"Yang Zhenzhong … Why does this name sound so familiar?" Song Qingshu suddenly thought of something and subconsciously glanced at the woman on the other side.
Ruan Xingzhu's delicate body also trembled, and she subconsciously stopped in her tracks. Although the change in her expression could not be seen clearly because of the disguise, it was obvious that her heart was in turmoil.
"Let's go in and have a seat," Ren Yingying suggested considerately, knowing that the other party wanted to know what was going on.
Ruan Xingzhu glanced at her gratefully, then the group entered the restaurant and walked upstairs to the place where the voice had just come from.
Although the entire Chengdu City had been sealed off, the inside of the city was not affected too much. It still maintained its prosperity, and any random restaurant by the road was also bustling.
After going upstairs, a group of people gathered around a table and chatted while drinking. The voice just now had obviously come from one of them.
"Da An Army's Yang Zhenzhong has always had prestige in Sichuan. It's normal for Wu Xi to want to rope him in."
"General Yang is really a man of iron bones. He would rather die than follow that traitor Wu Xi and commit treason."
"I feel that his death was not worth it. The Yang family has such a deep foundation in Sichuan. Now that the country is in trouble, he should have stood up and led everyone to suppress that dog Wu Xi. In the end, he died. It's really painful for the close ones and happy for the enemy."
…
After confirming her husband's death, Ruan Xingzhu's body swayed. If it wasn't for Song Qingshu's sharp eyes and quick hands supporting her waist, she would have fallen to the ground.
Although she said that she had no feelings for him, the two of them were husband and wife. In this era, the husband was the backbone of a woman. Although Ruan Xingzhu was not an ordinary person, she was still a woman.
Song Qingshu also frowned when he heard this. If Wu Xi really committed treason, why could this group of people openly discuss political affairs in the restaurant? Was it because Wu Xi's control over Sichuan was far from enough, or were these people not afraid of death?
But no matter what the situation was, it could be seen that the hearts of the people were aligned. Even though the Southern Song Dynasty was weak and muddle-headed, it was still a righteous cause in the hearts of the majority of the Han people. In the future, if there was a conflict with the Southern Song Dynasty, they must not neglect this point, lest they inadvertently become the common enemy of the Han people.
Ruan Xingzhu tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. Just as she was about to step forward and ask about the details, a timid and stubborn voice came from the side, "Nonsense, Ling … General Wu is a great hero with an indomitable spirit. How could he do such a thing?"
Everyone looked toward the direction of the voice and their eyes suddenly brightened. A young nun was sitting at the table in the corner. She was delicate and pretty, her countenance was dazzling, she was indeed a peerless beauty. She was about sixteen or seventeen years old and had a graceful figure. Although she was wrapped in a loose black robe, it could not hide her graceful and graceful figure.
Beside him sat a valiant man with a fierce face. However, he was dressed like an ascetic monk, which made him look a little out of place.
"A nun paired with a monk, what kind of situation is this?" Many people had the same doubt in their hearts.
Song Qingshu could roughly guess the identity of these two people. That valiant man was a famous rapist in the pugilistic world, Tian Boguang. Song Qingshu had met him once before, but looking at his monk's attire, it was most likely that he had been cut off by the monk Bujie. When he thought about how Tian Boguang looked so manly on the outside, but in truth, he was no longer a real man, Song Qingshu couldn't help but have a strange expression on his face. That monk Bujie was truly ruthless enough.
As for this delicate and pretty little nun, she was naturally the character that the vast majority of readers in < The Smiling, Proud Wanderer >, Yi Lin.
"No wonder a rapist like Tian Boguang would fall head over heels for her. As expected, I can't help but feel pity for her." Although Song Qingshu approved of her looks, he had no other thoughts. He had no interest in a nun, especially that little bald head of hers. It completely didn't meet the standard of a woman with long hair that flowed like a waterfall.
"The moment you meet a nun, you will definitely lose every bet!" No wonder Linghu Chong said such a thing back then. It was most likely because he didn't appreciate nuns. Hence, even though he knew that Yi Lin was deeply in love with him, he chose to ignore her. On the contrary, when he met Ren Yingying, he immediately fell in love with her.
"Oh no, this time I meet a nun. Am I going to be unlucky as well?" Song Qingshu's eyebrows twitched. One must know that although the phrase 'the moment you meet a nun, you will definitely lose every bet' sounded like a joke, but in < The Smiling, Proud Wanderer >, it had a huge magical effect.
In the original work, during the Hengyang Grand Assembly, after Abbess Ding Yi heard Yi Lin's narration, she said, "What 'the moment you meet a nun, you will definitely lose every bet'? That's all nonsense, how can anyone believe that? There are so many people here who have seen us, master and disciple. Are they all unlucky? "
Then some netizens made a magical summary of the people who were present at that time and mentioned their names: First was the master, Liu Zhengfeng, who was exterminated not long after; Taoist Tianmen of Taishan Sect died suddenly at the Song Mountain Assembly; Qingcheng Sect was almost exterminated by Lin Pingzhi; the main figures of Huashan Sect at that time were Lin Pingzhi, Yue Lingshan, Lao Denuo, and Liang Fa. Lin Pingzhi was imprisoned at the bottom of West Lake, Lao Denuo was chained together with two monkeys, Yue Lingshan was killed by Lin Pingzhi, and Liang Fa was beheaded. Ding Yi Nun herself was killed by Yue Buqun, and Yi Lin suffered the pain of lovesickness alone. Linghu Chong also narrowly escaped death in order to save her. After that, his fate was even more difficult, and he had experienced all the bitterness of the human world.
