At this time, Chai Yonghui walked up the city wall and walked towards Yang Peng. Chai Yonghui is wearing a soft moon-white dress with a silk ribbon tied around her waist, which makes her look extra slender and graceful; the left shoulder of the dress is embroidered with bright plum blossoms, which complements Chai Yonghui's alluring appearance; the black Her hair was draped behind her head, like a waterfall, and her star-like eyes seemed to have a slight smile. This is not a woman in the world at all, it is clearly Chang'e who came to the world in the middle of the moon. Chai Yunmiao's beauty is impeccable, and her temperament is somewhat similar to Murong Bingshuang, but if you look carefully, you can still find the difference between the two.
Chai Yonghui walked quickly to Yang Peng, and the jade pendant made a crisp sound with her footsteps. Li Xu left knowingly, and upon seeing this, the secret guard also left. Seeing that there were no outsiders present, Chai Yonghui's temperament became somewhat casual. Yang Peng asked teasingly: "Do you miss me?" Chai Yonghui's face blushed slightly, thinking of the hateful things the other party had done to her, she couldn't help but said angrily: "Who would miss you, a hateful guy? ! I just followed my brother here to take a look."
"Oh? Official Chai is here too?" Chai Yonghui nodded, "He is resting in the inn." Yang Peng said: "Why are you staying in the inn? Just stay at my house." Chai Yonghui pursed his lips and smiled: "That's what you said. , when the time comes, don’t say that we are eating and drinking at your house for free.” Yang Peng chuckled, “What does it matter? It doesn’t matter if I support you all our lives!”
Chai Yonghui looked at Chen Xiao with a blushing face, and there was some inexplicable taste in her beautiful eyes. Soon, Chai Yonghui's expression returned to normal, he smoothed his hair on his temples and said, "I heard that the imperial supervisory army and the eight prefecture prefects are coming soon."
Yang Peng nodded, glanced at Chai Yonghui, and asked teasingly: "You don't want to persuade me to rebel again, do you?" Chai Yonghui said angrily: "I don't understand. You have such strong strength, and now you are Now that you have a base, why should you look at other people's faces? You are actually willing to hand over the country that you finally conquered to that decadent court and fatuous emperor!"
Yang Peng smiled and said nothing. Seeing that Yang Peng was silent, Chai Yonghui stomped the golden lotus angrily, "You are such a real person! What are you thinking in your heart?" Yang Peng looked at Chai Yunmiao affectionately, "What do I think? Do you think so?" Don’t you know yet?” Chai Yonghui was stunned, her face suddenly turned red, and she glared at Chen Xiao in embarrassment, “You bastard!” Then she turned and ran away.
Yang Peng smiled proudly, patted his cheek, and murmured self-deprecatingly: "I'm getting worse and worse!" That evening, Yang Peng returned to the mansion. As soon as he came back, he heard that Chai Yonghui completely ignored Yang Tong. Yang Tong was so angry that he moved into the west wing of the house. Yang Peng felt that one was superior to the other. He didn't understand why these two women seemed to be natural enemies.
A few days later, officials selected by the imperial court arrived. To Yang Peng's expectation, the military supervisor turned out to be Xue Dongpan, who had replaced him before, the honest official who had always suspected and investigated him. As soon as he saw this person, Yang Peng couldn't help but feel a headache.
Yang Peng hosted a banquet for all the officials in the hall. During the banquet, they drank and drank and talked nonsense. After the banquet, Yang Peng summoned his brothers and cronies and discussed it for a long time. Early the next morning, the lean and capable Xue Dongpan came to visit Yang Peng. Seeing Yang Peng, Xue Dongpan saluted, and then said straight to the point: "As a supervisor of the army, I am entrusted by your majesty and have great responsibilities. I also ask the general to cooperate with me!" Yang Peng nodded, "This is certainly."
Xue Dongpan said: "Xiaoguan checked the account books yesterday and found that the money in various treasuries was extremely low. What is going on?" Yang Peng said: "The Liao army invaded in a large scale before, and our army fought fiercely with the enemy. Although in the end Victory, but the military, civilian and property losses were huge. The money in the treasury in various places was used as military expenses or used to subsidize the people and restore the city. Mr. Xue should have seen the prosperity of Shangjing. Without the large investment of these money, this would simply be impossible!"
