Chapter 3526: How to rule the world if you don’t have the support of the people?
Nan Yan looked at him with a frown, feeling a chill all over her body.
She said in a hoarse voice, "Just because of me, you have no feelings for anyone else in the world? Even if this person is your wife, even if she loves you wholeheartedly, you can still be so cold and heartless to her?"
Li Bushang said calmly, "Why not?"
Nan Yan shook her head slightly.
"Of course not."
Li Bushang also frowned. He was a martial artist. Once he frowned and looked gloomy, an aura of keeping strangers away, that is, murderous aura, would rise from his body. Even the horse beside him seemed to be frightened and took a step back with a snort.
Nan Yan, however, was not afraid at all. She stared straight into his cold eyes and said, "It's not that there is no one else in your eyes except me, it's that you love me."
“…”
"If you don't have the emotions of a normal person, why should I believe you can love someone?"
“…”
"Even if I want to stay with someone forever, the prerequisite is that he is still a human being, he has human warmth and human feelings. But you, you don't have that."
“…”
"Li is not hurt,"
She looked at the man in front of her with a complicated expression and said painfully, "If only I hadn't met you back then."
At this moment, Li Bushang's eyes turned red.
He could not care less about anyone's denial or even harm to him, but Nan Yan's words, just this one sentence, negated all his efforts and even negated everything about him.
He trembled and said, "Do you regret it?"
“…”
"You don't want me to follow you, or would you rather I die in that disaster?"
Nan Yan shook her head gently: "No, it's not."
“…”
"I just regret that if I hadn't been the one who met you, it would have been better."
“…”
"It would be better if the person who saved you wasn't me."
Li Bushang's whole body was still shaking violently. Although he was so tall, at this moment, he was as helpless as a child.
He asked dryly, "Why?"
Nan Yan said seriously, "If it wasn't me, if it was an ordinary person, even a poor commoner who saved you and raised you, you wouldn't have such a paranoid idea, and you wouldn't have spent half your life living for yourself. You would have a normal life, perhaps hard, but at least free and easy."
At this moment, behind them, in the dark night, a deep voice came -
"He was never going to have a normal life."
When she heard the voice, Nan Yan's heart skipped a beat and she turned around quickly. But Li Bushang was even faster than her. He rushed over, grabbed Nan Yan's arm and pulled her into his arms.
"you--"
Nan Yan couldn't break free and could only look up and forward, but saw a group of people slowly walking towards this side in the night.
The sound of horse hooves and the chaotic breathing made this originally quiet and even somewhat stagnant night gradually become turbulent.
After a while, a group of people on horseback came up to them.
The firelight also illuminated the tall figure on horseback.
It’s Zhu Feng!
"emperor!"
Nan Yan's heart was beating wildly. Originally, in such an environment, seeing Zhu Feng should have made her feel at ease, but on the contrary, at this moment she felt as if someone was strangling her neck with a hand, and even her breathing was suffocated.
She was about to say something when she heard the sound of horse hooves coming out from behind Zhu Feng with a hint of timidity.
At this time, all the guards behind Li Bushang had rushed forward, and the torches held high in their hands made crackling sounds, quickly illuminating the somewhat timid figure.
"Shinkei!?"
Nan Yan couldn't believe her eyes.
The one riding behind Zhu Feng was none other than Princess Xinping, who had been missing for many days and could not be found even after digging three feet deep in the ground in Yongzhou City!
Nan Yan said: "You, how come you——"
Before she could finish her words, she felt the hand next to her grabbing her arm suddenly tighten, causing her to almost cry out in pain. Nan Yan turned around and saw Li Bushan's face filled with disbelief. He stared at Princess Xinping with wide eyes, then seemed to understand something before glaring at Zhu Feng fiercely.
"you--"
Zhu Feng rode on horseback and said calmly, "Don't be too surprised."
“…”
"My daughter is so noble. After she disappeared, I dug three feet deep in Yongzhou City. How could I not visit your house?"
Li Bushang's eyes were red, and he was breathing heavily, like the low growl of a wild animal. "You didn't come because you knew it a long time ago?"
Zhu Feng said calmly, "The Embroidered Spring Blade is useful, but you shouldn't use it all the time or for everything."
Li Bushang's heart sank suddenly.
He immediately understood: "You, have you seen the wound on Jia Si's body?"
Zhu Feng said, "I have said before that my daughter is so noble and she was kidnapped. I will naturally investigate every detail."
“…”
"Li Bu Shang, you are too careless."
“…”
"Or do you think that everything you planned could escape my eyes, so you let your guard down?"
Li Bushang stood still. Zhu Feng had appeared, and before he'd even started fighting, his few words had already hit him like a hammer, overwhelming him with their power. At that moment, he didn't know what to say or do, so he just gripped Nan Yan's arm tightly with one hand.
It seemed that as long as he held on to her, he would not lose her completely.
At this time, Xinping timidly called out: "Mom..."
Her face was filled with guilt and remorse, wishing there was a crack for her to crawl into. Especially when she saw her mother worrying about her and now she was in danger, her eyes were red and she whispered, "I know I was wrong."
Zhu Feng looked down at her.
No matter how willful and mischievous his daughter had been to him before, she was the softest part of his heart after all. Especially seeing her frightened and timid look now, it was obvious that she was frightened by the killing scene when he had just rescued her.
So he reached out and pressed his daughter's head with a little force, signaling her not to say anything more.
Then he looked up at Li Bushang and Nan Yan.
"You've been careless in more ways than one. You knew Xie Jiaojiao wasn't on the same page with you, so how could you have put the most crucial person in her hands? You can't even see through people's hearts, so how can you expect others to give their hearts to you?"
“…”
"If you don't win the support of the people, how can you rule the world?"
These words, like a thunderclap, suddenly struck the silent wilderness.
Li Bushan froze in place.
He stared at Zhu Feng, his voice hoarse and trembling unconcealed as he spoke: "You, you can't possibly know... How could you know?"
