The matter of Ye Qing's return to Yangzhou has begun to make people talk about it, especially the officials above the Lin'an court, headed by Zhao Ruyu and Liuzheng, these days have been trembling and walking on thin ice, I don't know when, the knife that has been faintly hanging on their necks will fall.

Most people are still discussing in private, this time Ye Qing is coming back, whether he wants to have a showdown with the imperial court, or to argue with the saint, but no matter what, although Ye Qing has not yet arrived in Lin'an, the entire Lin'an has already shown a sense of turmoil and turmoil under the city.

Especially when people knew that Ye Qing went south to Yangzhou this time, although he only brought 3,000 people back, but these 3,000 people, but last year he fought to the death with him in Guanshan, and finally fought a bloody way and escaped from the flower planting army, everyone couldn't help but feel a chilling feeling, and in the panic, people also began to realize that this time Ye Qing was really coming to the real thing, just like when he was in the palace of Xinwang.

Although three thousand people are not much, when such an army is an iron-blooded army that has emerged from the desperate situation of death and life, no one dares to despise this force, although it is not a large number, it is definitely the most loyal and elite army under Ye Qing's command.

After all, such an iron-blooded army that was not very conspicuous before, but only lost about 2,000 people in the first battle of Guanshan, but slaughtered more than 20,000 or even 30,000 soldiers of the Xia Kingdom, which has always been known for its courage and fierceness, who would dare to think that they have the ability to resist their fierce killing?

What's more, there is such a heroic man on the battlefield as Ye Qing, in the battle of Guanshan, a single person can deter the 20,000 army of the Jin State, so that it cannot move forward an inch, and finally has to return in vain, and finally loses the three roads of the Hetao.

Although Ye Qing was ruthless, powerful, and resolute in the past, people still thought that he was still in control, at most he was a tiger in a cage raised by Emperor Gaozong, and he could only scare and scare these courtiers, but he couldn't hurt them at all.

Even if someone was injured under Ye Qing's fangs before, in their opinion, it was more because of Emperor Gaozong's instructions behind his back, and he, Ye Qing, could only be regarded as a quick knife in the hands of Emperor Gaozong at most.

So when people had to look back on Ye Qing's journey all the way after Ye Qing arrived in Yangzhou, they realized that the real purpose of the last Lin'an turmoil was not only for King Xin, but now in retrospect, it was more like it was specially designed for Ye Qing, but in the end, it ...... Emperor Gaozong took a letter to the king, but he couldn't help the fast knife he raised.

Suddenly, after figuring out the various joints in the secretive incident back then, some people couldn't help but feel cloudy in their hearts, or secretly regretted that if Emperor Gaozong had gotten rid of Ye Qing at that time, how good it would have been, maybe there would not be such a heroic Ye Qing who was able to make the court bow by three points like today.

Three days after Ye Qing arrived in Yangzhou, Han Yanxuan led 8,000 people back to Lin'an, and the barracks outside Lin'an City became the camp of the army he led.

Naturally, anyone with a discerning eye can see that at this time, Han Yanxuan suddenly returned to Lin'an with 8,000 people, obviously targeting Ye Qing, the heroic giant in the Northland.

And Han Yanxuan seems to be very jealous of Ye Qing now, especially the three documents of the left minister, the ministry, and the saint, which are like stones sinking into the sea here in Ye Qing, and there is no news, and then Ye Qing appeared behind Huainan East Road, so that Han Yanxuan also immediately realized that Ye Qing had told them with a tough attitude that he would not give up on Huainan East Road.

Yangzhou Ye Qing's attitude was tough, but Han Yanxuan of Lin'an chose to avoid his edge, even if 8,000 people were stationed behind the camp outside the city, but they chose the barracks of the Lin'an Forbidden Army outside the city, and for the empty camp of the Imperial City Division outside the city, Han Yanxuan didn't even put even one person in.

Han Yan avoided his edge, not wanting to fight with him, while Ye Qing of Yangzhou was-for-tat, pressing step by step, just the day after his 8,000 people were just stationed in the forbidden army camp, the 2,000 kinds of Huajia army did not have any warning, let alone notify anyone and the imperial court, like a divine soldier descending from heaven, and stationed in the imperial city division camp overnight.

