Although the Jianghuai area in Shandong is more affluent, the Manchu and Qing nobles still cared more about the land of Longxing in the Manchu and Qing Dynasties outside the customs. , the Qing court is beyond its reach, and can only let the admiral Li Kexiu stick to it.
However, the situation is not as bad as imagined for the Qing court. After all, Li Kexiu holds tens of thousands of troops from the Green Battalion. Jianghuai will definitely have no problem protecting itself in a short period of time. Moreover, Li Kexiu’s family members and clansmen are still hostages in Yanjing City. I'm not afraid of Li Kexiu's dissatisfaction.
However, the civil and military forces of the Qing Dynasty did not know that their emperor had become the biggest "insider traitor". With the capabilities of Song Qingshu and Dongfang Muxue in Yanjing City, it would not be difficult to send Li Kexiu's family members away. It was Song Qingshu's greatest confidence in recruiting Li Kexiu to surrender.
"In my opinion, Li Kexiu is not so easy to recruit." Dongfang Muxue frowned slightly, she was not optimistic about Song Qingshu's trip.
"We still have to give it a try. Even if we can't surrender, we must ensure that he will not fall into the arms of other forces. After all, as long as he is loyal to the Qing Dynasty, we still have the upper hand." Song Qingshu replied in a deep voice.
In the next few days, Dongfang Muxue pretended to be Kangxi who categorically rejected all kinds of requests from San Francisco, and the news that "Princess Jingnan was staying in the palace after entering the palace to meet with the ladies and never came out again" spread quickly. the capital.
There was an uproar between the court and the public, and many ministers wrote letters to express their dissatisfaction with the behavior of 'Kangxi'. However, Dongfang Muxue had already privately contacted several important ministers in the court—Prince Kang, Suo'etu, Mingzhu, etc., and explained the serious relationship with them.
At that time, the Kingdom of Jin was too contemptuous of the guards of the land of Longxing, which led to the loss of the land of Longxing under the Mongolian attack. Since then, there was no retreat and strategic depth. As a result, the power of the Kingdom of Jin was gradually eroded and compressed by Mongolia. The Xiaguanzhong, Henan, and Huaibei areas are struggling to support.
Prince Kang and others deeply believed that the place of Longxing in the Qing Dynasty was the top priority. As long as the San Francisco was pacified, it would be in a situation where we could advance, attack, retreat, and defend. It would not be too late to go back and recover Shandong .
With the help of these important ministers, Dongfang Muxue quickly determined the next policy in the court - to negotiate peace with the Golden Snake Camp and try her best to put down the San Francisco rebellion.
However, the DPRK and China quickly disagreed about who should go to the Golden Snake Camp for peace talks. After all, they don't know the attitude of the Golden Snake Camp, and their personal safety may not be guaranteed, not to mention that it is really hard work to ensure a successful peace negotiation with the Golden Snake Camp.
All the ministers in the DPRK and China blamed each other, and no one was willing to go. However, Prince Kang thought that Suo'etu had cheated him on the issue of A Ke's resettlement last time, and he would come back anyway this time, so he made Suo'etu hype up and strongly recommended the other party as a peace negotiator.
Suo'etu was so frightened that the soul of the dead was terrified, and he immediately realized that the other party was retaliating, and quickly hinted that his cronies would come forward to refute. After reconciling with him, he praised Suo'etu for a while and strongly recommended him.
Dongfang Muxue on the dragon chair couldn't help laughing secretly when she saw His Highness's scene, how did these people know that Song Qingshu was eager for a truce now. Since Prince Kang and Mingzhu recommended Suo'etu at the same time, Dongfang Muxue was also happy to push the boat along, and handed over the errand to Suo'etu, and at the same time ordered Suo'etu to go south to Yangzhou after completing the work of the Golden Snake Camp, and appease Jianghuai Admiral Li Kexiu.
The Yue Le case, which had been the source of much controversy before, was never brought up again under Dongfang Muxue's deliberate indifference. After all, all the energies of the imperial court are now allocating resources, how to put down the San Francisco rebellion.
Dongfang Muxue did not kill Yue Le, but imprisoned him in the clan mansion, and no one was allowed to visit. After all, she still wanted to use him to play with Princess Roujia, so naturally she would not kill him easily.
