Chapter 55: Bitter Love Triangle
"He himself really has no grudge against me," the woman's expression became cold, "It's just that the Manchu Qing Dynasty has a common enmity with me, he is Kangxi's right-hand man, and he takes bribes and takes power on weekdays, even if he is killed by me, he is to blame." ”
The woman secretly added in her heart, she received someone's invitation, this is probably the most difficult time to help 'him' before she leaves, and the two of them will be separated from each other in the future, and it is estimated that there will be no time to see each other again.
"A young and beautiful woman who has a grudge against the Manchu Qing Dynasty?" Song Qingshu kept filtering the characters of the original book in his heart, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his heart, and he bowed slightly, "The girl is the former Ming Changping princess Ah Jiu girl?"
Zhu Yujiao's eyebrows tightened, and she looked at Song Qingshu vigilantly: "Who is Your Excellency, and why do you know my identity?"
Song Qingshu glanced at the beautiful woman in front of him faintly, his eyes were full of pity, Ah Jiu was an extremely tragic character in the original book. Born in the family of the last emperor, the country was ruined, his arm was cut off by his biological father, and he loved Yuan Chengzhi wholeheartedly, but it is a pity that he had already made a mandarin alliance with Xia Qingqing, and after Chaoyang Peak, he agreed with Yuan Chengzhi to wait for him in the snow valley on the Tibetan border for ten years.
Everyone knows the ending, for ten years, whether it was because of Xia Qingqing or not, Yuan Chengzhi never went to her anyway......
Zhu Yujiao felt that Song Qingshu's eyes were full of emotion when she looked at her, and she was extremely uncomfortable for a while, and coughed lightly.
Song Qingshu came back to his senses and smiled awkwardly: "Ah Jiu girl, don't be suspicious, I have always been more familiar with martial arts anecdotes, so I can guess your identity." ”
"Haven't you asked Your Excellency about your surname?" Zhu Yujiao felt that everything about her background was clearly understood by the other party, but she didn't know anything about him, so she couldn't help asking.
"Under Song Qingshu," Song Qingshu bowed slightly, and asked the doubts in his heart, "It is true that Miss Ah Jiu and the Manchu Qing have a national enemy and family hatred, but now at the risk of war between the Song and Qing dynasties, they assassinate the Qing court envoys in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, I don't know if there is any bitterness in Lu Dao?"
Zhu Yujiao heard his dissatisfaction with his behavior in his words, thinking that he was a citizen of the Song Kingdom, and couldn't help but explain: "Song Gongzi misunderstood, Ah Jiu was in a hurry and lacked consideration before, but he didn't expect that it might cause Song and Qing to start a war...... It's just that a few days ago, I accidentally found out that Wei Xiaobao's envoy was secondary, and the main purpose was actually to deal with the Shandong Golden Snake Battalion, I was worried...... I was worried that the last banner of rebellion against the Manchus would also fall, so I planned to assassinate Wei Xiaobao and draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle......"
"Ah Jiu girl, I'm afraid it's for Yuan Chengzhi, the leader of the Golden Snake Camp now. Song Qingshu looked at her with a smile, but he was embarrassed in his heart, although he had never seen Xia Qingqing, he expected that his talent and appearance would definitely not be as good as Ah Jiu, how much determination did Yuan Chengzhi have to make if he finally gave up Ah Jiu...... However, this is a misfortune for Ah Jiu, but for other men, it is a great luck.
was poked by him in his daughter's family's mind, Ah Jiu was shy and felt a little embarrassed at the same time, after all, she was a loser in her relationship with Yuan Chengzhi and Xia Qingqing.
"I've done my best, and the rest depends on Brother Yuan's creation. Zhu Yujiao smiled abruptly, raised her head and said to Song Qingshu: "Thank you for the mercy of Song Gongzi's subordinates today, Ah Jiu has important things to do, and he needs to rush to the Western Regions as soon as possible. ”
"After ...... There will be a period later. Song Qingshu didn't know what other reasons there was to keep her, so he could only reluctantly watch her fluttering figure slowly disappear into the night sky.
