Li Shicheng paid his respects and said, "Because this person offended the King of Yan for his misdeeds, the new emperor of our country decided to sacrifice this person to apologize to the King of Yan, and at the same time express our country's sincerity in seeking peace!"
Yang Peng smiled and said: "In life, there are always some things that should be adhered to. The reason why humans are different from animals is this!" Li Shicheng was stunned. He didn't understand why Yang Peng suddenly said such words. Come, feeling vaguely uneasy in my heart.
Yang Peng glanced at Li Shicheng and said: "It's okay for you to launch a mutiny in order to survive and for your own glory and wealth! But you can actually give your previous loyalties to the enemy as a gift. How shameless can people be? , It really opened my eyes!" After hearing such words, Li Shicheng couldn't help but feel uneasy, "This, this..." After a long time, there was no clue.
Li Qingxia couldn't move or speak. After hearing Yang Peng's words, she couldn't help but shed tears. She felt that her grievances had finally been relieved. Already said loudly: "Brother is right! Damn it, you Xixia people are so fucking shameless, you can actually do such a stupid thing like giving birth to a son without a butt!" After saying this, he was not relieved, strode forward, raised his hand A fist as big as a bowl hit Li Shicheng's head, and a bang was heard. Li Shicheng was just a pampered civil servant, how could he withstand such an old punch from Li Kui? Suddenly, he felt like there were stars in his eyes, and it was like a dyeing workshop. Generally colorful, the body cannot stand and falls to the ground with a plop!
Fortunately, he no longer had the permission of his eldest brother, so although this punch was made out of anger, it only used a small amount of strength. Otherwise, even if Li Shicheng could not be killed, most of his life would have to be taken away.
He was already upset and wanted to step forward to beat someone. When Li Shicheng saw this, he was so frightened that he hurriedly rolled and crawled away to the other side, while Li Shicheng was chasing after him fiercely. Suddenly, the big tent was filled with chaos. He grabbed one of Li Shicheng's hind legs and pulled hard. Li Shicheng felt his whole body fly up. He screamed and flew back to his face, and fell to the ground, smashed to pieces.
He had already turned him over, pulled him up, raised his old fist, and wanted to hit him again. Li Shicheng was so frightened that he was shaking all over and his face turned pale.
"Enough!" At the critical moment, Yang Peng suddenly shouted. When Yang Jing heard his elder brother stopping him, he stopped punching him, let go of Li Shicheng, snorted at him, and then returned to his position. Li Shicheng felt as if all the strength in his body had been drained out of him. His legs softened and he knelt on the ground. Li Qingxia looked at the embarrassed Li Shicheng and felt very relieved, but also very angry. She was extremely embarrassed by his very spineless and useless look. If she could still move, she would definitely slap him twice.
Yang Peng said to Li Shicheng: "Li Qingxia will stay with me. Go back and tell your new emperor that the heaven and earth will not tolerate rebellion. We, the Yanyun Army, will do justice for heaven and are determined to wipe out these monsters and clowns!" Li Shicheng! When he came back to his senses, his face instantly turned pale. Just listen to Chen Xiao continue: "One day later, Yan Yun's army will come to the city to question the crime. If you don't open the city and surrender, you will die! You can take care of yourself!"
Li Shicheng crawled over and said anxiously: "King Yan, how, how, how can this be done? We, we are willing to cede so much land, and we are willing to surrender to Yan Yun, why can't King Yan let us go?"
Li Qingxia smiled bitterly and shook her head. Yang Peng said in a mocking tone: "Didn't I just say it? You will not be punished for the crime of rebellion. I, Yan Yun, will do justice for heaven!" Yang Jing laughed and said loudly: "Brother, what you said is very good. !" Li Shicheng was flustered and completely lost his bearings.
Yang Peng waved his hand, "Keep all the women in the mission, and get rid of all the men!" Yang Peng said this because he wanted to keep all the women to take care of Li Qingxia, but it sounded different to others. . Yang Jing laughed and walked forward, grabbed Li Shicheng by the collar and dragged him outside. Li Shicheng was so frightened that he couldn't help shouting loudly: "Spare your life, spare your life!" The generals laughed and supported him. Li Qingxia's two maids looked very uneasy, but Li Qingxia's face looked extremely embarrassed.
