Zhu Feng said: "He doesn't want to fight, he wants to me."

“…”

Nanyan didn't say anything for a moment.

She seemed to understand this sentence, but she didn't. Mengke and Zhu Feng said that they had been opponents for decades. They wanted to kill each other at all times, such as sowing discord, watching tiger fights, and even sending troops to raid, sneak attacks, and poisoning, which are just means to fulfill this long-cherished wish.

Therefore, it is completely unnecessary to say that he intends to Zhu Feng.

But, I don't want to fight...

Although I haven't fully understood the meaning of these words, Nan Yan's heart was already intuitively covered with a layer of uneasy shade.

She thought for a while and asked, "What will the emperor plan to do next?"

Zhu Feng looked around and said, "Stay a little while and keep chasing."

"I still have to chase?"

The uneasy darkness in Nanyan's heart became deeper after hearing this sentence. When Zhu Feng heard her seemingly inappropriate response, he only glanced at her indifferently and said, "Why, do you think I was just a joke this time? When I met a pond that was passive, I would go home? Do you think military affairs are too ridiculous?"

Nan Yan immediately said: "I don't mean this. It's just that Monk-"

Before she could finish her words, Yingshao had already left and returned.

He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, my husband has already sent orders, and the soldiers no longer collect water from this pond. Then—"

Zhu Feng said: "Stay on the spot and let the scouts continue to look for traces of that group of people and set off in a quarter of an hour."

Yingshao opened his eyes wide: "Master, do you still want to continue?"

His expression and attitude were almost exactly the same as Nan Yan.

When Zhu Feng looked at him again, his eyes were obviously not as patient as when he looked at Nanyan, and he was obviously infected with a little anger. He said coldly: "There is no joke in the army. Yingshao, have you returned to life at this age?"

Yingshao immediately knelt down: "I dare not. Just--"

Zhu Feng said: "Nothing is just."

Nan Yan whispered from the side: "Your Majesty, listen to both sides and you will understand. Let Lord Ying finish his words."

Zhu Feng glared at her, and with the "support" of the imperial concubine, Ying Shao seemed to be a little more courageous. He really continued to speak and said softly: "Your Majesty, I don't think it's appropriate to continue chasing."

Zhu Feng had already turned his back and stopped looking at him.

Nan Yan looked at Yingshao and said, "You can explain clearly why it is not appropriate to continue chasing."

Yingshao said: "There are three reasons. First, the nearest water source nearby is this horse button. Now that people have been tampered with it, the water carried by the army is almost exhausted. If we want to go north, we can only use the ice and snow on the ground to boil water for drinking. In this way, the trip will slow down. The other party must have carried enough water to dare to attack the horse button. The possibility of us chasing the other party is very low."

Nanyan nodded and continued, "What is the second point?"

Yingshao said: "Secondly, after we walked for a few days, we were almost going deep into the hinterland of the grassland, but the two armies sent by the emperor have not yet been closed, and on the grassland in winter, it is difficult to distinguish the direction. The possibility of them being able to meet with us as scheduled is not high. If we meet the main force of the country, our situation will be very dangerous."

Nan Yan's eyebrows were twisted into a lump.

She thought for a while and then asked, "What is the third one?"

Yingshao did not answer immediately, but looked up at Zhu Feng with his hands behind his back, his slightly collapsed shoulders, then lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "The third is that we may very likely meet the main force of the country."

Nanyan immediately said: "Why?"

Yingshao said: "While the people of the Neng country knew it was a sneak attack, they delayed the evacuation time and did not destroy their traces along the way. They were guiding us to pursue and still tamper with horse buttons. They were obviously fishing us all the way. In this case, they are very likely to send the main force to fight us."

Nan Yan nodded. In fact, these three points were what she thought after seeing the horse button passively. It was only Yingshao could list them one by one more clearly. She immediately turned around and said to Zhu Feng: "Your Majesty, Lord Ying's words are reasonable."

Zhu Feng still turned his back to them with his hands behind his back and said heavily: "No."

Both of them looked at him in confusion: "What can't you do?"

Zhu Feng said: "We will not meet the main force of the country."

Nan Yan and Yingshao couldn't help but look at each other.

If all this was done by Munch, then he had successfully fished Zhu Feng out of the Great Wall moat and successfully caught him in the hinterland of the grassland. If the main force was not sent to fight them at this time, then why is this hard work?

Moreover, after destroying a water source, the pond of Maguzi has almost no effect on the people in the Great Wall Moat, but it is crucial to living on the grassland, especially those who want to drink horses. Isn’t it worth the loss?

Nan Yan thought for a while and said, "If we can't meet the main force of the Neng Kingdom as the emperor said, but we are just chasing the small group of people who raided the Great Wall Mound, why should we continue?"

Zhu Feng glanced at her and said nothing.

Nan Yan said: "Just for that team of men, there is no need for the emperor to personally lead the army. Is this a big battle?"

Yingshao also said: "Emperor, Weichen and the Imperial Concubine are all thinking about the Emperor's safety."

Zhu Feng looked at them silently, and the faint anger on his face slowly dissipated. After a while, he seemed to sigh and said, "Continue to pursue according to the original plan. Yingshao, please send the order and let the scouts immediately investigate the traces of the team of people, and do not make any mistakes."

This time, Yingshao also hesitated: "Emperor..."

Zhu Feng said: "I know what you are worried about, but I have my reasons for this."

Nan Yan immediately said, "What is it?"

Zhu Feng said: "Let go first, and I will naturally tell you when the time comes."

Seeing that he could no longer persuade him like this, Nan Yan and Yingshao could not really go against the emperor's will, so they could only send orders. The group rested by the horse-button pond for a while, boiled water with ice and snow to drink horses, and each of them drank full, filled their own water bags, and then they set off again and continued to pursue northwards.

Before leaving, Zhu Feng unfolded the sheepskin map, pulled out a short knife from Ying Shao's body, and plucked the tip of the knife, and cut off the circle representing the horse button from the map.

He put away the map and ordered: "Send the order. Within three years, soldiers of Yan Kingdom will not be allowed to approach this pond to get water."

Yingshao said: "Yes."

Nan Yan looked back with a lot of worries.

The pond is still so clear, reflecting the blue sky, like a crystal clear sapphire in the snow, but no one would have thought that under such a beautiful scenery, there was such a deep murderous intent hidden.
