Chapter 2535 Strange Attitude
The further west you go, the stronger the wind and sand become.
Zhu Feng's original plan was to advance at full speed, but he encountered sandstorms for two consecutive days, which delayed his trip.
Finally, this day came with clear weather and no wind. Although the sun was shining directly on our heads, it was not as scorching hot as before. So, the team set out early in the morning before daybreak.
Xue Yun got up very early. While the people outside were still getting ready, she had already gotten up and washed up. When everyone was walking out, she was already standing in front of her carriage.
But he didn't get on the bus immediately.
Instead, they waited respectfully for the emperor to come out and walked towards his golden carriage.
During this time, Zhu Feng glanced around.
Saw her too.
Xue Yun's heart couldn't help but skip a beat, but his face showed no expression. He just lowered his head immediately.
She still didn't dare to look Zhu Feng in the eye.
After all, no matter who it was, if they rejected the emperor's "good intentions", they would probably want to escape as far away as possible, but she - of course it was impossible for her to escape, and she had to follow the team and go on the road every day.
However, only she knew the torment in her heart. She could hardly sleep these past few days.
However, Zhu Feng's attitude was a little strange.
Logically speaking, if the emperor really wanted to take a concubine, he would not have to ask. After all, not everyone has the opportunity to become a phoenix. I am afraid that more than 90% of women in the world are eagerly waiting for it.
But he just came to ask.
He didn't say anything when asked, and he politely but firmly refused.
Recalling that night, under the illumination of the crimson candlelight, after hearing her say "I dare not, I am unwilling, I cannot", a light seemed to flash in Zhu Feng's eyes.
But it was fleeting.
Xue Yun didn't even have time to see clearly whether the light contained regret, anger, or some other emotion.
When Zhu Feng spoke again and asked him to leave, there was no emotion in his words.
During these two days, he was doing things as usual and did not make things difficult for himself, as if the incident was just a dream of Xue Yun and had never really happened.
Just like now——
Zhu Feng's eyes swept over her calmly without any emotion, and he just turned around and got on the golden carriage.
When the emperor sat down, Xiao Shunzi immediately gave the order: "Set off."
Xue Yun calmed himself down and climbed onto the carriage in a hurry.
Soon, the team left the post station and continued to move forward.
Zhu Feng sat in the golden carriage, not idle either. He held a map in his hand and looked at it carefully, then took in the surrounding scenery. Although the map had little to do with the surrounding scenery, he still asked, "This place should be not far from Handongwei, right?"
Ying Shao, who rode his horse beside the golden carriage, said, "Your Majesty, we are not far away."
After he finished speaking, he thought for a moment and then asked, "Your Majesty, are you really not going to send someone to tell Master Chen in advance?"
The "Mr. Chen" he mentioned was naturally referring to Chen Zixiao, the commander of the Handong Guard.
His Majesty the Emperor's eldest cousin.
Zhu Feng said calmly, "No need."
"Why?"
"I was thinking of going over to see the Handong Guard's deployment. If you tell me in advance, I won't be able to see it."
Ying Shao blinked and immediately understood.
Just as he was about to urge the people around him to speed up, he suddenly saw a group of people and horses stopped on the road ahead, with flags fluttering in the wind.
I was stunned for a moment: "Huh?"
Zhu Feng asked, "What's wrong?"
Ying Shao said, "Your Majesty, Lord Chen's support troops have arrived."
