Chapter 3294: Old Uncle and Wen Wuyu
When Nan Yan saw him, she immediately went over to pay her respects, but at this moment, she discovered that Wen Wu Yu, who was originally standing at the gate of the courtyard and closest to the old uncle, suddenly shivered and hid behind her.
Nan Yan frowned.
Ruoshui and Delu were anxious. Regardless of whether this man was a madman or not, he was a stranger after all. How could he get so close to the imperial concubine?
So two people immediately grabbed his arms and pulled him away from Nan Yan. Wen Wu Yu was panicked and stubborn, shaking his head desperately in protest, saying, "I won't leave, I won't leave!"
Seeing this, the old uncle came over and asked, "What's going on?"
Nan Yan's mind was also a little confused at this time, and she only said: "Uncle, please forgive me. He is Cheng Jun's uncle who is a tutor. He is a - in short, not very good. This time, the emperor brought him along as well, and I am sorry to have disturbed you, uncle."
The old prince looked at her in confusion, then looked at Wen Wu Yu who was shivering and turning his face away.
It is understandable that the emperor and the imperial concubine brought the Prince of Han with them on this trip, and it is also understandable that they brought the Prince of Han's tutor with them.
However, the uncle who brought the tutor with him was still a lunatic...
This is inappropriate no matter how you look at it.
However, in the dim light, the old uncle didn't say much. He only saw his eyes flicker for a moment, and then he said calmly: "It's getting late, we should set off. If he wants to follow, let him follow."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Let him follow?
Nan Yan looked back at Wen Wuyu hesitantly. She would never consider taking such a person with her. However, after what happened just now, she felt a little suspicious. After thinking about it, she simply said, "Let's take him with us."
"ah?"
Ruoshui opened her eyes wide: "Take him with you? Madam, he is a——"
"Okay, I understand."
Nan Yan interrupted her: "It's getting late, we have to go. Can you afford to delay any longer?"
Upon hearing this, Ruoshui didn't dare to say anything more. She could only helplessly help Delu to deal with Wen Wuyu, and then followed Nanyan out.
When they arrived at the gate of the Duwei Mansion, the troops escorting them were already waiting in line.
This time, we won’t be riding in a carriage.
There were no roads around, it was completely a wasteland. Even horse racing might not be safe, let alone a carriage, so Nan Yan could not make any exceptions. She wore a veil on her head, which could block most of the sunlight and wind and sand, but it was also very stuffy, and her heart felt even heavier.
When she reached the door and saw the troops waiting in line, she turned around and asked, "Where is the emperor?"
The one escorting the old uncle and the imperial concubine was none other than Ying Shao, Zhu Feng's most trusted commander of the imperial guards who had served him for many years. Upon hearing this, he immediately stepped forward and said, "The emperor has already set out."
Nan Yan frowned and couldn't help but murmured softly, "Why didn't you say anything?"
Ying Shao said, "The Emperor has always been swift and decisive in military affairs and never procrastinates. I hope Your Majesty will understand."
Nan Yan sighed.
It’s not that she doesn’t sympathize with Zhu Feng, but with the war imminent, she still wants to take one more look at Zhu Feng. One more look would make her feel more confident.
But since it was already like this, she didn't complain much and ordered, "Let's get ready to go."
"yes."
Ying Shao went down immediately to direct the people below, and at this moment, Nan Yan felt someone pulling her sleeve. She frowned slightly and looked back, and saw Wen Wu Yu standing not far behind her grabbing her sleeve. He still had a silly look on his face, but his eyes seemed a little panicked, like a frightened child, and he was still holding on to Nan Yan's sleeve.
Ruoshui, who was standing by, got a little angry and shouted, "How dare you grab the queen's clothes? Let me go!"
Apart from anything else, this would damage the Imperial Concubine's reputation. What would happen if someone saw this?!
Wen Wuyu was frightened by her and trembled, letting go of the sleeve in his hand. Ruoshui said, "Delu, keep a close eye on him and don't let him run towards the Empress again. What a shame!"
De Lu stuck out his tongue and immediately dragged Wen Wu Yu to the side.
But Nan Yan saw Wen Wuyu's panicked and helpless face, as if hesitant to speak, so she walked over patiently and said softly, "What do you want to say to me?"
Wen Wuyu then looked up. Through the veil on the veil, he could faintly see Nan Yan's calm eyes. He said softly, "Please don't go near him."
Nan Yan looked in the direction of his finger.
He was pointing at the old uncle of the king who was about to mount his horse not far away.
Nan Yan whispered, "Why? Do you know him? Or, what did he do to you?"
Wen Wu Yu was confused for a moment, then suddenly laughed again, grinning and saying, "What? Who do I know? I don't know, I don't know anyone, hehe..."
He's crazy again.
Seeing him like this, Nan Yan knew that she would not be able to get anything out of him in such a hurry, so she could only wave her hand and let De Lu take him away, and have someone watch him on the road to ensure that nothing went wrong. She also got on the horse with a heavy heart.
She vaguely felt that something was wrong with Wen Wu Yu.
Although he had been crazy for so many years, Wen Liyu and Wen Bieyu mentioned that he had never reacted to anyone. In his crazy, little world, he only recognized his two relatives. As for other people, he was crazy and stupid for a while, and nothing could really affect him.
However, he seemed to have a reaction to the old uncle.
And it was not a simple reaction. From the fact that he hid behind Nan Yan when he saw the old prince appear, to what he just said to Nan Yan, it seemed that in his crazy consciousness, the old prince was a dangerous person.
Could it be that the two had met before? Had the old uncle threatened him?
But this is almost impossible. Not to mention that the old uncle has been practicing in Zhenwu Temple since he became a monk, even his three sons were brought to serve Zhu Feng by his fellow practitioner, Taoist Shouzhen. Even before he became a monk, as the brother of Empress Chen, he was the right-hand man of Emperor Gao in conquering the world and was a powerful figure in the court. How could he possibly make things difficult for a fool?
Besides, the old uncle of the state also saw Wen Wu Yu just now. Judging from his reaction, he didn't seem to recognize this person. Given the old uncle of the state's ability, it is impossible for him to completely forget someone he had seen before, right?
If it were any other time, Nan Yan would definitely go to Zhu Feng and tell him about this matter, so that the two of them could discuss it together. Unfortunately, the war was imminent and Zhu Feng had no time to take care of this matter. She had no choice but to figure it out on her own.
Seeing that everyone had mounted their horses, the old prince turned around and glanced at her from the front.
Nan Yan understood what he meant and waved her hand: "Let's go!"
The team left Handongwei in a mighty manner.
