Li Changsheng looked bewildered, nodding slightly as if talking to himself: "I knew it! Even if you're good friends, you shouldn't live together. Only husband and wife can live together. The Regent isn't my brother-in-law..."
Feng Beichuan watched the kid's act silently from the side, and couldn't help but smile, thinking that one day he would start calling him brother-in-law.
Li Chang'an felt like he had been struck by lightning.
This little brat knows quite a lot!
"Alright, alright, you guys go to sleep now. If you don't sleep, I'm going to sleep too!"
Li Chang'an was getting a little impatient with the disturbance, so he wanted to get rid of the two of them as soon as possible.
Feng Beichuan hesitated, wanting to linger, but Li Chang'an pushed and kicked him out.
"If all else fails, Regent, you can sleep in my tent. I won't mind!"
Li Changsheng watched the spectacle from the sidelines, not wanting it to get any worse.
"I despise you!"
Feng Beichuan was really annoyed by this brat.
"You two, don't bother me if you don't have anything to do, and don't come even if you do!"
Li Chang'an gave the two men a stern warning, then forcefully slammed the tent shut.
Feng Beichuan and Li Changsheng stood outside, and seemed to feel a cold wind blowing past.
"You made me come all this way in the middle of the night just to spout this nonsense?"
Li Changsheng frowned as he looked at Feng Beichuan, his face showing some dissatisfaction.
"How can you say that's nonsense? Don't worry, things will definitely be done well. This trip won't be in vain."
Feng Beichuan, with a mysterious air, winked at Li Changsheng before turning and walking toward Deputy General Sun's tent.
Before going in, Feng Beichuan lingered at the door for a while with a hint of disdain before finally entering with his hands behind his back and a slight frown.
Li Changsheng wasn't sure what Feng Beichuan's plan was either. He had asked him several times before, but Feng wouldn't tell him. So he gave up and returned to his tent with a belly full of questions.
As soon as he lay down on the bed, Li Changsheng let out a long yawn. He rubbed his wet eyes and drowsily thought that he hoped his wishes would come true when he woke up tomorrow morning.
It was soon late at night, the moon was high in the sky, and all was quiet. The people in the tents had long since fallen asleep.
"Ah! Help!"
A scream suddenly shattered the silence of the night, sounding particularly terrifying in the darkness.
"Help! Help! Someone, come quickly and save this prince!"
The screams came from Li Changsheng's tent.
At this moment, the child no longer had the fearless demeanor he usually displayed. He was now clutching the blankets tightly in the corner of the bed, his little face as pale as paper, and his whole body was trembling uncontrollably.
His eyes were fixed on the ground not far ahead, not daring to look away for even a moment.
A snake was coiled on the ground, its body bent over, its sinister pupils staring intently at the person on the bed.
This snake was as thick as Li Changsheng's forearm!
Li Changsheng felt his heart pounding so hard it was about to explode, and all the blood in his body seemed to be rushing to his head.
Just as he was drifting off to sleep, he suddenly felt a cool sensation on his face, as if something was pressing down on it. Then he heard a series of low, hissing roars in his ear.
Startled awake, Li Changsheng was almost scared out of his wits by what he saw—a snake was lying on his bedding, and half of its tail was draped over his face!
He immediately screamed and threw off the blanket, and the snake flew out and landed on the ground.
Li Changsheng felt like he was about to die on the spot.
This was the first time in his life he had ever seen such a large, live snake.
What's even more terrifying is that after the snake was thrown to the ground, it didn't leave. Instead, it leisurely crawled around on the ground and then coiled up half of its body, occasionally raising its head and flicking its long tongue at Li Changsheng.
"Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer! Help!"
Li Changsheng was so frightened that he cried and screamed, his snot blowing into bubbles.
"What happened?"
Feng Beichuan was the first to arrive, and he was genuinely surprised when he saw the snake on the ground.
"Regent, help me!"
Upon seeing someone arrive, Li Changsheng felt as if he had seen his savior, and he shouted so excitedly that his voice cracked.
Wow!
This time they went a bit too far.
Feng Beichuan inwardly cried out in alarm, but after examining the snake's appearance, he determined that it was not venomous, and his anxiety subsided slightly.
He looked around, trying to find something to pick the snake out.
But before he could find the tools, another person barged in.
It is Li Chang'an.
After seeing what was on the ground, Li Chang'an immediately swung his knife and struck the snake on its vital spot without saying a word.
The snake's head and body separated on the spot. Most of the snake's body writhed a few times on the ground in resentment before finally becoming completely still.
There was a small splatter of blood on the ground. Although the amount of bleeding was not much, it might be psychological, but it made people feel that the tent was full of the smell of blood.
"vomit……"
Li Changsheng, who was hiding in bed trembling, suddenly turned extremely pale after seeing the snake's corpse, and then clutched his chest and began to retch.
"Are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?"
Li Chang'an rushed over, grabbed Li Changsheng's shoulders, pulled off the blankets, looked him over from left to right, and then took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth. His slightly furrowed brows never relaxed from beginning to end.
At this moment, Li Changsheng was no longer able to speak. He shook his head and gasped for breath, his face still looking extremely pale.
At this moment, Feng Beichuan also went over to help him gently pat his back to help him catch his breath.
"Wow!"
After a while, Li Changsheng finally recovered and burst into tears as if his soul had returned to his body.
This commotion caused quite a stir, and Ye Lingxiao and several other soldiers whose tents were nearby also rushed in.
Seeing the snake's corpse on the ground and Li Changsheng wailing, everyone roughly guessed what had happened.
"You weren't bitten by a snake, were you?"
Ye Lingxiao asked with some concern, then looked at Li Chang'an and waved his hand before feeling relieved. He then went out to get a broom and cleaned up the snake's body. The other soldiers wiped up the bloodstains on the ground and went back after confirming that everything was alright.
"I was almost eaten by a snake, waah..."
At this moment, Li Changsheng was sobbing uncontrollably, his snot and tears smearing all over the bedding, and some even onto Li Chang'an's body.
Seeing his younger brother so terrified, Li Chang'an felt terrible and puzzled. He couldn't understand how such a big snake could have suddenly crawled into his tent.
