It wasn't like this in my last life

Although Song Xi wanted to hang Song Badai and tie it on his belt to keep it with him, in the end reason prevailed. Song Badai was right, it would be more dangerous to follow him into Suzhou. Right now, this is a more feasible way.Song Xi agreed, but he also made an agreement with Song Badai for three chapters. He could only act as a response, and could not personally take risks.

Song Badai agreed.

Song Xi, however, walked extremely uneasy, with a dark face all the way.After entering Suzhou, in order to serve as a good bait, Song Xi ordered someone to reveal his name as an imperial envoy, and all the officials in Suzhou greeted him outside the city, which was particularly high-profile.

Song Xi was in a bad mood, but he had no choice but to suppress his temper. He had a chat with these people, and euphemistically stated that His Majesty has always had doubts about Jiangnan's taxation. You are all sensible people. It is best Cooperate with the investigation, move all the account books over the years, and then summon the relevant personnel for questioning.

The old fritters in this team were amused when they heard it, and the people who came looked tender and didn't say anything, and they didn't understand anything.Those account books were kept clean, and the officials involved were all theirs. Those who were unwilling to cooperate had been cleared out long ago. Which of the remaining ones was not dirty? !Once this is stained, who would dare to speak out? !

At the reception banquet that night, both parties could not see the clues, and the host and guest enjoyed themselves.

Song Xi ate some food absent-mindedly, and the waiter next to him toasted again and again. Song Xi took a glance and found that he still looked a bit like their Xiaoba.This thought flooded the mind, and the worry that had been suppressed for a long time came out - I don't know where they are, Song Xiaoba always refuses to obey because of his own cleverness, and he doesn't know if he followed them secretly passed.But maybe he was overthinking, his family's Xiaoba can still tell right from wrong, and besides, there are two people from Anbu watching, nothing will happen.

Seeing Song Xi staring at the waiter, the accompanying officials were so happy that they slapped their thighs—it seems that the information they collected was correct, and whoever has been in the military camp all year round has no special hobbies? !What's more, Song Xi is quite famous. You can find out after a little inquiry. There are rumors outside that he is always accompanied by a delicate-skinned boy who is always in a hurry. He didn't bring it this time. I guess he is going to be overwhelmed. ?

Several officials headed by the governor of Suzhou winked at each other, stood up and said goodbye, and said that tomorrow they will have all the account books brought in, and as for tonight, let Song Xi do whatever he wants.Then I gave the waiter a wink, keep an eye on it, or the master will take your skin off.

In order to make Song Xi fall in love with him, the governor of Suzhou asked someone to describe Song Xi's little lover, and asked the following to find it according to the portrait.Needless to say, that kid still has some good looks. It's not that there are no ones who are prettier than him, but he just lacks such a sense of smell.After rummaging through the entire city of Suzhou, I finally found such a boy who was seven or eight times similar.It's a pity that he is a son of a good family, and it took some tricks to make him succumb.People who are not used to serving themselves are not at ease when using it.

"Master, let me serve you." After the others retreated, the boy who had just held the pot for Song Xi knelt down and crawled to his feet, his body trembling slightly.

Song Xi understood, and suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.Don't say he doesn't like it, even if he really likes it, even if he has a face similar to Xiaoba, he won't let it go!I always feel that I have desecrated their family, Song Xiaoba.However, Xiao Ba is indeed quite likable, and they are not blood relatives, if he is a wife, he will marry and go home.Well, why don't you think he's a woman?

Song Xi stroked her chin in secret regret, then lowered her head and glanced at the people on the ground.

"Get up, my son is not in the mood today. You just stay overnight in the next room, and I will send someone to take you back tomorrow morning. If someone asks, you can say that you are very happy. Don't worry, no one will embarrass you because of this .” According to the speed of Ning Fangxuan and the others, they must have been lurking near the prison where Mr. Qiu was imprisoned.They had agreed before that if they succeeded, they would send a signal to notify them. Song Xi estimated that it would be in the next few days.

Looks like it will take a few more days.

Just as he was thinking, he turned his head and saw that the kid hadn't left yet.

"Master, please don't chase the younger one, the younger one knows everything and is willing to do anything." He rushed over to hug Song Xi's leg, and put his hand between Song Xi's legs.

Song Xi only felt a surge of disgust in his heart, and turned away to avoid him, and patted him lightly, without using a heavy hand, which could barely force him back.

The kid was obviously terrified, crying with snot and tears all over his face, and kept begging for mercy.Song Xi frowned, and ordered someone to hold him back, "Forget it this time, if there is another time, I will definitely not be merciless." He glanced at the people below, thinking that he must have been fooled by lard just now, this time What is the similarity between Huo and Song Xiaoba?Look at this face with a sticky face from crying.

That kid obviously knew that he had messed up the matter, but fortunately, the nobleman didn't seem to blame him.After a little hesitation, he simply revealed all the inside information: "The master is magnanimous and does not blame, and the younger one is not willing to degenerate, it's just... It's just that if the younger one doesn't succeed tonight, the younger siblings in the younger family will all suffer."

There is such a thing!

Very good, Song Xi made an extra note to that team of fat officials.

"Get up." Song Xi didn't want to make any more troubles, "You can stay here tonight with peace of mind. My people are placed here inside and out, and no one will talk too much. As for your siblings, I will Find a way to rescue."

"Little one, little Wei Qi, thank you for your great kindness." The kid kowtowed three times to Song Xi.

