Chapter 215: Disrupting the morale of the army will result in death
It was not until the sun set and night fell that Li Bushang finally woke up from his nightmare.
He was covered in cold sweat, but when he opened his eyes, he saw a candlelight on the bedside. Nan Yan was sitting on a small stool, staring at the candlelight in a daze. The orange-red light shone on her beautiful face, revealing an exceptionally warm atmosphere.
The confusion in Li Bushang's dream was dispelled in an instant.
However, he saw tears in Nan Yan's eyes and immediately called out, "Nan Yan."
Nan Yan was startled and turned around quickly. She saw Li Bushang had woken up at some point and was sitting at the head of the bed looking at her. She quickly reached out and wiped her eyes: "Are you awake? Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"
"Are you crying?"
"I don't."
"You're obviously crying!" Li Bushan jumped off the bed and walked barefoot to her: "Who bullied you? I'll help you beat him with my slingshot!"
“…”
Although she still felt a little sad, Nan Yan couldn't help laughing when she saw Li Bushang holding the slingshot seriously and wanting to help her "avenge".
Li Bushang said, "Don't laugh, I'm serious. I won't allow anyone to bully you!"
Although his words were still childish, his concern and tenderness were genuine. Nan Yan felt a surge of tenderness in her heart. She couldn't help but reach out and stroke his hair, which was a little messy from sleeping. She smiled and said, "I'm fine. No one bullied me."
"Then why are you crying?"
"I—, it's just because I broke another bowl and I feel bad."
"Did you break a bowl?"
Li Bushan turned his head and saw several broken pieces of bowls piled on the table.
He hurriedly said, "What's the big deal about breaking a bowl? Don't feel bad. I'll buy you a hundred from now on!"
Nan Yan was amused by him again.
Although she was sad, she had no time to think about it because of the child's noise. Nan Yan asked him to put on his clothes and then brought him some food.
Li Bushang stood at the door of the tent, looking at the bonfires burning in the distance, and said softly, "Why is it so quiet tonight?"
"This is a military camp, of course it's quiet."
"Is there going to be a war?"
“…”
Nan Yan had originally put some food into his bowl, but when she heard this, she paused for a moment and said, "I don't know either."
But she still remembered that when she left the palace, Heyi once told her to persuade the emperor not to start a war easily.
She didn't understand the big picture, but she still agreed with He Yi's words.
After all, war is not a good thing.
Li Bu Shang picked up the bowl and muttered, "I can't win in a fight anyway."
Nan Yan turned to look at him: "What?"
"I said, if Yan State wants to go to war with Yue State, it will not win."
"Don't talk nonsense. This is a military camp. Saying such things will disrupt the morale of the army and you will be beheaded."
Hearing her warning, Li Bushang pouted and lowered his head to eat.
But Nan Yan herself felt a little uneasy. After a while, she asked him softly, "Why do you think you can't win?"
Li Bushan took a large sip of porridge, then quickly swallowed it when he heard her question. He said, "Because we rarely win. Nanyan, you're a girl, you don't know how to fight. Yan fights Yue more than a dozen times a year, and every time they fight, Yue retreats. And when Yue retreats, Yan pursues, and in the end, they always retreat in disgrace, with more casualties than deaths."
“…”
Nan Yan was silent for a while, then suddenly looked at him: "How do you know?"
