Li Qingxia frequently toasted Yang Peng and Zhan Jinguo. After three rounds of drinking, Li Qingxia asked curiously: "The two eldest brothers are so imposing, they must be the generals in the Yanyun army!" ”

Yang Peng smiled and nodded, "Brother, good eyesight!" Li Qingxia was overjoyed, "I often heard about the heroic deeds of Yan Yun's fierce generals, and I admired them, but I didn't expect to meet the hero in my heart here, I am really lucky to be here!" ”

Yang Peng smiled: "Brother has won the prize!" Li Qingxia said excitedly: "Little brother's favorite is the hero who fights on the battlefield, I wonder if Brother Yang can tell me about the things on the battlefield?" ”

Yang Peng took a sip of wine and smiled, "There's nothing to say, on the battlefield, either you die or I die, except for those who survive, everyone else has become dead, that's all!" Li Qingxia was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but say: "Brother Yang's words can't help but sigh!" Then he said curiously: "The little brother is very curious, why can Yan Yunjun repeatedly defeat strong enemies and survive a hundred battles, I don't know if Yan Yunjun has any secrets?" ”

Yang Peng smiled, poured himself a bowl of wine, drank it, and said, "The secret is naturally there," Li Qingxia immediately showed a listening look, and couldn't help but look forward to it in her heart, she can be said to have been longing for the secret of Yan Yunjun's victory in a hundred battles! I only heard Yang Peng say: "The secret is actually very simple, it is nothing more than that there must be a brave man under the heavy reward!" ”

When Li Qingxia heard this, she couldn't help but feel disappointed, and frowned: "What's so strange about this heavy reward!" Looking at Yang Peng, "I'm afraid there are other secrets!" Yang Peng pointed to the wine bowl, "There is another secret, which is to drink!" Hehe, drink a lot before the war, and you have nothing to fear! ”

Li Qingxia was stunned for a moment, and then understood that the other party was laughing with her, and she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in her heart, and said angrily: "The younger brother admires Yanyun Hero and hopes to know more about Yanyun's soldiers, but I didn't expect Brother Yang to talk nonsense with the younger brother!" ”

Yang Peng smiled: "I don't have gibberish!" Brother, if you don't believe me, there is no way to do it! Li Qingxia picked up the chopsticks, took a piece of meat, and ate it, thinking while eating: 'This person must have deliberately talked nonsense with me, there must be a rule in their Yanyun Army that no one is allowed to talk about similar things outside, otherwise they will be severely punished by military law!' In this way, I'm afraid that Yan Yunjun really has a secret that others don't know! As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but yearn for Yan Yunjun's set of secrets even more.

Li Qingxia raised her head and said, "Brother Yang doesn't want to say this, so Little Brother won't ask." After a pause, "The younger brother can know the two eldest brothers, and he is very happy, if the two eldest brothers don't dislike it, please go to the younger brother and sit down, and the younger brother will entertain you well!" ”

Yang Peng smiled: "Thank you brother for your kindness, but I'm afraid we don't have time." Li Qingxia said: "If there is no time in the last one or two days, it will be two or three days, if there is no time in two or three days, then wait a few more days, the two eldest brothers will always have time!" Li Qingxia looked like she must invite the two of them to be guests. In this case, many people will not be able to pull it off, and agree to the other party's request, but Yang Peng smiled and said: "Brother, don't worry, we will meet sooner or later!" ”

Li Qingxia felt that the other party was perfunctory to herself, and the sentence 'we will meet sooner or later' is simply a panacea, no matter how you explain it. Li Qingxia saw that the other party just didn't take the bait, and she couldn't help but feel defeated in her heart. Suddenly thought of something, if Shi Liancheng was so powerful, how could he still not have much fame until now, he followed Yang Peng very early! Poplar?! His eyes couldn't help but look at Zhan Jinguo, and said secretly: 'Who is Zhan Jinguo? That is one of the most famous generals in the Yanyun Army, with a great reputation, and Yang Peng's brother! What is Shi Liancheng, even if he drinks with Zhan Jinguo, it is impossible for Zhan Jinguo to behave so restrained and submissive, right? Hmph, this poplar is not Shi Liancheng at all, it is clearly Yang Peng!! ’

