Chasing King

Yan Si turned to ask, she Zhun gave him a color, shook his head, and lowered his voice: "I'll go to the city to inquire, you wait for me here, don't contact with people."

"In such a small county, we can find out what we can hear."

"If you know, it's no secret. It's not hard to find out. Just wait for me." She Zhun killed the wine in her glass, got up and left.

Yan Sikong froze for a moment, and continued to eat noodles. But at the same time, he raised his ears to eavesdrop on the people at the table. In fact, it was not eavesdropping. The voices of these people were so loud that they couldn't stop them.

However, they didn't care much about the king of Chu's sending troops to Taiyuan. They just complained that the situation was turbulent because of the possible war. The people who sent the darts didn't dare to send them. They lost their orders.

It was two hours after she Zhun left. Yan Sikong saw off a batch of diners. Even the store's eyes were not right. Fortunately, he changed his face a little, otherwise it would be enough to attract people's attention.

Before dark, she Zhun came back. He deliberately ignored Yan Sikong's anxious and inquiring eyes and called Xiao Er: "give me ten jin steamed buns, ten jin cooked beef, and a few pots of wine."

Small two eyebrows smile: "good, my guest."

As soon as the sophomore left, Yan Sikong asked, "how about it?"

"Chen did send troops, just the day after we escaped from Taiyuan."

"How many soldiers does he lead? What is the speed of the March and where is it now? "

She Zhun frowned: "it has nothing to do with you."

Yan Sikong was stunned, and his eyes dodged: "I just Even if there are spies in the city, it will take two or three days at the fastest to send the news from Taiyuan to Yongzhou, unless they guess that I will run away on the day of Fengye's wedding? "

"It's not hard to guess. To rob a prison is to find a time when the guard is lax. Besides, when you robbed the prison of Fengye, it was in..." She Zhun looked at Yan Sikong's gloomy face and wanted to say nothing.

"Yes." Yan Sikong sneered, "I sometimes feel that he and Fengye are being fooled by fate. Otherwise, after many years, how can the same thing happen to us again? It's just a change of position."

She Zhun was silent and didn't know how to comfort Yan Sikong.

"But..." Yan Sikong wondered, "can Shen Hexuan and Chen Kai guess, but can't Feng Ye? Do you think it's too easy for us to escape from Taiyuan? "

"Easy?" She Zhun unconsciously raised her voice, but immediately realized that they were still in the noodle shop, and immediately lowered her voice, "you just played a play in front of the city gate. Of course, it's easy. I broke my intelligence line in Taiyuan and spent a lot of money."

"She Zhun, I didn't mean that. I'm sorry."

She Zhun said, "forget it."

At this time, the second child also prepared what they wanted and paid for it. They left for a moment. Ali, who was hiding outside the city, had not eaten yet.

After leaving the city, Yan Sikong was still thinking over and over again, and always felt that things were not so simple.

She Zhun couldn't help but said, "if Chen Wei wants to come to Taiyuan, you will be upset."

Yan Sikong said in a low voice: "Taiyuan is my battle Besides, what Chen wants to do will completely affect the overall situation of the world. How can I not think about it? "

"What's the use of thinking about it? You've made up your mind to leave Fengye, and you can't help Chen Kai. What's the relationship between them? "

"It used to be related to me. Now I'm asked how to put it down completely." Yan Si said in a deep voice, "it's the coldest time of the year. Few people will send troops at this time. What does Chen want to do?"

"Sending troops does not mean that there must be war." She Zhun said coldly, "don't forget that although the dog emperor has abolished Chen Chun, he didn't promise him anything, but Fengye is still loyal to the king of Chu."

"On the surface, ha ha." Yan Sikong sneered, "their thoughts have long been Sima Zhao's heart. Everyone knows that Chen Kai's coming this time is to tear this layer of window paper with Fengye. As long as Fengye refuses to give up the city, Chen Kai will immediately tell the world. At that time, Fengye is the target of many people."

"Now that he has chosen this road, he is ready. You won't worry about him if he treats you like that for his ambition?"

Yan Sikong lowered his eyes: "I have broken up with him, whether he lives or dies, whether he wins or loses, it has nothing to do with me, but my brother is still his vanguard general."

"He is no longer a child. He chose to follow Fengye. It's worthwhile for a man to gallop on the battlefield and make contributions. You can do nothing but pray for his safety. "

“…… Well

She Zhun looked at Yan Sikong with a twinkle in her eyes: "Sikong, forget all this, otherwise you will live, and you can only live in the quagmire of the past."

Yan Sikong shook his head: "it's too late. No matter where I go in my life, my heart is in the mire."

She Zhun's eyes are dull pain.

-

after they found Ali, he was naturally hungry and ate two kilograms of steamed stuffed buns in one breath. Yan Sikong looked at him wolfing down like a child, comforting and sad.He made up his mind that after they escaped from the Central Plains, he would settle down ah Li and say another marriage. He would not have a home in his life. He hoped that Ali would have a home, and that he would not have to be displaced and lonely like him.

