Chapter 1272 What if she is a beauty?
"What's wrong?"
"Something tripped me."
"What? What tripped you?"
The two looked back and saw a protruding mound of earth on the ground covered with yellow sand, which seemed to be shaking slightly.
"What is this?"
Gu Yiyou walked over suspiciously and subconsciously wanted to kick it, but Tong Sinian stepped forward to stop him and said, "Don't do that yet. This - looks like a person."
"people?"
Gu Yiyou was even more surprised. The two of them hurriedly squatted down, brushed off the sand on the mound, and took a closer look. They found that it was actually a person.
With his face covered in dust and his body covered in dirt, it was almost impossible to tell whether he was a man or a woman.
One could only barely see that the man had a turban wrapped around his head, which was covered with strange blue and white patterns.
Tong Sinian said: "Looks like a woman."
"Woman? Why are you here?"
"Don't worry about how she got here. If we don't rescue her, she's going to be buried alive."
"oh oh."
The two of them lifted the man up from the ground.
At this time, Zhao Daxi and a few others also ran over and asked some questions. Although they were also surprised that a woman suddenly appeared here, at this time, they had no choice but to save her first.
They put the man on the back of a horse, but the man had completely lost consciousness and was about to fall down after lying on the horse's back for a while.
Zhao Daxi reached out to support him.
So, a group of people stumbled in the wind and sand and walked towards Shazhouwei.
At this moment, in the Shazhou Wei Duwei Mansion, the rather exquisite courtyard where Nan Yan lived had its doors and windows tightly closed, and the wind and sand were whistling past. The originally clean ground was now covered with a layer of yellow sand.
Listening to the sound of the wind outside, Nan Yan couldn't help but click her tongue.
Zhu Feng, who was sitting next to her, turned around and glanced at her.
Today, Zhu Feng did not go to the study to handle official business. In addition, there was no need to use troops against Reyuewan immediately, so he gave Yang Dai and the others a day off and asked everyone to go back and take care of their own families.
With such strong sandstorms, I’m afraid it would be difficult for both humans and animals to survive.
Zhu Feng stayed in Nan Yan's room, sitting on the couch and reading a book. Nan Yan was originally dozing off beside him, but when she heard the wind outside getting louder and louder, she woke up and lay on the windowsill.
Zhu Feng asked, "What are you tsk-tsk-tsk-ing about?"
Nan Yan said, "I didn't expect that what Li said was true."
"Li Lai? Is he the man Ye Zheng rescued from the bandit's lair?"
"It's him."
"What did he say?"
"Yesterday he told me that the weather might be bad in the next two days, and there might be a big sandstorm. I didn't believe him at first, but now—"
As he was speaking, the wind made the windows rattle again.
Nan Yan said, "I can't help but believe it."
"oh……"
Zhu Feng listened and raised his eyebrows slightly.
He stretched out his hand and pushed the window open a little, looking at the yellow sand outside. Just by opening it a little, a gust of wind and sand immediately rushed into the house and hit them both in the face.
Zhu Feng said, "This person's words are somewhat credible."
“…”
"I just don't know, that Xue Ling..."
Having said that, they both looked at each other.
In the past two days, although Zhu Feng only asked Gu Yiyou and Tong Sinian to go out to survey the terrain, it seemed that he had nothing to do. But in fact, he asked Yang Dai to send more people to investigate the soldiers who followed Ye Zheng to the temporary commandery's mansion to clear out the sand bandits on the night of New Year's Eve.
However, there was no result.
Well, there are two possibilities.
One possibility is that the murderer is still hiding among those soldiers, but he is hiding so deeply that he cannot be found even if investigated.
There is another possibility.
The murderer was not those soldiers, but someone else.
Among the people in the Duwei Mansion, I'm afraid the most likely ones are these two.
But Xue Ling - Nan Yan has been observing her these past two days. Except for running to Ye Zheng's room every day to guard for a while, making Ran Xiaoyu jealous, she almost never goes out at other times.
It can be said that there is no flaw.
There is still no clue as to who it is.
This person is really smart.
Zhu Feng thought for a moment and then asked, "Didn't you say you were planning to notify them to leave Shazhouwei in two days? Why haven't you told me yet?"
Nan Yan said: "I originally planned to tell you today, but the emperor has also seen it, this weather——"
“…”
"I don't want to be known as someone who doesn't care about people's lives."
Zhu Feng nodded: "After today, I'll tell them."
"I know."
The two people leaned on the couch, reading a book and chatting about something. After a while, they heard footsteps outside.
Xiao Shunzi's voice sounded at the door——
"emperor!"
Zhu Feng raised his head. "Hmm? What's up?"
"News came from outside the city that the young masters of the Gu and Tong families have returned."
When Nan Yan heard this, she immediately raised her head and said, "They are back."
Zhu Feng said, "It must be very hard for them to come back like this with such a strong wind and sand outside. Let's send someone to greet them quickly."
Xiao Shunzi said, "The city gates have been opened to welcome people in. They are coming to confess their crimes to the emperor."
"how?"
"I heard that he picked up someone on the road."
"Huh? Picked up someone?"
Zhu Feng listened with some surprise.
However, he turned around and looked at Nan Yan with a bit of amusement, and said, "Your uncle is too cautious."
In fact, when two people went out with a group of people, no matter what they picked up, it was their own business. They just needed to report it. The fact that these two people came to apologize shows that they were cautious in doing things.
It must have been taught by Gu Tingqiu.
Nan Yan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Uncle is also worried that these young people will act without restraint."
Zhu Feng smiled and shook his head.
After thinking for a moment, he added, "But who would be on the road in this weather?"
The two looked at each other, but neither spoke first.
When they arrived at Shazhouwei, strange things happened one after another. Although Zhu Feng was a master in fighting, he had to be cautious when encountering such things.
Said: "I'll go over and take a look."
So he stood up and asked Xiao Shunzi to come in and help him put on his clothes and shoes.
Xiao Shunzi came in immediately and just put on Zhu Feng's coat. Nan Yan thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I will go too."
Zhu Feng said, "We haven't figured out who it is yet. If it's someone with ulterior motives, it could be dangerous."
But Xiao Shunzi said: "Your Majesty, that is a woman."
"What?"
"Mr. Gu and Mr. Tong rescued a woman."
“…”
"He's unconscious now and is being examined by a doctor."
After hearing this, Nan Yan immediately said, "Then I will definitely go over there."
Zhu Feng turned around and looked at her: "You——"
"If it's a beauty, I'll go over and keep an eye on the emperor."
“…”
Zhu Feng was both angry and amused by her self-righteous words, but because Xiao Shunzi was here, he couldn't pinch her even though he wanted to.
I could only grit my teeth and say, "Okay, I'll let you go!"
