Chapter 229, The troubled times in the Central Plains begin, Zhou Zhiruo’s methods

The next morning...

Song Qingshu and others left Bozhou, and the news of their departure quickly spread to all the uprising leaders.

After Zhu Yuanzhang learned of Qi Mu's plan, he revealed the whereabouts of Yang Xue and others during discussions in the camp.

He is not stupid, and neither is the leader of the uprising.

Some of the leaders of the original uprising had met Song Qingshu, and people who had not met him had also been in contact with Wang He.

They were not surprised when Song Qingshu came over.

In some ways, the leaders of the uprising, including Zhu Yuanzhang and others, were very grateful to Song Qingshu, Yang Xue and others.

During the battle on Spirit Snake Island, everyone knew the strength of Song Qingshu and Yang Xue.

Nowadays, most of the martial arts masters from the Central Plains have gone to the Emei Sect, and they are in short supply of masters.

Once they have a battle with King Ruyang, the master is a fatal flaw.

King Ruyang is the sea-fixing needle of the Yuan Dynasty, and it is easy to mobilize the martial arts masters of the Yuan Dynasty.

If no one comes from the Central Plains, it will be difficult for them to fight this battle.

They cannot avoid this battle.

Song Qingshu, Yang Xue and four maids came over, giving them enough confidence.

Even now that Song Qingshu and others have left, everyone feels extremely relieved.

Song Qingshu's character is known to the world, and he is very principled.

Maybe everyone didn’t know what Song Qingshu was doing before.

But after the battle on Spirit Snake Island, everyone knew that Song Qingshu had been running for the Central Plains.

Everyone knows that Song Qingshu came here for the masters of the Yuan Dynasty, and it must have been resolved now that he can leave.

Everyone trusts Song Qingshu and is willing to believe it.

Although many uprising leaders said they had friendship with Wudang, many things were not so easy to talk about.

This time Qi Mu oppressed Zhu Yuanzhang, and everyone was able to agree without knowing anything else. The main reason was because of Song Qingshu's face.

Wudang has become much taller because of Song Qingshu's existence.

…

Under the rising sun.

When the four girls Song Qingshu, Yang Xue and Youlan Zhuya passed by a tea stall, they stopped.

The reason is simple. Chen Youliang is already waiting for several people here.

There was no one around.

"I've seen you, young master, young lady, and four girls." Chen Youliang bowed slightly to Song Qingshu and others.

His face looked a little embarrassed.

He had been hesitating since he left the Mingjiao camp.

He could guess that Qi Mu's matter was serious, and it must be Song Qingshu who was behind it.

He wanted to know something.

But there are concerns in my heart.

He knew the personalities of Song Qingshu and Qi Mu, but since the other party didn't want to tell them, it was useless for him to ask.

"You guys talk." Yang Xue and Youlan Zhuya looked at Chen Youliang and smiled.

"Let's go make some tea."

The girls also knew that Chen Youliang was an extraordinary person, and it was Song Qingshu who single-handedly supported him.

Without Song Qingshu... Chen Youliang would have died long ago.

Compared with Lao Qi and others, Chen Youliang is half one of our own.

"Sit down." Song Qingshu was a little surprised by Chen Youliang's arrival, but it was okay.

Chen Youliang now holds great power and is very popular.

Compared with Zhu Yuanzhang's rejection by the higher-ups of Mingjiao, Chen Youliang was completely supported by the Beggar Clan.

There are disciples of the Beggar Clan all over the world. Although their strength is not very good, there is friendship everywhere.

At this time, it is impossible for the Central Plains to fight internally, and the number of people determines the right to speak.

Chen Youliang is a shrewd person and should have guessed many things.

Big events represent big opportunities. Whether it is for selfish reasons, for the Central Plains, or to give back to himself, Chen Youliang did it.

There’s nothing wrong with wanting to know something.

"Sir, I really want to help." Chen Youliang did not sit down, but looked at Song Qingshu with an extremely sincere face.

"I didn't say anything during the discussion at the Mingjiao camp."

"I know that this battle will have an impact on the young master's future arrangements, and I will fully cooperate with Zhu Yuanzhang."

Song Qingshu waved his hand and asked Chen Youliang to sit down: "Sit down first."

"Tell me your guess."

"The Battle of Bozhou did affect the follow-up, but it's not bad."

Chen Youliang was overjoyed. Judging from Song Qingshu's reaction, Song Qingshu did not regard him as an outsider.

