Wait a minute, heroine

"Uh huh huh~..."

In the side alley of Fan's shop, Master Xuanji walked out of the back door slowly, holding a small package in her hand, and put on a gauze curtain hat.

When I came to the alley and looked around, I saw that there were still many young ladies walking back and forth on the street, but the young man who was supposed to be waiting at the door of Wang's shop was nowhere to be seen.

Master Xuanji snorted, and before he had time to wonder, a slight movement came from behind:

"here."

Master Xuanji looked back and saw Ye Jingtang, who was holding a sword in his arms, leaning against a willow tree at the back of the alley, hooking his hand at her.

?

Master Xuanji put the small package on his shoulder, walked up to him with a casual demeanor, and looked up and down at Ye Jingtang:

"Did you just peek at the lady inside changing her clothes?"

Ye Jingtang shook his head and said: "How is that possible? I was afraid that you would not find anyone when you came out, so I just waited here. I am satisfied with the selection. Let me see what style I bought?"

Master Xuanji hooked the small package with her fingers, trying to show it to Ye Jingtang, but when Ye Jingtang reached out, he took it back:

"You have a beautiful idea. Let's go, Qinghe should wait...it's urgent..."

When Master Xuanji said this, he looked around the Night Terror Hall:

"Where's the medicine you bought?"

Ye Jingtang looked a little embarrassed. He just taught the girl from Beiliang a lesson, and then left. During this period, it was obviously not easy to ask Mrs. Wang to fill the potion. He wanted to go back to get it later, but Miss Na Hua stayed behind. There was no way out of the medical center. If he ran back again, he would be stopped and questioned for who knows how long. For this reason, he could only wait here empty-handed.

Seeing the water coming out, Ye Jingtang said:

"There are women visiting the doctor inside. It's not appropriate for me to occupy the side. Mrs. Wang should have packed the things she needs. If you don't want to help take them down, I'll hold them for you."

Master Xuanji moved the small package away without letting Ye Jingtang help him, which was a little funny:

"When you're teasing the people around you, you're as thick-skinned as a city wall, but when you're outside, you're more reserved. Do you just eat grass from the sidelines?"

Ye Jingtang looked helpless and spread his hands slightly, indicating that he recognized everything.

Master Xuanji did not waste any time, threw the small package to the Night Terror Hall, turned around and walked towards the pedestrian street:

"If you dare to open it and take a look, I'll give you some good fruit to eat when I come back."

"Know it."

Ye Jingtang caught the weightless small package. After Xuanji turned out of the alley, he did have the urge to open it and take a peek, but he still suppressed it and just squeezed it with his hands to listen to the wind palm to feel it carefully:

Hmm... Still bow-tie panties... tulle and semi-transparent...

Ye Jingtang blinked and felt that Fairy Lu was really good at testing people.

After waiting for a while at the entrance of the alley, Xuanji, the real person, walked out of the door holding a dozen boxes, with two strings hanging on his hands. It was like Xiao Yunli carrying pots and pans home for the first time. She couldn't even see it from the front. to people.

?

Ye Jingtang raised his hand, feeling a little unfair to Shuishui. After Master Xuanji walked into the alley, he stepped forward and brought a lot of things over:

"so much?"

Master Xuanji didn't expect Fan Qinghe to buy such a big pile. After throwing all the things to Ye Jingtang, she patted her snow-white skirt and said:

"Who knows what she is going to do. By the way, I was just behind and saw a scholarly young lady. She is pretty and has a very good temperament. Why don't you go and take a look?"

"Oh, that girl is a poor person. She became disabled at a young age. It is inappropriate to make such a joke."

Seeing this, Master Xuanji didn't say much. She took out the small package from Ye Jingtang's arms and walked in front. After taking two steps, she lowered her head and looked at the package:

"Have you smelled it?"

Ye Jingtang looked helpless: "I just bought a few pieces of cloth, what should I do if I smell it?"

"You haven't worn it yet, it doesn't smell good, does it?"

"?"

