What was even more eye-catching was that her skin was very white, as white as snow, and her appearance was rather exotic. It was obvious that she was not a woman from the Central Plains. At first glance, Song Qingshu could not help but think of a word, "Caucasian?"
As soon as this thought appeared, Song Qingshu's face heated up. He thought that he had really been influenced by that bastard Xue Pan to unconsciously think in this direction.
The woman must have been in a fight and suffered serious injuries. Her face was abnormally pale, and her breathing was very rapid. It was obvious that she was in a panic.
"Could it be a scene of kidnapping a civilian girl?" Song Qingshu was startled. He thought that Xu Liewu had sent someone to find women for him to pass his time. He had been fighting in the West for a long time, so it was normal for his taste to be more westernized.
In ancient China, having a high nose and deep-set eyes had nothing to do with being handsome. Instead, they were called "Hu Face", and people regarded them as having the appearance of a ghost. After the Five Barbarians Rebellion, Zhao Shihu and his son were very afraid of others talking about their looks. Anyone who mentioned anything about their sunken eye sockets would be killed without restraint.
Only someone like Song Qingshu who came from the later generations could appreciate the beauty of western women. Most people in this world couldn't. So when he saw this Hu woman being brought in, his first reaction was to think that it was Xu Liewu's orders.
Just as he was worrying about not being able to find his way, Song Qingshu saw the situation and quietly followed her. Because the woman was brought in, there was quite a commotion in the garden. No one noticed him, who was taking advantage of the situation to sneak in.
The woman was brought to a heavily guarded house. Song Qingshu's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly hid behind a pile of fake mountains.
The door to the house was quickly opened, and a loud laugh came from inside. "Ye Yu, you are indeed the Little Devil Master. Just as you expected, Madam Zhen has personally come to our residence to spy on us."
Song Qingshu looked in the direction of the voice, and saw a tall and straight man walking out of the house. He wore a Mongolian style felt hat, and just stood there casually. His every movement was brimming with endless confidence. Without countless victories and successes, it was impossible to accumulate this kind of temperament. Presumably, he was Xu Liewu, who had destroyed the Persian Ming Dynasty and made countless western countries tremble in fear.
Song Qingshu had long heard of this Prince's great name. He couldn't help but take a few more glances at him. He discovered that he was indeed a dragon among men. At this level, appearance was secondary; aura was more important.
There was a man standing beside Xu Liewu. He was elegant to the extreme, and his skin was even smoother and more tender than a young girl's. However, he was rather tall, and his shoulders were broad. His elegance exuded a domineering aura, giving off the feeling that he was well-versed in both the pen and the sword.
"This should be the Little Devil Master Fang Yeyu that they've been talking about." Song Qingshu quickly confirmed his identity. If this person appeared alone, his domineering aura would definitely leave a deep impression on people. However, when he stood with Xu Lie Wu, his domineering aura seemed to be lacking something. Instead, it made people notice his feminine aura even more.
"You flatter me, Your Highness. I was just lucky," Fang Yeyu replied. Although his words were modest, there was no surprise on his face. He smiled and looked at the Western Regions woman beside him. "Madam Zhen, previously, you used a clever trick to escape. You can say that I lost to you. However, this time, I've won."
"Hmph, since I've already fallen into your hands, do whatever you want to me. What's the point of talking so much?" The Western Regions woman turned her head away. It was obvious that she didn't want him to strut around in front of her. Please.
"Is this the beautiful military advisor of the Khwarazmi that Qing Lu mentioned?" As expected, she was beautiful and delicate. However, Song Qingshu didn't have the time to admire her beauty. Instead, he frowned inwardly. As the military advisor of the Khwarazmi, how did she fall into the hands of the Mongolians?
After all, they had a common enemy. Song Qingshu didn't want to see a potential ally suffer such a great loss.
"Killing you is too much of a waste," Xu Lie Wu said. "I'll give you a chance. Pledge your allegiance to This King, and This King will let bygones be bygones for your past actions. Furthermore, I'll also confer you the title of Military Advisor. With your talent, it's a waste to stay by the side of the remnants of a destroyed country. This King can provide you with a broader stage. The battlefields of the western countries are all places where you can display your strengths. If you follow This King, your name will definitely be recorded in history."
Xu Lie Wu's tone was very infectious. Even Song Qingshu had to admit that what he said was very reasonable. Staying by his side would naturally have a much better future than staying by Zalandin's side. People with ability often didn't want their abilities to be buried in obscurity.
Unexpectedly, Madam Zhen refused without hesitation. "Back then, you Mongolians invaded our Jade Dragon's Crimson City. You burned, killed, and looted for seven days and seven nights. One million and two hundred thousand people died in your massacre. My parents and brothers were among them. How can I do anything for you Mongolians with this blood feud?"
Song Qingshu was shocked when he heard this. He only knew that the Mongolians had massacred many cities in recent years, but he hadn't seen it with his own eyes. Now that he heard someone who had experienced it personally, he truly understood how tragic it was.
"Since that's the case, then it's regrettable." Xu Lie Wu shook his head and gave up on the idea of persuading her to surrender. How could he persuade her to surrender with this kind of national and family hatred? However, it would be a waste to just kill her like this.
Seeing the hesitation on his face, Fang Yeyu, who was at the side, smiled and said, "Your Highness, this Madam Zhen is the number one beauty in Khwarazm. Even if you can't use her as a military advisor, it's good to keep her by your side as a concubine to warm your bed. However, Your Highness needs to be careful. Don't be hurt by this thorny rose."
Xu Lie Wu laughed. "You don't know how many women by my side want to kill me for revenge. In the end, they still succumb to my charm. Send her to my room."
"Bastard …" Hearing the conversation between the two, Madam Zhen's almond-shaped eyes widened. Her expression became agitated, and she spoke in a language that Xu Lie Wu couldn't understand. It should be the local dialect of Khwarazm. She must be cursing.
Xu Lie Wu didn't care at all. He waved his hand and signaled for his subordinates to bring her in. In the past few years, he had conquered countless countries and cities in the West. He had enjoyed countless princesses and concubines of conquered countries. He was already familiar with this. Madam Zhen wasn't the first, and she wouldn't be the last. Therefore, his emotions didn't fluctuate at all.
After Madam Zhen was taken away, Xu Lie Wu said to Fang Yeyu, "Leaving Zalandin alive will be a problem in the future. It just so happens that they are in the city now. Immediately take some people to kill all the remaining members of Khwarazm."
Fang Yeyu looked hesitant. "Is it to start a massacre in the city? What about Western Xia?"
Xu Lie Wu said proudly, "How can a mere Western Xia dare to meddle in our Mongolian affairs? Moreover, the ones in charge of Western Xia are only a few young women. Sooner or later, they will be my concubines, so there's no need to worry about Western Xia. "
