Chapter 2594 What does he want to hint to Monk?
Zhu Feng's expression froze: "Who are you talking about?"
Nan Yan said word by word: "Xue-Yun!"
“…”
Zhu Feng took a deep breath, and the water in the bowl in his hand began to ripple slightly, and his brows furrowed.
Nan Yan said, "When I heard her ask this, I couldn't believe it either."
“…”
"She is Monk's concubine, and from what she said, she has never been to Bailong City, nor has she had any contact with the Xue family."
“…”
"But how did she know Xue Yun?"
“…”
"Of course, it's not surprising that she knows. The Xue family is a powerful family in Bailong City. I'm afraid that the Kingdom of Neng knows a lot about them. But even if she knows about them, why would she, as a concubine, ask about Xue Yun?"
Zhu Feng was silent for a while, then suddenly asked, "Is she the person King Beili sent to Monk?"
"Um?"
Hearing him ask this, Nan Yan was a little confused.
Didn't he already know this? Why was he asking again?
But she still said seriously: "Yes."
“…”
"Back then, I met her when Arslan and his men kidnapped me and took me to the imperial palace in Kulun City. At that time, she was already by Monk's side, but she wasn't very favored at that time."
“…”
"Now that she can follow Monk to the battlefield, she is obviously considered a favored concubine."
“…”
"Oh, and I'm pregnant."
Hearing this, Zhu Feng seemed to think about it again, and then said, "You just said that from her expression, it seems that she doesn't plan to tell Monk about her pregnancy?"
"yes."
“…”
Zhu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly.
Seeing him like this, Nan Yan hurriedly asked, "Does the emperor know anything? What's going on?"
Zhu Feng glanced at her.
Said: "What's going on?"
Nan Yan was anxious and immediately said, "Why is Xiu Yun asking about Xue Yun? Is there any connection between the Kingdom of Dan and Xue Yun? You must know something. I can tell by the look on your face."
Zhu Feng pursed his lips slightly and said, "How can I know?"
“…”
"Xiu Yun and Xue Yun, the affairs between these two women, do you think I would know?"
Nan Yan glanced at him, then lowered her head and thought for a long time.
Xiu Yun...Xue Yun...
Two women indeed.
If two women are connected, besides blood ties, friendship, etc., there is another possibility, which is because of a man.
But, is this man Monk?
What is the relationship between him and Xue Yun?
Seeing that Nan Yan was becoming increasingly absorbed in the idea and didn't even bother to drink the water in her hand, Zhu Feng smiled and shook his head, then patted the back of her hand, causing the water in the bowl in her hand to sway.
"Don't think too much about this matter, drink some hot water first."
"oh."
Nan Yan could see that Zhu Feng must have thought of something just now.
However, judging from the flicker in his eyes, he himself might not be sure, so he did not intend to say it out loud.
In that case, she didn't ask any more questions.
The most important thing now is the battle in Baihu City. No matter what, as long as it does not affect the major events on the surface, everything can be put aside for now.
Just, really curious.
It felt like there was a rat scratching my heart, making me feel very anxious.
Nan Yan was just thinking that since Xue Yun had told her before she left that she had something to say to her, she could try to sound out her opinion after she returned.
She held the bowl again and took a sip of water.
After a while, the personal guards below prepared dinner, which was just some ordinary food, but neither of them thought it was disgusting. They had been jolted on horseback for so long and their nerves were tense in the enemy camp, so they were already hungry by now.
Like Zhu Feng, Nan Yan finished the dinner that was delivered to her in just a few bites.
At this time, it was just getting dark.
Because she had eaten a little too much and her stomach felt bloated, Zhu Feng took her for a walk around the camp to help digest the food. Naturally, Ying Shao and his men followed from a distance.
The two people walked slowly, stepping on the thick grass as if they were walking on carpet.
Nan Yan suddenly asked, "Your Majesty, after the Zizhi Rebellion, what happened to Yan and Qi?"
"Um?"
Zhu Feng was originally thinking about something, but when he heard her question, he turned to look at her.
Nan Yan said, "When the Emperor was discussing this with Monk today, I was a little confused, but I held it in and didn't ask."
Zhu Feng laughed and said, "Do you know about the Zizhi Rebellion?"
Nan Yan said, "When I was little, my brothers' teacher told me that during the Warring States Period, King Kuai of Yan abdicated the throne to Prime Minister Zizhi in order to show off his benevolence. This triggered a great chaos in Yan State, and both King Kuai and Zizhi died in the war. As a result, Yan State was almost destroyed, but I don't know what this had to do with Qi State."
Zhu Feng smiled and said, "It's not easy for you to know all this."
As he walked forward, holding Nan Yan's hand, he slowly said, "Yan State was in chaos. Qi and Zhongshan both wanted to annex Yan State. Yan State was almost destroyed."
"almost?"
"Yes, almost. But during the Warring States period, the interests of various nations were intertwined. Some welcomed the demise of a great power, while others did not. Among those who did not welcome the demise of Yan was Zhao. King Wuling of Zhao retrieved Prince Zhi, who had been held hostage in Han, and enthroned him as King Zhao of Yan."
“…”
"After King Zhao of Yan ascended the throne, he revived the State of Yan and ordered General Yue Yi to unite five states to attack Qi, capturing over seventy Qi cities."
“…”
"The State of Qi is almost destroyed."
Nan Yan opened her eyes wide when she heard this.
He hurriedly asked, "So, what happened next?"
Zhu Feng glanced down at her and smiled as he said, "At that time, the only two cities left in Qi were Jimo and Ju. However, at this critical moment for the survival of the nation, the Qi army and its people united and rose up to resist. Even a brave man like Yue Yi could not defeat them."
“…”
"In addition, after King Hui of Yan ascended the throne, he was worried that Le Yi would raise his own army and establish his own regime, so he changed the commander in the middle of a battle. This gave Qi a glimmer of hope."
“…”
Nan Yan thought seriously for a moment, then looked at Zhu Feng with a twinkling gaze and said, "When the Emperor mentioned this to Monk, what was he trying to hint at?"
Zhu Feng glanced at her and raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
He said, "Do you think it is right or wrong for me to walk between the two forces this time?"
Nan Yan immediately said, "Of course it's right."
“…”
"Taking advantage of their internal strife to profit is like conquering the enemy without fighting. It's the best strategy."
Zhu Feng nodded and continued, "Then how much profit do you think I should take?"
Hearing this, Nan Yan became quiet again.
Everyone knows that if you want to seize the interests of an enemy country, the more the better.
But since Zhu Feng asked this, the answer is obviously not necessarily.