Xue Dongpan nodded, "What the general did is reasonable, but it is against the rules. I hope the general can hand over the specific account expenses to the lower official as soon as possible so that the lower official can check and report to the court."
Yang Peng said to Qian Letian: "Go to the study and get the accounts." Qian Letian responded, left the hall, and after a while he fetched a thick stack of accounts. Yang Peng pointed at Xue Dongpan and said: "Give the account to Mr. Xue and let Mr. Xue check it." Qian Letian then turned around and handed the account to Xue Dongpan. Xue Dongpan glanced briefly and nodded slightly to Yang Peng, "Thank you, General, for your cooperation. I will take my leave. If I have any questions, I will come back to ask the General for advice." Yang Peng smiled and nodded. Xue Dongpan left with the stack of accounts.
Qian Letian said to Yang Peng: "This person is very shrewd. Last night he drank tea in the teahouse. It seemed like he was drinking tea, but he was actually inquiring about our situation." Yang Peng said: "This person is not simple and must be dealt with carefully." Then he said angrily: "What a **** trouble!" A few days later, Xue Dongpan came to Yang Peng again, hoping to see the army roster. Yang Peng handed him the roster that had been prepared. After Xue Dongpan returned with the roster, he did not check the roster carefully. Instead, he sent his close associates to secretly understand the supply of military rations in various military camps. This incident was quickly discovered by Yang Peng, who immediately took countermeasures, but Xue Dongpan was unable to obtain any evidence.
In the days that followed, secret contests like this continued, and everyone on Yang Peng's side became nervous. As time went by, although Xue Dongpan did not obtain any evidence, he gained more and more information.
At the same time, Yang Peng used bribery and wooing to win over half of the eight prefects sent by the imperial court. The remaining half were basically under his control. The only one was Xue Dong. Pan is very troublesome. There is no good way to deal with this matter at the moment, so we can only take precautions in all aspects.
After Yang Peng and the others left, Xue Dongpan further stepped up his investigation of Yang Peng. There were also problems in the left-behind mansion. Yang Tong frequently challenged Chai Yonghui's authority in the backyard, and the relationship between the two became very tense, almost to the point of becoming tense.
Yang Peng returned to Tianjing New City. At this time, Yang Peng managed an area of about ten states and counties, and his current army reached 250,000, because he had to face the entire Daliao Kingdom, whose current army was five One hundred thousand, and there is still a development potential of three hundred thousand, which Yang Peng cannot ignore. Yang Peng needs to be rich at this time, plus the development in Xiaoliuqiu. Yang Peng suggested that Jinyiwei should observe the residence of Grand Master Pang in Bianjing and try to get some money into his account as soon as possible to ease his financial situation.
Yang Peng smiled and said: "Brothers, you've been waiting for a long time." The three of them heard Yang Peng's voice and quickly looked towards the door. When they saw Yang Peng, they quickly stood up and clasped their fists and said, "Brother!" At this time, it seemed that they were all here. Spiritually. Yang Peng chuckled and said, "Everyone, sit down." Then he walked up to the top and sat down, and the three brothers also sat down.
Yang Peng looked at Zhang Yan, "Have you heard from the Li brothers?" Zhang Yan clasped his fists and said, "I was about to report to my eldest brother. I received their report this morning. Qian Xiaoer couldn't stand their pressure and has already given in. "Immediately he took out a piece of paper folded together from his arms, stood up, walked to Yang Peng, and presented it to Yang Peng with both hands.
Yang Peng took it, opened it, and found that it was an aerial view of a luxurious mansion. Judging from the picture, the scale of this mansion is unimaginable, with eight courtyards and two huge back gardens, each with a large lake. In terms of scale alone, this mansion is probably not inferior to the imperial palace. However, this drawing is very schematic, and there are no details in many places. The places where there are details are mainly concentrated in the first three courtyards.
