Chapter 1653: Inside the Hot Moon
After hearing what Li Lai said, she smiled and said, "However, your foot injury hasn't healed yet, and your throat is in this condition. It's not a good idea to go on the road like this."
"this--"
"The Emperor loves his people like his own children, and he absolutely cannot let you leave like this."
“…”
"You should stay in this Duwei Mansion and recuperate peacefully. We'll talk about it after you recover."
“…”
"Besides, the emperor has ordered the imperial physician to speed up the treatment of Ye Zheng. Maybe he will wake up in two days. You can thank him in person, right?"
Hearing her say this, Li Lai naturally didn't dare to say anything else.
He just knelt down again and expressed his gratitude profusely.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you for the Emperor's grace."
"Get up."
Nan Yan smiled faintly and said, "I've already said it, no need to be polite."
Li Lai stood up and said with regret, "I only regret that I am powerless and cannot kill the enemy for the emperor and the queen."
“…”
When Nan Yan heard this, her heart moved slightly.
She smiled and said, "If you want to be loyal to the Emperor, you don't necessarily have to kill the enemy."
“…”
"There are so many ways to achieve merit in this world, aren't there?"
Li Lai raised his head and looked at her: "Your Majesty, are you saying—"
At this point, Nan Yan smiled again and said, "Well, you don't have to think too much. I was born with talents that will be useful. If you are willing to be loyal to the emperor, there will naturally be things you can do."
“…”
"Now, you just need to heal your injuries well."
Li Lai lowered his head and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Nan Yan nodded at him and turned away.
Li Lai stood there, his eyes becoming very deep, watching Nan Yan's back disappear in front of him, then turned around and limped back to his room.
And on the other side of the wasteland——
Inside the hot moon.
It is almost identical to the survey and speculation of Gu Yiyou and Tong Sinian. The terrain inside the Thermidor Crescent was indeed formed by floods in the early years. There are countless gullies and rugged rocks inside. Even walking inside in broad daylight is like walking in a dark hell.
However, after walking through a long corridor that looked like a passage to hell, I felt that the view in front of me suddenly became clear. There was a huge rift above my head, and the sun shone down.
An underground river flows through the valley of this river.
Above your head, there is a huge rift valley, and below your feet, there are long and rugged cracks with rivers rushing and flowing.
On this side of the bridge is a barracks.
The last time, after Ye Zheng led his troops to destroy the first garrison, which was also a grain storage point, the defenses in various places in Hot Moon Bay were strengthened.
Originally, there were only a few people guarding this side of the bridge, but now, not only has it become a garrison, but even on the wide bridge deck, there is a bandit standing guard every few dozen steps.
The other side of the bridge——
It was also a huge camp, but it was deeply sunken in a valley.
The sunlight could not shine in, and only two lights could be vaguely seen there, like the eyes of a tiger crawling in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to hunt, flashing with green light.
Chilling.
There is the base camp of Thermidor.
This place is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and with a large number of troops under his command, the bandit leader of Reyuewan has become a local emperor.
At this moment, the bandit leader Wu Lun was sitting above the lobby.
He had a face full of whiskers, and his facial features were almost invisible. His eyes, red from being soaked in alcohol, revealed the ferocity of a tiger.
He asked in a deep voice, "Why hasn't there been any news yet?"
