Song Qingshu nodded. "Although it's a bit stupid, people with ideals are often admirable."
Huo Qingtong felt a little embarrassed after being praised by him. "Of course, I also understand that it's not realistic to ask all the countries in the Central Plains to join forces to deal with Mongolia. After all, the Southern Song Dynasty doesn't have a border with Mongolia now. Liao is stuck between the gaps of the other countries and can only barely protect itself. There's also a small country at the border like Dali. It's too much to ask them to deal with Mongolia."
Song Qingshu couldn't help but laugh. "No wonder you didn't go to Dali's Crown Prince Duan and came to me instead."
Huo Qingtong smiled shyly. "I came to the Central Plains this time to shoulder the rise and fall of the tribe. Naturally, I cannot waste my energy on some unworthy people. However, Crown Prince Duan is honest and kind. It's not bad to be a friend."
Listening to her talk, Song Qingshu sighed with mixed emotions in his mind. This was the gap between them. In the original novel, Murong Fu did not like Duan Yu because of Wang Yuyan. But when he found out Duan Yu's identity as the Crown Prince of Great Li, he even planned to use Wang Yuyan to set up a honey trap and borrow the army from Great Li to recover Great Yan...
With Dali's weak combat power, the entire country's top leaders became monks and worshipped Buddha at the slightest provocation. No one knew how Murong Fu's brain worked. Just look at Huo Qingtong. Didn't he see all kinds of interests clearly?
At this moment, Huo Qingtong continued, "In my opinion, the only ones who have the ability to deal with the Mongols are the Jin Kingdom and the Manchurian Qing Dynasty. The Manchurian Qing Dynasty's War of the Three Kingdoms is coming to an end, and they will soon be free to deal with it. The Jin Kingdom will also negotiate peace with the Southern Song Dynasty. When the two countries join forces, the Mongols will definitely have to withdraw their troops to save themselves. At that time, our Hui Tribe, Zhang Jiaozhu's Ming Dynasty, and the various countries in the Western Region will all respond. In addition, the Mongol Khan Temujin is already old.
Song Qingshu had to admire her analysis. One had to know that the powerful Mongolian Empire in history had finally collapsed because of an internal power struggle. He did not expect that Huo Qingtong, who was involved in the situation, could actually be so sensitive to this point. She could really be called a female Zhuge. Thinking that she was also an excellent battlefield commander, he could not help but cherish her talent.
If he could recruit her, she would be more than enough to be the commander-in-chief of a frontline army in the future. Unfortunately, she was Zhang Wuji's fiancée and was destined to not be in the same camp.
Song Qingshu sighed inwardly before he said, "In that case, Miss Huo should be persuading the higher-ups of the Jin Kingdom and Manchuria. Why are you looking for me?"
He stared into the man's eyes as he asked. He was worried that the news that he was controlling the Jin Kingdom and the Qing Kingdom would leak out.
Huo Qingtong replied, "If you want the Jin Kingdom and the Qing Kingdom to focus on dealing with the Mongols, then your Golden Snake Camp and the Southern Song Dynasty cannot attack them from behind. Otherwise, it will be a situation where the enemies are happy and the friends are hurt."
Song Qingshu replied, "I can make the decision for the Golden Snake Camp, but how can I influence the Southern Song Dynasty?"
Huo Qingtong smiled slightly. "Why are you so modest? You have already been conferred the title of Prince of Qi by the Southern Song Dynasty. At the same time, you will marry two Southern Song Dynasty princesses. This can be said to be unprecedented. I believe that you naturally have the ability to influence the Southern Song Dynasty."
Song Qingshu spread out his hands. "Let's not talk about this for now. If I agree to this, what benefits will I get?"
"Benefits?" Huo Qingtong was startled. It was obvious that she did not understand.
"I don't know how much risk I will have to take to help you deal with the powerful Mongols. Moreover, it is not in the interest of the Golden Snake Camp to sit back and watch as the Jin and Qing Kingdom's rear is empty." Song Qingshu paused. "You can't let me sacrifice my interests for your tribe without any benefits, right?"
"I wonder what benefits you want, young master?" Huo Qingtong asked in return.
Song Qingshu glanced at her indifferently. "Miss Huo, you don't have any sincerity at all?"
Huo Qingtong smiled bitterly. "I am not deliberately trying to be sly. In fact, before I came here, I had already thought of many ways to persuade you. However, after thinking about it, you have unparalleled martial arts. You have a strong army under your command, and you are surrounded by beauties. It can be said that you have reached a realm that countless men can't reach in ten lifetimes. I really don't know what else can move you."
No matter how she thought about it, the only thing that could move him was probably the power to conquer the world. If he wanted to conquer the world, the Mongols were his biggest enemy. Naturally, he would stand on their side. Therefore, Huo Qingtong was also gambling on whether Song Qingshu had this ambition or not.
"Actually, you have something that can move my heart." Song Qingshu said with a faint smile.
Huo Qingtong was secretly delighted. She hurriedly said, "Young master, please say it. As long as our tribe has it, just say it. We will definitely satisfy you." Now that the Mongols were powerful, although the Hui tribe could still resist for a while, they could not see any hope in the future. What people were most afraid of was having no hope. Previously, they had entrusted Yuan Ziyi to come to the Central Plains, but unfortunately, there was little effect. Huo Qingtong had no choice but to make a trip personally to find the illusory hope for the entire tribe.
If she could persuade Song Qingshu, then this plan could be said to be half a success. Naturally, she valued it very much.
Song Qingshu shook his head. "Miss Huo, don't agree too early. Otherwise, you will regret it later."
Huo Qingtong was stunned. Suddenly, she thought of something. "No, you are not allowed to have any ideas about my sister, Kasley." Her sister's beauty had spread far and wide in the Western Region. It was said that even the Mongol Khan was interested in her. Naturally, this was her first reaction.
"Kasley?" Song QingShu was stunned for a moment before he realized that it was Princess Fragrance's real name. He could not help but smile and said, "I haven't even seen your sister. Why would I pay such a big price for a strange woman?"
It was said that Princess Xiangxiang was extremely beautiful. However, no matter how beautiful she was, she was still a woman. How could she compare to a country and a city? What's more, it wasn't as if he didn't have beautiful women by his side.
"Then it's not a problem. It's fine as long as it's not my sister." Huo Qingtong heaved a sigh of relief. She thought that apart from her sister, there was nothing else in the entire tribe that she could not pay.
"Alright then. I can agree to your conditions, but Miss Huo has to be mine," Song Qingshu said slowly.
"Shameless!" Huo Qingtong's face instantly turned red. She suddenly stood up and left without looking back.
Only Song QingShu was left with a stunned expression. He thought to himself, I only value your intelligence and intelligence, and your ability to determine the outcome of a battle from a thousand miles away. It's not like I want your body. Why are these girls' thoughts so dirty nowadays?
Huo Qingtong was still a little angry even after she was far away from the inn. She could not help but kick a tree beside her a few times. "Despicable, shameless!" Actually, it was not that she did not think of this possibility. However, she had already set up an engagement with the Ming Cult's Cult Leader, and the man with the surname Song also knew about it. Presumably, he would not have any ideas about her. However, she did not expect that she had really underestimated his lower limit.
Could it be that the hatred between him and Zhang Wuji had really reached such a level? Did he want to snatch every woman around Zhang Jiaozhu?
The thought flashed through her mind. Huo Qingtong's face was a little red. Compared to Zhang Jiaozhu who had abandoned his personal grudges for the sake of the great cause, Song's vision was too low. It seemed that she had misjudged him previously!
