Li Heng granted Shi Siming the land of the three prefectures. All of them are around Chang'an City. It seems normal for outsiders to see that Shi Siming was a rebel before. After surrendering to the court, the fiefdom could not be too far from the capital. Otherwise, one day I would be bored and I would be drunk and I would be idle. It would be better to turn it back again.

If the emperor rebelled again in a place far away from the sky, the imperial court would mobilize soldiers and generals to suppress the rebellion, and it would be useless for Li Heng to cry to his throat. The more he cried, the more excited Shi Siming became.

But this is just the view of outsiders, and Feng Yu is obviously not an outsider.

Feng Yu is already a veteran player in this game. Not only did he play it deeply, he is now even qualified to decide the rules of the game.

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

"Has the emperor of the Southern Dynasty put forward other conditions?" Feng Yu asked.

Shi Siming said slowly: "If you have the conditions, the emperor of the Southern Dynasty said that I could allow me to support my troops, but the troops I owned must be within the fiefdoms of the three states and cannot leave the country. If the troops leave the three states, they will be regarded as rebellion. In addition, except for the three states, all cities in the north will be handed over and under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and the governor of the three towns will be appointed to others."

Feng Yu was extremely smart. After a moment of thinking, he knew Li Heng's intentions for these conditions. After his eyes flashed, he smiled and said to Shi Siming: "The General had told his subordinates that after we surrender to the Southern Dynasties, the emperor would definitely rely on us. Now it seems that the General was not bad as expected. The Emperor of the Southern Dynasties really had a request for us."

Shi Siming laughed: "Did you see it?"

Feng Yu smiled and said, "The fiefs of the three states are around Chang'an City. The general is allowed to support troops but not leave the country. Haha, this clearly requires our troops to restrain Gu Qing's Anxi Army, so that Gu Qing would not dare to act rashly in Chang'an. The emperor regards the general as a pawn. Why don't the general take this opportunity to raise the price and ask for more? You can't give whatever the emperor says, right?"

Shi Siming smiled and said, "Brother Feng has always been Shi's confidant. Yes, if I want my troops to restrain Gu Qing, I have to take out the price I like, give me a few cities, and give me a title of a vassal king? If I want to be a vassal king, I can write an imperial edict myself. If I want to make me work hard, I will have to pay some blood."

"I don't know what the general wants..."

Shi Siming lowered his face and said slowly: "I want ten cities in Hedong, for generations of eternal towns. My soldiers and horses under my command will not listen to the imperial court. My Shi Siming and his descendants will never come to Chang'an to congratulate you. Hedong taxes will never be paid to the court. If I expand my troops, the emperor will not interfere..."

Feng Yu was so surprised that these conditions would be better to say to the Emperor of Tang Dynasty, "You don't care about me."

Feng Yu said: "The general's conditions may be..."

Shi Siming smiled and said, "I think my conditions are too harsh?"

Feng Yu hurriedly said, "Of course, I hope that the general's conditions will be better. The subordinates can also benefit from the general's benefits... 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. My conditions are clearly to cut off a piece of it from the territory of the Tang Kingdom. This piece will no longer be named Li, but will change its surname to Shi. But I think even if he bit his teeth, he will have to agree in the end."

"Because of Gu Qing?"

"Yes, I don't agree to my conditions, and no one can check and balance the Anxi Army. At that time, let alone the ten cities in Hedong, even if the entire territory and city of the Southern Dynasty had to change their surnames, not only would he be able to do this, but he would not even be able to survive. Compared with the two sides, would you agree to my conditions if you were the Southern Dynasty emperor?"

Feng Yu thought for a while and said frankly: "If I were him, I would naturally agree, but it was definitely not true. If one day I accumulate strength to get rid of Gu Qing and Anxi's army, the next step will be to attack the general."

Shi Siming nodded and said, "I also think he has this idea, but it's okay. I'm not a vegetarian. Emperor, Gu Qing and me, I will maintain the balance between the three for a long time. While maintaining it, expanding the army and training troops. Then slowly wait for the battle between the emperor and Gu Qing. When both sides suffer losses, I will reap the benefits of the fisherman. Haha, what I want is more than ten cities, I want to win the world!"

