"You just arrived yesterday and left early this morning. You haven't had time to greet your cheap little wife. Aren't you in a hurry?" Zhao Min looked worried for him, but in fact, her eyebrows were full of smiles.
Song Qingshu was speechless. "What do you mean by cheap little wife? Song Bi and I now know each other well. It can be said that we are in love with each other and treat each other with respect."
"Oh, oh, oh, you are in love with someone else's wife." Zhao Min made a surprised expression, and the sarcasm was vivid on the paper.
Song Qingshu's old face turned red. "I'm too lazy to talk to you. I'm going to eat breakfast first." He knew that it was not a wise choice to quarrel with Zhao Min, so he hurriedly bowed his head and ate.
Zhao Min wanted to continue taunting him, but she realized that she didn't have a chance to say anything. She had no choice but to let him do as he pleased, especially when she saw him choking on his food. She couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Look at you, you are in a hurry. Drink some water and calm down." Zhao Min chuckled and handed the teacup over.
Seeing the faint lipstick mark on the teacup, Song Qingshu was stunned. Zhao Min also realized that she had accidentally handed over the teacup. She was so shy that she hurriedly reached out to take it back, but Song Qingshu reacted quickly. He directly took it in his hand and pulled it back. He said with a smile, "No."
Zhao Min tried to grab it several times but failed. Moreover, he drank all the water in the teacup in his leisure time. She couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
"Well, it seems that even the water in the cup that Your Highness has drunk has become sweeter." Song Qingshu deliberately pretended to be intoxicated.
"I'm too lazy to talk to you." Zhao Min didn't expect that it would be her turn to say this so soon. She felt a little embarrassed and directly got up to leave.
Song Qingshu smiled and continued to grab a few snacks in his hand. He chased after her. "You haven't finished eating yet. Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
Before Zhao Min could answer, she was stopped by the waiter. "Hey, you haven't paid yet."
Zhao Min was still in a fit of anger. She turned her head and gestured for Song QingShu to give her the money. Song QingShu reached into his pocket and his expression suddenly changed. "Oh no, I changed my clothes. I don't have any money on me."
This time, the waiter didn't hold back. "Look at the two princesses' attire. How come you want to dine and dash?"
Song Qingshu explained with a bitter smile, "We were just quarreling and forgot to pay the bill." Although he was highly skilled in martial arts and had a high status, he still maintained the kind heart of an ordinary person from his previous life. He was patient enough with an ordinary waiter.
"Quarrel?" Unexpectedly, the waiter suddenly raised his voice. "I don't know how many people like you who want to dine and dash by quarreling. Hurry up and pay. I don't want to leave if you don't pay."
The surrounding people also began to point at them. How could Zhao Min stand it? She directly took out a silver ingot and threw it over. Then, she left with a cold face. Song Qingshu smiled bitterly and hurriedly chased after her.
The waiter took the silver ingot but still couldn't help but complain. "Two big men whispering to each other. Isn't it disgusting? No wonder you are so soft and tender. It turns out that you are a rabbit …"
Although his voice was low, Song Qingshu and Zhao Min were both martial arts people. Naturally, they heard it clearly with their sharp ears and eyes. Zhao Min stumbled and almost fell. She turned around angrily. Song Qingshu hurriedly pulled her away so that the waiter wouldn't suffer a big loss.
"Why are you pulling me?" Until they walked to a quiet place, Zhao Min finally shook off Song Qingshu's hand. "That waiter has a bad mouth. I have to teach him a lesson."
Song Qingshu said with a smile, "You are a dignified Commandery Princess. You should be magnanimous. Don't argue with this kind of person. Moreover, he didn't lie. You are really soft and tender. We did have some whispering to each other …"
Zhao Min's anger had almost dissipated. When she heard the last sentence, she couldn't help but frown. "Who is whispering to each other?"
Seeing that she was showing signs of anger again, Song Qingshu hurriedly changed the topic. "Commandery Princess, I have a question to ask you."
Seeing that she suddenly showed signs of anger, Song Qingshu hurriedly changed the topic. "Commandery Princess, I have a question to ask you."
Seeing that he suddenly looked serious, Zhao Min's attention was indeed attracted. "What?" Her tone showed that she still had some lingering anger.
"How do you think I can completely turn the power into my own?" Song Qingshu asked.
Song Qingshu nodded. This was indeed a headache for him. He could use the identity of Tang Kuo Bian to exercise power, but once it was revealed that he was Song Qingshu, all the power he had before would suddenly collapse. This made him feel very insecure.
Although the art of disguise was amazing, it also had a natural flaw. That was, it was destined that one's true identity could not be revealed.
This was the case in the Jin Kingdom and the former Qing Kingdom. His biggest problem was that he could not use the power of the two countries as Song Qingshu.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Min played it down and said, "What's so difficult about it? Isn't it easy to build a new army?"
"Build a new army?" Song Qingshu was stunned. He seemed to have grasped her thoughts, but at the same time, it seemed that he did not.
"Yes. Build a new army, from the commander-in-chief to the middle-level officers to the bottom-level soldiers. Then give them supreme glory and better pay. After a few years of war, this army will completely become your personal army. Even if your identity is exposed in the future, these soldiers will definitely follow your orders more easily than the original army of the Jin Kingdom."
