1297  The first sunny after the snow

On the second day when Wanyan Bi was placed under house arrest, the sky that had been gloomy for more than half a month finally turned into a bright sunshine. Whether it was the thick snow inside or outside the city, it seemed particularly dazzling under the sunlight, but these were no objection to Wanyan Bi who was placed under house arrest.

But for Zhang Qiyan, he finally guarded the clouds and saw the moon bright. The haze that had been heavy in his heart was heavy. With the help of Ye Qing, after putting Wanyan Bi under house arrest, he finally had the good mood of seeing the moon.

As the weather cleared, Zhang Qiyan's mood also cleared up. The hidden worry in his heart disappeared without a trace due to the weather. What he had to do next was to use his network of relationships and momentum in Huining Mansion to completely stake Wanyan Bi for the crime of robbery of food and grass.

Zhang Qiyan, who was a little energetic, has been waiting for news from Huining Mansion these days. Wanyan Bi has been under house arrest by him, but after all, he is a third-rank official in the court. Obviously, it is not the only one of him, Zhang Qiyan, who can handle the offense, so he needs to wait. After the news from Huining Mansion arrives, should he escort back to Huining after the trial of Liaoyang, or should he be directly escorted to Huining to trial Wanyan Bi.

The two methods did not matter much to Zhang Qiyan. After all, he was confident that with Wanyan Fuxing in Baozhou, Goryeo, there were not many officials who could hinder him from the entire Huining Mansion or the court. Moreover, his connections in the court were wide enough. Even if he could not completely control the handling of Wanyan Bi by the emperor Wanyan Xun, at least it was enough to not make anyone interfere in this incident.

In addition to worrying about whether Wanyan Bi was escorting back to Huining or interrogating on the spot in Liaoyang, under Ye Qing's suggestion, Zhang Qiyan also submitted a memorial to Huining again and promised Wanyan Xun that he would recover the number of robbed grain and grasslands and send it to Baozhou, Goryeo on the designated day to ensure Wanyan Fuxing's grain and grass supply in Baozhou, Goryeo.

So in the past few days since the snow was sunny, Zhang Qiyan had to go to Song Town almost every day after handling some official documents related to Huining in the yamen office, exchanging various news with Ye Qing and discussing what to do next.

Every time Ye Qing saw Zhang Qiyan with a smile and relaxed look, he would smile and say congratulations first with great enthusiasm. This attitude similar to the weasel's New Year greetings to the chicken was met by Li Shi'er, and after being met by Li Shi'er, he would be sarcastic from Li Shi'er one after another.

Ye Qing didn't care about Li Shi'er's ridicule at all, and even felt a little proud, as if Liaoyang had been stripped of the territory of the Jin Kingdom and became the city of the Song court.

On this day, when Zhang Qiyan came to Ye Qing's mansion in Song Town again, on the surface, he came to confirm the itinerary of the Song army who was escorting food and grass with Ye Qing, but in fact, Ye Qing and Zhang Qiyan secretly conspired in the hall without a third person for almost half a day. Then, Li Shi'er, who was interested in peeping, saw Zhang Qiyan leaving Song Town with a serious expression.

Li Shi'er, with a suspicious look on his face, quietly came to the door of the hall just now, and saw Ye Qing continuing to drink tea leisurely, but his expression seemed to have a hint of cunning like conspiracy!

"What do you want to do?" Li Shi'er asked bluntly.

Since Ye Qing approached the Liaoyang City without bloodshed, Ye Qing became more sinister and treacherous in Li Shi'er's eyes, and sometimes even made Li Shi'er feel so angry that she often sighed in her heart when she couldn't sleep in the middle of the night: How could there be such a treacherous and insidious villain in the world! No wonder Song Ting wanted to get rid of him even when he made unparalleled achievements. This hero was simply terrible.

So now Li Shi'er has become much smarter. When talking to Ye Qing, she never hides her. Especially when asking Ye Qing what she is doing, Li Shi'er also made up her mind and never gave Ye Qing a chance to be vague.

For example: Even if she asked Ye Qing herself, Ye Qing would not feel satisfied after she just replied that she would not be satisfied with it. She even broke the casserole and asked to the end. Not only did she have to make sure Ye Qing had eaten, but she also had to make clear what Ye Qing had eaten, and even how much she had eaten.

Ye Qing's yin line made Li Shi'er immediately feel alert when approaching Ye Qing, but this did not hinder her from wanting to keep getting closer, or wanting to understand the man's curiosity adventure better.

"I didn't think of anything." Ye Qing came to his senses and looked at Li Shi'er with a vigilant face and smiled gently: "I'm not a beast that eats people and doesn't spit bones. What's your look?"

