As a modern person, the story of the death of the cunning rabbit and the cooking of the lackeys is familiar. Song Qingshu thought that there were many heroes around Manqing, and he didn't have to think about such things in a short time, but the sharp arrow rain just now made him suspicious. So what if he couldn't escape at that time
So Song Qingshu subconsciously stopped Su Quan, worried that Su Quan would be restrained as soon as he went out, and he could take care of her more or less by his side.
"Song Aiqing, do you believe that Prince Bao died of a sudden illness?" Kangxi looked at the two meaningfully.
Song Qingshu was silent for a while, then shook his head: "I don't believe it."
Kangxi smiled: "If you dare to say that, that boy Duolong will definitely believe it."
"You are not an outsider, so you must know that for a long time, Shandong Golden Snake Camp, Shanhaiguan Wu Sangui, and Prince Shengjing Bao have all been my confidants' serious troubles."
"As soon as Yuan Chengzhi, the Golden Snake King, died, the Golden Snake Camp was immediately torn apart, and existed in name only. Speaking of which, you are also responsible for this."
"I married Princess Jianning to Wu Yingxiong. I originally wanted to win Wu Sangui over, but unfortunately what happened later... But it made Wu Sangui and Hongli turn against each other. Wu Sangui was hated by the Han people, and the battle with Xiao Feng, the king of Khitan South Court, injured him. It’s tragic, and it’s doomed to fail.”
"The most troublesome thing for me is this Prince Bao. He has hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers in the Northeast, and he has a large number of capable ministers and generals. What's more, he was also one of the candidates for the throne back then. If it were me, I would not be willing to serve a young boy Be the emperor, so we all know that there will be a war in the future."
"Prince Bao has made great achievements in battle. His first reaction is naturally to use force. In his heart, I will definitely not be able to stop his elite soldiers. The only concern is Brother Alibu in the north. Some time ago, Brother Alibu sent someone to secretly fight against him. When he negotiated a peace, he was naturally overjoyed, so he thought something he shouldn't have."
"Brother Ali has an abacus, and Prince Bao and I can see it clearly. But the difference between us is that Prince Bao thinks that after he invaded Yanjing, he can calmly turn around and deal with Brother Alibu, but I don't want Qing Dynasty The elite troops were lost in the civil war, and you must know that Brother Alibu's men are only a quarter of the entire Mongolian army. In Prince Bao's eyes, only Brother Alibu is in my eyes, but in my eyes is the entire Mongolian Empire!"
"So from the beginning, I never thought of using force to solve it, but a simpler method."
"Assassination?" Song Qingshu asked subconsciously, wondering if it was Sunflower Patriarch who made the move? But even if he made a move, there were so many masters in Prince Bao's Mansion, how could Hongli be so easy to kill.
"Two thousand years ago, Li Si, the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, perfectly demonstrated all available means to deal with the enemy, bribery, alienation, assassination..." Kangxi was fascinated, "If my subordinates have such great talents, the unification of the world is just around the corner."
"So I learned from Li Si and bought several key officials under Hongli with a lot of money, and alienated him from some of his subordinates who were really loyal to him. Of course, these methods are based on one premise, that is, Hongli die."
"Dare to ask the emperor, who has such martial arts, who can kill him in the heavily guarded Prince Bao's mansion?" Song Qingshu looked at the changing light and shadow on Kangxi's face, and suddenly felt a little chilly.
"You have seen that person before." Kangxi laughed.
Song Qingshu was stunned for a moment, his mind was running rapidly, filtering out all the masters he could think of, except for Dongfang Muxue, the rest did not have this ability. But Dongfang Muxue is now seriously injured, and it is impossible to leave Yunnan.
Seeing Song Qingshu's confused look, Kangxi's face flashed with color: "You can't guess it, let me introduce it for you. Chunhua, come out."
Soon a beautiful young woman came out slowly. For some reason, there was a hint of sadness on her originally bright and charming face.
"Ma Chunhua!" Seeing the young woman's appearance, Song Qingshu immediately understood why Hongli died so easily in his lair. With Hongli's lustful personality, the rest of the matter is not difficult to guess. There is a knife.
"Miss Ma, I didn't expect you to be from the imperial court." Song Qingshu smiled wryly.
Looking at the man in front of her who had saved her life several times, Ma Chunhua showed a bitter smile. During this period of time, she had been applying a special drug there, and every time Hongli slept with her, the toxicity on her body would increase. In order to achieve Kangxi's goal as soon as possible, Ma Chunhua also tried her best to please Hongli, and finally succeeded in getting Hongli's favor.
After experiencing so many things, Ma Chunhua is no longer the indifferent girl of the past. She knows very well in her heart that although she has made great contributions to Kangxi, this contribution cannot be made public, not to mention that she has given blessings successively. Kang An, Xu Zheng, and Hongli must not be able to enter the palace with their broken bodies, so they couldn't hide their miserable expressions.
"Besides Chunhua, there is another person who is the key to success this time." Kangxi patted the back of Ma Chunhua's hand lightly to express his comfort.
"Is there anyone else?" The depth of Kangxi's layout has already made Song Qingshu shudder, and he did not expect that there is another key chess piece.
