The maid hurriedly said: "My master has prepared a table of wine and wants to drink with King Yan." Yang Peng asked; Who is the owner of your house? The maid said, "My master is Mrs. Hanhai." A charming and enchanting face immediately appeared in Yang Peng's mind, and when he thought of the spring breeze that night, he couldn't help but move his index finger. looked at the maid and said, "Lead the way!" The maid answered, and quickly turned to lead the way. Yang Peng said to Wang Kai: "Send someone home to inform the ladies, and say that I won't come back tonight." Wang Kai agreed, and immediately ordered a secret guard, and the secret guard galloped towards the Yan Palace. Yang Peng followed the maid surrounded by Wang Kai and more than 100 other secret guards. ……

Yang Peng opened his eyes and found that the sky was already bright, and the faint sunlight was spilling in through the dense branches and leaves, speckled spots, and the cheerful chirping of birds and birds.

Yang Peng glanced down and saw that Li Ruolan was sleeping sweetly on his chest, with green silk piled up on his chest like a dark cloud, and there were still two blush on his cheeks, which made him look more coquettish. Recalling last night's madness, Yang Peng couldn't help but feel his heart flutter, that kind of taste was very charming, and the feeling of being with his wife and concubines was completely different, at that time, every cell in the body seemed to be dancing because of desire, it was a pure and extreme feeling, there would never be that feeling between men and women with feelings, it was a crazy and decadent feeling.

There was a sudden sound of footsteps on the stairs, very soft and fast, it should be Li Ruolan's personal maid. Yang Peng turned his head to look outside the tent, and faintly saw a graceful figure coming to the bedside, and said in a soft voice a little nervously: "Qiqi Yan Wang, someone from the palace said that there is an important military intelligence report." ”

Yang Peng immediately sat up, and with this move, Li Ruolan also woke up, and seeing Yang Peng who seemed to be leaving, she subconsciously wrapped herself around like a beautiful snake, and said angrily: "Let's accompany the slave family again!" Yang Peng turned his head and kissed her red lips, and said softly: "I have something to do, you can sleep for a while!" Li Ruolan just pestered Yang Peng and didn't follow. Yang Peng couldn't help but be a little annoyed when he saw her messing around like this, and said in an unhappy tone: "I'm going to deal with business, don't mess around!" Li Ruolan saw Yang Peng's tone and demeanor change suddenly, and she couldn't help but be shocked and panicked.

Seeing her like this, Yang Peng's heart couldn't help but soften, and he softened his tone and said softly: "We're going to be here for a long time, I'm going to deal with business now, you can have a good rest." Then he opened the tabernacle and got out of bed. The maid who was standing outside hurriedly stepped forward to help Yang Peng get dressed.

Yang Peng went down the stairs and walked out of the embroidery building, only to see Jiang Li, who was dressed in military uniform, standing waiting not far away, couldn't help but smile slightly, and walked forward. Jiang Li also saw Yang Peng, her eyebrows showed joy, and she hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "I've seen the master!" Yang Peng helped her up and said softly: "It's still so much courtesy with me!" Jiang Li glanced at Yang Peng affectionately and said, "This is not home, it's better to pay attention to some." ”

Yang Peng smiled, grabbed Jiang Li's slender hand and walked outside. The secret guards scattered around to protect Yang Peng saw Yang Peng walking outside, so they came out of the hiding place one after another and gathered over.

Yang Peng asked Jiang Li as he walked: "You came here so early in the morning, there must be some urgent military situation, right?" Jiang Li shook her head and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not an emergency military situation, it's just a matter of the arrival of the envoys from Tubo and the imperial court." The ladies, ladies, felt that they should let their masters know at once, so they sent their subordinates over. When Yang Peng heard this, he understood what she meant, it must be the wives and concubines who were eating Li Ruolan's vinegar, so he found this reason to call her to call him back. He smiled and asked, "When did the envoys from these two parties arrive?" ”

"Early this morning. The size of both missions was not small, and both came with hundreds of people, and both carried rich gifts! Glancing at Yang Peng, he hugged his fists and said, "Since it is still early, it is inconvenient to disturb the master, so Mrs. Han Bing arranged the two missions in the other two guest houses on behalf of the master." "Yanyun's inn is a place used to receive envoys from various countries, it was originally a large mansion rebuilt, and envoys from all over the country were arranged there, but later Yanyun found that if the envoys of various countries lived together, it was easy to communicate with each other, which was not a good thing, so not long ago the inn was renovated, and the original large inn was canceled, and it was replaced by more than a dozen small inns that were relatively independent from each other, and the envoys from various countries were arranged in these small inns.

