Ye Qi Guanyin leaned into Yang Peng's arms and fell into a trance.
Yang Peng and his entourage returned to Tianjing New City. Anyway, all matters were handled by the cabinet, and there was no major matter that he needed to decide. So he spent the whole day either accompanying his wife and concubine to the lake to enjoy flowers, or under the moonlight. The whole family enjoys the foreplay, unaware of the passage of time. As for Zhou Bingqian, the sister Yang Peng recognized in Tanzhou, her two maids also lived in the palace. Zhou Bingqian had a delicate appearance, a gentle temperament, and a very friendly manner and manner. She gained the favor of all the princesses not long after she came to the palace. Especially with the Dali princess Qionghua who often came to the palace to relax, she became a close friend who talked about everything.
This morning, the sun was shining brightly, and the birds were chirping on the branches. Zhou Bingqian led her maid Wutong outside. When he was about to leave the backyard, he met Jiang Li, the commander of the Feifeng Female Guard and the Princess of Yan. Zhou Bingqian bowed her head: "Little sister has met my sister-in-law!" Zhou Bingqian recognized Yang Peng as her eldest brother, and all the princesses in the Yan Palace were naturally her sisters-in-law.
Jiang Li asked with a smile: "Sister Bingqian, are you going out?" Zhou Bingqian stood up and said: "Sister, I have been here for a long time, but I haven't even gone to see it on the street. I have long heard that Tianjing New City is the best place in the world. It is a prosperous place where people and merchants gather. I really want to take a good look at it!" Jiang Li said with a smile: "Before King Yan regained Yanjing, the population of Tianjing New City was actually declining and merchants were not prosperous. It was under the governance of the eldest brother. It has just turned into what it is now! It can be said that it has changed a lot. It is time to take a closer look!" Zhou Bingqian showed an expression of admiration and said: "Big brother is an unparalleled hero who has never been born in the world. He is really a blessing to all people in the world!" Jiang Li nodded with deep sympathy, then she didn't know what she thought of, and smiled softly, with a hint of lingering affection in her expression.
After coming back to her senses, she said to Zhou Bingqian: "Sister Bingqian's status is unusual now, so we still need to pay attention to this safety issue! I will ask a few female guards to accompany you, first to protect your safety, and secondly, to Be your guide, they are all very familiar with this Tianjing New City!"
Zhou Bingqian hesitated for a moment, smiled slightly, and bowed Yingying: "Thank you, sister-in-law!" Jiang Li smiled slightly, turned to the female guards around her and said: "You stay with sister Bingqian to protect her safety." Several female guards Hold your fist and promise.
Jiang Li said to Zhou Bingqian again: "Sister Bingqian must come back before dark, otherwise all of us will be worried." Zhou Bingqian responded, then said goodbye to Jiang Li and left. Jiang Li glanced at Zhou Bingqian's back, smiled slightly, and then went about her business.
Zhou Bingqian and others came to the street and saw dense crowds and shops. Looking around, there was no end in sight for the crowds, but there was no end in sight for the shops either. The shouts of vendors kept coming and going, and the fierce bidding sounds were endless. Zhou Bingqian couldn't help showing wonder, and then she showed a look of fear. She had never been shopping in such a crowded street. She always felt that there were too many people and she felt unsafe. He turned to several female guards and said: "Sisters, let's go to a place with fewer people!" The female guards were flattered, and the leading female guard quickly bowed: "I don't dare to call you a lady like that! You are recognized by the master. Sister, you are also our master! You can go wherever the lady says!"
Zhou Bingqian looked around and saw that the street not far away seemed to have fewer people, so she pointed there and said, "Let's go over there and have a look." Several female guards glanced in the direction of her finger and responded. There was a sound.
The group of people walked to that street. This street is a branch street next to South Street. Compared with the main street, it is much smaller and has fewer people, but it is still a scene of a lot of people. Zhou Bingqian didn't like this, so she led everyone into a teahouse on the street, Qingyun Tea House. Although it was early in the morning, Qingyun Tea House was already half full of guests.
