When the person who collected the deposit arrived, Qu Ping handed him five gold bars and wrote his name. He left first, and the guards saw that he had already paid the deposit, so he let him go.

The three of them returned to the inn, and Qu Ping said: "What a tall imperial relative back then, now they have become prisoners and have been humiliated in every way, it is really sad and lamentable!" ”

"Amitabha!" Wu Zhishen said a Buddha name.

Xiao Lu said: "Your Great Song Dynasty is still there, and now that the emperor has just defeated the Jin Kingdom, they will have some scruples in their actions." But my Great Liao has been destroyed, and the emperor's relatives have completely become the most lowly people. ”

Qu Ping comforted and said, "I will help you find your relatives!" ”

In the afternoon, Qu Ping surveyed the terrain of the laundry yard under the pretext of shopping, and in the evening asked Wu Zhishen to protect Xiao Lu, change into night clothes, and sneak to the laundry yard.

Outside the laundry yard, there were three layers of soldiers on all sides, guarding them day and night, and anyone who approached without permission would be killed. According to Concubine Jiang, there should be no Jin soldiers stationed inside, but there are three layers of heavy soldiers guarding the outside, and only mosquitoes can fly in.

Qu Ping observed on his stomach on the roof in the distance for a long time, but it was still difficult to see flaws.

It seems that the only way to do this is to submit your credentials openly and request a visit.

Qu Ping sighed, and had to go home first tonight. Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, Qu Ping performed light skills and stepped on the roof to retreat. Suddenly, he felt as if someone was following him.

Qu Ping crossed the gap between the two rooms, estimated that the person behind him should be in mid-air at the moment, unable to borrow strength, took out a copper coin, and shot at the person with a whoosh.

That man's skills are also extraordinary, twisting his body in the air, and a harrier turns over, and will avoid the hidden weapon.

Qu Ping turned around and saw the man fall out of the room and continued to run forward.

The man fell into the air and shouted, "Brother Qu!" ”

Qu Ping stopped, the voice seemed to be somewhat familiar, and after thinking about it for a while, it turned out to be Yelu Daqi. Qu Ping turned around and walked to the edge of the roof, looking at the Yelu banner standing below, he was wearing a golden man's clothes, looking at this line, he should still have some status.

"How are you?" Qu Ping jumped off the ground and said.

Yelu Daqi approached and said, "I saw you in the marshal's palace during the day, but you never saw me. ”

"You can recognize me when I'm masked, you're following me?"

"Brother Qu misunderstood, I'm just waiting for you here."

Qu Ping glanced at Yelu Daqi's clothes and said, "Congratulations to Brother Daqi, it seems that your status is not low now?" ”

"Seeing the smile, it took a lot of hard work and nine deaths to get mixed up with the position of the guard commander of Wanyan Zongfu."

"Brother Daqi must have suffered a lot!"

"Don't talk about that." Yelu Daqi said, "Congratulations, Xiao Lu can be with you, this is also fate." ”

"You know that, too?"

"If you want to know something, there will always be a way."

Qu Ping knew that Yelu Daqi had feelings for Xiao Lu, and said, "Don't worry, Xiao Lu will be very happy." ”

Yelu Daqi was noncommittal, thinking to himself, with me, you may not be happy. He said: "I was also confused for a while, and now I am reaping the consequences, which can be regarded as a lesson for myself." ”

Qu Ping changed the topic and said, "How are you inside the Jin people now?" ”

"Some core secrets are not accessible yet, but in time, everything will not be a problem." Yelu said, "I will definitely get back what belongs to me!" ”

"We can work together if needed." Qu Ping said, "Brother Daqi, is there a way for me to enter the laundry house?" ”

"The laundry house is tightly guarded, unless the Golden Emperor and the marshal have an order, no one is allowed to enter, and violators will be killed! I can only look at it from afar. At this point, I'm afraid I can't help Brother Qu. ”

Qu Ping knew this and said, "Okay, I'll find another way." Brother Daqi has seen the royal relatives of your Liao Kingdom? ”

Yelu Daqi showed sadness on his face and said: "My Great Liao Emperor is already a person who has died in the country, and now his identity is not as good as your Great Song Dynasty emperors." Men are all imprisoned, or executed, or starved and cold tortured to death, women hope that some of the beautiful and young will be reduced to prostitution, it is really better than pigs and dogs! ”

Qu Ping didn't know if he was referring to the suffering men and women or the heinous Jin Ren, and asked, "Aunt Xiao Lu, how is it now?" ”

"Concubine Xiao is less than forty years old, and she has been properly maintained, graceful and luxurious, what do you think will happen to her?" Yelu Daqi said, "I was also fortunate to meet her once, and now she is the concubine of Wanyan Zongfu." ”

"Can you let me see her, she is Xiao Lu's dearest person in this world."

"What did you do with her?! She is now Yan Zongfu's little wife, and she is still gorgeous, how can she remember her former identity! Just because she said that the Great Liao National Fortune has done its best to settle down, I don't want to see her again! Yelu Daqi said angrily.

Qu Ping thought to herself, she is a woman's family, and in this world dominated by men, she has lost her protection, and a weak woman is like a pear blossom that has been beaten down by the rain, and she can only be attached to the trunk of a tree to avoid drifting.

As Xiao Lu's parenting guardian, maybe this sentence is also something to say to Xiao Lu.