Night Terror Hall has nothing to say...

…

——

Foreign embassies coming from foreign countries were built in the west of the city, not too far from the Forbidden Army station. The surrounding neighborhoods were gathering places for foreigners. Some merchants from Beiliang, Xihai, and even Tiannan generally lived here.

Hundreds of students who came here were arranged to live in several alleys next to the foreign embassy. They all felt fresh when they first arrived. Although there were many things to do when they first arrived and they were not allowed to go too far, it was okay to wander around. Pedestrians could be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys. Every store is also full.

In the afternoon, in a study room at the back of the embassy, ​​Li Si, who had just sent off to receive the officials, had not yet finished his cup of tea, and began to prepare for tonight's dinner at Furong Pond.

Qianjimen Shen Lin, disguised as an accompanying servant, was also sitting in the study at this time, analyzing:

"This morning, traces of the Hei Yamen's agents were indeed found on the pier of Xicheng Port, but it is difficult to determine whether the Night Terror Hall is in the dark. If Jia Shengzi's intelligence information is completely accurate, in half an hour, the Night Terror Hall will come from The Rites Yamen set off by car to Furong Pond, walking along Xizheng Street..."

Li Si flipped through the various things to be discussed tonight and interjected:

"I'm new here. I don't know the depth yet. It's too risky to take action. It's better to let the accompanying experts disperse into the city for a few days to find out. Where is Hua Ling?"

"Hua Ling has a dissolute personality and left early last night, but it's easy to find people. As expected, she will be drinking with the leader at Jinping Tower."

Li Si frowned: "Send him a message and ask him to restrain himself and come to the embassy to be on call at any time. If he wanders outside, if his whereabouts are revealed in advance, the court cannot protect him in Yun'an, a land of crouching tigers, hidden dragons."

Shen Lin nodded, put down the tea cup and left the study silently.

Li Si also learned from Jia Shengzi in the early hours of the morning that the officials designated to be entertained by Ye Jingtang would meet at the wine table in the evening.

Li Si was secretly instructed by Emperor Liang to get rid of the Night Terror Hall. As soon as he arrived, he had to see the king. How could he not feel a little pressure in his heart? After thinking about his words alone in the study for a while, he got up and came to the door to find a few people accompanying him in the evening. Chatting with celebrities, when they walked out of the main hall, they saw Hua Qingzhi in the verandah, being pushed back and forth by the maid.

Hua Qingzhi is the granddaughter of Mrs. Hua. She has a very distinguished background. If it were not for her physical problems, she would be qualified to be a princess.

However, she never mentioned her background. To the outside world, she only claimed to be the daughter of the big shopkeeper of Wanbao Tower. If Mrs. Hua hadn't sent a letter to Li Si to take care of her during this trip, Li Si would not have known about this talented woman who was all over Yanjing. Such a background.

Although Mrs. Hua had retired and returned to her hometown, her court qualifications were still there. Li Si was very polite to Hua Qingzhi, whether out of appreciation for her talent or background, and upon seeing this, she restored her status as a respected elder. Gas state, came to ask:

"Qingzhi, did you just visit Dr. Wang? What was the result?"

Hua Qingzhi was a little lost in thought. When the sound rang out, she realized that someone was coming. She came up in a wheelchair and said:

"I just met Dr. Wang, and she said it's not an incurable disease, but it's just complicated to treat and may take a long time."

Li Si stroked his beard and smiled softly: "That's good. The old master repeatedly warned me before leaving. If there is no good news, let me comfort you so that you won't be upset. I also prepared a lot of excuses for this, but luckily I didn't use them. …”

If Hua Qingzhi had heard good news before, she would have been happy for a long time, but after being taught a lesson, all she felt now was the embarrassment after being arrogant and making a fool of herself, and curiosity about the handsome young man. She smiled. , and asked:

"Mr. Li, you are very knowledgeable, but have you ever heard of a poem from the northwest?"

