"General, the princess is innocent, but Brother Yeqianxiu is very likely to be the real treacherous thief! In this case, I am afraid that Brother Yeqianxiu will want to kill the princess in Bei'an Prefecture!"
Xiao Yebule was shocked, frowned, and said nothing. Xiao Kan continued: "Nothing can be hidden from the world forever. As the saying goes, paper cannot contain fire. Once the truth is revealed in the future, how will the general deal with himself? At that time, people will say that the princess was killed in Bei'an Prefecture "General Xiao Yebule must be in cahoots with brother Ye Qianxiu. Will Ye Qian Hucheng, Ye Qian Longqing and others let the general go?" Xiao Yebu Le's expression changed drastically. …
After Brother Yeqiu Xiu sent away Xiao Yebule and others, he came to the yard where Yeqi Guanyin was under house arrest and saw Yeqi Guanyin. At this time, Yeqi Guanyin was sitting in front of the moon cave window, with her back to the door. Brother Ye Qixiu smiled proudly, led several of his warriors forward, came behind Ye Qi Guanyin, bowed slightly, "Imperial Aunt!" Ye Qi Guanyin suddenly heard Brother Ye Qi Xiu's voice, and frowned. Wrinkled, turned around. Looking at the young man in front of him who seemed to be submissive but actually very proud, he said coldly: "Here you are! You really can't wait to kill me!" Then he nodded, "It's no wonder, if I were alive in the world, you would I’m afraid I’ll have trouble sleeping and eating!”
Brother Ye Qianxiu said calmly: "What the emperor said is wrong. You committed regicide and rebellion and committed a heinous crime. I dare not show favoritism and can only deal with it impartially. Please forgive me!"
"Justice? Huh, if you want to enforce the law impartially, you should kill yourself immediately!" Brother Yexiu laughed and said, "I don't understand what the emperor said!" The anger accumulated by Yeyi Guanyin during this period suddenly burst out. , suddenly stood up and said angrily: "You were the one who killed the emperor. You set up all this. Stop pretending to be in front of me!" He picked up the teacup on the coffee table next to him and threw it at Brother Ye Qianxiu. , the distance was so close, Ye Qi Guanyin struck out angrily again, Brother Ye Qi Xiu saw the teacup flying towards the ground, he could not dodge it, there was a crisp sound, the tea cup hit Brother Ye Qi Xiu's forehead, and blood immediately flowed out. .
When the few warriors brought by Brother Yeqianxiu saw this, they hurriedly stepped forward to protect Brother Yeqianxiu. At this time, Yeqiang Guanyin no longer had the intention to continue taking action. She pointed at Brother Yeqianxiu and cursed angrily: "You Why didn’t I see this scum that brought disaster to the country and the people?”
Brother Yeqianxiu took out a brocade handkerchief from his arms, wiped the blood on his face, raised his head and looked at Yeqiang Guanyin. At this time, there were still many blood stains on his face, and he looked very angry, looking very ferocious. Listen to his insidious words: "You are so rampant even when you are about to die!"
Ye Qian Guanyin looked at Brother Ye Qianxiu with great disdain, "Are you very proud that your conspiracy has succeeded?! The clown is still here to be smug!" Brother Ye Qianxiu sneered: "If I were a clown, , Why did the imperial aunt end up in such a situation? Isn't she worse than a clown like me?"
Ye Qi Guanyin turned to look out the window and said calmly: "Playing with power and conspiracy is nothing more than fighting for power in the nest. Foreign enemies will not accept this!" He turned to look at Brother Ye Qi Xiu angrily, "We, the Liao Kingdom, are already having a hard time facing Yan Yun. Now that you have made such a fuss, I am afraid that we will no longer be able to compete with Yan Yun alone! You only know how to play tricks internally to gain power, while King Yan Make Yanyun grow and develop rapidly! In the future, even if you ascend the throne of the emperor, have you ever thought about how you should face Yanyun and how you should face King Yan! He is an unparalleled hero, and you are no match for him. , no one will pity you if you are shattered to pieces, but because of your personal ambition, you have harmed the entire Liao Kingdom. How will you face the ancestors of my Khitan clan after your death?!"
