After Xia Qingqing finished introducing the forces of Golden Snake Camp on the various mountains, she suddenly showed worry on her face: "According to your original plan, I will gather them and propose that whoever can lead Golden Snake Camp through this crisis will be appointed as the new leader. I thought it would take a lot of persuasion, but they seemed to have the same idea and quickly reached an agreement. "
"That's normal." Song Qingshu smiled, "Everyone wants to take the opportunity to become the new Golden Snake King."
"Hmph, I'm afraid you won't be able to laugh if you hear the next news." Xia Qingqing rolled her eyes.
"What news?" Song Qingshu was stunned.
"Gai Mengchang, Meng Bofei, said that the election of the Golden Snake King is very important and we can't let anyone participate, so we need to set a qualification in advance," Xia Qingqing answered.
"Qualification?" Song Qingshu was thoughtful.
"Yes," Xia Qingqing said worriedly, "According to Meng Bofei, we can't just hand over the power of the Golden Snake Camp to an unknown person, so he proposed that each mountain recommend a candidate with good character, martial arts, and ability. On one hand, it saves time for blind elections, and on the other hand, it ensures that no matter who becomes the Golden Snake King, it won't be disadvantageous to the Golden Snake Camp."
"As soon as Meng Bofei said this, the leaders of the other mountains all agreed as if it had been agreed long ago."
"I see." Song Qingshu fell into a deep voice, "Are there any specific requirements for the candidate proposed by each mountain? His character, martial arts, and ability are all too lacking. "
"Yes, that's what I'm most worried about." Xia Qingqing nodded and said, "The candidate proposed by each mountain must be approved by at least half of the other mountains to be eligible to participate."
"That means each candidate must be approved by at least six forces, right?" Song Qingshu thought that it was indeed a little troublesome.
"Yes, that's why I've been waiting for you to discuss it. I didn't expect you to arrive today." Xia Qingqing couldn't help but complain.
No wonder Xia Qingqing received his secret signal and came looking for him in such a hurry. Song Qingshu secretly regretted bringing Zhao Min to Kaifeng for medical treatment and then fooling around with Icy Snow on the road. He really wasted a lot of time.
Icy Snow seemed to know what Song Qingshu was thinking. She couldn't help but glare at him with a flushed face.
"I was too careless." Song Qingshu could not help but hold Xia Qingqing's hand. "Which mountains are you sure you can get the support of?"
As Icy Snow was still standing at the side, her hands were held by Song Qingshu. Xia Qingqing subconsciously wanted to pull her hands back, but Song Qingshu refused to let go. Xia Qingqing glanced at Icy Snow with a blushing face. Seeing that Icy Snow was not surprised at all, it was clear that she already knew about their relationship. Xia Qingqing secretly stomped her feet. "This b * stard, he revealed everything about our relationship. How can I be embarrassed?"
However, she still had to answer this question. Xia Qingqing carefully pondered for a while. Then, she said in an uncertain tone, "The Golden Dragon Gang's Jiao Waner and her husband have always been on good terms with big brother Yuan. Although … although Jiao Waner and I have had some misunderstandings, it shouldn't be a big problem to obtain her consent."
"What misunderstanding?" Song Qingshu was stunned.
"Oh, don't ask anymore." Xia Qingqing's face turned red. She thought that she was too embarrassed to tell him about these old matters of jealousy.
"Uh, okay, I won't ask anymore. You can continue." Song Qingshu saw that Xia Qingqing looked like a kitten whose tail had been stepped on. He could not help but smile.
This time, it was Xia Qingqing's turn to be bashful. "Uh, that's it."
"That's it?" Song Qingshu was stunned. "You mean you don't have the confidence to fight for the other mountains?"
Xia Qingqing's face was full of embarrassment. "Oh, in the past, big brother Yuan was in charge of the Golden Snake Camp. He didn't intervene in the specific matters. He didn't have a deep relationship with the other mountains. It's not strange."
Hearing that Xia Qingqing's voice was getting lower and lower, Song Qingshu felt angry and funny at the same time. "It seems that you are now a commander without an army."
Xia Qingqing pouted in dissatisfaction. "That's why I needed you to discuss it. But you came so late."
Since things had already come to this, it was useless to say so much. Song Qingshu quickly thought for a while. Then, he suddenly asked, "Do you know who the other mountains intend to nominate?"
"I only know that Jiao Waner and the others seem to intend to nominate Murong Fu." Xia Qingqing replied. "The forces of the other mountains seem to deliberately hide it from me. They haven't revealed their plans."
"The Golden Dragon Gang is from Jiangsu. It's not strange that they would nominate Murong Fu, who is also from Gusu." Song Qingshu muttered to himself. "It seems that the other mountains' nominees represent their own interests."
Xia Qingqing rolled her eyes. Suddenly, she revealed a sly smile. "You don't have to be so pessimistic. In fact, there is a mountain that nominated you."
"Isn't it your mountain that nominated me?" Song Qingshu looked at her strangely.
"What do you mean by 'my mountain head' or 'mountain head'? You make me sound like a bandit's wife," Xia Qingqing snorted, "I am talking about another mountain head, precisely Wangwu Pai's Situ Bolei."
Hearing Situ Bolei nominate him, Song Qingshu couldn't help but stare blankly. He originally wanted to go and persuade him to agree with him. He didn't expect that he would be directly nominated.
"I heard that Situ Bolei has a beautiful and well-behaved female apprentice. Tell me honestly, did you hook up with her?" Xia Qingqing gently bit her lower lip and looked at him with a smile that wasn't a smile.
When Icy Snow at the side heard this, she felt that this was very similar to Song Qingshu's style of doing things. So, she also looked at him with a smile.
