Chapter 704: Great Wall Trench
Yeah, where to go next?
She still remembered last night, maybe last night, Zhu Feng told her that she should go back with him after eating.
Now, is it time to go back?
The emotion rising in my heart was clearly saying "no".
When the people around heard this, the atmosphere became different.
Before in the deserted city, they were trapped in the battle formation and had to face the same difficulties. Of course, they didn't have to, and couldn't, fight and kill. But now, under the broad daylight, people's camps, positions, loves and hates were suddenly highlighted.
The two emperors faced each other like this——
The atmosphere was stagnant for a moment.
But before anyone could say anything, Monk said, "Let's go out first."
One sentence made everyone feel a little more lively again.
certainly.
Everyone was trapped here for a whole night. Although it was only one night, this experience made people feel that the night was a year. After finally reaching the city gate, in order to avoid any more trouble, it was better to rush out first.
However, the city gate was blocked by rubble and was no longer the same as before.
They could only ride one horse at a time, and it took a while before everyone could leave the deserted city.
As soon as you step outside, it's like two completely different worlds.
Outside was a vast expanse of grassland, and the view suddenly became wider. Compared to just now when there were collapsed earth walls everywhere, giving people a very depressing feeling, now it seemed as if the world was vast.
Some people couldn't help but cheer.
Everyone cheered and galloped on their horses, running against the wind for a long time before slowly stopping.
Zhu Feng turned around and took another look.
Although this city has been exposed to the sun, there is still a lot of haze inside.
That black shadow, or rather, the man in black, disappeared in a flash. Why didn't he attack them again?
Judging from the situation at the time, the other party should have had the upper hand.
But he suddenly left.
He didn't even fight with himself.
The other party’s purpose, of course, is to prevent Nan Yan from determining blood relationship, but is this matter really that important?
Or in other words, is the impact on some people that great?
It was even so serious that they did not hesitate to take action and become hostile to the Emperor of Dian.
Thinking of this, he turned to look at Nan Yan.
After the ordeal of the night, the young woman's face was still a little pale. She sat on the horse's back, holding Ran Xiaoyu in her arms, but she looked thoughtful.
I don’t know what he is thinking.
Thinking of what they had just said before they found the "darkness under the lamp", Zhu Feng couldn't help but feel heavy in his heart again.
At this time, the sound of flowing water came from the front. Looking up, they saw that they had run to a small river outside the city.
Everyone had been crawling around in the city all night and was already covered in mud, especially Ran Xiaoyu, so they settled down and washed themselves first.
Nan Yan immediately took Xiaoyu to the river to wash her face. Muddy water flowed through Xiaoyu's fingers, and soon a pretty baby face was revealed.
But the tiredness on my face cannot be washed away.
Nan Yan took out her handkerchief, gently wiped her face, and said, "Are you feeling better?"
Ran Xiaoyu said: "I'm fine at all."
“…”
"But you, how were you after you went in? Did you get hurt?"
“…”
"What happened in there?"
Nan Yan roughly told her what happened last night. Ran Xiaoyu listened with a frown on her face, biting her lower lip and saying nothing.
After a while, everyone had cleaned up and felt much more energetic.
Then, Nan Yan saw that Arslan seemed to give orders to his subordinates. Several people immediately took their swords, mounted their horses and galloped away, disappearing out of sight.
Monk walked over and asked: "What are you going to do?"
Arslan said, "I'll ask them to search to see if there's anyone nearby."
It turned out that he still wanted to catch the man in black.
Nan Yan listened and felt that this matter might not be so easy. The man in black took advantage of the darkness under the lamp to hide under their noses for so long. Zhu Feng finally found him. He would rather give up the formation and leave. How could he be caught by them so easily?
Sure enough, they waited by the river for half an hour, and when those people came back, they found nothing.
Moreover, because they were worried about what else was inside the deserted city, they were unable to go in.
The clue was cut off just like that.
Now, I can only temporarily put aside what happened in the deserted city and the man in black. Right now——
Nan Yan looked around.
Everyone has washed what needs to be washed and eaten what needs to be eaten.
Next.
The troops sent out by Zhu Feng also came back, and of course the news they brought back was the same, no results, so everyone stood up and led their horses.
The two groups of people suddenly stood on both sides clearly.
Nan Yan suddenly felt a little worried.
Last night, when they met, they almost came to blows. If I hadn't fainted from hunger at the time—
You can't faint from hunger again now, right?
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw Monk walking over here, his usual smile still hanging on the corner of his mouth. He said softly, "I didn't expect that Your Majesty would actually come here in person."
Zhu Feng said in a deep voice, "When you kidnapped my concubine, you should have expected this day to come."
“…”
"There are some more that you should think about."
Monk smiled and said, "But we only invited Concubine Si to come to the grassland as a guest. With friendly relations between our two countries, isn't this something that should be done naturally?"
“…”
"Besides—"
His voice sank slightly: "Your Highness, this trip also intends to visit relatives."
Zhu Feng's face darkened again.
"Your Majesty knew about this matter earlier than we did. He should also understand that it is very important for a person to recognize his ancestors and return to his roots while living in this world."
“…”
"Besides, she is the daughter of our Princess of Dian."
“…”
"He's a royal relative."
Zhu Feng turned around and looked at Nan Yan with a complicated expression.
Even Ran Xiaoyu beside her had a heavy expression and looked at Nan Yan with wide eyes.
When Nan Yan heard these words, she felt conflicted and indescribably depressed. She whispered, "No, you haven't made up your mind yet?"
Monk turned to look at her and said gently, "We'll know for sure soon."
"soon?"
"That's right," he said. "Last night, the wizard taught me how to determine blood relationship. Now, as long as you follow me, your life story will soon be revealed to the world."
"Leave? Where to?"
"Go to a place where your bloodline can be determined."
"Where?"
Monk looked at her, then slowly turned his head to look at Zhu Feng beside him. He leaned forward slightly and slowly uttered three words from his lips -
"The Great Wall Moat."
