A huge convoy carrying grain entered the capital of central Liaoning, and the officials and people of the capital were greatly shocked. Immediately, more than 50,000 loads of grain carried by this huge convoy were transported into the princess's mansion. Yelv Guanyin looked at the grain being unloaded in front of her and was very excited. Yang Peng smiled and said: "Follow-up food will be shipped continuously!" Yelu Guanyin looked at Yang Peng gratefully, "With big brother here, I no longer have to worry about military rations!" Yang Peng smiled.
At this time, Zuo Mou, who was disguised as the director of the grain transportation team, ran over and said, "Master, the grain has been counted and put into the warehouse, and the other five thousand good horses have been handed over!" Yang Peng nodded, "Okay. You go down and rest." Zuo Mou bowed and went down to greet everyone to rest.
Yang Peng and Yelu Guanyin returned to the backyard and walked along the lake. Yang Peng asked in confusion: "Little sister, I remember when I entered the city, I saw thousands of fertile fields outside the city and the growth was gratifying. Why is the Liao Kingdom's military food so scarce?" Yelu Guanyin showed resentment, "Those The grain fields belong to the nobles, and the grain they produce cannot enter the national treasury at all! In fact, the grain in the hands of the nobles is piled up like mountains, but they would rather the grain rot in the warehouse than give even a little bit to help the country! "
Yang Peng sneered: "I originally thought that only the nobles of the Central Plains were so greedy and stupid, but I didn't expect that the nobles of the Liao Kingdom were the same! Don't they understand that their wealth and life are actually closely connected with this country? Once the country Overturned, will everything they have now be destroyed?”
Yelv Guanyin laughed mockingly, "If they understood this, they wouldn't do such stupid things. Alas, what's so hateful is that I can't do anything to them." Later that day, Zuo Mou came to Yang Peng's house room, after saluting, reported: "I am reporting to the head of the house, everything in the house has been arranged according to the head of the house's instructions."
Yang Peng smiled and said: "There are our people watching around this room, you don't have to be so cautious. Did anything happen at home?" Zuo Mou cupped his fists and said: "There is only one thing that needs to be reported to the lord. No matter what, lord I'm afraid I can't even guess that Princess Jinzhi, a saint of the Ming Cult, and more than 2,000 of her men fled to Shangjing."
Yang Peng showed surprise, "Is there such a thing?" Zuo Mou nodded, "General Zhan and Master Qian did not dare to deal with them rashly, so they specifically asked their subordinates to take this opportunity to send food to ask for instructions from the lord." Yang Peng stood up, walked to the window, and looked out at the cloudy sky. He turned around and asked, "How did you arrange them?"
"Temporarily place them in a previously idle mansion in the city, send people to monitor them day and night, and at the same time restrict their free movement." Yang Peng nodded, "You have done a good job! That's it for the time being. How to deal with it, I'll wait for you Let’s talk about it after we get back!” “Yes.”
Yang Peng thought for a while, "If they make any changes during this period, arrest them immediately!" "May I ask my lord, what is the change?" "Trying to leave Shangjing, trying to contact people, anything that may cause harm to us All of your actions are abnormal!" "I understand, my subordinates."
Yang Peng walked to the desk, picked up a letter he had written earlier and handed it to Zuo Mou. "This is the next action plan. Go back and give it to Duan Zhixian." Zuo Mou agreed and took the letter with both hands.
"Father, that Korean man really brought a large amount of food! Now the princess is opening a porridge shop outside the city to help the victims, and the victims are extremely grateful to her!" Xiao Ang, Xiao Tianzuo's son, said with a look of resentment.
Xiao Tianzuo frowned and said, "I didn't expect that Korean guy to be really capable! With his support, Xiao Meier is so powerful!" "Father, we have to find a way to get rid of this person!" Xiao Ang said fiercely. Xiao Tianzuo thought for a while and ordered: "You rush to Beiying immediately and ask your third uncle to immediately lead a cavalry disguised as bandits to rob the caravan! Don't kill them all, leave a small group behind." The two of them go back and tell them that it was the bandits who did it! As for those good horses, just take them back to Beiying." Xiao Ang responded excitedly and left in a hurry.
