Almost at the same time, sharp arrows continued to fly out of the surrounding darkness, and the whistling sound of arrows could be heard one after another. The men in black who were caught off guard fell to the ground after being hit by arrows, and screams were heard for a while.
Before the man in black could recover from the opponent's arrow attack, he saw many people who looked like caravan guards rushing out of the darkness with steel knives, charging like cheetahs. When the men in black saw the enemy appear, their fear immediately turned into anger. They raised their swords and shouted, and rushed towards them, preparing to kill them brutally, just like they had done to the other caravan guards just now. However, as soon as the battle started, the man in black found that the situation was far from what he imagined. These caravan guards were unexpectedly fierce, and each of them had superb sword skills and extremely ruthless methods. After a fight, these caravan guards suffered no losses. One, but most of the men in black were killed!
The remaining men in black were terrified and retreated to the carriage. More than two hundred caravan guards came up and surrounded them. Seeing the fierce expressions of these caravan guards, the man in black couldn't help but feel fear in his heart. At this time, the middle-aged man had already taken off his palm and simply bandaged the wound. He stood on the carriage and rushed to surround him. The caravan guards shouted restrainedly: "Who are you?"
The caravan guards just stared at them coldly and no one answered. The middle-aged man swallowed involuntarily and wanted to say a few tough words, but he couldn't speak as soon as the words reached his throat.
At this time, I saw a very brave and tall man standing out from the crowd carrying a big black bow. He immediately stood not far in front and said in a teasing tone: "I should ask you this. Who are you?" Humans? Are they bandits or soldiers?"
The middle-aged man glanced at the man. The man's aura made him feel very frightened. It felt like a deer and a sheep met a tiger, or a fish and turtle saw a dragon. "You, who are you? Are you an officer?"
Yang Peng smiled and said: "I am not an officer of the imperial court." When the middle-aged man heard this, he immediately felt relieved, became arrogant again, snorted, and said loudly: "You ordinary people, you know each other." Please get out of the way quickly, otherwise I will treat you all as bandits!"
Yang Peng laughed. The middle-aged man's expression changed, and he asked sternly and restrainedly: "Why are you laughing?" Yang Peng joked: "You are obviously bandits, but you insist on saying that you are officers and soldiers. Isn't this funny!" The young man didn't know what to say for a moment.
Yang Peng said: "I'll give you two ways. First, put down your weapons and surrender, or second, we will kill you one by one!" As soon as Yang Peng said this, all the secret guards stepped forward with murderous intent! The people in black all changed their colors and subconsciously took a step back. Their hearts were in turmoil. How could they continue to fight?
Seeing that the other party was about to take action, the middle-aged man estimated that he could not kill the other party no matter what, so he quickly threw away his weapon and shouted: "Don't do it, don't do it! We surrender!" When the black men saw that the leader had surrendered, they also They all threw away their weapons. Yang Peng waved his hand, and the secret guards came forward, tied up the middle-aged man and the men in black, and took them aside to guard them.
The two women, who had just recovered from the shock, got off the carriage and looked at Yang Peng, who was riding over. Seeing Yang Peng's majesty and prowess, the young lady couldn't help but feel her heart flutter, and two blushes appeared on her pretty face. Yang Peng got off his horse and walked up to the two women. The lady bowed excitedly: "Little girl Anxi, thank you so much for saving me!"
Yang Peng said with a smile: "Miss An, there is no need to thank you, I just happened to meet you!" Then he looked at the woman in white and said with a smile: "Miss Luo, I didn't expect that we would meet here!" It turns out that this woman in white is wearing a veil. The woman behind the curtain turned out to be the eldest lady of the Luo family, Luo Yanran. Luo Yanran bowed her head and said, "Thank you, Master, for saving me!" Her tone was much calmer than An Qian's, but she could not hide her excitement, and it also contained a very unexpected flavor. An Qian was surprised to see that the two of them knew each other, and then jealousy surged into her heart. The two women's servants and guards rushed up to pay their respects, and the two women's maids cried like tears. Luo Yanran spoke to comfort her subordinates, but An Qian was furious, just like a young lady who had been wronged.
