"After all, he has treated us well. It would be abnormal if we did not show some concern." Madam Ruan's heart trembled. She knew that her concerned expression had revealed a small flaw.
Song Qingshu nodded and did not say anything else. At this time, he was actually a little worried. If "Bei Haishi" revealed a flaw and alerted the enemy, the people of the Isle of Chivalry would withdraw with the treasure in advance. That would be troublesome.
Fortunately, Madam Ruan was worthy of being a master of disguise. Not only was her disguise flawless, her reaction was also quick. After chatting with the spy for a while, she found a reasonable reason to explain why she had not sent a message. In the end, she successfully sent the spy away.
After the spy drove the boat away, Song Qingshu appeared and applauded, "Madam's appearance is indeed extraordinary."
"Madam Ruan" unhappily glared at him and crisply asked, "What is Prince Qi's plan? Can you tell me now?"
Only then did Song Qingshu answer, "It's very simple. I will help Madam deal with those big enemies. In return, Madam will help me transport a batch of goods."
"That simple?" "Madam Ruan" was somewhat surprised. She originally thought that the other side would propose very harsh conditions. She did not expect that it would only be to transport goods. For them, who had started their business as imperial merchants, this was no trouble at all.
However, she quickly realized something and hurriedly asked, "What goods does Prince Qi want to transport?"
Song Qingshu shook his finger, "Madam does not need to worry about this."
Seeing that he did not say anything, "Ren Yingying" to the side spoke at the right time, "Song, how do you plan to deal with those thieves?"
"I have my own brilliant plan." In front of Madam Ruan, it was not convenient for Song QingShu to say anything. He could only answer ambiguously, "Alright, I have to leave now to prepare to deal with those people in advance. You guys get ready here and wait for me at Jiangling City." After saying this, he used his Qinggong to tread on the water and left.
Looking at his figure crossing the river on a reed like the legendary Bodhidharma, Pei 'er came to Madam Ruan's side and said with lingering fear, "His martial arts are too terrifying. If he really wants to deal with us, I am afraid we will not have the slightest ability to resist."
"Yes, if I had known earlier, I wouldn't have imprisoned Miss Ren," Madam Ruan said with a worried expression.
Pearl rolled her eyes and suddenly said, "Madam, I have a way to get through this. Even if he knows the truth, he will let us go."
"Ah, say it quickly!" Madam Ruan hurriedly asked.
Pearl moved closer to her ear and whispered, "According to the rumors of Jianghu, this Prince Song is a passionate person. He has always treated the women around him well. Why don't you … Why don't you go with the flow and have some sort of intimate relationship with him? When the time comes, even if he finds out the truth, based on this relationship, he might let the Ruan family go …"
"You damned girl, how can you talk about the mistress like this? How can you face your Young Master Yang if you say this?" Madam Ruan was ashamed and angry. She grabbed her ear and began to twist it.
Pearl cried out in pain, "I was wrong, I was wrong. Let go my wife, my ear is going to fall off."
"So be it." Madam Ruan snorted and two red clouds appeared on her face. Although her words were not forgiving, she still let go.
Pearl rubbed her ears and whispered, "That's true. If something really happens, then even Young Master Yang will be dragged into this …."
"What did you say?" Madam Ruan raised her eyebrows.
"Nothing …" Pearl stuck out her tongue and hurriedly ran away, leaving Madam Ruan alone, deep in thought.
After Song Qingshu arrived at Jiangling, he first went to the pier to confirm that the people of the Isle of Heroes were still there. Then, he quietly left and put on a mask. He then went to the Jin army camp outside the city.
Originally, the Jin soldiers saw that he was dressed strangely and wanted to arrest him. However, when they saw the gold medal in his hand, they were shocked and hurriedly welcomed him in.
Soon, the general guarding the camp came to the tent. He first checked the gold medal in Tang Kuo's hand and then showed a respectful expression, "What instructions do you have for me?"
Song Qingshu was also very surprised. He did not expect that the general guarding the camp was Wanyan Gang, whom he had personally promoted. He could be considered as his trusted confidant. No wonder he was so respectful when he saw Tang Kuo's gold medal.
He did not reveal his identity and only nodded, "The Marshal has received reliable news that the Song have taken advantage of the peace talks to send a large number of secret agents to Jiangling. They are trying to spy on our military situation and plan to burn down our supplies to help the Song army recapture Jiangling. This will give the Song the initiative at the table of the negotiations."
Wanyan Gang was stunned, "These southern barbarians are really despicable!"
Song Qingshu continued, "Therefore, the Marshal has sent me here to order you to send people to destroy this wave of Southern Song secret agents. They are now at the south pier of the city."
"Yes! I will mobilize the troops now. "Wanyan Gang cupped his hands and said.
"Wait a moment!" Song Qingshu once again said, "Because we are now discussing peace with the Song, remember to keep this matter confidential. Do not mention it to anyone except the Marshal, lest the Southern Song negotiators use it as a pretext."
"I understand." Wanyan Gang was not a novice in politics. He knew that there were many things in the officialdom that needed to be kept confidential. He did not ask about the cause and effect of the matter. He only ordered an army and told them that he was going to destroy a group of water bandits.
