() Emperor Huizong did have murderous intentions towards Song Qing, but he didn't know why he suddenly felt this way.

When selecting officials in the Song Dynasty, appearance was the first priority.

Song Qing has long thin skin and tender flesh, and a dignified appearance. Although I dare not say that everyone loves him! But he is definitely not the type who wants to swing a knife when he sees her.

It happened that the old emperor had this idea now. Even he himself couldn't figure out where this idea came from.

Murderous intent is invisible, but for people with particularly sensitive senses, it can still be felt.

Even Master Liang Chengdu felt it, but now the doubts in his heart overshadowed the joy. He couldn't help but wonder, could the old ghost really take the wrong medicine today?

Song Qing also felt the murderous aura that suddenly erupted from the old emperor's body after seeing him, and he thought, "Does the old emperor really want to kill me?"

The emperor did not need any excuse to kill someone, let alone a gangster like Song Qing who had always been obedient to the imperial court. But how could Song Qing be willing to die?

Song Qing did not want to die, and the old emperor was also engaged in an ideological struggle in his mind at this time. Liangshan was close to the capital, and if Song Qing was really killed, it would inevitably provoke a rebellion in Liangshan. The Liangshan bandits had been fighting for many years and defeated the imperial army. If they really fought,

Who can stop it? Besides, how much money it will cost! It hurts to think about it.

Holding the Song brothers up high can not only help the court solve the current crisis, but also help me draw money. Why not? But when it comes to this kid, why do I always have the urge to kill him?

?

The old emperor's face was uncertain, but Song Qing saw an opportunity.

Kneeling on the ground respectfully, he said loudly: "Your Majesty said that the foreign minister is guilty, so the foreign minister must be guilty. However, before pleading guilty, the foreign minister must first thank Your Majesty for your forgiveness on behalf of my brother. My brother has long been determined to serve the imperial court. Now,

I am deeply favored by Your Majesty to enjoy a high official position. I believe that my brother will live up to His Majesty's expectations and be loyal to Your Majesty and to our Song Dynasty court."

You can kill me if you want, but you have to weigh your own weight and think about the consequences of killing me? I have more than 100,000 brothers in Liangshan who have nothing to do!

What happened in history has best proved the behavior of Emperors Hui and Qin. That is a typical person who bullies the weak and fears the strong. If everything goes according to him, he will definitely hit them in the nose. On the other hand, if they hurt them, they will

Transform into the most obedient rabbit.

So I have to beat these guys from time to time.

Song Qing's words hit the old emperor's pain point. After the murderous intention just flashed through his heart, he returned to his original thoughts. Just now, he was just imitating Liang Shicheng and wanted to give Song Qing power and make him behave.

How can a financial leader like Song Qing kill someone just as he says? Besides, there are still many things we have to rely on Liangshan to do!

Of course, we still have to find the ground for the steps. He turned his head and said to Liang Shicheng with a stern face: "Why do I think someone is trying to frame Song Aiqing? You go and investigate thoroughly. You must not let my beloved suffer any injustice. Come, first.

Untie Song Qing"

What the hell are you checking? It’s all bullshit.

Liang Shicheng sighed secretly, reluctantly agreed, dismissed the soldiers, and walked away in despair.

After driving away Liang Shicheng, the old emperor changed his expression and said kindly: "Song Aiqing, I already know your brother's loyalty. I hope your brother will continue to work hard and make new contributions to the court. I will not hesitate to reward you."

Song Qingzheng moved his painfully tied arms. Hearing this, he immediately saluted and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I and other brothers will never let down your Majesty's expectations and swear to be loyal to your Majesty to the death."

The old emperor nodded, and then chatted with Song Qing about the customs and customs of Liangshan and the situation of Liangshan's people.

Fooling people was Song Qing's strong point, and it was a matter of life and death, so why not use all his strength? He catered to the old emperor just right, and even praised the emperor's sage from time to time. Afterwards, what Song Qing said to himself

The nauseous words are a little numb.

For a time, the monarchs and ministers were laughing and chatting happily, and there was a peaceful atmosphere in the hall, as if what happened just now was not here, but someone was dazzled or had a dream.

If Liang Shicheng had seen this scene, he would have thought he was dreaming.

"Song Aiqing! I am going to give your brothers another task that no one else can handle."

"Your Majesty, please give me your instructions. When you go up to the mountain of knives or go down to the sea of ​​fire, my brothers will never even frown."

"Liangshan has strong soldiers and horses, so staying in the mountains is not a long-term solution. Now that the imperial court is using troops against the Liao Kingdom, it is also a great opportunity for your brother to make contributions. I wonder if the Song Qing family would be willing to lead their troops there?"

"It is my duty as a man of the Song Dynasty to fight against foreign captors. Your Majesty, please give me an order! I am willing to go back to the mountains immediately to mobilize troops and send troops to the Liao Kingdom. I will not give up until Youzhou is pacified."

"I will give your brother another order regarding the mobilization of troops. You go back and prepare, and go directly to King Kang on the front line!"

