The emperor seemed to have read Wang Yue's thoughts and said with a smile: "This King of Yan Yang Peng can be said to be invincible in the world with his martial arts. Even the first warrior of the Liao Kingdom, Yeqi Hucheng, was defeated by him! Alas, Even though we are enemies, I have to admire him! This King Yan is so powerful, but my little sister has fought with him more than once on the battlefield. Although she cannot defeat him, it is still difficult to tell the winner within dozens of moves. of!"
Wang Yue's eyes widened, "So powerful?!" The emperor smiled and nodded, "If Yang Peng is the best general in the world, then my little sister must be the unparalleled heroine in the world! Hey, In my country of Daliao, apart from the number one warrior Ye Qi Hucheng, I am afraid no one can defeat her!"
Wang Yue blinked and said, "Then, when the princess makes such a request, isn't it a disguised rejection?" The emperor nodded, "Absolutely! Hey, I hope a miracle happens!" Wang Yue was very surprised why the emperor was so eager to ask for it. I wanted to marry my sister off, I thought in my mind, but I didn’t ask.
Later that day, Wang Yue returned to the State Guesthouse. When I met Yang Peng, I was very happy to tell him what I had recommended to him today. Yang Peng was very surprised and quickly thanked him. Wang Yue said with a smile: "Eldest brother, there is no need to be polite to the younger brother!" Then he sighed and said with some annoyance: "His Majesty the Emperor was going to confer titles on the eldest brother and brother Jin Song on the spot, but some ministers came out to stop them, saying that they had neither merit nor merit. He has no reputation, and people are dissatisfied when he is suddenly awarded an official title!'. Your Majesty has no choice but to give up this plan! Brother, I'm really sorry, my little brother can't help with such a trivial matter!"
"Brother, please don't say that! As a brother, I am really grateful for your deep friendship!" Wang Yue said with a smile: "But eldest brother, don't be disappointed. There is still room for change in this matter, as long as eldest brother achieves good results in the Warriors Conference Results, I can assure you that your Majesty the Emperor will definitely put you to good use!"
Yang Peng murmured in his heart, clasping his fists and saying: "Thank you so much, brother!" "Brother, please don't say that! You and I, brothers, the younger brothers should plan for the older brother! The younger brother is very much looking forward to the elder brother's participation in the Warriors Conference. A blockbuster to raise my reputation in Korea!"
Yang Peng smiled and nodded. Yang Peng returned to his yard, saw Yelu Hanyu and Cheng Shijie, sat down, sighed, and said with a wry smile: "My brother from Korea actually ran to the emperor and recommended us to the emperor!" Yelu Hanyu and Cheng Shijie Startled, Yelu Hanyu frowned and said, "This is not a good thing! If you don't do it right, your identity will be exposed!"
Yang Peng waved his hand, "You don't have to worry about this now. But my Korean brother came up with another thing for me. He actually asked me to participate in the Warriors Conference!" Yelu Hanyu frowned and said, "This may also reveal my identity!" He glanced at Yang Peng and said, "Brother, you must not attend!"
Yang Peng nodded, "I understand. Don't worry too much about this. There is still nearly a month until the Warriors Conference. As long as we finish our work before then, we will not attend any Warriors Conference." The two of them clicked. nod. Yang Peng looked at Yelu Hanyu, "Little sister, you are a local snake here. In your opinion, is it possible to sneak into the palace and kill the emperor?"
Yelu Hanyu sat down next to Yang Peng, frowned and shook his head, "I'm afraid it's not feasible to sneak into the palace!"
"Why?" "There are two reasons. First, there are tens of thousands of imperial guards guarding the outside of the palace, and there are thousands of elite guards around the harem. It is difficult to sneak in silently. , once noticed by the guards, the alarm sounded, and tens of thousands of troops gathered. Although the secret guards could each defeat ten, in this case, the end of the entire army was still inevitable; secondly, even if they could sneak into the harem silently, I'm afraid There is no way to assassinate the emperor..."
Hearing this, Yang Peng and Cheng Shijie didn't understand. Yang Peng asked: "Why can't you kill the emperor even if you sneak in?" Yelu Hanyu smiled and said: "Brother, you have forgotten that the emperor has countless beauties in the harem!..."
