He saw a young girl suddenly sprang up from the thicket and thrust her sword toward Wu Zhirong's chest.
Wu Zhirong turned his head to look; he saw a cold glint in front of his eyes; he was so scared that he pissed his pants. He was behind the main force, he did not know any martial art, the opponent's sword had been prepared for a long time, so it was difficult for him to escape. It's just that he was as timid as a mouse, after being frightened, his legs went soft, he could no longer stand steadily and rolled down the ladder in front of the Temple, coincidentally avoiding the young girl's sure-kill sword.
The young girl stabbed empty air, she could not help but stare blankly. Originally she wanted to kill him in one strike and then run away a thousand li away; who would have thought that she missed? If she did not retreat in time, perhaps even she would be in danger.
However, thinking of the Zhuang family's blood feud, she clenched her pearly white teeth and still brandished her sword in pursuit. She would rather perish together with Wu Zhirong than see him get away scot-free.
However, by this time the Imperial Bodyguards in the vicinity had already reacted; they surrounded her. Although the young girl's martial art skill was brilliant, the Imperial Bodyguards of the Jin and Qing, two Prime Ministers, were very formidable; very soon they were surrounded by danger.
By this time Song Qingshu had already seen the young girl's appearance clearly; he was startled; wasn't this Shuang 'er whom he had not seen for a long time? How did she come to Yangzhou? He was about to shout at his subordinates to stop, but Songgotu had already spoken first, "Don't hurt that girl, capture her alive!"
His voice had just fallen when the acupoints of the young girl's back were sealed by the Imperial Bodyguards, and then several steel sabers were placed directly on her neck.
Song Qingshu hesitated for a moment; Shuang 'er was under his control; unless he made a move in public, otherwise, he would not be able to let her go if he helped her in secret under the watchful eyes of the public. Moreover, listening to Songgotu's words just now, it was obvious that he still remembered his friendship with Wei Xiaobao in the past; Shuang' er would not be in any danger in his hands for the time being. That being the case, he decided to bide his time and wait until he returned to the yamen before looking for an opportunity to rescue her.
Songgotu coughed and ordered his Imperial Bodyguards, "Take this girl back, I want to interrogate her carefully, I want to know what kind of conspiracy she has, whether she has any other accomplices."
While saying that, he secretly signaled Shuang 'er with his eyes, telling her not to resist needlessly and hurt herself. By this time Shuang 'er also recognized Songgotu. She was exceptionally intelligent, naturally she understood that the other party did not have any evil intention, thereupon she nodded without showing any trace.
Although the small movements between the two of them were subtle, it could not be hidden from the eyes of observant people. Song Qingshu smiled faintly and felt relieved.
However, right now these people in Yangzhou's officialdom had strange expressions on their faces; they thought that the Jin Kingdom's Master caught a beautiful young lady and brought her back for 'interrogation', and our Great Qing's Master caught a beautiful young lady and also brought her back for 'interrogation'. Hey, hey, what are they trying to do? Do they think we are fools?
They only dared to think these words in their hearts. How could they dare to say a word? He didn't even dare to show the slightest expression on his face. He just very considerately offered to send the two of them back to the yamen.
Hugging these two beauties, he must be in a hurry to do something. Who would be so blind as to take up the time of these two lords?
Cheng Yaojia was arranged to sit in Song Qingshu's sedan chair, Shuang 'er was also arranged to sit in Songgotu's sedan chair. However, in the past Songgotu and Wei Xiaobao became sworn brothers, if the rumor reached Kangxi's ears, how could he dare to do this kind of melon field plum under melon field?
Originally he wanted Shuang 'er to stay in the sedan chair, while he rode the horse, but the opposite party's current identity was that of an assassin, it would be a bit too obvious. Therefore, Songgotu had no choice but to let the Imperial Bodyguards suppress Shuang' er and follow behind.
But Song Qingshu knitted his brows; how could he bear to see Shuang 'er suffer this kind of crime? Thereupon he opened his mouth and said, "This young lady looks so delicate and weak, it would be very difficult for people who do not know the truth to believe that she is an assassin. If by any chance the common people in the city see her, perhaps they would secretly accuse us of forcibly abducting a civilian girl; it would be hard to avoid damaging the imperial court's face. I think it would be better to do it this way, we'll specially free up a sedan chair, tie her up and lock her inside, this way she won't be seen by the common people in the city. "
Originally, Songgotu also had the same idea; hearing this, he was greatly delighted. "Xiongdi is really thoughtful, let's do it this way."
The Yangzhou officialdom looked at each other in dismay, they thought, are you treating a criminal or a young lady from a rich family? You are speaking in such a dignified manner, isn't it because you are afraid that the little beauty will be scorched by the sun? However, since the two imperial envoys had spoken, how could they oppose it? Very soon, there were even some officials who took the initiative to let Shuang 'er ride on their sedan chair.
Seeing Shuang 'er had been properly settled, Song Qingshu finally felt relieved; he stepped directly into his sedan chair.
Seeing the curtain was lifted, Miss Cheng's body trembled visibly. Trembling, she said, "Don't, don't come over."
Song Qingshu could not help laughing, "This is broad daylight, there are so many people outside, it's not like I can do anything to you."
Miss Cheng trembled even more violently; she weakly said, "Could it be that when there's no one around, you are going to conspire against me?"
Song Qingshu sat his buttocks down and laughed aloud. "That depends on your performance," he said.
Miss Cheng hastily moved her body sideways, as if being touched by him was a great sin. Unfortunately, the sedan chair was only so big; no matter how hard she tried, it would be difficult for her not to touch him.
"I … I don't want to sit." Miss Cheng blushed; she simply did not dare to look him in the eyes; she hastily stood up. Her acupoints were sealed, she could not use the 'zhen qi' in her body, but it did not affect her daily movements.
Who would have thought that at this moment, the sedan chair bearers happened to lift the sedan chair? Miss Cheng lost her balance and threw herself into Song Qingshu's bosom.
Song Qingshu smelled a fragrant wind assailing his nostrils; a warm and soft body fell directly into his bosom. Immediately he looked at her with a sigh, "Turns out you want to sit in my bosom. Why didn't you say so earlier? Why did you waste so much effort?"
Miss Cheng was so anxious that she was about to cry, "Nonsense, nonsense, I am not!"
Song Qingshu stretched out his arms and directly hugged her, "Since I am favored by a beauty, I won't be polite."
Miss Cheng cried out in alarm and hurriedly struggled, "Let me go!"
However, she was too weak to move. Seeing her eyes full of tears, Song Qingshu timely said, "Answer my question first, then I will consider letting you go."
Miss Cheng hurriedly said, "Then quickly ask."
Hearing her angry voice being so coquettish, Song Qingshu thought that such a woman was born to be spoiled by men. Any man who saw her coquettish and timid appearance would inevitably feel protective.
"What's your name?" Although he had roughly guessed her identity, he still needed to confirm it.
"My surname is Cheng." Miss Cheng lowered her head and whispered.
Song Qingshu had been waiting for her to continue, but who knew that she would only say her surname. He could not help but feel depressed, "What's your name?"
Miss Cheng shook her head. After being asked several times, she finally whispered, "According to the rules of our Han people, a woman's name can only be known by her parents and her husband."
