Chasing King

Shen Hexuan knew why he had been detained in Datong. When he saw Yan Sikong, he was not surprised. He did not see Yan Sikong as soon as he imagined.

Shen Hexuan has been in prison for nearly a year. He is much thinner, but his clothes are simple but clean, his hair is carefully combed, and his dignity is not weakened by being in prison. Sitting in the prison is as calm as being on duty in the Yamen.

Yan Sikong bowed to him: "brother Shen, long time no see."

Shen Hexuan looked at Yan Sikong coldly: "you are here at last."

"Is brother Shen waiting for me? I'm sorry. If I hadn't been busy, I would have come to see brother Shen earlier. "

"Are you busy helping Fengye merge Qianzhou and Datong, or are you busy helping the king of Chu recruit troops?"

Yan Sikong said with a smile, "you can't hide anything from brother Shen. Come and open the prison door."

The gaoler opens the cell door. Yan Sikong goes in with food and wine and sits cross legged opposite Shen Hexuan.

Shen Hexuan watched Yan Sikong put the food and wine on the table one by one. He said in a cold voice, "Lord Yan can walk freely in the prison of Fengye. It seems that he is highly valued by the anti thief."

Yan Sikong didn't take over, but poured two glasses of wine: "come on, I'll have a toast to brother Shen."

Shen Hexuan picked up the wine glass, paused for two seconds, splashed a glass of wine on Yan Sikong's face.

Yan Sikong closed his eyes, but there was still some liquor in his eyes, which was so hot that he almost burst into tears. He wiped his face with his sleeve and gave a faint smile: "this wine was to compensate brother Shen. Brother Shen can drink as much as he likes. Now that he has finished drinking, brother Shen can curse as much as he wants."

"It's a waste of words to scold someone who has no sense of shame at all." Shen Hexuan said with no expression, "you don't have to come to me to show off. If you want to kill or cut, you can do as you please. I will never surrender."

"I'm not here to persuade you to surrender."

"What are you here for? Laugh at me? " Shen Hexuan face ferocious, "laugh at me, even can believe you this despicable person, carelessly lost Maoren."

"With or without me, Maoren can't stand the wolf king's army, so can Qianzhou and Datong. Sooner or later, the wolf king will take over the northwest. With me, tens of thousands of soldiers will not be killed."

"Shameless!" Shen Hexuan said in a fierce voice, "you traitor who betrays the country and seeks glory should be so arrogant. You help the tyrant and drag the whole central plains into the civil war. How many soldiers will die in vain and how many people will be displaced. Your death is not enough to redeem them!"

Yan Sikong gave a cold smile: "if it were not for me, would it not be rebellious for Fengye? If it was not for me, would it be possible for the king of Chu to live in Yunnan? If it was not for me, would it not be possible for the imperial court to lose Hetao and Liaobei, so that the national strength would be weakened, the barbarians would be rampant, and the great Shengjiang mountains would be in danger?"

Shen Hexuan roared: "you are so unreasonable! What you have done will come to an end when Dasheng falls apart and foreigners will take advantage of the chaos and invade, and the land of our Han people will be over! "

Yan Sikong was also fierce: "it is just in order not to repeat the tragedy of the eight kings' rebellion in the Western Jin Dynasty that I want to support the king of Chu to inherit the great rule. The king of Chu is kind to people and loves things. At a young age, he is very resourceful. He will make the imperial court clean and make the people live and work in peace and contentment. I will never let the weak king of the current Dynasty destroy the land of the Han people."

"You can deceive others with your words, and you can't deceive me!" Shen Hexuan's face turned pale with anger. "The king of Chu is only 19 years old. He trusts you in every way. Fengye has a lot of troops. If he is in charge of the capital one day, even if the king of Chu is sitting on the throne, you and Fengye will be in power! You are just blackmailing the emperor to order the princes! "

"Yes Yan Sikong roared without showing weakness, "so what?"

"You..." Shen Hexuan pointed to him tremblingly, "wolf ambition! The wolf is ambitious

Yan Sikong took a deep breath: "brother Shen, you and I have known each other for more than ten years. Do you think I am greedy for money or sex, power or fame? What I did was denounced by people all over the world, but I endured humiliation and destroyed the eunuch party. I traveled thousands of miles to the king of Chu to build a foundation for him. I've never been greedy for personal pleasure in my life. Do you remember the wine we had together before you left Beijing? I talked with you about my ambition and my ideal at that time. It's just the way I realized them. You can't accept it. "

"You have done all kinds of evil and unreasonable things, but you have to give yourself a name for the righteousness of your family and country. It just makes me look down on you even more."