Yang Peng and Cheng Shijie suddenly realized, Yang Peng nodded and said: "I understand what you mean, we can't determine where the emperor will sleep at night, so even if we sneak into the harem, it will be difficult to assassinate! From this point of view, the action plan of sneaking into the palace can be Ruled out! We can only wait for the emperor to leave the palace for the assassination! We have no way to know the emperor's itinerary. But one thing is certain, that is, one month later, the emperor will definitely leave the palace and go to the countryside to participate in the biennial event of the Khitans Warriors Conference. For now, this is our only chance! In fact, I originally planned to use this opportunity to ambush Ye Qian Longxu!"
Cheng Shijie said: "I think we should do it outside the city!" Yang Peng and Yelu Hanyu nodded. Yelu Hanyu said: "I agree! Do it outside the city to facilitate evacuation!" Looking at Yang Peng, "But the emperor's retinue must There are so many, and in addition there are countless officials, attendants and onlookers, all of which will become obstacles to the assassination!"
Yang Peng smiled and said: "In my opinion, this is the best time for an assassination!" He looked at Yelu Hanyu, "Do you still remember when I asked Qian Letian to smuggle a batch of goods to Zhongjing before we set off?" Yelu Hanyu nodded. He nodded, "I knew that incident must be related to this assassination operation! Tell me what's going on?" Yang Peng said with a smile: "You will know when the time comes!" Yelu Hanyu Bai Yang Peng glanced at him and said, "You're still trying to show off!"
His eyes turned back to Yan Jing. Princess Lihua was really bored in the princess mansion, so she changed into men's clothes at the instigation of the palace maid, and several people left the princess mansion. Princess Lihua came to the street and felt like a bird flying out of the cage. She was in an extremely comfortable mood. If there weren't so many people on the street, she would have screamed loudly. She was so happy! A few people were wandering around the streets, looking at the clay figures here, the masks over there, and some very novel things. Princess Lihua had never seen them before. After asking, she found out that they came from the far west. Rare goods shipped.
Time passed quickly, and it was noon before I knew it. Princess Lihua couldn't help but feel tired and hungry after playing around all morning, so a few people entered the nearest tavern and sat down around a table. The second brother came over quickly, bowed and asked, "What do you ladies want to order?"
Princess Lihua asked very unexpectedly: "How do you know that we are women?" The second brother chuckled, "Look what you said, no matter how much you disguise yourself, you can still recognize a beautiful girl like you!" Princess Lihua felt that the other party was speaking. He had a frivolous attitude and was immediately unhappy, shouting: "You are so bold, you dare to talk to me like this!" The younger brother was taken aback and quickly apologized, "Miss, please calm down, we usually talk like this, really. I don't know if this will offend the young lady!" Princess Lihua's anger subsided, "Forget it, bring me some delicious food!"
The waiter accompanied him and asked carefully: "I wonder what you want, Miss?" Princess Lihua thought for a moment, "I want to eat something lighter, so I'll have a 'Spring Flowers and Autumn Moon', a 'Leifeng Sunset', and another A pot of snow lotus ice tea will do." The waiter was stunned, not understanding what the other party was talking about.
Seeing that the waiter was still standing there stupidly, Princess Lihua said angrily: "What are you still standing here for?" The waiter smiled bitterly and said: "Auntie, you, what are you doing?" Princess Lihua was very surprised and said: "Isn't there such a simple thing?"
The waiter shook his head, "I've been running the bar for seven or eight years, and this is the first time I've heard someone order these dishes!" Princess Lihua said angrily: "Looking at your tavern, it's quite big. I didn't expect it to be so simple." There are no dishes at all, it’s really nothing!” The waiter curled his lips and said, “Miss, you’d better order some dishes that a kid can understand!” Princess Lihua thought for a while and asked a few more names, what? "Guang Hanyue", "Zhaojun goes out of the fortress", the waiter was even more confused. Princess Lihua couldn't help but said angrily: "Forget it, just bring some food!" When the waiter heard this, he felt like he was being pardoned, and he quickly responded and ran down.
Princess Lihua frowned slightly and said, "It's really strange, these ordinary dishes are not available!" A palace maid next to her whispered: "Princess, many things among the people are different from us." Princess Lihua was very puzzled.
