Chapter 212, Candles in the Cave Room,
Zhao Lihua was taken aback and hurriedly took two steps back. His face was as red as if it was burning, and he was flustered and at a loss. Yang Peng smiled and asked, "Do you have something on your mind?" Zhao Lihua thought of Ni Chengmou, and subconsciously held the piece of landscape jade pendant hanging on her waist. Yang Peng saw her holding a piece of jade pendant on her waist, and his heart moved. Turning to face the mirror-like water, he seemed to say to himself: "There are many helplessness in this life, and it is impossible to do everything as you wish!" It has always been said that man will win the day, but in fact, how many people can really fight against fate? Zhao Lihua's heart couldn't help but feel the same feeling.
Yang Peng glanced at Zhao Lihua, "However, I can give you a choice!" Zhao Lihua was stunned, "You, what do you mean?" Yang Peng smiled, "I can see that you don't want to marry." But the emperor's order was difficult, but he had to embark on this road. Zhao Lihua felt as if she didn't have any secrets in front of him, and couldn't help but feel very uneasy. Yang Peng walked in front of Zhao Lihua, and Zhao Lihua became nervous. Yang Peng reached out and picked up the jade pendant on Zhao Lihua's waist and said with a smile: "If I guess correctly, this jade pendant is of great significance to the princess!" Zhao Lihua didn't dare to look at Yang Peng's eyes, at this moment her mood was as if a child who had done something wrong was discovered by her elders.
Yang Peng put down the jade pendant and said with a mocking smile: "I know that what you are most worried about now is that I will touch you!" Don't worry, in fact, I can't ask for you if you have such a mind! ”
Zhao Lihua looked at Yang Peng in surprise. Yang Peng looked at this mansion with a large area and beautiful scenery, "You can live well, and it won't humiliate you here." I don't think I'll be coming over often. If you need anything, send someone to inform the officials here, and they will take care of it as appropriate! Glancing at Zhao Lihua, she said indifferently and meaningfully: "Although I am not a good person, I will not touch a woman with a different heart!" You don't have to worry about anything at all! Then he smiled and said, "Okay." The two of us finally met. I probably won't be here in the future, goodbye. Then he turned and left.
Zhao Lihua wanted to say something but didn't say it, I don't know why, tears overflowed in her eyes. Yang Peng came out of the princess's mansion and let out a long breath. Turning his head to look at the princess's mansion, he smiled coldly, and went home without hesitation, where his lover was waiting for him!
Zhao Lihua sat in front of the dresser in a daze, and the palace maids stood outside, puzzled and very worried, they didn't understand why the princess would become like this after King Yan came?
The gaze turned to the backyard of the Left-behind Mansion. Yang Tong and Chai Yonghui were strolling by the lake, and saw that Yang Peng's courtyard was very lively, many maids and female guards were busy coming in and out, and female guards were hanging red lanterns on the arch. Yang Tong asked puzzledly, "What are they doing?" ”
Chai Yonghui sighed, "Xianggong is going to have a cave room with Zhao Jinxi and Princess Yelu at night!" Yang Tong felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, his eyes showed a look of jealousy, and he said angrily: "Let's not go to the front, let's go back!" Then he turned around and went back with Chai Yonghui.
Night finally fell, Yang Peng entered the room under the drag and coaxing of a group of female guards, and then the female guards laughed and went out, and then closed the door.
Yang Peng saw that the whole room was covered with red silk, red candles were burning on all sides, and there was a fiery atmosphere, so he couldn't help but laugh and said, "This is too exaggerated!" I looked at the screen not far away, and my mood suddenly became excited. Walking slowly, as the distance got closer and closer, I couldn't help but feel apprehensive.
Turning the screen, I saw two brides dressed in red palace costumes and wearing red hijabs sitting on the bed one on the left and one right, motionless. Yang Peng immediately became excited. walked up to the two girls and smiled softly, "Are you in a hurry?" The two women snorted together. Yang Peng smiled and prepared to remove their red hijabs. But he didn't want the two girls to push his hands back at the same time. Yang Peng was in the middle of the difference, when he saw one of the brides throw a note to him. Yang Peng muttered in his heart, opened the note and looked at it, only to see that it was written, 'Guess who we are before you can remove the hijab.' There is only one chance, and if you are wrong, please go out. ’
Yang Peng smiled bitterly, "I said you two, you can't tease your husband like this!" ”
The two girls chuckled. Yang Peng's eyes lit up immediately, and he pointed to the bride on the left and said, "You are Jin Xi's little sister!" ......" hurriedly shook his head and said, "It seems, it doesn't seem to be very like!" ”
Yang Peng looked at the bride on the left, and then at the bride on the right, for a while there was really no difference between the two girls, the posture was so charming, Yang Pengwu was intoxicated. Thinking that the fragrance on the two girls was different, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly went up to smell this and that, the fragrance was far away, and it was breathtaking. Yang Peng stood up and said angrily: "You guys are too cheating!" The same spice is used! The two girls smiled softly, and they could hear the smug laughter.
