Yelu Hanyu said: "Early this morning, according to the previous agreement, we took more than two hundred horses to the valley to wait for you..." Yang Peng and the others bought more than two hundred horses from the market. In the Liao Kingdom, it was very easy to buy horses, and there were markets everywhere.
"Shortly after we entered the valley, we suddenly found a cavalry quietly coming towards the valley. We thought they were coming towards us and hurriedly hid in the woods behind the valley. The cavalry of several thousand people came in After that, they did not search, but were waiting for something quietly. At this time, I understood that they were definitely not coming for us. They appeared so strangely, and their purpose might be the same as ours! Thinking of this, I He immediately became worried and asked everyone to tie their horses in the woods, and then left the valley from the back. ..." At this time, there were footsteps outside the door, and Yelu Hanyu immediately stopped narrating.
As soon as the door became dark, the Jin sisters came in with tea and snacks. Putting down the snacks and tea, he stood there waiting for further instructions from his master. Yang Peng smiled and said: "You have nothing to do here. You can go down and rest!" The two sisters responded and retreated.
When the footsteps were no longer heard, Yelu Hanyu continued: "We originally wanted to rush over to inform you of the situation, but we didn't expect that the unknown army had already launched an attack before we found you in the crowd. !" Smiled, "Almost at the same time, I saw your yellow turban, and immediately followed you into the city gate. It's a shame that I called you so many times, but you didn't even hear me!" Yang Peng He chuckled, and then thought: "This matter is interesting! It seems that there are people in the Liao Kingdom who also want Ye Qian Longxu to die!"
"Who do you think the elder brother is?" Cheng Shijie asked curiously. Yang Peng shook his head, "Without any supporting evidence, this is really difficult to judge. I'm afraid it's possible for those in the Liao royal family who have heavy troops!" Then he frowned, although he thought that this matter was different from those of the Liao royal family. The princes are inseparable from each other, but there are some doubts about it.
Yelu Hanyu said: "The princes of the Liao Kingdom are undoubtedly the most likely messengers, but there is a big problem. None of the princes of the Liao Kingdom is powerful enough to dominate the entire situation of the Liao Kingdom. , and most people should still be loyal to the emperor! This matter will eventually be exposed, because his purpose of regicide is nothing more than to seize power, but no matter who does this, I am afraid there will be no way to deal with the consequences, and he will not be able to resist the other princes at all The crowds attack!"
Yang Peng thought: "Unless he is sure that others will not attack him..." Cheng Shijie said in disbelief: "How is this possible?!" "No, it is possible!" Yelu Hanyu said. He and Yang Peng looked at each other, as if they had seen each other's thoughts, and couldn't help but smile. Yang Peng smiled and said, "It seems that my little sister is thinking the same thing as me!" Yelu Hanyu said with a smile, "This is the so-called 'heart-to-heart communication'!"
Cheng Shijie was confused. By this time, the fighting outside the city had ended. Most of the attackers were either killed or captured. Only a few hundred escaped and were pursued by cavalry.
Yeqi Guanyin stood on a hill with a stern expression, looking at the tragic scene of corpses strewn in the field before her. The Bone Governor came on horseback, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, the enemy has basically been wiped out. Only a few hundred people fled towards the northwest. Hu Nu has already led his warriors to pursue them!"
"Have you been caught alive?" "Yes!" Then the Bone Governor shouted from behind: "Bring them up!" Then dozens of cavalrymen came over with six officers-looking guys, and pulled them together. Push to the ground. The six people knelt on the ground and glanced at the towering Yeqi Guanyin with great fear and uneasiness.
Ye Qi Guanyin said coldly: "To be honest, you may survive, otherwise you will die!" The six people couldn't help but swallow.
"Who are you?" Yedi Guanyin asked. The six people were very hesitant and silent. Ye Qi Guanyin winked at the Bone Governor, who understood and immediately stepped forward, swung his machete and killed one of them. The remaining five people were so frightened that they kowtowed and begged for mercy.
