The Blood Crown

Yuan Nanyu frowned: "How do I change it? What happens after changing it?"

"I will go to Pei'an as an envoy to persuade the King of Han to send troops on behalf of Chen Kui. If you pretend to be me, as long as you leave Pingliang, with your skills, you can always find an opportunity to escape halfway."

"how about you?"

Yan Sikong lightly tapped the mask on Yuan Nanyu's face with his fingers: "I'll take this and leave it here."

"It's just nonsense." Yuan Nanyu stared straight at his eyes, "If Chen Kui finds out, how can he let you go!"

"Don't worry, even if he is found out, he won't kill me." Yan Sikong said firmly, "But if you don't leave, he may kill you."

Yuan Nanyu shook his head: "No, I can't let you suffer for me. If this is your plan, I can't do it."

"Yu'er, are you still so indecisive at this moment?" Yan Sikong looked at him closely, "The king rules the world with filial piety, and Chen Kui wants to be emperor, how could he kill his teacher? Time is running out now. Besides, There is no better way."

"Second brother." Yuan Nanyu stared at Yan Sikong without blinking, and said sternly, "I will not leave you here to bear the blame, and I will run away. Even if he doesn't kill you, he will not easily let you go." If you can't be safe, what's the point of me going out alive."

Yan Sikong took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Because you can't die here, you still have unfulfilled ambitions, and you still have a lot to do, even if you go out to correct the mistakes you made, you can't just go So escape with death."

Yuan Nanyu bit his lip lightly, and cheated his face away.

Yan Sikong turned his face away and forced him to look at him: "Yu'er, do you know why you took the blame for me and exiled me 20 years ago?"

Yuan Nanyu shook his head blankly.

"Because we are brothers." Yan Sikong's voice trembled slightly, "What you are willing to do for me, I am also willing to do for you, because we are brothers. Yu'er, you will pay you back as the second brother, and the second brother owes you It’s been 20 years, and I thought you were tormented day and night when you died, so let me pay you back.”

Yuan Nanyu's eyes were red, and his shoulders were shaking slightly.

Yan Sikong couldn't help but hugged Yuan Nanyu into his arms, caressed his back as he did when he was a child, and said with a sob: "If you live, we still have hope. If you die, the second brother will have nothing. gone."

"I...I will definitely rescue you..." Yuan Nanyu gritted his teeth, "I will definitely defeat Chen Yu and come back to rescue you."

"You don't have to worry about me, I came to find Chen Kui myself, I have my own way to protect it." Yan Sikong said in a low voice, "From now on, you can't be stupid or act emotionally."

"……Yes."

Yan Sikong smoothed his disheveled hair for him: "We need to exchange some things with each other, such as people we know, things we know, things we have said, you have to imitate my voice and manner, and I will imitate yours, you Gotta starve myself a little thinner to look more like me."

Yuan Nanyu nodded heavily.

"Today I can't stay too long, you should think about it first, I will come to see you tomorrow, and I will bring the disguise cream that She Zhun left me, we must play each other well in the shortest possible time."

Yuan Nanyu wiped his face: "Second brother, I will try my best."

-

Yan Sikong returned to his residence and began to prepare for this matter. He and Yuan Nanyu were very similar in appearance, body, shape and voice, only Yuan Nanyu was slightly stronger than him. The two were obviously not related by blood, but they were like twins. Like giving birth to a child, such a coincidence must have been doomed for this tortuous fate.

It's New Year's Eve soon, Yan Sikong decided to switch identities with Yuan Nanyu on that day.During the Chinese New Year, there are many people and people are busy, and the two people who are most likely to find something strange——Chen Yu and Shen Hexuan, need to spend more time with their families. There is nothing easier to fool around than this opportunity. Going to Pei'an, in such a short time, as long as Yuan Nanyu disguises well, he will be able to hide the truth.

After making up his mind, Yan Sikong went to ask Chen Kui for instructions, saying that it was useless to be tough with Yuan Nanyu, and they had a good time in prison, which would make Yuan Nanyu let down his guard slowly, and asked Chen Kui to allow him to visit at any time.

Chen Kuang was busy fighting with Feng Ye in the air, so he agreed without doubting him.

Shen Hexuan didn't speak at the side, but after Yan Sikong left, he followed closely and stopped Yan Sikong at the corridor.

Yan Sikong cupped his hands, and said with a smirk: "What is Mrs. Shen doing?"

"Yan Sikong, what do you want to do?" Shen Hexuan said coldly.

"I'm stupid, Master Shen, can you make it clear?"

"Your Highness entrusted Que Wang to me for interrogation, but you want to call him brother and brother. I'm afraid you have other plans."

"Your Highness did ask you to interrogate, but what tricks did you come up with during the interrogation?" Yan Sikong mocked, "Since you can't make it through the interrogation, why don't you let me try, is Mr. Shen... afraid that I will steal the credit?"

"I never cared about fame." Shen Hexuan said sullenly, "You are cunning and treacherous, and people have to guard against it. Your Highness trusts you, but I have to keep an eye on you all the time. I will never let you stir up trouble under my nose."

