Chapter 3258: Are we going to fight?
She said, "Your Majesty really thinks it is God's will?"
Zhu Feng smiled faintly and said, "I remember that I lost one of the medicines Xue Yun made for me to detoxify me. Now I'm trying to find her notes, but they happened to catch fire. It seems like there's some mysterious force preventing us from having anything to do with her anymore."
“…”
Hearing this, Nan Yan's expression slowly changed.
When she looked at Zhu Feng again, her frustration and resentment suddenly subsided. She was quiet for a while and said softly, "I understand."
Zhu Feng then smiled and patted the back of her hand.
At this time, Zhu Chengjun was so thirsty from playing that he ran back and guzzled the teacup. While wiping his sweat, he asked, "Father, Mother, what are you talking about?"
Nan Yan smiled and poked his forehead: "It has nothing to do with you, go have fun."
Zhu Chengjun blinked at them, then turned and ran away with a smile.
Looking at the two children's nimble figures, Nan Yan asked again, "So, when does the emperor plan to deal with this matter?"
Zhu Feng said calmly, "No rush. The most important thing right now is the matter of White Tiger City. A few days ago, I received news that the Parthian Empire's envoys will be entering the country in less than two months. I figured I had to deal with the Eastern Chaga tribe and the White Tiger City matters before they arrived. That way, I could have peace of mind."
Nan Yan asked, "Less than two months?"
Zhu Feng nodded.
Nan Yan's brows furrowed again.
In other words, Zhu Feng has to completely eliminate the forces of Arslan and the Eastern Chaga tribe in Baihu City in less than two months?
This, how is this possible?
If he had been actively preparing for war since the day he arrived, or if the two sides had already started fighting, then it would be possible to say this now. However, from the time he arrived until now, he had only used Chaolu and Agula father and son to understand the situation inside White Tiger City. And judging from the map, at least for now, he had no confidence in sending troops to win.
In this way, how is it possible to capture White Tiger City in less than two months?
Only gods can do this.
So he asked, "Is it too late?"
Zhu Feng didn't answer her immediately. Instead, he looked up at the sky. After a long while, he slowly said, "It depends on God's will."
Is it God's will again?
Zhu Feng seems to be particularly fond of saying the word "God's will" recently.
Nan Yan understood that the word "God's will" also had two interpretations. One interpretation was that it was God's will, and the other interpretation was that Zhu Feng was the Son of Heaven, and the will of the Son of Heaven could also be called "God's will."
So, which one is the “God’s will” he is talking about?

However, instead of waiting for God's will, he waited for the White Tiger City to make a move.
On this day, because Zhu Chengjun had ridden horses too many times before, the wound on his thigh had not healed. Zhu Feng was worried that the wound would fester if it continued like this, so he asked him to rest for two days. But the child had finally come to a new place and always wanted to go out and take a look. He had already played around in the palm-sized place of the Commandant's Mansion over and over again, so he clamored to go out.
Zhu Feng thought about it, then changed into casual clothes with Nan Yan, and took him and Wen Bieyu out to have tea and see the scenery in the city.
Nan Yan was naturally happy as she didn't have to go out of the city and run under the scorching sun.
However, just as they were about to leave the Duwei Mansion, Chen Zixiao sent someone to report that traces of the Dang State cavalry were found near Handongwei.
Zhu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this: "Is it close?"
Chen Zixiao said: "It was found a few miles away."
"How many people are here?"
"Not many people, just a few."
Zhu Feng thought for a moment and said, "It seems that after killing Agula, they are also very cautious."
Chen Zixiao said, "Not only them, but even the people of the Eastern Chahe tribe have become more cautious recently and haven't made any moves. The caravans coming from the west haven't been harassed by them lately."
Zhu Feng smiled faintly and said, "That means it's just a matter of holding it in."
This is just a joking statement.
Whether it was Chen Zixiao or Nan Yan, their brows furrowed when they heard this.
What Zhu Feng meant by "a big battle" was that there would be a big battle to be fought next.
Although he had already estimated the military strength, Chen Zixiao couldn't help but calculate it again in his mind at this time. After all, when he estimated in the past, he only counted the troops under Arslan, but now, it was obvious that the Eastern Chagali tribe had to be included.
Nan Yan thought for a moment and asked, "Did Arslan know that the emperor was coming?"
Zhu Feng said, "There was such a big scene when I came here, I don't think I could have hidden it from them. Besides, Agula escaped and didn't have time to explain anything else, but he would have had time to explain my coming here."
“…”
"Although Arslan is not omniscient and omnipotent, he is not a fool."
“…”
"He may not know my true intention in letting Agula return, but the fact that a captive escaped from Handongwei is enough to make him suspicious. He has only sent a few men to investigate the situation. If he can't find out anything, then he will naturally have to fight a battle or two to understand my deployment."
Nan Yan asked, "Are you going to fight?"
No matter how many battles they have experienced, Nan Yan still has awe and fear towards war. After all, the victory is theirs, but the dead are also alive.
On the other hand, Zhu Chengjun, who had been quietly listening to their conversation, suddenly said excitedly, "Father, are you going to take me to the war?"
Zhu Feng looked down at him and said with a smile, "Do you want to go?"
Zhu Chengjun nodded immediately: "I want to go and take a look."
Nan Yan frowned and said, "You're like a little chicken. When you get into battle, you get knocked back with just one punch. What are you looking at?"
Hearing her ridicule, Zhu Chengjun immediately lowered his head dejectedly.
Zhu Feng said sternly, "What nonsense are you talking about? My son is no bastard, no matter how young he is. He naturally has his own abilities. Don't pour cold water on him."
Normally, he seldom interrupted Nan Yan when she was disciplining the children, at least he never criticized Nan Yan to her face. This was the first time that he defended him in front of the children. Nan Yan blinked, as if he understood something. For such a young child, the best way to deal with what he wanted to do was to encourage him, not to belittle him.
Especially since Zhu Feng attached great importance to this child's future as a martial artist, so saying this would naturally offend his taboo.
So he whispered, "Yes."
Zhu Feng then reached out and touched Zhu Chengjun's hair.
"Don't worry, the Northwest is such a big place, there will naturally be a time for you to fly."
Zhu Chengjun clapped his hands with joy.
Zhu Feng smiled and turned to Nan Yan and said, "Okay, take them out for a walk."
Nan Yan asked, "The Emperor isn't going?"
Zhu Feng said, "I just remembered that I have something else to do. You guys go ahead."
