The incident of Ye Qing returning to Yangzhou has begun to make people talk, especially the officials in Lin'an court, headed by Zhao Ruyu and Liu Zheng. These days have passed by, like walking on thin ice. I don't know when, the knife that has been vaguely placed on their necks will fall.

Most people were still talking privately. This time Ye Qing came back to show off with the court or argue with the emperor. But no matter what, although Ye Qing had not arrived in Lin'an, the entire Lin'an had already shown a sense of turbulent tension as he was at the city.

Especially when people knew that Ye Qing went south to Yangzhou this time, although he only brought back 3,000 people, these 3,000 people fought with him last year, and finally fought a bloody road and escaped from the Tiantian Zanghua family army, everyone couldn't help but feel a chill. In panic, people began to realize that Ye Qing was really coming this time, just like the time when Xinwang Mansion was the same.

Although there are not many three thousand people, when such an army is an iron-blooded army that has emerged from the desperate situation of death but not life, no one dares to underestimate this army, although not many, it is definitely the most loyal and most elite force under Ye Qing's command.

After all, such an iron-blooded army that was not very prominent before, but in the battle of Guanshan only lost about 2,000 people, but slaughtered a large iron-blooded army of more than 20,000 people, which had always been known for Xiaoyong and fierce, and even 30,000 soldiers. Who dared to think that he was able to withstand their fierce killing?

What's more, there is a hero like Ye Qing, who is on the battlefield. In the battle of Guanshan, a single person can shock the 20,000 troops of the Jin Kingdom, making it impossible for him to move forward in an instant. In the end, he had to return in shamelessness and finally lost the three Hetao routes.

Although Ye Qing was cruel and ruthless, holding power and decisive, people still thought that he was still under control. At most, he was a tiger in a cage raised by Emperor Gaozong. He could only scare and scare them, courtiers, and could not hurt them at all.

Even though someone was injured under Ye Qing's fangs before, in their opinion, it was more because of Emperor Gaozong's instructions behind him. Ye Qing could only be regarded as a quick knife in the hands of Emperor Gaozong.

So when people had to start looking back on Ye Qing's journey after Ye Qing arrived in Yangzhou, they realized that the real purpose of the last Lin'an chaos was not only for King Xin. Looking back now, it seems that it was specially designed for Ye Qing, but in the end... Emperor Gaozong took a King Xin, but he couldn't do anything about the quick knife he raised.

For a moment, after thinking about the various links in the secret incident that year, some people couldn't help but feel dark, or they secretly regretted that it would be great if Emperor Gaozong had eliminated Ye Qing at that time. Perhaps there wouldn't be such a hero like Ye Qing, who could suddenly make the court's three-pointed attitude appear.

Three days after Ye Qing arrived in Yangzhou, Han Tuozhou led 8,000 people back to Lin'an. The barracks outside Lin'an City became the camp of the army he led. Although he came back very low-key and let the court officials greet him solemnly in Lin'an City, this time he was obviously feeling a bit of solemn and solemn.

Naturally, anyone with discerning eyes could see that at this time, Han Tuozhou suddenly brought 8,000 people back to Lin'an, obviously targeting Ye Qing, a hero in the north.

Han Tuozhou now seems to be very afraid of Ye Qing, especially the three documents from the Left Prime Minister, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Emperor were like a rock sinking into the sea, with no news. Then Ye Qing appeared on Huainan East Road, which made Han Tuozhou immediately realize that Ye Qing had told them with a tough attitude that he would not give up Huainan East Road.

Ye Qing of Yangzhou was tough, but Han Tuozhou from Lin'an chose to avoid his edge. Even after eight thousand people were stationed in the camp outside the city, they chose the barracks of Lin'an Imperial Army outside the city. Han Tuozhou did not even put even a single person in the camp where the Imperial City Division was idle outside the city.

Han Tuozhou avoided his edge and did not want to confront him head-on. Ye Qing from Yangzhou was facing tit-for-tat and pressing forward step by step. Just the second day after his eight thousand men were stationed in the imperial guard camp, the two thousand Hua family troops had no warning, and did not inform anyone or the court. He entered the imperial city camp overnight like a divine weapon descending from the sky.

A series of actions made the entire Lin'an City instantly shaking turbulence. In the changing wind and clouds, the sunny sky of the entire Lin'an City seemed to be pressed against a thick layer of dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and the storm that was about to come seemed to overturn the entire Lin'an City at any time.

The culprit who made an aggressive and tough attitude is still leisurely wandering around Yangzhou City. He either went to the government office to take a casual look at what Xiao Zhen and the others did next, or he was holding his daughter-in-law without leaving at home for a moment, and he was so silly.

Ye Gucheng and Ye Wuque went to the academy. Yan Qingcheng did not build a separate academy for the two brothers and their future daughters-in-law in the mansion, but chose to go to the academy to study together.

So Ye Qing, who has two tails missing around him on weekdays, has more time to hold his daughter and stop letting go.

After the concierge Liang Xing followed Bai Chun and went to Chang'an, the concierge was replaced by another eunuch pottery. This pottery was dug out three feet from the ground. Of course, it was made by the eunuch who was like a master of the great house, and then it became the concierge of Ye Qing, the hero of the northern region.

