Yang Dejiang's confession did not move Qin Guogong and Song Shi, and he was obviously prepared for this matter.

However, Song Shi's complexion changed due to the damage report of the ballista. Although this change was fleeting, it was still caught by Qi Yunheng who had been watching Song Shi closely.

"Is it possible for the Duke to defend himself?" Qi Yunheng asked in a deep voice with a calm face.

"Minister...frightened." Song Shi lowered his head, seemingly pleading guilty, but at the same time, he showed an unwilling attitude that I was wronged, innocent, and helpless.

Qi Yunheng couldn't help frowning, "The only thing the Duke wants to tell me is the word 'fear'?"

Song Shi didn't speak any more, just lowered his head even lower.

Seeing Song Shi's appearance, Qi Yunheng quickly understood.

To use the words that his royal husband likes to describe, in the Song Dynasty, it was a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, and he decided that Qi Yunheng would not dare to do anything to him-this is probably the reason why he dared to return to Beijing, so he simply saved the effort of defending and waited for Qi Yunheng "disposition".

What made Qi Yunheng even more depressed was that he really couldn't do anything to Song Shi.

It is absolutely impossible to confiscate the family and exterminate the family, even the Duke of Qin cannot be deprived of it.

Realizing this, Qi Yunheng didn't bother to waste any more time with Song Shi, so he waved his hand and asked Eunuch Wei to send him out of the palace.

—I really want to chop off this guy's head!

Watching Qin Guogong disappear outside the palace gate, Qi Yunheng thought bitterly.

But it's just a thought.

Unless Qin Guogong blatantly raised the flag of rebellion, otherwise, it would be best to die, which would be in the interests of Qi Yunheng and the new country.

Of course, military power must be taken back, and people cannot be sent back to the Northwest Station.

The influence of the Song Dynasty in the army is unquestionable, and on certain occasions, it may even surpass the general order and tiger talisman.

However, the influence of the Song Dynasty was far from reaching the level where people could control the army remotely in the capital.

What the soldiers recognized was Song Shi himself, not the Song family, not the Duke of Qin's mansion.Even if Song Shi left his second son in the northwest, it would be impossible to control the Northwest army like he did.

To put it simply, if Song Shi raised his arms and called out, about half of the Northwest Garrison would be willing to rebel against him; but if Song Shi's son acted like this, the result would only be that the generals would swarm up and take down decisively.

Therefore, as long as Song Shi was left in the capital, Duke Qin's mansion would become a toothless tiger. At most, he would use his influence to create some incidents that disgusted Qi Yunheng.

...It's really disgusting!

Qi Yunheng sighed inaudibly, and began to miss his imperial husband again.

If Ouyang was here, he would definitely be able to find a way to help him vent his anger. Even if he couldn't, he could still make him happy with a few words.

It's a pity that Ouyang returned to the mansion outside the palace the day before yesterday, and he will not move back until the Xia Palace is completely tidied up.

Fortunately, after moving back this time, they can stay together day and night again.

When Qi Yunheng felt emotional, Song Shi, who had just walked out of the palace, unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, Song Shi was not as calm and composed as he appeared.

Song Shi's return to Beijing this time was a gamble, a bet on whether Qi Yunheng would change his mind if he was in a high position, a bet on whether Qi Yunheng would still recognize the credit he had made.

—Fortunately, he won the bet.

While thinking about it, Song Shi took the reins from the soldiers and got on the horse.

Ten years ago, when he took Qi Yunheng out of the capital, Song Shi didn't think about making Qi Yunheng the new master.

It's just that the Northwest Army at that time had no leader, and the generals each had their own troops, and no one was willing to submit to the other, let alone hand over military power to be controlled by Emperor Xinghe, the enemy who indirectly killed Wei Guogong.But the Northwest Army was already beset by enemies at that time, with foreign enemies in the north and internal troubles in the south.If they disperse in a rush and fight on their own, not only will the northern Tartars who have long been eyeing them take advantage of it, but it will also make the Northwest Army exist in name only and become a mass of scattered sand, which will be nibbled by the imperial court or the rebellious army.

In order to continue to unite the Northwest Army, fight against the enemy together, and hold together for warmth, Song Shi, the highest ranking and most powerful member of the Northwest Army, reached an agreement with Yang Songbai to return to the capital and take Qi Yunheng, the only son of Duke Wei, to the Northwest Station.

At that time, this was a compromise that had to be done. No one expected Qi Yunheng to hold up a piece of sky for the soldiers of the Northwest Army like his father Wei Guogong.Song Shi also made it very clear to Yang Songbai that he would not really give Qi Yunheng military power, but just take him over as a display so that the Northwest Army can continue to exist.

In Song Shi's vision, Qi Yunheng was an excess, and sooner or later the military power of the Northwest Army would fall into his or Yang Songbai's hands.

But as the price for taking military power, they are not easy to kill donkeys. Even if they fail to keep Qi Yunheng, they still have to leave a bloodline for the old Duke so that the incense of the Qi family can continue.

Thinking back on this now, Song Shi only felt that his face was hot, and he wished he could dig a hole and bury himself.

But at that time, no matter Song Shi, Yang Songbai, or even other generals in the Northwest Army, no one really looked down on Qi Yunheng.

What can a young gentleman who has grown up in the hands of women since childhood and has never left the capital, a place of luxury and luxury, understand?

What's more, this person was forced to "marry" someone and became a man's wife.