Li Si's writing skills were not as good as those of the famous Confucian scholars who accompanied him, but he specialized in his art. As a minister in charge of diplomacy, like Chen Hezhi, he knew the situation of various ministries in the West Sea very well. He saw this:

"The northwest is like the two states of Liangsha and Liangsha in the Great Wei Dynasty. It is a bitter cold place with very few famous literati. Please tell me."

Hua Qingzhi came here to ask for advice, and immediately recounted what she had just seen: "The beacon is shining on Xijing..."

Li Si stroked his beard and listened. As soon as he heard a few sentences, his expression changed slightly. After frowning and tasting for a long time, he said thoughtfully:

"The person who wrote this poem must be a loyal man. The entire army of the Northwest Royal Court was wiped out after the First World War. This senior should not be a general, and may have been buried in the battlefield. I have never heard of his reputation."

When Hua Qingzhi heard this, she couldn't help but look regretful:

"I accidentally heard this poem on the street today, but I couldn't find out its source. I used to think I was well-read, but when I came to Yun'an, I realized that working behind closed doors is like a frog in the well. If you don't come out and take a look, you will never know that there are so many undiscovered things out there. The knowledge I have been exposed to.”

Li Si put his hands behind his hands and chuckled: "There is no limit to the sea of ​​learning, and the more knowledgeable people are, the more humble they are, because they can see how vast the world is that they have not yet touched, and understand that the wealth of knowledge in their belly is just a matter of time for the great road of heaven and earth. Just scratching the surface. You are still young, and if you can understand this, it is already a worthwhile trip."

Hua Qingzhi nodded slightly: "Qingzhi will remember your teacher's teachings."

Li Si's far-reaching words were actually taught by Beiliang Guoshi. He had not yet reached this level in terms of official position or literary and military skills. However, in front of the students, he still nodded like an elder, and then said:

"I just proposed that Da Wei hold a cultural gathering in Longyin Tower and have a 'Longyin Ten Game' to compare chess skills. No doubt the person who comes to attend the appointment will be the empress's sister. You have to prepare carefully these two days, don't Contempt, if King Zuo Xian is the most capable prince in the world, then King Jing of Wei is the most talented prince in the world. If you lose, your reputation will not be damaged. If you win, your reputation will be passed down for generations to come."

Hua Qingzhi is not arrogant, but with her background here, confidence is inevitable. She smiled and said:

"Mr. Li, just wait for the good news."

…

——

Suddenly, the ennobled Duke was assigned the task of receiving guests. Ye Jingtang was really busy these two days. After buying some sexy clothes with Master Xuanji at noon, as soon as he sent the medicine home, he started to take a shower and change into court clothes, and then went to the etiquette department to meet up. There was no time to talk about Miss Bo, and there was no time to rub the bird.

As the sun set in the west, a convoy drove out from Yun'an City, headed by eighteen horsemen wearing dark green brocade robes with swords, and the one at the front was against the banner with the word "night".

There were also eighteen elite cavalry in the rear, guarding a large chariot in the middle.

The chariot was a gift from the imperial court. According to his title, it should be driven by four horses, but in the capital it had to be downgraded one level, so it was a three-horse horse with pure black fur. The carriage was not fancy, but it was extremely serious and heavy, and it looked like With the aura of keeping strangers away.

Behind the chariot were the chariots of Chen Hezhi, the minister, Wang Chihu, the eldest son of Duke Zhenguo, as well as minor officials from various ministries and even famous Confucian scholars who accompanied them to the banquet.

Because Ye Jingtang's title is a bit high, as long as he doesn't meet any clan members in the capital, he has to take the lead. At this time, he was sitting in the leader's chariot, wearing a black python robe, with a jade hanging on his waist and a gold crown on his head, looking out the window at the fields.

Fan Qinghe was worried about being poisoned when he went to the banquet in Ye Jingtang. Although he was a little entangled in his heart, he still dressed up as a beautiful maid and sat on the side of the carriage, with the bird being kneaded like dough lying on his knees.

