The Blood Crown

In the battle of Taiyuan, Feng Ye lost [-] soldiers and horses under the towering south city gate, and there were countless wounded. The heavy losses in this battle were almost equal to the large and small battles he has fought since he started his army. In sum, but the harvest of this battle is also unprecedentedly huge.

From Qingyang, to Yanzhou, and then to Taiyuan, this is a complete thoroughfare leading from the northwest to the southeast. They occupied the military fortress in the hinterland of the Central Plains. Strategically, they were able to block the food transportation of the imperial army. Not to mention how much wealth and troops can be gathered here, no matter how many people are lost in this battle, they will recruit more.

With Taiyuan as the base, if there is any obstacle on the way to the capital, there will be a way out.

After stationing in Taiyuan, the high walls and deep moats gave them a great sense of security. The soldiers were all in high spirits, and the city that had just changed hands had returned to life.

The people don't care who is in power, as long as they can live and work in peace and have three meals a day, they are willing to work diligently on the land and support the people in peace.

Most of the former Taiyuan guards died, surrendered, Luo Ruoxin didn't wait for Feng Ye to catch him and behead him, and hanged himself. His grandfather was a general of the same generation, guarding the rivers and mountains side by side, and spared the family members of the Luo family. However, a large amount of gold and silver treasures, rare calligraphy and paintings were seized from the Luo family, worth as much as one million taels, all of which were used as military supplies.

Feng Ye greatly rewarded those who made great achievements in this battle, and ordered a three-day celebration, and Taiyuan suddenly became a city that never sleeps.

After a banquet, the generals dispersed one after another, Feng Ye couldn't hold enough alcohol, because he was happy, he drank with open mind and guts, so he was escorted to the bedroom early.

Yan Sikong supported Yuan Nanyu, whose body was limp, and reprimanded him unnoticed in his tone: "I advised you to find a place to hide, why do you have to drink so much?"

Yuan Nanyu smiled and said, "Happy, happy."

"Just now they drank too much and said they wanted to take off your mask to see your true face, what should you do?"

"Pick...pick it, hahahaha." Yuan Nanyu said with a big tongue, "My face may not...can't see people...hahahaha..."

Yan Sikong sighed, thinking to himself, he really drank too much, he said helplessly, "If I don't stop me, something will happen today." He called the guards to help him support Yuan Nanyu, and sent him to the inner courtyard to rest.

After sending him to the room, Yan Sikong dismissed the guards, took off Yuan Nanyu's shoes and undressed himself, placed him on the bed, and then took off the mask that never left him.

There was a faint faintness of drunkenness on that handsome face, and his half-closed eyes were wet. He was clearly a great general who killed all directions. No matter how many times you look at the light ink punishment tattoo, it can still hurt Yan Sikong's eyes.

Yan Sikong stretched out his hand lightly, caressing the tattoo that represented a lifetime of humiliation, his fingertips burned from the uneven touch.

Yuan Nanyu smiled confusedly: "It's okay..."

"This word is already very faint, and it can be covered with Yi Rong's ointment." Yan Sikong said softly, "Have you thought about taking off the mask?"

Yuan Nanyu shook his head: "After wearing the mask for a long time, it's not easy to take it off."

"Is it because of me?" Yan Sikong said dejectedly, "If outsiders know that we are brothers...it's really okay, I'm just afraid that someone with a heart will follow the vine and investigate our past, but even then, I don't have too many worries .”

"This mask..." Yuan Nanyu thought for a while before saying, "I will take it off when we avenge my father and I have the face to go to his grave to meet him."

Yan Sikong nodded, stroked his hair lightly, and said with emotion: "You have grown so big."

Yuan Nanyu looked at Yan Sikong in a daze, lost his mind for a moment, some familiar and unfamiliar pictures flickered in his mind, he seemed to see them when they were young, but he was too sleepy, his vision was blurred and difficult, and he was unable to distinguish them for a while.His eyelids became heavier, and they closed slowly irresistibly, but at the moment before his consciousness finally fell into darkness, he subconsciously called out, "Second Brother..."

Yan Sikongyuan was also slightly drunk. When he heard these two words, he was struck by lightning and woke up completely. He pressed Yuan Nanyu's shoulder: "What did you call me? What did you call me?"

It's a pity that Yuan Nanyu has already fallen asleep.

Yan Sikong stared blankly at Yuan Nanyu's defenseless sleeping face for a long time, as if he saw the young man who ate and slept with him day and night and was intimate with him, he couldn't hide his sadness and loss, and cried out He took a deep breath: "Yu'er, can you still remember?"

After leaving Yuan Nanyu's room, Yan Sikong wanted to rest, but Wu Liuqi said that the wolf king was looking for him everywhere and told him to hurry over.

Hurrying to Feng Ye's bedroom, he saw Feng Ye losing his temper at the guards: "Where are the people? You don't know where they are, and everyone has no eyes?"

"Wolf King." Yan Sikong called softly.

Feng Ye turned his head, and the moment he saw Yan Sikong, he seemed relieved, then frowned and said, "Where are you going?"

"I sent General Que back to his room to rest. He was so drunk that he passed out." Yan Sikong looked a little tired, "Didn't you drink too much? What did you ask me for?" Although Feng Ye gets drunk easily, he sobers up very quickly.

"I'm quick to go up and down, and you're gone, so I'm going to look for you." Feng Ye said to the guards, "I'll ask where Lord Yan is in the future, and you're not allowed to answer that I don't know. go down."

The guard Qiqi replied in fear, "Yes."

After people withdrew, Yan Sikong said puzzledly: "What is this for? I am a living person, so I can lose it."

Feng Ye lay on the bed, and stretched out his hand to him: "Come."

Yan Sikong walked over, Feng Ye grabbed his hand, pulled him into his arms, and secretly tightened his arms.

Yan Sikong said helplessly: "What's the matter with you?" At this time, Feng Ye was actually showing a bit of childlike stubbornness.

"I had a dream that day."

"What dream?"

"I dreamed that you disappeared." Feng Ye whispered into Yan Sikong's ear, "I always feel that you will disappear, you don't seem to belong to any place, and you don't even bother to belong to anyone. I don't know how to feel that Rest assured."

Yan Sikong knew that these words that seemed to show weakness, if Feng Ye hadn't been drinking too much wine, he would never have said it out. There was a burst of deep affection in his heart, he hugged Feng Ye's waist, and said in a low voice: "This world is so big, only by your side, I can use the word 'go back'."

"Then will you go?"

"will not."

"What if I leave?"

"Then 'go back'."
