Fragrance Stealer

"I'm sending you off to the Marshal." Li Kexiu followed with a smile.

Seeing the two teams leaving, Lu You hurriedly said to the middle-aged man with the goatee: "Master Han, this place has been exposed, we need to change to another place as soon as possible."

"No!" Master Han shook his head and said, "We will stay here and not go anywhere."

"But……"

Lu You wanted to say something else, but Master Han raised his hand to stop him: "Marshal Jin led his troops here today but returned without success. There is no safer place in Yangzhou than here. If we change places, it won't be just right. Prove that you have a guilty conscience, and give the Marshal of the Kingdom of Jin an excuse to find fault? And we have been here, Li Kexiu has to protect us all the time, so that in the eyes of everyone, he is with us, and then we want to sit on the wall It's not that easy anymore."

Lu You's eyes lit up, and he admired sincerely: "Master Han really thinks loftily, admire, admire!"

Li Kexiu escorted Song Qingshu all the way back to the office of the imperial envoy of Daotai Yamen, and then said goodbye: "Master Marshal, please rest well, the case of Yangzhou prefect being robbed, I will leave it to the lower officials to investigate."

Song Qingshu talked to him along the way, obviously chatting a lot, but there was no useful information from the beginning to the end, so he had to secretly scold the old fox for his watertightness.

Seeing him leave, Song Qingshu didn't try to keep him, and let him leave with a few words of casual entertainment.

After Li Kexiu left, Song Qingshu changed into casual clothes and quietly followed.As expected, after Li Kexiu left the Daotai yamen, she detoured seven times and eight times, and finally entered Yuqing Temple.

Although Li Kexiu had already paid enough attention to whether he was being followed, how could he find Song Qingshu?

"It's just in time, I just wanted to hear how far you guys are talking." Song Qingshu found a remote corner and quietly turned into Yuqing Temple.

After the turmoil just now, it is obvious that Yuqing Temple is guarded much more tightly. With Song Qingshu's martial arts, he has to be careful not to be discovered.

Following the direction in his memory, Song Qingshu found the courtyard just now, flew to the roof of the room in the middle as light as a swallow, lifted the roof tile and saw that the two parties really met here.

Behind Li Kexiu stood Lu Feiqing and Ma Zhen, and behind the one who called himself Han Jiefu stood Linghu Chong and Lu You.

Lu Feiqing, Lu You...

An idea flashed in Song Qingshu's mind, presumably this Lu Feiqing is also a member of the Shanyin Lu clan, it seems that the Southern Song Dynasty successfully hooked up with Li Kexiu only through Lu Feiqing's matchmaking.

But who is this Han Jiefu?Judging by his appearance, it is obvious that he is in a high position, but which high-ranking official in the Southern Song Dynasty was surnamed Han?

Song Qingshu was puzzled, and suddenly thought of Dai Qisi's mention of her husband Han Qianye being sent by the family to be an undercover agent in the Kingdom of Jin, and suddenly realized: So it was him!

Throughout the Song Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty combined, there were countless prominent families, but there was no difference in the family that was publicly recognized as the most prominent family in later generations, and that was the Zhending Han family!The representative figures are Han Qi in the Northern Song Dynasty and Han Tuozhou in the Southern Song Dynasty. Without exception, they have become powerful officials under one person and above ten thousand.

Calculating the time, this person can't be Han Qi, it can only be Han Tuozhou, who is currently a member of political affairs in the Southern Song Dynasty.Song Qingshu now lives in a temple, and has deliberately understood the power structure of various countries, so he was able to guess his true identity so quickly.

"Thank you, Mr. Li, for your help just now." Only Han Tuozhou said.

"Han Xiang is being polite. In fact, even if I don't come, Tang Kuobian may not be able to hurt you. But I heard that the guard next to Han Xiang stabbed more than a dozen Qing soldiers with his sword." Li Kexiu exclaimed. Looking at Linghu Chong standing aside, even Ma Zhen and Lu Feiqing behind him also looked sideways at him. Although they claimed to be masters in swordsmanship, they thought they couldn't do it if they wanted to stab more than a dozen brave soldiers with one sword.

Han Yuzhou was also very pleased: "I also met this general Wu Tiande and Wu by chance on the way. At that time, I was assassinated by a group of mysterious people. If General Wu hadn't rescued me, I'm afraid I would not have escaped the fate of the corpse wilderness."

