Faced with Han Daochong's words that he didn't know whether to ridicule himself or comfort himself, Ye Qing could only ask Cangtian speechlessly.

But I also have to say that what Han Daochong said is true, which onion and garlic he is, how could he let Song Ting put pressure on the Xia people for his own safety, and then let the garrison army of Dasanguan put pressure on the Xia people.

What's more, among the Song, Liao, Jinxia, and Xia countries, only the Song court was the least looked down upon and was regarded as a weak Song dynasty. Otherwise, it would not have been more than a month since he, the envoy of the Southern Song Dynasty, came to Xingqing Mansion, but the emperor of Western Xia did not even summon him once, but only sent such a civil official as Han Daochong to deal with him.

When you go out, if you want people to look up to you and not despise you, first of all, you must have a strong country behind you to support you, and secondly, the importance of your own ability and identity.

It's a pity that Ye Qing doesn't occupy any of them now, and behind him is a weak Song who specializes in pit his own courtiers, which is destined to be in the current situation of Xia Kingdom, when he is used as a pawn, he will not be taken seriously by others.

Compared with the Jin people's Wanyan Jing, the Liao country's Yelu Yue, even the Tibetan monk Gexi Suobu, and the barbarian tribe's Qu Zhulai, Ye Qing is not as important as others in the eyes of the Xia people.

And this is why, whether in the Jin Kingdom or the Xia Kingdom, he can only willingly accept the fate of being used.

Of course, for Ye Qing, these are not because he doesn't want to resist, but behind him, he is a weak Song who will only make others suffer wherever he goes, so with Ye Qing's strength now, it is not easy to protect himself under the use of others to protect himself.

Looking at the back of Han Daochong gradually leaving, the sunset outside Xingqing Mansion continued to stain the whole world with a layer of mysterious gold, and the drum sound on the drum tower slowly resounded over Xingqing Mansion.

The bells at the four corners of the stupa of Chengtian Temple made a slight jingle in the wind, but it was also a little more solemn and solemn because of the Xia Guo soldiers who slowly came out of the temple.

As Han Daochong said, after Brother Cha and Ren Dejing accompanied Yan Jing to the palace, the streets and alleys of the entire Xingqing Mansion began to be filled with a strange and dignified atmosphere.

The sunset is about to slowly sink into the horizon, and the residual afterglow makes the distant western horizon look as if it is being illuminated by a raging fire, and the gates of Xingqing City began to emerge with heavily armed soldiers that are rarely seen on weekdays.

As the last remnants of the sunset were buried below the horizon, the gates of Xingqing City, which were not very many, were slowly squeaked and then tightly closed.

The people in the city, merchants, monks and other pedestrians, in the twilight, like walking corpses, mechanically walked on the way home or inn, and the vendors on both sides were no longer as usual, until late at night.

The pedestrians on the inns, taverns, casinos, and bazaars are also becoming more and more sparse, and even some inns, taverns, etc., the guys at the door have stopped receiving guests, with an apologetic smile on their faces, asking the guests who come to stay to try it elsewhere.

The entire Xingqing City, almost like in a short moment, suddenly became full of solemnity and solemn tense atmosphere, looking at the soldiers at the gate of the city who were fully armed and unsheathed, as if they had entered a wartime.

Ye Qing sat on the second floor of the Zhongwei tea shop,

Looking through the window at the increasingly sparse crowd on the street, it was replaced by a patrol of Xia Guo's iron cavalry, and the surrounding shops quickly covered the heavy door panels one by one, leaving only the narrow side, observing the situation on the street.

The shopkeeper of the tea shop took three steps and quickly ran to Ye Qing, looked at Ye Qing, who had just lit the flame of the oil lamp, and said in a low and solemn voice: "The shopkeeper is here." ”

Hearing the words of the shopkeeper of the tea shop, Ye Qing immediately got up and looked downstairs from the window, only to see that after the Xia Ren iron cavalry that had patrolled just now was replaced by another team of iron cavalry, this group of cavalry was not like the cavalry coming and going, wandering on the street, but staying at the door of the Zhongwei tea shop.

"General Xia Guo?" Ye Qing turned around and asked in surprise.

The shopkeeper of the tea shop nodded, and then explained to Ye Qing: "The person who dealt with us before was a woman, since we first dealt with them until now, there has not been a single mistake, Xia Guan has always thought that this woman is the shopkeeper, but I don't think that there is a big man behind them." ”

Ye Qing held the tea table in front of him with one hand, looked at the downstairs outside the window again, and then shook his head and thought: "This can also explain the reason why we have not made a mistake so many times, and the transaction has always been smooth." If it were an ordinary businessman, it would be impossible for him to be so hand-eyed, provide us with so many weapons and armor, and not be discovered by the Xia State Government. Now it seems that the person who is dealing with us is a rather greedy Xia State general, but I don't know why this person took the initiative to show up at this critical moment? ”

"For the sake of insurance, why don't you show up first, and the next official will ......."

"It's too late, they must know I'm here, and...... It is very likely that we know about our coming to the Xia Kingdom, but I don't know what kind of person this person is in the Xia Kingdom, whether it is the emperor's side or Ren Dejing's side. Ye Qing glanced at the second floor of the tea shop, and for a moment he was thinking with some worry in his heart.

