The welcoming banquet held by Zhang Baode, the prefect of Danluo, for Ye Qing and Li Shier, was the most invisible time at this banquet for many years when Zhang Baode was an official.

Not only did Zhang Baode himself not expect that he would become an invisible person at the banquet he personally organized, but even Li Shi'er felt that Ye Qing and others were absent-minded in eating this meal.

Zhou Ping did not appear at the banquet at all. Zhang Baode did not dare to ask in front of Ye Qing, so he thought that it might be because of the arrival of King Yan and Princess Yan that Zhou Ping had to pay attention to Danluo's city defense mission. Therefore, in order to protect the safety of King Yan and Princess Yan in Danluo, he did not appear at the banquet.

Li Shi'er was also very surprised. Why did Qishilie Baishan, Wanyan Xielie and Wanyan Chen all appear at this banquet? As Ye Qing, who should be the most dependent on Zhou Ping in Danluo, he was nowhere to be seen?

At first, Li Shi'er thought that it might be because of the differences between Qi Shi Lie Baishan and Zhou Ping on whether Danluo was the main attack or defender after just arrived today that Ye Qing did not allow Zhou Ping to attend the banquet. The purpose was to warn and punish Zhou Ping. At the same time, it was also to consolidate the resignation of Qi Shi Lie Baishan and the three of Qi Shi Lie Baishan to him by punishing Zhou Ping. After all, in Danluo, Ye Qing's military strength is only a small amount, and he should focus on the Zhongxiao Army under the command of Qi Shi Lie Baishan and the three of Qi Shi Lie Baishan. Isn't this also why Ye Qing came here in person?

But when Li Shi'er found Ye Qing absent-minded at the banquet and kept looking at the strange thing on his wrist from time to time, she instantly felt strange, which completely dispelled the reason why Ye Qing was absent-minded because of the ambiguous provocation he had just gotten off the carriage.

While Zhang Baode picked up the wine glass again to toast Qi Shi Lie Baishan and others, Li Shier whispered slightly to Ye Qing's ear. His eyes could clearly see that Qi Shi Lie Baishan was walking in front of him respectfully to toast, Qi Shi Lie Baishan, Wanyan Chen Monk, and Wanyan Xielie turned their heads and looked at Ye Qing for advice almost at the same time.

After Ye Qing nodded slightly without notice, Qi Shilie Baishan and the other two picked up the wine glasses and clinked the glasses one by one with Zhang Baode.

Li Shi'er looked at this scene silently. Although she was a little jealous and even complained about the performance of the two men of Qishi Lie Baishan who had just shown Ye Qing's head, she still asked in a low voice in Ye Qing's ear: "Where has Zhou Ping been?"

"He has something to do, so he won't come today." Ye Qing said lightly.

Li Shi'er straightened his upper body and glared at Ye Qing with some dissatisfaction with Ye Qing's answer. The King of Yan was unaware of it. After another glance at the watch on his wrist, which was named by Li Shi'er, Ye Qing picked up the wine glass in his hand and raised the wine at Qi Shilie Bai Shanyao who had just finished drinking with Zhang Baode: "Don't be careless."

"Yes, King Yan." Qi Shilie Baishan finished his mouth after saying that, and then said to Zhang Baode, Li Shier lost his companion and hurriedly left the Yashi room.

There was one missing person in the banquet. Both Zhang Baode and Li Shier felt a little strange, but Zhang Baode did not have the courage to ask Ye Qing.

Li Shi'er leaned over her upper body again, leaned close to Ye Qing's ear and asked, "Where are you going to Baishan Qishilie?"

"If he has something to do, he will leave the seat early." Ye Qing said lightly.

Such an understatement answer naturally aroused Li Shi'er's anger again, and he glared at Ye Qing fiercely.

As time went by, Ye Qing kept looking at the watch on his wrist, while Li Shi'er continued the almost identical conversation with Ye Qing.

Ye Qing raised his wine glass to Wanyan Chen. After Wanyan Chen finished drinking it, Ye Qing looked at Wanyan Chen and smiled and said, "Don't chase the enemy if you lose."

