Chapter 2696 She is very thoughtful
"Look at them, do they have this?"
Hearing this, Nan Yan was slightly startled, then lowered her head to think for a moment, then hesitantly said softly, "Then Miss Xie Li is not injured, so of course she has."
"What if Li is not hurt?"
"this……"
Nan Yan said softly, "I haven't seen him since he came back. I don't know what his attitude is."
Zhu Feng said: "Let me tell you."
“…”
"That Miss Xie's eyes seemed to be drawn to him by some string, but Li Bu Shang looked everywhere except at her."
"ah?"
"Also, I also asked a few of his personal guards. Miss Xie is very enthusiastic, but he is as cold as ice."
Nan Yan couldn't help but frowned and said, "This child."
Zhu Feng said coldly: "Do you still think he is a child?"
Nan Yan was silent for a moment, then looked up at him and said softly, "To me, no matter what happened, he was the one I picked up from Yongzhou."
Zhu Feng sighed.
Nan Yan continued, "But maybe it's because the child has never experienced something like this before, so he's not used to it."
“…”
"I think the young lady from the Xie family is quite good. The most rare thing is that with Bu Shang's status, if she is not a young lady from an official family, she would not be worthy of him. But the emperor also said that the young ladies from official families in the capital were not suitable before. Now that we finally have such a person, we must take a look."
Zhu Feng said, "I would like to see it, otherwise, I would not have agreed to Xie Jiaojiao's request."
"Request? What did she ask of the Emperor?"
"She proposed that after the surrender of Bailong City, part of the Xie family's assets should be moved to the Central Plains, and this time she would follow us back to the capital."
"oh?"
Nan Yan said, "That's good."
“…”
"Originally, it would be easier for the emperor to manage these people if they entered the Central Plains. Not only would it be easier to manage these people, but it would also be easier to manage White Dragon City."
"good,"
Zhu Feng said, "Before, the power of Bailong City was in the hands of these few major families. Now that the head of the Cheng family has been killed, and the Murong family is at odds with the Cheng family, these two families can basically be ignored. As long as time goes by, their influence will naturally fade away. The Xue family will move to the Central Plains, and the Song family also intends to pursue a career in politics. As long as the Xie family moves to the Central Plains, then the power in Bailong City will all leave."
“…”
"It will be easier if Chen Zixiao takes over."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "This is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone."
“…”
"This Xie Jiaojiao looks good."
“…”
Zhu Feng did not respond immediately, but remained silent. This silence made Nan Yan feel a little strange. She looked up at him and asked in person, "Your Majesty, what are you thinking about?"
Zhu Feng was silent for a while, then said softly, "But from what I see, she's quite cunning."
"oh……?"
Nan Yan blinked, thought for a moment, and then smiled, "If someone is not very cunning, they can't come to Handongwei to discuss the matter of offering the city. After all, she is still the head of the Xie family."
“…”
"Besides, anyone with less cunning can't keep up with Commander Li."
Zhu Feng lowered his eyelids and said after a while, "That's right."
He had considered the daughters of some important officials in the court for Li Bushang more than once before, but these daughters of officials were either secluded in the boudoir and short-sighted, or they were so delicate that they could be blown down by the wind. It was difficult for people like them to be interested in such women.
Although he was reluctant to admit it, he had to admit that Li Bushan was created by him.
Although his character may not be exactly as he imagined, in some aspects it is very consistent.
For example—
Zhu Feng thought about it and looked down. Nan Yan was still leaning in his arms, looking at him with wide eyes: "Your Majesty?"
Zhu Feng coughed lightly, then said, "Alright, since both you and I are interested in this matter, then it's up to them to decide what to do next."
Nan Yan said: "I will also provide some convenience for them."
Zhu Feng asked, "What did you do again?"
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Speaking of this, I still have to apologize to the emperor. I only heard later that the emperor had placed the heads of several families from Bailong City in the west wing, but the room I arranged for Miss Xie was in the east wing."
"East Wing?"
"It's just opposite Li Bushang."
“…”
Zhu Feng understood immediately.
He smiled lazily and said, "You decide."
Nan Yan said, "If this negotiation goes smoothly and he can return home soon, the Emperor shouldn't assign him any tasks for the time being. Let him have some free time."
At this time, it was already past midnight.
Zhu Feng had been feeling a bit sleepy since returning, and now, after talking for so long, the weariness was like a tide, almost swallowing him up. He yawned, half-closed his eyes, and said, "As you say."
“…”
"He has made a great contribution this time. After he returns, he should take a break."
“…”
"Besides, he's still living in the row houses behind the Northern Pacification Office. Since he's made a contribution this time, I'll reward him with a house. If there's nothing important happening in the capital, let him go and take care of things on his own."
“…”
"Of course, it all depends on whether Miss Xie can seize the opportunity."
Nan Yan laughed, and seeing that Zhu Feng was so tired that he could barely keep his eyes open, she said, "Alright, Your Majesty, stop talking. Let's go to sleep. We have a lot of things to do tomorrow."
"Um."
Zhu Feng narrowed his eyes and waved his hand to extinguish the candlestick beside the bed. The room immediately fell into darkness. He hugged Nan Yan and the two fell into a deep sleep.
|
The two people here had fallen asleep, but the person they were talking about was still sitting under a dim candlelight, staring at something in his hand in a daze.
That thing was the handkerchief that was used to trick Xue Huai'en into revealing his true identity.
There were densely written words on it that he couldn't understand at all.
The writing of the Neng State.
However, even though he couldn't understand it, it didn't stop Li Bushang from taking it out from time to time these days and kneading the handkerchief carefully. Although every time he did this, he had to wait until everything was quiet and everyone around him was asleep.
Beneath the characters of the Dian Kingdom, one's fingertips can clearly feel the dense warp and weft threads woven into the handkerchief, horizontally and vertically, entangled in twists and turns.
It seems that it is also entangled in people's hearts.
The horizontal thread is a thread, the vertical thread is a thread.
But, such thoughts cannot be known to others.
He even remembered that when Nan Yan faced him, no matter how she pretended to be calm, as if nothing had happened, as soon as he approached her, as soon as he touched her, a look of fear would appear on her face and in her eyes.
"Why……"
In the darkness of the night, his hoarse voice asked, "Why are you afraid of me?"
