Fragrance Stealer

Li Kexiu sighed: "Over the past few years, China has been in decline, and rebel armies have risen everywhere in the Central Plains. I don't know how many rebel armies suddenly prospered and then suddenly fell. If you understand what power is like, you can be a bandit, but you can't win the world."

"Originally based on our friendship, it should be the best choice for me to join the Golden Snake Camp, but since it is impossible for the Golden Snake Camp to rule the world, then I would risk my family by taking refuge in the Golden Snake Camp," Li Kexiu said, "Instead of our family If the smoke disappears, it would be better for a strong man to sever his wrists today. At most, a few of my wife and son will be sacrificed now. If they join the Golden Snake Camp, the destruction of the Golden Snake Camp in the future will be a catastrophe for our entire family. I hope my nephew understands."

Song Qingshu smiled slightly: "It's normal for Uncle Li to have these concerns, but the Golden Snake Battalion under my leadership is different from other rebels who are like rogues. We not only have the strength to defeat the powerful Qing army, but also can manage the Shandong area in an orderly manner." , the people in the territory live and work in peace and contentment. Yangzhou is not very far from Shandong, and Uncle Li must know that what I said is true."

Li Kexiu nodded slightly: "That's right, these days Shandong is really well-organized and harmonious, and it's a scene of prosperity." Then he changed the subject and continued: "But in my opinion, this is just a temporary prosperity. After the chaos, the existence of the Golden Snake Battalion will definitely not be tolerated, and the Jin Kingdom has always advanced and retreated with the Qing Dynasty, so how long can the Golden Snake Battalion last under the oppression of the two major military powers?"

This actually represents the views of most people in the world on the future of the Golden Snake Camp. After all, the Golden Snake Camp is surrounded by the Kingdom of Jin to the west, the Kingdom of Qing to the north, and the vast sea to the east. There is no room for expansion at all. It is the limit to maintain the current situation. What future?

"Qing and Jin?" Song Qingshu smiled inscrutably, "Uncle Li, because we are not our own people now, so I can't tell you some things, I can only say that Qing and Jin will not become obstacles to the Golden Snake Camp. , it will become a support for the Golden Snake Camp."

The fact that he secretly controlled the Jin and Qing countries is the biggest secret and hole card, so it is naturally impossible to tell others at will.It's not that Song Qingshu has never considered using this as a bargaining chip to persuade Li Kexiu to join. Theoretically speaking, the hope of success is very high.But the risk to be taken is too great, if Li Kexiu leaks this matter, all his previous arrangements will be in vain.Therefore, he held Wang Bo in his hand, but he couldn't hit it easily.

"How do you say that?" Li Kexiu was also an old fox who had lived in the officialdom for a long time, and soon realized the mystery in his words.

Song Qingshu sorted out the language: "I can only say that I can influence the decision-making of the courts of the two countries to a certain extent. I don't know if Uncle Li is satisfied with this?"

"Can it affect the decision-making of the court?" Li Kexiu was taken aback, but he also knew that the key to these words is the extent to which they can be affected. If you ask the other party directly, the other party will definitely not tell you the details, but you can try. On the sidelines, "If my nephew can let Suo'etu and Tang Kuobian leave Yangzhou, I can consider forming an alliance with the Golden Snake Camp."

During this time, Suo'etu and Tang Kuobian were in Yangzhou, which put him under great pressure. He couldn't do anything he wanted to do, so naturally he wished that the two gods of plague would leave sooner.

Of course, Li Kexiu just said it casually. Even if Song Qingshu kept saying that he could influence the Qing Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty, Suo'etu and Tang Kuobian were the number one figures in their respective courts. He didn't think that the other party had the ability to influence these two people. .

Li Kexiu said this on purpose, just to let Song Qingshu get out of trouble, so as not to embarrass everyone by being too straightforward.

Who knew that Song Qingshu looked at him with a strange face: "Uncle Li's words are serious?"