The group climbed up to the second floor, sat down at a table by the window, and ordered some refreshments. While eating and drinking, they admired the scenery of Tianjing New City outside the window. They saw the buildings stretching like mountains, the terraces lined up in rows, and the green willows shimmering in the distance. Sparkling, a wonderful scene of spring, with people nearby bustling and noisy, a scene of prosperous market.
Zhou Bingqian felt so open-minded and couldn't help but say: "It's better to enjoy the scenery here! Tianjing New City is indeed a beautiful scenery. The spring scenery is charming and the market is prosperous. I'm afraid there is no better place in the world than here!"
The leading female guard smiled and said: "Of course! Coupled with the master's management, it is naturally extraordinary! How can the scenery elsewhere be as good as here!" Zhou Bingqian smiled and nodded, "This Tianjing The new city is the place where Zhong Lingyu's royal aura returns. It is extraordinary, and after some arrangement by the elder brother, it will naturally become otherworldly, like heaven and earth!" Several palace maid guards laughed happily, and the leading lady The guard said: "Miss, what you said is so good!"
There were several young men sitting at a table in the distance. They all looked like they were in business. Since Zhou Bingqian and others came up, their eyes have glanced over from time to time. The man in the brown silk shirt said in amazement: "That lady is really beautiful and fragrant. I wonder which family she is from?" The man in the white silk shirt glanced at Zhou Bingqian and said with admiration: "Jiutian Xuannv, Fairy Qionglou, I’m afraid it’s nothing more than this!” Everyone nodded in admiration. The man in the black silk shirt said angrily: "Don't have any wishful thinking! Didn't you see that the women around her all had long knives?" Hearing this, several people couldn't help but glance at the women around the young lady. , and sure enough, I saw that except for one ratio, all of them had long knives on their waists.
The man in brown clothes said: "So what? When ladies or ladies from famous families go out, it is normal for guards to follow them!" The man in black clothes sneered, "You are really ignorant! Look at their knives! Then It's King Yan's Hengdao. Which guard in the world can be equipped with that kind of weapon? It's exclusive to Prince Yan's palace!" Only then did all the companions notice, and they were all shocked. One person whispered in surprise: "Is it possible that the young lady , unexpectedly, it will be a certain Princess Yan?!" The man in black nodded and said: "I think that's 80% true!"
Everyone couldn't help but secretly glance at Zhou Bingqian again, and couldn't help but marvel in their hearts. One person sighed in a low voice: "I have long heard that the Princess Yan is as beautiful as a fairy! Only when I saw her today did I realize that she is indeed well-deserved!" Everyone nodded. Originally, everyone wanted to go up and strike up a conversation, but now they didn't dare, so they had to sneak a glance or two from time to time to feast their eyes.
Zhou Bingqian said: "I'm going to the toilet, you guys wait for me here." She stood up after saying that. Several female guards immediately stood up, and the leading female guard said: "We will accompany the lady."
Zhou Bingqian smiled slightly and said, "No need. As long as Wutong stays with me, could something happen in this tea house?" Several female guards thought about it and stopped insisting. Zhou Bingqian went down accompanied by Wutong, and several female guards sat back in their seats.
Zhou Bingqian came to the back of the tea house and was suddenly greeted by a young man. Arriving in front of Zhou Bingqian, Zhou Bingqian stopped, turned to Wutong and said, "Go in and watch, don't let anyone come over." Wutong responded and returned to the teahouse.
The man smiled and said, "Miss Zhou, I thought you wouldn't contact us!" Zhou Bingqian frowned and asked, "What do you mean by that?" The man smiled and said, "That Yang Peng is a lecherous evil spirit. Legend has it that She is so talented and so good in bed, I thought Miss Zhou had forgotten the murder of her father!"
Zhou Bingqian snorted and said coldly: "I will never forget the murder of my father!" The man snorted coldly, "If that's the case, why haven't you taken any action for so long?" Zhou Bingqian glanced at the man and said angrily. : "Is it easy for you to take this matter seriously? King Yang Peng of Yan is so powerful that he is a powerful figure who has not been around for thousands of years. It is not easy to kill him!"
