Nine hundred and eighth chapter at the foot of the mountain

Han Tuozhou took Zhao Fang's careless expression and calmly saw it, and did not warn Zhao Fang not to provoke Ye Qing on his own initiative, so as not to ask for trouble.

In short, he also had a glimmer of hope in his heart. It would be fine to test Ye Qing in the upcoming battle. Moreover, Ye Qing put the two thousand Hua family troops outside Lin'an City without saying anything, obviously it was for him to see Han Tuozhou.

So if Zhao Fang could give him a warning before Ye Qing came to Zhenjiang Mansion, then it would naturally be considered an additional gain.

However, he did not have much hope for this. Ye Qing could only live in Lin'an, helpless, from a small imperial guard to a high position today. It was obviously not a futile reputation.

It is not just that the promotion of Emperor Gaozong and the appreciation of the current Supreme Emperor Zhao Sheng, who can reach this point today must be because of his extraordinary scheming and forbearance.

Moreover, over the years, I have been watching him, and he is like himself, rising up in the court, even vaguely surpassing him.

Shi Miyuan is not afraid of it after all. This is what Han Tuozhou gave to Shi Miyuan in his heart. So at this moment, Ye Qing is his biggest opponent in the future who wants to be powerful in the court.

Han Tuozhou was thinking about the map here, and Ye Qing, who was there, chatting with Taozi from time to time, or discussing the political affairs of Huainan East Road with Xiao Zhen and Shen Mu.

Jia She was always reluctant to speak, and finally, after the cheerful laughter of several people stopped, hesitated and said, "Sir, should you inquire about the road to Zhenjiang in advance?"

"No need, will Zhong Can come back from Jingzhao Mansion tomorrow? Don't run to me all the time these days, and rest at home for a few days, otherwise your father will blame me again. Now Ling Zun is the vice president of the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce with real power. I can't afford to offend now." Ye Qing smiled and joked about Jia She.

Jia She scratched her head awkwardly and embarrassedly, and then without waiting for him to speak, with Ye Qing starting, Xiao Zhen, Shen Mu, and pottery began to joke about Jia She.

The year before yesterday, Jia Wei made a marriage for Jia She. He originally wanted to get married with Ye Qing and returned to Liao Kingdom, but obviously they did not expect that Jia She and Ye Qing went north for another year and a half, so their daughters were almost waiting for the old girl to finally wait for Jia She to return to Yangzhou.

So a few days ago, before heading to Shouchun Mansion, Jia Wei did not dare to discuss with Ye Qing, so he had to discuss with Yan Qingcheng first and then let Jia She get the marriage done.

"How is it? You kid has turned from a boy to a man overnight. Do you feel the beauty of a woman?" Xiao Zhen joked imprudently, and at the moment, Jia She was already blushing and helpless.

When going to the battlefield to kill the enemy, even when facing a cavalry that is stronger than himself, Jia She would not be afraid. He would dare to rush to kill with a knife, but now facing Xiao Zhen's words, he could not find a way to relieve the embarrassment.

"One day I will bring your young wife here to let me quietly see if she is a good woman who can give birth to a boy for your Jia family." Pottery has the virtue of a ruffian Tao Qian on weekdays. He is obviously a complete eunuch, but he always likes to call himself a husband.

Jia She had no choice but to deal with Xiao Zhen, but there was still some way to use pottery. She rolled her eyes and said angrily: "Mr. Tao, my wife gave birth to a boy and a girl. Lord Ye said that it was a man's business, not on the woman's belly. Besides, you..."

"You kid gave me the dagger I just gave you. I don't plan to give it to you anymore. Your kid's mouth is so poisonous? Although I was a eunuch in my early years, don't forget that I was in the palace back then... Forget it, a hero will not mention his courage." While speaking, pottery was about to search Jia She's body and take back the dagger he just gave.

"Can you still be considered a hero?" Jia She was not polite at all. Finally, he was no longer embarrassed. After getting Ye Qing's approval, he ran out, causing Taozi to scold the bastard behind him for being eaten by the dog.

Seeing Jia She running out of the study and making faces at him, Taohua still reminded him: "That dagger has been with me for the rest of my life, please take care of me."

