Zhou Zhiruo suddenly blushed and said in a small voice, "Can we just talk tonight? I … I'm coming."
Song Qingshu was worried. When he heard what she said, he immediately let out a sigh of relief. "That's good, that's good."
"Huh?" Zhou Zhiruo looked at him suspiciously. His reaction wasn't right.
Song Qingshu smiled awkwardly and hurriedly said, "It just so happens that we've been apart for so long. I have a lot of things I want to talk to you about."
Zhou Zhiruo pursed her lips and smiled. "I don't have much to talk about in Yangzhou. Let's talk about the things that have happened around you. Also, tell me which sisters we've added to our family."
"You're my wife. There's no need to hide these things from you …" Song Qingshu didn't hide anything. He slowly told her everything that had happened after he left Yangzhou with Zhao Min. Of course, he didn't tell her about Yang Miaozhen. After all, the other women were far away. Even if Zhou Zhiruo knew, she wouldn't say anything. However, Yang Miaozhen was so close. If something really happened, it wouldn't be easy to clean up.
When she heard about the things that had happened around him, Zhou Zhiruo was sometimes nervous and sometimes she sighed. After a long time, she exclaimed, "You've experienced more than ten lifetimes of other people. I really want to be by your side and experience the wonders of this world with you."
Song Qingshu hugged her delicate body and said somewhat apologetically, "It's been hard on you to help me deal with Yangzhou's government affairs."
"It's not hard at all. I'm actually enjoying it." Zhou Zhiruo giggled. "You don't need to be nervous. I won't go with you. If I'm by your side at all times, how can our Young Master Song fool around with other women?"
Song Qingshu's face darkened. "You know that's not what I meant."
"Alright, alright, I'm not blaming you." Zhou Zhiruo sighed, "I've told you my stance before. Now that you want to conquer the world, if you can provoke some powerful women or women who are useful to you, not only will I not oppose it, but I will also welcome them. For example, the Fourth Lady of the Red Coat Army."
"You mean Miss Yang …" Song Qingshu opened his mouth and was about to say something when Zhou Zhiruo rolled her eyes at him.
"I'm not deaf. You guys fought so ambiguously at the banquet, and everyone was boiling over. Even if I was meditating, I could still hear it."
Song Qingshu smiled sheepishly. "That's because the others were blindly stirring up trouble."
Zhou Zhiruo sighed, "Although the Fourth Niangzi usually doesn't put on any makeup, she is still a woman after all. She still has some fragrance on her body. Although you reek of alcohol now, women are most sensitive to the smell of other women."
Song Qingshu looked embarrassed. "Zhiruo …"
Zhou Zhiruo reached out and pressed her hand on his lips. "You don't need to feel guilty. Yang Miaozhen has a high prestige in the Red Coat Army. She is also a famous general. She is a rare talent. If you didn't capture her, I would have scolded you instead."
Song Qingshu sighed. "Everyone says that a successful man must have a great woman behind him. With such a wife, what more can a man ask for?"
Zhou Zhiruo pouted. "You obviously have a group of women behind you."
Song Qingshu: "…"
Fortunately, Zhou Zhiruo did not want to delve into this topic. She quickly changed the topic and asked him about Sichuan, Xixia, and other places. They talked for a long time before they finally fell asleep in each other's arms.
The next morning, Song Qingshu bid farewell to Zhou Zhiruo and Yang Miaozhen. He traveled day and night to the north. This time, Huang Chang invited him on a whim, just in case, but he felt that three Great Grandmasters might not be enough.
If not for the fact that he did not have enough time, he even planned to go to Mount Lu Ding and ask Patriarch Sunflower for help. Back then, he tied with Dongfang Muxue mainly because he was too old, which caused his realm to decline. These few years, he had absorbed the Dragon Qi at Mount Lu Ding. If there were no accidents, he must have recovered his Great Grandmaster realm. He was absolutely unfathomable.
"Does the illusory Dragon Qi really exist? And can it be refined?" Along the way, Song Qingshu was puzzled by this question. But later, he remembered that his Joyful Genuine Qi and Taixuan Sutra were full of strange colors, so he reluctantly felt relieved.
"I must find a chance to ask Patriarch Sunflower about this." Song Qingshu thought that these few years, after his and Dongfang Muxue's efforts, the Manchurian Qing's fate was probably nearing its end. Patriarch Sunflower most likely would not have many happy days absorbing Dragon Qi.
Was it because of us that the Manchurian Qing's fate was nearing its end, or did Patriarch Sunflower help us by severing the Manchurian Qing's Dragon Vein? Song Qingshu couldn't figure it out. It was like the chicken or the egg.
…
The camera panned to Zhao Gou's side. A group of people traveled along the river. When they passed by Ezhou, someone sent a petition to pay their respects to Yue Fei. After all, Ezhou was the Yue Army's main camp. This made Zhao Gou furious.
Although Yue Fei's murder was nominally committed by Qin Hui, Moqi Suo, and the others, these people had his approval. Hence, this matter had always been a thorn in his heart.
Previously, he had vindicated Yue Fei because of the public's agitation. He had no choice but to push Moqi Suo and the others out as scapegoats. But he was not willing. Now, someone actually publicly invited him to pay his respects to Yue Fei?
However, he still had some sense left in him. Although he did not want to go himself, he still sent someone to pay his respects to prevent public opinion from boiling over again.
After that, he did not even stop at Ezhou. He directly led the group north along the Han River, all the way to Xiangyang.
Looking at the looming Xiangyang City, Prince Yi, who was on the other ship, smiled. Finally, they had arrived! He had been under a lot of psychological pressure during this period of time. Soon, he would have an answer.
"Your Highness, it's not like there are no opportunities along the way. Why must we make our move on Mount Wudang?" King Yi's confidant, Yu Tianxi, approached and asked in a low voice.
King Yi answered, "First, he will only leave the main force once we reach Mount Wudang. Mount Wudang is a holy land of Taoism. It is impossible to let the whole army ascend the mountain together. Secondly, the other opportunities will disappear in a flash. The time and place are uncertain. The few people in Mansion of Spirits are all important people that even I cannot afford to offend. How can I order them to travel back and forth? So in conclusion, Mount Wudang is the best place to make our move. "
"Faceless, will the generals and the others really come as promised? If some of them don't come, our plan will fall short of success. " Yu Tianxi was very worried. With the status of those people, not even the Emperor could order them around, not to mention the Lord who was a King. Once there was a small mistake, they would be doomed eternally.
"They will definitely come, because they all have a reason to come." Looking at the distant horizon, King Yi's tone was full of confidence.
The group soon arrived at Xiangyang. The Governor of Jinghu, Lu Wende, the Pacification Commissioner of Jinghu, Xiang Shibi, the Magistrate of Xiangyang, Lu Wenhuan, the Magistrate of Jiangling, Cao Shixiong, the Magistrate of Ezhou, Fan Wenhu, the Commander-In-Chief of Wuding Army in Huangzhou, Gao Da, the Deputy Commander-In-Chief of Jing and E, and a group of local officials had already come to welcome them.
"I heard that Guo Jing's family is also in Xiangyang City?" After meeting all the officials, Zhao Gou suddenly asked.
"General Guo's whereabouts are unknown. Now, only his daughter and two disciples are in the Guo Residence," Lu Wende answered.
Zhao Gou said lightly, "Bring her to see me."

Note: In the first few chapters, when describing the outline of the world, the Lu brothers were set to conquer Jinghu and Lianhuai separately. This was obviously unreasonable, so it was changed to the Lu brothers conquering Jinghu together.
