Spring returns to the earth, and all things are revived. The cold winter of the first year of Qingyuan has completely disappeared without realizing it in Shandong. It was not until Ye Qing, who was in March of the second year of Qingyuan, and he set off slowly for Chang'an.

Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Can did not follow Ye Qing to go, but stayed in Jinan Prefecture. The reason given by Ye Qing was that the assassination of the Mongolians before the New Year made him worried that Zhong Qing and others who were left in Jinan were left.

But obviously this reason cannot convince Yelu Chucai, who has been suspicious since the Yuan Dynasty, but Yelu Chucai did not question Ye Qing's motive.

Following Ye Qing in Jinan Prefecture these days, he could clearly feel that the entire northern region was completely a powerful local force established by Ye Qing, so no matter where Ye Qing went, where should be the focus of others' attention. Without Ye Qing's place, it would obviously become less important in an instant.

Zhu Shijie, Yelu Chucai, and Jia She, who led 3,000 Hua family troops, began to advance westward under the leadership of Ye Qing. As the weather warmed up, on the way from Jinan to Lin'an, you can see the figures of people who have begun to be busy in the fields, whether it is a ox cart or a donkey cart, or the people who bent over the fields, as well as the plants that emerged from the ground with green, and the trees on the roadside that gradually sprouted new buds, as if they were full of spring vitality and leisure.

Or as usual, Kaifeng and Luoyang are like forbidden lands to Ye Qing. No matter when they pass by, Ye Qing never stays too much.

After the Yuan Dynasty, the court had issued an order to agree to King Qing's previous suggestion to establish Kaifeng as the capital. Therefore, on the way to Kaifeng, Ye Qing could naturally see some officials from the Lin'an court going north to Kaifeng Prefecture, one by one, in carriages to drag their families with their families, as if they were migrating.

Ye Qing handed over Zhu Shijie and his wife to King Qing. According to the conditions that Ye Qing had communicated with King Qing before, he sent Zhu Shijie into the office of the small household department that would be located in Kaifeng next.

After only three days of residence in Kaifeng Prefecture, Ye Qing continued to rush along the Yellow River. In mid-April of the second year of Qingyuan, when spring plowing was coming to an end, Ye Qing and Yelu Chucai also slowly entered Chang'an City.

Everything I saw from Jinan to Chang'an did not leave any deep impression on Yelu Chucai. In the eyes of Yelu Chucai, the states and counties in the northern regions that were not rich, were not essentially different from those in the Jin Dynasty.

This also made Yelu Chucai confused and had a question mark on his head. He didn't think that even such a not-rich northern land could defeat the Jin Kingdom, and even shocked the Jin Kingdom. Now he didn't even have the courage to go south to conquer again.

Beidi has been back in the hands of Song Ting for many years, and Yelu Chucai had never been to Beidi any way before, so he could not compare the current Beidi with the Beidi under the rule of the Jin people.

However, there are actually many things that can be compared. For example, Ye Qing's Northern Expedition and regained these northern territory, it took much longer than when the Jin people advanced south.

The Jingkang Incident, which was defined as the shame of the Song court, took only two years to seize all the territory north of the Huai River in the Song court.

Looking at the towering Chang'an city walls, although Yelu Chucai was unwilling to accept it, he had to admit that Chang'an, which was more majestic than under the rule of the Jin people, would be difficult to be taken away by the Jin Kingdom again.

He did not participate in the battle of Yanzhou, but he naturally knew in Yanjing that the battle between Jin and Song ended with peace talks. Neither of them could take advantage of the other party, and in the end he threw the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers into the surging Yellow River.

Yu Yunwen was not curious that Ye Qing brought Yelu Chucai, nor was he curious that Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Can did not come. After looking at each other tacitly, they led the crowd to the city.

However, I haven't arrived in Chang'an in just over a year. Although Chang'an is still in a process of being in trouble, it can be seen that under the leadership of Lu Yanlun and Xiao Zhen, Chang'an has begun to slowly restore his former glory.

