Song Qingshu hurriedly stood up and said: "Great Khan, Madame Duxiu has kept her chastity for a long time and has always been revered by the citizens of Peerless City. This might be a bit … inappropriate."
He couldn't care less about offending Temujin. If he really did bully Madame Duxiu, not only would Gu Zixian hate him for the rest of her life, even he himself wouldn't be able to get over it.
He quickly thought of a way to protect Madame Duxiu. He even thought of claiming that he had an affair with her. Even though it would be a bit awkward, but in order to save her, neither Gu Ningqing nor Gu Zixian would blame him.
But he had no choice but to reject this plan. After all, in theory, he and Gu Ningqing had never interacted before. How could they hook up in such a short time just because he went to recruit her?
Wouldn't that be the same as trying to steal Temujin's woman? No normal subordinate would do that.
Unfortunately, even though his mind was working furiously, he couldn't think of a way to protect her in such a short amount of time.
Hearing his words, the entire crowd quieted down. Everyone had a strange look on their faces as they waited to see how the situation would develop.
A flash of anger flashed across Temujin's face, but he managed to restrain himself and said coldly: "Great Khan, you misunderstand. I only invited Madame Duxiu to discuss the transfer of hostages from Peerless City. After all, we are about to leave for another place, and this matter needs to be settled as soon as possible."
The Mongols weren't stupid enough to just listen to verbal surrender. Usually, they would have important local figures provide hostages to Helin City, and Temujin would place them in the Qie Xue army.
Compared to other armies, it was easier for the Qie Xue Army to get rewards, and it was also easier for them to be promoted. Because of it, they tied the benefits of the surrendered hostages to the Mongolians, and they indirectly tied the surrendered forces to the Mongolians. Unless there was a major change, with this method, these people will basically not rebel.
Since Temujin had put it this way, there was no way he could criticize him on the spot. He couldn't very well point out that Temujin intended to take advantage of the opportunity to rape Madame Duxiu, could he?
"Alright, this matter has been settled. Everyone, let's continue drinking!" Ba Siba came out to smooth things over. At the same time, he gave Song Qingshu a look. This matter was considered settled.
Gu Zi Xian couldn't help but look at Song Qingshu for help. Even Gu Ning Qing's usually calm eyes had a trace of panic. Song Qingshu secretly said, "Don't worry, I won't let Madam be violated."
With his assurance, I will do my best.
Although he couldn't think of anything else to do, his uneasy heart calmed down a little.
During the banquet, Dan Yuru took advantage of the chaos to come to Song Qingshu's side. While congratulating him on his promotion, she lowered her voice and asked, "What do you plan to do?"
Song Qingshu said in a deep voice, "I have a rough idea, but I need to improve it."
Dan Yuru asked, "What can I do for you?"
"Thank you for your kindness, Hierarch, but there's no need for it for now. Furthermore, this matter is too dangerous. It's best not to involve you," Song Qingshu said.
Dan Yuru's face was full of hidden bitterness. "We're already in such a state, yet you keep calling me Hierarch."
"Ahem ~" Song Qingshu almost choked. He hurriedly comforted her, and only then did she smile.
After the banquet was over, everyone went their separate ways. The Dual Cultivator's wife was "invited" away to Temujin's tent.
Before leaving, she couldn't help but look back at Song Qingshu. Song Qingshu gave her a reassuring look, then quickly returned to his tent and took out some materials.
In the King's tent, the Madam sat nervously on a stool. Her hands, hidden in her sleeves, tightly gripped a dagger. She had kept her chastity for so many years, and she didn't want to be defiled by someone like Temujin.
What she was hesitating about was whether she should choose to perish together with Temujin or commit suicide.
Her kung fu was not weak, and if she suddenly launched a sneak attack, she might be able to hurt Temujin. However, she had heard rumors that Temujin was a Grandmaster, and she was not confident. She was also worried that her actions would bring disaster to Peerless City and the House of Dual Cultivators.
If the innocent people of Peerless City were to die because of her, it would be too much to redeem herself.
But if she had to obey Temujin just like that, how could she be willing!
Thinking back to the calm look Song Qingshu gave her before she left, and the words he had entrusted her with, the Madam bit her lip. Now that things have come to this, she could only trust him. I hope he won't disappoint me.
Not long after, heavy footsteps could be heard. Temujin, reeking of alcohol, rushed in. The Madam's heart tightened. She hurriedly stood up and saluted, at the same time tightly gripping the dagger in her sleeve. "Your servant greets the Great Khan."
With the help of the candlelight, Temujin carefully looked her up and down. Her skin was as white as milk, her face full of lust, and her voluptuous body. All of a sudden, he felt a burning sensation in his lower abdomen. "Hahaha, Xi!
Everyone says that your daughter is the most beautiful woman in the North, but in my opinion, she is still too young and inexperienced. How could she be as mature and beautiful as you? "
The Madam's heart was beating wildly. She hurriedly replied, "You flatter me, Great Khan. Your servant has come to discuss the matter of the hostages. Who does the Great Khan want as hostages?" She did not dare to continue on that topic, so she could only quickly change the subject to proper business.
Temujin sat down on the edge of the bed and patted the seat next to him. "Madam, you can come and sit."
The Madam forced a smile. "No need, I can stand." She did not dare to sit down. Otherwise, if he took advantage of the opportunity to hug her, the two of them would immediately roll onto the bed behind her.
Temujin did not mind. "As for the issue of the hostages," he said slowly, "all the upper echelons of Peerless City have sent their eldest son to Helin City to join the Qie Xue army. However, the Governor of Peerless City and the Princess of the House of Dual Cultivators are still young and have no children. What do you think we should do, Madam? "
The Madam bit her plump red lips. "Your servant is slow-witted, I really do not know."
Temujin laughed. "I have an idea, but I don't know if you are willing."
"Since we have already surrendered to the Great Khan, we will naturally follow his orders," the Madam replied.
Temujin looked at her with a burning gaze. Wuji's eyes swept up and down her beautiful, round curves. "Although they do not have children, they do have other relatives, and that is you, Madam. From now on, Madam can stay by my side as a hostage. Don't worry, I will treat you well."
The Madam's expression changed. "I … I'm afraid that's not appropriate." Temujin's words were already so obvious, how could she not understand?
"Madam, you are no longer an inexperienced little girl. There is no need to beat around the bush with me. If you obey me, I will guarantee that Peerless City and the House of Dual Cultivators will be safe and sound in the future. Otherwise … hmph!" Temujin was already tipsy and did not want to go around in circles with her.
The Madam's face was deathly pale. She had finally reached this point. Just as she was at a loss of what to do, Temujin had already pounced on her. With the cultivation of a Grandmaster, there was no way for her to dodge. In an instant, Temujin hugged her and kissed her on the face, his breath reeking of alcohol. "Come, Madam, I will let you know the true happiness of a woman."
At that moment, a loud roar came from outside the tent, shaking the entire tent. "Who dares to bully the descendant of I, Dugu Qiubai!"
