Yang Peng was dressed in civilian clothes, wandering the streets under the protection of Yan Ji and several people, it was afternoon at this time, the streets were bustling with pedestrians, the shouts of the foot merchants came and went, the shops on both sides, some opened their doors to do business, very lively, and some closed the doors, no popularity.

A few people walked into a teahouse on the corner of the street, only to see that less than a third of the customers were seated in the teahouse. Xiao Er greeted him with a smile on his face. was about to speak, but he was stunned, his eyes stared at Yan Ji who was following Yang Peng, and shouted in his heart: "Oh my God! It's so beautiful! There is such a beautiful woman in the world! She, she must be a fairy! ’

It was not surprising to see this, because it was all too common. Yan Ji's appearance and figure are peerless, or she doesn't apply any powder, and she is wearing men's clothes, otherwise, I am afraid that the people on the whole street will faint all the way. Yang Peng smiled and shouted, "Little Er! Xiao Er came back to his senses and realized that he had been rude, so he hurriedly bowed down and said, "A few guest officers, please sit upstairs, upstairs, there is a private room upstairs." As he spoke, he couldn't help but look at Yan Ji, and his heart fluttered again, only to feel that his soul seemed to have been hooked away. My heart was shocked, and I hurriedly looked away and didn't dare to look at it anymore, and I recited Amitabha Buddha vigorously in my heart, hehe, it seems that he regards Yan Ji as a goblin who has captivated the country and the city.

Yang Peng said, "No need," and then led everyone to a table near the window and sat down. Xiao Er wiped the table with a rag, and asked with a smile on his face, "What kind of tea does the guest officer want to drink?" We have all kinds of famous teas! ”

Yang Peng asked, "Is there Shuangjing tea?" "Yes, yes, yes." "Go to Shuangjing tea, and have a few plates of dim sum, just have a little bit of dim se." Xiao Er answered, and went to Zhang Luo busily. Yang Peng looked diagonally opposite the street corner and saw a four-story wooden building, with beams and cornices, magnificent, and brilliant luxury restaurant, but the luxury restaurant was closed and silent.

Xiao Er brought tea and snacks, said slowly, and prepared to retreat. Yang Peng shouted: "Little Er! Xiao Er hurriedly asked; What else does the guest officer command? Yang Peng pointed to the restaurant diagonally opposite and asked, "Why is that restaurant closed?" Could it be that business is not good? Xiao Er glanced in the direction of Yang Peng's finger and said, "The business of that restaurant is good, at this time in the past, the restaurant was already full, and it was difficult to find an empty position!" ”

Yan Ji said: "Since the business is very good, why is the door closed at this time?" Xiao Er said mockingly: "It's not like you're angry with King Yan!" Yang Peng and Yan Ji glanced at each other, and Yan Ji said, "How do you say this?" What kind of anger does a small businessman bet on with King Yan, and what kind of anger can he bet on? Xiao Er nodded approvingly, and said, "Who said it wasn't!" However, they were dissatisfied with King Yan's policy, so they collectively closed down their business, and wanted to give King Yan a dismount! ”

Yang Peng asked: "Is the owner of that restaurant the squire the old man?" ”

Xiao Er nodded and said, "Exactly." Yang Peng glanced at Xiao Er and asked, "Isn't your boss a squire of the scholar clan?" Xiao Er shook his head and said: "Our owner is an authentic businessman, and he is different from those squires of the scholar clan!" Yang Peng smiled: "Those squires of the scholar clan have closed down, your business must be much better, right?" Xiao Er sighed, shook his head and said, "Since King Yan promulgated the new policy, our business here has been even worse!" ”

Yang Peng felt a little surprised and asked, "Why is this happening, is King Yan's new policy bad?" Xiao Er shook his head and said, "That's not it." Then he said: "The small one is from Xinghua Village near Chengdu." There are five people in the family, and there is no land, and the family lives on the income of the little one who is the second child, and the life is tight. However, recently they received five acres of fertile land and a wooden house from the government, and the family's life is much better. Speaking of this, Xiao Er's face showed a happy smile. Then he frowned, "It's just that the customers of our teahouse are mainly those Confucian students, I heard that they responded to the call of the son, don't enter the hotel, don't enter the teahouse, and want to make our Chengdu depressed!" It's really inexplicable, isn't King Yan's new deal very good, why do you have to toss around! ”

Yang Peng's heart moved, and he asked, "Who is the son of this call?" Xiao Er thought about it, shook his head and said, "This little one is not clear!" Then he glanced at Yang Peng, and asked with hope and curiosity: "Guest officer, are you an officer of the Yanyun Army?" Although Yang Peng was dressed in civilian clothes, his heroic temperament really couldn't be concealed, so anyone who saw him would involuntarily associate him with Yan Yunjun's generals, which was also helpless.

