Seeing that the other party's attitude was so arrogant, the officer couldn't help but be annoyed, snorted, and ordered his subordinates to lift up the jewels and go back.

Seeing that the two sides were in a stalemate, Han Cai couldn't help but feel uneasy, and hurriedly caught up with Yang Peng, and said with some complaints: "Why should the little brother refuse to accept the other party's gift? Now that the relationship between the two sides is stiff, this is not a good thing! Yang Peng smiled: "It's okay, it's a big deal." That's exactly what I want, and it's better to have less contact with the local aristocracy. Han Cai was stunned for a moment, then understood, and nodded thoughtfully.

Yang Peng returned to the room and saw that Yan Ji was drinking tea slowly, so he smiled; "Wife, I'm back." Yan Ji was surprised, put down the teacup, and asked, "You, why did you come back?" ”

Yang Peng waved his hand and said, "I sent everyone away." Then he said, "It's almost time, let's go to a random restaurant on the street and have a meal." Then I went to contact Hua Xu's people. Yan Ji stood up, walked in front of her lover, stretched out her hands to hook her lover's neck, and said gently: "What does the husband say, do it!" Yang Peng smiled slightly, kissed Yan Ji's red lips, and then took her slender hand and walked outside.

"Wait a minute!" Yan Ji suddenly shouted. Yang Peng stopped and looked at Yan Ji in confusion. I saw Yan Ji put a bamboo hat around a gauze curtain on her head, and her stunning face disappeared. Yang Peng smiled and asked, "Where did you get the bamboo hat?" "I just asked Mrs. Han for it. Husband, let's go. Yang Peng smiled, took Yan Ji's slender hand and left the room. I went to say hello to Han Cai first, and then left the inn and went to the street.

When I came to the street, I saw that the wide street was bustling with people, and on both sides it was full of vendors constantly selling, and its prosperity and hustle and bustle were not much better than those of Bianliang, but it was full of exotic customs. Walking on the streets here, it feels amazing, almost all the faces of aliens are in sight, and you can only occasionally see a face of an oriental. The ears are filled with an incomprehensible exotic tone, which makes people feel a little lonely even though they are in the crowd.

The two found a tavern and sat down. When a waiter came up to greet him, he said in Chinese: "Guest, what do you want to eat?" ”

Yang Peng asked with a smile; "Didn't expect you to speak our language?" The waiter smiled and said, "You Orientals are our big customers, of course we have to learn your language in order to provide you with better service!" ”

Yang Peng smiled and said, "Just eat a few things." The waiter answered and withdrew.

Yang Peng looked around and found that there was a table of guests looking towards this side from time to time. I saw that those people were dressed in fur furs, their faces were sloppy and hideous, and they were not good at first glance, and several people were looking at the two of them with unkind eyes.

The waiter came back with the food and put it in front of Chen Xiao in the same way.

Yang Peng glanced at the table of guests not far away and asked, "Who are those?" ”

The waiter followed Yang Peng's gaze, and then lowered his voice and said to Yang Peng: "They are fur merchants from the Beihai side. I think they're Vikings, they're murderous people, and guests don't offend them. Yang Peng smiled and nodded. And the waiter went on his own way.

Yang Peng and Yan Ji ate and drank, talking and laughing. After eating, the two settled the bill and left the hotel, heading towards Hua Xu's secret stronghold here.

After a while, Yan Ji suddenly whispered, "Husband, those fur merchants have been following us. Yang Peng said quietly: "It's okay, let them follow." ”

The two of them continued on their way, and gradually the noise faded away, and the street became more and more silent. After walking for a while, the two came to a very remote place, surrounded by few pedestrians, in stark contrast to the previous prosperity and hustle and bustle.

Yang Peng looked around and asked Yan Ji, "Is this here?" "It should be here, I'm following the map. The environment here is also the same as the colony environment depicted on the map. ”

At this moment, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded, and I saw six fur-fur merchants rushing up, surrounding Yang Peng and Yan Ji in the middle, each holding a steel knife in their hands, with a hideous look on their faces.

Yang Peng asked, "What do you want to do?" Yang Peng speaks English.

One of the fur merchants laughed and said in English, "I heard that you Orientals have a lot of money on you, hand it over immediately!" ”

Yang Peng asked, "What if I don't pay it?" ”

The fur-fur merchant said with a hideous expression: "Then you just want money and don't die, we have to kill you!" The other fur-fur merchant waited impatiently, stepped forward, raised the long knife in his hand, and muttered something. The fur merchant who spoke to Yang Peng in English said: "My brother is already impatient, teach me all the money!" ”

Yang Peng shook his head and said, "No." Even if there is, it will not be handed over. ”

The fur-fur merchant frowned, and immediately translated Yang Peng's words into their own language and spoke them to their companions. Everyone screamed, brandishing steel knives as if they were going to kill. Yang Peng still looked at them with a smile on his face as if he was nothing, not like a master who was being violated at all, but like a guy watching a play.

