The sky was getting darker, especially after the last sunset fell into the distant hill. Wanyan Fuxing, who was panicked and fled all the way in a mess, finally felt a little more at ease.

He plunged into the woods on the hills ahead. In the dim woods, he rushed in with a hundred defeated soldiers and defeated soldiers, startled up birds and beasts and flew in the woods, scattering their wings and flew in all directions.

Wanyan Fuxing, who had been running away aimlessly for most of the day, sat down on a stone panting heavily, and there were less than a hundred guards in front of him, and the 20,000 troops and the other guards had long been dispersed and chased by the sudden Song army.

After running away all the way, Wanyan Fuxing never understood how he lost, and he lost so thoroughly.

He really couldn't figure it out that even when the army retreated, he had already made various defenses, just to beware that the Song army might attack them while they were withdrawing. But in the end... everything happened too quickly, and Wanyan Fuxing and the entire army had not yet reacted. The entire camp of 20,000 people was like a blowout. He could not find his generals, and his generals could not find his soldiers. In short, it was like rushing through a simple fence wall with a flood wrapped in huge waves, and instantly flooded the entire camp, leaving Wanyan Fuxing no time and ability to resist. He could only flee outside the camp in a hurry with his personal guards.

The escape of Wanyan Fuxing, who was not sure of the direction, even didn't know where he was now, whether it was closer to Danluo City or Goryeo!

The guards of about a hundred people seemed even more embarrassed and frightened in their dim vision. They were almost like refugees, with their eyes blank and their expressions dull. They all looked at Wanyan Fuxing, who was breathing heavily and sweating all over, and they didn't know what to do.

Wanyan Fuxing was still recalling the various situations this morning, even when they just escaped from the barracks, he vaguely remembered that there were thousands of people around him at that time, but why...

By the way, Wanyan Fuxing suddenly felt a glimmer of hope. He suddenly remembered that when the Song army was scattering the entire camp and chasing their army everywhere, he retreated towards Goryeo at the beginning. When he ran away for more than ten miles, he also encountered scouts sent by 60,000 troops behind him. He remembered that he also sent a letter to him, but because it was too urgent at the time, the Song army behind him chased him tightly, so he didn't even look closely, and it seemed...

Thinking of this, Wanyan Fuxing hurriedly flipped it on himself, but after rummaging for a long time, he could not find the letter that was almost forgotten by him.

"Where is that letter?" Wanyan Fuxing looked up and asked the guard next to him.

The guard was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, saying that he didn't know, and then asked, "Sir, what should we do now?"

"Now, wait here, it's quite remote, I can't say... the Song army won't chase here, and then..." Wanyan Fuxing was confused for a moment. In fact, he didn't know what to do next.

He knew very well that he was not Ye Qing's opponent, and that his army was probably not the opponent of the Song army, but even though he thought he had a clear understanding of each other's combat power, he still realized in the moment of fighting that... when the army under his command met the powerful Song army, it was vulnerable.

Originally, Wanyan Fuxing was somewhat confident. After all, the army under his command was a stalemate with the Goryeo people and had fought elite soldiers and powerful generals. They even fought several tough battles with the Goryeo people in Goryeo, and they maintained a record of winning more than losing less.

So when Wanyan Fuxing saw Ye Qing's figure on the head of Danluo City, he wanted to deal with Ye Qing as a sad soldier. He thought that even if he was not Ye Qing's opponent, he would not be defeated so thoroughly. At least he should have enough combat power to deal with Ye Qing for a while.

But the strength and fearlessness of the Song army were really like a flood and beast. Wherever they passed, people were rushing over and screaming, and his speed was as fast as lightning, which made his army not have time to prepare for the battle, and was scattered by the Song army's cavalry.

Just when Wanyan Fuxing was stunned, the sound of horse hooves and the shouts of pursuers sounded again outside the woods on the hills, which made Wanyan Fuxing, who was sitting on the stone resting, instantly lost his mind, and he raised his center of gravity and almost fell from the stone under his butt.