"Don't worry, this dagger is here with me, I guarantee that I won't be lonely." Jia She responded loudly.

Ye Qing kept smiling but didn't say anything, but after Jia She left, the smile on her face quickly disappeared. She continued to talk about what happened next with Xiao Zhen and the other two, and her heart began to become a little absent-minded.

He knew and agreed with Jia She's marriage. What he was even more fairy than pottery was that he also knew that Jia She would definitely give birth to a girl and then give birth to a boy.

Even if you ask Ye Qing and Ye Qing to pinch his fingers, stroke his beard, and mumble a few words in a mysterious way, he can still calculate that Jia She's daughter will eventually become Concubine Jia of the Song Dynasty, and his son was also out of control in the court because of his sister's glory, and eventually became a powerful prime minister named Jia Sidao.

After staying in Yangzhou for five days, Ye Qing officially stepped into the territory of Zhenjiang Prefecture on the afternoon of August 14, the second year of Shaoxi. In this way, he arrived at Liangzhe West Road within the time specified by the court.

From Yangzhou to entering Zhenjiang Prefecture, Jia She led only 200 guards to follow Ye Qing. As for the thousand Hua Family Army and Zhong Can, he didn't know where the current location was. He even knew that Zhong Can returned to Yangzhou two days ago, and then went there and what he did.

Jia She is extremely curious and knows his responsibilities and identity very well. Therefore, he always ignores some obscure things, but he just does his best to take charge of Ye

Qing's comprehensiveness.

After entering Zhenjiang Prefecture, Jia She became extremely cautious and cautious. In addition, they were already close to Dantu County, which was very close to Zhenjiang Prefecture. Looking at the mountain range called Ningzhen Mountain, Jia She always felt something was wrong.

The scorching sun in August burns the entire earth, and even the lush Ningzhen Mountain in front of you looks a little wilted, with the lifeless greenness that cannot bring even a trace of coolness.

The spring water flowed through his feet and made a clear sound. Several fish of different sizes were frightened by the group of people in the clear water. They did not intend to enter Dantu County, but instead rushed directly from the official road to Ye Qing in Yangzhou, looked at Ningzhen Mountain behind him, pointed to a flat place at the foot of the mountain, and signaled to rest here before rushing.

Jia She took the order and left. He assigned different responsibilities by his two hundred guards. He was even careful and even scattered dozens of people as marching scouts of the army. Even in the dense mountains behind him, Jia She did not let go.

"Sir..." Jia She, who had arranged everything, handed the water bag to Ye Qing with sweat on her head, then looked around and murmured: "I always feel something is wrong, especially when crossing the river, I feel as if someone has been staring at us secretly. Should I take a break and leave here immediately? Ning Zhenshan looks very strange."

After the Battle of Guanshan, Ye Qing became more and more "golden" in their eyes. Now, whether it is Jia She and other personal guards, or officials from all walks of life in the north, they all have realized the importance of Ye Qing as the backbone. At the same time, they have to admit that if Ye Qing had an accident, the entire northern region would probably be destroyed immediately in a short period of time, and even the scum that was eroded by the Jin people and the Xia people took the opportunity to be eaten away.

"Don't worry, there will be no problem." Ye Qing returned the water bag to Jia She, looked at the sunshine above her head, and said, "I should be able to arrive at Zhenjiang Mansion before dark..."

Before Ye Qing finished speaking, a scout ran over and reported to Ye Qing: "Sir, General Zhong is asking for a visit."

"Zhong Cannabi?" Jia She was immediately overjoyed. Along the way, he protected Ye Qing's vitality alone, which made him under great pressure. Now that he knew that Zhong Cannabi finally appeared, Jia She naturally felt that the pressure on her shoulders was much smaller.

With one more person accompanying him to protect Ye Qing, for him, he doesn't have to spread the limited number of people too much, and he can completely protect it by calmly laying it around Ye Qing.

With Ye Qing nodding, the scout immediately turned around and left. Jia She's face was filled with joy and said with some excitement: "Now, I don't have to be distracted anymore. Just look at the surroundings of the adults. Let Zhong Can do the things around him."