Brother Ye Qianxiu said angrily: "Of course you would say that. Who doesn't know the relationship between you and Yang Peng? In your heart, you wish that the Liao Kingdom was defeated by Yan Yun! It's not unfair to say that you are rebellious. You!" Ye Qi Guanyin said proudly: "I love King Yan, so what? This does not hinder my loyalty to the Liao Kingdom!" Brother Ye Qi Xiu smiled coldly.
Ye Qi Guanyin's expression softened, and she said earnestly: "Brother Xiu, it's not too late to look back now! I can promise you that I will let you sit on the throne. I just hope that you will stop being selfish and work with us to strengthen Daliao." Country!" Brother Ye Qianxiu couldn't help but feel a little moved. Isn't that what he has been seeking all along? If the emperor's aunt can assist him, Yeqianhu City will definitely have no objections. In this case, it can be said that ascending to the throne is a matter of course. Brother Yeqianxiu can't help but feel excited. However, when I thought about it, I was afraid that the emperor's aunt did not really want to assist her, but that it was her escape plan. Once she escaped, let alone assisting her to ascend the throne, she would not even let go of her sin of regicide; not to mention him. The plan has reached this stage. It can be said that victory is certain. There is no need to rely on the power of the emperor's aunt. It is better not to take risks.
Ye Qi Guanyin saw that Brother Ye Qi Xiu was very moved at first, and thought that she had convinced him, but then she saw that his face turned from clear to dark, implying murderous intent. She couldn't help but sighed secretly, knowing that she had failed to convince this man after all. The obsessed brother Ye Qianxiu. Brother Ye Qianxiu glanced at Ye Qian Guanyin and said, "I don't know what the emperor is talking about. Everything I do is for the great Liao Kingdom. I can learn from this!"
Ye Qi Guanyin sighed and shook her head. After a moment of silence, he said calmly: "I hope you will tell me what happened." Seeing Brother Yeqianxiu's hesitation, he sneered: "Now that we have reached this point, are you still afraid of anything?" Brother Yeqianxiu showed his hesitation. I think so, and it feels uncomfortable to keep such a sophisticated strategy in my heart. I really want to tell others, especially Aunt Yu, that she knows, so that she can admire his extraordinary strategy. So he nodded and said with a triumphant smile: "If I don't say it out, I'm afraid that the emperor's aunt will die without peace of mind! Brother Xiu will help the emperor's aunt!"
At this time, Han Chang brought a stool and placed it in front of Brother Yeqianxiu. Brother Yeqianxiu stepped forward, sat down, collected his thoughts, and said: "Actually, the whole thing is not complicated. Originally, I didn't I planned to take action so soon, but when I realized that the emperor's aunt was conspiring with the emperor to deal with me, I changed my mind. To be honest, when I learned the news, I was very scared. I knew how to treat the emperor's aunt. After defeating the Japanese, it would be my end if I returned to the imperial court. I had to act first. A plan to frame and frame Jiangdong was quickly hatched in my mind!"
"But there was a difficulty at that time. Xiao Qianxiong, the imperial guard general of the imperial palace, was a close confidant of the emperor's aunt and was loyal to her. With him leading the army to protect the emperor, it would be impossible for me to kill the emperor silently! …”
Ye Qi Guanyin nodded, frowned and said, "This was originally what I didn't understand the most, but after thinking about it for a while, I thought of a possibility, and this is the only possibility!" He turned to look at Brother Ye Qi Xiu. , eyes blazing, "Under normal circumstances, Xiao Qianxiong would never betray me, but Xiao Qianxiong is a filial son, extremely filial to his only mother. You must have captured his mother to threaten him, so he obeyed obediently. , first help you kill the king, and then prove in front of all the ministers that I am the mastermind behind it!"
Brother Ye Qianxiu said with emotion: "The emperor's aunt is the emperor's aunt. I really can't hide anything from you! That's it. What the emperor's aunt said can be said to be accurate!"
Ye Qian Guanyin sighed, "Xiao Qianxiong committed suicide because he felt ashamed of me and His Majesty!" He suddenly turned his head and looked at Brother Ye Qianxiu, "Where is Xiao Qianxiong's mother?" Brother Ye Qianxiu made a secret guess. He smiled and said: "Her son is dead. Wouldn't it be painful for her to live as an old guy in the world?" Ye Qi Guanyin shouted sternly: "Did you kill her?" Brother Ye Qi Xiu said: "You can't say that, you can say that I She has been fulfilled! She and her precious son have been reunited in the underworld!"
