The maid said anxiously: "After the court meeting, your Majesty returned to the back. Soon after, General Songhe, Elder Hami and several other ministers came. They said a lot of bad things about your Majesty, and asked you to take advantage of your Majesty while you were still in the city. Time to kill your lord!"
Qucuo said urgently to Songgan: "Sir, the situation is extremely critical. Let's go quickly!"
Song Qian asked the maid: "Your Majesty agrees?" The maid shook her head, "Not yet. But looking at His Majesty's appearance, I am already very excited! When I saw something was wrong, I secretly ran out of the palace to report to you!"
Songgan was very sad and murmured: "Your Majesty, does he not care about family ties at all?" Qucuo urged anxiously: "Sir, let's go!" Songgan nodded and said to Qucuo: "Yes. Don't prepare anything, let's set off immediately!" Qucuo agreed and ran down. Song Qian said to the maid: "Your identity must have been exposed, so don't go back to the palace. Come back to Pibo with me." The maid responded.
Soon after, more than a hundred guards escorted Songgan, Qucuo and several close servants and left the mansion on horseback and ran out of Luoxue City. When the sergeant guarding the gate saw that it was Song Qian and others, he did not stop them.
Soon after, the palace guard general Gan Luo led hundreds of royal cavalry to the city gate and shouted: "Have you seen Song Qian and others?" The gatekeeper said: "Not long ago, Lord Song Qian and General Qucuo led More than a hundred people left the city from here." Gan Luo said angrily: "No, they are trying to escape back to Pibao, hurry up and chase after me!" Then he led hundreds of his knights to rush out of the city gate and chased south. past.
Song Qian and others had only run for more than twenty miles when they heard the rumble of horse hooves behind them. Looking back, I was shocked to see hundreds of royal cavalry chasing after them, menacingly. It was obvious that they were coming with bad intentions. Songgan changed his color and said: "No! They are catching up!" More than a hundred people waved their whips desperately, but their mounts were not as good as the royal horses, and the distance between the two sides gradually became closer. Qu Cuo saw that he would definitely be overtaken if things continued like this, so he hurriedly said to Songgan: "Sir, my handsome man has stopped them. You should leave quickly!"
At this moment, everyone heard a sudden burst of chaotic shouting from behind. Everyone was surprised and quickly looked back. I saw that the originally aggressive pursuers turned upside down, and men in black from unknown places in the mountains and forests on both sides were shooting arrows at them! Everyone was very confused, but this was undoubtedly a good thing for them. They didn't think about it carefully at the moment, and they all waved their whips and ran wildly.
Gan Luo, leading hundreds of royal war cavalry, was about to catch up with Songgan and the others, but he didn't expect that dense rain of arrows suddenly shot out from the mountains and forests on both sides, and he was caught off guard and fell on his back, causing heavy casualties. Before he could react, he saw more than a hundred men in black rushing out of the mountains and forests on both sides wielding machetes, and rushed into the crowd of their own. The swords were dancing wildly, and blood and flesh were flying everywhere! Those men in black turned out to be more ferocious than expected. Although we had the numerical advantage, we were killed by those men in black until their bodies were covered with blood and we were terrified!
The royal troops fought for a while, unable to resist, and retreated in the direction of Luoche City.
The emperor, Song He, Hami and others were waiting for news about Gan Luo in the main hall, and everyone looked very anxious. Hami said angrily: "Song Qian left without saying goodbye, which is enough to show that he has something evil in his heart! All our judgments are correct!" Song He nodded with deep understanding and said: "That's right! If he escapes, There are really endless troubles!" The emperor was flustered and resentful, and he paced back and forth in the hall.
There were rapid footsteps outside the door. Everyone quickly looked towards the door and saw Gan Luo running in. Everyone couldn't help but feel happy, but then they couldn't help being shocked when they saw that he was covered in blood and looked miserable. The emperor asked anxiously: "What's the situation? How did you do this?"
Gan Luo saluted the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, that pine tree trunk is so cunning that it actually ambushed an ambush on the way back. We were about to catch up with them, but we were suddenly attacked by an ambush! Although our army fought hard, Outnumbered, the general finally fought his way out of the encirclement with great difficulty!" The men in black who ambushed Gan Luo clearly only numbered a hundred, but he said they had many enemies, which was naturally to shirk responsibility.
