Chapter 218, unexpected.
The emperor seemed to see Wang Yue's thoughts, and said with a smile: "This Yan King Yang Peng's martial arts can be said to be invincible in the world, even my first warrior of the Great Liao Kingdom, Ye Yu Hucheng, was once defeated under his men!" Hey, even though it's an enemy, I have to admire it! This Yan King is so powerful, and my little sister has fought against him more than once on the battlefield, although he can't defeat him, but it is still difficult to distinguish the winner within dozens of moves! ”
Wang Yue's eyes widened, "So powerful?!" The emperor smiled and nodded, "If Yang Peng is the world's number one tiger general, then my little sister must be the peerless heroine in the world!" Hey, in my big Liao country, except for the first warrior Ye Yu Hucheng, I'm afraid no one can defeat her! ”
Wang Yue blinked and said; "Then, isn't it a disguised refusal for the princess to make such a request?" The Emperor nodded, "Almost!" Hey, let's hope for a miracle! Wang Yue wondered why the emperor was in such a hurry to marry his sister, thinking so in his heart, but he didn't ask.
Later that day, Wang Yue returned to the State Guesthouse. When I met Yang Peng, I was very happy to tell him what I recommended for him today. Yang Peng was very surprised and hurriedly thanked him. Wang Yue smiled: "The eldest brother doesn't have to be polite to the younger brother!" Then he sighed, and said with some annoyance: "Originally, His Majesty the Emperor was ready to confer the title of eldest brother and Jin Song brother on the spot, but some ministers came out to obstruct it, saying that 'there is neither merit nor fame, and the people are not convinced to suddenly confer the title of official!'" ’。 Your Majesty had no choice but to give up this plan! Big brother, I'm really sorry, the little brother couldn't help with such a trivial matter! ”
"Don't say that, brother! As an elder brother, I really appreciate your deep friendship! Wang Yue smiled: "But the eldest brother doesn't have to be disappointed." There is still room for change in this matter, as long as the eldest brother achieves good results in the warrior conference, I can assure the eldest brother that His Majesty the Emperor will definitely reuse the eldest brother! ”
Yang Peng muttered in his heart, hugged his fists and said, "Thank you so much, brother!" "Big brother, don't say that! You and my brother, being a younger brother should be planned for the eldest brother! The younger brother is very much looking forward to the eldest brother being able to make a splash at the warrior conference and raise my prestige! ”
Yang Peng smiled and nodded. Yang Peng returned to his courtyard, saw Yelu Hanyu and Cheng Shijie, sat down, sighed, and said with a wry smile: "My younger brother Gaoli actually ran to the emperor to recommend us to the emperor!" Yelu Hanyu and Cheng Shijie were taken aback, Yelu Hanyu frowned and said, "This is not a good thing!" If you don't get it right, your identity will be exposed! ”
Yang Peng waved his hand, "Don't worry about this now." But my brother in Korea got me another thing, and he actually asked me to participate in the Warrior Conference! Yelu Hanyu frowned and said, "This may also reveal your identity!" Glancing at Yang Peng, "Big brother, you must not participate!" ”
Yang Peng nodded, "I understand." Don't worry too much at all. There is still almost a month to go until the Warrior Convention, and as long as we finish our business before then, we won't be attending any Warrior Convention. The two nodded. Yang Peng looked at Yelu Hanyu, "Little sister, you are the head snake here, in your opinion, is it possible to sneak into the palace and kill the emperor?" ”
Yelu Hanyu sat down beside Yang Peng, frowned and shook his head, "I'm afraid it's not feasible to sneak into the palace!" ”
"Why?" "There are two reasons for this. First, the Praetorian Guards guarding the periphery of the palace are tens of thousands of people, and there are thousands of elite guards around the harem, and it is difficult to sneak in silently. Second, even if you can infiltrate the harem silently, I'm afraid you won't be able to assassinate the emperor......"
