"So it's Young Duke Mu," Song Qingshu cupped his hands to return the greeting. "Compared to the Mu Mansion's many years of efforts to fight against the Qing and restore the Ming, Song Mou's little reputation is really not worth mentioning."
"Ah, Brother Song is in a high position in the Qing court, but you don't care about glory, splendor and wealth. I quite admire this." Mu Jiansheng suddenly looked guilty. "I'm ashamed to say this. I misunderstood you as an accomplice to the villain and cursed Brother Song behind his back."
"If I can assassinate Kangxi, sacrificing a little reputation is nothing. It's a pity that I failed at the last moment …" Song Qingshu looked regretful, but in his heart, he thought, "My ability to speak like a human and speak like a ghost seems to have greatly improved."
Mu Jiansheng hurriedly said a few words to comfort him. Suddenly, he thought of what he said just now and hurriedly asked, "Could it be that Brother Song also assassinated Kangxi to restore the Ming?"
Song Qingshu thought, "I'm a person from the future, of course I have no interest in restoring the Ming. Naturally, I have to start my own business and become my own boss." However, in this world, fighting against the Qing and restoring the Ming seemed to have quite a rallying power, so there was no need to reveal his true intentions so quickly. In the past, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu were so fierce, but they still had to use the banner of Emperor Yi. Zhu Yuanzhang also regarded Han Lin 'er as his nominal master. He should learn from them and not show off so much. "
"I have a close friendship with the former Ming Princess Changping …" Song Qingshu deliberately lowered his voice and said something ambiguous. He did not admit that he wanted to fight against the Qing and restore the Ming, but he did not deny it either. It was up to Mu Jiansheng to understand.
"Ninth Princess?" Mu Jiansheng's eyes bloomed with a trace of surprise. He suddenly realized and looked at Song Qingshu in surprise. He thought, "If that's the case, isn't Song Qingshu Emperor Chongzhen's son-in-law, the Emperor's son-in-law?" Mu Jiansheng's expression suddenly became more respectful.
Thinking that there would be such a capable general in the anti-Qing and restoring the Ming camp in the future, Mu Jiansheng could not suppress the joy in his heart. For many years, fighting against the Qing and restoring the Ming had no achievements. Not to mention other people in the Mu Mansion, even he was about to lose confidence.
"By the way, where is the Ninth Princess now?"
"A few days ago, she went to the Western Region to cultivate." Song Qingshu thought to himself that Zhu Pei would not blame him for taking advantage of her tiger skin. Speaking of which, he was also comforting her father's former subordinates.
Initially, because of Song Qingshu's reputation for assassinating Kangxi, Mu Jiansheng only treated him as someone on the same side. But now, because of Princess Changping, Mu Jiansheng subconsciously treated Song Qingshu as one of his own. The more he looked at Song Qingshu, the more he liked him.
"Brother Song, who are they?" Shifting his gaze to Icy Snow, Mu Jiansheng was startled. 'What a beautiful woman! Could she be Song Qingshu's wife? And this little girl, could she be their child?' What about the ninth princess?
Song Qingshu introduced, "This is the widow of Liaodong hero Hu Yidao, and this is the orphan of Golden Face Buddha Miao Renfeng."
"Hu Yidao? Miao Renfeng?" Mu Jiansheng's countenance turned somewhat unsightly.
Song Qingshu was stunned. He suddenly came to a realization and cursed inwardly. Originally, he thought that no matter if it was Hu Yidao or Miao Renfeng, they were both famous anti-Qing heroes in the pugilistic world. The people of the Mu Royal Residence should treat their families differently.
Unfortunately, when he noticed Mu Jiansheng's expression, Song Qingshu suddenly remembered that the ancestors of Hu Yidao and Miao Renfeng were the guards of the Roaming King, Li Zicheng, and it was Li Zicheng who forced Chong Zhen to his death.
