Yang Peng nodded, "What you said makes sense. ”

Yelu Hanyu said: "This queen mother, nine times out of ten, she is planning something!" Yang Peng thought of the relationship between the Empress Dowager and the current lord of Goryeo, Wang Yue, frowned and said, "Maybe she is trying to win people's hearts for the King of Goryeo," and then shook his head, "It's not like, she didn't mention Wang Yue's name just now, and it's not like she is trying to win people's hearts for Wang Yue!" Yelu Hanyu nodded. Yang Peng pondered: "Gathering people's hearts is nothing more than to strengthen her own power, why should she, as the queen mother of Liao, strengthen her own power?" He smiled, "It's interesting!" ”

The little beggar had already finished eating the bowl of barbecue that Yang Peng gave him, and came to Yang Peng and Yelu Hanyu with the empty bowl, looking pitiful and unfinished.

Yang Peng asked, "Do you still want to eat?" The little beggar nodded vigorously. Yang Peng gave him another bowl and handed it to him, and the little beggar thanked him again and again, returned to the corner with the bowl, and sat on the ground again and ate it. Yang Peng asked Yelu Hanyu with some uncertainty: "Do you say that what this Queen Mother has done will hinder our affairs?" Yelu Hanyu shook his head, "I don't know. We have no idea what the Queen Mother is trying to do, and we can't judge the effect of what she is planning to do to us! ”

Yang Peng nodded, frowned, and said, "Now our biggest problem is that we know too little information!" Yelu Hanyu said: "In this regard, you can only rely on Du Cai!" In fact, what worries me most about information is concrete actions. We speculate that after the Guanyin was escorted back to the capital, she might be imprisoned in three places, one is her own princess's mansion, the second is the heavenly prison, and the third is the imperial palace. No matter which of these three places you are, it will be very difficult to save people! ”

Yang Peng frowned.

Yelu Hanyu continued: "No matter what place it is, there is no need to worry about the terrain at all......

Yang Peng smiled: "Of course, with the living map of the little sister, we naturally know the terrain well!" Yelu Hanyu glanced at Yang Peng and continued: "But no matter which place it is, it must be heavily guarded, and this is the capital of the Great Liao Kingdom, although the secret guards are extremely elite, but it is very difficult and dangerous to save people in this situation!" ”

Yang Peng said: "This is not necessarily, maybe there will be flaws that we can take advantage of." After a pause, "Let's get ready, and when Guanyin arrives, we will take action depending on the situation." ”

Yelu Hanyu nodded, glanced at Yang Peng, and said, "But if things can't be done, you must not take any more risks!" Hmph, you're not her alone! ”

Yang Peng nodded, "Got it, don't worry." Yelu Hanyu sighed, "That's what I said, but when the time comes, I'm afraid you won't do that!" Hey, I just hope God willing, everything goes well, otherwise I really don't know what will happen? Conversations like this have happened many times along the way, Yelu Hanyu is worried, in fact, why is Yang Peng not contradictory? Reason told Yang Peng that he shouldn't be in danger for the sake of a Ya Yu Guanyin, but when he thought of her affection for him, he couldn't let go of her, and just wanted to get her out of the cage as soon as possible! Yang Peng once wanted to force himself to deal with this matter according to rational thinking, but this effort was in vain, rationality finally lost to feelings, Yang Peng couldn't sit back and watch a woman who loved him fall into a desperate situation and sit idly by, he couldn't pass his own level at all!

Yang Peng listened to Yelu Hanyu's words like talking to himself, and he didn't know what to say, and he only hoped that everything would go well and that nothing would happen, otherwise, he was afraid that he would not be able to save Yelu Guanyin, and he would let Yelu Hanyu and these women down. Hey, there are so many things that men have to bear in this world, no wonder some people will sigh and say: Men are really difficult!!

When they had finished eating and drinking, they paid the bills and left the tavern, and went back to their lodgings. By this time, the little beggar had disappeared.

