Chapter 482 - Return
From Zhongwei to the north is the Xingqing Mansion of the Xia Kingdom, and from Zhongwei to the south, it is the Lanzhou Mansion that is no worse than the prosperous Xingqing Mansion, and even more prosperous.
And Zhongwei, which is sandwiched between Xingqing Mansion and Lanzhou Mansion, is a place like a small town, and even in an accurate sense, Zhongwei is more like a military town, commerce, and military supply ground, with a lot of people coming and going, but the town is still not big, and it can even be seen at a glance.
The scale of more than 100 people is not at all noticeable to who you are, where you are going, and what you are going to do.
The nature or taste of the town, in Ye Qing's view, is closer to the taste of Lin'an City's big tile, Wulinmen and other commercial gathering places, and the pedestrians who come and go seem to have a hint of power, money and interests.
Outside the town, there are barracks of different sizes and sizes, and these days are also because of Xingqing City, which makes the atmosphere of Zhongwei full of money transactions become a little dignified and tense.
However, it has not been affected too much because of the changes in Xingqing City, the people still should eat and drink, and they are still ruthless when they encounter new business travelers.
Fortunately, after Ye Qing, the one hundred and ten people, entered Zhongwei, there was Wu Yong, a frequent visitor who was very familiar with Xingqing, Zhongwei, Shizuizi, including Lanzhou Mansion, and the innkeeper who lived there, even after seeing Wu Yong, his face was full of joy and excitement as if he had met his relatives.
For everything in front of him, Ye Qing acted as if he hadn't seen it, after all, no matter what, he had to leave a little bit of his own majesty for Wu Yong.
Even if he knew, this place was secretly opened by the Imperial City Division, but Wu Yong personally recommended it as a military judge, and Ye Qing would naturally give him a great degree of freedom when he used it.
And this kind of trust and reassurance obviously made Ye Qing receive a great reward, otherwise, he would not have been able to escape from Xingqing Mansion unharmed so easily.
Although the innkeeper didn't know Ye Qing's identity, he saw that everyone was mainly Ye Qing, even including Wu Yong, and his eyes would follow Ye Qing's every move, as if he was waiting for Ye Qing's order at any time.
Several barracks outside Zhongwei Town, in the two days that Ye Qing and others stayed in Zhongwei, they were constantly withdrawn from the direction of Xingqing Mansion to the camp, obviously this time Xingqing Mansion calmed down, these barracks were all involved in it.
On the night of the second day, Wu Juan finally slowly and leisurely shook to the central defender, and then in the room with Ye Qing, the two talked secretly for more than an hour before Wu Juan came out of Ye Qing's room.
Wu Yong still stayed in Zhongwei, and after the news of Xingqing Mansion passed, there must be other things waiting for the Imperial City Division to continue to do, so when Ye Qing looked at Wu Juan, Wu Juan did not hesitate to make the decision for his younger brother.
When they waited until the fourth day, after learning that Po Li San, Lao Liu Tou, and Xu Qing had already begun to detour through Zhongwei and enter Lanzhou, Ye Qing and others set off from Zhongwei on the fifth day and walked in the direction of Lanzhou Mansion.
Wu Yong received a bullet, which was given to him by Ye Qing personally, as for what the two said, even if it was his brother's military judgment, there was no way to know.
However, Wu Juan knows one thing, that is, in the future, Wu Yong will not only have to deal with the Xia people, but also deal with the Liao people, deal with the people of Princess Chengli, and even include the Shizuizi Ferry.
But he didn't know what the Liao people exchanged for, and Ye Qing didn't tell him, so after he set off from Zhongwei, he was curious to death all the way.
Seeing that Wu Juan couldn't help but want to ask several times, but forcibly held back, Ye Qing on horseback took the hundred people who gathered again behind him, and said lazily: "Ask whatever you want, look at your virtue, and then suffocate you from illness." ”
"I just want to remind the commander, once we enter my Great Song Territory, will Han Yanxuan take credit from you?" Wu Juan asked duplicitously.
"Even if you and I know it, the imperial court will pretend to be ignorant and take the credit for this envoy to Western Xia on Han Yanxuan. As far as I'm concerned, as long as no one takes this opportunity to attack me, I'm especially good at burning incense. Ye Qing held the saddle with both hands, looked up at the sky and said with a painful expression.
"I'm afraid that people who are closer to the Han family above the court, and even officials who want to tie up with the Han family, the upstart of the court, will take the opportunity to ask for credit for Han Yanxuan, so you don't want merit but no fault." Lao Liutou's sheepskin jacket has not been taken off until now, even if his swarthy forehead has been sweating, Lao Liutou has also taken off his two arms, but his body is still wearing a thick one, and in some places there are black and shiny sheepskin jackets.
"Did you borrow this sheepskin jacket? What kind of day is this, you are still wearing it, not afraid of the heat? Wu Juan leaned forward, looked at the old Liu Tou on the other side of Ye Qing and asked.
