Chapter 2646: Live Up to Your Own Life
Nan Yan was silent for a moment, then whispered, "If we could marry him a few wives and concubines, would he be able to mature and settle down?"
Zhu Feng looked at her: "Do you want him to get married?"
Nan Yan lowered her head and said softly, "I just think that this might be good for him."
“…”
Before Li Bu Shang left, she just looked at his figure through the crack in the door. The dark night could not hide the shock brought by Li Bu Shang's wolf-like eyes.
And it's not just shocking.
To her, the longing and desire in those eyes was a nightmare.
She couldn't bear to hurt him, even though she was almost hurt by him before, and even though the nightmares this child brought her still troubled her from time to time, deep down in her heart, she still couldn't bear it.
So, she didn't even tell Zhu Feng what happened during the days she disappeared.
Although Zhu Feng didn't ask, she could feel that he knew.
However, given his temper, he didn't even touch Li Bushang. He even used Li Bushang during the Wu family's rebellion, during his tour of the northwest, and even now, in such an important matter as conquering Bailong City. She could feel that his attitude towards Li Bushang had a deeper intention.
So, neither of them said anything.
Li was not harmed, and a precarious balance was maintained.
What we are afraid of is that this balance will be broken.
Therefore, she was eager to maintain this balance, to be stable, and to give Li Bushan a reason to feel stable.
Getting married, having children, and establishing a family business should be the conditions for a man to have a stable life, right?
Zhu Feng said: "Actually, I have also been looking for candidates for him."
"oh?"
"Originally, my Jinyiwei were not allowed to marry or take concubines at will, because having a family means having ties, but I need them to serve me wholeheartedly."
"That Li is not hurt—"
"He is different from them."
Nan Yan looked into Zhu Feng's dark eyes and fell silent.
She did not ask what was different about Li Bushang as they were both commanders of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. In fact, his "difference" had been silently engraved in their hearts.
Nan Yan asked, "Then why didn't the emperor tell me?"
“…”
"I naturally have no right to interfere in his affairs, but after all, I brought him back from Yongzhou."
“…”
"I have a responsibility towards him, I guess."
Zhu Feng said, "Because until now, there has been no suitable candidate."
Nan Yan looked at him with wide eyes: "Huh?"
Zhu Feng said, "I have considered all the young ladies from the official family, but none of them are suitable."
“…”
"Otherwise, I would have arranged a marriage for him long ago, and there would be no need to wait until today."
He said in a deep voice, "Li Bushang is like a wolf. If you can't tame him fundamentally and only create a superficial sense of stability, then his tameness will only make his future bite more deadly."
“…”
"So the wives and concubines chosen for him cannot be ordinary people."
“…”
"Even ordinary people can't control him."
Upon hearing this, Nan Yan's face showed a solemn expression.
After a while, he said softly, "No, I don't want anyone to subdue him."
"Um?"
Zhu Feng turned to look at her: "What did you say?"
Nan Yan said softly, "This child's character is indeed... indeed different from that of ordinary people, but he is not a wolf after all, but a human being."
“…”
"Even if he really gets married and has children, I hope he will be sincere."
“…”
“Rather than being conquered by a purpose.”
“…”
"Your Majesty, if you really want to grant him a marriage, I beg you to make sure it's something he's willing to do, and never force him."
Zhu Feng looked at her for a while.
Said: "Do you still care about him?"
Nan Yan said seriously: "I have a responsibility to him."
“…”
"It was I who brought him back from Yongzhou and brought him to the emperor. If he originally had his own life, it was I who changed it."
“…”
"I hope this is a perfect story, and I also hope he can live a life that lives up to his own expectations."
Zhu Feng was silent for a long time, and finally heaved a long sigh.
Said: "I can promise you."
“…”
"The premise is that this wolf doesn't make any mistakes in his life."
“…”
"You must not harm my people."
Having said that, the hand that was around Nan Yan's shoulder sank slightly. Even through her clothes, Nan Yan could feel the hot temperature of his palm.
That kind of aura was something he hadn't seen in a long time, the murderous nature that Zhu Feng had buried deep in his heart.
He was not good at using Li Bushang, and although he used him, he did not completely trust him.
This almost weird way of getting along always made Nan Yan feel a little uneasy.
She murmured, "No."
"I hope not..."

In the dark night, a strong smell of blood emanated from the bottom of the valley, as if it was filled with a basin of blood.
The Jinyiwei have never been lambs to be slaughtered.
All the people who had gone through the journey of becoming Jinyiwei had experienced a more brutal baptism of blood than this. Killing aroused the primitive savagery in them. In such a dark night where one could not see one's hand in front of one's face, it seemed as if they could abandon their own humanity and let it burst out completely.
It is a fight between humans and beasts.
It is also a fight between the beasts in people's hearts.
The long howls of wild wolves continued to ring out, accompanied by the sharp flashes of swords and sabers in the night, and followed by the smell of blood, spreading across the grassland.
All the Jinyiwei were holding long swords and slashing desperately.
At his feet were the corpses of wild wolves soaked in mud and blood, but more wolves continued to surround him from all directions and rush down.
The smell of blood naturally stimulated the beasts' bestiality.
Seeing this scene, Tian Ye's blood-stained face showed a solemn expression. He swung a knife and fiercely cut a wild wolf that pounced on him in half. The wild wolf let out a shrill howl and fell to the ground, with hot blood spraying all over his face.
Tian Ye said: "Sir, this won't do!"
Li Bushang turned around and looked at him: "Huh?"
Tian Ye said, "We don't know how many wolves are waiting behind us. If we keep on wasting our time like this, we'll run out of energy and become their food."
“…”
"We have to kill the wolf first."
“…”
"All wolves follow the lead of the alpha wolf. If you kill it, the pack will scatter!"
When the surrounding Jinyiwei heard this, they immediately said, "Let's go!"
Li Bushang didn't say anything, just looked up.
The wolf leader standing on the high ground was leaning over to look at them, greed gleaming in its green eyes.
And around it, there were more than a dozen wild wolves.
Killing it is naturally not that easy.
A cold light flashed in Li Bushang's eyes. He raised the knife in his hand and suddenly walked towards the wolf.
"grown ups!"
