"Cha!" The group of soldiers from the Qing Dynasty were assigned to him, and all of them rushed to show their faces, and when they heard his order, they rushed over.

ding~

A sound of dragon chant sounded, and the group of soldiers saw a flash of cold light in front of their eyes, and then a sharp pain in their wrists, and the weapons in their hands could no longer be held, and they all scattered all over the ground.

The big bearded man put the sword back into the sheath calmly.

Song Qingshu's eyes lit up. With his current cultivation, he couldn't see that the opponent had shown mercy when he drew his sword. Although he stabbed the soldiers' wrists, they didn't hurt their tendons, so he didn't stop them either.

&△△△Let's go,≮.▼→.⌒p; "Dugu Nine Swords!" Such a miraculous swordsmanship will never be forgotten once people have seen it once, how could he admit his mistake? It turned out that this person was pretended by Linghu Chong, no wonder he looked so familiar.

Song Qingshu looked at the bearded man's attire up and down, and his heart became more and more strange: This guy will not dress up as Wu Tiande, the general of Quanzhou like in the original book, will he

Seeing the other party's high martial arts skills, Song Qingshu's personal guards immediately surrounded him, guarding him firmly in the middle, and confronted the Southern Song Dynasty mission group. Seeing that the situation was tense and about to explode, a high-pitched voice suddenly came from afar. Drink: "Stop!"

Looking back, I saw a group of green battalion soldiers running over neatly, scattered and stood up, and then one of them came galloping on a tall horse.

Song Qingshu's eyes narrowed. When Li Kexiu's father and daughter went south to take office, he even rescued him. How could he not recognize who this person is? Thinking that he came to Yangzhou as an envoy as the number one member of the Jin Dynasty, Li Kexiu didn't even see him for an excuse. As a result, just as something happened to the Southern Song Dynasty envoy, he arrived on the back foot. Song Qingshu couldn't help but feel a little heavy. It seems that Li Kexiu's heart The balance has tilted significantly.

After dismounting from his horse, Li Kexiu gave a reassuring look to the goatee, then walked up to Song Qingshu and cupped his hands and said, "Jiangsu-Zhejiang Waterway Admiral Li Kexiu, I have seen the Marshal."

"So it's Mr. Li," Song Qingshu snorted noncommittally, "Mr. Li's arrogance is big enough. I've been in Yangzhou for so long and I haven't had the chance to meet him. Why, Mr. Li is free today?"

Song Qingshu is currently playing the role of the number one person in the Kingdom of Jin, so he is naturally qualified to play with his authority, and judging from what happened during this period of time, it would be abnormal for him not to take the opportunity to get emotional.

Li Kexiu has been in the officialdom for many years, and has already cultivated a thick-skinned face comparable to a city wall. The answer was smooth: "A few days ago, there were some water bandits near Yangzhou, and it was rumored that they were in collusion with Japanese pirates. I dare not take it lightly, so I hurried to investigate. For the details, to the point of neglecting the Marshal, I hope to forgive my sins, forgive my sins."

Song Qingshu snorted: "Since Mr. Li has returned to Yangzhou City now, it seems that the water bandits have been wiped out?"

Li Kexiu replied with a normal face: "The water bandits are extremely cunning, it's hard to catch them. I'm just coming back this time to take a rest, and I'm going back to the Green Camp to take charge of the overall situation soon."

Song Qingshu scolded the old fox secretly, it seemed that he planned to hide in the dark to avoid the limelight.

Li Kexiu took the opportunity to laugh and said: "Master Marshal, it was all a misunderstanding. The master of the Yuqing Temple, Daoist Ma, is my teacher's brother. We have been dating for many years, and we admire Daoist Ma's character and martial arts. He is the host of the Yuqing Temple. , there will never be any thieves mixed in, the marshal can rest assured."

Song Qingshu was stunned, no wonder he thought Ma Zhen's name sounded familiar, it turned out to be him!

Because of the good relationship with Li Yuanzhi, Song Qingshu is also very aware of the situation in Li Kexiu's family. The teacher he mentioned should be Li Yuanzhi's master, Lu Feiqing, nicknamed Mianlizhen, and Lu Feiqing is still a member of the Wudang School. It is his senior brother, so naturally he is also from the Wudang sect.

Although the Wudang sect has its headquarters in Wudang Mountain, there are also several temples in the world, which are collectively called Wudang Five Temples, which are Zixiao Palace, Zhenwu Temple, Baiyun Temple, Shangqing Temple, and Yuqing Temple.

Among them, Zixiao Palace is naturally the headquarters of Wudang. Zhang Sanfeng left it to Song Yuanqiao to take care of it because he didn't care about world affairs. Later, because of Song Qingshu's accidental killing of Mo Shenggu, Song Yuanqiao took the blame and resigned, and Yu Lianzhou took over;

The master of Zhenwu Temple is Daoist Chongxu, a good friend who is inseparable from Master Fangzheng in "Swordsman";

The owner of the Baiyun Temple is a tea Taoist, and it is said that he was invited by the people of the Knight Island, so that the Baiyun Temple has declined in recent years;

The master of the Shangqing Temple is Daoist Tianxu, and the black and white swords Shi Qing and Min Rou also learned their skills here;

The master of Yuqing Temple is Ma Zhen, the fat Taoist in front of him. He also has two younger brothers, one is Li Yuanzhi's master Lu Feiqing, and the other is Fire Hand Judge Zhang Zhaozhong.

Since they are all from the Wudang lineage, Song Qingshu didn't feel embarrassed, he hesitated and said: "Since Master Li is the guarantor, I don't want to hold this Yuqing Temple accountable, but these people act suspiciously, and I suspect that they are Spy, ready to take him back for strict interrogation."

