"How is this possible?" It was no wonder that Song Qingshu had an incredulous look on his face. Ah Qing was obviously ignorant of worldly affairs and seemed to be aloof from worldly affairs. Why would she participate in this?
"That's the truth." Xia Qingqing also had a depressed look on her face. "In this Golden Snake King election, whether or not one is nominated and approved by half of the leaders depends on the prestige and influence of that person in Jianghu. It doesn't matter how naive the candidate looks on the surface. This is because the person who can pass has a huge force behind him to help him. That's what the leaders are more interested in. As for the following process of the election, the other leaders unanimously agreed that Jianghu affairs should be left to Jianghu, and the final winner will be decided by martial arts … "
Song Qingshu listened carefully to her explanation and understood that the rules of this Golden Snake King election were simple and crude. The candidates would directly compete in pairs, and the winner would advance to the next round, and so on. The final winner would be the new Golden Snake King.
"Isn't this similar to the football and basketball competitions in my previous life? First, the top 16 will compete to determine the top 8, then the top 4 will be selected from the top 8, and the top 4 will compete to determine the two who will participate in the final …" Song Qingshu quickly understood the rules.
"I can only try to make it as late as possible for you to meet Ah Qing. I hope she will be eliminated midway." There were so many sudden changes in this Golden Snake Gathering, which gave Xia Qingqing a headache.
"How can she be eliminated?" Song Qingshu looked depressed. "If someone can really eliminate Ah Qing, I don't know how powerful that person's martial arts will be, and I won't be able to defeat him."
Situ Bolei said in surprise, "What's the origin of that girl? Even with Prince Song's martial arts, he is no match for her?"
Song Qingshu smiled bitterly and said, "She is a sword immortal who has descended to the world. How can a mortal like me defeat her?"
"How can there be immortals in this world?" Zhu Mang suddenly interrupted, "Song, I know your martial arts best. I'm afraid there are few opponents in this world. No matter how powerful that girl's martial arts are, if you really fight with her, you will only have a fifty-fifty chance. Why are you afraid before the fight?"
Song Qingshu's expression froze. He knew that the description of Ah Qing in the novels from his past life was still in his mind, and he subconsciously thought of her as an invincible sword fairy. However, his life experience was also unimaginable. What he had learned were the top martial arts in the world. The Joy Zen of the Tantric Sect was close to the Way of Cultivation. Speaking of which, he was not an ordinary mortal.
With this thought in mind, Song Qingshu suddenly felt his spirits rise. He laughed loudly and said, "Ah Jiu, thank you for your warning. If she's a Sword Immortal, then I'm a Sword Demon. I refuse to believe that a Demon can't defeat an Immortal! "
Seeing that he had regained his fighting spirit, Zhu Yuehua pursed her lips into a smile and thought to herself, "This is the man I chose."
"By the way, who are the remaining nominees?" Song Qingshu asked worriedly. Since Ah Qing had appeared, it wouldn't be strange for Dugu Seeking-A-Loss to appear later.
"Because this time we're choosing a new leader for the Golden Snake Battalion, everyone unanimously decided that the candidates can't be heads of other sects and the like. Therefore, the candidates are either loners or ordinary disciples of other sects. However, there's an exception." Xia Qingqing didn't answer directly. Instead, she explained first.
"What exception?" Song Qingshu asked curiously.
"Tian Di Hui's Zongduozhu Chen Jinnan. In this life, I don't know Chen Jinnan, so it's useless to call him a hero. Zongduozhu Chen's prestige and reputation in Jianghu is too great. Therefore, when Zheng Qiyun, the leader of the seventy-two islands overseas, nominated him, everyone made an exception and agreed." Xia Qingqing's face immediately revealed a strange expression. "It's reasonable to say that Head Zheng and the Zheng family of Taiwan are distant relatives. Why didn't he nominate someone from the Zheng family of Taiwan?"
"I'm afraid I know the reason." Song Qingshu promptly told everyone about the conflict between him and Zheng Keshuang, how he killed Feng Xifan, and how he made Zheng Keshuang scram back to Taiwan with his tail between his legs.
Zhu Yanai nodded slightly. "No wonder Zheng Qiyun nominated Chen Jinnan at the last minute. Although Tian Di Hui has developed rapidly in recent years, it's gradually showing signs of disharmony. Those people in the Taiwan government often constrain Tian Di Hui, so there's already a gap between the two sides. However, Tian Di Hui has a deep relationship with the Zheng family, and Chen Jinnan has the trust of Yan Ping Jun Wang. It's understandable that Zheng Qiyun had no choice but to recommend Chen Jinnan. "
"Ah Jiu, the Zheng family of Taiwan is one of the few remaining forces of the Ming Dynasty. Have you been in contact with them?" Song Qingshu asked curiously.
"I've been to the Taiwan government once." A trace of displeasure flashed across Zhu Yanai's face. "Those people from the Zheng family have the temperament of occupying a mountain and acting like a king. Moreover, they have the intention of competing for the Central Plains. I saw that they didn't really want to fight against the Qing and restore the Ming, so I was disappointed and quietly left."
Song Qingshu hesitated for a moment before saying, "Ah Jiu, there's something I don't know if I should say."
Zhu Yanai was startled. "What is it?"
Song Qingshu replied, "At that time, the Manchurian Qing was very powerful. Even if you knew that the Zheng family was disloyal, you should have dealt with them more and united all the forces that could be united. Only then would you have a chance of success. Just like Tian Di Hui's Mu Palace's struggle for the position of Tang Wang and Gui Wang, you haven't even dealt with the Tatars, but you've already killed each other."
