Chapter 3577 I owe you
Many years later, there were few records of this peace talk in history books, but this peace talk that changed the fate of Yan and Yue still left a significant mark in the history of the two countries and was known as the "Golden Bowl Alliance."
Since then, Yan and Yue entered a century-long period of peace.
The trade between the two countries was prosperous because the raw silk from Yue was continuously imported into Yan, which promoted the silk production in Yan and enabled the silk to be exported overseas. These silks were not only sold to the countries in the Western Regions along the Northwest Silk Road, and even to the more distant Western countries, but also exported to Southeast Asia and Western countries along the sea route opened up by Ye Zheng.
However, no one at the peace talks had imagined the prosperity of maritime trade many years later.
They all breathed a sigh of relief only after Li Wushang agreed to the three conditions in the letter of credence, and Hu Meir was immediately taken away.
This was also the last time Li Wushang saw her.
Since then, he has never seen this woman who made great contributions to him and also held the secret of his life and death. He doesn't know whether she is still alive or has already died, but as long as he cannot be sure of her death, he will always live in the shadow.
In fact, above this layer of shadow, there is an even deeper shadow.
His name is Zhu Feng.
When he looked up at Zhu Feng, the bloodthirsty murderous intent in his wolf-like eyes finally faded away, and he became more peaceful and docile than ever before.
Because he finally understood that he could not defeat this man no matter what.
Even though he had just seriously injured this man a few days ago, at this moment, the pain that Zhu Feng had inflicted had already been doubled upon him.
But at this moment, perhaps because of the fatigue just now, or because he had been restraining himself before, he could not hold on any longer once he relaxed after the big thing was over. Zhu Feng's face quickly turned pale. He covered his chest and almost couldn't breathe.
"emperor!"
Nan Yan hurriedly reached out and hugged him: "Are you okay? Doctor!"
The people below immediately hurried up.
Zhu Feng turned his head and glanced at her. Although he was beginning to lose his temper, he still gave Nan Yan a faint smile and said, "Don't make a fuss. The two children are still over there. Speak slowly and don't scare them."
Nan Yan asked, "The Emperor still cares about this?"
She immediately ordered people to come up and escort Zhu Feng down the platform. A carriage had already been prepared below to immediately send His Majesty the Emperor back to Yongzhou City.
Nan Yan also wanted to go downstairs.
At this moment, Li Wushang's hesitant voice came from behind: "You——"
Nan Yan's footsteps paused.
Then he turned around to look at him, only to see that Li Wushang had also stood up from his seat. His expression was not much better than Zhu Feng's. At this time, when he looked at Nan Yan, those wolf eyes no longer had the possessiveness and predatory nature that could make people feel cold at first glance. On the contrary, his eyes at this moment even looked a little pitiful.
In a trance, Nan Yan seemed to see the child who was living on the streets and in danger of losing his life fifteen years ago.
His name is Li Bushang.
He once carried my love and stayed by my side for so many years.
Nan Yan suddenly felt that all the ferocity and malice in her heart had dissipated like smoke at this moment. She looked at Li Wushang and felt that the grudges and hurts seemed to be nothing.
In fact, both of them knew in their hearts that after this separation, they would probably never see each other again in this life.
Seeing that Li Wushang's throat was choked and he seemed to want to say something but couldn't speak no matter how hard he struggled, Nan Yan paused. She looked at him quietly for a while, then said, "Is there anything else you want to say to me?"
Li Wushang's lips moved for a long time before he finally said, "I lost."
“…”
"No wonder you've never seen me. In front of him, I'm really..." At this point, he smiled bitterly: "Nothing."
Nan Yan looked at him, slowly turned around to face him, and said, "Li Wushang, just because you can't beat him doesn't mean you're incompetent."
“…”
"On the contrary, anyone who dares to take him as an opponent is already a 'strong man'."
“…”
"You can't defeat him, simply because he is Zhu Feng."
Just because he is Zhu Feng.
This one reason alone, although it sounds absurd, is the most difficult mountain for people to overcome. It is more like a huge rock pressing on Li Wuxin's heart, which can never be moved in this lifetime.
He smiled bitterly and said, "I understand."
“…”
"As long as I live, I will never be your enemy again. Yan and Yue will remain friends for generations to come, and I will never let you worry about him because of me again."
Nan Yan's heart trembled slightly, as if someone had touched the softest part of her heart.
Her expression softened as she said, "If that's the case, it would be a blessing for both countries."
She looked at Li Wushang deeply again, thought for a moment, and then said, "Take care."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Li Wushang said, "I have something to give you."
“……?”
Nan Yan was startled, then stopped and turned to look at him. Just as she was about to say something, Li Wushang smiled and said, "You don't have to refuse. It's nothing shameful. It should have been sent to Yongzhou City by now."
“…”
"That's what I promised you a long time ago. I owe you that."
Nan Yan frowned slightly - owe?
As of today, the two of them no longer owe each other anything, so what does Li Wushang still owe her?
However, since he said the things had already arrived in Yongzhou City, there was no room for her to refuse. Nan Yan just said lightly, "Okay."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Li Wushang stood on the high platform, watching her back disappear into the distance.
Chen Wenxiao had been standing by with cold sweat dripping down his face. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief. He slowly walked behind Li Wushang and said softly, "Your Majesty, it's time for us to go back."
Li Wushang did not move.
He looked at the group of people slowly disappearing on the horizon, and then said, "Chen Wenxiao, how many lives can a person live?"
"How many lifetimes?"
Chen Wenxiao frowned slightly and said, "Isn't this life just one life?"
Li Wushang shook his head slightly and said, "People have two lives."
“…”
"The first half of my life is over."
Upon hearing this, Chen Wenxiao looked at the troops of the Emperor and Concubine of Yan State who had disappeared in front of him, and suddenly seemed to understand something.
He only said softly, "Then your majesty, you must look forward."
“…”
Li Wushang looked back at him, then looked at the other side of the platform, at the subjects who were still waiting for him to find out the results of this peace talk. He smiled faintly and walked down.