The man asked with a gloomy face: "I think you are in love with him?" Zhou Bingqian gave the man a strange look and sneered: "Are you jealous?" The man's expression changed, and he reached out and grabbed Zhou Bingqian's wrist, angrily shouted: "You really fell in love with him! He, has he touched you?"
Zhou Bingqian jerked her wrist away and said angrily: "This is a trick you came up with, and now you are questioning me? Mr. Mo, since you used this beauty trick, why should you be jealous!" This man who secretly met Zhou Bingqian, unexpectedly It's Mo Haotian, the son of the Mo family, the former great noble clan in Sichuan!
Mo Haotian stared at Zhou Bingqian, as if he wanted to swallow her up. Zhou Bingqian looked back at him without fear. Mo Haotian sighed suddenly, turned around and looked at the rockery trees in the back garden, and murmured: "I know you hate me! But this is a last resort! As you said, King Yan is a rare hero who has not been seen in thousands of years. He wants to kill His revenge is not easy! Although I don't want to use this beauty trick, in order to kill him, I have to bear the pain and give up my love! This is just like Fan Li back then!" Zhou Bingqian said quietly: "But I am not Xi Tzu!"
Mo Haotian was shocked, and quickly looked at Zhou Bingqian, frowning and asked: "Why do you say that?" Zhou Bingqian glanced at Mo Haotian, then raised her head and sighed infatuatedly, and said: "This man, King Yan, is really So powerful and majestic! He made me feel supreme happiness. I never thought that being a woman could be so happy before!"
Mo Haotian was greatly shocked, and with a low growl, he grabbed Zhou Bingqian's shoulders and shouted: "What did you say? You, you and him, you..." Zhou Bingqian stared at Mo Haotian and sneered: "Isn't this what you said? Did you hope? Now you have got what you wanted!" Mo Haotian was furious, but had nowhere to vent. As Zhou Bingqian said, everything was his plan, so what did he have to say.
Zhou Bingqian pushed away Mo Haotian who was like a wounded beast, and said coldly: "For revenge, all sacrifices are inevitable! Why do you have to do this! In fact, when you made this plan, you should have thought Such a result!" Mo Haotian took a deep breath and nodded, "You're right!" Then he asked with a gloomy face: "Since you gave your body to him, why didn't you kill him? "
Zhou Bingqian said: "Because there is no chance!" Mo Hao glared at Zhou Bingqian and asked: "You lied to me, right? Isn't it possible that a one-night romance will make you unable to do anything?"
Zhou Bingqian glanced at Mo Haotian and said: "Believe it or not, it's up to you!" After a pause, she frowned and said solemnly: "Anyway, I must kill Yang Peng!" She glanced at Mo Haotian and said: "I came here this time to let you know that everything is going smoothly, so you don't have to worry!" After hearing this, Mo Haotian felt really angry and depressed, and also felt a little lucky. Zhou Bingqian said: "You can't help me now, it's best not to do anything! Otherwise, it will be a disservice! If there is a chance for you to take action, I will send Wutong to inform you!" Mo Haotian remained silent. Zhou Bingqian said: "I've finished my words. See you again when we have the chance!" With a look of reluctance in her eyes, she turned around and walked into the teahouse. Mo Haotian really wanted to call out Zhou Bingqian, but in the end he didn't say it. He said with a sullen face: "Yang Peng! If I, Mo Haotian, don't cut you into pieces, I will never be a human being!" He saw the ceramic flower next to him. He kicked the flower pot over in anger and anger, and with a bang, the flower pot was shattered by the kick.
Zhou Bingqian returned upstairs and told several female guards that she felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to go home. Several female guards immediately became nervous. The leading female guard quickly asked: "I don't know where Miss is feeling uncomfortable. Is it important?" Zhou Bingqian shook her head and said, "Don't worry. This is an old problem of mine. The doctor said it's because I rarely have it." Your body is relatively weak when you move around, so you will feel a little uncomfortable after walking for a while." The female guard at the head said quickly: "In that case, let's send the lady back home quickly!"
