The Blood Crown

The construction of the "gable" was more difficult and slower than they imagined. Because the weather was too cold and the soil was already frozen, the soldiers worked hard against the severe cold of Liaodong. The iron cavalry of the golden soldiers is better than the tragic destruction of the city.

Yan Sikong went to inspect the progress of the city wall every day. Seeing that it was the end of the year, he was very anxious, worried that Zhuo Letai would attack early when he saw that they were repairing the defense of the urn city.

Just as they stepped up their defenses and prepared for battle, Feng Ye received a letter from the capital, and Feng Changyue urged him to return to the capital for two reasons. When raising troops to attack the Feng family's army, first, Feng Ye was not in Beijing, and it was even more difficult for Feng Changyue to suppress the courtiers who opposed them.

Feng Ye was at his wits' end right now. The significance of his stay in Liaodong was not limited to Yan Sikong. After he arrived in Guangning, he realized that the situation in Liaodong was more critical than he had imagined. Once Zhuo Letai broke through the gate of Liaodong, He will be flanked by Chen Kui and Jin Bing, and he has almost no chance of winning.

If Zhao Fuyi was still in Liaodong, how could the situation have deteriorated to this point. It is a pity that the famous general has fallen. Looking around the world, there is no general available to hold this precarious land.

Feng Ye wrote back a letter to Feng Changyue, explaining the situation in Liaodong, Zhuo Letai could attack the city at any time, if he left now, the morale of the Liaodong soldiers would collapse.

After learning about this, Yan Sikong's reaction was: "The wolf king shouldn't have come in the first place."

Feng Ye was helpless: "Sikong, you wrote me to come here."

"I told you to send troops, but I didn't ask you to come in person. It's really unwise for you to enter the capital with great difficulty and leave so hastily. Do you know that Chen Wei is waiting for you to leave?"

"Then you think I should go back?"

"If you leave now, the morale of the army will definitely be shaken." Yan Sikong narrowed his eyes, "Besides, Zhuo Letai probably won't wait until we finish repairing the wall."

Feng Ye said coldly: "Chen Yu may raise troops at any time, and after finishing Zhuo Letai, I will go back and make a deal with him."

Just hearing the name "Chen Yu", Yuan Nanyu's expression on the side was a little abnormal. He was straightforward and not a person who was good at hiding his emotions.

Both of them noticed the stiffness of Yuan Nanyu's face at the same time, Yan Sikong hurriedly changed the topic: "One wall has been repaired, so the gable wall can be repaired before spring."

Feng Ye nodded: "Que Wang, counting the time, the reserve food and grass should be arriving soon, you send troops to meet it."

Yuan Nanyu got up, cupped his hands and said, "Yes." After speaking, he strode away.

After he left, Feng Ye said: "Que Wang...is there anything unusual?"

Yan Sikong naturally knew what Feng Ye meant, he shook his head and said, "No." He knew that what Chen Kuang had done left an indelible imprint of shame on Yuan Nanyu, but the man was able to bend and stretch, and traveled thousands of miles in exile. Yes, it came through the rain of guns and arrows, and it must be carried down after all.

"I've always wanted to talk about a marriage for him." Feng Ye said, "He can choose any noble daughter from a famous family in the capital."

"What does he think?"

Feng Ye shook his head: "You are his elder brother, maybe if you talk about it, he will agree."

Yan Sikong thought for a while: "He seems to have a good friend in Taiyuan, a firework woman."

"I know." Feng Ye said, "I asked him to take him as a concubine first, but he refused."

Yan Sikong murmured: "I will persuade him to choose another day." He stood up, "This subordinate is resigning."

"Wait." Feng Ye pursed his lips and said, "Aren't you willing to stay with me for a moment? Even if it's just for talking?"

"I'm still going to inspect..."

"Someone else is going to patrol." Feng Ye emphasized, "It's too cold outside, I don't allow you to go out to catch the cold, sit down."

Yan Sikong lowered his head, thought for a moment, and sat back.

Feng Ye looked at Yan Sikong quietly, even if he didn't say a word, he felt satisfied just looking at him like this, after all, this person was within his reach.

Facing the silence in the room, Yan Sikong didn't feel embarrassed and sipped his tea slowly.

