When Ye Qing appeared at the door of the tavern again, it was when Temujin and the others came out of the tavern, looking at Ye Qing standing at the door, Temujin didn't care, and the defenders of the Liao people looked at him as if they were about to breathe fire.

They didn't know when Ye Qing had fallen out of their sight and reappeared at the door of the tavern.

There was no defensive line in the entire city of Hara that was worth looking at and studying, and with the tattered city walls and two lonely beacon towers on the east and west, the entire city's defenses were almost complete.

Returning to the camp under the protection of the Xia people, Ye Qing and the others slept very soundly all night because of the surveillance of the Liao people, and the defending generals of the Liao people were indeed tossed lightly this night.

Because of the entrustment of the king of the Southern Courtyard in the letter, he did not dare to be careless about the troops of the Jin, Song, and Tatars, so this night, not only to monitor the more than 10,000 cavalry outside, but also to guard against the hundreds of people inside, who would suddenly join forces with the cavalry outside in the middle of the night to attack the city.

After all, the tattered and breach-filled city wall itself could not prevent the sprint of the war horses, and similarly, because there were no moats and other defensive facilities, the entire defense line of Hara City was almost completely exposed under the noses of the Jin, Song, and Tatars.

Throughout the night, even if I took an occasional nap, there would be a scene in my dream that the city was broken, or I was arrested in my sleep, so as the sky began to shine, the Liao defenders could finally breathe a long sigh of relief.

In June of the first year of Shaoxi, the first rays of sunlight in the morning sprinkled in the palace of Yanjing, the capital of the Jin Kingdom, shining on the whole palace full of vitality.

For nearly a month, he would basically spend every night in the palace where Concubine Li Shi'er lived, but even so, Li Shi'er's charming body never gave him the slightest surprise.

And now, the queen Pucha, Ziming's wife Lin, and Zhaoyi Jiagu have all given birth to children for him Wanyan Jing, but Li Shi'er, the concubine under this queen, is still unmoved.

In this way, he had to occupy a place in the harem for his favorite concubine, so that he would not be bullied by the queen and the daughters of the two important ministers of the court, the Jiagu clan and the Lin clan, and continued to work on Li Shi'er's body day and night, hoping to see the fruits of his labor one day.

The eunuch Liang Dao stood aside with his head down, Wan Yanjing leaned over and stroked Li Shi'er, who was still lying on the bed, exposing his snow-white flat lower abdomen, looking at Li Shi'er's satisfied and gentle smile, and said softly: "I have already passed you a breakfast ......." ”

"Is there something wrong with the saint?" Li Shi'er was also stretching her waist on the bed, and her fair figure was bumpy and convex, and she instantly became full of charming temptation, and the quilt that was lightly covered on her chest made Li Shi'er's towering chest looming, adding a touch of charm.

couldn't help but reach out and grab a handful, in exchange for Li Shi'er's shy protest, Wan Yanjing withdrew his hand with a smile and said: "Today, the envoys of the Song Court came to visit, and I will come over when I am done." ”

Li Shi'er curled up like a cat, making the curve of his side look more perfect and tempting, nodded obediently, and knelt naked on the bed: The concubine sent the saint.

In the main hall of the Jin Imperial Palace, Li Shen respectfully saluted Wan Yan Jing and said, "Li Shen, the privy deputy envoy of the Privy Council of the Song Dynasty, ....... ”

"Li Shen?" After Yan Jing didn't wait for Li Shen to finish speaking, he interrupted and asked, "Why haven't I heard of it?" ”

"If you go back to the saint, the minister was sent to the Privy Council in May of the first year of Shaoxi." Li Shen kept his head down and said all the time.

Although the Privy Council of the Song Dynasty has always been an assistant to the two ministers and divided the military and political affairs, in fact, in the process, because of the inequality between the civil and military, the Privy Council of the Song Court has been reduced to a means for the two ministers to control the court.

And the privy envoy is now Ye Qing, who is far away in Liao, so this privy deputy envoy is now particularly important in the court.

Silently took the piece presented by Li Shen from the eunuch Chen Xinxi, and just after reading two lines, Yan Jing looked at Li Shen with a frown.

Li Shen, who bowed his head and was silent, seemed to feel Yan Jing's gaze, and was looking at him at the moment, and hurriedly saluted and said: "Playing the Holy Lord, what I Song Ting Zhao Xiang said is true, and what I say is absolutely sincere. ”

Wan Yan Jing looked at Li Shen without saying a word, and then silently turned his gaze to the music again, and after reading it calmly, as if he was afraid of missing something, he watched it again.

