Chasing King

Not surprisingly, Yang hung them for three days.

They didn't go out these three days. Apart from delivering food, it was hard for them to get in touch with outsiders. Instead, they took this opportunity to have a sweet time secretly.

However, they are not completely motionless. Every day, Yan Sikong will bury a few pieces of broken silver in the scraps. After a day or two, the food delivery guards will see their eyes twinkle.

On the third day, Yan Sikong ate a small piece of paper in the meal, spread it out and read four words: what's your order.

Yan Sikong shook the note towards Fengye and said with a smile, "the fish has bitten the hook."

The salary of the imperial court is not high. Even if it's an extremely important official, if he only depends on his salary, he has to maintain a decent life to support his family. For example, Yan Sikong's salary should be beyond the support of a carriage. Therefore, the practice of being greedy for ink and collecting money has become a "bad rule" in the officialdom. Although it is an unwritten rule to avoid being rude, it is hard for everyone to clear up from top to bottom. When he was promoted to the crown prince, he also received some congratulatory gifts.

Under such circumstances, it is even more impossible to expect the bottom guards to be honest and upright. Therefore, these people are very easy to buy, and it is enough to give small favors.

Feng Ye took the note: "I'm afraid I'm caught."

"It's worth taking a chance. If it's a plan, you can put it on the king of Liang." Yan Sikong took up his pen and wrote a note. When the ink was dry, he carefully rolled it up and put it into his sleeve.

At noon, the bodyguard came to deliver the meal. Yan Sikong made a color to him and buried the note and silver in the scraps again.

After the sun set, Yang Yingqi suddenly appeared in the post house.

Yan Sikong is at least an Imperial Academy. He is the most admired Hall of scholars in the world, a future bachelor and an important official of the imperial court. However, he respectfully says to Yang Yingqi, a rebel army commander: "Oh, I've been waiting for you for many days."

Yang Yingqi's attitude towards Yan Sikong is very helpful. Instead, he puts up a shelf and goes to the chair: "is Mr. Yan used to living these days? If there is any inconvenience, please let me know. "

"This post house has eaves and walls. It's more comfortable than the March tent. What's the inconvenience?"

They looked at each other and laughed.

Yang Yingqi said, "I'm afraid General Zhao has high hopes for your visit."

"Yes, although there were some misunderstandings between Mr. Liang when he was his envoy, General Zhao still hoped to have peace talks with general Bao." Yan Sikong said earnestly, "if you want to die in a war, stop fighting. Ha ha."

"The people of Yanda have a point, but my Lord has done it again and again..." Yang Yingqi observed Yan Sikong's expression, "we have so many mouths to eat, it is forced helpless."

"I understand."

"Your Majesty is so gracious that he is willing to give us a chance. My Lord and I are very grateful. If your majesty is a marquis on the spot and gives us land to live and work in peace and contentment, who wants to rebel?"

Yan Sikong scolded the villain in his heart for being shameless. He wanted to be a marquis. On the surface, he said with a smile: "I don't think it's a problem. Your majesty is more worried about the rebellion of King Liang now. As long as general Bao and his husband are willing to work for your majesty and win over the king of Liang together, and make great contributions to the imperial court at that time, it's nothing to do."

"The king of Liang guarded Jingzhou and controlled the waterway fortress. He had 30000 excellent soldiers under him. It's easy to defend but hard to attack."

"That's why I need more help from my husband." Yan Sikong said in a low voice, "my husband has learned a lot. He is not a thing in the pool. Do you want to bury yourself in Kuizhou?"

Yang Yingqi narrowed his eyes: "I'm originally cloth clothes. Now I can fight for a way out for the suffering villagers. I can't live up to this. How dare I bury it."

"Sir, this is not true. Whether it's King Liang or general Bao, do you really believe that they can be called king or emperor? If you really care about the common people, you should know that you can't bypass your official career by pursuing lofty ideals. That's what you can do for the common people. "

"Official career, ha ha." Yang Yingqi sneered twice, "I'm not good at learning. I'm afraid I don't have the ability to be ambitious."