After a long time, Feng Ye said: "I have a lot to say to you, but when it comes to my mouth, I don't know where to start."

Yan Sikong raised his head and said expressionlessly, "Why don't you talk about the twins of the Wolf King."

Feng Ye's face suddenly changed.

Seeing Feng Ye's embarrassing expression, Yan Sikong said, you told me to sit down, "The subordinates have not yet congratulated the wolf king on his happy birthday. The wolf king and the princess must be people with many children and good fortune. The family is in full bloom, just around the corner." After he finished speaking, he was short of breath.He has been avoiding thinking about Feng Ye's wife and children, not because of jealousy, but because he doesn't want to think about it. He wanted to embarrass Feng Ye, but he didn't want to feel depressed himself.

It's sad and ridiculous.

Feng Ye lowered his head slightly, and answered an irrelevant question: "They...they are in Datong."

"There are constant wars in the Central Plains, so it's much safer to keep your wife and children in their hometown." Yan Sikong gently brushed the suspended tea leaves with the lid of the teacup, his face calm and calm, "It's just that the wolf king can't enjoy his family. .”

Feng Ye clenched his fists, bloodshot eyes gradually crept up.

"Is it possible to choose a name?" Yan Sikong spoke contemptuously, but looked at Feng Ye with unusually cold eyes.

Feng Ye raised his head, stared at Yan Sikong, and said in a deep voice, "I know you blame me..."

Yan Sikong hurriedly said: "The wolf king has misunderstood. It is only natural to marry a wife and have children. I am really happy for King Jingyuan if there are successors in the Feng family."

Feng Ye's body trembled slightly, facing Yan Sikong's ridicule, his heart was pulled hard, he said softly: "When you fled Taiyuan, I thought... I mistakenly thought you betrayed me, then I feel discouraged for you...for you."

Yan Sikong listened indifferently.

"I want to forget you, I always think, I think I'm already married, so I should... treat her well, instead of thinking about someone who betrays me again and again." Feng Yeyue said, the more hoarse his voice became, It seemed that he had exhausted all his strength to complete the words that pierced his heart.

Yan Sikong said coldly: "If that's the case, why did you send your wives and concubines back to Datong?"

"I've never met Sa Ren before, Yunlong... She is too ambitious, she wants to be a queen, but she is short-sighted and short-sighted. Letting her stay in the army will only mislead King Yong into bad things. Besides, at that time, Taiyuan became the place where I and The place that Chen Kui must fight for is too unsafe, so I sent them away."

Yan Sikong said expressionlessly: "In any case, she is your first wife, you should treat her well, instead of getting entangled with me, a traitor."

"But I blamed you, from beginning to end." Feng Ye was full of remorse, "I never thought that you would change identities with Que Wang and come back to me. That's when I realized that I never forgot you."

Yan Sikong mocked: "The wolf king doesn't need to blame himself, I said before, the wolf king is now above tens of millions, rewards and punishments are all favors, there is nothing 'wrong'."

"Kong'er, I know you want me to retreat." Feng Ye smiled sadly, "You think I'm so arrogant and arrogant that I can't bear this, but compared to losing you, these things are insignificant. If you want me to treat you Give up, unless I die."

Yan Sikong looked at him indifferently.

Feng Ye got up and walked to Yan Sikong's side, half kneeling in front of him.

"Wolf King..." Yan Sikong was about to get up.

Feng Ye pressed Yan Sikong's knee, held his hand, looked up into his eyes, and said softly: "Whether it's Sa Ren or Yunlong, what they want is not me, but The power in my hands, and the splendor and wealth of their mother clan. Only you, when I was reduced to a death row, took the risk to save me, and when I was in my humble beginnings, came to my side and helped me."

Unable to dodge, Yan Sikong had no choice but to turn his face away.He didn't want to hear how "deep and righteous" he was in the past from Feng Ye's mouth, let's see what happened to him?

It's ridiculous.

Feng Ye insisted on saying: "You always say that you are ruthless and unlucky, but you are the one who spent half his life avenging his adoptive father, you are the one who sacrificed his life to destroy the eunuchs, and you are the one who put himself in danger for the sake of the que It's you, who gave everything for me..." His voice was already choked, "I hate myself so much for being stupid, deceiving myself, listening to slander, blinded by slander, you are so good, but I have hurt you so many times. Even if I die, I will not be able to pay for my sins."

