Chapter 599, Conspiracy Men and Women
Ye Yu Guanyin leaned into Yang Peng's arms and became distracted.
Yang Peng and his entourage returned to Tianjing New Town, anyway, all things were handled by the cabinet, and there was nothing important for him to decide, so he either accompanied his wife and concubine to the lake to enjoy the flowers all day long, or played before the moonlight, and the family was happy, I don't know the passage of time. And Yang Peng's sister Zhou Bingqian in Tanzhou, the two maids also lived in the palace, Zhou Bingqian is handsome, gentle, very friendly and lovely, not long after coming to the palace, he got the favor of the princesses, especially with the Dali princess Qionghua who often comes to the palace to relax, and has become a close friend who talks about everything.
This morning, the sun was shining, the birds were chirping in the branches, and Zhou Bingqian led the maid Wutong to walk outside. When he was about to leave the backyard, he met Jiang Li, the commander of the Feifeng female guard and also the princess of King Yan. Zhou Bingqian bowed: "My little sister has seen my sister-in-law!" Zhou Bingqian recognized Yang Peng as her eldest brother, and all the princesses of Yanwangfu were naturally her sisters-in-law.
Jiang Li smiled and asked, "Is Sister Bingqian going out?" Zhou Bingqian stood up and said, "My little sister has been here for a long time, but she hasn't been to the street yet." I have long heard that Tianjing New City is a place where people and businessmen from all over the world gather, and it is prosperous, so I really want to take a good look! Jiang Li said with a smile: "Before King Yan recovered Yanjing, Tianjing New City was actually a withered population and merchants were not prosperous, and it was under the governance of the eldest brother that it became what it is now!" It can be said that it is a change in the vicissitudes of life, and it is time to take a good look! Zhou Bingqian showed a look of admiration and said: "The eldest brother is an unborn hero in the world, and he is really a blessing to all the people in the world!" Jiang Li nodded sympathetically, and then she didn't know what she thought, she smiled lightly, and her expression revealed a bit of lingering emotion.
came back to her senses and said to Zhou Bingqian: "Sister Bingqian's identity is extraordinary now, and this security issue still has to be paid attention to!" I asked a few female guards to accompany you, one to protect your safety, and the other to be your guide, they are very familiar with this Tianjing New City! ”
Zhou Bingqian hesitated slightly, smiled slightly, and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law!" Jiang Li smiled slightly, turned her head and said to a few female guards beside her: "You accompany Sister Bingqian and protect her safety." Several female guards clenched their fists in agreement.
Jiang Li said to Zhou Bingqian again: "Sister Bingqian must come back before dark, otherwise all of us will be worried." Zhou Bingqian responded, then said goodbye to Jiang Li and left. Jiang Li glanced at Zhou Bingqian's back, smiled slightly, and then went to her own place.
Zhou Bingqian and a few people came to the street, only to see that the crowd was densely populated, the shops gathered, and as far as the eye could see, the crowd of people could not see the end, and the shops could not see the end, the shouts of the vendors came and went, and the fierce bidding was also endless. Zhou Bingqian couldn't help but show a look of amazement, and then showed a look of fear, she had never gone shopping on such a crowded street, she always felt that there were too many people, and she felt unsafe. Turning his head to a few female guards, he said, "Sisters, let's go to a place with fewer people!" Several female guards were flattered, and the female guard in the lead hurriedly bowed: "Don't you dare to be called Miss like that!" You are the sister of the owner, and you are also our master! Miss said to go wherever she wanted! ”
Zhou Bingqian looked around, and saw that the street not far away seemed to be less crowded, so she pointed over there and said, "Let's go over there and have a look." Several of the female guards glanced in the direction of her finger and answered.
The group walked down the street. This street is a branch street next to South Main Street, which is much smaller and less crowded than the main street, but it is also a scene full of people. Zhou Bingqian didn't like this, so she led everyone into a teahouse on the side of the street, Qingyun Teahouse. Although it was early in the morning, half of the guests in the Qingyun Teahouse were already seated.
