Chapter 127: Where is the desolation
"Why?" Song Qingshu quickly reacted, pursed his lips, and said casually, "It's not that I haven't read it." Although he said this, Song Qingshu still turned his back, although this place was secret, it was difficult to guarantee that no one would pass by, and he was not willing to argue with Luo Bing for a long time.
Seeing him turn around, Luo Bing hurriedly shrank in the corner of the wall and hurriedly changed into a guard uniform, "Okay." â
Song Qingshu looked back and saw that the dignified little young woman with a hint of demonic aura was gone, replaced by a guard with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes standing in front of her.
"It's just too white," Song Qingshu frowned and said dissatisfied, "Remember to keep your head down when you follow me later." â
Luo Bing hummed inaudibly, and Song Qingshu took her swaggering into the Sifang Pavilion.
When he came to his bedroom, he said, "You are dressed as a man, I can't let you sleep with the other guards, but you will share a room with me before you tell me where to put the evidence." â
"What?" Luo Bing suddenly grabbed it from the chair and said resolutely, "Absolutely not!"
Song Qingshu ignored her: "Is this up to you? If you don't want to live, you can go out from this door and see who can help you save your husband and the people of the Red Flower Society." Hey, really speaking, whether you can run out of Shengjing City yourself is two words. â
Luo Bing's face was cloudy, and he raised his steps several times, but finally sat down: "Okay, but you are not allowed to be rude to me." â
Song Qingshu glanced at Luo Bing strangely, thinking that it was no wonder that safflower would be difficult to form a climate, which could be seen from Luo Bing. Seeing that she is also in her twenties, she is still as innocent as a little girl.
However, he didn't bother to continue to stimulate her again, so he made a few perfunctory noises casually.
"Tell your lord, Zhang Kangnian, Zhao Qixian, they brought people back. Outside the house, a guard's voice rang out.
"Ask them to come in. Song Qingshu took a cup of tea and drank it, but Luo Bing was restless on the side.
"Stand aside. Song Qingshu glanced at her, she was dressed as a guard, how could there be any reason to sit at the same table with her boss, Luo Bing's face turned pale, but she still stood up and stood in the corner, bowing her head and silently.
"Who is this?" Zhang Zhao
As soon as the two entered the door and were about to speak, they suddenly noticed Luo Bing in the corner and immediately stopped talking.
"It's okay, my own people. Song Qingshu didn't explain much, in this era, it is normal for the boss to have secrets, if everything has to be explained to the subordinates, it is even more suspicious, "How about it, did you find any news?"
Zhang Zhao and the others immediately made bitter faces: "We went to drink on an errand here in Lashengjing, and intentionally or unintentionally found out that Tian Guinong has indeed disappeared recently, and as for where he was imprisoned, I really can't find out." â
"Doesn't that mean that you haven't found any news?" Song Qingshu said speechlessly.
"Let's go and investigate. Zhang Zhao and the others hurriedly said.
"No, I've found it out. Song Qingshu snorted coldly.
"So many of us have been looking around, but we haven't gotten any useful information, and the adults went out to a banquet and found out, and they were really smart!" Zhang Kangnian and Zhao Qixian glanced at each other and gave a thumbs up.
"It's disgusting. Luo Bing, who was on the side, saw the flattering appearance of the two of them, and muttered in a low voice.
Zhang Zhao and the others were not strong enough to hear her words clearly, but Song Qingshu heard it clearly, turned his head and glared at her, signaling him not to talk too much.
"By the way, Lord Song, the issue of determining the reward list of the imperial court and the amount of money, the officials of Shengjing have been waiting for the lord to give him an idea. Zhao Qixian said cautiously.
"Let them wait for a while, and when the envoy arrives, someone will naturally consult with them. Song Qingshu waved his hand impatiently on the surface, but he was thinking in his heart: If he can stay in Shengjing City justifiably before, he must hurry up and finish what needs to be done......
"Yes. Zhao Qixian's face was happy, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Song Qingshu's deliberate delay in official business. As the entourage of the minister, Zhao Qixian and others are also the objects of the middle and lower-level officials in Shengjing City, and their level is not enough to contact the minister, so they naturally start with the people around the minister, and Zhao Qixian and others are naturally willing to stay in Shengjing for as long as possible.
"It's rare to be quiet for a while. Song Qingshu stretched and sighed. Yesterday, after the banquet in the palace, other civil and military officials in Shengjing City have also sent posts to invite him to the banquet, he only asked his subordinates to arrange the schedule, most of them pushed or sent his subordinates to express it, but there are a few people who still need him to go in person, such as the governor of Liaodong, the governor, and the admiral, these three people must see, they are the storage zĂ i of the prince of Liaodong placed by the imperial court in Liaodong, and Kangxi also specially instructed to comfort these people more before leaving.
At this time, there was still a period of time before the dinner, Song Qingshu sat up cross-legged on the bed and began to practice qi, and Luo Bing secretly admired: Although this man is a little hateful, he is diligent in practicing all the time, no wonder his martial arts are so high.
Song Qingshu opened his eyes with feeling, and when he saw Luo Bing suddenly looking away, he didn't feel a little funny, and beckoned, "Come here." â
"What are you doing?" Luo Bing glanced at him warily.
"Practice with me. Song Qingshu Zhengse said, he understood that there was not much time left for him, and he had to hurry up to improve his skills, not only for Sheng Jing this time, but also for something in the future.
