1322 Involuntarily

After Ye Qing returned to Liaoyang, he really had no plans to leave Liaoyang in the following days and hurried back to Yanjing.

Ye Qing's calm behavior was not only difficult for Zhao Paner to understand, but also some people in Yanjing City were difficult for him to understand why Ye Qing had no intention of returning to Yanjing now.

Ye Qing, who returned to Liaoyang, seemed to not care about the current severe situation in Yanjing to others. On the second day of returning to Liaoyang, he met Mo Xiaobao, Zhong Can, Yelu Yixue and other generals. Liaoyang in those two days seemed much more lively because of Mo Xiaobao and others returning.

Then, as several people left the city and went to the battlefield again, the entire Liaoyang became silent again. However, compared to the situation that seemed slightly panicked when Ye Qing had not returned to Liaoyang, the current situation has completely comforted the people and the entire Liaoyang Prefecture because of Ye Qing's relationship in charge of Liaoyang.

From this we can see that the influence it has only been for the Yan King Ye Qing who is in charge of Liaoyang without a soldier, and the importance of the influence it has produced to the hearts of the people and the morale of the army.

Similarly, the news of Wanyan Fuxing's surrender caused a thousand waves in the Jin Dynasty. This news was originally covered by Wanyan Xun and prevented other ministers from knowing it, but I don't know what happened. Suddenly one day, in the court, before the court meeting began, the court officials began to whisper in the hall and whispered each other. Wanyan Xun also felt that the influence and turmoil of Wanyan Fuxing's rebellion on the court was definitely far beyond his expectations.

However, what is a little surprised is that Wanyan Fuxing's rebellion did not cause any waves among the people, and even in the wine shops and teahouses, there were not many people talking about it. This made Wanyan Xun feel a little relieved and realized that in addition to the battle with the Song army outside Liaoyang City, he would have to comfort the people in the court in the shortest time.

Ye Qing, who was staying in Liaoyang, walked out of the study alone after meeting Mo Xiaobao and others until late at night.

Zhao Paner, who was sneaky not far away, finally discovered the secret between Ye Qing and Li Shi'er after Ye Qing returned to Liaoyang. Although she did not have enough evidence,... the woman's sensitivity and intuition still made her feel confident that the relationship between Ye Qing and Li Shi'er had become completely different.

So, tonight, as the lights in Ye Qing's study room finally went out, Ye Qing walked out of the study room and walked directly to Li Shi'er's courtyard, Zhao Pan'er's Yanjing instantly stared like a bull's eyes!

This was not surprising to her. What was most surprising was that Ye Qing, who naturally moved to Li Shier's courtyard, never came out again that night. Moreover... Li Shier's room, which was originally on, had its lights turned off shortly after Ye Qing entered, and then everything became quiet.

"This... how is this possible!" Zhao Paner couldn't believe it, and even couldn't believe the facts she saw.

Just as Zhao Paner, who was muttering to himself and incredible, was secretly lamenting the changeable world outside the courtyard door, Li Shi'er in thin pajamas wriggled into Ye Qing's arms like a maggot in the quilt.

Then he raised his head and looked at the solid chin, unconsciously stretched out his hand to stroke the short and hard stubble, and said, "When you came, did you not notice the tail following you?"

"Is it necessary to sneak into it?" Ye Qing took a deep breath and asked indifferently.

Li Shi'er was silent, and her emotions were a little complicated for a moment. I didn't know whether Ye Qing was so unavoidable. She was happy or sad about herself. She put her chin on Ye Qing's broad and strong chest, and almost all her weight was pressed on Ye Qing's body. Subconsciously stroked the stubble that made her palm itchy, and pouted in the dark: "If you, King Yan, are not afraid, I, Li Shi'er, are not afraid of anything. You don't want to go back to Yanjing because of this, right?"

"The time has not come, and it is natural that we have to go back." He reached out and stroked Li Shier's soft waist and back, took a deep breath and said, "Of course, you have to go back to the Yan Prince's Mansion with you at that time."

