Yang Peng smiled and said to the two sisters: "You'd better go back." The two women glanced at Yang Peng with pale faces. The elder sister shook her head and said: "We, we are not afraid." Then she took her sister's hand and headed towards the cupboard. Gone.
Yang Peng looked at their backs and sighed. Yelu Hanyu bumped Yang Peng with his shoulder and asked jealously: "Do you think she is very considerate?" Yang Peng chuckled, "I think you are the most considerate!" Yelu Han Yu couldn't help laughing and rolled her eyes at Yang Peng, "You will make me happy!" Yang Peng hugged Yelu Hanyu's slender waist, put his mouth to her ear, smiled mischievously and whispered: "Actually, Brother, I am also very considerate!" Yelu Hanyu was stunned for a moment, then understood, and looked at Yang Peng with a blushing face, looking very emotional.
The building boat continued to go upstream along the Yalu River. The next morning, the building boat docked, and two fast horses galloped towards Zhengzhou City carrying Wang Yue's autographed letter. Then the building boat left the shore and continued its journey. A day later, they entered the Boiling Water, a tributary of the Yalu River. At this time, there was the sound of horse hooves on the shore. Following the sound, they saw nearly a thousand Liao Kingdom war cavalry approaching from the upper reaches of the Boiling Water. The leader was a middle-aged officer, and the two Goryeo warriors sent out a day ago were also among them. The officer reined in his horse and shouted loudly into the river: "I am Lu Hulun, the garrison officer of Zhengzhou, and I would like to send my regards to His Royal Highness the little prince!" Then Wang Yue came out of the cabin surrounded by everyone and said loudly: "Thank you for your hard work, general." !”
Lu Hulun raised his voice and said: "Your Highness, you're welcome! The general will escort you along the river bank. If there is an emergency, your highness can send a signal rocket to notify the general!" "General, I have a job!" "The general will not take it! Your Highness is a relative of the noble concubine, and it is your duty to escort your Highness to the end!"
Then the boat sailed in the water and the cavalry walked on land, heading for Zhengzhou together. Half a day later, we arrived at Zhengzhou City on the west bank of Boliushui, which is now Tonghua City. Zhengzhou Zhizhou has already led his Yamen staff to welcome the grand arrival at the dock.
After a lot of pretentious red tape, Zhizhou welcomed Wang Yue and others into the city. There was no doubt a feast that night, with lots of drinking, singing and dancing, and it was quite lively.
Early the next morning, Zhengzhou Zhizhou sent garrison officer Lu Hulun to continue leading a thousand war cavalry to escort Wang Yue and his party. The group traveled westward by land and arrived at Yinzhou, which is now Tieling City, one day later. Lu Hulun and others bid farewell to Wang Yue here and returned to Zhengzhou. All the officials in Yinzhou inevitably came out to greet them, and the group stayed here for another night. The next morning, the Zhizhou of Yinzhou arranged for them to board a building boat and go upstream along the Liao River until they arrived at Dading Mansion in Zhongjing.
Seeing this familiar city in front of him, Yelu Hanyu felt as if he had been in another world, and the past events came to his mind.
The building boat gradually approached the pier, and the atmosphere in the air gradually became lively. Merchant ships gathered on the water, and the docks were crowded with people and goods. As the central city of the Liao Kingdom and even the entire northern region, Dadingfu seemed very prosperous. It could be said that it was indistinguishable from Yanjing and Lin'an in the south. Different from Yanjing and Bianjing, people wearing Hanfu here have become very rare. At a glance, most of them are men and women in nomadic costumes. There are also many people wearing Goryeo costumes and Japanese costumes. There are many blond, blue-eyed, Westerners with exotic accents. Here, it seems to be more international than in the Song Dynasty!
A group of people got off the boat. Yang Peng originally planned to separate from Wang Yue here, but he couldn't resist Wang Yue's repeated pleas and had to stay in the State Guesthouse with him. Wang Yue took great care of Yang Peng and the others, allowing the six of them to live in a separate courtyard.
