Song QingShu couldn't help but think this way. For someone from the future, the word 'green' was too glaring. He immediately thought of a line on the internet in the future: "Falling in love with a wild horse that's out of control, the top of your head is a green grassland."
As soon as Song Qingshu said this, the two women in the carriage looked strange. Ren Yingying looked at him and asked, "Did a girl say this to you just now?"
Although he didn't know what it meant, his instinct told him that it was not a good thing to admit it at this time. He shook his head like a rattle and hurriedly denied, "No, no."
Huang Rong laughed and said, "Qingshu, you don't have to lie. This poem is from Wang Wei's Farewell in the Mountain. 'The spring grass is green next year, but the prince's grandson will not return.' You are now Prince of Qi. If the prince doesn't refer to you, who does he refer to? He misses you and wants you to come back soon. "
Song Qingshu suddenly understood. No wonder the girl in yellow showed a sour face just now. It turned out that he didn't understand what she meant. He came from the future, so he might know some history and have seen more things. But his attainments in ancient poetry were really not as good as the people in this world. It was no wonder that he didn't understand.
"Now I know what it means to be uneducated is terrible." Song Qingshu regretted it too late. Suddenly he saw the two women in the carriage looking at him with a faint smile. He couldn't help but blush. He coughed twice and said, "This … is just a friend, an ordinary friend."
"Really?" Ren Yingying thought for a while and sighed secretly. But she didn't get to the bottom of it.
Huang Rong saw her attitude and had to admire that she was really a generous woman. But which woman wanted this kind of generosity?
The time of gathering was always short, and the time of parting would come eventually. After the carriage went out of the city gate, Song Qingshu wouldn't let Ren Yingying see him. He said, "You haven't recovered yet. Besides, Lin 'an looks calm on the surface, but in fact, it is full of danger. I really don't trust you to see me off."
"But …" Ren Yingying frowned slightly, "But I can't bear to part with you." Now that they were about to part, she was so excited that she couldn't care less about Huang Rong.
Song Qingshu pulled her into his embrace and comforted her, "Yingying, I promise you that I'll rush back to see you after I'm done with my matters. You must remember to practice the 'Everlasting Youth Skill' that I imparted to you in Lin 'an. I don't want you to have exhausted your lifespan and passed away when I come back. "
Ren Yingying couldn't help but laugh through her tears. She couldn't help but hit his chest. "How can it be so fast?"
"It's fine as long as you're smiling. Don't make our parting so sad." Song Qingshu wiped away the tears on her cheeks. "You're crying like a kitten."
"Eh ~ ~" Huang Rong listened to the two of them being lovey-dovey, and she got goosebumps all over her body.
Only then did Ren Yingying remember that there was someone next to her. She blushed and pushed him away. "Well, remember to take care of Sister Huang on the way."
Song Qingshu glanced at Huang Rong and said with a smile, "Don't worry. I'll take good care of her."
Huang Rong's heart skipped a beat. She didn't know whether it was her illusion or something else. She seemed to hear that the tone of the word "take care" was a little strange. She couldn't help but think of some conjectures that made her heart beat faster.
"I'll also take good care of the intelligence network here in Lin 'an. I'll show you the results when you come back next time." Ren Yingying forced a smile and deliberately cheered herself up.
"The intelligence network is secondary. The most important thing is your body. Don't get tired." Song Qingshu said as he wanted to hug her again. Ren Yingying hurriedly pushed him away with a red face.
"Take care of yourself." Ren Yingying stepped back a few steps and waved at him with red eyes.
Song Qingshu knew that it was getting late. If he continued to dawdle, he might make her feel more uncomfortable. So he hardened his heart and jumped into the carriage again. He ordered, "Let's go!"
After the carriage had left for a long time, Song Qingshu looked back through the window. He could still faintly see a beautiful figure standing at the gate of the city.
"Alas." Song Qingshu couldn't help sighing. He finally understood why there were so many farewell poems in ancient times. This kind of separation scene really made people's emotions ferment to the extreme.
