At the same time, Song Qingshu had another matter to worry about. The Jin Kingdom was still at war with the Song Kingdom. Now that the Jin Kingdom had defeated the Song Kingdom's main force, how should they control the situation? Although he had left Taj-kis behind, they were so far apart that she might not understand his thoughts. If the war between the Jin Kingdom and the Song Kingdom got out of hand, it would be over.
Especially with Taj-kis's identity. It was fine if she was in the capital, but now that she was in the army camp, it was difficult for a woman to move around freely.
Furthermore, to rescue Guo Jing, who had gone through so much trouble to capture, under such circumstances, Fu San Zhongyi's lungs would probably explode with rage. He would definitely send people to investigate this matter thoroughly. If no one stopped him, it wouldn't be long before the pursuers arrived at this town.
All of this required Song Qingshu to return to the frontlines. But now that Guo Jing was in danger, he could not leave!
While Song Qingshu was worrying about this, in the largest inn in the town, a burly man hurried in and went to the best room upstairs. "Reporting to the Princess, I have found the whereabouts of the people who bought the medicine."
Soon, the door was opened from the inside and a tall woman walked out. Traces of age could be seen between her brows, but she had a heroic spirit and a unique temperament.
"I told you not to call me Princess in the Jin Kingdom." The woman glared at him and asked, "Where are they now?"
This heroic woman was the Mongolian Princess, Hua Zheng. Because of Guo Jing's incident, she had been depressed and refused to marry for the rest of her life. Genghis Khan could not stand it and sent her to travel around. Of course, now that the world was divided and in chaos, he was worried about his daughter's safety. He was even more worried that she would be captured by the enemy and used as a hostage. Thus, he sent a team of experts to protect her.
Not long ago, she happened to be in the vicinity and happened to hear that Guo Jing had participated in the Northern Expedition. Remembering their old friendship, she sent her subordinates to keep an eye on him. Unexpectedly, she found out that he had been abandoned by his allies and had fallen into a desperate situation. In the end, he was captured by the Jin and his fate was unknown.
Although their engagement had long been annulled, Hua Zheng could not let it go. When she heard that her lover was in a desperate situation, she could no longer contain her concern and hurried over.
Just as he was planning how to save Guo Jing, he suddenly found out that Guo Jing had been rescued by a mysterious person, and his whereabouts were currently unknown.
She was born in the royal family and often followed Genghis Khan on expeditions, so her vision was extraordinary. She quickly guessed that the mysterious man would most likely escape to the north with Guo Jing, so she sent people to the surrounding towns to investigate the various pharmacies to see if anyone had recently bought medicine to treat injuries. She wanted to use this opportunity to find Guo Jing's whereabouts.
"What a coincidence. They are in this town, in a house in the east of the city. I didn't want to alert them, so I didn't go in to investigate," the subordinate replied.
Huazheng nodded, "You're right not to go in. You should know that the mysterious man was able to save Guo Jing from thousands of soldiers, so his martial arts must be top-notch. You will definitely be discovered if you go in. Pass down my order. Send people to keep an eye on the mansion, but don't go near it to avoid being discovered. "
"Are we just going to watch?" the subordinate asked, puzzled.
Huazheng said, "We still don't know if the mysterious man is a friend or a foe. Let's wait and see." At the same time, she secretly thought that since the mysterious man had sent people to buy medicine to treat Guo Jing's injury, Guo Jing wouldn't be in danger in a short time.
Back to the secret stronghold of the Golden Snake Camp in the east of the city. Song Qingshu looked at the spy in front of him, "You said that someone is following you?"
"Yes, when we were buying medicine, there were several unfamiliar faces nearby. Although we're not sure if they are following us, I feel that their behavior is suspicious," the spy replied.
Song Qingshu nodded, "Yes, it's better to be careful. Have you found any information about them?"
The spy shook his head, "We carefully looked around, but we couldn't find any trace of them nearby. Maybe we're overthinking."
Song Qingshu said in a low voice, "We have to be on guard at this critical moment. You should send more guards."
The spy said awkwardly, "We don't have enough people here. If they suddenly attack, I'm afraid it will be difficult to protect Hero Guo."
Song Qingshu frowned, "I'll send more people here as soon as possible. In the meantime, you take good care of Hero Guo. When his injury stabilizes, transfer him to the Golden Snake Camp. I need to leave for a while."
He had just heard that the Jin Kingdom's soldiers had appeared in the nearby town. He had to go back and interfere with their line of sight. Otherwise, they would soon find Guo Jing's whereabouts. After all, buying medicine was difficult to hide from people with discerning eyes.
"Okay, we'll be careful!" The man saluted.
Song QingShu nodded and checked on Guo Jing's injuries once more. With such serious injuries, he could only recuperate properly and needed someone to take good care of him. Perhaps it would take a long time for him to fully recover. He had done what he could, and there was nothing he could do to help Guo Jing even if he stayed here.
There was no time to lose. He put on the mask and decided to set off immediately to avoid any undue delays.
Meanwhile, the sentries in the distance noticed that Song Qingshu went out and immediately informed Huazheng. Huazheng was overjoyed, "Are you sure that the mysterious man has left?"
"Yes, the brothers at the city gate saw the mysterious man leave with their own eyes." As the Mongolian princess, Huazheng was now Meng Jin's mortal enemy. Now that they were deep in the Jin territory, the entourage naturally had to make sure that nothing would go wrong. Therefore, they arranged for spies to be stationed at the city gate. Once they found any movement from the Jin, they could immediately inform Huazheng to move.
"Okay, let's go now!" Huazheng was anxious when she thought that Guo Jing's condition was unknown.
Meanwhile, Song Qingshu suddenly stopped after rushing out of the city for a while. He had an uneasy feeling in his heart, and the words of the spy who found someone following them kept ringing in his mind.
"Damn, I won't repeat the mistake of the Dragon Gate Escort Agency, will I?" Song Qingshu remembered that Yin SuSu had also entrusted the Dragon Gate Escort Agency to bring the seriously injured Yu DaiYan back to Wudang Sect. Unfortunately, all the meridians in his body were crushed by the Mighty King Kong Finger, which led to the tragic ending of Zhang CuiShan's suicide after he found out the truth many years later.
If anything happened to Guo Jing, Huang Rong would probably vent her anger on him and never forgive him for the rest of her life.
"It's better to be safe than sorry. When he went back, he couldn't get rid of the uneasy feeling in his heart, so he decided to go back and have a look."
When he returned to the secret stronghold, he found the spies of the Golden Snake Camp lying on the ground. He was shocked and hurried over to check, only to find that they were not dead, but their acupoints had been sealed.
"Something really happened." Song Qingshu's heart sank. He unsealed their acupoints and asked hurriedly, "What happened?"
"Not long after you left, a group of mysterious people broke in. They were all highly skilled in martial arts. We were no match for them. Hero Guo was taken away by them." The spy looked ashamed. After all, he was killed in his own stronghold and failed his lord's trust. It was really embarrassing.
"Why weren't you injured?" Song Qingshu asked suspiciously.
The spy was startled and answered subconsciously, "That group of people seemed to deliberately avoid hitting the vital parts. They didn't mean to hurt anyone. By the way, the leader of that group seemed to be a woman. She was a little tall and didn't look like a Han woman from the Central Plains. She behaved like people from the grassland."
