Back from the front hall to the courtyard where he was, Li Shi'er had not yet come back to his senses from the conversation between Ye Qing and Liu Ke.

Especially when she learned that the batch of food and grass that Ye Qing sent Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Can and others to be distributed to the poor people of the Jin Dynasty, Li Shi'er's mood was a little meaningful, and she was a little mixed for a while.

Of course, she knew very well that Ye Qing was so in order to win people's hearts and to make it easier to defeat Jin. Even if it was distributed in the name of her and her son Wanyan Ankang, Li Shi'er also knew very well that the fame and fortune that would eventually win people's hearts would fall on Ye Qing's head, so that Ye Qing could be more justified and deeply loved by the people to include the Jin Kingdom in the territory of the Song Dynasty.

Monk Wanyan Chen, Wanyan Xielie, and Qishilie Baishan were no longer by her side for a long time, and Ye Qing also revealed the movements of the three of them to her. The purpose was to use Monk Wanyan Chen and the other three to cut off Wanyan Fuxing's possible leadership of troops back to help Wanyan Xun.

So in this way, it is not difficult for Li Shi'er to guess that if the next step of the Jin Dynasty is caused by the death of Wanyan Bi, the Zhongxiao Army will inevitably take the opportunity to conflict with local officials due to food and grass issues. In this way, the Zhongxiao Army will give Zhongxiao Army an excuse to turn against him.

After turning against each other, Zhongxiao Army must go to the command of Wanyan Chen and the other two to stop Wanyan Fuxing from rescuing Wanyan Xun.

Thinking of this, Li Shi'er sighed silently. She had to admit that Ye Qing had been implementing his plan step by step during these days in the Jin Dynasty. Although he could not achieve the momentum of defeating others without fighting, at least he could minimize the cost when he launched a war against the Jin Dynasty.

Li Shi'er was dazed in the courtyard, and at this time, Wanyan Xun from Huining Mansion was in the imperial study room, his chest was filled with anger but he had nowhere to vent. Wanyan Tuoda knelt on the ground tremblingly, his whole face was almost tightly attached to the ground, like an ostrich burying his head in the sand.

The scene when Wanyan Tuoda returned to Huining in a mess a few days ago seemed to have happened yesterday. The conflict in Ningliao Town caused Wanyan Bi to die, and several garrison generals around him died. Although the losses of these people made him angry and disappointed, they were only a hundred or so people after all. Even if Wanyan Bi died and several garrison generals died, these casualties were nothing compared to a war.

But what made Wanyan Xun angry was that the bad impact caused by the conflict between Wanyan Bi and the surrounding generals was unexpected. In the past two days, mutual attacks between civil and military officials had already formed in the court, which led to the balanced civil and military force in the court gradually began to tilt. Civil officials wanted to suppress the military generals in the court, and military generals also wanted to rely on the contribution of helping him Wanyan Xun to seize the throne and be more authoritative in the court.

The reason why all this happened in the court was obviously due to Wanyan Tuoda. If he hadn't delayed some time on the road, this wouldn't have happened.

Today, Wanyan Tuoda, who came to the palace again, dared to argue, saying that no matter whether he could arrive in Ningliao or not, Wanyan Bi would die, because... all this came from the conspiracy between Zhang Qiyan and Ye Qing in Liaoyang.

This made Wanyan Xun even more furious. Although he suspected that it was Ye Qing and Zhang Qiyan's method, when Wanyan Bi got closer and closer to Liaoyang, Wanyan Xun gave up this suspicion. After all, if Ye Qing and Zhang Qiyan really blamed Wanyan Bi, then Wanyan Bi should not have arrived at Huining Mansion smoothly and accepted his own interrogation.

Yes, Wanyan Bi has not arrived in Huining Prefecture smoothly now. Because of the military and political conflicts in Ningliao Town, Wanyan Bi died directly in Ningliao, and his own extremely lieutenant general was also losing one after another.

The imperial study room was silent. It was not until a long time later that when Wanyan Tuoda felt a pain on his knees kneeling on the carpet, Wanyan Xun then sighed and said seriously: "What's going on in Liaoyang?

"I have no conclusive evidence yet, but I have not sent any of the spies to Liaoyang in succession to come back. This is obviously not normal. The spies I sent this time are all experienced experts. If it were normal, it would never be possible that after three days, even a little news has not been sent to me." Wanyan Tuoda's statement this time is relatively firm, which may be related to Wanyan Xun's not as angry as he imagined.

Wanyan Xun looked at Wanyan Tuoda kneeling on the carpet with a serious expression. He knew very well what Wanyan Tuoda meant. Those people were spies who made great contributions when he usurped the throne. It is no exaggeration to say that if there were no such spies and spies placed in the palace, he would not have been able to conquer the palace in a very short time.

Of course, there is no doubt that those people are loyal to themselves, just as he gave those people to Wanyan Tuoda, Wanyan Tuoda's loyalty to him is the most reassuring thing for him.

Since Liu Keshi arrived in Liaoyang, he rarely appeared in the mansion of Song Town for three days. He spent almost every day with wealthy merchants and famous families in Liaoyang.

Every day, we welcome and see off in the restaurant. Either someone invites him to the banquet or he asks others to discuss matters. This also made Zhang Qiyan, the original owner of Liaoyang, finally realized on the second day after Liu Ke’s arrival that the situation in Liaoyang had undergone unimaginable changes.

On the third day after Liu Ke's army arrived in Liaoyang, in addition to those rich businessmen and famous families, some officials from Liaoyang also began to join the team to entertain Liu Ke's army. In this way, Zhang Qiyan seemed even more lonely in Liaoyang.

After thinking about his mansion for a night, Zhang Qiyan finally made up his mind to confess his sins to Huining Mansion. After all, compared to his crime of losing food and grass in Liaoyang, he obviously could not bear the crime of treason. Moreover, as long as he can inform Huining Mansion now, it would be considered a meritorious demerit.

A secret letter that was thought about after thinking about it all night was finally tinkered with by Zhang Qiyan in the study. After sighing sadly, he ordered the servants in the mansion to secretly take them out of the city to Huining Mansion.

Seeing the servant leaving with a secret letter, Zhang Qiyan looked up at the sky with a little melancholy. Although his heart felt a little relaxed, the big stone with a shadow still made him feel breathless.

After thinking about it again, Zhang Qiyan decided that no matter what, he would go to Ye Qing's mansion in Songzhen to test it. No matter what, there were only two left in front of him, either choosing to join Ye Qing in the same way as... like that secret letter, he confessed to Huining Mansion.

The carriage was already ready outside the door. Walking out of the huge vermilion palace gate and looking at the spacious and clean streets that were no different from the past, Zhang Qiyan's heart seemed even heavier. Although this ordinary scene was exactly the same as yesterday, for some reason, there was a hint of strangeness in his eyes, as if this city... was no longer the Liaoyang City he was familiar with.

The carriage slowly drove away from the door of the mansion. Although the driver and the accompanying servant did not know why Zhang Qiyan had been full of worries these days, they had been following Zhang Qiyan for many years, and through their own observations, they could realize that there might be something big in Liaoyang City? After all, the prefect was just escorted to Huining Mansion a few days ago to question.

Song Town is still the original Song Town, and there is no change. However, when the carriage passes by, the strange feeling and a faint sense of murderousness still make Zhang Qiyan feel a sense of pressure coming to his face.

In his eyes, Song Town is obviously more like the Song court town than the entire Liaoyang City, rather than a corner of Liaoyang City.