"Reluctant to leave?" Huang Rong asked with a playful face.
"I'm a little reluctant to leave." Song Qingshu lay on the seat, and he seemed to have lost his spirit in an instant.
"In fact, you don't have to leave so early. You can stay in Lin 'an for a few more days." Huang Rong couldn't help but give him an idea.
Song Qingshu sat up straight in an instant and glared at her angrily. "Madam, it's not kind of you. It's obvious that I left so early to send you away. You still make sarcastic remarks."
Huang Rong's face was slightly red. "It's not like I don't have long legs. Can't I walk by myself?"
Song Qingshu shook his head. "I lost you twice in a row. I don't want to have a third time. That kind of suffering is really uncomfortable."
Thinking of his nervous look when he found her in the Gem Stone Mountain, Huang Rong's heart softened. Her eyes became soft. "Thank you."
Song Qingshu smiled. "There is no need to say thank you to me."
Huang Rong's heart jumped. She always felt that he seemed to be a family member with her. She glanced at him quietly and saw that he was looking out of the window with lonely eyes. Obviously, he was still sad about being separated from Ren Yingying.
"This bastard looks quite elegant when he is sad …" Huang Rong looked at him and suddenly felt a little confused. She hurriedly looked away.
In this way, one person was sad, and the other was thinking nonsense in the carriage. Soon they fell into a tacit silence.
After driving for a long time, Song Qingshu suddenly sat up straight. His originally sleepy eyes suddenly opened, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
"What's wrong?" Song Qingshu's reaction alarmed Huang Rong, who couldn't help but ask curiously.
"There are people in the woods in front." Song Qingshu replied in a deep voice.
Huang Rong hurriedly listened attentively. Unfortunately, it was too far away. She could only hear the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves and nothing else. However, she did not doubt his judgment at all.
"Will they come for us?" Huang Rong asked nervously.
Song Qingshu thought for a moment and shook his head. "I don't think so. Although it is a distance from Lin 'an, it is not remote. How can they set up an ambush here? As for who they are, we will know when we go and have a look. "
Huang Rong frowned and said, "Isn't it too risky?"
"With me by your side, the world is so big, even if it is a dragon's pool or a tiger's den, you don't have to be afraid." Song Qingshu said lightly, but there was a sense of disdain in his tone.
Huang Rong knew that he was telling the truth. Sometimes she had to admit that a confident man really had a different kind of charm.
Song Qingshu ordered his men to drive the carriage in the direction of the woods where there were people. After a while, he said, "Stop here and see the situation."
Those who were good at fighting had no illustrious achievements. In fact, Song Qingshu also understood that the wisest thing to do was to leave. If he came over, it was easy to get into trouble. However, perhaps he was bold because of his skills, or because of the experience of playing RPG games in his previous life, he knew that the most terrible thing was not what happened, but that time passed unknowingly when nothing happened. Only by triggering more things could there be more opportunities.
Although today's world was not a game, the principle was still the same.
Song Qingshu lifted a corner of the curtain of the carriage and saw that in an open space dozens of feet away, a group of people wearing red uniforms and ferocious iron masks had surrounded a carriage. The design of the carriage was much more elegant than the one Song Qingshu was riding in. The thin white gauze curtain fluttered in the wind, and he could faintly see a woman sitting inside. Unfortunately, it was separated by layers of gauze, so he could not see the appearance of the person inside.
There were also more than ten people scattered around the carriage, looking at these people in red with vigilance. Even from a distance, one could see the tense atmosphere in the air. It could be said that a fight could break out at any moment.
"Oh, I didn't expect it to be an old acquaintance." Seeing the people around the carriage, Song Qingshu could not help but chuckle.
At this time, Huang Rong also came over, and after seeing those people clearly, she could not help but say, "The Four Great Evildoers have done all kinds of evil, and you are actually friends with them?"
