Chapter 374: Entering the Southern Yan Kingdom
All the clues couldn't be put together, what was missing, and what else she hadn't expected!
Peng Mo twisted his hands and walked in the narrow room, a pair of beautiful eyebrows tightly twisted together.
Si Yue and the others didn't dare to disturb it.
"Tuk Tuk Tuk".
Si Yue glanced at the secret guard who was close to the door, the secret guard nodded, and quietly opened the door a thin slit, and only after seeing that it was his own person, did he completely open the door.
It turned out that the secret guard who was sent to check the Wei River came back, and he bowed his hand and said: "Princess, the starting point of the Wei River is a perennial snow-capped mountain in the territory of Nanyan Kingdom, and there is no end, and the river finally flows into the Xishuang River in Dayong. ”
Nanyan Snow Mountain, Dayong West Shuangjiang... Peng Mo's expression became strange, and the brilliance in his eyes was amazing: "That means that this river connects Dayong and Nanyan?"
The Dark Guard nodded, "That's right!"
Peng Mo laughed, as if he suddenly wanted to sneer: "Is there a ship on this river on weekdays?"
"Before the war between the two countries, there were, since the war between the two countries, this river has been closely guarded, no one is allowed to operate privately, even the official ships must have the approval of the government. ”
The water eyes narrowed slightly, the eyes were shining, deep and cold, like a tiger and leopard attacking, and asked with a smile: "Approval?
The Dark Guard nodded. "Yes. ”
Liuying listened and said, "Why is this Yang Yan again!"
Si Yue saw the coldness in Peng Mo's eyes, and stepped forward and said, "What is the master suspicious!"
With a guess in his heart, Peng Mo's expression relaxed a little, and said with a smile: "It's too coincidental to look at this place of incident!"
Moreover, Yang Yan, the jiedu envoy who is in charge of Weihe, has a very deep political feud with his second brother!
If her guess is correct, then this group of "unknown people" who appeared quietly and disappeared quietly will have an explanation!
After Si Yue heard this, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she clapped her hands and said, "Yes, it's too coincidental! ”
Liuying looked at the two of them as they spoke, and wondered, "What is too coincidental? Why don't I understand!"
Not only the dead fireflies, but the rest of the dark guards are also confused, not understanding what kind of coincidence a river can have?
Peng Mo looked at Liuying, smiled and said nothing.
Si Yue also laughed, and after laughing, he looked at Zhang Ze and said, "You go and check Yang Yan's daily life in the last month, and don't let go of anything suspicious." ”
Zhang Ze had followed Jin Xiuchen to Nanyan Kingdom, and he also knew a little about this realm, and he was also the one who survived the palace attack that killed him, and his courage and ability were beyond doubt.
Zhang Ze didn't have any objections, nodded and left.
They took over the entire second floor, Si Yue saw that it was not early, ordered two people to guard the door, and the rest went to eat, and then seized the time to take turns to rest.
I thought I would stay here for two days, but now it seems that I am afraid that I will leave tomorrow.
Peng Mo simply ate his meal and sat alone in a chair in a daze.
The third brother encountered an ambush near the border pass, but the second brother had no news at all, was the war tight, and he couldn't take care of it? Or did he not know that this incident had happened at all? Can Yang Yan single-handedly cut off the news of the second brother?
Si Yue ate, replaced Liuying, held a cup of hot tea and put it in Peng Mo's hand, and said, "Princess, does the Peng family have a conflict with Yang Yan?"
Peng Mo glanced at Si Yue appreciatively, compared to Liuying, her mind was more flexible and keen.
took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "You are clever, you can guess it in a few words." ”
Si Yue smiled, waiting for Peng Mo's remaining words.
It turned out that when Peng Shuo was not dispatched, the soldiers guarding the city at the boundary of this place were all Yang Yan's people.
At that time, there were very few main soldiers sent by the capital, and most of them were soldiers recruited by Yang Yan privately.
Because Yang Yan controlled their rewards and punishments for life and death, these soldiers were extremely dependent on and fearful of Yang Yan.
So much so that there is a saying in the sub-earthly realm: "I only know the grace and power of its generals, but I don't know that there is a son of heaven."
Think about it, how did the emperor in Kyoto feel when he heard this? Anger and worry were not only there?
The emperor was afraid that Yang Yan would unite with Nanyan and do something to sell the country for glory, so he quickly sent Peng Shuo and Peng Jiajun to take over the civil power of the military power of the city in one fell swoop.
How could a person who was accustomed to power suddenly appear above him a person above him?
But the emperor's order is the emperor's order, and Yang Yan had to hand over the ownership of Tongcheng to Peng Shuo.
And the grudge between Peng Shuo and Yang Yan was formed at this moment.
In order to maintain a balance, the emperor finally handed over the civil affairs of Tongcheng to Yang Yan, and the military power was still in the hands of Peng Shuo.
Si Yue frowned when he heard this: "Why didn't the emperor punish Yang Yan for this wolf's ambition, and continue to let him be a festival envoy!"
The corners of Peng Mo's lips were raised, and the red lips outlined an extremely beautiful arc, but the bottom of his eyes was clear, without the slightest smile: "Because the emperor is worried that the second brother will become another Yang Yan." "So with the second brother here, Yang Yan must stay in Tongcheng.
Si Yue understood the emperor's intentions and sneered: "Let them contain each other, restrain each other, and supervise each other." ”
Peng Mo nodded, this is what the emperor meant.
"Then the princess suspects that Yang Yanli should cooperate with the outside world and calculate the third young master?" Because of Jin Xiuchen's suppression and assassination, Si Yue had no good impression of the emperor, and at this time, he even thought that he was a person who played tricks.
