Chapter 174, Chen Youliang’s ambitions and plans, interview with Shi Huolong

The four girls Yang Xue and Youlan Zhuya watched Song Qingshu leave.

Dongfang You looked at Yang Xue and asked, "Miss, why don't you go with the young master."

"Haven't you recovered?"

The other girls were also curious.

When Song Qingshu told them before, he just asked them not to let Yang Xue find others to do something.

He didn't say what he was going to do.

They didn't ask Song Qingshu much.

"I'm going, who's watching you." Yang Xue looked at the girls and said angrily.

"You guys are really good at it. You keep an eye on me and don't let me run around."

Youlan Zhuya was slightly embarrassed.

"We also want to reassure the young master."

"Young Master is also worried about you."

"Yep."

"..."

The women explained repeatedly that they were actually afraid that Yang Xue was going out.

"Qingshu went to see Chen Youliang. It's not appropriate for me to go." Yang Xue was just joking before.

She didn't go with Song Qingshu because it was inappropriate.

She guessed that Song Qingshu had a deal with Chen Youliang.

At first, the twelve people who followed Song Qingshu, except Qi Mu, had all entered the Beggar Clan and had been with Chen Youliang.

Chen Youliang is not a simple person.

"Chen Youliang? What do you want to do?" Youlan Zhuya was a little curious.

Chen Youliang made a big splash in Dongyue City, and then disappeared without a trace of the beggar gang.

Now he suddenly appeared and went directly to Song Qingshu.

"I don't know." Yang Xue responded.

"Qingshu can just make his own arrangements."

"How are you doing in Wudang?"

Hearing this, the four Youlan girls began to talk about Wudang.

"We mainly play with Zhang Wuji."

"Zhang Wuji has a strong internal strength, mainly due to his lack of actual combat experience."

"The recovery of the Nine Yang Divine Art is very strong."

"..."

Yang Xue listened quietly and rarely asked.

According to the fourth daughter, Zhang Wuji had no big problem with the three envoys of the Persian Ming Cult.

Zhang Wuji's main problem is his mentality. Once his mentality is solved, there won't be any big problems.

The other side.

In a valley around Wudang Mountain.

Chen Youliang was hiding in a dilapidated house with no one around.

"Where did Song Qingshu go?"

"I'll be doomed if I don't come."

Chen Youliang's face was extremely worried. When the battle in Dongyue City began, he was watching from a distance.

As for the life and death of those in the Beggar Clan, he didn't care at all.

He has been hiding carefully for the past year, just waiting for the opportunity.

He didn't dare to show his face until Cheng Kun died.

He knew very well how ruthless his master was.

Late this night.

Chen Youliang was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly startled and sat up directly.

The house that was originally dark was now lit by fire.

Chen Youliang quickly picked up the weapon on the side and turned around to look.

Not far away, he saw Song Qingshu sitting by the fire, eating meat and drinking wine leisurely.

Lamb was roasting on the bonfire.

"You're on good alert, eat something." Seeing Chen Youliang wake up, Song Qingshu waved to Chen Youliang.

"Huh..." Chen Youliang took a long breath, his face full of surprise.

Song Qingshu is finally here.

He quickly walked over, saluted Song Qingshu respectfully, and then sat down.

"Young master, you are finally here."

Song Qingshu took out a jar of wine and threw it over, smiling: "I have been dealing with some things recently."

"I'll come over as soon as I receive the Wudang message."

Chen Youliang was not polite, he saluted Song Qingshu and took a sip directly.

Pull a chunk of meat right off the campfire.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Song Qingshu asked casually.

When he arrived, he noticed Chen Youliang's situation. There were warning devices in many places outside the house.

Chen Youliang may not be in a good situation now.

Chen Youliang began to complain: "Master, it's really hard for me now."

"I've been hiding since Dongyue City and I didn't dare to show my face at all."

"A lot of people are looking for me."

Song Qingshu could understand that Chen Youliang would die if Cheng Kun attacked him with his strength.

"Say it."

"Do you know where Cheng Kun is?"

"As long as I kill him, you'll be fine."

Chen Youliang said in a deep voice: "After Cheng Kun framed Shaolin last time."

"He knew he couldn't control Shaolin, so he set his sights on the Beggar Gang."

"He wanted to kill Shi Huolong, the leader of the Beggar Clan, and then find someone to pretend to be him."

Song Qingshu was shocked.

really.

He guessed right, Cheng Kun was really plotting against the Beggars Gang.

"specific situation."

Chen Youliang originally wanted to kill Cheng Kun, so he didn't hide anything and spoke quickly.

