The Blood Crown

Feng Guozhang came back and brought back Chen Kui's letter, but the letter was not for Feng Ye, but for Yan Sikong.

Yan Sikong's heart sank when he heard the news, he didn't know what Chen Kuang would write in the letter, but Chen Kuang had used a trick between him and Feng Ye before, and it was quite effective, so he knew it would work , it is likely to repeat the old tricks, otherwise, it is obvious that Fengye sent someone to negotiate peace, but why the reply is to him, it is too disrespectful to the wolf king.

Sure enough, Feng Ye stared at the letter with a sullen expression on his face, but he didn't order someone to hand it to him first, but motioned to hand the letter to Yan Sikong.

Yan Sikong reached out to take the letter, even if he hadn't read a single word, he knew it was a hot potato, but he was eager to know Yuan Nanyu's safety, so he opened it without hesitation.

After a few glances, he froze.

This... This is not a legitimate document between the enemy and us, it is clearly a love letter expressing longing, and even the accusations in it are full of sadness.

Yan Sikong felt his scalp go numb, when he saw the end, his whole body was shocked, staring at those few numbers, he was so dumbfounded.

Feng Ye also became nervous: "What happened to Que Wang? What did you write in the letter?!"

Yan Sikong was suddenly furious, got up suddenly, and walked in front of Feng Guozhang in a few steps.

The poor old man trembled in fright, and looked at Yan Sikong in fear.

Yan Sikong grabbed the letter and said in a cold voice: "What does Chen Kui want to do? This letter is full of nonsense, dirty eyes, what did he do to Que Wang?!"

Feng Guozhang flinched and said: "Wolf King, Master Yan, I have done as you said, and I, I don't know about the rest."

"You have been in his camp for so long, and you don't know about it?" Yan Sikong stared at Feng Guozhang, "Chen Yu is your grandson, if you don't know about it, who else needs to know about it?"

Feng Guozhang said anxiously, "I, I was ordered by the wolf king to persuade me to surrender. The king of Chu was on guard against me. At most... at most I just heard a few rumors."

"What rumors!" Yan Sikong stared with red eyes.

Feng Ye came over, grabbed the letter, and quickly flipped through it.

Feng Guozhang's eyes flickered, and he seemed to be unable to speak, hesitatingly said: "It is said that the king of Chu has... contacted him..." He considered the words for a long time, and finally spit out the word "close".

At this time, Feng Ye also finished reading the letter, his expression changed suddenly, and his hostility surged. He stared at Feng Guozhang coldly: "Get out, get out for me!"

Feng Guozhang and all the guards retreated, leaving only Feng Ye and Yan Sikong standing opposite each other in the condensed air.

Feng Ye shook the letter, and said in a trembling voice: "I didn't believe you about Xi'er, because you had no trust in my heart at that time, and I was suspicious of everything I did. Now, I will listen to your explanation."

Yan Sikong looked at Feng Ye coldly: "If it wasn't about Que Wang's reputation, I wouldn't bother to explain it to you."

"Then explain." Feng Ye gritted his teeth.

"This is just another divorce plan by Chen Kui. He deliberately provoked you and lured you out of the city to fight." Yan Sikong clenched his fists. He didn't want to believe what was said in the letter. ...

"Chen Kui wrote such an affectionate and full of grievance letter, accusing you of betraying the relationship between you and exchanging identities with him in order to save Que Wang, but Que Wang replaced you and him... "Feng Ye's blood surged, and his eyes revealed murderous intent, "The spring night with him is warm, and the clouds and rains are turned."

"He's talking nonsense." Yan Sikong said angrily, "I have no relationship with him, how dare he insult Que Wang's reputation, I can't spare him!"

Feng Ye took a deep breath: "Feng Guozhang just said that the two have a 'close' relationship."

"Impossible." Yan Sikong was so anxious that he flatly rejected it, "Impossible."

"Is it true or not? I'll send someone to find out." Feng Ye rolled up the letter, "I won't be fooled by Chen Kui easily, but Ruo Que Wang was really..."

