"A small impatience will mess up a big plan. Your Highness must not be impulsive!" Yelu Guanyin said seriously. King Jin frowned and nodded. The old eunuch next to the Queen Mother walked in from the side door, walked up the steps, stood next to the dragon chair, turned around, flicked his fly whisk, raised his brows, and said in a loud voice: "The Queen Mother has a decree, and the court will be canceled this morning. , everyone, please come back." All the civil and military officials bowed up and said, "Long live, long live, long live!" Then they filed out, and only Yelu Guanyin stepped forward and said, "Eunuch, I have something important to do and I must see the Queen Mother!"
"This..." The old eunuch looked embarrassed. Yelv Guanyin took out a stack of banknotes from under her belt and stuffed it into the old eunuch's hand. The old eunuch immediately smiled and said, "Your Highness, please come with the Zha family, and the Zha family will report to Your Highness." "Thank you, father-in-law." Then the two of them left the hall through the side door.
When Xiao Tianzuo saw this scene, he squinted his eyes and looked thoughtful. Yelv Guanyin followed the old eunuch to the imperial garden. This imperial garden is huge in scale. At first glance, it is full of exotic flowers and rocks. It is not inferior to the masterpieces of the Song Dynasty emperors! A clear lake is spread out in the middle of the garden like a huge mirror; the magnificent palace is hidden among the green pines and cypresses; the high pavilion that reaches into the sky stands in the wind; the jingling of wind chimes can be heard far away; An exquisite palace is located on the lake, with a cloister connecting it, and the melodious sounds of singing and dancing float along the wind.
"Your Highness, please wait a moment." The old eunuch said. After a while, the eunuch came out and said with a smile on his face: "The Queen Mother, please come in." Yelu Guanyin nodded and said: "Thank you, father-in-law." "Then he quickly walked into the palace. When he came to the palace, Empress Dowager Xiao was still playing with the kabuki dancers. Yelu Guanyin felt that she couldn't get a word in, so she loudly said: "Your Majesty Guanyin pays homage to the Empress Dowager! "
He turned around and glanced at Yelu Guanyin, with a flash of unhappiness in his eyes, and then he said with a smile: "It's Guanyin!" Then he waved his hand and said, "Stay back." The singing and dancing instruments stopped, and everyone bowed and retreated. Go down.
Empress Dowager Xiao walked to the front seat and sat down. She took a look at Yelu Guanyin and asked, "Guanyin suddenly came to see me. Is there something wrong?" Yelv Guanyin said, "To the Empress Dowager, a Korean came to the city recently. The large grain merchants can provide us with a steady stream of food. I am here to implore the Queen Mother to issue an edict to allow me to trade with them in order to enrich the army's rations!"
Yelu Guanyin said quickly: "As the eldest princess of Daliao, I should devote all my energy to the Daliao State!" After a pause, "Queen Mother, please forgive me for speaking frankly. Now that Daliao has lost a large area of Xijing Road and Xijing Road, the situation is The critical Yelv Guanyin felt very helpless and sighed in her heart. "Queen Mother, regarding the cooperation with Goryeo grain merchants...?" "
Empress Dowager Xiao glared and said, "Is Guanyin plotting against my inner treasury?" Yelu Guanyin quickly said, "I would never dare to think so! Xixia is now in full swing, with millions of troops waiting to be ready. If I don't actively prepare, once the Xixia army If we attack again in a big way, how will we defend ourselves against the enemy?"
"Okay! Why do you always say such unpleasant things? What does Xixia mean? Although I won a few battles by luck, how can I compare with Daliao? You should stop being alarmist here!"
"The Queen Mother..." "There is no need to discuss this matter any further!" Queen Mother Xiao said as she rolled her sleeves, then turned around and walked into the compartment inside. Yelv Guanyin sighed helplessly and left.
Shortly after Yelu Guanyin left, Xiao Tianzuo came again. When she saw the Queen Mother, she bowed respectfully: "I pay my respects to the Queen Mother, long live the Queen Mother!" Queen Mother Xiao looked at Xiao Tianzuo and said angrily: "Did you make an appointment to come together today? ?”
Yelu Guanyin arrived at Tongqu Inn, and the waiter and boss hurriedly came out to greet her. Yelu Guanyin asked Yang Peng's whereabouts, and then let the boss lead him to Yang Peng's room. The two met and exchanged greetings. Then the others exited and the two sat down in the room.
"I didn't know that Her Royal Highness the Princess arrived, but I missed you from afar, so I apologize!" Yang Peng said, cupping his fists. Yelv Guanyin said angrily: "Brother, why should I be polite to my little sister?"
