Chapter 822: Dinner

Ye Luyue knew that she had no way to stop Ye Qing, and she was sure that there must be something hidden from Ye Qing and her aunt.

So when Yelu Yue proposed that if he decided to go to the frontier, let Yelu Yixue go with Ye Qing, but Ye Qing refused, and instead ordered Yelu Wang Xiang and Qu Zhulu to be the generals.

Hearing Yelu Wangxiang's name, Yelu Yue involuntarily glanced at Ye Qing again, this man's heart is really small, and he really can't tolerate half of others' love for him.

"Yelu Wangxiang has no problem, but ......." Yeluyue groaned, and said with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "I'm afraid it's a little difficult to Qu Zhulu, I can try ......." ”

"I know that he is very close to the prince, and he is also the person who the prince relies on the staff the most now. But you should know that I warned you at the beginning, and now that you have seen the results, if you don't kick Qu Julu away from the prince's side as soon as possible, I am afraid that the consequences will be difficult for you to bear, and this person must not be trusted. Ye Qing said to Ye Luyue seriously.

"I know, but that's what my aunt meant, and I do my best. I tried my best to persuade my aunt and the prince to let Qu Qulu go with you. Yeluyue said with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

At the beginning, Ye Qing had already told her the consequences of Qu Qu Lu's inability to stay, but in Yeluyue's opinion, Qu Qu Lulu and his tribe were very desperate in the battle on the grassland, and the casualties were also very heavy, so after Qu Qu Lu was pitted on the battlefield once, Yelu Yue began to feel a little unbearable, and even felt that Ye Qing's words were a bit exaggerated.

And now, Qu Zhulu and his tribe, in Yeluyue's opinion, should no longer be able to pose a threat to them at all, if they are ruthlessly removed, it will not only make the prince and aunt unhappy, but also affect the submission of other tribes to Da Liao if there is a crusade to the east one day in the future.

It is precisely for the above reasons that even if Qu Qu Julu has been accompanying the prince to mess around, playing with women and hunting, and only knows pleasure when she has nothing to do every day, she still thinks that everything is under control, and it is not as serious as Ye Qing said, and she is reluctant to hand over Qu Qu Julu to Ye Qing to take to the frontier.

After all, if she handed over Ye Qing to the frontier, what would be the consequences, she knew too well, as for being willing to hand over Yelu Wangxiang, it was because Yelu Yuanyi's father and son did not play their due role for the Daliao royal family, and faintly, now there are signs of being pulled together by Xiao Li, so handing over Yelu Wangxiang to Ye Qing to take to the frontier, and then evaporating from the world, is completely unaffected for Yelu Yue.

Looking at Ye Luyue's good-looking and cunning eyes, the two of them have been for so long, how could Ye Qing not know what idea this girl had in her heart, she shook her head helplessly and sighed, and just wanted to persuade Ye Luyue again, she heard noisy footsteps outside the tent.

Yelu Yixue instantly grasped the hilt of the knife on his waist with one hand, turned around and walked out quickly, and then saw Li Fengying coming over quickly, followed by an official from the Southern Courtyard, with a gloomy expression, as if Li Fengying owed him money and did not pay it back.

"Your Highness is here?" After Li Fengying saw Yelu Yixue, he asked with a sigh of relief.

Yelu Yixue nodded, his eyes were always staring at the officials of the South Courtyard behind him, and after Li Fengying entered the tent, Yelu Yixue stretched out his arm to stop the officials of the South Courtyard, and said coldly: "You can't go in without the order of Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

"Okay, I won't go in, but please ask Her Royal Highness the princess to let Song Ye Qing come out to speak, and say that the king of the Southern Courtyard will ask him for questions." The official's tone was also very cold, even with a suppressed anger.

Yelu Yixue listened to this tone, looked sideways slightly, smiled and said: "When the king of the Southern Courtyard handed over the invitation, he was still General Song Tingye, but now he has changed to Song Ye Qing, you are really quick to turn your face." ”

"Hmph, his men killed 17 of our Daliao warriors, do you still want to protect him?" The official of the Southern Courtyard snorted coldly.

At this time, Li Fengying in the tent also hugged Yelu Yue for the same thing as the officials outside the tent.

"This is someone secretly and deliberately provoking." Ye Luyue looked at Ye Qing with a relaxed expression and said.

Li Fengying was anxious and sweaty, and said: "But now that the Southern Courtyard is angry, I have to hand over Lord Ye and a few others, hoping to give them an explanation, and let them withdraw their people immediately." ”

"So breathless? Just one day after I arrived, I started to drive people out, which doesn't look like a scheming way of doing things. Yeluyue smiled disdainfully.

From the first time today that Liao soldiers participated in the conflict, she and Ye Qing knew that there must be someone secretly provoking it, in order to drive away Ye Qing and others, but what they didn't expect was that such a small matter was worthy of a dignified king of the Southern Courtyard to come forward to ask in person.

