In April of the fifth year of Shaoxi, Ye Qing began to slowly and leisurely set off to return to Lin'an.

Since the first day, after Ye Qing sent away Shi Miyuan and others in Chang'an, under Liu Minxing's strong request and suggestion, he personally supervised the first imperial examination in the north, and when he planned to leave Chang'an, he was kept by King Qing and Chongguo Gong for a few more days, and after participating in the spring ploughing, everything in the north was completely solved.

Before leaving, Ye Qing also gave Bai Chun a coin made of pure gold, and after being seen by the sharp-eyed Yeluyue, she began to spend almost the whole day by Ye Qing's side, asking Ye Qing to give her the same coin.

In desperation, Lord Ye's hundred steels turned into finger wrapping again, and he also gave Ye Luyue, who planned to stay in Chang'an with Bai Chun, a coin made of pure gold.

Ye Qing didn't know very well why Ye Luyue had to pester himself for such a coin, but he could vaguely guess that Ye Luyue would definitely have her own plans after she left Chang'an.

So, Lord Ye told the white beauty again that she must be optimistic about the princess of the dead country, and she must not be allowed to come to the north by her temperament, so she finally began to set off for Lin'an with confidence.

The mighty 8,000 kinds of Huajia army waved their flags, the black armor looked mighty and solemn in the early morning sun, and the momentum of the elite soldiers was unobstructed, looking back at the people who saw off the city tower gradually becoming smaller, Ye Qing turned his head with a smile and began to focus on hurrying.

Since the departure of Shaoxi in April of the fifth year, Ye Qing did not plan to return to Lin'an in the fastest time, and also took a stop-and-go approach, and when the important state capitals along the way in the north passed by, officials would come out to greet him, and then Ye Qing would be delayed for a day or two.

In short, when Ye Qing slowly took off all the way while patrolling and hurrying, after entering Huainan Road, it was already late May of Shaoxi's fifth year.

At this time, Lin'an City also began to receive Ye Qing's traces all the way back to Lin'an.

Today's Lin'an City, although it is not said to be a great enemy, whether it is Shi Miyuan or Han Yanxuan, or the Emperor Zhao Yan in the Lonely Mountain Garden, they are all secretly making their own preparations.

Among the three, the most proud of them now are Shi Miyuan and Emperor Zhao Yan, but Han Yanxuan, since Chang'an returned to Lin'an, his brows have never been relaxed.

When he left Lin'an and went to Lanzhou, Han Yanxuan was not as incompetent and bad as Ye Qing said, but when he returned to Lin'an, Han Yanxuan gradually realized that I don't know when the power in his hands was much smaller, and the scope of influence began to shrink gradually.

Especially for Lizhou Road, Chengdu Fu Road, and Kuizhou Road, he was unconsciously disintegrated by an invisible hand because of the henchmen and influence he had gathered during the suppression of Ziqi and Luodian.

The generals of Lizhou Road and Dasanguan no longer listen to him, and the state capitals of Chengdu Fu Road and Kuizhou Road no longer look at him, and even the actions of the army that was stranded in Ziqi and Luodian some time ago when they moved eastward were still known to him above the court.

It was precisely because the two armies suddenly moved from Chengdu Fu Road and Kuizhou Road to the direction of Lin'an that Han Yanxuan suddenly realized that in the short period of half a year since he left Lin'an, many things were no longer the way they were.

The voice of Liuzheng above the court was louder, his waist was straight, Shi Miyuan became more and more proud and obese, and he was even recruited into the palace for three days, and even Gushan often called him over.

Everything that was happening in Lin'an City made Han Yanxuan shudder, and he always felt that with this uncontrollable situation, it was very likely that he would be in the court.

