Flower Stealing Master

Chapter 207 Late Night Visitors

Hongli hosted a banquet to entertain the imperial ministers. The guarding force of the entire palace can be said to guard the outside and the inside. After Song Qingshu left the table, although he encountered several pairs of patrols, he nodded and let him walk when he saw the official uniforms on his body. .

However, Song Qingshu is not a fool. He would not think that the guards in the inner courtyard of the palace would still ignore him and hide their tracks along the way, and finally found Xia Qingqing by the lake.

A woman stood there alone, staring at the water in a daze.

"You came very quickly." Hearing the voice behind him, Xia Qingqing seemed to have expected it early, without any surprises.

"Why are you waiting here alone?" Song Qingshu looked around. With her current status, she shouldn't be alone.

"To wait for you." Xia Qingqing turned around, with a faint smile on her face.

Jiaren Yanran is still the same, but her identity has long been vicissitudes of life. A trace of sadness flashed across Song Qingshu's face: "Why didn't you ask me before you made this decision? I will tell you the plan in your heart completely. After you listen to it, you will definitely not Will choose to leave me."

"I have asked you many times," Qingfeng disturbed her hair, and Xia Qingqing stretched out her fingers to smooth the scattered hair behind her ears and smiled, "but you only say'trust me, believe me' every time. "

Song Qingshu was taken aback when he heard the words, and it seemed to be true at the time.

Seeing his reaction, Xia Qingqing looked complicated: "Well, give you another chance, you can tell me your plan now."

Song Qingshu suddenly hesitated. That matter was too relevant to allow the slightest leak. Now she is the Princess Bao...

"Forget it, I already know the answer." Xia Qingqing sighed quietly and stopped talking.

"Now that the time has changed, your identity is different, I naturally can't tell you again." Although Song Qingshu had a desperate impulse, in the end reason still overwhelmed everything.

"I understand, but this is probably the last time we have met. You have your plan, and I also have my plan. I don't want to make waves." Looking at the lake in the distance, Xia Qingqing said calmly.

"Your plan is not to seduce Hongli and provoke his relationship with Kangxi, but do you really think Hongli can defeat Kangxi?" Song Qingshu sneered.

Xia Qingqing was obviously taken aback, and her face looked like ice: "You can understand this, but this is my own business, and I don't need other people to worry about it." In my heart, I silently added: Of course I know that Hongli is not an opponent of Kangxi...

"Well then, there will be no time limit." Song Qingshu resolutely turned and left.

"It will be indefinite..." Xia Qingqing had a brief absence, muttering to herself, a hint of bitterness flashed across her face.

Back at the dinner, Song Qingshu laughed as it did before. He frequently got up and intertwined with Shengjing's hundred officials. He stayed with Wei Xiaobao and Duolong for so long. He was called brother and brother. He had already practiced the ability to make friends with wine and meat.

The fire is perfect. When he noticed that Hongli got up and left the banquet, he drank more happily, and when he came out of the palace, he was already drunk and turned into a muddy mud.

"Old Zhao, what's wrong with Master Song, suddenly become like this..." Zhang Kangnian supported the drunk Song Qingshu and looked at Zhao Qixian in amazement.

"How do I know, I was fine before." Zhao Qixian was thrown up, his expression even more depressed.

"Haha, I'm sorry, I can't help you today, I will be promoted to your official after returning to Beijing." Hearing their discussion, Song Qingshu reluctantly opened his eyes and said with a smirk.

"In this case, I think you vomit me too." Zhang Kangnian smiled bitterly on the side.

"vomit……"

"Uh, I'm kidding, don't take it seriously, Master Song." Zhang Kangnian's wailing came from the night sky.

In the palace, in the Yilan Pavilion where Fu Jin lived.

"Master, it's getting late, please go back." Xia Qingqing said coldly.

"Qingqing, you are my Fujin." Hongli smiled and wanted to get closer.

The cold light flashed, and Xia Qingqing’s golden snake sword was already on his chest, and said in a cold voice: “Master, if you forget me, I will remind you again. This Fujin’s name is just a cover for your identity, don’t take it seriously. Also, don’t allow it. Call me like that."

"Yes, yes, this king is just joking with Madam Yuan," Hongli took a few steps back in a whisper. "The dancing posture of the lady at the table today surprised the civil and military officials, and this king is also affected by their light. , I was fortunate enough to feast my eyes. When I asked my wife that day, she never expected her to agree."

"The alliance between us does not include dancing for you, not as an example." Xia Qingqing added in her heart: This dance is not for you...

"Only this time, this king is already very contented." Hongli said with a smile, "By the way, I heard that Mrs. Jinsheying has a little trouble recently. Would you like this king to send someone to help his wife?"

"No, it's just my means to deliberately paralyze Kangxi, otherwise Kangxi won't be able to tolerate a united golden snake camp." Xia Qingqing shook her head and flatly refused.

It turned out that Xia Qingqing was moved by Luo Bing’s rhetoric, and she felt that Song Qingshu didn’t really help her revenge. In addition, the longer she stayed with Song Qingshu, the more blurred Yuan Chengzhi’s shadow in her mind became. She was afraid that one day, she might even Even the grudge forgot to report it, so he chose to leave. But she has been with Yuan Chengzhi in command of the Golden Snake Camp for so long, and she is no longer the stubborn little girl who didn't understand anything but just lost her temper. It was because of the murder of her husband that hatred blinded her eyes, and she has calmed down during this period of time. In her opinion, Luo Bing's vision was limited, and the tactics he had developed were full of loopholes. Xia Qingqing was not as stupid as a member of the Red Flower Society. For the sake of a vain and ethereal possibility, he easily gave up his innocence.