"Because you, Ye Qing, are more terrifying than a wild beast that eats people and doesn't spit bones..." Li Shi'er thought for a while, and then added a heavy sentence: "And it's even more hateful!"

"What are you doing here? But is there something wrong?" Ye Qing was too lazy to argue with her. Since the weather cleared up after the snow, Li Shi'er seemed to have become more vigilant about him, just like... it was like being guarded against thieves. Every time she looked at him, she was full of vigilance.

"You haven't answered my question yet. Just now, you and Zhang Qiyan were sneaking around. What are you plotting here secretly? Are you thinking about using Zhang Qiyan again?" Li Shi'er ignored Ye Qing's question. Her phoenix eyes were full of scrutiny. Her white and delicate cheeks were also full of seriousness. She looked a bit more elegant and luxurious Fengyi, who was the queen at the time.

"The army is approaching Liaoyang and will arrive soon. As for the food and grass..." Ye Qing said frankly.

"Will you really send grain and grass to Koryo Baozhou to supply Wanyan Fuxing?" Li Shi'er asked in disbelief.

"Since you know that it doesn't, why ask again?" Ye Qing said with a smile.

Li Shi'er curled her lips disdainfully, and then sat down next to Ye Qing with a vigilant look on her face. After tidying up her thoughts, she continued to ask: "What did you two just conspire here?"

"Do you really want to know?" Ye Qing turned to look at Li Shi'er who was full of vigilance. Although his deep eyes were smiling, for some reason, after asking Li Shi'er, Li Shi'er felt chilling.

A kind of uneasiness and uneasiness immediately surged into Li Shi'er's heart, which made Li Shi'er suddenly become a little nervous and uncomfortable. She unconsciously moved her body on the chair and said in an indifferent tone: "Don't think I can't tell the truth about you. If you dare to lie to me, don't blame me for helping you out of the way."

Li Shi'er's tone was filled with a weak and threatening feeling. Even she herself didn't feel that she was a little threat to Ye Qing, but she couldn't help but want to threaten the treacherous and insidious Song Ting hero in front of her.

Ye Qing sighed, thought for a while and said, "Huining Mansion issued an order to Zhang Qiyan, about how to deal with Wanyan Bi..."

"Oh, what are you going to do?" Before Ye Qing finished speaking, Li Shi'er asked impatiently, and then thought for a while and said, "Is it different from what you expected before? Do you want to escort Wanyan Bi to Huining Mansion for interrogation? In this way, although it does not have much impact on you and Zhang Qiyan, it is the escort that you will not escort after the Liaoyang interrogation, right? After all, in Huining Mansion, there will be more uncertain factors in no matter what, right?"

Ye Qing's smile seemed a little difficult to understand in Li Shi'er's eyes. She unconsciously curled her lips again. What she hated the most was that Ye Qing stared at her with such eyes, as if... it was as if Ye Qing would see through all her thoughts under such eyes.

However, Ye Qing's unsatisfactory look did not stop too much on Li Shi'er. He nodded slightly and said, "Yes, interrogating Wanyan Bi in Liaoyang, asking him to sign and approve him and then escort him back to Huining and handing him over to Wanyan Xun for disposal is naturally the best strategy. There are naturally many variables when the Huining Mansion is interrogated. Maybe after arriving at Huining Mansion, Wanyan Bi can really make Wanyan Bi take a path to resurrection. After all, Wanyan Bi has a contribution to Wanyan Xun's ascending the throne that others cannot replace. Otherwise, Wanyan Xun would not be assured to let Wanyan Bi be the prefect of Liaoyang, right?"

"So once Wanyan Bi is escorted to Huining Mansion for interrogation, the uncertain variables will become larger, and then what you and Zhang Qiyan do in Liaoyang will be exposed, and Liaoyang cannot be called your capture without bloodshed. Wanyan Xun will naturally pay more attention to the variables in Liaoyang, and it is even possible... The situation of Wanyan Bi and Zhang Qiyan will be reversed because of this, Zhang Qiyan became the real sinner of the Jin Kingdom, and Wanyan Bi became a meritorious minister under Wanyan Xun's command?" After thinking about it, Li Shi'er bit his seductive red lips and analyzed: "So what are you going to do? Is it impossible to change the escort to Wanyan Bi back to Huining for trial?"

"No, it cannot be changed." Ye Qing was still relaxed and leisurely, without any intention of being anxious. This made Li Shier, the "outsider", look at him, and he was a little anxious. He didn't understand why Ye Qing could still be so calm at this time.