After eating, she Zhun urged them to go on the road. They bought so much food and horse hay in the city. If Fengye tracked them down here, it would probably be them, so he couldn't stay long. After that, he had to go to such a small town for supplies. Climbing the mountain road and avoiding people, it would be a miserable day.

A few days later, they finished their food and had to enter the city nearby. This place is close to Pingliang. Qingyang is going west. If it goes well, if they go south for another ten days and a half months, they can leave Fengye's sphere of influence.

There are more than ten villages around Pingliang City, but Pingliang is also a small city. The surrounding villages are even more closed, and the villagers know each other. As soon as they enter, they will be targeted. So if they want to supply, they have to go to Pingliang. Although they have to take risks, they have no choice.

But she Zhun insisted on going alone for fear that they would be found.

"How can you bring back three people's rations and three horses' hay by yourself?" Yan Sikong said, "if Ali wants to stay here, we have to go both of us."

"No way." She Zhun said decidedly, "Pingliang is the city of Fengye. At this time, it must be full of wanted warrants. The city gate is heavily guarded. I'm afraid you'll show your flaws."

"You can't be recognized because of your superb skill of changing face. If you go alone, we will have to go to supply again in a few days. If you delay time, when can you go out?"

"I'm afraid that something will go wrong. I'd rather go slowly than safely." She Zhun said, "I will try my best to bring more things back. You can wait for me here."

Yan Sikong frowned and said, "she Zhun, how do I feel? You don't want me to go."

She Zhun looked calm: "naturally, I don't want you to go. I'm afraid you will be found."

"No, I think it's more than that." Yan Sikong stares at she Zhun with a scanning eye, "we just need to act separately. No matter how strict the Pingliang guard is, it's impossible to pick everyone's face."

"Feng Ye knows that I can change my face. Can't he be on guard?" She Zhun said sternly, "don't argue with me any more. Just wait for me here. I'll come back before dark. If it's not enough, I'll go again tomorrow."

Yansi paused: "OK."

After watching she Zhun go down the mountain, Yan Sikong looks at ah Li: "ah Li, do you think she Zhun was not right just now?"

Ali shook his head blankly.

Yan Sikong is very good at observing words and colors, and can catch the subtle emotional changes of others. He thinks that she Zhun's insistence on not letting him go is abnormal. However, she Zhun's words are not totally unreasonable. Maybe it's just too cautious. He is too thoughtful.

Just, two people one spirit waited until afternoon, didn't see she definitely come back. Yan Sikong is a little worried. He doesn't know if Pingliang has a curfew, but since it's a city sealed off from the wild, the rules are mostly the same. After sunset, people are not allowed to go in and out of the city. It's only an hour before sunset to see the weather.

He thought about it and decided to go to the city. If something happened to she Zhun, I'm afraid that only he could save her life.

Ali didn't want to let him go, but he didn't dare to disobey him, so he had to watch him go down the mountain.

When entering the city, Yan Sikong saw that there were large portraits of the three people at the gate of the city. He was interrogated, but because she Zhun's transfiguration technique was really good, the guards didn't recognize it and let him into the city.

His portraits are everywhere in the city, and the reward has reached 10000 Liang, which shows the anger of Fengye. Moreover, the atmosphere in the city is very tense. Everyone is in a hurry. The sergeants shuttle through the city in rows, carrying all kinds of military funds. It's almost like Prepare for war.

Pingliang is preparing for war Has Chen Shu come near, or has he declared war like Fengye?

If you think about it carefully, it's unlikely that there will be a connection between the two. At this time, the weather is cold and the speed of marching is slow, so Chen can't be so fast. Moreover, compared with fighting, Chen naturally still wants to talk about it, but he doesn't talk about it. How can he declare war rashly.

The only possibility is that Fengye is ready to fight with Chen Kai. Even if on the surface he still wants to show the world, there is no room for him to turn around.

Yan Sikong looked at the soldiers in fengjiajun armor walking in front of him, and he had all kinds of tastes in his heart.

It will be an earth shaking war soon. Although Fengye has the name of a god general, and there are countless capable people under him, Chen Kai is also prepared to come, and Shen Hexuan, a counselor, will help Fengye Can we win?

He felt his heart tighten at the thought that Fengye might lose. He can't imagine the appearance of Fengye's failure, and the only thing left in his arrogant eyes is the ash of despair.

He took a deep breath and thought of everything Fengye had said and done to him before parting. The mood in his eyes gradually cooled down.

He and Fengye are not in debt. They go their separate ways. He no longer cares about the success or failure of Fengye.

He's just worried about yuan Nanyu.Thinking of yuan Nanyu, Yan Sikong is really worried and helpless. But as she Zhun said, why Kunpeng traveled in Qianxi? He could not hinder a man's ambition. He only hoped that yuan Nanyu would get what he wanted.

Just thinking about yuan Nanyu, he heard a young general shouting to the soldiers who were consigning military supplies: "hurry up, general que will go to Pingliang tomorrow! Come on

Yan Sikong was surprised. Did you forget to come to Pingliang tomorrow? If he can arrive in Pingliang tomorrow, it means that he has already left Taiyuan.

What is yuan Nanyu doing here?