In other words, I don’t particularly exclude myself.

"According to my guess, Master, you must have negotiated terms with Yuan Shi."

"There is something wrong with the top management of Mingjiao."

"There's a big fight in Bozhou, and all the top Mingjiao leaders are rushing to Guangmingding."

"Qi Mu came to Zhu Yuanzhang this time, probably to borrow someone, or to use Zhu Yuanzhang's elite."

"Otherwise...Zhu Yuanzhang would not be so resistant."

"The Mingjiao will not directly admit that they are defeated by Lao Qi and the others."

"The Mingjiao people are not ordinary arrogant people. It is difficult for the Mingjiao to admit it."

"Young Master, your character is not one of forcing others to do anything difficult for you, so this can only happen if the Mingjiao leaders are willing to admit that they are defeated by Lao Qi and the others."

"Or...Young Master, you don't know at all."

Song Qingshu looked at Chen Youliang with a smile: "Continue."

Chen Youliang was shocked, knowing that he had guessed correctly.

"King Ruyang suddenly took action this time, maybe he was cooperating with Lao Qi to find Zhu Yuanzhang."

"In other words, Yuan Shi wants Lao Qi to kill Zhu Yuanzhang."

"The Mingjiao, the leader of the Central Plains Uprising, and the Yuan Dynasty are all like this. Everyone wants Zhu Yuanzhang dead."

"As for Zhu Yuanzhang's survival...someone is protecting him."

"In the Central Plains... there are not many people who can keep Zhu Yuanzhang in the face of such great pressure."

"Zhenzhen Zhang of Wudang, you, my lord, the White-browed Eagle King... Mingjiao teaches Wuji."

"Besides these few people, I can't think of anyone else."

"Zhenzhen Zhang will not participate in secular affairs. Zhang Wuji is far away in Persia. If Zhang Wuji really wants to protect Zhu Yuanzhang, it is not very likely."

"The probability of the Mingjiao leaders openly opposing their own leader is very low, and there is also you, the young master, behind them."

"Lao Qi and Zhu Yuanzhang... Zhang Wuji also has a hard time choosing."

"Although Zhu Yuanzhang and others were kind to Zhang Wuji for saving his life, Lao Qi and others also have a lot of friendship."

"Lao Qi and the others have been following you, young master, and they are from the Sky Eagle Sect. They have been loyally assisting the White-browed Eagle King."

"And, as far as I know, when Zhang Wuji was in Butterfly Valley, Lao Qi and the others went there a lot."

"Later something happened to Zhang Wuji, and Lao Qi used unimaginable manpower and material resources to search for him."

"This friendship...is great."

Hearing this, Song Qingshu looked at Chen Youliang and smiled even more: "You have done a lot of homework."

"continue."

Chen Youliang took a deep breath and expressed what he had been worried about.

"I am not surprised that the White-browed Eagle King protects Zhu Yuanzhang."

"The White-browed Eagle King only wants to overthrow the Yuan Dynasty, and has no desire for power. Zhu Yuanzhang is capable, and it is normal for the White-browed Eagle King to protect him."

"The White-browed Eagle King just wants peace in the Central Plains."

"Sir, you..."

The words stopped here and did not continue.

Chen Youliang never figured out why Song Qingshu wanted to protect Zhu Yuanzhang.

He knew very well that the White-browed Eagle King had a very low chance of success in trying to protect Zhu Yuanzhang.

Lao Qi, Song Qingshu and Zhu Yuanzhang.

The White-browed Eagle King must choose, and he will definitely support Lao Qi and Song Qingshu.

Lao Qi is capable, and Song Qingshu needless to say.

"Are you worried that I will help Zhu Yuanzhang ascend to power?" An inexplicable smile appeared on Song Qingshu's face.

This is probably the real reason why Chen Youliang is looking for him.

"Yes." Chen Youliang nodded with a bitter look on his face.

"I am ambitious. I admit it. Maybe I also know that there are many things that I cannot change."

"If you support Zhu Yuanzhang, sir, I have to find a way to ease the relationship."

"In the past, I was alone, but it's different now."

"The Beggar Gang is all in my hands, and there are many living and dead brothers. I don't want everyone to die in vain."

"Zhu Yuanzhang has your support, young master, and I can't win."

"No." Song Qingshu said with a smile: "I didn't take the time to support him."

