Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 457 Night Banquet
Yingge was very angry, so she twisted her waist and gave a whip kick.

However, she held back a little.

The last time at the Jingguan of the Song Dynasty, she was about to use a "whip kick", but was blocked by Yang Yuan's "iron bolt".

This time, Yingge was more careful and reserved her strength. If Yang Yuan dared to use the "Iron Door Bolt" again, this girl...

Yang Yuan raised his hand and grabbed Yingge's ankle.

Even if Yingge didn't hold back, how could Yang Yuan's body movements now be compared to what they were back then?
"You let go!"

Wearing a skirt with her long legs raised high, Yingge was grabbed by someone. She felt very embarrassed, but she couldn't pull her legs back no matter how hard she tried.

"If you do that again, I'll bend you into a split position."

Yang Yuan threatened, then let go of Yingge's ankle.

Yingge took two steps back and retracted her legs, feeling a little scared.

Fortunately, I had to escort Sister Yuzhen back to Goryeo and rode all the way here, so I wore trousers.

Now the upper class of the Jin Dynasty generally admired Han customs and imitated the etiquette and dress of the Central Plains.

If I hadn't worn leggings because I was riding a horse, there would be nothing inside. If someone grabbed my ankle, I would have been dead.

Yang Yuan told Yingge and Jin Yuzhen what Chunwu Xiaonai had heard from Mr. Li.

Yingge was shocked when she heard that Li Minghe had a sudden idea to marry her to his grandson.

Jin Yuzhen blushed.

Song...the number one scholar in the Song Dynasty, a Hanlin scholar?
Jin Yuzhen secretly glanced at Yang Yuan's handsome face and felt her face getting even hotter.

The concept of hierarchy in Japan and Goryeo is extremely strong.

As a Goryeo noble, and having been outstanding since childhood, Kim Ok-jeong considered herself the best in the world.

She didn't even take the king, who was a member of the Goryeo royal family, seriously.

So when Shaniuer wanted to abduct her as a plaything, she thought of committing suicide.

It was not to remain faithful to her husband Wang Shuai, but because she could not accept herself as a noble person becoming a plaything of a lowly person.

However, Mrs. Jin considers herself the best in the world.
The number one scholar in the State of Song was a god in her eyes!
Not to mention that Yang Yuan has a handsome face and bright eyes, and is a man of outstanding talent.

Even if Yang Yuan was not very good-looking and was older, for example, if he was around forty years old now, with three long locks of hair.

Under the influence of the sacred halo of the No. 1 Scholar of the Song Dynasty, he would be flawless and full of charm in Jin Yuzhen's eyes.

Not to mention that Yang Yuan is even more perfect at this moment.

Of course, this does not mean that Jin Yuzhen was happy to be treated as a gift and given to Yang Yuan as a concubine.

Just when she heard that the "gift recipient" was Yang Yuan, she felt only shyness and embarrassment, but no humiliation or anger.

Jin Yuzhen did not feel humiliated or angry, but Yingge did.

Yingge pulled out her dagger and chopped the table angrily.

"Ahhh, I really can't stand it anymore, why are you all like this?
My father wants to marry me to Wanyan Zheng’s son, saying it’s for some bullshit long-term alliance between the two families!

The grass on Wanyan Quxing's grave is now ten feet high. Does the fact that I'm not married affect his alliance?

This damn old man surnamed Li has another crazy idea, and wants to force me to marry his grandson? Has he asked me?

You stinky men, you can conquer the world if you want, you can grab the country if you want, but why do you have to make things difficult for me, why do you have to make things difficult for me, why do you have to make things difficult for me, why do you have to make things difficult for me..."

"Knock, knock, knock," the table was chopped with knife marks.

Yang Yuan said, "Calm down. Solving this matter is much easier than dealing with the marriage with Wanyan Zheng's family. There is nothing to worry about."

"Huh? Do you have a solution?"

Yingge immediately looked at Yang Yuan with shining eyes.

Yang Yuan said: "Solution? No!"

Yingge raised her eyebrows.

