The autumn wind swept the withered yellow leaves, rubbing the rustling sound on the ground, and the bleak autumn mood made the pedestrians on the streets of Lin'an seem to be in a hurry.

Li Fengniang didn't know if it was intentional, or if she wanted to show something, the meeting with Zhong Qing and Bai Chun was deliberately arranged by her ...... Inside the apricot orchard.

The two women walked in the apricot orchard, looking at the scenery, especially the mulberry trees in the courtyard, and they all had the illusion of returning to their mansion in Lin'an and now Yangzhou.

Ye Qing likes mulberry trees, which was originally a secret that only Bai Chun enjoyed, but with the mansion in Yangzhou, a lot of mulberry trees were also planted, and this secret, which was originally only enjoyed by Bai Chun, was known to Zhong Qing, Yan Qingcheng, Liu Qingyan and others.

And now looking at the apricot orchard where the crown princess invited the two of them to come, which was also full of mulberry trees that Ye Qing liked, Bai Chun's god began to look a little wrong.

Compared with Bai Chunlai, Zhong Qing had already been mentally prepared after meeting Li Fengniang for the first time, but looking at the mulberry trees in the garden, his heart was still shaken, which seemed incredible and unbelievable.

"What's going on?" Bai Chun also looked at the mulberry trees in disbelief, and involuntarily looked at Zhong Qing and asked.

"Someone betrayed him, can't you see it?" In Zhong Qing's tone, there was a rare release of vinegar.

Bai Chun frowned, and the momentum of the wife instantly appeared on his body, after all, she was Ye Qing's sister-in-law at the beginning, and then Ye Qing's wife, so the faint anger like the eldest sister-in-law made Zhong Qing next to him can't help but look sideways, and even began to worry a little about someone in the north.

"You...... Are you alright? Zhong Qing asked cautiously.

"You already knew that, didn't you? This kind of thing...... You...... How can you let him be so nonsense, if there is a ...... You're ....... Bai Chun, who has always been calm and indifferent, spoke in front of Zhong Qing for the first time and said that he was so stuttering and angry.

"I also guessed it after returning to Lin'an not long ago, but because there is no other corroboration, I naturally don't dare to say my guess out of thin air." After stepping into the courtyard, Zhong Qing continued: "Looking at the garden, it should have been a long time, and ...... At that time, I was in Yangzhou, if you talk about it, it should be that you and Allure are not optimistic. ”

Bai Chun was speechless for a moment, originally because he was anxious to see the crown princess, but at this time he had already been replaced by speechlessness and worry.

Speechless because of Zhong Qing's words just now, after all, Zhong Qing was in Yangzhou at that time, and he and Allure were in Lin'an, so in terms of it, it was true that he and Allure were not optimistic about that guy, and let him do such a thing!

While walking, Bai Chun was trying his best to think about the situation when Ye Qing didn't go home when he was in Lin'an, thinking about it, he blamed himself for being too careless with Allure.

"I hope I didn't do anything more out of the ordinary." Bai Chun muttered angrily.

Zhong Qing looked at Bai Chun sideways, naturally knowing what Bai Chun's so-called out-of-character thing was referring to.

Feeling Zhong Qing's surprised and surprised gaze, Bai Chun suddenly stopped, looked at Zhong Qing blankly, and muttered, "Don't tell me, that idiot has done something even more out of the ordinary." ”

Zhong Qing had a wry smile on her cheeks, and said in a somewhat bitter tone: "Once when the crown princess and the British princess Zhao Kuo and the lord of Wen'an County met the queen mother and queen, I happened to be present ....... ”

"How?" Bai Chun nervously grabbed Zhong Qing's hand and asked hurriedly.

Zhong Qing showed an embarrassed expression, and after thinking about it, he still said, "There is always a feeling between the eyebrows...... Seems...... It's a little similar to the lonely city and Wuji, but the children all look similar. ”

Hearing Zhong Qing's words, Bai Chun instantly became a little in a trance, what kind of trouble did that idiot cause them, and didn't they think the family was messy enough!

Li Fengniang, who was originally standing on the high steps and looking at Bai Chun and Zhong Qing condescendingly, didn't know why, after seeing Bai Chun's meaningful eyes looking at her, she was inexplicably a little weak-hearted, and then unconsciously walked down the steps to greet the two girls.

Just when the three girls gathered in the apricot garden and began to discuss what to do next once Zhao Ruyu agreed, far away in the north, which had already entered winter, someone kept sneezing in the Chinese military tent, which attracted Li Zhongfang and Tian Lin next to them, and couldn't help worrying: "My lord, could it be that the north is too cold and cold?" ”

"Probably not." Ye Qing, who sniffed, continued to stare at the map in his hand, and said casually: "It's possible that the lady who is far away in Yangzhou misses me, haven't you sneezed?" ”

"Nope." Tian Lin and Li Zhongfang shook their heads at the same time and said.