The few personal guards with less than a hundred people were almost instantly turbulent when they heard the sound of horse hooves and shouts of pursuers outside. Then they all lay on the ground, looking vigilantly and nervously outside the woods.

But it was just a brief commotion that once again startled the birds that were about to live above their heads flashed their wings and flew out of the sky above the woods again.

"Don't act rashly, lie down and don't move, look at your war horse." Wanyan Fuxing, who almost fell from the stone, lay on the ground, looked up at the birds frightened above the sky above his head and flapped his wings and flew away, and hurriedly lowered his voice to remind his few personal guards.

In an instant, Wanyan Fuxing and his hundreds of guards in the woods were lying on the wet ground without moving, and even the sound of breathing was deliberately lowered a lot. His eyes were even nervously looking outside the woods, fearing that the pursuers would suddenly chase after them at this time.

Song Yuanqing knew very well that once the sky became completely dark, it would be difficult to continue searching for the defeated generals.

What's more, he had been clenching Wanyan Fuxing's escape tail, but he chased after him along the way, so that he spent a lot of time capturing the Jin soldiers alone, which made him lose the trace of Wanyan Fuxing who had been running north after capturing the Jin soldiers.

This made Song Yuanqing feel a pity. Although he always remembered Ye Qing's words, he would never take it as capturing Wanyan Fuxing as a result.

The purpose is to defeat the combat power of the Jin soldiers.

But after all, Wanyan Fuxing is right in front of him. With such a great opportunity, he naturally refused to give up easily when the situation was settled.

Seeing that the sun set and the sky became darker and darker, Song Yuanqing's heart began to become anxious. At this moment, the bird on the hill not far away suddenly flapped its wings and flew, causing a wave of movement to attract his attention.

This made Song Yuanqing's originally anxious expression instantly become ferocious, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was even more bloodthirsty. He looked back at the few soldiers who broke the camp behind him and chased him for most of the day. Although they were exhausted, fortunately their fighting spirit was still very high.

After chuckling, Song Yuanqing pointed to the hill not far away without saying a word, and then whispered: "Brothers, success or failure is here. If we want the King of Yan and the soldiers of the Huajia Army to look at us, we must be able to fight when we are tired. Seeing the hill in front of us, as long as we catch the Jin soldiers hiding inside, regardless of whether there is Wanyan Fuxing or not, we can take credit in front of the King of Yan!"

Although Song Yuanqing's words were not very confusing, he was indeed very clear that the soldiers who broke the camp had always compared themselves with the Hua Family Army, so in his opinion, no matter what they said, it was obvious that there was no better way to use the Hua Family Army to motivate the soldiers.

At the same time, on the top of Danluo City, before the sky was completely dark, a torch like a long dragon was lit again.

Ye Qing appeared on the city tower again, holding a secret letter stained with blood and soil in his hand, and a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and smiled, but he did not open it and said to Li Shi'er beside him: "If it were not surprising, Monk Wanyan Chen, Wanyan Xielie and others have also defeated the 60,000 army."

"How do you know?" Li Shi'er asked, looking at the letter with blood and soil in Ye Qing's hand.

"If you don't believe me, please open it?" Ye Qing smiled and handed the letter to Li Shi'er. The thick fur was draped on his shoulders, making his back look even more majestic.

Li Shi'er hesitated for a moment, and then planned to open the letter, but when she was about to open it, she suddenly wondered: "Where did this letter come from?" "Pick it up." Ye Qing smiled and said, "Looking at the blood stains on it and the soil stains on it, the letter almost turned into waste paper. It can be seen how intense the situation on the battlefield was when the letter fell."

Li Shi'er was skeptical, but she still opened the letter, and the words on it seemed very sloppy. It can be seen that when she was writing this letter, just as Ye Qing said, the situation on the battlefield must be very critical.

Just as Ye Qing and Li Shi'er were standing on the city tower and looking out of the city, Jia She jogged all the way under the city wall, and also ran up the city tower with a letter in her hand.

But after running a few steps, Jia She suddenly stopped and waved to a personal guard and asked, "Who else is there in the King of Yan? Is Princess Yan also there?"