Yang Peng and the others returned to their residence, Du Cai had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Yang Peng, he clasped his fists and saluted: "Master." ”

Yang Peng nodded, walked to the square table and sat down. Du Cai hugged his fists and said: "When the subordinate received the master's order, he immediately mobilized all his forces to investigate. So far, it has been learned that the attitude of the ministers of the Liao court towards the affairs of Yeyu Guanyin is divided into two extremes, one side believes that Yeyu Guanyin should be immediately punished with capital punishment and must not be tolerated, while the other side thinks that Yeyu Guanyin has made great contributions, and there is the will of Emperor Taizong, so at least one of her lives should be spared. The supporters of both sides are quite equal, and they do not give in to each other, and it is said that there has been a pot of porridge in the court every day recently! ”

Yang Peng pondered and asked, "Liao has no emperor, aren't they in a hurry?" ”

"Who's to say it's not in a hurry! There are already people in the court who have proposed to make Generalissimo Ye Hu Brother the emperor, and some people have proposed that Ye Hu Cheng inherit the throne, and Ye Hu Longqing, and some people support him! On this issue, there is also a quarrel, the ministers have their own opinions, do not give in to each other, it is said that for this matter, several ministers have also moved to each other! ”

Yang Peng pondered for a moment, raised his head and asked, "Have you found anything about the death of the emperor of the Liao Kingdom?" ”

Du Cai shook his head, "I didn't find anything, all the clues seem to have been cut off by Brother Ya Hugh, which is very unfavorable for Ye Yu Guanyin!" Not only that, the Liao court was also very indignant at Ye Yu Guanyin's behavior of killing the prefect's family in Zezhou, which made some ministers who were originally sympathetic to Ye Yu Guanyin turn to demand that Ye Yu Guanyin be severely punished! Naren said angrily: "He brought it on himself, how can he blame our princess?" Yang Peng frowned. Yelu Hanyu frowned, wanting to say something, but he didn't say it after all.

Yang Peng noticed Yelu Hanyu's expression and asked, "What does the little sister want to say?" Yelu Hanyu shook his head and said, "It's nothing! ”

Yang Peng saw that Yelu Hanyu didn't want to say, so he didn't ask any more, and said to Du Cai: "Is there anything else related to this matter?" Du Cai thought about it, and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, there is something that my subordinates almost forgot, the Queen Mother of Goryeo actually fully supported Ye Yu Guanyin in this matter, and said a lot of things for Ye Yu Guanyin!" ”

Yang Peng was quite surprised, and then said happily: "This is a good thing!" This Goryeo Empress Dowager is the favorite concubine of Taizong of Liao, and now the harem respects her, and she also has real power in the court, and with her support for Guanyin, Guanyin's life will be more secure. Then he asked Naren: "Is the relationship between this Goryeo Empress Dowager and Guanyin very good?" Naren frowned and shook her head, "No! The relationship between our princess and the queen mother is very tense, and the princess once asked to deprive the queen mother of her power in the court, and the two of them turned their faces publicly! I didn't expect her to speak for the princess!? Naren looked puzzled.

Yang Peng and Yelu Hanyu glanced at each other, and Yang Peng pondered: "I'm afraid that there is something inside that we don't know!" Either way, it's a good thing! ”

Yelu Hanyu said: "I heard that there seems to be a vague alliance between this Goryeo Empress Dowager and Yehu Hugo, and now Yelu Hugo clearly wants to put Yelu Guanyin to death, but the Goryeo Empress Dowager wants to protect her, what does this mean?" ”

Yang Peng's eyes lit up, and his fingers tapped lightly on the table, "That's right!" This incident shows that there seems to be a problem between the Empress Dowager of Goryeo and Ya Hugo! Everyone nodded, thinking that it should be so.

Yang Peng pondered: "There must be some reason for this. If we can figure this out, maybe we can use this incident to rescue Guanyin! Immediately looked at Du Cai, "Du Cai, your task now is to concentrate on investigating this matter for me, and report any findings immediately." "Yes!"

