An Qian asked curiously: "Brother saw through the gangster's conspiracy, so he must have launched a counterattack immediately? By the way, brother, how did you know that we were trapped here?" Luo Yanran looked thoughtful, and she seemed to have guessed it. What, but didn't say it.
Yang Peng smiled and said: "Now that I have discovered the enemy's conspiracy, I will naturally take advantage of it. Just when they were concentrating on burning the post house, my people sneaked into the prefect's Yamen and kidnapped the prefect Wang Shanzi. I learned about it from him. The truth of the whole matter and the position where you are trapped, so I ordered Yan Ji to stay in Langzhou to arrest Wang Shanzi’s cronies and Mo Haotian’s people who stayed in Langzhou, while I left the city overnight and rushed here." Then it was revealed. She looked lucky and said, "Fortunately, I arrived in time, otherwise I might have regretted it too late!" The two women smiled sweetly.
Wang Kai rode his horse to Yang Peng's side, turned over and dismounted, clasped his fists and said: "Master, the bandits have been basically wiped out, but Mo Haotian and a few others escaped over the mountain, and found two teams of secret guards following them." Yang Peng nodded. , glanced at the scene, and saw the corpses of men in black lying on the ground, the originally clear stream was dyed blood red; the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, and the frightened birds were hovering in the sky. They did not dare to fall down; the captured men in black were imprisoned in an area, squatting on the ground, their masks had been torn off, and everyone had a look of fear on their faces. He turned to Wang Kai and ordered: "Leave half of the troops to continue pursuing the remnants of the bandits, and the rest will escort the prisoners and follow me back to Langzhou." Wang Kai responded, got on his horse, turned his horse's head and ran down. Following his series of shouts, the troops began to take action.
Yang Peng smiled and said to the two women: "There is no place to find a carriage at the moment, so you can ride with me." Luo Yanran did not speak, An Qian blushed and said coquettishly: "But it depends on the orders of the eldest brother. "
Yang Peng chuckled, picked up An Qian, and put her on Heilong's saddle. Then he picked up Luo Yanran and put her on the saddle, and then got on the horse. His hands passed under the two women's ribs and pulled the horse's reins. As soon as the horse's reins were pulled, the black dragon turned around. Yang Peng gently pinched the horse's belly again, and the black dragon walked towards the outside of the valley with a clatter of hooves. Wang Kai led fifty secret guards to the side, while Yun'er, Nuan'er, servants and maids trotted behind.
The two women were already very tired. At this time, they relaxed and couldn't bear it anymore, so they both fell asleep. When Yang Peng saw this, he felt heartbroken and controlled the black dragon more carefully.
Before nightfall that day, the group returned to Langzhou. Yan Ji and others came forward and saluted Yang Peng. Luo Yanran and An Qian came over at this time, still looking dazed. Luo Yanran asked: "Brother, where are you?" Yang Peng smiled and said: "This is Langzhou." The eyes of the two women were An. Qian couldn't help but said in surprise: "We're already in Langzhou?"
Yang Peng smiled, turned over and dismounted, and hugged the two women down one by one. The two women were a little dizzy and unsteady, holding Yang Peng with one hand. Yang Peng turned to Yun'er, Nuan'er and the other maids and said, "Please wait for the two ladies to rest in the back." Everyone agreed in unison and came forward to stand behind the two ladies. The two women looked at Yang Peng reluctantly and said, "Brother, we are going down." Yang Peng smiled and nodded. The two girls went to the backyard surrounded by other girls.
Yang Peng withdrew his gaze, looked at Yan Ji, and asked: "Have all the problems in the city been solved?" Yan Ji nodded, "All the rebellious officials and Mo Haotian's cronies left in Langzhou were all captured. Each government office The situation in the department was stable, and most people were not aware of what had happened until I arrested the criminal with a warrant from King Yan."
Yang Peng smiled and said: "Wang Shanzi would not let too many people know about this kind of thing." He looked at Yan Ji and said: "Bring that Wang Shanzi." Yan Ji responded, turned around and walked down quickly. Yang Peng walked into the lobby.
