In the post house, Borshu and Mu Huali had heavy faces, especially when the firelight lit up outside the post house, the two sighed in unison, helpless and heavy feelings overflowing.
There was a noise outside the post house, but no one immediately rushed into the post house, which was enough to show that Ye Qing was obviously not harmed, otherwise, those Song troops outside would never have been able to have such sanity, but they just surrounded the post house, instead of rushing in directly.
Although the two of them were ready to die with Ye Qing, if Ye Qing had not been assassinated, then for them, it would be a complete failure, but they had taken the lives of many people in vain, and I am afraid that they would no longer be able to have a friendly relationship with Song Ting.
"I knew that I should let you go out of the city first, and it would be enough to leave me alone to pay for Ye Qing's life......." Mu Huali's tone was heavy and tragic, although the assassination of Ye Qing failed, he did not regret doing so, after all, if he could succeed, the temptation of the result would be too great, so big that he was willing to gamble with his life.
"No, I don't want any of you's lives, for the sake of the friendship that we had in the first place to conquer Khorezm, Ye didn't intend to embarrass you." Ye Qing's voice sounded from the door of the post house, and then a team of soldiers with torches walked in behind him.
The Mongolian soldiers behind Mu Huali and Borshu just wanted to take off their bows and arrows heading north, but they were stopped by Borshu, and signaled to his subordinates not to act rashly.
"I am advocating this matter, and it has nothing to do with Borju...... Mu Huali looked solemn and took a step forward and said.
Facing the menacing Ye Qing, Mu Huali's heart was still a little apprehensive and nervous, after all, when he was in Khorezm, he had already seen Ye Qing's way of doing things, and even the destruction of Xia left a lingering shadow in the hearts of the Mongols.
With his own strength, he was able to almost destroy the entire Xia Kingdom, which was enough to imagine how strong Ye Qing's strength was, not to mention that the battle of Guanshan escaped from death, and let the Mongols see that Ye Qing's soldiers were no less than their Mongols, and even stronger than their Mongols.
So after tearing his face now, Ye Qing, who was facing the Doorman Xingshi's questioning, whether it was Mu Huali or Borshu, was somewhat nervous.
"No matter which of the two of you is the mastermind, I will not pursue it, today's incident Ye will treat it as if it never happened, and he broke his teeth and swallowed it in his stomach." Ye Qing stood still in front of the two of them, and the guards behind him instantly fanned out, enveloping Mu Huali, Borshu, and the Mongolian soldiers behind him in an instant within the range of the bows and crossbows in their hands.
"What does Lord Ye want?" Borshu didn't dare to be careless at all, if Ye Qing was really so good at talking, then he wouldn't have the power and status he has today.
"It's very simple, after returning to Mongolia, it is enough to tell Temujin the truth what you did to me tonight, and tell Temujin that even if I did not repay him for falling into the well when I was in Guanshan, I will not owe him Temujin from now on. In the future, if there is a conflict in the Songmeng border, Ye will never show mercy to his subordinates. Tell Temujin again that the south of Dayin Mountain is the territory of the Song Dynasty, and if there are any more herdsmen crossing the river to provoke and rob us of our grain, then don't blame us for robbing the cattle and sheep on the grassland. Oh, by the way, the 8,000 cattle and sheep outside Jinan City have been slaughtered by me, and the horses have been placed in the camp by us, and you can't take them away. After Ye Qing finished warning, he planned to turn around and leave.
"You ......." Mu Huali's expression instantly became angry, obviously he didn't expect Ye Qing to be so insidious and tough, naturally, he didn't expect that Ye Qing didn't plan to let them take away the eight thousand cows, sheep and war horses.
In this way, their trip to Jinan can be said to not only failed to form an alliance, but also lost troops and broke the generals, and took the 8,000 livestock.
"What? Isn't it fair that 8,000 livestock will be used as medical expenses for my Ye Qing's injury? Ye Qing raised his left wrist and asked.
"Okay, thank you Lord Ye for not pursuing our presumptuous actions tonight, I promise there will be no next ......." Borshu pressed Mu Huali's shoulder, which still wanted theory, and squeezed out a smile and said to Ye Qing.
