Song Qingshu's heart skipped a beat. It looked like he and Hong Qigong really did come to Helin City to look for Guo Jing. He just didn't know if Da Wu and Xiao Wu had come. Last time, when they left the Xixia marriage selection, they seemed to have come to Mongolia to look for Guo Jing.
"Guo Jing?" Jin Bingyun clearly didn't expect him to ask this, "Is it the Golden Knife Consort from back then?"
Before Zhou Botong could reply, Khubilai replied in a deep voice, "I hope Miss Jin knows that Guo Jing betrayed the Khan ten years ago and is no longer the Golden Knife Consort of Mongolia. Also, the Khan has recently betrothed Gu Gu to Wu Chen of the Hongjila Clan. If you mention the Golden Knife Consort again, it'll cause a lot of people to talk about it."
"Gu Gu?" Yang Guo was extremely sensitive to this word. He instinctively stood up and wanted to ask who Wu Chen was. Jinlun Fawang quickly explained to him. Only then did he understand that 'Gu Gu' wasn't Xiao Long Nu, but Hua Zheng. Only then did he sit down dejectedly.
Gongsun Lu 'E's eyes were all on him. Seeing this, her heart ached but she didn't show it on her face. She still maintained a slight smile.
"I misspoke," Jin Bingyun said apologetically. Jin Bingyun had an apologetic expression on her face. Coupled with her elegant and refined appearance, she looked delicate and pitiful. No one could harden their heart to really blame her for anything.
"Miss Jin, don't worry about it," Khubilai also secretly called her a vixen. He didn't dare to look at her any longer and quickly turned his attention to Zhou Botong, "I heard that Hong Qigong of the Beggar Clan caused a ruckus at Seventh Brother's mansion yesterday. He's also asking about Guo Jing. Is he really in Helin City right now?"
It wasn't that no one suspected that Guo Jing was with Hua Zheng, but when Jinlun Fawang and the others went to the central plains to investigate, they didn't find her. After Hua Zheng came back, she also sent people to ask about Guo Jing. She only went to find a doctor because one of her loyal subordinates contracted a strange disease. She didn't find Guo Jing in the mansion either, so no one suspected anything. But now, people keep coming to look for Guo Jing. Could it be that Hua Zheng really hid him?
Zhou Botong impatiently put his hands on his hips and said, "I'm asking because I don't know if he's here or not. If I knew he was here, I wouldn't be asking you. I would've made a bet with the old beggar to see who would find Guo Jing first … Aiya, you look smart, but you're also dumb."
No matter how magnanimous Khubilai was, he couldn't keep his face after being pointed at like this in front of everyone. The Leader of the Jin Kong School and Taoist Baisheng shouted angrily, "How dare you!"
They had just joined Khubilai's side and hadn't made any contributions yet. They had just been humiliated by Yang Guo and wanted to save their face. When they saw this, they rushed out at the same time and grabbed Zhou Botong's shoulders. They wanted to capture him and hand him over to Khubilai.
"Aiya, I love fighting." Zhou Botong's face was filled with excitement. He went up and exchanged blows with the two.
"Aiya!"
With a bang, the Leader of the Jin Kong School and Taoist Baisheng's bodies swayed, but they stood their ground. Zhou Botong, on the other hand, was pushed back a few steps.
The Mongolians in the room were shocked. Before, when they saw that the Leader of the Jin Kong School and Taoist Baisheng couldn't even handle a young man, they looked down on them. Now that they saw them, they realized that their martial arts were indeed powerful. The reputation they made in the Ruyang Palace wasn't just a rumor.
Even Jinlun Fawang, Yang Guo, and the others had similar thoughts. Although Zhou Botong's martial arts were powerful, he was fighting one against two. It was normal for him to be at a disadvantage when it came to internal energy.
Song Qingshu, on the other hand, could see clearly that Zhou Botong was retreating because he was using the momentum. The Leader of the Jin Kong School and Taoist Baisheng were probably trying to show off in front of Khubilai, so they endured the risk of injury and didn't retreat. They were thinking the same thing.
"Wow, your palms are so cold and your fists are so hard. I was too careless just now. That doesn't count, let's do it again." As soon as Zhou Botong finished speaking, it was as if he had multiple bodies. One hand held the Vacant Fist and the other held the Demon Subduing Fist. He attacked with both hands. Dancing God E-Book
Taoist Baisheng and the Leader of the Jin Kong School had never seen this kind of martial arts before. They were instantly caught off guard. However, with their cultivation levels, they wouldn't lose so easily if they worked together.
Khubilai knew that these martial arts masters had to respect their status. He said, "This isn't a martial arts competition. Capture him, I have questions to ask him."
"Yes sir!" Jinlun Fawang cupped his hands and jumped into the fray. He had mastered the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art. Even if he fought Zhou Botong alone, he had a fifty percent chance of winning, not to mention Taoist Baisheng and the Leader of the Jin Kong School.
Zhou Botong immediately yelled, "You big monk, how can you be so strong?" As he spoke, his movements became more and more difficult to understand.
Yang Guo, who was on the side, thought to himself, "I need to find a chance to help Zhou Botong escape."
Before he could make a move, Zhou Botong laughed, "You guys have more people. I'll find some helpers to help me." As he said this, he waved his palm above his head. The roof was shaken by the wind from his palm and a large piece of the roof fell towards Khubilai's head.
"Be careful, your highness!" Jinlun Fawang and the others didn't care about attacking Zhou Botong anymore. They quickly went to help Khubilai. Zhou Botong laughed and took the opportunity to jump out of the hole in the roof.
Song Qingshu took back his hand. Even though Zhou Botong had some problems with his mind, he wasn't stupid. His intelligence in battle was off the charts. Song Qingshu had worried about him for nothing.
Jinlun Fawang, Taoist Baisheng and the others all apologized to Khubilai for not protecting him properly and alerting his highness.
Khubilai didn't mind at all. Instead, he kept praising Zhou Botong's abilities. He said that it was a pity that he couldn't recruit such a talented person. He also sent people to investigate Guo Jing. Hong Qigong and Zhou Botong appeared one after another, so he had to be careful.
Because of the hole in the roof, the wind was very cold at night. The banquet naturally ended early.
Before he left, Jin Bingyun called out to Song QingShu, as if she wanted to say something to him. However, Song QingShu was like a snake or a scorpion, and he left without looking back. Before Jin Bingyun could chase after him, she was surrounded by a large group of Mongolian nobles. It was not good for her to reject these nobles, so she tried to be polite. However, her eyes involuntarily fell on the back of Song QingShu, thinking to herself, what is wrong with this person?
"Master, there are so many men who want to talk to that Jin Bingyun. Why did you run away?" Wind Maiden asked in confusion.
Song Qingshu was speechless. "That woman is poisonous."
"Poisonous? What do you mean?" Wind Maiden was confused.
"It's …" Song Qingshu thought about it but didn't know how to explain. "It's hard to explain in a few words. Go back and prepare your luggage for tomorrow."
"You're going to leave me behind again?" Wind Maiden pouted unhappily. However, when she thought about how she could leave the city with him tomorrow, she didn't mind this small matter.
