In the morning, Li Yanqing, under the strict escort of 80 personal soldiers and 20 female soldiers, entered Lin'an City in two carriages, one of which was empty, and Li Yanqing sat in the other carriage, and if there were attackers on the way, they would have to divide their forces to deal with the two carriages, which would virtually weaken the strength of the attackers.

Today, Li Yanqing is going to meet the Son of Heaven Zhao Gou, and personally present the report he wrote on the various routes of the West Road, of course, this kind of report has been sent to the capital in advance, but it is a matter of attitude that he personally presents to the Son of Heaven, no matter how dangerous the situation is, he must come to see the Son of Heaven.

The road was safe, Li Yanqing soon came to the palace, and the guards were waiting outside the palace, and Hu Qing'er led seven female guards to accompany him into the palace.

This is the main reason why Li Yanqing brought female guards to the capital, the palace did not allow him to bring his own guards into the palace, but Zhao Gou also understood his difficulties, so he promised that women could enter the palace, which bypassed the iron law that the palace did not allow foreign soldiers to enter the palace.

Each female soldier is wearing palace clothes outside, looking graceful, but they are secretly killing, wearing close-fitting soft armor inside, the two hairpins on their heads are two sharp flying thorns, the gold bead bracelet on the wrist is made of stainless steel, and the soft armor also hides three flying knives close to the body, Hu Qing'er's belt is her whip blade, these seven female soldiers are Hu Qing'er's high apprentices, and they are all extremely powerful secret weapon masters.

Li Yanqing can't help but be guarded, these palace guards are Liu Zhengyan's subordinates, in case Liu Zhengyan attacks himself in the palace, he will really die, especially now that the palace guards are holding real guys, not wooden honor guards, he must be more cautious.

A group of beautiful palace maids surrounded Li Yanqing and walked towards the palace, attracting the attention of countless people, and the soldiers were not easy to search them, as long as they did not have weapons in their hands, or there were no obvious hidden weapons, they let them in.

Hu Qing'er took seven female soldiers to surround Li Yanqing and came to the vertical arch apse, which was the location of the imperial study, and the security was even tighter, and the eight female guards were not allowed to go inside.

Li Yanqing nodded to Hu Qing'er, took off the sword at his waist and handed it to Hu Qing'er, he had the right to bring the sword to the palace, but the sword here did not refer to a real sword, but a bladeless ritual sword, Li Yanqing took a ritual sword from a guard, wore it on his body, and followed the guard to the imperial study.

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin has arrived!"

As the guards shouted, soon there was a hearty laugh from Zhao Gou, the Son of Heaven, "Yanqing, I finally look forward to you!" Zhao Gou personally went out of the imperial study to greet him.

Li Yanqing hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down on one knee and clenched his fists, "Weichen see Your Majesty!" “

Zhao Gou hurriedly helped Li Yanqing up, and said with a smile: "You are my brother-in-law, brother-in-law and brother-in-law don't have to make this big gift!" “

"Your Majesty, the courtesy of the monarch and the minister cannot be abolished."

"I know, but you can ...... Keep it simple. ”

In recent years, Li Yanqing saved the crisis of the three roads in the northwest, seized the east of the Hedong Road, destroyed the Western Xia Kingdom in the north, forced the Jin State to seek peace, and turned the Great Song Dynasty into peace.

These are all the credits of Li Yanqing, and of course they are also Zhao Go's great achievements, and at this point, the interests of the two are completely identical.

Although Li Yanqing's power is too great to make Zhao Gou a little jealous, Zhao Gou knows in his heart that now is not the time to talk about this matter, he must find a suitable opportunity, or find a plan acceptable to both parties, such as Li Yanqing's son coming to the capital to study.

When Zhao Gou heard that Li Yanqing had really brought his son, he suddenly felt a lot more comfortable in his heart.

The two walked into the imperial study and sat down, and Zhao Gou smiled and asked, "I read your report, and you mentioned in the report that you should properly support the enemies of the Jin Kingdom, I don't know what this means?" ”

Li Yanqing smiled slightly, "Weichen refers to supporting the grassland tribes and the Jin State to fight, now the main force of the Jin State is attacking the Mobei grassland, trying to conquer the grassland, the grassland tribes were originally dependent on the Liao State, the Liao State has been squeezing them deeply, and strictly restricting the force, so that they can't buy armor at all, after the destruction of the Western Xia, several grassland tribe chiefs found Weichen, wanted to exchange cattle and sheep for armor, and Weichen exchanged 100,000 sets of Western Xia armor for five million cattle and sheep, at present, these cattle and sheep are used to reward the three armies, and there are still some left, The lowly office planned to be transported to the capital to give it to the imperial court. “

Zhao Gou was not interested in cattle and sheep, he was more interested in supporting the grassland tribes themselves, firstly, to contain the Jin State, and secondly, whether the grassland tribes could turn to rely on the Great Song Dynasty, which was the focus of an emperor.

