Chapter 106: Two Secret Departments
"Qingqing?" Hearing the word Qingqing, and then linking the meaning of this word, Song Qingshu didn't understand who the person who was blowing the flute, so he quickly changed his direction and walked towards the lake.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Song Qingshu to see Xia Qingqing sitting on a plain seat, leaning under a big tree, her long skirt blowing the ground, her clothes fluttering in the wind, a small white flower inserted in her sideburns, and endless sorrow between her eyebrows.
"Women want to be pretty, filial piety", the snow-white Xia Qingqing is like a fairy out of the dust, I don't know if it is the rising sun, or her cheeks are flushed, but when she sees half of her pretty face, she is really glamorous.
"Mrs. Yuan. There were outsiders present, Song Qingshu inevitably ruined his reputation, and he didn't dare to make too many mistakes, so he shouted from afar.
Hearing his voice, Xia Qingqing turned around in surprise, and when she saw the beautiful girl behind Song Qingshu, her face couldn't help but change slightly, but she quickly covered it up: "I've finally waited for you." ”
Li Yuanzhi looked at the delicate young woman opposite, and then looked back at Song Qingshu, her expression was extremely strange, and she thought in her heart: "This young woman is dressed in filial piety, listening to the meaning of her song just now, she should miss her husband who just died." But the look and tone of the two just now were clear...... There is clearly such a leg. ”
Song Qingshu didn't know that Li Yuanzhi had already regarded the two of them as adulterers and adulteresses, and hurriedly looked at Xia Qingqing and asked, "Mrs. Yuan, did you stop Gui Xinshu and his wife?"
Xia Qingqing shook his head: "I traveled day and night, and finally found them before they started, and finally delayed them for a few days, but yesterday I don't know what Lu Dao was for, they suddenly decided to enter the palace to assassinate Kangxi, my martial arts are not as high as them, and I can't stop them if I want to." Thinking that you are almost there in the next few days, I decided to stay here and wait for you to see if you can find a way to save them. ”
Song Qingshu hated the Xin Shu couple in the original book, was extremely narrow-minded, and was the best at protecting the short, and later killed Wu Liuqi in the Lu Ding Ji, so the two Song Qingshu were really too lazy to save, but now Xia Qingqing begged softly, Song Qingshu was soft-hearted for a while, and asked, "When did they enter the palace yesterday?"
"Last night, it seems that they kidnapped your lord's friend and forced him to bring a family of three into the palace. Xia Qingqing replied, "I'm worried that Wei Xiaobao will see your appearance clearly after appearing, and I will hurt you afterwards, so I have been hiding in the shadows." ”
"Wei Xiaobao is clever, he must take them around the palace, it should be too late now, let's enter the palace together and see if we can stop them in advance." Song Qingshu thought in his heart, according to the original plot, the three members of Gui Xinshu's family were sold by Wei Xiaobao and were still counting the money for him.
How do you know that Xia Qingqing hesitated: "Take me into the palace, aren't you afraid of being bumped into by Dongfang Undefeated?"
Song Qingshu smiled indifferently: "Don't worry, the big war is coming, Dongfang Undefeated must be in retreat to recuperate, and before the full moon night, he will slowly adjust his state to the peak, how can he take care of these trivial matters." ”
Xia Qingqing nodded his head, and suddenly turned his head to stare at Li Yuanzhi: "Then what should she do?" The two of them mentioned such a big event as assassinating the emperor, Li Yuanzhi listened in horror on the side, thinking that Song Qingshu was a guard in the inner house, but he didn't know that he actually had dealings with these thieves, seeing the two of them staring back at him, Li Yuanzhi smiled embarrassedly: "You guys are busy, don't worry about me." Seeing that this quirky girl was scared enough, Song Qingshu smiled, "Then what's the matter, I heard that we were plotting, and you are a young lady of the official family, how could I let you go......"
Li Yuanzhi retreated and explained in a panic: "Brother Song, everyone is so familiar, don't joke, I promise to keep my mouth shut about today's events...... Don't come here, are you the Heaven and Earth Society or the Red Flower Society, I am very familiar with a few masters of the Red Flower Society, and I also know the people of the Heaven and Earth Society...... Woo, don't kill me. ”
Song Qingshu seemed to smile: "You are an official lady, and you are entangled with these anti-Qing and Ming restoration organizations, aren't you afraid that I will report you?"
"Aren't you too......" Li Yuanzhi muttered.
"Don't worry, I won't kill you, I just need you to enter the palace with us. I promised your father to bring you to the capital, I don't dare to let you go alone in the capital, if you are taken by a gentleman disciple and snatched back to the mansion as a concubine, your father will not have to find me desperately. Song Qingshu said.
Li Yuanzhi was secretly proud in her heart: Hmph, men are so easy to deceive, Miss Ben pretended to be pitiful and passed the test......
"Mrs. Yuan, are the guards ready?" Song Qingshu asked.
"Ready. Xia Qingqing took Li Yuanzhi's hand and said, "This girl, please go into the house with me and change into the clothes of the Ouchi guard." ”
After a while, the two girls walked out, Song Qingshu's eyes lit up, and he praised in his mouth: "Petite and exquisite, with soft skin, if you are going to be thrown into the barracks, such a handsome and lovely little soldier will definitely be swallowed to the scum." ”
Xia Qingqing has long been familiar with Song Qingshu's speaking style, and it is not strange that Li Yuanzhi is a little girl, but she is red-faced when she listens to it, and she only feels that the other party's speech is too bold and explicit.
When he came to the palace gate, seeing that the guards had solemn faces, Song Qingshu stepped forward and asked, "What happened in the palace?"