And this process, for Li Shen, is extremely difficult, just like putting it on the fire to roast, let him stand on the main hall, but he feels the heat and tension all over his body.

"Take it down......." Wan Yan Jing said in a deep voice.

"Holy Lord, please think twice, Zhao Xiang is definitely not a whim, if he is not sincere, he will not send his ministers to ......." Li Shen was taken aback, he thought that he would be sure of nine out of ten, but he didn't expect this result.

Wan Yan Jing sighed slightly, thought for a while, and said, "I will reply to you in a few days, I need to think about it." ”

After finishing speaking, he ignored Li Shen's request behind him, and walked out of the main hall with a step, but his mind was always on Zhao Ruyu's letter, I have to say that Zhao Ruyu's plan made him excited, but ...... Can it really be implemented perfectly? Will the always thoughtful, cunning and suspicious gentleman really be calculated?

Wan Yan Jing stared blankly at the lake in the same paradise, and couldn't help but fall into contemplation, he was moved by Zhao Ruyu's proposal, but he was worried about Ye Qing's resourcefulness.

At the same time, as the Song people occupied the Beidi Fourth Road, they retreated to the north of the Yellow River with the Jin people, and Fan Bangyan, who served as the governor of Mozhou, appeared in Jinan Mansion under the rule of the Song people at this time.

Fan Ruyu obviously didn't expect that her father would take the initiative to come to see her at this time, and while quickly welcoming her father into the house, she ordered someone to go to the government office to inform her husband that Xin would abandon his illness.

After all, his father was an official in the Jin Kingdom, and his husband was sent by the Song Dynasty, although the two have always disagreed with each other, but today his father is willing to put down his face and take the initiative to come to Jinan Mansion to find them, which makes Fan Ruyu naturally very happy.

Fan Bangyan, who is in his fifties and is about to be sixty years old, rushed over all the way, although Mozhou is not very far from Jinan Mansion, but the rush in the past few days still made him feel a little tired.

Looking up and down at his daughter's mansion, he also recalled the scene he saw after entering Jinan Mansion, which still made Fan Bangyan secretly sigh in his heart, returning to Jinan Mansion in the Song Dynasty, at least on the surface, it looked much better than when he was under the rule of Jinren.

When Xin Qiji heard the news, he threw everything away and hurried to the house, looking at his father-in-law in the pavilion, Xin Qiji was still as nervous as he was back then, and his wife Fan Ruyu smiled and blamed Xin Qiji for not giving his father a gift.

Xin Qiji, who reacted, hurriedly saluted Fan Bangyan, Fan Bangyan was obviously upright, no longer holding the shelf as he had done at the beginning, and accepted Xin Qiji's gift with a smile.

Fan Ruyu looked at the situation in front of her, and her nervous heart was also put down, and after signaling the maid to serve all the tea, she left the hall with great vision, as smart as her, how could she not know that since her father took the initiative to come to Jinan Mansion, there must be something urgent to find Xin Qiji, otherwise, he would not let himself quickly send someone to call Xin Qiji, but just stop himself from calling someone.

As soon as he took the lead in tidying up Xin Qiji's messy study, he heard footsteps outside, as well as the voice of Xin Qiji and his father, Fan Ruyu smiled at the corner of his mouth with satisfaction, looked back at the clean and tidy study behind him, and personally took the tea in the maid's hand and put it on the table, lit the incense and left satisfied.

In the study, Fan Bangyan sighed several times, and only after stopping talking several times did he say: "My father came here today to inform you of something important, and I hope you can be prepared." ”

"It's about the imperial court?" Xin Qiji suppressed the excitement and joy in his heart, in the past few years, with the recovery of Jinan Mansion, he has persuaded his father-in-law more than once, but his father-in-law is determined, and he has decided to continue to be an official in the Jin Kingdom, and he simply takes the loyalty of the two masters as a motto.

Fan Bangyan sighed and nodded, then hesitated for a moment and said, "The Jiedu envoy of the Beidi Five Roads in your mouth is called Ye Qing?" ”

"Yes, it's the surname Ye Mingqing." Xin Qiji hoped that his father-in-law would be able to bring him some good news.

"And I am also a teacher and a friend of the Great Golden Saint?" Fan Bangyan asked again.

"That's true." Xin Qiji confirmed.

