? "I …" Tang Saier opened her mouth with a conflicted expression. She knew that once Li Qingluo misunderstood that she was a descendant of the Heavenly Mountain Maiden, she would immediately face great danger. However, when she thought of the secret in her heart, she weighed the pros and cons and decided not to say it in the end.
Li Qingluo sneered, "Do you think you can escape with your life today just because you know some of that old witch's martial arts?" She had clearly made up her mind to kill. No matter why the other party knew Wave-like Subtle Steps, she was obviously an enemy and not a friend. It was better to get rid of the future trouble as soon as possible.
"I wouldn't dare." Tang Saier said while secretly being on guard. After staying under Li Qingluo for so long, she had long understood her character. Naturally, she knew that the other party had made up her mind to kill.
Seeing that the battle between the two was about to break out, Song Qingshu interrupted, "Do you really want to fight to the death? Little girl Tang, if you die, who will save Wei Ruolan? " He had already used the Three Corpse Divine Pill to control her, which would be of great use in the future. Naturally, he did not want her to die for no reason.
Tang Saier's expression changed slightly. The other party's words just happened to hit her soft spot, and she immediately became hesitant.
Song Qingshu struck while the iron was hot, "Tell me about the relationship between you two. If you can move me, maybe I can let Wei Ruolan go."
Li Qingluo frowned slightly, but in the end, she did not say anything. As for Xiao Long Nu, she had a cold expression throughout, as if she did not see what was happening in the room.
Tang Saier struggled in her heart for a long time. Finally, Song Qingshu's words moved her, and she finally said, "Wei Ruolan … is my younger brother."
"Younger brother?" Song Qingshu was startled. He did not expect that they would have such a relationship. One was a scholar with a bright future, and the other was a witch from the White Lotus Society. No matter how he looked at it, they should not have a relationship at all.
"Younger brother?" Li Qingluo also frowned and asked.
"Yes." Tang Saier nodded, "Younger brother."
"As far as I know, your real name is Fu Minyi. Is Wei Ruolan also surnamed Fu?" Song Qingshu could not help but ask.
Tang Saier shook her head, "Actually, I don't believe in Fu, but my surname is Chai."
"Chai?" Song Qingshu didn't react for a moment. "That's a rare surname."
"Chai Rong's firewood." Tang Saier's red lips parted slightly. These few words shocked everyone in the room.
"You're a descendant of the Chai family?" Song Qingshu was extremely surprised. One had to know that compared to the two brothers, Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi, he liked Chai Rong more. Chai Rong was shockingly talented and was as dazzling as the sun. Originally, it was inevitable that he would unify the world, but it was a pity that the heavens were jealous of his talent. He died of illness at the age of thirty, leaving behind an orphan and a widow, allowing the Zhao brothers to enjoy the fruits of their labor.
Tang Saier didn't answer him. Instead, she looked at Li Qingluo and said, "Master, you're also a member of the Free and Unfettered Sect. Do you know who the founder of our sect is?"
"Naturally it's the Unfettered One, Pan Lang." Li Qingluo answered.
"Pan Lang?" Song Qingshu knew this person. He was a famous hermit and scholar in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty. His style of writing was similar to Jia Dao and Meng Jiao. Similar to other scholars in the Song Dynasty, he also had a nickname, the Unfettered One.
Song Qingshu originally thought that he was just a down-and-out scholar, an impetuous hermit. Now that he heard Tang Saier's words, it was both unexpected and reasonable. The Unfettered One, the Free and Unfettered Sect, how could there be no relationship between them …
"Master, do you know the background of our founder?" Tang Saier asked.
Li Qingluo shook her head. "Our founder was an extremely knowledgeable man with extraordinary martial arts skills. However, he has always been mysterious. The people of Jianghu don't even know much about the Free and Unfettered Sect, let alone our founder."
Tang Saier said in a sorrowful tone, "Back then, after the Wise Martial Emperor Xiaowen passed away …"
At this moment, Xiao Long Nu, who was at the side, suddenly asked, "Who is the Wise Martial Emperor Xiaowen?"
