Hearing that Huang Rong was back, Song Qingshu was overjoyed. "Invite her in. Forget it, I'll go out to greet her." Then he went out to greet her.
Li Qingluo curled her lips and said, "A dog can't stop eating shit. He gets excited when he sees a beautiful woman."
When Song QingShu arrived at the front hall, Huang Rong was sitting at the table, drinking tea and resting. Although she was just sitting there casually, her side profile was still very beautiful. However, he could faintly see some traces of hardship between her brows.
Li Qingluo could not help but feel a little stunned. She had always thought that she was beautiful and charming, but the young woman in front of her was not inferior to her at all. More importantly, the other party had a very unique aura. Her actions looked dignified and elegant, but there was a hint of uncontrollable flirtatiousness between her brows. She was a pure fairy and a seductive witch. The two completely opposite auras were perfectly fused on her body.
"Rong … Master Huang, why are you back so soon? Did something happen on the way? " Song Qingshu rushed forward a few steps and suddenly realized that there was an outsider there, so he stopped and kept a reasonable distance.
He was indeed a little curious. Although Mount Wudang was not too far from Xiangyang, it was not very close either. Huang Rong had just set off yesterday and returned early this morning. It was not even a day's time. It was too fast.
Seeing the man in front of her, Huang Rong blushed. She put down the teacup gracefully to hide the ripples in her heart and replied, "Don't worry, King Qi. Nothing happened."
"Oh?" Song Qingshu was even more curious.
Huang Rong explained, "The Lv Brothers were not in Xiangyang City. I met them on the way."
Song Qingshu suddenly understood. Jia Shidao had needed their army to hold off Wang Ziteng's bodyguards. How could the Lv Brothers not be there for such an important matter? Although the two didn't show up and disguised their troops as Golden Men, they must have been hiding in the army and giving orders at any time.
Huang Rong continued, "The Lv Brothers were a little surprised to see me, but after all, we have worked together in Xiangyang for so many years. Besides, they didn't know why I came, so they saw me and I had a chance to pass the message. "
"What was the result?" Song Qingshu asked hurriedly. The Lu brothers had been in charge of the Jinghu warzone for so many years. If a war really broke out, it would definitely be a mess.
Li Qingluo couldn't help but say, "Seeing how calm and composed Chief Huang is, I know what the result will be."
Song Qingshu was startled, then he smiled and said, "I'm really confused because I'm too concerned."
Huang Rong looked at Li Qingluo in surprise and said, "Madam, you are indeed smart. When I met the Lu brothers, they already knew about Jia Shidao's death. They were already in a dilemma, so I persuaded them according to the plan. They were very surprised to know that Jia Shidao died protecting the king, but they agreed to come and rescue the king. I was worried that you would do something to provoke them, so I came back to tell you in advance."
She said it lightly, but everyone knew that an old fox who had been in the officialdom for decades would not be so easily convinced. She had spent a lot of effort to convince the Lu brothers.
"It must be hard for you to travel day and night. I'll ask someone to clean up a room so that Chief Huang can have a good sleep." Song QingShu's eyes were full of pity. Calculating the time, Huang Rong had just given birth to a child. She had to eat and sleep in the open all over the world to chase after Huang Yaoshi. Now she had to travel non-stop to send messages back and forth; it would be terrible if she fell ill.
Huang Rong shook her head and said, "I want to see my father first."
Smiling, Li Qingluo replied, "Madam, please be at ease. After you left, Prince Qi disregarded his own serious injuries and used the Solitary Yang Finger to treat Island Master Huang's injuries. After a period of rest, Island Master Huang should be able to fully recover."
Huang Rong looked at her thoughtfully, which made Li Qingluo's heart skip a beat. Why is she looking at me like that? Is there something wrong with what I said?
Suddenly, Li Qingluo's complexion changed, finally realizing the problem. If her words had been spoken by Zhou Zhiruo, it would have been normal. After all, it was normal for a woman to stand up for her lover and not want his efforts to go unnoticed. However, she was clearly Madam Wang. Just now, she had spoken up for Song Qingshu without hesitation. She was too impatient and Huang Rong had probably seen through her.
Thinking of this, Li Qingluo could not help but feel embarrassed. Why was this woman like a fox? With just a few words, she was able to detect so many things.
Huang Rong stood up and bowed to Song Qingshu. "Your servant thanks the Prince of Qi."
Song Qingshu hastily helped her up. "Please get up. Rescuing Island Master Huang is my duty. There is no need for you to regard me as an outsider."
Huang Rong's face heated up.
Naturally, she understood why.
Li Qingluo, who was at the side, looked at the two of them suspiciously. This time, it was her turn to be suspicious. She felt that there was something strange going on between the two of them. Moreover, based on her understanding of Song QingShu, she felt that this fellow was definitely thinking about this beautiful young woman who was famous throughout the world.