"How can I accompany him?" Luo Bing looked at him in amazement.
"You'll find out when you come here. A smile appeared at the corner of Song Qingshu's lips.
"I don't!" Sensing the strangeness in his smile, Luo Bing subconsciously refused.
"If you want to rescue your husband, it's better to expect me to practice martial arts a little higher, otherwise there will be a mistake at that time, and you won't have time to cry. Song Qingshu was not in a hurry, and looked at her lightly.
"How much can you improve your skills in such a short period of time?" Luo Binghu looked at him suspiciously.
"The exercises I practice are a bit different, and the level of skill does not depend on time to accumulate. Song Qingshu replied.
Seeing that Luo Bing didn't believe it, Song Qingshu smiled and said, "What do you think of my martial arts?"
Although he didn't want to admit it, Luo Bing nodded unwillingly: "Very good." â
"You people in the Red Flower Society can be diligent in their practice?" Song Qingshu continued to ask.
"In order to oppose the great cause of the Qing Dynasty, of course, the brothers in the association practiced hard. Luo Bing gritted his teeth and replied.
"You see that I am younger than you, but my martial arts are much higher than yours, do you still think that I rely on time to increase my skills?" Song Qingshu spread his hands.
Luo Bing felt that what he said made some sense, hesitated for a while, but moved to the side of the bed step by step, and whispered: "Then how do you want me to cooperate with you in practice?"
"Take off your clothes first. Song Qingshu said as usual.
"What! are you fooling me?" Luo Bing was furious, and was about to turn around and leave, but Song Qingshu's hand suddenly stretched out, grabbed her and pulled her to the bed, Luo Bing suddenly lost his balance and fell into his arms.
"I just want to trick you, and now I know?" Song Qingshu looked at the woman in his arms and said proudly.
"Let go of me!" Luo Bing struggled hard, but his whole body was still firmly controlled by Song Qingshu.
"Don't pretend to be a chaste martyr with me, anyway, we have already acted as husband and wife," a trace of anger flashed in Song Qingshu's eyes, "The last time you instigated Qingqing, I should settle accounts with you now." I took off this guard uniform first, and I looked unappetizing. After saying that, he stripped Luo Bing of the clothes of the big inner guard.
"It's not that you failed to assassinate our Red Flower Society last time, and I did that in a moment of anger. Knowing that it was useless, Luo Bing still explained.
"Then I can also say that once you succeed in assassination, I will also face the catastrophe of raiding my family and exterminating my clan. Song Qingshu added in his heart, but unfortunately I am the only one in the family, "You have a reason to do this, but it's a pity that what you did hurt me and hindered my plan, I will naturally stop it, but you can't beat me, who is to blame for this?"
"You are a fallacy, is it true that whoever has a big fist represents the truth?" Luo Bing said angrily.
"Isn't it?" Song Qingshu asked rhetorically.
Luo Bing was stunned by the question, thinking of the current troubled times, he suddenly found that there was no way to refute, "Although a person with a big fist can win a temporary victory, it is difficult to block the mouth of the people in the world." Luo Bing finally thought of a reason to refute.
"The mouth of the people of the world?" Song Qingshu seemed to be enraged, stopped his evil hands, and snorted coldly, "Temujin fought and slaughtered the city and exterminated the clan at every turn, how could he have cared about the mouth of Youyou, when the soldiers came to the city, those who criticized him either fled or surrendered the city, what is the use of the mouth of Youyou." Not to mention what history has its own public opinion, the Mongol conquest of the world, resulting in thousands of miles of white bones in the Central Plains, the Western Regions is deserted, thousands of years later, is not a sentence to promote national integration, Sino-Western exchanges are brushed aside? Hehe, at the beginning, the countries of the Western Regions could not see a single figure for thousands of miles, I would like to know how China and the West communicate....... Luo Bing, do you know why the Mongolian army is invincible?"
Although Luo Bing felt that it was too ridiculous for the two of them to discuss these things in such a posture, he still replied: "The Mongolian cavalry comes and goes like the wind, and the skill of riding and archery is unparalleled in the world, so it is powerful in the world. â
"A good one comes and goes like the wind," Song Qingshu said in a deep voice, "In ancient warfare, mobility is king, and the reason why the Mongol army can come and go like the wind is not entirely because they are all cavalry, but more importantly, they never need logistics to fight, and the military rations they need are directly grabbed from the opponent's people." When the Central Plains regime fights a war and dispatches 100,000 troops, it often needs to mobilize nearly one million logistical personnel. â
"The Mongols will kill themselves if they do too much injustice, and they will inevitably provoke the desperate resistance of those people when they take food from the people, and I don't think it is a clever means. Luo Bing has also read some history books, so he naturally knows how unwise it is to provoke a popular uprising.
"Indeed, as you said, from ancient times to the present, no matter what period of the army does not dare to rob grain so unscrupulously, it must always worry about causing a lot of complaints and rebels. However, the Mongols were much more ruthless than them, and after grabbing the grain, they slaughtered the city directly, so naturally there would be no complaints, and the situation of the rebel army appearing in all directions. There was a chill in Song Qingshu's voice. After the Mengjin War in history, the Song Dynasty army entered Luoyang, a once prosperous metropolis, and there were only a few hundred families left in the entire city, which was so desolate and miserable.
