Bao Yunyong's face was black: "Fart, let go!"
Yan Sikong replied calmly: "After entering the city, I heard a lot of gossip and rumors, saying that left and right are plotting against each other. I would rather submit to King Liang. Anyway, King Liang is of the orthodox royal blood, and I don't want to be a bandit with the general."
Bao Yunyong yelled violently, and pointed at Yan Sikong with his trembling fingers: "Come here, drag him down, give me..."
"My lord." Yang Weiqi said in a deep voice, "He is in our hands, if he is not afraid of running away, you might as well listen to him."
"General, have you ever thought about why there are such rumors in the city?"
Yang Weiqi said coldly, "What do you want to say?"
Yan Sikong looked around, probably half of the generals in the house were from Kuizhou's old troops, perhaps all of them were the gang of thieves who participated in the plot to defend Kuizhou and open the city to meet the enemy, even so, they and Bao Yun Yong will not be single-minded and just follow the wind. He said loudly: "The spies of the King of Liang have already infiltrated the city. When the time is right, they will lead the old Kuizhou troops to rebel against the King of Liang. The rest of the people will be used as bait to hold the Cheng army here. I am afraid that you and I will die. At the time of confrontation, King Liang will bring his army down to Jinling!"
As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar in the house. What Yan Sikong said, it's not that others have guessed it before, but no one dared to say it so bluntly and firmly. After all, King Liang had said that he would form an alliance with Bao Yunyong to achieve a great cause together. When the two parties can advance and retreat together, each other must be full of suspicion towards each other. Any spark may be out of control. In such a delicate and tense period, who dares to talk nonsense
But Yan Sikong just said it in front of everyone, and made such a vow, as if it was true.
Bao Yunyong gritted his teeth and said, "Don't talk nonsense, I have a covenant with King Liang."
"Did the King of Liang ever send one baht, one tael, one soldier and one armor to the general? Liang Wang knew that Kuizhou would be besieged sooner or later, but he did not bring supplies from the wealthy Jingzhou to help. It’s a big move to go south, the general shouldn’t take this covenant covenant too seriously.”
Bao Yunyong's face was blue and white, and he was very lively. When King Liang was recruiting troops, how could he spare any energy to help Bao Yunyong? These words must have hit Bao Yunyong's sore spot.
Yang Weiqi snorted coldly and said: "Your remarks seem to be reasonable, but in fact, your words are not stable, and you are trying your best to provoke things. It can be said that your intentions are sinister. This is clearly your plan to divide the troops!"
"Yes, you came all the way to provoke the alliance between me and King Liang, you just want to tear us apart and fight, you, you thief!" Bao Yunyong was already full of murderous intentions towards Yan Sikong.
The atmosphere in the room was so cold that the hairs stood on end. Feng Ye tightly held the hilt of the sword, half of his face covered by the helmet concealed a cold killing intent.
It is true that no one can stop everything with one blow, but Feng Ye knows that he can separate Bao Yunyong's body and family before he finishes his next sentence. If the situation forces him to do so, he can only kill Bao Yunyong, as long as Bao Yunyong dies On the contrary, they have great vitality.
There was a smile on the corner of Yan Sikong's mouth, and it seemed to have a trace of pity: "The general is so nervous, is he afraid that the matter will be hit by me?"
"Nonsense!"
"The king of Liang is also a descendant of the Chen family. Their brothers are fighting against the wall, which is a royal family affair. The general is an outsider after all. If the king of Liang really usurps the throne, the first person to kill is the person who rebelled. For such a simple reason, the general will still deceive himself. By when?"
The blue veins on Bao Yunyong's forehead began to agitate.
"The next note is just to test that there are spies from the King of Liang mixed in the old Kuizhou Ministry. I want to prove it to the general. Since the general has captured the person, he will know at the first trial."
Bao Yunyong and Yang Weiqi looked at each other, an elusive expression surged in the meeting of eyes. Through that note, they indeed arrested some people by following the clues, but every tone was very tight, and nothing could be found out, which made it impossible for people to judge whether what Yan Sikong said was true or false.
Yan Sikong naturally knew that they would not be able to interrogate them, but his goal had already been achieved. Not only did Bao Yunyong and Liang Wang create a quarrel, but he also passed on the information that Bao Yunyong might kill them all at any time to the former Kuizhou Ministry where everyone was in danger. Both Bao Yunyong and the former Kuizhou troops were on board, but Yang Weiqi was the only one who was difficult to deal with. Yan Sikong said again: "General, the imperial court has sent two envoys to negotiate peace with the general. Isn't the intention clear enough? My emperor has the capacity to accept the sea, and he is willing to ignore the general's past, but he will never do it to the king of Liang. There is no possibility of tolerance, as long as the general obeys the consolation and joins me in the fight against the king of Liang, the general will surely make great achievements."
Bao Yunyong was not as enraged as before, but he glanced at Yang Weiqi, maybe it was difficult to pay attention.
Yan Sikong also looked at Yang Weiqi, he knew that this man was the key to whether they could get out of here alive today, he bet on Yang Weiqi's ambition, that Yang Weiqi would sell Bao Yunyong and the entire rebel army to the court for the sake of prosperity and wealth.
Yang Weiqi pondered for a moment: "We will definitely investigate the affair between the former Kuizhou Ministry and the King of Liang. As for the two of you..."
