"By the way," Hai Wanli paused, then asked, "It wasn't one of us who passed the message, right?"
Hai Zhenhai replied, "Don't worry, Consort. I know what I'm doing. The message was passed through seven or eight hands, and I've already cut off all the clues in between. Even if something happens in the future, they won't be able to trace it back to us."
"That's good. We just need to watch the show." Hai Wanli smiled sweetly, as if she didn't care about the bloodlust in Hai Zhenhai's words.
After Song Qingshu returned to his residence, Dan Yuru didn't leave in a hurry. Instead, she looked at him quietly with her beautiful eyes, "Mister, aren't you going to invite me in for a cup of tea?"
Song Qingshu knew that she was deliberately teasing him, so he waved his hand in annoyance, "Why are you drinking tea so late at night? Be careful, you won't be able to sleep if you drink too much."
Dan Yuru pursed her lips and smiled, "The Northern Desert is bitter cold. It's hard to sleep alone. Mister needs a woman to sleep with."
Song Qingshu's face darkened, "You keep tempting me. Aren't you afraid that I won't be able to control myself? What will you do then?"
"Mister's words hurt my heart. As long as Mister wants it, I won't reject it." Dan Yuru looked at him in surprise.
Song Qingshu couldn't help but admire her acting skills. She made it look so real. However, he didn't want to provoke these seductresses from the Demonic Sect. "Alright, alright. I don't feel like it today. You can go back by yourself."
"Mister, you've drunk a little too much today. You should rest well. I won't disturb you any longer. I'll take my leave first." Dan Yuru bowed as she spoke. She was dressed in a white dress, and when she bowed, her sleeves fluttered. She didn't look like a seductress at all. Instead, she looked like a fairy.
After she left, Song Qingshu planned to go straight to Zhao Min's place. However, when he remembered that there was someone else in the house, he had a headache.
At this time, the Wind Lady heard the commotion outside and rushed out. When she saw him, she couldn't help but exclaim excitedly, "Master, you're back. I've already prepared hot water. Unfortunately, there are no hot springs in the Northern Desert Plains. Otherwise, I would be able to scrub Master's back for you."
Song Qingshu's eyelids twitched. A big demon had just left, and now a little demon had come. Did she really think that he was Liu Xiahui? He didn't know what this fellow from the Water Moon Sect had taught this female disciple in the past, but the more he looked, the more they didn't seem like master and disciple at all.
"No need to trouble yourself. You can go to sleep." Song Qingshu was too lazy to bother, so he directly used the Soul Transfer Technique to give her a hint. This was also due to the inspiration he got from Dan Yuru during the day.
The Wind Maiden's expression froze for a moment before she obediently went back to sleep.
The reason why he didn't hit her acupuncture point was because he had seen too many melodramatic dramas in his previous life. A woman would be defenseless when her acupuncture point was hit, and in the end, another villain would take advantage of her weakness …
Although he had nothing to do with the Wind Lady, he didn't want a woman to get hurt because of him.
After settling things here, he ran to Zhao Min's boudoir with ease and told her what happened today.
"This Brother Ali looks silly, but I didn't expect him to be two-timing." Zhao Min couldn't help but sigh when she found out that he was very close to Ya Lun and Hai Wanli.
Song Qingshu was speechless. "That's not how you use two-timing."
"As long as that's what it means." Zhao Min giggled. "The hatred between the Wokuotai Faction and the Thor Faction is as deep as the ocean. No wonder he doesn't dare to let Hai Wanli and Ya Lun meet."
Song Qingshu said, "I don't know if he's brave or stupid. If the news of him working with Hai Wanli gets out, the other kings of the Thor Faction will be the first to reject him."
"He has no choice." Zhao Min's beautiful eyes flashed with intelligence. "Now that Khubilai's power is growing, and he has an ally like Xu Liewu, he can't do anything alone. Even if he allied with Princess Ya Lun, Brother Meng is still dead. The strength of his faction is not what it used to be, so he naturally needs external help."
