"They should be busy moving the treasures of Tianning Temple. I'm afraid no one will be willing to come back." Song Qingshu remembered that the treasures of Tianning Temple in the original novel were coated with poison. However, this group of people from the Isle of Heroes was not the motley crew in the "Liancheng Secrets". This bit of poison would definitely not be a problem for them.
"Are we just going to let them take away the treasures?" Qi Fang did not care about the treasures, but those people had treated her and her daughter like that. Naturally, she did not want to see the treasures fall into their hands.
"Don't worry, I'm just asking them to be porters." Song Qingshu smiled slightly. Now that he was alone and had no helpers, he could not move so many treasures away. It was better to use this group of people to help move the treasures out. Anyway, they would eventually use the Ruan Family's boat to move the treasures, so he was not afraid that they would disappear.
"Brother Song, you should go and have a look." Qi Fang still could not let go of her worry. Compared to those people, she would certainly rather the treasures fall into the hands of Song Qingshu.
"There is no hurry. I will send you back to the countryside first. It is not safe here." Qi Fang did not want to leave her hometown. Song Qingshu naturally would not force her, but he would not let her continue to stay here and take risks.
"Okay." Qi Fang nodded. She also knew that this was not a place to stay for long. Even if she did not care about herself, she could not let her daughter take risks.
Next, Song Qingshu sent her back to her hometown. Qi Fang was also free and easy, only bringing some essential clothes and the like. Their hometown, Ma Xipu, was not too far from Jiangling City. Song Qingshu held the mother and daughter all the way, using his Lightness Skill. They arrived in about an hour.
Being held in his arms all the way, the feeling of riding on clouds and fog made Qi Fang fall into a trance. She could not help but sigh, "Brother Song, your martial arts are like the legendary immortals. My father, my grandfather … and the Wan Family's martial arts combined are not as good as yours."
Looking at her cheeks, which were as red as an apple, Song QingShu could not help but want to take a bite. "You should practice Emei Pai's Jiu Yang Gong. When you have achieved some success in your internal energy, I will teach you some profound martial arts."
"I'll practice hard." This incident had given her a wake-up call. She knew that in this chaotic world, she still needed to have enough strength to protect herself and her daughter. "But I don't know when we'll meet again." Her tone was full of reluctance to part with him.
Song Qingshu could not help but hold her hand and invited her again, "Qingshu, can you come with me?"
Qi Fang hesitated for a moment and shook her head in the end. "No, this is the place where Senior Brother and I have lived since we were young … If Big Brother Song passes by Jiangling in the future, don't forget to come and visit Little Water Spinach."
Song QingShu had a strange expression on his face. "Are you looking at little water spinach or her mother?"
Qi Fang blushed and turned around, "You are her godfather, of course you will look at her."
Song Qingshu hugged her from behind, feeling her plump and well-proportioned body, "Little water spinach will look at her, and so will her mother."
The two of them cuddled for a while, and it was finally time to part. After saying goodbye to Qi Fang, Song Qingshu used his Lightness Skill and went to Tianning Temple. When he arrived at Tianning Temple, he found that most of the treasures inside had been moved. Only the pure gold Buddha was left. The people of the Island of Heroes were trying to pack it and transport it to the dock.
"No wonder they chose this time. If they made such a big fuss on a normal day, it would be difficult to cover up their movements." Song Qingshu secretly sighed. They could only make use of this chaotic time to act so that no one would notice them.
He took a closer look and found that there were fewer people on the Island of Heroes than before. He knew that it was most likely due to the poison on the treasures.
"How long until the Ruan family's ship arrives?" Wu Liuqi asked.
Ling Tuisi answered, "Send someone to keep an eye on them. They will probably arrive in four hours."
Wu Liuqi nodded, "This Buddha is too big of a target. If it takes too long to transport it to the dock, it will inevitably attract attention. Therefore, we must calculate the time well. It would be best if the Ruan family's ship arrives right after we transport it to the dock. We can ship it as soon as possible to avoid being discovered by the Jin soldiers."
After a pause, he continued, "Is there still no news of Bei Haishi? I have a feeling that something is wrong."
"With Bei Haishi's group's martial arts skills, there should be no problem." Friday laughed, "If you are worried, I will go to the dock to make arrangements."
Wu Liuqi nodded, and Friday quickly left.
Song Qingshu knew that it was a waste of time to stay there, so he quietly followed behind Friday. Although Friday was highly skilled in martial arts as the Island of Heroes' Messenger of Rewards Good and Punishes Evil, how could he be compared to Song Qingshu? He had been vigilant along the way, but he did not know that there was someone tailing him.
He followed Friday all the way to a warehouse at the dock and saw a group of sailors busily packing boxes. Song Qingshu knew that these sailors were people from the Island of Heroes in disguise. Friday called one of them over and asked him to disguise himself as a fisherman to row a small boat downstream to the Ruan family's ship to ask about Bei Haishi's situation.
Song Qingshu had enough information, so he quietly retreated from the warehouse and decided to return to the Mirror Lake to make preparations.
