Wang Yue frowned and said, "I thought they were assassins coming for me! I didn't expect they were coming for Ye Qi Guanyin! Someone assassinated the emperor before, and now someone is assassinating King Suzaku. There is really an undercurrent in the Liao Kingdom!" Yang Peng nodded with deep sympathy.
Wang Yue asked Yang Peng: "Brother, who do you think could do it?" Yang Peng smiled, "It's hard to guess! But this matter must have something to do with power!" Wang Yue thought and nodded. Cheng Shijie frowned and said: "For power, father and son kill each other, brothers kill each other, I really can't understand the thoughts of these people!" Wang Yue looked a little embarrassed, while Yang Peng smiled and said: "Not everyone has the same thoughts as brothers. In the hearts of most people, power is much more important than parents and brothers! You can live without parents and brothers, but you can never live without rights!"
Cheng Shijie couldn't help but cursed: "This is obviously a beast!" Wang Yue looked even more embarrassed. The group returned to the State Guesthouse, and then Yang Peng said goodbye to Wang Yue, and the five of them went back to their own yard. "Brother, why do you want to save Ye Qi Guanyin?" Cheng Shijie asked in confusion.
Yang Peng patted his cheek and said with confusion: "I don't know either. I did it subconsciously at that time!" Then he told Cheng Shijie and the three secret guards: "When I see your sister-in-law later, you must not say anything This thing!" Several people smiled and nodded.
Back in the yard, Yelu Hanyu and the Jin sisters came up to them. The three women all had worried looks on their faces. Yelu Hanyu asked: "Why was there the sound of fighting outside just now?" Yang Peng said: "Someone assassinated Ye Qi Guanyin." "Oh? Was it successful?" Yang Peng shook his head.
Yelu Hanyu turned to the Jin sisters and said, "You guys go and boil the hot water. Brother needs to take a bath." The Jin sisters responded, glanced at Yang Peng resentfully, and walked down quickly. Yang Peng, Yelu Hanyu, and Cheng Shijie walked towards the room, while the three secret guards returned to their rooms. The three people came to the room, and Yelu Hanyu couldn't wait to ask: "Have you taken action yet?" Yang Peng smiled and nodded. Yelu Hanyu's eyes lit up, "Did you succeed?" Yang Peng sat down, "He drank all the pot of medicinal wine. Do you think you succeeded?" Yelu Hanyu was very excited, "Great!" Look! He glanced at Yang Peng and said, "It's time for us to leave!"
Yang Peng nodded, "But before that, I still have to do something." Yelu Hanyu said angrily: "What else do you want to do? God bless you and nothing went wrong. , I'm afraid there will be problems! We can't do anything we want, we must leave immediately!" Yang Peng said with a smile: "Listen to me first! I plan to assassinate several important ministers of the Liao Kingdom and let this fire burn You have to be more vigorous!" "Is the important minister of the Liao Kingdom so easy to assassinate? If you can't do it well, it doesn't matter if you miss. If people notice your existence, it will be a big problem!"
Yang Peng smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have no intention of assassinating people like Han Derang in Yeqi Hucheng. I will only choose people like the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Works to do it. It is absolutely foolproof!" Yelu Hanyu After thinking for a while, he nodded. Looking at Yang Peng, "After we have finished this matter, we can't make any more trouble. We must go home immediately!" Yang Peng raised his right hand, "I swear!" Yelu Hanyu rolled his eyes at Yang Peng, "What's the use of swearing!"
At midnight, Yang Peng woke up. He saw the naked Yelu Hanyu lying on her body, sleeping soundly. Under the moonlight, I looked at Yelu Hanyu's ugly fake face. I don't know why, but I felt that it wasn't that ugly anymore, and it seemed pretty good. Yang Peng smiled and gently moved Yelu Hanyu away. Yelu Hanyu hummed in annoyance in his sleep and turned his body sideways.
Yang Peng gently got off the bed, put on his underwear and a robe, and went to the toilet. Wealthy people in ancient times were accustomed to placing things like toilet bowls in their rooms so that they could relieve themselves at night. However, Yang Peng was not used to putting such things in his room, so he had to go out to relieve himself at night.