Li Kexiu was taken aback: "Who has the guts to assassinate Prime Minister Han?"

Han Yuzhou snorted coldly: "It's not the remnants of those Bailians!"

Chapter 1027 The Mysterious Armor

Hearing the word "Bai Lian", Song Qingshu on the roof was startled. The Bai Lian Sect was so bold that he dared to openly assassinate a minister of the Southern Song Dynasty's ministerial level. I don't know if Zhou Zhiruo participated in this mission. It would be troublesome if he was injured by Linghu Chong.

But Song Qingshu quickly let go of his worries. Although Linghu Chong's swordsmanship is high, he is too serious. He has learned a star-attracting method and is still a semi-finished product. After all, Zhou Zhiruo won the number one master in the world at the Lion Slaying Conference. In the past two years, I have been practicing with myself from time to time to have a yin and yang mutual aid. The foundation of internal strength has long been solid and abnormal, and the hidden danger of martial arts has been eliminated. Now I have cultivated the "Nine Yin Manual" to a very high level. A master at the level of Wujue is more than enough to protect himself, let alone just Linghu Chong.

But what puzzled Song Qingshu the most was that Linghu Chonglu just drew his sword to help when he saw injustice, why did he stay by Han Tuozhou's side to protect him?

Linghu Chong has always been chic and open-minded, and he hates being restrained by all kinds of restraints. It is indeed surprising that he has become the imperial court's minion.

It's a pity that Song Qingshu couldn't guess that the reason why Linghu Chong followed Han Tuozhou was mainly caused by him.It turns out that in order to help Ren Woxing and his daughter deal with the difficult situation in Heimuya, Linghu Chong agreed to Ren Woxing to go to Fujian to find out the whereabouts of the evil sword manual.

It's a pity that news of the marriage between Heimuya and Jinsheying came from the rivers and lakes on the way. Linghu Chong felt as if he had been violently attacked. He wanted to go back to Heimuya to ask for clarification, but he thought of self-pity, whether it was appearance or martial arts, I can't compare to Song Qingshu, not to mention that he is still an overlord, with tens of thousands of elite soldiers under his command, controlling a territory with a radius of thousands of miles, but he is an orphan alone, even if he goes to Heimuya, what can he change? Would you choose him as your son-in-law?

In this way, he arrived in Fujian in a muddle-headed way, and happened to meet the Huashan group again. Seeing Lin Pingzhi and Yue Lingshan showing affection all day long, he was even more disheartened.

In order to avoid being recognized by acquaintances, he took the alias Wu Tiande, wandered around aimlessly, and drank all day to relieve his worries. By chance, he rescued Han Tuozhou and his party, and learned that the other party was actually a deputy minister of the Southern Song Dynasty court.

Seeing his amazing swordsmanship and strong martial arts, Han Yuzhou intends to recruit him, Linghu Chong subconsciously prepares to refuse, but suddenly thinks that the reason why Ren Woxing betrayed Yingying and betrothed Song Qingshu to Song Qingshu was not because the other party was more powerful, and marrying him would help the future. Luna religion?Then if he can make a name for himself and stand out, wouldn't he be able to snatch Yingying back with dignity?

Han Yuzhou was a high-ranking official in the Southern Song Dynasty. Wouldn't following him be a shortcut to the sky?

After thinking about all this clearly, Linghu Chong resolutely accepted Han Tuozhou's solicitation.Han Tuozhou didn't treat him badly, and promised to give him the status of carrying an imperial weapon at that time.

Although the words "daiyuqi" may seem ordinary, the background is extremely great.The guard force of the emperor in the Southern Song Dynasty was generally composed of four forces: the front of the palace, the commander of the palace, the commander of the imperial city, the three guards, and the imperial equipment.

