Princess Iron Mirror is the most favored among the princesses and has the highest authority. It was easy for her to make the guards in Princess Haijing's house fall to the ground with just one word. Princess Haijing seemed to be awakened by her sister's power. She glanced at Princess Tiejing and whispered: "Second sister, I'm fine..."
Princess Tie Jing glared at her sister, "You are still so soft-hearted..." Princess Tie Jing looked at the guards and said coldly: "Next time, you will all die, including your tribe." Throw it down. With these words, Princess Tiejing asked Princess Haijing to return to the house. The imperial doctor, who had been waiting in the palace for a long time, immediately diagnosed and treated Princess Haijing.
"Princess Haijing has been infected with some colds, and there are many bruises on her body..." The imperial doctor came to a conclusion after examination. Princess Haijing was definitely infected with the cold. As for the many bruises on her body, she was hit by the carriage. After the imperial doctor treated Princess Haijing's bruises, she went down to prescribe medicine for her. Princess Haijing's small body was lying on the bed, staring at the top of the bed in a daze.
"Fourth sister, what are you thinking about? Are you wondering who attacked you?" Princess Tiejing said with a livid face: "Sister has sent someone to check, it's Zhe Gu Nian and Xiao Taixing. They are not satisfied with the queen's treatment of them. That’s why I attacked you secretly. I have already sent someone to inform the queen mother, and I will definitely make them miserable..."
"Sister, I feel weird..." Princess Tie Jing was describing the scene of how Zhe Gu Nian and Xiao Taixing were dealt with after they were caught. Suddenly hearing Princess Haijing's words, she was slightly startled. She sat beside Princess Haijing's bed and whispered, "Why is it strange?"
Princess Haijing frowned and tried to recall: "It's just... there is a person who makes you feel particularly at ease when he is by your side... but when he leaves, you will feel very uncomfortable..." Princess Tiejing was stunned. Look at this sister who is only twelve years old. "Who did you meet? Where? Who is the other person?"
Princess Iron Mirror asked three questions as soon as she opened her mouth. Princess Haijing was shocked when she heard this. She had never seen Princess Tiejing so rude before. It was like there were two villains fighting in her mind, and she didn't know whether to say it or not. Princess Iron Mirror's face was ashen as she stared at Princess Haijing.
Princess Haijing said timidly: "It's just... I was so scared after the horse was frightened today... Someone saved me... I feel very warm next to him... I don't want to leave him..."
Princess Tie Jing narrowed her eyes and said in a deep voice: "Who is he? What is his name?" Princess Haijing glanced at Princess Tie Jing quietly and whispered: "He said his name is Yang Ping..." "Yang Ping" ?" Princess Tiejing stood up suddenly as if her tail had been stepped on, and exclaimed: "His name is Yang Ping? Is he from the Song Dynasty?" Princess Haijing blinked her big eyes and whispered: "It should be from the Song Dynasty. …Because he doesn’t have the flavor of us Liao people.”
Princess Tie Jing stared blankly at Princess Haijing and growled: "Does he have another name, Yang Peng?" Princess Haijing was startled and whispered: "Sister, You scared me. He only said his name was Yang Ping, and when I wanted to ask again, he had disappeared..."
"Sister, do you know him?" Looking at Princess Haijing's expectant eyes. Princess Tie Jing hesitated for a moment, shook her head and said, "I don't know. It must be my sister's fault. They are definitely not the same person. You rest first, my sister will go out for a while..." Princess Tie Jing left Princess Haijing's bedroom with a complicated expression. . Princess Haijing stared at the gauze tent and murmured: "Yang Ping... Yang Peng..."...
Outside Princess Haijing's mansion. As soon as Princess Iron Mirror left the house, she immediately cast her eyes on the head of the guards in her house. Princess Iron Mirror looked at the face of her guard leader with a more complicated expression. "You come to my carriage. I have something to ask you." Princess Tie Jing took the lead in getting on the carriage. The leader of the guards at her residence hesitated for a moment and then also stepped onto the carriage. As soon as the leader of the guards stepped onto the carriage, Princess Iron Mirror got into his arms.