A group of people climbed to the second floor, sat down in front of a table near the window, asked for some refreshments, and enjoyed the scenery of Tianjing New City outside the window while eating and drinking.
Zhou Bingqian only felt open-minded, and couldn't help but say: "It's better to enjoy the scenery here!" Tianjing New Town is really a good scenery, the spring is charming, the market is prosperous, I am afraid that there is no better place in the world than here! ”
The female guard at the head smiled: "Of course! Coupled with the master's governance, it is naturally extraordinary! How can the scenery from elsewhere be as good as here! Zhou Bingqian smiled and nodded, "This Tianjing New City is the place where Zhong Lingyuxiu's imperial spirit returns, it is extraordinary, and after some sorting by the eldest brother, it will naturally become extraordinary, as if it is heaven and earth!" Several palace maid guards laughed happily, and the female guard led by said, "Miss said it so well! ”
There were several young men sitting at a table in the distance, and they all looked like they were doing business. Since Zhou Bingqian and a few people came up, their eyes have glanced over from time to time. The man in the brown silk shirt said with a look of amazement: "That young lady is really beautiful and fragrant, I don't know which young lady it is?" The man in the white silk shirt glanced at Zhou Bingqian, and said with admiration: "Nine Heavens Xuannu, Qionglou Fairy, I'm afraid it's just that!" Everyone nodded in admiration. The man in the black silk shirt said angrily: "Don't be delusional! Didn't you see that the women around her were carrying long knives? When a few people heard this, they couldn't help but glance at the women beside the young lady, and sure enough, they saw that except for one ratio, they all carried long knives at their waists.
The man in brown said, "So what? When everyone goes out with a lady or a famous lady, it is normal to have a guard to follow! The man in black sneered, "You guys really don't know!" Look at their knives! That's the Yan King horizontal sword, which guard in the world can be equipped with that kind of weapon? That's exclusive to King Yan's Mansion! Only then did all the companions notice that they were all shocked, and one of them whispered: "Could it be that young lady, unexpectedly, it could be a certain princess of Yanwang?!" The man in black nodded and said, "I think it's like this!" ”
Everyone couldn't help but secretly glance at Zhou Bingqian again, and couldn't help but marvel in their hearts, and one of them whispered: "I have long heard that Princess Yan is like a fairy!" When I saw it today, I realized that it really deserved its name! Everyone nodded. Originally, everyone wanted to go up and talk, but now they don't dare, so they have to sneak a glance or two from time to time to feast their eyes.
Zhou Bingqian said: "I'll go to the toilet, you wait for me here." With that, he stood up. Several female guards also stood up immediately, and the female guards led by them said, "Let's go with Miss." ”
Zhou Bingqian smiled slightly, "No need." Wutong can accompany me, in this teahouse, will something happen? A few female guards thought about it, so they didn't insist anymore. Zhou Bingqian went down accompanied by Wutong, and several female guards sat back in their seats.
Zhou Bingqian came to the back of the teahouse, and a young man suddenly greeted her. Coming to Zhou Bingqian, Zhou Bingqian stopped, turned her head to Wutong and said, "You go in and watch, don't let people come over." Wutong answered and returned to the teahouse.
The man smiled, "Miss Zhou, I thought you wouldn't come to contact us!" Zhou Bingqian frowned and asked, "What do you mean by this?" The man smiled: "That Yang Peng is a demon in the color, the legend is talented, and he is very good at kung fu in bed, I thought that Miss Zhou had forgotten her father's murder!" ”
Zhou Bingqian snorted and said coldly: "I won't forget to kill my father!" The man snorted coldly, "In that case, why haven't you taken action for so long?" Zhou Bingqian glanced at the man and said angrily: "Is it easy for you to do this?" Yan King Yang Peng is powerful in the world, it is a hero who has not been born for a thousand years, how easy it is to kill him! ”
The man asked with a gloomy face, "I think you're in love with him?" Zhou Bingqian glanced at the man with a strange expression, and sneered: "Are you jealous?" The man's face changed, he reached out and grabbed Zhou Bingqian's wrist, and shouted angrily: "You are really in love with him!" He, he's already touched you? ”
Zhou Bingqian pulled back her wrist violently and said angrily: "This is a plan you came up with, and now you are actually questioning me?" Master Mo, since you have used this beauty trick, why be jealous! "This man who secretly met with Zhou Bingqian turned out to be Mo Haotian, the son of the Mo family of the former Sichuan Dashi clan!