Yan Sikong's face was pale, he pursed his lips tightly, he didn't even dare to think about it, but once Chen Kui found out the truth, he could do anything, if Chen Kui chose to humiliate Yuan Nanyu in that way... ...He doesn't dare to believe it now, he doesn't want to believe it, but his heart is already in a mess.He forced himself to be calm and said: "I don't care about others, let's save the person first."

Sure enough, Chen Kui proposed in the letter that he should exchange Yuan Nanyu himself, but he knew that Feng Ye would never allow it, and with the lessons learned from the past, it was almost impossible for him to escape.

Yu'er, what should I do...

-

The spies sent by Feng Ye hadn't replied yet, but Yan Sikong got the news he least wanted to get from someone else, and this other person - it was She Zhun.

It has been nearly a hundred days since we parted ways in winter. The two parted ways at that time because he was going to Chen Kui's place to "throw himself into a trap" and She Zhizhi was going to settle down Ali. Cut off contact.

She Zhun didn't know that "Yan Sikong" in Chen Yu's camp was not Yan Sikong, and wanted to rescue him, but failed. When he appeared in front of the city gate and asked to see the wolf king, he was covered in blood.

Yan Sikong rushed over quickly, seeing the seriously injured She Zhun, his heart was in a ball.

"She Zhun!" Yan Sikong rushed to the bed, only to see that the usually romantic, cynical man was now pale, weak and in a state of distress, and the bloody clothes thrown on the ground hurt his eyes severely.

Feng Ye said: "The imperial physician has been invited to treat him, don't worry, his life is safe and he will recover sooner or later."

Both of She Zhun's subordinates were slightly injured, and they watched anxiously from the side.

She Zhun half-closed his eyes and looked at Yan Sikong. He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to speak, but he was so angry.

Yan Sikong choked with sobs and said, "She Zhun, are you trying to save me? How many times have you tried to save me? Why didn't you walk away gracefully, why do you still have to return to this quagmire?"

She Zhun shook her head, and said softly, "I...didn't rescue him, but he was so tired...in order to help me, his identity was exposed..."

Yan Sikong said with tears: "It's not your fault, it's my incompetence. I switched identities with him to save him, but it turned out to be self-defeating."

She Zhun struggled to breathe, but it was difficult to even speak: "He...he and the king of Chu..."

Yan Sikong said in a trembling voice: "She Zhun, don't talk about it, you have to recover well, I will rescue him, I will definitely rescue him."

She Zhun's eyelids became heavier and heavier, and finally passed out.

Yan Sikong staggered to his feet, went to the outer room, and called out two of She Zhun's subordinates.

"Master Yan." The two cupped their hands together, "Thank you Wolf King, Lord Yan for saving our boss."

Feng Ye said: "She Zhun saved me back then, it should be."

Master Yan took a deep breath: "How did She Zhun get hurt?"

The two looked at each other and said dejectedly: "Boss thought it was Master Yan who was in the camp of Chen Yu, and he was going to rescue you. He had already sneaked into the camp and found the position of General Que, but he didn't count... ..."

"It's nothing." Yan Sikong's voice was hoarse.

The man had a troubled expression on his face, as if he didn't know how to speak.

"Say." Yan Sikong emphasized his tone.

"It didn't count...Chen Kui would be in General Que's tent, and he..." The man secretly glanced at Feng Ye, and said awkwardly, "Sleeping together."

There was no expression on Feng Ye's face, just like the calm sea, but he didn't know what kind of storm was brewing below.

Yan Sikong only felt that his eyes were turning white, he staggered back a step, grabbed the bookshelf, and barely stabilized his figure.

Yu'er... Yu'er was really...

It was him, it was he who came up with the stupid idea of ​​swapping identities, he never imagined that Chen Kui would dare to do such a thing.

Feng Ye's voice was cold and murderous: "Go on, what happened to Que Wang?"

