Unknowingly, the two had returned to the gate of Prince Qi's Mansion. Song Qingshu stopped and said, "You said that you lost track of the Loyal Army when you reached Bamboo Pole Alley?"
"Yes." Luo Bing nodded as she recalled, "I was too focused on finding the Loyal Army. As a result, I was plotted against by Jia Zhen's subordinates and was captured."
"Bamboo Pole Alley …" Song QingShu closed his eyes and the map of Lin 'an emerged in his mind. He was lost in thought.
"Brother Song!" Lin Pingzhi was anxiously waiting for news at the gate of Prince Qi's Mansion. Seeing him from afar, he hurriedly ran out and was stunned when he saw the beautiful Luo Bing beside him. However, he quickly recovered and asked, "Have you found their whereabouts?"
Song Qingshu shook his head and Lin Pingzhi suddenly showed a look of disappointment.
"You don't have to worry too much. Although I haven't rescued them, I have some clues now. I still need to sort out my thoughts. You continue to stay here and deal with the feedback from all sides. If there is any progress, inform me."
Lin Pingzhi originally wanted to say that he would go out to look for them. However, after thinking that he would have no clue even if he went out, he nodded and agreed.
Song QingShu led Luo Bing back to the inner hall. Chen Yuanyuan had been sitting there restlessly for a long time. Seeing him return, she welcomed him with joy. However, she suddenly noticed the woman beside him and abruptly stopped in her tracks. "QingShu, this is?"
"Sister Yuanyuan, this is Luo Bing. She is an old acquaintance of mine and also a good friend of Li Yuanzhi." Song Qingshu had no time to consider the two women's thoughts at this time and casually introduced.
"Hello ~" Chen Yuanyuan very politely smiled at Luo Bing, but in her heart, she was thinking, old acquaintance? It seems that they are old lovers …
"Hello, Sister Yuanyuan." While Chen Yuanyuan was looking at Luo Bing, Luo Bing was also looking at her. She was shocked by the beauty of the woman in front of her and was somewhat fascinated by her.
"Song Qingshu is really a romantic by nature." Luo Bing secretly curled her lips. How could she not see that if she was not at the side just now, Chen Yuanyuan would have jumped into the arms of Song Qingshu.
"Qingshu, have you found the whereabouts of Miss Ren and the others?" Chen Yuanyuan came to Song Qingshu's side and asked with concern.
Song Qingshu shook his head and did not answer. Instead, he concentrated on unfolding a map of Lin 'an City and began to study it. After looking at it for a while, he thought of something and casually told Chen Yuanyuan, "Sister Yuanyuan, Luo Bing is tired from the long journey and has just escaped from prison. Take her to wash and have a rest."
"Okay." Chen Yuanyuan held Luo Bing's hand. "Sister Luo Bing, come with me."
Luo Bing had indeed exhausted her mind during this period of time. Now that she was able to relax, she immediately felt as if her eyelids were filled with lead. Hearing this, she smiled and said, "Thank you, Sister Yuanyuan ~"
After the two girls left, Song Qingshu looked at the map and fell into deep thought. Not long after, Lin Pingzhi came with Chen Youliang.
"Young Master, I've already arranged for the brothers in the gang to visit all over the city. They've already searched 20% of the area, but there's still no news for the time being." Chen Youliang looked anxious and fearful. After all, Ren Yingying's identity was special. If something happened, she would vent her anger on him.
But Song Qingshu did not blame him. Lin 'an City was so big that Chen Youliang could arrange everything in such a short time and search one-fifth of the area, which was already very rare.
"Send more people around Bamboo Pole Alley to have a try." Song Qingshu pointed to a place on the map and ordered.
"Yes." Chen Youliang did not ask why and where to search. After all, these days, Song Qingshu had become almost omnipotent in his heart. Since he said so, he must have his reasons.
Looking at the sound of Chen Youliang and Lin Pingzhi leaving, Song Qingshu could not help but pinch his forehead. In fact, he did not have much hope for Bamboo Pole Alley. After all, Luo Bing was lost there, but it did not mean that those people were hiding nearby.
"Ying Ying, if they dare to touch even a single strand of your hair, I will make sure that the entire Loyal Army is buried with you." Song QingShu's eyes flashed with a vicious light as he spoke.
At this time, in a house in Lin 'an City, Ren Yingying and Yue Lingshan were locked in a room with the windows sealed. Speaking of the two women, one righteous and the other evil, and because they were rivals in love, the relationship between them was not very good. In particular, when Ren Yingying saw Yue Lingshan, she could not help but think of the time when Linghu Chong poured out his love for her junior sister to her in Green Bamboo Alley, and her heart was sour. Yue Lingshan thought that Linghu Chong was driven out by his father because he was greedy for Ren Yingying's beauty, so the two women did not like each other.
However, Ren Yingying was graceful and magnanimous, and Yue Lingshan was also a kind woman, so she did not show her disgust on her face. On the surface, she could still maintain etiquette and politeness.
Especially at this time, when they were both in trouble, looking at the acquaintance in front of them, there was a sense of closeness.
"Miss Ren, who do you think these people are?" Yue Lingshan crossed her arms, and there was a faint tremble in her voice.
After all, Ren Yingying was the Holy Maiden of Sun Moon Sect, and she had seen more storms and waves than Yue Lingshan. At this time, she was very calm. "I don't know, but I think it's Chong …" Glancing at Yue Lingshan, she swallowed the word "brother" and changed her words, "I think it's your senior brother's rival."
"Ah? That senior brother is dead drunk and has no strength to resist at all. Will he be in danger now? "Yue Lingshan was anxious.