He did not greet Yu Yunwen more. After Jia She led three thousand soldiers of the Hua family army to the barracks in the city and handed over Yelu Chucai to Yu Yunwen to resettle, Ye Qing couldn't wait to run to his mansion.

The closer he got to Chang'an, the more urgent Lord Ye was, and he even wanted to fly to the mansion immediately to see the little guy named Ye Chuxue, and what expression he would look like when he saw him.

Bai Chun, Honglou and other maids, the servants had already been waiting at the door of the mansion. Ye Chuxue, who was held in the arms of Honglou, looked at the people standing at the door with a blank look, and his black eyes looked back and forth at the people standing at the door, or curiously looking at the empty streets and alleys, and then turned his head and looked over with the sound coming from not far away.

The carriage slowly stopped at the door of the mansion, and Ye Qing couldn't wait to jump off the carriage. It seemed that there was no change compared to the way he had left before. Even his gray hair seemed to have reborn with a lot of black hair, no longer as dazzling as when he left just now.

Bai Chun was gentle and bowed to the fast-walking Ye Qing with Honglou and others. Her eyes were filled with joy and tenderness. Honglou stood aside and hugged Ye Chuxue, who was obviously unable to react in her arms, and said in a low voice with a confused Xiaoxue, who was whispering, "Xiaoxue'er has seen her father..."

"I'm wearing a tiger-headed and very cute." Ye Qing looked at Ye Chuxue who put one hand in his mouth, and was about to reach out to hug him, when Xiao Xueer in Honglou's arms turned her head, obviously not willing to approach strangers.

"My husband has worked hard all the way." Bai Chun said with a happy smile on his face.

Ye Qing looked at the little guy turning his head and ignored him, then put down his outstretched arm and walked into the mansion with Bai Chun and others.

At this time, in the Xiping Prefecture of Anxi Protectorate, Li Heng brought Lan'er to the small courtyard of Yelu Yuedu Bureau. Although the Central Plains are as warm as spring, they are far away in Anxi, as cold as winter in the morning and night.

"I've met my sister-in-law." Li Heng saluted Lan'er, and then Liu Lan'er sat down next to Yelu Yue, and Li Heng sat down alone.

"Mr. Ye has returned to Chang'an. I guess my sister-in-law already knows it?" Li Heng asked with a smile.

Yelu Yue nodded slightly. Since he came to Xiping Prefecture, especially since he met nearly 10,000 people including Shangbashihei, Yelu Yue's brows have never been relaxed. Even if the 10,000 people including Bashihei have been camping in Xiping Prefecture safely, Yelu Yue's heart is still very heavy.

"Time flies so fast, like a blink of an eye, three or four months passed like this." Yelu Yue glanced at Lan'er, and then asked Li Heng: "What do you think of Batshehei's person?"

It has been nearly a month since Batshei Hei arrived at Xiping Prefecture from the Mongols' iron cavalry. This was a good thing that should have made Yelu Yue breathe a sigh of relief, but this period has become a huge worry in Yelu Yue's heart.

Zalanding fled westward, hoping to rebuild the Great Liao Kingdom on more western lands again. Bashihei went eastward, with a clear purpose point to joining her, Princess Chengli. However, in the past month of contact, Yelu Yue discovered that Bashihei's purpose was no different from Zalanding who fled westward.

Deep down in Yelu Yue's heart, she thought about restoring the country and the Liao Dynasty, but she also knew that under the current situation, how easy is it to restore the country?

Even if Yelu Yue raised her arms and shouted, she was not very confident. She believed that the Liao people, who were about to be divided, would gather under her command and resist the Mongols with her. Moreover, the Mongols are so powerful that even Ye Qing was extremely afraid of them, and even the Mongols could not be investigated.

Is this the same character as Ye Qing? Does this fit the character of Song Ting Beidi, who is now equally powerful? The answer is obviously no.

Yelu Yue also knew that Ye Qing did not take revenge or pursue the assassination of the Mongols was not entirely because he was afraid of the strength of the Mongols, but naturally there were other reasons.