Hearing this, Yang Peng and Cheng Shijie didn't understand, and Yang Peng asked, "Why can't you kill the emperor if you sneak in?" Yelu Hanyu smiled: "Big brother, you forgot that the emperor has countless harem beauties!" ……”
Yang Peng and Cheng Shijie suddenly realized, Yang Peng nodded and said: "I understand what you mean, we can't be sure where the emperor will sleep at night, so even if he sneaks into the harem, it will be difficult to assassinate!" In this way, the plan of action to infiltrate the palace can be ruled out! You can only wait for the emperor to leave the palace for assassination! We have no way of knowing the Emperor's itinerary. However, one thing is certain, that is, in a month, the emperor will definitely leave the palace and go to the suburbs to attend the Khitan biennial warrior conference. For now, this is our only chance! Actually, I was planning to use this opportunity to ambush Yari Takashi in the first place! ”
Cheng Shijie said: "I think we should do it outside the city!" Yang Peng and Yelu Hanyu nodded, and Yelu Hanyu said, "I agree!" Move outside the city to facilitate evacuation! Looking at Yang Peng, "But the emperor's subordinates must be very numerous, in addition to countless officials, attendants and onlookers, these will become an obstacle to assassination!" ”
Yang Peng smiled: "In my opinion, this is the best time for assassination!" Looking at Yelu Hanyu, "Do you remember when I asked Qian Lotian to smuggle a batch of goods to Zhongjing before we left?" Yelu Hanyu nodded, "I knew that incident must have something to do with this assassination!" Tell me what's going on? Yang Peng said with a smile: "You will know when the time comes!" Yelu Hanyu glanced at Yang Peng, "It's also a sale!" ”
Look back to Yanjing. Princess Lihua was really bored in the princess's mansion, so she changed into men's clothes at the instigation of the palace maid, and several people left the princess's mansion. Princess Lihua who came to the street felt like a bird that had flown out of the cage, and her mood was extremely comfortable, if it weren't for so many people on the street, she would definitely scream, she was so happy! A few people wandered around the streets, looking at the clay figures here, and at the masks over there, and there were some very novel things that Princess Lihua had never seen before, and only after asking did they know that they were rare goods shipped from the far west.
Time flew by, and before you knew it, it was noon. Princess Lihua, who had been playing all morning, couldn't help but be tired and hungry, so the group went to the nearest tavern and sat down around a table. The little second brother hurriedly walked over, hunched down and asked, "What do the young ladies want?" ”
Princess Lihua was very surprised and asked, "How do you know that we are women?" The little second brother smiled, "Look at what you said, a beautiful girl like you can recognize it no matter how disguised she is!" Princess Lihua felt that the other party's tone was light, and she was displeased, and shouted: "You are so bold, you dare to talk to Ben like this, talk to me!" The little second brother was taken aback and hurriedly apologized, "Miss is angry, we usually talk like this, I really don't know if it will anger Miss!" Princess Lihua's anger subsided, "Forget it, quickly offer the delicious food!" ”
Xiao Er accompanied him and asked carefully, "I don't know what Miss wants?" Princess Lihua thought for a while, "If I want to eat something lighter, I can have a 'Spring Flower and Autumn Moon', a 'Leifeng Sunset', and a pot of Snow Lotus Iced Tea." Xiao Er was dumbfounded, not understanding what the other party was talking about at all.
Princess Lihua saw that Xiao Er was still stupidly pestle there, and said angrily: "What are you still standing here for?" Xiao Er smiled bitterly: "I said aunt, you, what are you doing here?" Princess Lihua was very surprised and said, "It's not so simple? ”
Xiao Er shook his head, "It's been seven or eight years since the villain ran the hall, and it's the first time I've heard someone order these dishes!" Princess Lihua said angrily: "Look at your tavern is quite big, I didn't expect that there are not even such simple dishes, it's really a false appearance!" Xiao Er pursed his lips, "I said, Miss, you should order some small dishes that you can understand!" Princess Lihua thought about it, and asked a few more names, what 'Guang Cold Moon', 'Zhaojun out of the plug', Xiao Er was even more confused. Princess Lihua couldn't help but said angrily: "Forget it, you can just eat something!" When Xiao Er heard this, he hurriedly responded as if he had been pardoned, and ran down.
Princess Lihua frowned slightly and said, "It's really strange that there are no ordinary dishes!" A palace maid next to her whispered: "Princess, many things in the folk are different from ours. Princess Lihua was puzzled.