The emperor was shocked and angry, and shouted: "Why didn't I see his true face earlier!" Then he turned to Songhe and shouted: "Assemble the army immediately to conquer Songgan!" Songhe promised and ran down. The emperor then said to Elder Hami: "Elder Hami, you immediately draft an edict for me to punish thieves and spread it throughout the country!" Elder Hami also agreed and ran down.
The emperor looked out of the palace, his eyes wide open, as if he was about to spit out fire.
As soon as Songgan returned to Pibo, he received news that the emperor had declared himself a rebel and issued an edict against thieves. Songgan sighed, immediately calmed down, and summoned his cronies to discuss the matter. The behavior of all the generals was very consistent, and they were all very angry and wanted to fight to the death with the imperial court!
Songgan frowned and said, "It's really strange that the situation suddenly took a turn for the worse. I always feel like there's an invisible hand behind me pushing it!" He looked at Qucuo and said, "Do you remember what happened when we escaped? Those men in black suddenly appeared on the road?" Qucuo nodded, "Of course I remember. Who are those men in black? Why do they want to help us?"
Song Qiandao: "These questions are secondary. The most important question is, how could they be there?" Qucuo frowned and thought: "Based on the situation at that time, it seems that they had already been ambushing there! They It seems that they already knew that we were in danger, so they were already lying in wait there to rescue us!"
Songgan said in a deep voice: "Was waiting to rescue us really out of good intentions? I felt strange before that even if there were rumors in society, they shouldn't have spread so widely in such a short period of time. Now it seems It’s these men in black who are behind it!”
Everyone looked at each other and started talking quietly. Qucuo asked: "Then which party do these people belong to?"
Song Qian shook his head and said: "It's hard to judge now. It may be Tianzhu. Tianzhu has always coveted our Tubo and disrupted the situation in our Tubo, so they can take advantage of it; and the nobles in the north, they They least want to see the peace negotiation succeed, because most of the annual tribute has to fall on them."
Songgan frowned, "And Your Majesty! Alas, although I don't want to admit it, Qucuo is right. Your Majesty has long suspected me. He deliberately created these rumors to make me feel in danger and force me to Run away so that you can get rid of me justifiably!" Everyone was convinced, and they yelled and cursed the emperor and the group of nobles headed by Hami.
Qucuo said in confusion: "In that case, why did those men in black save us on the way? Isn't this contradictory?" Songgan also felt incomprehensible, thinking: "I can't understand this either. What do they mean by this?" A majestic man shouted: "We have already started a war with the emperor, so there is no point in thinking about it!" This man's name was Bianba, and he was the bravest general under Song Qian.
Song Qian raised his head and asked a calm general: "Qu Zha, what is the current situation of our army?" Qu Zha said: "We have 50,000 troops and sufficient food and grass. But I am afraid that we have to resist the emperor's army. It is very difficult. Although our Tubo suffered heavy losses in the previous war, the emperor was still able to mobilize 100,000 troops. In addition, the northern nobles headed by Hami will definitely support the emperor's crusade. If the slaves in their hands Once mobilized, there is no problem in adding another 100,000 troops."
Bian Ba shouted: "Good fellow, this is an army of 200,000! This battle can be won!"
Songgan frowned tightly, with a thoughtful look on his face. Qucuo said: "My lord, with our own strength I am afraid we cannot withstand the emperor's army. Should we ask for help from the Ming Dynasty?" Songgan slowly shook his head and said: "I can't ask for help from the Ming Dynasty! If I ask for help from the Ming Dynasty , the Ming army will surely take the opportunity to enter Tubo in large numbers! Even if we defeat the emperor, we Tubo will fall into the hands of the Ming Dynasty! The centuries-old foundation of Tubo will be cut off, and I will go underground to face my ancestors with a peaceful face!"
The generals looked at each other, but they all admired the Lord in their hearts. Songgan thought: "Although the enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered, we are not completely without a chance of victory! Our army is sitting in Pibojian City and has the Yarlung Zangbo River as a barrier. Although the enemy army is numerous, it is not easy to defeat our army. Things!" After a pause, "We will rely on the steep mountains and rivers to hold on and wear down the enemy's troops. When the two sides are fighting to an inextricable stalemate, I will send people to negotiate a peace with the emperor, and I think it will be successful." The generals can't think of anything better. method, bowed and said: "I will obey your orders!" Then Songgan issued the order to prepare for war. Soon after, the entire south of the Brahmaputra River took action. The army moved to various passes, and the people provided support for the army. Although the entire south was in turmoil, the soldiers and civilians did not complain and fully supported Songgan. This shows that Songgan is still very popular in his territory.