A series of actions, so that the entire Lin'an City instantly in a kind of stormy shock, between the changes of wind and clouds, the entire Lin'an City sunny sky, but as if pressed on a thick layer of dark clouds, lightning and thunder, the storm that is about to come seems to overturn the entire Lin'an City at any time.

The culprit who made an aggressive and tough posture is still leisurely wandering around Yangzhou City, either going to the government office to take a casual stroll and see what Xiao Zhen and they are doing next, or holding his daughter baby at home without leaving for a moment, hehe silly music.

Ye Gucheng and Ye Wujian went to the academy, and Yan Chengcheng did not build a separate academy for the two brothers and the two future daughters-in-law in the mansion, but chose to go to the academy with other children of the same age.

Therefore, Ye Qing, who is missing two tails by his side on weekdays, has more time to hold his daughter and not let go.

After the gatehouse Liang Xing went to Chang'an with Bai Chun and the Red Mansion, he was replaced by another eunuch pottery, and this pottery was dug out by Tao Qian three feet into the ground, naturally, it used a similar technique to Ye Qing when he coerced him, and then made this eunuch, who was also like a master of the Great Interior, become the gatehouse of Ye Qing, the hero of the North.

An ordinary official's mansion has two eunuch concierges, I have to say that Ye Qing still has some intention of no longer hiding his ambitions, and since returning to Yangzhou, he has acted even more aggressively and toughly, even Yan Qingcheng feels that Ye Qing's temperament has completely changed.

It's just that she doesn't know if this change has changed because of the battle in Guanshan, or because of the situation in the Lin'an court, but no matter what it is, when she looks at Ye Qing now, she will have a feeling of shock, and she can no longer find the feeling of being quite simple and easy-going when she first met Ye Qing, just the relaxed feeling of a guard hired by her Yan Mansion for money.

"Aren't you going back to Lin'an?" Yan Qingcheng walked into the pavilion, and the fan in his hand began to fan Ye Xiaofeng in Ye Qing's arms, and the little guy directly wanted to snatch the fan in her hand.

"There's no hurry, there's still time." Ye Qing saw Yan Tingcheng teasing his baby girl with a fan, so he snatched it and stuffed it directly to Ye Xiaofeng, and then naturally, Yan Tingcheng glanced at Ye Qing with a white look, and bent down to pick up the fan that Ye Xiaofeng couldn't hold and fell directly to the ground.

"Do you really want to form another army in Yangzhou?" Yan Qingcheng rarely asks about Ye Qing on weekdays, but she just puts all her thoughts on this family, even if the situation changes now, she is a little frightened, and she is even more afraid.

But she is not like Zhong Qing and Bai Chun, who can say rebellious words, and even directly provoke her attitude.

She didn't want Ye Qing to embark on the road of infamy through the ages, which would be condemned by the people of the world, but now the situation with the court is already like being incompatible, and for a while, Yan Qingcheng doesn't know what to do.

I don't want to support Ye Qing like Bai Chun and Zhong Qing, but I don't want Ye Qing to be passive all the time under the pressure of the court.

The essence of Yan Chengcheng is more inclined to a businessman, when he was young, he also had lofty ideals and ambitions, and he also hated the Jin people, and also hoped that the imperial court would one day be tough on the Jin people, and then kill the Jin people without leaving a piece of armor, and the momentum was like a rainbow to recover all the lost land, so that all the people of the Great Song Dynasty could raise their eyebrows.

It's just that at that time, she was still very simple and naïve, and she didn't realize that recovering a city and a place was far from being as simple as she imagined, which was mixed with interests and contradictions, the intricacies of the court, the open and secret battles between officials, the distribution and involvement of interest groups, the attitude and pressure of the royal clan, etc., were far less simple than imagined.

