Song Qingshu said with a smile, "Because I thought of the legendary female ghost. Female demons are generally very affectionate, so I wanted to come here to try my luck and see if I could have a romantic encounter. Hehe, I didn't expect that I would really run into one. "
Zhao Min blushed and couldn't help but spit, "Bah, a dog's mouth really can't spit out ivory."
"Why don't you spit it out for me to see?" Seeing Zhao Min frown, Song Qingshu quickly said, "Okay, okay, let's get down to business. It's so late, why are you looking for me? "
"I'm playing the guqin here, and you came here by yourself. How am I looking for you?" Zhao Min snorted, and her voice was clear and moving.
"Keep bragging. It's late at night, and you just happened to come to the place where I was passing by to play the guqin. If you don't have any ulterior motives, who would believe it?" Song Qingshu sat down next to her and looked at her with disdain.
"Hey!" Seeing him come over, Zhao Min suddenly stood up as if she was scalded, "I was wondering why you were so annoying."
"Are you going to tell me or not? If you don't, I'll leave." Thinking that there were still two beautiful women waiting for him at home, Song Qingshu didn't have the patience to accompany Zhao Min here.
Zhao Min couldn't help wrinkling her nose and snorted, "I know that you're worried about the lack of enough support from the mountain leaders, so I came to help you out of kindness. Is this how you treat me?"
"Don't talk to me in that disgusting tone." Song Qingshu felt a chill and quickly waved his hand, "How can you be so kind? Tell me, what's the exchange?"
Song Qingshu knew that Zhao Min had always been a strategist, a great strategist, and an extremely rational and mature politician. He wasn't Zhang Wuji, so how could she talk to him in such a delicate tone?
Zhao Min must have something to ask of him.
It was no wonder that Zhao Min had coincidentally waited here. Her intelligence agency must've found out that the Golden Dragon Gang had refused to allow him to participate in the election. So, she had analyzed the situation a little, and knew that he would come to investigate. Therefore, she had been waiting here for a long time.
As for why she didn't intercept him before he entered the Golden Dragon Gang, it was obviously because she would have more bargaining chips if he returned empty-handed.
"Don't make it sound like I'm begging you," Zhao Min said angrily. "According to my calculations, you only have the support of four mountains. You still need two more to qualify for the Golden Snake King election. Nowadays, the competition between the major mountain peaks is very fierce. Moreover, your martial arts are so high. Who would be willing to have a strong competitor like you? If I'm not wrong, you won't get any support even if you pay a visit to the other mountain chiefs. "
Song Qingshu's complexion sank. He knew that she was speaking the truth. This was what he was most worried about. If he didn't have the qualifications, then it would be in vain even if he had the ability to transcend the heavens.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll become the Golden Snake King if you support me?" Song Qingshu asked curiously.
"I'm eager for you to become the Golden Snake King," Zhao Min blurted out. She noticed the strange look in Song Qingshu's eyes and hurriedly explained, "Don't let your imagination run wild. You also know that it will be our Ruyang Mansion's turn to deal with the Manchurian Qing soon. If the new Golden Snake King is mediocre, then the Golden Snake Battalion will be easily disposed of by the Manchurian Qing imperial court. Then, we'll have a headache."
Song Qingshu suddenly realized, "So, you need the Golden Snake Battalion to exist all the time. Do you want to divert the Manchurian Qing's attention and waste their military supplies?" He snickered in his heart. If Zhao Min finds out that I'm also 'Kangxi', won't she die of anger?
"That's right!" Zhao Min admitted frankly, "On the surface, I'm going to the south as a diplomatic envoy to the Southern Song Dynasty. In reality, I want to support a spokesperson for the Golden Snake Battalion. Originally, I wanted to look for the Fourth Lady of the Red Coat Army, Yang Miaozhen. Who knew that they'd already formed an alliance with the Sun Moon Sect."
Zhao Min's expression was obviously extremely angry. It was as if her beloved toy had been snatched away by someone else.
"Why aren't you willing to support the Red Coat Army and the Sun Moon Sect after they've formed an alliance?" Song Qingshu asked curiously.
Zhao Min snorted, "I naturally have my reasons. You don't have to worry about it."
Song Qingshu nodded, "Alright, then tell me what condition you want me to agree to."
"Accompany me to meet someone later." The faint moonlight shone through the gaps between the pine leaves and onto Zhao Min's flawless face. It made her look like a fairy that had fallen into the mortal world. Unfortunately, her expression was solemn and there was a hint of killing intent in it.
"Who is it?" Song Qingshu asked curiously.
Zhao Min hesitated for a long time. Finally, her red lips parted slightly, and she faintly spat out three words, "Zhang Wuji."
Song Qingshu's expression changed slightly, and he also became silent.
"Is Zhang Wuji nearby now?" Thinking of his recent fight with Zhang Wuji, Song Qingshu had a definite answer.
"Why do you need someone to accompany you when you're going to see Zhang Wuji?" Song Qingshu suddenly asked curiously. Normally, when couples meet, the more private the better. They were afraid of being seen by outsiders. However, Zhao Min did the opposite.
An inexplicable sadness flashed through Zhao Min's eyes. She revealed a mournful smile, "He's the leader of the Ming Dynasty, and I'm the princess of Mongolia. Mongolia and the Ming Dynasty are at war now. I have to be on guard so that he doesn't take me as a hostage."
"How could Zhang Wuji bear to take you as a hostage?" Hearing Zhao Min's excuse that was full of loopholes, Song Qingshu subconsciously thought of this. However, seeing that she had something to hide, he didn't ask.
"Then why didn't you find your subordinates to accompany you?" Song Qingshu was indeed curious. Currently, Zhao Min's subordinates could be said to be full of masters. Priest Baisang, the leader of the Jin Gang, and Jinlun Fawang were all super masters. The Xuanming Elders were not weak either. Why didn't she bring more trustworthy subordinates and instead came to him?
As he thought about it, Song Qingshu even began to suspect that this could be a trap set by Zhao Min. She wanted to use this opportunity to surround and kill him.
"There are some things that I don't want them to know." Zhao Min's face was expressionless as she said coldly, "Are you going or not?"
"Yes, of course I'm going." Since Zhao Min could provide enough support for the mountain leaders, what harm would there be in making a trip? Even if there was an ambush, with his current martial arts and unparalleled lightness skill, it should be more than enough to protect himself.
"Then let's go." Zhao Min flicked her sleeves and left.
"Sigh." Looking at the zither beside her, it was clearly not an ordinary item. Song Qingshu felt sorry for her, "You're just going to leave this zither here?"
Zhao Min's figure paused, and in the end, it turned into a faint sigh, "Without a bosom friend, who will know when the string is broken …"
"What a spendthrift woman." Song Qingshu couldn't help but mutter, and hurriedly followed, "I say, what happened between you and Zhang Wuji?"
"I don't know either." Zhao Min shook her head lightly.
"You don't know?" Song Qingshu was stunned.
Zhao Min forced a smile, "I have a lot of doubts in my heart too, so I'm going to clarify it now."
