Chapter 635 The Emperor picked it up, it was you
Zhu Feng frowned and his expression darkened again.
He said coldly, "Just take it back. Why are you asking so many questions?!"
Nan Yan hurriedly took it and took a closer look. It was indeed her dagger, without any damage. She happily hugged it in her arms. Zhu Feng glared at her again, then turned around and walked forward.
Judging from his appearance, he really wants to take me with him.
Nan Yan held the dagger in her pocket and followed him obediently.
Ye Zheng and Ran Xiaoyu naturally followed them.
Zhu Feng was walking in front alone, ignoring them, but his pace was neither fast nor slow. Even though Nan Yan was still in some pain, she was still able to keep up. She was just a little anxious when she saw the back of his head ignoring them.
When I turned around, I saw Ye Zheng walking beside me with a half-smile on his face.
So he beckoned him over and whispered, "What's going on?"
“…”
"How did the Emperor retrieve the dagger?"
Ye Zheng glanced at her and said, "What do you mean by 'picked up'? The one the emperor picked up was you."
"Why?"
"Yesterday, after you cut the rope, you were hit by a huge wave and hit the wall. You passed out and were almost swept off the boat by the current."
“…”
"It was the Emperor who pounced on you and grabbed your hand."
Nan Yan was stunned.
She subconsciously looked down at her wrist, and sure enough, there was another deep bruise on her right wrist.
Before, I only saw them all over his body and thought they were caused by collisions, but now after hearing what Ye Zheng said, I know that they were actually caught by Zhu Feng.
Although Ye Zheng was smiling playfully, he gradually became serious at this time.
He said: "At that time, you were hanging outside the fence. The emperor could only hold you with one hand and the fence with the other hand to prevent himself from being pulled down."
“…”
"But his hands—"
Speaking of this, Ye Zheng's brows furrowed as if he had thought of some tragic situation.
Nan Yan hurriedly asked, "What happened to his hand?"
Ye Zheng glanced at her, then looked at the back of Zhu Feng who was walking in front of him, and sighed, saying, "He's hurt."
I'm hurt...
Nan Yan vaguely remembered that before she cut the rope, Zhu Feng was indeed injured while trying to grab the broken reins at the other end.
So, he used his injured hand to hold on to himself.
Ye Zheng continued, "This dagger has been held in your hand the entire time. Even though you lost consciousness, the Emperor held your hand tightly and never let go."
“…”
"Until later, when everyone rushed over to help pull you up, the sword never fell."
“…”
"It's just that the emperor picked you up."
Nan Yan took a deep breath.
Yesterday, she was completely unconscious and had no idea what kind of danger she was in.
Thinking about it now, I feel cold all over.
If it weren't for Zhu Feng, I would probably have been buried at the bottom of the lake.
But why didn't he say a word to me?
Thinking of this, she looked at the tall figure in front of her again. Ye Zheng sighed and said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor treats you so well, so please stop being upset with him."
Nan Yan muttered, "Who is having a quarrel with him?"
But as he spoke, the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled up.
Although the grandmother's whereabouts are still unknown, and they are stranded on a "desert island", and even the bruises on their bodies are aching... but a sense of sweetness wells up in their hearts.
She took a few quick steps and came to Zhu Feng's side.
Of course Zhu Feng also heard her footsteps, but he just glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and ignored her.
Nan Yan tilted her head and looked at him cautiously: "Your Majesty."
“…”
"Does your hand still hurt?"
"snort."
Nan Yan turned around and glanced at Ye Zheng, meaning: You see, I'm not the one who's having a quarrel with him.
It was obvious that Zhu Feng was being awkward with himself.
For fear of provoking him again, Nan Yan could only shut her mouth, but followed closely beside him. Ye Zheng and Ran Xiaoyu followed behind them, and the four of them continued to move forward.
After walking along the river beach for a while, they gradually figured out the shape of the island.
The island is not big, but it is clearly divided into two parts. It seems to be formed by two high mountains rising from the bottom of the lake, and there is a flat river beach at the foot of the mountains.
There is a very narrow road between the two mountains.
It was almost flooded by the lake.
It can be imagined that when the water rises at night, this place will be submerged, leaving only two peaks.
Zhu Feng stood in the middle of the narrow road, looking at the hillsides on both sides, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he was deep in thought. After a while, he suddenly said, "What do you think this island looks like?"
Like what?
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
Ye Zheng and Ran Xiaoyu looked at each other, not knowing what he meant.
Aren’t they here to check if the island is uninhabited, or in other words, if there is any danger?
Why did Zhu Feng suddenly ask such a strange question?
Nan Yan, on the other hand, thought for a moment and said softly, "This island looks like a gourd."
The two mountains are like the two bodies of a gourd, one big and one small.
The riverbank where they had run aground clearly protruded into the lake, like the mouth of a gourd.
Zhu Feng nodded slightly.
He murmured, "This island is Huludao."
“…”
When Nan Yan heard this, she frowned.
He said this as if he had known Huludao for a long time, but did not know its exact location. It was only after coming here that he discovered that the shape of this island was the same as the Huludao he knew.
So, a judgment was made.
But how could he know?
Isn’t this Xingluo Lake marked on the map?
Nan Yan asked in surprise: "Your Majesty?"
Zhu Feng frowned, glanced around, then turned back to look at her. After a moment of silence, he said, "Let's go back first."
“…”
"Let's talk about it when we get back."
"yes."
Everyone listened to him and walked back along the riverbank.
Along the way, Zhu Feng didn't say another word, but Nan Yan could clearly see that his brows were furrowed and there was a hint of uncertainty in his eyes.
Zhu Feng had never been like this before.
Even when he encountered the terrible Guanyin storm, he never had such an expression.
She could only follow him closely.
Soon, they returned to the riverbank where they had just run aground. As they approached, they could still see the smoke from the campfire, but—
This river beach is very quiet.
There was not even a sound.
Although many of them came out to explore the island, some people were left here. How come there was no sound at all?
Ye Zheng felt something was wrong, so he quickened his pace and ran over. When he took a look, he was stunned.
There is no one on this riverbank!
