Yang Peng laughed and said, "Isn't that an old cow eating tender grass?" Wu Shi pursed his lips and smiled, his beautiful eyes flowing, "Your Highness is not old!" ”

A maid hurried in and reported, "Madam, Miss is gone!" Wu Shi was stunned, "Gone?" Then he reacted, "Did she go to Zhending Mansion?" The maid nodded. Wu Shi said angrily: "Really, I didn't say goodbye!" Hurriedly stood up, "The slave family is going to chase her back!" Yang Peng hurriedly dragged her back to her seat and said with a smile: "A seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, suddenly encountered this kind of thing, she is ashamed to death, you better let her be calm and calm alone!" Wu Shi glanced at Yang Peng, "Your Highness is not in a hurry, the slave family naturally won't meddle with rats!" Then he said to the maid, "Go out, and do not come in unless you are called." The maid answered and withdrew.

Wu stood up, poured a glass of wine for Yang Pengman, poured a glass of wine for himself, put down the wine jug, held the wine glass with slender jade fingers, looked at Yang Peng with beautiful eyes, and opened his red lips lightly: "Your Highness, the slave family toasts you!" Yang Peng picked up the wine glass with a smile, tilted his head and dried it, everyone is drunk if the wine is not drunk.

Yang Erya walked out of the city gate under the escort of the guards, her cheeks were still feverish, her heart was beating non-stop, when she thought of the scene just now, sweet joy couldn't help but come to her heart, but it made her ashamed and embarrassed, some longing to see Yang Peng in her heart, and some afraid to see him, her heart was rippling, and her shame lingered, it was really messy!

He shook his head vigorously, forcing himself not to think about it. Raising his head to look into the distance, he shifted his thoughts to the current general trend of the world. I can't help but think: I am his general, and I must sweep the world for him on the battlefield! At this thought, her eyes showed a determined expression.

Yang Peng left Wufu, and seeing that it was still early, he went out of the city to the Loyal Soul Hall outside the city. The Hall of Loyal Souls is located on the top of a high mountain, shining brightly under the scorching sun, and it is extremely brilliant, and there is really a kind of overwhelming momentum that is difficult to breathe! When a person stands in front of him, a feeling of piety rises in his heart, and he can't help but want to worship at his feet.

Wang Laozhi walked out quickly, and saw Yang Peng offering incense to the fallen martyrs, so he stood aside and waited. After Yang Peng finished worshipping three times, he immediately stepped forward and respectfully bowed: "My subordinates meet Your Highness." ”

Yang Peng smiled: "No need to be polite. ”

Wang Laozhi asked: "Your Highness, please come to the back meditation room to speak." Yang Peng left the guards, and he followed Wang Laozhi to leave through the back door and went to the back meditation room. Yang Peng looked around, the meditation room was very simple, and the big Zen character hanging on the wall facing the gate was particularly eye-catching. Yang Peng couldn't help laughing: "You look like an old monk's place?" Wang Laozhi smiled, and then paid homage with the etiquette of Mingjiao: "Subordinate light right envoy, meet the sect leader!" ”

Yang Peng said angrily: "Okay, okay, don't bow at every turn!" I'm dizzy! Wang Laozhi stood up with a smile. Yang Peng sat down at the square table, "I don't have anything to do today, so I'll come to you to take a look." You're pretty good here! Wang Laozhi smiled: "This is indeed a feng shui holy place!" ”

Yang Peng thought of the conversation he had with this Wang Laozhi when he met for the first time, and asked curiously: "The fate of people and the general trend of the world can really be calculated?" Wang Laozhi smiled: "History is like a river, the upstream is what has not happened, and the downstream is what has happened or is happening." What happened upstream, the downstream can actually get a glimpse of some clues, and this clue is the basis for peeking into the future. ”

Yang Peng smiled and asked, "Then have you seen anything recently?" Wang Laozhi shook his head and frowned: "The future is becoming more and more ambiguous!" I don't understand it either! Suddenly, the two-winged flying tiger battle flag covered the sky, and suddenly the Liao State swept the whole world, and in this impermanent change, the wolf's head battle flag and an extremely murderous army often appeared to wash the earth in blood. I think that the next few hundred years should be dominated by the Yan Yun Army, the Liao State, and that mysterious force! ”