"Whether it's you or Zhu Yuanzhang, I'm just giving you a chance."

"I will not get involved in your affairs."

Chen Youliang breathed a sigh of relief. If this was the case, everything would be easy to talk about.

"Sir, I understand."

Seeing Chen Youliang's relief, Song Qingshu thought for a moment and said, "Inform the others."

"I have no intention of getting involved in the Central Plains."

"No matter you, Zhu Yuanzhang, or anyone else, no matter whether it is a master from the Central Plains or a master from the Yuan Dynasty, no one will do anything to you."

"What you have to do is fight and win the war."

"In the fight for power, you each use your own methods."

Chen Youliang's eyes showed an unprecedented sparkle, and he was extremely excited: "Sir, you mean that the martial arts masters from the Central Plains will not participate in this."

"Is everything ourselves?"

"The capable are superior and the mediocre are inferior!"

If that were the case, many situations would change.

The Central Plains may be in chaos, but this can also arouse everyone's fighting spirit and completely let go of their ambitions.

"Yes." Song Qingshu could understand Chen Youliang's excitement. After all, the top management of Mingjiao put too much pressure on everyone.

His current response is tantamount to telling the uprising leader in disguise that he can come wherever he wants.

Everyone relies on their own means, without taking anything into account.

"It's just what you think."

"If you can trick Zhu Yuanzhang to death, no one will bother you."

"Similarly, if you are plotted to death by Zhu Yuanzhang, no one will trouble Zhu Yuanzhang. You can do it yourself."

"High-ranking officials' salaries...you can fight for it yourself!"

Chen Youliang looked at Song Qingshu in shock. He did not expect that Song Qingshu would give such a guarantee.

Song Qingshu's status in the martial arts world is still strong. As long as Song Qingshu agrees, there is no possibility for others to refuse.

In other words, Song Qingshu has already reached an agreement with Wulin.

"Sir...what are you planning!"

"If no one in the martial arts world participates in the war, then the people in Yuanshi..."

As he spoke, Chen Youliang's right hand trembled and he looked at Song Qingshu in shock.

"Divide the battlefield!"

"Martial arts versus martial arts, army versus army!"

He knew very well that if Song Qingshu said this, then people in the martial arts world or first-class masters would be extremely relaxed.

But this is simply impossible.

In the war in the Central Plains, ordinary people fought against the Yuanshi, and it was impossible for the martial arts to watch.

People who learn martial arts are very ambitious and bloody, and they don't know how to watch a show at all.

The only possibility is martial arts versus martial arts!

"Yes!" Song Qingshu looked at Chen Youliang with deep eyes.

"Originally, Lao Qi came to talk to you about this matter, but if you come here today, I will tell you directly."

"You have a lot of things in your hands now."

"Lao Qi has already discussed the plan with Zhu Yuanzhang and will look for your cooperation later."

"Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely have an advantage if he knows something. I'm telling you now, you can also prepare."

Chen Youliang bowed gratefully to Song Qingshu: "Thank you, Master."

Song Qingshu shook his head slightly and looked at Chen Youliang sharply: "I know you have contacted many people."

"Many of the current leaders of the Central Plains Uprising are related to Wudang."

"And you... have been following me for a long time. Many people treat you as if you are half a Wudang person."

"Lao Qi and most of the twelve of them were with you in the Beggar Clan."

"In the battle at Shenxiakou, you teamed up with Lao Qi to kill Fan Yao, the right envoy of the Ming Cult."

"There is also a Beggar Clan leader who is recuperating in Wudang."

"Together these things together, everyone will regard you as someone from my side."

"But you and I both know that you are not from Wudang!"

Chen Youliang looked at Song Qingshu's eyes and was suddenly shocked. He had indeed contacted many people.

Although Wudang was not mentioned, everyone knows many things.

He didn't explain either.

"Sir, I have never tricked these people!"

Song Qingshu looked at Chen Youliang for a few seconds: "I know, so I didn't trouble you."

"I don't like to interfere in the war, but you can't mess around."

"To be fair, you have been wrong in many things in the past, and you have caused me a lot of trouble, but you have also helped a lot."

"You helped a lot during the battle in Dongyue City. Without you, I don't know what the final situation would have been like."

"Then Cheng Kun attacked Shi Huolong, the leader of the Beggar Clan. I killed several people there and saved the leader of the Beggar Clan."

