Noticing Lu Guanying's reaction, Song Qingshu was immediately unhappy. "I took such a big risk to save you. How am I not a good person?"
"You did it for … for …" Lu Guanying looked at his wife and his breathing became rapid. "You did it for Yaojia. Do you think I don't know what you are thinking?"
Miss Cheng hurriedly explained, "Guanying, you misunderstood. There is nothing between us. He … he is also a gentleman." She had promised Song Qingshu that she would not reveal his true identity to anyone, not even her husband.
Song Qingshu calmly said, "Of course I did it for her. Otherwise, why would I take such a big risk to save you when we are not related?"
"You finally admit it!" Lu Guanying pointed at him and trembled with anger.
Miss Cheng couldn't help but stamp her feet. "Guanying, don't make trouble! It is so dangerous here. When we get to a safe place, I will slowly explain it to you. "
"I made trouble?" Being accused by his wife, Lu Guanying was furious. "You are blaming me for this wild man?"
"I …" Miss Cheng's mouth opened slightly. For a moment, she didn't know what to say. Tears welled up in her eyes and she felt very wronged.
Song QingShu frowned and reached out to pull Cheng Yaojia back. He gently patted her shoulder to comfort her. Then he said to Lu Guanying, "If I remember correctly, you have already written the divorce letter. Cheng Yaojia has nothing to do with you anymore. Even if she really finds another man, you have no right to interfere. To be honest, you are the wild man now."
"You!" Noticing his actions, Lu Guanying's eyes couldn't help but shrink. He found that his wife was used to this and didn't resist at all. His face became even more livid.
"Young master, please don't provoke him, okay?" Miss Cheng hurriedly shook his arm and pleaded softly.
"Humph!" Song Qingshu snorted but didn't say anything else.
Miss Cheng ran to her husband's side and begged. Lu Guanying turned his face away and said, "Even if I die here, I don't want him to save me!"
Cheng Yaojia was anxious and wanted to say something, but Song Qingshu said, "Yaojia, I have already put up with it several times. If it weren't for you, why would I do such a strenuous and unrewarding thing? Since he wants to stay here, let him stay. "
"But …" Miss Cheng reluctantly looked at her husband and stood there, unable to move forward.
Song Qingshu knew that if Lu Guanying didn't leave, Cheng Yaojia wouldn't abandon him. He rolled his eyes and came up with a plan. "It's better if he doesn't leave. When the time comes, we won't have to sneak around."
"Ah?" Cheng Yaojia was surprised and blushed. She was about to explain when Song Qingshu came to her side and whispered,
"Madam, I'm trying to provoke him. I hope you can cooperate."
Cheng Yaojia immediately understood. However, she vaguely felt that this was a bit inappropriate. But now that things had come to this, she had no other way. She could only lower her head and acquiesce.
This adulterous couple!
Looking at the two of them hugging each other intimately, Lu Guanying's lungs were about to explode. "Humph, who said I won't leave?" After saying that, he endured the pain in his body and walked over step by step.
Cheng Yaojia was overjoyed and quickly ran over to help him. Lu Guanying wanted to wave her away, but when he saw his wife's tearful eyes, his heart softened.
"Let me do it." Song Qingshu frowned when he saw the two of them supporting each other.
"Who needs your help?" He was soft-hearted towards his wife because of their many years of love. Lu Guanying naturally didn't have such a good temper.
Song QingShu said coldly, "Who asked you and your husband's lightness skills to be so poor? Now that the Clear Jade Monastery is heavily guarded, not to mention a burden like you, even Yao Jia alone would not be able to escape."
"Yaojia, Yaojia, you call me so affectionately." Lu Guanying couldn't help but mutter.
Song Qingshu was too lazy to argue with him. Without any explanation, he inserted himself between the two of them. He held Cheng Yaojia's waist with one hand and Lu Guanying's collar with the other. Using his Lightness Skill, they moved as fast as lightning and soon arrived outside the Clear Jade Monastery.
Even though they were enemies, Lu Guanying had to admit that the other party's Lightness Skill was too high. Even his Grand Master Huang Yaoshi, whom he worshipped as a god, might not be able to compare to him.
When he thought of the huge gap between their martial arts and the other party's, and looked at his wife's beautiful face, Lu Guanying's heart felt as if it was blocked by a large stone. He felt uncomfortable but also a deep sense of powerlessness.
Song Qingshu naturally didn't have time to care about the mentality of the weak. He waved his hand and several disguised Jin bodyguards ran over. "First, escort the two of them back to the Dao Tai yamen and find a doctor to treat Young Master Lu."
He had just seen Li Kexiu's figure in the Clear Jade Monastery and knew that he couldn't delay any longer. It was time to find Li Kexiu.
"Who wants to go to your place? Yaojia, let's go by ourselves! " When Lu Guanying heard this, he couldn't take it anymore. He reached out to pull his wife, but who knew that Cheng Yaojia's hand would subconsciously shrink back, causing him to be stunned. At this moment, he faintly felt that he had lost his wife forever.
