Li Qingxia has always thought that the people are loyal to the king, that is a matter of course, there is no doubt about it, she has never thought about the feelings of the people, at this time listening to Yang Peng say this, I can't help but feel that I really shouldn't make decisions for the people. However, soon the Confucian idea of loyalty to the monarch came to mind, and Zhengse said: "Loyalty is the great righteousness, and it is natural for the people to be loyal to the king. Otherwise, it is disloyal and unjust, and pigs and dogs are not as good! ”

Yang Peng couldn't help but scold: "Fart! Li Qingxia was stunned, she didn't expect that King Yan, who was so cunning than a fox, would actually speak obscenities. Yang Peng sneered: "According to what the princess said, you Xixia should serve our Yanyun even more!" You must know that you were originally a subordinate of the Central Plains Dynasty, but you rebelled and claimed the emperor and divided the northwest, isn't this a great rebellion, disloyalty, and unrighteousness, and the behavior of pigs and dogs? ”

Li Qingxia was speechless, Rao is her resourcefulness is extraordinary, and she can't refute Yang Peng's move of 'attacking the shield of the son with the spear of the son'. Didn't you say that everyone should be unconditionally loyal to the king, otherwise it would be disloyal and unrighteous pigs and dogs, then you Tangut people did this in the first place, doesn't this mean that you Tangut people are not as good as pigs and dogs?

Yang Peng softened his tone, "Loyalty to the king has never been taken for granted!" The Confucian rhetoric is nothing but a tool used to fool the people and dominate the people! Li Qingxia's heart was shocked, she was extremely smart and immediately understood what Yang Peng meant, and couldn't help but feel that what Yang Peng said was right, but the two sides were in a hostile relationship, even if they agreed with each other's concepts, they couldn't say it, otherwise wouldn't it boost the opponent's momentum and destroy their own prestige.

Yang Peng continued: "The princess is extremely intelligent, and she must be able to understand what I said. In fact, how different is human society from animal society? The wolf king, the monkey king, and the deer king are all roles in their group that serve everyone, such as in the face of the invasion of foreign enemies, these kings must bear the brunt, otherwise they are not qualified to be kings. The king is like this, he was elected by everyone, his status is naturally noble, but his responsibility is even greater! If he can't serve everyone, what qualifies him to be king? If this is the case with beasts, are humans as the primates of all things inferior to beasts? All actions in society should serve everyone, not for a family, a surname, or even a person! So what can the king do for the people, but not what he can ask the people to do? ”

Li Qingxia sneered, "I didn't expect King Yan to be brave and cunning, and his eloquence is actually so good!" The four words 'Tongue Lotus' are used to describe King Yan, and there is really no more appropriate! ”

Yang Peng smiled: "The princess has won the prize!" If what I'm saying doesn't make sense, no matter how many flowers my tongue can turn out, it won't be of any use! Needless to say, the princess came to Tianjing New Town all the way, and lived in Tianjing New Town for a few days, I believe that with the wisdom of the princess, she can see the advantages and disadvantages of both societies! If Western Xia is merged into my Yanyun, it will definitely be a great thing for the people of Western Xia! If it is good for the people, why not the princess? ”

Li Qingxia glared at Chen Xiao with a strange expression, a little confused, a little angry, and a little inexplicable. Yang Peng just looked at her with a smile.

Li Qingxia suddenly said loudly: "No matter how many benefits there are, they can't be compared with dignity!" Yang Peng nodded sympathetically, "Not bad!" A hundred years of life, why bow your noble head for a little profit! Li Qingxia was stunned, she originally thought that the other party would refute her words again, but she didn't expect that the other party would agree with her point of view, and the other party gave her too many surprises today.

Yang Peng glanced at Li Qingxia and said with a smile; However, it is normal for a family to have a conflict and then reconcile, and it is not a shame or even a loss of dignity! The party members are also the descendants of Yan and Huang, and their ancestors are also the three emperors and five emperors, and we Han people, Khitans, and Jurchens are all the same. ”

Yang Peng's words and sincere attitude touched Li Qingxia, but Li Qingxia still felt that this was inappropriate, although she agreed with Yang Peng's statement in her heart, but she still had unwilling emotions, thinking that since everyone is a descendant of Yan and Huang, why should it be you Han people who unify the world, not party members? At the end of the day, it's a sense of pride.

