Song QingShu looked at Moqi Suo in surprise and said, "I was just thinking that if I won by a fluke, I would be so bold as to invite Imperial Consort for a dance. Could it be that Lady Moqi's mind is filled with filthy thoughts?"
"Huh?" Moqi Chu was instantly dumbfounded. In that instant, his mind was indeed filled with some unbearable images. Noticing that Zhao Gou was looking at him with an unfriendly gaze, he hurriedly said, "Nonsense, what kind of filthy thoughts could I have?"
"That's good." Song Qingshu smiled slightly.
Not far away, the yellow-robed woman frowned slightly, her voice cold. "Prince Song is too reckless. As the Imperial Consort of this dynasty, how could you dance for another man?"
Zhao Gou finally spoke. "If Prince Song can really summon the wind and rain, it will be an auspicious sign for this dynasty. There is no harm in letting Consort Wu dance for him." He was certain that Song Qingshu could not do it, so he pretended to be generous to show his magnanimity as the ruler of a country.
"Your Majesty is wise!" Since the Emperor had spoken, the officials naturally could not say anything else.
Zhao Gou laughed coldly in his heart. This Song Qingshu had some ability, but he was young and frivolous, arrogant and despotic. He was fated to not be someone who would achieve great things. It looked like he had worried too much.
Song Qingshu had always been so arrogant and despotic because, according to historical experience, the tougher the enemy, the weaker the Southern Song Dynasty would be. He did the same just to fight for more benefits in the peace talks. He did not expect that he would lower Zhao Gou's wariness. It was an unexpected gain.
If he knew this, he would probably only sigh that Zhao Gou had masochism in his bones. The fiercer someone was to him, the more comfortable he was; someone like Yue Fei who was loyal to him, he was suspicious of everything.
"Prince Song, please!" Zhao Gou had a smile on his face, but there was a sliver of coldness in his eyes.
Song QingShu nodded. "Everyone, please step outside the hall."
No one objected to this. They were inside the Hall of Heroes. Even if it rained outside, they would not be able to see.
A group of people filed out. When the yellow-clothed woman passed by Song Qingshu, she deliberately stopped and said with a worried expression, "What do you plan to do later?"
Song Qingshu shrugged. "Can't we just summon the wind and rain?"
"I'm being serious here." The yellow-robed woman was so anxious that she almost stamped her feet.
Song Qingshu was stunned. "I'm being serious."
"I don't care about you!" The yellow-robed woman's face turned cold, and she turned around to leave.
Song Qingshu smiled bitterly. Why didn't you believe me when I told you the truth?
With Zhao Gou in the lead, the civil and military officials surrounded the plaza outside the Hall of Heroes. Their gazes were all different.
Some were gloating, such as Zhang Jun.
There were people like Jia Shidao who had nothing to do with them and just wanted to watch the show.
There were people who were worried for him, such as Han Xingzhou …
Song Qingshu stood in the middle of the plaza and closed his eyes quietly, as if he was feeling something. The group of people saw that he didn't move for a long time, and they all became a little impatient. Moqi Ju was about to mock him, but she suddenly thought that it would be terrible if he made her the scapegoat for failing. She swallowed her words as soon as she opened her mouth, and she sneered to see what he was going to do.
Song Qingshu took a deep breath and suddenly opened his eyes. Just as he was about to make a move, a sharp cry came from afar, "Assassin!"
The civil and military officials were all shocked, and they all looked in the direction of the sound. They saw the guards in the distance in a mess, and people kept falling. Then, a white shadow rushed over at a shocking speed.
In just a few breaths, the white shadow had rushed to the front of the Hall of Heroes. Only then did everyone see the assassin's appearance.
They saw that the assassin was wearing a white dress that looked like a veil, and she seemed to be in the mist. She seemed to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, and besides her black hair, her whole body was snow white. Her face was beautiful, but her skin lacked a layer of blood, and she looked unusually pale.
Under the moonlight, everyone found that she was elegant and beautiful, and her appearance was no less than that of Imperial Concubine Wu. The only difference was that this female assassin's expression was cold and indifferent, like ice and snow.
"Xiao Long Nu?" Song Qingshu was both surprised and happy. He was happy that they had met again after they had parted in Yangzhou, and he was surprised that she had entered the palace alone to assassinate someone. Wasn't she going to die?
Xiao Longnu obviously did not expect to meet Song QingShu here either. She was also slightly taken aback. No one knew what she was thinking, but a faint blush appeared on her snow-white skin. She was truly like the first bud of a strange flower, glowing with the glow of a beautiful jade, bright beyond compare.
But this was only a matter of a moment, and she quickly recovered her coldness. Her beautiful eyes stared at Zhao Gou in the distance, and she shouted, "Muddleheaded ruler, die!" Her whole body was like a startled swan, and she shot towards Zhao Gou.
"Protect the Emperor!" At this time, the yellow-robed woman also reacted, and with a flash, she blocked in front of Xiao Long Nu, her ten slender fingers glowing like white jade. She saw that Xiao Long Nu's movements were light, and knew that her martial arts were very high, so she did not dare to be negligent, and used the Nine Yin White Bone Claw.
"Get out of my way." Xiao Long Nu's delicate eyebrows furrowed, her voice cold, and the moment she attacked, the sky was filled with sword shadows.
The yellow-robed woman did not expect that her sword would be so fast, her ten fingers flew extremely fast, and there were twenty ding dang dang dang dang dang twenty to thirty crisp sounds. Seeing that she could not avoid it, she could only use the Snake Form Flipping Fox movement technique to retreat to the side. She raised her hands in front of her eyes, still a little shocked and uncertain. Because she had practiced the Nine Yin White Bone Claw, she had purposely kept her nails very long. It was said to be nails, but in reality, every nail was sharp and tough, and no different from a dagger. But in this instant of contact, two of her nails had actually been shaved off!
Originally, the yellow-robed woman was very conceited, and thought that no one in her age group was a match for her, but unfortunately, Xiao Long Nu's sword attacks were too fast. Just now, in an instant, the two swords had stabbed, cut, and slashed, and in total, she had used more than thirty moves. If the yellow-robed woman had not practiced the Nine Yin Manual since she was young, and her inner strength was deeper than Xiao Long Nu's, in that exchange just now, she would not have broken her nails, but her fingers.
After Xiao Long Nu forced the yellow-robed woman back, she did not chase after her, but rushed unhesitatingly in the direction of Zhao Gou.
But although the yellow-robed woman had not stopped Xiao Long Nu just now, she had bought that moment of time, and in that moment, several figures surrounded Zhao Gou to protect him. It was the most mysterious imperial weapon in the Imperial Palace, and the two leading them were Ding Dian and Linghu Chong, who was disguised as Wu Tiande.
"Shadowless Fist!" Seeing Xiao Long Nu rush over, Ding Dian shouted angrily, and attacked with a fist. He had mastered the Godly Illumination Technique, and the power of this fist was unimaginable. In the Jianghu, there were probably not many people who could take it head on.
Xiao Long Nu's delicate brows furrowed slightly, and the sword in her left hand shot out, as fast as lightning, stabbing towards Ding Dian's wrist. Ding Dian's fist instantly sank, intending to use the opportunity to break the sword in her hand, but who knew that there would be an "Ah" sound by his ear. It turned out that Zhao Gou, who was standing behind him, had already been hit.