Yang Peng said to Luo Yanran: "Miss Luo, please take a step to speak." Luo Yanran nodded and followed Yang Peng to the side. An Qian was furious when she saw the two of them walking aside and looking very intimate. Yang Peng glanced at Luo Yanran's subordinates in the distance and said to Luo Yanran: "Miss Luo, do any of your subordinates know me?" Luo Yanran thought for a while and said: "Except for my promoted maid Yun'er, the others No one has ever seen King Yan!" Yang Peng warned: "Don't reveal my identity to anyone, and tell Yun'er to keep her mouth shut too!" Luo Yanran said: "Don't worry, King Yan, I will never reveal this. Something! I just told Yun'er secretly, and she won't reveal it!" Yang Peng smiled and nodded.
Luo Yanran looked forward to it and said: "King Yan, can we help you? As long as King Yan needs it, our Luo Family Chamber of Commerce is willing to do anything for King Yan!"
Yang Peng thought for a while and said: "Thank you. I will speak up if necessary." Luo Yanran said: "Although our headquarters of the Luo Family Chamber of Commerce in Chengdu is not well-known to everyone, it is also very famous. King Yan only You have to send someone to inquire in Chengdu and you will be able to find out." Yang Peng nodded and said with a smile: "You are Zhao Xiangxiang's sister, just call me eldest brother." Luo Yanran was silent for a moment, raised her head and said, "I hope you It’s not because of my sister that you asked me to call you eldest brother!” Yang Peng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: “We have met several times and had dinner together several times. In fact, we can be considered friends. Even without Zhao Xiangxiang's relationship, we can still be considered friends." Luo Yanran looked at Yang Peng, suddenly snorted, and turned around. Yang Peng felt a little baffled.
There were endless cries in the basin. People knelt beside the bodies of their relatives and cried in grief. Luo Yanran and An Qian were cleaning up their goods and property, and collecting the bodies of their own personnel. Yang Peng and others escorted the prisoners back to the woods, and the middle-aged man was escorted in front of Yang Peng.
The two secret guards pressed the middle-aged man's shoulders and shouted: "Kneel down!" The middle-aged man knelt down, raised his head and glanced at Yang Peng sitting in front of him, with a look of fear on his face, and said: "I am the imperial official. , you can't do this to me! If you kill me, you will be killing the imperial officials, which is tantamount to rebellion, and the crime should be the death of the nine tribes!"
Yang Peng asked: "Can the imperial officials kill people at will?" The middle-aged man said: "This is just a misunderstanding. This general thought that a group of bandits gathered in the basin, so he led his army to raid!" Yang Peng smiled and said: "You do You pushed it all away!" The middle-aged man was a little unsure of the other party's identity. He felt that the young man in front of him seemed to be a well-known figure, but the other party was obviously just a businessman. He couldn't help but ask: "Who is your Excellency? Human? What the general did seems to have nothing to do with you, right?"
Yang Peng smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, I'm just asking." The middle-aged man frowned. Yang Peng asked: "Where did you get the army from?" The middle-aged man said angrily: "Brother, what does this matter have to do with you? Don't get into trouble! I advise you to let us all go. Just pretend this never happened!”
Yang Peng said: "You'd better answer my question honestly, so as not to ask for trouble." Yang Peng spoke very calmly, and his expression was very calm, but the middle-aged man couldn't help but feel fear in his heart, swallowed his saliva, and said: "We They came from Jiange, that's all right." Yang Peng asked again: "How many troops are stationed in Jiange?" "Five thousand people." Yang Peng thought for a moment and had someone take him down. Then he said to Wang Kai: "Let's go see Miss Anxi!" "Yes." Surrounded by more than a dozen guards, the two of them ran out of the woods and ran straight towards Anxi's camp.