All the way back to Yuhua Pavilion, Wei Xiaobao saw that Song Qingshu came back alone, knowing that the assassin had not been caught, but he did not show any dissatisfaction, but instead asked for warmth with concern, and took the opportunity to give him the stairs: "That mother-in-law is strong in martial arts and scheming, where is Brother Song injured?"
Song Qingshu prevaricated casually: "I'm sorry Brother Wei, my brother missed and didn't catch the assassin for a while." ”
Wei Xiaobao's face was strange, thinking that your martial arts skills are obviously higher than that woman, and you won't get carried away, so let her go secretly.
Noticing Wei Xiaobao's expression, Song Qingshu knew that he had an eight-sided exquisite heart, and ordinary lies might not be able to deceive him, so he had to half-truthfully say: "Originally, I had already restrained the assassin, but unfortunately suddenly jumped out of the black-clothed masked man and left the assassin." The internal strength of the person is exquisite, and the swordsmanship is both strange and clever, by the way, looking at his martial arts and weapons, he should be the famous 'Golden Snake King' Yuan Chengzhi in the rivers and lakes. ”
"Yuan Chengzhi?" Wei Xiaobao gasped, he had already believed eight points in his heart, and secretly thought that he was secretly dealing with the Golden Snake Camp under the secret order of the little emperor, could it be that he had leaked the news?
"What about Yuan Chengzhi's martial arts compared to Brother Song?" This is Wei Xiaobao's biggest concern, the reason why Kangxi and he are so eager to recruit masters in the rivers and lakes is to deal with Yuan Chengzhi, who is strong in martial arts.
"What, Brother Wei wants to deal with Yuan Chengzhi?" Song Qingshu was not in a hurry to answer, but looked at him curiously.
Wei Xiaobao thought that he would have to rely on him to deal with Yuan Chengzhi anyway, and sooner or later he would have to know about this matter, so he led Song Qingshu into the house and whispered Kangxi's secret order to him.
"Hey, Brother Song, you and I have become brothers, the so-called blessings and hardships are the same, and I won't hide it from you," Wei Xiaobao deliberately sighed a few times, looking from the bottom of his heart, "After I helped the emperor eradicate Aobai that day, I thought that the emperor would be able to sit back and relax, but I didn't know that the emperor was still frowning all day long, once I had the courage to ask him what was going on with the old man, only to know that the emperor's four henchmen were in trouble." ”
Wei Xiaobao paused after speaking, and deliberately asked, "Brother Song, do you know which four of Emperor Ludao's henchmen are in serious trouble?"
"The Manchus are now at a stalemate with Mongolia, and Mongolia should be one of them. Song Qingshu only thought of this one.
"Brother Song is really knowledgeable," Wei Xiaobao gave a thumbs up, and continued, "But Mongolia is an external trouble after all, and the other three are all internal troubles. One is Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi stationed at Shanhaiguan, capricious, the emperor has been worried that he will give Shanhaiguan to Mongolia like he betrayed the Ming Dynasty back then, but he now has more than 100,000 elite soldiers, including 10,000 of the most elite cavalry troops in the world today - Guanning Iron Cavalry, the emperor can't move him for a while. ”
"Another trouble is Prince Shengjingbao Hongli, when the first emperor abdicated, he and today's saint is the most qualified prince to be the great treasure, the most after the help of the queen mother, the emperor became the true son of heaven, but Prince Bao has always coveted the throne, never died. He now has hundreds of thousands of Eight Banner soldiers, and the son Fukangan is also a man who can fight well, and the father and son have fought with the Mongolian army on the front line of Liaodong for many years, and their prestige in the army is very high, what is the emperor afraid of himself...... Fall on the Great Wall, so you can't do anything to him. ”
"This world is really chaotic, Qianlong actually became brothers with Kangxi, and the situation was surging in order to compete for the throne......" Song Qingshu was scorched by thunder, but he hadn't seen anything abnormal during this time? He quickly accepted all this, and took over the conversation and said:
"The third plague must be the Golden Snake Battalion in Shandong, although under the leadership of Yuan Chengzhi, the Shandong Righteous Army is also powerful, but the emperor definitely did not have those concerns about Wu Sangui and Hongli, so he chose to be the first to deal with him. ”
"Not bad!" Wei Xiaobao nodded, "The emperor has been trying to clear the rebels in Shandong for many years, but unfortunately as soon as the officers and soldiers arrived, they all shrank into the vast mountains, and as soon as the officers and soldiers retreated, they all came out like stones in a pit." ”
Wei Xiaobao took a cup of tea and moistened his throat, and continued: "His grandfather's is really worse than Mother Yang in Lichun Courtyard! Yuan Chengzhi even seized the opportunity to severely damage the imperial court counterinsurgency army several times, making the rebels even more arrogant. Then the emperor gave up the encirclement and suppression of the army and considered using the methods in the rivers and lakes to deal with Yuan Chengzhi. ”
"It's a pity that Yuan Chengzhi is also the head of the Huashan faction, the head of the two families of the Golden Snake Langjun, and his martial arts are rare in the world, so Brother Wei and the emperor are so eager to recruit masters in the rivers and lakes. Song Qingshu added.
"Hehe, you can't hide anything from Brother Song," Wei Xiaobao smiled, "I don't know what the result was when Brother Song and Yuan Chengzhi fought just now?"
Song Qingshu had fought with Yuan Chengzhi, and he could only roughly evaluate Yuan Chengzhi's martial arts from the original book and Ah Jiu, and said lightly: "It's a draw." Knowing that Yuan Chengzhi's martial arts are higher, Wei Xiaobao will look down on himself, saying that his martial arts are higher, and he can't explain the fact that Ah Jiu was rescued, so he had to give a mediocre answer.
Wei Xiaobao was overjoyed and said: "Yes, yes, with Brother Song, a master who can match Yuan Chengzhi, brother and I are enough to give an account to Xiao Xuanzi." ”
Song Qingshu was moved in his heart, and took the opportunity to persuade: "Brother Wei, although my brother's martial arts are similar to Yuan Chengzhi's, but now that the news that you want to deal with him has leaked, you will inevitably pass through the Shandong border on the way back to Beijing, plus those people from the Blood Knife Gate, I am afraid that my brother will be invincible with two fists and four hands, and I will not be able to protect my brother's safety." ”
Wei Xiaobao was shocked in his heart, and his face was frightened: "It's over, this time it is clear that the dealer will kill him, is there only the only way to call the army to escort him, but in this way, it is destined to startle the damn snake, Xiao Xuanzi will definitely be unhappy......"
Song Qingshu saw that the time was almost up, and pretended to hesitate and said, "I have a plan, I don't know if it will work." ”
"Brother Song, come and listen. Wei Xiaobao's eyes lit up and he looked at him expectantly.
"Brother Wei can let Zhang Zhao and the others make a big show and escort the envoy team north to attract the enemy's attention, and the two of us will go south to ......"
Before Song Qingshu finished speaking, Wei Xiaobao interrupted him and asked, "Why do you want to go south?" Wei Xiaobao thought in his heart: What kind of fetus is this little white face hiding?
With a faint smile, Song Qingshu was not in a hurry, and slowly explained: "During this time, there is a peerless master in Gusu, if you can say that he will take refuge in the Qing Dynasty, with the two of us by your side, you can also go to the sword mountain and the sea of fire, let alone what Shandong Golden Snake Camp?"
"How is his martial arts compared to Brother Song?" Wei Xiaobao asked half-incredulously.
"It's more than that. Song Qingshu said categorically.
Wei Xiaobao couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart, if he could find such two masters who were several floors tall to return to the palace, Xiao Xuanzi would definitely want to be happy, and maybe I would be rewarded with an earl and duke to play with when the time came...... Thinking of the beauty, Wei Xiaobao couldn't help but giggle.