At this time, a table of big men not far away were enjoying the wine and singing. One of them stood there with a wine glass and shouted loudly: "With pride in the sky, who can compete with me? With Qingfeng in hand, who can kill with one sword?" Dragon. When you compete in the Central Plains, you can show your true colors as a hero. When the wind blows in the world, you should swallow up the mountains and rivers!..."
Princess Lihua was startled, her eyes widened and she murmured: "This song is so domineering!" Then she looked at those people carefully and frowned. She felt that those big men were vulgar and wild, and they didn't look like heroes at all! I thought to myself: This song must not have been made by them. The person who made the song must be someone else. The person who can make this kind of song must be a great hero with the world in mind. Who could it be?
As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but stood up and walked over, clasping his fists and saying, "Brothers, please be polite!" A few big men had just finished singing and were pouring wine from a big bowl. When they heard someone coming to strike up a conversation, they all turned their heads. When they saw a delicate woman dressed as a man, their eyes lit up. One of the particularly strong men smiled and clasped his fists and said, "Is something wrong, girl?"
When Princess Lihua saw that the other party had also seen through her true identity, she couldn't help but feel that this elaborate disguise was of no use at all!
"I just heard some brothers singing extraordinary songs. I wonder who did it?" All the big men showed surprised expressions. The particularly strong man laughed and said: "The little girl is really ignorant. She can't even connect with us Yan." I don’t even know the songs that the king composed at the wedding!" Princess Lihua was greatly surprised, "This, this is King Yan's masterpiece?!" The big man nodded, "Exactly!" Princess Lihua subconsciously shouted: "This Impossible! How could he create such a song?!"
As soon as these words came out, several big men were unhappy. The particularly strong man said: "The little girl is ignorant! Don't you know that our King Yan is not only invincible in the world, but also very good at singing and poetry? All the so-called talents in the world Even if they are all tied together, they are not as good as one of King Yan’s little fingers!”
Yang Peng, Cheng Shijie, and Yelu Hanyu followed Han Jinxin to Han Jinxin's room in an inn. I saw two large wooden boxes piled in the room, just like the large wooden boxes that ordinary people use to carry clothes and sundries.
"Master, everything is here." Han Jinxin pointed to the wooden boxes and then opened both wooden boxes. On top of the thick straw and sawdust, there were packages of gunpowder wrapped in straw paper. Yelu Hanyu smiled and said: "It turns out to be gunpowder! With these things, assassination will be much easier!" Yang Peng smiled, picked up a pack of gunpowder, opened it, looked at it, nodded, and then repackaged the gunpowder. , put it back.
"Did it arouse the store's suspicion?" Chen Xiao asked Han Jinxin. Han Jinxin said: "We only said that they were clothes and cloth shipped from Goryeo, and the store had no suspicion at all!"
Yang Peng nodded, "Very good. This place must be carefully guarded, and someone must be there at all times, but it cannot attract other people's attention. If an unexpected situation arises, light the gunpowder." "Yes."
At the same time, in the princess's mansion, Yeli Guanyin received an uneasy report. According to this report, she had a vague feeling that someone was planning a conspiracy. Ye Qi Guanyin immediately summoned his trusted generals and ordered them to gather troops at the military camp outside the city and wait for orders. Several generals took the order and left.
Soon after, Yedi Guanyin arrived at the military camp outside the city, and then led his troops to inspect various military camps around the capital. What is she checking? She was investigating whether any troops had left the camp without authorization. They continuously investigated twenty-one military camps and found nothing unusual. It was not until dusk when they came to the twenty-second military camp to investigate that they made a discovery. There are a total of 20,000 soldiers and horses stationed in this military camp, all of whom surrendered to the Liao army. The leading general is Xiao Qian, the former Liao general. At this moment, Xiao Qian was missing, and at the same time, there were ten thousand soldiers and horses who were missing.
"You don't know where your general has gone?" Yedi Guanyin asked the deputy general with a cold face. The deputy general said quickly: "The villain really doesn't know! Two days ago, the general suddenly said that he had received an order from the top to perform a mission. The villain asked what the mission was, but the general scolded the villain for talking too much, and the villain didn't dare to ask anymore. . Soon after, the general led 10,000 troops and left."