There was a noise outside the big tent, as if Yang Jing was shouting and beating someone. Everyone in the big tent looked at each other, feeling amused. After a moment, Yang Jing ran back with a smile and shouted to Yang Peng: "Brother, I have followed your instructions to keep the women and drive away the men! Such a grandson is really not a man. !Yang Peng said angrily: "You guys are really rude! Yang Jing blinked and said angrily: "Do you still have to be polite when dealing with those dirty things?" I can't do it! "
Yang Peng knew that he couldn't explain clearly to Yang Jing, so he stopped talking nonsense with him. He waved his hand and said angrily: "Okay, okay, go back to your place and stand still." Yang Jing chuckled and returned to his place. superior.
Yang Peng stood up and walked to Li Qingxia. Li Qingxia stared at Yang Peng, her face flushed, her chest heaving violently with excitement, and her expression was angry, nervous, and at a loss. The two maids supporting her bowed their heads, not daring to look directly at Yang Peng.
Yang Peng sighed suddenly, with a look of pity in his eyes, and couldn't help but said: "You worked hard for Xixia, but in the end you got the betrayal of your subjects."
Li Qingxia was stunned for a moment, then she felt sad, and tears could not stop pouring out of her eyes. I want to stop crying and prevent the other person from seeing my weak side, but when a person is sad, how can he control his tears?
Yang Peng sighed, turned to Yang Erya and said: "Yang Erya, I leave them to you, you can make good arrangements for them." Yang Erya clasped his fists in agreement, stepped forward, glanced at Li Qingxia, and couldn't help but feel a surge in his heart Feeling pity, he said to the two maids who were supporting Li Qingxia: "Come with me." Then he walked outside, and the two maids quickly supported Li Qingxia and followed him. Before leaving the house, Li Qingxia looked back at Yang Peng with extremely complicated eyes.
Yang Peng looked outside the tent and couldn't help but said: "This is an amazing woman, but it's a pity that she was born in the wrong place!"
Yang Jing couldn't help but ask: "Brother, do you want to marry her as your princess?" Yelu Hanyu glared at Yang Jing angrily. Yang Peng laughed loudly, turned around and looked at Yelu Hanyu and Yang Jiumei affectionately, and said softly: "I have so many beauties accompanying me, and I am content in this life!" Yelu Hanyu and Yang Jiumei felt infinite tenderness in their hearts, and their eyes The stool involuntarily reveals the gentleness of water. When all the generals saw this scene, they were very envious, including Li Kui.
Yelu Hanyu said: "Actually, it would be great if eldest brother could marry Li Qingxia!..."
Yang Peng's eyes lit up and he asked: "You agreed?" Seeing Yang Peng so elated, Yelu Hanyu and Yang Jiumei immediately overturned their jealousy and stared at Yang Peng angrily. Yelu Hanyu said angrily: "You also said I don’t want to, but the fox’s tail showed up after just one sentence!” Yang Peng chuckled, his expression turned gentle, he looked at the two women with a smile and said, “Why are you nervous? I’m teasing you!” The two women were embarrassed, Yelu Hanyu said to Yang Jiumei said: "Jiumei, let's go see the female emperor of Xixia." Yang Jiumei nodded quickly, and then the two women left the tent as if they were running away.
Yang Peng looked outside the big tent and felt a ray of tenderness lingering in his chest. Yang Jing asked Shi Ping on the side: "Hey, why did sister-in-law Yelu say, 'It would be good to marry Li Qingxia'?" Shi Ping thought: "Li Qingxia is a member of the Xixia royal family and has also been an emperor. She has great prestige. If she can become the eldest brother's Concubine, the entire Dangxiang clan immediately returned home! That's why sister-in-law Yelu said this!" Yang Jing suddenly realized, turned to Yang Peng and said loudly: "Brother, since there are so many benefits, you should take Li Qingxia!"