Peng Mo frowned and sighed, "Judging from the current clues, this possibility is extremely high. "If it was really Yang Yan's doing, then there would be an explanation for the deception.
He didn't hide it because Jin Xiuchen was there, and he couldn't hide this matter, so it was better to report it early to get an impression of reporting it in time.
And to hide it, it is afraid that the local people will say something, which is also the reason why Yang Yan sealed Lao Zhao.
I'm afraid that the military department that came to look for people is now being warmly entertained by Yang Yan.
Si Yue was shocked when she heard this: "If that's the case, then the third young master is now..." ”
Peng Mo's expression was also solemn: "That's right, it's very likely to be in Nanyan Kingdom!"
Now she only needs to wait for the results of Zhang Ze's investigation to determine the guess in her heart.
Zhang Ze came back at noon the next day, and the results he found were the same as Peng Mo thought, and he also found a strange thing, thinking about what Si Yue said: Don't let go of anything suspicious. After thinking for a while, he said, "Princess, there is one more thing, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." ”
"What's the matter, you say. ”
"It's Yang Yan's backyard business. Zhang Ze said: "Originally, Yang Yan admired an Oiran in the Yanliu Land of Tongcheng, but the Oiran was held above the top, and he couldn't look down on Yang Yan's pot-bellied appearance. ”
"Oiran?" Si Yue was a little funny, this Zhang Ze is really real, let him check, and he will check everything.
Peng Mo's face changed, and he sneered: "It turns out that she also played a role!"
Lihime!
Liuying asked curiously, "Who did the master say?"
Peng Mo didn't answer, and looked at a few people: "Tell me to go down, let's take a detour tomorrow and go to Nanyan Kingdom!"
Liuying glanced at Si Yue and said worriedly: "Master, do you want to wait for the follow-up secret guards to arrive before acting?"
Because the secret guards dispatched with great momentum, it was inevitable that they would attract attention, so they went out of Beijing in batches, and now there are only a dozen of them, and it is okay to deal with the daily bandits and rogues, but if they go deep into the Nanyan Kingdom, it will be overstretched!
Peng Mo shook his head: "Can't wait!"
If you wait one more day, the third brother will be in more danger, and Qi Mu has not been able to send back the news on the tenth day, which shows that their situation is not optimistic.
Peng Mo got up as he spoke, quickly wrote a letter, handed it to the remaining secret guard, and said, "Five days later, if I don't send back the news, you will give this letter to my second brother." ”
The remaining guard took the letter and nodded.
Si Yue saw that Peng Mo had made up his mind, so he hurriedly went out and left a secret message for the secret guards who had not yet arrived, but they came here and couldn't find their whereabouts.
In the evening, Liuying packed her luggage and looked at Peng Mo's expression of desire to speak.
Peng Mo was amused, and said, "Let's go to Nanyan Kingdom just to visit, if there is danger, I won't act." ”
Royataru was satisfied.
When he was about to sleep, there was a knock on the door, and Si Yue frowned: "Who?"
"Si Yue, has the princess slept? Qi Mu's news has returned!"
"Let them in. When Peng Mo heard this, a spirit got up, and she didn't care about dressing, so Liuying hurriedly pulled the screen to block her.
The remaining guard walked in with his head down, bowing his head and handing out the letter in his hand.
Si Yue took it, bypassed the screen and handed it to Peng Mo.
Peng Mo hurriedly tore it open, and his eyes were covered with messy handwriting, and he could see that their situation was not optimistic, and he read the letter in ten lines at a glance.
She was both delighted and surprised.
The good news is that the third brother and Qi Xin Wang Lu and others are really in Nanyan, and her trip is not in vain.
Shockingly, they were imprisoned in the prison!
Qi Mu and the others have tried to rescue them dozens of times, but they still haven't been able to do so.
Without further hesitation, early the next morning, they went to Nanyan Kingdom.
Yingxian is close to the border pass and not far from Nanyan, but they can't enter through the city gate, so Zhang Ze took them through the secret road.
"Before we left Beijing last time, His Highness sent a team of people to Nanyan Kingdom first and opened up this secret passage, and it was from here when we fled. In the dark secret passage, Zhang Ze walked in front with a torch, talking as he walked.
Peng Mo was protected in the middle of the team, surrounded by Liu Ying and Si Yue, listening to Zhang Ze's words, Jin Xiuchen's appearance appeared in his mind again, and his eyelashes were not wet.
After entering the city, the goal was too big, so they scattered and walked, and finally found two inns that were open to face each other on a street very close to the secret passage.
Liuying opened the window, looked at the people walking below, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, Nanyanguo's clothes are no different from ours." ”
Si Yue heard that she had just wanted to reply, and she saw Peng Mo sitting alone, her eyes full of worry, and she thought about it and stepped forward and said, "Zhang Ze has already gone to find Qi Mu, the princess is patient and waiting." ”
"I heard that King Wu is also imprisoned in the heavenly prison?" Peng Mo still remembered the news that came back to Kyoto at that time.
"That's right, but after all this time, I don't know if there has been a change of prison... Si Yue said: "Go down and inquire, the princess waits." ”
Peng Mo nodded.
Yang Yan must have made a deal with the king of Nanyan, that is, the king of Zhuang, otherwise the third brother would not have been imprisoned in the heavenly prison.
The prison is heavily guarded, and the guards guarding it are all elite guards, and they are undoubtedly seeking death by breaking into the prison.
But she didn't come to seek death, she wanted King Zhuang to die!
Therefore, it is time for this martial king to come out of the heavenly prison!
