However, when she thought of Song Qingshu's abilities, the bright and beautiful young woman's mood instantly became better: "Back then, he was able to summon clouds and rain with a flip of his hand in Jin Kingdom. How could this little crisis be difficult for him!" Her entire spirit instantly became better.
Ever since Song Qingshu's mishap, his family and friends were all worried. Most people were pessimistic about whether or not he would be able to get out of danger. They didn't expect that she, a "friend" who wasn't that close to Song Qingshu, guessed closer to the truth.
The bright and beautiful young woman was attracted by the bustle of Linan City and bounced around the stalls on the side of the street. Very quickly, the people nearby noticed this young woman who was like a little fairy. The women revealed envious gazes while the men stared unblinkingly.
The bright and beautiful young woman slightly furrowed her brows. Although she was a bit playful, being the focus of everyone's gazes, how could she have any interest in shopping? She pouted and snorted before turning around to leave.
Because she used her qinggong, the people nearby only felt their eyes blur for a moment before they lost sight of her. The men in the crowd all sighed in unison.
"Hmph, all the stinky men in the world are the same, disgusting." Because of her mother's misfortune a few years ago, the bright and beautiful young woman didn't have a good impression of men. "Forget it, let's go to Louwailou first and wait for Western Poison."
If someone were to observe from a high place, they would discover that the young woman was like a butterfly dancing in a cluster of flowers. Linan City was one of the most prosperous cities in Tianxia City. The sea of people on the street was a bit exaggerated, but it wasn't an exaggeration to say that people were rubbing shoulders. However, when the young woman passed through the crowd, no one was able to touch her body.
When she entered Louwailou, she was thinking of a question: "Should I find a scarf to cover my face?" Back then, her mother suffered misfortune because of her own beauty. Therefore, she was much more mature than normal young women in this aspect at a young age.
"Isn't this Little Sister Zhongjie? It truly is fate that brings us together from thousands of miles away." A teasing voice suddenly came from not far away. Although the tone was a bit strange, the voice was extremely moving.
The beautiful girl was none other than Wanyan Zhongjie of the Jin Kingdom. When the news of Song Qingshu's death spread, people like Ah Jiu, Xia Qingqing, and Dongfang Muxue were not the only ones who were worried. The women of the Jin Kingdom, who were led by Ge Bi, also turned pale. They even had the thought of sending troops to Yangzhou.
Fortunately, Ouyang Feng was calm enough to dissuade the group of crazy women at the critical moment. They also realized that if Song Qingshu was fine, he would expose his deliberately hidden strength in advance. After some discussion, they decided to send Ouyang Feng to Jiangnan to investigate the whereabouts of Song Qingshu. Song Qingshu was in danger because he was poisoned, and Ouyang Feng, nicknamed the Western Poison, was the most suitable candidate.
The women were also prepared to come, but Ge Bi needed to use Wanyan Xue's appearance to keep watch in the palace, Taj-kis had to pretend to be Tang Kuo Bian, Wanyan Ping had to stay in the palace to look after her sister, and Pu Cha and Qiu Cao were not considered 'on the same side'. In the end, Wanyan Zhongjie volunteered to come.
First, Wanyan Zhongjie's martial arts were not bad, and she was also quick-witted. To a certain extent, she could be Ouyang Feng's assistant. Second, Wanyan Zhongjie and her daughter had taken Song Qingshu's Three Corpses Brain Divine Pill. If Song Qingshu died, the two of them would not live either. Therefore, among the people in the world who did not want Song Qingshu to die the most, she was definitely at the top.
After some discussion, the women finally decided to send her to accompany Ouyang Feng to rescue Song Qingshu.
Hearing a somewhat familiar voice, Wanyan Zhongjie looked towards the direction of the voice and saw an extraordinarily handsome young master sitting near the window, gently fanning himself with a folding fan. The fan in his hand had a handle made of white jade, and the hand holding the handle was so white that it was almost transparent. Two wretched-looking old men stood by his side, their eyes shining brightly. Obviously, they were top-notch experts.
Wanyan Zhongjie groaned inwardly. How could it be so coincidental to run into this woman here?
"Miss, you must have mistaken me for someone else." Wanyan Zhongjie cupped her hands and turned to leave. Unexpectedly, a chopstick suddenly stuck into the pillar in front of her, forcing her to stop in her tracks.
The jade-like young master picked up the teapot and began to pour tea. Only when the teapot was full did he chuckle and say, "If you've mistaken me for someone else, how would Miss Zhongjie know that I'm a young lady?"
Wanyan Zhongjie wanted to slap herself on the head, but she also knew that even if she didn't have this flaw, the young master would still use other reasons to stay here. She rolled her eyes and turned around to look at the young master. Smiling, she said, "Elder Sister Zhao, you are a magnanimous person. Don't bother with an insensible little girl like me."
It turned out that this jade-like young master was the Mongolian Princess Shaomin. Recently, she had been tracking down Murong Jingyue's whereabouts in an attempt to remove the Three Corpses Divine Pill from her body. Unfortunately, she didn't find anything in the Jin Kingdom. Later, she also couldn't find Murong Jingyue in another possible location. Just as she was about to go to the last place to search, she coincidentally ran into her elder brother, Wang Baobao.
Hearing Wang Baobao call Song Qingshu "brother-in-law" and praise him, Zhao Min instantly realized that her elder brother had been fooled by Song Qingshu. She felt shy and amused at the same time. Unexpectedly, she didn't get angry and didn't expose the truth. She tacitly agreed to the alliance between the Ruyang Mansion and Song Qingshu.
