Chapter 228, Loyal Descendants,
Regarding the task entrusted by Zhao Heng to Chen Xuan, it was temporarily shelved by this living immortal.
Yang Peng is like an arhat with a golden body, and he is no longer Chen Jun, a living immortal, who can deal with it.
If Chen Tuan Lao Dao really forced Yang Peng and Daomen to die, it was really hard to say what the outcome would be. Chen Lu's reputation as a living immortal may also affect the people of Datong Mansion and Fuxing Mansion, causing some trouble to Yang Peng. But his name, when he arrived in Tianjing New Town, was really difficult to make.
Most of the influence of the Daomen is in the Central Plains. Outside the Central Plains, the influence is really low. If the Yang family escaped to the Ryukyus. The only one who can be qualified to go against the Yang family is Zhao Heng.
When the time comes, Daomen will not even have the qualifications to intervene, so he can only be beaten passively. Therefore, Chen Jian felt that before he and Yang Peng did not completely settle a grudge, everything had room for reversal and relayout. Moreover, Yang Peng's approach also greatly touched Chen Tong's old way.
Perhaps, we can learn from Yang Peng's practice and carry forward the Daomen more extensively. Therefore, under the premise that Chen Tuan Lao Dao did not discuss the results with other people in several veins. Chen Jian Lao Dao will not see Yang Peng again, nor will he make any action against Yang Peng. Although the relationship between Chen Tuan and the Zhao and Song royal families is not ordinary, it is not ordinary enough to put the Daomen in.
After all, the dynasty of flowing water, the thousand-year-old Daomen. In his heart, Daomen is far more important than the dynasty. ……
Bidding farewell to Chen Shu's old way, Yang Peng once again stepped on the road to the capital of Liao. After the Daomen incident, Yang Peng felt a lot more relaxed. Yang Peng didn't feel any surprise at the Huashan sword squire with strong martial arts he had met before. Yang Peng's current martial arts are difficult to meet opponents on the battlefield, but this does not mean that Yang Peng is invincible in the world.
There are people outside the people, and there are heavens outside the sky.
Yang Peng has a clear view of his martial arts, and his current martial arts can only be said to have reached the extreme of rigidity, turning from rigid to soft. For the word soft, the comprehension is not deep. Previously, Yang Peng and Fan Long had a fight, and Fan Long defeated him with his soft strength. Yang Peng's martial arts, if you want to reach the peak level, you must work flexibility.
When Yang Peng's martial arts reach the combination of rigidity and softness, and the millions of army war guns reach the unity of 100 styles, he may be able to be truly invincible in the world. Of course, it is impossible for Yang Peng to devote all his energy to martial arts. His ring is a battlefield, and the battlefield is not a place where individual bravery is the measure of victory or defeat.
The level of a person's martial arts, on the battlefield, can only determine your chances of survival, but it cannot determine the outcome of a battle. Yang Peng rode his horse for a day and a night in the wilderness. He was surrounded by people all the time. Although Yang Peng went out of Yanmen Pass single-handedly, it does not mean that he is unavailable outside Yanmen Pass.
The secret guards and the brocade guards, the power of the two departments has already penetrated most of the Liao country. In addition, Yang Dezheng's 30,000 rangers in Fuxing Pass also often circled in the Liaodi near Fuxing Pass and Yanmen Pass. As long as Yang Peng is willing, he can pull up a team of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses at any time.
"Da Da Da Da~" When Yang Peng rode a horse, walked out of Waqiao Pass, and arrived at the foot of a tall mountain peak, goose feathers and heavy snow fell in the sky. The weather in the north is much colder than in the south. Along with the goose feathers and heavy snow, there is also a fierce cold wind. The cold wind vigorously ran along the neckline and cuffs of Yang Peng's clothes, and drilled into Yang Peng's clothes one by one. Yang Peng had to tie his cuffs and trouser legs with ropes to reduce the encroachment of the cold wind.
The old horse snorted, snorted white gas in his nose, and walked very slowly. One man and one horse, when they walked halfway up the mountainside.
Suddenly. Halfway up the mountain, a man with a big waist and a round waist, carrying a mace and a fur jacket. "Phew! I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, if you want to pass from here, leave to buy road wealth. The man brandished his mace, and his roar was very majestic, and Yang Peng's ears were numb.
