Flower Stealing Master-Chapter 416: The Truth Under the Mist I

Song Qingshu put on a smile on his face, “Because I thought that female ghosts and fairies in legends are usually very affectionate, so I wanted to come here and try my luck to see if I would have a love affair. Hehe, I didn’t expect that I would actually meet you…”

Zhao Min’s face turned red and she couldn’t help but snap, “Bah, no ivory will come out of a dog’s mouth!”

“How about you spit one out for me to see?” Seeing Zhao Min’s eyebrows rising, Song Qingshu said quickly. , “Okay, okay, let’s talk about business. It’s so late, why are you looking for me?”

“I’m just playing the Guqin here, and you came here by yourself, why are you asking me?” Zhao Min snorted, her voice crisp and moving.

“Just be honest. It’s late at night, and you just happened to run to the place where I was passing by to play the Guqin. Who will believe you even if you say that you don’t have any intentions to call me.” Song Qingshu sat down next to Zhao Min, and gave her a contemptuous look.

“Hey!” Seeing him casually approach her, Zhao Min stood up as if being she was burned, “Why are you so annoying?”

“If you don’t have anything to say, should I leave?” Thinking of the two beautiful ladies waiting for him at home, Song Qingshu didn’t have the patience to spend time with Zhao Min here.

Zhao Min couldn’t help but wrinkle her nose and softly snorted, “I know that you are suffering from the lack of sufficient support from the faction leaders, so I come to help you with good intentions, but you treat them like this?”

“What’s with that disgusting tone?” Song Qingshu felt a chill and waved his hand quickly, “How could you be so kind? Tell me, what do you want in exchange?”

Song Qingshu knew quite well that Zhao Min had always been talented in scheming, as well as an extremely rational and mature politician. He wasn’t Zhang Wuji, so how could she talk to him in such a delicate tone? Therefore, Zhao Min must have something that she wanton from him.

‘No wonder she’s waiting for me at this place. Her intelligence agency must have learned that the Golden Dragon Gang had refused to agree to my candidacy. After a little analysis, she knew that I would definitely come to find out, so she waited here from the start.’

‘As for why she didn’t stop me before I went to the Golden Dragon Gang, it was obviously because she would have more chips when I returned without success.’

Zhao Minbo said angrily, “Don’t act like I’m the one who needs help. According to my calculations, you only have the support of four faction leaders at most, and you still need two more faction leaders to nod before you are qualified to run for the Golden Serpent King. At the moment, the competition between the factions is fierce, and your martial arts is so high, who would want to have a competitor as strong as you? If my prediction is correct, even if you visit the other faction leaders next, you will never get another support.”

Song Qingshu’s face darkened, knowing that she was telling the truth. This was what he was most worried about. If he didn’t even have the qualifications to participate, it would be useless for him to have extraordinary abilities.

“Aren’t you afraid that I would become the Golden Serpent King?” Song Qingshu asked curiously.

“I wish you could become the Golden Serpent King…” Zhao Min blurted out. Noticing the strange look in Song Qingshu’s eyes, she hurriedly explained, “Don’t think much about it. You also know that it will be our Ruyang Palace’s responsibility to deal with the Qing Dynasty soon. If the new Golden Serpent King is a mediocre person, it would cause the Golden Serpent Camp to be eliminated by the Qing Dynasty in three strikes. Then we would have a headache.”

Song Qingshu suddenly realized, “So you need the Golden Serpent Camp to exist all the time, which will expend the Qing Dynasty’s energy and consume their military strength?”

He laughed secretly in his heart, ‘If Zhao Min later finds out that I am also ‘Kangxi’, wouldn’t she be angry to death?’

“Not bad!” Zhao Min admitted frankly, “This time I went south specifically as an envoy to the Southern Song Dynasty, but actually I wanted to support a person in the Golden Serpent Camp. Originally, I wanted to find Yang Miaozhen, the fourth lady of the Red Coat Army. But who knew they had formed an alliance with the Sun Moon God Cult.”

Zhao Min’s expression was obviously very angry, as if a beloved toy had been snatched away by someone else.

“Why are you unwilling to support the Red Coat Army after they formed an alliance with the Sun Moon God Cult?” Song Qingshu asked curiously.

Zhao Min snorted, “Of course I have my reasons, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

Song Qingshu nodded, “Okay, then tell me what conditions you want me to promise you.”

“Come with me later to meet someone.” The faint moonlight shined through the gaps in the pine leaves and fell on Zhao Min’s flawless cheeks, making her look like a fairy who had fallen into the world. Unfortunately, her face was solemn, with a hint of murderous aura.

“Who is it?” Song Qingshu asked curiously.

Zhao Min hesitated for a long time, and finally opened her red lips slightly and faintly uttered two words, “Zhang Wuji.”

Song Qingshu’s expression changed slightly and he became silent.

“Is Zhang Wuji somewhere nearby?” Song Qingshu thought of the fight he had with Zhang Wuji not long ago. Then he suddenly asked out of curiosity, “Why do you need someone to accompany you when you go to see Zhang Wuji?”

Generally, when couples meet, they would want the meeting to be as private as possible for fear of being seen by outsiders. Zhao Min wanted to do the opposite.

A trace of inexplicable sadness flashed in Zhao Min’s eyes, and she revealed a sad smile, “He is the leader of the Ming Cult, and I am the princess of Mongolia. The war between Mongolia and the Ming Cult is fierce now, and I have to be on guard to avoid being taken hostage by him.”

‘How could Zhang Wuji be willing to take you as a hostage?’ After hearing Zhao Min’s reason that was full of mystery, Song Qingshu subconsciously thought of something, but seeing that she didn’t want to explain, he didn’t ask.

“Then why don’t you ask your subordinates to accompany you?” Song Qingshu was indeed finding the situation very strange.

Zhao Min had many masters as subordinates. Taoist Baishang, the master of the Vajra Sect, and Monk Jinlun were all top masters. The two Xuanming Elders were also not weak. So why not bring more trustworthy subordinates with her instead?

After thinking about it, Song Qingshu even began to wonder if this was a trap designed by Zhao Min to take the opportunity to surround and kill him.

“There are some things I don’t want them to know.” Zhao Min said coldly, with an expressionless face, “Are you going or not?”

“Yes, of course.” Since Zhao Min could provide enough support from the faction leaders, why would he not take the offer? Even if there was an ambush, with his current martial arts and unparalleled Qinggon, it should be more than enough to protect himself.

“Then let’s go.” Zhao Min fluttered her sleeves and left.

“Hey…” After looking at the Guqin next to him, which was obviously not an ordinary product, Song Qingshu felt sorry for the thing, “Will you just leave this Guqin here?”

Zhao Min paused, and finally let out a faint sigh, “I no longer have a listener, what the use of having it…”

‘What a prodigal b1tch.’ Song Qingshu couldn’t help but mutter, and quickly followed, “Can you tell me what happened between you and Zhang Wuji?”

“I don’t know either.” Zhao Min lightly shook her head.

“You don’t know?” Song Qingshu was stunned.

Zhao Min forced a smile, “I also have a lot of doubts in my heart, so I’m going to ask for clarification now.”
