"If it was in the past, I would say that time will prove everything, but now, there is someone else who can prove it." Song Qingshu said.
"Who?" Zhu Yaoyao still found it hard to believe when she first heard about Zhang Wuji's completely different side.
"On the way to the Golden Snake Battalion, I happened to fight with Zhang Wuji again. The reason was that I ran into him interrogating Miao Renfeng about the whereabouts of the Chuang King's treasure." Song Qingshu replied.
"Miao Renfeng … what is her relationship with the four Imperial Guards of the Chuang King?" Zhu Yaoyao said hatefully. Years ago, she felt that she had some achievements in martial arts. She wanted to share her father's burden, so she quietly sneaked into Li Zicheng's military camp and tried to assassinate him. As a result, she encountered several old men with excellent martial arts. Fortunately, her Lightness Skill was excellent, so she escaped with her life. At that time, she found out that those old men were Li Zicheng's famous Four Imperial Guards, Miao Hu, Tian Fan.
"Miao Renfeng is the descendant of the Imperial Guards surnamed Miao." Song Qingshu cursed inwardly. Zhu Yaoyao and Li Zicheng had a blood feud, so she hated Miao Renfeng as well. What if she knew Miao Ruolan and Icy Snow's identity and wanted to kill them?
"What about the Chuang King's treasure?" Zhu Yaoyao did not continue to pursue Miao Renfeng's question.
Song Qingshu told her about how the four Imperial Guards hid Li Zicheng's wealth and treasures in order to make a comeback. Zhu Yaoyao sneered: "That year, my father took out all the silver in the palace treasury to pay for the army. He was such a prideful person that he could not even bear to change his dragon robe. He was also worried that he would be ridiculed by the ministers, so he could only sit upright and cover up the holes … When news came from the capital that Li Zicheng was about to attack, my father called on all the court officials to donate money to pay for the army. In the end, there were only a few tens of thousands of taels of silver."
"Which of these people does not have millions of assets? They had a good plan. Anyway, when Li Zicheng became the new Emperor, they would continue to be their ministers and continue to enjoy their wealth. Naturally, they would not be willing to donate anything. As a result, when Li Zicheng attacked Beijing, unlike my Fu Huang who begged them, he directly killed them all, and sent troops to plunder all the gold, silver and valuables in their homes. Humph, although I hate the intruders to the bone, this matter is very satisfying for me. "
Seeing that Zhu Xiaoyi was getting more and more emotional as she spoke, with tears in her eyes, Song QingShu knew that she was thinking of her father who had died for the country. He could not help but sigh faintly. He reached out to hug her and gently patted her shoulder to comfort her.
Zhu Yue's body stiffened at first, but she did not struggle. Instead, she leaned her head on Song Qingshu's shoulder and sobbed quietly.
After a long time, Zhu Yue raised her head with red eyes. She gently pushed Song Qingshu aside and wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes with her jade-like fingers. She looked at him and said with a somewhat unnatural expression, "I have heard a little about the Roaming King's treasure, but I thought it was just an illusory rumor."
"The Roaming King's treasure does exist, otherwise, Zhang Wuji would not have traveled thousands of miles to the Central Plains to interrogate Miao Renfeng." Song Qingshu roughly explained what happened that day.
"The witness you mentioned is Miao Renfeng's daughter? Where is she now? "Zhu Yue suddenly asked.
Song Qingshu was startled by her; he hastily asked, "What do you want to do?"
Noticing Song Qingshu's intense reaction, Zhu Yue was startled at first, but she quickly understood his concern. She could not help but burst into laughter. "Do you think I want to kill her?" she asked.
Song Qingshu nodded awkwardly. "You hate Li Zicheng so much, and Ruolan is the descendant of the Four Great Imperial Guards …"
"As the saying goes, every debt has its debtor. The Four Great Imperial Guards are just serving their masters, so why would I vent my anger on their descendants?" Zhu Yue suddenly looked at him with hidden bitterness. "Am I such a vicious woman in your heart?" "Of course not." Song Qingshu broke out in a cold sweat and quickly changed the topic. "Ruolan is now in an inn in the nearby town. You can ask her whenever you want."
Zhu Yue shook her head. "Why would I ask her?"
Song Qingshu was startled. He subconsciously replied, "Isn't it to verify what happened that day?"
Zhu Yue suddenly blushed and glared at him snappily. "What is your relationship with me … How could I believe Zhang Wuji and suspect you?"
Song Qingshu was stunned at first, but then he said with great joy, "Ninth Princess, you … you …"
A trace of shyness appeared on Zhu Yue's face. She lowered her head, pursed her lips, and said softly, "From now on … you can call me A 'Jiu."
Happiness came too suddenly. Song Qingshu did not seem to believe it and reached out to hug her. Unexpectedly, Zhu Yue did not struggle at all and fell into his arms shyly.
Song Qingshu pinched his thigh in disbelief. A storm surged in his heart. 'Could it be that I also have the aura of a male protagonist? Or some kind of stallion halo? '
At this moment, tears streamed down Song QingShu's cheeks. Ever since he came to this world, he often had to use all means to get close to the women who moved his heart. Sometimes, it would even cause the women to hate him to the bone. He had never met a woman who willingly came to him like Zhu Yaoyao. Not to mention, with her peerless beauty, noble identity, and powerful martial arts, ordinary women could not compare to her.
In fact, this was the reason why Song Qingshu's ideas had not completely changed. In his previous life, a woman's chastity was not so important, and one-night stands were very common. Therefore, after using that method to treat Zhu Yue's injury last time, Song Qingshu did not expect anything more. He felt that it was an urgent matter.
However, Zhu Yue was different from him. As a native of this world and a princess of a country, the concept of being faithful to one man was deeply rooted in her bones. Although she was caught off guard at that time, after she left, she calmed down and knew that she could not marry anyone else.
What's more, Song Qingshu's appearance and martial arts were all top notch. Zhu Yue had a good impression of him when they met several times before. At first, she was a little hesitant. Knowing that she would be rushing to overthrow the Qing court for the rest of her life, she was worried that she would drag Song Qingshu down. Later, when she heard the news that he had assassinated Kangxi, Zhu Yue made up her mind.
Therefore, she firmly refused Zhang Wuji's invitation to stay, resigned from the position of Holy Maiden of the Ming Dynasty, and returned to the Central Plains from the Western Regions. When she heard the news that the Golden Snake Camp was re-electing a new Golden Snake King, Zhu Yue was moved. She wanted to help her lover win, so she contacted the former Ming General Situ Bolei.
If it were not for Zhu Yue, no matter how much Situ Bolei appreciated Song Qingshu, he would not have given away a female disciple as soon as they met.
It was also Zhu Yue's idea to let Zeng Rou marry Song Qingshu. She understood that the Ming Dynasty had fallen, and she could not completely rely on some illusory name of loyalty to win over her subordinates. Therefore, she planned to completely tie Situ Bolei to the same chariot.
Situ Bolei was originally optimistic about Song Qingshu, so he naturally promised to marry Zeng Rou to Situ Bolei. This made Zhu Yue anxious, so she had to hesitantly hint about her relationship with Song Qingshu.
Situ Bolei was an experienced man, so how could he not understand that with his relationship with Zeng Rou's father and his love for Zeng Rou for so many years, there was no reason for him to let Zeng Rou be someone else's concubine. But if he could share the same husband with the Ming Dynasty's princess … Situ Bolei was happy for his old friend. After being stunned for a moment, he also agreed. That was why the incident in the hall just now happened.
