Rela Gongji clearly knows how much benefit the connection between Ye Qing and Han Daochong can bring to each other's interest groups in the future.

This is why he would rather kill a newly appointed prefect of Lanzhou than turn against Ye Qing, because among the interests there is his own interests of public welfare.

Similarly, Ye Qing did not want to have a quarrel with Han Dao. In addition to his own interests, he also needed to contact the people of the Liao Dynasty through Xia Kingdom. Moreover, as he began to return to the Song court, he would not only face the unknown danger that Zhao Gou and other ministers would bring him, but also take into account the hatred of the Crown Princess Li Fengniang towards him.

Money can temporarily relieve Li Fengniang's hatred for him, but he also knew very well that Li Fengniang was afraid that she would take her life and avenge her shame.

Looking further away, in Ye Qing's analysis, as long as he was in Lin'an in recent years and could survive Zhao Gou relatively safely, then in the days to come, he would definitely need strong support as a background.

After thinking about it, Wanyan Jing, who was far away in the Jin Dynasty, could barely be considered a person. At critical moments, he could put pressure on Song Ting outside to help his people. In addition to Song Ting, he naturally needed someone to support him and was willing to say a few words of support for himself.

And this person is only the current Crown Princess Li Fengniang. After all, as time goes by, their relationship will become more complicated. Although this cannot change Li Fengniang's original intention of wanting her own life, before that, she was definitely a person in the Zhao Song clan who could give her real and powerful help.

Whether it is planning ahead or looking forward to the foresight, because he knows most of the reasons for the direction of contemporary history, he never believed that he was in an era when he grew up with the two powerful ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty: Han Tuozhou and Shi Miyuan, and could completely avoid these two people in the future or not have any conflicts with these two people.

So he needed to use some of his "prophets" to plan his future path for himself, and now he is already a person in the court. His identity as a Shaoqing of Dali Temple has completely dragged one of his feet into the court.

Starting from Lanzhou, Han Tuzhou and Zhao Ruyu talked about what Ye Qing and Rela Gongji last night, but they didn't even ask a word, as if nothing happened last night. It was just that the three of them had visited the scene of the romance and misfortune and then redeemed the two girls.

After leaving Lanzhou, he walked south along the official road, passed through Dingxi and Qinzhou, he entered the territory of the Song Dynasty. Liang Yan, who was redeemed by Han Tuozhou, followed Feng Jie, all sat in a carriage and only got off the car to move when he was resting. However, compared to that night, the clothes on the two women were much simpler than those in Jieyu Tower.

Zhao Ruyu never stopped teasing Han Tuozhou and Lanzhou, and Ye Qing would occasionally say something, meaning that he would not let Lao Han give you one?

But when Zhao Ruyu heard this, he immediately lost interest and shook his head repeatedly and said: Is it not suitable? I see Lao Han's appearance, as if he can't bear to leave any of them in the past two days.

Han Tuozhou was too lazy to pay attention to the jokes of the two. Since entering the territory of the Song Dynasty, the Zeng An army cavalry and infantry of the court came with the rolling smoke and dust.

Although the court still retains the number of Zeng An Army, especially Dingxi Army, Dingxi has obviously been the territory of Daxia for a long time.

Han Tuozhou, who had not appeared in the army for a few days, had piled up a thick stack of orders from the court in his hands after entering the Dasan Pass.

At this time, Liang Yan followed Feng Jie on the carriage and truly believed in the identities of the three people in front of him. Especially Liang Yan, when he saw Han Tuozhou giving orders in the army, his eyes were much brighter than during the period of time of travel, and there was a hint of comfortable smile on his face and mouth.

A team of nearly 200 people took a full ten days to reach Xingyuan City, which was one word different from the capital of Xia State from Lanzhou.

Instead of following Han Tuozhou to the yamen of Xingyuan City, they separated from Han Tuozhou after entering Xingyuan City and went to Xingyuan City at the inn that Han Tuozhou had prepared a long time ago at Han Tuozhou's instructions.

"I always feel like there is something missing along the way." Zhao Ruyu was idle. He looked at the scene where he seemed to be busier than Han Tuozhou. After arriving at the inn, there was no figure of Ye Qing's back, who was free from being idle.

"Continue to go shopping in the building tonight?" With the help of Wu Punishment, Lao Liutou and Xu Qing, Ye Qing was still tidying up some paper in his hands, turning his head to ask Zhao Ruyu, who was bored sitting on the chair.

From time to time, there were people who had just come in in the room and handed over the imperial decree to Ye Qing. These were the imperial documents sent by the Imperial City Office or the imperial court through Lufuzhou since entering the territory of the Song Dynasty.

"Do you still have this time?" Zhao Ruyu looked at the figures coming and going in the room and sighed boredly: "Since entering the territory of the Song Dynasty, you have received no less than that of the imperial court documents than Old Han. According to my Song Dynasty practice, there should be a large number of documents urging you to return to Lin'an now, right?"

"Anyway, it's a lot, but it's not enough for me to rush through the road overnight, right?" Ye Qing looked at the paper that was almost sorted out, and handed over the rest to Wu Jue and others to sort out. He turned around and sat down on the chair next to Zhao Ruyu.