Ye Qi Guanyin asked coldly: "Who are you?" The five people rushed to say: "We are the army under General Xiao Qian!" Ye Qi Guanyin frowned, "Sure enough, it is him!" Looking at the five people , "Who ordered you to assassinate the emperor?" The five people looked at each other one after another, and one of them said: "We don't know the specific things. We only know that it is, it is,..." "What is it?" Then The person glanced at Ye Qi Guanyin and said, "We only know that the person who gave the order to the general was a king!" Ye Qi Guanyin was startled, "Who is it?" The five people shook their heads together, and the person who just answered her said: " The general never told us about this matter! In fact, we didn’t know until yesterday that General Xiao led us to assassinate the emperor. Before, we thought General Xiao had received orders from His Majesty to perform some mission! "
Ye Qi Guanyin asked some more questions. Seeing that he couldn't find anything new, he ordered the bone governor to take them to the prison and temporarily imprison them. The Bone Governor took the order, and the commanding sergeants took the five prisoners down.
Yang Peng, Cheng Shijie, came to the inn, saw Han Jinxin, and asked, "Have all our people been evacuated?" Han Jinxin nodded, "Master, don't worry, everyone has evacuated safely!" Yang Peng felt relieved and warned: "The situation is very strange now. Please don't go to the streets, don't take any action, and wait for my order." "Yes!"
Yang Peng and Cheng Shijie came out of the inn. At this time, groups of troops were walking back and forth on the street, and pedestrians were hurriedly returning home. The atmosphere was extremely tense. An officer galloped past on horseback and shouted loudly: "The whole city is under martial law, everyone goes home immediately!" Yang Peng Cheng Shijie hurriedly returned to the State Guesthouse. As soon as he came back, he met Wang Yue, the prince of Goryeo. Wang Yue had just returned from the palace, looking very uneasy. As soon as they saw Yang Peng and Cheng Shijie, they hurriedly greeted them, "Brother, brothers Jin Song, you are finally back!"
Yang Peng pretended to be puzzled and asked: "Why did it suddenly become so tense outside?" Wang Yue looked solemn and said: "Something happened! Just now, rebels attacked the emperor's car! The whole city is now under martial law. , searching for traitors!"
Yang Peng asked in surprise: "Who is so bold?!" Wang Yue shook his head, "Apart from those princes with military power, who else could it be! I really don't know what this incident will eventually turn into! "
Ye Qian Guanyin hurried back to the palace and reported the progress of the matter to Emperor Ye Qian Longxu. Ye Qian Longxu looked sternly and said to Ye Qian Guanyin: "I will give you the full responsibility for this matter. You must get to the bottom of this matter! I will never forgive the conspirator behind the scenes!" Ye Qian Guanyin responded. With a cry, he retreated.
Ye Qian Longxu returned to the palace of the noble concubine of Goryeo. The noble concubine of Goryeo immediately came forward to greet him. Seeing the resentment on the emperor's face, she couldn't help but feel uneasy. Ye Qian Longxu sat down, frowned and said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect that someone actually wanted to murder me! If the imperial sister hadn't discovered the clues in time, my life would have been in the hands of these traitors today! "Your Majesty, your Majesty, who are you talking about?"
Ye Qian Longxu shook his head, "I don't know! We don't know who is behind it yet! It was Xiao Qian and the troops under Xiao Qian who launched the raid today. From this, it seems that someone other than Liao was behind it." , he is my brother and nephew!" He raised his head and saw the very uneasy look of Concubine Gaoli. He thought that he had scared her, so he quickly put on a smile and comforted her: "My dear, don't be nervous, in fact, this is not a big deal, as long as I improve. Be vigilant, no one can break the big waves!" Seeing what Ye Qian Longxu said, Concubine Gaoli couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and her beautiful face immediately returned to its former radiant and charming look.
The next morning, Yang Peng and Yelu Hanyu got up early. Just as the two of them were washing up, Cheng Shijie ran in, "Brother, sister-in-law, we just got the news that the Warriors Conference will continue in two days."
