Yang Peng didn't even look at who he had killed. Instead, he started rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the room to search. Since Zhao Jinxi needs to be rescued, she will have to live her life from now on. If you don’t have money, how can you do it? The hard work paid off, and Bai Shujie quickly found a four-foot-square box. When he opened the lid, he saw that there were envelopes of gold wrapped in red paper. A box full, nearly two hundred pounds!
Returning to the first wing, Yang Peng changed into a set of clothes, strapped on a hand crossbow, wrapped the remaining useful things in sheets, carried them out, and placed them in the luxury carriage at the door. Yang Peng finished dealing with the useful things in the first wing, and then returned to Ye Chuqian's room again. Using all his strength, he finally moved the box containing the gold onto the carriage and put it away without affecting the position where Zhao Jinxi was sitting.
I returned to the room and searched again, and finally found a bracelet. This is a men's bracelet with solid gold surface and luxurious style. As for other objects, Yang Peng looked down upon them. Only a map of Yingzhou was torn off the wall. There is also a hand crossbow that I simply didn’t take. It would be problematic to commit suicide!
Yang Peng pulled the carriage to the front yard, where Zhao Jinxi was already pacing back and forth. Seeing that he was already very anxious, Yang Peng stepped forward and said, "Miss, please get in the car and give me directions!" Hearing Yang Peng's voice, Zhao Jinxi quickly stepped into the car. Although she saw the big box, she knew enough not to ask. Instead, he whispered: "You should have a special pass in your pocket. When you pass the door, stop the car and hand it over, and say go to the front to have breakfast." All goes well!
Yang Peng's ID card had just been halfway out of his pocket when the guarding Khitan officer had already opened the railing. Because the certificate Yang Peng held was a special-grade pass signed by Ye Qian Chuqian and confirmed by the Khitan Yamen officer, which was exempt from inspection! Yang Peng pulled the carriage forward and soon headed straight for the west gate. It's a pity that as soon as he left the west gate, he became stupid! The dirt road outside is full of potholes, making it impossible for a rickshaw to travel normally. If the rickshaw was abandoned, he would not be able to carry the contents alone. It's such a pity to lose it, it's all gold! At this moment, three black shadows suddenly ran onto the road, and three black hand crossbows were pointed at Yang Peng: "Don't move, if you move again I will kill you!"
Yang Peng stopped the carriage gently, and then heaved a sigh of relief: "Oh, thank God! I didn't want to move for a long time. The rest is all about you three bastards!" "Brother? It's you!" When you changed your clothes, you were still wearing a fox hat and carrying a crossbow, none of us noticed it!" Shi Liancheng jumped three feet high: "Brother is fine, that's great!"
"It's so early in the morning, what a fuss!" Yang Peng said impatiently: "I was chased by a Khitan dog all night, how can I still say it's okay? If it hadn't been for the help of noble people, I would have been dead! Miss Zhao, I might have to trouble you to get out of the car and walk a few steps." He was wearing a scarlet cotton jacket and cotton trousers, a black cloak and a snow hat, a pair of deerskin boots under his feet, and a pair of ring handbags in his hands. As soon as Zhao Jinxi came out, Cheng Shijie, Duan Zhixian and Shi Liancheng were dumbfounded! Shi Liancheng was the first to react and exclaimed in surprise: "This sister is so handsome, just like an immortal!"
"Miss Zhao, give them everything you have!" Yang Peng took the handbag and threw it to Shi Liancheng: "Hurry up and find a car!" Cheng Shijie looked at the luxurious carriage and felt that it was a pity to throw it away, and It's not appropriate to be at the city gate now. I have no choice but to pull him and run forward. However, with Duan Zhixian pushing from behind, although it was very bumpy, it could still be dealt with.
"Miss Zhao, let's take a few steps. It's nice to go for a walk this early in the morning, hahaha!" Yang Peng stepped aside to give way. Zhao Jinxi's face was also filled with surprise and joy. He glanced at Yang Peng and said, Walk slowly.
"Miss Zhao, now that you have left the wolf's den, what are your plans in the future?" This is a very serious question and an urgent one, so Yang Peng asked it straightforwardly. "I still have an old woman in my hometown in Bianjing. I ran away several times just because I wanted to go back and see her." Zhao Jinxi shook his head and said, "I didn't expect that the road was really uneven and difficult to walk."
