Song Qingshu asked, "Your sect has deep roots here. Is there nothing we can do?"
Dan Yuru shook her head. "The Three Sects and Six Paths of the Holy Gate are only fighters trained by the major factions. We can't interfere with the Mongolian military or political affairs. Besides, Master and I, along with a few of our trusted subordinates, saved them this time. If the other members of the Holy Gate and the Yinweed Faction find out, they will report us immediately. It will be difficult for us to use our power."
"When Qigong and Uncle Guo get better," Yang Guo said, "it shouldn't be difficult for us to sneak out at night by climbing over the wall."
Even the tall walls of the Central Plains couldn't stop fighters like them, let alone a symbolic wall like Helin. It would be easy for second or third-rate fighters to climb over the wall.
"It's not that easy," Song Qingshu said. "All the soldiers in Helin are looking for us. There are sentries every few steps. It'll be hard for you to climb over the wall without being discovered. The terrain here isn't as complicated as the Central Plains, and it's easy to hide. Once you get out, it'll be an endless grassland. No matter how good your lightness kungfu is, you can't beat the relentless pursuit of the cavalry."
Yang Guo recalled the battle in the city last night and understood that no matter how good a fighter was on the battlefield, being surrounded by an army would only lead to death.
"Why don't we just go to the palace and assassinate Temujin? Wasn't he injured last night? If we drag him down with us, we'll do our part for the Central Plains," Zhou Botong said impatiently.
Dan Yuru's expression changed. "Senior, don't be rash. You may be good at martial arts, but the Khan has many masters under his command, many of whom are just as good as you. Besides, there are also Tongtian shamans and Pang Ban the Evil Master. Going to the palace is like throwing an egg against a rock."
"Although Temujin was injured yesterday, they still have the advantage in numbers," Song QingShu added. "His injuries will only take a few days to completely recover. On the other hand, because I used the Art of Blood Ignition, I won't be able to recover as quickly. It won't be easy for you to kill him."
Zhou Botong scratched his head in annoyance. "I can't do this, I can't do that. I hate thinking about these things. If only Rong 'er was here. She would have a way."
When Guo Jing heard him mention Huang Rong, a smile appeared on his face. However, his smile quickly froze when he recalled what happened in Lin City.
Song Qingshu thought for a moment before replying, "I'll go back and think about it first. I'll see if I can find a way to send you guys out."
Dan Yuru was surprised. "Aren't you going to stay here?" Song Qingshu explained, "I have another hiding place in the city. Now that it's getting late, it's not convenient for me to stay here for too long. It's easy to be exposed." Early in the morning, he first went to the Imperial Palace, then to the Ruyang Mansion, and then to this place. It was already evening.
"Then how can we contact you if something happens?" Dan Yuru continued to ask. This group of people was like a hot potato. The Mongolian soldiers would find this place sooner or later. Her heart was tense.
Song Qingshu thought of the shop that he and Zhao Min had visited before and answered, "There is a cosmetics shop in the city owned by a Hu merchant from the Western Regions. If you need me for anything, just leave a mark like this there. I will come when I see it."
Dan Yuru memorized the mark and nodded slightly.
After settling everything here, Song Qingshu was about to leave. He had only taken a few steps when Guo Jing caught up to him. "Brother Song, that …"
Seeing him blushing and stuttering, Song Qingshu smiled and said, "Brother Guo, you want to ask about Princess Huazheng, right?"
Guo Jing looked embarrassed. "I've embarrassed myself in front of you, Brother Song. I'm ashamed to talk about what happened this time. Although it's because I lost my memory, I still owe Rong 'er."
Song Qingshu did not know what to say from his position. After thinking for a long time, he could only say, "She will definitely forgive you."
"No matter how she punishes me, I deserve it." Guo Jing let out a long sigh. "But right now, I'm a little worried about Huazheng. I let her down sixteen years ago, and now, because of a freak combination of factors … If something happens to her because of me, I'm afraid I won't be able to rest easy for the rest of my life."
Song Qingshu patted him on the shoulder. "Don't worry, Huazheng is Temujin's most beloved daughter. As the saying goes, even a tiger will not eat its cubs. She should not be in any danger. From the current news, she is only under house arrest. Right now, I'm afraid she is most worried about you."
"I'm just afraid that she will do something irrational because she is too worried, and that the Khan will have no choice but to punish her." Guo Jing knew the Mongolians very well and knew that they were not united.
"Then I'll find a chance to let her know that you are safe," Song Qingshu replied.
Guo Jing was pleasantly surprised. "Thank you so much for being able to let her know." He couldn't help but sigh at how resourceful the other party was to be able to get in touch with Huazheng.
Song Qingshu comforted him a little. After saying goodbye, Li Mochou appeared in front of him. "I don't want to stay with them."
Song Qingshu was a little embarrassed. "But my hiding place is not convenient for you to go with me." Li Mochou was furious. "Who said I want to stay with you? Can't I find my own place?"
Song Qingshu laughed to himself. This woman was quite a tsundere. She would not admit defeat no matter what. "But if you are really not used to staying with them, you can go to the residence of the Shuiyue Clan. Here is the key."
Li Mochou wanted to say something more, but Song Qingshu stuffed the key into her hand. Her expression improved a lot. "Okay, okay, I'll stay with them for now. I can take care of them. I'll go when I'm bored."
After saying this, she left without looking back. She looked like she didn't want to say another word to him.
Song Qingshu smiled and left directly. After changing back to the appearance of the Shuiyue Clan, he went to do a roll call and showed his face to Li Chimei and Ba Siba. Then he found a chance to leave early and return to the Mongo Palace.
The color of Princess Yalun's clothes seemed to be brighter than before. It could be seen that she had carefully drawn her eyebrows and applied rouge. She looked more beautiful than before.
She was pacing back and forth anxiously, but when she saw Song Qingshu appear again, she was surprised at first, and then said lightly, "What did you do? What took you so long? I thought you weren't coming back. "
"It seems that the Princess doesn't want me to come back." Song Qingshu sounded disappointed.
"Who wants a thief like you to come back?" Princess Yalun's pretty face blushed and she spat unhappily.
Song Qingshu admired her makeup up close. He couldn't help but praise, "You are so beautiful today."
The corner of Princess Yalun's mouth rose slightly. "That means I'm usually ugly?"
Song Qingshu shook his head. "You usually dress very plainly, and I rarely see you dress up. But you are very elegant. It's no different from today's style."
Princess Yalun sighed faintly. "I'm a widow. I don't have the mood to dress up."
At this time, someone in another place also sighed with her. Hai Wanshen turned back and forth in front of a huge bronze mirror to look at his own reflection. His fingers gently stroked his plump skin. Suddenly, he sighed faintly. "Such a beautiful body … What a pity."
At this moment, a subordinate's voice came from outside the door. "Master!"
Hai Wanshen put away the melancholy on his face and replied coldly, "Speak."
"According to the inside report, Naya has found out the cause of Na Chen's death."
After hearing the report, Hai Wanshen's eyebrows gradually twisted.
