The Blood Crown

Feng Ye's hangover only improved in the afternoon, but when he summoned Yan Sikong, he was still in low spirits, his face was pale and swollen, and his eyes were very tired.

Yan Sikong stood aside, waiting expressionlessly.

Feng Ye took a sip of hangover tea slowly, then raised his eyes to look at Yan Sikong, and said in a cold tone, "I heard that you went to find Que last night and forgot."

The group of people that Fengye sent to monitor Yan Sikong would report any disturbances.

Yan Sikong replied: "Yes, I want to find him for a drink."

"Then why did you go back again?" Feng Ye carefully examined Yan Sikong's eyebrows, trying to see something there, but he didn't see anything unusual.

"I see the wolf king is here, so please don't disturb me."

Feng Ye nodded: "Coincidentally, I also want to have a drink with him."

Yan Sikong didn't speak.

Feng Ye put the tea bowl on the table, and there was a crisp thud, which was a bit harsh in the quiet room, and he could hear that the owner of that hand was not in a stable mood. He said straightforwardly: "Your request yesterday, I can promise that after the matter is completed, I will save Chen Yu's life, but he will be grounded for life."

"No." Yan Sikong flatly refused.

Feng Ye narrowed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Yan Sikong looked directly at Feng Ye, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Is there any difference between imprisoning him and killing him? You want to grant him property and property, and let him spend the rest of his life in peace."

Feng Ye clenched his fists: "I spared his life to save face for you, don't push yourself further."

"I don't need face, you and I are colluding, I will give you what you want, and you will give me what I want. Once he is relieved of his military power, he will be nothing. What are you afraid of?" Yan Sikong noticed, After he collected his heart and no longer had any expectations of Feng Ye, he was much calmer when facing this man, this wolf king, at least on the surface.

"You really have a lot of affection for him." Feng Ye said coldly, "He is the eldest prince, the former prince, and now he wants to join the court to deal with me when he crosses the river and demolishes the bridge, and he has unreasonable thoughts about you. I have 1 reasons Kill him, I can save his life for you, but it is absolutely impossible for me to let him go free."

Yan Sikong cupped his hands: "The wolf king has his own decision, so I don't need to say anything."

"What do you mean?" Feng Ye said sharply, "If I don't let Chen Kui go, are you going to fight against me?"

"No, I just ask the wolf king to let me go." Yan Sikong replied unhurriedly. "The wolf king has countless capable people. Now that he has a large number of soldiers in his hands, he looks down on the world. Actually, I don't need me anymore."

"Is it necessary or not, it's not your turn to tell me." Feng Ye breathed unsteadily, gritted his teeth and said, "Even if I don't need you, I won't let you go to Chen Kui."

Perhaps his heart was so painful that it was numb, but now he couldn't feel anything, Yan Sikong remained silent.

Feng Ye looked at Yan Sikong's indifferent expression, the person was clearly in front of him, but he had a feeling that he couldn't touch and grasp it, as if Yan Sikong was firmly moving away from him step by step, this panic was obvious It is nothingness, but it seems so real, he doesn't even know how to hold it tightly in the palm of his hand, which makes him want to go crazy, he said in a deep voice: "Now do you remember, your promise back then, you Said that you would never leave me, you said that you were born as a member of my Fengye, and died as a ghost of my Fengye."

Yan Sikong paused, and said softly: "Everyone has a time when they are careless. Didn't the Wolf King trust me back then?"

"You!" Feng Ye could only feel his blood surging, and there was hatred in his heart, but he didn't know how to vent it.

Yan Sikong didn't want to conflict with him, it was meaningless other than exhausting his mind and mind, he cupped his hands and said: "Wolf King, tomorrow is my father's death day, I want to go up to the north to worship, can you allow some time for your Don't follow me for the time being, it will disturb my father's peace."

Feng Ye took a deep breath and snorted coldly, "Is that how you beg for help?"

Yan Sikong knelt down without hesitation: "I beg the wolf king."

Feng Ye looked down at Yan Sikong: "For the anniversary of your father's death, you are willing to kneel down, and for Chen Yu, what are you willing to do?"

"I am willing to help the Wolf King get what he wants."

Feng Ye leaned forward: "What I want is not only your mind, but also your people."

Yan Sikong raised his head, his expression dull: "I have long been at the mercy of the wolf king."

Obviously such a submissive attitude made Feng Ye feel even more out of control, his face was ashen, his fists were clenched, and he said coldly, "Let Que Wang go with you, get out."

Yan Sikong bowed again, bowed his head and stepped back.

As soon as the door was closed, Yan Sikong heard the sound of teacups being swept to the ground and shattered from inside. He laughed mockingly, thinking to himself why Feng Ye was bothering, why bothering to keep himself torturing each other, making each other unhappy, he was no longer I believe that Feng Ye still has some affection for him, if there is, I am afraid it is just an obsession that cannot be let go.

Obsession with this thing is harmful.

