"But Yuan is your husband." Song Qingshu complained in his mind, but he said, "Then why do you still want to go to Liao?"
"After all, we used to be husband and wife. We have to put an end to it." Xia Qingqing sighed.
Song Qingshu nodded. "Okay, I'll go with you."
Xia Qingqing shook her head. "There are so many things to do here. How can you leave? Don't worry, I won't rekindle my relationship with Brother Yuan. "
Song Qingshu hugged her. "But I'm worried about Yuan. What if he uses force on you? You can't beat him."
Xia Qingqing spat. "Pfft, Brother Yuan is a gentleman. Do you think he's like you?"
Song Qingshu buried his head in her arms. "I don't care. I won't allow you to find him alone."
Xia Qingqing blushed and pushed him away. "Then who was the one who agreed to let me go?"
"I was just saying. If you really leave me, I'll do whatever it takes to keep you by my side," Song Qingshu said confidently with a shameless attitude.
"What a scoundrel!" Xia Qingqing said, but she was not really angry. Instead, she felt a little happy.
"Although Liao is not as vast as it used to be, its territory is still not small. Where are you going to find him?" Dongfang Muxue suddenly said.
Xia Qingqing was stunned. She knew that Xia Qingqing was telling the truth. The Kingdom of Liao controlled almost a thousand miles of territory. Even if Yuan Chengzhi was really in the Kingdom of Liao, finding him would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"How about this? Now that the three border defenses are in full swing, the imperial court is short of manpower. Why don't Qingqing go back to the capital with me? Besides helping with government affairs, we can also use the imperial court's intelligence system to investigate Yuan Chengzhi's whereabouts," Dongfang Muxue said.
Song Qingshu heard that she wanted to take the opportunity to ease the relationship between him and Xia Qingqing, so he naturally agreed.
"Okay!" Xia Qingqing pondered for a while and knew that this was the best way. "But I have to go back to the Golden Snake Camp first and check whether Brother Yuan's tomb is really empty."
"No problem. It's on the way back anyway. I'll accompany you." Dongfang Muxue agreed immediately.
Song Qingshu pulled her aside with a strange expression. "Is Yuan Chengzhi's tomb really empty?"
Dongfang Muxue rolled her eyes in annoyance. "So I've wasted my time talking?"
Song Qingshu laughed awkwardly and said, "I'm worried that you're deliberately fooling Qingqing in order to calm her down."
Xia Qingqing coughed. "It's almost daybreak. I'll head back first."
Song Qingshu asked curiously, "Just sleep here. What's the problem?"
Seeing his blank face, as if he really didn't know, Xia Qingqing stomped her feet angrily. "After all, I'm now Mrs. Yuan in name. If I'm seen going out of your tent tomorrow morning, then … then tens of thousands of soldiers will know very quickly."
Song QingShu immediately smiled. "And here I was wondering what it was. If it was in the past, I wouldn't have forced you. But now that I know Yuan Chengzhi might still be alive, I really can't let you go."
"Why?" Xia Qingqing was stunned.
Dongfang Muxue smiled and said, "Isn't it because of the man's possessiveness? He just wants to declare your sovereignty to everyone. Now that his prestige is unprecedentedly high, and the old people of the Golden Snake Camp all think that Yuan Chengzhi is dead, they won't oppose your relationship. When everyone in the Golden Snake Camp gets used to your relationship, even if Yuan Chengzhi comes back, it won't be of any help. "
"But this …" Xia Qingqing blushed. "This is so embarrassing for me." She had always prided herself on being loyal to love. When she thought of the strange looks others would give her after daybreak, she felt embarrassed and embarrassed.
"Song Qingshu is sometimes too soft and unwilling to be the bad guy. Since that's the case, let me say it." Dongfang Muxue's expression turned serious. "If you don't settle your relationship as soon as possible, when the rest of the Golden Snake Camp knows that Yuan Chengzhi is still alive, what will you two do? At that time, in everyone's eyes, you're Mrs. Yuan. Once your relationship is exposed, you'll definitely be despised by the world. If you don't embarrass yourself now, you'll both regret it when your reputation is ruined. "
These words caused Xia Qingqing's expression to change several times. Song Qingshu couldn't help but sigh. "Although I vaguely sensed some danger, I didn't see it as clearly as you did. You're indeed someone who used to be a leader."
Dongfang Muxue snorted softly, but her brows were full of pride. At the same time, she gave Xia Qingqing a look.
Song Qingshu was not stupid. He immediately grabbed Xia Qingqing's hand and said, "Qingqing, stay with me, okay?"
Xia Qingqing lowered her head. After a long time, she let out a soft hum. "Okay."
Song Qingshu was overjoyed. He grabbed Dongfang Muxue with one hand and Xia Qingqing with the other and crawled back into bed. There were too many things happening that night. Soon, the three of them fell asleep.
