King Qing, Chongguo Gong and Ye Qing appeared together in the mansion specially prepared for Wanyan Yongji, which did not arouse the dissatisfaction of Wanyan Yongji or Wanyan Jing, and even during the banquet, Wanyan Jing secretly gave Ye Qing a thumbs up and said, "Mr. doesn't have to be so cautious, right?" ”

Ye Qing only smiled, and then said, "Your purpose is not here, do you still care that your little trick has become useless?" ”

In short, it was originally a dinner party initiated by Wanyan Yongji, but in the end, it will naturally turn into a hostile situation of playing dumb riddles, so that King Qing and Chongguo Gong believe that Ye Qing will not invest in gold, and now he is like this with Jinren, it must have a purpose that they are not clear for the time being.

As soon as the dragon raised its head, the weather became warmer, but there was still no change in Chang'an City, except that the day when the dragon raised his head was also the agricultural festival and the people around Chang'an City were divided a little, and the entire Chang'an City, and even Jingzhao Mansion, returned to the tranquility of the past again.

Hot Gongji is still a letter from Cui Yeqing every once in a while, but Ye Qing is not in a hurry at all, and he doesn't care about the stubble of Hot Gongji at all, but still insists on playing dumb riddles with Wan Yan Jing.

When Ye Qing walked past the rather solemn Jin officials today, he gradually realized that today's Wan Yan Jing seemed to have become much more serious than some time ago, and even the eunuchs and palace maids who followed Wan Yan Jing to Chang'an looked a little solemn today.

What is rare is that in addition to the officials who were wearing grand Jin country costumes when passing by, standing solemnly on both sides of the main hall, even the dinner party in the main hall was also wearing the dragon robe of the emperor of the Jin country, and the concubine Li Shi'er next to her was also wearing noble and elegant palace clothes.

"What do you mean?" Ye Qing looked at the atmosphere that was a little different from usual, and turned his head to look at the main hall that was furnished according to their Jin Kingdom Palace: "Why, do you really want to treat Jingzhao Mansion as the territory of your Jin Kingdom?" ”?“ Sir, would you dare to bet with me once? Wan Yan Jing sat at the top, looking at Ye Qing, who was still dressed casually below, wearing a navy blue round-necked robe, and asked.

"Bet? What to bet on? Ye Qing beckoned to Chen Xinxi, Chen Xinxi rarely dared to ignore Ye Qing, he just shook his head, and didn't order someone to bring a chair to Ye Qing, but just watched Ye Qing standing in the hall.

"How about betting on the ownership of Jingzhao Mansion and Hetao Three Roads?" Wan Yan Jing sat on the top and said motionlessly: "I know that Mr.'s purpose in Jingzhao Mansion is to give Song Ting a chance, and he is also waiting for the opportunity to seize the three roads of Hetao, so I bet with Mr., you win, the three roads of Hetao belong to you, I win, you leave on Jingzhaofu Road." ”

Ye Qing looked at the eunuch who finally moved a chair under Wan Yan Jing's signal, and put the chair in the middle of the few officials on both sides, Ye Qing was not polite, and looked at Li Xiang, Wan Yan Yongji and others with disdain on their faces next to him, and then sat down slowly, facing Wan Yan Jing who was high above.

"So, the silver has arrived in Jinan Mansion?" Ye Qing asked in his heart.

"Yes, I'll go to Jinan Mansion today, and it's up to Xin Qiji to see if he can take it away." Wan Yan Jing said with a smile, and then a desk was placed in front of Ye Qing, and a set of tea sets was also placed on the table.

"There is no good medicine in this world, you are too anxious to make people eat a big fat man in one bite." Ye Qing looked at the map that was slowly hanging in the main hall, and then Wan Yan Jing slowly walked down and stood still in front of him.

Chen Xinxi immediately hurriedly moved two chairs, Ye Qing and Wan Yan Jing sat opposite each other, and Concubine Li Shi'er sat on the side, with a graceful and luxurious temperament, and then began to make tea for Ye Qing and Wan Yan Jing with his own hands.