"Yes, King Yan. I will lose my companionship." Monk Wanyan Chen put down his wine glass and left the seat happily.

Li Shier: "Where is Monk Wanyan Chen going?"

"If he has something to do, he will leave the seat early." Ye Qing's irresponsible answer made Li Shi'er want to hit him to death with one punch.

The last one left was Wanyan Xielie, almost exactly the same as the two before. First, they drank with Ye Qing, and then Ye Qing said something, Wanyan Xielie obeyed the order and apologized for losing his companion.

Then Li Shi'er asked back and Ye Qing answered irresponsiblely again.

This time, Ye Qing's irresponsible answer finally angered Li Shi'er. The chopsticks in his hand slapped on the table, but did not scare Ye Qing. Instead, Zhang Baode on the opposite side was startled. He hurriedly moved the chair under his butt and stood up nervously: "King Yan, Princess Yan, Princess Yan calm down. If the official is not there to greet him, I hope the Princess Yan will make it clear..."

Ye Qing looked at the chopsticks thrown by Li Shier, frightened Zhang Baode, who was standing aside with fear and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang was very thoughtful. Today's banquet is the best banquet I have eaten in my life. Thank you, Lord Zhang, just sit down and talk."

"This..." Zhang Baode didn't know how to accept Ye Qing's words, but he also knew that unless he had drunk too much, otherwise, the banquet that King Yan mentioned was the best banquet he had ever had in his life, and it would never be the truth.

Li Shi'er's fair and delicate face was even more evil because of Ye Qing's indifference. However, in front of Zhang Baode, she was calling Princess Yan one by one, which made it difficult for her to have an attack, so she secretly reached out to twist the flesh on Ye Qing's waist.

But when Li Shi'er's hand was just put on Ye Qing's waist, Ye Qing grabbed her right hand, and then Ye Qing looked at Zhang Baode with a normal expression and said, "Thank you, Lord Zhang, today.

I am welcomed, but now that everyone is full of food and food, I am very happy, then... I have a small request. I wonder if Lord Zhang can..."? Before Ye Qing finished speaking, he got angry between Li Shier and Ye Qing, and Zhang Baode, who was already close to taking action, was afraid that he would be affected by the fish pond, so he hurriedly said: "Please give me instructions that as long as the officials can, they will never refuse."

"Okay." Ye Qing patted the table with his right hand, then grabbed Li Shi'er's right hand with his left hand and stood up, saying, "Since Lord Zhang is so happy, it's so good. Then... can you please accompany us to see the night view of Danluo and stroll around the Danluo city wall?"

"This..." Zhang Baode fell into hesitation. There was no problem looking at the city wall. He could see the night view... When it was dark in Danluo City, except for the street where the restaurant was located, there was a bright accident. Other places were painted black. Where could there be any night view to enjoy?

Could it be that the King of Yan has drunk too much? He regards this place as Liaoyang, or as Yanjing, or directly as Lin'an Prefecture, the capital of their Song court!

Before Zhang Baode made a decision, Ye Qing kept holding Li Shier's soft little hand, smiled and said to Zhang Baode, following me, and then walked out of the restaurant.

Zhang Baode was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he hurriedly greeted several subordinates and quickly followed Ye Qing and Li Shier out of the restaurant.

After walking out of the restaurant, Ye Qing let go of Li Shi'er's little hand. Li Shi'er was dissatisfied while waiting for Ye Qing, while shaking his little hand that was so painful that Ye Qing had just pinched.

"Get into the car." Ye Qing said to the angry Li Shier.

"Where do you go? I want to go too." Li Shi'er was very afraid that Ye Qing would let her get in the car and go back to her residence, and Ye Qing would go to other places with Zhang Baode.

"Don't worry, I may not take you at other times, but this time, it may not be possible without you." Ye Qing said to Li Shier with a smile.

With the rapid footsteps of Zhang Baode and others coming from behind, Jia She and his two hundred personal guards had already arrived in front of Ye Qing and surrounded the carriage with Li Shi'er. The momentum of the two hundred people naturally caused a lot of commotion in this small Danluo City, especially in this most prosperous area.