Xia Qingqing went south to Shandong first. Seeing that the Jinsheying hills were playing happily, she was angry and brought a group of cronies to the north of Chapter 207 late-night visitors.

Shengjing.

Hongli is having a headache. Because of the Jianning Princess, Wu Sangui, the king of the West, fell out and lost his ally. He had hundreds of thousands of troops. The road to the south was blocked by Wu Sangui. The north was the fierce Mongolian country. There is no way forward, and there is a desperate situation of chasing soldiers behind. Of course, if he is willing to be a prince with a separatist side, he can naturally guard his one-acre three-centre and live happily for decades, but it is a pity that he has been coveting the dragon chair in the capital. How can he be a guardian prince?

Xia Qingqing’s arrival made him overjoyed, because she brought another way out: to join with the Golden Snake Camp. The Golden Snake Camp helped him transport the army from Lushunkou to Tianjin Wei by sea. The Golden Snake Camp started from Shandong and fought to the capital together. In this way, Wu Sangui's Shanhaiguan was completely bypassed, and Wu Sangui and Xiao Feng of the Liao Kingdom were fighting hard. When he pulled out, Daqing Jiangshan had already been included in his bag.

The reason why Hongli had not thought of sending troops from the sea before was because his soldiers were not good at water warfare. The Bohai Sea was even under the control of Shenlong Island, and Shenlong Island had already taken refuge in Mongolia. If he set off from the sea, hundreds of thousands of elite troops would be there. It will only be buried in the belly of the fish, but an alliance with the Golden Snake Camp can solve all this perfectly.

The Golden Snake Camp was well-known overseas in the early years, and is still the overlord of the Yellow Sea. He is good at water warfare and can deal with the Dragon Sect.

Therefore, Hongli and Xia Qingqing hit it off quickly and quickly formed an alliance. During this time, Xia Qingqing had to meet with him frequently in order to discuss ways to deal with the Dragon Sect and the specific details of future cooperation. Hongli was worried that a strange woman would frequently enter and leave the palace, which would arouse suspicion from the interested people, and revealed her plans, so he placed Xia Qingqing in the palace as a side of Fujin to hide his eyes and ears.

"That's good." Although Hongli still had doubts in his heart, he knew that the other party's husband was killed by Kangxi. Whether it was for the benefit of the Golden Snake Camp or her private vengeance, there is no need to lie to himself. Yes, Madam Yuan, can you see the imperial minister sent by the court today?"

"The imperial minister?" Xia Qingqing's heart jumped, and said lightly, "I have seen it, looks like a white face, it looks nothing remarkable, I must have no real ability."

"Ms. Yuan is very wrong to think so," Hongli said in a deep voice, "After Wei Xiaobao's death, Song Qingshu has become Kangxi's number one confidant, vaguely aspiring to the throne of the top master of the Qing Dynasty."

"Martial arts is no more than a knife, and can afford to turn over any big waves." Xia Qingqing deliberately put on an expression of disdain.

"Martial arts is so high that it is no longer a knife. Mrs. Yuan can still remember how the husband died? The golden snake king martial arts is powerful, with more than 100,000 troops under his command, and the overlord of one party, he will not still die in the East. Under the blow of the wave, Huangtu Baye became empty in a blink of an eye." Hongli deliberately looked at Xia Qingqing's face.

As expected, Xia Qingqing's face changed drastically: "One day I will definitely kill Dongfang Undefeated and avenge Big Brother Yuan... But how many Oriental Invincibles are there in the world? Song Qingshu's Chapter 207 Late Night Visitors

Although martial arts is good, I am afraid that he is still unable to assassinate the prince. "

"There are many masters in this palace, so naturally you don't need to be afraid of him." Hongli patted his chest proudly. "It's just that he is so old that he is already a master, and it is impossible to guarantee that he will not grow into the kind of ten steps to kill one person for thousands of miles in the future. I have to guard against the existence of horror."

"The prince's meaning is to act first before he is fully grown?" Xia Qingqing asked blankly, "It's just that this will make Kangxi vigilant and make Kangxi vigilant, and the gain is not worth the loss."

"I think it's the opposite," Hongli sneered. "According to the spy's report, Kangxi has asked him to establish a secret intelligence agency-Sticky Rod. If it is really established, we may be restricted in future actions, and marching and fighting are always passive. Hey, as the saying goes, there is a way to heaven, you don’t go, and there is no way to hell, but you are here, he has thrown himself into the trap this time, how could this king let go of such a great opportunity?"

"But he is a minister of imperial commission after all. If the prince does something, I am afraid that the situation cannot be cleared up." Xia Qingqing frowned, anxious in his heart.

"It's okay, this king has a clever plan." Hongli smiled inexplicably.

Song Qingshu was escorted back to the Sifang Pavilion by his subordinates. As soon as he got off the carriage, an imperial guard greeted him and whispered, "Master Song, a beautiful woman came to see you just now."

"Beautiful woman?" Song Qingshu opened his eyes slightly and said in a daze, "Can she give her name?"

The guard replied respectfully: "No, but when the other party came, she was dressed up and seemed to be deliberately concealing her deeds. Our brother thought she must have something important to find an adult, so he took her to the museum on his own initiative and is now waiting inside. ."

"Could it be Xia Qingqing?" Song Qingshu was overjoyed, pushing away the guards, staggering and walking inside.
