Text Chapter 112 Born Out of Thin Air
Liu Qingyan saw that Li Qingzhao didn't speak, so she had to stand there and continue to stare at Ye Qing angrily, she had already learned Ye Qing's decisiveness last time, but this time she still underestimated Ye Qing's ruthlessness.
"Red lotus, help the remnant jade to heal." Li Qing looked at the calf of the remnant jade, and gradually a crimson stained the white tulle skirt, frowned again, and said coldly.
Ye Qing was still holding a bow and crossbow on the table, and the small bow and crossbow with a cold light was no longer to be underestimated in the eyes of Li Qingzhao and Liu Qingyan.
With a smile, he glanced at Liu Qingyan, who was glaring at him angrily, and continued to say lightly: "I came here this time, I was sincere, and I wanted to be open and honest with the layman, but the layman gave him a big banquet. Although the ambush on all sides is good, and Xiang Zhuang's sword dance is also emotional, but the situation is different, but the ending is the same. Before the overlord of Chu killed Wujiang, in addition to the guilt of seeing Jiangdong's father again, he also knew that although Jiangdong's disciples were here now, he was willing to make a comeback with the king. So why bother to force the next little forbidden army? ”
Ye Qing now feels that it is difficult to explain clearly about Li Qingzhao, with both a sense of disappointment and a sense of contradiction in reason.
Just like the worship and pursuit of stars by later generations, the perfect roles and touching songs performed by stars resonated, and then the idolatry that appeared, and then the idol image was shattered.
Of course, Ye Qing also knows that no one is perfect, and no matter how perfect the poetry is, it is like a character performed in later generations who can move people's hearts at a glance, but it is just a one-sided, which does not mean that her whole person is a flawless saint.
It's just that this time, Li Qingzhao really forced Ye Qing to be anxious, from the moment he entered the door, Ye Qing felt that something was wrong, and after sitting down, all the steps, words, music, and dances were of a threatening nature, and a completely Hongmen banquet was presented in front of Ye Qing's eyes, which also aroused Ye Qing's dissatisfaction from the beginning.
"What was your purpose in killing those two envoys? In order to get promoted and make a fortune, are you really forced to be helpless? Or is it anti-gold? Or is there some other secret that cannot be hidden? Li Qingzhao calmed the unhappiness in his heart, looked at Ye Qing and asked coldly.
Similarly, Li Qingzhao didn't want to be a stepping stone for others, and he was also a stepping stone for the deputy commander of the Hukou Yamen like the Imperial City Division, Ye Qing's appearance that night was already strange, which made people have to doubt his true purpose.
Yesterday they met by chance at the West Lake, and when they saw that Ye Qing was just a small forbidden army, a forbidden army guard hired to the Yan family, Li Qingzhao and Liu Qingyan relaxed their vigilance and suspicion of Ye Qing.
Coupled with Ye Qing's remarks about Li Qingzhao and the fact that the Yan family was ambushed by the Jin people, Ye Qing's forced helpless remarks are completely justified, although they are not completely convincing, but at least they will not make people doubt too much.
But who would have thought that on the second day, Ye Qing would be promoted to the deputy commander of the Imperial City Division, so that the situation of the Oblique Wind Drizzle Building, as the only one who knew that the deputy commander of the Imperial City Division had assassinated the golden envoy, was extremely delicate and dangerous after Ye Qing was promoted to the deputy commander.
Because no one knows whether the little forbidden army that assassinated the golden envoy at the beginning will kill a few of their insiders to silence him after becoming the deputy commander of the Imperial City Division, for his own official position and interests, or the interests of the group behind him, so as to keep his secret.
Ye Qing didn't answer Li Qingzhao's question for the first time, but looked at Liu Qingyan, who was still standing on the side, and said with a sneer: "Miss Liu, don't be clever at this time. I know there is an axe man in this room, so I'm waiting for your order to chop me up and feed it to the dogs. But do you think that no matter how good their skills and weapons are, they can be faster than this humble bow and crossbow in my hand? And I can also tell you responsibly, before your sword and axe hand get close to me, you and the layman can be shot by this little crossbow, do you want to try? ”
"You...... Do you really think I'm afraid of your little crossbow? This girl really wants to try ....... Before Liu Qingyan finished speaking, he saw Ye Qing raise his hand, and a cold light flashed against Liu Qingyan's cheek, and then made a bang and nailed it to the red pillar not far away.
"This time it's just a warning, next time you won't lose your crosshairs, when you nail it to the center of your eyebrows, even if Da Luo Jinxian descends to earth, there is nothing you can do, and you can't save a dying person." Ye Qing slowly put his hand on the table again, the small bow and crossbow in his palm was still clenched, but this time the direction was aimed at Li Qingzhao.
Liu Qingyan's little face turned pale, she didn't have time to react between Ye Qing's hand just now, she only felt a strong wind in front of her, and then she heard a bang, and when she looked back, the small cold light had all submerged into the red pillar, leaving only a small black dot on the surface of the pillar.
"If you have something to say, something that can be explained clearly, why do you have to use a knife or a gun, what do you say, Miss Liu, please sit down." Ye Qing pointed to the chair next to Liu Qingyan and motioned for Liu Qingyan to sit down.
Then the old god was there, and he still said with an easy-going and indifferent expression: "The killing envoy is indeed forced to be helpless, just like now, of course, maybe the situation is more serious than it is now." ”
"Are you sure you're not using my slanting wind and drizzle building as a stepping stone for your promotion? Your appearance that night was too strange, wasn't it? Li Qingzhao paused, pondering the authenticity of Ye Qing's words, and then slowly spoke.