Yang Peng chuckled, and then asked: "Your Highness just went to the morning court, right?" Yelu Guanyin nodded, and then said angrily: "Why did the eldest brother call the younger sister your Highness again?" Yang Peng ughed, smiled, and clasped his fists "Little sister." Yelu Guanyin smiled sweetly. Thinking of something, he asked: "Did brother send someone back?" "What?" Yelu Guanyin said angrily: "Didn't brother say that you need to consult your parents for important marriage matters? Didn't brother send someone back?" Yang Peng said this Then he remembered that incident and said quickly: "It was sent! It was already sent yesterday!" Yelv Guanyin turned her anger into joy.
Neither of them spoke, the room was very quiet and the atmosphere was somewhat ambiguous. Yang Peng twisted his neck, "Well, little sister, have you had breakfast?" Yelu Guanyin nodded. Yang Peng said again: "Well, you must not have had lunch yet?" Yelu Guanyin chuckled and turned her beautiful eyes, "Brother, what exactly do you want to say?"
Yang Peng slapped his head and sighed: "It's all because my little sister is so charming, so my elder brother is a little incoherent!" Yelu Guanyin was very happy, looking at Yang Peng with a blushing face, obviously emotionally moved. Yang Peng couldn't help but think: If I wanted to go to bed with her now, she would definitely not refuse, right?
Then he secretly cursed himself: Damn, where were you thinking! Putting the messy thoughts behind, he asked: "I wonder what the Queen Mother has to say about the trade with me?" Yelu Guanyin frowned and returned to the cold and wise appearance of the Daliao Princess, "Queen Mother, no I’m willing to use my inner treasure and let me figure it out on my own!”
Yang Peng asked, "Isn't there a shortage of military rations in Daliao?" Yelu Guanyin shook his head, "To be honest, in fact, our military rations in Daliao are only two to three hundred thousand loads, and military rations are very tight!" Yang Peng said. Understood, "If that's the case, why doesn't the Queen Mother want to use the inner treasury? Oh, I understand, it must be because the treasury is empty, right?"
Yelu Guanyin shook his head, "Brother, you don't understand many things, and I don't know what to say." Then he smiled and said, "But this is not a problem. I can get a lot of good horses in exchange for food." Yang Peng apologized Authentic: "If all this food belongs to the eldest brother, just give it all to the little sister!" Yelu Guanyin said movedly: "If the eldest brother has such intention, the little sister will be satisfied!" Yang Peng couldn't help but hold it. The delicate hands of Yelu Guanyin. Yelu Guanyin couldn't help but be moved, with a moving look in her beautiful eyes.
Yelu Guanyin suddenly remembered something, "Brother, it's really inconvenient for you to live here, why not live in my mansion!" Yang Peng hesitated, "I'm afraid this is not good! I am a grown man, risk Wouldn't it make people gossip if you rashly move into the princess's mansion?" Yelu Guanyin raised her eyebrows, "Brother is my lover, so I'm afraid of gossip! Just let others talk!"
Yang Peng frowned and said, "I think it's better not to do this for the time being!" Yelu Guanyin frowned, "Brother, don't you like me?" Yang Peng smiled and said, "How could that be?" "In that case, why don't you want to? Live in the princess's mansion?" Yang Peng said: "I am doing this all for your sake. I am worried that the ministers in the court will say, 'Her Royal Highness the princess and the Korean businessman are clearly in the same group, and they are cooperating to cause the national disaster in Daliao. Wealth!’. Listen, how unpleasant these words are!”
Yelv Guanyin frowned. Yang Peng continued: "This is not only an unpleasant question, it will also damage the prestige of the little sister, and may cause a bad reaction from the Queen Mother! The little sister is now the ******** of the Liao Kingdom, If something goes wrong, it will definitely be an unbearable disaster for the Liao Kingdom! That’s why the elder brother dare not accept the kindness of the younger sister!"
Yelv Guanyin nodded and glanced at Chen Xiao, "What the elder brother said is absolutely true! It was the younger sister who didn't think carefully and wrongly blamed the elder brother!" Yang Peng laughed. After a pause, "Since the Queen Mother has spoken, I think this business can be carried out immediately. If there is no problem with my little sister, I will immediately send someone back to inform them to ship a batch of food as soon as possible."