When An Qian heard that Yang Peng asked for an audience, she was overjoyed and hurriedly left the camp. When he saw Yang Peng, his beautiful eyes were filled with brilliance. He went up to greet Yingying and bowed: "I didn't know that the strong man is here, so I missed the welcome. Please forgive me!" Yang Peng smiled and clasped his fists and said, "I took the liberty to disturb the lady's rest!" An Qian smiled sweetly and said: "Strong man Please come in and talk!" Yang Peng walked into the tent, and all he saw was Su embroidery and famous poems and paintings, as if it were the boudoir of a lady.
An Qian asked: "Strong man, please take a seat." Yang Peng thanked him and sat down on a chair. An Qian sat down next to him. The maid brought tea and bowed back.
Yang Peng picked up the tea bowl, and a familiar fragrance hit his face. He took a sip, nodded, and said: "It's the top quality Lu'an Maojian, not bad." An Qian was surprised, "I didn't expect the strong man to be so good. I recognized the name of this tea at a glance!" Yang Peng smiled.
An Qian asked: "Don't you know the strong man's surname?"
Yang Peng said, "My name is Yang Mu." An Qian read the name in a low voice and asked, "Is Brother Yang also in business?" Yang Peng nodded, "Doing some antiques and porcelain business." An Qian oh She made a sound and said: "My little sister is in the silk and rouge business." Yang Peng said with a smile: "These businesses are quite suitable for young ladies!" An Qian smiled sweetly, looked at Yang Peng, and said with brilliant eyes: "Little girl My sister also plans to do antiques, porcelain and business in the future. I wonder if Brother Yang is willing to cooperate with my younger sister?" Yang Peng said with a smile: "Of course I will not refuse anyone who comes to make money!" An Qian was very happy: "Then Very good!"
Yang Peng asked: "Is the lady a relative of Lord Xuanfu?"
An Qian nodded and said proudly: "The Sichuan Xuanfu Envoy is my uncle!" Yang Peng said oh, and then said strangely: "These bandits seem to be officers and soldiers pretending to be soldiers. I didn't expect them to buy the young lady's. face!"
When An Qian thought of what had just happened, she felt a lingering fear in her heart and said angrily: "These guys are so bold and dare to bully me! I will never let it go, I must make them look good!" Then she looked at Yang Peng and said: " Brother Yang, when you get to Chengdu, you will hand over all these people to my uncle, and I will let my uncle take care of them!" Yang Peng nodded and said: "When the time comes, I will also ask the young lady to introduce you to Lord Xuanfu! An Qian smiled and said: "Brother Yang is my little sister's savior, so there is no problem in meeting my uncle! With my relationship with my little sister, my uncle will definitely not treat Brother Yang as an outsider!" Yang Peng clasped his fists and said: " Thank you very much!"
An Qian said angrily: "Brother Yang and I, why are we so alienated?" Yang Peng was stunned for a moment, and when he saw An Qian's loving eyes, he understood immediately. An Qian frowned and asked, "Brother Yang, does that woman in white know Brother Yang?" Yang Peng nodded, "She is the eldest lady of the Luo family. We have known each other for a long time."
An Qian suddenly remembered a person, her expression changed, and she asked: "Is she the legendary Luo Yanran, the most beautiful girl in Shilin?" Yang Peng nodded and said, "That's her." An Qian immediately showed a look of jealousy. , "Humph! She is still wearing a gauze on her face, pretending to be mysterious, I think she must not be a good person!" Yang Peng smiled and said nothing.
An Qian looked at Yang Peng and asked jealously: "Brother Yang, are you interested in her?" Yang Peng smiled and said, "Although we have a good relationship, we can't tell who is attracted to whom." An Qian immediately He became happy and said: "A woman like that can be pretentious and is not worthy of brother!" Then he asked: "Brother, where are you from?" Yang Peng said: "I am a Han from Liao Kingdom." Yang Peng said deliberately. Stay away to avoid arousing unnecessary suspicion. An Qian exclaimed: "No wonder Brother Yang is so brave, he turns out to be a man from the north!" Then she showed contempt, "The men here only know how to care about things all day long. They are full of sourness, looking at It’s just annoying!”
