Song Qingshu took advantage of the fact that everyone's attention was on Xue Yi's men outside to sneak into the Heavenly Prison of Yi Li Courtyard. Most of the guards in the Heavenly Prison had been drawn out, leaving only a small number of soldiers. Song Qingshu could easily avoid them, and those that he couldn't avoid were knocked out.
This wasn't the first time he came to the Heavenly Prison. Song Qingshu didn't go to the west wing where the ordinary prisoners were locked up, but he easily found the east wing where the important people of the imperial court were locked up.
He heard Su Quan's charming figure from afar and thought that something had happened to her. He hurried over, and when he saw the situation inside, he couldn't help but laugh.
It turned out that Su Quan was using the Celestial Music Soul Seizing Technique on a prison guard. Looking at the confused look in the prison guard's eyes, he had most likely fallen for the technique.
Song Qingshu directly knocked out the prison guard, and with a wave of his sword Qi, he cut off the shackles of the cell. He waved at Su Quan, "Come out quickly."
Su Quan realized that there was a strong enemy outside. With her personality, she would not sit still and wait for death. She was concentrating on using her charm technique to confuse the jailer and take the opportunity to escape. However, she was shocked by the sudden change.
When she saw the other party's face, her worry turned to joy. She immediately threw herself into his arms, and her voice trembled, "Qingshu, I thought I would never see you again."
Previously, when she was resting in the palace, the guards suddenly barged in and brought her to the Heavenly Prison. Just a moment ago, she was the high and mighty Empress, and in the next moment, she was beaten down to the ground. Su Quan was extremely terrified, thinking that her identity had been exposed. She couldn't help but feel a sense of despair. She had been forcing herself to hold on, and now that she saw Song Qingshu, she finally revealed a woman's weakness.
"Alright, it's alright. I'm here to save you now." Song Qingshu patted her shoulder, and felt the delicate body in his arms tremble slightly. He felt that the usually strong Su Quan was probably scared out of her wits this time.
"I'm sorry. Originally, I wanted to use Liao's identity as Empress to help you. Who knew that my identity would be exposed, causing all my efforts to go to waste." Su Quan couldn't help but feel sorrowful when she thought of all her years of hard work going to waste.
Song Qingshu hurriedly comforted her, "Don't worry, this time it's not your fault, it's Yelu Yixin's conspiracy …" He hurriedly explained the whole thing, then pulled her out, "We'll talk about the details later, let's take this opportunity to get out."
With his arm around Su Quan's waist, Song Qingshu quickly rushed out of the prison and found that it was a mess outside. Yelu Yixin was nowhere to be seen, and even Xue Yi was nowhere to be found. When they finally found Icy Snow, they realized that Zhao Min wasn't around either. Song Qingshu asked curiously, "Where's Miss Zhao?"
Icy Snow was originally anxious, but when she saw him coming out safely, she heaved a sigh of relief and answered, "Xue Yi's men kidnapped Yelu Yixin just now. From their conversation, it seems like they're going to get some mandarin duck saber. Miss Zhao went after them and asked me to wait for you here."
At this time, when she saw Su Quan in his arms, a strange look flashed across Icy Snow's eyes. She thought that this was the famous Empress of Liao. She was indeed peerlessly beautiful, "Hello, Miss Su."
"Greetings, Sister Icy Snow." Su Quan also bowed in return. Icy Snow's jade-like body also amazed her. She sighed inwardly that even the women around her lover were so outstanding, putting a lot of pressure on her. When she was hanging out with Song Qingshu, she naturally knew of their existence in the capital city. Now that she heard that Miss Zhao wasn't around, it was obvious that this person was Icy Snow.
In just a short moment, dozens of thoughts flashed through the minds of the two women. However, Song Qingshu frowned and said, "It's too reckless for her to go after them alone." Although Zhao Min's martial arts were not bad, it was nothing in front of Xue Yi's men.