As soon as I thought of this, my eyes shot a strange look. picked up the wine glass, stared at Yang Peng and said: "It was really rude just now, I didn't say my real name, I am not actually called Li Qing, my name is Li Qingxia, and I am the messenger from Western Xia!" Li Xu was taken aback, Zhan Jinguo was a little surprised, Yang Peng looked calm, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Li Qingxia raised her head and drained the wine, and said, "I punish myself for my faux pas!" Yang Peng laughed, "In this case, I should also punish myself with a bowl of wine!" Then he picked up the flask and poured himself a bowl, and it was dry. Putting down the wine bowl, she glanced at Li Qingxia and said with a smile: "It seems that the princess has guessed my identity!" Li Qingxia smiled slightly, "It seems that His Highness has already guessed my identity!" The two of them talked about this, Li Qingxia naturally knew Yang Peng's identity, and saw that the young man sitting in front of him was actually King Yan, who had made the Great Liao and Great Xia terrified, and couldn't help but be nervous and fidgeting.

Yang Peng said with a smile: "I have long heard that the princess of Western Xia, Li Qingxia, is extremely intelligent, and now I really deserve her reputation when I see it!" Li Qingxia stared at Yang Peng and said: "King Yan is famous, I have heard a lot of legends, but I didn't expect that real people are the same as ordinary people, they only have one head and one mouth!" Yang Peng smiled: "It's a disappointment for the princess." ”

Li Qingxia said: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the sun, I originally wanted to meet King Yan, but now that I have bumped into it, I will simply discuss business with King Yan here!" ”

Yang Peng poured himself a bowl of wine and drank it, "Her Royal Highness the princess can say whatever he wants." Li Qingxia said: "We in Great Xia hope to re-establish a peace treaty with Yanyun, and from now on we will not invade each other!" Yang Peng laughed mockingly, "Does the princess think this peace treaty is useful?" Didn't we have a peace treaty before? Didn't the Western Xia still ignore the treaty and brazenly invade my Yanyun? Li Qingxia said: "Whether you are willing to sign such a treaty is a matter for King Yan, and I can't force it!" ”

Yang Peng was very surprised to see Li Qingxia speak like this, in his mind, now that Western Xia has suffered heavy losses and the state affairs are in danger, he is afraid that he will be in a hurry to conclude a peace treaty, but Li Qingxia's performance is not like that at all, and he doesn't care very much!

Yang Peng understood Li Qingxia's thoughts after a little thought, this Xixia princess is very wise, she understands very well that a paper peace treaty is useless at all, Yan Yun really wants to invade, but it is not something that can be stopped by a paper contract! I couldn't help but secretly say in my heart: 'I'm afraid the main purpose of your trip is not to make a peace agreement with me, but to spy on the reality of my Yanyun!' Hehe, what a smart woman! In this era, how can there be so many smart and brave women! ’

Yang Peng said with a smile: "The princess is rare to come, I, the king of Yan, always have the friendship of the landlord, tonight, if the princess has time, I will invite the princess to have a drink at home." Li Qingxia smiled and said, "Since it is the invitation of King Yan, I will naturally arrive on time." Yang Peng smiled slightly. Li Qingxia stood up, and when Li Xu saw this, he quickly stood up as well. Li Qingxia bowed slightly and said, "We'll see you tonight!" Yang Peng smiled and nodded. Li Qingxia called the waitress, took out a piece of silver, handed it to the waitress, pointed to the wine and food on the table, and said, "I invited this meal." The waitress took the silver ingot and retreated. Yang Peng smiled and hugged his fists and said, "Thank you." Li Qingxia smiled slightly and led Li Xu away.

Yang Peng smiled and said to Zhan Jinguo: "If you don't want money, you won't eat for nothing!" Zhan Jinguo said with a smile: "That princess is really impressive!" Yang Peng took a bite of food and nodded, "Indeed!" This Western Xia princess is truly remarkable! The rumors are true! Then he poured himself a bowl of wine and drank it.