Li Qingxia glanced at Yang Peng, "What's the use of King Yan telling me so much?" I'm just a daughter of my father, and I'm also a daughter who has been deprived of power, and if I have any ideas, I won't have any influence on Great Xia! King Yan has found the wrong person! ”

Yang Peng smiled, "Let's just chat at the banquet, I say it in vain, you also listen to it, don't take it seriously!" Li Qingxia thought that Yang Peng would come up with another set of extremely demagogic rhetoric, but she didn't expect him to leave this topic so lightly, and she couldn't help but feel overwhelmed in her heart.

Yang Peng picked up the wine glass and drank the wine, Jin Xiuying saw this, and hurriedly came over and filled it for Yang Peng. Yang Peng smiled and said to Li Qingxia: "The princess is so beautiful, why bother with these things, just marry a wishful husband and live a good life!" ”

Li Qingxia was annoyed in her heart, and then became alert: "Since just now, my emotions have been controlled by him, and I have been completely led by his nose, but I can't continue like this!" As soon as he thought of this, he suppressed his frustration, raised his head, and said with a smile: "Thank you Yan Wang for your concern, I don't want to start a family now!" ”

Yang Peng took a bite of food and said with a smile: "Why is the Huns home? ”

Li Qingxia smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Not bad!" Yang Peng smiled and glanced at Yelu Hanyu, "I didn't expect our Yanyun to become a Huns!" Li Qingxia smiled: "This is what King Yan said, I didn't say it." After a pause, "King Yan's ambition is only afraid that it is not comparable to the Huns!" Yang Peng smiled but did not speak, giving people an unfathomable feeling. Li Qingxia doesn't like this situation the most, she wants to find out the details of the other party, but she always sees only shadows but can't see the real thing.

Li Qingxia saw that Chen Xiao didn't say anything, so she simply made it clear: "I think King Yan wants to build a powerful empire comparable to the Han and Tang Dynasties!" Yang Peng laughed. Li Qingxia stared at Chen Xiao, wanting to understand his mind, but she only felt that his laughter had longing and regret, yearning and pride. Li Qingxia instantly understood Yang Peng's intentions, and couldn't help but feel shocked, the palm holding the wine glass trembled slightly, choked, and the wine glass fell to the ground.

Yang Peng smiled and asked, "Is the princess uncomfortable?" Li Qingxia took a deep look at Yang Peng, and said in her heart: "I didn't expect your ambition to be much bigger than I expected!" How could a character like you be born under the sky! Then his mind turned around, thinking about how the Western Xia should protect himself, and felt that the current situation was like the situation when the Qin Dynasty rose in the last years of the Warring States Period, and there was only one way for the countries to protect themselves, and that was to unite, a real alliance! Li Qingxia felt that it was not safe to be like this, so she thought of an idea again, and said to Chen Xiao: "King Yan, I want to make a bet with you?" ”

Yang Peng and Yelu Hanyu glanced at each other, and Yang Peng smiled and asked, "What bet?" Li Qingxia said: "Within two years, if King Yan can't destroy my Great Xia, he will never use troops against Great Xia again in his lifetime!" Yang Peng thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes!" I'll promise you! If I can't destroy the Western Xia within two years, I will no longer use troops against the Western Xia in my lifetime! ”

Li Qingxia was overjoyed and said urgently: "King Yan is the number one hero in heaven and earth, but you can't talk and don't count!" Yang Peng smiled and nodded, "Since I promised you, I will never regret it!" However, there are only three months left this year, and it can't be counted, two years from next year! ”

Li Qingxia nodded; "Good! That's it! Yang Peng smiled: "Slow down, slow down!" Li Qingxia was furious: "King Yan wants to repent? ”

