Chapter 209 Borrowing

After talking about Zhao Gou in a daze, he just picked up the teacup and drank a sip of tea when Yu Yunwen's voice came to the door.

After the officials in Yangzhou where the entire post was located left, only the two of them were left.

Less than halfway through the reception banquet, Ye Qing had already retreated and then had tea in the room. Now seeing a burly man with some red light on his face, Yu Yunwen walked in, Ye Qing picked up the teacup and signaled: "Come here to have a cup of tea, relieve the wine?"

Yu Yunwen was not polite, and smiled and sat down next to Ye Qing, sighing: "You, Lord Ye, are you, you are amazing. You don't have to look at the faces of those people in the officialdom, and you don't have to take care of those people's feelings. Do whatever you want and leave as you want. Unlike me, even if you don't like it, you have to leave after the social engagement."

"This is as light as me. I am always looking at the banquet. Do I still want to make them ridicule me and look at me?" Ye Qing poured Yu Yunwen a cup of tea and said.

Yu Yunwen thanked him, picked up the teacup and smelled it, praised the good tea and said, "This is true. All the yamen have their own difficult sutras. I just don't know if Lord Ye can still give them face like today."

"I can't say that I am a very easy person to buy, but I may be instigated by them one day. Unlike you, most of the places on Huainan East Road were taken back by you, Lord Yu Yunwen, from the Jin people, so the officials in Yangzhou should be enthusiastic about you. I should envy you. Why do you turn around and envy me?" Ye Qing drank tea on his own and figured out the links, he had already made up his mind that no matter what, he would do his best to help Yu Yunwen and take the position of the comfort envoy of Huainan East Road.

"Then let's talk about the serious matter first?" Yu Yunwen put down the teacup and said seriously.

"Okay, I need anything to do, just give me the order." Ye Qing also put away his laziness and easy-goingness just now and said seriously.

"I borrow twenty people first. When I went north, only a few officials from Dali Temple accompanied me here. In order to prevent accidents, I hope to borrow some people from Lord Ye so that there will be no one available when I use people in these days." Yu Yunwen was not polite and said directly.

"Okay, no problem. Whether twenty people are enough, if not enough, fifty people, one hundred people will not be a problem." Ye Qing said seriously.

Yu Yunwen was stunned. He thought that Ye Qing would not refuse to lend him someone from him. After all, he knew that Ye Qing also had the imperial court in his hand to help him get the order. But he didn't expect that Ye Qing was so happy that he gave it to others without even asking for a single extra word.

"Since Lord Ye is so generous, I'm not polite, one hundred people." Before he finished speaking, Yu Yunwen laughed out loud at his backward behavior.

"No problem, I guarantee to obey you directly. When will you want it?" Ye Qing took out a token from his arms and pushed it directly to Yu Yunwen.

"The faster the better." Yu Yunwen took the token, thought for a while and suddenly asked, "Mr. Ye, I'm sorry to be aware of it. I heard them talk about it accidentally. You only have ten people in your hands. If you gave them all today, what should you do? Although the Imperial City Department handles the royal family, you should know the matter in Yangzhou..."

Yu Yunwen paused, and then said directly: "I believe you know it. Lord Ye, you can help me with the task. The primary person in charge of the case is Zhao Shixiong, the prefect of Yangzhou and the sacrificial envoy. He is still in charge of military affairs in Huainan East Road. He can dispatch all the troops stationed in Yangzhou. You and I are not safe in Yangzhou. If there are these hundred people..."

"I thought Lord Yu would not care about other people's lives or death. Since Lord Yu is so loyal, I will just say it. If Lord Yu wants a banned soldier of a thousand people at a critical moment, I, Ye Qing, can guarantee Lord Yu. You can feel at ease by saying this, right?" Ye Qing said with a smile.

As soon as he entered Yangzhou, Zhao Shixiong sent Peng Qi to invite him to the banquet. Although it was just a preliminary test of the two and there was no show at all, Ye Qing still felt the crisis. So before he left Yangzhou, he had already reported to Zhao Gou through Wang Lun that he allowed thousands of people from the Imperial City to leave Lin'an and secretly came to Yangzhou.

Now the situation between the two is indeed more dangerous as Yu Yunwen said.

Zhao Shixiong is the prefect of Yangzhou and also the appeasement envoy in charge of military affairs. If Zhao Shixiong is cruel or has other abnormal movements, such as rebellion or surrendering to the Jin people, then he and Yu Yunwen are indeed the first to be hit and will be directly killed by Zhao Shixiong.

Even if Yu Yunwen is honest, he can hear from Ye Qing's words that the Imperial City Office is obviously still hiding a thousand people in Yangzhou. Obviously, this time, the court made up his mind to rectify the Huainan East Road.

So he raised his thumbs up and said, "Gao, Lord Ye is foresighted, I admire him."

