Chapter 2313: Fighting Will, Provoked by the Opponent
Zhu Feng said: "Maybe, it's more than just instructions."
“…”
"Last time, they had already infiltrated the Sand Bandits' forces."
When those people, or rather, that mysterious person, were mentioned, Nan Yan's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she recalled the question that Ran Xiaoyu asked her that day.
When he looked up at Zhu Feng, his expression became a little complicated.
Zhu Feng was so focused on his own thoughts that he didn't notice her expression. He continued, "This group of people, or rather, this person, has been constantly causing trouble and creating various crises for me."
“…”
"He is very familiar with the affairs of the court and many things happening in the world, and he also possesses considerable power."
“…”
Nan Yan's breath became lighter. Although Zhu Feng did not show any murderous intent or anger, as the emperor, he would definitely want to crush anyone who caused him problems.
She whispered, "So, the emperor wants to send troops to suppress it?"
"Suppression? No."
Zhu Feng was very calm and said slowly, "Before, in Shazhouwei, only a military advisor appeared. This person has not revealed his whereabouts until now."
“…”
"It's not the time to send troops to suppress it yet."
“…”
"He won't reveal his whereabouts so easily, so now is not the time for a showdown."
Having said that, he narrowed his eyes slightly.
A gleam of light flashed in those bright tiger eyes.
Said: "I am a little looking forward to seeing what kind of problems he will give me this time."
When Nan Yan heard this, she was stunned.
But immediately, I understood.
Zhu Feng's fighting spirit was aroused by the opponent.
Knowing that there is someone doing bad things to him behind his back, and even stirring up a lot of chaos, if he were an ordinary person, or the Zhu Feng of the past, he would definitely be furious and want to kill the other person as soon as possible.
But now, Zhu Feng is not in a hurry anymore.
after all--
The turmoil that man created in Jinling ultimately resulted in Zhu Feng completing the rituals at Da Ci'en Temple, thus proving the legitimacy of his ascension to the throne before the eyes of the world.
That person colluded with the Sha bandits in Shazhouwei to create chaos. In the end, Zhu Feng wiped out the Sha bandits entrenched in Hot Moon Bay, consolidated Shazhouwei's border defense in the northwest, and successfully held talks with the special envoy of the Parthian Empire.
Every step seems difficult.
But, he won.
Now, it’s the chaos caused by the mulberry farmers again.
Perhaps, this is another major crisis caused by that person, which may endanger the court, but -
It is also possible that this will be an opportunity to resolve the chaos.
Although Nan Yan didn't fully understand the complicated meaning in his mind, she felt one thing.
"Your Majesty, do you still intend to give the King of Wei a chance?"
"Um."
Zhu Feng nodded and continued, "But, the time I give him won't be too long."
“…”
"After all, if someone interferes, the chaos caused by the mulberry farmers will become more and more serious. If it develops to a point where it becomes difficult to suppress it even by sending troops, then that will just play into their hands."
Nan Yan nodded and said, "I understand."
Zhu Feng also nodded.
Just at this moment, Xinping ran back from outside holding the bamboo ball high.
This time, Zhu Fengzhi threw the bamboo ball into the imperial garden, where it landed in a bunch of dead branches. Xinping went in and searched for it for a long time before finding it. He was so tired that he couldn't jump anymore.
He stuffed the ball into Zhu Feng's hands and threw himself into his arms.
He was panting heavily.
"I'm so tired, I'm so tired."
Nan Yan, who was listening, couldn't help laughing and said, "Serves you right."
“…”
"I thought you really wouldn't get tired. Now that you've met your father, I think you know how powerful he is."
Xinping wrinkled her nose at her and buried her face in Zhu Feng's arms.
Zhu Feng also hugged her, laughing as he said to Nan Yan, "Spend some time taking care of her these few days, so Cheng Xuan can have some peace and quiet."
Nan Yan hurriedly said, "Yes."
When Xinping heard this, he raised his head and said, "Father, can't I go play with my brother?"
Zhu Feng looked down at her, stroking her slightly cold face with his warm palms, and said softly, "Brother is busy with important things recently. Be good and don't disturb him."
“…”
"When we're done, let your brother—your father and your mother—take you out for some fun, okay?"
When Xinping heard this, his eyes lit up.
He said loudly: "Father, keep your word!"
Zhu Feng laughed and said, "My word is my bond. How could I lie to you?"
Xinping jumped and danced with joy, and finally climbed onto his knees, hugged his neck, and kissed him hard on the face.
Seeing the affection between the father and daughter, Nan Yan also laughed.
Zhu Feng stayed here until very late before leaving.
This was one of the rare times he relaxed. Before leaving, he gave each of his servants a gold ingot as a reward, asking them to serve him well. Everyone was grateful. When Zhu Feng left, Ruoshui held the gold ingot in both hands, surprised and delighted. She stared at it with wide eyes, looking left and right for a long time before saying to Ran Xiaoyu, "Sister Xiaoyu, this is made of gold?"
Ran Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Of course."
"This, this is gold."
She quickly took it and rubbed it on her body, then weighed it again. It was very heavy and felt very heavy.
He said excitedly: "It's the first time for me to see such a big piece of gold."
“…”
"Is this the Emperor's reward to me?"
Nan Yan sat back on the couch, holding Xin Ping who was tired from playing. She nestled in her arms, nodding her head at the sleepy Xin Ping, and said with a smile, "It's a reward for you."
Ran Xiaoyu glanced at her from the side and said, "You really haven't seen the world."
“…”
"If you serve the Empress for a long time, you will understand that the Emperor often rewards you - as long as you do your job well."
Ruoshui nodded seriously.
Then he said, "You don't know, this thing is very valuable."
“…”
When everyone heard her "silly words", they just looked at each other, trying not to laugh and not saying a word.
Ruoshui continued, "If you were in one of those small villages, a small gold ingot like this could probably buy several looms."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "You know again?"
Ruoshui said seriously, "When I followed my master through Feng'an County, I heard those people say that."
"oh?"
After hearing this, Nan Yan was about to ask again, but at this moment, Nian Qiu walked in from outside.
Nan Yan was also worried that she was wronged and had been thinking about her in her heart. When she saw her come back, she immediately said, "Where have you been, girl?"