Like this kind of robbery, Yang Peng met no less than 100 people along the way. Some were killed by him, others by the Rangers. In short, Yang Peng really saw the chaos outside the gate. People say that there are three chaos outside the gate, the Liao soldiers who fight the grass valley, the bandits who rob the road, and the black shops that eat people and don't spit out bones.
The Liao soldiers who fought in the grass valley had been killed by Yang Dezheng's rangers and did not dare to leave the Xijing City. Now there are only bandits who rob the road and black shops that eat people and don't spit out bones. Yang Peng didn't encounter any black shops, because the black shops along the way have basically been taken over by Jinyi Wei and secret guards.
Only this bandit, he has encountered a lot. And it's the kind that can't be killed. Harvest one today, and it will grow tomorrow. It can be seen how chaotic it is outside this pass. Yang Peng has heard this kind of robbery words that seem to be wielding a mace, no less than ten times. The man looked at Yang Peng and didn't speak, thinking that Yang Peng was stupid.
Hey hey, smile. With a wave of his hand, a lot of people came out of the mountains and forests on both sides, ready to capture Yang Peng. Yang Peng drew a horizontal knife with his backhand and fought with these bandits. The number of bandits is not much, more than a dozen people, not enough for Yang Peng to stuff his teeth.
"What a handsome knife technique." The man wielding the mace saw Yang Qi's minions overturned by his subordinates with five by two, not only did he not get angry, but he praised it.
"I'll meet you." The man's walking posture is very special, he is obviously a reckless man, but he walks out of the majestic and unmanned momentum. As soon as the man made a move, the rest of the minions all got out of the way.
"Look at the stick!" The man waved his mace, and the wind whistled and smashed into Yang Peng. Yang Peng raised his eyebrows and stepped forward with a knife.
"Bang bang bang~" The two of them made seven moves, and the man's mace never fell on Yang Peng's body. On the contrary, it was Yang Peng's horizontal knife that cut two gaps in the man's body. The man glared and said in surprise: "Your martial arts are not weak. Jiao is not your opponent. Jiao Mou values you as a man, if you are willing to leave the money, Jiao will let you go. ”
"Jiao?" Yang Peng put away the horizontal knife with a strange face, stared at the man, and asked, "This is Basho Mountain?" Yang Peng remembered that the information handed to him by Jinyiwei included all the nearby forces. On the road that Yang Peng must pass, the most robust bandits are a group of strongmen in Bajiao Mountain.
There are only a few hundred strongmen in Basho Mountain, but they have created a great reputation in this area. The reason lies in the four mountain kings of Basho Mountain. The great king of Basho Mountain is called Yue Sheng, and he is called the Golden Knife. This person is not only strong in martial arts, but also familiar with the art of war, and keeps a Basho Mountain in good order. The second king is called Meng Hu. This person is also skilled in martial arts, familiar with the art of war, and good at making friends. The three kings are called Jiao Ting. He is also familiar with the art of war and is bold.
The four kings are called Yang Xing, and they are called Tiger Taibao. This person did not know the art of war, but he was strong in martial arts, so he sat in the fourth position on Basho Mountain. With these four people in the cottage and a group of well-trained minions, Basho Mountain can also be regarded as the grass realm in the northwest of the earthquake. For a group of bandits, Yang Peng has no good feelings.
What made him feel weird were the two mountain kings on the mountain. Jiao Ting Meng Hu. These two are also considered to be loyal martyrs. It stands to reason that these two goods still have a fate with the Yang family. If it weren't for Yang Peng who transferred Yang Dezheng to Datong, then these two goods would likely be recovered by Yang Dezheng and become Yang Dezheng's right and left hands. What Yang Peng didn't expect was that Yang Dezheng hadn't bumped into these two goods yet, but he bumped into them first. It's just that, as far as Yang Peng knows, this place is still five miles away from Bajiao Mountain.
