Chapter 998 Dark Night · Shadow
"What did he mean by saying those things to you?"
“…”
Nan Yan was stunned for a moment before she remembered that they were just next door, separated by only a wall. In addition, the sea was unusually calm tonight, and there was not even a sound of ripples.
Li Bushan had good hearing and must have heard the frivolous words Monk said.
So he said, "This Monkben is not a good person either. His words are absolutely not to be trusted."
"Not a good person."
Li Bushang repeated this sentence and suddenly said, "I'm going to kill him."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out.
Nan Yan was caught off guard. Seeing that he was about to walk over to open the door, she was so scared that she quickly grabbed him.
"What are you doing?"
"You said he's not a good person. I also heard that he plotted against you before. In that case, let me kill him."
“…”
If someone else said this, Nan Yan would probably just think it was a joke, but when Li Bushang said this, he was very serious, and there was even a murderous look on his face.
He really intended to kill Monk.
Nan Yan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and she grabbed his sleeve tightly to prevent him from running away.
"Don't mess around!"
After all, Monk is the emperor of the Neng Kingdom. Even if he "lowers his dignity" and comes to the Yan Kingdom in person to discuss this business this time, he will never be careless in terms of protection.
On the table is the big Han Temur, and there are many people following him on the boat.
Li Bushan is alone, how could he dare to do such a dangerous thing?
Nan Yan grabbed his sleeve and pulled hard twice, finally pulling the child back to the table and sitting down by pressing his shoulders.
"Don't mess around!"
Li Bushan frowned and suddenly looked up at her: "You can't bear to let go?"
“…”
"From the way he sounded just now, it seemed like you two used to get along well."
“…”
"He also wants to take you to the Kingdom of Dian. What does he want to do?!"
Unexpectedly, he actually heard every word Monk said just now.
He said with a mixture of laughter and tears: "I've already told you that his words are not trustworthy, why do you still care?"
“…”
After saying this, she felt Li Bushan fell silent.
But instead of being convinced by her, there was a red light in his eyes, as if something had been endured to the limit.
He said solemnly: "Then what can I care about?"
Looking at his heavy eyes and listening to his low tone, Nan Yan felt a little lost.
What's wrong with him?
She looked down at Li Bu Shang and said softly, "Bu Shang, what's wrong with you?"
“…”
"Why do I feel like you're a little weird? Why are you so hostile to him?"
Although it was natural for Li Bushang, as the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, to be hostile to the Emperor of Dan, his hostility seemed a bit strange.
“…”
Li Bushang took two breaths and looked at Nan Yan. He saw that her brows were slightly furrowed, and there was a hint of caution and prudence between her brows.
It looked like a frightened little animal.
As soon as she senses danger approaching, she will turn around and run.
I scared her.
Li Bu Shang was silent for a while, and finally took a deep breath, tilted his head to the side, and then said: "If this person stays, it will be a disaster, both for the emperor and - for you."
“…”
After hearing his explanation, Nan Yan felt relieved.
It turned out that he was still worried about himself and Zhu Feng.
She smiled lightly with relief and said, "I know this man will eventually become a disaster, but now is not the time to kill him, and you can't kill him."
“…”
"I also hope that he can take this batch of weapons back with him and fight a few more battles with his brother, the King of Nanli, on the land of Dang, so that they will not have the intention to harass our border."
“…”
"If we kill him now, King Nanli will not only become the sole ruler, but will also completely swallow up his power. By then, our Yan Nation will have to face an extremely powerful Neng Nation."
“…”
"This is definitely not the best solution."
“…”
As she said this, the plan in her mind had already flown away, but she did not notice that Li Bushang was staring at her.
Murmuring: "You still think about him more than anyone else."
Nan Yan came back to her senses and lowered her head: "What?"
"fine."
"Oh," Nan Yan nodded. "Anyway, don't worry about this person. Let him be 'proud' for a while."
Li Bushang remained silent and nodded.
Although in his heart, he didn't want to see that man being "proud" in front of Nan Yan again.
After saying these words, Nan Yan's face showed fatigue.
Especially under the light, her cheeks looked a little flushed, and once she relaxed, her eyes began to become unfocused.
Li Bushang looked at her and said, "Are you drunk?"
Nan Yan put her hand on her heavy forehead and said with a wry smile, "I drank two glasses of wine, which was quite strong. I only feel a little weak in my hands and feet now."
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt dizzy.
When he looked closely, he saw that Li Bushang actually reached out and picked him up!
"No harm!"
Nan Yan was stunned and forgot to struggle for a moment. Fortunately, it was only two steps. Li Bu Shang carried her to the bed, gently put her on the bed, and said, "Since you are drunk, go to bed early."
“…”
Nan Yan's heart was still beating wildly.
At that moment just now, she could never have imagined that Li Bushan would directly reach out and pick her up - his action, even as a younger brother, was a bit presumptuous.
Nan Yan frowned: "You——"
"Didn't you say your hands and feet felt weak?"
“…”
"Stop talking and don't stay up late. Go to bed quickly."
“…”
Nan Yan sat at the head of the bed, silent for a while, then said: "It's okay, I just drank a little wine, not really drunk, don't do this next time."
“…”
Li Bu Shang was very obedient this time and said, "I understand."
Nan Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Bushan helped her lower the bed curtain, and then she slowly lay down, watching Li Bushan walk over and blow out the candle on the table.
As the fire went out, his figure also disappeared from the darkness.
Nan Yan was quiet for a while.
Sure enough, not only did his figure disappear, but even his voice could not be heard.
Today, the sea is exceptionally calm. Even in good weather in the past, you could hear the sound of waves, but tonight, everything is silent, so quiet that it seems a little scary.
In such silence, Nan Yan slowly closed her eyes.
The sea was calm.
The huge ship lay motionless on the calm sea. Almost all the lights on the ship were out, and it was dark.
And in this darkness, there was a dark shadow slowly moving through the dark corridor.