"No, I just happened to save them before." Song Qingshu couldn't stand the ambiguous gazes of the two women. He quickly explained the matter of him leading the troops to wipe out Wangwu Faction and secretly letting them go.
"If that's the case, then it's no wonder," Icy Snow suddenly changed the topic. "Isn't that female apprentice very beautiful?"
"Not bad. She's not as beautiful as you two, but she speaks softly and is quite gentle …" Song Qingshu answered subconsciously. Then, he suddenly cursed inwardly.
Icy Snow and Xia Qingqing glanced at each other. Seeing that the other also had the same 'as expected' expression, they couldn't help but smile at each other, feeling that the gap between them had disappeared.
At the side, Miao Ruolan pouted her small mouth with a depressed look on her face. She thought, 'Why is there another sister …'
Song Qingshu deliberately coughed twice and said embarrassedly, "Now we need to do two things. First, we need to strive for the approval of more than half of the mountain peaks to qualify for the candidacy. Second, we need to figure out who the other mountain peaks are supporting so that we can prepare in advance."
Icy Snow nodded and said, "Yes, we're pressed for time now. How about this? Miss Xia, you accompany uncle to immediately set off to visit each mountain peak. I'll stay here to take care of Ruolan and be your backup support."
Xia Qingqing was stunned when she heard that. She understood that the other party deliberately created an opportunity for her to be alone with Song Qingshu. She was grateful but also a little embarrassed. Just as she was hesitating whether she should pretend to postpone, a knock suddenly came from the door.
"Who is it?" In fact, Song Qingshu had long noticed that someone was coming. But judging from the other party's breathing, he knew that it was not an expert, so he didn't care.
"May I ask if Prince Song is here?"
Who would look for me at this time? Song Qingshu glanced at Xia Qingqing.
Xia Qingqing's eyes were also bewildered. She quickly covered her face with a veil. Her identity was special, so it was not convenient for the Golden Snake Camp to know that she had a close relationship with Song Qingshu.
Icy Snow also walked to Miao Ruolan's side and guarded her behind her. Only then did Song Qingshu go to open the door.
"My name is Situ He. Greetings, Prince Song."
A young man stood outside the door. When he saw Song Qingshu's appearance, he was immediately overjoyed.
"So it's Brother Situ." Song Qingshu had met him once in Mount Wangwu. He recognized him as Situ Bolei's son, Situ He.
"My father heard that Prince Song fought with the Mongolian and Khitan experts a few days ago. He guessed that Your Excellency would pass by here, so he specially ordered me to wait here for a long time. Brother Song has finally arrived …"
Situ He suddenly found that there were two women in the room. He was immediately stunned. One was an incomparably beautiful young married woman. Although the other was masked, she had a graceful figure. Presumably, her appearance was not bad. He thought that since the last time they parted, his Junior Sister had been reluctant to forget him. Perhaps it was just the falling flowers but the heartless water.
"May I know why Senior Situ is looking for me?" Although Song Qingshu had heard some rumors from Xia Qingqing, it was still better to confirm it.
Situ He looked troubled and said, "There are too many people here. Would Young Master Song be willing to follow me to our stronghold?"
Song Qingshu and Xia Qingqing looked at each other. Noticing that the other nodded secretly, he smiled and said, "Since the last time we parted, Song Mou often missed Old Hero Situ's elegant demeanor. This time, Old Hero's invitation is more than I could ask for."
Situ He's face revealed a happy expression. He moved sideways to make way. "Please!"
"Youyou, come with me." Before leaving, Song Qingshu beckoned to Xia Qingqing. Noticing the hesitation on Situ He's face, he quickly explained, "She is my personal maid. She is one of us."
Xia Qingqing could not help but roll her eyes at him. She thought, "In any case, I am now the nominal mistress of the Golden Snake Battalion. Unexpectedly, I am called a maid in front of my subordinates. Humph, later, no matter what, I cannot take off my veil. Otherwise, I will lose face."
When Situ He heard this, he was even more speechless. He thought that if a maid was so charming, his junior sister might not have a chance.
Along the way, Song Qingshu and Situ He chatted about some things after they parted last time. Intentionally or unintentionally, he asked Situ Bolei why he was looking for him this time. Situ He always smiled but did not say anything. He just replied that everything would be answered by his father.
After arriving at Wangwu Faction's camp, Song Qingshu secretly nodded. Situ Bolei was indeed worthy of being the former Guanning Iron Cavalry. The whole camp's layout was strict. It was secretly integrated with the art of war. It was incomparable to the ordinary grass-bandit stronghold.
"Prince Song, this old man has finally waited for you to come." Situ Bolei had long received the news. He came out with a group of confidants from afar to greet him.
"Big Brother Song!" Zeng Rou's gentle voice was also full of surprise. But soon she noticed Xia Qingqing beside Song Qingshu. The smile on her face could not help but freeze.
"Old Hero Situ, Miss Zeng." Song Qingshu returned the greetings one by one.
Zeng Rou was originally worried about her gains and losses. She thought that a famous hero like him might not remember an ordinary little girl like her, even though she was touched and hugged by him at that time …
Thinking of the time when Song Qingshu broke into Mount Wangwu, in order to see her Shifu, he took her hostage and even threatened to take off her clothes, Zeng Rou's round face blushed. Although she hated him to death at that time, she later understood that it was just a misunderstanding. Song Qingshu did it to save Wangwu Faction.
Since then, in the dead of the night, Zeng Rou found that she could no longer forget the scene at that time. Even in her dreams, Song Qingshu jumped over the window and appeared in front of her.
Now that she heard that the person in her dreams still remembered her name, Zeng Rou felt extremely happy. Even the gloomy mood of seeing Xia Qingqing was swept away.