At the same time, the Tubo mission, which was about to leave the border of Tubo, suddenly received an urgent order from the Tibetan emperor, ordering them to immediately return to Luotian. The Tibetan envoy was Gan Duo. He was a Tibetan counselor and a member of the royal family. He had been on an envoy to the Ming Dynasty. When he heard the emperor's order, he was shocked and said hurriedly to the envoy: "We have reached an agreement with the Ming Dynasty, and now we suddenly withdraw the envoy, wouldn't it be reneging on our promise? The Ming Dynasty will definitely be furious, and there will be no change at that time. There is no room!" The envoy said: "I am only here to convey His Majesty's order. I don't know anything else and can't control it! Since you have received Your Majesty's order, please return to the capital as soon as possible!" Gando felt helpless and couldn't help himself. The ground sighed.
Since Gan Duo and his party received the emperor's imperial edict, although they felt that the emperor's decision was very inappropriate, they did not dare to violate the imperial edict and immediately turned around and returned to Luoshang. Along the way, I saw more troops and generals being added to each pass, and martial law was implemented. This was obviously to prepare for the Ming Dynasty's attack.
This afternoon, Yang Peng was discussing the situation in Tubo with Han Bing, Yelu Hanyu, and Yeqi Guanyin in the study. The sound of rapid footsteps came from the door. The four people stopped talking and looked towards the door. They saw a dusty herald running in. He took off the backpack on his back and took out a report in a red envelope. Kneel down on one knee, hold the report high with both hands, and report: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Tibet!"
Han Bing stood up, stepped forward, took the report, and prepared to forward it to Yang Peng. Yang Peng said: "Just read it."
Han Bing immediately opened the envelope, took out a letter, then opened the envelope again, took out the letter paper, unfolded it and read: "Your Majesty, the plan has been successful. The Tibetan Emperor has sent troops south to attack Songgan. A war has broken out between the two sides. The Emperor The army is blocked by the natural dangers of the Brahmaputra River and its offensive has been frustrated. The war is currently in a stalemate. Your Majesty, Yang Guihua, wishes you all the best."
Yang Peng smiled slightly. Yelu Hanyu said: "They are fighting hard, we can take the opportunity to march!" Yelu Guanyin said: "We have to wait a little longer." Han Bing said: "Guanyin is right, we should wait a little longer." Looking at Yang Peng , continued: "When both of them are exhausted and then march forward, they can easily capture Tubo!" Yang Peng smiled and nodded, and said to the messenger: "Order Yang Guihua to send someone to notify Fan immediately. Yong, ask him to reprimand the Tibetan side." The herald agreed and retreated.
As soon as the herald left, Jiang Li walked in, clasping her fists and saying, "Your Majesty, Princess Gesang of Tibet is outside asking for an audience."
Yang Peng said depressedly: "She's here again?" It turned out that Gesang had been coming to see Yang Peng these past few days, and Yang Peng was extremely annoyed by her. Han Bing said: "Brother, just meet her. I think she won't give up until she sees you!" Ye Qi Guanyin said angrily: "Brother, have you done anything to that princess? Otherwise, what will happen to her? Are you pestering you like this?" What Ye Di Guanyin said touched Yang Peng's mind. Yang Peng's heart skipped a beat and he quickly denied: "How can there be such a thing!" Ye Di Guanyin's face showed suspicion as he stared at Yang Peng. Cheek said: "Brother, you look very suspicious!"
Yang Peng glared at Ye Qi Guanyin angrily and said to Jiang Li, "Just bring her here." Jiang Li agreed and ran down. Soon after, he led Gesang, who was wearing a long Hanfu dress, to the study. I saw Gesang standing tall and graceful, looking like a Han beauty.
When Gesang saw Yang Peng, complicated emotions flashed in his eyes, and he bowed and said, "I have met Your Majesty!"
Yang Peng asked seriously: "Why do you want to see me?"
Gesang raised his head and blurted out: "Could it be that your Majesty doesn't know what I am doing?" Yang Peng was speechless, feeling apologetic in his heart. He went to Kelsang that day, but it was not his intention, and he regretted it very much afterwards. Therefore, from then on, she deliberately avoided Gesang and never saw her again. Seeing the two of them in such a situation, Han Bing and the other girls couldn't guess the hidden story behind them. They couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, helpless, and a little funny at the same time.
