After talking to Yang Yanzhao, Yang Peng couldn't help but think: The sixth brother can be said to be both wise and brave, can Yang Yanzhao in history really not see the tricks played by the imperial court? I'm afraid not necessarily, he must have seen Zhao Heng's intentions at that time, but on the one hand, he wanted to protect the righteousness of the monarch and ministers, and on the other hand, he wanted to expel the Tartars from the Central Plains and restore the rivers and mountains, he had to find a balance between the two. His deep emotions made him unable to give up his intention to go on the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, but his long-term Confucian education prevented him from betraying the Zhao and Song dynasties. However, his efforts alone were useless, and Yang Linggong's affairs turned all the previous struggles of the Yang family into flowing water. Some people say that at this time, Yang Yanzhao can rebel and be independent, but Zhao Song has no way, why can't he create a dynasty of his own? Therefore, Yang Yanzhao is a fool and loyal. However, the truth is probably not so simple, Yang Yanzhao at that time may have also revealed his dissatisfaction with the dynasty, if it is just foolish loyalty, why should Zhao Heng be dismissed, and Gao Hu is not dead? On the other hand, Yang Yanzhao may also have feared that his break with the imperial court would eventually give the Khitans a chance to take advantage of the fishermen, so he chose to sacrifice himself. However, no matter what Yang Yanzhao is like in history, Yang Yanzhao in this era should be reborn.

After two days on the Great Wall Ridge, Yang Peng set off to return to Yan'an Mansion. Halfway through, I saw two knights galloping from a distance, the leader was a secret guard who stayed in Yan'an Mansion, and the person who followed him, although he was dressed in civilian clothes, but his temperament was not a common man, he must be a soldier from the army.

Yang Peng knew that there might be something urgent, so he reined in his horse, raised his right hand, and the team stopped. In the blink of an eye, the two of them galloped to a dozen steps in front of them, were stopped by the secret guards, and then turned over and dismounted, and ran to Yang Peng. The hidden killer hugged his fist and said: "Qiyu master, this person's name is Zhetai, from Jingzhao Mansion, and he has something important to ask to see the master!" When Yang Peng heard that it was from Jingzhao Mansion, he was very surprised and looked at that Li Tai.

Zhe Tai stepped forward and hugged his fists and said: "Zhe Tai has seen His Royal Highness King Yan!" Yang Peng smiled and said, "No need to be polite, do you have something to do with me?" Zhe Tai said: "The villain is the general of the Shaanxi and Gansu envoys Liu Xi, and he has come to meet King Yan on the order of Lord Liu Xi, and there is a very important matter to inform King Yan!" Then he looked at the people around Yang Peng, and the meaning was no longer clear, hoping that Yang Peng would be able to retreat. Yang Peng said: "You don't have to scruples, all of them here are my cronies." ”

Zhe Tai responded, and then said: "Zhao Song has no way, His Royal Highness King Yan has already taken charge of the mandate of heaven, Lord Liu Xi is willing to raise thousands of miles of land in Weinan to serve King Yan, I hope King Yan can accept it!" ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Yang Erya and others were taken aback, but even Yang Peng was very surprised, he originally thought that at most Liu Xihui would lead the army to take refuge, but he didn't expect him to say such a big thing, and he actually wanted to take refuge in Weinan for thousands of miles! Why did he do that? The land of Weinan is vast, and the imperial court stationed more than 100,000 troops there, although Liu Xi is called Shaanxi and Gansu to recruit envoys, but in fact, the army he came to control was only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Jingzhaofu; Since he dared to speak out, it must not be groundless, he may have persuaded several other generals, but even so, I am afraid that this matter will not succeed, unless I Yanyun sends troops to assist!

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel moved, and said to Na Zhetai: "As far as I know, although Lord Liu is nominally the envoy of Shaanxi and Gansu, and the armies of Shaanxi and Gansu are under his control, but in fact, he can only mobilize the garrison of Jingzhao Mansion, I don't know why Lord Liu dedicated the entire land of Weinan to me?" ”

Zhe Tai hurriedly took out a letter, held his hands high, and said, "This is Lord Liu's handwritten letter, please look at it from King Yan." Yang Peng glanced at Yang Erya, who immediately rode forward, bent down to take the letter from your wife's hand, and turned around to hand it to Yang Peng. Yang Peng opened the attribute, took out the letterhead, unfolded it and looked at it, frowning slightly, revealing a thoughtful look. Yang Erya on the side saw Yang Peng's appearance and knew that he was thinking about things again.