"It seems that your mother-in-law doesn't care about you, look at my sneezing, they must be thinking about me at home, bring paper and pen, while there is still time, I want to repair a book to tell my lovesickness." Someone continued to say unconsciously.

In November of the 15th year of Chunxi, a hundred miles away from Jeju, Ye Qing led the two armies of Huaiyang and Gaoyou, which had nearly 30,000 people, and cooperated with the armies of Yu Yunwen and Li San'er, who continued to go north on the east and west flanks, bypassing Pizhou and heading directly at Jeju.

Just like when he was in Tengzhou a month ago, at this moment, after arriving a hundred miles away from Jeju, he can still enter Kaifeng in the west and attack Jinan Mansion in the east.

Because there are garrisons stationed in Tengzhou to contain the relationship between Pizhou, so that today's Ye Qing can be sandwiched between the two cities of Pizhou and Jeju and have nothing to do, but at the same time, he is also forcing Wanyan to defend the road, so he has to start planning, personally leading the army out of Jinan Mansion and going to Jeju to bring the main army to find Ye Qing.

Li Zhongfang and Tian Lin, who are now completely familiar with Ye Qing, are already the elite of the main army of Huainan East Road, and just like Ye Qing's right-hand man in this northern expedition, whether they are attacking the city or trapping the battle, the advantages of the two as martial champions have finally been brought into full play.

Listening to Ye Qingxian showing his wife, who is like a flower in his family, the two are naturally only

Envy, the inferior tea was in his hand, and he watched Ye Qing continue to stare at the map looking for a suitable battlefield.

"My lord, your ladies are so unbeatable in the world, how did you give it in the first place...... What about that? Tian Lin squatted aside, holding the tea and asked.

"Ben is so handsome......." Ye Qing glanced at Tian Lin, and was just halfway through his words when he was interrupted by Li Zhongfang on the side.

"My lord, can you change the reason, this reason is really ...... It's hard for me to convince you. Li Zhongfang also said lightly.

It is rare that the two of them are not in the Chinese military tent, so the three of them don't have to hold a shelf anymore, and face Li Zhixiao and Hong Zun with a cold face.

Without waiting for Ye Qing to refute Li Zhongfang, Jia Shi ran in from outside, looked at the three people in the Chinese military tent with relaxed expressions, and said nervously: "My lord, report urgently, ......." ”

"No, there's no way the Jin people will find us, right?" Tian Lin got up slowly, put down the teacup and asked with a frown.

Jia Shi was stunned for a moment, and instantly realized that it was Tian Lin who misunderstood his performance, so he hurriedly explained: "Lord Yu, it's not the military information from the scouts, but ...... Instead, he received the will of the Holy Lord again and ordered you to return to Lin'an immediately. ”

"So fast?" Li Zhongfang also subconsciously put down the pottery teacup in his hand and asked in disbelief.

It's only been a few days since the first decree arrived, why did the second decree immediately run after their butts, wouldn't the imperial court give them a chance to prepare to retreat?

"Yes, Lord Li and Lord Hong will be coming over soon, and the last general overheard it just now, so I hurriedly came over to play." Jia Shi continued.

Li Zhongfang rolled his eyes helplessly, yes, he had a conversation with Jia Shi again, he was so quick that he was referring to the will of the imperial court, and Jia Shi heard it so quickly in his ears, but he thought it was Li Zhixiao and Hong Zun.

"Okay, I see, you go down, order the scouts to double and probe in this direction." Ye Qing poked Li Zhongfang's waist, the first half of the sentence was for Jia She, and the second half of the sentence was for Li Zhongfang, and the next step of the scout.

"Yes, my lord, I will arrange it at the end." Li Zhongfang's god immediately became extremely serious, and said firmly to Ye Qing.

After Li Zhongfang and Jia Shi walked out of the Chinese military tent, Tian Lin glanced down at the direction of the map that Ye Qing pointed to just now, and then thought for a moment before asking: "My lord, no matter how you choose, the last general will support you." But...... The last general is still worried, if you continue to disobey the will of the Holy Lord, will it make the court angry and endanger your future career? ”

"Back then, Yue Feibing pointed to Kaifeng, and was recovered by the twelve gold medals, although we are not as good as Yue Fei, but now we are about to arrive in Kaifeng, how can we not have two wills, let's go back, wait and see, it is almost winter now, in addition to this battle, we also need to imagine, what should we do in the next battle." Ye Qing said after sighing.

