Gao Feng said: "Your Majesty, we will protect you and fight out!" Li Qingxia held Gao Feng's shoulders, shook her head and said, "No need, the other side is well prepared. We can't rush out, so why make unnecessary sacrifices!" "The princess is indeed wise!" A triumphant voice suddenly came from outside the back door. Li Qingxia followed the sound and saw a beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes coming in surrounded by people. That woman was the late Emperor Lan Fei Li Ruolan. Li Qingxia was surprised when she saw Concubine Lan, but she understood everything when she saw the two men beside Concubine Lan.
Li Qingxia looked at the two people and said sarcastically: "Prime Minister Zuo, Prime Minister Right, you have made great achievements in supporting me again!" It turned out that the two men following Concubine Lan were one of them, Prime Minister Zuo Li Tongren. The other one is Prime Minister You Daochong. When these two people appear here, the situation becomes clearer.
Li Tongren did not dare to make eye contact with Li Qingxia and lowered his head, but Aodaochong said righteously: "We are all for the survival of Great Xia! Your Majesty is so aggressive that this catastrophe has happened. For the sake of Great Xia, We will only offend the people of Xia and Daxia!"
Gao Feng glared and shouted: "Rebellion!" Odaochong ignored Gao Feng, looked at Li Qingxia and asked: "Your Majesty, are you going to abdicate yourself, or do you want us to do it?"
Gao Feng excitedly said to Li Qingxia: "Your Majesty, I will fight to the death to protect your Majesty from the siege!" Li Qingxia said blankly: "What can we do after we get out? Hey, now that things have happened, why bother killing each other anymore! I'm tired too. It's better not to be the emperor!" He looked at Ao Daochong and others and said, "As of now, I have nothing to say. I just hope that you will let go of the guards and maids around me!" Ao Daochong said. : "Don't worry, Your Majesty, we are making this decision solely for the sake of Daxia, and naturally we will not do more killings! It would be great if Your Majesty is willing to give up the throne!" Li Qingxia said to everyone around her: "Put down your weapons!" Everyone was extremely sad and angry, and threw away their weapons one after another.
Odaochong raised his voice and said: "Your Majesty, please return to the palace!" The rebels immediately stepped forward, separated Li Qingxia from her guards and maids, and escorted Li Qingxia to the palace alone.
The fighting quickly calmed down, and the rebels took complete control of the palace. Li Qingxia sat in the palace, staring at the beautiful night scene outside the window of the Moon Cave in a daze, completely losing her usual spirit, as if she had no soul. Only two palace maids stood nearby, the others were locked up elsewhere.
The door creaked, and the two palace maids looked toward the door in panic, but Li Qingxia didn't show any reaction. For her, there was nothing worthy of her concern or fear. The footsteps approached from far away and stopped, only to hear the voices of Ao Daochong and Li Tongren: "Your Highness the Princess!" Li Qingxia slowly turned her head and saw the two people bowing and saluting, and said sarcastically: "I am now You are a prisoner of the rank, why do you two need to be so polite!"
Li Tongren was so ashamed that he said: "I will never betray your majesty, but for the safety of Daxia and the well-being of the people, I have to do this!" Odaochong said proudly: "Yes, we will do it though. I am disrespectful to His Majesty, I am ashamed of Your Majesty, but I have a clear conscience!"
Li Qingxia smiled mockingly, glanced at the two of them, and said, "You think it's because of me that the peace talks couldn't proceed, because Yang Peng hated me, so he wanted to carry out the war to the end. But now Daxia has suffered heavy losses and the morale of the military is shaken. The building is about to collapse, and it is obvious that it is no longer able to resist Yan Yun. Do you think that Daxia and you yourself can only survive this crisis by asking for peace, and to ask for peace, you must first resolve the anger of King Yan, and to resolve The anger of King Yan should undoubtedly push me down and then sacrifice me to King Yan!"
Odaochong said: "Your Majesty is wise, it is true! Didn't your Majesty say that the king will die in the country? In today's situation, only your Majesty can save the whole of Great Xia by sacrificing yourself. Why should your Majesty be resentful!"
