"You guessed it?" Song Qingshu couldn't help laughing. He didn't expect Shui Sheng to be so funny.
Li Qingluo's face darkened. If it wasn't for the fact that she was Song QingShu's friend, with her usual temperament, she might have directly used her as fertilizer.
"Why did you guess so?" Worried that Li Qingluo would explode, Song Qingshu hurried to smooth things over.
Seeing their reaction, Shui Sheng thought she had said something wrong. She lowered her voice, "Uncle Liu's clansman is called Liu Yunsheng …"
"Liu Yunsheng?" Song Qingshu was confused. He had never heard of this person.
Li Qingluo was so excited that she grabbed Shui Sheng's hand, "Is that person really called Liu Yunsheng?"
"Yes ~" Shui Sheng was shocked by her reaction and nodded subconsciously.
"Who is this Liu Yunsheng? Why are you so excited?" Song Qingshu couldn't help but ask. Xiao Long Nu also looked at her curiously.
Li Qingluo sighed and a look of reminiscence appeared on her face. She began to narrate the events of the past: "That year, little uncle was framed by Qin Hui. Moqi Xue was sent to investigate this case. At that time, the Minister of the Supreme Court, Li Ruopu and He Yanyou, both believed that little uncle was not guilty. They argued with Moqi Xue and both were dismissed from their positions. Other than the people of the imperial court crying out for Yue Fei's innocence, the common people were also in an uproar. Among them, the most famous was the commoner Liu Yunsheng, who submitted a petition to seek redress for his uncle's injustice. In the end, the Supreme Court was already under the control of that bastard Moqi Chu, and he ordered his execution. "
Song QingShu's countenance changed with fright and he could not help but praise, "What a virtuous and righteous man!" Even Xiao Longnu's countenance changed several times upon hearing this.
Shui Sheng then said, "Before Liu Yunsheng submitted the memorial, he knew that he would not be able to escape death, so he found the famous' Soft Cloud Sword 'Liu Chengfeng, who is also my father's sworn brother, and asked him to go to Jiujiang to do something."
Li Qingluo exclaimed, "Before they came to Lin 'an, they lived on the edge of Mount Lu in Jiujiang!"
Xiao Long Nu couldn't help but ask, "Miss Shui, what happened after that?"
Even though they were both women, Shui Sheng was still amazed by her beauty. "Because Third Uncle was worried that something might happen along the way and that it would be difficult for him to handle it alone, he specially asked First Uncle, Benevolent and Righteous Lu Broadsword, Lu Tianshu, Second Uncle, Invincible of Zhongping, Hua Tiegan, and my father to go together."
Shui Sheng paused for a moment before continuing, "My father didn't say what he was going to do either. He only said that he and his brothers were very happy after rescuing Zhongliang."
Song QingShu couldn't help but sigh with emotion after hearing this. The reason why the "Fallen Flower and Flowing Water" was famous was probably because the four of them had fought against one expert of the same level, but in the end, they were killed by the Blood Knife Ancestor. This made them famous for their heaven-defying battle prowess. Their nickname, "Fallen Flower and Flowing Water", had also become a laughing stock. This was especially so for Hua Tiegan, who had sold out his friends for glory.
Previously in the Golden Snake Camp, Song Qingshu stopped Shui Sheng from killing Hua Tiegan mainly because the four of them had been chivalrous all their lives. They couldn't deny everything he had done just because of one mistake. Now it seemed that it was fortunate that they didn't do anything at that time. The four of them had saved Yue Fei's orphan, which was such a righteous act. If they had killed him, at this time, Song Qingshu would definitely be condemned by his conscience. Of course, he didn't know that Hua Tiegan had been killed by Ah Qing later because of courting death.
The more Li Qingluo thought about it, the more excited she became. She couldn't help but murmur to herself, "Then it all fits. When Liu Yunsheng submitted the letter, my uncle had not been killed yet, so Liu Chengfeng and the others went to Jiujiang in advance to rescue my cousins. Later, the killers sent by Qin Hui and Moqi Feng must have been afraid of being blamed by their superiors, so they all unified that they had completed the task. Even Qin Hui and Moqi Feng were deceived. No wonder no matter how hard I tortured those people, I couldn't get any useful information. It turns out that they were also deceived by those killers. "
Xiao Long Nu's eyes also bloomed with a glimmer of light, "Cousin, are you saying that my brothers might still be alive?"
"Yes," Li Qingluo nodded excitedly and looked at Shui Sheng with a face full of eagerness, "Miss Shui, did your father's notes record where they had saved those people?"
"He didn't say it clearly," Shui Sheng said hesitantly, "but the notes did mention a few places …"
"Where?" Li Qingluo hurriedly asked.
Shui Sheng shook her head, "I just casually flipped through the notes at that time and didn't pay much attention to those places. I can't remember them now."
"Did you bring your father's notes with you?" Li Qingluo asked, unwilling to give up.
Shui Sheng still shook her head and said apologetically, "No, it's in my hometown in Jinling."
Xiao Long Nu's face was full of disappointment. Li Qingluo hesitated for a moment, then looked at Shui Sheng and said, "Miss Shui, I have a presumptuous request. Can you take us to your hometown?"
"Of course." Shui Sheng didn't refuse.
"Why don't we set off immediately?" Li Qingluo said excitedly.
"Ah?" Shui Sheng looked at her in surprise.