Li Qingxia led Li Xu out of Fan Lou, suddenly stopped, and said very excitedly: "He is King Yan!" It's better to be famous than to meet! I finally understand now why the Great Liao Kingdom and our Great Xia Kingdom, as well as the Tubo and Song Kingdoms, are not his opponents! There is no other figure in the nations who can compare with him! If he was just brave and invincible, the most terrifying thing was that this man was more cunning than a fox! Glancing at Li Xu, "Did you find it, he had already seen my identity, but I finally understood his identity later!" In terms of resourcefulness, I'm afraid it's not as good as him! Li Xu nodded sympathetically, "When I didn't see him, I didn't feel how terrible he was!" But just now sitting facing each other, not afraid of the princess's jokes, although he always smiled, I had a feeling that I couldn't breathe! This man is terrible and unfathomable! ”

Li Qingxia was silent for a moment, and said to Li Xu: "We have to prepare, and tonight I will test out all his details!" Then he led Li Xu back in a hurry.

And Yang Peng and Zhan Jinguo were still drinking, Yang Peng said: "Brother, there is no time tonight, I will take you to meet Yu Liyan tomorrow night!" Zhan Jinguo was startled, and said with a red face: "This, this is too urgent!" Yang Peng rolled his eyes, "Hurry up and fart!" If you all have the right eyes, you have to hurry up and do the happy event, I can wait to hold my nephew! Zhan Jinguo smiled embarrassedly, and couldn't help but look forward to it.

Yang Peng looked at Zhan Jinguo and said with a smile: "Your appearance is naturally not said!" Put on your armor cloak tomorrow and ride a white horse, hehe, I guarantee that Yu Liyan will love you to death! ”

Zhan Jinguo was so embarrassed that he picked up the wine bowl and took a big sip.

At that moment, a grunter of voices came from the cacophony of voices in the hall. Yang Peng frowned, because the tone of voice was clearly a characteristic of the Japanese language. Yang Peng turned his head to look, only to see five well-dressed men sitting at the next table, one seemed to be the owner, very young, only in his twenties, the other four were very old, the eldest was in his sixties, his hair was gray, these five people were no different from ordinary Han people, Yang Peng couldn't help but feel that he had heard it wrong.

Just as Yang Peng was about to turn his head and continue to eat and drink, a grunting voice came again. This time, Yang Peng heard it very clearly, it was indeed Japanese, and it was the voice of the young man who looked like the owner at the table. Yang Peng said secretly: Fuck, it's really unlucky, you can touch these things after a meal!

Although Yang Peng affirmed that those people were Japanese people, he didn't care too much, after all, there were not a few Japanese people in the entire Tianjing New City who came to do business and learn.

Yang Peng Zhan Jinguo drank and chatted, and when he was full of wine and food, he left Fan Lou. When I came to the door, I saw those few widows on the street at the door, pointing at the city, and muttering non-stop, as if they were judging their heads. Yang Peng and Zhan Jinguo joined up with a few secret guards who came up and prepared to leave. At this moment, a sentence from a Japanese man caught Yang Peng's attention, and what he heard the Japanese man say was: "Your Highness, this Tianjing New City is really extremely prosperous!" Our Kyoto is much inferior to that! ”

Yang Peng's heart moved: 'Your Highness, what did that widow say'? As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but look at the group of widows. The man who was the leader happened to look at it, and then reprimanded the subordinate who spoke just now, Yang Peng understood, what he said was, 'Don't talk nonsense, let's go back.' The man bowed his head and gave a sigh of trepidation, and then the men went north.

Yang Peng lowered his head and pondered. Zhan Jinguo looked at the backs of those widows and asked Yang Peng: "Big brother, do those people have a problem?" Yang Peng looked at the backs of those widows and asked, "Can you see their identities?" Zhan Jinguo's heart moved, "Could it be the Khitans?" Yang Peng shook his head, "It's not a golden person, it's a Japanese person!" ”

Zhan Jinguo was stunned, "Widows? Then he said indifferently: "There are many merchants from the Japanese kingdom in the city. Yang Peng frowned and said, "I'm afraid it's not as simple as a businessman!" Then he said to Wang Kai: "Wang Kai, you go with you, see where they settle, don't alarm them!" "Yes!" Wang Kai clenched his fists and promised, and then led several other secret guards to follow.

