Chapter 420, Relationship Deterioration,

Yang Peng took Ye Yu Guanyin off the horse, put it on the ground, and said with a smile: "Guanyin, why did you run here?" Ya Yu Guanyin said angrily: "Don't you want me to come, then I'll go!" With that, he turned and prepared to turn over and get on his horse. Yang Peng hurriedly grabbed her and said with a smile: "How could I not be happy, your sudden appearance really gave me such a big surprise!" Ya Yin Guanyin smiled. Yang Peng took her to a bonfire and sat down, and instructed Wang Kai, "Get some food and wine." Wang Kai answered, and went down to prepare.

Yang Peng turned his head sideways and saw the dusty face of Ye Yu Guanyin, and he couldn't help but feel pity in his heart. Seeing the look in Yang Peng's eyes, Ya Yu Guanyin smiled and said, "What kind of expression are you, I'm not your useless concubine!" Yang Peng smiled.

The king came with a wooden plate of roast meat and wine, placed it in front of Ya Yin Guanyin, and then bowed and retreated. Ye Yu Guanyin came all the way, didn't care about eating, he was already very hungry, and now when he saw the food, he immediately picked it up and devoured it, and at the same time gulped wine, his heroism was not inferior to Yan Zhao Haojie, and it really deserved to be the daughter of the grassland, the princess of the world! Ordinary people would be stunned when they saw this scene, but Yang Peng had long been accustomed to it, and he didn't feel any different, and watched Ye Yu Guanyin eat and drink with a smile.

After a long time, Ya Yin Guanyin had eaten and drunk enough, took out a handkerchief, wiped his mouth, and then threw it away. Turning his head, he said to Yang Peng solemnly: "Don't think that I chased after you because I wanted you!" Yang Peng smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to press Ye Yu Guanyin's thigh, and said: "I know, who is Guanyin, how can he travel thousands of miles for the personal affairs of his children?" Ya Yin Guanyin smiled: "It's good that you know." Then he frowned and said: "This battle against Goryeo can't be without me!" Among all the people in Yanyun, there is no one who knows the Japanese people better than me! ”

Yang Peng couldn't help but be curious, and said: "You fought with the Japanese people once, and that time you almost wiped out the Japanese people in Goryeo. In your opinion, what kind of army is the Japanese army? ”

Ya Yin Guanyin showed the color of memory and said: "The Japanese people are very fierce like wild beasts, and the so-called 'samurai' among them are not afraid of death, they are fierce and crazy! Raising his head, he glanced at Yang Peng, and said with a smile: "But I don't think they are more difficult to deal with than Yan Yunjun!" Although the Japanese are crazy and fierce, their weaknesses are also very obvious, they have very few cavalry, the formation is simple, and the combination of troops is unreasonable, and the field front is his weakness. However, if you get into a melee, or in a city attack and defense battle, it will not be easy to deal with the Japanese people, especially the elite samurai among the Japanese people," said Ye Yu Guanyin frowned at this point, and continued: "These samurai are extremely powerful in the melee, and ordinary soldiers are by no means their opponents. ”

When Yang Peng heard Ya Yu Guanyin talking about the Japanese warriors, some scenes that appeared in his mind couldn't help but appear in his mind, and his face showed thought. Turning his head to look at Ya Yu Guanyin, he asked, "Are there many such warriors you are talking about?" Ya Yu Guanyin shook his head and said with a smile: "If there are a lot of them, is there still heavenly reason?" These warriors are limited in number, and their status in their army is somewhat similar to that of the Liao State's Tiefutu and Yanyun's Xuanjia Army, and they are the most elite force among the Japanese people! But even these people are nothing remarkable in the field! ”

Yang Peng nodded, thinking. Suddenly feeling something leaning on his shoulder, Yang Peng came back to his senses, turned his head to look, and found that it was Ya Yu Guanyin leaning on his shoulder, closed his eyes, and said, "Don't move, I'll just rest like this." Yang Peng smiled gently, stretched out his right hand, wrapped around the slender waist of Ye Yu Guanyin, picked up a branch with the other hand, stretched into the bonfire and picked up the bonfire, the flame jumped a little, and it burned again, and the surroundings immediately became hot again.