"I want to try." Wan Yan Jing smiled confidently: "Since Mr. was able to take the Beidi Fourth Road and Jingzhao Mansion in one fell swoop, so today I finish Yan Jing and want to try whether I can regain the lost territory of my Dajin in one fell swoop." After Ye Qing hung up the map, his eyes shifted from the graceful and luxurious Li Shi'er next to him to the map, looking at the territory around Jinan Mansion, and then muttered: "I now know why you came to Jingzhao Mansion, and you stayed for more than a month." Do you really want to bet? ”

"Yes, bet."

After Yan Jing finished speaking, he looked at Chen Xinxi, and then at the many courtiers who had been standing on both sides of the three of them, and as the courtiers knew that their emperor did not listen to dissuasion, had a resolute attitude, and resolutely wanted to bet with Ye Qing, they began to withdraw from the hall under Chen Xinxi's shrill voice, either apprehensively or unwillingly.

"Why bet?" Ye Qing held the teacup to his lips and stopped and asked.

Wan Yan Jing smiled easily, did not sigh, and saw that only the palace maids and eunuchs were left in the hall, and even the unwilling Li Xiang and Wan Yan Yongji left the main hall, and then said lightly: "Sir, if I am not the emperor of the Dajin Kingdom at this moment, and you are not a courtier of the Song Dynasty, do you think the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom did the right thing to gamble this time?" ”

Ye Qing drank the tea from his mouth without saying a word, and as soon as he put down the cup, Li Shi'er next to him immediately poured new tea for Ye Qing.

"If the Jin State loses the Hetao Three Roads, whether it is a blessing or a curse depends on the attitude of the Song people towards the Jin Kingdom. I told you back then, be careful of the Tatar ...... steppe. Ye Qing sighed first and said.

"But this time Temujin didn't join forces with us to encircle you, so why did you help me?" Wan Yanjing asked again.

"I told you about it last time." Ye Qing sighed again: "Whether it's Jin or the Tatars, I don't want you to get involved in the Central Plains, bring disasters to the common people, and destroy the traditions of the Central Plains. ”

"Are you jealous of Temujin? So you don't even dare to see the hot Gongji. Wan Yanjing continued: "So what you have to do is to make my Dajin the defense line of the Tatars south, and you only need to hide behind. ”

"Not bad." Ye Qing said without denying it.

"So I need to take a gamble, and since even the gentleman is afraid of the Tatars, then why can't I get some compensation from the gentleman first? Even if you lose Temujin, I won't lose Dajin. If I lose my husband, I will turn around and fight with Temujin with the support of the gentleman behind me, and I will not lose a lot of money. So, sir, I'm going to be the winner no matter what. Wan Yanjing said confidently.

"You're so confident?" Ye Qing asked with a smile, for more than a month, I have seen Li Shi'er, who did not mock a few words, but today he has not said a word until now, and Ye Qing, who has made Ye Qing, still glance at Li Shi'er, who is starting to be dumb today.

Li Shi'er ignored his gaze, just concentrated on making tea next to him, and whoever had no tea, she immediately added it, and then played with the teacup in her hand, but she didn't drink a cup of tea until now.

"Grandpa Huang handed over Dajin to me, and I can't watch Dajin decline or even die in my hands. I have always believed in the advice he gave me, and the things he warned me about back then have now been fulfilled. Temujin was very strong, and after Sangkun fled to the Xia Kingdom and fell into the hands of the hot Gongji, there was only one Zamuhe left in Temujin's eyes, and once Zamuhe was defeated, Daikin could not escape the fate of revenge. After all...... Daikin's brutality against the Tatars can be described as ...... compared to the Central Plains In short, if the Tatars break through my Dajin's defenses, Dajin will not end well, whether it is the common people or the princes and nobles. Wan Yan Jing pondered and continued: "So I'd rather gamble with Mr., if the Jinan Mansion is held by Xin Qiji, the cavalry of the Dajin Kingdom will withdraw immediately, and I ...... I will also disappear from Chang'an City immediately, leave the three roads of Hetao to Mr., and I will take all the rest away, and start to focus all my attention on the Tatars, do I have a chance of winning? ”

"Nope." Ye Qing shook his head extremely dryly and said, "The begging stone martyr must have told you something, otherwise, you wouldn't be so decisive, right?" In the battle against the Khorezmians, Temujin showed a military strategy that I and the gods and slaves of the beggar stone lies, although the siege of the city is not the strong point of the Tatars, but for you Dajin, the hatred of the Tatars is enough for them to use their bodies as a siege ladder. ”

"So if I lose this battle, Mr. will really help me, right?" Wan Yanjing seemed to have accepted his fate, but his eyes were still full of fighting spirit, after all, until now, the war in Jinan Mansion, whether it was him or Ye Qing, it was not clear who won and who lost.

