Chapter 1050 Conspiracy to jump from the building
Chengyun Palace on Chenyu Island is decorated with lights and is full of joy, especially in the yard where Peng Qingluan lives behind, the words "Happy" are posted everywhere on the mirror, furniture, doors, windows, and doors. Even the maids around Peng Qingluan are all happy. Their ladies are getting married, marrying a prince named Tiedun who returned to China. They are all happy for the ladies.
Tang Jiusheng has been very leisurely these two days. He handed over the wedding to the second island owner Ye Lifeng. Although Ye Lifeng strongly refused and said that the injuries on his face and body had not healed, Tang Jiusheng firmly wanted him to host the wedding. The brothers who were familiar with the information on the island also advised Ye Lifeng. Since the big island owner was in seclusion again, you still have to preside over the big event like a lady’s marriage! You are highly respected, who will not come forward?
Although Peng Qingluan knew that Yelifeng was reluctant to host the wedding, she didn't say anything. At least the harmony on the island must be maintained. If the main island owner was in seclusion and the second island owner did not host the wedding, the fool would also know that there was a rift between the island owners. As for Tang Jiusheng, the task assigned to him by Peng Qingluan was simple, that is, when the two got married, Tang Jiusheng would just say a few words.
In the past two days, Tang Jiusheng and Leng Yantao, the personal servant of former Big Island Master Peng Yunjing, wandered around the island. Yelifeng asked Leng Yantao, "The Big Island Master is in seclusion. Why are you not responsible for his safety and leaving your post without permission?"
Leng Yantao answered Yelifeng in this way, "The Big Island Master has arranged security matters, and he only asked me to accompany Prince Wei. The Island Master said that Prince Wei is a distinguished guest on our island, so he must accompany Prince Wei! You also know that I am the head of the Big Island Master's guard, so I naturally dare not disobey the arrangements of the Big Island Master!"
Yelifeng had nothing to say. He was in awe of the big island owner Peng Yunjing. After all, this island was the property of the Peng family. After Peng Yunjing saved him, he felt his ability and pulled him and Natsuyun Dilong to the ground, becoming the righteous brothers, and asked them to become the second island masters and the third island masters. Later, in order to practice the secret method of Yuanling, the big island masters were in seclusion and handed over the things outside the island completely to Yelifeng.
A few years ago, Yelifeng brazenly led the crowd to attack the official army, intercepted the salary of the officers and soldiers, raised the banner, and used the Chenyu Palace on Chenyu Island as a base to gather a group of pirates, creating a mountain village that was not a copycat, which seemed to be a country in the country. However, after a sudden return to the court, he did not send troops to fight, but only sent troops to the nearby prefectures and counties to symbolize. As expected, the officers and soldiers were defeated by the Chenyu Island water pirates, and since then, no officers and soldiers have come to suppress the bandits.
However, Yelifeng is not a fool. He knew that the official army did not come to fight against the suppression, but it was just because the main forces of the officers and soldiers were all in the south to quell the rebellion and could not make any moves to deal with the Chenyu Island. Once the south was pacified, the officers and soldiers would sooner or later come to the Chenyu Island. Even if the officers and soldiers do not have naval forces, they can still train. It is no problem to exert the strength of the country and wipe out an island. Yelifeng knows this well.
It was because Peng Yunjing was very relieved to hand over all the outside affairs to Yelifeng that he could summon the thieves. Later, Peng Yunjing, who was in seclusion, did not blame him deeply after knowing that Yelifeng had caused a big disaster. He just warned him not to make trouble with the court, and it would be no harm to leave a way out for himself. Yelifeng knew that Peng Yunjing knew that he had ambitions. If he hadn't been given by Peng Yunjing, he might have cut off Peng Yunjing in seclusion.
Yelifeng still left a bottom line for himself. He could move anything on this island, but he would not move Peng Yunjing and his daughter. Peng Yunjing's wife died early, and there was only such a precious girl Peng Qingluan. Peng Yunjing loved her like a bead of palm. Since Peng Qingluan was loved by his elder brother, that was what he loved. Yelifeng knew that Peng Qingluan liked parrots, so he tried to ask people to search for various parrots in other places to suit their preferences.
So even though Yelifeng has gradually taken over most of the management affairs on the island and has a reputation that has vaguely surpassed Peng Yunjing, he still regards himself as the owner of the second island and is unwilling to replace him. Yelifeng believes that his status today is given by Peng Yunjing, and he cannot be ungrateful in life. After all, he has read the book of sages for a few days, and as long as he does not reach the extreme, some things he cannot do.
So when he learned that Peng Yunjing chose Tiedun as his son-in-law, he was extremely depressed. In fact, he had already contacted Ma Qingdong and others secretly. When the conditions were right, if he surrendered, he would give him a big and small official. In recent years, he has been building momentum on Chenyu Island, just to take the opportunity to negotiate conditions with the court and ask for an official to do it. If he can't be an official or a glorious family, what's the point of life?
