Song Qingshu was speechless. "No, you heard wrong."
Although Madam Zhen didn't think there was anything wrong with what she heard, she now worshipped him like a god. Hearing his words, she suppressed the doubts in her heart.
Song QingShu coughed lightly and introduced them to each other. When Zalandin saw this beautiful little girl, he did not take her seriously. However, when he heard that she could represent the Jin Kingdom, he immediately put away his contempt.
Even though he was far away in India, he had heard that the biggest enemy of the Mongolians in the Central Plains was the Jin Kingdom. Therefore, one of the main purposes of his trip to Western Xia was to establish a connection with the Jin Kingdom.
Wanyan Zhongjie curled his lips. He thought that he was more like a mascot and couldn't represent the Jin Kingdom. But he also understood that Song Qingshu didn't want to stand in front of the stage, so he acquiesced.
As Song Qingshu introduced the two sides, he sent someone to invite Galdan and the others over. He didn't call the people of Western Xia and Qing. This was the result of careful consideration. Western Xia and Mongolia were too close, and they could be threatened by the Mongolian army at any time. For the time being, it was not suitable to break off relations with the Mongolians. He also didn't want to expose his relationship with the Manchurian Qing.
Zalandin was overjoyed to hear this. Although the Jin Kingdom was powerful, it was too far away from Khoresm. But the Dzungar Khaganate was different. It could be said that they were very close to Khoresm, so there were many areas where they could cooperate.
Madam Zhen blinked her eyes and looked at Song Qingshu. At this moment, she admired him from the bottom of her heart. Not only was his kung fu so high, but he also had such a wide network. He could easily summon the higher-ups of the Jin Kingdom and Dzungar Khaganate. But on second thought, with his kung fu and ability, it would be strange if he couldn't do this.
Noticing the look in her eyes, Wanyan Zhongjie suddenly felt a sense of crisis. She hurriedly inserted herself between the two and blocked her eyes. "How did you get together?"
Madam Zhen immediately sensed her hostility. She was a quick-witted person and immediately understood the reason. She thought that a person like her benefactor would definitely attract the most outstanding women in the world. When she realized this, she did not feel any jealousy in her heart. On the contrary, she felt that it was only natural.
Since Khwarazimo still needed the help of the Jin Kingdom, she didn't argue with Wanyan Zhongjie. Instead, she smiled faintly and silently retreated to the side.
Wanyan Zhongjie stared blankly for a moment. Now that the other party was acting like this, she felt a bit embarrassed and felt that she had gone too far.
Song Qingshu didn't notice that the thoughts of the two women had already changed a thousand times at this moment. Instead, he roughly recounted what had just happened.
Wanyan Zhongjie couldn't help but slap the table and stand up when he heard that the Mongolians had mobilized all their experts to attack Khwarazm's embassy. "These Mongolians are too arrogant!"
"It's because the Mongolian army can run amok in the world and destroy countless countries. That gave them confidence," Song Qingshu reminded. "You can't be careless in your defense here. The Mongolians might attack you too."
"Don't worry, I've brought the elites of the Loyal Army with me. Besides, Mister Ouyang is also here. If the Mongolians come, they'll all die." Wanyan Zhongjie snorted.
Song Qingshu nodded to himself. Having Ouyang Feng here was indeed a relief. Not only was he skilled in martial arts, but he was also good at using poison. No matter how many Mongolian masters there were, it would be useless. Baidu
Not long after, Galdan also arrived with his men. His original purpose for this trip was to look for allies. Both sides could be said to hit it off. Although Zalandin's power was a little weak now, it had proven that he could cause enough trouble for the Mongolians over the years. Moreover, he had the Indian Mughal Dynasty behind him.
After some discussion, they decided on military, political, and commercial cooperation. The Jin Kingdom's goods and armaments could flow into Khwarazm through Dzungar Khwarazm, while Khwarazm would import Indian and Western goods and specialties into Dzungar Khwarazm through the Cong Mountains.
After signing the agreement, Galdan and the others returned to their own residence. Worried that something might happen on the way, Song Qingshu even asked Wanyan Zhongjie to send Jin Kingdom warriors to escort them.
The Mongolians were searching the entire city, but this was the capital of Xixia after all. It would be a loss of face for them to act like this, so Yelu Nanxian and Li Qinglu led the people of Class One Hall to stop them. The two sides fell into a stalemate. Song Qingshu asked Zalandin to take this opportunity to leave.
Since they had already signed the agreement, most of the purpose of this trip had been accomplished. Zalandin had no reason to continue staying. He immediately led his subordinates and left the capital of Xixia that very night.
Song Qingshu was chatting with Wanyan Zhongjie in the embassy when someone suddenly reported that someone wanted to see him. When the person came in, he couldn't help but be startled. "Why haven't you left?"
The person who came was graceful and beautiful, with skin as white as snow. Who else could it be but Madam Zhen?
Madam Zhen bowed and explained, "If the Mongols knew that the Prince had escaped the city, it would definitely be easier to kill him in the wilderness than in the city. Therefore, I must continue to stay in the city in the name of the Khwarazm diplomatic mission and create the illusion that he is still here. This will numb the Mongols and buy enough time for the Prince and the others."
Wanyan Zhongjie couldn't help but say, "But if that's the case, won't you all die nine out of ten?" Staying here alone and facing the powerful Mongols would be no different from sending them to their deaths.
"According to a saying on your side, a gentleman will die for his bosom friend. The Prince has treated us well, and he is the last hope of the Khwarazm. In order to cover his escape, any sacrifice is worth it." Madam Zhen smiled. "It's not just me. Shanchayue also volunteered to stay behind and cooperate with me."
"That person was heavily injured. If he didn't die, he should be thanking the heavens. But you are different. You are the second in command of the Khwarazm, and you are so beautiful. Are you really willing to stay behind and die?" Wanyan Zhongjie asked.
"In the past, I might have hesitated, but now …" Madam Zhen didn't say anything else. She just looked at Song Qingshu with a smile.
Wanyan Zhongjie pouted and snorted. He turned around and left. He hadn't seen her for half a day, and now there was another woman who would throw herself at him. Was this guy an aphrodisiac?
Song QingShu smiled bitterly. There was no way he could explain this to her. After Wanyan Zhongjie left, he calmly looked at the tall and voluptuous woman in front of him and said, "You didn't stay here just to buy time for your prince, did you?"
Madam Zhen smiled sweetly. A trace of shyness flashed in her eyes. "Young Master, you have done so much for our Khwarazm. I am unable to repay you. If you don't mind, I am willing to be your servant and serve you."
