Chapter 342 Yan Xiaoqing
Yan Xiaoqing, the chief of the "Yan" group of spies who was secretly sent by Regent Zhao Defang to the enemy's territory in the west, was transferred back to the capital to report the enemy situation.
Luo Li was also brought by Zhao Defang to the Mo Yunxuan study in the front yard, where she was asked to listen to some customs and cultures, as well as unusual stories, in the Western Regions.
When Yan Xiaoqing was brought into the study by Yun Yi, Luo Li couldn't help but spit out the fragrant tea she had just drunk with laughter.
She had always thought that Yan Xiaoqing was a handsome young man like Yan Qing and Yan Xiao in the storytelling "Water Margin". Unexpectedly, the spy chief Yan Xiaoqing, whose name she had heard of for a long time, was actually a middle-aged fat man.
Yan Xiaoqing is a fat man rarely seen in this era. He is of medium build and weighs about 250 to 260 kilograms. He has a protruding belly, a big double chin, and the fat on his face has squeezed his eyes into slits. If he didn't have any hair, his smiling face would make him look like a Maitreya Buddha.
"I'm Yan Xiaoqing, your honor to meet the prince and princess." Yan Xiaoqing bowed with a smile.
Regent Zhao Defang extended his hand to support him, with a smile in his eyes, "No need to be polite, sit down!"
Yun Yi quickly brought a sturdy big chair to him and said teasingly, "Fei Yan, you have gained weight again in the past few years. Your fat buttocks can't even fit on the small stool."
Yan Xiaoqing's eyes narrowed into slits as he smiled, and he saluted to express his gratitude: "Thank you, Commander Yun, for personally preparing a seat for me. I usually eat too much meat, so I can't get rid of it. This big chair is so comfortable to sit on!"
Thinking of her Night-Shining Jade Lion BMW, Luo Li was the first to express her gratitude, "Mr. Yan, thank you for your hard work in getting me that Night-Shining Jade Lion BMW. I love it very much."
The princess's words were indeed as casual and unrestrained as the rumors said. Yan Xiaoqing clasped her fists and bowed, "Your Highness, you are too polite. The Night-Shining Jade Lion is the favorite mount of the eldest prince of Dayuan, Rong Zhan. I have been thinking about it since I heard that the Night-Shining Jade Lion was pregnant with a foal.
The prince's mount, the BMW Dark Cloud Covering Snow, is unparalleled in majesty. The princess must have a BMW like the Night Shining Jade Lion as a mount. When they go out on horseback, they are absolutely as dazzling and elegant as a pair of immortal lovers!
I heard that the foal looked exactly like the mare Night-Shining Jade Lion, so I went to find the eldest prince Rong Zhan to buy it for a large sum of money, but the guy who loved horses like his life refused to sell it. Later, I said that this was a gift for the princess, or maybe our prince was too proud, Rong Zhan gave the foal to you as a gift without asking for any money. "
Yan Xiaoqing, with a friendly smile on her face, spoke without missing a beat. She not only praised the princess but also praised the prince.
Luo Li praised him admiringly, "You have a very high EQ, you are very cunning, and you are very good at speaking with a smooth tongue!"
Yan Xiaoqing was stunned!
Regent Zhao Defang and Yun Yi couldn't help laughing. Very few people could respond to the princess' naughty words.
Regent Zhao Defang raised a wicked smile and explained to the bewildered Yan Xiaoqing, "Fei Yan, the princess is praising you!
The princess has a unique way of praising people. If you have a chance, you can ask Sima Qingyun how the princess praised him. I guarantee you will feel more comfortable after listening to her."
Thinking of the words the princess used to praise Mr. Sima, Yun Yi beside him couldn't help but laugh so hard that his shoulders shook.
: "Fei Yan doesn't know when she can meet Mr. Sima. Besides, I'm afraid Mr. Sima will be reluctant to tell the truth. Let me tell him the story!" Yun Yi, who has always been steady, rarely has a bad taste.
Regent Zhao Defang looked at Yun Yi approvingly and said, "Okay, you can speak for Mr. Sima!"
Luo Li was a little confused, having forgotten what she had said to praise Sima Qingyun. She watched Zhao Defang and Yun Yi's performance quietly.
Yun Yi cleared his throat and tried to suppress his laughter. "He wears a scholar's scarf that smells sour, a coquettish moon-white robe, and a folding fan in his hand. He looks gentle, dignified, outstanding, and unfathomable. Isn't this the standard version of a dog-headed military advisor who is full of bad intentions, sinister and cunning, and specializes in giving bad ideas?"
Yan Xiaoqing couldn't help laughing, and quickly stood up and bowed deeply to the princess who was holding back her words, "Thank you, Princess, for your compliments on me."
Luo Li couldn't help laughing, remembering Mr. Sima's face that turned pale and blue with embarrassment and shame when she praised Sima Qingyun.
She smiled and covered her eyes, then waved her hands, "You don't have to be polite, Mr. Yan. I really admire and praise you. When I first met Mr. Sima, I had hostility towards him, which is why I praised him so much."
Yan Xiaoqing complimented him in agreement, "Princess, you have a good eye for talent. Your praise for Mr. Sima is really appropriate and to the point."
At this point, Prince Regent Zhao Defang also laughed so hard that he covered his eyes, "Sima Qingyun's popularity is really great."
After chatting and laughing for a while, the atmosphere became more relaxed and cheerful. Yan Xiaoqing described the situation in Tubo and Xixia in a clear and eloquent manner.
From the customs and habits of the two countries to strange stories, from the ordinary people of the two countries to the royal secrets, from the combat effectiveness of the army to the deployment of military forces, he told them in detail one by one. His big head was filled with a huge amount of intelligence.
Luo Li listened with great interest, occasionally interjecting to gossip about royal secrets and oddities.
Regent Zhao Defang asked several times in detail about the political situation and military deployment of Western Xia.
Luo Li looked at him in surprise. Zhao Defang smiled at the princess, "That's right. I don't want to fight Liao first. I want to seize Xixia first with lightning speed. After I have the horse breeding land and the majestic and numerous war horses, I will try to seize other regions."
"Your Majesty is wise!" Yan Xiaoyi's face flushed with excitement, "Western Xia has a small territory, and the country is unstable since its establishment. After Li Yuanhao unified the Tangut tribes, he controlled the trade in good horses, and the war horses we need are becoming increasingly difficult to buy.
"The Song Dynasty first seized the rebellious Western Xia, which would have guaranteed the precious war resources and war horses. It would then be easier to seize the vast Liao Kingdom."
Regent Zhao Defang nodded, "Yes, that's what I think. If we want to march north to the prairie of Liao, we can't do it without war horses.
After taking over Xixia, we will rest for a year or so, and then I will personally lead the army to bring Liao territory into the territory of the Song Dynasty!"
An imperial aura emanated from the Regent Zhao Defang. Yan Xiaoqing and Yun Yi looked at the prince with admiration and excitement, their hearts were filled with excitement!
Luo Li was also infected and her blood was boiling. The wheel of history was about to be reversed by Zhao Defang at a great angle.
Perhaps, there will really be a powerful Song Dynasty that is prosperous and strong, with a strong military, advanced technology, and a civilization that will be passed down through the ages. There will no longer be the tragic fate of being invaded and slaughtered by the blades of foreign cavalry and brutally massacred!
