From the onlookers' point of view, Yang Miaozhen's spear had indeed pierced into Song Qingshu's chest. However, Song Qingshu acted as if nothing had happened. Hearing his words, the onlookers suddenly realized that Yang Miaozhen had been merciful.
Yang Miaozhen blushed. She knew very well that Song Qingshu had planned to block her spear with his body and then used the force to retreat. Even if she hadn't been merciful, it would have been difficult for her spear to really hurt him. Since he said so, he must have been trying to save her face.
Yang Miaozhen looked at him gratefully. As the leader of the Greenwood Bandits, invincible prestige was very important to Yang Miaozhen. She didn't reveal the truth coyly, but acquiesced and secretly felt grateful.
Seeing Zhao Min from the corner of her eye, Yang Miaozhen had an idea and decided to help the couple. "When the sword aura was overflowing, if Prince Song hadn't been distracted by your companion's safety, I wouldn't have been able to turn the tide so quickly and fight with you for so long."
Zhao Min was shocked. "Yes, it was because Song Qingshu was distracted by looking at me …" She thought that they were enemies, but Song Qingshu still cared about her at such a critical moment. Zhao Min stood there in a daze. For a moment, her expression was rather complicated.
"Fourth Lady's spear art is divine. Song Mou has never seen such a brilliant spear art. I really admire you." Song Qingshu praised sincerely.
"Prince Song's sword art has reached the peak, and he's the first person I've met in so many years." Yang Miaozhen actually wanted to praise his body art more, but to prevent him from thinking that she was unconvinced of her defeat, she could only praise his sword art.
Song Qingshu couldn't help but smile. In fact, her spear art was not inferior to his sword art. It was just that under his ghostly body art, she fell into a situation where she couldn't use her strength. No wonder there was a hint of unwillingness in her voice.
"These two people flatter each other. It's really a little … shameless." Zhao Min, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but criticize.
Ren Yingying was obviously a little impatient. She said, "Song, it's easy as long as you admit that it's a tie. I said earlier that if it's a draw, it'll be your loss. Now you have nothing to say, right? "
Although her words were impolite, her voice was clear and melodious. It tickled the hearts of the men of the underworld who had never seen her before. They didn't expect that the awe-inspiring Holy Nun of the Sun Moon Divine Sect was actually such a delicate little girl.
"This …" Song Qingshu couldn't help but be speechless. He said it was a draw just now out of politeness. In order to give Yang Miaozhen a way out, he had forgotten the previous agreement. Now that he was being pushed around by Ren Yingying, it was hard for him to back down.
Yang Miaozhen also frowned, thinking that he was not giving her any face at all. However, due to Ren Yingying's status, it was not convenient for him to flare up.
Remembering that Zhao Min had always been resourceful, Song Qingshu hurriedly looked at her for help.
For some reason, Zhao Min had always disliked the vixen Madam Tang. Noticing the awkwardness on Song Qingshu's face, she couldn't help but smile. Pretending not to understand what he meant, she lightly leaned against the tree trunk behind her, looking like she was watching a good show.
Noticing the smug smile on Zhao Min's lips, Song Qingshu gnashed his teeth in hatred. However, when he saw her pale face and timidly leaning against the tree trunk, his anger immediately disappeared without a trace.
Seeing the pitiful expression on Song Qingshu's face, Zhao Min's cheeks heated up. Worried that Song Qingshu would be rash and do something unmanageable, she had no choice but to open her mouth slightly and silently say, "Wait."
"Wait?" Noticing the movement of Zhao Min's mouth, Song Qingshu was stunned, not understanding what she meant.
At this moment, three fireworks suddenly shot up in the distance. Yang Miaozhen's subordinates' expressions changed, and they hurriedly said, "Fourth Lady, a group of Jin Kingdom cavalry is coming this way. Since we can't do anything, we should retreat quickly, or else it will be too late."
Although the Red Coat Army was powerful, they had always been used for ambushes. If they were to face the elite cavalry of the Jin Kingdom head-on, they would definitely end up miserable.
Yang Miaozhen had originally intended to let Song Qingshu go, so she took the opportunity to say to Ren Yingying, "Good sister, the Jin Kingdom cavalry comes and goes like the wind, we should retreat quickly. You lead the Blackwood Cliff brothers and leave first, my brothers and I will cover you from behind. "
Ren Yingying looked at Song Qingshu reluctantly, but she also understood that they were forced to do so today. There was no way for her to avenge her previous humiliation, so she could only grit her teeth and lead the Sun Moon Sect members to retreat in a hurry.
Seeing that most of the Sun Moon Sect members had left, Yang Miaozhen mounted her horse and revealed her proud figure. She cupped her hands at Song Qingshu and said, "Prince Song, the mountains will never change, and the rivers will always flow. We will meet again someday."
"We will meet again someday!" Song Qingshu returned the salute.
Looking at Yang Miaozhen's gradually fading voice, Song Qingshu praised, "What a good Fourth Lady, a woman who is not inferior to men, valiant and heroic …"
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Min had already come to his side and slapped his shoulder, "She's already gone, no matter how much you praise her, she won't hear it."