Although Ye Jingtang's python robe and jade belt looked very handsome, Fan Qinghe couldn't appreciate it, and he kept thinking secretly in his mind:

What on earth did he mean? He didn't knock on the door last night...

Maybe I was too busy and forgot...

After thinking for a long time, Fan Qinghe felt that the atmosphere was a bit too silent, so he took the initiative and said:

"Jingtang, after the banquet, shall we go back?"

Ye Jingtang retracted his gaze, showed a smile, stood up, sat down in front of the car window, and scratched Bird's claws:

"After the banquet, the night will definitely get darker. The arrangement is to rest at Furong Pond and return together tomorrow morning. If you want to go home, I can go back in advance."

Fan Qinghe naturally could not interfere with the official affairs of Ye Jingtang because of his own likes and dislikes. He shook his head and then said:

"How are the accommodation arrangements for the night? I won't be with you..."

Ye Jingtang blinked: "These are arranged by people from the Ministry of Etiquette, and I don't know. But Miss Fan pretends to be my accompanying maid, and there is a high probability that she will be arranged to sleep together."

"Ah?" Fan Qinghe's expression froze.

"Don't worry, we just take turns keeping watch at night. There are people from Beiliang nearby. How can I sleep peacefully?"

"..."

Fan Qinghe was not a stupid girl, so she didn't believe this. If they weren't in the same room, Ye Jingtang would dare to touch the bed and take her first kiss by force. If they had to live together at night, I'm afraid they would have to fake it and make it real. Concubine...

Fan Qinghe felt that he might suffer a big loss at night, but he couldn't abandon the Night Terror Hall and just walk around like this. At that moment, he could only purse his lips and say nothing.

The night terror hall had touched, looked at and kissed her a few days ago, which scared Miss Fan and made her feel a little ashamed. She stopped messing around and secretly observed the situation on the roadside.

Furong Pond is located at the foot of Yutan Mountain. It is a garden built by the imperial court. It is grand in scale and has numerous interior landscape pavilions. The entrance banquet after the Spring Festival was held here, and it was also used for daily receptions.

As the sky gradually darkened, bright yellow lights lit up in the Lotus Pond, several boats cruised on the Lotus Pond, and fireworks were set off outside to heighten the atmosphere.

Since it was a dinner party, all the students from Beiliang who came from afar were invited, and some talented scholars from Baima Academy and Imperial College were also invited to accompany them. Talented and beauties could be seen everywhere in the garden.

Ye Jingtang took a chariot into Furong Pond, and many young men and women immediately gathered on both sides of the road, from both the Northern and Southern Dynasties, all coming to see the contemporary Wu Kui.

As a Night Terror Hall Ranger, he wasn't used to this kind of scene where all the stars were holding the moon, so he lowered the car curtain and only looked through the gaps.

As a result, we did not find the pair of young ladies and maids in wheelchairs on the roadside. Instead, we found a fat young man in front of the crowd, wearing a scholar's robe made of Shuiyun brocade, a jade-inlaid square scarf on his head, and holding a gilt gold knife in his hand. Beauty folding fan.

When the carriage passed by, the fat young man did not yell, but shook his fan fiercely and raised his eyebrows, obviously saying hello to the Night Terror Hall.

Ye Jingtang was a little speechless, but apart from waving his fan in the winter, Pei Luo looked like a serious scholar in other aspects. He was busy with official duties and it was difficult to contact him, so he just raised the curtain, nodded and walked over.

咻咻~~

Bang——

Gorgeous fireworks bloomed in the sky, illuminating the colorful Lotus Pond.

More than ten dancers performed dance music in the hall, and countless students drank and chatted in the pavilion.

Ye Jingtang got down from the carriage, and Wang Chihu and Chen Hezhi came up from behind.

Chen Hezhi wore a dark red official robe and looked normal. Wang Chihu, on the other hand, was different. He wore a dark red court uniform, a jade crown on his head and a well-groomed beard. His demeanor looked worse than that of King Zuo Xian, and he was a completely different person compared to the slovenly Heiya Zongqi.

