Chapter 18, Yu Lianzhou’s choice
In the bow of the ship.
Song Qingshu stood in it and let the breeze blow.
"Master, where are we going?" Qi Mu asked from the side.
Before, Song Qingshu just said he was leaving, not where he was going.
Song Qingshu looked at the river: "Go down the river, wherever you go."
"I have learned a lot."
"Okay." Qi Mu didn't ask any more questions, as long as Song Qingshu was safe anyway.
Down the river is Jiangnan. Those places are within the sphere of influence of the Sky Eagle Sect, so there will be no problems.
"Young Master, do you need to inform King Yin?"
Song Qingshu thought for a while: "No, we can just go and visit then."
"We don't have to reveal our whereabouts along the way."
"You just need to send a message to uncle and tell me to leave Wudang Mountain."
"I'll do it right away." Qi Mu breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Song Qingshu would hide it from Prince Yin.
Then it will be difficult for him.
There was the young master on one side and King Yin on the other, and he couldn't afford to offend either side.
Now Song Qingshu asked him to deliver the message.
After a while...
Song Qingshu was standing at the bow of the boat and was in a good mood.
At this time, a small boat appeared in his field of vision not far away.
His eyes suddenly focused.
The boat was very small, just like an ordinary fishing boat. There was a person standing on it, and even as the river water lapped against the boat, the figure remained tall and straight without any swaying.
Wudang Seven Heroes, Yu Lianzhou.
"Second uncle...is actually here." Song Qing wrote bitterly.
"It's so fast."
His speed was fast enough, and he left without even sending Wuji up the mountain.
But he was still stopped by his second uncle.
The boat slowly approached Song Qingshu, only a few dozen feet away in just a moment.
"Qingshu, why don't you say goodbye to your second uncle before you leave?" Yu Lianzhou's voice sounded without too much blame.
The moment the voice sounded, Yu Lianzhou left the boat, flew up a few dozen feet away, and stood squarely in front of Song Qingshu.
"who!"
"who!"
"..."
There was a commotion on the ship, and many people rushed over with weapons in hand.
The moment Qi Mu saw Yu Lianzhou, he secretly screamed.
This is Yu Lianzhou.
He shouted angrily at the people beside him.
"What are you doing!"
"This is Wudang Yu Erxia."
Everyone was shocked, saluted quickly, and then returned to their posts.
Qi Mu walked over quickly, with a look of fear on his face: "I've seen Yu Erxia."
"Please don't be offended if my subordinates are ignorant."
Yu Lianzhou looked at Qi Mu and said, "It's okay. I don't blame you for this."
"I'll talk to Qingshu."
"Go ahead."
Qi Mu breathed a sigh of relief, Yu Erxia among the Seven Heroes of Wudang is a really ruthless character.
"yes."
The river wind blew on Song Qingshu and Yu Lianzhou.
The sound of water and wind rang in their ears.
Both of them had complicated expressions, and neither of them spoke.
"Second uncle, I..." Song Qingshu was the first to break the calm.
Yu Lianzhou waved his hand: "Tell me what you really think."
"I want to hear what's in your heart."
Song Qingshu thought for a few seconds: "I don't want to get engaged. I don't want to take over Wudang. Second uncle, you know what I think."
"At least for now, I don't want to."
"So I have no choice but to leave!"
Of course Yu Lianzhou knew what Song Qingshu was thinking, otherwise he wouldn't have stopped the merchant ship to discuss with Song Qingshu.
But take it back directly.
"You must not get engaged?"
"What if it's someone else? My second uncle can take you to the Emei Sect, or you can choose anyone."
"As long as you like it or like it, my second uncle will solve it with you."
"No." Song Qingshu still shook his head.
"I make the decision on my own regarding marriage matters."
Yu Lianzhou was silent for a long time when he saw Song Qingshu's firm eyes.
"Qingshu, do you know why your father asked you to get engaged?"
"Why?" Song Qingshu always wanted to know why.
After all, he was only 14 years old, so it was too early.
Yu Lianzhou looked into the distance and made a helpless voice.
"Wuji still has a year and a half at most. If he doesn't get effective treatment, he may die young."
"Your great master wrote to the Emei sect, hoping to exchange the Nine Yang Divine Art, but Emei returned the letter intact."
"It's said that Master Miejie went into seclusion because of Ji Xiaofu's incident."
"Ji Xiaofu disappeared, I'm afraid something unexpected happened."
"Emei, the marriage between Wudang and Wudang is over."
"Actually, in my opinion, it's over when it's over. Wudang's generation has us."
"With you and Wuji in the next generation, Wudang will be great."
"Ke Wuji..."
Song Qingshu finally understood why at this time, no wonder his father was so insistent.
"Father hopes that I will marry Emei. Regardless of whether Emei Miejie Shitai is really in seclusion or fake, such important matters require communication."
