A Romantic Story of a Girl from the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 120 Death of Peng Shuanglin (1)

After Yan Dan returned, he didn't mention anything and didn't ask much about Shimi's itinerary. He was waiting for an opportunity, waiting for the best time to meet Peng Shuanglin. He wanted to dig out the news about the Pisces Jade Pendant from this person. , Now Yan Dan's mind is filled with this treasure. He is convinced that if he has this treasure, he will be able to revive the flagging Yan Kingdom!

Tracking Shimi has become something he must do every day. He has to constantly find out her daily itinerary and route. She will occasionally go to see Li Mu, and sometimes she will take him with her at noon or at sunrise. I went to meet Peng Shuanglin with some food. Yan Dan had never entered that dilapidated house, because Peng Shuanglin sometimes went to the market to set up a stall to tell fortunes, and sometimes he stayed in the dilapidated house all day long, unable to leave the door or step forward.

As Yan Dan expected, it was easier than he thought to drive a wedge between Zhao Yan and Li Mu. Zhao Yan was angry that Li Mu had an affair with Shi Mi Zang, so he went to the king to ask for help, saying that the Yanmen Xiongnu often harassed Li Mu. He shouldn't come back every three days. He should stay there for a long time to make the Huns afraid. In this way, Li Mu was transferred to Yanmen and would not be able to come back for a while.

Li Mu was naturally reluctant to let go of Shimi, but when the country was in danger, how could it be the time when the love between children lasted forever? He also knew that this trip to the frontier would probably take half a year before returning. In these six months, too many things could change, and he wouldn't be able to see her for half a year... half a year.

The order was issued so abruptly that Li Mu didn't even have time to say goodbye to Shimiya properly before leaving.

Kong Liu was full of regrets and could only look at Handan City. The people in Handan City were getting further and further away from him.

The opportunity finally came to Yan Dan, and without Li Mu's interruption, Zhao Yan seemed to be preoccupied with important matters recently and had no time to spare. Every time he came to look for Shimi, he could not say a few words before being urged by the accompanying eunuchs and had to rush back to the palace.

On that day, the weather was sunny, and the autumn blew away the red maples, turning the creek into the color of sunset. On this day, Shimiya went to the teahouse to help, and she lived a life as before, going there to play the piano.

It has been several months since Yingzheng broke his promise, but he still has to look forward to the future. Although he doesn't know whether the end of the road will be bright or not, fortunately, the important people are around him. This is Shikiya's only comfort.

Yan Dan knew about Shimi's daily schedule and knew that if she went to the teahouse, she would be there all morning. After lunch, she would bring a basket to Peng Shuanglin to bring food to Peng Shuanglin.

On this day, which seemed to be an ordinary day, Peng Shuanglin did not expect that crisis would come just like this.

He did not go out today, but stayed in this shabby room and read. A few days ago, he went to the market to set up a fortune-telling stall. After earning a few dollars, he bought some turbid wine. Reading while drinking has become his favorite thing to do. .

The courtyard is overgrown with weeds and the dilapidated house is not sheltered from wind and rain, but it doesn't matter. Peng Shuanglin likes reading and these ancient books. He is hungry and thirsty and is not disturbed by the outside world at all.

But before noon, someone broke into his shabby house. The person who entered was not Shimi, but Yan Dan.

Peng Shuanglin, who was kneeling in front of the desk, felt surprised for a second, but soon regained his composure. He only glanced at Yan Dan and knew that this person had bad intentions and was probably here for Shimi's matter.

"The prince of Yan State came to visit his humble residence, and he was greeted from afar."

Peng Shuanglin said this, but he did not stand up to salute, and continued to drink by himself.

Yan Dan did not come here with friendly intentions today. The evil look on his face had betrayed him. The gentle and jade-like young master in the past had long since disappeared.

Yan Dan entered the room without exchanging greetings, but kept looking at the surrounding environment.

This dilapidated house is indeed dilapidated. It can be described as a house with bare walls. The furnishings in the house were all at a glance, and nothing valuable could be found. The table, wine glasses, candlesticks were broken, and the tattered quilt thrown aside was even more tattered.

There is only one thing, which is new, which is an inkstone placed on the desk. A writing brush is new. It can be seen that this is something Peng Shuanglin uses every day, but he keeps it well. This was Shimi's first money he earned and bought it for him. At the beginning, Peng Shuanglin didn't want anything to eat, he just wanted a set of pen and ink for smooth writing.

There was another thing that shocked Yan Dan. This impoverished home was lined with countless bamboo slips covering three walls! They are stacked neatly and directly touch the roof. It is really spectacular!

Peng Shuanglin didn't say anything when he saw him, but stared at the bamboo slips and said with a smile

"Do you know what is the most valuable thing among cultural relics?"

Yan Dan didn't know what he meant and remained silent.

"Writing, bronze, jade, gold and jewelry are valuable, but the bamboo slips with written records are priceless treasures. They recorded the social outlook of the time, the laws and politics of the time, and conveyed ideas that were difficult to preserve. Because of writing, it is possible to So that civilization will never be cut off and spread through the ages. I like reading books the most. Being able to witness these ancient books with my own eyes will make me die without regrets..."

"Do you have a Pisces jade pendant?"

Yan Dan did not listen carefully to Peng Shuanglin's words, but went straight to the point without beating around the bush.

Peng Shuanglin was stunned, put down his wine glass, and said with a smile

"What is this? A jade pendant? If I am so poor, how can I find a jade pendant? If I did, I would have pawned it for wine."

Yan Dan became anxious when he saw his nonsense.

"Don't be careless about me. I heard the conversation between you and Shiya earlier, and you clearly mentioned the Pisces Jade Pendant! I know the power of that thing! If I have him, I will definitely be able to restore the Yan Kingdom to its former strength! You put it Where is it?!”

Peng Shuanglin was neither impatient nor impatient, and sneered.

"There is no Pisces jade pendant. If you want something valuable from my house, there are a few fresh eggs in the wine jar behind the house. If you want it, take it too!"

These words made Yan Dan anxious! He saw that he didn't have much time, but the old guy in front of him was tight-lipped and didn't mention the Pisces Jade Pendant at all. Yan Dan was so angry that he mentioned Peng Shuanglin and asked fiercely again

"You have the Pisces Jade Pendant, right? This ancient artifact has the ability to live forever. What do you, an old man, want to do with immortality?! Give it to me, I need it to restore my country!!"

Yan Dan held on to Peng Shuanglin's collar, and he was so thin that he was reduced to a handful of dry firewood. Yan Dan easily picked up Peng Shuanglin, but Peng Shuanglin was not angry either. He held on to his broken eye, and then said

"The situation in the Yan Kingdom is over. No one but you, the prince, can fight against it. Do you understand? Complying with the destiny is the right path!"

After Yan Dan heard this, he knocked him to the ground and he showed his true face. Seeing that his face was hateful, Peng Shuanglin said again

"You are indeed as written in the historical data. You are conceited, do not listen to persuasion, and are irritable and insist on your own way."

Yan Dan was so angry that he punched Peng Shuanglin twice in the face, causing his nose to bleed and both of his lenses to break!

But he still didn't beg for mercy, he gritted his teeth and laughed.

"I have told Shimiya a long time ago that I want her to stay away from you. I hope she can see your true face one day."
