Song Qingshu snickered inwardly. Compared to his sister, Zhao Min, Wang Baobao was much more violent and direct.
"Young Lord, you mustn't do that." As expected, a Mongolian official began to panic. "Now the Great Khan is focusing on the western countries. The Central Plain is negotiating peace with the Southern Song. If we kill the Southern Song envoy now, I'm afraid it will ruin the Great Khan's plan. If the Great Khan blames us, even Prince Ruyang can't bear the consequences."
Song Qingshu nodded secretly. It seemed that the Mongolians had indeed shifted their focus to the west. He had to make good use of this time. Otherwise, when the Mongolians conquered the west and gathered the resources of the world to conquer the Central Plain, it would be too late to stop them.
Wang Baobao snorted. "I'm not that stupid. At worst, I'll just control the Southern Song envoy and not kill them. In that case, I'll see how Li Kexiu can negotiate peace with the Southern Song. "
Another Mongolian official chimed in. "Young Lord, that's a brilliant plan. Li Kexiu has been feigning civility with us, hasn't he? Let's take control of the Southern Song Dynasty's envoy and cut off his other options."
Wang Baobao was very satisfied with his subordinate's response. He turned to the other side and asked, "Have you found out where the Southern Song envoy is staying?"
"Originally, the Southern Song Dynasty's diplomatic mission was well-hidden. But today, when the imperial envoy of the Jin Kingdom broke into the Jade Pure Temple, Li Kexiu, who had been hiding in the dark, immediately came out to save them. It was very suspicious. I sent someone to investigate and confirmed that the Southern Song Dynasty's diplomatic mission was indeed staying in the Jade Pure Temple. Moreover, the envoy this time was Han Xingzhou, a political advisor of the Southern Song Dynasty."
"What a big fish." At the same time, Wang Baobao sneered, "And the Minister and Marshal of the Jin Kingdom actually came here. When I finish dealing with the affairs in the Southern Song Dynasty, I'll kill him and make the Jin court more chaotic."
Song Qingshu secretly wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. He was really caught in the crossfire.
"But Han Xingzhou has many guards around him, and the Taoist priest of the Jade Pure Temple seems to be with them. As one of the Five Temples of WuTang, the Jade Pure Temple is very powerful. I'm afraid it won't be so easy." Someone said worriedly.
"How many experts can Han Chuan Zhou bring with him in secret? Not to mention that the Clear Jade Monastery is one of the Five Temples of Wudang, even the Wudang Sect was once this Prince's prisoner. " Wang Baobao blushed as soon as he finished speaking. After all, this was all thanks to his sister, Zhao Min. "Father attaches great importance to this matter. The Ruyang Mansion has sent out all the experts. How could they not deal with a mere Han Caizhou?"
"If we really want to attack, a trifling Han Xingzhou is naturally nothing. However, doing so will cause too much of a commotion. If the entire Yangzhou City finds out, I'm afraid it will go against our original intentions." Someone pointed out the crux of the matter.
Wang Baobao nodded slightly. "That's right. We can't openly clash with Song at this critical juncture. The entire matter must be completed quietly in an extremely short period of time. Only then will it be convenient for This King to carry out the subsequent plans. Mr. Crane, did you bring enough Tendon Weakening Powder this time? "
He Biweng patted his waist pouch and laughed mischievously. "Don't worry, Young Prince. Even ten Clear Jade Monastery can be taken down."
Hearing that they were planning to use such a despicable poison, Cheng Yaojia, who was worried about her husband's safety, could not help but tremble. She accidentally stepped on the tiles on the side. Song Qingshu could not help but curse inwardly.
"Who is it?" Priest Baisang suddenly raised his head. Like a cannonball, he rushed toward the roof. Before he arrived, the cold wind from his palm caused Cheng Yaojia to shiver all over.
Song Qingshu hastily grabbed Cheng Yaojia's waist and forcibly moved to the side about ten feet. He was worried that the Mongolians would recognize his current identity. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he hastily took out Cheng Yaojia's brocade veil and covered his face.
Just as he covered his face, an extremely masculine finger force came from behind him. Song Qingshu did not want to reveal his martial arts, so he raised his hand and used the Solitary Yang Finger he had learned not long ago to meet the force.
The two fingers collided and their bodies shook at the same time. The other side violently retreated, smashed the roof, and fell into the room.
Because Song Qingshu was carrying a person in his arms, he was afraid that he would hurt her and was unable to completely disperse the force. He was also forced to fall into the courtyard.
As soon as he fell, Wang Baobao's martial arts experts rushed out and surrounded the two of them.
Seeing that Song Qingshu was trapped because of her, Cheng Yaojia said apologetically, "I am sorry. I have implicated you."
Song Qingshu smiled and said, "It was I who decided to bring you here. You are not to be blamed."
Miss Cheng's heart was moved. She knew that Mongolia and the Jin Kingdom were mortal enemies. With his status, if he fell into the hands of the Mongolians, he would have no chance of survival. But even so, he didn't blame her. In comparison, her husband's actions were too chilling.
She was moved and sad at the same time. Cheng Yaojia bit her lips and struggled out of his arms. She stood in front of him and said, "I will help you block them. Your qinggong is good. Quickly take advantage of the chaos to escape."
Seeing that she was using the Quanzhen Sect's Three Flowers Gathering One's Prominence Palm Technique, it was obvious that she was going to risk her life to fight for a chance of survival. Song Qingshu could not help but be moved. He pulled her back and said, "Don't mess around. Believe me, I will protect you."