"Shiro..." The leader of the guards hesitated for a moment, but still held Princess Iron Mirror in his arms. "Are you wronged again? Do you want me to help you?" This leader of the guards, who was called Shiro by Princess Iron Mirror, who else could he be if he wasn't Yang Si? It is hard to imagine that a princess who once chased Yang Peng like a star is now in Yang Si's arms.
The reason why it turned out like this was purely God's will. Once upon a time, Princess Tiejing, who discovered Yang Si's identity, wanted to use Yang Si's identity to fish out Yang Peng. But he didn't expect that after slowly getting in touch with Yang Si, he would fall in love over time. When Fan Long plundered the two capitals of the Liao Kingdom, chaos arose in the upper capital. Yang Si relied on his ability to help Princess Tiejing out of trouble many times.
Yang Si was like peeling an onion, peeling off Princess Iron Mirror's heart layer by layer. Princess Iron Mirror often comforted Yang Si who was sad alone. Over time, the two fell in love with each other. Therefore, when Princess Tiejing heard the words Yang Ping, she did not feel surprised, but felt panic and fear.
She felt the danger approaching, and also felt that the person she loved was gradually moving away from her. Although Yang Ping's identity has not yet been determined, she has already sensed a crisis. She wanted to ask Yang Si what he was thinking immediately, but when she lay in Yang Si's arms, she couldn't open her mouth.
She is selfish and she is afraid. She was afraid that if she spoke out, Yang Si would leave her. She didn't dare to gamble. She didn't dare to gamble that Yang Si's feelings for her were more important than family ties. "It's nothing, I just feel sad when I see my fourth sister being hurt by people with ulterior motives at such a young age."
Princess Iron Mirror chose to escape and lie. When Yang Si heard what Princess Tiejing said, he was stunned and sighed: "Sometimes, being a princess may not lead to the happiness of ordinary people. If you are worried about Princess Haijing's safety, why not take her to live in your house."
"No!" Princess Iron Mirror decisively refused. She was afraid that Princess Haijing would spill the beans. Seeing Yang Si looking at her with strange eyes, Princess Tie Jing hurriedly explained: "Fourth sister was very frightened this time, and the imperial doctor said she needed to rest. She was used to living in her own mansion, so she rashly moved to my mansion. I’m afraid it will be detrimental to her condition.”
Yang Si nodded, believing what Princess Iron Mirror said. Princess Tie Jing and Yang Si were affectionate for a while, and then they were driven back home in a carriage. After returning to the mansion, Princess Tiejing asked Yang Si to help her train the guards in the mansion, and she took the maid back to the bedroom.
As soon as she entered the bedroom, Princess Tiejing's expression changed suddenly. She ordered the maid in a cold voice, "Go and tell Yin of the Shangjing Prefecture to take people to pay close attention to the Song people who have recently entered the city. All Song people found to be related to Yang Zi Blast out the upper capital for me. Then mobilize a group of guards for me and have them guard the area. Once a suspicious Song Dynasty is discovered, they will be captured immediately."
The maid asked Princess Tiejing in astonishment, "Princess, would this be too overbearing? It is very likely to offend the other eight Khitan clans..."
"Hmph!" Princess Tie Jing snorted coldly: "Anyway, the Queen Mother and Uncle Yelu are killing people to establish their power. Whoever jumps out will be killed." Now, Princess Tie Jing can't control that much. Princess Iron Mirror is a person who dares to love and hate. Since I have fallen in love with Yang Si, I will never let Yang Si be taken away by others. Even if that person is Yang Si's biological brother. …
Faced with the trap set by Princess Iron Mirror, Yang Peng was completely unaware. At this moment, he had just entered the city. Entering Shangjing City of Liao Kingdom, Yang Peng felt as if he had entered Bianjing City. Although it is winter, Shangjing City is still bustling. Its prosperity is no less prosperous than Bianjing City.
But compared to the bookish atmosphere in Bianjing City, Shangjing City has a more barbaric atmosphere. Even those Liao people, dressed in Song clothes, could not hide their barbaric atmosphere. Not far from Yang Peng, Yang Peng saw two Liao people dressed as scholars, singing loudly famous poems in Bianjing City. It's just that these two Liao people were obviously not very knowledgeable. Many poems were pieced together and recited, without any sense of beauty.