How did you bump into it here? The man was stunned, shook his head and said, "It's not here, the one behind is." Yang Peng raised his eyebrows and said, "Then you are Jiao Ting?" The man was stunned and said, "Do you know me? Yang Peng looked left and right and said, "What about Meng Hu?" Didn't you say that Jiao is not separated from Meng, and Meng is not out of focus? ”
Jiao Ting was stunned: "How come you even know my brother?" Yang Peng put the horizontal knife on the horse's back, stabbed his hands into the cuffs, and said indifferently: "Call him out." Jiao Ting was stunned and whistled into the mountains and forests on both sides. Shaoqing, another man, led a group of people to appear in front of Yang Peng. Jiao Ting stared at Yang Peng and whispered to Meng Hu about what happened to Yang Peng.
Meng Hu looked sideways, stared at Yang Peng, muttered for a long time, and said with his fists clenched: "What is the name of this brother, where did you hear our brother's name?" "Meng Hu is good at making friends, so he always likes to interrogate when he meets powerful people.
After all, in this northwest green forest realm, Basho Mountain is not invincible. For example, Dujiazhai in Jinjiling, which is close to Youzhou, and Mukezhai, which is not far from Jinjiling, are not something they can afford to provoke. Yang Peng looked at Jiao Zan Meng Liang with a smile and said, "You two are really good. The size is big enough, and the martial arts should not be weak......"
Yang Peng's inexplicable words, Jiao Ting, Meng Hu was at a loss when he heard it. Jiao Ting asked Meng Hu angrily, "Didn't you run into a fool?" Meng Hu shook his head, frowned, and asked Yang Peng in a deep voice, "This brother, please also show your identity according to the truth, otherwise, don't blame our brother for being polite." Jiao Ting and Meng Hu subconsciously clenched their weapons and prepared to take down Yang Peng.
Yang Peng smiled and said, "You two, I have taken a fancy to you, and you will be my subordinates in the future." Give you a day to prepare. Someone will take you in tomorrow. ”
"Full of nonsense, isn't it crazy to lose your heart?" Meng Hu secretly waved his hand at Jiao Ting. The two of them were ready to take down Yang Peng.
Yang Peng took a step back, left the old horse, and retreated along the road he came. Jiao Meng and the others were left with blank faces. After Yang Peng went down the mountain, there were people from Jinyiwei who came to him. Yang Peng wrote an order and conveyed it.
With Yang Peng's order. The rangers outside the pass began to assemble rapidly. And Jiao Meng and the others led Yang Peng's old horse back to the cottage. As soon as I entered the house, I saw a strong man, shirtless practicing knives.
"Brother, what about knife practice?" Jiao Ting shouted. The strong man put away his knife and stood, and a breath of heat rose from his body. The strong man asked Jiao Ting, "When you go out today, what fat sheep did you meet?" Jiao Ting put down the mace in his hand and said dejectedly: "Don't mention it, when you go out today, you didn't touch the fat sheep, but you ran into a crazy person." I don't know where this man heard the name of our brother and threatened to take us in.
As a result, before I and Meng Hu could make a move, he scared him away. Before the man ran, he said something to give us a day to prepare. "In this village, the only person who can be called a brother by Jiao Ting is the king Jin Dao Yue. Yue Sheng listened to what Jiao Ting said and looked at Meng Hu. Compared with Jiao and Meng, Meng Hu is more cautious.
So Yue Sheng prefers to listen to Meng Hu's analysis. When Meng Hu saw Yue Sheng looking at him, he said in a low voice, "Brother, that person has no beginning or end in his speech." and he had no retinue, much less money. The younger brother guessed that this person should just be talking big about himself to embolden himself. ”
Yue Sheng nodded and said, "That's good." Now the situation in the northwest is turbulent, and the two families of Zheyang have risen strongly. The Northwest has changed from a three-legged situation to a four-legged situation today. This is not a very stable situation.
