Chapter 917: Lure the Enemy
At noon, the rice flowers finally woke up.
Xiao Yeyang, who was sitting behind the desk, heard the noise and looked over. He saw Daohua looking at him with sleepy eyes, her eyes full of smiles: "Awake?"
Daohua's eyes gradually became clear, and she felt her body aching. She glared at Xiao Yeyang fiercely, turned over, and left the back of her head to him.
The smile on Xiao Yeyang's face grew even wider. He stood up and walked over, sat down on the bed and pulled the quilt: "It's getting late, it's time to get up and have breakfast."
Daohua turned her back to Xiao Yeyang and said, "I'm not hungry."
Xiao Yeyang smiled and said, "It's fine if you want to continue sleeping. I can rest a little longer. Wei Hongcai and his gang just want me to be immersed in the land of tenderness day and night."
Hearing this, Daohua turned around and asked, "What do you mean?"
Xiao Yeyang said as a matter of course: "If you sleep, I will naturally sleep with you." After saying that, he pretended to take off his shoes and get on the bed.
Daohua was speechless and sat up: "I want to wash up."
Xiao Yeyang smiled and scratched Daohua's nose, then coughed towards the tent door.
Soon, Defu came in with toiletries and hot water.
After Daohua and Xiao Yeyang finished washing up, Defu brought breakfast over and set it aside.
While the two were eating, Defu told the Jinling Guards the news they had gathered: "Master, the Peony Lady beside the Western Liao merchant Kul is indeed Jiang Wanying."
Having said that, he paused.
"After Kuer arrived at Jianzhouwei, he gave Jiang Wanying to Wei Hongcai. She has been living in Wei Hongcai's tent all this time."
After hearing this, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang were silent.
After a while, Daohua asked, "Jiang Wanying originally married the eldest prince of Western Liao. How did she become the mistress of a Western Liao horse merchant? And how did she get involved with Wei Hongcai?"
Defu replied, "Because Jiang Wanying didn't receive any title after marrying into Western Liao, Yelu Kangda felt ashamed. After returning to Western Liao, he didn't pay much attention to or value Jiang Wanying."
"After the Jiang family disappeared, Yelu Kangda felt that Jiang Wanying was no longer useful, so he remarried a noblewoman from Western Liao. From then on, Jiang Wanying's life became somewhat difficult."
"The current Western Liao emperor had several sons. As he grew older, the conflicts among his sons became increasingly intense. Yelü Kangda, hoping to succeed smoothly, had to secretly befriend the powerful officials in the court. Jiang Wanying became his tool to win over the officials."
"Jiang Wanying escaped from the Western Liao imperial family with the desperate help of the Jiang family servants who came with her as a dowry. But her luck was really bad. Not long after her escape, she ended up in a brothel again. Kul bought Jiang Wanying while visiting a brothel."
Daohua frowned, "Yelü Kangda looks like a decent person, but I didn't expect him to be such a scum!"
Xiao Yeyang said calmly, "Since ancient times, few women who were married off to foreign countries have had a happy ending. My uncle had already rejected the marriage proposal from Western Liao. If it weren't for the Empress Dowager and the Jiang family trying to frame you, Jiang Wanying wouldn't have ended up like this."
"Everything has its cause and effect. Every sip and bite is predestined. If Jiang Wanying wants to blame someone, she should blame the overbearing Empress Dowager and the Jiang family. But it's obvious that she's placing all the blame on you and me."
"The Jiang family never looks for faults in themselves, and that's the case now."
Daohua looked at Defu and asked, "Have you found out what medicine the Yiyi dancer took?"
Defu glanced at Xiao Yeyang and said, "It's the Albizia Julibrissin."
When they heard the name of the medicine, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang instantly understood what it was used for.
This Jiang Wanying.
It's really hard to sympathize with him!
Daohua looked at Xiao Yeyang: "Jiang Wanying attached herself to Wei Hongcai just to deal with you and me. However, she is a bit stupid. She thought she was using Wei Hongcai, but she didn't know that Wei Hongcai was using her."
Given Xiao Yeyang's identity, if something happens to him, the emperor will definitely hold him accountable. Jiang Wanying will then become Wei Hongcai's best scapegoat.
Xiao Yeyang: "Continue to send people to keep an eye on it."
After breakfast, Daohua saw Xiao Yeyang lingering in the tent and asked, "Aren't you going out?"
Xiao Yeyang smiled and said, "Wei Hongcai has been staying in Jianzhou Guard. First, he wants to deal with me, and second, he's worried that I'll gather the border troops here. He's been secretly meeting with border generals for quite a while now. I'm giving him a chance now. Let's see how many border generals he can bribe."
