Chapter 213, Between Women

The next morning, Yang Peng was eating breakfast in the study while reading the report sent last night. When Yang Peng saw the report that the Liao State would hold a warrior conference in more than a month, his heart couldn't help but move, and an idea that had been brewing for a long time suddenly came to his mind again.

Yang Peng stood up, walked to the window, looked at the blue lake in the backyard, and was thinking about things in his mind. In the end, Yang Peng made up his mind and raised his voice: "Come on!" Jiang Li, who was guarding the door, immediately rushed in, clenched her fists and asked, "What does the master command?" ”

Yang Peng instructed: "Go and call me Qian Letian, Zuo Mou, Duan Zhixian, and Cheng Shijie, I have important things to explain." Jiang Li answered and ran out. Immediately, Yang Peng called a female guard and asked her to go to the backyard to invite Yang Jiumei and Yelu Hanyu to the study.

A moment later, Yang Jiumei and Yelu Hanyu came first. Yelu Hanyu asked, "Big brother called us to the study, did something happen?" ”

Yang Peng said: "There is something I have been thinking about for a long time! He glanced up at Yelu Hanyu, "How much does it cost us to defeat the Liao State, and can we succeed in the end?" ”

The two women couldn't help but frown. Yelu Hanyu sighed, "Although I don't want to admit it, I'm afraid it's very difficult to defeat the Liao Kingdom!" Today's Liao State is too powerful, and many of the ways we were able to win before were actually tricky in it! I think the biggest possibility in the future is that we coexist with the Liao State, and the Liao State is still stronger than us, but it will not be able to destroy us. ”

Yang Peng nodded, "It's very likely that this will happen!" Hey, do I have to accept such an unembarrassing outcome in my lifetime? I'm afraid I'll die! ”

Yang Jiumei and Yelu Hanyu glanced at each other, and Yelu Hanyu asked, "Does the eldest brother have any ideas?" ”

Yang Peng said: "The princes of the Liao Kingdom are powerful, if we can assassinate the Empress Dowager Xiao and Ye Yu Longxu, then it is very likely that there will be a chaotic situation of the kings competing for the throne, and the current unfavorable situation will be reversed immediately!" ......" The two girls couldn't help but have a bad premonition in their hearts, and Yang Jiumei asked urgently: "Big brother, you don't want to assassinate yourself, do you?" ”

Yang Peng nodded. The two girls were taken aback, and Yang Jiumei immediately shouted, "No! I would never agree with it! Yelu Hanyu said angrily: "You thought about it for a long time to come up with such a bad idea? ”

Yang Peng smiled, "I said don't be so excited!" ......," Yelu Hanyu snorted, "this matter is not negotiable, and we will never agree with you to take the risk!" If you have three long and two short, we ......" Yelu Hanyu's eyes overflowed with tears, and he looked very resentful, and Yang Jiumei on the side was also excited.

When Yang Peng saw the tears of the two girls, his heart seemed to be touched fiercely, but his determination was still unshakable! That's what men do, there are things that have to be done! "I've decided on this matter!"

The two women couldn't help but feel sad and sobbed.

Yang Peng's heart was melted by the tears of the two of them, and he stepped forward and hugged the two girls. Yang Jiumei lay on Yang Peng's shoulder and sobbed, while Yelu Hanyu was very resistant, obviously angry with Yang Peng!

Yang Peng whispered softly in the ears of the two women: "Don't worry! Big brother knows how to measure and won't take risks! If things really can't be done, the eldest brother will never act rashly, and if things can be done, the eldest brother will never do it himself, the eldest brother will only be there to direct the action. As soon as the operation is over, the eldest brother will return immediately, and will never stop long! Big brother promises you that you will definitely return home in three months at most! ”

The two girls raised their heads, Yang Jiumei looked helpless, and Yelu Hanyu said hatefully: "You know that you won't listen to our words!" After a pause, "The two of us are nothing, but how are you going to convince Sister Zhao Jinxi?" Before you went to Bianjing, Zhao Jinxi's sister lost a whole circle because she was worried about you, and she didn't want to eat, and now you are going to Zhongjing in Liaoguo, how worried do you say your sister will be? So if you must go to Liaoguo, you must always be careful! Don't forget that there is still someone waiting for you at home! If you have three longs and two shorts, Sister Zhao Jinxi will definitely not survive, and my life and that of the ninth sister will not be saved! If you're trying to kill us, go ahead and take risks! ”

