"The Golden Snake Camp isn't doing too well." Indigo Phoenix's first sentence made Song Qingshu worried.
"Not long after the incident, Li Kexiu spread the news and led the army north to annex the territory of the Golden Snake Camp. Fortunately, the Ninth Princess, Qingqing, and the others managed it well and stopped Li Kexiu's attack in time. However, when the news of the incident spread, the morale of the Golden Snake Camp began to waver," Indigo Phoenix continued.
Song QingShu cursed inwardly. Usually, he ran all over the world like a mysterious dragon. Usually, he let Ah Jiu disguise himself to be in charge of the Golden Snake Camp. Now that this matter had happened, the matter of disguising himself as a substitute would probably be exposed.
"The Ninth Princess appeared in the face of the Golden Snake Camp and managed to stabilize the morale of the army. However, after a long time, the intelligence from all sides will inevitably make people suspicious. According to the latest news, the Ninth Princess can't control the situation any longer. She can only defend and resist the attack of Li Kexiu's army." Indigo Phoenix was Dongfang Muxue's confidant, so she obviously knew about the disguise.
"It seems that I have to go back as soon as possible." Although he did not witness it, Song QingShu could imagine how anxious A 'Jiu and Xia Qingqing were during this period of time. On one hand, they had to worry about their own lives, and on the other hand, they had to resist the fierce attacks of the veteran general Li Kexiu.
"What about Jia Shidao?" Zhou Zhiruo had already learned about the identity of the Young Master in the Luxurious Gown from Song Qingshu. She also knew what Song Qingshu had seen and heard in the Jia's Mansion.
"What a headache." Song Qingshu frowned. If he just left and the Jia's Mansion found out that Jia Baoyu was missing, wouldn't there be an uproar? It wouldn't be long before Jia Baoyu's death was found out. By then, wouldn't the person who impersonated Jia Baoyu be the biggest suspect?
Although Song Qingshu's disguise was secretive, there was no such thing as an imposter. Jia Shidao was the third most powerful person in the Southern Song Dynasty and could mobilize the power of the entire country. Plus, the Isle of Heroes was a super intelligence organization that knew everything in the Jianghu …
Song Qingshu never underestimated the intelligence of his enemies. He believed that Jia Shidao would find out about him sooner or later. Now, he and the Prime Minister Moqi Suo were already at each other's throats, and the Golden Snake Camp was also fighting fiercely with Li Kexiu. If such a powerful enemy like Jia Shidao were to appear out of nowhere, wouldn't it mean that he would completely break with the Southern Song Dynasty?
Previously, he hadn't been in a hurry to kill Wan Gui and Moqi Chen. Apart from torturing them slowly, another reason was their identities. After all, Moqi Chen was the Prime Minister of the Southern Song Dynasty. He represented the face of the Imperial Court. If he killed them directly, how could the Southern Song Dynasty let the matter rest?
Therefore, Song Qingshu planned to torture Wan Gui while using political means to oust Moqi Ju from his position as Prime Minister. Once he was no longer the Prime Minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, it wouldn't cause any disturbance even if he were to be killed or dismembered.
However, if Jia Shidao and Moqi Chen were forced to join forces to deal with him, the power of the two would be enough to influence the Southern Song Dynasty's policy. By then, his enemy would not be Moqi Chen, but the entire Southern Song Dynasty!
Song Qingshu's main enemy was the unprecedentedly powerful Mongolia. He didn't want to have an internal conflict between the Han people first. Moreover, the Golden Snake Camp might not be able to deal with both Li Kexiu and the Southern Song Dynasty at the same time.
"I shouldn't have disguised myself as Jia Baoyu!" Song Qingshu regretted it. However, he knew that there was nothing he could do at the time. If he hadn't disguised himself as Jia Baoyu, he would have died on the island. He wouldn't have had the chance to learn the Taixuan Sutra, let alone return to the Central Plains.
Soon, they arrived at the secret base of the Five Immortals Sect. After putting down Di Yun's coffin and putting Qi Fang to sleep, Song Qingshu told Zhou Zhiruo about his thoughts.
Zhou Zhiruo frowned and said, "Yes, we have to think of a foolproof plan."
The Indigo Phoenix, who was at the side, laughed, "Both of you don't have to frown so much. Everything has its pros and cons. Although impersonating Jia Baoyu is risky, his special identity can bring immeasurable benefits if it is used well."
Song Qingshu smiled bitterly and said, "I know that, but the Golden Snake Camp is in a critical situation. I have to go there as soon as possible."
Zhou Zhiruo said, "How about this? We will stay in Lin 'an for two more days and see if we can find a way to make the best of both worlds. If it doesn't work, we will pretend to be Jia Baoyu and run away from home."
"That's the only way." Song Qingshu nodded. Jiu and Qingqing should be able to hold on for one or two days.
"I have been out for a long time. I have to go back to the Jia residence to avoid being exposed." Song QingShu looked at Qi Fang, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and said to Indigo Phoenix, "Little Phoenix, I'll have to trouble you to take care of Qi Fang. If there's any news, go to the Red Sleeve Courtyard in the city to look for Zhiruo."
Blue Phoenix smiled sweetly and said, "Don't worry, I will send Young Master's little lover home safely."
Song Qingshu blushed and said, "Don't talk nonsense. She is a married woman."
Blue Phoenix pouted. She thought to herself, 'Why didn't you think that Zhou Zhiruo was married when you pressed her down on the table?' However, she wouldn't bring it up in front of Zhou Zhiruo. Hence, she smiled ambiguously.
Song Qingshu brought Zhou Zhiruo to Lin 'an City awkwardly. On the way, Zhou Zhiruo asked thoughtfully, "Did something happen in the Prime Minister's residence? Why do I feel that all of you have such strange expressions?"
As the saying went, "If you confess, you will be lenient. If you resist, you will be sent home for the New Year." Song Qingshu did not dare to tell her the truth and could only reply casually.
Fortunately, Zhou Zhiruo did not continue to ask. Instead, she sighed and said, "Jiu and Qingqing have to take care of the Golden Snake Camp and fight on the battlefield. It has been hard on them these days."
"That's right." Song QingShu also let out a long sigh. "Sometimes, I feel like I'm too irresponsible as a hands-off boss. I let you handle all the tedious government affairs, but I'm free and unfettered outside."
Zhou Zhiruo held his hand and said softly, "Qingshu, why do you have to belittle yourself? Others don't know, but do you think that we sisters don't know your hard work? If it wasn't for you maneuvering around the various countries, how could the Golden Snake Camp have such a good external situation and develop in peace? How could the Qing Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom be secretly controlled by us? Although … although you would hook up with some women everywhere you went, I turned a blind eye to you because you've been dancing on a tightrope. "
Song Qingshu was surprised and surprised, "Zhiruo, I didn't know you were so magnanimous."
Zhou Zhiruo rolled her eyes at him and said, "If I'm not magnanimous, do you think you won't fool around? It's better to be magnanimous than to be disliked by others because of jealousy. Of course, if you just want to be a sect leader or something, I will never allow you to find another woman. But now that you want to conquer the world … it's the time when you need all kinds of help. As long as it can help you conquer the world, it's okay to have more sisters. I'm not afraid to tell you that I've dreamed of being an empress since I was a child. "
Song Qingshu smiled and reached out to hold her slender waist, "Aren't you afraid that directly saying what you want will arouse my disgust?"
