When the prison guards finally came in, they found that Yelu Sui was also lying in a pool of blood, dead. They couldn't help but be shocked, especially when they thought that he was Wei Wang's only son. Many of them were so scared that their bodies almost melted.
However, no one had the ability to hide such a big thing, and no one dared to hide it. Soon, it was reported to the upper echelons, instantly shocking the officialdom of Shangjing City. It was said that even the Emperor was furious.
Song Qingshu and the others naturally didn't know what happened here. He left with Icy Snow and Xia Qingqing. He originally wanted to go to Zhao Min's place, but after thinking about it, he gave up.
When the women met, it would most likely be like Mars colliding with Earth. Even if there was an explosion in the unknown, the turbulent waves in the dark would be unbearable. Song Qingshu shuddered just by imagining a few scenes.
It was rare that Xia Qingqing and Icy Snow had a good relationship, so there was no need to add another person to make trouble. Song Qingshu decisively gave up the idea of going to Zhao Min's place, and then brought the two women to another house in the south of the city.
The Mongols had a secret stronghold in Shangjing City, so did the Jin Kingdom. This was one of the secret industries of the Laundry Brothel in Shangjing City. Song Qingshu had the highest authority in the Laundry Brothel, so he easily took over this house.
After settling down, the three of them sat around a table. Xia Qingqing was slightly younger, so she said with some excitement, "Qingshu, why are you here?"
"It's a long story. I came here to deal with the Liao Song Alliance, and to find the whereabouts of Murong Jingyue," Song Qingshu answered.
Hearing his words, the dignified Icy Snow's eyelashes fluttered, and a trace of tenderness appeared in her eyes, "Qingshu, I didn't expect you to help me find Murong Jingyue when you're so busy."
Song Qingshu was startled, but he reacted quickly, "How could I forget about this?" Of course, he wouldn't be foolish enough to say that he was looking for Murong Jingyue to cure Zhao Min of the Three Corpse Divine Pill's poison. Moreover, half of it was for Icy Snow's sake.
Upon hearing his words, Icy Snow's eyes grew softer and softer, as though tears were about to seep out of her eyes.
"Then how did you appear in the prison so coincidentally?" When Xia Qingqing noticed how affectionate the two of them were, she smiled and didn't feel the slightest bit of disgust. Icy Snow must be different from other women.
"I followed the Xixia people here." Song Qingshu then described what had happened earlier. "I didn't rescue you in the woods. You won't blame me, will you?"
"How could that be? That kind of situation wasn't suitable for saving people," said Icy Snow with a gentle smile.
Song Qingshu lamented, "Sister is really considerate."
Xia Qingqing, who was at the side, teased, "What sister? She's clearly your sister-in-law." She knew the story of how she met Song Qingshu when she talked to Icy Snow previously.
However, as soon as she said that, Icy Snow and Song Qingshu looked at each other awkwardly. After all, the two of them had already gotten to the point of rolling around in bed. It was strange to hear Icy Snow address her as sister-in-law.
Upon seeing their expressions, Xia Qingqing also realized that something was wrong. She quickly changed the topic and said, "Alright, Brother Song. Since you've already mixed in with the prison guards, why didn't you come out to rescue us after seeing us being molested by that good-for-nothing rich kid?"
Song Qingshu smiled bitterly and said, "There's no need for me to do anything. Didn't the two of you already beat him half to death?"
Xia Qingqing stuck out her tongue. Clearly, she felt a little embarrassed when she thought of letting him see her tough side.
"Actually, the reason why I didn't do anything was because I went after the man in black who was in the same cell as you," Song Qingshu explained.
Xia Qingqing let out an "ah" because she suddenly realized that since Song Qingshu was pretending to be a prison guard, he must have seen how she looked when she called for Yuan Chengzhi. Would he have any thoughts about this?
At the thought of this, she began to worry about her gains and losses.
Icy Snow glanced at her and secretly held her hand to comfort her. "Is there anything wrong with the identity of that man in black? Is he worthy of your attention?"
Her question resolved Xia Qingqing's awkwardness to a certain extent, earning her a grateful glance.
Song Qingshu explained, "Because I suspected that he was Murong Jingyue."
This time, it was Icy Snow's turn to exclaim in surprise. However, she soon noticed the meaning behind Song Qingshu's words and sighed softly. "It seems that he isn't."
Song Qingshu nodded. "That's right. I went to test him and took off his mask. I found out that he was actually the Hero of Jinyang, Xiao Banhe."
"Xiao Banhe?" Xia Qingqing exclaimed. Xiao Banhe had participated in the Golden Snake King's election, so she had a deep impression of him. However, she could not connect the Hero of Jinyang with this man in black.
"That's right. I didn't expect it to be him either." Song Qingshu smiled bitterly. "By the way, Qingqing, did you come from Beijing?"
"Yes." Xia Qingqing knew what he was going to ask. "Miss Xue is knowledgeable and decisive. She has already taken control of the Eight Banners Aristocrats in Beijing. She's gradually gaining the upper hand in the war against Wu Sangui. I'm afraid she'll be able to get rid of him completely in less than two years. By then, she should be able to help you."
When Xia Qingqing found out about Dongfang Muxue's true identity, she hated her to death. However, when she found out that Yuan Chengzhi was still alive, this hatred disappeared and was replaced by deep admiration. After all, as a woman, Dongfang Muxue had accomplished many things that men could not.
