Ye Qing never felt how great his personality was, how noble his character was, especially since he came to this era, when he experienced all kinds of disputes and deceit in the court, whether it was to the saint, the emperor, or the officials, nobles, literati, or ordinary people, servants and servants, in fact, fundamentally speaking, no one is truly great, and it is natural, no one is perfect.

If it was before, he would still think that people only have good and bad sides, but now with the improvement of his status, the increase of responsibility, and the stability of his position, he has to start and continue to do many insincere things, telling all kinds of lies without blushing and heartbeat, as for what is black and what is white, what justice is and what is righteousness, it is completely unclear.

Now he seems to have been soaked in a large dye vat full of colors for too long, so that even he can clearly distinguish which side is his true face.

The righteousness was awe-inspiring to Wang Huai and Qian Xiangzu who stated their Chinese righteousness, but how many of them came from their own hearts? How many of them are because of court disputes? In Ye Qing's heart, the answer had already been blurred at this moment.

Looking at the third aunt's tavern opposite, Ye Qing let out a long breath, and couldn't help but think about how good it would have been if he hadn't entered Zhao Gou's sight at the beginning, then there wouldn't be so much deceit now, and he still needed to wear various masks to walk in front of all kinds of people.

You only need to go to the forbidden army every day to go on errands, see the customs of Lin'an, occasionally visit the West Lake, and then drink in the third aunt's tavern, and when you go home, you have nothing to do to tease Bai Chun, scare and scare the neighbors, thinking that this fake Ye Jiaerlang is a fool.

Although those days may be hard, compared to today's days, they obviously don't know how much better, at least they don't have to go thousands of miles or thousands of miles away every once in a while, let alone pay attention to the threats of conquest on the battlefield, the Jin Kingdom, the Xia Kingdom, or the Tatars.

After all, counting the days with his fingers, even if he didn't interfere in all these things, the Great Song Dynasty would not be destroyed before he died, at most, it was just three or four emperors in his life who were like a marquee in the palace, but what does that have to do with himself?

Bai Chun looked at Ye Qing stupidly looking at the third aunt's tavern across the street, the expression on his face was sometimes gentle like the initial smirk, sometimes his brows were furrowed, and his deep eyes seemed to be full of faint sadness.

The knot is in the human realm, and there is no noise of cars and horses. How can you ask you? The heart is far away from itself. Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely see the South Mountain.

Listening to Tao Yuanming's poems being recited by Ye Qing, Bai Chun on the side couldn't help frowning, just took two steps forward, and then stopped, and then just quietly accompanied Ye Qing to stand on the corner of the street, looking at the third aunt's tavern opposite.

"I now kind of understand why I have more laymen in the Great Song Dynasty, which makes me want to retire and resign and live a life that doesn't care about the world, how carefree it must be." Ye Qing didn't care whether the wooden board behind him was dirty or not, in short, he leaned on it, turned his head to look at Bai Chun and said.

Bai Chun frowned, glanced at Ye Qing, who leaned on the wooden board without knowing that it was dirty, and then said lightly: "Is it ...... What's so difficult about the DPRK and China? ”

After finishing speaking, Bai Chun looked at the intersection of Huifang, Liang Xing sat on the wheel and nodded, and then drove the carriage away.

"Done?" Ye Qing asked without answering Bai Chun's words.

Bai Chun nodded silently, and then said: "There are many henchmen in the Liang Ke family and Wang Huai, even if they didn't support Wang Huai at the palace banquet that day, it was because you caught them off guard, and now some people have begun to contact other officials in secret, planning to jointly play the Holy Shrine to pardon Wang Huai, at least to clear Wang Huai and Liang Ke's family of the crime of communicating with foreign countries." ”

"You said that one day...... I will take you to a place where no one knows, where there are only the two of us, and then there is no war but peace, everyone's face is filled with happy smiles, and the land of China is also a peaceful ....... Ye Qing diverted the topic again.

The white beauty frowned again, only this time, her beautiful eyes were full of worry: "You...... Are you sick? ”

Ye Daguan rolled his eyes, and said unexpectedly: "What, you have medicine?" ”

"How much do you eat?" Seeing that Ye Qing was still able to answer like this, Bai Chun's mood suddenly relaxed, and he pursed his lips and asked with a smile.

"I eat as much as you have."

"I eat as much as you want." Bai Chun replied.

Then Ye Qing sighed again, still leaning on the wooden board and asked, "Thank you for your hard work, if it weren't for me, it wouldn't have affected you." ”

"The world is impermanent, and life is like that. How can everything in the world be enjoyable? To be born is to practice, to live to experience the eight sufferings of life. So, even without the predicament we have today, we will experience other problems that make us frown. Don't you often crusade against those retreating laymen, saying that people are cowards in the world, and because they can't face reality, they choose to escape instead of retreating? Bai Chun raised his delicate chin and said, "Are you planning to go back to Yangzhou?" ”

"Ugh......." Ye Qing sighed helplessly, and then nodded, since he came out of Dali Temple, his mood has been in a low situation, and he looked at Bai Chundao with some self-deprecation: "I think I'm about to become a coward in this world." ”

"When we get back to Yangzhou, everything will be fine, won't it?" Bai Chun was rarely able to ask very gently.

"Forget it, come with me for a drink." Ye Qing looked at the two familiar figures and walked into the third aunt's tavern, and suddenly grabbed Bai Chun's hand on the street and said.

"Hey, in public, you let go." Bai Chun was taken aback, and hurriedly slapped her hand with her other hand, which Ye Qing was holding tightly.

