Self-cultivation of Male Supporting Role

Shi Yan thought for a while, and finally found a place in his distant memory: "Go to Xiaoyan Mountain near the General's Mansion."

That small mountain bag originally had no name. Before Shi Yan was born, there were ordinary barren mountains everywhere on the border, dry and bare.

In the year when Shi Yan was born, Feng Ziran sprinkled all kinds of wild flowers and grass seeds on it with his own hands, and named it Xiaoyan Mountain. Feng Ziran hopes that the stubborn wild flowers and weeds can take root and sprout there.

In the spring of the year when Shi Yan was born, the mountains were full of unknown wildflowers, and the flowers were colorful, which was a rare sight on this side of the border. The breeze was blowing, and wild flowers fluttered in the wind. When I was a child, Shi Yan was always carried by Cheng Liyu to play there.

Shi Yan was mischievous, lying on the ground to dig out the ant nest, Cheng Liyu turned around, and saw that Shi Yan provoked the ants to climb all over the body, and it was so cloudy that it almost scared people to death.

In the short memory that Shi Yan received at the West Moon Camp, that was a very important place.

Shi Yan did find two new tombs standing side by side on Xiaoyan Mountain. The tombstones are very simple, with the words "Jinyuan's Tomb" on the left and "Yuwan's Tomb" on the right.

The monument in the lower left corner is "Wangfeng."

Whether it's the person who erected the tomb or the person lying in the graveyard, they don't even have a surname, which shows how careful they are.

The tomb bag was clean and free of any weeds. Some of the previous offerings have been dried, some are still fresh, and some can be seen to be dehydrated after a day or two of drying, and it can be seen that many people come here to worship.

Shi Yan was sure at a glance that this was the tombstone of his parents. Although he didn't know if "Jin Yuan" and "Yu Wan" were the words of Feng Ziran and Cheng Liyu's husband and wife, Shi Yan didn't do what he wanted to be able to appear in the tomb here. .

But unexpectedly, Shi Yan saw a middle-aged man in his thirties in front of the grave. His profile was angular, his face was dark, and he was dressed like a Confucian general. sad.

The other party turned his head when he heard the movement, and his eyes that were full of sadness suddenly widened in surprise.

The person called out their identities at first sight: "Ayan! He Wu! How did you guys appear here? What happened?"

Shi Yan was sure that there was no such person in his memory, but He Wu immediately opened the box he was carrying as a treasure and placed it in front of the tombstone. Without saying a word, he kowtowed a few times.

Yudai choked up: "General, madam, the young master has avenged you!"

The man's originally very solemn expression turned into shock the moment he saw the head: "Li Gui?!" The tone was both extremely shocked and deeply puzzled.

Shocked at the fact that he felt that he would not mistake the enemy's head, and wondered how Li Gui's head would appear here?

He immediately said in a serious tone: "He Wu, tell me, what happened?"

Shi Yan also understood the identity of this person - Wang Feng.

That is to say, Feng Shan and Feng Zishan, another secret head of the Feng family.

Come on, I originally wanted to do a good deed in a low-key manner, come quietly, go quietly, and write a letter by the way, asking He Wu to send the small gift he prepared to Feng Shan, in order to prevent the other party from knowing about him. After doing what I did, I kept talking about it for several years.

Take every precaution, is it okay to deliver it directly to your door?

He Wu knelt in front of the tomb and told Feng Shan what Shi Yan had done during this period. During this period, Shi Yan stood silently in front of the tombstone, with no sorrow or joy in his eyes. No one knew what he was thinking.

Feng Shan has been paying close attention to his nephew's every move, but unfortunately, he has completely lost sight of what Shi Yan was thinking. After listening to He Wu's remarks, Feng Shan was both worried and proud. I said it several times: "Jin Yuan, younger brother and sister, did you hear? Ah Yan came to see you, Ah Yan came to see you in person, it's so nice, so nice!

You can rest assured, Ah Yan has grown up, and you can finally go with peace of mind..."

Feng Shan choked up as he spoke, obviously thinking of sad things, but Shi Yan was a little expert at destroying the atmosphere, so he reminded him lightly: "Li Gui is dead, Qian Jiang's ability is not enough to convince the public in a short time, now you get First-hand information, a lot can be done.”

To put it bluntly, now is not the time to gossip.

Feng Shan didn't know this fact, but what he saw with his own eyes and heard with his own ears today was too unreal, which made him subconsciously and habitually want to talk to his brother a few more words.