Yang Dezheng had stirred up the civil strife in the Liao State before, and forced Yelu Xiuge, the king of the Southern Court of the Liao State, to withdraw from the army. Once Yelu Hugo is allowed to stabilize the situation in the Liao State, he will definitely move his troops south. When the time comes, the big war will be together, and with the strength of our brothers, it will be even more difficult to survive. ”
Jiao Ting snorted: "If you want me to say, Yang Dezheng is a real person." With their own strength, they were stunned to occupy the land of three states in the land of three wars in the northwest, claim the king and hegemon, and be the emperor of the soil. is also the Emperor of the Soil, the Emperor of the Soil, who sits much longer than us. Yue Sheng glared at Jiao Ting and said coldly, "What do you know." Don't look at the infinite scenery of the Yang family, in fact, it is dangerous behind the scenes. In the eyes of the Song, Liao, and Dangxiang, the Three Kingdoms. The Yang family is a sarcoma that grows on the body.
As long as the war between Song and Liao has a result. The Yang family will be quickly eradicated. Meng Hu raised his eyebrows and said, "Big brother, do you mean that the Great Song Dynasty can defeat the Liao people and recover the sixteen states of Yanyun?" ”
Yue Sheng said firmly: "Definitely can." Jiao Ting and Meng Hu glanced at each other, nodded and said, "That's good, the Bajiao Mountain we occupy is also a good place." When the time comes, maybe I can help Da Song. Although the brothers are just reckless, they have their own ambitions in their hearts.
This is incomparable to other bandits. Yue Sheng called Yang Xing, and the four brothers were in the Juyi Hall, drinking and talking about ideals and ambitions. I didn't sleep until the moon rose tomorrow.
Next. When the four brothers came to their senses, they sensed that something was wrong.
"It's ...... What's the situation? I saw the four of them, tied to the pillars of the Righteous Hall. The brothers in the cottage were also tied up and thrown on the ground. Groups of soldiers occupied the entire Justice Hall.
The generals at the head were staring at them with a smile. "Bajiao Mountain's big master Yue Sheng, the second master Meng Hu, the third master Jiao Ting, and the fourth master Yang Xing...... It's the four of you, right? ”
The general at the head was dressed in leather armor, wearing a strange leather hat, and two knives at his waist, one long and one short, the long one was a horizontal knife, the short one was a scimitar, and he stepped on a pair of cowhide boots. The cowhide boots are now stepping on the chair that symbolizes the first place in the Basho Mountain Cottage. Jiao Ting and Yang Xing struggled hard, but they couldn't break free from the rope made of cowhide bands soaked in water.
"Let go of my ......", "Sneak attack behind your back, what kind of hero is you, you have the ability to fight alone with your master......" "......"
The two shouted, but the generals turned a deaf ear. It seems to be waiting for them to give him a satisfactory answer. Yue Sheng glared at him and roared, "Third brother, fourth brother, stop screaming." Yue Sheng looked at the general led by him, and said with a hideous face: "A certain family is Yue Sheng, who are you?" Report the name, so that a certain brother can understand the death. ”
The leading general grinned and said softly: "In the second regiment of the lower cavalry army, the third battalion is Hoktu." ”
"Rangers?" Meng Liang's pupils shrank, and he said in a deep voice: "It turns out that you are from the rangers, no wonder you can quietly touch Basho Mountain and capture our brothers." Meng Liang raised his head, stared at the general at the leader, and said, "Our brothers from Bajiao Mountain, and the people of your rangers have always known that the well water does not interfere with the river water, why do you want to attack us?" Hoktu shook his head and smiled, "The one who captured you didn't belong to my rangers. The green forests of Basho Mountain in the northwest are also famous. This Basho Mountain is also full of traps for you. We, the Rangers, are orthodox soldiers. I'm not good at sabotaging agencies.,I don't know how to assassinate and sabotage.。
Someone else has taken you. I was only ordered to take you back to the outside of Yanmen Pass and hand you over to the reserve camp of the Youzhou Yanwang Iron Cavalry. Yue Sheng frowned and looked at Meng Hu with a puzzled expression. He still didn't understand why everything had changed after waking up overnight. Yesterday, they were still the mountain kings who were high up and shocked the green forest. Today, he is a prisoner.
Meng Hu lost his voice and said, "Could it be that the person who said yesterday that he was going to take us in is not crazy?" Jiao Ting was stunned and said, "Impossible, right?" Yue Sheng's brows furrowed even deeper. Yang Xing looked dazed and asked, "What's going on?" Hoktule stared at Meng Liang and said, "You're not too stupid......
