The Heavens: Starting from Traveling through Song Qingshu

Chapter 13 Baby
When Song Xuan and Zhou Zhiruo left Hangzhou City, it was raining lightly in the sky.

The breath with earthy aroma is entangled in the wind and rain, which is cool and refreshing.

The support of the wealthy Hu family made Song Xuan feel very good. With such a rich man, in the next few years, he would no longer need to worry about money and food.

Zhou Zhiruo, on the other hand, felt a little uneasy and asked a question.

"Brother, is Hu Qian really reliable? If we leave and he reports to the court that you want to rebel, will this cause trouble?
Zhiruo's blood boiled with excitement when the elder brother said the words of expelling the Tartars and restoring China.But I think that Hu Qian, although he was also moved by his intentions, was actually not really moved by your ambition, senior brother!

I always feel that this kind of person is a bit unreliable! "

Song Xuan smiled and said: "Actually, what you said is correct, Hu Qian is essentially a speculator, and the interests of his family and the country are far less important than the interests of his Hu family."

"Then Senior Brother, you still want to accept his refuge? You also told him your ambition, are you really afraid that he will betray you?"

"This, I'm really not afraid!"

Song Xuan smiled, "Then Hu Qian is a smart man, a smart man who has his eyes on the interests, so what he does is just to maximize the benefits!

This kind of person is easier to control.

Because looking at the whole world, there is no one else who can bring the greatest benefits to his Hu family except me! "

Seeing that Zhou Zhiruo seemed to be a little confused, Song Xuan continued: "The Hu family is in the Jiangnan border, and its power has reached its limit. If you want to go further, unless the Hu family rebels, it is basically impossible!
It's not that I look down on him, if his Hu family wants to rebel, they probably won't even be able to make waves.

Hu Qian is also aware of this matter, so in this case, if Hu Qian has ambitions, he must find a suitable enlightened leader and use the entire Hu family as a bargaining chip to find a good future for his family.

And Song Xuan, who is young, capable, has the ambition to compete in the world, and has the support of the martial arts faction behind him, is the best choice he can meet.

As for your concern about reporting me to Yuan Ting for rebellion"

Speaking of this, Song Xuan couldn't help laughing a few times, "Let's not say that doing so will completely offend my Wudang faction, and the entire Hu family will be hunted down by the big faction afterwards.

Even if you don't mention these things, then Hu Qian wouldn't dare! "

Song Xuan smiled deeply, and said flatly: "In this world, persimmons are always picky. It doesn't matter whether I want to rebel, what matters is that we martial arts masters are not easy to mess with!
In the decades since the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, the six major sects and the Mingjiao still exist. You don’t think it’s because the Yuan court is soft-hearted and doesn’t want to touch the forces of the world, do you?
They have moved, and more than a few times, but every time they have failed, and finally they have acquiesced in the existence of these so-called martial arts schools. "

Speaking of this, Song Xuan looked at Zhou Zhiruo, and asked back: "You said, with the greedy temperament of the Mongolian royal family, and under the circumstances that we can't touch my Wudang faction, the Hu family, who has a huge wealth and a filthy rich whistleblower, How will they arrange it?"

A gleam of understanding appeared on Zhou Zhiruo's face as smooth as water, "Brother, Zhiruo will understand when you say that. It's good that Hu Qian didn't report it, but if they report you for treason, they must be the first to suffer.

Maybe he will be labeled as a collusion and treason, and the family will be ransacked and exterminated! "

Song Xuan nodded and said with a smile: "Replace the three characters of "maybe" with "certainty! Trapping the family and destroying the family is their inevitable end!"

"So, I like to cooperate with smart people. I can see these consequences, and Hu Qian can naturally see them too. I don't need to explain what can be done and what can't be done!"

Zhou Zhiruo pursed her lips, and said in a low voice: "At first, I thought that the Jianghu was all about fighting with swords, lights and swords, but after following senior brother all the way, I realized that my thinking was too simple."

Song Xuan raised his head to look at the sky, and stretched out his palms. The inner force of the nine suns in the palms turned into a vortex, which sucked the rainwater from all around and gathered them in the palms, like a tiny water dragon that kept twisting its body.

"Fighting and killing among warriors is a arena, and the world is also a arena. As long as there are people, the whole world is a arena.

In this world, there has never been any distinction between temples and rivers and lakes.

Temples are both rivers and lakes, and rivers and lakes also exist in temples! "

After saying that, he flicked his fingers, and the tiny water dragon on the palm of his hand, like a sharp silver arrow, pierced through the air in an instant, piercing through the trunk of an ancient tree by the roadside.

Zhou Zhiruo said enviously: "Brother, your control of internal power has really reached the point of perfection!"

Song Xuan shook his head, and said: "It's just some small tricks, if you have seen my great master Zhang Sanfeng's methods, then you will understand what it means to be astonished as a heavenly man!"

When Zhou Zhiruo heard the words, there was a little expectation in her eyes. As for what to expect, I don't know.

After leaving Hangzhou, the two of them didn't waste any more time and galloped all the way towards the boundary of Wudang Mountain.

After leaving the boundaries of Suzhou and Hangzhou, away from the bustling big city, what caught the eyes of the two of them was the most real situation of the rule of the Yuan Dynasty.

Not to mention that there is no one inhabited for thousands of miles, but in fact it is almost the same.

When the Mongols entered the Central Plains and then wiped out the Southern Song Dynasty and ruled the south of the Yangtze River, the people they killed were simply incalculable.

The Mongolian army has always been brutal and loves to slaughter cities. Many state capitals were directly killed. Even after decades, many areas are still sparsely populated and have become no-man's land.

Along the way, Song Xuan and Zhou Zhiruo, unless they were on their way to towns, it was difficult to meet a few people in the wild mountain villages.

Occasionally, I met a few families, but most of them had been emptied. Even if there were people, most of them died at home, either starved to death or hacked to death.

This era is an era of barbarism and the collapse of laws and regulations.

Hunger, disease, banditry, military chaos, anything, can easily kill ordinary people.

For example, at this moment, the two stopped on the official road and looked at the corpses lying in disorder in the grass beside the road. Their bodies were covered with wounds.

It can be seen that this should be a family who went out to escape, but they were unlucky and encountered bandits or rebels, who were killed and robbed of their property.

"Wow wow."

At this moment, there was a cry in the grass, Song Xuan got off his horse and walked towards the place where the cry came.

There, there was a female corpse. Song Xuan turned the corpse over, only to find that under the corpse, there was still a skinny baby girl about one year old.

The baby girl's body was already stained red with blood, perhaps because she was too hungry, she was sticking out her tongue and sucking the blood on her fingers with difficulty.

After noticing Song Xuan's figure, the baby girl stopped crying, instead smiled, stretched out her finger, and shook him.

Although he couldn't speak, Song Xuan understood the meaning.

Are you hungry?
Do you want to lick it too?
Seeing this scene, Zhou Zhiruo's complexion turned pale.

Song Xuan, on the other hand, clenched his fists subconsciously, his whole body tensed up, and his teeth seemed to be suppressing hatred.

"Junior Sister, now, do you understand why I have to rebel?!"