Syllable! Ah! Suddenly there was a loud noise and a scream from downstairs of the inn, followed by chaotic shouting and pushing and fighting. Everyone looked at each other, and there was a look of wariness in everyone's eyes. Wang Kai hugged his fists and said, "I'll take a look." With that, he left the room. Some secret guards brought the blades of Yang Peng and Yelu Guanyin, and everyone was ready to deal with the unexpected.

At this time, the sound of fighting outside was even more terrifying, and the shouts were mixed with screams, and a series of crackling sounds were interspersed with a loud crackling sound, as if someone was pounding the wall violently.

After a while, Wang Kai came back, hugged his fists and said: "Master, it was a group of Mongolian barbarians who were making trouble, injuring the boss and Xiao Er, the boss called a helper, and the two sides are now in a scuffle!" ”

When Yang Peng heard the three words of Mongolian, he couldn't help muttering in his heart. Hurriedly walked out of the room, came to the corridor on the second floor, looked towards the lobby below, and sure enough, he saw a few thick and fierce men in fur fighting with dozens of people, although the number of those guys was only one-tenth of the other party, but they completely controlled the situation, and there were already seven or eight people lying on the ground, obviously all of whom were defeated by those Mongolian big men; The more the Mongol men fought, the more excited they became, while the besieging men became more and more frightened.

A fellow suddenly pulled out a long knife and slashed at the Mongolian man on his right. The Mongolian man was taken aback by surprise and hurriedly dodged, but he was still swept over his shoulder by the long knife, and blood flowed everywhere. At this moment, several Mongolian men were completely angry, and only one of them shouted: "Wang Ba Lamb, look for death!" Then he choked and pulled out his waist knife, and several other Mongolian men also drew their knives in their hands. Seeing this, the shopkeeper also drew his blades one after another and confronted those Mongolian men.

Several Mongolian men sneered, roared and rushed forward, slashing and killing, and in an instant they saw flesh and blood flying, just like a tiger entering a flock; The screams rang out, and I saw that the guys were cut down to the ground, blood splashed in the hall, and the guests who were still watching the excitement were all dumbfounded.

The secret guards couldn't help but want to make a move, Wang Kai asked Yang Peng in a low voice; "...... master?" Yang Peng shook his head. The guards could only resist the urge to move and looked into the hall.

In just a few moments, dozens of men were half dead and half ran, and several Mongolian men stood in the pile of corpses and howled like wild beasts. Yang Peng and the others suddenly smelled a smell of urine, and couldn't help frowning, turning their heads to look, only to see a few tenants next to them lying on the ground in fright, and there were water stains gushing out of their crotches. Naren scolded: "Waste! ”

At this time, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps at the gate, and I saw dozens of Liao patrols rushing into the inn and surrounding the Mongolian Han people. Several Mongolian men were not afraid at all, and when they turned their heads, they stared at those Liao soldiers with bloodthirsty eyes, looking fierce and ready to kill! One of the particularly burly men, who seemed to be the leader among them, raised his hand to stop the impulse of his companions, walked up to the Liao State official, and muttered something in a Khitan language, which Yang Peng couldn't understand, and asked Naren: "What did the Mongols say?" Naren said: "He said that he was the envoy of the Great Khan of Mongolia, and he had a conflict with the people here, so he started to kill people!" Yang Peng nodded, his eyes returned to the bottom, and he saw that after listening to the other party's words, the Liao State official's attitude immediately became respectful, and he ordered his sergeant to withdraw his blade, and then made a chest salute to the Mongolian man and said something.

Naren translated next to Yang Peng: "The officer said, I don't know if it's a noble envoy, it's a lot of offense, and I ask for forgiveness!" Naren looked very indignant when she said this.

Yang Peng was surprised: 'How can the Khitans face such an arrogant Mongol, so humble? I saw the Mongolian envoy smile proudly, turned his head and said a word of Mongolian to a few of his attendants, and then saw the Mongolian men go away. The Liao official and those Liao soldiers also left, completely ignoring the victims here, as if the people here were slaughtered by the Mongols, and they were slaughtered for nothing!

