Chasing King

After Yan Sikong went back to bed, he was tired both physically and mentally. He fell on the bed and fell asleep.

When she wakes up again, the dusk has gone down. Yan Sikong sits on the bed and looks at the dim moon outside the window. For a long time, she can't tell whether she is still in a dream.

He wanted to go out for a walk and wake up. When he came to the coat hanger, the first one to hit his eyes was the magnificent bear cloak, which was given to him by Fengye. In order to hunt such a big bear, the wolf king, who had already led a hundred thousand troops, had been crouching in the cold mountains for three days.

He stroked the soft and thick fur with his hand, and wore such a cloak, that is, there was no need to fear the terrible March and September cold days in Liaodong. Every time he put it on, he felt not only the warmth of the cloak, but also Fengye's care for him.

If Fengye had been bad to him, he would have died long ago. On the one hand, he was deeply attached to Fengye, and on the other hand, he was resentful and suspicious, sometimes cold and hot, sometimes good and sometimes bad, which made him at a loss. In addition to his former friendship and guilt, he could not hate Fengye, but he could not let go of it.

Fengye's struggle and pain were clear to him, but Fengye's desire for revenge and ambition for power had expanded beyond his sight, which made him blind for a long time, unwilling, afraid to see and confirm, and finally ended up in such an uncontrollable situation.

He often missed that young man, who, though rebellious, was also naive and simple, who had never lost all hope, never suffered and despaired.

He wanted Fengye to stay at that time forever. He liked Fengye like that. He would rather block all the wind and rain in front of Fengye than let Fengye experience the same dark torture as him, and then become what he is now.

Was he wrong when he helped Fengye tame the horses in the spring hunting ground? He said that he didn't need to recognize each other, but at the bottom of his heart he was expecting Fengye to come to him. It was he who got Fengye involved in his hatred, and then deceived and used Fengye.

But even without him, the decline of Fengjia was inevitable, just like the prosperity of Fengjia. He only hated that he was useless and lost to the eunuch party. No one could protect Yuanmao, yuannanyu and Fengye!

Yan Sikong waves her hand and knocks over the hanger.

He stood still, panting and gasping. His heart felt as if he had been immersed in water. Every time he breathed, he exhausted his strength.

He staggered open the door and went out. Outside the house, the wind was biting and the knife was scratching his skin, but he felt more sober than the cold. He needed the cold to make him sober.

No matter how much pain or resentment there is in the bottom of my heart, it doesn't help. When the pain is over and the resentment is over, he still has unfinished business, he still has deep desire, and he still has to live on.

He looked up at the cold night sky, and his feet kept grinding on the ground. He couldn't tell where he was going. He just walked. He hoped that the noble nine day moon overlooking the world would give him a direction at this time when he was at a loss.

When he left the hospital unconsciously, two figures came over from the dark, stopped in front of him, respectfully said: "Lord Yan, it's so late, where are you going?"

Yan Sikong suddenly wakes up and looks at them. They are all elite soldiers under Feng Ye: "you Why are you here? " When he asked, he had the answer in his heart.

"I protect Lord Yan in the name of wolf king. Lord Yan, it's cold at night. Why are you so thin? Be careful if you get sick. You'd better go back to your room and have a rest."

Yan Si looked at them coldly: "protect me, or watch me, or house arrest me?"

They looked at each other and said respectfully, "you're very serious. The wolf king ordered me to go with you to protect you. Where Yan wants to go, his subordinates will protect you. However, it's late at night now. If Yan wants to go, he won't wait for dawn."

"Watch me..." Yan Sikong murmured.

"Please go back to your room and have a rest. Don't freeze yourself."

Yan Sikong said calmly, "if I insist on going out?"

"I'll be my escort, but please put on warm clothes first."

Yan Sikong sneered and turned to walk into the room.

Does Feng Ye think he's going to run away?

Where can he escape to find Chen Bi? Even if he did not want to fight for the throne, he could not help Chen Kai to fight against Fengye.

In Fengye's heart, will he be so cold and unfeeling?

There was nothing left between them but obsession and entanglement.

-

Yan Sikong sat all night until dawn. He took a few mouthfuls of the meal sent by Ali, then he put down his chopsticks and asked Ali to change clothes for him.

When Ali lifted up the hanger and patted the ash on the bear's cloak, Yan Sikong said, "don't take that one."

A Li looks at Yan Sikong puzzledly.

Yan Sikong added: "don't wear that one."