"Not only the Liao Kingdom, but also the Central Plains region is not at peace now!" Yang Peng knew that the Song Dynasty was definitely a bloody era. There are bandits and powerful people everywhere. So he said: "I'm really worried about letting Miss Zhao go on the road alone. Of course, if you have to go back to Bianjing to find a girl, I will personally take you to Bianjing."
"I want to leave now, but I'm afraid I can't leave, right?" Zhao Jinxi glanced at Yang Peng with a smile: "Don't Yingzhou City want the murderer of Ye Qianchugan? Zhao Jinxi absconded privately, so he is the biggest suspect. Can you go out? Really!" "Miss Zhao is extremely smart and can guess right away. I can't hide anything from you!" Yang Peng was also surprised that Zhao Jinxi was so smart.
Zhao Jinxi said half truthfully: "Where is your cottage? Anyway, I am also one of the murderers now. I have already forced myself to join you as bandits. Lu Yinzi should give up and just go and be your pawn." Forget it, Mrs. Yazhai!" "Haha, Miss Zhao is joking!" Yang Peng's heart was pounding when he heard that, and he quickly changed the subject: "We are not bandits, so of course there is no such thing as a copycat. But there is a place in the secret camp, It’s just a hiding place for the brothers, but I’m afraid it won’t be able to accommodate this giant Buddha like Miss Zhao’s fairy daughter!”
Zhao Jinxi sighed: "It seems that brother dislikes me as a kiln girl!" "No!" Yang Peng swore to the sky: "If I, Yang Peng, dislike Miss Zhao, I will definitely be struck by thunder from heaven! However, we all He escaped from death in the Khitan Dog iron mine and has no foundation. But there is no question of whether he dislikes it or not. Miss Zhao, please don’t misunderstand me!"
"Okay, I'm joking with you, but you take it seriously!" Zhao Jinxi smiled slightly: "Brother, show me your hand crossbow. Is it the Shilianzi or the Song Dynasty version?" Yang Peng said nothing. Instead, he took out the two hand crossbows he used from his lower back and handed them over.
"Brother's hands are very strong. Both of them are Song Dynasty editions." Zhao Jinxi looked at the two hand crossbows carefully, then pulled the gun down with two thumbs, and raised his hand into the air to shoot two arrows! Yang Peng is already considered a veteran in using arrows. Zhao Jinxi casually took these two arrows, which looks simple, but is actually very difficult to do! As the so-called expert knows, Zhao Jinxi's shoulders are flat and his arms are steady, with only a slight jitter in his wrist! Because Shi Liancheng is young, he can only do this with his right hand.
"Miss Zhao is really good at archery!" Yang Peng suddenly exclaimed in his heart: "What an amazing little girl! This should be an expert archer who can shoot left and right!" Zhao Jinxi blew the bow of the hand crossbow and said with a smile: " How about I be a soldier under you?"
"If Miss Zhao is willing to stay, of course we will be happy to ask for it!" Yang Peng said with a smile: "However, we are very poor there, and few people can afford to walk in the old forest all day long." At this moment, Shi Liancheng He was already catching up with a large truck: "Brother, there was an arrow just now, I thought there was a fight here."
With the cart, the horse-drawn carriage is of course of no use. Chen Shijie and Duan Zhixian dismantled the carriage's shed, then disassembled it into eight pieces and loaded them onto the cart. There was no conversation all the way, and we returned to our base at midnight that day. When Zhang Xiang saw that his brother had brought back a fairy-like girl, without saying a word, he took the people to the innermost part of the cave and used an arrow box to create an independent space to deal with Yixue.
At breakfast the next day, Yang Peng formally introduced Zhao Jinxi to everyone, broke into the Qianjinzhai New District, and then visited the Khitan military camp at night and was discovered. The assassination of Pu Wenxiao failed, and Zhao Jinxi saved his life in danger, and finally killed Ye. Qian Chu told him what happened.
Of course, Yang Peng used the Spring and Autumn style of writing to conceal Zhao Jinxi's identity. Hearing that this fairy-like beauty in front of him turned out to be his eldest brother's savior, all the brothers stood up and saluted with clasped fists: "Thank you, Miss Zhao, for your life-saving grace! If you saved our eldest brother, you are the savior of all our brothers." ! If you need anything in the future, you just need to send us a message. Even if the sky falls and the earth falls, we promise to arrive on time!"