Yang Peng said very gently: "Don't worry, the eldest brother will definitely come back safely!" ”

Yelu Hanyu sighed helplessly, "Since you've decided, we won't say anything more!" Yang Jiumei frowned and asked, "Shouldn't this matter be handed over to someone else to do?" Big brother, why do you want to take the risk yourself! Yang Peng shook his head, "How can it be so simple to assassinate the emperor, it is absolutely impossible for others to succeed, if I go, it is still possible." Because I'm better at stealth assassination, I'm afraid there is no one in this world who is better at stealth assassination than me. In addition, to assassinate the emperor, you must plan carefully, how can I not go to Liao? And throughout the implementation of the plan, there is a high probability that various emergencies will occur, and I will not be able to deal with them if I am not there. That's why I had to go! But don't worry, I will never trade my life for the life of Ya Yu Longxu, my life is more precious than his gold! I'll only do it if it's safe to get out, so you don't have to worry about it! ”

The two women were silent.

Soon after, Qian Letian, Zuo Mou, Chai Yongqi, Cheng Shijie and Han Jinxin arrived. Yang Peng said what he had just said to the two girls again. Everyone was shocked and expressed their opposition one after another, and their attitudes were fierce. Yang Peng wasted the boss's strength again, and finally put on the authority of King Yan before everyone reluctantly agreed.

Yang Peng advised: "This matter can only be known to a few of you, and you must keep it secret from anyone, and say to the outside world that I am lingering in Gentle Township!" Yelu Hanyu snorted dissatisfiedly.

After the meeting ended, Yang Peng returned to the backyard and only said to Zhao Jinxi and Yang Tong and Chai Yonghui that he would go to Yingzhou to inspect. This is the way Yang Peng came up with it, he really didn't dare to tell these women about it, especially Zhao Jinxi, for fear that she would be too worried and hurt her body. However, Yang Peng's cleverness did not play any role, as smart as Zhao Jinxi had already seen the clues from Yelu Hanyu and Yang Jiumei's demeanor, but she was virtuous, but she still forcibly suppressed the strong uneasiness in her heart, and pretended to prepare for Yang Peng as if nothing happened. It wasn't until Yang Peng embarked on the journey that Zhao Jinxi finally couldn't hold back his tears.

Yang Peng and hundreds of others all disguised themselves as Koreans or Wa people, and they all pretended to be various identities, either down-and-out samurai, or small merchants who went to the Liao Kingdom to pan for gold. The reason why Yang Peng did not disguise themselves as a big caravan to go to Liao but broke it into pieces was mainly to hide people's eyes, a big caravan was too conspicuous, and I was afraid that it would be difficult to guarantee that their identities would not be revealed. Nowadays, there are many large ships from the Goryeo Wa Kingdom carrying the Goryeo Wa people with various dreams to the land of the Liao State, so this kind of camouflage is the least noticeable.

Yang Peng and his entourage took several large ships of Goryeo and Wa people to Liao in turn. These Goryeo ships and Japanese ships were all seized from Kyaw Hwa Island before, and they are absolutely genuine, and no one will see the flaws. In order to completely confuse the real with the fake, the weapons carried by everyone were not the usual weapons, but were replaced with Goryeo swords and Japanese swords.

Speaking of Japanese knives, by the way, a brief introduction. In modern society, the Japanese always emphasize that the Japanese sword is their genius creation, in fact, according to the Japanese own ancient books, it can be found that the Japanese sword is just a work that they have changed after absorbing the casting technology of the Tang sword! Even today, the Tang sword is still a family heirloom handed down from ancient times by many large Japanese families! Sadly, the manufacturing technology of Tang knives seems to have been lost in China in the Song Dynasty, so much so that Japanese swords were also a rare treasure in the Song Dynasty society at that time!

The so-called Japanese sword in Yang Peng's hands was actually not from the Japanese country, but was specially forged by the ordnance field for this operation. Regarding the forging technique of the sword or Tang knife, Ling Zhen had already figured it out, and now the Yanyun Xuanjia war cavalry and the generals above the captain level are all equipped with the Tang sword.

Night fell, the wind blew in the sky, the sea became choppy, and several big boats that Yang Peng and his team were riding were sinking and floating in the waves. At this time, Yang Peng was standing on the deck looking at the northern sky, and now he still couldn't see the land, the vastness, if it weren't for the existence of stars, he couldn't tell where the sea was and where the sky was.