Feng Yu was shocked, as if he was shocked by Shi Siming's fierce domineering aura. He bowed to Shi Siming with a pious expression and said in awe: "Being able to serve the general is an honor for the senior official to cultivate three lives. Feng Yu did the most correct thing in this life is to meet the general, and wish the general to rule the world and to be powerful all over the world."

Shi Siming laughed wildly at the sky, as if he had been immersed in the dream of ascending the throne and becoming emperor and living on the country.

Feng Yu's expression of respect was reverent, but a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes.

The vulgar martial artist really underestimated the heroes of the world. He had a good plan and thought others were fools? If you don’t say anything else, do you know that Gu Qing buried my chess next to you a long time ago?

There are also Gu Qing and the Anxi Army, so easy for you to plot against? Since occupying Guanzhong, you have been beaten up by the Anxi Army, so why did you escape back to Hebei in shame and forget?

After laughing wildly, Shi Siming patted Feng Yu on the shoulder and said, "Brother Feng is Shi's close friend, and his talent is also one in a million. I have seen you have a good manner in handling government affairs these days. The court officials all praised my brother for his capable talent in planning the country. If I have a day of success, I will not treat my brother badly. If I become the emperor, you will be the prime minister. You and I will never doubt your life, and there will be a beginning and an end."

Feng Yu said with gratitude: "Feng Yu is willing to die for the general."

Then Feng Yu suddenly remembered something and said hesitantly: "How will our emperor...the general arrange him?"

"You said that playboy An Qingxu?" Shi Siming sneered: "Of course, I borrowed his head and used it to seek credit from the emperor of the Southern Dynasty. My conditions will be easier to talk about. The emperor of the Southern Dynasty gave us only enough for me. If An Qingxu had divided it, I would have gained too little, and this waste would be of no use to live. It would be better to let me send him down to see his short-lived father."

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

Shi Siming's eyes happened to catch them, narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Brother Feng, are you afraid?"

Feng Yuqiang smiled and said, "Haha, the lower official and the general share weal and woe, how could they be afraid of the general?"

Shi Siming smiled and said, "Since you are not afraid, why are you trembling?"

"The early winter is getting colder, and Xiaguan is from the south. I didn't expect that the winter in the north is so cold, so I wear less clothes when I come out."

Shi Siming looked at him with a smile: "In early winter, the north is already cold. Brother Feng must wear more clothes and don't catch a cold."

Feng Yu squeezed out and smiled and said, "Yes, General, I will add clothes when I go back."

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

He has sent someone to Yizhou to check Feng Yu's family background, and everything is fine, but Shi Siming has always felt something wrong with Feng Yu recently. Shi Siming can't say something wrong with something, it's purely an intuition, and he feels that Feng Yu is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

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

Shi Siming said coldly: "Arranging people to lurk in Feng Yu's mansion to monitor his words and actions, and every move."

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

Feng Yu returned to his mansion.

The mansion was presented by Shi Siming himself. It is located on the south side of Guan Street next to the Jinyang Palace. In terms of geographical location, in addition to the palace where An Qingxu lived and Shi Siming's General's Mansion, Feng Yu's mansion ranked third in the third.

No matter what purpose he was, at least Shi Siming was willing to spend time to win over Feng Yu. It is said that the house that Shi Siming gave Feng Yu was renovated by him and he had supervised the work several times. On the day Feng Yu moved in, Shi Siming gave him many calligraphy, paintings and decorations, and gave him his favorite colorful tiger skin.

Whether it is orthodox or rebel, if you can achieve this position, you will have some skills that others do not have, and it is a lucky chance to succeed without anyone.

Feng Yu hurried back to the backyard. Li Jianjiu sat under the eaves of the corridor. Seeing that Feng Yu looked wrong, Li Jianjiu felt nervous and hurriedly met him.

"What's wrong?"

