Seeing that Jin Bingyun had protected the people of the Princess Residence, Song Qingshu couldn't help but look at her in a new light. She was from the Palace of Sorcerers, but she was as kind as a saintess. For the sake of this matter, he wouldn't call her poison anymore.
At this time, a group of people galloped over from the distance. The one in the lead was a middle-aged beauty dressed in a bright red military uniform. Her eyes were bright and full of expression, and she didn't have any of the gentleness and gentleness of the concubines of the Central Dynasties.
What evil!
As the horse galloped, Song Qingshu's eyes couldn't help but roll up and down. He subconsciously touched his nose to see if there was any blood coming out.
I wonder which Empress it is? He was curious.
The customs of the Mongolian Dynasty were different from those of the Central Plains. The Emperors of the Central Plains had three thousand concubines, but only one Empress. The Mongolians, on the other hand, could have four Empresses at the same time. Each Empress had her own Odor (palace tent), and each Odor governed a certain number of concubines.
The Empress of the first Odor was Borte, the wife of Temujin and the birth mother of Jochi, Chagatai, Ogedei, and Tolui. When Temujin was still weak, he was defeated by his enemies, and Borte was kidnapped. It was only a year later that Temujin managed to rescue his wife, but by that time, Borte was already pregnant with his enemy's son, Jochi.
However, Temujin didn't mind. He still respected his wife and treated Jochi as his own. The Hongjira clan's current glory was also because of her.
Of course, Jochi's bloodline was also a hidden danger. Later, when Temujin was considering a successor, Chagatai publicly questioned the eldest son, Jochi, as a bastard, and caused the two royal families to be at odds. That was why the position of Crown Prince fell to the third son, Ogedei. As for why the position eventually fell to the Tolui line, that was a story for another time.
The Empress of the second Odor was Hulan, which in Mongolian meant red. She came from the Mier Qi tribe, which was the enemy of Temujin's tribe. Years ago, Temujin's father stole the fiancee of the Mier Qi tribe's younger brother, Haerlun, and gave birth to Temujin's brothers. Later, the Mier Qi tribe also stole Temujin's wife, Borte, and made her pregnant and gave birth to Jochi …
In this regard, Song Qingshu could only sigh: the circle of the rich is really messy!
The Mi 'erqi Tribe was made up of several smaller tribes, and Hulan was the daughter of one of the tribe leaders. Her father had participated in the kidnapping of Borte, but unfortunately, the Mi' erqi Tribe suffered repeated defeats. They fled to the Naiman Tribe and joined forces with the Great Yang Khan to fight against Temujin. In the final battle, they suffered a crushing defeat. With no other choice, Hulan surrendered to Temujin and willingly became his concubine.
Hu Lan was a famous beauty of the steppe. Temujin was overjoyed and agreed to their surrender. He made her his second Empress and doted on her greatly. She was the only woman who followed Temujin into battle his entire life. Whether it was on the Mongolian steppe or in the Western countries, she fought alongside Temujin on the front lines.
Thinking back to the secrets Zhao Min had told him in bed, Song Qingshu could not help but sigh. Temujin was truly a man of his word. Not only did he completely defeat his enemy, but he also conquered his wife and daughter.
The woman in front of him was obviously not Borte. Her age did not match, and she was not one of the other two Empresses. The other two were younger, so she must be the second Empress, Hulan.
As expected, the Mongolian soldiers all knelt down. "Greetings, Empress Hulan!"
Empress Hulan nodded and waved the whip in her hand, signaling everyone to stand up. "I heard from Bingyun what happened. I was a little worried, so I came to take a look. What's wrong, Naya? Are you not going to let them go?"
Naya looked at the enchanting figure in red. A complicated look flashed across his eyes, but he quickly lowered his eyes. "Since the Empress has come in person, I naturally would not dare to stop you." He then signaled for his soldiers to let them go.
