Du Cai came to the inn and reported to Yang Peng the situation outside and the dynamics of the court. When Naren heard that the imminent conflict between Wang Jun and Brother Yeganxiu had been suppressed by the people of Yegan Hucheng and Han Derang, she became very anxious and said to Yang Peng, "Your strategy won't work!"
Yang Peng touched his chin and thought for a moment, then sneered and said: "In that case, I will add fuel to their fire!" Then he revealed his plan. Naren asked with some doubt: "Will this work?" Yang Peng said: "It doesn't hurt to try!" Then he said to Wang Kai and Xue Fu: "You go down and prepare immediately. We will take action at midnight tonight!" The two agreed and went down to prepare.
Jinchiyuan is a villa given to Wang Jun by Emperor Taizong. This villa was originally the residence of a prince from the former Liao Dynasty. It is vast and splendid, with waterside pavilions, bell towers and halls, all of which are row upon row, making it extremely beautiful. Nowadays, this Golden Pond Garden has become a place used by the king to recruit talents. Li Chonglong, who is now in charge of the palace guard, and Jin Tongtian, the commander of the 100,000 Goryeo Army, were all selected through this Golden Pond Garden.
It was already midnight, and everything in the city was very quiet, but there was still a noisy and lively scene in Jinchi Garden. Hundreds of Korean heroes living in Jinchi Garden were drinking, singing, and dancing, and had a great time. It’s hard to say whether these people are heroes, but these people are indeed good at singing and dancing.
A drunk Korean man staggered away from the crowd, walked to the darkness of the corridor, opened his pants facing the outside, and prepared to urinate. At this moment, a dark shadow flashed behind him, and the Korean man suddenly felt that his mouth and nose were being covered from behind. He thought someone was joking with him, and was about to have an attack when he suddenly felt a cold sensation on his neck, and then lost consciousness. . The man in black dragged the body of the Korean man aside and threw it into the bushes. Then he imitated the cry of a cuckoo and saw countless black shadows pouring out of the bushes.
All the Korean people were drinking happily in the backyard, most of them were already drunk, laughing and joking, and they were all enjoying themselves.
At this moment, countless masked men in black clothes suddenly rushed out from around them. The Korean people didn't react for a while when they saw this. Suddenly, there was only a whooshing sound in the air, which was the sound of the crescent moon's flying blade tearing through the air. The Koreans were caught off guard, and many of them were shot down immediately. The other Koreans were horrified, and they were completely awakened from their drunkenness. They saw those masked men in black pulling out their long knives and rushing in to kill them. Blood and flesh were flying everywhere. The Koreans almost thought that a group of demons were coming to kill them, so they ran around screaming, using their hands and feet, and they only regretted that their parents had lost two legs. The masked men in black chased them with knives, and the fleeing Koreans were chopped down to the ground. In a short time, the two hundred Koreans reveling in the backyard were all chopped to death. The originally happy scene turned into A hellish scene.
"Spread out on all sides and act according to plan!" the leader of the masked men in black ordered. Nearly two hundred masked men in black immediately spread out in all directions and ran toward the surrounding courtyards.
Those Koreans staying in the courtyard were frightened out of their wits when they saw the massacre in the garden. When they saw those devil-like men in black running toward their courtyard, they immediately panicked like ants on a hot pot. , those who moved quickly climbed over the wall and escaped, while those who moved slowly had no time to escape, so they had to hide nearby, some hid in the closet, and others got into the bushes, not daring to come out for fear of being heard by those men in black. .
I heard those men in black breaking into the yard, searching in all directions, and suddenly there was a loud cry for mercy. The Korean people hiding in the dark immediately knew that someone had been found by the men in black, and they were shocked and almost lost their breath. Dare to go out. Then a scream came, and the Korean hiding in the dark was so scared that his crotch felt cold. It turned out that he had peed his pants, and he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, but then he became extremely worried, for fear that he had peed. The stinky smell attracted the gods of death. My heart was pounding, and I kept praying to the gods and Buddhas in the sky for blessings.
