"Uh …" Song Qingshu looked embarrassed and gloomy. "I didn't know you were a woman."
"Now that you know, why don't you let go?" Wanyan Zhongjie snorted, her cheeks turning pink.
Song QingShu sheepishly retracted his hand. He was also very unhappy that a young lady had rebuked him. He couldn't help but say, "Tsk, such small breasts. Do you think I want to touch them?"
"What did you say?" Wanyan Zhongjie's eyes almost spat fire.
"Nothing. I said a good man doesn't fight with a woman." In terms of roguishness, Song Qingshu could be said to be the ancestor of roguishness. How could he be fooled by a little girl?
√, v., v., v., v., √
Wanyan Zhongjie suffered a loss in silence. Looking at Song Qingshu's roguish expression, she knew that it wouldn't do her any good to continue bickering. With a straight face, she said, "Hurry up and unseal my acupoints."
Song Qingshu hesitated for a while, but still decided to unseal her acupoints. First, she was Ge Bi's niece. Even if he didn't want to give her face, he still had to give her face. Second, with his martial arts, he wasn't afraid that she would cause any trouble.
Wanyan Zhongjie was shocked when she saw that Song Qingshu had unsealed her acupoints just like that. However, she didn't show it. She stretched her arms and waved at him. "Okay, come with me to kill Wanyan Liang."
Song Qingshu was so angry that he laughed. "Why should I go with you to kill Wanyan Liang?"
"Because I know your secret." Wanyan Zhongjie turned around and smiled sweetly at him. He had to admit that although she was young, she already had a captivating charm.
"What secret?" Song Qingshu asked without batting an eyelid.
Wanyan Zhongjie held her hands behind her back and circled around him, sizing him up. After a long time, she opened her thin lips and said, "Because you aren't my uncle, Tang Kuo Bian."
Song Qingshu's heart skipped a beat as he replied expressionlessly, "I don't understand what you're talking about."
Wanyan Zhongjie smiled and said, "The last time you tried to assassinate Wanyan Liang, you caught my sword between your two fingers. At that time, I was very suspicious. Although Tang Kuo Bian is skilled with the bow and the horse, that's all on horseback. He doesn't know the martial arts of Jianghu. Afterwards, I went to investigate and found that no one had ever heard of Tang Kuo Bian practicing martial arts. In order to confirm it, I ambushed you again just now. Sure enough, it proves that your martial arts are unfathomable. Then tell me, how can you be Tang Kuo Bian? "
"If I'm not Tang Kuo Bian, who am I?" Song Qingshu had a headache. At that time, he had carelessly revealed his martial arts, and in the end, he was seen through by Ge Bi and her. It was really a miscalculation.
Wanyan Zhongjie shook his head, "I don't know who you are, and I don't want to know. I just need you to help me kill Wanyan Liang, and I will keep your secret."
"And if I don't help?" Song Qingshu said coldly.
"You are pretending to be Tang Kuo Bian because you want to use his identity to plan something big. If the whole capital finds out that you are a fake, how will you accomplish your goal?" Wanyan Zhongjie smiled, "Let's not talk about others. Let's talk about my aunt, who is known as the most beautiful woman in the Jin Kingdom. How will she react when she finds out the truth? If her pursuers find out that their goddess has been sleeping with a wild man, how will they react? Let me give you a friendly reminder: at least one-third of the nobles in the capital were my aunt's pursuers. You should think about the consequences … "
Before Wanyan Zhongjie could finish speaking, he felt his vision blur, and then his whole body was pressed against the wall. The hand around her throat was like an iron hoop, making it hard for her to breathe.
Song Qingshu looked at her calmly and said in a cold voice, "If I kill you, everything will be over."
After the initial panic, Wanyan Zhongjie had now calmed down. He looked back at him calmly, "Did you think that I came to see you alone without any preparations?"
"What do you mean?" Song Qingshu was stunned.
"I knew that I was meeting an extremely dangerous person. How could I come unprepared?" Wanyan Zhongjie's lips curled into a mocking smile, "I already made the appropriate arrangements. If I didn't return on time, the whole capital would know that you were pretending to be Tang Kuo Bian."
"How capable can a little girl like you be? I'll kill you and find your contact. Then, I'll kill him and everything will be fine." Song QingShu was unmoved as he said.
"You don't even know who my contact is. How are you going to kill him?" Although Wanyan Zhongjie was young, he was not intimidated. "Even if I tell you, you won't be able to find him."
"Oh? I don't believe you. "Song Qingshu deliberately provoked him.
"You don't have to provoke me. If I tell you, I won't be afraid of you finding him." Wanyan Zhongjie snorted, "Every three days, I go to the street to find a tanghulu seller. When he sees me, he will know that everything is fine and your secret will not be leaked. There are so many tanghulu sellers in the capital. Even if you know, you won't be able to find him. "
Song Qingshu frowned, suddenly realizing the flaw in her story. "Hmph, you're obviously lying to me. You're a noble lady. How can you show yourself in public so often? What if you have something to do that day? For example, the palace summons you and you can't meet the tanghulu seller?"
