Xin Qiji and Shi Miyuan are not very familiar with each other, not to mention that because the title of Reformer is from Shi Hao's hand, Xin Qiji, who has always been jealous and hateful, did not have much impression of Shi Miyuan even when he was in Lin'an.

Similarly, Shi Miyuan had no impression of Xin Qiji, he was just a lowly reformer, and he had hardly served any important assignments above the court.

It's just that I didn't expect that after this reformed person left Lin'an, he followed Ye Qing is soaring and rising to the top, and in just over ten years, he has now become a pacification envoy all the way, even more powerful than the usual pacification envoy.

Passing through Huainan Road to Jinan Mansion on Shandong East Road, Shi Miyuan was also quite shocked by what he saw and heard on this road, originally thought that everywhere should be ragged, as poor as a flower child, but when he stepped into Shandong East Road, he knew that he had underestimated the rule of the East and West Roads in Shandong over the years.

Although the Yellow River has been flooding for three years, and even now, there are still a large number of fields that cannot be grown for crops, but the peaceful scene in the prefecture capital and county through which it passed is still beyond Shi Miyuan's expectations.

"Xin has seen Master Shi, Lord Shi, please." At the gate of Yongji Mansion, the avant-garde Shaowang of Jinan Mansion, Xin Qiji, who was tall but lean, welcomed Shi Miyuan who stepped out of the carriage with a smile.

Shi Miyuan, who got out of the carriage, looked at the gate of the tall and majestic palace with some surprise, and after hearing that this was the place where he lived in Jinan Mansion during this time, Shi Miyuan's chubby face showed a satisfied smile.

"After the Jin people retreated, this was originally intended to be Lord Ye's mansion, but Lord Ye rarely came here, plus some time ago, the Jin envoys stayed here, so now this place has become the only place in Jinan Mansion that can be used to entertain distinguished guests." Xin Qiji smiled and accompanied Shi Miyuan to the house.

"Shi Mou wants to congratulate Master Xin first, it is said that a month ago, he just ended the war with the Jin Kingdom, so Shi Mou's coming here this time will not affect Lord Xin, right?" Shi Miyuan held up his bigger and bigger belly, and smiled like Maitreya Buddha.

"Master Shi is serious, he is in Jinan Mansion, and it is close to the Yellow River, and the Jin people often make mistakes, even now, Xin does not dare to have the slightest carelessness." Xin Qiji replied with a smile.

I was angry with Yu Yunwen before, and learned that Yu Yunwen had been shining on Han Yanzhou in Lanzhou, and let him wander around in Lanzhou at will, but in matters of government affairs, he never let Han Yanzhou ask, even if he occasionally caught up with Han Yanxuan by his side, Yu Yunwen would pretend not to hear Han Yanxuan's suggestions every time, and had been arranging and handling various government affairs in his own way.

However, in Yu Yunwen's letter to Xin Qiji, he reminded Xin Qiji to pay attention to it, not to despise Shi Miyuan too much, after all, it is a secretary of the ministry, and there are many officials from Huainan Road in Jinan Mansion, be careful that they have already installed their own people in the officialdom, and deliberately provoked and framed Xin Qiji during this time.

After a simple polite greeting, half a cup of tea and a stomach, Shi Miyuan never mentioned the purpose of his trip, but kept playing haha, and sighed again and again that the weather in the north was really cold.

Xin Qiji asked again, and after Shi Miyuan talked about him left and right, he also stopped asking with great interest.

"By the way, Shi heard that...... Ling Taishan is still an official in the Jin Kingdom, but is there such a thing? Shi Miyuan held the teacup and suddenly asked casually.

Xin Qiji smiled in his heart and said secretly: It's finally here.

But fortunately, he had already prepared for this.

What's more, now it's not just Shi Miyuan in front of him who wants to attack him with this matter, but also above the Lin'an court, since the period when the Jin people began to march under the city, there are imperial historians and speech officials almost every day, so as to attack Xin and abandon the disease and pass the gold, etc., and it is recommended to immediately remove the dispatch of the pacification envoy of Jinan Mansion.

Now that Shi Miyuan, who is the secretary of the ministry, has come to Jinan Mansion, Xin Qiji doesn't even have to think about it, he knows very well what Shi Miyuan's intention is to go north to Jinan Mansion this time.

But fortunately, today's Xin Qijian is no longer the Xin Qijian who didn't know how to be flexible and was not good at scheming, not to mention, coupled with the previous communication with Yu Yunwen, plus Ye Qing let him operate in Jinan Mansion for many years, so now in the face of Shi Miyuan's questioning, he is not afraid at all, and he can be completely calm.

"Yes, exactly." Xin Qiji replied with a smile.

Li Lifang of the Criminal Department and Meng Hui of Dali Temple, in the matter that Xin Qiji's father-in-law is the governor of the Jin Kingdom, have never impeached Xin Qiji in the court, so to this day, although the court is full of storms under the attack of the imperial historian, as long as Ye Qing does not nod, then basically in Jinan Mansion, no one can shake the dispatch of Xin Qiji's pacification envoy.

But then again, now Ye Qing is still like a dogskin plaster, stubbornly attached to the Song court, so as a minister above the court to come to Jinan Mansion, Xin Qiji naturally did not dare to be too lazy.

