Chapter 274 Li Chenzhou's Beloved Woman
Sword energy was everywhere in the red-light district and alleys.

A very poetic but murderous sword move flew out directly. This sword move was just as its name indicated, like the last pear blossom rain in spring, gorgeous and deadly. Each "petal" contained a sharp sword energy, covering Song Tianen's body. However, this seemingly exquisite attack was as childish as a child's play in Song Tianen's eyes.

Song Tianen smiled faintly, without moving his body, and just flicked his sword finger lightly, the sword energy in the sky was like being pulled by an invisible hand, deviating from its original trajectory, and finally dissipated into the invisible. He said softly: "The sword is good, and the man is more beautiful, but if it is used to hurt people, isn't it a pity?"

Seeing her attack being easily resolved, the beauty's face changed slightly, but fortunately she was determined, and when her first move failed, she changed her move again: "Red Beauty Sword - Separation of Love and Desire!"

Sa!
The soft sword turned into a hard sword, and the tip of the sword was shining coldly, like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, going straight to Song Tianen's throat. She poured all her mind and strength into this sword, trying to achieve success with one sword.

Song Tianen slightly turned his body and took a light step, just avoiding the fatal blow. At the same time, he raised his right hand slightly, and a light blue sword energy condensed at his fingertips. It was another soft sword style in the Wuxiang Sword Finger - "Stop Water Condensation Sword". The sword energy slowly condensed in the air, forming a crystal clear sword shape, which was invisible but substantial, as if it could cut off all the illusions in the world.

"Beauty, although the sword is sharp, it will be useless if your heart is not right." Song Tianen's voice was gentle but firm. He waved his sword lightly, and the sword of Zhishui condensed in the air became like a living thing, carrying a sharp sword intent, and went straight to the beauty.

Seeing this, the beauty was horrified. She had never seen such a strange sword technique. She tried her best to inject all the remaining internal force in her body into the soft sword, trying to resist this sudden attack. However, the strength of the two sides was too different. Her sword light seemed so pale and powerless in front of the sword of water. With a crisp sound of "ding", the soft sword was cut off, and the tip of the sword flew out and inserted into the soil beside it.

The beauty felt her hands go empty, and she stumbled back a few steps due to the loss of support, and fell into the flowers, her face as pale as paper. She looked up at Song Tianen, tears welled up in her eyes, and she lifted her bright red skirt involuntarily, revealing two white and tender thighs and jade feet in embroidered shoes.

Obviously, I can't beat the seduction.

Song Tianen clapped his hands: "It's really wonderful. The beauty's mood changes so quickly that it's amazing. The swordsmanship is cruel, but the person is even more beautiful."

The beauty wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said, "Sir, please don't blame me. I was so scared in the market just now that I thought you were one of those killers who kill without blinking an eye. I hope you won't kill me."

Song Tianen showed a playful smile: "It's very easy to forgive you. I think with a beauty like you cooking a delicious meal for me and pouring two pots of good wine, I will just pretend that the two swords just now never happened."

The beauty rolled her eyes and said, "Sir, why do you think I can cook a delicious meal? Maybe I am just an amateur."

Song Tianen shook his head: "Just because, like you, I am also a person with extremely high requirements. I want to choose the best dishes and eat the most delicious food. People like us will not wrong ourselves, and we can also cook the best ingredients."

The beauty covered her mouth and smiled: "What a pleasant surprise! Young Master is not only an expert in swordsmanship, but is also quite proficient in cooking. As the saying goes, a gentleman stays away from the kitchen. Are you hinting to me that you are not a gentleman?"

The topic seemed to become interesting, sweeping away the previous solemn atmosphere. The beauty's voice became sweet, and her two beautiful legs deliberately changed positions from time to time. It seemed that the dark red silk dress inside flashed by, and the unique aura of a mature woman was simply amazing.

Song Tianen raised his eyebrows: "Gentleman? I never considered myself a gentleman, but in front of most women in this world, I am definitely a gentleman who can remain calm."

"You are such a conceited young man. I can't help but be curious. How outstanding a woman would it take to tear off the mask of a gentleman?"

"Allow me to ask first, what is your name, madam?" Song Tianen waved his hand casually, and the beautiful woman cried out softly and her body floated up involuntarily and stood twenty feet in front of Song Tianen. This distance was already the distance for lovers, and they could hear each other's breathing within reach.

Song Tianen just felt that there was a strong fragrance in his nose. This fragrance was more mysterious and more alluring than any perfume in modern society. Coupled with the pitiful appearance of the beauty, it was really captivating. He wished he could eat this girl alive.

The beauty was reluctant to accept the invitation, and said in a resentful tone: "We just met by chance, and men and women should not be intimate. You asked me my name directly before we could say a few words. Sir, you really make me embarrassed. But anyway, you should answer my question first."

Song Tianen smiled slightly. The woman in front of him would at least be a Green Tea Queen on the level of Lin Chiling in modern society.

The micro-expressions contained a complex expression of fear, hesitation, nervousness, expectation, etc., which was rare, and the tone of her voice did not make people feel bored at all. This extraordinary woman with extraordinary grace and elegance, her appearance was as beautiful as a water lotus!
"Okay, if you have the guts to ask, I'm not afraid to answer. Listen carefully, I only like mature, noble, unworldly and elegant women with strong personalities and abilities, who are very different from others."

The above indicators all point to the woman in front of you.

The beauty covered her mouth and chuckled: "Hehehe, from what I hear, how come your ideal partner is so similar to me?"

"It's a give and take, now it's your turn to answer my question. Madam, what is your name?"

"Alas," the beauty sighed helplessly, "I am Zhao Shirong from the capital!"

Song Tianen's pupils shrank, it was indeed her!

Zhao Shirong is not only the newlywed wife of Li Chenzhou, but also the white moonlight of Liu Suifeng! She is also the third person on the power list~
The power of the Power Gang in the underworld is comparable to that of the emperor. The third person is already a big shot in the underworld. Her name is known to everyone. Zhao Shirong doesn't believe that the man in front of her doesn't know it!
To offend her is equivalent to offending Li Chenzhou and Liu Suifeng at the same time, and even making enemies with the 100,000 disciples of the Power Gang.

But to Zhao Shirong's disappointment, she did not detect any nervousness or panic in Song Tianen.

Instead, I saw a bit of teasing, which is not a good sign!

"It's getting more and more interesting! I have to say, I feel like I've fallen in love with you, Rong, at first sight."

Song Tianen lifted Zhao Shirong's round and smooth chin. People say that there is no such thing as love at first sight in this world. It is nothing more than lust at first sight. The rose in front of him may be the flower with the most thorns and the most prickly in the world, but Song Tianen doesn't care!
Moreover, the other party really wanted to take his life just now. To deal with such a woman, he would naturally have to make her pay some price.

That hand seemed to be caressing Zhao Shirong's beautiful face like a lover.

"Arong? Chen Zhou has never called me that? And he has never done anything so obscene to me!"

Zhao Shirong had never been called by such a nickname so intimately before, and being touched by a man was the first time in her life!
Even though she is a newly married woman, on the wedding night, Grandpa Yan made a scene for her. It was a very ugly scene and both of them were hurt. Now Li Chenzhou is unable to have sex while he is recovering from his injuries.

You read it right, