Chapter 1859 Life and death are minor matters, survival is major
However, in such a vast snow, a tall figure stood firm.
The tall figure is like a pine tree.
He stood at the front of the team, facing the fiercest north wind. The whistling wind lifted up the wind cloak behind him, which rustled in the wind, as if it wanted to uproot the strong pine tree.
But he didn't move.
The people behind him looked at him in silence, except Xiao Shunzi, who walked over carefully with an umbrella and held it over his head.
Of course, there is no way to stop the chaotic flying snow.
However, Zhu Feng didn't care.
He just raised his head calmly, his bright eyes staring at the red sky in front of him. Although the mountains completely blocked the view of the situation inside, and he could not see the raging fire rising into the sky, there seemed to be flames burning in his eyes.
That kind of flame made him not feel cold at all even when he was in the cold wind and snow.
Not only did I not feel cold, I even—
"emperor,"
Xiao Shunzi was wrapped in a thick cotton coat, but he could hardly hold on at this time, and his teeth kept chattering. Not to mention that Zhu Feng was only wearing ordinary clothes and a windbreaker. Such thin clothes would freeze him to death!
He bravely and cautiously said, "Your Majesty, please add another piece of clothing."
“…”
"It's really too cold."
“…”
"If the emperor gets sick from the cold, I will be blamed even if I die."
Zhu Feng remained unmoved, but frowned slightly.
"Stop talking nonsense!"
"emperor……"
Xiao Shunzi had no other choice but to kneel on the ground. A layer of snow had already accumulated on the ground. As he knelt, his knees suddenly felt a bone-chilling cold. He trembled and said, "Your Majesty, the dragon's health is more important. Your Majesty, this is really not okay."
“…”
"If, if the Imperial Concubine knew about this, I'm afraid she would be heartbroken."
“…”
Zhu Feng was about to lose his temper when he heard his long-winded words, but when he suddenly heard the words "Royal Concubine", his anger seemed to subside a little.
Then she turned and looked at him.
He said helplessly, "Okay, bring the clothes over."
“Yes, yes!”
Xiao Shunzi was about to cry. He quickly stood up and stumbled back. Just as he was about to drag a piece of clothing off the horse's back, a hand reached out and took the clothing.
Xiao Shunzi opened his eyes wide: "Sir?"
The other party just smiled faintly: "Eunuch Shun, let me do it."
“…”
Xiao Shunzi hesitated for a moment, but didn't say anything. He smiled and gave the clothes to the other person. The man walked over and carefully handed the clothes to Zhu Feng.
"Your Majesty, please put on your clothes and don't let the Empress worry."
Upon hearing the voice, Zhu Feng, who had been concentrating on looking ahead and standing motionless in the snow, but whose mind was already racing thousands of miles, finally turned around.
Looking at the other person, he frowned slightly: "Why are you here?"
“…”
"It's only been a short time since I recovered. I should rest and recuperate."
The person standing in front of him was none other than Gu Yiyou, who had just emerged from the Hot Moon Crescent with injuries.
At this moment, his face was still a little pale, and his body was shaking a little as he stood in the wind.
But, it's still okay.
He said softly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern."
“…”
"I've been awake for so many days now. It's not good to stay cooped up in the house all the time. Doctor Wang also said that I should go out for a walk so that I can recover faster."
“…”
"It's just that I didn't tell the Imperial Concubine that I woke up, and she was worried."
Zhu Feng was silent for a moment before he said, "She's pregnant, and I don't want her to experience too much sadness or joy. I'll tell her after things here are over, so she won't worry."
“…”
Just a few words, plain as day, but the meticulous care expressed in them is beyond words.
Gu Yiyou couldn't help but feel happy when listening to it.
She whispered softly, "Your Majesty and Your Majesty are truly deeply in love."
Zhu Feng took the clothes from his hand.
Although the two people's hands only touched briefly when taking the clothes, Gu Yiyou could still feel that the temperature of the emperor's hand, which was lightly dressed, was like a blazing flame, almost giving the illusion that it was going to burn people.
After taking the clothes, he didn't put them on, but just casually draped them over his shoulders.
Not affected by the cold wind at all.
Seeing him like this, Gu Yiyou didn't dare to persuade him any more. Although he didn't understand why, seeing the fire in Zhu Feng's eyes, which seemed to melt the falling snow around him, he could more or less feel the warmth in the heart of His Majesty the Emperor.
In fact, Zhu Feng was suppressing the heat in his heart.
On normal days, he would have already fought his way into the Thermidor Crescent.
Galloping across the battlefield and bravely killing the enemy is what makes him happiest. Standing outside waiting for news has never been his style.
But this time, he didn't do that.
Perhaps Nan Yan's advice finally worked, or perhaps he finally realized that if he wanted to be emperor, he had to give up the power to go into battle and kill the enemy. After all, his last mistake clearly told him that he was not invincible.
If there is any damage, my own life and death is not a big deal, but the survival of Yan State is a big deal.
Besides, there is Nan Yan.
And the baby in her belly.
He had to protect her, and more importantly, he had to protect their child. He couldn't let anything happen to him before the child was born.
So tonight, after he had formulated the battle plan, he handed everything over to Yang Dai and Fang Buyuan, letting them act as they saw fit, while he just stood outside the hot moon, waiting for everything to be over.
now--
He looked up again and looked at the red sky in the distance.
The desire for battle in his heart made his blood boil, as if the flames there were about to burn onto his body.
Zhu Feng clenched his fists, trying his best to suppress the murderous intent in his heart.
At this moment, the breathing of the people around him also became a little tense.
He turned his head again and looked at Gu Yiyou.
"how?"
Gu Yiyou was also looking at the red sky in the distance. When he heard his question, he lowered his head and said softly, "My humble servant, I'm just a little worried."
Zhu Feng asked, "Are you worried that they won't be able to capture the Thermidor?"
“…”
"The information you provided is very detailed. Fang Buyuan and his men will definitely be able to capture him."
Gu Yiyou was silent for a long time before he said, "The bandits in Hot Moon Bay will be wiped out by the Emperor. It's only a matter of time."
“…”
"I'm just worried—"
"What are you worried about?"
"Worry, Si Nian."
“…”
"He was imprisoned by those bandits, and he even cut off his own wrist to get the villain to come out and report the news!"
When he said this, Gu Yiyou's eyes turned red.
He gritted his teeth and said, "I'm afraid he has already..."