Yang Peng touched his chin and muttered, "Wolf head battle flag? Who could it be? Wang Laozhi shook his head, "The subordinates don't know. Yang Peng put down this matter for the time being, stood up, and said with a smile: "Let's go out for a walk." Wang Laozhi bowed and promised. The two left the meditation room and walked along the bluestone path to the back mountain. Along the way, the birds are singing, the shade of the trees is quiet, the sunlight is no longer dazzling, only a little spot of light is sprinkled on the bluestone slab, it feels as if it is far away from the world, and is in the blessed land of the cave, which makes people can't help but have a yearning to ride the wind.

The two walked into a gazebo on the side of the road. Yang Peng overlooked the bottom of the mountain, and the huge Yanjing City was in full view, feeling like an extremely exquisite sand table. Yang Peng turned his head and smiled: "You are good here, I can't help but want to become a monk!" ”

Wang Laozhi said with a smile: "The sect leader is the world, and he is looked up to by the people of the world, but I am afraid that it is rare to have this leisure." What's more, all the ladies, as well as those confidants, are in their prime and youthful, how can the sect leader give up? Yang Peng laughed and pointed at Wang Laozhi with his finger, "You old guy, I didn't expect it to be a pair of fancy intestines!" Wang Laozhi smiled: "The sect leader made fun of it." ”

Yang Peng suddenly remembered something, "By the way, why didn't you see Miss Jin Zhi?" "The Holy Aunt went to visit the refugees in the refugee camp outside the city. During this time, the Holy Aunt visited the poor people who had fled almost every day. Yang Peng nodded, "She really has a heart!" ”

Wang Laozhi said: "Sect Master, there is something to be dedicated to the Sect Master. Yang Peng smiled and asked, "What is a good thing?" Wang Laozhi smiled and said, "The sect leader and his subordinates will know." Yang Peng smiled: "It's quite mysterious!" Lead the way! Wang Laozhi smiled, and led Yang Peng down from the back mountain and into a stable behind the Loyal Soul Palace. As soon as Yang Peng walked into the stable, he heard the neighing sound of a horse roaring like a tiger coming from the innermost side, and he was startled. Hurriedly followed the sound, and saw an exceptionally majestic horse standing in the innermost stable. That horse is really amazingly big, two laps bigger than the most majestic horse Chen Xiao has ever seen, roaring and roaring, it actually has the power of a lion, and its manic appearance makes people dare not approach at all, such a horse is simply a legendary heavenly horse!

Wang Laozhi smiled and asked, "What does the sect leader think of this horse?" Yang Peng came back to his senses and exclaimed: "Good horse! Good horse! I've read countless horses, but I've never seen such a majestic horse! My black dragon foal pales in comparison to it, not to mention any other warhorse! Then he asked curiously, "Where did you get such a horse?" ”

Wang Laozhi smiled mysteriously, "Sect Master, please come with me." Then he led Yang Peng towards a small wooden house next to the stable. The two disciples guarding the door of the cabin saw Wang Laozhi and Yang Peng, and hurriedly bowed down.

Wang Laozhi ordered them to open the room. The two of them said yes and immediately opened the door. Wang Laozhi led Yang Peng in. Yang Peng searched the room and immediately saw a face that surprised him. On the side of the wooden bed in the back of the room, a tall, fair-skinned, blond-haired, blue-eyed, and deep-eyed white man was chained to him, which was the first time Yang Peng had seen a white man since he came to this world.

The ghost guy looked at Yang Peng and Wang Laozhi, and said with a frightened expression: "What do you want to do?" "It's Chinese, and the tone is a bit weird. Wang Laozhi said with a smile: "I said that I would bring a big man to discuss business with you, and now I have fulfilled my promise." ”

The ghost guy looked at Yang Peng, "You're a big guy?" Who are you? Wang Laozhi hurriedly scolded: "Bold, how dare you be so rude in front of His Royal Highness King Yan?" The ghost guy was startled, and looked at Yang Peng with a blank look. Yang Peng patted Wang Laozhi on the shoulder and said a word in English to the ghost guy: "Hello! The ghost's eyes widened at once, as if he had seen a ghost. Then infinite surprise poured into his face, and his eyes widened, "You, you ......"