"That's what you plan to go on the water?" Zhao Ruyu asked, pouring Ye Qing a cup of tea.

"Yes, get on the boat from Ankang and head south, passing through Xiangyang, Jingzhou and other places, and then arrive in Chizhou and then go to Lin'an by land or water." Ye Qing handed the map in his hand to Zhao Ruyu and said.

"Well, you can return to Lin'an early, but you have to be careful about the waterway. It is not as wide as the waterway in the south of the Yangtze River. In some places, the water flows rapidly and even places that are not suitable for boating. You still need to take the land route before changing the waterway. Alas... In short, every time you return to Lin'an, it is like a marching war to me, and I am very tired." Zhao Ruyu obviously wanted to return to Lin'an earlier, but before the imperial court's order came down, he, the prefect of Chengdu Prefecture, still needed to stay here and wait.

"There is nothing that can't be tired if you are on the road." Ye Qing smiled. He knew better than anyone else about the hardships of this era. After all, I am afraid that at this time, no one in the Southern Song Dynasty had been like him. He spent nearly two years to transfer most of the land of China.

"It's understandable that he shouted that he was tired. I'm afraid that it's not right?" Han Tuozhou's voice came from the door, and Liang Yan and Feng Jie were still following behind him.

Before Ye Qing could stand up and signal, Han Tuozhou signaled Liang Yan to follow Feng Jie to sit down on the other side, and casually pointed to the long row of servants holding various gifts standing at the door, and then said to Ye Qing: "This is my thank you for your favor in Lanzhou. Xingyuan is not as good as Jiangnan. There are not many things that can be taken out, let alone too many will also be a burden for you to rush on your way."

"If you can't bear to leave, you can't bear to leave. Why are you afraid of dragging people down? They went from Lin'an to the capital of Jin Kingdom, crossed the snowy grassland to Xia Kingdom, and then returned to the territory of our Song Dynasty. They didn't feel tired all the way..." Zhao Ruyu unceremoniously revealed Han Tuozhou's words covering his true intentions.

"Shut up, you know a lot? My Han family is not as good as the Shijia who controls the Maritime Affairs Bureau. How come there are so many big things? Even those outside are already my limit. If it were someone else, it would be good to give half of it." Han Tuozhou interrupted Zhao Ruyu without hesitation, and said without embarrassment on his face.

However, Liang Yan, who had been accustomed to Han and Zhao, had already been quarreling along the way, followed Feng Jie. When they heard the two of them quarrels again, they couldn't help but lower their heads and chuckled.

"In this way, I have to thank Mrs. Han? If it weren't for Mrs. Han, I'm afraid you wouldn't have acted so generous to me, Brother Han, right?" Ye Qing smiled and pointed at Liang Yan, and directly called him Mrs. Han without any hesitation.

Han Tuozhou was stunned when he heard Mrs. Han in Ye Qing's mouth, and then suddenly realized that he gave Ye Qing a tacit look. Liang Yan, who was beside him, heard the words "Mrs. Han" and his cheeks were red and shy, and he felt more embarrassed to raise his head in front of the few people.

Ye Qing reached out to take all the papers that Wu Jue, Xu Qing and others had sorted out. Before he could speak, Zhao Ruyu stood up from the chair and said, "I'll go out for some breath, you guys will chat first."

After Zhao Ruyu walked out, Wu Jue and others followed him out. Finally, Liang Yan and Feng Jie reacted. They hurriedly stood up and walked quickly to the door, and then paused, as if they were remembering something. After bowing their heads to Ye Qing and Han Tuozhou, they walked out quickly.

The room instantly became empty, leaving only Ye Qing and Han Tuozhou sitting on the chair.

"It's impolite to come without going. Since Brother Han is so polite and has given me so many gifts, I'll ask Brother Han to accept this little respect." Ye Qing handed all the thick paper to Han Tuozhou and said.

"What are these?" Han Tuozhou looked at Ye Qing with some confusion, and then his eyes moved towards Ye Qing along the table and pushed the thick paper in front of him.

"As the saying goes, a sword is given to heroes, and a red pink is given to beautiful women. Brother Han has never wavered his ambition to resist the Jin Dynasty and recover lost territory for many years. This is what makes me admire. After all, now my Song Dynasty is in a corner for many years, and except for the Northern Expedition of Longxing, there has been no war for many years. This makes it rare in the court that loyal and patriots who can never forget their original intentions like Brother Han. So whether it is useful or not, I think these should be given to Brother Han." Ye Qing said with a hint of respect and seriousness.

No matter how Han Tuozhou was evaluated in history, his will to recover lost territory and advocate resisting the Jin Dynasty has never changed. Just fighting for this point is worthy of Ye Qing's admiration.

Although the Kaixi Northern Expedition, which he launched many years later, also ended in failure, at least compared to others, he could always insist on regaining the country, unifying the Central Plains, and not fearing the Jin people. In Ye Qing's eyes, in the Southern Song Dynasty, Han Tuozhou is probably the only one who is in his heart.
