Yan Qing was about to chase outside when he was caught by Li Shishi. The master said: "Xiao Yi, things are different now. The Emperor went south to seek refuge, and there is no one to back us up. The only people in the capital who can rely on each other are our brother and sister. If you kill the generals and soldiers of the Royal Forest Army, it will be inevitable." You're going to get yourself into trouble." Yan Qingjian said, he opened his eyes angrily and said loudly: "Master, don't be afraid, as long as Xiao Yi is here, no one can do anything to you! Let me drive these soldiers away first. "After saying that, Yan Qing held the sword and went out to kill the general. When the soldiers saw Yan Qing coming out to kill him, they surrounded him with their spears and swords drawn. Yan Qing opened his eyes angrily, roared loudly, "Bang, bang, bang," and chopped down several soldiers to the ground. The soldiers knew that they were no match for Yan Qing and that if the stalemate continued, their lives would be lost, so they shouted and dispersed, each running for his life.
Yan Qing stood in front of Xinghua Tower with a sword in hand. When he saw the soldiers running away without a trace, he entered the building again. The master came over and asked Yan Qing: "Xiao Yi, what should we do now?" Yan Qing said: "Find the pardon letter written by the Supreme Emperor to me. I have the pardon letter from the Supreme Emperor. I don't think they can do anything to me. .”
The pardon written by Emperor Zhao Ji to Yan Qing a few years ago has been kept by Master Li. Seeing this, Mr. Li hurriedly climbed to the third floor and found the pardon letter that had been placed at the bottom of the box.
Master Li went downstairs and handed the pardon letter to Yan Qing. Yan Qing took the pardon letter and pretended.
Li Shishi said to Yan Qing: "Xiao Yi, at the time of war and chaos, the Supreme Emperor went south to seek refuge again. Now that there is a letter of pardon from the Supreme Emperor, there is no guarantee that he will be safe. Xiao Yi, run away! Soon, a large group of troops will arrive. By then, I won’t be able to run away even if I want to.”
Yan Qing said: "As long as I want to run away, there is nothing I can't do. No one can stop me! But if I run away, what will you do? What will you do with the gold and silver? Master, I can't run, and I can't kill you." People are left behind. If you want to run, let’s run together; if you want to stay, let’s stay together.”
Hearing this, Master Li said: "Gold and silver are external things, and they must be taken away. Xiaoyi, my sister is from a womanly family, so it doesn't matter. You are a man, and you are in the imperial court, how can you sacrifice yourself lightly? You Let’s go and leave my sister alone.”
"No!" Yan Qing said: "Sister treats me with kindness like a mountain. I want to share joys and sorrows, hardships, life and death with my sister. Master, please come with me!"
Li Shishi shook his head and said: "Sister can't leave. Sister has to wait for the Emperor to come back. If sister leaves and the Emperor comes back and cannot find her, tell her what to do."
Seeing this, Yan Qing had no choice but to say: "Then Xiao Yi will stay with my sister to protect her and wait for the Supreme Emperor to return to the capital."
Yan Qing was talking to Master Li, and a group of soldiers and horses, followed by a general, came to Xinghua Tower and surrounded Xinghua Tower.
It was Kaifeng Prefecture Yin Xu Bingzhe who came with troops and horses.
At that time, Xu Bingzhe was sitting in the Kaifeng Mansion. Suddenly, a yamen official came in and shouted: "Tell Mr. Fu Yin that someone attacked Xinghua Tower. Zhao Qiang, who was in charge, was killed, and the soldiers guarding Xinghua Tower were driven away."
Xu Bingzhe was furious when he heard the report. He jumped up from behind the case and asked loudly: "Who is so bold? Dare to attack Xinghua Tower, kill Tiha and drive away the soldiers?! Prepare your horses! Wait for me to come. Go check it out.”
Xu Bingzhe quickly walked out of the hall, and the soldiers had led the horses to the front of the hall. Xu Bingzhe got on his horse, led more than 200 soldiers and horses, and galloped in front of Xinghua Tower on Xiaoyu Street, causing the soldiers to surround Xinghua Tower.
Xu Bingzhe rode on his horse and pointed at the gate of Xinghua Tower with his riding whip. A soldier shouted loudly: "People inside, listen, Mr. Xu, the Yin of Kaifeng Prefecture, has arrived. Come out to greet him quickly!"