Qu Ping'an comforted him and said: "Brother Daqi doesn't have to be angry, this world still relies on a man's fist to speak, and he can't complain about her as a woman." ”

Yelu Daqi said, "Don't mention her." If Brother Qu really wants to go to the laundry house, there is only one way to go in with diplomacy and integrity. Now Jin Guo is trying to catch the merchant ship of the Great Song Dynasty, which is an opportunity. ”

"Thank you, Brother Daqi. It's getting late, so in order to avoid people seeing you and me and causing you trouble, I will take my leave. Qu Ping arched his hand and said.

"It's okay, there will be a date later." When Qu Ping walked more than ten steps away, Yelu Daqi shouted behind him: "Apologize to Xiao Lu for me!" ”

After Qu Ping walked away for a long time, the two came out of the shadows and said to Yelu Daqi: "Your Highness, we are only one step away from the core of the Jin Dynasty, and this person sent it to the door, just to use it as a vote for the name, in exchange for the trust of Wan Yan Zongfu and even Wan Yan Sheng!" ”

Yelu Daqi said noncommittally: "Let me think about this matter again." ”

Another said: "Don't miss the opportunity, Your Highness! ”

Qu Ping quietly returned to the inn and changed into his night clothes. Xiao Lu was worried about his safety, and before he rested, he got up and said, "How is it?" ”

"It's heavily guarded, and it's hard to get in!" Qu Ping said, "Guess who I met?" ”

"Who? Flags? ”

"That's right, he saw us in Wanyan Zongfu's mansion during the day, he has successfully penetrated into the enemy's interior and become the commander of Wanyan Zongfu's guards."

"He's not going to apostatize, is he?" Xiao Lu said worriedly.

"Not really...... I asked him to take me to see your aunt, and he said that your aunt had already taken refuge in Yan Zongfu as a concubine, and warned you to settle down and not think about recovering the country. Your cousin is angry and vows to never see her again. Qu Ping pretended to be an understatement.

Xiao Lu didn't speak, but her heart was very chaotic. My aunt is also a woman, what can I force her? Why not.

Qu Ping said again: "Daqi solemnly apologizes to you and hopes you can forgive him." ”

"If you don't apologize or not, I hope he will be a good person and do things in the future."

After a night of deliberation, Qu Ping decided to take the risk of taking the diplomatic route.

The next day, Qu Ping took Wu Zhishen out of the city, changed into the clothes of the Great Song Dynasty outside the city, and the two swaggered to the city gate. The defenders of the city were startled when they saw two Song people suddenly appear in front of them, and they clenched their weapons and surrounded them. One of the leaders said: "You two Song people, why are you here?" ”

Qu Ping was not afraid, and said: "I am an envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, and I have come here to meet your emperor and have important matters to negotiate." Go and report to your superiors, it's not up to you to decide. After saying that, he sat down on a chair next to him as a matter of course. Wu Zhishen stood behind Qu Ping at all times, just in case.

Seeing that Qu Ping's demeanor was extraordinary, Jin Bing didn't dare to make decisions at will, so he hurriedly called someone to report it level by level.

In addition to the Emperor of the Jin State in Beijing, it was the third prince generalissimo Wanyan Zongfu who was in power, and finally reported to him, Wanyan Zongfu said that the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty had arrived in the capital without any news.

Wanyan Zongfu asked: "Who is from the Song Kingdom?" ”

The soldier was flustered, and he didn't ask himself, he said in a hurry: "The subordinate should die, the subordinate doesn't know, the man who came is a young and tall man, and he also has a monk." ”

"Bastard!" Wanyan Zongfu scolded.

At this time, another soldier hurried over and said, "Marshal, it's Qu Ping, the general of the Song State Auxiliary State!" ”

Wanyan Zongfu said in his heart, how could he come to Shangjing, he can be said to be the number one military leader in the Song Dynasty, if he is arrested...... No, Ben Shuai went to the Song Kingdom, and they could also let themselves come back, if Dajin detained him, wouldn't it seem that Dajin was stingy and dishonest.

Wanyan Zongfu said to the commander of the guards beside him: "Wang Qi, do you think the commander wants to detain him?" ”

Yelu Daqi, who was called the king's banner, said: "The last general thinks that the first thing is to find out why he has come." Moreover, the marshal dared to take risks alone and was able to retreat with his whole body, which also shows that the Song Dynasty was not a person with a small belly and chicken intestines. ”

Wanyan Zongfu looked at him, thought for a while, and said, "What you said makes sense. "Wanyan Sect ordered people to prepare a sedan chair to go out of the city to bring Qu Ping in, showing the great golden gift for several weeks.

Qu Ping sat at the city gate for a long time and waited for someone to receive him, but he didn't expect that it was Wanyan Zongfu's people who came. The soldiers got out of the way, still surrounding Qu Ping and the others from all sides.

Qu Ping got into the sedan chair, Wu Zhishen followed, all the way to the marshal's mansion. When Qu Ping saw Yan Zongfu, he bowed his hand and said with a smile: "Marshal Labor, it's really Qu Mou's luck!" Long time no see, don't come unharmed! Qu Ping glanced at the Yelu banner beside Wanyan Zongfu and pretended not to know.

Wanyan Zongfu returned the salute and said, "Why didn't General Qu say hello in advance, and suddenly arrived at my capital?" Is it really empty when I am a big gold country? ”
