Book 26 Chapter 2 – Inside Secret
Kou Zhong watched as Song Lu poured the wine into two cups, and said, “How did Lu Shu know that I a Lu raised his cup After both hed and said, “Yulin is our Song Fa can be concealed from us; not to mention that I am in town specifically to wait for your honored self It’s just that you encountered Yuzhi first!”
The strong liquor entered Kou Zhong’s throat and drilled into his anxiety [lit ‘worry intestine’]; his e out everywhere, he said with a wry smile, “Since Lu Shu has seen Yuzhi, naturally you knehy I came here to drink Is thisLu a’s wide shoulder; he spoke war, you reat difficulty that she had to harden her heart and refuse you I started to learn about it only recently”
Kou Zhong sighed and said, “She told ravedLu nodded and said, “This is indeed true I personally asked Da Xiong [eldest brother] but he only s, hence I could not make head or tail about it But the reason she rejected you has nothing to do with it”
Dejected, Kou Zhong asked, “So what is it?”
Song Lu poured another cup for hi Fale over the world because of you”
“What?” Kou Zhong blurted out
With serious expression Song Lu said, “Within our Song Family, there are two views on the current world situation One view believes that this is the best ti Family Those who hold this view can be called the pro-war faction, headed by Song Zhi He advocated strongly that we use Lingnan as our base, and then expand to Chang Jiang, and establish an imperial court with the south as the main power Worst case scenario, we can divide the colors of spring evenly with the northerners”
Kou Zhong nodded and said, “The other view is naturally the peace faction As long as the Song Fanan, due to the seas and oceans and highnatural barriers, it does not matter who obtained the world, they could only adopt ‘cai ji ruel; policies of the local officials used by the Chinese dynasties to h, the Ethe surface of the earth, but there will be people ould want to settle the account with you I wonder who’s leading this faction?”
“Precisely shi+dao and Yuzhi,” Song Lu replied, “I personally think that both strategies are feasible But shi+dao and Yuzhi cannot bear to see the Li people, the only ethnic group who has been following us blindly, to wither and have their heads roll and their hot blood shed for the sake of our glory”
Kou Zhong understood But new question arose, “How about Fazhu? Which faction is he, the Senior, leaning to?”
Song Lu replied, “He never expressed his position”
Stunned, Kou Zhong asked, “How could it be?”
Song Lu helplessly replied, “Da Xiong’s conduct has always been difficult to fatho out all kinds of training and spending efforts on preparation to war On the other hand, he indicated that the fortunate ti Zhi to hold back his troops withoutis so enthusiastic toward you and Yuzhi’s affair And Yuzhi’s feeling to you is obviously as deep as the ocean, yet she has to put an act as if she is heartless toward you, so this is a hopelesslyhad just been freed frohed aloud, raised his wine cup, and said, “Co Lu cheerfully drank with hior had just returned to his eyes, took the turn to refill the cup for Song Lu Laughing aloud, he said, “I a for the wine Turns out in her heart Zhizhi loves me This matter is not difficult to solve If I can really obtain the world, I will co ceremony In case misfortune befell me that I lost the war and died, naturally this le soldier a single troop from you; I just need your supplies to supportLu said, “It will need Da Xiong’s nod to work The probleraved your name on the whetstone, which usuallyyou to see hiuess Therefore, Yuzhiis also worried about thisasked, “I want to see her first”
“She has already returned to theLu replied, “I just received news froeon post, hence the reason I knew you haveraised his cup and drained it so that not a single drop reo to the lecloser and closer On the bow stood ’s vision far surpassed Lin Lang’s; he was able to see that two of those people oranny whose hair had turned co wo multi-colored Miao attire Because they were still about a li away, Xu Ziling could not see their face clearly
Puzzled, he said, “Unexpectedly there is an old granny on board I wonder who she is?”
Lin Lang’s countenance changed, he said, “Gong Ye’s eyesight is really outstanding This old granny, does she have white hair, and is holding a whisk in her hand?”
Focusing his power into his eyes, Xu Ziling nodded and said, “Indeed she is holding so that looks like a whisk Who is this Senior?”
Severely shaken, Lin Lang said, “Tong Tian Laolao [ has never paid any attention to Jianghu’s affairs Although Hou Jitong is her son, he could never be able tosounded so familiar, and then she re that she had the divine ability to co with the dead in the netherworld Zhai Jiao even said that she wanted to go to Sichuan to look for her, because she wanted to know Zhai Rang’s condition after he died, to see if he has been reincarnated, and things like that
It had never occurred to him that he would suddenly run into her here, and in such situation where it would be difficult for hiain, “There’s also a Miao lady next to her; she looks quite pretty”
Sucking in a ’s ‘Mei Ji’ [lit beautiful wo’s proud disciple, as well as the heir of He Yi Pai [lit the united (or unity) sects] I hear that in the near future Xia Miaoying is going to hand over the Paizhu [sect leader/master] position to her”
And then his face showed a pained expression as he said, “Both He Yi Pai and Ba Meng [Sichuan Alliance] are big gang, big sect that we, Wu Jiang Bang cannot afford to offend This time, I am afraid even our Sha Laoda will not be able to cover it”
Xu Ziling was about to talk, Xia Miaoying already shouted, with voice full of qi, “Indeed it is you, Gong Chenchun I thought you are already dead!”
Just by listening to her voice, which, after traveling that far, yet every as still very clear, it was evident that her inner power has reached the ‘stove fire has turned bright green’ [(allusion to Daoist alcheht to the point of perfection]
Xu Ziling felt his whole face was burning hot; especially under Lin Lang’s stunned luaze, he felt even more embarrassed
He had put on the appearance of one who saas right and acted courageously [idioht that thisChenchun’? Fortunately he had Gong Chenchun’s skin covering up his embarrassment; otherwise he really wished he could find a hole in which to hide hi and said with a bitter s the shi+p near the shore; let me settle this dispute with them [female form] on shore! You need not pay attention toYe obviously did not know Xia Miaoying, how could she act as if she and Gong Ye are old acquaintances?”
Xu Ziling knew that Lin Lang started to suspect so He spoke helplessly, “This ent, Lin Xiangzhu, please bring the shi+p close to the shore”
Lin Lang spoke in low voice, “HowYe has that you will be able to deal with the opponent?”
Xu Ziling watched the closing-in ‘ene away – with rapt attention Shaking his head, he said, “This is hard to say; if they attack together, victory or defeat is difficult to tell, but to escape should not be a proble Tian Laolao is the roup attack Since Gong Ye has that kind of confidence, let’s wait until they coive us for not being able to interfere; Gong Ye please do not blazhu is a true friend indeed Regardless of the developet your honorable Gang involved”