"When the conditions are met, I will naturally help, but that doesn't mean that I won't fall into the ground. My ultimate goal is to recapture the ...... of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. Ye Qing was about to reach out for the teacup, but he was taken away by Li Shi'er, who was silent next to him.

"You are robbing, the sixteen states of Yanyun were taken away from the Liao people by my Dajin, and they have nothing to do with your Great Song Dynasty, especially your Ye Qing! You can only help when the conditions are met, the saint has always respected you as a gentleman, is this how you Ye Qing repay your disciples? You....... Li Shi'er didn't open his mouth, he couldn't stop as soon as he spoke, he held Ye Qing's teacup tightly and didn't give it to Ye Qing, and then crackled at Ye Qing for a while.

Wan Yan Jing was as if he hadn't heard it, he still had a relaxed and confident smile on his face, and Ye Qing faced Li Shi'er's ridicule and anger, looked at Yan Jing for a while, looked at Li Shi'er for a while, and then took advantage of Li Shi'er's breath to take a breath and said to Wan Yan Jing: "You don't care?" Is this still a bit of a concubine? ”

"Some of them are also in my heart, I am embarrassed to scold it as the Emperor of Dajin, and I think it's good for Concubine Shu to do it for me." Wan Yan Jing said with a smile.

Of course, he knew that Ye Qing would tolerate Li Shi'er so much because of his face, so since Li Shi'er came to Chang'an, he had never been accustomed to Ye Qing, and then he listened to the sneering words every time.

After all, this gentleman is too insidious, too despicable, too cunning, and too shameless, and he can't fight him in terms of strategy, and he can't roll with him to take a bad breath, don't you allow your concubine to vent her evil anger for herself and make herself feel comfortable?

Ye Qing rolled his eyes speechlessly, and then when Li Shi'er took a breath again, he said: "Within three or five years, don't go out of the customs, focus on guarding, and strive to let the Xia people also participate, so as to reduce the pressure on you Wanyan Jing and Dajin." This time Guan Shan encircled and suppressed me, you Yan Jing only cared about the immediate interests, and had no long-term strategy, and you had already lost a city first. ”

Ye Qing finally gave Yan Jing a warning, and Li Shi'er, who was like a cannon next to him, finally did not mock Ye Qing again this time, but looked at Wan Yan Jing's originally relaxed face, and slowly became serious.

"I know." Finish Yan Jingsheng

The voice said in a low voice: "But the bait that Zhao Ruyu threw at me at the beginning made me have to gamble." The Song people are weak, as long as Mr. is gone, the Song people are not a threat to my Dajin at all, and it is only a matter of time before I want to regain the Northland Five Roads. So I really want to gamble, if I take this opportunity, I can send Mr. immediately, and I can also take Guanshan, at least my Dajin will have no worries, and I can concentrate on dealing with Temujin on the grassland. I certainly won't miss out on a good thing that kills two birds with one stone. The only thing that's wrong is ....... Wan Yanjing lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "I underestimated Mr. again, and I also underestimated the army of the flower planter." ”

"Treacherous, insidious, despicable, shameless, liar, sanctimonious ......." Li Shi'er sat next to him as if he was reciting words, neither giving Ye Qing tea to drink, nor giving Ye Qing a good face, and began to scold Ye Qing again in a low voice and very clearly.

In short, in her opinion, Wan Yanjing is not wrong at all, it is he Ye Qing who is at fault.