After all, since the beginning of the establishment of a trading relationship with the Xia people, everything has been extremely smooth, even if it is the armor and weapons that the Xia people are proud of, Ye Qing can get as much as he wants, and then give it to Sang Kun on the grassland, there has never been a problem.

And it was precisely in this way that Ye Qing completely lost the idea of Xia Shang's background check after the first few transactions, and never thought about how powerful a person with a background was standing behind a woman.

"What then?" The shopkeeper of the tea shop asked, "Why don't you call for people and ambush behind?" If something is wrong....... ”

"No need." Ye Qing looked outside again, standing on the street in front of the door of the Zhongwei Tea Shop, as if he had given the Zhongwei Tea Shop a glance at the blocked Xia cavalry, and continued: "Please come up to the shopkeeper, even if he didn't expose us and others, and he didn't break in with great fanfare, no matter what, there should still be some chance to negotiate." ”

As the shopkeeper of the tea shop nodded and left the downstairs, Ye Qing personally replaced the tea on the table with new tea, and the footsteps sounded at the staircase, a middle-aged man who was not tall and somewhat stocky, with a smile on his face as if he was making money, walked up happily.

Ye Qing, who stood up, nodded slightly with the middle-aged man, and then waved his hand to signal the shopkeeper of the tea shop to go downstairs, and after no one was allowed to come up, they invited the middle-aged man to sit down opposite.

"New tea, just arrived yesterday." After pouring the tea, Ye Qing asked, "Dare to ask how to call it?" ”

"Jiao Jingyan, Deputy Privy Council of Xia State." Jiao Jingyan said frankly.

"Oh, disrespectful, disrespectful, it turned out to be Lord Jiao." Ye Qing had an easy-going smile on his face, but he had been thinking about it for a long time, and he didn't quite know how this deputy privy envoy of Western Xia, who didn't look like a greedy person, could be so greedy.

"Shaoqing is wondering, why is Jiao so greedy for money?" Jiao Jingyan asked as if he had seen through Ye Qing's mind at a glance.

Ye Qing looked up at Jiao Jingyan in surprise, and after being stunned, he nodded with a smile, and said honestly: "Not bad." ”

"I don't know how much Shaoqing knows about my prince of Xia Kingdom?" Jiao Jingyan agreed with Ye Qing's honesty, nodded and continued to ask.

"I happened to meet in the mansion of King Chu today, so I can't talk about understanding. I wonder what the deputy envoy means by this? In Ye Qing's mind, the prince of Xia Kingdom, who looked a little indecisive, once again appeared with a beard on his face.

Jiao Jingyan nodded with a smile, but did not answer Ye Qing's words, but continued to ask: "Shaoqing sent someone to contact me today, I don't know if there is goods to be sold, or is there something else?" ”

"Who is Wild Lilan?" Ye Qing also asked without answering.

"Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess is also the granddaughter who created my Great Xia Guowen Yeli Renrong." Jiao Jingyan said with a smile.

"So it seems that Lord Jiao is working for the crown prince?" Ye Qing asked lightly.

“…… Not bad. Jiao Jingyan paused slightly, and then continued: "Maybe Shaoqing still doesn't know, the biological mother of the prince of my Great Xia Kingdom is a Song person, and the biological mothers of several brothers of His Royal Highness the Prince are all from my Great Xia, Li Chunyi, the king of Yue, and Li Chunli, the king of Shu, are also strong contenders for the position of the prince, so His Royal Highness the prince has to order me to do some business secretly for the position of the prince." ”

"Deliberately found us?" Ye Qing's brows gradually furrowed, and he didn't ask why it was always the crown princess he said that traded with him in front of others, instead of him Jiao Jingyan trading with himself and others.

Jiao Jingyan looked at Ye Qing's tightly furrowed brows and the vigilance between his expressions, but he shook his head and smiled bitterly silently.

I have to say that there really is such a thing as a book without coincidence in this world, what Ye Qing didn't expect was that all this was like a copy between him and Li Fengniang, but the difference was that the crown princess of Xia Kingdom actually met with the Imperial City Division by accident, and then established a trading relationship like an ordinary trader.

The princess of Xia Kingdom was holding a playful mentality, accompanied by Jiao Jingyan, who completed the first secret transaction in a daze, and the Imperial City Division was also in a hurry to sell the first batch of goods, and happened to meet the first princess of Xia Kingdom, so the two parties also hit it off for the first time, and they have cooperated for so long, and there has never been a mistake.

As for why it was always the crown princess who came forward, not Jiao Jingyan who came forward to contact the Imperial City Division, it was not only because of the vigilance of the Imperial City Division that Jiao Jingyan and the crown princess did not dare to easily switch positions, but also because the crown princess couldn't stop after finding a sense of accomplishment through the first transaction.

In short, the Imperial City Division and Xia Shang have carried out many transactions, and the reason why they can continue all the time is that in addition to the fact that both parties are relatively honest, that is, both parties have their own ghosts, and neither of them dares or is unwilling to easily investigate each other, so as not to finally expose themselves and give the other party a handle.

(ps: I apologize to everyone, in addition to the fact that there are many things in the past few days, it is easy to be swayed by some comments, so what I wrote during this time is particularly uncomfortable.) I tried to correct it, trying to get back to the way I was when I first wrote the book. I'm sorry for the big guys who have been supporting, and I hope to be able to return to my own style later. ）(https:)
