Xiao Yu was completely dumbfounded. As matters stood, how could he not know that the person Song Qingshu was truly interested in was not Prince Xu, Wanyan Yong, nor the Mongolian Princess Shao Min, but Murong Jingyue.
"When … when I saved him back then, it was just a small effort. I didn't … take his words to heart, so I … I don't remember going to the place he mentioned." Xiao Yu's back was drenched in sweat. He wanted to find an excuse to bluff his way out of this, but as soon as he met Song Qingshu's eyes, he felt as if he had been seen through from the outside to the inside. How could he dare to play any tricks?
"You don't remember?" Song Qingshu was almost angered to death. What was the difference between this and not saying anything!
Xiao Yu also knew that it would be difficult to stay alive with such an ambiguous piece of information, so he hurriedly added, "Although I don't remember the specific location, I still remember the place that he mentioned … ♂ … ♂ … ♂ … ♂ … ♂ … ♂ … ♂ … ♂ … o. ↑ ▽ ■ point is in Liao's Shangjing!"
In the end, Song Qingshu still spared Xiao Yu's life, but he didn't let him go because he might need him in the future.
"Shang Jing?" Looking at Xiao Yu's departing figure, Song Qingshu fell into deep thought. Logically speaking, Murong Jingyue was a despicable and shameless person. It was hard to imagine that such an evil person would know how to repay a debt of gratitude.
However, according to Xiao Yu's description of that year, that was probably when Murong Jingyue was at his lowest. In his most desperate situation, he received help from others. This kindness was probably something that he would never forget. Although Murong Jingyue was an evil person, he was still human and had all kinds of human emotions.
Moreover, according to his disguise as Ping Yizhi, it was likely that he had other disguises. Shangjing in Liao was far away from the Central Plains, away from the Murong family and the Poison Hand King Of Medicine's sphere of influence. It was simply the perfect hiding place for Murong Jingyue!
Thinking that after such a long time, whether it was Icy Snow, the Murong family, or even the resourceful Ruyang Mansion, Song Qingshu understood that his hiding place was not an ordinary one. As the saying goes, a small hermit hides in the wild, a medium hermit hides in the city, and a great hermit hides in the imperial court. He even suspected that Murong Jingyue was hiding in the imperial court of Liao.
Unfortunately, Song QingShu was currently too busy to personally go to Shangjing to verify the matter. He could only secretly write a letter and attach a unique secret code between the two of them to the Ruyang Mansion. He informed Zhao Min of the matter and asked her to first go to Shangjing to verify the matter.
After all, Song Qingshu wasn't just living for himself anymore. He had to be responsible for the lives and futures of a large group of people.
He had a series of things to deal with in the Jin Kingdom, and he had been in the Jin Kingdom for a long time. He didn't know how the Golden Snake Camp was doing. Also, Li Kexiu, who was in charge of the 100,000 Green Camp, had sent Jiao Wan 'er and Ah Jiu there. He didn't know how things were going, so he had to find time to see for himself.
At this time, he couldn't help but rejoice that he had found several capable and beautiful confidantes. Dongfang Muxue was in charge of the Qing Kingdom, Xia Qingqing and Ah Jiu were in charge of the Golden Snake Camp, and Su Quan and Fang Yi were in charge of the Divine Dragon Cult … If it weren't for their help, he probably wouldn't have been able to accomplish so many things even if he didn't sleep or rest.
Sometimes, Song Qingshu even had some infuriating ideas, such as learning from the lions of Africa, building a large harem, and then letting the harem conquer the grasslands.
Song QingShu laughed awkwardly and collected his thoughts. Instead, he thought about an urgent problem. He could not stay on the Jin Kingdom's side forever. After he left, who should he send to take care of the situation here?
Empress Pei Man was originally an excellent candidate. She was both capable and experienced. If he really left it to her, she would definitely be able to manage the Jin Kingdom well. But unfortunately, Empress Pei Man was also a person with a strong desire for power. Their cooperation was at most taking what they needed, and it was difficult to say that they had any real feelings for each other.
If he dared to entrust the Jin Kingdom to her, the Jin Kingdom would probably be completely out of his control in a few months. Song Qingshu was well aware of all this. Originally, the best way to deal with Empress Pei Man was to kill her with a borrowed knife. He could use Wanyan Xi's knife or kill her on the night of Wanyan Liang's coup d 'état. In history, Empress Pei Man was killed by Wanyan Xi.
However, Song Qingshu was not a cold-blooded and heartless person. He couldn't do such a cruel thing to a woman who was intimate with him, but he also wouldn't ignore the potential threat because of his personal feelings. So, he used Wanyan Liang's hand to wipe out her influence inside and outside the palace. Now, she was only left with the status of Empress, and it was difficult for her to have the opportunity to control the court like before.
Compared to Empress Pei Man, Ge Bi was much more trustworthy. Now that her husband, Tang Kuobian, was dead, and they had been together for a period of time, their feelings and interests were firmly tied together. However, Ge Bi was too gentle and kind, and it would be difficult for her to handle the complicated court affairs.
As for Pucha Alihu, she had endured for so many years and even succeeded in getting rid of Wanyan Zonggan. She was indeed a very capable woman. However, his relationship with her mother and daughter was not close enough for him to entrust them with such a large business.
Oh, there was also Madam Tang. Ah, a vase should have the self-awareness of a vase, not to mention she was someone else's wife. How could he get her to do things for him?
Song Qingshu had a headache thinking about it. He couldn't think of a person who could have the best of both worlds. In the end, he could only give this heavy responsibility to Ge Bi for the time being. With Wanyan Ping's help, and Pucha Alihu and Empress Pei Man's help, she should be able to manage.
… …
A few days later, the Imperial Court approved the request from the Ministry of Justice. Wanyan Liang was publicly executed on the charge of treason. Song QingShu did not go to see the execution. He did not even go to see the mother and daughter of Chong Jie and Ge Bi. In any case, they had already taken their revenge in the Imperial Palace.
Song Qingshu silently watched as Ge Bi and Wanyan Liang paid their respects to Tang Kuobian, and then told them of his plans to leave.
"What, you're leaving?" Ge Bi exclaimed. As soon as the words left her mouth, she realized that her reaction was a little too big. She carefully glanced at her sister and found that she was also a little absent-minded.
Song Qingshu smiled bitterly. "I've already wasted too much time in the Jin Kingdom, and there are still many things waiting for me to deal with in other places, especially Li Kexiu in the Jianghuai region."
"But what about the situation in the court if you leave?" Wanyan Ping suddenly asked. Right now, they were relying on him to pretend to be Wanyan Ruo. Once he left, how could the truth of Wanyan Ruo's death be hidden?
