Chapter 2622: Should I return the favor to you?
"Now, it's time to show up."
When Xue Yun heard Zhu Feng's words, he suddenly felt his heart tighten and even his breathing was suffocated.
But it wasn't just because she was nervous.
Moreover, the atmosphere around them suddenly became tense, as if the dark night around them was a dark curtain, and at this moment, the curtain suddenly tightened, invisibly entangling each of them.
My breathing and heartbeat seemed to be suppressed.
She opened her eyes wide and looked at the pitch-black night.
I saw a person slowly walking out of the dark night.
This man, dressed in pitch black, seemed to have emerged from the darkness of the night, almost blending into it. As he approached them step by step, his figure illuminated by the shining firelight, a gleam of light flashed in Zhu Feng's eyes.
He said, “You finally showed up.”
The other party still didn't speak, just stood there quietly.
Although he was dressed in black, his eyes were exceptionally bright, like stars in the night sky, and had the power to penetrate people's hearts and see through their souls.
He looked at Zhu Feng.
Then his gaze shifted to Xue Yun, who was standing there stiffly, his entire body seemingly unconscious.
When the two people's eyes met, although no words were spoken, Zhu Feng clearly felt that even the bonfire beside him seemed to have become more intense.
It was not until this time that the surrounding soldiers suddenly discovered that someone had broken into the camp without their knowledge and appeared in front of the emperor.
Suddenly, they all gathered around with their weapons in hand, and someone shouted, "There's an assassin!"
At this moment, Zhu Feng raised his hand.
Everyone immediately stopped a few feet away from them, and several guards said nervously: "Your Majesty——!"
Zhu Feng said, "Everyone, step back."
"emperor?!"
"I said, everyone, retreat!"
“…”
Everyone was terrified by this person who appeared out of nowhere in the dark and suddenly appeared in front of the emperor.
However, since the emperor had said so, they did not dare to disobey.
I can only retreat step by step.
However, everyone did not dare to be negligent. They all stood around and stared nervously at the dark and tall figure.
At this time, he slowly raised his hand.
Everyone's heart immediately rose in fear, and they all silently tightened their grip on the hilts of the swords hanging around their waists. But the next moment, they saw a pair of pale hands sliding out from the dark robes.
He bowed to Zhu Feng.
"Greetings to His Majesty the Emperor."
“…”
Zhu Feng's eyes flickered as he stared at the hands and also at the owner of those hands.
It was not until he raised his hand that Zhu Feng could see clearly that the man was wearing a pitch-black cloak. Even his face was mostly hidden under the hood, with only a bit of his strong jaw showing.
But when he spoke, his voice was unexpectedly pleasant.
Clean and neat, like the sound of a gong.
Although his tone was respectful, he was neither humble nor arrogant, and even had a hint of stubbornness, just like his figure at the moment. Even when he saluted Zhu Feng, he was as straight as a pine tree, as if even Mount Tai could not make him bend down.
Zhu Feng looked at the pale hands and said, "Then should I return the favor?"
“…”
"But what kind of gift should I use to be worthy of your achievements?"
“…”
The other party just remained silent.
After a long while, he raised his hand again, slowly took off the hood on his head, revealing his true face.