When the news of Ye Qing's entry into Huainan Road reached Han Yanxuan's ears, Han Yanxuan, who was thinking about the problem, was frightened by the sudden news, and then looked at Wu Lie and muttered: "All this is obviously the intention of the Emperor Taishang, it was he who ordered him to stay in Lizhou, Chengdu Mansion, and Kuizhou Road during the time I left Lin'an." Now that Ye Qingdu has arrived at Huainan Road, the Emperor Taishang actually wants to restrain me at this time? What kind of calculation is he playing? ”

Han Yanxuan, who couldn't think of an answer, couldn't help but think of Ye Qing's proposal to join forces with him again in Lin'an, could it be that Ye Qing had already noticed something, so it would be so?

At this time, because his right as the left minister suddenly became smaller and was replaced by the right minister, Han Yanxuan had not had much mind to think about Ye Qing's return to Lin'an, and Shi Miyuan at this time seemed a little eager to try, and had been thinking about how to deal with Ye Qing, who was about to return to Lin'an.

Similarly, when Emperor Zhao Yan, who was in the lonely mountain, heard the news that Ye Qing had arrived at Huainan Road and would choose to cross the river to the south in the near future, he opened his cloudy eyes slightly, and then said lightly: Zhao Liuzheng came over to discuss matters.

At this time, Ye Qing was completely unaware of everything in Lin'an, and after staying in Yangzhou for only ten days, Ye Qing embarked on a trip to Lin'an.

Ye Qing, who set off again from Yangzhou, was a little reluctant to be happy and empty, she had not seen Yan Chengcheng for many days, she had lost a lot of weight, she had been in charge of the whole family, and she also had three children, obviously among several women, she was the busiest one.

Whether it is the eldest son Ye Gucheng or the second son Ye Wuji, they have grown a lot taller than the last time they saw them, but they are also more stubborn than at the beginning, which often gives Yan Tingcheng a headache, and he is angry, and most importantly, today's stubbornness is not only famous in the academy, even if it is the entire Yangzhou, it is already a small reputation.

Ye Xiaofeng, the only girl that Ye Qing likes the most, is becoming more and more afraid at this time, when Ye Qing stepped into the door of the mansion and saw Ye Xiaofeng, Ye Xiaofeng was stunned in place, and then looked at Ye Qing's smiling cheeks full of love, and instantly burst into tears.

When Ye Qing thought that her little padded jacket was crying because of the surprise she gave her, the little padded jacket wiped a handful of tears indiscriminately, pulled her legs and ran away, as if she didn't know him.

Standing at the bow of the boat in the direction of Lin'an, Ye Qing's mind was still echoing the scene of Ye Xiaofeng, who was familiar with him again when he was about to set off, still with red eyes and tears in the corners of his eyes, trying not to cry, but just hugged his neck tightly, reluctant to let him leave again.

A faint melancholy rose in his heart, and he originally wanted to take Ye Xiaofeng away, but when he saw Yan Qingcheng's murderous gaze, he had to swallow back his fatherly love for Ye Xiaofeng.

The three little guys were all brought up by Yan Tingcheng, if he took Ye Xiaofeng away from Yan Tingcheng at this time, I am afraid that Yan Tingcheng would really hate him for the rest of his life.

In June of the fifth year of Shaoxi, Ye Qing led an army of 8,000 kinds of flowers, and finally returned to Lin'an from Genshan Gate.

Ye Qing, who did not return to the mansion for the first time, went to the palace as soon as possible, and under the leadership of the eunuch, he successively met with the current saint Zhao Dan and the queen Li Fengniang.

After coming out of the palace, Ye Qingcai took Zhong Silkworm and Mo Xiaobao back to the Ye Mansion in Zhonghe Lane, while Jia She and Xu Han took the Flower Planter Army and once again stationed in the camp of the Imperial City Division outside the city.

At this time, on the lonely mountain, Emperor Zhao Yan opened his eyes again, looked at Liuzheng, Bi Zaiyu, and Qian Xiangzu in front of him, and asked lightly: "After Ye Qing returned to Lin'an, he went to the palace as soon as possible, met the saint and the queen, and then returned to his mansion?" ”

"Back to the Emperor, that's exactly the case." Liuzheng replied.