At this time, Ma Zhen hurriedly stepped forward and said: "My lord misunderstood, they are real businessmen, and every time they come to Yangzhou to do business these years, they are just looking at them and resting their feet. Pindao knows him very well, and he is definitely not a spy."

Li Kexiu also took the opportunity to say: "Yes, I also have an impression of them. I have met them a few times when I came to Yuqing Temple before, and I also specially checked their approval documents. There is no problem. They will definitely not be spies."

Song Qingshu sneered in his heart, an ordinary caravan was actually guaranteed by you, an admiral, and it would be hell if he said there was no problem.

But the current situation has become that identifying these people as spies means that Yuqingguan and Li Kexiu are in the same party. Song Qingshu doesn't want to affect the Wudang faction, and he doesn't want to openly quarrel with Li Kexiu.

Fortunately, the purpose of this trip has basically been achieved, the real envoy of the Southern Song Dynasty has been found, and at the same time, it has been confirmed which side Li Kexiu prefers.

Song Qingshu was silent for a while, and finally said: "Since Master Li is the guarantor, let's forget about this matter, let's go!" After speaking, he called his soldiers and left.

"I'm sending you off to the Marshal." Li Kexiu followed with a smile.

Seeing the two teams leaving, Lu You hurriedly said to the middle-aged man with the goatee: "Master Han, this place has been exposed, we need to change to another place as soon as possible."

"No!" Master Han shook his head and said, "We will stay here and not go anywhere."

"But… "

Lu You wanted to say something else, but Master Han raised his hand to stop him: "Marshal Jin led his troops here today but returned without success. There is no safer place in Yangzhou than here. If we change places, it won't be just right. Prove that you have a guilty conscience, and give the Marshal of the Kingdom of Jin an excuse to find fault? And we have been here, Li Kexiu has to protect us all the time, so that in the eyes of everyone, he is with us. It's not that easy anymore."

Lu You's eyes lit up, and he admired sincerely: "Master Han really thinks loftily, admire, admire!"

Li Kexiu escorted Song Qingshu all the way back to the office of the imperial envoy of the Daotai Yamen, and then said goodbye: "Master Marshal, please rest well. The case of the magistrate of Yangzhou being robbed will be handed over to the lower officials to investigate."

Song Qingshu talked to him along the way, obviously chatting a lot, but there was no useful information from the beginning to the end, so he had to secretly scold the old fox for his watertightness.

Seeing him leave, Song Qingshu didn't try to keep him, and let him leave with a few words of casual entertainment.

After Li Kexiu left, Song Qingshu changed into casual clothes and quietly followed. As expected, after Li Kexiu left the Daotai yamen, she detoured seven times and eight times, and finally entered Yuqing Temple.

Although Li Kexiu had already paid enough attention to whether he was being followed, how could he find Song Qingshu

"It's just in time, I just wanted to hear how far you guys are talking." Song Qingshu found a remote corner and quietly turned into Yuqing Temple.

After the turmoil just now, it is obvious that Yuqing Temple is guarded much more tightly. With Song Qingshu's martial arts, he has to be careful not to be discovered.

Following the direction in his memory, Song Qingshu found the courtyard just now, and flew to the roof of the room in the middle as light as a swallow. He lifted the tiles and saw that the two parties really met here.

Behind Li Kexiu stood Lu Feiqing and Ma Zhen, and behind the one who called himself Han Jiefu stood Linghu Chong and Lu You.

Lu Feiqing, Lu You...

An idea flashed in Song Qingshu's mind, presumably this Lu Feiqing is also a member of the Shanyin Lu clan, it seems that the Southern Song Dynasty successfully hooked up with Li Kexiu only through Lu Feiqing's matchmaking.

But who is this Han Jiefu? Judging by his appearance, it is obvious that he is in a high position, but which high-ranking official in the Southern Song Dynasty was surnamed Han

Song Qingshu was puzzled, and suddenly thought of Dai Qisi's mention of her husband Han Qianye being sent by the family to be an undercover agent in the Kingdom of Jin, and suddenly realized: So it was him!

Throughout the Song Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty combined, there were countless prominent families, but there was no difference in the family that was publicly recognized as the most prominent family in later generations, and that was the Zhending Han family! The representative figures are Han Qi in the Northern Song Dynasty and Han Tuozhou in the Southern Song Dynasty. Without exception, they have become powerful officials under one person and above ten thousand.

Calculating the time, this person can't be Han Qi, it can only be Han Tuozhou, who is currently a member of political affairs in the Southern Song Dynasty. Song Qingshu now lives in a temple, and has deliberately understood the power structure of various countries, so he was able to guess his true identity so quickly.

"Thank you, Mr. Li, for your help just now." Only Han Tuozhou said.

"Han Xiang is being polite. In fact, even if I don't come, Tang Kuobian may not be able to hurt you. But I heard that the guard next to Han Xiang stabbed more than a dozen Qing soldiers with his sword." Li Kexiu exclaimed. Looking at Linghu Chong standing aside, even Ma Zhen and Lu Feiqing behind him also looked sideways at him. Although they claimed to be masters in swordsmanship, they thought they couldn't do it if they wanted to stab more than a dozen brave soldiers with one sword.

Han Yuzhou was also very pleased: "I also met this general Wu Tiande and Wu by chance on the way. At that time, I was assassinated by a group of mysterious people. If General Wu hadn't rescued me, I'm afraid I would not have escaped the fate of the corpse wilderness."

Li Kexiu was taken aback: "Who has the guts to assassinate Prime Minister Han?"

Han Yuzhou snorted coldly: "It's not the remnants of those Bailians!"
