The Golden Snake Camp was a force to be reckoned with. Although the Southern Song Dynasty had made peace with the Manchurian Qing, they still didn't want their neighbors to live peacefully. Naturally, they didn't want the Golden Snake Camp to be completely destroyed by the Manchurian Qing.
When he heard that the Golden Snake Camp was electing a new Golden Snake King, Jia Shidao had an idea. He wanted to support a puppet to help him resist the Manchurian Qing. The puppet had to be powerful and loyal to the Southern Song Dynasty. After thinking about it, his advisors recommended Murong Fu of Gusu.
Murong Fu was a descendant of Murong Yanzhao, the Commandery Prince of Henan, who founded the Northern Song Dynasty. However, Murong Fu had lost his official position in his generation. The inner court of the Southern Song Dynasty believed that Murong Fu, as the descendant of a loyal minister, must be trustworthy. Moreover, Murong Fu's name in Jianghu was also very famous. "Qiao Feng of the North, Murong of the South" was so awe-inspiring that it increased their confidence in winning the Golden Snake King.
Therefore, Jia Shidao agreed to the plan. He sent Bei Haishi of the Changle Clan, who had long sought refuge with Murong Fu, to the north to help Murong Fu win the Golden Snake King. Of course, if Jia Shidao knew that the Murong family had been trying to revive the Yan Kingdom for generations, what would he think of his plan?
According to the information reported by the spy, Bei Haishi learned that the Golden Dragon Gang wanted to return to the south, so he secretly contacted Jiao Waner. Jiao Waner agreed to nominate Murong Fu. In exchange, Bei Haishi promised to arrange for the Golden Dragon Gang to return to Jinling.
Looking at the beautiful figure next to Murong Fu, Song Qingshu couldn't help but speculate maliciously. Since Wang Yuyan was here, would that romantic Duan Yu be nearby?
Then, the people in the hall began to compliment each other, but they were all talking about trivial things. Song Qingshu listened to them and yawned. Finally, they all stood up and left.
Song Qingshu quickly hid himself and followed behind Murong Fu and Wang Yuyan. He thought that he had a good relationship with Murong Fu, so he could ask him to mediate. That way, Jiao Wan 'er might change her mind. Song Qingshu looked at Murong Fu and Wang Yuyan.
"Cousin, why didn't you ask Gang Leader Jiao to support Song Qingshu? Didn't he just give you the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms manual? " Wang Yuyan's heavenly voice rang out, but to Song Qingshu, it was like a bolt from the blue. He hurriedly stopped himself and continued listening.
Murong Fu let out a sigh. "If it was an ordinary matter, it would be fine. However, I have received great kindness from him, so I should repay him with my life. However, this time, Golden Snake Battalion is going to re-elect a new Golden Snake King, and I'm determined to win the title. If I can be elected successfully, with the elite soldiers and mighty generals of Golden Snake Battalion, the day of the Great Yan Dynasty's revival will not be far away. "
"But is there really a need to do this?" Wang Yuyan furrowed her brows slightly. Back then, when Song Qingshu had come to her house in search of help, she had instructed him to try out the Divine Radiant Sutra. In truth, she had only read a few words about it from an ancient book, and she wasn't too confident that it would succeed.
After Song Qingshu thanked her profusely and left, not long after that, he rose to prominence in the martial world and became a famous expert of the younger generation. Wang Yuyan felt quite proud of him, and was filled with curiosity about what he had experienced.
Later on, when Wang Yuyan was captured by Jiu Mozhi, she bumped into Song Qingshu and was secretly taken care of by him. That was the reason why she didn't suffer any great losses. When Murong Fu came to rescue her, both of them could only watch helplessly as Song Qingshu was trapped in a tight encirclement, and eventually left him. From then on, not only did Wang Yuyan feel a sense of gratitude towards him, she also felt a sense of guilt.
When she found out that Song Qingshu had unreservedly given one of the supreme arts of the martial world, the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, to her cousin, Wang Yuyan's impression of him grew even more favorable, and she secretly admired Song Qingshu's noble character and unquestionable integrity.
Thus, when she heard that Murong Fu had advised Jiao Wan 'er to reject Song Qingshu's support, she was filled with doubt and anger. In front of outsiders, she had to consider Murong Fu's reputation, so she did not explode. Now that the two of them were alone, Wang Yuyan could no longer hold back and asked.
Murong Fu hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed. "This time, in order to prevent others from taking over the Golden Snake Camp, the mountain chiefs of the Golden Snake Camp have stipulated that all the candidates for the Golden Snake King must meet one condition — they cannot be the leader of a sect. This way, a large number of the top experts in the martial world will be eliminated. I have always prided myself on being well-versed in both the pen and the sword. In terms of martial arts, there are few who can rival me in my age group, so the chances of me becoming the Golden Snake King are very high. Who knew … who knew that Song Qingshu would also be participating! "
"So what if Song Qingshu is participating? The two of you are close friends, so you should be able to help each other during the selection process. Furthermore, with cousin's martial arts and the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms that you've recently obtained, you might not necessarily lose to him, "Wang Yuyan asked in confusion.
"You don't understand." Although Murong Fu had seen Song QingShu fight before, he had always held back, so he did not feel that there was a big gap between him and Song QingShu. Who knew that the masked man would tell him that he was no match for Song QingShu?
Although Murong Fu did not know that the masked man was Murong Bo, he had always received help from him, so he trusted him very much.
Murong Fu knew very well that Song Qingshu's martial arts cultivation was far higher than his. Since he said so, it must not be wrong. Therefore, in Murong Fu's heart, he had already regarded Song Qingshu as his biggest enemy in this Golden Snake King contest. It would be best if he could make him lose the qualification to participate in the contest.
"Cousin, even if you don't say it, I can still guess what you're thinking." Wang Yuyan inadvertently revealed a very disappointed expression. "In my heart, cousin is Nan Murong, who is as famous as North Qiao Feng, a hero with an indomitable spirit, not this scheming, narrow-minded, and despicable man in front of me."
"Shut up!" Murong Fu was furious. "You are just a woman, what do you know? Since ancient times, which one of those who achieved great things was not a cruel and merciless man? When I recover the Great Yan Kingdom and unify the world, who would not praise me as a hero? Since you like to speak up for Song Qingshu so much, why don't you go and find him? "
Wang Yuyan couldn't help but sob, "Cousin, you clearly know that I love you wholeheartedly, but you still say such words to slander me."
Looking at her tear-stained face, a trace of pity flashed across Murong Fu's face. But soon, he recalled his mother's teachings when he was a child, and understood that love was a hindrance to success. Immediately, he put on a straight face, snorted, flicked his sleeves, and left.
Murong Fu knew that this was the hinterland of the Golden Dragon Gang, and that Wang Yuyan would not encounter any danger. Therefore, he didn't worry too much about leaving her here.
Seeing that Murong Fu had decided to leave, Wang Yuyan became even sadder. She squatted next to the stairs, sobbing and wiping her tears.
"Miss, since your cousin doesn't know how to cherish you, have you ever considered finding another man to love?" Wang Yuyan was startled by the voice that suddenly rang in her ears. She raised her head and saw Song Qingshu sitting next to her, with a cynical smile on his face.