Yang Peng said with a smile: "Since it's a bet, you can't just bet on my family, you Xixia also have to come up with a bet, otherwise this won't be a gamble!" Li Qingxia frowned and said: "If our side loses and the country is destroyed, what is the bet?" Yang Peng shook his head, "That's not the case!" Glancing at Li Qingxia, "This bet must be between the king of Western Xia, with the current situation of the princess, I am afraid that I will not be able to make this bet with me!" I only give the princess more than three months, before the spring of the next year, if the princess can't become the lord of Xixia, this bet will be invalidated, because the Xixia Kingdom is not yours, and I can't talk to you about betting on the Xixia Kingdom at all! ”

Li Qingxia lowered her head and frowned, silent. Yang Peng continued: "If the princess becomes the lord of Western Xia, this bet will officially begin. If I lose, it will be what the princess said just now, but if my Yanyun army is in Xingqing Mansion, I don't want to kill more, so I ask the princess to take the initiative to open the city and surrender! ……”

Li Qingxia nodded, "Okay!" I promise you! ”

Yang Peng smiled, "One more thing, if you lose, you have to marry one of my generals!" Li Qingxia was stunned for a moment, then became furious and glared at Yang Peng. Yang Peng smiled: "Don't be angry, in fact, this is not wronged by you!" Under my command, Yang Dezheng, Fan Long, etc., which one is not a mighty general, which one is not young and handsome, the princess admires heroes, I believe she will not dislike them! Li Qingxia glared at Yang Peng with a red face, and asked after a while: "Is this a bet?" Yang Peng nodded, "Yes." Li Qingxia hesitated, raised her head and looked at Yang Peng, "I promise you!" ”

Yang Peng smiled and picked up his wine glass, "The gambling contract has been decided, and it depends on how the world develops!" Li Qingxia couldn't help but beat a drum in her heart when she saw Yang Peng's well-organized appearance, but since the gambling contract had been made, there was no need to think about it.

After Li Qingxia said goodbye and left, Yang Peng and Yelu Hanyu were still sitting in the water pavilion drinking and chatting. Yang Peng took a sip of wine and couldn't help but sigh: "This princess is amazing!" Yelu Hanyu smiled: "She was led by your nose from beginning to end, isn't it amazing?" Yang Peng nodded, "Even so, I still made a mistake!" Yelu Hanyu nodded, "She said that the eldest brother wants to build a powerful empire comparable to the Han and Tang Dynasties, and the eldest brother couldn't help but laugh!" This smile reveals the heart of the eldest brother! With Li Qingxia's shrewdness, she must have seen it, so there will be a gambling contract later! Yang Peng nodded, "That's why I said that this Li Qingxia is amazing, and she can still stand out under completely unfavorable circumstances!" ”

Yelu Hanyu frowned slightly and asked, "Big brother really wants to carry out this bet?" Yang Peng nodded, "Of course!" Either the man doesn't agree, or if he does, he must do it! Since I promised her, I will never break my word! ”

Yelu Hanyu said with some concern: "Our grain and grass problem will not be solved until at least a year later, that is to say, we only have one year to attack Western Xia!" A year's time is not long or short, although the Western Xia has suffered a great setback, but our army wants to destroy the Western Xia in a year's time, I am afraid that it is difficult to say that it is a sure victory! ”

Yang Peng drank a glass of wine, Jin Xiuying hurriedly came up and poured Yang Peng full, Yang Peng smiled at her, Jin Xiuying was pleasantly surprised, and her heart was pounding. Yang Peng turned back to Yelu Hanyu and said: "It's interesting to do something that is a little risky, if you win safely, it will be boring!" ”

Yelu Hanyu smiled slightly, glanced at Yang Peng, and said angrily: "You are really bad enough, although you agreed to the gambling contract, you used the gambling contract to stumble her!" Yang Peng said with a smile: "Who told her to make such a bet, it is natural to make a bet on herself!" Yelu Hanyu glanced at Yang Peng, "I'm not talking about this matter, I'm talking about the prerequisite you put forward, asking her to take the throne before the spring of next year!" Hey, in this way, the Western Xia is bound to have civil strife, and the already insufficient strength will be further consumed, and it will not be possible to create a situation of endless stalemate in the civil war, so that we can reap the benefits of the fishermen! ”

