Chapter 3638 This time, I will go very far
Nan Yan's tent was not right next to the emperor's central military tent, but on the other side of the camp, some distance away from the central military tent. As soon as Nan Yan walked out, he saw flags fluttering outside, war horses neighing, and people constantly walking out.
As Nan Yan walked towards the central military tent, he looked at the figures walking in front of him, his brows furrowed more and more tightly.
At this time, Delu, who was following behind him, whispered, "Master Ying?"
Nan Yan looked up and saw Ying Shao leading his men out of the central army tent not far ahead, walking out along the avenue.
Seeing him like this, Nan Yan immediately turned around and walked towards the camp entrance.
Aunt Tongyun followed behind her and felt that Nanyan's pace was getting faster and faster, almost jogging to keep up. She panted and whispered softly, "Madam, are you going out?"
Nan Yan walked forward and said, "The emperor must no longer be in the tent!"
Along the way, the soldiers in the camp were so frightened when they saw the imperial concubine that they all lowered their heads and retreated to both sides.
They had, of course, heard long ago that the Imperial Concubine was fearless. His Majesty had brought her along on several of his southern tours and even on military campaigns. Those around him, especially the imperial guards, had long since grown accustomed to her presence. But habit was habit, and rules were rules; they still didn't dare to move about in front of the Imperial Concubine and could only retreat.
Nan Yan walked faster and faster. Just as he was about to reach the gate of the camp, a group of people suddenly rushed out from the side and galloped towards the gate.
"emperor!"
Nan Yan let out a low cry and rushed forward in a flash.
With a long neigh, the leading horseman stopped abruptly, raising a cloud of snow foam on the ground that flew directly onto Nan Yan's face. Aunt Tongyun and the others were terrified and hurried forward to hold the imperial concubine. When they looked up, they saw that the person riding the horse was none other than His Majesty the Emperor.
Zhu Feng was obviously startled, but his face immediately darkened and he stared at Nan Yan with a sullen expression.
"Asshole!"
Everyone was so frightened that their faces turned pale and they knelt on the ground in panic.
Just as Nan Yan was about to speak, she heard Zhu Feng say in a deep voice, "Why are you taking care of the imperial concubine? Let her rush in front of me. If she gets hurt, you will all have your heads chopped off!"
No one dared to speak, they just knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
Zhu Feng glanced at Nan Yan again, his expression slightly relaxed, but his face remained sullen: "I didn't bump into you, did I?"
Nan Yan asked, "Where is the emperor going?"
Zhu Feng said, "I'm asking you a question."
Nan Yan said, "I'm fine. Where is the emperor going?"
“…”
Zhu Feng gritted his teeth, looking like he was about to lose his temper, but after looking around, he suppressed his anger and said with a sigh, "I'm just out for an inspection. Why are you so nervous?"
Nan Yan immediately said, "I will accompany the emperor."
Zhu Feng said, "I'm just inspecting."
Nan Yan said, "I will accompany the emperor on his inspection tour."
In the entire camp, except for the soldiers who were farther away and didn't know what was going on, those who were standing closer all knelt on the ground with their heads bowed, without making a sound.
It’s not that they don’t want to speak out, but everyone can feel the terrifying aura emanating from His Majesty the Emperor.
At this moment, the only one who dared to look directly at the emperor was this imperial concubine.
Nan Yan stared straight into Zhu Feng's eyes without any retreat.
The two looked at each other for a long moment. Zhu Feng took a long breath and spoke with a suppressed calmness in his voice. He said in a deep voice, "This time, I will go very far."
Nan Yan said: "It's not like I won't come back."
“…”
“…”
The air seemed to freeze.
Nan Yan continued, "No matter how far it is, I will accompany the emperor."
Zhu Feng moved his lips and was about to say something when he was interrupted by Nan Yan again.
"Let's go back together again."
“…”
Zhu Feng looked at her in silence for a long time. The chilling anger in his body slowly dissipated, and instead a helpless expression appeared on his brows. He looked at Nan Yan for a long time and sighed deeply.
He said in a deep voice: "Come here, lead the horse for the imperial concubine."
Ying Shao, who was standing by, dismounted and walked towards the stable to personally lead the horse for the imperial concubine.
The people around him remained silent and lowered their heads.
Everyone could see that the emperor and the imperial concubine were arguing in public.
What's more strange is that the one who refused to give in at all was the imperial concubine who should not have appeared in the military camp at all.
What is even more incredible is that the Emperor, who has always been strict and disciplined in the army, completely lost his former courage when facing the imperial concubine, and even showed some intention of giving in.
There was no triumphant smile on Nan Yan's face. She just kept staring at Zhu Feng, as if she was afraid that if she blinked, he would ride his horse over her head. Fortunately, Ying Shao came over soon with horses. There was not only Nan Yan's horse, but also several other horses, which were obviously for Aunt Tongyun, Delu and others.
Aunt Tongyun and Delu were stunned for a moment. Although they were Nanyan's personal servants, they usually did not follow her on such occasions during the past few tours.
Nan Yan also frowned: "Your Majesty, are they going too?"
Zhu Feng sat on his horse, straightening his back in the biting cold wind, and said, "I just said that this time, I will go very far."
“…”
Nan Yan didn't say anything else. She turned around and gestured to Aunt Tongyun and the others, and they all got on their horses. Zhu Feng waved his hand, and the counted troops and horses immediately followed them out of the camp like a gust of wind.
It’s not that Nan Yan hasn’t been to the grassland before. Having lived in the capital for so many years, she has long been familiar with the bitter cold in the north.
But this time, it was obviously different from the past.
She no longer had a comfortable carriage, and there were no heaters at her feet and hands that the palace maids had thoughtfully prepared for her. Riding on a horse, the bone-shattering bumps were a small matter. The biting cold wind almost turned into a sharp blade that cut her face, making her whole body numb. If she wasn't careful, she would fall off the horse.
However, Nan Yan gritted her teeth and persevered.
Zhu Feng seemed to want to let her know the "end" of following him, and he did not take any extra care of her along the way. He set out at his own pace. Three groups of people set out at the same time, two groups rushed to the northeast and northwest respectively, and turned back to Kulun City after walking four or five hundred miles. Zhu Feng took the middle route, leading five thousand people and traveling light, and walked more than two hundred miles in one day and one night.
He was obviously chasing a group of Dian cavalrymen who had attacked the Great Wall trench camp.
And that group of people was obviously ahead of them.
After walking for a day and a night, they would occasionally find messy footprints and food residues on the snow.
Then, on the third morning, they discovered that the group had changed their route.
