Chapter 454: Honest Man Song Shidao

Shuanglong was fished out of the boat by Fu Junma. Although Fu Junma always said that she wanted to kill all the people in the Central Plains, she was actually a woman deeply influenced by Confucian culture in her heart. She still couldn't do anything to her children, so she spoke harshly, but in her actions she still spared no effort to help Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling.

After crossing the Yangtze River, they arrived in Danyang. Although Fu Junma yelled at the two boys and threatened them along the way. But when they arrived in Danyang, she still changed clothes for Shuanglong and took them to a restaurant for dinner. Of course, before eating, Fu Junma also lamented Shuanglong's talent. Unfortunately, Shuanglong was already over fifteen years old, which was really past the best age for practicing martial arts.

Half an hour ago, Song Shidao took a break from his busy schedule to find this restaurant for dinner, and ordered a few side dishes and a pot of aged wine. Just as he was getting drunk, he saw a scholar in gray and white Confucian robes walking in.

Song Shidao originally just glanced at Du Lan, but saw that man actually smiling at him. Song Shidao, the son of Song Que, was very well-educated. He also smiled back at Dulan, and then saw the man walking towards his dining table.

Du Lan sat across from Song Shidao carelessly like this. This behavior was very rude, because Song Shidao didn't invite him at all.

However, Master Song was famous for his lack of temper, so even though Dulan was rude, he still politely clasped his fists at each other and said, "Excuse me, why did you choose this seat? There are many empty tables around, you can sit there. But I always like to make friends. Friends from the Jianghu, I am Song Shidao, I wonder what my friend’s name is?”

"Dulan!" Dulan said briefly, "I am sitting here not to make friends, but to be a matchmaker. I saw your red star moving, and I specially sent you a marriage."

"Can you please master the art of fortune telling?" Song Shidao didn't slap Dulan in the face and scolded you, a charlatan. Instead, he talked to Duran with great interest.

"I know a little bit, but although you will meet the other half of your destiny, your love journey will definitely be bumpy. Your father, family, and clan rules will all stop you."

Song Shidao was stunned and said, "Do you know my identity?" That means he didn't talk to me accidentally, but he approached him deliberately.

"Of course I know that you are the son of Tiandao. But that is not important to me." Du Lan said as if I am not here to talk to you about your father.

Dulan's appearance deceived Song Shidao. When Dulan mentioned his father, he was not flattering, "Will my clan rules stop me? Could I fall in love with a foreign woman?"

Song Shidao is naturally smart. If he is prevented by family rules, there is only one rule: not to marry a foreigner. Song Shidao felt funny when he thought of this. This Dulan must be making fun of himself, but Song Shidao didn't mind and asked with interest, "Then when will I meet her?"

Dulan smiled slightly and said nothing, instead focusing on the food and wine. Song Shidao has been sitting for a while, and the food and wine have been touched. Seeing Du Lan's appearance, Song Shidao thought that he wanted to cheat him out of a meal, but seeing that Du Lan was interesting, he also didn't lack the money for a table of good wine and food, so he motioned to the waiter to remove the dishes, wine and chopsticks and replace them. Serve new dishes, "Please eat!"

Du Lan was not polite. Anyway, as long as he and Song Shidao sat here, Fu Junma would always come.

So Dulan started eating and stopped talking.

Song Shidao didn't want to leave, but he wanted to know what Du Lan would say.

Almost finished the food and wine slowly, Du Lan looked up and looked at Master Song and said, "Your love is coming!" He could already feel Fu Junma leading Shuanglong to the door, "Hey!! Turn your head towards the door!"

After hearing this, Song Shidao looked through the customers in the hall and saw the door. After seeing this, I couldn't take my eyes away anymore. I saw an arrogant woman standing in the door with two teenagers, her long sword standing upside down behind her, and her temperament was like an ice lotus in full bloom. The world in Song Shidao's eyes disappeared, leaving only the beautiful woman.

"I'm Song Shidao, do you know the girl's name?"

Master Song said, "Enough is enough. You are not reserved at all." Dulan felt that Song Shidao seemed to have changed a person, from Young Master Qianqian to Brother Zhu. However, his move did not gain any favor from Fu Junma. Song Shidao was completely ignored and stared blankly at the woman's back.

"Brother Du!" Song Shidao really believed it this time, his heart was pounding like a deer, "Please tell me what to do?"

"What do you think?" Duran asked.

"Yes, I'm going to pay for this girl." Song Shidao stood up and went to the counter to pay, but was stopped by Du Lan.

"No, no, didn't I say before, you and this woman will be hindered by many people."

"You mean that girl is from a foreign race?"

Du Lan nodded, "The disciple of Master Yijian of Goryeo, do you think he is a foreigner?"

"Ah?" Song Shidao's heart was filled with confusion. If that was really the case, there might really be no outcome between him and the girl, and he was instantly devastated.

This man is really a sweetheart. However, Shuanglong was blocked by Song Shidao just now, and he didn't see himself. It was his luck. Anyway, I'm fine now, so I'll help Master Song, "Don't be discouraged, it's just a clan rule."

"Brother Du, you don't know something. My father attaches great importance to clan rules and will never allow me to marry a woman from a foreign race." Song Shidao fell on the chair and said dejectedly with his head lowered. He didn't say that the clan rule prohibiting intermarriage with other races was set by his father.

"Why are you so useless? Even nature has its own changes, and spring, summer, autumn and winter have different lengths. When has the world ever had unchanging rules? Your Song family has been established for a hundred years, but it has also changed a lot. I have never heard that this family rule cannot be changed." Du Lan said, "The world is in chaos now. If we don't seek common ground while reserving differences, it will be difficult to unify the world again. Look at the Spring and Autumn period when the countries belonged to the Qin Dynasty, the Chu and Han dynasties belonged to the Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms belonged to the Jin Dynasty, and the Five Barbarians belonged to the Sui Dynasty. Which time did not seek common ground while reserving differences make the Central Plains more prosperous. If the unified country killed all foreigners, how could there be such a grand scene? So the theory of bloodline is not acceptable."

"But my father..."

"You are you, and your father is your father!" Du Lan said, "Can you figure this out?"

"This..." Song Shidao was originally a non-competitive character, but this time meeting his beloved was a breakthrough for him to change, so that he would no longer be as unknown as in the original book.

"Song Shidao, I can teach you the Secret of Immortality and Tai Chi. It's not easy to find a woman who can make you fall in love. It's better to take action than to fall in love!" Duran felt like an insurance salesman.

Song Shidao stamped his feet, "Please follow me back to the boat, Mr. Du."

The Song family is a large family in Nanling, and they are rich because of their business. The head of the family, Tiandao Song Que, was well-known in the martial arts world in his early years. After middle age, he rarely took action, but he became more unfathomable. There is a whetstone in the room, and the names of those who want to fight are engraved on it. All of them are martial arts masters, and ordinary people rarely see them.

"Since you sincerely invite me to board the ship, I will tell you another piece of news. The girl took two young men to escape the pursuit of the Sui soldiers, and they will definitely find a boat to go upstream. You can wait at the dock and invite them to board the ship. I will wait for you on the boat!" Duran said.

The first time he was right, it might be a coincidence. The second time he was right again, Song Shidao now knows that Duran is really a god of calculation. Maybe with his help, he can really get the beauty back. The honest man's mind also became active.
