Comprehensive martial arts: start with a fire dragon ball

A welcome banquet ended in an atmosphere of joy for the guests and the host.

Afterwards, Song Que took Chu Wanxin to another place to drink tea.

Apart from Song Que and Chu Wanxin, only Song Zhi, the head of the Song Clan, and Song Shidao, the successor of the Song Clan, were left.

The reason for this is that the next thing they want to talk about is how Chu Wanxin will cooperate with the Song Clan, or how much support the Song Clan can provide for Chu Wanxin.

For these matters, Song Que did not personally participate, but let Song Zhi and Chu Wanxin communicate with each other.

In fact, the Song Clan can provide Chu Wanxin with a lot of help, but the help is not in hard power.

After all, the Song Clan didn't own many soldiers and horses. What the Song Clan could provide Chu Wanxin were mostly auxiliary things.

Such as all kinds of craftsmen, information from all parties, and support for various material procurement channels.

As for the matter of recruiting troops, Chu Wanxin had to figure out a solution by himself.

After all, the relationship between the Song Clan and Chu Wanxin is just a cooperative relationship. How Chu Wanxin will develop depends on his own efforts.

Chu Wanxin was very satisfied with this. After all, these things were missing between him and those big forces.

Things like these can't be done overnight. If there is no support from the Song Clan, Chu Wanxin may have to go grab it.

As for the recruitment of soldiers and horses, it was a breeze for Chu Wanxin. After all, he was rich, very rich.

And now that the chaos of the Sui Dynasty has become apparent, it is very simple to recruit people. What Chu Wanxin lacks is how to exchange the money in his hands for food and soldiers.

These things are what the Song clan needs to provide.

If even the recruitment and training of soldiers and horses required the help of the Song Clan, then Chu Wanxin would only become a puppet of the Song Clan in the end.

After a while, after discussing the general direction with Song Zhi, Chu Wanxin stopped communicating with satisfaction.

As for the specific matters, it was up to the Song Clan and Jing Ling to discuss ruthlessly. Chu Wanxin only needed to formulate a general direction.

Picking up the teacup at the side, Chu Wanxin, who moistened his lips lightly, looked at Song Que, who was beside him with an old god, but suddenly his expression changed.

"Lord, I heard that you and Master Xiehui of Sovereign Fort are not only in-laws, but also sworn brothers?"

"Huh? That's right. When we were young, Xie Hui and I traveled together and traveled all over the world. Because we liked each other, we sworn brothers together. Later, we married Yuzhi's older sister, Yuhua, to Xiehui's only son, Wenlong. .”

Although it was strange that Chu Wanxin suddenly asked this question, Song Que did not hide it. After all, this is not a secret at all, and many people know it.

"You know, Lord Xiehui, Lord Xiehui has always been in love with Lord Fanqing Huizhai of Cihang Jingzhai!"

"Know!"

Hearing Chu Wanxin mention Fan Qinghui's name again, Song Que replied with a flat face and unchanged eyes.

Song Que had already completely let go of all the past events between him and Fan Qinghui.

As for Xie Hui's feelings for Fan Qinghui, Song Que already knew about it when he was young.

Because he and Xie Hui met Fan Qinghui for the first time, and they both fell in love with Fan Qinghui at first sight.

Later, Song Que saw through Fan Qinghui's true nature, and decisively swung his knife to cut off the thread of love, but Xie Hui was always immersed in that relationship.

But this is Xie Hui's private matter after all, so Song Que didn't interfere too much!
"The lord should be aware of Cihang Jingzhai's style of conduct, but this junior has heard that their descendant has gone down to choose the emperor!"

After hearing Song Que finish speaking, Chu Wanxin changed his voice and mentioned Cihang Jingzhai.

"Wan Xin is preparing to participate in the election?"

Regarding what Chu Wanxin said about Cihang Jingzhai's "choose the emperor on behalf of the sky", Song Que asked with a look of disdain in his eyes.

"Hehe, the boss has misunderstood. As far as this junior knows, Cihang Jingzhai's emperor election is just a show. In fact, the result has already been determined!"

"Not surprisingly!"

Nodding clearly, there was no strange expression on Song Que's face.

He had known about Cihang Jingzhai's behavior for a long time, and of course he was not surprised. Even Song Zhi, who was at the side, just nodded knowingly when he heard the words, obviously he had expected it a long time ago.

Only Song Shidao, who was on the side, was surprised when he heard that Chu Wanxin had exposed Cihang Jingzhai's secret operation.

Obviously he had never seen Cihang Jingzhai, who had such a good reputation abroad, act like this.

Song Zhi on the side looked at his nephew, whose eyes were full of "clear stupidity", and then at Chu Wanxin who was talking, and sighed in his heart.

"The lord, but who is the one chosen by Cihang Jingzhai?"

"Probably Li Shimin from the Li Clan!"

What Chu Wanxin didn't expect was that Song Que revealed the candidate selected by Cihang Jingzhai in one go.

"Heh, I've heard of Ning Laodao's personal criticism of helping the world and Anmin. With Cihang Jingzhai's previous style, it's not difficult to guess that all the people he made friends with were aristocratic families from all over the Sui Dynasty!"

Perhaps seeing the surprise in Chu Wanxin's eyes, Song Que explained a few words casually.

Hearing this, Chu Wanxin nodded in understanding.

Indeed, as Song Que said, Cihang Jingzhai's thoughts are not difficult to guess.

Judging from the current situation in the Great Sui Dynasty, once Yang Guang is gone, the only forces that are most likely to win the battle of the dragon are the Li faction, the Tianxiahui, and the Supreme League.

But compared to the Li Clan, the other two are Jianghu forces, and may be very powerful, but they are not in the interests of Cihang Jingzhai, who is also a Jianghu force.

As for supporting other smaller forces, not to mention whether they can win, even if the faction selected by Cihang Jingzhai wins in the end, then Cihang Jingzhai itself may be seriously injured.

So, of course, it is better to choose Li Shimin, the second son of the Li family who has a bad name.

After all, maybe Li Clan doesn't need Cihang Jingzhai, but Li Shimin does, because on top of him, there is a more suitable elder brother to inherit that position.

In fact, if Song Que hadn't rejected the fact that Li Fan had alien blood in his body, he might have supported Li Shimin even when his family had no hope.

"Since the lord knows, don't you worry about it? Once the Li family rises in the future, will the master Xiehui, under Fan Qinghui's instructions, join the Li family? You know, the reason why the lord was able to block it several times The offensive of the Sui Dynasty relied not only on the powerful military strength of the Song Clan, but also on the dangerous terrain in the south of the Lingnan Mountains. Once the Domineering Fort leads the way, the Li Clan's army can drive straight in. At that time..."

Chu Wanxin didn't continue to say the next words, but Song Que already understood.