Early the next morning, the group continued to hurry, the sound of horses' hooves rumbled, the smoke and dust rolled, and rushed straight to Yanjing.

The gaze turned to Tianjing New Town. The Tibetan envoy Zambala, and the Western Xia envoy Li Tianhao were taken to the palace hall by the hidden guards. The two suddenly met at the door, Li Tianhao couldn't help but be surprised, and Zambala showed a very angry look and glared at Li Tianhao.

The two were brought into the hall, only to see a woman in an official robe, noble temperament, and beautiful appearance sitting behind the first book case and looking at the file, the two did not recognize her, and they couldn't help but feel very surprised to see that it was actually a woman sitting on the throne.

Jiang Li, who was standing aside in military uniform, shouted: "When you see the princess, why don't you salute?" ”

The two of them were taken aback, recalling some rumors they had heard all along, and couldn't help but secretly say: "This must be the legendary Princess Han Bing, or Princess Yelu." Thinking so, he bowed down and said, "I've seen the princess." Yelu Hanyu raised his head, glanced at the two of them, put down the file, and said, "Originally, the vendetta between the two of you has nothing to do with our Yan Yun, and we Yan Yun can't control it. But this is Yanyun, and if you make trouble here, we have to take care of it. Zambala glanced at Li Tianhao next to him, looking very annoyed, but he didn't say anything, he seemed to be suppressing his anger.

Yelu Hanyu said: "I called you here today, not to try the case, but to remind you, don't make trouble here, let the past pass, if something similar happens again, don't blame us for not being merciful!" Do you understand? Li Tianhao hurriedly bowed down and said, "Thank you for your forgiveness!" I will never dare to do anything wrong again! Yelu Hanyu nodded and looked at Zambala, who bowed and said; Rest assured, I didn't have any bad thoughts before, and I will never have any bad thoughts in the future! What he meant was obviously that Li Tianhao and them intended to cause harm, not that they were causing trouble.

Yelu Hanyu said: "Very good, you can go back to the guest house!" When the two of them heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and Li Tianhao hurriedly asked, "May I ask Niangniang, when will King Yan receive you?" ”

Yelu Hanyu said: "King Yan has something important to rush to Yanjing, so he can't meet you." The two of them were very surprised, and some dissatisfaction also rose in their hearts, feeling that King Yan could have met him before going to Yanjing, but he didn't meet him, and now he went to Yanjing again and hung himself in Tianjing New Town, which is clearly despising himself and the country behind him. Although the two were dissatisfied in their hearts, they didn't dare to show the slightest. This is true between countries, and even between all things in heaven and earth, the weak eat the strong, the strong are respected, and the weak have no dignity at all!

Yelu Hanyu saw the unnatural expressions of the two in his eyes, naturally understood their thoughts, and couldn't help sneering secretly, and said: "You don't have to worry about anything, King Yan has already explained before leaving, and Sister Han Bing has full authority to deal with your affairs!" Forget it today, you go back to the inn to rest first, and tomorrow the Tibetan envoy will meet you, and the day after tomorrow the Xixia envoy will meet you! The two bowed and bowed, and then withdrew.

The two people came out of the Yanwang Mansion, and found that their entourage had also been released and were waiting at the door, the two sides looked at each other angrily, if it weren't for the guards of the Yanwang Mansion to isolate the two sides, I was afraid that the two sides would have already fought.

The two silently boarded their respective carriages and left the Yanwang Mansion. Zambala sat in the carriage, frowning slightly and looking thoughtful. Suddenly, there was a noise outside, the sound of footsteps, carriages, and the shouting of his attendant guards. Zambala hurriedly lifted the curtain, only to see that it was the people of the Western Xia mission who caught up, and his guards and entourage drew their swords one after another, their faces were full of anger, and they were about to make a move, Zambala hurriedly shouted: "Don't move!" The crowd who were about to start suddenly heard Zambala's shout and pressed it, but the scimitar was not sheathed, and they still glared at each other. However, the people on the side of the Western Xia mission did not seem to show any hostility.

