As a high-ranking general under Hong Li, Li Shiyao naturally knew Hong Li's plan. Hong Li saw that Kangxi's power was becoming more and more solid, and knew that if he didn't take action, he would probably be a peaceful prince for the rest of his life.
His previous plan was to unite with Wu Sangui and form a marriage alliance with him, then the two armies would join together and attack Yanjing from Shanhai Pass. As long as Yanjing was breached, the imperial court's control over other vast areas would naturally be settled.
Unfortunately, during Fu Kangan's diplomatic mission to Shanhai Pass, Wei Xiaobao and Princess Jianning died mysteriously. Although Hong Li and Wu Sangui guessed that it was Kangxi's plot, their relationship had already fallen to a freezing point.
Recently, the Mongolians took the initiative to stop the war and negotiate. Under the instigation of the new Fujin, Hong Li decided to completely subdue the Divine Dragon Island and unite with the Golden Snake Battalion in Shandong under the new Fujin to completely control the Bohai Sea. Then they would disembark from Tianjin Tanggu and directly attack Yanjing.
Many of Hong Li's knowledgeable subordinates pointed out that the truce was just the Mongolians' plan to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. If they rashly started a war with Kangxi, the Mongolians would reap the benefits.
But Hong Li had made up his mind. He was confident that his northern defense line could hold off the Mongolians for some time. Then he would use the Golden Snake Battalion in Shandong to attract Kangxi's attention. When Kangxi sent troops to suppress the rebellion and the capital was empty, he would directly attack the Yellow Dragon by sea. But he didn't want to explain these thoughts to his subordinates.
All these plans were based on controlling the Divine Dragon Island's navy. Therefore, Hong Li used the excuse of revenge for Fu Kangan, hoping to deceive Kangxi.
Seeing the uncertainty on Li Shiyao's face, Song QingShu smiled and said, "Lord Li is serving under Prince Bao while Yuanzhi's father is serving under Kangxi. Logically speaking, no matter who wins in the end, the glory of the Li family will be guaranteed. But what if the Mongolians are the only winners in the end?"
Song Qingshu's words hit Li Shiyao's heart. This had always been Li Shiyao's concern. Therefore, he was also a staunch anti-war supporter in Hong Li's camp.
"Kangxi has been paying attention to Prince Bao's movements. That's why he sent me to act according to the circumstances. Divine Dragon Island is an important chess piece to maintain the balance between the two sides. If Prince Bao occupies the island, Kangxi will certainly not sit by and a war will break out. "Song Qingshu added.
"But the army has already set out. We can't just return empty-handed," Li Shiyao said solemnly.
"Didn't Prince Bao claim to be seeking revenge for Fu Kang An? Then I will send the new Sect Master of Divine Dragon Island, Su Quan, to Shengjing. Won't he have a way out? "Song Qingshu said.
Li Shiyao pondered, 'This is the best of both worlds. Moreover, if the Prince controls the Sect Leader of the Divine Dragon Island, it is equivalent to indirectly controlling the Divine Dragon Cult, so he won't blame me for anything …'
"Alright, as long as Nephew Song hands over Su Quan, I will handle the work of the other two armies. We will not move for the time being. Wait until you go to Shengjing and see Prince Bao, then His Highness will decide whether to fight or make peace. "
"Thank you, Master Li." Song Qingshu was overjoyed.
The next day, Li Shiyao, Zhao Hui, and Hai Lancha gathered together. After a discussion, they decided to allocate three warships from the navy. Then, they would select martial arts experts from their respective bodyguards to accompany Song Qingshu and Su Quan to Shengjing.
"Madam, you are about to enter the tiger's mouth. Are you afraid?" Song Qingshu asked Su Quan with a smile as he looked out the window and saw the densely packed soldiers standing on the deck.
"Anyway, they have already handed their lives over to you. Do as you see fit." In fact, Su Quan was still full of fear for this journey. The feeling of not being able to control her own fate and being at the mercy of others was very bad. If it wasn't because of her trust in Song Qingshu, she would never take such a risk.
"Aren't you afraid that I will lie to you and sell you out?" The two of them were very close to each other. Song Qingshu could smell the orchid-like scent on Su Quan's body.
"Are you willing to do that?" Su Quan's eyes were full of smiles.
"I'm a little reluctant." Song Qingshu pulled a lock of Su Quan's hair and sniffed. "But no matter how beautiful a woman is, it cannot compare to a man's future."
Su Quan looked at him in a daze as if she was trying to distinguish the truth from the lies. But soon, her eyes curved into a crescent moon. "If I can help you exchange for a better future, I am willing."
Looking at the enchanting woman in front of him, Song Qingshu was startled. He was rather regretful. He felt as if he was playing with fire. If he really fell in love with her, it would be too dangerous.
"The trip to Shengjing is really hard to predict …" Song Qingshu sighed. "Now that the world's heroes are rising and vying for the throne in the Central Plains, the Divine Dragon Order is destined to become a vassal of one of the forces. No man can resist Madam's charm. Thinking that one day Madam is destined to be taken in as a concubine by some hero, I feel a little unwilling. "
Su Quan, on the other hand, did not think that far ahead. She was more worried about her own fate after the trip to Shengjing. Although Song QingShu was highly skilled in martial arts, he would not be able to protect her in Hongli's headquarters. However, after hearing Song Qingshu's words, she was surprised to find that this man seemed to have an ambition that was different from the ordinary martial artists.
