"Tang Kuo Bian?" Huang Rong suddenly remembered the man she had beaten up with the Dog Beating Stick Technique. "I think I hit his spine. I'm afraid he won't be able to stand up for the rest of his life."
Song Qingshu smiled bitterly. "He won't be able to stand up. Fortunately, he won't have to worry about this anymore, because he's dead."
"Dead?" Huang Rong exclaimed. "I don't think I hit him that hard!"
"It's not because of you. It's because of someone else …" Song Qingshu briefly told her how Wanyan Liang had sent a killer to kill him.
"The Jin people deserve to be bitten by each other!" Huang Rong said bitterly. Her plan had failed largely because she had fallen into Tang Kuo Bian and Wanyan Liang's trap. How could she not be happy to see her enemy end up like this?
"They are indeed bitten each other, but it's not a good thing that Wanyan Liang's family is the only one in power now." Song Qingshu smiled noncommittally at Huang Rong's anger.
"Since Wanyan Liang wants to kill him, aren't you sending yourself into the tiger's mouth by pretending to be Tang Kuo Bian?" Huang Rong was confused.
"Wanyan Liang does want to kill him, but Tang Kuo Bian has a special status in the Jin Kingdom. His family is also very powerful, so Wanyan Liang can only kill him in secret. Last time, he could blame you for the assassination attempt. But now, if 'Tang Kuo Bian' returns with great fanfare, he won't be able to kill him." After staying in the Qing court for so long, Song Qingshu had some understanding of the rules of political strife, so it was easy for him to make such a judgment.
Huang Rong had always been smart, but what she lacked was the foresight and experience of someone in a high position. Song QingShu's words helped her understand what was going on. "That's right. If Tang Kuobian swaggered back to the mansion now, not only would Wanyan Liang not kill him, but he would also send more people to protect him, lest he was mistaken as the murderer."
"But …" Huang Rong suddenly thought of a key problem. "Tang Kuobian is not a hermit. There are at least 800 people in the city who know him, and Wan Yanliang is even more familiar with him. How are you going to pretend?"
Song Qingshu smiled faintly and said, "Rong 'er, you must know about human skin masks. I've already cut off Tang Kuo Bian's face. As long as you're careful, it won't be difficult to impersonate him."
He didn't tell Huang Rong the truth. In fact, he didn't need any human skin mask to disguise himself. The disguise technique was his biggest secret. It was related to the fate of a series of people. Although he had skin contact with Huang Rong now, it was far from the point of telling her all his secrets.
"A human skin mask!" Huang Rong's face paled. She was obviously disgusted. "This is too cruel."
Song QingShu smiled. "Tang Kuo Bian is dead anyway, so he won't feel any pain. Besides, I'm using his identity. If I avenge him one day, he'll be grateful to me."
"Alright, alright. I can't win against you in an argument." Huang Rong said angrily. "But even if you disguise yourself as Tang Kuo Bian, how will you get the antidote?"
"Didn't I just say that I'll use the identity of 'Tang Kuo Bian' to be poisoned?" Song Qingshu answered.
Huang Rong shook her head. She was obviously not sure. "Although Wanyan Liang wouldn't dare to do anything to Tang Kuo Bian, if he was poisoned, Wanyan Liang could take the opportunity to kill him and blame it on the poison."
Song Qingshu seemed to have expected this question. He smiled mysteriously and said, "So I can't go back by myself. I need you to escort me back …"
"Ah?" Huang Rong was even more confused.
"It's very simple," Song Qingshu explained. "I'll pretend to be Tang Kuo Bian and fall into your hands. In order to save your husband, you inject your husband's poisonous blood into my body. I'll be poisoned as well. Then you'll come to my door and ask Wanyan Liang to give you the antidote. Tang Kuo Bian will live. If you don't give me the antidote, I'll bury Tang Kuo Bian with your husband!"
"Wonderful!" Huang Rong's eyes lit up. Although Wanyan Liang wanted Tang Kuo Bian to die a thousand times, he would bear the crime of killing Tang Kuo Bian if he refused to give him the antidote in public. Although he was powerful, Tang Kuo Bian was the emperor's son-in-law, and the Tang Kuo Family was one of the top families in the Jin Kingdom. Wanyan Liang would not be able to bear the consequences. Therefore, he would probably agree to give up the antidote. In this way, he could also do the imperial family and the Tang Kuo Family a favor.
"But the antidote in Wanyan Liang's hands is fake. It's useless even if we get it." Huang Rong's face quickly darkened.
Song Qingshu reached out and stroked her hair. "Rong 'er, you're too worried. Think about it carefully. Although Wanyan Liang doesn't know the antidote is fake, Ouyang Feng knows it. Unless he wants the fake antidote to be exposed and publicly break with Wanyan Liang, he will definitely give the real antidote to Tang Kuo Bian."