I peed in the toilet and felt relaxed all over. I shivered, put on my pants, and went back to the room. On the way, I suddenly heard a faint sound of a woman crying. Yang Peng immediately thought of the ghost movies he had watched in society, and his hair stood on end. He muttered, "How could a woman cry in the middle of the night? It couldn't be haunted, right?" At this thought, he couldn't help but become curious, so he followed walked away. I came outside the room where the Jin sisters lived and listened carefully. The sound was indeed coming from inside. Yang Peng frowned and listened.
"Sister, why do you think Master hates us so much?" Jin Xiuwen's voice sounded aggrieved. "I don't know. Maybe, maybe we are not good enough!" Then there was another low sob.
Yang Peng really had mixed feelings. Only then did he realize that to him, the two of them were insignificant and completely dispensable characters, but to them, he was everything! Maybe I really shouldn't be too cold to them!
Suddenly someone patted Yang Peng on the shoulder. Yang Peng was startled and turned around quickly. He saw Yelu Hanyu standing behind him very angrily. Chen Xiao quickly made a gesture of silence, and then motioned to Yelu Hanyu to listen to what was said inside. Yelu Hanyu was very surprised, so he also listened attentively. The two women in the room still didn't know that someone was eavesdropping outside, and they still talked to each other about their concerns.
After a while, Yelu Hanyu straightened up, frowned, gave Yang Peng a hand, and walked towards the room. Yang Peng followed. The two returned to the room. Yelutri asked angrily: "Are you reluctant to let them go?"
Yang Peng walked to the bed and sat down, sighing, "When I didn't hear these words, I didn't feel much. I left them behind when I left. But after hearing what they said, I felt... I can't bear it anymore!" He raised his head and looked at Yelu Hanyu, "I don't know what to do, little sister, just do whatever you say!"
Yelu Hanyu rolled her eyes at Yang Peng, walked to Yang Peng and sat down. Sighing, "Since you can't let go of them anymore, what else is there to say? Of course you will come with us!" Yang Peng was very surprised, "Really!?" Yelu Hanyu became angry and took Xianxian He poked Yang Peng's chest with his jade finger and said with jealousy: "Did your wish come true?" Yang Peng grabbed Yelu Hanyu's delicate hand, kissed it, and said passionately: "Little sister, you are really my eldest brother's Good wife!" Yelu Hanyu snorted with trembling beautiful eyes.
Yang Peng hugged Yelu Hanyu and whispered in her ear: "Big brother must repay little sister well!" Yelu Hanyu was very curious. Yang Peng's lips kissed her red lips, and his right hand began to skillfully unbutton her clothes.
His eyes turned to the princess mansion. Ye Qi Guanyin woke up in the middle of the night. Realizing that it was just a dream, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Recalling the plot in the dream, that Kanazawa turned into Yang Peng inexplicably! Ye Qi Guanyin frowned.
The next morning, while Ye Qi Guanyin was washing up, a female guard rushed in and reported: "Princess, General Wolfsbane is back." "Let him in!" The female guard shouted outside: " The king has ordered General Wolfsbane to come in and speak!"
Then the door went dark, and Wolfbane in armor walked in quickly. Seeing that Ye Qi Guanyin was still dressing up, and showing a soft and charming temperament that she didn't usually have, I couldn't help but feel shocked. I quickly knelt down and saluted: "I will pay my respects to the princess!"
Ye Qi Guanyin glanced at Wolf Du from the reflection of the bronze mirror, "Get up and speak." Wolf Du responded, stood up, lowered his head, and took a peek at Ye Qi Guanyin, "Princess Qi, the general will follow the instructions The princess ordered to visit all the horse dealers involved, but none of the horse dealers remembered that any suspicious person had bought a horse!"
Ye Qi Guanyin turned around and said, "Didn't you ask who are buying horses recently?" "Yes. But I have no clue at all. People buying horses include Jurchens, Hans, Khitans, Koreans, The Japanese, Xixia people, as well as the Persians and Qin people from the far west, it will be completely impossible to find suspicious characters among these people!"
