Song Qingshu's eyes brightened. He cupped his hands and thanked Xiao Feng, "With King Xiao's help, I have more confidence."
Xiao Feng smiled. Liao was sandwiched between the Jin Kingdom and the Qing Kingdom and was in a precarious situation. Although Liao had shown signs of revival under his leadership, there was still a huge gap between the Jin Kingdom and the Qing Kingdom in terms of national strength. It was fortunate that they could protect themselves, but they were unable to recover their lost territory.
This time, the Qing Kingdom had launched a crusade against the Golden Snake Camp. Xiao Feng did not want to sit back and do nothing, so he quietly went south to the Golden Snake Camp. His initial plan was to protect the Golden Snake Camp from being annihilated by the Qing Kingdom. Now that he saw Song Qingshu suddenly become the new Golden Snake King, Xiao Feng sensed an opportunity. Maybe this time, he could make the Qing Kingdom suffer a setback.
However, the Kingdom of Liao was currently in a truce with the Manchurian Qing Dynasty. To be more precise, it was a truce with Wu Sangui. However, Xiao Feng still felt that it was not convenient for him to help Song Qingshu as the King of the South Yard. Therefore, he declared that he would only participate in the war in his own name. Song Qingshu naturally did not mind.
"I wonder if Fourth Niangzi is willing to help?" Seeing that Yang Miaozhen had not left, Song Qingshu felt more confident. However, she was a woman. He could not let her take the initiative to ask for his help. He still had to give her face.
As expected, Yang Miaozhen smiled. She did not reject his invitation, but she did not agree either, "I wonder what benefits I will get if I help?"
Song Qingshu showed an embarrassed expression, "If Fourth Niangzi doesn't mind, I can repay you with my body."
Even though Yang Miaozhen was used to all kinds of boorish men in Jianghu, she still could not resist Song Qingshu's shamelessness. She blushed and hurriedly said, "Who wants your body? As long as you promise to do one thing for me in the future, I will stay and help you once."
"It's this kind of play again. It's not easy to owe a favor." To Yang Miaozhen's surprise, Song QingShu didn't rush to agree. Instead, he asked, "How many people did the Fourth Lady bring this time?"
"Three hundred." Yang Miaozhen said proudly. "Although there aren't many of them, they are all the most elite warriors of the Red Coat Army."
"Three hundred people in exchange for a favor from me? This is a bit of a loss." Seeing Yang Miaozhen's frown, Song Qingshu changed the topic. "But even if it's only Fourth Niangzi, it's worth it. Okay, deal!"
Yang Miaozhen was furious in her heart. Originally, she was about to turn around and leave, but when she heard the second half of his compliments, her expression softened a little. She could not help but snort to express her dissatisfaction.
Song QingShu smiled bitterly to himself. To be honest, he really didn't want to owe favors so easily. In the original "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre", Zhang Wuji owed Zhao Min three favors and was almost killed by her …
However, now that he had suddenly become the leader of the Golden Snake Battalion like a paratrooper, the leaders of the various mountains all had ulterior motives. Although he wasn't a loner, he wasn't much better off. Naturally, he had to make full use of all the forces he could use.
Seeing that they had so many strong reinforcements, Zhang SongXi and Yin Liting looked at each other and were extremely gratified. Suddenly, they noticed that Huang Rong was standing at the side with a faint smile on her face. Zhang SongXi's heart skipped a beat. If he could get the help of this female Zhuge, then Song Qingshu would have a higher chance of surviving this crisis. Thus, he took the initiative to invite her, "I wonder if Madam Guo would be willing to stay and help us?"
"This …" Huang Rong looked awkward. After all, there was such a big scandal between the two of them. If she were to stay and help him, then it would become a bad name in the pugilistic world.
"Madam's wisdom is unparalleled. If you are willing to stay and help, Song Mou would be extremely grateful." Song Qingshu came in front of her with a sincere expression.
Huang Rong was keenly aware that the way Song Qingshu asked her was somewhat different from the way he asked Yang Miaozhen. He asked Yang Miaozhen if she was willing to stay, but he asked her with a sincere invitation. It was clear at a glance who was more important to him.
In fact, according to Huang Rong's personality, at this time, she would take the opportunity to blackmail him and extract some benefits. However, now that she had become the respected Madam Guo, she still had to take care of her face in her behavior.
Yang Miaozhen was originally a female mountain bandit, so no one would be surprised if she talked about conditions with him. However, if she also talked about conditions at this time, it would be too …
Huang Rong was depressed. In fact, with her intelligence, it was very easy for her to find a reason to refuse. Moreover, she would not be criticized by other sects. For example, Song Qingshu had killed an elder of the Beggar Gang. As the former Beggar Gang Leader, she could not disappoint the Beggar Gang members. Or, now that the Southern Song Dynasty had signed an alliance agreement with the Manchurian Qing Dynasty, her identity was sensitive. If the two countries were to go to war again because of this, it would be difficult for her to absolve herself from the blame …
In that instant, Huang Rong's mind flashed with a few different reasons to decline, but in the end, she still nodded her head, "Now that the northern … er, the Manchurian Qing are wreaking havoc in the Central Plains, we Han people should help each other out. I will not shirk my duty."
Originally, she was going to say that the northern foreign tribes were wreaking havoc in the Central Plains. Halfway through her words, she keenly realized that Xiao Feng and his group were also present. She hurriedly changed her words. However, Xiao Feng was an open-minded person, so he smiled slightly and did not mind.
"Thank you for your kindness, Madam!" Song Qingshu was immediately overjoyed.
What was kindness?
Huang Rong had a strange expression on her face. She felt that he had deliberately used such an incomparably ambiguous term. However, seeing his righteous expression and the lack of reaction from the others, Huang Rong felt that she might be thinking too much.
Just as Huang Rong was worrying about personal gains and losses, Song Qingshu invited them and the leaders of the Golden Snake Camp to the hall to discuss matters.
"This time, I mainly want to hear everyone's opinions on how to deal with the encirclement and suppression of the Manchurian Qing Dynasty." Sitting on the chair at the head of the hall, Song Qingshu was a little excited. However, he soon laughed involuntarily. He had even sat on the Dragon Throne, so this chair was nothing to him.
Hearing Song Qingshu's inquiry, the people who stayed behind to help looked thoughtful. They were not in a hurry to express their opinions. The leaders of the Golden Snake Camp were not sure about Song Qingshu's intentions, so they did not dare to speak for a moment.
Thinking that he had long pledged his loyalty to the Five Mountain Sword Faction's Left Alliance Leader, Gai Mengchang and Meng Bofei understood that it was time for them to do something. After all, they could not really let Song Qingshu completely subdue all the mountains.
Meng Bofei had always been kind and charitable, and was quite famous in Jianghu. He was not afraid that Song Qingshu would suddenly make things difficult for him, so he coughed and said in a clear voice,
"I think we should follow the old practice and divide the troops into small groups and hide in the mountains. Although the Tatar army is powerful, it consumes the Tatar Imperial Court's money and provisions every day. They will withdraw before long …"
Listening to him, Huang Rong frowned slightly. Although Meng Bofei's words were not without reason, there was not the slightest hint of respect in his tone. It was obvious that he did not take Song Qingshu, the new boss, seriously. Moreover, he was deliberately mentioning the old practice for Song Qingshu, who was a latecomer.
Huang Rong could not help but look worriedly at Song Qingshu. She was worried that he would choose to attack without saying a word. After all, with the methods he used to deal with Grandmaster Shili, it was not impossible.
