More or less, in fact, Ye Qing still has a trace of expectation and excitement in his heart, and even a little eager to try.

Using a rifle to snipe at a distance was the most effective method he thought of as soon as he figured it out with Qishi Lie Zhining.

First, it is impossible to judge what weapon the two Wanyan brothers died on.

Second, it can also be regarded as a small warning and deterrence to Qishi Lie Zhining, so that he vaguely knows that he can kill him from a long distance in Yanjing, and then leave.

Of course, the whereabouts of the two brothers, Wan Yan Ren and Wan Yan Xian, were naturally revealed to him by Qi Shi Lie Zhining in advance, so he was not afraid, after he killed Wan Yan Ren and Wan Yan Xie, Qi Shi Lie Zhining would immediately expose himself as a murderer and turn against himself.

After all, if this is the case, he will not be able to ask for benefits himself, because the range of people who know about the itinerary of the two brothers Yan Ren and Yan Xian tomorrow is very small.

Coupled with the equally complicated fighting relationship above the Jin Kingdom's court, if Qishi Lie Zhining dared to expose himself, it would be equivalent to selling himself more than half.

This kind of thankless thing, with the city government and prudence of begging Shi Lie Zhining, he will definitely not do it, otherwise, then he will not ask Ye Qing to only kill Yan Xian and Yan Ren, but directly coerce Ye Qing to kill Yan Yunji directly.

In this way, it can be said that he has solved the trouble in his heart once and for all, so that he can have enough time to calmly maintain the orthodoxy of the royal family of the Jin Kingdom, as well as his own loyalty to Wan Yan Yong, right?

Different from the rain two days ago, today's weather is exceptionally good, if you don't touch the rows of weird and nondescript buildings and houses, restaurants, inns, with the breeze blowing, and the scenery of the small river in the city, it makes people feel a little mistaken for being in the water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

One person and one horse, after Xu Qing and Zhao Qi'er went out of the city for more than an hour, as the morning sun gradually rose, after dispelling the fog that had been born because the weather was about to turn cooler, Ye Qing also slowly walked out of the city and walked in the direction of Xishan.

Not long after the back of Ye Qing and his horse disappeared at the city gate, Qishi Lie Zhining and Zhang Xuansu rode in a carriage and slowly walked from the same city gate to the outside of the city.

There were some noisy crowds not far away, so that Qishi Lie Zhining and Zhang Xuansu couldn't help but lift the curtain and look over, but they didn't know if it was dazzled or an illusion, or that flashing figure was Ye Qing?

"Huh? Could it be that I'm dazzled? Qishi Lie Zhining blinked in surprise, and hurriedly looked at Zhang Xuansu next to him.

Zhang Xuansu obviously also noticed the fleeting figure, especially the more unique bun, compared to the clean and neat appearance of others, which tightened the scalp, Ye Qing's bun was always so loose, as if a gust of wind could blow him away in the next moment.

"It seems to be him." Zhang Xuansu's expression was also full of doubts and said.

The two looked out of the curtain again, and this time, although it was just a silhouette flashing, followed by a charming woman and hugged into the room, but Qishi Lie Zhining and Zhang Xuansu were sure that that person was Ye Qing.

"This ...... What's going on? Zhang Xuansu asked with some shock.

Qishi Lie Zhining, who was a little stunned next to him, frowned, and continued to look at the door without saying a word, until the carriage slowly drove out of the city gate, and Qishi Lie Zhining lowered the curtain with a frown, and said in a deep voice: "No matter, we still go to Xishan as planned...... If there had been no change in Xishan today, he would have sent troops directly to the post house to take down all the people of the Song mission. ”

"Are you sure you agreed with Ye Qing that it was today?" Zhang Xuansu asked uncertainly.

Qishi Lie Zhining took a deep breath, looked up at the roof of the car and recalled the open and honest conversation with Ye Qing yesterday, and then sighed: "There will be no mistake, it is sure that it is today, it stands to reason that he should be outside the city now, and he should go out of the city earlier than us." Don't...... Did he have other arrangements, or did he say ....... ”

Halfway through speaking, Qishi Lie Zhining shook his head and began to become silent.

Yesterday, he did make an agreement with Ye Qing to do it today, and Ye Qing also agreed happily, could it be that he was afraid that he would catch his handle, expose him afterwards, and settle his new accounts and old accounts together, so he didn't go in person, but just sent others to Xishan?

"My lord, the lower officials think that no matter whether Ye Qing is playing tricks or what plan he has, since we did see him when we left the city, then...... It's better to send someone to monitor the post house now, lest there be no change in Xishan today, but Ye Qing and others have run away in the city, so we will fall for his plan to repair the plank road and secretly Chen Cang. Zhang Xuansu thought for a moment, and then cautiously suggested to Qishi Lie Zhining.

"Bright plank road, dark Chen Cang!" Qishi Lie Zhining was inexplicably shocked, and instantly thought that it was possible that he had been used by Ye Qing from the beginning?

"Do you mean...... The purpose of his mission this time was just for the relics of Zhao Ji and Zhao Heng's father and son? The so-called reduction and exemption of annual tribute and mining of Wuzhou Black Stone are all disguises? Qishi Lie Zhining thumped off the carriage heavily, and then immediately stopped the carriage, signaling his men to immediately surround the post house, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

With a series of urgent and quick orders from Qishi Lie Zhining, several subordinates who followed the two of them immediately turned their horses' heads and rushed towards Yanjing City, and after the carriage stopped on the side of the road for a while, Qishi Lie Zhining gritted his teeth with a solemn expression, decided to gamble, and then motioned for the carriage to continue to Xishan.

