Song Qingshu didn't expect her to be so direct. After a while, he asked, "Which side are you and your sister on?"
"Of course we are on the same side as Master." Fu Junyu showed respect when she mentioned Master. "Master has a high position in Korea and maintains the balance between the Cui Family and the royal family."
"Balance?" Song Qingshu's expression was strange. "From your tone, it's obvious that you are helping the royal family to suppress the Cui Family."
Fu Junyu blushed and snorted, "Now that the Cui Family is in trouble, of course, I have to help the royal family. If the royal family becomes powerful and acts recklessly in the future, Master will definitely take care of it."
"Your master must be very good at martial arts." If he didn't have absolute martial arts, the Cui Family, who had the power, wouldn't care about his words. However, such a person was destined to be in trouble with both the Cui Family and the royal family. He probably wouldn't have a good end in the future.
"Of course. My master is the most powerful person in the world." Fu Junyu's tone was full of pride and matter-of-fact.
"Really?" Song Qingshu chuckled and didn't refute.
At this time, a cold voice suddenly came from not far away, "Junyu, what are you doing over there?"
Fu Junyu stuck out her tongue and said, "My sister is calling me. I can't talk to you anymore. I'll leave first." After that, she didn't wait for the other party to answer and skipped away, playing with something in her hand as she walked.
"What's this?" Fu Junyu glared at Song Qingshu from afar and then noticed the prism in her sister's hand.
"No … nothing. It's just a small thing." Fu Junyu quickly put the prism in her arms. Obviously, she didn't want to share this secret with her sister.
Fu Junyu frowned and didn't continue to ask, "In the future, stay away from that Jia. I heard that his family is involved in the rebellion and is not liked by the Song court. Now that Korea is in troubled times, don't make trouble for us."
"His family has suffered such a misfortune?" Fu Junyu was a little surprised and looked back at the man. She really couldn't figure out how he still maintained an optimistic and cheerful smile.
Although the sisters' voices were soft, with Song QingShu's martial arts, he could hear them clearly. He thought that as the elder sister, Fu Junyi must be more sensible and put Goryeo's interests first. His younger sister was more carefree and did things according to her whims.
"I should ask Jin Ruoxian." Thinking of the information provided by Fu Junyu, Song Qingshu walked toward Jin Ruoxian's residence.
Knowing the purpose of his visit, Kim Ruoxian was very tight-lipped. "Although we Koreans have a lot of internal strife, we are very united against outsiders. This time, we came to the Central Plains to shoulder a heavy responsibility. I really don't believe that anyone would disregard the overall situation and kill Choi Shi."
"As far as I know, there seems to be a fundamental conflict of interest between you and Cui Shi, right?" Song Qingshu asked as he stared into his eyes.
Jin Ruoxian's expression did not change at all. As he boiled the tea, he sighed with emotion, "The tea of the Central Plains is indeed more fragrant than that of our place."
Song Qingshu was not in a hurry. He knew that Song Qingshu had more to say. Think twice
Sure enough, Jin Ruoxian poured him a cup of tea and continued, "You must be referring to the inheritance of the Cui family."
Song Qingshu nodded slightly. "I have indeed heard some rumors about this."
Jin Ruoxian said lightly, "That's just the wishful thinking of others. Of course, maybe Cui Shi does see me as a thorn in his side, but I have never regarded him as an enemy."
"Why?" Song Qingshu asked curiously. Judging from Jin Ruoxian's demeanor, he did not seem to be lying.
"You are from the Song Dynasty, so you don't understand the situation of our Goryeo imperial court. Now the Cui Family seems to be in power, but according to the words of you people from the Central Plains, there are countless dangers lurking in the dark. I think Mr. Jia knows this best." Jin Ruoxian gave him a meaningful look.
Song Qingshu was stunned and immediately reacted. "Indeed, our Jia family used to be somewhat similar to your Cui family, but unfortunately, these are all fleeting clouds."
"If not, I would not say so much to you, Mr. Jia." Jin Ruoxian sighed. "People only know that the military and political power come from the Cui family, but they don't realize how many people are lurking in the dark, waiting for the Cui family to make mistakes, and then killing them with one blow."
"If father-in-law is in the prime of his life, these are naturally not enough. But now he is old and frail, and everyone knows that he will not live for many years. So, all the forces have started to think." Jin Ruoxian seemed to think of some families, and his tone was a little playful. After a while, he continued, "Father-in-law is a sensible man. In this case, only a person with real ability and prestige can continue to stabilize the glory of the Cui family. If the Cui family is handed over to Cui Shi, who only knows how to bully men and take women, in less than three years, all the forces will inevitably attack together, and the Cui family will be doomed."
"Compared with the glory and safety of the whole family, what is the faint father-son relationship with the son of a concubine? What does Mr. Jia think? "Jin Ruoxian took a sip of tea and looked quietly at Song Qingshu.
Song Qingshu nodded and understood what he meant. Just like Sun Ce during the Three Kingdoms period, he did not pass the throne to his younger son, but to his younger brother, and Huan Wen did not choose a son before he died, but passed the throne to his younger brother, who was more capable. In the end, it was to protect the whole family.
"I understand what General means. In this case, as long as General does not do anything, the inheritance of the Cui family will naturally be yours. On the contrary, if you really kill Cui Shi, and Cui Yu finds out, you will lose the inheritance."
Jin Ruoxian looked at him with some surprise. "Mr. Jia's performance surprised me. It is not the same as the rumors. It seems that the rumors are indeed not trustworthy."
"For the sake that Mr. Jia is my bosom friend, I will give Mr. Jia a piece of news," Jin Ruoxian looked out of the window, as if immersed in memories. "On the way to the Central Plains, Cui Shi lusted after the Fu sisters. He actually drugged them and wanted to get intimate with them. As a result, he was found out by the sisters and was severely beaten by them. If we had not appeared in time, I am afraid that his life would be in danger. At that time, Fu Junyu said that she would kill him sooner or later."
Song Qingshu was suddenly dumbfounded. What the hell? After going around in a circle, he came back to the original point? Fu Junyu thought that Jin Ruoxian was the murderer, and Jin Ruoxian also implied that the sisters had the most motive?
The circle of nobles was really messy!
After bidding farewell to Jin Ruoxian, Song Qingshu did not expect that this would be the last time they would see each other. When he came to the Goryeo Embassy the next day, he suddenly heard a scream.
This scream was so shrill that it alarmed everyone in the embassy. At this time, Song Qingshu was wearing Jia Baoyu's face and did not dare to show his Qing Gong. He could only quickly run in the direction of the sound. Looking from afar, he saw the Fu sisters and a group of people surrounding Jin Ruoxian's room. The one in front was Jin Renjun, who was hurriedly knocking on the door. "General, what happened?"