But Peng Yunjing's choice was like giving him a blow.
Everything he had done before was going to waste. The father and daughter of the Peng family actually chose Tiedun, who was not yet a weathered one. In his eyes, this was a very stupid behavior. It is better to show two than Se San. Can you really expect Tiedun, a naughty child, to take the throne? Your Peng family will become more developed with Tiedun from now on? With a good iron cloth, Ma Qingdong's thighs will not be hugged, but to hug Tiedun's thighs. Are you crazy?
Unfortunately, Yelifeng had calculated and only forgot one thing, that is, before he went to the island, the Peng family was the island owner, and Chenyu Palace had a certain status in the world. However, the Peng family had no interest in being an official, otherwise it would not be difficult to let his descendants become an official with the strength of the Peng family. The Peng family did not like what Yelifeng did now, but now the power was lost, and the Peng family was unable to oppose it, or they were unwilling to turn against it. But tragic that Yelifeng believed that Chenyu Palace could have its current status was created by him.
Many, many years ago, Chenyu Palace was not called Chenyu Palace, but Shangxian Palace. It was a large Taoist temple. The master of the temple, Zhenren Miaoyuan, suddenly one day he didn't want to be a Taoist priest, so he changed Shangxian Palace to Chenyu Palace. Since then, Chenyu Palace has its current prototype. Zhenren Miaoyuan took off his Taoist robe and restored his identity as a descendant of the Modi family, changed Chenyu Palace to a sect and served as the leader of the sect. Later, he accepted a disciple named Peng Guozhong.
Peng Guozhong has good martial arts skills and his family is rich. Later, he took advantage of the sudden return to the country to lack food and salary and invested in buying Shangxian Island from the court. He served as the island owner and changed Shangxian Island to Shenyu Island, which coincided with Shenyu Palace. Peng Guozhong liked beauty and bought some beauties at high prices to raise them in Shenyu Palace, which made it worthy of its name. It was a hundred years ago. Later, the Peng family's industry was slowly passed on to Peng Yunjing.
There is a Yuyue Pavilion next to the Shenyu Palace, which is naturally derived from the meaning of carp leaping on the dragon gate. It was taken by Yelifeng. Yuyue Pavilion is a three-story building with a wooden structure. Due to the terrain, Yuyue Pavilion can overlook half of Shenyu Island, so Yelifeng often comes here to drink in his spare time. After a morning of work, at noon, Yelifeng finally couldn't help but come here to drink again.
The one who drank with Yelifeng today was the three island master Natsuyun Dilong, who had just returned from another place. As soon as Natsuyun Dilong climbed to the island, he learned a news that shocked him, that the eldest lady Peng Qingluan was going to get married, and the person who wanted to get married was the third prince Tiedun who had suddenly returned to the previous third prince. Of course, this news did not spread, and it was only for the middle and above leaders on the island who could tell him that this news was Gan Shiping, who was caught in the water by Yulong Xingkong.
When Natsuyun Dilong heard that Peng Qingluan was going to marry Tieton, he was inevitably worried and hurried to find Yelifeng, the second island master. As a good brother who worshipped the son, after the big island master Peng Yunjing began to practice the secret method of Yuanling, the affairs on the island were handled by the second island master and the third island master. Although the second island master had great power, the third island master was also quite powerful. The sworn brothers could be called mutual trust. Natsuyun Dilong was definitely trusted by Yelifeng.
On the third floor of Yuyue Pavilion, the second island owner Yelifeng and the third island owner Nagao Dilong were half-full of wine. Nagao Dilong frowned his beautiful eyebrows and whispered: "Second brother, you're almost done. You'll drink less bars at noon, and you'll be busy in the afternoon! You're willing to drink, so let's continue to do it in the evening!"
Yelifeng looked at this handsome and always serious brother, and couldn't help but sigh, "Third brother, what's the matter worth my business when you say Qingluan's marriage? I originally had a good situation and told her to make such a fuss, it was all over!" Yelifeng poured another glass of wine into his throat and said helplessly: "I'm not willing to give up! But what can I do? It's not bad to say that we are the island owners, but after all, this island is still the industry of the eldest brother, and we are always outsiders!"
Natsuyun Dilong said with a plain face: "Many industries on the island belong to the eldest brother, but the people who run this island have been you and my brother over the years. Apart from those old people, many newcomers have never met the owner of the island. Besides, we are sworn brothers, ours, which is ours. Qingluan, a girl's family, always wants to get married. The married woman and the water splashed out of it have nothing to do with this island. Why do you care about her?"
Yelifeng raised his head and looked at the ceiling of the roof and said sadly: "But Qingluan said that she wanted to give this Shenyu Island to Tie Dun as a dowry! She wanted to turn these thousands of brothers into Tie Dun's private army and become the direct descendant of the new king! What can I do? Turning against her? That would be a pity for my elder brother's loyalty! But I am unwilling to be ruined by the situation that has been created now!"