The footsteps outside slowed down under the loud voice of the pro-soldier Jia She, Tian Lin in the tent agreed with Ye Qing's words and nodded, as the so-called soldiers instigated one, they will instigate a nest, from ancient times to the present, no soldier is willing to follow a clumsy, indecisive general to fight.

People who come from military backgrounds don't have so many fancy intestines in their hearts, and they also prefer to follow the generals who are more direct to fight with superb force, vigorous and resolute style, and dare to take responsibility.

Therefore, Ye Qing now is naturally extremely devoted to their straightforward temper, and from time to time he will make a little joke with their generals as he did just now, but once he enters the state of war and siege, Ye Qing's fierce majesty still convinces them.

What's more, up to now, the Huainan East Road army, under the leadership of Ye Qing, has completely suppressed the phenomenon of the military generals' most annoying Wenchen asking the army, and it has also made the Huainan East Road army, which has been based on defense for many years, finally become an offensive-oriented, and can vent their resentment against the Jin people in their hearts.

Coupled with the grievances of never attacking the city and plundering the land for many years, now that they have finally been released, in the face of the always strong Jin people, they have achieved gratifying results in front of them, which naturally makes them more willing to gather under the banner of the Ye Zi of Nanuoda, and feel proud of being a member of the Ye family's army.

"This place...... The radius of nearly 100 miles is open land, which is more suitable for the cavalry of the Jin people, you don't really plan to attract the Jin people here as the main battlefield of our battle, right? Tian Lin glanced at the footsteps outside the tent and the footsteps that had not yet walked in, and hurried to ask again.

"Why not?" Ye Qing raised his head and smiled, and then explained: "Now the Jin people are even more anxious than us, and they can't wait to drive us out of Shandong immediately, so they have to be led by our noses." And now that we have two holy decrees at the bottom, are we still afraid that the third, fourth, and fifth will not succeed? Ye Qing said with a smile, and still didn't reveal the matter of the flower planting army to Tian Lin.

"My lord, if you say something that you don't like, you will be called ......." Tian Lin shrugged his shoulders as Ye Qing did on weekdays, and said with an innocent expression.

"Roll on...... Go as far as you can, go out and inspect the camp quickly, and don't block me here. Ye Qing didn't wait for Tian Lin to finish speaking, so he pushed Tian Lin out.

"My lord, do you know that the last general wants to say that you are now a lice and are not afraid of bites?" Tian Lin said as she ran out of the tent.

So the teacup that flew out of Ye Qing's hand happened to smash on the chest of Li Zhixiao, who was about to come in, after being dodged by Tian Lin, who ran to the door of the Chinese army's tent, and the hot tea instantly made Li Zhixiao scream, and his hands hurriedly slapped the steaming tea and tea foam on his chest.

Tian Lin screamed gloatingly, ignored the next thing in the military tent, spread his legs and ran out.

In the Chinese military tent, Li Zhixiao, who was casually hit by Ye Qing's teacup, had a calm face, and Hong Zun, who was looking at each other, took the lead in saluting Ye Qing, who looked indifferent and only cared about cleaning up the map.

"What is the matter with Lord Li and Lord Hong?" Ye Qingshen was as usual, as if he had just smashed the teacup in Li Zhixiao's arms, and it was not he who threw it.

"Please take a look." Li Zhixiao looked at Ye Qing, who seemed to have nothing to do, took out the holy decree that he was afraid of being soaked when he slapped the tea just now, handed it to Ye Qing and said, "The holy decree will let you return to Lin'an immediately." ”

"Didn't you say what to do with the Huainan East Road army, whether to retreat with the Jin people for a truce, or continue to stay?" Ye Qing motioned for the two of them to sit down and talk, but he, holding the bright yellow holy decree, didn't even bother to open it and take a look.

Seeing Ye Qing's disrespectful appearance of the holy decree, Li Zhixiao's heart at this time was even more angry, if it weren't for Hong Zun next to him, one hand secretly holding his hand, maybe Li Zhixiao would have taken the case and scolded Ye Qing for being a minister.

"Naturally, let you return to Lin'an alone, as for the five-way army on Huainan East Road, it will be led by the last general and Lord Hong. Therefore, please rest assured, Lord Ye, the two of us will definitely not let Jin Rennan take the next step and disturb the peace of the people in the Great Song Dynasty frontier, let alone let the saint worry about the war in the north. "Li Zhixiao is worthy of being a supervisor of the imperial history, and in a few words, he has already made the decision to return to Lin'an for Ye Qing, and at the same time, he did not forget to remind Ye Qing that although the saint is still worried now, if you don't obey the will and return to Lin'an, I am afraid that the saint will not only be worried, but also angry.

