In the jungle on the south bank of the Yangtze River.

Su Quan carried Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong left and right, walked through the forest like a fly, and after a while, he came to a deserted village and threw the two on the ground.

Kou Zhong screamed "ouch", rubbed his ass and got up, and complained, "Master Fairy, can you be a little gentler next time." ”

"Don't call me Master, I only promised to teach you martial arts, but I didn't promise to accept you as an apprentice. Also, I don't have much time, I can only teach you for ten days, and it's up to you how much you can learn. Su Quan's expression was cold, and he said lightly: "Don't talk nonsense, I'll pass on your qi practice method first, if there is something you don't understand, come and ask me again." The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is more than loss, so the void is better than the real, and the lack is better than the ......"

Su Quan read the general outline of Qi training of the "Nine Yin True Scripture" and said, "Do you two understand?" ”

The two nodded in unison, and Kou Zhong blinked and said, "Fairy Master has already said it so clearly, what else is there not to understand." It's like the law of nature, which always balances everything, like the flow of water, which always flows from high places to low places, high mountains will fall, and low valleys will be filled. ”

Xu Ziling patted his head and said: "The contradictions in things are always opposite and unified, such a simple truth, why haven't we found it before, Zhong Shao, are we too stupid." ”

"Now that you understand, don't hurry up and practice." Su Quan secretly rolled his eyes, and said in his heart, the qualifications of these two people are indeed terrifying, and no matter how profound the martial arts principles are, in front of them is as simple as eating and drinking, just like two pieces of undeveloped jade, as long as someone helps them pierce that layer of window paper, they can bloom with a thousand feet of light.

"Fairy Master, don't be angry, this is our cultivation." Kou Zhong said with a hippie smile, took Xu Ziling into the forest, found a flat place to sit cross-legged, and practiced luck.

But after a cup of tea, Kou Zhong jumped up from the ground and shouted, "My mother, I have practiced true qi, and there is a flow of air flowing in my body, which is really amazing. ”

Xu Ziling opened his eyes and hummed angrily: "Young Master Zhong, can you be quiet for a while, let me first attribute my true qi to the dantian." ”

Su Quanjue himself has nothing to teach at all, just throw the secret tips to them.

……

Located in the west of Yangzhou, Danyang is an important transit point for the Yangtze River waterway traffic, where cargo ships from the south to the north often stop for repairs and replenishment.

However, recently, the rebel army led by Li Zitong in the East China Sea has just flowed through the Huaishui, formed an alliance with Du Fuwei, the general manager of the Jianghuai Army, and sent an army to approach Liyang.

Although the righteous army occupies the word "righteousness", but what they do has nothing to do with the word "righteousness", especially Du Fuwei's Jianghuai army, with a reckless uprising, burning, killing and looting everything, and bandits in general, if they occupy Liyang, cut off the Yangtze River waterway, waterway goods must change the route.

As a result, many merchant ships gathered on the docks, and the merchants were waiting on the sidelines and waiting for the results.

On this day, four giant ships with the word "Song" docked at Danyang Wharf, and the crew members disembarked in turn and rested for reorganization.

Song Shidao boarded the Danyang Restaurant, sat down in the window seat, ordered a table of wine and food, and was eating, when he suddenly heard a sigh coming from the table.

"The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, and the waves are sweeping away the heroes. Success or failure turns empty. The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times. On the white-haired fisherman river, accustomed to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze. A pot of turbid wine is happy to meet. How many things in ancient and modern times are laughing and talking. The tone was low and melodious, and there was a strange charm that made people's hearts palpitate.

Song Shidao's eyes were bright, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look, but he saw a richly dressed young man in brocade standing in front of the window looking at the Yangtze River, with an outstanding temperament, and suddenly had the heart of friendship, stood up, and arched his hand: "In the lower Song Shidao, I heard Brother Tai reciting a good sentence just now, and I admired it very much. ”

"Brother Song is polite." The young man in brocade chuckled, walked to Master Song's table, picked up his wine glass and said, "I occasionally feel it in my heart, and on a whim, disturb Brother Song's meal, and punish him with a glass of wine first." ”

He drank the wine from his glass before he sat down across from him.