At the Jiangling pier, Friday heard the report from his subordinates and knew that Bei Haishi was safe. He heaved a sigh of relief and could vaguely see the Ruan family's ship in the distance. He was completely relieved, "Fortunately, everything is fine there. I don't know why, but my eyelids have been twitching. I am worried that something has happened."
Ling Tuisi smiled and said, "Sir, you are worrying too much. With our Kung Fu, we can do whatever we want in the entire Jiangling, unless we encounter the regular army of the Jin Kingdom …"
Before he could finish his sentence, the person who was stationed at the top of the lookout fell down. The two looked at him and saw an arrow in his neck. He was dead.
"Alert! Enemy attack! " Friday hurriedly shouted. At this moment, the people who were disguised as sailors took out their weapons and rushed out. They were not afraid. After all, they represented the Isle of Heroes and were used to doing whatever they wanted. They wanted to see who dared to provoke them.
However, what greeted them was a dense rain of arrows. Half of the top-notch experts in the Jianghu were instantly killed. After all, the martial arts of the Jianghu were completely useless in the face of the dense and indiscriminate attacks of the army.
At this moment, Friday also saw the Jin Kingdom's cavalry charging at him. His hair stood on end. He glared at Ling Tuisi and wanted to tear his mouth apart.
At this moment, Ling Tuisi's face turned green. Without waiting for anyone to call him, he hurriedly used his Lightness Skill to escape to the west. Before he became the magistrate, he was the leader of a gang in the Jianghu. His Kung Fu was not bad.
Friday did not have the time to scold him. He hurriedly ordered his subordinates to retreat. Unfortunately, the Jin Kingdom's cavalry came prepared and had an absolute advantage in numbers. There was no way these Jianghu people could escape.
The entire dock was a one-sided massacre. Friday's eyes were bloodshot. Unfortunately, even if he killed more than a dozen Jin Kingdom cavalrymen, it would not help the overall situation. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, he could only start to escape with hatred.
"Is Wu Liu a traitor?" He could not understand why the Jin Men would attack him. After all, they had been very careful from the beginning to the end.
However, he quickly stopped because a masked man was standing in front of him. His clothes were fluttering in the wind, and he looked like an immortal. However, at this moment, he looked like the most terrifying demon in Friday's eyes. Ling Tuisi was lying at his feet, and he did not know whether he was dead or alive.
"Who are you?" Friday was full of fear.
"Why is Wu Liu not here?" The masked man was naturally Song Qingshu. He did not make a move earlier. Instead, he stood at a high place and observed the situation. When he noticed that Ling Tuisi and Friday were escaping, he rushed to stop them. However, he unexpectedly found that Wu Liu Qi was not there.
Friday did not answer him.
Instead, he waved his palms and attacked. Although he could not defeat thousands of soldiers and horses, there were only a few dozen people in the entire Jianghu who could beat him in a one-on-one fight. The world was so big, and he could not be that unlucky.
Before Song QingShu arrived, he could already feel a gust of scorching air. Song QingShu knew that one of the Isle of Heroes' Messengers of Virtue Rewarding and Evil Punishing was carrying a red gourd and a blue gourd. The red gourd contained a strong medicinal wine that was extremely dry and hot. It was made by adding the Blazing Fire Pill into the wine. The blue gourd contained a cool medicinal wine that was extremely cold. It was made by mixing the Nine Nine Pills into the wine. The Scorching Flame Pill and the Nine Nine Pill each contained quite a lot of spirit pills and medicines. The Nine Nine Pill contained eighty-one poisonous plants, while the Scorching Flame Pill contained fewer poisonous plants, such as the Crane's Crown and the Peacock's Gallbladder. The people of the Isle of Heroes relied on this medicinal wine to stimulate their bodies, allowing them to cultivate to a level that far surpassed their peers.
This Friday's palm wind was scorching, and it was obvious that he had been practicing by drinking the Fire Pill. Not only was his inner force strong, but his palm wind also contained the poison of the Fire Pill. If someone who did not know what was going on rashly fought him, it would be easy for him to fail miserably.
However, Song Qingshu knew about the Island of Heroes very well. Moreover, his inner force had reached perfection. Ever since he successfully detoxified the world's number one poison, the Golden Ripple Flower, he was now immune to all poisons.
However, he was too lazy to test the poison on his body. He raised his hand, and a few crystal clear things shot out. Shocked, Friday thought it was some kind of hidden weapon. He hurriedly raised his other hand, intending to use his inner force to knock it away.
But soon, he was shocked to discover that these thin ice flakes that looked like they would shatter with a gust of wind had no effect on them at all for some reason. Instead, the opponent directly broke through the wind created by his palm and shot several major acupoints on his body.
"Is this … the Spell of Life and Death?" As the messenger of the Island of Heroes and Punishing the Evil, Friday often traveled in Jianghu and knew a little about many secrets. He might not have recognized them before, but when the mysterious hidden weapons entered his body, how could he not recognize them?
Song Qingshu looked at him in surprise and said, "You are quite knowledgeable." He had extorted these Life-Death Charms from Tang Saier, and he had never used them. Today, he could use them on the people of the Island of Heroes.