"I'm going to help you anyway. You can just give me any instructions. You can take away some things about Shen Fa in Sizhou. You can take them away at that time. As for Shen Fa, when will you want them and when will I bring them to you from Sizhou." Ye Qing accepted Yu Yunwen's praise and continued to say seriously.

"Don't worry, Shen Fa is easy to deal with. The problem is that this lion in Yangzhou can only be considered as a job done by taking him. If he can't take him, even if Lord Ye wins ten Shen Fa, it will be useless." Yu Yunwen mentioned Zhao Shixiong and frowned.

"Okay, you're worried first, I have to go out. It's not easy to do this job for others. Just accompanying you to drink tea will obviously not help Lord Yu." Ye Qing took the last sip of tea, then stood up and said.

Yu Yunwen was stunned for a moment, put down the cup and stood up and suddenly said, "So you have been waiting for me?"

"Yes, Lord Yu also knows that Zhao Shixiong holds military power. We are going deep into the tiger's den in Yangzhou, walking on thin ice. If you make any mistakes in Yangzhou, I will be in trouble too." After walking to the door, looking at the dark night, looking at the no one around, Ye Qing said directly: "Zhao Shixiong must be careful, Li Xizhi must be careful, I don't know if Lord Yu understands this?"

Yu Yunwen pondered for a moment, then looked at Ye Qing with clear eyes and said, "I understand, but I don't understand."

"As long as the court is responsible, pretending to be confused with me?" Ye Qing said.

"Are you a pacifier?" Yu Yunwen pondered.

"Yes, Li Xizhi was afraid that he was interested. It was the matter to pick you up from the dock today and pull me into his car. I let me stand by and watch everything in Yangzhou, but... I had an appointment with Lord Yu Yunwen in Lin'an, and I thought I would have the opportunity to fight against the Jin Dynasty in the future, so I didn't agree to him." Ye Qing walked to the carriage where Li San arrived, looked at Yu Yunwen behind him and said.

"So, your situation is even more difficult. Zhao Shixiong was going to investigate before, and Li Xizhi was going to guard against him later, but if I had no intention of comforting the envoy, wouldn't Li Xizhi be..."

"It's just your idea. What's the court's intention? The court sent you here, and you won't really think that it's just a simple investigation and handling case, right? Besides, even if you don't intend, people may not think so in their minds. Perhaps in their opinion, only dead people will not pose a threat to them. Who are you? Yangzhou was the first-class hero who was defeated by you. Even if the court did not intend to serve as a pacifier, I'm afraid that Li Xizhi and the people behind him will still regard you as a stumbling block and block the road." Ye Qing got on the carriage, lifted the curtain and said to Yu Yunwen who was thinking.

Then Yu Yunwen suddenly saluted Ye Qing in the curtain and said sincerely: "Mr. Ye's words made Yu educate him. As the saying goes, tigers are not hurtful, and people have the will to kill tigers. Thank you for your reminder."

"The original intention of Lin'an City remains unchanged, but you already owe me a drink of wine." Ye Qing smiled and said when he saw that Yu Yun was civilized.

"The slanting wind and drizzle building, the best girl and the best wine? Haha...no problem." Yu Yunwen mentioned this by Ye Qing, and then remembered that the bet between him and Ye Qing was not a bet on the day.

After watching Ye Qing's carriage leave, Yu Yunwen actually felt a sense of inexplicable comfort. Compared to dealing with his official figures, Ye Qing was very much in his appetite.

When they first met, they dared to offend the Ministry of Justice. After pointing out that there was someone behind Hong Zun, he was still not afraid. In the end, not only did he not lose his official position, but was also valued by the court. He arrived at Yangzhou, the capital of Huainan East Road, one step earlier.

Obviously, Ye Qing was valued by the imperial court, but he was helpless that the Imperial City Department could not just break Yangzhou. In addition, the court wanted to separate the military and political affairs of Yangzhou and choose a suitable pacification envoy. Then he, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, was the most suitable candidate.

Sitting in the carriage, according to the address given by Wang Lun, he was bumping in a muddy alley. The two lanterns in front of the carriage were like ghost fires, and they could not make this dilapidated and bleak alley look bright.

The mud and water pressed over the wheels, and the sound of clear water splashed in the quiet alley. The axle made a squeaking load-bearing sound. He walked slowly in the alley. As the carriage slowly stopped, Ye Qing, who was sitting on the shaft of the carriage, approached the lantern, looked at the address, and signaled to Poole Li San to knock on the door.

It started to drizzle, wetting Yangzhou City, which was a bit desolate in the middle of the night, and Pisan slapped the door several times. It was not until the two lanterns were about to be wet by the rain that the tattered wooden door creaked slowly.

Under the illumination of the lantern, an old man wearing a gray linen robe with wrinkles on his face and a messy white hair, as if he was half open with a pair of cloudy eyes, slowly raised his head with his body and looked at Ye Qing and Po Li San at the door.

"What's the price for you two to come here late at night?" asked the old man, who was about seventy or eighty years old, in his hoarse voice.
