Chapter 36: The people are in dire straits and meet the eight brothers of the Zhu family by chance
"Sir, what identity do you want to hide?"
"Travel a bit?"
In the official road, the horses are running fast.
Qi Mu asked curiously as he followed Song Qingshu.
When setting off, all of them changed their clothes, and Song Qingshu was no exception.
"Yes." Song Qingshu responded.
"Since Uncle Liu wants me to practice, he should practice well. It is not good to be known as Wudang."
"Isn't it?"
Qi Mu smiled innocently and had no words.
If Song Qingshu had Wudang's name, he would indeed save a lot of trouble.
The Wudang Seven are admired by countless people.
Three hours later, the rain had stopped.
Everyone has left Hanyang and arrived at a village only dozens of kilometers away from Qingshi Ferry.
Qi Mu said: "Sir, not far ahead is Baimu Village."
"We can take a break there and cross over at night."
"Okay." Song Qingshu didn't refute.
He had read the map before coming and had some understanding of the surrounding situation.
Everyone dismounted and headed towards the village.
Before Song Qingshu entered the village, he saw the abandoned fertile fields around him.
Outside the messy houses around, many people were sitting outside, as tall as sticks.
Most of them are old people, and there are very few young people.
Many people who saw Song Qingshu and others arriving just glanced at them.
"this……"
"what happened?"
Song Qingshu was surprised by this situation.
Qi Mu is already used to this, he has seen it too many times over the years.
"Sir, please find a place to rest first."
"I'll tell you later."
Song Qingshu nodded and came to a roof. This roof was much larger than other places.
A mother-in-law outside the door kept looking at the road into the village.
His eyes were full of expectations and thoughts.
Song Qingshu bowed slightly to the old man: "Old man, can you give me a rest?"
The mother-in-law looked at Song Qingshu's somewhat immature face and smiled kindly: "Okay, okay."
"Come in, come in."
"quick."
As the mother-in-law spoke, she got up and walked towards the house.
Song Qingshu followed politely and entered. Looking at the situation inside, his heart sank to the bottom.
His current place is a courtyard, which should be decorated and have rockeries.
But now... there's nothing left, it's desolate.
There are only traces left.
"You guys sit down first, and I'll get some hot soup for you guys."
The mother-in-law greeted a few people and headed towards the kitchen.
Although Song Qingshu repeatedly stopped her, her mother-in-law still insisted.
Qi Mu looked at the situation inside the house and her mother-in-law who was leaving, and wanted to say something.
But after thinking about it, I decided to forget it.
"What's wrong?" Song Qingshu saw that Qi Mu had something to say.
Qi Mu shook his head: "Young master, we will know later."
Song Qingshu was a little confused. He didn't expect Qi Mu to be able to do riddles.
Looking at the other people, they all looked a little strange.
For a moment...
Song Qingshu knew why everyone was like this.
My wife brought a soup pot with a chipped mouth, and some bowls filled with wild vegetables.
"Come on."
"You guys just got caught in the rain, drink some hot soup."
"Come on, kid."
As her mother-in-law spoke, she filled a bowl and handed it to Song Qingshu.
He looked at the others and continued.
"Come on, all of you."
"I still have some in the pot, go put it in after you finish eating."
"Mother-in-law, you eat first." Song Qingshu thanked her mother-in-law with a smile, then filled a bowl and handed it to her.
Helped her mother-in-law sit down.
"Okay, okay, okay." The mother-in-law sat down with a smile, her face extremely happy.
Although Song Qingshu looked good, he felt unhappy in his heart, so he picked up a bowl of wild vegetable soup and ate it.
Very astringent and without any flavor.
He had never eaten this food in his two lifetimes.
But at this moment, he felt that this thing was better than the delicious food in the world.
He knew very well that this thing was the best thing that his mother-in-law could come up with.
Qi Mu and others didn't say anything. They picked it up and started drinking it without any dislike.
They've all eaten it before.
It was only after I followed Tianying's teaching that I improved.
Most of them are refugees.
After everyone finished eating, Song Qingshu took the initiative to clear away the dishes. Her mother-in-law didn't say anything when she saw Song Qingshu persisting.
The mother-in-law sat at the door as usual and looked at the road into the village.
Song Qingshu sat in the room and asked after a long silence: "Old Qi, you all know."
"Or should you say, you will know when you enter the village?"
The others looked at each other, and finally Qi Mu said: "Yes."
"The bare trees and abandoned fertile fields on the roadside say it all."
“In this world, there is not enough land for robbers to plunder.”
"Sir, this is the way the world is now."
"Young men are strong, they can run and they can escape."
Song Qingshu felt tight in his chest and didn't know what to say.
"Save some dry food."