However, the couple's reputation in Jianghu was too great. If Huang Rong and Song Qingshu had something going on, it would be too shocking. She subconsciously did not think in that direction.
At this time, Wang Ziteng also heard the news and rushed over. Knowing that the Lu brothers had been convinced, he could not help but be overjoyed. "The general trend has been decided!"
Song Qingshu smiled. "Uncle, let's have a pleasant cooperation in the future."
"Of course." Wang Ziteng laughed heartily. He was in a very good mood. "According to the reports of the spies, the generals in various parts of the capital have long noticed the abnormality of Mount Wudang. They have already led troops to rescue the King. I think they will arrive in the afternoon. Let's discuss how to deal with them when the time comes."
"Alright." Although Song Qingshu still had many things he wanted to say to Huang Rong, business was more important. He could only suppress his thoughts and send someone to bring Huang Rong to Huang Yaoshi. He, Wang Ziteng, Li Qingluo, and the others discussed some of the details.
After a period of discussion, Song YuanQiao suddenly came looking for him. "Qingshu, Shifu has returned to the mountain. He invites you over."
Song Qingshu was startled. However, since it was Zhang SanFeng's invitation, he really could not refuse. He let Wang Ziteng and Li Qingluo continue to discuss while he followed his father.
"Isn't Great Shifu recuperating? Why is he back so soon?" On the way, Song Qingshu could not help but ask. Previously, he had been seriously injured by the Mansion of Spirits. If he wanted to recover, he would not be able to fight for several months. Considering that there would definitely be a chaotic battle between the Great Grandmasters here, Song Qingshu was worried that something might happen to Zhang SanFeng. Therefore, Song Qingshu arranged for him to recuperate in a safe place.
Song YuanQiao was speechless. "With such a big incident happening on Wudang Mountain, how could he rest in peace? Furthermore, if he did not return, the entire Wudang Sect would have been destroyed by you. "
Song QingShu smiled in embarrassment. Zhang SanFeng's small courtyard in the bamboo forest at the back of the mountain was the battlefield where the Great Grandmasters fought against each other. Not to mention his small courtyard, even the entire bamboo forest at the back of the mountain had been almost completely destroyed by the aftermath of the great battle.
Seeing Song YuanQiao's hesitant expression, Song Qingshu could not help but say, "If you have something to say, just say it. There is no need to worry about talking to your own son."
Song YuanQiao sighed. "Originally, it is said that it is every father's wish to see his son become a dragon. But your growth has really exceeded my expectations. It makes me wonder if you are still the son I raised from a young age."
Song Qingshu was silent. No one knew a son better than a father. In the past, Song Qingshu was considered outstanding among the younger generation, but after all, he was not beyond the scope of common sense. Now that he had been using cheats, it was no wonder that he did not dare to recognize him.
Fortunately, Song YuanQiao had only said it casually and did not really suspect anything. He then said, "What you are going to do this time is really too risky. I won't say anything about you taking the risk yourself, but with your relationship with the Wudang Sect, doing this is like putting the entire Wudang Sect on fire. If anything happens in the future, hundreds of people in the Wudang Sect will be buried with you."
Song Qingshu replied, "There will be no such thing."
"Your blind confidence is what worries me the most." Song YuanQiao was a little annoyed.
Song Qingshu smiled bitterly. "There are many things that involve too many people, and I can't say it clearly. But please rest assured, I really know what I am doing." Now that he had secretly controlled several countries in Liao, Jin, and Qing, he had a lot of experience. It was just that he could not explain these things to him.
While they were talking, the two of them had already arrived outside Zhang Sanfeng's room. Song YuanQiao did not continue to lecture him. "Master only wants to see you. You can go."
Song Qingshu nodded and walked into the room. He saw Zhang Sanfeng sitting on the futon. Although he was seriously injured, his complexion was ruddy, and his whole person was still sage-like. From the outside, there was no sign of injury at all.
Sensing that he had come in, Zhang Sanfeng opened his eyes. "Qingshu, you are here."
"Greetings, Great Master." Song Qingshu bowed respectfully.
Zhang Sanfeng came over and helped him up. He said softly, "This time, I was really a little worried, so I came back early. First, I wanted to see if the disciples of the Wudang Sect were in any danger. Second, I wanted to see if there was anything I could do to help. Although my injury is not light, it is not to the point of being bedridden."
His tone was full of confidence. For decades, he had been recognized as the world's number one. Even if he was injured, no one could underestimate him. It was just that Song Qingshu wanted to play it safe and did not let him participate in this operation.
"I just did not expect you to be so capable. You actually had the last laugh in a battle between so many Great Grandmasters." Zhang Sanfeng's tone was full of praise.
。
"I was just lucky." Song Qingshu was not being modest. The reason why he could have the last laugh this time was that the others were in the light and he was in the dark. Otherwise, if he had joined the battle at the beginning, with so many opponents of the same level, he would probably have been seriously injured if not dead.