After a while, Yan Ji and two secret guards escorted Wang Shanzi to the lobby. As soon as Wang Shanzi saw Yang Peng sitting high and majestic, his heart was shocked, his knees softened and he knelt down, hurriedly kowtowed: "Sin, I'm going to pay homage to His Highness King Yan!"
Yang Peng asked: "What crime did you commit?" Wang Shanzi said in fear: "The guilty minister, the guilty minister was deceived by Mo Haotian, almost, almost killed the King of Yan, and almost killed the two young ladies. ! Guilty minister, I regret it so much, please ask the King of Yan to show mercy to the sinful minister for the sake of his honest confession! Sinful minister, the sinful minister has an eighty-year-old mother and a young son who is waiting to be fed. If the sinful minister encounters any misfortune, What should they do?" At this point, I couldn't help crying.
Yang Peng shouted: "Shut up!" Wang Shanzi's heart froze, and his crying suddenly stopped. He looked at Yang Peng who was sitting on top in panic.
Yang Peng said: "In Yanyun, it is useless to plead for mercy. Everything must be done in accordance with the law! The crime you committed deserves to be beheaded." Wang Shanzi was shocked and almost fainted. Then he heard Yang Peng say again: "But You were able to honestly explain the problem after being arrested. This is a lenient circumstance." When Wang Shanzi heard that he did not need to die, he immediately felt as if he had come back from the gate of hell. He was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Thank you Yan. Thank you for not killing me!" Yang Peng said: "But the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped. Although you can avoid death, the crime is too heavy and you must be imprisoned for life!"
Wang Shanzi couldn't help but change his expression. Thinking of the days when he would be imprisoned for life and never see the light of day, he couldn't help but tremble all over. He hurriedly kowtowed and begged: "King Yan, please have mercy! King Yan, have mercy!..."
Yang Peng waved his hand, and Yan Ji understood, and immediately ordered two secret guards to escort Wang Shanzi down. Wang Shanzi still kept making shrill screams. When Wang Shanzi's screams finally disappeared, Yang Peng said: "If I had known today, why would I have done it in the first place! If you want to rebel against me, that's not impossible, but you have to weigh your own weight!"
Yan Ji said: "King Yan, it is inappropriate for Wang Shanzi to be detained here. He should be taken to Chengdu for detention." Yang Peng nodded, "Of course. When the army arrives, they will escort him back to Chengdu." The night Yang Peng saw through his opponent's plan, he sent people to Chengdu overnight to mobilize troops. At this time, five thousand cavalry were already on their way. According to time, the five thousand cavalry should arrive in Langzhou tomorrow morning. …
Luo Yanran and An Qian both finished washing and put on clean clothes, feeling refreshed. Immediately, the two women directed Yun'er, Nuan'er and all the palace maids to get busy preparing dinner.
When Yang Peng and Yan Ji finished talking about things and came to the back hall, they saw that a sumptuous banquet had been prepared. The two women were sitting at the table waiting for him. When they saw him arriving, they both showed happy expressions and stood up to greet him. The three of them sat down, Luo Yanran poured wine for Yang Peng, and An Qian served Yang Peng with food. The two women really looked like gentle and virtuous wives. Yang Peng drank a glass of wine, ate some food, glanced at the two women, and said with some fear: "Fortunately, God bless me and didn't let me lose you!"
The two women couldn't help but show fear. Luo Yanran said: "When we heard the news that my eldest brother was killed, we were really, really scared to death! I felt that the world had lost its color in an instant, and there was no point in living anymore. I just thought Follow big brother..." Luo Yanran couldn't help but say such words. Suddenly she saw Yang Peng looking at her affectionately. She immediately realized that she had forgotten her love. She was so shy that she quickly closed her mouth and lowered her head. head.
An Qian said quickly: "At that time, my sister and I really wanted to die! But we couldn't believe what the culprit said, so we pretended to surrender." Then her charming face showed an extremely happy look, "Finally, God bless us. , Big brother suddenly appeared and saved us!" Luo Yanran nodded with deep sympathy.