Yang Peng hated it so much that his teeth itched. After going around the two brides twice, I couldn't find any flaws at all, and I don't know whose idea it was, they covered up all the characteristics that could distinguish the two people, and the smart woman was really cute and hateful!
Yang Peng squatted down in front of the two brides, grabbed a person's slender hand with one hand, and begged: "I said you, can you stop torturing me?" The two brides shook their heads together.
Yang Peng had an evil fire in his heart, and he really wanted to slap these two naughty wives to relieve his hatred. Suddenly, Yang Peng's face showed a look of surprise, "Haha, I know!" You're Sister Jerry! Yang Peng pointed to the bride on the left, and then pointed to the bride on the right, "What about you, needless to say, in addition to Zhao Jinxi's little sister, will there be a third person?" Immediately, Yang Peng unveiled the red hijabs of the two brides, and it was as he expected.
Yelu Hanyu asked angrily, "How did you guess?" Zhao Jinxi also showed doubts, "We should cover it up well!" Yang Peng picked up Zhao Jinxi's chin, kissed her red lips, and said with a smile: "Although the two of you have covered up all your characteristics, you have only missed one place. Then he picked up the slender hands of the two women and flipped them over, the same jade was slender, but there was a little callus on the tiger's mouth of Yelu Hanyu, just like a little flaw on the white jade. The two girls immediately understood, and Yelu Hanyu said a little unwillingly: "It's really hateful! We didn't even expect it! ”
Yang Peng sat in the middle of the two women, hugged the slender waists of the two women, and said with a smile: "It's not early, it's time to rest!" The delicate faces of the two girls turned crimson, Yelutri looked at Yang Peng hotly, and Zhao Jinxi's eyes were tender like water. The red candle is swaying, the rain is flowing in Wushan, and the indescribable gentleness lingers. ……
The next morning, Yang Peng left Wenrou Township and went to the barracks outside the city. The two girls struggled to get up very late, and then cut the sheets that were flying and put them away. finally turned from a young girl to a young woman, and the two girls exuded amazing beauty, which was simply suffocating, and also made Yang Tong and Chai Yonghui ashamed of themselves. ……
Yang Peng did not return until late in the evening. Just sat down to prepare for dinner, Jiang Li rushed to report: "Master, Yang Zhen is here!" The girls were unhappy, and Yelu Hanyu said angrily: "This Yang Zhen is really ignorant!" Yang Peng smiled and said to the women: "You eat first, I'll go see what's going on." Then he got up and followed Jiang Li away.
When he came to the hall, he saw Ling Zhenzheng pacing back and forth excitedly. Yang Peng smiled: "Is there any good news for our ordnance field director?" Ling Zhen hurriedly turned around and saluted Chen Xiao: "Subordinates meet King Yan!" Then he untied a burden on his back, carefully placed it on the coffee table, opened it, and revealed a special-looking crossbow, "King Yan, please look!" ”
Chen Xiao stepped forward, picked up the crossbow, and looked at it for a moment. The appearance of this crossbow is very different from that of a normal crossbow, and the biggest difference is that there is an arrow magazine on the upper part of the crossbow. Some of my friends must have guessed what kind of crossbow it was, and yes, it was a repeater. Yang Peng once told Ling Zhen the principle of the repeater crossbow and asked him to try out and improve it, and after so much time, he finally succeeded.
The repeater made by Ling Zhen is actually a little different from the traditional Zhuge repeater, which relies on moving the top arrow box to complete the winding and loading action, although it is simple, but it limits the power; Ling Zhen's crossbow was different, its entire receiver was fixed at the top, and there was something similar to an old-fashioned rifle bolt next to it, which was used to wind it and at the same time pull the partition under the receiver to make the arrows in the receiver fall into the orbit, and then you could pull the trigger to shoot. Repeating this action allows for continuous firing, and in order to facilitate quick winding, the repeater is designed to resemble the butt of a gun, which can be used not only to shoot at the shoulder, but also to speed up the winding.