"Yan Prince's Mansion?" Li Shi'er had a hint of disdain on the corner of her mouth, then pressed half of her cheek against Ye Qing's chest. Listening to the powerful heartbeat, she was slightly silent and said: "Where is my place in the Yan Prince's Mansion? I'd better buy a house in Yanjing and live alone to live alone. I don't dare to live in your Yan Prince's Mansion. Maybe one day I will be poisoned to death in my room."

Ye Qing smiled knowingly, and then asked, "So that's it. I also said you are not afraid of them at all."

"I'm not afraid of them, I just don't want to argue with them!" Li Shi'er continued to whisper, but the rapid heartbeat that pressed against Ye Qing's chest was betrayed her.

The room was in silence, and the sounds of steady and long breathing were heard from each other. Ye Qing subconsciously stroked Li Shi'er's soft and smooth back. Li Shi'er continued to press half of her face against Ye Qing's broad and strong chest, but her mind had already flown to the distant Yanjing: Once she followed Ye Qing back to Yanjing, can she really live in peace with them? Can they really accept her without any conclusion?

Obviously, Li Shi'er could not get an answer for a while, and she even knew that even when she arrived in Yanjing, it would be difficult to get an answer in a short period of time. However, these did not affect her thinking about these questions now and falling asleep slowly in these questions that made her unable to find the answer.

When the first ray of sunshine in the morning spread into the courtyard, I thought about it all night last night, but I didn't understand why Ye Qing was spending the night in Li Shi'er's room. Zhao Pan'er, who took some important news early in the morning, first pretended to go to the courtyard where Ye Qing should have been in search of Ye Qing, and then came to Li Shi'er's courtyard with curiosity.

When the eunuch talked with Zhao Paner, Zhao Paner always seemed absent-minded, and his eyes were always wandering around Li Shier's room in the courtyard, as if he was afraid that he would miss something important.

However, Zhao Paner was obviously a little too cautious, because Ye Qing appeared at the door generously, and she was still... wearing pajamas, which made Zhao Paner, who had a hint of catching a villain, instantly felt that all the strategies she had thought about all night seemed to be useless all at once.

Zhao Paner, who was taken into the room by Ye Qing, first saw Li Shi'er dressing up in pajamas and dressing up under the service of palace maids. His eyes were a little incredible, and Li Shi'er turned around and showed a kind smile to her, which made Zhao Paner even more unbearable.

There are already some holidays between her and Li Shi'er. Although these holidays are not irreconcilable conflicts, since the day Ye Qing asked Zhao Pan'er to pick up Li Shi'er, the relationship between the two women has been relatively subtle. From time to time, they will compete secretly because of some trivial matters, and they have to decide the outcome.

During the days when they were together, the two women had their own victory and defeat, and they were evenly matched. Therefore, no matter when they met, they would never give each other a good face. Today, Li Shi'er gave Zhao Pan'er a good smile for the first time, which made Zhao Pan'er feel that Li Shi'er's smile seemed to be the winner's smile?

It seems...it seems to be...it is like when she is in a brothel with other sisters, and the sister who is favored by the guests always shows this...it seems kind, but in fact it is a provocative smile with the meaning of a winner. Even she is the same. I don't know how many times she has shown such a smile in front of those sisters.

Now, Li Shi'er is so kind but with the winner's provocative smile, it seems that she finally tastes the taste of failure.

He snorted in his heart, and then he faced Ye Qing's gaze with some guilt, and began to report to Ye Qing with those important news.

Ye Qing seemed to have seen through Zhao Paner's thoughts, so his sharp eyes made Zhao Paner, who had a hint of catching evil, seem more guilty. When reporting, he would stutter or say the wrong words from time to time, which would attract Li Shier's soft ridicule.

Ye Qing took advantage of Zhao Paner's inattention and knocked on his fair forehead again, and then said, "Okay, no need to say it, I know all these things."