"Our boss wanted to rescue General Que, but was being smashed by Chen Kui. In order to help the boss escape, General Que injured Chen Kui, and his identity was revealed." The subordinate said solemnly, "The boss was injured. The chasing soldiers couldn't heal their wounds, and the wounds got worse, fortunately, fortunately, they arrived here in time."

Yan Sikong took a deep breath, his whole body seemed to be drained dry, his whole body was empty, he didn't dare to think about how Yuan Nanyu spent these days pretending to be him in order to save his life.

And how did Chen Yu treat him.

Feng Ye said coldly, "Is Que Wang injured?"

"No."

"Have you been imprisoned?"

"...Neither."

"Go down." Feng Ye subconsciously clenched his hand behind his back into a fist.

After the two of them left, Feng Ye looked at Yan Sikong and said in a deep voice, "Que Wang was exposed by Chen Kui three days ago. During this time, Chen Kui treated him as you and treated him..."

"Shut up." Yan Sikong stared at Feng Ye viciously, his eyes were red, "Shut up."

Feng Ye narrowed his eyes and couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Do you have an affair with Chen Yu, otherwise why would he do such things to Que Wang!"

Yan Sikong's heart was already full of remorse, but upon hearing this, he was even more furious: "I have nothing to do with anyone, what can you do to me?"

"You're courting death!" Feng Ye snapped.

"Yes, I'm looking for death. I told you to kill me a long time ago. Why don't you do it?" Yan Sikong thought of Yuan Nanyu's suffering, and his heart and lungs seemed to be torn apart. Feng Ye's words On the contrary, Yu Daozi could not hurt him, because he was already covered in bruises.

Feng Ye swept down the teacup on the table with a palm, and his eyes shot out hell-like hatred: "If you ask Chen Kui to touch you, I will definitely make your life worse than death!"

Yan Sikong laughed, but his voice was full of pain: "Feng Ye, you have already made my life worse than death."

Seeing Yan Sikong's madness at that moment, Feng Ye's heart ached, he gritted his teeth and said, "You said you and Chen Kui were innocent, after I rescue Que Wang, I will ask him personally."

"Whether innocent or not, I don't care at all, and I don't care how you treat me." Yan Sikong stared blankly ahead, "I just want him to come back safely."

"I also want him to come back safely, but even if he comes back, it's not safe, and it's all thanks to you."

These words made Yan Sikong's face turn pale, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Yes, it was my fault, but it's not your turn to question the crime."

Feng Ye walked up to him in a few steps and stared at him: "Since when did you talk to me, full of thorns? You used to be a smooth-talking, eloquent person who could say what everyone wanted to hear. Why is there only such coldness to me?"

Yan Sikong seemed to have heard a big joke, but he couldn't laugh at all: "Do you really want me to answer?"

Feng Ye glared at him sullenly.

"Do you really want to know, or as a noble wolf king who looks down on the world, he can't stand someone disobeying you?"

Feng Ye's face twitched, showing a ferocious look, he stretched out his hand to grab Yan Sikong, but Yan Sikong retreated a few steps like a frightened bird, looking at him warily.

Feng Ye was stung by the cold eyes and alienated attitude, he hoped that Yan Sikong would say something nice to him, even...even smile, even if the vain and submissive appearance in the past is better than the resistance now .How long had it been since he hadn't gotten any warmth from this person?But in this world, the only one who can warm his heart is the person in front of him.

He suddenly retreated, compromised, and suddenly he was tired of worrying about everything. If, if this person could be soft on him, he might be able to let go and not mention everything in the past. He worked hard and narrowly escaped death. Today, even the emperor has succumbed to him, why can't he get what he wants most? !

Three years ago, the Yan Sikong who named his daughter "Jin Yu", the Yan Sikong who did his best to recruit soldiers and advise him, must still have him in his heart, what about now?Now in those eyes, there is nothing.

Yan Sikong said in a low voice: "You don't want to trade me. Now that Chen Kui is prepared, sending people to attack the camp is just to die. Tell me, how do you plan to save him?"

Feng Ye stared deeply at Yan Sikong: "If I rescued him, how would you thank me?"