"It's in my Song Dynasty now. Are you so nervous? It's like fighting a war." Ye Qing said with a smile.

Jia She shook her head repeatedly and retorted: "That's not possible. The general of Mo cannot bear the responsibility of this inadequate guard. If something goes wrong, even if you don't pursue it, Lord Xiao Zhenxiao, Lord Yu Yunwen, Lord Xin Qiji, etc. I'm afraid he will chop the general up and feed it to the dog."

Noisy footsteps came not far away, and under the guidance of the scout just now, Zhong Can was walking towards them with several soldiers. Among the crowd, there was a man tied up and looked very honest.

There was not much blood on Zhong Can't do it, but there were still some fresh blood on the bodies of the soldiers in front of him.

Everyone who walked over was sweating profusely, especially the very strong and honest man tied up. After approaching, he could clearly see that in addition to the sweat on his forehead, he was already sweat-soaked in his body.

The hemp rope tied to the body was tightly tied into the flesh, making his arms unable to do even a slight movement.

"Who?" Ye Qing pointed at the honest man with his chin and asked Zhong Can with a smug smile casually.

Jia She also looked at Zhong Canon for a while, then looked at the honest man, and asked, "Golden Spy?"

"I don't know, I'm very stubborn and refuse to speak." Zhong Can shrugged her shoulders, then kicked the honest man on the knee. The honest man who was originally standing, knelt down at Ye Qing on the ground covered with gravel.

He wanted to struggle to get up in an instant, but before Zhong Can could move, the soldiers of the Hua Family Army behind him punched him in a struggled head. The honest man instantly lost his center of gravity and directly hit the ground.

"When you crossed the river, there were several rafts following you. All the men were picked up. They were all carrying guys. They didn't look like bandits, but like some army." Zhong Can looked at his soldiers indifferently, grabbed the honest man's hair roughly, and asked him to kneel in front of Ye Qing again, and continued, "Then the men went ashore first and captured the goods with the others who arrived here in advance. Of course, the rest were thrown into the river and fed the fish."

Ye Qing smiled calmly, looking at the honest man who was pressed on his shoulder and kneeling on the ground and continued to struggle, his eyes had already become swollen because of the punch from the Hua Family Army just now, which made his originally honest look a little hideous.

"Let him talk." Ye Qing smiled casually, and the branches in his hand were unconsciously doodled on the ground.

Zhong Can nodded, but instead of pulling out the rag stuffed into the honest man's mouth with his own hands, he said to the soldier next to him: "Take your smelly socks out of his mouth."

As the somewhat embarrassed soldier pulled out the torn socks from the honest man's mouth, the honest man gasped hard, and then snorted coldly: "I will never frown if I want to kill and cut, but if I want to speak, I will die."

"So, you came for me?" Ye Qing's expression was still calm

Asked casually.

"Are you Ye Qing? If you were Ye Qing, I would have come to you." The honest man's eyes were obviously more domineering and ferocious than his face.

"Yes, I'm Ye Qing." Ye Qing looked at the honest man who was still pressed to kneel on the ground. His knees had been worn out by the gravel on the ground. At this moment, blood was oozing out slightly and he continued to ask casually: "So you won't tell me who asked you to come, right?"

"Even if you kill me, I won't say it." The honest man snorted coldly.

"It's not enough to kill you, it's not worth the loss. People will slander me, Ye Qing, who framed my colleagues. This matter is not worth it, I won't be fooled." Ye Qing said with a smile, shook his head, and then he still had an easy-going smile on his face, and his tone became more casual and careless, but in the ears of the honest man, his hair suddenly stood up and his scalp was numb: "Take out the nails of his little finger."

"Ye Qing, you dare..." The honest man was stunned and struggled in an instant and wanted to get up to fight Ye Qing's desperate efforts. However, at this time he was pressed tightly. And while he was talking, the well-trained soldiers of the Huacao family army took advantage of this opportunity to stuff the smelly socks into his mouth again.

Seeing the honest man struggling fiercely, the soldiers of the Hua family army were holding him together at this time, and the other person's hand had reached to his fingers tied behind him.

