Yang Peng returned to Prince Yan's Mansion. Prince Yan's Mansion was the Liushou Mansion. Since Yang Peng was already the King of Yan, he changed the Liushou Mansion to the Prince of Yan's Mansion.
"The King of Yan is back," the guard at the door shouted, and a man immediately ran out of the hall. It was Qian Letian. Qian Letian clasped his fists and bowed: "I pay my respects to my lord!" Yang Peng nodded and walked straight in.
After entering the hall, Qian Letian followed him in. Yang Peng casually sat down on a chair and asked, "Is there anything wrong?" "My lord, my subordinates discovered some suspicious situations and felt that they needed to be reported to the lord." Yang Peng waited quietly for the next step.
Qian Letian continued: "A group of businessmen-like people came from the south two days ago and brought a lot of goods from the south. But the strange thing is that these people did not trade with anyone. After receiving the report, my subordinates immediately
Suspicion arose, so someone was sent to secretly monitor the situation."
"This morning, I discovered that they actually, secretly had contact with people from the Princess Mansion..."
Yang Peng narrowed his eyes. At this time, Jiang Li brought hot tea. Yang Peng took a sip of the hot tea, put down the tea bowl, and glanced at Qian Letian, "Do you think there is anything wrong with this?" Qian Letian clasped his fists and said:
"I haven't found any evidence and don't dare to make wild guesses!" Yang Peng said with a smile: "I don't think it's okay. Princess Lihua is from the south. It's normal to buy things from businessmen from the south!"
At this time, in the princess mansion, Yang Peng's princess wife Zhao Lihua was in trouble. Why was it in trouble? It turned out that Ni Chengmou came and wanted to see her. Zhao Lihua didn't know whether she should see her or not. Zuo Si
You thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to meet him, so he ordered his trusted maid to go out to summon him.
At nightfall, when the lanterns were first lit, a young man dressed as a servant followed the maid beside Zhao Lihua into the princess mansion from the back door. Under the guidance of the maid, he went straight to the pavilion on the lake in the backyard. At this time, dressed in plain clothes
Zhao Lihua, wearing a long skirt and no make-up, is standing in the pavilion, facing the rippling blue lake water, with her back to the cobblestone path. Although she has not yet seen her true appearance, she is graceful and extraordinary.
As soon as the young man saw the graceful Princess Lihua, he immediately became excited and said, "Lihua!" His voice was trembling.
Zhao Lihua turned around and saw the man. She couldn't help but feel countless emotions welling up in her heart. The scene of parting that day was still vivid in her mind, but she completely lost the mentality at that time. She just felt that it seemed to be a ridiculous and bizarre dream.
The person in front of him seemed very strange. "Mr. Ni, long time no see. How are you?" Zhao Lihua said in a formal greeting.
Ni Chengmou was stunned. He imagined many scenes when the two of them wanted to meet, or they would throw themselves into his arms and cry bitterly, or they would be speechless and shed tears. But he did not expect that in the scene in front of him, she would be so cold and indifferent.
It's like a stranger.
Ni Chengmou came to his senses and stepped forward to hold Zhao Lihua's delicate hand. Zhao Lihua immediately took a step back, raised her eyebrows and scolded: "Master Ni has read a lot of poetry, but why is he so rude?"
Ni Chengmou's expression changed and he asked angrily: "We haven't seen each other for a few months, why is Princess Lihua so heartless? Are the vows made that day all fake?" Zhao Lihua blushed slightly and said angrily: "That day.
I was in love for the first time, I didn't know the reason, and I did ridiculous things. Now that I am the concubine of Prince Yan and a married woman, how can I keep making the same mistakes again and again! Mr. Ni has a distinguished talent, he should know the word "honesty and shame!"
Ni Chengmou was speechless, but his heart was filled with anger, mixed with jealousy, "Humph! I'm afraid the princess just said it nicely, but it's not because of the high power of the King of Yan, and I, Ni Chengmou, am just a minister of the Ministry of Rites!
"Zhao Lihua frowned, "If Mr. Ni wants to think so, I can't help it!" The two fell silent, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. Ni Chengmou asked sarcastically: "Since Her Royal Highness the Princess has already wielded her sword to cut off Qingsi, but
Why do you want to see me?"
