Chapter 3644 This is not the place where he fell
The wind is stronger than before.
The howling north wind swept across the snow on the ground, rolling up countless white snow foams and hitting people's faces. For a moment, the wind seemed to have a shape, like a sharp and cold blade, blowing many people to sway their bodies.
However, when Zhu Feng was riding on the horse, his back was straighter than a javelin.
He could be said to have been "living a life of luxury" over the years, but such a comfortable life did not wear down his will at all. Even though his temperament had become increasingly peaceful in recent years, and sometimes he even had the demeanor of a benevolent monarch or a loving father, once he was on the battlefield, those peaceful eyes suddenly burst into a sharp gleam, and the way he calmly rode on horseback was like a strong bow ready to be fired.
Waiting to shoot at the enemy at any time.
At this moment, countless black spots have faintly appeared on the distant horizon, and the increasingly rapid sound of horse hooves can be clearly heard in the wind, beating in everyone's ears like drumbeats.
It's the cavalry of the Dian State, and they are charging towards them!
At this time, Deputy General Tang Jichen had one hand on the hilt of the long sword at his waist. His eyes were red with excitement because of the upcoming battle. He whispered: "Your Majesty——"
Zhu Feng just raised his hand lightly.
Originally, everyone around was ready to go, but seeing His Majesty the Emperor like this, they immediately stopped and sat down on their horses which were also very excited and almost ready to rush out at any time.
Why, don't you rush yet?
Everyone was looking at the black spot that was getting closer and closer in front of them, and at the same time looking at His Majesty the Emperor who remained as still as a mountain. Logically speaking, he came here in person and even ignored Lord Ying Shao's dissuasion, so he must have wanted to fight this battle. Why didn't he let everyone take action now?
Even so, no one dared to be negligent.
After all, the enemy is already ahead. Regardless of whether the emperor gives an order or not, they cannot just sit there and wait to die. On the contrary, the closer the enemy gets, the more vigilant they should be.
With this in mind, everyone gathered their strength, staring intently at the soldiers from the Dian Kingdom who were getting closer and closer. Their hands, veins bulging from excessive tension and exertion, were pressed on the hilts of their swords.
Although the war is not imminent, everyone is like a taut bowstring.
A critical moment.
Soon, the Dian cavalry came roaring in, only a shot away from them.
Tang Jichen couldn't hold back any longer and whispered, "Your Majesty!"
The distance between them was already so close, but Zhu Feng had not yet given the order to reunite. Once the cavalry of the Dang Kingdom started shooting arrows, the people here would become living targets.
However, Zhu Feng still said nothing.
The cavalry of the Dian State on the opposite side did not shoot any arrows. They were still riding on their horses, rushing towards this side with a roar.
They don't even have archers?
When fighting on the grassland, although cavalry is the main force, the presence of archers is also very important, especially since the people of Neng are proficient in riding and shooting. These two skills complement each other, but this time they did not use bows and arrows as an attack at all.
And now that the distance was getting closer, Zhu Feng could clearly see that there were about four to five thousand people coming this time. Either the soldiers' previous investigation was wrong, or they were still holding back.
But even if there were only four or five thousand people, the cavalry galloping towards them still looked like a dark cloud.
The snowflakes stirred up by the horses' hooves were blown directly into their faces by the wind.
Tang Jichen's eyes turned red.
Just when he was about to lose control of his temper, he finally heard the Emperor in front of him give the order: "Kill!"
Although the sound was not loud, it was like a muffled thunder on the grassland where the north wind was howling, rolling through the hearts of every soldier. Everyone felt their bones and muscles go numb, and the strength that had been restrained in their bodies suddenly burst out as if a needle had pierced their skin. They immediately roared, waving the sharp swords in their hands and rushed forward!

Looking at the rusty red color, Nan Yan's eyes slowly turned red.
"ah!"
A quick low cry came from behind. Nan Yan turned around and saw Aunt Tongyun. She had obviously also seen the rusty red pool on the ground and was startled. She was about to look up and say something to Nan Yan, but when she saw Nan Yan's gloomy face, she trembled suddenly.
"Your Majesty..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw Nan Yan step on it with her toes and crush it hard twice.
The rusty red snow foam immediately disappeared without a trace.
Nan Yan turned around and looked at her, saying lightly: "There are some things you shouldn't see, and you shouldn't say too much."
Aunt Tongyun suddenly felt that she couldn't breathe, as if an invisible hand had suddenly strangled her throat.
She had been with Nan Yan for longer than Ran Xiaoyu, Nan Yan's most trusted confidant. Although they were master and servant, Nan Yan always treated her like a family member. In all these years, he had never seen Nan Yan look at her with such an almost murderous look.
Aunt Tongyun didn't dare to breathe, her throat was choked for a long time, and she said in a hoarse voice: "This servant... understands."
Nan Yan then frowned and turned to walk to the other side.
But after taking two steps, she seemed unable to let go and stopped again.
Aunt Tongyun followed behind her, not daring to breathe.
After a long while, Nan Yan was heard to say in a low voice: "Is there any way to remedy this?"
“…”
Aunt Tongyun was afraid that if she said one more word, she would be killed. But when the imperial concubine spoke, she did not dare to answer, let alone not answer. After hesitating for a long time, she said in a very low voice: "If you can rest well--"
Before she finished speaking, she heard Nan Yan say, "I know."
These words were like a knife, cutting off all the words she hadn't said yet.
Aunt Tongyun didn't dare to speak anymore.
Nan Yan sat back in the tent. Although there was a blazing bonfire in front of her and hot soup brought to her by Delu, her face was pale, her eyes were blank, and she was as cold as an ice sculpture.
After a while, Ying Shao arranged everything and returned to the tent to receive orders.
Nan Yan was silent for a while, and suddenly felt a cold wind blowing, which almost blew the campfire to the ground. She couldn't help but look up and look towards the vast north, which was a vast snowfield. Naturally, she couldn't see Zhu Feng's figure.
She whispered, "The fight has already started..."
Ying Shao thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured. Although the left and right wings have not yet united, His Majesty the Emperor is the Son of Heaven. He has been fighting in the Northern Territory for years and his divine power is invincible. He will surely return victorious."
“…”
Nan Yan was silent for a moment before she slowly said, "Of course I know that the Emperor will return victorious."
“…”
"How could he allow himself to fall here?"
“…”
"This isn't where he fell."
