Among the four people who walked into the handsome tent, except for Bago, who was already very familiar to Li Jing, the other three were also very familiar.
The gentle and elegant middle-aged man in a scholar's shirt was holding a white folding fan of the same style as Zhang Zifan. After being led in by several military attachés, he first glanced at the handsome empress, and then naturally turned his attention to Li Li, who was sitting on the upper left. On Jing.
"Minister Li Siyuan, please see Your Highness."
"Li Cunli, Baer...Bago, please see your highness."
Li Jing stroked the warm tea cup with her palm and just frowned calmly. It was obvious that Bago's expression became a little colder after seeing his true appearance.
But he only glanced at Li Cunli and Baer who were behind Li Siyuan, and did not get up. He just sat behind the couch and smiled.
"I have heard about the Holy Lord for a long time. When I saw him today, I made up for the regret I had felt for a long time."
Li Siyuan laughed, and with a slight shake of his right hand, he unfolded the folding fan and shook it gently in front of his chest.
He didn't care much about the glares of the Qi army generals around him, and looked at Li Jing sincerely.
"This star really wants to retire"
"At that time, my adopted son met His Highness once in Fengxiang City. After he came back, he admired His Highness extremely and kept saying that he would find a chance to meet His Highness again. But unfortunately, he did not return from his trip this time, so he did not go there. Come. If Quanzi invites you in the future, I would also like to invite Your Highness to visit Taiyuan..."
Li Jing just rubbed the tea cup gently with her fingers and smiled without saying a word.
Rather than listen to Li Siyuan's polite nonsense, he wanted to see Zhang Zifan more.
From the beginning to the end, Li Siyuan did not worship the empress, and the empress was too lazy to pay attention to this old fox with a hidden knife in his smile.
After the polite exchange with Li Jing ended, Li Siyuan looked at the empress behind the handsome man.
"King Qi, you're fine. How are you lately?"
The empress laughed lightly, leaned lazily on the couch, and waved her hands.
"Li Siyuan, there is no need to say any polite words. My army is about to set off. If you have anything to do, please make it clear as soon as possible. Don't waste time."
Li Cunli, who was wearing a black gauze hat and only showing some silver hair at the temples, had previously just clasped his hands in front of his chest, letting the two wide silver-white embroidered cuffs hang down naturally, so that they were tightly covered together, and his hands were completely hidden in them. , lowered his head slightly, looking at the ground.
It wasn't until he noticed that the atmosphere in the tent suddenly became tense that he hid his eyes and glanced at the military generals on both sides, and then lowered his head in silence.
Hearing the empress' words, Li Siyuan shook his folding fan. Although there was a smile on his face, his tone changed slightly.
"The day before yesterday, King Qi led his army directly into the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom. After the King of Jin heard the news, he specially ordered his ministers to come to Haosheng to pay a visit. He said that he must ask King Qi and a group of soldiers to reward him in Jin before he could turn back, so as not to Give King Jin a reputation for not treating guests well..."
Several generals around them had half of their swords drawn from their waists in an instant, staring at them with heavy eyes.
Li Jing put his hand on the table with interest and looked at Li Da'er.
Judging from the literal meaning, his words clearly stated that he wanted to reward the Qi army, but on such an occasion, he quite meant to keep the Qi army in Jin.
But the empress just raised the corners of her mouth lightly and said calmly: "Thank you very much, King Jin, for your kindness, but the new year is approaching, and all the soldiers below are anxious to go back to celebrate the New Year, so they will not covet a reward from King Jin."
"Since your matter is settled, there is no need to say more. Go back and tell Prince Jin that His Highness is in Fengxiang City, but he is waiting for Prince Jin to come to Fengxiang to see you."
Li Siyuan stretched out his hand, slowly touched his mustache, and moved the corners of his mouth with a smile on his face.
"I will definitely bring this to you, but King Jin also has something to say."
After saying that, he paused for a moment and bowed respectfully to Li Jing.
"It is certainly true that King Qi will lead a large army to welcome His Highness, but if the world is in chaos, King Qi should also take care of the people on both sides and not cause unnecessary war."
The empress waved her hand to signal the military attachés around her not to be impulsive.
"When the King of Jin said this, I became interested. Back then, I just watched the Shatuo cavalry from a distance. If there is an opportunity in the future, the two armies can compete with each other."
Li Jing nodded slightly. In fact, if the two armies were fighting, the Qi army might have been slightly inferior to the Jin army before.
But now with the blessing of artillery, there is nothing to worry about.
The power of firearms is just enough to restrain the galloping cavalry.
If Li Keyong wanted to fight Qi State while he was fighting Liang State, the empress would not mind letting the artillery test its edge.
But Li Siyuan didn't know the inside story. His eyes flickered slightly, his face darkened a little, and he looked at the empress solemnly.
In the past, Qi Country has been committed to peaceful development and tried its best to reduce war, but it seems that now, the momentum has become a bit stronger...
Perhaps, it’s because I have this son in hand...
Glancing calmly at Li Jing, who had been smiling silently, Li Siyuan laughed.
"Since King Qi is in a hurry to return to the army, I won't bother you too much. But I learned that when His Highness was in Taiyuan City, one of his subordinates was very offended by His Highness. A few days ago, he was very angry because of some misunderstandings. I had a conflict with His Highness, and I came here today with the intention of making amends to His Highness..."
Li Jing's face turned solemn when she saw Bago behind Li Siyuan. She immediately raised her head in disbelief and looked towards him.
Sure enough, in just the next second, Ba Ge was instantly kicked in the back knee by Li Cunli, who had been pretending to be deaf and mute next to her, and she fell to the ground without any defense.
Everyone in the handsome tent was shocked by this sudden change.
Even the Empress and Chi Meng focused on Bage, who was kneeling on the ground in pain and humiliation.
Li Jing closed her eyes and just focused on Li Siyuan's face.
"What does the Holy Lord mean by this move?"
Li Siyuan shook the folding fan and said with a smile: "Earlier, Your Highness visited Taiyuan incognito, but this subordinate of the minister did not know people. He actually charged into His Highness without any reason, and then led people to chase His Highness. Today, I will give him to you." Your Highness will give you an explanation."
Li Jing did not look at Bago, who suddenly turned pale, but just took a slow sip of tea.
"According to the Holy Lord's wishes, how do you want to deal with her?"
Li Siyuan had a smile on his face, but his words were sinister.
"According to my wishes, it would be better to take off her head so that His Highness can vent his anger."
Ba Ge, who was kneeling next to him, just glanced in disbelief at Li Cunli and Baer who were standing next to her, but both of them were not squinting and stood straight behind Li Siyuan.
Li Siyuan, on the other hand, just kept focusing on Li Jing's face, with an inexplicable color in his eyes, waiting for Li Jing's reaction.
Chi Meng, who was next to him, also turned his head stupidly and looked at Li Jing.
Li Jing faced Bago's indifferent but slightly strange eyes and slowly took a sip of tea.
Then he laughed out loud.
"Since the Holy Master is willing to give up, why not just kill him."