Mo Haotian glared at Zhou Bingqian, looking like he wanted to swallow her. Zhou Bingqian looked back at him fearlessly. Mo Haotian suddenly sighed, turned to look at the rockery trees in the back garden, and muttered, "I know you hate me!" But this is also a last resort! As you said, King Yan is a hero who has not been met for a thousand years, and it is not easy to kill him for revenge! Although I didn't want to use this beauty trick, in order to kill him, I had to reluctantly cut my love! This is like Fan Li back then! Zhou Bingqian said faintly: "But I'm not Xi Shi!" ”
Mo Haotian's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly looked at Zhou Bingqian, frowned and asked, "Why do you say that?" Zhou Bingqian glanced at Mo Haotian, then raised her head and sighed intoxicatedly, and said, "This man Yan Wang is really strong and majestic!" He made me feel supreme joy in a way I never thought I could be so happy as a woman before! ”
Mo Haotian was devastated, grabbed Zhou Bingqian's shoulders with a low roar, and shouted, "What did you say? You, you and him, you ......" Zhou Bingqian stared at Mo Haotian and sneered: "Isn't this exactly what you want?" Now you've got what you wanted! Mo Haotian was furious, but he had nowhere to vent, as Zhou Bingqian said, everything was his plan, what did he have to say.
Zhou Bingqian pushed away Mo Haotian, who was like a wounded beast, and said coldly: "For revenge, all sacrifices are inevitable!" Why should you do that! In fact, when you first set this plan, you should have thought of such a result! Mo Haotian took a deep breath and nodded, "You're right!" Then he asked with a gloomy face, "Since you have already given him your body, why don't you kill him?" ”
Zhou Bingqian said: "Because there is no chance!" Mo Haotian glared at Zhou Bingqian and asked, "You didn't lie to me, did you?" It's not going to be an overnight affair that won't make you down, right? ”
Zhou Bingqian glanced at Mo Haotian and said, "Believe it or not!" After a pause, he frowned and said in a deep voice: "In short, I must kill Yang Peng!" Glancing at Mo Haotian, he said, "I came this time to inform you, everything is going well, you don't have to worry!" When Mo Haotian heard this, he was really angry and depressed, and he felt a little lucky. Zhou Bingqian said: "Now you can't help me, it's best not to do anything!" So as not to help you! If there's a chance for you to do it, I'll send Sycamore to inform you! Mo Haotian was silent. Zhou Bingqian said: "I've finished speaking, I have a chance to see you again!" There was reluctance in his eyes, and he turned around and walked into the teahouse. Mo Haotian wanted to stop Zhou Bingqian, but in the end he didn't say anything, and said fiercely with a gloomy face: "Yang Peng! If I, Mo Haotian, don't break your body into pieces, I will not be a human being! Seeing the ceramic flower pot next to him, he kicked it in anger and indignation, and with a bang, the flower pot was kicked and smashed by him.
