Chapter 1027: Yingying holds Chu Gong's waist
A group of people and horses, hiding themselves all the way, finally entered Changqing City smoothly.
Fortunately, although King Ning had sent troops to pursue them, he did not dare to openly publish their portraits in Changqing City, so the two people were still safe for the time being.
But it is not absolutely safe.
They rode their horses, but they didn't dare to take the main roads, instead taking more secluded paths. This required very high riding skills. Zhu Feng was fine, but poor Nan Yan, who was already weak, was so bad that the horse bumped along the rough path that she didn't even have the strength to steady herself.
The only support is the hand around the waist.
At some point, when Zhu Feng realized that she was very tired and had no strength to sit still, he freed one hand, put it around her waist, and held her tightly.
Because of this hand, Nan Yan could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
On the other hand, Zhu Feng, who was sitting behind her, put his big hand around her slender waist. His heart couldn't help but move slightly, and an inexplicable idea popped up in his mind -
Her waist is so thin.
This is what is called, a gentle grip on the waist of the Queen Mother...
What's even stranger is that after this thought came to my mind, a strange feeling immediately arose in my heart, as if I had experienced this scene, this moment, and even this thought before.
This woman in my arms... must have had some relationship with me.
He couldn't help but lower his head and look at her slightly red earlobes.
In fact, this was not the first time that the two of them rode together. Although he didn't remember it, Nan Yan still remembered it clearly.
Even with my back pressed against his chest, I could feel the rise and fall of his chest.
And there's that kind of aura that surrounds me and makes me feel at ease...
Everything feels like a dream.
She went back to the past, when they were still very close and in love.
But the next moment, Nan Yan shook her head vigorously, suppressing the almost beautiful emotions. It was already this time, not the time to think about random things.
They have to survive first.
So, she looked at the road ahead which seemed a little desolate and let out a soft "ah".
This is not the first time on this journey.
As long as the question was not too complicated, Zhu Feng could almost sense what she wanted to say through her heartbeat, and this moment was no exception.
Zhu Feng said, "The imperial carriage should still be outside the city. We just need to leave Changqing City and meet up with them."
"ah."
"They shouldn't have entered the city yet. If the emperor enters, there should be a reaction in the city."
That’s true.
Nan Yan looked around and saw that everything was still peaceful. The people had no sense of crisis of impending storm.
However, just as she was thinking about it, Zhu Feng behind her suddenly said "hmm".
This sound showed a bit of vigilance.
Nan Yan subconsciously turned around to look at him, only to see him suddenly tighten his grip on the reins and say in a deep voice, "Hold on tight."
Nan Yan hurriedly reached out and grabbed his hand around her waist, and the next moment, he suddenly squeezed the horse's belly, and the horse he was sitting on immediately ran forward. When he was about to get on the main road, he suddenly turned the horse's head, and their horse turned and ran into the alley next to it.
What's going on?
Nan Yan was completely at a loss, but before she could ask, she heard a sudden burst of hurried horse hooves behind them.
The two people hid in the alley and were not easily discovered, but Nan Yan still subconsciously held her breath. She saw a group of people, at least twenty or thirty of them, all tall and burly men with swords. They were riding horses, shouting loudly and galloping forward.
Because they did not dodge at all, some street stalls were kicked over by them.
However, the common people dare not speak out.
Nan Yan watched as a group of people sped away, leaving behind a cloud of dust, and couldn't help but feel a lingering fear. It was just a moment ago. If Zhu Feng hadn't reacted in time and retreated to this small alley, they would have been discovered.
She looked back at him in surprise: "Huh?"
Zhu Feng seemed to have sensed her astonishment in his eyes and simply said, "This is the nature of those who have been on the battlefield. If you can't perceive and judge danger and hostility in advance, you can easily die."
"oh……"
Nan Yan couldn't help but nodded, and couldn't help but think that she would be absolutely safe if she stayed with him for a while.
But she looked at him again: "Ah, ah."
"These are people from Prince Ning's Mansion. It looks like they are here to capture us or close the city gates."
"ah?!"
Zhu Feng glanced back at them and said, "It seems they've heard that we bought horses, and they want to close the city gates to prevent us from escaping Changqing City."
"ah!"
"Breaking in by force is not a solution," Zhu Feng's eyes were cold, without the fierceness and impulsiveness he had when fighting with others before. As a veteran of the battlefield, he knew very well that he should adjust his tactics when facing different situations.
Now that Prince Ning's rebellion has been exposed and he knows that I have understood this, the troops he sent out will definitely not be just a small group of people for testing as before.
As a brother, he should be very clear about his own strength.
Therefore, the number of people coming to hunt them down would not be less than a hundred.
In this case, he really couldn't act rashly like before, especially—he looked down at the little woman in his arms.
Can't let her get hurt.
At this moment, the little girl opened her pair of black and white eyes wide, which were full of worry for herself. She looked at herself anxiously, wanting to speak, but she couldn't say a word. She could only keep shouting "ah ah".
This call made him feel hot inside.
He let out a deep breath, then said, "It seems that before leaving the city to meet the emperor, we have to find a way to find other help."
Other help?
Nan Yan was a little stunned and looked at him in confusion.
Is there anyone else in the city?
Zhu Feng's eyes flickered slightly.
He recalled that when he decided to tour Prince Ning's fiefdom, he did not make the decision and ignore it, but carefully read some documents, including some secret letters he had received in the secret cabinet of the imperial study.
He had already memorized some of the names on the letter.
By this time, the sound of horse hooves had already gone far away and could no longer be heard. Zhu Feng then spurred his horse out of the alley. He looked around, took a quick look at the direction, and then spurred his horse in another direction.
Nan Yan looked back at him worriedly: "Huh?"
Zhu Feng said solemnly: "Don't worry, we will go find our helpers."