The surface of one city and one place was recovered, except for the list of soldiers who could be seen and the territory was included in the surface of the Song Dynasty's territory, she did not delve too much into it, in a seemingly simple war, Ye Qing had to fight not only with the Jin people, but also with her own people behind her.

In the battle of Guanshan, the major forces and interest groups gradually surfaced, either stabbing in the back, such as Zhao Ruyu and Liuzheng, or like Shi Miyuan and Han Cheng watching the drama above the Lin'an court and sowing discord, or like Han Yanxuan, who was even more insidious, he actually wanted to covet Huainan East Road behind his back when Ye Qing was guarding the front line.

Everything that happened from the beginning of the Battle of Guanshan made Yan Chengcheng finally see clearly that war was far from being as simple and sacred as she thought, and war was far from being a battle for soldiers to fight bravely on the battlefield, so that they could win one victory after another, and they could recover one city after another.

The interests of all parties involved behind it, the open and secret struggles of various power groups, and the deceit between colleagues, etc., make the commander of the first army not only have to face the murderous spirit of the enemy, but more importantly, he must always be on guard against his own people behind him who will suddenly use cold arrows in secret.

"There's no way, Huainan East Road needs a large army to defend it, not to mention ......." Ye Qing handed over the noisy Ye Xiaofeng in his arms to You'er, and after watching You'er's back leave, he looked at Yan Chengcheng, who had become more and more amorous in the past few days, and said: "The victims of the four roads in the north, whether it is you or Xiao Zhen, cannot be completely settled, and once these people are full and idle, no one knows what they will do, and there is no one in this world who can be satisfied, so I need to select some people from them to form an army, which can not only relieve the pressure on Huainan East Road, but also maximize their value." ”

Yan Qingcheng looked at Ye Qing silently, now she is becoming more and more stable and mature, and she is becoming more and more like the heroine of a family, sighed slightly, sat down next to Ye Qing's side, and subconsciously grabbed one of Ye Qing's hands and turned it over to look at it.

"After you slept last night, it was really painful to look at the dense scars on your chest and behind you. At first, we said that we came to Yangzhou, I followed over, I didn't think that there would be these messy things behind the scenes, at that time there was some reluctance to leave Lin'an, but after all, it was married, the husband said where to go, how to be a wife. Now it seems that Lin'an may really not be suitable for us, but we didn't find it before, the original Lin'an, which is full of flowers, is so insidious and dirty behind the scenes, full of dangers. Yan Chengcheng continued to look at Ye Qing's hand between her hands.

"What, you regret it now?" Ye Qing in turn grabbed Yan Qingcheng's hand and asked with a smile.

"No, I'm afraid you'll regret it." Yan Chengcheng turned his head sideways, looked at Ye Qing's rare mischievous smile that he hadn't seen for a long time, and after laughing, he continued: "I just feel sorry for you, I think you're too tired." At that time, when I knew that you were in danger, I wanted to die, and I made up my mind at the beginning, as soon as I heard bad news about you Ye Qing, I would immediately go down to accompany you. But then I lay on the bed, holding the scissors and thought again, if I follow you, what will happen to the child? Who will take care of us? Who will let them pass on the Ye family and spread the branches? Bai Chun will definitely go with you, Zhong Qing will not survive, Qingyan is not a mother with children, she doesn't care about the daughters she gave birth to, although You'er and they are suitable to take them, and the two brothers are also close to You'er, but they are still reluctant to ...... children in their hearts. ”

The back of Ye Qing's hand was already wet and cold at this time, and he didn't help Yan Qingcheng wipe away his tears, nor did he make a sound to comfort the beautiful woman who was leaning on his shoulder, but kept looking at the small lake in front of him with a faint smile.

