Gourmets of the Heavens

"Second Uncle! Are you back?"

A young boy watched a well-dressed middle-aged man get off from the big boat, bowed and spoke.

"It's the way of the teacher. Why are you here to pick us up? Where is Song Lu? Where did you go to drink flower wine?"

The middle-aged man is tall, taller than the people around him by more than a head, but he doesn't look tough, but has a sharp demeanor that occasionally flows out.

There was also a spark of wisdom in his eyes, and he looked at his eldest brother's youngest son quite kindly.

"Uncle Lu went to deliver some salt goods. The Pegasus Ranch has now developed a new salt-making method and produced snowflake sugar. Those sugar crops are very suitable for planting in the south. Dad arranged for Uncle Lu and Feima The people from the horse ranch have gone to develop this matter together, so let me pick up the second uncle."

Regardless of his young age, he speaks in a clear and orderly manner. He is obviously a child of a wealthy family who is not lacking in intelligence and family education.

This is natural, there are not many forces in the south who can open their mouths to develop sugar sales together with Pegasus Ranch, and the most capable one is the Lingnan Song Clan who is well-known in the Central Plains today!

Hearing his nephew's words, the middle-aged man's eyes flashed slightly, he shook his head and spoke to the young man.

"Shidao, you check the goods in the back first, and I will go to the sharpening hall to meet the eldest brother!"

Among the current generation of Lingnan Song Clan, the most famous one is of course fighting with 10,000 elite soldiers against a 100,000 army. In the end, Song Que, who won ten battles and ten victories, was dubbed "Zhennan Gong" by Emperor Yang Jian at the time.

Not only is he outstanding in military affairs, but the leader of the Lingnan Song Clan is also a well-known Heavenly Sword in Jianghu. Many people compare him with several contemporary great masters.

And the rest is Song Zhi nicknamed 'Earth Sword'.

After Song Que turned behind the scenes because of his sharpness, most of the Lingnan Song Clan's affairs were handled by this Song Zhi, who was the second uncle of the young man.

Being able to become the number two figure of the Song Clan in Lingnan, Song Zhi is naturally extremely extraordinary, regardless of martial arts and martial arts, he is a superhuman existence.

The purpose of escorting the goods this time was not only to earn the money and food needed by the Song Clan, but also to actually investigate the current situation in various places in the Sui Dynasty and collect information from various forces.

These are things that only he can report to Song Que himself.

Perhaps because of the importance of the rumors and information he heard recently, Song Zhi couldn't help but move a little faster.

When he passed through the many mountain castles and entered an ordinary small courtyard, no one would have thought that the world-renowned 'Sharpening the Knife Hall' did not look so unusual.

Crossing the stone bridge, crossing the bridge and boarding the corridor, passing through the second gate of the courtyard, you will suddenly see a wide open space. At the end is a magnificent five-bay wooden building. A locust tree with a height of more than ten feet stands in the center of the courtyard. The towering towers cover the buildings and courtyards like umbrellas.

Such a scene may be very amazing in the eyes of ordinary people, but for those who are interested, it can only be described as simple.

The building with the word "Modaotang" engraved on the plaque has no furnishings inside. The only thing that attracts attention is that there are more than a dozen precious knives of different shapes hanging on the walls on both sides, and the other end of the door is against the wall. There is a huge stalagmite-like shape, black and smooth, as high as a human body.

It is also known all over the world, the whetstone!

It can be said that Song Zhi came to this sharpening hall every day, but every time he came, he was still overwhelmed by the temperament contained in it, and a man with a majestic figure standing like a mountain appeared in front of his eyes.

It is the current head of the Song Clan, Song Que of the 'Heavenly Sword'!

"I've seen you brother!"

Song Zhi bowed his hands and saluted, and saw a handsome face with almost no blemishes, it was Song Que who turned around.

"Brother Zhi is back? It's been a hard journey. Let's find a place to sit down and talk slowly about the current situation in various places."

A soft and pleasant voice sounded, and Song Que and Song Zhi had already sat in front of a table and chair in the Sharpening Hall.

Fortunately, Song Zhi was also used to Song Que's straight-forward approach, so he didn't intend to exchange extra greetings.

"If it is not as expected by the elder brother, Yang Guang failed to attack Goguryeo again, and the 100,000 Northern Imperial Army can no longer be suppressed. Now he has begun to leave Luoyang intentionally and return to Yangzhou, the former base camp!"

Hearing this, Song Que's face remained unchanged.

"Yang Guang built the Grand Canal to dredge the north and the south to expand the central control over the south, and he wanted to use the opportunity of defeating Goguryeo to weaken the power of the northern clans. After all, he was too anxious, and he also underestimated the ruthless determination of those clans and heroes."

In a word, it pointed out that Yang Guang's actions were not as meaningless as they seemed, and even a great success, but what's the use of that?

As a result, it was determined that Yang Guang had no choice but to end up in a desperate situation.

Even if he wants to make a comeback now, he doesn't have enough strength in his hands, and the good situation was wasted by himself. It can only be said that after Yang Guang ascended the throne of God, he really wanted to surpass his father!

"Brother, according to the current situation, the north is already full of gunpowder, so can the south also make a move?"

After listening to Song Que's words, Song Zhi's eyes shone brightly. Over the years, the Song Clan had planted a lot of secrets in various places in the south, and what they were waiting for was this opportunity.

The only problem is that they did not expect that Yang Guang would defeat Sui so quickly. Originally, according to Song Que's idea, this would be a plan that would take at least three generations to carry out and gradually implement.

But being able to make it in one generation is also more fulfilling for Song Zhi, after all, this is sweeping the world!

It would be an irresistible temptation for anyone with ambition to establish a new dynasty with his own hands.

But Song Que didn't directly give an affirmative answer, but spoke calmly.

"Except for Yang Guang, what's the situation in other places? What happened in Jianghu?"

Knowing that his elder brother always makes decisions before acting, Song Zhi was not in a hurry, and told the information he had collected during these days one by one.

Although there are other means of communication, after all, that has limitations, and it is not as intuitive as face-to-face communication like now.

It also gave Song Que more ideas.

"The four major bandits are all wiped out? At the hands of two young boys from Pegasus Ranch?"

"interesting."

The corner of his mouth curved slightly, and Song Que became more and more interested in Pegasus Ranch.

"The news from Bashu, Shang Xiuxun and a mysterious man arrived in Chengdu, and then disappeared, and then all the four evil spirits disappeared in Bashu, only You Niaojuan's body was found, and I heard that there were other people dead body, but has not yet been identified”

"Xie Hui also got a lot of face, but it seems that he found something, and it didn't happen. This incident has become a taboo in Sovereign Castle."

Hearing that his elder brother was interested in the Pegasus Ranch, Song Zhi immediately told all the relevant information he had collected recently.

It also caused Song Que's expression to change slightly.
