In the seventh year of the Great Cause, Zhai Rang raised the flag of righteousness in Anyang and officially rebelled against the Sui Dynasty. Wagang Village was now at its peak. When insurrectionary armies everywhere mentioned the name of Wagang Village, they all recommended Wagang as the leader.
Hearing what Mu Jiangyin said, Song Xing's heart moved: "You mean, Song Que is in Wagang Village now?"
Mu Jiangyin was not sure: "My people have not seen Song Que, but Song Lu, the third person in the Song family, the Silver Dragon, has appeared in Wagang Village and is very close to Li Li in Wagang Village."
Liu Qingshan interjected: "Why did Song Lu visit Li Mi instead of visiting Zhai Rang when he went to Wagang?"
Mu Jiangyin said: "A few days ago, there was internal strife in Wagang. Li Mi killed the big leader Zhai Rang and became the de facto leader of Wagang. Song Lu did not find the wrong person."
Bichen and Liu Qingshan both had surprised expressions on their faces. They usually didn't pay much attention to the news about the rebels, but they didn't expect that there would be internal strife in the Wagang Army.
A look of doubt flashed in Bichen's eyes: "The Song family is in Lingnan. No matter how chaotic the world is, it has nothing to do with them. Why did they get involved in this muddy water?"
The Song clan had ruled Lingnan as early as the Northern and Southern Dynasties. After the unification of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty swept the south and wanted to conquer Lingnan with an army of 100,000. The clan leader Song Que led 10,000 elite troops to fight against it.
The two sides fought a decisive battle in Cangwu, and Song Que won ten of the ten battles. Yang Jian then adopted a gentle policy and made Song Que the Duke of Zhennan. Although Song Que accepted the title, he never went to court. Yang Jian regretted that he could not conquer Lingnan throughout his life.
Song Que was well versed in the art of war, good at analyzing the world's situation, and proficient in all-round layout of operations. Moreover, because the warlord named Song held a very high status in Lingnan, Song Que was like a god in the minds of the people of Lingnan.
This is why Bichen and others subconsciously do not want to be enemies with this person.
Liu Qingshan's eyes flashed: "Perhaps they were not satisfied with being trapped in Lingnan and the world was in chaos, so they simply cooperated with Wagang behind the scenes to overthrow the Sui Dynasty."
Mu Jiangyin disagreed with Liu Qingshan's guess: "As before, Song Que, like Huan Yu, has no motive for killing. Song Que rarely left Lingnan in recent years, and the Holy Sect almost never provoked the Song clan. He How could you kill Zuo Youxian for no reason?"
Bichen's face showed a look of reminiscence: "Perhaps Zuo Youxian really has a grudge against Song Que."
Seeing everyone looking over, Bichen talked about an adult past event: "Speaking of it, this matter is also related to the Mie Qing Dao. Twenty years ago, when Xi Yinggang, the successor of the Mie Qing Dao, made his debut, he angered Song Que with his brutal killing and was killed. After Song Que was defeated, he pursued him and fled to the Western Regions."
"It is said that when Song Que was chasing Xi Ying, he happened to encounter the evil-doing Zuo Youxian, so he casually slashed with his sword. Zuo Youxian was lucky enough to miraculously survive his serious injuries."
"But this also caused him to be seriously injured, so that even ten years later, the injury was not completely healed. He was defeated by Master in the battle to seize the monument, which was a great shame and humiliation for him."
Liu Qingshan heard this and speculated: "Could it be that Zuo Youxian accidentally bumped into the Song family's team heading to Wagang this time, so he wanted to avenge his shame and was killed instead?"
Bichen sneered: "It's unlikely that Zuo Youxian would just run away if he saw Song Que."
It is the temperament of people in the Demon Sect to act according to the wind. Even if Zuo Youxian hated Song Que, he would not dare to step forward and die in the face of a heavenly sword that was far more powerful than him.
