Fragrance Stealer

"Abiding by the order, I intend to leave immediately." Song Qingshu was worried about Xia Qingqing, and he didn't want to delay for a day.

"So soon?" Kangxi was taken aback, "Alright, I originally planned to ask you to visit Xiaobao's widow to see if she has anything missing recently."

"Shuang'er?" The immaculate girl in filial piety appeared in his mind, Song Qingshu hesitated for a moment, "I will visit you when I come back from Shengjing."

Kangxi nodded: "Okay, I sent Zhang Kangnian, Zhao Qixian, and the others to lead a team of imperial guards to follow you. If there is anything, there is someone to order."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Song Qingshu exited the imperial study step by step. When he was parting, he turned his head and looked deeply at the plaque on the door, with complicated thoughts.

"I can see desire and hesitation in your eyes, I don't know what made you struggle so much." From the shadow behind the rockery, the voice of Sunflower Patriarch came again.

Song Qingshu glared at the old eunuch, and said angrily, "I also saw something in your eyes."

"What?" Patriarch Sunflower was taken aback and asked involuntarily.

"Eye shit." Song Qingshu laughed, and walked away. When he turned around, his expression changed: This old magic stick is a bit troublesome.

Seeing Song Qingshu's disappearing back, Patriarch Sunflower burst out laughing, and returned to the darkness.

"Lord Song, you are really lucky, and you were designated as an imperial envoy by the emperor as soon as you came back." On the way to the north of Shengjing, Zhang Kangnian and Zhao Qixian took a look at the envoys and came to Song Qingshu with a flattering smile.

"It's also thanks to the two people who pointed out last time, this kindness Song has always remembered." Although Song Qingshu was anxious in his heart, he still looked amicable when the two came.

Zhang Kangnian and Zhao Qixian waved his hands again and again: "Master Song is serious. Our brothers have been on duty for so long, and the boss treats him as his own. Except for Lord Wei before, only Mr. Song is the only one. We treat Mr. Song as our own, so we naturally tell Mr. Song what's on our minds." Words. Mr. Song will be in charge of the sticky pole in the future. In the palace, he will be under one person and above ten thousand people. You just need to remember to take good care of our brothers on weekdays."

Song Qingshu laughed dryly: "Hey,? Hey, the two of you are quite well-informed. Now that the sticky pole has not been written, you are so clear. Well, my sticky pole is currently short of people. Are you interested in joining?"

The two looked at each other, and said happily, "Can we really do it?"

"Although your martial arts, uh... are a bit sloppy, you are a good person, and you can do some administrative work in the future, and the sticky stick is closer to the intelligence department. As long as you use it properly, you will even be more useful than any martial arts master. "Song Qingshu nodded with a smile.

Zhang Kangnian and Zhao Qixian were euphemistically pointed out that his martial arts were not very good, so he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, but listening to the meaning of his words, although some words were not clear, but the general meaning was understood, and he couldn't help but excitedly said: "Thank you, Mr. Song, for your promotion! Our brothers I also know that my martial arts are not very good, but because of Zu Yin, I became a royal bodyguard, and the chief executive didn't choose us to be blood drops, although he didn't say it clearly, but we know that he dislikes our low martial arts..." Said As he spoke, his tone became darker.

Zhao Qixian also felt the same way: "We are ordinary Eight Banners children. If we can't be civilized, we can't be successful. We will be a second-class guard for the rest of our lives. But which man doesn't want to make a career and honor his ancestors? He even goes home to his parents during the New Year. It also saves face, thank you Mr. Song for giving us this opportunity."

"As long as you follow me wholeheartedly, you will get more than you imagined. It's just that at some point you won't be able to persist." Song Qingshu said with a half-smile.

The two looked at each other, and said seriously: "People like us don't have much ability. If we can't even do this, we deserve to be looked down upon as dog slaves for the rest of our lives."

"It's too early to say these things now, let's wait until that day," Song Qingshu stopped the two of them from continuing to show their loyalty, and said, "You two also know that I have something important to rush to Shengjing as soon as possible, but Now the team of envoys is moving too slowly, what good ideas do you have?"

Zhang Kangnian was stunned, and said with confidence: "This is easy to handle. Your Excellency can choose a dozen or so skilled guards to travel lightly and easily, so that the large army can continue to move forward at the original speed. On the one hand, it can solve your worries. Secondly, when the emperor asks in the future, it can be said that your lord used a large army to paralyze Shengjing, and then went to Shengjing in disguise to inquire about news, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

Song Qingshu glanced at him unexpectedly: "I didn't see it, you are really talented." Although Zhang Kangnian and Zhao Qixian were not very good at their hands, they grew up in the imperial city and were born in noble families. It can be said that they are well-versed in this area, and they will give more play to their talents in this area in the future.

"Sir Song, I'm overwhelmed, I'm overwhelmed." Zhang Kangnian rubbed his hands together as he spoke, his eyes narrowed into slits with a smile, obviously very beneficial.

"Okay, okay, let's stop flattering each other. You are familiar with these guards, go and pick ten strong guards, and then we will go on the road immediately." Song Qingshu scolded with a smile.