Yang Peng stood up, put the drawing on the desk, and looked at it carefully. At this time, Chen Jie and Liu Ping also came over.
Yang Peng raised his head and asked Zhang Yan: "Where is the treasure house?" Zhang Yan pointed to the back garden on the left, "According to Qian Xiaoer, the treasure house is in this garden. But he doesn't know the specific location. I know. His level is very low, he has never entered that garden, and his scope of activities is basically limited to the first three times he entered the courtyard."
Yang Peng frowned. Yang Peng was thinking that it would be better to go to Bianjing himself. After making the decision, Yang Peng told Zhang Yan what he had prepared for him, and he rushed to Tokyo that night with three hundred secret guards. , arrived in Tokyo and met Zhang Yan, and listened to Zhang Yan's talk about Taishi Pang's residence.
Yang Peng looked thoughtful, "Tonight, I'm going to go in and find out the situation." As soon as these words came out, Zhang Yan, Chen Jie and Liu Ping were all startled. Chen Jie shouted: "How can this work?" !" Zhang Yan said: "If we are discovered, the consequences will be too serious! Just send a few secret guards!"
Yang Peng shook his head, "No. I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to sneak in. I have to go there myself. Don't worry, I'm sure." Yang Peng didn't say this arrogantly. His martial arts had already improved under the training of his master. When he was very good, he often carried out infiltration missions, and the target's defense methods were not imaginable in this era. Wait, there were all kinds of modern security equipment, and Yang Peng was able to do it silently every time. Dive in, then escape intact. No matter how tight the defense measures of that mansion are, they may not be able to keep up with those Khitan military bases that Yang Peng once sneaked into.
Tokyo is very quiet in the middle of the night. Looking from a distance, I can see the shadows of many buildings stacked on top of each other. The rhythmic sound of the watchman could be heard in the distance, mixed with the barking of dogs. The Royal Palace, located in the north of the city, is still brightly lit. From a distance, it looks like a heavenly palace appearing in the night sky on earth.
Suddenly, many shadows quickly passed through an alley, running towards the magnificent and luxurious mansion in front. In the dark night, these people were like ghosts. A man who got up to relieve himself at night accidentally saw the black figures passing through the back of his yard. He was so frightened that he ran back to the house, jumped on the bed, and covered himself with a quilt. head, trembling all over. His woman was woken up by him. Seeing him like this, she asked in confusion: "What's wrong with you?" The man hurriedly covered her mouth and shouted in a low voice: "Don't make any sound!"
On the sentry tower next to the wall, a soldier stretched himself out and yawned profusely. Bang, a soft sound suddenly came from the wall on the right. The soldier was startled, and quickly ran to the railing and looked towards the wall on the right. Under the cold moonlight, he could only see the swaying shadows of the trees and nothing else. The soldier frowned and muttered: "What the hell are you doing?"
At this moment, he didn't know that a black figure had jumped over the wall from behind him. The soldier thought that what he just heard might be the sound of an animal like a cat, but he didn't pay attention to it. He turned around and prepared to be lazy for a while. He didn't think anyone would be bold enough to come here and act wild. Then he would be really tired of living.
Whoosh, an arrow suddenly flew out from the dark alley outside the wall. Before the soldier understood what was going on, he was shot through the throat by an arrow and fell to the guard tower with his eyes wide open. Then dozens of masked men in black were seen running out of the alley and running to the wall. Several men in black threw lock hooks at the top of the wall, and then dozens of masked men in black quickly followed the lock hooks. Climbed the wall.
At this time, there were nearly a hundred masked men in black hiding in the shadows of another alley. The leader, the masked man in black, looked at the men in black who were scaling the wall in the distance with surprised eyes, and murmured in a low voice: "What's going on?"

Yang Peng relied on the cover of the rockery trees to silently approach the back garden where the treasure house might be hidden, climbed over the last fence, and landed behind a bush. At this moment, a group of more than a dozen patrols walked past him on the cobblestone path not far away. They didn't find anything.