Ye Qi Guanyin frowned and asked, "You said there are Koreans?" Wolfsbane nodded, "Yes." Ye Qi Guanyin showed a thoughtful look. Seeing this scene, Wolfbane couldn't help but curiously asked: "Is there something wrong with the Koreans?" Yeqi Guanyin came back to her senses and said, "You can find a palace painter, I can be of use." Wolfbane responded and retreated. Go down.
As soon as Wolfbane left, a female guard came in and reported: "Your Majesty, General Bone Governor wants to see you." "Let him come in." The female guard responded, retreated, and led the Bone Governor in after a moment. The Bone Governor paid homage to Ye Qi Guanyin, and then said: "Princess Qi, we tortured the assassins we caught last night, but none of them spoke!" Ye Qi Guanyin's face turned cold, "These assassins were carefully selected. It's strange that the dead soldiers can speak! No need to waste time, just cut those guys into pieces and throw them to the mountain to feed the wolves!" The Bone Governor responded and retreated. Ye Qi Guanyin looked at her stunningly beautiful self in the mirror and thought.
"Brother, my younger brother has bought a manor outside the city. I wonder if my eldest brother has time to go and have a look with me?" Wang Yue said to Yang Peng.
Yang Peng said apologetically: "Oh, what a coincidence. There is something going on in the court today, so I'm afraid I don't have time!" Wang Yue couldn't help but feel disappointed, and then smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. But tomorrow night, I will be at the manor outside the city. We are holding a banquet to celebrate the big brother’s victory in the Warriors Conference. Big brother must come! Otherwise, the little brother will be very disappointed!” Yang Peng smiled and clasped his fists and said: “I will definitely be there tomorrow night! It’s just a trouble for me!” Wang Yue hurriedly said Waving his hands, "No trouble, no trouble! This is what a younger brother should do!" Then he stood up, cupped his fists and said, "Then I'll take my leave!" Chen Xiao stood up to see him off. Come back when you're done. Yelu Guanyin said with a smile: "Tomorrow night, that little prince will definitely try his best to win over you!"
Yang Peng said with a smile: "I won't refuse anyone who comes!" Yelv Guanyin rolled her eyes at Yang Peng, frowned and said: "I won't go. I want to stay at home and supervise all aspects of action, so as not to make any mistakes!" Now Yang Peng and the others no longer live in the state guesthouse, but in a mansion gifted by the emperor. The servants and maids in the mansion are fully equipped.
Yang Peng thought and nodded. In the princess's palace, Ye Qi Guanyin was reading a report that had just been sent to her. Her brows were furrowed tightly, and her eyes showed obvious shock and anger. A female guard hurried in and said, "Princess, there is news from the palace that Your Majesty suddenly fell ill!"
Ye Qi Guanyin was surprised, "Your Majesty has always been in good health, how could he suddenly fall ill?" The female guard shook her head and expressed her confusion. Ye Qi Guanyin put down what she was doing and hurried into the palace.
When I arrived at the emperor's palace, I saw Han Derang, the brother of Yeganxiu from Yeganhu City, and other important civil and military officials in Beijing had already arrived. Behind the gauze curtain in front is where the emperor stayed. The gauze curtain has been lowered, and only a few people can be vaguely seen busy behind the gauze curtain. Yedi Guanyin anxiously asked Wanyan Gao: "Hucheng, how is your Majesty?" Yedi Hucheng said quickly: "Little sister, don't be nervous! Your Majesty is just feeling a little unwell, it's not a serious problem. Now the imperial doctors are working on it. Your Majesty's diagnosis and treatment!" Ye Qi Guanyin couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. Subconsciously, he turned his head and glanced at Brother Ye Qianxiu. At this time, Brother Ye Qianxiu was looking at the gauze curtain with an anxious look on his face.