Cheng Yaojia originally wanted to say something, but when she saw his sincere eyes, she was a bit dazed and subconsciously nodded her head.
"Who are you? How dare you eavesdrop on our conversation!" Wang Baobao came out of the room. His complexion was very unsightly. He did not know how long this person had stayed on the roof. If the secret was leaked, it would be terrible.
Seeing the glint in his eyes, Song Qingshu knew that he had a murderous intent. He could not help but smile and pointed to the embroidered flower on the handkerchief. "I am Jianghu's people call me the Embroidery Bandit. When I saw that the young lady in your mansion was so beautiful, I could not help but feel my hands itch. I did not expect that you would discover me."
Although she knew that he was deliberately trying to mislead them, hearing him call her "young lady" in such a frivolous tone, an indescribable feeling gradually emerged in Cheng Yaojia's heart.
"Who brought this woman here?" Wang Baobao looked at Cheng Yaojia and felt that she was very unfamiliar. He could not help but look at his subordinates with an unfriendly expression. This operation was a top secret. Even he did not bring his concubines with him. Who had the guts to bring a woman back?
Lu Zhangke's complexion changed greatly. He hastily stepped forward and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, this subordinate … this subordinate ran into her outside a moment ago. I could not help but … I brought her back."
"Scoundrel!" Wang Baobao flew into a rage. However, when he remembered that he still needed the help of his master and disciple, he had no choice but to restrain himself. "Who can tell me who this Embroidery Bandit is?"
The group of people looked at each other in dismay. Ah Da frowned and replied, "Reporting to Young Prince, there does not seem to be such a person in Jianghu. However, from his nickname, he should be a lowly flower thief." Before he joined the Ruyang Palace, he was the head of the Beggar Sect's Four Great Elders. He was known as the Eight-armed Divine Sword Fang Dongbai, so he was very familiar with the people of Jianghu.
"He is from the Duan family of Dali! Just now, he used the Solitary Yang Finger! "At this time, a man who looked like a monk ran out, his face covered in dirt. He pointed at Song Qingshu and shouted.
Song Qingshu recognized him as the man who had just used the Solitary Yang Finger on him. It turned out to be the leader of the Jingang School. No wonder he was able to use such a powerful finger force.
"Could it be the Duan Zhengchun, the Zhennan Prince of Dali?" Ah Da said hesitantly. The experts of the Duan family of Dali usually practiced Buddhism. They were either eminent monks or stood aloof from worldly affairs. Duan Zhengchun was the only one who had the hobby of picking flowers.
"Bah! Who does Duan Zhengchun think he is? How could he have such a strong finger force? I'm afraid he is the South Emperor, one of the Five Uniques of the Central Plains." The leader of the Jingang School had just used the Solitary Yang Finger on him, and his finger was still aching. Naturally, he did not believe that the man before him was a playboy.
"This …" Ah Da smiled bitterly. "The South Emperor has been a monk for many years, and her Buddhist name is Reverend Yideng. She would never do something like this. Moreover, although this man's face is covered, he is obviously in the prime of his life. He is definitely not Reverend Yideng."
Song Qingshu listened to them talking and guessing his identity more and more ridiculous. He was happy to watch them make a fool of themselves. After all, the more ridiculous their guesses were, the better it was for him.
"Alright!" Wang Baobao felt a headache coming on. "No matter who he is, let's take him down first."
"Yes, sir!" Lu Zhangke wanted to make up for his mistake, so he was the first to rush forward.
Song Qingshu still had the leisure to turn his head around and say to Miss Cheng, who was behind him, "Madame, this old man offended you just now. Let me teach him a lesson on your behalf."
Lu Zhangke was already in a bad mood. The beautiful young woman he was about to kiss was snatched away, and he was also taught a lesson by the Young Prince. When he heard Song Qingshu's words, he was so angry that his lungs almost exploded. "You are courting death!" he shouted. Immediately he exerted all his internal energy and sent a palm strike toward Song Qingshu's chest.
Even from a distance, Miss Cheng could feel a cold air pressing toward her. She looked over in shock and saw that there was a faint flow of cold ice on Lu Zhangke's palm. She could not help but cry out in alarm, "Watch out!"
Song Qingshu turned his head around and smiled at her. Using his Solitary Yang Finger, he thrust it toward Lu Zhangke's palm. These last few years his martial art skill had advanced by leaps and bounds. Nowadays he was able to talk and laugh with Zhang Sanfeng, Wang Chongyang, and the others. Although Lu Zhangke's martial art skill was high, there was still a gap between them.
Lu Zhangke felt his palm go numb, and then the acupoints on his entire arm were sealed in an instant. He was indescribably shocked and hastily retreated backward, but his face had already suffered two solid slaps.
Song Qingshu could not help but sigh in admiration. The Solitary Yang Finger was indeed miraculous. In addition to his current world-shaking internal energy, his cultivation base, and his vision, the Solitary Yang Finger was simply a great weapon to break the internal energy of a martial art master. Incidentally, it also had the effect of sealing acupoints. Among the Duan family of Dali, other than Reverend Yideng, perhaps no one else could train the Solitary Yang Finger to this level.
"Madame, have you vented the anger in your heart?" Song Qingshu pointed at the two red palm marks on Lu Zhangke's face and looked at Miss Cheng. Actually, just now he had the opportunity to take Lu Zhangke's life, but he remembered that although these two old men were hateful, they had always been Zhao Min's loyal henchmen. As the saying goes, when beating a dog, one must look at its master. If he really killed Lu Zhangke, the next time he met Zhao Min, he was afraid he would not be able to explain himself.