Unexpectedly, Wanyan Zhongjie did not panic at all. She calmly replied, "I made an agreement with that person. If I suddenly have something to do and can't go, he will send someone else. When the time comes, as long as I match his secret signal, it means that I'm fine."
"What was the secret signal you agreed on?" Song Qingshu tightened his grip.
Wanyan Zhongjie's small face immediately flushed red. "The person I sent would ask him, 'How much is the tanghulu?' and he would reply, 'Three taels of gold and three taels of silver for a skewer.' The person I sent would reply, 'It's so cheap. I'll pay five taels of gold and five taels of silver.' Then the person would know that I'm safe and sound."
Song Qingshu frowned. Why did this sound like Tian Di Hui's plan? Releasing her neck, Song Qingshu said in a low voice, "I keep feeling that you're lying to me. How could you possibly tell me the secret signal?"
"Of course I'm lying to you." Wanyan Zhongjie covered her neck and gasped for breath. "That tanghulu and that secret signal are all fake. I wouldn't be so stupid as to tell you the real thing. I just wanted to use this method to let you understand that even though I'm young, I have a lot of experience in Jianghu. I've long since made preparations to be foolproof."
"Fine, you win." Song Qingshu said indifferently. Although he still doubted whether Wanyan Zhongjie was telling the truth, he couldn't take any risks.
"Why do you want to kill Wanyan Liang?" Song Qingshu suddenly asked.
"You don't need to worry about that. You just need to help me kill him." As Wanyan Zhongjie spoke, she tore off her black clothes and threw them to the side, revealing a green maiden's dress. She then pulled Song Qingshu and walked out of the alley.
Her hand was soft and cold. Song Qingshu was slightly startled and asked, "Where are we going?"
"The Cool Breeze Brothel. Wanyan Liang is drinking there today. The guards around him are much weaker than usual," Wanyan Zhongjie replied without turning her head.
"You want to make a move today?" Song Qingshu groaned inwardly. He had originally planned to temporarily agree to her request and calm her down. Who knew that she would make a move so soon? He didn't really care about Wanyan Liang's life or death. What he cared about was how the upper echelons of the Jin Kingdom would redistribute their power after Wanyan Liang's death. It wasn't easy for him to find an opportunity to intervene in the upper echelons of the Jin Kingdom. He still needed time to make arrangements. If Wanyan Liang died now, he wouldn't be able to find such a good opportunity again.
Song QingShu was hesitating whether he should use the Soul Transfer Technique to control her and slowly ask her for information about the contact. Suddenly, his vision darkened. Looking up, he saw a group of fierce-looking people blocking the alley in front of him.
"Miss Zhongjie?" the leader asked.
Wanyan Zhongjie frowned slightly and asked, "You are?"
"My master wants to see you!" the leader replied.
"Who is your master?" Wanyan Zhongjie subconsciously took a step back.
"Miss Zhongjie, you'll know when you arrive," the leader replied coldly.
"I'm not interested in people who hide their heads and show their tails." Zhongjie pulled Song Qingshu along as they walked back. However, the sound of clothes fluttering could be heard. Several people had already jumped behind them and blocked their path of retreat.
"What is the meaning of this?" Zhongjie's expression changed.
"We are just following orders. Please don't make things difficult for us." Although the leader's expression was respectful, he didn't seem to be polite at all.
"It seems that you have a lot of wild bees and lascivious butterflies by your side." Song Qingshu couldn't wait for someone to come and cause trouble. At this time, he was rejoicing in Zhongjie's misfortune.
Zhongjie shook her head slightly and whispered in his ear, "These people are all experts. They aren't like the hedonistic young masters in the capital who can order them around. It seems that they have come with ill intentions. I'll leave them to you."
Song Qingshu was startled and asked, "Why don't you do it yourself?" Although Zhongjie's martial arts weren't good enough in front of him, he would still be considered a top-notch expert in Jianghu. He was more than enough to deal with these martial artists.
Zhongjie explained in a low voice, "No one in the capital knows that I know martial arts. I also don't know who's behind them. If I reveal my martial arts and Wanyan Liang hears about it, he might connect it to the previous assassination attempts. I can't take this risk."
Song Qingshu was very depressed and said, "Everyone knows that Tang Kuo Bian doesn't know martial arts. I revealed my martial arts once and you caught me. How could I dare to do it a second time?"
"If I don't do it, and you don't do it, then are we just going to let them capture us?" Wanyan Zhongjie's eyes were wide open and filled with disbelief.
"If we get captured, then we get captured." Song Qingshu had thought things through. If he dealt with these people, Ge Bi would immediately send him to assassinate Wanyan Liang. He was worried about this matter and would only act now if he were an idiot.