"Still two more years?" Sensing the pressure from Mongolia, Song Qingshu increasingly felt that there wasn't enough time. However, he also understood that it was impressive enough for Dongfang Muxue to turn the situation around and pacify Wu Sangui in such a short period of time. One must know that the Three-Border Rebellion in history lasted for eight years and almost overthrew the Qing Dynasty. If Wu Sangui hadn't died midway due to the passage of time, it would be hard to tell who would be the final victor.
Knowing that there were no results in the Qing Dynasty for the time being, Song Qingshu collected his thoughts and turned to ask, "Icy Snow, why did that Xiao Banhe attack you?"
Icy Snow was also at a loss. "I'm not sure either, but it seems like he wants the saber in my hand."
"Your saber?" Song Qingshu was startled.
"It should be your Big Brother Hu's Cold Moon Saber." Icy Snow rolled her eyes at him with some hidden bitterness. After all, what happened between them made her feel guilty to her late husband. "Back then, after Big Brother Hu died, this saber was buried with him. Not long ago, when I passed by Cangzhou, I thought that I might be able to find Murong Jingyue to avenge Big Brother Hu, so I deliberately took this saber out."
Song Qingshu secretly pondered. Wasn't the Cold Moon Saber owned by Nan Lan's father? The father and daughter were robbed and killed by a group of mountain bandits. Miao Renfeng passed by and saved them, and they got married. Then, Miao Renfeng went to Hu Yidao's grave to pay her respects and buried the saber in the grave to honor her good friend.
However, this world was very chaotic, so there might be some errors.
Song Qingshu didn't dwell on it. "What's so special about this Cold Moon Saber? Why does Xiao Banhe want it? Moreover, the Xixia princess heard that you brought a saber with you, so she hurriedly came to capture you. "
"I don't know either." Icy Snow's beautiful eyes widened. "Maybe it's because the Cold Moon Saber can cut iron like mud. Although it's not as famous as the Dragon Saber in the pugilistic world, I think it's not much worse."
However, Song Qingshu didn't think so. Although a saber that could cut iron like mud would make people in the pugilistic world fight for it, what kind of divine weapon couldn't a country find? Unless there was a big secret like the Dragon Saber, why would the country care about it?
"Where's the saber now? Let me see." Thinking that both Xiao Banhe and the Xixia people came for the Cold Moon Saber, Song Qingshu faintly felt that there might be some secret hidden in it.
Unexpectedly, Icy Snow looked worried. "The saber was taken away when I was thrown into prison."
"Oh?" Song Qingshu raised his eyebrows and quickly stood up. "It's probably still in the evidence room in the prison. Let's go back and look for it." He certainly couldn't let such a crucial saber go missing.
"Okay!" Icy Snow also stood up. This saber was Hu Yidao's relic, and it was related to her son's saber technique in the future. She was more anxious than anyone else.
"I'll go with you." Xia Qingqing didn't want to stay here alone. When she thought about Yuan Chengzhi, she felt that only staying by Song Qingshu's side could give her a sense of security.
Song Qingshu nodded. Because of what had happened with Yuan Chengzhi, he was worried about leaving Xia Qingqing here alone. He did not want her to overthink things. As for how to deal with Yuan Chengzhi's matter, the two of them would discuss it when they were free.
Worried that the Cold Moon Saber would be taken away, Song Qingshu brought the two girls along and quickly returned to the prison. However, to their surprise, the three floors of the prison were filled with guards. It was obvious that the security was tight.
"It's probably because we escaped and that foppish young master was beaten up, so this place is under martial law," Icy Snow said softly. She didn't know that Yelu Sui was also dead.
"This is going to be difficult," Xia Qingqing said with a frown as she looked at the heavily guarded guards not far away.
"Don't worry, this won't be a problem for your husband." Song QingShu kissed her on the cheek and laughed. "Wait for me here. I'll go in and get the treasured saber and come out."
"This person is really …" Xia Qingqing stood on the spot with a flushed face while holding her cheek.
Icy Snow held her hand and said with a smile, "Little Sister Qing 'er, this proves that Qingshu likes you a lot."
Xia Qingqing bit her lip and stomped her feet. "Even Big Sister is teasing me."
Icy Snow said softly, "I just want to tell you that since you're so happy now, why are you so obsessed with the past?"
Xia Qingqing knew that Icy Snow was reminding her about Yuan Chengzhi. She sighed faintly. "I've already made up my mind. It's just that Big Brother Yuan used to be me … If Big Brother Hu came back to life, would you still be as carefree as you are now?"
Icy Snow was taken aback and didn't know how to answer. Yes, if Hu Yidao came back to life, what would she choose?
Just as the two girls were feeling lost, a tender shout suddenly sounded in their ears. "So you two demonesses are here. Return my brother's life!"

This book's official account: Monk Liu Ru
Today, the official account promoted a game. In order to thank the readers for downloading, the monk will organize a red packet activity on the weekend. The total number of downloads will be doubled. For example, if there are five thousand downloads, I'll give ten thousand yuan (Of course, I'm sure it won't be as many as five thousand downloads, it'll be difficult to break one thousand). The specific number of red packets and the method of snatching the red packets will be decided by the brothers' voting tomorrow. But compared to the sunny red packets, I'm more inclined to have fewer red packets and more money per red packet. That way, it'll be more interesting.
In addition, in order to thank the gentlemen for downloading, the monk will release more chapters tomorrow. In view of the previous lesson, I won't link it to the number of downloads. I'll directly add four chapters. If there's any spare time, I'll add more chapters.
If you haven't seen it, welcome to the monk's official account: Monk Liu Ru.
You can download the game in the latest tweet. Of course, you can also see the female characters' pictures in the monk's official account, as well as some other benefits.
