Chapter 39 Peaceful Return to Song
With the opening of the door, a quiet and virtuous woman slowly walked in, followed by two handsome little maids. Yang Silang sighed in his heart, that's all. You have lived for so many years, what are you afraid of?
"Princess, let me tell you..." Yang Silang turned around and just wanted to talk to the people behind him, but found that there was nothing in several cases, and even the two papers with his name missing. Yang Silang turned around and saw the open window.
The Iron Mirror Princess didn't know that Yang Silang looked back and didn't care. She just whispered, "Your son-in-law, I know you were reprimanded by your mother again in court today. Don't take it seriously. The mother may have forgotten what you said at the beginning that she would never fight with Song Bing. Nowadays, the capital is not peaceful. My mother doesn't want to use those outsiders, so she wants you to help the national teacher set up. Tomorrow morning, I'll talk to my mother. Don't worry, don't sigh..."
Yang Silang just wanted to nod, but when he thought of Mu Guiying before, he immediately woke up. Yes, this is a good opportunity to get out of the city. Thinking of this, Yang Silang meditated a little and said in a low voice, "For so many years, it has been difficult for the princess to deal with me and the empress dowager. Since the Empress Dowager thinks I am a close person, I will do something. However, I won't help the national teacher set up a battle, and I won't sit in the battle. How about I be responsible for escorting grain and fodder?
Ah? Really?" As soon as Princess Iron Mirror heard Yang Silang relax, the joy in her heart was really indescribable.
After seeing Yang Silang's heroism and his handsome appearance on the battlefield, Princess Iron Mirror fell in love with him at first sight. Later, Yang Silang was determined to die in front of Empress Dowager Xiao, and Princess Iron Mirror admired him even more. Therefore, Princess Tiejing, who was deeply loved by the Empress Dowager Xiao, every time she opened her mouth to save Empress Dowager Xiao and asked Yang Silang to be his son-in-law.
Although Empress Dowager Xiao likes Yang Silang to be brave and good at fighting, she does not like him marrying her daughter. However, Princess Iron Mirror insisted again and again, and Empress Dowager Xiao was relieved. But after Yang Silang became his son-in-law, he refused to fight for Liao and Song, which made Empress Dowager Xiao very angry. For a long time, I haven't looked at Yang Silang.
During this period, the generals who sneaked into the Song Dynasty in the capital had not been caught; the national teacher had to set up an array and went back and forth to the capital, and Empress Dowager Xiao wanted to use her cronies. In the early morning, Empress Dowager Xiao specially summoned Yang Silang to let him lead troops to help the national division. Yang Silang refused to agree as soon as he heard that this was used to deal with the Song Dynasty. Empress Dowager Xiao was so angry that she naturally scolded Yang Silang severely.
After hearing this, Princess Iron Mirror was full of sadness. However, she did not resent anyone. As before, she first came to persuade Yang Silang and then planned to coax Empress Dowager Xiao. But Princess Iron Mirror did not expect that the son-in-law, who had always said the best, would promise to escort food and grass. How could Princess Iron Mirror make her eyebrows happy?
"Then I'll tell my mother." Saying that Princess Iron Mirror was about to turn around and go out, Yang Silang hurriedly said, "Princess, it's getting late, and it's the same to enter the palace tomorrow."
"It's okay. Anyway, Zhongyuan is also accompanying his mother in the palace. I'll go to see him. Princess Iron Mirror was as quiet as usual, which made Yang Silang sigh slightly.
Mu Guiying jumped in through the window after the Iron Mirror Princess left. Standing not far behind Yang Silang, Mu Guiying also sighed. I thought that when the Yang family gathered in the Tianmen array, Yang Silang's experience was even more painful. Should I also flap my wings with Yang Silang and Princess Iron Mirror? Suddenly, such an idea came to Mu Guiying's mind.
"I don't know your name yet?" Yang Silang seemed to be much relaxed. After turning around, he began to inquire how the person in front of him knew his identity.
Mu Guiying had to convince them to believe in themselves when she wanted to help Yang Silang and Princess Iron Mirror. So Mu Guiying didn't wait for Yang Silang to test him a little bit and directly introduced himself to Yang Silang. As for how Mu Guiying knew Yang Silang, Mu Guiying put this matter on the head of the teacher, the Virgin of Li Shan. Yang Silang is convinced of the legendary Virgin of Lishan.
Mu Guiying and Yang Silang also handed over the details before they got up and left. Yang Silang did not keep it. This is the son-in-law's house. There are many people and mixed eyes. It is inconvenient for Mu Guiying to stay here. After an appointment with Mu Guiying, Yang Silang personally sent Mu Guiying away from the back door of the son-in-law's mansion.
To make a long story short, Mu Guiying returned to the Zhuangyuan Mansion and talked to the Jiang brothers and sisters. Only then did the Jiang brothers and sisters know that the son-in-law of the eldest princess of Liao was actually the well-known general of the Yang family in the Song Dynasty. The brother and sister not only lamented that the world was unpredictable, but also celebrated that they could return to the Central Plains.
Mu Guiying looked at the brother and sister, but suddenly said, "Guiying thinks that Brother Jiang should not leave the capital at this moment."
"Hmm?" As soon as the Jiang brothers and sisters heard this, they immediately looked at Mu Guiying at the same time, waiting for her explanation.