What made the Koreans hiding in the dark a little relieved was that the masked men in black stopped searching after killing the unlucky guy. I only heard a man in black say: "Should we search again?" The man in black next to him said: "That's not necessary. Those who are not dead must have escaped!" The man in black who spoke before said in a very angry tone: "That Korean woman dares to send people to assassinate our Generalissimo. Even if we kill all these Korean brats, we won't be able to express our hatred!" The Koreans hiding in the dark were moved when they heard this, and they couldn't help but secretly said: It turns out, It turns out that these masked men in black were sent by Brother Ye Qianxiu. This matter must be reported to the Queen Mother to avenge the dead brothers!
Another man in black said: "Okay, don't talk nonsense, let's go look elsewhere!" Then the sound of footsteps came, gradually went away, and after a while, it was no longer heard. The Koreans hiding in the dark judged that the black-clothed and masked men had left, but they still did not dare to come out or take a breath.
When the sky got dark, the Koreans who were hiding everywhere dared to come out one after another. I saw killed companions everywhere, especially by the lake in the garden, where the corpses of more than two hundred companions were strewn all over the ground. It was really terrible! The Korean people who had escaped could not help but feel sad. Some couldn't help crying, and some just felt a wave of fear, and their legs went weak and they collapsed on the ground.
The king was still sleeping when he was suddenly awakened by the shouts of the palace maid. She frowned and said angrily: "Why is it so noisy?" The palace maid stood outside the door and said anxiously: "My Lady, something big has happened!"
Wang Jun's heart moved and he sat up. The quilt slid off his body, revealing his crystal clear skin and sexy body. He said loudly: "Come in!" The door creaked and the palace maid walked in quickly. When he came to the bed, he bowed and said: "Your Majesty, those people in Jinchiyuan ran outside the palace gate, knelt on the ground and cried, it seems that something big happened!"
The king frowned, "Jinchiyuan? What could happen in Jinchiyuan?" A bad premonition arose in his heart. He quickly got out of bed and put on his clothes under the service of the palace maid, without even bothering to dress up. Left the palace. He hurried to the gate tower at the palace gate, and Li Chonglong, who had arrived first, came up to greet the king. Wang Jun stood on the gate tower and looked down. Sure enough, he saw a hundred Korean people kneeling on the ground crying. Wang Jun knew several of them, having seen them in Jinchiyuan. Wang Jun frowned and said to Li Chonglong: "Open the palace door and let them in!" Li Chonglong responded and immediately gave the order.
The palace door slowly opened, and the Koreans quickly stood up and ran into the palace. When all the Koreans rushed in, the palace door was closed again.
When the king came down from the gate tower, hundreds of Koreans knelt down to him and began to cry again. It was a mess. The king couldn't figure out what happened. He couldn't help but feel annoyed and shouted: "Don't cry anymore. Talk about something!" The crying stopped immediately, and the eldest Korean choked up and said: "Princess, we almost don't get to see you, princess!" Then the terrible thing that happened last night was revealed. Things are said. When the king heard that most of the Koreans in Jinjiyuan had been killed by poisonous hands, he was extremely shocked and furious, "Who, who did it?"
All the Koreans shouted angrily: "It was brother Ye Qianxiu! It was brother Ye Qianxiu who did it!..."
The king's expression became very cold and frightening, and he immediately asked: "How can you be sure?" The old man said: "Those murderers thought they had killed us all, but in fact we, the lucky ones, were hiding in the dark, and they were fighting each other. He accidentally said it during a discussion, saying that even if he killed all the Koreans in Jinchiyuan, he would not be able to vent his anger on Brother Ye Qianxiu! Doesn’t this mean that these murderers were sent by Brother Ye Qianxiu? "Other Koreans echoed one after another, vying to tell what they heard, and the content was similar to what the old man said.
Wang Jun murmured with a gloomy face: "Brother Qi Xiu! You forced me to do this!" He turned to Li Chonglong and said: "General Li, immediately gather all the palace guards and follow me to the Grand Marshal's Mansion to capture the murderer!" Li Chonglong clasped his fists. Accepted the promise and ran down.