After a while, Yang Peng said to Zhe Tai, who was full of expectations: "You go back and tell Lord Liu, just say that I am very happy and welcome him to join us Yanyun, and after the matter is completed, I will appoint him as the envoy of Weinan Xuanwei, and all the generals under his command will also have their own rewards." Zhe Tai bowed with great joy: "On behalf of Lord Liu, the last general would like to thank Yan Wang Hongen!" ”

Yang Peng said: "What he did was very risky, and I couldn't stand idly by, after you go back, tell Lord Liu, and say that I will transfer an elite cavalry to secretly cross Weishui and enter the vicinity of Jingzhao Mansion, if necessary, this cavalry can assist him." ”

"Yes, the Admiral remembered. But how do we get in touch with this cavalry? Yang Peng said: "They will take the initiative to find you." "Yes. If King Yan has no other orders, the last general will retire! ”

Yang Peng nodded. Zhetai bowed down to his horse, turned and turned on his horse, turned his horse's head, and galloped away. Yang Peng looked at the figure that was quickly moving away, and his face was thoughtful. Turning his head to Wang Kaidao: "Immediately send someone to send an order to occupy the Jin Kingdom, and let him lead his Xuanjia war cavalry to Yan'an Mansion to receive orders." Wang Kai clenched his fists and promised, turned his head to give orders to the secret guards under him, and then saw two secret guards galloping away in the northeast direction on horseback.

After seeing Yang Peng, Zhetai rushed back to Jingzhao Mansion day and night with excitement. Liu Xi heard that Zhe Tai was back, so he hurriedly came to the hall to meet him, and as soon as he saw Zhe Tai, he asked several questions in his heart: "Have you seen King Yan?" What kind of person is King Yan? What is the attitude of King Yan towards us? ”

Zhe Tai hugged his fists and said: "My subordinates saw King Yan and handed over the adult's handwritten letter to King Yan. King Yan is very happy with the adult's decision, and has promised that after the matter is completed, he will be crowned as the envoy of Weinan Xuanwei! ......" Liu Xi was overjoyed, rubbed his hands and said excitedly: "Okay! King Yan is the King of Yan in the end, he is courageous! ”

Zhe Tai said again: "King Yan said that he would send an elite cavalry to secretly enter the vicinity of Jingzhao Mansion in order to respond to the adults when necessary, and at that time, they will take the initiative to contact the adults!" ”

Liu Xi smiled and said, "King Yan is too cautious!" What else can be wrong with this! "Look at Zhetai," what else did King Yan say? Zhetai shook his head, "There is nothing else." Liu Xi thought for a while, and said to Zhetai: "You have worked hard, go down and rest." Zhetai clenched his fists and promised, and ran down.

Liu Xi stood in the middle of the hall with a thoughtful expression, suddenly smiled proudly, and then raised his head and shouted; "Someone!" An officer immediately rushed in, bowed down and clenched his fists, and said, "What do you command?" Liu Xi asked, "Have all the invitations been sent?" "If you want to reply to your lordship, the invitations have already been sent." Liu Xi nodded, pondered for a moment, and advised: "If General Sun comes, notify me immediately." "Yes."

Just then, another officer hurried in and reported, "My lord, that man is here again!" Liu Xi's expression immediately became gloomy, and he walked out of the gate quickly, and the officer immediately followed. The two of them entered the backyard through the arch one after the other, and as soon as they entered, they saw an officer greet them, "My lord,"

Liu Xi stopped and asked with a gloomy face, "Where are the dog men and women?" The officer said: "In Mrs. Li's embroidery building, Mrs. Li's maid is guarding the door." Liu Xi immediately walked towards a small courtyard behind the bamboo forest in front. Two officers followed.

