Fragrance Stealer

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

"Well, there will be no date later." Song Qingshu turned and left resolutely.

"The future will be indefinite..." Xia Qingqing lost her mind for a moment, muttering to herself, with a trace of bitterness flashing across her face.

Back at the banquet, Song Qingshu laughed like before, got up frequently to drink wine with all the officials in Shengjing, stayed with Wei Xiaobao Duolong for so long, called him brothers, and had already perfected his ability to make friends with wine and meat.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 to the mud.

"Old Zhao, what do you think Mr. Song is doing? He suddenly became so...?" Zhang Kangnian supported the drunk Song Qingshu, and looked at Zhao Qixian in astonishment.

"How do I know, it was fine before." Zhao Qixian was spat all over, and his expression was even more depressed.

"Hehe, I'm sorry, I'm sorry today, and you will be promoted after you return to Beijing." Hearing their discussion, Song Qingshu reluctantly opened his eyes and said with a smirk.

"In this case, I think you should spit on me too." Zhang Kangnian on the side smiled wryly.

"vomit……"

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

In the palace, in the Yilan Pavilion where Fujin lives.

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

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

With a flash of cold light, Xia Qingqing's Golden Snake Sword had already touched his chest, and said in a cold voice: "My lord, if you forget, I will remind you again, this Fujin's name is just a cover, don't take it seriously. Also, no Call me that."

"Yes, yes, this king is just joking with Mrs. Yuan." Hongli took a few steps back embarrassingly, "Madam's dancing posture during the banquet today amazed all civil and military officials, and this king is also honored by them. , I was lucky enough to feast my eyes on it. When I proposed it to Madam that day, I never expected Madam to agree."

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

"Only this one time, I am quite satisfied." Hongli said with a smile, "By the way, I heard that there has been some trouble in Madam's Golden Snake Camp recently. Would you like me to send someone to help Madam?"

"No need, that's just my way of deliberately paralyzing Kangxi, otherwise Kangxi would not 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 that day, and felt that Song Qingshu didn't seem to be sincerely avenging her. 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 would even Lian Qiu also forgot to report, so he had to choose to leave.However, she has followed Yuan Chengzhi to command the Golden Snake Camp for so long, and she is no longer the savage little girl who didn't understand anything and only loved to lose her temper.Before, because her husband was killed, hatred blinded her eyes, and she had already calmed down during this time.In her opinion, Luo Bing was limited by his vision, and his schemes were full of loopholes. Xia Qingqing was not as stupid as the people in the Red Flower Society, who easily gave up her innocence for an illusory possibility.

Xia Qingqing first went south to Shandong, and saw that the hills in the Golden Snake Camp were fighting happily, and angrily brought a group of cronies to the north to Shengjing.

Hongli is having a headache because of Princess Jianning, and Wu Sangui, the king of Hepingxi, fell out and lost Wu Sangui as an ally. He has hundreds of thousands of troops at his disposal. There is no way out before, and there is a desperate situation for chasing soldiers behind.Of course, if he was willing to be a lord of a separatist regime, he would naturally be able to guard his one-acre three-quarters of land for decades. It's a pity that he has been coveting the dragon chair in the capital, so why would he want to be a lord?

Xia Qingqing's arrival made him overjoyed, because she brought another way out: join forces with the Golden Snake Camp, and the Golden Snake Camp will help him transport the army from Lushunkou to Tianjin Wei by sea, and the Golden Snake Camp will raise troops from Shandong and fight 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 fiercely.

The reason why Hongli had never thought of sending troops from the sea before was because none of his soldiers were good at water warfare, and the Bohai Sea was under the control of Shenlong Island, which had already surrendered to Mongolia. If he set off from the sea, hundreds of thousands of elite troops would It will only be buried in the belly of a fish, but forming an alliance with the Golden Snake Camp can perfectly solve all this.

The Golden Snake Camp flourished overseas in the early years, and is still the overlord of the Yellow Sea today. They are proficient in water warfare and can deal with the Dragon Cult just right.

Therefore, Hongli and Xia Qingqing hit it off and quickly formed an alliance. During this period of time, in order to discuss how to deal with the Shenlong Cult and the specific details of future cooperation, Xia Qingqing had to meet with him frequently.Hongli was worried that a strange woman who often came in and out of the palace would arouse the suspicion of interested people and reveal the big plan, so he placed Xia Qingqing in the palace as a side Fujin to deceive others.

"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 personal enmity, there was no need to lie to himself, so he changed the subject, "Yes By the way, Madam Yuan, did you see the imperial envoy sent by the imperial court at the banquet today?"

"Imperial envoy?" Xia Qingqing's heart skipped a beat, and she said calmly, "I've seen it before. He looks like a pretty boy. It doesn't look like much. He must have no real skills."

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

"No matter how high your martial arts is, it's just a knife. It can handle any big waves." Xia Qingqing deliberately put on a dismissive expression.

"When martial arts reach a certain level, it is no longer a knife. Madam Yuan, do you still remember how your husband died? The Golden Snake King has high martial arts skills, an army of 10,000+ under his command, and the majestic overlord of one party. Wouldn't he still die in the undefeated Bolang of the East? With one blow, Huangtu's hegemony was wiped out." Hongli deliberately looked at Xia Qingqing's face.

Xia Qingqing's face changed drastically: "One day I will definitely kill Dongfang Bubai to avenge Brother Yuan... But how many Dongfang Bubai are there in the world? Although Song Qingshu's martial arts are good, but if he wants to assassinate the prince, I'm afraid he is still powerless." Missed."

