Chapter 2556 Have you changed your mind?
"You don't have to go."
Zhu Feng said calmly, "Just wait here, we'll come back after enjoying the scenery for a while."
After saying that, he walked forward with his hands behind his back.
Although Xue Yun was still a little nervous, there was nothing he could do at this time and he could only follow forward, leaving Chen Zixiao and a few personal soldiers standing in the birch forest, staring at their backs with a solemn expression.
He suddenly said, "Yesterday, the emperor asked you to stay here while he went to the river alone?"
Among the personal guards accompanying the emperor today, two also came with the emperor yesterday.
They received twenty military sticks, but they didn't suffer any serious injuries. However, riding horses for half a day was enough to make them feel worse than death. They were secretly rubbing their buttocks from behind, but when they heard his question, they hurried forward.
"Yes, my lord."
"Yesterday, the Emperor asked us to stay here to look after the horses while he went to the river alone."
Chen Zixiao asked, "He's always been alone?"
"Look, little ones, yes."
"It got dark, and although I couldn't see clearly, if there really was someone else—for example, if the other side really sent someone over, the emperor would definitely not remain silent."
Chen Zixiao's eyes flickered for a moment, but he didn't say anything.
Gradually, the two figures walked away.
Although the road from the birch forest to the Yulian River looked short, on the grassland one often has the illusion of "running to the mountain and the horse dies", and without a horse, it took the two of them a long time to reach the river.
The sound of water gurgling was heard and the air was damp and cold.
The sun has completely sunk into the ground, leaving only a small red glow hanging in the sky. The surrounding light has dimmed. The Yulian River, which just seemed to be "full of red", is now just a jade stream shining with cold light, winding across the grassland.
Zhu Feng walked over, squatted by the river again, and scooped up a handful of water.
The cool river water soaked my palms, cooling them down, as they had been rubbed by the reins and were almost on fire.
Zhu Feng smiled and said, "That's great. You can try it too."
“…”
Xue Yun looked at Zhu Feng's back with some uneasiness.
I could only whisper, "Yes."
After saying that, he walked over, squatted down and scooped up a handful of water.
Compared to Zhu Feng and the others, whose palms were already covered with thick calluses from years of riding, she could be considered to have delicate skin and tender flesh. While others' palms were rubbed hot, she had blisters on them.
The cool river water made her feel a lot more comfortable.
But this comfort was only in his hands. Xue Yun's heart was still uneasy. After struggling for a long time, he finally couldn't help but whispered, "Your Majesty sent me to accompany you. I'm afraid you didn't just come here to enjoy the scenery, did you?"
Zhu Feng was silent for a moment, then said with a half-smile, "You are quite clever."
Xue Yun's expression immediately became cautious.
She said carefully, "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
Zhu Feng did not speak immediately, but looked at his reflection in the water. The last bit of red light from the setting sun disappeared, and the surroundings suddenly became dark.
When I looked back, the birch forest in the distance had already been swallowed up by the night.
The whole world was in darkness.
Moreover, they didn't even have a torch or a lamp in their hands, and they couldn't see their surroundings clearly at all. It was as if everything was covered by a black curtain, and it seemed as if there were only the two of them left in the world.
At this time, Zhu Feng slowly turned his head and looked at Xue Yun.
In the night, his eyes flickered.
Suddenly he asked, "Have you changed your mind about what I said before?"