At this time, a table of big men not far away was singing with wine, and one of them stood there with a wine glass, shouting loudly: "Pride is in the sky, who can compete with me." Qingfeng is in hand, who can slay the dragon with a sword. The Central Plains is competing for deer, showing the true character of heroes. The wind rises in the world, and the mountains and rivers are swallowed by the air! ……”
Princess Lihua was taken aback, her eyes widened and she murmured, "This song is so domineering!" Then he looked at the people carefully, and couldn't help frowning. She thinks those big men are vulgar and wild, and they don't look like heroes! I secretly thought: This song must not be made by them, there must be someone else who does it, and the person who can make this kind of song must be a hero who has the world in mind, who will it be?
As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but get up and walked over, hugged his fists and said, "A few brothers are polite!" A few big men had just finished singing and were pouring wine into a big bowl, when they heard someone coming to talk, they all turned their heads. Seeing that it was a delicate men's woman, I couldn't help but light up my eyes. One of the particularly strong men smiled and hugged his fists and said, "Is there something wrong with the girl?" ”
Princess Lihua saw that the other party also saw through her own truth, and couldn't help but feel that this elaborate disguise was really useless!
"I just heard a few brothers sing extraordinary, I don't know who did it?" The big men showed a look of surprise, and the particularly strong big man smiled: "The little girl is really lonely and unheard, she doesn't even know the song Fu that our King Yan made at the wedding!" Princess Lihua was surprised, "This, this is King Yan's masterpiece?!" The big man nodded, "Exactly!" Princess Lihua subconsciously exclaimed, "This is impossible! How could he have done such a song?! ”
As soon as these words came out, several big men were unhappy, and the particularly strong big man said: "The little girl is not sensible! Don't you know that our King Yan is not only invincible in the world, but also very good at singing, and those so-called talents in the world are all tied together and can't match a little finger of King Yan! ”
Yang Peng, Cheng Shijie, and Yelu Hanyu followed Han Jinxin to Han Jinxin's room in an inn. I saw two large wooden boxes piled up in the room, just like the kind of big wooden boxes that ordinary people carry clothes and sundries.
"Master, everything is here." Han Jinxin pointed to the wooden box, and then opened the two wooden boxes, only to see packets of gunpowder wrapped in straw paper on top of the thick straw sawdust. Yelu Hanyu smiled: "It turned out to be gunpowder!" With these things, assassination is much simpler! Yang Peng smiled, picked up a pack of gunpowder, opened it and looked at it, nodded, and then rewrapped the gunpowder and put it back.
"Did you arouse the suspicion of the store?" Chen Xiao asked Han Jinxin. Han Jinxin said: "We only said that the clothes and fabrics were shipped from Goryeo, and the store did not suspect it at all!" ”
Yang Peng nodded, "Very good." Be careful to guard this place, and there must be someone present at all times, but you must not attract the attention of others. If something happens, ignite the gunpowder. "Yes."
At the same time, in the princess's mansion, Yayo Kannon receives a disturbing report, according to which she has a vague sense that someone is planning a conspiracy. Ya Yin Guanyin immediately summoned his cronies and ordered them to immediately gather their troops in the barracks outside the city and wait for orders. Several generals were ordered to leave.
Soon after, Ya Yin Kannon came to the military camp outside the city, and immediately led his army to inspect the various military camps around the capital. What is she looking for? She's investigating whether any troops have left the barracks without permission. Twenty-one barracks were investigated in succession, and nothing was unusual, until in the evening when they came to the twenty-second barracks to investigate, and they made a discovery. There are a total of 20,000 soldiers and horses stationed in this military camp, all of whom were surrendered by the Liao army, and the leading general is the former Liao general Xiao Gan. And at this moment, Xiao Gan was nowhere to be found, and at the same time, there were 10,000 soldiers and horses who were missing.
