Hota Gongji clearly knew how much benefit the connection between Ye Qing and Han Daochong could bring to each other's interest groups in the future.

And this is why he would rather kill a newly appointed Lanzhou Mansion Yin than turn his face with Ye Qing, because among the interests of it, there is his own interests of the hot Gongji.

Similarly, Ye Qing didn't want to fall out with Han Daochong, in addition to his own interests, he also needed to contact the Liao people through the Xia Kingdom, and as he began to return to the Song court, he would not only have to face the unknown dangers that Zhao Gou and other courtiers would bring him, but also take into account the hatred of the crown princess Li Fengniang for him.

Money can temporarily alleviate Li Fengniang's hatred for him, but he also knows very well in his heart that Li Fengniang is afraid that she will not want to take her life all the time to be ashamed of her.

And thinking about it from a distance, in Ye Qing's analysis, as long as he has been in Lin'an for the past few years and can survive Zhao Gou relatively safely, then in the next few days, he will inevitably need a strong support behind him as a background.

Thinking about it, Wan Yan Jing, who is far away in the Jin Kingdom, can barely be regarded as one, and in addition to being able to put pressure on Song Ting externally and help him at a critical moment, Song Ting naturally needs someone to support him, and he can and is willing to say a few words of support for himself.

And this person is only the current crown princess Li Fengniang. After all, with the passage of time, the relationship between them will become more complicated, although this does not change Li Fengniang's original intention of wanting her own life, but before this, she is definitely the person in Zhao Songzong's room who can give her real and powerful help.

Whether it is a rainy day or a foresight, because he knows most of the reasons for the trend of contemporary history, he never believes that he is in an era where he grew up with the two powerful ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty: Han Yanxuan and Shi Miyuan, and he can completely avoid these two people in the future, or not conflict with these two.

So he needs to use some of his "prophets" to plan the future for himself, not to mention that now he is already a person in the court, and the identity of Shaoqing of Dali Temple has completely dragged one of his feet into the court.

Starting from Lanzhou all the way south, Han Yanxuan and Zhao Ruyu didn't even ask a word about what Ye Qing talked about with Hot Gongji last night, as if nothing happened last night, just the three of them walked around Fengyue Field, and then ransomed the two girls.

After leaving Lanzhou and going south along the official road, passing through Dingxi and Qinzhou, it was regarded as entering the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhao Ruyu never stopped ridiculing Han Yanzhou and his party along the way, and Ye Qing would occasionally say a sentence, meaning that you want Lao Han to give you one?

But Zhao Ruyu, who heard this, immediately lost interest, shook his head again and again, and said: Not suitable, not suitable, I look at Lao Han's appearance, as if he has been reluctant to do any of them in the past two days.

Han Yanxuan didn't bother to pay attention to the jokes of the two, since entering the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, with the billowing smoke and dust, it was the cavalry and foot soldiers of the Zeng An Army of the imperial court who came with it.

Although the imperial court still retains the name of Zeng Anjun, especially the Dingxi Army, Dingxi has obviously long been the territory of Daxia.

Han Yanxuan, who had not appeared in the army for a few days, piled up a thick stack of decrees from the imperial court in his hands after entering the Dasan Pass.

At this time, Liang Yan on the carriage followed the trend, and he really believed in the identity of the three people in front of him, especially Liang Yan, when he saw Han Yanxuan giving orders in front of the army, his eyes were much brighter than those in the hurry, and the corners of his face and mouth gradually had a comfortable smile.

It took a team of nearly 200 people a full ten days to arrive at Xingyuan City, which was one word different from the capital of Xia on Lizhou Road.

did not follow Han Yanxuan to the yamen of Xingyuan City, but after entering Xingyuan City with Zhao Ruyu, they separated from Han Yanxuan and went to the post house that had been prepared long ago under the signal of Han Yanxuan.

"I always feel like something is missing along the way." Zhao Ruyu had nothing to do, looking at the person in front of him who seemed to be busier than Han Yanxuan, after arriving at the post house, the figures coming and going in the room did not have the back of Ye Qing, who was not idle, and said a little boringly.

"Continue to walk around the building at night?" With the help of Wu Ju, Lao Liu Tou and Xu Qing, Ye Qing still kept sorting out some papers in his hands, turned his head and asked Zhao Ruyu, who was sitting bored in the chair.

From time to time, there will be people in the room who have just come in, handing the will of the imperial court to Ye Qing, these are the imperial documents sent by the Imperial City Division or the imperial court through Lufu Prefecture since entering the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Do you still have this time?" Zhao Ruyu looked at the figures coming and going in the room, and sighed boringly: "Since entering my Great Song Dynasty territory, you have received no less documents from the imperial court than Lao Han, according to the practice of my Song court, probably there should be many documents urging you to return to Lin'an now, right?" ”

"It's a lot anyway, but it's not enough for me to travel overnight, right?" Ye Qing looked at the almost finishing paper at hand, and handed over the rest to Wu Juan and the others to sort out, while he turned around and sat down on the chair next to Zhao Ruyu.

