After an unknown amount of time, they could hear people calling out to them from afar.
"Fourth Lady?"
"The Golden Snake King?"
…
Someone in the cave suddenly stood up. Yang Miaozhen started to put on her clothes in a panic, "Oh no, we suddenly disappeared. They sent people to look for us."
Song Qingshu laid on the hay and looked at her smooth back. He could not help but touch it, "Tsk tsk, you have been fighting on the battlefield all year round, but you don't have any scars on your body. What a miracle."
Yang Miaozhen slapped his evil hand away and said proudly, "I have the Pear Blossom Spear in my hand. Who can hurt me?"
Song Qingshu thought of what happened earlier and could not help but smile, "You are indeed good at using … spears."
Yang Miaozhen obviously remembered the embarrassing incident earlier and said angrily, "Don't mention that again. Also, you are not allowed to tell anyone about what happened tonight."
"Not allowed to tell anyone?" Song Qingshu had a strange expression on his face, "Aren't you being taken advantage of?"
Yang Miaozhen looked at him strangely, "I slept with you, why am I the one being taken advantage of?"
Song Qingshu, "…"
This was not right. Why did he feel like he was being taken advantage of for free?
"Hurry up and get up. I don't want them to see us like this." Yang Miaozhen quickly put on her clothes. Her two perfect long legs were soon covered by her skirt.
She quickly finished putting on her clothes. Just as she stood up, she suddenly staggered and turned around to glare at Song Qingshu, "It's all your fault!"
Song Qingshu was confused at first, but when he saw that her legs were a little unnatural, he could not help but understand, "Why is it my fault? You were the one who wanted to do it again and again just now."
Yang Miaozhen's face turned red. She humphed and turned around. She did not want to admit defeat verbally, but in her heart, she complained, "If I knew this was going to happen, I would have saved it. It really hurts."
Feeling the voices of the Red Coat Army getting closer, Song Qingshu had no choice but to put on his clothes and go down the mountain with Yang Miaozhen.
"Do you need my help?" Song Qingshu extended his hand.
Yang Miaozhen ignored him. "I'm not that weak."
Song Qingshu smiled bitterly, but he somewhat liked her independent character. If every woman was like her, there would be no need to take care of or be responsible for anything …
Song Qingshu couldn't help but shiver when he imagined that the world was filled with such tomboyish women. It would be better if there were more girls.
After the two of them went down the mountain, they found the main group. Yang Miaozhen pointed at Song Qingshu and said, "He was poisoned. I went to treat him."
The other members of the Red Coat Army did not suspect anything. The two of them were highly skilled in martial arts. Even if they were slightly poisoned, they should have been cured within a night. Thus, they did not question them any further. Only Liu Fuqing and a few of Li Quan's subordinates knew what was going on. Their gazes quietly shifted back and forth between the two of them.
They noticed that Yang Miaozhen's face was bright red, and there seemed to be a hint of spring between her brows. Then, they noticed that she walked a little unnaturally. How could they not know what was going on? They thought to themselves that the most beautiful horse of the Red Coat Army had been ridden by a man in the end.
When they thought about how Li Quan had racked his brains, only to end up benefiting another man, they could not help but sigh. However, they were aware of their status as surrendered generals. At this moment, none of them dared to say anything, afraid that they would bring trouble upon themselves.
When they returned to the main tent, the yellow-robed woman came up to them and asked with concern, "I heard that you were poisoned?"
Song Qingshu replied, "Fortunately, I had the help of the Fourth Lady. The poison has been cured."
Thinking about the process of curing the poison, Yang Miaozhen's face turned red. She thought to herself, 'Why did you have to drag me into this?' She did not know why, but she always felt a little guilty when facing the yellow-robed woman. It was as if she had stolen her younger sister's man. However, she had clearly asked the yellow-robed woman yesterday, and the two of them did not have any relationship.
