Chapter 240: Simply, I Want to Eat You
Zhu Feng gave them a cold look, and the generals came back to their senses and hurriedly retreated in an orderly manner. Zhu Feng said calmly, "We'll talk about this later."
“…”
"You all return to your camps and settle your people."
"yes!"
The generals were puzzled, but they dared not disobey the emperor's order and all left the tent.
Zhu Feng turned around and looked at them again.
Obviously, Ye Zheng didn't understand what was going on, but he was calmer than the generals before him. Only then did he carefully ask, "Your Majesty, this—"
Zhu Feng said, "Ye Zheng, go down and prepare. I want to return to Nanjing."
"……yes."
Knowing that he was not going to say anything, Ye Zheng did not dare to delay and hurried out.
Only Jian Ruocheng and Nan Yan were left. Nan Yan's mind was in a turmoil at this time. Everything happened too fast. Before she could figure it out, she heard Jian Ruocheng say to Zhu Feng without waiting for instructions: "Since the emperor is preparing to return to the capital, I will also go down to prepare."
Zhu Feng said calmly, "Go ahead."
He turned and left. Before leaving, he smiled knowingly and nodded slightly at Nan Yan.
This time, Nan Yan was completely confused.
What on earth happened? Someone tell her!
She was the only one left in the tent, with no one in front of her, so she was completely exposed to Zhu Feng's gaze. She felt that her frail body was about to be seen through by his sharp eyes.
Finally unable to contain herself, she whispered, "Your Majesty..."
At this moment, the servant's voice was heard outside the door again.
"Your Majesty, Lord Cui requests an audience."
Before Nan Yan could react, she heard Zhu Feng respond and a familiar figure walked in from outside.
Choi Won Mi!
She suddenly remembered that since leaving Nan'an Town, everyone around Zhu Feng, from Ye Zheng to Jian Ruocheng, had disappeared. Of course, these two people appeared one after another later, but this Lord Cui Yuanmei was still missing.
Until now, he has not appeared.
Nan Yan suddenly felt that what happened today seemed to be related to him.
He walked in and kowtowed respectfully to Zhu Feng. Seeing him, Zhu Feng's expression eased a little and he said, "You're back."
"I, your humble servant, have come to report."
"How's the situation in Yue?"
"I was in Yue territory when I received the emperor's order to negotiate peace. I immediately went to see their Prime Minister Chen Biri. Although the new emperor of Yue was only a puppet, Chen Biri was a rival to Xiahou Jiu. He started making small moves behind the scenes, so Xiahou Jiu didn't dare to move."
As soon as he finished speaking, Nan Yan, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but let out a low sigh of "Oh".
Zhu Feng glared at her and Nan Yan immediately covered her mouth.
Cui Yuanmei also looked back, a slight smile appearing on his wrinkled face. Zhu Feng said, "You conquered the enemy without fighting. You've worked hard on this trip."
"This is the will of the Emperor. The best military strategy is to defeat the enemy's plans, and the next best is to defeat their diplomatic relations. I am grateful to the Emperor for resolving the conflict through diplomatic means without bloodshed."
"Go down and rest. I will return to Nanjing tomorrow."
"yes."
Cui Yuanmei bowed respectfully and smiled at Nan Yan before leaving.
Then he left too.
Now, they were the only two people left in the tent.
For some reason, although the matter was resolved, Nan Yan felt that the oppressive aura of Zhu Feng, who was sitting right in front of her, was even more frightening.
It's like he's going to eat me.