After someone took Wei Qi down, Song Xi summoned Tsing Yi, "Is there any news from Xiao Ba?"

Tsing Yi shook his head, "Since we entered the city, the third master hasn't sent any news." Seeing Song Xi's brows tightened, Tsing Yi comforted him, "Don't worry, the female caddisworm feeds on the blood of the host. The host's life is in danger, the female caddisworm will send out a message, and the male caddisworm on my side can sense it."

Song Xi glanced at the quiet and docile little black spot on his arm, but he didn't think so in his heart. If it really got to that point, the distant water would not be able to save the nearby fire, and it would be useless except to worry.Just thinking so, he still carefully put down his sleeves so as not to crush that precious little thing.

He was full of worries here, but Song Badai's place was surprisingly calm.

Ning Fangxuan wiped the long sword in her hand with a calm expression.Song Badai sorted out his medicine box and carefully checked the medicinal materials he bought. Most of them were wound medicines for external application, and there were also some herbal medicines with detoxification effects. It is always safe to have more.After checking it properly, he packed it up carefully, and scratched the back of his neck again.

I don't know what's wrong these two days, I always feel like there is something on the back of my neck, but I can't touch it, and it's inconvenient to check.Forget it, it doesn't hurt or itch anyway, let's see Master after we go back.

"Madam Qiu, oh, Sister Ning, has the person who scouted the news returned?"

Ning Fangxuan shook her head, and was about to speak when the man who performed lightness kung fu in front of Song Xi last time came in quietly and handed her a small wax pill.

Ning Fangxuan looked at the three lines at a glance, and threw it on the ground, "This group of dog officials!!!" Gritting her teeth and suppressing tears, she nodded at the man, "Tell everyone, we will do it tomorrow night. The third child , Send a signal to Song Xi."

The time was a little urgent, and it must be too late for Song Xi to retreat after receiving the news.Song Badai was worried, and secretly hoped that there would be less movement here, so that Song Xi and the others could have more time to prepare.

Time slipped away in anxiety, and night came again. Ning Fangxuan and ten other people with better martial arts went to rescue people. Song Badai and Anbu stayed in a ruined temple in Shiyipo outside the city to wait.

Song Badai was very nervous, just like every time Song Xi went to war, he would be so worried that he couldn't sleep all night.He kept opening the medicine box to check the medical equipment inside, opening it, closing it, and opening it again.Anbu's guards seldom spoke, as if they sensed his uneasiness, the two exchanged a glance, then came down from the roof and sat where Song Badai could see.

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, Anbu's guard suddenly stood up, "Someone is here."

"Is it Miss Ning and the others?"

Before the guard could answer, the door of the temple was pushed open.Ning Fangxuan was carrying a man on her back, followed by her friends from the rivers and lakes, each of them was wounded.As soon as she entered the door, Ning Fangxuan immediately called Song Badai's name, "Come here and see for my husband, why does he keep coughing up blood..."

The Song and Eight Dynasties were almost unrecognizable, and the people in front of them were not even the gentleman Mr. Qiu, or even a single person.All the veins in his hands and feet were severed, and there was hardly a piece of good flesh on his body. It was all flesh from the wounds of multiple tortures, and he was already unconscious.

Not daring to delay, he immediately took a knife to cut off the rotten flesh, applied medicine to bandage it, and treated his several large wounds first. "The tendons in my hands and feet are troublesome. I will try my best. I will not be able to move for two hours from now. I have to bring some more medicine for me."

Ning Fangxuan gritted her teeth, "You just have to try, and leave the pursuers behind to us. The second child, you and the third child go to the front and set up some traps, so as to delay some time. Let's surround the temple. This life is desperate, and I will not let them step here."

Song Badai could no longer take care of her, and focused on treating Mr. Qiu without saying a word.

There was a noise coming from far outside the door, getting closer and closer.The two Anbu guards approached Song Badai. Although the fighting outside was fierce, they did not intend to take action because their only mission was to protect Song Badai.

An hour and a half later, the outside was a bit exhausted, and several groups of people took advantage of the gap to break in.Two people from Anbu, one on the left and one on the right, are protecting the Song and Eight Dynasties in the middle.

Suddenly, an arrow pierced through the roof, and the two of them couldn't save them, "Be careful!"

Song Xi, who was in a fierce battle, approached Song Badai and the others all the way, Tsing Yi was anxious: "Master, there are too many people over there, let's retreat in another direction." Damn it, if it wasn't for saving Wei Qi's younger siblings, they would have It is not possible to retreat so hastily.

"Tsing Yi, take my badge to join Xiaoba and the others." With this badge, they can go all the way to Beijing without hindrance.Song Xi handed the badge to Tsing Yi without any explanation, "I will lead the brothers to break through in another direction. Don't worry, they are coming after me. Once I leave, it will not be difficult for you to get out."

"Father!"

"This is a military order!"

Tsing Yi gritted her teeth, "Yes!"

Song Xi ignored him and led the others to break through from the other side. Sure enough, the pressure on Tsing Yi was lessened once he left.Song Xi headed east all the way. Before he came here, he had studied the terrain here. There was a cliff, behind it was a stretch of forest, and there must be running water below. If it was too late to retreat, it might be the last road.

"Retreat there."

At this moment, the stoneworm on Song Xi's arm suddenly moved.

Song Xi was startled.

The caddisworm began to squirm up and down frantically.

"General, be careful!"

A flying arrow went straight into Song Xi's chest.But he didn't realize it, staring blankly at the stone silkworm on his arm, roaring like a beast.