Eight thousand cattle, sheep and horses on the grassland, no matter which tribe or for their Mongolia, is a lot of wealth, and Ye Qing now has to exchange the injury on his wrist, this kind of thing will not be willing to leave on anyone.
But the current form, after all, was their fault first, and Ye Qing also grasped this point, forcing them to be unable to argue in front of Ye Qing.
"Don't worry, you won't have another chance to assassinate me." The corners of Ye Qing's mouth showed a smile that made Mu Huali and Borshu nervous, and then the two squares where the rest of the Jin people lived in the east of the post hall sounded at this time, and even accompanied by bursts of screams in the night sky.
"Lord Ye, what do you mean by this?" Borshu's heart tightened, and a bad premonition rose from the bottom of his heart.
"Now that I'm a son, I still want to go back and sleep peacefully, but if you have weapons in hand, I won't sleep soundly tonight, so I have to keep all the weapons for you." The smile on the corner of Ye Qing's mouth widened slightly, and the guards and soldiers of the Flower Planter behind him began to move forward slowly like a tide, drowning Ye Qing in it in an instant, and the cold arrows aimed at Mu Huali and Borshu, as well as the Mongols behind him.
"Put down your weapons and give them to me for safekeeping, then go back and get a good night's sleep, and then hurry back to you tomorrow morning."
Mongolia. Ye Qing's voice sounded behind the tide-like Song soldiers.
"If I ......." Mu Huali couldn't bear it, he had never encountered such a thing.
As soon as he spoke, a cold light flashed in front of him, and a sharp arrow instantly fixed on the floor tiles under his feet, and the tail of the arrow swayed rapidly in the air with a buzzing sound.
"I won't shoot at your feet next time, Borshu, have you figured it out?" Ye Qing's somewhat lazy voice was getting farther and farther away from them, obviously, Ye Qing didn't intend to talk nonsense with them, and he didn't intend to give them a chance.
"Okay, today's grace, Borshu will keep it in mind, and one day, I will definitely double it back to Lord Ye." Borshu's eyes seemed to breathe fire, and he gritted his teeth and shouted to Ye Qing's back who had already walked to the door of the inn.
Ye Qing didn't know if the middle finger he raised behind him would be seen by Mu Huali and Borshu, not to mention, even if they did, I'm afraid the two of them wouldn't understand what it meant, but no matter what, although he was a little injured tonight, he was still in a happy mood.
After all, it is not possible for anyone to make the Mongols willingly put down their weapons and turn them into sick wolves without fangs on the steppe.
With the current status of Yimu Huali and Borshu in Mongolia, it is obvious that they have never suffered such an insult from being disarmed, which makes them even more uncomfortable than killing them, but the current situation is that the two of them have to act according to Ye Qing's rules.
The streets of Jinan City at night have long been devoid of pedestrians, but tonight's Jinan City is obviously destined to be a sleepless night, especially from Haishi to Zishi, the streets and alleys will appear from time to time Song Jun full of armor, stepping on the rumbling steps through the streets.
The heavy and solemn footsteps made the people hiding at home tremble one by one, speculating that Jinan Mansion, which had been stable for several years, would it be possible to usher in a terrible war again?
But these days, there has been no rumor in Jinan City, let alone the news that the Jin people are going to press the border on a large scale, but tonight there is such a Song army suddenly appeared in the city, and why?
It is destined that tonight will be a sleepless night for the people, and similarly, for Borshu and Mu Huali, it is not only a sleepless night, but also a heartwarming night.
Wanyan Yongji ran to the hall in his pajamas, Yelu Chucai walked into the hall with Jia She, and without waiting for the two to salute, Wanyan Yongji asked with a slashed face: "What's going on?" Ye Qing went crazy again? What do you do when you gather an army into the city? Could it be that he wants to break the contract? ”
"King Wei Shao is too worried, Lord Ye has no such intention. Since he has formed an alliance with your country, how could Lord Ye go back on his word? Today's fate is coming over, just to protect King Wei Shao, not to embarrass King Wei Shao. Jia Shi said neither humbly nor arrogantly, Yelu Chucai on the side was silent, but his eyes were filled with a touch of deep thought.