Yang Peng's face was thoughtful. After a while, a large group of people left Li Ruolan's mansion, stepped on their horses, and returned to Yanwang's mansion. Li Ruolan was uneasy, and after Yang Peng left, she hurriedly got up, ordered someone to call her father, and told her what happened just now in detail.

Li Shicheng frowned; "My daughter made a mistake! This King Yan is a great hero of the world, not a dumb and incompetent monarch, although he likes women, but he will never be fascinated by women, let alone delay the right thing for any woman! Li Shicheng's judgment of Yang Peng is actually not entirely correct, the first half of the sentence is right, and the second half of the sentence is not! Yang Peng will not delay the business for Li Ruolan, because in his heart, Li Ruolan is just a venting tool and has no feelings at all, but for Yang Tong and others, it is not the case, for them, Yang Peng can delay serious things, and even love the country and love the beauty more.

Li Ruolan felt that what her father said was reasonable, and couldn't help but nodded. Li Shicheng glanced at Li Ruolan and sighed, "Daughter, for a big hero like King Yan, you can't deal with the first emperor of Western Xia!" This will only backfire, he will think that you are ignorant, hinder him from doing business, and then he will feel disgusted with you! ”

Li Ruolan's face turned pale, and she asked a little overwhelmed, "Father, what should I do now?" ”

Li Shicheng pondered: "Just this once, it shouldn't be a big problem." He glanced at Li Ruolan and said with a smile: "When King Yan is angry and thinks of the benefits of his daughter, he will naturally come to you again!" Li Ruolan's delicate face was flushed and her expression was charming. Li Shicheng advised: "The next time I see King Yan, don't be like this!" Daughter, you just need to use your gentleness as a woman to serve King Yan wholeheartedly, don't be spoiled, in front of a big hero like King Yan, this is a big taboo! Li Ruolan nodded and said, "Never!" ”

Li Shicheng said with a wistful expression: "If your daughter can become the princess of King Yan, it will be no better!" Then he sighed, "But this kind of thing can't be rushed!" Li Ruolan couldn't help but sigh. Suddenly remembered something and asked, "Father, what I told you to do, can you do it?" ”

Li Shicheng nodded, "This is a big deal, and my father will naturally not slack off." By this time, every princess should have received our gifts! Li Ruolan nodded, her face thoughtful.

Yang Peng returned to Yanwang's Mansion and saw many gifts in the hall, piled up in the east and in the west, and couldn't help but be very surprised, and asked Jiang Li beside him: "What's going on with these gifts?" ”

Jiang Li glanced at the gifts and said with a smile: "These are all sent by Li Ruolan's father and daughter," Yang Peng smiled, "I don't need gifts, you can bring someone to send these gifts back." Jiang Li smiled: "The master is wrong, these gifts are not for the master, but for the princesses." Yang Peng was stunned for a moment, and then understood the intentions of Li Ruolan's father and daughter, they wanted to please the princesses, so that the princesses could speak well for them by their side.

I only heard Jiang Li continue: "The princesses are reluctant to accept their gifts, so their subordinates temporarily stacked these gifts on the living room and prepared to send someone to send them back. Yang Peng nodded, smiled and said to Jiang Li: "You can handle it!" Jiang Li was really happy to see that her master trusted her so much.

Turning his gaze to the station of the envoy of Western Xia, one of Li Tianhao's cronies and entourage rushed in from outside in a hurry, and said hurriedly: "Oh no, my lord, the envoy from Tubo is also here." Li Tianhao was taken aback, but then he felt that this was also a matter of course, after all, today's Yanyun is like the sky, and the strength of the soldiers is arrogant in the world, Tubo and Song are worried that Yanyun's soldiers will fall on their heads, so they sent an envoy to flatter.