Song QingShu was also confused. Although he knew more than the average person as a transmigrator, he couldn't remember the complicated posthumous titles of ancient times.
Fortunately, there was Li Qingluo, who was from an aristocratic family, next to him. She explained, "The Wise Martial Emperor Xiaowen is Chai Rong of Zhou Shizong."
Tang Saier nodded and continued, "The Wise Martial Emperor Xiaowen had seven children. Unfortunately, the first three children died in the hands of Liu Chengyou of the Later Han Dynasty. Therefore, after his death, the oldest of the remaining four children was only seven years old. Not long after, that dog Zhao Kuangyin forced him to abdicate the throne."
"Chai Zongxun …" Song Qingshu also knew a little about this period of history. Thinking about it made him sigh. Because of this, the Song Dynasty had always been on guard against military generals. The national policy of emphasizing culture and belittling martial arts had led to the Song Dynasty being weak and being bullied by foreign tribes.
"That's right." Hatred flashed in Tang Saier's eyes. "The remaining four sons of the Wise Martial Emperor Xiaowen were the fourth son, Chai Zongxun, the fifth son, Chai Xirang, the sixth son, Chai Xijin, and the seventh son, Chai Xihui."
"After Zhao Kuangyin usurped the throne, he demoted Chai Zongxun to King Zheng. The fifth son, Chai Xirang, was missing in the chaos. The sixth son, Chai Xijin, and the seventh son, Chai Xihui, were unable to escape because they were young. At that time, Zhao Kuangyin had the intention to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots. Fortunately, the founding general, Lu Yan, risked his life to dissuade him. At that time, he said, 'Yao Shun did not abolish Zhu Jun. Today, Zhou Chan will be safe.' At this time, General Pan Mei also stepped forward. He said, 'How dare I not think so! But it is not right.' Only then did he save the lives of the two young princes. "
Song Qingshu's heart skipped a beat. In history, Pan Mei was a famous general and an unyielding man. Unfortunately, he was discredited by the Yang family generals.
"Pan Mei and Lu Yan each took a young prince home to adopt. Pan Mei took Chai Xijin, and Lu Yan took Chai Xihui. In order to avoid potential danger, the two adopted the two princes. Chai Xihui changed his surname to Lu and was named Lu Duoxun. Chai Xijin followed Pan Mei's surname and changed his name to Pan Lang. "Tang Saier's tone was calm, but it was as if a heavy bomb had been dropped in the room.
"Ancestor Xiaoyao is actually a descendant of Chai Rong!" Not to mention Song Qingshu, even Li Qingluo, who was a disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect, was shocked.
"After the two princes grew up, they were obsessed with revenge and restoring the Zhou Dynasty. At that time, Zhao Kuangyin was killed by the Candlelight Axe Shadow. In order to justify it, Zhao Guangyi announced that it was his elder brother's last wish. However, there was a problem. Their third brother, Zhao Tingmei, had the legal right to inherit the throne. The two princes felt that it was a great opportunity, so they secretly sought refuge with Zhao Tingmei, the King of Qin. They instigated Zhao Tingmei to fight with Zhao Guangyi so that they could find a chance to restore the Zhou Dynasty. "
"Unfortunately, God disposes. In the end, they failed at the last step. Zhao Tingmei was sent to another place and died of fear. Lu Duoxun was sent to Yazhou while Pan Lang fled to the Jianghu."
Song QingShu was extremely shocked in his heart. He knew a little about that matter all those years ago. Lu Duoxun had assisted Zhao Tingmei, yet in the end, he'd lost to the joint forces of the old fox, Zhao Guangyi, and Zhao Pu.
Tang Saier finally calmed down and said, "After that failure, the two princes realized that Zhao Song's fate was not over yet. So, they decided to hide their strength and bide their time, waiting for the right time. Lu Duoxun carefully taught his descendants in Yazhou while Pan Lang secretly established the Xiaoyao Sect in the Jianghu and began his grand plan … "
Note 1: In history, Chai Xijin changed his name to Pan Weiji and Chai Xihui changed his name to Lu Xuan. Here, the image of Pan Lang and Lu Duoxun was grafted onto them.
