Princess Iron Mirror Mansion. Princess Tiejing and Yang Si were sent into the palace by the golden-armored guards in the palace. As soon as she entered the house, Princess Tie Jing cried and lay in Yang Si's arms, "Silang, it was me who hurt you..." Yang Si shook his head gently, hugged Princess Tie Jing, and said in a low voice: "It's not strange. You...everything is my fault..."
Princess Tiejing looked at Yang Si and choked up: "Silang, you stay in the house, I will never let anyone hurt you." Yang Si said, "I can't blame you for this. I want to go out of the city to talk to Yang Peng now." It’s clear, and you should keep an eye on our children at home. I’ll be back after I catch up with Yang Peng, don’t worry.”
Before leaving, Yang Si turned around and told Princess Tiejing, "Go to the Ryukyu Money Store. That is the dowry that Yang Peng left me. Don't let it fall into the hands of outsiders."
dowry? Princess Iron Mirror was a little confused, but she still nodded numbly. She didn't react until Yang Si left. However, Princess Tiejing immediately took the people from the princess's house to Ryukyu Money Bank.
Ryukyu Money Bank is now occupied by the Han family. Although Han Derang, the head of the Han family, was unconscious, the Han family soldiers and generals who were originally staying at Ryukyu Qianhang did not retreat. When Princess Tie Jing rushed to the Ryukyu Money Store, she was stopped by the soldiers of the Han family. The angry Princess Iron Mirror led people to fight directly.
The soldiers of the Han family were beaten and fled. In the past, the Han family was used to being domineering, and no one looked down upon them. Today I finally saw what true domineering means. Although Princess Iron Mirror made mistakes in the incident of Yang Peng entering the capital.
But he was not punished with any real harm. Therefore, she is still the unique domineering princess in Shangjing City. After the Han family soldiers were driven away, they quickly returned to the Han family to report to the eldest son of the Han family. Now Han Derang, the head of the Han family, was seriously injured and was left in the palace to recuperate by Empress Dowager Xiao.
The second son of the Han family entered the palace early in the morning and accompanied his father to fulfill his filial piety. The only person who can make the decision in the mansion is the eldest son of the Han family. "Young Master, we, our people stationed at the Ryukyu Money Bank, were beaten back by the people from Princess Tiejing's Mansion." The housekeeper of the Han family stood respectfully in front of the eldest son of the Han family's soft couch.
The eldest son of the Han family sat on the soft couch, holding a tiger head heater in his hand, frowning and said: "I didn't expect that in the end, that girl Tie Jing actually took advantage of me. Well, since they were beaten back, let them be honest. Stay there and don't go out and cause trouble.
This Liao Kingdom belongs to the Yelu family after all. Our Han family is not qualified to fight with the Yelu family. "Old slave understands." "Has the little sister come back from the palace?" "Reply to the young master, I'm back." The young lady was injured in the palace and is recuperating in the house. "
The eldest son of the Han family sighed and said: "What happened this time is a big blow to my little sister. Please tell me to go down and make everyone in the house smarter so as not to make my little sister unhappy." "Also, Pai People are paying close attention to the movements in the palace. If anything happens to my father, I must be notified immediately. At the same time, you send someone to Zhongjing and ask the old man to come back and take charge."
The housekeeper of the Han family hesitated and asked, "Please come back to the house, please?" The eldest son of the Han family nodded and said, "My father is injured. It is inevitable that someone will take advantage of this to add insult to injury. With the old master in charge, some young people will not dare to act arrogantly in front of our Han family. .” “Old slave understands.”…
Ryukyu Money Bank. After expelling the Han family's garrison at Ryukyu Money Bank, Shen Peng was rescued by Princess Iron Mirror's people. Just half a day. Shen Peng looked a little miserable after being tortured by the Han family. When the guards of the princess palace brought Shen Peng, who was covered in blood, to Princess Tiejing, Princess Tiejing frowned visibly.
"Are you Shen Peng, the manager of Ryukyu Money Bank?" Princess Tie Jing asked arrogantly. Shen Peng straightened up his back slightly and said in a trembling voice: "Shen Peng, the shopkeeper of the Shangjing branch of Ryukyu Money Bank. Who are you?" "How can you talk to our princess?"
The maid next to Princess Iron Mirror immediately scolded her. Shen Peng was slightly startled, and bowed tremblingly: "Old servant Shen Peng, I have met the Fourth Lady." The princess's maid was about to reprimand, but was stopped by Princess Iron Mirror. Obviously, Princess Tiejing was very satisfied with Shen Peng's title.