Ye Qing stroked his chin with a bit of a scruffy beard, shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it's not so simple, Xiao Li's thorn is not a person who is easy to get angry, there must be other reasons for this, or it is to take the opportunity to divide and disintegrate our envoys of the four countries, so that the four of us can not advance and retreat together in the Liao State, so that he can break through each and persuade each to retreat." After all, if the envoys of our four countries are of one mind, if Xiao Lili wants to drive people out, he has to look at the four territories lying in the east. ”

"What's possible?" Yeluyue listened to what Ye Qing said, so she asked.

"That's what you said, take the opportunity to put pressure on Beifu and your aunt to drive us out of Liao. Because once you favor us, the thorn in the Xiao will inevitably be shouted all over the world, the Emperor of the Great Liao and Her Royal Highness the Princess ate inside and out, and the soldiers of the Song Dynasty killed the soldiers of the Liao State in the royal city, but the Emperor of the Great Liao and Her Royal Highness the Princess were indifferent, and even shielded them. In this way, those tribes who are watching from a distance may have people who have been drawn over by him. Ye Qing said with a smile.

Yeluyue frowned, I have to say that Ye Qing's analysis has a certain truth, and no matter which result it is, it is not what Yeluyue wants to see, so at the moment, the best way is to let the envoys of the four countries lead their people to go to the frontier for the Liao State to deal with the Khorezm people, so that the envoys of the four countries can withdraw from the royal city, and the tribes who are watching can also see that the royal family of the Great Liao is not only winning the hearts of the people of the Liao Kingdom, but also the envoys of the four countries are willing to defend their Great Liao against the Khwarazmian people. In this way, it is natural that some of the tribes who are watching are willing to support their Daliao royal family.

"I'll go find my aunt, and you go to the banquet." Ye Luyue said resolutely and decisively.

After Ye Qing walked out of the tent, Ye Luyue didn't know whether she wanted to warn the king of the Southern Courtyard Xiao Li, or to protect Ye Qing, she looked at the officials of the Southern Courtyard coldly and said, "This is the important place of the Northern Mansion, you shouted loudly in front of the princess's tent, do you put the princess in your eyes?" ”

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the official to refute, Ye Luyue said coldly again: "Pull down and beat hard, the officials who are not well managed by the Southern Courtyard, I will help them discipline them in the Northern Mansion." ”

It was the first time Ye Qing saw Yeluyue angry, and the first time he saw Yeluyue's majesty as the princess of the Great Liao Kingdom, and Yeluyi Xue on the side seemed to be waiting for Yeluyue's words, and without waiting for Yeluyue's words to land, he grabbed the official's shoulder with one hand and dragged him outside.

So when Ye Qing and Ye Luyue walked outside the North Mansion, the miserable screams of pain from the official just now came from behind them.

Yeluyue was accompanied by Li Fengying and others to the king's tent, while Ye Qing was on the way to the Southern Courtyard with Mo Xiaobao, and saw Temujin and the begging Shilie Divine Slaves, both holding the invitation card of the Southern Courtyard, and also following an official of the Southern Courtyard.

"No one is looking for you?" Temujin pointed to the official of the Southern Courtyard behind him and asked Ye Qing.

"Yes, but at the moment I am in Beifu, and I am being punished by the princess of the Great Liao Kingdom." Ye Qing took out the same invitation card as the two of them and said.

"Punishment, why?" The gods and slaves of Qishilie were stunned, could it be that the contradiction between the North Mansion and the South Courtyard had reached such an irreconcilable point.

"Because the officials of the Southern Courtyard who picked me up shouted in front of the princess's tent, they were dragged down, so I had to find the way to the Southern Courtyard by myself." Ye Qing said with a smile.

Seeing that Ye Qing didn't take this matter seriously, he then glanced back at Borshu behind him, and then looked at Mo Xiaobao behind Ye Qing, before he said to Ye Qing: "Today outside the royal city, our people have had a total of nine clashes with the soldiers of Liao and Xia, and now they have caused forty-three deaths and more than five hundred injuries. ”

"It's amazing, when I was in Beifu, I still died seventeen and more than a hundred people were injured, but now there are so many more, are your people okay?" Ye Qing smiled and asked as if he didn't care about these conflicts at all.

The beggar gods and slaves shook their heads, indicating that there had been no deaths yet.

"Lord Ye, I'm afraid that someone secretly instigated this matter, and it was done on purpose." The gods and slaves of Qishilie said with some concern, after all, the Four Kingdoms were originally an alliance army, but now it is obvious that with Su Dao and the Liao people standing on the same position, their so-called Four Nations Alliance Army has been disintegrated from the inside.

"Since Xiping Mansion, I haven't counted on him anymore. And the reason why the Xia people are still willing to come with us is nothing more than because the three of us are still of the same mind, of course, we also came for the sake of interests, as for whether we want to fight with the Khorezm people...... Ye Qing and the others said as they walked towards the south courtyard.

