That day, Yang Peng had lunch at Yelu Hanyu's place before bidding farewell to Yelu Hanyu and leaving the villa to return to the city. As soon as I returned to the palace, I received news from Zhongjing of the Liao Kingdom. It was sent back by spies sent in Zhongjing. Detailed information about Yexi Guanyin, such as the guarding situation in the Princess Mansion, such as the specific attitude of the court towards Yexi Guanyin, etc. Wait, in addition, there is also the defense situation of Zhongjing. According to intelligence, although such a serious incident occurred, the defense of Zhongjing has not been strengthened. Maybe it is because the matter has been resolved.
Yang Peng could take action, so he decided to disguise himself and rush to Zhongjing of Liao Kingdom the next day. This time Yang Peng decided to disguise himself as Goryeo refugees. Now due to the invasion of the Japanese, there are countless Goryeo refugees fleeing from Goryeo to Liao Kingdom. Yang Peng and the others are invisible. It won't attract anyone's attention at all.
Yelu Hanyu said: "Brother, why not leave Yanyun affairs to Zhang Xiang now!" Yang Peng nodded and ordered Wang Kai to immediately go to the villa outside the city to summon Yelu Hanyu. Wang Kai took the order and left. Soon after, Yelu Hanyu, dressed as a lady, rushed to the palace. Yang Peng and Yelu Hanyu rushed to Zhongjing to rescue people and asked Zhang Xiang to manage Yanyun's affairs on his behalf. Zhang Xiang frowned and nodded, and glanced at Yang Peng, "Actually, what you are doing is very irrational! As the King of Yan, your relationship is so important. Not to mention Ye Qi Guanyin, all your princesses are in the enemy's hands. , you can’t take any risks!”
Yang Peng said: "If that's the case, am I still a man?" Zhang Xiang sighed and said angrily: "I know you won't listen! Humph, you are a man of unparalleled wisdom and courage, and invincible in the world! But sometimes what you do But he behaves like a common man, which is really irritating!"
Yang Peng smiled and said: "Whether it is a common man or a hero, I have already decided on this matter!" Then he said: "I have sent someone to convey the order for you to take over Yanyun's affairs." He pointed to the desk. "In addition, I also left you a letter of appointment in case you need it in case of emergencies!"
Zhang Xiang said: "You have thought very carefully about things here, but do you have a detailed plan on how to save Yeqi Guanyin?" Yang Peng shook his head and said: "Is it okay to say now? After I get over there to actually see the situation, Only then can we decide on the specific approach!”
Zhang Xiang frowned and said: "Have you ever thought that this may be a trap set by Ye Qi Guanyin for you!" Yang Peng shook his head and said categorically: "She will never use this method on me!"
Zhang Xiang sighed, "I hope she can be worthy of your affection!" Then he said angrily: "That's the bad thing about you, you are too sentimental!" Yang Peng laughed. Early the next morning, Yang Peng, Yelu Hanyu and about two hundred secret guards, disguised as Goryeo refugees, boarded several Goryeo ships and sailed towards Goryeo. Yang Peng planned to land at the mouth of the Yalu River, and then Mix in among the refugees and go to Zhongjing. Several large ships sailed on the sea for several days and arrived at the mouth of the Yalu River. It was close to noon. Looking far away, I could see countless Korean refugees crossing the Yalu River through the bridge and heading north, dragging their families with them. People were panic-stricken. The cries of children made the atmosphere even more miserable. They were refugees; there were Khitan troops on site to maintain order, but they did not stop the refugees from fleeing.
The Khitan soldiers at the port saw a few dilapidated Goryeo ships approaching, but they didn't take it seriously. There were too many refugees escaping by boat like this during this period. Yang Peng and others landed on the ground and first went to an inn in the city to rest, preparing to rest for a night before setting off tomorrow.
After settling down, Yang Peng, Yelu Hanyu, Wang Kai and Xue Fu came to the lobby to eat. At this time, 70% to 80% of the guests were already sitting in the lobby, most of whom were local people and some Koreans. There are also two officers from the Liao Kingdom. Yang Peng winked at Yelutri, and then the four of them came and sat down close to the two officers. The waiter came up to greet him, and Yang Peng ordered some steamed buns, side dishes and tea. The waiter said so and then went down to get ready.