"Old acquaintances are not necessarily friends." Song Qingshu smiled and suddenly noticed that Huang Rong's face was already very close to his. Looking at her tender face, which was like a young girl's, he suddenly felt a little tempted and wanted to go up and kiss her.
However, he was worried that he would annoy her, so he did not kiss her in the end.
Huang Rong did not notice anything unusual and said, "It seems that they are people from Xixia's Class One Hall, but I don't know who these people in red who surrounded them are."
"This place is not far from Lin 'an, so they must be people from the Southern Song Dynasty. Look at their clothes, they are a bit like the legendary Imperial City Guards." Song Qingshu replied in a deep voice. The Qing Dynasty had the Sticking Department, the Ming Dynasty had the Embroidered Uniform Guards, the Liao Dynasty had the Secret Service, and the Jin Dynasty had the Washing House … The Southern Song Dynasty also had its own spy agency, the Imperial City Guards.
The Imperial City Guards were divided into two types of people. One type was called the Personal Attendants, who were in charge of the Imperial City Guards. For example, the Imperial City Guards were in charge of the various gates of the Imperial City Guards. There were five lines of defense in the Imperial City Guards, which were usually directly distributed by the Imperial City Guards and the guards in front of the palace. The reason for this arrangement was to allow the Imperial City Guards and the guards in front of the palace to check and balance each other and prevent abnormal movements.
The other type was called the Personal Attendants, also known as the Inspectors. This was the second function of the Imperial City Guards: a secret spy agency. Its predecessor was the Wushu Department set up by the Taizu Emperor, and it was renamed the Imperial City Guards during the reign of Emperor Taizong of Song. These Inspectors went from the brothels to the ministers of the government to gather information. At the beginning, there were only a few dozen of them, but at the peak, there were more than seven thousand of them.
Their main role was in four aspects: First, to monitor the army. Usually, there were spies from the Imperial City Guards in the garrison army in the capital and even the guards in front of the palace. They recorded the daily activities and reported them in detail, and when necessary, they would take emergency measures. For example, during the Renzong period, the soldier Sang Da and the others got drunk and said some disrespectful words. They were immediately arrested by the Imperial City Guards and sent to Kaifeng Mansion, where they were soon executed.
Second, to spy on the discussions among the people. During the Song Shenzong reform, the court was in turmoil, and there were many people who slandered the court. The Imperial City Guards were everywhere, and anyone who heard someone talking about the court was immediately arrested. Tens of thousands of people were imprisoned because of this.
Third, to spy on the activities of the officials. There were many officials in this area. From the relatives of the emperor to the warehouses of the various departments, there were fixed people in charge of monitoring them. Sometimes, the emperor would even assign some temporary tasks. For example, during the reign of Emperor Taizong, he suspected that the granary officials in the suburbs of the capital were cheating, so he sent people from the Imperial City Guards to infiltrate the granary in disguise. Sure enough, there was corruption.
Fourth, to guard against enemy countries. The Song Dynasty was weak. During the Northern Song Dynasty, it had diplomatic relations with Western Xia, Liao, and during the Southern Song Dynasty, it had a lot of mutual spying. The Imperial City Guards were responsible for this aspect of security. In the Song Dynasty, when officials went to Liao or Jin, they would be accompanied by officials from the Imperial City Guards. When envoys from Liao or Jin came to the Song Dynasty, the Imperial City Guards would also participate in the reception. According to the records, during the Zhen Dynasty, the Imperial City Guards discovered that a merchant was a spy from Liao and arrested him.
The reason why Song Qingshu knew so clearly was because of the intelligence network of the Qing Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom.
While recalling the information from the Imperial City Guards, Huang Rong suddenly said in surprise, "The leader of the Imperial City Guards is actually a woman!"
Song Qingshu's attention was attracted by the four villains, and the people of the Imperial City Guards were all wearing masks, so he didn't notice for a moment. Hearing this, he looked carefully and saw that the leader of the Imperial City Guards was a graceful woman with long hair fluttering behind her. Even though she was tightly wrapped in the clothes of a secret agent, it didn't hide her own charm.