Nanyun Dilong was silent for a while, and suddenly smiled and said, "Second brother, think about it, he never comes out. I've been there all these years.
How many times have we met him? Even if you say that the industry belongs to him, we are always in business management. Do we have no right to speak? Qingluan has just been hiding in the back house to practice martial arts, occasionally going out to stroll outside the island. What kind of master can she be? If you and I don’t agree with her to use Chenyu Island as a dowry, what can she do? If she only has gold and silver, just give it to her!"
Hearing Nanyun Dilong say this, Yelifeng's face eased slightly, but he still said in a turmoil: "But if this is the case, wouldn't outsiders think that we bullied the eldest brother's daughter? Third brother, the blame is too heavy! I can't help but feel a little overwhelmed! Look at my body and the injuries on my face, all of which were caused by Tang Jiusheng, Tie Dun, that kid is not easy to mess with, and his subordinates are not easy to mess with!"
Nanyun Dilong poured a glass of wine himself, picked it up and took a sip, and said slowly: "Second brother, you don't want the kindness of a woman! So what if Tang Jiusheng is so powerful? This island is now in our hands, and thousands of brothers are all our people. Can't they turn their elbows outward? Not to mention that it is Tang Jiusheng, so what if it is Tang Shisheng? So what if it is the emperor of the Great Shang Kingdom here? Don't you have to obey our mercy?"
Yelifeng said: "Brother, you can say that, but things are not easy to do! After all, they are all Qingluan's guests, so what can we do to them?"
Nanyun Dilong held the wine glass and turned around in his hand, as if he was leisurely: "Oh, my second brother, have you been in contact with Ma Guoxiang? Now Tiedun and Tang Jiusheng colluded with each other and wanted to rebel and seize the throne of the king. You go and report it. What a good opportunity to enter, it is more real than the opportunity to recruit the court. How could you not seize such an opportunity? Such an opportunity can never be encountered several times in your life. It is hard to meet. Second brother, you have to seize it!"
Yelifeng shook his head, "Third brother, the problem is here. If I go to report to Ma Guo Prime Minister, then the eldest brother and Qingluan will be finished. I originally thought I would capture Tang Jiusheng first, but I underestimated his strength, but I was beaten by him. Now that Qingluan and the eldest brother know, I will not be able to do anything again! Tang Jiusheng and Tie Dun are of no value in my eyes, but the eldest brother has both life-saving and knowing each other. How can I, how can I bear to betray my eldest brother? Alas!"
Natsuyun Dilong owed his body in the direction of Yelifeng and snorted in his nose, "Second brother, you are usually smart, why are you hesitant when encountering such a big thing? It is said that those who make big things ignore their family, and women are not kind! We are just a few thieves on Chenyu Island. For the court, it is a scabies. If you want to fight, you can attack us. If you don't want to fight, you can also recruit us and do it for a small official, but Tiedun is another matter!"
Seeing that Yelifeng didn't say anything, Nanyun Dilong said again: "Second brother, think about it, will the court recruit Tiedun and tolerate Tiedun? The eldest brother and Qingluan were confused, and they actually got involved with Tiedun and Tang Jiusheng. That was the way to die! I dare to conclude that once the court knew that we were Chenyu Island and Tiedun, they would definitely use troops to Chenyu Island immediately. At that time, even if you have a friendship with Prime Minister Ma, you will not be able to do anything!"
Yelifeng was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and said, "Third brother, if you say this, I will feel even more confused! Then, what should we do? If you ask me to give up the eldest brother, I really can't do it!"
Nanyun Dilong laughed and said, "Second brother, why are you confused? Qingluan and Tieton's marriage is just a joke! We can take this opportunity to capture Tang Jiusheng and Tieton, lock them up in a prison car and send them to Dachang City. Could it be that Tiebu was not happy to see Tieton who was captured? What's more, there is Ma Guo in the capital, and you can't be an official! Big brother? Big brother is committed to death, so you should go with him? Second brother, this time you believe in your brother's judgment. The opportunity must not be missed, and the time will not come again!"
Yelifeng closed his eyes for a while, finally opened his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! As far as you are concerned, we will get them drunk at the wedding banquet, and then do it again! When Tang Jiusheng and the others landed on the island the day before yesterday, I had already given them a craft rice wine and gave them a good foundation. When I had the opportunity, I would move my fingers and put some medicine. It would be as easy as catching them!" Both of them clapped and laughed at each other.
At this moment, a woman's gloomy voice suddenly came from the window on the third floor, "Okay, you two traitors are going to betray the island owner and plot such a dirty thing here!"
When the two of them heard the woman's voice, their faces immediately changed. Yelifeng blurted out and said, "Oh no!"
Chapter completed!