Yang Peng said happily: "You succeeded?!" Ling Zhen nodded excitedly, hugged his fists and said, "Finally live up to King Yan's trust, and his subordinates have succeeded!" It has also been improved, although the shooting speed is a little slower than that of traditional repeaters, but it is greatly enhanced! Although its power can't be compared to that of a crossbow such as the Divine Arm Bow, it is not inferior to any hand crossbow, and the rate of fire is very fast! ”
Yang Peng opened the arrow box and looked at it, and found that it was already full of arrows, so he couldn't wait to come to the backyard, looked around, and finally decided to try it with the big camphor tree on the edge of the back hall a hundred steps away. Yang Peng pulled the bolt of the gun, the crossbow string was fastened, and at the same time, there was a soft sound under the arrow magazine, and Yang Peng felt that the arrow had entered the orbit. So he picked up the repeater, aimed at the big camphor tree in the distance, and pulled the trigger, only to hear a soft sound, and a black shadow flew out of the hole in front of the repeater, and then a loud sound came from a distance.
Jiang Li hurriedly ran over, then rushed back, handed back an arrow to Yang Peng, and said excitedly: "Right in the middle of the trunk, it's very deep!" Yang Peng smiled, broke the arrow into the arrow box again, and then picked up the repeater, constantly pulling the bolt to shoot, the crossbow kept making a clanging sound, and after a while, a box of arrows was shot out. Yang Peng couldn't wait to run to the camphor tree, only to see that the trunk was densely covered with arrows. Yang Peng said happily: "Okay! We've got another weapon in our arsenal! Ling Zhen was very excited when he saw Yang Peng's appreciation.
Yang Peng turned his head to Ling Zhen and said, "I want to take credit for you!" All those who participate in R&D will be rewarded! "King Xie Yan!"
A few people walked into the back hall, Yang Peng walked to the top, and stroked the repeater with love, after so long, he finally found the feeling of shooting again! Yang Peng put the repeater on the desk, sat down, and asked, "Does this repeater have a name?" Ling Zhen hugged his fists and said, "Please also ask King Yan to give you a name!" Jiang Li on the side smiled; It's better to call it the Yanwang Repeater! Chen Xiao laughed, "That's a good name!" It's called the Yanwang Repeater! Ling Zhen hugged his fists and said, "Thank you King Yan for the name!" ”
Yang Peng looked at the repeater in front of him and thought for a moment, then raised his head and asked, "How much has been produced now, how much is the production capacity, and what is the cost?" ”
"Back to King Yan, because he has not yet received the approval of King Yan, only a dozen of them have been trial-produced. As for the production capacity, since the production of this repeater is not particularly complicated, if all the crossbow production capacity is used to make repeaters, more than 10,000 crossbows can be produced in a month; In terms of cost, one body is about ten taels of silver. ”
Yang Peng thought for a while, "Half of the bow and crossbow production capacity will be used to produce repeating crossbows, and the rest of the production capacity will still produce divine arm bows, as for the required funds, I will let Qian Lotian allocate it as soon as possible!" "Yes!" "One more thing, about the production process of the repeater, must be kept strictly secret! The level of secrecy is the same as that of a cannon! "Yes!"
After Ling Zhen left, Jiang Liyang begged, "Master, can you equip the Yan King Repeater with our Flying Phoenix Guard?" Yang Peng smiled and said, "Of course you can." Jiang Li was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked her.
Yang Peng stood up, picked up the repeater, and walked in front of Jiang Li, "I'll give you this repeater!" Jiang Li happily took the repeater and thanked Yingying. Yang Peng said with a smile; "I'll teach you this kind of crossbow related tactics later!" Jiang Li looked at Yang Peng charmingly, and she didn't know where she thought.
Yang Peng returned to the back garden and found that all the girls had not moved their chopsticks, so he felt very heartwarming, and said angrily: "Why don't you eat it?" Yang Tong said: "Xianggong is not here, what is the point of us eating!" Yang Peng smiled softly, lowered his head and kissed Yang Tong's cheek, and then sat down between Yang Tong and Zhao Jinxi. Yang Peng picked up the chopsticks and said with a smile: "Come on, come on, everyone eat!" The women smiled slightly, picked up the chopsticks one after another, and when Yang Peng started, they began to eat. In the hearts of these women, Yang Peng is their heaven, which may be the so-called husband-oriented! Hehe, although it's feudal enough, it feels good!
After dinner, Yang Peng was going to teach Jiang Li the tactical movements of using firearms, and all the girls were very curious when they heard about it and wanted to take a look, of course Yang Peng would not object. So Yang Peng taught Jiang Li the tactical movements of using firearms in the backyard, while his wives and concubines watched from the side, and after a while, Yelu Hanyu also came down to learn. One night passed in such laughter.