"Protect me?" Wanyan Yongji couldn't help laughing at Jia She's tone, and asked: "Although there are no heavy soldiers in the post house where this king is located, there are also hundreds of soldiers to protect this king, isn't this enough?" ”
"King Wei Shao, you don't have to be angry, Lord Ye is afraid that the Mongols will make a move tonight, so as to sow discord between your country and Lord Ye's alliance not long ago. After all, if King Wei Shao makes a slight mistake in Jinan City, Lord Ye really can't explain to your saint, so he will come to protect King Wei Shao at the end. Jia Shi continued to explain.
Wanyan Yongji still looked disbelieving, but Yelu Chucai, who was on the side at this time, opened his mouth and asked Wanyan Yongji on behalf of Wanyan Yongji: "How did Lord Ye know that the Mongols would make a move tonight?" Dare to ask what the Mongols really do now? ”
Wanyan Yongji's eyes lit up, he was not very familiar with Yelu Chucai, it was only because of the first drunkenness in Jinan that Yelu Chucai thought that he was poisoned, and then dared to go to Yefu alone to question Ye Qing, so that he began to appreciate this young man.
So at this moment, when he heard Yelu Chucai ask a question for him, although he was a little surprised, he also quite agreed with Yelu Chucai's question: "Yes, what did the Mongols do tonight?" ”
"The Mongols assassinated me tonight." Ye Qing's voice sounded at the door.
Wanyan Yongji and Yelu Chucai were startled, and the two of them looked at each other with expressions of disbelief.
After all, this is a post house mainly guarded by the Jin people, Ye Qing walked in so easily, could it be that the soldiers outside have been controlled by Ye Qing!
Wanyan Yongji glanced at Yelu Chucai, Yelu Chucai immediately nodded at Wanyan Yongji, and then turned around to go out to investigate.
"You don't have to go, you've been in Jinan Mansion for so long, if I can't recognize a few generals of your Jin Mission, then wouldn't my Ye Qing be too useless?" Ye Qing smiled and walked slowly to Wanyan Yongji.
"...... you?" Wanyan Yongji looked at Ye Qing in surprise, he really couldn't imagine that Ye Qing was so insidious, during the time he stayed in Jinan, this product did not forget to secretly win over and buy his generals.
"Don't worry, it's not as dirty as you think, it's just that you're familiar with them, and they haven't betrayed you." Ye Qing didn't wait for Yan Yongji to ask him to sit down, so he took the initiative to sit down, and after yawning, his eyes fell on Yelu Chucai, who was behind Jia She, closer to the door
Above.
"Yelu Chucai, do you also think that the Mongols will not make any changes tonight?" Ye Qing ignored Wanyan Yongji, who was dissatisfied with him next to him, and asked himself.
Yelu Chucai glanced at Wanyan Yongji, saw that Yan Yongji didn't make a sound, and then thought for a while and said calmly: "I guessed that the Mongols would make a move, but ...... King Wei Shao will not be in danger. ”
Ye Qing smiled, and then looked at Wanyan Yongji, Wanyan Yongji's expression instantly became a little unnatural, facing Ye Qing's gaze that seemed to have a hint of scrutiny, he smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "I...... I also just reacted, you see, I haven't changed my clothes, and I'm going to ask Jia Shi for the reason, so that he can remind you to be careful that the Mongols are making trouble tonight, which may be unfavorable ......to you. ”
Ye Qing didn't wait for Yan Yongji to finish speaking, he raised his left hand, and after the sleeve fell down to reveal his bandaged wrist, Ye Qing smiled and said, "In this way, in fact, King Wei Shao has already noticed ....... ”
"That's not the case." Wanyan Yongji shook his head and said: "At first, this king was just guessing, but there was no evidence, so he didn't dare to rashly remind Lord Ye, for fear of causing misunderstanding among Lord Ye, thinking that I was stirring up the relationship between you and the Mongols, so I didn't prepare to ...... until tonight." ”
Ye Qing waved his hand, still looking at Yan Yongji with a smile, and then said: "King Wei Shao has been so insincere in Jinan Mansion these days, so it is difficult for Ye to rest assured about the alliance with your country, King Wei Shao, this is not the first time you have done this since you came to Jinan, I didn't pursue the matter of Yidu Yanning, I thought that King Wei Shao would definitely change his mistakes, but I didn't expect that King Wei Shao would want to watch me clash with the Mongols tonight...... Did King Wei Shao hope that the Mongols would succeed in assassinating me tonight, so that your country could take advantage of the panic in the northlands? ”
"Absolutely not!" Wanyan Yongji almost jumped up from his chair and retorted with some panic.