Yang Peng rolled his eyes and said angrily: "If your sisters-in-law hear this, be careful they fix you!" Yang Jing couldn't help showing fear, closed his mouth, and didn't dare to speak nonsense. The generals couldn't help laughing when they saw him like this. …
Yang Erya led Li Qingxia and dozens of Xixia beauties who came with the mission to the camp where her tent was located, and ordered his soldiers to give up five tents for them to live in. Yang Erya led Li Qingxia and the two maids supporting her into a tent and said, "You guys can stay here for the time being. If you need anything, just tell me!" He looked at Li Qingxia and asked, " Were you drugged?" Li Qingxia looked angry and nodded.
Yang Erya frowned and said, "You guys should rest. Someone will bring you food during meal time." Then he said to the two women who were supporting Li Qingxia, "You are so good at serving your master. Don't think that this is Yan Yun." You can just ignore it!" The two maids quickly bowed and agreed.
At this time, there were footsteps at the door. Everyone looked towards the door and saw Yelu Hanyu and Yang Jiumei coming in. Yang Erya hurriedly greeted her and saluted, "Sister Yelu, sister Ying." The two women smiled at her. When she came to Li Qingxia and looked at her, Li Qingxia also looked at the two women with a vigilant look in her eyes.
Yelu Hanyu smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about anything. Maybe in your previous ideas, King Yan and Yan Yunjun were very scary. In fact, you will know in the future that they are not scary, especially in front of your own people." After a pause, "You must be feeling very confused. It won't be long before the army moves south, and it will become very quiet here. You can just be quiet!" Seeing worry in Li Qingxia's eyes, she asked with a smile. He said, "Why, are you still worried about the safety of the subjects who abandoned you?" Li Qingxia did not answer and sighed quietly.
Yelu Hanyu said: "We won't disturb you anymore. If you need anything, just tell Sister Erya and she will help you. Now that we are no longer enemies, you don't have to be restrained."
By dinner time, the anesthetic on Li Qingxia had worn off and she could move freely, but she was too lazy to move and still sat there blankly. The two maids were not Li Qingxia's close confidants and did not know what Li Qingxia was thinking, so they did not dare to disturb her.
The tent curtain was suddenly opened, and the light of the setting sun suddenly shone in, making the originally dark tent suddenly bright. The two maids couldn't help but look towards the door, but Li Qingxia was not moved at all, still sitting there in a daze.
Yang Erya led the two female guards to the big tent. Each of the two female guards held a food basket in their hands. The two maids rushed over and Yingying said, "I have met the princess." Yang Erya glanced at Li Qingxia who was sitting not far away in a daze, and did not bother her, and ordered the female guard to hand the food basket to the maids. In his hand, he said to the maid: "This is tonight's dinner, let you princess eat it while it's hot." The two maids bowed and agreed. Yang Erya glanced at Li Qingxia again, turned around, and the two female guards followed.
The two maids respectfully sent Yang Erya off, then returned to Li Qingxia, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the princess has brought food, eat it while it's hot." Seeing that Li Qingxia was still sitting there in a daze without any reaction, she couldn't help but repeated it again. Li Qingxia came to her senses in shock, frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"
The maid who spoke just now said: "Princess Yang Erya has brought dinner to please Your Majesty."
Li Qingxia glanced at the food basket held by the two maids, frowned slightly and said, "Did Princess Yang Erya send it personally?" The two maids said together: "Yes." Li Qingxia couldn't help but have mixed feelings, she She didn't expect that she would receive such courtesy as a prisoner. Before she came, she thought about the possible situations she would encounter more than once. She thought about all kinds of insults and even death, but she didn't expect to receive such a courtesy. As a courtesy, Princess Yan personally came to take care of her, which was something she had never dared to think of before.
The maid on the left said: "I will serve your majesty for dinner!" Seeing that Li Qingxia had no objection, she stood up, followed by the other maid. The two women walked to the small table aside, put the food basket on the table, and opened it Come, take out the cups, plates, dishes and all kinds of exquisite side dishes, including vegetables, fried meat, bamboo shoots, tofu, mushrooms, and a stack of steamed buns, all of which are still exuding hot white air and an alluring aroma. As the white air dispersed, people's index fingers twitched.