Cheng Shijie and Han Jinxin came behind Yang Peng, hugged their fists and said, "Big brother (master!)" ”

Yang Peng turned around, "Have you done everything I told you to do?" The two nodded, and Cheng Shijie said: "It's all ordered, and now everyone is reciting their own origin information and the customs of Goryeo and the Japanese country!" Yang Peng nodded, "This matter can't be sloppy, otherwise it will be easy to show your feet!" "Big brother, don't worry, we have already told you, you will never be sloppy!"

Han Jinxin said with some concern: "My subordinates are worried that everyone can't speak Korean and Japanese languages, will they show their feet?" ”

Yang Peng was about to speak, but a sexy female voice came, "Don't worry about this at all!" ......" Yang Peng followed the prestige and saw a beautiful woman, and he couldn't help but show a gentle smile on his face. Cheng Shijie and Han Jinxin hurriedly saluted: "Sister-in-law (madam!)" "It turned out to be Jeruhanyu! Why did she come too? It turned out that when Yang Peng was about to leave, Yelu Hanyu insisted on going along, her reason was that she was extremely familiar with Zhongjing, and she had learned the disguise technique from Wang Laozhi, so she could help Yang Peng and them. Yang Peng originally disagreed with Yelu Hanyu, but he really couldn't resist her, and with Zhao Jinxi helping on the side, Yang Peng had no choice but to agree.

Yelu Hanyu walked to Yang Peng's side and said to Wang Kai: "Many of the Japanese and Goryeo people who go to Liao can speak Chinese, so we don't need to deliberately disguise ourselves in this regard, and we won't attract the attention of others!" Han Jinxin understood.

Yelu Hanyu looked at Yang Peng with bright eyes and asked, "Big brother, what kind of identity should the two of us use?" Yang Peng smiled, "Do you need to talk about this?" Husband and wife, of course! We're husband and wife! Yelu Hanyu smiled.

At this time, a lookout standing on the turret shouted: "There is a Japanese boat approaching in the right rear!" ”

Yang Peng and a few people hurriedly looked in the direction of the right rear, only to see a smaller and much lighter boat catching up from behind. The ship was lit up, and there seemed to be a lot of people on the deck.

Yang Peng said: "Be careful that it is a pirate, everyone be vigilant!" ”

A moment later, when the boat approached forty or fifty paces, I saw several Japanese warriors standing on the side of the ship shouting in this direction, whimpering, and I didn't understand what it meant.

"Big brother, what are they shouting?" Cheng Shijie frowned and asked.

Yang Peng shook his head. Yelu Hanyu on the side said: "Look at their expressions and behaviors, I'm afraid of bad intentions!" Yang Peng nodded and ordered, "Tell everyone to take out the bow!" A moment later, dozens of secret guards came forward to fetch the Goryeo bow and prepared it, just waiting for Yang Peng's order.

The boat approached only a dozen paces away, and the two boats threw the hook and hooked the side of the boat, and with a hard pull, the two boats suddenly leaned together. Several Japanese people pulled out their swords and jumped over with a scream, and moved towards Yang Peng and Cheng Shijie without saying anything. Yang Peng smiled coldly, pulled out the sword and held the knife that was slashed at the head, only to hear a loud bang. The widow who attacked Chen Xiao saw that Yang Peng had blocked his attack, and he was very surprised, and shouted at Yang Peng, as if he was asking something. Yang Peng didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, he struggled to push his katana away, and then slashed across with both hands, clicking, the expression of the Japanese man froze on his face, and then his head fell backwards and fell from his neck, and blood sprayed wildly!

Seeing this, the other widow was startled, hurriedly turned around and jumped back to his boat, and at the same time, Cheng Shijie kicked the widow who attacked him into the sea.

The boats fled in a hurry. The man who fell into the water shouted at the boat, probably for help. A Japanese man threw a rope from the boat, and the Japanese in the water grabbed the rope and struggled to climb up.

Yang Peng raised his right hand and waved it forward, and dozens of secret guards immediately fired arrows at the Japanese on the Japanese boat and the Japanese who were climbing onto the Japanese boat. I heard a whooshing sound, and the widow who was climbing the boat was hit by several arrows in his back, screaming and falling into the water, and the widow on the boat was hit by an arrow in the arm and hurriedly hid in the cabin.

