Another two days passed, and there was still no news of Huang Rong. Song QingShu stood by the window of the study and looked at the scenery in the distance. He fell into deep thought. The Beggar's Sect and the White Lotus Society were searching together. Logically speaking, even an ant should have been found. But now, there was still nothing …
He thought about the information he got from Guo Jing. Jia Shidao seemed to have sent his men to investigate, but they also found nothing.
"Who took Huang Rong?" Song Qingshu had a headache.
At this time, Ren Yingying came in with a plate. Seeing his worried face, she said softly, "Qingshu, have some lotus soup." She was a sensitive woman, and she realized that the relationship between her lover and Huang Rong was not normal, but she didn't think that way. After all, Guo Jing and Huang Rong were a famous couple in Jianghu, and Song Qingshu and she were in different positions. If there was something going on between them, it would be too shocking.
"Why did you come out? Let the maids do this." Seeing Yingying standing there timidly, with her slim waist as if it would be broken by the wind, Song Qingshu couldn't help but feel pity for her and ran over to help her.
"Ah." Feeling the warmth of his hand, Ren Yingying blushed. "I'm not that weak."
"You're badly injured, so you need to take care of yourself." Song Qingshu untied the plate for her and helped her sit down.
For some reason, Ren Yingying suddenly thought of what happened in the thatched cottage. The two of them had reached the climax of their intimacy, but because her body was too weak and she vomited blood, she couldn't help but feel her heart beating wildly. She hurriedly changed the topic, "Is there still no news of Chief Huang?"
"No." Song Qingshu smiled bitterly. "She seems to have suddenly disappeared from this world." Then he told her about the Beggar Gang, the White Lotus Society, and even the results of the investigation with Jia Shidao.
Ren Yingying frowned slightly. "It doesn't make sense. Jia Shidao used his power in the government, but they still couldn't find any clues."
"I'm also wondering about it." Song Qingshu frowned. "It seems that another mysterious force took her away. That force might be more powerful than Jia Shidao, the Beggar Gang, and the White Lotus Society. But is there such a force in Jing City?"
Ren Yingying suddenly thought of something and said in an uncertain tone, "Why don't you check with Han Kaizhou? He's the only one in Lin 'an who can compete with Jia Shidao. "
Song QingShu's eyes lit up as if he was suddenly enlightened. "That's right, it might really be with Han Xingzhou!"
The reason why he hadn't thought of that was because of his habitual thinking. When Ren Yingying and Huang Rong had been kidnapped for the first time, it seemed that Han Kaizhou and Jia Shidao had done it. However, he had quickly figured out that someone had deliberately framed them, and the subsequent developments had proven his theory. Therefore, when Huang Rong had been kidnapped, he had subconsciously ruled out Han Kaizhou and Jia Shidao as suspects.
But now, he suddenly realized that the first time Huang Rong was robbed, it was indeed not Han Xingzhou's instruction, but it did not mean that he was not the one who was robbed the second time! In particular, the two black-clothed masters injured the guards in the Prince's Mansion but did not kill them. It must be because of the friendship between the two sides, so he specially ordered his men not to take things too far …
The more Song Qingshu thought about it, the more he felt it made sense. He couldn't help but hug Ren Yingying and kiss her on the cheek. "Yingying, you're really my good wife, mana ~"
Ren Yingying blushed and tried to push him away. After all, she had always been reserved and proud. She was not used to expressing herself in such a passionate way.
Unfortunately, before she could get angry, Song Qingshu had already run out. As he ran, he waved at her and said, "I'm going to check Han Xingzhou's place first. I'll be back soon."
Watching him disappear outside the door, Ren Yingying had nowhere to vent her anger and humiliation. In the end, it turned into a chuckle. She caressed the place on her face where he had just kissed, and her whole person became more and more charming. What a lecherous lecher, he always finds a way to take advantage of me ~
After a while, her eyes fell on the lotus seed soup that had not been touched and was still steaming. Her smile froze and her mouth gradually pouted.
When Song Qingshu came to the Han Mansion, he wanted to sneak in and check, but he gave up the idea in the end. On the one hand, it was easy to be exposed in broad daylight. On the other hand, they were still in a honeymoon period, so there was no need to test him. He could just ask him about it. If he couldn't get an answer, he could come back at night.
After making up his mind, he openly walked to the gate. Hearing that the new King of Qi had come to visit, the gatekeeper was shocked. He sent someone to inform his master while he welcomed him in with a smile. He clearly knew that the new King of Qi had a good relationship with his master, so he didn't let him wait outside.
Not long after, Han Xingzhou came out with a smile. "Qingshu, what brings you here today?" In order to show their closeness, the two had agreed to call each other by their names.
Song Qingshu didn't stand on ceremony and went straight to the point. "This time, I came to ask Jiefu about Huang Rong's whereabouts." As he spoke, he stared into Han Xingzhou's eyes to see if there were any changes in his expression.
Hearing his question, Han Xingzhou was startled. He then smiled and said, "Actually, even if you didn't come today, I was planning to visit you."
"Oh, it seems that Huang Rong is really here." Song Qingshu snorted. Thinking about how he had been searching for Huang Rong these past few days, his complexion immediately became unsightly.
