Fighting with the sky, the earth, and people will bring endless joy.

Obviously, a person's fighting spirit will change with the changes in the environment. In struggle, a person can be strong in fighting spirit and can also make a person lose all his thoughts.

In the court, in the battlefield, and between shopping malls, even if you want to be kind to others all the time, there will always be times when you can't help yourself.

When water flows to the lower part and people walk to the higher part, no one is born full of fighting spirit. Even those founding monarchs, court pillars, and shopping mall tycoons often achieve great achievements because of the inadvertent promotion of the environment, people, things and things around them.

The sword is sharpened by sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. Ye Qing is obviously more clear about this rule.

In July of the fifth year of Qingyuan, Lulong City, which can be regarded as the most important city behind the Song Ting Pass, has regained its due tranquility since the Yan King Ye Qing left for a short time.

Although you can often see Yuguan soldiers wearing military uniforms in the streets and alleys of Lulong City, most of the time those who appear in Lulong City are soldiers who have never worn armor and have not even carried weapons.

It is also because of the relaxed appearance of these soldiers in the city that the heavy city behind Lu Long, the fortress, does not have much military-related atmosphere.

Although Lulong City is not big, it is also lively. In addition, merchants who come out of the Song and Jin dynasties often choose to use Lulong as their only place to rest and rest after entering and leaving Yuguan, so the commerce in Lulong City is more lively than before.

Regarding this phenomenon, the officials in Lulong City were not Lulong's prefecture and other officials, but the few noble people who had been staying there since following the King of Yan.

Although these noble people rarely show up in the city on weekdays, their low-key behavior does not mean that they don’t know Lu Long. Although they only have only been here for more than a month, compared with Lu Long in their cognition at that time, it can be immediately judged that Lu Long is now really giving people a sense of vitality.

A few days ago, the King of Yan stayed in Lu Long's house. Although it was now empty, the more profound and Jiangnan style house next to it has always been inhabited.

The huge house covers dozens of acres of land, and whether it is pavilions, pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, it can be seen here, even the Taihu stone used to build Gen Garden in the capital for the Song Dynasty.

It’s just that the Taihu stone used to view here did not come from the Song court, but from the Jin people who were expelled from Yuguan and bought it from Yanjing by Lulong’s government.

Everything here is both familiar and unfamiliar to Li Shier. What is unfamiliar is that this place is no longer her country. What is familiar is that these Taihu stones are still so beautiful and amazing.

The reeds are green and the white dew turns into frost. The so-called beauty is on the side of the water. Follow it upstream, the road is blocked and long. Follow it upstream, and it seems to be in the middle of the water...

The singing stopped abruptly in Li Shi'er's thoughts, and the footsteps rang out quickly behind Li Shi'er. One of the only two eunuchs beside him quickly led Monk Wanyan Chen to the pavilion where Li Shi'er was.

Li Shi'er did not turn around, and her eyes slowly moved from the Taihu stone in the lake to the colorful flowers in front of her. The flowers and birds were singing around her. There were also fish in the lake. A breeze mixed with the fragrance of soil and the fragrance of flowers blew by. The hair on her forehead danced gently, gently caressing Li Shi'er's fair forehead.

Although it was not long since I came to Lu Long, compared to the house prepared by Ye Qing in Yanjing, the house here was obviously more popular with Li Shi'er.

Although Yanjing is prosperous in a big city, everything there has been an inexplicable sense of depression for Li Shier since the Song Dynasty took over. Although every grass, tree, flower and stone there is particularly familiar, it seems to have invisible thorns, which is particularly tormenting, making people feel breathless because they see the old things.

But Lu Long is different from Yanjing. Although it is also the territory of the Song court, this small town is a pure land, especially the world of his own. No one will ever disturb him, nor will anyone intrigue with him or plot against him everywhere.

Even after Lu Long's time was a little longer, Li Shi'er was about to forget the responsibilities she shouldered and the heavy responsibility of avenging the late emperor.

