Golden Age Of Phoenix: Tyrant’s First Class Virtuous Imperial Concubine - Chapter 3585
Walking out day and night, they will find messy footprints on the snow from time to time, and the residue left after eating.
Then, on the third morning, they found that the passerby had turned.
The scout reported that the people and horses on the road turned around and headed northeast.
After hearing the news, Zhu Feng, who had been traveling all the way, finally waved his hand to stop the group, Ying Shao did not dismount, and immediately took out a sheepskin map from his arms and sent it to him.
The two leaned in front of the map and muttered something.
On Nan Yan’s side, after running for a few hours, her inner thighs were already torn, blood soaked into her close-fitting clothes, dry and cracked, cracked and dry, and this time she didn’t feel it anymore.
She somewhat understands why those cavalrymen can’t change their faces on horseback, they probably have such a layer of calluses on their bodies, no wonder they are much stronger than herself.
She was better. Aunt Tongyun and Delu, who had never been tossed like this before, really suffered a lot, but the emperor didn’t order them, and they didn’t dare to dismount. They could only curl up on the horse to take a breath and drink water , After a while, Delu’s water bladder was empty.
Aunt Tongyun said softly, “Didn’t I tell you that I need to save some time when I go out?”
Saying that, he handed him the water bladder in his hand.
Nan Yan only glanced at them, then shook the reins lightly and drove the horse slowly towards Zhu Feng. As soon as he approached, he heard Ying Shao say, “If the subordinates guessed correctly, their goal should be here.”
Zhu Feng pondered for a while, and then said, “I ordered to go down, rest on the spot, and set off in a quarter of an hour.”
“Yes.”
Ying Shao immediately rode down to give orders.
When he left, Nan Yan slowly rode his horse and walked over, only to see Zhu Feng still holding the map and contemplating, I don’t know what to think, his face became even heavier, the heaviness made him short of breath, clutching his hands. Mouth coughed.
“emperor.”
Nan Yan hurriedly approached, Zhu Feng took a deep breath, as if swallowing his cough, and turned his head to look at her.
His eyes immediately fell on her thighs.
Nan Yan lowered his head and glanced at him, but Zhu Feng remained calm and said lightly, “If you can’t hold on, I can ask Ying Shao to send someone to take you back while you’re not far from the camp.”
Nan Yan ignored him at all.
She rode the horses closer, the two horses were next to each other, grinding each other, Nan Yan looked at the sheepskin map in his hand.
They are not very familiar with this grassland, especially the environment in the Kuo Kingdom. Nan Yan knew that this map originally depended on Zhu Feng being familiar with various paths every time he attacked when he was guarding Peiping, and he came back and drew a rough sketch by himself. After that, Nan Yan went to Kulun City and Baihu City, and made additions and subtractions based on her memory, and finally got this simple map.
And what Ying Shao just pointed to was a small circle on the map.
It should be a small lake.
Or rather, a pond.
Judging from the location, it is about dozens of miles away from them.
Nan Yan said softly, “Are we going to divert?”
Seeing that she didn’t pay any attention to what she just said, Zhu Feng couldn’t help sighing, a little anger appeared on his face, and even his voice was a little impatient: “Do you know what way we’re going?”
Nan Yandao: “I don’t know.”
“Then what about a diversion?”
Nan Yan raised her head and glanced at him, knowing that he was deliberately looking for him to vent his anger, and he didn’t care about him, only said, “That’s right, we’re going to this place, right?”
“…”
“It’s a lake.”
“…”
“Are we going to fetch water?”
She said so warmly to herself, Zhu Feng really had no choice, and seeing that she was getting closer and closer, she almost reached into her arms, so she rudely reached out and pulled the map away, wrinkled. He frowned and said, “It was the raiding group. I originally thought that they should go back to Cullen City immediately, or that there should be a large group of people waiting to meet them. But I didn’t expect them to change their route when they got here. Go to this Makouzi Reservoir.”
“They’re going to fetch water?”
“This group of people came to raid lightly. They definitely didn’t have much water and food on their bodies. After walking on the grassland for a few days, they should have to fetch water.”
Nan Yan smiled and said, “That’s just right. We’re almost running out of water here.”
Zhu Feng glanced at her, then looked at not far behind her, and got off the horse as if receiving amnesty, wishing for Tong Yun and De Lu, who were lying on the ground and sleeping.
As slaves, they have never suffered such hardships, let alone Nanyan.
Over the years, Nan Yan had been pampered in the deep palace. He thought that if she ran with her for two days, she would definitely suffer and go back, but he didn’t expect that she would be harder than those people’s bones.
Thinking of this, Zhu Feng said: “Really not going back?”
“…”
Nan Yan still ignored these words, and only took out a water bag from the shackle behind his horse’s **** and handed it to Zhu Feng: “This is the medicine that the concubine had prepared beforehand. The emperor blew the wind these days, Gotta drink some. The medicine isn’t as potent as it is when it’s hot, but a little is better than nothing.”
Zhu Feng looked at her with a sullen face, didn’t say anything after all, took the water bag to drink.
After the medicine was cold, it was not as bitter as when it was hot, but Zhu Feng still frowned while drinking. Seeing him like this, Nan Yan hurriedly took off the other side of the water bag and handed it to him to clear his mouth, but Zhu Feng was indifferent. With a wave of his hand, he pushed away the water bladder she handed over.
Said: “You can save some water on your side.”
“…?”
Nan Yan was stunned for a moment.
Aren’t they going to follow that team to the horse buttons to replenish water?
Zhu Feng glanced at her and said nothing.
Seeing him like this, Nan Yan didn’t ask any more questions, just turned around silently and walked back, and mentioned to Aunt Tongyun and De Lu, who was still holding Aunt Tongyun’s water bag and kept pouring it, when she heard her Having said that, he stopped immediately.
After resting for a while, the group dressed up and set off again.
This time, they had an accurate goal, they walked faster than before, Nan Yan didn’t dare to hold back, so he rode his horse with all his strength, and finally in the evening, he saw a blue sky appearing on the white snow in front of him. .
It is the pond called Makouzi.
There are many ponds on the grassland, which can provide sufficient water for horses and pedestrians. However, in winter, most of the ponds and lakes will freeze, and only a small number of ponds have living water underground. It does not freeze all year round.
This horse button is one of them.
When they saw this pond, everyone was refreshed.
But then, Zhu Feng, who was riding on the horse, raised his hand with a solemn expression, and everyone stopped.