Yang Peng hid behind the bushes and carefully observed the situation in the entire backyard. He found that the place was really heavily guarded! At the two arches that enter the back garden, there are more than a dozen soldiers standing in helmets, carrying armor, and carrying long knives at their waists, holding torches, illuminating the two entrances like daylight; beside the cobblestone road, every dozen or so steps. There was a lantern hanging in the distance, and the lights around the huge wooden house like a huge warehouse across the lake were even brighter; dozens of soldiers were scattered in every corner around the huge wooden house, and nearly a hundred soldiers were divided into several teams. Patrolling the entire back garden.
Yang Peng carefully remembered the warning situation here. Yang Peng's eyes fell on the huge wooden house. He was not sure whether Master Pang's treasure was stored there. He had to confirm it with his own eyes.
As soon as he thought of this, he left the bushes, quickly crossed the cobblestone path and lawn in front of him, and entered the lake before a patrol arrived. A patrolman heard the sound of water on the lake and said to the captain: "Captain, there seems to be a sound in the lake." The captain frowned and said, "Let's go and have a look." Then he led his soldiers and ran to By the lake. The glow of the torches illuminated the nearby lake, leaving nothing but the light reflected on the water.
The captain said angrily: "You heard me wrong." The soldier felt a little embarrassed. The captain said loudly: "Continue patrolling." Then he led his soldiers away from the lake and came to the cobblestone path to continue patrolling.
At this time, a human head slowly appeared on the lake they had illuminated just now. It was Yang Peng who had just dived into the water. Yang Peng looked around, took a deep breath, dived into the water, and swam from the bottom to the opposite side. His method can guarantee that no sound will be made. It is different when paddling on the water. It is difficult not to make water sounds. And in a quiet night, the slightest sound may arouse the alertness of the guards.
When Yang Peng showed his head again, he had swam across the entire lake. After carefully observing the defense situation around the warehouse, dozens of soldiers holding torches surrounded the warehouse, and there was no gap at all. But this is not a problem for Yang Peng. He picked up a stone and threw it towards the bushes on the right. The stone fell into the bushes and made a rustling sound.
Seven or eight soldiers nearby were startled when they heard the sound. "What is the sound?" one soldier asked. Another soldier said: "Go and have a look." Then the seven or eight soldiers ran towards the bush where the sound came from.
Yang Peng took this opportunity to climb up from the lake, quickly ran to a window of the warehouse, opened the window, jumped in, and then gently closed the window. The soldiers ran to the bushes, searched, and found nothing, then returned to their previous positions, not taking what happened just now to heart. When they thought about it, the sound just now should have been made by mice.
The warehouse was pitch black, with no one around. There were huge black shadows standing in the huge warehouse, like hills. Yang Peng walked to a nearby 'hill' and lifted up the tarpaulin. With the little firelight coming from the window, Yang Peng discovered that there were countless large boxes piled under the tarpaulin. Yang Peng opened a box, and what he saw was the breathtaking golden luster. This box was actually full of gold!
Yang Peng closed the box and checked the other boxes and found that they were either gold or silver. Chen Xiao checked other 'hills' and found that there were also gold and silver treasures hidden there. Yang Peng glanced at the seven or eight 'hills' in front of him, and couldn't help but secretly exclaimed: Darling, this old boy is so awesome! He actually stole so much property! I'm afraid the national treasury may not be as rich as here! Calling him a giant rat is really derogatory. He is clearly an extremely huge tiger!
Yang Peng eliminated the traces he left and prepared to leave. At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside. There were shouts, the sound of swords fighting, and the screams of people dying. It was very chaotic.
Yang Peng quickly came to the window and looked outside. I could see the flickering fire and numerous shadows in the courtyard in the distance. There were chaotic shouts and the sound of slashing weapons. It felt as if someone was coming in. Chen Xiao frowned, feeling very surprised. The guards in the warehouse were alerted and gathered in front to look around. Yang Peng took this opportunity to leave the warehouse, quickly crossed the lawn and cobblestone path in front of the warehouse, and re-entered the lake. He dived under the water and swam towards the other side.