It was like a paradise, which made her very willing to swim her thoughts in this world. Just like the flying birds, her thoughts could happily wander over this world, watch water, enjoy flowers, listen to the piano, or stare at a certain place, let alone worry about someone coming to disturb her.

What Li Shi'er likes the most was a drizzle a few days ago, which not only washed the entire house and the city, but also sublimated her mood.

Especially the green smoke rose, the fragrance of tea was faint, there was a breeze and drizzle in front of the window, the sound of wind chimes sounded in my ears, the gray sky and rain clouds danced, the whole world seemed to stop in the rustling drizzle and breeze, as if all this was for her, Li Shier, everything was so quiet and peaceful.

It was raining and moved into the depths of Li Shi'er's heart, like a lover who was missing after parting. From time to time, I hoped to get the drizzle again, so that I could learn from the Jiangnan woman, holding an oil-paper umbrella, wearing a floor-length skirt, wandering between the alleys, and looking down at the hem of the skirt from time to time.

Then, looking at the lake where the rain was rippled, letting my thoughts fly with carefree eyes and glanced at the distance without any worries.

"The jade seal was returned to Wanyan Xun the day before yesterday." Monk Wanyan Chen's voice sounded behind Li Shi'er.

"Is that true?" Li Shi'er looked neither sad nor happy, and she could even vaguely see that there was a smile on her fair and beautiful face.

"It seems that Ye Qing and Wanyan Xun join forces are a foregone conclusion. And..." Monk Wanyan Chen looked at the somewhat weak shoulders, a little reluctant to speak but stopped.

"What else?" Li Shi'er turned around, smiled, and then sat down in the pavilion. The table in front of her was still lit with incense, and the green smoke could be seen, but the cup of tea had been cold for a long time.

"The Mongols had left Huining, just the day Ye Qing returned the jade seal to Wanyan Xun. The Goryeo stayed in Huining, but it was clear that Cui Zhongxian and his son were the traitors who joined forces with Wanyan Xun." When Monk Wanyan Chen mentioned Cui Zhongxian and his son, murderous aura appeared on his face.

Li Shi'er looked up sharply at Monk Wanyan Chen, then lowered her head and smiled: "Sit down and talk."

"I dare not..." Monk Wanyan Chen said hurriedly.

The smile on the corner of Li Shi'er's mouth spread. The cup of herbal tea was poured out by her own hands. Then she started to make tea again. Although she did not like drinking tea as much as Ye Qing, Li Shi'er now likes making tea quite a lot. Especially when she looked at the tender buds, her mood seemed to be better as she slowly spread in the water.

"Did Ye Qing send a message?" Seeing that Monk Wanyan and Chen did not sit, Li Shi'er did not force it.

"The slaves of Qishilie are now guarding Changling. Ye Qing means... The slaves of Qishilie are obviously not fully trusted by Wanyan Xun. The reason why he was asked to confront Changling and Yelu Liuge is the best evidence. However... he has secretly sent someone to contact Qishilie's slaves. As for what his attitude will be, there is no reply yet." Monk Wanyan Chen said truthfully.

"Will he hand me over to Wanyan Xun?" Li Shi'er looked up, her lively and bright eyes looked particularly distressing.

Monk Wanyan Chen shook his head, then lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Ye Qing means... he will let Wanyan Xun know that you are in Lu Long, but for the time being... there is no plan. However, if Wanyan Xun agrees to his request, it will depend on the situation. It is a fact that the disagreement between the monarch and ministers in Goryeo is true. At present, Wanyan Xun and Ye Qing are pressuring Cui Zhongxian to encourage him to rebel in Goryeo."

"Why didn't the Mongolians tread this muddy water again?" Li Shi'er's thinking was still a little unrestrained.

Monk Wanyan Chen shook his head, then thought for a while and said, "Ye Qing said that his greatest ambition in this life is to be a bandit."