When the fur merchants saw that he was not at all afraid, their hearts began to drum.

At this moment, a rush of footsteps sounded on all sides. The fur-fur merchants were startled, and hurriedly looked around, and saw dozens of Orientals with weapons in their hands surrounding them. Everyone was shocked and immediately prepared for battle back to back.

The leading Oriental ran to Yang Peng and Yan Ji, and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, master, I didn't expect you, I didn't expect you to ......" He obviously didn't expect His Majesty the Emperor to appear in the Byzantine capital thousands of miles away from the Ming Dynasty. This person's name is Fang Hong, who was originally a thief in the rivers and lakes, but now he is an assistant leader of Hua Xu, responsible for collecting intelligence in Constantinople.

Yang Peng smiled and said, "Let's talk later, let's take care of this group of flies first." Fang Hong promised, and then gestured to his subordinates. The men in black immediately stormed up. The six fur-fur merchants also howled and rushed forward when they saw the ferocity of each other. The six fur-fur merchants thought that they could break through the encirclement with their own physique and fierceness, but they were shocked to find that their opponents were very fierce, swift and swift like wolves and leopards, and their swords were all coming up to the vital point. In just a moment, the six ball merchants broke through, and the four of them had already fallen in a pool of blood, and then there was another scream, leaving only the fur merchant who had just talked to Yang Peng.

A Hua Xu secret agent suddenly shortened, and slashed at the calf of the fur-fur merchant with both hands with a knife, only to hear a click, and half of the calf actually flew out! The ball merchant screamed in surprise, and before he could react, a Huaxu spy kicked him in the ass from behind, and his huge body involuntarily fell forward! A Hua Xu spy stepped on his back and raised his horizontal knife high. The fur-fur merchant was terrified to the extreme, and cried out for mercy!

Yang Peng sighed and said, "You could have lived, but you wanted to die!" Do you think I'll let you go now? Then he glanced at the Hua Xu spy who stepped on him. The fur-fur merchant was so frightened that he cried out for mercy, but then his shouting ceased, and the Huaxu spy who was stepping on him had already cut off his head.

Fang Hong ordered his subordinates to clean up the scene, and then led Yang Peng and Yan Ji into Hua Xu's secret stronghold.

Fang Hong saluted the two again: "Subordinate Hua Xu Zuo leader Fang Hong to meet Your Majesty and meet the Great Pavilion Leader!" ”

Yang Peng said: "Don't be polite, get up and speak." Fang Hong responded and stood up.

Yang Peng asked, "Is there any news from the east?" Fang Hong hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, Dongfang will not pass on important information to his subordinates, so his subordinates don't know the specific situation of Dongfang, but they just heard some rumors from the people." ”

"What rumors have you heard?"

"Back to Your Majesty, my subordinates heard that our army is fighting in Xiliao in an unfavorable situation, but although there are such rumors among the people, not many people believe it."

Yang Peng thought for a moment and ordered: "Immediately inform the Bianliang cabinet of the news of my arrival here by flying pigeon, and ask them about the situation in China and Western Liao." Fang Hong hugged his fists and said, "My subordinates will do it immediately." Then he bowed down and retreated.

Yang Peng thought for a moment, looked around, and saw that the decoration in the room here was no different from the Central Plains, and couldn't help but smile: "It's better to be here, it feels like returning to your own place." Yan Ji smiled slightly.

Fang Hong hurriedly came back and reported to Yang Pengyu: "Your Majesty, your subordinates have issued a flying pigeon biography in accordance with Your Majesty's instructions. ”

Yang Peng nodded, glanced at Fang Hong, and said with a smile: "Since you are the leader of Huaxu here, tell me about the situation in the Byzantine Empire." ”

Fang Hong replied and said, "The Byzantine Empire has recently fought fierce battles against the Orthodox coalition forces, and has won three big victories, and its territory has expanded a lot. At the same time, the main Byzantine army had grown to a million men. This information was originally to be written into a report and sent to China. ”

Yang Peng nodded and asked, "I heard that this Byzantine empress has a very good relationship with the empress of the Holy Roman Empire?" ”

"Yes, according to what the subordinates have learned, the two of them can really be said to be sisters!"

