Hearing the black-clothed man's question, Song Qingshu was overjoyed. He wished the black-clothed man would ask more questions like this so that he might have a chance to find out who the faceless man was.
Unfortunately, Prince Yi did not give him the chance. He reprimanded him with some displeasure, "You've been with me for so long, yet you still don't know the rules. Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. Next time you test me like this, whether it's intentional or not, the result will be the same."
"I deserve to die, I deserve to die …" Although he could not see, he could still imagine the cold sweat on the black-clothed man's face.
Song QingShu, who was outside, secretly lamented that it was a pity. Judging from the information he had received, perhaps only Prince Yi knew the identity of the faceless man. But his identity was sensitive, and he couldn't capture him for interrogation. Of course, there was another reason. He didn't want to alert the enemy too early. After all, at present, the conspiracy of the Mansion of Spirits was likely to be beneficial to him.
After listening for a while, Song QingShu saw that he could not get any more valuable information, so he quietly left Prince Yi's Mansion and headed in the direction of the prison. Now that Hua Yue and the others were being targeted by the Mansion of Spirits, he had to rescue them as soon as possible to avoid any accidents.
For a few moments, Song Qingshu somewhat admired Prince Yi. Not only did great minds think alike on the issue of Hua Yue and others, but more importantly, he actually made such a big move in the Mansion of Spirits.
In fact, it was very normal. Now that the position of Crown Prince was taken, if nothing happened, the throne would have nothing to do with him, so he could only make changes himself.
Now the biggest question is, what is the plan of the Mansion of Spirits? Song Qingshu could vaguely guess from what happened on WuTang Mountain, but he had no clue who the faceless man and the general were.
Back in the prison, Hua Yue and others had been waiting for him. Seeing him return, they were all excited.
"Follow me!" Song Qingshu opened the cell door with sword Qi and removed the shackles on their feet.
"Will this implicate Prince Qi?" Hua Yue was a little hesitant. After all, breaking into the prison was a serious crime. Not to mention that he was just a prince, even the crown prince would not be able to bear the consequences.
"Breaking into the prison openly will certainly implicate me, but it will be fine as long as I don't let anyone recognize me. At that time, who would know that it was me who robbed it? " Song Qingshu couldn't help but think that Han Xingzhou was such a kind person. He was about to die, but he was still worried about others. No wonder he still chose to join the operation to assassinate Jia Shidao, even though he didn't get along with Han Xingzhou.
Hearing this, Hua Yue was finally relieved, but Yang Ming asked, "What happened to the Mansion of Spirits just now? They seem very mysterious and powerful. If we trick them like this, will they join forces with the imperial court to hunt us down? If we implicate the King of Qi … "
Song Qingshu replied with a smile, "The Mansion of Spirits is just an organization with wild ambitions. It is fated that it cannot show itself in the light of day. I am not even afraid of the Imperial Court, so why would I be afraid of a mere Mansion of Spirits?"
"That's true." The three of them thought about it and agreed. They used to be high-ranking officers in the army, so they naturally knew that there were many gangs and organizations in the Jianghu, but in the face of the power of the government, they were nothing.
"By the way," Song Qingshu suddenly remembered something, "your families …"
The three of them answered, "We are not reckless people. Of course, we prepared an escape route for our families in the beginning. Fortunately, we are all single, and there aren't many people in our families, so it is easy to move them."
Seeing that they had already arranged for their families, Song Qingshu couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
After all, Song Qingshu had done something like this many times, and he didn't have enough security for Hua Yue and the other two, so he didn't disturb the guards until the three of them were taken out of the prison.
Of course, after another hour, the guard on duty would discover that the sleeping acupoint of the guard on duty had been struck. At that time, it would be impossible to hide it. However, this hour was more than enough.
After leaving the prison, Song Qingshu didn't bring Hua Yue and the other two back to the King of Qi's Residence. Instead, he directly jumped over the city walls and left. The city walls of Lin 'an were tall, the moat was wide, and there were soldiers patrolling at all times. Ordinary Jianghu experts really couldn't cross over. Even Song Qingshu had to make several trips to bring the three of them out of the city.
Ren Yingying had long been waiting outside the city. Seeing him arrive, she couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, "You were two hours late. I thought something had happened. If not for the fact that I didn't hear the sounds of fighting, I would have entered the city to investigate."
"I've made you worry. I just happened to run into an unexpected situation …" Song Qingshu roughly explained what happened at Mansion of Spirits.
"Old Sabre Honcho is actually Prince Yi?" Ren Yingying was also extremely surprised.
Song Qingshu nodded, "I'll tell you the details later. We have to hurry and send them away."
Ren Yingying also understood the gravity of the situation and didn't ask any more questions. She led the three of them towards the carriage.
"Greetings, Princess …" Hua Yue and the other two simultaneously bowed to Ren Yingying. Although the imperial court hadn't officially conferred the title of Princess of Qi — even if it did, it would definitely be between the two princesses — the princess's wedding had yet to be held. Moreover, there was a beautiful and mysterious woman in the King of Qi's Residence for a long time. Over time, the officials of Lin 'an began to refer to her as Princess of Qi.
Hua Yue and the other two had long heard of Princess of Qi's heavenly beauty. The woman in front of them was even more beautiful than all the women they had seen before combined. Moreover, she had a calm and noble air about her. As a result, they didn't hesitate to guess her identity.
However, their voices soon came to an abrupt halt, because when they opened the curtain of the carriage, they discovered that there was a devastatingly beautiful woman sitting in the carriage. At first glance, the three of them felt somewhat ashamed of their inferiority, as if the terrifying beauty of the other party made them not dare to look at her directly.
They then turned their heads to look at Ren Yingying. For a moment, they were unable to determine who was superior. For a moment, they really did not know who was the legendary fairy-like Princess of Qi.
Song Qingshu patted their shoulders and said, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and get in the carriage. We have to hurry before the people in the Imperial Prison can react."
Hua Yue and the other two finally got in the carriage. However, they all sat in a corner and didn't dare to breathe too loudly.
Song Qingshu couldn't help but laugh, "You weren't even afraid of assassinating Jia Shidao in the midst of thousands of soldiers. Why are you so nervous now?"
They laughed awkwardly, and Zhang Xing was the first to speak. "Of course we weren't afraid of killing the enemy, but we didn't know where to put our hands when we were so close to a woman. Furthermore, the two Princesses are so beautiful."
Ren Yingying and Shen Bijun blushed when they heard how the two Princesses addressed them. They didn't know how to react. Song Qingshu smiled and changed the topic to dispel the awkwardness. "By the way, Yingying, has General Luo made arrangements?"
Ren Yingying nodded and said, "I sent him out of the city during the day. At that time, Lin 'an City wasn't under martial law, so it wasn't difficult. Even if the imperial court issued a warrant for his arrest, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up with him."
Hua Yue and the other two stood up and bowed. "My Lord, Princess, there's nothing we can do to repay you for saving our lives. We can only do our best to repay you!"