Yang Peng said: "Your decision is correct. Fortunately, you didn't act recklessly, otherwise I would have cried without tears!" The two women looked at Yang Peng, An Qian looked as gentle as water, and Luo Yanran still wore a veil, looking at I can't see her expression, but I think her expression should be the same as Anxi's.
Yang Peng said: "I came here all the way and saw the situation of relocation of refugees from various places. It is really very organized and meticulous. You guys did a very good job, even better than I expected!" The two women smiled sweetly. For them, there is nothing better than the big brother. The praise made me even happier.
Yang Peng frowned and said: "But after what happened this time, I have to be extra careful about your safety!" He glanced at the two women and said: "I think you can control it remotely from Chengdu, there is no need to visit the scene in person. "
The two women looked at each other, and Luo Yanran said softly: "Brother cares about the safety of our sisters. We couldn't be happier! Remote control is possible, but if you don't go to the scene in person, I'm afraid there will inevitably be problems in many aspects, and everywhere I'm afraid the officials may also be negligent. Therefore, I think we sisters must go to the scene in person."
An Qian nodded and said: "What my sister said is true! Brother, you don't have to worry too much. Things like this time can be said to be extremely special situations and cannot happen often!" Luo Yanran nodded.
Yang Peng glanced at the two women and said, "You are really like sisters!" The two women smiled. Yang Peng thought: "What you said makes sense." He glanced at the two women and smiled: "Since you must come to the scene in person, then I will obey you." The two women were overjoyed, stood up, and worshiped; "Thank you, brother!" Yang Peng chuckled and sighed. The two women sat back in their seats.
Yang Peng was drinking and eating vegetables while chatting with the two women. Time passed and the bright moon hung high on the branches. The two women were far from recovering physically and mentally. After drinking for a while, they were already too drunk. Yang Peng could not help but feel distressed when he saw that the two girls were depressed but still trying to cheer up. He said softly: "You guys go down and have a rest."
The two women shook their heads, and An Qian smiled and said: "We are fine." Yang Peng said angrily: "I can't even open my eyes and you still say it's fine!" Then he shouted: "Here comes someone." Stand guard at the door. Yun'er and Nuan'er rushed in immediately, bowed and said: "Master, what are your orders?" Yang Peng pointed at Luo Yanran and An Qian and said: "Help your young ladies go down to rest and wait well." The two women agreed, They walked to their young ladies and called her softly. Seeing that their eldest brother felt sorry for them, the two girls only felt warm in their hearts. Although they wanted to stay and drink and talk with their eldest brother, they did not dare to disobey his words. They stood up and said to Chen Xiao: "Brother, we are going down." Yang Peng After nodding, the two women went down with the support of their respective maids.
After the two women went down, Yang Peng began to think about himself. The clear sound of the clear wine falling from the jug into the wine glass was particularly clear in this silent night; Yang Peng was thinking about the current general trend of the world in his mind. …
Yang Peng stood under the moon, looking at the crescent moon in the sky. Yan Ji quickly came behind Chen Xiao, followed his gaze, and saw the bright crescent moon. Some strange feelings could not help but arise in my heart: How could King Yan appreciate the moonlight like a scholar? I wonder what he is thinking about now?
Seeing Yang Peng's side face showing a lonely and melancholy look, her heart trembled involuntarily. At that moment, she really wanted to walk into his heart. Yang Peng's voice suddenly came: "Do you think there are gods in this world?" Yan Ji came back to her senses and said, "I don't know. But many people believe that there are gods and Buddhas all over the sky!" Yang Peng sighed, "What if? How wonderful it would be if the sky were filled with gods and Buddhas!" Yan Ji didn't understand what Yang Peng meant and didn't say anything.
Yang Peng turned around and asked: "If there are gods and Buddhas who can realize one of your wishes, what wish would you make?" Yan Ji shook her head, "I don't have any wishes!" Yang Peng revealed. Looking surprised, she pointed at her nose and asked earnestly: "Really you don't have any wishes?" Yan Ji was so embarrassed that she didn't dare to look into Yang Peng's eyes, so she looked away and looked at the reflection on the water. The moon murmured: "Why bother yourself with those impossible things!"
