Lu Gaoxuan thought that women were indeed more ruthless than men, but he still felt the need to remind her, "But if Song Qingshu doesn't give us Fu Kangan's illegitimate children, we probably won't be able to escape the pursuit of Prince Bao's residence."
"Lu Gaoxuan, where did your usual cleverness go? Why do we have to be led by the nose by Song Qingshu and do everything according to his arrangements? "Su Quan's face was full of smiles, but her voice already carried a trace of coldness.
Lu Gaoxuan was alarmed and hurriedly bowed, "This subordinate is slow-witted, please instruct me, Madam."
"Since we're going to use the twins to exchange for the 《Forty-two-chapter Sutra》, why do we have to wait for Song Qingshu to give us the twins? Don't we know that we can find them ourselves?" Su Quan sneered.
"Madam means to find another pair of twins to pretend to be Fu Kangan's illegitimate children?" Lu Gaoxuan asked.
"That's not it. If Fu Kangan's illegitimate children aren't twins, we can naturally find a random infant to replace them. Unfortunately, he gave birth to twins of the same age at the last minute. The difficulty is no less than finding the real one. " Su Quan lay on her side on the couch, her fingertips lightly tapping on her thighs. Clearly, she was in deep thought.
Lu Gaoxuan hurriedly lowered his head after a glance, thinking that this cult leader's wife was indeed a natural seductress. If he didn't want to live anymore, he would definitely try kissing her.
"Lu Gaoxuan, your eyeballs are darting around, what exactly are you thinking about?" Su Quan's half-smiling voice sounded by his ear, and cold sweat immediately dripped down Lu Gaoxuan's forehead. He hurriedly said, "I'm thinking about how to find the twins in Song Qingshu's hands. From what Madam said, you seem to have an idea."
Su Quan chuckled, "That's right, Song Qingshu has Fu Kangan's illegitimate children in his hands, so he naturally wouldn't bring them to the Four Quarters Embassy. The Four Quarters Embassy is filled with Hong Li's spies, and he isn't that foolish. Moreover, his subordinates were all men, and the babies needed milk every day. He would definitely find a wet nurse for the twins. If he were to find one in Shengjing City, it would be too conspicuous, and there would be a high chance of being discovered by the spies of Prince Bao's Imperial Residence. In that case, it would be impossible for him to bring the twins into Shengjing City. But his idea of using the twins to exchange for the Forty-two-chapter Sutra doesn't seem to have come up with it on the spur of the moment. Since he's been planning this for a long time, then the location of the twins can't be too far from him. Hmph, pass down the order. Have the brothers of the Cult investigate the farmhouses on the outskirts of Shengjing, especially those who have just given birth to a child. Pay more attention and must find them as soon as possible. "
"Yes!" Lu Gaoxuan and the others hastily withdrew from the room. In their hearts, they secretly admired this charming and charming Cult Master's wife. However, when they thought of the ruthless methods she used to punish the old ministers of the Cult, they couldn't help but be half happy and half worried.
After leaving the Wanhao Inn, Song Qingshu hid his tracks along the way. He bought some strange items from a few grocery stores in Shengjing City. Finally, he arrived at a residential house. Making sure that there was no one around, he snuck in.
The owners of the house were a husband and wife in their forties. Song Qingshu hid in the shadows and silently observed them.
He observed the words and actions of the two until the sun set in the west. Only then did he stealthily leave.
Returning to the vicinity of the Four Quarters Embassy, Song Qingshu wasn't in a hurry to enter. Instead, he carefully examined the surrounding buildings of the Four Quarters Embassy. In the end, his gaze locked onto a nearby inn. While concealing his tracks along the way, he activated his qinggong and climbed up the stairs. Glancing in the direction of the Four Quarters Embassy, he seemed to have understood something. Pressing his hand on the window, he exerted his strength and broke the latch inside. Then, he opened the window and jumped in.
The moment he entered the room, he felt a gust of wind from a palm strike. The fragrance of a young lady lingered in the air. Song Qingshu dodged and hurriedly said, "Don't do anything, it's me!"
The young lady was clearly taken aback by his appearance. After a short moment of panic, she calmed down and asked, "Who are you?"
Song Qingshu was taken aback. Taking a closer look, he realized that it was an unfamiliar and beautiful young lady. She was tall and slender, and her legs were long and slender. He hurriedly said awkwardly, "My apologies, I entered the wrong door."
"Xian 'er, what's wrong?" Soon, a valiant-looking young man rushed in from the neighboring room. Upon seeing Song Qingshu, he was clearly taken aback.
The young lady hurriedly said, "Big brother, this person suddenly barged in from the window. Could he be a pervert?"
Seeing the young lady's discreet blink, the young man came to a realization and flew into a rage. "Pervert, how dare you set your eyes on my younger sister!" After which, he charged forward with a palm strike.
Song Qingshu was embarrassed. He didn't think that he would end up in such a situation. He could only dodge while explaining, "It's really a misunderstanding. I thought that a friend of mine was staying here."
The young lady harrumphed coldly. "You sure make it sound nice. What's the name of your friend? Call her out and let me confront her."
"I'm that friend of hers. I hope that the two of you can forgive me." A crisp voice suddenly sounded from the entrance.
