Seeing that Yelu Guanyin was about to die, several sharp arrows suddenly flew in and shot down to the ground several men in black who were about to surround Yelu Guanyin. Yelv Guanyin was very surprised and quickly looked in the direction of the arrow, only to see the tall Korean man he had just seen standing on the roof not far away shooting arrows.
The archers in black noticed Yang Peng and turned around to shoot at him. Yang Peng immediately jumped off the eaves, and all the arrows they shot hit the roof tiles. Yang Peng relied on the cover of the house to avoid the shooting of the archers on the roof while shooting the archers on the roof. Amidst the screams, he saw men in black falling from the roof; on the other side, Han Bing climbed up On the roof, the archers on the roof were slashed with swords. Those archers were caught off guard and were killed by Han Bing's sword. Those who survived jumped off the roof in a hurry to escape. In just a moment, the two of them cleared out the twenty-some black-clothed archers on the roof.
Yang Peng climbed up to the roof and continued to shoot at the men in black who were fighting with the guards. The bow string kept vibrating, and the sharp arrows turned into meteors. The arrows were all fired. The men in black were shot to the ground one after another, all of them with critical wounds. arrow.
The guards in the underground began to fight back, killing the men in black until they were defeated and fled in disarray. Those who could not escape were either killed or captured. Yelu Guanyin put the scimitar back into the scabbard and performed a Liao chest-pressing salute to Yang Peng on the roof. "Thank you, brave man, for saving me!" Yang Peng and Han Bing jumped down from the roof, threw away their bows and arrows, and came Arriving in front of Yelu Guanyin, Yang Peng cupped his fists and said, "I have met Her Highness the Princess."
Yelv Guanyin looked at Yang Peng and said, "Looking at the warrior's clothes, he seems to be from Korea?" Yang Peng smiled, reached into his arms and took out a letter, and presented it with both hands, "This is a letter written by the general consort." Yelv Guanyin Feeling a little surprised, "Xiao Temo?" "Exactly."
Yelu Guanyin walked to Yang Peng, took the letter, took out the letter paper, opened it, and read it again. Then he smiled and said to Yang Peng: "It turns out to be Boss Jin!" Yang Peng nodded slightly. "Boss Jin, please come with me back to the house to discuss in detail." "Yes."
At this time, there were rapid footsteps at the end of the street, and many city defense troops appeared and were running towards this direction. Yelu Guanyin ignored those and led Yang Peng and Han Bing to the mansion. A large group of guards surrounded Yelv Guanyin, and some of the guards stayed to clean the battlefield and wait for the arrival of the city defense army.
Yang Peng and Han Bing followed Yelu Guanyin into the hall. The style and layout of this hall was basically the same as that in the Central Plains and Han Dynasty. The main seat is at the top, with guest seats on both sides, screens and palace lanterns, which are extremely gorgeous. Yelu Guanyin walked up to the top, turned around, and asked: "You two, please sit down." They thanked each other and sat down on the right side. At this time, two maids in traditional Khitan costumes came up, served milk tea, and then bowed and retreated.
Yelu Guanyin picked up the milk tea and said, "Thank you both for helping me. If it weren't for you two, I would have been killed at this moment." Yang Peng and the other two picked up the milk tea, and Yang Peng said, "We just happened to meet each other by chance! Your Royal Highness the Princess. The nobles of the royal family are naturally protected by the gods. Even if I don't take action, the danger will definitely be saved!"
Yelv Guanyin frowned slightly, "Your Excellency has amazing archery skills and is a warrior. Why do you imitate the hypocrisy of those civil servants?" Yang Peng ughed, and Han Bing looked at Yang Peng mockingly. Yang Peng laughed and said, "Your Highness the Princess is right!" Yelv Guanyin said, "I offer tea instead of wine to honor the warriors." Then he raised his head and drank it in one gulp. Although he was a girl, she was heroic and unassuming. Yang Peng and Han Bing couldn't help but admire secretly, and drank the milk tea in their hands.
Yelu Guanyin put down the tea bowl and asked: "Can the strong men provide us with a lot of food and cloth?" Yang Peng put down the tea bowl and nodded, "Of course. I can provide as much as you want, and I can offer it at a slightly higher price than Yan Yun." The price will be sold to you." Yelu Guanyin nodded, "This price is very fair!" He glanced at Yang Peng and said, "We are in need of a large amount of food and cloth. But I still need to ask the Queen Mother for instructions on this matter."
