Ye Qing still likes the rough and uninhibited style of the north, whether it is humanities or architecture, or the city that seems a little dilapidated compared to Lin'an, Ye Qing's eyes are swollen, as if they have an uninhibited atmosphere and arrogance.

In comparison, although Lin'an is exquisite, it seems a little too ...... Graceful and weak?

Ye Qing always believes that the style of the north and south of this era: the north is like a chic and uninhibited rough man, revealing boldness and freedom everywhere. And the south is like the beauty of a small jasper, everywhere you can smell the delicacy of the gentle township, and follow the trend of flowers and snow.

The tall city walls of Lanzhou City are not much better than Xingqing City, and even in the scale of the city, they are much more magnificent than Xingqing City.

A cavalry of 100 people is not exempt from vulgarity, and the poll tax that needs to be paid to enter the city can only be entered after Ye Qing honestly pays it.

Prosperous but not exquisite, revealing a bold and rough city everywhere, which makes people feel refreshed.

Walking on the street, some of them seem to have removed the shackles on their bodies, and the whole person seems to be much more relaxed, unlike in Lin'an, I always feel that I need to wear a layer of etiquette and morality of Confucian scribes in order to walk like a person on the street.

An inn called Fengjie, in the most prosperous area of Lanzhou trade, can be described as a landmark, the two-story inn inside and outside as if it has just been renovated, everywhere exudes a comfortable feeling.

As Ye Qing and the others had just settled down in the inn, the shopkeeper ran over quickly, looked at the old Liu Tou, whose face was dark and shiny, and his expression was still a little angry, and said in a low voice: "Something happened, Han Yanxuan secretly entered Lanzhou." ”

"Poof......." The tea that Lao Liu Tou had just drunk in his mouth squirted out without any waste, and looked at the shopkeeper's round eyes and said in surprise: "When is it?" How many people did you bring? Have you figured out the purpose of his coming to Lanzhou? ”

"I'm afraid it's Lanzhou that I only arrived in the past two days, we didn't expect it, we only found out last night, if it weren't for that guy's ......." The shopkeeper's hands were spread, and he was a little helpless like Lao Liu Tou explained.

"So where do they live now? You can't just live here, right? Old Liu Tou's heart instantly became vigilant, if Han Yanxuan came to Lanzhou secretly and lived in the Fengjie Inn, would it be that the inn he was responsible for had been exposed?

Or did it happen that Han Yanxuan lived here, and it wasn't as complicated as he thought?

"No, I just found out before you came today, a group of fifty people lived in the Caiyuan Inn far away from here. I think it's too noisy here, so I live closer to the Lanzhou Mansion. The shopkeeper explained like Lao Liu.

Lao Liu, who had just been shocked and straightened up from the chair, said that after a sigh, he slowly leaned back in the chair, thought for a while and asked, "Who have you been in contact with?" ”

"No, everything is normal." The shopkeeper said, but he seemed to be afraid that he couldn't figure it out, so he finally added: "We have few people, and we are busy with our own affairs on weekdays, and we are not as busy as Zhongwei and Xingqing, who have more people, so maybe Han Yanxuan will secretly contact someone in private, but I don't know." ”

"It's possible." Old Liu Tou said thoughtfully: "Don't pay attention to it for the time being, if we enter the city today, if Han Yanxuan has a heart, he will definitely know." But...... I just don't know if it's coming for us, no, I have to tell Dutou to go quickly. ”

Lao Liu, who had just leaned back in the chair, got up, looked at the staircase, and then threw down the shopkeeper and ran to the guest room on the second floor.

At the other end of Lanzhou City, Han Yanxuan and Zhao Ruyu, the prefect of Chengdu Prefecture, were dressed in Song civilian clothes and dressed as businessmen, looking at Wu Hunt standing in front of them in the hall.

"I just entered the city, and the north gate came in, but I went through the entire Lanzhou city and lived in the southern city, where there are many merchants." As the general of the Han family, Wu Lie has always been Han Yanxuan's most trusted subordinate.

"I don't live in a clean place, but I want to live in Nancheng, where the three sects and nine streams gather, what is Ye Qing's idea?" Zhao Ruyu has a white face and beard, several years older than Han Yanxuan, and his body is slightly fat, and he looks more like a businessman.

Han Yanxuan suddenly laughed without speaking at first, and then slowly spoke: "In Xingqing City's opinion, Ye Qing has offended people a lot, otherwise he wouldn't have run to a crowded place, so cautious, I'm afraid it's also to avoid Xia Ren's eyes." How many people are there in total? ”

"One hundred, the same number as when he first went to the Kingdom of Jin, no more, no less." Wu Lie replied calmly.

"Ye Qing is definitely a talent, this guy really has some real skills, he has gone around in such a big circle, and there has been no accident with any of his subordinates, it's not easy!"

Han Yanxuan praised from the bottom of his heart.

The more such people are, the more they feel that it is worth intersecting with Han Yanxuan, after all, they are all from the military, compared to Shi Miyuan in Lin'an, Han Yanxuan is naturally more pleasing to the eye than Ye Qing.

The reason why he was willing to take Ye Qing as the head of the horse in Dasanguan, in addition to taking into account the overall situation, naturally also had a reason to sincerely admire Ye Qing, of course, in the deepest part of his heart, there was also an important factor that wanted to win over Ye Qing for his Han family.