Yang Peng glanced at Yelu Hanyu and said with a smile: "You can see it?" Yelu Hanyu said: "If I see it, then Li Qingxia must also see it!" Frowning, "It's just that in terms of the current situation, she has no choice but to take risks!" He glanced at Yang Peng and complained: "It's really bad that you forced such a beautiful woman into such a situation!" ”

Yang Peng smiled bitterly: "No, you just saw her, and you actually stood on her side, I'm your man!" Yelu Hanyu pursed his lips and smiled, "I know that you are my man, but you don't have to talk about it all the time!" Yang Peng said solemnly: "That's not possible!" Such a beautiful wife, I have to say it a hundred times a day! ”

Jeruhanyu's heart rejoiced. After Li Qingxia left the palace, the three cronies waiting at the door immediately greeted her and bowed together: "Princess." Li Qingxia came back to her senses, turned her head to look at the Yanwang Mansion behind her, and said to the three of them: "Go back." Then they boarded the carriage, and the other three stepped on their horses one after another, and Gao Feng shouted: "Go!" "The group set off and went to the hotel. Along the way, Li Qingxia didn't speak, and the three cronies were very curious about what the princess said to King Yan, and their hearts were itching, but the princess didn't say it, and they didn't want to ask.

When the group returned to the hotel, Li Qingxia suddenly sighed: "King Yan, it's even more terrifying than I expected!" The three cronies were all shocked, and Gao Feng couldn't help but ask; What did the princess and the king of Yan say? The other two were also curious.

Li Qingxia was silent for a moment and sighed: "This person is almost invulnerable, and what is even more terrifying is that he has unparalleled ambitions, he wants to create a great empire that surpasses the Han and Tang Dynasties!" The three of them were taken aback, and Li Xu frowned and said, "In this case, peace is impossible!" With our current ability in Great Xia, I'm only afraid of ......"

Gao Feng glared and roared: "I'm afraid of his fart!" If Yan Yunjun kills him, let's fight with him! Even if he dies, I'm going to pull a few of him to make a back!! These words made everyone's pride rise sharply. Li Wenchang said loudly: "What Gao Feng said is good! It's a big deal, and after 20 years, he is a good man again! ”

Li Qingxia said: "I made a bet with King Yan...... the three of them looked at each other, and they all thought: With such a relationship between the two sides, are they still in the mood to bet? Li Qingxia said: "I bet with him that Yan Yun won't be able to destroy Great Xia within two years!" The three of them were taken aback, they didn't expect to make such a bet, this is simply betting on the survival of the country!! Li Xu asked, "I don't know what the bet between the princess and the king of Yan is?" ”

Li Qingxia said lightly: "If I win, King Yan will not be able to invade our Great Xia in his lifetime!" ......" Gao Feng was overjoyed: "Great! What's so great about King Yan, it's not like we're a princess!! Li Xu frowned and said: "It's easy to say, with the current situation in my country, if you want to resist, I'm afraid it's not easy!" Gao Feng glared and roared: "I don't believe we can't resist it for even two years!" Li Wenchang frowned and said: "Whether you can resist or not, I have to say another thing, I'm worried that King Yan will keep his promise?" This kind of thing, I have a hard time believing that he will keep his promise! Gao Feng and Li Xu nodded sympathetically.

Li Qingxia said categorically: "I believe he will definitely keep his promise!" A man like King Yan will either not agree to you, but since he has agreed, he will definitely do it! The three of them couldn't help but nod. Gao Feng said loudly: "In this case, we only need to think about how to resist Yan Yun's attack here, we will definitely be able to resist it!" ”

Li Xu glanced at Li Qingxia and asked, "I don't know what the princess's bet is?" Li Qingxia's calm face was flushed with a little blush, and said: "There is nothing to say about my bet, if we lose, the country is gone, everything is gone!" It's just that he put forward a prerequisite, I must become the master of Western Xia, this bet will be executed, and there is a time limit, before the spring of next year! ”

Gao Feng said loudly: "What's this, the princess should have been the emperor of our Western Xia a long time ago!" If the princess had been the emperor a long time ago, our Xixia would not have gotten to the point where it is today! ”

Li Xu said in a deep voice: "This is a poisonous plan of King Yan, he wants us to kill each other within Great Xia, so he can sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman!" Li Wenchang frowned and nodded, but Gao Feng had a blank look.

