Chapter 1611 Who are you?
Zhu Feng nodded and said, "Okay, let's go."
So, everyone started to load their carts and mount their horses, and soon the team continued to move forward in the wind and snow.
Sure enough, in the evening, the wind and snow subsided a lot, and their convoy finally entered the earthen city of Shazhouwei.
They had been traveling in the wilderness for so long, and finally they saw some traces of human activity.
Tingfu and the others who were driving in the car laughed happily.
Once they entered the earthen city, although there was no place to shelter from the wind and snow, they saw some earthen buildings around and even a few people kneeling on the ground along the way to welcome the emperor. The presence of some human voices finally lifted their spirits.
However, there was only one person whose emotions were completely unaffected.
It's not completely unaffected.
When everyone relaxed and finally arrived at a place to rest, she became even more nervous, even her breathing became faster, and her hands subconsciously clutched her sleeves.
Nan Yan looked at Ran Xiaoyu like this.
From the moment Yang Dai and the others came to pick her up, her expression was not right.
Nan Yan knew that this was like being homesick.
When I get closer to the person I miss, I feel the same.
However, she didn't want to comfort her. After all, it had come to this point and she would be able to see Ye Zheng soon. Ran Xiaoyu was uneasy, but she would eventually be comforted.
So she didn't ask any more questions.
I only looked outside through the slightly fluttering corner of the curtain.
Although Shazhouwei is an important garrison point in the northwest border, the environment is really harsh, from the earthen city outside to the earthen buildings inside, and the people who look ragged and pale.
People... ?
Nan Yan asked, "Your Majesty, why are there common people here?"
Zhu Feng took a look and said softly, "Since they are stationed here, some of their families will follow them. Moreover, there are also some civilians who have been robbed by the sand bandits. They are desperate and will seek refuge with the imperial court."
"oh."
"And of course, there are the prisoners."
"Prisoners? The prisoners we captured?"
Zhu Feng glanced at her before saying, "Ye Zheng attacked the Shazhouwei bandits before. Although he didn't take down their lair, he destroyed one of their strongholds and rescued a number of prisoners."
“…”
"Those people are also in the city now."
"oh……"
Nan Yan nodded.
At this time, the convoy walked along the long street to the end. In front of them was a courtyard, and right in front of the courtyard was a three-story earthen building.
Although it is an earthen building, it is decorated with white jade in the wind and snow.
Compared with the palaces in the palace, this earth building is nothing special and can even be called ugly. However, in such an earthen city, surrounded by some low houses, this courtyard and this earth building are quite imposing.
Zhu Feng got off the carriage and looked up.
"This is—"
Yang Dai immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, this is the Duwei Mansion of Shazhou Guard."
"Duwei Mansion..."
Zhu Feng repeated these three words and looked up again.
His expression was somewhat solemn.
He always managed his soldiers and those who followed him with an iron fist, and did not allow them to complain or feel tired. Because as a prince and the King of Yan, he guarded the border with them, shedding blood and sweat. If he could endure it, they could endure it too.
He also believed that enduring hardship was something that soldiers were born to endure.
If you can't bear it, there's no need to join the army.
However, that was when he was still in Peking. Although the Seven Guards of Guanxi was his own idea and he discussed its implementation with Heyi, this was the first time he came in person.
Only then did I realize how difficult life is in the northwestern border area.
And Ye Zheng...
Although he sent back a lot of messages, he never mentioned what the environment here was like.
Zhu Feng was silent for a while before he said in a low voice, "Does Ye Zheng usually live here?"
"No, Master Ye doesn't live here."
"Don't live here?"
Zhu Feng frowned slightly and turned to look at Yang Dai: "Where does he live?"
Could it be that there is a comfortable home of your own?
Yang Dai lowered her head and said carefully, "Master Ye usually stays on the other side of the city in a temporary tent that serves as the Commandant's residence."
"tent?"
"Yes, he personally supervises the troops."
“…”
"Because of this injury, we sent him back."
"oh……"
Zhu Feng nodded, with a hint of relief in his eyes.
There was also a bit more urgency.
He said, "Now, he is recuperating in there?"
"yes."
"Walk."
After saying this, he put his hands behind his back and led them into the Duwei Mansion.
Nan Yan followed behind him, listening to their conversation, and was already filled with emotion. At this moment, she couldn't wait to see Ye Zheng.
So, he followed Zhu Feng.
The group walked into the Duwei Mansion.
The room was slightly cleaned and tidied in preparation for the arrival of the emperor. You could still see some wet stains in the corners, but other places were still very old and simple.
Yang Dai led the way in front.
After a while, they were led to a small building.
This place is considered to be the cleaner and quieter place in the entire Duwei Mansion. There are also two lanterns hanging at the door, which is unprecedented.
In other places, there were no lanterns, only torches.
Yang Dai said, "Master Ye is inside."
Upon hearing this, Nan Yan frowned.
Although she had assured Ran Xiaoyu before that Ye Zheng would be fine, she was a little worried now that the imperial carriage had arrived at the door and she hadn't seen him yet.
Based on the relationship between Ye Zheng and Zhu Feng, as long as he still has breath, he will definitely get up to welcome him.
Could it be that he was really seriously injured?
Thinking of this, she became nervous again.
Ran Xiaoyu, who was following behind Nan Yan, was breathing rapidly and her heart was beating like thunder. Although she knew that she should not cross the position of the imperial concubine, she couldn't help but quicken her pace.
She opened her eyes wide and looked ahead.
Zhu Feng stood at the door and said, "Open the door."
"yes."
Yang Dai walked forward and pushed the door open.
The first floor of the small building is Ye Zheng's residence. When he opened the door, he saw an empty room with only a round table and two stools in the middle. On the table in front was an imperial edict.
It was an imperial edict appointing Ye Zheng as the deputy governor of Shazhou Prefecture.
Zhu Feng took a quick look and immediately turned his head away. There was a bed against the wall with thick curtains hanging over it, blocking the view. He could only vaguely see a person lying on the bed.
He hurried over.
Nan Yan and the others followed.
Especially Ran Xiaoyu, who almost rushed in front of the emperor.
But just as they reached the bed, another person suddenly came to the door. When he saw that they were all in Ye Zheng's room, he opened his eyes wide in shock.
"Who are you?"