Ye Qing continued to roll his eyes helplessly, and Wan Yanjing suddenly asked again: "When was the Flower Planter Army thrown on the grassland by Mr.?" Was it when you were on an envoy? ”

"A year before I went to the Jin Kingdom, the army of the flower planter was already on the grassland, initially to serve Sangkun, and later with Liao secretly dragged Temujin to unify the hind legs of the various tribes of the grassland, and never fought with Temujin, although he had some skills, but still failed to prevent Temujin from unifying the grassland." Ye Qing continued with some regret: "The Song people are not good at horse warfare, if I want to recover the northern land, I must have an elite cavalry in my hand. So whether it is the reconquest of lost territory, or the fight against the Khorezm people this time, or the battle of Guanshan, it is because of the strength of the flower planting army that I can have the confidence to sit here and gamble with you today. ”

"But Mo Xiaobao, Zhong Silkworm, and that Jia Shi are all in Chang'an, aren't they?" After Yan Jing was shocked, Li Shi'er was also flustered, and he didn't even notice that Ye Qing's teacup in his hand was secretly taken away by Ye Qing.

"Yes, Mo Xiaobao, Zhong Silkworm, and Jia She's are all here, and the newly added five thousand kinds of Huajia soldiers went to Jinan Mansion with the military judge, and those who can come back will be integrated into the Huajia army. The army of flower planters will always exist and will not die. Ye Qing said with a hint of cunning at the corner of his mouth.

"You have a spy in my Dajin? It's been a lot of years, right? Wan Yanjing asked again.

"Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, maybe I'm more familiar with you than you now, but it's only on this map." Ye Qing raised his head and said.

Li Shi'er looked at Ye Qing's appearance as if he had won the roll, and he wanted to be angry for no reason, and wanted to pinch the teacup with both hands, but his eyes saw that someone was leisurely drinking tea with a teacup at the moment.

"You ......." Li Shi'er slapped the table angrily and stood up, but he didn't know what to scold Ye Qing next.

"It's still the same sentence, I am aiming at the sixteen states of Yanyun, and the current situation is no longer able to help you finish Yan Jing, so you have to turn around and deal with the Tatars, presumably whether they are strong or not, you should know better than me in your heart. Twenty thousand dollars in gold, two hundred and fifty thousand dollars in silver, and all those things that you plundered back then, must be returned, otherwise I will offend Temujin because of this, and I don't think I can afford it. Ye Qing continued to say calmly.

"You...... Why don't you go and grab it! Master Li's chest rose and fell with him, and the perfect arc happened to fall in Ye Qing's eyes at this time.

"I'm robbing." Ye Qing said innocently.

"Shameless!" Facing Ye Qing's easy-going smiling face, Master Li was so angry that he didn't know what to say.

Wan Yan Jing has a different feeling in his heart at the moment, Ye Qing's words are already obvious, if those gold and silver are not as good as cash, then Ye Qing may choose to cooperate with the Tatars because of this, after all, there is also a deep blood feud between the Jin Kingdom and the Song people, and especially the hatred between the Song royal family and their Dajin is not much less than the hatred of the Tatars.

"Will Mr. still be a minister in the Song Court?" Wan Yan Jing asked abruptly.

"Yes, life is the minister of the Great Song Dynasty, and death is the ghost of the Great Song Dynasty......." Ye Qing said.

"If the ghost believes your words, sooner or later you will be the courtier and thief of the Great Song Dynasty!" Li Shi'er said mean again.

Ye Qing glanced at Li Shi'er, whose face was flushed with anger, and then continued to Wan Yan Jing: "This is also the reason why I want the rare treasures of the royal family that you plundered back then, if I don't let King Qing and Chongguo Gong bring these back to Lin'an with me, I can't give an explanation to the Great Song Dynasty in the court." After all, the fall of the Jin State is already the trend of the times, and although I have never participated in politics above the court, I know that there are not a few courtiers who want to form an alliance with the Tatars to seek gold and be ashamed of the Song royal family. Bai Chun's father, Bai Bingzhong, and Ye Heng, the pacification envoy of Jiangnan East Road, were all enthusiastic supporters. ”

"In exchange for this, will it be Mr.'s power in the Northland Five Roads, as well as the tacit understanding with the imperial court? But in the end, sooner or later, Mr. will still turn against Song Ting, right? Wan Yan Jing asked with a frown.

"I choose not to answer this question." In Ye Qing's mind, the content of Zhong Qing's letter to him two days ago, that girl had already begun to hold back and let herself rebel, otherwise, how could she compare herself who was once the head of the capital with a person who was originally the pavilion chief!