"Call the gang?" Li Shi'er hurriedly put down the teacup and looked down at her slender jade fingers that had been accidentally scalded by hot water: "What do you say?"

"Ye Qing said that one day, he hoped that Goryeo and the Fusang Kingdom further east would be able to call the Song court Song Kou. He said that his greatest ambition in this life was to lead Song to be called Kou and leave a name in the history books of Goryeo and Fusang." Monk Wanyan Chen frowned, and it was difficult to understand Ye Qing's so-called ambitions.

Li Shi'er murmured with the word "Kou" and leaned on her chin with one hand, looking at her fingers that had been scalded by hot water: "If... if... if I give up all my grudges, including avenging the late emperor, will you blame me?"

"Queen..." Monk Wanyan Chen raised his head and said in surprise.

Li Shi'er looked calm, and she was leaning on her chin. Her long eyelashes seemed to be full of sadness. With the decorations of the pavilions and the calm lake behind her, the scene in front of her was like a painting, just the beauty in the painting made people feel distressed.

"I finally understand what Ye Qing said to me at that time." Li Shi'er's eyes were a little empty, blinking her long eyelashes, and continued calmly: "At that time, Ye Qing said that he had reached this point today was not his original intention. Everything was achieved by accident. Yes, he had worked hard, blood, and sometimes even had to pay his life, but in the end all this was not what he wanted at first. As his prestige in the army became higher and higher, as his power grew greater, more and more people gathered under his command. In order not to let these people who followed him to the death, he had to keep his head forward and dare not let himself slack off."

"Maybe Ye Qing's life is not worth it, maybe Ye Qing's life is worth it, but because more and more people follow him, he no longer lives for him alone. He needs to live for his wife and children, and he needs to live for his soldiers and subordinates. He said that he is like a beast. With more fields, the heavier the responsibility on his shoulders. He is afraid that the fields will be abandoned and the crops cannot be harvested, and because of his slackness, he will let down the soldiers and subordinates behind him who expect a good harvest."

"Empress, I think these are all his nonsense and heart-killing words..." Monk Wanyan Chen was even more dissatisfied with Ye Qing. Since the queen arrived in Lu Long, he naturally saw and remembered them in his heart. He originally thought that as long as the situation became clear, the queen would become the queen who was determined to revenge and restore the country.

But now I think it was the mistake of them. Ye Qing's heart-killing words obviously made Queen Li Shi'er more moved than their loyalty, and even more eroded the emperor.

The fighting spirit afterwards.

"You are wrong, what he said is actually my helplessness." Li Shi'er smiled bitterly, with clear and bright eyes: "Isn't that the same now? I am afraid that Kang'er will not grow up, and I am afraid that I will let you down your loyalty. I have to support myself to believe that one day, as a gangster, I will definitely be able to avenge the late emperor, restore the country to the Great Jin Dynasty, and leave a stable country for Kang'er. But... what the late emperor could not do, how could I, a woman, do it?"

"I thought that as long as you have your loyalty, the forbearance of the slaves of the gods of Qi Shilie, the loyal and filial army in my Great Jin Kingdom, and some court officials who remember the grace of the old emperors, revenge and restoration of the country will not be difficult for us. But... I can't do as deep, insidious and cunning as Ye Qing, nor can I do as ruthless, cold and useless as Ye Qing. I... I don't even know what I should do next, what can I do, and what to talk about restoring the country?"

"What a good house this place is like a paradise. I watch you go in and out every day, busy, but I can't help at all. Every day, I sit here and watch the water, enjoy the flowers, drink tea and listen to the piano, watch the sunrise and the sunset, watch the galaxy and the night moon, watch the clouds roll and the sky clear and the rain. I'm asking, this is what I should do if I vow to avenge the late emperor and restore the country to the Great Jin?" Li Shi'er's face was even more sad. He raised his eyes and shook his head and said sadly: "I am now like the bird in the cage in Ye Qing's hand, and I don't even have the ability to walk out of this house, let alone walk out of this Lulong City, or even go further and further, so... If you want to avenge the late emperor, I, Li Shi'er, are willing to pray for you here. If you want to restore the country, I am willing to do my best, but... I am afraid I can't do anything else."