Zhao Lihua glanced at the palace maid next to her, who immediately walked up to Ni Chengmou holding a small plate. Ni Chengmou saw that what was in the plate was clearly the family heirloom jade pendant he had given to Zhao Lihua that day. Seeing this scene, Ni Chengmou felt jealous in his heart.
The fire was even more uncontrollable. She looked at Zhao Lihua and said, "How ruthless the princess is!" Zhao Lihua felt a little ashamed, "It's strange that I, the princess, was young and ignorant at the time and didn't understand what love is?"
"So, the princess finally understands the meaning of love now?" Zhao Lihua's eyes showed a moving look, "Hanggou layman said that 'when the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win over countless people in the world'. I think I have met it."
." Of course Ni Chengmou knew who Zhao Lihua was talking about, and he was extremely jealous, "Why, how could you fall in love with that common man?"
"Shut up!" Zhao Lihua shouted angrily, and Ni Chengmou was stunned. Zhao Lihua said angrily: "You are not allowed to say that to him! His ambition is not something someone like you can understand!" Ni Chengmou finally confirmed that Zhao Lihua's heart was completely in that
Although he was jealous and jealous, he was even more worried about not being able to complete the task assigned by the prime minister and the emperor. Thinking about the consequences of the failure of the task, he couldn't help but break into a cold sweat. His mind was racing with thoughts, and he was considering countermeasures. Zhao Lihua saw Ni Cheng silently
She kept silent, thinking that she had hurt him severely, and couldn't help but feel very guilty, but this guilt was fleeting. She just wanted to know about this matter early, and said to the palace maid holding the wooden plate: "Bring Ni
Return the master's things to Mr. Ni."
The maid handed the plate over and said, "Master, please take it back." Ni Chengmou glanced at the jade pendant on the plate and sighed, "Since the princess is so ruthless, what else can I say?" Then he picked up the jade pendant and put it in his arms.
, cupping his fists and saying: "I came here this time, of course, because I want to see the princess, but the main reason is because I was entrusted by Your Majesty."
"Brother Imperial? Why did he send you here?" "Your Majesty was worried that the princess would not be used to living here, so he specially ordered his subordinates to bring many things that the princess likes, such as silk and satin from the south of the Yangtze River, green tea, etc." Zhao Lihua only felt in her heart.
Nuannuan said with emotion: "Brother Huang is really thoughtful!" He glanced at Ni Chengmou and said, "Thank you for traveling all the way to send it!"
"Princess, you don't have to be polite. This is just the official's duty." After a pause, "But these things are still left outside. I don't know when to bring them to the princess?" Zhao Lihua thought for a while, "Just tomorrow.
"Tomorrow, you come through the back door." "Yes. If the princess has no other instructions, I will leave." Zhao Lihua nodded and said to a maid standing outside the pavilion: "Send Mr. Ni off for me." The maid
Walking in, "Master Ni, please." Ni Chengmou gave Zhao Lihua a deep look. Zhao Lihua was frightened by his look. When she came to her senses, Li Chengmou had already left with the palace maid.
Zhao Lihua looked at Ni Chengmou's back, frowned slightly, and had a bad premonition in her heart, but she couldn't figure out what it was. Thinking that she was worrying too much, she laughed at herself, let out a long breath, and
Ni Chengmou's matter was finally resolved, which made her feel more relaxed.
The next day, early in the morning, the sun had just risen, and the whole city was still sleepy and extremely quiet. More than a hundred porters followed Ni Chengmou to the back alley of the Princess Mansion. When they arrived at the back door, Ni Chengmou stepped forward and knocked.
The wooden door. There were footsteps in the door, and then the wooden door creaked open, and an old servant appeared at the door. Ni Chengmou cupped his fists and said, "My Lord, Ni Chengmou, I have specially brought something to Her Majesty the Princess in accordance with the agreement with her." "Oh,
It's you, Her Royal Highness the Princess has already told you to come in." Then he pushed the wooden door open.
Ni Chengmou secretly winked at everyone, and then went in first, while others carried burdens and went in one after another. Ni Chengmou and the old servant walked side by side, Ni Chengmou looked around, and the old servant said as he walked: "Princess
His Highness hasn't gotten up yet, so you can just wait in the courtyard. If you can't wait, just put down your things and go."