"Brother, we want to go out and watch the excitement." Yang Peng said to Wang Yue. Wang Yue smiled and said: "Brother, go ahead. This Zhongjing is very prosperous and it is indeed worth a visit! It's just that I can't accompany my brother today. I must go to the palace to pay homage to your majesty and greet my sister!" Yang Peng said with a smile: "We brothers can do whatever we want. OK!" Wang Yue smiled and nodded.
Yang Peng and others said goodbye to Wang Yue and went out. Wang Yue turned to Wang Er and asked, "Are all the gifts ready?" "Already." "Very good, follow me into the palace."
Yang Peng and others came out of the State Guesthouse and wandered around the bustling streets for a while. Suddenly, they discovered that there was a new contact signal engraved on the pillar outside the pub next to the street. Yang Peng winked at the other people, and then six people walked in immediately. The waiter hurriedly came up to him, bowed his waist and asked, "Are the guests drinking?" Yang Peng's eyes searched the lobby, but he did not find the expected target. The waiter said to the waiter: "Brother, we have agreed to meet with our friends here. They are Koreans like us. I wonder if the waiter has seen it?" The waiter thought for a while and immediately pointed to the stairs, "Upstairs But there is a Korean man who seems to have been waiting here for the past two days!"
Yang Peng cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, little brother!" Then he led several others upstairs. When I came upstairs, I quickly glanced around and saw a samurai wearing Goryeo costume sitting at the window. He was a secret guard under Han Jinxin. Yang Peng and others couldn't help but feel happy and walked over quickly.
Seeing someone suddenly coming, the secret guard quickly raised his head and saw Yang Peng and the others. His face was filled with joy. He quickly stood up and clasped his fists and said: "Master!" Yang Peng sat down and gestured: "Don't stand there, sit down." !" The secret guards quickly sat down, Yelu Hanyu and Cheng Shijie sat on either side of Yang Peng, and the other three secret guards sat at the next table.
Yang Peng asked: "Are you all here?" "You are all here. We brothers are taking turns waiting here for the master." "Where is Han Jinxin now?" "Everyone is living in inns and taverns. Captain Han lives in a nearby inn. ." "Go and call him immediately. We will wait for him here."
The secret guard responded and left in a hurry. Yang Peng called the waiter and ordered some food and wine. Then several people were eating and drinking while waiting. After a while, rapid footsteps were heard from the other side of the stairs. It was Han Jinxin and several secret guards arriving. When Han Jinxin and others saw Yang Peng and the others, they couldn't help but be very happy and hurried over. When he came to Yang Peng, he was about to salute, but Yang Peng took the initiative and shouted in a low voice: "Don't salute, sit down and talk." Han Jinxin sat down opposite Yang Peng, and the others sat at the adjacent table.
"Master, hundreds of our brothers have all arrived, not a single one is missing." Yang Peng nodded, "We live in the State Guesthouse. You send someone here to drink every day, and I will send someone here to drink every day. In order to keep in touch." Han Jinxin nodded, and then asked: "Master, can we take action?"
Yang Peng thought for a while, "You just monitor the movements in the palace first, and don't do anything else. If I have any plans, I will inform you." "Yes."
The two chatted for a few more words, and then Han Jinxin and others stood up and left. Yang Peng and others continued to eat, drink and chat. At this time, a table of guests not far away were discussing the upcoming Warriors Conference. "I heard that not only domestic warriors will participate in the conference this time, but also many warriors from foreign races will also come to participate in the conference!" A middle-aged man in black clothes said to his companions as if offering a treasure. A middle-aged man in gray clothes next to him smiled and said: "Who doesn't know! Our country of Liao is now dominating the grassland and dominates the world. Naturally, the people around us hope to win a birth in our country of Liao!"
The middle-aged man in black waved his hand, "What you said is not entirely right! There is actually another reason why this Warriors Conference attracted so many people! I think you don't know!" The middle-aged man in gray said unconvincedly. : "I don't believe there can be any special reason!" The middle-aged man in black said with a smile: "I said you don't know! Let me tell you, the reason why this Warriors Conference can attract so many foreigners to participate is because This time the winner will be the husband of Princess Yeyi Guanyin! You know it!" Several companions showed great surprise, and the middle-aged man in gray clothes said in disbelief: "How can such a thing happen!" The man in black clothes said Seeing that the other party didn't believe it, the young man became anxious and said, "I'm not talking nonsense. My nephew who is a guard in the palace said it. This matter has not been made public yet, but it is definitely true!"