An ordinary official residence actually has two eunuch gangs. It has to be said that Ye Qing still has the intention of no longer hiding his ambitions. In addition, since he returned to Yangzhou, he has acted even more aggressively and extremely toughly. Even Yan Qingcheng felt that Ye Qing's temperament had completely changed.

But she didn't know whether this change changed because of the battle between Guanshan and the situation in the Lin'an court. However, no matter what it changed, when she looked at Ye Qing, she felt a sense of terror. She could no longer find the simple and easy-going feeling when she first met Ye Qing. She was just as relaxed as a guard she hired for money from Yan Mansion.

"Aren't you going back to Lin'an?" Yan Qingcheng walked into the corridor pavilion, and the fan in his hand began to snatch Ye Xiaofeng in Ye Qing's arms, and the little guy directly wanted to snatch the fan in her hand.

"Don't worry, there's still time." Ye Qing saw Yan Qingcheng teasing his baby daughter with a fan, so he snatched it and stuffed it directly to Ye Xiaofeng. Then, naturally, Yan Qingcheng gave Ye Qing a white look in a charming manner, bent down and picked up the fan that Ye Xiaofeng couldn't handle and fell directly to the ground.

"You really want to form another army in Yangzhou?" Yan Qingcheng rarely asked about Ye Qing on weekdays, but she only focused on this family. Even though the situation changed now made her a little scared, she was even more afraid.

But she was not like Zhong Qing and Bai Chun, who could speak ruthless words, and even directly pointed out her attitude.

She didn't want Ye Qing to embark on the road of eternal infamousness that would be punished by the world's people, but now it is like it is incompatible with the situation in the court. For a moment, Yan Qingcheng didn't know what to do.

Neither want to support Ye Qing like Bai Chun and Zhong Qing, but he doesn't want Ye Qing to always be passive under the pressure of the court.

The essence of Yan Qingcheng is more about being a businessman. When he was young, he also had lofty ideals and ambitions. He hated the Jin people to the core. He also hoped that the court would one day be tough on the Jin people, and then kill the Jin people without leaving any armor, and recover all lost land with a rainbow momentum, so that all the people of the Song Dynasty could be proud.

But she was still very simple at that time, and she was innocent. She did not realize that regaining a city and a land was far from as simple as imagined. The mixed interests and contradictions, the complexity in the court, the open and secret struggles between officials, the distribution of interests and ties between interest groups, the attitudes and pressures of the royal clan, etc., were far less simple than imagined.

The surface of each city and land was recovered. Apart from the list of soldiers who could be seen and the territory was included in the surface of the Song territory, she did not go into the depths too much. In a seemingly simple war, Ye Qing had to fight against the Jin people, but also fight against the person behind her.

During the battle of Guanshan, major forces and interest groups gradually emerged, either stabbing the knife in the back, like Zhao Ruyu and Liu Zheng, or like Shi Miyuan and Han Cheng watched the show in the Lin'an court, provoking discord, or like Han Tuozhou, it was even more sinister. He actually wanted to covet Huainan East Road behind his back when Ye Qing guarded the front line.

Everything that happened since the Battle of Guanshan made Yan Qingcheng finally see clearly that war is far from being as simple and sacred as she thought, and war is far from being able to win one victory after another by the soldiers on the battlefield, and to regain cities after another.

The interests involved in all aspects, the open and secret struggles of various forces and groups, the intrigue among colleagues, etc., make the commander of the first army not only have to face the murderous intent of the enemy, but more importantly, he must always beware of his own people behind him who will suddenly shoot cold arrows in secret.

"There is no way, Huainan East Road needs a large army to guard it, let alone..." Ye Qing handed over Ye Xiaofeng in his arms to You'er. After watching You'er's back leave, he looked at Yan Qingcheng who had become more charming these days and said: "The victims of the North Fourth Road, whether you or Xiao Zhen, can't be completely settled. Once these people are full and drink, no one knows what they will do. There is no one in the world who can satisfy them, so I need to select some people from them to form an army, which can not only relieve the pressure on Huainan East Road, but also maximize their value."

Yan Qingcheng looked at Ye Qing silently. Now she is becoming more and more steady and mature, and she is becoming more and more like the heroine of the family. She sighs slightly, sits down next to Ye Qing, and subconsciously grabs Ye Qing's hand and flies around.

"After you slept last night, looking at the dense scars on your chest, it was really heartbreaking. At first, when we came to Yangzhou, I followed me. I never thought that there would be such messy things behind me. At that time, I was reluctant to leave Lin'an, but I was married after all. My husband said that he would go wherever he went, and there was no reason for his wife to be a wife. Now it seems that Lin'an may not be suitable for us, but I didn't find it before. It turned out that Lin'an, which was full of flowers, was so sinister and dirty behind his back, and was full of danger everywhere." Yan Qingcheng continued to flip Ye Qing's hand between her hands.

"Why, do you regret it now?" Ye Qing asked with a smile, holding Yan Qingcheng's hand in reverse.