Yelu Hanyu thought: "The emperor did this to stabilize the people's hearts." Yang Peng nodded and thought: "I am thinking, should we participate in this martial arts competition?" Yelu Hanyu said: "I have to say , let’s not get involved here and go back to Yanjing as soon as possible! Brother, your current status is extraordinary. If you have some advantages and disadvantages, how can you still do it?" Cheng Shijie nodded with deep understanding, "Sister-in-law said That’s right! There’s no chance after such an assassination incident. Brother should not stay in this dangerous place anymore!”
At this time, footsteps were heard outside the door, and the three people stopped talking. Then Jin Xiuying trotted in, bowed Yingying, and then reported: "Master, His Royal Highness sent someone to invite the master, saying that there are some things to discuss with the master." Yang Peng nodded, "I understand, I will go right away. "Jin Xiuying exited the room.
After a while, Yang Peng saw Wang Yue. The two exchanged pleasantries and then took their seats. Wang Yue said: "I originally thought that the Warriors Conference would be cancelled, but I didn't expect that the imperial edict had just been announced and everything would be held as usual. The time is set in two days."
Yang Peng said: "Your Majesty is really extraordinary!" Wang Yue nodded and said with a smile: "Brother, please be well prepared. I am waiting to see your eldest brother make a blockbuster appearance in the martial arts competition!" Yang Peng laughed.
Yang Peng returned to his small courtyard. Yelu Hanyu and Cheng Shijie came forward immediately. Yelu Hanyu asked: "Are you talking about the martial arts tournament?" Yang Peng nodded. Yelu Hanyu said angrily: "You can't participate anyway!" Yang Peng smiled, "I have an idea," Yelu Hanyu glared and said: "I won't listen! Any idea will not work! You must leave here immediately! Stay any longer There’s no point in going down anymore!”
Yang Peng smiled bitterly and said, "Little sister, listen to what I have to say!" Then he spoke out his thoughts. Yelu Hanyu frowned and said: "You still think about this? I don't agree! Although this plan has the possibility of success, it is also very risky! You really shouldn't take the risk! You have to know that Yan Yun is the one you are carrying now. What is the fate of thousands of soldiers and civilians!”
Yang Peng persuaded him politely, and after a lot of hard work, he finally convinced Yelu Hanyu. Yelu Hanyu glared at Yang Peng helplessly and said angrily: "I've never met anyone as rogue as you, it's so irritating!" Yang Peng hugged Yelu Hanyu and whispered softly in her ear: "You actually know that eldest brother's decision is correct, you are just worried about eldest brother's safety!" Yelu Hanyu rolled his eyes at Yang Peng, "It's good that you know!" After a pause, he frowned and said: "Why must we defeat the Liao Kingdom? ! I really can’t worry about such a dangerous move! Even if our generation cannot complete the great cause of unifying the world, our descendants can inherit our will!"
Yang Peng frowned and said: "I don't want to wait! Besides, do you think our descendants who grow up in a wealthy environment will still have the same will as us? I'm afraid it will be difficult! As the saying goes, wealth cannot last more than three generations. This is the truth!" Yelu Hanyu sighed and rolled his eyes at Yang Peng, "I can't tell you anything anyway!"
Yang Peng smiled and said: "Don't worry, nothing will happen!" Yelu Hanyu sighed, "It's up to you. Anyway, if you have something to do, I'll just go with you!" Yelu Hanyu said it lightly. , but it contained unshakable determination. Yang Peng was so moved that he hugged Yelu Hanyu tightly.
Yeqi Guanyin received a report that traces of suspicious troops were found near Majiuling, more than a hundred miles north of Zhongjing. So Ye Qi Guanyin immediately mobilized 30,000 cavalry and rushed to Majiuling. Xiao Qian and hundreds of defeated soldiers hid in Majuiling for a day and night. On the second night, a group of troops suddenly arrived. Xiao Qian and others were startled and hurriedly mounted their horses to prepare for battle. However, after seeing clearly who was coming, he showed a happy expression.