Su Quan's eyes brightened, and a strange expression burst out. "If gongzi is willing, you can treat the Divine Dragon Island as your home at any time."
"Everyone in the family listens to Madam's orders. How can I dare to treat it as my home …" Song Qingshu smiled faintly. The expression on his face was difficult to understand.
Su Quan was a smart woman. She naturally knew what he was worried about. After hesitating for a moment, she seemed to have made a final decision. "The Divine Dragon Island has three treasures. I don't know if gongzi knows about them?"
"Oh? How come I don't know? What are the three treasures? "Song Qingshu sat up straight and became interested.
"The first one is the Leopard Embryo Tendon-Changing Pill. The Divine Dragon Sect can ensure the absolute loyalty of its subordinates through it." Su Quan pursed her lips and smiled.
"Using medicine to control it is not a long-term solution. However, in the short term, the effect is immediate. It can indeed be regarded as a treasure." Song Qingshu had always been curious about the principle of the Leopard Embryo Tendon-Changing Pill. Most of the purpose of this trip was for it. He was thinking about how to get the formula.
However, Su Quan smiled extremely charmingly. "Do you want to hear how the poison and antidote are made?"
"You tell me so easily?" Song Qingshu was stunned. He thought that Su Quan would use it as her amulet.
"I was prepared to use this formula to trade with Hong Li as a last resort. However, I suddenly changed my mind just now." Su Quan looked at Song Qingshu. Her eyes were full of tenderness. She pouted coquettishly. "Do you want to hear it or not?"
"Of course," Song Qingshu did not know how to respond to her. "Furen's gift is really too valuable …"
"Is this considered valuable?" The corners of Su Quan's mouth curved into a beautiful arc. She stretched out her hand and crooked her finger at Song Qingshu. "Come closer. It's all Hong Li's people outside. I don't want to let that lecherous Wangye take advantage of it."
Song QingShu turned to the side and felt Su Quan's soft lips breathing into his ear, as well as her slightly scattered breathing. He only felt his heart flutter.
"Gongzi, do you remember?" Su Quan did not expect that her voice would be so delicate.
"How could I dare to forget Furen's generous gift." Song Qingshu felt his body was unbearably hot. He knew that if he continued this ambiguous game, Su Quan would take the initiative. He was about to get up when Su Quan reached into the crook of his arm and hugged it tightly.
"I'm not a tiger. Why are you hiding? I haven't heard about the second treasure yet. " Seeing Song Qingshu's slightly embarrassed appearance, Su Quan was very pleased. She had used all kinds of seductive techniques on him before, but they had all failed. This time, she completely gave up on those complicated methods. Instead, she used a woman's natural charm. As expected, the other could not control himself.
Feeling the plump sensation on his arm, Song Qingshu blushed. "The second treasure must be even more valuable."
"Of course. This is related to a great treasure outside the Manchurian Qing Pass. There are only a few people in the world who know of this secret." A trace of pride appeared on Su Quan's face.
"Forty-two Chapter Sutra?" Song Qingshu asked.
Su Quan was startled. She suddenly remembered the various things in Shengjing. She tugged at him in annoyance. "I almost forgot. Last time in Shengjing, your fake Forty-two Chapter Sutra made me miserable."
"Weren't we enemies at that time?" Song Qingshu twisted his waist to dodge as he grabbed Su Quan's naughty little hand. "Then what about the third treasure?"
Her wrist was firmly held by Song Qingshu. Feeling the heat from his big hand, Su Quan sank into silence. "In my heart, the last treasure is much more valuable than the previous two. I'm still hesitating whether or not to give it to you."
"Since it's so difficult, forget it." Song Qingshu looked down. The skin under Su Quan's collar could be seen clearly. He did not know when it had started, but there was a trace of rosy red on it.
Su Quan seemed to have made a great decision. She slowly raised her head and stared at him with her beautiful eyes. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly. Her eyes were clear and sparkling, and there was a trace of mysterious light in the depths of her eyes. She said word by his ear, "The third treasure is me."
Having already reached this point, Su Quan was very worried that Song Qingshu would mercilessly reject her. She did not give him a chance to reply. Her beautiful red lips pressed on his ear and she lightly licked his earlobe.
Although he already had some guesses in his heart, he was still a little surprised when it came to it. A wave of numbness came over him. Song Qingshu asked in a low voice, "Didn't you say that I would first obtain your heart?"
"The future of this trip to Shengjing is unpredictable. I'm worried that I won't be able to protect my body." Su Quan's warm and moist lips gradually moved down. Her entire body was like a beautiful snake, half lying in Song Qingshu's arms.
Song Qingshu opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but Su Quan had already grabbed his hand and slid it into her collar.
"It seems to be broad daylight right now."
"What does that matter?"
"The soldiers outside will hear."
"Are you worried that Hong Li will find out that you've taken my head and harm you?"
"How can I be afraid of him!"
"Shh! Don't talk. "
