Chapter 1680 A way to vent
"You are the only one who can give me some peace of mind."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and gently placed it on the back of Nan Yan's hand.
“…”
Nan Yan was speechless.
I could only feel my heart beating violently at this moment, but I couldn't figure out whether it was because of his words or because of the worries I had after he said them.
But she still subconsciously held Zhu Feng's hand and interlocked their fingers.
At this moment, Xiao Shunzi came back hurriedly, holding two heavy fox fur cloaks, as if a mountain was pressing down on him: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this servant——"
Before he could finish his words, he saw two people holding hands and looking into each other's eyes.
"oops!"
He was almost knocked down and wanted to retreat, but his legs were on both sides of the high threshold, and with the heavy objects in his hands, he could not move his legs.
Neither advancing nor retreating is possible.
Nan Yan's face turned red and she quickly pulled her hand back.
In fact, the two people holding hands like this didn't mean they were going to do anything, and it wasn't something shameful, but when Xiao Shunzi did this, it seemed as if the two of them were really doing something shameful.
Zhu Feng couldn't help but grit his teeth and looked at Xiao Shunzi who was in a panic at the door.
Said: "Come in."
"yes……"
Xiao Shunzi also felt like crying but had no tears.
Counting it up, from yesterday to today, I have offended His Majesty the Emperor twice.
I don’t know if I can still return to the capital alive.
He walked in with a mournful look on his face, holding two fox fur cloaks, and helped the emperor and the imperial concubine put them on respectively. Although the clothes were heavy, it was just right since it had snowed outside.
Nan Yan looked at him and herself, they looked like two bears.
She smiled and said, "Where is your Majesty taking me?"
Zhu Feng said: "You'll know when you get out."
After saying that, he gave Xiao Shunzi a few more instructions, and he immediately went down to do it. The two of them also got up and left the study and walked out. When they reached the gate of the Duwei Mansion, they saw two horses.
Nan Yan was stunned: "Huh?"
You know, during the time they came to Shazhouwei, they almost never left the Duwei Mansion. Even if they left the Duwei Mansion, Shazhouwei was actually not very big and they could walk to the edge.
The horses are ready, this is to——
Zhu Feng said, "Let's go outside the city and take a look."
“……!”
Nan Yan's eyes suddenly flickered.
Speaking of which, she has been running around with Zhu Feng for these years. Normally, she wouldn't feel it much if she was in the palace, but after leaving the palace walls, she only wandered around a few places every day, and she felt a little depressed.
But there have been too many things going on recently, so she couldn't say it.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Feng really wanted to take her out of the city.
but--
She thought about it again and said softly, "But Your Majesty, is it safe to go out like this?"
Especially when she saw that, apart from the two horses, Zhu Feng had almost no guards with him. Even though she knew that even if he didn't bring guards, there must be other people following him, but could such a small number of people be useful in such a wasteland?
Especially, the sand bandits in Thermidor are so brutal.
Zhu Feng certainly knew what she was worried about.
He was a little angry and wanted to twist her face, but at least it was in broad daylight, so he held back and said through gritted teeth: "Do you think I can't protect you?!"
"No, of course not."
Only then did Nan Yan realize that her words had offended the Emperor again.
Zhu Feng snorted, and after a moment of silence, he said, "The battle on New Year's Eve wasn't fought in vain by Ye Zheng."
“…”
"Those sand bandits will definitely not dare to approach Shazhouwei so easily again."
Hearing him say this, Nan Yan immediately felt relieved.
Of course, there is also a slight sadness in my heart.
Zhu Feng had already walked forward and directly jumped onto one of the horses, then turned back to look at her: "How is it, are you okay?"
When it comes to this, Nan Yan will certainly not show any fear.
After all, her riding skills were taught by Monk, the emperor of the Dian Kingdom, in Kulun City. The Dian Kingdom was originally known for its riding skills. Moreover, although she hated Monk and his people, who were ruthless in plotting against her, she had to admit that although Monk was not in good health, his riding skills were top-notch.
Of course, the people he taught wouldn't be bad either.
So she walked over and climbed onto the horse's back with ease and grace.
Zhu Feng looked at it and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Nan Yan said, "Your Majesty, please don't look down on others."
Zhu Feng smiled and said, "Really? If you want me to look up to you, you have to have real skills."
Nan Yan asked, "The Emperor wants to test me?"
"It's not really a test for you, but if you can keep up with me—"
"how?"
"I can promise you one thing."
"oh?"
Although Zhu Feng usually obeyed her requests, even if he didn't obey her every word, as long as she worked with him a little, she could get what she wanted in many cases.
But, it was different when the emperor said it himself - he promised something.
This is like a prayer before Buddha.
It's like facing a huge treasure.
Just making a wish or picking up a treasure can give your life a new life.
Nan Yan's eyes lit up.
She said, "The emperor's words are golden!"
Zhu Feng said: "When have I ever lied to you?"
"good!"
Nan Yan immediately gripped the reins with both hands, and put on a look of being on high alert, ready to ride out at any time. Seeing her like this, Zhu Feng felt a little better.
So, he shook the reins in his hand -
"drive!"
With a shout, the horse under him shot out like an arrow.
When Nan Yan saw this, she hurriedly rode her horse to follow.
Xiao Shunzi stood at the gate of the Duwei Mansion. Seeing the two of them running away, he felt happy and worried. He hurriedly urged several guards to catch up, then stood on the steps and watched from afar as the snow dust raised by the horses' hooves spread out and swallowed up the two figures.
Shazhouwei was originally a garrison. Except for some civilians in one side of the city, other places are very different from a regular city. The roads are wide and there are few pedestrians.
Two people were riding on horseback, galloping all the way.
Soon, they were out of the city gate.
As soon as I left the city gate, the wind immediately became even more fierce, like an ice knife cutting across my face.
Although it was a little painful, Nan Yan didn't care at all.
She also likes this feeling of speed.
Especially Zhu Feng——
She knew that although he had been silent, he was not known for his patience. After such a long period of dormancy and forbearance, he had accumulated a lot of emotions in his heart that needed to be vented. For a man, galloping on horseback was also a way to vent.
The two people ran farther and farther away.
Gradually, he shook off the guards behind him.
Nan Yan looked at the wasteland in front of her and saw something appear.
