Chapter 3287 Whoever says it will die!
Nan Yan immediately said, "Ruoshui said that in the afternoon, people in the mansion saw Wen Bieyu looking for Cheng Jun everywhere. He took the horse away again, is that right—"
Zhu Feng frowned.
He asked again, "What about the city gate?"
At this time, Chen Zixiao walked in from outside, saluted them, and then said, "Your Majesty, I have just heard about His Royal Highness the Prince of Han. News has come back from the city gate. The guards did not see His Royal Highness leave the city, but in the evening, they did see Wen Bieyu hurriedly riding out of the city."
When Nan Yan heard this, her heart sank.
In the afternoon, Wen Bieyu searched everywhere in the Duwei Mansion for His Royal Highness the King of Han. Afterwards, he went to the stable to take away his horse, and then rode out of the city in the evening.
All signs indicate that it was Zhu Chengjun who disappeared first. As the tutor of His Royal Highness the King of Han, he did not dare to make it public - after all, he and his wife were beaten a few days ago because they rode too far. So he searched everywhere for Zhu Chengjun but couldn't find him. Finally, he may have found some clues or knew something, so he rode out of the city to look for Zhu Chengjun.
Nan Yan anxiously grabbed Zhu Feng's arm: "Your Majesty, what should we do? Is Cheng Jun——"
Zhu Feng gently patted the back of her hand: "Don't be anxious."
Although he told Nan Yan not to worry, the solemn expression on his face resembled the darkening weather outside. He stood up and said, "Chen Zixiao, send out two teams. One team will continue to search Handongwei to see if the King of Han has hidden somewhere. The other team will leave the city and search the area around Handongwei for the King of Han. If they can't find him, they will look towards the altar."
"yes!"
Chen Zixiao immediately turned around and left.
Nan Yan opened her eyes wide and looked at Zhu Feng: "Your Majesty, do you think Cheng Jun might have gone to the altar?"
Zhu Feng let out a deep breath and said, "The palace has never had such an altar, nor has it ever held such a prayer for wind and rain. Cheng Jun might have wanted to go and see it out of curiosity; and Wen Bieyu, because he was beaten before, he wanted to find the person and resolve this matter alone. That's why he went out to look for him secretly without telling anyone."
"Asshole!"
Nan Yan was so angry that she gritted her teeth and cursed.
"He's only a little boy, yet he dares to steal a horse and leave. Doesn't he know that a war is about to break out here and how dangerous it is? And Wen Bieyu, he dared not say a word about such a serious matter. If Cheng Jun really had an accident——"
She was angry and scared, and she didn't even dare to say the words when they came to her lips.
Zhu Feng also had a serious expression on his face, and said solemnly, "It's my fault for bringing him here this time and letting him go wild."
“…”
"But there's no point in being angry. No matter how angry you are, you have to wait until the person is found safely."
Nan Yan turned to look at him: "Your Majesty means——"
Zhu Feng narrowed his eyes, a sharp glint in them. He spoke slowly, "If this place were in the city, I wouldn't be so worried no matter how far he went. But this is northwest, surrounded by wasteland. Furthermore, a dozen miles northwest is not only the spot chosen by the old uncle to build the altar, but also the area we chose for the battle. We chose that place because there are no obstacles within a radius of dozens of miles, making it easy for cavalry to charge."
Nan Yan frowned.
Zhu Feng looked at her and said, "There are no obstacles. In other words, there are no road signs."
“…”
"Even soldiers who patrol this area frequently sometimes get lost in the road, and a large army needs a guide who is familiar with the route."
“…”
"What I am most worried about now is that he will get lost."
Upon hearing this, Nan Yan panicked and grabbed Zhu Feng's arm with both hands. "Your Majesty, Cheng Jun, he wouldn't really be lost, right? Even if he is lost, we can send people out and find him, right?"
Zhu Feng was silent for a moment, then he looked down at her and said gently, "Didn't I already send someone out to look for her?"
“…”
"Don't worry, he's still young after all. He can't go too far. We should be able to find him soon."
Hearing his words, Nan Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded gently, saying, "That's good, that's good..."
After she finished speaking, she thought for a moment and then added, "Wen Bieyu still needs to be found."
Although she was angry, the child was still a child after all. If anything happened to him, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life. Zhu Feng listened and said softly, "Of course. Even if you want to beat him, you have to get him back."
After saying that, he gently patted Nan Yan's shoulder, stood up and said, "Okay, don't worry, take a rest first."
Nan Yan shook her head painfully: "How can I rest?"
She felt like her heart was on a knife because she couldn't find her child.
Zhu Feng didn't force her, but only told Ruoshui and the others to serve the imperial concubine well. Nan Yan looked up and asked, "Is the emperor going out again?"
Zhu Feng said, "I have something else to do. If there's any news outside, I'll have someone come and tell you as soon as possible."
Nan Yan nodded, and Zhu Feng turned and left.
However, as soon as he walked out of the yard, his face darkened in the gloomy sky. He turned around and asked, "Where's Fang Buyuan?"
By this time, Fang Buyuan had naturally already known about the disappearance of His Royal Highness the Prince of Han. He had a vague feeling something was amiss and had been waiting outside. Upon hearing the emperor's question, he immediately came over. Zhu Feng said with a sullen face, "Lead a team of men and leave the city immediately."
Fang Buyuan was stunned for a moment and said, "Didn't the emperor just ask Lord Chen to send people out of the city to look for him?"
Zhu Feng said, "Your route is different from theirs. Head northwest, directly to the altar. Search the area around there for the whereabouts of King Han and Wen Bie Yudao. If you find them, report immediately!"
Fang Buyuan said: "The emperor means——"
Zhu Feng's face was gloomy as he slowly said, "Given Arslan's cautious nature, he has hundreds of thousands of troops stationed near Handongwei. He will definitely have sent spies to inspect the terrain. I'm afraid we won't be able to hide the fact that we're building the altar from them for too long. What if they run into us—"
Having said that, his eyes suddenly turned cold.
When Fang Buyuan heard this, his heart sank. He immediately understood the seriousness of the matter and why the Emperor called him in to explain the matter only after he had left the imperial concubine's room.
If the imperial concubine knew about this, she would probably be half dead.
So he said, "I will do it right away!"
After saying that, he turned around and hurried away with his men.
Zhu Feng watched his back disappear into the night. After a while, he turned back and told Xiao Shunzi, who was following behind him and was also worried, "This matter must be kept secret from the imperial concubine. Whoever reveals it will die!"
Xiao Shunzi said: "Yes!"