Li Qingxia turned to look out the window, with a sad look on her face, and murmured: "If sacrificing me alone can really save Daxia, I wouldn't regret it! But you are too naive, too naive! King Yan, the world's most powerful man, That is a character that has been rare for hundreds of years!" He turned around, looked at the two people, and said mockingly: "Do you think that such a character would raise an army because of one person, and then stop the army because of one person? "
The two prime ministers looked at each other, and they couldn't help but feel that what Li Qingxia said was reasonable. However, such thoughts only flashed in their hearts, and they did not want to believe that they were desperate. Ao Daochang suddenly snorted and said loudly: "We have no enmity with King Yan, so why does he have to destroy our Daxia! The reason why we are in this situation is not because you offended King Yan. ! As long as I offer you to King Yan, the peace agreement will be successful!"
Li Qingxia showed a wry smile, sighed, and suddenly asked: "Is the Generalissimo really dead?" Li Tongren sighed and said: "That is not our expectation, it's just that the Generalissimo refused to obey. We don't have it." The only way is..." Li Qingxia was filled with grief and anger. She stopped looking at the two of them and said coldly: "I'm tired, you guys get out!"
Ao Daochong snorted and turned around. Li Tongren bowed respectfully to Li Qingxia and retreated. The palace became quiet, and Li Qingxia suddenly felt extremely lonely. She couldn't help but feel sad, and tears filled her eyes. …
Li Tongren and Ao Daochong rushed to the front hall. At this time, Li Ruolan and his father Li Shicheng were sitting in the hall chatting. Next to them stood a middle-aged woman holding a two or three-year-old baby. The baby was already asleep and fat. The appearance is very cute.
When the father and daughter saw the two prime ministers coming, they immediately stopped talking and stood up. Li Ruolan asked, "Have you spoken to her? Is she willing to go?" Li Tongren sighed and said, "Your Majesty is extremely wise. , has already guessed our intention." Ao Daochong snorted and said: "It's not up to her whether she goes or not! She can go if she wants to, and she has to go if she doesn't want to!" Li Ruolan nodded with deep understanding and gloated: "She is just a prisoner under the rank now. It is her turn to decide whether she is willing or not!" Then he said impatiently: "Since the rebellion has been eliminated, we should help the new emperor ascend the throne as soon as possible!" Li Tongren glanced at the middle-aged woman The baby in his hand frowned, and he felt that Daxia was facing the biggest crisis in a century. Only a talented and sage leader could lead everyone to overcome this crisis, but the one who was about to become emperor was such an infant. The baby; the mediator rushed: "I will announce this in the morning tomorrow!" He paused, frowned and said: "The most urgent task now is to send someone to send Li Qingxia to King Yan to ask for peace! This is the only thing we can do Once we get down, we can sit back and relax!"
Li Qingxia glanced at her father Li Shicheng and said, "My father and I were discussing this matter just now. My father has some relations with Yanyun. It is more appropriate for my father to be this envoy!"
Ao Daochong glanced at Li Shicheng, nodded and said: "If the abbot is willing to take on this important task, then there is nothing better than the abbot Lao!" Li Shicheng quickly responded: "Prime Minister, you are welcome, we are all doing this for the country. !" There was a sense of righteousness in his words. …
Ao Daochong, Li Tongren, and Li Shicheng went down to prepare for the morning meeting and the mission the next day. Li Ruolan came to Li Qingxia's palace. She wanted to see Li Qingxia, the woman who had been defeated by her. What will she look like when she comes to you? She must be very angry, or she may cry and beg her to let her go! Li Ruolan couldn't help but laugh when she thought of her success.
His eyes fell on Li Qingxia, and he saw Li Qingxia sitting in front of the moon cave window, with her back to this side, looking out the window in a daze. Li Ruolan smiled slightly and walked straight up until she stopped not far behind Li Qingxia. She smiled and said: "Princess is so elegant, she is still in the mood to watch the night!" Li Qingxia turned around, glanced at Li Ruolan, and said calmly : "I really underestimated you. I didn't expect you to be able to plan such a mutiny!" Li Ruolan walked up to Li Qingxia, glanced at him, and said with a smile: "This is called helping those who have gained the right, and those who have lost the right. I have little help. God and the people are on my side, and this victory is just a natural result!"