I saw Li Tianhao's carriage come to the side of Zambala's carriage and stop, the curtain was lifted, revealing Li Tianhao's face, Zambala sneered: "Is Lord Li still unwilling to give up?" ”

Li Tianhao sighed and said apologetically: "It's a last resort to do that!" Then he said: "The prime minister is knowledgeable, his wisdom is as deep as the sea, and he must be able to understand the hardships below!" Zambala sneered, "You are emulating Ban Chao of the Han Dynasty. It's a pity that you are neither Ban Chao, nor Yan Yun is a weak country in the Western Regions, so this is simply ridiculous! ”

Li Tianhao smiled bitterly and said very sincerely: "Prime Minister, why don't we find a place to sit down and have a good talk?" Zambala actually had this intention, although he hated that the other party actually attacked and killed him, but he also understood that the other party's approach was also a last resort, and at the same time, he also hoped to stabilize the Xixia side so that the situation would not get out of control, so he nodded and said, "Let's go to the Tianjing Hotel and sit down." Li Tianhao was very happy, and immediately asked the deputy to bring most of the people back to the inn, and Zambala also asked the deputy to bring most of the people back to the inn. The two of them drove lightly and went to the Tianjing Hotel together. ……

Han Bing and Yelu Hanyu sat in the pavilion in the courtyard of Yelu Hanyu to play chess, Han Bing held white chess, Yelu Hanyu held black chess, black chess has formed a huge advantage over white chess left and right, white chess can only be hard support. After a few more moves, Yelu Hanyu's black chess pieces swallowed up a piece of white chess in one fell swoop, and the situation of white chess immediately became scattered, obviously defeated and unable to return to the sky. Han Bing let out a long breath, threw the white piece in his hand back to the chess cup, and said with a wry smile: "I lost again!" ”

Yelu Hanyu said with a smile: "Sister Han Bing is making rapid progress, she has been fighting with me for so long today, I believe that in time, it will be difficult for me to compete with Sister Han Bing!" Although Han Bing made up his mind in his heart that he must defeat Yelu Hanyu, he also knew that it would not happen overnight.

At this moment, Jiang Li led a secret guard dressed in civilian clothes over and reported: "Qi Qi two maidens, the guards in charge of monitoring the Tibetan envoys have returned. The plainclothes guard immediately came forward and bowed, "The villain greets the two maidens." ”

The eyes of the two women turned to the guard at the same time, and Yelutri asked, "You are in charge of monitoring the Tibetan envoys, but what have you discovered?" ”

The guard said: "Soon after the Tibetan envoy left, the Western Xia envoy caught up with the Tibetan envoy. The two were initially hostile, but soon seemed to reconcile, and the two sent most of their entourage to the Tianjing Hotel. The two of them chartered a box in the Tianjing Hotel, and their subordinates disguised themselves as Xiao Er to send drinks in, and saw with their own eyes that they were smiling and had a very harmonious relationship, and it seemed that they had completely turned enemies into friends. ”

Yelu Hanyu and Han Bing glanced at each other, looking very surprised, Liang Hongyu asked, "Did you hear what they said?" The guard said, "When the villains went in to deliver the drinks, they had stopped talking, and our people lurking next door could not hear them clearly, and their voices were very low. ”

Han Bing frowned and asked, "Is there anything else you haven't reported?" The guard said, "No." Liang Hongyu said: "You continue to monitor, and if there is any situation, report it immediately." The guard bowed and retreated.

Han Bing looked at Yelu Hanyu and frowned, "Sister Yelu, I think this matter is a little unusual. Yelu Hanyu nodded and said, "Tubo sent us Yanyun with the idea of annexing Western Xia, and the Western Xia Mission obviously sensed the danger, so it raided the Tubo Mission, hoping to change the situation in one fell swoop by taking a risk." However, the situation now seems to be completely opposite to what we had expected! ”

Han Bing frowned and said, "What does that Zambala want to do, does he want to disobey their emperor's orders?" ”

