Chapter 2942 There is another person in the south
But most importantly—
Have they figured out who the enemy is?
Hearing Nan Yan's words, Zhu Feng's face showed no surprise. He just looked up at her and said, "What do you want to tell me?"
Nan Yan said, "I remember that when I went to Xingluo Lake, at the Imperial Mausoleum, that Master Shangshan once told me about Xingluo Lake and the origins of Tiangang Lianhuanwu. They were the remnants of a force hostile to Emperor Gao after he founded the country. Due to Xingluo Lake's unique geographical environment and the fact that the country was weak at the beginning, Emperor Gao had to deal with many major internal and external events. Therefore, he did not send further troops to annihilate them. As a result, Xingluo Lake has become a mysterious area that cannot even be marked on the map."
Zhu Feng said: "Yeah."
Nan Yan said: "But they have been almost silent over the years."
“…”
"The last time the Emperor brought me there, it was also because Arslan went there. If not, the Tiangang Lianhuanwu bandits wouldn't have posed any threat to us."
"Um."
"But why are they taking action now?"
“…”
"Furthermore, according to General Xu's letter, even the civil unrest in Jiangnan originated from them."
“…”
"Why didn't they cause trouble back then, but instead started causing trouble when the emperor ascended the throne and everything had stabilized?"
Zhu Feng didn't answer immediately after hearing what she said.
Instead, he placed one hand on the table and tapped it lightly as if unconsciously.
After a moment of silence, he looked up at Nan Yan and said, "Why do you think?"
“…”
For some reason, when she met Zhu Feng's eyes and heard him ask this, Nan Yan's heart suddenly became confused.
She subconsciously lowered her head and avoided Zhu Feng's gaze.
"I don't know."
“…”
Zhu Feng looked at her for a while.
But he didn't ask any further questions, as if the question just now was just a casual question.
He said, "It's okay. If you don't know, go check it out."
“…”
"Once you find out, you'll know."
“…”
"If I were to deploy troops against Xingluo Lake, I would have needed to investigate thoroughly first. No matter who we're fighting or how we're fighting, knowing both ourselves and the enemy is the prerequisite for victory."
Nan Yan hesitated for a moment, then looked up at him again: "When does the emperor plan to go?"
Zhu Feng said, "Once things in the capital are settled, I will set off."
“…”
"The Crown Prince has grown up, so it's natural for him to be the regent. I'll feel more at ease with your uncle."
“…”
"We need to send more troops to the north to prevent the people of Dian from learning of our movements and sending troops to the Great Wall. We can't lose the territory we have finally recaptured."
Nan Yan listened quietly to his arrangements.
I originally thought that after going to Handongwei, I wouldn't have to leave the capital for a while. In addition, Zhu Feng had been assassinated before, and his body needed some time to recuperate. But I didn't expect that Ye Zheng's incident would suddenly pop up again, and no one could stop him.
Zhu Feng, on the other hand, was very clear-headed.
Although he was angry, he did not lose his mind because of Ye Zheng's death. On the contrary, after the initial heartbreak, he handled everything more calmly.
This means that no one can stop this matter.
He must seek justice for Ye Zheng.
After hearing what he said, he even made preparations on how to respond if any news came back from Japan, but Nan Yan never heard her name in his arrangements.
So, she asked softly: "Then, what about me?"
“…”
Zhu Feng paused and looked up at her.
Nan Yan said seriously: "Your Majesty, have you ever thought about taking me with you?"
“…”
Zhu Feng looked at her for a while and said, "Do you want to go with me?"
Nan Yan immediately said, "Yes!"
“…”
"No matter what danger there is, I will stay by your side and face it together!"
Hearing this, Zhu Feng sighed in his heart.
He never mentioned the arrangements for Nan Yan, not because he didn't have any arrangements.
But he also knew in his heart that Nan Yan could not be arranged by just the two words "arrange".
Over the years, no matter how strong the storm or how great the difficulties, she has always been with him. He has even become accustomed to turning around and seeing this seemingly weak but undefeated young woman standing behind him.
only--
Zhu Feng was silent for a while. Although he knew there was no need to say anything, he still said, "There is danger."
Nan Yan said, "That's perfect."
“…”
"I can share the burden with the emperor."
“…”
"If His Majesty were alone, he might take risks without thinking. With me by his side, at least His Majesty knows to be more careful, not take risks, and to take care of me!"
Hearing this completely unreasonable and twisted logic, Zhu Feng smiled bitterly in his heart.
But, isn't it because of these kinds of concerns and bonds that people are willing to persist and stay for someone no matter how many hardships and sufferings there are in this world?
Zhu Feng sighed and said, "Alright. This time, you will accompany me."
“…”
"Time is running out, you need to take care of both children. Concubine Shun is gone, and the harem——"
Nan Yan said softly, "Xinping has grown up, so I'm not worried about her. Although Chengjun is still young, he has people around him who are useful, so I will leave Tongyun to take care of him. As for the harem, Concubine Yi is much more stable than before, so I feel at ease leaving things to her."
Zhu Feng asked, "Are you only taking Ruoshui and Tingfu with you? Aren't you worried that there won't be enough people?"
Nan Yan said: "Your Majesty forgot that there is another person in the south."
“…”
When this was mentioned, Zhu Feng frowned slightly.
He didn't forget, but because he had been away for too long, and the letter sent back by Xu Shifeng didn't mention her at all, they were almost ignoring this person.
Ran Xiaoyu.
She went south with Ye Zheng and Xu Shifeng, and everyone in and outside the palace knew the relationship between her and Ye Zheng.
Zhu Feng even had the idea of arranging a marriage for them.
But I didn't expect Ye Zheng——
But, if something happened to Ye Zheng, what would happen to Ran Xiaoyu? The letter didn't mention a single word about it. He hadn't cared about it before, but now, he had noticed something strange.
Nan Yan said softly, "Xiaoyu must be sadder than anyone else when something happens to Ye Zheng."
“…”
"This time I went south, it was also for her."
Zhu Feng glanced at her, thought for a moment, and then said, "She has always been with Ye Zheng. The letter doesn't explain what happened. When I meet her, everything should be clear."