Yang Peng said calmly: "I was the one who was sorry for you that day! Although things were not what I wanted, but since the things have been done, I naturally cannot shirk the responsibility!"
Gesang looked at Yang Peng with an incomprehensible meaning in his eyes. He looked at the concubines around him and said, "I want to talk to you alone."
Ye Qi Guanyin stood up and said: "Sisters, let's go out and don't disturb the elder brother when talking about business!" He glared at Yang Peng fiercely. Yang Peng showed an apologetic look. The girls were originally jealous, but when they saw the apologetic look in their lover's eyes, their jealousy immediately disappeared, and they felt that it was not easy for their eldest brother.
The girls exited the imperial study, and only Yang Peng and Gesang were left in the imperial study.
Yang Peng sighed and said: "Although I still don't know what happened that day, I think it was most likely because you drugged the food and wine."
Gesang looked at Yang Peng and said calmly: "Since you know, why didn't you explain it to your wives just now?"
Yang Peng sighed, glanced at Gesang, and said, "If I say this, how will you behave in the future?"
Gesang's expression changed. He looked at Yang Peng with a very complicated look in his eyes. He asked angrily, "Why are you doing this?" Yang Peng chuckled and said, "It's nothing." He glanced at Gesang and sighed. , full of pity: "You are a woman, but you have shouldered too many responsibilities. This should not be borne by you! You are a poor person, and I don't want you to be hurt again!"
Gesang's eyes trembled, his teeth bit his red lips, and he looked emotionally excited, and suddenly shouted: "You are an idiot! Do you know, I sacrificed my appearance to get close to you, just to take the opportunity to kill you! You actually If you want to protect an assassin, you are the stupidest man in the world!" Yang Peng just looked at her, not looking angry at all. Gesang's angry expression collapsed instantly, and he fell to his knees and began to cry.
Yang Peng stepped forward and helped her up. Gesang stared at Yang Peng blankly, suddenly realized, pushed him away, and shouted hysterically: "You are our enemy of Tubo, don't touch me!"
Yang Peng said: "I think the purpose of your coming today is not to say this."
Gesang's heart suddenly trembled, and then he secretly blamed himself. Then he didn't understand why he suddenly lost control of his emotions and said those words?
Yang Peng said: "No matter what your purpose is, I don't want to hurt you. You go back. Don't think about those heavy burdens anymore! Those should not be your responsibilities! If a country depends on a woman's body to maintain If so, then he should also perish! If your compatriots rely on you to sacrifice your color to protect them, then there is no need for them to exist!"
Gesang stared at Yang Peng blankly, with a look of horror in his eyes, and couldn't help but said: "You are so scary! You are the most terrifying person in the world!" Yang Peng laughed and said, "I have heard this. I don’t know how many times I’ve passed it.”
Gesang suddenly showed a tender look and said, "You are also the most manly person in the world!" Yang Peng smiled and said, "I like this."
Gesang was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "Your Majesty is so proud that you will never give up on annexing Tubo! Your Majesty must have some deep intentions in accepting Tibet's request to annex Tubo!" Yang Peng said with a smile: "Don't worry about Tubo's affairs! Seeing the deep worry on Gesang's face, he couldn't help but said: "You just need to know that after Tubo merges with Ming Dynasty, the people's life will be better than now." Gesang frowned and looked at Yang Peng, and couldn't help but sigh. He took a breath and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It's funny that we still plan on you, but we don't want to fall into your trap already!" Then Yingying bowed down. Yang Peng frowned when he saw this.
Gesang pleaded: "I only hope that your majesty can forgive my father and allow him to live a lifetime of prosperity and wealth! I am willing to dedicate myself completely to your majesty!"
Yang Peng smiled bitterly.
Gesang raised his head, with a strange light radiating from his eyes, and said: "My current appearance is naturally not worthy of Your Majesty's attention." Then he stood up and turned his back to Yang Peng. Yang Peng only saw her tearing something off her face. When he saw her turning around, his eyes couldn't help but fall on her face. Yang Peng was stunned immediately, with a look of surprise in his eyes. Yang Peng is surrounded by stunning beauties. Yan Ji, Zhao Jinxi, Luo Yanran, Chai Yonghui and other women can be said to be the most beautiful women that have not been seen in a thousand years. It is such a person who has read all over the world, and at this moment he actually showed such stunning looks. look!
