Li Heng granted Shi Siming the land of three states. The three states are all around Chang'an City. It seems normal to outsiders. Shi Siming was once a rebel. After returning to the imperial court, the land cannot be too far away from the capital. Otherwise, he will be bored one day and drink.

Once the energy rises, idleness is idleness, so why not do it again?

If there was another rebellion far away from Emperor Tiangao, the imperial court would mobilize troops to put down the rebellion, and it would be useless for Li Heng to cry his throat out. The more he cried, the more excited Shi Siming became.

But this is just an outsider's point of view, and Feng Yu is obviously not an outsider.

Feng Yu is already an experienced player in this game. Not only has he played it deeply, he is now even qualified to decide the rules of the game.

So when Feng Yu saw the land of three states that Li Heng promised to Shi Siming, the first thought in his mind was that something was wrong.

"Did the Emperor of the Southern Dynasty put forward any other conditions?" Feng Yu asked.

Shi Siming said slowly: "There are conditions. The emperor of the Southern Dynasty has stated that I can support my troops, but the troops must be within the territory of the three states and cannot leave the country. If the soldiers and horses leave the territory of the three states, it will be regarded as treason. In addition, except for the three states,

In addition, all the cities in the north were handed over and placed under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and the governors of the three towns were appointed to others."

Feng Yu was extremely smart, and after a moment's thought, he understood the intention of Li Heng's conditions. After his eyes flashed, he smiled and said to Shi Siming: "The general once told the official that after we return to the Southern Dynasty, the emperor will definitely rely on us.

Now it seems that what the general expected is true, and the emperor of the Southern Dynasty really wants something from us."

Shi Siming laughed: "Did you see it?"

Feng Yu smiled and said: "The fiefdom of the three states is around Chang'an City. The generals are allowed to gather troops but are not allowed to leave the country. Haha, this is obviously to let our soldiers and horses form a check on Gu Qing's Anxi Army, so that Gu Qing will not be able to stay in Chang'an."

You dare to act rashly against the emperor. The emperor regards the general as a pawn. Why doesn't the general take this opportunity to raise the price and ask for more? You can't just give whatever the emperor says, right?"

Shi Siming smiled and said: "Brother Feng Xian has always been Shi's confidant. Yes, if you want my troops to restrain Gu Qing, then you have to come up with a price that I like and give away a few cities. What's the point of being named a vassal king?

If I want to be a vassal king, I can write an imperial edict myself, and if you want me to sacrifice my life, I will have to shed some blood."

"I wonder what the general wants..."

Shi Siming lowered his face and said slowly: "I want ten cities in the east of the river to be held forever for generations. The soldiers and horses under my command will obey the imperial court's orders but not the propaganda. I, Shi Siming, and my descendants will never come to Chang'an to pay tribute, and the taxes in the east of the river will never be paid to the imperial court.

If I expand my army, the emperor will not interfere..."

Feng Yu stared blankly after hearing this. These conditions were worse than saying directly to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, "You have no control over me."

Feng Yu said nonchalantly: "I'm afraid these conditions, General..."

Shi Siming smiled and said: "You think my conditions are too harsh?"

Feng Yu said hurriedly: "Of course I hope that the conditions for the general are as good as possible. I can also benefit from following the general... But can the emperor of the Southern Dynasty agree to such harsh conditions?"

Shi Siming laughed and said: "Of course he doesn't want to agree. These conditions of mine are clearly to cut off a piece of land from the Tang Dynasty. This piece of land will no longer be named Li, but changed to Shi. But I think he will bite it into pieces."

Ya, I have to agree in the end."

"Because of Gu Qing?"

"Yes, if he doesn't agree to my conditions, there will be no one to check and balance the Anxi Army. At that time, not to mention the ten cities east of Hedong, even the entire land and cities of the Southern Dynasties will have to change their surnames. Not only will he not be able to become the emperor, but even whether he can survive will depend on God's will.

, comparing the two sides, if you were the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, would you agree to my conditions?"

Feng Yu thought for a while and said calmly: "If I were him, I would certainly agree, but I would never sincerely do so. If one day I gather the strength to get rid of Gu Qing and the Anxi Army, the next step will be to attack the general."

Shi Siming hummed and said: "I also think he will have this idea, but it doesn't matter, I am not a vegetarian. I will maintain the balance between the emperor, Gu Qing and me for a long time. While maintaining it, I will expand the army and train troops, and then

Slowly wait for the fight between the emperor and Gu Qing, and when both sides are injured, I will reap the benefits, haha, what I want is not limited to ten cities, I want to conquer the world!"

Feng Yu was shocked all over, as if he was shocked by Shi Siming's fierce and domineering spirit. He bowed to Shi Siming devoutly and said in a respectful tone: "It is an honor for me to serve the general.