Ren Yingying shook her head. "Just now, they obviously caught Linghu Chong, but in the end, they only caught the two of us. From their tone, it seems that they are threatening him to do something, so you don't have to worry, Miss Yue. In a short time, whether it is us or your senior brother, we will not be in danger."
Hearing her calm tone, Yue Lingshan seemed to be infected and gradually calmed down. She could not help but say, "Miss Ren, aren't you afraid at all?"
Ren Yingying smiled faintly. "Because I know that someone will come back to save me." When she said this, it was unknown who she was thinking of, but her expression was extremely complicated.
"That's true." Yue Lingshan nodded. "Brother Chong likes you so much, he will definitely risk his life to save you."
Ren Yingying frowned, thinking that Brother Chong clearly likes you so much, but in the end, she opened her mouth and said nothing.
Yue Lingshan suddenly frowned. "I don't know if Xiao Lin can find this place, but even if he does, he is no match for these people …"
Ren Yingying was about to comfort her, but Yue Lingshan seemed to remember something, and the dejection on her face was swept away. "Right, there is also Brother Song. Brother Song is very skilled in martial arts, there is nothing in this world that he cannot do. He will definitely come to save us."
Hearing her mention Song Qingshu, Ren Yingying had a strange expression on her face, but in the end, she still agreed with her words. If there was really someone who could save them, it would definitely not be Lin Pingzhi, nor would it be Linghu Chong. It would most likely be that man.
Yue Lingshan suddenly remembered what happened at the banquet just now, and secretly looked at Ren Yingying's expression. After hesitating for a while, she tentatively asked, "Miss Ren, Brother Chong likes you so much, and because of you, he was not accepted by the righteous path. Why did you marry Brother Song in the end?"
Although she had received a lot of kindness from Song Qingshu over the years, she and Linghu Chong were childhood friends. Not only did she treat him as her brother, but she also had a hazy layer of feelings for him. In addition, she had always been clear about love and hate, and she was not that calculative. In her heart, she felt that it was unfair for Linghu Chong, so she directly said it.
Ren Yingying's expression darkened. "Too many things have happened in this period of time, and I don't know what to say. I can only blame fate for playing tricks on people."
"What do you mean by fate playing tricks on people? I think there must be a misunderstanding between you and Eldest Senior Brother," Yue Lingshan said with a frown. "In my opinion, why don't you open up and find Brother Song together? With Brother Song's character, he might choose to help you."
"Song Qingshu's character?" Ren Yingying's expression was strange, and she glanced at Yue Lingshan unhappily. She thought to herself, You haven't seen his demonic side. If he had the intention to do something to you, do you think you and Lin Pingzhi could still be together so happily?
Seeing that Yue Lingshan still wanted to say something, Ren Yingying felt a wave of annoyance. Comparing the two's experiences, she somewhat hated the other's carefree appearance. She couldn't help but coldly say, "Why do you have to pretend to be a good person here? Linghu Chong clearly likes you. I don't believe that you can't feel it."
"I …" Yue Lingshan opened her mouth, but found that she didn't know how to refute. After all, she wasn't blind. How could she not see Linghu Chong's affection for her?
Ren Yingying said the words that had been bottled up in her heart for a long time, and she felt a lot more relaxed. However, as soon as the words left her mouth, she felt a little regretful. In this way, how was she different from those stupid women who were jealous of a man?
At this moment, the door was opened from the outside, and the leader of the men in black from before walked in. His gaze swept over the two women, and then he waved his hand. There were already subordinates who ran up to Yue Lingshan, wanting to take her away.
"Ah ~" Yue Lingshan couldn't help but exclaim. A few burly men were taking her away in the middle of the night. No matter how she looked at it, it didn't seem like anything good was going to happen. Thinking of some of the possible scenarios, her small face became pale.
Ren Yingying hurriedly ran in front of Yue Lingshan, and opened her arms to protect her: "What are you doing?"
Although she didn't like them very much in her heart, she couldn't sit back and watch them in danger.
The man in black also couldn't help laughing: "Oh, Miss Ren, as far as I know, Miss Yue of the Huashan Sect used to be your rival in love. If something happens to her, shouldn't you be happy?"
Ren Yingying's face turned cold, and she said coldly: "I don't understand what you are talking about. I am Song Qingshu's wife. Unless Miss Yue also likes my husband, how could she become my rival in love?"
Although she couldn't wait to cancel this engagement not long ago, she was not stupid. Now, at this critical moment, she naturally had to make good use of this relationship. After all, in these years, Song Qingshu's martial arts had shaken the world, and his power had also dominated a region. Now, he had also become the Prince of Qi conferred by the Kingdom of Song … Deliberately reminding the other party of her identity was to make him hesitate to take action.
The leader of the men in black sneered: "You don't have to use the name of Song to suppress me. To tell you the truth, Song is our number one enemy. This time, we came to Lin 'an for him."
Ren Yingying was shocked. Only then did she realize that her and Yue Lingshan's previous speculation were all wrong.
"Take her away!" The leader of the men in black was too lazy to talk nonsense with her, and directly turned to leave. Several men pushed Ren Yingying away, picked up Yue Lingshan, and walked out.
Now that Ren Yingying's internal force was sealed, there was no way for her to save Yue Lingshan. She could only helplessly knock on the door from behind. Thinking of the violence that Yue Lingshan was likely to encounter, two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks, and her lips were almost bleeding from biting her teeth: Song, why haven't you come yet!

Now the situation was so serious that even a political struggle could be considered as a result.