"Since you know that it is impossible to change, do you still have the intention to sit here and have tea?" Li Shier asked in confusion.

"Have you heard that the general is not accepting this sentence?" Ye Qing asked with a smile without answering.

"Nonsense, isn't this what you, Ye Qing, have been doing in the Song court for a long time? When did you, the King of Yan, hear the will of the court?" Li Shi'er said coldly with a strong sense of sarcasm.

Ye Qing ignored the mockery and nodded gently and said, "That's right."

Li Shi'er first lowered her head and thought, then suddenly looked up, looking at Ye Qing in disbelief and said, "Are you planning not to let Zhang Qiyan send Wanyan Bi to Huining Mansion? Are you going to completely turn against Wanyan Xun? Are you going to... start attacking the Jin Kingdom?"

Seeing Li Shi'er's mouth wide open in surprise and looking at him with shock, Ye Qing understood what Li Shi'er thoughts and thoughts. With the order of Zhang Qiyan, the other 30,000 troops led by Zhou Ping and Xu Jiansheng, the other two deputy commanders of the broken camp, led by Zhou Ping and Xu Jiansheng, will arrive in Liaoyang soon.

In this way, he had a force of 50,000 troops in Liaoyang, and the remaining troops of Jin Kingdom outside Liaoyang City were only a few thousand, which posed no threat to his occupation of Liaoyang. Therefore, in Li Shi'er's opinion, this can be regarded as the strength to completely break up with the Jin Kingdom and Wanyan Xun in Liaoyang.

"It's not the time yet. The situation in Goryeo is still in a delicate balance. At this time, it will take some time to turn against Wanyan Xun and not achieve the effect of internal and external troubles. It will take some time and some momentum to completely gain a foothold in Liaoyang and turn against Wanyan Xun." Ye Qing shook his head and explained.

"But...but aren't you planning to ask Zhang Qiyan to escort Wanyan Bi back to Huining Mansion?" Li Shi'er continued to ask.

Ye Qing looked innocent: "When did I say that I didn't plan to ask Zhang Qiyan to send someone to escort Wanyan Bi back to Huining Mansion?"

"But just now..." Li Shi'er was asked a little, and said a little stutteringly: "But you were just saying: You will not accept something when you are outside the king, right? Isn't this saying, you are not going to let Wanyan Bi return to Huining Mansion?"

"I will be reluctant to accept the orders of the king outside. Do you think Wanyan Xun is qualified to be my king of Ye Qing?" Ye Qing said with a smile.

Li Shi'er glared at Ye Qing with some hatred, always feeling that Ye Qing was deliberately teasing her at this moment, just to see him make a fool of himself in front of him.

"Then what do you mean? What are you going to do? Stop playing dumb riddles with me! I will tell you Ye Qing, no matter what, but I know that I am becoming more and more important to you now. If you play dumb riddles with me, be careful that I, the former queen, will not cooperate with you to create momentum!" Li Shi'er really couldn't guess what Ye Qing sold in the gourd, so she just took out the only killer move she thought could threaten Ye Qing.

But it has to be said that Li Shier can see very clearly about her positioning and situation, even her role in Ye Qing's planning.

She knew very well that no matter how Ye Qing was doing now, after finally breaking up with Wanyan Xun of the Jin Kingdom, she would definitely use her former queen of the Jin Kingdom to fight against Wanyan Xun, the emperor of the Jin Kingdom.

Ye Qing turned his head again, still looking at Li Shi'er with deep and meaningless eyes, which made Li Shi'er feel uncomfortable again, as if he was sitting naked in front of Ye Qing at the moment, and was scrutinized by Ye Qing's eyes on him and wandering.

Retracting his gaze made Li Shi'er's nervousness and discomfort relieve him. He looked up slightly at the golden sunshine projecting through the window. Ye Qing said slowly: "Of course, Zhang Qiyan must follow Wanyan Xun's order and send someone to escort Wanyan Bi back to Huining Mansion for trial, but... it's hard to say whether Wanyan Bi can return to Huining safely."

"What do you mean?" Li Shi'er was shocked and asked quickly, "Do you want to kill Wanyan Bi?"

"Of course I won't kill Wanyan Bi, but... I might be sure whether Wanyan Bi will commit suicide fearlessly." Ye Qing's gentle smile appeared on his face again, but in Li Shi'er's eyes, Ye Qing's smile seemed so hateful and hateful at this moment! She even wanted to pounce on her and slap her hard to relieve her anger!

At this time, Zhang Qiyan, after returning to the yamen, sat at the desk, weighing the advice Ye Qing gave him, and kept ringing in his mind, Ye Qing's bewitching words.