Being taught a lesson by his eldest nephew, Feng Shan can also happily nod: "Ayan is right! Uncle will make arrangements first, you should go to live in the general's mansion first, then go back and tell Uncle the matter in detail! "

It is impossible to live, Shi Yan considers himself a monk, and does not easily contaminate the world. Therefore, He Wu placed Li Gui's head in front of the tomb of Feng Ziran and his wife, kowtowed three times to the tomb of the two, and turned to leave freely.

He Wu drove a carriage that was not much faster than an ox cart, swaying all the way to the capital.

The border, because of how much turmoil he has caused, is out of Shi Yan's consideration.

As if overnight, everyone knew that General Feng Ziran's son, the six-year-old boy, would go to the Xiyue camp alone, and he would bring Li Gui's head back to General Feng. Husband and wife get revenge.

Everyone thought it was incredible. Anyone who heard the news would immediately take it as a joke, but it didn’t matter whether the head of Li Gui appeared in the back of the General’s Mansion or the news released by Xiyue Kingdom. , have confirmed the reliability of this news.

There were countless people in Xiyue Kingdom who witnessed the scene when Shi Yan and a personal guard finally appeared in Li Gui's tent. The rumors became more and more outrageous. There is in heaven and nothing on earth.

For a while, the words "Feng Shiyan should be born when a child is born" became a mantra of people in the streets and alleys.

The news spread from the border at a very fast speed. When Shi Yan and He Wu were replenishing food in the next small town, they heard people's word of mouth, and the more they heard it, the more they felt funny: "If I hadn't been able to hold on to it, it would be funny if I didn't. If you hear too much touts, I'm afraid it will be gone."

He Wu continued to drive, his brows furrowed, and he said doubtfully, "Young Master, I can understand that our Xihua Kingdom is spreading the news, but what is the purpose of Xiyue Kingdom?"

Shi Yan ate chestnuts with his feet crossed, and said indifferently: "Firstly, to divert the attention of Xiyue Kingdom, and secondly, to justify their lack of protection. After all, the more powerful I am, the lesser their guilt may be."

The two of them have nothing to do with each other. They are in the territory of Xihua Kingdom, very leisurely, and it is incredible to be smooth and peaceful along the way.

The West Moon Camp is now in a mess, and everyone is fighting for Li Gui's death. No one wants to be responsible for it, but everyone wants to find someone responsible, and they want to gather Li Gui's remnants into their own hands as soon as possible, no one cares. Shi Yan, the real murderer who killed Li Gui.

In addition, the guards sent by Feng Shan to **** them along the way followed not far or near, and occasionally there were small thieves who did not have long eyes, and they were solved by the people sent by Feng Shan before they approached Shi Yan and the two.

Only then did He Wu feel that they were traveling in the mountains and waters.

There are still five days away from the capital, and He Wu suddenly remembered something: "Master, why do you have to stay in the small town in front of you for three more days? He Wu looked at the bareness there, and it's not as good as the small inkstone behind our general's mansion. Mountains are interesting!"

Shi Yan was lying in the carriage with his feet raised, reciting scriptures to pass the time, hearing the words indifferently: "Of course it's to... prepare gifts for His Royal Highness.

Well, the two-month period is almost here, I wonder how your uncle is doing recently? "

To put it simply, it is to delay the time, give the uncle, the emperor and the prince more time, let them give full play to their talents, and make his disappearance bigger and stronger.

At this time in Beijing, Cheng Lixue, the uncle who was remembered by Shi Yan, jumped like thunder, slapped down, and smashed a huanghuali table abruptly.

"What a good prince, even a six-year-old child is not spared!

I said that they were two Xiyue Kingdom spies, how could they be able to take A Yan out of the capital without a trace, coming and going without a trace, passing the border all the way, straight out of the border, like entering a realm of no one, like divine help, we The person caught up several times, and finally lost the person inexplicably!

It turns out that all this is the handwriting of the prince! What a prince! What kind of hatred does A Yan have with him? He wants to use a knife to kill people so viciously?

The Feng family was loyal to the country. All the old and young, even the old women and children died on the battlefield. Only A Yan was left alone. The little children were detained in the mountains and forced to be orphaned. It's already very cruel if you can't take a step.

This is the attitude of the prince to the loyal and good generals, which is simply ridiculous! "

On the first day that Shi Yan left Beijing, Cheng Lixue sent people to investigate Shi Yan's traces in various ways, and finally found the right direction. He was very annoyed when he saw that he was going to catch up with people several times, and was lost for no reason.

If only the people sent by his family were lost, he could still suspect that something was wrong with his own people, but the same was true for the emperor and the prince, which made him have bad guesses.