Zhou Bingqian and her party returned to the palace, and several female guards said goodbye. Zhou Bingqian, the master and the maidservant, came to the backyard. Zhou Bingqian stood in the corridor and thought for a moment when she saw a maid coming towards her with tea and bowed. Zhou Bingqian said: "No need to be polite." The maid stood up. Zhou Bingqian glanced at the tea in her hand and asked: "Is this for eldest brother?" The maid said: "Yes. King Yan is handling official business in the study, and Princess Yelu ordered the slaves to brew some refreshing tea."
Zhou Bingqian stretched out her hands and said, "Give it to me, I'll deliver it." The maid showed embarrassment, and then thought that Miss Bingqian was the sister recognized by King Yan, so there was nothing wrong with it, so she agreed and handed over the tray. In Zhou Bingqian's hands. Zhou Bingqian said to Wutong: "You go back to the room first." Wutong responded and went down.
Zhou Bingqian brought tea and came to the study accompanied by the maid. At this time, Yang Peng was reading an official document that he had just received, while Princess Yelu was sitting on the left and Princess Han Bing was sitting on the right. Han Bing seemed to be more beautiful than before, and her figure was also more beautiful. She is plump and her belly is slightly bulging, but it is not obvious yet.
Zhou Bingqian and the maid came in. Han Bing and Yelu Hanyu heard the sound, turned their heads, and smiled slightly when they saw Zhou Bingqian coming in with tea. Zhou Bingqian's face blushed slightly, she walked to the desk and put down the tray. He turned over the two teacups that were upside down on the tray, then picked up the teapot and poured two cups of tea. The rich aroma of tea immediately filled the entire study.
Yang Peng was overwhelmed by the fragrance of tea and couldn't help but raise his head. Seeing that it was Zhou Bingqian serving him tea, he felt a little surprised and said with a smile: "Why is it you!" Zhou Bingqian blushed and said softly: "Don't you think that big brother Do you want to see us?" Yang Peng's heart skipped a beat and he chuckled: "Of course not!"
Zhou Bingqian picked up a cup of tea and drank it first. She was trying the food. In order to prevent poisoning and harm from people in ancient times, in addition to numerous protective measures, the last hurdle was for a trusted person to taste the food. If the food or drink was poisonous, Then the person who tries to eat it will be poisoned first, and naturally the rightful owner will not be harmed. Yang Peng didn't do this originally, but someone used Yang Tong to poison her and almost caused a huge disaster. So from then on, the princesses set up this set of rules for food tasting, and everything Yang Peng ate and drank , all must be tasted by the maid before they are harmless to Yang Peng.
Zhou Bingqian paused for a moment, nothing unusual happened, then picked up another cup of tea and placed it in front of Yang Peng. Yang Peng picked up the teacup, took a sip, put down the teacup, and glanced at Zhou Bingqian with a smile. Zhou Bingqian's face turned red and she bowed and said, "Little sister, I won't disturb my elder brother in his work anymore. Little sister, take my leave." She was about to leave.
Han Bing said with a smile: "Sister Bingqian, there is no need to leave in a hurry, just sit with us for a while." Zhou Bingqian said worriedly: "I'm afraid it will disturb my eldest brother and two sisters-in-law!"
Yelu Hanyu smiled and said, "What's the point of disturbing you?" Then he pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Just sit next to me." Zhou Bingqian nodded and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law." Then she turned to Yang Peng. Got a questioning look. Yang Peng smiled and said, "Listen to your sister-in-law." Zhou Bingqian responded and walked to sit next to Yelu Hanbing.
Yang Peng turned his thoughts back to the official document in front of him and frowned: "I miscalculated this time. I didn't expect the Japanese to be defeated so quickly!"
Yelu Hanyu smiled and said: "Now that I think about it, this result is quite normal! I thought that the Japanese were actually fighting among themselves, but they were all furious! If the Khitans had not invaded Goryeo, they would not have stopped anyway. ! Because of the threat from the Khitans, they had to stop fighting internally and unite with the outside world. However, since they had become enemies, they naturally lacked trust in each other and were even always wary of each other! In this case, the Khitans' military strength accounted for With the advantage and the support of the people of Goryeo, the Japanese were naturally defeated like a mountain!"