Who knew that very soon, the news that Song Qingshu had been poisoned in Yangzhou and was being chased by Li Kexiu and the others came. Zhao Min couldn't sit still any longer. She changed her schedule at the last minute and went directly south.
During this time, Song Qingshu had disappeared without a trace. No one knew his whereabouts. Zhao Min thought about it and decided to go to Lin 'an. She sent a message to the Southern Song court as a Mongolian envoy. Previously, the promise to return Sichuan to the Southern Song Dynasty was based on Song Qingshu's identity. Now that Song Qingshu's fate was unknown, the Mongolians saw the Southern Song Dynasty as a unilateral breach of the promise. They threatened not to return Sichuan to force the Southern Song Dynasty to punish the culprit and help find Song Qingshu's whereabouts.
The Southern Song Dynasty was instantly in an uproar. The officials were divided into several factions and attacked each other. However, Zhao Gou was the ruler of a country after all. He knew that if he just compromised with the Mongolians, it would be detrimental to the court's reputation. Moreover, Moqi Ju was the head of the officials. She wouldn't be moved so easily.
Moreover, there was no lack of insightful people in the Southern Song Dynasty. They could tell that the Mongolians' strategic focus was on the western countries. It was unlikely that they would start a war with the Southern Song Dynasty over Sichuan. Moreover, the Southern Song Dynasty wouldn't be willing to give up Li Kexiu's territory.
In the end, under the power struggle of many parties, the Southern Song Dynasty displayed the wisdom of the Han people since ancient times – the tactic of delaying. They said all kinds of nice words to deal with Zhao Min, but in reality, they didn't take any action.
Zhao Min knew their tricks, but she couldn't think of any good ideas. She knew that the Southern Song Dynasty's officials were waiting for the outcome of the battle between Li Kexiu and the Golden Snake Battalion. Once Li Kexiu won, the Southern Song Dynasty would have more bargaining chips. Moreover, even if the Mongolians didn't return Sichuan, the Southern Song Dynasty would still get the Lianhuai and Shandong provinces. It would still be a profit. Once Li Kexiu lost, she would lose her value.
Then, they could use her to exchange for Sichuan from the Mongolians. However, the Southern Song Dynasty could afford to waste time, but Zhao Min couldn't. Firstly, she was worried about Song Qingshu's life. Secondly, she was acting as the Mongolian emissary to the Southern Song Dynasty on her own initiative. How could the Mongolians affect their Western Expedition just because of Song Qingshu?
After a long time, the news would probably spread back to the Emperor's tent. Genghis Khan would definitely send a real emissary and an imperial edict to punish her.
Because the trip didn't go well, Zhao Min was very upset these two days. Today, she specially came out from the embassy to Louwailou to relax. She didn't expect to meet Wanyan Zhongjie.
Usually, it was Zhao Min who played others in the palm of her hand. Who knew that she would fall into the hands of Wanyan Zhongjie because of a moment of carelessness in the Jin Kingdom. Thinking of the dark days in the dungeon, Zhao Min's teeth itched with hatred. Although it was Song Qingshu who imprisoned her, she didn't know why she was angry at Wanyan Zhongjie, that little girl.
Hearing the other admit defeat, Zhao Min was slightly happy, but at the same time, she became vigilant. Last time, she was deceived by her innocent and harmless appearance. Immediately, she said lightly, "Your Excellency is magnanimous? Sorry, I'm just a woman. Women are always narrow-minded. Mr. Lu, Mr. He, scratch her face. "
The diners in the restaurant were watching a good show, so they happily watched from the sidelines. But when they heard Zhao Min's words, they all felt a chill in their hearts.
This Young Master White Jade was too ruthless. How could he scratch such a beautiful little girl's face just like that?
He Biweng's body flashed and he opened his large hand to grab Wanyan Zhongjie. Lu Zhangke didn't move immediately. Instead, he smiled and said, "Princess, it would be a pity to scratch such a beautiful face. Why don't you let me handle her?"
Zhao Min knew that Lu Zhangke was a lecher by nature, so she couldn't help but feel disgusted. She was about to scold him when she suddenly remembered how Wanyan Zhongjie wandered around Song Qingshu in the Jin Kingdom. She immediately changed her mind and said, "All right, as long as you can catch her."
"All right!" Lu Zhangke was overjoyed. His fighting spirit soared as he flew toward the center of the battle.
Wanyan Zhongjie's martial art skill was not bad, but that was only among the younger generation. How could he be a match for the Elders of the Wulin world like the Xuanming Elders?
Fortunately, Lu Zhangke's lecherous behavior delayed him for a moment and he didn't attack together with He Biweng, giving Wanyan Zhongjie a chance to escape.
The reason why the Xuanming Elders shook Jianghu was largely because when they joined forces, their power would increase exponentially. Even a top-notch master like Zhang Wuji would find it difficult to deal with them. But if the two of them were separated, they would still be considered top-notch masters in Jianghu, but their power would be far inferior when they joined forces.
He Biweng's cultivation base alone wasn't high enough to give Wanyan Zhongjie a crushing advantage. Wanyan Zhongjie found an opening, and his figure suddenly flashed, fleeing toward the door with a speed twice as fast as what he showed just now.
Over the past year, He Biweng had lost face in front of Zhao Min many times. He Biweng thought that in the past he had met a freak like Song QingShu, that was one thing, but if this time he could not even catch a little girl, how could he raise his head in front of Junzhu in the future? Thereupon with a loud shout he dashed toward the door.
Feng Ziying, Xue Pan, and the others had too many subordinates. Along the way, Song Qingshu didn't find an opportunity to slip away. Unknowingly, he had arrived at the door of Lou Wailou.
