The Blood Crown

During the ten or so days of fleeing for his life, Yan Sikong suffered a lot from eating and sleeping in the open air and rushing on the road. Now he has a comfortable and warm bed to sleep on.

After waking up, a maid gently and carefully helped him change his clothes and wash his hands, and even brought breakfast to his bed.He couldn't help thinking that Shen Hexuan met him in the shabby room yesterday and said that he wanted to "introspect himself", which was not completely unreasonable.If a person has enjoyed the good things, it will be difficult to accept the bad things. This is true for food and clothing, and even more so for power and wealth.

After eating breakfast, Yan Sikong saw that the sun was shining outside, which is a rare good weather in winter, so he punched in the courtyard.

He hadn't moved for many days, and the punch was hearty. While he was punching, he was thinking about all kinds of things that happened in the past, thinking of Feng Ye, thinking of Yuan Nanyu, thinking of Chen Yu, thinking of Shen Hexuan, thinking of many people and In matters, the boxing style is sometimes restrained and self-sustaining, sometimes flexible and tricky, and sometimes aggressive.

He felt someone approaching, and he caught sight of Chen Kuang's figure from the corner of his eye, but he ignored it, and finished a set of punches on his own. He was sweating all over, but felt that his mood was usually a lot.

Chen Kui clapped his hands three times, and walked over at a leisurely pace: "Good fist."

Yan Sikong wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said indifferently: "Your Highness."

"Mr. seems to be calmer, but Mr. can still call me by my first name." Chen Yu did not hide the affection in his eyes, "Only Mr. can."

Yan Sikong didn't answer, but went into the house to fetch water, and Chen Kui also followed.

"Mister met Mr. Shen yesterday, what did you talk about?"

"It's all about reminiscing about the past." Yan Sikong said, "Master Shen and I were elected in the same year, became officials in the same year, and studied under the same school. Speaking of it, we have really been friends for many years."

"It's a pity that the two of you have different ways." Chen Kui said, "However, now you have the same goal--hope that I will be the emperor."

Yan Sikong looked at him coldly: "Oh? Do you think I'm still willing to help you after going through so much? I'm tired and don't want to get involved in your disputes anymore. You have Shen Hexuan, that's enough, let me go. "

A gleam flashed in Chen Kui's eyes: "Could it be that Mister still can't let Feng Ye go? Even if he treats you like this?"

"Feng Ye and I... have already broken up our relationship." Yan Sikong made a disgusted expression, "But it has nothing to do with him, I'm just tired and don't want to fight anymore."

"If I have the help of my husband, I will be able to conquer Fengye. As long as I take Taiyuan, my father will announce to the world that I will be restored to the position of prince. I have a large army, and no one can shake my position." Staring at Yan Sikong intently, "Mr. has contributed a lot to my existence today. When I ascend the throne in the future, I, Mr. Xu, will only have a lot more. Do you want to give up all this success?"

Yan Si turned around and stared at him: "Your Highness, I am a guilty minister, even if you become the crown prince, why do you protect a traitor?"

Chen Kui narrowed his eyes: "Then I won't be the prince, I will be the emperor directly."

Yan Sikong was slightly startled.

Chen Kui approached Yan Sikong, and even though there was no one around, he still lowered his voice: "Sir, do you think I really want to be the prince of Na Laoshi? As long as I enter Beijing, I will force my father to abdicate. If I become the emperor, who would dare?" Move a single hair of Mister?"

Yan Sikong fell silent.

"Sir." Chen Kui grabbed Yan Sikong's shoulder, "In this world, I only keep my husband in my heart. If Feng Ye loses you, I will not lose you. Didn't the master want me to be the emperor from the very beginning? Didn’t my husband teach me to be an emperor since I was a child? Now we just don’t need to seal the wilderness. Nothing else has changed. Let’s get rid of that ruthless person. Sheng's prosperous world."

Yan Sikong pushed away Chen Kuang's hand and turned his head, as if hesitating.

"I sent troops this time to unite with the court to eradicate the Wolf King's rebels. If Fengye surrenders, I can still save his life. If he persists, he will be defeated in the encirclement and suppression sooner or later." Chen Yu didn't blink. Blinkingly staring at Yan Sikong, trying to get some clues from his expression to judge his mind.

"Why do you think you can defeat Fengye?"

"Because he only has King Yong, and once I send troops, not only will I unite with the imperial court, but my father will also order the princes from all over the world to work hard to destroy him in one fell swoop."

Yan Sikong's heart trembled violently. He encouraged him to maintain a calm appearance, and snorted softly: "From what I've seen, no general in the world can match the way of using troops in the wilderness. It's hard to say who will win the battle."

"Feng Ye is indeed a great general. Others may not be able to beat him, but Mr. Chen can." Chen Kui's eyes were bright, "Mr. is smarter than him, and knows him and Feng's army better."

