Lighting the oil lamp in the room, the knock on the door sounded at the right time, and after Ye Qing answered, he saw a woman who looked like a palace maid walking in timidly.

The palace maid sent by Wan Yan Jing had been waiting outside the door for a long time, and when she saw that the room was finally lit up, she timidly walked in with a copper basin.

After helping Ye Qing freshen up and shaving off Ye Qing's beard for many days, the palace maid looked at Ye Qing, who suddenly seemed to be a different person, and couldn't help but look a little stupid.

I thought that this middle-aged man with a full beard would look fierce even after shaving his beard, but when she shaved off the middle-aged man's beard with her own hands, it was like a middle-aged man with a different person in front of her, but he looked so elegant and gentle.

Seeing Ye Qing's eyes looking at her quietly, the palace maid instantly lowered her head, and then nervously hurriedly apologized and ran out of the room.

The corners of Ye Qing's mouth pulled out a smile, and he touched his smooth chin, and it was a little difficult to adapt for a while.

The noise outside became louder and louder, and then Mo Xiaobao walked into Ye Qing's room with Zhong Silkworm, Xu Han, and Jia Shi with a smile on their faces, and the four of them looked at Ye Qing, who had no beard, and instantly felt a little weird, after all, they just took a shower and changed their clothes, and they didn't shave off their beards for most of the year like Ye Qing.

"What's the matter, do I have flowers on my face?" Ye Qing frowned and made a gesture to kick Mo Xiaobao at the front.

Mo Xiaobao avoided without a trace, looked at Ye Qing with a smile, and said, "My lord, I just found out today that adults are so handsome, no wonder the sisters-in-law are ...... to you." ”

Before he finished speaking, Mo Xiaobao didn't dodge Ye Qing's kick this time, he smiled, and then continued: "Jin Guo is going to have a banquet tonight, and it's very lively outside." ”

The implication of Mo Xiaobao's words is that Ye Qing shaved off his beard for most of the year, completely preparing for today's appearance.

Ye Qing didn't bother to pay attention to him, and moved his left shoulder slightly, the pain had been reduced a lot, at least it no longer affected him to do some trivial things in his daily life.

"Is the begging stone martyr gods slave still Wanyan Heda back? How many remnants did they gather? Ye Qing motioned for the four of them to sit down and asked.

"It's back, just when the sun is about to set. There were quite a few people, tens of thousands, and the major battalions outside were already full. Mo Xiaobao replied.

Ye Qing, who was not yet fully accustomed to shaving his beard, unconsciously wanted to stroke the beard on his chin, and only after touching the air did he react again, and then said: "People who are optimistic about us, don't conflict with them, everything next is the most important thing, and you have to work hard these days." ”

"Understood." Zhong Silkworm and the others nodded.

And Ye Qing keenly sensed something from Zhong Silkworm's understanding, frowned and said, "Is it that the Mongols have not retreated, and they are still called Dexing Mansion?" ”

"Well, it's still in Dexing Mansion, Borshu and Muhuali are all there, but they haven't continued to send troops from Mongolia. However, for the time being, it seems that there is no intention of fighting again. Zhong Silkworm replied.

"It's very likely that the drunkard doesn't mean to drink." Stroking his smooth chin, Ye Qing was silent for a while before he said, "Since Temujin is still in Dexing Mansion, he has no intention of attacking us again...... Then it is very likely that it is to stabilize us here, and then free him to do something else. It seems very likely that Temujin intends to trap me here, and then turn back to attack the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. ”

"Danzhou has been taken over by Hengqiao, this is the news that Dong Chao has just arrived. By the way, the Lin'an Imperial Court has really come to the decree and summoned you back to Lin'an. Mo Xiaobao took out several letters and handed them to Ye Qing and said.

The sixteen states of Yanyun, if each checkpoint is guarded by heavy troops, it is impossible to defend it at all, especially with the current strength in Ye Qing's hands, it is completely impossible to put heavy troops in every state fortress.

Therefore, among the sixteen states of Yanyun, Ye Qing only selected Danzhou, Wuzhou and Yunzhou as important fortresses, and Yunzhou was associated with five checkpoints such as Yanmen Pass to the south, so although it seems that there are only three heavily guarded fortresses now, the three can help each other.

Among the three, it is natural that Yu Yunwen, who guards Wuzhou, is in the middle, Hengqiao is in Danzhou in the east, and Meng Gong is in Yunzhou, Yanmen and other areas in the west, so as long as the Mongolians are not pouring out, if they want to take the sixteen states of Yanyun at this time, Ye Qing does not think it is an easy thing.

But it can't be thought that now that the sixteen states of Yanyun will be solid in their hands, they sighed slightly and said: "Take Li An'an from Taiyuan Mansion to Dading Mansion and let him wait for us there." ”

"Li An'an?" The four of them were a little surprised, why did they suddenly remember Li An'an at this time.