Fan Bangyan looked up to the sky and sighed, and said with a somewhat melancholy expression: "Then do you know that your Song court's privy deputy envoy Li Shen entered the capital of my Dajin Kingdom?" ”

"I know something, but I don't know why." Xin Qiji frowned, he didn't know much about some things now, but he could still feel that in recent days, some of the personnel on the Fourth Road of Beidi had been placed in the direction of Xia Guo, so there was a trace of laxity on the side of the Jin people.

"That's it." Fan Bangyan sighed again, and then continued: "My father is in Mozhou, and he has also made friends with a few Song Dynasty businessmen, and now I listen to the news from Yanjing, then Li Shen is planning to secretly join forces with Jin Guo, wanting to be unfavorable to Ye Qing, the truth of this matter cannot be confirmed, but ...... From the perspective of the father, it is not groundless. ”

"Merchant?" Xin Qiji frowned, his father-in-law has a relationship with Song businessmen? And just for the news of the businessman, he was willing to go to Jinan Mansion.

"Yes, it's a businessman, there's no doubt about it. When you captured Jinan Mansion, it was thanks to him that your father was able to cross the Yellow River in one step and not retreat north with others. My father has always owed this merchant a favor, and although the merchant helped me cross the river with his caravan at the beginning, he is still a fair and honest husband, and he is also extremely loyal to ......Song Ting. ”

In Xin Qiji's study, Fan Bangyan recalled the events of the past few years and said how he used the merchant to protect Fan Ruyu in Jinan Mansion, waiting for the arrival of their Song army, and how he crossed the river.

And the merchant surnamed Dong, although he knew that he was an official of the Jin State, still helped him, so when the Song people recovered the entire Beidi Fourth Road, when Shang Jia learned that it was the Song army led by Ye Qing who recovered, he began to praise Ye Qing in front of Fan Bangyan without hesitation, obviously treating Ye Qing as the greatest hero.

In the past few years, he has been doing business in Jinjing, and every time he passes by Mozhou, he will come to see Fan Bangyan, and every time he will bring news about Ye Qing, so Fan Bangyan also knows that this Dong Chao has already regarded Ye Qing, the general of the Song people, as a god.

So this time, Dong Chao passed through Mozhou and told him with a sad and angry face that when Song Ting planned to join forces with the Jin people and secretly murder Ye Qing, a loyal and good general, he actually cried bitterly in the mansion.

Fan Bangyan, who owed favors, asked Dong Chao If he wanted to protect Ye Qing so much, why didn't he tell Ye Qing what you knew from Yanjing?

Dong Chao shook his head helplessly, bluntly saying that he was just a businessman with a humble status, if he said this, I am afraid that no one can be trusted, and he may even miss Lord Ye's major events and life.

Xin Qiji listened to Fan Bangyan's narration, but for some reason, he had a feeling of ridicule, and always felt that after his father-in-law said this, it seemed that their whole family owed someone a favor.

But no matter what, since Father Yue came to tell him, it was obviously to convince himself that the gossip that the merchant heard in Yanjing was true.

"Did the merchant come with you?" Xin Qiji asked.

"No, after all, it was a businessman, running for profit, although he was heartbroken to cry for his father's mansion that day, but on the second day he patted his ass again and went to his business, and the businessman valued profit and parted, alas...... If this person is not so greedy for money and profit, it is possible to become a friend with his father. Fan Bangyan said with emotion.

Xin Qiji had to nod beside him, but he was analyzing in his heart, how much credibility Fan Bangyan's words had, was it true, or was this a suspicious plan by the Jin people for other things? Should I discuss it with Li Heng, now that Jin Ren and Zhao Ruyu are secretly making small moves, is this move to commit the fourth road in the north again, or is it really for Ye Qing.

And now Dong Chao, after coming out of Mozhou, he left all the caravans, only brought two capable subordinates, and couldn't wait to fly to Hetao Third Road, and quickly told Yu Yunwen in detail what he knew from Yanjing.

Ye Qing is now in the Liao Kingdom, if he returns triumphantly, he will inevitably pass through the place of Hetao Third Road again, and if the Jin people and Zhao Ruyu really plan to ambush Ye Qing secretly, then the junction of Jin, Xia, and Song must be the most ideal ambush place, and they can even blame each other to the Xia people, who don't know, after the matter is completed.

So Dong Chao had to go to Bofan Bangyan's sympathy, and then buy time for himself, go to Jingzhaofu Road in person, and tell Yu Yunwen the details.
