Chapter 306: The County Lord and the Princess
"Your trip to the south is full of dangers, and I still don't waste your skills. After a moment of silence, Twilight shook her head.
"That's right. Song Qingshu was thoughtful and also silent.
"One of you blushing and the other white-faced, what kind of dumb riddle are you playing?" Xia Qingqing was confused when she heard this, and couldn't help but ask.
"Nothing. As soon as the two spoke, they couldn't help but smile at each other when they saw that the other person said the same thing.
At that moment, Song Qingshu felt that she understood Dongfang Duxue's concerns, she didn't want to turn the relationship between the two into a transaction, so she rejected his hints.
Song Qingshu also realized that it was too naΓ―ve to want to subdue Dongfang Duxue just by relying on the relationship between skin and skin, and now the day and night are opposite to that exquisite and perfect face, and it is easy to ignore that the master is actually the undefeated Dongfang who is decisive in killing. If she really had other thoughts, a simple membrane would not be able to play the role of insurance at all, not to mention that with Dongfang Duxue's temperament, that membrane might have been destroyed by her own hands......
"Well, when the Snow Maiden needs to heal her wounds, even if she speaks, she is willing to do the work of dogs and horses, and she must do her best and die. Thinking about it, Song Qingshu was no longer entangled, since Dongfang Duxue was willing to guide her hands to explore the most important place before, she had already made enough statements, and she didn't need to make an inch.
"What nonsense~" Hearing the words like "Bow to the end of your life", Dongfang Duxue naturally knew what Song Qingshu meant, and couldn't help but glance at him.
Although Xia Qingqing couldn't understand the code words between the two, the woman's natural sensitivity made her quickly perceive the crisis, so she urged Song Qingshu to leave south as soon as possible.
Although Song Qingshu was reluctant to give up the incomparably beautiful style in the palace, he understood that there were two more women around him, Dongfang Duxue and Xia Qingqing, and he might not be able to enjoy it as much as before, not to mention that he knew that the business was important, and in the next few days, the three of them accelerated the speed of discussion, and after consciously considering all the details of this plan, Song Qingshu and Xia Qingqing embarked on a journey south to Shandong together.
"Brother Song, what is the origin of that Snow Maiden?"
Xia Qingqing has always been curious about Dongfang Duxue, whose identity is mysterious, and a few days after leaving Yanjing City, she couldn't help but wonder in her heart anymore and asked.
"She's a strange woman with big ambitions. β
Song Qingshu didn't know how to introduce Dongfang Duxue's identity, could it be that she told Xia Qingqing that she was Dongfang Undefeated who killed your husband?
"It turns out that she has such a high status in Brother Song's heart. There was no lack of vinegar in Xia Qingqing's tone.
"Youyou, you are different from her, to me, she is more like a partner who is also friend and foe, but you are the person I trust the most. Song Qingshu didn't tell a lie, so many things have happened between the two, and the relationship has long been comparable to ordinary women.
"Brother Song~" Xia Qingqing's heart was sweet, and his eyes were full of admiration when he looked at Song Qingshu, and even his voice was a little crispy.
"It's been so long, let's go to the front inn to eat and rest. Song Qingshu held Xia Qingqing's soft little hand and pointed to a restaurant not far away.
"Hmm. Xia Qingqing nodded sweetly.
"What do you want to eat, officer? Our food and wine here are the most famous within a radius of a hundred miles. As soon as the two entered the door, the shopkeeper greeted him diligently, and many years of experience made him see at a glance that the two of them must be big customers, the male is magnificent, the female is charming and colorful, and the texture of the clothes is exquisite, and the shot must be extremely generous.
Song Qingshu didn't disappoint him, after staying in a quiet place and sitting down, he picked up the most expensive and exquisite dishes and the best wine in their shop, not that Song Qingshu set up the score, but that he was used to life in the palace, and anything he ordered would not be cheap.
Not long after the two settled down, there was a sudden commotion at the door. A pair of men and horses rushed in, and the first was a few warriors in strong suits, each with a bow on their backs and an arrow bag at their waists, and as soon as they entered, they guarded each vital place.
A man in brocade clothes walked in with a beautiful woman surrounded by everyone, the woman was over thirty years old, but did not leave traces of the years, the body was graceful, the appearance was handsome, although the boy in brocade clothes on the side was dressed in men's clothes, but his appearance was abnormal, his eyes were black and white, his eyes were clear, and the hand holding the woman had a complexion like white jade, and everyone could see that she was a woman dressed as a man.
"This man's ability to disguise herself as a man needs to be improved. "Xia Qingqing used to walk the rivers and lakes, for the sake of convenience, she often changed her men's clothes, and few people could see through it, even the dignified Five Poisons Sect Leader He Tieshou was lost under her handsome appearance. Therefore, Xia Qingqing naturally didn't look down on the ability of this brocade boy, and couldn't help but purse her lips and chuckle.
She didn't deliberately hide the fact that she was a woman. Song Qingshu sighed, but was surprised in her heart, how did she get here.
"Auntie, you look depressed all day long, and your niece is so distressed in her eyes. This time I went to Jiangnan, so I begged the Great Khan to let my aunt come out to relax, and my aunt wouldn't blame me. The boy in brocade sat down in a window seat with the beautiful woman in his arms, and a looming pear vortex appeared at the corner of his lips.