Fortunately, after Ye Qing got on the carriage, Jia She, Zhang Baode and others did not stop too much, and immediately rushed towards the direction of the city gate.

Zhang Baode wanted to slander from Jia She several times along the way, but Jia She ignored Zhang Baode at all, sat on the horse's back and looked in the direction from time to time.

When he drove into the straight road leading to the city gate, Zhang Baode was almost shocked by the scene in front of him. He never thought that Danluo City, which he had been in charge for nearly three years, had a night view to enjoy!

However, before he could enjoy the night view in front of him, Zhang Baode was suddenly shocked. The brightly lit place not far away in front of him was like a long dragon. What is the night view? It was obvious that Danluo City would only be the wall of two people, but... When did so many torches ignite on this wall?

At the same time, just as Ye Qing and others were about to approach the city wall that lit a torch like a long dragon, Wanyan Fuxing, who was about three or five miles away from Danluo City, also received the news that a long dragon was lit on the wall of Danluo City.

Wanyan Fuxing was stunned at first, then looked at the same puzzled expression on his subordinate's face, and involuntarily paced back and forth in the military tent and pondered.

"You mean, after it was dark in Danluo City, it suddenly lit a torch? Maybe you can see clearly how many soldiers are on the city wall?" Wanyan Fuxing pondered for a while, and asked his subordinates.

"The number of people should be quite large, but... I refused to observe the spies. As the torch was lit, a large number of soldiers began to retreat from the city wall. So when the spies came back to report, there were no more soldiers guarding the city wall, and only the long dragon-like torch was inserted into the city wall." The subordinate replied.

The subordinate's answer made Wanyan Fuxing even more confused. He couldn't figure out what the people in the city were thinking. Don't they know that if the city wall was full of torches, it wouldn't actually help them defend the city?

If I choose to force the city tonight, then those torches will become my guiding lights? Wouldn't I have to send spies to investigate and find out how many defensive troops they have... Wanyan Fuxing was suddenly shocked when he thought of this place. No, they lit the torches and retreated all the soldiers on the city wall. What does this mean?

Wanyan Fuxing was paced back and forth in the military tent, and he really couldn't figure out what the purpose of Danluo City suddenly lit the torches? Could it be that... they removed all the soldiers on the city wall just to tempt themselves to forcibly attack the city?

"Go and have a look." Wanyan Fuxing was really unsure of his mind, and he didn't know what Danluo City wanted to do in this move.

Although he did not plan to attack the city tonight, even though Huining Mansion is urging him very quickly, even so, for Wanyan Fuxing, the reason why he is not in a hurry to enter Danluo City is that except that Danluo City has been controlled by Ye Qing in Liaoyang, he now has only 20,000 troops. If these 20,000 troops are used to attack the city, Wanyan Fuxing would not feel that he has a chance of winning.

Moreover, in Wanyan Fuxing's view, even if he has a chance of winning, it would be a terrible victory at that time. Then, at that time, the troops he could bring back to Liaoyang would be greatly reduced. In this way, it is very likely that Wanyan Xun would blame him... he was eager to make arrogance?

So he might as well wait for the 60,000 troops behind him to arrive. In this way, he would have 80,000 troops in his hand, so the small dan in front of him

Luo Cheng, facing the great pressure of the dark clouds, may he surrender without fighting and open the city gates and wait for him to enter the city.

Of course, the reason why Wanyan Fuxing dared to slowly plan how to enter the city after arriving at Danluo City was not only because he was worried that his troops would suffer heavy losses when the troops were comparable. There was another reason, that is, he could use his slow marching speed to force Wanyan Xun to blame all this on his opponent Zhang Qiyan in the court.

Wanyan Xun is not very clear about Zhang Qiyan's situation now, so in Wanyan Fuxing's view, it was not his own fault that he was blocked by Danluo. It was because of Zhang Qiyan's fault that he could not arrive at the city of Liaoyang on time.