The other party stopped not far ahead. The leader was a mysterious figure covered in a black cloak. He raised his voice and said, "Xiao Qian, you really disappointed me this time!" Xiao Qian quickly explained: "You can't blame me for this matter. Who knew the other party was prepared for it!" Black Cloak nodded, "What you said makes sense." Xiao Qian asked hurriedly: "Hurry up and make arrangements for us. I have been exposed. Need to be transferred immediately!"
At this time, a lookout sent by Xiao Qian on a nearby high ground rolled over and ran over anxiously, "General, general, there are many troops coming from afar, at least tens of thousands of people!" Xiao Qian was startled. He quickly asked the black cloak: "What do you want to do with so many soldiers and horses?" The black cloak said: "I didn't bring them. It was Ye Qi Guanyin who led 30,000 cavalry to capture the traitor!"
Xiao Qian and others became even more panicked when they heard this, and hurriedly said: "You have to help me! I worked hard for you to end up like this!" Black Cloak raised his hand, "Don't worry, I We have our own arrangements!" Xiao Qian couldn't help but feel relieved. Unexpectedly, the other party suddenly shouted: "Do it!"
Almost at the same time, Xiao Qian's sentries placed high on both sides screamed, and then he saw countless black shadows quickly surrounding his group from the left and right. Xiao Qian and others were shocked and at a loss. They pointed at the black cloak and shouted angrily: "You want to kill people and silence them!"
Black Cloak smiled coldly, "It's too late to understand now! Take action!" Arrows rained down from all around, and Xiao Qian and others who were unprepared were shot to the ground. In just a moment, Xiao Qian and hundreds of others were already He fell to the ground, with corpses strewn everywhere. Xiao Qian was not completely dead yet, leaning against a tree trunk and glaring at the black cloak. The black cloak smiled coldly, took out his bow and shot an arrow at Xiao Qian, and the arrow hit his throat. Xiao Qian stared and died with his eyes open.
The black cloak put back its hard bow and shouted: "Retreat!" This mysterious army quickly left the scene.
About half an hour later, Ye Qian Guanyin led 30,000 cavalry to the scene, but all they saw were corpses on the ground. Ye Qi Guanyin was very upset and shouted: "Gudu, your people are searching in all directions, and others are looking to see if there are any survivors!" The generals agreed in unison and split up.
After a while, Wolf Poison rode his horse to the front of Ye Qian Guanyin and saluted, "Your Majesty, we have found Xiao Qian! He is dead!" "Take me to see!" Wolf Poison quickly led the way. After a while, a group of When they came to a dry old camphor tree, they suddenly saw Xiao Qian leaning on the trunk, his eyes wide open and he had been dead for a long time!
Ye Qi Guanyin couldn't help but cursed: "Damn it! Who is this person? He attacks so quickly!"
Soon after, the generals who were searching for survivors came to report back, but no survivors were found. Hundreds of people were all dead. Ye Qi Guanyin glanced at a corpse not far away that was full of arrows, got off his horse and walked to his side. He bent down, pulled out an arrow, looked at it carefully, and frowned tightly. Wolfbane asked in confusion: "Your Majesty, is there something wrong with this arrow?" Wanyan Qingfeng threw the arrow to him, "Do you think this arrow is different from the one you used?" Wolfbane looked at this arrow carefully. The arrows were contaminated by blood and water, and he shook his head and said: "There is no difference between the arrows used by the generals, they are exactly the same!" "This is the biggest problem! It means that it is my army from the Liao Kingdom that is attacking!" Wolfbane was shocked, not very smart. My head also felt that the problem behind this was very serious.
Half an hour later, the Bone Governor came back and reported: "Your Majesty, we divided into more than a dozen teams to pursue in all directions, but did not find anything that could be found. Now each team is still continuing to pursue, and the general will report back first!"
Ye Qi Guanyin said: "I'm afraid we won't find any clues! Send the order and return to Zhongjing!" "Yes!"
After Ye Qi Guanyin returned to Zhongjing, she immediately went to see the emperor. The palace chamberlain said that the emperor went to the palace of the noble concubine of Goryeo. Ye Qi Guanyin asked the chamberlain to report on his behalf, but the chamberlain said with embarrassment: "Your Majesty is talking to the imperial concubine! It is really inconvenient for us to report!" Ye Qi Guanyin understood, cursed angrily, and turned to face the queen. Walk to the palace.
