Song Qingshu was speechless. Shuiyue Sect was a Dongying man. Who the hell would know that the same tribe was called differently in Mongolian and Chinese?
Fortunately, Bor helped him out. "It's normal that he doesn't know. If I hadn't heard you mention it today, I wouldn't have known that the Han people call the Baloma Tieshi Tribe the Tieyan Tribe."
"I'm being silly." Elder Wu Sun slapped his forehead. He finally realized what was going on. "But this shows how much the Han culture has influenced Dongying. We must be very careful when we conquer the Central Plains in the future. We can't be like those grassland dynasties who conquered the Central Plains in the past."
Bor suddenly laughed. "How can those grassland dynasties be compared to our Mongolian Empire? We've been conquering the east and west and built a country that spanned tens of thousands of miles. We've seen many civilizations that are as developed as the Han people. We'll definitely learn from them. How can we be restricted to the Han people?"
Hearing these people talking as if conquering the Central Plains was a piece of cake, Song Qingshu sneered. He could not let civilization be destroyed by these barbarians.
Elder Wu Sun then called a few people who were related to this trip for a meeting. They discussed the things to take note of and the preparation work to be done. After the discussion was done, they all went home to rest.
Song Qingshu returned to Helin City. He was thinking about going to talk to Zhao Min about this when he suddenly saw a familiar carriage parked in front of his house.
Wasn't this the carriage of Princess Yalun that he saw outside Alibuge's residence yesterday? But this time, the driver was not Alan Daren. She must have been drunk and had not recovered yet.
"What is she doing here?" Song Qingshu was very curious and walked over.
The guards around the carriage noticed someone approaching and were obviously on guard. They saw his face clearly. It was hard not to recognize him since he had a drinking contest with Alan Daren last night. Someone approached the carriage and whispered.
Soon, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing Princess Yalun's dignified and beautiful face. "Hello, Elder Brother."
"Greetings, Princess." Song Qingshu pretended to bow and then asked curiously, "Why are you looking for me, Princess?"
Princess Yalun hesitated for a moment. "Let's talk about it in the car."
Song Qingshu was stunned and subconsciously thought that there was some kind of ambush in the carriage. He hurriedly used his Qi to investigate and found that she was alone. This made him even more puzzled.
Noticing his expression, Princess Yalun said slowly, "My identity is special now. If someone sees me in your room, it will cause trouble. So let's talk on the way. Do you mind?"
"Of course you can." Song Qingshu cursed inwardly. He really couldn't understand the other party's strange train of thought. They didn't want to enter the room, but they were willing to share the same carriage. No matter how he looked at it, it was more like they were in the carriage, right?
After he entered the carriage, Song Qingshu smelled a unique fragrance that was mixed with the fragrance of milk in the air. He instinctively looked down and could not help but sigh in his heart. 'Are all the Mongolians so talented?'
The carriage began to move slowly. Princess Yalun suddenly stood up and bowed to him, which made Song Qingshu reach out to help her. "What are you doing, Princess?"
Princess Yalun frowned slightly and retracted her hand without a trace. Then she said, "I came here today to apologize to the main sect."
"Why are you apologizing to me, Princess?" Song Qingshu was even more puzzled.
"I didn't manage my subordinates well. Yesterday, my subordinates offended the main sect. I hope you don't mind." Princess Yalun said as she handed over a small box. "This is a small token of my apology. I hope you will accept it."
Against the grain of the wooden box, her wrist looked whiter than milk. Song Qingshu did not take it. Instead, he frowned and said, "Yesterday's incident, Alan and I have already talked about it at the table. You don't have to do this, Princess."
Although the martial arts of the Shuiyue Sect were high, he was still a guest. The other party was a high and mighty Princess. Why was she so polite to him?
Princess Yalun said, "This time I came to the main sect not only to apologize for yesterday's incident, but also to ask for a favor."
Only then did Song Qingshu feel relieved. "What is it, Princess? Feel free to tell me."
But Princess Yalun said angrily, "Does the main sect want me to keep holding it up like this? My hands are very tired."
Song Qingshu's heart skipped a beat. Was this woman using her beauty to seduce him? But then he noticed that her eyes were very clear and immediately realized that he had misunderstood. She must have been feeling it. Recently, he had been a little nervous because of Dan Yuru and the Wind Girl.
"If that's the case, I'll do as you say." Song Qingshu took the small wooden box. Worried that there might be a trap inside, he used his Zhenqi to examine it. It should contain a pair of jade horses or something similar.
"The main sect's style of speaking is quite similar to that of the Han people." Princess Yalun pursed her lips and smiled. Shallow dimples appeared on her cheeks.
"Maybe this trip to the Xingqing Prefecture has infected me with some of the habits there." Song Qingshu's heart skipped a beat. He had to pay more attention to these details in the future.
Fortunately, Princess Yalun just said it casually. She continued, "My father is going to the desert to search for the treasure of the Gao Chang Kingdom. I don't know how dangerous it will be. The main sect's kung fu is very strong, so please take care of my father."
Wa Chen was born in the Hongjira Tribe and had a high status. Naturally, he had been conferred the title of King long ago. But he was only a Two-Word King, which was not as high as the One-Word Kings of the Golden Families.
Song Qingshu thought that she got the news really fast. "Protecting the Lord is my duty. Why should I trouble you to give me such a big gift?" He wanted to return the box as he said this.
"If the main sect doesn't accept it, I won't be at ease." Princess Yalun pushed the box back and sighed faintly. "I've seen too many things over the years. It doesn't hurt to be careful."
Seeing the sadness on her face, Song Qingshu asked tentatively, "Is the Princess thinking of the Lord?"
"I've embarrassed myself in front of the main sect." Princess Yalun's expression changed slightly. She regained her usual graceful and dignified expression. "I've been feeling uneasy for the past two days. It's as if something is going to happen on this trip to the desert. I'll have to trouble you to protect my father."
"Thank you for the reminder, Princess. I'll be careful on this trip." Song Qingshu also knew that this trip was strange, but he didn't expect this woman to be so perceptive.
"Thank you for your hard work, main sect. I'll send you back now." Yalun smiled faintly. She then ordered the guard to drive the carriage back to the main sect's mansion.
Just then, the sound of hurried horse hooves rang out. It was followed by a steady male voice. "Oh, isn't this sister-in-law's carriage? Khubilai greets sister-in-law."
Princess Yalun's brows furrowed. She replied calmly, "So it's fourth brother. I'm a little tired today, so I won't be coming out to return the greeting. I hope fourth brother won't take offense."