Ni Chengmou stopped, sneered and said to the old servant: "Let's go find the princess ourselves!" The old servant was stunned, "You..." Suddenly a very advantageous arm wrapped around his neck, and his next words suddenly stopped.
He stopped and didn't understand what was going on. He only felt a cold feeling on his back and chest. When he saw the bloody knife tip coming out of his chest, he was frightened to death, and he died immediately.
Ni Chengmou shouted in a low voice: "Remember it all, don't let anyone run away!" Everyone agreed, took out their weapons from their burdens, and rushed towards the front and back yards.
"Princess, it's time to wake up!" Zhao Lihua woke up with a start, and saw that the bedroom was actually full of big men. Several of her personal maids were controlled and trembling all over, while Ni Chengmou stood there with a sinister look on his face.
In the distance, the princess was frightened and hurriedly covered herself with a quilt and asked, "Ni Chengmou, what are you doing?"
Ni Chengmou smiled coldly, "Didn't I say that I would give the princess what your majesty gave to the princess? This is what your majesty gave to the princess!" Zhao Lihua's face turned pale, "Brother the emperor wants me to die! Why?"
Ni Chengmou shook his head, "The princess is wrong. I don't want the princess to die. I want that traitor Yang Peng to die!" Zhao Lihua's expression changed, "What did you say?" Ni Chengmou sat down on the edge of the bed. Zhao Lihua quickly hugged the quilt.
He shrank inward and shouted: "Get away!" Ni Chengmou laughed and said: "I'm afraid the princess can't be helped now!" Then he said coldly: "I didn't want to do this at first. I thought the princess could help us deal with Yang Peng without changing her original intention.
.But I didn’t expect that the princess has changed and actually fell in love with someone else! I had no choice but to take this last resort!" Zhao Lihua was shocked and confused.
When Ni Chengmou saw Zhao Lihua's dazzling beauty, he couldn't help but feel emotional. He stretched out his hand to pick Zhao Lihua's chin. Zhao Lihua's complexion changed and she shouted angrily: "How presumptuous!" Ni Chengmou was caught by Zhao Lihua's power and trembled all over.
He couldn't help but retract his hand.
Ni Chengmou became a little angry and said, "Humph! You are so stubborn!" Then he waved his hand. A big man immediately brought over pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Ni Chengmou said to Zhao Lihua: "Write a letter to Yang Peng now." Zhao Lihua felt confused.
"What to write?" Ni Chengmou said in a sinister manner: "Of course it is to write about the lingering love between you. The most important thing is to tell him that you have specially prepared a banquet and are waiting to drink with him."
Zhao Lihua first heard that Ni Chengmou asked her to write a love letter to Yang Peng, and her face turned red with embarrassment. However, after hearing the following words, she immediately understood the other party's intention and snorted coldly, "You want to harm him, don't think I will fall for it!" Ni Chengmou
His face fell, "I'm afraid it's not up to you!" "Huh!" Zhao Lihua showed disdain and turned away. Ni Chengmou was so angry that he pulled out the long knife from the big man's waist and put it on Zhao Lihua's snow-white neck.
When the palace maid saw this, she couldn't help but exclaimed. Zhao Lihua had never encountered such a thing before and she was trembling with fear.
"If you don't write it, your beautiful life will be gone!" At this moment, Ni Chengmou still has no temperament of a talented man. His face is ferocious and fierce, and he is clearly a villain. Although Zhao Lihua was extremely frightened, she was also extremely angry, and she was furious.
He glared at Ni Chengmou and said: "I was really blind back then, but I still thought you were a good person!" Ni Chengmou was inevitably a little ashamed, but now he was so angry that he couldn't care about it anymore. He glared and shouted: "Stop talking nonsense.
Do you want to write this letter or not!" "No! Kill me, kill me!"
Ni Chengmou was extremely angry, "Okay, okay, you actually gave up your life for him!" He hesitated for a moment, turned around and walked to several palace maids. When the palace ladies saw him approaching fiercely, they were almost frightened to death. Ni Chengmou glanced at them
With one glance, his eyes fell on a palace maid who looked relatively calm. He forced her with a long knife and said, "Go and tell Yang Peng that the princess has specially prepared a banquet and invited him to the banquet!"