Yang Peng said to Zhan Jinguo: "Brother, let's go." Zhan Jinguo nodded, and the two turned their horses and headed east. It was already noon, and the streets were even more lively, as hot as the sun overhead. ……

Yang Peng returned to the mansion and frolicked with his wives and concubines. Soon after, Wang Kai came back and reported: "Master, those widows have settled in the Yunlai Inn and have built a separate courtyard!" Yang Peng walked to the edge of the lake, and Wang Kai stood behind him. On the lawn not far away, the playful laughter of wives and concubines came from time to time.

Yang Peng asked Wang Kaidao: "They didn't find you, did they?" ”

Wang Kai said with certainty: "Absolutely not!" Yang Peng pondered for a moment, turned around, gave a careful command, and finally asked, "Do you understand?" Wang Kai hugged his fists and said, "Understood." Then he hurried away.

At this moment, there was melodious music on the lawn in the distance, Yang Peng followed the sound and looked, only to see Master Li dancing in front of everyone, like a colorful butterfly dancing style, soft and natural reveal a trace of charming style, the sun sprinkled on her body through the leaves, dotted and shining, it was really indescribably beautiful. Yang Peng couldn't help laughing. ……

Night fell, and in the water pavilion in the backyard of the palace, a table of exquisite wine banquets was set up, with Yang Peng and Yelu Hanyu present, and the sisters Jin Xiuying and Jin Xiuwen on the side.

Yelu Hanyu smiled and said, "I heard that the princess Li Qingxia of Western Xia is a rare beauty!" Yang Peng took a chopstick dish and ate it, and said with a smile: "Mei'er is afraid that I will fall in love with her!" Don't worry, I'm not interested in her! Then he looked at Yelu Hanyu affectionately, and said softly: "In this life, I am already satisfied with you by my side!" Yelu Hanyu's heart rippled, and he looked back at Ailang gently, tenderness and sweetness, all in the words. The sisters of the Jin family, who were standing behind the two of them holding wine jugs, looked at the expressions of the two of them in their eyes, and were envious in their hearts.

Footsteps suddenly came from a distance, not loud, but audible in the silence. The two retracted their gaze and followed the prestige, only to see a few people coming from a distance, and the head was the Feifeng female guard carrying a lantern to lead the way, and under the dim light, a dressed beauty was faintly visible.

After a while, a few people walked into the water pavilion, and then Yang Peng and they saw clearly, Li Qingxia was dressed in Western Xia costumes, beautiful and unbelievable, and full of exotic customs, which was really eye-catching, in terms of appearance alone, it was definitely not inferior to Yelutri and other women, but in Yang Peng's feelings, it was far inferior to his wives and concubines in style.

I saw Li Qingxia come to the two of them, and said with a slight bow: "Li Qingxia has seen King Yan!" "She called herself Li Qingxia instead of claiming to be the messenger of Great Xia, firstly, she wanted to shorten the distance between the two sides and talk later, and secondly, she felt that the title of 'Great Xia' was really a bit ugly in front of the other party, but she was unwilling to be humble, so she simply didn't mention it.

Yang Peng smiled and said, "Miss Li doesn't have to be polite, please take a seat!" ”

Li Qingxia bowed slightly to Chen Xiao, thanking him. glanced at the stunning beauty sitting next to Yang Peng and asked; "This must be the princess, right?" Chen Xiao smiled and introduced, "This is Princess Yelu. Li Qingxia immediately thought of the identity and origin of the other party, and said with a slight bow: "I have admired Princess Yelu for a long time, and it is really a blessing to see you today!" Yelu Hanyu smiled and said, "The princess doesn't have to be polite! Then he sighed with emotion: "Where can the exile deserve such praise from the princess!" Smiling slightly, he stretched out his hand, "Princess, please take a seat!" ”

Li Qingxia bowed slightly, walked to the two and sat down. The Jin sisters immediately came up and poured wine for the three of them, and then withdrew.