As for Song Qingshu, during his stay in the capital, he was busy with one thing - integrating the sticky poles, because now that Kangxi is dead, he doesn't need to continue the previous arrangement of "four places in the open, four places in the dark", but to change the previous eight places For seven places.
Sang Feihong is in charge of the first intelligence department, which exists in the form of Wuhumen, similar to a propaganda organization and intelligence agency, and the scope of intelligence is mainly the intelligence of the rivers and lakes and the market;
He Qing is in charge of the second intelligence department, planning to establish a chain of brothel brands in various countries and train a large number of concubines to send to the mansions of high-ranking officials and nobles to be responsible for some intelligence on the upper class. Song Qingshu allocated a sum of money from the internal treasury as He Qing's start-up capital, and then secretly used official power to support He Qing to open brothels in Yanjing City first. As for the huge funds needed to open brothels to chains in various countries, Song Qingshu can only wait for Song Qingshu to withdraw them in the future Let's talk about Chuangwang Treasure.
The third place is Tiqi, whose main duty is to arrest and attack, and Song Qingshu handed it over to Di Yun. When Di Yun saw him again, he was shocked at first and then suddenly realized that although he was honest, he was not stupid. He had a vague guess in his heart, but he didn't ask any questions, and solemnly agreed. Some time ago, news came from Sang Feihong that it seemed that Qi Fang had been found in Jingnan. Song Qingshu hesitated for a long time, but he still didn't hide it from Di Yun. Finally having news of his junior sister, Di Yun was extremely excited, and immediately decided to leave for Jingnan, but before leaving, he promised that he would definitely come back.
The fourth branch is responsible for the research and development of poisons, and is responsible for developing poisons for various purposes for several other places. In Song Qingshu's mind, this department is naturally prepared for Cheng Lingsu, it's just that the little girl is willing to come
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) Help yourself, but you can't tell. It seems that little Hu Fei can only use some beauty tricks, and then let Bingxueer trick her over as her future mother-in-law. Song Qingshu thought that the poison on Hu Fei's body should be almost cured now, and it's time to find an opportunity to visit them in Yaowangzhuang.
The Fifth Division was responsible for the assassination. The leader of the Fifth Division, Song Qingshu, originally preferred Li Mochou. With her appearance, martial arts, lightness skills and hidden weapons, she was the perfect candidate for an assassin. It's just that later, when she formed an alliance with the Sun Moon God Sect, Song Qingshu conveniently placed her in the Sun Moon God Sect. As a result, Song Qingshu could only focus on Tian Guinong. Tian Guinong was resourceful and vicious. The only thing he lacked was martial arts. Looking at the whole world, his martial arts are really not on the stage. Now it is just right for him to go to Fujian to find the evil sword manual, but Song Qingshu guesses that with his ability, he may not be able to get it successfully, so he has to find a way to help him.
The Sixth Office is in charge of torture and control. Su Quan was originally the best candidate for the head of the Sixth Office. With her charming skills and leopard fetal Yijin Wan, she can maximize the torture and control. It's a pity that she is nowhere to be seen now. Knowing what to do in Liao Kingdom, Song Qingshu had no choice but to temporarily choose a deputy for her to take charge of the work temporarily.
The seventh department is the strategy department, responsible for strategic layout and the like. Looking at the fourteen golden books, although there are countless beauties, only three are suitable for this position: Zhao Min, Huang Rong, and Huo Qingtong. It's a pity that no matter who these three are, they are not in the same group as Song Qingshu. Song Qingshu had no choice but to temporarily hide this seventh place in his heart.
There were seven sticky poles, some leaders were not in place, so Song Qingshu had to select some assistants to take over their jobs temporarily, and put the various places into operation.
After finishing all this work, when Song Qingshu left the capital, more than half a month had passed,
"Dongfang girl's weird hobby really needs to find a way to help her change. It would be great to be a soft girl with a soft body and a soft waist. I have to be a strong attacker." Thinking of Dongfang Muxue teasing Princess Roujia with all kinds of tricks during this period At the scene, Song Qingshu couldn't help shivering.
"It's better to be a soft girl like Nan Lan." Thinking of the shy and angry look on Nan Lan's brows, Song Qingshu felt his body go limp, and suddenly his brows frowned slightly, "It's just that little girl Ruolan, Why did she suffer from the problem of listening to the corner of the wall, it won't cast any shadow on her growth."