The squadrons in front of the temple are always the most brave sergeants selected from the army, and the total number is about three to four thousand;

The gates of the imperial palace are guarded by the Imperial City Division. There are generally five cordon lines from the emperor's side. change;

The three guards are Xunwei, Yiwei, and Qinwei, but compared with the front of the palace, Zhubanzhi and Huangchengsi, their force value is much worse, because these people are the children of officials' families, and they are responsible for most of them. It belongs to the task of etiquette, but because it is close to the emperor, the selection is very strict. For example, the personal guards standing on both sides of the hall during the upper court are required to be concubines in the harem or the official observers, and the children of officials above the Hanlin degree. ;

Compared with these three forces, the imperial equipment is the most mysterious. They can be regarded as the real imperial guards with swords. There are not many people with this kind of official position. Most of the time there are only three or four. The two Songs combined for nearly 300 years , the most time did not exceed six.

With such a small number of people, the selection criteria are naturally extremely strict. Generally, they are people who are very trusted by the emperor and extremely brave. To please Huang Yaoshi and return to his teacher's school, he ventured to the palace to steal paintings and wanted to dedicate them to his master, but in the end he died with the chasing master in Niujia Village.

The military attache had a badge on his body, "Zhongzhou Defense Envoy Martial Arts Doctor Brings Imperial Equipment Shi Yanming". The official system of the Song Dynasty was very complicated. Zhongzhou Defense Envoy and Martial Arts Doctor were just titles.

In the original book, Huang Yaoshi lamented that if Qu Lingfeng hadn't been broken by himself, he would never have died under Shi Yanming's hands. In fact, the fact is just the opposite. Feng is by no means his opponent, if he hadn't felt contemptuous of Qu Lingfeng's inconvenient legs, he would never have fallen into the Peach Blossom Island trap set up by him, and would have ended up with him in the end.

As soon as Han Yuzhou came, he gave Linghu Chong the reward of bringing the imperial equipment. For a Jianghu person like Linghu Chong, it can be regarded as a step up to the sky. After all, the imperial equipment is usually used by the emperor's side, and it is easy to get the emperor's appreciation. .

Originally, such an important position as the imperial equipment was definitely not something that a minister could decide, but Han Yuzhou's family was very powerful, and a favorite concubine in the harem was on the same front as him, so it was not a big deal to arrange an imperial equipment. What a problem.

Song Qingshu didn't know that Linghu Chong had such an adventure, he just listened attentively to what the two parties were saying below.

Han Yuzhou obviously didn't want to continue discussing the topic of the White Lotus Sect with Li Kexiu, so he said, "Master Li, it's been so many days, how do you think about what you said last time?"

Li Kexiu smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Han, you also know that my family is still hostage in Yanjing City. If I openly change the flag and surrender to the Song Dynasty according to your request, wouldn't it take their lives?"

"You don't have to worry about this matter, we will naturally arrange for someone to rescue Master Li's family." Han Yuzhou replied.

Li Kexiu frowned: "It's not that I don't believe in Prime Minister Han. The current situation, the ownership of the Jianghuai generation, has attracted the attention of all parties, and I am on the cusp of the storm. The imperial court must be extremely strict with my family. It would be so easy to save."

Li Kexiu is not an idiot, he has sent people to Beijing several times before to try to save his family, but unfortunately the court guarded his family so tightly that the people he sent couldn't do anything.

Hearing his words, Han Tuozhou smiled mysteriously: "You can rest assured about this. Mr. Li asks himself who is more important to the Qing court than the daughter of Pingxi King Wu Sangui?"

Chapter 1028 The Eunuch Marries a Wife

"A Ke?" Hearing the following conversation, Song Qingshu couldn't help but startled. At the beginning, A Ke was brought back to Yanjing City by himself. Later, there were too many things, and he didn't think about how to arrange her, so he handed her over to Prince Kang to take care of her. I almost forgot about her existence, so why did Han Tuozhou's words seem to be related to her?

"The little princess of the Pingxi royal family?" Li Kexiu was startled, and weighed it in her heart. The situation in the Jianghuai area is indeed a bit delicate, but after all, she has not openly rebelled against the court, and has always been submissive.But Wu Sangui is different, the imperial court has always known his rebellion, Wu Sangui's daughter in Yanjing City is equivalent to having a hostage in his hands, and he can be used as a weapon, so the imperial court will only pay more attention to Wu Sangui's daughter than to his own family members. Above, never below.

"Master Li must have made a judgment in his mind," Han Yuzhou smiled slightly, "Maybe you might as well reveal a secret to your lord, Princess Ake of Pingxi Palace has been successfully rescued by our people."

"What!" Li Kexiu stood up in surprise.
