Han Xingzhou's face heated up, he knew that Wei Xiaobao was mocking him. Last time, they had clearly made an agreement in Yangzhou, but as soon as Moqi Chen arrived, everything changed. Because of this matter, he had to greet all eighteen generations of Moqi Chen's ancestors at home. % m
"I'm afraid you're worried about Moqi Chen," Han Xingzhou explained. "Yes, it was Moqi Chen who made trouble last time, but now he is like a skeleton in a grave and can't do anything again. Don't worry, Young Master."
"A skeleton in a grave?" Song Qingshu chuckled. "What do you mean?"
Han Xingzhou also laughed. "Moqi Chen used to tie the imperial court to the same warship as him. But now that Li Kexiu has been captured by Young Master and the Jiangnan Green Camp has been destroyed, Moqi Chen has no one to rely on. Many people in the imperial court accuse him, and the situation is on the verge of collapse. If it weren't for his many years of hard work, the emperor would have already removed him from the position of Prime Minister. "
"Many years of hard work?" Song Qingshu said coldly. "Moqi Chen has done all kinds of bad things. What hard work can he have? Is it his hard work to frame Yue Fei? "He had always respected Yue Fei, and the more he spoke, the more indignant he became.
Han Xingzhou laughed awkwardly but didn't agree. Yue Fei's case was the biggest injustice in the Southern Song Dynasty and the biggest minefield of the imperial court. Although they knew Yue Fei was wronged, no one dared to bring up reversing the verdict. After all, it was the emperor who made the decision. If they reversed the verdict for Yue Fei, wouldn't it be a slap in the face to the emperor?
Song QingShu was an outsider, so he naturally could say these things. Han Chuan Zhou, on the other hand, had been in the imperial court for many years, so he had learned to be mature and prudent. He would play it safe and play it safe, so he naturally would not get involved.
However, he admired Song QingShu's indignation very much. It must be known that he had always despised Qin Hui and Wanqi Feng's conduct. Moreover, he was bent on conquering the Central Plains to wash away the humiliation of Jingkang. Naturally, Yue Fei was his confidant.
"Even without Moqi Chen, your imperial court seems to have another heavyweight," Song Qingshu said suddenly.
"Do you mean Jia Shidao, Young Master?" Han Xingzhou's expression suddenly became very strange. "I'm afraid he doesn't have the time to care about this. Not long ago, his son made a big mistake …"
That matter involved the palace, and Song Qingshu was, after all, an outsider. Han Xingzhou deliberately avoided mentioning it, but how could he know that Song Qingshu was personally involved from beginning to end?
"The emperor was furious. Concubine Jia was banished to the Cold Palace, and Jia Shidao was demoted. His power was weakened to the extreme." Han Xingzhou gloated and tried to control himself from laughing out loud. "It took him a lot of effort to save his son's life and send him to Mongolia as a hostage to atone for his crimes. However, the Mongolian delegation disappeared for no reason, and his son is also missing. Jia Shidao is now focusing all his energy on investigating this matter."
Song Qingshu was shocked. He thought that Jia Shidao had not only lost his son, but also so many top experts of the Island of Heroes. It would be strange if he wasn't anxious. With his power in the imperial court and the intelligence network of the Island of Heroes, he might really find out that it was Song Qingshu.
With such concerns in his heart, Song QingShu asked calmly, "Oh, I wonder if you found anything?"
Han Xingzhou also frowned. "This matter is very strange. The Mongolian delegation was made up of elite riders, and they were accompanied by many top experts. I don't know who could make such a powerful team disappear into thin air. However, I found the Imperial Army at the scene. Someone must have used the army. I think the mastermind behind this is probably Moqi Chen. "
Song Qingshu thought to himself, Moqi Chen was bold enough to send out five hundred elite cavalrymen. It was a good person to take the blame. Unfortunately, although she could fool others, she probably couldn't fool Jia Shidao. The eighteen top experts of the Island of Heroes were all masters. Even if they were faced with five hundred elite cavalrymen, they wouldn't be completely wiped out. None of them would be able to escape.
Han Xingzhou smiled and said, "Does that make you feel relieved?"
"I hope everything goes well." Song Qingshu nodded.
The two sides continued to discuss and finally reached a preliminary agreement according to the agreement they had made in Yangzhou. However, things were different now. Song Qingshu had more confidence to fight for more benefits. Although Han Xingzhou was in a difficult position, he didn't refuse.
In the end, Han Xingzhou said, "Tomorrow morning, you will follow me back to Lin 'an. I will arrange for the emperor to meet you. However, there is a problem now."
"What problem?" Song QingShu had no interest in entering the palace for an audience, and he was not worried about encountering any danger. After all, with his current martial arts, he could come and go as he pleased even in the palace. Who could stop him from leaving?
"Young Master must have a reason for entering the palace this time. If you don't have anything, everyone will think that Young Master is here to ask for peace. At that time, those officials will definitely be insatiable, and their harsh conditions will most likely anger Young Master." Han Xingzhou explained patiently. He didn't think this was treason. After all, there was no hatred between the Southern Song Dynasty and the Golden Snake Camp. Moreover, they were all Han people, and to some extent, they could use the power of the Golden Snake Camp.