"I don't need any name. I don't care to explain to anyone except brother Shen. But brother Shen is different to me. I always believe that one day you can understand me, and maybe only you can understand me."

Shen Hexuan said contemptuously: "ridiculous."

"Brother Shen doesn't want the king of Chu to be emperor? Brother Shen has taught the king of Chu for many years. Don't you know that he is the real king? "

"I want him to be emperor, and I ask him for it at the request of the emperor. But why didn't he accept the imperial court's offer to surrender to become the crown prince? For the sake of the throne, he would not hesitate to commit treason. Even if such a disloyal and unfilial person ascends the throne in the future, how can he govern the world with filial piety? "

"If he goes back to be the crown prince, and does not say whether he has life to live to the day when he ascends the throne, how can he get revenge from huifei? Wouldn't it be more disloyal and unfilial if you didn't avenge your biological mother? ""You don't have to be unreasonable."

"Isn't brother Shen too naive? What's the difference between restricting the people and affairs of the world with ethics and morality and those corrupt scholars and pseudo saints who keep their feet off the ground! "

Shen Hexuan's face changed again and again: "well, you have a sharp tongue to confuse black and white. You secretly helped the anti thief to seize my territory of Dasheng, and also encouraged the prince to rebel. But in your mouth, it turned out to be a righteous act."

"I don't dare to say that I am a righteous act. I only know that the great prosperity of the world can't be destroyed in the hands of the ungrateful emperor. Only by assisting a holy Lord Mingjun can I realize my ideal."

"You want to help him or not." Shen Hexuan pointed to Yan Sikong and said: "control him with Fengye."

"The world is always the Chen family's world. In the future, when the king of Chu can be alone, we will retire."

"Even if you are willing to withdraw, is Fengye willing to withdraw?"

"Fengye is loyal and good for three generations. If you want to rebel, why does King Jingyuan not rebel when he supports his troops and respects himself? Fengye is forced to rebel by the foolish king and his courtiers. If you meet the Holy Lord Mingjun, he is a loyal and good general."

"Only a three-year-old would believe such nonsense."

"Brother Shen, whether you believe it or not, can't change anything. Even if you are in prison now, even if you have the heart to serve the country and save the people, you will be useless. If you die so old in prison, it's a pity that brother Shen is a statesman. Today, I'm not here to argue with brother Shen."

"What do you want to do?"

"I'm here to show brother Shen a way to live, and it's a way to make brother Shen show his strong points and live up to his ideal."

"You can't..."

"I want to send brother Shen's family to Yunnan."

Shen Hexuan was stunned.

"Good birds choose trees to live in, and good officials choose masters to serve. Brother Shen should know in his heart who is the master who can recover Da Sheng and who can make you realize your ideal of governing the country and keeping your name in history."

Shen Hexuan was silent.

"Or, brother Shen would like to go to the bottom of the water with a group of corrupt officials who are dead and have a vegetarian meal, and who are full of fury and thunder."

Yan Sikong poured another glass of wine, saluted Shen Hexuan, and drank it all by himself: "I'm going to make an envoy to Chahar with general que soon. It's dangerous to go there, and I may not be able to retreat completely. If brother Shen thinks it through, please tell me, otherwise there may be no turning around."

He put down his glass, got up and left the cell.

He could not have guessed that Shen Hexuan would make such a choice, but he had done his utmost. If he had not cherished his talents and cared for his classmates' friendship, he would not have left Shen Hexuan until now. If Shen Hexuan was stubborn again, he would have died in prison.

After meeting Shen Hexuan, he went to see Feng Xiang again. Feng Xiang was not as rigid and stubborn as Shen Hexuan. He didn't surrender because his family was still in Beijing.

Feng wants to be an unimportant person. Yan Sikong has no intention of embarrassment. He will discuss with Feng Ye to release this person, make him return to Beijing alone, and take a message to them to frighten the government and the public.