Li Tianhao walked to a small table and sat down, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, put down the tea bowl, and said lightly: "If others want to please Yan Yun, it doesn't matter to us!" ”

The cronies hurriedly said, "My lord, if it's just to curry favor." Especially Tubo, I'm afraid it's not as simple as just trying to please Yan Yun! Li Tianhao heard what he said, glanced at him, frowned, and said, "Say whatever you want to say, don't beat around the bush!" ”

The cronie said: "My lord, will Tubo want to form an alliance with Yan Yun to plot against us in Great Xia?" ”

Li Tianhao was taken aback, then frowned and thought about it, only felt that this possibility was very likely to exist, although Tubo and his own side signed an alliance, but now the strength and weakness are very obvious, how dare Tubo and Yan Yun clash head-on, but with Yan Yun to destroy my Great Xia, it is more attractive to the Tubo people. Now that Yan Yun is short of food and grass, it is the time for Tubo to make a move, if this is the case, the purpose of Tubo's trip should be to test Yan Yun's reaction, if Yan Yun does not oppose it much, they will definitely use troops against my Great Xia in the near future! Although Li Tianhao's speculation is somewhat different from the facts, it is basically correct, Tubo and Yanyun have actually reached an agreement, and the purpose of the Tubo mission's trip is not actually to negotiate, but to confirm the agreement.

Li Tianhao thought of the back, and couldn't help but break down in a cold sweat. He frowned and muttered, "You can't let things go this way, you can't let things go this way!" The cronie said, "My lord, my subordinates have an idea. Li Tianhao looked at him and asked, "What do you think?" The cronie whispered: "I wonder if you still remember the story of Ban Chao's envoy to the Western Regions?" Li Tianhao was stunned for a moment, then his heart moved, he looked at his cronies, frowned, and said, "Do you want me to follow Ban Chao's example and lead people to raid the Hun mission?" The cronies nodded, "Your Excellency is wise! As long as we slaughter the Tubo Mission, the Tubo people will inevitably be suspicious of Yan Yun, thinking that Yan Yun wants to attack them, so as to use their main forces to guard against Yan Yun. If you want to annex our Great Xia, you have to let go, and we will be able to get peace if we take advantage of the fishermen! ”

Li Tianhao nodded thoughtfully, looked out the window, and muttered: "King Yan has not received us for a long time, obviously he has no intention of making peace with us, we can't waste time in vain, we must do something!" Turning around, he said to his cronies: "You immediately go and find out where the Tibetan mission is located and the situation of the guard, and then report back immediately!" The cronies answered and ran down.

Li Tianhao turned around, looked at the sky outside the window in a daze, and said something in his mouth, and he didn't know what he was talking about.

At this time, on the top of the main hall of the Yan Palace, Yang Peng, the king of Yan, was receiving Wang Xiaozhi, the envoy sent by the Song court. Wang Xiaozhi sat on the left, smiling all over his face, and kept flattering Yang Peng, what a peerless hero in the past and present, what the mainstay of China, what the first hero of Zhongxing, etc., in short, all good words were piled up on Yang Peng, not so much that he was praising Yang Peng, but rather flattering.

Yang Peng took advantage of his respite to interrupt him: "Lord Wang is really ridiculous, I really dare not be ashamed!" Seeing that Wang Xiaozhi seemed to be going to continue on this topic, he immediately intercepted his words and asked, "Lord Wang, is the situation in Bianjing okay?" ”

Wang Xiaozhi said gratefully: "It's all thanks to the Yan King's pillar of optimus and the Central Plains, and we can wait for the military and civilians in Bianjing to sit back and relax!" King Yan's kindness to our Bianjing military and civilians is really innumerable, and King Yan is really the Buddha of our Bianjing military and civilians! When Your Majesty talked about King Yan, he was also grateful! ……”