"But compared to this, I'm more concerned about another piece of news I received today," Zhao Min suddenly said.
Seeing her solemn expression, Song Qingshu couldn't help but be confused. "What news?"
"Today, a strange piece of news suddenly spread through the streets and alleys of Helin City. It's about the treasure of Gao Chang Ancient Country," Zhao Min said slowly.
Song Qingshu wasn't surprised that she was able to gather so much information even though she was under house arrest. "Gao Chang Ancient Country's treasure? Isn't that just a lie? "
"You know about this treasure?" Zhao Min was slightly surprised.
Song Qingshu didn't know how to explain it to her. He could only say vaguely, "What kind of treasure could a small country in the Western Regions that has been destroyed for hundreds of years have?"
In The White Horse Roaring West Wind, the treasure of Gao Chang Ancient Country was actually a collection of books, four treasures of the study, and other items that had been passed down from the Tang Dynasty. These things were very rare in the Western Regions, so they were naturally treated as precious items. He didn't expect that they would mislead the future generations.
"That might not be true. Gao Chang Ancient Country was the hub of the Silk Road. Merchants from both the East and the West would pass through here. It's not strange that they accumulated a large amount of wealth," Zhao Min said. "And there have been rumors of Gao Chang Ancient Country's treasure in the grasslands. However, Gao Chang Ancient Country has been destroyed for hundreds of years, so no one knows exactly where it is. But from the news I received today, it seems that a merchant accidentally discovered the ruins of Gao Chang Ancient Country deep in a desert."
"Why do you think this news is strange?" Song Qingshu suddenly remembered the adjective she had just used.
"Because it happened at this critical juncture," Zhao Min blinked. "According to reliable sources, Princess Huazheng entered the palace today to report to the Great Khan that Guo Jing was bestowed the title of Golden Blade's son-in-law because he had helped the Mongols conquer Samarkand. Later, Guo Jing broke the engagement and ran away. These years, she has been a laughing stock for being alone. She doesn't want others to think that she married someone else because she couldn't find a husband. So she hopes that her future husband will also be able to make a great contribution before she is willing to marry him."
"Now that the Mongols are fighting everywhere, they are consuming a lot of money, food, and supplies. If the other party can find the treasure of Gao Chang Ancient Country and present it to the Khan, then she will be willing to marry such a hero."
"Then Temuzhen agreed?" Song Qingshu immediately understood Huazheng's plan. She and Guo Jing were stuck together like glue every day, so how could she want to marry? She was probably saying this to use an illusory treasure to indefinitely delay the date of her wedding.
"Although the Khan has many children, she is the only daughter of his first wife. He has always doted on her, and in addition to the fact that he felt guilty about the Golden Blade's son-in-law, he naturally agreed," Zhao Min replied.
"But isn't this a slap in the face to the Hongjira family?" Song Qingshu was puzzled. "That Wa Chen is not young anymore, and his daughter is already a princess. Why would he be like those hot-blooded youths who go through so much trouble for the sake of love?"
"With Temuzhen's methods, he will definitely have a corresponding method to appease them. We will see tomorrow." Zhao Min snorted. Clearly, she had a deep impression of Temuzhen's methods.
"Let's talk about tomorrow's matters tomorrow. It's getting late, let's get some rest." Song Qingshu was tipsy, and under the candlelight, he felt that the beauty in front of him was even more charming.
Zhao Min hurriedly pushed him away. "You reek of alcohol, so dirty."
"Originally, there was a sweet maid who prepared hot water for me and even wanted to scrub my back, but I thought of you, so I directly refused and ran over." Song Qingshu chased after her with a face full of saliva.
"You really know how to walk …" Zhao Min's face turned red, and she could not finish her sentence. "Even with the face of the Shuiyue Clan, there are still women who take the initiative to throw themselves at you."