"Oh, then I'll go out first?" Zhao Pan'er glanced at Li Shi'er disdainfully before saying to Ye Qing.

"The messenger sent this letter to Changling, and he had to hand it over to the slaves of the gods of Qi Shilie, and told him that it was the Queen Li Shi'er's intention. Now it is time for him to start making some moves. As for the Mongolians, I will help him solve his worries." Ye Qing said to Zhao Pan'er.

Zhao Paner, who lowered his head, didn't know how much he heard. In short, after Ye Qing finished speaking, Zhao Paner left the courtyard with a little embarrassed and guilty look under the provocative gaze of Li Shier who had finished dressing up.

The Qishilie Gods Slave guarded Changling without any action, which made Wanyan Xun, who was already in trouble with internal and external affairs, felt a little relieved. Even when he was transferred back to Wanyan Fuxing from Baozhou, Goryeo, and began to mobilize other troops from the country to start a war against Liaoyang, where Ye Qing was guarding, Wanyan Xun also wrote a letter to Qishilie Gods Slave. Unlike in the past, he had stood at the emperor's high position and talked to Qishilie Gods Slave, this time when Wanyan Xun wrote to Qishilie Gods Slave, he chose the old-style letter method when he wrote to Qishilie Gods Slave, and between the lines, he even placed himself on an equal position with Qishilie Gods Slave to talk to him.

In addition to commending the achievements of Qi Shilie's Gods' slaves in the past two years, they also mobilized some supplies to Changling as soon as possible after the letter arrived at Changling.

The reason why he chose such a close pleasing way to talk to the Qi Shilie Gods Slave was simply to take this opportunity to stabilize the Qi Shilie Gods Slave guarding Changling so that he would not suddenly rebel against Ye Qing or suddenly attack him because of the domestic situation.

Of course, the Qishilie Gods Slave guarded Changling, and there is another important task, which is naturally to defend the Mongolians and Yelu Liuge, who rebels from the Mongolians. Therefore, for Wanyan Xun, in the current internal and external difficulties, Wanyan Xun naturally could not offend the Qishilie Gods Slave, and even could not offend the Mongolians and Yelu Liuge, who guarded the front of Qishilie Gods Slave.

Before Ye Qing's letter reached Changling where Qishilie's Gods Slaves were located, Yu Yunwen, who was far away in Ruzhou, had already received a letter from Ye Qing. The content was naturally that when Qishilie's Gods Slaves began to attack the Jin Kingdom, especially when he was heading towards Huining Prefecture, he hoped that Yu Yunwen could lead his troops to restrain him. He might follow the actions of Qishilie's Gods Slaves in Changling, and follow the actions of the Mongolians and Yelu Liuge.

Of course, in addition to letters to the Gods of Qi Shilie and Yu Yunwen, Ye Qing also sent a letter to Temujin, who was already far away from Huarazimo.

Unlike the letters to the slaves of the gods of Qi Shilie and Yu Yunwen, in the letters to Temujin, Ye Qing also adopted the old-style conversation. In addition to recalling the friendship between the two, although he did not mention the assistance provided to Temujin in the past two years and other materials in the past two years, the content of the letter was in the whole article, in addition to the so-called brotherhood, it was the selfless help that Ye Qing gave to the Mongols and other things.

Of course, Ye Qing did this, hoping that when the full-scale war with the Jin Kingdom would begin, the Mongols would choose to stand by and watch instead of participating at critical moments.

When Yu Yunwen of Ruzhou had not taken any action according to Ye Qing's order, Yanjing had already learned about Yu Yunwen of Ruzhou.

Unlike others who felt at ease with Yu Yunwen, Li Fengniang, Zhao Kuo, Xie Shenfu and others in Yanjing City were deeply worried about Yu Yunwen's next actions.

In Anbei Mansion, Li Fengniang frowned, Zhao Kuo sat aside and looked a little relaxed, while Xie Shenfu, Han Yanjia and others had roughly the same expression as Li Fengniang, and they also had a sad face.

