Chapter 2636: The Clouds Clear and the Moon Shines
A light flashed in Nan Yan's eyes.
"The Emperor asked her to return to White Dragon City for the White Tiger City battle, and to provide Arslan with 'medicine for injuries'?"
Zhu Feng said: "Not bad."
Nan Yan couldn't help but gasp again.
No wonder…
After this great battle, Zhu Feng buried the dead cattle and sheep at the water source early on, causing Monk's garrison to be infected with an epidemic, leaving the enemy with no strength to continue fighting. However, for Arslan, it seemed that there was no other arrangement.
But she knew in her heart that this was impossible.
Monk's arrangements have been made clearly, and it is impossible for him to leave Arslan behind.
It turned out that the killer move against Arslan had been laid earlier.
Nan Yan said softly, "The Emperor asked Madam Xue to return to Bailong City and continue doing business with Arslan. In this battle, his troops suffered heavy casualties and needed a large amount of medicine, but the Emperor asked Madam Xue to provide - yes, useless medicine."
Zhu Feng said: "It's harmful."
“…”
"This will cause him to lose even more men."
Nan Yan continued, "He discovered that there was something wrong with the medicine. He definitely couldn't swallow this."
“…”
"He can't deal with Monk, but he still won't take a small White Dragon City or a small Xue family seriously."
“…”
"So, he should gather his remaining troops soon and attack White Dragon City?"
Zhu Feng said: "Not bad."
“…”
"The troops in Bailong City are enough for them to resist the bandits on the grassland, but they have no chance of winning against a force like Arslan. They must ask for help."
“…”
"With that old lady Xue here, there's only one person they can turn to for help."
“…”
Nan Yan sat beside him, watching the curtain sway slightly. The last bit of golden sunlight shone on Zhu Feng's face, making his long eyelashes look as if they were gilded.
Such light added a bit of sharpness to his gaze.
However, too often, this sharpness was hidden in his eyes, which were as deep as a bottomless pool, making it difficult to distinguish.
If he doesn't say it, who would know?
Nan Yan said, "No wonder the Emperor didn't severely punish Madam Xue at that time."
“…”
"I thought you were worried that Xue Yun would continue to help the emperor detoxify, so as not to hurt her feelings. It turns out that—"
At this point, she sighed and said, "The Emperor is too cunning—the Emperor is truly wise."
“…”
"Even if His Majesty had done something like this, it would still take me a long time to think about it."
Zhu Feng glanced at her.
He reached out and poked her between the eyebrows, saying, "Do you think that everyone can be emperor and fight a war?"
“…”
"I also practiced for more than ten years."
“…”
"If I hadn't suffered losses in the past, I wouldn't let anyone suffer losses now."
Nan Yan asked, "When will this battle begin?"
Zhu Feng said, "Before Yan Ye left, he told me that Arslan seemed to have discovered the problem with the medicine. However, his troops were severely damaged, and it would take some time to gather the remaining troops."
“…”
"I estimate that it will take him another half a month to send out his troops."
“…”
"Take advantage of this half month to build up momentum and scare the people in Bailong City. It would be best if we could get them to surrender the city before Arslan sends out his troops. This way, we can save a single soldier and that would be the best."
Nan Yan almost sighed over those words again in her heart.
Really, too cunning.
She thought for a moment and then said, "Then, what about the Xue family?"
“…”
"Brother Ye and Xue Yun both hope that the emperor will help them deal with the Xue family's affairs. Will Madam Xue do anything more about Xue Yun's departure?"
Zhu Feng said calmly, "She dares?"
“…”
"Her life is already hanging by a thread here with me. She has completely offended Arslan with the medicine issue. What else can she do?"
“…”
"After Bailong City surrenders, there will be no more meaning for the Xue family to stay in Bailong City."
“…”
"I have already promised to let the Xue family move to the interior."
Nan Yan asked, "Where?"
Zhu Feng said, "Jiangnan is the best, especially Jinling."
"Why Jiangnan? Why is Jinling the best place?"
Zhu Feng glanced at her and said, "I'll tell you about this later."
"good,"
Nan Yan looked at the faint gleam in his eyes and knew that this cunning tiger was secretly planning something again. She was afraid that someone was going to be plotted against and was in trouble.
Nan Yan then asked, "But, for so many years, that old lady Xue has been controlling Xue Yun for the sake of their family business. Now that Xue Yun is gone, what will the emperor do?"
Zhu Feng said, "Since they have moved to the interior, they are naturally my subjects."
“…”
"I will provide them with favorable conditions for doing business in Jiangnan. At the same time, I will issue an edict to allow Old Madam Xue to adopt a boy from her family as her son."
“…”
"With my order, her relatives will no longer dare to covet their family property."
Nan Yan said: "This is really removing the fuel from the fire."
“…”
"Mrs. Xue only cared about her family business and not her daughter. Now, her family business has been saved, and Xue Yun can finally live her own life."
Having said that, she smiled slightly.
"It seems that it is good to be alive."
“…”
"There is always a time when the clouds will part and the moon will appear."
"yes,"
Zhu Feng sighed deeply and said slowly, "She went through such a torment during the time it took to recover her memory. She probably never imagined that she would be able to find Yan Ye again and run away with him."
Nan Yan moved over, leaned on his shoulder, and asked, "When did the emperor discover that she had recovered her memory?"
Zhu Feng said: "It's not a discovery, it's just a guess, or a feeling."
"oh?"
"I had long suspected that she might have lost her memory. By detoxifying me, she was also making plans for herself. Later, you discovered the needle marks on her body, which naturally confirmed this point."
“…”
"Even I am slowly recovering my memory, how could she not think of something?"
“…”
"Besides, every time she sees that expression on my face, how could I not notice it?"
Nan Yan said: "At that time, she had already thought of Brother Ye."
"Even if I don't remember everything, I remember about 70% of it."
Nan Yan sighed softly.
When she thought of the lover in her heart, she found that because Zhu Feng did the same thing as Yan Ye, she confusedly developed empathy for him and was forced by Nan Yan to express her feelings.
One can imagine the torment in her heart.
Nan Yan muttered, "No wonder she refused even at death when I mentioned the title of 'Medical Consort' to her."