The most correct thing that Yu has done in this life is to get acquainted with the general, and I sincerely wish the general to rule the world and conquer the world."

Shi Siming looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, seeming to be immersed in the dream of ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor and commanding the country.

Feng Yu had an expression of admiration, but a trace of sarcasm flashed in his eyes.

The vulgar martial artist really underestimates the heroes of the world and thinks that everyone else is a fool because of his clever calculation. If nothing else, do you know that Gu Qing planted my chess beside you a long time ago?

And Gu Qing and the Anxi Army, are they so easy for you to plot? Since you occupied Guanzhong, how many times have you been severely beaten by the Anxi Army? Why did you flee back to Hebei in despair and forget about it?

After laughing wildly, Shi Siming patted Feng Yu on the shoulder and said: "Brother Feng Xian is a close friend of Shi's, and his talent is one of the best in the world. These days, I have seen that you are very methodical in handling all affairs of the government. The courtiers all praise my brother for his ability to serve the country."

Talent, if I have the time to prosper, I will not treat my virtuous brother badly. If I become the emperor, you will be the prime minister. I will not doubt you and I in our lives, there will be a beginning and an end."

Feng Yu burst into tears and said, "Feng Yu is willing to die for the general."

Then Feng Yu suddenly remembered something and said hesitantly: "Our emperor...how will the general arrange for him?"

"Are you talking about that dandy An Qingxu?" Shi Siming sneered: "Of course I can borrow his head and use it to claim credit from the Emperor of the Southern Dynasty. This will make it easier for me to negotiate terms. The benefits that the Emperor of the Southern Dynasty gives us are only enough for me.

, if An Qingxu comes to share it, my income will be too little, and this waste will be of little use alive, why not let me send him down to meet his short-lived father."

Even though he knew An Qingxu's fate, Feng Yu was still shaken by Shi Siming's cruel and ruthless words.

Shi Siming's gaze happened to catch it, he narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Brother Feng Xian, are you afraid?"

Feng Yuqiang laughed and said: "Haha, the subordinates share weal and woe with the general, how can they be afraid of the general?"

Shi Siming smiled and said: "If you are not afraid, why are you shaking?"

"The early winter is getting colder. Xiaguan is from the south. I didn't expect the winter in the north to be so cold. I didn't wear enough clothes when I went out."

Shi Siming looked at him with a smile: "In early winter, it is already bone-chilling in the north. Brother Feng Xian, please wear more clothes to avoid catching a cold."

Feng Yu squeezed out a smile and said, "Yes, General. I will add more clothes when I get back."

Seeing Feng Yu respectfully retiring, Shi Siming stared at his back and frowned gradually.

It is said that he has sent people to Yizhou to check Feng Yu's family background, and everything is fine. However, Shi Siming has always felt that something is wrong with Feng Yu recently. Shi Siming couldn't tell what was wrong. It was purely an intuition. He felt that something was wrong with Feng Yu.

It's not as simple as it seems.

After pondering for a moment, Shi Siming clapped his hands, and a ghostly figure appeared in front of him.

Shi Siming said coldly: "Arrange people to lurk in Feng Yu's house to monitor everything he says and does, and every move he makes."

The ghostly figure bowed towards Shi Siming and then quickly disappeared.

Feng Yu returned to his mansion.

The mansion was a gift from Shi Siming himself. It is located on the south side of the official street next to the Jinyang Palace. In terms of geographical location, apart from the palace where An Qingxu lived and Shi Siming's General's Palace, Feng Yu's mansion was ranked the third most important.

No matter what the purpose was, at least Shi Siming was willing to spend all his efforts to win over Feng Yu. It is said that the house that Shi Siming presented to Feng Yu was renovated under his orders and he personally supervised the work several times. On the day Feng Yu moved in, Shi Siming gave many calligraphy, paintings and

He also gave him his favorite piece of beautiful tiger skin.

Whether you are an orthodox person or a rebel, being able to reach this position requires some ability that others do not have. No one's success is a fluke.

Feng Yu hurriedly returned to the backyard. Li Jianjiu was sitting under the eaves of the corridor. Seeing that Feng Yu looked wrong, Li Jianjiu felt nervous and hurriedly went up to meet him.

"What's wrong?"

Feng Yu smiled bitterly and said: "When I met Shi Siming today, there was something wrong with his expression, which seemed to arouse his suspicion."

Li Jianjiu said in confusion: "It's just an expression, there's no need to be so uneasy, right?"

Feng Yu looked at her seriously and said: "We are in the enemy's camp. Every word and every move must be careful. No mistakes can be allowed. You may not know the danger of being in front of the enemy. Shi Siming does not take it lightly."

