Song Qingshu and Wanyan Zhongjie hurriedly went out to investigate and discovered that Galdan's group had come looking for them. They were covered in blood and their armor was in disarray. It was clear that they had just experienced a fierce battle.
Galdan found out that this was the encampment of the Song and Jin Kingdom's diplomatic corps. Although he found it strange that these two generations of enemies had come together, he still sent people to ask for help from the two countries.
The yellow-robed woman and Xue Baochai were in a fit of anger, and they noticed the situation of the group. They were worried that taking them in would bring trouble to themselves, so they ignored them.
On the contrary, Wanyan Zhongjie didn't hesitate at all. He sent people to welcome them in and provided them with hot water and food. He also sent a doctor to treat the wounded soldiers.
Galdan was very grateful and said in a deep voice, "Dzunger Khan will remember the friendship of the Jin Kingdom and the little prince for generations to come!" Wanyan Zhongjie had already returned to his usual disguise. Galdan was still in a state of shock and didn't realize that Wanyan Zhongjie was a woman dressed as a man.
The Young City Lord at the side also bowed and said, "Wushuang City will also remember Little Prince's kindness today. In the future, if Little Prince has the opportunity to visit the Western Region, we will definitely treat you as a distinguished guest."
Through the conversation just now, Song Qingshu had already found out that this young city lord of Peerless City was called Dugu Ming. Song Qingshu was secretly amazed, thinking to himself that his swordsmanship vaguely resembled that of Dugu Seeking-A-Loss. Could it be that Dugu Seeking-A-Loss was really related to Peerless City?
"The Great Khan and the Young City Lord are too polite." Wanyan Zhongjie smiled politely and did not mention anything else. Instead, he said, "I have already sent people to prepare a room for you two. You two have traveled a long journey, why don't you rest early?"
Song Qingshu secretly gave her a thumbs up. Even if Galdan and the others didn't say anything, based on the relationship between the Jin Kingdom and the Mongols, they would still help each other. However, Wanyan Zhongjie didn't show this from the beginning to the end. It would be better if the two of them took the initiative to ask for help.
Sure enough, after a brief moment of hesitation, Galdan cupped his hands and said, "Although it's difficult to say, I have a presumptuous request that I don't know if I should say or not."
Wanyan Zhongjie also played along. "Great Khan, please speak your mind."
Song Qingshu secretly cursed. These people's words were so conventional. Were they filming a historical drama?
Galdan said, "Just now, in order to cover us breaking out of the encirclement, one of our companions brought up the rear and fell into the encirclement of the Heaven's Fate Sect's demons. I don't know how they are now. I wonder if your country can send someone to rescue them?"
Wanyan Zhongjie didn't agree immediately. Instead, he said with an awkward expression, "We didn't bring many people this time, and each of them has a heavy responsibility. The people of the Heaven's Mandate Sect are highly skilled in martial arts, and they have the advantage in numbers. If we send people there, I'm afraid we'll suffer heavy losses. Moreover, we'll provoke a strong enemy for no reason …"
Song Qingshu wanted nothing more than to hug Wanyan Zhongjie and kiss her. Although she was young, she was very quick-witted. She actually understood the human heart to such an extent. Human nature was like this. The easier it was to obtain something, the less cherished it would be. On the contrary, if it was obtained at a great cost, the more precious it would be.
Galdan was also a smart person. He immediately said, "If your country is willing to help us, our Zhungeer State and the Jin Kingdom will become brothers. From now on, the friends of the Jin Kingdom will be our friends, and the enemies of the Jin Kingdom will be our enemies!"
Wanyan Zhongjie secretly cursed the old fox. Wouldn't this make Galdan's enemies also the enemies of the Jin Kingdom? Of course, both sides had a common enemy, the Mongols, so she didn't really mind.
Seeing that the other side didn't express an opinion, Galdan also knew that his proposal wasn't sincere enough. He continued, "In addition, we will also send your country fifty Camel Revolution Cannons as a token of our gratitude."
"Camel Revolution Cannons?" Song Qingshu said in surprise.
Galdan looked at him curiously. Clearly, he didn't understand why a Song person would be here in the Jin Kingdom. But seeing that Wanyan Zhongjie wanted him to participate in such a confidential meeting, he hesitated for a moment and explained, "In the past, when we fought the Afghans and the Mughals, we seized the weapons from them and mounted them on the camels. Even when facing the most elite Mongolian cavalry, we weren't at a disadvantage."
