Yan Ji lifted the curtain and looked outside, only to see that the carriage was going straight in the direction of the palace, and couldn't help but say to Yang Peng in surprise: "Husband, why did they go to the palace?" Yang Peng smiled: "We should have thought of it a long time ago!" Yan Ji showed a puzzled look, then suddenly realized, nodded and smiled: "Yes, she is such a powerful woman at a young age, who else can there be besides the Byzantine empress?" Yang Peng sighed and said self-deprecatingly: "I only thought of such a simple thing now, but it's really dull!" Seeing Yan Ji's worried face, she asked puzzledly, "What are you worried about?" What's there to worry about? She, although she is a Byzantine queen, clearly has no ill will towards us! ”

Yan Ji glanced at her lover and said, "It's because she's so malicious, that's why I'm worried!" ”

Yang Peng smiled and said, "What you are worried about will never happen!" ”

The group came to the gate of the palace and went straight in. Then I walked through an empty square and came to a quiet gate. There were several golden-armored female guards guarding the gate, and Caeder and the others stopped. Cade stepped forward to talk to the female guard led by him, and then came over to the carriage and said, "Childe, madam," Yang Peng lifted the curtain and asked, "Have you arrived?" ”

Cade nodded and said, "I can't go in here, please get out of the car and follow the golden-armored female guards here." ”

Yang Peng and Yan Ji got out of the carriage together, only to see a golden-armored female guard with a majestic figure and a physique not inferior to a man, and said in stiff Chinese: "Please come with me, Your Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time." Then he turned and walked first. Yang Peng and Yan Ji followed.

Enter the gate of the harem, this should be the gate of the harem. I saw strange flowers and plants scattered everywhere, emitting colorful brilliance under the reflection of the moonlight. High in the distance, there is a large hall that is open on all sides, on which the lights are bright, the gold is brilliant, and you can also see the longing of people.

Yang Peng felt a little surprised, and asked the female guard who led the way: "May I ask, who are the people at the banquet tonight?" ”

The female guard said as she walked: "In addition to inviting you, Your Majesty has also invited princes, nobles, generals, ministers, and almost all the important ministers in the capital have come. ”

Yang Peng and Yan Ji looked at each other in surprise, and then Yang Peng teased in a low voice: "Now you don't have to worry, she definitely didn't invite a banquet because she fell in love with your husband!" Yan Ji glanced at her lover, and she was really relieved.

The female guard led Yang Peng and Yan Ji to the front of the main hall, and climbed the steps straight into the main hall. Yang Peng and Yan Jiden felt countless eyes shoot at the same time. When I raised my eyes and looked up, I saw that the beautiful woman was sitting on it, dressed in a brilliant robe, wearing a golden crown, dazzling gold, reflecting a stunning face, and it looked even more noble and gorgeous, so that people dare not look at it directly!

The female guard bowed down to her and muttered a word, probably to report to her that Yang Peng and his wife had arrived. The Empress nodded, muttered a word, and the female guard bowed and retreated.

Yang Peng looked at the Byzantine Empress and had no intention of saluting, as the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, it was naturally impossible for him to bow down to anyone. And Yan Ji saw that her lover didn't make any moves, so naturally she wouldn't make any moves. The Byzantine ministers and nobles in the hall were a little annoyed when they saw these two people standing still in front of His Majesty, but His Majesty did not say anything, so they did not say anything, but their eyes were already very displeased.

I saw the Byzantine Empress leave her seat and walk in front of Yang Peng, smile and say a word, and a female official next to her immediately said in Chinese: "Your Majesty said that she didn't mean to hide her identity, but she didn't know how to say it, please forgive me." ”

Yang Peng smiled: "I won't take such a small matter to heart." The female official immediately translated, and the Byzantine empress smiled brightly and said something more. The female official said to Yang Peng: "Your Majesty said that you are her savior, you should be officially introduced, Your Majesty's name is Cynthia, may I ask what is the full name of the son?" Yang Peng said: "My name is Yang Mu," and then pointed to Yan Ji beside him, and said, "This is my wife Yan Nuchen." The female official translated Yang Peng's words, bowed her head and said softly: "Yang Mu." Then he glanced at Yan Ji, couldn't help but show a look of amazement, and muttered a word. The female official said: "Your Majesty, Yang Gongzi's wife is really as beautiful as a goddess!" Yan Ji smiled and said, "Your Majesty is too famous!" The female officer translated this, and saw Cynthia muttering another sentence, then turned around and walked towards the head, and the female officer said to Yang Peng and the two, "Please sit at the table." Then he led the two to the position on the right and invited the two to sit down.

Here is a brief introduction to the banquet format of the Byzantine court, which is naturally completely different from the East, that is, a huge long table is erected in the middle of the main hall. The top is naturally the position of the empress, and the other noble ministers sit on both sides of the long table, and according to the level of status, they are from near to far from the emperor, and the closest to the emperor is naturally the emperor's most trusted minister.

