Self-cultivation of male support

Shi Yan thought for a while, and finally found a place in his distant memory: "Go to Xiaoyan Mountain near the General's Mansion."

The small hill had no name at first, before Shi Yan was born, there were ordinary barren hills everywhere on the border, bare and bare.

It was the year when Shi Yan was born, Feng Ziran sprinkled all kinds of wild flowers and grass seeds on it with his own hands, and named it Xiaoyan Mountain.Feng Ziran hopes that the tenacious wild flowers and weeds can take root and sprout there.

In the spring of the year Shi Yan was born, unknown wild flowers bloomed on the mountain, colorful and colorful, which is a rare and beautiful scenery on the border.The breeze blows past, wild flowers flutter with the wind, Shi Yan, who was a child, was always carried by Cheng Liyu to play there.

Shi Yan was mischievous, lying on the ground to dig out the ant nest, Cheng Liyu turned around, and saw that Shi Yan had provoked the ants to crawl all over his body, a cloud of blackness, almost scared people to death.

In the short memory of Shi Yan's reception at Xiyue Camp, it was a very important place.

Shi Yan did find two new tombs standing side by side on Xiaoyan Mountain. The tombstones are very simple. On the left is written "Tomb of Jinyuan" and on the right is written "Tomb of Yuwan."

The person erecting the stele in the lower left corner is "Wangfeng."

Whether it is the person who erected the tomb or the person lying in the cemetery, they don't even have a last name, which shows how careful they are.

The grave was clean, without a trace of weeds.Some of the previous offerings have been air-dried, some are still fresh, and some can be seen to be short of water after a day or two in the sun. It can be seen that many people come here to worship.

Shi Yan was sure at a glance that this was his parents' tombstone. Although he didn't know whether "Jin Yuan" and "Yu Wan" were the names of Feng Ziran and Cheng Liyu's husband and wife, Shi Yan didn't want to see a tomb that appeared here. .

But unexpectedly, Shi Yan saw a middle-aged man in his 30s in front of the grave. .

The other party turned his head when he heard the movement, and his sad eyes suddenly widened in surprise.

The man broke their identities at the first glance: "Ayan! He Wu! Why did you appear here? What happened?"

Shi Yan was sure that he didn't have such a person in his memory, but He Wudang immediately opened the box he personally carried as a treasure and put it in front of the tombstone.

With a choked voice, he said: "General, madam, the young master has avenged you!"

The man's serious expression turned into shock the moment he saw the head: "Li Gui?!" His tone was extremely shocked and deeply puzzled.

Shocked that he thought he would not mistake the enemy's head, wondering why Li Gui's head appeared here?

Immediately, he said in a serious tone: "He Wu, tell me, what happened?"

Shi Yan also understood the identity of this person - Wangfeng.

That is, another secret head of the Feng family, Feng Shan, Feng Zishan.

Come on, I wanted to do a good deed in a low-key manner, come quietly, leave quietly, and write a letter by the way, asking He Wu to deliver the small gift he prepared to Feng Shan, in order to prevent the other party from knowing about him After what I did, I talked about it for several years.

Take all precautions, is it okay to deliver it directly to your door?

He Wu knelt in front of the tomb and told Feng Shan what Shi Yan had done during this period. During this period, Shi Yan stood quietly in front of the tombstone without sadness or joy in his eyes. No one knows what he is thinking.

Feng Shan has been paying attention to his nephew's every move, but helplessly, he has completely lost sight of Shi Yan's thoughts. After listening to He Wu's narration, Feng Shan was both worried and proud, and kept looking at the tombstone. He said it several times: "Jin Yuan, brothers and sisters, did you hear me? Ah Yan came to see you, Ah Yan came to see you in person, that's great, that's great!

You can rest assured, Ah Yan has grown up, you can finally go with peace of mind..."

Feng Shan spoke with sobs, obviously thinking of sad things, but Shi Yan was a little expert at destroying the atmosphere, and reminded him lightly: "Li Gui is dead, General Qian is not capable of convincing the public in a short time, now you get With first-hand information, there is a lot that can be done.”

To put it bluntly, now is not the time to gossip.

Feng Shan didn't know this fact, but what he saw and heard with his own eyes today was too unreal, which made him subconsciously and habitually want to talk to his brother.

Having been taught a lesson by his elder nephew, Feng Shan could also nod cheerfully: "A Yan is right! Uncle, go and make some arrangements first, and your family will go to live in the general's mansion first, and tell uncle about this in detail later! "

It is impossible to live here, Shi Yan claims to be a monk, and is not easily contaminated by worldly affairs.So He Wu put Li Gui's head in front of the tomb of Feng Ziran and his wife, kowtowed three times to the tomb of the two, turned around and left freely.