Mu Guiying smiled first and then said, "Brother Jiang, according to the current situation, Liao will soon go to war with the Song Dynasty. The place of the war will definitely be the 'Tianmen array'. Since Yan Rong can become a national teacher, he thinks that the 'Tianmen' array will not be easy to crack. Brother Jiang is the champion of martial arts, and that convincing reason to help Liao attack Song..."
Jiang Cuiping is worthy of being an extraordinary woman. As soon as Mu Guiying said, she understood: "Yes, I can ask here how to crack the 'Tianmen Array' array. At that time, if the inside and outside will be combined, Liaoning will be defeated. Brother, we can also take revenge."
Jiang De thought about it, and it was right to do so. He also heard the master Li Tianwei mention that the simple formation is easy to break, and this difficult formation is really difficult to break. Nowadays, the 'Heaven Gate Array' set by the national teacher Yan Rong is used by Empress Dowager Xiao, but he is a cronin. I think this array must be good. If you kill a few more people on the battlefield, it will be a great contribution to helping the Song Dynasty defeat the Liao Kingdom. It's best to be able to mix with Xiao Tianyou and get revenge on him again.
"Well, I'll stay here." Jiang De nodded and agreed to stay. However, he asked Mu Guiying to take away his sister Jiang Cuiping. At this time, Jiang De's purpose in the capital has changed. Therefore, he doesn't want his only relative to be in this dangerous place. Jiang Cuiping also knew that she was not suitable to stay. She didn't use Mu Guiying to persuade her. She blushed and nodded and agreed.
In the early morning of the third day, according to the time set by Yang Silang, Mu Guiying and Jiang Cuiping came to the back door of the son-in-law's house. Yang Silang, who had been waiting here for a long time, wondered why there was a little woman, but her face was not shown. He led the two into an inconspicuous firewood room in the son-in-law's house.
Yang Silang pointed to the burden in the corner and said, "Fortunately, I took a few more clothes for you to try, otherwise I really have to run again." After saying that, Yang Silang walked out of the woodshed and waited outside.
"Thank you very much, my son-in-law." Mu Guiying smiled, but introduced Jiang Cuiping's identity to Yang Silang through the door, and finally said, "In the future, I have to ask my son-in-law to help Jiang Zhuangyuan more."
"I know." Yang Silang's voice was a little muffled, and I don't know whether it was because Mu Guiying found another trouble or because Mu Guiying brought another one at his own initiative. However, after Mu Guiying and Jiang Cuiping changed their clothes and went out, Yang Silang had no strange expression.
As a son-in-law, Yang Silang has two guards behind him, which is not important at all. Therefore, Mu Guiying and Jiang Cuiping can easily mix with the soldiers who escort grain and grass. However, when the team arrived at the south gate of the capital, it still stopped, and the generals guarding the city came to inquire in person.
This general is Su Heqing, who had a conflict with Jiang De outside the Zhuangyuan Mansion. Su Heqing knew that the grain and grass officer was a son-in-law and politely asked him before he wanted to simply check it. Of course, it is impossible for Yang Silang to let him be examined personally. He said in a low voice, "These more than a dozen people behind him have been strictly screened, and he also has the Empress Dowager's 'handling' in his hand. What else do you want to check?"
With that, Yang Silang stood up and looked coldly at Su Heqing. After all, Yang Silang is a long-time 'Yang family general', and his momentum of not being angry and self-righteous is very miserable. Seeing that Su Heqing was asked, Yang Silang waved his hand and was ready to leave the city.
However, without the pressure of Yang Silang's eyes, Su Heqing saw a familiar back among those soldiers and quickly said loudly, "Wait a minute, Mr. Son-in-law, subordinate..."
General Su, you'd better figure it out. If you insist on preventing Ben from leaving the city, he will be happy to stay in the house. Yang Silang's light words made Su Heqing hesitate for a long time. In the end, he raised his hand and motioned the general to let him go.
Su Heqing is Xiao Tianyou's son-in-law and naturally knows that Princess Iron Mirror's son-in-law has not been working for Liao for so many years, but he is still the closest person to Empress Dowager Xiao. Otherwise, how can you let the wooden son-in-law, who has not been out of the house for many years, lead the troops? Even if he is only willing to be a grain and forage officer, he is also very happy to hear that Empress Dowager Xiao. If it is because of Su Heqing, the wooden son-in-law will return home. This result is not what he alone can bear. After several measures, Su Heqing let him go and let Yang Silang take the grain and grass convoy out of the capital.
Besides, Yang Silang slowly marched towards Jiulong Mountain with the convoy. When he arrived at a intersection, Yang Silang stopped the convoy. Looking at the Liao soldiers sitting by the roadside resting, Yang Silang waved his hand and called Mu Guiying and Jiang Cuiping: "I forgot to bring back the 'handling'. You two, go back quickly and bring back the 'armor' to General Su to Ben."
"Yes, General Mu." Mu Guiying and Jiang Cuiping punched Yang Silang rude and ran in the direction of the capital.
Yang Silang looked at the disappearing figure, as if to say to himself, as if to others, "Then Su Heqing must hate me, and they may not be able to come back. Forget it, don't care about them."
"Departure--" Yang Silang rode on his horse and slowly continued to march towards Jiulong Mountain with a convoy of grain and grass.
When the motorcade disappeared, Mu Guiying and Jiang Cuiping jumped out of the grass next to them. At this time, the two have taken off the military uniforms of the Liao soldiers, both of whom are dressed in men's clothing. The two looked at each other and smiled, and then walked quickly to the south...