The boss ran down the hall, got to his knees and cried. Some of the tenants shook their heads and sighed, some cursed in a low voice, and returned to their rooms. Yang Peng and the others also returned to the room, and Naren finally couldn't help but scold: "The Mongols are getting more and more rampant!" Damn it! ”

Although Yang Peng knew that the Mongols had raided Shangjing Road in the Liao State before, he thought that it was just a harassment carried out by the Mongols in order to loot materials, and in Yang Peng's impression, the rise of the Mongols was a hundred years later, but after looking at what happened just now, he felt that the Mongols seemed to be very strong now!? Ask Naren: "Are the Mongols strong now?" ”

Naren frowned and nodded, hesitated, glanced at Yang Peng, and said, "If I say something, you will definitely be surprised!" After a pause, "You must not know that the 600,000 troops of our Southern Courtyard King are placed on the Shangjing Road, but in fact, they are just to deal with the 80,000 Mongolian cavalry in front of them!" ”

Everyone was taken aback, and Yelu Hanyu said in disbelief: "In order to deal with 80,000 Mongolian cavalry, you actually used 600,000 troops?!" Naren nodded, "That's it!" After a pause, "I heard that the Mongols have taken a defensive posture against our Great Liao Kingdom in the east, but have taken an offensive posture in the west and northwest, and in just one year, they have acquired a large amount of land and population, and their strength has increased very quickly!" In order to stabilize Mongolia in the north, we adopted a policy of peace and proximity, but I heard that the Mongols saw that our attitude softened and became more and more arrogant, and I had no idea about the arrogance of the Mongols, but today I finally saw it! Hmph, these Mongols are so arrogant and hateful! ”

Yang Peng was most concerned about the combat effectiveness of the Mongols, and asked Naren: "The Mongol army is so strong that 80,000 can deal with your 600,000?!" ”

Naren thought for a while, shook his head and said: "That's not it, I heard the king say that the Mongols are fierce and good at fighting, but they are not strong enough to deal with our 600,000 army with 80,000, but the land of Shangjing Road is vast, and the Mongols come and go like the wind, so to defend such a large place, there must be 600,000!" ”

Yang Peng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, if the Mongolian cavalry could really defeat the 600,000 Liao army with 80,000, it would be terrible, and his Yanyun army would not be able to deal with such a powerful enemy with the same strength, but in any case, it was also an extraordinary thing for 80,000 war cavalry to suppress the 600,000 Khitan army, and it would be absolutely impossible for the Mongolian army to do it if it was not extremely powerful. Glancing at Naren, "In your opinion, is it the Mongolian army that is powerful, or the Yanyun army?" Naren shook her head, "I don't know, I haven't seen the Mongol army, I don't know how powerful they are!" "There was a pause," Tiger City and the princess must have known. Yang Peng showed a thoughtful look, and after a while, he temporarily put this matter behind him, raised his head, and said: "Something like this happened here, it's too conspicuous, we can't stay here anymore, we have to change an inn immediately." Yelu Hanyu nodded.

Immediately, everyone settled the account and left the inn, and many tenants also checked out like Yang Peng and them, such a terrible thing happened, where did they dare to live here, but this made the boss suffer, so many guys died, and the guests all checked out one after another, he was afraid that he couldn't do this business, he wanted to cry without tears, and he wanted to die.

Yang Peng and the others transferred to the largest inn in Zhongjing City's 'Cangtian Inn', chartered a separate courtyard, and stayed, and then Du Cai said goodbye and left.

Early the next morning, Yang Peng, Yelu Hanyu, Naren and Wang Kai left the inn and walked around the city, in fact, they were not wandering, but surveying the terrain of various places, while investigating, while listening to Yelu Hanyu and Naren from the side, the details of the palace cell, the prison and the princess's mansion became a three-dimensional image in Yang Peng and Wang Kai's minds. Before he knew it, it was already noon, Yang Peng glanced at the scorching sun hanging high in the sky, and said, "It's already noon, let's find a place to eat and drink!" Yelu Hanyu nodded, "I'm really hungry." "Yang Peng and Yelu Hanyu are going to eat, Naren and Wang Kai naturally won't have any opinions.

