After resting in Jingzhao Mansion for two days, Zhong Silkworm left and headed towards the grassland with more than a dozen people, while Ye Qing continued to lead the army north after staying for three more days.

This time, he did not follow the old road of the past, after leaving the Jingzhaofu Road, he took the Dasanguan frontier, and crossed the Yellow River into the Xia Kingdom, but chose to take the Qingyuan Road and Xiqin Road, and here he joined the Jin generals Qishilie Gods and Slaves who had been waiting, and then went to the Xia Kingdom together, and then entered the Liao Kingdom from the Xia Kingdom.

After Yu Yunwen said goodbye, in just seven days, Ye Qing had already joined the knight and the gods and slaves from Qingyuan Road, and then entered the territory of the Xia Kingdom, and then as long as he traveled for another three days and crossed the Yellow River, he could reach Xingqing Mansion in two days.

Compared with the previous two times when I saw the begging stone lie gods and slaves, this time the begging stone lie gods and slaves looked at Ye Qing with a much more honest and cheerful gaze, no longer like before, as if they couldn't wait to pounce on Ye Qing and bite Ye Qing.

His father Qishi Lie Zhining, and his brother Qishi Lie Zhizhong can be said to have died in the hands of Ye Qing, even if they were not killed by Ye Qing himself, but they also died because of Ye Qing, so this time Wan Yan Jing asked the Qishi Lie Divine Slave to help Liao with Ye Qing, and its purpose was obviously not so single.

Ye Qing didn't care about what kind of hatred he had in the hearts of the begging stone lie gods and slaves at this moment, in his opinion, the begging stone lie gods and slaves at this time were not enough to become his opponent and become the object of his attention and vigilance at all times.

And when he was in the Jin Kingdom, Qishi Lie Zhining intended to let his two sons follow Wan Yan Jing, in addition to being the same age, it was because the old and cunning Qi Shi Lie Zhining had already seen the situation at that time, and knew that the prince who was weak at that time was likely not to live long, so he began to set his eyes on the body of the imperial grandson Wan Yan Jing early.

As a result, whether it is the begging stone slave who has died in the first battle in Jinan, or the begging stone lie god slave who is crossing the river with him now, the loyalty to Wan Yan Jing has reached a very high height, so the begging stone lie god slave at this time, even if he hates himself in his heart, but because of Wan Yan Jing's relationship, the begging stone lie god slave will not be the object of Ye Qing's attention in the next period of time.

It took almost half a day for the Song and Jin armies to cross the river, so that all the troops of more than 10,000 people crossed the Yellow River, and the cyan Helan Mountains, which were like hidden in the depths of the sky, were already faintly visible on the horizon, like a green dragon winding and undulating, majestic.

Su Dao, the courtier of Xia at the ferry, has been waiting for a long time, so the next thing is to follow Su Dao and go to Xingqing Mansion, the capital of Xia Kingdom.

At the end of April of the first year of Shaoxi, after more than a month and nearly two months, Ye Qing and the others finally arrived at Xingqing Mansion, the capital of the Xia Kingdom.

And Su Dao, who picked them up, was still greeting on the road, telling them that there was a light snow some time ago, and their arrival finally made the originally gloomy weather, in these few days, finally ushered in the sunshine.

The city gate in front of him made Ye Qing feel like he was in a different world, when he came here, it was like being sent to the Xia Kingdom, but it was better to crash into the capital of the Xia Kingdom by accident.

The acquaintance with Yeluyue, Wanyan Jing's every move in Xingqing Mansion, and the brief intersection with Zhao Ruyu and Han Yanxuan all happened after arriving at Xingqing Mansion in Xia Kingdom.

And now, when I came to Xingqing Mansion again, it was already a matter of right and wrong, the Liao State became more and more unstable, the Khorezm people had begun to move again at this time, and the small-scale conflicts after the Yuan Ri had happened countless times between the two, and the temptation was more serious than one time, coupled with the bravery of the Khorezm people and the tiger's eye for the wealth of the East, as well as the turbulent situation in the Liao State, Xia Guo can now faintly feel how much pressure the neighbors are under now.

Li Renxiao's death naturally allowed Li Chunyou to ascend to the throne of the emperor of the Xia Kingdom, but it was precisely because of Li Chunyou's generous and stubborn character, as well as the irreconcilable contradictions between him and his mother, that since he ascended the throne as the emperor of the Xia Kingdom, he has become two powerful ministers above the court.

Although the two of them did not want to split the Xia Kingdom like Ren Dejing did back then, but were loyal to the royal family, the family affairs of the royal family were also in a mess, and they had to rely on the two of them to support the court.

Li Chunyou Ye Qing had seen it last time when he was in Xingqing Mansion, but when they had just entered the city, they obviously couldn't see Li Chunyou immediately, but they saw the old fox Hot Gongji.

