Huo Qingtong did not expect to be given the cold shoulder at the door. In her opinion, even if Song Qingshu did not agree to the alliance, he would still have to put up a front. Who knew that he would directly close the door?
If she had no other restraints, she would have turned around and left in such a situation. However, she had the fate and future of her people on her shoulders. This trip to the Central Plains was to unite with some potential allies. It was not a big deal even if she suffered a little.
Thinking of this, Huo Qingtong calmed down a lot. After all, she was a leader and could distinguish the stakes. She was not comparable to those spoiled young ladies.
Since the other party asked her to wait, she would stand outside the door and wait. Maybe he would feel apologetic when he came out later. Then, she would be able to take the initiative in the negotiation.
However, her face suddenly turned red because she heard a faint sound coming from the room. Although the sound was deliberately suppressed, she was standing at the door and was a martial arts practitioner. How could she not hear it?
Although Huo Qingtong was a virgin who had yet to experience the world, she was the leader of a region. Of course, she was not like those young ladies who did not leave the house and knew nothing about these things. She understood what the sound was after hearing it for a while.
This time, she was embarrassed. As a young lady, she was too embarrassed to continue staying here. However, if she left immediately, it would seem that she was not sincere enough …
While she was embarrassed, Li Qinglu in the room was even more embarrassed. Her pretty face was already extremely red. "Someone is looking for you outside?"
Song Qingshu answered directly, "Ignore her."
Li Qinglu's face was so red that water was about to drip out. "What if she has something important to say?"
Song Qingshu smiled and said, "No matter how important it is, can it be more important than our matter?"
Li Qinglu was so embarrassed that she directly turned under the blanket. "How am I going to face others later?"
"It is human nature to have sex. What is there to be ashamed about?" Song Qingshu moved closer to her ear and said, "Cooperate with us and finish quickly. I can go out and chase her away later."
Li Qinglu moaned, and her whole body went limp …
After some time, when Song Qingshu came out of the house, he found Huo Qingtong standing in the courtyard, seemingly admiring the moonlight. "Miss Huo is in a good mood."
Huo Qingtong turned around. Under the moonlight, her fair skin was tinged with a faint blush. "When it comes to elegance, how can I compare to Prince Song?" There was a hint of sarcasm in her voice. After all, no matter who it was, they would not be in a good mood after being left outside for so long, let alone a girl like her who had been forced to listen to so many things that would make her blush.
"You and I are both in a good mood tonight. It seems that we are bosom friends." Song Qingshu was thick-skinned enough and said in a deadpan manner.
"Who has that kind of interest with you!" Huo Qingtong muttered in a low voice. She really wanted to scold him, but in the end, her rationality prevailed, and she dispelled this tempting thought. "Since we are bosom friends, what do you think of my suggestion during the day?"
"What suggestion?" Song Qingshu pretended not to know.
Huo Qingtong's breathing instantly became rapid. She had been waiting outside for so long and had long been suppressing a bellyful of anger. She could not help but raise her voice. "Prince Song, I originally left with Leader Chen and the others, but I still sneaked back to discuss it with you. Even if you deliberately left me outside, I still waited patiently. In the end, you are saying this now. Isn't it too ungentlemanly?"
Song Qingshu smiled slightly. "I am not a gentleman to begin with."
Huo Qingtong bit her lip and turned to leave. Seeing that the time was right, Song Qingshu said, "Miss Huo, you came to find me in the middle of the night. Zhang Jiaozhu may not like it."
Huo Qingtong stopped when she heard him 'asking' her to stay. "He is him, and I am me. Not to mention that we're not married yet. Even if we were married, he wouldn't be able to control what I want to do."
Song Qingshu's eyebrows twitched. He thought to himself that it was no wonder she could command thousands of troops. Her personality was independent and strong enough. "If you look for someone else, he may not care. But if you look for me, he may not be able to stand it."
Huo Qingtong was stunned for a moment before she realized it. Zhou Zhiruo and Zhang Wuji from the Emei Sect had almost married, but now they had become Lady Song. It was rumored that the relationship between Mongolia's Zhao Min and Song Qingshu was unclear. The hatred of killing his father and stealing his wife, it seemed that the relationship between the two of them was not good. "I have also heard about the grudge between the two of you. However, when it comes to military affairs, Zhang Jiaozhu is not the kind of person who will abandon official duties for personal reasons."
"Oh, it seems that you have a good impression of Zhang Wuji?" Song Qingshu said with a smile.
"Of course, he is well-versed in both the pen and the sword, and he is my future husband. How can I not have a good impression of him?" Huo Qingtong still had some resentment in her heart. She could not help but add, "At least my impression of him is much better than that of Prince Song."
Song Qingshu did not feel offended at all. "Of course. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder."
Huo Qingtong was not willing to talk about this with him anymore. She directly returned to the topic at hand. "Prince Song is a smart man. He should know that once the Mongolians complete their westward expedition, they will have to deal with the countries in the Central Plains. At that time, it will be difficult for you to stay out of it. You should understand the principle that the lips are cold and the teeth are cold."
Song Qingshu smiled. "Miss Huo should have heard about the matter between me and the Mongolian princess. With this layer of relationship, even if the Mongolians conquer the world, I can still be the son-in-law. What's wrong with that?"
Huo Qingtong looked at him deeply. "Young Master, why do you have to pretend to be unambitious? Although you are negotiating peace with the Mongolians now, Zhang Jiaozhu has already told me everything, including the matter of you forming an alliance to deal with the Mongolians."
Hearing this, Song Qingshu finally put away his frivolous smile. Back then on the Blackwood Cliff, Song Qingshu actually had the chance to spare the life of Zhang Wuji, or Venerated Ming. However, considering that he still needed him to lead the Ming Dynasty to delay the Mongolians, he let him live.
"I quite admire Zhang Jiaozhu for being able to let go of his personal grudges and still form an alliance with you, young master." Huo Qingtong's eyes shone brightly as she spoke.
Song Qingshu looked at her. "It seems that Miss Huo is quite fond of this fiancé of yours."
Huo Qingtong blushed. "Young Master, you don't have to worry about our relationship. This time, I came here hoping to get your help to persuade the countries in the Central Plains to work together to fight against the Mongolians. This way, everyone will have a way out."
Song Qingshu sneered. "The countries in the Central Plains have been fighting each other for years. You want to work together? Miss Huo, why would you say such childish words? "
