Shi Biao sat on a slope, looking into the distance with a sad face.
He now has some second thoughts about letting Li Qing enter the enemy camp alone, so why are their elites here?
However, thinking of Li Qing's high-sounding principles, he couldn't find the loophole for a while.
Shi Biao scratched his hair in distress and cursed: "No matter what, when the seven days are up, no matter what, I have to go to the Tatar camp to rescue him."
If he just goes back like this, not to mention his conscience, the emperor will have to punish him.
I asked you to protect Li Qing, but only Li Qing didn't come back. Are you going to die?
grass!
Li Qipin tricked me... Shi Biao punched the ground and cursed.
"What are you doing?"
"I want you to take care of..." Shi Biao hesitated and turned his head. Li Qing was smiling at him, his white teeth particularly dazzling, "You, why are you back?"
Li Qing said amusedly: "Why, you don't want me to come back?"
"No, it's not." Shi Biao came back to his senses, surprised and happy: "I didn't expect you to come back so soon. How is the situation?"
"I have already met the Supreme Emperor, but..." Li Qing sighed: "The Supreme Emperor feels guilty and has no shame to return to the Ming Dynasty."
"What?" Shi Biao almost bit his tongue, "How is this possible... Isn't this too incredible?"
After a pause, he said suspiciously: "You couldn't make this up, right?"
Fuck, even Shi Biao, a fool, can see this. It seems that it needs to be optimized... Li Qing scratched his head and could only continue to make up:
"It's like this. The Supreme Emperor said that he would stay on the grassland and do something for the Ming Dynasty."
Shi Biao was even more puzzled: "No, how can the Supreme Emperor do things for the Ming Dynasty when he is on the grassland?"
It is indeed not a good job to welcome the Supreme Emperor back. It is futile to welcome him back. Shi Biao still understands this truth. Of course, he never thought about whether to welcome him back or not from the beginning.
"Something's wrong, something's wrong." Shi Biao shook his head repeatedly, "I suspect you are deceiving me."
Li Qing hesitated: "How to say?"
"Look, our Ming Dynasty has established a new king. It will be harmful to the Tatars to keep the emperor, unless they still want to fight a decisive battle with the Ming Dynasty, but this possibility is almost non-existent."
"..." Li Qing didn't know what to say. He regretted that he shouldn't have enlightened Shi Biao, at least not when he came.
"So, even if the Emperor doesn't want to come back, the Tatars will forcefully send him back." Shi Biao said proudly, "Am I right in my analysis?"
You're too damn smart for the time... Li Qing was really convinced.
After all, Li Qing had been in the temple for so many years. If he was easily troubled by Shi Biao, he would no longer be Li Qing.
"What do you know? The Supreme Emperor is the Supreme Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. For this reason alone, the Tatars do not dare to embarrass him." Li Qing said proudly, "Besides, the Supreme Emperor has already done a great thing for the Ming Dynasty."
"What?"
"Civilize the Tatar barbarians!" Li Qing said seriously,
"We have achieved results so far. A team will come to join us tomorrow. I will tell you this when I come back so that the soldiers can be prepared and avoid misunderstandings in the future."
Shi Biao was speechless and said nonchalantly: "Is this all okay?"
"How can you measure the Supreme Emperor's ability?" Li Qing snorted, "You will be able to see them tomorrow. I will go to take care of them first. You wait here honestly. If you ruin the Supreme Emperor's plan, Even ten of your heads are not enough to chop me off."
After saying that, Li Qing turned around and left.
"Wait a minute." Shi Biao grabbed him and said anxiously: "According to what you say, how are we going to reply to the order after we go back?"
Li Qing said with a smile: "The Emperor doesn't want to come back, can we still kidnap him by force?"
"Uh... something's wrong, something's wrong." Shi Biao felt weird no matter how he looked at it.
Li Qing asked, "What's wrong?"
"I...I can't tell." Shi Biao grabbed his hair in pain, and for the first time in his life, he was troubled by the lack of brain power.
"You think too much. There's nothing wrong with it. You can't imagine the height of the Supreme Emperor. Just do your duty." Li Qing said, "Don't forget, I am the chief officer this time."
"...Okay." Shi Biao's head hurt and he simply didn't think about it. There was someone who knew the truth anyway, so there was no need for him to be upset, and he couldn't figure out the reason even if he asked himself.