Huang Rong seemed to be a little unaccustomed to his inadvertent intimate actions. She subconsciously shrank to the side and looked at the man in front of her with a complicated expression. She had to admit that although the other party's plan sounded abnormally dangerous, the possibility of success was also very high. What kind of person was he? On one hand, he was a shameless bastard, but on the other hand, he was a man that people admired …
"But you'll also be poisoned …" Huang Rong wanted to say something but stopped.
Song Qingshu looked at her affectionately and said in a charming voice, "Hero Guo is a great hero, admired by the world. I also admire him, but admiration is one thing. If I have to take such a big risk to save him, I will never do it. Rong 'er, you should know who I'm doing this for. "
Huang Rong's heart was in chaos. She subconsciously looked away, not daring to meet his burning gaze. "Thank … thank you."
Song Qingshu couldn't help but laugh at himself. "Rong 'er, compared to gratitude, I'm afraid you're more resentful."
Huang Rong fell silent. It would be a lie to say that she didn't hate him at all. Not only had he taken her body, but he had also played with her in front of her husband. She had even thought of taking him down with her while he was enjoying himself!
However, a woman's heart was like a needle at the bottom of the sea. Even Huang Rong herself didn't know what she was thinking.
…
The next morning, Wanyan Liang's face darkened when he saw the notice his subordinate brought back. The notice was written in Huang Rong's voice. It said that Tang Kuo Bian was now in her hands. If Wanyan Liang wanted him to live, he had to hand over the antidote for the Man's Milk before dark. Otherwise, Tang Kuo Bian would never see the sun tomorrow.
The reason why Wanyan Liang was so angry was not because he cared about Tang Kuo Bian's safety. He didn't care whether Tang Kuo Bian was dead or alive. The only thing he cared about were these notices. They were all over the streets of Kaifeng City!
"Find out! There must be a lot of Beggar Sect spies in the city!" Wanyan Liang roared angrily at his subordinate.
After his subordinate left, he still felt angry. He picked up a teacup and smashed it on the ground. "Who can tell me how Tang Kuo Bian fell into Huang Rong's hands!"
Back then, he had wanted to kill Tang Kuo Bian, so he had sent a team of loyal men to kill him. The men were highly skilled in martial arts, and Tang Kuo Bian was severely injured, so he thought it would be a piece of cake. Who would have thought that the team of loyal men would be wiped out, and Tang Kuo Bian was nowhere to be found.
These days, he had sent a large number of people to investigate Tang Kuo Bian's whereabouts, but there was no news. Just as Wanyan Liang was comforting himself that Tang Kuo Bian might be dead, he found out that he was in Huang Rong's hands!
Wanyan Liang didn't care much about Huang Rong's threat. The only thing he cared about was whether Tang Kuo Bian knew who killed him.
"Your Highness, you don't have to worry so much. Huang Rong wants the antidote, right? Let's give her the 'antidote'. Not only can we get rid of Guo Jing, we can also kill Tang Kuo Bian and push all the blame onto Huang Rong." Ouyang Feng suddenly spoke up. Of all the people present, he was the one who didn't want Guo Jing to be saved the most. Moreover, there was something wrong with the antidote they gave Wanyan Liang. He was afraid that Wanyan Liang would agree to their conditions.
"No!" Wanyan Liang flatly refused. "This matter has already caused a huge uproar. If Tang Kuo Bian dies, everyone will suspect me. My political enemies in the imperial court will never let go of such a good opportunity. Furthermore, Tang Kuo's family will seek revenge … We can't take this risk."
In fact, there was another reason that he didn't mention. His original plan was to get rid of Tang Kuo Bian quietly, then appear next to his wife, Ge Bi, in a warm and sunny manner. With his skills with women, he could take advantage of the pain of her husband's death, and then take advantage of her body and mind. As soon as he thought of Ge Bi unknowingly enjoying herself under the crotch of the enemy who killed her husband, Wan Yanliang trembled with excitement. But once Ge Bi suspected that he was the murderer who killed her husband, all of this would be for naught. Wan Yanliang absolutely could not tolerate the slightest flaw in his plan to hunt for a beauty.
"Brother Ouyang, we can't fake the antidote. That girl Huang Rong is full of tricks and cunning." Qiu Qianren was displeased when he thought about how he had suffered at her hands over and over again. "She poisoned Tang Kuo Bian with the same poison to guard against this. Once she gets the antidote, she'll definitely let Tang Kuo Bian take it first."
"Are we really going to give her the antidote just like that?" Ouyang Feng's eyes flickered and his expression darkened. No one knew what he was thinking.