Although he was dressed like a character, Wang Chihu's personality remained unchanged. When he came up to him, he whispered in a low voice:

"After working so hard in the black office, I lost weight due to hard work. When I changed my clothes today, I realized that my robe couldn't even be held up. Look, the waistband of these trousers is loose..."

After chatting for a while, Ye Jingtang went to Wangjiang Pavilion in the center of Furong Pond together. Because Chen Hezhi was the chief officer, he was walking in front, and Ye Jingtang and Wang Chihu were just accompanying him as the main characters.

When the ministers of the two countries came into contact, if they were in public, they could only talk about each other's wine and compliment each other, and they could not talk about anything at all. For this reason, the place where the two parties ate was at the back of the hall of Wangjiang Tower.

Ye Jingtang followed Chen Hezhi into the brightly lit lakeside hall. It could be seen that there were ten tables on the left and right sides of the hall. Fruits, drinks and other items had been placed on them, but no one was seated yet.

Ye Jingtang sat down in the center to the right, while Fan Qinghe stood by the wall behind him wearing a veil.

From left to right are the officials from the Imperial Academy offering wine, including Zhou Qi, Wang Chihu, Chen Hezhi, him, and the secretary in charge of the Ministry of Rites.

The five people waited in their seats for no more than a moment when footsteps came from the inner aisle.

Dong dong dong...

——

In the aisle.

The minister, Li Si, dressed in purple court uniform, led the team towards the drawing room.

Li Si was followed by four people, similar to the lineup of the Wei Dynasty. One was a well-educated scholar named Fu Menglin, who was responsible for serving as a consultant; the other two were people with high status in the Beiliang Army, who were responsible for giving the confidence to overturn the table on the spot. ; The rest are the officials responsible for recording.

The four leaders were all high-level officials in Beiliang. They knew the order secretly issued by Emperor Liang. They were about to see the Ye Jingtang himself. They had some thoughts in their hearts. However, they maintained their manners very well and there was nothing strange about them on the outside.

Tap tap tap~

Wow~

Soon, the sliding door opened, revealing the brightly lit hall.

Li Si walked into the hall with a gentle and elegant demeanor and a smile on his face. His eyes immediately fell on the man in python robe sitting in the hall.

Although he had imagined the appearance of Ye Jingtang many times through portraits and so on, Li Si was still slightly calmed down when he saw him in person.

As a peak martial artist, Ye Jingtang has an impeccable figure and is obviously more powerful than the other four. Coupled with the python robe, golden crown and unsmiling and stern face, it makes people feel as if they have stepped into the Palace of Hell, even the people in the room. The breath is solidified.

Although he was a little stressed, Li Si still showed a gentle smile, walked to the opposite desk, sat down, and said:

"I've heard for a long time that Lord Ye Guo has a good spirit, and it's really extraordinary when I see him today. I'm glad to meet you."

Ye Jingtang has never participated in such an occasion, and no one has given him training. At the moment, he is just sitting upright as a backdrop. When the other party opens his mouth, he greets him first. He originally wanted to say out of courtesy: "Thank you, Mr. Li."

But before he could speak, Chen Hezhi, who looked mature and steady beside him, said:

"Why bother pretending to be polite? If I were sitting in your position, I would wish for Mr. Ye to die soon."

?

Ye Jingtang paused for a moment, then looked at Chen Hezhi out of the corner of his eye and asked - is it so direct?

This was not the first time Wang Chihu participated. He raised his hand and asked his entourage to close the door first, and then said:

"We are all old acquaintances, why bother talking in foreign languages. We are busy. Mr. Li wants to come here and secretly has a lot of private matters waiting to be done. If we finish talking early, we can finish the work early."

Li Si chuckled: "Young Master Wang is still so funny. Even so, Li is not too polite. Li came here this time to ask the emperor of your country whether you would like to keep the prince of the Northwest Royal Court. What does it mean to be in Yunan?