After all, once Wanyan Xun is met, Wanyan Fuxing will have enough rhetoric and evidence, such as: in order to reach Liaoyang as soon as possible and form an encirclement with other armies, he took the lead in leading a 20,000 army to move forward lightly, and even reduced food and grass by half, in order to reach the city of Liaoyang as soon as possible.

It is precisely because I was eager to reach the city of Liaoyang that I had fewer troops and in order to save more combat power for the emperor Wanyan Xun, I could not break through Danluo City in a short time. I had to wait until the 60,000 troops behind me arrived before siege.

This is a vicious cycle, or even a car wheel-like sin, like a ball of twine, and you can't figure it out how Wanyan Xun can sort it out.

In short, after Wanyan Fuxing was refused entry by Taro, he had already made up his mind and thought about the words to see Wanyan Xun.

Anyway, in Wanyan Fuxing's view, his statement was not to make contributions, but to act with the ultimate goal of not seeking merit but to seeking nothing wrong. Of course, Wanyan Fuxing would never admit it when suppressing and shaking Zhang Qiyan.

The group of dozens of riders only carried a few lanterns and quickly set out from the camp to the foot of Danluo City.

As he got closer and closer to Danluo City, Wanyan Fuxing began to slow down his progress. Then, in order to avoid being discovered by the defenders of Danluo City, the lanterns with similar light as ghost fires were also extinguished by Wanyan Fuxing, and then began to slander and move forward.

After entering a sparse woods outside the city, what caught Wanyan Fuxing's eyes was the torch burning along the straight wall of Danluo City, illuminating the entire wall as if it were daytime. Even the figures of the few twenty or thirty people on the wall could be clearly seen.

After watching quietly for a while, Wanyan Fuxing couldn't help but feel curious, signaling the guards who followed him to continue approaching the city wall and going to both sides of the city wall to investigate whether there were other defenders on the city wall besides the twenty or thirty figures.

He himself and other guards secretly watched in the woods for a while, and saw that there were twenty or thirty figures on the city wall. As he paced back and forth on one side of the city gate, his emotions gradually relaxed, forcing Wanyan Fuxing to secretly approach the city wall himself.

Although I can't see who the people on the city wall are, because I can see clearly the service of those people on the city wall is not the city guard soldiers wearing armor and holding weapons, so Wanyan Fuxing's courage is getting bigger and bigger, and he also wants to see who the people on the city wall are.

Of course, there is another reason why Wanyan Fuxing vaguely discovered that among the twenty or thirty figures, it seemed... there was a woman in a woman serving her, and another man who was much taller than others, walking side by side at the front of the group of people, just like the leader of those people.

So Wanyan Fuxing, who was curious, gradually couldn't get so much. Moreover, he knew very well that once the torches were formed on the city wall, he would stand on the high city wall. Because of the light of the torches, it would be difficult for the people on the city wall to see clearly the situation below when they were watching down.

So as Wanyan Fuxing got closer and closer to the city wall and the figure on the city wall became clearer, Wanyan Fuxing's expression became more and more nervous and shocked!

As he got closer and closer to the city wall, the tall man walking in front of the city wall became more and more familiar in Wanyan Fuxing's eyes.

When Wanyan Fuxing saw the man's face clearly, Wanyan Fuxing felt as if he was struck by lightning. With a bang in his mind, it instantly turned blank, and he almost fell from the horse's back.

In my mind, there was only one name that repeated in my mind like a thunderbolt: Ye Qing!

How could it be him? He actually came to this small border town in person? Did he come here specifically for me? He would not be able to stop me here! Does he want me to die under Danluo City?

As Ye Qing's name appeared in Wanyan Fuxing's mind, a series of questions immediately circled in Wanyan Fuxing's mind.

However, this is not the culprit who almost fainted. Instead, when Wanyan Fuxing's eyes were staring at Ye Qing who was chatting and laughing on the city wall, suddenly, Ye Qing reached out and put his hand on the waist of the woman next to him. The moment the woman was wrapped around her waist and turned around, her fair and delicate face, like a fairy, made Wanyan Fuxing fall from the horse's back instantly.