-

back in the mansion, Yan Sikong was annoyed by the smell of wine. He wanted to change his clothes as soon as possible, but he was blocked by Feng Hun, who was looking for the smell, and put his nose on him for a long time.

is as like as two peas. The wine is drunk by the Feng, but it only drinks the old wine. Ordinary wine can not enter its wolf eyes. When Yan Si is helpless, he asks the next man to bring a pot of wine that is exactly the same, and personally feed the soul.

After drinking the wine, Feng Hun walks around Yan Sikong and pours on him from time to time. Yan Sikong is not as steady and cold as usual. Yan Sikong can't stand it. After playing with it for a long time, he is very tired.

It was not until the sun set that Yan Sikong was invited to have dinner with the wolf king.

Feng Ye claimed that he broke his leg and needed to rest. In order to keep it a secret, he really made the appearance of lying in bed in the mansion and took all his meals to the front of the bed.

After Yan Sikong came into the room, Feng Ye held back his servants. Then he got up and got out of bed, stretched his muscles and bones, and complained: "lying for a day is more tiring than riding a horse."

"We're going to leave in a few days. Bear with it." Yan Sikong said, "have you discussed with que forget?"

"Well, although he can change his appearance into mine, he can't be exactly the same. His voice is also different. I can't help the close people's careful discrimination, so I will choose two trustworthy loyal servants to serve him. We'll go back as soon as possible, and we'll have an uncle. It should be no problem."

"That's good."

Feng Ye went to Yan Sikong and sniffed: "why do you smell like wine? Then Shen Hexuan is still in the mood to drink with you? "

"No, I fed HUNER a drink, it spread all over me."

Feng Ye pulled his collar: "it stinks. Take it off."

"I'll go back and change it now..."

"Take it off here." Feng Ye pressed his shoulder and looked at him in his spare time.

Yan Sikong hesitated for a moment, but he began to untie his clothes. Feng Ye seemed to think he was slow, so he quickly pulled open his lapel and turned him over on the couch.

"Feng Ye, don't you want to eat..."

"I'm more hungry here." Feng Ye takes Yan Sikong's hand and attaches his hidden part. Yan Sikong shrinks back like a hot hand.When he was pressed to do whatever he wanted, Yan Sikong did not forget to mention the business when he was in chaos: "Fengye, I have something to do Please... "

Feng Ye low smile: "do you want me to be faster, or heavier, or change a posture?"

"I I hope you let Shen Hexuan and Feng Xiang go. "

Feng yedun knocked into Yan Sikong's body, which made his servants tremble. He snorted coldly: "don't you have a long memory? I said, "don't mention other men in front of me, especially at this time."

Yan Sikong hugged Feng Ye's neck and rubbed his cheek with his forehead when he was in love. "Let them go."

Feng Ye was more and more furious. He didn't respond. He just embedded himself deeper and more heavily into this person's body and his uncontrollable soul.

-

before leaving, Feng Ye ordered Feng to let go, while Shen Hexuan compromised and was willing to go to Yunnan. Feng Ye disagreed at first. He thought that Shen Hexuan would make Chen too strong and difficult to control. But he was finally convinced by Yan Sikong. Yan Sikong worried that Chen had no power and was still young. Now he had military power. If someone around him was plotting against him, or the imperial court was plotting against him, they would fall short.

After taking care of the affairs of Datong, Feng Ye put on yuan Nanyu's armor and his mask. Feng Ye was taller than yuan Nanyu, but he was very strong. He had heavy armor and rode on a horse. He and Yan Sikong went out of the border to Chahar with three thousand guards and gifts.

Chahar tribe is not far away from Datong now, but two or three days' journey, from a distance, you can see Mongolian yurts all over the grassland, and scattered grazing livestock. They were not stationed here before, but moved to a place closer to Datong and Hetao with the intention of Weihe closing the field.

Nadahan's son Turku personally came to receive them. Seeing boxes of gifts, he could not help but smile and be polite to them. After they stationed their guards not far away, they led Feng Ye, Yan Sikong and two bodyguards to meet nadahan.

On the way, Turku first expressed to Yan Sikong their apology for killing the wolf king envoys, and then told them that the envoys of the imperial court had lived for a long time and wanted to see them.

Yan Sikong knew that what they wanted to see was himself. He said calmly that, according to the etiquette, they should first see Da Han. As for the emissary of Da Sheng, he would naturally meet for a while.