The two maids laid out the food and bowls and chopsticks. Although they were extremely hungry, they could only hold back and bowed to Li Qingxia Yingying and said: "Your Majesty, please have a meal!"
Li Qingxia only had a bowl of porridge in the morning today, and she was already very hungry. When she saw this table of attractive food, she couldn't help but salivate and move her index fingers. He stood up, walked over, sat down, and started eating under the service of two maids. However, he didn't eat much, and he felt so sad that he couldn't eat anymore. He sighed quietly, put down his chopsticks, and seeing the two maids swallowing their saliva, he smiled and said: "You guys eat, I'm full." The two maids hesitated, looked at each other, and bowed to Li Qingxia. Said: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Qingxia sighed and said with infinite melancholy: "I am no longer Your Majesty, don't call me that in the future." The two maids bowed and agreed.
Li Qingxia saw that she was sitting here and the two maids did not dare to sit down to eat anyway, so she got up and left the tent. Only then did the two maids dare to sit down and start devouring their food. Like Li Qingxia, they were so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs. However, unlike Li Qingxia, they didn't have many worries, so they had an extraordinarily good appetite. In fact, it doesn't matter where slaves like them go. They are all servants anyway. When they were first brought to the Yanyun Army Camp, they were a little scared and hesitant. However, after seeing that the Yanyun Army officers were well-disciplined and no one harassed them. After that, the panic faded a lot.
Li Qingxia walked out of the tent and looked at the Yanyun camp in front of her. Under the setting sun, she saw that the camps were dotted with tents and smoke was rising everywhere. Groups of Yanyun soldiers gathered around the campfire and were eating, each one devouring their food. The air was filled with the aroma of food. .
Suddenly, many people carrying large wine jars and cooked meat came to the middle of the army. Someone shouted: "The war will start tomorrow, and King Yan will give you meat and wine! Brothers are here to receive the wine and meat!..." The man was walking all the way. Keep shouting. The soldiers who were originally scattered around the camp gathered around and consciously lined up to receive wine and meat. Someone shouted loudly: "Long live King Yan!" Other soldiers followed and shouted, and for a while, the voice of "Long live King Yan" echoed between heaven and earth.
The officers and soldiers who had received the food and wine returned to their original places one after another, sat down, ate large pieces of meat, drank from large bowls, and laughed one after another. Suddenly, someone, probably after a few bowls of wine, couldn't help but get excited, and sang loudly at the top of his voice: "Brother, my dear brother! Write a song and talk about you and me! I remember when we were young, we were inseparable! At that time, we were inseparable. We live a carefree life!”
At this time, the surrounding soldiers also started singing, and the singing spread quickly. In a blink of an eye, it seemed that the entire military camp was singing wildly: "..., I salute you for this glass of wine! Brother, my goodness Brother, there are tears in your eyes! Cherish what we have, cherish our past! I toast you this glass of wine, I toast you this glass of wine, good brother!" The soldiers laughed and picked up the wine bowls. Drink it all in one gulp.
Looking at this scene, Li Qingxia couldn't help but feel an unprecedented feeling in her heart. She felt that the Yanyun Army was completely different from the Khitan Army, the Xixia Army, and the Song Army. This was far beyond her previous expectations. .
Li Qingxia saw a Feifeng female guard standing not far away, so she walked forward and asked: "What song did they sing just now?" The female guard said: "Everyone sang a song written by King Yan. Everyone likes the song "Brothers" very much!" Li Qingxia lowered her head and said softly: "Brothers, life and death are like brothers, no wonder Yan Yunjun is invincible!"