After a while, the veil was opened by the palace maid. When everyone saw the emperor sitting on the bed, they quickly came forward to pay their respects. The emperor chuckled, "Don't be nervous, I just feel the cold occasionally!" Ye Qi Guanyin frowned and said: "Your Majesty is concerned about the safety of the Liao Kingdom, so you must take care of yourself!" The emperor nodded, "Thank you for your concern, little sister! "Then he frowned and said, "I heard that someone assassinated my little sister?" Ye Qi Guanyin said, "It's just a small matter. Your Majesty, don't worry about it!" The emperor frowned and said, "This is not a trivial matter. Someone is planning a conspiracy!" He glanced at the important civil and military ministers in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel suspicious in his heart.
"Okay, I'm fine. You all can go down. If anything happens, I will naturally summon you!" Everyone agreed. "Prime Minister, stay."
The others couldn't help but glance at the prime minister and exited the palace. The emperor motioned to Handerang to come forward. Handerang walked to the bedside and stood respectfully with his head bowed. The emperor was about to speak when he suddenly coughed several times. The imperial concubine of Goryeo quickly brought a bowl of ginseng soup to the emperor, and carefully served the emperor to drink the ginseng soup. The emperor felt much better and gave Concubine Goryeo a grateful look. The noble concubine of Goryeo smiled brightly, stepped aside, and handed the empty ginseng soup bowl to the maid next to her. The maid immediately went down with the empty bowl in her hands.
The emperor frowned and said: "A lot of things have happened during this period, and I feel very uneasy!" Han Derang nodded with deep sympathy. The emperor looked at Han Derang, "Who do you think is the main messenger behind the scenes?" Han Derang frowned and shook his head, "It's still difficult to judge this now, and I don't dare to guess! But one thing is for sure, that is Ye Qi Guanyin must be trustworthy!"
The emperor nodded, "Yes. If she wanted to murder me, how could she have warned me? Without her warning, I would have died a few days ago!" He frowned, "Little sister Yu When it came to the assassination, it was obvious that the man was worried that the little sister would find out something, or that the little sister might have been close to the truth of the matter, so the man was anxious!"
"What your Majesty said is absolutely true!" the emperor thought: "My little sister is reliable, but it's hard for everyone else to escape suspicion! I really don't like the current situation of intrigues and intrigues! We Khitans worked together to create what we have today Is such a glorious empire going to kill each other today? I am really worried that if this person cannot be found out in time, I am afraid it will cause unimaginable chaos! It would be okay if I am still alive, but if I He has passed away. I really don’t know how the situation will turn out!" Han Derang was also deeply worried and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I think the investigation into this matter should be withdrawn. Obviously the current tense situation is not conducive to the investigation. It is better to deliberately order Ye Qi Guanyin to stop the investigation and turn the investigation from light to dark. In this way, that person might relax his vigilance, and maybe he can catch his fox by the tail! "
The emperor nodded thoughtfully. The emperor and Wanyan Sagai chatted for a while, and then Handerang said goodbye and left.
The emperor felt very tired and couldn't help frowning and said: "Is my health really bad? I have often caught colds and colds in the past, but I have never been as depressed as now?!" Concubine Goryeo quickly said: "Your Majesty just occasionally felt cold, I believe It won't take long for him to recover!" The emperor nodded and prepared to lie down and rest. Seeing this, the noble concubine of Goryeo quickly came over to serve the emperor and lay down. The imperial concubine of Goryeo sat beside the bed and accompanied the emperor. Soon after, the emperor fell into a deep sleep. The Concubine of Goryeo called softly twice, and after confirming that the emperor was indeed asleep, she stood up, gave some instructions to several palace maids, and then left the emperor's palace.
Concubine Goryeo led two of her trusted maids to the arch that she had visited that night, and asked softly outside the arch: "Are you here?" "Yes." came a man's voice. "Is the emperor really just suffering from wind and cold occasionally?" "Yes. Several imperial doctors have diagnosed him, but he is just suffering from wind and cold occasionally." A disappointed sigh came from outside the arch.
Concubine Goryeo asked: "Did you send someone to assassinate Ye Qi Guanyin?" "Yes." "Huh! You let me down so much! You failed to assassinate the emperor before, and now you failed to assassinate Ye Qi Guanyin! If this continues, , when will something big happen?"