The ships fled in a hurry and gradually disappeared into the night where the sea and the sky were indistinguishable.

Yang Peng said teasingly: "This is called a dog can't change ****!" No matter where they go, they can't change this bandit-like mentality! ”

Yelu Hanyu said: "I heard that the Japanese people, we, the Han people, the Jin people, the Korean people, etc., are all the same ancestor!" Yang Peng pursed his lips, "Don't compare those animals to us!" Heaven and earth create all things, human beings, birds, insects and birds, flowers and trees, all of which can be called masterpieces, but the only work that has failed is the Japanese people! I don't understand, what is wrong with God, who actually created such a filthy and despicable race!! ”

Yelu Hanyu laughed, "Look at what you said! After thinking about it, he frowned and said, "But if you think about it carefully, the eldest brother's statement seems to make sense!" When I was a princess of Liao, I had seen the Japanese more than once. I have found that these people have a characteristic, they can be even more humble than the lowliest minions to those who are stronger than them, and yet they are more ferocious than any jackal, tiger and leopard when it comes to those who are weaker than them! Anyone hunts, but only the Japanese can torture and kill the prey, and anyone uses a stake or the like to test the sharpness of the sword, but only the Japanese like to test the sword with the corpses of the living and the killed, so they have a completely different term for the sharpness of the sword from other peoples, called 'carcass', and the meaning of a sword is to be able to cut off a human body with one blow! ”

Cheng Shijie's eyes showed a look of disgust, "Isn't this nation mentally abnormal?" ”

Yang Peng said with a smile: "Erlang's sentence is to the point, this nation is a neurotic nation out of ten!" So you can't take it for granted! Yelu Hanyu pursed his lips and smiled. Yang Peng looked at the sky, "It's not early, go back and rest." Cheng Shijie hugged his fists and said: "Please ask the eldest brother and sister-in-law to go back and rest, and the younger brother will look around." Yang Peng nodded, "Don't work too hard!" "Yes!"

Yang Peng and Yelu Hanyu walked into the cabin, snuggled and talked for a while, and then fell asleep.

The gaze turned to Yanjing.

Zhao Jinxi stood in her courtyard in a daze, her heart had already flown to Yang Peng's body thousands of miles away. Chai Yonghui walked in, and when he saw Zhao Jinxi's appearance, he couldn't help but smile. Gently turning behind Zhao Jinxi, he suddenly jumped in front of her and shouted. Zhao Jinxi, who was missing Yang Peng, was really startled, and couldn't help patting his chest and said angrily: "Yonghui, you are not too young, why are you still like a child?!" ”

Chai Yonghui asked with a smile, "Really scared?" ”

"Of course! Next time I'll let you taste it too! ”

Chai Yonghui teased: "I don't have a husband to think about, so I won't be on the way!" Zhao Jinxi blushed, and then sighed faintly, "I don't know how the big brother is doing now?" Isn't it already in Liao, is it safe now? "Don't worry! They'll be fine! The eldest brother is so cunning and treacherous, and Sister Yelu is so smart, who can deal with them! ”

Zhao Jinxi couldn't help but smile and glanced at Chai Yonghui, "Listen to what you say, as if they are going to do bad things!" Chai Yonghui smiled: "For the Khitan people, isn't it a bad thing?" ”

The two held hands and chatted while strolling, talking about some interesting things in Yanjing City recently, and talking about how cute the child Zhan Niangzi gave birth to recently. Speaking of this, Zhao Jinxi's heart couldn't help but rise with a very eager mood, eager to give birth to a child for his eldest brother! It doesn't have to be a boy, it's just as good for girls!

Chai Yonghui saw that Zhao Jinxi's face showed a look of happiness and longing, pursed his lips and smiled, and asked teasingly, "Are you thinking about him again?" Zhao Jinxi blushed slightly and sighed faintly.

Jiang Li walked into the courtyard with a small and delicate bamboo basket and came to Zhao Jinxi, "Madam, Princess Lihua sent someone to bring pastries. Zhao Jinxi and Chai Yonghui were a little surprised, and Chai Yonghui said jokingly: "Did Her Royal Highness the princess take the wrong medicine?" Zhao Jinxi looked into the basket and found that it was covered with a silk scarf. Picked up the silk scarf, it turned out to be a small basket of delicate pastries, with mung bean cake and osmanthus cake, sweet and fragrant.