"On it." The guard nodded and replied.

Because Zhang Baode called Li Shi'er Princess Yan, and Ye Qing had no explanation, Li Shi'er did not point it out, so the title of Princess Yan has almost become Li Shi'er's special title in Danluo these days.

Hearing the answer from the guard, Jia She showed a helpless expression on his face. Now, the closest guard commander of the guards around him, he has become unable to get close to the guards because of the Princess Yan. He can only look at the King of Yan from afar. It's really...sad.

"Go, I'll send this letter to the King of Yan, which is from Liaoyang." Jia She handed a thick envelope to his personal guard and said.

Based on his years of experience in taking over letters for King Yan, Jia She could still clearly feel when he grasped the envelope that there should be more than one letter in the thick envelope, but it is very likely that there are two letters inside.

But there was no mark on the envelope, so he could not determine the importance of this letter. After all, the words "The King of Yan" were written on it.

Ye Qing on the city tower took the letter handed over by the personal guard, and then Jia She also stood quietly on the stairs of the city tower while Li Shier looked down at the letter. After seeing Ye Qing waved his hand and signaling that there was nothing wrong here, Jia She left the city tower with confidence.

After reading the letter, Li Shi'er saw Ye Qing staring at the letter he had just received in a daze. There seemed to be a hint of solemnity between his eyebrows, and subconsciously asked, "What's wrong?"

Ye Qing came to his senses, smiled at Li Shier, and said, "It's okay, it's just strange that there will be letters coming to Liaoyang at this time."

After arriving in Tanluo, the letters of almost every day were almost impossible to determine the exact time, but there were almost no letters of Tanluo only arrived at night. According to Zhao Paner's character and grasp, almost every letter would be chosen to arrive in the early morning in time. In this way, Ye Qing reserved enough time for replying to letters from Liaoyang, so that he would not have to think about many things in Liaoyang at night.

It has to be said that Zhao Paner is much more considerate in some details than others in Beidou, including Dong Chao.

Therefore, since the time from Liaoyang to Danluo, Ye Qing has almost become accustomed to receiving letters from Liaoyang in the morning, either giving a reply at that time or waiting for the evening to reply. In short, the control of time is much easier than before, and these are given by the understanding Zhao Paner.

It's already night now, but for the first time, I received a letter from Zhao Paner of Liaoyang, which made Ye Qing's heart instantly feel a little uneasy. After all, according to custom, this letter should only appear in front of him tomorrow morning.

However, Ye Qing did not open the envelope in his hand as soon as possible, and said lightly to Li Shier to go back, and then turned around and walked down the city tower alone.

Li Shi'er looked at Ye Qing's back and then asked loudly as if she had remembered something, "Aren't you going to wait for them to return here in triumph?"

"No more waiting." Ye Qing said without looking back. Li Shi'er frowned slightly with dissatisfaction, then looked at the dark night outside the city. After thinking about it, he still jogged for a few steps and followed Ye Qing down the city tower.

After getting on the carriage, Ye Qing still held the letter in his hand tightly, looked at Li Shi'er, who was a little depressed beside him, and took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, if Wanyan Fuxing was captured alive, he would definitely be brought back alive. But if..."

"I know, you want to say that you hope he will not be killed by his own personal guards and then use it to seek credit in front of you, right?" Li Shi'er frowned slightly and said unhappily.

Ye Qing sighed again. At first, he thought that Li Shier wanted to capture Wanyan Fuxing to avenge Wanyan Jing. Now it seems that Li Shier's purpose is not just to avenge Wanyan Jing. Moreover, even if Li Shier wants to avenge Wanyan Jing, he should find the biggest murderer Wanyan Xun.

However, Ye Qing did not ask Li Shi'er too much why he insisted on capturing Wanyan Fuxing alive. However, since he had agreed to her when he left Liaoyang, Ye Qing also hoped that Song Yuanqing and the others could bring back a living Wanyan Fuxing, rather than an unrecognizable corpse.