"Let's take a rest and go."
"Tell me about the situation around here."
Qi Mu nodded and walked towards the house, leaving most of the dry food for the old man.
An hour later.
Everyone bid farewell to the old man and headed towards Qingshi Ferry again.
The few people had just mounted their horses and not far away, they heard the sound of fighting in the distance.
"Young Master!" Qi Mu's eyes focused on him.
"Go over and have a look." Song Qingshu tightened the reins and rushed over there quickly.
In a moment, everyone saw what was going on there.
A large group of soldiers and dozens of people surrounded a group of people.
Many people were wandering around.
Qi Mu looked at the group of people with a trace of disdain in his eyes.
"Along with that group of Yuan soldiers are people from Qingshi Village."
"The surrounding villages are being harmed by these dogs."
"I only know that they don't do human affairs. Now they are no longer human beings, and they actually joined forces with Yuan Bing."
There was a hint of indifference in Song Qingshu's eyes. He had been thinking about how to find this group of people.
He rushed out immediately.
Qi Mu and others laughed.
"Brothers, I haven't done anything in a few months. Move around."
"rush!!"
The sound of horse hooves soon attracted the attention of others.
One person shouted: "We are doing something in Qingshi Village!"
"If you don't want to die, get out...!"
puff!
Before he could speak, a long sword flew from a distance and was inserted directly into the man's throat.
Song Qingshu glared and flew out, drawing out his long sword.
He shouted coldly.
"Qingshi Village is so majestic."
While speaking, he slashed at the person on the side with his sword and killed another person.
"Wudang...Song Qingshu!" A big man with a beard who was originally surrounded by Yuan soldiers exclaimed.
"Brothers kill!"
Song Qingshu listened to the voice and glanced at the big man, who is this? How do you know him?
Qi Mu and others are also confused?
It is obviously the first time for the young master to go to the world.
When others heard about Wudang Song Qingshu, their emotions suddenly became high.
Wudang Song Qingshu is a master. This matter has spread all over the world. This is a master who can fight against the Shaolin Yuanzi generation.
The Shaolin Yuanzi generation is the existence they look up to.
"kill!"
"kill!"
"..."
Whether it is Qingshi Village or Yuan Bing, they are just a bunch of small fish. These people are not a problem to Song Qingshu.
Needless to say, Qi Mu and others.
After all, he is the elite of the Sky Eagle Cult Gang.
In just a moment, the originally surrounded battlefield was rushed away. Song Qingshu led Qi Mu and others to clear the way, allowing the others to withdraw directly.
The Yuan soldiers and those from Qingshi Village watched everyone leave and could only stop pursuing them.
They all saw that the group of people who came out was not simple. If the other party was not trying to save people, they were afraid that the rebel thieves would suffer too many casualties, and they would not be their opponents at all.
One kilometer away in a mountain forest.
Qi Mu ran over and said, "Master, I'm not chasing you."
"Let's rest." Song Qingshu looked at the situation of the group of people who were surrounded and killed: "bandage them."
"Thank you, Young Master Song. Thank you, Young Master Song." A group of people thanked Song Qingshu and others.
If it weren't for Song Qingshu's help, they would have had to explain at least half of it today.
Song Qingshu didn't pay attention. He looked forward and recognized the bearded man in him and asked, "Who are you?"
"How do you know me?"
"I always encounter spring!" The big man with curly beard saluted politely.
"I have some knowledge of Wudang Kung Fu and recognized Song Shaoxia's Tiyun Zong."
"After adding Zhang Wuji's description, I recognized Song Shaoxia."
Song Qingshu was originally curious about what was going on, but it turned out to be Chang Yuchun.
Then those eight brothers should have been fighting alongside Chang Yuchun before.
"Thank you very much for my brother Wuji."
"I don't know how good Wuji is."
Chang Yuchun smiled and said: "Very good, I have received treatment from my uncle."
"It's just that Zhang Wuji often says he misses you."
Song Qingshu laughed: "You little brat, you have a lot of things to do all day long."
"Don't pay attention. I'll go over and see him when I have time."
"You are kind to Wuji, but he can't repay it. I will repay it as your brother."
"If you encounter any trouble, I can help just ask."
Hearing this, whether it was Chang Yuchun or others, their eyes lit up.
Zhu Yuanzhang on the side looked at Qi Mu who was concentrating with his eyes closed, and thoughts appeared in his mind.
He knows Saiki.
The leader of the Sky Eagle Cult.
If they had help from the Sky Eagle Sect, it would be much smoother for them to leave Jiangnan by water.
This time they originally planned to kill the villain in Qingshi Village who had tipped off the news, and then use Qingshi Village's merchant ships to go south.