"Will Wanyan Bi commit suicide fearlessly?" Ye Qing's voice sounded in Zhang Qiyan's mind again.

"No, even if Wanyan Bi wants to commit suicide fearlessly, I cannot let him die. After all, once he dies in Liaoyang, I will definitely not be able to escape." Zhang Qiyan shook his head firmly and said.

"Then let him die on the way to Huining Mansion." Ye Qing's bewitching voice circled in Zhang Qiyan's mind again: "From Liaoyang to Huining, you need to go through Xianping and Long'an Mansions. Whether in Xianping or Long'an, as long as you continue to escort Wanyan Bi to Huining Mansion, you can also bring a few officials who are loyal to him in Wanyan Xun's heart. Then when you are about to arrive in Huining, you secretly sent someone to assassinate Wanyan Bi, and then it was the scene of Wanyan Bi's murder for fear of crime. How about?"

Zhang Qiyan stared at the tea that was already cold on the table, sighed heavily, shook her head and said silently in her heart: "Although this plan is feasible,... it needs a very appropriate reason to explain why Wanyan Bi had to commit suicide halfway. Otherwise, with the suspicion of the emperor, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to break away from the relationship."

"Isn't this easy to deal with?" Ye Qing looked out the window and said, "After you go back, you will immediately give Wanyan Xun a memorial, saying that Wanyan Bi is now under house arrest and crying in the mansion every day, crying and crying that he is guilty and has let Wanyan Xun down on his expectations of him? No matter what, you must use your memorial to create a regretful and shameful Wanyan Xun for Wanyan Bi.

, and Wanyan Bi's attitude of being about to collapse. Of course, because Wanyan Bi felt deeply guilty of Wanyan Xun's trust, when he set out to Huining Mansion, as he got closer and closer to Huining Mansion, was he more afraid of seeing Wanyan Xun because of the guilt in his heart and the guilt of losing food and grass? So when he was about to arrive at Huining Mansion, Wanyan Bi finally couldn't bear the pressure of guilt and committed suicide because of his guilt?"

Because of his uneasy and indecision, Zhang Qiyan, who was walking back and forth in the study, stopped in front of the window at this time. Ye Qing's bewitching voice still circled in his mind, and his hands behind him were sometimes clenched into fists, sometimes loosening into palms.

Looking quietly at the snow that gradually became thinner outside the window, the snow water melting like raindrops flowed from the eaves, and strings of them were like crystal clear bead curtains, blurring Zhang Qiyan's vision, but even so, it still made Zhang Qiyan feel a little hesitant.

As he followed Ye Qing's advice, although he had already vaguely discovered something wrong, sometimes he would always have a kind of concern, as if Ye Qing had been smiling hideously, trying to slowly drag him Zhang Qiyan into the abyss. But when he turned around and faced the reality, he found that he wanted to get out of the predicament at the moment, as if he still had no way out except the strategies given to him by Ye Qing.

Zhang Qiyan knew that Ye Qing had his own ambitions and desires, just like he ordered the 30,000 Song troops to enter Liaoyang unimpeded. On the surface, it was definitely not what Ye Qing said. It was as simple as escorting food and grass to help him rescue him. It must have his ulterior motive secret.

But no matter what, if Zhang Qiyan wants to escape being punished by Wanyan Xun, want to be worried about his career in the court, and avoid Wanyan Fuxing's attack on him, then he must cooperate with Ye Qing.

Everything now is like a dense spider web. When I solved the dilemma in front of me, I just came to light, there will be another dilemma waiting for me.

Finally, he conspired with Ye Qing to blame Wanyan Bi for his crime. The Huining Mansion's decree once again made his head dark clouds, and the pressure from Mount Tai felt like he could breathe again.

And to solve this trouble... Zhang Qiyan frowned again. When he came back from Song Zhen, he thought about it all the way, but after thinking about it, he found that except for the idea that Ye Qing gave him, no method he had thought about seemed to be perfect without Ye Qing's method.

Unconsciously turning his head from the window to look at the white paper on the desk. Zhang Qiyan frowned. It was extremely easy to give Huining Mansion another memorial about Wanyan Bi after being under house arrest, but this consequence... can he really bear it in the end? Ye Qing in the end...will he pull himself into the abyss with his own hands?

After all, he sighed to the sky, and clenched his fists back and forth with his hands behind him, as if he wanted to help him make a firm decision and make a decision in his heart. Finally, Zhang Qiyan looked at the snow-white paper on the table, and then slowly walked to the back of the desk to sit down. His hands subconsciously raised from behind and placed them on the edge of the table, and his left hand also unconsciously began to reach the upper left corner of the table to start grinding.