"Sir..." Zhong Can whispered in front of Ye Qing: "I'm afraid this guy will not be too small, so you are not afraid..."

"No matter whether it was Han Tuozhou's actions or not, people have sent the gifts to the front. Isn't it appropriate for you to keep them?" Ye Qing said with a chuckling, while the honest man kneeling in front of him opposite him was now red in his eyes, beads of sweat as big as beans seeped out of his forehead, and then rolled down his cheeks.

Zhong Can nodded. Since Ye Qing said so, of course he had no objection and was eager to take this opportunity to give Han Tuozhou a warning.

Moreover, these people wanted to do something from the river. If they hadn't seen the opportunity early, Lord Ye would have been the first to escape on the river like a chicken, instead of being able to be as leisurely as they are now.

In fact, it is very simple to guess that the honest man in front of him must have a great relationship with Han Tuozhou. Otherwise, how could the opportunity be so good? And being able to gather so many people to deal with him in the Zhenjiang Prefecture area is obviously not the way for bandits. There are two ways for bandits to be prepared by water and land. Ordinary bandits do not have this ability at all. Moreover, there are two hundred guards around Ye Qing, so bandits will not be foolish to get into trouble.

Therefore, only some generals who were in the same party as Han Tuozhou, some people who were not convinced by Ye Qing, or those who were incompetent in the fight against Han Tuozhou would think of taking advantage of Ye Qing's opportunity to enter the Zhenjiang Prefecture territory and give him Ye Qing a warning.

When he returned to the Song realm, although the method of using swords and guns was inferior, Han Tuozhou would never mind if it could achieve good results. Moreover, if Ye Qing dared to take the opportunity to kill Zhao Fang, then he would have more reason to attack Ye Qing's unjust intention in the court.

For Han Tuozhou, it was just a loss of a commander, but for Ye Qing, the loss was more than that. After all, the charge of killing his colleagues was almost the same as conspiracy to rebel at this subtle moment.

Zhao Fang, who had torn socks in his mouth, was now full of glare, his face was red, his ears were red, his neck and his forehead were even more blue.

I felt that the heart-wrenching pain instantly spread from my hands to my bones. Whether it was because my hands were tied behind me, as the pain from my little fingers at the beginning came, Zhao Fang felt that his whole hand seemed to be in a heart-wrenching pain, as if the hand behind me was no longer my own, only the heart-wrenching pain and bone-eating pain belonged to me.

It was like someone holding a long needle, running through his fingers, along the bones, all the hearts. The unbearable pain covered all the nerves of the body, making Zhao Fang tremble involuntarily because of the pain.

"Don't you say it?" Ye Qing asked calmly amid Zhao Fang's whimpering cry.

Zhao Fang wanted to go forward and bite Ye Qing, but he was pressed so hard that he could not move at all.

Ye Qing didn't signal Zhong Can to take off the rag from Zhao Fang's mouth, looked up at the hot sunshine that was slanting west, squinted his eyes, and said lightly with a hint of enjoyment: "Anyway, there's time, let's pull out the nails of your little toes."

Zhao Fang's pupils contracted sharply in anger in anger in anger, and behind the anger was the fear that was about to be exposed.

He was not afraid of death or beheading his head, but he was really afraid of such inhuman torture. The physical pain and torture were far more than being executed, which made him feel scared.

"You won't know that before I became the pacifier of Huainan East Road, I was sent by the court to Dali Temple to be Zuo Shaoqing? Of course, if you think Dali Temple is almost there, then you should know about the Imperial City Department?" Ye Qing smiled and looked at Zhao Fang's face that began to become distorted. He easily took the fishing rod made by Jia She just looked at the thin branches, held the sharp but rough fish hook, ignored the earthworm handed over by Jia She, and stood up from the stone and walked to the river at the foot of the mountain. He said aloud without looking back: "If you don't talk about who he is, just cut off a small piece of his tongue. Don't be too big, the fish can't eat it."

"Okay, I know." Zhong Can looked at Jia She with a smile.

"Can the dagger come in handy so quickly? Just try it or not. Let's see if that guy is lying to me." Jia She took out the pottery from his arms and walked to Zhao Fang with him with Zhong Can.