Yang Peng smiled: "You think too much, we are businessmen from other places." Xiao Er sighed, and said with some regret: "The little one who is still a guest officer is the general of Yan Yunjun!" Hey, the little one hasn't seen what kind of person the generals of the Yan Yun Army are! ”

Yang Peng smiled and asked, "Do you really want to see them?" Xiao Er nodded and said, "The life of the little family is much better than in the past, and this can be said to be all given by King Yan!" Therefore, the little one wants to kowtow to King Yan to thank him for his great kindness! King Yan, we are not blessed to see it, and it is good to be able to meet the generals of Yan Yun Army, but to this day, even the little ones have not even seen the officers of Yan Yun Army! Yan Ji listened to Xiao'er's words, and couldn't help but smile and glance at Yang Peng.

Xiao Er inadvertently looked at Yan Ji, just saw her smile, his head buzzed, everything seemed to disappear, and there was only that peerless beautiful face left in front of him. Xiao Er's soul went down unrelentingly, with a clang, he hit a table, his feet hurt, and with a bang, he finally returned to his soul.

Yan Ji saw that Yang Peng was looking at herself intently, and her delicate face couldn't help but float a layer of redness, as if she had been stained with a layer of rouge, which made Yan Ji even more beautiful! Yang Peng couldn't help but sigh: "Such a costume is even more beautiful than a goblin, if you wear heavy makeup and palace clothes, I really don't know how beautiful it will be!" Yan Ji was a little overwhelmed, but her face still maintained her cold demeanor, but the blush on her delicate face betrayed her.

Yang Peng smiled, thinking of the current matter, the smile on his face involuntarily retracted, and said: "Yu Qing is right, the local gentry and squires have really united to fight against the New Deal!" Yan Ji couldn't help but show a worried look, frowned, and said: "The gentry of the Shi clan in Sichuan are by no means comparable to the Central Plains, and they have great influence in the local area, they want to make you stumble, I'm afraid that there will be problems in the situation in Sichuan!" ”

Yang Peng smiled: "There's no need to worry too much!" Those people are all scholars, isn't there a saying, it's called 'Xiucai rebels for three years'! It can be seen that these guys also have the ability to make small temperaments, just like ignorant children who spill on their parents, and they really don't have the guts! Yan Ji saw that what he said was not serious at all, and snorted angrily.

Yang Peng put away his attitude and said to Yan Ji: "The focus of your 'Hua Xu' recent work is to investigate the situation of the squires and Confucian scholars in various places. Don't take any action just yet, just gather intelligence. Yan Ji nodded.

Yang Peng remembered one thing, and said to Yan Ji with a smile: "I have read your report, it is very well written, I have no opinion, just implement it according to your ideas." Yan Ji looked at Yang Peng and said, "After such a transformation, 'Hua Xu' will have extremely powerful power, can you rest assured that all such a huge power will be handed over to me?" ”

Yang Peng naturally reached over, pressed the back of Yan Ji's hand, smiled and said softly: "I can't trust others, can't I still trust you?" Yan Jifang's heart fluttered, and she panicked, and quickly withdrew her palm and looked away. ……

A Yanyun herald galloped into Chengdu and went all the way to the palace. When he saw Yang Peng, he hurriedly reported: "King Qiyan, General Huyan Bixian was defeated under the city of Yazhou, and the remnants of the army have retreated into Baizhang, and now the rebels are besieging the city!" Yang Peng's expression did not move, but the civil and military forces present couldn't help but be moved, the former prefect of Chengdu, now Chengdu Changshi Wang Leshan exclaimed: "I didn't expect the rebels to be so powerful!" Then he hugged his fist at Yang Peng and said, "King Yan, you must quickly mobilize a large army to reinforce it!" Otherwise, Baizhang will be broken and the defenders will be annihilated, which will inevitably cause a shock in the whole Sichuan, and the consequences will be unimaginable! Many officials who surrendered to Cheng echoed one after another, but Yu Qing and Zheng Tai did not speak, Yu Qing looked suspicious, and Zheng Tai had an unconfident look, muttering to himself: "The previous Hanzhong army is also gone, how can the real Yanyun army led by General Huyan Bixian also be defeated?!" ”