…
When the morning sun shone into the tent, the three of them were still sleeping soundly. After some time, a soldier's voice suddenly came from outside the tent. "Reporting to the Golden Snake King, all the generals are waiting outside the tent."
"Ah?" Xia Qingqing exclaimed and immediately sat up straight. She felt something strange in front of her chest. She looked down and couldn't help but get angry. "Take your hands off me!"
Dongfang Muxue didn't even open her eyes. She just pinched her fingers and a satisfied smile appeared on her lips. "It feels good. Tsk tsk, killing your husband and taking your wife. This feeling is really good."
Xia Qingqing almost fainted from anger. She lifted the blanket and was about to fight with her. Song Qingshu hurriedly stopped the two girls. "Everyone is outside. Stop it."
Dongfang Muxue was beaming with joy. She obviously didn't care about the situation at all. Xia Qingqing, on the other hand, blushed and hurriedly put on her clothes.
After a long time, the three of them finally walked out of the tent. When the people waiting outside saw Xia Qingqing following behind Song QingShu with her head down and a red face, they were all stunned. However, they quickly revealed understanding smiles.
After all, a beauty and a hero was a scene that everyone loved to see. Moreover, Song Qingshu had just made a god-like performance yesterday. His reputation was at its peak, so no one would object.
As for the elders of the Golden Snake Camp, they felt more complicated. On one hand, they thought of Yuan Chengzhi and sighed in their hearts. On the other hand, Xia Qingqing represented the interests of the elders. The closer she was to Song Qingshu, the higher the status of the elders would rise.
Zhao Min, who was in the crowd, poked Zhou Zhiruo secretly and said with a fake smile, "Weren't you treating that Miss Xue yesterday? Why is there another woman? Zhou Zhiruo, Zhou Zhiruo, your man is surrounded by so many vixens. What will you do in the future? "
Zhou Zhiruo was smart and naturally knew that the other party wanted to use her as a tool. She replied indifferently, "As long as the vixen Miss Zhao isn't around, I can handle the others."
Zhao Min was almost choked by her words. She had no choice but to humph guiltily, "Bah! That stinky man! Only you guys would fight over him like he's a treasure. This Junzhu doesn't care."
Zhou Zhiruo smiled faintly, "That better be the case."
Among this group of women, Ah Jiu was probably the only one who sincerely wished Xia Qingqing well. Previously, she had always felt that she had been wronged for following Song QingShu without an official title, but she knew Xia Qingqing's previous concerns. She didn't know why she had thought it through overnight.
Following that, the higher-ups of the Golden Snake Camp held an emergency meeting. They had defeated the main force of the Green Camp yesterday and obtained a large amount of resources and manpower. This time, Li Kexiu had come out in full force. The Jianghuai area at the rear was extremely empty. It was the best time to take advantage of the victory and pursue the enemy.
Song Qingshu assigned different tasks to each of the generals. He had them lead the army to attack various states and counties while he was responsible for attacking Yangzhou. After the meeting, the generals left to prepare, leaving only Song Qingshu and the women in the tent.
Dongfang Muxue did not dare to go out for too long because the Qing court was in a tight situation. It was inconvenient for her to accompany Song Qingshu to the south. She set off to the north on the same day. Xia Qingqing was worried about Yuan Chengzhi's whereabouts, so she went north with her. Naturally, Indigo Phoenix was no exception.
Hearing that Xia Qingqing was going with Dongfang Muxue, Ah Jiu was the most surprised, "Qingqing, why are you going north?"
Song Qingshu explained on her behalf, "Ah Jiu, I will tell you privately later."
Ah Jiu nodded understandingly and did not continue to ask.
Before Dongfang Muxue left, she came to Zhao Min and handed her a light brown pill. She said softly, "I don't know the formula for the Three Corpses Brain Pill in your body, so naturally I can't cure it. However, if you haven't found the antidote before Duanyang, take this pill. It can delay the time for half a year. If you still can't find the antidote after half a year, then even the gods can't save you." She then left with Xia Qingqing and Indigo Phoenix.
Zhao Min was stunned. She had never met her before, so how could she …
Suddenly, Zhao Min lifted her head to look at Song Qingshu. Seeing that he was looking at her, she could not help but feel a surge of warmth in her heart. For the past few months, she had been smiling like a flower and did not look any different from before. However, only she knew how terrified she was in her heart. No matter how smart she was and how many masters she had under her command, she was still a girl after all. She shuddered at the thought of such a vicious worm hiding in her body.
For the past few months, she had used almost all the strength she could muster. Time and time again, she thought that she could find the antidote. However, she was disappointed again and again. Gradually, she began to doubt whether she could find the antidote.
Occasionally, in the dead of the night, she would think of Song QingShu, that heartless man, who had been busy with his own affairs and did not come to help her. It was inevitable that she would feel resentful, but all of this would disappear at this time.
So, he still remembered the poison in my body …