Came to the Queen's Palace and met the Queen. "Sister-in-law, how are you doing lately?" Ye Qi Guanyin asked. The queen sighed, looked at the splendid and splendid scenes around her, and couldn't help but said: "Everyone in the world is envious of our wealth, but who can understand the sadness in it! If a family can live a peaceful and loving life, I would rather not have all this glory and wealth! What’s the use of these!”
Ye Qi Guanyin consoled her: "Sister-in-law, don't blame your majesty. As the king of a country, your majesty has no choice but to do many things!" The queen smiled bitterly. He looked at Yeyi Guanyin and said with a smile: "Yeyi Guanyin is a heroine that everyone in the Liao Kingdom admires. She is busy with endless important things every day. Why do you have time to see me today?"
Seeing that the Queen asked this question, Yeqi Guanyin explained her purpose of coming: "Sister-in-law, I came here to ask you whether His Majesty has made a will?" The queen was surprised, "Why did Yeqi Guanyin suddenly ask this question?" A thing? It would be more appropriate for you to ask your brother about this kind of thing!" Ye Qi Guanyin said: "I am going to ask His Majesty, but before that I want to ask my sister-in-law, has Your Majesty made a will?"
The queen hesitated and shook her head, "No!" "Really not?" "Indeed not! At least he has never talked about this matter with me! But has he ever talked about this matter with other beloved concubines? I don’t know!”
Ye Qi Guanyin thought for a moment, "Sister-in-law, are you talking about the noble concubine of Goryeo?" "Huh! Who else could it be besides that vixen?"...
Two days later, the Warriors Tournament began. To everyone's expectation, Ye Qian Longxu appeared in the VIP area of the tournament. Warriors from all over the country and even foreign countries knelt down together with hundreds of thousands of people and troops to shout long live the mountain. The scene was spectacular. Ye Qian Longxu stood up and raised his voice: "We, the Liao Kingdom, built our country by force, and warriors are the cornerstone of our Daliao Kingdom! Therefore, constantly selecting new warriors is the foundation of our Daliao Kingdom's strength! Warriors are the foundation of our great Liao Kingdom!" This is why the conference is here! Warriors present, I look forward to seeing your bravery, looking forward to personally awarding you the title of warrior, and even more looking forward to you conquering the world and making glorious military exploits for our Daliao Kingdom!!"
Countless people couldn't help the excitement in their hearts and shouted long live. The huge voice was like a rolling tide, soaring into the sky.
Then the competition officially began. At the same time, Ye Qi Guanyin was still busy running around. She was still tracking down the person behind the previous assassination incident. She had already found some clues. These looming clues point to a person, a person she originally trusted very much. …
Ye Qi Guanyin returned to the mansion after working for a whole day. He frowned and sat down. A female guard came over, clasped her fists and said, "Princess!" Yedi Guanyin raised her head and asked, "How is the situation at the Warriors Conference?"
The female guard said in a very surprised tone: "Today's competition was beyond everyone's expectations. A warrior from Goryeo actually stood out!" Ye Qi Guanyin was very surprised, "A warrior from Goryeo?" The female guard nodded. He nodded, "Both he and His Highness Zongying won, and the final competition will be held tomorrow!" "I am very surprised that the Goryeo warrior can stand out!" smiled, "But he will definitely end in a disastrous defeat tomorrow! Ye Qian Zong Ying is born with supernatural powers and is extremely brave. He is the proud disciple of Fifth Brother. I am afraid that the only ones who can defeat him are me and Fifth Brother!" The female guard nodded, "That's what everyone said."
Ye Qi Guanyin asked: "What is the name of that Korean?" "I heard that his name is Jinze, and he came with His Highness Wang Yue, the younger brother of the Concubine of Korea." Ye Qi Guanyin frowned, "In other words, he is From Wang Yue and Concubine Goryeo?" "Probably."
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
