Chapter 1806 The Changes of Thermidor
Nan Yan pursed her lips and smiled.
Just as they were about to speak, they walked back to the door of the inn and Xiao Shunzi came out to greet them: "Sir, Madam."
He had suffered a loss in the East and West Halls, and he was always worried about the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine going there again. From the moment they left, he had been pacing back and forth at the gate, fearing that something might happen to them.
Now that I see the person has returned safely, I finally feel relieved.
Come out to greet you immediately.
Zhu Feng saw him and asked, "What's the matter?"
Xiao Shunzi said softly, "Master Yang has sent someone to deliver a letter."
"oh?"
Zhu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly.
They had just arrived for one day when they received news from Yang Dai.
Zhu Feng turned around and said to Nan Yan, "Go up."
Nan Yan also nodded, and Ran Xiaoyu supported her. The group quickly walked into the busy inn and went to their room on the second floor.
Here, just like yesterday, the smell of richly scented incense was still burning. The waiters had come early in the morning to clean the room and re-make the bed. When they came back, they even brought them hot tea.
Zhu Feng waved his hand and asked people to leave.
Then he looked up at the guard who had just come from Shazhouwei and asked, "What did Yang Dai ask you to come here for?"
The guard bowed and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, Lord Yang has sent me here to report to Your Majesty that there has been some movement in the Crescent Moon."
"Oh? How did you know?"
"Ever since the last night attack, the Duwei Mansion has sent an additional group of people to gather information near the Hot Moon Crescent, especially that road."
Zhu Feng nodded slightly.
This is also what he instructed.
Although it is impossible for people who know them to enter the Thermidor, it is still possible for them to stay nearby and find out some information from inside.
So he asked, "What's going on inside?"
The guard said, "Looking at the situation, it seems that there have been personnel changes in the Hot Moon Crescent."
"What do you mean?"
"Before, there were several groups of people in the Hot Moon Bay. In addition to the former head who has already abdicated, they still have three other heads. Every time they robbed or fought against the people in the Duwei Mansion, they would act together with several groups of people."
"Um."
"But later, especially when Lord Ye broke into the Thermidor Crescent, we discovered that there seemed to be one group of people missing."
“…”
"But in the past two days, that group of people appeared again."
After hearing this, Nan Yan couldn't help but open her eyes wide and looked at Zhu Feng in surprise.
Zhu Feng, as if he had already expected this, listened calmly and nodded: "Okay, I understand."
The guard added, "Moreover, more guards have been deployed around Shazhouwei recently. It seems they are anticipating our actions. The number of sentries has doubled."
“…”
A faint smile appeared on Zhu Feng's lips.
After a long silence, he said, "That's perfect."
“…”
"You can go back and report now."
"yes."
The guard responded and looked at him cautiously, "I wonder if the emperor has anything else to say to Lord Yang?"
Zhu Feng said, "Go tell him to hold his troops still."
“…”
"This is 'bad news'."
The guard was stunned.
However, he understood that this was obviously not the news meant for him, so he just had to pass it on truthfully. He immediately responded and turned to leave.
But as soon as he turned around, Zhu Feng suddenly said, "Wait a moment."
The guard immediately turned around and asked: "Your Majesty, do you have any other instructions?"
Zhu Feng glanced at him, then turned and said, "Fang Buyuan."
Jinyiwei Commander Fang Buyuan immediately stepped forward and asked, "What are your commands, Your Majesty?"
Zhu Feng said, "Send two more people to go back with him. They should take care of each other along the way. They must return to Shazhouwei before tonight. No delay is allowed."
"yes."
Although the guard felt strange as to why he came alone but had to arrange for someone to go back with him, since it was the emperor's order, he naturally obeyed and turned around to leave.
After a while, the sound of horses riding away was heard below.
Zhu Feng waved his hand again and asked them to go down and do their own thing.
Only Nan Yan was left in the room with him. Nan Yan immediately walked over to him and whispered, "Your Majesty is worried that he will become like Wei Liang before?"
Zhu Feng glanced at her.
Then he said in a deep voice: "Wei Liang is someone I have used before. I know him well and he will definitely not betray me."
“…”
"It's just that now is not the time to investigate."
“…”
"Let's first take down this gang of thieves."
Nan Yan nodded.
She saw Zhu Feng frowning slightly, with a few faint wrinkles appearing between his eyebrows, and knew that he had been facing a lot of problems in the past two days and was a little worried.
So, I went to make a cup of tea.
The tea here was added with spices and some strange things, and tasted like poison. Neither of them was used to it, so they made tea for Zhu Feng themselves according to his preferences.
Then send it to him.
"emperor……"
Zhu Feng felt his palms getting warm, and when he looked up, he saw her standing beside him with a concerned look on her face.
So I smiled gently.
He reached out to take the teacup and took her into his arms.
Nan Yan didn't struggle, but nestled in his arms obediently. She also sat on his lap and said softly, "Your Majesty, Lord Yang said that there have been personnel changes in Thermidor. Is that -"
Zhu Feng said: "You noticed it too."
Nan Yan said, "Thermidor has three leaders. Could the one released now be Ji Santing?"
Zhu Feng took a sip of tea and nodded.
"I think it's pretty close."
“…”
"After he and Xue Ling reunited, Xue Ling must have wanted him to leave with her, but he had already joined the Sand Bandits, so it wasn't that easy for him to leave. Just now, that girl Ran Xiaoyu also said that joining the Sand Bandits requires a pledge of allegiance."
“…”
"Besides, if he really took the position of the head of the family, I'm afraid he would know a lot of things inside."
“…”
"Right now, Thermidor is facing off with the imperial court. The people inside will definitely not let someone who knows so many of their secrets and is familiar with all the checkpoints inside leave. If he cooperates with the imperial court, Thermidor will be finished."
Nan Yan said: "So, when they wanted to leave, those sand bandits locked Ji Santing up."
“…”
"And the reason Xue Ling worked for them and helped them was because he negotiated this condition with them."
“…”
"As long as she accomplishes all this, will those people release Ji Santing?"
"good."
Zhu Feng said, "But right now, they definitely can't let Ji Santing leave. I just gave them this promise."
“…”
"Wait until this is over, then release them."
Hearing this, Nan Yan's eyes suddenly lit up.
