Five days later, Song issued a statement saying that Song and Yan were allies, and that if other countries took military measures against Yan, Song would also participate in the war in a variety of ways to help Yan, and did not rule out the possibility of sending troops directly.

This statement did not specify which country it was, although the Qi State would be unhappy when it saw it, but it also avoided a direct conflict with the Chu State. Although the State of Qi is strong, it does not border with the State of Song, and the State of Qi has no way to take the State of Song. Although Chu is slightly weaker than Qi, it is indeed a great enemy against Song, and it is of course the best choice to avoid a head-on conflict.

The news soon spread to Anyang, and under the propaganda of well-intentioned people, the people of Yan State soon regarded Song State as a real ally, and there were a large number of voices criticizing the general Ning Zeping two days ago, and now all of them have become praise for Ning Zeping's foresight.

This effect naturally made Ning Zefeng very satisfied, and even the voice of impeaching Ning Zeping in the court was much quieter, and Emperor Yan Zhu Tingxun summoned Xiao Che, who was hanging aside, into the palace, but Zhu Tingxun still did not make a final decision under the strong opposition of Taiwei Gao Lan.

In the past few days, Shaofu Zhang Qiyu also seems to have re-sided on the side of the general, and his attitude towards Xiao Che and Shi Luosheng has returned to the same as when he was in Guangyuan City. During this period, Zhang Qiyu also invited Shi Luosheng to play outside the city or drink at the house several times, but Shi Luosheng excused himself one by one.

On this day, after Emperor Yan Zhu Tingxun summoned Xiao Che and Shi Luosheng, he asked Zhang Qiyu to send the two out of the palace. Xiao Che deliberately showed a look of excitement and said: "This time, listening to Emperor Yan's tone, it is quite loose, it seems that the long-term alliance between the two countries can be determined soon." ”

Zhang Qiyu was not by his side just now, and asked a little suspiciously: "Is Your Majesty going to decide so soon?" Captain Gao didn't seem to let go. ”

Xiao Che said: "Yes, this is thanks to the mediation of Zhang Shaofu and the Lord of the Ning Sect, so that this matter can be concluded so quickly." ”

Zhang Qiyu said with some embarrassment: "Your Highness has praised it, this is what Qi Yu should have done." ”

Shi Luosheng took the opportunity to say: "Your Highness, are you so happy today, I heard that there is a Youguo Temple in the east of the city, the temple has been built for more than 800 years, it is the national temple of Yan Kingdom, we might as well go over there for a walk, and pray to God, so that the wind and rain of Song and Yan will be smooth, and the country and the people will be safe." ”

Xiao Che pretended to regret and said: "I can't do it today, I asked the Lord of Ningmen to ask him some questions, why don't you go for me, Zhang Shaofu doesn't know if he is free, can he accompany Taifu to go with him." ”

Zhang Qiyu was still thinking about how Emperor Yan could suddenly agree to a long-term alliance with the Song Kingdom, but now when he heard that Xiao Che asked him to accompany Shi Luosheng to Youguo Temple, he couldn't help but light up in the eyes. Xiao Che, Ning Zefeng, and Liu Zixuan are not here, this is an excellent opportunity to assassinate Shi Luosheng, Zhang Qiyu immediately replied: "Of course I am free, Taifu wants to visit, Qi Yu should accompany him, but please wait a while, I will go back and explain, after half an hour, how about we will make peace in the east of the city?" ”

Shi Luosheng naturally agreed, looking at Zhang Qiyu's back, Xiao Che said: "Zhang Qiyu will definitely go back to arrange the killer, I will go to the Lord of Ningmen now, and ask him to invite Emperor Yan to go to Youguo Temple as well, this time Zhang Qiyu can be regarded as calculating himself." ”

Half an hour later, Shi Luosheng and Zhang Qiyu came to Youguo Temple, Youguo Temple existed before the founding of Yan State, Yan Guo built the capital in Anyang, also upgraded Youguo Temple to the National Temple, although the temple is not too big, but the building is extremely majestic, the pilgrims who come and go on weekdays are also very many, every year on the first day of the first month, the emperors of Yan will come to Youguo Temple to pray for blessings, and the usual large and small sacrificial activities are also placed in Youguo Temple.

