Chapter 705 Sure enough, he had a nightmare again
Great Wall Moat.
As soon as these three words came out, Nan Yan immediately heard Zhu Feng's breathing become heavier.
She subconsciously looked up, and sure enough, in the sunlight, Zhu Feng's resolute face turned pale in an instant.
Thick eyebrows wrinkled.
Great Wall Moat.
This place...
Nan Yan frowned, but did not ask in front of Monk and Arslan. Instead, she asked softly, "Why do we have to go here?"
"Because, only there can your bloodline be determined."
This is already a reason that cannot be refused.
However, Nan Yan's brows were still furrowed.
Monk looked at her and said gently, "Even if you really want to go back, that's the only way you can go."
“…”
Nan Yan was silent for a long time, and finally turned her head slowly and said to Zhu Feng: "Your Majesty, I——"
Zhu Feng's expression eased a little at this time.
"What?"
Nan Yan said softly, "I want to go."
"Come back with me!"
"Monk is right. Even if I want to go back, that's the only way I have to go."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Feng's brows furrowed slightly again.
Nan Yan continued, "Besides, I still want to find out more about my own life experience."
“…”
“That’s very important to me.”
In this world, no one doesn't care about his or her own background.
Perhaps people who have both parents and have grown up in a happy family would think that she is doing this in vain. However, only those who have been called "bastard" since childhood will understand the feeling of longing for relatives and one's origin.
Zhu Feng looked down at her for a long time.
Nan Yan looked at him timidly, as if waiting for him to get angry and curse at any time, but there was a kind of stubbornness in her eyes, as if she would never give in on this matter.
After a moment, Zhu Feng said, "That's fine."
“…”
"Then I will go with you."
"ah?"
Nan Yan's eyes widened immediately: "Your Majesty, you——"
Monk and Arslan also looked at each other.
After a long while, Monk smiled and said, "Isn't this just right?"
Zhu Feng looked up at him and asked, "When are we leaving?"
Monk turned around and looked around. Everyone was almost ready, and this place was not a place to stay for long.
He said, “If you want, you can set off now.”
"Then let's go."
After saying that, Zhu Feng grabbed Nan Yan's hand and pulled her towards his horse.
This was considered an order, so the guards on both sides also mounted their horses one after another. However, Nan Yan looked back at Ran Xiaoyu and said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, I think-"
"Shut up!"
After saying that, Zhu Feng hugged her around the waist and got on the horse.
Then he said without turning his head: "Ran Xiaoyu, get on the horse and go."
Ran Xiaoyu said: "Yes."
Seeing that Ran Xiaoyu had also mounted the horse, Nan Yan naturally had nothing to say. She gently reached out and grabbed the hand around her waist, and even tried to entwine her fingers with his.
Zhu Feng glanced down at her.
Nan Yan looked up at him, then whispered, "Do you really want to go together?"
“…”
Zhu Feng was silent for a while, then slightly bent his intertwined fingers with hers and held her hand tightly.
"Um."
"What if something goes wrong?"
"That's why I'm going."
“…”
Nan Yan was talking about what would happen if something happened to him.
But what he was worried about was himself.
Nan Yan couldn't help but want to laugh, and her eyes actually curved slightly.
Sitting in his arms and letting him control everything is indeed much more comfortable than struggling alone on horseback.
When he's not around, you have to suffer a little.
Now that he's here, it's okay to enjoy himself.
So he whispered, "Okay."
Zhu Feng then snorted, then shook the reins and said, "Go!"
A group of people rushed out.
Monk looked at their backs for a long time. In the dust raised by the horses' hooves, the smiling face did not change at all.

The two groups of people ran on the grassland for three days.
Fortunately, before going out, everyone brought enough dry food and water, so there was no need to worry about having enough food.
However, this season is when the sun is at its highest, and the grassland is endless, with no place to hide.
No matter how Zhu Feng took care of Nan Yan, she still suffered a little.
After a few days, my forehead became a little darker.
What's even more terrible is that when people are exposed to the sun like this, their whole body really becomes weak. Nan Yan feels like she has become a sugar man. If she continues to be exposed to the sun like this, she will become a pool of syrup.
Fortunately, Zhu Feng has been holding her tightly in his arms for the past two days.
She didn't suffer much on horseback.
That evening, they rode forward again and vaguely saw some dark shadows appearing on the horizon in the distance of the endless grassland.
It's a mountain range.
In other words, they are almost there.
And the sun was almost setting.
Even in midsummer, the temperature on the grassland would drop quickly once the sun set. So, instead of running forward, they found a small river and set up camp beside it.
Monk said, “Tomorrow, it will be here.”
Great Wall Moat.
He seemed to have deliberately not mentioned these three words, but even after hearing them, Zhu Feng's expression became gloomier than before.
Not long after everyone stopped, two groups of people left their team.
One of them was sent by Arslan. Nan Yan knew that they were definitely heading to Kulun City.
The other one was naturally sent by Zhu Feng.
Went to the city of Peking.
You know, the Great Wall Moat is the border between the two countries.
Even though Arslan had been sent as an envoy to the State of Yan and the two sides had signed an alliance, they were still not very confident in each other.
Soon, it was dark.
Everyone gathered around the campfire, ate, and then moved the campfire to the side. They spread mattresses or animal skins on the ground, which had been baked very dry and hot, and went to sleep.
Normally, the troops on both sides slept at least ten feet apart, with guards on duty in between to keep an eye on each other.
Today, when making a fire, Nan Yan can ask people to keep the fire away from the person they are leaving.
So, the place where they slept could no longer see each other and Monk and the others.
Even Nan Yan asked everyone else to stay away from them.
The night on the grassland was very quiet, even the sound of the wind could not be heard. Nan Yan looked at the bright starry sky above her head and sighed softly, when she felt a commotion around her.
The breathing sound in my ears was no longer as even and long as before, but instead seemed impatient and uneasy.
Nan Yan slowly turned her head.
I saw the face next to me, with a furrowed brow, disordered breathing, and an uneasy expression.
Sure enough, he had another nightmare.
