I slay demons and demons with poetry

Chapter 202 Undercurrent
Song Mu was also a little puzzled at the moment when he saw the young men in green clothes passing by beating gongs and drums outside the door, so he turned his head and asked Mo shopkeeper.

"Shopkeeper, what were they talking about just now?"

Shopkeeper Mo also rearranged his mood at this moment, and after hearing Song Mu's question, he also spoke.

"You're talking about the young servant of the Song family. Maybe their young master has written some poems and is spreading them around."

"Young servant from the Song family?"

Song Mu was taken aback when he heard this, and shopkeeper Mo also spoke eloquently.

"Of course it is Song Liwen, the second son of the Song family in Hongzhou. He is 26 years old this year. He has studied as a scholar in Yuzhang Academy for three years. I heard that he will also take the provincial examination this year."

"Speaking of which, Mr. Song is quite talented. He won No. 8 in the academy examination before, and he was also favored by adults. After that, he also made a lot of appearances in various poetry competitions. Now it can be regarded as a good story in our place. "

"It's just that Mr. Song likes to publicize it, saying that it is to let the Song family's poems be praised more, to accumulate the virtues of the ancestors, and to establish a sect in the future."

When he said this, the shopkeeper's face was a bit embarrassed, and he obviously felt that such remarks were a bit too arrogant.

But Song Mu's expression turned cold when he heard all this.

I didn't expect that when I just came to this provincial capital, I had a little bit of intersection with these guys.

Song Wencong didn't know where he was before, but this second young master looked quite powerful.

But the other party is so brazen, and he speaks wildly in the name of his ancestors everywhere, doing such ridiculous things.

Song Mu sat down with a bit of annoyed expression. Seeing Song Mu's expression, Mo's shopkeeper immediately thought that he had said something wrong, but he didn't dare to say anything more, so he could only apologize and leave in a hurry.

Tao Fengming had already finished his meal at this moment, he put down the bowl and chopsticks and saw Song Mu's expression, he also smiled.

"So outraged?"

Song Mu let out a long breath when he heard that, his expression calmed down a bit, and he picked up his rice bowl to eat.

"Master, such actions are really disgusting."

Song Mu spoke angrily, while Tao Fengming withdrew his gaze, swept across Song Mu's body, and then spoke slowly.

"I've also seen that Jinshi fellow from the Song family in Hongzhou. He is getting old now. Although he has been a wealthy family for several generations, his arrogance has not been reduced by half."

"Actually, they are acting like this, isn't it just covering up their guilty conscience?"

Song Mu ate, listening to Tao Fengming's explanation, but still frowning.

While thinking, Song Mu said to Tao Fengming.

"Master, I just feel that they talk about their ancestors all the time. It's not to promote the merits of their ancestors, it's just..."

Song Mu paused, Tao Fengming was only drinking tea at the moment, and he spoke after a while.

"The top priority now is to hide our strengths and bide our time, and prepare for the provincial examination."

Hearing this, Song Mu nodded heavily at the moment. Although he felt a little upset, he also knew that things were going backwards. He just heard from the shopkeeper that this son of the Song family seemed to be taking part in the provincial examination this time.

Now that I am humble and light-hearted, it is simply a fantasy to directly overthrow the huge Song family in Hongzhou in an instant.

But now that he has arrived in the provincial capital, he will not just look at the other party and mess around like this.

Even if he can't subvert all this immediately, he must let the other party know.

Song Mu himself has already arrived at the provincial capital.

From today onwards, I will be a barb, so that they can't sleep or eat.

……

Just when Song Mu returned to his room after eating and began to study, a servant hurriedly ran into the courtyard in a certain mansion in the provincial capital.

In the backyard of this house, a man is half lying in a cool pool at the moment, surrounded by lake stones on both sides, the water in the pool is cool and even luxurious.

The man was leaning against the pool with his bare arms reading a book, and only looked up when he saw the servant coming.

"whats the matter?"

This is a man with a deep face. He is not very old, but there is a bit of coldness in his brows, and there is a feeling that strangers should not get close to him when he speaks.

This person is Song Liwen, the so-called second young master of the Song family in Hongzhou.

The servant who heard these words bowed his head and said in a respectful voice.

"Master, that person is here, and he has now lived in the Jizhou Guild Hall."

"Oh?"

Song Liwen's eyes flickered for a moment when he heard this sentence, and he couldn't see any expression, so he just spoke lightly at this moment.

"What action does he have?"

"I didn't see it. The peddler we arranged at the door only saw him go to rest. It seems that he just arrived in the provincial capital."

Song Liwen snorted coldly when he heard this, drank the drink next to him, and said in a deep voice.

"Let's report this to father. Uncle told us to pay attention to this guy. Last time, my cheap cousin said that he met him in Guangdong Province. I didn't expect this guy to come so soon."

When the servant heard this, he immediately raised his head and let out a whoosh, and then asked in a rather fawning manner.

"Then, are we..."

As the boy said so, he made a knife movement, but Song Liwen snorted fiercely when he saw it.

"madness!"

The boy hurriedly lowered his head, looking a little flustered.

"He's not his father, Song Liangtong. Now he bears the title of the head of the school, and is also famous in "Tianxia Wenkan". If he does this, you and I will lose our heads immediately."

"What you said is true, but didn't you say that this guy will be our enemy, so... what should we do?"

The little servant hurriedly nodded in agreement, but at this moment he still asked one more question.

Song Liwen glanced at the other party slightly, and immediately said with some disdain.

"Since he thinks he's so powerful, then this time I'll take good care of his prestige, but after being a scholar for a year, do you think I can reach the sky in one step?"

"It's just a young boy who really thinks that if he has written a few good poems, he can learn literary skills and supernatural powers?"

The servant who heard this also nodded repeatedly.Song Liwen waved his hand to let the opponent back down.

The courtyard fell into silence, and Song Liwen's face became a bit gloomy. At this moment, he stretched out his hand and grabbed a book on the table next to the pool with a force.

It was also a "Tianxia Wenkan", and Song Mu's "Exorcism" was published on it.

The pages of the book were flipping in the other party's hands, and Song Liwen's face was a little more hostile, and his expression became a little more ferocious.

"I don't know where you learned it from."

"It seems that the ancestor secretly left you a lot of things."

Song Liwen said in a low voice, the pupils of those eyes had drooped at the moment, as if they were thinking about something.

And it seems that overnight, the news of Song Mu's appearance in the provincial capital began to spread gradually.

From the beginning, it was only in some bookstores, and later it gradually developed into some schools where there were many discussions.

And almost every student immediately showed great interest after knowing this situation.

Before Song Mu knew all this, there was already an undercurrent in the provincial capital.
