The cold wind is howling outside, but inside the house is as warm as spring.

The earth dragon under the blue bricks was burning brightly. Gao Yao wore a little more clothes and felt some sweat stains on his body.

In the room, on a rocking chair covered with thick mattresses, an old man was resting with his eyes closed. Next to him, a young woman in her early thirties was sitting on her knees, slowly rocking the chair.

The young woman's face was rosy, and her big watery eyes glanced at Gao Yao from time to time, but Gao Yao looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose.

The old man's face and hands are covered with age spots, and he doesn't know how old he is, but if Gao Yao, who is now the comfort envoy of Hedong Road, can sit in front of him in a disciplined manner, his identity will be revealed.

.

Liu Quanyi.

The head of the Liu family is over seventy years old but still in charge of the big ship of the Liu family.

There was a soft knock on the door, and another maid came in, holding a jade-white porcelain cup on a tray filled with a white, somewhat viscous liquid.

You know, that's a woman's milk.

The old man in front of him has seldom eaten grains since a few years ago. What he eats every day is the milk of young women. There are about ten women in the house all year round to provide him with food.

This made Gao Yao somewhat uncomfortable.

"Master, it's time to eat!" The young woman picked up the porcelain cup from the tray, scooped out a full spoonful, and brought it to Liu Quanyi's mouth. The charming voice made Gao Yao tremble.

A shake.

What the hell?

They are obviously a concubine, but they are called Liu Quanyi's uncle.

This habit of the old man is really intolerable.

The old man hummed and opened his mouth, but did not open his eyes.

After slowly drinking the cup of milk, the old man waved his hand. The young woman straightened up knowingly, and her ring jingled as she passed by Gao Yao. Whether intentionally or not, the broad sleeves of her robe passed over Gao Yao's head.

As soon as it passed by, a faint and extremely pleasant fragrance hit his face, which startled Gao Yao.

"It seems that Xiang Niang is quite interested in you!" The old man's closed eyes suddenly opened. Different from the old face on his face, his eyes were bright and lively. "When I go back,

You take her away! I am old, and she is at the age of a tiger and a wolf, and she has served me for so many years, so I won’t delay her anymore.”

"What are you talking about, father-in-law? If Lan'er finds out, I'm afraid I won't be allowed to enter the house today!" Gao Yao smiled and said, "Besides, my son-in-law can't look down on people like Aunt Qian."

The old man laughed, raised his hand to stroke his beard, looked at the roof, and asked: "Then Wang Jun, can't you really pull me over?"

Gao Yao shook his head.

"That's a pity. This person has real abilities." Liu Quanyi said: "This person was Xiao Ding's deputy general back then. He has been able to sit firmly in this position for so many years. It shows that this person is not in vain.

, Ma Xing also thinks highly of him. If Ma Xing had not lost power in the end, he would not have been unlucky. Now that the court is using him again, it is naturally because of his real ability. We in Hedong really lack such generals!"

"Father-in-law, this person must have just arrived. If we don't let my son-in-law spend a little more time to win over him." Gao Yao said: "Let him touch more nails and know who can be the master of the house in Hedong. I think I can make him

He has changed."

"Now, we don't have this time!" Liu Quanyi exhaled a breath: "We can't wait, and he can't wait either. So, he will take action soon."

"Then he is asking for death!" Gao Yao sneered.

"Hedong has its own rules." Liu Quanyi said: "In recent years, the imperial court has not only not given much benefit to Hedong, but has continuously sucked blood from Hedong and tried its best to suppress big families like us. Liu's thousand-year-old family, these more than 100

In the past few years, has there ever been a purple-robed official? The highest one is just a fifth-grade court official. Hehe, it is really a joke in the world. Those pacification envoys, transfer envoys, all commanding envoys, one after another

They come and go like a revolving door, but they never forget to scrape our Hedong territory and try their best to weaken us."