-

Back in his courtyard, Yan Sikong saw Ali standing outside the door, not knowing what he was waiting for.

Seeing Yan Sikong, Ali gestured toward his study, his face full of reluctance.

Yan Sikong frowned, strode over, pushed open the door, and saw a rare guest sitting in the room, also an unwelcome guest——Yuan Shaoxu.

Yuan Shaoxu was fiddling with the sandalwood paperweight on his desk, and seeing him, he showed no signs of inappropriateness, and said flatly, "I'm back."

Yan Sikong closed the door and said vigilantly, "Brother is here."

Ali knew his relationship with Yuan Shaoxu, so he didn't dare to stop him. If it was an ordinary person, Ali would not let anyone enter the door casually.

"Well, I just came here." Yuan Shaoxu said, "Your ugly servant has a scary face. I didn't want to keep him in the room to be an eyesore, so I drove him out. It's okay."

"No problem." Yan Sikong raised the teapot and poured Yuan Shaoxu a cup of tea, "Brother, please use it."

Yuan Shaoxu reached out to take it, took a sip of tea, and squinted at Yan Sikong: "If you don't ask, what am I here for?"

"Brother wouldn't come to see me if he had nothing to do." Yan Sikong sat in the guest seat, his eyes swept across his study room, wanting to see if Yuan Shaoxu had moved anything, but he couldn't see it for a while. Nothing.

"Do you know what day tomorrow is?"

"It's the anniversary of my father's death."

"Just remember." Yuan Shaoxu said, "I'm afraid you'll forget it, so I came here to remind you. I just came from Yuer's place. This is the first time in these years that we gathered on the anniversary of my father's death. Tomorrow we will Brothers go up the mountain together to pay homage to father."

Yan Sikong was suspicious, was it just for this that Yuan Shaoxu came to him?

Yuan Shaoxu saw through his thoughts, and sneered: "I am indeed dissatisfied with you, but after thinking about it, I also feel sorry for you, so let's make it even. Anyway, we two are born at odds, so we can't get along. You don't need to pretend to be a brother and friend, but you know how to repay your kindness, and you are very filial to your father. When he was alive, he really loved you. Tomorrow is the anniversary of his death. We should worship together, that's all. "

Yan Sikong cupped his hands: "What brother said is very true."

Yuan Shaoxu stood up: "I have made an agreement with Yu'er, and we will leave at dawn tomorrow. I have prepared the things for worship. In order to deceive people, we will go three."

"That's natural."

Yuan Shaoxu got up and left without looking back.

After he left, Ali hurried in and explained with gestures: Young Master, I don't know whether I should stop him.

Yan Sikong reassured him: "It's okay, he is my elder brother and a general, you can't stop him, instead, you will get out of the way, I want to check the inside of the house."

Ali sighed and backed away silently.

Yan Sikong opened all the drawers and cabinets in the study and checked them.It's not that he was seriously ill, it's just that Yuan Shaoxu suddenly appeared in his room. He somewhat cared, especially when he helped Feng Ye handle military affairs for a long time, he had a lot of confidential documents. He didn't think Yuan Shaoxu would rebel, but check it out. I can feel at ease.

In the end, he didn't see anything wrong, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Probably because he was too suspicious, especially with so many things happening recently...

Looking at the night, it was already very late, he was still drinking last night, his head was still a little swollen, and he had to get up early tomorrow, so he went to bed.

-

In the early morning of the next day, the sun was about to rise, and the sky was still gray and cold, so the three of them gathered outside Fengye Mansion, all dressed in solemn black.

The reason why they set off so early is that one needs to find an early date for the worship, and the other is that the relationship between the three of them has always been a secret, and they don't want too many people to see it.

Seeing Yan Sikong, although Yuan Nanyu's face covered by the mask could not see any emotion, his eyes were a little strange, as if he hesitated to speak.

Yan Sikong looked as usual, as if what he saw and heard the day before yesterday was all fake, he took the initiative to say: "I went to look for you that day, but when I saw the wolf king, I went back."

"Oh, in this way, sometimes when he is bored, he will ask me for a drink or two."

Yuan Nanyu's explanation sounded really unnecessary, and it felt like a cover-up, but Yan Sikong knew that he did this because he was a person who didn't hide things, and wanted to test whether Yan Sikong saw it. What, this is an advantage and a disadvantage.

Yan Sikong nodded: "You almost grew up from nothing, and you must have supported each other in the same way when you were in trouble."

"Yes." Yuan Nanyu was a little emotional.

Yuan Shaoxu looked at them from the side, looking thoughtful.

"It's only natural that the wolf king trusts you and values ​​you so much." Yan Sikong looked at Yuan Nanyu the same way, "with an arm like yours, the wolf king must be invincible."

"It's all about being wise and loyal."

What a wise and loyal...

Yan Sikong felt sour, but he didn't want to show the slightest bit, he clamped his horse's belly: "Let's go."
