Chapter 575, the road is uneven

Yang Peng, Yan Ji, Luo Yanran and An Qian, the four of them dressed in civilian clothes and played in the bustling streets under the escort of the guards who were also dressed in civilian clothes. There are stages set up everywhere on the streets, babbling and babbling one after another, and there are all kinds of jugglers performing on the knife mountain, or performing fire-breathing, or performing tricks, or performing martial arts, which attract bursts of applause from the audience.

The four of them played on the street for a long time, and before they knew it, they found that the sun had reached overhead. Yang Peng felt a little tired, but the third daughter was still energetic, and she didn't look tired at all. Yang Peng couldn't help but sigh: Women shopping really have a magical power!

The four of them passed by a restaurant, and Yang Peng immediately pointed to the restaurant and said, "Let's have dinner and then play." The three girls nodded in unison. A large group of people walked into the restaurant, and the shopkeeper greeted him with a smile on his face, and asked, "Do you want to eat?" Anqian said angrily: "Come to your restaurant, what can you do without eating?" Xiao Er hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, Xiao is stupid to ask!" ”

Yang Peng and his entourage occupied four tables and sat down, ordered some wine and food casually, and ate and drank. The three women chatted about the anecdotes they had just seen on the street, and they all looked full of interest. The three women chatted to themselves, but Yang Peng was left to dry. Yang Peng smiled and looked at the three wives in front of him, listening to them speak, and his heart couldn't help but surge with infinite tenderness.

"Hehe, I didn't expect the Sima family to hold a martial arts competition with such fanfare, but it was actually thunder and rain, and finally it was over!" At the dining table not far away, a thin drinker mocked. There was only one person at the same table with him, and it was a middle-aged fat man with a fat body, a shiny face, gorgeous clothes, and an easy-going temperament.

The fat man smiled and said: "The Sima family held a martial arts competition to recruit relatives, that is the drunkard's intention is not to drink!" They want to catch a golden beetle son-in-law, and the golden beetle son-in-law in their minds is naturally those Yan Yun warriors, and the best is Yan Wang himself! But although there were many people who went to the conference, none of Yan Yun's fierce generals appeared, let alone King Yan! In fact, it wasn't just them, even the winners of the palace martial arts tournament didn't appear! Hehe, this situation must have greatly surprised the Sima family's expectations! Since none of the candidates in my mind have appeared, this competition will naturally come to an end! His Sima family can't really call a person who has no birth and no future to be their son-in-law! The thin man nodded approvingly.

"Big brother, why don't you go and see the Sima family's martial arts competition?" Ann Qian asked with a smile, and the other two daughters also looked at Yang Peng with a smile. It turned out that when the two drinkers talked about the Sima family's martial arts competition, the three of them immediately paid attention and stopped chatting.

Yang Peng smiled: "Then what's so beautiful, I might as well watch you at home when I have time." The third girl smiled, Luo Yanran's eyes showed a shy and gentle expression, remembered something, and said, "I know the eldest lady of the Sima family!" That's a very proud and beautiful woman! ”

Yang Peng smiled and said, "A woman, if she is too arrogant, I'm afraid she won't be able to get married!" Luo Yanran smiled. Yan Ji glanced at Luo Yanran and said teasingly: "Our sister Yanran is actually the most arrogant!" Men in the world are no different from dung in her eyes! However, after seeing the eldest brother, she fell from the heavenly palace to the earth, from a high-ranking fairy to a gentle woman who is obedient to her husband! Luo Yanran said with a blushing face: "Sister, don't just talk about me, you are not the same!" Such a heroine is like a snow lotus on an iceberg, cold and arrogant, ignoring all authority and despising all men! But in front of the eldest brother, she has become such a gentle and charming wife! ”

Yan Ji looked at Yang Peng and sighed faintly. Yan Ji was already beautiful, and suddenly revealed such a resentful look, which simply had the charm of turning all beings upside down, Yang Peng lost his mind when he was in a hurry, and he couldn't help but think of her amorous charm in the past few nights, and he couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart!

Anqian said: "It is said that women are vixens, but I think men like the eldest brother are vixens!" In front of him, it is useless to be reserved, cold and arrogant, we women meet, it is like meeting a nemesis, and we can no longer extricate ourselves in this life! Luo Yanran and Yan Ji nodded thoughtfully, and looked at Yang Peng together, looking like they were smiling. Yang Peng looked at the third girl, his heart couldn't help but be full of tenderness, and then he said self-deprecatingly: "I have lived for such a long time, and I only know that I am a fox spirit today!" ”

The three girls smiled and glanced at Yang Peng. Yang Peng looked back at them gently. Luo Yanran was embarrassed to get up and lowered her head. Yan Ji and Ann Qian smiled, revealing a charming expression.