"If it were me, I would leave him behind, and the three of us would weigh the strength of the Khorezmians, how about it?" Temujin said in a deep voice.

The begging stone lie gods and slaves set their eyes on Ye Qing, when they were undecided, when they needed to make a choice, just listen to Ye Qing's choice and follow along, this is the will given by Wan Yan Jing when the begging stone lie gods and slaves set out on the expedition.

"Yes, that's exactly what I want. I'd love to see if the Khwarazmians were so powerful, and we had come all this way to fight them. If you don't fight a battle, you will be driven back, no matter how you say it, it will look a little disgraced. Ye Qing looked at Temujin with a smile and said.

Temujin's eyes were also full of smiles and expectations, he really wanted to see if there was anyone stronger than them, better at fighting on horseback than them, and he also wanted to see with his own eyes on the battlefield whether Ye Qing's flower planting army was really qualified to fight him in the future.

"Then it's decided, and then at the banquet of the Southern Courtyard, the king of the Southern Courtyard will inevitably talk about today's conflict, so it's up to you." Temujin said with a smile and spread his arms.

They are all smart people, and there were so many conflicts and so many casualties in less than a day, it must be because Xiao Lizhu didn't want to see them stationed outside the royal city, so he secretly provoked them, hoping to drive them away.

"What about you?" Ye Qing and Temujin opened their mouths almost at the same time and asked the begging stone lie gods and slaves.

In front of the brightly lit tents in the southern courtyard, the beggar Shilie gods and slaves looked at the smiles on the faces of Temujin and Ye Qing, and then nodded firmly: "The last general is fortunate to join forces with Lord Ye and the Great Khan to kill the enemy, and I can't ask for it." ”

"Well, that's it. Seeing that you are so refreshing, I will also look for a good Haidongqing for you in the future. Temujin smiled and hugged the gods and slaves of the begging stones.

"The king invited three adults into the main tent for a dinner." An official dressed in the official Liao State Mansion walked up to Ye Qing and the three of them and saluted with an arrogant expression.

It is said that it is the South Courtyard, the North Mansion, and the King's Tent, but in fact, it is more like an independent area of self-contained houses and tents, and in the South Courtyard, its guards are much stricter than those in the North Mansion, I don't know if it is the Xiao Hu Li Thorn who wants to give Ye Qing and the three of them to show the strength of his King of the Southern Courtyard, in short, where Ye Qing and the three of them passed, they could always see the Liao cavalry full of armor, holding bright swords and guns slowly passing by.

The so-called main tent is nothing more than an open space surrounded by tents to block the wind, and although the bonfire in the middle has not yet been lit at this time, the torches around it have illuminated the surroundings as bright as day.

As Ye Qing and the others expected, at this time, in the so-called main tent, Su Dao had already arrived one step ahead of them, and at this time, he was stabbing his arm with Xiao Yanhuan, and there were also many officials from the Southern Courtyard faction sitting around, and they all looked at Ye Qing and the three of them.

As the three of them walked in under the leadership of the ceremonial officer, Xiao Lili spurted a hearty smile and said a welcome speech to the three of them, as for the hostility towards Ye Qing and the others in the palace of the king's tent today, it has long disappeared at this moment.

The other officials looked at Xiao Li's enthusiastic and hearty expression, and they also involuntarily showed a stiff smile, under Xiao Li's introduction, the officials who were lucky enough to be able to report their names saluted Ye Qing and the three of them, and some officials who didn't even bother to introduce Xiao Lili could only follow silently behind and echo it.

In this way, it can be seen that for tonight's dinner, Xiao Li's assassination plan has not been less effortful, I am afraid that the Liao officials gathered here today can be regarded as him, if he is a meritorious minister who will be called the emperor in the future.

Comparatively speaking, Su Dao, who should have been an alliance and should have been closer, looked a little unkind to Ye Qing or Temujin at this time, or to the begging Shilie gods and slaves, after all, among the nine conflicts that occurred today, it was his people who suffered the most casualties, so at this time, facing the leaders of the Jin, Song, and Tatars, it was strange that he could have a good face.

With a lit torch, they were respectively held in the hands of the five people of Xiao Li, Ye Qing, Temujin, Qishilie Zhushen Nu, and Su Dao, and then after Xiao Lizhu took the lead in throwing the torch into the bonfire, the torches in the hands of Ye Qing and other dead people also drew a wonderful arc in the air and were thrown onto the bonfire.

The somewhat ceremonial way of lighting the bonfire is obviously much more elaborate and grand than the way the Xia people lit the bonfire in Xiping Mansion.

Xiao Lili sat in the center, Ye Qing and Qi Shilie gods and slaves sat on the left, Temujin and Su Dao sat on the right, and after the five people sat down, the other officials began to sit down in a semicircle against the campfire in the distance, and then the Liao-style woman and music slowly appeared in the night sky, and the delicious aroma of meat and wine also began to flow in the air.
