unprepared

Su Huai faintly felt that he seemed to have missed some important event, and it was related to Yan Chen.

"You went to find him?"

Chen Yin nodded.

"I boiled the wine and prepared some dishes, let's talk while eating!" Shuang Shuang said.

Wang Xiao was the first to join in: "Okay, I'm starving to death!"

Su Huai glanced at him, who was the one who went to the kitchen for food before leaving?

The four of them sat around a small square table. One of the legs of the small square table was still lame, and it was padded with a wooden stake. A charcoal basin was placed under the table. They didn't feel any coolness when drinking wine, and even felt a little hot. .

Su Huai didn't take the initiative to ask about Chen Yin's going to find Yan Chen. He just drank silently while counting the time in his mind. .

However, this person turned against him at a critical moment, what was the reason for.

"Stop eating, tell Mr. Su!" After drinking for a while, Shuangshuang really couldn't stand the quiet atmosphere, so she patted Wang Xiao's hand and said, "Didn't you see Mr. Su anxious?" His face turned green."

"Who's face turned green?" Su Huai hurriedly retorted.

Well, he admits that he wishes anyone could come and explain to him what's going on, or that he wants to hear what he wants to hear, even if it's just some excuses for that person .

After gnawing a chicken paw and wiping his hands, Wang Xiao said to Su Huai, "You are not kind."

"Huh?" Where did you start talking about this?

Wang Xiao: "My face is like this, but you don't even ask me. Is it not kind of you to talk about it yourself?"

Su Huai was stunned for a moment before saying: "I don't know how your face became like this, if I poke your scar, wouldn't it be even more unkind?"

He could see that Wang Xiao had also changed a lot. Although he still liked to say some inconspicuous words, he had obviously matured a lot. He was no longer the simple-minded and well-developed Wang Huwei before.

"My face..." Anyway, at this moment, he is still very regretful, "I made it myself."

"..." Su Huai was speechless, only shocked.

"Yan Chen works under Yan Xiangnan's hands, but Yan Xiangnan doesn't completely trust him. I'm afraid Yan Chen doesn't even know how many eyeliners there are in the general's mansion. It may be that Yan Xiang is the only one besides you and me. Nan's people." Wang laughed, "From the selection of the site to the construction of the general's house to the housekeepers and servants inside, Yan Xiangnan personally staffed it, how dare Yan Chen take it lightly."

Su Huai frowned, why did Yan Chen, a traitor, seem aggrieved.

"He needs someone he can trust by his side, and the connection with His Highness also requires such a person."

Su Huai couldn't even drink anymore: "You, you mean that Yan Zhizhou is still alive..."

"Yeah." Wang smiled and nodded.

"He and Yan Chen...what the hell are they doing?" Su Huai was a little annoyed.

That's right, he heard the words that could excuse Yan Chen, because Wang Xiao's words were obviously telling him that everything Yan Chen was doing now was for Yan Zhizhou, and he was breaking into Yan Xiangnan's interior.

But all of this, he was completely kept in the dark.

"Back then, Brother Yan told me that he would trust me no matter what happened after he settled me down. I didn't understand what that meant at the time, until I heard that Brother Yan had rebelled and killed more than 3000 soldiers under his command to join Yan Xiangnan. I wanted to confront him on the spur of the moment, but I could only hold back when I thought of his confession... I didn't know until later that he had to do all this." Chen Yin said.

"Is it true that he killed three thousand soldiers?" Su Huai asked.

"It's true." Wang Xiao didn't intend to hide it.

Su Huai poured a glass of wine and drank it with his head raised.

"This idea was given to him by Mr. Song by his side." Wang said with a smile.

"Song and Tang?"

"Yeah." Wang Xiao put a few pieces of beef in the bowl in front of him, "Don't just drink. Song Tang is not his real name. His surname is Tang, and his single name is 'Song'. He is from the capital."

"The surname is Tang..." Su Huai searched carefully. The big family in Shuo Jing whose surname is Tang, isn't that one of the three major families, the Tang family?

The Tang family was the first one to decline among the three major families. It was because the Tang family had an unfilial son, not to mention a broken sleeve who even hooked up with the young prince Yan Lin.

The Tang family naturally wanted to stop it, not only because the child of the Tang family was not humane, but also because the other party was a prince and not someone they could mess with, so they locked him up at home and were not allowed to go out.

Unexpectedly, the child of the Tang family was also a violent person, and ran out after his leg was broken.

As a result, he was not far away from the mansion, and before he saw his lover, he was arrested by the people sent by Emperor Cheng.

Although Emperor Cheng was not close to his younger brother Yan Lin, but after all, it was related to the face of the royal family, how could he sit idly by and immediately exile him to Gongxi for an unfounded charge.

Later, the Tang family also declined.

Of course, these things happened more than ten years ago, and he didn't know the details.

Listening to Wang Xiao now, he doubts very much that the unfilial son who brought disaster to the Tang family was Song Tang.

Wang Xiao continued: "The mastermind of the rebellion in the sixteen cities of Fengdan was King Yu Yanlin. He and Yan Xiangnan were in the same group. The purpose of creating the rebellion was to transfer Yan Chen away from Shuojing, and then take advantage of Emperor Cheng's critical illness to force the palace to seize the throne."