Yang Peng and Yelu Hanyu chatted for a while, then food and tea were brought to them, and the waiter said "take it easy" and left. Yelu Hanyu first cleaned the tea cup for Yang Peng, then filled a cup of tea before caring about himself. Wang Kai, Xue Fu, Yang Peng and Yelu Hanyu all moved their chopsticks before they moved their chopsticks.
The four of them were chatting while eating. At this time, they only heard the two officers at the next table talking, and the four of them stopped talking in unison. The tall officer could only be heard sighing, "I didn't expect that Ye Qi Guanyin would become a rebel. It's really unbelievable! How could Ye Qi Guanyin want to kill the king and seize the throne?"
Another short officer sneered; "Aren't all royal people like this? Who doesn't want to sit in that position! What's so weird about killing the king and seizing the throne! In short, this is the royal family's business, do our shit!" The tall officer sighed. He turned his head and looked at the endless flow of Korean refugees on the street outside. He frowned and said: "There are more and more refugees! I don't know why the court just allows the refugees to come in! So many people, so many mouths, don't want anything." Do you want to eat?" The short officer smiled and said, "It's not because of the Queen Mother of Korea!"
Li Lang, the deputy captain of the secret guard, looked at Yang Peng, "Master, what should I do?" A fierce look flashed in Yang Peng's eyes, he looked back at the approaching Liao cavalry, and whispered: "Get ready to take action! "Li Lang nodded and made a gesture to the crowd.
Yang Peng reined in his horse and stopped, followed by twenty secret guards. Dozens of Liao cavalry immediately surrounded them, encircling Yang Peng and the others, waving their scimitars and screaming like a pack of wolves surrounding their prey. Faced with such a situation, most people would probably be scared out of their wits.
An officer in his thirties came out on horseback. He took a look at Yang Peng and the others. Seeing that they were all dressed in Korean attire, he couldn't help but relax his vigilance and asked in a loud voice: "Who are you?" Yang Peng and the others didn't understand the Khitan language at all, but they roughly guessed what the other party meant. Yang Peng clasped his fists and said, "We are refugees from Korea." The officer frowned when he heard that what Yang Peng spoke was actually Chinese. He got up and shouted: "Get off your horses, we want to check!" He was speaking in Khitan language, which Yang Peng naturally couldn't understand, but seeing the other party's expression, he felt that the matter could not be solved.
At this time, the surrounding Liao cavalry all started making noises and gradually gathered around them, as if they were about to take action. With a cold expression, Yang Peng suddenly pulled out the horizontal knife hidden under his robe and slashed at the officer. The officer only saw a flash of cold light, and before he could react, his head flew into the sky, and blood surged from the broken neck. When all the Khitan troops saw this scene, they were all shocked. At this moment, all the secret guards took action. They drew their swords and rode their horses into the middle of the Khitan army. They swung their swords and killed fiercely. For a moment, they saw blood flying and people falling on their backs. These Liao cavalry were just ordinary cavalry, how could they be secret guards? The opponent in front of them was like a tiger and a wolf fighting a sheep, and the Liao cavalry had no ability to resist.
Most of the Liao cavalry were killed in the blink of an eye, but four Liao cavalry who saw the opportunity quickly escaped from the killing ground and ran towards Zhongjing, as anxious as a bereaved dog and as panicked as a fish that slipped through the net.
The secret guards wanted to catch up, but Yang Peng shouted: "Don't move!" Then he put the horizontal sword into its sheath, opened a large bag on the saddle, took out the cloud-piercing bow, nocked an arrow and bent the bow, and the arrows were flying. The four fleeing Khitan cavalry screamed and fell off their horses one after another. In the end, only four empty horses were left, still running forward without stopping.
Yang Peng withdrew his Cloud-Piercing Bow and saw that there were still more than twenty war horses left at the scene, so he asked everyone: "Replace with their war horses?" Everyone agreed in unison, and then dismounted, abandoning the stupid people's horses and replacing them with A swift and strong war horse. The twenty-one people continued to speed towards Luming Mountain in the south.