Yeqi Hucheng and Handerang were gathering together to discuss the current affairs. Suddenly Yeqi Hucheng's trusted general Lang Ri ran in out of breath and said anxiously: "It's not good, the Queen Mother leads the palace." A fierce conflict broke out between the guards and the generalissimo's guards!" The two were shocked. Yeqi Hucheng asked angrily: "How could such a thing happen suddenly?" Langri said: "I heard that Brother Yeqixiu sent someone After raiding the Jinji Garden and killing hundreds of Koreans, the Empress Dowager was furious and immediately mobilized all the palace guards to go to the Generalissimo's Mansion to ask for people. When the two sides disagreed, a conflict broke out, and now the conflict is still continuing!"
Handerang said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, the conflict between the two sides should be stopped immediately!" Yeli Hucheng nodded, stood up, and said to Langri: "Gather the guards in the mansion and follow me to the scene!" Langri said worriedly "There are only a few hundred people in the mansion, I'm afraid..." Ye Qian Hucheng glared and said, "What are you talking about? Go quickly!" Lang Ri responded and ran down.
Soon after, Han Derang from Yeqi Hucheng led hundreds of guards from Prince Gao's Palace to the scene. They saw that the two sides were still fighting. The ones wearing heavy armor and yellow robes were the palace guards who were fighting hard. They were wearing black armor and black robes. The ones in red cloaks are the guards of the Grand Marshal's Mansion, who are resisting with all their strength. The fighting between the two sides was extremely fierce and indistinguishable, and countless corpses were already lying on the ground!
Yeqi Hucheng roared angrily: "Everyone stop it! Everyone stop it!" However, the soldiers and horses from both sides who had already killed each other paid no attention at all, and continued to roar and fight, with blood and flesh flying everywhere. Ye Qian Hucheng was furious and rushed into the gap between the two armies single-handedly with a mace. He swung the mace sharply and knocked over dozens of people on both sides in the blink of an eye. The soldiers on both sides were horrified, retreated one after another, and finally gave up.
Although the two sides gave up, they still glared at each other. What happened before is what happened before. The two sides had just killed a lot of people, and there was a direct blood feud! Yeqi Hucheng immediately stood between the two sides and said sternly: "We are all armies of the Liao Kingdom, why are we killing each other?!" The soldiers on both sides felt a little guilty in their hearts, but they were quickly overwhelmed by anger.
The king in military uniform came forward and bowed to Ye Qianhu City. "The Protector of the Country clearly knows that it is not the Ai family who wants to embarrass Brother Ye Qianxiu! It is really Brother Ye Qianxiu who has gone too far!" He turned to look at the crowd. Brother Ye Qianxiu, who was protected by the military, said sternly: "Brother Ye Qianxiu, you innocently massacred my Jinchiyuan subordinates. This is an irreconcilable hatred! We must get justice today!" Brother Ye Qianxiu sneered: " I have never done that thing, and I suspect that it was directed and acted by you! Also, yesterday during the day, you actually sent an assassin to assassinate me in broad daylight. It is really lawless and abominable!"
The king was extremely angry and said: "You are despicable and shameless with your bloody words! It is clearly you who covets the throne, so you want to harm the Ai family and the young emperor!" Then he said to Ye Qianhu City: King Nanyuan, please come to this matter. Call the shots! "
Ye Qian Hucheng frowned and said: "Everything should be done according to the king's law, and you should not attack and kill privately!" Wang Jun said angrily: "Isn't it that the King of Nanyuan wants to protect Brother Ye Qianxiu?"
Yeqi Hucheng was furious, "Who am I, Yeqi Hucheng, how can I protect anyone?" The king was shocked by the momentum of Yeqi Hucheng, and then he was very dissatisfied and raised his voice: "Nan King Yuan, in the name of the Queen Mother Regent, I order you to immediately assist me in capturing that traitorous Brother Yeganxiu!" Yegan Hucheng looked at the king with a strange expression. The king frowned and said, "Your Majesty, Nanyuan, I am now the Queen Mother Regent, and my words represent your majesty. Do you want to resist the edict?" Ye Qianhu said: "I will not resist the edict, but there will be some changes in the emperor's order. Accept, the matter has not been investigated clearly. Please forgive me for the inconvenience of carrying out the order of the Queen Mother!" "You..." Wang Jun was extremely angry, but he had no choice but to do anything, and then secretly said: "Now I have completely broken up with Brother Ye Qianxiu, but We can no longer offend Yeli Hucheng! 'As soon as I thought of this, my expression immediately changed and softened.