He Wu drove a horse-drawn carriage that was not much faster than an ox cart, and wobbled all the way to the capital.

As for the border, how much turmoil caused by his actions was out of Shi Yan's consideration.

As if overnight, everyone knew that the son of General Feng Ziran, who was about to turn six years old, entered the Xiyue camp alone, and brought Li Gui's head back from among the thousands of troops to serve General Feng. A matter of revenge between husband and wife.

Everyone found it inconceivable, and everyone who heard the news immediately took it as a joke, but regardless of whether the head of Li Gui appeared in the back of the General's Mansion or the news from Xiyue Kingdom , have confirmed the reliability of this news.

In Xiyue Kingdom, countless people witnessed with their own eyes the scene when Shi Yan and a bodyguard finally appeared in Li Gui's tent. The rumors spread more and more outrageous, completely ignoring the fact that He Wu also existed at that time, and blew Shi Yan up. There is nothing in the sky and nothing on the ground.

All of a sudden, the phrase "the birth of a son should give birth to Feng Shiyan" became the catchphrase of people in the streets and alleys.

The news spread from the border at an extremely fast speed. When Shi Yan and He Wu were replenishing food in the next small town, they heard people pass it on by word of mouth. Hearing too much praise, I'm afraid it's already drifting away."

He Wu continued to drive, frowning, and said in confusion, "Young master, I can understand that our Xihua country is spreading the news, but what is it for in Xiyue country?"

Shi Yan ate chestnuts with his feet up, and said calmly after hearing the words: "Firstly, to divert the attention of Xiyue Kingdom, and secondly, to justify their lack of protection. After all, the more powerful I am, the lighter their crimes may be."

The two of them had nothing to do, and they were very leisurely in the territory of Xihua Kingdom. The smooth and peaceful journey along the way was incredible.

The Xiyue camp is now in chaos, everyone is arguing about Li Gui's death, no one wants to be responsible for it, but everyone wants to find someone responsible, and they also want to gather Li Gui's remnants of power into their own hands as soon as possible, no one cares It was Shi Yan, the real murderer who killed Li Gui.

In addition, along the way, the guards sent by Feng Shan to escort the two of them were not far or near, and occasionally there were small thieves who didn't have long eyes, and they were dealt with by the people sent by Feng Shan before they approached Shi Yan.

Only then did He Wu have the feeling that they were traveling in mountains and rivers.

There are still five days away from the capital, and He Wu suddenly thought of something: "Master, why do you have to stay in the small city in front for three more days? He Wu looked at the bareness there, and it was not as good as the small inkstone behind our general's mansion." Mountains are interesting!"

Shi Yan was lying in the carriage with his legs up, chanting sutras to pass the time, hearing the words, said indifferently: "Of course it is to...prepare a gift for His Highness the Crown Prince.

Well, the two-month period is almost here, and I don't know how uncle is doing recently? "

To put it simply, it is to delay time, to give the uncle, the emperor and the prince more time, let them give full play to their talents, and make his disappearance bigger and stronger.

At this moment in Beijing, Cheng Lixue, the uncle who was missed by Shi Yan, was furious, and slapped down a huanghuali table abruptly.

"What a good prince, even a six-year-old child will not be spared!

I am two spies from the Xiyue Kingdom, how could they take A Yan out of the capital without any injuries, come and go without a trace, go all the way through the border, and go straight out of the border, like entering a land without people, like God's help, we The person caught up several times, and finally lost him inexplicably!

It turned out that all of this was the work of the prince!What a prince!What kind of enmity does Ah Yan have with him, that he wants to kill someone so viciously?

The Feng family was loyal to the country, a family of all ages, even old women and children died on the battlefield, only Ayan was left alone, and the children were detained in the mountains and forced to shave or become monks. Even the gate of the Wanfo Temple was closed. If you can't take a step, it's already very cruel.

This is the Chu Jun's attitude towards loyal and good generals, it is simply ridiculous in the world! "

On the first day Shi Yan left Beijing, Cheng Lixue sent people to search for Shi Yan's trace in many ways, and finally found the right direction. He was very annoyed that he was about to catch up with him several times, but lost him for no reason.

If only the people sent by his family were lost, he could still suspect that there was something wrong with his own people, but the same was true for the emperor and the prince's people, which made him have bad guesses in his heart.