Yang Peng smiled and asked, "Do you understand what I just said?" The ghost nodded vigorously, pointed to himself and said excitedly: "I, I am English!" Yang Peng smiled, walked to the edge of the bed and sat down. At this time, Wang Laozhi looked at Yang Peng's eyes with an incredible expression. Yang Peng asked the ghost, "What's your name?" "I, John, my name is John."

"My name is Yang Peng, and I am the king here." John was a foreigner, and he couldn't tell the difference between a king and a king, as soon as he heard that Yang Peng was a king, he thought it was a person like those kings in Europe, so he knelt down and saluted: "Meet Your Majesty!" ”

Yang Peng smiled and said, "Get up." John stood up, looking very respectful. Yang Peng glanced at him and asked, "England is thousands of miles away from us, how did you come here?" Did you come from the sea? John shook his head, "The villain came with the caravan. ”

"Caravans? What about the others? John looked sad and frightened, "They are all dead, only the little man and the iron elephant are here." "Iron elephant? Is that the horse? John nodded, and said with a look of regret, "The villain had brought twenty of those horses, but they were all taken away, and some died on the road, and only the iron elephant remained." I wanted to sell it for some money, but ......" glanced up at Wang Laozhi and didn't dare to say any more.

Yang Peng smiled: "We won't rob you of your things." How much are you going to sell this horse for? When John heard this, he was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Not expensive, not expensive!" I only sell a pound of gold! Yang Peng was stunned. Seeing this, John thought that the other party was not satisfied with the price, so he hurriedly reduced the price automatically, "You, you can give half a catty of gold!" Yang Peng laughed and said, "I'll give you a pound of gold!" John was overjoyed and quickly kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Thank you, Your Majesty! ”

"Alright, alright, get up." John stood up again, "Your Majesty is such a good king! Please let this lord let me go! Wang Laozhi smiled: "If you don't always want to run, I won't lock you up." Then he said to Yang Peng: "Your Highness, this person not only brought such a divine horse, but also is proficient in horse breeding and breeding techniques, and his subordinates think that he is a talent, so they left him here!" ”

Yang Peng understood and asked John, "Is what this adult said right?" John hesitated, very hesitant. Yang Peng smiled and asked, "What?" Is this question hard to answer? ”

John cautiously asked, "If so, if I do this, will Your Majesty keep me?" Yang Peng understood his worries and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't force you to stay." However, if you are really proficient in breeding and rearing techniques, I will hire you as my horse breeder at a great price. Give you half a pound of gold a month. John's eyes lit up, and he quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Thank you, Your Majesty! I am willing to stay and be His Majesty's horse breeder! ”

Yang Peng smiled, "You haven't answered my question yet." John hurriedly said: "That lord is right, I am indeed proficient in the breeding and breeding techniques of war horses. Then he looked very proud, "I am the most outstanding breeder in all England and France!" ”

Yang Peng smiled: "It's not okay to brag, I have to see real results." John was very excited when he saw Yang Peng doubting his skills, and his face turned red, "What the villain said is true!" Villains never lie! ……”

Yang Peng stood up and said to Wang Laozhi: "Untie his chains." Wang Laozhi immediately took out a key from his waist and opened the shackles for John. John hurriedly moved his hands and feet, looking very happy.

Yang Peng walked out of the room, followed by John and Wang Laozhi. The Iron Elephant saw John and hissed excitedly. John was also very excited, and was about to run over, but was stopped by two Mingjiao disciples. John hurriedly begged Yang Peng: "Your Majesty ......" Yang Peng said: "Let him pass." The congregation let go of John, who ran impatiently and patted the iron elephant on the neck, and the horse that had been restless fell silent. Yang Peng smiled and said to Wang Laozhi: "Sometimes animals are more emotional than people!" Wang Laozhi nodded sympathetically.