Song Qingshu coughed lightly and hurriedly said, "Now that the strength of the Manchurian Qing is like the sun in the sky, only by uniting all the forces that can be united and establishing a united front will we have a chance to win."
"Uniting all the forces that can be united, establishing a united front …" Mu Jiansheng muttered to himself. Although he had never heard of these two sentences before, the words were crude but the reasoning was not crude. He quickly understood the meaning behind them and suddenly felt that they were wise words.
Mu Jiansheng looked at Song Qingshu with a complicated expression. "Brother Song is indeed a great talent. If we had understood this truth in the past, we would not have so easily given the remaining half of the Great Ming Dynasty to the Tatars."
"It is not too late to wake up now." Song Qingshu smiled slightly.
"Thank you, Brother Song, for your guidance." Mu Jiansheng nodded and called the people of the Mu Royal Residence over. "Let me introduce everyone."
"This is the world-famous Prince Song Song Qingshu. He and the Ninth Princess … are very good friends, so we are on the same side."
The people of the Mu Royal Residence were in an uproar. They whispered to each other. Mu Jianping looked worriedly at Fang Yi and saw that her face was slightly pale.
Fang Yi sighed in her heart. 'Sure enough, only a noble woman like the Ninth Princess is worthy of him. I am destined to only be a servant girl …'
Mu Jiansheng did not know the thoughts of these girls and introduced them one by one.
"This is my younger sister, Mu Jianping."
Song Qingshu sized up the cute girl and smiled in return. "Hello, Little Princess."
Seeing him greet her so formally, Mu Jianping's face turned red. She replied somewhat bewilderedly, "Song … Brother Song, you will be the … the son-in-law in the future. I should greet you."
Song Qingshu was stunned. He did not deliberately explain, but he felt strange in his heart. 'How did the cute little princess in the original work become a little stutterer?'
Mu Jiansheng continued to introduce the people of the residence. "This is Master Liu, the Iron-backed Blue Dragon, and this is Master Wu, the Sky-shaking Lion, Wu Lishen." "When I was still in the Qing court, I have heard of the fame of the two great experts of the Mu Royal Residence. Seeing you today, you two are indeed awe-inspiring." Song Qingshu said with a smile.
"Prince Song, please don't laugh at us." Liu Dahong and Wu Lishen could not help but blush. Although they were slightly famous in Jianghu, their martial arts and Song Qingshu's were like clouds and mud. However, being complimented by such a super expert, the two of them still felt quite good in their hearts. The way they looked at Song Qingshu was even more pleasing to the eye.
"These are the four great generals of our Mu Royal Residence, 'Liu, Bai, Fang, and Su'. For more than two hundred years, they have been loyal and devoted from generation to generation …" Mu Jiansheng suddenly thought of the betrayed Liu Yizhou and secretly sighed in his heart.
"Thank you, Prince Song, for avenging my brother. If you need my help in the future, as long as it does not harm the Mu Royal Residence, I, Bai Hanfeng, will not frown for a moment." Bai Hanfeng excitedly knelt on one knee and said.
Song Qingshu hurriedly helped him up: "Second Hero Bai, please don't be like this. Song Mou did not expect Feng Xifan to do such a vicious thing. I only regret that I did not stop him in time."
Bai Hanfeng hurriedly said: "Prince Song killed this evil person. My brother's spirit in heaven must be grateful to Young Master."
Mu Jiansheng hurriedly comforted him and continued to introduce:
"This is Divine Physician Su Gang."
"This is Fang Yi."
Song Qingshu and Su Gang exchanged a few greetings. When he saw Fang Yi, he could not help but smile bitterly to Mu Jiansheng: "Brother Mu, I know Miss Fang."
"Oh?" Mu Jiansheng showed a trace of surprise.
Before Song Qingshu could speak, Fang Yi rushed to explain: "Reporting to Little High Duke, when I was in the capital, Prince Song helped me many times."