"Of course. We are staying at the thoroughfare inn in the city. If His Highness needs to see us, he can send someone to summon us at any time." Yelu Guanyin thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay. I will reply to the warrior as soon as possible." Yang Peng stood up, and Han Bing also stood up. Chen Xiao clasped his fists and said, "In that case, I will leave for now."
Yelu Guanyin stood up and said: "Don't worry, strong man! The strong man just arrived and saved my life. I have to thank the strong man. Don't refuse, strong man. It's just a glass of water and wine, a banquet, and a small talk." Yang What else could Peng say? It's better to be respectful than to obey.
At this time, a school lieutenant ran in and clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, General Kang wants to consult His Highness about the assassination." Yelu Guanyin frowned and said, "Go and tell him that I have rested. If you have anything to do, we will talk about it tomorrow." He made a promise and ran down. After the banquet was prepared, the three of them went to the backyard to have a banquet. After drinking for three rounds, Yelv Guanyin glanced at Yang Peng and frowned slightly, "Have the strong man and I met before?" Yang Peng chuckled and said, "This is my first time coming to Liao Kingdom. I must have never seen him before. Your Highness, if you have seen her, you will never forget a beautiful woman like the princess!" The princess smiled sweetly. Han Bing kicked Yang Peng under the table. Yang Peng was drinking and almost spit out a mouthful of wine.
"Is the warrior uncomfortable?" Yelv Guanyin asked with concern. Yang Peng put down his wine glass and said with a smile: "It's nothing, it seems like he was bitten by some insect."
Yelu Guanyin is very strange, but I didn't go into it deeply. "The strong man's archery skills are really amazing! Daliao is famous for its mounted archery, but I have never seen anyone as skilled in archery as the strong man!" Yang Peng cupped his fists and said, "Your Highness, you have given me the award!" Yelv Guanyin said seriously. He shook his head and said, "There is no award at all. The archery skills of a strong man are really shocking! The legendary generals with magic arrows are probably nothing more than this!"
Yang Peng smiled, cupped his fists and said, "Princess, please don't call me a warrior. If you don't mind, just call me by my name. My name is Jin Yongsan." Yelu Guanyin nodded, "Then I'll call you Brother Jin. Well." Yang Peng chuckled and said, "I don't dare to take that! You are Her Royal Highness the Princess!" Yelu Guanyin waved her hand, "Friends don't talk like this!" "In that case, then I will call Your Highness sister. Yes!" Ye Guanyin smiled brightly. He turned around and glanced at Han Bing, who had been sitting silently next to Yang Peng, "I wonder what I call this girl?"
Han Bing clasped his fists and said, "My name is Jin Hong, and I am my elder brother's sister." Yelu Guanyin suddenly realized it, and said with a friendly smile, "That's my sister too." Han Bing was noncommittal. Seeing Han Bing's cold attitude, Yelv Guanyin didn't feel dissatisfied. He turned to Yang Peng and said, "Brother, I wonder if I can let my little sister see your shocking archery skills again?"
Yang Peng smiled and said: "Of course, but what should I shoot?" Yelu Guanyin looked around and saw the golden bird head on the ridge of the attic across the lake. Shoot the golden bird's head on the roof?" Yang Peng looked in the direction of her finger and saw the golden bird's head on the ridge of the attic across the lake, shining brightly in the moonlight. Han Bing frowned and said, "It's at least three hundred steps away, and the target is so small. How can we hit it?"
Yang Peng couldn't help but feel interested in his heart. For people like him, the more difficult the challenge, the more they can arouse their fighting spirit. He touched his chin and smiled: "You can give it a try." He turned to look at Yelu Guanyin, " If you miss, your Highness, don't make fun of me!" Yelu Guanyin smiled slightly, then raised her voice and said, "Bring me that iron bow!"
The guard agreed and ran down immediately. After a moment, he came over with a heavy black bow, knelt on the ground and held it in both hands. Yelv Guanyin picked up the hard bow and handed it to Yang Peng. Yang Peng took the hard bow and looked at it. The entire bow has no decorations and is dark, but it gives people a feeling of power. There are three small characters engraved on the bow arms, 'Cloud Chuan Gong', which seems to tell the extraordinary origin of this bow.