Zhu Yanai smiled and shook her head. "Song Dage, sometimes when I hear you talk, I feel like you didn't grow up in this world. The concept of status is deeply ingrained in the bones of everyone in this world. As the saying goes, if one's status isn't legitimate, it won't be justified. "
"What do you mean it won't be justified?" Song Qingshu sneered incessantly. "In the end, it's that group of people who want to follow the emperor. They're worried that the person supported by the other party will become the emperor. They'll risk their lives and work hard for a lifetime only to get nothing in return."
Zhu Yanai was startled. "What you said is somewhat reasonable."
Xia Qingqing laughed tenderly. "Right now we're discussing the election of the Golden Snake King, why are you talking about it so far? Besides, our Golden Snake Battalion is against both the Qing and the Ming. You're talking about these things in front of me, how am I supposed to behave? "
Zhu Yanai came back to her senses and explained, "I'm not such a stubborn person. Qingqing, aren't you guys the traitors of the past? I can still make friends with you because we have different standpoints. Taiwan's Zheng family is different. As the Great Ming's subjects, they have the heart to stand on their own feet. It's really annoying. "
"All right, all right, my Ninth Princess, quickly calm down." Xia Qingqing came to her side and gently rubbed her chest. After the night she healed Song Qingshu together, the two of them were obviously much closer. This kind of intimate action was very natural for Xia Qingqing.
Zhu Yanai felt a bit uncomfortable being rubbed by her chest. She angrily pushed away her naughty hand and said, "Let's talk about Song Dage's opponents."
Zhu Yanai unrolled a scroll and pointed at the names on it one by one to explain to Song Qingshu.
"Let's not talk about you being recommended by Qingqing and General Situ for now. The former Ming Dynasty's Zongbing Shui Jian nominated Jinyang's Hero Xiao Banhe. Xiao Banhe is kind, generous, and loyal. He is very famous in the Jinyang area. He has also practiced the Art of Origin to perfection. You've fought before, so you should have an impression of him. "
Song Qingshu nodded. When he saved Shui Sheng, he was regarded as a pervert and fought with her for a few moves. His Art of Origin was unique.
"Sha Tongtian of the Evil Tiger Valley should have been bribed by the Sun Moon Sect. He nominated Holy Nun's lover, Linghu Chong. Linghu Chong is a young hero who has risen to fame in the Five Mountains Sword Sect in recent years. His swordsmanship is extremely exquisite. It's rumored that he learned the Sword Sage Feng Qingyang's Solitary Nine Swords. Last time, he saved Ren Woxing from the Plum Manor and learned the extremely strange Absorbing Stars. When I stayed at the Black Wood Cliff with the identity of the Ming Dynasty's Holy Maiden, he seemed to be seriously injured and bedridden. I don't know why he suddenly recovered this time. "
Song Qingshu thought that Linghu Chong might have been saved by the Revered Ming. No wonder Zhao Min resolutely gave up the idea of choosing Yang Miaozhen as the spokesperson when she found out that the Red Coat Army and the Sun Moon Sect had formed an alliance. She knew that the Sun Moon Sect had the backing of the Ming Dynasty.
"The Azure Bamboo Sect nominated an iron-headed youth called You Tanzhi. It's said that he's the disciple of the Xingxiu Immortal. He seems to have a close relationship with the Hebei Beggar Sect's elder, Quan Guanqing. This person's martial arts are unknown, but he's from the Xingxiu Sect. We must be wary of his poison skills. "
"You Tanzhi." Song Qingshu recalled that in the original work, his ice inner force made Xiao Feng suffer. He wondered if he would be affected by his ice inner force.
"The Golden Dragon Sect's Jiao Wan 'er couple nominated Murong Fu from Gusu. The Golden Dragon Sect is a big sect in Jinling City. It's normal for them to nominate Murong Fu, who is also from Gusu. Although the Murong family's Shifting Stars is famous in Jianghu, I don't think he's a match for you. "
"Of course he's not a match for me. Otherwise, why would he think of a way to stop me from participating?" Song Qingshu sneered in his heart.
"The Roaming Dragon Sect's Chief Rong nominated a disciple called He Shiwo from the Jiangnan Beggar Sect. This person is Nameless in the Beggar Sect, so his martial arts shouldn't be that good. Oh, by the way, Gang Leader Rong also played a part in getting your nomination approved, Big Brother Song. "
Song Qingshu smiled bitterly. Zhao Min really kept her word. She said she helped him get the nomination, and she really did it. He Shiwo, He Shiwo, wasn't it Huo Dou? Zhao Min's plan was really deep. She even extended her hand to Jiangnan. However, this Golden Snake Convention was full of masters. Although Huo Dou's martial arts were not bad, it was not enough. He didn't know what Zhao Min was planning.
Zhu Yong continued, "The abbot of the Qingliang Temple, Reverend Shi Li, nominated a Shaolin Temple disciple named Xu. In the Shaolin Temple, there are many masters named Xuan and Kong. Those named Xu are all new disciples. I'm afraid their martial arts are limited."
"Don't tell me he's called Xuzhu?" Song Qingshu had a strange look on his face.
"Do you know him?" Zhu Yong was surprised.
"Nothing, go on." Song Qingshu smiled bitterly. Xuzhu, this ordinary looking little monk, would probably surprise everyone this time. However, the Exquisite Chess Game had not happened in this world, so where did Xuzhu get his martial arts?