"Senior, he is not a hero, but he has some real abilities. A wrong expression may make him suspicious."

Li Jianjiu gently stroked his face and said: "Whether he is suspicious or not, no matter how messed up you are, Mr. Gu has already sent someone to spread the word. In fact, the fact that you have reached this point has exceeded Mr. Gu's expectations.

, he hopes you will drop everything and return to Chang'an as soon as possible, there is no need to continue to lurk."

Feng Yu shook his head: "It's necessary. The rebels will always be a threat to Brother Gu. Today I learned that the emperor wants to recruit Shi Siming to surrender and uses Shi Siming's troops to contain Brother Gu. This is a scourge that we can't get rid of.

He, Brother Gu and the Anxi Army will always be constrained."

Li Jianjiu said in surprise: "You want to get rid of Shi Siming? You... don't be stupid. You don't need to do these things. You are just a scholar. You don't understand the dangers of using knives and guns..."

Feng Yu smiled: "I am a scholar, and I understand the principle of sacrificing one's life for righteousness. I have seen countless people die under the swords of the rebels, and I have also seen countless refugees homeless, frozen to death and starved to death on the road.

I can only watch the rebels killing people, but I can't do anything. These people who have taken power only have power and desire in their eyes, and never care about the life and death of the people..."

"When we were in Shiqiao Village, Brother Gu told us that everyone in the world has both good and evil sides. Some people live a lifetime and are said to be good people after their death. In fact, they just restrained the 'evil' in their hearts rationally.

, it is superficial to evaluate anyone by 'good or bad'..."

Feng Yu's face suddenly became ferocious, his eyes filled with helplessness and anger.

"I have always believed Brother Gu's words, but in this sentence, I suddenly found that he was wrong. There may not be absolutely good people in the world, but there must be outright bad people, so bad that there is nothing worthy of forgiveness.

Not at all. They are born to do evil and deserve to die. If no one deals with them, they will always be free to do evil. Then, who else will believe in the saying 'evil begets evil'?"

Feng Yu's expression was a little excited. This abnormal emotion was because he had suppressed it in his heart for too long.

Unknowingly, he lurked in the enemy camp for three years. During these three years, the rebels attacked the city, plundered the land, and slaughtered the people. Feng Yu saw all the evil things they had done. The more and longer he watched, the more Feng Yu The more painful it is, the pain cannot be expressed on the face.

If there is a critical point between mental normalcy and collapse, Feng Yu has almost reached this critical point now. His mentality is between calmness and madness, with one thought of heaven and one thought of hell.

A pair of slender hands grabbed his arm tightly. Li Jianjiu looked at him in panic, grabbing his hand with extra force, as if he would disappear from the world the next moment.

"Feng Yu, we don't have to do anything. How about we leave here? Mr. Gu is waiting for you to go back. His Anxi army is invincible in the world. The soldiers can defeat them with dignity on the battlefield. We don't have to do anything. Is it okay to leave?”

Feng Yu laughed weirdly, the laughter was harsh and even crazy: "Why leave? These beasts deserve to die, Shi Siming deserves to die even more. I don't know what Brother Gu's ambitions are, and I don't know what he wants to do in the end. I just I know that Shi Siming is Brother Gu's enemy. This enemy is not very smart or powerful, but he is still Brother Gu's enemy. I must stay here and wait for the opportunity to kill him."

"Ajiu, the world cannot continue to be in chaos. The people hope to live a peaceful life. Brother Gu is doing his best to suppress the rebellion. What I can do is help him at the critical moment."

Li Jianjiu's eyes turned red and he nodded silently.

Feng Yu took a deep breath and said: "Ajiu, send a message to Brother Gu and tell him that the emperor surrendered Shi Siming and Xu Chang'an, and allowed them to support their troops. The emperor's purpose is obvious, to contain Anxi. Army, please Brother Gu to make a decision quickly. Once a containment situation is formed, it will be extremely detrimental to Brother Gu and the Anxi Army. It is best to break the situation before it is achieved."

Li Jianjiu silently wrote down his words.

Feng Yu pondered for a moment and then said: "Shi Siming may not be suspicious of me, but I can't take any chances. From tomorrow onwards, Ah Jiu, you will leave the mansion and find a remote place to hide in Jinyang City. If Shi Siming is suspicious, , maybe they will set up spies in the mansion, you are very dangerous in the mansion."

Li Jianjiu suddenly raised his head and said firmly: "I won't leave."

Feng Yu sighed: "Ajiu, this is not the time for children to love each other..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Jianjiu said more firmly: "I won't leave, Feng Yu. You are not the only hero in the world. Don't underestimate me."

Feng Yu smiled bitterly: "I didn't underestimate you."