Therefore, this sentence was really poisonous, and it was better not to raise some flags randomly.
While Song Qingshu was thinking about it, the group of people had already begun to refute, "Little Nun, you are not from here, right? Who in Sichuan doesn't know that Wu Xi is a traitor?"
Originally, when everyone heard someone say good things about Wu Xi, they were about to fly into a rage, but found that the other party was a delicate little nun, so they couldn't help but have a good impression of her, and their anger naturally subsided a little.
Tears rolled down Yi Lin's beautiful eyes, and she was about to cry out. "Although I am not from here, I know that General Wu is definitely not a traitor, definitely not!"
Song Qingshu was puzzled when he heard this. Looking at Yi Lin's appearance, it was obvious that she knew that Wu Xi was Linghu Chong, but shouldn't this matter be extremely secretive? Suddenly, he came to a realization. According to the plot, when the Heng Shan Sect was robbed by the Song Mountain Sect disguised as the people of the Devil Cult, Linghu Chong's Wu Tiande saved them. At that time, the whole Heng Shan Sect should have known Linghu Chong's identity.
"Forget it. If it weren't for the fact that you are an ignorant little nun, we would definitely not spare you for speaking up for that traitor." The group of people saw that she looked pitiful and cute, so they couldn't bear to scold her. They just ignored her and continued to chat.
Yi Lin opened her mouth and wanted to defend her sweetheart, but Tian Boguang, who was next to her, pulled the corner of her clothes and lowered his voice to stop her. "We just came here, so we don't know anything. Let's listen to the situation first."
On the other side, Ren Yingying couldn't help but sigh. "Yi Lin really likes Linghu Chong."
Song Qingshu deliberately sighed. "Unfortunately, the one Linghu Chong likes is Blackwood Cliff's Miss Ren."
Ren Yingying was so embarrassed that she pinched him and then said, "This kind of joke is not funny, and the person he likes is his little junior sister."
Song Qingshu nodded, obviously agreeing with her. In the original work, although Linghu Chong was amazed by Ren Yingying at the beginning and was also very moved by her behavior, in his heart, he still loved his little junior sister Yue Lingshan. Only after the two of them experienced a series of things, in the middle and late stages of the novel, did he love Ren Yingying more and more. However, whether he liked Ren Yingying or Yue Lingshan more, even at the end, was still controversial.
Now in this world, because of Song Qingshu's interference, the relationship between the two of them had not had time to develop as perfectly as in the original work, so he had a chance to take advantage of it. Before, outside Yangzhou City, when Song Qingshu was poisoned by the Golden Ripple Flower and was unable to resist, it was through Yue Lingshan that he persuaded Linghu Chong, which also explained some problems.
At this time, the people at the table began to talk again, each of them filled with righteous indignation. "Wu Xi that dog betrayed the country for glory, but in addition to Yang Zhenzhong, there are still many hot-blooded men in the officialdom."
"Yes, Chen Xian, who is in charge of strategy and writing, shaved his head and refused to submit to the Jin Dynasty."
"I also heard that the official in charge of writing in Lizhou Road, Shi Ciqin, blinded his eyes and refused to be a false official appointed by Wu Xi."
...
After listening for a while, Song Qingshu could not help but be secretly shocked. Wu Xi previously secretly communicated with the Jin Dynasty, this matter should be extremely confidential and could not have been leaked. How did all these people know that he wanted to surrender to the Jin Dynasty and make himself the King of Shu? No wonder Chengdu was sealed, and most of the other provinces and counties in Sichuan were also watching. Many people originally did not want to obey Wu Xi, but after hearing the news of the defeat of the Southern Song Dynasty, they probably had a lot of ideas. In addition, Wu Xi originally controlled more than half of the military power in Sichuan, so the situation was out of control.
At this time, the people at the other table also slammed the table and stood up. "These are all loyal martyrs, let me tell you about a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death."
Hearing this, Song Qingshu's heart skipped a beat. He could not be talking about Lin Pingzhi, could he? Song Qingshu had used his connections to send Lin Pingzhi here, and it would not look good for him to make a traitor.
"The ancestor of the Murong family of Gusu is the sworn brother of the founder, Murong Yanzhao, the Commandery Prince of Henan. He has been loyal for generations and has a great reputation in Jianghu. Qiao Feng of the North, Murong of the South, such great prestige. This time, as the transport envoy, everyone expected Murong Fu to stand out and lead the people to rebel, but he was the first to accept Wu Xi's false appointment and become the Prime Minister and Chief Clerk. Bah!"
That person said with righteous indignation. Song Qingshu thought that with Murong Fu's determination to restore the country, it was indeed easy for him to participate in Wu Xi's betrayal. Now, the only thing he was not clear about was why Linghu Chong betrayed the country.
Looking at Yuan Xingzhu, who was at the side, and seeing that her eyes were lifeless, Song Qingshu sighed and walked to the side to ask about Yang Zhenzhong on her behalf. In the end, he confirmed the news of Yang Zhenzhong's death. When he came back, he could only say to her, "The deceased has passed away. My condolences, madam."
Yuan Xingzhu shook her head. "How could he commit suicide? I don't believe it. I want to go back to the Yang family." Although Yang Zhenzhong held a position in Xingyuan Mansion, the Yang family was in Chengdu.
Song Qingshu said awkwardly, "I also want to see what happened to Wu Xi. I may not be able to accompany madam back to the Yang family." This was the reason why he came to Sichuan this time, and Ren Yingying had been worried about this. At this time, it was unlikely that he would change his plan for another woman.