"Now that we are in a world of war, there are at least a thousand excuses to build a new army. Moreover, in troubled times, only those who have control over an army will have enough confidence." Zhao Min paused for a moment and continued, "Of course, if you have the ability to control the financial system of the Jin Kingdom, you'll get twice the result with half the effort. In this chaotic world, as long as you have money and an army, you'll have everything."
Song Qingshu excitedly held her in his arms and said, "Min Min, you are really the reincarnation of Zhang Liang. Listening to your words, I feel enlightened."
Zhao Min did not expect him to suddenly hug her like this. She blushed and tried to push him away, "Let go of me!"
"Haha, I can't control myself. Sorry, sorry." Song Qingshu let go of her with an excited smile on his face.
Seeing him so happy, Zhao Min could not help but smile. However, she suddenly thought of what if Song Qingshu became the enemy of Mongolia in the future … Her heart was suddenly covered with a layer of haze.
"I am also helping Mongolia to weaken the Jin Kingdom. It's not a problem …" Zhao Min secretly comforted herself. With her intelligence, how could she not see something? However, when she thought of that, she hurriedly stopped thinking about it.
After a few days, the two of them had their own thoughts and finally arrived at Shangjing.
Looking at the majestic city walls, Song Qingshu could not help but sigh, "The terrain here is indeed dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. No wonder Northern Han was able to defend against the Later Zhou and Northern Song's several northern expeditions. With such a strong city, Liao will not have to worry about self-preservation in these troubled times. "
Zhao Min's tone had a hint of mockery, "Liao has never been good at defending cities. Their custom has always been to hold alms bowls during the four seasons. The emperor would lead the civil and military officials and the army to hunt everywhere. When they came to places with abundant water and grass, they would hold alms bowls. That is the actual capital. Now that the Jin Kingdom has destroyed their country, they no longer have the conditions to hunt. They can only hide in this strong city. Presumably, the Khitans with the slightest bit of courage would not be proud of this strong city. Instead, they would feel that it is a kind of humiliation. "
"That is true." Song Qingshu nodded in agreement.
"It is getting late. Let's quickly enter the city and find a place to stay." Zhao Min took the lead and walked in the direction of the city gates.
"Do you think that when we go to the inn later, there will be only one room left?" Song Qingshu moved closer with a drooling face.
"That is not possible." Zhao Min coldly snorted.
Song Qingshu smiled and said, "Why not? You should know that my luck has always been very good."
"You wish." Zhao Min rolled her eyes at him, a hint of red flashing across her cheeks. "Who told you that we will stay in an inn?"
"If not an inn, where will we stay?" A thought suddenly appeared in Song Qingshu's mind. Could it be that in order to hide her identity, she wanted to hide in a brothel? So should he agree or pretend to refuse?
"I bought a leisure residence here before. When the time comes, we will stay there," Zhao Min said nonchalantly.
Song Qingshu was startled, but he quickly reacted. What leisure residence? It was clearly a secret stronghold that she had secretly set up. "You really know how to be a crafty rabbit with three burrows. With your personality, you must have a similar residence in Daxing Prefecture. Then why didn't you stay there previously in Daxing Prefecture? Why did you stay in an inn?"
"If I brought you there, would the Laundry Brothel confiscate your house?" Zhao Min rolled her eyes at him as if he had asked a retarded question.
"Uh ~" Song Qingshu was speechless.
"Moreover, who told you that I was staying in an inn at that time?" Zhao Min said with a smile that was not a smile.
Song Qingshu was puzzled. "But the next morning …"
"I was only eating breakfast there." Zhao Min snorted. "You were thinking of all the pleasures of the world in the land of gentleness. Why would I foolishly wait in an inn alone? Of course, I went to my own residence to rest."
"Then what if I came back and couldn't find you?" Song Qingshu said gloomily. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. "So you waited for me the whole night!"
Zhao Min's eyes flickered. She snorted. "Don't flatter yourself. Who waited for you the whole night? Even if I used my toes to think, I would know that you wouldn't come back from the land of gentleness. "
"Who said that? I clearly came back to look for you at night, but I couldn't find you," Song Qingshu said quickly. He stared at her eyes as he spoke.
"Impossible, I was always …" Halfway through her sentence, Zhao Min immediately realized that she had fallen into a trap. She blushed and glared at him. She felt that she couldn't face him, so she quickly turned around and left.
Song Qingshu's eyes revealed a look of pleasant surprise. He hurriedly chased after her. Unfortunately, the other side's face was as cold as frost. She simply ignored him.
"Are your dog eyes blind? Can't you see where you're going!" Just as the two people were entangled, suddenly a shrill sound pierced through the air.
Song Qingshu's complexion changed. He pulled Zhao Min to the side and dodged. It turned out to be a long black whip. Because it struck empty air, it produced a sonic boom.
Song Qingshu was furious. If an ordinary person couldn't dodge in time and was struck by this whip, a light injury would be lacerated. A heavy injury would be disfigurement and blindness. It was really too vicious.
But before he had the time to react, the knight who struck the whip rushed to scold: "Bold unruly commoner, you dare to collide with Princess Cheng 'an's imperial carriage!"