"Are you a servant of the Yang family?" Shen Peng said with a sad smile: "It used to be...but the city lord has told me that if one day the fourth young master takes over the capital branch of Ryukyu Money Bank, then the old servant will no longer be the city lord's employee. "
Princess Tiejing frowned and said in a deep voice: "Are you an abandoned person like Shiro?" Shen Peng nodded, then shook his head, "There is no such thing as abandonment. The old servant is the city lord's. Old servant. The city lord has the final say whether to stay or go. Now that the city lord has given the old servant to the fourth young master, the old servant will belong to the fourth young master from now on."
Princess Tie Jing nodded thoughtfully, "That's all, since you and Shiro are in the same boat, this Ryukyu money bank will be in your charge from now on." Shen Peng cupped his hand, "Now that the fourth lady has spoken, how dare I not say otherwise?" Obey. According to the rules of the money bank, now that our money bank has no relationship with Ryukyu, we can no longer use Ryukyu as a sign in the future.
What the Qian Bank will be called in the future has to be decided by the Fourth Madam and the Fourth Young Master. In addition, the fourth lady came to take over the money bank today, so she will follow the old servant to take stock of the money in the treasury. "Princess Iron Mirror frowned and said, "Then let's take stock of the treasury first. "
"Please!" Shen Peng took Princess Tie Jing to the backyard of Ryukyu Money Bank. There was a stove in the main hall of the backyard. Shen Peng asked Princess Tie Jing to step aside, and when the two of them were left, he moved away the stove. There is a secret room beneath the furnace. After entering the secret room, you saw a door made of gold and iron.
Shen Peng used the key to open the first lock on the door, and then used a copper hammer to knock on an iron plate on the door. It seems to be a code. The door was opened from inside. Behind the door, two men in black squatted guarding. They didn't speak, but just checked Shen Peng's identity documents. Then he took out the key from his body and unlocked the second door.
And use the same method to knock on the second door. The second channel was also opened from the inside. When Princess Iron Mirror saw the massive wealth in the treasury, she was completely shocked. The dazzling light of gold, silver and jewelry illuminated the entire treasury. Although Princess Tiejing is a royal family member, she has never seen so much money since she was a child. On the way here just now, because of Shen Peng's many demands, many of the dissatisfaction she had with Shen Peng disappeared.
"How much does this cost..." Princess Iron Mirror looked at the massive amount of gold and silver in front of her, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and asked Shen Peng stumblingly. Shen Peng grinned and said: "Reporting to the fourth lady, if converted into silver, it should be more than ten million taels." Princess Tie Jing asked in shock: "These...these were left by Yang Peng..."
Shen Peng said respectfully: "The money bank was left to the fourth young master by the city lord, but most of the money in it belongs to merchant depositors in the capital. We only keep it temporarily." Princess Tie Jing's heart twitched, and she said in despair: "So Say, all this money belongs to others? We are only keeping it temporarily."
Shen Peng pondered for a moment and said in a low voice: "Most of them are ours." Princess Tiejing raised her eyebrows and said, "How do you say that?" Shen Peng smiled bitterly and said: "The people from the Han family took some of the money that lives in the money bank. Most of the big depositors were killed because a lot of money became ownerless."
"Okay!" Princess Iron Mirror shouted excitedly. Shen Peng smiled bitterly and shook his head without saying a word. It was obvious that Princess Iron Mirror was too short-sighted and only saw the immediate benefits, but failed to see the essence of the Qian Bank's existence.
As a shopkeeper who has initially understood the essence of savings, Shen Peng feels that in the future, he may never be able to open the Ryukyu Money Bank's Jingcheng branch and develop it into a super money bank comparable to the Ryukyu Money Bank's Bianjing Branch. . Shen Peng was in pain, but he had no choice. …
When Shen Peng was in pain, Yang Peng seemed even more painful.
After being hit by three arrows and riding a horse for dozens of miles, Yang Peng felt that the blood in his body was almost drained. Yang Peng used a knife to cut off the feathers of the arrows on his body, wrapped the wound roughly with a coarse cloth, and lay on a piece of snow, breathing heavily.
"Shashasha~" There were footsteps approaching, and Yang Peng suddenly got up. Then he saw a woman from the Liao Kingdom, wrapped in a dirty sheepskin coat, approaching him. Yang Peng stared at the woman, and the woman rolled her big eyes and stared at Yang Peng.
"Dong~" The woman picked up a stone from the ground and threw it on Yang Peng. Seeing that Yang Peng was motionless, she quickly jumped on the horse Yang Peng was riding, then howled a strange tune and walked away. When Yang Peng wanted to get up, it was already too late. Yang Peng stared at the woman walking away, stunned for a long time.
