Chapter 3646 He Wants to Drag Me to Death
Seeing Nan Yan's expression, which was obviously stunned by these words, Zhu Feng couldn't help but chuckle. With a hint of disdain, he said, "You've been following me for quite a while. Why are you still making such a fuss?"
“…”
Nan Yan swallowed subconsciously and frowned as she sorted out her thoughts.
What Zhu Feng just said was - Monk, the time is up.
She understood every word of these words, and she also knew what they meant when they were put together. However, when she heard them suddenly at this moment, she felt a little bit unbelievable.
She thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "How did the emperor know?"
“…”
"Aren't there only a few of the secret agents the Emperor has planted in Kulun City left?"
She was very clear about this, because in recent years, after experiencing the defection of Yan Ye and Xiu Yun, as well as the feud with Arslan, Monk's temperament changed drastically, and he implemented an iron-blooded policy within the country of Dian. Almost all the secret agents that Zhu Feng had previously planted in Kulun City were pulled out overnight, and the few remaining ones did not dare to move for the time being.
Therefore, in the past few years, they have hardly received any news from the court of the Kingdom of Dian.
How did Zhu Feng know that Monk’s time was up?
Zhu Feng said, "Look at his actions this time, can't you see it?"
“…”
"In fact, he knows very well in his heart that there will be a final score between him and me sooner or later. Maybe it will be on the battlefield, or maybe it will be in our calculations."
Nan Yan frowned and said, "Your Majesty, are you saying that he has been plotting against you ever since this expedition?"
"good,"
Speaking of being "plotted against," Zhu Feng seemed remarkably calm. He spoke calmly and clearly, "This time, when we first arrived at the Great Wall, he suddenly launched a surprise attack. A surprise attack isn't unusual in itself. What's unusual is that he should have received the battle report long ago and knew I was leading my army to the Great Wall. Yet, he suddenly launched a surprise attack at this moment. It's quite strange."
Nan Yan said, "He wanted to attract the emperor's attention."
At this point, she suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "Also, although this surprise attack came suddenly, it lasted a long time. It seemed like they were deliberately waiting for the emperor to come. And that—"
Nan Yan stopped subconsciously.
Zhu Feng's face was also covered with a layer of gloom, but he still said coldly: "Naqin, Mengke sent Naqin here on purpose. He knew that Naqin could not kill me, but Naqin's purpose was not to kill me, but to provoke me."
Nan Yan subconsciously clenched her fists.
Indeed, Zhu Feng, who was seriously injured that year but still managed to pull the divine arm bow and kill the first warrior of the Dang Kingdom with one arrow, needed the power of three arrows to kill Na Qin this time. This really dealt a great blow to Zhu Feng. It was also after that that Zhu Feng immediately pursued the Dang Kingdom soldiers who came to raid the Great Wall Moat.
Zhu Feng said, "Then, there's that Makouzi. He had the group stop and go along the way, deliberately leaving various footprints so that we could chase them all the way to Makouzi. They didn't do such a despicable thing there to poison me."
Nan Yan said: "It's still a provocation."
Zhu Feng said: "Not bad."
“…”
"Not only that, he also revealed the truth to me in that place."
“…”
"He hates me to the core. If he wanted my life, he could have sent out a large army to fight me to the death. But he used these tactics to lure me deep into the heart of the grasslands and never launched a major attack. There is only one reason."
Nan Yan's voice trembled slightly as she spoke, "Because his time is up. For the sake of the stability of the entire Neng Kingdom, he dared not rashly deploy his main force at this time, lest there be any unrest in the army."
Zhu Feng said: "Not bad."
Nan Yan frowned and said, "If his time is really coming to an end, he can just stay in Kulun City and arrange his funeral peacefully. Why did he do this?"
Zhu Feng said, "If my guess is correct, he is no longer in Kulun City."
Nan Yan opened her eyes wide: "What?"
Zhu Feng glanced at him and said, "He should be well aware that I have seen through every checkpoint he has set up along the way. Without the main force of the Neng Kingdom blocking us, we will soon reach Kulun City. If we really confront him head-on, he will not achieve his desired goal. Therefore, what he must do is to leave Kulun City and head further north, to a colder place."
“…”
"And lead me further north, to a colder place."
This time, Nan Yan felt a chill rising from her heart, quickly enveloping her entire body. Her hands and feet were icy cold, as if she were in an icy cave, and even her heartbeat had frozen solid and stopped.
After a long silence, she said in a hoarse voice: "He wants to use the last period of his life to delay-"
Zhu Feng looked at her and said word by word, "He wants to kill me."
“……!”
For some reason, Nan Yan felt that she could accept the even more brutal fighting on the battlefield. However, the words "dragged to death" from Zhu Feng's mouth were like the sharpest weapon, piercing her heart all at once.
It made her feel indescribably uncomfortable.
Nan Yan clenched her fists tightly. Perhaps because her fingers were frozen, the crackling sound from her knuckles was like ice breaking. She gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice, "Since the Emperor knew he had such plans, why did he continue to pursue him and march northward?"
“…”
"If he wants to die, let him die."
Zhu Feng was so calm that not even his eyelashes trembled as he said calmly, "What I just said about the impending end was based on the premise that he couldn't rest and recuperate."
"also?"
Nan Yan repeated the word.
Her eyes burned like flames as she stared at Zhu Feng, as if she wanted to see through him. Zhu Feng glanced at her, remaining calm. "You wanted me to tell you the truth, and now that I've done it, are you going to embarrass me again?"
Nan Yan's eyes were burned red by herself.
She said, "So, the emperor is now confronting him."
“…”
"Let's see who can hold out to the end, and who can drag the other to death?"
Zhu Feng suddenly chuckled.
This smile seemed to contain some contempt. He said, "I have been confronting him all my life, hoping to defeat him. But I never thought that in the end, we might not be able to defeat him at all. In the end, we can only hope to drag him to death."
Nan Yan said: "I still don't understand why you have to use this method."
Zhu Feng did not explain immediately, but picked up a piece of dry wood from the ground. He held one end and used the other end to draw on a layer of light snow foam on the ground.
It was just a few strokes, but Nan Yan had seen maps countless times and could immediately tell that he was drawing a map of the territory of the Great Yan Dynasty.
Zhu Feng finished drawing and pointed at the map of the territory, saying, "This is the world I leave for the Crown Prince."