Li Kexiu was startled, but still nodded, "Of course it is true." In his mind, how could two senior figures be so easily influenced by the Golden Snake Camp?

"Then let's make it a deal." Song Qingshu laughed inscrutablely, which made Li Kexiu's heart skip a beat, as if he had fallen into a pit.

After separating from Li Kexiu, Song Qingshu did not return to the Daotai Yamen, but went to a secret stronghold of the Golden Dragon Gang first, and immediately wrote a secret decree to Suo'etu.He carried a lot of this kind of blank secret decree with the jade seal with him, just in case he needed it, and when he pretended to be Kangxi in the Forbidden City, he learned Kangxi's notes vividly, so this secret decree is enough to confuse the real one. To some extent, this decree is indeed true.

Then wrote a secret letter to inform Dongfang Muxue in the Forbidden City, so that Suo'etu would return to Beijing in time, and the confessions of both parties would be wrong.He wrote this secret letter in coded language, without the corresponding secret key, even if it was intercepted, nothing would be revealed.Song Qingshu came from a later generation, after all, he has a lot of previous experience in this regard.

After sending people to send the two secret letters to their respective channels, Song Qingshu leisurely rushed back to the Daotai yamen.

He didn't know that Lu Guanying and his wife were already arguing in the other courtyard of the Daotai Yamen at this time.

"How can you trust me!" Looking at her angry husband, tears of grievance rolled in Cheng Yaojia's eyes.

Lu Guanying sneered while lying on the bed, but did not speak.

Cheng Yaojia was bitter in her heart, but seeing her husband's wounds and thick bandages, her heart softened again, she walked over and grabbed his sleeve, and said softly: "Guanying, let's not do it again. We had a fight, okay, let's make up."

Lu Guanying's face was uncertain, and he suddenly said: "It's okay to reconcile, but you must promise me one thing first."

Cheng Yaojia was overjoyed, and couldn't help but smile on his face: "Don't say it's one piece, even if it's ten or a hundred pieces, as long as I can do it, I will definitely agree."

"Of course you can do it." Lu Guanying gave his wife a meaningful look, "You go and ask that person to help rescue Master Han, Uncle Lu and others."

"Ah?" Cheng Yaojia looked embarrassed, "Just saving you has already made him take a great risk, and I begged so hard that he reluctantly agreed. I'm afraid to save Mr. Han and the others."

"Begging for help." Lu Guanying's face twitched a few times, and he said with a sneer, "His martial arts are so high, it's easy to save people, so what's the risk?"

"But after all, he is an official of the Kingdom of Jin, and he is an enemy of our Great Song Dynasty, so how could he be willing to save Mr. Han and the others?" For some reason, Cheng Yaojia subconsciously spoke for Song Qingshu, and at the same time did not reveal his true identity.

"From the standpoint of an official of the Kingdom of Jin, he really won't save Master Han and the others." Lu Guanying paused, then stared at his wife meaningfully, "But what if it's for you?"

Cheng Yaojia's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?"

Lu Guanying lowered his eyes and said expressionlessly: "Go to his room later in the evening, no matter what method you use, you must make him agree to help."

The blood on Cheng Yaojia's face faded, she took a few steps back subconsciously, and looked at her husband in disbelief: "Do you know what you are talking about?"

"Of course I know!" Lu Guanying's expression suddenly became ferocious, "But what can I do! Our Lu family has already put the fate of the entire family on Mr. Han. If something happens to him here, our Lu family will The family is completely finished, and Jia Sidao and Shi Miyuan will settle their accounts in the future, and our Lu family will be destroyed forever, the men will be slaves and the women will be filled into Jiaofangsi, and the Shanyin Lu clan will disappear in the long river of history humiliatingly."

"But I'm your wife, how can you let me do such a thing?" Cheng Yaojia murmured.

Lu Guanying sneered: "What do you mean by asking you to do this kind of thing? It's as if you haven't done it before, so what's the point one more time?"

