On the day when Xu Qing accompanied Li Rui back to the door (Guining), King Yan told Xu Qing that Li Lin had been arrested and was locked in the room to think about it, and when she figured it out, he sent her to Xu Qing, and Xu Qing was determined to be his wife and concubine. Li Lin is the county lord, and was married to Xu Qing by King Yan, and everyone in Fan Yang knows this, even if Li Lin doesn't like Xu Qing, it is impossible for King Yan to marry Li Lin to others, so he has no choice but to cheap Xu Qing, so that Xu Qing has a three-county lord, and Fan Yang is a beautiful crown.

Yin Jiajie abducted the county lord and eloped, which not only violated national law but also violated military discipline, and also embarrassed King Yan. When the officers and soldiers pursued Li Lin and Yin Jiajie, Li Lin tried his best to cover Yin Jiajie's escape, but Li Lin was captured and Yin Jiajie fled. On the one hand, King Yan sent a master to continue to chase and kill Yin Jiajie at the ends of the earth, and on the other hand, he sent an official document to the Criminal Department, requesting the Ministry of Criminal Affairs to assist in the arrest of Yin Jiajie throughout the country.

Li Lin escaped from marriage, which made Xu Qing feel embarrassed, no matter how beautiful she looked, Xu Qing's anger towards her would take a while to disappear, let her dry for a few months first, anyway, Li Lin is Xu Qingming's wife, but she didn't get married, King Yan is already in the same boat as Xu Qing, Li Lin's sweetheart Yin Jiajie has become a wanted criminal, and he is desperate, and it is unlikely that he will abduct Li Lin again, Fan Yang and other men who don't know Xu Qing's name, who dares to rob women with Xu Qing, unless he doesn't want to live.

Xu Qing was very satisfied with King Yan's handling of Li Lin, and secretly praised King Yan in his heart for being a master in the political arena, exquisite in all directions, and knowing the trade-offs. Taking advantage of the fact that King Yan felt sorry for Li Lin's escape from marriage, Xu Qing made two bold and excessive demands to King Yan:

First, stop robbing the people's daughters, and no longer harm the people, otherwise Xu Qing will not stand idly by;

Second, let King Yan put pressure on Dong Yuanshan, let Dong Yuanshan cancel the marriage contract between the second daughter Dong Bijun and Mu Jiandao, the palace master of the Mili Palace, and marry Dong Bijun to Xu Qing. The reason given by Xu Qing was that King Yan was the envoy of Fanyang Jiedu and was the most powerful king in the Tang Dynasty, and if the emperor no longer trusted King Yan, King Yan would become the target of Empress Wu's purge, and he would not be able to stay in Fanyang, so moving to Goguryeo and Baekje, and then annexing Silla was the only way out. As one of the main arms suppliers of the Tang Dynasty, Mingjian Villa has been responsible for the supply of weapons to the Tang army in Fanyang and Liaodong, and if Dong Yuanshan can be subdued, the hope of success will be doubled. ”

Xu Qing never said who set himself up as the king, King Yan has 100,000 elite soldiers, and a huge wealth accumulated over the years, he doesn't know that Xu Qing has two regiments of the new army that can use both hot and cold weapons, the submachine gun is about to be imitated successfully, and the 20,000 taels of gold robbed from the original gang have not been used, whether it is military strength or wealth, it is better than him, and he takes it for granted that Xu Qing, as the son-in-law who got his three daughters, will definitely support him to secede North Korea and establish himself as the king, and he doesn't know that Xu Qing is just using him, just dragging time.

As long as Xu Qing has a good relationship with King Yan, develops his power freely in Fanyang, and keeps the secret of the Yanshan base, and after the submachine gun is successfully imitated, he will have an invincible army in the world.

As the father of his daughter, King Yan doesn't want his daughter to share their husband with one more woman for no reason, but King Yan, as the king of the Li Tang royal family, has a strong sense of mission to protect the status of the Li Tang royal family, as a politician, he used disguise to confuse Wu Zetian and bear the scolding of the people of Fanyang, it can be said that he endured humiliation and burden, sacrificed his daughter's interests in exchange for greater interests, he thought it was worth it, so he agreed to Xu Qing's request.

As for robbing the people's daughters, King Yan is not bad in nature, he doesn't want to rob the people's daughters, thinking that Sun Bin pretended to be crazy and stupid in order to survive (see Historical Records. Sun Tzu Wu Qi Lie), Yan Wang pretending to be a bad guy is a last resort. Since Xu Qing was chivalrous and opposed King Yan to rob the people's daughters, King Yan didn't want to fall out with Xu Qing because of this matter, so he agreed to Xu Qing's request.