Yang Peng smiled and asked, "In that case, then why didn't the Byzantine Empress participate in these two crusades led by the Shinra?" Fang Hong said: "The specific situation is not clear, but the subordinates estimate that this may be related to the fierce war between the Byzantine Empire and the Orthodox coalition forces." ”

Yang Peng nodded thoughtfully, and asked again: "Who is the main force of the Orthodox Coalition Army?" ”

"It's not about anyone, they're fighting on their own. The subordinates felt that the main reason why they could not defeat the Byzantine army was because they were scattered and fighting separately. ”

Yang Peng pressed these questions for the time being and asked, "We want to return to Daming as soon as possible, do you have a way?" ”

Fang Hong frowned, "I'm afraid this is not easy. There was nothing wrong with the Byzantine Empire, and his subordinates could get merchant ships. It's just that now the HRE is at war with our Ming Dynasty, so the sea route from the Mediterranean to the South Seas is blocked by the naval forces of the Holy Roman Empire. And on land,......"

Yang Peng said: "It's even more difficult on land, otherwise I wouldn't have gone all the way west to this Constantinople." Fang Hong lowered his head slightly, and he was suspicious of the sudden arrival of His Majesty and the Great Pavilion Leader, but he didn't dare to ask.

Yang Peng glanced at Fang Hong and said with a smile: "You must be very curious about the arrival of the two of us, right?" ”

Fang Hong hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "My subordinates are really confused. ”

Yang Peng said: "You don't need to know about this matter for the time being. But you don't have to worry about anything, the situation on all sides is under the control of our Daming. Fang Hong bowed and promised. Yang Peng stood up, walked in front of Fang Hong, and said, "We live in the ** inn. My pseudonym is Poplar. As soon as you have news of Bianliang, come to me immediately. Fang Hong bowed and promised. Yang Peng and Yan Ji left. Fang Hong wanted to send it, but Yang Peng stopped him and said, "This is people's territory, and all etiquette is waived, so as not to attract the attention of others." Fang Hong bowed down and agreed, and Yang Peng and Yan Ji went by themselves.

As soon as the two of them returned to the inn, they felt that the atmosphere was completely different from when they left, and hundreds of warriors in gold armor and red robes surrounded the inn. Yan Ji frowned, looked at Yang Peng, and said, "Didn't the eldest brother offend the eldest lady by accepting those jewels, and the eldest lady sent someone to settle accounts with the eldest brother!" ”

Yang Peng smiled, "It shouldn't be." He glanced at the situation of the entire inn and said with a smile: "If you are here to find trouble, how can the inn be so quiet, I think there is a chance that you will come to give gifts again." Glancing at Yan Ji, "Let's go in." Then he took Yan Ji's slender hand and lined up the passers-by who were watching and came to the gate of the inn.

The two samurai standing at the door immediately stopped the two, and one of the samurai muttered a phone call, whether the two understood or not.

At this moment, Han Cai ran out of it and said with a happy face: "Little brother, you are finally back!" That young lady is here herself, and she has been waiting for you for a long time! Then he muttered in Byzantium and the two warriors who had stopped Yang Peng at the same time. The two warriors immediately stepped out of the way, and looked at Chen Xiao with a curious look.

Han Cai hurriedly led Chen Xiao and Yan Ji in. I saw that the Byzantine beauty she saved last night was sitting not far away, surrounded by majestic warriors. Yan Ji frowned and whispered, "Can a general's daughter have such might?" ”

Several people came to the Byzantine beauty, and when the Byzantine beauty saw Chen Xiao coming, her face was happy, and she quickly got up to greet her, and said something to Yang Peng, with an apologetic attitude in her expression. Han Cai immediately translated: "Miss said that the person she sent earlier dared to be rude to you, and she has already punished him!" She came here to apologize to you! ”

Yang Peng smiled: "A small matter, Miss doesn't have to take it to heart. ”

Han Cai hurriedly translated. The young lady said with an angry look on her face. Han Cai immediately said to Yang Peng: "Miss said, you are her savior, and if that person dares to be rude to you, he is rude to her, and he must be severely punished!" ”

Yang Peng smiled: "Then please Miss look at my face and spare him." Han Cai translated, and the young lady said with a look of admiration on her face. Han Cai said to Yang Peng: "Miss said that you are not only brave and brave, but also have a benevolent heart, which is really rare, and she admires it very much!" Yang Peng smiled, "Miss has won the award." The young lady hurriedly looked at Han Cai, and Han Cai immediately translated. The young lady smiled. Under the twist of the beautiful eyes, he said a word, and his expression was very sincere.

Han Cai said: "In order to thank you for saving your life, Miss wants to set up a banquet at home tonight and invite you to the banquet." ”

Yang Peng is now full of thoughts about how to return to China and where he has the heart to participate in any banquet, but seeing the other party's sincerity, he felt that such an invitation was not easy to refuse, so he nodded and agreed. Seeing this scene, the young lady didn't need Han Cai's translation to know that Yang Peng agreed, and she was overjoyed and said a word. Han Cai translated: "She said she was glad that you accepted her invitation, and she was waiting for you at home." The young lady bowed slightly at Yang Peng and went away, and the gold-armored warriors immediately followed.