At this time, brother Ye Qianxiu said in a weird manner: "You, a Korean woman, are so majestic! Brother, can you tolerate this Korean woman's bossing around?"
The king looked apologetically and said to Ye Qi Hucheng: "Don't be offended, Your Majesty of the South Campus. The Ai family is really so rude because they feel sorry for the death of their compatriots and subordinates!" Ye Qi Hucheng was originally very angry, but when he saw the king Jun apologized in such a low voice, and all his anger disappeared immediately. He thought that the other party was the Queen Regent after all, and some of his words just now were indeed too much, so he bowed slightly and said: "Ye Qi Hucheng is a rough man, and some of his words may be offensive. Please don’t be offended by the large number of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager!" Wang Jun said quickly: "The words of the King of Nanyuan are serious. The Ai Family and Your Majesty still rely on the Great King for all military and national affairs!"
Ye Qian Hucheng nodded, looked at Brother Ye Qianxiu, frowned, and asked: "Did you do this? A man, if you dare to do what you dare, do whatever you want!"
Brother Yexiu frowned and said: "Brother, don't be deceived by that Korean woman. Although I hate her so much that I will grit my teeth, I will never do such a thing!" Yeqi Hucheng glared, "How presumptuous! The Empress Dowager! What is your identity? How can you be so disrespectful?" Brother Ye Qianxiu was filled with endless anger and roared: "You recognize her as the Empress Dowager, but I don't! Why should a despicable woman from Goryeo be our Daliao woman? The Queen Mother of the country? He is not worthy!"
The king was so angry that he was trembling all over and said to Ye Qi Hucheng: "King of the South Courtyard, you heard it all! Is there such an arrogant and arrogant minister? Shouldn't such a minister be punished?" Ye Qi Hucheng didn't know what to do. It's best to do it, and looked at Han Derang. Handerang came forward and said to both parties: "Generalissimo, Madam, what happened in the past two days is too strange. I think you both should calm down, and these matters should be left to the court to handle." Ye Qianxiu Neither brother nor Wang Jun spoke, and still looked at each other with hostility. Obviously Handerang's words had no effect.
Han Derang felt that it was better to separate the two parties first and then find a way to solve the problem, so he said: "The generalissimo and the empress are both important ministers of the country. It is really unseemly to be so tense. It is best to retreat!" Yeqi Hucheng immediately agreed. : "Yes, you all stand down! The Prime Minister and I will investigate clearly what happened in the past two days!" Wang Jun and Brother Ye Qianxiu could no longer persist at this point, so they had to give up for the time being. Brother Ye Ganxiu looked at Wang Jun and said coldly: "Today, for the sake of the Prime Minister and the King, I will let you go!" Wang Jun smiled coldly and said quarrelsomely: "Both and each other, this matter is not over!" Then he turned his horse's head and led the palace guards away.
Brother Ye Qian Xiu was angry and ignored Ye Qian Hucheng and Handerang, turned around and entered the gate.
Handerang worriedly said to Yeqi Hucheng: "Your Majesty, look at the intentions of both sides, it's just that we have to temporarily stop the conflict! This conflict may happen at any time!" Yeqi Hucheng said angrily: "I'll put my He mobilized his troops and horses to surround the palace and the Grand Marshal’s Mansion. Let’s see how they continue to clash!”
Handerang was startled and waved his hands quickly: "No, no! Since then, the situation has become more complicated, and now the armies of both sides are confronting each other outside the city, and the king's army is still needed to stabilize both sides outside the city!" Yeli Tiger City He frowned and said, "We can't mobilize the army, so what should we do?"
Handerang thought for a moment and said: "There is only one way to solve this problem. Your Majesty, please move the guards between the two sides to isolate them to avoid conflicts between the two sides!" Yeli Hucheng frowned and said: "I'm afraid these hundreds of people under my command are of limited use. !" Handerang hesitated for a moment and said: "In this case, we can only transfer all the guards guarding the princess! Now that the city gate is closed, the princess's people can't get in even if they want to save people, so there is no need to worry about this. In terms of that." Brother Ye Qianxiu nodded, "Okay, I'll do it right away!" Then he turned his horse around and led the guards towards the princess's mansion.