Song QingShu furrowed his brows. "I've just arrived, and you want me to accompany you on your journey? This is indeed a presumptuous request."
Li Qingluo sighed faintly, "I also know that this request is a bit difficult, but I have been investigating this matter for 20 years. It's not easy for me to see hope, and I don't want to drag it out for too long."
"What do you mean by dragging it out for too long?" Song Qingshu asked curiously, "In any case, the court has already announced it to the world. When Young Masters Yue hear the news, they will naturally come to the capital. Why are you in such a hurry?"
Li Qingluo shook her head, "No, Moqi Chen and Zhang Jun have been Prime Ministers for so many years, they have already formed an incomparably large group. Now that the two of them are dead, there are still many remnants of them. For example, Zhang Rou, who is a loyal soldier in the Dabie Mountains but is actually a bandit. If they seek revenge for my master, my cousins will be in danger."
Song Qingshu frowned, knowing that what she said made sense. With the grudge between Moqi Chen and Zhang Jun's group and Yue Fei, there was no guarantee that they wouldn't take revenge on his children.
"Brother Song, you don't have to worry about me. I will bring these two sisters back to Jinling." Shui Sheng suddenly said.
"But you have been covered in dust from the journey. No matter what, you need to rest for a few days." Song Qingshu said with a heartache.
Shui Sheng shook her head and smiled, "Saving Young Masters Yue is the thing that my father is most proud of in his life. If something unexpected happened and caused all his efforts to be in vain, he would not be able to rest in peace. How can I become an unfilial daughter because of a little hardship?"
"This …" When Shui Sheng mentioned her father, Song Qingshu didn't know how to persuade her.
"Moreover …" Shui Sheng's face was slightly red. She glanced at Li Qingluo and Xiao Long Nu, revealing an expression of wanting to say something but hesitating.
"Cousin, let's go pack our luggage first." Li Qingluo tactfully pulled Xiao Long Nu out of the room.
Seeing that they had left, Shui Sheng said, "Brother Song, my father's body has not yet turned cold. According to the rules where I come from, I have to observe mourning for him for three years. This time, when I heard that something had happened to you, I specially came out. Now that I see that you are safe, I can rest assured."
Hearing her words, Song Qingshu's heart was filled with tenderness. He gently pulled her into his arms. Shui Sheng's face was slightly red, but she didn't refuse.
"Big Brother Song, I really want to be with you, but I really should go back to observe the mourning period for my father …" Shui Sheng leaned her face against his chest and felt his breath. Suddenly, she felt that the tiredness of the past few days had disappeared without a trace.
"In that case, I won't keep you any longer. When I finish my work, I will come to Jinling to find you." Song Qingshu said softly.
Shui Sheng's eyes suddenly lit up, "You must come, I will wait for you."
Seeing her excited look, Song Qingshu suddenly had the idea to tease her, "What if I accidentally forget?"
Shui Sheng snorted, "If you dare to forget, after I observe mourning for three years, I will come to find you and tell the world that you have abandoned me."
Hearing this, Song Qingshu was speechless, "Don't use this word carelessly, okay? When did I mess around with you?"
Shui Sheng's face also flashed a trace of shyness, she bit her lip and whispered, "You mess up my heart."
Hearing this, Song Qingshu's heart warmed up, and he lowered his head to kiss her lips.
With a cry, Shui Sheng hurriedly pushed him away, her face redder than rouge, and her whole body was shy and angry, "I am still observing mourning for my father now ~"
Only then did Song Qingshu realize that he had been rash, he hurriedly hugged her and coaxed her. With great difficulty, he made her change from angry to happy.
Not long after, Li Qingluo and Xiao Long Nu packed up their luggage. Although he was a little reluctant in his heart, Song Qingshu still sent the three of them to the carriage.
"Take good care of them." Before leaving, Song Qingshu told Li Qingluo.
Li Qingluo glanced at him with a faint smile, "Do you want me to take care of my cousin, or Miss Shui?"
"Of course, Miss Shui." Song QingShu saw through her thoughts and glared at her. Anyway, Xiao Longnu was his beloved cousin, and he would take good care of her even if he didn't say anything.
"You are smart." After a smile, Li Qingluo's voice became serious, "After we go to Jinling to find out the information, we should immediately leave for Jiujiang. Lin 'an City is treacherous, you should be careful, don't wait until the next time we come back, you are dead."
Song Qingshu's lips twitched, "Are you concerned about me or cursing me?"
"What do you think?" Li Qingluo turned around and boarded the carriage, leaving a string of coquettish laughter, "By the way, don't bully my female apprentice when I am not here."
Song Qingshu directly ignored her words and looked directly at Xiao Long Nu. Unfortunately, he didn't know whether there were other people present or something else, but Xiao Long Nu didn't mean to say goodbye to him and boarded the carriage early.
Noticing his gaze from the window, Xiao Longnu only gave him a slight nod before turning her gaze to the distance, causing Song QingShu to be extremely depressed. A while ago, we were clearly so close, why are we suddenly estranged from each other? Could it be that Li Qingluo, that witch, has said something bad about me in front of her?
Unfortunately, until the outline of the carriage disappeared from his sight, he still couldn't figure out the answer. For the first time, he sighed, "A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea."
Back to the room, looking at the empty house, Song Qingshu suddenly felt a little sad. It was lively before, but in a short time, it was empty.