"You don't know where your general is?" Ya Yu Guanyin asked the lieutenant general with a cold face. The adjutant general hurriedly said: "The villain really doesn't know!" Two days ago, the general suddenly said that he had received an order from Shangfeng to carry out the mission. The villain asked what the task was, but the general reprimanded the villain for talking too much, and the villain did not dare to ask again. Soon after, the general left with 10,000 men and horses. ”
"No more news after that?" The adjutant general shook his head, "So far, I haven't received any news from the general, and I don't know where he is or what he is doing." Yu Guanyin said: "If your general comes back, or if there is news coming, immediately go to the princess's mansion and report to me!" "Yes, the villain remembered." Ya Yin glanced at the entire military camp, and then led his soldiers to leave. A few miles after leaving the barracks, Yari Kannon suddenly reined in his horse, and the army stopped.
Ya Yu Guanyin turned his head to the wolf poison and said, "You led a team of war horses to ambush nearby. If anyone leaves the barracks, immediately send someone to follow them, and see where they go and see who they see! Wolf Venom responded, and immediately led his five hundred war horsemen to hide in the dense forest on the side; They went to inspect the next barracks.
Look to the palace. More than a dozen royal families and generals who commanded troops abroad, such as Ye Hu Ge and Ye Hu Cheng, returned to the capital to participate in the Khitan biennial warrior festival. When night fell, the lanterns were on, and the emperor Ye Yu Longxu set up a banquet in the main hall to catch the wind and wash the dust for them. The banquet was staggered, and before I knew it, I was already fascinated. Ye Hu Ge and Ye Hu Cheng successively accused themselves of going to the toilet.
The Goryeo concubine only led one of her cronies to the shade of the imperial garden. The Goryeo concubine asked the maid to stay here, and she herself went into the dark shade of the trees and came to an arch. Pressing his throat into the arch, he asked, "Are you here?" Immediately, I saw a black shadow quickly come in from the arch, hugged the plump and sexy body of the Goryeo concubine into her arms, and kissed the red lips of the Goryeo concubine without saying anything, and the Goryeo concubine responded enthusiastically.
For a long time, Concubine Gao Li gently pushed away the black shadow and said angrily: "It's important to get down to business!" The dark shadow smiled, "Everything is ready!" Concubine Gaoli asked with some concern, "Are you sure?" The black shadow said: "It is impossible to be 100% sure of anything, but I have planned this matter very carefully, and I should be 80% sure!" Once I succeed, I will immediately lead my troops into the palace! It's up to you! The Goryeo concubine stared at the man, "Don't worry about me, but you must keep your promise!" ”
The black shadow hugged the waist of the Goryeo concubine, "Of course I will keep my promise!" Once I ascend to the throne, I will canonize you as the queen and cut half of the Central Plains to you Goryeo! But you have to do the edict well, otherwise everything will be in vain! Concubine Gao Li smiled and said, "I'm ready for this!" The Dark Shadow was pleasantly surprised, "Really?!" Concubine Gao Li nodded, "Just wait for your side to succeed, and my side can act!" Your army plus the emperor's edict, the subjects of the Liao State are not willing to obey, and it is not okay! The black shadow nodded and kissed the cheek of the concubine, "I have to go back to the front, otherwise it will arouse the suspicion of others!" You have to be extra careful, don't let the emperor see the clues, now is the last moment, don't give up your efforts at this moment! ”
Concubine Goryeo nodded. The dark shadow let go of the delicate hands of the Goryeo concubine, turned and burrowed into the archway, and disappeared into the thick night. The Goryeo concubine quickly came out of the shade and went back to the palace with the personal palace maid. Ya Kannon returned to the city in the middle of the night, and as soon as he returned to the city, he hurried to the palace.
The warrior meeting finally arrived, and early in the morning, Zhongjing was very lively inside and out, with warriors from all over the world dressed in various costumes and countless ordinary people gathering towards the basin outside the city as a venue for martial arts.
Bang bang ......! The sound of the huge gong to open the road came down at once, and people looked back one after another, and saw the royal flag coming like a cloud, and nearly a thousand guards on iron-clad war horses opened the road in front, majestic, followed by the emperor's eight horses and dragons. The curtain of the dragon chariot hung heavily, and the situation inside was completely invisible, which made people who wanted to see the dragon face a little disappointed, and after the dragon chariot, there were nearly a thousand guards and pro-army in the formation. This team is followed by countless palace maids surrounding the team of harem concubines and princesses, fragrant car beauties, colorful clouds fluttering, particularly eye-catching. Then the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty followed. The people moved out of the way to both sides, looking with excitement and curiosity at the huge procession that passed in front of them.
