"Sun Tzu's Art of War states that there are five types of strategy: cause, internal, reverse, death, and life. In my opinion, the highest level of strategy is that the spy doesn't even realize that he is a spy. " Yu Wanting stood with his hands behind his back with no expression on his face. "Women are easily influenced by their emotions. No matter how good Luo Bing's acting is, she will inevitably reveal some flaws. Song QingShu isn't stupid. If he sees through us, all our efforts will be in vain, so I can't place all our bets on Luo Bing. "
Wen Tailai's face flashed with a trace of confusion. "Not to mention Luo Bing, when the Manchurian soldiers broke in, I really thought that Hong Li was going to kill them … But wouldn't this be too unfair to Luo Bing?"
"Those who achieve great things don't bother about trifles." Yu Wanting looked back at Wen Tailai. "I am doing this to protect Luo Bing. She doesn't know that she has become a spy and naturally won't show any abnormalities. Her safety is the greatest guarantee."
Hearing him say this, Wen Tailai finally felt a little better. He suddenly realized something and hurriedly asked, "Even Luo Bing doesn't know that she is a spy. Then how can she use her beauty?"
"She doesn't need to take the initiative. As the saying goes, the onlooker sees the game more clearly. I know Luo Bing's temperament better than you. Her following actions are all within my expectations. Naturally, she will unintentionally complete our plan." Yu Wanting stopped talking and a trace of an unfathomable smile appeared on his face.
Wen Tailai suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. The old branch leader in front of him seemed to be somewhat unrecognizable.
"Hailanbi and Debu?" Song Qingshu was stunned. He had just heard of these two names in Zhang Zhaozhong's residence. Although their martial arts were not as good as Zhang Zhaozhong's, they could barely be considered as masters of the same level.
Song Qingshu was worried that if he delayed for too long, there would be more and more masters and soldiers rushing over from Prince Bao's residence. So he decided to end the battle quickly.
Hailan Bi and Debu, two people only saw a blur in front of their eyes, Song Qingshu was already in front of them. Hastily they raised their palms to meet the attack, but their palms hit empty air. While they were stunned, a sharp pain came from their chests, blood spurted out from their mouths and they fell backward, crushing a large number of officers and soldiers.
Song Qingshu used his ghostly footwork to gain the upper hand and then used a feint to lure the two to open their doors. In order not to expose his martial arts, he finally used an ordinary Taizu's Long Fist. Taking advantage of the confusion of the soldiers, he grabbed Luo Bing's waist and with a few leaps, disappeared at the end of the street.
"Let's go." Yu Wanting saw that his goal had been achieved, so he turned around and left with Wen Tailai.
"This little thief's martial arts are indeed impressive." Although Wen Tailai knew that this was only a trick, he still felt very uncomfortable thinking about his wife being held in his arms.
"Fortunately, Old Division Leader, you have great foresight. Otherwise, if we were to use force to solve the problem, we really wouldn't have any chance of winning," Wu Zhuge and Xu Tianhong said.
…
Inside the inn, the people of the Divine Dragon Cult.
"Senior Martial Brother, do you really think that with our strength, we can really keep Song Qingshu here?" Seeing Song Qingshu's ghostly footwork, Fat Toutuo immediately felt cold sweat dripping down his back.
Thin Toutuo's face was ashen. Obviously, he regretted his previous judgment. Only Su Quan was still smiling like a flower, but in her heart, she already had other ideas.
On the other side, Yelu Nanxian also covered her mouth and said in a low voice, "This Song Qingshu is too fast."
Yelu Qi's expression was solemn. "That's right, he is the fastest person I have ever seen."
Su Yin didn't express his opinion. In his heart, he was thinking: Could it be that he also practiced the legendary Sunflower Treasured Book? Looks like I need to reevaluate his strength.
After bringing Luo Bing to a secluded place, Song Qingshu directly threw Luo Bing to the ground. "Tell me, why are the experts of the Prince's Mansion chasing after you?"
With a groan, Luo Bing crawled up from the ground while rubbing her wrist. She looked at Song Qingshu with a complicated expression. "You are always so violent."
"You recognize me?" Song Qingshu was surprised.
Luo Bing smiled sadly. "Even if you turn into ashes, I will remember you."
Song Qingshu pulled the cloth off his face and laughed coldly. "It's better that you recognize me. I still haven't properly settled the debt from last time with you."
"Debt from last time?" Anger rose in Luo Bing's heart. "You ruined my innocence, and now you want to settle the debt with me."
"Your innocence? How much is it worth? " Song QingShu snorted. "It's not like you're a virgin. As long as you don't say anything and I don't say anything, no one will be able to tell if I stab you a few times. I don't believe your husband can tell anything."
"You!" Luo Bing's face was deathly pale. She was so angry that her whole body was trembling.
"I can guess what you said to Qing Qing that day. If it wasn't for you, Qing Qing would not have become Hongli's Fujin." Song Qingshu suppressed his anger.
"Even if Madam Yuan listened to me and went to look for Prince Bao, it has nothing to do with you. She is Madam Yuan, not Lady Song. You keep mentioning Qing Qing. It seems that you have designs on her. " Luo Bing sneered. "Anyway, according to what you said, she is not a virgin. What can you tell if she is stabbed by other men?"