Yang Peng glanced at everyone's expressions and raised his voice: "You don't have to worry, then Han Tong is just getting a little bargain for the time being!" If I do my best to defeat them, it will not be a lion fighting a rabbit, it will be easy! Everyone claimed that it was, Wang Leshan said: "Even so, you can't be cautious, as the saying goes, 'if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if'!" The subordinates thought that King Yan should be recruited in person! As long as King Yan goes to the expedition, he will definitely succeed, and the clown who jumps off the beam will be captured in one fell swoop! Officials chimed in.

Yu Qing hurriedly said: "King Yan, my subordinates think it's inappropriate to recruit yourself!" Wang Leshan said angrily: "Lord Yu, are you saying that King Yan is not the opponent of the rebels, you are so bold!" Yu Qing hurriedly said to Yang Peng: "King Yan, my subordinates don't mean that!" King Yan dominates the world, and no one in the world today is the opponent of King Yan! The reason why his subordinates think that King Yan should not be personally recruited is because the rebels are only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and the territory is only two states, and the thieves are really not worthy of King Yan's personal expedition. Second, now that Sichuan has been decided, King Yan should sit in Chengdu, if he leaves rashly, I am afraid it will lead to unpredictable consequences! ”

The scene became noisy, Wang Leshan glared at Yu Qing and said angrily: "Lord Yu, you are obviously alarmist with such words!" The officials and people of Sichuan have already surrendered to King Yan, how can there be any 'unpredictable consequences'? You insist on obstructing King Yan from conquering and destroying the thief, could it be that you and Han Tong are in a group of traitors, Han Tong is attacking the city in front, and you are here to bewitch the people to obstruct King Yan! You're really vicious! ”

Yu Qing was furious and shouted: "Wang Leshan, I am your boss, don't talk big or small!" I think the person who misleads the public with evil words and evil intentions is clearly you! Wang Leshan's heart sank, and he said loudly: "I, Wang Leshan, am loyal to King Yan, and this heart can be seen every day!" Yu Qing was happy and said sarcastically: "You Wang Leshan actually dare to say that you are brave and loyal!" How many godfathers have you changed since you became an official, do you remember it clearly? "It turns out that this Wang Leshan is mixed in the officialdom, in order to be promoted, he recognizes his godfather everywhere, Wang Qinruo and Pang Taishi are his godfathers, it is needless to say, even the previous Xuanfu envoy An Bing and the pacification envoy Zhou Rong, who are younger than him, are also his godfathers, so the people of Chengdu have a joking name for the former Chengdu prefect, called 'godfather prefect'.

Wang Leshan was scarred by Yu Qing, he was ashamed and angry, and he couldn't speak. The others couldn't help but laugh. Wang Leshan pointed at Yu Qing and scolded: "Get out!" Yu Qing glared and shouted: "You are bold! What should be the crime of openly despying the officials in front of King Yan? Wang Leshan's heart sank, and then he remembered that he was no longer the prefect of Chengdu, but the long history of Chengdu, and the one in front of him was the prefect of Chengdu and his top boss.

Yang Peng said unhappily: "Lord Wang, you are too out of shape!" Wang Leshan hurriedly knelt down towards Chen Xiao, kowtowed, and said, "The lower official is guilty, please forgive King Yan!" ”

Yang Peng said: "If you are a first-time offender, you will not be punished for the time being, if you commit another offense, you will be dealt with together!" Wang Leshan hurriedly thanked him; Xie Yan Wang Kaig! Xie Yan Wang Kaig! Yang Peng pointed at Yu Qing and said, "You should apologize to your boss!" Wang Leshan hurriedly got up, threw himself to the ground towards Yu Qingyi, and said, "Please forgive me!" Yu Qing's anger disappeared a lot, and said: "I hope Lord Wang won't have convulsions like today!" You can't control yourself, but where is the official system of our Yanyun? Everyone laughed, Wang Leshan was ashamed and annoyed, and cursed Yu Qing viciously in his heart.