At this time, Yang Peng and the others were ambushing in the crowd, each of them was wearing black clothes under their coats, and each of them was full of various weapons. Long Yuan came over slowly, and kept approaching Yang Peng and them. Yang Peng glanced at Cheng Shijie opposite, who reached into the backpack behind him and prepared to take out the bomb. According to the prior agreement, the explosion of the bomb was the signal for action.
Shout! The whistling sound of an arrow suddenly came from behind Yang Peng. Yang Peng was taken aback, and hurriedly followed the prestige, and saw a war horse of thousands of people suddenly appeared in front, waving a scimitar and surging over, and at the same time, on the other side of the official road, there were also thousands of war horses rushing over. The incident happened suddenly, and most people did not react.
Yang Peng immediately realized that things had changed, and hurriedly shook his head at Cheng Shijie, and then took out a yellow turban and wrapped it on his head. It was also a signal that he would wear a yellow turban if the action was canceled due to unforeseen circumstances.
The surrounding guards saw the yellow turban and immediately dismissed the idea of doing it. At this moment, the two cavalry suddenly rushed into the crowd and slashed indiscriminately, killing many people who did not understand what was going on. The scene was chaotic, the people shouted and ran in all directions, trampling on each other, the scene was chaotic to the extreme, and those palace ladies and civil and military ministers were also chaotic.
Yang Peng and the others followed the panicked people towards the city gate, and Chen Xiao looked back as he ran. I saw that the sudden army had already swept the royal team to pieces, and then, a guy who looked like a general boarded the dragon chariot, and then dragged out a corpse. Yang Peng couldn't help but wonder: Is that Ye Longxu? He just died?
As if in response to Yang Peng, a deafening sound of trumpets and cannons suddenly came from around, and then I saw countless Liao war horses as if they had suddenly drilled out of the ground, surrounded in all directions. The attackers panicked and hurriedly broke through. A major battle ensued. At this time, Yang Peng and the others had already followed the crowd into the city gate, and they didn't know what was going on.
Yang Peng and Cheng Shijie converged, and then returned to the state guesthouse, while the others went back to their respective inns. Yang Peng Cheng Shijie hurriedly returned to the State Guesthouse, but found that Yelu Hanyu had not returned, and Yang Peng immediately became worried. According to the previous arrangement, Yelu Hanyu was preparing horses to meet them in a valley not far from the place of the incident, and now she is being drawn into the war!?
Yang Peng was worried that Yelu Hanyu would be in danger, so he would go out to look for it. At this moment, Jerod Hanyu actually returned. Yang Peng was overjoyed and hugged Yelu Hanyu. Yelu Hanyu smiled and said, "Are you worried that I will be in danger?" Yang Peng let go of Yelu Hanyu and was about to speak, but he caught a glimpse of the pair of Jin sisters coming out, so he changed his words: "There was an assassination incident, I'm really worried that you will be involved!" Yelu Hanyu glanced at the Jin sisters not far away, looked back, and said happily: "It's really happy to see the eldest brother so worried!" Yang Peng glared at Yelu Hanyu angrily.
Yang Peng took Yelu Hanyu's hand and turned around and walked towards the room, and when he passed by the Jin family sisters, he ordered, "Go and prepare some tea and snacks for us." The sisters answered and hurriedly ran down.
Yang Peng, Yelu Hanyu, and Cheng Shijie walked into the room and sat down separately. Yang Peng asked Yelu Hanyu and said, "Those horses are still in the valley?" Yelu Hanyu nodded, frowned, and said, "The incident happened suddenly, and there was no time to transfer." The horses were afraid that they would be discovered. Yang Peng said categorically: "Don't want those horses!" Yelu Hanyu said: "I think so too. It is very likely that the officers and soldiers will ambush the horses on the spot after discovering them, waiting for us to throw themselves into the net! ”
Yang Peng nodded, and then asked curiously, "Little sister, how did you get out of danger?" Given where you are, it doesn't seem like you can go back in time, huh? ”
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
