In the end, Shi Qingxuan did not agree to any of Zhao Mingyuan's requests. She just said that if they were destined to meet again, she could take off the fake nose and let him see his true face, and it was not impossible to even teach him music.
Of course, not even an address was left behind. Presumably in Shi Qingxuan's mind, she was just leaving with an excuse, and had no intention of seeing her again, right?
Zhao Mingyuan thought that Shi Qingxuan might invite him to deal with the four disciples of the Evil Emperor Xiang Yutian and solve the matter of the Evil Emperor's relics, but who knew that was not the case.
Zhao Mingyuan understood that Shi Qingxuan was emotionally sensitive and timid, which was probably due to the influence of his native family.
She may have even made plans to stay single in Youlin Xiaozhu for the rest of her life. Therefore, she is wary of everyone who comes near her.
But since Zhao Mingyuan had made up his mind, it would not be difficult to see Shi Qingxuan again if he wanted to find her.
After all, although Youlin Xiaozhu outside Shuzhong City is difficult to find, both "Fat Jia" Anlong and Hou Xibai know the location of Youlin Xiaozhu.
And Zhao Mingyuan will make a trip to Shuzhong sooner or later, and he will definitely not let him go.
After the two parted ways, Zhao Mingyuan came to Liyang, a small town on the Yangtze River, and prepared to take a boat upstream to solve the problem of the Baling Gang.
It was already dinner time, and Zhao Mingyuan came to a restaurant.
We climbed up to the second floor, sat at a table by the window, ordered dishes, and prepared to change the waterway and set off after we had had enough wine and food.
There are more than ten tables, half of which are full.
Zhao Mingyuan glanced around and was surprised to see that the Goryeo Fu woman was here.
She obviously also saw Zhao Mingyuan, but she only glanced at him a few times and had no other reaction.
There was a man sitting at another table who was dressed in luxurious clothes. It was obvious at a glance that he was a young nobleman of high status.
I saw him looking at the Korean woman frequently, obviously fascinated by her beauty.
This is another inexplicably familiar scene. Could it be that this noble prince is Song Shidao, the prince of the Song Dynasty?
Then this Korean woman must be Fu Junma.
What a sin!
The young master who was suspected of being Song Shidao saw Zhao Mingyuan going upstairs, and even saw that Zhao Mingyuan seemed to know the woman he liked. His expression even changed, and he obviously regarded Zhao Mingyuan as a competitor and potential love rival.
In today's world, the most famous ones are the Four Gates. The Song family where Song Shidao belongs is one of them.
The Song clan is the most powerful noble clan in the south. The clan leader "Heavenly Sword" Song Que is known as the best swordsman in the world, and Song Shidao is Song Que's youngest son.
With such a prominent status, Song Shidao did not have the deeds of the second generation. He looked like an elegant and modest son of a noble family, without arrogance or domineering. He was tolerant and generous, and he had a compassionate heart.
Of course, the most surprising and admirable thing about him is his dedication.
Such an outstanding person, after falling in love with a woman at first sight, seemed to transform into a god of pure love. He was obsessed with her, became perverted by her, and sad for her.
But Zhao Mingyuan didn't have the slightest thought of looking down on him. After all, he was not much better when he saw Shi Qingxuan. The eldest brother did not laugh at the second brother.
Therefore, for Song Shidao's eternal regret, Zhao Mingyuan has thoughts of adult beauty. As for whether they can come together, it depends on their fate.
If they were really destined to miss each other, then Zhao Mingyuan would not mess with the relationship.
Of course, what Zhao Mingyuan really wants is to stay away from my Shang Xiuxun!
Soon after, Fu Junma finished her meal and waved to the waiter to come over and pay the bill.
But the waiter said respectfully: "The girl's account has already been settled by that young man."
Fu Junma took out the usual five baht and threw it on the table. She said calmly: "I don't need anyone else to pay the bill for me. Take it quickly!"
After saying that, she stood up and went downstairs.
From beginning to end, she didn't even look at Song Shidao.
Seeing this scene, Song Shidao couldn't help but look gloomy and felt very disappointed.
Seeing this, Zhao Mingyuan stepped forward and said, "Is this young master interested in that woman just now?"
Song Shidao saw Zhao Mingyuan coming and said hurriedly: "I was really rude just now and offended the beauty. I don't know what to call this young master, but do you know that girl?"
Zhao Mingyuan said: "My surname is Zhao. As for the woman just now, I don't know her name. However, that woman showed up at Wang Tong's birthday banquet not long ago. Therefore, it can be regarded as a relationship."
Hearing that Zhao Mingyuan had only met once, Song Shidao seemed to be relieved and said: "Brother Zhao, please forgive me, but I forgot to introduce myself.
The younger brother's surname is Song Mingshidao, a native of Lingnan. I passed through Liyang this time just for business needs at home.
But I don’t know where Brother Zhao is going when he passes here?
But after listening to Master Shi’s flute music, are you ready to return home? "
Obviously Song Shidao had already known that Shi Qingxuan was going to play a song at Wang Tong's birthday banquet, but he didn't know why he didn't go.