"There are a lot of coincidences in the world, as the so-called no coincidence is not a book, that night I really didn't expect that there would be people in the room. If it weren't for my solitary habit, I would even wonder if Miss Liu, who was hiding in the room, would be my accomplice. ”
"Do you have any accomplices?" This time it was Liu Qingyan who asked about it, everything that night was so coincidental, and when I think about it afterwards, I always feel that something is wrong, and I feel that if it is a coincidence, it is completely right.
"No accomplices." Ye Qing said frankly: "I'm afraid that no one else knows about killing Jin Ren except for the people in this room." ”
"Then you are now the deputy commander of the Imperial City Division, who knows if you will kill us to keep your secret, after all, only the dead will keep the secret." Liu Qingyan continued to ask.
"I have no grievances with you and the laymen, so why should I do this? What's more, I really admire the poetry of the layman, and it is not an exaggeration to call the layman the first female lyricist in the ages, the layman has always been to the Great Song Dynasty, hated the Jin people, and advocated the Northern Expedition to resist the Jin poems I have also read in the next, what reason do I have to harm you because of the Jin people? Ye Qing's ears moved, and he said listening to the small noise outside.
As Li Qingzhao waved his hand, the knife and axe hand who was ambushed outside deliberately made a loud noise and began to withdraw slowly, naturally, this was also to tell Ye Qing that he didn't need to be too aggressive.
Li Qingzhao didn't expect Ye Qing's trick to strike first, although he hurt the people in his building, Ye Qing's decisiveness and ruthlessness still left a deep impression on her, and she was even faintly afraid.
"But you don't have the heart to resist Jin and recover the Northland, do you?" Li Qing watched as the bow and crossbow in Ye Qing's hand were put away, the two were empty, and then slowly began to pour himself a drink.
"What to take against gold? Like Zhu Xi, Lu Jiuyuan, Fan Niande and the like? Demagogic people to resist gold, waving their flags and shouting in the rear? Ye Qing drank the wine in the cup, and then said: "Sometimes I doubt that they advocate anti-Jin is really for the Song Dynasty, or is it to gain fame by shouting anti-Jin, is it really not necessary for them to go to the battlefield to fight with the Jin people, they feel that those living lives who die in the battlefield deserve to die?" ”
"You're the heart of a villain......
"Definitely!" Ye Qing interrupted Li Qingzhao's words, and said a little uncontrollably disdainful of the literati in his heart: "War is dead, war is cruel, war is a fertile ground that displaces the people, makes them homeless, and is rich in orphans and widows. It's not that I disagree with the Northern Expedition to resist Jin and regain lost land, it's just that I, the Great Song Dynasty, now do not have the conditions to recover lost land and resist Jin in the Northern Expedition. Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, killed himself in Wujiang, such an invincible person, who pulled out the mountains and covered the world, all know that fortune is irreversible, why do literati think that my Great Song Dynasty can be transferred against the sky? ”
"Then do you know that if my Great Song Dynasty does not regain the lost land one day, the slanting wind and drizzle will increase the number of orphans and widows day after day, and the people of the north are in dire straits, and we are in a corner of peace, can we really enjoy this prosperous world with peace of mind, and the wine and food in front of us?" Liu Qingyan disagreed with Ye Qing's words, and grabbed the words before Li Qingzhao.
Li Qingzhao sighed, in fact, she also knew in her heart that the Northern Expedition to resist gold and regain lost land was like taking your life against the sky, and it was as difficult as grabbing half a breath from God.
"What do you think is the reason why the imperial court can't win gold? When can we ....... Li Qingzhao asked solemnly.
"Yi'an Jushi, you think highly of me, I am just a small forbidden army, the disadvantages of the imperial court and the reason why I can't win the Jin country, it must not be one or two reasons at all. I have heard a saying that the lack of generals in the north and the lack of ministers in the south is the general disadvantage of our Great Song Dynasty, but we can investigate deeply, perhaps only by subverting the court can we defeat the Jin people. But...... Isn't it just to discuss with me the major affairs of my family and country, and whether I am patriotic or not, and whether you mean to harm you? In the end, Ye Qing's words changed, but Li Qingzhao and Liu Qingyan were caught off guard.
The two of them were still thinking about the hidden dangers of the court, as well as Ye Qing's highly generalized words: "There is a lack of generals in the north, and there is a lack of phase in the south", so he jumped out of his mind to the specific things between the three of them.
"Then in your opinion, if my Great Song wants to recover the mountains and rivers, what should I do?" Li Qingzhao also had the stubbornness of a literati, and looked at Ye Qing with his eyes and asked.
Liu Qingyan, who was on the side, also put away his thorns at this moment, like a harmless kitten to humans and animals, nodded his head, and asked with a look of curiosity.
Ye Qing shook his head speechlessly and smiled bitterly, then took a deep breath and said, "Didn't you find out?" ”
"Found what?" Li Qingzhao and Liu Qingyan asked in unison.
"Didn't you find out that the royal family of my Great Song Dynasty was more harmonious, and the courtiers were more partisan? With such a court, do you think you can win the gold country? Ye Qing raised his head and drank it all, spitting out the wine in his mouth.
Then he said with some dejection: "Unless...... Unless my Great Song Dynasty court can produce a famous minister, who can not only win the trust of the royal family, but also decide the party struggle between the courtiers, so that the scattered court can be condensed into a rope by him, in this way, maybe before this famous minister, we may be able to recover some lost ground. This has to be added to the vertical and horizontal techniques of Su Qin and Zhang Yi back then, and all the favorable people at the right time and place are also on the side of my Great Song Dynasty, maybe it will work. ”
