This banquet was a pleasure, a vent, and an excitement for Tong Guan and other generals, they were not prepared at all when they set out for the expedition, and they never thought that this expedition would be so difficult, it is no exaggeration to say that this is simply a nightmare for them.

However, after the Jin State captured Houyanjing, their nightmare not only did not end, but intensified, with the Jin people in front of them, and Song Huizong in the back, they were caught in the middle like weak and poor worms, and they were not people on the left and right.

Until today, they can finally breathe a sigh of relief, because it won't be long before the class teacher can return to the court, so when Li Qi proposed to rush back to Beijing tomorrow, Tong Guan didn't even say a word to save him, which shows how tired he is of this place.

Night.

Knock knock.

Li Qi had just finished washing up and was about to go to bed when there was a knock on the door.

"Who?"

"It's me."

Tong Da Eunuch? Li Qi's face was stunned, he was puzzled, and said secretly, what is he doing here? But he said, "Captain, please wait a moment." He straightened his clothes as he spoke, then stepped forward and opened the door.

I saw Tong Guan standing outside, looking at him, and said with a smile: "You didn't drink again, why did you fall asleep." ”

Li Qi smiled: "Ming'er is in a hurry, so I want to go to bed early." ”

Tong Guan nodded, glanced into the house, and half-jokingly: "It won't be Jinwu Zangjiao." ”

Sweat! Fortunately, I was able to let the bones go back to the house and sleep. Li Qi's heart tightened, and he said, "How can it, Taiwei smiled." With that, he moved out of the way, stretched out his hand, and said, "Captain, please come in." ”

"Excuse me."

Tong Guan arched his hand and walked in.

Li Qi closed the door, stepped forward to pour a cup of tea for Tong Guan, sat opposite him and said with a smile: "Taiwei visited late at night, I don't know what to order?" ”

Tong Guan waved his hand and said, "Where, where, I just can't sleep because of some troubles, so I came out for a walk, and I happened to see that you were still lit here, so I came over to take a look." ”

Day. If you are a eunuch who comes out at night and wanders into the man's room, it is easy for people to misunderstand. Li Qi was depressed in his heart, but said with a smile: "Now that the dust has settled on Yan Yun's matter, why is Taiwei worried." ”

Tong Guan shook his head and said, "This matter can't be said to be settled. ”

Lao Tzu understood, he was here to probe the wind. Li Qi pretended to be surprised and said, "Why did the captain say that? ”

Tong Guan glanced at him slightly, and said, "As long as the Jin army does not withdraw its troops for a day, then this matter is not over." ”

Li Qi said with a smile: "Don't worry, as long as the emperor agrees to the request of the Jin State, the Jin army will withdraw." ”

Tong Guan blinked a few times and said, "Are you sure that the emperor will definitely agree?" ”

Although he knew that this request was indeed no better than the reserve price of Da Song, but at this last moment, he had to be cautious, if he had Li Qi's guarantee, he would be much easier.

Li Qi just opened his mouth, wanting to tell SΓΉ Tong Guan that this matter should not be a big problem, but then swallowed back the words that came to his mouth and changed his words: "Tai Wei, I can only do my best in this matter, because I don't know what the rest of the court will think, and ~." ”

Tong Guan's heart sank, and he said, "And what? ”

Li Qi sighed: "If the emperor agrees to the request of the Jin State, then he must first advocate business in our Great Song Dynasty, then it is inevitable to improve the status of the businessman, but based on the agricultural business, this will definitely involve the interests of many of his people, and I am afraid that it will be opposed by others." ”

"There's some truth to what you're saying."

Tong Guan frowned and nodded, pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "I heard that you have a good relationship with Taishi Cai, Taiwei Gao, and Bai Xiang?" ”

What is this for, he asked? Richie nodded slightly.

Tong Guan snorted and said, "I will definitely support you then, if you have a way to get them to support you, then there should be no problem, but you still have to be careful with your wording, the matter of farming and business is by no means as simple as you imagined, so you have to avoid it as much as possible, otherwise you will fall into a dilemma, I believe it is not difficult to do this with your ability." Although he is not in the court, he has a lot of henchmen, and if he has the support of the Privy Council, then Li Qi will naturally get twice the result with half the effort.

Day. It seems that the end of agriculture is indeed a taboo for rulers. Li Qi nodded, "I know that, but." At this, he suddenly sighed.

Tong Guan asked, "But what?" ”

Li Qi scratched his head and said, "But I'm afraid that the king will object." ”

Tong Guan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

Li Qi was stunned and said, "Captain, what are you laughing at?" ”

Tong Guan waved his hand and said, "I have also heard about you and Wang Xiang, but you can rest assured that Wang Xiang will definitely support you." ”

Li Qi was secretly happy in his heart, but he said: "Thanks to Taiwei Jiyan, I can rest assured." ”

When Tong Guan heard his answer, he also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Captain Ben said earlier that if you go this time, you will succeed immediately, and you really didn't disappoint me." Not bad, not bad. ”

As he spoke, he suddenly took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, handed it over, and said, "I heard that you are in urgent need of land recently, and it just so happens that I have a hundred acres of land fifty miles south of the capital, and it has been idle there, so you can use it, here is the title deed." ”

It's no secret that he is generous, but the targets of his shots are generally used for his career, and they must not be those ordinary people.