Yelu Guanyin said: "This cloud-piercing bow originally belonged to the Han people. It is said to be owned by Li Guang, the general of the Western Han Dynasty. It requires five hundred kilograms of force to pull it open. The power is amazing!" Yang Peng couldn't help but wanted to try it. At this time, a guard came up Come and hold three wolf-fang arrows. Yelu Guanyin smiled and said: "Limited to three, let's see if the eldest brother can hit the golden bird's head."
Yang Peng picked up an arrow and put it on the bowstring. At this time, the guards and maids in the palace gathered to watch, and someone exclaimed in shock: "Isn't that the Cloud Chuan Gong? Can he pull it open?" "I'm so embarrassed, even the first warrior of Liao Kingdom can't pull it open. Open your bow!"
Yang Peng took half a step forward with his left foot, his energy sank in his Dantian, he used all his strength to pull hard, and he actually pulled the legendary Cloud-Piercing Bow to the full moon! Everyone exclaimed, Yelu Guanyin and Han Bing's eyes were filled with brilliance.
Yang Peng aimed at the golden bird's head and let go of the bowstring. He felt a huge force suddenly vibrate in his hand. As the bowstring vibrated, the arrow turned into a meteor and flew away, passing by the golden bird's head and shooting straight into the sky. .
Yang Peng shook his head with some annoyance. Regretful exclamations arose from the scene. Yelu Guanyin couldn't help but exclaimed: "Brother is so powerful! I have never seen anyone with such power as my eldest brother!"
Yang Peng laughed and said: "It's useless if you miss it." Then he took the second arrow, opened the bow and aimed at the shining golden bird's head on the distant roof ridge. He concentrated his mind and eliminated all distracting thoughts. Everything seemed to disappear before his eyes, leaving only the golden bird head. The audience held their breath, widened their eyes, and were even more nervous than Yang Peng. This was a moment to witness a miracle.
collapse! The bowstring suddenly vibrated, and the arrow turned into a meteor and flew towards the golden bird's head. Everyone stared at the shining golden bird's head on the roof with wide eyes. Can this arrow hit it? Under the gaze of countless eyes, the flying black shadow slammed into the golden bird's head. With a crisp sound, a golden light flew up, then fell and disappeared into the darkness. Everyone couldn't help but cheer, and Yelu Guanyin's eyes revealed indescribable excitement.
A guard rushed back and presented the golden sparrow head that was shot off by Yang Peng. Yelu Guanyin picked up the golden sparrow head, looked at it, handed it into the hands of the guards, and told: "Put it in the treasure house and keep it away." The guard agreed, bowed and left while holding the golden sparrow head. Yelu Guanyin asked Yang Peng and Han Bing to sit down again. At this time, the guards and maids who came to watch dispersed. After all, the Liao Kingdom was not like the Song Kingdom, and the rules were not so strict.
Yang Peng returned the Cloud-Piercing Bow to Yelu Guanyin, but Yelu Guanyin pushed it back, "This bow is for the warriors! No one in the world is more qualified to own this Cloud-Piercing Bow than my eldest brother." Yang Peng liked this bow very much. After hearing this, he thanked: "Thank you very much, little sister!"
Yelu Guanyin smiled slightly, held up the wine glass, and looked at Yang Peng with her beautiful eyes filled with brilliance. "My elder brother's archery skills are unparalleled in the world. I'd like to give you a toast!" Yang Peng put down the cloud-piercing bow, picked up the wine glass, and did it first as a token of respect. . Yelv Guanyin also raised her head and drank the wine. Putting down his wine glass, he said to Yang Peng: "Brother has such a unique skill. It would be a pity if it were buried among the people! If eldest brother can serve me in Daliao, he will be able to get high-ranking officials and generous salaries at his fingertips!"
Yang Peng laughed and said, "I'm not afraid of my little sister's jokes. Apart from my brute strength, brother, I don't know how to lead soldiers in war. If I really become an officer, I'm afraid I will kill people!" Yelu Guanyin didn't believe it at all, " Brother is too modest." He glanced at Yang Peng and said with a slight blush: "Brother, do you know the reason for shooting the golden bird's head just now?"