"Then do you know when the winter cotton clothes of the Transshipment Division will be delivered to the front line? Seeing that it is about to enter the cold winter, I naturally don't have to worry about keeping warm for the winter when I return to Lin'an, but now there are more than 50,000 people on Huainan East Road, how to survive the winter if there are no cotton clothes? Ye Qing took his cup, took a sip, and asked unhurriedly.

"Naturally, I don't dare to worry about this matter, Lord Lao, since you have decided to return to Lin'an, then next, Lord Li and I must be the first to solve the problem of all the soldiers' food and clothing, including winter clothes. Xiaguan knew that Lord Ye had always loved soldiers like children, and he would never want to see even a soldier in this cold northland without winter clothes, so Xiaguan assured the lord that once the adult left the army, winter clothes and other expenses would inevitably be sent to all the soldiers on the front line as soon as possible, including the defenders in the cities. Hong Zun looked at Ye Qing's moving appearance, and couldn't help but be happy, thinking that Ye Qing now no longer dared to resist the order and stay in the north.

"In that case......." Ye Qing held the teacup, looked at the two of them with a smile and said, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Li Zhixiao.

"My lord, rest assured, as a member of the same system, the lower officials will also love soldiers like sons, and will never let these soldiers who fought and shed blood and sacrificed for my Great Song Dynasty battlefield be frozen, and I promise that every soldier will be fed and clothed before the cold winter comes." Li Zhixiao also looked at Ye Qing with encouraging eyes, and couldn't wait to kick Ye Qing out of the Zhongjun tent now, and quickly let him get out.

"Since the two of you have sworn that the winter clothes will be delivered soon, it is not too late for me to wait for the supplies to arrive. Let alone...... The two lords, both the first decree and the second decree ....... In front of the two people, Ye Qing slowly opened the second holy decree, pointed to the black letter on it and said, "Just let Ye Qing set off to Lin'an immediately after receiving the holy decree, but from beginning to end, he didn't say when I would arrive in Lin'an, right?" So can it be said that even if I return to Lin'an at this time next year, it will not be regarded as disobeying the holy order? ”

"Lord Ye, what do you mean by that?" Li Zhixiao's face sank, and he had the feeling that Ye Qing had treated the two of them as monkeys just now, and he had been playing for a long time.

"What do you mean? Discuss the unspecified date of return in the holy decree. Ye Qing said innocently.

"Lord Ye, you must have misunderstood." Hong Zun was also stunned for a moment, and scolded several generations of Ye Qing's family angrily in his heart, but he said: "The Holy Lord ordered you to set off to return to Lin'an immediately, and the farthest distance from here to Lin'an is only seven or eight hundred miles, even if it is fifty miles a day, half a month, it is naturally enough for Lord Ye to rush back to Lin'an." The reason why the saint has no definite return date must be because he trusts you, Lord Ye, and believes that you, Lord Ye, will never delay the trip again after receiving the holy decree. ”

"Trying to figure out the holy will in vain, Hong Zun, if you are impeached by Lord Li for the responsibility of supervising the imperial history, your deputy will be in danger." Ye Qing sighed and said, looking at Hong Zun and Li Zhixiao, whose eyes were about to stare out, waved his hand and continued: "Since the saint has not yet set a return date, then Ben Shuai is not in a hurry to return to Lin'an, and the two adults, they don't have to worry about the military, these days, it's ...... On the basis of grain, grass, cotton clothes, etc., when the cold winter is coming, we must ask Zhou Duanchao to send these to the front line, if it is too late or less, this commander will deal with the two of you with military law. ”

"Ye Qing, you deceive people too much!" Suddenly, Li Zhixiao, who was annoyed and angry, stood up from the chair in an instant, and made a fuss for a long time, this Ye Qing really treated them like monkeys.

So much so that now, not only have they not been able to get the slightest military power, but they have also been grabbed by Ye Qing by their pigtails because of food and grass and other winter things.

"What, do you want to disobey military orders?" Ye Qingshen was cold and asked in a deep voice.

"It was you, Ye Qing, who disobeyed the holy will and ...... first." Ignoring Hong Zun's pull on the side, Li Zhixiao, who was blushing with anger and a thick neck, refuted angrily.

As an overseer of the imperial history, when did he suffer such anger?

Whether it is in Lin'an or other roads, others try their best to please themselves, carefully serve them with good food and drink, and are afraid that if they are not satisfied, they will be impeached in front of the court and the saints.

Only this Ye Qing is simply ...... It's just a bastard thing, oil and salt don't enter, no distinction between good and bad, I must be in front of the saint and impeach him again!

(PS: MD, I don't know if Ye Qing has a cold or his wives miss him, but I really seem to have a hot cold, I keep sneezing, and I have the urge to have a runny nose.) ）
