Martial Arts: Immortality Begins from The Deer and the Cauldron

Chapter 324 The Song clan comes to visit
  After staying in Luoyang for another three to five days, Shang Xiufang also vaguely noticed that Qin Ran's identity was unusual. However, this smart and talented woman had no doubts. She was already satisfied to be favored by her sweetheart.

And Qin Ran also loved her very much. While mobilizing his army to go to Luoyang to confront Li Clan, he doted on the best actress in the world day and night.

Until a piece of news came,
  "What? The Song clan sent people here?" Looking at Fu Junzhuo, who was in charge of intelligence work in front of him, a strange look flashed across Qin Ran's face, "What are the Song clan's people doing here?"

Fu Junzhuo frowned slightly, "It seems...it seems that he came here to form an alliance,"

Among the great masters of the world, Song Que is a very different one. His difference is that he is a swordsman, a swordsman in the true sense, the best swordsman in the world.
  The sword is like a man, and the person is like a sword. Song Que's sword technique has reached the level of "there is nothing else but the sword". It can be called the highest achievement of sword technique. If they had never fought, Qin Ran would have difficulty imagining his skills. How powerful is the sword?

In the original history, the only fight in which Song Que really went all out was when Cihang Jingzhai specially invited the number one man in the Central Plains, San Zhenren Ning Daoqi, to duel with Song Que in order to prevent Song Que and Kou Zhong from conquering the world.

Song Que made a pact of nine swords. If he could not defeat Ning Daoqi within the nine swords, he would withdraw from the war for the world according to the agreement. In the end, Song Que could have killed Ning Daoqi with the "Ninth Style of the Heavenly Sword", but because of Gu Quanfan Qing Hui was merciful and did not cut off the ninth sword, so that there was no real distinction between the superior and the superior.

When his martial arts reaches Song Que's level, he will never overestimate himself. Song Que said that his ninth sword can kill Ning Daoqi, so it must be a one-sword kill. The only problem is probably that before Ning Daoqi died, Is it possible to get Song Que to support him?

As for Song Que's clan, it is one of the four great clans, with influence all over the world.

The Song clan was the most powerful noble clan in the south.

At that time, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, unified the world and established the Great Sui Dynasty. Because he was worried about the power of the Song clan, he adopted a policy of appeasement and made Song Que the Duke of Zhennan. Song Que also knew that the Southern Dynasty was over and pretended to surrender to protect his family.
  Among the four surnames, the other three have all been married to Hu girls. However, this southern clan, which is the only remaining and prestigious clan, has always adhered to the tradition and strictly prohibited intermarriage between clan members and non-Han people. Therefore, it is regarded as the orthodox Han clan in the world.
  When Emperor Wen Yang Jian was in power, despite Song Que's great talent and broad strategy, he still did not dare to act rashly. Instead, he kept a low profile and devoted himself to seclusion to avoid catastrophic disasters.

After Yang Guang came to the throne, internal strife and external troubles, political corruption and rebellion broke out, and the Song Dynasty became active again.
  And to this day, since the sudden rise of Qin Ran, the entire south, except for the Lingnan Song clan and its affiliated force Shu Duzunbao, have all been conquered and annexed by him. In other words, in the entire south, except for Wang Shichong, who has an ambiguous attitude, only Qin Ran and the Song Clan were left with two forces. As for Sui Emperor Yang Guang, anyone with a discerning eye knew that he was a puppet, and even whether he was alive or dead was unknown.
  The news of the arrival of the Song clan envoy set the entire Luoyang in high gear, treating it as a major event.
  The Song clan also attaches great importance to the alliance with the Tianming Alliance. Not only Song Que's successor Song Shidao, Song Que's younger brother, the Song clan's third-ranking figure "Silver Beard" Song Lu, but also Song Que's most popular figure are here. Song Yuzhi, a young girl who lacks favor,
  Song Lu was about forty years old, but he had white hair and a beautiful silver-white beard, but he did not show signs of aging at all. He was graceful and majestic, with the air of a great man, and his demeanor was very humble and polite.
  After he saw Qin Ran, he rushed to say, "Song Lu, the envoy of the Song Dynasty, met the Holy King of Destiny. I am here to pay homage to the Holy King of Destiny on behalf of my clan leader."

Qin Ran glanced at Song Lu. The invisible pressure made Song Lu shiver uncontrollably, and then he said lightly: "Your Majesty, you're welcome. I've heard for a long time that Lord Song is the best swordsman in the world. I have always longed for it, but I just don’t have time to visit. Today I heard that your distinguished envoy came, and I couldn’t be happier. "

Although Song Lu had long known that the Holy King of Destiny was no ordinary person and was rumored to be a great master who could fight with Ning Daoqi,
  When he came, he was a little dissatisfied. After all, Kieran's achievements were not widely circulated. But after he saw Kieran with his own eyes, he suddenly found that Kieran made him feel more stressed than when he met his eldest brother Song Que. He wanted to be bigger. He couldn't help but feel solemn in his heart. He immediately placed Qin Ran in a very high position. His tone couldn't help but be a little more humble.
  "Ming Wang is so polite! This is my nephew and niece. My eldest brother ordered me to bring him to see the world. Shidao, Yuzhi, please come and pay homage to Ming Wang. Ming Wang started from scratch and built such a foundation, which is the world's best." He is a first-class hero, but you two must learn from him, "

While talking, Song Lu pulled out Song Shidao and Song Yuzhi and introduced them to Qin Ran.
  In fact, there is no need for Song Lu to introduce them. The two of them stand out among the envoys, and people can tell them apart at a glance.
  Master Song was handsome, graceful, and dressed in a Confucian uniform, but he was not weak at all, giving people the impression of being both civilized and military.

Song Yuzhi had obviously dressed up, wearing a cloud skirt with a ribbon tied around her waist. She was sitting there, looking like a lady, but there was a hint of reluctance in her eyebrows, as if she didn't want to set foot here.
  Qin Ran would never behave like a child, and laughed loudly, "Qin has heard for a long time that Song Que's children are both good and bad, and when he saw them, they really lived up to their reputation.

Song Shidao said quickly: "Prince Ming, you are so polite. I am just a young master who is sheltering under my father. I am not as good as a hero like Prince Ming."

Just like the rumors, Song Shidao does look like a good old man. There is no arrogance in his tone, giving people a harmonious feeling. Being friends with such a person will give people a feeling of spring breeze, but if As a monarch, he is extremely unqualified. It is no wonder that in the original work, Song Que would rather support Kou Zhong and choose Kou Zhong, his "half-son", to inherit his family's foundation instead of entrusting his efforts to his legitimate son Song Shidao.
  Qin Ran was thinking this, but he didn't say it out loud. He just led Song Clan and his party to meet some of Qin Ran's officials.

Those who can show up on such an occasion are naturally the most important officials under Qin Ran. In addition to the chief Xu Xingzhi and Qiao Military Advisor Shen Luoyan, there are also the newly promoted Li Jing, intelligence chief Fu Junzhuo and a few others. Both sides are polite to each other. After a while, he quickly got to the point.

Shen Luoyan smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the Lord of the Song Dynasty must have known the intention of my king. If I join forces with my Heavenly Mandate Army, after my lord brings peace to the world, we can divide Lingnan and make the Song family the King of Zhennan for generations to come. !”