Yelu Hanyu frowned and said, "It seems that this Zambala is not simple!" He is not a minister who can only be foolish, but a brave, resourceful and responsible talent, maybe he will really do something unexpected behind their emperor's back! Liang Hongyu said in disbelief: "Could it be that Western Xia and Tubo can still form an alliance?" Yelu Hanyu said: "Tubo and Western Xia have already secretly formed an alliance, and it is only because we Yanyun are too strong that the Tubo Emperor temporarily changed his decision. After a pause, "If Zambala gets in the way between us and the Tibetan Emperor and fabricates rumors, I'm afraid that he will really change the situation!" ”

Han Bing said fiercely: "Since he wants to get in the way, then kill him!" Yelu Hanyu looked thoughtful and said, "It's better to figure out the situation first." Han Bing nodded.

In the next two days, Han Bing met with the envoys of the two countries respectively, and to the surprise of Han Bing and Yelu Hanyu, the envoys of the two countries behaved in no way. However, in the evening after Han Bing finished meeting with the two of them, the secret guard who was in charge of monitoring the envoys of the two countries came to report that the envoys of the two countries had met secretly again, and the two had a long talk, but it was not clear what they talked about. The two women felt that there must be some agreement between them, but it was not clear what agreement had been reached.

Soon after, the envoys of the two countries left one after another, and the two sides had the same road for a long time, but they deliberately walked one after the other, and did not walk together, which was obviously for Yan Yun to escort the officers and soldiers.

A few days later, the Tibetan delegation entered Qinfeng Road. On this day, the members of the mission marched west along Weishui under the escort of hundreds of Yanyun officers and soldiers. At this time, it was noon, and the scorching sun was shining on the earth, and the whole earth was bright, and everyone felt very hot and unbearable.

Seeing a mulberry forest by the river in front of him from a distance, Zambala couldn't help but be overjoyed, and pointed to the mulberry forest with a horsewhip and said, "Let's go to the forest in front of us to rest and rest, and then hurry after this poisonous day has passed!" The officer Yan Yun who was in charge of protecting them had an indifferent attitude.

The group quickened their pace towards the woods. Coming to the woods, the poisonous sunlight instantly turned into a little light spot, the bright light suddenly dimmed, and a gust of wind suddenly blew in the face, shaking the branches and leaves rustling, everyone only felt extremely cool, the heat that was originally wrapped in the body was very irritating, and it disappeared by this cool breeze.

Everyone sat down to rest, took out dry food and water, ate and drank, and soon the woods were quiet again, and everyone fell asleep unconsciously.

Yes! A scream suddenly appeared, breaking the silence in the woods, and Zambala and the others woke up one after another, and then saw many black-clothed men fighting with the Yanyun army guarding them, although the Yanyun army was relatively numerous, they were defeated by the other party. When Zambala and the others suddenly saw such a scene, they were all shocked and inexplicable, and they couldn't figure out what was going on for a while? At this moment, I saw that the officer Yan Yun, who was in charge of protecting them, turned his head and shouted loudly to this side while fighting with others: "Run, it's a Xixia person!" ”

Everyone was shocked, and they didn't have time to think about it, and they turned around and fled for their lives. The sound of fighting and screaming came from behind him, and gradually disappeared, and Zambala's heart couldn't help but feel guilty, feeling that it was thanks to Yan Yunjun's rescue at a critical time, but he was doing something unfavorable to Yan Yun behind his back. Immediately thinking of the Tangut people, he couldn't help but be very annoyed, turned his head to take a look, suddenly his heart moved, and said secretly: Is it really the Tangut people?

At this moment, the sound of hurried horses' hooves suddenly came, and someone shouted: "Tangut people! Tangut people! Zambala looked in the direction from which the sound of horses' hooves came from, and saw nearly a hundred black-clad knights whistling towards him wielding long knives. Zambala stared at them with wide eyes, trying to tell whether they were Tangut or not, but the other party's black-clothed and masked face, and the cavalry blade was not special, so there was no way to tell the difference, but looking at their appearance, it seemed that they looked more like Han people than like party members, but if it was really party people, they were worried about being recognized, and it was also very normal to disguise themselves as Han people. Zambala frowned and muttered, "Is it really a party member?" What the hell is Li Tianhao doing, haven't we already reached a secret agreement, why are you here to kill me? Doesn't he believe me? ”