Looking at the young Ye Qing, and the begging Shilie gods and slaves who were a few years younger than Ye Qing, the treacherous and cunning hot Gongji was like an elder, patting the shoulders of the two of them kindly from time to time, praising the young and promising, young and promising, unlike him, at the age when he should be in retirement, he had to work hard for the affairs of the court and to assist the new monarch.

Compared with the treatment of the last time they came to Xingqing Mansion, this time Ye Qing and the others, except for the army that needed to be stationed outside the city, his personal guards could follow them into Xingqing Mansion justifiably, and then live in the post house specially prepared for them by Hot Gongji.

"Lord Ye is really punctual, the old man thought that you would have to arrive at the beginning of May anyway, but I didn't expect that the end of April you said at the beginning would really arrive on time at the end of April." Hot Gongji looked at Ye Qing on the left and the gods and slaves on the right and said.

Compared with Ye Qing, the gods and slaves of Qishilie are more like a pure general, and Ye Qing's identity is obviously much more complicated, in addition to being both civil and military, he is also quite influential in the Song Dynasty, after all, this time with the help of the Great Song Dynasty Emperor Zen throne, when the new emperor ascended the throne, he was really insightful.

So naturally, in terms of speech and attitude, Hot Gongji is more biased towards Ye Qing, and for the gods and slaves of Qishilie, it will be placed in a secondary position in terms of emotion and value.

Such an attitude can be said to have taken a 180-degree turn from the attitude of the Xia people towards the Song and Jin envoys back then.

"Since I promised you at the end of April, Ye Qing naturally has to keep the contract, otherwise, wouldn't Lord Zhongcheng have another excuse to bully me." Ye Qing's words are seven points of joke and three points of reminder.

Compared with the begging Shilie gods and slaves or the Jin Kingdom, this time in the alliance that wants to fight together against the Khorezmian people, only the hot Gongji is the least enthusiastic, after all, as long as the Liao State is weak, their Xia State can be said to be close to the water and the first to get the moon, in order to resist the Khwarazm people's step-by-step pressing, the Liao State will inevitably ask them for help first, and then they can sit on the ground and raise the price, and the benefits they get are far greater than what Ye Qing promised and the benefits that have been given to them.

So in the end, Hot Gongji agreed, and some of them had to choose a compromise carefully after Jingzhao Mansion was actually controlled by Ye Qing, so that Hot Gongji had to choose a compromise method carefully after taking care of his back.

Hot Gongji didn't care, laughed over, compared to interests, personal cheeks are worthless at all, not to mention that as a politician, who would point to their cheeks to eat?

However, Ye Qing's words made him hear some extraneous meanings, obviously, Ye Qing, who had just arrived at Xingqing Mansion today, also had a good understanding of the current situation in Liao, otherwise, he would not be so afraid that he would change his mind temporarily, or make any excessive demands on him halfway.

"Lord Ye rest assured, since Lord Ye was able to keep the appointment on time and arrived with the envoys of the Jin State, since the old man agreed to it, he naturally would not regret it. However, Lord Ye shouldn't be in a hurry and won't let the old man do his landlord friendship, right? What's more, tomorrow the saint still wants to summon the two envoys, so according to the old man, even if he can go to the Liao Kingdom smoothly, he will have to be the day after tomorrow at the earliest, right? Hot Gongji analyzed and said, Similarly, there was also a faint meaning of putting pressure on Ye Qing by the new emperor of the Xia Kingdom.

The last time he was in Xingqing Mansion, even when he left, he, the nominal envoy of the Song people, didn't even know what Li Renxiao, the emperor of the Xia Kingdom looked like, but this time, he obviously received a lot of attention and took the initiative to summon himself into the palace.

"That's natural, if you can see Your Majesty, it will be Ye Qing's honor." Ye Qing couldn't help but ask, who did the hot Gongji plan to send, and went to the Liao Kingdom with him and said with a smile.

And Hot Gongji also seemed to have forgotten why Ye Qing came, and kept playing haha with Ye Qing, and then sent people to send Ye Qing and the begging Shilie gods and slaves to their respective inns, and planned to feast Ye Qing and the others in their mansions after dark.

The original tea shop had already closed down because of Ye Qing's troubles in Xingqing Mansion, and now the Zhongwei Inn has replaced the function of the tea shop, but there is still Wu Lian, the younger brother of Wu Lian, who is in charge of the affairs here.

As soon as he returned to the post house and washed away the dust and dust, Wu Lian had already arrived in the front hall and waited for Ye Qing.

Mo Xiaobao and Wu Lian knew each other, and as for Jia She, it was the first time he saw Wu Lian, and it was at this time that he realized that the tentacles of the Imperial City Division were not only limited to the Great Song Kingdom, but even such a remote Xia Kingdom had the eyeliner of the Imperial City Division.

After washing away the dust for many days, Ye Qing, who was refreshed, still met Wu Lian before preparing to go to the hot Gongji Mansion for a banquet, after all, he needed to find out what the current situation of the Liao State was during the time he was on his way, and whether it had reached an urgent moment of danger.