Yue Sheng glanced at Meng Hu quietly, Meng Liang understood, and asked, "This general, our brothers are just a group of small characters who have no ambitions and fall into the grass. Why bother you to raise up the people?
Yesterday we did rob those who should not have been robbed, and we got into trouble. Our brothers admit it. In this stockade there is gold and silver that our brothers have accumulated for many years, and I will give them to you. Please also ask the general to raise his noble hand and spare our brothers. ”
"Hahaha...... Huo Ketu smiled loudly and sighed with emotion: "The gold and silver in your hands are really tight below." However, this time, I can't let you go. First, you are the ones who will be sent to the Iron Cavalry of the King of Yan. Anyone who can enter the Yan King's Iron Cavalry Army, every one of them is a soldier who has been strictly screened. You can be chosen, it is really your creation.
I think that at the beginning, I participated in the assessment of the Iron Cavalry four times, and they were all eliminated. And you have leapt ahead of the others. As long as you can pass the future training and assessment of the Iron Cavalry. Your status will be higher than the below. When I see you below, I have to give gifts.
Second...... This is also the most important point...... "The four of Meng Hu pricked up their ears and listened carefully. Huo Ketu whetted the appetite of the four of them before he said slowly: "The order to recruit you into the Iron Cavalry was personally issued by King Yan. Do you think that as a soldier under the command of King Yan, can you disobey King Yan's orders? ”
"King Yan?" Meng Hu and the four of them were stupid. Jiao Ting was stunned and said, "Let's ...... Our brothers were remembered by King Yan...... Hey...... King Yan has also heard of our brother's name......" Meng Hu glared at Jiao Ting helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "My good brother...... I'm afraid that the person we robbed yesterday was Yang Peng, the king of Yan......"
"That crazy one?" Jiao Ting's eyes widened in disbelief. Yue Sheng was a little dumbfounded, and Yang Xing was a little confused. "What did you two do?"
Yang Peng, the king of Yan, is a famous existence in the Great Song Dynasty. If only he didn't rob others. You're going to rob him? Isn't this going to catch lice on the tiger's head? Meng Hu not only had a bitter face, but even his mouth was a little bitter. Our brother just robbed an old horse.
Why did you still put yourself in it? The four brothers glanced at each other and resigned themselves to their fate. If they don't accept their fate, they can't do it, and now it's useless for them to struggle. One battalion of rangers is enough to press the people in their cottage to the ground and rub them hundreds of times.
After Hoktu confirmed the identities of the four men. ordered his soldiers to put the four on horseback. Then he ordered someone to tie all the other bandits in Basho Mountain into a string with ropes and send them to Yanmen Pass. Nowadays, in Datong Mansion and Fuxing Mansion, they are engaged in large-scale construction, but there are laborers everywhere. These bandits are sent to Fuxing Mansion to be able to use their waste.
As for the belongings in the cottage, they have long been looted by the rangers. Looting has become one of the essential skills of the rangers. The cottage in Basho Mountain was also destroyed by fire after it was looted and emptied. And Yang Peng, the initiator, is riding an old horse at the moment, withstanding the wind and snow, swaying into Xijing Datong in Liao State.
The western capital of Liaoguo used to be a prosperous town. But since Yang Dezheng captured Shengzhou and sent rangers to plunder everywhere. This Xijing City has become a city controlled by soldiers and horses. Half of the vendors that can be found everywhere in the city have disappeared, and more are filled with Khitan soldiers.
Nowadays, there are only some people with backgrounds who can do business in this Xijing City. The newly opened Tianjing New City Money Bank is one of the businessmen with backgrounds.
In the eyes of the Liao people, Tianjing New City was a slave country and a big financier. With the continuous increase of trade between the two countries in southern Liaoning. Tianjing New City has purchased more than a million slaves from the Liao Kingdom. This brought millions of taels of money to the Liao State. Many Liao nobles who were about to decline made a fortune by selling Han people in Liao.
Although the gradual decline of the Liao Han people in the Liao State had a great impact on the planting industry of the Liao State, the imperial court also repeatedly banned the trading of the Liao Han people. However, many Liao nobles who wanted to make a fortune still took risks and continued to do business behind the scenes of the southern country.
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
