Chapter 222 Qin Ye.

Two months have passed since the Hanging Mountain incident.

Fan Xian was originally ordered to stay at home for three months, with the intention of not touching the affairs of the palace and recuperating at home, but Fan Xian, who had recovered in less than two months, could not sit still. Not only did he secretly correspond with Yan Bingyun to interfere in the affairs of the Overwatch Council, he also wrote to Emperor Qing that he would set out to Jiangnan to check the accounts and handle all matters of the inner treasury.

Emperor Qing was pleased to see Fan Xian focusing on his work, but he couldn't help feeling a little troubled.

On the one hand, he was not only worried about whether Fan Xian's body would recover, but on the other hand, it was also a request made by Fan Xian.

This time when he went to Jiangnan, Fan Xian suggested that the shopkeepers of Qing Yu Tang accompany him so that he could check the accounts and make calculations more convenient. The reason was very good. Emperor Qing was just worried that the followers left by Ye Qingmei might have ulterior motives.

You know, these people who work in the economy are no different from soldiers. If they are allowed to focus on sabotage, they will be no worse than an army.

But since it was his own son who wanted to use it, after thinking about it, Emperor Qing agreed to Fan Xian's request.

In this way, Fan Xian left Kyoto and headed for Jiangnan under the protection of a team of swordsmen from the Supervisory Council.

As for the Northern Qi envoys who went to Qing, they also returned to Qi with the letter from Emperor Qing. Now the exchange ceremony is going on at the border between the two countries.

For this reason, Li An, as the national teacher and a grand master, had to leave Shangjing and go to the border.

At this time, the Qing army was slowly withdrawing from Cangzhou County. Seeing the orderly withdrawal of the other side, Li An was also calculating the gap between the Northern Qi army and them. After the military academy students graduated this year, it would still take time to completely change the army.

"Mr. Li, our soldiers are evacuating now. Please hand Ye Liuyun over to us as soon as possible."

The person who spoke was not the civil servant in front of him, but an elderly veteran in the distance.

Li An looked over and saw that the man was still sitting on his horse, with no intention of getting off. His hair and beard were black and white, his eyes were sharp, and his face was simple and vicissitudes. Although he was old, he could still ride a horse and wear armor. Who else could it be but Qin Ye, the number one man in the Qing army?

Li An chuckled, his feet shook, and a thumb-sized stone fell into his hand.

He didn't seem to make any movement, but he just bent his slender fingers lightly and flicked them casually, and the stone shot towards the other party at a speed faster than a bullet!

Qin Ye reacted, but it was still too slow!
He fell off his horse before he could move, but he twisted his body before landing and stood steadily on the ground.

However, the horse he was riding just now was already dead with blood gushing out of all its orifices, and a deep bloody hole appeared in the middle of its forehead!
"you!"

Qin Ye shouted loudly, and his original intention was to show his power, but now it was completely destroyed.

"I know what you mean. The only thing you rely on for your arrogance is the army behind you. But you and I are only a hundred meters apart. If I want to kill you, can you really escape with your ninth-grade cultivation?"

"Qin Ye" is a top expert in the Qing army, with a strength of above the ninth rank. He is the culprit of Ye Qingmei's death and the murderer of Fan Xian's mother. In the original world, despite his great strength, he eventually betrayed the Qing for his own selfish interests, leading to his tragic end.

This is a cold-blooded, selfish person. Although Li An's voice was light, under the infusion of his strong true energy, it easily broke through the distance of 100 meters and passed the words to Qin Ye's ears.

Thinking about it, if he sold this information to Fan Xian at a critical moment, he didn't know what Fan Xian would use as a bargaining chip to repay him. What kind of life-and-death situation would there be between the two of them?

It's too early to kill him now, maybe it will be more useful to keep him.

Qin Ye said in a disdainful voice: "Even when two countries are at war, they don't kill envoys. What's more, you and I are both fulfilling the orders of our respective majesties. Even though you are a grandmaster, what can you do to me?"

"Not at all!" Li An shook his head and laughed loudly, "Anything can be done or not done! If you want to do something, you just need to consider whether the cost of doing it is greater than the benefits you can get!"

Li An looked straight into Qin Ye's eyes, which made him feel as if he was being stared at by a hawk. He felt uncomfortable all over and his brain kept sending out danger signals.

But as a general of his own side, he could not lose his momentum in such a situation even if he died.

What's more, he had already expected that Li An would not take action!
Li An gathered his strength and said again: "I've thought about it carefully, and it seems that killing you will bring more benefits! Even if His Majesty blames me and I get rid of you, even if Qing wants to take action against Northern Qi, it will take some time!"

Without Qin Ye, the highest military leader of Qing, the army of Qing would be in chaos in a short period of time, not to mention any combat effectiveness. Even if Emperor Qing suppressed the army with force and sent in new personnel, the reason why the leader is the leader is not that his ability to command troops is definitely better than some new generals, but because he has been in charge of the army for many years and has unparalleled power. He has all kinds of trusted confidants inserted in various places in the army, and his control over the army can even be said to be at the top!
By then, the Qin family would avenge their father, and even if they wanted to go crazy and retaliate against Northern Qi, they would not be able to organize themselves in a short period of time. Even if they organized an army in a hurry, Li An was confident that he could defeat them together with Shangshan Hu and Yan Xiaoyi.

At that time, the offense and defense will change.

But Li An still didn't take any action. Obviously he had a better way, so why should he try?

If the two armies were to fight each other for a year or so, not only would the wedding date be postponed, but the national strength of Northern Qi would also be greatly damaged. It would be like injuring 10,000 enemies and 8,000 of our own.

If the news of Qin Ye's murder of Ye Qingmei was used properly, things would be much easier and relatively gentler for the innocent people.

"If you kill me, the two countries will surely go to war again. If that happens, then you can come! You will be helping me!"

Qin Ye said in a deep voice.

How can a general not fight? Their Qin family was established through military merit, and now they have reached the top of Qing Kingdom. One step further will be a bottomless abyss. If I go, it will just avoid His Majesty's suspicion of the Qin family, and my sons and nephews will have a broader sky.

What’s more important is that war will also come, and war means merit!

In this way, the Qin family can continue to pass on their legacy safely for decades!
Li An couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing, "It was just a joke. Northern Qi is the orthodox country among all nations, a model of etiquette, so how could it kill an envoy from another country? I was just telling you to have basic respect for the Grand Master, even if he is from an enemy country!"

It is reported that Chen Pingping seems to have been banished to his home. Although he still secretly controls the Control Yuan, his flexibility is no longer the same as before.

After the handover is completed, it will be time to let Sean take some time off, and then I will give your Qin family a big gift!
Qin Ye gritted his teeth and waved away the soldiers rushing forward from behind him, signaling them to stay calm, then Li An said:
"Now that we've had enough fun, let's get down to business!"