This is exactly what Lu Guanying really thinks. He only thinks that his wife has done something sorry for him. Since the matter of his wife's loss of virginity can no longer be changed, he will go along with the flow and use his wife to rescue Han Yuzhou and others to maximize his benefits.

Although as a man, this kind of thing is a bit fucked up, but compared with the interests of the whole family, a wife is completely negligible.

"You!" Cheng Yaojia pointed at her husband, who was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Lu Guanying has always known his wife's character, and knows that she is shy and tender, and if she is pushed into a hurry, it may be counterproductive, so she quickly said softly: "Yao Jia, I was not good before, in fact, it happened after I came to Yangzhou this time. It's not your fault, it's just my inability to protect you. But now that something has happened, we have to face it positively. You also know that the honor and disgrace of our Lu family are tied to Mr. Han. If something happens to him Things, our whole family will suffer, and you, as the daughter-in-law of the Lu family, will end up not much better."

"If you can save Mr. Han this time, Mr. Han will definitely repay his kindness by then, and our couple's status in the family will also rise."

Seeing that his wife has been silent, Lu Guanying continued: "I will remember your sacrifice this time, and I will treat you even better when I return to Jiangnan. At that time, we will treat these things in Yangzhou as a dream, okay? ?”

Cheng Yaojia shook her head and smiled sadly: "Since you want me to find another man, then I will go to him at night."

Chapter 1073

When Song Qingshu returned to the other courtyard of Daotai Yamen, it was getting late, so he specially invited Cheng Yaojia and his wife to dinner.

What surprised him was that Lu Guanying did not sneer or sneer during the dinner for the first time, but kept silent. Cheng Yaojia seemed to have thoughts too, and he was out of his mind all night.

"Master Lu, just relax, and heal your wounds here during this time. There is no place in Yangzhou that is safer than here." Song Qingshu put down his wine glass and said with a smile.

Lu Guanying's expression changed several times, but he still cupped his hands: "Thank you!"

Song Qingshu raised his eyebrows. The other party's attitude was completely different. It was a bit strange. He couldn't help but glance at Cheng Yaojia, and found that her face turned red and pale for a while, but she just moved her chopsticks subconsciously, and she looked preoccupied.

"Strange." Song Qingshu frowned, but he soon realized that he had too many things to think about now, so naturally he didn't have the energy to figure out what the young couple was thinking.

After dinner, Song Qingshu arranged the couple to rest in different rooms, and then arranged a bunch of doctors and maids to take care of Lu Guanying. Cheng Yaojia blushed, but took the initiative to run over to take care of her husband.

Song Qingshu couldn't help laughing, knowing that Cheng Yaojia was worried about what he would do to her, he wondered if he was that scary, your husband is still there...

But he didn't stop them either. After all, the two of them were husband and wife in name. Although there was a divorce letter, how could the relationship between them have been broken for so many years?

After returning to the room, Song Qingshu kept thinking about the current situation in Yangzhou and the issue of Li Kexiu's ownership, and the night was already deep before he knew it.

Suddenly, his heart moved, and he looked up at the door.

"Song... Mr. Song, can I come in?" There were a few light knocks on the door first, and then Cheng Yaojia's timid voice sounded.

"Please come in!" Song Qingshu was keenly aware of the trembling in the other party's voice, and wondered in his heart, the two have been together for so long, why is she still so afraid of herself?

In fact, strictly speaking, Cheng Yaojia and Huang Rong are of the same generation after all. Fortunately, Song Qingshu is also in his thirties now, so the age gap between the two parties is only a few years old, but Cheng Yaojia is older after all, so it should be considered His elder sister, but she has a shy temperament, coupled with a delicate face, when the two get along, Song Qingshu treats her like a little sister.

The door was quickly pushed open from the outside, and a dignified and gentle young woman walked in, a plain long dress made her look extraordinarily beautiful and moving.

"Madam is so beautiful now." Song Qingshu couldn't help admiring, and at the same time, his eyes fell on her steamy hair, obviously she had just bathed not long ago.