Seeing that Fang Yi did not mention the relationship between the two, Song Qingshu could not help but be stunned. He was having a headache on how to explain.
This was the brilliance of Fang Yi. She clearly also realized that Song Qingshu was embarrassed. She understood that revealing the relationship between the two at this time would only make things difficult for Song Qingshu and would not be of any use.
Although Fang Yi boasted of her beauty, compared to Icy Snow who was by Song Qingshu's side, she had to admit that she was inferior. Moreover, there was also the noble Princess Changping … Fang Yi understood that she could only use other methods to win Song Qingshu's favor.
Looking at Fang Yi's cautious appearance, Song Qingshu seemed to recall the humble love described in some idol dramas in his previous life. He was suddenly filled with emotion and immediately made up his mind. Since he wanted her in the beginning, he could not abandon her after using her. In the future, he would definitely give her a place to return to.
Mu Jiansheng was obviously not very sensitive to matters of the heart. He did not notice the exchange of glances between the two. Soon, he asked: "Brother Song, are you also here to participate in the Golden Snake Convention this time?"
"Yes, this time the Manchurian army is pressing on the border. Someone invited me to go and help." Although the two chatted happily, Song Qingshu was not stupid enough to casually confess his relationship with Xia Qingqing to an outsider.
"This time, the Mu Royal Residence also received a hero's invitation from the Golden Snake Camp." Mu Jiansheng did not notice the subtle meaning in Song Qingshu's words. He thought that Song Qingshu had also received a hero's invitation like himself. "Although the philosophy of the Golden Snake Camp is to fight against both the Qing and the Ming, now that the Manchurian Qing is powerful, our Mu Royal Residence is also unwilling to see them be destroyed."
Mu Jiansheng then chuckled. "As for joining the Golden Snake Camp, I have self-awareness and have never thought about it. However, this time I met Brother Song, I feel that this is an opportunity."
"What opportunity?" Song Qingshu asked without batting an eyelid.
Mu Jiansheng said excitedly, "If Brother Song becomes the new Golden Snake King and leads the Golden Snake Camp to the righteous path, we can then join forces with the Heaven Earth Association, the Red Flower Association, and other organizations. The success of the great cause of fighting against the Qing is just around the corner."
"Brother Mu overestimates me too much," Song Qingshu said with a wry smile.
"With Brother Song's martial arts and reputation, it's not impossible for you to join the Golden Snake Camp," Mu Jiansheng said with a straight face. "Although our Mu Royal Residence does not have much ability, we have a bit of a reputation in Jianghu, so we will certainly help Brother Song."
Song Qingshu knew that it was not realistic to rely on martial arts to join the Golden Snake Camp this time. At the same time, he also needed a huge foundation and support from the masses. He originally planned to win over the Mu Royal Residence, but he did not expect that Mu Jiansheng would take the initiative to propose it.
The two hit it off and left the crowd. They found a secluded place to talk for a long time before separating.
Mu Jiansheng cupped his fists and said, "Brother Song, we still have to deal with Brother Bai's funeral affairs, so we won't be going with you. We'll meet again at the Golden Snake Meeting."
"In that case, we'll meet again someday." The journey was delayed for a lot of time. Song Qingshu knew that he should rush over as soon as possible. Xia Qingqing should have been waiting anxiously for a long time.
Seeing Song Qingshu holding Miao Ruolan and walking further and further away with Icy Snow, Fang Yi opened her mouth several times. She looked as if she wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. In the end, she did not say anything.
"Don't worry. I won't let you down."
A familiar voice suddenly came to her ears. Fang Yi understood that this was Song Qingshu telling her through the Secret Sound Transmission. Her tears immediately flowed uncontrollably.
"Don't be sad, Senior Sister." Seeing Fang Yi silently crying, Mu Jianping quietly pulled her sleeve and comforted her. "Next time I see him, I'll help you ask him even if Brother blames me."