Ye Qing nodded definitely: "Yes, just bring him over, if he has been in Taiyuan Mansion, it will always be a hidden danger for Yanmen and Yunzhou, and he must not stay in Taiyuan Mansion all the time." ”

Ye Qing didn't tell Mo Xiaobao that he was awakened by the word Li An'an in his sleep, and since he woke up, he had been weighing the pros and cons of leaving Li An'an in Taiyuan Mansion in his mind, and finally after hesitating again and again, Ye Qing finally decided that it was more appropriate to take Li An'an with him than to stay in Taiyuan Mansion.

After all, this goods had also been secretly connected with the Mongols, and even received the response and support of the Mongols, so at this time, if the Mongols planned to really do something to the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, Li An'an would always be a hidden danger.

Mo Xiaobao nodded in agreement, and then took the lead in walking out of Ye Qing's room to do the dispatch that Ye Qing gave him.

Xu Han only spoke at this time: "My lord, this Emperor of the Jin Kingdom doesn't seem to be very grateful for your life-saving grace, and right...... Admiral felt as if he had something else on his mind. ”

"What's in your mind?" Ye Qing asked disappreciably, but a sinister smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth.

is different from the peace in the past, the smile at this moment, even Zhong Silkworm and Jia Shi feel gloomy in their eyes.

Xu Han thought for a while and continued: "I don't know what it is, but the last general noticed it today, Wan Yan Jing secretly sent several messengers out of the city, and the direction was Dading Mansion, and ...... After the begging stone martyrs returned to Fengzhou with Wan Yan Heda, Wan Yan Jing also gathered the two of them together, set up heavy guards outside, and walked out of the room over there after half an hour. Xu Han was in the room and pointed in the southeast direction.

"Don't pay attention to it, Wan Yan Jing's little bit of caution hasn't changed over the years, so let him be." Ye Qing said with a smile.

Zhong Silkworm smacked Ye Qing's words, and said thoughtfully: "What adults mean is ......." ”

"As long as you talk a lot, this kind of thing can be tacitly understood." Ye Qing said with a smile, while Xu Han and Jia Shi were at a loss, not knowing what kind of dumb riddle Ye Qing and Zhong Silkworm were playing.

In fact, it is very simple, what Ye Qing wants is this effect, after all, if everything is revealed from the enemy's mouth, then the effect is much stronger than revealing it himself, so Ye Qing's news in the Jin Kingdom, once it is revealed to Song Ting by the Jin people, then the meaning will be completely different.

In the last letter, Ye Qing chose Zhao Kuo's will, which was nothing more than because the sixteen states of Yanyun had returned to the Song Dynasty, and he Zhao Kuolong's heart was very happy, and he wanted to reward Ye Qing personally, so he ordered Ye Qing's class to return to the dynasty.

"What did you say?" Zhong Silkworm stretched his neck and asked, Jia Shi and Xu Han's faces were also a gossipy look.

"It's a cliché, call me back to Lin'an to receive the reward." Ye Qing smiled and handed over the will to Jia She.

"Some time ago in Danzhou, didn't you already receive something from the Holy Lord and the Queen Mother? The armor given by the Queen Mother and the robes of the Holy Reward ....... ”

Ye Qing sighed slightly, he actually understood Li Fengniang's mentality very well, after all, her current power in the North Land had already made her feel worried, especially after Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures were taken, it was obvious that Li Fengniang had also begun to suffer from gains and losses.

It's just that now he doesn't have the extra energy to deal with things about Lin'an for the time being, so listening to the knock on the door outside again, Ye Qing's mind was gradually pulled back to reality from Lin'an.

The begging stone lie gods and slaves appeared at the door and invited Ye Qing and the others to attend the dinner specially set up by Yan Jing for Ye Qing.

There is not much luxury, but the scene and majesty of the royal family of the Jin Kingdom have been perfectly displayed in this remote town, even if it is early this morning, Fengzhou has just experienced a war, but for the current Wan Yanjing, it is already a thing of the past, and the next thing is what he values the most.

took off her armor and changed into her regular clothes, Wan Yanjing's originally handsome face looked even more handsome at this time, and the queen Li Shi'er on the side, although she was dissatisfied with Ye Qing, was no longer embarrassed at this moment, and once again restored her dignified and noble state as a queen.

And when Ye Qing walked in, he could still feel a flash of amazement in the eyes of Wan Yan Jing and Li Shi'er, and Ye Qing, who had shaved off his beard, was obviously very different from usual.

Wan Yan Jing felt as if he had returned to the feeling when he first met Ye Qing when he was a teenager, confident, easy-going, and elegant, but there was a calm and unhurried domineering attitude between his gestures.

And Li Shi'er didn't expect that Ye Qing, who had shaved off his beard, would have such a look, although he was not as handsome as Wan Yan Jing, but with a perseverance and domineering that Wan Yan Jing had never had, especially between gestures, in Li Shi'er's eyes, it was like an emperor who was looking down on the world and pointing out the country with a smile, like a spear standing on the battlefield, his feet were full of enemy corpses, a remnant flag fluttered in the wind in the distance, and the spear stood silently in the center. Silently telling the world: who is the real king.