However, there were many little girls from the Liao people who looked sideways at him. Of course, except for the Liao people. Yang Peng also saw many Song people. Some of them had the badge of being officials of the Liao Dynasty, and some of them followed the Liao people with contempt and praise. In short, the Song people in Shangjing City of the Liao Kingdom can be roughly divided into two categories.
One type is readers. The other category is coolies. Yang Peng was wrapped in a wide bearskin and had a knife hanging on his waist. He looked more like a Liao man. After walking half a circle in the city, Yang Peng arrived at the money store in Shangjing City. Compared with the money shops in Xijing City, the money shops in Shangjing City opened earlier.
However, the area occupied is not large. There are only thirty acres of land. The money shops in Shangjing City are very prosperous. Businessmen from all over the country and countries gather in Shangjing City. Their favorite place to stay is the money shop. Therefore, the money bank in Shangjingcheng is more like a chamber of commerce money bank. Moreover, there are restaurants and inns in the money shops in Shangjingcheng.
The shopkeeper who is in charge of Shangjingcheng Money Bank is also a wonderful person. He basically makes the most of the thirty acres of land in Shangjingcheng. When Yang Peng arrived at the door of Qian Bank, the shopkeeper of Qian Bank led a group of clerks and was already waiting at the door of Qian Bank. Yang Peng's bearskin is very conspicuous.
Even in the Liao Kingdom, a complete black bear skin like the one on Yang Peng's body was rare. The shopkeeper of Qian Bank is named Shen Peng. He is in his fifties and is a very discerning person.
When Shen Peng saw Yang Peng, he hurried out of the door of the money store and bowed and said: "Old servant Shen Peng, I have met the city lord." Shen Peng used to be the Yang family's accountant, but was later transferred to Tianjing New City. Now, he has become a big shopkeeper. All the guys following Shen Peng saluted Yang Peng, "I've met the young master."
Almost all of the guys here are Jin Yiwei's men. In addition to their daily work, they also had to collect intelligence about the Liao Kingdom in private. This is also one of the most concentrated intelligence offices in Jinyiwei besides Bianjing City. Although the shopkeeper of Qian Bank was not a big shot in the Liao Kingdom, he was still someone who could talk to big shots.
Suddenly, the shopkeeper saluted someone respectfully. The customers in the money shop all looked over subconsciously. Almost all businessmen want to remember Yang Peng. Yang Peng waved his hand and said softly: "We are all our own people, so there is no need for so many etiquettes. Just go and do your work."
"Yes." The Jin Yiwei who were pretending to be waiters quickly dispersed and went to work. Only Shen Peng was left to serve Yang Peng. Yang Peng's trip was very low-key. He didn't want to be recognized, so he didn't stay in the money shop for long and let Shen Peng take him to the back hall.
Shen Peng hunched over, followed Yang Peng, and said softly: "City Lord, you must be very tired after traveling all the way. The old servant has already ordered people to prepare food and hot water. You should wash up first and have a meal."
Yang Peng nodded lightly and said, "That's fine." Although Shen Peng was not the innermost servant of Tianjing New City, he knew some of Yang Peng's hobbies. Therefore, Shen Peng did not send anyone to wait on Yang Peng while he was taking a bath. Just ask people to prepare hot water for Yang Peng at any time so that Yang Peng can add water. After washing, Yang Peng put on a pair of loose clothes and entered the dining room.
The fire and dragon in the dining room were burning vigorously. Therefore, Yang Peng didn't feel cold even after entering the dining room in single clothes. The food on the dining table is very unique. In the middle is a stewed bear paw. The rest is basically some meat and two stir-fried vegetables.
Shen Peng waited until Yang Peng sat down and said with a slight embarrassment: "The best cooks in the capital are all in the palace, or controlled by dignitaries..." Yang Peng waved his hand, interrupting Shen Peng's words. He smiled and said: "We are all our own, just take a few bites. There is no need to prepare many good dishes. If I really want to eat good dishes, I don't need other chefs."
What Yang Peng said was extremely confident. Shen Peng said guiltily: "City Lord, it's not easy for you to come here. This old servant just wants you to taste all the delicacies of the Liao Kingdom..." Yang Peng waved his hand and said: "Sit down and eat together." Shen Peng was frightened. Said: "How dare you..." Shen Peng also knew Yang Peng's identity.
