?"
Yan Ye said: "How did your Majesty know it was me? And how did you know——"
As he spoke, he lowered his head and looked at Xue Yun, who was sleeping peacefully in his arms. As if to avoid waking her up, he subconsciously lowered his voice and said, "The relationship between her and me."
Zhu Feng said calmly: "This is not difficult."
"oh?"
"I've already met you at least once. And someone like you would leave a deep impression on me even if I couldn't see your face."
Nan Yan's eyes suddenly widened. "We've met once? When?"
Zhu Feng asked, "Have you forgotten?"
"I?"
Nan Yan was stunned: "Am I here too?"
Zhu Feng said: "Desolate city."
“……!”
Nan Yan was stunned again, then lowered her head to think about it, and suddenly took a breath and suddenly woke up.
Looking at Yan Ye: "That, that black shadow at that time, was it Brother Ye?"
Yan Ye was silent for a while.
Finally, he nodded gently.
Although he had admitted it, Nan Yan was still a little bit unconvinced. She stared at him with wide eyes. Zhu Feng said, "I understand what you did in the Kingdom of Dian, but that time you were—"
Yan Ye said: "When the blood relationship is determined, something big will happen."
“…”
“…”
As soon as he said this, Zhu Feng and Nan Yan fell silent.
good.
Blood relationship determination will indeed cause big trouble.
They may not have known it at the time, but now, they all knew that Monk and Arslan had deceived them both through the blood relationship determination, and also laid the seeds for the subsequent changes in the Great Altar.
Zhu Feng said: "At that time, you will know my——"
Having said this, he swallowed the last two words. Yan Ye, on the other hand, didn't need him to finish. He just calmly took over the conversation and said, "I don't know the details."
“…”
"But I know that Concubine Si is not Princess Tana's daughter."
“…”
"Monk and the others are well aware of this, yet they continue to push this matter forward. There must be a conspiracy."
“…”
"But at that time, there was not enough time for me to find out the truth. I could only cut off the conspiracy at the Imperial City, that is, at the wizard's body."
Nan Yan said, "So, you were the one who killed the wizard who knew how to determine blood relationship?"
Yan Ye said: "Yes."
“…”
"Unfortunately, we were in a hurry and couldn't do it cleanly enough."
“…”
"He told you the method before he died. I used the formation to trap you, hoping to buy a little more time so that I could find a way to solve this problem. Unfortunately—"
He glanced at Zhu Feng.
Zhu Feng's brows also furrowed.
Unfortunately, at that time, he was completely unaware of Yan Ye's painstaking efforts. He broke his formation, took everyone out of the deserted city, and followed the guidance of Monk and others to the beacon tower.
Nan Yan listened to their words and recalled that thrilling night.
He sighed softly, "Really, I didn't expect that."
“…”
"At that time, I just wanted to find out about my own life experience, but I didn't expect that the person who was trying to stop me was the one who really wanted to help me."
Yan Ye lowered his eyes indifferently.
Nan Yan was silent for a moment, then suddenly thought of something. She turned to look at Zhu Feng and said, "The Emperor just said that he and Brother Ye had met at least once."
"Um."
"That--"
Zhu Feng said, "We've met at least once. If it happens more often, it means he appears, but I can't see him."
“…”
"Or rather, he didn't want me, Xue Yun, to see him."
“……!”
Nan Yan suddenly opened her eyes wide.
Yan Ye's lowered eyes were also illuminated by the firelight, and flashed slightly.
Nan Yan hurriedly asked, "When was it?"
Zhu Feng said: "The earliest one should be at Yumen Pass."
“…”
"Yan Ye, I am not wrong."
“…”
"That night, it was you."