A few days ago, Xu Qing asked Li Lin to scare King Yan by saying that the emperor did not trust King Yan, and at the same time drew a big piece of cake to tempt King Yan by separating North Korea, King Yan impulsively agreed to Xu Qing's proposal without thinking, but King Yan is finally a well-informed, wise and brave person, after a few days of calm thinking, he thought of two questions, and asked Xu Qing face to face before Xu Qing went to Chang'an.

King Yan said: "I have two questions, I hope you will turn back truthfully to solve the confusion in my heart." ”

Xu Qing replied: "What is the problem, father-in-law, please talk about it." ”

King Yan said: "First question, why do you know so much about the emperor, the martial queen and me?" ”

Xu Qing thought for a while and said, "Because I am an astrology master and can know the past and future astrology masters, I know you all about the emperor, the martial queen and you. ”

Astrologers are a rare species respected by the emperor to the people, the entire Tang Dynasty can not find a few astrologers, a few astrologers are offered by the emperor as a treasure, in the event of large-scale wars, water, drought, wind, insect disasters and other natural disasters and solar eclipses, lunar eclipses, meteorite falls and other abnormal phenomena, predict good luck and answer the people's doubts, King Yan said in surprise: "Astrologers? You're so young, you're an astrologer? Who did you learn from? ”

Xu Qing said: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed, it is not yet the time for you to know, please ask your father-in-law to keep a tight mouth about this matter, otherwise it will bring you disaster." ”

King Yan said helplessly: "Okay, I'll listen to you." The second question is why do you know so much about the situation in North Korea, did you go to North Korea? ”

Xu Qing replied: "The answer is the same as just now, I am an omniscient astrologer, and I know the situation in North Korea with a finger. ”

The actual situation is that because Yan Susu was investigating Silla's undercover Mei family in Datang, Xu Qing sent someone to secretly go to the archives of the Fanyang government to peek at Yan Susu's household registration information, and could not find Yan Susu's parents, so Xu Qing suspected that Yan Susu was a native of one of the three countries of former Goguryeo, former Baekje, and Silla on the Korean Peninsula.

In order to investigate the identity of Yan Susu, Xu Qing sent many intelligence officers to the Korean Peninsula, although the identity of Yan Susu was not found, but collected a lot of intelligence information, and learned about the Tang Dynasty's conquest, occupation and rule of Goguryeo and Baekje, and then Goguryeo and Baekje broke out to rebel against the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang army guarding Goguryeo and Baekje withdrew from Goguryeo and Baekje, and relocated the highest military and administrative agency that ruled Goguryeo and Baekje to Liaodong (now Northeast China).

Xu Qing not only regretted that two of the three kingdoms of the Korean Peninsula occupied by the Tang Dynasty and administered military jurisdiction did not trust the leading generals with outstanding military talents in front of them, and retreated from Goguryeo and Baekje in the face of the rebellion of the Goguryeo and Baekje people, thus causing future generations of China to lose the opportunity to occupy and rule the Korean Peninsula forever!

It was precisely because of his understanding of history and the strategic significance of the Korean Peninsula to China, coupled with the fact that the dialogue between Kim Fa-cun and Mei Yong, the secret envoy of the king of Silla, exposed Silla's ambitions, that Xu Qing greatly predetermined his plan to conquer the entire Korean Peninsula. Jointly occupying the Korean Peninsula with King Yan is an option, if King Yan can't do anything, or is timid and does not dare to act, then Xu Qing will do it alone.

King Yan was dissatisfied with Xu Qing's incomplete answer, but he did not suspect that Xu Qing was lying, because Xu Qing was too strong, so strong that it was beyond King Yan's ability to understand, and he could only believe that Xu Qing was an astrologer who could know the past and the future. Knowing that Xu Qing was going to Chang'an soon, and he couldn't see him for a long time, King Yan asked Xu Qing to tell him his fortune, Xu Qing flickered King Yan and said: "You have been alternating bad luck in recent years, it depends on how you go, if you go well, you will soar, and if you don't go well, you will have a bloody disaster." ”

King Yan had a heart and begged Xu Qing to show him the way, Xu Qing said: "You must be cautious every step you take, see clearly before walking, so that you will not fall off the cliff." Xu Qing just fooled King Yan, casually said, how do you know that the speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, King Yan will Xu Qing's words as the instructions of the gods, from the "Qing" of seeing "Qing", thinking of Xu "Qing" of "Qing", thinking that he must see Xu Qing's face, only Xu Qing's horse is the first to look forward, and only in the future can he have good luck and avoid bad luck.