The three of them came all the way through the bamboo forest, and the maid who was guarding the door and watching the wind suddenly saw the old man leading the two officers to come straight towards him fiercely, and was taken aback, and hurriedly turned around and ran in. Seeing this, Liu Xi immediately said: "You guys go in quickly, don't let the adulterer run away!" The two officers answered, and immediately spread their footsteps and ran forward. Where can the servant girl run past the two officers, before she has time to run up the steps in front of the embroidery building, she was caught up by the two officers, and fell to the ground, and the servant girl was just about to shout, when she heard an officer say viciously: "If you dare to make a noise, I will kill you!" The words that had already reached his mouth were stuck, and at this moment, another officer had already pushed the door and entered the embroidery building.

Then the maidservant who was pressed to the ground heard the footsteps of the swift upstairs, followed by the exclamations of a man and a woman upstairs, followed by a short fight, followed by a loud bang and then silence.

Liu Xitie came to the embroidery building with a blue face, glanced at the maidservant with a dead face, snorted, and then walked into the embroidery building. I went up the stairs and came to the second floor, only to see a slick man lying on the ground, with his buttocks facing the sky, being pointed at his neck by the officer's back, not daring to move at all, trembling all over, Liu Xi recognized him, isn't he the newly hired Master Li in the house, I didn't expect that he invited a thief into the house, and he actually stole his wife and put on such a boss's green hat! Turning his eyes to the bed, Liu Xi couldn't help but feel a pain in his chest, only to see his beloved concubine Li Shi was shrinking in the corner of the bed, holding the quilt, her face was discolored, and her hair was scattered and draped. Seeing such a scene, the fool also knew what good things the two of them were doing just now, but he was afraid that when the officer broke in, the two of them were still ******** and completely forgetful!

"Good! Good! Good! Liu Xilian said three good words, and Li and the man were only frightened. Liu Xi can't wait to break the two dogs and men into pieces! At this moment, an officer rushed up, glanced at Li Shi who was shrunk on the bed, couldn't help swallowing his saliva, ran to Liu Xi's side, and whispered: "My lord, General Sun is here!" Liu Xi thought: The big thing is important, and there is no need to deal with the matter of the dog man and woman in a hurry. As soon as he thought of this, he said to the two officers: "Separate the dog man and woman, and deal with it after the big event is over!" The two officers clenched their fists in agreement.

Liu Xi snorted and walked away. Later, the officer who came up was about to go to the bed to drag people, and the other officer said angrily: "You are stupid, you touched Mrs. Li, and the lord can spare you?" The officer was stunned, "Didn't your lord let us take these two people down and lock them up?" ”

"Although my lord is angry, I am afraid that there are still three points of affection, and you and I must not offend Mrs. Li too much! Call the two maids over and let Mrs. Li put on her dress first. Liu Xi hurriedly came to the study and saw Sun Hao. Seeing Liu Xi's expression, Sun Wei asked puzzledly, "Why is the adult's face so ugly?" Is something happening? ”

Liu Xi sat down, as if he had collapsed, sighed, and said sadly: "Could it be that I, Liu Xi, created sin in my previous life, so I encountered such a thing in this life?" Sun Wei was confused, "What are you talking about?" His heart moved, and he hurriedly asked, "Is there something wrong with what we are planning?" Liu Xi waved his hand, "It's irrelevant, it's irrelevant!" Seeing Sun Hao's puzzled expression, he explained with a wry smile: "It's just a matter of wives and concubines, General Sun doesn't have to worry!" Sun Wei suddenly realized and said with a smile: "That's the case! Then he said angrily: "My lord, now is a critical juncture, don't delay the business because of trivial matters at home!" Otherwise, you're going to die! ”

Liu Xi nodded, "I know the severity, General Sun doesn't have to worry." Looking at Sun Hao, "General Sun, how did you do what I asked you to do?" Sun Wei said: "My army has secretly driven to various key roads leading to Xichuan, and at the same time as the adults make a move, my army will cut off the connection between Weinan and Xichuan." ”

