After confirming that Chu Qinghe truly intended to conquer the Great Song Dynasty, the women all looked surprised.

Qu Feiyan couldn't help but ask, "Young Master, weren't you not very interested in the Great Song Dynasty before? Why are you suddenly interested in its territory again?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe said irritably, "Before, the conditions weren't right, so naturally I wasn't very interested. But now, isn't someone offering the Beggars' Clan right to our doorstep?"

Hearing Chu Qinghe's words, Shuimu Yinji asked in confusion, "Is the Beggars' Sect really that influential?"

In response, Chu Qinghe shook his head and said, "In fact, it is not difficult to obtain the world of the Great Song Dynasty. If you want to obtain the throne, you can simply sneak into the palace and quietly eliminate the experts and the emperor."

"The most difficult part is how to govern the world."

After pausing for a moment, Chu Qinghe continued, "The Great Song Dynasty is not like the Great Ming Dynasty. It can be said to be a complete mess. Not only are there top-tier forces like the Northern Shaolin in the martial arts world, but the imperial court is also corrupt and decadent. The entire Great Song Dynasty can be said to be riddled with holes."

"Those who are not in a position should not concern themselves with its affairs." Since he wanted to be emperor, he should have considered the common people and the entire country. Given Yaoyue and Dongfang's personalities, they should either not be emperors at all, or they should be the best emperors.

However, governing a country is not an easy task. Facing Dongfang Bubai or Yaoyue, the officials in the court are a major problem.

Unless it's a direct attack like the Yuan Dynasty, followed by a change of dynasty, all problems will naturally be solved.

Otherwise, how easy would it be to take over the Song Dynasty?

Putting aside everything else, the officials of the Song Dynasty alone were incompetent at handling political affairs, but they were masters at deceiving their superiors and subordinates.

Now, externally, the Great Yuan Kingdom is helping to deal with the Northern Shaolin Temple, clearing away obstacles in the martial arts world.

Internally, the Beggars' Sect, with its vast number of disciples covering every prefecture and county of the entire Song Dynasty, could play a significant role, whether as an informant to monitor the entire country or as a tool to incite public opinion and create momentum.

However, if one could control the Beggars' Sect, it would greatly help in governing and managing the entire Song Dynasty, significantly reducing the difficulty.

After Chu Qinghe explained all this to the women, they finally understood why Chu Qinghe valued the Beggars' Sect.

Suddenly, Lianxing asked in confusion, "But can't the Hundred Knowledge Pavilion do the same things?"

Hearing Lianxing's question, Chu Qinghe replied irritably, "Can the power of others be the same as one's own power?"

Upon hearing this, Lianxing scratched her head and said, "That's true!"

As he spoke, Chu Qinghe chuckled and said, "However, I didn't expect to be so lucky as to happen to run into the Beggars' Sect's conference. Now that I've met Eighth Master Ba in person, I have a reason to persuade Hong Qigong."

If it were just a casual spectacle, Chu Qinghe would have simply informed Qiao Feng and Hong Qigong the moment he realized someone had poisoned the apricot grove.

Why wait for Zhao Min and the others to appear?

However, thinking about what happened today, Chu Qinghe couldn't help but laugh.

So, when luck is on your side, there's no stopping it.

Chu Qinghe didn't have much interest in the Song Dynasty, but luckily, he came to Xingzilin to pick some herbs and ended up at the Beggars' Sect gathering.

Furthermore, they encountered the Living Buddha Bashiba of the Great Yuan Dynasty and learned about the Great Yuan Dynasty's plans.

After successfully administering the medicine to Bashiba, there was nothing more for Chu Qinghe to worry about in the Great Yuan Kingdom.

If the situation regarding the Northern Shaolin Temple by the Great Yuan Kingdom unfolds as Chu Qinghe predicted, then the Great Song Kingdom will indeed be within easy reach.

At that time, Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue will each have one in the two countries of the Great Song and the Great Ming, thus eliminating one more reason for fighting and arguing.

Thinking about it, Chu Qinghe couldn't help but sigh softly.

Suddenly I understand the meaning of the phrase "I've worried myself sick over this family".

Beside her, after understanding Chu Qinghe's thoughts, Lianxing couldn't help but sigh, "Brother-in-law is so considerate! He's always thinking about the people around him. I wonder if he'll treat me like that in the future?"

As Lianxing looked at Chu Qinghe, her gaze gradually became infatuated, as if she had thought of something.

At the same time, noticing Lianxing's infatuated look at Chu Qinghe, Shuimu Yinji raised an eyebrow.

Seeing how Lianxing was looking at Chu Qinghe, Shuimu Yinji couldn't help but feel a familiar shadow once again.

After all, she herself back then, and even now, is just like Lianxing now, able to lose herself completely when looking at the man beside her.

"Um?"

However, at that moment, a thought suddenly flashed through Jellyfish Yin Ji's mind.

"No, Second Sister is Lianxing's older sister. The moment I saw Qinghe, Second Sister was able to see through my intentions towards Qinghe. It's impossible that she couldn't see through Lianxing's intentions."

"So, the reason Second Sister let Lianxing come out with us this time was to deliberately let Lianxing have more contact with Qinghe and lay the foundation for their relationship."

“If we were at home, once Lianxing showed her feelings for Chu Qinghe, Dongfang Bubai would never agree to let Lianxing enter Chu Qinghe’s courtyard as a sister. But if we were out and about, and she was all alone, things would go much more smoothly.”

You should know that it was when Yaoyue was guarding the house that he took advantage of the situation to invade.

With this bond in place, and given that Lianxing's current behavior is remarkably similar to that of the Water Mother Yin Ji back then.

If the Water Mother Yin Ji prevents Lian Xing and Chu Qing He from being together, Yao Yue will be displeased, and even the obedient demeanor she had maintained before will crumble.

Moreover, once Lianxing successfully changes her identity and moves into Chu Qinghe's courtyard, if Dongfang Bubai wants to hold someone accountable, he will definitely bear the main responsibility, and Dongfang Bubai will not be able to blame Yaoyue.

After sending Lianxing to Chu Qinghe's side, the sisters joined forces, which also prevented Dongfang Bubai from finding fault with them and mocking them.

That's not all.

Once Lianxing arrives at Chu Qinghe's courtyard, even if Yaoyue is handling affairs in the palace, she will be able to learn about what happens in Chu Qinghe's courtyard every day through Lianxing.

This can be described as killing three birds with one stone.

Thinking of this, Jellyfish Yin Ji took a deep breath.

"As expected, I underestimated my second sister before. Compared to my eldest sister, my second sister is the most insidious."

Now here's the question.

Should I obstruct it, or turn a blind eye?

As her thoughts raced, Jellyfish Yin Ji suddenly felt a pang of melancholy on her face.

This melancholy wasn't because of Lianxing's problem.

More importantly, Princess Yin discovered that it would be much more difficult for her to rise to power than she had previously imagined.

Moreover, since Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue are both so intelligent, many of Shuimu Yinji's previous ideas had to be abandoned and needed to be reconsidered.

"However, judging from Lianxing's current conservative demeanor, she doesn't seem to understand the true meaning behind her elder sister's decision to bring her along. If we could do her a favor and secretly bring her to my side to help me in the future..."