Yang Peng said: "That's not impossible! In fact, as long as you say it, it will come true immediately!" Yan Ji looked at Yang Peng and saw the fiery look in his eyes. She immediately understood that he had misunderstood and said quickly: "No, I didn't mean that!" Yang Peng asked with a smile: "That's not what it meant, what did it mean?" Yan Ji didn't know how to answer, and looked very embarrassed. Yang Peng chuckled, "Okay, okay, don't be embarrassed, I'm just joking with you!" Yan Ji suddenly raised her head and said angrily: "Don't you guys think this kind of thing is a big deal? A game?!" Yang Peng said. Yan Ji couldn't get rid of her anger, snorted and turned around.
Yang Peng looked at Yan Ji's graceful back, couldn't help but smile, and muttered: "A woman's mind is really the most confusing thing in the world!" He shook his head, bent down to pick up a stone, and threw it toward her. Throwing it on the water, the stone jumped on the water and finally fell into the water with a splash. Yang Peng chuckled and said, "I'm so precious!"
At this moment, rapid footsteps suddenly came from behind. Yang Peng turned around and was surprised to see Yan Ji coming back quickly. Yan Ji came not far away from Yang Peng and said angrily: "You were so angry that you forgot about the business. There was a report just now that the prince's army defeated Dingwei's army in Jiangxi and occupied Hongzhou. Liu Guangshi led The remnant retreated to Raozhou. Guangnan East Road, all prefectures and counties have expressed their allegiance to the prince."
Yang Peng thought: "This has long been expected. Everyone is pushing against the wall. At this moment, Zhao Heng is probably like an ant on a hot pot!" Yan Ji took out a letter, handed it to Yang Peng, and said: " He is indeed an ant on the hot pot. This is the letter asking for help from Zhao Heng forwarded by Du Nan." Yang Peng picked up the letter, opened the envelope, took out the letter paper, unfolded it, read it over, and laughed: "Zhao Heng Heng actually asked me to ascend the throne, and he willingly took the position of King of Song Dynasty on the condition that I send troops to rescue him!" Yan Ji glanced at Yang Peng and said: "Your current authority is far better than that of these people in the world today. Emperor, you deserve to be crowned emperor!"
Yang Peng asked in surprise: "You want me to be the emperor? Do you agree to marry me after I become the emperor?" Yan Ji was so embarrassed that she stamped her feet and said angrily: "Why are you talking nonsense? Eight ways!" Yang Peng let out a long sigh and couldn't help but murmured: "It's so ruthless to let flowers fall and flow like water!" Yan Ji couldn't help but chuckle and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? You are not a woman, and I am neither. A man!" Yang Peng said with a smile: "Even if you are a man, all the men in the world are still fascinated by you!" Yan Ji said angrily: "Don't say these improper words! You are the King of Yan who is famous all over the world! Yang Peng immediately restrained his expression and said in a pretentious manner: "What Ai Ji said is absolutely true, I have learned from it!" Yang Peng's tone and demeanor were very serious, but the word 'Ai Ji' showed something wrong. Yan Ji was stunned for a moment, and then she was so angry that she had nothing to say.
Yang Peng stopped talking and joking, his mind returned to the letter in his hand, and thought: "I have no intention of becoming emperor, but I can save him." Then he walked towards the study. Yan Ji followed. Yang Peng came to the study and sat down, looking thoughtful, while Yan Ji walked to the desk to polish ink for him. After Yang Peng thought carefully about it, Yan Ji's ink was also polished. Yang Peng picked up a wolf hair, dipped it in ink, and started writing quickly on the letter paper. Although Yan Ji stood nearby, she did not look at it. She knew her duty as a subordinate.
Yang Peng wrote the letter, checked it was correct, folded it and put it in the envelope, and then wrote on the envelope: "Guanyin personally expresses it!" Guanyin is Yeqi Guanyin, and the name Guanyin is Yang Peng's exclusive title for Yeqi Guanyin. call. Now that Yedi Guanyin is leading the army in Huainan, Yang Peng's letter may be asking her to take action. Originally, Yang Peng sent Han Bing to Huainan to lead the army. However, shortly after Yang Peng left Tianjing New City, an urgent report came from the northwest, saying that a rebellion had occurred in Xingqing Mansion, Ningxia. In view of this, Yang Peng made a temporary change. The previous decision ordered Han Bing to go to Ningxia and go to Huainan via Yeqi Guanyin. Zhang Xiang was still in charge of Tianjing New City.