But on the other hand, if the Mongols were a mess or as fragile as the Jin people at the moment, even if Ye Qing had some concerns about the overall situation, would he still tolerate it as he is today and not pursue it? The answer is also no. After all, the demise of the Xia Kingdom is a living example.

The Xia people wanted to get rid of Ye Qing in Guanshan, but Ye Qing survived. Obviously, this is the real reason for the fall of Xia.

It can naturally be seen from this that Ye Qing is definitely a vengeful person, but when dealing with the Mongols, he took a completely different approach, which is enough to prove that the Mongols are definitely not as easy as Xia people.

Yelu Yue was powerless to restore the country. In addition, after giving birth to a daughter for Ye Qing and having already decided that Ye Qing was her husband, although his thoughts on restoring the country would often appear in his heart, it became increasingly weak.

Based on Yelu Yue's previous understanding of Zalanding, Zalanding wanted to restore the country not because he was so loyal to the Liao Dynasty, but because he wanted to live a seclusion and wanted to take advantage of the unwillingness of the Liao people to achieve his dream of becoming a king when the Liao Dynasty was just conquered by the Mongols.

Such a motive was also looming in Bashin Hei, who defected to her, which made Yelu Yue have to wonder whether Bashin Hei had the same purpose as Zalanding, but compared to Zalanding, Bashin Hei was obviously more cunning. He obviously wanted to use her identity as Princess Chengli, the royal family of Liao Kingdom, to make him more confident in establishing a country and becoming an emperor.

So in Yelu Yue's current view, Bashin Hei is not so much for him to come... He wants to use Yelu Yue's royal identity to coerce Yelu Yue to help him become emperor.

"Or it's in Xiping Prefecture..." Li Heng couldn't help but make a move to wipe his neck when he heard Yelu Yue's helplessness sighing.

"Brother Ye doesn't let you come to Xiping Mansion, don't let you pick up Bashihei, or even Li Heng helps. I'm afraid I've seen through Bashihei's purpose. Maybe I just don't want to make things difficult for you, sister-in-law, so I didn't tell you the truth. Bashihei's idea is an ambitious person. It's less than a month since I came to Xiping Mansion, I've started to secretly go in and out of other barracks in secret. Several soldiers have realized Bashihei's purpose is to win them over."

Liu Lan'er ignored Li Heng as he signaled not to say anything, and continued to say to Yelu Yue: "Several soldiers from Xiping Prefecture have reported this to Li Heng, saying that in private, Ba Tshehei took the opportunity to invite them to drink with him, and sister-in-law, you, Princess Chengli, took the opportunity to recruit them for his use. She even promised that once the Great Liao Kingdom is restored, sister-in-law, you will definitely reward them heavily, and it is not impossible to be a king or a prime minister."

Liu Lan'er's words were very straightforward. Li Heng rolled his eyes helplessly. He proposed to remove Batshei. Although he was also a little direct, he at least left a little face to Yelu Yue. Although Liu Lan'er's words did not mean to accuse Yelu Yue, they still sounded a little harsh.

After all, the 10,000 Liao people including Bashihei were picked up after Yelu Yue came to Xiping Prefecture. Before that, Li Heng, who was guarding Xiping Prefecture, had always been watching the battle between the Mongols and Bashihei outside.

Yelu Yue did not mean to blame Liu Lan'er, and she knew that whether it was Li Heng or Liu Lan'er in front of her, they were actually Ye Qing's true confidants. Moreover, both of them had a very close relationship with Ye Qing before Ye Qing had made a fortune.

This is enough to be seen from Ye Qing handing over the Anxi Protectorate to Li Heng. Moreover, Liu Lan'er also held the trust and intelligence forces given by Bai Chun, so under Ye Qing's command, the couple are definitely the kind of true confidant who will never betray them.

