Chapter 2588 Inquiring about a Person
"That is to say,"
Zhu Feng looked at him with a smile: "King Nanli's troops will have to face the combined forces of my Majesty and mine on the battlefield alone for a long time."
“…”
"During this period of time, Your Majesty should be able to fulfill the agreement between me and Your Majesty, right?"
Monk glanced at him.
After a long while, he smiled and said, "It seems that I really need to ask them to prepare three hundred cups of fine wine as a reward for my confidant."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Feng also laughed.
At this time, the voice of the servants came from outside, and it seemed that they were saying that tents had been prepared for them to rest.
Monk said, "If Your Majesty is truly so inclined, then please rest here for a while. Tonight, we will not return until we are drunk."
Zhu Feng smiled and said, "Unfortunately, I can't do that."
"oh?"
Monk's eyes flickered: "Why?"
Nan Yan couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Anyone with normal knowledge would know that it was extremely inappropriate for Zhu Feng, a high-ranking official, to personally run to the enemy camp. If the court officials were also here, they would rather die under his feet than allow him to take such a risk.
When Zhu Feng arrived and finished discussing things, he naturally wanted to leave as soon as possible.
Wouldn't it be even more dangerous to stay and drink?
However, such words cannot be said openly. After all, saying so would make one appear timid, and as an emperor, one cannot show timidity like this.
Zhu Feng smiled and said, "To be fair, I do want to drink three hundred cups with Your Majesty. Unfortunately, Handongwei is too close to Baihu City, and your King Nanli is no fool. From what I know, he has at least dozens of spies stationed near Handongwei."
“…”
"I can't hide this trip from him."
“…”
"If it's just a one-way trip, he might not be too suspicious, but if it lasts too long, I'm afraid he'll have second thoughts about the actions of me and Your Majesty."
“…”
"It has come to this point, I don't want to fail at the last moment."
After hearing this, Monk nodded slightly.
He said, "Your Majesty, are you leaving now? This trip is too hasty. You didn't even have a cup of tea. It seems that I don't know how to entertain guests."
Zhu Feng smiled and said, "There's no rush to leave now."
“……?”
Hearing this, Nan Yan turned around and looked at him.
Really not leaving?
Zhu Feng said, "I have one more thing I would like to ask Your Majesty."
"oh?"
Monk raised his eyebrows slightly: "What does your majesty want to ask?"
Zhu Feng didn't ask immediately. Instead, he turned to look at Nan Yan and said to her and Ying Shao, "We've prepared a tent for us to rest here. You can go over and rest for a while."
When Nan Yan heard this, her eyes widened.
Does Zhu Feng mean that he won’t let himself know?
Ying Shao didn't think too much about it. He immediately frowned and said, "Your Majesty, I want to follow you."
Zhu Feng said calmly, "I'm fine."
Monk, who was sitting in the front, seemed to understand a little bit. Zhu Feng didn't want anyone else to know what he wanted to ask, not even the imperial concubine, whom he was so close to, and the commander of the imperial guards.
He immediately smiled and said, "Master Mandu, you can take the Imperial Concubine and this gentleman down to rest first. We have prepared wine and food in the camp. You two have come from afar, so you may enjoy some."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Feng smiled faintly at him.
Monk was a knowledgeable and sensible person. He knew that Zhu Feng didn't let anyone else know, so he even asked Mandu to leave.
Nan Yan glanced at him, then looked at Zhu Feng.
She could only whisper, "Then I will wait for the emperor outside."
After saying that, he stood up and walked out with Ying Shao.
When the curtain was lowered, she heard Zhu Feng say in a deep voice, "I want to ask Your Majesty about someone. The King of Beili back then..."
Nan Yan frowned slightly.
At this time, Mandu turned around and said to her, "My Lady, the tent prepared for you is right there."
Nan Yan looked in the direction of his finger and found that it was not far from the king's tent.
It was also a huge tent, smaller than the king's tent. There were not many soldiers guarding it, which was obviously a show of sincerity, indicating that they had no ill intentions.
However, since they were already in the camp of the Neng State, such "sincerity" seemed a bit redundant.
Nan Yan said calmly, "Thank you very much."
After saying that, she looked back again.
Mandu seemed to see a hint of worry in her eyes and said calmly, "Your Highness, don't worry."
"Um?"
"Your Majesty, everything will be fine."
“…”
The "His Majesty the Emperor" he referred to was naturally Zhu Feng.
Nan Yan looked at his eyes, which had aged a lot compared to before. However, there was no calculation and gloominess in these eyes that were common among people in high positions like him. Instead, there was a hint of tenderness.
Nan Yan thought that this bit of tenderness was probably given to Princess Tana who had passed away many years ago.
She took a deep breath and said, "I understand."
“…”
"Thank you, sir."
Mandu said, "If the Queen needs anything else, you can always send someone to call me."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Leaving Nan Yan and Ying Shao behind, they naturally headed towards the tent over there and left Zhu Feng. Ying Shao's only mission was to protect the imperial concubine.
As they walked along, the two looked around.
The soldiers of the Neng State were mostly cavalry, with almost no infantry. The camp was full of horses, the ground was covered with horse manure, and the air was filled with an uncomfortable smell. From a distance, one could see a pair of cavalrymen in the training ground waving their scimitars and fighting, and the surrounding soldiers cheered loudly.
As a warrior, Ying Shao naturally liked these things, and the swordsmanship of the cavalry of the Dian Kingdom was world-famous. When he saw them, his eyes seemed to be pierced by a thread and he couldn't move away.
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Just watch for a while."
Ying Shao immediately said, "No, I want to protect the queen."
Nan Yan laughed and said, "We're already in their camp, and I'm still afraid of this? Besides, the camp is right there, just a few steps away. If anything happens, I'll call you."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the tent.
She had just reached the door when she suddenly saw a figure walking by.
It turned out to be a woman!
What surprised Nan Yan even more was that the figure seemed somewhat familiar!
But even though she was somewhat familiar with it, she still couldn't remember it immediately. But seeing that the other party was about to walk to another road, Nan Yan stepped forward and shouted, "Wait a minute!"
The man stopped and turned around.
What came into view was a beautiful and elegant face, which seemed a little surprised when it saw Nan Yan.
Then, he smiled.
She came over and said, "Noble Concubine Si, long time no see."
A light bulb went off in Nan Yan's mind, and she remembered the other person's name.
"Empress Xiuyun, long time no see."