At this time, someone in the distance started singing again, but the song was not "Brothers", but instead: "The pride is in the sky, anyone who can compete with me, with the Qingfeng in hand, who can slay the dragon with one sword!..." Li Qingxia couldn't help but feel shocked. Although the sergeant sang a little out of tune, the heroic and bloody momentum came to her face. All the soldiers in the battalion started singing along, including the female guard beside her who couldn't help but sing along, "When you compete in the Central Plains, you will show your true colors as a hero! When the wind blows in the world, you should swallow up the mountains and rivers with your anger! With a sword for eighty thousand miles, , fight between heaven and earth! Chivalrous and arrogant, let me do whatever I want in the world! Unparalleled in martial arts and bravery, loyalty is written in my heart! My heroic spirit dominates the world!"
Li Qingxia's blood surged when she heard this, and an indescribable impulse surged into her heart, and she wanted to ride her horse and go for a ride. When I came back to my senses, I couldn't help but feel that under the leadership of King Yan, these Han soldiers had completely shed their weak temperament formed over thousands of years. They were like tigers and wolves, passionate, bloody, and sharp. Such people, Such an army is probably invincible! While I was thinking to myself, I suddenly heard the soldiers of Yanyun shouting in unison: "Long live King Yan, long live Yanyun, long live China!..." The shouts came one after another, one wave higher than the other. Li Qingxia could hear the extremely sincere feelings contained in the shouts, and the pride of being willing to go through fire and water.
Li Qingxia couldn't help but be infected. In a daze, the troops in front of her seemed to have turned into a majestic and stretching peak. They were invincible! …
Li Shicheng fled back to Xingqing Mansion overnight. Li Ruolan and the two prime ministers, who were eagerly waiting for his good news, were stunned when they saw his bloody and embarrassed look. I heard Li Shicheng say in great horror: "Yan Yun, Yan Yun refuses peace talks, the army will attack the city in the blink of an eye!"
Although the three of them had expected it, they were still surprised when they heard this. Li Ruolan asked in fear and annoyance: "Why is he unwilling to negotiate with us? Is it because he thinks the conditions we gave are not enough?"
Li Shicheng glanced at the three of them, sighed, and said: "He said that if we make trouble, heaven and earth will not tolerate it, and he will do justice for heaven, so..." The three of them looked at each other, and Li Tongren said with a bitter smile: "Now, we are self-defeating. I thought that after seeing His Majesty, King Yan would calm down and make peace with us, but I didn’t expect that he would be even more angry because of this! If we had known this, why should we act like villains!"
Ao Daochong snorted coldly and said: "This is just an excuse for him to raise troops!" Li Tongren sighed: "Even so, it is an excuse we gave him!" There was a hint of blaming Ao Daochong in his tone. Li Ruolan said anxiously: "What's the use of talking about it now? The most urgent thing is to think of countermeasures!"
Li Tongren frowned and said: "Yanyun has more than 200,000 soldiers, all of whom are elites from hundreds of battles..." Li Shicheng interrupted: "More than 200,000! Before I left the Yanyun military camp, I saw that the 60,000 soldiers and horses of the Yanyun Seventh Army had already When we arrived, the Yan Yun army in the north now numbered almost 300,000 people!!" Everyone was shocked and speechless for a moment.
Li Ruolan said with a pale face: "I think, I think we should escape quickly!" Li Tongren frowned and said: "This is our capital of Daxia, how can we give up!" Li Ruolan said angrily: "No matter how good this place is, it is already in danger. The situation is dangerous. If you don't leave, you will only end up with your body broken to pieces! In other words, Prime Minister Zuo, do you have a way to retreat from the enemy?"
Li Tongren sighed, "I am ignorant and ignorant, there is nothing I can do! If Your Majesty is still here, there may be a way to defeat the enemy!" His words were full of frustration. Li Ruolan was furious and asked: "Prime Minister Zuo, then Li Qingxia is no longer the emperor. Now our emperor of Daxia is His Majesty Li Xian. You keep claiming that Li Qingxia is rebellious and is His Majesty. What are your intentions? Do you want to betray?" Your Majesty now?" Li Tongren couldn't help but feel angry, pointing at Li Ruolan and scolding: "It's all because of you, a witch, that we, Daxia, have gotten to where we are now!"
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