He used his Lightness Skill all the way down the river. Of course, it was much faster than Friday's small boat. When he returned to the Mirror Lake, he found that Ren Yingying was not in the room. This was a great shock. In his heart, ten Liang Yuandi's treasures could not compare to one Ren Yingying. If anything happened to her, he would probably spend the rest of his life in guilt.
However, he quickly calmed down. He remembered that he had given Ren Yingying the Bell of the Heart Poisonous Insect. If something really happened, she would inform him immediately.
He hurriedly found a maid and asked. Only then did he know that Ren Yingying had been called to chat with Madam Ruan. Song Qingshu thought that he happened to have something to ask Madam Ruan, so he went straight there.
"She didn't ask her when I was here, but as soon as I left, she asked her out. Is this Madam Ruan a lesbian?" Song Qingshu thought, but this thought only flashed in his mind.
"Stop!" Before he reached, he was stopped by the guards of the Ruan family.
Song Qingshu did not feel disobedient. Madam Ruan was married, and it was indeed not convenient for men to enter the boudoir. He said, "Go and tell your madam that I have something important to ask her."
The guards also recognized him at this time. When they saw him that night, they thought that it was him who stopped them. They were so scared that they trembled and hurriedly smiled and said, "It turns out to be Prince Song. Please wait for a moment. We will inform the madam immediately."
Song Qingshu smiled slightly and did not show any dissatisfaction, which made the guards of the Ruan family secretly admire him. It was really rare to be so approachable with such a high level of martial arts.
Not long after, a maid came to greet him. "Prince Song, this way please."
Song Qingshu followed her to Madam Ruan's room and saw that she and Ren Yingying were chatting there. One was mature and charming, and the other was beautiful and moving. It formed a quite beautiful picture.
"Prince Song is back?" Madam Ruan greeted with a smile.
Song Qingshu was stunned. He thought that Ren Yingying told her about his going out. He thought that the two had really become best friends. He did not care, "Greetings, madam." After that, he came to Ren Yingying's side and held her hand. "Are you okay?"
Ren Yingying smiled slightly. "I am chatting with madam. What can happen?"
"Oh, are you afraid that I will sell your madam?" Madam Ruan on the side joked.
Song Qingshu smiled awkwardly. He did have this kind of worry. He always felt that this Madam Ruan was hiding too many secrets.
"By the way, why did I not see Pei 'er today?" At this time, a maid came to serve tea. Song Qingshu took the opportunity to change the topic.
His original intention was just to change the topic. However, when Madam Ruan heard his words, her expression changed slightly. She subconsciously looked at Ren Yingying. Ren Yingying shook her head. She then calmed down.
"When we docked, I sent Pei 'er to do something." Madam Ruan replied.
Everyone had their own secrets. Song Qingshu did not ask further. Ren Yingying on the side spoke in a timely manner. "You are in such a hurry to find Madam. Is there something urgent?"
"There is indeed something I want to ask Madam for help." Song Qingshu pondered for a long time and organized his words in his heart. "I have a batch of goods in Jiangling. I want to borrow Madam's ship to transport it."
In fact, in his opinion, it was easy to rob the treasure. After robbing it, the matter after was a headache. Now that he was alone outside, he certainly could not transport the treasure alone. The power of the Golden Snake Camp could not reach Jiangling. He could use Tang Kuo Bian's identity to mobilize the Jin Kingdom's soldiers to transport the treasure. However, he did not have full control of the Jin Kingdom. If he used the Jin soldiers, this batch of treasure would certainly not be hidden. When it entered the Jin Kingdom's treasury, it would be even more troublesome to take it out for his own use.
After thinking about it, the only thing he could rely on now was the Ruan family's manpower. He could use the Ruan family's ship to transport the treasure. As for where to transport it, he had not yet decided. At present, the alternative was Mount Emei!
Mount Emei could be regarded as his and Zhou Zhiruo's base camp. In the whole of Sichuan, there was no safer place than there. However, there was also a problem. When he needed to use it in the future, it would be inconvenient to take it. After all, the territory of Sichuan and the Golden Snake Camp could be said to be separated by more than half of China …
Of course, this was all in the future. At present, the most important thing was to take the treasure from the Isle of Heroes.
"Goods? What goods?" Madam Ruan and Ren Yingying looked at each other and asked hurriedly.
However, Song Qingshu did not rush to answer her question. Instead, he said meaningfully, "Madam, do you know that the Ruan family will soon be faced with a disaster?"
Madam Ruan's expression changed. Ren Yingying, who was beside her, also felt her heart skip a beat. She hurriedly said, "Oh, don't keep us in suspense. Look at how scared the madam is."
Hearing Ren Yingying speak for Madam Ruan, Song Qingshu could not help but frown. He always felt that something was wrong, but he could not tell what it was. At this time, Madam Ruan also asked him, so he could only answer, "Madam, do you know that Bei Haishi and his group had accomplices?"
Madam Ruan nodded, "It would be strange if they did not have accomplices. Could it be that Prince Song has received some news?"
