"You're going to kill Wu Zhirong like this?" Shuang'er looked at Song Qingshu in shock.
"Of course," Song Qingshu gently wiped the trace of blood from the corner of her mouth, "He offended my Shuang'er, how can I let him live freely and happily?"
Seeing the thing in his hand, Shuang'er's face immediately turned white: "But right now Yangzhou is still under the rule of the Manchurian Qing, if we kill him like this, I'm afraid it will bring endless trouble to Song Dage."
"Don't worry, I have a way to deal with it." Song Qingshu said with confidence.
Seeing his confident look, Shuang'er's eyes couldn't help but brighten. Which woman wouldn't like her lover to be high-spirited? "Okay, I believe Song Dage."
Holding Shuang'er's hand, Song Qingshu quietly walked out of the Dao Tai yamen. Shuang'er looked at him with admiration: "Song Dage, your martial art skill has improved a lot. The Dao Tai yamen's security is so tight, yet you are able to enter unguarded territory with just one person. "
"Shuang'er, if you want to learn, I can teach you." Song Qingshu looked at her tenderly.
Shuang'er shook her head: "En, en, I don't want to. In the past, I learned martial art to avenge the Zhuang family, but now Song Dage will avenge me and protect me from being bullied, why would I want to learn martial art? In the end, a girl wielding a saber and a spear is still not elegant. "
"That's true," Song QingShu raised her small hands to his eyes, "Such a white and delicate pair of small hands, if calluses form because of practicing martial arts, it would be too much of a waste of God's gift."
"Song Dage ~" Shuang'er hastily withdrew her hand, but her heart was filled with sweetness.
Looking at her extremely bashful appearance, Song Qingshu's heart itched, but in the end, he still had to take care of business: "Good Shuang'er, I just arrived in Yangzhou, I don't know where Wu Zhirong's mansion is, you should know, right?"
"I can't wait to tear that dog thief's corpse into ten thousand pieces. Naturally, I've investigated the location of his mansion. Big Brother Song, come with me." Shuang 'er led Song Qingshu. Just like that, the two of them flirted all the way to Wu Zhirong's mansion.
Wu Zhirong was merely a prefectural magistrate of Yangzhou. Naturally, the guards in his mansion were far from being able to compare with the imperial envoy's field office. They could stop ordinary thieves, but how could they stop a true master?
Soon, the two of them were standing in front of Wu Zhirong's bed. Looking at the man sleeping soundly before her, Shuang'er pulled out her short sword and wanted to stab him. However, she was stopped by Song Qingshu. "Killing him with one stab would be too easy on him."
Shuang 'er was startled. "Then how should we take revenge?"
Song Qingshu smiled and said, "Didn't I promise you that I will bring him back to the Zhuang Family? At that time, I will hand him over to the Zhuang Family's Third Young Mistress."
Shuang'er nodded. "That's right. Third Young Mistress is the most suitable person to end this hatred."
The two of them were so presumptuously discussing how to deal with Wuji. Even if Wu Zhirong was sleeping like a pig, he would still wake up with a start.
"Who are you?" Having just woken up from a deep sleep, Wu Zhirong was still a bit dazed. However, when he saw Shuang'er's appearance, his drowsiness immediately disappeared.
"You … you …" How could he not be able to control himself? Was this the female assassin who wanted to kill him before? However, what he could not understand was that this woman had clearly been captured by Lord Suo. How could she suddenly appear here?
His mind only hesitated for a moment before Wu Zhirong realized that the two of them had come with ill intentions. He hurriedly opened his mouth and shouted, "Come …"
Unfortunately, before the word "come" could leave his mouth, his mute acupoint was already sealed by Song Qingshu.
"Who are we?" Song Qingshu laughed lightly. "We are people who have come to take your life."
Shuang'er went forward and slapped him twice. "I will let you live for a few more days, you dog thief. Then, the Third Young Mistress will deal with you."
"It's rare to see Shuang'er so angry." Song Qingshu said with a smile as he tied up Wu Zhirong and stuffed him into a sack that he had prepared earlier.
Shuang'er's face turned slightly red. "I'm not usually so fierce. It's just that this dog thief is really too hateful."
Song Qingshu laughed. "Of course I know that. Our Shuang'er is the most gentle and kind person in the world."
Shuang'er was touched. She looked at him with a burning gaze. "Thank you, Brother Song."
Song Qingshu knew that she was referring to the matter of Wu Zhirong. He could not help but rub her head. "It was nothing. You don't have to thank me over and over again."
Shuang'er shook her head. "It was nothing to Brother Song, but to the entire Zhuang Family, it was like giving them a new lease of life. Now that we have caught this dog thief, I want to immediately set off for Jiaxing and hand him over to the Third Young Mistress of the Zhuang Family. "
Song Qingshu could not help but be shocked. "So fast?" At the same time, he was complaining incessantly in his heart. If he had known this would happen, he would have waited a few days to settle the score with Wu Zhirong. He had just reunited with Shuang'er, and now they had to separate.
Shuang'er also had a look of hesitation on her face. However, after hesitating for a while, she finally said apologetically, "The Zhuang Family has been very kind to me. I want to let the Third Young Mistress take revenge as soon as possible so that the dozens of wronged souls in the Zhuang Family can also be freed one day earlier."
Hearing her words, Song Qingshu knew that she had made up her mind. "If that's the case, I won't force you to stay. I'll send you out of the city. It's not convenient for you to bring him out of the city."
Now that the city gates were closed, Shuang'er knew that with her skills, she would definitely not be able to bring a living person over the city walls. However, if she waited until the next morning and Wu Zhirong's residence found out that he was missing, the city gates would definitely be searched and it would be even more difficult to bring him out.