Li Qingxia looked at Li Ruolan carefully, and Li Ruolan asked proudly: "What, don't you know each other?" Li Qingxia turned her head and looked out the window, and said calmly: "You are indeed very good at conspiracy, but this is what happens between countries. It's useless!" Li Ruolan's face turned cold and she said angrily: "You are already a prisoner, so don't worry about it! I know how to deal with strong people better than you!" She glanced at Li Qingxia with contempt. He glanced at it and said: "You are just trying to be strong, and in the end you can only harm others and yourself! I am different from you. I understand the difference between strength and weakness, and how to survive as a weakling!..."
Li Qingxia mocked: "Your way of survival is nothing more than wagging your tail and begging for mercy!" Li Ruolan's expression changed and she said angrily: "You are really stubborn! You have reached this stage and you still have a hard mouth!"
Li Qingxia was about to retort, but then she thought of the current situation and couldn't help but swallow the words on her lips, and said seriously: "Ms. Lan Fei, since you have won the power, I don't want to say anything else! I just want to I want to remind you that you must not have any illusions about King Yan! He is a tycoon that has never appeared in hundreds of years. Such a figure will never give up his dominance of the world for a small profit! Not only will he destroy Xia is his goal, destroying Liao, Tubo, Dali, and Song are all his goals. He wants to unify the world and build an empire comparable to the Han and Tang Dynasties!!"
Li Ruolan was startled, and then she snorted coldly and said mockingly: "You are just trying to escape with your life by making such monstrous words! I advise you to give up on this idea as soon as possible!" Li Qingxia sighed, looked out the window, no No more talking. Seeing this scene, Li Ruolan felt very bored and said angrily: "Let's see, let's see, I'm afraid I won't be able to see it tomorrow!"
Li Ruolan walked away with a puff of sleeves. Li Qingxia couldn't help but picture Yang Peng's face in her mind, and a strange feeling came to her heart. She felt that the compatriots around her were so disgusting, but Yang Peng's life-and-death enemy gave her a kind feeling. Just like the boy next door. Li Qingxia came to her senses and frowned tightly.
That night, Yang Peng led the army to a small town more than 20 miles north of Xingqing Mansion. Since it was getting late, the army set up camp here. Soon after, smoke rose slowly inside and outside the town, and noisy sounds echoed in the night sky; however, in this small town, except for Yanyun soldiers, no local people were seen. It turned out that they had already arrived When he got the news that Yan Yun's army was coming, he fled in panic. This town had long been turned into an empty town, and now it became the temporary residence of Yan Yun's army.
In the big tent, Yang Peng was discussing the strategy of attacking Xingqing Mansion with several important generals. Yang Jing shouted loudly: "Brother, I don't think there is anything to discuss. When we attack the city tomorrow, I, Yang Jing, will lead the army to attack the city. It won't take long to capture it! At that time, the Emperor of Xixia and the Prime Minister of Xixia will all be together. The land is all up to big brother!" Everyone laughed, Yang Peng pointed at Yang Jing and said with a smile: Yang Jing is right, there is really nothing to discuss, the situation at hand is already very clear, we just need to attack the city with all our strength! "All the generals nodded in agreement. Yang Jing chuckled and said: "You still say that I, Yang Jing, am not very smart. Look, didn't my eldest brother adopt my Yang Jing's strategy? Everyone laughed, and Huyan Chijin joked: "That's right, Yang Jing is definitely the smartest among the cows!" "
Yang Jing didn't hear that the other party was making fun of him, and thought he was really praising him, so he burst into laughter, and the others also laughed. Yelu Hanyu said to Yang Peng: "Brother, while we are attacking the city, we can also launch arrows to disturb the morale of the army!" He frowned and said: "To be honest, I don't think this battle will be easy, Xixia soldiers and civilians Under the leadership of Li Qingxia, I am afraid we will fight to the end! There will definitely be no problem in capturing Xingqing Mansion, but we don’t know how many soldiers we will lose!"
