Chapter 3524 Where is my daughter? !
As they drew closer to the fire, they could already see faint shadows of people moving about. Nan Yan's heart tightened, and she couldn't help but clutch her clothes.
Li Bushang, who was sitting behind her, with his back pressed against hers, seemed to feel her heartbeat.
I also felt the excitement in her heart.
He leaned close to Nan Yan's ear and whispered, "Soon, you will be able to see Princess Xinping. Then, I will take you away, fly away, and we will never be separated again."
Nan Yan suddenly asked, "What about Xie Jiaojiao?"
“……!”
The sudden mention of this name made Li Bushan's expression change. His brows immediately furrowed. Nan Yan turned his head to look at his outline, which was also very clear in the darkness, and said calmly: "Your wife, what are you going to do to her?"
Li Bushang's breath became a little deeper.
He said slowly, "I will treat her the same way she treats me."
“…”
“I treat everyone in the world the same. If anyone gives me pain, I repay them three-tenths. If anyone gives me joy, I repay them ten-tenths.”
Nan Yan frowned slightly.
At this time, there was no time to think about anything. The horse trotted down the slope and soon rushed into the range of light. Nan Yan immediately saw that the person waiting there was Xie Jiaojiao, whom she had just asked about.
At this moment, Xie Jiaojiao was wearing a thin long gown. Although it was already summer, such thin clothes still made people feel a little cold in the middle of the night. However, she didn't seem to feel cold at all while riding on the horse.
It even seems as if all five senses have been lost.
Only on that pale little face, those eyes so dark that they couldn't even see a ray of light, could they reveal a hint of pain when they looked at Li Bushang.
Soon, Li Bushang rode his horse in front of her.
There were several warriors following behind her, who were probably Li Bushang's confidants. These people were all strong and had dark skin, and they were obviously people with great martial arts skills.
But Nan Yan took a quick look and immediately discovered that although there were seven or eight people here, Xinping was not among the crowd.
Not only her, Li Bushang also noticed this. He reached out and grasped the reins, stopped the horse in front of Xie Jiaojiao, and said, "Where is she? Where is Princess Xinping?"
“…”
Xie Jiaojiao seemed not to hear his question.
She just looked at Li Bu Shang sadly, then looked at Si Nan Yan who was held tightly in Li Bu Shang's arms. In fact, when she came out of the city and galloped on horseback in the wilderness, she didn't feel the cold at all, but at this moment, she suddenly felt very cold.
The biting cold was like a knife, piercing through her body in an instant.
She gripped the reins tightly and said nothing.
Li Bushang frowned and said coldly: "Where are the people?"
At this moment, Xie Jiaojiao's eyes flickered, as if she had come back to life. She looked up at Li Bushang again, and after a moment's silence, she said, "She's not here."
Nan Yan immediately asked, "Where is she?"
The reason why she followed Li Bushang and left the South Courtyard was for Xinping. If she couldn't see Xinping, wouldn't her trip be in vain?
Xie Jiaojiao looked at Nan Yan with cold eyes, and a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth.
She said, "I thought that the rumored shrewd Concubine was really shrewd."
“…”
"After all, you were so smart when it came to the White Dragon City incident."
“…”
"Why are you so stupid...to this extent in some things?"
Upon hearing this, Li Bushang's face immediately darkened.
He could not tolerate anyone hurting Nan Yan, especially when Nan Yan was now by his side and would be by his side for the next half of her life. He could not allow anyone to hurt her in the slightest, even with just a single unpleasant word.
So he said coldly: "Answer whatever I ask you. If you dare to be rude to her again——"
"What do you want?"
Xie Jiaojiao seemed completely unafraid at this moment. She even slowly raised her injured hand and sneered, "Break my bones again?"
Nan Yan's heart sank.
She was not completely ignorant of this matter.
When she went to visit Xie Jiaojiao, Aunt Tongyun told her that Madam Li did not seem to be sick, but injured. She also had a vague feeling in her heart that as the wife of the commander-in-chief of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, no one would dare to hurt her easily. Not many people would dare to hurt her, or even touch her.
But she really couldn't imagine that it was Li Bushang.
He broke Xie Jiaojiao's hand bones!
Nan Yan spoke in a hoarse voice: "What on earth are you——"
Xie Jiaojiao lowered her hand and looked at Nan Yan again. Her eyes were filled with contempt, but more of a deep pain. She sneered, "You can't see through anything. No wonder you're in trouble today."
Can't see through?
These three words made Nan Yan's heart skip a beat.
She suddenly seemed to understand something and said, "Before, when you accompanied me to the military camp, you deliberately led me south. What did you want me to see?"
Xie Jiaojiao sneered: "Why don't you ask the person behind you."
“…”
"Ask him, as the commander of the Jinyiwei of Yan State, why would he secretly meet with people from Yue State at the border? What is he plotting?"
“…”
"Li Bushang, you've been planning for so long, and today everything has finally come to fruition. Don't you want to share the joy of your success with the person you value most? Don't you want her to know what you've been secretly plotting all these years?"
“…”
"Perhaps after she knows this, she will be touched and will be completely devoted to you from now on?"
Her voice and expression were filled with sarcasm and ridicule, as if she wished her words could turn into knives and pierce the bodies of the two people in front of her.
Li Bushang's face had completely darkened.
He gritted his teeth and said coldly: "If you don't want to live, I can help you."
“…”
"But before that, you'd better tell me Princess Xinping's whereabouts. I don't want her to worry about her daughter."
Xie Jiaojiao originally thought that her words could hurt them.
But now it seems that she was too naive.
No matter what she said or how she retaliated, Li Bushang would not be hurt or attacked by her at all. He devoted his whole heart to the woman in his arms. It had always been so and would always be so in the future.
In comparison, I look like a failed clown.
“Haha, hahahahaha…”
Xie Jiaojiao slowly began to laugh. She laughed louder and louder, more and more crazily, and even laughed until tears streamed down her face and she couldn't straighten her back.
Nan Yan was already cold all over at this time. She vaguely felt that when Xie Jiaojiao said these words, she seemed to have no plans for a future at all. If she really had such plans, then -
Nan Yan gritted her teeth and said, "Where's my daughter?!"