Ah Li didn't know, so he just put away the cloak and took another cloak for Yan Sikong. After wearing it, he took ah Li out of the house.Fengye sent a new group of people to "protect" him, who were on duty in the daytime, and followed him without saying a word.

A Li pulled Yan Sikong's sleeve and motioned him to look at the tail behind him. Yan Sikong shook his head: "don't pay attention to it."

Yuan Nanyu lived in the mansion not far away. It was early in the morning. When he came, even the porter yawned, and most of his servants were still asleep.

The Porter said respectfully, "Oh, Lord Yan, why did you come so early? Our general is still resting."

"Take me to see him. I need him in a hurry."

"Yes." All the people around yuan Nanyu know that they are friendly, but they don't talk much. They lead Yan Sikong to yuan Nanyu's bedroom directly.

Yan Sikong knocked on the door: "general que, yes, Yan Sikong."

Inside the room immediately came a response: "Sikong? You come straight in. "

Yan Sikong motioned for Ali to wait outside and went in by himself.

Yuan Nanyu sat on the bed with his back to him. Obviously he just got up. He yawned: "no one else."

"Just me."

Yuan Nanyu just turned his face. His hair was disorderly and covered the ink on his forehead. At one glance, Yan Sikong seemed to see himself.

Yuan Nanyu saw Yan Sikong's look was different. She couldn't help touching the thorn on her forehead: "can my hair cover it?"

"Yes."

Yuan Nanyu said with a smile: "it seems that I should follow the example of the swordsman in the river and lake, and let my hair be more unrestrained."

"You used to be a swordsman." Yan Sikong sat beside yuan Nanyu. "Now, you are a famous general."

Yuan Nanyu's smile gradually disappeared. He was worried and said, "you must have something important to do when you come to me so early. Is it a bad thing?"

Yan Si said in a deep voice, "I don't know if it's a bad thing for you."

"What's the matter?"

Yan Sikong stares at yuan Nanyu: "you've been wandering around the world. Why are you willing to serve Fengye and give up your freedom?"

Yuan Nanyu was stunned, and immediately replied: "I am in the river and lake, and I also care about the river and mountain. When I came to Beijing, I was determined to rob King Jingyuan's prison. Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. If I have the ability, but I see loyal officials and good generals being harmed by crafty and sycophants, then I am not a hero. Later, I rescued Fengye. Knowing that he would inherit the mantle of King Jingyuan, I decided to follow him, eliminate evil and save the country and the people. "

“…… Then do you know how he will eliminate evil and save the country and the people? "

Yuan Nanyu was stunned again: "why do you ask? Isn't that what we're doing right now? "

Yan Sikong said softly, "yu'er I know you don't like me to call you like this, but if I can call you like this, I can feel more relieved. So I called I had a dispute with Fengye yesterday. "

"Why?" Yuan Nanyu was a little nervous.

Yan Si looked at yuan Nanyu's eyes and said clearly, "because he wants to be an emperor."

Yuan Nanyu blinked and didn't speak for a moment.

Witnessing all the reactions of yuan Nanyu, Yan Sikong shakes and shows a miserable smile: "originally, do you know?"

He's the only one who's been kept in the dark?

It's easy for him to see through a person with such a careful mind and a keen eye, but he is blinded by a leaf, and he can't see the person closest to him! No, in fact, he had guessed it for a long time, but he didn't want to doubt Fengye. He was just deceiving himself.

Yuan Nanyu sighed: "Sikong, Fengye didn't tell me, but I actually expected something. Since ancient times, which man does not want to be emperor? Fengye led us through life and death. I don't know how much he suffered. Now he has a heavy hand, but he can compete with the imperial court. The Chen family has destroyed him again. He has a whole family. Instead of usurping the throne, he is not like him. "

"So you are willing to help him become emperor." Yan Sikong said in a low voice.

"Why not?" Yuan Nanyu asked, "in terms of talent, ability, courage and insight, Fengye are all dragons and phoenixes among the people. The emperor is decadent and fatigued, the officials are dead, and the vassal is big. The Chen Dynasty is coming to an end."

Yan Si said in a deep voice, "do you know the rebellion of the eight kings of the Western Jin Dynasty?"

Yuan Nanyu frowned and was silent.

"Because of the scuffle among the vassals, the people were in dire need of living, the mountains and rivers were broken, and more than ten barbarians who had been obedient to me took advantage of the situation. They were brutal, inhuman, and wantonly ravaged our Han people." Yan Sikong's tone seems calm, but under the surface it is turbulent. "On the Bank of the Yishui River, the skeletons of a girl they call" two legged sheep "are piled up as high as a hill."