Li Qingxia said helplessly: "I know this, but what can we do!" Judging from the current situation, our Great Xia is in the most disadvantageous situation, and a year later, once Yanyun has enough grain and grass, our Great Xia will bear the brunt! At that time, even if we resisted desperately, we were afraid that it would be difficult to reverse the fate of the country's ruin! Only by taking risks, taking risks, there may be a glimmer of life! Yan Wang's move is not a conspiracy, but a conspiracy, he knows that I have no choice!! Everyone was silent, their hearts were very heavy, they only felt that King Yan was really a terrible demon king, and the fate of himself and the entire Great Xia seemed to be in his hands, and now he could only look forward to the favor of the heavens, so that the princess could successfully ascend the throne, and after a year, he would be able to resist Yan Yun's offensive. However, this is not easy, a year later, Yan Yun's attack will definitely be like a landslide like a tsunami, it will be a terrible military disaster that Great Xia has never encountered since the founding of the country, whether it can be resisted, even the peak of the biggest nerve is completely uncertain.

Li Qingxia looked at the night sky and muttered: "Do your best to obey the destiny of heaven, it depends on whether God favors us in Daxia!" ”

The next morning, Li Qingxia came to bid farewell to Yang Peng, and then led his men to leave Yanyun and go back to Western Xia. She has achieved the purpose of this trip, and she knows what she should do, but she doesn't know whether she succeeds or fails at all, for the first time, she feels that her fate is not controlled in her own hands, and at the same time, she faintly feels a little lucky, glad that she was born in the same era as Chen Xiao, an extraordinary person, and this life will not be wasted, even if she dies in his hands in the end, there are no regrets!

The group left Tianjing New Town, Li Qingxia glanced back, and her beautiful eyes revealed a complicated and inexplicable expression. At this time, Yang Peng was looking through the official documents in the study. Wang Kai hurriedly came in with a secret guard dressed as a junior, hugged his fists and said, "King Yan, about those widows, our people have made some discoveries. Yang Peng raised his head and looked at the secret guard who looked like a little two. The secret guard stepped forward and clasped his fists and bowed: "My subordinates have seen the master!" ”

Yang Peng asked, "What's the situation?" The secret guard said: "My subordinates were ordered to disguise themselves as Xiao Er to monitor those Japanese people, and I heard them talk last night, and one of the old men called the young man His Royal Highness, and later heard him claim to be the crown prince, and also said, 'Do your best to open up the territory for Japan.'" ”

Yang Peng frowned and said, "It's really a member of the Japanese royal family!" This guy came all the way to Tianjing New Town, definitely not to enjoy the mountains and rivers! Now that the Japanese are invading Goryeo, what do the Japanese princes want to do when they come to me? At this point, he looked at the secret guard and asked; What else did they say? ”

Mi Wei said: "They also say that our Yanyun is much richer than imagined, and occupying one of our regions is far better than the entire territory of Goryeo!" Yang Peng sneered: "What a big breath! If it weren't for the internal problems in China, how much damage could you Japanese people cause? Looking at the guard, "Anything else?" ”

The secret guard said: "The prince said: 'Don't fight with Yan Yun's army for the time being, but also unite with Yan Yun and use Yan Yun's power to contain the Khitans, so that we can annex Goryeo, and then annex Liao, and then fight a decisive battle with Yan Yun and occupy the Central Plains after the strength is enough.'" In the end, the cowardly Song State in the south was left, and it was not worth mentioning. In this way, the grand plan of great Japan to dominate the world has come to an end! ’

Yang Peng sneered and asked the secret guard: "Is that all?" Hidden Kill nodded, clenched his fists and said, "At present, I only know about these situations. ”

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