Therefore, the secret and continuous investigation, after nearly two months of hard work, finally allowed him to find clues and set the target on the prince, and today, he finally found tangible evidence that the prince had discovered that Xiyue Kingdom The two spies deliberately let the two spies reveal the real identity of Shi Yan to the two spies to cover up their sneaking into the Wanfo Temple.

Cheng Lixue was furious.

My aunt, Zhou Qingyan, is usually not angry. When she gets angry, the big men in the military camp are afraid. She also feels sorry for what happened to Shi Yan, a well-behaved and sensible nephew. The narrow mind of a killer.

The two of them completely forgot that Shi Yan had seriously told them earlier that he was going on a long trip.

But she was barely sensible, rubbing her eyebrows and said: "I remember you said that the only time Ah Yan saw His Highness the Crown Prince was the last time the Crown Prince went to Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple to pay homage to the Buddha after he got married. Our people also said that , that time the prince stayed for less than a cup of tea and left?"

Seeing that Cheng Changqing began to listen to her words, Zhou Qingyan continued: "I asked all the people we stayed on the mountain to take care of A Yan, and the prince left two people who took care of A Yan in name.

I won't speculate on what it means specifically, but our people said that the two people disappeared after only showing one side, and they have never seen each other since then. Could it be related to the disappearance of the two people? "

Zhou Qingyan speculated that the Feng family should have arranged people around Shi Yan. Could it be that those two people did something that was not good for Shi Yan, and was discovered by the Feng family and resolved in advance?

Otherwise, it can't explain, well, why those two people disappeared so abruptly.

Cheng Changqing immediately asked people to inquire about it. It was not difficult to investigate this matter. If the crown prince can openly say that he wants to keep the people who take care of Shi Yan, he has a legitimate identity on the surface.

Normally, everyone didn't care about it, but if they really wanted to investigate, within an hour, the result would appear on Cheng Lixue's desk.

Cheng Lixue tapped on the table with his fingers gently, with a pensive expression on his face: "Zhu Jingtian, the youngest son of Zhu Yongbo, is seventeen years old, the prince's guard. Li Zhen, eighteen years old, the adopted son of Duke Wu'an, the prince's guard.

There is no problem on the surface. Those who can become the prince's guards are those who have some background in the family and are considered favored. Only the elders can find such a position.

What went wrong?

So what if the disappearance of those two people was related to Ah Yan?Does the prince have evidence?If there is no evidence, it would be too vicious to put Ah Yan to death for the sake of the two guards. "

But Zhou Qingyan suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and asked her husband with burning eyes: "You just said, how old are those two?"

Cheng Lixue: "Seventeen or eighteen years old."

"How do you look?"

"Delicate and handsome."

Zhou Qingyan clapped her hands: "General, don't we see this kind of thing rarely in the military camp? Between men and men... I heard that the prince and the princess have been married for nearly half a year, and the relationship is not good. In the past few months, the prince has even Rarely share the same room with the princess.

Moreover, the concubines of the Eastern Palace have not given birth to a single child.You said, could it be that the crown prince became a beauty in anger? "

Cheng Lixue choked: "But he is the prince after all, this thing is too ridiculous!"

In fact, Cheng Lixue himself, as a straight man of steel, really couldn't imagine a relationship between two men... But he couldn't think of any reason for the prince to put Shi Yan to death.

On the other hand, Zhou Qingyan was in the military camp in the early years, what happened?

Immediately said: "Looking through the history books, is there any emperor in the Han Dynasty who didn't play with a few young and beautiful men when he was young? But he didn't delay his marriage and childbirth!"

As he said that, he snorted coldly: "Our Highness is amazing. He was able to leave the princess in the cold for a long time for a man, and he was able to raise a butcher's knife and chop a child at Ah Yan for the sake of two men."

Cheng Lixue's eyes narrowed slightly: "We can find out about this matter. If someone guides you a little bit, His Majesty will know sooner or later. Let's see His Majesty's attitude before making a decision."

"By the way, the two-month period is just around the corner, and it's time for Ah Yan to come back. There are rumors everywhere in Beijing that Ah Yan went into the enemy camp alone to avenge his parents. I don't know what he will do when he hears it. How do you feel!" Cheng Lixue's face was full of pride, and he still couldn't figure out how Shi Yan did all this.

Shi Yan, on the other hand, never expected that the plot he had arranged would be pulled into such a way by his aunt's brain circuit. Not only was he surprised, but the prince might even vomit blood after knowing it!

This is far from the prince's original intention, but the prince is powerless to refute.
