Chasing King

On an auspicious day, Yan Sikong went to accept the betrothal gifts.

He personally led his family to the palace with a decent betrothal gift and sent it outside the Meridian Gate.

On the next day of the lottery, according to the old ceremony, Emperor Zhaowu should hold a banquet in Zhonghe hall with the empress, the virtuous concubine and other relatives and several important officials to entertain Yan Sikong's relatives. However, Yan Sikong had no relatives and even the only teacher had died. Emperor Zhaowu changed the banquet to a family banquet and entertained Yan Sikong alone.

This is the first time Yan Sikong meets Feng Jianping's sister and his mother-in-law, Xianfei. The virtuous imperial concubine was born in a noble family. She was not only elegant and beautiful, but also talented. No wonder she was loved by Emperor Zhaowu in the past, but she was arrested for treason. Emperor Zhaowu didn't kill her because she had served her for many years and had a princess. She was doomed to be sad in the future.

Yin Fei's face is very bad. The best Rouge can't cover her pale and tired. She is also very indifferent to Yan Sikong. The only girl is going to get married, but she is out of her mind. Yan Sikong looks in her eyes and sighs silently in her heart.

Emperor Zhaowu praised Yan Sikong at the banquet, but like Xie Zhongren, his words were full of thorns, and Yu Ji was on the side to sing and beat him, obviously still worried that he was Yan Zilian's student.

Yan Sikong was so clever that he wanted to please people. He even made friends with Shen Hexuan, who was famous for his lack of oil and salt. He coaxed an emperor who was greedy for pleasure. It was like searching for something. So a family dinner, which was more or less satisfied with emperor Zhaowu's suspicions about this son-in-law, made him more satisfied.

When leaving the palace, Yan Sikong and Zhu Lanting pass by. They look at each other meaningfully. Zhu Lanting's sharp eyes are full of exploration, but they don't say a word at last. Yan Sikong nods slightly and strides away.

After a conversation at Xie Zhongren's birthday party that day, Zhu Lanting didn't move. It was better than anything. Yan Sikong had no time to think about what Zhu Lanting wanted to do. As long as he could save Fengye, nothing else was important.

-

in the twinkling of an eye, it's just before the big wedding.

On the day before her arrival, the internal warden sent Wanyang princess's dowry to Yan's house. Yan Sikong led the whole family to kneel down to greet her. The house was already decorated with lights and clean, waiting to marry the Royal daughter tomorrow.

After receiving the dowry, Yan Sikong has to check the guest list and banquet, and check the return gift after going out tomorrow. He is busy until night, so he can get rid of the crowd and go back to his bedroom.

She Zhun had been sneaking in for a long time. When she saw him, she joked: "I'm so busy, my husband."

Yan Sikong sat down in the chair and pressed the sour brow: "are you ready?"

"Well, tomorrow, everything will go according to plan."

Yan Si said in a deep voice: "if there is an accident, kill all."

She Zhun sniffed something sensitively: "you seem to be worried about something."

Yan Sikong mocked: "tomorrow is my wedding day, and we are going to rob the most heavily guarded imperial prison in the world. What do you think I am worried about?"

"No, there's something wrong with your tone." She Zhun looked at him without blinking. "It can't be something wrong."

"She Zhun, when did you know me so well?" Yan Sikong smiles bitterly.

"You and I have known each other for nearly 20 years. I've seen countless faces of you. I know you. What's so rare?" She Zhun stopped and continued, "I'm afraid I'm the one who knows you best in the world."

Yan Sikong sighed and told she Zhun about Zhu Lanting.

She Zhun's face was dignified: "I've heard of this man's name. Although he is an official, he is forthright, likes to make friends with people in the Jianghu, and has excellent martial arts. I didn't expect that he found him..."

"This man is good at lightness. He followed me at least two or three times, but I didn't notice it once. It's careless."

"But he said, the man in black that night was not him?"

Yan Sikong nodded: "I asked tentatively, since he has already showered his cards to me, there's no need to hide it. It seems that he really doesn't know who the mysterious man in black is..."

"I've sent people to check for many days, but nothing has been found. It should be said that there is no clue. If he was Xie Zhongren's man, you would have been dead now. But if he wasn't Xie Zhongren's man, who would it be?"

Yan Si waved his hand: "just now, I have no time to care about him. Zhu Lanting didn't launch an attack, but planned to wait and see. Now the eunuch party is seizing power, and Zhu's family, as a relative, is increasingly excluded. He is also very depressed. In the case of huifei, he was demoted and resents Xie Zhongren. As long as we don't touch the safety of the royal family, he should not act for the time being. "

"I'm not very worried about him either. I just need to be more careful. I'm afraid I'll meet the guard tomorrow. Besides, after the incident, Zhu Lanting will be able to guess that we did it."

"Guess it, guess it." Yan Sikong squinted, "now, I don't care so much."

She Zhun was silent for a long time. She threw the cup away and yansikong caught it.

She Zhun just about to speak, Yan Sikong stopped him: "don't persuade me any more, I won't go, tomorrow everything will act according to the plan."

"I can go and kill Xie Zhongren." She Zhun said in a low voice, "I have a grudge against the eunuch. You don't have to bear it all by yourself.""I'm not alone." Yan Sikong forced a smile, "there are you, there are thousands of innocent people persecuted by him, but there must be someone to disintegrate his power, cut off his wings, otherwise, even if you can get over the heavy guard to take his life, death of a Xie Zhongren, there will be the next traitor on top."

"Whether you think highly of yourself." She Zhun said coldly, "even the cabinet chief assistant and meritorious generals are defeated in his hands. You stay to fight him, but it's a mantis arm."

"I don't look up to it, I don't look down on it. I just go the way I want to go." Yan Sikong stood up and looked at the bright moon outside the window. He said, "how about the mantis arm as a car? I have nothing to lose."

"Even if you don't see Fengye again?"

Yan Sikong's heart ached and his body trembled slightly. He murmured: "even if We'll never see Fengye again. "