Old guy, you were afraid that I would not come out after returning to Liangshan, so you asked me to go directly to the front line. In this way, Song Jiang would have to send troops. Who said that the old emperor only knew how to cultivate immortality and didn't care about anything else? Isn't this very thief?

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I will go back and prepare now. I will never miss your Majesty's important event."

Song Qing thought that the conversation with the old emperor would end there, but he did not expect that the old emperor had no intention of letting him go.

"well!"

For some reason, the old emperor suddenly sighed.

"Your Majesty, you have something on your mind? I am willing to share your worries for Your Majesty." Song Qing's curiosity was aroused.

"I am so lucky to have a loyal minister like Song Qing! I actually have nothing on my mind. I just thought of the military salary you donated to the imperial court, and suddenly I felt something."

"The world is in chaos, disasters are constant, and the borders are not peaceful. The imperial court is really overwhelmed and the people are suffering! If all the people in the world could think of the imperial court like Song Qing's family, I wouldn't be so worried."

Song Qing understood. After all, this old guy still wants money! Haha! The acting is good. If I didn't know that you play cultivating immortals every day and spend money like water, you might really have been deceived by you. You

The old man has also worried about the people of the world? The sun rises from the west?

The brothers outside have to wait impatiently. I don’t have time to hang out with you here, so I might as well draw a bigger cake for you!

He pretended to think for a moment, and then said to the old emperor who looked at him resolutely: "It is our duty as ministers to share your Majesty's worries. I just thought that there is still a large amount of gold and silver in the stronghold, and the army is marching to the front.

It is inevitable that we cannot take them all away, so why not donate them all to His Majesty, who will make unified arrangements for all my brothers to be loyal to Your Majesty?"

"Haha! Well, you are worthy of being my humerus minister. When the Qing family comes back from their achievements, I will definitely give your brother a big reward. Let's see who dares to say that I treat you well."

It’s so damn tiring! You had said you wanted to get all Liangshan’s property, didn’t you? Why go to such trouble? I don’t know what to say next. When did I say so many flattering words!

Song Qing couldn't help but wipe his sweat secretly. He no longer had the intention to despise the old emperor as a person, so he had better run away quickly.

Having said this, the old emperor had achieved his goal and lost interest in talking to Song Qing. He asked Song Qing to return to his mansion and wait, and further instructions would be sent to him soon.

Song Qing took a deep breath and said goodbye to the emperor immediately.

The old emperor smiled as a reply to Song Qing, then closed his eyes and went into meditation. As for his true thoughts, I am afraid only he himself knows.

Unexpectedly, Song Qing walked out of the palace and never met Liang Shicheng again. He didn't know whether the old eunuch was really busy or avoiding him.

When they came out of the palace, the sky was already getting dark. Damselfly, Iron Hammer and others were all a little anxious as expected. This was not the place to talk. Song Qing led everyone on horseback and walked towards the residence.

Although the old emperor granted him and Song Jiang official titles and made promises, he did not immediately relax his supervision of him. A group of forbidden troops euphemistically called protection always followed behind him.

While walking, Song Qing softly asked Damselfly about the situation of his brothers. Just as he thought, if Damniang hadn't gone back in time to comfort him, the Liangshan heroes who couldn't see Song Qing would have caused chaos in the capital.

Now only Yang Zhi and a dozen of his brothers are waiting in the residence. The others have dispersed everywhere. Once the signal to retreat is given, they will split up and meet Song Qing outside the city.

The escape route secretly planned by Song Qing and Zhang Shun was on the only way back from the palace to their residence. There was a bridge across the Bian River, close to the Song Gate where the inner city and the outer city were connected. So as long as they created a chaos, let

People mistakenly thought that Song Qing was escaping from the Song Gate, and he jumped onto the river to meet the boat. Zhang Shun and others were able to send Song Qing out of the city in the shortest time.

There was no problem with the plan, but as Song Qing was walking, he suddenly thought of a very serious issue.

The fact that he had taken refuge in the imperial court was already known to the whole world. No matter what the purpose was, the old emperor and his son treated him and Song Jiang kindly, and they granted him official positions and gave them to the house. This matter would definitely spread.

If he suddenly ran away at this time, what would the people of the world think of him? Leaving aside others, the imperial court would have an upper hand in public opinion.

The imperial court has shown great favor to your brother, but it is your brother who is capricious, ambitious, and bent on betraying the imperial court.

In this way, morality will be on the side of the court.

Never underestimate morality. Just as public opinion in later generations can kill people, in this era, if you lose morality, you will surely lose the hearts of the people in the world.

You are about to leave, why did you think of this?

Song Qing couldn't help but secretly blame himself for being young and shallow, and taking some things for granted.

What to do? Go or not go? At the critical moment, Song Qing hesitated for the first time.

The damselfly on the side saw Song Qing's face looking uncertain, so she couldn't help but galloped a few steps to Song Qing's side, and reached out to hold Song Qing's hand.

Song Qingzheng was in a daze when he suddenly felt a soft little hand holding his own. Of course he could feel that it was a damselfly's hand, but at this time, he really wasn't in a tender mood.

He turned his head and forced a smile, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