The atmosphere suddenly became solemn, Yang Peng said: "To win victory, sacrifice is inevitable, so don't worry too much! Without sacrifice, there is no victory, without victory, there is no glory, so sacrifice is necessary. A country that is afraid of sacrifice It will never be possible to rise! We don't care about sacrifice, but we must always remember those soldiers who sacrificed for the country!" Everyone couldn't help but nodded, and Yang Jing suddenly shouted: "His grandma, what are you doing if you are afraid of death? , the scar on his head is no bigger than a bowl, and twenty years later he is a good man again!" Everyone laughed.
A secret guard rushed into the tent and said: "Master, the Xixia envoy is here, please see me outside the camp gate now!" No one was surprised by this at all, Yang Jing said with a smile: "These guys are probably I was so frightened that I came to ask for peace!”
Yang Peng said to the secret guard: "Bring him in." Yin Sha responded and ran down. Yang Peng returned to his head and sat down, while the generals stood on their left and right. A moment later, the secret guard led a man with a wretched appearance in. It was Li Fulu, a close aide of Li Ruolan and his daughter who had been here before. Yang Peng and Yelu Hanyu were slightly surprised and looked at each other.
I saw Li Fulu knelt down and bowed and said: "Little man Li Fulu pays homage to His Royal Highness King Yan!" Logically speaking, a country's envoys should not salute others in this way. Power is at the mercy of any theory. Only strength is the decisive force. Therefore, as an envoy of a country, it is not surprising that Li Fulu paid homage to Yang Peng in this way.
Yang Peng glanced at Li Fulu and asked: "Aren't you a close confidant of Li Ruolan and his daughter? How come you have become the envoy of Xixia again?" Li Fulu said quickly: "The King of Yan may not know something. We Daxia have set things right not long ago. , the false emperor Li Qingxia has stepped down, and the current emperor is supported by the head of state and Concubine Lan!"
Everyone present was very surprised and couldn't help but whisper. Yang Peng smiled and said: "This is a bit unexpected." Li Fulu said: "The emperor and Concubine Lan hope to have a truce with Yan Yun and rebuild old friendships, and beg King Yan to show mercy!"
Yang Peng said calmly: "You are not qualified to talk to me about this." Li Fulu said quickly: "How dare you negotiate with the King of Yan? The emperor is on his way, and he will negotiate with the King of Yan by then. The villain I just hope that King Yan can postpone the march so that the two sides can have peace talks."
Yang Peng smiled and said: "Since the emperor has come in person, I will suspend the march." Li Fulu was very happy and said: "Thank you, King Yan!" Then he stood up, bowed and said, "If King Yan has no other instructions, If so, the villain will go back and recover!" Yang Peng nodded. Li Fulu bowed again and left in a hurry.
Yang Jing, who had long been unable to bear it, said loudly: "Brother, why do you want to negotiate peace with Xixia? Wouldn't it be better to take over Xingqing Mansion in one go?" All the generals also had this idea. Yang Peng smiled and said: "There's no rush, there's no harm in talking!" Yang Jing wanted to say more, but Shi Ping next to him grabbed Yang Jing and whispered: "The King of Yan has his own plans, Yang Jing, you just Stop talking!" Yang Jing curled his lips, but said nothing more.
After the meeting, Yelu Hanyu and the other three princesses stayed, while everyone else went back to their respective camps. Yang Erya asked curiously: "Brother, do you really want to have peace talks with Xixia?"
Yang Peng smiled and said: "We can find out some details about the other party by talking, isn't it good?" Yang Erya didn't understand that peace talks are peace talks. What does it mean to see the details about the other party? Then he suddenly realized what he was saying and looked at Yang Peng with a strange look, as if he was hesitant to speak. Yelu Hanyu saw Yang Erya's expression in his eyes and teased: "Sister Erya, do you think that the elder brother is too treacherous?" Yang Erya blushed and glanced at Yang Peng sheepishly. Yang Peng glared at Yang Erya and said angrily: "Brother, be careful of your family rules!" As soon as these words came out, the three girls couldn't help but blush, Yelu Hanyu and Yang Jiumei looked angry, Yang Erya He looks very shy and affectionate.