"You are courting death!" Song Qingshu's eyes turned red. He sucked Luo Bing into his hand and strangled her neck.
"You can kill me if you want, but you must do something for me first." Luo Bing opened her eyes wide. Although she was a little out of breath, she still looked at him calmly.
Song Qingshu was so angry that he laughed. He pushed her back. "Am I crazy or are you crazy?"
"Of course I am not crazy." Luo Bing touched her neck. "No one knows better than our Red Flower Society about Kangxi and Hongli's desire to get rid of each other. As long as you do something for me, I will tell you a secret that can topple Hongli."
"If your Red Flower Society had this ability, you would not have been chased by Hongli like a stray dog." Song Qingshu sneered. His expression showed that he did not believe her.
Luo Bing also understood that he would not help her with something based on an ambiguous statement. She hesitated for a moment and said, "Is Hongli a Han?"
"Are you going to say that he and your Chen Zongduozhu are brothers? I don't believe it. "Song Qingshu shook his head." The Manchurian Qing is very strict in examining the blood of the imperial family. Even if they are brothers, it only means that your Chen Zongduozhu is a Manchurian. " In his previous life, there was a widespread rumor that Hong Li was a Han Chinese. No matter which version it was, it all made sense. However, Song QingShu felt that anyone with the slightest bit of judgment would know that this was just nonsense.
"Of course it is not like that." Luo Bing was excited and repeated the story of Yu Wanting in the morning.
"Qian Zhenhuan?" Song Qingshu's expression was strange. In his previous life, he had naturally heard of the all-encompassing "Zhenhuan". Could it be that there really was such a person in history?
"I know that the Manchus and Han are forbidden from marrying each other. If the Manchu nobles find out that Hong Li has half Han blood flowing in his veins, he will definitely lose his position as a prince. This is exactly what your Emperor wants." Luo Bing glanced at Song QingShu nervously.
As expected, the people of the Red Flower Society were a group of people with brawns but simple minds. Even if they had some intelligence, it was limited by their vision and was of no benefit to the bigger picture. Song Qingshu criticized silently. If Kangxi directly made this secret public, there would be no benefit other than forcing Hong Li to rebel. Hong Li had hundreds of thousands of soldiers in his hands. Luo Bing was naive enough to think that as long as the crime was proven, an imperial edict could take his old life.
"Words are no proof, I need evidence." If it was in the past, Song Qingshu would naturally be dismissive of Luo Bing's suggestion. It was in his interest for Hong Li and Kangxi to be in a stalemate for a long time. But recently, he had changed his mind. He needed Kangxi to quickly take care of Hong Li. Also, if he could obtain evidence that he was a Han, he would have another bargaining chip in his hands. He would be more confident in rescuing Xia Qingqing.
"Help me save the Red Flower Society brothers from the Wang Fu. I will naturally give it to you." Luo Bing was naturally not so stupid. She didn't even take the goods before handing over the money.
"Looking at your disheveled appearance just now, if I am not wrong, it must have been the masters of the Wang Fu who suddenly attacked your stronghold. You fled in a hurry. How could you have had the time to bring any evidence?" Song Qingshu did not believe her at all. He directly grabbed Luo Bing and began to search her body with his large hands.
"What are you doing?" Luo Bing's beautiful face paled.
"Naturally searching your body." Song Qingshu sneered. "Don't move. It's not like I haven't touched you before."
As expected, Luo Bing stopped struggling. But her violently rising and falling chest showed that her mood was not so calm. "How could I carry such important things on me? The Red Flower Society has long hidden them in a secret place."
"Sure enough, there is nothing." Song Qingshu took his hand out of her lapel. "How do I know that you are not lying to me? Besides, with your rank in the Red Flower Society, I do not think you are qualified to know this secret. "
With a red face, Luo Bing buttoned up her disheveled clothes. "Believe it or not, it's up to you!"
Song Qingshu stared at her face for a moment but could not find any flaws. Finally, he nodded. "Fine, I will believe you for the time being. But for this period of time, you have to stay by my side. If you are unable to hand over the evidence to me after rescuing them … Hmph, at that time, not to mention your husband Wen Tai, I will even kill the other leaders of the Red Flower Society."
Luo Bing's complexion paled. But at this moment, she had no other choice. She nodded. "Alright."
Bringing her to the vicinity of the Four Quarters Embassy, Song Qingshu halted. With a frown, he said, "There are bound to be many people watching over the Four Quarters Embassy. If I bring you in directly and you are discovered by Hong Li, things will be bad. Wait here for a moment, I will come out in a moment." After which, he sealed Luo Bing's acupoint and walked into the Four Quarters Embassy.
With her acupoint sealed, Luo Bing was unable to move at all. Her heart was filled with fear. She was worried that she would be discovered by the passing soldiers, and she was also worried that some local ruffians might lay their hands on her … After a long period of time, just when Luo Bing felt that every second felt like a year, Song Qingshu finally returned. For some reason, upon seeing this demon-like man, Luo Bing heaved a long sigh of relief.
"Change into this set of imperial guard attire. In the future, you will be able to enter the Four Quarters Embassy without being noticed." Song Qingshu threw a set of clothes to her and unsealed her acupoint.
Bending down to massage her numb calf, Luo Bing stared at the clothes before her silently.
"Why aren't you changing?" Song Qingshu was taken aback.
