Song Qingshu held Cheng Yaojia in his arms. The two of them hid in a dense tree in the Jade Pure Temple and could see what was happening in the courtyard.
The entire Jade Pure Temple was filled with foreign monks. The Taoist priests of the Jade Pure Temple were gathered together to watch over them. Obviously, they had lost their ability to resist.
Wang Baobao stood proudly in the courtyard, surrounded by the masters of the Ruyang Palace.
Han Chuan Zhou and the others were either injured or dead. The only one who still had the strength to resist was Linghu Chong, who was disguised as Wu Tiande. One man and one sword, he did not fall into a disadvantageous position under the joint attack of the Xuanming Elders. However, he was also entangled by the two elders and could not escape.
Song Qingshu thought to himself, "Linghu Chong's swordsmanship is extremely high. If he fought against any one of the Xuanming Elders, I'm afraid he would have already won. But when the Xuanming Elders work together, both their attack and defense are greatly improved. Even Zhang Wuji found it difficult to deal with them, let alone the current Linghu Chong." To be able to fight to a draw was already thanks to the magic of the Nine Strategies Beyond the Swords and the fear of the Xuanming Elders. Otherwise, Linghu Chong would have long been restrained by the Xuanming Divine Palm.
"Your companions have already surrendered. Why are you still stubbornly resisting? We Mongols value talents the most. As long as you put down your weapons and join us, I guarantee that you will be treated better than in the Southern Song. "Seeing Linghu Chong's amazing swordsmanship, Wang Baobao suddenly became greedy.
Linghu Chong snorted coldly, "Cut the crap!" He had always been chivalrous and righteous. How could he do such a thing?
Han Chuan Zhou could not help but angrily say, "Wang Baobao, the Song and the Mongols are negotiating for peace. What you are doing is starting a war without authorization!"
Wang Baobao said indifferently, "So what if I start a war without authorization? In any case, the people of the Southern Song are very weak. Many people in the Mongols do not approve of the Khan negotiating with you. It would be better if we really fight."
In fact, he knew that this time the Khan was determined to concentrate his forces to deal with the Western countries and would not restart the war with the Southern Song at this critical moment. But how could he be so stupid as to tell them all this? As a famous Mongolian general, how could he not know how to bluff?
Sure enough, Han Xingzhou was intimidated by him. His face changed from clear to gloomy, and for a moment he was speechless. In fact, he was confused because he had been planning for the northern expedition against the Jin Kingdom all these years. He was about to fulfill his wish. If he were to start a war with the Mongols, the northern expedition would be for naught.
Seeing that the Xuanming Elders couldn't take down Linghu Chong, Wang Baobao hurriedly said to Daoist Bai Shan and the Guardian Deity Sect Master, "We need to settle everything as soon as possible. Otherwise, we'll be in trouble if others are alarmed. Therefore, I hope the two of you can take down this person."
Originally, Daoist Hundred Damages and the Vajra Sect Master would never bully a junior with numbers. However, they had suffered a great loss at the hands of the Embroidery Bandit, and they were too embarrassed to put on airs. Fortunately, they were surrounded by people from the Prince's Mansion. Presumably, no one would leak what happened today.
The two of them glanced at each other and simultaneously attacked Linghu Chong. Although Linghu Chong's swordsmanship was high, how could he defeat so many experts? After a few moves, his swordsmanship became messy.
The Guardian Deity Sect Master took advantage of an opening and directly jumped into his arms. Linghu Chong was shocked and subconsciously counterattacked with the Nine Strategies Beyond the Swords. Unexpectedly, the tip of his sword stabbed into the Guardian Deity Sect Master's body as if he had stabbed into a diamond rock. The long sword in his hand was forced to bend at an exaggerated angle.
Taking advantage of Linghu Chong's absent-minded moment, the Guardian Deity Sect Master pointed a finger at the major acupoint on his chest. Linghu Chong spat out a mouthful of blood and was then hit by Daoist Bai Shan's palm. If he didn't have the protection of the Absorbing Stars Great Technique, these two blows would have been enough to end his life.