Yang Peng said: "Regarding whether it is a pro-conquest or not, what you two said makes sense. Comparatively speaking, I think Wang Changshi's words are more correct! Wang Leshan was overjoyed and said: "King Yan is wise! Many officials followed and bowed: "King Yan is wise! Yu Qing was very anxious, and hugged his fists and said: "King Yan, my subordinates think this is really inappropriate......

Yang Peng waved his hand and said impatiently: "Okay, I've already decided, don't say it anymore!" Wang Leshan and the others saw that Yu Qing was scolded by Yang Peng, and they only felt very comfortable, and Yu Qing was depressed, he really didn't understand, King Yan has always been wise, how could he be so confused in this matter?

Yang Peng raised his voice and said: "I have decided to go to the army in person in two days, and the affairs of Chengdu will be handed over to Yu Qing to be fully responsible!" The crowd agreed in unison. After the meeting, Changshi Wang Leshan did not go home, but took a carriage to a luxurious mansion on Chengdu East Street. This mansion covers an extremely wide area, the scale almost catches up with the palace where Yang Peng lives temporarily, look around, only to see the pavilions, pavilions, small bridges, flowing water, a lake in the backyard, blue waves, red faces and beautiful boats, coquettish laughter from time to time with the wind, people are envious.

Wang Leshan got out of the car at the door and let the little guy at the door enter. The little servant confessed his sin, went in to pass the ceremony, and after a while, he came out to spread the word: "The master has invited the adult!" The old man was chanting poetry against his friends in the water pavilion in the backyard. ”

Wang Leshan nodded and walked into the door. Along the way through the corridor, take the sandwich road, passed through the bamboo, chrysanthemum, plum, pine four-color courtyard, passed through the one, two, three, four, five layers of portals, the eyes suddenly opened up, a huge courtyard centered on the lake was presented in front of you, the birds chirped in the woods on the left, the bamboo forest on the right rustled in the wind, looked at all sides, only saw the scenery of the mountains and rivers, the pavilions and pavilions were reflected in the green bamboo water, it was really beautiful!

Wang Leshan saw the longing of the figures in the water pavilion, and hurriedly walked along the bluestone road by the lake. When I came to the water pavilion, I heard the elegant-looking middle-aged man sitting on the throne of the head stroking the long hair under his chin and exclaiming: "Yes, yes!" The talents of the two virtuous brothers can really be said to be outstanding! The two Confucian students in their thirties standing at the head of his left clasped their fists with a happy face and said, "Thank you Mr. for your praise, I'm really ashamed!" ”

Wang Leshan stepped forward, hugged his fists and bowed: "Master Mo! "It turns out that this middle-aged man is the head of the Mo family among the three largest scholar clans in Sichuan, Mo Lun. At this time, in addition to him Mo Lun in the Water Pavilion, there were more than a dozen Confucian students of different ages, all of whom were graceful and elegant, all of whom were famous Confucian talents in Sichuan.

Mo Lun smiled and said, "It turned out to be Lord Wang, and I was far away." Although he said it politely, he didn't even stand up, as if he was a master. Wang Leshan said with joy on his face: "Good news, good news!" I just received the news that Lord Han Tong, the prefect of Yazhou, led the rebel army to defeat the Yanyun army again! ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but show a look of great joy, and a Confucian student said excitedly: "Great! It seems that the will of heaven has not yet been decided, and Lord Han Tong may be able to restore the old rivers and mountains! Everyone nodded in agreement.

Wang Leshan continued: "Then Yang Peng can't sit still anymore, and has decided to lead all the Yanyun elites to Yazhou to deal with Lord Han Tong in two days!" Here's our chance! A Confucian student hurriedly said to Mo Lun: "Sir, since Yang Peng left with Yanyun's elite, it is a good time for us to raise the banner of righteousness and raise the height to restore the rivers and mountains!" Another Confucian student immediately said: "We are in Chengdu, echoing with Lord Han Tong, and the big thing will definitely succeed!" The crowd agreed.

