The Blood Crown

When Yuan Nanyu said that he was going to Pingliang with Yan Sikong, the soldiers were filled with righteous indignation and begged Yuan Nanyu on their knees, unwilling to leave.

Standing aside, Yan Sikong could feel that the knives were about to scrape him alive.

The soldiers were loyal to Yuan Nanyu and were willing to live and die together. Yuan Nanyu was also deeply moved, and at the same time felt more guilty and self-blame. Mountain.

After watching the soldiers leave, Yuan Nanyu served as Chen Yu's bodyguard and tied him up.

On the way down the mountain, Yuan Nanyu asked in a low voice, "How is the eldest brother?"

Mentioning this person, Yan Sikong couldn't hide his disgust: "You still care about his life?"

Yuan Nanyu smiled bitterly: "I heard that he was captured, what happened?"

"It's in the Pingliang Prison."

"He..." Yuan Nanyu hesitated for a long time, and finally this "he" also took the context.

Yan Sikong glanced at him: "He falsely transmitted military orders, led the soldiers to a crushing defeat, and even implicated you, so he should be dealt with according to the military law."

Yuan Nanyu was silent.

"If none of you are captured now, what are you going to do with him?" Yan Sikong stared at Yuan Nanyu closely.

Yuan Nanyu said in a low voice: "According to military law, he should be killed."

"Since you know it, then you can treat him as a dead man."

"Sikong." Yuan Nanyu gritted his teeth, "but he is the eldest brother after all, if you can save me, can you..."

"No." Yan Sikong said coldly, "Besides, I can't decide whether he lives or dies."

Yuan Nanyu looked at himself, he was already unable to protect himself, and knew that it would be useless to talk, so he sighed deeply and stopped talking.

After going down the mountain, Qu Jiao was leading the escorting soldiers waiting for them.

Seeing Yuan Nanyu, Qu Jiao deliberately got off his horse and said politely: "General Que, Que has admired General Que's name for a long time, and seeing him today, he is indeed very heroic."

"The defeated general, talking about He Yingwu, General Qu praised him." Yuan Nanyu said expressionlessly.

"I have wronged the general, His Royal Highness is still waiting for the general, please go on the road."

Qu Jiao imprisoned Yuan Nanyu into the prison cart, Yan Sikong also got on the horse, the two of them met each other, Yan Sikong nodded slightly towards him, giving him a comforting look.

Along the way, Yan Sikong was thinking about how to deal with Chen Kui and Shen Hexuan.Seeing Yuan Nanyu, most of them want to see the real face under the mask. If the truth is revealed, the two brothers are afraid that they will be doomed. Only by concealing their identities to the end can he take the opportunity Send Yuan Nanyu away.

Therefore, no matter what, they cannot be allowed to take off Yuan Nanyu's mask.

Within half a day, they returned to Pingliang. Under the watchful eyes of the soldiers and civilians in the city, Yuan Nanyu was imprisoned in a prison car, and passed through the city gates, streets and alleys. The crowds who came to watch were crowded on both sides of the road, discussing loudly Wearing that mysterious mask.It is conceivable that in a few days, the news that Fengye's top general, the masked general Que Wang, was captured by the King of Chu will spread throughout the world. This is a more serious blow to Fengye than losing Pingliang.

Qu Jiao personally escorted Yuan Nanyu to Chen Kui. It was getting late at this time, but Chen Kui, Shen Hexuan and several officers and generals were all waiting to see his true face.

Seeing Yuan Nanyu, Chen Yu's face was full of color. At this time, he was sitting in Pingliang, which once belonged to Feng Ye, with Feng Ye's most important generals tied in front of him, severely destroying Feng Ye's ambition, and growing his prestige. In the first confrontation with Feng Ye, he won a complete victory, which made him feel unsatisfied and unhappy.

Yan Sikong arched his hands: "Your Highness, I brought General Que here. General Que, I haven't seen His Royal Highness the King of Chu yet."

Yuan Nanyu said neither humble nor overbearing: "Que has met the King of Chu."

"Thank you sir, please sit down." After Chen Kui finished speaking to Yan Sikong, he turned to Que Wang and smiled: "Although the general is in a mess, he is still tall and handsome, and I was worried at first. Wearing a mask, how do I know if the person who came is really Que Wang, now that I see you, I feel much more at ease."

Yuan Nanyu stiffened his neck and did not speak.

Chen Kui didn't care, and waved his hand: "Untie the general."

The guard untied Yuan Nanyu's rope, and Yuan Nanyu shook his sore shoulder.

"However, it is rumored that no one has seen the true face of the general except Fengye. If the general really comes up with a trick, we will have no way of knowing. Therefore, please take off the mask, general, and let us see."

Yuan Nanyu said coldly: "If I wasn't Que Wang, His Highness would not be able to tell the difference even if he looked at my face."

"That's true, but I believe sir." Chen Kui glanced at Yan Sikong with a smile, "The general's mask is as famous as the general's strategy. If the king wants to see it, the general will not refuse."

Everyone in the room stared straight at Yuan Nanyu, their eyes full of curiosity.

Yuan Nanyu straightened his chest and remained motionless.