"But if we don't have you, how can we become famous? What should we do..." Monk Wanyan Chen's mind was blank at this time and it was a little unacceptable. All the changes today happened so quickly that he was not prepared at all.

"Can you borrow Ye Qing's hand to avenge the late emperor?" Li Shi'er had already decided in her heart that only Ye Qing could help her avenge the late emperor!

"Borrowing Ye Qing's hand?" Monk Wanyan Chen couldn't react a little: "How to borrow Ye Qing's hand? Now Ye Qing has colluded with Wanyan Xun..."

"Do you believe Ye Qing will really be friendly to Song Ting and Wanyan Xun forever?" Li Shi'er asked calmly, then lowered her head to continue making tea.

“The queen means….”

"Ye Qinglangzi's ambition is well known to everyone in the world. Now that he says that his greatest ambition in this life is Cheng Kou, the Great Jin Kingdom..." Li Shi'er did not continue to say that in fact, she no longer considered the restoration of the country, and this period of time she had already made her see clearly. With the people in her hands and the current situation, it was almost impossible for her to become the regent Empress Dowager like the Liao Empress.

But if she was asked to give up these things completely, she would feel sorry for Wanyan Jing.

"In any case, it would be enough for the late emperor to not become the monarch of the country to be destroyed." Li Shi'er looked at the sparkling lake and Wanyan Jing's figure appeared in her mind: "If the late emperor was still there, Ye Qing might have seen the friendship between teachers and students with the late emperor, and the gold was a few years later. But now the late emperor has passed away, and there is no bargaining chip to restrain Ye Qing. As for what he promised me to go to Goryeo... I have no idea. In the barbaric land of Goryeo, even if Ye Qing helped us grab Goryeo, how long can I keep as an orphan and widowed mother? Also, don't forget, since Ye Qing wants to be a bandit and attack Fusang, how can Goryeo be able to live in peace? After all, all this is to make wedding dresses for Ye Qing."

"But if we have a chance..." Monk Wanyan Chen's heart was falling, but he still said unwillingly.

Li Shi'er waved his hand and stopped Monk Wanyan Chen from continuing: "If you have the chance, come to Ye Qing. In this way, maybe we can have the opportunity to avenge the late emperor with our own hands."

Monk Wanyan Chen frowned, looking at the queen who seemed to see through all the world and the world, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Seeing that Monk Wanyan Chen no longer had any movement, Li Shi'er looked at the lake and smiled and said, "Ye Qing and Wanyan Xun's alliance is unchangeable, but the purpose is to deal with Goryeo. However... When you see the opportunity and seize the opportunity to join Ye Qing, will Wanyan Xun still have no objection to Ye Qing? At that time, even if Ye Qing is unwilling to be an enemy of Wanyan Xun, Wanyan Xun will really not care that Ye Qing has you and the Jin generals who are loyal to him? Can he still sleep peacefully?"

"But what should you do, Queen? Although I am incompetent, I must never watch you being handed over to Wanyan Xun by Ye Qing. Even if I die, I will never let you..." Monk Wanyan Chen looked at Li Shi'er with a firm expression, but it is obviously more important to protect the Queen and the flesh of the Queen and the Emperor than to avenge the revenge of the Emperor.

"Don't worry, if you surrender to Ye Qing, Ye Qing will no longer make things difficult for me. But in this way, we are equivalent to sinners in the Jin Kingdom, and even become executioners of the deceased Jin Dynasty. It's just that you feel a little wronged and disappointed you." Li Shi'er stood up, looked at Wanyan Chen and said with a smile.