Yan Sikong turned around.

Chen Kui went around to him, and said in a stern tone, "Do you still have feelings for him, Mister?"

Yan Sikong raised his head and looked at Chen Kui, his eyes were as calm as water: "Your Highness, I had a relationship with Feng Ye, but for me, love is just a flower that comes at hand, and beauty is beauty. If you lose, why take it to heart. Love, to me, Yan Sikong, has always been irrelevant to the overall situation. I don’t even care about my own wife and daughter, and I care about a man? What’s more, he humiliated me and failed me like this.”

Chen Kui smiled: "I know, I have always known that Mr. is a person who cares about the overall situation, how can he be so focused on the love of his children, such a Mr. I admire even more. But if this is the case, why is Mr. still unwilling?" Stay and help me, are you still angry with me?"

Yan Sikong snorted softly: "I said it, I'm just tired and don't want to fight openly and secretly with others."

Chen Kui caught something keenly, his eyes flickered: "Could it be for Mr. Shen?"

Yan Sikong didn't answer, he knew that Chen Kui had already taken the bait.

Yan Sikong's silence made Chen Kui understand, he chuckled lightly: "Sir, you are afraid of Shen Xian...Shen Hexuan, right? You two are equal opponents, one mountain cannot contain two tigers, you are afraid that there will be him Now, your hands will be bound and your feet will be hindered."

Yan Sikong turned around and said coldly: "Since you know, if I tell you to kill him, will you be willing?"

Chen Kui let out a sigh of relief and showed a comforting smile: "How can you compare yourself with him, sir? Yes, you two were my teachers together, but to me, he is just a monarch and minister, but to me, sir , is the most important person in my life, I trust and envy you, everyone other than Mr is an outsider to me, he is not worthy to be compared with Mr.

"I just ask you, are you willing to kill him for me?" Yan Sikong's eyes were cold and aggressive.Yesterday, he knew that if Shen Hexuan was not dead, he would have no peace and would not be able to use his fists. Shen Hexuan must have seen him in the same way. He didn't hate Shen Hexuan, it had nothing to do with grudges, but he couldn't keep this person.But he also knew that Chen Wei would not agree for a while.

Chen Kui nodded: "Okay, of course I won't keep the person that Mister wants to kill, as long as it can make Mister feel at ease, but..." He said softly, "Looking at the overall situation, I don't need to say, Mister also knows that he still has some It is very useful, if you want to kill him, you have to wait until the thing is used to its full potential, and when I enter the capital, I will hand this person over to Mr. to deal with, so as to relieve the hatred in Mr.'s heart, how about it?"

Yan Sikong sneered, if he really wants to relieve the hatred in his heart, Shen Hexuan is not the only one who should be damned, Chen Kui said that he couldn't bear to hurt him, it was all Shen Hexuan's doing, and he didn't expose it, how could he believe it, just like those words of admiration , just listen to it.The handsome and tall young man in front of him, with cold blood flowing in his bones, is indeed a born emperor.

Seeing Yan Sikong's displeasure, Chen Kui coaxed patiently: "Sir, I know that at this time Shen Hexuan is acting as a bridge with me on behalf of the court. If I kill him, the court will definitely become suspicious. If you can't calm down, then you won't have to wait until you enter the capital. Take Taiyuan, this person is at the disposal of the master."

Yan Sikong paced a few steps in the room, staring at Chen Kui: "Actually, whether this person dies or not is not what I care most about. I just can't bear him being a handicap between Your Highness and me. To put it bluntly, Your Highness wants me to stay." Now, I have to choose someone between me and him to do things, otherwise, I would rather be alone in the countryside than go into this muddy water!"

"I naturally choose Mr. Chen." Chen Kui said without hesitation, "What else can I think about."

Yan Sikong stared at Chen Kui for a moment, as if he was judging how sincere he was, Chen Kui looked at Yan Sikong calmly, sincerely, even affectionately.

Yan Sikong lowered his eyes, paused for a moment, and said, "There is one more thing."

"Sir, please speak."

"I don't want to get involved with others any more. Those useless things will only drag me down. Your Highness can't force it."

Chen Kui smiled, and his eyes flashed: "Okay, I respect sir."

Yan Sikong took a deep breath, he knew that Chen Kui would not let it go, but dealing with all kinds of people had long been a part of his life, since he decided to come back, he would never look back.

What's more, what Chen Kui wanted didn't really matter to him, he wasn't a woman, he just didn't want to, and couldn't imagine that men other than Fengye would do that to him, it would be disgusting.But in the end, that matter was not painful or itchy or fatal. He had long been flattered and humiliated. He only weighed whether it was worth it or not, and it must be unnecessary.

The most important thing right now is to help Yuan Nanyu get through this calamity.
