Chapter 3531 Will you go to war for her?
At this time, Li Bushang suddenly said: "Wait a minute!"
Zhu Feng raised his hand, and the troops following him immediately stopped. He turned around and looked at Li Bushang calmly. At this time, the morning light was already shining on his face. After a night of running around, his face also revealed a hint of fatigue, and he didn't even try to hide it.
It seems that there is no intention to appear invulnerable in front of the other party.
But seeing him like this made Li Bushang feel even more tormented.
He knew that Zhu Feng could only be so calm if he completely ignored him, or in other words, if he had complete control over everything and knew that everything would develop according to his plan.
He knew he had lost.
However, his inner arrogance and the indomitable spirit in his blood prevented him from calmly accepting all this. He gritted his teeth and said, "I'm letting you go today, letting her go, because I have no choice."
“…”
"But what about you?"
“…”
"If you were standing in my position today, what would you choose?"
“…”
"Will you go to war for her?"
Nan Yan frowned subconsciously.
In fact, the answer is not important, because there is no such thing as "if" in this world. No matter how he asks or how Zhu Feng answers, it will not have any impact on the current result.
However, this answer is also fatal.
If Zhu Feng answered "yes", it would most likely cause Li Bushang to change his mind, and a war might even start here.
By that time, the war between Yan and Yue will never end.
If Zhu Feng answered "no"——
Although I know that I shouldn't do that, and even if I were in such an environment, I wouldn't easily start a war for one person, but the human heart is contradictory.
Nan Yan could tell at once that if Zhu Feng said “no”, it would be like a thorn in her heart.
Li Bushang asked this on purpose.
He might not be able to see clearly or thoroughly about other things, but when it comes to human nature - he has known the darkest side of human nature since he was a child, and he also knows where the human heart is most vulnerable. He deliberately wanted to leave a thorn between Zhu Feng and himself, and deliberately wanted to pierce this thorn in his own heart.
Thinking of this, Nan Yan said in a deep voice: "Don't pay attention to him."
However, Zhu Feng did not turn around and leave. Instead, he looked at Li Bushang calmly, holding Nan Yan firmly in his arms with one hand, and then said, "I don't have an answer to your question."
Li Bushang sneered: "Are you afraid?"
Zhu Feng said, "It's not that I'm afraid, but I won't have such 'ifs'."
“…”
"All choices are second best. Those who retreat are not strong enough."
Li Bushang's face immediately darkened.
Zhu Feng spoke calmly, his voice tinged with a hint of undisguised arrogance. "Those who are strong enough don't have to make choices when they're forced to. I've worked diligently all these years, not daring to slack off for a single day, just so that I, and my Yan Nation, can become strong enough without having to make choices, give up, or settle for second best."
“…”
"So I don't have an answer to your question."
“…”
"Whatever I want, I will get, because—"
He stared coldly at Li Bushang's wolf-like eyes and said word by word: "I am stronger than you!"
Li Bushan suffocated.
When Nan Yan heard this, her heart started beating fast.
Although she had experienced so much that night, and even had some extremely thrilling moments, her heart had never been beating as wildly as it did at this moment. She slowly turned her face to look at Zhu Feng's thin but extremely resolute outline in the morning light, as well as his eyes, which were the same as when he led her to fight a bloody way out of the city of Yongzhou.
He has never changed, and is even stronger and more reassuring than before.
Because of this, no matter what happened over the years, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles she experienced, she could always keep her heart by his side.
Because it's him.
But--
While she was excited, Nan Yan also felt a little uneasy in her heart.
Gu Ran said this because of his arrogance about his strength, but, with such arrogance, isn't Zhu Feng afraid of angering Li Bushang?
Even if he can no longer do anything now, he still has to return to Yue State and become the king of Yue State. If he angers the future king of Yue State at such a "parting moment", wouldn't it sow the seeds of war between the two countries?
Thinking of this, Nan Yan said softly, "Your Majesty."
Zhu Feng did not slow down, but just patted the back of her hand gently with the hand holding the reins, indicating that she didn't need to worry, and Nan Yan shut up.
Zhu Feng waved his hand, and the people around him immediately gathered around him to protect him. The last one to come was a team of Jinyiwei led by Fang Buyuan.
He looked at Li Bushang deeply, as if he had a thousand words to say, but at this time, he had nothing to say. He turned his horse around and guarded the end of the team. After a while, the sound of horse hooves faded away, and their figures disappeared in the direction of Yongzhou City.
Li Bushang stood there, watching their backs disappear in the morning light.
At this time, Chen Wenxiao stepped forward and said softly, "Your Majesty, it's almost dawn, we have to go back quickly."
Li Bushang turned around and looked at him.
His eyes were bloodshot and red, and those wolf eyes looked like a person suddenly facing a bloodthirsty wolf in the dark night, and could even smell the blood from the wolf's mouth.
Chen Wenxiao broke out in cold sweat.
This was not the first time he had met Li Bushang. The two had secretly colluded several years ago. He knew Li Bushang's true identity and wanted to help Li Bushang ascend to the throne of the King of Yue State, so that he could surpass his brothers, Xiahou Jiu, and even his uncle and become a loyal minister; and Li Bushang also wanted to use his hand to get rid of Xiahou Jiu, Chen Biri, and Chen Wenxiong. The two of them hit it off.
Of course he knew that what he did was dangerous, but he sought victory in danger. He was unwilling to be trampled under the feet of his younger brother for the rest of his life.
Now, the overall situation has been decided. As long as they hurry back to stabilize the situation and return to Daluo City to disclose Li Bushang's identity - no, Li Wushang's identity, they can ascend the throne smoothly, and he will also have the merit of supporting the throne.
However, when he saw those blood-red eyes just now, he felt that everything seemed not to be over yet.
But at this moment, Li Bu Shang had already turned his head and took one last look to the north. Nan Yan's figure had long since disappeared. Even if he saw through the gloomy sky before him, he could no longer see her. Li Bu Shang took a deep breath and said, "Let's go!"
Everyone around him immediately followed him and mounted their horses. The group hurriedly left the steep north slope and headed south.