Yeqiang Guanyin said angrily: "Brother Yeqianxiu, I don't blame you for trying to seize the throne, but you shouldn't be so vicious!" Brother Yeqianxiu snorted, "There is a saying among the Han people, a man who is not poisonous will not be a husband! Those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters. What does a little sacrifice mean?" He glanced at Ye Qi Guanyin and said in a mocking tone: "If I were as indecisive and benevolent as the imperial aunt, I'm afraid I would be the prisoner now. Not the royal aunt!"
Ye Qi Guanyin glared at Brother Ye Qi Xiu for a long time, and suddenly sighed, "You are right, I should not have tolerated you in the first place, which caused such a disaster today!" Brother Ye Qi Xiu bowed proudly. : "Thank you so much for taking care of me. I'm afraid Brother Xiu will never be able to repay this kindness in his lifetime!"
Ye Qi Guanyin snorted coldly, with a look of extreme disgust on her beautiful face, and shouted: "I don't want to see you, get out of here!" Brother Xiu stood up and bowed: "In that case, Brother Xiu will I won’t disturb the royal aunt’s rest, so I’ll take my leave.” Then he led a few warriors and left.
After leaving the yard, Han Chang, a close confidant beside Brother Ye Qianxiu, said: "Generalissimo, why didn't you kill her just now?" Brother Ye Qianxiu sneered and said: "This matter is best carried out by Xiao Yebu Le! "Han Chang understood Brother Ye Qianxiu's thoughts and couldn't help but admired: "The Generalissimo is really brilliant!"
At this time, Xiao Yebu Le was pacing back and forth in the tent, hesitating. Xiao Kan's words just now made him restless. Just as Xiao Kan said, if brother Ye Qianxiu killed the princess in his territory, Xiao Ye would not It is absolutely difficult to get rid of Le. Once the truth is revealed in the future and Ye Qi Hucheng and others are investigated, he will be dead if he refuses to defend himself. However, it will be very difficult for him to openly go against Generalissimo Ye Qi Xiu. If he does this , Brother Ye Qianxiu will definitely not let him have good fruits.
Xiao Yebule stopped and looked at Xiao Lun, "You are my soldier, why don't you say a word?" Xiao Lun smiled bitterly and said: "How dare you talk about this matter? If you are not careful, I'm afraid... The consequences of confiscating your family and annihilating your clan!"
Xiao Kan said: "The consequences between the two are indeed very serious! The general might as well look at this issue from another angle. If we only look at it from the perspective of Wang Fa, Brother Ye Qianxiu really shouldn't be here to rectify the law against the empire. A princess with great achievements must go through a royal referendum before she can be executed! The general is only acting in accordance with the royal law to maintain the safety of the princess. Brother Ye Qianxiu can't blame the general! On the contrary, if the general condones Ye Qianxiu Brother, it is against the law. In the future, when the truth of the matter is revealed, and the army of Ye Qian Hucheng and others are called to investigate the crime, how can the general defend himself? Isn't it obvious which one is more serious?"
Xiao Lun nodded, "Xiao Kan is right!" He looked at Xiao Yebule. Xiao Yebu Le was already inclined to save the princess, but he still couldn't make up his mind. This determination was not so easy to make!
At this moment, an officer rushed in and reported: "General, the Grand Marshal invites you to come to discuss something!" Xiao Yebu Le was startled, "What could it be?" Then he said to Xiao Kan: "Brother Xiao, don't leave. , I’ll come as soon as I go.” He turned to the officer and said, “Don’t let brother Xiao go, and don’t neglect him!” The officer promised. Xiao Yebule led Xiao Lun out of the tent in a hurry.