When he arrived outside the princess's mansion, he got off his horse and walked quickly into the door. When I came to the backyard, I wanted to find my little sister, but because the princess mansion was so big, I didn't know where to go. Seeing a maid coming towards me, she shouted: "Hey, come here!" The maid was originally transferred from the South Courtyard Prince's Mansion. As soon as she saw Yeqi Hucheng, she hurried over and bowed and saluted: "Greetings, your Majesty. !" Yeqi Hucheng asked: "Where is the little sister?" The maid pointed to a pavilion opposite the lake in the distance and said: "The princess is in that attic." Hearing this, Yeqi Hucheng hurried towards her. Go to that attic.
When he came to the attic, he raised his head and shouted: "Little sister, are you up there?" After a while, Ye Qi Guanyin's voice came from above: "Here." Hearing this, Ye Qi Hucheng immediately walked into the room. He opened the door and climbed up the wooden stairs to the attic. He saw the graceful figure of Ye Qi Guanyin standing in front of the window, with her back to this side. Ye Qi Hucheng walked to the side of Ye Qi Guanyin in three steps and two steps at a time, and couldn't help but sigh. Ye Qi Guanyin turned to look at Ye Qi Hucheng, "Brother, are you troubled?" Ye Qi Hucheng couldn't help but cursed: "It's not the Empress Dowager and Brother Ye Qi Xiu who caused the trouble! These two kings," he He wanted to say 'these two bastards', but he thought that the king was the regent and the queen mother after all, so he couldn't be disrespectful, so he stopped hastily, "These two people went too far. One sent people to assassinate him halfway, and the other sent people to bloodbath Jinchiyuan. , just now, the two sides were fighting with their commanders, causing a lot of casualties!"
Although Ye Qi Guanyin realized that something major had happened in the city, she didn't expect it to be so serious and couldn't help but be surprised. "Little sister, you are very resourceful, what do you think should be done?" Yeli Hucheng came here in a hurry, not only to mobilize troops, but also to ask for the opinion of this resourceful sister.
Yeqi Guanyin smiled calmly, "What's so difficult about this..." Yeqi Hucheng was overjoyed, "Young sister has a way? Tell the big brother!" Yeqi Guanyin glanced at Yeqi Hucheng, "Now the new emperor has succeeded Although the king is from Korea, she is still the regent queen appointed by the imperial edict and can act on behalf of the emperor. Everything she wants is done according to reason and law, so why bother?"
Ye Qi Hucheng was stunned for a moment, then frowned and thought, and after a while he said: "What the younger sister said is right! But, wouldn't Brother Ye Qi Xiu be dead if this happens? The assassination of the Empress Dowager may not have been his fault. "Why, I think we should investigate this matter clearly before talking about it!" Ye Qi Guanyin sighed, "Brother, there is no need to stick to the truth in many cases. We should do whatever is beneficial to the country!"
Ye Qi Hucheng was silent for a while, shook his head and said: "I can't do this!" He looked up at Ye Qi Guanyin, frowned and asked, "Little sister, do you want to take this opportunity to kill brother Ye Qi Xiu to vent your feelings? Hate?" Ye Qian Guanyin smiled mockingly, "Brother said that, what else can I say? I'm tired, brother, please go back!"
Ye Qi Hucheng still wanted to talk to Ye Qi Guanyin, but felt that he didn't know what to say, so he said, "Then brother is leaving!" He sighed, turned around and left.
After a while, Yeqi Guanyin saw in the attic that Yeqi Hucheng had transferred most of the guards guarding him away. He couldn't help but feel slightly surprised. Then he understood the intention of Yeqi Hucheng and couldn't help but sigh. He murmured: "Now that the fire has started, what's the use of putting out money to put out the fire? Well, for now, the only way is to help one side to extinguish the other side as quickly as possible, so as to minimize the harm to the country. !" Then she smiled bitterly and laughed at herself: "Why do I, a rebellious and rebellious traitor, care about this?" She shook her head and threw these thoughts behind her. She thought of her elder brother again, and her beautiful face showed happiness. smile.
After all, what happened next will be explained later.
