"Hey!" Xue Baochai couldn't help feeling anxious when she saw Dian Hong run away.
"What's wrong? Are you close to him?" Song Qingshu had always been suspicious of the relationship between Dian Hong and the Xue family. After all, in Chu Liuxiang, Dian Hong was raised by Xue Xiaoren.
"No, my acupoints haven't been unsealed yet!" Xue Baochai had just had her major acupoints sealed by Feng Nu, so she couldn't move at all.
"Forget it, you can't catch up to him anyway," Xue Baochai said in distress, "Go find Young Master Yang and see if he's here."
"Young Master Yang?" Song Qingshu was stunned for a long time before he realized that she was talking about the yellow-robed woman, "Find him to unseal your acupoints?"
Xue Baochai nodded hurriedly, but the other party said, "I'm not looking for him."
"Why not?" Xue Baochai blinked, her eyes filled with confusion.
"First of all, he was angered by those people just now, so he's probably gone long ago. You won't be able to find him even if you want to," Song Qingshu continued, "Also, that Feng Nu seemed to have sealed the acupoints on your chest. If you find a man to unseal your acupoints, wouldn't that be letting him off easy?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xue Baochai's little face turned red, "That Young Master Yang isn't … isn't what you think."
"Oh?" Song Qingshu stared at her with a smile, waiting for her to continue.
Xue Baochai hesitated for a moment, but finally said, "Actually, she's a woman dressed as a man."
"No wonder she has red lips, white teeth, and tender skin. If she's a man, she's too effeminate." Song Qingshu had a look of sudden realization.
Xue Baochai was speechless, thinking, 'Aren't you also red lips, white teeth, and tender skin? Where did you get the courage to talk about others?'
Song Qingshu continued, "How about I unseal your acupoints?" He was bored on the road anyway, so he had to find something to do to pass the time. He couldn't help but flirt whenever he saw a beautiful girl.
If Song Qingshu had appeared with his original identity, he would not have let himself loose like this. After all, he was in a relationship and did not want to easily provoke other girls.
But now that he appeared with the identity of Jia Baoyu, he didn't have many concerns. Moreover, he used Jia Baoyu to wander between several women and divide the relationship between the four big families. Although it was a bit damaging, it could be regarded as an effective method. Now he lacked time the most, and the four big families were dragging him down, so he had to try all kinds of methods.
"You know how to unseal acupoints?" Xue Baochai was shocked.
"I don't know." Song Qingshu shook his head naturally. "But I've heard the guards in the fu mention that unsealing acupoints is to activate the body's Qi and blood. I'll rub a bit for you and you should be able to unseal your acupoints."
"Rub?" Xue Baochai almost fainted from anger. The acupoint on her chest was poked. How could she rub that place?
"Don't come over!" Xue Baochai turned pale with fright when she saw that the other party had really rolled up his sleeves.
"I was rash. It doesn't seem to be very convenient." Song Qingshu laughed foolishly, as if he suddenly realized something was wrong. "Sister Bao, don't blame me."
Xue Baochai bit her lower lip and glared at him fiercely. "I really don't know if you're really stupid or just pretending to be stupid. I've never seen you act so willfully before."
"People always change." Song Qingshu instilled similar ideas in her little by little. After getting used to it, even if he really didn't act like Jia Baoyu in the future, she would probably get used to it. "Then I'll stay here to protect you. I heard that the acupoints will automatically unseal after a few hours."
Xue Baochai frowned slightly. "No, I don't know how many accomplices the Wind Lady has, and I don't know how those young masters are doing. If something happens to them, it'll be troublesome. Help me unseal my acupoints."
"Ah?" This time it was Song Qingshu's turn to be surprised. He was just saying it for fun. Was she really going to do it?
Xue Baochai rolled her eyes at him impatiently. "Of course you're going to use a stick or something to poke my acupoints. What are you thinking?"
Song Qingshu smiled awkwardly. It was no wonder that he would have such a perverted thought. After looking around the room for a while, he finally found a suitable stick. "This should be fine, right?"
"Yes," Xue Baochai said with a red face. "Press my Tianshu, Guanyuan, and Dabao acupoints one by one."
Song Qingshu knew where these acupoints were, but Jia Baoyu didn't.
Seeing that he was stunned, Xue Baochai obviously thought of the same thing. She whispered, "Three inches above the navel, to the right …"
"Here?"