In Xinghua Tower, Yan Qing and Li Shishi heard the noise and walked out of Xinghua Tower.
Xu Bingzhe raised his hand, pointed his riding whip at Yan Qing and said, "Zhuo! Who are you? Why don't you kneel down when you see me?!"
Yan Qing was furious when he saw this. He took out the pardon letter from the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji from his sleeve and shouted loudly: "Who is here?! Now that the Supreme Emperor's handwriting is here, if you don't get off your horse, what else can you do?"
Xu Bingzhe saw the man coming out of the building, holding a sword in one hand and waving paper in the other, claiming that he had a handwritten letter from the Supreme Emperor, without distinguishing the authenticity, so he hurriedly dismounted.
When Yan Qing saw Xu Bingzhe dismounting, he shouted again: "Kneel down!" As he said this, he walked over with a sword in one hand and a handwritten letter from the Supreme Emperor in the other.
When Xu Bingzhe saw this, he was so frightened that he backed away.
Yan Qing shouted again: "Kneel down!"
Yan Qing's voice was like thunder, which made Xu Bingzhe tremble in fright, his legs went weak, and he knelt on the ground.
Yan Qing pointed his sword at the soldiers behind Xu Bingzhe and shouted sternly: "Back off!"
The soldiers all shivered in fright, and they all retreated with Yan Qing's eyes cracked.
The soldiers retreated a foot or so and stood still.
Yan Qing handed the pardon letter in his hand to Xu Bingzhe. Xu Bingzhe knelt on the ground and took the pardon letter handed over by Yan Qing with both hands. When he took a look, it was the thin gold body he was very familiar with, and it was the personal letter of the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji! Looking carefully, I saw it said: "The holder of the book is a bodyguard given by me. His surname is Yan, his given name is Qing, and his courtesy name is Xiaoyi. Regardless of whether he has been guilty in the past or in the future, he will be pardoned." The signature was personally written by Zhao Ji.
After Xu Bingzhe looked at it, he realized that the man in front of him was Yan Qing, a famous hero from Liangshan. He could hurt people without blinking an eye and was extremely brutal.
Xu Bingzhe was frightened and thought, Fortunately, this guy killed me without saying a word. This was already blessed by Amitabha and God. I cannot be considered a hero in front of this guy. Xu Bingzhe thought so, kowtowed hurriedly, and said: "Long live the Emperor! Long live! Long live!"
Xu Bingzhe had just said "Long Live" when he heard Master Li's voice in Yan's voice: "Master Xu, please get up!" Xu Bingzhe heard the voice, looked up and saw Master Li standing at the gate of Xinghua Tower. Xu Bingzhe glanced at Yan Qing. Yan Qing said: "Get up!" Xu Bingzhe got up.
Master Li moved over with broken steps, looked at Xu Bingzhe and said blessings, and said in a polite voice: "Master Xu, please come into the building to talk." Xu Bingzhe replied: "I don't dare to return to the imperial concubine Ming." Master Li said: "It doesn't matter. Master Xu, please come in." Xu Bingzhe looked at Yan Qing again. Yan Qing said: "Please!" Xu Bingzhe walked into the Xinghua Tower accompanied by Master Li.
When Xu Bingzhe entered the Xinghua Building, the first thing he saw were two large boxes of gold and silver. His eyes shone, and then he looked away.
Master Li sat on the Grand Master's chair on the left side of the Eight Immortals table and said to Xu Bingzhe: "Master Xu, please sit down."
Xu Bingzhe looked at Master Li and bowed to her: "In front of Concubine Ming, I don't dare to sit down, so I just stand and listen to the order."
Li Shishi said: "General Yan is my sworn brother. Before Liangshan was summoned, the Supreme Emperor met with General Yan. They had a good conversation. He specially appointed General Yan as a bodyguard and wrote a letter of pardon in person. Mr. Xu may not know this. ?”
Xu Bingzhe knew about Yan Qing. A few years ago, Xu Bingzhe was in charge of the Kaifeng Mansion. One day, a yamen servant suddenly reported that Fang Layu's party had entered the city. He was shocked at that time. He thought it was a large number of Fang Layu's party, so he rushed to the Palace Commander's Mansion to invite Taiwei Gao Qiu. Send troops to search for Fang La's remaining party.