Just as they swam to the opposite side, chaotic shouts and fighting sounds suddenly came from the archway. Several men in black rushed into the back garden in a panic and had a fierce battle with the guards guarding the place. At this moment, a dark figure fell down from the wall near Chen Xiao, and then the dark figure ran straight towards the lake.
The black shadow gently entered the lake, and Yang Peng, who was hiding under the water, suddenly emerged, hugged the man in black, and dragged him into the water. The man in black was obviously not good at water. His hands were dancing wildly in the water, with a look of horror in his eyes. Yang Peng pulled out his dagger and prepared to kill him.
At this moment, the man in black's mask was washed away by the lake water, revealing a beautiful face. Yang Peng was surprised when he saw this face. Who do you think this man in black is? It turned out to be Han Bing!
Han Bing choked and looked very ugly. Yang Peng kissed her lips without thinking and gave her the air. Han Bing recovered. When he saw that his lips were being kissed tightly by the other party, he was shocked and hurriedly tried to push Yang Peng away. Yang Peng was furious and hugged her slender waist tightly, his eyes showing an extremely serious look.
Only then did Han Bing realize that the other party was trying to save him, so he involuntarily stopped struggling and stared at Yang Peng with his beautiful eyes. Gradually, a strange emotion came to her heart. It was an emotion she had never experienced before, a very beautiful feeling, but it made her a little panicked. Han Bing's eyes gradually became blurred. Two people emerged from the water. Han Bing took a few big breaths. Yang Peng used the moonlight to see that Han Bing's black outfit was completely soaked and stuck to her body, completely revealing her beautiful curves.
Han Bing saw Yang Peng staring at her body, feeling ashamed and angry, and said angrily: "What are you looking at?" Yang Peng smiled, turned to look towards the arched door, and saw those men in black. Under the siege of soldiers, the situation was full of dangers, and it was obvious that they could not hold on for long. Yang Peng climbed onto the lake shore and stretched out his right hand towards Han Bing in the water. Han Bing did not take Yang Peng's hand and climbed up by himself.
Yang Peng said with a smile: "Stay strong like that! Come on, we have to leave quickly!" Then he led Han Bing to the foot of the wall. Yang Peng took off the hook on his body and hooked it to the top of the wall. He climbed over first and waited on the other side. Han Bing whispered: "Bring the lock hook over when you come over."
Han Bing climbed up the wall, took off the lock hook, threw it to Yang Peng, and then jumped down. Yang Peng was afraid that she would fall, so he quickly stepped forward to catch her. When Han Bing saw that she was being held in Yang Peng's arms, she couldn't help but be stunned for a while. When she came to her senses, she hurriedly pushed Yang Peng away and glared at Yang Peng angrily.
Yang Peng smiled and said: "I'm just afraid that you will fall, don't have such unhealthy thoughts!" Han Bing was ashamed and angry, staring at Yang Peng. Yang Peng said: "If you have anything to say, let's talk about it after we get out. This is not the place to talk." Then he led Han Bing and relied on the cover of trees and rockeries to avoid groups of soldiers. Han Bing was extremely surprised to see that Yang Peng was so proficient in the art of stealth. She really couldn't imagine how a general in the imperial court could be more proficient in the art of stealth than the people in the world. By the way, why did this imperial general sneak into Taishi Pang's house in the middle of the night? What is he going to do? Han Bing held back a lot of questions.
When the two came to the last wall, they found that the wall was full of soldiers, and rows of torches illuminated the surrounding wall as if it were daytime. Han Bing frowned, "No, I can't get out!" Yang Peng looked around and saw five or six soldiers running towards this side. Yang Peng patted Han Bing and said, "Follow me." Then he led Han Bing to the nearby corridor and hid there.
When those soldiers passed by, Yang Peng jumped up, pulled out flying needles with both hands and threw them out. Three times in a row, six steel needles instantly shot six soldiers to the ground. Han Bing looked at Yang Peng in horror and thought to himself: Has he ever been a professional killer? ! Relying on the cover of the rockery trees, he silently approached the back garden where the treasure house might be hidden, climbed over the last fence, and landed behind a bush. At this moment, a group of more than a dozen patrols walked past him on the cobblestone path not far away. They didn't find anything.
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