"If it wasn't for this person's secret help, Hongli wouldn't have sent out all his best troops, leaving the base camp empty, and I could control Shengjing so easily. Miss Wen, come out."
"This is Miss Yang Miaozhen, who is known as the red lady. She pretended to be Yuan Chengzhi's widow, Xia Qingqing, and deceived Hongli's trust. If it hadn't been for the news that the Golden Snake Camp was about to start from Shandong, Hongli would not have sent troops so hastily to attack land and water. Seize Shenlong Island, leaving Shengjing empty."
Looking at the beautiful woman whose face was still bright and charming, Song Qingshu's hands and feet were cold, and the person who came was none other than the Youyou girl whom he loved and hated so much—Xia Qingqing.
Song Qingshu thought for a while, and soon saw what Xia Qingqing was planning. I thought she was really uniting with Hongli before, looking forward to breaking through the capital one day and killing Kangxi to avenge her husband. Unexpectedly, Xia Qingqing knew early in the morning that not only would it take a long time, but the chance of success was only 50-50. It's better to use Hongli as a step to advance, and after gaining the trust of Kangxi, go directly to his side and wait for an opportunity to assassinate.
When she saw Song Qingshu, Xia Qingqing's face suddenly turned a little pale. As long as the other party said a word, her hard-working plan would be in vain. Not only could she not take revenge, but she might die on the spot today.
Kangxi watched the expressions of the two of them from the side, and his expression was quite playful.
"I've heard for a long time that the Red Lady in Shandong is known as 'a pear blossom gun, invincible in the world'. If I have a chance, Song would like to learn it." Song Qingshu gave Xia Qingqing a meaningful look, and did not expose her identity.
Yang Miaozhen is famous, he has heard of it. In recent years, the Golden Snake Battalion has gradually declined due to internal strife. Another Red Coat Army has sprung up in Shandong Province, which seems to be fighting against the court. It is said that the leader Yang Miaozhen is a woman, and her identity has always been mysterious.
Xia Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes were full of gratitude, and followed his words: "Of course my little sister dare not show shame in front of Master Song with such a small skill, and my younger sister also admires Master Song's brilliant achievements in recent years. "
"Song Aiqing, this is your fault. You are the number one expert in my Qing Dynasty, so why make things difficult for a girl." Kangxi hurried out to smooth things over, as if he was worried that the two would fight if they didn't agree with each other.
Suddenly seeing Su Quan standing next to Song Qingshu who was so charming and unreasonable, Xia Qingqing felt a bit of sourness in her heart, subconsciously said: "But what I admire most about Mr. Song is not martial arts, but no matter where you are, there is always a charming girl by your side." Accompanied by a confidante."
The natural sensitivity of a woman made Su Quan aware of Xia Qingqing's inexplicable hostility. She knew that there must be something strange between Song Qingshu and her, but she knew that this was not the time to question her, so she just smiled lightly and kept silent.
As soon as Xia Qingqing opened her mouth, she regretted it. Song Qingshu has always treated him very well. In order to avenge his husband, he had to live up to his affection. The two are destined to have no relationship in this life. A good woman appeared beside him, and he should be happy for him.
Kangxi didn't seem to understand the weirdness, and said with a loud smile: "Miss Yang doesn't know something, Song Aiqing is a handsome man, not only strong in martial arts, but also became an important minister at a young age. The man in the boudoir's dream."
"The emperor has praised you." Song Qingshu said embarrassingly.
"Song Aiqing, I have also heard about your affairs. Since you and that head of the Emei School are only a couple in name, it's okay not to. I intend to find a marriage for you. Which girl do you like? Just open your mouth. Help you to propose a marriage, and see who has the guts to dare not agree." Kangxi was extremely happy after getting rid of his confidant's serious troubles.
"A man's ambitions are all over the world, but it will be a drag when he gets married and starts a career. Thank you for your kindness." Song Qingshu himself didn't know who he liked more in his heart, so he quickly declined.
"Who said that? If you have a good helper, it will often be of great help to your career. For example, the Master Su beside you is not only beautiful, but also the leader of the sect. If he marries you, He must be a competent and virtuous helper." Kangxi had long seen that the relationship between the two was extraordinary, and that the Dragon Sect was an important force, so he happened to use Song Qingshu to completely control this power in his hands.
Xia Qingqing's face changed slightly, but she quickly lowered her head, but she couldn't see the expression clearly. Su Quan was overjoyed, and when she looked up and saw Song Qingshu's face full of hesitation, she sighed in her heart, and quickly said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness, but my concubine's husband just passed away recently, so it's really inconvenient to talk about marriage."
Kangxi's face was stunned, and then he remembered that she was Hong Antong's wife, and he couldn't help laughing: "It's true that I was abrupt, madam, don't blame me."
"I don't dare." Su Quan bowed slightly.
Kangxi nodded, and suddenly changed the topic: "Song Aiqing, Miss Ma and Miss Yang have made such great achievements, and it is not convenient for me to publicize their contributions publicly. How do you think I should reward these two?"
Song Qingshu was taken aback for a moment, thinking that this is really difficult. If it's two men, it's enough to add an official to the rank secretly, but for two women... Suddenly thinking of something, Song Qingshu's face turned ugly.