Unexpectedly, I met Yuan Bing.
Qi Mu noticed Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze and looked at Chang Yuchun and others with a hint of disdain.
Mingjiao?
He really doesn't like Mingjiao people.
A lot of people are scumbags.
Nothing good was done in the name of uprising.
Song Qingshu saw everything, and he roughly guessed some things.
The Yuecheng uprising failed and everyone was running for their lives.
"Young Master Song, we have indeed encountered difficulties." Chang Yuchun knew what his brother meant.
But he didn't know what to say.
"My Excellency Zhu Yuanzhang, I have met Song Shaoxia." Seeing that Chang Yuchun was not able to speak, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and saluted Song Qingshu slightly.
Since Song Qingshu knew Chang Yuchun, their identities were no secret.
"We waited for the uprising to fail because someone in Qingshi Village tipped off the news."
"We were planning to kill this villain before leaving."
"I didn't expect that Qingshizhai and the Yuan soldiers would report the news. It would not be a pity for our eight brothers to die, but it would only be a pain to the brothers who followed us."
"I hope Young Master Song will send these brothers of mine to leave Jiangnan."
"We will definitely remember this kindness in our hearts!"
puff!
After the words fell, Zhu Yuanzhang knelt down directly, Chang Yuchun, Xu Da, Deng Yu and others all knelt down.
When the others heard this, they all knelt down.
"It's not surprising for me, Young Master Song, to die. Brother Zhu, Brother Chang and others must not die."
"Yep."
"Brother Zhu, we will cover your departure."
"right……"
"..."
For a moment, everyone felt as if they were dead.
"Get up first." Song Qingshu frowned as he watched everyone kneel.
He did not agree directly, but looked at Qi Mu.
After all, Chang Yuchun was benevolent to Zhang Wuji. In other words, Wudang owed him some favors.
But you also need to be able to return a favor.
It wasn't easy for all of them to leave.
Only the Sky Eagle Sect can help.
Qi Mu ignored this group of Mingjiao people and looked at Song Qingshu.
His face was a little solemn.
"Sending them out of Jiangnan is just a small matter."
"How do you live in this Qingshi Village?"
"They definitely can't go into the city, they can only go by water."
"This Bluestone Village Master is not an ordinary person, and his strength is not bad."
"That Zhang Lang was originally a disciple of Kunlun, but he was later judged to be a disciple."
"It is known as the White Dragon in the Waves."
"The water is very good. They rely on the river water for their livelihood."
"Zhang Lang's whereabouts are already extremely secretive. In addition, they have alerted the enemy and the other party is on guard. It's very difficult."
"Our brothers are pretty good at it. We can handle the others. I'm not sure about this wave."
Song Qingshu frowned, remembering the wild vegetables his mother-in-law gave him in the previous village.
Tragic situation!
Qingshi Village! The bane!
Damn it if you tip off the uprising!
"How about Zhang Lang and the Shaolin disciples?"
Qi Mu didn't know how to answer for a while: "Master, you really don't regard Shaolin as a master."
"Shaolin Yuanzi is a master no matter where he is."
At this moment, the eyes of everyone in the Ming Cult all shone with light.
They saw Song Qingshu's thoughts.
"Young Master Song, our eight brothers are willing to take the lead!"
"Yes, Young Master Song and our eight brothers are willing to take the lead!"
"I'm willing to take the lead!"
"..."
Song Qingshu had confidence in his heart that it would be easy to say that he was not as good as a Shaolin disciple.
Is water good?
He was not bad at water skills. He used to accompany Zhang Wuji in the water to catch fish in Wudang.
In addition, there is a "secret of breath-holding" in the Jiuyin Sutra, which can help you not breathe for a long time.
White dragon in the waves?
Look who's the dragon!
If you like hiding, then take action on the river and kill Zhang Lang using his special skill.
"Okay! I'll help you with this."
"Leave Zhang Lang to me, and you can handle the rest!"
"If you are alive in the future, I will ask the Sky Eagle Sect to send you out of Jiangnan!"
Everyone in the Ming Cult was filled with joy, but Qi Mu gave the people on the side a look.
The meaning is obvious.
Find an opportunity to call someone!
The white dragon in the waves, Zhang Lang is a famous thief, he robs everything in the water and on land.
The Sky Eagle Sect has encircled and suppressed them before, but failed.
Mo Qixia, one of the Seven Heroes of Wudang, had already been here, and finally ran away due to this wave.
Once this wave enters the water and wants to escape, few people can stop it.
Qi Mu has been following Song Qingshu for a long time. Although Song Qingshu is humble, he is very proud at heart.
He was afraid that Song Qingshu would go into the water and fight with Zhang Lang.
It would be dangerous!