"Maybe your elder brother Ye is in Chang'an, and he is so angry that he is so angry that he is about me coming to Xiping Prefecture in private. No matter what, you can't help me in this matter. Even if I want to ask someone to help, I should look for Ye Qing. The reason why I ask you what you think of Batshehe..." Yelu Yue's expression became a little melancholy, and there was also a hint of unwillingness in her heart. Looking at Li Heng, he said seriously: "Yes, I've also been moved by Batshehe's suggestion. It would be better if I could restore the country, but... I'm afraid that the Mongols are strong, except for Zhong Can and Mo Xiaobao, I'm probably the only one who knows the best. Except for Zhong Can and Mo Xiaobao, I'm afraid that the only one who knows the best whether the Mongols are strong is, besides Zhong Can and Mo Xiaobao, I'm afraid that only I know the best.

. A few years ago, I did not fail to lead the Wujiang Army, Zhong Can and Mo Xiaobao fought with the Mongols. They were indeed powerful existences on the grassland. If it weren't for the Hua-planting family army led by Zhong Can and Mo Xiaobao, the Wujiang Army would probably not be the opponent of the Mongols. The demise of the Great Liao Kingdom under the Mongols' iron cavalry cannot blame anyone, we can only blame ourselves. But it is precisely because of the fight with the Mongols in those years that I did not have the confidence to carry the Eight Thorns and Black, Yelu Yixue restored the country, because even when the Liao Kingdom was not destroyed, the tribes were already divided. If I wanted to restore the country at this time, it would be harder to climb to heaven."

Although Yelu Yue said this, Liu Lan'er, as a woman, could still keenly feel that Yelu Yue's heart was filled with a deep reluctance.

But because Ye Qing's attention is not on Mongolia, and Ye Qing has no idea of ​​helping Yelu Yue restore the country, his attention is still on the Lin'an court behind him and the Jin people who have given the Song court more humiliation, so neither Liu Lan'er nor Li Heng, there is no suitable language to comfort Yelu Yue at this moment.

"I never expected my husband to help me restore my country." As if I knew what Liu Lan'er and Li Heng were thinking, Yelu Yue continued after pausing: "Even if the Great Liao Kingdom is different from the Great Liao Kingdom that bullied the Song court back then, if Ye Qing helped me restore my country, it would only put him under greater pressure in the Lin'an court."

"Sister-in-law..." Liu Lan'er felt a little unbearable, and shouted lightly at Yelu Yue who was melancholy and helpless.

Yelu Yue shook her head at Liu Lan'er and said that she was fine. After a bitter smile, she continued, "I came to you and my wife today to apologize to you, because I was willing to respond to Bashihei and others, which caused many inconveniences to Xiping Prefecture and almost caused panic among the people of Xiping Prefecture. It shouldn't be..."

"Sister-in-law, you don't have to do this..." Lan'er said hurriedly to Yelu Yue, winking at Li Heng, but Li Heng was a little helpless and didn't know what to say.

After all, since Batami Hei arrived in Xiping Prefecture, some of the uneasiness brought to the various camps does exist. Although it is not serious, it does not mean that no one does not want to take advantage of the opportunity to restore the Liao Kingdom and embark on the road of glory and wealth of being the king and minister.

"In a few days, I will take Bashin Hei to Chang'an, and most of the people will stay in Xiping Prefecture and hand it over to General Li for disposal. When there is nothing wrong these days, I will take you to meet other generals of the 10,000 people. I hope you can..."

"Sister-in-law, you mean..." Liu Lan'er stood up next to her in surprise and joy, looking at Yelu Yue in disbelief and asked.

"Although I also want to restore the country, I don't want to be a pawn in the hands of others." Yelu Yue smiled relievedly and said, "This is just to give you some compensation in Xiping Prefecture. I just hope that after I leave Xiping Prefecture, General Li can treat them equally like the soldiers of the Song army."

"This... this is not suitable... Maybe I'll notify Ye Qing first..." Li Heng said in surprise. Yelu Yue's words were already very clear. He planned to give up more than 10,000 Liao soldiers and then give them to Xiping Prefecture, so that he could all be incorporated into the Song army.
