Immediately, Zhu Feng, who was riding on the horse, raised his hand with a serious expression, and everyone stopped.

Without waiting for Zhu Feng's order, Yingshao raised his hand and the team of people following him rushed forward immediately, galloping around the horse-button pond in several ways, and disappeared on the snowy field in a short while.

They are exploring the neighborhood.

Although there were already scouts coming to explore the way before approaching here, after all, there was His Majesty the Emperor in the team. In order to be foolproof, they still had to send someone to explore the nearby pond before approaching the pond, and make sure there was no danger at all before approaching.

Nan Yan turned around and signaled to Aunt Tongyun and the others not to walk around, and then rode his horse to Zhu Feng's side.

As soon as I got closer, I heard Zhu Feng say, "The whereabouts of that group of people were not found?"

Yingshao said: "I haven't found it yet, but if they really come here to get water, we should be able to keep up with it."

“…”

Zhu Feng didn't say anything else, just frowned and looked at the huge pond ahead.

It is said to be a pond, but what can be marked on the map is almost a lake. Looking around, the snow surrounding it surrounds the clear water of the lake, like a pearl holding in snow-white hands.

The horses under their seats had not eaten enough for a long time. At this time, they looked at the pond in front of them and sniffed and let out an impatient low growl.

After a long time, the men who went out to explore the way came back one by one to report that no trace of the Neng people was found nearby.

Zhu Feng's brows frowned a little more tightly.

But he didn't say anything, just waved his hand, and the people behind him immediately lined up, dismounted and started drinking. Some people took out their own water bags to pour water into it.

Nanyan was originally planning to get off the horse and go to move, but when he looked up, he found that Zhu Feng had been riding on the horse. At this time, he did not rush up. Instead, he shook the reins and slowly walked along the lakeside.

Nan Yan thought about it and rode his horse to follow.

When I looked over, Zhu Feng frowned, staring at the pond with his eyes tightly, his eyes deep and faint, and I don’t know what he was thinking.

Nan Yan whispered: "Do you think there is something wrong with it?"

Zhu Feng looked back at her: "Do you think so?"

Nanyan shook his head.

Zhu Feng said: "Then why did you ask that?"

Nan Yan said: "I just see that the emperor is worried. If there is no abnormality, the emperor will not do this."

Hearing her say this, Zhu Feng couldn't help but chuckled and said, "You are so easy to avoid judging whether things are different. You only look at my attitude to judge whether things are different."

Nan Yan smiled and said, "This is the first time I have followed the emperor to send troops like this, and I am about to reach the hinterland of the grassland. Do you have to learn?"

Zhu Feng smiled again.

But then, he lowered his face again, looked at the wide lake surface and the clear water with a serious expression, and slowly said, "I just don't understand why those people came here to get water."

Nan Yan said: "They have been running for so many days. Shouldn't they come to get water?"

Zhu Feng said: "It wouldn't be a rare thing to come over to get water at other times, but now it is when? Look at the foot, there is ice and snow everywhere. They evacuated quickly after the raid. They obviously knew that I followed them with their men and horses. If they wanted to escape, they should be hungry. It would be better to eat snow and melt them in their mouths to quench their thirst when they had no choice. It would be better to take a walk here to get water."

When Nanyan heard this, he immediately understood.

Indeed, the reason they followed them to get water was because they followed those people. If not, they could cook snow and get water at any time on the road.

But why do those Chinese people do this?

Nan Yan said: "Does they have any reason to come?"

Zhu Feng said: "What's the reason?"

Nan Yan frowned and thought for a long time but couldn't imagine it. He only looked at the clear lake water beside him and said, "Is it these waters?"

“…?!”

Upon hearing this, Zhu Feng suddenly shook for a moment. He immediately turned around and looked at the lake carefully. The water was clear and I could only stand by the lake, and I could almost see the rugged rocks at the bottom of the lake far away.

Just then, Zhu Feng suddenly shouted loudly: "Stop all!"

The soldiers who were originally preparing to fetch water on the other side stopped their movements when they heard the orders of His Majesty the Emperor. Several of them held the horse and even pulled the horse's head back immediately.

Yingshao immediately came forward: "What's wrong with the emperor?"

Zhu Feng raised his hand and pointed at a distance not far ahead and said, "Let me see what is at the bottom of the lake."

Yingshao was puzzled, but he still took the people there immediately.

After seeing it, he changed his face.

In addition to the rugged rocks, there were also some dark shadows at the bottom of the lake that were almost impossible to distinguish. After a closer look, they were all covered with corpses of cattle and sheep, and they had been soaked in the water for a long time.

Yingshao hurriedly brought people back and reported: "Master, there are a large number of dead cattle and sheep piled up in the water."

When Nanyan heard this, she frowned.

Zhu Feng said: "Does there be any external injuries on those cattle and sheep?"

Yingshao said: "No."

Zhu Feng frowned, a ferocious look flashed across his face. He was silent for a while before waved: "If you send the order, no one should get close to this lake. If you have just drunk water, you will immediately return to the Great Wall Moat and hand it to the medical officer for treatment."

Yingshao was also shocked and said, "Your Majesty, what you mean is-"

Zhu Feng said: "These cattle and horses have no external injuries, so they die of illness. The people of the Neng country should have deliberately thrown these cattle and sheep into the lake and infected the epidemic into the water."

Nanyan took a breath of air conditioning.

Yingshao also showed a look of shock on his face, but he didn't say much and immediately turned around and went back to pass the order.

Seeing the soldiers over there hurriedly retreating, Nan Yan said in a deep voice: "The emperor means that the reason why that team of men came here is not to come to get water, but to lead us here to get water?"

Zhu Feng nodded.

Nan Yan gritted his teeth: "So despicable!"

She had known for a long time that Monk was a meticulous person and even more despicable. When he pretended to be a relative to deceive him, he looked high-sounding. Now, he actually used this method to poison them!

However, Zhu Feng only said lightly: "We will never be tired of deceitful soldiers."

Nan Yan said coldly: "The emperor doesn't have to speak for him."

Zhu Feng said: "I am not talking to him."

“…”

"But, his move made me see a little clue."

When Nan Yan heard this, he immediately turned to look at him: "What?"
