Jia Zhen sighed: "This is Uncle's opinion. If we directly threaten him, it will be disadvantageous. Maybe Han Xingzhou will use this to attack the result of the competition. Moreover, this method is done without a trace. Even if Han Xingzhou finds out later, he can only blame Wu Tiande for not being able to control himself and not being able to use this as an excuse to attack. As the saying goes, one has to suffer in silence. "
"I see. Jia Shixian is really far-sighted. I admire you!" Zhao Shicheng praised Jia Zhen, but he sneered inwardly when he saw Jia Zhen's depressed expression. He didn't know who was the one who had to suffer in silence.
Jia Zhen was not in the mood to continue chatting with him at this time. He cupped his hands and said: "I have to go back to report the result to Uncle and comfort Keqing. I won't stay here any longer. Goodbye."
"Take care, Benwang won't send you off." Zhao Shicheng shook his head inwardly. A woman was given away by the man she loved to another man. Her heart was already riddled with holes. It wasn't something that could be recovered with just a few words of comfort.
"Benwang, please wait!" Jia Zhen cupped his hands and hurriedly ran away.
Looking at his departing figure, Zhao Shicheng was deep in thought. Suddenly, he heard a faint sigh: "Benwang, did you harm someone again last night?"
Zhao Shicheng looked back and saw his wife, Tang Wan, standing not far behind him with a worried expression. He couldn't help but quickly walk over to support her: "Why did Madam get up so early? The dew in the garden is heavy and cold. Quickly go back to your room and rest."
Tang Wan sighed: "You didn't return to your room last night. How could I sleep? I heard from the servants that you were at Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant. I knew you had something to do, so I didn't dare to disturb you. Now that you're almost done, I came to take a look."
Zhao Shicheng held his wife's hand, his eyes full of tenderness: "It's all benwang's fault for making Madam worry."
Tang Wan shook her head. Looking in the direction Jia Zhen disappeared, she said faintly: "Benwang, you have a noble status. Outsiders think that you never participate in the court's struggles, but as your wife, how can I not know that you are secretly biased towards one side? However, political struggles have always been incomparably treacherous. Why does Wangye want to get involved in this vortex? "
"Furen, don't worry, ben wang knows what to do," Zhao Shicheng's eyes flashed. He thought that if he was satisfied with being a wang ye, there was naturally no need to participate in the struggles of the court, but if he wanted to go further …
They were all descendants of Emperor Taizong, so why should they have different fates!
Seeing that Tang Wan still wanted to say something, Zhao Shicheng held her and said, "Madam, let me help you back to the room to rest."
Tang Wan opened her mouth but didn't say anything in the end. She just let him help her back.
As for Song Qingshu, he soon noticed that someone was tailing him after he came out of the Duke Beijing Residence. He couldn't help but sneer secretly. It seemed that the other party had really gone to the extreme. He didn't make a sound and pretended to walk in the direction of the palace. Halfway through, he suddenly sped up and completely shook off the tail of the person tailing him.
He then used his lightness skill and hurried to the Han Residence, where Han Chuan Zhou was already waiting for him.
Before Song Qingshu opened his mouth, Han Chuan Zhou asked first, "What kind of trap was there in the Duke Beijing Residence last night?" Although Duke Beijing's position was uncertain, his keen sense of smell as a politician made him very sure that it was definitely a trap last night.
Song Qingshu frowned, but still answered, "Last night, Duke Beijing asked me to help taste the wine …"
"Was it drugged in the wine?" Han Chuan Zhou quickly denied this speculation. "No, if it was drugged, it would be easy to leave something behind. Jia Shidao wouldn't be so unwise."
Song Qingshu nodded and said, "Yes, tasting the wine was only one of the tricks. The final trump card was the beauty trap …" Then he told him about how they sent a woman who knew how to use the Seduction Technique. Of course, he hid many details, and naturally didn't reveal Qin Keqing's identity.
"It was really a vicious trap. If it weren't for you, Qingshu, this time, Tiande would have definitely fallen into the trap." Han Chuan Zhou looked very lucky. "His essence, Qi, and spirit would have been sucked dry by those evil women. He would have lost today's competition, and he wouldn't be able to get even with them afterward … It's all thanks to you."
Song Qingshu waved his hand and said, "Save the pleasantries. Now, shouldn't Jiefu tell me where Huang Rong is?"
Han Chuan Zhou smiled and said slowly, "I heard that you have mobilized all kinds of forces to look for her in Lin 'an City, and Jia Shidao has also sent his people to look for her. You have almost turned Lin' an City upside down, but you still haven't found Gang Leader Huang. Have you ever wondered why?"
"I've been wondering about this. Is Huang Rong in Jiefu's hands?" Song Qingshu looked at him meaningfully.
Han Chuan Zhou hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Qingshu, you overestimate me. Although I have some power, I can't hide from you and Jia Shidao at the same time."
"Oh?" Song Qingshu thought that it was true. If he could really do it so flawlessly, Jia Shidao wouldn't be able to compete with him at all. "Then where is she now?"