"But after all, we have never defeated you, father-in-law. Now, Hedong still falls into our hands." Gao Yao said with a smile. "To be honest, when father-in-law decided to join forces with Zhang Yunsheng in this game, you really put me in trouble.

I was shocked."

"Shi Ye, the power finally allowed us to seize this good opportunity!" Liu Quanyi said: "If it were not so, how could you be promoted to power. If it weren't for the great changes in the world, as Liu's son-in-law, you would be able to reach the top.

Become a fourth-rank official and then be sent to Bianliang to waste your life."

"Zhang Yunsheng is really getting an advantage. He obviously promised to do a game, but he wants to fake it and do it for real." Gao Yao said bitterly.

Liu Quanyi smiled: "We took precautions a long time ago, didn't we? In the end, he suffered a moderate loss, so we also suffered no loss. This person can still cooperate in the future. Xuecheng, tell me about your

What do you think of the general trend of the world?"

Gao Yao bowed and said: "Father-in-law, from my son-in-law's point of view, the country is really doomed this time. Now that I taste it carefully, the Liao Kingdom's plan this time is really very clever. And Cui Ang

The final surrender of the Liao Kingdom can be said to be the heaviest blow to the country. Now that the Liao army has arrived at the gates of Tokyo, I am afraid that they will not be able to wait for reinforcements."

"People's hearts are shattered!" Liu Quanyi said: "The effect of Yelu Jun and Xiao Chuo's move, which costs a thousand gold pieces of horse bones, can defeat thousands of armies."

"Yes, Ye Lujun's move is equivalent to an edict to the world. They want to destroy the Song Dynasty, but they do not want to directly occupy the Song Dynasty. In the future, they will need many agents to manage this huge country for them.

The world." Gao Yao said: "Since there is King Zhao, there may be King Qi, King Yan, King Jin, King Han, and King Wei in the future!"

"Anyone who is not a king is just a false name. If you don't have the strength, anyone can take his place!" Liu Quanyi said calmly: "Cui Ang Huaiyuan, I can calculate now that he will definitely die without a burial place in the future. It's just Xuecheng, I

We don’t want Hedong to fall into the flames of war again. The lives of the people in Hedong will be devastated. In the end, we, the people of Hedong, will only suffer! What Zhang Yunsheng did last time has made the people of Hedong understand what war is, and their hearts have calmed down.

A mediocre Zhang Yunsheng can make me in Hedong jump like a chicken. If the Liao people, who are stronger than Guochao, come with a large army, how can I still have one in Hedong? After several battles, no matter whether we win or lose.

, how many people in Hedong can survive?"

"My father-in-law's kind heart will be deeply touched by the people of Hedong!" Gao Yao said.

Liu Quanyi sighed: "This is for the sake of face, but if I retreat to the small righteousness of my family's survival, I have to do this! Wang Jun's coming here has made it clear that he wants to occupy our military power in the east of the river. But if we

If the Liu family and other major families don't support it, why can he get military power and gather troops to serve the king? I think he already knew our attitude at the banquet a few days ago."

"Of course, kill one as a warning to others." Gao Yao said: "Find a way to pick the most powerful one and kill it, so as to frighten the entire Hedong. Then you can almost control it with force."

"So our Liu family must be the one he chooses!" Liu Quanyi said: "Our Liu family, a thousand-year-old family, not only has people, but also has money and influence. Killing us will not only silence Hedong, but also gain a lot of money.

Wealth, without money, why would Wang Jun command his soldiers? Speaking of which, the wealth of our Liu family is what he wants most, right?"

"He should think so!" Gao Yao said: "Now, he should be in touch with the trump card he relies on. In the past two days, many officers promoted by Zheng Bin have gone to see him."

"These are just deceptions." Liu Quanyi laughed: "But he probably never imagined that what he thought was his real trump card had already defected to us!"

"To be honest, when that person came to me, I was intimidated!" Gao Yao said: "I never expected that Zheng Bin, that rude man, could actually have such skills."