Zhao Lihua shouted: "Don't go! Don't go!..." Ni Chengmou was furious, turned around and shouted: "Stop her mouth for me." The big man standing by the bed took a brocade handkerchief from nowhere, and was rude.
The ground stuffed Zhao Lihua's mouth. As a princess, Zhao Lihua had never been treated like this before. She felt uncomfortable and aggrieved, and couldn't help but shed tears.
Ni Chengmou shouted to the palace maid: "Go quickly! Otherwise, I will kill your princess!" The palace maid was at a loss and ran out subconsciously. Soon after, the palace maid came outside the Yanwang Mansion and asked to see the Yanwang. The guards immediately reported the news and came out to arrest her.
He was led into the study room at the back. At this time, Yang Peng, Qian Letian, Chai Yonghui, Zuo Mou, Yelu Hanyu and Yang Zhen were discussing matters.
The palace maid hurried in, hurriedly bowed and said: "Princess, please invite King Yan to a banquet!" Everyone looked at each other and felt very strange. Yelu Hanyu said jokingly: "Your Highness, the princess, would actually invite the eldest brother.
We are having a banquet, the sun really comes out from the west." Yang Peng smiled and asked, "Why did the princess suddenly invite me to a banquet?" The palace maid hesitated for a long time and couldn't explain why. Yang Peng seemed a little panicked when he saw her.
Looking panicked, she asked puzzledly, "Why are you in such a panic?" The palace maid quickly shook her head and said, "No, no!" Then she urged, "Your Highness, Prince Yan, please go to the princess's mansion with your slave!
"
Yang Peng looked at the palace maid for a moment, nodded, "Okay." Then he smiled and said, "It's rare for a princess to be so elegant, so naturally I can't deny her kindness." The palace maid was overjoyed. Yang Peng said to the palace maid, "You go to the front first.
Wait for me, I'll change my clothes and come back." The palace maid promised, and then urged: "His Royal Highness, please hurry up!" Yang Peng smiled and nodded. The palace maid left and came to the front hall to wait.
.
After a while, when I was anxious, I heard the sound of footsteps, and Yang Peng, dressed in black casual clothes and carrying a horizontal knife at his waist, arrived.
The palace maid hurriedly greeted her, "Your Highness, let's go." Yang Peng nodded, and the two of them left the hall, walked out of the gate, and walked towards the princess's mansion. The palace maid was as anxious as ever, and she walked very fast, and they arrived there in no time.
Yang Peng was in front. Yang Peng said with a smile: "Don't be so anxious!" The palace maid stopped and waited for Yang Peng. Although she was extremely anxious, she did not dare to show it.
Yang Peng looked at the palace maid and asked, "Why do you feel like your butt is burned by fire?" The palace maid hesitated and couldn't explain. "Why did the princess suddenly think of inviting me to drink today?" "Well, slave, slave, no."
I know. Probably, probably Your Highness the Princess misses Your Highness King Yan."
Yang Peng laughed, "This is really a strange thing! She is sad and has no embrace. I am afraid she misses me with gritted teeth!" The palace maid quickly shook her head, "No!" and then said very seriously.
"Your Highness King Yan, actually, your Highness the Princess loves you very much!" Yang Peng smiled and said nothing. Seeing Yang Peng's seeming disbelief, the palace maid said anxiously: "What the slave said is true! Princess, for the sake of
King Yan would rather give up his life..." Suddenly he realized that he had spilled the beans and quickly stopped.
Yang Peng frowned and asked, "Princess, you didn't even risk your life for me. Did something happen?" The palace maid shook her head quickly and put on a fake smile, "No! Nothing!" Yang Peng stared at her,
Smiled.
The two came to the outside of the princess's mansion. The huge princess's mansion didn't even have a doorkeeper. Yang Peng said angrily: "The princess's guards are too lazy, they don't even stand guard!" The palace maid forced a smile and said: "They,
They are all used to being lazy, so naturally they cannot compare with King Yan's soldiers. King Yan, please come quickly!" Yang Peng did not go into details and followed the palace maid into the gate.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked into the gate, the gate slammed shut, and dozens or hundreds of big men poured out from all directions, surrounding Yang Peng. Everyone had their weapons unsheathed and looked evil.