Yan Sikong's heart is sinking. He doesn't need to think about it. He knows what yuan Nanyu is doing. He must have been sent by Fengye to guard Qingyang, Pingliang and Fengxiang.

These three cities were all built by yuan Nanyu, and they were most familiar with each other, but they were still a line of defense against Chen. If Chen wanted to take Taiyuan by force, he had to take these three cities first.

But in this way, yuan Nanyu was the first to meet Chen's most powerful and cutting-edge troops.

Yan Sikong felt worried.

Suddenly, a hand suddenly grabbed Yan Sikong and dragged him back. As soon as Yan Sikong was about to resist, she Zhun's familiar voice came from behind: "it's me."

She Zhun dragged Yan Sikong into the alley and said, "what are you doing in the city? I told you to wait outside the city! "

"If you don't come back, the sun is going to set."

"I want too many things on my own. It's easy to arouse suspicion, so I have to buy them in several shops." She Zhun's eyes trembled slightly, as if she wanted to see something from Yan Sikong's face.

Yan Si air cold way: "you know so, still insist on not let me follow."

"I'm afraid of..."

"You're afraid I know the military situation." Yan Sikong's tone was sharp.

She zhunding looked at him and said nothing.

"Yu'er will arrive in Pingliang tomorrow. He has already set out from Taiyuan. Do you have any information that day?"

She Zhun is still silent.

"You've heard that!" Yan Sikong raised her eyebrows and said, "are you hiding it from me on purpose? You don't want me to know, do you? "

"What if you know?" She Zhun said coldly, "it's not easy for you to escape. Do you want to go back?"

"I will not go back, but yu'er is my brother. How can I not miss him? Besides, what are you hiding from me? "

She Zhun said goodbye: "I'm afraid you are soft hearted The sun is setting. Let's go. "

"Wait a minute." Yan Sikong seized she Zhun and said, "tell me what you've heard. If you don't tell me, I'll always be upset."

She Zhun gritted her teeth and said, "since you don't plan to go back, what else do you know? It's just more trouble. " Then he walked out of the city without looking back.

Yan Sikong chased after him, but he didn't dare to have too much dispute to avoid suspicion. He just asked, "she Zhun, do you know anything else? Tell me

She would turn a deaf ear.

Yan Sikong looked at the sky. The sun was really setting. He didn't dare to delay for a moment. He bought some things on the way and planned to go out of the city first.

Until out of the city, Yan Sikong asked sternly, "she Zhun, are you dumb?"

She Zhun suddenly turned around and glared at Yan Sikong: "what do you want to do when you ask about military intelligence? Are you worried about yuannanyu or Fengye? "

"He's my brother!" Yan Sikong said harshly, "he may be going to war with Chen soon. Can't I even inquire about the military information?"

"What happens after you've inquired? If you don't think yuan Nanyu has a chance of winning, what do you plan to do? Are you going to help him? "

Yan Sikong said: "first of all, Chen Kuai may not go to war. Secondly, yu'er is also a wise and brave general. He still has a city to defend. As long as he is given enough troops, even with Shen Hexuan, he will have the advantage. He may not need anyone's help. I want to know the military situation, just worry about him. "

"If What if he really needs it. " She Zhun looked at Yan Sikong deeply, "on the battlefield, the sword and arrow have no eyes. Even if the war seems to be a sure thing, it may be defeated in the end. Yuan Nanyu chose to follow Fengye to rebel, that is to say, he put his life out of the question. Do you know that your brother may die in the battle, and you can't do anything about it?"

Yan Sikong was stunned. He said in a trembling voice: "I It's natural. "

"To be born alive is to be helpless." She Zhun pressed Yan Sikong's shoulder, "put it down, don't think about anything related to Fengye."

"But..." Yan Sikong said softly, "if yu'er is really in trouble, I will come to save him at the end of the world."

"You..." She Zhun's face turned pale.

Yan Sikong grabs she Zhun's hand, and his foreboding is more and more intense: "she Zhun, are you still hiding something from me? What else do you know? "

She Zhun shook off his hand and looked cold: "Yan Sikong, I ask you, are you willing to do anything for your brother?"

Yan Sikong said without hesitation: "when he was willing to exile for me in the northwest, I was willing to die for him."She Zhun let out a long breath, her face full of fatigue and sadness.

"She Zhun, what's the matter? What are you hiding from me? "

"Fengye He sent yuan Nanyu back to the three cities of Qingyang, Pingliang and Fengxiang. "

"I have guessed that."

"But he was only given 30000 troops." She closed her eyes like a dead heart.

This remark is like a bolt from the blue. Yan Sikong suddenly feels a blank in her mind.

Fengye, only to yuannanyu 30000 troops, guarding three cities, facing Chen's 100000 troops?!

Yan Sikong's Qi and blood attacked his heart for a moment, but he felt black in front of his eyes and almost fell to the ground.

"Think of the sky!" She Zhun quickly held him, "are you ok?"

Yan Sikong clenched his back teeth. His eyes were red and his face was ferocious: "Feng Ye is forcing me to go back. He takes my younger brother to coerce me. He dares to take my yu'er to coerce me!"