As soon as Yang Peng and Yan Ji sat down, a burly general with a beard like a fierce lion stood up and said something loudly to the empress. Yang Peng and Yan Jiden felt that the atmosphere had become a little strange. The Empress reprimanded the general with some annoyance, and the general sat back with an unconvinced look.

The empress picked up the wine glass and said something to Yang Peng with a smile. The female official who acted as an interpreter immediately said: "Her Majesty the Empress toasts to Yang Gongzi to thank Yang Gongzi for saving his life!" ”

Yang Peng picked up the wine glass, and saw that the wine glass was already full of wine, so he raised his head and took a sip. When even a maid came up to fill Chen Xiao's wine glass again. The empress said with admiration on her face, and the female official smiled: "Your Majesty's praise of Gongzi is really worthy of being a hero!" Yang Peng smiled.

The general who stood up and spoke before seemed to be stimulated, and pointed at Yang Peng and shouted. The empress's face changed, and she scolded the general. This time, the general did not flinch again, but gave Cynthia a word. The empress's face became very ugly, and she was about to have a seizure, but such a look quickly disappeared without a trace, and she turned her head to look at Yang Peng.

Yang Peng smiled: "This general seems to have an opinion about me? As he spoke, he looked at the female officer who was acting as an interpreter.

The female officer didn't know whether to translate what the general had just said to Yang Peng, so she looked at Empress Cynthia. Cynthia said a word. The female officer immediately said to Yang Peng: "This great general is called Buffon, he is the great tiger general of our Byzantine Empire, and he is also the first warrior of our Byzantine Empire!" The general thinks that the prince does not deserve such courtesy from Her Majesty the Empress, so he opposes it! In fact, the general just thinks that Childe is not qualified to sit in this position! ”

When Yang Peng heard that it was for such a thing, he smiled, glanced at Buffon, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then I won't sit in this position." ”

The female officer was stunned, and her eyes couldn't help but show contempt. Hehe, in addition to our country, there is probably no second country on this earth that considers modesty to be a virtue, and in any nation other than the Han nation, modesty is probably equated with cowardice. Therefore, Yang Peng replied like this, which surprised the female official and at the same time couldn't help but feel contempt.

The female official immediately translated Yang Peng's words, Cynthia frowned, but all the noble ministers showed a contemptuous smile, and Buffon laughed even more loudly, pointing at Yang Peng and saying a word loudly. The female officer said to Yang Peng: "The general said that you are a coward, and I want you to get out of here!" ”

Yang Peng was not angry, and said to Yan Ji with a smile: "Facts have once again proved that modesty is actually a traditional virtue of dog days!" Yan Ji couldn't help laughing, and then said angrily: "That golden haired ghost is so rude, husband, you should give him a little color!" Yang Peng said with a smile: "Since my wife has a life, it is natural for me to be a husband!" Then he stood up and said to Buffon: "Didn't you just want to try with me after all this nonsense?" Stop talking nonsense, let's get over it! With that, he left his seat and walked to a spacious place on the side.

The female officer immediately translated Yang Peng's words, and the audience was in a sensation, Buffon immediately left his seat and stood opposite Yang Peng, and everyone else also stood up, standing next to him, looking at the two of them. Many people exchanged their heads with smiles, all of them thought that it was easy for Buffon to take care of Yang Peng, and there was a good show to watch.

Buffon stared at Yang Peng excitedly and muttered a word. The female official stood beside Empress Cynthia, far away, maybe she didn't hear it, so she didn't translate Buffon's words, but there was no need to translate, Yang Peng could probably guess what the other party meant, in short, it would never be a good word.

Cynthia raised her voice and said something, and the female official immediately translated: "Your Majesty said that today is just a competition within the palace, and you must not hurt each other!" ”

Buffon said something to Yang Peng mockingly, and the ministers immediately burst into laughter. The female officer smiled and said to Yang Peng: "The general said that he will only knock Yang Gongzi to the ground, and he will never hurt Yang Gongzi's beautiful face!" Yang Peng is actually not very handsome, but compared to these Westerners with rough skin and flesh, Yang Peng can indeed be regarded as a beautiful man. The female officer continued: "The general also said that as long as Yang Gongzi takes the initiative to admit defeat, he doesn't have to do it!" ”

Yang Peng smiled: "Thank you so much, but I really want to beat you up now, what do you say I should do?" ”

The female officer was stunned for a moment, and immediately translated the words. There was a commotion at the scene, obviously very angry at Yang Peng's arrogance, and Buffon was even more hideous and looked like he wanted to teach Yang Peng a good lesson.