Han Cai said excitedly to Yang Peng: "This young lady is probably a great figure in Byzantium, if you can get this relationship, it will not be good for the little brother to do business in Byzantium in the future." Brother, I can also follow with some light. ”

Yang Peng smiled. Seeing that Yan Ji cast an inquiring look, he said with a smile: "Since the other party is so generously invited, we can't refuse people thousands of miles away!" Yan Ji sighed, glanced at her lover, and said, "Husband, you are just too worried about being soft, but you don't know that being so soft-hearted will hurt people many times!" ”

Yang Peng was stunned for a moment, then understood, and said with a smile: "How can it!" Yan Ji glanced at her lover with disgust.

At dusk that day, Yang Peng came to the room to find Yan Ji and asked Yan Ji, "Wife, are you ready?" We're leaving. ”

Yan Ji said angrily: "It's you who are invited, not me, what am I going to prepare." ”

Yang Peng walked to Yan Ji and sat down, hugged Yan Ji's slender waist, and said with a smile: "Why is there such a big smell of vinegar?" Your husband and I have nothing with her! Yan Ji glanced at her lover and said with jealousy: "It's nothing yet, but there will definitely be something after tonight!" If I go, it won't be a big obstacle! ”

Yang Peng looked at Yan Ji with a smile and said gently: "You know, I'm so happy to see you so angry!" ”

Yan Ji was very annoyed, raised her right hand and gently punched her lover's chest, and said angrily: "You dead conscience, how happy you are to see me so angry!" ”

Yang Peng grabbed her fist, put it to his lips, kissed it gently, and said softly: "Because you are so angry, it means that my position in your heart is extremely important!" ”

Yan Ji's eyes showed a gentle color, and she couldn't help leaning into her lover's chest, and said leisurely: "I look like this, don't you think I don't have the capacity to tolerate people?" According to Confucianism, I have committed the rule of seven things! ”

Yang Peng pursed his lips, "Don't talk about Confucianism on this dog day, I feel sick to my stomach when I listen to it." What is the amount of people, what is the seven-out, it's all bullshit! Alas, I'm just guilty that I can't give each of you a complete love! Actually, it's really bad for me to be so distracted, but, it's ......."

Yan Ji hurriedly covered her lover's lips and said very considerately: "Why should the husband blame himself, in fact, it is all our fault, and we can't help but see the husband!" Husband, you are soft-hearted, you can't look at any sister and break your heart, like this, there are more and more sisters! Alas! ”

Yang Peng smiled and said: "So Guanyin always says that I am a harmful spirit, and there is really some truth in this!" Yan Ji smiled and glanced at her lover.

Yang Peng stood up, pulled Yan Ji up, and said, "Okay, it's not too early, we should also go to the banquet." Settle the matter early, lest the young lady always come to us. Yan Ji sighed and said, "I'm afraid it's not so easy to finish!" ”

Yang Peng smiled: "You think too much! Then he took Yan Ji's slender hand and left the room.

As soon as he came out, Han Cai hurried over. Seeing Yang Peng and Yan Ji, he immediately said with a smile on his face: "Brother Yang Mu, that young lady has already sent someone to pick you up, just waiting in the lobby." Yan Ji said angrily: "Is she afraid that we will run away?" I even sent someone over! Han Cai laughed; Isn't that a sign of respect for you! Then he urged: "You guys go quickly, it's not good to keep the master's family waiting for a long time!" ”

Yang Peng and Yan Ji came to investigate, only to see a middle-aged officer leading several soldiers waiting. When the officer saw Yang Peng coming out, he immediately stepped forward and saluted; "I've seen Childe." The attitude was respectful, compared with the young officer before, it was really a world of difference, and he actually spoke Chinese. Yang Peng asked, "Do you speak Chinese?" The officer smiled and said, "My ancestors were Han Chinese, so I can speak Chinese." Yang Peng suddenly smiled and said: "No wonder there is some oriental charm between your eyebrows, it turns out that you have the blood of our Han people!" The officer said, "My ancestor came here during the Han Dynasty, and he used to be a subordinate of Ban Gu, a famous minister of the Han Dynasty. ”

Yang Peng nodded, and then asked, "What's your name?" ”

The officer said, "I taught Kaide, and there is also a Han name, Li Gu." ”

Yang Peng asked, "Is this name related to Bangu?" ”

"Exactly. My father wanted me to be like my ancestors. ”

Yang Peng smiled and nodded, "You will." When Cayde heard this, he couldn't help but feel excited.

Yang Peng looked at the sky and said with a smile: "Let's go, it's rude to the host's family to delay too long!" Only then did CapitaLand remember what was going on, and hurriedly asked Yang Peng and Yan Ji to get in the car. Yang Peng and Yan Ji left the inn, boarded a delicate carriage brought by Kaide, and immediately went down surrounded by dozens of warriors.

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