Several people chatted while eating and drinking, and laughed cheerfully from time to time. After lunch, the four of them continued shopping. Walking through the bustling streets, sometimes admiring the performances of jugglers and sometimes buying funny knick-knacks, the three women are like cheerful maidens. Before I knew it, the sun was already setting in the west, and the light was a little dimmer than before, but the bustle of the streets had not diminished a little.

Luo Yanran suddenly stopped and said, "Let's go to a quiet place to chat." Yan Ji and Anqian nodded, and Yan Ji said, "I've been shopping on such a noisy street for a day, so it's good to go to a quiet place to sit!" There is a Baogong Lake nearby, and there should be no tourists there at this time, so let's go there! The two women nodded. Immediately, the three girls turned their heads together and cast inquiring glances at Chen Xiao. Chen Xiao smiled and said, "You can go wherever you say." The three girls smiled.

The group left the hustle and bustle of the street, and a mirror-like quiet lake suddenly appeared in front of them. The willows are still on the shore of the lake, the small bridge pavilion is steep, and only a few couples stroll along the shore of the lake.

When everyone came to the lake, the three girls took a deep breath at the lake, and Luo Yanran couldn't help but say, "It's still a place like this!" Yan Ji said with a smile: "Sister Yanran, if you stay in a quiet place for a long time, I'm afraid you want to be a lively place again!" Luo Yanran nodded with a smile and said, "That's for sure!" Man, that's it, always longing for things that are not in sight! ”

Yang Peng pointed to his nose and asked, "According to what Yanran said, Yanran doesn't want to be a big brother now?" Luo Yanran immediately turned red and said angrily: "These are two different things!" Yang Peng smiled: "Then you say, do you want to be a big brother now?" Luo Yanran's beautiful eyes stared at Yang Peng, looking in a dilemma. Yang Peng sighed, "Hey, it turns out that Yanran doesn't want to be a big brother!" Luo Yanran was anxious, and hurriedly said, "Who said that?" People think about big brother all the time! However, as soon as the words came out, he felt that something was wrong, and then he saw that the eldest brother and sisters were looking at him with a narrow face, and they were so ashamed that they lowered their heads.

Yang Peng smiled: "Oh, I'm so happy to hear this, big brother!" It's even happier than eating hot pot on a snowy day! Luo Yanran raised her head and glanced at Chen Xiao, but her heart was sweet.

The four of them walked along the shore of the lake, chatting for a while, and Yang Peng said: "Yanran, Xiaoqian, what you have done in Sichuan, everyone appreciates it!" Yang Peng is talking about the transfer and resettlement of refugees in Sichuan that the two daughters are responsible for, this matter has been done before the two daughters leave Sichuan, all the refugees have returned to their hometowns, the whole thing is handled by the two women in an orderly manner, very proper, not only there are no problems on the road, but also the resettlement work of various destinations is also arranged very carefully, so that the refugees can have a house to live in after returning to their hometowns, and can have something to do. I am grateful to Luo Yanran and Anxi. At that time, the two daughters had not yet been officially canonized by Yang Peng, but the refugees had already chanted 'Niang Niang Chitose'!

When Luo Yanran and An Qian heard Yang Peng's praise, they were naturally overjoyed, and Luo Yanran said: "That's actually nothing, it's all what we should do!" Ancy nodded. Yang Peng said with a smile: "At this annual meeting, everyone unanimously agreed to let the two of you be responsible for the resettlement of displaced people across the country, what do you think?" "At present, although Yanyun is well governed, but from Jiangnan, from Jinguo and other places, there are constantly refugees fleeing to Yanyun, there are more than 100,000 or 200,000 people every year, Yanyun is open to these displaced people, and for their resettlement is a huge work, in addition, although those refugees who fled to Sichuan have migrated back to their original hometowns, but the follow-up work has a long way to go, so the resettlement of displaced people across the country needs to be able to be responsible for it. Luo Yanran and An Qian's ability in Sichuan won unanimous praise from everyone in Yanyun's cabinet, who agreed that it was most appropriate for them to be in charge of the resettlement of refugees.

Luo Yanran and An Qian were shocked when they heard Chen Xiao's words, and then An Qian was overjoyed in her heart. Luo Yanran frowned and said, "Everyone looks up to our sisters, our sisters shouldn't have shirked!" However, when our sisters first arrived, they held such an important position, and I am afraid that some people will not be convinced! Anqian looked at Luo Yanran with some anxiety.