Liu Xi advised: "This matter is very important, before we can fully control Weinan, we must keep the Xichuan Song army completely in the dark, otherwise this matter will be in trouble!" If you and I can't do this thing beautifully, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to get ahead when we get to Yanyun! Sun Wei nodded, looked at Liu Xi, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord, this matter is on me, and it is guaranteed to be foolproof!" Then he frowned, "It's on the adult's side, don't make a mistake!" Liu Xi said: "I have deduced this matter countless times, and I don't think there will be any problems!" ”……

In the middle of the night, Master Li, who was locked in the firewood room, was so anxious that he paced back and forth, unable to sleep, and couldn't help but tremble at the thought of the punishment he might receive. You have to find a way to escape! This thought welled up in Master Li's heart. So I walked quickly to the back of the door, tried to push it, but there was a sound outside, and I couldn't push it open at all, obviously the door was locked, "What are you doing?" Want to escape? Be honest! Outside, a soldier screamed viciously. Master Li was shocked, and hurriedly retreated, secretly panicking: How can this be good? How good is that? The door is locked, and there are people guarding it, and I can't escape it!

sat down dejectedly, thinking of the scene of being seduced by the Li family, and couldn't help scolding: "It's all to blame on that ****, if she hadn't seduced me, how could I have ended up like this!" However, thinking of the coquettish attitude of the Li family and the charming body, the body reacted involuntarily and subconsciously swallowed saliva. reacted and slapped himself angrily.

He felt that it was really uncomfortable to wait for death like this, so he stood up again, and looked around to see if there was any other way out, and by the moonlight, he found that there was a window in the firewood room, but it was more than a foot high from the ground, and there was an iron bar on it, and it was impossible to get out of it unless he could turn into a mouse. There is no way, I have to find another way out, the whole firewood room is very large, almost fifty or sixty square meters, the only small window is on the left wall, and under the right wall there are countless firewood, grass and other sundries, there is no place to escape.

Master Li was not discouraged, wondering if there would be an escape channel behind the firewood and grass, and he was also unwilling to let go of any hope in a hurry, so he ran to the firewood and grass pile and gently moved the bundle of firewood and grass out. I was so tired that I didn't know how long I had been busy, so I finally removed the large pile of firewood and grass, and then hurriedly went in to look for it. By the faint moonlight streaming in through the window, he saw that the planks at the foot of one of the walls seemed to be loose. The whole person immediately became excited, and it felt as if he had seen the hope of escape. Hurriedly went over and tried to pull it, but the plank was obviously rotten, and it was broken with a soft snap.

Master Li raised his heart to his throat, for fear that the soldiers outside the door would hear the movement and rush in, but after waiting for a while, there was no movement. Master Li breathed a sigh of relief, continued to pull the wooden board next to him, and pulled off three pieces in succession, and finally revealed a hole at the foot of the wall that could be passed through. Seeing that escape was in sight, Master Li climbed in impatiently with excitement. escaped from the firewood room, Master Li did not dare to delay, and then escaped from the Zhaoqiu Mansion under the cover of darkness to avoid the guards.

When he came out of the palace, he did not dare to go home, but ran to a hidden place near the city gate and hid, preparing to escape from the city as soon as the city gate was opened in the morning. He had already planned to flee to Xichuan to expose the conspiracy of Liu Xi and others to plot rebellion, and if he exposed such a big conspiracy, the court would definitely reward him greatly, and this time he might be blessed by misfortune! couldn't help but think of the coquettish Mrs. Li, couldn't help but swallow her saliva, and muttered: "When Liu Xi is defeated, maybe I can get what I want!" Thinking of this, I couldn't help but be impatient.

Thinking wildly, I couldn't help but fall asleep. This Master Li obviously already knew about Liu Xi's conspiracy, how did he know about it? It turned out that he often went in and out of the Zhaofu Mansion as a master, and a few days ago, when he came to report to Liu Xiyu, he accidentally heard the conspiracy between Liu Xi and Sun Hao, and he was just scared at that time, for fear that Liu Xi would find out that he had learned the secret and it would be unfavorable to him, but now he wanted to use this matter as a basis for his advancement.