Yan Sikong's body trembled slightly.

Feng Ye stretched out his hand and stroked Yan Sikong's warm cheek: "You are all for the world, but the world can only see the surface. Don't be afraid, Konger, I will help you achieve your wish. Let's wipe out the gold thieves and protect Liaodong together." , I swear that I will never become emperor, and I will work with you to assist the emperor of the Chen family, so that you can show your strengths in the court and realize your ambition of governing the country with your family, this is what you have always wanted, right?"

Yan Sikong felt so mixed, he couldn't answer for a while.

He used to think he was smart, thinking that he could take ten steps with one step. After suffering enough self-willedness, he obeyed the destiny and never speculated about the future. When he decided to go out to save Liaodong, he didn't think about the future.

Feng Ye was right, that was his lifelong ambition, but after experiencing those days and nights of being beaten, misunderstood, framed, and repeatedly tortured by burning pain, he was indeed afraid and cowardly , wanted to back down, if it wasn't for Liaodong's troubles, he had already planned to waste the rest of his life in that small village, it would be better than sinking into the world and suffering from this endless suffering.

Feng Ye seemed to see through his thoughts: "It's okay, if you don't want to show it to others anymore, I'll hide you, Konger, whatever you want, I'll give it to you, as long as I can look at you like this, That's enough."

Yan Sikong's heart was trembling, he whispered: "Wolf King, please rise up, this is inappropriate."

Feng Ye buried his face in Yan Sikong's knee and whispered, "I miss you so much, I really miss you so much."

Yan Sikong sat stiffly in the chair, staring fixedly ahead, eyes filled with deep sorrow.

-

Two days later, the scouts sent an emergency military situation. Their food and grass were attacked by the Jin soldiers. Yuan Nanyu was dealing with the Jin soldiers. Both sides had casualties. The food and grass were in crisis.

Feng Ye immediately ordered his generals to send troops, and then wanted to go to the rescue himself.

Both Yan Sikong and Liang Huiyong disagreed.

"The wolf king should not be in danger easily." Yan Sikong said seriously, "Que Wang is not trapped, and the gold thief has not yet succeeded. It is enough to send General Xu Feng to escort the food and grass."

Feng Ye said in a deep voice: "I know, it's just that Hun'er came with the grain and grass."

Yan Sikong was surprised: "You brought Hun'er to Liaodong?"

"We came in a hurry, afraid that it would not be able to withstand the exhaustion, so we let it follow the grain transport army." Feng Ye sighed softly, "Hun'er...is getting old, and seems to be afraid that he won't be able to see me for the last time, so he has to follow me wherever he goes .”

Yan Sikong frowned, not only sad in his heart: "That's the case, you can't go either, Que Wang and General Xu Feng will bring Hun'er and food and grass back."

Feng Ye sighed, and then narrowed his eyes dangerously: "There are spies from the Jin people in the court, otherwise, how did the route and time of the grain transportation leak, I will write to uncle and let him investigate thoroughly!"

"I'm afraid it may not be the Jinren's spies." Yan Sikong said, "If you lose the battle here, the profit will start with Zhuo Letai."

Liang Huiyong was startled, and then his eyes widened: "Sikong, do you mean the King of Chu..."

Yan Sikong nodded: "The barbarians are reckless and less resourceful. It is more difficult to plant spies in our court, but there are not a few people in the court who secretly support the King of Chu."

"But, no matter what it is, the King of Chu can't help the tyrant!" Liang Huiyong said incredulously, "Liaodong is my Dasheng's territory, and the people of Liaodong belong to my Dasheng's people!"

Yan Sikong sneered: "General Liang doesn't know the king of Chu, but I do." He did teach Chen Kuang a lot, but Chen Kui was more ruthless, vicious, and unscrupulous than he expected. The monstrous hatred is even more out of blue and better than blue.

Feng Yehan said in a cold voice: "Now I don't know, Chen Kui just wants me to lose, he can take advantage of the opportunity, or he is already colluding with Zhuo Letai."

"We may find out soon."