"Is it effective to resell weapons to the Prairie Tribes?"

Li Yanqing nodded, "It should be said that the effect is remarkable, last month the two sides fought a series of big battles in the southern grasslands, the Jin soldiers were annihilated tens of thousands of people, and had to retreat to the east, although the grassland tribes also suffered heavy losses, but the fate of being slaughtered was much better than before, at least they united to resist the conquest of the Jin soldiers, Weichen hopes that the Jin soldiers can be trapped in the grassland for several years and wear out its elite." ”

Zhao Gou nodded, "This matter is very important, so please continue to pay attention to it!" ”

"Wechen obeys!"

Zhao Gou smiled again: "In addition to the content of the report, what other good news does the envoy have to share with me?" “

Li Yanqing groaned and said: "Weichen came from the Yangtze River waterway, and found that the bandits in Dongting Lake were serious, and I hope that Your Majesty can send troops to exterminate them as soon as possible, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment." ”

"I actually already know about this matter, I sent Dingzhou pacification envoy Cheng Changyu to lead the army to suppress the bandits, but it was unsuccessful, I consider sending Li Gang as the Yuezhou pacification envoy again, and lead the army to suppress the bandits, I don't know if there is any capable general to recommend?"

Li Yanqing smiled slightly: "Li Gang is very competent as a pacification envoy, but I am afraid that it will be a little powerless to lead the army to suppress the bandits, Weichen recommends Yue Fei, the commander of Jingxiang, to lead the army to suppress the bandits, I believe that he and Li Gang cooperate, and they will definitely win the victory of the bandits." ”

Zhao Gou nodded, "This matter is feasible, but let me think about the specific plan a little, if it is feasible, I can issue an order in the afternoon." ”

Li Yanqing immediately reported to Zhao Gou the recent situation of Lingxia Road and Hexi Road, and proposed the idea of relocating Han people to Lingxia Road.

The two talked for about an hour and a half, a full three hours, and then Li Yanqing said goodbye and left the palace to return to Chi'ankou Town.

The personal soldiers escorted Li Yanqing's carriage along the royal street slowly, for today's meeting, basically in Li Yanqing's expectations, the son of heaven Zhao Gou did not mention the issue of cutting power and proton at all, maybe it is not that Zhao Gou does not want to, but today is not the time, Zhao Gou will not make this request to himself in person, and it is likely to find a middleman.

The procession gradually came to the Yongjin Gate, where people came and went, and it was particularly lively, and several soldiers stood guard at the city gate.

Li Yanqing's team came, and the pedestrians dodged a way one after another, letting the murderous team go first, but the team did not reveal the identity of the owner of the horse, otherwise the street would be crowded with people.

The first carriage entered the city gate hole, and at this moment, a black shadow suddenly fell from the sky, and a spear in his hand pierced into the carriage, and seven or eight black shadows were killed on both sides, and they raised their crossbows together and shot into the carriage, and the blue arrows instantly penetrated the carriage, and even shot eight poisonous arrows in a row, and the people inside had no way to dodge.

It's just a pity that they are unlucky, Li Yanqing sat in the first carriage when he came, but when he went back, he took the second carriage, the first carriage was empty, the other party was obviously gambling, but unfortunately the gamble was lost.

There was a sudden chaos around him, Hu Qing'er was furious, and shot out with a flying knife, and the black-clothed assassin on the roof of the car couldn't dodge, and was shot in the left chest by the extremely fast flying knife, and fell off the carriage with a scream.

The rest of the soldiers had already reacted, they were extremely angry, and together they swung their knives to kill the eight assassins, and the remaining dozen or so female soldiers raised shields to protect the front and rear of the carriage, and raised mini short crossbows in their hands, which could shoot through the human body within ten steps when operated with one hand.

The people around were also in chaos, stumbling and fleeing.

The assassins obviously only wanted to hit with one blow, and did not want to fight, so they scattered and fled, but they were no faster than Hu Qing'er's flying knives, Hu Qing'er hated in his heart, and he was ruthless, three flying knives shot out, three assassins fell to the ground one after another, and three were surrounded by Li Yanqing's own soldiers, and the bodies were disorganized, and only two assassins escaped from the house.

It was only at this time that a large group of soldiers came from all directions, and Hu Qing'er was almost mad, pointing at the soldiers and scolding them for being useless.

At this time, a female soldier rushed over and said, "General Hu, Du Tong asked you to see if the assassin is alive?" ”

Hu Qing'er then woke up, she remembered that the assassin on the roof of the car might not be dead, and hurriedly looked around, and the soldiers suddenly shouted, "There is a living mouth here!" ”
