Chapter 623 Arrange an Emperor
Who knew that as soon as he opened the curtain, he saw a familiar figure sitting in the carriage.
Nan Yan's eyes suddenly widened.
Zhu Feng?!
"Emperor——"
Because he was so surprised, his voice became hoarse before he could finish his words.
Sensing her shock, Ran Xiaoyu subconsciously leaned over to take a look, and her eyes widened in shock.
Zhu Feng, why are you in this carriage?
Is he going to follow Nan Yan?
For a moment, she was a little unable to react, but instinctively helped Nan Yan up, then stepped down and sat in the carriage at the back.
Soon, at Ye Zheng's command, the convoy slowly moved forward.
Left the palace gate.
In the swaying carriage, Nan Yan was unable to recover for a long time. She even rubbed her eyes several times, trying to see if she was hallucinating.
Finally, Zhu Feng asked in a deep voice, "Are you that surprised?"
“…”
It’s really him!
Nan Yan lowered her head and thought for a while, but it still felt so unreal. She slowly sat down inside, only to see Zhu Feng reach out and lift a corner of the curtain next to him and take a look outside.
Because we left so early, it was still pitch black around us.
Only the lantern in front of the carriage illuminated the road around them. The city of Jinling had not even woken up yet.
In this way, they should be able to leave the city quickly.
No one noticed.
He whispered to the outside: "Go faster, but don't alarm anyone."
Someone outside immediately responded, "Yes."
Then, Zhu Feng lowered the curtains and withdrew his hand.
It was also at this time that Nan Yan finally regained some consciousness from her shock. She said softly, "Your Majesty, why—"
Zhu Feng said expressionlessly, "I said I will take care of the men and horses."
“…”
Nan Yan just felt her mind was in a mess.
Of course, he will arrange the manpower and horses.
So, he placed an emperor in this group?
Is that reasonable?
Nan Yan felt her palms sweaty and whispered, "But those Neng people kidnapped my grandmother. I don't know what they're going to do."
“…”
"I'm afraid this trip will be dangerous."
Zhu Feng glanced at her coldly: "Are you talking to me?"
“…”
Nan Yan was stunned by his retort.
After a while, I finally understood what he meant.
Who is he?
How could a man who had fought in wars, killed people, and spent more than ten years in the midst of swords and spears be afraid of danger?
Nan Yan hesitated for a moment, then said, "But the emperor is, after all, a supreme ruler."
Zhu Feng said, "If you continue to talk nonsense like this to me, I will put you back in jail."
“…”
Nan Yan immediately shut her mouth.
Zhu Feng snorted coldly, then closed his eyes to rest.
Neither of them spoke. Only the sound of the wheels knocking against the cobblestones made the monotonous sound even more awkward.
Nan Yan could only lean against the window and look outside through the gaps between the swaying curtains.
It was pitch black.
But at this moment, the sounds of horse hooves and wheels in her ears suddenly became mixed. She subconsciously looked outside and saw that a team was passing by her carriage.
There was also a carriage and guards accompanying him.
The lantern on the carriage swayed in the dim light, but soon it passed them and went ahead.
Nan Yan opened her eyes wide in surprise.
That is——
As if he had heard the voice, Zhu Feng opened his eyes. Nan Yan hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, then—"
There was a group of people, just like them, coming out of the imperial city.
Who could it be?
Zhu Feng said calmly, "It has nothing to do with you."
“……?”
"Don't worry about it."
“…”
Nan Yan looked at him for a while, and then began to understand.
He knows.
He was the one who allowed that group of people to leave the palace, but it seemed that they were not taking the same route as him.
Who is it?
Nan Yan subconsciously wanted to look outside, but Zhu Feng suddenly said, "Have you ever thought about why those Neng people kidnapped your grandmother?"
“……!”
Nan Yan's breathing became heavier.
She slowly turned around and looked at Zhu Feng.
In the dim light, the eyes of both people sparkled, as if a gleam of light flashed by.
Nan Yan was silent for a while, then said two words -
"Imperial Seal."
Zhu Feng raised his eyebrows.
Nan Yan continued, "The Jade Seal of the Neng Kingdom."
“…”
"I've thought about it calmly these past two days. They must have kidnapped my grandmother for the imperial seal."
Zhu Feng said calmly: "Oh? Why do you think so?"
Nan Yan took a deep breath and said, "When I was in Peking before, Ye Zheng once told me that the people of the Neng Kingdom have been searching for their lost imperial seal. Therefore, almost all of their actions revolve around finding the seal."
“…”
"And I think back, the first time Arslan came to Yan Country, he went to the Si family."
“…”
"The second time was during the Battle of Beiping, when someone from the royal family of the Neng Kingdom sent me a message."
“…”
"And the letter—"
She took a deep breath and said, "Their lost seal may be related to me; more likely, it is related to my missing uncle and my deceased father."
“…”
Zhu Feng looked at her gravely.
After a while, he nodded.
He said in a deep voice, "But it seems that your great uncle and your father only left behind that letter."
Nan Yan nodded slightly.
"But the people of Dian will not believe it."
“…”
"So, they kidnapped my grandmother."
“…”
"What I'm most worried about now is that if they find out that Grandma is seriously ill and can't tell people apart, will they get angry and hurt her?"
When she said this, her voice was trembling.
Zhu Feng's breath sank for a moment.
After a while, he said, "They'd better not do this."
Nan Yan glanced at him.
Although it was just a simple sentence, it seemed to give her infinite power.
Zhu Feng said solemnly, "But I don't think their purpose is necessarily to get anything out of your grandmother."
“……?”
Nan Yan looked up at him in surprise: "Why?"
Zhu Feng said solemnly, "Since they were able to kidnap your grandmother without alerting anyone, I think they must have understood the situation of the Si family."
“…”
"It should also be clear that your grandmother is ill and confused."
“…”
"They also do this, obviously for other purposes."
Nan Yan suddenly became nervous: "What's the purpose?"
Zhu Feng said: "The clues are dead, but the people are alive."
“…”
"They might want to use your grandmother to lure out some people, or to bring out some things."
Nan Yan's breathing became tense: "They want to lure out - uncle?"
