Chapter 3635: Enemies meet, eyes full of jealousy
Nan Yan sat beside him and couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty, what is Monk planning?"
Although still sitting in the carriage, Zhu Feng's state at this moment was completely different from before. Even if their arms just touched each other a little, Nan Yan could feel that his whole body was tense, like a bow that was almost fully drawn, ready to go to the battlefield to fight at any time.
After hearing Nan Yan's words, he turned around and looked at her without much expression on his face. He only said, "What do you think he's planning?"
Nan Yan said, "I don't know about this."
“…”
"But I can be sure of one thing. Besides sending people to launch a surprise attack and burn the food supplies, he must have other plans."
"Oh? Why?"
Nan Yan said solemnly, "Generally speaking, a surprise attack requires quick arrival and departure. Regardless of success or failure, the enemy must evacuate as soon as possible to avoid losses. Furthermore, they've already succeeded, and one of the granaries has been burned, yet they haven't evacuated. Instead, they've remained at the Great Wall Moat for several hours, and are still fighting."
“…”
"This is obviously not an ordinary sneak attack, and the purpose is more than just a sneak attack."
“…”
Zhu Feng's originally tense face showed a slight smile. When he turned to look at Nan Yan, his eyes also showed a hint of appreciation and satisfaction. He said, "You have indeed improved a lot."
Nan Yan immediately said, "Then, has the emperor figured out what Monk is planning?"
The smile on Zhu Feng's face slowly faded. After a moment of silence, he whispered, "No."
“…”
"But I, like you, can tell from this unusual sneak attack that Monk has his own plans. The commotion I've made in mobilizing troops and food supplies is so large that it must have alarmed him a long time ago, and he also knows that this should be the last time between him and me—"
At this point, he felt Nan Yan's face darken, and he immediately changed his tone, "This is the most important battle. He will definitely give his all and try every possible way to win this war. However, this time his situation is much worse than before. Winter has arrived earlier than usual, and much of the grass on their grasslands has frozen and died. With insufficient fodder, the cavalry's mobility will be greatly reduced. Therefore, he will definitely have to put more effort into the battle than before."
Nan Yan frowned.
Everyone knew that Monk was scheming and cunning, and everyone also knew that this sneak attack was definitely not as simple as it seemed, but they didn't know what he was going to do.
This feeling is like crossing a river on the thin ice in early spring. Everyone knows there is danger, but no one knows when or where the danger will come.
Nan Yan's breathing subconsciously tightened.
At this moment, a large, cool hand gently covered hers, interlocking their fingers and holding them tightly. Nan Yan raised her head and looked at Zhu Feng. He had a serious expression, but his eyes were gentle yet firm. He said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, I'm here."
Nan Yan also held his hand more tightly.
"Um!"
The horses' hooves crushed the ice and snow, and they galloped against the howling cold wind, finally stopping half a mile away from the Great Wall moat.
Zhu Feng asked, "Why not keep moving forward?"
This time, Ying Shao simply dismounted and knelt in the snow in front of the carriage, lowering his head and saying, "Your Majesty, we can't go any further!"
Zhu Feng frowned, but didn't say anything in the end. He just lifted the curtain and looked forward.
In fact, before he could even see the scene in front of him clearly, the shouts of killing had already been carried by the wind and rushed towards him. The cold wind seemed to carry tangible murderous intent, and it made everyone here sway slightly.
At this moment, those who were fighting hard on the battlefield had already discovered that such a huge team had appeared far away from them. The dragon flags were fluttering in the wind, and the bright yellow color pierced into the eyes of some people like needles.
"It's Zhu Feng!"
Suddenly, someone roared in anger in the battle formation!
Several Dian cavalrymen suddenly broke away from the battle circle and turned to rush towards Zhu Feng.
The soldiers of Yan State were shocked and rushed forward to stop them, but at this time, the soldiers of Neng State counterattacked again as if they had agreed beforehand, making it impossible for them to get away. They could only watch those people galloping towards the emperor's carriage.
However, this side was not completely unresponsive.
Ying Shao waved his hand and said, "Protect the Emperor!"
Immediately, the troops behind rushed up, surrounded the emperor's carriage, and drew their swords at the cavalry of the Dian State charging in front.
But at this moment, Zhu Feng's somewhat cold voice rang out from the carriage.
"Stand back."
Hearing these two words, the surrounding soldiers were startled and turned to look at the carriage in disbelief. Ying Shao was also shocked. When he looked back, he saw Zhu Feng raised his hand to wave open the curtain and jumped directly from the carriage.
Ying Shao immediately said, "Your Majesty!"
Nan Yan, who was sitting in the carriage, also changed her expression, but she did not stop him immediately. She just looked at Zhu Feng's back with a serious expression, and then looked over Zhu Feng's shoulder at the cavalry of the Dang Kingdom who had rushed to a distance more than a shot from them. The cavalryman who was leading the way was tall and strong, with eyes wide open. When he stared at Zhu Feng, his eyes were full of deep hatred.
Nan Yan frowned slightly - this person looked somewhat familiar.
They didn't know that the man who was rushing in the front and staring at Zhu Feng with red eyes was none other than Naqin, the son of Temur, the first warrior of the Neng Kingdom who had died under his arrow while protecting Monk.
Although he was not an expert in martial arts, he was sent to the vanguard in this assault on the Great Wall. During this charge, several cavalrymen around him kept surrounding him and repelling the Yan soldiers who wanted to kill them and stop them, as if they were specifically protecting him to help him charge to the Yan emperor.
When enemies meet, they are especially jealous of each other.
Although Zhu Feng did not recognize him, he knew from looking at Qin's red eyes that this person was not here just to fight.
But it was directed at myself.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly said, "Bring me my bow and arrow."
Ying Shao was shocked again when he heard this: "Your Majesty."
"quick!"
Ying Shao did not dare to be negligent. He just glanced at the imperial concubine sitting in the carriage. Nan Yan winked at him, and Ying Shao immediately turned around. After a while, he came to Zhu Feng with a longbow in his hand.
Zhu Feng turned around and frowned slightly: "Where is my bow?"
He was talking about the divine arm bow that had killed Temur.
Before Ying Shao could speak, Nan Yan, who was sitting in the carriage, whispered, "The Divine Arm Bow is a divine artifact, so it shouldn't be taken carelessly. I had it packed in my luggage, so it's hard to find it in such a hurry."
After hearing what she said, Zhu Feng didn't ask any more questions.
He just reached out to take the bow, drew the string, and aimed the sharp tip of the arrow at Naqin who was leading the way in front of him.
Everyone held their breath.