"No more news since then?" The deputy general shook his head, "So far I haven't received any news from the general, and I don't know where he is or what he is doing." Qi Guanyin said: "If your general comes back, If there is any news, report it to me immediately at the Princess Mansion!" "Yes, I have remembered it." Ye Qi Guanyin glanced at the entire military camp, and then led his soldiers to leave. A few miles after leaving the military camp, Yedi Guanyin suddenly reined in his horse, and the army stopped.
Ye Qi Guanyin turned to Wolf Venom and said: "You lead a group of warriors to ambush nearby. If someone leaves the military camp, immediately send someone to follow them and see where they go and who they meet!" Wolf Venom responded and immediately He led his five hundred war cavalry and hid in the dense forest nearby; Ye Qi Guanyin and the others went to inspect the next military camp.
His eyes turned to the palace. More than a dozen royal families and generals who commanded troops abroad, including Brother Yegan Xiu and Yegan Hucheng, have returned to the capital and are preparing to participate in the Khitan tribe's biennial warrior ceremony. As night fell and the lanterns came on, Emperor Ye Qianlongxu held a banquet in the main hall to welcome them. At the banquet, people were drinking and drinking, and before they knew it, they were mesmerized by the dim light. Brother Yegan Xiu and Yegan Hucheng successively complained and went to the toilet.
The imperial concubine of Goryeo led only one of her confidants to the shade of the royal garden. The noble concubine of Goryeo asked the palace maid to stay here, while she herself got into the dark shade of the trees and came to an arch. He lowered his voice and asked into the arch: "Are you here?" Then he saw a dark figure quickly come in from the arch, took the plump and sexy body of Princess Goryeo into his arms, and kissed her without any explanation. Princess Goryeo’s red lips, Princess Goryeo responded enthusiastically.
After a while, Concubine Gao Li gently pushed the black shadow away and said angrily: "It's more important to talk about business!" The black shadow chuckled, "Everything is ready!" Concubine Gao Li asked worriedly: "Are you sure? ?" The black shadow said: "Nothing can be 100% sure, but I have planned this matter very carefully, and I should be 80% sure! Once successful, I will lead my troops into the palace immediately! It will be up to you then. That's it!" Concubine Gaoli stared at the man, "Don't worry about me, but you must keep your promise!"
The black shadow hugged the waist of the Concubine of Goryeo, "Of course I will keep my promise! Once I ascend the throne, I will definitely make you the queen and give half of the Central Plains to you, Goryeo! But you have to handle the edict. Okay, otherwise everything will be like a mirror in the mirror!" Concubine Gao Li smiled and said: "I'm ready for this!" Heiying was very surprised, "Really?!" Concubine Gao Li nodded, "I'm just waiting for you. If it succeeds, I can take action here! With your army and the emperor's edict, it won't work if the subjects of the Liao Kingdom are unwilling to obey!" The black shadow nodded and kissed the noble concubine of Gaoli on the cheek, "I have to go back to the front Otherwise, it will arouse others' suspicion! You must be extra careful and don't let the emperor find out the clues. Now is the last moment. Don't waste all your efforts at this moment!"
Concubine Goryeo nodded. The black figure let go of Concubine Goryeo's delicate hands and waist, turned around and slipped into the arch, disappearing into the thick night. The imperial concubine of Goryeo quickly came out from the shade of the trees and returned to the palace with the personal maid. Ye Qi Guanyin returned to the city in the middle of the night. As soon as she returned to the city, she hurried to the palace.
The Warriors Conference finally arrived. Early in the morning, Zhongjing was very lively inside and outside. Warriors from all over the country wearing various costumes and countless civilians were gathering towards the basin outside the city that was used as the competition venue.
Bang bang...! The sound of a huge gong clearing the way was heard, and people turned around and saw the royal flags coming like a cloud. Nearly a thousand guardsmen riding armored horses were clearing the way in front of them, majestic, followed closely by the emperor. The eight-horse dragon chariot. The curtains of the dragon chariot were hung heavily, and the situation inside could not be seen at all. This made people who wanted to see the dragon's face a little disappointed. After the dragon chariot, there were nearly a thousand guards and troops. After this team, there are countless maids, concubines and princesses in the harem, with beautiful cars and colorful clouds floating in the air, which is particularly eye-catching. Behind him were the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty. The people stepped aside one after another, looking at the huge team passing by with excitement and curiosity.