"Hmm … a little higher. Hmm, almost there. A little to the right …"
Just like that, while Xue Baochai pointed, Song Qingshu fumbled and finally unsealed the acupoints on her body.
In the end, Song Qingshu still cared about his reputation. He didn't want to take advantage of her.
The room quickly fell into silence. It seemed to be filled with a charming atmosphere. Xue Baochai's face was dark red. She whispered, "I'll go check on those people first." Then she trotted out of the room.
Looking at her fleeing figure, Song Qingshu smiled and shook his head. He also followed her out.
The other young masters were knocked unconscious and put under house arrest. Just now, when the Central Plains' Red Dot rushed in, the people of the Imperial City Department had already noticed that something was wrong. Even the yellow-robed woman heard the news and rushed over. Fortunately, the Mongolians only wanted to 'invite' them to Mongolia as guests and didn't want to kill them. Otherwise, these people wouldn't even know how they died.
Knowing that Hua Kui was a Mongolian spy, they all rejoiced. Some even secretly said, "Lust is like a knife. The ancients didn't deceive me."
Most of the people were cursing the shamelessness of the Mongolians. Only the Lu brothers looked at each other and saw the regret in each other's eyes. If they had known that the top courtesan was from the Mongolian side, they would have tried to get in touch with her. Maybe they would have succeeded by now.
After Xue Pan woke up, he was in a daze. Obviously, he couldn't accept this result. The little beauty who liked him so much had ulterior motives.
Because of this incident, the people of the Imperial City Department became more cautious. Even the yellow-robed woman didn't leave the group at will. Just like this, they headed west. There were no more accidents along the way. As they got closer to the Spiritual State, they met more martial artists on the road.
Although the territory of Xixia was smaller than that of the Mongolian, Jin, Qing, and Song Dynasties, it was founded on martial arts and had dominated the northwest for decades. Now, it was even stronger than the struggling Liao. Anyone who wanted to touch the Western Region would have to face Xixia. Therefore, when the other countries heard that the Xixia Princess was looking for a husband, they all carefully selected the sons of nobles to participate in the contest. They wanted to take this opportunity to form an alliance with Xixia.
As for the people of the martial arts world, they were even more direct. They thought that if they could marry the Xixia Princess, they would have wealth and glory at their fingertips. How could there be anything better in this world? However, most of the famous figures in the martial arts world were married and had children. The new youngsters didn't have high martial arts skills. Therefore, many old heroes brought their sons and nephews to try their luck. Many bandits and gang members were alone. They couldn't help but hope that they could get lucky and set off for the Spiritual State. Many people thought:
Maybe I'm destined to marry the Xixia Princess, and it doesn't mean that my martial arts skills are better than others. As long as I'm fated with the Princess and she takes a fancy to me, I'll have the hope of becoming the Prince's son-in-law.
Along the way, they saw that the young heroes were all dressed in bright clothes. Even their weapons and tools were very exquisite. It was as if they were going to a big competition. As the saying went, "The poor study and the rich learn martial arts." Most of the families who learned martial arts had money. If they didn't behave well, it would be easier for them to get money. Therefore, most of the young men of the martial arts world who went to Xixia wore gorgeous clothes in order to win the Princess's favor. When acquaintances met each other, they would tease each other and ask about the Princess's appearance and martial arts skills. If they didn't know each other, they would glare at each other and treat each other as enemies.
Every time Song Qingshu heard these discussions, he couldn't help but feel proud. He felt a sense of achievement when he thought that the goddess of so many men's dreams used to be in his arms.
One day, as they were walking slowly, a horse suddenly came towards them. The rider's right arm was hanging from his neck with a piece of white cloth. His clothes were torn and he was in a very sorry state.
The Southern Song people didn't think much of it. They thought that if this person didn't fall, then he must have been injured. That was normal. Unexpectedly, not long after, three more horses came. The riders were also seriously injured. If they didn't have broken arms, then they had broken legs. They saw that these three people's faces were ashen, they were very ashamed, they lowered their heads and hurried past, not daring to look at them again.
Xue Pan couldn't help but ask, "Is there a fight ahead? Why are there so many people injured? "He was a young man and had already forgotten about the 'Courtesan Queen' incident after so many days.
Before he finished speaking, two more people came towards them. These two people were not riding horses. Their faces were covered in blood. One of them had a piece of green cloth wrapped around his head and blood was constantly seeping out.