"It's absolutely impossible for them to escape."
"Emei, we have always been good friends with Wudang. If it is really unavoidable, it would be hard for Master Miejie to refuse, right?"
Yu Lianzhou nodded, still looking into the distance, not looking at Song Qingshu.
"right."
"Ding Minjun is likely to be the future successor, so your engagement will be beneficial to both factions."
"Your father forced you because of Wuji."
"Nine-Yang Magic is available in Shaolin, Emei, and Wudang."
"Shaolin is absolutely impossible."
Song Qingshu looked at Yu Lianzhou, who was looking into the distance, and asked, "Second uncle, how do you want me to choose?"
Yu Lianzhou just shook his head slightly. Song Qingshu couldn't see Yu Lianzhou's eyes and expression.
The voice sounded again.
"I would like to hear your views."
"Or ideas."
"I've told you everything. You have been smart since you were a child, and you are no longer young now. You should decide many things by yourself."
"We people love Wuji for sure, but we also love you."
"To be fair, you are right about Wuji. You risked your life to save Wuji a year ago. This is a great kindness!"
"After Wuji was in Wudang Mountain, you took good care of him."
"All of us were concerned about Wuji's injury and ignored you, but you didn't have any dissatisfaction and still took care of Wuji."
"Wuji is sensible, but you are more sensible than him."
As he said that, Yu Lianzhou turned to look at Song Qingshu, with some heartache in his eyes.
"Qingshu, my second uncle doesn't know how to choose."
"You are still a child."
Song Qingshu saw too much helplessness and choices in the eyes of his second uncle Yu Lianzhou.
The two looked at each other like this for several seconds.
"Second uncle, I have to leave." Song Qingshu said.
"Huh..." Yu Lianzhou took a long breath.
"That's fine."
"Let's go."
Yu Lianzhou patted Song Qingshu, turned around and prepared to leave.
There are thousands of words in letting Song Qingshu leave without any words.
"Second uncle..." Song Qingshu shouted directly when he saw Yu Lianzhou leaving.
"Wuji's treatment still takes a year and a half, one year at most!!"
"If I find Aunt Ji Xiaofu within this year, then the Wudang-Emei marriage will still be there, and my marriage can be cancelled."
"If I can't find Aunt Ji Xiaofu, no matter whether Grand Master can cure Wuji or not, I will go back to Wudang Mountain in a year!"
"must!"
"I promise!"
Yu Lianzhou's strong back trembled slightly,
He didn't look back or respond, but jumped back onto the boat.
He didn't know how to face Song Qingshu.
He knew very well that it would be very difficult to find Ji Xiaofu. Emei and Wudang were all looking for her, but there was no news at all.
In addition, Ji Xiaofu was seen with people from the Ming Cult, so her chances of survival were slim.
He owes Song Qingshu, Wuji owes him, and the Seven Heroes of Wudang!
Song Qingshu gave up his dream of being in the world and his life for Zhang Wuji!
This is their responsibility, not Song Qingshu!
But now Song Qingshu needs to take the responsibility.
In one year, maybe Song Qingshu just wanted to experience the world dream in his heart.
A year later...Song Qingshu came back to get engaged and prepare to take over Wudang in the future.
At that time, Jiang Hu was by Song Qingshu's side, but he was already far away from him.
"Second uncle, thank you." Song Qingshu looked at Yu Lianzhou's leaving figure.
He could feel his second uncle's love for him.
The second uncle came just to say goodbye to him, not to take him back by force.
He wanted to leave, but his second uncle didn't stop him in any way.
He knew that Zhang Wuji would not die in the future, but others did not know that.
Father, second uncle, third uncle, no one else knows.
But the second uncle still didn't stop him and let him leave.
From the moment the second uncle got on the boat, he felt the inner struggle of the second uncle, so much so that the second uncle did not face him at all when he spoke.
So he finally said it was a year away!
He didn't want his second uncle to not know how to face his father and Wuji because of his own affairs.
In some ways, if Wuji dies in the future, the second uncle will suffer in his heart for the rest of his life.
After all, he was the one who let himself go!
"One year!"
"Ji Xiaofu!"
"Ding Minjun!"
"Engagement!"
Song Qingshu looked at the rolling river water and began to think.
Now that he knew the root causes of the engagement, he addressed them.
Originally just trying his luck to find Zhu Yuanzhang, You Li Jianghu now has a clearer goal.
Get dirty information about Ding Minjun.
When he returned to Wudang Mountain a year later, Zhang Wuji should have been at Dr. Hu Qingniu's place in Diegu by then, and his condition had improved.
I am bringing out some dirty information about Ding Minjun to suppress my fellow disciples, or something else.
His father and his uncles would definitely not let him get engaged if they found out.
As for Ji Xiaofu...Song Qingshu felt a little complicated inside.
This woman's entanglement with Wudang lasted for two generations.
It's troublesome...