Mo Lun said excitedly: "I've been waiting for this opportunity for a long time! Since God has given us this opportunity, we must not miss it, and we must reverse the situation and restore the rivers and mountains in one fell swoop! After thinking about it, he said to the Confucian scholars standing on the left: "Please go back and inform your respective family masters that you will come to me tonight to discuss important matters, and only say that you are going to a banquet." Before the big thing happens, you have to be careful, don't be careless! The Confucian scholars clenched their fists and agreed, and retreated. This group of Confucian scholars came from various scholar clans, and there was a lot of power behind them.

Mo Lun said to the Confucian scholars standing on the right: "You are famous local talents, and the people respect them, and you must be prepared to encourage the people when you go back." Don't take any action just yet, wait for my news. The Confucian students were a little nervous and a little excited, and they hugged their fists and promised, and went down. Although this group of Confucian scholars has no power, they are famous and have always been admired by ordinary people, and it is naturally no better for them to incite the people.

Mo Lun sat on his chair and thought, "If you can say that some armies can jointly raise a big event, this matter will be more certain!" Wang Leshan said: "Zheng Jun, Qin Gang and other generals of the unified army were originally generals of the Song army, I believe that they still have the Great Song Dynasty in their hearts, and they may be able to persuade them to raise big things together!" ”

Mo Lun said happily: "If they can participate in the grand event together, it will be the momentum of the thunder and thunder, and it will be safe!" Lord Wang, I'll bother you to make a hard trip and lobby them! Wang Leshan hugged his fists and said: "The branch should be, Master Mo doesn't have to be polite!" Mo Lun couldn't help but sigh: "With you waiting for so many loyal ministers and righteous people to go to the national disaster together, why worry that Sichuan will not be recovered!" Then he advised: "Lord Wang, as the saying goes, 'people's hearts are separated from their belly', you have to be careful when you persuade them, and you have to test clearly before you can explain your intentions, so as not to leak the news!" ”

Wang Leshan hugged his fists and said: "Master Mo, don't worry, I understand this section very well, there will be no accidents!" Master Mo, if there is nothing else, I will go to do something! Morun nodded and said, "You can go." Wang Leshan bowed down and withdrew from the water pavilion, turned around and left.

Yu Qing sighed while drinking, and his wife on the side was very strange and asked, "What's wrong with my lord today?" Since he came back from the palace, he has been worried! ”

Yu Qing couldn't help but sigh again and said, "General Huyan Bixian was defeated by Han Tong!" Mrs. Yu was taken aback and said, "How is this possible?" General Huyan Bixian, that's a famous general of Yanyun, a green dragon glaive knife doesn't know how many Liao heroes have been killed! Since the rise of King Yan in Yanyun, he has followed King Yan to fight in the east and west, and has gone through countless battles, how could he lose to Han Tong? ”

Yu Qingdao: "I'm also very puzzled! Could it be that Han Tong is really an unborn genius who can defeat General Huyan Bixian in one fell swoop? ”

Mrs. Yu asked nervously, "General Huyan Bixian has been defeated, is the situation not good?" Yu Qing shook his head, picked up the wine glass, took a sip, put down the wine glass, and said, "That's not it." Although Han Tong defeated Liu Xiguan one after another, and his army was in full swing, after all, there were only 10,000 men and horses, and it was impossible to use this number of men and horses to expel Yan Yunjun and recover Sichuan! Glancing at Madame, he frowned and said, "I'm not worried about this matter, but I'm worried that King Yan is planning to conquer Han Tong in person!" ”

Mrs. Yu said puzzledly: "Why is the master worried about this? Isn't it good for King Yan to go on a personal expedition? Yu Qing shook his head, his face full of worry, "The situation in Sichuan is no better than other places!" The power of the Shi clan is extremely huge, and they are all full of hostility to King Yan, and now that the news of the defeat of General Huyan Bixian has come, I am afraid that these people will be restless! At this time, King Yan should be in Chengdu, how can he leave! I'm afraid there will be a big mess when he leaves! This chaos, even if King Yan can clean up the situation as soon as possible, I am afraid that it will already cause immeasurable damage to the entire Sichuan! When Mrs. Yu heard Yu Qing say this, she couldn't help but feel worried.

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