Chapter 524: Pick Her Up
When the sun rose and dispelled the last trace of haze, the army of Dian retreated completely.
What was left behind were corpses everywhere and a vast snowfield.
Everyone standing on the city wall looked at the scene in front of them, seemingly unable to react and some even couldn't believe it.
Everyone was silent in the wind.
After an unknown amount of time, a young soldier leaned against the wall and looked at the rolling mountains in the distance. A red sun gradually rose from the ground.
The orange-red sunlight suddenly illuminated everyone's eyes.
He murmured, "We, won...?"
As he spoke, the people around him looked at each other in confusion: "We... won?"
"We won..."
"We won!"
All of a sudden, everyone started cheering!
We won!
The shouts rang out from the city wall and spread out in all directions, as if covering the entire earth in an instant.
Zhu Feng stood in the middle of the crowd. Although there was no trace of excitement on his face, his deep eyes were now illuminated by the sunlight.
not to mention--
Next to me, there was a small figure who was cheering and jumping, shouting along with everyone.
"We won!"
Nan Yan shouted, grabbing his wrist and shaking it like a happy little rabbit: "Your Majesty, we won! We won!"
Zhu Feng looked down at her, and after a while, he hummed softly.
After responding to that sound, the corners of his mouth seemed to be uncontrollably raised slightly.
But at this moment, he suddenly thought of something and frowned.
"How did you get here?"
"Well?"
Nan Yan was stunned for a moment.
Zhu Feng looked down at the tower again, his eyes filled with doubt: "What did you just throw down, was it——"
At this moment, a figure squeezed through the cheering crowd and said anxiously, "Your Majesty!"
Looking closely, it was Xiao Shunzi.
Zhu Feng's face darkened: "Didn't I ask you to watch her?"
Xiao Shunzi was so frightened that she immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, spare me! Yes, it was the court lady—she used a knife to force me to bring her here."
“…”
"She said there was a way to repel the enemy."
As he spoke, he glanced at Nan Yan out of the corner of his eye.
When Nan Yan heard this, she looked at Zhu Feng again and said hurriedly, "Yes, Your Majesty, it's my fault. I kidnapped Xiao Shunzi and asked him to prepare a carriage and come here."
"Yeah, yeah, that's it."
"I know I was wrong."
…
Zhu Feng frowned and listened to their half-true and half-false words. He wanted to get angry - but he had just won a battle, so he couldn't get angry.
He just stared at Nan Yan: "Then you——"
At this moment, Nan Yan staggered slightly and was about to fall. Zhu Feng immediately reached out and hugged her, feeling the coldness of her body.
You are wearing such thin clothes!
His brows knitted together, and he immediately said, "You—"
At this moment, he felt that Nan Yan's breathing was a little unstable. Her body leaning on him was limp and her face turned pale.
She panted slightly and whispered, "Your Majesty, this servant..."
"Nan Yan, what's wrong with you?"
"Slave, I'm so tired..."
After saying that, she actually fell into his arms and closed her eyes.
Zhu Feng was startled and quickly reached out to feel her breath - fortunately, her breathing was normal, just a little weak.
She really was...tired.
He took a deep breath and picked her up sideways.
