The Blood Crown

Yuan Nanyu strode across the corridor and walked towards the inner courtyard of the palace. The butler followed him step by step. He tried to stop Yuan Nanyu several times, but he didn't dare. He said embarrassingly: "General Que, General Que, you Please stay, the wolf king said..."

"The wolf king didn't go to the morning court today, why?" Yuan Nanyu didn't look sideways and kept his feet on the ground.

"The wolf king's body is out of harmony today, so he didn't go to the morning court, and he doesn't want to see anyone."

"I have an important military report." Yuan Nanyu felt that he was in the way, holding the hilt of his sword in one hand, and stared at him with his head down.

The butler's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he had to step back a few steps.

Yuan Nanyu continued to walk forward, with a cold face: "I know the wolf king doesn't want to see me, but the military situation is urgent, and I have to report it face to face." He had already walked to Feng Ye's house, paused for a moment, and strode away In the past, the door was pushed open unceremoniously.

"Oh, General—" The butler couldn't stop him, so he could only stand outside the door, not daring to go in.

"Wolf King!" Yuan Nanyu went straight in, a strong smell of alcohol came to his nostrils, mixed in the dull air, the smell almost pushed him out of the door, he wrinkled his nose, walked in with a sullen face In the bedroom, there was a tall man lying on his back on the couch, his long hair was scattered on the head of the bed, the jug fell to the ground, and even half of the curtains were torn off, leaving a mess everywhere.

Feng Hun was lying on the side, silently looking at the person on the bed, and when he saw Yuan Nanyu, he let out a soft "woo".

Yuan Nanyu took a deep breath, slowed down, and walked over slowly.

Feng Ye's hair was in disarray, his clothes were disheveled, the bed was wrinkled into a ball of rags, and wine was spilled everywhere, his eyes were closed, his brows were tightly furrowed, his thin lips were slightly opened and closed, he didn't know what he was talking about, as if in his sleep I can't live in peace either.Under the dim light, one could vaguely see that his eyes were blue and purple, his cheeks were slightly sunken, and his face was full of stubble, making him look very haggard.

Just as Yuan Nanyu stood still, Feng Ye suddenly opened his eyes, and pulled out his hand from under the quilt, a silver light flashed, and in an instant, the sharp long sword was already in front of Yuan Nanyu.

Yuan Nanyu looked at Feng Ye quietly without dodging or evading.

Feng Ye squinted his sleepy eyes, looked at the person in front of him with difficulty, looked at that face, his eyes were mixed with confusion and panic, it could be described as mixed, and finally, he lowered his hand, and the long sword fell on the ground with a clang. on the ground.

Yuan Nanyu felt extremely uncomfortable, he whispered: "Feng Ye, do you dare to see what you look like now?"

"What are you doing here?" Feng Yefu closed his eyes again and said in a hoarse voice.

Yuan Nanyu said coldly: "I am your forward general, and I will report the military situation to you."

"Without news of him, there is no need to come." Feng Ye struggled to get up from the bed.That once strong and vigorous body has lost a lot of weight now, and the two long arms supporting the body are shaking. Just such a simple movement seems to consume most of his strength. Anyone who sees him, I can't even believe that this is the wolf king who once looked down on the world with high spirits.

Yuan Nanyu pursed his lips, and a dull pain flashed in his eyes: "I never gave up looking for him, but after so long, there is still no news, maybe..."

"No possibility." Feng Ye made himself lean against the wall, his face was ashen, his eyes were lifeless, his lips were blue and white, "...we must find him."

Yuan Nanyu clenched his fists: "Dignified wolf king, don't even dare to look at my face now?"

Feng Ye's gaze was always looking elsewhere, and he murmured: "You don't look like, you don't look like at all..."

"Since it doesn't look like it, why don't you dare to look at me, why don't you want to see me!"

"Because I don't dare." Feng Ye's voice was as soft as a mosquito, "You're right, I dare not." He covered his face with one hand, but the corners of his lips twitched slightly, as if revealing his embarrassment Words of pain and despair.

How ironic, he couldn't find the person he was thinking about day and night, which drove him almost crazy, but this face that was [-]% similar to him could easily appear in front of him, so he didn't want to Whether he sees it or dares not to see it, this face will remind him over and over again that he is living in a world without Yan Sikong.

For half a year, every day, every night, every hour, every moment, he has been repeatedly tormented by endless regret and longing. He is looking forward to the news of Yan Sikong, as long as he can find any evidence that Yan Sikong is alive, even if there is a trace, A little bit is enough to support him to continue through the heart-piercing long night.

But no, nothing, Yan Sikong disappeared, if not in the fire, then in his life.He firmly said to everyone that Yan Sikong was still alive, and he must be alive, as if as long as he said more, it would come true.But day after day, his fear only got worse, and he didn't know how long he could last.

He is willing to go to any place to find Yan Sikong, the underworld, the mountains of swords and the sea of ​​fire, nothing can stop him, but where is his Konger?