"Isn't it just a banquet?" Yelu Guanyin shook his head, "Everyone in the capital knew about this, but they might not know that the eldest brother is a merchant from afar. Many years ago, the father wanted to choose a son-in-law for the younger sister, and the younger sister pointed out at that time He took the golden bird's head and said to his father, whoever can shoot down the golden bird's head will be my little sister's husband."
When Yang Peng uh-huhed, Han Bing glanced at Yang Peng angrily. Yang Peng smiled awkwardly, "I really don't know about this!" Yelu Guanyin stared at Yang Peng and said bluntly: "The eldest brother is an unparalleled hero, and he has saved his life. The younger sister is willing to marry The eldest brother is a wife!" Yang Peng felt at a loss. "This, my little sister may not know. The eldest brother has wives and concubines at home, and there are more than one."
Yelv Guanyin said nonchalantly: "We grassland children don't mind this." Yang Peng said in his belly: You don't mind, I do, what should I do? Fortunately, Han Bing came to the rescue in time, "Your Royal Highness, our country's tradition is similar to that of the Song Dynasty. Parents have to make the decision on marriage matters. This matter must be reported to the elders in the family before they dare to make a decision!" Yang Peng said quickly: "That's right, that's right. , this matter has to be decided by the parents." Yelu Guanyin stared at Yang Peng and frowned: "Is the elder brother trying to stall the little sister?" Yang Peng waved his hands quickly, "No, no! How could I stall the little sister! The little sister is so beautiful and beautiful. As a princess, I wish I could marry my little sister. How can I prevaricate with false words?" Yelu Guanyin smiled sweetly, "Then the little sister will wait for the good news from her elder brother!" Yang Peng nodded.
After the people dispersed in the wine shop, Yang Peng and Han Bing left the Princess Mansion with a school captain from the Princess Mansion and walked towards the Tongqu Inn. Due to the assassination incident not long ago, the street has been blocked by the city defense army and no one is allowed to move. However, since the two of them were led by the princess's captain, they did not encounter any obstacles.
The three of them came outside the inn. The captain performed a chest salute and said, "The little man will be sent here." Yang Peng cupped his fists and said, "Thank you." The captain nodded and left. Yang Peng looked at the retreating figure of the captain and couldn't help but murmured: "What should we do?"
Han Bingbing smiled and said: "Stop pretending! What an honor it is to be favored by Her Royal Highness the Princess. I think you are beautiful in your heart!" "How could I..." Han Bing snorted, "You don't have to What are you explaining to me?" He turned around and went in, leaving Yang Peng outside alone. Yang Peng blinked and muttered: "Why are you so angry?"
Back at the inn, Kou Yan, Yang Xiong, and Shi Ping immediately greeted them. Yang Peng sat down at a table in the lobby and placed the Cloud Chuan Gong on the table. The three of them also sat down. Yang Xiong turned his head and glanced upstairs, and asked in confusion: "Master, why is the lady so angry?"
Yang Peng shook his head, "Who knows!" Kou Yan was about to speak when he saw three small seals engraved on the arms of the bow - Cloud Chuan Gong. Kou Yan's expression changed, and he asked in disbelief: "Could this be the legendary Han Dynasty flying general Li Guang's Cloud-Piercing Bow?" Yang Peng nodded, "Is this what the princess said?"
Kou Yan asked in surprise: "Is this a gift from the princess?" Yang Peng nodded. "She, why would she give such expensive things to the boss?"
Yang Peng sighed in distress and briefly told what happened. The three of them laughed. Yang Peng said angrily: "I'm annoyed to death, but you are still laughing!" Shi Ping said with a smile: "This is a good thing for *********, why bother, brother? Since the princess throws herself into her arms, brother will accept it. That's it. The princess is nothing special." Yang Xiong said with a smile: "That's right! Since the eldest brother has completed the questions given by the princess, where will the princess's face be turned if she regrets it? The eldest brother can't harm others!" Yang Peng rolled his eyes.
Kou Yan smiled and said: "Actually, this is a good thing for both public and private reasons. Why bother, brother?" Yang Peng's heart moved. Yang Xiong and Shi Ping didn't understand, so they asked Kou Yan one after another. Kou Yan stroked his beard and smiled and said: "Don't we want to form an alliance with the Liao Kingdom? What alliance is more solid than a marriage alliance?" Yang Xiong and Shi Ping's eyes lit up, and Yang Xiong clapped his hands and said, "That's right!"