Exercise! This eunuch is also bold, but I like it. Li Qi was like winning the 5 million jackpot, and the whole thing was gone, which was a real surprise for him.

Tong Guan raised his eyebrows and said, "Is it too little?" ”

If you want to give more, I won't refuse. Li Qi sneered: "How dare you, how dare you, it's just that how can Li Qi and He De accept such a big gift from the Tai Lieutenant, or I will spend money to rent." ”

The implication is that I do lack land.

Tong Guan waved his hand and said: "This is also troublesome, you have done me a great favor, you can accept this land." ”

"Then Richie would just be disrespectful." Li Qi quietly picked up the title deed and put it in his sleeve, and arched his hand: "Thank you, Captain." ”

Tong Guan saw Li Qi accept this gift, a smile appeared on his face, and said: "Li Qi, your talent is obvious to everyone, and it is inevitable that you will be a little condescending to the Sanya, or I will play the emperor and ask the emperor to let you come to the Privy Council to help me." ”

Exercise! Privy council? This Nima is coming too fast. Li Qideng's heart was full of joy, but then he calmed down again, and secretly said that if the soldiers were not trained well, it would be useless for me to enter the Privy Council, and the Privy Council and the Sanya were so clearly divided that it was impossible to do any part-time work. After weighing it up, he still felt that he had to take it one step at a time, and jumping too fast was not necessarily a good thing for him. Declined politely: "Taiwei is gracious, Li Qi is ashamed to be just Li Qi has only been an official for more than a year, and there is still a lot to learn, and Gao Taiwei has the grace to promote Li Qi, so Li Qi hopes to have more experience in Sanya." However, if the captain has any orders, Li Qi will definitely go to the soup and fight the fire, and he will not hesitate to do so. ”

Tong Guan saw that Li Qi lifted Gao Yu out, so he could only give up, and when he heard his last words, he couldn't help but show a smile of relief on his face, and said, "Okay, I won't force you, but if you change your mind, you can look for me at any time." ”

"Yes."

"Alright, I won't delay your rest."

"Captain walk slowly."

Li Qi stood on the corridor, looked at the back of Tong Guan's departure, raised the corners of his mouth, and said secretly, Great Eunuch, if there is no Tiger Talisman, what can I do when I enter the Privy Council? And you a qiΔ“ embezzlement of military salaries?

Following.

Zhao Liangsi and others said goodbye to Tong Guan and embarked on the return journey again.

A few days later, several people came to the edge of the Yellow River, but it was almost evening at this time, so Zhao Liangsi wanted to wait until tomorrow to cross the river, but Li Qi was worried about the family's business, so he chose to take Yue Fei, Ma Qiao, and Yelu Gu to take the first step.

The four of them traveled lightly and hurried across the river by boat before nightfall.

Crossing the Yellow River, several people hurried non-stop.

In the evening of the third day, several people finally entered the Bianjing area.

Li Qi thought to himself that it would take two hours to enter the city, so it was better to have dinner here for the night and then hurry. So a few people found a small shop on the side of the road and sat down.

The bartender hurriedly came up, bowed down and asked, "Guest officers, what do you want to eat?" ”

"Ten steamed buns, and then cut four catties of cooked meat."

Ma Qiao hurriedly added: "Another jar of good wine." ”

This second goods. Li Qi glared at him slightly, but didn't say much.

The bartender suddenly said, "A few guest officers, do you want to try the golden sausage that the shop just gotten?" ”

Ma Qiao said unhappily: "You bartender is so angry, there is a lot of delicious sausage, quickly bring the wine, I am thirsty." ”

The bartender sneered, then turned away.

After a while, two more passers-by entered, one in gray and the other in green clothes.

The man in gray said first: "Bartender, bartender, bring us half a drunken Xianju roast duck." ”

Another person hurriedly said: "Who still eats the roast duck of Drunken Xianju now, the bartender, come to a bowl of golden sausage." ”

The bartender sneered and said: "This guest officer is right, everyone loves to eat this golden sausage now, and even if you want to eat drunken Xianju roast duck, we don't have it here, it's too expensive, where can we afford it in a small business." ”

The man in gray said: "What kind of golden sausage, isn't it just sausage, I haven't eaten it, what is delicious." ”

The man in Tsing Yi said: "You just came back, I don't know it's forgivable, this golden sausage is only recently made by Bianjing Jinlou, the taste is good, and it can be eaten and drunk, and it is very cheap, the roast duck and canned food in Zui Xianju are delicious, but it is too expensive, not cost-effective." ”

The bartender said: "What this guest officer said is that I heard people say that since the Golden Knife Chef left Beijing, the business of Drunken Xianju is not as good as day by day, and the dishes have not changed for several months. ”

Li Qi's face changed greatly when he heard this.