Song Qingshu looked up and saw Zhu Yanai in a green robe. Her female companion, who was dressed as a man, was standing at the door and looking at the people in the room with a frown.
The young man and the young lady couldn't help but be taken aback. Song Qingshu took the opportunity to jump out of the battle and came to Zhu Yanai's side. He quickly said, "I wanted to find her."
Zhu Yanai also nodded. "I live next to you. My friend here remembered the wrong room. Please forgive him."
"I see." The young man and the young lady looked at each other and pretended to be impatient. "Be careful next time!" Then, they slammed the door.
Zhu Yanai glanced at Song Qingshu with a faint smile and led him to her room. "Do you always use such a sneaky method to break into a girl's room?"
"Isn't it an accident? I thought you lived there." Song Qingshu was a little embarrassed after making such a big mistake.
"You thought I lived there?" Zhu Yanai said lightly. "What if I was taking a bath?"
"This …" Song Qingshu was embarrassed. "It's broad daylight. Why are you taking a bath?"
"When I was in the palace, I would take a bath at any time as long as I was happy.
Besides, it's already dark. "Zhu Nianzhi looked out of the window." It's already dark. "
Seeing Song Qingshu's hesitation, Zhu Yanai showed a faint smile. "Okay, I was teasing you. By the way, how did you find this place? "
Song Qingshu heaved a sigh of relief and found a stool to sit down. "I wanted to contact you, but I didn't know when you would respond. Recalling that you said that you tied a yellow cloth to the tree in the courtyard, I boldly guessed that you might be hiding in the vicinity of the Four Directions Embassy. I looked around, and the location of this inn was just right. Then, based on the angle of the courtyard, I deduced that you might be in your room. I didn't expect that there would be someone else staying there … Right, do you know the background of this pair of siblings? When I exchanged blows with them earlier, I could sense that their cultivation isn't weak. To possess such strength at their age, they shouldn't be nameless individuals. "
"You're obviously young, so why are you acting like an old man?" Zhu Yanai rolled her eyes. "I'm not sure either. The siblings seem to live in seclusion. According to the innkeeper, they seem to be merchants who came to Liaodong to buy ginseng."
"Merchants?" Recalling the scene just now, the handsome man and the beautiful woman, Song Qingshu fell into deep thought.
"Why are you in such a hurry to find me?" Zhu Yanai asked softly.
"It's mainly about saving Qingqing. I have a plan. In the next two or three days, I'm afraid I'll need you to accompany me to the Prince's Mansion." Speaking of Xia Qingqing, Song Qingshu's voice became quiet.
"The two of us are going to barge in just like that?" Zhu Yanai looked at him doubtfully.
"Of course not. I've thought of a secret plan." Song Qingshu said.
"That's it?" Zhu Yanai frowned. "What are we going to do?"
"Now is not the time to tell you. You'll know when the time comes." Song Qingshu didn't want to reveal his plan now.
Zhu Mang looked at him blankly. A hint of anger surfaced on his face, but it quickly disappeared. "If you don't trust your companions and think that you can accomplish everything by yourself," he said in an indifferent tone, "the worst that can happen is another Xiang Yu who committed suicide at the Wu River, and not the Liu Bang who founded the Han Dynasty for four hundred years."
Song Qingshu fell into silence. Looking at the beautiful face of the beauty in front of him, he sighed softly. "After all, you're the Holy Maiden of the Ming Dynasty."
"At least you'll tell me your concerns now, which is also a kind of progress." Hearing his words, a smile appeared on Zhu Yuai's face. She stretched her body and leisurely leaned on the bed. "To win others' trust, you have to trust them first. Since you don't trust me, I'll trust you. I won't ask about your plan. When the time comes, I'll do whatever you want me to do. If you are scheming against me, like capturing me and handing me over to Kangxi, or trying to avenge the Ming Cult, come … destroy my chastity, I'll admit it. Who told me to trust the wrong person? "
Looking at her smiling face, Song QingShu felt as if he had come into contact with a territory that he had never touched before. "Is this the bearing of the royal family?" Song Qingshu was a little absent-minded. He understood that no matter in his previous life or now, due to the limitations of his identity, he naturally lacked something valuable. He had laughed at Luo Binghong for having a low vision, but he was the same.
"What? Are you touched by me?" Zhu Yanai jumped off the bed, put her hands behind her back, and bent down to look into Song Qingshu's eyes.
"I'm wondering if the princess has ever considered marrying a husband." Song Qingshu raised his head and smiled.
Zhu Yanai immediately blushed. She shrank back and said lightly, "Don't think about it. I will never marry in this life. It's getting late, Prince Song, please go back. "
Hearing her order to leave, Song Qingshu smiled bitterly. Although he was still a little reluctant, he had to leave.
Noticing that Song Qingshu had left the inn, Su Yin asked in a low voice, "Xian Er, why did you expose your martial arts just now?"
"I thought he was a pervert. Who knew it was that bastard." Yelu Nanxian pouted and said angrily.
"Master Su, you really can't blame Xian Er in that situation." Yelu Qi hurriedly said.
"Although it wasn't exposed, I'm afraid it has already aroused his suspicion. Let's go to another inn." Su Yin said.