The days of comfort have always flown fast, and half a month has passed before you know it. During this time, Yang Peng devoted all his time to these wives and concubines at home, except for dealing with some official duties that he had to deal with. Or go boating in the lake in the backyard, or go to the mountains and rivers outside the city to sleep under the vast starry sky, or accompany them to visit the silk village and rouge gouache shop, and the long night repeats the fragrant drama of the dragon and the phoenix. However, during this period, Yang Peng found a small problem, he found that Yang Tong, Chai Yonghui and Zhao Jinxi, Yelu Hanyu seemed to have formed two small groups, competing with each other openly and secretly, competing for favor. This made Yang Peng a little worried, but he couldn't find a good solution for a while, maybe this is the price of Huaxin! God is fair, and you won't take advantage of it!
Late at night, Yang Peng lay on the bed and looked at the report that had just been sent during the day today; There was a stunning beauty lying on her chest, who had fallen asleep deeply, her delicate face was still flushed, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned to reveal a satisfied and happy smile.
Look back to Yanjing. The lively Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is over, and the five wives and concubines are drunk and unconscious. At the banquet just now, Yang Tong, Chai Yonghui, Zhao Jinxi, Yelu Hanyu Doujiu, and even Yang Jiumei, who had just returned home, were implicated. Yang Peng looked at the five women in front of him, his heart was still full of tender feelings, and he was also a little annoyed, feeling that they were really like children sometimes, and he was the parent who was often powerless.
Yang Peng patted his dizzy head, just now a few beautiful wives and concubines fought wine, and he didn't drink less, often toasting him with a glass here, and not to be outdone with a toast there, as a result, he drank almost a whole small jar! Fortunately, it is rice wine made from pure grains, and the alcohol content is not very high, otherwise he would be afraid of lying on the table at this moment.
Taking a deep breath, the cool air poured into the lungs, and the whole person was much more awake. At this time, Jiang Li walked over. Yang Peng glanced at her and asked, "When is it?" ”
"Just arrived." Yang Peng heard that there was still a very lively sound on the street outside the mansion, and asked in some surprise: "Why is the street still so lively?" Jiang Li said with a smile: "Guess the lantern riddles, watch the big play, everyone's interest is still very high!" I'm afraid that some people will make trouble all night! ”
Yang Peng smiled. For no reason, I suddenly thought of Her Royal Highness the princess of the Great Song Dynasty, and some feelings of pity and guilt rose in my heart, a girl who was a political victim, thousands of miles away from home, in this reunion festival, I am afraid that it is extremely lonely and lonely! Yang Peng couldn't help but sigh and asked Jiang Li, "Is there any activity over there in the princess's mansion?" Jiang Li shook her head, "It's quiet there, maybe it's already resting." ”
"Take some mooncakes and rice wine, and tell her for me: If she wants, she can treat me as her big brother." Jiang Li responded. As he was about to leave, he saw the ladies lying on the table drunk and unconscious, and asked, "Master, do you want to carry them back?" ”
Yang Peng said: "I'll come, you can do what I explained." Jiang Li answered and left. Yang Peng carried Zhao Jinxi, Yelu Hanyu, Yang Jiumei, Yang Tong and Chai Yonghui back to their respective courtyards in turn.
When Yang Peng put down Chai Yonghui and was about to leave, Chai Yonghui suddenly opened his eyes and hugged Yang Peng's neck.
Yang Peng smiled: "It turns out that you are pretending to be drunk!" It's cunning! Chai Yonghui smiled, "The ladies are all drunk, how can my little concubine not get drunk!" Yang Peng sat down and asked with a smile, "Is this really the reason?" Chai Yonghui sat up on his knees, buried his soft and sexy upper body in Yang Peng's chest, and a pair of softness passed through Yang Peng's ribs, hugged Yang Peng's waist, and said in a gentle and very sexy voice: "This is just an excuse!" The slave family just wants to create an opportunity for Xianggong to love the slave family well! ”
Yang Peng's heart was soft, and he couldn't help but kiss Chai Yonghui's red lips and smiled: "What's so difficult about this?" Then he raised his fingers and slowly untied the clothes on Chai Yonghui's body; Chai Yonghui looked at Yang Peng, his eyes were very bright, showing an impulsive look, his delicate face was flushed, and he didn't know if it was because of the wine, or because he was already emotional.
In the moon and clouds, ** is short, and the indescribable love lingers overnight. On the other side, Jiang Li led two Feifeng female guards carrying three baskets of moon cakes and rice wine to the door of the princess's mansion according to Yang Peng's instructions, and knocked on the door.