But someone simply ignored it, so he kept holding Bai Chun, whose head was already lowered to the point that he was about to droop to his chest, and walked towards the third aunt's tavern through the royal street.

The third aunt saw that Ye Qing was actually in broad daylight, so she dragged Bai Chun's hand and appeared in the tavern, her mouth opened wide in fright, and the wine bowl in her hand fell to the ground with a bang, and then she came back to her senses.

Hurriedly looked at the few guests around, slapped Ye Qing's hand when he went up, and scolded Ye Qing again and again: "Let go of your hand, you still think that the infamy she carried for you is not enough, what kind of body will you become...... What a ...... without a conscience. ”

"Blame me for me? What do you mean? The third aunt's hand strength was obviously much stronger than Bai Chun's, and Ye Qing, who felt the pain, finally let go of Bai Chun's hand and asked a little suspiciously.

"What do you mean? You're too embarrassed to ask ....... The third aunt glanced at Bai Chun, who signaled to her again and again, and then sighed, and said angrily: "You want to go yourself, ask me how I know." By the way, where are they sitting, go over, the third aunt will bring you wine. ”

As the third aunt's fingers looked, the old Liu Tou and Zhao Qi'er, who had just come in front of them, were looking at him with a smile at this time.

As the third aunt put down the wine bowl, without waiting for Ye Qing to say a few words about her and Lao Liutou, the third aunt glared at Ye Qing and left to continue her work.

"I thought I would have to wait for you for a while, but I didn't expect you to be so fast, why did you bring Bai Chun too." Old Liu asked with a smile.

I haven't seen him for many days, and now Lao Liu Tou and Zhao Qi'er are even darker, it seems that they have been basking in the sun for a long time, otherwise they wouldn't have become like coal.

"I've been waiting across the street for a long time, and I just happened to come over together." Ye Qingxiao looked at Bai Chun, who was a little uncomfortable, and then turned his head to Lao Liu Tou and asked, "What about Li San'er, what's wrong?" ”

"What an errand you handed over to us, Haizhou is now about to become a naval army camp, so Po Li San is reluctant to leave for a while, and he is completely chained there by you." Old Liu Tou said with a smile.

And Zhao Qi'er is still the same, with a gloomy and darkening face, and her triangular eyes are still sinister and vicious.

It seems that he also knows that he is hanging similar, trying not to let his face face face face Bai Chun, looking down at the wine bowl and saying, "What is the matter of letting me come to Lin'an this time?" Some time ago, after the envoys of various countries came to visit, the materials you promised to them were all handed over to them before we came. ”

"Come to think of it, these things can't just come out of us, right?" Ye Qing picked up the wine bowl and touched Lao Liu's head, Bai Chun next to him looked extremely well-behaved at the moment, holding the tea specially made by the third aunt, and was slowly tasting it, and Ye Qing's voice was still in his ear and said: "Now that the court is on the throne with the saint, there will be temporary peace for a while, and Zhao Ruyu and Han Yanxuan are already the same enemy, so I have to temporarily join forces with Shi Miyuan in the court." The city has always had a wide range of money, especially in the future, Huainan East Road and Beidi Fourth Road will also let Shi Miyuan intervene, but you can't watch him make all the money, right? ”

Looking at the sinister in Ye Qing's eyes, Lao Liu Tou involuntarily put down the wine bowl, and Zhao Qi'er involuntarily raised his cruel face, even Bai Chun, who had been listening quietly, was also holding a teacup, and his beautiful eyes looked at Ye Qing without blinking.

"What do you think we can do with him?" Zhao Qi'er and Lao Liu Tou asked in unison.

Since Ye Qing said so, then naturally he would have to secretly live in the dark behind his back a few times, otherwise, Ye Qing would not have gone around in circles with the two of them.

"The flooding of the four roads in the north is non-stop, and now the construction of embankments is still continuing, at least until the spring of next year, it will not stop, so this is also a lot of silver, and the attitude of the imperial court is naturally needless to say, if you can pay less than a penny, you will never give us more than half a penny. And since the embankment is built and the embankment is built, then the various official roads will inevitably be occupied ....... ”

"Are you going to force the city shipping department and the transshipment department to take the waterway?" Zhao Qi'er asked with triangular eyes.

"Yes, that's what it means. After all, if there was a hijacking on the land road, Shi Miyuan would definitely ask me, but if it happened on the waterway...... Shi Miyuan, even if he doubts me, or if he wants to take revenge on the "water bandits", then there is no doubt that he is looking for a needle in a haystack, isn't it? Ye Qingyin said with a smile.

"In short, you just want to get rid of your suspicion in Shi Miyuan's heart, even if you will leave Liaoguo soon after you return to Yangzhou, but you are afraid that he will suspect you, so let us pretend to be water bandits and rob the silver?" Old Liu Tou said calmly.

"Don't say it so ugly, what is robbery, is it called ...... Borrowing, that is, the kind of borrowing that does not repay, alas, yes, it is the anonymous borrowing of Shi Miyuan's silver. Ye Qing said without blushing and without a beat.

And the old Liu Tou and Bai Chun next to him, and even Zhao Qi'er, who has always had a sinister face, all looked at Ye Qing with contempt, this is too insidious, right? The front foot has just formed an alliance with the court, and the back foot has begun to rob the allies of their money behind their backs...... No, anonymously borrow the money of the allies!

Bai Chun said in his heart: Isn't this a bit unauthentic?

Then I heard the old Liu Tou and Zhao Qi'er sneering with a look of contempt just now: "Yes, I like this method." ”