After negotiating with King Yan, after lunch, Xu Qing returned to the Longmen Dart Bureau from King Yan's Mansion accompanied by the guards, and Li Rui stayed at her mother's house. Xu Qing heard someone playing the piano, the piano music was extremely resentful, and the listener was sad, so he involuntarily stepped forward and found that it was Mei Kaifang who was stroking the piano alone. When I first met Mei Kai, she was radiant and radiant, like now, with a sad look, listless, and dull eyes, like a serious illness.

Seeing Mei Kaifang's pitiful appearance, Xu Qing felt uncomfortable, such an ending was not what he wanted to see. Xu Qing only maintained enthusiasm for Mei Kaifang for three days, so he snubbed Mei Kaifang and ignored it, Mei Kaifang was already very sad, in recent days, Xu Qing has held a happy event, and married Li Rui, the lord of the Tang Dynasty who is better than Mei Kaifang in appearance and family background, Mei Kaifang is particularly sad.

Mei Kaifang saw that Xu Qing finally stepped into the house after two months, and she was overjoyed, stopped playing the piano, got up from the chair and said, "You're back!" ”

Xu Qing said: "Well, I'm not here to look for you, I just happened to pass by here and heard you playing the piano, so I came over to have a look." ”

Mei Kaifang was like being poured a basin of cold water on her head, her heart was half cold, and she looked at Xu Qing blankly.

Xu Qing also felt uncomfortable in her heart, and said: "Miss Mei, our fate is over, I hope you face the reality, cheer up again, forget me, I am not a generous man, I can't forgive you for the mistakes you made to me, I don't deserve your love." You are young and should go looking for your future, your future outside this yard, not inside it. ”

Mei Kaifang said: "I can't forget you, you are my only man." You let me go out and find my future, where is my future? My future lies with you! A good horse doesn't care about the second master, a good woman doesn't care about the second husband, I will never remarry, if you want me to remarry, I'd rather die. ”

Xu Qing said: "Don't threaten me with death at every turn, you wanted to poison me at the beginning, but today you are looking for death and life for me, don't you think it's ironic?" ”

Mei Kaifang said: "I have explained to you many times, and I beg you to forgive many times, I spend every day in remorse, I can't sleep at night, I always wake up with tears and pillows, I have been retributed." Why do you hate me so much and refuse to forgive me? ”

Xu Qingdao said: "In this world, you can buy anything, but you can't buy regret medicine." Don't blame me for being ruthless, you did it yourself. ”

Mei Kaifang said: "I know you hate me, but it's been so long, why can't you let go of your hatred?" You loved me too, do you dare not admit it? Do you dare to swear to God that you never loved me? ”

Xu Qing was silent.

Mei Kaifang said: "After so long, you remember your hatred for me, why don't you remember your love for me?" ”

Xu Qing had nothing to say.

Mei Kaifang said: "I don't mind if you are good with other women, as long as you still treat me as your wife, and take a little time to spend with me every month, even if it is only one day, I will be satisfied." It's not hard for you to do, but it's important to me. You don't know what kind of life I've been living in the past two months, I've been tormented physically and mentally, and I've been living like years, and in the long run, I think I'm going to die of depression. Can you bear to see me die of depression? ”

Xu Qing said: "You don't mind if I'm good with other women, but other women don't mind if I'm good with you." Your vile and filthy soul has defiled the beautiful appearance that God has given you, and I feel disgusted when I think about it, how can I reconcile with you? Don't dream! ”

Mei Kaifang felt that her heart was dripping blood, and said, "Xu Qing, you have changed!" Becoming more and more ruthless, more and more ruthless, you are no longer the Xu Qing I knew at the beginning. ”

Xu Qing said: "After being in the rivers and lakes for a long time, I have seen more killings and more deaths, and people have become numb and ruthless, which is normal." ”

Mei Kaifang said: "No, this is not normal, I am not your enemy, you shouldn't be so ruthless to me!" We have worshipped, you have obtained my perfect body, and then abandoned me like a shoe, you are so ruthless! ”

Xu Qing said: "I don't want to tell you more, I'm like this to you, it's useless for you to say anything!" ”

Xu Qing said and turned to leave. Mei Kaifang looked at Xu Qing's disappearing door in a daze. The houses are heavy, the courtyard is deep, where is the beloved?