In charge of the Imperial City Division for more than a year, the Imperial City Division has changed from the original old, weak, sick and disabled to the Hukou Yamen, which is above the Lin'an court, and now has to be valued and feared, and the majesty of the Imperial City Division in the past has gradually reappeared.

And the envoy to the Jin Kingdom, through the grassland, into the Western Xia, etc., also made Ye Qing, the commander of the Imperial City Division, more and more attention-grabbing.

After all, for more than a year, not only did he help the Song court exempt the Jin State from the New Year's coin, but also participated in the struggle between the emperor of the Xia State and the power minister, which finally made the Song Court and the Xia State from the original disregard for each other, to the current relationship between the two countries is quite harmonious.

Of course, no one can deny that when the Xia State sent envoys to the Song court, it was the initiative to hand over an olive branch to ease the relations between the two countries, although it was quite suspected of using the Song court, but it is undeniable that because of the initiative of the Xia people, the Song court was also willing to support the Xia state.

Although Ye Qing is just a specific envoy, he can seek due benefits for the Song court in the tense Xia Kingdom, and he can also retreat with his whole body, and I have to say that compared with the envoys who sent envoys to the Jin State and the Xia Kingdom in the past, after more than half a year, but in the end, Ye Qing is obviously much smarter and more powerful than them.

Such a meritorious man will naturally be jealous and jealous of others, after all, today's Ye Qing used to be like a fish raised by Zhao Gou under the water, but now after transforming into a crocodile, it slowly surfaces, and the pressure brought to people can be imagined.

Of course, there is another reason that can make Han Yanxuan willing to befriend Ye Qing and intentionally win him over, naturally Ye Qing's current identity as Shaoqing of Dali Temple, the commander of the Imperial City Division, and Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple, these two identities are rare and powerful forces for a person who wants to make achievements in the court.

Zhao Ruyu looked at Han Yanxuan, who praised Ye Qing, and said with a smile: "In this way, your secret run to Lanzhou to investigate the city defense of the Xia people in Lanzhou is just a pretense, is this close to Ye Qing true?" ”

"Brother Zhao, who knows me." Han Yanxuan was not polite, and did not hide his inner thoughts, after all, every move in the Great Dispersion Pass was enough for Zhao Ruyu in front of him to see that he was looking forward to Ye Qing, which had already explained his position on Ye Qing's matter.

Looking at Zhao Ruyu, whose face was full of convincing, Han Yanxuan motioned for Wu Hunt to prepare a car to go to the Fengjie Inn, and then continued to Zhao Ruyu: "Han Mou has always been full of admiration for having the will to resist gold, so Ye Qing is naturally no exception, and he is naturally worthy of Han's admiration. ”

"Greeting you at Dasanguan is not enough to express your Han appeasement envoy's admiration, you must be greeted by Lanzhou in order to reflect the sincerity of your Han appeasement envoy, Zhao believed this. But listening to what you said about Ye Qing so well, Zhao was really curious in his heart, and he wanted to hurry up and meet Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple, what did he look like, so that he could make the dignified Han appease the ....... Zhao Ruyu followed Han Yanxuan and kept smiling.

"Then you might as well come with me to see Ye Shaoqing, how about letting go of your stomach tonight and not getting drunk or returning?" Han Yanxuan was in a good mood, looked at Zhao Ruyu and said.

"It's not appropriate, after all, it's the territory of the Xia people, so it's better to be careful." Zhao Ruyu followed downstairs, and said as he walked: "But if Ye Qing really has an appetite for Zhao, it doesn't hurt to drink a few more glasses." ”

Wu Lie, who had already prepared the carriage, said calmly when Han Yanxuan and Zhao Ruyu got into the car: "Lord Zhao can rest assured, the little one withdrew the people at the city gate an hour after Ye Shaoqing entered Lanzhou City. So behind Ye Shaoqing, there is no Xia Ren's eyeliner. Of course, it is not ruled out that Xia Ren's eyeliner entered Lanzhou City one step ahead of Ye Shaoqing. ”

"From Xingqing to Zhongwei and then to Lanzhou, since Ye Qing was able to arrive in Lanzhou calmly along the way, in my opinion, Xia Ren is afraid that he is still busy cleaning up, and Ren Dejing left him his own mess, I am afraid that he doesn't have much heart to stare at Ye Qing. After all, no matter what, this time it was also my Da Song who helped them Xia Guo. Compared with Han Yanlai, Zhao Ruyu is much more optimistic.

Of course, it is not excluded that Han Yanxuan, a military general, didn't think about it so much at all.

After Ye Qing listened to Lao Liu Tou's report, compared to the dignified old Liu Tou, he himself seemed quite relaxed, looking out the window with his chin in his hand and said: "Normal, after all, I have exchanged letters with him a lot these days, no matter what, at least when I was arrested by Ren Dejing, he made a gesture of putting pressure on Xia Ren, or Ren Dejing, so when he appeared in Lanzhou, he must have more kindness, so there is no need to be too nervous." ”

"Then do you want me to send some men to guard against ...... in the dark?" Old Liu Tou still asked a little uneasy.

But before he finished speaking, Ye Qing removed his hand from his chin and said decisively: "No, it's too wrong to do more, it's already in Lanzhou, the dark line of the Imperial City Division, etc., it's best not to surface, so as not to show any feet." ”