Yang Peng smiled: "Don't worry about this at all!" In Yanyun, everything is based on strength and merit, and everything else is trivial! What you have done in Sichuan has not only demonstrated extraordinary ability, but also made a great achievement! Therefore, regardless of ability or merit, you are enough to hold this position! You don't need to worry! ”

The two women smiled. "Do you have any questions?" Yang Peng asked. Luo Yanran and An Qian glanced at each other and shook their heads together. An Qian asked excitedly, "Big brother, should we go to work immediately?" Luo Yanran frowned slightly, as if she was a little reluctant, no wonder, now that she has just been married, it is the time when Shui ** melts infatuation, how can she be reluctant to leave!

Yang Peng smiled: "That's not in a hurry. You've just passed the door, and you're going to have to have a full honeymoon anyway! Luo Yanran blushed and smiled. Yang Peng said: "In March, I went to Nanyang. It's not too late for you to wait for me to leave. Anqian said with some concern: "Will this delay things?" ”

Yang Peng smiled: "No." The main purpose of your accusations is to instruct all localities to act according to the intentions of the royal government and implement the policies of the royal government, and it is also to inspect and supervise. Now the following specific affairs are being done by local magistrates, and nothing will be delayed. So, don't think about anything now, just stay with your husband wholeheartedly and do your best to have a son! An Qian and Yan Ji smirked, their eyes were charming, while Luo Yanran was full of shyness, and her face was as red as a fire.

"Help! ......" suddenly heard a woman's panicked cry for help from the woods in front of her. When the people heard this, they immediately stopped and followed the voice. I saw a woman stumbling out of the woods with a child in her arms, and then several black-clad masked men chased after her, carrying steel knives in their hands, to kill the mother and son.

Everyone was shocked, Yang Peng and Yan Ji immediately rushed forward, and the guards pulled out their swords and sheathed them to protect Luo Yanran and An Qian, who had no ability to protect themselves. The woman with the child stumbled on her feet and fell to the ground, crying profusely. A man in black rushed forward and raised his knife to slash at the child. The woman screamed and pounced, protecting the child with her body. Seeing that the long knife is about to look at the woman!

Syllable! The long knife slashed at the blade of a horizontal knife, and it turned out that Yang Peng pulled out the horizontal knife in time to block the opponent's attack. The man in black was stunned for a moment, and looked at Yang Peng, his eyes were horrified, he seemed to know Yang Peng!

Yang Peng kicked over sideways, hitting the chest of the man in black, the man in black snorted, flew out upside down, and fell among the men in black who came later. The black-clothed people supported him, and when they saw many people with weapons in front of them, they were all startled, and they didn't dare to step forward for a while, and then they noticed Yang Peng, and their eyes were as frightened as the black-clothed man just now.

Yang Peng shouted angrily: "Who are you? The black-clothed men looked at each other, looking at a loss. Yang Peng waved his hand, and the guards immediately separated ordinary people from the middle of the guards, obviously to capture the black-clothed people. The men in black turned and fled. The guards gave chase. Immediately, a man in black took out a black spherical object, lit it, and turned around and threw it.

"Boom!" One of the guards exclaimed, and all the guards immediately scattered and fell on the spot. Bang! With a muffled sound, smoke and dust billowed from the scene, and everyone only smelled a pungent smell, and couldn't help coughing and tears. The guards hurriedly got up to chase after them, but they had already lost their sights. The guards couldn't, so they had to return to the effect, and the guards led by them hugged their fists and said: "Master, the other party has escaped!" Yan Ji on the side frowned and said, "This kind of sky-bombing thunder is used in surprise attacks, and it seems that it is only used in our Yanyun army!" Yang Peng frowned and pondered.

Thinking of the mother and son, he immediately turned around and walked in front of the mother and son. I saw that the woman had fainted, and a three- or four-year-old child pushed the woman hard, whining and crying: "Sister, sister, ......" At this time, Luo Yanran and Anqian also came over.

Yang Peng glanced at Yan Ji, who immediately stepped forward to squat down to check the woman's condition, and then stood up and said to Yang Peng: "She just fainted, nothing serious!" At this time, the child suddenly knelt down towards Yang Peng and the others, kowtowed, and said, "Big brother, please, go and save my mother!" ”

Yang Peng frowned, squatted down, picked up the child, and saw his tearful appearance, and couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sense of intimacy in his heart. Yang Peng glanced at the woman who had been set up by the two Feifeng female guards, and asked, "Child, isn't this your mother?" The child shook his head and said, "He's a sister!" Then he grabbed Yang Peng's arm and shook it vigorously, begging: "Big brother, go and save my mother!" Go and save my mother! ”

Yang Peng said: "Don't worry. Tell my brother, where is your mother? The child immediately pointed to a forest in the distance and said, "My mother and I are the bad guys we met there!" My mother fell down and asked my sister to run with me! Mother doesn't know what's going on now? Woowoowoo......"