"Hahaha..." Then, Yang Peng burst into a hearty laugh. Yang Peng was probably the only one who could still laugh so happily after being picked up. Yang Peng had only heard of the fact that Liao women were good at picking up corpses, but had never seen it before. He didn't expect that one day this kind of thing would happen to him.
The reason why Yang Peng laughed was because the woman who picked up the body had some conscience and did not take the opportunity to take away his clothes, boots and hat. After all, a qualified woman who picks up corpses will strip everything off the corpse and then throw the corpse in the wild to feed the wolves. Of course, it is also possible that the woman saw that Yang Peng was still breathing and was worried about danger, so she first snatched Yang Peng's horse, and then waited a few days before coming back to strip the dead Yang Peng naked.
However, she was destined to be disappointed. Yang Peng lay in the snow for a quarter of an hour. When he felt his whole body starting to get cold, he knew he could no longer lie down. If you lie down again, you will most likely never get up again. Yang Peng lay on the ground, chewed two mouthfuls of snow in the snow, got up, found the direction, and left the place quickly.
Yang Peng left for a day and a night. As soon as Yang Qi approached the Liao city closest to Yang Peng, he saw Liao soldiers conducting strict inspections at the city gate.
The Liao soldiers conducted extremely strict inspections. Basically, all the Song people who entered the city were taken aside by the Liao soldiers. After careful inspection, they searched all places where people could hide.
It's a bit exaggerated to describe it as not even a mosquito can escape, but it's basically the same. Yang Peng was forced to wander in the wilderness. It was not until dusk the next day that Yang Peng finally found a place to stay in the wilderness.
It is a towering mountain. The entire mountain peak is covered with snow. Under the mountain peak, there is a monument with a strange symbol drawn on it. When Yang Qi saw the symbol, he fell down under the monument. After a while, several people emerged from the snow not far from the stone monument.
They checked Yang Peng carefully, then carried Yang Peng up the mountain. In the middle of the mountain peak, there was a hidden canyon, and several people carried Yang Peng into the canyon. There seems to be a cottage in the canyon. There were not many people in the village, just dozens of people. All the men looked like they were not kind-hearted people.
The leading man had a scar on his face. When he saw Yang Peng, he obviously took a breath of air. "Hurry up and get the person in and let that bastard doctor come over for diagnosis and treatment." "Brother, that bastard doctor has already killed three of our brothers..."
"You are the only one who talks a lot." The leading man asked people to carry Yang Peng into a low house in the village. Then I saw other men escorting a little old man and carrying a medicine box to the door of the house.
The leading man stared at the little old man and said only one sentence. "If he is injured, you will be buried with him." The little old man was startled, howling and being stuffed into the house. The leading man was watching closely outside the room. At the same time, he also sent one person down the mountain. When night fell, the little old man treated Yang Peng's wounds. It could be seen that the little old man treated Yang Peng's wounds very carefully.
He was more cautious than he had been treating other people in his life. The leading man has been anxiously guarding the door. When the little old man walked out of the room, he went to greet him.
"How's it going?" the leading man asked with his eyes wide. The little old man said timidly: "My life is saved, but he needs to rest. Moreover, he lost a little too much blood. Your Majesty, you have to find a way to replenish him."
The leading man immediately yelled: "Gou Sheng, Gou Sheng, where is the ginseng you dug in the mountains a few days ago? Hurry up and bring it to me to stew." A small, half-year-old child, A head protruded from the corner of another room. "Uncle, that's a thousand-year-old ginseng..."
"Bullshit thousand-year-old ginseng, hurry up and stew it. If you're too late, I'll chop you to death." The little man came out of the house, covered in filth. He reluctantly took out a small red cloth bag from his arms. "I'm still counting on this thousand-year-old ginseng to get a wife..." The leading man kicked the little man and cursed: "I'll marry you ten wives tomorrow."
"You didn't lie to me?" The leading man's eyes widened and he roared: "Go quickly!" The little man was startled and ran to the kitchen in a hurry. A group of old men have never stewed something as high-end as ginseng soup.
A thousand-year-old ginseng is cut open in the middle, thrown into the water, and boiled. The ginseng soup was ready, and the leading man carefully carried it into the room where Yang Peng was. He seemed very experienced in feeding comatose people.
He took out a bamboo tube from his body, stuffed it into Yang Qi's mouth, and then carefully poured the ginseng soup into the bamboo tube bit by bit. "I'll do it..." A soft voice sounded behind the leading man. The man was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw a man covered in armor and with a mask on his face standing behind him.
"You're here. What's going on? How did he get hurt like this?" The masked man didn't speak. He just took the ginseng soup from the scarred man and fed it to Yang Peng carefully. Yang Peng was in a coma and couldn't feed him the ginseng soup. The man in the mask gritted his teeth and helped Yang Peng drink it directly.