Yang Yuan said: "I just heard about this and told you right away, but I couldn't think of a solution.

But why did Li Taigong do this? Isn’t it because he is attracted by the power of your Wugulun family?
So, no matter what, he won't force you to death. You can't fail to get help and instead create a big enemy for yourself, right? "

"Yes!" Yingge's anger turned into joy, and Tyrannosaurus instantly regained his senses.

She looked at the chopped-up tabletop and said to Yang Yuan a little embarrassedly, "Then how can I refuse him?"

Yang Yuan said: "If you resist with your death, he won't dare to use force, right? But the best way is to let them retreat when they see the difficulty.

For example, if you act like a stubborn and willful person, and make the young master of the Li family hate you, he might give up. "

"Pretending to be willful and capricious?" Yingge thought about it and felt a little embarrassed.

This girl is well-educated, gentle and virtuous. Everyone loves her and flowers bloom wherever she goes. It is very difficult for me to pretend to be willful and domineering.

Forget it, let’s put the difficult things aside for now.

Yingge stared at Yang Yuan with her big eyes and said, "What about Sister Yuzhen? You...you won't just go with the flow, right? After all, she is so beautiful, but Sister Yuzhen has a husband."

After hearing this, Jin Yuzhen felt a little embarrassed.

However, she still looked at Yang Yuan with wide eyes, wanting to know how he could avoid Li Taigong's forced matchmaking.

Yang Yuan had not yet talked to the two of them in detail, and at this time he did not know that Jin Yuzhen was the lady that the old king of Goryeo feared like a tiger.

He looked at Jin Yuzhen, a Goryeo woman, and indeed she had a unique charm.

Yingge suddenly stepped in, blocking his view, pointed the tip of the knife at Yang Yuan, and said fiercely: "I'm asking for your advice, what are you looking at with such lustful eyes."

Yang Yuan spread his hands and said, "I told you, I just got the news. When Li Taigong comes, we will deal with him as he moves."

Yingge asked, "What if it can't be demolished?"

Yang Yuan winked at her and said, "If you can't tear it down, then don't do it. I won't suffer any loss anyway."

As soon as these words came out, Jin Yuzhen's face suddenly turned the color of peach.

Yingge laughed out of anger: "Okay, I knew you never thought of refusing, you shameless bastard!"

……

"Grandpa, you're looking for me!" Li Jun and his cousin Li Youcai ran onto the deck at great speed.

They were preparing to transport a boatload of treasures ashore when they suddenly learned that their grandfather was looking for them. Not knowing what important matter it was, they hurried over.

Li Minghe looked at Li Jun with satisfaction, as he was a very outstanding grandson.

Li Taigong said: "Jun'er, just now at the dock, General Shaniu'er captured Miss Yingge from the Wugulun family.

Grandfather wants to marry her to you. If you marry a girl from the Wugulun family, it will be easier for our Li family to win the support of the Wugulun family."

Li Jun was stunned and immediately showed a reluctant look.

When he and his cousin Li Youcai and a group of good brothers were escorting a ship full of treasures to Liaodong, they had already made plans.

He was looking forward to arriving in Liaodong like a dragon entering the sea, recruiting soldiers and becoming a general with a large number of troops, and marching across the battlefield with infinite power.

Which young man doesn’t have a dream of being a hero?

At his age, he gets excited just thinking about the feeling of galloping on the battlefield.

Then, you suddenly asked me to marry you? You wanted me to be the link between another big clan?

Is it important to hold military power?
As long as I become a powerful general, what else would I want?
Each of the brothers was escorting a shipload of property, and they were all eager to recruit soldiers and expand their strength.

You want me to get married at this time?
If I am slow at every step, how can I compete with my brothers?
Li Jun knew very well that once he married the daughter of the Ugulu family, he would have only one mission left.

That was to bring his bride and secretly contact the Ugun clan, trying to promote an alliance between the two sides.

So what if you succeed?

The Ugulu clan is also a large clan, so it is impossible to share power with him.