Yelu Guanyin nodded, "Okay." "I wonder how much I think the first batch of grain is appropriate, little sister?" Yelu Guanyin thought for a moment, "Is there any problem with fifty thousand dans?" Yang Peng chuckled, "Not at all. Question." Yelu Guanyin said with a smile: "Then it's settled. Brother, please transport the food as soon as possible, while the younger sister will prepare the food payment here!" Yang Peng nodded.
Yelv Guanyin stood up, looked at Yang Peng, and said reluctantly: "Then, I'll go back first." Yang Peng stood up and nodded. Suddenly, Yelv Guanyin swooped up, hugged Yang Peng's neck, kissed him painfully, then smiled sweetly, turned around and left. Yang Peng was dumbfounded for a while, subconsciously touched his lips, and said with a bitter smile: "His grandma, this is the first time in his life that he was molested by a beautiful woman! Haha!"...
Kou Yan, Han Bing, Yang Xiong, and Shi Ping walked in. Han Bing glanced at Yang Peng, and his expression suddenly changed, "Huh! You lecherous guy! Sooner or later you will fall into this!"
Yang Peng rolled his eyes, "What's wrong with me? Look at me, I'm always soft-spoken, polite and courteous to you. If I were perverted, wouldn't I have attacked you sooner?" Han Bing was ashamed and angry. , "You bastard!" and then left the room angrily.
Kou Yan, Yang Xiong, and Shi Ping looked at each other, looking at Yang Peng with unnatural expressions. Seeing the three of them like this, Yang Peng said angrily: "What the hell are you three doing?" Yang Xiong quickly pointed to the corner of his mouth and said: "Brother, you have a woman's lip print here!" Well, I quickly walked to the window, picked up the bronze mirror, and looked at it. Sure enough, I saw that there was indeed a small half of an attractive red lip mark on the left corner of my mouth. It must have been left by Yelu Guanyin just now. Yang Peng quickly wiped it away.
He turned around and said with a smile; "Well,..." Kou Yan said with a smile: "It seems that the head of the house and the princess of Liao Kingdom are making rapid progress!" Yang Peng laughed. Thinking of what I had just discussed with Yelu Guanyin, I briefly recounted the content. Kou Yan thought: "This first batch of grain must be cashed no matter what. As long as this batch of grain arrives, the head of the family will definitely have a greater weight in the minds of the Liao kings and ministers! At that time, he can meet with the princess. Let’s talk about practical matters!” Yang Peng nodded. He asked Kou Yan to get pen, ink, paper and inkstone, write a letter, seal it, and give it to Yang Xiong, with the instruction: "Send it back immediately." Yang Xiong promised, took the letter, and left the room quickly.
Yang Peng came outside Han Bing's room and knocked on the door. "Who is it?" An angry voice came from inside. Yang Peng said: "It's me, open the door." "I'm taking a rest, you can go!" Yang Peng looked at the high sun outside, and chuckled: "What's the point of resting in broad daylight?" Then he knocked again. Door, "Hey, open the door quickly. If you don't open the door, I'll keep knocking."
There were footsteps inside, and then the door was suddenly opened. Han Bing appeared in front of Yang Peng, glared and said angrily: "You are such a scoundrel!" Yang Peng laughed and squeezed in. Han Bing was very angry, but there was nothing he could do. He closed the door, walked up to Yang Peng, and asked angrily: "What are you doing here?" Yang Peng sat down at the square table, looked at her and said with a smile: "Let me see you! I said, can you Can't you stop being so angry? I just made a joke with you! Being angry hurts your liver, is bad for your health, and for a beauty like you, it can also affect your appearance!"
Han Bing glared and said angrily: "You came here just to tell me this?" Yang Peng said: "There is one more thing. Regarding the princess of Liao Kingdom, I actually have nothing to do with her." Han Bingbing said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I can put my lip print on your mouth. If there is anything else, why not..." Han Bing blushed and glared at Yang Peng angrily. Yang Peng saw her blushing face and how beautiful she was. He couldn't help but feel his heart tremble and said: "What else?" Han Bing said with a mix of shame and anger: "You scoundrel!"
Yang Peng quickly raised his hands and pressed down, "Calm down! Fire hurts your liver!" Han Bing saw that he looked a little funny and couldn't help laughing. Then he felt that he shouldn't laugh, so he quickly straightened his face, but The atmosphere is different. Yang Peng stood up, smiled and clapped his hands and said, "Okay, the fire-fighting work is completed. Come on, let's have lunch."
"Wait a moment." "What are you doing? You don't want to rest, right?" Han Bing glared at Yang Peng angrily, "I want to change my clothes." Yang Peng chuckled, "Okay, I'll wait for you outside. ." Then he walked out and stood at the door waiting.