"Don't say it's you, I didn't expect it." Liu Quanyi said: "This also reminds us not to underestimate anyone in the world. If this guy didn't think that the court has nothing to pursue now, he wants to fight with us.

If we work together to create a great cause, it is really possible for us to find a way. If we don’t destroy our family and the whole family, we won’t be able to escape if our strength is severely damaged.”

"Zheng Bin and Ding Hui, they are two people who can't be compared with each other no matter how you look at them. Who knew they were actually biological brothers!" Gao Yao said with emotion: "And this Ding Hui has become our best friend step by step.

One of the people you trust controls an elite force that controls the entire city of Bingzhou!"

"This man's vision is much better than Zheng Bin's." Liu Quanyi said: "Now that Wang Jun is doing this, we can actually use his plan. Not only can we dig out all the unstable factors in Hedong, but we may also be able to catch a few people.

A big fish!”

"Father-in-law, what do you mean?"

"Wang Jun wants to do this, and wants to completely uproot our Liu family. With his status, it is just like having Ding Hui to help him. It is difficult to do it, but if he can find another person, it will be very different.

!" Liu Quanyi said. "This person is on the road to Shaanxi at the moment. I think Wang Jun will definitely think of this, and that person will definitely come after hearing the news."

"Master Luo Songluo!" Gao Yao blurted out.

"Yes. I think that after Xianggong Luo Song knows these clues about Hedong Road, he will definitely come. Help Wang Jun pull out this nail of ours, and then assemble the entire Hedong army, plus the Shaanxi Road Forbidden Army, Luo Xianggong will

We can gather an army of 100,000 and go out to fight Yelu Zhen in the river." Liu Quanyi smiled and said: "So, if we capture Luo Xianggong and send him to Yelu Jun's tent, and then join forces with Yelu Zhen to severely damage the Shaanxi Forbidden Army.

, how can this merit be compared to Cui Ang’s worthless thing?”

Gao Yao was surprised and said: "It turns out that what my father-in-law wants is not only the King of Jin, but also the King of Qin!"

"If you really make it this far, the King of Qin will be yours, and the King of Jin will naturally be a descendant of my Liu family. When the time comes, Hedong and Shaanxi will become horns with each other, and they will echo each other, so they may not be able to do great things."

Gao Yao was silent for a long time and said: "Will the Liao people agree? Cui Ang is just an empty-headed King of Zhao. Even if the Liao people really grant him the land of Hebei in the future, Cui Ang will not have many available people.

It would be turned into a decoration by the Liao people. But it is different here. We can truly control the area."

"I didn't plan this whole thing!" Liu Quanyi sat up straight, looked at Gao Yao and said, "Do you know who planned all this for me?"

"My son-in-law doesn't know."

"This person's name is Sun Chun!"

"Sun Chun?" Gao Yao shook his head in confusion. There was no information about this person in his mind.

"This man was a Jinshi in the Liao Kingdom three years ago. There, he was not a big official and his reputation was not very prominent." Liu Quanyi said: "But the backer behind this man is very famous."

"who?"

"Queen of the Liao Kingdom, Xiao Chuo!" Liu Quanyi said every word. "After Sun Chun came to my place, I finally figured out that all the plans of the Liao Kingdom to attack the Song Dynasty were actually made by this queen. And

This queen also has her own plans for the future deployment of the Qin and Jin lands."

"Seriously seal it to us?"

"It is indeed a seal for us, but don't think this is an easy and beautiful thing!" Liu Quanyi said: "If we take these two places, we will have to deal with the attacks and plunders from the Western Army north of Hengshan."

Gao Ding nodded: "Xiao Ding is a bit stubborn. His family has been made like this by the imperial court, but he still refuses to openly call himself a loner. And judging from what he meant after this incident, he actually wants to

Alliance with the Song Dynasty to fight against the Liao Dynasty. If we really take these two places, he will definitely attack us with all his strength."