"Hiss ~" Song Qingshu sucked in a breath of cold air, a pained expression on his face. Only then did Zhao Min notice that a large pool of blood had immediately seeped out of his chest. She panicked and said with a sobbing voice, "I … I didn't use any force, are you alright?" Now that the enemies were gone, Zhao Min could no longer lower her face to call him "Brother Song", but the anxiety in her voice was real.
"It's not your fault," Song Qingshu waved his hand, "It's Yang Miaozhen's spear just now … Although I was prepared, it was impossible to completely avoid it."
At this moment, the Jin Kingdom's cavalry had already arrived. The leading general saw the mess near the carriage and noticed that Song Qingshu and Zhao Min were obviously not Madam Tang's guards, so he hurriedly called out to his men, "Men, take down these two assassins for me."
"Bastard!" Madam Tang scolded, "If it weren't for these two young masters, I would have died in the hands of the Sun Moon Sect and the Red Coat Army. It's fine that you're late, but as soon as you come, you want to kill my two benefactors. What are your intentions? "
The Jin General hurriedly rolled down from his horse and knelt in front of Madam Tang with a face full of cold sweat, "I have eyes but failed to see. Please forgive me, Madam."
Song Qingshu and Zhao Min looked at each other, feeling strange. Judging from the Jin General's attire, he was probably at the level of the Kaifeng Garrison. Although the Chongyi Army's military governor was of a higher status than him, he should not be so reverent as to curry favor with his wife.
Madam Tang snorted coldly, "Let's go back to Kaifeng first. Do you have any good medicine for wounds? Bring it all to me."
"Yes, yes!" The Jin General hurriedly nodded and turned to call out to his men.
"Send it to the carriage in a moment."
Madam Tang ignored him and turned to Song Qingshu's side. A gentle smile immediately appeared on her face, and she said with concern, "Prince Song, quickly go to the carriage and rest."
Some men had already tidied up the mess in the carriage. Zhao Min was also seriously injured and couldn't move much, so Madam Tang personally took Song Qingshu's hand and helped him to the carriage.
He didn't know if Mrs. Tang did it on purpose or not, but she pressed Song QingShu's arm tightly against the outside of her chest. The soft touch made Song QingShu stunned. His injuries weren't serious enough to require support, but at this time, he swallowed the words of refusal that were on the tip of his tongue.
Although Song Qingshu might not have any feelings for Madam Tang, since Madam Tang didn't care, why should he cherish her for her?
"I deceived you with an alias just now. Please forgive me, Madam." Song Qingshu apologized to Madam Tang after getting into the carriage.
"It's always good to be careful when you're outside. What's more," Madam Tang's beautiful eyes wandered, and she smiled charmingly, "it's you again, Prince Song."
Seeing that Song Qingshu wanted to say something, Madam Tang made a shushing gesture. It turned out that the Jin General had just brought the wound medicine. After sending him away, Madam Tang whispered to Song Qingshu, "The Jin Kingdom and the Qing Kingdom are brotherly countries. The world knows that Prince Song tried to assassinate Kangxi. I can guarantee that my men won't speak, but I can't restrain others. If people know your identity, it's hard to guarantee that they won't have evil thoughts and capture you to take credit. Our Emperor will definitely be happy to give you as a gift to Kangxi. "
"Originally, with Young Master's martial arts, you wouldn't need to care about these small fries. However, Young Master is currently injured, so you must not reveal your identity." Madam Tang's voice was usually soft and charming, but at this moment, there was a trace of seriousness.
"I didn't expect this vixen to be so good to you." Zhao Min whispered in Song Qingshu's ear.
Song Qingshu smiled bitterly. Even if he was really captured and sent to Kangxi, it was no big deal. The "Emperor" of the Forbidden City was one of them. However, if he was defeated by a group of cats and dogs, Dongfang Muxue would probably laugh at him. He couldn't afford to lose that face.
"Thank you for your kindness, Madam. As a noble of the Jin Kingdom, it must be very difficult for you to help me like this. I am really sorry." Song Qingshu thanked her.
"Young Master, you don't have to worry. I don't care about national affairs. I usually respect heroes like Young Master the most." Madam Tang's cheeks flushed. "What's more, Young Master saved my life. Even if Young Master wants it … I will satisfy Young Master."
"Shameless." Zhao Min curled her lips. She was slightly angry in her heart, and the favorable impression she had towards Mo Tiange disappeared completely.
“？” Song Qingshu was dumbfounded. Although Madam Tang said it ambiguously, she didn't say anything when it came to it. So, Song Qingshu didn't even know how to refuse.
"I will help you undress." Madam Tang's face showed a trace of a gorgeous color. She said this as if she was very shy.
Now it was Zhao Min's turn to be dumbfounded. She never expected that this woman would be so impatient. In front of an outsider, she was actually going to do that kind of disgusting thing with Song Qingshu.
Seeing that Song Qingshu had no intention to refuse, Zhao Min was even more disdainful. She felt a burst of irritation and couldn't help saying, "You go ahead. I will go outside to get some air."