After a while, the door creaked, and Yang Peng turned his head to look, and was stunned. Han Bing changed out of her men's clothes and put on a long black Hufu dress with silver thread. She put on a thin layer of makeup on her face and put on rouge on her red lips. The natural beauty revealed in her strength drew Chen Xiao's soul away, and she Like a Gesang flower blooming on the grassland, Han Bing is even more beautiful than usual at this moment! Seeing Yang Peng staring at him fiercely, Han Bing blushed and said: "What are you looking at?" Yang Peng came back to his senses and laughed: "You look like a child of the prairie! I almost didn't Dare you admit it!" Han Bing snorted and walked downstairs. Yang Peng quickly followed.
When Han Bing appeared in front of everyone in a prairie dress, everyone was amazed. Kou Yan exclaimed: "I think the lady looks like this, even compared to the eldest princess of Daliao!" Han Bing snorted proudly.
After lunch, Han Bing brought a folded rice paper and placed it in front of Yang Peng. Yang Peng was very curious and opened the rice paper. He saw that the rice paper was actually painted with mountains and rivers and the distribution of cities along the way from Shangjing to Liaozhongjing. Where are the mountains, where are the passes, where are the rivers, and where are the cities? Everything is clear. Not only that, the strength of the defenders is also marked in various places.
Yang Peng asked in surprise: "Did you paint this?" Han Bing said: "I didn't do it all by myself. Yang Xiong and Shi Ping also helped a lot." Yang Peng nodded, "Okay! Tai Okay! This trip was finally not in vain!"
Han Bing smiled slightly. Yang Xiong walked in, clasped his fists and said, "Master, someone is here." Then Hou Zhun, disguised as a Goryeo servant, walked in quickly. When he saw Yang Peng, he excitedly clasped his fists and said, "I pay my respects to the master!"
Yang Peng quickly put down the drawings, stepped forward to help him up, patted his arm, and asked: "How are you at home?" Hou Zhun nodded, "Everything is fine." Then he took out a bag from his close-fitting cloth bag. He sealed the letter and presented it to Yang Peng with both hands. Yang Peng took the letter, opened it, took out the letter paper, shook it open and read it again. He frowned and said, "The court wants us to attack?" Han Bing and Yang Xiong looked at each other. Han Bing frowned and said, "This must be Master Pang's idea. He wants to use us to attract the attention of the Liao people so that his son can make meritorious deeds!"
Yang Xiong said angrily: "We don't need to make wedding clothes for others!" Yang Peng frowned and said: "It seems that the court regarded all my words as farts!" The reason why Yang Peng said this was because he was about to send Ding to the court after he got the news. After hearing the news about the attack on Jingdao in western Liaoning, he wrote several memorials, describing in detail the current situation among the three countries, and also talked about the possible consequences after the collapse of the Liao Kingdom, and also put forward his own suggestions. It is recommended that the imperial court abandon the policy of uniting with Xixia to conquer Liao, and instead support Liao in resisting Xixia, and at the same time actively prepare for war for a possible all-out war with Xixia in the future. These suggestions of Yang Peng are naturally correct. However, after Yang Peng's memorial entered Tokyo, it was like a mud cow entering the sea, and there was no news at all.
Yang Peng had actually expected such a result. The reason why he still wanted to submit a memorial was because he didn't want to miss any opportunity. He had always hoped in his heart that a miracle would happen. "How do you plan to deal with the court's order?" Han Bing asked. Yang Peng thought for a moment, "Ignore him."
His eyes turned to Shangjing. Li Xu hurriedly came to the lobby of the left-behind mansion and saw Zhan Jinguo and Qian Letian who were talking. He clasped his fists and said hello, and then said: "Just now, more than twenty large cargo ships entered the dock. Our people found that those people didn't look like They are merchants, most of them are strong men, very vigilant and disciplined, they should be disguised as the army!"
Zhan Jinguo and Qian Letian frowned. Zhan Jinguo frowned and said, "Who wants to take advantage of us?" Qian Letian shook his head, "Probably not. How many people can be carried by more than 20 cargo ships? Dingtian There are only two or three thousand people! Such a small number of people are not worth mentioning in front of our army of 300,000!"
Li Xu asked: "Then why are they here so sneakily?" Qian Letian thought for a moment, frowned and said: "I can't figure it out! But since they came in secretly, they probably didn't want to do anything good! General Zhan, General Li, lead your troops to capture this group immediately!" The two of them clasped their fists in agreement and immediately ran down.
