Master Saga asked curiously: "You just said a duel. Do Han people actually like such activities?"
Saga Xiyou nodded, "I don't just like it, I should like it very much. According to my understanding, in the Ming Dynasty, there were not only many dueling grounds like that in Bianliang, but also all over the country. That is what they like to participate in most. activity."
Master Saga frowned and said: "From what you said, the warriors in the duel are all very awe-inspiring! They should be almost as good as the so-called Ming Dynasty warriors, right?"
Saga Xiyou was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head: "How can this be compared? The mighty generals of the Ming Dynasty are the pride and symbol of the Ming Dynasty, just like an insurmountable mountain in the sky! Those duelists and the mighty generals of the Ming Dynasty are simply the same The gap is too big, too big!" Master Saga opened his eyes wide in shock and was speechless. The duelists that Nozomi Saga had just described had horrified him, but Nozomi Saga actually said that the mighty Ming Dynasty was far superior to those duelists, which made Master Saga almost unimaginable.
Saga Nozomi turned to her maid and said, "Bring the atlas." The maid responded and went down. After a while, she came back with an atlas and presented it to Saga Nozomi. Saga Nozomi signaled her to hand it over to her father, and the maid immediately turned around and presented it to Lord Saga.
Master Saga took the atlas with curiosity and felt it was very heavy. He looked at the cover and saw on the cover an image of a warrior with a heavy armor and a portable horse riding a horse and a dragon. Although his appearance was The description is very simple, but the fierce and domineering force is coming; on the right edge of the cover are written six large characters: "Atlas of the Ming Dynasty Heroes".
Master Saga's heart moved, and he quickly opened the atlas. What caught his eye on the first page was the image of the warrior on the cover. However, this picture was much clearer than the picture on the cover. It was obviously made by a famous artist. , both humans and horses, are all vivid and vivid on the paper, and the bloodthirsty domineering force makes people feel terrified. I saw dozens of small words written next to the picture: The True Dragon of the Ming Dynasty, rising up in the sixteen states of Yanyun, conquering the world without any resistance, sweeping thousands of armies, bloody mountains and rivers, the leader of the heroes of the Ming Dynasty, the most powerful general in the world!
Master Saga exclaimed in shock: "This, is this the Ming Emperor?"
Saga Xiyou showed an expression of great admiration and said: "It is the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty! The leader of the heroes of the Ming Dynasty and the most powerful general in the world!"
Master Saga continued to look through the pages with curiosity and excitement, and saw behind him Shi Liancheng, Liu Zhiliang, Yang Yanzhao, Zhan Jinguo and other famous generals who were famous all over the world. However, there were more that he had never heard of. of. The image of each warrior is different, which makes people feel that they all have different personalities. However, every warrior has a common characteristic, that is, toughness; each warrior is paired with a poem to briefly describe it. The life and characteristics of that warrior. Master Saga kept flipping through this atlas, and his awe for the Ming Dynasty became more and more intense. He felt that the Ming Dynasty was indeed an invincible myth.
Master Saga closed the atlas, took a deep breath with his eyes closed, opened his eyes, showing an expression of infinite awe, and couldn't help but sigh: "The Ming Dynasty is really awe-inspiring! Now I finally know why the Japanese country has dozens of Tens of thousands of troops could not withstand the Ming Dynasty's tens of thousands of elites, and almost the entire army was wiped out! I used to think that this kind of thing was too unbelievable, but now I think it is natural! The power of the Ming Dynasty is so tyrannical, and the Japanese country does not overestimate their ability to compete with the Ming Dynasty Confrontation is, of course, just blocking the car and seeking death!"
Saga Xiyou smiled and said: "Father, we are now the people of the Ming Dynasty, so we should feel honored!" Master Saga nodded with deep sympathy, with an excited look in his eyes.
His eyes turned back to Bianliang.
That afternoon, Yang Peng came to Yang Erya's sister-in-law Wu's residence to visit her. Wu had not seen Yang Peng for a long time. When he saw him, he was filled with resentment and could not help himself. He immediately served Yang Peng with all his heart and soul. The two went to Wushan together through thick and thin. The passion of Jiu Kuang's resentful woman was ten thousand times more intense than the volcano, almost completely melting Yang Peng. …
The passion is over and everything calms down. Wu was lying on Yang Peng's body, which had completely turned into a pool of spring water, and all the bones in his body seemed to have disappeared. He was tender and charming. Wu Shi glanced at Yang Peng resentfully, "Have you forgotten about me? Why haven't you come to see me for so long?"
