Chapter 988 The right to choose

Song Jiang looked at Gu Hao's confused face, smiled and shook his head, saying, "No way, we have known each other for such a long time, how could you not tell whether I am real or fake?"

After hearing this, Gu Hao poured himself a glass of water and took a sip to calm himself before speaking, "That guy knows you very well... He can impersonate you so well that it's almost indistinguishable from the real thing, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to impersonate you for such a long time without anyone noticing, not even Meng Zhe."

Song Jiang looked a little strange after hearing this, but he said firmly, "Don't worry, Qinglong will not come back this time."

Gu Hao nodded and said, "Okay, let's get down to business. What do you want me to help with today?"

Song Jiang also picked up the cup and drank a sip of water, then cleared his throat and said, "Gu Hao, do you still remember the crack leading to the underworld that we found in Que'ergou last time?"

Gu Hao's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He looked at Song Jiang in surprise and said, "Why are you talking about that crack again? Didn't Meng Zhe seal it up last time?"

Song Jiang nodded and said, "It is sealed... so I want to ask you if there is any way to take me in again."

Gu Hao couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up from his chair and said with wide eyes, "You are crazy... No, are you really Song Jiang? Why didn't I realize you were so brave before?!"

Song Jiang sighed and said, "Look at what you said... I was never so timid before. Also, Meng Zhe must not know about this."

"You're crazy, you're really crazy... You don't even let Meng Zhe know. Do you think your life is too long or mine is too long?!" Gu Hao said in disbelief.

Song Jiang sighed softly and said with a sad face, "Can our friendship not stand the test?"

Gu Hao was even more unhappy when he heard this. "What does this have to do with friendship? Can you go to a place like that just because you want to? Think about it carefully. If it wasn't Meng Zhe who was with you last time, would it be you? Or me? Who of us would have escaped unscathed?!"

Song Jiang knew that Gu Hao was thinking about his own safety. Not everyone can enter the underworld, let alone the most dangerous hell in the underworld. But he really had a reason to go, so he said very sincerely, "This matter is very important to me... Even if you don't want to help me, I have to find another way to get in."

Gu Hao was very puzzled when he heard this and asked, "No, what's the reason? If you can't give me a reasonable reason today, I won't help you no matter how hard you try."

But Song Jiang still looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated, and Gu Hao was so anxious that he didn't know what to say, so he had to agree to Song Jiang. As long as he was willing to tell him his reasons, he would agree to help him even if it was unreasonable. After hearing this, Song Jiang breathed a sigh of relief and slowly told him the reason why he had to go...

Unexpectedly, Gu Hao felt a little regretful after hearing this. He didn't expect the reasons to be so complicated. Logically, Song Jiang had made such a great determination, and he should help him... But the problem is that helping Song Jiang is equivalent to helping him die, which made Gu Hao at a loss for a moment. "Do you really want to go this far? What Qinglong said may not be true?" Gu Hao was still making a final effort, hoping to persuade Song Jiang to give up that terrible idea.

Unexpectedly, Song Jiang just sighed and said, "I know what he said is true... Because whether it is White Tiger or Azure Dragon, or even including Suzaku and Black Tortoise, the four saints will not lie. And at this point, it doesn't matter who owes whom. Now that Azure Dragon has no hope of rebirth, but he has not finished what he should do, I must do it all for him."

Gu Hao was very puzzled when he heard this and asked, "But why didn't Meng Zhe know about this? Have you never doubted the truth of this matter?"

"He doesn't know because there is a reason for everything. In order to protect Qinglong's soul, he dragged his seriously injured body and paid the price of damaged spiritual power. In the end, he and Qinglong were sealed in the magic stone. I'm sure you also know what the ending of Suzaku is. He did this just to protect Xuanwu's soul and wait for a chance to be reborn. Compared to him, Meng Zhe is already lucky. It's just that his spiritual power was damaged and he lost some of his memories from that year." Song Jiang said slowly.

Gu Hao only knew a little about these things. After hearing what Song Jiang said, he asked him again, "Do we have to go this far? This is your own life path. Don't worry about how it came about. Since it already belongs to you, you have the right to choose."

Song Jiang was very touched by Gu Hao's words. He knew that he was only saying this because he was really thinking about him. But at the same time, he also knew that there were some things he had to do, otherwise the family curse would continue, and the promise made by the Four Saints would be in vain...

Song Jiang smiled and said, "Don't worry, this is not an impulsive choice. This is the best choice for everyone after weighing the pros and cons."

Unexpectedly, Gu Hao shook his head and asked, "Be nice to everyone? You are not among them!"

After hearing this, Song Jiang smiled and said, "Gu Hao... I know you will help me."

Gu Hao sighed helplessly and said, "But if Meng Zhe asks me about it later, how should I answer him?"

"This plan was originally made by him. Sooner or later he will remember everything. How could he possibly ask you?" Song Jiang said quietly.

=========
Meng Zhe felt that Song Jiang had been very calm these days, even a little too calm. Every day he either watered his sapling, went to the library to punch in, or played with Ah Fu and Xu Che. With his previous temper, he would definitely get to the bottom of some things, but now he was like nothing happened. Even though Meng Zhe wanted to talk to him about that matter several times, he avoided the topic and deliberately talked about other things.

It should have been a happy thing for Meng Zhe that he didn't have to choose between his former brothers and his current brothers... But now Qinglong's spirit had dissipated, and Meng Zhe's plan for a thousand years had completely failed. He felt very upset and even had the idea of ​​retiring to the mountains.

But before that, Meng Zhe knew that he had to settle Song Jiang first. After all, it was because of him that he brought him to this fantastic and chaotic world, so he had been considering whether to completely withdraw from Song Jiang's world and let everyone return to normal life...

Unexpectedly, that night, Meng Zhe suddenly received a call from Yang Jian, "Is Song Jiang at home?"