Yang Peng smiled and asked: "Is Miss An from Sichuan?" An Qian nodded and asked curiously: "How did Brother Yang know?" Yang Peng said: "There are relatively few places with other surnames like An. There are quite a few in Sichuan, so I guess you are from Sichuan." An Qian smiled and said: "Brother is right, our An family is a big family in Sichuan!" Yang Peng said with a smile: "Then you will have to invite a young lady in the future. Please take good care of me!" An Qian smiled sweetly, her beautiful eyes turning, and said: "Brother Yang's business is my little sister's business, there is no need for Brother Yang to be polite to my little sister!" Yang Peng smiled slightly.
Yun'er hurried in from outside and said angrily: "It's not good, it's not good..." Luo Yanran, who was about to take a rest, said angrily: "What are you doing in a hurry?" Yun'er pointed outside and said anxiously : "That, that Yan, no, it's Brother Yang, he, he entered that Miss An's tent!" Luo Yanran said angrily: "What does this have to do with me?" Yun'er said in surprise: "Miss, yes Brother Yang went to Miss An's tent!" Luo Yanran said angrily: "I heard clearly! His legs are on his body, so he can go wherever he wants! Do we care? Humph, what's that An? The young lady is indeed very attractive, so it’s no surprise that he was attracted to her!”
Yun'er had never seen the young lady speak like this before, and looked at the young lady stupidly. Luo Yanran said angrily: "Why are you looking at me like this?" Yun'er came back to her senses and said: "Miss, you look like this, like this..." Luo Yanran said angrily: "Okay, okay, don't be with me It's noisy here! Go out, I want to rest!" Yun'er said, and prepared to go out. Luo Yanran suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute!" Yun'er turned around. Luo Yanran said: "You, go and see, brother, has he left?" Yun'er responded with a smile, turned around and ran out. Luo Yanran sat in a daze under the lamp.
Luo Yanran sat under the lamp and waited, feeling that the days were passing like years and her heart was filled with anxiety. The curtain suddenly opened and Yun'er finally came back. Luo Yanran asked hurriedly: "How is it? Is he still in that woman's tent?" There was a hint of crying in her voice.
Yun'er said with a smile: "Miss, don't worry, he has left just now. I went to inquire, and nothing happened to them!" Luo Yanran breathed a sigh of relief, and then said in embarrassment: "You are too talkative. What? What does it have to do with me if they find out what happened?" Yun'er looked smiling. Luo Yanran said angrily: "You little girl is getting more and more unruly! I want to rest, you go out!" Yun'er said awkwardly: "But, Brother Yang is coming this way, and the slaves are coming too. Going out?"
Luo Yanran was startled, "What did you say? He's here? What's he doing here?" Yun'er was about to answer when Yang Peng's voice came from outside: "Miss Luo, I'm here to see you. You can come in." ?"
Luo Yanran immediately panicked, her heart pounding, and she was so confused that she didn't know what to do for a moment. He quickly stood up and asked Yun'er in a low voice: "Do you think there is anything wrong with my dress?" Yun'er held Luo Yanran's arm and said with a smile: "No problem, Miss is the most beautiful woman in the world!" Luo Yanran thought in her heart He was overjoyed and said angrily: "You know how to talk!" At this time, Yang Peng's voice came in again: "Miss, if it's inconvenient, I'll leave!"
Luo Yanran quickly raised her voice and said: "Brother Yang, please come in!" The curtain opened and Yang Peng walked in. Luo Yanran saw Yang Peng, and her mood that had just calmed down became panicked again.
Yun'er glanced at the two of them, smiled and said, "I'll prepare tea!" Then he left. Only Yang Peng and Luo Yanran were left in the tent, and the atmosphere became even more awkward. Luo Yanran stretched out her hand and said: "Brother Yang, please sit down!" Yang Peng responded, walked to a chair and sat down. Seeing Luo Yanran still standing, she smiled and said, "Miss Luo, please sit down too!" Luo Yanran walked to Yang Peng and sat down.