Xiao Kan lowered his head and thought, frowning tightly. Everyone must have been speculating on the identity of this Xiao Kan. This Xiao Kan is tall, bearded, and dark-skinned like an African. However, this is not his true appearance. He is actually Yang Peng pretending to be. Logically speaking, Yang Peng should not take this risk, but the matter was urgent and Yang Peng could not care so much, so he disguised himself and sneaked into Bei'an Prefecture to try to persuade Ye Bule. Of course, Yang Peng did not seek medical treatment in a hurry, but had a purpose. On the battlefield that day, Xiao Yebu was very respectful to Ye Qi Guanyin, and obviously did not agree with the charges the court placed on her, while still retaining With these two points in mind, Yang Peng judged that Yebule was likely to be persuaded by his awe of the princess Ye Qi Guanyin, so he sneaked into Bei'an Prefecture and persuaded him with words.
At this moment, Yang Peng was thinking: What should he do if Xiao Yebule doesn't agree? In that case, we can only find a way to hijack Xiao Yebule! This is a last resort and should never be used unless absolutely necessary! Let’s see what he says when he comes back later.
About two-quarters of an hour later, Xiao Lun came back, but Xiao Yebu Le was nowhere to be seen. Yang Peng's heart skipped a beat. He was worried that Xiao Yebule had ordered Xiao Lun to come back to capture him. Although he was confident of breaking out of the siege, he was afraid that he would not be able to save Guanyin! what to do? Now how to do?
Just when Yang Peng was thinking about countermeasures secretly, Xiao Lun came forward and said: "The general invites Mr. Xiao to go to the general's mansion!"
Yang Peng's heart sank to the bottom, and he secretly held the dagger hidden in his sleeve with his right hand, and said angrily: "I thought Xiao Yebule was a general loyal to the Liao Kingdom, but I didn't expect that he would go to Yebu for his own selfish interests. Brother Qianxiu is flattering!" Yang Peng's words meant that Xiao Yebule wanted to hand him over in order to please Brother Qianxiu. If Xiao Yebule had heard this, he would not have understood the implication. However, Xiao Lun was a scholar who had taken the top exam in the Liao Kingdom, so he naturally understood what Yang Peng meant and said with a smile: "Brother Xiao, you misunderstood. ! The general is not going to hand Brother Xiao over to Brother Ye Qianxiu, but wants to ask Brother Xiao to discuss matters related to the princess! Don’t delay, come with me now!”
Yang Peng was still full of doubts: 'Is what he said true or false? Did you say this on purpose, just to deceive me and then deal with it? But why would he take such measures when I was alone? He could have just ordered the army to capture me! '
Xiao Lun saw that Yang Peng seemed to be thinking about something, and roughly guessed what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xiao, there is no need to worry. If we want to be disadvantageous to you, why use such methods!"
Yang Peng raised his head, clasped his fists and said, "Master, please lead the way!" Xiao Lun turned around and walked outside, followed closely by Yang Peng. Although he felt that the possibility of the other party harming him was unlikely, he did not dare to take it lightly. Yang Peng had already I had made a plan in my mind to leave the city immediately if the situation changed.
The two entered the heavily guarded gate of the General's Mansion and entered the hall. They saw Xiao Yebu Le sitting at the head, but Brother Ye Qianxiu and others were missing. Xiao Lun bowed to Ye Bu Le, and Yang Peng also bowed his hands to him. He looked around and asked, "I heard that Marshal Ye Qianxiu is here and he lives in the general's mansion?" Xiao Lun He said: "Originally, yes, but the generalissimo was too polite and returned the general's palace to the general. He and his party have already moved to the military camp outside the city."
Xiao Yebu Le waved his hand and said impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense, let's discuss business! Huh, brother Ye Qianxiu is so disgusting, he actually ordered me to execute the princess. He doesn't want to take the blame, but wants to I'll carry it!" Yang Peng was concerned but confused. When he heard this, he couldn't help being surprised and asked hurriedly: "The general didn't do what he wanted, did he?" Xiao Yebu said: "Of course not! "Glancing at Yang Peng, he frowned and asked, "Are you a subordinate of the princess? Why have I never seen you?" Yang Peng hesitated for a moment and saw Xiao Yebu Le, "Since the king asked so, I also I won’t hide it anymore! My name is Kahn, and I am a general under the princess’ command!” He then bowed and said, “I didn’t tell the truth before, so please forgive me, General!”