Yu Yunwen's next action in Ruzhou was like a heavy mountain pressing on their hearts.

"Mother, I don't know where Yu Yunwen will lead his army to now, so my son thought there was no need to worry so much." Zhao Kuo looked at Li Fengniang's sad face and comforted her.

Li Fengniang first sighed, then shook her head and said, "If Yu Yunwen takes action, it may be too late. For Ye... you should know more about Queen Yan than you. Every time this person acts, he seems to act with impulse, but every time he is carefully calculated. Yu Yunwen is about to take action in Ruzhou, so it is naturally impossible for him to act privately. He must have received the order from the King of Yan in Liaoyang."

"Sage, I think what the Empress Dowager said is very true." Xie Shenfu was wearing a simple casual dress, his old face was covered with wrinkles, but his eyes looked bright at this moment, and then said, "Sage, you have been in Yanjing for almost half a month. Although, because the King of Yan has military affairs in Liaoyang, you did not require him to return to Yanjing to pay your respects to you. However, at this time, the King of Yan should return to Yanjing to pay his respects to the Lord. However, after Ye Qing returned to Liaoyang from Danluo, he was indifferent. From this, it can be seen that Ye Qing now has a high position and power, and he has no intention of not taking the Lord in your eyes. This is the trend of his wolf ambition gradually emerging. Therefore... I think that at the moment, we must prepare more in advance."

Zhao Kuo glanced at Li Fengniang next to him, then looked at Xie Shenfu with a hint of laughter and laughter, and said, "Mr. Xie, I remember that when I first arrived in Yanjing, you advised me that if the King of Yan rushed back from Liaoyang to Yanjing after I arrived in Yanjing, then it means that the King of Yan, who has a high status and power in the north, has already become unjust, and is very afraid that I will seize all his rights in Yanjing when he is not in Yanjing, so he will rush back to Yanjing to prevent his rights from being taken away by the court. Is this... what Lord Xie said?"

Xie Shenfu frowned slightly and said nothing.

Li Fengniang looked at Xie Shenfu in surprise, but did not speak. Han Yanjia, who was beside him, sighed silently in his heart. He had already guessed what the young emperor would say next.

Sure enough, Zhao Kuo paused and continued, "Just today, you said that Ye Qing stayed in Liaoyang and did not return to Yanjing because he was blind and did not take me seriously. It was his wolfish ambition at work, so... I want to ask Lord Xie for the King of Yan, do you want King of Yan to return to Yanjing, or do you not want King of Yan to return to Yanjing?"

"This is one time and another." Xie Shenfu frowned, and there was no embarrassment on his old face. Even Li Fengniang next to him was a little stunned by Xie Shenfu's words, but Xie Shenfu still showed extreme calmness and continued in a muffled voice: "I didn't want Ye Qing to return to Yanjing at the time, because I was really afraid that Ye Qing was on guard against the emperor coming to Yanjing to seize power. But now, Yu Yunwen in Ruzhou is about to take action. Isn't this enough to show that Ye Qing is not going back to Yanjing now, but ordered Yu Yunwen to make some moves in Ruzhou. Isn't it just to guard against the emperor?"

"The war in Liaoyang is in full swing. How many troops are there under the command of the King of Yan in Liaoyang? It is only 50,000 or 60,000 people, and the Jin Dynasty's troops... but the whole country's strength is not a difficult task even if there are not hundreds of thousands, 100,000 or 200,000 people, right? So Yu Yunwen is now doing something in Ruzhou, how can he easily think that it is because I arrived in Yanjing?" Zhao Kuo asked lightly. Although there was no dissatisfaction in his tone, in front of the Empress Dowager Li Fengniang, to defend Ye Qing from Ye Qing's perspective, it is enough to see that Zhao Kuo's attitude towards Ye Qing, who was far away in Liaoyang was not as narrow as that speculated by Xie Shenfu, Liu Keshi and others.