Zhao Jin was puzzled and asked, "Why did Her Royal Highness the princess suddenly send this small basket of pastries?" ”

Jiang Li said: "During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the master asked me to send some moon cakes and rice wine, I think this is the princess to repay the master." ”

Zhao Jinxi had never heard of this, but now that he suddenly heard about it, he couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Big brother asked you to send moon cakes and rice wine?" Jiang Li nodded.

Chai Yonghui snorted, "He really has a heart!" ”

Zhao Jinxi sighed, "Big brother did the right thing, no matter what, Princess Lihua, a girl who came all the way and had no relatives, should take care of her!" ”

Yang Erya said anxiously: "Big brother, he must not just want to take care of her!" Zhao Jinxi smiled slightly, "That's normal!" Princess Lihua is also the wife of the eldest brother after all! Yang Erya hated that iron could not be made of steel and said: "There are enough women around her, do you still want to add women to his side?" Zhao Jinxi pursed his lips and smiled, and glanced at Yang Erya, "Speaking from the heart, I actually hope that you will also become one of us!" ”

Yang Erya was stunned for a moment, then made a big red face, and said: "You are rare to him, I am not rare to him!" ”

"Really? I heard that the eldest brother has a life-saving grace for Erya! Haven't we women always been 'life-saving graces should be promised'? Yang Erya was so ashamed that she said angrily: "If you tease me again, I'll go back!" Zhao Jinxi hurriedly grabbed Yang Erya's slender hand and begged: "Good sister, is it okay if my sister is wrong?" Don't leave your sister alone! He smiled and glanced at Zhao Jinxi.

"Madame, what should I do with this basket of snacks?" Jiang Li asked.

Zhao Jinxi thought for a while and instructed Xiao Fang: "Go and get a small plate." Xiao Fang answered and ran back to the embroidery building. A moment later, Xiao Fang came out with a small plate and a pair of chopsticks. I picked two pieces of each snack from the basket, and then walked into the embroidery building with this plate of snacks. Zhao Jinxi said to Jiang Li: "Give the rest to others." Jiang Li answered, ran out of the arch with the basket, called a female guard, handed her the small basket, and instructed: "Go to the kitchen and get two plates, put these snacks separately, and give them to Mrs. Yang separately." If the two ladies asked, they would say that Princess Lihua sent it. The female guard answered, took the bamboo basket and walked towards the cupboard.

Jiang Li returned to Zhao Jinxi. Zhao Jinxi said: "Come and don't be rude, since Princess Lihua sent something, we should naturally return the gift." After thinking about it, he instructed Xiao Fang, who had just returned to his side: "Go and bring a horse to the Shu brocade that my eldest brother gave me some time ago." Xiao Fang was taken aback, and said very distressedly: "Miss, that's what King Yan gave to Miss!" Zhao Jinxi said angrily: "Little Nizi, what are you talking about!" If you want to go, you can go! Xiao Fang pouted, turned around and ran into the embroidery building, and after a while, she came out with a colorful red brocade in her arms, and her little face was very reluctant.

"Miss!" Xiao Fang squirmed and handed Shu Jin to Zhao Jinxi. Zhao Jinxi took the Shu brocade, handed it to Jiang Li, and instructed: "Go and give it to Princess Lihua, don't say it's me, just say it's from the eldest brother." "Yes. The subordinates retired. Immediately, Jiang Li hugged Shu Jin and left.

Yang Erya said teasingly: "My sister is really virtuous!" Big brother can marry a wife like you, it's really a blessing that he cultivated in his previous life! Zhao Jinxi sighed, "That's all I can help my eldest brother." How I wish I could assist my eldest brother like Sister Yelu! ”

Yang Erya snorted, "Actually, that's not a big deal!" I think Sister Kim Hee is much stronger than her! Zhao Jinxi smiled faintly.

Jiang Li sent Shu Jin to the princess's mansion, and according to Zhao Jinxi's instructions, she only said that it was sent by Yang Peng, and then said goodbye and left.

Zhao Lihua gently stroked the Shu brocade in front of her, looking a little absent-minded, as if she was thinking about something. The palace maid beside her looked at the incomparably colorful Shu brocade in front of her and exclaimed: "This is the best Shu brocade!" It's not often seen in the palace! It seems that King Yan actually likes the princess very much! ”

Zhao Lihua's delicate face flushed slightly, but then she frowned.

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