As he said that, he pulled Daohua into his arms and sat down.
"It's a good thing you came, otherwise I would be bored to death staying in the tent all day."
On that day, Xiao Yeyang only left the tent at noon, had lunch with Wei Hongcai and others, and then hurried back.
Everyone could see that he was in a good mood and guessed that it must be because the dancer named Yiyi had served him well.
Wei Hongcai was very satisfied with this. He gave a look to Jianzhou Guard Commander Shen Jingbing and had a private meeting with several border army generals that night.
Dong Yuanxuan and Su Hongxin were a little worried.
Looking at Defu who was blocking them from entering the tent, Su Hongxin frowned: "Is Yeyang really trapped?"
Dong Yuanxuan glanced at Defu, who was looking at his nose and his heart without showing any worries. He said nothing and pulled Su Hongxin away.
If he guessed correctly, the dancer last night should be Sister Yan.
This Yan sister.
Dong Yuanxuan smiled and shook his head. She was so brave to dance in public. Ye Yang must have been very angry yesterday.
In the next few days, Xiao Yeyang rarely left the tent during the day.
When he appeared in front of everyone again, everyone was surprised.
He looked listless, with blue eyes, and looked like someone who had indulged in excessive sexual activities.
Xiao Yeyang ignored the gazes of others, but when Dong Yuanyao and Su Hongxin looked at him, he felt a little uncomfortable and regretted that he should not have let Daohua put on makeup for him before going out.
Jiang Wanying soon heard about this. After knowing it, she immediately laughed, but as she laughed, tears began to flow from her eyes.
She originally thought that Xiao Yeyang would not easily fall in love with Yiyi, but she did not expect things to go so smoothly. She underestimated the temptation of beauty to men.
"Yan Yiyi, now all we need is you!"
She originally wanted to capture Yan Yi first and sell her to Xiliao Brothel to make Xiao Yeyang miserable, but man proposes, God disposes, and Xiao Yeyang succeeded first.
The last batch of horses was received by Xiao Yeyang. On the surface, Wei Hongcai did a good job in buying horses this time. Xiao Yeyang purchased a total of 20,000 horses from Western Liao.
Xiao Yeyang asked someone to send the horse back to Ganzhou Wei, and then he couldn't wait to return to the tent.
Seeing this, the smile in Wei Hongcai's eyes deepened.
That evening, the madam came over and called Jiang Wanying, "Madam Mudan, Lord Wei wants you to go to the military tent."
Jiang Wanying frowned: "I can't walk around in front of people. Go and tell Lord Wei."
The madam smiled and said, "Master Wei said it's okay."
Jiang Wanying looked reluctant, but she still put on her veil and followed the madam out.
Soon, they arrived in front of a military tent.
Hearing the laughter inside, Jiang Wanying took a deep breath, walked in, and immediately frowned after entering.
Wei Hongcai was not there, only the commander of Jianzhou Guard and several border army generals were present.
When Shen Jingbing saw Jiang Wanying come in, his eyes lit up and he walked over in two steps: "Madam Mudan is here, come on, please take a seat."
Seeing Shen Jingbing coming over and holding her hand, and looking at her with a greedy look, Jiang Wanying's heart tightened, and she vaguely understood why Wei Hongcai asked her to come over.
This damn bastard!
Shen Jingbing felt Jiang Wanying's resistance, but he didn't care at all. He changed from pulling to hugging, and forcibly pulled her to his seat.
When the others saw this, they burst into laughter, and some even said bluntly: "Master Shen is in for a treat tonight!"
Jiang Wanying was so angry that she was shaking all over, but in front of the strong Shen Jingbing, she had no power to resist.
“Swish!”
The veil was pulled off.
When Shen Jingbing saw Jiang Wanying's beautiful face, his eyes sparkled green. He quickly picked up the wine glass and was about to feed Jiang Wanying: "Beauty, come and have a drink with us."
The people below started to make a fuss.
Jiang Wanying's mouth was filled with wine, and before she could swallow it, she saw Shen Jingbing's face coming towards her. Knowing what he was going to do, Jiang Wanying felt sick and hurriedly picked up the dishes on the table and hit Shen Jingbing.
“Bang!”
A hole was smashed in Shen Jingbing's head and blood was flowing out.
"Bitch!"
Shen Jingbing didn't expect that Jiang Wanying dared to attack him. He was stunned for a while. When he felt a headache, he came to his senses. Just when he was about to stand up and teach her a lesson, a group of Jinling Guards rushed in and surrounded everyone inside.
Xiao Yeyang glanced at Jiang Wanying lying on the ground, then said coldly to Shen Jingbing and others: "You are secretly communicating with the Western Liao royal family, arrest them all!"
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, fellow book lovers!