"Are you going to take the waterway?" Zhao Ruyu took the initiative to pour Ye Qing a cup of tea and asked.

"Yes, get on the boat from Ankang and go south, all the way through Xiangyang, Jingzhou and other places, and then take the land or water route to Lin'an after arriving in Chizhou." Ye Qing handed the map in his hand to Zhao Ruyu and said.

"Well, this can return to Lin'an earlier, but the waterway also has to be careful, it is not wider than the Jiangnan waterway, and there are some places where the water is turbulent, and there are even places that are not suitable for boating, and you need to take the land route and then change the waterway. Alas...... In short, every time I go back to Lin'an, for me, it's like fighting with my army, and I'm very tired. Zhao Ruyu obviously wanted to return to Lin'an earlier, but before the imperial court decree came down, he, the prefect of Chengdu Mansion, still needed to continue to wait here.

"There's nothing you don't get tired of when you're in a hurry." Ye Qing smiled, he knew better than anyone else the hardships of rushing in this era, after all, I am afraid that at this time, there was no one in the Southern Song Dynasty like him, who spent nearly two years to turn most of the land of China.

"It's understandable for him to shout tired, but if you shout tired, you shouldn't be tired, right?" Han Yanxuan's voice came from the door, and Liang Yan followed the two behind him.

Without waiting for Ye Qing to get up and signal, Han Yanxuan had already signaled Liang Yan to follow the trend and sit down on the other side, casually pointed to the long row of people standing at the door holding various gifts, and then said to Ye Qing: "This is my thank you for your favor in Lanzhou, Xingyuan is not as good as Jiangnan, there are not many things that can be handled, not to mention that too much is also a drag on your journey." ”

"If you are reluctant, you will say that you are reluctant, why are you afraid of dragging people down, people go from Lin'an to the capital of Jin, and then cross the wind and snow grassland to Xia Kingdom, and then return to my Great Song Dynasty, I don't feel tired ...... along the way." Zhao Ruyu unceremoniously exposed Han Yanxuan's words to conceal his true intentions.

"Shut up, how much do you know? My old Han family is not as good as the historian who controls the city, where can I get so much money, it is that these outside are already my limit, and if I am someone else, it is good to be able to give half of it. Han Yanxuan unceremoniously interrupted Zhao Ruyu's words, and said without any embarrassment on his face.

However, Liang Yan, who had long been accustomed to Han and Zhao's bickering along the way, followed the trend, and when he heard the bickering between the two again, he couldn't help but bow his head and purse his lips and chuckle.

"So, thank you to Mrs. Han? If it weren't for Mrs. Han, I'm afraid you wouldn't have been so generous to me, right? Ye Qing pointed at Liang Yan with a smile, and did not shy away from directly calling others Mrs. Han.

Han Yanxuan was stunned for a moment when he heard Mrs. Han in Ye Qing's mouth, and then suddenly gave Ye Qing a tacit look, but Liang Yan on the side, when he heard the word Mrs. Han, his cheeks were flushed with shyness, and he was more and more embarrassed to raise his head in front of several people.

Ye Qing stretched out his hand to take all the papers that Wu Juan had sorted out with Xu Qing and the others, and before he could speak, Zhao Ruyu stood up from the chair first and said, "I'll go out to breathe, you guys talk first." ”

After Zhao Ruyu walked out, Wu Juan and the others walked out with him, and finally Liang Yan reacted after following the trend, hurriedly stood up and walked quickly to the door, and then paused, as if he remembered something, bowed his head to Ye Qing and Han Yanxuan, and then walked out quickly.

The room instantly became empty, leaving only Ye Qing and Han Yanxuan sitting on chairs.

"Come and don't be rude, since Brother Han is so polite and has given me so many gifts, then please accept this little respect from Brother Han." Ye Qing handed all the thick pieces of paper to Han Yandao.

"What are these?" Han Yanxuan glanced at Ye Qing with some confusion, and then his gaze moved to the thick paper that Ye Qing pushed along the desktop and in front of him.

"As the saying goes, the sword is given to the hero, and the pink is given to the beauty. Brother Han has not wavered in his will to resist gold and regain lost land for many years, which is a five-body surrender that I admire. After all, now that I have been in a corner of the Song Dynasty for many years, except for the Longxing Northern Expedition, there has been no war for many years, which makes it rare for a loyal patriot like Brother Han to stay true to his original intention. So whether it's useful or not, I think these should be given to Brother Han. Ye Qing's tone said with a hint of respect and seriousness.

No matter how history evaluates Han Yanxuan, his will to regain lost territory and fight against Jin has never changed, and this point is worthy of Ye Qing's admiration.

Although many years later, the Kaixi Northern Expedition initiated by him also ended in failure, but at least compared to others, compared to others, he can always insist on recovering the country, unifying the Central Plains, and not being afraid of the heroes of the Jin people.
