The fight between Dongfang Muxue and Patriarch Sunflower was thrilling, and most people couldn't see what they were doing. They could only see two shadows spinning rapidly, like two tornadoes.
After watching for a while, everyone felt dizzy and quickly looked away. Now all their attention was on the two remaining people.
Song Qingshu smiled at Jia Shidao and said, "There are so many people watching. Shall we start?"
Jia Shidao frowned and said in a low voice, "You are only the brother-in-law of the emperor, and you are not married yet. Besides, the two princesses are not from the same mother as the emperor. Do you really have to work so hard for him?"
Song Qingshu couldn't help laughing. "Didn't you just promise to kill all of us? Isn't it too late to ask for peace now?"
Jia Shidao didn't look embarrassed at all. He still said calmly, "You are young, but you are in such a high position. I don't think you are the kind of person who acts on impulse. People like us should understand that the key to everything is profit. We don't have to fight for someone we don't have anything to do with. If we can shake hands and make peace, you and I will have the final say in the Great Song Dynasty. If you are still worried, we can still unite by marriage. Although my daughters are not devastatingly beautiful, they are still beautiful. Considering that you already have a wife, I can even make them your concubines. "
Many people in the distance couldn't help but curse, "How shameless!" Jia Shidao was the prime minister. Any official in Lin 'an, even the daughter of a concubine, wouldn't be a concubine. How could Jia Shidao be so crazy?
Zhao Gou was afraid that Song Qingshu would be persuaded, so he hurriedly said, "King Qi, don't believe him. He is just stalling. When we get back to the capital, I will personally arrange a marriage for you. Wouldn't that be better? " I'll let you marry the King of Hell's daughter after we return to the capital. However, with the cultivation of a Great Grandmaster, it won't be easy to kill him. However, I have the wealth of the four seas. When the time comes, I'll gather more experts and I'll be able to find someone who can deal with him.
Seeing the Emperor and the Prime Minister competing like commoners, the people around them were dumbfounded. They thought that both of them were really shameless. But on second thought, this was a matter of life and death, so how could they care about this little bit of face?
Song Qingshu smiled and said, "I didn't expect I would be so popular." Then he turned to Jia Shidao and said, "But I can win all of them. Why should I give you half?"
Hearing that, Zhao Gou's eyes became gloomy. Jia Shidao laughed and said, "Do you really think you can beat me?"
"If you were confident, you wouldn't have wasted so much time talking to me," Song Qingshu said as he slowly walked toward him.
Jia Shidao's face changed, and he took half a step back. But he quickly took his foot back and said angrily, "You are right. You might be better at martial arts, but there are many things in this world that can't be solved by martial arts alone. The Lu brothers have thousands of troops at the foot of the mountain. No matter how good you are at martial arts, you are no match for them!"
Other than the masters of the Front Palace Department, the emperor had also brought 10,000 bodyguards to guard the foot of the mountain. The mountain had been in turmoil for a long time, but the bodyguards at the foot of the mountain hadn't reacted at all. No one would believe that they hadn't noticed anything strange.
It was impossible to say that they had all been bought by Jia Shidao. Zhao Gou's trip was obviously to deal with Jia Shidao, and these 10,000 people were all carefully selected and trusted.
Although Jia Shidao could buy some people, he only controlled a small portion of them. Therefore, he could only use the fake military intelligence of the Jin Kingdom to mobilize the Lu brothers' troops to stall the 10,000 bodyguards.
Song Qingshu smiled and said, "After the last time you used Yangzhou to mess with me, how could I not be prepared this time? The Lu Brothers' troops have long been held up by another army. "
"How is that possible!" Jia Shidao sneered. "I'm now the Pingzhang Army's national affairs, and I'm in charge of all the affairs of the court, big or small. The Privy Council is controlled by my confidants, so no other troops can come within a hundred miles."
Song Qingshu sighed and said, "You are right. No army in the court can hide from you, but what about other countries?"
Jia Shidao's face changed, and he suddenly looked down the mountain. Unfortunately, he was so far away, so he couldn't know what was going on down there.
"The Jin Kingdom?" After thinking about it, the only possibility was the Jin Kingdom's army to the north of Xiangyang. But there was one thing he didn't understand. "Why would the Jin Kingdom cooperate with you?"
Many people looked at Song Qingshu suspiciously. The Song Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom were enemies. If he colluded with the Jin Kingdom, he would be despised by all the Han people in the world.
Qiu Qianren laughed and said, "Did you forget that I am now the commander of the Jin Kingdom? The Lu brothers cooperated with you and pulled back the border troops. How could we miss such a good opportunity? Of course, we took the opportunity to see if we could get anything out of it. I didn't expect to see such a good show!" Song Qingshu's identity in the Jin Kingdom couldn't be exposed, so he had to come out and take all the blame.
"The dogs of the Jin Kingdom!" Jia Shidao gritted his teeth and cursed.
Qiu Qianren laughed and said, "You are a treacherous official who tried to kill the king. How dare you scold me?"
