The Blood Crown

It's only a few days away from Fengye's big wedding.

Yan Sikong heard rumors that King Yong knew he was on the wrong boat after he learned that Emperor Zhaowu had deposed Chen Chun and that Chen Kuang intended to form an alliance with the imperial court. —He ordered Wang Shen to lead an army of [-] to "receive the relatives".

This is not a marriage reception, it is clearly a snatching of a marriage.

King Yong knew that riding a tiger would be difficult, so he obediently handed over Princess Yunlong. At this time, the army was on the way back to the city, and the auspicious day would never be missed.

As for Yan Sikong, after returning from worship that day, he stayed behind closed doors almost all day.

One was that people sent by Feng Ye followed him everywhere, and the other was that Feng Ye quietly relinquished his authority, making him almost an idler.

The two couldn't reach an agreement on Chen Kui's matter, so they could only be deadlocked like this, and Feng Ye was busy with his wedding recently, so he didn't have time to talk to him.

Besides, he didn't want to go out either, the bright red all over the yard, and the strange eyes of the servants looking at him were too dazzling.

However, although he locked himself in the house, his mind was always floating outside.The current situation is a dilemma for him, he can't sleep all night and night, trying to guess his own destiny and Dasheng's national destiny from the existing details, even though he knows it is futile.

Feng Ye's ambition, Chen Kui's betrayal, Shen Hexuan's plot, the imperial court's constraints, and even the iron stick that appeared out of nowhere, all made him worried and anxious, as if a sharp knife was hanging from his neck. The guillotine will fall down at some point.

And his fears soon came true.

When Wu Liuqi came to him with a disturbed expression and said that Feng Ye wanted to see him, he felt that something was wrong.

"It's so late, why does the Wolf King want to see me?" It was almost midnight at this time, if Feng Ye wanted to see him, there was no need to send someone to summon him, he would come directly.

Wu Liuqi peeked at Yan Sikong: "Your servant Ali was arrested by the Wolf King."

Yan Sikong was startled: "Why?"

"I don't know, please go quickly."

Yan Sikong didn't care about wearing thick clothes, and hurried towards Fengye's other courtyard.

Running into the courtyard, he saw that Feng Ye's house was brightly lit, the door was open, and there were two groups of guards standing at the door, each holding a torch in one hand and a sword in the other.

The atmosphere is extraordinary.

Yan Sikong rushed into the house, but saw Feng Ye and Yuan Nanyu were there, Feng Ye's expression was so cold that it made people tremble, and Ali knelt on the ground, tied up by five flowers.

"What happened?" Yan Sikong said loudly, "What did Ali do?"

Ali pointed at Yan Sikong, trying to say something, but couldn't say anything, and was about to cry.

Feng Ye looked at Yan Sikong's eyes, as if there was no human warmth: "Aren't you the most clear about what Ali did?"

Yan Sikong said in a deep voice, "Please tell me clearly, the Wolf King."

Yuan Nanyu stared at Yan Sikong with complicated eyes, his lips moved twice, but he still didn't speak in the end.

"You asked him to find some people from the world, why?"

"Those are She Zhun's people. In order to obtain information from all directions, I have been in touch with She Zhun all the time. What's wrong with that?"

"You still want to cheat?" Feng Ye said coldly, "The person he went to find has already confessed in prison. It was you who asked Ali to buy a murderer. The person who killed was a man nicknamed 'Iron Zhangzi' Poe drunk."

Yan Sikong stared blankly at Feng Ye.

Feng Ye slammed the case hard, and growled, "Yes or no!"

"……Yes."

Ali began to struggle hard, and there was an inhuman movement in his throat. He was so strong that it took several guards to press him to the ground.

"Why, why." Feng Ye gritted his teeth and asked, "You dare to lie, I cut him!"

Yan Sikong has already realized that the matter is not simple, if it is only found out that he "buyed a murderer to kill someone", it is not a big deal, unless Feng Ye knew that Tie Zhangzi secretly communicated with Chen Kui, so he misunderstood.He took a deep breath: "I'm afraid this matter is not worthy of the wolf king's fury, there must be other reasons."

Yuan Nanyu couldn't help but said: "Master Yan, you can tell the whole thing, if there is any misunderstanding, I believe the wolf king will not wrong you."

Yan Sikong narrowed his eyes, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

Feng Ye glared at Yan Sikong viciously, as if wishing he could go up and swallow him in his stomach, he clenched his fists: "Que Wang, tell me."

Yuan Nanyu rubbed his hands in embarrassment, looked at Feng Ye, then at Yan Sikong, and said in a low voice: "Today, the scouts caught a messenger and wanted to deliver a letter to the King of Chu, and the letter was all about our army. Confidential, under torture to extract a confession, this person confessed that it was the iron rod who instructed him."

Yan Sikong only felt a bang in his head, his scalp seemed to explode, and all the things that made him suspicious were all connected in an instant - the iron stick was going to frame him for having an affair with Chen Kui!

Feng Yehan said: "The secret in the letter, the whole army knows no more than five people, you are one of them, and many of them are even handled by you. Why did you let Ali buy the murderer and kill people to silence it? Moreover, you asked She Zhun's people to check this iron stick two months ago, yes or no!"

Yan Sikong took a deep breath and tried to calm down, but he knew that no matter who wanted to frame him, it was planned for a long time. At first glance, this matter seemed to be seamless, he said in a deep voice: "I have someone check the iron box. Zhangzi is true, and I am willing to kill him, but I am not collaborating with the enemy, someone is going to frame me."

"Framed you." Feng Ye grinned, "That day when you went to worship your father, you deliberately begged me to dismiss the accompanying guards, and the iron stick met you in the street and even touched your backpack. Is this also a coincidence? What? It just happened to be on you, so many coincidences!"