Yang Peng stroked her smooth skin and said with a smile: "I am really too busy during this period! How could I forget you? Even if the world is gone, I will keep you in my heart!" Wu couldn't help but feel emotional. The earth began to move on Yang Peng's body again, and the result of such recklessness was that he was so exhausted after it was over that he couldn't even move a finger. Yang Peng hugged Wu Shi and spoke touching words of love. Wu Shi's heart was filled with water, and she just wanted to melt all of herself into Yang Peng's body. …
In the evening, Yang Peng left Wu's courtyard and prepared to return to the palace.
At this moment, an old man suddenly came out and stood in front of Yang Peng. The guard was shocked and immediately stepped forward. One kicked him in the abdomen, and the other punched him in the face. The old man screamed and fell to the ground, crying out in pain.
Yang Peng said angrily: "Let's see how he is doing?"
Two guards immediately stepped forward and helped the old man up. The old man stretched out his right hand towards Yang Peng and stammered: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Yang Peng was a little surprised to see that he actually recognized her. Then he found that although the old man's nose was crooked and his face was covered with blood stains, he looked familiar. Suddenly I remembered, isn't this the old man from the Sima family? Seeing him being beaten like this by the guards, I couldn't help but feel funny.
He walked up to Mr. Sima and said angrily: "Now that you know my identity, you rush over here rashly! Don't you know this is dangerous?"
"Caomin, Caomin has something to say to Your Majesty." Mr. Sima looked pleading.
Yang Peng smiled and nodded, "Okay. Since I bumped into you at this time, come back to the palace with me to have dinner." Mr. Sima was greatly surprised, looking like he couldn't believe it. After coming back to his senses, he hurriedly bowed: "Thank you for your grace! Thank you for your grace!" Yang Peng walked towards the palace, followed closely by the guards, and Mr. Sima was carried among the people.
The third master of the Sima family was worried about his father. Seeing that it was getting late, he went out to look for his father. At this time, the third master happened to arrive not far away and saw his father being carried away from a distance. Shocked, I wanted to rush over to argue. At this moment, he heard others talking: "That old man is so funny, he actually went to attack His Majesty!..." When the third master heard this, he felt a bang in his head, and his face turned pale instantly. When he came back to his senses, his eyes showed a look of bewilderment, and then he quickly turned around and ran towards home. Soon after, the entire Sima family was jumping up and down, as if they were all going their separate ways to escape. …
In the evening, Mr. Sima returned home with a face full of joy, only to see that the house was dark, not even a ghost was there, the ground was in a mess, tables and chairs were scattered everywhere, as if they had been robbed.
Mr. Sima couldn't help being dumbfounded. When he came to his senses, he shouted, "What's going on? Where have all the people gone?"
"Grandpa, you, you..." the granddaughter's voice suddenly came from one side. Mr. Sima quickly followed the sound and saw his granddaughter leading her personal maid standing not far away, looking at him in fear.
Mr. Sima couldn't help but feel happy and hurriedly ran forward. Miss Sima and her maidservant screamed in fright and took a step back, their faces as pale as if they had seen a ghost.
Mr. Sima asked anxiously: "What happened here?"
Miss Sima stammered and asked in fear: "Grandpa, are you a human or a ghost?"
Mr. Sima was stunned and shouted angrily: "You kid, what are you talking about?"
Miss Sima swallowed, and then she saw a shadow trailing behind her grandfather. She thought of a saying that people have shadows, but ghosts have no shadows. When she saw a shadow behind her grandfather, she couldn't help but feel... I felt that grandpa should be a human being, so I asked: "Grandpa, you, are you not dead?"
Mr. Sima said angrily: "What happened today? The family has become like this, and you are talking nonsense! Is grandpa not a human or something?"
Miss Sima composed herself, and then cried: "We, we all thought that grandpa was captured by His Majesty and a disaster was imminent!"
Mr. Sima was stunned for a moment, and he probably understood something. Looking at the messy scene around him, he said angrily: "Is it possible that everyone ran away?"
Miss Sima nodded, "The third uncle came back and said that grandpa had collided with His Majesty and was captured by His Majesty's guards. Everyone immediately panicked and everyone ran for their lives like crazy." Mr. Sima cursed angrily: "Asshole! Bastard! The third child is such a bastard!" Then he looked at his granddaughter and asked in confusion: "Granddaughter, why don't you run away?" Miss Sima sobbed: "I, I don't know what to do, I want to stay here and wait. Grandpa!" Mr. Sima was greatly moved and sighed: "My precious granddaughter is still kind to me!" Then he cursed angrily: "Everyone else is a bastard! Damn it, I originally planned to share the property. It’s for the third child, don’t think about it now, I’ll give this share to my precious granddaughter, and you, father and son, will have two shares to yourself!”
Miss Sima asked curiously: "Grandpa, did you really hit His Majesty?"
