Chapter 2553 Does he have other means?
Li Bushang asked, "What are you waiting for?"
Nan Yan didn't say anything, but continued to look around. She didn't look like she was looking at the scenery, but rather, as Li Bushang said, she seemed to be waiting for something.
However, in the dark night, there was only the sound of the gurgling river and the low rustling sound of the wind blowing through the grassland.
Other than that, nothing.
After dark, the temperature on the grassland dropped rapidly. Although it was not to the point where your breath turned into ice, there was no bonfire around, and the wind would quickly blow away the heat from your body.
Nan Yan suddenly shuddered.
Then, a piece of clothing with body temperature was draped over her body. She knew without turning around that it was Li Bushan who took off his own clothes and put them on her.
Nan Yan immediately said, "No need."
I hurried to take it off and return it to him.
Li Bushang grabbed her wrist. Nan Yan frowned and immediately whispered, "Let go!"
These days, perhaps because Zhu Feng was not around, and because they were in a hurry to travel, Nan Yan inevitably got very close to him, and his actions began to become uncontrollable again.
But at this time, Nan Yan no longer treated him as a child or his actions as unintentional, nor would she worry about whether her tough attitude would hurt him. After all, the memories of that night were too terrible for her.
Sure enough, when he heard her low scolding, Li Bushang also trembled slightly.
But he didn't let go immediately.
Instead, he grabbed Nan Yan's wrist to prevent her from moving. Nan Yan became increasingly angry. She looked up and was about to say something when she heard Li Bu Shang say, "I just want you not to reject me...my things."
“……!”
Nan Yan's heart trembled.
She looked up at Li Bushan again, only to see that the latter was also looking at her seriously. After feeling that her hands were no longer trying to take off her clothes, Li Bushan slowly let go of her hands.
Nan Yan looked at him with a complicated expression, and for a moment, she didn't know what to say.
He just sighed, turned around and continued looking ahead.
Li Bushang's clothes, with his body temperature and his scent, were draped on her body, just as if at that time he had hugged her with all his strength, and the posture, like a prison, gave her a very uneasy feeling.
Nan Yan took a deep breath and tried her best to resist the fear surging in her heart.
The night grew darker.
They didn't know how long they had been standing by the river. Even though Li Bushang was in good health, the wind chilled his fingertips. In the distance, they could hear Ruoshui's voice, calling Nanyan non-stop. She was probably getting worried because they hadn't returned for so long.
Nan Yan frowned and looked around. The night was as dark as ink, with no other movement at all.
Li Bushang turned his head and looked at her.
He said in a deep voice: "Go back."
“…”
"The other party may not show up."
“……?”
Nan Yan's heart trembled slightly, and she turned to look at him: "What did you say? Do you know who I'm waiting for?"
Li Bushang said calmly, "You are waiting for the King of Nanli of the Neng Kingdom, the man named Arislan."
Nan Yan raised her eyebrows slightly.
"How...how did you know?"
Li Bushang said, "After you met that Monk, you refused to enter the post station and insisted on setting up camp outside. You wanted to give him a chance to find you. Moreover, you went out every night, also wanting to give him a chance."
“…”
"I guess Monk came to you to discuss some kind of cooperation."
“…”
"Since Monk is looking for you, then Arslan, who is confronting him, should also think of looking for you."
“…”
"You hope he'll show up and discuss cooperation with you, so you can mediate and seek the greatest benefit."
“…”
"If I'm not mistaken, the cooperation should be about the White Tiger City incident this time."
When Nan Yan looked at him again, her eyes were different from before.
Although Li Bushang had long shed his childish appearance, and had already possessed the trustworthy and reliable appearance of an adult man in terms of body shape, appearance, temperament and skills, deep down in her heart, she still regarded him as a child.
Only an ignorant child would have such feelings towards himself.
Only an ignorant child would do such a stupid thing without considering the consequences.
But when she heard him say that, Nan Yan felt a little dazed. Perhaps, only in her own heart, or in front of her, did he look like a child and have the mind of a child.
In front of anyone and anything else, he is a mature and reliable man.
He had never asked himself about this matter. Based on his observations over the past few days, he had guessed 99% of the situation, and all of it was correct.
Nan Yan thought about it and said, "That's right."
“…”
"However, this matter is still confidential. Even if you guess it, don't tell anyone."
Li Bushang glanced at her.
He said lightly: "I'm not interested in other things."
Nan Yan frowned again, thinking helplessly in her heart: After all, she is still a child.
Li Bushang added, "But given the current situation, Arslan will definitely not show up. If he really wanted to see you, he would have come long ago. There's no need for you to wait here. Go back, before you catch a cold."
Nan Yan looked at his slightly red nose, then looked around.
In the distance, Ruoshui's shouts had made everyone in the camp a little anxious, and it seemed that more people began to scatter and look for them.
Nan Yan sighed: "Let's go back."
So, the two of them turned around and walked towards the camp. After walking two steps, Nan Yan remembered something, took off the clothes she was wearing and handed them to him.
Li Bushang took a look at the clothes, said nothing, and obediently took it and put it on himself.
Soon, they returned to the camp. Ruoshui came up anxiously and said, "The queen has been gone for a long time. We are so worried, afraid that something unexpected might happen."
Nan Yan smiled faintly and said, "There's no one here, what kind of accident could happen?"
“…”
"Besides, isn't Commander Li accompanying me?"
Ruoshui glanced at the gloomy Li Bushang and thought to herself, "Because he's following me, I have one more thing to worry about!"
But she didn't dare say this casually.
He hurriedly pulled Nan Yan back to the campfire and sat down. When the people around knew that the imperial concubine had returned, they were relieved. They all came back and gathered around the campfire, holding the freshly cooked porridge and drinking it in big gulps.
Nan Yan drank half a bowl of porridge with the rabbit meat that Ruoshui had mixed with sesame oil, and then looked around.
There was no movement at all.
Arslan, are you really not going to show up?
Monk could think of cooperating with them, but he couldn't?
Or, does he have other means?
