After saying that, she continued to walk toward the front of the market until she reached the end where she blew a whistle, and her maroon horse appeared. She mounted the horse and galloped south, as swiftly as lightning.
Those responsible for surveilling Nan Feng had been watching her movements from outside all along.
She had gone to change clothes quite a while ago and had not yet e out. Moreover, the stall owner had unexpectedly disappeared, prompting them to hastily run to the tent.
Worried that Nan Feng might be changing her clothes inside, they called out several times from outside, but there was no response. They immediately pulled open the tent curtain, only to find someone wearing Nan Feng’s clothes fainted within.
“No good, chase her immediately!”
However, there was no sign of Lu Jianxi; her horse could cover a thousand miles in a day, its speed unrivaled throughout the land.
…
“What? Nan Feng has escaped?” Tuoba Lie was so angry he felt like his lungs were about to explode, “How did she escape?”
The guards reported the details of Nan Feng’s escape timidly, “Your Highness, Prince, Lady Nan Feng is… exceedingly cunning.”
“What cunning? This is merely a child’s play. Only fools like you would be tricked by it. Where is the one who sold the clothes?”
“This…” The subordinates wore troubled expressions, “We didn’t bring him back. By the time we remembered, he had already vanished.”
“Useless, utterly useless,” Tuoba Lie raged, cursing while beginning to smash things around him.
He was furious. He never should have trusted that woman; he should have tied her up, locked her away.
To think that he had fallen into her trap twice. No, in his past life, she had thoroughly deceived him, and this life was no different.
The blame lay in the fact that he should never have developed feelings for her. His current hatred was a measure of his former love!
“You better search for her quickly. If you can’t find Nan Feng, don’t bother returning to see me, or I’ll take your heads!”
“Yes, your subordinate will go search immediately!”
…
The horse came to a halt inside the camp.
Nan Feng dismounted first, followed by Nangong Ye.
Nangong Ye turned to look at Nan Feng with deep affection, “Fengfeng, this is my camp. Why don’t you go inside and rest for a bit?”
He knew she didn’t remember anything, so he didn’t dare to press her as he had last time.
Nan Feng surveyed the surroundings. There were also many guards here, all curiously observing her.
Not wanting to be treated like a monkey on display, she had no choice but to enter the tent.
But at the entrance, she hesitated, waiting for Nangong Ye to e in.
As soon as Nangong Ye entered, Nan Feng took out a dagger from inside, pressed it against her own throat, and called out his name coldly, “Nangong Ye!”
The sight of Nan Feng like this sent a pang of agony through Nangong Ye’s heart, “Fengfeng, what are you doing?”
“Nangong Ye, let me make this clear first. I might be your wife, but I don’t remember you now, so treat me as a pletely different person, someone who is a stranger to you. Therefore, even though I am here with you, you are not to press me in any way, especially… Don’t force me to share a bed or do any other embarrassing things. You are a great General; you can manage that, right? Otherwise, I’ll have to fight you, even at the cost of my life.”
Nangong Ye’s eyes showed sorrow upon hearing the first part of Nan Feng’s speech, but upon hearing the rest, he suddenly laughed.
“So, you simply don’t want to share a bed? Fengfeng, I can endure,” he said, his smile revealing white teeth, giving him a sunny and handsome appearance.
“…” Nan Feng was momentarily stunned.
This Nangong Ye, he was quite interesting.
Nangong Ye clasped his hands behind his back and chuckled again, “Fengfeng, I won’t force you to do anything, but I have one condition.”