Zhou Bingqian returned upstairs and said to a few female guards that she was a little uncomfortable and wanted to go home. Several female guards became nervous, and the female guards led by them hurriedly asked, "I don't know where Miss is uncomfortable, does it matter?" Zhou Bingqian shook her head and said, "Don't worry. The doctor said that it was because I rarely walked around and my body was relatively weak, so after walking for a while, I would feel a little uncomfortable. The female guard at the head hurriedly said: "In this case, let's send the young lady back to the house quickly!" ”
Zhou Bingqian and her entourage returned to the palace, and several female guards said goodbye and left. Zhou Bingqian's master and maid came to the backyard, Zhou Bingqian stood in the corridor and thought for a while, and saw a maid with tea and saluted. Zhou Bingqian said: "No need to be polite. The maid stood up. Zhou Bingqian glanced at the tea in her hand and asked, "Is this for the eldest brother?" The maid said, "Yes." King Yan was handling official business in the study, and Princess Yelu ordered the slave maid to make sobering tea. ”
Zhou Bingqian stretched out her hands and said, "Give it to me, I'll send it." The maid showed embarrassment, and then thought that Miss Bingqian was the sister recognized by King Yan, and there was nothing wrong with it, so she answered and handed the tray to Zhou Bingqian's hands. Zhou Bingqian said to Wutong: "You go back to the room first." Sycamore answered and went down.
Zhou Bingqian took the tea and went to the study accompanied by the maid. At this time, Yang Peng was reading an official document that he had just received, while Princess Yelu was sitting on the left, and Princess Han Bing was sitting on the right.
Zhou Bingqian and the maid came in, Han Bing and Yelu Hanyu heard the voice, turned their heads, and saw that it was Zhou Bingqian who came in with tea, and they both smiled slightly. Zhou Bingqian's delicate face turned slightly red, walked to the bookcase, and put down the tray. The two teacups that were upside down on the tray were turned over, and then the teapot was lifted and two cups of tea were poured, and the rich aroma of tea filled the entire study.
Yang Peng was rushed by the fragrance of tea, and couldn't help but raise his head, seeing that it was Zhou Bingqian serving himself with tea, he was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "Why are you!" Zhou Bingqian blushed slightly and said softly: "Doesn't the eldest brother want to see us?" Yang Peng's heart fluttered, and he smiled: "Of course not!" ”
Zhou Bingqian picked up a cup of tea and drank it first, she is trying to eat, the ancient king, in order to prevent someone from poisoning and assassinating, in addition to many protective measures, the last hurdle is to have a confidant to try the food, if the food and drink is poisonous, then the person who tries the food will be poisoned first, and naturally it will not harm the owner. Yang Peng didn't do this before, but someone used Yang Tong's poisoning to almost cause a catastrophe, so since then, the princesses have set this set of rules for food tasting, everything Yang Peng eats and drinks, must be tasted by the maid before Yang Peng can be eaten.
Zhou Bingqian paused for a moment, nothing was wrong, and then picked up another cup of tea and put it in front of Yang Peng. Yang Peng picked up the teacup, took a sip, put down the teacup, and glanced at Zhou Bingqian with a smile. Zhou Bingqian blushed and bowed down and said, "Little sister doesn't disturb the eldest brother's office." The little sister said goodbye. With that, he was leaving.
Han Bing smiled: "Sister Bingqian doesn't have to leave in a hurry, just sit with us." Zhou Bingqian said worriedly: "I'm just afraid of disturbing the eldest brother and the two sisters-in-law!" ”
Yelu Hanyu smiled: "What's the bother! Then he pointed to the seat next to him and said, "You can sit next to me." Zhou Bingqian bowed her head and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law." Then he cast an inquiring glance at Yang Peng. Yang Peng smiled: "Listen to your sister-in-law." Zhou Bingqian answered, and walked to Yelu Han Bing and sat down.
