Yu Bu Tong asked, "Although the Khan has agreed to our three-party alliance, does he want to sit on the sidelines and watch the fire from the other side? Let Songxia fight the Great Jin first to see who wins and who loses, and then decide which side to join forces with?"
Hebule was shocked by what he heard and sighed, "To be honest, even if our Mongol Empire wanted to join forces, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to do it.

Hebule was overjoyed. He stood up and hugged Yu Bu Tong. "You are an angel sent by heaven to help the Mengwu Kingdom. Do you have any way to capture Xingchen Jiu?"