"Being able to hear such a good sentence is Song's blessing, and Song respects his brother for a cup." Song Shidao also accompanied a glass of wine before saying, "Haven't you asked my brother Taigao's surname yet?" ”

"Bloom in the bottom, 'a hundred flowers bloom'." Qi Fangdao.

"Listening to Brother Qi's tone, it seems that he has encountered some difficulties, can you tell me about it, the Han family is still a little famous, if there is something useful, you can also do your best in the future." Song Shidao said.

"Brother Song has a heart, in fact, it is not a difficult thing. I wanted to go to Sichuan and Shu to see the scenery and historic sites of Shu, and I heard that Liyang was in war and water transportation was blocked, so I was a little sad for a while, but it made Brother Song smile. Qi Fang said.

"This is a coincidence, I am also about to go to Shuzhong, if Brother Qi does not give up his suspicion, he can board the merchant ship below, even if he encounters thieves, he will not be disturbed." Song Shidao opened his mouth to invite, and his tone was very sincere.

"Brother Song talks and talks vigorously, and his aura is extraordinary, obviously he is not an ordinary person in the rivers and lakes, the Song family ...... Could it be the Lingnan Song Valve, I don't know what Brother Song and the Lord of the Song Valve call called? Qi Fang said.

"It's my father." Master Song said.

"It turned out to be Song Gongzi, disrespectful and disrespectful." Arch your hands.

"I don't dare to be, they are all in the shadow of the ancestors, and their abilities are shallow, and they have not yet made any achievements, but they are already satisfied if they don't let their ancestors be ashamed." Song Shidao is modest and authentic.

……

Song Valve was engaged in the private salt business, and four cargo ships transported the illegal salt from the coastal counties to inland Sichuan through the Yangtze River, handed it over to the partner Duzunbao, and then distributed it to the local salt merchants, making huge profits.

In the evening, Song Shidao set up a banquet in the cabin, simple and grand, attended by Song Lu and his concubine Liu Jing.

Song Lu is about forty years old, born with white hair and silver beard, but he does not have the slightest aging, he is heroic and majestic, and he has his own temperament.

In this chaotic year, a scholar is a very noble existence, as long as he has a little talent and understands some poetry and strategy, he can become a guest of honor of various forces.

Song Lu heard Qi Fang's poems from Song Shidao, not to mention that he was shocked, but he also attached great importance to it, so his attitude was very modest and polite.

Liu Jing is about twenty-five or sixteen years old, born quite beautiful, bewitching, giving people a feeling of smoky and flattering, by no means a woman from a good family, Qi Fang guessed, this woman is likely to be a famous prostitute Oiran of a certain Qinglou, who was ransomed by Song Lu as a concubine, this kind of thing is really common for the gate lord clan.

For the nobles, the status of the concubine is only higher than that of the Tongfang Yahuan, and even in many places, there is a custom of giving concubines, just like giving cattle and sheep money.

Qi Fang released the power of the divine soul, swept over Liu Jing's body, and found that she had practiced some flattery skills to seduce men, but her skills were still shallow and superficial.

"The eight CDs of women who practice Mei Gong on the rivers and lakes are inseparable from the Yin Sect, judging from the appearance and skill of this woman, even if she is born in the Yin Sect, she is not in the three lines of heaven, earth and man, at most she is only a disciple of the outer sect." Qi said secretly with peace of mind.

Greetings, wine over thirty years.

Song Lu said in some school examinations: "Qi Gongzi is full of poetry and books, full of economy, I don't know what he thinks about the current situation today." ”

Qi Fang glanced at him with his eyelids raised, a little lacking in interest, and said lazily: "The Great Sui is already declining, and it will fall apart in a few days." The remaining forces, in addition to the four major lords, belong to the thirteen righteous armies, of which there are only three of the most promising to win the world, namely the Li valve who lives in Chang'an, the Wagangzhai located in Xingyang and the noble valve, the rest are not to worry, although it seems to be a thousand weather, but it is just to make a wedding dress for others. ”

Song Lu's eyes lit up, and he asked, "I want to hear it in detail." ”