Zhao Gou suddenly said, "General Qiu, the Jin Kingdom and the Song Kingdom have been in peace for a long time. As a country of uncle and nephew, we should help each other. Now that our country is in chaos, I hope that the Jin Kingdom can help us suppress the rebellion. We will repay you generously in the future."
"Emperor …" Huang Chang's breathing was rapid. He was obviously excited and wanted to say something. In the beginning, when the Song Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom were in peace, the Song Kingdom submitted to the Jin Kingdom. Even the title of emperor had to be conferred by the Jin Kingdom's emperor. It was similar to how the dynasties in the Central Plains conferred titles to countries like Goryeo and Dali.
Later, the court felt that it was too much, so they requested to change the relationship to a country of uncle and nephew. After several wars and peace talks, they finally managed to get it to be a country of uncle and nephew.
But everyone knew that this title was a great humiliation. They didn't expect Zhao Gou to shamelessly call himself a country of nephew in order to survive.
Huang Chang was filled with righteous indignation, but his injuries were too severe. Now, his blood was boiling, and his injuries were aggravated. Soon, his face was as white as paper and he couldn't speak.
"Master!" The yellow-robed woman hurried to heal him, but she knew that he was dead. It was good enough that he was still breathing.
Seeing the anger and humiliation in the eyes of the people around him, Zhao Gou quickly ignored them. He had thought it through. Even though the people hated the Jin Kingdom, he had a good relationship with the Jin Kingdom. After several peace talks, it would be difficult for the Jin Kingdom to find another Emperor who would be so cooperative. The Jin Kingdom probably did not want any trouble here.
And even if the Jin Kingdom really wanted to take the opportunity to invade, all the Han people in the world wouldn't allow it. They would definitely fight back, and he, the emperor, was the ruler of the world.
On the contrary, if Jia Shidao got what he wanted, he could casually choose a member of the royal family to succeed him. Then, who would care about him, the former emperor?
After understanding the situation, Zhao Gou struck while the iron was hot. "If your country can help us, we will increase the annual coins by 100,000 taels and 300,000 bolts of silk every year."
Hearing this, the Drunkard Monk put his palms together. "Amitabha."
Wang Chongyang laughed coldly. "This is the emperor you want to protect."
The Sweeping Monk also shook his head and whispered, "If only father and uncle didn't meet Taizu Taizong, but this emperor. How good would that be?"
Zhao Gou didn't hear their rumors. He thought to himself, "What do these people know? A real man is one who knows when to bow and submit. Back then, he colluded with the Jin Kingdom and even personally tasted Fuchai's shit. In the end, he was able to avenge himself and become a legend.
Qiu Qianren was stunned. "Hahaha, this dog emperor knows his place." He looked at Song Qingshu and didn't know how to respond.
Song Qingshu sighed. "Back then, I didn't understand why the Empress Dowager Cixi would rather be a friend than a servant. Now that I see it, they are indeed birds of the same feather."
Zhao Gou was stunned. Who was the Empress Dowager Cixi? However, these words have touched the bottom of my heart.
"Die, stupid emperor!" Jia Shidao suddenly pounced on Zhao Gou. He actually didn't want to do it himself and be known as a regicide, but he had no other choice. If Zhao Gou really convinced the Jin people, he would really be surrounded by enemies. On the other hand, if Zhao Gou wasn't around, he could represent the Song Dynasty to negotiate with the Jin Kingdom. Moreover, Zhao Gou had just said such humiliating words. Even if he killed the emperor, he would have a legitimate reason in the future.
But he had to stop halfway, because Song Qingshu took a step forward and stood between the two of them.
"You want to stop me?" Jia Shidao couldn't understand why Song Qingshu would take such a big risk to help Zhao Gou. He didn't seem like a loyal person to the emperor.
Song Qingshu said coldly, "I still have use for this person. I can't let you kill him." In fact, he was also hesitating about whether or not he should borrow someone else's hand to kill Zhao Gou. That would be the end of it. But after thinking about it, he still suppressed this tempting idea. He couldn't hide behind the scenes with his disguise forever. One day, he had to gradually walk out into the light. This was a good opportunity. A disabled Zhao Gou was much more useful than a dead Zhao Gou.
Jia Shidao opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the next moment, he suddenly attacked. He was also an ambitious person. At first, he thought about getting lucky and wanted to rope in Song Qingshu.
Once he saw that he couldn't rope him in, he immediately abandoned all distracting thoughts and used everything he had learned in his life, trying to cut off all means of retreat.
He knew that if he were in his normal state, he probably wouldn't be a match for Song Qingshu. But Song Qingshu had used up a lot of his True Qi, and with his unexpected attack, he might still have a chance.
Now that he was in a desperate situation, his punch was in line with the characteristics of pressing forward with indomitable will. The air in front of him was compressed to the extreme by his punch, and one could even faintly see that there seemed to be lightning flowing on his fist.
Jia Shidao had been timid just now, which made many people look at him with disdain. It wasn't until they saw this move that they all realized that he was a Great Master, after all!
Song Qingshu's eyes focused, and a sword of the void seemed to form between his fingers. He didn't defend against the punch at all, and he directly stabbed at his opponent's chest. It was a move that would take him down with him.