Han Chuan Zhou didn't answer directly. Instead, he revealed a mysterious smile and said, "In fact, the answer is very obvious. In the entire Lin 'an City, if someone can disappear into thin air under the eyes of you, me, and Jia Shidao, then they must be more powerful than us …"
He paused and didn't finish his words. Song Qingshu's eyes lit up, and he suddenly understood. Han Chuan Zhou and Jia Shidao were powerful in the imperial court. In the entire Lin 'an City, who else could be more powerful than them except the emperor?
"Why didn't I think of that?" Song Qingshu slapped his thigh and almost jumped up. In fact, it wasn't his fault. Since he saved Li Yuanzhi and Chen Yuanyuan, he didn't want to stay in the palace anymore, so he subconsciously ignored this place.
Thinking that Huang Rong had been missing for so many days, Song Qingshu was burning with anxiety. He couldn't wait to rescue her immediately. But he soon remembered that it was almost dawn. People in ancient times got up very early. At this time, all the people in the palace might be up. If he wanted to break in at this time, his identity would be exposed if he was careless.
Han Chuan Zhou seemed to have read his mind. He smiled and said, "The competition for the position of commander will be held in the palace today. Qingshu, why don't you go to the palace with me?"
Song QingShu's heart skipped a beat. It would be a good idea to enter the Imperial Palace under the guise of the martial arts competition, especially when everyone's attention would be drawn to the martial arts competition. He could then go and rescue Huang Rong.
"Do you know where Huang Rong is locked up?" Song Qingshu suddenly realized that if she wasn't in the palace, he would have come here for nothing.
Han Chuan Zhou smiled and said, "I can only tell you that going to the palace today to watch the competition for the position of commander should be rewarding."
Song QingShu nodded. When it came to the Emperor, a wily old fox like Han Xingzhou would definitely not reveal everything. However, he had already made it clear enough. Since he said this, he must have found out through special channels that Huang Rong was indeed hidden in the Imperial Palace.
"Then let's go now." Song Qingshu made an inviting gesture.
Han Chuan Zhou suddenly looked at him with a strange expression. "Qingshu, you have been fighting all night. Don't you need to rest?"
Song Qingshu shook his head. "No problem."
Han Chuan Zhou suddenly said in an envious tone, "It's so good to be young!"
…
Although Song Qingshu said it casually, he still took a nap in the sedan on the way to the palace. After all, his body wasn't made of iron.
The sedan stopped in front of the palace gate. Song Qingshu found that there were too many people gathered outside the palace. In addition to the officials who were qualified to enter the palace, there were also many low-level officers and Jianghu people waiting outside the gate. Obviously, they wanted to know the results of the competition as soon as possible.
Not long after, the palace gate opened, and all the officials came to the court. Song Qingshu was now King Qi, so he was qualified to enter. As for the rest of the people, they weren't so lucky. They were strictly stopped outside the gate by the imperial palace guards.
On the way to the throne room, Song Qingshu suddenly saw Murong Fu in the crowd. He seemed to be talking to Jia Shidao about something. Song Qingshu walked over and said, "Jia Shumi …"
Jia Shidao looked up and was surprised. He returned the greeting and said, "King Qi."
The two chatted casually, and Song Qingshu suddenly said to Murong Fu, "Prince Murong, long time no see."
"Long time no see." Looking at the high-spirited man in front of him, Murong Fu couldn't help but feel that the world was unpredictable. A few years ago, he was the famous Nan Murong, and this man was just an abandoned disciple of the Wudang Sect with all the meridians in his body broken. But in just a few years, this man had grown to be someone that Murong Fu had to look up to, both in terms of martial arts and power.
At that moment, Murong Fu was suddenly full of frustration. He felt that he would never be able to catch up to this man in front of him. However, he quickly came to his senses. He was a descendant of the Yan Dynasty, and he had the ambition to restore the country. He was destined to be an emperor in the future. No matter how powerful Song Qingshu was, he was just a king.
With this thought, his fighting spirit was instantly ignited. So, he had to defeat that Wu Tiande today and take control of the military in Sichuan. When he went to Sichuan, he would manage it for two years, and with Sichuan as the foundation, he would restore the glory of the Yan Dynasty.
Although Murong Fu didn't say it out loud, Song Qingshu could feel the changes in the atmosphere with his current cultivation. He looked at Murong Fu thoughtfully, then smiled and asked, "Why didn't I see Miss Wang this time? Miss Wang is familiar with all the martial arts in the world. With her guidance, you will have a higher chance of winning. "
When Jia Shidao heard "familiar with all the martial arts in the world," a look of disdain flashed in his eyes. Although it disappeared in a flash, Song Qingshu still caught it.
Song Qingshu wasn't surprised at all. Wang Yuyan was only familiar with some common martial arts. She didn't have the chance to see the real top martial arts, and Jia Shidao, as the master of the Isle of Heroes, naturally wouldn't care about it.
"Some time ago, my aunt sent a letter to Mantuo Villa. My cousin left immediately after receiving the letter. I asked her what was written in the letter, but she didn't tell me." Murong Fu answered with a wry smile. Obviously, he was a little dissatisfied with Wang Yuyan's reservation. However, he had always been a little afraid of his beautiful aunt, so he didn't dare to bully his timid cousin.
