After Song Qingshu and He Tieshou, now called He Qing, separated, they searched in the direction of his former mansion. Along the way, Song Qingshu was thinking about the problem of money. Although the Golden Snake Camp had gained a lot from conquering the prefectural government, the daily expenditure of money and food for the tens of thousands of people was an astronomical figure. The money and food seized from the government could barely cover the Golden Snake Camp's expenses for a year.
Moreover, building an intelligence network was also a matter of burning money. In the beginning, Sang Feihong's Five Lakes Sect's start-up funds came from the tributes that Song QingShu had received from various places when he was an official in the Manchurian Qing Dynasty. After Song QingShu assassinated Kangxi, of course, this path was cut off. Moreover, as the Five Lakes Sect's intelligence network expanded, he could no longer rely on his own private stash of money to support it. In the end, he could only turn his attention to the silver that Wei Xiaobao had embezzled.
In the original work, Wei Xiaobao had embezzled more than three million taels of silver. Now, because of his early death, he did not embezzle that much, but he still had about one million taels of silver. He had always kept this money a secret. Not only did Kangxi not know, even Shuang 'er did not know.
Later, the Tong family took advantage of Wei Xiaobao's death to seek revenge. Then, after the Divine Dragon Island caused trouble, the nominal mistress of the Wei Mansion, Shuang 'er, also went to the Dongting Lake King Of Medicine Manor. The Viscount Mansion was secretly controlled by Song Qingshu. Naturally, Wei Xiaobao's secret treasure was also kindly accepted by him. Song Qingshu did not feel guilty about this. After all, the silver that Wei Xiaobao had embezzled was the fat of the people that officials at all levels had collected. He used it for the great cause of driving out the Tartars, which could be regarded as benefiting the people.
In the past two years, the Five Lakes Sect's activities had relied on Wei Xiaobao's stolen money. However, this silver was currently only enough to support this intelligence network. He had to think of another way to fund He Qing's brothel intelligence network.
Song Qingshu's current plan was to temporarily use the money in Kangxi's palace treasury to start this plan. However, using the palace treasury was too big of a target, and it was not a long-term solution. He had to think of another way as soon as possible.
As a result, Song Qingshu naturally thought of the few famous treasures in Jin Yong's world. Liang Yuandi's treasures were far away in Jingzhou, Gaochang's treasures were just a joke, and Yuan Chengzhi had already taken out the treasures of the Great Attack Workshop. What was left was only the treasures of the Roaming King and the treasures of the Great Qing's Dragon Vein.
"I wonder how Eunuch Sunflower's draconic energy is doing...?"
Strangely enough, ever since Eunuch Sunflower had started absorbing the Qing Dynasty's Dragon Vein, the Qing Dynasty's fortunes seemed to have dimmed. Back then, the Qing Dynasty had been thriving with each passing day, so much so that it was almost on par with the Mongols. But now, Song Qingshu knew that under the Qing Dynasty's strong exterior, there was danger lurking everywhere, and it was riddled with holes.
"Could it be that the illusory Dragon Vein is real?" Song Qingshu couldn't help but shiver. It was better not to go to Mount Luding unless it was absolutely necessary. Who knew what kind of old monster Patriarch Sunflower would turn into after absorbing enough dragon qi.
Song Qingshu began to ponder. Be it Icy Snow or Nan Lan's Phoenix Hairpin, he could find the location of the treasure. His only headache now was how to transport the treasure from outside the pass without anyone noticing …
As he pondered along the way, Song Qingshu had unknowingly arrived outside his former residence in the capital. Looking at the signboard, the Song Residence had been replaced by the Tian Residence. Song Qingshu was momentarily lost in thought. Back then, when he had assassinated Kangxi, the Manchurian Imperial Court naturally could not tolerate anything of his. It was only because he had secretly protected Kangxi that Tian Guinong and Nan Lan had not been implicated. However, the signboard of the Song Residence naturally could not.
(To continue this chapter, please turn the page.) Brazenly continued to hang it.
"I wonder if Icy Snow is used to living here …" Song Qingshu's heart fluttered slightly. Back at the Golden Snake Convention, Icy Snow was unwilling to meet with Song Qingshu's other women, so she secretly brought Miao Ruolan to Yan Jing City to look for Nan Lan. Calculating the days, she should have arrived long ago.
Song Qingshu was about to push the door open when he suddenly heard the faint sound of a little girl crying in the courtyard, along with a woman's delicate voice. Song Qingshu couldn't help but be startled. He could recognize the voices of two women. The little girl was Miao Ruolan, while the mature woman's voice should be Nan Lan's.
"It seems that Nan Lan is teaching her daughter a lesson. It would be a bit awkward to enter at this time …" Song Qingshu hesitated for a long time and gave up on entering from the front door. Instead, he went to the side of the courtyard and with a leap, hid in a luxuriant tree in the courtyard. He was also very curious. Little Ruolan was so cute, so why would Nan Lan be so angry?
In the courtyard, a little girl with delicate makeup was running with all her might. Behind her was a graceful young woman holding a feather duster, chasing after her with all her might. The little girl was Miao Ruolan. As she ran, she cried, "When I grow up, I will marry Big Brother Qingshu. He is an indomitable great hero …"
Song Qingshu suddenly had a strange expression on his face. He didn't expect his charm to be so great that even Little Ruolan was captivated by him.