"Cha!" The two happily ran to pick out the guards.

……

A group of people set off on the road with light clothes, one riding in two, getting closer and closer to Shengjing.One day, when it rained suddenly, the group hurried to a nearby ruined temple to hide.

Not long after settling down, there were suddenly noisy footsteps outside, as if the two had arrived at the gate of the temple, but for some reason, they didn't come in for a long time.Song Qingshu's skills were profound, and the whispers outside quickly reached his ears.

"The horses that help outside the temple are obviously not owned by ordinary martial arts people. This ruined temple is likely to hide dragons and crouching tigers. We should be more cautious when we walk with darts, or stop hurrying and go to the small town ahead to rest?" A rough voice sounded.

"Brother, the darts we made this trip are not enough for the price of a few horses. Do you think they will attack our darts? It's raining so hard, don't let the big treasure and the second treasure get wet. If you want to go, go by yourself. Anyway, I’m not leaving.” The woman’s delicate voice was full of exhaustion, and she was short of breath, probably recovering from a serious injury.

"What big treasure and second treasure, it's not that man's fault..." The man's voice suddenly choked up, and the rest of his words were obviously stared back by the woman.

"You clearly said that you would not bring up the past, why do you still..." The woman's voice was full of tears, and the man hurriedly comforted her.

Song Qingshu laughed when he heard it, he probably wanted to be a father again, not long after, a man and a woman walked in.

The man looks ordinary, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, obviously a savage in the world, but that woman is different, with a round oval face, dark eyeballs, flushed cheeks, but from time to time there is a faint paleness, Although she was dressed as a peasant woman, she couldn't hide her beauty.

She was holding two babies in her arms, one on the left and the other on the right. The clothes on her body were mostly wet, but there was no water stain on the two babies. Song Qingshu was very impressed.

A whistling whistle soon sounded in the ears. It turned out that the woman's figure was plump and round, and her clothes were soaked by the rain. The clothes stuck to her flesh, as if they were translucent. The guards under Song Qingshu were not good people. Seeing such a beautiful scenery, he naturally screamed with excitement. If he hadn't been worried about Song Qingshu's presence, he might have walked over to tease that little lady directly.

Hearing the whistling, the woman's senior brother or her husband couldn't help being furious, but seeing Song Qingshu and his group all looked tough, with Jiedao in their waists, he hesitated for a moment, and had to stare at everyone, blocking his wife intentionally or unintentionally. in front of you.

"Little lady, why don't you come here to enjoy the fire."

"That's right, my brother's side is full of men, and they are very angry, and they will dry the wet clothes in a while."

"That's right, depending on the size of your child, I'm afraid your bones are weak now. If the wind and cold invade, you may suffer from a lifetime of illness. You take off your clothes, and we promise not to look at them."

As soon as this remark came out, all the guards roared with laughter.

"You!" The woman was ashamed and angry, and the man beside her stood up with a knife, glaring at everyone.

"Hehe, what, want to fight?" The Ouchi guards also stood up one after another when they saw it, and pulled out the knife from their waist, and the temple was suddenly shimmering with coldness.

Song Qingshu frowned, this group of old men and soldiers were used to being in the capital, and they naturally restrained themselves under the emperor's feet, and they naturally had a natural sense of superiority when they left the capital, and they were a little bit more courageous than usual.

"Don't worry, you two. My subordinates are rough people. I'm used to making jokes. Although the words are not nice, they won't really have any malicious intentions. You two can rest assured." Song Qingshu said lightly.

As soon as the guards heard Mr. Song's words, they naturally didn't dare to be too pretentious, and quickly put away their knives and sat down with embarrassing expressions.

Only then did the two see Song Qingshu in the corner. The woman saw him with sword eyebrows and starry eyes.

"Thank you, Your Excellency." After a salute, the man carefully helped his wife to the side and sat down. Before she could sit still, the two babies were crying. The woman coaxed her for a long time, but it didn't work. She pulled her husband and whispered: "They are hungry." , I am afraid I will have to breastfeed.

Chapter 2 A woman's trust in a strange man

The man frowned, and when he turned his head to see the guards staring at him full of desire, he felt agitated: "Be patient for now, and you can feed after the rain stops."

"But they were crying so hard." The woman's voice was full of pity, and she bit her lips, "If they see it, they will see it. Which mother's nurse will not be looked at more often."

"No!" The man's face was ashen. These two children are the evil sons of that man. He didn't fall to his death. , suddenly burst into anger.

"Why?" The woman was also very annoyed. The son cried so much that she panicked, and quickly realized, "Is it your son? You don't feel sorry for him? You clearly said that you treat them as your own flesh and blood."

"No...I'm not." The man's eyes were evasive, obviously being poked in the center of his thoughts.

Seeing his expression, the woman immediately understood everything, but she also knew that he was to blame. Thinking of what happened to her, she couldn't help feeling sad and choked up in a low voice.

"Little lady, why are you crying?"

"Is it because your man treats you badly? I'll beat him up for you."

……

The two of them could lower their voices. The guards didn't hear their conversation clearly. Instead, they heard the woman sobbing over there, and immediately exploded.