Such a person, even if he is not useless, must be as cowardly as a mouse and can only be manipulated by them.

When Qi Yunheng first arrived at the Northwest Army's garrison, he was indeed very obedient and honest. As Song Shi and others hoped, he neither sought military power nor pointed fingers.

However, three months later, Song Shi discovered that, before he knew it, the bodyguard team around Qi Yunheng had become a bodyguard battalion, and the number had increased from a dozen to hundreds.

Three years later, Qi Yunheng's position in the Northwest Army was already very important. Even veterans like Song Shi and Yang Songbai could only suggest and dare not order.

Five years later, the Northwest Army was renamed the Dongshan Army, and its sphere of influence has long gone beyond the Northwest, and has begun to develop towards the southeast.

By the tenth year, Duke Wei's son had become the emperor of the Hua Kingdom, and the veterans of the Song Dynasty had to bow down completely and bow their heads as ministers.

Song Shi was not reconciled to this.

If he hadn't taken Qi Yunheng back at the beginning, and the one who would aspire to the top of the world in the future, maybe he would be Song Shi.

But there is no medicine for regret in the world, no matter how much you regret at the beginning, it will not help.

It's just that the three words "not reconciled" are like a gangrene attached to the bone, making Song Shi unable to swallow food and sleepless at night.

After thinking about it, Song Shi felt that he might not have lost his chance.

At the beginning, Qi Yunheng relied on the small and large Northwest Army to develop and grow in the barren Northwest.

Today's Northwest Army is built around Song Shi's old army as the core, and it has all been in Song Shi's hands. Yang Songbai and other veterans have been transferred to other places, and they can no longer constrain him.

In comparison, Song Shi's current situation is more than 01:30 better than Qi Yunheng's.

The only difference lies in the word "chaos".

Throughout the history books, no rebel has been able to change the dynasty under the condition of peace in the world. Therefore, if you want to replicate Qi Yunheng's trajectory, you must first make the world chaotic again.

So, Song Shi thought about ways to mess up the world.

But maybe there is a destiny in this world.All the arrangements in the Song Dynasty went wrong in one way or another, and in the end they fell short.The eldest son, Song Fan, also seemed to have suffered a backlash. Not to mention he was seriously injured, his vitals were damaged, and he lost his ability to be human.

——The imperial husband is nine thousand years old!

Thinking of the eldest son, Song Shi thought of the chief culprit who brought the eldest son to such a situation, and couldn't help but get angry.

If this person hadn't made a big fuss in the Duke of Qin's mansion, even if the warehouse collapsed, the existence of the ballista would not have been exposed to the eyes of the world, and Song Shi would not have to give up his military power and return to the capital at the risk of being ransacked and wiped out.

Just as Qi Yunheng didn't dare to kill Song Shi, Song Shi didn't dare to rebel directly.

Song Shi knew very well that his prestige in the Northwest Army was not comparable to Qi Yunheng's prestige in the hearts of all soldiers, let alone Qi Yunheng's strict control over all soldiers and horses.

If he dared to raise the anti-flag, he would be surrounded and suppressed by other armies.

The day of raising troops is the time of death.

But before the matter of private possession of forbidden items broke out, Song Shi could at least give himself a thought, but now he completely gave up his thought.

At least, it is absolutely impossible in his generation!

Thinking of this, Song Shi couldn't help venting his anger on Ouyang, wishing he could tear him apart.

But before revenge, Song Shi had to free up his hands to rescue another guy who made him wish he could be cut to pieces from Qi Yunheng's hands.

Yang Dejiang.

This is a villain that Song Shi wanted to get rid of quickly, but unfortunately, he couldn't do that.

At least not yet.

In Yang Dejiang's hands, he held a big handle on him.

Compared with this handle, the fake jade seal...is nothing at all!

Ouyang didn't feel the nagging of others.

At this moment, he was sitting in his study, holding his own head—to be precise, holding the head of the mechanism puppet Shen Zhenren had just made, sympathizing with each other and taking pity on himself.

Such a scene is actually quite frightening.

A beauty was holding a human head that was realistic enough to smile slyly, but the face on the human head was exactly the same as him, no matter how you looked at it, it was a scene that only appeared in horror movies.

Su Su was taken aback by this scene. As soon as she entered the door, she screamed and jumped up like a cat with fur.

Ouyang was also frightened by her cry. When her hand slipped, the head of the puppet in her hand almost fell to the ground.

"It's broad daylight, what is the ghost's name!"

While holding the puppet's head firmly, Ouyang turned his head and glared at Su Su.

Before Ou Jing could explain, the rustling voice of the ugly cow came out from her bun.

"Don't tell me, this is the organ puppet you prepared for me!"

"It's just a shell!" Ouyang raised the puppet's head and put it next to his own head, "We won't know until the things in the body are made."

Three days ago, the ghost fire returned to the capital with the last batch of materials. Shen Zhenren also ended his contact with Daozong, officially settled in Ouyang's mansion, and began to make organ puppets for Ouyang.

But Shen Zhenren didn't know the existence of Ugly Cow, let alone that the user of this puppet was a ghost cultivator.

Ouyang didn't intend to let him know that everything from design to production was regulated by Ouyang, and Ugly Bull was not directly involved.

Until today, at this moment, Chou Niu accidentally discovered that his new body was actually built on the basis of Ouyang.

"Why do you want to make my mechanism puppet look like you?!" The ugly cow roared angrily.