Early the next morning, as soon as the city gate was opened, Master Li ran out of the city gate, and after identifying the direction, he ran straight to Xichuan. Then, before he had gone far, he saw a general leading dozens of soldiers from the official road in the distance. Master Li knew him, he was immersed in the Zhaofu to see, the general's name was Guo Hao, he was the deputy envoy of Shaanxi and Gansu, as far as he knew, this person was in charge of nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses, and he was very at odds with Liu Xi, who was the envoy, and often had disputes over some things.

Master Li thought: At this moment, Liu Xi may have found out that I have escaped, and I am searching everywhere, I have no money, no food and no horses, I am afraid that if I can't escape far, I will be chased and arrested by his people, this time I am arrested, how can I still live? This Guo Hao and Liu Xi have always been at odds, so I might as well report it to him so that I can get his protection.

As soon as he thought of this, he immediately greeted Guo Hao and his party and stopped in front of Guo Hao's horse. Guo Hao saw that someone suddenly stopped him, his brows furrowed slightly, he restrained his horse, glanced at the man, and saw that he was very embarrassed when he was disheveled, and he felt strange in his heart.

Master Li knelt down and bowed: "General Guo, the villain has seen the general in the Zhaofu Mansion, and the villain has something big to tell the general." Guo Hao felt that this person was indeed a little familiar, but he had no impression of what his name was, and he didn't pay attention to what he said, "What's the matter with you?" ”

Master Li said: "General, please take a step to speak." Guo Hao thought about it, nodded, turned the horse leader and led his soldiers to the pavilion for passers-by to rest, Master Li stood up and hurriedly followed.

The group came to the pavilion, Guo Hao turned over and dismounted and walked into the pavilion, Master Li followed, and the relatives and soldiers guarded around the pavilion.

Guo Hao sat down at the stone table, "Say it." Master Li said: "As soon as the villain speaks, the general will definitely be shocked." The general must not know that Liu Xi and Sun Wei are plotting to rebel against the imperial court! ”

Guo Hao was taken aback and looked at Master Li, "You said that Lord Liu and General Sun conspired to rebel against the imperial court?" How is this possible? Master Li said urgently: "It's true, this is all what the villain heard and saw with his own ears!" Guo Hao sneered: "You control Lord Liu and General Sun against the imperial court, it is not trivial, if it is fake, do you know what the consequences are?" ”

"Of course the villain knows! The villain never slandered the two of them! Guo Hao said: "Since you said that they rebelled against the imperial court, how do they plan to rebel against the imperial court?" Master Li said: "The specific villain doesn't know, but the villain knows that they plan to take refuge in Yanyun!" Guo Hao's heart moved, he thought for a moment, and then raised his head and asked Master Li: "What is your identity?" Master Li said: "The villain was originally a master of Liu Xi. ”

Guo Hao remembered that he had indeed seen this person in Liu Xi's mansion, and thought that what he said was true, and said: "This matter is extraordinary, if Liu Xi finds out that you are missing, he will definitely send people to search for you, once he catches him back, your little life will be over!" Master Li hurriedly bowed: "Please save me, general!" ”

Guo Hao said: "Naturally, I can't see death without help, not to mention that you have made such a great contribution to the imperial court!" I will send someone to escort you back to my station, with my protection, even if Liu Xi learns your whereabouts, there is nothing to be done! Master Li thanked happily: "Thank you, General!" Thank you, General! ”

Guo Hao advised: "This matter is very important and widely implicated, you must not tell others about it, I will deal with this matter!" Master Li said: "The villain obeys the general's orders!" Guo Hao said: "You get up." Master Li stood up. Guo Hao raised his voice outside: "Someone! Immediately, two pro-soldier officers came in, clasped their fists and said, "What does the general command?" Guo Hao looked at the person on the left and said, "Zhang Biao, you take two people to protect this master back to our station." That Zhang Biao glanced at Master Li and felt inexplicable, but he didn't ask anything more, and promised.

Guo Hao said to the officer on the right again: "Ge Feng, you take the master down to change a set of clothes." The officer answered, and Master Li hugged his fists and thanked him, and followed Ge Feng down.

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