When Song Xuan and Zhou Zhiruo left Hangzhou City, a light rain fell in the sky.

The earthy scent of the scent is wrapped in the wind and rain, which is cool and extraordinarily airy.

The refuge of the Hu family, a big dog, made Song Xuan feel very good, with such a rich man, he no longer needs to worry about money and food in the next few years.

However, Zhou Zhiruo was a little uneasy in her heart and raised questions.

"Senior brother, is that Hu Qian really reliable? If we leave, and he turns around and reports to the court that you are going to rebel, will this cause trouble?

The words that the senior brother said before to expel the Tartars and restore China, Zhiruo and the other women were all enthusiastic when they heard it. But I see that Hu Qian, although he is also moved, but in fact, he is not really moved by your ambition, senior brother!

This kind of person, I always feel that it is a little unreliable! ”

Song Xuan smiled and said, "Actually, what you said is right, that Hu Qian, in essence, is an opportunist, and the righteousness of the family and country is far less important than the interests of his Hu family." ”

"Then senior brother, do you still want to accept his refuge? also told him his ambitions, are you really afraid that he will turn against the water? ”

"I'm really not afraid of this!"

Song Xuan smiled, "That Hu Qian is a smart person, a smart person with interests in his eyes, so everything he does is just to maximize interests!"

This kind of person is easier to control.

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

Seeing that Zhou Zhiruo seemed to still have some doubts, Song Xuan continued: "The Hu family is in the Jiangnan realm, and its power has reached its limit, and if you want to go further, unless he Hu family rebels by himself, it is basically impossible!"

It's not that I look down on him, if his Hu family wants to rebel, it is estimated that he will not even be able to make a wave.

Hu Qian is also clear about this matter, so in this case, if Hu Qian is ambitious, he must find a suitable master, use the entire Hu family as a bargaining chip, and seek a good future for his family.

And Song Xuan, who is young, powerful, and 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 what you are worried about, report my rebellion to the Yuan Court......."

Speaking of this, Song Xuan couldn't help laughing a few times, "Not to mention that this is a complete offense to my Wudang faction, and the entire Hu family will be hunted down and killed by the big faction afterwards."

Even if you don't mention these, then Hu Qian won't dare! ”

Song Xuan smiled a little deeply, and said flatly: "In this world, persimmons are all soft pinching. It doesn't matter if I want to rebel or not, the important thing is that we martial arts factions are not easy to mess with!

The Yuan Dynasty was founded for decades, and the six major factions and Mingjiao still existed, you wouldn't think it was because the Yuan Dynasty was soft-hearted and unwilling to move the forces of the rivers and lakes, right?

They moved, and more than a few times, but each time they were in vain, and finally they acquiesced to the existence of these so-called martial arts factions. ”

Speaking of this, Song Xuan looked at Zhou Zhiruo and asked rhetorically: "You say, with the greedy nature of the Mongolian royal family, in the case of not being able to move my Wudang faction, the Hu family, a whistleblower with huge wealth and a lot of money, how will they arrange it?" ”

Zhou Zhiruo's watery face flashed with a hint of enlightenment, "Senior brother, as soon as you say this, Zhiruo will understand." It's good that Hu Qian doesn't report it, but if you report your rebellion, they will be the first to be unlucky.

Maybe you will be put on a big hat of collusion and rebellion, and you will be exterminated! ”

Song Xuan smiled and said, "Maybe the three words are inevitable!" Raiding their homes and exterminating their families is their inevitable end! ”

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

Zhou Zhiruo pursed her lips and said in a low voice: "Originally, I thought that the rivers and lakes were swords, swords, and shadows, fighting and killing, but after following my senior brother all the way, I realized that what I thought was too simple. ”

Song Xuan looked up at the sky, stretched out his palm, and the internal force of Jiuyang in the palm of his hand turned into a whirlpool, sucking the rain around him and gathering it in the palm of his hand, like a small water dragon that kept twisting its body.

"Fighting and killing between warriors is the rivers and lakes, and the world is also the rivers and lakes. As long as there are people, then the whole world will be rivers and lakes.

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

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

When the words fell, he flicked his fingers, and the small water dragon in the palm of his hand, like a silver-white sharp arrow, broke out of the air in an instant, piercing the trunk of an ancient tree on the side of the road.

Zhou Zhiruo said enviously: "Senior brother, your control of internal force has really reached the point of being superb!" ”

Song Xuan shook his head and said, "It's just a little trick, if you see the methods of my master Zhang Sanfeng, then you will understand what it means to be shocked!" ”

When Zhou Zhiruo heard this, her eyes suddenly showed a little expectation, but as for what she was looking forward to, she didn't know.

.......

After leaving Hangzhou, the two of them no longer delayed time, galloped all the way, and rushed towards the Wudang Mountain boundary.

Out of the border of Suzhou and Hangzhou, away from the bustling big city, what caught the vision of the two was the most real ruling situation of the Yuan Dynasty.

It's not that it's uninhabited, but it's pretty much the same.

When the Mongols entered the Central Plains, and then destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty to unify Jiangnan, the number of people killed was simply incalculable.

The Mongolian army has always been brutal, and loves to slaughter cities, many state capitals have been directly killed, even if decades have passed now, but many areas, still sparsely populated, has become a no-man's land.

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

Occasionally, I met a few families, but most of them were already empty, and even if there were people, most of them died in their homes, either starving to death or being hacked to death.

This era is an era of barbarism and the collapse of law and order.

Hunger, disease, banditry, rebellion, anything else can easily kill ordinary people.

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

It can be seen that this should be a family fleeing, but as a result, they were unlucky, encountered bandits or rebels, and were killed and robbed of their belongings.

"Wow.... Wow....."

At this moment, a cry sounded in the grass, and Song Xuan turned over and dismounted, walking towards the place where the cry sounded.

There, there was a female corpse, Song Xuan turned the corpse over, but found that under the corpse, there was a thin baby girl about one year old.

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

After noticing Song Xuan's figure, the baby girl put away her crying, but smiled, stretched out her finger, and shook it at him.

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

Hungry?

Would you like to lick it too?

At this scene, Zhou Zhiruo's face turned pale.

Song Xuan, on the other hand, subconsciously clenched his fists, his whole body was tense, and between his teeth, he seemed to be holding back hatred.

"Senior sister, now, do you understand, why do I have to rebel?!"