Yan Sikong interrupted him: "The two of us are going back today."
Bao Yunyong stared straight at his eyes: "Sneaking around under my nose, you actually think you can leave safely?"
"Is the general going to kill us?"
Bao Yunyong was speechless for a while.
"We still want to lock us up?" Yan Sikong held his head high, his expression extremely calm, "I will tell you the truth, General, if the two of us return without success, General Zhao and Di Jiang's army will join forces to besiege the city. Of course, General will kill us." , is the same."
Bao Yunyong clenched his fists.
"The general spared our lives. If he changes his mind in the future, there is still room for change. What do you think?" Yan Sikong seemed to be asking Bao Yunyong, but his eyes were on Yang Weiqi.
Yang Weiqi frowned.
"When the city is besieged in the future, the general guesses, will King Liang come to help?"
Bao Yunyong remained silent.
Yan Sikong laughed three times suddenly, his voice was a bit bleak: "Your Majesty, I admire the courage and courage of the general, and I volunteered to persuade you to make peace. But the general is obsessed with his obsession, and instead of going on the Yangguan Avenue, he has to cross the single-plank bridge. It seems that I will return in vain. I just feel sorry for the fellow villagers who followed you... "
Bao Yunyong said angrily: "At the beginning, I also complied with the consolation and became an official of Dasheng, but I changed my mind within a few months, and asked us to continue to starve, either to die or to die, at least to die. Now, we don't have to go hungry!"
"What the imperial court allocates is vain tax money. The general eats and takes innocent people like you. Which one is right? Will the general rely on plundering for a lifetime? When the Sheng army merges and besieges the city, Kuizhou's food and grass How long will it be enough for you? One year? Half a year? March?" Yan Sikong's words were sharp, and his sentences were sharp, "Since the moment the general entered Kuizhou, it has been a bird in a cage. The general has only two ways out, or Follow the rebellion of King Liang, or submit to the court, and King Liang himself will not be able to protect himself, but the general has Jinkou promise from the current emperor, which way dies and which way lives, it is placed in front of you."
In addition to Bao Yunyong and Yang Weiqi, there were more than a dozen officers and generals in the room, and their expressions were not quite right at this moment.
Yan Sikong took a few steps back, bowed deeply towards the seat of honor, and said in a deep voice: "Think twice, general, I am taking my leave."
"You..." Bao Yunyong looked at Yan Sikong and then at Yang Weiqi, obviously he couldn't make up his mind whether to let Yan Sikong go like this.
Yang Weiqi shook his head towards Bao Yunyong, and then stood up, "Since Master Yan wants to leave, our army doesn't want to be ridiculed by the world as a reckless bandit, so we won't stop it."
"Thank you sir."
Yang Weiqi thought for a while: "I'll see you off."
"You are very polite, sir."
—
Yang Weiqi sent Yan Sikong and Feng Ye to the pier, the boatman has been waiting for them here for five days.
Yan Sikong cupped his hands deeply towards Yang Weiqi, and said: "Sir, can I say a few words in private?"
Yang Weiqi waved his hand and pushed back the left and right guards.
Yan Sikong said in a low voice: "The words I said in the hall today are all for the sir, the master understands my painstaking efforts."
Yang Weiqi's face remained unchanged: "Master Yan had an affair with the former Kuizhou Ministry. It's hard to say who is interested in this matter. I will make a decision after I thoroughly investigate."
Yan Sikong lightly grabbed Yang Weiqi's wrist, and said earnestly, "Sir, you are a wise man. The sky is high and the sea is wide enough for birds to fly. Don't ruin yourself in a mere lotus pond."
The muscles on Yang Weiqi's face twitched under the flesh, as if he was holding back a strong emotion.
Yan Sikong and Feng Ye got on the boat, solemnly and respectfully bowed their hands towards Yang Weiqi, the two looked at each other for a long time, Yan Sikong returned to the cabin, immediately changed his face, and urged the boatman: "Hurry up, get out of here as soon as possible."
Feng Ye took off his hat and helmet and still put it aside, but seeing that his hair was wet with sweat, he let out a long breath: "It's so dangerous, I'm ready to chop Bao Yunyong with a knife."
"So we have to leave quickly. When they recover, maybe they really want to chop off our sacrificial flag." Yan Sikong spread his palms, but saw that his palms were full of sweat, and his back was already wet with cold sweat , Just now there was a contest, which seemed to be a mediation of tongues, but in fact, murderous intentions were everywhere, and a difference of thought between Bao Yunyong and Yang Weiqi might kill them.
Feng Ye grabbed his hand, grabbed it hard, felt Yan Sikong's slight trembling, felt distressed and moved, his eyes were full of appreciation and pride: "Kong'er, you are doing well."
Yan Sikong looked towards Kuizhou City, which was getting farther and farther away: "I have tried my best, the next step is to look at Yang Weiqi."
"Even if Yang Weiqi doesn't turn his back on the water, the alliance between Bao Yunyong and King Liang will fall apart. These two people are not big and farsighted people, and they have no trust at all. After you mess up like this, they will definitely be suspicious of each other. "
"That's right." Yan Sikong showed a cold smile, "Just wait and see the good show."
Ge Zhong, you are waiting for me in Jingzhou. On the day the city is broken, I will go to your funeral!