"If this is true, then whoever wins the title of No. 1 Warrior will become famous! Marrying Ye Qi Guanyin is equivalent to marrying half of the Liao Kingdom!!" One person exclaimed. The others nodded in sympathy, looking very envious. Then several people began to discuss who might win the first warrior title.
"It seems that in this Warriors Conference, all parties will compete for their heads!" Yang Peng said teasingly. Yelu Hanyu was silent and absent-minded, not knowing what he was thinking about.
After a while, several people checked out and left. On the way back to the hotel, Yang Peng saw that Yelu Hanyu looked depressed and had not spoken a word. He also thought of how depressed she had been in the restaurant just now, so he couldn't help but ask, "Little sister, what's wrong with you?" Yelu Hanyu sighed. He took a breath and said, "The country is still the same, but the personnel are completely different!" Yang Peng understood that she was lamenting the pain of leaving the country, and comforted: "We will regain this place one day!" Yelu Hanyu nodded heavily, with eyes shooting out. Come the steady light. He turned to Yang Peng and said, "Brother, I want to go visit my house!" Yang Peng nodded, "Okay, I'll go with you."
Several people came outside the former princess's house. Everything here is completely the same as before. The pavilions in the Princess Mansion are still the same, and the vegetation is still the same, but it has changed to a new owner; the Princess Mansion is still the Princess Mansion, and the person living here should be a princess from the Liao Kingdom.
Yelu Hanyu looked at the high attic in the princess's mansion and couldn't help but smile: "Brother, do you still remember the scene when you shot the golden sparrow head?" Yang Peng smiled and nodded, "I will never forget it in my life! I was still I thought my sister-in-law just wanted to test my martial arts skills, but I didn't expect that she was actually choosing a husband!" Yelu Hanyu looked at Yang Peng tenderly and couldn't help but hold Yang Peng's hand tightly.
With a loud creaking sound, the gate of the Princess Mansion suddenly opened, and a group of heroic female guards wearing leather armor and red robes came out on horseback, came to the foot of the steps, and lined up to wait. A moment later, a particularly eye-catching female general came out of the gate surrounded by several female guards. The female general was dressed in black iron armor and a scarlet cloak. Her hair was tied with green silk into a bun, with a pheasant tail stuck across the bun. She was stunningly beautiful, yet as cold as ice. She was clearly an unparalleled beauty, but she had a chilly look on her face. A chilling atmosphere. She was none other than the princess of the Liao Kingdom, Ye Qi Guanyin, who had fought against Yang Peng countless times.
Yang Peng, Yelu Hanyu, and Cheng Shijie were all startled and turned sideways subconsciously. Ye Qi Guanyin climbed onto the rouge horse and said, "Let's go!" and the group walked towards the palace. Inadvertently, Ye Qi Guanyin saw a Korean, and couldn't help being stunned, and then shook his head mockingly.
After Ye Qi Guanyin had gone far away, Yang Peng said in an unbelievable tone: "I didn't expect it was her!" Yelu Hanyu said coldly: "This is called enemies on a narrow road!"
On the other side, Wang Yue met with Emperor Ye Qian Longxu and the noble concubine of Goryeo in the harem garden, and presented many precious Goryeo specialties. The emperor was very happy and made Wang Yue the Prince of Liao on the spot. Wang Yue was overjoyed and quickly thanked her. Concubine Gaoli also stood up and thanked her. The emperor helped the imperial concubine up, patted the back of her hand, and said softly: "What the imperial concubine loves is what I love!"
At this time, a chamberlain came over quickly and said: "Your Majesty, the princess is outside asking to see you!" Ye Qian Longxu said to the imperial concubine and Wang Yue: "You two, sister and brother, have a good time catching up with old times. I will come as soon as I go!" The two of them hurriedly bowed: "Best farewell to Your Majesty!" Ye Qian Longxu followed the chamberlain and left.