Han Xingzhou smiled and shook his head. "Qingshu, you misunderstand. How could Gang Leader Huang be here? However, not long ago, I received news that I know where she is."
"Oh, where?" Song Qingshu immediately became spirited and asked.
Han Xingzhou smiled but didn't say anything. Instead, he raised his teacup and slowly took a sip.
"This old fox!" Song Qingshu couldn't help but curse. Seeing Han Xingzhou's appearance, how could he not understand that Han Xingzhou was taking advantage of the situation to raise the price?
However, for Huang Rong's sake, he had to endure. Song Qingshu squeezed out a smile. "If Jiefu can tell me Huang Rong's whereabouts, this brother will be eternally grateful. I will go through water and tread on fire without hesitation."
"Qingshu, you are too kind." Han Xingzhou immediately put down his teacup and said with a smile, "What is our relationship? Why are you still talking about this?"
Song Qingshu couldn't help but curse. If it weren't for Huang Rong's safety, he would have torn off Han Xingzhou's goatee one by one.
Han Xingzhou then changed the topic and said, "However, my brother has encountered a difficult situation today, and I really don't know how to deal with it. If you can help me, Qingshu, that would be great."
"Jiefu, please go ahead." Song Qingshu smiled, but he was secretly greeting his ancestor.
Han Xingzhou said with a smile, "Here's the thing. Tomorrow, there will be a martial arts competition in the palace …"
Song Qingshu was shocked. It turned out that the day of the martial arts competition had already arrived. He had been so busy looking for Huang Rong that he hadn't even noticed the passage of time.
Suddenly thinking of something, Song Qingshu asked, "Is Jia Shidao still sending Guo Jing to participate?" He had thought that if even he was like this, Guo Jing wouldn't care about the martial arts competition at all.
As expected, Han Xingzhou shook his head and said, "They have already replaced him. It seems that Guo Jing is not in a good condition to participate in the martial arts competition anymore."
Song QingShu sighed. Guo Jing had missed such a good opportunity. Who knew how long he would have to wait for the next time he had a similar opportunity. Suddenly, a thought occurred to him and he asked, "Who was it?"
"The famous Murong Fu of Gusu," Han Xingzhou answered.
"Him?" Song Qingshu had a strange expression on his face. He looked at Han Xingzhou with a faint smile and said, "This is good for you. Murong Fu is no match for Ling … Wu Tiande."
Hearing this, Han Xingzhou couldn't hide his joy even though he tried to suppress it. He said, "That's what my advisor said. I was a little worried, but after hearing what you said, Qingshu, I'm sure of it."
Song Qingshu was stunned. Only then did he realize that his status in the martial arts world had reached a level where his words carried enormous weight. Thinking of how embarrassed he was when he first entered this world, he couldn't help but feel that it was a lifetime ago.
Shaking his head to dispel the thoughts in his mind, Song Qingshu looked back at Han Xingzhou and said, "In that case, what else is bothering you?"
"Well, I'm certainly not worried about anything if it's a fair fight, but I'm afraid that Jia Shidao will play some dirty tricks." Han Xingzhou sighed.
"Dirty tricks?" Song Qingshu raised his eyebrows and thought, "Huang Rong's disappearance caused Guo Jing to forfeit, and Jia Shidao had to replace him. I don't know if that's a dirty trick."
Han Xingzhou took out an invitation from his sleeve and handed it over. He said with a wry smile, "Well, here comes the dirty tricks."
Song QingShu took it and saw that the invitation card was exceptionally exquisite. The frame was embroidered with silver thread, and the grade of it was instantly different from the ordinary invitation card. When he opened it, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Duke Beijing invited Wu Tiande to attend the banquet?"
"Yes." Han Xingzhou looked serious. "Tomorrow is the fight. It's obviously not a good idea to invite Tiande to a banquet at this time."
"Is King Beijing on Jia Shidao's side?" Song Qingshu asked curiously.
"I'm not sure about that." Han Xingzhou looked hesitant and then said, "He has always been kind and has always had a good relationship with the ministers in the court. But I know that although he looks kind, he is actually very estranged from the others. At the same time, I know that he is not on my side. Now that he suddenly appeared at this critical moment, I even have reason to believe that he is on Jia Shidao's side. "
"Can't you just not go?" Song Qingshu asked curiously. He didn't understand what Han Xingzhou was thinking.
"If only it could be that simple." Han Xingzhou smiled bitterly. "King Beijing's identity is very special. Uh … Anyway, it's not a wise choice to refuse his invitation. What's more, he told the emperor about this in advance. He has already persuaded the emperor, so I have no choice but to go."
"I see …" Song Qingshu couldn't help but think of all kinds of scenes in the Shen Garden. Zhao Shicheng, Tang Wan, Lu You … Things were getting more and more interesting.
"Since there is no way to refuse, just go. How can I help you?" Song Qingshu asked curiously.
"Ahem, of course we have to go. But if we let Tiande jump into a trap when we know it's a trap, isn't it obvious that we are being plotted against? So …" Han Xingzhou glanced at Song QingShu and said with a chuckle, "Can you go there for Tiande?"

Ren Yingying was full of anger. Yingman was also a forbidden word!