"Fengye, you are the regent of Dasheng. No matter how sad you are, you can't hide here and drink away your sorrow." Yuan Nanyu was heartbroken, and said in a trembling voice, "You haven't been to the court for two days, do you know ..."

"Lantern Festival." Feng Ye whispered.

"……what?"

"Last night, it was the Lantern Festival. The capital must be very lively." Feng Ye's body trembled slightly, and the severe pain in his heart hit him again. The deep love and sweetness from that year kept reappearing in front of his eyes, stabbing his heart with a knife. Son, he whispered, "I made a wish back then, that we...for the rest of our lives...but where is he now, where is my emptiness?"

Yuan Nanyu's eyes became hot, and he had to bite his lips tightly so as not to shed tears.

Feng Ye groped on the bed with his hands, and found a jug of unclean wine at the head of the bed, he lifted it up and was about to drink it.

Yuan Nanyu rushed up and snatched the jug, threw it on the ground hard, and growled: "Enough! You look like this, even if the second brother comes back, I don't want to see you!"

Feng Ye showed a smile that was sadder than crying: "As long as he can come back, I will let him see what he wants to see, any... appearance."

"Second brother doesn't want you to be depressed like this. He helped you become the master of the capital and wiped out the enemy's troubles. He wanted you to govern the country well and save the country!"

"Govern the country?" Feng Yedan said, "They oppose me everywhere, telling me how to govern the country."

"In his position, bear his weight." Yuan Nanyu pressed Feng Ye's shoulder and shook it vigorously, "You can't go on like this, I just got a spy report that Jin soldiers attacked Liaodong!"

Feng Ye blinked, feeling a little dazed for a moment: "Liaodong..."

"After General Zhao led the army back to Beijing, he died of illness in the camp. Now that Liaodong's defense is weak, it will be a matter of time for Zhuo Letai to take advantage of the vacancy. But in the past, he would wait for Huangshui to freeze. This year he can't wait. Jin Bing has already crossed the wild!" Yuan Nanyu emphasized his tone, "Looking at the world, you are the only one who can save Liaodong."

Feng Ye finally came to his senses. He shook his head vigorously, and then wiped his face: "How many soldiers and horses are there in Liaodong today?"

"Less than [-], most of them are in Guangning."

"Guangning." Muttering these two words that are far away but enough to be engraved in his heart for a lifetime, Feng Ye's heart throbbed violently again. He and Yan Sikong originated in Guangning, but Yan Sikong's life, It also started to be destroyed from Guangning. 20 years ago, Yuanmao led the army and people of Guangning to resist the invasion of Zhuoletai's 20 troops. This was a defensive battle destined to go down in history forever. , The smoke of gunpowder in the city of Guangning rose again.

Today's Guangning, after years of reinforcement and reconstruction, is already a strong fortress, but Zhuo Letai's menacing force is stronger than before. Without Zhao Fuyi, Liaodong, which has been tortured for decades and is dying, can withstand it again. when?

Yuan Nanyu cupped his hands: "I implore the wolf king to send troops to save Liaodong. Liaodong is my hometown, and I am willing to lead the army!"

Feng Ye was silent for a moment: "Chen Yu and other princes from all walks of life are eyeing the capital. If we divide our troops to save Liaodong now, I'm afraid..."

"I just want... [-] soldiers and horses."

"A mere [-] soldiers and horses, what's the use of it? Death." Feng Ye frowned deeply, obviously very hesitant.

"Could it be that Ren Liaodong will fend for itself?" Yuan Nanyu raised his voice, "Give over our northern border to the barbarians?"

"Lips are dead and teeth are cold, how could I not know." Feng Ye pressed his sore brows hard, "Let me think about it."

"Wolf King..."

"What's the matter with Chen Yu?"

Hearing the word "Chen Yu", Yuan Nanyu's face changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal. He said seriously: "He sent envoys to lobby the vassal kings, but the force is still not enough to compete with me."

"If I send troops to Liaodong, he will definitely not miss this opportunity." Feng Ye narrowed his eyes, "There are powerful enemies inside and outside, and it will be very disadvantageous for our army to take care of two fronts."

Yuan Nanyu looked troubled, and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

How could he not understand Feng Ye's concerns, but Liaodong is his hometown, and it is also a barrier in the northern part of the Central Plains, whether it is private or public, Liaodong cannot fall into the hands of foreigners.

"Ask Zhu Lanting to come see me." Feng Ye said, "He may have a way to persuade those old officials to transfer troops from the local area."

"Yes." Yuan Nanyu looked at Feng Ye hesitantly.

Feng Yedan said: "Go."

"Wolf King, you can't meet people like this."

Feng Ye stared blankly at the front, and after a long time, he gave a soft "hmm" and said, "Que Wang, you have to continue looking for him, go to a farther place, and search the world all over, no matter what. .”
