Chapter 3371: The troops are sent out without justice and the army is sent out without reason
At this moment, a large group of people on the other side also rushed out from the wind and sand and rushed directly to Princess Baoyin. When she saw the newcomers, Princess Baoyin was overjoyed.
"Uncle Mandu!"
The person who came was none other than Mandu, an important official of the Neng State.
At this moment, he was riding on a horse, and he had obviously traveled a long way. When he saw the two sides confronting each other and Hu and Lu's bodies lying in a pool of blood, he immediately understood what was going on and dismounted.
"Uncle Mandu, they—"
Princess Baoyin walked to his side eagerly and was about to say something, but Mandu raised his hand to stop her from continuing.
He took a step forward and saw Zhu Feng, who was lying unconscious in Nan Yan's arms, through the crowd, and frowned.
When Nan Yan saw him, her heart skipped a beat.
She had dealt with this man more than once. Although she did not know this old minister of the Neng Kingdom very well, she remembered one thing very clearly. When she was kidnapped to Kulun City, Monk told her that Mandu had the opportunity to become the son-in-law of Princess Tana.
Of course, it's just a chance.
Later, Princess Tana's life became entangled with Emperor Yugao, and it could almost be said that she had nothing to do with him anymore.
Despite this, Keren's feelings cannot be easily broken off. Judging from his attitude towards Nan Yan after he mistakenly thought she was Princess Tana's daughter, and the fact that he never married, he has never been able to forget Princess Tana.
So he came here at this time——
Thinking of this, Nan Yan's mind had turned a thousand times.
She thought for a long time and whispered to Chen Zixiao, "Have your people calm down and don't act rashly."
Seeing that the enemy had another group of troops coming, Chen Zixiao thought that he would really have to go through another bloody battle today. He even held on to the belief that he would die. However, he did not expect the imperial concubine to suddenly say this. He turned around and looked at Nan Yan, who winked at him.
He came to his senses and immediately waved his hand. All the soldiers around him took a step back and protected the emperor and the concubine.
Ying Shao did so immediately without waiting for Nan Yan's instructions.
Mandu's eyes were sharp, and upon seeing this, he understood Nan Yan's intention. He stepped forward and said to Nan Yan, "Your Majesty the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine are worth millions of gold. Why would they come to such a desolate place like Yumen Pass?"
“…”
Nan Yan looked at him and didn't answer immediately. Instead, she called Zhu Chengjun back and asked him to protect the unconscious Zhu Feng. Then she stood up, straightened her clothes, walked to the front of the team, and said to Mandu, "Master Mandu's words make me quite confused."
"Oh? Why doesn't your Majesty understand?"
Nan Yan sneered and said, "This Yumen Pass is the border of Yan Country. It is only natural for His Majesty the Emperor and I to come here. As for what we are going to do, we don't have to explain it to your country. On the contrary, Lord Mandu and Princess Baoyin——"
As she spoke, her face darkened and she said righteously, "You crossed our border and invaded our territory. You should give us the explanation."
Naturally, her words seemed a bit arrogant when she said them at this time.
However, this was the most resounding question in the diplomatic relations between the two countries. Even if it was put in the court, it was deafening. Man did not expect that such a question would come out of the mouth of the imperial concubine. He was a little stunned for a while.
When he hesitated, Nan Yan continued, "The army is unjust, and the army is unjust."
“…”
"Lord Mandu is an important official of the Neng Kingdom, a mature and prudent man. Doesn't he know that raising an unknown army will eventually bring disaster upon himself?!"
Mandu's frown deepened.
Seeing her aggressive attitude, Princess Baoyin became furious. She stepped forward and said angrily, "Who told you this? I'm here today to avenge my brother!"
"revenge?"
Upon hearing this, Nan Yan snorted out a sneer, and the contemptuous look directly hit Princess Baoyin's face: "Are you worthy of saying these two words?"
Princess Baoyin's expression changed immediately: "What do you mean?"
Nan Yan sneered, "Your Highness the Princess may be speaking righteously now, but what did you do during the battle of White Tiger City when Monk and Arslan were fighting for their lives?"
Princess Baoyin felt a lump in her throat when she asked this question.
She bit her lower lip and was about to argue, but Nan Yan didn't give her a chance to speak. She sneered and said, "If they were to decide the winner at that time, who would die?"
“…”
"If Arslan was killed by Monk, would you dare to say that you would dare to have the thought of 'revenge'?"
“…”
"I'm afraid you wouldn't dare to fart."
“…”
"You call it revenge, but it's just to make up for your cowardice and bias over the years. Monk has also suppressed the forces of White Tiger City over the years, but you still live beside him with peace of mind. But have you ever said a word for Arslan? You help whoever supports you, and you even brazenly talk about revenge for Arslan? Will he listen to you?"
Her words were full of sarcasm. She was talking about national affairs, but was also full of bitterness and harshness about family matters. Princess Baoyin had never met such a person, let alone heard such words. In front of Mandu and so many people, her face turned red and white, and she wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
Seeing her like this, Mandu was speechless.
He pulled Princess Baoyin behind him, then said to Nan Yan with a sullen face, "Your Highness, you don't have to say these words."
Nan Yan sneered, "Logically, this isn't something I should be saying, but someone brought it to me, and I'd feel like I'd let her down if I didn't give her a smack."
Mandu said with a sullen face, "Aren't you afraid of angering us, Madam?"
His words seemed to carry a hint of murderous intent.
Immediately, the surrounding soldiers began to stare eagerly and were ready to make a move, while Chen Zixiao and the others also nervously clenched their swords.
Nan Yan glanced around, especially at the combined forces of Ying Shao and Chen Zixiao, and the sharpness on her face faded a bit. She said calmly, "Lord Mandu should understand the temperament of us Yan people. We don't want to fight, but we are not afraid of it."
“…”
"Don't think you can get any advantage here today."
Mandu narrowed his eyes slightly and said nothing.
When he just came here, he probably had a clear understanding of the situation here. The imperial guards led by Ying Shao were elite. Although they were not at an advantage in numbers, if a fight really broke out, as Nan Yan said, they might not gain the upper hand.
More importantly—
He lowered his head again and glanced at Zhu Feng who was held in the arms of the little prince Zhu Chengjun.
Mandu asked, "What's going on with him?"