Yan Sikong was stunned, and said angrily: "Que Wang was on the saddle for you, he was born and died, you said that he is your brother who died, don't you even want to make terms with me to save him?"

"He is not strict in governing, and he is emotional, so he will be ambushed and affect the entire army. I want to save him because of friendship. If the military law does it, he will be punished with half his life. In order to save him, how much do you want me to pay?" ?”

Yan Sikong stared at Feng Ye: "You mean, Que Wang deserves to die."

"He made a big mistake, no one else is to blame." Feng Ye said coldly, "But I will still try my best to save him, because he is indeed his dead brother, but you, don't take it for granted."

Yan Sikong laughed mockingly: "What do you want? The majestic wolf king, you won't tell me, but you want me to be a man over [-] years old to sleep with you? What you, the regent, are doing is too shabby."

"I want you from before." Feng Ye stared straight at Yan Sikong, and said tremblingly, "You turned your back on me back then because I became a death row prisoner from Prince Jingyuan's son, but now I don't care about anything. Yes, I can give you whatever you want, if... If you can treat me like before, I can forget about the past." Feng Ye said at the end, his voice was trembling uncomfortably.

He will never forget in his life that when he saw Yan Sikong in the prison, Yan Sikong's shocked and pitiful eyes, no matter how many punishments were imposed on him, could not compare to the pain that those eyes caused him. Wang Shizi has become a prisoner. He used to be so glorious in front of Yan Sikong, but now he is so embarrassed, so Yan Sikong wants to marry his cousin, so Yan Sikong refuses to go with him.

All the hatred and resentment he has accumulated in his heart have been entangled with him for many years, and he can't get rid of it until today.

But he really wanted to be free.He wanted Yan Sikong to treat him like before, even if it was for his power, for his name, it didn't matter, he admitted it, he couldn't let go of a heartless and ruthless poor person for the rest of his life, he hated it, and he was unwilling , but he can only admit it, as long as he is powerful and famous, he is not afraid that this person will leave him again.

He just wanted the former Yan Sikong, even if he was lying to him, he would lie to him for the rest of his life.

Yan Sikong felt the pain in his heart, he thought that his heart was no longer disturbed by this person, but after all, this was beyond his control, he looked at Fengye's slightly helpless and unwilling appearance, It was so uncomfortable that I could hardly breathe.

The former Yan Sikong.

What was Yan Sikong like in the past?

Is it Yan Sikong who can laugh, be emotional, and fantasize about growing old together?

Yan Sikong like that had already died of his own stupidity and weakness, and he deserved to die here.

It's just that the person who killed Yan Sikong with his own hands and ordered him to be resurrected now is really sad and ridiculous.

Yan Sikong looked at Fengye, it seemed that he hadn't looked at this person for a long time, this person who was once the closest but now the most alienated, he had already lost the slightest expectation for this person.He said calmly and flatly: "As long as you can save Que Wang, you can get whatever you want."

Feng Ye also looked at Yan Sikong, he felt that there was an empty shell standing in front of him, this person only had Yan Sikong's appearance, but no Yan Sikong's inside, but what could he do, he felt that he didn't even have a body. Empty shells are also difficult to grasp.

Yan Sikong lowered his head, brushed past him, and walked back to the back room.

Feng Ye raised his hand to grab him, but his hand froze in mid-air, and in the end, he could only drop it slumped.

Yan Sikong returned to the house, sat in front of She Zhun's bed, looked at the sleeping man, and did not move for a long time.

Is a person like him worthy of repeated adventures for him?

In fact, he is more afraid of someone being nice to him than someone hurting him. Once he is nice to him, he will pay back twice as much. Yuan Mao raised him for four years, and he dedicated half his life to Yuan Mao without complaint or regret. Feng Ye He was also kind to him before, so he endured again and again, and gave in again and again, even if he went against his heart, he would eventually help Feng Ye get what he wanted.

He was scared.

He stretched out his hand, tucked the corner of the quilt for She Zhun, and then sat aside, watching quietly.