Xiao Tianzuo thought for a while, then left the mansion and came to the palace. I waited for more than an hour outside Empress Dowager Xiao's specially designed game room. During this process, there was a constant faint moaning of a woman inside, which made people feel distraught. Finally, the voices inside gradually disappeared, and then a beautiful palace maid with a flushed face came out with an unnatural gait and called for him to come in to see him.
Xiao Tianzuo walked in quickly, glanced at the sullen Empress Dowager, and said quickly: "I don't dare to disturb the Empress Dowager, but there is something urgent that I must inform the Empress Dowager!" Empress Dowager Xiao said angrily: "I don't think so. Have you said it before? Everything is decided by your discussion, there is no need to bother others, don’t you know?"
Empress Dowager Xiao quickly said: "If it were an ordinary matter, I would never dare to disturb the Empress Dowager. In fact, it is a major matter related to the Queen Mother's wish!" "My wish? You can make it more clear!" Xiao Tianzuo glanced at Xiao. The Queen Mother lowered her head again, "I understand your Majesty's feelings towards the Princess. But now someone has taken the lead!"
The emperor felt at this moment as if someone had touched his forbidden area. He shouted fiercely: "Who is it? Who took the courage of the ambitious leopard? I will cut him into pieces!" Empress Dowager Xiao said: "This person It is Jin Yongsan, a Korean businessman who recently came to the capital. It is said that he was tall and powerful. At a night banquet at the princess's house, he shot an arrow at the golden sparrow's head, and the princess was promised her life!" Empress Dowager Xiao suddenly rose up with murderous intent. Authentic: "He is looking for death! Someone is here!"
The confidant eunuch came in immediately, "What are the Queen Mother's orders?" "You, immediately go to the princess's house to summon the Korean businessman Jin Yongsan to see you!" The eunuch agreed and retreated. Empress Dowager Xiao was so angry that she kept breathing. Xiao Tianzuo was secretly proud, waiting for a good show.
The eunuch led the palace guards to the princess's house and saw the eldest princess Yelu Guanyin in military uniform. He saluted and said, "Old slave, please pay homage to Her Royal Highness the Princess!" Yelu Guanyin smiled and said, "You don't have to be polite, my father-in-law. I don't know what's going on with my father-in-law's arrival? "The old eunuch said: "According to the Queen Mother's oral instructions, the businessman Jin Yongsan was summoned to see him."
Yelu Guanyin was very surprised, "Why did the Queen Mother suddenly summon a businessman?" The eunuch said: "This old slave doesn't know." Then he urged: "Your Royal Highness, the holy order cannot be delayed, please quickly ask Boss Jin to come out and follow the old slave. Let's go into the palace together." Yelu Guanyin was suspicious, but the emperor's order was difficult, so he turned to a guard beside him and ordered: "Go and call the elder brother immediately." The guard promised and ran down. A moment later, Chen Xiao, dressed in Hanfu, followed the guard into the hall. Seeing that there were outsiders present, Yang Peng cupped his fists towards Yelu Guanyin and said, "Your Highness the Princess." Yelu Guanyin pointed at the eunuch, "Your Majesty has issued a verbal order to summon the eldest brother to see you." Yang Peng's heart skipped a beat. Yelu Guanyin continued: "I will accompany my eldest brother into the palace." Yang Peng smiled slightly.
The two men followed the eunuch and his party toward the palace, surrounded by hundreds of guards. Arriving at the gate of the palace, the guards stopped, and Yang Peng and Yelu Guanyin entered hand in hand. Soon after, the two followed the old eunuch into Queen Mother Xiao's study. Empress Dowager Xiao was stunned when she saw that Ye Qi Guanyin had followed her, and then her eyes showed a very jealous look. Xiao Tianzuo stood on one side with a sneer on his face, as if he was waiting for a good show. The eunuch handed over the order and stepped aside. Yelu Guanyin came forward to pay homage: "Your Majesty Guanyin pays homage to the Empress Dowager!" Yang Peng followed suit and said: "Caomin Jin Yongsan pays homage to the Empress Dowager of Liao!"