"It turned out to be Lord Song, and I heard that there were three assassins with strong martial arts in the palace, and the chief manager ordered everyone to strictly guard their posts. A guard checked the waist card and whispered, suddenly looked at the two behind Song Qingshu suspiciously, and asked suspiciously, "These two brothers are tight, which shift are they on?"
Song Qingshu replied casually: "It was for me to recruit young masters in various sects for the emperor to enrich the guard team. "In this era, no one dares to falsely spread the emperor's dictation, once discovered, it is definitely a great crime to punish the nine clans. However, Song Qingshu, as a traverser, is alone, and he is not so in awe of the imperial power, thinking that it is impossible for the other party to confront Kangxi, so he has any scruples, so he will come as soon as he opens his mouth.
The guards really looked nervous, and they didn't dare to interrogate more, so they put the three of them into the palace gate.
"Brother Song, listening to what they said, Senior Brother, it seems that they have been discovered. Although Xia Qingqing has always disliked these two arrogant brothers and sisters-in-law, she was still quite anxious when she thought that the other party had broken into the deep palace in order to avenge her husband.
The entire Forbidden City was too big, and Song Qingshu didn't know where to rescue for a while, so he hesitated for a moment, pulled over a passing guard and asked, "Where is the assassin now?"
The other party saw that it was Song Qingshu, a famous master in the palace, and hurriedly said: "Lord Hui, Lord Song, I heard that the assassin has been caught, and he is being escorted to the imperial study by the chief manager, and the emperor will personally interrogate him." ”
Song Qingshu recalled that in the original book, Gui Xinshu was lost in the palace and could not find any trace of the emperor, so he pretended to be captured, and when he was brought to the emperor, he suddenly broke out.
"At this time, I really can't let Kangxi die. Song Qingshu was anxious, he had done so much political speculation, but he didn't want to fall short.
Song Qingshu hurriedly went straight to the imperial study, just ran out of a few zhang, turned around and saw the two girls standing in place, hurriedly ran back, helped the shoulders of the two girls, and ran to the imperial study.
With such close physical contact with Song Qingshu, Xia Qingqing was fine, but Li Yuanzhi was quite uncomfortable, but she also knew that the time was urgent, so she had to bite her red lips and endure it.
Hearing the sound of the intersection of swords in the imperial study from a long distance, Song Qingshu was in a hurry, quickened his pace, and as soon as the three of them arrived at the door of the imperial study, they saw that the three members of Gui Xinshu's family were hacked to death with knives.
"Ah!" Xia Qingqing exclaimed, almost about to fall, but fortunately, Li Yuanzhi was quick and helped her up.
Hearing the shout, Kangxi raised his head and found that it was Song Qingshu, and said in shock: "It turns out that Song Shaoxia is back, if you had arrived earlier, these three assassins would not have been so arrogant." ”
"Song was late to save the car, and he hoped that the emperor would forgive him. Song Qingshu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly confessed.
Duolong and the others knelt on the ground, dripping in cold sweat: "The ministers and others are not effective in escorting, which makes the emperor frightened." ”
"That's it, this time, thanks to Xiaobao blocking their knives with his body, drag them down, Xiaobao Qingshu stays, and everyone else is gone. Kangxi waved his hand.
Seeing that the corpses of the Gui Xinshu family were taken out like dead dogs, Xia Qingqing's mouth trembled, and her eyes glanced at Kangxi with hatred, Song Qingshu hurriedly patted her hands and whispered: "I will take their bodies back, believe me, you go outside and wait for me first." After speaking, he put his finger on her body a little, restraining the true qi of her whole body, and seeing the other party glaring at him, Song Qingshu passed the voice into the secret: "I'm afraid that you will do something stupid...... Miss Li, take good care of her. ”
Li Yuanzhi nodded, and helped Xia Qingqing walk out.
"His grandfather's, when Lao Tzu's palace is a public toilet, you can come if you want, and you can leave if you want!" Seeing that everyone had left, Kangxi scolded.
"Your Majesty, it's okay to scold it. Wei Xiaobao patted Kangxi's back and handed him a cup of tea.
"Don't drink!" Kangxi pushed away the teacup in front of him, turned his head to look at Song Qingshu and asked, "How about your trip to the various sects?"
Song Qingshu saw Kangxi scolding in front of him, not only was he not afraid, but he was full of relief, it seemed that the other party regarded him as his own, and hurriedly replied: "When the heads of various sects heard that their nephews had the opportunity to be imperial guards, not only did they not resist, but they were also overjoyed, and they couldn't wait to get a few more places." ”
Kangxi's face improved at this time, and he said: "Most of the imperial guards in the palace are meritorious children of the Eight Banners, and their martial arts are really not on the table. The last time I sent them to escort Xiaobao, and this assassination incident, I finally understood that they were really vulnerable to real masters. ”
Song Qingshu replied: "Most of the imperial guards are from banner people, and their martial arts are more focused on killing enemies on the battlefield, and it is indeed a little uncomfortable to deal with people in the rivers and lakes. ”
"That's right," Kangxi stood up, "so I decided to let Duolong choose the best martial artists among the imperial guards and set up a secret department called 'Blood Drops', which is responsible for dealing with this group of outlaws." ”
"Blood drops?" Song Qingshu was shocked at the time.
"Qingshu, you are so good at martial arts, it's too wasteful to be idle, I decided to let you train the batch of disciples recruited from various sects to set up another secret department, what is the name, um," Kangxi pondered for a long time, and said: "Let's call it the sticky pole, on the surface, it is responsible for catching cicadas in the palace, but in fact, it helps me monitor the dynamics of the rivers and lakes!"