"Your Southern Song Dynasty's diplomatic corps has been wiped out by the Mongolians. The Mongolians have many masters under their command. If you hide outside, you may be captured by the Mongolians at any time. It's fine if you're the only one who's captured since it has nothing to do with me. But if you cause Miss Yaojia to be captured, you won't be able to redeem yourself even if you die ten thousand times," Song Qingshu said coldly.
"You!" Lu Guanying immediately glared at him.
Song Qingshu said, "Come to my residence and recuperate. In the whole of Yangzhou, I'm afraid there's no place safer than my place."
Lu Guanying still wanted to say something, but Miss Cheng hurriedly pulled his hand and whispered, "Guanying, he has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Don't take his words to heart. Let's go to his place to treat your injuries first. Then we'll think of a way to save Mr. Han and Uncle Lu."
Lu Guanying held his breath. What his wife said was reasonable. He couldn't find a reason to refuse. He was full of depression, but he had nowhere to release it. He could only snort heavily.
Seeing that her husband didn't object, Miss Cheng was happy. She ran to Song Qingshu and looked at him with her watery eyes. "We're going back. Then … what about you?"
"I still have something to do here. You go back first. I'll be back in a while," Song Qingshu said with a smile.
Miss Cheng's face turned red. She thought, "Why does it sound like I'm asking you when you'll be back?"
After seeing the two of them off, Song Qingshu waited outside the Clear Jade Temple. Sure enough, it didn't take long for Li Kexiu to come out.
Song Qingshu found a secluded place and took off Tang Kuobian's mask. Then he swaggered out in front of Li Kexiu's group.
"How dare you! You dare to collide with the Land and Water Admiral's carriage! "Li Kexiu's bodyguards cursed.
Song Qingshu smiled. "An old friend has come to visit. Is this how Official Li treats guests?"
Li Kexiu heard the commotion and came out to investigate. When she saw Song Qingshu's appearance, she couldn't help but be startled. She hastily ordered her subordinates to leave. Although Song Qingshu was famous throughout the world, there was no television or internet in this world. The number of people who could recognize Song Qingshu could be counted on one hand. However, Li Kexiu had received his life-saving grace in the past. Naturally, she could recognize him.
"Official Li, would you do me the honor of having a cup of tea with you?" Song Qingshu asked with a smile.
Li Kexiu couldn't help but hesitate. In the end, she nodded and said, "In this world, the number of people who can receive an invitation from Prince Song can be counted on one hand. How can I refuse?"
Seeing that Li Kexiu didn't address him as Golden Snake King, presumably they were meeting as old friends and not for an official meeting. Song Qingshu understood. He wasn't in a hurry to expose him. He just extended his hand and invited, "Please!"
"Please!" Li Kexiu hurriedly modestly declined.
The two of them went to a nearby restaurant. It happened to be the restaurant where Song Qingshu had previously met Mu Wanqing and her party. Li Kexiu's subordinates had already cleared the restaurant in advance. Everyone was guarding downstairs. Only Li Kexiu and Song Qingshu were on the second floor.
Originally, Li Kexiu's subordinates, Lu Feiqing and the others, wanted to stay on the second floor to protect him. However, they were chased away by Li Kexiu. "If Golden Snake King wants to harm me, what difference does it make whether you are here or not? Moreover, I have a good personal relationship with Prince Song. What danger would there be? "
Song Qingshu smiled. "Uncle Li is indeed magnanimous. No wonder you are in charge of the 100,000 Green Camp in Jiangnan."
Li Kexiu smiled. "You are too polite. We are of the same generation. How could I dare to address you as uncle?"
Song Qingshu shook his head. "Your daughter and I have congenial interests. We have long been very good friends. As Yuanzhi's father, it is only right for me to address you as uncle."
When he said this, Li Kexiu naturally couldn't say anything more. However, when she heard the content of his words, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. She began to think about the relationship between him and her daughter.
"Uncle Li, have you finally made a decision after coming out of the Clear Jade Monastery?" The two of them chatted for a while before Song Qingshu suddenly asked.
"What decision?" Li Kexiu picked up his teacup to hide the uneasiness in his heart.
"Uncle Li, we are all on the same side. Let's not beat around the bush." Song Qingshu poured him a cup of tea before continuing. "I wonder if Uncle Li will ultimately choose the Southern Song Dynasty or the Mongolian Dynasty?"
Li Kexiu's expression changed several times. In the end, he smiled bitterly. "As expected, I can't hide anything from you. I am also having a headache over this matter."
Song Qingshu smiled. "Since Uncle Li is having a headache over this matter, how about I give you a third option?"
"A third option?" Li Kexiu was startled. However, he quickly thought of something and his expression became awkward.
"I know uncle's concerns. You can make your decision after reading this." Song Qingshu took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to the other.
"This is …?" Seeing the familiar handwriting on the letter, Li Kexiu's hands trembled.
"That's right, this was personally written by your honorable wife. I heard that uncle's family was detained by the Manchurian Qing, so I was somewhat afraid of taking action, so I specially rescued your honorable wife, your son, and the others from Yan Jing City. Now they are being entertained in the Golden Snake Camp with good food and drinks, I dare not neglect them." Song Qingshu said slowly.