Xiao Yebu Le looked as if this was indeed the case. Xiao Lun, who joined the army, looked at Yang Peng and said, "I have long heard that many warriors from the west have joined the princess's command. I didn't expect it to be true!" After a pause, he said in amazement: "I didn't expect that you, a foreigner, would be so loyal to the princess, and would risk your life to save her!" Xiao Lun and Xiao Yebu Le had no doubts about Yang Peng's identity. In their minds, there was no one else in the world today except Apart from Yang Peng, probably only the trusted generals of Yedi Guanyin would take such a risk to save her.
Yang Peng said to Xiao Yebule: "General, I wonder what you are going to do?" Xiao Yebule frowned and said: "I have already thought about it! If I do this, I may not be able to live in peace if I want to. In this case , I will risk my life and save the princess’s life no matter what!”
Yang Peng was very grateful and said: "Thank you, General!" Xiao Yebule frowned and said: "But my ability is limited after all. If Ye Qi Guanyin is still locked up here, I can guarantee her safety, but once she leaves here , I can't do anything! If I don't carry out the order of Ye Qi Guanyin, Brother Ye Qi Xiu will definitely take the princess to the capital, and then he can kill her anywhere on the road!" Yang Peng said quickly: "Now we need to invite you. The general is trying to delay as much time as possible! To be honest, some of us have gone to Yeli Hucheng to ask for help. As long as we delay for some time, things will definitely turn around!"
When Xiao Yebule heard this, he couldn't help but feel happy, "It would be great if Yeli Hucheng came forward!" Xiao Lun nodded with deep sympathy. Yang Peng said eagerly: "General, I want to see the princess. Please be accommodating, General!"
Xiao Yebule hesitated for a moment, feeling that since he had already made up his mind to disobey the Generalissimo's order, it would be better to sell him a favor. He nodded and said: "Yes, but the time cannot be long. What will happen if Brother Ye Qianxiu finds out?" That's trouble!" Yang Peng said gratefully: "Thank you, General!" Xiao Yebu looked at Yang Peng and said, "I also want to remind you, don't pay attention to anything, otherwise I won't be polite!" "General!" Don't worry, I'm not a ungrateful person, nor am I a fool. The three and outer floors of this general's mansion are like iron barrels. How dare I act rashly? I just want to see our princess!" Yebule! He nodded, "As long as you know the importance!" Then he said to Xiao Lun: "Take General Kahn to meet the princess!" Xiao Lun responded and asked Chen Xiao to leave.
The two came out of the hall, followed the bluestone path through an arch, and then passed through the back garden with lush grass and trees, and entered a separate courtyard. The courtyard was surrounded by armored warriors. Although Nabule was very respectful to Ye Qi Guanyin, he did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
Xiao Lun led Yang Peng to the steps outside the wooden building and stopped. Xiao Lun bowed and reported to the wooden building: "Princess Qi, a general named Kahn under your command is here and wants to see you!" Yeqi Guanyin in the middle came to her senses when she heard the voice, and then murmured very strangely: "How could that yellow-haired ghost come to see me without fear of suspicion?" No wonder Yeqi Guanyin had this question, her subordinates who came from the West Huang Mao's generals all came to her out of desperation. Those people only had interests in their eyes and no loyalty at all. How could they come to see her regardless of suspicion? Maybe it’s something else!
Thinking of this, he smiled coldly, "What else can I do for you to plot? Let's see what tricks you are going to play!" After thinking about this, he shouted outside: "Come in."
When Xiao Lun heard this, he immediately turned around and called Yang Peng, led Yang Peng up the steps, pushed the door open and went in. Yang Peng looked around impatiently and saw a beautiful figure sitting on the main seat in front, with a stern and calm expression. Yang Peng couldn't help but get excited. Ye Qi Guanyin heard that the person who came was Kahn, but when he saw the appearance of the person who came, it was completely different. He couldn't help but feel suspicious. Then he saw the fiery eyes of Kahn, and he was immediately confused and immediately became confused. Very angry, but remained calm.
Xiao Lun bowed respectfully to Ye Qi Guanyin: "My lord, meet the princess!" Yang Peng also bowed to Ye Qi Guanyin, and then said to Xiao Lun: "Sir, I want to talk to the princess alone." Ye Qi Guanyin. He frowned but still said nothing; Xiao Lun hesitated, nodded and said: "Okay, but don't take too long!" Then he bowed to Ye Qi Guanyin, bowed and retreated. Yang Peng immediately walked to the door and closed the door.
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