"There are many people from Cheng Kun in the Beggar Clan."

"We have been inquiring about the whereabouts of Shi Huolong, the leader of the Beggar Clan for a long time."

"Three years ago, we found the leader of the Beggar Clan in a mountain forest."

"Later, we repeatedly confirmed that it was the residence of Shi Huolong, the leader of the Beggar Clan."

"At the same time, we also know that Shi Huolong has injuries, and they are serious for a few days every year."

"Continue." Song Qingshu responded and spoke calmly.

Chen Youliang continued: "It's time now."

"Cheng Kun will not miss the opportunity."

"During the battle in Dongyue City, many of Cheng Kun's people in the Beggar Clan were tricked to death by me."

"Cheng Kun is in urgent need of someone to rule the Beggar Clan, and he will not miss this opportunity."

"Now that the Mingjiao is so powerful, Cheng Kun wants to cause trouble for the Mingjiao, and the Beggar Gang is the best way."

Song Qingshu glanced at Chen Youliang with a profound look: "Okay."

"Leave tomorrow."

Chen Youliang looked at Song Qingshu's eyes and was startled, worried that Song Qingshu might be hiding something about Shi Huolong.

He quickly said: "It's not that I didn't tell you before."

"The main reason is that I'm not sure what Dongyue City is like."

"If we can't win, I'm not sure when Cheng Kun will attack Shi Huolong."

"I understand." Song Qingshu picked up the wine jar and gestured slightly to Chen Youliang.

He knew Chen Youliang's little thoughts, but it didn't matter.

This guy is useful.

"Thank you." Seeing that Song Qingshu didn't care, Chen Youliang breathed a sigh of relief and took a few sips of wine.

Early next morning.

The two of them left directly and headed towards Shi Huolong's retreat.

Song Qingshu didn't ask about the specific location along the way, but followed Chen Youliang.

Chen Youliang was very vigilant along the way and kept changing his clothes.

Song Qingshu also followed suit.

After wandering around for almost a month, the two came to a deep mountain and old forest.

It is deserted here, and there are occasional bursts of fog.

At night, the two stopped on a mountain peak.

"Sir, we're here." Chen Youliang pointed to a cave in the distance.

"That's where the Shi Huolong retreat is."

Song Qingshu took out a letter and threw it to Chen Youliang: "Leave at dawn and give the letter to my uncle."

"He will help you clear out the Beggar Gang."

Chen Youliang looked at the letter handed over by Song Qingshu and felt extremely vigilant.

He didn't know what Song Qingshu meant.

"Son..."

"Don't pretend." Song Qingshu looked at Chen Youliang with a deep look.

"Don't be mean to me. If I get impatient, I will kill you directly."

"Thank you, sir." Chen Youliang looked at Song Qingshu's eyes, took the letter directly, and saluted respectfully.

"I will definitely help the Mingjiao overthrow the Mongols."

Song Qingshu laughed when he saw Chen Youliang like this. Chen Youliang is interesting now.

"I know your ambition."

"You are so afraid of me because I understand."

"Zhang Cang, Liu Bai and others were following you at the beginning. You knew they would tell me your situation."

Chen Youliang didn't pretend at this time because there was no need.

Now it's time for a showdown. If he wants a chance, he must have Song Qingshu's support.

A deep voice sounded.

"Sir, no one wants to be a master."

"This is the way the world is. Either you die or I die."

"If I wasn't ruthless, I would have died in the Beggar Clan."

"Yes." Song Qingshu did not deny it: "The world is full of people eating people."

"Countless people are like this, you just have more means than others."

"Master, what do you want me to do?" Chen Youliang looked at Song Qingshu and asked.

He came to Song Qingshu because he knew Song Qingshu was a person.

Song Qingshu doesn't like to get involved in too many things, and he has a good reputation and is not pedantic.

Compared with other decent people from famous families, Song Qingshu doesn't hide things he doesn't like at all.

He knew everything Qi Mu and others did, and most of them were not clean and their methods were ruthless.

But Song Qingshu still defended those people.

These are enough to show that Song Qingshu will not dislike him too much or kill him.

As long as he doesn't touch Song Qingshu's bottom line, that's fine.

Now that he has lost Cheng Kun, he must have a backer, otherwise even if he has the means, it will be useless.

"Don't touch those who shouldn't be touched, and you can do whatever you want with the rest." Song Qingshu knew Chen Youliang's worries.

"You helped a lot in the battle of Dongyue City, so I will help you with the Beggar Clan."

"From now on... take care of yourself."

Chen Youliang fell silent. Song Qingshu's current words were not the result he wanted.