In the eyes of some officials in the north now, Ye Qing doesn't need to take the officials of the imperial court seriously now, and he has to suffer from their cowardice.

Clear-eyed people can't see it now, the entire northern land was recovered by him Ye Qing alone, and the big and small officials were either appointed and sent by him, or they were sent by his confidants, and they had nothing to do with Lin'an, which was far away on the other side of the Yangtze River, so why did he still whisper so much to the officials of the Lin'an court?

Xin Qiji, as a reformed person, was not valued by the Song court in his early years, but now under Ye Qing, he has realized his ideals and ambitions in Jinan Mansion, and the importance of the imperial court in his heart is getting weaker and weaker, but he only wants to manage his own one-third of an acre of land is getting heavier and heavier.

In Xin Qiji's opinion, the reason why he now doesn't take the court seriously from the bottom of his heart is completely because he was influenced by Liu Keshi at the beginning, that thing is simply another Ye Qing, although he doesn't have Ye Qing's ability, but he is definitely as cunning and cunning as Ye Qing.

And at this moment, the cunning and treacherous person in Xin Qiji's eyes, who was anxious like an ant on a hot pot in Xiping Mansion, had just received Ye Qing's order, ordering him to immediately set off from Xiping Mansion to return to Jingzhao Mansion, because Zhao Shikui, the brother of Zhao Shichun, the Duke of Chongguo, was going to come to Chang'an from Lin'an, Ye Qing was not at ease, but he himself was still confronting and fighting with the Jin people on the front line in Yanzhou, and he could not return to Chang'an in person, so he could only send Liu Keshi back to Chang'an immediately.

It's not that Ye Qing doesn't believe in Chongguo Duke Zhao Shichun, but because whether it is Zhao Shichun or Zhao Shikui, after all, it is the royal clan, and suddenly came to Jingzhao Mansion at this delicate moment, Ye Qing had to be completely prepared, so as not to be exploited under his nose.

After all, since he was able to send Zhao Shichun and King Qing, then Shi Miyuan and Han Yanxuan could also have close contacts with other clans, which was not impossible.

And now, Ye Qing counted with his fingers

, can make himself trusted, and can also be able to fight wits and courage with the court in the officialdom, only Liu Keshi is left, as for the others, including Li Heng, maybe they are good at fighting, but if they want to fight with Shi Miyuan and Han Yanxuan, it will not be an opponent at all.

But at this time, in Xiping Mansion, only Liu Keshi was guarding alone, Zhong Silkworm, Tian Lin, and Mo Xiaobao were no longer in the city.

It snowed for several days in a row, and finally stopped on the second day after Mo Xiaobao left Xiping Mansion, Liu Keshi began to continue to pacify and suppress the remnants of the Xia Kingdom in Xiping Mansion, and Mo Xiaobao, who was originally good and only wandered around, has not heard from him for five days.

Like ants on a hot pot, Liu Keshi wanted to send more people to find Mo Xiaobao and others, but he was afraid that with the reduction of troops in the city, the remnants of the Xia Kingdom, who had finally been pacified, would riot and move in Xiping Mansion again.

The world after the snow seems to make people's eyes more distant, but as the sun shines on the ground with a cold wind, the whole world is still like snow.

The shallow layer of snowflakes on the thick snow was blown up by the wind again, and Yelu Yixue finally caught up with Yelu Yue again, but he also knew that the tail of the Mongols behind him was far from being thrown off, and it was estimated that the next two days would be the same, and in no more than two hours, they would inevitably encounter the Mongol cavalry again.

Yelu Yue, who was surrounded by a thick scarf and only had a pair of eyes out, watched Yelu Yixue rush towards her, and the messy snow was instantly sprinkled with bright red.

"Your Highness, the end will be fine. This time the Mongols didn't come back so quickly, and we could finally hurry with peace of mind. Yeruyue gasped, blood flowing through her fingers with a drooping arm, and then slowly falling onto the snow-white snow.

"Let's stop and rest." Yeluyue squinted her eyes, the snow in the sun was particularly dazzling, and similarly, it was also extraordinarily cold, even though she was still wearing a thick fur coat, Yeluyue still felt as if her limbs no longer belonged to her.

"Your Highness......." Yelu Yixue seemed to be tired and had no strength to speak, looked at the soldiers who were still on high alert around him, panted and shook his head: "Your Highness, we can't rest at the moment, we must first climb over the hill in front of us, otherwise, the Mongols will find us soon." ”

Yelu Yue looked down at Yelu Yixue's arm, but in the blink of an eye, the originally snow-white snow under his finger was already bright red at this moment.

"There's no need, we only have more than 1,000 troops left, I'm afraid we won't be able to get out." Yeluyue tore off the scarf covering her cheeks and continued to shout loudly with a haas: "Everyone rest in place and bandage their wounds." ”

"Your Highness......." Yelu Yixue looked at Yelu Yue gratefully, and continued to shake his head and insist: "Your Highness, I promised Lord Ye that I must send you to Xiping Mansion safely, and the last general will never break his word." ”

"General, look at ......."

Just when Yelu Yixue and Yelu Yue were arguing, I saw a general next to him pointing to the white hill in the distance with a nervous expression.

As the general's gaze turned his head, he saw that on the white hill in the distance, a black tide gradually appeared.

"Mongols!" Yeluyue muttered in some despair.