As a result, it was not a large number of Fangla's remnants who entered Bianjing City, but a few people such as Yan Qing and Fangla's second princess Yinzhi.
The situation was immediately reported to Huizong Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji also wondered how Fang La's remaining party appeared in the capital, led by Yan Qing, whom he had personally pardoned.
At that time, Song Jiang had returned victoriously from the campaign against Fangla and was resting his horse in the southern suburbs of Bianjing. Huizong then summoned Song Jiang to inquire about the situation. Only then did he learn that Yan Qing had gone deep into Fangla's lair to help Yuandong and had made great achievements, but on his way back to Beijing, he left without saying goodbye. Xu Bingzhe didn't expect to meet Yan Qing in person in front of Xinghua Tower today. Xu Bingzhe secretly rejoiced that he was lucky enough not to let Yan Qing cut him off with a sword; what if Yan Qing had cut him off with a sword and he would have been cut off, so what would have happened! He has a pardon written by the Supreme Emperor in his hand, who can do anything to him? !
Thinking of this, Xu Bingzhe felt a lot guilty and replied in a low voice: "To answer what Concubine Ming said, I really don't know General Yan." After saying that, Xu Bingzhe bowed to Yan Qing again and said: "You have eyes but you don't know." Knowing Mount Tai is an offense to General Yan."
Yan Qing snorted and said nothing.
Master Li said: "Don't blame those who don't know. Mr. Xu, your subordinates came to Xinghua Tower to collect gold and silver, but you sent them?"
Xu Bingzhe hurriedly excused himself: "No, Ming Fei is not sent by a minor minister, but actually sent by Shangguan Wang Shiyong."
Li Shishi said: "No matter who sent it, it is the Imperial Guards of Kaifeng Prefecture. Mr. Xu, when the court is in trouble, I should do my best. There is gold and silver. You can see where it is." Xu Bingzhe turned his head. He looked at the two boxes of gold and silver again, his eyes shining like gold.
Li Shishi continued: "Kaifeng Mansion collects gold and silver according to the imperial court's order. It is true that you, the general of Kaifeng Mansion, should not intimidate me. Although I am from a humble background, I am a concubine bestowed by the Supreme Emperor. You, Kaifeng Mansion A small official wants to take my body, so where will the Emperor be placed? When the Emperor comes back in the future, will I report it or not? If I report it, what kind of responsibility will your Kaifeng Mansion bear? Responsibility? With the status and power of the Supreme Emperor, I can’t deal with your Kaifeng Mansion?"
Seeing this, Xu Bingzhe was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground and defended loudly: "Hui Ming Concubine, I really don't know about this situation. I hope you will forgive me."
Yan Qing on the side said angrily: "That guy has been killed by this guard!"
Xu Bingzhe shouted loudly: "Well done! If I know about it, I will kill that guy too."
Master Li said: "Master Xu, please get up. Even if this matter is over, Master Xu can ask the soldiers to carry away the two boxes of gold and silver."
Xu Bingzhe was shocked when he heard this and replied without thinking: "I don't dare."
"Why don't you dare?" Master Li asked.
Xu Bingzhe thought to himself, yes, it was the Holy Emperor who sent me to search for gold and silver. Shangguan Wang Shiyong also revealed to me that he could collect it from Li Shishi, but after all, Li Shishi was the leader of the Emperor's trip, and they had a good relationship with each other! Besides, the relationship between the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty is that of father and son. The Supreme Emperor's face must be given by the Holy Majesty. When the time comes, the father and son have reconciled, and I have become a sinner. If they hold me accountable, no one will speak to me. Because of this, Xu Bingzhe did not dare to carry away the two boxes of gold and silver placed in Master Li's hall.
Li Shishi smiled and said: "Master Xu, the imperial court is in crisis now. If the Jin people's request is met, Bianjing will be preserved immediately. This little gold and silver is not a big deal. You will also act according to orders. Just carry it away."
When Master Li said this, Xu Bingzhe was tempted again and turned to look at the two boxes of gold and silver. Xu Bingzhe weighed the pros and cons in his mind, wondering whether he should carry away the two boxes of gold and silver.
