Chapter 1033: Figure in the Dark
In order to prevent herself from breaking down and crying out loud, she could only bite her fingers hard.
He looked up at Zhu Feng: "Ah..."
Why, don't you save him?
Although she couldn't utter a word, Zhu Feng could already tell what she wanted to ask from her painful expression.
I could also see her regret for the young man.
Just like myself.
but--
He said solemnly, "It's not the right time."
“…”
As Zhu Feng spoke, he looked back. At this time, Shi Yiru left behind some people to guard outside the governor's office to ensure that no one inside could escape, and he brought some people in.
Soon, some terrified shouts were heard from inside, some begging for mercy, and some cursing.
However, the bloody smell in the wind quickly suppressed all the restlessness.
Zhu Feng said: "It's not the time yet."
“…”
Now, he only has this thin and delicate woman by his side who needs his protection.
Even if he could rush over, rescue the young man, or even seize the governor's office, what he would do next would be to lure all the people from Prince Ning's Mansion over. By that time, two fists would be no match for four hands. No matter how brave he was on the battlefield, he could not defeat so many people alone.
That means we have reached a dead end.
But he can't die here!
Although he did not explain in detail, Nan Yan seemed to understand with just one sentence "It's not the time".
It's just heartbreaking.
She stood behind Zhu Feng, looking at the young official lying in a pool of blood, and could only respect him in her heart.
Then she raised her head and looked at Zhu Feng.
But in the last ray of sunset, Zhu Feng's face was calm. He did not have the angry expression that he would show when hearing about his subordinates' rebellion. Instead, he seemed very calm.
Although the setting sun was as blazing as fire, what was reflected in his eyes was a ray of calm brilliance.
Nan Yan took his hand and quickly wrote a few words -
Have questions?
Zhu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at her, a cold smile on his lips: "Did you figure it out?"
"Um!"
Nan Yan nodded heavily.
At this time, it was certainly possible to rebel against Zhu Feng under the inducement and coercion of Prince Ning, but the problem was, since the person who issued the war declaration and rebelled against Zhu Feng was Wen Ye, why was it the chief historian of Prince Ning's mansion who came to occupy the governor's office?
This doesn't make sense.
If they want to occupy the government office here, the governor and the provincial judge should come here in person. After all, the people here are their people. Even if someone really resists, the obstacles they encounter will be much smaller.
so--
Either Wen Ye was not really rebelling, or something went wrong somewhere in the process.
The two were silent for a while.
As soon as the sun sets, the sky darkens very quickly. After a while, it is already dark all around and lights can be seen being lit in houses near and far.
Zhu Feng turned around again in the night, glanced at the closed door, then took Nan Yan's hand and said, "Let's go."
"ah?"
Where to go?
"It's getting dark, it's a good time to go do something."
"Um."
Nan Yan understood very well, so she grabbed his hand and followed him forward along another path.
In the darkness, two long shadows fell to the ground.
But just as they walked out of the street, they suddenly saw a dark shadow appear in front of them and stand in front of them.
When he saw the somewhat familiar figure, Zhu Feng frowned subconsciously.
The other party said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty..."

Night falls quickly.
The gate of Prince Ning's Mansion was still closed, but from time to time, people and horses would come out from inside and rush to various places in the city under the cover of night.
At this time, several checkpoints and fortresses in the city had already fallen into their control.
The lights in Prince Ning's Mansion were still bright.
Zhu Xuan, Shi Yiru, Zhai Yun, Zhao Gan and other officials were still discussing the next plan together. The mansion was not without guards. The people who were under house arrest had to be strictly guarded, and the number of patrols in the mansion had increased several times than usual.
But, in a dark corner that no one noticed, a black shadow suddenly jumped down from the top of the wall.
Just a light touch, and then a flash.
A patrolling guard heard the sound and immediately turned around to look: "Huh?"
The guard in front hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
"I seem to hear some sound."
"Is there an assassin?"
"Should I report this to the prince?"
"Don't be so nervous. They are discussing important matters right now. If you report any disturbance to the prince, you will be scolded."
"That's right."
"Let's go to the place where they are being held first. If there's nothing wrong, forget it."
"good."
Several guards immediately walked towards the place where the officials were under house arrest.
In the west wing of Prince Ning's mansion, there were several very spacious rooms where almost a hundred people were locked up, with more than ten to twenty people in each room. Everyone was silent and sighed.
They went into another room.
The door of this room was locked and there was someone guarding it. It was more heavily guarded than other places.
When I got closer, I saw that the troublesome provincial governor was still imprisoned inside.
Suddenly, they were relieved.
The two guards at the door asked, "What happened?"
"It's okay, it's okay. I just came to check on him. Just watch him carefully. If he runs away, it will be a big deal if the prince blames him."
"Don't worry."
After the patrolmen left, the two guards at the door became even more alert.
But at this moment, suddenly, a black shadow jumped down from the eaves and landed silently.
The two men were caught off guard when they suddenly saw such a dark shadow. Before they could take action, they subconsciously wanted to scream, but the sound just got stuck in their throat when they felt a strong wind blowing on their faces, and then, their vision went black.
Two people fainted on the ground.
As soon as he heard the noise outside, Wen Ye, who was still trying to find a way to break out, immediately walked forward and subconsciously reached out to push the door, only to find that the door that was locked tightly before was actually pushed open by him in one go.
Outside, it was pitch black.
He frowned and took another step forward, then saw a tall man in black standing outside the gate. At his feet lay the two guards, unconscious.
Wen Ye immediately said vigilantly: "Are you here to save me?"
“…”
"Who are you?"
As he spoke, he looked at the other person and clenched his fists vigilantly.
At this time, although it seemed that the person in front of him had released him, in this situation, he did not dare to trust anyone easily.
But the other party was very silent.
Those eyes sparkled brightly in the darkness, and he suddenly felt as if he was facing a lone wolf in the darkness.
