Luo Bing felt her hair stand on end. Gritting her teeth, she said, "You're being too alarmist. Why haven't I heard of these things before?" She felt that some of Song Qingshu's words were confusing and she didn't know what he was talking about.
"Of course you don't know what will happen in the future." Song Qingshu didn't want to drag this topic too far away from her. Hugging the curvaceous beauty in his arms, he quickly got the feeling, "Let's just practice."
"How can you practice like this?" Feeling the change in Song Qingshu's body, Luo Bing was both embarrassed and angry. Unfortunately, the difference in power between the two of them was too great. She was always in the other's control.
"I know you must hate me in your heart right now," Song Qingshu bent down and whispered in her ear, "But you can totally imagine that you're helping me increase my power so that you can save your husband in the future. Does that make you feel better?"
"I don't believe that you're practicing." Luo Bing had dreamed of this scene countless nights. Although she was still rational, her body had already softened.
"Then you'll have to experience it later." Song Qingshu didn't say anything else. His hot lips pressed against her smooth skin.
… …
"Is this the posture you practice?" After a long time, Luo Bing felt like she was about to faint from Song Qingshu's strange and embarrassing posture.
"This is the posture of the combination of the Bright King and the Bright Concubine." Song Qingshu's tone didn't seem to feel anything.
Compared to her hatred for Song Qingshu, Luo Bing hated herself even more. Why did she still have a vague sense of anticipation in her heart? Why did she act so lowly? Last time, it could be said that she was forced, but this time, it was clearly half voluntary …
After trembling for a while, Song QingShu let go of her. Luo Bing even felt a sense of loss. She struggled to open her tired eyes and saw that Song QingShu was actually sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed. It was obvious that he was cultivating an extremely profound internal energy.
"You're really practicing?" Luo Bing was surprised.
"Now you know I didn't lie to you." Song Qingshu's eyes were still closed as he adjusted the Yin and Yang Qi in his body. He felt that his Genuine Qi had grown a little stronger and he was very glad. He was worried that the Delightful Dhyana would not have any effect on him since they had already had physical contact with each other. Now it seemed that as long as the Delightful Dhyana had not taken advantage of her before, she would still be able to provide him with rich Pure Yin Qi.
"How could there be such a despicable cultivation technique?" Luo Bing blushed as she spat on the ground. In the end, she still couldn't resist the tide-like feeling of exhaustion. Hugging Song Qingshu's waist, she fell into a deep sleep.
When Luo Bing woke up, Song Qingshu was already dressed and sitting on a stool, looking at her with a faint smile.
Luo Bing pulled up the quilt a little and felt a little more secure.
"Sleep for a while, I'll send someone to bring you dinner later. If you have any requests, just tell the guards outside. Chapter 218 – Waiting for the Hare by the Stump
I'm going to attend some banquets and I'm afraid I'll come back a little late. Don't wait for me then, go to sleep first. "Song Qingshu stood up and walked out after he finished speaking.
"Pfft, who's going to wait for you?" Luo Bing was very unused to this kind of conversation between husband and wife. She stared blankly at him until he disappeared at the door before she reacted. She grabbed the quilt and covered her head, then spat on the quilt with a red face.
Song Qingshu went to attend the banquet organized by the Liaodong Governor. During the banquet, he exchanged profound opinions and suggestions with the local officials of the imperial court on the matter of Prince Bao. Song Qingshu believed that the relevant functional departments and the various levels of the Governor's Mansion and county should further clarify their respective responsibilities, strengthen coordination, and do the ideological work of the people to show the attitude and determination of the imperial court and the local government. Song Qingshu emphasized that the reasonable demands of the lower-level officials and the people should be implemented as soon as possible to gain their understanding and support. Those officials and local tyrants who were destined to be unable to be won over must be dealt with according to the laws and regulations to eliminate the hidden dangers as soon as possible. The Governor, Inspector-General, and the others all expressed that they would be closely united around the imperial court and resolutely obey the orders of the Emperor. The banquet ended in such a harmonious and joyful atmosphere …
The moment Song Qingshu left the residence, he called for Zhang Kangnian and Zhao Qixian to lead the guards to escort the empty sedan back to the Four Quarters Embassy.
"But it's too dangerous for Lord to be alone," Zhang Kangnian said hesitantly.
"Hmph, if an assassin really comes, I really don't know whether you'll be protecting me or me protecting you." Song Qingshu rolled his eyes at him. "Go back quickly. Don't let anyone discover that I'm not in the sedan."
"That's true. Lord Song's martial arts are unparalleled, so naturally, assassins won't be in your eyes." Zhang Kangnian scratched the back of his head and chuckled. He then beckoned for the rest of the guards to leave.
Seeing the crowd disappear into the distance, Song Qingshu leaned against the corner of the wall and retched, "That really disgusted me … I should go and see what's going on with that lass, Li Yuanzhi." After which, he headed back to the Zhang Residence.
Arriving at the vicinity of the Zhang Residence, Song Qingshu carefully examined the surroundings. After ascertaining that there was no one in the surroundings, he leaped into the residence soundlessly. Of course, Zhang Zhaozhong's residence wasn't as tightly guarded as Prince Bao's residence. Casually avoiding a few patrolling guards, Song Qingshu snuck into the rear residence.
Following his memory, he arrived at the room where Li Yuanzhi made a ruckus earlier in the day. Approaching the window, Song Qingshu used his hand to poke a hole in the paper window, intending to take a look at the situation inside. However, just as he moved his eyes closer, he saw a sharp sword stabbing out. Alarmed, Song Qingshu hurriedly retreated backward. At the same time, he stretched out two fingers to clamp down on the blade of the sword.
