It turned out that the reason why the palanquin had vibrated was because they had arrived at their destination. Along the way, Song QingShu had the intention to observe their route, but the palanquin had been specially treated and had no windows. Other than the front door, the rest of the palanquin was completely sealed. Since he couldn't see the scenery outside, Song QingShu was happy to be at ease and simply rested from beginning to end. Even when the palanquin had arrived at its destination, he still didn't know where he was.
However, when he heard the voice of the woman outside, the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile. "I can wear out iron shoes in fruitless search, only to find it by chance."
Soon, someone opened the palanquin door. Wanyan Zhongjie was curious about the other party's identity and quickly walked out. When she saw the woman's appearance, she couldn't help but be stunned.
Her mother was the number one beauty of the Jin Kingdom in the past, and she was also recognized as the number one beauty of the Jin Kingdom in the next generation. Wanyan Zhongjie was very confident in her appearance, but the woman in front of her had a rosy complexion and radiance. She was very beautiful, but she also had a heroic and heroic spirit. At the same time, she was graceful and dignified. She had a dignified air that made people feel deep veneration and not dare to stare at her.
"This beautiful big sister has specially invited me over. May I know what's the matter?" Wanyan Zhongjie quickly came to her senses. She was in a dangerous situation and didn't have the time to admire the other party's beauty. She used the opportunity to ask questions to look around, but when she realized where she was, she couldn't help but frown.
She had originally thought that the palanquin would stop at the door or in the courtyard, but now that she was surrounded by dark stone walls, it was obvious that she was in a secret room.
"Sister Zhongjie, you remain calm in the face of danger. I admire you very much." The woman's smile suddenly froze because she realized that there was someone else in the palanquin.
"Who is he?" The woman frowned and looked at her subordinate.
"Miss Zhao, this is the son-in-law, Tang Kuo Bian. He was with Sister Zhongjie just now. His identity is special, so it wasn't convenient to deal with him. I was afraid that the news would leak, so I invited him back."
"The son-in-law? Is he Princess Ge Bi's husband?" Miss Zhao asked hurriedly.
"That's me. Could it be that Miss Zhao is acquainted with my madam?" Before the subordinate could speak, Song Qingshu walked out of the sedan chair and looked at Miss Zhao with a playful expression. It seemed that his guess was right, the master behind them was indeed Zhao Min.
"Princess Ge Bi is the number one beauty of the Jin Kingdom. I have long heard of you, but unfortunately, I have never had the chance to meet you." Zhao Min had already come back to her senses at this time. Although she was a little surprised that there was one more person, she had originally planned to investigate Ge Bi. It was just right for her husband to bump into her.
"That's a pity. You two should get along very well." After coming down, Song Qingshu also casually looked around and saw the same scene as Wanyan Zhongjie. He was also shocked and secretly guessed where this place was.
Zhao Min looked at him in confusion. For a moment, she seemed to see someone familiar, but this feeling came and went quickly. She quickly returned to normal and asked, "How does the son-in-law know that my surname is Zhao?"
Song Qingshu was shocked and pointed at one of her subordinates. "Didn't he just call you Miss Zhao?"
"Oh." Zhao Min nodded noncommittally. Seeing this, Song Qingshu was very glad that someone really did call him that. Otherwise, he would have really let it slip.
However, before he could finish his joy, Zhao Min said coldly, "Seal his acupoints and tie him up."
"Ah?" Song QingShu was stunned. His thoughts raced as he tried to figure out where he had exposed himself. However, no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't think of anything wrong, so he could only restrain his impulse.
At this time, Zhao Min's subordinates had already come forward to seal his acupoints. With Song Qingshu's current cultivation, it was very simple for him to change acupoints. He let the other side 'seal' his acupoints and then tie him up.
Song Qingshu smiled bitterly, "Did I offend Miss Zhao?"
"No, but this young lady will interrogate you alone later. I am a delicate woman, so I have to be careful." Zhao Min smiled sweetly. She was going to interrogate the two of them about Song Qingshu later. She didn't want Xu Wang's subordinates to hear it, so she would drive everyone else out of the room. Her martial arts was not high, but it was not low either. It was more than enough to deal with a young lady. However, Song Qingshu's current appearance was full of sideburns and he was impressively a powerful man, so she naturally had to be on guard.
Song QingShu rolled his eyes when he heard this. He thought to himself, 'You always call yourself a weak woman, but in reality, countless men are no match for you. You're really thick-skinned.'
Fortunately, the shackles on his body couldn't really bind him. Song Qingshu didn't care too much and just wanted to see what medicine she had up her sleeve.