The Queen Mother suddenly shouted at Yang Peng: "Jin Yongsan, do you know your guilt?" Yang Peng and Yelu Guanyin were both shocked. Yang Peng clasped his fists and said, "The common people don't understand why your Majesty said this?" Yelu Guanyin said angrily: "Jin My eldest brother has been staying with me all this time, and I don’t know what his crime is?”
When Empress Dowager Xiao saw that Yelv Guanyin was so protective of Jin Yongsan, the flames of jealousy in her heart burned uncontrollably. She simply wanted to cut this Korean into pieces immediately! However, he did not dare to do this in front of Yelu Guanyin. "Hmph, how dare you, a commoner, live in the princess's mansion? It's really abominable!"
Yelu Guanyin said angrily: "Brother Jin is my friend and will still be my man in the future. Why can't he live in the princess's house! This is my business and has nothing to do with the public. Why should Queen Mother Xiao bother?" Queen Mother Xiao was a little crazy. Huo Ran stood up, glared and shouted: "If I say no, it can't be done!" Pointing at Yang Peng, "You, you must move out of the princess mansion within today, otherwise I won't be able to spare you!"
Yang Peng was about to speak, but Yelv Guanyin said first: "Queen Mother, you are too arrogant! This is just my private matter, Queen Mother, you have no right to interfere!" Empress Dowager Xiao shouted: "I am your mother, or your Queen Mother, you You must listen to me!"
Yang Peng secretly tugged at Yelu Guanyin who was still trying to refute, took a step forward, cupped his fists and said: "The Queen Mother may have heard some people's slanderous remarks. The common people are just doing business with Her Royal Highness, and nothing else is involved. The grass-roots people are of low status and dare not have other delusions, and Her Royal Highness the Princess must look down on the grass-roots people..." Following Yang Peng's words, Queen Mother Xiao's expression softened significantly. However, at this moment, Yelu Guanyin glared at Yang Peng with some annoyance, and then said categorically to Empress Dowager Xiao: "What he said is wrong. Brother Jin has saved my life, and he has already shot the golden sparrow with an arrow." He’s my man!”
Yang Peng sighed secretly, Miss, can't you be a little more tactful? When Empress Dowager Xiao saw Yelu Guanyin's confession, her face turned blue and white with anger. She looked very ugly. She stared at Yang Peng, as if she wanted to eat him alive. I want to have an attack, but I don’t know how to do it. Yelu Guanyin said: "Since the Queen Mother has nothing serious to do, we will leave." Then he dragged Yang Peng out.
After the two of them left, Queen Mother Xiao screamed like an angry jackal. "I want to kill him! I must kill him!" Turning to look at Xiao Tianzuo, "You, find a way to get rid of this person for me!" Xiao Tianzuo was secretly happy and bowed: "I will not Disappoint His Majesty!"
Xiao Tianzuo left the palace and walked all the way to his home, thinking about how to get rid of Yang Peng. After returning home, the housekeeper came up to him with a worried look on his face and said, "Sorry, sir, the young master is seriously injured!" Xiao Tianzuo was taken aback and hurried to the backyard.
When I arrived at Xiao Ang's room, I was shocked to see Xiao Ang lying on the bed, covered in blood and looking pale. Han doctors were nervously rescuing him, and a servant was hurriedly bringing down a basin of blood. Xiao Tianzuo was shocked, "What, what is going on?"
When Xiao Ang saw his father, he was immediately excited and swallowed, "Father, father, it's terrible, it's terrible!" Xiao Tianzuo frowned. The doctor stood up and said softly to Xiao Tianzuo: "The young master's injury is not serious." Xiao Tianzuo stepped forward, sat on the edge of the bed, frowned and asked: "What happened? Didn't you go to rob and kill that Korean?" A caravan? How could it be like this?"