"Don't put all the responsibility for this matter on me. I was about to ask you! The reason why the operation failed was all because of that Kanazawa. With his long spear, my people couldn't get close at all. ! Didn’t you say that Kanazawa is yours? How could he ruin our good deeds? "
This was the first time Concubine Goryeo heard about this. She was surprised, and then secretly rejoiced. Of course she was not happy that Kanazawa had ruined their good deeds, but that Kanazawa was indeed brave and invincible!
"Why don't you speak? Is it possible that you sent Jinze to ruin my affairs on purpose?" Concubine Gao Li said angrily: "How is that possible! You and I share weal and woe, and if I ruin your affairs, I am not ruining my own affairs!" "If that's the case, why did Jin Ze save Wanyan Qingfeng?" "The reason is simple, because he didn't know about our plot. He would have taken action at the right time." The mysterious man was silent for a moment, "I believe you." "
Concubine Goryeo suddenly remembered something, "There is something. Just now Han Derang and the emperor discussed for a long time and decided to deliberately stop the investigation of the assassination. If you turn the current investigation into a secret investigation, you have to be careful!" "Hmph, That old fox! Don't worry, I've already planned to stop my activities temporarily! The wind has been too strong recently, so I have to hibernate temporarily!" Concubine Gaoli asked anxiously: "Has Ye Qi Guanyin investigated you?" "Don't worry, everyone I have cut off all the clues, and she can’t investigate my head!” Concubine Gao Li felt relieved, “That’s good!”
"That Kanazawa, why didn't you bring him into the plan? Don't you trust him?" the mysterious man asked. Concubine Goryeo said: "I still need some time to observe." "Well. If he can participate in our plan, things will be much easier to handle! This person is really amazing! I have fought on the battlefield with my father and brother since I was a child, and I have seen countless fierce generals. Among them, the most unforgettable one is King Yan Yang Peng! And this person gives me a very similar feeling to King Yan! If we can make him loyal to us, let alone the current plan, we will have no fear of running rampant in the world in the future. !”
Concubine Goryeo nodded with deep sympathy. The mysterious man then said: "However, this kind of person is difficult to control. Are you sure you can control him?" Concubine Gao Li smiled mysteriously, "Don't worry, I have a way to make him work for us wholeheartedly!" "Okay! If That would be great! Well, it's time for me to leave. Staying too long will arouse others' suspicion!" Then footsteps came from behind the arch, and Concubine Goryeo turned and left.
At dusk the next day, Yang Peng led two secret guards on horseback out of the south city gate. Not long after he walked out, the captain of the city gate shouted from the city gate: "The time is up, close the city gate!" The sergeants guarding the door and the people who had just arrived at the city gate hurriedly ran into the city. Door. Then the heavy city gate closed. The people who were too late to enter the city were very upset and could only return to the town near the city gate to rest for one night and wait until the city gate opened tomorrow morning before entering the city.
In ancient times, the gates of big cities were not actually wilderness, but areas of towns, many of which were bustling with taverns, inns, and brothels. At this time, the city has become quiet, but the excitement in the town outside the city has just begun. The taverns are full of guests and the brothels are crowded. Unlike the city, there is no such thing as a curfew, so it is often lively. All night long, it’s a city that never sleeps.
The three of Yang Peng walked through the bustling Zhendian, and the noise gradually faded away. At this time, a dirt road appeared in front of you on the left. The three men took to the dirt road. Looking up, I saw not far away, under the mountain light and moonlight, there was a shadowy house, like an ancient temple in the mountains. There was the villa that Wang Yue bought not long ago. Chen Xiao has been here before. It used to be the manor of Yelu Guanyin's sister-in-law Yelu Hanyu. However, the country was ruined and the family was destroyed, and the owner of this villa has long since changed.
When the three people came to the foot of the mountain, they saw a Goryeo warrior coming up to them excitedly. The Korean warrior came to the three horses, bowed respectfully, and then said: "I have been ordered by His Highness the Prince to wait for the general here! General, please follow me!" Then he walked in front to lead the way.
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