"This matter is very important for the future direction of the Central Plains."

"In the battle at Shenxiakou, you and Lao Qi cooperated and laid the foundation for the general trend of the Central Plains."

"You have great merit and ability, so now the beggars support you."

"I only have one sentence for you, be a little moderate!"

"Whether you are looking for someone to join forces with or plot against someone, I don't have a problem with it."

"This is the world, this is the human heart, and we need to survive appropriately."

Chen Youliang was silent for a long time. He could feel the true feelings in Song Qingshu's words, and there was no falsehood in them.

Song Qingshu is really tolerant of himself.

Song Qingshu's only life-and-death crisis since his debut was when Hong Maple Forest was attacked by Cheng Kun, and all of this was caused by him.

But even though this was the case, Song Qingshu still supported him to reach his current position.

Compared with many people who are nice to me or support me, everyone is plotting something.

For example, Shi Huolong, the leader of the Beggar Clan, was also because there was no one available in the Beggar Clan.

Not to mention other people in the martial arts world.

And Song Qingshu... really doesn't care about anything.

Ability...Song Qingshu has Lao Qi under him. Although he is confident and not afraid of Lao Qi, he has no ability to suppress him.

Connections? power?

There is nothing I can do compared to Lao Qi and the others.

Song Qingshu gave himself a chance just because he felt he was capable and could do something for the Central Plains.

That's all.

This is true for himself, and so is Zhu Yuanzhang.

This is also the reason why many uprising leaders respect Song Qingshu, or why no one refuses Song Qingshu's request.

Because everyone knows very well that Song Qingshu doesn't care about power.

No matter what Song Qingshu did, it was probably for the Central Plains.

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

He didn't talk about his difficulties because he knew that Song Qingshu understood.

In his current position, there are many things he cannot control.

"Leave a thin line." Song Qingshu sighed: "If you can get to the end, those people will not threaten you."

"If you don't make it to the end, those brothers who follow you will have a good death."

"Perhaps when you look elsewhere in the future, everyone will remember your morality and humanity."

"Every war is on the verge of death. It's not easy for those around you to reach this point."

"My wife, children, young children, and my family have too many concerns."

"I admire anyone who is on the front line, I really admire them."

"Whether it is for life, for the Central Plains, or for righteousness, I think everyone is striving for the tranquility of the Central Plains."

"I am like this, and everyone is like this too, it's just that the position is different."

"They have paid their dues and should be rewarded."

"Isn't it?" Song Qingshu looked at Chen Youliang with complicated eyes.

"There is no need to exterminate the clan and eradicate the roots."

"At least... until the Central Plains is calmed down, no one in the Wulin will threaten your safety."

"The Central Plains is stable and you are also in high positions, so don't worry about it."

Hearing this, Chen Youliang sighed deeply in his heart. A lot of things like genocide and eradication have happened in the Central Plains recently.

He has it here too.

Mainly due to the overall uprising in the Central Plains, the struggle for power is too normal.

Not killing... was not enough to deter Xiao Xiao.

"Sir, I know what to do."

"If the martial arts battlefield is divided, this kind of thing will be much less common in the future."

"You don't have to worry about revenge. You can fight with peace of mind. Those who can survive to the end will not care about revenge or hatred."

Song Qingshu nodded: "Go."

Chen Youliang saluted slightly to Song Qingshu, then saluted to Yang Xue and Youlan Zhuya who were busy in the distance, and then left directly.

When the four girls Yang Xue and Youlan Zhuya saw Chen Youliang leaving, they came over with some doubts in their eyes.

They all heard the previous conversation between Song Qingshu and Chen Youliang.

"Qingshu, you are very complicated about Chen Youliang." Yang Xue said with a smile.

Song Qingshu seemed to be persuading Chen Youliang to stay on the front line, or for the sake of the future of the Central Plains.

But in her opinion, Song Qingshu felt more that Chen Youliang would fail. In order to avoid too many deaths in the future, it would be good for Chen Youliang to retain some favors in the future.

"Sir, do you think Chen Youliang will die in the end?" Dongfang Ya asked curiously.

The other women also had doubts in their eyes.

Chen Youliang is an extraordinary person.

Song Qingshu nodded: "Yes."

"Chen Youliang has a fatal flaw. He is Cheng Kun's apprentice."

"Sooner or later this matter will be revealed."

"Once exposed, Chen Youliang will be in a difficult situation."