As the shopkeeper of a money shop, he looks good, but compared to Yang Peng, he is just a subordinate after all. After Yang Peng insisted on the invitation, Shen Peng sat down and ate with Yang Peng. While eating, Yang Peng asked, "How did the investigation go when I asked you to investigate it before?"
Shen Peng hurriedly put down his chopsticks, swallowed the meat in his mouth, and said respectfully: "The old servant has already checked. The fourth young master is indeed in Princess Tiejing's mansion. Now he has taken the position of commander of the guards of the princess's mansion." Yang Peng nodded and asked, "Have you tried contacting him?"
Shen Peng said awkwardly: "Fourth Young Master... Every time the Fourth Young Master comes out, he is always with Princess Tiejing. Our people have no chance of contact. And Princess Tiejing's house never uses Song slaves. So ours No one can get in." Yang Peng smacked his lips and said something that made Shen Peng confused.
"A thousand-mile marriage is tied by a thin thread! It's such a bad fate, there's no way to escape it..." As Yang Peng said, the marriage between Yang Si and Princess Tiejing was destined by fate. Even though Yang Peng wantonly tampered with the historical trend of the entertainment world, Yang Si still came together with Princess Iron Mirror. It seems that no amount of mountains and rivers can stop the bad relationship between the two.
Yang Peng took a surprise look inside the money shop. It seemed inconspicuous, but it attracted the attention of many businessmen and dignitaries in Shangjing City. The real owner behind the money bank has always been a mysterious existence. There has been a lot of speculation about this.
Some people say that the owner of the money shop is the Ryukyu royal family. Some people also say that the owner of the money shop is the richest man in Ryukyu. Some people even say that the owner behind Qianxing is actually from the Zhao family lineage of the pre-Qin Dynasty. Behind every identity, there is a legendary story.
Merchants spread all over the north and south and spread these stories to various countries around Ryukyu. However, even so, no one has seen the true face of Qian Hang’s boss. Today, Qian went to the branch store in the capital. He was extremely respectful to a young master and treated him as a servant, which aroused everyone's speculation.
The owner of the mysterious money shop appears. As soon as this news came out, many people rushed to see it. Businessmen are the most adept at building relationships. They feel that as long as they can have a meal with the owner of a money store, when they go out and do business with other people, they will have to give them three cents of noodles.
Even if the three points of thin noodles were given to the money bank for their sake, it would still bring them huge benefits. After the gilded invitations were handed into the money shop, Shen Peng's expression became very strange.
Shen Peng was carrying a sandalwood plate with neatly numbered invitations. After entering the room where Yang Peng was resting, he respectfully placed the sandalwood plate on the table in front of Yang Peng. "Why are there so many greetings?" Yang Peng was wearing a snow-white gown, sitting cross-legged in front of a low desk in the wing, reading the news about Princess Tiejing's Mansion handed to him by Jin Yiwei.
After seeing the plate of greeting cards brought by Shen Peng, he was obviously a little surprised. Shen Peng folded his hands in front of his belly and said with a smile: "These are businessmen in the Liao Kingdom. After learning about your arrival, the city lord, they handed over the greeting cards..."
"My identity has been exposed?" Yang Peng was a little surprised. Shen Peng shook his head and said respectfully: "They just want to visit the owner behind the money bank, and they don't know the identity of the city lord." Yang Peng was stunned, nodded, reached out and picked up a greeting card from the plate, opened it and looked at it He looked and threw the plate back. After reading more than a dozen greeting cards in succession, Yang Peng pushed the plate holding the greeting cards in front of Shen Peng.
"What a bunch of prodigal things. They are either rimmed in gold, or chiselled with gold threads, or even gilded. Are you showing off your wealth to me?" Yang Peng waved his hand with a lack of interest, "Take it and think about it. Find a way to get the gold out of it and deposit it into my account." Shen Peng's mouth twitched, but he did as he was told.
Among the aristocratic circles in the world, Yang Peng is probably the only person who can melt invitations handed in by others into gold. Shen Peng really wanted to tell Yang Peng that it would cost far more to hire craftsmen to peel off the gold on them exactly than the gold on these invitations. After dismissing Shen Peng, Yang Peng sat at the desk and continued to read the information handed over by Jin Yiwei.