Xiao Ang swallowed, and then slowly told what happened just now. "I followed my father's instructions and felt that I saw my third uncle in Beiying and conveyed my father's wishes. Since my third uncle couldn't leave for the time being, he handed me a thousand warriors. I immediately led the thousand warriors to catch up. The Korean caravan." After a pause, "We caught up with them near the post station more than sixty miles away in the south. Then I led the cavalry to charge against them. But, but..." At this point , Xiao Ang became very excited, "They are so powerful! They are all skilled in archery and fighting, and they know everything about attacking, killing, and defending. Our army failed to break through their defense line, but they were killed in the middle. The sky was full of them. The swords were flying, and the men and horses were chopped down one by one. Then, they sent hundreds of horses to outflank them from both sides. Our army couldn't resist and was rushed to pieces. At this time, I was shot by an arrow. A cavalryman escaped with desperate protection!"
Xiao Tianzuo couldn't believe it, "How is this possible? A Korean businessman, his men are so brave and good at fighting? My thousand Liao warriors were beaten to pieces? Is this possible?" "It's absolutely true, father! In Yi'er's opinion, the combat power of these people is probably comparable to that of the most elite Tielin Army in our army! Father, I feel that this Korean businessman is very suspicious! Not to mention a Korean businessman, he is a Korean businessman. The king is afraid that he will not be able to have such elite warriors!"
Xiao Tianzuo frowned and nodded. Then he comforted him: "You have a good rest, I will handle this matter." Xiao Ang nodded, feeling very tired, and couldn't help but close his eyes. Xiao Tianzuo came outside, called his cronies, and ordered: "Immediately send reliable people to Yanyun and Gaoli to investigate the details of Jin Yongsan." The cronies made a promise and retreated.
Yelv Guanyin returned home after meeting Xiao Yu. His wife immediately came forward and said mysteriously: "A distinguished guest is here?" Yelu Guanyin was stunned and hurriedly walked towards the study at the back. When he walked into the study, he saw a rough man dressed as a Liao nobleman standing in front of the bookshelf, flipping through books. Yelu Guanyin hurriedly came forward and bowed: "I don't know that Mr. I have arrived, so I'm sorry for my indifference!" The man put down the book and said with a smile, "It's okay!" Then he walked to the main seat and sat down. Yelu Guanyin actually stood respectfully. under.
The big man said: "The master received your surrender document and was very happy." Then he took out a yellow satin bag embroidered with an ocher flying dragon from his arms and handed it to Yelu Guanyin, "This is what the master gave to you." Yelu Yu Jian hurriedly stepped forward, took the bag with both hands respectfully, opened it, and took out a piece of silk full of words, with a scarlet seal stamped underneath the silk. Yelu Yujian saw the text on the silk that said, "After the incident is completed, Yelu Yujian is appointed to stay in Zhongjing Road." He was immediately overjoyed and quickly clasped his fists and bowed: "Thank you, sir, for your advice!"
The big man waved his hand, stood up, and walked to Yelu Yujian, "You don't have to thank me. If you want to thank me, just thank the master! But I have to say something ugly first. If you can't make any achievements, I'm afraid the master just wants to seal the title." You are a high-ranking official, but you cannot convince the civil and military officials!" Yelu Yujian said quickly: "I understand, I have already made a plan, and the management and security will be successful in one fell swoop!"
"Oh, let's hear it." One month from now will be the annual hunting period in Daliao, and the eldest princess is planning to attack Xiao Feng at that time..."
The night sky was very beautiful, and Yang Peng sat in a daze under the stars again.
A female guard from the Princess Mansion came over, looked at Yang Peng curiously, and performed the Liao people's breast pressing etiquette, "Young Master, Your Highness the Princess invites you." Yang Peng withdrew his thoughts, stood up, and followed the woman The guards left.
When I came to the study, I saw Yelu Guanyin who was still working hard for Daliao. The female guard reported: "Your Highness, Mr. Jin is here." Yelu Guanyin raised her head and saw Yang Peng. A moving smile immediately bloomed on her beautiful face, "Brother, are you here?" Yang Peng nodded with a smile. nodded. Yelv Guanyin stepped back and frowned slightly: "I followed my elder brother's reminder and sent my close associates to secretly investigate everyone in the house, and sure enough I found the traitor." A very angry look appeared on her pretty face, "I didn't expect that there were actually people under my command. Eat it inside and out!"
