Shen Bijun had been raised in her boudoir and had occasionally heard other young ladies talk about Song Qingshu. However, at the time, he had just been a stranger to her and she hadn't paid much attention to him, so she knew very little about him.
Later, when she had met him in Liao, he had become her only hope for survival. She couldn't help but start asking around about Song Qingshu and gradually learned many things about him, including his emotional entanglement with the sect leader of the Emei Sect, Zhou Zhiruo, his pitiful encounter at the Lion Slaughtering Conference, and then his sudden reappearance in the jianghu after a period of silence. His name had shaken the world. Everything was filled with mystery and dreamy, making her curious about this man.
Since she roughly knew what had happened to him over the years, she could naturally hear the helplessness in his voice. After all, he had been injured and poisoned. If it were someone else, they would have died more than ten times over. He was able to train his ability to cure injuries and poisons completely by risking his life.
Thinking of this, Shen Bijun suddenly felt sorry for the man in front of her. Outsiders only saw his glory in front of others. How many people cared about how many times he had struggled on the edge of life and death?
"Your meridians were all severed at the Lion Slaughtering Conference. How did you recover?" Shen Bijun asked softly.
Song Qingshu helped her with the medicine. Since he had nothing else to do, he casually chatted with her. He talked about how he had wandered the jianghu, how he had coincidentally learned from Wang Yuyan that the Divine Illuminating Scripture might be able to cure him, and then how he had gone to the prison in Jingzhou …
These things weren't too big of a secret, so he didn't try to hide them.
Shen Bijun couldn't help but sigh. "The young miss of the Wang family of Gusu is both beautiful and talented. I didn't think she would also be skilled in all the martial arts in the world."
Hearing her tone, Song Qingshu was startled. "You know each other?"
Shen Bijun nodded slightly. "We met once. The talent and temperament she displayed at the time caused everyone in the circle to praise her."
Only now did Song Qingshu remember that they were both young misses of Jiangnan. The two places weren't too far apart, and their families all had some influence in the court. It was normal for them to have met each other. Wang Yuyan obviously wouldn't be discussing the fighting and killing of these noble ladies, so Shen Bijun naturally didn't know that Wang Yuyan was well-versed in the martial arts of the Hundred Schools.
"Brother Song, I didn't expect you to be able to find a solution in that kind of situation. Bijun really admires you. If it was anyone else, they would have already despaired." Shen Bijun looked at him with admiration.
"I'm not a saint. How could I not be in despair?" Song Qingshu sighed. "But so what if I was in despair? Was there nothing I could do? As long as I don't give up, I will eventually find hope. "
"As long as I don't give up, there will always be hope …" Shen Bijun thought to herself. Thinking back to what had happened to her family, she felt deeply moved.
"Have a good rest. I'll go out and take a look," Song Qingshu said as he stood up.
"Don't leave!" Shen Bijun subconsciously shouted. She suddenly realized something and her face turned red. She hurriedly explained, "I just woke up, so I'm not sleepy yet."
"That's true." Song Qingshu nodded.
Shen Bijun continued to ask, "Right, Brother Song, there were rumors that you were poisoned by the world's number one poison, the Golden Rippling Flower. How did you cure it in Yangzhou?"
With this kind of devastatingly beautiful woman looking at you with a face full of expectation, it would be very difficult for any man to refuse her request. Song QingShu thought that he still needed to use her to win over Shen Xiaolong, so it would not be bad to use this opportunity to get closer to her. Thus, he roughly told her what happened in Yangzhou.
Shen Bijun had only heard that he had been poisoned by the Golden Rippling Flower in Yangzhou, but how could the Jianghu people know the details? Now that she had personally experienced it, she finally understood how frightening that night had been.
When she heard that he had been poisoned by the Golden Rippling Flower and that he had been chased by all kinds of experts, even though she knew that he had turned his misfortune into a blessing in the end, she still felt nervous. When she heard that he had finally left Yangzhou City, she let out a sigh of relief. However, when she heard that the pursuers had also left the city, she became nervous again.
When Song Qingshu said that the guards who had disguised themselves as the Moqi Family's granddaughter-in-law had sneaked onto the ship and escaped the encirclement, she couldn't help but admire him. "Brother Song, you didn't panic in that kind of situation and actually thought of such a clever plan. You really are brave and resourceful. I've also heard of that Young Mistress of the Prime Minister Residence. She is different from the Moqi Family's sinister and ruthless people. She is very kind and can be said to be an anomaly in the Moqi Family. Even if she knew your identity, she most likely wouldn't say anything to avoid harming your life. "
"Bijun is right. The Young Mistress of the Moqi Family is indeed a good person." Thinking about how he had relied on her … to temporarily control the Golden Rippling Flower's poison, Song Qingshu's heart shook. The process was incomparably beautiful when he thought back to it.
"How did she save you? Could she be an expert? "Noticing the strange expression on his face, Shen Bijun asked curiously.
"Uh …" Song Qingshu knew that he definitely couldn't tell her how he saved her, so he could only find another excuse. "The Golden Rippling Flower was given to Li Kexiu by Moqi Xu. As the Young Mistress of the Wan Family, Qi Fang just so happened to have the antidote."
Because the Island of Heroes was inextricably linked to the Southern Song Dynasty's court and was also involved in Jia Baoyu's death, it wasn't convenient for him to reveal what had happened to the Island of Heroes to her. This was also to protect her to a certain extent. After all, in this world, the more secrets one knew, the more dangerous it was.
"The Young Mistress of the Wan Family is really kind. If I have the chance to meet her next time, I must thank her properly," Shen Bijun said instinctively. After saying this, she quickly realized that it was inappropriate. She wasn't related to him in any way, so how could she thank him?
In order to dispel the awkwardness in her heart, she hurriedly asked about some of the famous events that had happened around Song Qingshu. Song Qingshu patiently answered her questions. Aside from some things that involved other people, he didn't hide anything else.
Over the next few days, under Song Qingshu's careful care, the swelling on Shen Bijun's leg gradually subsided, and she became more spirited.
"Brother Song, it's all because of me that your journey has been delayed these past few days."
Song Qingshu smiled. "Don't feel too pressured. I can't just watch you die, can I? Besides, I've already reserved a certain amount of time, so it won't be a big problem. "
Although he spoke casually, the attentive Shen Bijun keenly sensed the worry in his eyes. After a moment of hesitation, she said, "Brother Song, should we switch to riding horses?" Although the carriage was comfortable, it was far slower than riding a horse.
"But I don't remember you riding a horse?" Song Qingshu asked in confusion.