"That's not true, sir." Yan Sikong said with a sincere face, "the disadvantage of the imperial examination lies in respecting Confucius and Mencius and selecting Eight Legged scholars, which bound a lot of really thoughtful and knowledgeable talents. In order to win the mid-term examination, I tried my best to drill Eight Legged scholars. If I were not young enough to wake up, I would have become corrupt scholars sooner or later. I can't agree with you if you belittle yourself in your position. "

Yang Yingqi's eyes were beating a bit, but he had to try his best to cover up. It was obvious that he was on the cusp of his heart.

Yan Sikong is a nine-year-old, a 13-year-old exile, and in his early twenties, but he has seen countless people and thought about people's hearts just right. He sometimes knows what a person wants and wants to hear at a glance.

Such ability is extremely rare in Yan Sikong's age. From royal families to nobles and civilians, the class has been completely solidified for thousands of years. Few people can cross the class except for those who have passed the imperial examinations. The people in the world are based on farming. The vast majority of people are bound to the land. They are in the same place and class with them all their lives. No matter how noble or humble they are, most of them are the same Here.But Yan Sikong was different. He was born in a rich family and grew up in a government house. He wandered for ten years. He wanted to have a meal, fight miscellaneous things, and grow land. He worked as a bookboy for the landlord ' All the way, he won two ranks of Jinshi, entered the Imperial Academy, lectured at the Sutra banquet, and served the prince. In the past half of his life, he has walked through most of the great Shengjiang mountains, worshipped the supreme of the ninth five year plan, and learned about barefoot Untouchables. Everyone has seen him. He has lived a richer life than ordinary people. It's too easy to handle one person.

Yang Yingqi coughed softly: "Lord Yan is so proud of me. No scholar in the world has the ambition to serve the country and the people, but..."

"Sir." Yan Sikong said in a low voice, "to tell you the truth, I am a Sheng minister, but I also admire Mr. Chen's strategy in private. I'm afraid it's Mr. Chen's credit that he retired from Shu army and won Kuizhou, guangnashi and general Bao all the way here."

Yang Yingqi touched his beard and nodded.

Yan Sikong sighed: "Mr. Bao is a genius. I'm afraid that's the only way Kong Ming is alive. Recently, Beijing has been secretly discussing that there must be an expert behind general Bao. Sure enough, sure enough!"

Yang Yingqi blinked: "Beijing and China are talking about this?"

"It's natural to talk about such an important matter. Of course, you can't talk about it in front of your majesty." Yan Sikong shook his head and sighed, "with Mr. Yu here, we can only look forward to Kuizhou sighing."

Yang Yingqi was highly praised, but his mind was still clear, and he did not completely relax his vigilance. He only said, "it's just to plan for his position."

Yan Sikong suddenly said: "now, is your husband going to continue to be trapped in Kuizhou, or is he going to rebel with King liang?"

Yang Yingqi pursed her lips and twisted her eyebrows.

Yan Sikong said with a light smile: "Sir, you should understand that Kuizhou is not a place of long-term peace, and the king of Liang is not a person you can trust. If you are so wise, don't let yourself become a frog."

"Now I'm afraid General Zhao is more embarrassed than us," Yang said coldly

"It's true for the time being, but the imperial court is still mobilizing troops to the two lakes. How long can Kuizhou be a lonely city? To tell you the truth, if I fail this time, General Zhao and general Di will merge and besiege the city. "

Yang Yingqi stared straight: "how dare you say this to me? Are you not afraid that you will never come back? "

Yan Sikong said with a smile: "I'm a little Hanlin. What's the advantage of killing me? I really admire and cherish Mr. Chen's talent, so that I can reveal military information. If Mr. Chen doesn't appreciate it, I won't say it. "

Yang Yingqi said in a deep voice, "go on."

"Well, when the city is besieged one day, do you think the king of Liang will help as he said?"

Yang Yingqi did not speak.