"But... Yu Yunwen has made some moves in Ruzhou. At this time, it is inevitable that people will have imagination, right?" Li Fengniang saw Xie Shenfu's face dark, and Zhao Kuo said completely from Ye Qing's standpoint. This made Li Fengniang have to make a little compromise and concession in his tone when reminding Zhao Kuo.

"Mother, I believe that the move of the King of Yan is definitely not because I arrived in Yanjing. I guess there are other reasons... why I didn't inform us, the reason is probably related to the situation in Yanjing City." Zhao Kuo said at the end, with a little helplessness in his tone.

Even if he and Ye Qing can treat each other honestly, it does not mean that the others under their respective ranks can understand each other from the other's perspective just like the two of them.

Liu Ke returned from Liaoyang. Xie Shenfu, Han Yanjia and his mother Li Fengniang were all full of suspicion about the actions of the King of Yan. Zhao Kuo believed that these were probably not the original intentions of him and the King of Yan. But now, both of them have huge interest groups behind them, which makes their every move very likely to be misunderstood, which makes other people under each other often make judgments and actions different from their wishes.

Zhao Kuo was willing to believe that the actions Yu Yunwen was about to take in Ruzhou had nothing to do with Yanjing, just as Ye Qing was willing to believe that Zhao Kuo's purpose of coming to Yanjing had nothing to do with seizing the rights of the northern land.

"The Master, as the saying goes, you must be careful of others, and you must not have the intention to harm others. I think that even if you are willing to be tolerant of the King of Yan, in private, it is not impossible for us to make some necessary precautions. Since the Master believes in the loyalty of the King of Yan to the court, then the King of Yan should also understand some of the actions of the Lord. Therefore, I think that according to the current confrontation between the two sides of Yanjing, we should be wary of them. After all, there is a princess in the Prince of Yan’s Mansion holding five thousand elite soldiers, which is in this Yanjing city, and... they are also from Ruzhou.

The mobilized by Yu Yunwen, these have nothing to do with the court, and have never greeted the court. Just like that... Before you arrived in Yanjing, you were stationed in Yanjing. Now, you have been in Yanjing for nearly half a month. Logically speaking, should these people also withdraw from Yanjing? After all, no matter what, the Yanjing City where the emperor is located is now walking like a capital city. How can there be a large army that does not listen to the orders?" Han Yanjia said earnestly, and at the same time pointed out what the current conflict point in the situation in Yanjing is.

Zhao Kuo sighed slightly, ignoring the father-in-law Han Yanjia, but looked at Li Fengniang and said, "Mother, how about leaving this matter to the son-in-law?"

Li Fengniang, who was originally sleeping and resting, slowly opened her eyes and looked at Zhao Kuo seriously and carefully. After looking at each other for a while, Li Fengniang's attitude finally softened and she whispered: "Okay, the mother is not inconvenient to continue interfering in Yanjing, but... the mother still wants to remind you that you have just arrived in Yanjing and you need to be more careful in some things. No matter what your attitude towards the King of Yan is, after all, these are the country of the Song Dynasty and the burden on you.

And the ministers in your court are far more than the King of Yan. The harmony between the king and the ministers and being honest will naturally be happy. It is a great blessing for the court, the country and the people. But if there is a disagreement between the king and the ministers and their own attitude, the queen still hopes that you will make plans early. Over the years, the King of Yan has experienced all kinds of difficult situations. Even if it is a life-and-death situation, he can play a chess game in life, and even he can laugh to the end every time."

After Li Fengniang finished speaking, Zhao Kuo felt a little relaxed in his heart, and then smiled and promised: "My mother, don't worry, my son has grown up, and some things have their own opinions. My son will naturally be responsible for the country and country of the Song Dynasty. Of course, I will not let my mother down your expectations."

After being refuted by Zhao Kuo for a few words, Xie Shenfu kept his face gloomy and stopped talking. When Han Yanjia was speaking just now, he was still very dissatisfied with Han Yanjia's attitude, thinking that Han Yanjia should stand on the same position as him at this time.