"Do you have the real thing?" Song Qingshu stood up. He was really interested.
He had been in a high position for a long time, and his every action had an unquestionable quality. Galdan instinctively had his men bring over a camel. He said regretfully, "Unfortunately, we didn't bring much this time. Moreover, these things aren't suitable for close combat and can't be used in a place like the inn. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been forced into such a difficult situation by the Heavenly Sect."
Soon, a camel was brought into the room. On the camel's saddle was a long barrel-shaped weapon. It looked like a gun, but it wasn't a gun.
Song Qingshu walked in and looked at it carefully. It looked like a rifle on the camel, but it was much bigger than a rifle. It was too small to call it a cannon.
Although he didn't directly demonstrate its effects, Song Qingshu could roughly guess its use. In terms of power, it was definitely not as powerful as the Red Barbarian Cannon of the Qing Dynasty.
However, it should be more powerful than the Three-Eyed Divine Gun of the Ming Dynasty. Furthermore, it was mounted on the camel, ensuring its mobility. Thus, it wouldn't be at a disadvantage against the Mongolian cavalry, who were experts in mounted archery. It was no wonder that they were able to contend against the Mongolians in the Western Region for so many years.
Seeing that Wanyan Zhongjie still hadn't expressed his opinion, Dugu Ming gritted his teeth and said, "Our Peerless City has six great techniques that are famous throughout the Western Region. If the Little Prince is interested, we can give you one of them."
"Young Master!" His men hurriedly tried to dissuade him. These techniques were the secrets of Peerless City, so how could they be given to an outsider?
"I know what I'm doing!" Dugu Ming snorted. He couldn't bear to part with his cold and arrogant fiancée. Furthermore, he had just abandoned her, which made him feel guilty. Thus, it could be said that he was willing to pay a huge price.
"Oh, I wonder what kind of techniques you have?" Wanyan Zhongjie asked curiously.
"Dragon-Subduing Divine Kick, Buddha's Palm, Love of Seven Generations, Invincible Hegemon Hand, Alluring Love, and Holy Spirit Sword Technique." Dugu Ming introduced the characteristics of each technique as he spoke. From time to time, he would even demonstrate them.
Song Qingshu secretly shook his head. Although this Young Master knew a little of each technique, it was obvious that he wasn't proficient in any of them. Furthermore, these techniques seemed to be incomplete versions, especially the Alluring Love and Holy Spirit Sword Technique. The power of these techniques was too different from what he remembered.
"What's the situation with the Alluring Love? Can the Young Master demonstrate it? "Wanyan Zhongjie was, after all, a young girl. She was immediately attracted by the name of this technique.
"Only my fiancée knows this technique. When the time comes, I can let her teach it to you." Dugu Ming wasn't a fool. He knew that if he delayed any longer, the people of the Dual Cultivator Residence would have already been wiped out. His cold and incomparably beautiful fiancée and his mature and beautiful mother-in-law would fall into the hands of the Heaven Sect's evil people. It was easy to imagine the humiliation they would suffer.
"Fine, let's save them first." Wanyan Zhongjie knew that the people of the Dual Cultivator Residence were out of danger. If they delayed for too long, they would come looking for them. Galdan and the others would realize that they were out of danger and regret their previous promise.
Wanyan Zhongjie quickly arranged for a group of cavalrymen to search in the direction of the small town. Galdan said worriedly, "Little Prince, although the Jin Kingdom's warriors are elite, the Heaven Sect has many experts. I'm afraid that these people …"
Wanyan Zhongjie smiled and said, "Don't worry, Great Khan. The leader of the group, Mr. Ouyang, is very famous in the martial arts world. He is one of the Five Greats of the Central Plains, Western Poison."
"Could it be Mr. Ouyang of the White Camel Mountain Villa?" Dugu Ming exclaimed in excitement.
"The Young Master also knows him?" Wanyan Zhongjie was a little surprised.
"In the past, Mr. Ouyang's power shook the Western Region for decades. The power of the White Camel Mountain Villa was not weaker than many of the City Lords. It was only later that Mr. Ouyang left the Western Region and went to the Central Plains that the White Camel Mountain Villa gradually fell into desolation." Dugu Ming smiled bitterly and said, "With Mr. Ouyang there, we can rest assured."
Song Qingshu was secretly amazed. He thought that if there was a chance, he would ask Ouyang Feng more about the Western Region.