When night fell that day, Yang Peng and others arrived at a hill near Luming Mountain. Looking up into the distance, I could see that under a high mountain in the distance, continuous fortifications had surrounded the high mountain; and on the high mountain, there were also many tents scattered, shadowy and shadowy, with many people and horses. Seeing this scene, Yang Peng couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
Following Yang Peng, he carefully observed the terrain around Luming Mountain and found that the mountain forest at his feet was suitable for hiding. So he ordered two secret guards to stay on the top of the mountain to observe the progress of the battlefield, while he led other hidden soldiers into the dense forest below. Among the woods.
Arriving in the woods, Yang Peng got off his horse and tied the horse's reins to the trunk of a tree. All the Hidden Killers also dismounted and tied their horses. Li Lang took out the dry food and water and came to Chen Xiao and presented the dry food and water. Yang Peng took it and started eating and drinking. After a while, he said to Li Lang: "In the evening, you will take people to capture a few scouts and come back." "Yes!"
In the middle of the night, there are no stars or moon in the night sky, and the earth is extremely dark. However, the lights at the foot of Luming Mountain in the distance are particularly eye-catching. The stars are dotted and hazy, just like the floating will-o'-wisps in the wilderness.
The sound of horse hooves sounded from outside the woods. A moment later, Li Lang and ten other secret guards returned. They also captured three Khitan army scouts, all of whom were tied up and gagged. More than a dozen people came to Yang Peng. Li Lang and others got off their horses and pulled the three prisoners off their horses. The three prisoners fell to the ground, whining in pain. Li Lang and two other hidden killers grabbed the three prisoners by their collars, dragged them in front of Yang Peng, and threw them to the ground. Li Lang cupped his fists and said, "Master, we captured three scouts!"
The scene was too dark. Although they were very close, Yang Peng could only see their outlines and could not see their faces at all, so he said to Li Lang: "Light a torch." Yang Peng was not worried about being seen by the Khitan army in the distance. The fire, because this place is behind a small hill and separated from the Liao camp by a hill, the fire here cannot be seen at all from the Liao camp; moreover, the woods here are lush, even if there is no hill to block it, I'm afraid it's impossible to see the fire from such a distance.
Li Lang responded, and then he heard only the snapping sound of flints, bursts of sparks appeared one after another, and suddenly, a group of flames rose up, and the surrounding darkness was immediately dispersed. Everyone was too tired to stay in the darkness. After a long time, I couldn't help but squint my eyes.
Yang Peng looked at the three prisoners kneeling on the ground, and saw that the three prisoners were in a very embarrassed state, with blood stains on their faces. This showed that Li Lang was not gentle at all when he caught them. Among the three people, two had wide eyes and looked very angry, while the other had a wandering look and a frightened look. Yang Peng pointed at the two angry guys and shouted: "Those two, chop them down!" The two secret guards standing behind the two men raised their knives and dropped them with a click sound. Since they started at the same time, they struck twice. The sound of the chop was like a roar, the flame on the torch swayed, the two heads rolled to the ground, and the originally clean grass suddenly became dripping with blood.
The remaining prisoner was so frightened when he saw the two bloody heads of his companions that he began to tremble unsatisfiedly. Then everyone smelled the smell of urine and saw that his crotch was dripping with water. The guy was so scared that he peed his pants.
Yang Peng asked: "Do you understand Chinese?" The man nodded and whined twice. Yang Peng said to Li Lang: "Take off the cloth from his mouth." Li Lang responded and took off the cloth from his mouth. He coughed twice violently, then kowtowed to Chen Xiao and said: "Hero, spare your life, hero, spare your life!" He didn't know who Yang Peng was.
Yang Peng said: "Answer my question, if you are dishonest, your two companions will be your role models!" The prisoner couldn't help but look at the companions beside him. The bloody and ferocious heads frightened him to the extreme, and he hurriedly looked away. He dared to look again and hurriedly said to Yang Peng: "The villain must be honest, he must be honest!"
