Upon seeing Chu Qinghe return, Qu Feiyan, one of the women, immediately asked curiously, "Young Master, did you overhear something while you were with Pang Ban and the others?"
As soon as he spoke, Chu Qinghe tapped Qu Feiyan on the head with his folding fan.
"Can't you speak properly? What do you mean by eavesdropping? This is called probing."
Compared to Xiao Zhao and Lin Shiyin, Qu Feiyan's advantages are obvious.
That means being obedient.
However, the drawbacks are also quite significant.
No changes.
Having been hit so many times by Chu Qinghe's fan lately, Qu Feiyan ignored the spot on her head after being hit and asked again, "So, what have you discovered this time, young master?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe said, "It's nothing, just confirming Pang Ban's attitude and seeing if we should let him go down the mountain safely."
After all, Chu Qinghe and Pang Ban were not familiar with each other.
What if Pang Ban forgets the pain once the old poison has worn off and turns around and goes to Dongfang Bubai's side?
Qu Feiyan asked in confusion, "Since you don't trust Pang Ban, why don't you just get rid of him directly instead of letting him go?"
Before Chu Qinghe could respond, Shui Mu Yin Ji, who was standing next to him, suddenly said, "Pang Ban's master, Meng Chixing, had already reached the late stage of the Celestial Realm many years ago, and was a master like Zhang Zhenren. Now, his cultivation has probably reached the perfection of the Celestial Realm, and his strength is far above Pang Ban's."
"With so many people watching, if something happens to Pang Ban, Meng Chixing will definitely not let it go."
"Unless we are prepared to deal with Meng Chixing, killing Pang Ban will only bring us a bigger problem."
Listening to what the jellyfish Yin Ji said, Qu Feiyan couldn't help but sigh.
The longer one stays by Chu Qinghe's side, the more one can feel the complexity of the martial arts world.
For ordinary martial artists, the martial world is dangerous. Being in the martial world is like walking on thin ice, and one careless step can lead to death.
However, those with powerful backers, unless they go too far, will have to be somewhat cautious unless they can keep it completely secret.
Otherwise, not everyone in the martial arts world would want to join forces like the Wudang Sect or the Southern Shaolin Temple.
If you can't be your own support, you can only find someone to rely on.
Therefore, as long as one knows how to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune, one cannot avoid interpersonal relationships and social interactions anywhere.
Even in the martial arts world, this is true.
Then, Qu Feiyan looked at Chu Qinghe and said, "But young master, you deliberately showed Pang Ban and the others the token pattern of that 'Bad People' faction. Will Pang Ban and the others fall for it?"
Chu Qinghe said calmly, "We can't just tell Pang Ban that it was information given to us by Bai Xiaosheng, can we? Rather than making up a lie, it's better to dig a pit for us. What if Pang Ban really ends up clashing with those Bad People in the future?"
In life and in work, one should be good at preparing in advance.
Doing something doesn't guarantee a reward, but not doing anything guarantees no gain.
Anyway, Chu Qinghe just focused on digging the pit. As for whether Pang Ban and the Bad Guys would jump into it, that was up to fate.
At this moment, Lin Shiyin spoke up: "During your conversation with Pang Ban, young master, Pang Ban mentioned that the Azure Dragon Society promised to increase the number of Ming Dynasty troops stationed on the border a year later. Does this mean that the Yuan Dynasty intends to attack the Song Dynasty?"
Upon hearing this, the other girls immediately realized what was going on.
In response, Chu Qinghe slowly replied, "I think so!"
Upon hearing this, Qu Feiyan muttered, "Why would the Great Yuan Kingdom want to start a war?"
Chu Qinghe thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps it's a sense of crisis?"
"A sense of crisis?"
Faced with Chu Qinghe's words, Qu Feiyan and the other women all looked at Chu Qinghe with doubt.
Meeting the gazes of the women, Chu Qinghe slowly began to explain.
Currently, in terms of national strength, the Ming Dynasty and the Qin Dynasty can be said to be the most powerful.
Although it had only been a few years since Ying Zheng unified the six kingdoms and established the Qin Dynasty, the Qin cavalry and army were arguably the strongest in terms of combat power through the method of using war to sustain war.
Even the Ming Dynasty was slightly weaker.
Within the Tang Dynasty, although the Li clan also overthrew the Sui Dynasty and established the Tang Dynasty, their situation was completely different from that of the Qin Dynasty.
The Li clan seemingly replaced the Sui dynasty and took its place, but in reality, it shared the world with the three major clans within the Tang dynasty: the Yuwen clan, the Dugu clan, and the Song family of Lingnan. Among them, forces such as Cihang Jingzhai and the Yin Kui sect of the Demonic Clan could also be said to be ruling their own territories.
Compared to the Ming Dynasty and the Qin Dynasty, its national strength was relatively weak, and it could be said to be similar to the Yuan Dynasty.
Needless to say, the Song Dynasty was plagued by a long-standing military deficit, an empty treasury, and corrupt officials in power.
Over the past few decades, the country's strength has reached its lowest point.
Although the Tang Dynasty and the Qin Dynasty were stronger overall, they still had their own unresolved problems within their own countries.
It's always better to pick the soft persimmons as they're easier to squeeze.
Ying Zheng, the ruler of Qin, was extremely ambitious. He was a ruler who wanted to expand the territory, not one who wanted to maintain it. Once he had dealt with the internal problems of Qin, he would inevitably launch another war.
At that time, the only choices for the Great Qin would be the Great Yuan or the Great Song.
Therefore, any ruler of the Yuan Dynasty or the Song Dynasty who was even slightly intelligent would not sit idly by and wait for their doom.
Unfortunately, it seems that the Song Dynasty still has no preventative measures in place.
After hearing Chu Qinghe's words, Qu Feiyan suddenly realized, "If the Ming Dynasty increases the number of troops stationed on the border between the Ming Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty will inevitably assume that the Ming Dynasty is preparing for war and will also send reinforcements. When the Yuan Dynasty makes its move, the Song Dynasty will be in a situation where it is short of troops."