Yang Peng smiled and asked, "Don't the people of Bianjing hate me?" Wang Xiaozhi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "King Yan is a great benefactor of the military and people in Jiangnan, where does this hatred begin?" It's too late for everyone to love King Yan! ”

Yang Peng smiled and said, "I heard that some people in the court are dissatisfied with me, and I also heard that Your Majesty once made up his mind to take advantage of my Yanyun's main attack on Western Xia to wave his army north?" ”

Wang Xiaozhi was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty has never had this kind of thought, Your Majesty has always trusted King Yan incomparably, and regards King Yan as the minister of Zhongxing's humerus!" King Yan may not know that this time there is indeed someone who urged His Majesty to take the opportunity to go north! But how wise His Majesty is, how can he be sowing discord and doing things that kill relatives and enemies, so he categorically refused, and once said that if King Yan is in need, the court will definitely send troops to support King Yan! What King Yan heard were the most vicious rumors, intending to provoke the relationship between King Yan and the court and His Majesty, King Yan must not be fooled! ”

Yang Peng smiled: "So, there is no such thing? Wang Xiaozhi shook his head vigorously, "There is no such thing!" Then he said: "That's all provoked by Wang Qinruo and a few other people, Your Majesty is already very impatient with them!" ”

Yang Peng's face was thoughtful. Wang Xiaozhi looked at Yang Peng cautiously, only to see that his face was thoughtful, his expression was extremely calm, and he couldn't see what he was thinking in his heart at all.

Yang Peng raised his head and looked at Wang Xiaozhi, Wang Xiaozhi saw Yang Peng looking at him, and couldn't help but feel a coercion, as if facing a fierce tiger, he couldn't help but shrink his body and hang his head.

Yang Peng said: "I have already felt the good intentions of the imperial court, please take me to pay tribute to Your Majesty when you go back!" Wang Xiaozhi hurriedly bowed down and said: "It must be, this is a matter within the official duty!" ”

Yang Peng smiled and said: "It's rare for adults to come here, so it's better to spend a few days in Tianjing New Town, and also appreciate the customs and customs of this Tianjing New Town." Wang Xiaozhi is not a native of the Central Plains, but a scholar from Jiangnan, the first time in his life to Tianjing New Town, the important ministers of the court are only one or two percent, a hundred wastes to be revitalized, and people are urgently needed, so Zhao Heng selected a group of talents from the local scholars to enrich the court, this Wang Xiaozhi was elected to the court on the same day, Wang Xiaozhi who had just entered the court was lowly and low, but because he had climbed Wang Qinruo, Pang Taishi, etc., he was able to rise to the top, and in a very short period of time he sat in the high position of the Ministry of Rites. This Wang Xiaozhi's promotion speed is definitely a miracle, there are many people who have created such a miracle throughout the ages, and the world thinks that this kind of person is a rare talent, but in fact, the people who create this miracle are basically waste who can only slap horses and have no real materials.

Wang Xiaozhi thought to himself: 'King Yan must have to give me many more gifts, so why should I leave in a hurry!' As soon as he thought of this, he stood up and respectfully bowed, "This will disturb King Yan!" ”

Yang Peng looked at Huang Guang, the head of the household, and ordered: "Huang Guang, you send Lord Wang back to the guest house for me." Huang Guang answered, walked up to the hall, and made a gesture of invitation to Wang Xiaozhi: "Please!" Wang Xiaozhi bowed to Yang Peng, and left the hall with Huang Guang.

Han Bing glanced at Wang Xiaozhi's back, snorted coldly, and mocked: "The imperial court is still the imperial court, and the officials are still the same officials!" ”

Zhang Xiang hugged his fist at Yang Peng and said, "King Yan, I don't know if I want to give some gifts to this Wang Xiaozhi?" Yang Peng waved his hand, "There's no need for that!" Zhang Xiang felt that it would be better to give some gifts to that Wang Xiaozhi, but since King Yan didn't think it was necessary, he didn't say anything more.

