Chasing King

After a month's long journey, a group of thirteen riders finally arrived in Yunnan.

It is located in a remote area. Most of the 24 counties in Kyushu are either remote areas or high mountains. The terrain is dangerous and the folk customs are also very fierce. There are many mountain villages and tribes, large and small, hiding in the mountains. So far, they have not been accepted by the Imperial court. Relying on their familiarity with the terrain, they plunder families and houses, making the local Han people miserable.

Since ancient times, this place has been a barren and barren place. Most of the officials assigned by the imperial court were demoted for making mistakes. The fact that the king of Chu was assigned here shows that emperor Zhaowu did not care for his father and son at all.

However, it's not without advantages here. It's easy to recruit soldiers, and the people are not enlightened. As long as they give them a bite to eat, they can cheat them to work hard for themselves.

Along the way, because of the long distance and cold weather, they suffered a lot. They also met a road robber. Fortunately, yuan Nanyu's martial arts skills made them out of danger. By the time of Zhongqing, they were all skinned.

Being harassed by mountain bandits and barbarians all the year round, there are soldiers in front of the gate of Zhongqing city day and night. They are a little changed and make others wait outside the city. Yan Sikong and Yuan Nanyu enter the city first to avoid being too conspicuous.

At the gate, the guard pushed back Yan Sikong who wanted to enter the city: "where did you come from? I haven't seen it. "

"They come from other places to visit their relatives."

"Out of town? Where? "

"Yanzhou."

"You're not a Yanzhou accent." Next to a guard came, "my mother-in-law is from Yanzhou. Where did you come from? Search for me. "

Several people come up to search the body of two people.

Yuan Nanyu narrowed her eyes and looked at Yan Sikong. Yan Sikong motioned to him not to move. She quickly took out a bag of broken silver from her arms: "Junye, we are all Han people, not bandits. Let's make it convenient."

As soon as they saw the silver, their attitude changed. The guard winked at his colleagues. The man left. In a short time, he led a man who looked like a general to come over with a straw book in his hand.

Shoujiang walked up to them and looked up and down: "what are you doing in Zhongqing? Tell the truth." From time to time, he aimed at Yan Si's empty purse.

Yan Sikong pulled him aside and whispered, "brother, if you can do me a little favor..." He took out a heavy ingot of silver from his arms. "This is for you alone."

That person's eyes all stare straight, this poor Lala's ghost place, rarely see so generous master, he swallowed saliva: "what do you want me to do?"

Yan Sikong took a look at the straw book in his hand, stretched out his hand to tear off one, and said, "give this to the king of Chu, saying that someone asked to see him."

The general immediately realized that he was not an ordinary person and said respectfully, "what would you like to write?"

"No, blank is enough."

"Well, I'll take care of it for you."

They went into the city and found a tea break to sit down. After waiting for two incense sticks, someone came to meet them and took them directly to King Chu's residence.

Yan Sikong looked at the mansion. He was afraid that it was the most humble and shabby Prince's mansion he had ever seen in his life, even less than half the size of Yan's. I don't know how much money Chen can accumulate these years. It's silver to fight.

In the distance came the sound of rapid footsteps, but when it came near, it slowed down and became more reserved step by step. How clever Yan Sikong was, he immediately guessed that this was Chen Kai, the former crown prince and now the king of Chu.

Soon, a figure appeared at the door. Yan Sikong first saw his black and white Python robe, and then he was stunned. The person in front of him made him dare not recognize him for a moment.

Yan Sikong's impression of Chen is still on the young man who was just an adult four years ago. He is a little shorter than himself. He is thin and childish. His eyes are bright and sharp. Although he has sharp claws, he is still too weak, just like a cub who has not yet grown up.

But this man is tall and vigorous, handsome, full and clean forehead, eyebrows slanting into the temples, eyes dark and deep, can't see the bottom, nose bone a little hump, appears wise and deep, the jade belt with pearl tassel pinches out his wide shoulder, narrow waist, long legs, a simple and elegant lanolin hairpin combs his sideburns neatly, this is a natural picture of luck But it also exudes the king spirit of introverted.

Chen's facial features have not changed much, but I don't know why his temperament has turned upside down.

Chen Bi stood still, looking at Yan Sikong, his lips trembled and his eyes were full of thoughts.

Yan Sikong turned back, dusted his robes, knelt down on his knees, worshipped on the ground, and said in a loud voice, "minister, Yan Sikong, I've seen your Highness the prince. His highness is thousands of years old, thousands of years old."

Yuan Nanyu also knelt down.

Chen Shuo clenched his fist, stepped forward, grabbed Yan Sikong's arm and helped him up. Yan Sikong was surprised how Chen Shuo could have such great strength. The next moment, he was hugged by Chen Shuo.

Yan Sikong was completely stunned.

Chen Bi hugged him tightly, which was different from the previous hugs. Instead, he was half a head higher than Yan Sikong. He could hold Yan Sikong firmly in his arms and use his already man's chest."I miss you so much, sir," whispered Chen in Yan Sikong's ear

Yuan Nanyu looked at them in surprise.