Yang Peng said: "I came to see you, how are you? Is there anything you need my help with?" Luo Yanran was very happy when she heard that Yang Peng cared about her. She shook her head and said, "No, thank you, brother!" Yang Peng looked at Luo Yanran and said, He sighed and said: "It's too dangerous for you, a girl, to run around! If you hadn't met me this time, the consequences would be really unimaginable!"
Luo Yanran couldn't help but feel frightened when she thought about what happened just now, and said: "My father went to Ningxia, my brother is not good at business affairs, and the business to be discussed this time is very big, so I have to make this trip!"
Yang Peng smiled and said, "You are an amazing girl!" When Luo Yanran heard Yang Peng's praise, she was so happy that she couldn't control herself and said, "Big brother, thank you! In fact, what am I? Compared with you and your sisters-in-law, , it’s not worth mentioning at all!”
Yang Peng waved his hand, "You don't have to be modest, you are just as outstanding as them!" Then he smiled and said: "None of them understand business matters!" After Luo Yanran heard this, she couldn't help but thought to herself: "What he said is What's the meaning? Why are you comparing me to other princesses and saying that I am as good as them? And why is it said that none of the princesses are good at business affairs? Could it be that he wanted to...' As soon as she thought of this, Luo Yanran's heart beat loudly, and she felt a fever all over her body.
Yang Peng felt that there was nothing more to say, so he stood up and said, "I won't disturb your rest. If you need anything, you can send someone to tell me." Luo Yanran stood up and said, "You, are you leaving?" Yang Peng nodded and said, "You should have a good rest, I'm nearby, don't be afraid!" Luo Yanran hummed. Yang Peng turned and left. Luo Yanran stared at the door of the tent in a daze, turning over and over in her mind what Yang Peng had just said, and she couldn't help but guess. Yun'er came in with two bowls of tea, looked back and asked: "Miss, did I see the eldest brother left?" Luo Yanran sighed quietly and couldn't help but murmured: "You said him, he What are you thinking about?"
Yun'er put down the two bowls of tea, went over to hold Luo Yanran's arm, and said with a smile: "He must be interested in Miss!" Luo Yanran felt happy in her heart, and then said angrily: "Nonsense!" Yun'er suddenly said: " It turns out that such words are nonsense, I understand. Miss, should I say: He has no interest in Miss at all?" Luo Yanran snorted angrily.
Yun'er pursed her lips and snickered, then said with a serious look: "Miss, don't blame me for being talkative. If you like a man like eldest brother, you have to be more proactive! Otherwise, you will be the one who suffers in the future!"
Luo Yanran said in shame and annoyance: "Who said I like him!" Yun'er smiled and said: "Yes, yes, the lady doesn't like him! There is no man in the world that the lady likes!" Luo Yanran didn't. She said angrily, "Stop talking here, I want to rest!" Yun'er immediately said, "Miss, I'll stay outside. If you need anything, just call me." Luo Yanran nodded. Yun'er turned around and went out.
Early the next morning, Luo Yanran, An Qian and Yang Peng escorted the captured man in black towards Jiange. At noon, a group of people came under the sword pavilion. Suddenly, the sound of trumpets sounded from the Jiange Fortress on the mountain. At the same time, the city gate opened wide and a group of soldiers and horses rushed down. Luo Yanran, An Qian and others couldn't help but become nervous when they suddenly saw such a scene.
After a while, an army of about a thousand people rushed in front of them and stopped. A middle-aged man who looked like a general came out on a horse and shouted: "Who are you?" Anxi was still angry, but when she saw such a scene, her anger surged up. She got out of the carriage and stood A voice from the carriage said: "I am the niece of Mr. An Bingxuanfu, An Qian! What do you want to do?" When the general heard that he was the niece of Mr. Xuanfu, the general's face changed slightly, and there was a look of panic in his eyes.
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