The graceful young woman chasing behind seemed to be a little tired and couldn't help but stop to catch her breath. Her full chest rose and fell like waves. When she heard her daughter's words, she immediately became anxious, "No! No matter who you marry, you can't marry him! "
This young woman was naturally Nan Lan who had been separated from her for a long time. Perhaps it was because of the exercise, there were beads of sweat on her temples and her snow-white skin faintly revealed a trace of captivating red.
"Why not?" Miao Ruolan suddenly became anxious.
When she heard her daughter's question, Nan Lan suddenly felt suffocated and secretly complained in her heart. My good daughter, Mother can't tell you that the great hero in your heart is actually a demon. Mother was …
When she thought of the scene where she was bullied by that person, Nan Lan's body became a little weak. She could only grit her teeth and said, "If Mother says no, then no!"
"Mother, do you want to marry Big Brother Qingshu?" Miao Ruolan suddenly put her hands on her hips and looked at her mother angrily.
Nan Lan's heart jumped and she hurriedly looked around. When she saw that no one had heard her, she secretly heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, she couldn't help but become angry and glared at her daughter, "How can you say such nonsense!"
"Who asked mother to not be able to give a reason? I hate you so much." Miao Ruolan cried and ran into the house while wiping her tears, leaving Nan Lan alone in the same place.
When she thought of her daughter's resentful eyes, Nan Lan felt a pain in her heart and subconsciously bent down to cover her chest.
"Young lady, are you feeling uncomfortable? Do you want this young man to help you rub it?" Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded in her ear. Nan Lan suddenly turned around and found that the man that she dreamed of every night had appeared in front of her.
"You … you …" Nan Lan subconsciously took a step back, but her foot tripped on the stone stool on the ground and her whole body involuntarily fell to the ground.
"Little lady, you have to be careful when you walk." Song QingShu stretched out his arm and hugged her round waist, pulling her back.
Nan Lan loved and hated Song Qingshu's familiar aura, and for a moment, her emotions were so complicated that she forgot to resist.
Suddenly, she had mixed feelings and even forgot to resist. However, she suddenly remembered that things were different now. Her daughter was still here, so she could not help but push him. "Let me go, Ruolan is still nearby."
Song Qingshu didn't let go of her hand. Instead, he reached out and rubbed her chest, "Are you feeling uncomfortable here?"
"No ~" Nan Lan's body suddenly softened. She felt that her body was completely unable to refuse the other party. She had no choice but to summon the remnants of her reason and moan, "I beg you, at least not here …"
Song Qingshu had only wanted to tease her a little, but he had never expected her body to be so sensitive. Looking at the beauty in his arms, her starry eyes seemed to be opened and closed, and there were faint traces of tears flowing down her cheeks. Her rosy lips were slightly opened, and her breath smelled like orchids. Song Qingshu's heart suddenly became restless. He picked Nan Lan up by the waist and quickly walked to the room next to them.
Miao Ruolan, who was hiding behind a window not far away, looked at the two disappearing figures. She bit her lip so hard that it almost bled. Her whole body trembled, and she couldn't suppress the anger in her heart. No wonder mother doesn't allow me to like Brother Qingshu. It turns out that she and him …
Not long after, the little girl became excited again. It turns out that Brother Qingshu likes women who are more mature. Hmph, in a few years, I don't believe that I can't beat mother!
With Song Qingshu's martial arts, he naturally knew that Miao Ruolan was hiding at the side. The reason why he deliberately showed such an intimate side to Nan Lan was to cut off the girl's thoughts.
Although he was dissolute, he was not a pervert. Miao Ruolan was still a little girl. It was only because he had saved her that she had strange feelings for him. However, she was still too young and did not have enough judgment. Song QingShu did not want to take advantage of her inexperience. So, he simply made a ruthless move and cut off the young girl's feelings.
Unfortunately, no matter how much Song Qingshu understood a woman's mind, he couldn't understand the inner world of a little girl …
At first, Song Qingshu only wanted to put on a show. He didn't expect that Nan Lan's body would be so irresistible. Feeling the woman in his arms as soft as a ball of cotton, how could he resist? So he simply put on a show.
"What … what's wrong?" Nan Lan felt Song Qingshu's body stiffen. She couldn't help but ask shyly.
How could Song Qingshu's body not stiffen? He sensed a gentle footstep cautiously walking to the window. The person seemed to be very hesitant, but in the end, she stretched out her slender finger and touched the tip of her tongue. Then, she gently poked a hole in the window.
From the sound of her breathing, it was obvious that the person outside did not know martial arts. However, her footsteps were much lighter than ordinary people's. Song QingShu immediately realized that the person who came in was a little girl, and the only little girl in this courtyard was Miao Ruolan.
This made Song Qingshu feel awkward. Her daughter was watching from outside. How could he continue to bully Nan Lan? However, he was halfway through bullying her. If he gave up now and Nan Lan found out that something was wrong, how would he clean up the mess?
Just as he was stuck between a rock and a hard place, Nan Lan gently twisted her waist and gently and shyly invited him to continue.
"If I die, then so be it!" Song Qingshu made up his mind and simply pretended that he didn't notice Miao Ruolan.
Inside and outside the house, three heavy breathing sounds could be heard. Nan Lan quickly noticed that the man on top of her was a little more excited than usual. She thought that it was because they hadn't seen each other for a long time. How could she know the truth …