Zhao Mingyuan said: "I am not planning to return to my hometown, but I am planning to turn from Liyang to the waterway and go westward. I probably have to change trains for most of the journey through Liyang!"
Song Shidao's eyes lit up, and he heard the unfinished meaning in Zhao Mingyuan's words, and continued: "Brother Zhao is saying that the girl also wants to take the boat?"
Zhao Mingyuan smiled and said: "It's almost the same."
Song Shidao couldn't sit still and was about to rush to the shore to find the girl he liked.
But years of self-cultivation allowed him to quickly make up his mind and invited Zhao Mingyuan: "Thank you, Brother Zhao, for your advice. I don't know where Brother Zhao wants to go. If you are on the way, Brother Zhao might as well take a ride on my little brother's boat. It can be regarded as my best wishes." "
Zhao Mingyuan thought that he was waiting for your words, so he replied: "I want to go upstream to Baling, but I don't know if it's the right way?"
Song Shidao smiled and said: "My little brother's ship is going to Shu to transport a batch of goods, and it happens to be on the way. This is also fate, Brother Zhao, please!"
Zhao Mingyuan naturally did not refuse and followed Song Shidao downstairs.
The two of them soon arrived at the pier outside the city. There were boats of all sizes moored beside the pier, and people were flowing up and down.
Song Shidao anxiously looked for the beautiful figure in white, hoping it was not too late.
Fortunately, he was lucky, and he quickly spotted a figure in a white dress on the pier, which was very eye-catching even on the busy pier.
Song Shidao rushed over in a hurry, as if he was afraid that if he was a step too late, the woman he liked would take a boat and leave.
Zhao Mingyuan followed Song Shidao leisurely, without any sign of urgency, but followed Song Shidao's footsteps without taking a step slower.
Soon the two of them came behind the woman in white, and saw her looking at the large and small ships moored at the pier, saying to herself: "Why are so many ships coming back from the west, but they didn't see it?" Is there a ship heading west?”
At this time, Song Shidao said, "May I ask if this girl is waiting for the boat?"
The woman in white seemed to already know who was behind her, and she said without looking back: "My business has nothing to do with you!"
Song Shidao didn't feel dissatisfied at all, he bowed his head and said: "I have offended the beautiful lady just now, I, Song Shidao, would like to apologize in advance.
I didn't dare to disturb you, but I saw that the girl seemed puzzled about the boats turning back one after another, so I came boldly to inquire. I had no other intentions, and I hope she won't be surprised. "
The woman in white turned around, looked at him up and down for a while, and then looked at Zhao Mingyuan next to him, as if wondering why they were mingling together all of a sudden. But he didn't ask any questions, he just said a few words coldly, "Say it!"
Song Shidao was flattered, as if he was happy that the goddess gave him the opportunity to show off, and he immediately said with great joy: "This is because not long ago, Li Zitong's rebel army in the East China Sea just crossed the Huai River and formed an alliance with Du Fuwei.
He even defeated the Sui division and sent an army southward to directly attack Liyang.
If Liyang is attacked, the Yangtze River waterway traffic will inevitably be cut off.
Therefore, everyone now adopts a wait-and-see attitude and dares to go west only after seeing the situation clearly. "
The woman in white was silent after hearing this, as if she was pondering.
Song Shidao hurriedly continued: "If you don't mind, girl, you can ride on the boat below. Song promises that even if you encounter bandits, you will not be disturbed at all."
The woman in white looked at Song Shidao coldly and said calmly: "What a big tone. It seems that she has some skills."
But her eyes were turned to Zhao Mingyuan. Now she already knew Zhao Mingyuan's identity, and thought he was taking advantage of Zhao Mingyuan's reputation.
But Song Shidao said seriously: "How dare I do anything in front of the girl? It's just that the Han family has a somewhat bad reputation in the world. As long as the family flag is hung on the boat, friends on the road will always show some respect."
This is said appropriately, neither arrogant nor humble. But the domineering power within it is clearly visible.
Obviously, according to Song Shidao, no matter who wins or loses, he must give them the face of the Song family and dare not offend them.
Sure enough, no matter how humble and courteous Song Shidao behaved, his inner pride and domineering was by no means inferior to anyone else's, but he just didn't have to show it to ordinary people.
The woman in white glanced between Song Shidao and Zhao Mingyuan, and she was silent, obviously a little moved.
Seeing this, Zhao Mingyuan on the side added fuel to the fire and said: "I heard that the Sui army will send a navy to support. It seems that Yu Wenhuaji of the Yuwen Clan is leading the troops."
Master Song said curiously: "Huh? Is there still this matter? Brother Zhao is so well-informed about the news, I haven't heard about it yet!"
But the woman in white had already made her decision and said, "I'm sorry to bother you, but where is your ship?"
Although Song Shidao was a little surprised by the sudden change of attitude of the woman in white, his intuition told him that it was probably related to Zhao Mingyuan's words.
But he couldn't figure out the relationship between the two and was confused.
However, since the beautiful woman is willing to get on the boat, she doesn't have to worry about not having the opportunity to show her courtesy.
So, Song Shidao didn't have time to worry about other things, so he was overjoyed and led the two of them towards the place where the Song family's boat was parked.
