Seeing the expressions on their faces, not only Chu Qinghe, but even Wang Yuyan standing to the side couldn't help but sigh.

Since its inception, the Beggars' Sect has been committed to eliminating beggars from the world. For hundreds of years, it has always upheld "loyalty and righteousness" as its core principles. If the Beggars' Sect is truly used by the Great Yuan Dynasty as a weapon to invade the Great Song Dynasty, how will the Beggars' Sect have any face to stand in the world in the future?

Even if the people of the Great Yuan Kingdom return all the Beggar Clan disciples they have used as promised, the Beggar Clan's reputation will be ruined, and they may even end up with a name that is despised by the martial arts world.

The impact on the Beggars' Sect was self-evident.

After pondering for a long time, Qiao Feng looked at Chu Qinghe and asked, "Is the Beggars' Sect's current predicament truly insurmountable?"

However, just as Qiao Feng finished speaking, before Chu Qinghe could respond, Hong Qigong sighed and said, "This time, all the experts from the Great Yuan Kingdom have come out in full force, and three experts at the Celestial Realm have gathered in the Great Song Kingdom. Their purpose is to target the Northern Shaolin Temple and the Beggar Clan."

"However, unlike the Northern Shaolin Temple, which has a deep foundation, the Beggar Clan's two strongest members are only the Old Beggar and Chief Qiao, both of whom are Grandmaster-level martial artists. To the Great Yuan Kingdom, the Beggar Clan is weak and easily manipulated."

"Even if the matter of the Northern Shaolin Temple fails and the Great Yuan Kingdom fails to destroy the Northern Shaolin Temple, it only needs to deter them or reach an agreement with the Northern Shaolin Temple. At that time, the Great Yuan Kingdom can still use my Beggars' Sect to trample the Great Song Dynasty."

"The Great Yuan Kingdom is determined to defeat the Beggars' Sect this time. Old Beggar and Chief Qiao alone are powerless to reverse the situation!"

After a brief pause, Hong Qigong looked at Chu Qinghe and said, "Unless Young Master Zhao is willing to help the Beggars' Sect overcome this hurdle."

Although Hong Qigong was also unaware of what had happened between Chu Qinghe, Bashiba, and Zhao Min.

But the fact that Chu Qinghe could arouse such fear in Zhao Min and Ba Shiba, and that they dared not do anything to him from beginning to end, already demonstrates Chu Qinghe's extraordinary nature.

Faced with the overwhelming force of the Great Yuan Kingdom, the two of them had no choice, but that didn't mean Chu Qinghe couldn't do it.

Seeing this, Chu Qinghe smiled slightly, then picked up the wine glass on the table and slowly said, "Since Chief Hong wants me to take action, Chief Hong also knows that there is never a free lunch in this world, right?"

Hearing Chu Qinghe's words, a glint flashed in Hong Qigong's eyes, and then he said in a deep voice, "I wonder what Young Master Zhao wants?"

Chu Qinghe spoke in a gentle, soothing voice, "What does Chief Hong think I would be interested in?"

Upon hearing this, Hong Qigong pondered for a moment and then said, "Young Master Zhao, are you also interested in the Beggars' Clan?"

In response to Hong Qigong's words, Chu Qinghe said, "Let's just say that for now!"

Upon hearing this, not only Qiao Feng and Hong Qigong, but even Shui Mu Yin Ji and Lian Xing and the other women beside them stared at Chu Qinghe in astonishment.

Meanwhile, the jellyfish Yin Ji standing next to Chu Qinghe seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

After a moment of contemplation, Hong Qigong asked, "The Great Yuan Kingdom wants the Beggars' Sect in order to conquer the Song Dynasty. I wonder what reason Young Master Zhao has for being interested in such a gang of poor and smelly beggars?"

Chu Qinghe said slowly, "With Senior Hong's intelligence, it shouldn't be difficult for him to guess my purpose."

Hong Qigong narrowed his eyes and asked, "The accents of Young Master Zhao and the ladies sound like they're from the Ming Dynasty. Could it be that you belong to the Ming royal family?"

After thinking for a moment, Chu Qinghe nodded and said, "Strictly speaking, I can also be considered to have such a status."

Shuimu Yinji and the other women were initially puzzled by Chu Qinghe's statement, but they quickly understood.

When Gongzi Yu hands over the throne of the Ming Dynasty next year, either Dongfang Bubai or Yaoyue will take over the palace.

As the Empress's man, Chu Qinghe could naturally be considered a member of the royal family.

But Hong Qigong was unaware of all of this.

But upon hearing what Chu Qinghe said, Hong Qigong's expression changed slightly.

After a moment, Hong Qigong shook his head and said with a wry smile, "I never expected that this time my Beggars' Sect would not only attract the Yuan Dynasty, but also the Ming Dynasty."

Taking in Hong Qigong's reaction, Chu Qinghe slowly said, "Although the martial arts world and the imperial court of various countries are intricately connected, they still maintain a clear distinction on the surface. The reason for this is that such actions bring both good and bad results."

"The Beggars' Sect has been operating in the Song Dynasty for hundreds of years. In the last few decades, under the leadership of Chief Hong and Brother Qiao, it has become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and is loved by the court and the people. It's just a pity that although the Beggars' Sect's original intention was not wrong, and even the things it did were for the benefit of the country and the people, it just lost its sense of proportion."

"In addition, the Song Dynasty was weak and the court was incompetent. The reputation that the Beggars' Sect had accumulated over the centuries became the Song Dynasty's greatest weakness."

Hong Qigong sighed and said, "A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime!"

Then, Hong Qigong looked at Chu Qinghe and said, "But since it's all about inviting wolves into the house, why does Young Master Zhao think the old beggar prefers to let the Ming Dynasty take over the Song Dynasty instead of the Yuan Dynasty?"

Chu Qinghe said calmly, "Firstly, after the Yuan Dynasty trampled the Song Dynasty, its goal was to occupy the Song Dynasty and expand its territory. What I want is not for the Ming Dynasty to take over the Song Dynasty, but to change the master of the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty will still be the Song Dynasty, and it will still be the Song Dynasty of the Han people. The people will still be the people of the Song Dynasty, and the court will no longer be controlled by those incompetent and foolish people."

"Secondly, once the Great Yuan Kingdom enters the Great Song Kingdom, not only will the country change hands, but the martial arts world of the Great Song Kingdom will also undergo tremendous changes. Forces like the Demon Master Palace and the Tantric Sect will inevitably rise in status. However, after I take control of the Great Song Kingdom, such a situation will not occur."