Seeing that he had calmed down so quickly, Zhao Min's eyes flashed with a hint of praise, "Prince Consort, you really have a good bearing. No wonder you are favored by the number one beauty of the Jin Kingdom."
Song Qingshu smiled faintly and didn't reply. Instead, Wanyan Zhongjie, who was beside him, interrupted, "Beautiful sister, he is tall and sturdy, so it doesn't matter if he is tied up. However, I have soft skin and tender flesh, so there is no need to tie me up."
Zhao Min nodded her head slightly. According to the information she had, Wanyan Zhongjie didn't know any martial arts. She herself had learned from various famous martial arts masters, so her martial arts would be passable in Jianghu. Seeing the young lady's pitiful expression, she agreed.
Song Qingshu, who was watching from the side, laughed inwardly. An old fox had met another fox. This time, Zhao Min was going to suffer a loss. He was well aware of their martial arts. Although Zhao Min's martial arts weren't bad, Wanyan Zhongjie's was better. After all, Wanyan Liang had dared to assassinate so many experts and bodyguards. Coupled with the fact that Wanyan Zhongjie was unprepared, in a moment, Zhao Min, hehe …
Seeing that Song QingShu was already tied to the wall, Zhao Min waved her hand, indicating for her subordinates to leave. After all of them had left, Wanyan Zhongjie asked, "Sister Zhao, you spent so much effort to find me. What is the matter?"
"Actually, it's nothing much. I just want to ask you about someone," Zhao Min replied.
"Who is it that you want to ask about?" Wanyan Zhongjie was startled. She had thought of many possibilities, and every one of them was directed at her. However, she had never expected the answer to be this. Who was more important than her?
"Song Qingshu!" Zhao Min said word by word.
Song Qingshu, who was tied to the side, felt his heart skip a beat. He knew that Zhao Min would definitely investigate him, but he hadn't expected that she would use such a method to investigate him. At this time, he couldn't help but sigh. Zhao Min had racked her brains to find out about him, but in the end, he had found her first.
Although this was a secret room, as soon as he left, Song Qingshu would know where this place was. At that time, he would know which prince Zhao Min was hiding behind.
"Song Qingshu?" Wanyan Zhongjie wrinkled his nose, "This name sounds familiar."
Zhao Min's face lit up, "You know about him?"
"I remember now." Wanyan Zhongjie slapped her forehead, "He's the Golden Snake King who caused such a stir in the Qing Kingdom in Shandong. I heard that he single-handedly destroyed the Qing army of a hundred thousand. I've long wanted to meet such a great hero."
Although the Jin and Qing were allies, Wanyan Zhongjie's father and grandfather had been killed because they were involved in the power struggle of the Jin. She and her mother were left to be bullied. As a result, she didn't have much affection for the Jin. On the contrary, she hated all of them. When she heard that Song Qingshu had beaten the Qing army so badly that even the Jin court was shaken, she was naturally happy.
Song Qingshu had a strange expression on his face. He thought to himself that the rumors were really powerful. He had clearly used the thunderstorm to obstruct the charge of a few thousand Qing cavalrymen, and in the end, he had to rely on the Golden Snake Battalion to completely annihilate them. How could it be that he had single-handedly defeated the Qing army? A hundred thousand soldiers! Even if they stood there for me to chop, I wouldn't be able to kill them all in three days and three nights.
Zhao Min frowned, "You don't know him?"
"Should I know him?" Wanyan Zhongjie was also surprised.
Zhao Min carefully looked at her expression and saw that she didn't seem to be lying. She continued to ask, "Think about it carefully. Did you know anyone during this time? Or did anyone strange appear around you?"
"No. It's the same as before. There's no one suspicious," Wanyan Zhongjie replied bluntly.
"Think about it carefully. He must have appeared around you." Zhao Min took a sip of tea and said calmly.
Wanyan Zhongjie was puzzled, "Sister Zhao, why are you so sure that he appeared around me? I've only seen his name on the court bulletin and occasionally heard my friends talk about him. But he's far away in Shandong and has nothing to do with me. Why would he appear around me? "
Song Qingshu nodded his head repeatedly. He was clearly curious as to why Zhao Min was investigating him and Wanyan Zhongjie.
Zhao Min placed the teacup on the table and angrily said, "Because that scoundrel has a special trait. Wherever he goes, he hooks up with the prettiest girl there."
"What?" Song Qingshu almost fell to the ground. This reason was too nonsensical.
Wanyan Zhongjie was startled at first, but then he giggled, "Sister's way of thinking is quite unique. But I'm quite happy that my appearance has gained your approval."
Zhao Min frowned, "Sister Zhongjie, perhaps you don't understand the current situation. No one knows that you're here. If you can't give me a satisfactory answer, I won't let you go."