Not only that, the masked man also personally removed the gauze on Yang Peng's body, reapplied medicine to Yang Peng, and bandaged the wound. After everything was done, the masked man stood guard by Yang Peng's bedside.
The scar-faced man asked again: "What's going on?" The masked man shook his head and didn't say a word, but quietly stood by Yang Peng's bedside.
"Hey~" The scar-faced man let out a long sigh and sat beside Yang Peng's bed with the masked man. The two of them just watched Yang Peng quietly all night.
The next day. When Yang Peng was awake, the only one standing by his bedside was the man with the scarred face.
"Are you awake?" Yang Peng nodded, looking at the space beside his bed that the scar-faced man had obviously given up, and then looking at the marks on the bed caused by sitting for a long time, he was slightly stunned.
"He's here?" Scarface nodded honestly. Yang Peng asked: "Where are the people?" Scarface showed an embarrassed look on his face. "Leaving?" "Yeah." Yang Peng shook his head helplessly, "That's it, just leave. Are you going to go back with me this time, or stay?"
Scarface hesitated for a moment, then said solemnly: "I'd better stay... Although I only stayed in Liao for a year, I like the messy feeling of Liao..." Yang Peng glanced at Scarface sideways. At one glance, Scarface blushed. Yang Peng was a little helpless. This guy was used to being a robber outside, and he actually liked the feeling of being a robber. This made Yang Peng speechless.
"That's all, then just follow him." Yang Peng said helplessly. Scarface nodded. Yang Peng asked again: "How is the current situation, can you tell me?" Scarface said in a deep voice: "Brother Yelvxiu has blocked all roads leading from Liao to the northwest, such as Fuxing Pass and Yanmen Pass. It seems like he won't stop until he catches you.
Since yesterday, there has been an endless stream of Liao troops lingering on various roads. We don’t dare to go out, so we only know so much. However, I am sure that Brother Yelvxiu has laid layers of traps on the way to the northwest, waiting for you to fall into the trap. "Yang Peng frowned slightly.
Scarface said again: "How about you stay in our village to avoid the wind, wait until the wind has passed and everything has calmed down, and then go back?" Yang Peng shook his head and said: "I'm afraid I don't have that much time to wait. .The situation in the northwest is very strange now. Zhefu is obsessed with taking a bite out of Dangxiang’s territory. I must go back and keep an eye on it to avoid anything big happening."
"Well!" Yang Peng was not as optimistic as he was. "We are just trying to survive in the cracks. There is a long way to go. Whether it is the Song Dynasty or the Liao Kingdom, they have the power to destroy us at any time. And both of them , also have the intention of destroying us. We must continue to strengthen ourselves before they destroy us. Step by step, we can reach the point where we can arm-wrestle with them."
Scarface sighed with emotion: "This is a big game of chess. I'm just a pawn crossing the river at best." Yang Peng glared at him angrily and cursed: "You were the one who was willing to be a pawn crossing the river, and I didn't force you to do so." Yours." "Hehehe..." Scarface was scolded by Yang Peng, but he was not angry and said with a smile: "Since the road to the northwest cannot be taken, then if you want to go, you can only go south."
Yang Peng muttered: "Go all the way south, to Dading Mansion and then to Youzhou." Yang Peng frowned and said, "It's too troublesome... It will take at least three months for such a hassle..." Scarface said solemnly: " This is the only way." Yang Peng pondered for a moment and said: "This is the only way. I will go back and edit a book, and you can send someone to give it to Jin Yiwei."
"Understood." After deciding on his way back, Yang Peng settled down in the village with peace of mind. Scarface is also stepping up preparations for Yang Peng's food, clothing, housing, transportation and money for his return journey.
Seven days later. The wounds on Yang Peng's body were scabbed, and Yang Peng got on the horse Scarface had prepared for him and embarked on the return journey. Before leaving, Yang Peng looked at the half-grown boy following him, smiled bitterly and said to Scarface: "Why do you want me to take this half-grown boy with you?"
The scar-faced man said with a thief smile: "You ate a thousand-year-old ginseng that someone dug up, and I promised to marry him a ten-room wife. I couldn't do it, so I can only entrust him to you."
Scarface added: "Besides, we brothers are living a life without tomorrow. It would be a waste to let him follow us. He is still young. And this kid is also a good seedling. After training, In the future, I can become a strong soldier in the army." Yang Peng stared at the scarred face and said sadly: "Don't die, Lao He."
Scarface said cheerfully: "I understand, City Lord." "Drive!" Yang Peng rode his horse into the heavy snow. Scarface stood on the top of the mountain, watching Yang Peng disappear, but still refused to leave.
After all, what happened next will be explained later.