Mr. Sima chuckled and said: "How could you? How dare I bump into His Majesty! That was a misunderstanding!" Then he said excitedly: "But this misunderstanding is good! Otherwise, your grandfather and I will not have such an honor! You know Well, your majesty took me back to the palace. Grandpa, your majesty and I had dinner with all the noble concubines, princes and princesses!" Mr. Sima looked intoxicated and excited.
Miss Sima felt unbelievable after hearing her grandfather's words. She thought this was so unbelievable that her eyes widened.
Mr. Sima continued: "I saw Empress Yeli, ah! Empress Yeli in women's clothing is so beautiful!" Miss Sima's heart moved, and there was a melancholy look in her eyes.
Mr. Sima was in high spirits and gushed: "Actually, all of you are extremely beautiful, just like goddesses and fairies in the sky. Your Majesty is not that scary, in fact, he is very approachable! For a commoner like me, Your Majesty has no Have some airs! There have been so many emperors throughout the ages, and His Majesty must be the best! Alas, it’s a pity that all the empresses are as beautiful as heavenly beings. Although you, granddaughter, are also very beautiful, you are far behind compared with the empresses. Otherwise, grandpa must have I’m proposing to your Majesty! By the way, I told your Majesty about your granddaughter’s marriage. Your Majesty said that you can talk to the unmarried generals and ask them to meet your granddaughter to see who is destined to be your granddaughter! Haha, grandpa I have always dreamed of something, but I didn’t expect it to be so easy and successful, it’s just like a dream!”
Miss Sima's face turned red and she said, "Grandpa, I don't want to meet those people!"
Mr. Sima showed a puzzled look and said, "Why is this? To get a Ming Dynasty warrior as a husband is what all women dream of!"
Miss Sima blushed, looked strangely, and said nothing.
Master Sima suddenly felt something in his heart and asked in surprise: "Could it be that you, granddaughter, are you still treating Empress Yeyi..."
Miss Sima's pretty face turned even redder, and her eyes revealed a shy look.
Mr. Sima said anxiously: "Empress Yeqi is a woman, you already know, why, how can you still..." Miss Sima lowered her head and sobbed: "I, I don't know why this is happening. I, I just feel in my heart I can't let him go and think of him all the time. Whenever I think of him, I feel so happy!"
Mr. Sima was shocked and said: "Granddaughter, you must not indulge in this, this is wrong!" Miss Sima did not speak, but then said: "Grandpa, now is not the time to talk about this matter, you should hurry up Let the news out and call everyone back. If the rumors continue to spread, the entire Sima family will collapse!" Mr. Sima frowned and nodded. …
As the days passed, some jokes happened in Bianliang every day, which became the topic of conversation in taverns and tea shops. Yang Peng, on the other hand, felt a little bored. He listened to reports step by step every day and held meetings with cabinet members. Yang Peng only felt very happy when he got along with his wife and children. By the way, I would like to mention one thing here. Although Chai Yonghui's cousin, Concubine Mu, has officially become Yang Peng's wife, the two of them have not officially married yet. The reason is that Concubine Mu is too shy. This matter often makes Yang Peng feel depressed, but there is nothing that can be done.
Unknowingly, autumn turns to winter, winter turns to spring, and the spring of the year comes again.
Outside the distant foreign city of Rome, there were military camps and countless troops gathered here. Looking from a distance, it looks like there are many satellite cities around Rome, with banners flying, trumpets sounding, and huge noises coming from various military camps from time to time. These are the cheers given by the soldiers watching the wrestling competition. Voice.
On a high mountain not far away, several Han Chinese in Roman costumes stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the military camp in the distance. The leader is a shrewd middle-aged man, and the few beside him are capable young people.
The middle-aged man looked at the military camp in the distance, frowning tightly. A young man next to him pointed at a military camp that was being built and introduced: "That's where the newly arrived English army is stationed. According to intelligence, there are 20,000 knights and troops from the English army."
Another young man said: "There are only 20,000 troops, which is much less than the close armies of other countries!"
The young man who spoke before said: "Although the army only has 20,000 people, they have brought a powerful fleet! I heard that the English have the most powerful fleet in the world!"
Another young man sneered and said mockingly: "Could their fleet be more powerful than our fleet?"
The young man who introduced the intelligence said: "The specific situation is not clear. England is an island country in the far west. We have not yet had spies enter there, and our understanding of that country is very limited." Another young man asked the middle-aged man: "Boss , do you want to report the current situation?"
The middle-aged man said: "Of course we must report it! It is now certain that more than 200,000 Catholic troops have gathered here. This matter cannot be ignored and must be reported immediately!" "Yes!"