"Hehe." Yan Sikong said with a sneer, "Sir Shen, who spouts blood like this without proof, is not what a gentleman would do."

"You are not a gentleman, so you don't have to treat each other like a gentleman."

Yan Sikong sneered, "I'll talk to His Highness after Mr. Shen catches me."

The moment Yan Sikong turned around, the murderous look on his face could no longer be concealed. After sending Yuan Nanyu away, he must find a way to get rid of Shen Hexuan.

-

Yan Sikong went to visit Yuan Nanyu in the prison for several days in a row. Every time he brought good wine and meat, those things would be interrogated by the jailer, so Yan Sikong hid the fat of disguise on his body. It is specially prepared, it can keep in contact with water for a few days, and if you apply it, it will be like another layer of skin.

After entering the prison, Yan Sikong took out the grease: "This is what I said, it should be better than your own."

Yuan Nanyu dug a little and wiped it on his arm, rubbed it for a while, and it melted into the skin. It looked very natural. He praised: "It's really a good thing, this She Zhun is really good."

"He is the most famous intelligence dealer in the Jianghu. I don't even know how many identities he has." Yan Sikong took off Yuan Nanyu's mask, poured wine on a cloth towel, wiped his face clean, and then Grease was spread on the remnants of the ink punishment.

"When will he come to you? If he is there, he may be able to rescue you again."

"I don't know, after he settles down with Ali, he will come to me." Yan Sikong said with a smile, "He always saves me in times of crisis, and he is like a brother to me. The future will be long. I hope that one day, you can do the same. See you."

"must."

Yan Sikong applied the grease evenly, nodded with satisfaction: "It's so seamless, you can't see it at all."

Yuan Nanyu touched lightly: "Really?"

"Really." Yan Sikong said, "Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, everything will be done as agreed."

Yuan Nanyu's expression became uneasy: "Second brother, I still think...it's inappropriate. It may be feasible for you to pretend to be me, but I...I'm really not good at fakes."

"If you can't do it, you have to do it. At this time, Feng Ye is pressing Chen Kui very hard. Chen Kui has no intention of exchanging you for the city. If the princes really respond and attack Feng Ye, the first thing Chen Kui will do is to take yours. Blood sacrificial military flag." Yan Sikong stared deeply into Yuan Nanyu's eyes, "This year is over, whether you will be released or die will be determined soon, and I will definitely not let you stay here to take risks."

"But you..."

"I said, don't worry about me, I can save my life, nothing else is important." Yan Sikong held Yuan Nanyu's face, looking at this familiar face, he seemed to see himself, the two of them Although he doesn't have the reality of twins, he has the feeling of twins. He looks forward to Yuan Nanyu's well-being, just like looking at himself well. I believe that when Yuan Nanyu took the blame for him, he also thought the same way.

Yuan Nanyu nodded with a sigh.

"I teach you to learn from me, how have you learned?"

Yuan Nanyu stood up, straightened his chest, walked like Yan Sikong, bowed, coughed lightly, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "I have seen Your Highness."

Yan Sikong smiled and said: "Very good, try to avoid meeting them as little as possible, hide if you can, and stay until you leave Pingliang."

"I will not disappoint my second brother." Yuan Nanyu said in a deep voice, "Second brother should also take care of himself."

"rest assured!"

-

On New Year's Eve, Yan Sikong finished taking care of the errand given to him by Chen Kui, and before the big banquet, he went to Yuan Nanyu again with some New Year's Eve dinner.

The two quickly changed their clothes. Yan Sikong wiped Yuan Nanyu's face clean and combed his hair in a bun. In order to hide the dirty smell of Yuan Nanyu who hadn't washed for many days in prison, he poured spirits on his clothes, "You After going out, go back to wash up first, Chen Yu must be too busy to take care of you at the big banquet in the evening, you should stay away from Shen Hexuan, pretend to be drunk, and go back to your room early."

"Okay." Yuan Nanyu looked a little tense.

"Fortunately, you followed me to Yunnan. You also know many of Chen Kuang's officers and generals. If you make a mistake, don't be afraid. Just pretend to drink too much. Be sure to stay calm."

"Don't worry, brother."

After grooming Yuan Nanyu's appearance, Yan Sikong messed up his hair, smeared dust on his head, face, hands and feet, and then held the mask in his hand, staring steadily.

Yuan Nanyu said softly: "Second brother, if you..."

Yan Sikong put on the mask without hesitation: "From now on, you are Yan Sikong and I am Que Wang."

Yuan Nanyu took a long breath: "Second brother, I'm afraid that if I do this, I will regret it."

"If you die in Chen Yu's hands, you won't even have a chance to regret it." Yan Sikong was afraid that he would hesitate, so he pulled him up and pushed him out of the prison. The eyes behind the mask were gentle and firm, "Yu'er , go quickly."

"Second brother..."

"Trust the second brother, we brothers will definitely meet again."

Yuan Nanyu's eyes widened, holding back the hot tears hanging from the frame, he clenched his fists and bowed deeply to Yan Sikong: "We will definitely see you again!" After speaking, he forced himself to turn around and leave.