Yang Peng asked the palace maid: "What's going on?" The palace maid knelt down with a plop and cried: "I can't help you. They captured the princess. If you don't listen to them, the princess will be dead!" "Hahahaha...
..." A burst of arrogant laughter suddenly came. Yang Peng followed the sound and saw a very handsome young man walking out from among the big men. He was a little surprised, "It's you!?"
Ni Chengmou nodded, "Yes, it's me! Yang Peng, you didn't expect that a hero like you would fall into the hands of a mere scholar like me!" Yang Peng said: "I really didn't expect that this pretentious and talented man would
It's really eye-opening to actually serve as a dog for the Khitan people!" Ni Chengmou became angry and said, "Yang Peng, don't use your words to show your advantage, you should think about your own situation!"
Yang Peng looked at the big men holding weapons around him and asked with a smile: "What are you going to do?" Ni Chengmou said proudly: "You have two ways now. One is to put down your weapons obediently and come back with us.
Bianjing, accept His Majesty's punishment; the second is to fight with trapped beasts and you are killed by us, we will carry your head back and revive you. You are a smart man, I believe you will make the right decision!"
Yang Peng burst out laughing, and the laughter was full of sarcasm, just like a tiger laughing at a self-righteous sheep and rabbit. Ni Chengmou felt uneasy and annoyed, and shouted: "Don't laugh! Don't laugh!" Yang Peng took a look at the people around him.
Those big men asked teasingly: "Do you think just these people can take me away or take my life!"
Ni Chengmou said with a sullen face: "Yang Peng, don't pretend to be calm in front of me! Even if you have three heads and six arms, you can't escape today! Come on, kill him!"
The two big men immediately rushed towards Yang Peng impatiently, swinging their swords to the left and right. Yang Peng raised the horizontal sword, and there was a loud bang, and the two long swords struck the horizontal sword scabbard. The two men ate a
Shocked, they wanted to take back the long sword and continue to attack. At this moment, they saw a flash of cold light in front of them, and Yang Peng unsheathed his sword. Before the two of them had time to react, their throats were cut open, and they fell to the ground with blood spattered.
Ni Chengmou was shocked. Although he had heard of Yang Peng's reputation a long time ago, he didn't take it seriously. He thought it was just an exaggeration based on rumors. At this moment, he discovered that Yang Peng seemed to be as brave and fierce as the legend.
!
"Up, up, up..." Ni Chengmou shouted urgently. Seven or eight big men howled and swarmed up. Yang Peng smiled coldly and fought with the seven or eight people with a horizontal knife. The weapons collided with a loud clang and blood continued to splash out.
, one by one the big men were beheaded on the spot, and in the blink of an eye, seven or eight big men were all killed by Yang Peng's horizontal sword! The tiger beat the sheep with ease!
Ni Chengmou couldn't help but feel chills running down his spine, and all the big men were also frightened. Ni Chengmou thought that he was now riding a tiger, and if he didn't kill Yang Peng, his life would definitely be at stake. At this thought, he became desperate and shouted: "Everyone, come together!
"The big men mustered up their courage and rushed forward with roars.
However, before the battle with Yang Peng, five or six big men fell to the ground. Everyone was shocked and confused, and quickly stopped and looked around. They saw many murderous figures in black clothes and black armor coming from unknown times on the surrounding walls and roofs.
The soaring warriors were holding a strange-shaped hand crossbow. It was obvious that they were the ones who shot down the men in black with arrows just now. Ni Chengmou's heart sank to the bottom, and he panicked and didn't know what to do.
At this moment, the door was slammed open with a clang, and a beautiful female general led many soldiers and horses in, surrounding Ni Chengmou and all the big men.
The female general walked up to Yang Peng and rolled her eyes at him, her eyes full of complaints. This female general was none other than Yang Peng's wife, the former Princess of Liao, Yelu Hanyu. Yang Peng held Yelu Tri's delicate hand,
Smile softly.
"What, what's going on?" Ni Chengmou couldn't help shouting. Yelu Hanyu snorted coldly, "You bitch, you think you are smart, but you are actually stupider than a pig! You think you are very smart, but you don't know that we are
I have discovered your plan a long time ago!"
What happened after all? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