Song Qingshu went south alone this time, and he didn't ride a horse or a cart, but walked all the way with lightness skills. It would be strange if someone else was watching from the side. Song Qingshu was clearly walking in front a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye, his back had disappeared tens of feet away.
Song Qingshu has practiced stepping on the sand without a trace to the extreme, and now he has gradually understood the mystery of shrinking the ground to an inch. He doesn't need to run as fast as he did when he was a beginner, but just walk lightly. It seems slow, but one step at a time It has already crossed a distance of tens of feet, so it gives people a sense of contradiction between speed and speed.
It's just that this kind of kung fu of shrinking the ground into an inch consumes a lot of internal energy. With Song Qingshu's current internal energy, after walking for more than a hundred miles, he has to stop to meditate and rest.
Song Qingshu looked around, tapped his toes lightly, and jumped onto a nearby big tree to rest.
After an unknown amount of time, Song Qingshu suddenly opened his eyes and looked into the distance. After hesitating for a while, he took out a silver mask from his bosom and put it on his face.
Soon a pair of boys and girls came from a distance. The boy had sword eyebrows and star eyes. At such a young age, he could tell that he would be a suave figure in the future. , Let people have a good impression at a glance.
"Why have you been following me?" The two just stopped under the big tree where Song Qingshu was, and the girl couldn't help but look back at the boy.
"Wu Yunzhu, the journey to the south is not peaceful, I can protect you by my side." The boy smiled wryly.
"Wu Yunzhu? This name seems familiar." Song Qingshu on the tree couldn't help frowning secretly. The reason why he put on the mask was because he recognized the young man below. like.
Nalan Rongruo used to be the first-class imperial guard in the palace, and Song Qingshu had a relationship with him a few times. Later, after Song Qingshu assassinated Kangxi, in order not to reveal his flaws, he replaced all the eunuchs and maids who served Kangxi before. They were all changed, and even Duolong, the head of the imperial guards, was transferred to other places, and Nalan Rongruo was also assigned an idle job and sent out of the palace.
Song Qingshu was worried that he would see something wrong, so he put on a mask just in case.
"If it wasn't for your father's misfortune, why should I go south with my father." The girl Qiong wrinkled her nose slightly, obviously a little annoyed in her heart.
"This... It seems that Master Suo didn't agree with you to leave the capital, you sneaked out." Nalan Rongruo gave the girl a cautious look.
Song Qingshu on the tree finally remembered who this Wu Yunzhu was. The princes and nobles in the capital often made fun of Suo Etu, although he was shabby, but gave birth to a beautiful daughter. A well-known talented woman, many people in the younger generation in the capital admire her. It can be said that her reputation is far and wide, even Song Qingshu has heard of her a little bit.
After the lie was exposed, the girl blushed slightly and stomped her feet angrily: "I want you to take care of it."
"This road is too dangerous, you still
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) Come back with me. "Nalan Rongruo hastily persuaded.
The girl snorted, and couldn't help rolling her cute eyes: "I heard that the Golden Snake King exempted the local people from paying taxes for three years after he took over Shandong. Now that he has ruled thousands of miles around, he doesn't pick up lost things, and doesn't close his doors at night. What danger can I have?"
"You really went for the Golden Snake King." Nalan Rongruo sighed quietly.
"So what?" The girl's eyes lit up with a strange look, "I want to see what kind of person can defeat my 100,000 army of the Qing Dynasty by himself, and I want to ask him how to call the wind and rain. "
It turned out that when she heard that her father was going to the Golden Snake Camp this time, she begged him to take her with her. It was a pity that Suo'etu was worried about her own safety, so she couldn't rest assured that she would bring her precious daughter with her. Seeing that her father disagreed, Wu Yunzhu waited for him to leave the capital, and then she left a book and left quietly, chasing after him all the way.
Noticing the look in the girl's eyes, Nalan Rongruo's heart was slightly sour, and he couldn't help but said: "Those are just hearsay, how can you believe it? What's more, the Golden Snake Camp is now hostile to my Qing Dynasty. If your identity is revealed Go out, there is no guarantee that people from the Golden Snake Camp will not be caught and threaten your father."