Yang Peng smiled and said: "There are always people who can be bribed. This is not surprising." Yelu Guanyin said harshly: "I will never let them off lightly, I will make them pay for their betrayal!"
Yang Peng nodded, "That should be the case. But I think there is no rush for the time being and we can make use of them." Yelv Guanyin was stunned for a moment, then understood what Yang Peng meant, nodded with a smile, and then started to think about it.
Yang Peng said with emotion: "The burden of a country is on your shoulders, it's really hard for you!" Yelu Guanyin shook his head, "I only hate that my strength is not enough!" Yang Peng smiled slightly, feeling in his heart I admire this noble and beautiful woman very much.
Seeing Yang Peng staring at her, Yelu Guanyin couldn't help laughing and asked: "Brother, why are you looking at me like this?" Yang Peng saw that her smile was as beautiful as a flower, and he couldn't help saying: "My little sister is beautiful and fragrant, and my eldest brother is so beautiful." I can't help myself!" Yelu Guanyin smiled brightly, and then said domineeringly: "When this important matter is completed, I will marry the eldest brother!" Yang Peng said, "But, there is no letter from my family yet!" Yelv Guanyin snorted. , "I don't care! Anyway, we will hold the wedding as soon as this important event is over! Regardless of whether the eldest brother agrees or not, I have already decided!"
Yang Peng smiled bitterly and said: "Others are robbing civilian women, but you, little sister, are robbing civilian men!" Yelv Guanyin raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the matter? I can't let you run away!" What else could Yang Peng say? What, I can only smile bitterly.
Yelu Guanyin walked up to Yang Peng, hugged Yang Peng's tiger body, kissed Yang Peng's lips, and said eagerly: "I really hope that day comes soon!" Yang Peng couldn't help but hugged Yelu Guanyin's soft body. Yao, smiled evilly and said: "Actually, we can get married now!"
Yelu Guanyin was very moved, but then she shook her head regretfully and said, "No, I still have a lot of things to deal with tonight!" If Yang Peng continues to tease, Yelu Guanyin will definitely give up everything to become a match with him, but After all, Yang Peng felt a little guilty. Seeing what Yelu Guanyin said, he stopped teasing her.
"I almost forgot!" Yelv Guanyin suddenly said, looking up at Yang Peng, "Tomorrow is my sister-in-law's birthday, I want you to come with me to wish her birthday!" Yang Peng asked curiously: "You have a sister-in-law? Yelv Guanyin nodded, frowned and said, "My sister-in-law and I have the best relationship. My sister-in-law has had a very hard life. She was given a marriage to a chief more than ten years ago, but before she left, the chief was imprisoned because of civil strife. Kill her. Since then, my sister-in-law has been living as a widow in a manor outside the city."
Yang Peng asked incomprehensibly: "Why doesn't she marry again?" Yelu Guanyin wrinkled her beautiful nose, "My sister-in-law, she is actually very arrogant! If it weren't for her father's imperial decree, it would be impossible for her to marry That Chief Hu’s!”
Yang Peng asked with a smile: "Then what kind of person does she want to marry? She definitely doesn't want to get married, right?" Yelu Guanyin smiled, "My sister-in-law has higher requirements than me! Not only must she be brave and unparalleled, , you also need to know how to play music, chess, calligraphy and painting! My sister-in-law once told me that only a civilized and military hero is worthy of her!"
Yang Peng sneered and said: "What a big tone!" Yelutri said quickly: "I think my sister-in-law is right. You haven't seen my sister-in-law, so you don't know. I think there may be no one in the world who has the appearance of my sister-in-law! She simply does not deserve to belong to the human world, just as a certain literati who admires my sister-in-law said, my sister-in-law is clearly a queen who violated the laws of heaven and was demoted to the mortal world!"
Yang Peng laughed and said, "It's too exaggerated!" Yelv Guanyin said angrily, "It's not an exaggeration. When you see it, you will know that everything I said is true!"
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