Yang Peng handed the letter to Yan Ji and said, "Give it to Wang Kai and ask him to send someone out immediately!" Yan Ji took the letter, made a promise, and ran down. Early the next morning, five thousand warriors of the Ninth Legion, led by Commander Shi Ping, arrived in Langzhou.
"General, I will pay my respects to King Yan!" Shi Ping said. This xuanzan was originally the general of Heifengshan. He and many brothers left the Black Panther and defected to Yanyun. Now he is in charge of the left army of the Ninth Army. This left army is an infantry army. The reason why he led the cavalry to drive The reason for coming is that many of the main generals of the Ninth Army are not in Chengdu. Some are still in Guozhou, and some have not returned from the expedition with Huyan Bixian. Yuanjue, the deputy commander and cavalry commander, is in Kuimen, the capital of Xuanjia Army. The ruler of the Kingdom of Zhan Jin led the Xuanjia Army to leave Chengdu for Kuimen. Because of the emergency, Shi Ping, the oldest man staying in Chengdu, led the cavalry to come to the rescue!
Yang Peng said: "No need to be polite!" Shi Ping stood up. Yang Peng asked: "Is there nothing going on in Chengdu?" Shi Ping clasped his fists and said: "Everything is fine in Chengdu." Yang Peng nodded, turned to look at Luo Yanran and An Qian, and asked: "You really don't want to go back to Chengdu with me? "Luo Yanran said: "Brother, we have made a decision!" Her tone was gentle, but she revealed a very determined meaning.
Yang Peng sighed and praised Xuan: "Separate a thousand cavalry troops to serve as escorts for Miss Luo and Miss An until they complete their mission." Shi Ping clasped his fists and agreed. He couldn't help but glance at Luo Yanran and An Qian and said to himself: 'It is rumored that these two young ladies are going to become princesses. Now it seems that the rumors are true! I have to select the two most elite thousand-war cavalry escort girls to ensure nothing goes wrong! '
Yang Peng said to Luo Yanran and An Qian: "Eldest brother is leaving today." The two women were reluctant to leave, but they didn't say anything. Yang Peng didn't say anything more. If he said too much, he would be reluctant to leave.
Later that day, Yang Peng and his party left Langzhou, while Luo Yanran, An Qian and his party continued their work under the protection of a thousand cavalry troops. The next stop was Bazhou, northeast of Langzhou. As for the local government of Langzhou, it was temporarily handed over to two officials who had some issues with Wang Shanzi, and other staff who were not involved in the conspiracy remained in their original posts. Except for the ruins of the burned post house, everything in Langzhou City was as usual, as if nothing had happened.
Yang Peng and his party returned to Chengdu. As soon as they arrived in Chengdu, the general Sun Xie and the prefect Yu Qing who stayed in Chengdu came to greet them. Sun Xie immediately reported: "To report to King Yan, Han Tong and the leaders of the Xishan Yechuan tribes have been escorted." Yang Peng nodded, The group of people headed straight towards the palace. Soon after, everyone entered the palace hall. Yang Peng walked up to the top and sat down. When everyone saw Yang Peng sitting down, they sat down on the chairs on the left and right sides of the Highness according to their rank. Yan Ji is the chief of the Huaxu Pavilion. She has a military rank and is much higher than Sun Xie, so she sits on the left, Sun Xie sits below her, and Yu Qing, the prefect of Chengdu, sits on the right.
Yang Peng said to Wang Kai who was standing aside: "Bring Han Tong and the tribal leaders up!" Wang Kai agreed and shouted outside: "Bring Han Tong and the leaders of the Xishan Yechuan tribes!" shouted outside the door. The sound spread all the way, and soon after, Han Tong and others, wearing shackles and handcuffs, were escorted into the main hall by the sergeants.
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