"At present, there is no possibility of Ye Mou and the Mongols forming an alliance again, but King Wei Shao has been making small moves behind his back, which is really hard to make me believe that the alliance with your country is valid." Ye Qing's gaze slowly turned from the panicked face of Wanyan Yongji to Yelu Chucai's body: "When did you notice it?" Don't tell me I only noticed it tonight in Changfeng Tower. ”
"Three days ago, when King Wei Shao went to Lord Ye's mansion, he found some sneaky people dressed as Mongolians, who had been circling around Lord Ye's mansion, so the lower officials became suspicious, and when you talked to King Wei Shao, he found an opportunity to go out and take a turn." Yelu Chucai continued truthfully: "But as King Wei Shao said, I can't be sure before this that the Mongols dare to disadvantage you, after all, this is your territory, and no matter how bold the Mongols are, I guess they won't dare to ....... ”
"Look, is it the same as what I said? This king really didn't deceive you, Lord Ye, everything he said was true, until he just figured it out, and he was ready to let Yelu Chucai inform you of ....... Wanyan Yongji hurriedly spoke.
"What do you say?" Ye Qing ignored Yan Yongji, and continued to ask Yelu Chucai.
"Yes, when I was in Changfeng Tower tonight, Xia Guan judged that the Mongols would make a move tonight, and the target was not Lord Ye but King Wei Shao, but Xia Guan was naturally more inclined to Lord Ye, and now it has been confirmed that Xia Guan expected it to be good, and Lord Ye is obviously more threatening in the eyes of the Mongols." Yelu Chucai, like Jia She, who had just answered in front of Wanyan Yongji, was neither humble nor arrogant in his attitude.
"But you're not trying to warn me? King Wei Shao, Ye knew the calculation in your heart, and wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but Ye Mou's life was big, but he was scratched by the Mongols, and he didn't even pursue the Mongols' assassination of me. Otherwise, do you think Jinan City can still be as peaceful as this tonight? Ye Qing smiled and threw out his chips.
His purpose is very simple, except for his own carelessness tonight, he has always mistakenly thought that the target of the Mongols will be King Wei Shao, that is, after tonight's incident, he wants to take this opportunity to leave Yelu Chucai in Jinan, instead of letting him follow Wanyan Yongji back to Jin.
"What does Lord Ye mean by this? Now that you and I have exchanged letters of alliance, do you want to break the treaty ...... Lord Ye? ”
"If you want me not to break the contract, it's okay, King Wei Shao will return to Yanjing early tomorrow morning, so I have to leave something that can make me feel at ease and believe that the covenant is valid...... How is he? Ye Qing's injured left hand pointed at Yelu Chucai, who was a little surprised.
"Do you want him to stay in Jinan as a guarantee?" Wanyan Yongji also pointed at Yelu Chucai with some incredulity.
He didn't understand why Ye Qing valued Yelu Chucai so much, but at this moment, Yelu Chucai frowned slightly.
Ever since the first time he went to Ye's Mansion, when Ye Qing happily told him how to relieve his hangover to King Wei Shao, he realized that Ye Qing's attitude towards him was very different from others.
And the next few times he saw Ye Qing, maybe others wouldn't notice it, but Yelu Chucai could clearly feel that every time Ye Qing looked at him, his eyes seemed to have a deep meaning.
Yelu Chucai, who didn't think that he could enter Ye Qing's eyes, was also inexplicable, he was not an important figure in the Jin Kingdom at all, but now Ye Qing actually wanted to rely on him to ensure the alliance between the two countries, which made Yelu Chucai's heart feel both flattered and a hint of ridicule.