Su Huai gritted his teeth unconsciously and continued to listen.

"With Yan Chen's own power and the people in his hands, confronting Yan Xiangnan head-on is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, and the end result is nothing more than a victim." Wang Xiao said, "Song and Tang proposed to let him down Yan Xiangnan. Nan, of course, without showing some sincerity, no one will easily trust a defector at this critical moment, so..."

"So he killed three thousand soldiers to show his sincerity?" Su Huai took over the conversation and said.

"Yes." Wang smiled and nodded.

Su Huai was silent for a moment, looked down at the steaming wine in the glass in front of him, and said in a low voice, "Impossible, he wouldn't do such a thing."

Based on his understanding of Yan Chen, even if he knew that this was a way to put him to death and survive, Yan Chen would not do it. He would rather fight the enemy to pieces than do such a thing.

Wang Xiao sighed and shook his head again, and said with a smile: "That's right, he refused directly at first, until Mr. Song gave a reason."

"What reason?" He wanted to know what reason could make Yan Chen make such a decision against his principles.

Wang smiled and looked at him: "Mr. Song said...you are still in Yan Xiangnan's hands, and you are still staying in that dark prison."

"..." Su Huai opened his mouth but couldn't speak. The oppressed breath in his chest dissipated with his words, but something heavier was pressed on him, making him breathless.

"Let me put it this way, the main reason why he took refuge in Yan Xiangnan is because of you, and it's just by the way to assist His Highness the Seventh Highness." Wang Xiao concluded.

Su Huai was silent for a long time, and suddenly smiled wryly: "I can't bear this..."

"The three thousand soldiers who died...all voluntarily." When Wang Xiao said this, he was very dignified, "Mr. Song analyzed the pros and cons to them, and they voluntarily ordered Yan Chen to kill them in the city." To help Yan Chen show his sincerity in front of Yan Xiangnan. And Mr. Song..."

Wang Xiao paused: "Mr. Song found that Yu Wang seemed to have old feelings for him, so he volunteered to blow the pillow wind."

Su Huai was dumbfounded.

"It's actually very dangerous to put the dead to live later, because this "dead" may really be the "dead". Maybe the death of three thousand soldiers, and the pillow wind in the Song and Tang Dynasties are not enough to make Yan Xiangnan believe in Yan Chen. In that case, we all have to die together." Wang laughed and said, "But the final result is still good. Although Yan Xiangnan doesn't trust Yan Chen, he is thirsty for talent, and what's more, what he lacks under his command is someone who can lead the army to fight. , although the current situation is difficult, we haven't reached the end of the mountain after all."

Wang Xiao was a little emotional, and raised his hand to touch his face: "Compared with the three thousand soldiers who gave up their lives, I just ruined a face and a voice, which is nothing at all."

"I like everything about you." Shuangshuang at the side answered.

Wang Xiao reached out and pinched her face: "I know."

Su Huai was still immersed in these shockingly indigestible truths, unable to recover for a long time, a child's crying suddenly burst into his ears.

"What's wrong?" He looked up blankly.

Chen Yin had already stood up: "The child is awake, I'll take him out to meet uncle."

Only then did Su Huai remember that Chen Yin gave birth to a child for Su Ting.

That's great, their Su family is still alive. Thinking of this, he thought of his younger brother Su Qi who he hated so much back then, and he didn't know where he was born now, whether he was alive or dead.

While thinking wildly, Chen Yin had already come out with the child in his arms. The child looked less than one and a half years old, whimpering and crying in Chen Yin's arms, probably falling asleep!

"Brother hug?" Chen Yin walked to his side and asked.

Su Huai brought Su Keke a lot of experience. He was able to handle the matter of holding the child with ease. He took the child and shook it gently in his arms, while shaking and patting, humming an unknown tune. After a while the child fell asleep peacefully again.

Seeing this, Shuangshuang teased and said, "When I have a child in the future, Mr. Su will help coax me too!"

"Fuck you, I'm not a nanny." Su Huai also laughed.

On the way back, Wang Xiao looked much more relaxed: "I'm telling you the truth about it, so don't let Yan Chen know."

Su Huai frowned: "He didn't intend to tell me the truth?"

"Yeah, he said that with your temperament that can't hide what's on your mind, I'm afraid you won't be able to hide your friendship for him if you know the truth." Wang Xiao teased.

"Fuck, you're so fucking shameless." Su Huai then cursed with a smile.

"Think about it, based on your temperament, if you know Yan Chen's rebellion, you will definitely be jealous, ignore him, and even find a chance to stab him twice to vent your anger. Now that you know the truth, if you treat him differently Doesn't the big turn lead to suspicion?" Wang laughed and said, "So Yan Chen didn't intend to tell you the truth."

"Then why do you still tell me so much? Yan Chen really doesn't know people clearly." Su Huai asked back.

Wang Xiao was so choked that he couldn't speak, and it took him a long time to say: "Okay, now I'm not human inside and out!"