"You kid knows what you are." Lao Liu Tou was obviously unwilling to explain more on this topic, and replied angrily.
"It depends on what Han Yanxuan thinks about himself, if he takes this great work with peace of mind, then it is better to say something. But if it is...... Once you are polite to me, then it will not be easy to do, which also shows that even Han Yanxuan has begun to guard against the Imperial City Division. Ye Qing ignored the arbitrary judgment and quarreled with Lao Liu Tou, although he was also very curious in his heart, whether Lao Liu Tou's sheepskin jacket had any secrets that could not be said.
Xu Qing was like a roundworm in Ye Qing's stomach, looking up and down at the old Liu Tou beside him, and then his eyes were the kind of meaning that only men would understand: "Old Liu Tou, this sheepskin jacket won't be a token of love between you and which mother-in-law you are on the grassland, right?" I remember, the other day you bragged, the girls on the grassland were spicy and energetic, but you tossed your old bones in bed before you got up. ”
Ye Qing smiled, and the dark complexion of the old Liu Tou couldn't be seen red, and he said badly: "Then did it take three poles to get up, or did it take three poles to get up because of the three poles on the sun?" ”
Old Liu Tou obviously didn't understand Ye Qing's ridicule for the first time, and after a little stunned between his expressions, he realized that Ye Qing was ridiculing him even more, and he was even more bastard.
So with a hint of embarrassment on his dark and shiny cheeks, he snorted coldly, took out of the stirrup with one kick, kicked Xu Qing who was laughing strangely next to him, and then turned the horse's head and ran to the back to talk to the other jailers.
After Wu Juan and Xu Qing watched Lao Liu Tou leave, they laughed even more presumptuously, which naturally attracted the guards behind several people, and they looked at Lao Liu Tou with an even more embarrassed expression.
Old Liu's dark cheeks became more and more embarrassed at this time, but fortunately, after the black and bright expression became serious, he was able to bluff the jailer behind him, so the black-faced old Liu Tou was still able to deter the janitor's curious gaze.
Wu Juan and Xu Qing also stopped teasing Lao Liu, and began to think about what Ye Qing just said, so will Han Yanxuan be polite to Ye Qing?
Ye Qing didn't know if Han Yanxuan would be polite to him, after all, he and Han Yanxuan were not familiar with each other yet, and they knew each other very well.
"What if he's polite?" Wu Juan was the first to ask.
"If you're polite, then we'll have to be more prepared in the future, but ......." Ye Qing scratched his head, he was still a little unaccustomed to no longer tying his dreadlocks, and continued: "But when the time comes, you will have some attention, but it is better to be able to make peace with Han Yanxuan." ”
Wu Juan nodded approvingly, he also understood what Ye Qing meant, after all, after returning to Lin'an, the secret war with the City Boss Division was about to begin.
"That'...... A deal between us and the Liao? In the end, Wu Juan couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart and asked.
"Horses, what else could it be." Ye Qing replied lightly.
Then Xu Qing and Wu Juan gasped, and Xu Qing asked, "Horses? Crossing the Xia Kingdom into the Great Song Dynasty? This...... Is this possible? ”
However, after Xu Qing asked, as if he realized something, he immediately turned his head to look at the martial judge who had suddenly realized, and the martial judge suddenly realized that he was surprised: "I understand, no wonder when Han Daochong talked to me, his face was ugly and the whole family died...... No, his whole family was slaughtered by Ren Lei. ”
"That's natural, Han Daochong, this old treacherous and cunning thing, is like losing a piece of meat, he is very reluctant to watch us befriend the Liao people, and leave him behind. But it's a good thing for us, I can give you all the money you want in the future. Ye Qing looked comfortable, and when he remembered Han Daochong's face when he talked to Han Daochong at the beginning, he felt inexplicably happy in his heart.
"In this way, in the future, not only will the Xia people trade with Wu Yong, but the Liao people will also join in?" Wu Juan continued to ask.
"Not bad." Ye Qing stroked his chin with one hand, and then pondered: "The reason why I contacted the Liao people is because I want to know what the west side of the Liao State is like, is it a small country standing side by side as previously said, or is there a powerful existence that threatens the Liao State at all times, so that the Great Liao can't wait to run east?" ”
"Do you mean, could it be that the west side of Da Liao will be a behemoth, because of their strong westward expedition, so Da Liao has to avoid it and want to return to the east?" This time, it was Xu Qing who asked.
"I don't know, so Wu Yong's contact with the Liao people, in addition to trade, the most important thing is to learn about the further west, the place that we rarely have the opportunity to understand, what kind of existence and scene does it have now?" Ye Qing looked at the martial judge and asked.
"This ...... Isn't it too far away for us, we understand...... And how? ”
"After understanding, what if it is beneficial to our Song Court?" Ye Qing said intently.