"Hee hee hee, brothers are so polite!" Zhao Jinxi also stood up and returned the salute with clasped fists. He was completely in the Jianghu style, without the slightest bit of arrogance: "I just need your help with something right now. I don't know what you guys are doing." Do you agree or not?" "Miss Zhao, please make it clear, brothers, there will be no objection!"
Zhao Jinxi smiled happily: "I want to stay as a soldier, but your eldest brother doesn't agree. What should I do? Can you please help me?" After dinner, he returned to his residence and introduced himself after Zhao Jinxi. Only then did Yang Peng realize that this little girl who looked like a fairy was actually a great scholar!
It turned out that I heard that the superintendent of the Bianjing Academy not only waived tuition fees, provided two free meals a day, but also provided living expenses. Zhao Jinxi came to Yingzhou when he was fifteen years old, and had been studying at the Bianjing Academy before that. At the beginning of last year, I went shopping with some seniors on the street to buy daily necessities. Unfortunately, I was arrested by Pu Jinyi’s men and sent to Qianjinzhai until today!
Yang Peng calculated in his mind that Zhao Jinxi should be less than twenty years old and had been forced to accept customers in the brothel for more than a year. During this period, he ran away three times and was caught and beaten three times. That was not a life to live for! Just because she wanted to escape, some guests came with crossbows, and she pestered them to teach her archery. Men always like to show their abilities in front of women, so what they teach her is the summary of their actual combat experience, which is considered a personal unique skill.
Just like this, Zhao Jinxi developed the ability to shoot the bow from left to right. It's a pity that Pu Wenxiao paid too close attention to this cash cow and had no way to escape. In fact, Zhao Jinxi had sneaked out and got into the carriage not long ago, but Pu Wenxiao and Ye Qian Chuqian chased him and pulled him out of the carriage, and then he was beaten severely for three days and three nights. After that, every few days, Pu Wenxiao would find an excuse to beat her severely. This was the origin of the whip marks she saw on Yang Peng.
"Actually, you are one and a half years younger than me. Let me call you sister." Yang Peng looked at Zhao Jinxi and said sincerely: "As long as you can endure hardship, this will be your home from now on! All the brothers here are your relatives. You will slowly come to know that they are closer than relatives." After hearing what Zhao Jinxi told about what happened, Yang Peng was not only angry but also angry. Then he took out two boxes of medicine and handed them to Zhao Jinxi, and showed her all his weapons before choosing his own.
Without saying a word, Zhao Jinxi reached out and grabbed two hand crossbows with ten movable arrow clips, and took six empty arrow clips and two hundred hand crossbow arrows. He also took away the machine oil and machine cloth at the same time. "That's them!" Zhao Jinxi nodded and smiled: "I'm not afraid to tell you, I have shot nearly a thousand arrows, but I have never had my own hand crossbow."
"As long as you like it, this box is yours!" Yang Peng brought Zhao Jinxi to another independent wooden box and said, "This is my gift to you. Open it and see if you like it?" "what is this? The gold and silver that Duan Shijie got back from Pu Jinyi's third concubine were soft and soft, and the clothes in all seasons were made of silk and satin! There is also a crossbow hand-made by Ms. Xiuzhen with one hundred arrows; a hand-made crossbow made by Ms. Song Dynasty, which Yang Peng replaced last night, is placed on top. In addition, there are 2,400 taels of silver that Zhao Jinxi brought out by himself, plus the 2,000 taels of gold that Yang Peng put in last night.
"Oh, royal bracelet!" Zhao Jinxi exclaimed and immediately grabbed it! But he soon became gloomy: "No, it smells manly!" "I'm sorry, when I came to your place yesterday, this bracelet was still on my wrist." Yang Peng scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. : "I was careless, I should clean it up!"
"Oh, is it the smell of big brother? That's so good!" Zhao Jinxi quickly put the bracelet on his left wrist and flipped it over and over for a long time. "It is indeed a ladies' bracelet. It looks great on you!" Of course Yang Peng knew that in this era, just this pair of bracelets was a symbol of identity and status. There is no girl in the world that I don’t like! However, Zhao Jinxi is beautiful to begin with, and coupled with her unique bookishness, she gives people an extraordinary impression!