Jin Bingyun led the people from the Princess Residence to the Empress' side. Hulan looked at Naya, who was kneeling on the ground and unwilling to raise his head. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she did not. She only sighed and said, "Thank you, General. Let's go!"
She came like a gust of wind, and when she left, she did not drag her feet. She was like a colorful cloud in the sky, beautiful but erratic.
Song Qingshu watched coldly from the side. He saw the complicated look in Naya's eyes and Hulan's hesitant expression. He could not help but ponder, "Could it be that there is something going on between these two?"
But his attention was quickly attracted by two figures in the crowd behind Jin Bingyun. Even though they were wearing Mongolian clothes and were trying their best to cover themselves, he could still see that they were Han. Who else could it be but the Wu Brothers?
He remembered seeing them during the marriage selection in Xixia. They had found out about Shifu's whereabouts and came to the Great Desert. It seemed that they had finally found the Princess Residence. He wondered if they had contacted Guo Jing.
He followed them quietly, thinking of a way to get them out. Otherwise, if they were brought into the Devil's Palace, it would be difficult for them to see the light of day again.
After walking for a while, Da Wu and Xiao Wu looked at each other, as if they could see the determination in each other's eyes. Suddenly, they jumped out of the crowd and pounced on Empress Hulan.
They had gone through untold hardships to find out the whereabouts of their Shifu. After much difficulty, they finally managed to sneak into the Princess's residence. But before they could even speak with Guo Jing, Temujin suddenly barged in with his men. Not only did they capture their Shifu, they were almost killed as well.
Guo Jing's capture happened in the blink of an eye. When they learned that something had happened, they wanted to rush over to help, but their martial arts were too weak. They knew that it would be very difficult to rescue Shifu with their martial arts, but the Empress had appeared.
From the reaction of the Mongolians, Temujin must have doted on the Empress. So they decided to risk their lives and capture the Empress as a hostage in exchange for their Shifu.
Although there were many guards around the Empress, they still had a chance to succeed if they suddenly attacked. Even if they succeeded, they might not be able to keep their lives. As long as they could save their Master, what was there to fear about sacrificing their lives?
Song Qingshu, on the other hand, almost couldn't stop himself from cursing out loud. These two were really retarded children. Not to mention Jin Bingyun, even the Empress' guards were not to be trifled with.
Sure enough, the Mongols were caught off guard and even allowed Dawu to get close to the Empress. Delighted, he reached out to grab the Empress' shoulder, but Hulan's expression darkened and she lashed out with her whip. She had followed Temujin through many battles and was a soldier herself. Naturally, her kung fu was not weak. Dawu, on the other hand, had subconsciously assumed that the Empress was a delicate young lady. How could she not be at a disadvantage?
Da Wu screamed as he was whipped. The surrounding warriors quickly reacted and slashed at him with their swords. Xiaowu cried out in alarm and rushed to help his brother. Unfortunately, the two of them were unarmed and could not block the weapons coming from all directions. It looked like they were about to be chopped into meat paste.
Song Qingshu had no choice but to take action. In a flash, he appeared next to Da Wu and Xiaowu. With a palm strike, he knocked away the swords of the surrounding warriors, then immediately jumped out of the battle with the two of them and ran in another direction.
Jin Bingyun's expression had been cold all along. The previous situation did not require her to take action, but now she had no choice but to do so. With a tap of her foot, she chased after the three of them like a graceful swan.
Song Qingshu had seen Jin Bingyun's lightness kungfu before. It was very skillful in its own way. With two men in his hands, it was difficult to get rid of her. If more troops in the city were to be alerted, it would be troublesome.
So he quickly said to Da Wu and Xiaowu, "You guys go to the recruitment center in the south of the city to find Yang Guo. I'll stay here and delay the pursuers."
"Thank you, Master!" Da Wu and Xiaowu were a little surprised that Yang Guo was also in the forest. Although they had always been at odds with each other, they had no time to care about the past grievances.