"How many soldiers and horses have you brought?" the prisoner said immediately: "The generalissimo has mobilized a total of seven battalions of soldiers and horses, with a total of almost 120,000 infantry and cavalry." "What is your arrangement?" The prisoner quickly ordered seven battalions of soldiers and horses. The distribution of the battalion's 120,000 infantry and horsemen was explained in detail. Yang Peng asked again where the grain and grass were stored and where the stables were. The prisoner didn't dare to hide anything and told everything honestly. Yang Peng asked some more questions, but finally found that he could no longer get any valuable information.
Seeing that the other party had finished asking, the prisoner asked cautiously: "Hero, can I go?" Yang Peng looked at him and smiled coldly, "I can send you on your way!" The prisoner was horrified. At this moment, The hidden killer standing behind him raised his knife and brought it down. With a click, a fountain of blood gushed out. The prisoner's head rolled down, and the headless body fell to one side, spurting out blood.
Yang Peng thought about it. The secret guards knew that he was thinking of countermeasures and did not dare to make any sound. At this moment, a secret guard rushed over and reported: "Master, the princess and the queen are here!" Yang Peng showed surprise. He looked up and saw a large group of shadows entering the woods and heading this way. come over. After a moment, they came to the front. The leader was none other than Yelu Hanyu, with a look of resentment and annoyance in his eyes. Behind her were Xue Fu, Wang Kai and more than a hundred secret guards.
Xue Fu, Wang Kai and other Hidden Killers got off their horses one after another and said in greeting: "I have met the master." Yelu Hanyu also dismounted, but turned his head and ignored Yang Peng. It seems that her anger has not subsided yet!
Yang Peng asked Xue Fu: "Why are you here so soon?" He still didn't look at himself, feeling love, guilt, and a little bit of irritation in his heart. He walked up and whispered: "Little sister!" Yelu Hanyu snorted and turned around, refusing to face Yang Peng. Seeing this situation, Xue Fu made a gesture to everyone, and everyone left quietly. Only Yang Peng and Yelu Hanyu were left at the scene.
Yang Peng grabbed Yelu Hanyu's delicate hand from behind. Yelu Hanyu struggled hard, but failed to break free, but he stopped struggling and said angrily: "Scoundrel!" Yang Peng leaned into her ear and whispered: "Don't be jealous, okay! If it were you, I would be even more anxious than now!" Yelu Hanyu's heart trembled, she turned around, looked at Yang Peng angrily, raised her slender jade finger and poked it Yang Peng's chest said angrily: "You troublesome scoundrel! Did I owe you something in my previous life?" Yang Peng held her delicate hand, brought it to her mouth, kissed it softly, and said softly: "We must have been together in our previous life. We are also husband and wife, and we agreed at that time that we would be husband and wife in the next life, so we met and fell in love again!"
Yelu Hanyu's beautiful eyes revealed tender feelings, and then he said angrily: "Humph! You know how to talk sweet words! I'm afraid I'm not the only one who was married to you in my last life! I suffered such idleness in my last life, and now I have to do it again in this life It’s really irritating to be treated with such idleness!”
Yang Peng gently kissed Yelu Hanyu's red lips. Yelu Hanyu was so moved by Yang Peng's kiss that she suddenly thought of the people around her and quickly looked around, but there was not even half a figure anywhere. Yelu Hanyu said angrily: "Why are those guys hiding?" Yang Peng looked around and said with a smile: "How about I call them all back?" Yelu Hanyu shook his head, "No!" Yang Peng was very worried. He asked in confusion: "Little sister, do you want them by your side, or not?" Yelu Hanyu glared at Yang Peng, "You're teasing me again!" Yang Peng chuckled and turned Yelu Han Yu embraced him in his arms. Yelu Hanyu smiled sweetly, stretched out his hands and hugged Yang Peng's waist.