In the hearts of Han Xingzhou and all the people of the Southern Song Dynasty, the number one enemy was the Jin Kingdom. Not long ago, he received news that the Jin Kingdom was in chaos, and it was a good opportunity for him to conquer the Central Plains. Because of Moqi Feng and Li Kexiu, he had been delayed for a long time. He was worried that if he talked peace with the Golden Snake Camp, he would waste too much time. If he waited for the Jin Kingdom to completely recover from the civil strife, he would really miss the golden opportunity. Compared with the loss of soldiers and the expenditure of money and provisions, the concession to the Golden Snake Camp was almost negligible.
"May I let Minister Han know that I didn't come to the South to seek peace, but to ask for a marriage." Song Qingshu said confidently. The Golden Snake Camp had discussed this issue for a long time. Finally, it was Zhao Min who came up with the idea of changing peace to marriage, which solved the problem in an instant.
"Marriage?" Han Xingzhou was surprised at first, but then he clapped his hands and praised, "How wonderful! Last time, Young Master rescued the princesses from the Laundry Yard in the Jin Kingdom. With this kindness, it would be hard for the imperial court not to concede. The other ministers also have nothing to say."
Then the two sides discussed some specific details, and finally agreed to set off for the capital early the next morning.
Then, Chancellor Lu arranged for the residence to prepare a banquet to welcome Han Xingzhou. At the same time, he welcomed Song QingShu's arrival. Because the discussion was almost over and everyone had gained something, the atmosphere at the banquet was very warm. It could be said that both the guests and the host were happy. dudu2();
After the song ended and the crowd dispersed, Song QingShu reeked of alcohol as a maidservant helped him back to his courtyard. Even though the maidservant was pretty, Song QingShu was used to seeing stunning beauties, so how could he be tempted by them?
After the maidservant left, Song Qingshu, who had been pretending to be drunk, suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were full of sobriety.
"Ah, should I go to Cheng Yaojia's place tonight?" Song Qingshu hesitated. If he didn't go, he would be lonely and unable to sleep. If he went, Lu Guanying had just returned. He had to consider his feelings. After all, he didn't want to plant the seed of hatred in his heart.
While he was in a dilemma, Song Qingshu suddenly had an idea. He walked out of the door and quietly looked outside the courtyard. "Since you are here, why don't you come out to meet me?"
"Prince Song really has a good cultivation. My heart just beat faster, and you found out." A figure slowly walked in from the door of the courtyard. Under the moonlight, he was wearing a green robe. He had sharp eyebrows and thin lips, and his face was full of unruly expression.
A strange expression appeared on Song Qingshu's face. He cupped his hands and said, "Brother Linghu, long time no see."
The person in front of him was naturally Linghu Chong. He had been recommended to the palace by Han Xingzhou and became one of the most mysterious and glorious imperial guards. However, the emperor remembered Han Xingzhou's hard work and high merits, so he specially assigned him to protect Han Xingzhou as a sign of the emperor's favor.
When Han Xingzhou left Lin 'an this time, Linghu Chong had been secretly protecting him. He didn't show up during the day, so at first Song Qingshu didn't know.
"It hasn't been long since we parted in Yangzhou," Linghu Chong said coldly.
Song Qingshu knew that Linghu Chong had been holding a grudge against him for taking Ren Yingying away, so he didn't care about the coldness in Linghu Chong's tone. He smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I still have to thank Brother Linghu for your help last time."
Linghu Chong snorted. "At that time, I didn't have the intention to save you. I just thought that you were dead because of the Golden Ripple Flower. If I had known that you would escape later, I would never have done that, so you don't have to thank me."
Song Qingshu smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Linghu Chong is really open and aboveboard. Song Mou admires you very much. But didn't I make it clear to Brother Linghu last time? There's no reason for you to hate me so much. You might as well focus on pursuing your little sister apprentice. "
Linghu Chong's face darkened, and he didn't answer. dudu3();
Song Qingshu shrugged and didn't take it seriously. He continued to curry favor with him. "Did Brother Linghu act as I said last time? How is the progress with Miss Yue now?"
Linghu Chong continued to stay silent. After a long time, he finally said, "I've received orders from others, so I'll be loyal to them. I don't have the time to look for little sister apprentice."
Song Qingshu almost choked to death. He said gloomily, "Why are you so honest? You're already lagging behind others. Why don't you seize the time to increase Miss Yue's favorability? If you do, she'll really become someone else's wife."
Clang!
With a dragon's roar, Linghu Chong unsheathed his sword and pointed it at Chu Li. "I, Linghu Chong, am open and aboveboard. I don't use those methods to deceive little sister apprentice."
Song Qingshu had a strange expression on his face. "How can it be called deceiving someone who sincerely pursues the woman he loves?"
"There's no need to say anymore." Linghu Chong shouted. "You're not poisoned this time, so I can openly seek revenge on you. Draw your sword!"
Song Qingshu sighed. "Is it still because of Yingying?"
Linghu Chong didn't say anything. It was obvious that he agreed.
"You're no match for me." Song Qingshu shook his head. "If I were you, I would definitely have made my move back in Yangzhou. Otherwise, I would have found a chance to assassinate her. Why would I come looking for me so openly?"
Linghu Chong said coldly, "If I did that, wouldn't I be in cahoots with you? Make your move. Don't brag too early. "
Hearing the confidence in his tone, Song QingShu made a sound of surprise and seriously sized him up. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Compared to before, your cultivation has indeed improved a lot. Did you have some fortuitous encounter recently?"