Immediately there was the sound of hurried footsteps at the door, and at the same time a female voice raised her voice and asked, "Who?" Jiang Li raised his voice and said, "Open the door quickly, I am the captain of the guard of His Royal Highness King Yan." "I heard that it was His Royal Highness King Yan, who dared to slack off, so he quickly opened the door. Seeing that it was indeed the female guards beside King Yan outside the door, they hurriedly came out to greet them.
Jiang Li's three daughters walked into the door, and the two servants hurriedly closed the door, while a palace maid followed closely behind the three of them. Jiang Li asked as she walked, "Are you princesses resting?" The palace maid shook her head and said, "Not yet!" "Take us to Her Royal Highness!" The palace maid answered, and hurriedly went to the front to lead the way.
After passing through a few arches and turning a few corridors, a beautiful embroidery tower comes into view. It was dark all around, except for a lamp in the embroidery building, and a lonely shadow was printed on the window. Jiang Li's three daughters followed the palace maid into the embroidery building, and the palace maid turned around and said, "Three of you, please wait, I'll go up and pass the ceremony." Jiang Li nodded. The palace maid hurriedly ran upstairs, and Jiang Li's three daughters heard a low and indistinct voice from upstairs, and then the sound of footsteps came, and her eyes seemed to light up, and Her Royal Highness the beautiful princess came downstairs.
Jiang Li put down the bamboo basket, clasped her fists and bowed: "Meet Her Royal Highness the Princess!" Zhao Lihua asked indifferently: "It's so late, is there anything wrong?" ”
Jiang Li picked up the bamboo basket, "This is the moon cake and rice wine that the host asked us to send." Zhao Lihua's expression moved slightly, "King Yan has a heart!" Then he glanced at the palace maid beside him, who immediately stepped forward and took the bamboo basket in the hands of the three girls and put it on the coffee table on the side. Jiang Li said: "The master wants me to tell His Highness: If His Highness is willing, you can treat him as your eldest brother!" Zhao Lihua was stunned, and then revealed a complicated expression.
Jiang Li hugged her fists and said, "If Your Highness doesn't have any orders, I will retire!" Zhao Lihua subconsciously asked: "I don't know how he spent this Mid-Autumn Festival?" Jiang Li said: "Naturally, I spent a good night with all the ladies drinking and admiring the moon!" Zhao Lihua's heart suddenly swelled with resentment, "Hmph! He's pretty free! ”
Jiang Li hugged her fists and said: "Subordinates retire!" Then he led the other two Feifeng female guards away. Zhao Lihua was stunned for a while, and sighed faintly. couldn't help but look down at her waist, but she unexpectedly didn't see the jade pendant that Ni Chengmou gave her, she was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Where is my jade pendant?" The palace maid hurriedly said, "Princess, you forgot, you didn't wear a jade pendant when you were dressing up this morning!" The jade pendant was placed on the dressing table upstairs, and the slave maid went to fetch it. "As he spoke, he went up." Not necessarily. Zhao Lihua felt extremely confused.
Seeing the three bamboo baskets placed not far away, I couldn't help but walk up, picked up a piece of cake wrapped in cotton paper, looked at the round cake printed with auspicious words, felt very novel, and couldn't help muttering: "Is this a moon cake?" It's quite vivid! The palace maid behind him immediately said: "I heard that this moon cake is the initiative of King Yan!" The moon cakes in King Yan's Mansion may be made by King Yan himself! ”
Zhao Lihua said angrily: "Nonsense! He is the king of Yan, how can he cook himself! The palace maid hurriedly said: "The slave maid heard that King Yan is very different, and he often cooks for his wives and concubines!" I heard that the guards who stayed behind in the mansion were able to occasionally eat the dishes made by King Yan, and it was said to be very delicious! ”
Zhao Lihua was very surprised, "There is such a thing?" The palace maid nodded vigorously, "That's what everyone said!" Zhao Lihua looked at the moon cake in her hand, and couldn't help but take a bite gently, only to feel the sweet fragrance overflowing her mouth, and couldn't help but praise: "It's delicious!" He picked up another piece of moon cake, turned around and handed it to the palace maid, "You can taste it too." The palace maid was very flattered, and hurriedly shook her hand and said: "This is given to the princess by King Yan, and the slave doesn't dare to eat it!" Zhao Lihua blushed slightly and said with a coquettish face: "Where is there so much gossip!" This princess gives it to you, and you can do it! The palace maid answered, took the moon cake with both hands, but was reluctant to eat it.
Zhao Lihua saw that there was still rice wine in the basket, so she asked the palace maid to put the rice wine and moon cakes in the pavilion in the courtyard, and the palace maid ate moon cakes while admiring the moon, feeling that this Mid-Autumn Festival did not seem to be so sad.
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