At this time, Yang Peng and the others were lurking in the crowd. Everyone was wearing black clothes under their coats, and their backpacks were filled with various weapons. The dragon chariot slowly came over and kept approaching Yang Peng and the others. Yang Peng winked at Cheng Shijie opposite, who put his hand into the backpack behind him and prepared to take out the bomb. According to the prior agreement, the explosion of the bomb was the signal for action.
call out! The whistling sound of loud arrows suddenly came from behind Yang Peng. Yang Peng was startled, and quickly followed the sound, and saw a troop of thousands of warriors suddenly appeared in front, waving scimitars and surging towards them. At the same time, on the other side of the official road, there were also thousands of warriors. Thousands of war cavalry rushed over. The incident happened suddenly, and most people had not yet reacted.
Yang Peng immediately realized that something had changed, quickly shook his head at Cheng Shijie, and then took out the yellow scarf and wrapped it around his head. This is also a pre-agreed signal. If unexpected circumstances arise and the operation is canceled, he will wear a yellow turban.
The surrounding secret guards saw the yellow turban and immediately gave up the idea of taking action. At this time, the two cavalrymen suddenly rushed into the crowd and slashed with their swords. Many people who did not understand what was going on died unexpectedly. The scene was in chaos, with the people shouting and running away, trampling on each other. The chaos reached the extreme, and the palace maidens and civil and military ministers were also in chaos.
Yang Peng and others followed the panicked people and ran toward the city gate. Chen Xiao looked back while running. I saw that the sudden army had smashed the royal team into pieces. Then, a guy who looked like a general boarded the dragon chariot, and then dragged out a corpse. Yang Peng couldn't help but wonder: Is that Ye Qian Longxu? Did he just die like that?
As if responding to Yang Peng, a deafening sound of cannons suddenly came from the surroundings, and then countless Liao warriors seemed to suddenly emerge from the ground, surrounding them from all directions. The attacker panicked and quickly broke out. A war broke out between the two sides. At this time, Yang Peng and the others had already followed the crowd and poured into the city gate. What happened next was unknown.
Yang Peng and Cheng Shijie met up and immediately returned to the State Guesthouse, while the others returned to their respective inns. Yang Peng and Cheng Shijie hurried back to the State Guesthouse, only to find that Yelu Hanyu hadn't come back yet. Yang Peng immediately became worried. According to the previous arrangement, Yelu Hanyu prepared horses to meet them in the valley not far from the incident site. Now she is involved in the war! ?
Yang Peng was worried that Yelu Hanyu was in danger, so he immediately went out to search for him. At this moment, Yelu Hanyu came back unexpectedly. Yang Peng was overjoyed and hugged Yelu Hanyu. Yelu Hanyu smiled and said: "Are you worried that I will be in danger?" Yang Peng let go of Yelu Hanyu and was about to speak, but saw the Jin sisters coming out, so he changed his words: "There was an assassination incident, I'm really worried You were involved!" Yelu Hanyu glanced at the Jin sisters not far away, looked back, and said happily: "I am so happy to see my eldest brother so worried!" Yang Peng said angrily. He glared at Yelu Hanyu.
Yang Peng took Yelu Hanyu's hand and turned towards the room. When passing by the Jin sisters, he ordered: "Go and prepare some tea and snacks for us." The two sisters responded and hurried down.
Yang Peng, Yelu Hanyu, and Cheng Shijie walked into the room and sat down each. Yang Peng asked Yelu Hanyu: "Those horses are still in the valley?" Yelu Hanyu nodded and frowned: "The incident happened suddenly and there was no time to move. Those horses were afraid that they would be discovered." Yang Peng said decisively: "Those horses No need!" Yelu Hanyu said: "I think so too. After the officers and soldiers discover the horses, they are most likely to ambush on the spot, waiting for us to fall into a trap!"
Yang Peng nodded, and then asked curiously: "Little sister, how did you escape from danger? Judging from your position, it seems that you cannot get back in time?"
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