The two walked to the stable. At this moment John was holding the horse's neck and whispering in its ear, and the horse rubbed John's head very affectionately, like a child who was spoiling his parents.

Yang Peng asked, "Are you willing to sell it?" John was very embarrassed. Yang Peng smiled: "If you can breed thousands of horses like the Iron Elephant for me, I don't want your Iron Elephant, and I will give you three catties of gold for nothing." John was incredulous, "Is what Your Majesty said true?" Yang Peng smiled and nodded, "Of course it's true!" The question is, can you breed a war horse like the Iron Elephant? John thought for a moment, "I'm not sure yet!" I'll have to look at the horses here to be sure! ”

Yang Peng nodded, "You go back with me first, meet your chief, and then talk about the rest of the matter." John looked like he was about to say something. Seeing this, Yang Peng asked puzzledly, "Do you have something?" John hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty just said that let me be Your Majesty's horse official and give me half a pound of gold a month, is it true?" Yang Peng saw that this was for this matter, and said with a smile: "Of course it's true." I will announce this appointment to several adults. John was overjoyed.

Yang Peng took John back to the Left-behind Mansion, and immediately recruited Qian Lotian and Kou Yan, and then announced the order to appoint John as a horse official. Qian Letian and Kou Yan looked at this blonde, blue-eyed, ghost-like alien and were very surprised. Yang Peng handed over John to Qian Lotian and Kou Yan, and asked the two of them to make specific arrangements, and after the three of them saluted, they left.

Yang Peng thought for a moment, then left the hall and went to the backyard.

Half a month later, Zuo Mou came back. "My lord, everything is going well." He immediately took out a scroll of the holy decree and presented it to Yang Peng. Yang Peng took the holy decree, read it, and said with a smile: "Okay, with this holy decree, you can justifiably adapt the Song army in Zhending Mansion and other places!" He put the decree on the desk and asked, "Did this trip go well?" Zuo Mou nodded and said with a smile: "I thought there would be some twists and turns, but I didn't expect Wang Qinruo, Pang Taishi and others to really see the money. The next day, his subordinates received this holy decree from the hands of Master Pang. ”

Yang Peng smiled slightly.

Zuo Mou remembered something, "By the way, the Empress Dowager Shenxiao has a letter for her subordinates to pass on to the lord. Then he took out a small wooden box from his arms, opened the wooden box, took out a letter, and presented it to Yang Peng with both hands. Yang Peng took the letter, opened the envelope, took out the stationery, and read it again, with a very confused look on his face. Zhao Xiangxiang wrote another poem, with beautiful writing and far-reaching temperament, which is pleasing to the eye. However, the content is irrelevant, completely inconsequential. With his previous experience, Yang Peng found the keyword from each sentence. In the end, I got eight words, 'May the king be Fuxi, and I am Nuwa.' Yang Peng blinked his eyes, with a dazed expression, not understanding what this metaphor meant at all.

Yang Peng returned to the backyard, came to Yang Jiumei's yard, and saw Yang Jiumei sitting in front of the window writing. Yang Peng was curious, and stepped forward, only to see Yang Jiumei's pen, and the beautiful regular script jumped on the paper like magic. Yang Jiumei knew that Yang Peng was coming, so she stopped writing, turned her head, smiled, and then continued to write. Yang Peng exclaimed: "It's so beautiful! What a word! When Yang Jiumei heard Ailang's approval, her heart was as happy as eating ice and snow.

A moment later, Yang Jiumei finished writing. Yang Peng couldn't wait to say: "This painting must be given to me!" Yang Jiumei smiled, "Since the eldest brother wants it, then I will give it to the eldest brother!" ”

Yang Peng hugged Yang Jiumei's slender waist, kissed her on the cheek, and said with a smile: "I hung this character in the bedroom." Sleeping on the bed and looking at this lettering, it was as if my little sister was by my side. Yang Jiumei was delicate and red, and her heart was pounding.

