Qiu Qianren's current mood was hard to describe with words. In his heart, he couldn't help but curse Ouyang Feng for having no moral integrity. However, he only dared to think about it. He couldn't defeat Song Qing alone, let alone the vicious and merciless Western Poison.
He was quick to react and knew that Wanyan Liang's defeat was inevitable. He had relied on Wanyan Liang in pursuit of wealth and glory, how could he be so foolish as to sell his life to him?
When he heard Song Qing's question, he laughed awkwardly and coughed before replying in a serious manner, "Brother Ouyang and I have been friends for many years and have always advanced and retreated together. This time is no exception."
Ouyang Feng looked at him strangely and thought, "When did our relationship become so good? In terms of shamelessness, there aren't many people who can compare to him." But Ouyang Feng was just silently cursing him. At this time, how could he expose the other party?
Seeing that the grandmaster he had spent a large sum of money to invite had suddenly turned against him, Wanyan Liang cursed angrily and hurriedly grabbed Taj-tish and Empress Pei Man to shield him. "Surnamed Song, I admit defeat today, but if you want the two of them to live, you must let me go."
Song Qing revealed a surprised expression. "Your Highness, are you mistaken? These two women are not related to me in any way, why should I let you go for them?"
Although Empress Pei Man knew that he was saying this on purpose, she couldn't help but feel uneasy. She was worried that Song Qing would really burn the bridge after crossing the river. However, she was someone who had weathered many storms and knew that if Wanyan Liang found out about her relationship with Song Qing, the disadvantages would be greater than the advantages. She resisted the impulse and kept her mouth shut.
Compared to her, Taj-tish was much calmer. Whether she ended up in Wanyan Liang's or Song Qing's hands, it would not be a good thing for her.
"Let's not beat around the bush. After Wanyan Rui's death, he will be in control of Empress Pei Man. You and I both know very well what kind of effect that will have," Wanyan Liang said quickly, "As for this Zi Shan Dragon Queen, she is even more beautiful. Which man would not be moved by her? This king will use them to exchange for a safe escape. If you don't agree, worst comes to worst, this king will perish together with them! "
Wan Yanliang had already thought it through. Today's defeat was already decided, so there was no point in forcing him to stay in the capital. When he left the capital and gathered some trusted generals, he should be able to gather another reliable army. When the time came, he could take advantage of the Emperor's death and the court's lack of a leader to return to the capital. He might have a chance to turn the situation around.
Song Qing nodded, "I have to admit that what you said is very attractive. How about this, you let them go, and I will let you go."
Wanyan Liang was so angry that he laughed, "Do you think I am a three-year-old? Without a hostage, how can I leave alive? Once this King reaches a safe place, I will naturally let them go. "
Song Qing declined to comment. Instead, he said to Ouyang Feng and Qiu Qianren, "May I trouble the two of you to clean up these people?"
Ouyang Feng glanced at Wanyan Liang's demoralized soldiers and revealed a cruel smile, "No problem." His figure flashed, and all sorts of pitiful screams could be heard.
Qiu Qianren was also very straightforward. Since he had already pledged his allegiance to him, he would do his best to leave a good impression on his new master. Unwilling to fall behind, he pounced on the soldiers.
Although the soldiers that Wanyan Liang had brought with him were carefully selected, after witnessing the sudden change in the situation, they knew that defeat was inevitable. Their morale was gone, and they all ran away. The two grandmasters were like tigers in a flock of sheep. In the blink of an eye, they slaughtered the soldiers.
Seeing this, Wanyan Liang was both shocked and angry, "Song, what is the meaning of this?"
Song Qing calmly replied, "I agreed to let you go, but I didn't agree to let your subordinates go. Is there a problem?"
"Fine, fine!" Wanyan Liang was so angry that his teeth chattered, but there was nothing he could do. "Then can I go now?"
"Wait a moment." Song Qing took out a pen and paper from somewhere and threw it in front of him, "Your Highness must be planning to leave the capital soon. It would be inconvenient to bring the Princess with you. The Princess is delicate and precious, so I'm afraid she won't be able to endure much hardship. Why don't you leave her in the capital? I will take good care of her on your behalf. Of course, in order to avoid any misunderstandings, I would like to ask your Highness to write a contract so that I can properly take care of her. "
"Song, don't go too far!" Wanyan Liang was shocked and angry when he heard this. All these years, he had used his power to 'take care' of many people's wives. How could he not know what the other party meant by 'taking care' of her?
Song Qing calmly smiled, "Your Highness, you must think this through. Are you really going to throw your life away for a woman?"
Wanyan Liang's face darkened. The other party's words were full of malice. He knew that the other party wanted to find an excuse to kill him, so how could he dare to risk his own life?
Thinking about how he had to leave the capital as soon as possible, Wanyan Liang knew that he would not be able to take his wife with him. Even if he didn't agree, his wife's fate would not change.
Thinking about this, he felt much better. Gritting his teeth, he agreed, "Fine, I will write it." At the same time, he swore to himself that when he returned to the capital with his troops, he would execute Song Qing's entire family and humiliate all of his women countless times. Only then would he be able to vent his hatred.
The rest of the people who witnessed this all had strange expressions on their faces.
Ouyang Feng thought that Song Qing was sometimes a gentleman, but when he was shameless, even someone like Wanyan Liang couldn't compare to him. It seemed that revenge on Guo Jing and Huang Rong would fall on Song Qing's shoulders.
Qiu Qianren's face twitched, but he was more happy in his heart. In this chaotic world, it was useless to be a good person. Only those with better means would be able to laugh in the end. He didn't want to experience what happened today again. Although he had never been a loyal person, who would be willing to do something like changing their allegiance?
Empress Pei Man had a worried look on her face. She knew a thing or two about Wan Yanliang's petty deeds over the past few years, and now he was getting what he deserved. She was mainly shocked by Song Qing's series of ruthless methods. Before this, in her heart, Song Qing was just a perfect lover and a perfect substitute. After she was pregnant, his value could only be considered to be slightly better than nothing. She had originally wanted to be an Empress Dowager who wielded great power and authority from behind the curtains, but now it seemed that this plan was destined to fail.
Taj-tish began to doubt her previous judgment. Was falling into this man's hands better than falling into Wanyan Liang's hands?