"Brother Song, it's you!" Before Song Qingshu could react, a surprised exclamation sounded by his ear. Lifting his head to take a look, he realized that the person holding the sword was Li Yuanzhi.
"What the hell are you doing?" Song Qingshu secretly broke out in a cold sweat. If it wasn't for his quick reflexes, he would have long become a blind man. Who would have guessed that there was a sharp sword guarding behind the window?
"I thought it would be Zhang Zhaozhong, that old pervert.
Where's the ghost? " Li Yuanzhi smiled embarrassedly. Looking around, she hurriedly stretched out her hand to pull Song Qingshu into the room.
"Zhang Zhaozhong has ulterior motives towards you?" Song Qingshu couldn't help but change his expression. No matter what, Zhang Zhaozhong was still her Martial Uncle. How could he disregard his status like this? If this were to spread to the pugilistic world, there would probably be no place for him to stand. Uh, but looking at Zhang Zhaozhong, it seemed that he was only interested in the imperial court. It was unlikely that he would return to the pugilistic world.
"Not really." After Li Yuanzhi closed the door, she sighed.
"That day in the imperial palace in the capital, I lost track of you after I returned. I originally thought that you went to find your sweetheart, Yu Yutong, but now it seems that there's another reason." Song Qingshu looked at her in confusion.
Li Yuanzhi's eyes reddened. Holding back the tears in her eyes, she pursed her lips and told him the whole story.
"At that time, you were captured by Zhang Zhaozhong and brought back to Shengjing?" He also felt strange. What was Zhang Zhaozhong doing in the capital at that time? Could it be that he was helping Hong Li find out some information …
"Yes, I'm so pitiful. It's been so long and no one has come to save me." Li Yuanzhi's eyes widened as she blinked at Song Qingshu.
"We don't know what's wrong with you." Song Qingshu thought of another matter and carefully asked, "Zhang Zhaozhong didn't treat you badly, did he?"
Li Yuanzhi immediately understood what he meant. With a red face, she said, "No, he didn't. He wanted me to agree to marry him and use this opportunity to climb up my father's high branch. Naturally, he wouldn't dare to offend me. It's just that I have to listen to his noise every day. It's really annoying. "
"Have you never thought of running away? I remember that your martial arts aren't weak. This Zhang Mansion isn't some iron wall …" Song Qingshu asked curiously.
"Why not? I ran away a few times, but basically, I was stopped by him as soon as I left the mansion. I couldn't beat him … Later, Zhang Zhaozhong was angered by me. He said that if I ran away again, he would use force on me. I was afraid, so naturally, I didn't dare to run away." Li Yuanzhi said pitifully.
"Sure enough, the poor are afraid of the unreasonable, and the unreasonable are afraid of the stupid. I didn't think that Miss Li, who has always been weird, would also be defeated." Song Qingshu's voice couldn't hide the schadenfreude in it.
"I'm already so pitiful, and you're still making fun of me." Li Yuanzhi pouted and turned around.
"Okay, okay, I'll get you out now." Seeing that she was lively and cute, Song Qingshu dotingly stroked her hair.
Li Yuanzhi's face turned red: "Brother Song, didn't anyone tell you that a girl's head can't be touched so casually?"
"Who said that? I only said 'a man's head, a woman's waist, don't touch it unless you're a lover'. I didn't touch your waist. "Song Qingshu said, unable to suppress the smile on his face.
"I'm worried that I'll alert that bastard Zhang Zhaozhong if I go out." Li Yuanzhi's thoughts quickly returned to the problem of running away.
"Don't worry. Chapter 218 – Waiting for Rabbits
With me around, he won't be able to find out. "Song QingShu smiled confidently.
"I almost forgot that Brother Song's martial arts are so good. Hmph, when I get home, I'll definitely ask my father to pull out his tendons and skin him alive. Only then will I be able to vent my anger." Li Yuanzhi said angrily.
"Some people don't like to go home. What, you're only now discovering the benefits of home?" Song Qingshu deliberately teased.
"Yes." Li Yuanzhi replied. Thinking about how she had been away from her parents for so long without telling them that she was safe, they must be worried sick.
"Then let's pack our things and go." Song Qingshu stood up and gestured for her to leave.
"What's there to pack? It wasn't easy for me to wait for you. It's best if we leave this place as soon as possible." Li Yuanzhi said excitedly. She only held the sword in her hand and didn't look at anything else in the room.
"Aren't you going to bring some clothes? I only have men's clothes at my place." Song Qingshu didn't expect her to be so hurried and leave as soon as she said she would.
"Brother Song, you're such a high-ranking official. You must be greedy. When the time comes, just buy me new clothes."
Li Yuanzhi's answer almost made Song Qingshu vomit blood. But he thought about it again. Although he wasn't afraid of Zhang Zhaozhong, it wouldn't be good if he alerted him and the two of them met face to face. During the day, they had just called each other brothers, but at night, they came in to steal chickens and dogs. No matter how thick Song Qingshu's skin was, he couldn't handle this kind of situation.
"Lord Song's ability to steal is really not bad." Just as Song Qingshu hugged Li Yuanzhi and jumped over the walls of the Zhang Residence, a female voice that seemed to be laughing yet not laughing came from the side. Song Qingshu and Li Yuanzhi looked back in horror.