"The Golden Snake King is not that kind of person. He is a great hero who stands up to heaven and earth. Oh~ I understand. You are jealous. He is not a few years older than you. As a result, he is already the number one expert in the world, and he is still a party The lord of power..." Seeing the disbelief on the other party's face, the girl became anxious.
Song Qingshu on the tree couldn't help touching his nose, he didn't expect his reputation to be so good, it seems that Sang Feihong's salary will be increased in the future, and he will soon promote me as the girl's dream lover.
"You!" Nalan Rongruo was furious and couldn't help but slammed his palm on the nearby tree.
Feeling the trembling of the surrounding leaves, Song Qingshu secretly breathed a sigh of relief: Fortunately, this kid lacks internal strength, otherwise he would break this tree with one palm and force me to reveal my Xingzang, which would be embarrassing.
"Hey, are you angry?" The girl carefully tugged at the hem of his clothes, "I just want to anger you, I didn't really think that way, but you are also very powerful, you are the first-class emperor at a young age. Guard, and he writes poems better than me..."
"Okay, okay, don't hurt me, I know in your heart, writing poetry and composition is not a proper job, and fighting on the battlefield is what a man should do." The anger also dissipated. He and Wu Yunzhu grew up together, they were childhood sweethearts, he didn't know when, he found that he seemed to fall in love with his childhood playmate, but he knew very well in his heart that Wu Yunzhu just regarded him as his elder brother all the time.
A talented girl since she was a child, Wu Yunzhu has a very high spirit. Her standard for choosing a mate is that a man should be able to fight in the battlefield on horseback, and be able to govern the country in peace. Although Nalan Rongruo prides himself on both civil and military skills, he is a bit far from her standard of being a general and a handsome man. Originally, he just regarded this standard of mate selection as a young girl Huai Chun. After all, there is no such perfect man in this world.
As a result, Song Qingshu was born not long ago, defeated all the masters in the world and won the Golden Snake King, and then led thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled to defeat the 100,000 army of the imperial court. With the polish of the script, today's Song Qingshu almost perfectly fits the image of the person Wu Yunzhu has always imagined and expected.
So this time when she heard that her father was going to have peace talks with the Golden Snake King, Wu Yunzhu desperately wanted to follow.
Even though he was extremely depressed, Nalan Rongruo was still worried about any danger on Wu Yunzhu's road, so he followed her all the way to protect her.
"Brother Rong Ruo really loves me the most," Wu Yunzhu giggled, "Well, I can't refuse your kindness, so I'll let you escort me, but after reuniting with my father, you should leave as soon as possible , my father is now in a fit of anger, and when the time comes he will hate Wu Wu, and if he beats you hard, you will be miserable."
Hearing that she cared about him, Nalan Rongruo felt warm in his heart, and then thought: Actually, even without Song Qingshu, there would be no relationship between me and Wu Yunzhu. Firstly, Wu Yunzhu only has brother-sister affection for me, and secondly, my father and his father are rivals, so it is impossible to agree to our marriage...
Nalan Rongruo was originally a gentleman as gentle as jade, and when he thought about it this way, he suddenly became cheerful, and made a decision in his heart: since Wu Yunzhu likes it, why not help her to meet the person she likes once? As long as she can be happy, I will be satisfied.
The expressions of the boy and girl under the tree fell into Song Qingshu's eyes, and he couldn't help laughing bitterly: I didn't expect that I would accidentally become Nalan Rongruo's rival in love, but I remember that his beloved wife in history seemed to be named Lu...
"Hey, there is such a beautiful little lady in the wilderness." A middle-aged man's voice suddenly came from not far away, and his tone was full of obscenities.
"The business is important, don't delay the important affairs of the leader of the left." Another person said in a deep voice, obviously a little displeased.
"Hey, look at the clothes of these two people, they are obviously Manchus, and the materials of the clothes are so expensive, they must be Manchu nobles, they may be the children of Suo'etu, and I have done a great job in catching them." The man said hey before.
Song Qingshu casually glanced down, and his face suddenly turned bright. He happened to know the two people who came, one was Qinghai Yixiao, and the other was Chu Hongliu, the owner of Qianliu Village who had defected from the Golden Snake Camp.

Merry Christmas everyone