Therefore, the constant investigation in secret, after nearly two months of hard work, finally allowed him to find clues and set the target on the prince. The two spies, however, deliberately let the two spies reveal the true identity of Shi Yan to cover up their secretly sneaking into the Wanfo Temple.

Cheng Lixue was outraged.

Aunt Zhou Qingyan is usually not angry, but when she gets angry, the big men in the military camp are terrified. She is also distressed by what happened to Shi Yan, a well-behaved and sensible nephew, and she is also angry that the prince has no tolerance, and inexplicably goes to great lengths to treat a child. Under the narrow mind of the killer.

The two completely forgot that Shi Yan had told them very seriously before that he was going on a long trip.

But she was barely sensible, rubbed her brows and said, "I remember you said that the only time Ah Yan saw His Royal Highness the Prince was when the Prince went to Wanfo Temple to pay homage to the Buddha after his marriage and stopped by to visit. Our people also said that. , that time the prince left after less than a cup of tea in total?"

Seeing that Cheng Changqing began to listen to her words, Zhou Qingyan continued: "I asked all the people who we stayed on the mountain to take care of A Yan, and the prince left two people who nominally took care of A Yan.

What it means, I won't speculate any more, but our people said that the two people only showed up and disappeared after that. They haven't seen each other since then. Could it be related to the disappearance of the two people? "

Zhou Qingyan guessed that the Feng family should have arranged people around Shi Yan. Could it be that the two people did something unfavorable to Shi Yan, which was discovered by the Feng family and solved in advance?

Otherwise, it can't explain, well, why the two people disappeared so suddenly.

Cheng Changqing immediately asked people to inquire about it. This matter is not difficult to find out. The prince can honestly say that the person who wants to leave behind to take care of Shi Yan has a legitimate identity on the bright side.

On weekdays, everyone doesn't care. If you really want to investigate, within an hour, the result will appear on Cheng Lixue's desk.

Cheng Lixue tapped his fingers on the table with neither light nor heavy, with a contemplative look on his face: "Zhu Jingtian, the youngest son of Zhu Yongbo, seventeen years old, the prince's guard. Li regret, eighteen years old, the adopted son of Wu'an Gong, the prince's guard.

There is no problem on the surface. Those who can become the prince's guards are all with some background in the family, and they are still favored. Only the elders can find such a position. In the future, the prince will be in the position.

Where is the problem?

What if the disappearance of those two people was related to Yan? Does the prince have any evidence? If there is no evidence, killing A Yan for the sake of the two guards is too vicious. "

It was Zhou Qingyan, who suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked her husband with burning eyes, "You just said, how old are those two?"

Cheng Lixue: "Seventeen or eighteen years old."

"How does it look?"

"Pretty and handsome."

Zhou Qingyan clapped her hands: "General, don't we see this kind of thing rarely in the barracks? Between men and men... I heard that the prince and the princess have been close for half a year, and the relationship has not been on good terms. In recent months, the prince has even been very Don't share a room with a princess.

And the concubines of the East Palace have not given birth to a son or a daughter. You said, could it be that the crown prince was angry with the crown? "

Cheng Lixue choked: "But he is the prince after all, this is ridiculous!"

In fact, Cheng Lixue himself, as a straight man of steel, can't imagine a relationship between two men... But he couldn't think of any other reason for the prince to kill Shi Yan.

However, Zhou Qingyan was in the military camp in his early years. What happened?

He immediately said, "Looking through the history books, is there any emperor in the Han Dynasty who didn't play with a few young and beautiful men when he was young? But it didn't delay people getting married and having children!"

After speaking, he snorted coldly: "Our Highness is amazing. He can leave the Crown Princess in the cold for a long time for the sake of men, and he can also raise the butcher's knife and slash at A Yan's child for the sake of two men."

Cheng Lixue's eyes narrowed slightly: "We can find out about this matter, let someone guide you a little bit, and your Majesty will know sooner or later. Let's take a look at His Majesty's attitude before making a decision."

"By the way, the two-month period is just around the corner, and it's time for Ayan to come back. There are rumors everywhere in Beijing that Ayan entered the enemy camp alone and avenged his parents. I don't know what he will do when he hears it. What do you think!" Cheng Lixue's face was full of pride, and he still couldn't understand how Shi Yan did all this.

Shi Yan, on the other hand, never imagined that the plot he had arranged would be dragged into this by his aunt's brain circuit. Not only was he surprised, but he was afraid that the prince would vomit blood when he found out!

This was 108,000 miles away from the prince's original intention, but the prince was powerless to refute it.