Yan Sikong didn't speak either.

Chen Kui narrowed his eyes slightly: "If the general doesn't want to, I won't be polite, come here."

Two guards walked over, one was going to support Yuan Nanyu, the other was going to take off the mask.

Yuan Nanyu suddenly got into trouble. He kicked one person away with one foot, clamped another person's neck with his hand, and pulled out his saber with his backhand. The movement was as fast as lightning. It's not that Que forgot.

The guards inside the room drew their swords in unison, and the guards outside the room rushed in as if facing a formidable enemy.

Yuan Nanyu pushed the guard away, and the blade pressed against his neck.

Chen Kui waved his hand, causing the guards to back down, pursing their lips, looking at Que Wang with great interest, as if playing with a ferocious beast in a cage, no matter how powerful the ferocious beast is, so what can it do.

Shen Hexuan said slowly: "Did the general forget that you still have three thousand prisoners in Pingliang?"

Yuan Nanyu said loudly: "Que was disfigured by an accident when he was young, and his face was ugly and terrifying. I am deeply ashamed of it, and I have been ashamed to show it to others all my life. If Your Highness insists on seeing it, Que, as a prisoner, cannot resist, but if he is subjected to this It's a shame and shame, and I can't live on, why don't I just wipe my neck, and His Highness can look at it as he wants, and hang my head on the top of the city for the world to look at."

Chen Kui laughed twice, his eyes were cold: "Okay, then you can just wipe it off."

Yuan Nanyu smiled coldly and clenched the hilt of his sword.

Chen Yu looked deeply at Yuan Nanyu, "The general's proposal is very good, so I took off your mask, hung your 'ugly and terrifying' face on the top of the city, and announced it to the world, presumably the traitor Fengye knew about it. I'm going to be so angry that my seven orifices will smoke."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Yuan Nanyu held the sword and was about to strike.

"Wait a minute." Yan Sikong said, "If he just died like this, wouldn't we let those seven thousand soldiers go for nothing?"

Shen Hexuan squinted at Yan Sikong.

Chen Kui raised his eyebrows: "As long as you can catch this person, let him go. After all, no matter how many soldiers and horses there are, they can't compare to this one, which makes Feng Ye's heart ache." He smiled and glanced at Yan Sikong "Of course, Mr. Feng Ye is more worried." Thinking of this, he let out a joyful laugh, "The person Feng Ye cares about the most is now in my hands. I haven't confronted him yet, but he We've already lost half of it."

"What Your Highness said is true, so..." Yan Sikong glanced at Yuan Nanyu, "Why make things difficult for him, saving his life is of great use, after all Fengxiang, Qingyang and Taiyuan are still in Feng Ye's hands , it would be a pity if this person died like this."

Chen Kui smiled lightly and nodded: "I heard that General Que has a reputation for loyalty, I'm afraid he can't be easily seduced by glory and wealth, but the general is so important to Feng Ye, Feng Ye is willing to exchange Ping Liang for his husband, would he take Feng Xiang or Can Qingyang replace you?"

"Wolf King is definitely not a fool, and Que is not worth a city. Your Highness thinks highly of me." Yuan Nanyu said calmly, "Since I came to Pingliang, I have already put life and death aside. Your Highness don't waste it on me." It's time."

"Whether it's a waste of time or not is up to you to decide at this time." Chen Yu pointed to Yuan Nanyu, "Your mask is your face, and I will save this face for you first." He called, "Come on People, detain this traitor and wait for him to be dealt with."

After Yuan Nanyu was escorted away, Chen Kui also waved back, leaving only Yan Sikong and Shen Hexuan behind.

Chen Kui was in a very good mood, took a sip of tea leisurely, and asked unhurriedly: "The two gentlemen think this Que Wang, how to use it best?"

Shen Hexuan said: "Does Your Highness really plan to trade him for the city?"

"It's not impossible."

"I see something wrong." Yan Sikong said.

"Oh?"

"It would be a pity if we exchanged him for Fengxiang. We can defeat Fengxiang by ourselves. With Pingliang, Fengxiang is worthless. If we exchange him for Qingyang, Qingyang is so important. Losing Qingyang is equivalent to cutting off It's impossible for Feng Ye to hand over the entire food road in the southeast, so this person shouldn't use it like this, and it's not easy to use like this."

Chen Kui nodded: "Sir, what he said is reasonable, so what should we do? I'm afraid this man will not accept soft and hard words, and it is not easy to pry out even a little bit of military intelligence from him."

Shen Hexuan said: "His Royal Highness, why don't you ask the minister to meet him for a while, the left and right people are in our hands for a day, and Feng Ye will be in trouble for a day, this person must be available."

"Alright."

Yan Sikong glanced at Shen Hexuan from the air, feeling faintly worried in his heart. Shen Hexuan was a civil servant, and he didn't like to use torture to extract a confession easily. He only hoped that Yuan Nanyu wouldn't provoke him easily, at least not suffer immediate losses.

"That's right." Chen Kui smiled, "How do you plan to deal with Yuan Shaoxu?"

Yan Sikong thought for a while: "I will personally interrogate him."