Yang Peng nodded. Zhou Bingqian asked curiously: "Have the Japanese been defeated by the Khitans?"
The three of them looked at Zhou Bingqian. Yang Peng nodded with a smile and said, "Yes. I originally hoped that the Japanese and the Khitans would fight and both sides would suffer. However, it backfired. The Japanese were defeated one after another and suffered heavy losses. They had lost most of Goryeo's territory and retreated. Several coastal fortresses in the south are still resisting! Looking at the current situation, it will only be a matter of time before the Khitans regain the entire island and the Japanese are driven out of Goryeo!"
"Then, does the eldest brother plan to use troops against the Khitans? We can't let the Khitans grow stronger again!" Zhou Bingqian said. Yang Peng laughed and said: "What you said makes sense, but I can't help the Japanese!" Zhou Bingqian showed a puzzled look.
Yang Peng thought: "Some things cannot be explained for a while. In addition, my current energy is to unify Jiangnan. It is better not to cause unnecessary problems." Zhou Bingqian smiled sheepishly and said: "Little sister You are so stupid that you made my eldest brother and two sisters-in-law laugh!"
Han Bing smiled and said: "Actually, what you said is right, sister. The decisive battle with the Khitans is inevitable, so it is also a good strategy to prevent the Jin people from living in peace as much as possible. It's just that things have priorities. The focus now is not on the Khitans People, but to unify Jiangnan." Zhou Bingqian nodded, then frowned and said worriedly: "The war between Yanyun and Liao in the future will definitely be more tragic than any previous war!"
The three of them smiled. Yelu Hanyu glanced at Yang Peng tenderly and said to Zhou Bingqian: "As long as your eldest brother is here, the Khitan people can't take advantage. You don't have to worry!" Zhou Bingqian glanced at Yang Peng and said yes. With a sound, he lowered his head with a thoughtful look on his face.
His eyes turned to Dali Country.
Duan Zhichun received the summons from the emperor's brother and rushed to the palace study immediately. However, he saw a completely unexpected person in the palace study, a person dressed in the uniform of a Tubo noble. Duan Zhichun frowned and bowed to the emperor: "Your Majesty!" The emperor pointed at the Tubo man and said: "This is the Tubo counselor, Lord Gando, and he is also a member of the Tubo royal family."
Gan Duo bowed to Duan Zhichun and said, "I've heard of General Duan's reputation for a long time. I'm so lucky to see him today!" Gan Duo spoke Chinese, and he was very fluent in his words.
Duan Zhichun was slightly surprised and returned the greeting: "I don't dare. Your Excellency has given you a compliment!" Then he clasped his fists towards the emperor and said: "Brother, I wonder why Lord Gando is here?" The emperor said: "Lord Gando is here this time. He came with great sincerity, he hopes to turn enemies into friends with our country of Dali!" Duan Zhichun frowned, looked at Gan Duo, and said: "The sun is really rising in the west, I didn't expect Tubo to The country actually took the initiative to make peace with our Dali country!"
Gan Duo said quickly: "Previously, our country wanted to expand its territory and establish a large country. It offended your country. Please forgive me!" Duan Zhichun originally held a grudge against the Tibetan invasion every year, but seeing him like this I apologized humbly, but I felt like I couldn't break out. Then I thought about it: Which country is not like this? In fact, the disputes between countries are not really big enemies! If we can make peace with Tubo, it will be a great blessing for the people!
The emperor said: "The whole country in Dali is very happy to be able to reconcile with Tubo! But it is difficult for me to agree to the proposal made by your country!" When Duan Zhichun heard this, he felt that there was something inside, and he quickly asked: " Brother Emperor, what did Tubo ask for?"
Gan Duo said quickly: "General, you misunderstood, it's not a request, it's a suggestion!" Duan Zhichun frowned and looked at the emperor, who saw the emperor frowning and looking embarrassed.
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