Seeing that he was not arrogant, Zhang Sanfeng nodded. "This time, I have come back to understand the whole story. I called you here because I have a question to ask you."
"Great Master, please ask. Qingshu will tell you everything he knows." Song Qingshu replied.
Zhang Sanfeng looked at him quietly. After a long time, he asked, "Are you planning to become an emperor?"
Song Qingshu was startled. After a long time, he sighed. "Who doesn't want to be an emperor in this world?"
Zhang Sanfeng laughed softly. "You are quite honest."
Song Qingshu then said, "I know why Great Master has such a question. You must have seen that I plan to turn Zhao Gou into a puppet. You are worried that I am ambitious and want to usurp the throne step by step."
"Is that not the case?" Zhang Sanfeng looked at him meaningfully.
"If I want to be an emperor, I don't need to be in the Song Dynasty." Song Qingshu said calmly. Whether it was the Qing Kingdom or the Jin Dynasty, it was not like he had never wanted to be an emperor before.
Zhang Sanfeng nodded. He understood that the Golden Snake Camp now sat on half of the former Qing Kingdom's territory. Coupled with the title of Ming Dynasty's princess, it was not impossible for her to become an emperor.
Song Qingshu continued. "It is just that the Mongolians are strong and have recently completed their western expedition. Their main force is returning to the east. Not long after, they will invade the south. If we cannot integrate the resources of the various countries, the various countries in the Central Plains will only be defeated one by one."
"Integrating the resources of the various countries is easier said than done." Zhang Sanfeng frowned. The various countries in the Central Plains had been fighting each other for decades. Their hatred was already as deep as the sea. How would it be so easy for them to unite?
Just like during the war, the six countries of Guandong knew that they would not be a match for the Qin Kingdom if they did not unite. But the hundreds of years of hatred still caused them to suspect each other and plot against each other. In the end, they were defeated by the Qin Kingdom one by one.
"We have to do it even if it is not easy." Song Qingshu said in a low voice. "Great Master must be very clear about what the imperial court has been like these years."
"These few emperors are indeed outrageous." Zhang Sanfeng snorted heavily. He had lived for more than a hundred years. It could be said that he had accompanied the entire Song Dynasty as it grew up. He had witnessed many things with his own eyes. "Back then, Emperor Hui Zong favored and trusted treacherous officials. He sold official positions and titles. He pursued luxurious pleasures and did not care about the suffering of the people. Just the Birthday Proclamation alone made the people unable to make a living. The peasants revolted everywhere. Later, when the Jin invaded the south, the corrupt army collapsed at the slightest touch, causing the entire country to suffer unprecedented humiliation in history. Now that the government has come to power, it is not much better. In particular, the murder of Yue Fei has disappointed the people in the world. So, he has invited me to preach Taoism many times, but I have refused to meet him. "
"Great Master is really a man of character!" Song Qingshu thought of Zhang Sanfeng's deeds in the early years. He was also hot-tempered and hated evil. It was just that in recent years, he had become more and more benevolent.
"Since the ruling class is so corrupt, then we should change a group of people. The Chinese are about to face an unprecedented disaster. How can I put the fate of the entire nation on someone like Zhao Gou?" Song Qingshu said in a low voice, "This time, we can take the opportunity of Jia Shidao and King Yi's rebellion to change the world."
Zhang Sanfeng frowned and said, "But this will easily cause chaos in the country. It is not a blessing for the people. How can we spare the energy to deal with the Mongolians who are about to invade?"
Song Qingshu answered, "So I have spared Zhao Gou's life and let him continue to be the emperor in name. I even protected Jia Shidao's reputation and pushed everything to King Yi. Everything is for the smooth transition of the whole country."
Zhang Sanfeng nodded and said, "I am relieved that you see it so clearly. I have always been worried that you were driven by ambition and took the wrong path to the Devil's Path. Now that I know that you are trying to save the people of the world, I am relieved."
Song Qingshu smiled bitterly and said, "Great Master, you are exaggerating. The title of saving the people of the world is too great. Qingshu does not dare to accept it."
"Why not?" Zhang Sanfeng stared at him and said, "The Mongolians are extremely cruel. When they went west, they often destroyed countries and slaughtered cities. I do not want the people of the Central Plains to suffer such a disaster one day. If you can lead everyone to resist the Mongolians, what is it if not saving the people of the world? Don't worry, if anyone dares to say anything, I will personally go to them and beat them up! "
Song Qingshu was stunned as he listened. It was as if he could vaguely see how happy Zhang Sanfeng was when he was young. What followed was great joy. Zhang Sanfeng's reputation in the hearts of the people of the world was too high. With his help, many things could be easily solved, "Thank you, Great Master!"
At this moment, Song Yuanqiao ran in in a panic and said, "Master, Qingshu, something bad has happened. The Lu brothers have surrounded the foot of the mountain with their army. It seems like they are ready to attack."