"The two countries have formed an alliance and trade, and are brothers. We should advance and retreat together. We, Daliang, have kept our faith and have never interfered in your internal affairs; but your country clearly knows that the Northwest Royal Court is a thorn in our side in the west, and yet it still does this. treachery."

Chen Hezhi simply said: "If Emperor Liang is dissatisfied, Chen can ask the Holy One to abolish the title of Duke Ye and send him back to the West Sea. I wonder if Mr. Li will agree?"

"..."

Naturally, Li Si could not agree. Ye Jingtang stayed in the Wei Dynasty as the Duke of the country, control of the various tribes in the West Sea was still in the hands of Beiliang, and the only enemy was the Wei family.

If Ye Jingtang is really sent back, all the tribes in Xihai will lose control on the spot.

Li Si did not want Ye Jingtang to leave the Wei Dynasty, but he was also afraid that Ye Jingtang would gain power in the Wei Dynasty, so this trip was secretly to eradicate the roots, and overtly he had to provoke the Wei court to become suspicious of Ye Jingtang, so as not to Night Terror Hall is unaffected after the assassination fails.

To this end, Li Si responded with a smile: "How can the Holy One interfere in your internal affairs? It is up to the Empress to decide whether to repatriate or not. I came here today just to remind you that the people in all tribes in the West Sea are all tigers and wolves. They will not If he succumbs to others and allows him to gain power, the people of the Northern and Southern Dynasties will suffer..."

Fan Qinghe stood behind him and was naturally annoyed when he heard these words, but in this situation, she couldn't interrupt.

After listening to a few words, Ye Jingtang also understood what Li Si meant and interjected:

"Master Li's words are wrong. The tribes of Xihai have been integrated into the territory of Beiliang twenty years ago, but Master Li still treats them as enemies in his words. Even you yourself don't treat the people of Xihai as your own. People look at it, how can we bring all the tribes in the West Sea back home?

"I was born in a poor place in Liangzhou. I know better than anyone here that the poor don't care who becomes the emperor in the world. They only care about who can keep them full. No matter how miserable their lives are, as long as they can survive, they will never give up. Will think of raising a hoe to rebel.

"If your country implements policies that benefit the people and allow the people of Xihai to have enough food and clothing, even if King Tianlang himself comes back, he won't be able to raise many troops without mentioning me.

"And I was born in the Wei Dynasty, and I have never been in contact with the tribes in the West Sea. Just because I have the blood of the Northwest Royal Court, I can respond to everyone in Langxuan City. Almost everyone in the entire West Sea tribes miss the Royal Court. This is It seems to me that it's your Beiliang problem.

"If your country doesn't reflect on it, even if it succeeds in making me lose power in the Wei Dynasty, or even die on the streets, sooner or later the second and third Tianlang King will appear in the various tribes in the West Sea. How many times can your country exterminate them?"

Chen Hezhi's eyes were surprised. He didn't expect Ye Jingtang's speech and behavior to be so steady. He nodded immediately and said:

"The right person will get more help, but the wrong person will get less help. This is a truth that all military men in the Ye Kingdom understand. Could it be that Mr. Li doesn't understand it?"

Li Si looked unmoved and shook his head:

"The tribes of the Western Sea are not ordinary obedient people. Both the Northern and Southern Dynasties originated in the northwest. The tribes of the Western Sea consider themselves orthodox in the world. They have destroyed their country many times over thousands of years, but their backbone has not been broken. They only want to restore the country and rely only on kindness. This strategy cannot dispel his determination.

"Today, I accidentally heard a posthumous song by a die-hard loyalist of the Northwest Royal Court. It vividly demonstrated the character and bloody character of the various tribes in the West Sea. Do you want to listen to it?"

Chen Hezhi said calmly: "Master Li, please speak."

Li Si thought for a while and said, "The beacon fire is shining on Xijing, and I feel uneasy..."

? ? ?

Ye Jingtang's cold and extraordinary demeanor condensed, he sat up a little straighter, his eyes were a little weird.