"You said it, these things are all mine?" Zhao Jinxi couldn't believe it: "You won't regret it, right?" Seeing Zhao Jinxi showing his innocent and well-behaved side, Yang Peng also smiled and said: "As long as you are happy That’s fine, do I look like someone who has gone back on his word? However, your status is different now, so it’s best to keep your pocket crossbow close to your body, as this is your last trump card to save your life!”
"It's good to have a big brother. I finally know what it feels like to be hurt, hee hee hee!" Zhao Jinxi closed the box, then picked up the anti-inflammatory medicine and said, "This is powdered medicine, so it's still troublesome. Brother, help me. Because I can't rub it on my back!" Regardless of Yang Peng's expression, Zhao Jinxi took off his shirt and lay on his bed. Yang Peng didn't look carefully last night. Today, the environment has changed, and his mentality is naturally much more relaxed.
Looking at the light coming from the cave entrance, it can be seen that the injury on Zhao Jinxi's back is very serious. The old whip marks haven't completely healed yet, new whip marks have been superimposed on top of them, and the cracks are as thick as a finger! The entire back can be said to be completely torn and bruised! Most old men can't bear this kind of overlapping scars, but such a weak woman in front of her can bear it without saying a word. This kind of visual impact shocked Yang Peng's heart very strongly. Yang Peng held back tears and sprinkled the medicine powder as lightly as possible and pressed it firmly.
While Yang Peng was applying the medicine, Zhao Jinxi's back muscles twitched in pain, but she didn't utter a sound from beginning to end. Except for her breathing becoming a little heavy, she didn't even make a slight hum. Zhao Jinxi's tenacity and strength are evident from this! "Big brother must be asking in his heart, why didn't I seek death?" Zhao Jinxi slowly put on his clothes and said: "If I really want to die, no one can stop me. But I must live to see my mother, and then I will find those bastards Revenge! I will repay them double the pain they inflicted on me!"
At this point, changing Zhao Jinxi's dressing has become a full-time job for Yang Peng, not to mention the pains and joys involved. The next day, Yang Peng officially announced that Zhao Jinxi had joined the team. When Zhao Jinxi put on the team's unified navy blue student uniform, tied an armed belt around his waist, and appeared in front of everyone with a two-handed crossbow across his body, there were more than forty pig brothers on the playground!
"From today on, Zhao Jinxi will be the secretary of our team!" Yang Peng said with a smile: "Zhao Jinxi will be the cultural teacher in the future. This is the great scholar I invited for you. Everyone welcomes him!" From then on, the soldiers Our enthusiasm for learning is soaring!
Yang Peng couldn't help but secretly wonder: Is it true that the saying "a beautiful teacher will bring out a bunch of pig brothers!" is not true? With the beauty accompanying us, everyone felt that time passed too fast, and in a blink of an eye it was the summer of the first year of the Dao!
In the past half year, while his cultural and academic performance has improved by leaps and bounds, Yang Peng has also tightened his grip on the task of taking turns to go out for investigation. Duan Zhixian's third class finally brought back a piece of news about Pu Jinyi's whereabouts. Someone has been seeing Mou Jinyi coming in and out of Youzhou City recently. Families with older girls and younger boys are keeping their doors shut these days, fearing that their children will be taken away.
When Yang Peng got the news, he immediately thought of the twelfth concubine that Zhang Xiang and the others had mentioned at the beginning, and what kind of gold they had left. If things go wrong, Pu Jinyi may feel that Qianjinzhai is no longer safe and simply hide in Youzhou City. To seize food from the tiger's mouth, kill him! Decisions are easy to make, but action plans are not easy to implement.
Because Yang Peng can be said to have a dark eye on the current Youzhou City. Although Zhao Jinxi has lived in Youzhou for nearly three years, she still has no impression of the street names. Because she is imprisoned by Pu Wenxiao and has no money, she rarely goes out to go shopping. According to Yang Peng's wishes, it was more appropriate for Zhao Jinxi to stay in the secret camp and look after the family as soon as his body recovered. Unexpectedly, Zhao Jinxi's mood suddenly became violent: "What you said about equality between men and women turned out to be lies! You look down on me as a little girl, don't you? Let's go out and compete!"
