Chapter 835: Chapter 835: Meeting Mo Wenxuan Again

"I heard they’re returning in batches. This batch has returned, and the next will come later. With the Hu people being so cunning, I’m afraid they might suddenly attack."

"Has General Nangong Ye returned?" asked a person at the next table.

"That I don’t know."

"..."

Nan Feng, listening to the conversation at the neighboring table, felt her hand holding the chopsticks trembling involuntarily.

Brother Ye... is he coming back?

Nan Feng was once again in a dilemma. If Brother Ye had returned, her trip to the North would be in vain, but if he hadn’t, she couldn’t just wait here aimlessly.

She decided to go out for a walk. With some luck, she might even hear some news about Brother Ye.

Nan Feng then went to the streets and wandered near the Palace.

The big officials live outside the Palace; perhaps like in the Inn, she might dig up some useful information.

Because she had essentially escaped from the Emperor’s side, Nan Feng had deliberately put on men’s clothing so that she wouldn’t be recognized and caught again.

But what Nan Feng didn’t expect was that even though she was disguised as a man, someone still called her name, "Nan Feng? Is that Nan Feng?"

Turning around, Nan Feng saw a head sticking out from a carriage nearby. If not Mo Wenxuan, who else could it be?

It showed that dressing as a man wasn’t foolproof, unless one truly looked masculine, otherwise how could someone not recognize her?

Mo Wenxuan was quite surprised to see Nan Feng, "It really is you..."

Nan Feng immediately shushed Mo Wenxuan with a gesture, signaling him not to make a sound, then she jumped onto his carriage.

"Wenxuan, I can’t reveal my identity now. I’ve escaped from the Imperial Palace. If you still consider me a friend, please don’t let out my secret."

Mo Wenxuan nodded, "Sure, I promise not to tell. But what’s going on with you now?"

Nan Feng had no choice but to recount her experiences to Mo Wenxuan, hoping he would keep her secret. And if convenient, to help her find out whether Brother Ye had returned.

Mo Wenxuan sighed while looking at Nan Feng, "Love truly is exhausting. You used to be like the morning sun, but now you’ve fallen to such a state for Brother Ye. He really shouldn’t have left you to join the war."

"He was fulfilling his adoptive father’s wish; he had no choice but to go," Nan Feng said.

"Okay then, I’ll help you find out," Mo Wenxuan said. "I’ll find you at the Inn tomorrow."

"Good, it’s the same Inn you stayed at when you came to take the exams in the Capital City," said Nan Feng.

Nan Feng was about to leave when Mo Wenxuan stopped her again, "By the way, I’ve brought my parents to the Capital City. Would you like to meet them?"

After all, they were fellow villagers.

Yet Nan Feng decisively refused, "Better not. Your parents don’t like me. If I visit them, they’ll think I want to rekindle old flames, especially now that you’re about to get married."

Mo Wenxuan didn’t insist further on the matter.

Although he was a Civil Official, having served in the Capital City for a while, he knew some military officers, so it wasn’t difficult for him to gather information. Soon, he found Nan Feng again to tell her that Brother Ye hadn’t returned.

Apart from the news, Mo Wenxuan brought Nan Feng some bank notes, provisions, and gave her a strategic map, explaining that it could help her successfully find Brother Ye.

Nan Feng was overjoyed, a smile finally appearing on her face, "Wenxuan, thank you."

"Don’t mention it. We’re all from the same place. Besides... forget it, never mind," Mo Wenxuan scratched his head.