As for Chen Hezhi and Master Zhou, who was offering the wine, their eyes changed slightly, and they secretly thought something was wrong.

After all, they had no impression of this powerful poem. Li Si suddenly took it out. If they couldn't explain it, wouldn't this meeting become the main field of Beiliang, and they would just listen to Li Si's lectures?

The more Chen Hezhi listened, the more frightened he became. He looked at Old Master Zhou sitting on the far left from the corner of his eye and asked if he knew the details of the source.

Master Zhou was confused and wanted his students to investigate, but there was obviously no chance in this situation, so he could only maintain a mature and serious look and listen attentively.

When Li Si saw the change in the expressions of the two diplomats, he knew that they had not heard anything, and their tone became impassioned. After finishing reading, he sighed:

"I would rather be a centurion than a scholar! The character and talent shown in this poem are far stronger than those of us, the famous scholars and scholars who were pampered in the northern and southern dynasties; a place that can cultivate this kind of scholarly spirit will not be depressed even for a moment. If you fall short of your ambition, you will surely rise again in the future, don’t you think so, Mr. Chen and Mr. Zhou?”

The current topic of debate is that the Northwest Royal Court is too hard-boned and cannot be completely subdued with gentle policies.

Chen Hezhi and Zhou Laofuzi felt that the bloody determination and patriotic sentiments displayed in this poem were impeccable, but they agreed with Li Si's point of view.

If they say no, they have to refute this poem. They don’t even know the background of the person who wrote the poem, so what references can they use to refute it?

Chen Hezhi hesitated a little and did not speak immediately.

And Ye Jingtang was sitting next to him, and he didn't expect that the thing he used to scare the young talented girl from Beiliang at noon would be brought by Li Si at night to suppress his own family.

Chen Hezhi definitely couldn't respond to this thing. Seeing this, Ye Jingtang thought about it for a moment and said:

"This poem was written by a school clerk who worked in the Northwest Royal Court Secretariat in the past. Due to the turmoil in the royal court, many official positions were changed. Throughout his life, he worked diligently, loved the people, and had a heart for the country and the people, but he was by no means a warlike, foolish, and loyal person. , and is well aware of the hardships of the army and the people. Mr. Li only heard a poem and used it to conclude that the people of the West Sea are only focused on restoring the country, which is too narrow-minded."

Saying that, Ye Jingtang raised his hand slightly and asked the clerk on the right to get a pen and paper and write a few lines on the paper.

Li Si's expression froze slightly when he saw that Ye Jingtang was full of family treasures, and he subconsciously sat up a little straighter, as did the other four.

Chen Hezhi and others, like Li Si and others, were a little confused. Chen Hezhi sat next to him, turned his head to check, and said softly:

"The journey to the north of the fortress is far away, and the battle to the south of the city is hard. Flags and flags are like bird wings, and armor is like fish scales. The cold water hurts the horses, and the sad wind kills people. The sun is bright in the heart, but the yellow dust is dark for thousands of miles..."

The soft words came out, and the living room gradually became silent.

Not to mention the officials of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, even Fan Qinghe was stunned and thought to himself: In the West Sea, a place where birds do not lay eggs, can such a great scholar who cares about the country and the people emerge? Why haven't I heard of it...

After Ye Jingtang finished writing fluently, he handed the paper to the attendant behind him and asked him to present it to Li Si:

"Master Li, have you ever heard of this poem?"

Li Si's expression was a little stiff. He raised his hand to take the paper, read it carefully again, thought about it and said:

"Li is not talented and is indeed ignorant."

"Does Mr. Li understand the meaning of this poem?"

"..."

Li Si must have understood clearly that it was an anti-war poem that described the cruelty of war and was dripping with blood. The style was the same as the previous one, so it was obviously written by one person. He thought for a moment and said:

"Hmm... I don't know the name of the senior who wrote this poem? Li has been an official for many years and knows a lot about the various ministries in Xihai and even the royal court, but he has never..."

