The people coming out of the carriage really surprised both Song Yang and Uncle Qi.
It turned out to be Song Jing, the King of South China Sea, who came in person!
Song Jing is Song Yang's third uncle and Song Tong's third brother.
"Lao Qi, A Yang, long time no see!"
Song Jing waved to the two people who were still a little confused.
"Third brother, why are you here?" Uncle Qi walked forward two steps happily.
He is the seventh child and never participates in the struggle for power.
He is the most popular among the brothers.
Although Song Jing and the emperor had some conflicts, their relationship was pretty good.
"Let's see how A Yang is doing here." Song Jing smiled and looked up Song Yang.
"Welcome Third Uncle to Jiangzhou!" Song Yang said with a smile.
"Haha! I'm not here, I'm here to see you!" Song Jing laughed after hearing his words.
"Why is it that Third Uncle came to see my nephew for an audience? There is no emperor here, we are all relatives." Song Yang said with a puzzled expression on his face.
Song Jing stared at Song Yang deeply, shook his head and said with a smile: "Haha. Sure enough, you and the second child are completely different!"
Song Jing failed in the fight for the throne and was driven to Nanhai County. He didn't have much respect for the emperor in his heart.
"Maybe it's because my experience is different." Song Yang said thoughtfully.
"Experience? That's right! Being able to survive this natural disaster is an extraordinary experience." Song Dingding nodded with emotion.
After saying this, Song Jing turned around and waved.
A young man got out of the car just now, and Song Yang and others didn't notice him.
The appearance of Song Jing attracted the attention of Song Yang and Song Tong.
"Xiaolan, come and meet your seventh uncle!"
The young man came over, hugged Song Tong and said, "My nephew Song Lan pays his respects to Uncle Seventh."
Looking at the young man walking over, Song Yang and his seventh uncle Song Tong looked at each other, and then looked at the third child Song Jing together.
Song Jing shook his head slightly and said: "In troubled times, many things are more convenient for men."
"Uh, let's go into the room and chat, come in and chat!" Song Yang waved.
Song Jing smiled and nodded.
As soon as Song Lan appeared, Song Yang and Uncle Qi knew that she was a woman.
In my twenties, I don't even have an Adam's apple, and my body still smells faint of powder.
The most important thing is that she has small arms and thin legs, but huge chest muscles...
That's why they both looked at Song Jing.
Song Jing didn't hide anything and said it directly.
And judging from this, the guards who followed them also knew about it.
Entering the inner hall, the four members of the old Song family took their seats.
"Third uncle, I came here in person this time. I think it's because of something important."
As the master, Song Yang naturally spoke first.
He didn't mention Song Lan's disguise as a man, he looked directly at Song Jing and asked.
Song Jing glanced at Song Yang and said:
"We all communicated through letters before. I don't know much about Jiangzhou and Jiangnan Alliance."
"Later some friends told me that the alliance has occupied most of Jiangnan, so I started to pay attention to you."
"Some time ago, I also learned about the matter between you and Song Mo."
"Today, south of the Yangtze River, only Lingnan has not yet joined the alliance."
"So here I am."
"Let's see what the alliance and Jiangzhou look like."
Song Jing paused and continued:
"This big gang can't continue to be in such chaos!"
"Always give the people a peaceful paradise!"
After listening to his words, Song Yang nodded in agreement and said:
"What the third uncle said is absolutely true. This natural disaster is a devastating blow to Daqian. If we want the people to live a normal life as soon as possible, we need a quiet paradise."
"I have watched the development of the alliance all the way along my journey. But to be honest, neither Jizhou nor Hongzhou can catch my eye at all."
"I had expectations, but gradually they turned into disappointment. Until just now, I saw hope again in Jiangzhou."
"What you have built in Jiangzhou is already quite large, and I feel inferior to you."
Song Yang smiled and said: "Thank you, Third Uncle. I just do something for the people."
He made the people of Jiangzhou live a good life, and the people of Jiangzhou also supported him very much.
This is a kind of mutual benefit.
Song Yang gained the support of the people, and his battles to expand territory and stabilize the situation went very smoothly.
"It's not a reward. I talked to some people on the road, and I can see that they respect you from the bottom of their hearts."
"Ayang, I am very impressed that the people can respect you from the bottom of their hearts."
Song Jing carried out reconstruction work in Lingnan Road, divided the land, resettled the refugees, and quelled the rebellion; he knew well that it was not easy to win the hearts of the people.
Along the way, he communicated with the people of the Jiangnan Renaissance Alliance as an ordinary citizen.
Although Song Jing's motorcade did not meet with the local officials, princes and nobles, they were really not idle.
He walked through villages and towns all the way, only dealing with the common people in the name of ordinary merchants and convoys.
Therefore, Song Jingcai became more aware of the evaluation of Song Yang among the people.
Even though they were far away in Jizhou, they knew Song Yang's kindness to them.
Especially when they arrived in Hongzhou, the people were already grateful to Song Yang for helping them drive away the bandits.
Then we walked further to Jiangzhou.
What Song Jing saw and heard shocked him a little.
The image of Song Yang in the hearts of the people is extremely tall.
The gods descended to earth and led the people to overcome natural disasters and rebuild their homes.
And he does everything personally and walks with the people.
All the people in Jiangzhou will praise Song Yang when they mention him.
Song Jing asked no less than twenty ordinary people, and the results were surprisingly consistent.
The pride that people feel when mentioning Song Yang cannot be faked.
What's more, for an ordinary businessman, there is no need to pretend, right?
In addition, Jiangzhou's military equipment was strong, and the thieves and bandits were eliminated.
Although Song Jing didn't believe the miraculous achievements he heard from the people, the results were there.
The enemies were all put down, and Jiangzhou became stronger and stronger.
Taken together, these things highlight Song Yang's ability in both civil and martial arts.
"A Yang, I didn't obey your father back then because he was too insidious and cunning. But now I obey you!" Song Jing looked at Song Yang and said.
Song Yang was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
Song Yang also heard about the battle for the throne back then.
I heard that dad used some dishonorable means to get that position.
If we talk about ability, it seems that after the death of the former prince, his third uncle Song Jing was the best successor.
"Third brother, you're tired from the journey, why don't you take a rest early? Look at nephew Lan... he looks exhausted." Song Tong saw Song Yang's dilemma and interrupted.
"This is Orchid, Songlan, orchid of orchids."
Song Jing pointed at the young man who had been silent and said.
She is indeed a woman disguised as a man.
Song Lan is Song Jing's third daughter.
She's just an illegitimate daughter.
Even though they are now twenty, Song Tong and Song Yang have never met.
Song Lan was born to a maid in the palace. Song Jing's concubine made trouble at that time, and Song Lan was never able to clear her name.
But because of this, Song Jingcai took special care of this daughter and often took her with him.
After the natural disaster, the princess died, and the obstacle to Song Lan's rectification of her name was gone.
But Song Jing's two sons also died.
This caused the Nanhai King line to temporarily lose its popularity.
Why do you say temporarily?
Because Song Jing also had a concubine and an unborn child in her belly.
At that time, in order to stabilize the situation, Song Jing could only ask Song Lan to pretend to be his son and stabilize the people's hearts.
The concubine gave birth to a baby boy in April this year.
But he was too young, so Song Lan had to bear the title of Crown Prince for the time being.
