Chapter 467 There is someone in his heart that he has not let go of
Now that the weather is getting warmer, it will be much smoother when traveling.
Chu Yan led an army of 100,000 and marched towards the northwest in a mighty manner.
Except for Lord Lu Zhen and his three hundred elite soldiers and one hundred thousand troops, everyone else followed Chu Yan to the northwest.
It takes nearly a month to travel from Chunan to the northwest.
On this day, after traveling for ten days, Chu Yan's army was resting in the evening when they received a secret letter from Yan Shu and others who had already arrived in the northwest.
Explain to Chu Yan the current situation in the northwestern border town.
The letter said that there were no longer any citizens of the Great Chu in the northwestern border city, as they had all been driven out by the people of the Nanyue Kingdom.
He also said that it was not Nan Rufeng who was guarding the northwest.
It is said that he was attacked, and Nan Ruxi took his place and dispatched heavy troops to guard the place.
Chu Yan, Mu Ningyuan, Shen Yindi and others sat together in their tent to discuss.
Shen Yindi asked thoughtfully, "Your Highness, you said that the King of Nanyue suddenly transferred Nan Rufeng back and said that he was attacked. He must not trust him, right?"
"I don't know whether it's true that he was attacked or not?"
Chu Yan did not deny it: "This is probably the reason. First, Nan Rufeng is not favored by the King of Nanyue. Second, he is married to Yao'er, so it is reasonable for the King of Nanyue to worry that he has ulterior motives."
Chu Yun was a little worried: "In this case, will the King of Nanyue use Yao'er as a hostage to force us to withdraw our troops?"
Si Qi couldn't understand all the twists and turns. She was not good at these brain-burning things. She could only sit beside and listen carefully.
Shen Yindi nodded: "Sister Yun's worries are not unreasonable, but the King of Nanyue's treatment of Nan Rufeng is also pushing him to our side."
"When we get to the northwest, we can try to find Nan Rufeng and find out what he thinks."
Chu Yan felt that his princess was indeed a woman of both talent and beauty.
I can think of solutions very quickly.
He nodded and said, "Adi is right. Since Yu Ruoyang can join forces with the King of Nanyue, why can't I find one too?"
"If Nan Rufeng has no ambitions towards our Great Chu in the future, it will also be beneficial to our Great Chu if he takes power."
"That's right. Nan Rufeng doesn't look like a sinister or cunning person. It would be best if he is willing to cooperate with us. If not, we don't have to force him." Shen Yindi added.
"Even without him, I will still win this battle!" Chu Yan was confident.
Not to mention that he is in his prime now, he has so many helpers around him.
Seeing that her third brother was so confident, Chu Yun felt more at ease.
At this time, Si Qi was unwilling to remain silent: "When I get to the northwest, I will go to the capital of Nanyue to find A Yao and see how she is doing. If Nan Rufeng dares to bully her, I will beat him up directly."
"I'll go too!" Lin Shuya also responded actively.
She and Chu Yao were the earliest close friends, and she had always been concerned about her situation.
It's a rare opportunity for me to go to the border town this time. Since I'm close to her, I must go and see her.
"Okay, I'll go too when the time comes!" Shen Yindi said.
How could she be left out of such a thing?
"Okay! It's settled then!" Si Qi instantly became interested.
When Chu Yao left the imperial capital, they said they would visit her when they had the chance.
I didn’t expect that this would be the time when I went there for the first time.
Now everyone wants to reach the northwest as soon as possible.
They have already been travelling for ten days. If they move quickly enough, they might be able to arrive in twenty days.
At the same time, Yan Shu and his men had already camped outside the northwest border city, dozens of miles away.
Outside this border town, there are areas of dozens of miles where no one lives. The land is vast and sparsely populated, making such places suitable for garrisoning.
They have been here for a few days and have set up camp, settling down temporarily.
It’s quite far away, so it’s not too cold here, but the wind and sand are still very strong.
With two hundred thousand troops stationed here, it looks very powerful.
If they want to buy food, they will go to another city closest to the border city.
It takes a day to go there and back by horse.
Fortunately, they had already bought all the food on the way here.
At present, they just take a short rest, waiting for Chu Yan to come and act according to his orders.
The imperial capital of Nanyue.
Wangfu.
Nan Rufeng has been recuperating for nearly a month, and his complexion now looks much better.
During this period of time, Chu Yao has been taking care of him meticulously.
When he just came back for two days, she still had to feed him. Now after a month of rest, he can walk and eat by himself.
Logically speaking, his body has almost recovered by now.
Chu Yao should go back to the yard next door, but Nan Rufeng always seems to find various reasons to make her stay.
When I have nothing to do, I play chess and draw with her.
Since she married to the Kingdom of Nanyue, Nan Rufeng has never been as free as she has been in the past month.
As they spent time together day and night, Nan Rufeng finally realized that his princess was such an outstanding lady, proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Perhaps in the entire Nanyue Kingdom, there is no other woman as talented as her.
That day, Nan Rufeng finally said he was going out, and his mood didn't seem as good as before.
Chu Yao didn't ask him anything.
What she thought was that if Nan Rufeng wanted to tell her, he would take the initiative to tell her even if she didn't ask.
If he didn't want to talk, it would be useless for her to ask.
She always kept her duties in mind and would not ask questions that were not necessary.
But just because Chu Yao didn't ask doesn't mean Asong and Alan won't ask for her.
It was morning when Nan Rufeng went out. Around noon, Asong and Alan came to her room.
"Third Princess, the prince is going to pay tribute to his ill-fated lover today. Today is her death anniversary."
Chu Yao was stunned for a moment, then lowered her eyes, a hint of disappointment flashed across her eyes. No wonder he was in a much lower mood today than usual.
It turns out I'm still thinking about that person.
Ah Song added, "According to my investigation, the prince and the woman were in love and had reached the stage of discussing marriage, but for some reason, on the eve of the wedding, she suddenly fell ill and died soon after."
"So in the following years, he didn't marry a wife. The two concubines in the other courtyards were given to him by Crown Prince Nan Ruxi, but he never went to visit them."
Chu Yao nodded. She had quickly calmed herself down.
"Yes, I understand. Thank you, Sister Song, for telling me this."
"In fact, when we were in Da Chu, the Third Princess and her sisters told me that there was someone in his heart that he had never let go. I have always been very clear about this." She said lightly.
It was just that they had spent more time together recently, which gave her an illusion.
Fortunately, I woke up in time.
Remember their three rules.
Asong and Alan both felt sorry for her, but they obviously would not talk about these things openly. Chu Yao was a very clear-headed person.
The two sisters looked at each other, not wanting to see her disappointed, so they changed the subject.
It just so happens that they have another important matter to report!