Ye Jingtang calmly said: "Twenty years ago, Beiliang tore up the alliance and the army pressed on the border. In order to protect the people from the war, Wang Ting resisted the enemy at the Tianlang Lake. After the defeat, countless people who cared about the country and the people died for this. . Master Li, as a victor, came to ask me for my name, where can I start to check it?"

"Uh..." Li Si's expression froze.

"I actually want to ask Mr. Li where these people are buried. They knew the pain of war and did not want to fight. However, the Beiliang army pressed on the border and they had to fight in order to protect the people behind them from being bullied by the enemy. After dying in battle and martyring their country, Beiliang Liang has gotten everything he wanted, but he has never had any respect for these people who care about the country and the people, nor has he shown any sympathy for the people of the West Sea. Now he has begun to ask about the origin of these two poems."

Ye Jingtang glanced at the five people opposite:

"Is it possible that the hundreds of thousands of lives buried on the banks of Tianlang Lake are not as good as these two poems, which can serve as a warning to everyone, what is meant by 'the prosperity of the people is suffering; the death of the people is suffering'?"

"..."

Li Si was speechless.

He had prepared a lot before coming here, and even thought about how he should deal with Ye Jingtang's forced humiliation with his martial arts.

But he never expected that Wu Kui, who was extremely skilled in martial arts, would talk to him about righteousness, and even quote the scriptures with love and reason, forcing him to say nothing.

After a few words, the great benevolence and righteousness were completely lost, and it was also revealed that one's talent and knowledge were lacking. What else was there to talk about?

The hall was quiet for a long time.

After all, Wang Chihu was a martial artist with little knowledge. He didn't feel the impact as much as the civil servants. He was the first to react, clapped his hands and praised:

"Look, it's not unreasonable for someone to be a prince at such a young age. Mr. Li, it's better to keep a low profile and just talk about things when you have something to say. Talking about it is just asking for humiliation, but using force is asking for death. It's my turn. , I might as well just crash to death. Right, Mr. Chen?"

Before Chen Hezhi came, he never thought that the knife used to kill Ye Jingtang's heart would be more severe than the knife on his waist. He just didn't know what to say at the moment.

After the five people from Beiliang held it in for a long time, it was the great scholar Fu Menglin who picked out a little problem:

"The Lord of the Kingdom of Ye is knowledgeable about ancient times and understands the righteousness of the present, which really impressed us. However, the phrase 'the road to the north of Sai is a long way away' is quite appropriate in the Southern Dynasties, and the north of the northwest royal court is the territory of the Qinchi tribe..."

Ye Jingtang tilted his head slightly: "Before Jiazi, Beiliang made a surprise attack on the rear of the northwest royal court. They burned, killed, looted and left no grass behind, leaving the royal court in ruins. Has Mr. Fu forgotten this, or does he think it is not a war?"

"..."

Fu Menglin's expression was slightly stiff, and under those calm but sharp eyes like two sharp knives, he couldn't keep his posture steady and lowered his head.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Ye Jingtang stood up slowly:

"I know very little about the political affairs of the two countries, so I won't interrupt your discussion. I will go outside for a walk. If anything happens, I can send someone to report it at any time."

Tap tap tap...

Wow~

The attendant opened the sliding door and Night Terror Hall slowly left.

During the negotiations between the two countries, it is very arrogant and rude to suddenly leave the table and leave the guests aside.

But if Li Si stopped Ye Jingtang, his words would probably be unfavorable. At the moment, he just pretended that nothing happened. After the footsteps went away, he regained his momentum and started talking about business with an expressionless face:

"The trade between the two countries has benefited the people on the border deeply..."

Chen Hezhi had been serving as a waiter for half his life. For the first time, he found that communicating with Beiliang was so easy. He just started and it was done. If they continued to ridicule, Li Si and others were afraid that they would be humiliated, so they walked away and talked about it another day. They were a little more polite at the moment and waved:

"Let's serve the food, let's chat while we eat, don't be in a hurry..."

Li Si and others obviously have no appetite, their faces are all green...