Li Qingxia picked up the wine glass and said to Yang Peng and Yelu Hanyu: "I salute the master's family." The two looked at each other and smiled, picked up their glasses, and dried them up. Li Qingxia smiled slightly, and also raised her head to dry the glass of wine. After this glass of wine, the relationship between the two sides seems to have become much closer. Li Qingxia put down her wine glass and sighed, "It would be great if the two of us could always talk like this and call each other brothers!" ”

Yang Peng said with a smile: "Things in the world are never possible, maybe a good friend becomes the most vicious enemy in a blink of an eye, maybe the enemy becomes a close friend in an instant!" The princess doesn't have to worry too much, life is more bitter and less joyful in the world, so why bother yourself! ”

Li Qingxia said secretly: "You are really a fox, if you say this, you don't say it!" He glanced at Yang Peng, nodded and said, "King Yan's words are too right!" Thinking that the relationship between us and the Song Kingdom is like this, it is really difficult to say whether we and the Song Kingdom are enemies or friends! Yang Peng smiled: "It's good that the princess can understand this layer!" ”

Li Qingxia said: "Now it doesn't matter what the relationship between us and Song Guo is, what matters is the relationship with Yan Yun. There is one thing that I am very puzzled about, with Yan Yun's current strength and Yan King's current momentum, why should he still succumb to the faint monarchs and ministers of the Song Kingdom? King Yan can be called the emperor! If King Yan is called emperor, our country will be the first to surrender to King Yan! ”

Yang Peng sighed, "Although there are thousands of things in the imperial court, I would rather teach the people of the world to bear me, and I will not live up to the people of the world!" I will not betray the court! ”

Li Qingxia said secretly: "Who believes this! Good fellow, not very old, but more cunning than the old fox, he doesn't show any words! The center of his mind was spinning, and he sighed: "There are too few loyal people like King Yan now! If everyone is like King Yan, I'm afraid the world won't be in chaos! Yang Peng smiled: "The princess has won the prize!" The princess doesn't have to worry about my business, but the princess's own affairs are only very troublesome! I heard that the princess has been stripped of her power by the Western Xia Emperor, and she is obviously a talent who has experienced the heavens and the earth, but she is used as a diplomatic envoy! Although the princess is dedicated to the country, she is afraid that she will inevitably be sad and angry in her heart, right? ”

Li Qingxia knew that Yang Peng was deliberately provoking her emotions, but these words were pierced in her heart like a steel needle, yes, she was dedicated to the country, but in exchange for her father's suspicion and hostility, what did she work so hard for?

Yang Peng smiled and said: "With the current situation in Western Xia, don't talk about me Yanyun, I'm afraid that you won't be able to deal with Tubo!" Li Qingxia's heart rose a strong worry, in fact, Li Qingxia has been worried about two things during this time, one is the threat of Yanyun, the other is the threat of the Tubo people, the threat of Yanyun is not imminent, she is more worried that the Tubo people in order to make up for the previous losses and use troops on their side, their remaining troops are now mainly stationed in the southeast to defend Yanyun, and the defensive force in the direction of Tubo is very empty, once the Tubo invades, the consequences are unimaginable.

Yang Peng smiled: "I can give you an idea." ”

Li Qingxia subconsciously looked at Chen Xiao, and her eyes involuntarily showed a look of expectation. Yang Peng said: "The party members were originally under the rule of the Central Plains Dynasty, and it has been like this for hundreds of years!" To put it mildly, the national status of Western Xia has never been recognized by others! Now that Western Xia is in danger and the country is in difficulty, it will eventually suffer a catastrophe, so it is better to take advantage of the fact that we Yanyun are now attached to it, and Western Xia can at least avoid a catastrophe! ”

Li Qingxia was indignant when she saw that Yang Peng's idea was like this, and said loudly: "Although our Western Xia is in danger, we will never surrender to others!" If a person lives for a hundred years, what does life count, reputation is the most important thing! ”

Yang Peng admired in his heart, such a woman, I was afraid that most men would not be able to compare with her, thinking like this, his eyes couldn't help but show admiration, and the eyes of Yelutri next to him also showed admiration.

Yang Peng said: "A hundred years of life, is reputation or life important?" Even if the princess is willing to die and die for the community, what about the people? Li Qingxia's heart was shocked. Yang Peng continued: "You want to choose this path of no return, it's your own business, but why force the people to join you in the ruin? Wouldn't that be selfish! ”

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