The four of them walked along the street, maybe it was the early autumn sun was too hot, or maybe everyone went back to eat, there were few pedestrians on the street, it was very quiet, but the teahouse and wine shop in the distance were very lively, and from time to time there was a noise, and the four of them followed the sound.

"Hey, what's that doing?" Jeruhanyu pointed to the distance. Everyone looked in the direction of her finger, and saw that many people dressed in Goryeo costumes had gathered at the gate of a mansion in the distance, and everyone seemed to be enthusiastically signing up for something. Naren said: "That mansion is a courtyard given to the Queen Mother when Emperor Taizong was alive!" ”

When Yang Peng heard that it was related to the Queen Mother, he couldn't help but increase his interest a little. I only heard Yelu Hanyu ask Naren, "What are you doing there?" Naren said: "That was a matter presided over by the Empress Dowager, she persuaded the emperor to recruit these Goryeo refugees as an army to deal with the Japanese people," Yang Peng suddenly remembered one thing, "The Japanese invaded Goryeo, Goryeo was defeated and lost, and in several major battles, the Goryeo army was almost wiped out!" But when the princess launched a counterattack, the king of Goryeo Wang Yue was able to gather more than 100,000 or 200,000 Goryeo troops at once, I have always felt strange before, but now I finally know the reason, it turns out that Wang Yue's army is from his sister! Naren nodded at the old man.

Yelu Hanyu said with a smile: "It seems that the reason why the queen mother bought the hearts of the people has finally been found!" ”

Yang Peng nodded, thought of another question, turned his head and asked Naren: "Where did the Liao State get the resources to form and maintain such a large Goryeo army?" "In Yang Peng's estimate, although the Liao State had plundered countless trophies from the Song State before, it was limited after all, maintaining such a huge army of the Liao State, coupled with the recent defeats, I am afraid that there is not much of their spoils left, and in this case, it is a very difficult thing to form a Goryeo army!

Naren shook her head, "I don't know about this!" Yang Peng thought for a while and said, "Let's go eat first." With that, he walked towards the nearest tavern.

After the meal, several people left the tavern and returned to the inn. In the evening of the same day, Du Cai came. After the salute, he reported: "The villain sent someone to investigate the relationship between the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother according to the master's instructions. There was no difficulty in this regard, and soon some information was obtained, and the villain felt that these situations were what the master wanted, so he hurried over to report them to the master. ……”

Yang Peng didn't speak, waiting for him to continue, only to hear him continue: "According to the news revealed by the servants on both sides, the relationship between these two people was originally very close, but since Ya Yu Guanyin received the order of the imperial court to withdraw the army from Goryeo, the relationship between the two has been in trouble, and it is said that the two sides have not interacted with each other since then, and the Queen Mother often curses Ye Hu Ge!" Not long ago, Yehu Hugo led an army to round up the princess, and once sent someone to the queen mother to mobilize the Goryeo army near the capital, but the queen mother found an excuse to push it away, and I heard that this incident made the relationship between the two sides even more embarrassing! ”

Yang Peng thought about it, and seeing that Du Cai didn't say any more, he hurriedly said, "You continue." ”

Du Caidao: "Forgive me, master, that's all the villain has learned so far." By the way, there is another thing, it is about the Queen Mother, she has recently stepped up the recruitment and training of the Goryeo Army, according to the information obtained by her subordinates, there are almost 100,000 Goryeo troops outside the city, but the strange thing is that the situation is critical in Goryeo Kaijing now, but the Queen Mother has no intention of sending these Goryeo troops over, I don't know what the intention is! ”

Yang Peng and Yelu Hanyu glanced at each other, both felt a little incomprehensible, it stands to reason that Kaijing is in urgent need of soldiers and horses, so the Empress Dowager of Goryeo should send these troops over quickly, but she didn't do it, why is this?

After all, what happened next, and listen to the next breakdown.