Don't blame Yang Peng for not having enough concentration, it's Gesang's true appearance that is so stunning. I don’t know how to describe her appearance. She seems to be the most holy and noble snowdrop on the ice. However, that smile makes her look like a fox demon glimpsed under the moonlit night. She is holy and charming at the same time. She is really charming. Seed, charming the common people. Although she is slightly less beautiful than Yan Ji and others, she has a charming temperament that is not found in other girls, and is extremely attractive. Although Zhao Jinxi, Yan Ji, etc. occasionally show charming temperament, they pale in comparison to this woman. This woman can be said to be a complete fairy, a scourge that charms the common people.
Gesang said in a hoarse voice: "Is this possible for His Majesty to see?" His voice trembled slightly, making people's blood boiling and passion surging.
Yang Peng came back to his senses, looked at Gesang with admiration, and said with a smile: "This is really beyond my expectation! I didn't expect that the princess actually had a big transformation. She looked like the reincarnation of Daji! "
Gesang walked up, leaned his body gently into Yang Peng's arms, raised his head, and said in an extremely seductive voice: "Accept my request, and I will hand over my whole body and soul to you!"
Yang Peng couldn't help but feel excited when he saw this stunning and enchanting woman in front of him, looking like she was ready to be picked by anyone. He couldn't help but stretched out his fingers to lift Gesang's chin, and praised: "You are so naturally beautiful, I feel pity for you!" Gesang smiled charmingly.
However, Yang Peng pushed her away gently, and Gesang was very surprised. Yang Peng smiled and said, "I have a wife. It's better for us to keep a distance." Gesang frowned and asked, "What do you mean?" Yang Peng said with a smile, "It means you should go back." Gesang's Her expression was uncertain, and it was obvious that Yang Peng's reaction was far beyond her expectations. She has absolute confidence in her beauty. She knows that even her father will be shaken when he sees her true appearance. It is impossible for other men to resist her charm, let alone that she can seduce her. However, this man in front of him could be so indifferent to his own appearance? ! Is he a man? ! Gesang couldn't help but feel annoyed.
Yang Peng said: "I can't give you any guarantee for your father's safety. His safety and well-being depend on his own choices. If he chooses the bright road, he will naturally be able to save his family and life, and he will be prosperous and wealthy for the rest of his life. But If he chooses a dead end, then he will bring trouble to himself, and no one can save him!"
Gesang was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his head, stared at Yang Peng, and said angrily: "Yang Peng, you ruthless man!" After saying this, he turned around angrily.
Yang Peng touched his chin and muttered: "Heartless? Oh, I'm afraid I'm too affectionate!"
There was a sound of footsteps at the door, and Han Bing and the girls came in. Ye Qi Guanyin couldn't help but exclaimed: "That woman is so beautiful, none of us can compare to her!"
Yang Peng laughed and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? You are much more beautiful than her!" Although the girls knew that what Yang Peng said was not true, they couldn't help but smile. There is no wife in the world who doesn't like her husband's praise, unless she has already stolen someone. .
Han Bing said angrily: "Brother, you are too heartless! Such a beautiful woman takes the initiative to throw herself into your arms, and others can't even ask for her, but you still push it away! You don't understand the style, you don't understand the style!" Ye Luhan Yu and Yeqi Guanyin nodded in agreement, both looking disdainful.
Yang Peng said angrily, "Okay, I'll go find her tonight and have a wild talk with her. Will you be happy?"
The three girls were very angry, and Ye Qi Guanyin said angrily: "You actually said you were going to steal someone in front of our sisters, we can't let you go!" After saying that, he rushed forward and grabbed Yang Peng's right arm. , shouted to the other girls: "Sisters, do it!" The girls immediately became excited and ran up together. Han Bing grabbed Yang Peng's left arm, Yelu Hanyu hugged Yang Peng's right leg, and Jiang Li grabbed Yang Peng's left leg. The four women worked hard together, and Yang Peng suddenly felt like he was flying into the sky. He couldn't help shouting: "You crazy women are going to murder your husband!"
The women were extremely excited and ignored Yang Peng's shouts. They carried Yang Peng behind the screen and threw him on the bed. Then they rushed forward one by one and pressed Yang Peng underneath. Yang Peng was pressed down by the warm and fragrant bodies of four women. It was really painful and happy. Unwilling to be in a passive position, Chen Xiao began to fight back, grabbing here and pinching there, and for a while he was squealing and singing, and the scenery was so beautiful.
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
