Chapter 715: Chapter 715: Agonizing Torment_1
Old Xing was dealing with pests on the vegetables. He looked up at Nan Feng, their eyes met. Nan Feng just nodded slightly at him, then she picked and started munching on a carrot.
Old Xing stood up and walked over to Nan Feng, "Lady Nan, the vegetables here are destined for the Imperial Kitchen, you can’t just pick and eat them at will."
"I am not eating much, just a single carrot," Nan Feng said indifferently, continuing to crunch, then she turned and walked off somewhere else.
Old Xing sighed but didn’t say anything further.
Nan Feng took another stroll around the garden and wandered into the fruit orchard. It held all sorts of fruit trees. Unfortunately, it was not the fruiting season yet, but there were some flowers, and bees and butterflies were collecting nectar. A breeze wafted through the trees. Nan Feng found it very comforting and managed to avoid getting sunburned.
Nan Feng quickly thought of hammocks and didn’t feel bored anymore. After returning in the afternoon, she asked Little Fuzi for some nets. There were many woven bags used for vegetables and fruits in Siyuan, Nan Feng tore up some of these bags and then hung several hammocks on some tall peach trees.
While Siyuan had no miscellaneous books, there were a few about agriculture. Nan Feng picked several and went over to the peach grove to read while lying in her hammock.
Flipping open the catalogs, Nan Feng saw the author’s name: Old Xing.
So, it turned out, all these books were written by Old Xing. Incredible, he knows how to cultivate vegetables and flowers, and he’s also an author.
Latterly, whenever someone looked at Nan Feng with questioning eyes, she raised her books and said, "I’m studying here, everyone continue with your tasks."
She hardly took notice of Siyuan affairs.
Every day, she would pick some vegetables and fruits to snack on while lazing about on a rocking chair.
The days were exceedingly dull and lazy; she even started marking each passing day on the wall by her bed.
She was keen to know about Brother Ye’s situation, but she couldn’t come and go as she pleased within the palace, as there were guards everywhere.
Eventually, Nan Feng started observing the palace walls.
After some study, she identified a place along the rear wall that was unguarded because there was a river behind. If she climbed over the wall and jumped into the river, she would have no problem escaping from this place with her physical abilities and swimming skills.
However, what afterescaping?
Should she go looking for Brother Ye?
And where should she look for him?
Also, what would Brother Ye’s stance be if she runs away?
Brother Ye had told her that she could break out of this walled city. Yet, this was not the time to run; she had to wait for his signal to do so.
...
In the north lay the city of Shouchun.
Due to the perpetual wars, there weren’t many of the original residents left. Many had fled southward, leaving behind those who were either too old to move or too poor to afford the journey.
Brother Ye’s forces had already reached Shouchun, rallying under the banner of "Nangong".
Li Ze hurried out to meet them.
Li Ze had met Brother Ye before and was aware of his skills and courage. Upon hearing the news of Brother Ye leading an expedition, he promptly relayed the message. Reactions ranged from skepticism to admiration.
"General Nangong, you’re here at last. Our brothers have been eagerly waiting for days. Let’s set up the camp first, and then I will brief you about the war situation," Li Ze greeted Brother Ye as he led the way, speaking all the way.
"Better brief me about the situation here first," Brother Ye handed the task of setting camp to Shangguan You, ready to follow Li Ze to his tent.
However, before they could reach Li Ze’s camp, a bearded general suddenly burst out of the front: "Greetings, General Nangong Ye."