The two walked around the temple for half an hour, and Zhang Qiyu took Shi Luosheng to a no-man's place behind the mountain and stopped, and asked, "I heard that Taifu went to Xu County three months ago?" ”

Shi Luo ascended to his heart and said, this Zhang Qiyu is finally going to have a showdown, so he replied: "Yes, I accompanied His Royal Highness the Crown Prince once, why did Shaofu suddenly ask about this?" ”

Zhang Qiyu said lightly: "Neizi is actually also from the Song Kingdom, and her hometown is in Xu County. ”

Shi Luosheng pretended to be an accident and said: "I see, no wonder Shaofu has this question, in the past, the people of Xu County were going to be exploited by the Tian family, but now the Tian family's power in Xu County has collapsed, and the people's lives are much richer than before, and the life of my sister-in-law's maiden family will not be bad, right?" ”

Zhang Qiyu said with some sarcasm: "Neiko is a member of the Tian family, and her father is Tian Yufeng, but unfortunately the family that was harmed by Taifu was ruined." For this reason, Neiko was also heartbroken, and was sick in bed for three months, Qi Yu looked so distressed, if he couldn't kill Taifu today to avenge his father-in-law, Qi Yu was really ashamed to be a husband. ”

Shi Luosheng asked, "Shaofu is telling me this now, it seems that he is 100% sure that he will keep me here?"

Zhang Qiyu said: "Qi Yu is just a civil official, and he has no power to restrain the chicken, how can he kill the Taifu." But fortunately, there are a lot of enemies of Taifu, and someone has asked me to help him create an opportunity to kill you these days, but unfortunately I have been invited several times in the past few days, and Taifu has not been fooled, fortunately, God has eyes, today the third prince asked me to accompany you to Youguo Temple, this is my last chance, otherwise when you return to the Song Kingdom, there is the prince and General Deng to support you, and it will be even more difficult to kill you. ”

As soon as Zhang Qiyu's words fell, Layton walked out from behind the mountain. Zhang Qiyu continued: "Taifu still knows Elder Lei, you killed so many people from their Hidden Star Sect, including the two hall masters of the Flying Star Hall, Elder Lei has been looking for you to take revenge. ”

Shi Luosheng sneered: "Zhang Shaofu, with your ability, you naturally know that you can't kill me with just one Layton, so you might as well show your back hand together." ”

Zhang Qiyu was not surprised, clapped his hands, and an army rushed out in front of the temple, surrounding the mountain behind him tightly. Three people came in front of him, the first of whom was dressed in military uniforms, and arched his hand at Zhang Qiyu and said: "Zhang Shaofu, this general was ordered to come to help you, the back mountain has been surrounded by us, and a bird doesn't want to fly out." The two behind me are two brothers, Zhao Yan and Zhao Yu, both of whom are masters of Wujimen. ”

Zhang Qiyu arched his hand towards the Zhao brothers and said, "Qi Yu thanked the two of you for their help first. After speaking, he said to Leighton: "Elder Lei, the enemy is already in front of you, why don't you do it yet?" ”

Layton glanced at Shi Luosheng with inquiring eyes, Shi Luosheng estimated the time, and slashed at Layton with his palm, and the two fought both real and fake.

At the same time, Ning Zefeng pulled Emperor Yan Zhu Tingxun on the way to Youguo Temple. Originally, Zhu Tingxun, who had met Xiao Che, was reviewing the chapter, and it didn't take long for Ning Zefeng to come and ask him to go to Youguo Temple now, saying that a big event would happen. Although Ning Zefeng has no official position, Zhu Tingxun's trust in Ning Zefeng is still above Ning Zeping, the Ghost Shadow Gate is a Jianghu sect on the surface, but in fact, it is still a spy agency of the Yan Kingdom, and most of the intelligence work of the Yan Kingdom is in charge of the Ghost Shadow Gate. Now seeing that Ning Zefeng let himself go to Youguo Temple so solemnly, Zhu Tingxun couldn't help but pay attention to it, put down the work at hand, and went with Ning Zefeng.