Yang Peng said: "Don't talk nonsense, come on!" ”

Buffon seemed to understand this, clenched his fists and walked towards Yang Peng. The noise of the scene immediately quieted down, and they all looked at the two who were about to fight. Cynthia frowned, and the princes and ministers showed a look of schadenfreude, they were all waiting to see a good show!

Buffon puffed up his chest, he was already tall, and he looked even more majestic at the moment! Not to mention, but in terms of this physique, Yang Peng is really at an absolute disadvantage compared to him!

Buffon shouted, like a tiger roaring, and then saw him rushing towards Yang Peng violently, like a tiger out of the box, everyone onlookers were shocked, and even Yan Ji couldn't help but get nervous.

Yang Peng saw that Buffon was menacing, and he didn't dare to be careless, so he immediately pulled out his lunge and was ready to go. Buffon rushed in front of Yang Peng, and his right fist rushed towards Yang Peng's chest, the speed and strength were impeccable, and the momentum was overwhelming! At the last moment, Yang Peng raised his left arm suddenly, and with a loud bang, the two of them collided violently with their forearms, and Buffon's thunderous punch was blocked by Yang Peng! Buffon was stunned for a moment, and his left fist followed, slamming Yang Peng's abdomen from top to bottom! At this moment, Buffon only felt a flower in front of him, and then he was surprised to find that his left hand fist was blocked by the opponent's right arm! Immediately afterwards, he only felt a strong force pushing towards him, and he couldn't help but take two steps back and disengage from the other party.

Buffon steadied himself and looked at Yang Peng in surprise, only then did he realize that the other party was not what he thought. immediately put away his contempt, put on a posture, and prepared to fight with all his might.

Yang Peng clenched his fists and said with a smile: "Now it's my turn." Buffon frowned and snorted.

Yang Peng suddenly took a step forward, and swept his right foot towards the opponent's waist ribs. Buffon saw that the other party's figure moved, and the kick had already swept to his waist, so he couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly dodged back! His waist seemed to be blown by a strong wind, and although he was not hit, he clearly felt the terrible power of that leg, and his heart couldn't help but be shocked!

Yang Peng was unforgiving, one kick missed, and the second kick followed one after another! Buffon saw that the opponent's second kick had hit his chest, and quickly raised his arm to resist, and there was a loud snap, as if two heavy objects had hit each other hard! Buffon was shocked back two steps by the powerful force and wanted to fight back, but found that the opponent's third move was attacking again, this time with a fist! Buffon had no time to fight back and quickly resisted! In this way, Chen Xiao attacked more than a dozen moves in a row like a tiger leaping into a dragon, and Buffon blocked more than a dozen moves in a row and took seven or eight steps back!

Everyone was stunned, and many of them looked incredulous, they really couldn't believe that their country's first brave general had retreated under the onslaught of the other party and had no power to fight back. Cynthia, on the other hand, swept away the troubles she had just had, and her beautiful eyes sparkled, as if she had seen a treasure that she had longed for so much.

Buffon was attacked by Yang Peng more than a dozen times in a row and couldn't fight back, and couldn't help but be annoyed and angry. At this moment, seeing that the other party kicked straight over, he immediately pursed his mouth and straightened his chest, and actually took Yang Peng's kick with his chest! Hearing only a muffled bang, Yang Peng's kick kicked heavily on Buffon's chest, but Buffon stood still like a rock! Yang Peng couldn't help frowning. At this moment, Buffon roared angrily, and the giant fist in his right hand rushed straight towards Yang Peng's front door with the momentum of wind and thunder, and the embarrassed and angry Buffon had already left his promise not to slap his face!

Seeing that part of the giant fist was about to smash on Yang Peng's face door, at the last moment, Yang Peng crossed his arms to protect the face door, only to hear a loud bang, Buffon's giant fist hit Yang Peng's arms crossed, Yang Peng's whole person flew upside down a few meters and fell back to the ground!

Buffon stared at Yang Peng, his expression solemn and fierce, as if a fierce beast had seen a beast that was evenly matched. Yang Peng looked relaxed, moving his arms, the power of the opponent's punch just now was really amazing, even if his arm had been tempered as early as when he joined the army, he also felt bursts of piercing pain.

Buffon roared, raised his arms and rushed towards Yang Peng. Yang Peng smiled excitedly and immediately greeted him. In the blink of an eye, the two met, Buffon punched Yang Peng's face door, Yang Peng quickly raised his left hand and grabbed the opponent's wrist, and almost at the same time, his right hand fist went straight to the opponent's face door! However, the fist stopped abruptly in mid-air, and it turned out that the opponent's left hand also grabbed his wrist in time. Both of them grabbed each other's wrists at the same time and pushed forward with all their strength! I saw that the two of them looked hideous and fierce, the green tendons on their heads were bulging, the muscles on their arms were high, and their bones made a gurgling sound! The audience all stared wide-eyed and held their breath, and they were all extremely nervous!