"Can you please keep your voice down? Why are you shouting so loudly?" Yang Peng had no temper at all in front of Zhao Jinxi: "Your body and bones are in good condition, and you still need to recuperate for a while." "I just yelled, what are you doing? !" Zhao Jinxi's voice was louder than before: "It's all flesh wounds and has been cured long ago. I'm not a rich lady, what should I raise?" Go back to your parents' home! The new daughter-in-law returns to her parents’ home!
This is the idea that big brother Zhang Xiang came up with. Anyway, there is a ready-made horse, and then it is hitched to a cart. The groom is riding a horse and the bride is riding in a car, which is quite a match. Anyway, everyone said so, and Yang Peng couldn't help but object. The minority obeys the majority, this is his order. The most enthusiastic person was Zhao Jinxi. As soon as she heard that she was pretending to be a new daughter-in-law and returning to her parents' home, she immediately returned to her independent residence. Appearing in front of everyone an hour later, more than 40 bachelors almost had nosebleeds together!
Duan Zhixian got a pair of embroidered leather shoes from Pu Jinyi's third concubine, and wearing them on Zhao Jinxi's feet would be a perfect match! Wearing a scarlet robe, plus a water-red shawl, the front is bulging, and the back is round and charming. Zhao Jinxi was suddenly reduced from a heavenly being to a witch who was so charming that he wanted to kill people!
The sounds of swallowing saliva kept coming and going, and Yang Peng couldn't criticize others yet. Because he had secretly swallowed the saliva three times, but the sound was not that loud! According to Yang Peng's instructions, Zhao Jinxi has changed into the Song Dynasty version Xiaokun bag of the third concubine. There was nothing inside, only a pocket crossbow, a lipstick, and a small round copper mirror! This is not a bride returning to her parents' home, but a beautiful killer who is ready to kill at any time!
The bottom of the cart has been modified by She Shijie and others, and all the long arrows are inside. Each class didn't bring any crossbows, but the crossbows were inside. Anyone who has been issued a hand crossbow should wear it under their clothes. Yang Peng brought four of them alone. Of course, two of them were crossbows for the bride Zhao Jinxi!
When the sun set to the west, a towering city wall appeared in everyone's eyes. After about ten minutes, everyone arrived near the big city. This was Yang Peng's first time to see an ancient Chinese city with his own eyes. When the real scene came into view, his original excitement suddenly disappeared.
There are pedestrians and carriages coming and going on the road. Needless to say, the clothes are just like that in the Song Dynasty. The key is that there is no emotion or joy on people's faces, giving people an indescribable and extremely uncomfortable feeling. Silly! Everyone's faces were dull, and there was no sign of anger. Looking at the situation in front of him, Yang Peng's heart suddenly moved, and he suddenly remembered many things:
The year before last, at the end of November of the first year of the Song Dynasty, and in August of the ninth year of Kaibao (976), Taizu launched the Northern Expedition again. However, Taizu died suddenly on October 19th, leaving behind the historical mystery of "the sound of candle shadow and axe", and his younger brother Zhao Guangyi came to the throne. There are also folk legends that Zhao Kuangyin was killed by Zhao Guangyi. In order to ensure the legitimacy of the regime, Zhao Guangyi put forward the theory of his mother, Queen Mother Du, which was the "Golden Chamber Alliance". At the beginning of his accession to the throne, Zhao Guangyi was busy rectifying the government affairs, and the unification project was temporarily suspended.
After Zhao Guangyi firmly ruled the throne, he continued the cause of national unification. He first separatized Chen Hongjin and Wu Yue's Qian Chu in Zhang and Quan Prefectures in Fujian Province, and then destroyed the Northern Han Dynasty. In May of the fourth year of the Taiping Xingguo reign (979), Zhao Guangyi ignored the opposition of his ministers and took advantage of the remaining power of the destruction of the Northern Han Dynasty to launch a Northern Expedition to the Liao Kingdom from Taiyuan. At first, he recaptured Yizhou and Zhuozhou. Later, he was defeated by the Liao army and the Northern Expedition failed.
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
