Song Qingshu nodded. "Yes, the imperial court is going on a northern expedition. Now that the Golden Snake Camp and the Southern Song Dynasty have formed an alliance, I have to go back to lead the Golden Snake Camp and cooperate with them."
Ren Yingying hurriedly said, "Then I will come back with you."
Song Qingshu shook his head. "The Southern Song Dynasty is in urgent need of manpower. I still need you to stay here and help me manage the overall situation. Next, Prince Qi's Mansion, the Beggar Gang, and even the White Lotus Cult will need you to organize them. "
"You are giving me such an important task?" Ren Yingying said with a guilty conscience. "I am afraid that I will ruin your plan."
Song Qingshu smiled. "Don't worry. Luo Bing will help you. Next, I will transfer Lu Guanying here to help. If you encounter any problems in the future, you can ask Ding Dian with the imperial equipment and Madam Wang of Mantuo Villa for help."
"Madam Wang?" Ren Yingying's ears pricked up when she heard the words "Madam Wang".
Song Qingshu had to admit that women were very sensitive. Suddenly, he noticed that Chen Yuanyuan and He Tieshou were looking at him. He hurriedly smiled and said, "I will tell you when I am free … By the way, where is Madam Guo?"
"After sending Hero Guo away, Madam Guo was very disappointed. She is pregnant and easily tired, so she went back to her room to rest," Ren Yingying answered.
"While Madam Guo is here, you can ask her about the Beggar Gang. Next, you will need to completely control the Beggar Gang in Jiangnan." Song Qingshu had been busy with all kinds of things. Although the Beggar Gang now listened to his command, in fact, he only controlled Chen Youliang. This kind of control was very fragile. Only by arranging his trusted subordinates in the middle and lower levels of the Beggar Gang could he completely control the Beggar Gang.
"Okay, I will go and ask Madam Guo now." Ren Yingying turned around and left somewhat sullenly.
Song Qingshu noticed the disappointment in her eyes. He wanted to explain, but he hesitated and swallowed his words.
"Young Master, you made Miss Ren angry. Shouldn't you go and comfort her?" He Tieshou said gloatingly.
"Yingying isn't that petty. You don't have to look like you want the world to be in chaos." Song Qingshu glared at her. "Let's talk about the brothel now."
"You keep saying 'brothel'. It sounds weird. The scholars in Jiangnan love to be cultured, so a good name is necessary," Chen Yuanyuan said.
"That makes sense. Young Master, you are a peerless genius. Why don't you give it a name?" He Tieshou said with a smile. His eyes revealed a trace of craftiness.
Chen Yuanyuan frowned and said, "There is no shortage of talents in Lin 'an. Each and every one of them has very high standards. I'm afraid it will be very difficult for ordinary names to enter their eyes." From his words, it was obvious that he did not think highly of Song Qingshu. Although his martial arts were formidable and he could be considered a famous general in battle, no one had ever heard of him having any literary talent.
"It's just a name. Is it so difficult?" Song Qingshu snorted. "Let's call this shop in Lin 'an Heavenly World." You want to make things difficult for me? Those names in Dongguan in the future are more talented than the other. Any one of them will be able to blind you.
"Heavenly World?" The two girls stared blankly. Both of them silently recited the name.
Chen Yuanyuan took the lead and said, "This name has some elegance. I didn't expect young master to have such talent." As she spoke, her eyes were no longer as angry as before. Instead, they softened somewhat.
He Tieshou had originally wanted to deliberately tease him. However, he had no choice but to admit that this name was very good.
"I have already solved the most important part of the name. The following details will be for you two to discuss. While I am still here, I will help you two get through the joints of the government. This will prevent you two from being made difficult." After giving his instructions, Song Qingshu left, letting them familiarize themselves with each other and discuss.
After leaving the residence, Song QingShu originally intended to pay a visit to the relevant officials. However, just as he was about to leave the residence, he suddenly realized that he was now the grand Prince of Qi. Why would he need to personally pay a visit to those insignificant officials? As a result, he dispatched his subordinates with invitations, inviting the officials of Lin 'an and the Musical House to come to the Prince of Qi's residence.
Over the next few days, Song Qingshu was busy meeting with the various officials, introducing He Tieshou to them and asking them to take care of him. Those officials naturally readily agreed. It must be known that the Prince of Qi was in the limelight these days. To be able to establish a relationship with the Prince of Qi through this channel was all they could wish for.
They did not expect that the boss behind this brothel was the Prince of Qi. After all, in the mainstream view, the esteemed Prince of Qi had no need to be involved in this kind of thing. They only believed that Song Qingshu was doing this on a whim to gain He Tieshou's favor. After all, He Tieshou was flirtatious and charming. It was difficult for others not to think in that direction.
In addition to building a bridge for the brothel, Song Qingshu also summoned a group of high-ranking members of the Jiangnan Beggar Sect, including Chen Youliang, and introduced Ren Yingying to them. On the surface, they naturally agreed to listen to Ren Yingying's instructions. However, regardless of whether it was Song Qingshu or Ren Yingying, they both knew that this was just lip service. In the end, it still depended on Ren Yingying's methods.
Because of the construction of the 'Celestial World', He Tieshou became busier and busier. Chen Yuanyuan also officially decided to move out of the Prince of Qi's residence. As he saw her off, Song Qingshu smiled bitterly and asked, "Is Madam still angry at me?"
Chen Yuanyuan smiled faintly and replied, "Angry about what?"
Seeing her expression, Song Qingshu smiled bitterly and replied, "As expected, she is still angry."