"There are many masters in this palace, so naturally there is no need to be afraid of him." Hongli patted his chest passionately, "It's just that at his age, he already has the bearing of a master, and it's hard to guarantee that he won't grow into the kind of person who kills a person in ten steps and never stays behind. The terror exists, and we have to guard against it."

"What does the lord mean to attack him before he's fully grown?" Xia Qingqing asked blankly, "It's just that I'm afraid it will scare the snake and make Kangxi vigilant. The loss outweighs the gain."

"I think it's just the opposite," Hongli sneered, "According to the spies' report, Kangxi has asked him to prepare for the establishment of a secret intelligence agency - the sticky pole. If it is really established, our future actions may be restricted everywhere in the future, and we will always be passive in marching and fighting." .Hehe, as the saying goes, if you don’t go to heaven, you don’t go, but you come to hell if you don’t have a way. This time he threw himself into the trap, how could this king let go of such a great opportunity?”

"But he is an imperial envoy after all. If the prince takes action, I'm afraid the situation will be out of control." Xia Qingqing frowned, feeling anxious.

"It's okay, this king has his own plan." Hongli smiled inscrutablely.

Song Qingshu was escorted back to the Sifang Pavilion by his subordinates, just as he got off the carriage, a royal guard came up to meet him, and said softly, "Lord Song, a beautiful woman came to see you just now."

"Beautiful girl?" Song Qingshu opened his eyes slightly, and said in a daze, "Did she announce her name?"

The guard replied respectfully: "No, but the other party was disguised when he came, and it seemed that he deliberately concealed his whereabouts. Our brothers thought that she must have something important to ask the Lord, so we took her into the hall on our own initiative, and now we are waiting inside. .”

"Could it be Xia Qingqing?" Song Qingshu was overjoyed, pushed away the guards and staggered inside.

Chapter 2 Sweet Dreams

Song Qingshu had just run a few steps when he kicked garlic and threw himself on the ground.Fortunately, the guards around him had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and they supported him so that his face would not come into close contact with the earth.It's just this tossing, the drunkenness rose, and Song Qingshu actually fell into a deep sleep.

"What should I do?" Zhang Kangnian and Zhao Qixian stared at each other, feeling at a loss for a moment.

"It's better to help the adult to rest on the bed first, and then help him clean up." Finally, the two reached an agreement and quickly helped him to the bedroom.

After finally putting Song Qingshu on the bed, Zhang Kangnian suddenly had an alarm bell in his heart, and hurriedly turned around and shouted: "Who is it?" Zhao Qixian was also startled, and quickly drew out his knife to look vigilantly at the shadow in the corner.

"What's wrong with Mr. Song?" At this moment, a weak female voice rang out from the corner.

Hearing this voice, Zhang Kangnian and Zhao Qixian relaxed unconsciously. A woman with such a gentle voice, even if she is not a weak and weak daughter, is not an assassin.

Looking through the light, there is a gentle and graceful young woman standing beside a chair, her whole body is wrapped in a snow-white cloak. Although her face looks tired, it is hard to hide her delicate and charming face.

Zhang Kangnian was taken aback: "Madam, who are you?"

Nan Lan thought to herself: If I said that I just asked to see Song Qingshu for something, they might look down on me and drive me away, so it's better to bluff them.During this period of time, Nan Lan was used to seeing the faces of small officials in the yamen, so she was naturally on guard.

"I'm Qing Shu's good friend, is he... drunk?" Nan Lan frowned when she smelled the alcohol in the room.

"Good friend?" Zhang Kangnian and Zhao Qixian looked at each other strangely, and immediately put on a flattering smile, "Understood." I wondered in my heart: In the middle of the night, a woman is alone in Mr. Song's bedroom. it goes without saying?Just looking at the woman's bun, she seems to be a married woman. I didn't expect Mrs. Song to like this, but such a beautiful little lady, even if she is married, there are very few men who can't be tempted. Song My lord is really lucky, but I don't know which man is going to be a turtle.

"Go and prepare some hot water and towels. Leave them to me here." Nan Lan took off her cloak and put it on the chair. The two guards swallowed wildly.

"Yes, yes, yes." Seeing her giving orders like a hostess, Zhang and Zhao not only didn't feel disgusted, but took it for granted, and hurriedly retreated outside the house to get hot water.

"Old Zhang, did you see that girl's skin just now? It's so tender that water can be squeezed out." Feeling that there was a lot of distance, Zhao Qixian pushed Zhang Kangnian next to him with his shoulder.

"Shut up, don't die, that's Mrs. Song's woman... But, she is indeed a beauty with big breasts and upturned buttocks." Zhang Kangnian winked and said, and the two men smiled knowingly.

Taking the hot water basin from the guard, Nan Lan slammed the door shut.She noticed the wretched smiles in the eyes of the two of them, of course she knew right? The other party had misunderstood her relationship with Song Qingshu, but she had no choice but to come to Song Qingshu so late.

During the day, she inquired about the news that her husband was subjected to a kind of inhumane torture today, and most of his life was lost. She was anxious, and hurried to the Rujia Inn in the west of the city, only to find that Song Qingshu was gone.After inquiring, I found out that he had already lived in the Sifang Pavilion as an imperial envoy, and hurried over again.

Worried about being recognized by her husband's friends in the officialdom, Nan Lan deliberately wrapped herself in a cloak three layers outside. She changed from a curvaceous young woman to a bloated peasant woman. Unexpectedly, Song Qingshu stayed in the Sifang Pavilion. The guard is also a smart person, seeing her gorgeous face clearly, and also noticed her attire, when he heard that she was looking for Master Song, he quickly led her in.

However, there were too many people coming in and out of the Sifang Pavilion. To be on the safe side, the guards led her to Song Qingshu's bedroom and waited for him to come back. As a result, they waited until now.
