Chapter 3562 I am
“——!”
Nan Yan suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart and looked out the window.
The pitch-black night, like a heavy curtain, covered the entire Yongzhou city, not only blocking out the light, but also seeming to block out all the sounds and movements outside, creating a suffocating feeling of oppression.
However, she was not completely ignorant of what was happening outside.
Just now, the general guarding the city sent someone to the South Courtyard at full speed to report to her, saying that the Yue soldiers attacking the north of the city had withdrawn, and there was no fighting in the city for the time being, so the imperial concubine should rest assured. Nan Yan was not surprised, but she was not completely reassured either. She just waved her hand and asked the people to leave. She lay on the bed with Xinping, talking to her in detail to urge her to sleep, and waiting for time to pass.
But at this moment, she felt an inexplicable sharp pain in her heart, causing her whole body to twitch, but then the pain disappeared without a trace, as if it was just an illusion of her own body.
Nan Yan couldn't help but put her hand over her heart.
"mother?"
Xinping, who was originally half asleep, opened his eyes, looked up at his pale mother, and whispered, "What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?"
Nan Yan was silent for a moment and shook her head: "No."
Xinping rubbed his eyes, looked outside again, and muttered, "Why did I fall asleep?"
"It's late, you should go to bed."
"But, the emperor hasn't come back yet. I have to stay awake the whole time. I want to wait for the emperor to come back, and Cheng Jun as well. I want to wait and see him come back safely."
Nan Yan lowered her head and looked at her again before she said softly, "Don't worry, they will all come back safely."
Xinping smiled and said, "I'm not worried. I know my father is very powerful and he will definitely not lose."
Nan Yan also smiled at her.
In fact, these are the words she has been telling her daughter and herself since Zhu Feng left. After going through so much over the years, she has enough confidence in Zhu Feng and believes that he can overcome any crisis and that no difficulty in this world can defeat him.
only--
She reached out her hand to her chest with some lingering fear. Although it had returned to calm, the sharp pain she had just felt was clearly not an illusion.
What happened?

At the same time, the red spot on Zhu Feng's chest had soaked through his clothes and was constantly expanding.
"His Majesty!"
Li Wushang's backhand sword pierced his heart.
However, it was a broken sword, which was originally shorter than an ordinary sword. In addition, Zhu Feng immediately raised his knife to press against the hilt of the sword, abruptly stopping his attack. Therefore, the broken sword only penetrated a little into his chest and got stuck.
The blades rubbed against each other, making a harsh sound.
Even the horses they were riding were pulled to a halt by the powerful force.
Li Wushang stopped behind Zhu Feng. Although he didn't see him, his nose had already detected the faint smell of blood. He said in a deep voice, "What I learned from you is more than what you saw."
Zhu Feng gritted his teeth and used all his strength to support the long sword in his hand.
At this moment, his expression could no longer remain as calm as before. His breathing became short and his eyes turned red.
He said, "Is this what has sustained you in your reluctance to give up for so many years?"
Hearing these three words, Li Wushang's eyes turned red again in an instant.
He said hoarsely, "Whether I have learned this or not, I will never be reconciled."
“…”
"I can't accept that you had it all from the beginning, while I had to fight and endure for so many years, but still couldn't get what I wanted."
"What you want..."
When Zhu Feng heard these words, a faint light flickered in his eyes, like pity, but also like ridicule. After a long while, he slowly said, "Why haven't you considered that you've already received too much? Perhaps what you've been asking for but can't get was never meant to be yours in the first place."
Li Wushang's heart trembled again.
Zhu Feng said, "Do you think I really don't know what you did to her?"
“…”
"Do you think that if you ask, she will belong to you?"
“…”
"In fact, you should have seen one thing clearly earlier, especially when you confessed your feelings to her, she had just broken up with me. Even then, you couldn't win her over, so how could you win her over now?"
The broken sword in Li Wushang's hand pierced Zhu Feng's heart, causing blood to flow.
But in fact, his heart is full of holes.
He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Why?"
Zhu Feng said, "At that time, she broke up with me and didn't choose you. The fact is clear. She is not a woman who must find another man after losing one."
“…”
“She’s a woman who only wants what she wants.”
“…”
"The reason why she didn't choose you and why she kept rejecting you is for one reason only—you're not the one she's looking for."
“…”
"I am."
At this moment, although the broken sword was stabbed in Zhu Feng's chest, the pain seemed to be transmitted from Li Wushang's arm through the broken sword to his heart, piercing his soul. He trembled violently, and Zhu Feng took advantage of the momentum and pushed forward with the knife, and the broken sword in Li Wushang's hand was pulled out from his heart.
With a "hiss" sound, blood gushed out from his heart.
However, the one who was really seriously injured by the severe pain was Li Wushang behind him. He swayed a few times on the horse's back and almost fell off. He finally managed to steady his body, but he could not control the severe pain in his heart. Suddenly, he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"His Majesty!"
Chen Wenxiao and the others became anxious and rushed over.
This time, Fang Buyuan and others finally did not wait for Zhu Feng's order and hurriedly led the team forward. The two horses under them seemed to sense something at this time and immediately trotted back to their respective camps. Chen Wenxiao and others hurriedly helped Li Wushang down from the horse.
He was clearly not injured at all, and he even hurt Zhu Feng, but at this moment, his face was pale, and the corners of his mouth were stained with blood. He fell limply in the crowd like a puppet without its strings. When he looked up at Zhu Feng again, his wolf-like eyes no longer had the sharpness and murderous intent they once had.
There is only the dejection of failure.
Even though Zhu Feng was stabbed in the heart and was escorted back to the camp by the crowd, he insisted on staying on his horse. He looked back at Li Wushang and said calmly, "Tonight, we will still have one win and one loss."
“…”
"Go back and clean up your Doubei Town. I will meet you again at Doubei Slope in three days."
“…”
"At that time, you know which way to go next."
