Song Qingshu's expression changed. He hadn't even sensed the man's presence before he spoke. It was obvious how powerful he was.
Turning around, Song Qingshu saw a shiny bald head. He was startled. Since when did the Shaolin Temple have such a master? He had dealt with the Shaolin Temple many times. Whether it was the Southern Shaolin Temple or the Northern Shaolin Temple, in terms of martial arts, there were only one and a half that he thought highly of. One was the Sweeping Monk, and the other was the Thirteen Ultimate Divine Monk, Xuan Cheng. However, Xuan Cheng had been crippled by him. This man wasn't Nameless.
"Who is this master?" Song Qingshu's gaze fell on the big gourd on his waist. His expression became very strange. He had thought that with such a high level of martial arts, he must be an eminent monk. But did eminent monks also need to drink?
"I used to have a Buddhist name, but it's been too long since I've forgotten. Well, the proudest thing in my life was when I defeated Wang in a drinking contest. You can call me the Drinking Monk," the old monk muttered as if he were reminiscing.
"The Drinking Monk!" Song Qingshu was familiar with the plot of the golden book. How could he not know this famous person? However, in the original work, he only existed in legends. Today, he had appeared in front of him.
"It seems that you've heard of my name?" Noticing the other's reaction, the Drinking Monk was a little surprised. After all, he had always been in Jianghu. There were very few people who knew him.
"To be able to defeat the world's number one, Wang Chongyang, and to be able to create the 'Nine Yang Divine Skill,' how could I not have heard of such a person?" Song Qingshu smiled bitterly. Today was really a day where he couldn't even drink cold water. He had actually encountered two Great Grandmasters at the same time. He was afraid that today would be difficult.
"Brother Song …" Hearing the conversation between the two, Ah Ke could tell that these two were very, very skilled. For a moment, she couldn't help but feel afraid.
"Don't be afraid." Song Qingshu held her little hand and comforted her in a low voice.
At this time, Huang Chang spoke, "It seems like the two of you are in love with each other. If this was any other time, I would give you my sincere blessings. However, this woman is the Song Emperor's concubine. I cannot let you take her away."
"What if I insist?" Song Qingshu said coldly.
Huang Chang shook his head, "You are so young, but your martial arts are so high that I have never seen anyone like you before. Even though I cannot stop you by myself, if the two of us work together, do you think you can leave safely?"
Song Qingshu was silent. No matter how arrogant he was, he didn't think that he could escape with a delicate girl whose martial arts skills were negligible when facing the joint attack of two Great Grandmasters.
"The two of you are seniors who have made a name for yourselves decades ago. Fighting me is already considered bullying the weak. Now, the two of you are working together. Don't you think it's too much?" Song Qingshu mocked the two of them with his words as he tried to think of a way to escape.
Huang Chang sighed, "I remember telling you before that I believe in the indifference of the heavens and earth, treating all living things as straw dogs. How can the common moral standards of the secular world bind me?"
The Drunkard Monk also laughed. "These years, I have heard of the Prince of Qi's deeds. It can be said that he is invincible throughout the world. I have known such a person for a long time. How can I treat him as a junior?"
Song Qingshu felt a headache coming on. The people of the Five Uniques, whether it was Huang Yaoshi or Ouyang Feng, generally respected their statuses. They disdained bullying the weak or joining forces against enemies. In the end, these two fellows were impervious to the rules of Jianghu.
"Since that is the case …" Before Song Qingshu could finish his sentence, he suddenly grabbed Ah Ke and shot to the side.
Huang Chang harrumphed, as if he had been prepared for this. With a wave of his hands, his wide sleeves created two invisible walls of air in front of him.
Sensing that the air in front of him had become as viscous as a swamp, Song Qingshu's sword qi shot out, cutting through the thick curtain of air.
However, in this short period of time, the Drunkard Monk had already appeared in front of him. A palm of extreme Yang energy covered the sky and covered the earth. "Ha! Get back! "
The opponent's palm strike did not contain any fancy moves. However, the timing was perfect. It was the moment when Song Qingshu's old energy was exhausted and he had not yet recovered. It was reasonable to say that for a martial artist of Song Qingshu's level, this kind of opening could be said to be almost non-existent. Other experts would not be able to seize this opening. However, two Martial Grandmasters had attacked at the same time, forcibly creating this opening. Unable to dodge, Song Qingshu could only raise his palm to meet the attack.
With a loud bang, Song Qingshu was forced back to his original position. Feeling the remnant Yang energy in his arm, he could not help but secretly click his tongue. "The peak of Nine Yang energy is indeed worthy of its reputation."
In the blink of an eye, he had fought with two peerless experts of the present age. Even with his peerless martial arts, at this moment, he felt his blood churning.
Huang Chang did not attack again. Instead, he opened his mouth and said, "If the two of us join forces, no one in the world can escape."
Song Qingshu was silent. He knew that Huang Chang was speaking the truth. In a battle of life and death, one against two, although he could at least take one person down with him, he would most likely die. More importantly, there was no need to fight to the death with these two. If they were fighting while running, he might be able to escape with his peerless Qinggong, but if he wanted to take Ah Ke with him, it would be beyond his ability.
Ah Ke bit her lips and said in a small voice, "Brother Song, you go first. I don't mind staying in the palace and living a luxurious life."
Before Song Qingshu had time to reply, Huang Chang spoke again, "Actually, you don't have to feel embarrassed. I have another choice for you."
"Oh?" Song Qingshu raised his eyebrows, "What choice?"
"As long as you agree to one of our conditions, I will make the decision to give you the imperial concubine." Huang Chang did not immediately say it. Instead, he deliberately left him hanging.
Hearing his words, Ah Ke could not help but feel embarrassed. Song Qingshu could not help but laugh, "You are not the emperor, how can you give the imperial concubine away? And even if you were the emperor, you would not have the right to give the imperial concubine away."
The imperial concubine was not the concubine of an ordinary noble family. Those concubines could be given away as they pleased. For example, Su Dongpo had given a pregnant concubine to a friend. But the imperial concubine was completely different. Even if the emperor was willing to give it away, he could not. This was because it represented the face of the imperial family and the dignity of the country.
Huang Chang calmly said, "Although I am not the emperor, I can make this decision for the emperor. As long as you do not arrogantly announce her identity as the imperial concubine, the imperial family will not pursue any responsibility."
"Oh?" Hearing him say this, Song Qingshu somewhat believed him. "Tell me, what are your conditions?"
"Protect the emperor with us," Huang Chang responded.
Song QingShu had a strange expression on his face. "Did I hear wrongly? Aside from the fact that the palace is heavily guarded, there are countless imperial guards, and there are many experts in the front of the palace hall. There are also imperial weapons. These people would be considered top-notch experts even if they were placed in Jianghu. Even with the two of you, who are at the level of Great Grandmaster, protecting him, who in the world can harm the emperor?"
Doujiu Monk said, "Ji Sun's worry is not Zhuan Yu, but the inside of the wall."
Song Qingshu's heart skipped a beat. Could it be Jia Shidao and the Mansion of Spirits?