Even if he cleans up Cheng Kun's people in the Beggar Clan, his future will not be easy.

His strength is too weak and he must find someone to protect him.

Song Qingshu is the best.

"Sir, I think I can help to overthrow the Yuanshi."

"I believe it." Song Qingshu responded with a smile: "You have proven your strength in the battle in Dongyue City."

"Many people believe in your ability."

"Sir, I'm afraid of death." Chen Youliang said.

He knew that Song Qingshu understood what he meant.

He needs a backer, someone who can't be touched by others without a legitimate reason.

The beggar gang is too weak.

The world is in chaos, and dead people are too normal, especially for a small character like him.

"You can't die." Song Qingshu patted Chen Youliang.

"No one will take action against you. People in the Ming Cult admire you very much, and Wudang also has a good impression of you."

"Dongyue City, you helped the Mingjiao and Wudang, so don't be afraid."

"If you die on the battlefield, it's your life. Don't worry about it at other times."

"Of course... the premise is what I said before, don't commit suicide yourself, understand?"

"You've survived until now, knowing full well that some people can't move."

"Thank you, sir!" Chen Youliang saluted deeply.

Song Qingshu looked at Chen Youliang with a half-smile but not a smile: "Now you feel at ease."

"Tell me, what else are you worried about?"

"If you're free, you're free. Tell me what you think."

"Others say you have been hiding for a year, but I don't think you are that kind of person."

"I did do something indeed." Chen Youliang laughed.

He had nothing to guard against Song Qingshu, or it was unnecessary.

Song Qingshu could kill him anytime he wanted, no matter what his status was or what height he reached.

"I'm worried about Zhu Yuanzhang."

Song Qingshu laughed, and he was not surprised at all by Chen Youliang's words.

Qi Mu wanted to kill Zhu Yuanzhang at the beginning.

"for example……"

"What do you think of Zhu Yuanzhang?"

"Same kind!" Chen Youliang said in a deep voice: "I see ambition in Zhu Yuanzhang, great ambition."

"In the future, Mingjiao will have a great say!"

"I will definitely have conflicts with him in the future, so I need your help."

Song Qingshu narrowed his eyes: "You want to join the Ming Cult!"

"Using the Beggar Clan as a springboard, right?"

"Yes." Chen Youliang admitted directly: "The Beggar Clan has many people, but it can be unorganized."

"If the Mingjiao uprising succeeds, even if the Beggar Clan participates, it will not be the main force. The Beggar Clan will not have military supplies, resources, or medicinal materials."

"Only Mingjiao has it."

"Even if we do it together, in the end it will be the Mingjiao that takes the lead."

"The beggar gang is too weak and has no say."

Song Qingshu smiled: "Good idea, continue."

"Intend."

Chen Youliang thought for a while and said, "Zhu Yuanzhang is very familiar with Mingjiao leader Zhang Wuji."

"Sir, I dare not touch Zhu Yuanzhang."

"I will definitely have conflicts with Zhu Yuanzhang, even if I don't join the Mingjiao."

"I'm sure Zhu Yuanzhang will find a way to kill me."

Song Qingshu didn't say anything, but asked: "If I don't help you, who will you turn to?"

"Yang Xiao!" Chen Youliang said directly.

"Zhu Yuanzhang was promoted by Yang Xiao. Yang Xiao will watch us fight, but will not let anything happen to us."

"If the Mingjiao wants to revolt, it needs people and a commander."

"Zhu Yuanzhang's family is dominant, and the Mingjiao leaders will not like it."

"Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely become stronger after he gains power. There are many things that the higher-ups of the Mingjiao cannot control."

"This is my chance."

"But I can't kill Zhu Yuanzhang, he can kill me."

"Zhu Yuanzhang advocated Wuji's life-saving grace for Mingjiao."

Song Qingshu sighed in his heart, Chen Youliang was indeed the hero who made it to the end.

Both Chen Youliang and Qi Mu saw how strong Zhu Yuanzhang would be in the future.

"Yang Xiao will probably agree."

"The purpose of the Mingjiao is to overthrow the Yuanshi. Your joining the Mingjiao will make it very powerful."

"Great idea."

"Then just play with Zhu Yuanzhang. You're not afraid of him anyway, are you?"

"Yes." Chen Youliang's eyes showed a powerful light.

"As long as Yang Xiao agrees, I am confident that I will gain a firm foothold in Mingjiao."

Song Qingshu knew what Chen Youliang meant, and he always wanted to help.

"Okay, I'll give you one year to solve the internal problems of the Beggar Clan."

"In one year, Mingjiao will definitely make big moves. If you have the ability, I will ask Zhang Wuji to form an alliance with you."