"The strength of King Liang is no more than 30000, and his advantage lies in occupying the military fortress of Jingzhou. Once he leaves Jingzhou, his advantage is not there, and he is likely to be wiped out by our army. If he is king Liang, will you come to rescue him?"

Yang is still silent.

Yan Sikong lowered his voice and followed the guidance: "if Mr. Liang is the king of Liang, he will take Kuizhou as bait and hold our army down. Then he will recruit all the way down the stream and point his sword at Jinling. As long as he takes Jinling and sits on Jinshan and Feishui, will little Kuizhou still be in his eyes?"

Yang stood up with his hands behind his back and stared at Yan Sikong.

Yan Sikong also got up, bowed to Yang Yingqi, and then pointed to a big wooden box in the bed: "that treasure is not for general Bao, but for Mr. Bao."

Yang Yingqi picked an eyebrow: "how dare you."

"I have the courage to give it, sir, but I have the courage to take it?" Yan Sikong looked at Yang Yingqi deeply, "Mr. Bao is different from general Bao. Mr. Bao is a talent available to the imperial court. He should never fail to live up to his bright future."

Yang looked at Yan Sikong for a long time, turned and left.

Fengye is standing at the door, dutifully in front of the bodyguard, see Yang Weiqi left, just turned into the house, closed the door.

Yan Sikong poured himself a glass of water and took two big mouthfuls.

Feng Ye looks at Yan Sikong with a complicated look.

Yan Sikong sighed: "I'm so tired. It's hard to deal with this person."

"Seriously? But I listen to you lead him all the time. He is smart, but he is not smarter than you. "

Yan Sikong shook his head: "people's minds are unpredictable. Never underestimate anyone, especially the enemy."

Feng Ye stares at Yan Sikong as if he wants to talk and stop.

Yan Sikong said, "what's the matter?" He said with a smile, "the prince of Jingyuan is guarding the door for us. Yang Yingqi is really smoking."

Feng Ye did not smile, but sighed: "kong'er, sometimes you are so smart that I feel..."

"What do you think?"

Feng yedun, then shook his head and said with a smile, "you've really grown up. I can't understand you any more."

"Can you figure me out when you were a child?"

Feng Ye took him by the hand, gave him a kiss on the forehead, and said with a low smile, "that's not true. I started to think about you when I grew up. I've thought about you inside and outside, and found that it's delicious."Yan Sikong was also happy: "it's not serious again."

Feng Ye then put his arms around his waist, kissing his fortune and eyebrows: "if it's not for military emergency, I really want to stay here for a few more days. I don't think I have enough time to be with you."

Yan Sikong stroked Fengye's sideburns: "if you are tired of being together all the time, the taste is not beautiful. I think it's very good now."

Feng Ye dropped his lips on Yan Sikong's, gently kissing him, and said vaguely: "but I just want to get tired of being together all the time..."

Yan Sikong put his arm around his neck and responded with emotion. At the same time, he did not forget to laugh: "you are right. Your father will reward you for your military battle when he sees you like this."

"I said, for you, it's worth the knife." Feng Ye spins to pick up Yan Sikong and presses on the collapse

-

the next day, Yang Yingqi ordered someone to come and take away a box of gold and silver, but the person didn't show up.

Yan Sikong knows that the task is about to be completed. If Kuizhou old headquarters can receive his message smoothly, they can return. When the time comes to merge the besieged city, Yang Yingqi will persuade Bao Yunyong to surrender.

The waiting time is extremely difficult, current events are changeable, and variables are everywhere.

When they discussed the trend of King Liang again, Feng Ye said: "if we really besiege the city, even if King Liang has 100 reasons to abandon Kuizhou, it is still possible to come to help. After all, there are 50000 or 60000 troops available here."

Yan Sikong nodded: "that's right. Although I advised yang to stay in Kuizhou like that, the king of Liang is still at least 30% likely to come to help. We must not let the king of Liang come to Kuizhou."

