Chapter 2689 What are you doing again?
He thought for a moment, then looked up at Li Bushang and said, "There's one thing I don't understand."
Li Bushang had originally planned to turn around and explain other things.
Hearing this, he stopped again and looked back at him: "Mr. Song, is there anything else you don't understand?"
"The knife."
Song Zhiwen frowned and said in a deep voice, "The goose-feather knife used as the murder weapon was one of your Jinyiwei's. Of course, now it seems that this knife should not be the real murder weapon, but why did it appear around our camp?"
“…”
"Weren't you guys here yet when Uncle Cheng was killed?"
“…”
"No one has come yet, why is the knife here?"
“…”
"You just guessed their actions and their purpose. The evidence is all there, but why didn't you solve the problem of the knife?"
“…”
After hearing these words, Li Bushang's expression remained indifferent, as if it had nothing to do with him.
Finally, he said, "Everything has been resolved, the truth has been found, and the issue of the knife is no longer a problem."
Song Zhiwen frowned.
Although the truth had indeed been discovered, he was completely unconcerned about the knife being the evidence that identified him as the murderer.
This is not at all like his attitude as the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
But Li Bu Shang seemed to be completely unconcerned, and said calmly, "If they want to frame me, they'll have to find a way. Since we've already lost so many knives, we can always find them and pass them on."
“…”
"There's no point in asking more questions."
After saying that, he looked up at the sky and said, "Mr. Song, it's getting late. So many things have happened today. I think you should go to bed early."
“…”
"We have to set off early tomorrow morning, so it's important to get enough rest and stay alert."
After saying that, he turned around and left without waiting for Song Zhiwen to say anything else.
Song Zhiwen stood there, looking at his back, without saying a word for a long time. He just lowered his head to look at the letter in his hand, his face solemn.
Li Bushang turned around and left. After taking a few steps, he saw Xie Jiaojiao standing in front of him.
Although people were coming and going around, and the torches they were holding were constantly shining, the light and shadows on people's faces were swaying, making their expressions look a little gloomy, but as soon as she saw Li Bushang, she immediately ran over.
"Li Bu Shang!"
Li Bushang looked down at her.
Her face was filled with mixed feelings of joy and sorrow. She was probably happy to see him escape unharmed from the fire where he was murdered, but she was also sad that a friend she grew up with would attack their elders. For a moment, she struggled and didn't know what to say.
On the contrary, Li was not hurt.
He looked at her calmly for a moment, then said, "Go and have a rest."
After saying that, he left.
“……!”
Xie Jiaojiao stood there, as if she was still unable to react. When Li Bushan had walked away, the wind he brought blew across her face, causing the hair by her ears to gently touch her cheeks, bringing a tingling sensation. Only then did she seem to come to her senses and suddenly turned around to look at Li Bushan's back.
A hint of joy appeared in his eyes.
Not far away, Song Zhiwen looked at her back, and also at Li Bushang's back which had already blended into the night. There was a mixture of sadness and joy in his eyes. Finally, he sighed, turned around and left.

Early in the morning, Nan Yan opened her eyes from a deep dream.
He subconsciously reached out his hand and felt that the quilt beside him was empty, but there was still a little warmth. It was obvious that Zhu Feng had just gotten up not long ago.
I didn't even notice it.
She pouted and struggled in the quilt for a while, but she still resisted the temptation of the dream and the warm quilt. She got up and put on her clothes. However, just as she reached the door, it was pushed open from the outside.
A gust of cold wind blew in, making her shiver.
“Woo!”
The person standing at the door was none other than Zhu Feng, who had disappeared early in the morning.
He originally thought that it was still early and planned to come back for a nap, but he didn't expect that when he opened the door, he saw Nan Yan also pushing the door open. She was dressed so lightly that she didn't even put on her shoes and was about to go out. She was shivering in the cold wind outside. He immediately frowned.
"What are you doing again?"
"emperor?"
Nan Yan subconsciously shrank her neck and shoulders, hugging herself with her hands, but she was still cold. When Zhu Feng saw this, he immediately walked in, closed the door, and grabbed her in his arms.
As he walked towards the bed, he cursed, "You want to go out wearing so little? What do you want to do?"
In fact, it wasn't that cold originally. She just crawled out of the bed, and her warm body couldn't withstand the cold wind, so she felt so cold. Now that she was hugged by Zhu Feng, the familiar smell and body temperature of him surrounded her, and she immediately became submissive.
Just the tip of my nose is still a little itchy.
Nan Yan put her arms around his neck and chuckled, "I couldn't see the emperor just now, so I was worried."
"What are you worried about? What do I have to worry about?"
"I'm worried. What if the Emperor does something bad?"
“…”
Zhu Feng rolled his eyes at her.
He walked to the bedside, wanting to throw her down, but his hands were still very gentle. After putting her on the bed, he immediately pulled the quilt to wrap her up, and said, "You had a high fever a while ago. If you get sick again, I will show you how I will deal with you!"
Nan Yan curled up in the quilt for a while and finally felt warm.
Seeing Zhu Feng taking off his coat and getting into the quilt, she took the opportunity to get into his arms. Zhu Feng was a little cold as he had just come back from outside, but fortunately, the two of them were close together, their body temperatures warmed each other, and they soon warmed up.
Nan Yan looked up at him: "It's so early, it's not even daybreak yet, what did the emperor do just now?"
Zhu Feng half-closed his eyes, half asleep, and said lazily, "I've dispatched a team of troops to leave Handongwei."
"Transferring more troops? What for?"
"The news from Li Bushang has come back. His situation has been almost resolved. We need to send someone to Bailong City as soon as possible to inform the major families of what has happened here."
“…”
Nan Yan blinked.
In fact, ever since Tian Lian came back with Li Bushang's letter, although they were so far apart and didn't know who the real murderer was, everyone knew that this was a trap set by those who disagreed with surrendering the city.
On the surface, Li Bushang was indeed in a dilemma.
But, as Zhu Feng and Nan Yan said before, the chess piece is outside the game. If this situation can be broken, the whole game will come alive, and even Bailong City will be trapped in this game.
The news he sent back next also confirmed this.
The "internecine fighting" in Bailong City gave them this opportunity.
Nan Yan suddenly laughed and said, "I'm afraid it's not as simple as just going to inform you of the news."