"I'm dead, whether it's you Yan Chengcheng, or Zhong Qing, Bai Chun or Qingyan, I hope you can live well, even if it's for me to be able to look down underground, you have to live well." After a long time, Ye Qingcai sighed and continued: "Actually, I also miss the carefree time, I don't have to think about so many things, beware of so many people who want to kill me, it's good to cheat some silver as wine money from you, Miss Yan, every now and then, no matter how powerful it is, I will seduce and seduce you, the eldest lady, and at that time I thought about it, if your father doesn't agree, I will cook rice with you, and then ...... it when the time comes." ”

Yan Tingcheng laughed and cried while listening, and from time to time pinched his powder fist and slammed down the annoying Ye Qing: "How can I be as stupid as you say, those five hundred taels of silver, you think I am really stupid and willing to be deceived by you......." ”

"So, you fell in love with me at first sight? You didn't think about seducing me right then, did you? Ye Qing asked in surprise.

"Phew, I didn't fall in love with you at first sight. Silly with short hair that is different from ordinary people, like a monk in a temple. At that time, you were just a small forbidden army, although the reputation of the forbidden army was not good, but with the family background of the Yan family at that time, if you really deceived me of five hundred taels of silver, although it was not painful, but I dare to guarantee that you will definitely pay the price, hum. Yan Qingcheng took Ye Qing's hand to help him wipe his tears, as if he had returned to the time when he first met.

"Alas...... But if I deceive you out of five hundred taels of silver, and I don't see mine, I will take advantage. You don't know, at that time, Bai Chun always regarded himself as an eldest sister-in-law like a mother, and I didn't have more than one or two taels ......of silver in my pocket. Ye Qing was still immersed in the past and said happily.

And Miss Yan next to her suddenly raised her head from his shoulder, looked at Ye Qing with an extremely serious expression and asked, "Tell me honestly, did you like Bai Chun first, or did you like me first?" ”

Ye Daguanren's pupils dilated instantly: This is a proposition!

However, Ye Qing instantly regained his composure and said, "Of course it's you." ”

"Is it that when Bai Chun asks you, you will say that of course you are Bai Chun!" Yan Qingcheng pursed his lips disdainfully: "I know that you can't believe it!" Do you dare to say that in front of me and Bai Chun? ”

"Okay, no problem, you call Bai Chun over, and the three of us will confront ...... face to face." Ye Daguan said more and more confidently, anyway, Bai Chun at this time is still in Chang'an, thousands of miles away, Lao Tzu is afraid that she will be a bird.

Lord Ye was still stubbornly insisting on his dignity as a man with his wife, and at this time, because of his two thousand kinds of flower army, which had begun to shake the restless Lin'an City, Han Cheng had to go to the palace to discuss with the queen how to deal with Ye Qing's countermeasures next.

In the Cining Palace, when Han Cheng walked in, he happened to look at the ten-year-old British duke, probably after being reprimanded by the queen Li Fengniang again, and just followed the palace maid to leave.

The British Duke Zhao Kuo was quite polite, even if he had just been reprimanded by his mother Li Fengniang, but when he saw Han Cheng who was walking with him, he was still generous and took the lead in saluting respectfully, and then after Han Cheng returned the salute, he slowly followed the palace maid out of Cining Palace.

Looking at the appearance of the cheeks, there is no trace of the shadow of the British Duke Zhao Kuo, and then look at Li Fengniang sitting at the top, even Han Cheng has to secretly praise in his heart, the British Duke has completely inherited the advantages of Queen Li Fengniang in appearance, and he must be a graceful, handsome and beautiful young man when he becomes an adult.

And when Han Cheng looked at the British Duke Zhao Kuo, Li Fengniang, the head of the Cining Palace, was also quietly looking at Han Cheng's expression, as Zhao Kuo grew up, what she was worried about did not happen to her, but she was always worried about whether this child's appearance could escape the eyes of the old and forbearant Han Cheng.

At this time, looking at Han Cheng's back to Zhao Kuo, showing a hint of an approving smile, Li Fengniang's heart began to slowly relax.

Over the years, for some unknown reasons, she had to keep Zhao Kuo at a distance from the courtiers. But now that Zhao Kuo has entered the age of ten, and although his appearance cannot be said to be fully formed, at least his face can already see some shadows of adulthood.

So when Zhao Kuo's face became more and more shadowy of her Li Fengniang's eyebrows, Li Fengniang, who had been worrying about her heart, also began to gradually try, letting Zhao Kuo slowly contact the courtiers.