According to Jin Yiwei's information, the number of guards in Princess Tiejing's Mansion has increased by 30% in recent days. In addition, there were a large number of Guards soldiers on both sides of the street where Princess Iron Mirror lived. The Guards are one of the bodyguards of the Liao royal family, and their number has always been around 3,000. Its combat effectiveness is far more powerful than the elite Pishi Army of the Liao Kingdom. It is somewhat similar to the imperial guards such as the Golden Spear Squad, Yulong Zhiwei and other imperial guards of the Song Dynasty royal family.
These guards were lingering near Princess Tiejing's mansion, and what they did made many people feel unbelievable. That is to expel the Song people. Others might find it a bit baffling, but Yang Peng felt a strong sense of malice from this. It seems that Princess Tiejing has guessed that he has arrived in Shangjing City of Liao Kingdom, so she is secretly targeting him.
However, since Princess Tiejing guessed that he had arrived in Shangjing City of Liao Kingdom, she did not inform Brother Yeluxiu and Queen Mother Xiao, which surprised Yang Peng. Yang Peng clearly knew that he was in a hostile position in the hearts of Brother Yeluxiu and Queen Mother Xiao, two people who stood at the top of power in the Liao Kingdom. I'm afraid, it's only one step lower than Zhao Heng, who was regarded as a serious problem by the Liao Kingdom.
If the two of them knew that Yang Peng had entered Shangjing City, they would definitely send people to seal the four gates, and then invade the territory with a large army to catch turtles in an urn. There has been no big movement in the capital city so far, which just shows that Princess Tiejing has not revealed his identity to Brother Yeluxiu and Queen Mother Xiao. Yang Peng tapped the table with his fingers, trying to figure out Princess Tiejing's thoughts and thinking about how to approach Princess Tiejing's mansion.
Princess Tiejing, on the one hand, showed hostility towards her, and on the other hand, she concealed her whereabouts for him, which puzzled Yang Peng. When Yang Peng was thinking about countermeasures, Shen Peng once again entered Yang Peng's room holding a plate full of invitations. Yang Peng didn't pay attention to those greetings, but turned to ask Shen Peng, "Shen Peng, tell me, is there any way to avoid the eyes of the guards and guards of Princess Tiejing's house and meet my fourth brother? "
Shen Peng smiled and took out an invitation from the invitation plate and placed it in front of Yang Peng, "Maybe this invitation can help."
"Han Mansion?" Yang Peng opened the post and saw two big characters. He raised his head in surprise and asked: "That Han Mansion?" Shen Peng bowed and said: "The Han Mansion owned by Han Derang, Duke of Chu... ..." Han Derang, the Duke of Chu in the Liao Kingdom, was a great figure.
At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Han Derang's grandfather Han Zhigu was robbed to the Liao Kingdom and became a slave. Later, his grandfather relied on being a slave to reach the position of Zhongshu Ling of the Liao Kingdom. Han Derang's father, Han Kuangsi, stayed in Nanjing and was named King of Yan. Later, due to the failure of the battle with the Song army, he was granted the title of Chang Jiedushi of Jin from afar, and his title was reduced to the position of King of Qin.
Han Derang was influenced by his grandfather and father since he was a child. He has extraordinary wisdom and a deep understanding of the principles of governing the country. Later, he became an official and defeated Zhao Guangyi's two campaigns against Liao Dynasty. He was awarded the title of Privy Envoy of the South Court of Liao State and Duke of Chu State. He became the most powerful Han official in the Liao Kingdom.
After Liao Jingzong's death, he and Xiao Zhuo reached a secret agreement and established the current young emperor. Became one of the four auxiliary ministers. In order to win over him, Xiao Zhuo not only promoted him to the title of Duke of Chu, but also granted him the title of the third division of Yitong, Kaifu, and administrative orders. He even gave him the name Dechang.
This would clear his identity as a slave. Even recently, there are rumors that Queen Mother Xiao gave Han Derang a royal surname. And Han Derang was also one of the supporters of Empress Dowager Xiao, who listened to politics behind the curtain. After the two capitals were plundered, the Yelu royal family and the descendants of the Xiao family jointly forced the palace. In order to solve Empress Dowager Xiao's worries, Handerang had secretly begun to plan with Empress Dowager Xiao to reform the system of the Liao Kingdom and implement the Han system in the Liao Kingdom.
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