Zhao Paner's letters made Ye Qing feel a little heavy. Although Liu Ke's actions to return to Yanjing were no problem,... it was precisely because Liu Ke's return to Yanjing that the relationship between him and Zhao Kuo, which should have been no conflict, became confusing again.

Liu Keshi is now a minister of the Song court or a "thug" in the palace of Ye Qingyan. There is no doubt about this matter. No matter at any time, Ye Qing believes that Liu Keshi must always be loyal to him.

It is precisely because of Master Liu Ke's loyalty to him that in Master Liu Ke's eyes, even the King of Heaven can ignore it and make anyone's orders anxious. As long as it is not from Ye Qing's mouth, he can refuse to obey.

Therefore, although Liu Keshi returned to Yanjing, he was able to stabilize the situation in Yanjing, so as to avoid the emergence of two clearly divided groups of people confronting each other at this critical moment or at a delicate moment.

But it is precisely because of this mutual confrontation that the relationship between him and Zhao Kuo's monarchy and ministers has been covered with many uncertainties and shadows.

Furthermore... none of the women in Yanjing City are fuel-efficient. Li Fengniang's temper is self-evident. She was arrogant and domineering when she was young. She had been in the court for many years and had a short-term government experience, which made Li Fengniang develop the habit of being the same and not wanting others to go against her will.

Yan Qingcheng, Bai Chun, Zhong Qing and Yelu Yue in the mansion are also none of them are easy to mess with. Moreover, the four women have had some conflicts with Li Fengniang, and regardless of whether the main cause of these conflicts lies with her.

The relationship between Ye Qing and the court was extremely complex, just like the complex relationship between Yan Qingcheng and Li Fengniang. It is difficult to say it clearly in one sentence or two. Naturally, it is not possible to resolve the grudges between them just by mediating from it.

Ye Qing even believed that in this life, several women would live with their conscience and dissatisfaction. The best way is naturally to not violate the rivers and no one should provoke anyone.

The words of Zhao Kuo's letters revealed sincerity everywhere, and there was also a trace of helplessness. Ye Qing could almost tell from the familiar handwriting that when Zhao Kuo wrote this letter to himself, those places were completed in one go, and even the handwriting seemed extremely smooth. It was obviously the kind of time when writing this place was true feelings and flowing.

Some places with relatively heavy ink marks, especially some places where the characters are not so smooth, and the meaning below the literal words can be seen by Ye Qing. When writing this, Zhao Kuo obviously thought about it for a long time before he finished writing. Moreover, even after writing, some words were carefully selected in the selection and sentence making, Zhao Kuo's contradictory and entangled mentality at that time was revealed, which made some words look like they were not written by Zhao Kuo.

Li Shi'er came to the study with the steaming ginseng Tang. At first glance, he saw Ye Qing frowning and solemn expression. He put down the ginseng Tang and wanted to get close to Ye Qing to see what the letter in his hand was written, but Ye Qing leaned forward slightly without any trace, and then packed up Zhao Kuo's letter.

"What, are you afraid of me?" Li Shi'er's gentle and virtuous but charming look made Ye Qing feel a little uncomfortable.

"That's not, but..." Ye Qing said, sorting out other official documents on the desktop.

"Tsk, even if I want to show it to me, I'm too lazy to see it." After saying that, Fengqing gave Ye Qing a blank look, and then added: "I don't even look at it if you beg me."

Ye Qing sighed slightly, quickly calculated the itinerary in Danluo, and said to Li Shier with a smile: "You are not interested in the matter in Yanjing."

"Hmph, an excuse." Li Shi'er snorted, but she did not stop and personally served ginseng soup for Ye Qing.

Looking at Li Shier's gentle and virtuous look, Ye Qing smiled and said, "Zhao Kuo is about to arrive in Yanjing..."

"Ah? Ah!" Before Ye Qing finished speaking, Li Shi'er was the first to scream in surprise. Naturally, with a slightly stunned kung till, the hot ginseng soup in his hand burned his hand. Then he exclaimed again, hurriedly put down the bowl in his hand and asked, "Really? Why? Then what do you do?"