After being gentle for a moment, Yelu Hanyu raised his head and frowned and said: "The Khitan army surrounded Luming Mountain like an iron barrel. How are you going to save people? I have something to say first, you can't ignore your own safety just to save that woman!" "Yang Peng nodded, "Don't worry! Brother, I haven't lived enough yet! I still want to be husband and wife with you for a hundred years!" Yelu Hanyu chuckled and rolled his eyes at Yang Peng, "How can such a good thing happen? Ah!" Then he said with a longing look on his face: "By then, we will all be too old to walk!" Then he became worried and glanced at Yang Peng, "You will definitely not like me by then. I'd better die earlier. Okay!" Yang Peng glared at her and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about! Isn't it a very happy thing for us to grow old together? If you dare to die early, my eldest brother will definitely accompany you. !”
Yelu Hanyu was so moved that she buried herself in Yang Peng's arms and hugged Yang Peng's waist tightly. After a while, the two separated, but they still held hands. I walked to a very clean piece of grass nearby and sat down. Yelu Hanyu asked: "What are you going to do?"
Yang Peng told him a plan he had just made plans with. Yelu Hanyu frowned, "Isn't this too risky! After all, we only have less than two hundred people!" Yang Peng smiled and shook his head, "That's enough! As long as Brother Ye Qianxiu can be caught off guard, the situation will be dire. It can be reversed immediately!" Yelu Hanyu was silent for a moment and asked, "Do you need to send someone to contact Yeqi Guanyin?"
Yang Peng shook his head, "No need. As long as Ye Qi Guanyin sees the movement in the military camp at the foot of the mountain, she will take action, otherwise she will not be Ye Qi Guanyin." Yelu Hanyu said angrily: "You really know her!" Yang Peng didn't say anything. A smart man would pretend not to hear at this time.
An hour later, the night became darker. Perhaps it was because the clouds in the sky had thickened. At this time, it was really hard to see. Yang Peng left Ye Qian to watch the cold rain and led fifty secret guards to stay in the woods to respond. He himself led more than a hundred secret guards to leave the woods on horseback and quietly advanced towards the Khitan military camp. The Khitan military camp in the distance was huge, lit with fire, and very quiet.
More than a hundred people came to the neighborhood. At this moment, the Chinese army's tent in the camp suddenly lit up, and at the same time, many generals were vaguely seen walking into the tent quickly. Wang Kai showed a worried look and asked in a low voice: "Master, has the opponent discovered us?" Yang Peng couldn't judge, and carefully scanned the situation of the entire military camp, except for the sudden gathering of generals at the big tent. , there are no other abnormal situations, but this may also be an enemy formation deliberately set up. It is often difficult to tell the reality on the battlefield, so luck actually plays a big role on the battlefield. proportion!
Yang Peng hesitated for a moment and said decisively: "Act as planned!" Wang Kai responded and passed on the order. More than a hundred secret guards immediately divided into three teams. One team followed Yang Peng and stayed in place, while the other two teams took advantage of the thick night. They took cover and sneaked into the Khitan army's camp from the left and right. A long time passed, but there was no sound from the camp, as if everything was as usual; Yang Peng frowned, he was worried that Wang Kai and the others had encountered something unexpected?
Just when Yang Peng was uneasy, the place where the Khitan army stored food and grass suddenly lit up, and then a fire dragon rose into the sky, followed by four blazing flames, quickly turning into a prairie fire. Yang Peng couldn't help but feel happy when he saw this situation. At this moment, a loud rumbling sound resounded through the night sky. By the light of the fire, I could see countless frightened war horses rushing into the military camp like a mountain torrent, trampling everything they passed. There were screams and shouts in the Khitan army camp Ringed.
Brother Ye Qianxiu and his generals who were discussing matters in the big tent were very surprised and puzzled when they heard the movement outside: Could it be a surprise attack by the princess? At this moment, an officer stumbled in and reported urgently: "Oh no, Generalissimo, the enemy has burned our food and grass, and countless cavalry rushed into the camp!" This officer must have filled the military camp. The random war horses were attacked as enemy cavalry. No wonder such a mistake would occur. In the middle of the night, the sky was filled with fire and chaos. Only the rumble of horse hooves could be heard, accompanied by screams and shouts. I am afraid that anyone would think that there were countless people. Enemy war cavalry rushed into the military camp.
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