Li Jun is a real man, but in the future he can only be a clown who relies on the influence of his wife's family to bully others?
"I don't want to get married now, Grandfather."

Li Jun used a serious address: “I don’t want to get married at this time, and I don’t want to marry a woman from the Ugulu family.

The Wugulun clan is too deeply tied to Wanyan Yong's faction. Let alone marrying just one of their daughters, even if we marry all the women in the Wugulun clan, the Wugulun clan will not consider whether they will turn to us or not."

Li Jun is a young man with a clear mind, which has always made Li Taigong proud.

However, Li Jun's clarity and intelligence have now become an obstacle for Li Minghe to implement his plan.

Li Jun wanted to build his own career, and strength is only his own if it is in his own hands.

Li Minghe is considering the interests of the entire Li family.

In his opinion, it is completely normal to sacrifice the personal interests of one member of the family for the benefit of the entire family.

But he ignored the fact that this individual also has his own ideas and interests.

"Jun'er, come here."

Li Minghe pulled Li Jun to the bow and said sincerely, "Jun'er, if we can bring the Wugulun clan over through marriage with the daughter of Erlun, it will certainly be great for our Li family. If not..."

Li Minghe's eyes deepened, and his voice lowered: "As both are members of the royal family, Wanyan Yong is more qualified to inherit the throne than your brother-in-law.

No one can be sure of the future. What if Wanyan Yong wins in the future?

Then my Li family can at least get a good result by following Wanyan Yong's Ugulun clan. Do you understand?"

"I understand, Grandfather, but I am not the only man in the Li family. Why do you want me to be this man?"

Li Minghe also felt a little guilty. It was a good thing that his grandson was ambitious.

Who would like an unfilial descendant who has no ambition and only knows how to chase after women all day long?

However, among the Li family's legitimate sons, Li Jun is the only one who is unmarried at marriageable age.

As for the concubine's younger brother..., Mr. Li did not consider him.

Seeing his grandson's stubborn expression, Grandpa Li changed his mind and softened his tone, saying, "How about this, you meet Miss Yingge first, and we can talk about the details later."

Mrs. Li patted Li Jun's shoulder soothingly and led him into the cabin.

Young man Mu Ai, perhaps after seeing the beauty of Miss Yingge, will his grandson change his mind on his own initiative?

Outside the cabin, Yazawa Kanon stood solemnly, holding her gun, not looking away.

But as Li Taigong and Li Jun approached, she secretly gestured to the cabin with one hand hanging by her side.

When Yang Yuan saw them, he immediately whispered to Ying Ge, "They are here, remember to be a little bit willful and capricious.

You can just curse the Li family. The more offensive you are, the better. Then tell them that if they force you to marry, you will strangle the young master of the Li family in the middle of the night."

After Yang Yuan finished speaking, he crossed his legs, picked up his teacup, and prepared to watch the show.

Yingge drew out her knife and chopped it on the table with a thump.

She glared at Yang Yuan fiercely, but strangely, her face flushed:
"Yang Yuan! You are the most ungrateful and lustful person in the world!

When... you used sweet words to ruin my innocence! Now you have finally fallen into my hands, what else can I say!"

"Puff!" Yang Yuan spat out a mouthful of tea.

This damn girl, why is she so deceiving?

She is obviously a little girl, why is her mind full of dirty thoughts?

I just let you act a little bit unruly and willful!

You had this idea when you were in Banjingguan, and why are you here again now?
Seeing Yang Yuan's reaction, Yingge felt proud: You want to stay out of it and watch the fun, no way!
If the young master of the Li family still has some dignity, he will never marry me after hearing this, right?
Moreover, this way, I have a reason to stop Mr. Li from forcing Sister Yuzhen and you to be together.

Hey! I'm smart!

At the cabin door, Mr. Li was stunned for a moment.

When Li Jun heard this, he was overjoyed and laughed out loud while looking up to the sky.

Hearing the laughter at the cabin door, the girl with the knife suddenly turned around.

She was indeed a beautiful girl with beautiful eyes and eyebrows, but Li Jun, who had heard what she had just said, looked at Yingge with a face full of disgust.