"You guys continue chatting. I'm going back to rest." Yang Miaozhen did not mind facing other people, but with the yellow-robed woman here, Yang Miaozhen always felt a little uncomfortable. After saying a few words, she hurriedly returned to her own tent.
"What's wrong with her?" The yellow-robed woman was a little puzzled.
Song Qingshu's smile was a little strange, "Perhaps she was too tired last night." Thinking about how an inexperienced girl like her could be so fierce last night, he thought to himself, 'As expected of someone with high martial arts skills. Her body's flexibility and resilience are so high. If it was a girl from an ordinary family, she would probably not be able to get out of bed today.'
"What are you thinking about?" Noticing the strange smile on his face, the yellow-robed woman could not help but ask.
"No … nothing," Song Qingshu felt a little guilty and directly changed the topic, "Next, we'll bring the Red Coat Army and Li Quan's troops south. After we defeat Xia Quan, we can leave and rush to Mount Wudang."
"Xia Quan has fifty thousand troops under him, and Liu Da also has thirty thousand elite troops on his side. I'm afraid it won't be easy to take care of Xia Quan, right?" The yellow-robed woman frowned.
Song Qingshu smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I've already discussed the plan with the Fourth Lady. It won't be long with Xia Quan."
Speaking of Lin 'an, two days after Song Qingshu and the yellow-robed woman left, the Emperor issued an edict to go to Mount Wudang to worship the heavens and fulfill his vows. Jia Shidao and a few carefully selected officials of the court accompanied the Emperor. The Crown Prince was left in the capital to supervise the country, take care of daily affairs, and intimidate people from all sides.
The Emperor's safety was naturally the first consideration when he went out. However, the Northern Expedition had just been defeated, and the army had wasted a lot of money and food, so the principle this time was to travel light.
But no matter how light the carriage was, he was still the Emperor, and the troops accompanying him were still a powerful force. The Emperor's personal bodyguards and imperial equipment naturally had to go with him. The guards of the Front Hall were originally to protect the Emperor, so of course they had to go with him. There were also the bodyguards and the Horse Infantry Army who had selected a group of elites to go with them. Including the palace maids and eunuchs, the entire group had about ten thousand people.
As for the people of the Imperial City Department, Zhao Gou left them in the capital to help the Crown Prince supervise the country.
In the dragon carriage, Zhao Gou's face was a bit angry, "Where is that bastard Song Qingshu? Where is he? He took my beloved concubine and didn't do anything. Do you want me to announce to the world that he has committed a crime of disrespect? "
Huang Chang, who was hiding in the corner, said lightly, "He has to go take care of something now. Don't worry, he will arrive in time."
"What if he doesn't make it in time?" Zhao Gou was obviously a bit dissatisfied with this answer. He knew that success or failure depended on this, so he naturally had to make sure nothing went wrong.
"My disciple is by his side. He will definitely make sure he returns in time," Huang Chang answered.
"For the people of the Yang Family?" Zhao Gou vaguely remembered that Huang Chang had also reported this back then. He couldn't help but snort, "How can their lives be more important than my safety? Furthermore, their current situation was caused by Jia Shidao. If this operation succeeds, their crisis will be resolved. Yingluo and Song Qingshu's actions really don't care about the big picture!"
Huang Chang didn't answer. He knew the emperor's cold nature. He thought that by the time the dust settled, the bloodline of the Yang Family would have already been cut off. Back then, he hadn't been able to save Yue Fei's life because he had gone out. This time, he couldn't make the same mistake.
On the other side, Liao Yingzhong was also praising Jia Shidao's horse. "Prime Minister, you really played a good trick. You had Xia Quan's people attack Yangzhou, and Liu Gu's people help from the side. I think that after the WuTang Mountain trip is over, Song Qingshu won't be able to come back."
Before, he had been a bit disapproving of Jia Shidao's plan to use the mistresses of his family to stall Song Qingshu. Now that he knew what Jia Shidao had up his sleeve, he really admired him.
Jia Shidao smiled lightly, "It's fine if he can't come back. If he does, I have another big gift for him."
