Chapter 3537 Injuring his ten fingers is worse than breaking one of his fingers
Zhu Feng said: "War outside the city, but she doesn't leave the city, what are she afraid of?"
When Xinping heard this, his eyes lit up.
She hurriedly stood up and rushed to Zhu Feng, grabbed his arm and said, "Father said that, can Yingerchen go to the city tower to see?"
Zhu Feng looked down at her, and there seemed to be a faint smile in the fine lines at the corners of his eyes: "Are you going?"
Xinping immediately nodded like pounding garlic: "I want it!"
Zhu Feng laughed.
Nan Yan couldn't sit still and immediately said, "You really want her to go?"
Zhu Feng reached out and pinched the back of his daughter's neck, and said as if he was stroking a big cat, "Don't worry, it's not that she was letting her go there alone. I'll go with her. Anyway, I haven't been to see what's going on there in the past two days."
Xinping said in surprise: "The father and the sons accompany me to go there? That's great! When will we set off?"
Zhu Feng said: "Just now."
"Now?"
He was calm and surprised and happy, and couldn't wait to drag Zhu Feng's arm out, and he had completely forgotten to sit behind his mother, who was not very good-looking.
Zhu Feng took a look.
It was almost dusk at this time. Before the lights were too late in the room, the light was already a little dim. Nan Yan sat on the chair with expressionless expression, like a demon god, which made people feel a little scared.
Zhu Feng also knew that she was going to hit someone just now because the princess ran around, and now she was going to take the princess out. This move was like slapping the imperial concubine in the face. No wonder she looked so ugly.
So he said, "You—"
Before he finished speaking, Nan Yan said, "I'm going too."
Zhu Feng and Xinping both looked at her and said in surprise: "Mother, are you going too?"
Nan Yan said coldly: "Why, you are allowed to go, aren't you allowed to go?"
Xinping immediately realized that the smell of this was wrong, and shrank his neck and did not dare to say anything. Zhu Feng seemed to be a little angry when he saw her like this. He just smiled and said, "The Imperial Concubine is going, so let's go together."
Nanyan glared at him.
Zhu Feng didn't say anything, and immediately asked someone to go down to prepare the car. After a while, a team of Jinyi Guards were guarding them, and they left the South Courtyard and headed south.
Along the way, there was no vocals outside.
Since the war officially started, Zhu Feng has stipulated that a nightly curfew is imposed in Yongzhou City. Once the city gate is closed at Xu time, the people in the city can no longer walk on the streets. In this way, it will naturally avoid panic among the people in the city in case of war, and it will also facilitate the dispatch of the city at any time.
Now, they are walking on the road in a carriage and in a group of people, without any obstacles.
At this time, after dinner, Nanyan had to let the princess go to bed, but now, Xinping was sitting in the carriage with her knees in her arms, her eyes as bright as two lamps, and from time to time she looked outside through the curtains blown by the wind. If she hadn't looked at Nanyan's face, she would have wished half of her body would have poked out of the window to see what was happening outside.
Zhu Feng said: "You can't run around later."
He said obediently: "I know it."
The street was quiet. Even if people living on both sides of the street heard the sound of carriages and horses on the road, no one dared to open the window and look out casually. The only sound of their carriage driving was left on the whole street, and the neat footsteps of the guards trotting on both sides.
Xinping listened to the sound outside, looked at her father and mother, and they were sitting still and closed their eyes to rest, but she couldn't calm down. She reached out to hold Zhu Feng's sleeve and pulled it gently. Zhu Feng opened his eyes and looked at her: "Hmm?"
Xinping whispered: "Father, why have you fought so many battles recently?"
Zhu Feng said: "Didn't you know about the war from the beginning?"
"I know, my son knows it."
Xinping said with her fingers: "But, I count the war reports I received in the mansion every day. In the past ten days, I fought twenty-three times outside. Whether I was studying, listening to people's stories, or following my father and mother's knowledge over the years, I have never seen a war so closely fought, and I have to fight twice a day."
Zhu Feng looked at her and said calmly: "What's wrong with this?"
He said seriously: "I often heard that it is better to cut off one finger than to hurt his ten fingers. In war, shouldn't we concentrate our troops to eliminate the enemy? Before, the father had to fight in the northwest, and he had to fight for one day and dispatch tens of thousands of troops; but this time, he fought for more than ten days, and he could not dispatch thousands of troops each time. If this continues, wouldn't he waste troops and food and supplies, but he could not defeat the other side?"
Hearing these words, Nan Yan also opened her eyes, looked at her daughter, and then looked at Zhu Feng.
Zhu Feng also looked at her and smiled a little on his lips.
"You understand this."
He straightened his back and said, "Of course I understand!"
Zhu Feng reached out to touch the top of her head and poked her forehead again: "It's a pity that I know the reason but not the reason."
Xinping opened his eyes wide: "I don't know what my son still has?"
Zhu Feng smiled faintly and said, "When you go over and take a look at the city tower, you will know."
When Xinping saw his mysterious appearance, he didn't intend to tell him, and he pouted in a disgust, but at least he still wanted to take her to the city tower to see the situation, so she also said softly: "Okay."
After saying that, he lay down on the window and saw through the curtains how long it was.
Zhu Feng turned around and looked at Nanyan, and whispered with a lip, "I'm not stupid."
Nan Yan had a calm face all the way, and at this time he couldn't help but pursed his lips. A smile suddenly appeared on his face, but he still ignored Zhu Feng and just closed his eyes to continue to calm down.
After a while, their carriage finally arrived at the South City Gate.
The soldiers here had just received news that His Majesty the Emperor brought the imperial concubine and the princess to inspect. However, due to the special circumstances, they did not all go to the city gate to pick them up. Only the city guard general Zhang Xu led a team of people to pick them up.
Zhu Feng got off the carriage first, looked at them only, and said lightly: "How is the situation today?"
Zhang Xu knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "If you go back to the emperor, there is no major problem in the city gate today. General Xiang sent troops twice, both outside the steep north slope."
Zhu Feng nodded, and said nothing more, and took Nanyan and Xinping to the city tower.
Although the city gate was not invaded by war, after all, His Majesty the Emperor brought the imperial concubine and the princess, the soldiers on the city tower were still nervously on guard. Instead, as soon as they climbed the city tower, they couldn't wait to climb a wall, and stood on tiptoe to look south.
At this time, the sun had just set.
There is still a little residual orange-red sunset on the horizon. Although it cannot illuminate the city tower here, it can illuminate the mountains and forests in the distance. When I see it calmly, countless smoke pillars emerge from the ground and slowly extend towards the sky.