Yang Peng suddenly remembered something and asked, "Little sister, what is the relationship between Fuxi and Nuwa?" Yang Jiumei said: "They were originally brother and sister, and later became husband and wife. ”

Yang Peng couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart. Yang Jiumei asked puzzledly, "What is the eldest brother asking for?" Yang Peng hugged Yang Jiumei, his lips pressed against her crystal pinna and said softly: "I feel like Fuxi, and my little sister is like Nuwa!" Yang Jiumei couldn't help but feel emotional.

Since Yang Peng had received the emperor's authorized decree, he immediately reorganized the Song army in Zhending Mansion and other places. Reorganize all Song armies into the Yanyun Eighth Legion, and the Yanyun Ninth Legion. The Eighth Legion is under the control of Min, and the Ninth Army is under the command of Chen Jie.

Since then, Yang Peng has devoted all his energy to arms expansion and training. A steady stream of fresh blood enters the army. The armed forces in various localities conduct arduous training during the day and attend classes by political commissars at all levels at night, instilling in the hearts of every soldier and soldier the belief in bravery and loyalty, and constantly consolidating it. The scale of Yang Zhen's armory has more than doubled, armor and weapons are continuously transported from here to warehouses in various places, and some new types of equipment appear from time to time, such as the latest type of heavy armor named by Yang Peng Xuantian War Armor, which consists of two layers, the innermost layer is chain mail, and the outer layer is the Xuanshi War Armor (the Xuanshi Battle Armor is the main equipment of the Mo Sword Army and the Iron Armor War Cavalry, and it is an improvement of plate armor that has been improved on the basis of Duan Zhixian's step armor.

The defense of the Xuantian battle armor is even higher than the Xuantian battle armor, Ling Zhen once slammed the Xuantian battle armor with a Mo knife in front of Yang Peng, and the blow could not be broken, and the strength of the defense was eye-catching. After Yang Peng saw the power of this kind of battle armor, he immediately asked the armory field to make full production, Yang Peng hoped that the Mo Dao Army and the Formation Breaking Iron Cavalry could be equipped with this kind of Xuantian battle armor. Yang Peng felt that the current flintlock pistol was okay when it was defended, and it was still not good to fight on horseback, and the Khitans liked to attack all.

Before you know it, a year has passed. On this day, Yang Peng, as well as the main government officials and major generals in the army, held a meeting in the lobby of the left-behind mansion. The participants included Qian Letian, Zuo Mou, Kou Yan, Liu Zhiliang, Zhang Yan, Chai Yongqi, Chai Yonghui, Yang Zhen, and Wang Laozhi, all of whom were people from the government; The military personnel are members of the Supreme Military Council, namely Duan Zhixian, Zhan Jinguo, Yin Mingde, Zhou Dayong, Chen Jie, Huyan Chijin, Huyan Bixian, Yang Jing, and Han Bing. There is one more member of the military council than before, Han Bing. According to the rules laid down by Yang Peng, only members of the Supreme Military Council could lead the army alone.

Zuo Mou stood in the middle of the hall with a pamphlet and read: "......." The above is the breakdown of each item, this year, the total expenditure is more than 8.2 million taels of silver. He then presented the booklet to Yang Peng. Yang Peng took the booklet and looked at it. Putting down the booklet, he smiled: "It's less than I expected, good!" Turning his head to look at Liu Zhiliang, "Liu Zhiliang, what is the situation of the army now?" ”

Liu Zhiliang stood up and hugged his fists and said: "Brother Qiyu, our army currently has ten major legions, plus the two guards of the secret guard and Feifeng around the eldest brother, a total of 765,000 people, including 150,000 cavalry, all the legions have been reorganized, morale is high, all armor and ordnance are in place, just wait for the eldest brother to give an order, you can immediately pounce on the enemy!" ”

At present, the 760,000 troops of the Yanyun Army belong to the ten major army corps, of which 200,000 are directly under the legion, and there are 60,000 cavalry, including 20,000 broken formation iron cavalry, that is, heavy armored cavalry, and 20,000 Mo sword army; The first legion and the second legion each have 70,000 troops, and the other seven legions have 60,000 soldiers and horses each, each of these legions has 10,000 war cavalry and 3,000 Mo sword troops. The overall achievements of the Yan Yun Army are like this, excluding the water army.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