Yelu Hanyu said: "The imperial court sent such a messenger with a large number of gifts, and this envoy bowed his knees and looked like a servile when he saw the eldest brother. It can be seen that the imperial court is afraid of offending us and wants to maintain a good relationship with us. In this way, it is in the hands of the eldest brother, the strategic policy formulated by the eldest brother is to first the north and then the south, and it can be said that it is one of the most important policies to stabilize the south, and now that the imperial court has taken the initiative to show goodwill, this matter has become much easier! ”

Chai Yonghui said coldly: "The Zhao family has always been a despicable villain who does not pay attention to faithfulness, didn't Zhao Song join forces with foreign enemies to attack us many times before?" It's just that they didn't get a bargain! Therefore, Zhao Song's attitude today does not have to care too much, but we should be careful to guard against them, so as not to overturn the boat in the gutter! Our Yanyun has been invincible in the face of strong enemies since its rise, if we are calculated by this cowardly, incompetent, despicable and shameless Zhao Song, it will be a big loss! ”

Everyone smiled, and Yelu Hanyu said: "What Yonghui said is extremely true, although the attitude of the imperial court is very weak now, which is in line with our intentions, but we must not take it lightly!" Shanxi, and Huainan still need to be cautious, isn't there a saying 'be careful to sail a boat for ten thousand years', it is always wrong to be careful! He glanced at Han Bing and said with a smile: "There is Han Bing's sister in charge of guarding the Shanxi region, it must be foolproof," Han Bing couldn't help but be very happy when he heard Yelu Hanyu praise himself in front of his eldest brother.

Yelu Hanyu's gaze turned to Yang Peng's face and said, "Brother Duan Zhixian, who is guarding Huainan, is not so fine, it is better to remind him!" Yang Peng nodded and said with a smile: "Duan Zhixian is indeed brave and more than fine, and he often cares about the end!" He glanced at Yelu Hanyu and said, "I'll write a letter later, and order someone to send it to Huainan Duan Zhixian!" Yelu Hanyu nodded.

Zhang Xiang clenched his fists and said: "King Yan, now that the battle of Goryeo is coming to an end, should we send an envoy to Zhongjing of Liao to inquire about the situation?" Yang Peng thought about it, shook his head and said; There's no need for that. We have channels to obtain information from the Liao Imperial Court, and there is no need to send an embassy, which can obtain information very limited. Moreover, if we care too much about the attitude of the Liao State towards us, we are afraid that it will fuel the arrogance of the Khitan people, which will be counterproductive! Everyone felt that what Yang Peng said made sense and nodded.

Yang Peng glanced at everyone and said, "If nothing happens, our army will not have a big action in a short time, you just have to do what you need to do!" The crowd agreed in unison. Yang Peng said: "Okay, let's go down!" Everyone bowed to Yang Peng, and Yuguan withdrew from the hall, leaving only Han Bing and Yelu Hanyu. Han Bing hugged his fists and said, "Big brother, I'll go to the barracks to have a look." Yang Peng nodded and said softly: "Don't work too hard, go home early!" Han Bing's heart couldn't help but feel tender, mumbled, and turned to leave.

As soon as Han Bing left, Jiang Li rushed in from outside, first met Yang Peng and Yelu Hanyu, and then said to Yang Peng: "Master, Mrs. Lihua sent someone to invite King Yan, saying that there is something important to discuss with the master!" ”

Yang Peng and Yelu Hanyu exchanged a look, and the latter smiled: "Nine times out of ten, Her Royal Highness the princess is for the affairs of the imperial court envoy!" Yang Peng nodded, stood up, and asked Yelu Hanyu, "Mei'er, are you going with me?" Yelu Hanyu glanced at Yang Peng, "People invited you, but they didn't invite me, if I went, it would be too boring!" Go ahead, I'll go back and take a nap. ”

Yang Peng smiled and nodded, and walked outside. Soon after, Yang Peng came to the gate of 'Mrs. Zhao's Mansion' under the protection of the guards, and the guards guarding the door saw King Yan coming, and hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Meet King Yan!" Yang Peng and the others turned over and dismounted, and the two guards guarding the door immediately stood up and pushed the door of the mansion open. Yang Peng and the others walked straight into the door.

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