He said to Li Taigong: "Grandfather, did you hear what this girl said? If she becomes my grandson's concubine, I don't mind.

As for a wife, don’t think about it. I still have to arrange for the money to be brought ashore, so you can make the decision yourself.”

After saying this, Li Jun turned around and left. When he reached the side of the cabin, he waved to his cousin Li Youcai, and the two of them jumped onto the step and left.

Seeing Li Minghe and his grandson walking towards the hatch, Kong Zheng, who was preparing to become an "ice man", came over tactfully.

Seeing Li Jun leave, Li Taigong looked unhappy, but he left tactfully, waving his sleeves without taking a cloud with him.

Mr. Li stood outside the cabin with a gloomy face. He was silent for a moment, then turned and left.

"Somebody come!"

When a guard came closer, Li Taigong ordered in a deep voice: "After entering Laotie City, arrange for the Korean woman and Scholar Yang to live together.

As for the girl Yingge from the Wugulun family, she will be detained separately!"

"Yes!"

Mr. Li sneered and walked towards the shore.

If you can’t be the matchmaker, then be a bad guest who breaks up the couple!
In short, we must not let Yang Yuan be used by the Ugur clan!
……

Most people know the city of Dalian, but may not know Lushun.

However, the history of Lushun is much longer than that of Dalian.

There was once a joke about a taxi driver from Dalian who was telling a guest from Xi'an about the grand event held in Dalian to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the city, and casually asked the guest whether they had ever held similar grand events there.

The guest thought for a moment and replied, "I remember that about two thousand years ago, there was a 'beacon fire trick'."

At that time, Dalian was still an inconspicuous small fishing village.

But Lushun already has a city.

This place belonged to Qingzhou, Shandong during the Shang Dynasty, to Liaodong County during the Warring States Period, and "Dazhu City" was built during the Han Dynasty. Now it belongs to Huacheng County (Jinzhou).

The town is not big, but since it exists, there are still a few wealthy families.

The houses of these wealthy families were naturally requisitioned by the rebels who came across the sea.

Wanyan Darui occupied a large mansion and flew his flag with the words "King Darui" in front of the door.

Li Taigong occupied two adjacent mansions as a place to accommodate the Li family and Wanyan Luti's family.

Wanyan Luti and Kong Yanzhou plundered wealth along the way to Dengzhou, and they encountered almost no decent resistance along the way.

When Li Taigong and his party settled down in Laotie City, they also rushed to Shizikou from Dengzhou as scheduled.

By this time, it was already dusk and there was no time to unload the property on the ship.

So Wanyan Luti left some men to guard the ships, and he and Kong Yanzhou entered the city first.

"King Da Rui" held a grand dinner at the house where he stayed.

This dinner was not only to celebrate their safe arrival in Liaodong, but also to celebrate the reunion of the two armies with Jiang Huazhou.

More importantly, they will determine tonight how to launch military operations after they arrive in Liaodong.

Now the entire rebel army is divided into two major factions.

The Wanyan Dayu faction is the most famous, and the Wanyan Luti faction is the most powerful.

Wanyan Luti took advantage of the Li family's relationship to form an alliance with Jiang Huazhou, the commander-in-chief of the Hesuguan Military Command, and his power increased greatly.

In view of this, Kong Yanzhou completely joined Wanyan Dari's side.

Although Wanyan Dari had suppressed him, Kong Yanzhou was quite dissatisfied with the previous strategy of dividing the troops.

However, Wanyan Luti has the help of the Li family and the joining of Jiang Huazhou. If Kong Yanzhou surrenders to Wanyan Luti, he is destined to become a stepping stone.

What's more, although Wanyan Luti is stronger at the moment, Wanyan Darui has already made a name for himself as the "King Darui".

Next they will recruit soldiers in Liaodong, and it is hard to say who will have the last laugh.

Duke Yansheng Kong Zheng and the Song Dynasty envoy Yang Yuan were not invited to this banquet.

Because this dinner was not about fish and meat, but...Liaodong!