On the pier, the group of mysterious people had already disembarked from the boat, and hundreds of people were surrounding a woman heading to the capital. The east gate of Shangjing City is still five or six miles away from the dock. This section is lined with restaurants, teahouses, brothels, and inns, and is bustling with people.
"Is this the capital city?" the woman asked in awe as she glanced at the majestic city in front of her. The woman's voice is very nice, lingering and soft, giving people a feeling of tenderness. She is wearing a long black waist dress, which is very graceful and charming, but her appearance is invisible because she is wearing a women's bamboo hat decorated with black gauze curtains. Li.
Next to him, a very majestic and powerful middle-aged man with a beard and blond hair like a golden lion king said angrily: "This is Shangjing, you can't go wrong!" The woman sighed: "I didn't expect this place to be so prosperous. I thought it would be desolate and chaotic here!”
A dashing woman wearing a men's warrior uniform said next to her: "This shows that Yang Peng is not just a warrior!" The woman nodded and sighed, "The country has been destroyed and the family has been destroyed. I am living here, and I don't know the future." What will happen?" The woman dressed in men's clothing said with relief: "Your Highness, please don't be sad. I believe that everything will be fine, and the leader's ideals will definitely be realized in the hands of Your Highness!" The woman nodded and sighed, "I hope so. Right." He glanced at the people around him and said, "Although Yanyun is different from the Central Plains, we must be careful with our words and actions. From now on, don't call me Your Highness, just call me Miss." Everyone clasped their fists and agreed. .
The group of people walked for a while and suddenly saw thousands of warriors pouring out of the city gate in front of them. They were startled and subconsciously set up a defensive formation to protect the woman. Thousands of war cavalry quickly surrounded these hundreds of people, and they leveled their horses and roared in unison. Their fierce fighting spirit soared into the sky, shocking everyone in the encirclement and changed their colors. Two extraordinary generals rode out, it was Zhan Jinguo and Li Xu. Zhan Jinguo pointed his flintlock at the people and shouted, "Who are you? Why do you want to sneak into our territory?"
Everyone was shocked and confused. They really didn't understand how the other party discovered the whereabouts of their group. Is there a traitor? The big man who looked like a golden lion king glared and shouted: "Come here if you want to kill, why bother talking nonsense!" An old man who looked like a scribe immediately came forward and clasped his fists and said: "General, don't get me wrong, we are just businessmen here to do business."
Li Xu sneered and said: "Businessmen?" They always had strong and tough men under their command. "These people are clearly soldiers, and they are not ordinary soldiers. They are all brave and fearless people who will fight for the rest of their lives! I advise You should be more honest and don't be careless in front of us, otherwise you will regret it!"
The 'Golden Retriever Lion King' roared: "Are the hairless boys afraid of you when they become grandfathers? Brothers, fight with them!" After saying that, he pulled out a big ax from the basket next to him and charged towards Hua Rong with a howl. Come, all the big men pull out their weapons and charge together, like tigers coming out of their cages, they are really tough people!
Li Xu immediately bent his bow and aimed an arrow at the eyes of the 'Golden Lion King', and then moved the target to his axe. As soon as his fingers loosened, the bowstring vibrated, and everyone saw a flash of black light, almost at the same time. There was a loud noise, and the arrow hit the axe. The ax in the hand of the 'Golden Lion King' was almost knocked down, and he couldn't help but feel horrified. At the same time, the cavalry threw javelins, and the dense javelins crackled on the ground. The big men who were rushing up couldn't help but stop.
Zhan Jinguo shouted sternly: "Don't move rashly! Otherwise you will die in an ugly way!" The woman wearing a gauze curtain and bamboo hat stopped her subordinates, took a step forward, and gave Liu Zhiliang a slight blessing, "General, forgive me, we We are so nervous because we are in a catastrophe. We are just here to take refuge, and we will never dare and will not embarrass the general."
"Who are you?" The woman took off her hat and raised her head. Zhan Jinguo, Li Xu and all the sergeants could not help but be stunned. That is really an unparalleled face! Autumn water is like sacred jade and bones, hibiscus is for face and eyebrows. They are suspected to be gods and fairies in the sky. How many times can we see them in the human world. She was extremely beautiful and extremely tender, and her gaze was as tender as water.
Zhan Jinguo came back to his senses and couldn't help but secretly thought: What a beautiful woman, my wife is a little inferior to her. Even next to her eldest brother, I am afraid that only Miss Zhao Jinxi can compare with her. "You may have heard of my name. I was once called Princess Jinzhi." Zhan Jinguo and Li Xu looked very surprised.
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