Qi Fang smashed his mouth, laughed, and said: "What is there to say, Xue Ju, Liang Shidu, Liu Zhouwu, Gao Kaidao, these four people are not in a good position, they are located on the border, and they can't even enter the Central Plains, so there is nothing to say, it is not worth mentioning." Zhu Cang is brutal and unkind, and has no imperial atmosphere. Du Fuwei was born recklessly, raised soldiers like bandits, occupied an area as the king, and was more than enough to be a bandit mountain king, but if he wanted to unify the Central Plains, he didn't have that talent. Although Dou Jiande, Li Zitong and Shen Faxing are in a good position, their territory is too small, their foundation is weak, and they are surrounded by enemies on all sides, and they are unable to expand. Although Xiao Mo and Lin Shihong have good weather, they are located south of the Yangtze River, and they are close to the noble valve, as long as the heavenly knife comes out, these two are dead souls under the knife. Wang Shichong of Luoyang and Li Mi of Wagangzhai are the two with the greatest chances among all the rebels, but only one of them can survive, and only by annexing each other can they be qualified to win the world. But in my opinion, Wang Shichong occupied the land, Li Mi won the people, and the two fought each other, most of them lost both, and finally Li Valve benefited from the fisherman. ”

In a few words, he commented on all the heroes in the world.

Song Lu frowned slightly, and said, "According to what Mr. said, the most optimistic is Li Valve?" ”

Qi Fang shook his head and said, "No, no, the situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, who can say for sure this kind of thing." The key is to see what your owner thinks and does. ”

Song Lu arched his hand and said, "What does Mr. mean?" ”

Qi Fang said lightly: "The Lord of the Song Dynasty is majestic and strategic, and his achievements cover the world, but because he is located in the extreme south, there are only two roads in front of you. The first is to immediately send troops to level the major forces south of the Yangtze River in one fell swoop, first to occupy half of the country, and then slowly to the north. The second is to choose a rebel army in the north to form an ally to help it expand, and then attack the north and south together to unify the Central Plains in one fell swoop. You have not made the slightest move to send troops until now, and it seems that you have made a second choice. From the perspective of the Song lord, most of the allies chosen are Wagangzhai. ”

Song Lu glanced at Song Shidao, with three points of doubt and seven points of shock in his eyes.

Song Shidao shook his head slightly, how could he easily reveal such a confidential matter to others.

Song Valve did have the intention of forming an alliance with Wagangzhai, and even the conditions for the alliance were negotiated. The best way to form an alliance in this era was marriage, and Song Que married Song Yuzhi to Li Mi's only son, Li Tianfan, and sent troops to help him seize the world.

In the end, if he succeeds in winning the championship, Song Yuzhi will be the queen of a country, and Song Valve can also become the first scholar family in the world.

"Just ......"

When Qi Fang said this, he suddenly turned around and said, "If you make a choice, you must be firm and fight with all your might." Fighter planes tend to be fleeting, and it's best to get into action now. If you want to wait for the situation to clear up before entering, I am afraid that in the end, you will be in vain. ”

"Mr. Jin Yu said that Song will definitely tell his brother." Song Lu arched his hand and said tentatively. "Mr. has seen people, has the talent of the world, and I don't know where to go. If the gentleman is willing to help, he is willing to treat him. ”

"Thank you Brother Song for your kindness, but it's a pity that Qi Mouzhi is not here." Qi Fang shook his head.

"This is the time for my generation to show its ambitions. Mr.'s ability is comparable to Liuhou Zhuge , if he doesn't go out of the picture, wouldn't he waste a talent. Song Lu persuaded, his tone was sincere, which made people feel good.

This sycophant shot was very comfortable, but he still shook his head, and said leisurely: "Peach Blossom Nunnery in Peach Blossom Dock, Peach Blossom Fairy under Peach Blossom Nunnery." The peach blossom fairy planted peach trees and picked peach blossoms for wine money. When you wake up, you only sit in front of the flowers, and when you are drunk, you come to sleep with the flowers. Half-drunk and half-awake day after day, the flowers fall and bloom year after year. I hope that the old man will die in the wine room, and he will not bow in front of the carriage and horse. The dust of the car and the horse are full of obvious things, and the wine cup flower branch hermit fate. If the manifest is compared to a hermit, one on the plain earth and one in the heavens. If the flowers and wine are compared to the carriages and horses, why should they be idle and I will be idle. The world laughs at me for being crazy, and I laugh at others for not being able to see through it. I don't see the tomb of Wuling Haojie, and there are no flowers and no wine hoeing fields...... Qi was a little tired and retired first. ”