Yang Peng immediately said to Wang Kai: "You immediately lead five guards to check, and report back immediately if you find the situation!" Wang Kai clenched his fists and agreed, and immediately led five secret guards to rush towards the woods that the child had pointed to. Yang Peng said to a secret guard again: "You immediately go to the palace and transfer a guard over!" The secret guard clenched his fists and ran.

The child grabbed the corner of Yang Peng's clothes, stretched his neck and looked at the woods, his little face looked frightened, and he kept sobbing, his little appearance was pitiful, it was really cute. Yang Peng looked at this little guy, and couldn't help but feel a sense of pity in his heart.

A moment later, the king drove them back, and one of them went north carrying a richly dressed young woman, who could not see clearly for a while, but felt as if she were a very beautiful woman.

When the child saw the young woman, his eyes lit up, he loosened the corners of Yang Peng's clothes, spread a pair of calves and ran over, shouting as he ran: "Mother! Mother! ......" The boy ran to the guard, who was carrying his mother, and the guard put her down. Mother and son hugged each other violently, and the mother began to cry and cry very sadly!

Wang Kai and the others returned to Yang Peng's side, Wang Kai hugged his fists and said: "Master, we found this woman in that woods, but her lower leg was fractured, and it is not a big problem." There were obvious signs of a fight in the woods, and five people died, two of whom looked like eunuchs, and the other three were young women, who were supposed to be maidservants. ”

Yang Peng and the third daughter felt a little strange when they listened to Wang Kai's report. Because of the profession of eunuch, King Yan has long since abolished, and it stands to reason that there should be no eunuchs in the entire Yanyun.

Luo Yanran frowned and said, "Big brother, there is a place where there are eunuchs!" Everyone's hearts moved, and they said in unison: "Bianjing! Yang Peng immediately looked at the young woman holding the child and muttered: "I feel a little familiar with that woman, and now it seems that nine times out of ten it is the concubine of Zhao Song who lives in the old palace." Then he said strangely: "But how can the concubine in the old palace have a child who is three or four years old?" "Yang Peng fought a bloody battle with the Khitans that year, and used the captured Brother Hugh to rescue all the concubines and princesses of Zhao Song and the palace maids captured by the Khitans, and after that, only some of them went to the south, and the other part had to stay in Yanyun. Yang Peng could not forcibly expel them, so he placed them in the Liao Emperor's palace in Yanjing, and when Yan Yunjun recovered Cangzhou, Yang Peng moved them to live in the old palace in Bianliang. For these women, in addition to providing food and clothing every month, Yan Yun only sent people to guard the old palace, as for where they were going and what they were going to do, Yan Yun didn't ask anything. Over time, the women in the old palace formed a unique group, and gradually appeared in Yanyun's high society, which can be regarded as a beautiful landscape.

Yang Peng said secretly: "Nine times out of ten, I can't bear loneliness, I have a man, and then I have this child, hey, this is also human nature!" ’

The young woman knelt on the grass and looked this way with the child in her arms. Yang Peng and the others also happened to look over and were taken aback when they saw her appearance, and then everyone realized that the young woman was actually a very beautiful woman, although it was not as good as Luo Yanran and Yan Ji, but it was slightly better than An Qian! Immediately, everyone found that the young woman's eyes widened, revealing a very shocked look, and the target of her eyes turned out to be Yang Peng, the eyes were like a woman who had been abandoned by a man suddenly saw that man, very complicated, excited, angry, hesitant, and sad.

When the third daughter saw her looking at her eldest brother with that kind of look, she couldn't help but be suspicious. looked at the eldest brother, but saw that the eldest brother frowned slightly, with a dazed expression, he obviously didn't understand why the woman looked at him with such eyes! The third daughter was even more strange.

The young woman suddenly twitched and said excitedly, "I, I have finally seen you!" Yang Peng asked, "Have we met?" The young woman immediately showed excitement and anger, but then she was deflated, lowered her head and said faintly: "Don't you remember Concubine Pang beside Taizong back then?" ”

Everyone was shocked, Yang Peng walked in front of her, squatted down, glanced at her, remembered her appearance, Concubine Pang at this moment was almost no different from back then, but there was a little more vicissitudes in her eyes between her eyebrows, full of resentment and depression, which gave her a charming charm that was different from that year. Yang Peng nodded and said, "No wonder I feel that you are a little familiar, it turns out to be Concubine Pang!" Concubine Pang glanced at Yang Peng with extremely resentful eyes, her eyes showed impulsiveness, but she suddenly realized something, she couldn't help herself, lowered her head, and said in a begging tone: "I have always wanted to see you, but you have always refused to come!" ”

Yang Peng asked in surprise: "Is there anything Niangniang looking for me?" Concubine Pang looked at the people around her and said, "I want to take a step to talk to King Yan." Yang Peng felt that Concubine Pang was really weird, but he was also curious about what she wanted to say, so he nodded.

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