Yang Peng put his thoughts back on the official document in front of him, and frowned: "I miscalculated this time, I didn't expect the Japanese to be defeated so quickly!" ”
Yelu Hanyu smiled: "Now that I think about it, this result is also very normal!" I think that the Japanese people were fighting inside, and they were all red-eyed! If it weren't for the Khitans attacking Goryeo, they wouldn't have been able to stop anyway! Because of the threat of the Khitans, they had to stop fighting internally and unite with each other, but since they have become enemies, they naturally lack trust in each other, and even watch out for each other from time to time! In this case, the Khitans had the advantage in strength and the support of the Goryeo people, and the Japanese were naturally defeated! ”
Yang Peng nodded. Zhou Bingqian asked curiously, "Could it be that the Japanese have been defeated by the Khitans?" ”
The three of them looked at Zhou Bingqian, and Yang Peng nodded with a smile: "Yes." I originally hoped that the Japanese and the Khitans would fight for both defeats, but it backfired, and the Japanese suffered heavy losses one after another, and they had already lost most of the territory of Goryeo and retreated to several coastal fortresses in the south to resist stubbornly! Looking at the current situation, it is only a matter of time before the Khitans recover the whole island and the Japanese people are driven out of Goryeo! ”
"Then, is the eldest brother planning to use troops against the Khitans? We can't let the Khitans grow stronger again! Zhou Bingqian said. Yang Peng smiled and said, "What you said makes sense, but I can't help the Japanese people!" Zhou Bingqian showed a puzzled look.
Yang Peng pondered: "There are some things that can't be explained clearly for a while. In addition, my current energy is focused on the reunification of Jiangnan, and it is better to be able to avoid extraneous branches or not to extraneous branches. Zhou Bingqian smiled embarrassedly and said, "The little sister is stupid, let the eldest brother and the two sisters-in-law laugh!" ”
Han Bing said with a smile: "Actually, sister, what you said is not wrong, the decisive battle with the Khitans is inevitable, so it is also a good strategy to prevent the Jin people from living in peace as much as possible." It's just that there are priorities, and now the focus is not on the Khitans, but on unifying Jiangnan. Zhou Bingqian nodded, then frowned, and said worriedly: "In the future, if Yanyun and Liao go to war, it will definitely be more tragic than any previous war!" ”
The three of them smiled, Yelu Hanyu glanced at Yang Peng gently, and said to Zhou Bingqian: "With your eldest brother here, the Khitans can't take advantage, you don't have to worry!" Zhou Bingqian glanced at Yang Peng, hummed, lowered her head, and looked thoughtful.
The gaze turned to Dali.
Duan Zhichun received the summoning order from the imperial brother and immediately rushed to the palace study. However, in the study of the palace, I saw a person I didn't expect at all, a person dressed in the uniform of a Tibetan nobleman. Duan Zhichun frowned, and bowed to the emperor: "Your Majesty! The emperor pointed to the Tibetan man and said, "This is the Tibetan counselor, Lord Gando, and the royal family of Tibet." ”
Gan Duo made a chest salute to Duan Zhichun: "I have long heard of General Duan's prestige, and it is really a blessing to see it today!" "Gando speaks Chinese, and he is very fluent and eloquent.
Duan Zhichun was slightly surprised, and replied: "Don't dare, the adult has won the prize!" Then he clasped his fists at the emperor and said, "Brother Huang, I don't know why this Lord Ganduo came?" The emperor said: "Lord Ganduo is here with great sincerity this time, and he hopes to turn enemies into friends with our Dali Kingdom!" Duan Zhichun frowned, looked at Gan Duo, and said, "This is really the sun coming out of the west, I didn't expect the Tubo Kingdom to take the initiative to come and reconcile with our Dali Kingdom!" ”
Gan Duo hurriedly said: "Previously, my country wanted to expand its territory and establish a big country, but I offended your country, and I ask your country to forgive me!" Duan Zhichun originally held a grudge against Tubo's invasion every year in the past, but seeing him apologize in such a low voice, he felt that he couldn't get out. On second thought: which country is not like this, in fact, disputes between countries are not a big feud! If it can be reconciled with Tibet, it will also be a great blessing for the people!
The emperor said: "To be reconciled with Tubo, I am very happy all over Dali!" But I can't agree to that suggestion made by your country! When Duan Zhichun heard this, he felt that there was still something inside, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Huang, what is the request of Tubo?" ”
Gan Duo hurriedly said: "The general misunderstood, it's not a request, it's a suggestion!" Duan Zhichun frowned, looked at the emperor, and saw the emperor frowning, looking embarrassed.
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