"Could it be...... If this is really the case as the adults guessed, the meaning of our trip to Xishan is probably ...... It's not big, right? Zhang Xuansu was also worried, looking at the dignified and deep expression of Qishi Lie Zhining and said.

Qishi Lie Zhining didn't know if he heard Zhang Xuansui's words, and said as if muttering to himself while shaking his head: "If it was just for the relics of Zhao Ji and Zhao Heng's father and son, Ye Qing should have left Yanjing and secretly fled back to the south." Since he has been staying in Yanjing, and he has been discussing with me for a long time yesterday, the purpose of his mission this time should not be just for those things. What's more, if he deceived me today, how far away Yanjing is from Lin'an, is he really confident that he can escape all the way from my Dajin to Lin'an? ”

"But if you go by water, ......." Zhang Xuansu continued to speculate.

"It's impossible to take the waterway, it's not possible to take the Yuguan from here, even if it's fast, it will take three days, and three days is enough time for my Dajin Iron Rider to search all over my Dajin territory. So unless he can fly, otherwise, no matter whether he takes the water route or the land route, it is impossible for him to escape from my Dajin back to Lin'an calmly. After some analysis, Qi Shi Lie Zhining's tightly knit brows gradually relaxed.

Zhang Xuansu nodded thoughtfully, and then watched a smile gradually appear on the corner of Qishi Lie Zhining's mouth, and swallowed another worry back into his stomach.

In his opinion, this worry was not a worry at all, he wanted to remind Qishi Lie Zhining, would Ye Qing escape from the grassland in a roundabout way? If that's the case, even if it's a big gold iron horse, I'm afraid it won't be able to smoothly enter the grassland to pursue Ye Qing.

So in this way, he could only watch Ye Qing run into the vast grassland, then go all the way west, and finally reach the Xia Kingdom, and then turn south to Lin'an.

"What do you think?" As the carriage stopped at the foot of the West Mountain, with the gaze of Qishi Lie Zhining, he swept over the gorgeous carriages not far away, and when he climbed the stairs, he looked at Zhang Xuansu, who had not spoken again along the way, and asked.

"Nothing." Zhang Xuansu himself shook his head with a somewhat amused smile, but he still opened his mouth and said: "Xiaguan was thinking just now, if Ye Qing didn't go south directly by land or water, but plunged into the grassland from Wuzhou, and then ...... along the grassland. ”

"Haha......." Qishi Lie Zhining didn't wait for Zhang Xuansu to finish speaking, he laughed aloud first, the laughter was full of ease and calmness, and after a while, after arriving at the Mountain Yang Pavilion, he said: "You think really carefully, but I still have to say, you are too worried." ”

"Why?" Zhang Xuansu looked at the expression on Qishi Lie Zhining's face that hurriedly asked me, so he hurriedly continued to ask.

"The north of the Yellow River is too strange for the Song people, let alone the grasslands they have never touched, or even reached. After the sixteen states of Yanyun were lost to the Liao people by Shi Jingjiao at the end of the Tang Dynasty, in addition to the Jingzhaofu Road bordering the Xia Kingdom, when did the Song people go to the grassland after moving the capital to Kaifeng Mansion? What's more, the terrain is complex, the mountain roads are rugged and dangerous, even if it is along the Yellow River to the south, but there is still a moat in the Qinling Mountains in front of him, is it possible that he dares to pass through the Xia Kingdom? Even if he can pass through the Xia Kingdom safely, but how many miles can the vast grassland be? The Song people, who had never reached the steppe, faced the savage and unreasonable Tatar-dominated steppe, fearing that if they did not reach the depths of the steppe, they would be eaten alive by the Tatar tribes. ”

Qishi Lie Zhining blew the mountain breeze that gradually had a hint of coolness, thought for a while and continued: "This is also the reason why Your Majesty agreed to Ye Qing's suggestion to mine Wuzhou Black Stone. As long as Ye Qing is farther away from the south, then the chances of him wanting to return to the south will be slimmer. So, ah....... ”

Qishi Lie Zhining shook his head and did not continue to speak.

But Zhang Xuansu was enough to hear that with the relics of Zhao Ji and Zhao Heng's father and son being sent back to the Song Kingdom, if Wuzhou could really mine a large number of black stones as Ye Qing said, then the matter of the Jin Kingdom reducing the annual tribute was not unacceptable.

But once the imperial court agrees to reduce or reduce the annual tribute of the Song people, then I am afraid it means that the Jin court is very likely not to let Ye Qing, the Song people who sent an envoy to the Jin State and reached a number of important agreements, return to Lin'an like a hero.

After all, the matter of growing other people's ambition and destroying their own prestige, the Jin people had already miscalculated on Wei Qi once, and they didn't want to do the same again.

(ps: I saw that there was finally a comment in the book review area, and I stayed up late to catch a chapter as a reward, haha...... Well, it's okay to make up for the countless chapters that I owe before. Anyway, if I see a book review in the book review area in the future, if I am in good shape, I will try to update a chapter in the morning. ）