Yan Sikong looked at Yuan Nanyu.

Yuan Nanyu's Adam's apple slid up and down, and he whispered: "Brother is also there...I must report the truth."

Yan Sikong felt chills all over his body, and said softly: "These are all true, but I did not collaborate with the enemy. The iron stick is indeed related to Chen Kui, and even looked for me secretly. I used him to investigate Chen Yu's actions, but after encountering him on the street that day, I realized that he had a conspiracy that I didn't know about, so I wanted to kill him to avoid future troubles."

Feng Ye's eyes showed a fierce look, "There is a young man named Chen Kui in the city, but you didn't tell me?!"

"He's not Chen Kui's sharp-witted, he's just a quack who takes money to do things. Before he does not cause danger, I don't want to scare the snake away. Besides, you and Chen Kui are at odds with each other. I don't want to add fuel to the fire and make you angry. fainted..."

"Nonsense!" Feng Ye stood up suddenly, and slapped Yan Sikong to the ground.

Yuan Nanyu also stood up abruptly, and said loudly: "Wolf King, don't be impulsive! The matter has not been investigated yet!"

Yan Sikong fell sideways on the ground, half of his cheeks were hot, his head was buzzing, he was almost stunned, but this kind of pain was almost insignificant compared to his heartache, he looked at Feng Ye, and felt that his eyes were a little blurry.

"Isn't that clear enough?" Feng Ye's eyes were bloodshot, "He said he was planning for me, but he was always thinking of Chen Kuang. He didn't even tell me about the traitor Chen Kuang planted in the city. All kinds of evidence point to him. How clear!" He said at the end, already roaring.

The guards outside the door knelt down in unison, unable to raise their heads under the pressure of the beast-like fierce anger.

Yuan Nanyu pulled Feng Ye aside, and said anxiously: "Feng Ye, what if he was really framed? Maybe it's Chen Yu who wants to drive a wedge between you two."

Feng Ye stared at Yuan Nanyu: "Do you know how many times he lied to me? I can't even count it. This man is full of lies and scheming. If you can remember how he treated you back then , After such a thing happened, would you still believe him?"

Yuan Nanyu bit his lips: "In any case, the iron stick should be captured before careful interrogation."

Yan Sikong got up from the ground, stared at Fengye, his pupils were dark: "Fengye, you idiot, can't you see that this is Chen Kui's plan to alienate? I did not cooperate with the enemy, I Yan Sikong Kong will never be able to harm you!" He yelled these words, feeling heartbroken.

Feng Ye stared at him fiercely with scarlet eyes: "I want to believe you, time and time again, but you also mercilessly stabbed me again and again. What did I owe you in my last life! How much do you owe me?" Do you want to quibble? You are erudite and eloquent, and you always have words to justify yourself. If you want to quibble, I will show you something. If I didn’t see such a thing, I couldn’t believe it. You, really would Betrayed me for Chen Kui!"

Yuan Nanyu turned his face away.

Feng Ye shouted: "Chuan Yuan Shaoxu!"

Hearing this name, Yan Sikong's face turned pale.

Soon, Yuan Shaoxu appeared in front of them, and Feng Ye asked all the guards to escort Ali and retreat until only the four of them were left in the room.

Yuan Shaoxu cupped his hands: "Wolf King." He glanced at Yan Sikong out of the corner of his eye, his gaze was cold and sinister.

"Let me ask you." Feng Ye grabbed a cloth bag on the coffee table and took out something from it, "Do you recognize this thing?"

Yan Sikong took a closer look, and suddenly felt five thunderbolts.

Impossible...impossible!

What Feng Ye held in his hand was a dagger, the scabbard was inlaid with gold and jade, and it was also inlaid with luxurious gemstones. It was very valuable at first glance.

That dagger was exactly the token that Feng Ye gave to Yan Sikong before he left!

Yan Sikong couldn't believe what he saw. This dagger was pawned by him 20 years ago. He pawned 50 taels of silver and gave it to Yuan Weiling. He still remembers how painful and unwilling he was to pawn it, so that after 20 years, he can recognize it at a glance.

How did it appear here?How can it be? !

Yuan Shaoxu took a few steps closer, looked at it carefully for a moment, and then was startled: "This...could it be the dagger that the Wolf King left for Sikong?"

"How can you be sure?"

"I have never seen such a luxurious dagger in my life. At that time, it was the most valuable thing in our Yuan family. I borrowed it to play with it several times."

"What happened later?" Feng Ye trembled.

"Later..." Yuan Shaoxu glanced at Yan Sikong, then at Yuan Nanyu, "Later, Sikong was exiled instead of Nan Yu, and he couldn't carry such a valuable thing with him, so he stayed at home. Then..." He looked at Yan Sikong again, "When Nan Yu left home, he secretly took the dagger away."

"Yuan, Shao, Xu." Yan Sikong stared at Yuan Shaoxu, wishing to bleed, "Even if you and I are not on good terms, we are brothers after all, and you hate me so much? How dare you, in front of your father's spirit seat, Tell the lie you told again!"

Yuan Shaoxu lowered his head, and whispered: "Nan Yu, we have been separated for so many years, brother... really don't know you anymore."

Yuan Nanyu looked at them blankly, with an anxious expression on his face, but he didn't know what to say or what to do.

Feng Ye held up the dagger, and approached Yan Sikong step by step: "Didn't you tell me that the dagger was taken by you? Why was it put together with that letter and sent to Chen Yu? The letter was written in a weird way, and it was intentional at first glance." It was written with his left hand, but with the addition of this dagger, Chen Yu dared to believe the content. How many lies do you have to me?!"

Yan Sikong looked at Feng Ye steadily, feeling his heart was hollowed out, and tears rolled down quietly.