"Who in the whole grassland doesn't know Minmin, you are clever, and my aunt doesn't believe that you really don't know about me," the beautiful woman snorted, looked at the green branches outside the window, and sighed lightly, "Jiangnan is my aunt's sad place, I originally planned to be lonely in the desert for the rest of my life and never set foot in the Central Plains, but I didn't expect that after only ten years, my aunt broke the oath of the day." β
"Auntie, how many good men are there on the grassland, why should you indulge in a past relationship. I have also heard about the events of that year, the Great Khan was very kind to him, and he also married your aunt to him. How do you know that as soon as this person enters the Central Plains, he will empathize and say goodbye, and he also conceals the marriage contract and runs to Peach Blossom Island to ask for marriage, he is really a person who is not lucky, and the Song people still serve him as a great man, hum. The young man in brocade felt that this poor aunt was not worth it, and the more he talked about it, the more angry he became.
The beautiful woman shook her head lightly, stopping the brocade-clothed young man from continuing: "He was originally from the Song Dynasty, and it is understandable to oppose the Great Khan for the sake of the Song court. What's more, my aunt was confused for a while and indirectly killed his mother, speaking of which, I'm more sorry for him. Nearly 20 years have passed since this incident, and it still hurts so much to mention her at this time.
Seeing the sad look between his aunt's eyebrows, the young man in brocade said angrily: "It is true that he is a Song person, but Mongolia took him in when his mother and son were desperate, and worked hard to raise him for more than ten years.
The young man in brocade clothes would not have been so out of shape, but her aunt's relationship evoked a hateful thing in her heart, which made her inevitably a little excited.
"I don't understand these national righteousness, since he chose this way, he must have his own reasons. The beautiful woman's expression darkened, "What happened later is just that each is its own master, and Min Min should also be deeply aware of it." β
A wry smile appeared on the face of the brocade-clothed young man: "We are all in love with a Han Chinese, and unfortunately, they are all incompatible with my Mongol Empire. β
The beautiful woman patted the back of her hand lightly to show comfort, and her expression was inevitably embarrassed.
With Song Qingshu's skills at this time, although the two girls talked in a whisper, they could hear it clearly, and they couldn't help but know in their hearts that the son of brocade was naturally Zhao Min, and the older woman should be Princess Huazheng who had a marriage contract with Guo Jing back then.
Just crossed into this world, and had a relationship with Zhao Min in Shaomu Mountain, looking at the proud daughter of the sky who was as bright as a rose in the past, but now there is a trace of haggard color between his eyebrows, Song Qingshu recalled all the things before, and his eyes couldn't help but become a little dazed.
"Brother Song, what's wrong with you?" Xia Qingqing looked at him strangely, "Could it be that you know them?"
"If you have a relationship, you don't know each other. Song Qingshu shook his head, thinking that once upon a time, he was planning to conquer Zhao Min to take revenge on Zhang Wuji, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
"I don't know what their plans are to go south to the Central Plains this time. Song Qingshu fell into deep thought.
"National Teacher, you have fought with Guo Jing many times, in your opinion, is Guo Jing a true gentleman or a hypocrite?" Zhao Min suddenly turned around and looked at a yellow-robed monk beside him and asked.
Song Qingshu saw Zhao Min's respectful tone, and couldn't help but look at it curiously, only to see that the monk's body was like a bamboo pole, tall but extremely thin, his head was slightly sunken, like a saucer, holding a wheel-shaped weapon in his elbow, and he was shocked: Could it be the Golden Wheel Dharma King? Isn't he the number one master under Kublai Khan, how can he be with Zhao Min, the daughter of the King of Ruyang?
It is no wonder that Song Qingshu was suspicious, Temujin was old, and the next Great Khan had not yet been decided, and the kings' minds were all ready to move. The most powerful kings are none other than Kublai Khan who passed through the Central Plains, Hulegu who marched westward, Ali Buge who stayed behind in the steppe, and Cha Khan, the king of Ruyang who passed through the Western Regions. Tsahan had always maintained a neutral attitude towards the situation of the kings' rivalry, and now that Kublai Khan's men and Zhao Min were mixed up, Song Qingshu inevitably wondered whether Tsahan had secretly formed an alliance with Kublai Khan.
In fact, this is also Song Qingshu's thoughts, King Jinlun's trip is to protect Hua Zheng and not Zhao Min. Although Temujin had many sons, he had only four sons-in-law, Jochi, Chagatai, Kowotai, and Torre.
In the process of the Mongol conquest of the world, they died one after another, and the descendants of each line also suffered heavy losses, and the current situation is that the Torre family is dominant, Kublai Khan, Hulegu, and Ali Buge, and now the most powerful princes are the sons of Torrey.
Hua Zheng is Temujin's only surviving concubine, and she has always had the best relationship with Torre, and her status is transcendent. When he learned that she was going south to the Central Plains, Kublai Khan immediately sent his first master, King Jinlun, to protect her safety, and it is unknown whether he had the intention of taking the opportunity to curry favor with this aunt.
"Back to Lord Shaomin, Guo Jing is indeed a righteous gentleman. Hearing Zhao Min's inquiry, King Jinlun hesitated for a moment, and finally said.
"As his enemy, the national teacher has commented like this, and it is not bad to think about it. This person is proficient in the art of war, has strong martial arts, and has won the hearts of the people, which is really a great trouble for Mongolia. Zhao Min was silent for a moment, and his red lips were revealed, "Dare to ask the national teacher, how is that Guo Jing's martial arts compared to the national teacher?"