Yan Sikong sat in the prison cell, touched the mask on his face with slightly trembling hands, the mask was worn for a long time, it was difficult to take it off, but this mask should have been worn by him in the first place, but now it is just returned to the original That's all.

He has no time to think about his fate, even if he dies here instead of Yuan Nanyu, he will admit it. His only wish is that Yuan Nanyu can escape the shell smoothly.

-

Yuan Nanyu, who pretended to be Yan Sikong, suppressed the anxiety in his heart, stretched his body as much as possible, relaxed his steps, and walked out of the prison.

The guarding jailer had received money from Yan Sikong, so he was more or less acquainted with each other in the past few days. While bowing his hands and saluting, he did not forget to say with a smile: "Happy Chinese New Year, Mr. Yan, why did you spill the wine on the jacket?" , don’t freeze.”

"I'll go back and change." Yuan Nanyu finally calmed down when he saw that the prison guards showed no signs of change.

According to Yan Sikong's description, he found his own residence, ordered his servants to prepare hot water, washed himself inside and out, then combed himself, and applied grease on his forehead again just to be on the safe side , Only when she looked impeccable, did she dare to attend the annual banquet.

Chen Kui invited many officials, generals and cronies to celebrate the New Year together. He shared the main seat with King Ning's daughter and his wife, while Qi Manbi sat beside him, gently.

As Yan Sikong said, Chen Kui had too many people to receive, so he didn't have time to pay too much attention to him, so he saluted Chen Kui and sat down beside him.

After taking his seat, Yuan Nanyu did not forget to observe the people at the banquet, in order to be able to identify those who he had never met but who had heard Yan Sikong's description, so as not to reveal his secrets.

The princess has a beautiful face, but compared with Qi Manbi's enchanting charm, she is a little dull. No wonder Chen Yu and her don't see the usual couple's talking and laughing, they respect each other like guests.

Yuan Nanyu felt Shen Hexuan's gaze, he looked back calmly and generously, and even toasted Shen Hexuan from the air, with a hint of provocation on the brow.

As long as he doesn't speak, he is confident that he can imitate Yan Sikong eight times.

The banquet started, and the guests who came to congratulate brought big gifts one after another. The New Year's greetings were bold and frivolous, as if they had already made Chen Wei the emperor. His high spirits caused Shen Hexuan to frown frequently.

Yuan Nanyu recalled that the little prince he saw a few years ago could only follow behind Yan Sikong's ass and yell at each teacher, as if without Yan Sikong, he couldn't move an inch, the fact is exactly the same, yes He and Yan Sikong helped Chen Yu stabilize the situation, wiped out the barbarians, recruited soldiers, and paid homage to the talented, helping him step by step to where he is today.

Although the main purpose of helping him at the beginning was to use him to contain the princes for the wilderness, I didn't want this person to be young, deeply scheming, and his ambition was uncontrollable, so the situation he has today can be called a double-sided sword, self-interested I hurt myself again.

Maybe Chen Kuang really has the blood of an emperor flowing in his bones. He has also seen Feng Ye's arrogant appearance in his early twenties, but he is different from Chen Kuang. With the city and self-restraint, it seems that every send and receive has a purpose. Yan Sikong cultivated him as the master of the world since he was a child, and the results are remarkable.

Thinking of this, Yuan Nanyu felt very emotional.

After drinking a few large glasses of wine with others, Yuan Nanyu pretended to have a headache, stood up wobbly, and wanted to go back to his room to rest.

The servant came over to support Yuan Nanyu: "Master Yan, what's wrong with you?"

Yuan Nanyu waved his hand: "Headache, help me go back and rest."

"Yes."

"Master Yan." A woman's soft call came from behind, and it sounded particularly clear and graceful in the noisy room.

Yuan Nanyu turned around and saw that it was Mrs. Qi, Chen Wei's concubine. He had paid attention to this woman when he and Yan Sikong came to Yunnan. Guess Chen Kui's attempt on Yan Sikong.

"Ma'am." Yuan Nanyu narrowed his eyes.

"Is your lord feeling unwell?" Qiman Birou said, "I ordered people to boil the pear soup for drinking early. It is for the prince, so please send some to your lord." Looking at the appearance, it was exactly as Yan Sikong said Same, trying to please.

"Thank you Madam, I'll just go back and sleep and I'll be fine."

Qi Manbi smiled and said: "My lord ordered me to take good care of your lord. If you feel unwell, you can take some medicine. Don't be brave."

"Don't worry, madam." Yuan Nanyu smiled, "I just drank too much, it's okay, madam, go back and serve the prince."

Qi Manbi bowed, and Yuan Nanyu went back to the room with the help of his servants.

After waiting for no one around, he looked at himself in the mirror for a long time, lest he see any flaws, and saw that everything was as usual, so he was relieved and prepared to fall asleep early.Today is his first day pretending to be Yan Sikong, and he is already very satisfied that he has passed the test just like that.

At this time, there was a knock on the door suddenly.

"Who?"

"Master Yan, it's me."