Li Qing smiled and said: "That's it, we'll see you tomorrow."
…
Putting on a horse, Li Qing rushed to join Yong's army.
The grassland is vast, but with a goal and direction, it is not difficult to reverse the route.
The distance was not very far, and the target of four thousand men and horses was not small. Li Qing galloped all the way, and under the bright moonlight, he finally met up with He Yong in the middle of the night.
As soon as they met, He Yong pulled Li Qing aside with a serious face.
"I already know that the Supreme Emperor is not here." He Yong said, "He has been... It seems that you brought him back, right?"
"That's right." Li Qing nodded. This matter cannot be hidden. The Tatars all know that even with so many mouths, they can't be stopped.
"Then what should we do now?" He Yong frowned and said, "There is no airtight wall in the world. If the court knows about it, not only will you be unlucky, but we will also be unlucky."
"Don't be impatient." Li Qing signaled him not to rush, "How many of these people can speak Chinese?"
"About a hundred people." He Yong said.
Li Qing nodded: "Just ask them to be more strict with their words. On the way back, the two armies must be separated by a distance. It doesn't matter."
"How could this be nothing important?" He Yong said anxiously, "The whole Tatar people know that if the court investigates, they will definitely find out."
"That's a story for another day." Li Qing said with a smile: "Even if the imperial court learns the truth in the future, it will deal with the existing Tatars, not you who have surrendered to the Ming Dynasty;
As I said before, Ming Dynasty hopes to integrate the inner and outer customs. You are not the first, and you will not be the last;
Therefore, even if the imperial court turns against them, it will only turn against a small group of Tatars and will not attack them indiscriminately. "
"really?"
"Of course!" Li Qing said, "There were so many small tribes in the Hongwu Dynasty who took refuge with the Ming Dynasty. Did the Yongle Dynasty attack Mobei in five campaigns?"
"But I am...the culprit after all!" He Yong was still worried.
"One code equals another." Li Qing said: "In addition, as a former Tatar Grand Master, you have taken refuge in the Ming Dynasty and have strong positive guidance. In the future, the Ming Dynasty will need you to develop the integration of internal and external affairs."
After a pause, "Besides, the true pursuit is also the pursuit of Totto Polo. What does it have to do with you and Yong?"
"..." He Yong said speechlessly, "What's the difference?"
"Of course, the difference is huge." Li Qing said, "Totto Polo is a Tatar grand master, and He Yong is a Ming general. Can they be the same?"
He Yong is doubtful, but he has no way out now.
With the few people at hand, it is impossible to compete with the new grand master. Moreover, the subordinates' children are still in the opponent's hands.
If the other party threatens him with this, there is no need to fight. Even some weak-minded subordinates would not be surprised to take him for the safety of their families.
These people under his command were able to follow him solely because of their passion and the conditions he promised.
But as time goes by, if you don't live the good life he said, you will definitely feel dissatisfied.
The only way out is to believe in Li Qing and Ming Dynasty.
"If you break your promise, I will never let you go." He Yong said in a serious voice.
Li Qing smiled and said, "You can rest assured. There is no point in killing you. If you want to be killed, you would have been killed long ago. They will never keep you alive until now."
He Yong thought so and relaxed slightly.
"I have a condition."
"Say," Li Qing said, "As long as it's not too much, I'll try my best to help you fight for it."
"After returning to the Ming Dynasty, we cannot stay in the capital, nor can we be sent to attack our own tribe." He Yong said, "They all know the true situation. If I stay in the capital, my direct descendants will definitely be panicked;
We can seek refuge with Ming Dynasty and serve Ming Dynasty, but we cannot turn around and attack our own people. This is the bottom line. "
Li Qing thought for a while, then nodded and said: "You want to stay in the capital camp, but the court won't allow it. As for not attacking our former members... that's fine. I will advise the emperor after I return and transfer you to other places."
"This is human nature, I can understand it." Li Qing said with a smile.
"really?"
"Of course!" Li Qing said lightly, "I, Li Qing, am not a gentleman, but I still promise a lot of money."
He Yong stared at Li Qing for a while and nodded slowly.
He recognized Li Qing because Li Qing was a capable person, and capable people often have their own pride.
Now that he has made up his mind, He Yong no longer cares about his mother-in-law: "I'm going to make arrangements right now, and I'll leave later."