While he was thinking wildly, the retinue and guards had fled west with him. But how could two legs escape over four legs, and in the blink of an eye, Zambala and the others were caught up by the black knight. I saw the black-clothed knight rush into the middle of the Tibetan mission like a whirlwind, killing the corpse of the Tibetan mission and flying blood, although the people of the Tibetan mission resisted hard, but they had no power to resist, Zambala and the others were shocked, and they couldn't understand how there could be such a fierce and sharp war horse among the Tangut people? You must know that the guards of the mission are also thousands of warriors, but they have no ability to resist under the opponent's iron hooves and long knives.

How clever Zambala was, he suddenly thought of a possibility, and his face changed dramatically.

I saw several black-clothed knights rushing towards him, and several guards around Zambala immediately greeted him. The black knight rushed through the guards, only to see a few human heads flying into the sky. Zambala was a civil official, and he couldn't do anything with people at all, so he quickly turned around and ran away, and several black-clothed knights caught up, and couldn't help but say, several long knives fell at the same time, two slashed Zambala's back, and the other slashed Zambala's head, and Zambala died without having time to snort. When the members of the mission saw Zambala killed, they fled in all directions, and as they ran, they heard a man in black shouting in the party language: "The target is dead, retreat!" Then I saw the terrible black knights depart quickly, and a moment later they climbed over a hill in the distance and disappeared.

The people of the Tibetan mission were shocked, and then they saw many black-clothed men running out of the woods and running wildly in the direction of the black-clothed knight's departure. Then they saw the Yan Yun soldiers who were in charge of protecting them running out of the woods and running towards this direction.

The two sides converged and found Zambala's body. The people of Tubo looked at the bloody corpse in front of them, and they were extremely sad and indignant, hating the treacherous Tangut people to the extreme. Officer Yanyun said: "This is a wild place, it is not suitable to stay for a long time, we hurry to Longxi, there is the main force of our army, and it will be safe when we get there." Thinking that those hateful and terrible Tangut people might appear again at any time, everyone couldn't help but panic in their hearts, and hurriedly packed up Zambala's body, and the others didn't care, and followed Yan Yunjun towards Longxi.

……

Turning their gaze to Yanjing, Yang Peng and his entourage rushed to Yanjing City, went straight to the old Yanwang Mansion, and settled down. Yang Jiumei, who stayed behind in Yanjing to get the news, hurriedly came to the palace hall and met Yang Peng. Yang Peng and Yang Jiumei have been separated for a long time, and they can't help but be very excited when they see each other at this time.

"Ninth sister, hard work!" Yang Peng said softly. Yang Jiumei's heart fluttered, and she only felt that with his words, there was nothing to be tired from many days. Ye Yu Guanyin looked at Yang Jiumei and then at Yang Peng, and smiled coldly.

"Ninth sister, sit down and talk." Yang Peng said. Yang Jiumei walked to the left and sat down. Immediately took out a letter from his arms, stood up again, walked in front of Yang Peng, presented it with both hands, and said: "This is the information I just received from Zhongjing of the Liao Kingdom, and I originally planned to forward it immediately, but I didn't expect that King Yan had already arrived." ”

Yang Peng stretched out his hand to take the letter, and inadvertently the fingers of the two sides touched, and a strange feeling surged into the hearts of the two, and they couldn't help but feel a wave in their hearts. Yang Peng took the letter, opened the envelope, took out the letterhead, unfolded it and looked at it, Yang Jiumei and Ye Yu Guanyin saw that his eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and they thought that something very bad must have happened. Ya Yu Guanyin was worried about the Liao Kingdom and couldn't help but ask; "Big brother, what exactly did the letter say?"

Yang Peng said: "Not long ago, the Liao State gathered 200,000 troops to the north to reinforce Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing, but on the north bank of the Heihe River, the 100,000 Mongolian war cavalry suddenly appeared and copied the back road, and the army was chaotic. The 200,000 Khitan army was attacked by the 300,000 Mongolian army in the north and south, and the whole army was annihilated. ”

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