Yang Peng frowned and said: "I'm afraid it's not that simple!" Kou Yan said with a smile: "The master is worried about the princess's reaction when the truth is revealed in the future, right? I don't think there is any need to worry. The princess is a strange woman, she must understand that doing The general who stays in Beijing is much more valuable than Kim Young-sam who is a Korean businessman. I think the princess will be even happier when she understands the truth."
Yang Peng smiled bitterly and said: "Let's talk about this matter later. The situation of the Liao court is not very clear at present. The top priority is to figure this matter out." The three of them nodded thoughtfully. Yelv Guanyin came to the dungeon behind the princess mansion. A dozen assassins who were captured not long ago were imprisoned here and tortured to extract confessions. The sound of whips, the sizzle of irons and the roars of the interrogators came one after another, mixed with the extremely sad screams of the assassins!
Yelu Guanyin came to a shirtless man with black hair on his chest. He glanced at the man in black who was tied to a wooden stake with a drooped head and was covered in blood and scars. He didn't know whether he was dead or alive. He asked in a cold voice: "Hi!" Are you ready?" The big man shook his head, "Now these guys are dead soldiers. All the villain's methods have been exhausted, but this guy just won't speak! The same goes for everyone else!"
Yelu Guanyin's eyes showed a ruthless look, and she grabbed the spear in the guard's hand and stabbed it. The spear pierced the body of the man in black and was nailed to the stake. The man in black let out a last scream and died.
Yelu Guanyin ordered coldly: "Execute everyone and throw them to the back mountain to feed the wolves!" Everyone agreed in unison. Early the next morning, Yelu Guanyin came to the palace as usual. Some civil and military ministers bowed respectfully to her, others nodded slightly, and some looked at her very indifferently or even with hostility.
A middle-aged man came over. This man is in his forties, with a beard under his chin and a delicate appearance. He is wearing a black official robe and a Khitan-style wolfskin official hat on his head. There are two curly braids hanging behind his ears. .
"Your Highness, Princess." The man nodded with a smile on his face. Yelu Guanyin returned the gesture slightly. "I heard that Her Highness was ambushed on her way back home last night. I was worried about the safety of Her Highness the Princess. Now that I see Her Highness the Princess is safe and sound, I feel relieved."
Yelv Guanyin sneered and said: "I'm afraid your lordship is greatly disappointed!" It turned out that this handsome middle-aged man was Xiao Tianzuo, the privy envoy of the Liao Kingdom. He was not only the privy envoy of the Liao Kingdom, but also the maternal uncle of two of the six sons of Empress Dowager Xiao, a true royal relative. Xiao Temo had previously mentioned to Yang Peng the three most powerful people in the Liao Kingdom, including the Queen Mother Xiao.
Xiao Tianzuo showed a very innocent look, "Why did Your Highness say this? Does His Highness suspect that this matter has something to do with me?" Yelu Guanyin sneered: "Only you know this best." "I can solemnly assure Your Highness that this matter will This matter has absolutely nothing to do with me!" Xiao Tianzuo's sincere look made people want to believe his words, but Yelu Guanyin, who had known him well for a long time, didn't believe it at all and just sneered.
At this time, Queen Mother Xiao's eldest son, King Jin, came over. Xiao Tianzuo bowed slightly to King Jin and went to the other side. King Jin looked at Xiao Tianzuo's back, showing disgust without concealment, and asked Yelu Guanyin: "Sister, what did he tell you?" He felt like a tall and powerful man in his thirties, with a loud and angry voice.
Yelu Guanyin said coldly: "He came to tell me that the assassin who assassinated me yesterday had nothing to do with him." King Jin didn't know about this yet. When he heard this, he was surprised and asked anxiously: "Sister, are you okay? Right?" Yelv Guanyin shook her head.
King Jin said angrily: "I'm going to find that guy to settle the score!" As he said that, he was about to go over. Yelu Guanyin grabbed him, "Don't be reckless!" King Jin said excitedly: "I can't just watch him bully my sister and not say anything!" Yelu Guanyin said angrily: "Silly boy! You belong to the Queen Mother. The eldest son, the future heir to the throne, must not be so reckless when encountering trouble!" King Jin puffed up his cheeks, looking very depressed. Yelu Guanyin glanced at Xiao Tianzuo in the distance, frowned and said: "We don't have any evidence. If he bites us back, it will be detrimental to us!"
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