Seeing that the three women had different styles but were equally attractive, Yang Peng couldn't help but feel his heart flutter. He immediately became vigilant and did not dare to talk nonsense again. He quickly changed the topic. He was afraid that if the flames were stirred up, he would not be able to do anything. It’s easy to clean up. …
One day later, Xixia's peace delegation arrived, and the leader was indeed Li Ruolan's father, Li Shicheng. As soon as Li Shicheng saw Yang Peng, he hurriedly bowed to him. He looked very humble, almost like a slave under Yang Peng. When the powerful generals under Yang Peng saw him like this, they couldn't help but show contempt. Thinking of the Li Tuo who came first, I wondered why he was so different even though he was also the envoy of Xixia.
Yang Peng said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to be polite. You'd better get up and talk." Li Shicheng thanked him quickly and stood up, but he still stood with his head bowed. Just listen to him say: "Xiao Renjin, on behalf of the new emperor of our country, pays tribute to King Yan!" Yang Peng smiled and said: "Master Li is not an outsider to us, so there is no need to be so polite. If you have anything to say, just say it."
Li Shicheng couldn't help being flattered when he heard Yang Peng say that he was not an outsider, and said quickly: "I'm here, I hope that we will form an alliance forever! Of course, our country will naturally offer gifts to show our respect for Yan Yun. Feelings!" He raised his eyes slightly and saw Chen Xiao's expression of interest. He was overjoyed and continued: "Our country is willing to cede the east, south and north of Helan Mountain, except for Xingqing Mansion, Huaizhou and Jingzhou. All the land except Zhou and Shunzhou, and there is also another great gift. I believe King Yan will be very happy after seeing it!"
Yang Peng smiled and said: "You have aroused my curiosity. What gift has such great charm?" Yang Jing shouted: "His grandma's, don't show off, I think it's just some It’s just gold and silver treasures, what’s so strange about that!”
Li Shicheng didn't expect that someone would dare to shout in front of King Yan. He was very surprised. He couldn't help but look around and saw that the person speaking was a dark-skinned man with a steel beard on his face. He was very majestic and ferocious. He couldn't help being shocked. , and quickly looked away. After calming down, he said to Yang Peng: "King Yan, please allow me to dedicate this gift to King Yan here!"
Yang Peng nodded. Li Shicheng said: "The gift is in the purple-curtained carriage. Please send someone to get it from King Yan." Yang Peng winked at Wang Kai, who immediately ran out of the tent. The generals began to discuss in low voices, and they were all very curious about this gift that Xixia was selling off.
After a while, footsteps came from the door, and the buzz of whispers in the big tent immediately disappeared, and everyone looked at the door in unison. I saw Wang Kai coming in first, and then I saw several graceful figures appearing behind him. When they came in, they turned out to be three beautiful women. The one who was being supported was especially beautiful, although it was not as beautiful as Princess Yelu. , but she is definitely a unique beauty. Everyone understood immediately and couldn't help but secretly said: "After a long time of trouble, we have sent a beautiful woman to King Yan!" 'Some people even think: 'I'm afraid this is not a good intention, this is a honey trap! 'However, Yang Peng and Yelu Hanyu showed surprise, because they recognized the identity of the beautiful woman. It was Li Qingxia who had been on a mission to Tianjing New City and later mutinied and became the Queen of Xixia.
Yang Peng and Yelu Hanyu never thought that the other party would actually send their late emperor as a gift, and they were really shocked. Li Qingxia's face was red, and she was ashamed and angry. If it hadn't been for the anesthetic that made her unable to move, she would have It would be better to die in this big tent than to be humiliated like this! Yang Peng glanced at Li Shicheng and smiled: "This gift is beyond my expectation!"
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