Yuan Nanyu tightened the quilt: "we will never let barbarians step into the Central Plains."

"If the world is in chaos, can you help it?" Yan Sikong grabs yuan Nanyu's arm. "Why do I insist on helping Chen Yu? Because only the person sitting on the throne, surnamed Chen, can stabilize the princes of all sides. But once they are granted the title of emperor, they will set up troops to serve as king, and the world will be in chaos. Who can predict what will happen in the interim? "Yuan Nan Yu narrowed her eyes and said in a low voice, "as long as it's not Chen Bi."

"What?"

"Fengye is not as impulsive and short-sighted as you think. He won't call himself Emperor rashly before stabilizing the situation. I wouldn't do such stupid things, but..." Yuan Nanyu looked at Yan Sikong deeply, "he will never let Chen Wei ascend the throne, you should understand."

"Even if it's not Chen, it should be other princes."

"If you really think that, it's good." Yuan Nanyu pushed Yan Sikong's hand away without any trace, and he pursed his lips. "For a long time, you insisted on supporting Chen Kai. If I were Fengye, I would find a yellow mouth child. It would be better to control it."

Yan Sikong looks at yuan Nanyu in a dazed way. Her heart is full of Qi and blood: "yu'er, you are Are you doubting me, too? "

Yuan Nanyu gritted her teeth: "I don't doubt you. I just remind you that we are brothers, and Fengye has been with you for many years. Even if Chen is your student, Fengye doesn't need him now, and he may unite with the imperial court to deal with Fengye. It's time for you to give him up!"

"Do you think it will be that simple?" Yan Sikong raised his voice. "Fengye is rebellious in the name of supporting the king of Chu. If they turn against each other, it will attract the vassals to attack Fengye."

"It's also a matter of time. Now we are in the Central Plains, only a few days away from the capital." Yuan Nanyu said, "think of space, I see now the best way is to quickly capture the capital, first help the young master to become emperor."

"Innocence Yan Sikong looked at yuan Nanyu in disbelief, "why did you have no fear of the enemy after several victories? What you are facing is the royal family, who has dominated this area for more than 200 years. Even with Chen's help, you may not be able to capture the capital. Now Chen is about to turn back. It's hard to make ends meet. Are you still so fantastic? "

Yuan Nanyu's face slightly changed: "we all the way from Shu to here, which is not extremely dangerous, can not do, how to know the outcome."

"If we want to do it, we must do it more steadily." Yan Sikong shook his head, "all the time, Fengye is like a gambler. He was more impulsive than he is now when he was young, but he was more restrained when he was older. But every time he gambled, he was bigger than before. Once he lost, I'm afraid he can't afford it. You didn't have such a temperament, how could you become like this?"

"What am I to be?" Yuan Nanyu looked angry. "I will follow Fengye to the death, and I will trust him and be loyal to him. If he is determined to be emperor, I will never look back."

Yan Sikong looks at yuan Nanyu plaintively, and his eyes are filled with unspeakable emotions.

Yuan Nan Yu took a deep breath: "Sikong, I don't want to argue with you. We are brothers. Why can't we join hands? "

"I want to join hands with you." Yan Sikong said softly, "but I'm afraid. I'm afraid to be a sinner through the ages."

Yuan Nanyu stroked Yan Sikong's face: "you and Fengye are both excellent talents. I believe we can all achieve our wish, really."

Yan Sikong shook his head gently.

Yuan Nanyu sighed again: "Sikong, you, you allow me to wash my face. I'll talk to you again. I don't want to hurt our brother's feelings."

Yan Sikong was silent.

Yuan Nanyu jumped out of bed and went to the outer room, only to hear the sound of water.

Yan Si stood as like as two peas, and looked down at the cupboard in front of the bed. He could see that many of the same masks were stacked up.

Under the ghost, Yan Sikong quickly picked up a mask and stuffed it into the sleeve.

"Que forget, I'll go back first."

Yuan Nanyu turned around and said, "don't leave. At least have dinner with me. We'll talk about it later. Maybe you misunderstood Fengye."

Yan Sikong shook his head: "the wolf king asked me to think clearly, but I didn't think clearly before I came to you. It seems that now, I still have to think clearly by myself."

"Sikong..."

"I'm back." Yan Sikong lowered her head and strode away.