The two siblings stood up. The imperial concubine of Goryeo stepped back and walked into a waterside pavilion in the imperial garden with her younger brother Wang Yue and sat down. "Has your father received my letter?" Concubine Goryeo asked. Wang Yue nodded, "I got it. But my father has some scruples about it." Concubine Gaoli frowned, "Oh? Why?"
"My father and the ministers think this way. Since the 50,000 naval troops of the Liao Kingdom were completely wiped out by the Yanyun Navy, even though our Goryeo Navy is powerful, it is difficult to be sure of victory. If the war becomes stalemate, or even our army is defeated, I'm afraid it will give the Japanese an opportunity to take advantage of us!"
Concubine Goryeo frowned and said: "I finally won this from Your Majesty, do I have to give up like this?" She raised her head and said, "Everything in the world has risks, and there is no way to gain huge benefits without taking risks. Risk? This risk is worth taking! If we can defeat the Yanyun naval army, then we can help the Liao army's land division attack Yanyun. Once successful, then the Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture and Shandong area will all belong to our great Goryeo. It’s in the palm of my hand! This is undoubtedly a crucial step for our Huangtu hegemony in Goryeo!”
Wang Yue nodded with deep sympathy, "That's what I said, but my father is still a little worried!" Concubine Gaoli frowned and said: "My father is really old!" Wang Yue said with emotion: "Yes, my father. I no longer have any ambition, and I am always afraid of wolves and tigers in everything! But I don’t know how many scruples can lead to great things?!”
Concubine Goryeo thought: "I still need to write a letter!" She raised her head and glanced at Wang Yue, "You bring it to my father for me!" "Yes!" Wang Yue responded respectfully, and then said worriedly: "My brother is really I'm worried about whether I can return to Goryeo with my life!" The noble concubine of Goryeo asked puzzledly: "What do you mean by this?" Wang Yue then told about the assassination on the road. When the noble concubine of Goryeo heard about this, she was furious, "How dare you dare to touch my own brother! Do you know who did it?"
Wang Yue frowned and shook his head, "I don't know. I'm afraid it's possible for my brothers and uncles!"
Concubine Goryeo snorted coldly, "Aren't they doing this because they are afraid that you will get my support and eventually sit on the throne of the king? They are destined to be disappointed!" Looking at Wang Yue, "You don't have to worry about safety issues, I will ask you Your Majesty sent an elite team to escort you back to your country, and kept this elite team by your side as your helper!" Wang Yue was overjoyed and quickly stood up to thank you. Concubine Gaoli waved her hand, "You don't have to be so alienated from your elder sister! If I don't help you, who else can I help?" Wang Yue looked very touched.
Princess Goryeo looked up into the distance and murmured: "Since we were born in such a family and in such an era, our lives are destined to be extraordinary! We, the two siblings, must create a powerful empire that the world will look up to and worship. ! Let people still stand in awe when they hear our names for thousands of generations!" Wang Yue showed excitement. His sister's ideal is obviously his ideal.
Concubine Goryeo turned her head and asked: "You just said that thanks to the help of a few Goryeo warriors, you were able to save yourself from danger?" Wang Yue nodded and said excitedly: "Their bravery is really shocking in ancient and modern times! My brother thinks that I'm afraid no one in the world can be their opponent!" Concubine Gaoli smiled and said: "I'm afraid my brother is exaggerating!" Wang Yue said quickly: "Everything my brother said is true! My sister has not seen it with her own eyes, so it is normal to have this question. If my sister saw their power with her own eyes, she would definitely have the same opinion as my brother!"
The Concubine of Goryeo didn't care much and said: "Since they are talents, you have to win over them!" Wang Yue said with a smile: "This time when my brother comes, I will ask my sister to recommend them two in front of His Majesty!" "Oh? You? What exactly is the plan? If my recommendation is successful, wouldn’t they become generals of the Liao Kingdom, so what use would they be to you?”
