Guo Jing was overjoyed when he heard this. "That would be perfect. Peach Blossom Island is both secluded and safe. Rong'er can stay there and peacefully carry the baby to term." Peach Blossom Island lay in the vast sea and was filled with all kinds of Qimen Dunjia mechanisms. Ordinary people would be lost there, and even experts on the level of the Five Greats could easily become trapped without a map of the island's mechanisms. Sending Huang Rong back to Peach Blossom Island was truly the best solution for everyone.
Huang Rong's eyes also lit up. The current situation clearly made it inconvenient for her to return to Xiangyang. Peach Blossom Island was where she had grown up, and it was also the place where she had been happiest. It was infinitely better than staying at the Prince of Qi's Mansion in constant fear. It would be best if they sent a carrier pigeon to summon her father back when the time came. With Eastern Heretic Huang Yaoshi protecting her, neither petty scoundrels nor... Song Qingshu would dare act recklessly.
Seeing their reactions, Song Qingshu smiled faintly. "Then it's settled." With the Southern Song's northern campaign imminent, he needed to return to the Jin Dynasty as soon as possible to take charge of the overall situation. Otherwise, if the Southern Song army swept northward without resistance, all the groundwork he had painstakingly laid in the Jin Dynasty would go to waste. Since he was leaving Lin'an, he was not at ease leaving Huang Rong behind either, so he might as well take her with him. Peach Blossom Island was not far from Lin'an anyway. When he returned from the island, he could also pass through Yangzhou and make arrangements there.
"I'm truly troubling you, Brother Song," Guo Jing said