Icy Snow suddenly remembered something and said hurriedly, "Miss Zhao said that she will leave a mark along the way and asked you to follow her after you come out."
Song Qingshu was relieved. Zhao Min was indeed not an impulsive and reckless person. She had already prepared a way out, "Then let's go quickly." He was worried that something might happen to Zhao Min. Without asking for their opinion, he directly hugged one in each hand and chased after the direction that Zhao Min left.
On the other hand, Icy Snow was famous for being a good woman. Especially since she was now wearing the identity of Lady Hu, she was not used to being so intimate with Song Qingshu in front of other women.
Icy Snow opened her mouth and noticed the worry between Song Qingshu's brows. In the end, she didn't say anything. "Let's talk about it after we find Miss Zhao … I must find a chance to tell Qingshu not to do this to me in front of others in the future …" She was this kind. Even if she felt a little uncomfortable, she would still consider the safety of others first.
At this moment, Song Qingshu didn't have the time to pay attention to the thoughts of the women around him. He was more worried that he couldn't find Zhao Min. However, he soon relaxed. In the beginning, there was actually no need for him to look for the mark that Zhao Min left behind. He just needed to follow the soldiers on the street. After all, the Khitans would naturally chase after the Prince of Wei who was kidnapped.
After chasing for a while, Su Quan couldn't help but say in astonishment, "This Miss Zhao's Qinggong is really good." She had heard a little about Xue Yi's martial arts. Although he was carrying a person, even Liao's cavalry couldn't catch up with him. However, Zhao Min didn't lose him at all. This Qinggong made her sigh in admiration.
Song Qingshu naturally knew the reason. If it was in the past, Zhao Min might not be able to keep up with Xue Yi. However, not long ago, he had taught her the Qinggong of Treading on Sand without a Trace. Zhao Min was naturally talented, so she could get twice the result with half the effort when practicing Qinggong. Now, her Qinggong was considered top-notch in the martial arts world.
After chasing for a while, he realized that the Khitan soldiers seemed to have lost their direction and started to split up to search. Song Qingshu had no choice but to stop and start to look for the mark that Zhao Min left behind. Fortunately, it didn't take long before he found the agreed mark on a tree. However, it didn't seem to be running out of the city, but back into the city.
Song Qingshu instantly felt relieved. No matter how good Xue Yi's Qinggong was, he couldn't outrun the elite cavalry of the Khitan in the wild with a person. He could only make use of the complicated environment and terrain of Shangjing to shake off the pursuers and prevent the cavalry from using their sprinting speed.
Following the marks left behind by Zhao Min all the way, Song QingShu made seven or eight detours very quickly. Song QingShu's qinggong was very good, not long after, he could vaguely see Zhao Min's silhouette in front of him.
Zhao Min was lying on a tree, looking at a remote courtyard not far away. The arrival of Song Qingshu and the others gave her a fright. When she saw them clearly, she let out a sigh of relief. "Shh, they just entered the courtyard. I didn't dare to get too close for fear of being discovered."
Although Xue Yi had left first, he had to shake off the pursuers with a person, so he wasted a lot of time. As a result, he arrived at about the same time as Song Qingshu, who had followed the mark.
"Is this the secret stronghold of the Imperial City Department?" Song Qingshu asked curiously when he saw how remote this place was.
Zhao Min shook her head. "I don't think so. I know most of the strongholds of the Imperial City Department. This seems to be Yelu Yixin's territory. I saw Yelu Yixin giving directions to Xue Yi along the way."
"Are they really here for the Mandarin Duck Saber?" Song Qingshu couldn't help but sigh at Xue Yi's bravery. He actually dared to follow Yelu Yixin's directions. Wasn't he afraid of an ambush?
However, Xue Yi was so arrogant and conceited that he probably didn't care about any ambush.
"Let's go take a look." Song Qingshu sneaked into the courtyard with the three women. With his aura covering them, they didn't have to worry about being discovered by the people in the house.