Fortunately, Wang Baobao cherished his talent and ordered his men to keep him alive in advance, so the Xuanming Elders didn't continue to stab him.
As the last person was captured, the Southern Song's side was no longer able to resist and were all tied up by Wang Baobao's men.
Song Qingshu frowned. Although Wang Baobao had many masters under his command, the Southern Song's side was not to be trifled with. They also had the help of the Taoists from the Jade Pure Temple. They had the advantage of numbers and location. How could they be subdued so quickly?
Sniffing, Song Qingshu suddenly smelled a strange smell. He suddenly realized that it was the Ten Fragrant Tendon Weakening Powder. He didn't know what method they had used to make its medicinal properties spread in the air. As a result, many people from the Jade Pure Temple lost their ability to resist in their sleep, which led to the one-sided situation of the battle.
Miss Cheng had been holding her clothes tightly and watching the situation below. Finally, she found that her husband looked dispirited and was being held down by a Mongolian soldier. She cried out in alarm in her heart and moved.
With the previous example in He Garden, Song Qingshu had long been paying attention to her movements. Seeing that she wanted to rush in, he hurriedly pulled her back.
"Let me go, I want to save Lu Lang." Fortunately, there was a lot of noise in the distance and Miss Cheng's soft voice did not alarm the people from the Ruyang Palace.
Song Qingshu shouted, "Madam, calm down. What's the difference between you going down now and dying?"
"But I can't just stand by and watch Lu Lang suffer." Miss Cheng also knew that with her martial arts, she was afraid that any of the foreign monks below could defeat her. But even so, she still had the courage to live and die with her husband.
"Not just stand by and watch, but take your time to think." Song Qingshu was afraid that she would recklessly jump down, so he had to hold her tightly. "Right now, the enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered. Madam, come back with me to the Yamen. We will discuss how to rescue them."
"But …"
Cheng Yaojia wanted to say something, but Song Qingshu immediately interrupted her. "There are no buts. Don't worry. You heard it from the other side. Wang Baobao will not kill them. Aside from suffering a little, your husband's life will not be in danger for a while."
Hearing his words, Miss Cheng gradually calmed down. She knew that the other party's words made sense, so she gradually gave up struggling.
Seeing that she had calmed down, Song Qingshu said, "Then let's go first." Then he quietly left the Pure Jade Monastery with her in his arms.
On the way back to the Dao Tai Yamen, Song QingShu kept comforting Miss Cheng. Unfortunately, she seemed to be absent-minded. No one knew what she was thinking. Song QingShu had no choice but to start thinking about how to deal with the current situation.
In fact, in a sense, Wang Baobao had helped him today. Originally, Li Kexiu was about to reach an agreement with Southern Song. Song Qingshu was worried about how to stop it. In the end, Wang Baobao made such a move today, so Li Kexiu naturally could not hook up with Southern Song.
In addition, Jianghuai was not connected to Mongolia. Li Kexiu's innate disadvantage made it impossible for her to easily side with Mongolia. This gave Song Qingshu enough time to arrange his own plan.
After returning to the Yamen, Song QingShu said to Cheng Yaojia, "Madame, you have suffered too much tonight. Go back to your room and have a good rest. I will help you think of a way to save your honorable husband."
Miss Cheng nodded, but she had no intention of leaving. Instead, she followed behind him and entered his room.
"Madam, what are you doing?" Song Qingshu was about to ask, but he was shocked by what happened next. He saw Miss Cheng silently take off her outer clothes, revealing her sparkling jade-like skin.

As the saying goes, when the left eyelid twitches, the peach blossoms bloom. When the right eyelid twitches, the chrysanthemum blossoms.
I was wondering why my right eyelid kept twitching today. When I looked at the monthly votes ranking, I immediately understood. In the morning, I was ranked 20th, but the people behind me broke my chrysanthemum seven times in a row. Now I have fallen to 27th place.
After asking around, I found out that from today until noon on the 23rd, the rewards during this period of time were double the monthly votes. What a dog!
I can't keep getting broken. I have to break the chrysanthemum of the people in front of me.
Begging for monthly votes! Begging for chrysanthemum!!!