Feng Yu smiled bitterly and said, "I saw Shi Siming today, and there was a look that was wrong, which seemed to have aroused 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 with a serious expression and said, "We are in the enemy camp. Every word and every move must be careful. You cannot allow any mistakes. You may not know the dangers in front of the enemy. Shi Siming is not a rude person. He is not a hero, but he has some real skills. A wrong expression may make him suspicious."

Li Jianjiu gently stroked his face and said, "No matter whether he is suspicious or not, you are confused. Mr. Gu has sent someone to spread the word. In fact, you have achieved this level that has exceeded Mr. Gu's expectations. He hopes that you will let go of everything and go back to Chang'an as soon as possible, and there is no need to continue lurking."

Feng Yu shook his head: "It is necessary. The rebels have not yet been suppressed, and it will always be a threat to Brother Gu. Today I learned that the emperor wanted to surrender Shi Siming and used Shi Siming's troops to restrain Brother Gu. This is a disaster. If he does not get rid of him, Brother Gu and Anxi Army will always be at hindrance."

Li Jianjiu said in surprise: "Do 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 danger of using a knife and a gun..."

Feng Yu smiled: "I am a scholar and knows the principle of sacrificing my life for justice. I have seen countless people die under the swords of the rebels, and have also seen countless refugees who are homeless and frozen and starved to death on the road. But I can only watch the rebels kill people, but I can't do anything. Those who have power only have power and desires in their eyes, and never care about the lives and deaths of the people..."

"When I was in Shiqiao Village, Brother Gu told us that everyone in the world has both good and evil. Some people have lived their whole lives. After their death, people said that he was a good person. In fact, he just rationally restrained the "evil" in his heart. It is superficial to evaluate anyone with "good or bad"..."

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

"I have always believed in Brother Gu's words, but I suddenly realized that he was wrong in this sentence. There may be no absolute good people in the world, but there must be completely bad people, so bad that there is nothing worth forgiven, not a single point. They are born to do evil and deserve to die. If no one deals with them, they will do evil forever. Then, who else would believe in the saying "evil will be rewarded for evil"?"

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

Unconsciously lurked in the enemy camp for three years. During these three years, the rebels captured cities and plundered the land and slaughtered the people. Feng Yu saw all the evil things they had done. The more they saw, the longer they saw, the more painful Feng Yu became, but this kind of pain could not be revealed on his face.

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

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

"Feng Yu, we will do nothing, okay, can 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 in a dignified manner on the battlefield. We don't have to do anything, can we leave?"

Feng Yu smiled strangely, his laughter was a little harsh, and he was even more crazy: "What should I leave? These beasts deserve to die, Shi Siming deserves to die. I don't know what kind of ambitions Gu A's brother has, nor what he wants to do in the end. I only know that Shi Siming is Gu A's brother's enemy. This enemy is not smart or powerful, but he is still Gu A's enemy. I must stay here and wait for the opportunity to kill him."

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

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

Feng Yu took a deep breath and said, "Ajiu, send news to Brother Gu, telling him that the emperor surrendered Shi Siming, Xu the fiefs of the three states around Chang'an, and allowed him to support troops. The emperor's purpose is very obvious. It is to restrain the Anxi army. Please make a decision quickly. Once the situation is restrained, it will be unfavorable to Brother Gu and the Anxi army. It is best to break the deadlock before the situation is completed."

Li Jianjiu silently wrote down his words.

Feng Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Shi Siming may not be suspicious of me, but I cannot be lucky. From tomorrow, Ajiu, you leave the mansion and find a remote place to lurk in Jinyang City. If Shi Siming is suspicious, he may set up a spy in the mansion. You are very dangerous in the mansion."

Li Jianjiu suddenly looked up and said firmly: "I won't leave."

Feng Yu sighed: "Ajiu, this is not the time when children are in love..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Jianjiu said 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."

Li Jianjiu suddenly laughed: "No matter what the outcome is, I will go to life and death with you. Feng Yu, you must have been my creditor in your previous life, no matter how much I will give you back to you in this life."