Several people returned to the secret stronghold in the city. As soon as he entered the door, a young man hurried up and said urgently: "Boss, it's bad, the Pope has issued a total blockade order, and now all merchant ships and caravans cannot leave!"
The middle-aged man frowned, "They can block the news and want to achieve the effect of a surprise attack! We must find a way to send the news back home!"
A young man asked in confusion: "Since the other side wants to block the news, why not just arrest all the Han people? Wouldn't the effect of this blockade be better?" The middle-aged man shook his head and said: "The locals are very concerned about trade. Very seriously, they must be worried about arresting Han merchants and making other merchants afraid, and also worried about having too much impact on the trade with our east, so they did not take too drastic measures." Then he frowned and said: "How to spread the news? Going out?"
A subordinate said: "Boss, why not organize a few of our sea ships and rush out by force? We will definitely succeed!" Several people immediately agreed.
The middle-aged man shook his head and said: "This won't work. If this happens, all our identities will be exposed. Not only will this stronghold be unable to be saved, but all the hard-earned achievements during this period will be in vain! We must not do this unless we have to. Do it!”
A subordinate said: "Boss, we have always thought that this time the Catholic countries gathered their troops to attack us. However, the distance between the two sides is so far, and such an expedition is really a crazier adventure than gambling. The Catholic countries Are you really going to do this?" Everyone looked at each other, and one person said angrily: "The other side's troops are already gathering, is it still fake?"
The man said: "I mean, are they deliberately promoting it like this? In fact, the real purpose is not to target us, but to target Xiliao or other targets?"
The middle-aged man thought with a thought: "This possibility cannot be ruled out!" Then he said to everyone: "With our current conditions, it is impossible to obtain practical information, so no matter what, we must pass on the information we have learned so far. Pass it back." Everyone nodded.
The Jinyiwei intelligence officers of the Ming Dynasty suspected that Western Catholic countries were playing a trick of trying to attack the west. Emperor Yelu Longqing of the Western Liao Dynasty could not help but have this idea. He also believed that the Catholic countries in the West were separated from the Ming Dynasty by thousands of mountains and rivers, and there were no roads at all. To go to the Ming Dynasty, you could only pass through your own territory. Yelu Longqing suspected that the Catholic countries would soon make a request to use the road. In fact, it was just The conspiracy of 'false Taoist attack on Guo'. Yelu Longqing had already made a plan to deal with this. He was going to wait for the other party's envoy to make this request, and then pretend to agree. In fact, he deployed his army in a dangerous place, and only waited for the enemy to enter the encirclement, and then wiped out the enemy in one fell swoop. Yelu Longqing has secretly arrived in the Western Territory, and elites from all walks of life are also secretly mobilizing.
The Liao Kingdom in the north also took similar actions. Neither the Liao Kingdom nor Xiliao believed in those Catholic countries, and they were both ready to use their tactics to eliminate the enemy in one fell swoop.
Night has fallen, and the night in Rome is also very beautiful. Compared with Bianliang, it has a charming flavor.
However, the spies of the Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei in Rome were not in the mood to appreciate it at all. They were all thinking of ways to send the information they had learned so far back home.
At this moment, a young man suddenly rushed into the middle-aged man's room and said urgently: "Boss, you should see these!" The middle-aged man knew what must have happened and rushed out. A group of people hurried up to the roof platform and looked towards the sea in the distance under the guidance of a person. I saw lights dotted on the sea, as bright as stars. It was obviously a scene created by countless ships. Rome does not have a seaport. The place where these spies are now is not in the city of Rome, but on the seaside port southwest of Rome. This area is collectively called Rome, so this Rome is not the same as the city of Rome.
The middle-aged man opened his eyes wide and said in shock: "This, this is...?"
The young man said: "It's England's main fleet! It's very large!" The middle-aged man frowned and shook his head: "We were wrong, we were all wrong! England's fleet is indeed very powerful, much more powerful than we imagined!"
At this moment, a young man ran up and said urgently: "Boss, I just received a report from the eyeliner. One day ago, the forward fleet of the English fleet had left the port and headed southeast! Strangely, at the same time, There are also many English merchant ships leaving!"
Everyone couldn't help but start talking. The middle-aged man said flatly: "There can be no further delay!" Then he said to everyone: "Go and rob an English merchant's merchant ship immediately. We will rush out of the port tonight!" Everyone immediately became excited and agreed in unison.
Unconsciously, it reached midnight, and the originally silent port suddenly became noisy. The port governor received a report from a naked English merchant that a group of Han Chinese had robbed their merchant ship and ran away! The governor immediately called in the water patrol to inquire and learned that an English merchant ship had indeed left the port not long ago. The governor felt that something was unusual and rushed to Rome immediately to prepare to report to the Pope.
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