"Brought tens of thousands of horses back to Lin'an?" There was a sneer on the corner of Zhao Yan's mouth, in his opinion, this time Ye Qing returned to Lin'an, he must have to bring tens of thousands of troops to dare to come back.

And he has already prepared nearly 100,000 men and horses from the two armies, plus the soldiers and horses around Jiankang Lin'an, he believes that if he really comes to that point, the imperial court will also have the ability and strength to completely get rid of Ye Qing and his henchmen.

"Hui Taishang, a total of 8,000 people, has also reported this matter to the Ministry of War before. It was only with the permission of the ministers that he entered Lin'an with 8,000 people, and now the 8,000 people are still stationed in the camp outside the imperial city. Qian Xiangzu bowed down to Zhao Yan and replied.

Zhao Yan nodded with satisfaction, and finally said slowly with a sigh of relief: "Even so, but you can't be careless, at the beginning of the battle of Guanshan, the Xia people and 50,000 horses couldn't keep him, this time although Ye Qing has returned to Lin'an, but everything still needs to be done carefully." Before I completely tear my face with him, you don't have to be too bad with him, and you still have to do the superficial work, so as not to startle the snake. ”

Whether it was Liuzheng, Qian Xiangzu, or Bi Zaiyu, after hearing Zhao Yan's words, they all breathed a sigh of relief, if they said that as soon as Ye Qing returned to Lin'an, let them talk to Ye Qing viciously, they really couldn't do it for a while.

After all, no matter what, although Ye Qing is really a hero in the north, he is nominally the hero of the Northern Expedition to recover the lost land, whether it is in the hearts of the people in the north or in the mouths of the people of Lin'an, although Ye Qing's reputation is not good, but it is not really completely bad enough to be infamy, so if Ye Qing returns to Lin'an with the power of conquering summer and recovering the lost land, if they are embarrassed by Ye Qing at the first time, they will also have to bear a lot of pressure.

What's more, if as soon as Ye Qing returned to Lin'an, the Emperor Zhao Yan would immediately take action, first, he didn't have that courage, and second, the court would not dare to risk the world's condemnation to get rid of Ye Qing immediately, in short, in Zhao Yan's next plan, first of all, Ye Qing should be placed on a charge of arrogance, so that every next step can be logical, and it will not be in his hands, and he will not make the same mistake as Emperor Gaozong unjustly killed Yue Fei at the beginning.

"Emperor Taishang, do you want to ......strengthen the guards of the Lonely Mountain?" Liuzheng looked at the surrounding scenery of green mountains and green waters, like a fairyland, and from time to time he could hear the sound of gurgling water and the sound of birds singing in the sky above the lonely mountain.

"Don't worry for the time being, although Ye Qing is not suspicious, but he is also very vigilant, although he knows that it will be very difficult to return to Lin'an this time, but since he dares to come back, it means that he must rely on it. Qian Shangshu, you are the secretary of the Ministry of War, since Ye Qing is now leading the army to return triumphantly, then it is reasonable for you to reward them on behalf of the imperial court in the name of the secretary of the Ministry of War, you can give it a try. Zhao Yan vetoed Liuzheng's suggestion to add guards to Gushan, and then said to Qian Xiangzu, the secretary of the Ministry of War.

Liuzheng and Bi Zaiyu, who were present, naturally knew that this was intended to let Qian Xiangzu divide the army led by Ye Qing, and weaken Ye Qing's current strength in Lin'an as much as possible, no matter what, it would be beneficial for them to take every step in the future.

With the departure of the three of Liuzheng, Zhao Yan, who was slightly tired, faintly showed a smile at the corner of his mouth, in his opinion, Ye Qing's return to Lin'an this time was tantamount to throwing himself into the net, and it seemed that it would be a matter of time before Beidi really returned to the imperial court and returned to the imperial court.