Only then did Chen Yuanyuan retract her smile. "Who told you to have such filthy thoughts?"
Song Qingshu calmly looked at her until her eyes began to evade his gaze. Only then did he say, "Whether it was me who had such thoughts or Madam who had secretly thought about it, everyone should be clear."
Chen Yuanyuan's expression changed. "I don't know what you are talking about."
Song Qingshu smiled and did not continue speaking. Instead, he changed the topic. "It is also good that Madam has moved out. It can be considered that you have your own career to strive for. It is better than staying in the residence all day doing nothing. However, there is one thing that Madam should pay attention to. Your identity is very sensitive. As such, it is better to leave the matters of public appearances to He Tieshou. You can just hide behind the scenes. "
"I know." Chen Yuanyuan did not have any objections. She had already done too many public appearances in the first half of her life. Now that she had washed away her past glory, she only wanted to live a quiet life.
Song Qingshu suddenly thought of something and said, "Oh, right. Before I leave, I will arrange for Ah Ke to meet with you. You should be prepared."
"Really?" Chen Yuanyuan was both surprised and delighted. She subconsciously grabbed his arm.
"Of course. When have I ever lied to you?" Song Qingshu nodded his head. "I will be leaving Lin 'an soon. The date of my return has not been set. Since I have brought you out of the Imperial Palace, I cannot let you, mother and daughter, be separated forever."
"Thank you." Chen Yuanyuan pursed her lips as if she was about to cry. During this period of time, she somewhat missed her daughter.
"Hold on a little longer. When I return to Lin 'an next time, I should be able to rescue Ah Ke and let you, mother and daughter, reunite." When Song Qingshu said this, he was in high spirits. It was as if he had great confidence in the future.
Chen Yuanyuan looked at him quietly. In the first half of her life, she had met countless powerful men. Not to mention those world-famous talents, just Chong Zhen, Wu Sangui, Li Zicheng, and recently, Zhao Gou, no matter who they were, they were the kind of people who could shake the world with a stomp of their feet. However, the feeling that Song Qingshu gave her was completely different. He showed off his ability but did not have the slightest feeling of piercing …
Seeing that she had been staring at him, Song Qingshu could not help but laugh. He said, "What? You can't help but fall in love with me and plan to repay me with your body?"
"Bah." Chen Yuanyuan spat. She thought, Did I not promise my body to you? "Although I feel that you are a little boastful, in order to let mother and daughter reunite, I would rather believe that you can do it." After saying this, she left with a red face.
Looking at her receding figure, Song Qingshu secretly thought, Next, I should make some things clear with Ren Yingying.
When he came to the Inner House, Ren Yingying and Huang Rong were talking about something. Song Qingshu deliberately coughed at the door. Only then did the two women stop talking and look at the door.
"Mrs. Guo, I have something to say to Yingying. Can you leave for a while?" Song Qingshu said with a smile.
"Uh, okay." Huang Rong was a little stunned. She thought that he was looking for her, but it turned out that he was looking for Ren Yingying. She was relaxed but also a little disappointed. However, the husband and wife wanted to talk about something private, so it was not good for her to stay here.
After Huang Rong left, Song Qingshu closed the door. Ren Yingying's face became hot. She said, "Why did you close the door?" If it was only the two of them, she would not mind. However, it felt a little strange to close the door after sending Huang Rong away. Ren Yingying had always been shy, so she was afraid that Huang Rong would make fun of her.
"I have something to say to you. It is a serious matter, so we have to be careful." Song Qingshu explained while releasing his Qi to make sure that there was no one within a radius of ten feet.
Seeing his serious expression, Ren Yingying did not dare to be negligent. "What do you want to say?"
"Let's talk under the covers." Song Qingshu pointed to the bed.
"Ah?" Ren Yingying's face instantly turned red, and there was a trace of rebuke in her eyes.
"The main thing is that it is not easy for people outside to hear us talking under the covers." Song Qingshu explained.
Only then did Ren Yingying realize that she had misunderstood him. In fact, after getting along with Song Qingshu for a period of time, she did not mind having some intimate actions with him. After all, the two of them had "seen each other openly" before.
After the two of them shrunk under the covers, Song Qingshu could not help sighing, "It smells so good."
Ren Yingying exclaimed, "Oh, you took the wrong quilt. This is Madame Guo's bed. It must be her body fragrance."
"Uh." Song Qingshu could not help but feel a little surprised. No wonder it smelled so familiar.
Fortunately, Ren Yingying did not suspect the relationship between them. Instead, she paid attention to what he had just said, "Qingshu, what do you want to say to me?"
"Here's the thing. On the surface, I left Lin 'an this time to go back to the Golden Snake Camp to cooperate with the Southern Song Dynasty's Northern Expedition. In fact, it is not." Song Qingshu explained.
Ren Yingying covered her mouth and laughed, "I know. You are going to send Madame Guo back to Peach Blossom Island. Why do you have to say it so solemnly? I will not be jealous."
"Ahem." Song Qingshu almost choked. "I am not talking about that."
"Oh?" Ren Yingying also gradually stopped smiling.
"After I send Madame Guo, I will not go back to the Golden Snake Camp. I will go to the Jin Kingdom." In fact, Song Qingshu also hesitated for a long time. But thinking that Ren Yingying's heart had already belonged to him, there was no need to hide many things from her. After all, she had to be responsible for the forces in the Southern Song Dynasty. If she did not know some things, it was easy to make some wrong decisions.
"Why are you going to the Jin Kingdom?" Ren Yingying's big eyes were full of confusion.
