Wang Jiuling was completely unafraid. With a flick of his sleeve, he used his inner energy to push the two women back.

He looked at the Mongol soldiers around him with an expression that seemed more like he was about to swat ants than to fight.

Just as the two sides were about to engage in a fierce fight.

"Don't make a move, don't make a move!" In the distance, Kublai Khan sent his personal guards, who were following Wang Jiuling, to run over.

Upon seeing this scene, he looked somewhat flustered.

"What, what happened?" At this moment, the centurion was helped up from the ground. Even with just a gentle push, Wang Jiuling dislocated the centurion's right arm.

At this moment, he was in so much pain that his face turned deathly pale, and he sobered up.

"This Taoist priest dared to ruin my plans! And he even hit me!" These words enraged the surrounding Mongol soldiers even more.

Some even drew their swords.

The guards quickly stepped in front of Wang Jiuling and looked at the centurion who was being helped up.

"No! He is a guest of Prince Kublai Khan. If you make a move while the prince is away, no one will be able to explain themselves to him when he returns!"

"Have you forgotten the prince's orders?!"

Upon hearing the name Kublai Khan, the Mongol soldiers exchanged bewildered glances, their expressions turning grim.

Feeling the sharp pain in his shoulder, the centurion's expression hardened. "This Song man hit me, and you think we can just let it go?!"

Even if Kublai Khan himself were here, he would still owe us an explanation!

Wang Jiuling was already very impatient. His body was surging with true energy, and his robes were moving even though there was no wind.

Cold sweat dripped down the guard's forehead, and he shook his head resolutely.

"Even so, it should be Prince Kublai Khan's decision, not ours. This is a military order! Are you going to disobey it!?"

In fact, this personal guard did not hold a high military rank, but he was a man close to Kublai Khan, and these Mongol soldiers did not dare to offend him easily.

After much persuasion, they finally gritted their teeth and stepped back, putting away their knives.

"We'll demand justice when the prince returns!" the centurion declared before being helped away.

Before leaving, he glanced at the two women, his eyes filled with malice. "Hmph! You wait! This Taoist priest can't protect you forever! You're not leaving here!!"

The surrounding Mongol soldiers were also keeping a close eye on the two women.

Wang Jiuling watched this scene quietly, watching the centurion being helped away.

He didn't kill them immediately because if he did, it would inevitably cause a riot in the Mongol camp.

He can walk on his own, but it's not good for him to take these two women with him. He's already rescued them, and it wouldn't be good to leave them behind later.

However, that centurion, like Liu Yi, was also completely blacklisted by Wang Jiuling.

The surrounding Mongol soldiers gritted their teeth and retreated, and only then did the personal guard breathe a sigh of relief.

Wang Jiuling turned to look at the two women, who were now terrified and huddled together.

"Who are you? What are you doing in the Mongol camp?"

The two women were still in a daze when Wang Jiuling asked them the question.

"Don't be afraid, I'm not one of them," Wang Jiuling said, and they knelt down tremblingly.

"Thank you for saving our lives! We..."

It turns out that when the Mongol army attacked Chengdu three years ago, they captured many officials, just like Wang Shouyuan.

Some officials were talented, but were threatened into surrendering.

These two women were the daughters of a Song official, who had been imprisoned by the Mongols to threaten their father.

Two months ago, their father still refused to surrender and was killed by the Mongols in a fit of rage.

Having lost their usefulness, they were sent to this Mongol camp.

Tonight, the Mongol centurion, after drinking, intended to rape them. They found a chance to escape from the camp, but within the Mongol camp, they could hardly move an inch.

"If it weren't for our benefactor, we would probably be...we would probably be...waaaah!"

The two sisters cried bitterly, and Wang Jiuling frowned after hearing their story.

The guard felt a sense of fear when he saw the look in Wang Jiuling's eyes.

Would the Taoist priest get angry and slap him on the shoulder too?

Wang Jiuling looked at the guard, his meaning clear: he wanted to protect the two sisters.

But the guard looked conflicted and spoke respectfully.

"Sir, I'm afraid I can't help you!"

"Why?" Wang Jiuling frowned, and the guards explained that Kublai Khan had left today to handle important political matters and would not return for two or three days.

"Sir, without the prince's orders, I cannot arrange for the two of them, and without Prince Kublai Khan's orders, they cannot leave this place."

"If a real person wants to protect them, it would be best to personally protect them for two or three days."

"When Prince Kublai Khan returns, I think the prince will give the real man this face."

The soldier's meaning was clear: he only served Wang Jiuling on Kublai Khan's orders, and he had no say in the fate of the two women.

Wang Jiuling frowned in thought. He was currently lacking in true energy, so it wouldn't be appropriate for him to forcibly take the two burdens with him and leave.

Those Mongol soldiers will definitely try to stop us, and a big fight will surely break out.

He can leave, but it's unlikely he can safely take these two people with him.

Moreover, Wang Jiuling would not force himself to take such a risk.

But if they just let the guards take the person away to deal with him, those Mongol soldiers would not let it go.

It would be better to protect them first and then see how things go.

Once his inner energy has recovered in a while and he leaves the Mongol camp, he will rescue them if he can; otherwise, that's another matter.

At this moment, the two sisters also knelt down, crying and begging Wang Jiuling to save them.

Wang Jiuling looked at the personal guard. "Set up another small tent next to my tent for them to stay in."

Now that he had already stepped in to save them, Wang Jiuling wouldn't let them get into trouble again. Helping them out wouldn't hurt.

After considering it for a long time, the guard finally nodded in agreement.

"Don't worry, Master, I'll get it ready! But the tent can't be too big, since it's not for you personally!"

The guard acted quickly, finding a tent and setting it up all by himself with great skill, not far from Wang Jiuling's tent.

Try to stay as far away from other Mongol soldiers as possible.

"You two can stay in this tent for now. If I can save you when I leave, I will take you with me."

This was deep within the Mongol camp, surrounded by wolves. Wang Jiuling did not promise that he could take them away safely; he simply asked them to wait for the time being.

The two sisters were terrified today. After expressing their deepest gratitude to Wang Jiuling, they huddled in their tent, too afraid to come out.

By the time I finished dealing with all these matters, it was already midnight.

Only then did Wang Jiuling have a moment to continue meditating on the grass.

Meanwhile, far from the Mongol camp, Kublai Khan also received the letter.

"The plan has begun, and I am certain he will save people."

"I just don't know how far he'll go in saving us? Will he do anything else?"

Kublai Khan closed his eyes and silently analyzed Wang Jiuling's personality.

An advisor leaned closer, their shadows flickering in the candlelight. "Your Highness, please rest assured!"

"This Qingyangzi, don't be fooled by his appearance as a gentleman, isn't that what people are after in this life?"

Loyalty to the emperor and love for one's country, women, fame and fortune!

"If the first plan fails, then he has won one round, but our second plan is not so simple."

"Doesn't he pride himself on being upright? Then he couldn't possibly stand by and watch someone die!"

This gentle, fragrant beauty, once hidden beneath an act of heroism, is the hardest to guard against!

"Dealing with upright gentlemen is a sure thing! Prince, rest assured! This plan has only just begun..."

Kublai Khan nodded.

Actually, their initial plan was to use the woman's beauty to seduce Wang Jiuling, but then they thought that would be too obvious.

Everyone knows about the honey trap. If you just send a beautiful woman to Wang Jiuling and flirt with him, that's not a trap. It's an open message to Wang Jiuling: "I'm going to use a beautiful woman to win you over. Be careful."

Therefore, Kublai Khan used a series of stratagems.