"They will give you the initial military supplies."

"If you want to overthrow the Yuanshi, it is impossible to rely solely on the Mingjiao. Others will join in the future."

"But the premise is...to solve the internal problems of the Beggar Clan, do you understand?"

"Okay! Thank you young master." Chen Youliang's eyes shone brightly, and he saluted Song Qingshu extremely respectfully.

Song Qingshu's help was even better than what he originally wanted.

If the Beggar Clan forms an alliance with the Ming Cult, it will absorb other martial arts people and other forces.

He will definitely be qualified to participate in world wars in the future.

The next morning...

Chen Youliang said goodbye to Song Qingshu and left directly, feeling extremely excited.

He knew that his choice in Dongyue City was right.

Cheng Kun was about to die, and he received unprecedented support from Song Qingshu.

With the help of King Yin Ye, it is not a problem to put down the Beggar Gang.

"I hope to speed up the overthrow of the Yuan Dynasty." Song Qingshu looked at Chen Youliang who was leaving, with some expectation in his eyes.

The growth of Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang was pushed forward by him.

Especially Chen Youliang, who had the support of the Beggar Clan, the Mingjiao military supplies, and other martial arts people who joined him.

If Chen Youliang is really capable, then Chen Youliang's team will expand infinitely.

It is impossible to overthrow the Yuan Dynasty only by those people from the Mingjiao. What is more important is that more and more ordinary people join it.

Song Qingshu jumped down and headed towards the cave where Shi Huolong was.

He needs to talk to Senior Shi Huolong.

Killing Cheng Kun is one thing, and the problem of the Beggar Clan is also another.

The Beggar Clan must have hidden masters, he had seen them in Dongyue City.

In the valley.

As soon as Song Qingshu walked in, he smelled a refreshing fragrance, which calmed people unconsciously.

"Fire dense flower?"

Song Qingshu had seen the introduction of this fragrance in books. This kind of flower can stabilize the mind.

The growing environment of fire dense flowers is very harsh.

Looking carefully, he saw red fire dense flowers in a corner. They were fiery red and had a unique flavor.

"No wonder I chose this place."

Song Qingshu understood why Shi Huolong chose this place.

Yang Xue said before that Shi Huolong had problems practicing the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and had been injured.

During the attack, he was in a daze.

Fire density flower can play a role in concentration, which is good for suppressing injuries.

Under the sunshine, Song Qingshu walked into the cave step by step.

Since it was daytime, the view was not too bad.

In the center of the cave, Shi Huolong stared coldly outside the cave.

He had sensed someone coming before.

I know that there are very few people here. If anyone comes here, it must be a traitor within the Beggar Clan.

And it's very hidden.

He wanted to see who came looking for death.

After a moment, when he saw clearly who was coming, his face was shocked.

"Song Qingshu!"

"I've met senior." Song Qingshu saluted slightly. He also knew that his arrival was very abrupt.

Shi Huolong stood up slowly and asked Song Qingshu to sit down beside him.

I was a little curious as to why Song Qingshu came here.

The place where he retreated was not told to anyone else. Only a few people in the Beggar Clan knew about it.

No one will come unless there are special circumstances.

"Chen Youliang told me." Song Qingshu knew Shi Huolong's doubts and spoke directly.

Shi Huolong frowned: "How could he know."

He knows Chen Youliang.

Because of the battle in Dongyue City, Chen Youliang came into their sight.

But it was impossible for Chen Youliang to know his retreat place.

Song Qingshu explained: "A long time ago, someone from the Beggar Clan was trying to find out about you."

"Chen Youliang is not the only one, there are others."

"As for how I discovered it, it was purely a coincidence."

"Cheng Kun?" Shi Huolong's eyes showed a hint of indifference.

"Chen Youliang is also Cheng Kun's chess piece?"

Song Qingshu nodded: "Yes, I already know about Dongyue City."

"Back in Dongyue City, Cheng Kun asked Chen Youliang to take action against Wudang. Chen Youliang was afraid of death, so he chose to be honest with me and cooperate with me."

"After that, I also sent messages to the beggars for help."

Shi Huolong was shocked: "So, it's Cheng Kun who came here?"

"Since Chen Youliang dares to betray Cheng Kun, Chen Youliang will not dare to show his face until Cheng Kun dies."

"I remember that Chen Youliang completely disappeared during the battle in Dongyue City."

"Some people doubt that he will die, but we don't believe it."

Song Qingshu laughed: "Senior is indeed a senior, he has guessed everything."

"Yes."

"This is what I came from the ancient tomb for."