Yan Sikong hesitated for a moment, stroked Chen Kai's broad back and choked: "Your Highness has grown up. I really I will see your highness again in this life, and I will die without regret. "

Chen Kai just let go of Yan Sikong. He didn't want to move his eyes away from his face. He looked at him with unbridled eyes. His eyes were slightly moist. "I've been thinking about it for four years to see Mr. Chen again."

"How is your highness?"

“…… What's good and what's bad? The common people think it's excellent to have no worries about food and clothing, but I don't hate such comfort for a day. " Chen shook his head, "sir How are you When he said this, he carefully observed Yan Sikong's expression.

Although Yunnan is located in a remote area, all the major events in various places, especially in Beijing, have been known for a long time.

Yan Sikong laughed bitterly and said, "it's not good to see your highness again. It's also worth it."

"Sit down, sir." Chen Shu let Yan Sikong into his chair, and then he found one kneeling on the ground, "is he your bodyguard? Get up. "

Yuan Nanyu said in a low voice, "thank you, your highness."

Yuan Nanyu's technique of changing face is superb. Chen can't see his real appearance at all, and he doesn't pay much attention to him: "you go down, I want to have a few words with my husband alone."

"This man is my bodyguard, very reliable." Yan Sikong explained.

Chen Shu waved: "go down."

Yuan Nanyu arched her hand, took a look at Yan Sikong, and retreated.

Chen Shu poured tea for Yan Sikong himself: "why did you lose a lot of weight, sir? Is it a tiring journey, or Worry too much? "

Yan Sikong wry smile: "all have, Minister concerned about the country and the people, can't sleep at night."

"I've heard about what you've done in Beijing." At first, Mr. Chen said, "I'm ashamed I doubted it, but later my husband killed Xie Zhongren and wiped out the eunuch party, which was really gratifying. I finally understood my husband's determination and tenacity to endure humiliation for many years, sir Don't blame me

"How can I blame your highness? Your highness always remembers me, which has moved me a lot."

Chen Mu looked at Yan Sikong eagerly: "my husband sacrificed too much, but he was misunderstood by people all over the world. My heart really hurts."

"Others think that I'm a capricious, wind driven villain, and I don't care. What I want to do will not be shaken by rumors." Yan Si looked at Chen Yi calmly, "if your highness knows me, it's enough."

"In the past four years, I have always kept in mind the teachings of my husband. Although I was" assigned "to this remote and barren place, I did not dare to neglect my studies and practice martial arts one day. I kept a low profile and just waited for my opportunity." Chen Bi narrowed his eyes and said, "I believe what my husband said. I'm the most righteous Prince of Dasheng."

"That's right!" Yan Sikong accentuated the tone, "in my heart, your highness is always the crown prince, and he will be king in the future!"

Chen Bi clenched his fist: "after receiving the secret letter from my husband, I have begun to recruit troops and deploy secretly. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. I have already bribed the officials and generals. Now I'm just waiting for the time to come. My husband is here to help me."

"Yes, of course, I will help your highness ascend to the throne. I'll be heartbroken, and I'll do it."

Chen Xiaoxi said, "I will be able to get what I want if I have the help of a man like you."

"I'm not enough." Yan Sikong said, "Your Highness still needs the strength of one person."

"Who?" Chen Kai frowned, as if he had already guessed.

"The little wolf king made the wild."

Chen Wei's face changed slightly. He stood up, turned his back to Yan Sikong, looked out of the window, and said in silence: "I heard that Mr. Feng, as an envoy, said that he could not surrender the imperial edict. Instead, he lost Maoren and Qianzhou, and was imprisoned by the Imperial edict. So I doubted that Mr. Feng could deceive and use his intelligence. Sure enough, Mr. Feng and Mr. Chen had colluded with each other for a long time. ”

"Your Highness, if you want me to be a counsellor and you need the soldiers and horses to seal the field, your Highness's great things will come true."

Chen Bi suddenly turned around and glared at Yan Sikong in a bad tone: "the world has different opinions on Mr. Chen, but I always believe in Mr. Chen I know, but there is only one thing I want to hear from him, or I deny it myself. "

Yan Sikong's chest heaved. He felt guilty for no reason. He said, "Your Highness, please tell me the truth."

"Are you in love with Feng Ye?"

Yan Sikong looks at Chen without blinking. Her eyes flash. It seems that there are thousands of thoughts in her throat, but her eyes have already told everything.

"It's true!" he said

"Feng Ye and I There is no love Yan Si hollow mouth sullen pain, he said, "some is just, make a scene."

"Why? Why When Chen Shu was angry, he was so powerful that he said, "how dare you say that you don't like him?"Yan Sikong stood up and bowed deeply: "Your Highness, it's very useful to seal the field."

Chen Bi looked at Yan Sikong silently: "do you like men better than women?"

Yan Sikong sighed: "Your Highness, please don't ask any more. It's very embarrassing for me. My highness just needs to know that I and Fengye should be my highness's right arm to kill me back to the capital."

"I believe you, but I don't know." Chen Yu's breath cooled down, "Mr. hard work on the way, must be tired, good life and rest, I will treat Mr. well in the evening."

With that, Chen ran away.

"Your Highness..." Yan Sikong frowned deeply.
