Chapter 1807: Sending Jingniang A Thousand Miles Away

Although the story of Zhao Kuangyin did not trigger any dramatic climax, it was indeed recognized and loved by some readers. They all felt that the new book with a different writing style was very interesting.

In particular, it is extremely ingenious to show the real life of ordinary people in troubled times by describing stories in the rivers and lakes, and to extend the various contexts of the struggles in the rivers and lakes to the various courts, thus reflecting the court's governance and exploitation of the people.

Therefore, the story of "Stealing Song" has received unanimous praise from readers since the very beginning, and the novel is very popular. Readers commented that it swept away the bloody palace plot of "The Sun and the Moon Upside Down" and returned to the peak of "North and South Become One".

The protagonist Zhao Kuangyin, who came from the underworld and had the image of a chivalrous knight, was loved by many readers, especially the story of sending Jingniang thousands of miles away.

This story tells that when Zhao Kuangyin was traveling in the martial arts world, he accidentally discovered that a group of bandits with high martial arts skills had kidnapped Zhao Jingniang, the most beautiful woman in the martial arts world, and wanted to commit indecent acts with Zhao Jingniang in a Taoist temple. As a result, Zhao Kuangyin took action and killed more than a dozen masters by himself, rescued Zhao Jingniang, and planned to escort her back home.

But what Zhao Kuangyin didn't know was that behind the robber was actually the world's top underworld master, and among the people he killed was the master's own brother.

So this top underworld master began to launch rounds of hunting down Zhao Kuangyin. In the process of sending Jingniang for thousands of miles, Zhao Kuangyin fought wits and courage with this top underworld master. Along the way, he encountered various poisonings, encirclements, ambushes, and even a head-on confrontation with this top underworld master.

The underworld launched more than 30 rounds of attacks on Zhao Kuangyin, but in the end they were all resolved by Zhao Kuangyin with various means. In this crazy pursuit, Zhao Kuangyin was no match for the enemy from the beginning, and was beaten to the point of vomiting blood several times, hovering on the brink of life and death.

But during this process, Zhao Kuangyin also had many adventures, his martial arts skills further improved, and he even created a new set of martial arts in battle: Panlong Stick. His internal strength and cultivation reached the pinnacle in the martial arts world.

In the second half of the chase, Zhao Kuangyin changed from being chased in the early stage to counterattacking various underworld masters, killing all the masters who had forced him into a dead end. In the end, he had a final battle with the number one underworld master. Relying on the Panlong stick he created, he killed this world-famous number one underworld master head-on.

At this point, Zhao Kuangyin became a well-known master in the martial arts world. He also escorted Zhao Jingniang to his home and to her relatives.

This plot can be regarded as the first climax of the novel. His readers were very satisfied, and Zhao Kuangyin's popularity soared in the process. The score of "Stealing Song" even reached a high score of 1, almost catching up with "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "The Heavenly Khan".

Unexpectedly, readers found that something seemed wrong when the plot reached the end.

Although Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Jingniang had been together for nearly three months, there were several times when Zhao Kuangyin was in danger and Zhao Jingniang treated his injuries without any hesitation. The two had countless intimate contacts, and Zhao Jingniang even made her feelings clear, wanting to be with Zhao Kuangyin.

In fact, the readers share the same idea as Zhao Jingniang. Although Zhao Kuangyin already has a wife, this wife does not appear on the screen for many times, and she is a wife arranged for him since birth. The two sides have no feelings for each other, so many readers think that Zhao Jingniang is the first female protagonist.

I was crazy about seeing the CP plot of Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Jingniang, but Zhao Kuangyin treated Zhao Jingniang as a brother and sister, remained calm and sent Zhao Jingniang back home intact. If it was normal to continue to develop up to this point and readers could still accept it, the following plot was completely wrong.

First, after Zhao Jingniang's family learned about their daughter's situation, they took the initiative to propose to marry their daughter to Zhao Kuangyin. However, Zhao Kuangyin refused. In Zhao Kuangyin's words, although he loved Zhao Jingniang very much, if he married Zhao Jingniang like this, people would inevitably think that he was seeking revenge and it would damage his reputation.

Secondly, the story of him sending Jingniang thousands of miles away was already well known in the martial arts world. He also declared in the martial arts world that he and Jingniang were brother and sister, and he had never harmed Jingniang in the slightest. Therefore, the heroes in the martial arts world all thought that he, Zhao Kuangyin, was a great hero.

If he marries Zhao Jingniang now, and the brother and sister become husband and wife, doesn't it mean that all his previous statements have become a joke?

In the end, as soon as he sent the person back, her parents urged him to get married. Does this mean that Zhao Jingniang was no longer a virgin and could not marry anyone else but him, Zhao Kuangyin? Then who else could it be except him, Zhao Kuangyin, who ruined Jingniang's virginity?

So Zhao Kuangyin was determined not to marry her, but he didn't know the reason, so he left that night. He came back a month later and wanted to visit Zhao Jingniang, but he learned that because of Zhao Kuangyin's refusal to marry her, the neighbors around him were talking about her. They all said that Zhao Jingniang must have had her body damaged by robbers, otherwise no man would refuse to marry Zhao Jingniang.

Zhao Jingniang's parents were also under great pressure and tried every means to marry Zhao Jingniang off to avoid such gossip. However, Zhao Jingniang only had Zhao Kuangyin in her heart, so she eventually hanged herself and died.

The most beautiful woman in the world, for whom Zhao Kuangyin almost sacrificed his life to protect Qianli Ping'an, died for this reason.

In the end, Zhao Kuangyin lit three incense sticks in front of Zhao Jingniang's grave, and rode away on his horse without even saying sorry.

Once this plot was written, the damage it did to Zhao Kuangyin's personal image can be imagined. The readers were completely dumbfounded, and the entire image of Zhao Kuangyin was completely destroyed. As for Liu Xu, who wrote such a plot, he was scolded for almost several years.

Well, if such a plot appeared in a novel on Qidian, I'm afraid countless people would directly shout that it is poisonous, and then die from the poison, subscriptions would collapse, and the author would explode.

However, this is the historical story of sending Jingniang for thousands of miles. Although the story itself is not true, it is just a story in Yuan opera, and its origin is similar to that of Journey to the West. However, this story has its own historical background, and it is also an excellent martial arts theme, so Liu Xu wrote it.

The result was naturally an explosive effect. The entire novel "Stealing Song" reached the third climax of the novel here, which had a huge impact on Liu Xu who was still on the road at that time... Although the climax of the plot did not break through the twenty-fifth heaven in the end, the barrier between the two heavens was weakened a lot by the impact, laying a good foundation for the next second climax.

What, what is the second highest climax you ask?
Of course, that is the plot where Zhao Kuangyin puts on more clothes because it’s cold!