"And it's impossible for me to come forward to defend him. Chen Youliang almost killed me once, so it's good that I didn't shoot him to death."

The four girls Yang Xue and Youlan Zhuya were shocked.

They almost forgot about it, after all, Cheng Kun died a long time ago.

Once Chen Youliang's identity is exposed, Chen Youliang will be in trouble.

Although it has been hidden now, someone in Yuanshi must know that Yuanshi...

"Chen Youliang...is it possible to rebel? Or to harm the Central Plains?" Yang Xue's eyes sharpened.

"If Yuanshi takes advantage of this threat, Chen Youliang will have no choice."

"Chen Youliang has too many things at his disposal now."

Song Qingshu shook his head slightly: "I don't know, I'm not sure either."

"I only know that the people Zhu Yuanzhang arranged for the Beggar Clan were arranged by the Beggar Clan's own people."

"The Beggar Clan is on guard against Chen Youliang."

"Chen Youliang must have guessed something, so he is eager to find me and participate in the follow-up matters to increase his bargaining chips."

Hearing this, the girls were shocked.

The Beggar Clan was helping Zhu Yuanzhang.

"This Chen Youliang..." None of the girls knew what to say.

Chen Youliang made plans for his family.

Song Qingshu laughed when he saw a few people acting like this: "Don't feel bad for Chen Youliang."

"Zhu Yuanzhang is not much better."

"Zhu Yuanzhang also has many spies around him, and the Mingjiao people helped Chen Youliang to put them in."

"It's just a matter of half a pound, these people have a hundred evil intentions."

The girls shook their heads for a while, the group of people leading the battle were really thoughtful.

"Sir, how did you know?" Dongfang You looked at Song Qingshu puzzled.

Whether it is Chen Youliang or Zhu Yuanzhang, placing spies around these two people is absolutely a secret matter.

Song Qingshu spread his hands and looked helpless: "I don't want to know either."

"But they all sent me messages."

"Beggars...Shi Huolong wants to take action against Chen Youliang, why don't he tell me, and he also knows my character, so I won't care."

"It would be nice for everyone to say it."

"The Ming Cult is even simpler. I supported Chen Youliang in the beginning, and then Chen Youliang and Lao Qi tricked Fan Yao to death. Everyone knows that Chen Youliang and I have a complicated relationship."

"If Chen Youliang causes too much trouble in Mingjiao or does something outrageous, they will have reason to take action."

"Stay out of trouble with me."

"It's normal to make it clear."

The girls nodded, and everyone understood the arrangement between the Ming Cult and the Beggar Clan.

Song Qingshu knew that it was indeed much better.

Song Qingshu will not interfere anyway.

"Now that you have told Chen Youliang about dividing the martial arts world and letting everyone let go, this war will probably be very complicated." Yang Xue said with some worry.

"Once the leaders of the uprising don't have to take into account the martial arts behind each force, then everyone will have to rely on their own abilities."

"A lot of people ... will take advantage of this and expand."

"Struggle for power."

"Isn't it bad?" Song Qingshu asked with a smile: "In the past, everyone was worried about each other, so they must have hidden a lot of tricks, but now there is no need to hide it."

"Let go and hit."

“It’s their ability to expand, and it’s their ability to win over people’s hearts.”

"Heroes emerge from troubled times...Now that the martial arts is divided, we are in complete troubled times."

"No one has anything to worry about, everything depends on means."

The girls were shocked, Song Qingshu was going to completely end the troubled times.

But it’s right to think about it. Once the martial arts battlefield is divided, the longer it lasts, the more people will die.

It would be a good thing for the Central Plains Legion War to end as soon as possible.

At this time, a black eagle appeared in the sky and flew over at high speed after seeing Song Qingshu.

Song Qingshu caught Black Eagle in confusion, what could happen at this time?

After releasing the black hawk, open the letter directly.

[The Yitian Sword and the Dragon-Slaying Sword have been reforged and sent to the Emei Sect. 】

[The Yitian Sword returned to the hands of the Emei Sect, and the Dragon-Slaying Sword became ownerless. 】

[The Emei Sect will have the same situation as Wang Panshan's fight for the dragon-slaying knife, but this time there will be an extra Yuanshi. 】

[Zhou Zhiruo wants to defeat the heroes and give the dragon-slaying knife to Xie Xun, and at the same time use it to establish Emei's prestige! 】(End of this chapter)
