Chapter 3495 Yan State mobilized troops!
After the two of them said those words the night before, Nan Yan had been on edge, as if she would stay up all night waiting for news from Xiahou Jiu. In the end, she was scolded by Zhu Feng and went to bed mumbling.
As a result, as soon as I got into bed, I fell into a deep sleep in a short while.
In the morning, she suddenly felt a movement beside her. She was alert and sat up in bed. This startled Zhu Feng, who had carefully stood up. He turned around and looked at her with a frown: "What are you doing?"
"emperor……"
Nan Yan looked at him with wide eyes.
It was still dark at this time and it was foggy outside, but Zhu Feng could be seen in the dim light. He was wearing pajamas and had just gotten up.
Nan Yan whispered, "What is the emperor doing?"
Zhu Feng asked, "Why do you care what I do?"
After saying that, he got out of bed and put on some clothes.
Nan Yan sat on the bed for a moment, regaining some consciousness. She got out of bed, but first she went to the window and looked out. It was only around 11:00 AM, and the sky was still dark, with only a faint gray glow in the distance. She hurried back to Zhu Feng and asked anxiously, "How did I fall asleep? Any news from yesterday?"
Zhu Feng said as he put on his clothes, "You're so careful, how could you not hear any news?"
Nan Yan frowned when she heard that.
"No?"
Xiahou Jiu didn't send anyone over all night.
Did he really not have this intention, or—
Nan Yan felt a wave of confusion. Whatever the reason, as long as there was no news from Xiahou Jiu, their situation would be troublesome. Zhu Feng, after struggling with his belt for a while, grew annoyed and reached out to poke her. Nan Yan immediately came to her senses and hurried over to help him dress. As she tied his belt, she asked softly, "Is there really no movement at all?"
Zhu Feng shook his shoulders to loosen up his stiff muscles from the night's sleep, then slowly said, "I woke up once during the night and asked, but there was no sound at the city gate."
Nan Yan frowned, but quickly put the coat on him and took the waist belt to tie it.
At this time, the people outside also heard the noise inside. Ruoshui immediately brought people in with basins of water and towels to help the two of them wash up. After Zhu Feng finished washing up, breakfast was placed on the table. Just like before, it was just some light porridge and side dishes. Zhu Feng sat down, took the bowl and drank half a bowl first.
In recent years, it is rare to see him eat with such big mouthfuls.
Generally speaking, in this situation, either he is in a good mood, or there is something very important coming up that will require him to put in a lot of effort.
Nan Yan also hurriedly sat down and picked up a few dishes to go with his porridge.
Although they were supposed to avoid talking while eating and sleeping, they'd played around a lot during their meals and sleep, but this breakfast was quieter than usual, even a little dull. Zhu Feng finished his bowl of porridge and looked down. Nan Yan was holding the bowl absent-mindedly, stirring the porridge unconsciously with a spoon.
Zhu Feng said, "Eat it quickly if you want to. Eating it cold will hurt your stomach."
"oh oh."
Nan Yan hurriedly took a sip from the bowl, but she still couldn't let it go. She looked up at Zhu Feng and said, "There's been no news all night. What exactly is Xiahou Jiu planning?"
Zhu Feng said, "It doesn't matter what he planned now. What matters is that we have to make a plan."
Nan Yan frowned: "We——"
Zhu Feng put down his bowl and chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and prepared to leave. Nan Yan hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, are you really going to mobilize the troops?"
Zhu Feng turned around and glanced at her, then said solemnly, "Whether we fight or not, we can't be unprepared."
After saying that, he walked out.
Nan Yan's heart flew away with him, but she couldn't really follow him. She could only sit back at the table in frustration. Ruoshui and Aunt Tongyun looked at each other. They both clearly sensed that something had changed, but as servants, they didn't dare to say anything and could only wait quietly.
In less than a quarter of an hour, an imperial decree was issued from the study in the South Courtyard.
Soon, the news reached the military camp outside the city.
Almost simultaneously, soldiers patrolling the border reported the situation back to Doubei Town. Xiahou Jiu, however, hadn't slept all night. His bloodshot eyes stared at the rising sun. The glare nearly blinded him, yet he still patiently asked, "No news yet?"
Fan Chenggong stayed up all night just like him.
At this time, his expression was a little gray and he shook his head.
The people he sent out had no news at all throughout the entire night.
Even if he didn't bring back the attitude of the Emperor of Yan State, at least he should have come back. But now it's dawn and there's not even a trace of him.
This is so unusual.
At this moment, the military advisor Ruan Wentong, who had been sitting in silence on a chair nearby all night, slowly stood up and walked over, saying in a deep voice, "Don't tell me there was an accident."
"Accident?"
Xiahou Jiu and Fan Chenggong looked at each other, and their expressions were more solemn than before, with a hint of panic.
You know, betraying one's master and stealing requires caution, so they sent their confidants to rush to Yongzhou City under the cover of night. If something unexpected really happened, if their plan became known to others -
That would be a catastrophic disaster!
Just thinking about this, cold sweat broke out on Xiahou Jiu's forehead.
He said, "Do you want to send someone to find out?"
Ruan Wendong said hurriedly: "General, this won't work. What if something unexpected really happens and our plan is leaked? What if Chen Bi Ri finds out? Then if we move here, it will give them more leverage. At this time, we must hold steady!"
Xiahou Jiu gritted his teeth and said, "What's going on with Zhu Feng? If he received the message from this general, why hasn't he made any move? If he didn't, he should at least come back! It can't be possible, it can't be possible that they've detained him!"
Fan Chenggong said, "What's the point of them detaining our people?"
Another deputy general, Pan Shixiong, suddenly said, "The Yan people are not trying to win over Chen Bi Ri, are they?"
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
But Ruan Wendong immediately said, "That's impossible! Chen Bi Ri has always been at odds with the Yan people. This time it was because of him that such a big incident happened. How could the Yan people want to win him over?"
Pan Shixiong said: "But now, His Majesty is in his hands."
“…”
"Didn't the military advisor say before that we can use the emperor to control the princes? Now, to the people of Yan, I'm afraid Chen Bi Ri is more valuable than us!"
Xiahou Jiu gritted his teeth and said, "Don't let your imagination run wild. There's no news from over there yet. We can't lose our composure!"
Just then, a soldier ran in.
"General!"
Xiahou Jiu hurriedly asked, "What's going on? Any news?"
The soldier's face turned pale and he gasped, "General, Yan Country has mobilized troops!"