Seeing Song Qingshu's thoughtfulness, Shuang'er immediately felt grateful. She sweetly replied, "Thank you, Song Dage."
Afterwards, Song Qingshu held Shuang'er's waist with one hand and carried the gunny sack with the other. Just like that, they quietly slipped out of Yangzhou City. Afterwards, he found a vegetable farmer in a small town nearby. He spent a lot of money to buy the donkey cart that the farmer used to deliver vegetables. He threw the gunny sack with Wu Zhirong inside.
"Shuang'er, I still have important matters to attend to in Yangzhou. I can't accompany you to Jiaxing." Song Qingshu said with an apologetic expression.
Shuang'er hastily said, "Song Dage, because of me, you captured a high-ranking official of the Manchurian Qing. When the time comes, the Yangzhou officialdom will certainly be shaken. Perhaps it will even affect the matter that you want to handle. This has already made me very uneasy. How can I delay you? Song Dage, don't worry. These days I have traveled all over the country and have already gained a lot of experience. Along the way, nothing will happen. Besides, Jiaxing is not that far from Yangzhou. "
Only then did Song Qingshu relax. "Then after you take Wu Zhirong to the Zhuang family, quickly come back to find me. During this time, I will always miss you."
Shuang'er blushed slightly. "I will come back as soon as possible," she softly said.
Despite his reluctance, Song Qingshu still had no choice but to see Shuang'er off. When he could no longer see her silhouette clearly, he returned to Yangzhou City.
When he passed by Wu Zhirong's mansion, Song Qingshu quietly slipped inside and threw a torch. Afterwards, he quickly returned to the Dao Tai yamen.
Yesterday, he had just learned from Lu Guanying that the real Southern Song envoy was in the Jade Pure Monastery. He was worried that if he was late, the other party might have already withdrawn. Therefore, he needed Wu Zhirong's disappearance to be discovered as soon as possible. That way, he would have a reason to take the opportunity to lead his troops to search the Jade Pure Monastery.
Actually, it was not impossible for him to go alone to investigate the Jade Pure Monastery, but his main purpose was to disrupt the peace negotiation between Li Kexiu and the Southern Song envoy. Therefore, he needed to make a big show of force, the bigger the better. With Yangzhou's troops involved, it would be impossible for the Southern Song envoy's side to not be suspicious and suspicious. With each side harboring their own ulterior motives, it would be strange if the two sides could reach any conclusion.
Not long after he returned to the Dao Tai yamen, the news that the Yangzhou prefectural magistrate Wu Zhirong was kidnapped by the bandits came. Songgotu hastily ran to Song Qingshu to discuss the matter. After discussing it, the two of them decided to search the entire city.
At first, Songgotu wanted to send troops to search the surrounding area of Yangzhou, but Song Qingshu stopped him with the reason that 'the city gate is closed, it is impossible for the bandits to bring people out'. Songgotu thought it was reasonable, hence he dispelled the idea.
In the end, Song Qingshu volunteered to help find the bandits. Songgotu did not want to refuse his request, hence he gave him several dozen soldiers.
Leaving the Dao Tai yamen, Song Qingshu found a Manchurian Qing soldier and asked him for the location of the Jade Pure Monastery. Afterwards, he led his troops to kill their way there.
During the day, after Miss Cheng and her husband Lu Guanying left the Dao Tai yamen, they circled around the city seven or eight times. After confirming that no one was following them, they ran to the Jade Pure Monastery where they had previously agreed to meet.
At the Jade Pure Monastery, Lu You was discussing with the Southern Song envoy how to rescue the two of them. Seeing them return safely, he could not help but be overjoyed. He reprimanded Lu Guanying and then softly comforted Miss Cheng.
Lu Guanying was depressed, but it was not convenient for him to tell his elders the reason. Moreover, there was an important person like the envoy here. Could it be that he wanted to let everyone know that his wife had lost her chastity? He had no choice but to listen to his uncle's reprimand with a dark face. Then he returned to his room and fell asleep.
Seeing her husband doubting her, Miss Cheng felt incomparably wronged. She could only gloomily return to her room and secretly shed tears.
Lu You saw that the husband and wife were at odds with each other, but he did not take it to heart. After settling the two of them down, he discussed with the envoy about winning over Li Kexiu.
At night, the group of people went to rest. Who knew that in the middle of the night, there would suddenly be a loud noise outside. The guards came back to report that the Qing soldiers had surrounded the Jade Pure Monastery.
The people of the Southern Song Dynasty turned pale with fright and hurriedly gathered together. Lu You said to the envoy, "Sir Han, while there are not many Qing soldiers, let's take the opportunity to kill our way out and then escort you out of the city overnight."
The envoy, who was called Sir Han, shook his head and said, "No need. Since there are not many soldiers, it proves that our identities have not been exposed. We will pretend to be ordinary tourists and go out to meet them for a while. Then we will send them away. "
Lu You frowned and said, "But sir, your status is noble. If you are recognized by the Qing people here …"
Sir Han laughed and said, "So what if they recognize me? With my status, do you think they will dare to touch me? If it was in the past, it would have been fine. But now the Qing can't even take care of themselves. How can they dare to casually provoke us? What's more, don't forget that this is Li Kexiu's territory. If something really happens, how can he just stand by and watch? "
Lu You was still worried and said, "But distant water cannot quench a nearby fire. Moreover, Li Kexiu is, after all, a Qing official in name. Even if he helps us, it is inevitable that his hands and feet will be tied."