Several people made several speculations, but none of them could be justified. The murderer erased all useful clues. The only clue that could be found was the knife mark that killed Zuo Youxian, and the Song family's knife skills were too imaginary.
"Second Senior Brother, first send someone to investigate the recent whereabouts of Yue Shan, Huan Yu, and Song Que."
Song Xing thought for a while and gave instructions to Mu Jiangyin.
Zuo Youxian has never been to Turks and Goryeo, so the probability of enmity with Geshuhan and Gaisuwen is low.
The remaining few people are capable of killing Zuo Youxian, so we might as well investigate them all.
When Bichen heard this, he stepped forward and said to Song Xing: "Master Guanzhao, do you need me to send someone to Wagang Village?"
Although all current clues point to the Song Clan, or even the Heavenly Saber Song Que, who killed Zuo Youxian, Bichen still wanted to send someone to Wagang Village to confirm the matter first.
Although Laojun Temple has become an existence that no one dares to ignore in the Demon Sect because of Song Xing, all this is based on the fact that Song Xing is the master of Laojun Temple.
Although the battle with Wu Zun established Song Xing's supreme prestige in the Demon Sect, it also made Laojun Guan an enemy of a great master.
From Bi Chen's point of view, if Lao Jun Guan were to enmity with Song Que whose strength was hardly inferior to Bi Xuan's, it would be like adding insult to injury.
So Pichen thought of sending someone to Wagang's site to conduct an investigation first, and then decide what Laojun Guan should do after the dust settled, and give Laojun Guan time to deal with it.
Faced with Bichen's kindness, Song Xing said: "No, let the third senior brother go to Nanjun. The two senior brothers will go back to Luoyang first. In these troubled times, Laojunguan needs senior brother to be in charge. I will personally go to Wagang Village." Take a trip."
Bichen heard what Song Xing said and said hesitantly: "If you, the temple master, come forward in person, you can certainly solve the problem as quickly as possible, but will the conflict between Wagang Village and the Song family intensify to the surface?"
Song Que, the Heavenly Sword, was essentially the King of Lingnan. When he was in charge of Lingnan, he was someone that even the entire Demon Sect did not dare to provoke.
Song Xing said: "It is precisely because I want to give Tiandao face that I went there in person to find out what happened to the Song family. If Zuo Youxian was really killed by Song Que, with his strength, it would be useless to kill too many people."
After looking around, Song Xing directly called them by name: "Let Kou Zhong and Zi Ling go with me. Young people always have to go out and gain experience."
When Kou Zhong heard this, his eyes suddenly shone. Since he became Song Xing's apprentice, what he had seen and heard along the way had opened his eyes. When he heard that Song Xing wanted to take him to Wagang Village, he immediately wanted to do it.
Seeing that Song Xing had made up his mind, Bichen said no more. Laojun saw that everything was going on, and he, Mu Jiangyin and others really couldn't leave for too long.
Seeing Song Xing getting up to leave, Mu Jiangyin said: "It won't be long before the Holy Sect Conference. Laojun Guan will steal the show this time. Many people will definitely target us by then. If you don't show up..."
Song Xing waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely be back before then."
Leaving Pi Chen and others to deal with the body, Song Xing took Kou Zhong and two others and rode away.
It wasn't until he had thrown the people behind him far away that Song Xing slowed down his horse and Kou Zhong caught up with him. Kou Zhong said with excitement on his face: "Master, are you going to make a big fuss in Wagang Village this time?"

He likes to be lively by nature. Although staying in Baiyun Temple is more comfortable, being able to travel around the world and see different scenery is his favorite life.
Song Xing didn't speak. He looked at the road ahead and was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Ziling, do you know why I brought you two out alone?"
Xu Ziling was stunned. He didn't expect that Song Xing would suddenly ask him something. After thinking about it, he still said: "Master, you only brought the two of us out. Do you think there is a spy in Lao Jun's temple?"