The two are evenly matched in strength, and it is difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser.

Just when everyone thought that the two sides would continue to stalemate, Yang Peng suddenly became short, and the princes and ministers couldn't help but be happy when they saw this. However, this idea had just arisen, but the scene suddenly reversed, and Yang Peng kicked Buffon in the calf. Buffon's attention at this time was all on the opponent's upper body and did not pay attention to the next handicap at all, and his right foot was suddenly slammed, and the whole person lost his balance when he landed! Buffon immediately felt bad, and at this moment, he only felt that the other party pulled his right arm violently, and the whole person flew up, and fell to the ground with a pop, and fell a dog eating! Buffon was so embarrassed that he wanted to get up immediately, but he couldn't get up for a while because of the severe pain all over his body! A few guards rushed over and set Buffon up!

The princes and ministers of Byzantium were all dumbfounded, and looked at Yang Peng with a ghost-like expression, their eyes full of horror. Yan Ji was extremely excited, if it didn't feel inappropriate, she would definitely cheer. And the Byzantine empress Cynthia, after a brief period of horror, had a bright look in her eyes, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Yang Peng smiled and said to Buffon: "I'm sorry, I have made my strength a little bigger." ”

Buffon couldn't understand Yang Peng's words, but he was mocking himself, he was so angry that he shouted: "I'll fight you to the death!" With a shout, he pushed away the guards who were holding him.

Empress Cynthia glared and shouted, "Don't be rude! As a Byzantine general, you are so graceless, what do you look like! Buffon was so depressed and ashamed that he wanted to find a hole to get into. The female officer next to Cynthia hurriedly said: "Yang Gongzi just apologized to the general just now, saying that he shouldn't use so much strength!" It's okay not to say this, but when Buffon heard this, he thought that this was the most vicious humiliation of the other party, and he was so angry that he smoked! wanted to do it, but he was afraid that he would be humiliated and blamed by His Majesty, so he immediately said angrily to Cynthia: "Your Majesty, the last general is not feeling well and has retired!" ”

Cynthia thought it would be good to let Buffon and Yang Mu separate for a while, so she ordered someone to send Buffon home to rest.

After Buffon left, the atmosphere became much more harmonious. Cynthia walked up to Yang Peng, her beautiful eyes were full of brilliance, and she muttered a word. The female official immediately translated: "Your Majesty praises Gongzi as the number one warrior in the world!" Yang Peng smiled.

Cynthia re-seated the crowd. This time, Yang Peng sat at the head of the right, and no one raised any more objections. Cynthia toasted Yang Peng with a glass of wine, and then said something. The female official said: "Your Majesty said that Gongzi saved her life, and she wants to repay Gongzi well." Originally, I didn't know how to repay him, but now that I see that Childe is so brave and extraordinary, this matter is easy to do. Cynthia then said something more, and the female officer continued: "Your Majesty said that with the martial courage of Gongzi, you can become a general of our Byzantine Empire!" Your Majesty intends to crown the prince as the general of our personal guard of the Byzantine Empire! ”

Yang Peng snorted, and Yan Ji on the side glanced at him, as if to say: Look, this limelight can't get off the stage.

Yang Peng smiled and said to Cynthia, who had been longing for a year: "Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness." It's just that I, a Han Chinese, how can I be a general of the Byzantine Empire? So I had to live up to His Majesty's kindness! ”

The lady translated the words. When even an old minister with white hair and a white beard stood up and muttered something to Empress Cynthia. The Empress frowned. Yang Peng couldn't help but feel happy, he knew that the minister was trying to persuade the empress to retract his fate. Then several ministers and nobles rose up to talk about the item, apparently all of them echoed the old minister. The empress said something very displeased, it should be a refutation, but the female official did not translate, and Yang Peng didn't know what she was talking about.

The old minister spoke anxiously again, and Cynthia slapped the table and spoke angrily. The faces of the ministers changed, their momentum was immediately discharged, and they all looked very embarrassed.

Yang Peng felt bad, and hurriedly said to Cynthia: "Your Majesty, I still have my wife, children, and parents waiting for me to go back, and I must not stay here!" Since Your Majesty wants to repay me for saving my life, then please let me go! ”

The female officer translated this, Cynthia frowned, the depressed-looking ministers became lively again, and the boss hurriedly said something.

Cynthia glanced at Yang Peng angrily and said something. Female Official; "Your Majesty said that Gongzi doesn't need to rush to decide, let's go back and think about it first! As for the matter of the parents, wives and children that the son said, we can bring them all to our Byzantine Empire! Yang Peng still had to say something, but who knew that Nacinthia had already gotten up and left.

Yang Peng and Yan Ji returned to the inn. Yan Ji asked teasingly; "Husband, is this called self-defeating?"

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