"That's what my brother planned. If it doesn't succeed, they will owe him a huge favor and they will definitely be grateful. If he recruits me again then, there is absolutely no reason why it won't succeed. If the recommendation succeeds, hehe, just please Sister, let them be the commanders of the elite Liao army and return to Goryeo with my brother."
Concubine Gao Li smiled, "Brother, I didn't expect you to be quite cunning! With your thoughts like this, they will definitely not be able to escape from your grasp!" Then she frowned, "But, you spend so much money Is it worth focusing on them?"
"Absolutely worth it!" Concubine Gao Li smiled, "That's not necessarily true. After all, you haven't seen many powerful generals!" Wang Yue wanted to defend, but Concubine Gao Li raised her hand to interrupt him, "I have an idea. Okay. Let these warriors in your mind go to the Warriors Conference. In this way, you can see their true level! If they are indeed worthy of reuse, it will not be too late to reuse them. And if they are promoted after participating in the Warriors Conference, Your Majesty will do the same. If you do something, there won't be any objections in the court." Wang Yue thought and nodded. He thought his sister's idea was very good. Although he thought Kanazawa Jinsong and the others were very powerful, what level do they have in the world? , he still has no idea in his heart. Through this meeting of warriors of the Daliao Empire, he will definitely be able to see their truest level.
Concubine Gao Li smiled teasingly: "I'm afraid that they will be embarrassed! It doesn't matter if they are embarrassed, but it will make you, my sister and my brother look bad!"
"Well, that shouldn't happen!" The emperor came over, and the maids outside the waterside pavilion paid their respects one after another. The two siblings stopped talking and stood up to greet them. The emperor walked into the waterside pavilion and asked with a smile: "What did you talk about?" The noble concubine of Goryeo said: "Let's just talk about some things about my hometown. Your Majesty, my concubine's brother brought some Goryeo warriors and wanted to participate. The Warriors Conference will reveal their origins!" The emperor smiled and said: "Why do they need to attend the Warriors Conference? Can't I just give them an official position?" Wang Yue was very surprised when he saw the emperor talking like this. Only at this time did he feel the emperor's feelings firsthand. How do you love your sister.
The Concubine of Goryeo said sternly: "If you do this, you will definitely not be able to convince the public! I never want to embarrass Your Majesty, so it is better to let them participate in the Warriors Conference!" The emperor was filled with emotion and held the delicate hand of the Concubine of Goryeo, "My beloved concubine is not only You are as beautiful as a fairy, and you are also virtuous and sensible. With you by my side, I will have no regrets in this life!" The Concubine of Goryeo said softly: "Being able to serve Your Majesty is my blessing from my previous life!" The emperor laughed.
Concubine Gao Li remembered something, "Has Your Majesty finished speaking to the eldest princess?" The emperor nodded and sighed, "My sister is really giving me a headache!" Concubine Gao Li smiled and said: "The princess is brave and resourceful. He has made countless contributions to the Liao Empire, why does Your Majesty still have a headache?"
The emperor waved his hand, then walked to a seat and sat down. "Hey, this little sister of mine is fine in other aspects, but her personal problems really worry me too much! Tell him that she won't do anything to anyone! She is arrogant and arrogant, and she is afraid that no man in the world can like her. !” Concubine Goryeo smiled and said: “If she were not His Majesty’s sister, this matter would be easier to handle! When it comes to heroes in the world, who can be better than Your Majesty? If the princess was not His Majesty’s sister, she would be very willing to marry His Majesty! "
The emperor laughed and looked very happy, "But fortunately, he finally agreed to give the winner of this warrior conference a chance!" "What do you mean by giving a chance? Shouldn't you marry the first warrior directly?" Concubine Goryeo asked puzzledly. The emperor smiled bitterly and shook his head, "What she means is that the number one warrior has to compete with her. Only if he can beat her can he become her husband! Hey, I'm really worried!"
Wang Yue heard what the emperor said and couldn't help but asked: "Your Majesty, is the princess's martial arts very strong?" The emperor nodded seriously, "Very strong!" He glanced at Wang Yue and said, "Have you ever heard of King Yan? Yang Peng, right?" Wang Yue nodded, murmuring in his heart: Does this have anything to do with King Yan?
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
