Chapter 3292 The situation is more complicated
Zhu Feng said, "Indeed, my son has fallen into his hands, and now a war between him and me is inevitable. At this time, he should immediately find a way to let me know, or even send someone to threaten me directly."
Nan Yan said: "But he didn't. We can't find Cheng Jun, and there is no news!"
Zhu Feng nodded: "Have you ever thought about why?"
“…”
Nan Yan was silent for a long time, thinking for a long time. Finally, Zhu Feng felt the frail body in his arms tremble violently, as if he had finally figured something out. She raised her head and looked at Zhu Feng, whispering, "He, he doesn't know that the person he caught was Cheng Jun?"
Zhu Feng said: "Not bad!"
“……!”
Nan Yan took a sharp breath.
This was something she hadn't expected, but——
She asked uncertainly, "Is this possible?"
Hearing her question, Zhu Feng thought for a moment and said, "Our son—although that boy may be mischievous, he's not stupid. You should know this."
Nan Yan frowned and nodded slightly.
Zhu Feng's words were not groundless. Just like her previous guess about how Zhu Feng induced Arslan to transfer all the troops out of Baihu City, she had never thought of it, but Cheng Jun said it so easily, as if he had some combat wisdom that was not taught to him by adults, but had been flowing in his blood and existed in his body since he was born.
Zhu Feng continued, "He also knows that I'm at war with the people of Dian. If he were captured by them, do you think he would honestly admit that he is His Royal Highness the King of Han of Yan?"
“…”
"As long as he doesn't say anything, things will be easy. He went out alone, without any followers. Who could possibly associate this little kid with His Royal Highness the King of Han of Yan Country?"
“…”
"If he doesn't tell, no one will know."
Nan Yan took a deep breath and said, "Yes, that's right."
Zhu Feng continued, "So at this time, I won't let Chen Zixiao and the others send anyone to look for him anymore."
“…”
"If we send people out, it will only arouse suspicion. Arslan is not stupid. If he finds out that Handongwei has sent so many people to look for a child, given his character, he will probably start to doubt Cheng Jun's identity."
“…”
"So now, we can't move anymore."
Nan Yan felt cold all over and shivered suddenly.
Only then did she realize how big a mistake she had almost made in her impulsiveness. Fortunately, Zhu Feng remained calm, otherwise - she couldn't even imagine what would have happened.
She looked up at Zhu Feng and said softly, "Your Majesty, I, I just—"
She didn't know what to say, so she stood up from Zhu Feng's arms and knelt down in front of him: "Your Majesty, I admit my guilt."
She was so impulsive just now that she had no respect or manners in front of the emperor. If Zhu Feng really wanted to make a fuss about it, she would be beheaded without a doubt.
Zhu Feng knew she had come to her senses, so he just sighed and pulled her up: "Okay."
Nan Yan's face turned pale, full of guilt: "I just now really -"
"I know,"
Zhu Feng held her in his arms, gently stroking her back with one large hand, and said in a deep voice, "I know you miss your son so much, but you must not do this again in the future. I am your husband, but I am also the emperor. If you do this again, no matter why, I will not let you off easily."
Nan Yan's eyes were red and she responded softly.
Zhu Feng felt sorry for her after all, and as a parent, they didn't have so many other emotions worth their effort to process at this time.
It was not until this time that Nan Yan felt that the huge stone pressing on her heart seemed to loosen a little, allowing her to finally breathe and her heartbeat. However, this big stone was not completely removed. After all, if Cheng Jun had been caught by Arslan, he was still in danger and his life might be in danger at any time.
Therefore, Nan Yan still looked at Zhu Feng with some trembling: "Your Majesty, what should we do next?"
Zhu Feng looked down at her, was silent for a moment, and then said, "It's the same as before, as if nothing happened to him at all."
Nan Yan's breathing trembled again.
She whispered, "Your Majesty, what you mean is that we must prepare for war and fight when we need to?"
Zhu Feng said: "Yes."
Nan Yan's voice trembled even more violently, and she said, "What if, what if——"
Zhu Feng said in a deep voice, "Didn't I tell you that if there's anything unusual on our side, it will make Arslan suspicious. So, we have to follow the procedures and do what needs to be done. Only in this way will Arslan not be suspicious and Cheng Jun will be safe."
“…”
Nan Yan was silent for a long time, then took a deep breath and said, "I understand."
Seeing her pale face, Zhu Feng felt a little heavy in his heart.
He knew that this was too difficult for a mother, but now, they had no other choice. If little Chengjun could survive this disaster, he would definitely teach that boy a lesson as the price for making his parents worry so much.
Zhu Feng said, "Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to rescue that kid."
Nan Yan leaned in his arms and nodded gently.
Zhu Feng was silent for a moment, then continued, "Actually, right now, the person I'm most worried about isn't him."
"Not him?"
Nan Yan was stunned for a moment, then looked up at him: "Who else is the emperor worried about?"
Zhu Feng said, "Wen Bieyu."
“……!”
Nan Yan suddenly opened her eyes wide and immediately came to her senses.
By the way, the people below said that Wen Bieyu was looking for the King of Han everywhere in the Duwei Mansion in the afternoon, and then he went to the stable to get his horse and left Handongwei, obviously to look for Zhu Chengjun. The people sent by Zhu Feng came back, but they also couldn't find his whereabouts.
Nan Yan thought for a moment and asked, "Has he also been captured by Arslan now?"
Zhu Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "He and Cheng Jun are one in front and one behind, so the situation is difficult to say. If they are both arrested, it's fine. At least the two of them can still look after each other. But if he hasn't been arrested yet, and the people sent by Chen Zixiao haven't found him, then there is only one possibility."
"What's possible?"
Nan Yan had just asked this question when she suddenly realized something. She sat up from Zhu Feng's arms and said in surprise, "The emperor means that he might go alone to rescue Cheng Jun?"
Zhu Feng let out a deep breath: "This is what I am most worried about."
“…”
"If he really wants to go—he's still young, and together with Cheng Jun, they're just two kids who haven't experienced much, so the situation will be more complicated."