"I didn't, I'm afraid you would regret it." Yan Qingcheng turned his head and looked at Ye Qing with a rare naughty smile that had not seen for a long time. After a smile, he continued to say seriously: "I just felt sorry for you and felt that you were too tired. When I knew that you were in danger, I had the heart to die. I made up my mind from the beginning. As soon as I heard the bad news of you, Ye Qing, I would go down to accompany you immediately. But later I lay on the bed, holding the scissors and thinking, what should I do if I followed you, what should the child do? Who will raise us? Who will let them pass on the Ye family's family and spread their branches? Bai Chun will definitely go with you, and Zhong Qing will not live. Qingyan is not a mother who carries children, and she doesn't care about the daughter she gave birth to. Although You'er and the others are suitable to take care of you, the two brothers are also close to You'er, but they still can't bear to leave the child in their hearts..."

Ye Qing's back of his hand was already wet and cold. He did not help Yan Qingcheng wipe his tears, nor did he make a sound to comfort the beauty leaning on his shoulder. He just kept looking at the small lake in front of him with a faint smile.

"I'm dead. Whether it's you, Yan Qingcheng, Zhong Qing, Bai Chun or Qingyan, I hope you can live well. Even if it's for me to keep my eyes open underground, you must live strongly." After a long time, Ye Qing sighed and continued, "Actually, I miss the carefree time. Don't think about so many things, beware of so many people who want to kill me. It's good to use your Miss Yan every now and then, relying on my cleverness to cheat some money for wine. If it's more powerful, I'll seduce you, the lady. And I've thought about it at that time. If your father doesn't agree, I'll cook the rice with you, and then..."

Yan Qingcheng laughed and cried while listening, and from time to time he pinched his pink fists and beat the annoying Ye Qing: "I'm not as stupid as you said. For those five hundred taels of silver, do you think I'm really stupid and willing to be deceived by you..."

"So, you fell in love with me at first sight? You didn't think about seducing me at that time, right?" Ye Qing asked in surprise.

"Bah, I didn't fall in love with you at first sight. My silly hair was different from ordinary people, like a monk in a temple. At that time, you were just a small imperial guard. Although the imperial guards had a bad reputation, with the Yan family's family background at that time, if you really cheated me of five hundred taels of silver, it would be fine, but I can guarantee that you will definitely pay the price, hum." Yan Qingcheng took Ye Qing's hand to wipe his tears, as if he was back to the time he first met.

"Ah... Actually, if I cheated you five hundred taels of silver, I would take advantage of it if I didn't see me. You don't know that Bai Chun always regarded herself as a sister-in-law at that time, and there was no more than one tael of silver in my pocket..." Ye Qing was still immersed in the past and said happily.

Miss Yan next to him suddenly raised her head from his shoulder, looked at Ye Qing with a serious expression and asked, "Tell me honestly, should you fall in love with Bai Chun first, or like me first?"

Official Ye’s pupils instantly dilated: This is a question that is given away!

However, Ye Qing immediately recovered his calmness and said, "Of course it's you."

"When Bai Chun asked you, you would say of course it was you Bai Chun!" Yan Qingcheng curled his lips disdainfully: "I know you can't believe it! Do you dare to say this in front of me and Bai Chun?"

"Okay, no problem. Call Bai Chun over and confront us three of us..." Ye Daren said with greater confidence. Anyway, Bai Chun was still in Chang'an, thousands of miles away at this time, and I was afraid that she would be a bird.

Lord Ye was still stubbornly stubborn as a man with his wife. At this time, because of his two thousand Hua family troops, the uneasy Lin'an City, Han Cheng had to go to the palace to discuss with the queen how to deal with Ye Qing's next countermeasures.

In the Cining Hall, when Han Cheng walked in, he happened to look at the ten-year-old British Duke. Perhaps he was scolded by Queen Li Fengniang and left with the palace maid.

The British Duke Zhao Kuo was quite polite. Even though he was scolded by his mother Li Fengniang, when he saw Han Cheng walking towards him, he still took the lead in saluting respectfully. After Han Cheng returned the salute, he slowly followed the palace maid to leave the Cining Hall.

Looking at the British Duke Zhao Kuo with his cheeks without a trace of the saint, and looking at Li Fengniang sitting in the head, even Han Cheng had to secretly praise him in his heart. In terms of appearance, the British Duke completely inherited the advantages of Queen Li Fengniang. When he became an adult, he must be a handsome and elegant young man.

When Han Cheng looked at the British Duke Zhao Kuo, Li Fengniang, who was in the head of Cining Hall, was also looking at Han Cheng's expression calmly. As Zhao Kuo grew up, what she was worried about did not happen to him, but she was always worried about whether this child's appearance could escape the indulgent Han Cheng's eyes.

At this time, looking at Han Cheng's back at Zhao Kuo, a smile of praise appeared, and Li Fengniang's heart began to slowly relax.

Over the years, due to some unknown reasons, she had to keep Zhao Kuo and the court officials. But now, as Zhao Kuo has reached ten years old, although her appearance cannot be said to have been fully formed, at least her face and appearance can already see some shadows of adulthood.