"I'm afraid this isn't a Hongmen banquet, right?" Ye Qing's words interrupted Yan Jing and Li Shi'er's momentary sluggishness, and said with a smile after saluting Yan Jing and Li Shi'er.

"If it's a Hongmen banquet, does Mr. dare to sit down?" Wan Yan Jing asked with a smile.

"If it's really a Hongmen banquet, then you will be a little unkind after Yan Jing, don't forget that I am your savior." Ye Qing looked around, and vaguely felt a trace of seriousness.

"Sir is too worried, if I want to be unfavorable to Sir, I should do it when Mr. is resting." After Yan Jing invited Ye Qing to take a seat, Ye Qing was not polite, and sat directly in the position that should have belonged to the master, and the chair in this position was naturally different from other chairs, obviously a chair that only the emperor enjoyed.

After Yan Jing frowned slightly, Li Shi'er immediately frowned, and was about to step forward to theorize, when he saw the begging stone martyr god slave slowly pull out the waist knife on his waist, and Mo Xiaobao and the others, almost at the same time, pulled out the knife in their waist.

"What do you mean, sir?" Wan Yan Jing stretched out his hand to stop the begging stone lie god slave who was about to ask Ye Qing for his crimes, and his smile gradually turned cold.

"Twelve hours a day, it's not even a day, have you forgotten the deal between us?" Ye Qing sat on the chair generously, looked at Yan Jing and asked lightly.

"I don't know what sir is referring to!" Wan Yan Jing said solemnly.

"Naturally, I bowed down to the Song court and paid tribute, and I will help you quell the rebellion." Ye Qing's tone was full of determination.

"Is it true that Sir is going to humiliate me like this?" Wan Yanjing's eyes also became sharp.

"If you don't agree, I, Ye Qing, will pat my ass and leave immediately. And I believe that with the defeat of your remnants, I am afraid it will be difficult to stop me from leaving, right? Ye Qing played with the wine glass on the table with one hand, and said without caring at all about Yan Jing's increasingly aggressive expression.

Without waiting for Yan Jing to speak, half of the knives that had been drawn from the waists of the begging Shilie gods over there were all drawn out in an instant, and Mo Xiaobao, Zhong Silkworm, and several other guards in the hall also pulled out the knives on their waists at the first time.

In the hall, whether it is the Song people or the Jin people, the only weapon is the knife in the hand, not even a bow and crossbow, so if there is a conflict at this moment, although the Song people are brave, but at this moment, I am afraid that because of the disadvantage in numbers, it is obviously difficult to take advantage.

"What if I don't agree, and don't want my husband to leave?" Wan Yan Jing took a deep breath: "Mr. can open conditions at will, except for this chair, as long as Mr. mentions it, I will not hesitate to agree, even if it is the king and the prime minister, it is okay!" ”

"Then we'll talk about it when you've got it right, and in three days' time, if you can't agree to the deal I negotiated last night, then I'll leave immediately." Ye Qing stood up, looked at Yan Jing calmly and said.

At this time, whether it is Ye Qing or Wan Yan Jing, it is obvious that they can't mix their personal emotions on top of state affairs, even if they are only a short-term teacher-student relationship, but at this moment or earlier, there is not even a scum left that has been crushed by Ye Qing.

Ye Qing is ruthless and ruthless, at least when facing Yan Jing, Ye Qing is as emotionless as a beast, everything is based on Song Ting's interests, or his own interests.

Wan Yanjing's face was expressionless, Ye Qing standing in front of him at the moment was no longer the easy-going Ye Qing in his impression, and now Ye Qing was like a cruel and ruthless wolf, shattering the memories and beauty of his only teenager over and over again.

Li Shi'er was already trembling with anger, she knew better than anyone how much Wan Yan Jing admired and trusted Ye Qing, even if Ye Qing had eaten away so many territories of the Dajin Kingdom, but when Ye Qing saved the couple last night, when Ye Qing returned to Fengzhou with them, even if the two of them had a very naïve fight outside the city, but all this in Wan Yan Jing's opinion, everything was revealed last night, and Ye Qing, who he admired and trusted, would eventually serve under him and become the minister of Wan Yan Jing, the emperor of the Jin Kingdom. is even the only king with a different surname in the Dajin Kingdom.

Ye Qing walked slowly, the begging gods and slaves, Mo Xiaobao, Zhong Silkworm and others slowly put away their knives, Wan Yan Jing looked at Ye Qing's back and walked towards the door, just as Ye Qing passed through everyone and raised his feet to cross the threshold, Wan Yan Jing said behind Ye Qing: "Okay, I promise you, bow down to the Song court, pay tribute every year." ”

Ye Qing raised his head and let out a long sigh, stretched his neck to look up at the starry sky, he knew that from this moment on, he had completely broken with Wan Yan Jing, and he had broken all the beautiful illusions of Wan Yan Jing: perhaps...... People only really grow in the midst of disappointment and frustration.