"To be on the safe side, I asked General Zhao to take a cavalry to Jingzhou and set up an ambush on the way to Kuizhou. I don't know whether King Liang will go by land or by water. If he goes by land, he will not be able to pass me."

"I see your mind set on going to war." Yan Sikong said helplessly.

Feng Ye's eyes flashed with wild fighting spirit: "a good man should fight all over the battlefield, and go to battle to kill the enemy. He is very happy."

Yan Sikong's face was a little gloomy: "Fengye, you always tell me not to risk myself. If you go to attack, how can I be upset?"

Feng yedun was a little embarrassed: "free time I've been addicted to talking. From childhood to adulthood, my father taught me how to be a general. I'm a general, and I won't easily put myself in danger. "

Yan Sikong squinted at him: "seriously?"

"Seriously." Feng Ye said affectionately, "how can I have the heart to upset you?"

"Fengye, you are wild and uninhibited, and impulsive. Promise me that you will think twice before you do anything."

Feng Ye had no choice but to smile: "look at you, before you go through the door, you begin to scold me like my father."

Yan Sikong laughed: "nonsense again, but I'm serious."

"Don't worry, I understand."

Yan Sikong stares at Feng Ye's young and beautiful face. He can fully feel Feng Jianping's mood of looking at his only son, who wants to teach him to stay away from danger.

-

the sun is going to set. They are both waiting for the bodyguard to deliver today's dinner. If it goes well, Kuizhou's old headquarters should also have news.

But things are often not "smooth", they did not wait for dinner, the door of the post house was vigorously kicked open, a group of bodyguards fish in, can not help but say will two people down.

Both of them look at each other calmly. Feng Ye even says "don't be afraid" to Yan Sikong with his mouth. Yan Sikong smiles. If others take care of him like a woman everywhere, he will be deeply humiliated. But Feng Ye treats him like this, he just feels sweet.

Yan Sikong said calmly, "we are at least the envoys of Dasheng. No matter what it is, we should straighten our clothes."

The leader thought for a moment and let them go.

Yan Sikong and Fengye wear their crested vests respectively. Yan Sikong looks at the leader and says, "you are the old part of Kuizhou."

That person leng Leng, looking at Yan Sikong, no reply.

Yan Sikong smiles, straightens her skirt and caresses her sleeve: "please."

They calmly followed the guards and left the post house.

Sure enough, their affair with Kuizhou was discovered, and they were brought to Bao Yunyong and Yang Yingqi.

Bao Yunyong's face is angry, and Yang Yingqi's eyes are even colder. He obviously feels that he has been teased by Yan Sikong. On the surface, he appeases him, but on the private side, he makes a bad move, intending to plot against the old Kuizhou.

Even with their eyes closed, they could feel the murderous air coming from their faces.

Bao Yunyong beat the case: "Yan Sikong, you thief, it's false to come to appease and it's true to plot against the old Kuizhou. I should have killed you as soon as you entered the city!"

Yan Sikong bowed himself in no hurry: "I have no intention of plotting rebellion and estrangement. Why did general Bao say that?"

"How dare you argue?" Bao Yunyong cried, "come on, bring it up!"

Soon, a man described as embarrassed was escorted in. Yan Sikong glanced at the food delivery guard who received his money.

Bao Yunyong threw a note to Yan Sikong: "didn't you write it?""It's true." Yan Sikong didn't look at the note.

Bao Yun was so brave that his mouth was askew: "then you're still quibbling!"

Yan Sikong arched his hand and said, "general, what did I write on it?"

Bao Yunyong's face sank and his forehead was blue.

Yan Sikong made a sudden expression: "someone must have told the general."

Bao Yunyong is illiterate. Yan Sikong's question seems to be unintentional, but it makes Bao Yunyong dumb and unable to get angry. However, Yan Sikong's intention is not there. As soon as he sweeps the corner of his eye, he can see a trace of contempt in Yang Yingqi's eyes.

"I do have contact with Kuizhou's old headquarters. Please listen to my explanation." Yan Sikong said calmly.