Xue Pan shouted, "Hey, do you want medicine? Why are you injured? "The man glared at him fiercely, spat on the ground and turned around to leave.
Xue Pan was furious. He pulled out his whip and was about to lash at him.
Xue Baochai stopped him, "Forget it! This person is seriously injured. There's no need to lower yourself to his level. "
At this moment, four horses came galloping towards them. The riders on the horses shouted at each other, "It's all your fault. You want to eat swan meat. Don't you think about how strong you are? You want to go to Spirit State and become the Emperor's son-in-law."
Another person scolded, "If you have the ability, why didn't you pass the test? Now that you lost, you want to vent your anger on me. "The other person scolded," If you didn't stab me in the back, how could I have lost? " The four people were galloping and talking so fast that no one could hear what they were arguing about. In the blink of an eye, they were right in front of them.
Seeing that there were many people in the Southern Song group, the four people didn't dare to fight with them. They pulled their horses and galloped to the side, but they were still pointing and cursing at each other. It seemed that the four of them wanted to go to Spirit State and become the Emperor's son-in-law. However, there seemed to be a test that none of them could pass. Since they were holding each other back, they had to return in defeat.
At this moment, a few more people walked towards them on foot. They were all injured as well. Some were bleeding from their heads and some were limping.
Xue Pan couldn't suppress his curiosity. He rode forward and asked, "Hey, is the person at the front very strong?"
A middle-aged man said, "Humph! You'll know when you try it yourself. "
Xue Pan and the others were all young and arrogant people. Not only were they not afraid, but they were even more excited. They excitedly urged their horses to gallop in that direction.
After running for seven or eight li, they saw that the mountain path was steep. The path was only wide enough for one person to ride on, and after a few turns, they saw a group of people gathered in a group.
Song Qingshu looked into the distance and saw two big men standing side by side in the middle of the mountain path. They were both over six feet tall and unusually tall. One of them was holding a large iron rod while the other held a copper hammer in each hand. They were glaring fiercely at the people in front of them.
There were at least seventeen or eighteen people gathered in front of the two men.
"Excuse us, we're going to Spirit State. Please make way."
"Are you here to collect money for the road? Is it one tael of silver each or two taels of silver each? As long as you name a price, it's negotiable. "
"If you don't get out of the way and annoy me, I'll chop your two big men into meat paste. Then, I won't be able to put them back together again. You'd better get out of the way obediently, lest disaster strikes."
"You two are handsome and majestic. Why don't you go to Spirit State and become the Emperor's son-in-law? Wouldn't it be a pity if that beautiful princess was taken away by someone else? "
The crowd opened and closed their mouths, but the two men ignored them.
Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted, "Get out of the way!" A cold light flashed and a sword was thrust at the man on the left. The man was huge and his weapon was heavy, but his movements were fast. He hit the two hammers and sandwiched the sword between them. The pair of octagonal copper hammers weighed about forty pounds each. With a clang, the sword was broken into more than ten pieces. The burly man's leg flew out and kicked the man's lower abdomen. The man screamed and fell seven or eight feet away. He couldn't get up for a while.
Another man dashed forward with a pair of sabers in his hands. The sabers formed a white light that protected his body. When he was in front of the two men, the man shouted and suddenly changed his saber technique. He landed on the ground and rolled forward, slashing at the two men's legs with his sabers. The man with the rod didn't even look at where the saber came from. He raised his iron rod and fiercely struck the white light. "Ah!" he heard a blood-curdling scream as the man's sabers were broken by the iron rods. The sabers pierced his chest as he rolled down the mountain.
The two men injured two men and the rest didn't dare to move forward anymore. Even Xue Pan and the others were shocked. They were no longer as excited as they were before.
Song QingShu shook his head slightly. He didn't know how many mobs had been attracted to the betrothal contest in the Western Xia. Although the martial arts of those two big men guarding the pass weren't weak, they couldn't be considered as real experts. Yet, they had managed to create a situation where one man could hold the pass against ten thousand enemies.
"Get out of the way!"
There was a commotion behind them. They could vaguely hear the prince of the Jin Kingdom coming.
"The prince of the Jin Kingdom?" Out of curiosity, Song QingShu turned his head and saw a group of Jin Kingdom cavalrymen escorting a young man. He was about 15 or 16 years old and wore a loose robe. He was thin but extremely handsome.
