Puzzled, Song Qingshu asked, "Aren't the two of you living in seclusion on Lingshe Island?"
"Lingshe Island is just a cover. We didn't stay there for long. However, there are times when we roam Jianghu and need an identity. Therefore, we husband and wife assumed the names of Grandmother Golden Flower and Mister Silver Leaf from Lingshe Island." Taitish explained.
"Small seclusion in the wilderness, big seclusion in the city. Hiding in the Jin Kingdom is indeed a good idea." Song Qingshu couldn't help but praise.
Having obtained his approval, Taitish smiled, instantly lighting up the room. "Qianye and I arrived at Daxing Prefecture. By chance, we met Wanyan Xi and his younger brother Wanyan Yuan, who hadn't become the Emperor yet. Both of them seemed to … adore me very much. After discussing with Qianye, we decided to disguise ourselves as brother and sister and deliberately approach the two. Their status in the Jin Kingdom is very high. Firstly, we could use them to accomplish Qianye's mission more conveniently. Secondly, by hiding among the Jin Royal Family, even if the Ming Dynasty were to find us in the future, we would have the ability to protect ourselves."
"Therefore, you married Changsheng Wang and became Lady Peach Blossom?" Song Qingshu had a strange expression on his face. This Han Qianye was truly magnanimous, allowing his wife to marry another man?
"That's right. At that time, Qianye and I were discussing who to marry. Coincidentally, we learned that Wanyan Xi was about to inherit the throne. We were worried that things would be inconvenient in the Imperial Palace so we chose Wanyan Yuan. It's laughable that the two of them were jealous of each other, thinking that I loved Wanyan Yuan more." Even though Taitish's mind was currently being controlled, the disdain in her cold smile was still evident.
Song Qingshu pondered, "You felt that Wanyan Yuan was easier to control?"
Taj-tish nodded slightly and said, "That's right. On our wedding night, he barged into the bridal chamber with an impatient expression. But considering my status, how could I allow such a stinky man to take advantage of me? Therefore, I used the Western Region Sleeping Smoke to knock him out. This strange Persian drug could even cause him to hallucinate, making him think that something had happened between us."
Song Qingshu glanced at Wanyan Xuan, who was lying on the bed with a silly smile on her face and drool dripping from the corner of her mouth. The Western Region Bewitching Smoke that she mentioned should be the pink smoke that had just come out of her mouth. Wanyan Yuan was really unlucky. He thought that he had married a beautiful consort for more than ten years, but from start to finish, he had never touched her body.
"Later on, I found an excuse to return to his fief. At that time, Wanyan Yuan loved me dearly and was worried that his brother Wanyan Xi would covet me, so he immediately agreed. However, he holds an important position in the imperial court and has to stay in the capital most of the time. This way, Chiba and I can live together in his fief … "Taitish continued to explain.
Even Song Qingshu felt some sympathy for that ever-victorious king. His head was almost as green as a grassland … Wait a minute, that doesn't seem to be considered green. Taj-tish and Han Chiba were husband and wife to begin with …
After thinking about it, Song Qingshu could only sigh, "The circle of nobles is really messy!"
"That period of time was the happiest of my life. Unfortunately, not long after, Chiba was poisoned by the Western Region Dhuta. We went to seek treatment from the Butterfly Bone Fairy Doctor, Hu Qingniu. Unfortunately, he refused to save her, saying that he wouldn't treat anyone outside of the Ming Dynasty. Chiba didn't last long before she passed away." A trace of hatred appeared on Taj-tish's face. "However, later on, I finally found an opportunity to kill Hu Qingniu and his wife to avenge Chiba …"
Song Qingshu nodded. According to the plot of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre, Zhang Wuji was suffering from the cold poison of the Xuan Ming Divine Palm at that time and was seeking treatment in the Butterfly Valley. The whole plot matched.
However, he was more concerned about the Western Region Dhuta who poisoned Han Qianye that Taj-tish mentioned. In his previous life, there were many analyses on the internet about this. The most reasonable speculation was that the Dhuta was the Ku Dhuta that the Right Emissary of Brightness, Fan Yao, had hidden in the Ruyang Palace in disguise.
Fan Yao was also smitten by Taj-tish back then. He was proud of his extraordinary looks. Coupled with his high status, even Yang Dingtian and his wife thought that they were a match made in heaven. Unfortunately, Taj-tish rejected him. That was fine. Due to the Persian Central Religion's rule that the Saintess must remain a virgin for the rest of her life, Fan Yao could understand even though he was depressed.
Who knew that Han Qianye would appear later on. Regardless of appearance or martial arts, he was far inferior to Han Qianye. In the end, Taj-tish fell in love with him without any hesitation. In order to marry him, she even betrayed the religion. How could the proud and arrogant Fan Yao stand it? His jealousy turned into hatred and he plotted against Han Qianye.
Song Qingshu didn't know if this was the truth, but he had no interest in redressing Han Qianye's injustice. He continued to ask, "But I received news that the Ming Dynasty of Persia came. After the Battle of Spirit Snake Island, didn't you and Xiao Zhao return to the Persian Central Religion?"
Taj-tish nodded. "Xiao Zhao is my daughter. According to the religion's rules, she automatically inherited my former Saintess status. In addition, when the Leader of the Persian Central Religion passed away, the people of the Persian Central Religion invited Xiao Zhao back to be the leader. It was also because of this relationship that I was spared the pain of being burned."
"After we returned to Persia, we found that the situation of the Religion was not optimistic. The Mongolian army had gradually destroyed the countries of the Western Regions, and even threatened the safety of the Persian Central Religion. We sent out countless experts in an attempt to assassinate the Mongolian leaders. Although we killed many Mongolian princes and generals, we were unable to harm their Khan, Temujin."
Song Qingshu was shocked. He didn't know how much blood and tears were contained in these simple words of hers. It was no wonder that the death rate of the Mongolian leaders in this world was so high. The second generation of the Golden Clan was almost completely wiped out, leaving only Temujin and a few princes of the third generation. It seemed that the reason why the Western Xia marriage selection was delayed was because of Xu Liewu's serious injury. However, one could imagine how many experts the Ming Dynasty of Persia had to sacrifice in order to assassinate so many Mongolian leaders.
Sure enough, Taj-tish's words confirmed his conjecture. "For thousands of years, the Persian Central Religion has maintained its position in the Western Regions. Even the duchies and feudal lords of Europe are scrambling to curry favor with us and act according to our will. The strength that the Central Religion has accumulated for thousands of years is far beyond that of the Ming Dynasty of the Central Plains. There are countless experts in the Religion. However, in order to assassinate the Mongolian leaders, the Religion has lost almost all of its experts. Even the previous Religion Master died in battle. When Xiao Zhao and I returned to Persia, the situation of the Religion was already extremely difficult. I suddenly remembered the arrangements that I had made in the Jin Kingdom and decided to return to the Central Plains. I wanted to use the Jin Kingdom to restrain the Mongolians and give the Religion a chance to breathe. "
Song Qingshu suddenly frowned and asked, "Did you not receive any instructions from the Revered Ming?" Since the Revered Ming had borrowed the body of Zhang Wuji to be reborn, he would definitely not sit by and watch as his base was destroyed by the Mongolians. He would definitely think of a way to contact the Religion.
"The Revered Ming?" Taj-tish was shocked. "Did the Revered Ming send an oracle?"
"It's nothing. Continue." Song Qingshu shook her head. It seemed that she didn't know about this matter. Perhaps she just happened to miss the news when she came to the Central Plains.
