Chapter 1729 It was I who underestimated the enemy
He firmly held the little hand on his chest and said, "Thanks to you."
“…”
Upon hearing this, Nan Yan raised her head in panic and looked at him with tearful eyes. Zhu Feng's face was gloomy, and the corners of his eyes were a little red. He said, "I originally planned to take that road tonight."
“…”
"But, thank goodness you sent me the sachet."
“…”
"Although there is nothing inside, I understand your thoughts."
Having said that, Zhu Feng grabbed her hand and clasped it against his chest, feeling the heart beating strongly beneath his chest. It was extremely vivid, proof of being alive.
He said, "I know that you asked me to open it when the road was divided and there was nothing inside, just to make me think again about the issue of the road division."
“…”
"So in the end, I didn't choose any path."
“…”
"Instead, stay outside and wait for news from them."
In fact, Zhu Feng, who made this choice, was extremely unwilling. During the waiting period, he even wanted to rush in and join the battle countless times.
But, he didn't do that in the end.
But when he heard the sound of retreating troops in the night sky, he felt that his choice was right.
If there was no sachet of Nan Yan tonight.
If Gu Yiyou had not risked his life to report the news tonight.
Any one of these "ifs" would be enough to make tonight the biggest regret of his life. He wanted to win a victory in front of his unborn child, but he didn't expect that he would greatly lose the face of the royal family and even the dignity of being a father.
More likely, the child will lose protection before he is even born.
More likely, Nan Yan will lose her support.
Thinking of this, he felt a chill in his heart.
Nan Yan sobbed and whispered, "I hope the emperor won't blame me."
That was her helpless act after Yang Dai came to find her. After all, even she could see that Zhu Feng had been a little overwhelmed by the good news since he knew she was pregnant. It was just that it was no problem for him to do whatever he wanted in the Captain's Mansion, but on the battlefield, it was a matter of life and death.
fortunately……
fortunately……
Zhu Feng looked down at her: "How could I blame you?"
“…”
"It's my fault for making you worry."
At this time, Nan Yan calmed down a little, and suddenly remembered something, and asked: "Your Majesty, what about the road that Li Lai led?"
“…”
Zhu Feng glanced at her.
Then he said, "Ying Shao brought people over and said it was feasible."
"feasible……?"
Nan Yan repeated these two words with a complicated expression.
This seems to be no surprise.
Ever since she found out that it was Xue Ling who had shot Ye Zheng with a crossbow arrow without showing any emotion, Li Lai's words were worth pondering.
And the path he gave—
It actually works.
Nan Yan thought for a moment and then asked, "Well, did we alert the enemy?"
"No."
Zhu Feng held her in his arms and whispered, "Ying Shao brought the elite imperial guards in and left marks along the way. He also had people secretly memorize the route and was always on guard, fearing that there would be ambushes along the way."
“…”
"But, until we get to the huge rock that Li Lai mentioned, there's nothing there."
“…”
"Later, he entered the gap in the boulder alone and indeed entered the interior of the Thermidor Crescent. He also saw several sand bandits guarding there."
“…”
"He originally wanted to take action, but at that moment, he heard the call-back signal from Yang Dai. He wanted to leave that route open for a future attack on Hot Moon Bay, so he didn't alert the enemy."
Nan Yan breathed a sigh of relief and said softly, "Master Ying is indeed very clever."
Zhu Feng sighed.
He said, "They all performed very well this time. Those in danger were able to evacuate quickly, and those who were not in danger left a way out. Even... your brother was able to show up in time and save so many people."
“…”
"It's me instead."
As he spoke, a cold light flashed in his eyes again.
"It's me who underestimated the enemy!"
I originally thought that even if a small hot moon was able to deal with Ye Zheng with some skills, as long as I could explore the terrain clearly, I could lead my army in and wipe them out in one fell swoop.
Now it seems that this hot crescent moon cannot be underestimated.
The water inside has frozen into ice and cannot be seen through.
The ice has melted, but the water is still deep.
He held Nan Yan in his arms and comforted her gently. The look in his eyes was less fanatical than before, but more calm and profound.

The next day, it was almost dawn.
Wang Baizhi stayed by Gu Yiyou's bedside all night. In the early morning, she could no longer bear it and forced herself to close her eyes.
My head shook and hit the bedpost.
He woke up immediately, rubbed his eyes, and looked down at Gu Yiyou's face. The paleness had faded, but there was a slight redness on his cheeks.
But it was a sickly red.
I reached out and touched it, and it was indeed hot.
With so many wounds on his body and having been exposed to the cold wind for so long, he had lost too much blood and must have caught typhoid fever.
He hurriedly stood up, picked up the teacup on the small table, and drank the tea that had been left overnight and had already gone cold. The temperature of the tea suddenly sobered him up.
The young eunuch Fang Ping, who was working with him, was curled up at the foot of the bed and sleeping soundly.
Wang Baizhi kicked him: "Get up!"
Fang Ping woke up immediately, looked up and saw him, and quickly stood up: "Sir."
Wang Baizhi said, "Go get some paper and pen."
"yes!"
Fang Ping yawned and hurriedly brought over a pen and paper. Wang Baizhi quickly wrote out a prescription and said, "Send someone to get the medicine immediately and boil it for Master Gu. This is to dispel the wind and cold for him."
"yes."
Fang Ping immediately went downstairs to get busy, and soon the medicine was ready and brought up.
After feeding Gu Yiyou, his fever subsided a little after a while.
But still didn't wake up.
Fang Ping stood aside, holding an empty bowl, and whispered, "Sir, when will Master Gu wake up? Can he, can he wake up?"
Wang Baizhi's face was solemn and she said nothing.
At this moment, there was another sound of chaotic footsteps outside, as if someone was walking hurriedly, looking for something.
Wang Baizhi glanced outside, but of course, the door was closed and he couldn't see anything.
Just listening to the noisy sound, I couldn't help but ask: "What's going on outside?"
Fang Ping said, "Looking for Wei Liang."
"Wei Liang?"
"Well," Fang Ping said softly, "I heard that it was Wei Liang who sent a message to the two young masters, asking them to come back. But now, one of them has returned, and there is still no news of the other. It's even possible that—"
“…”
"So, everyone in the mansion is looking for him, and Lord Yang has even sent people outside to look for him."
“…”
"But there's no news at all."
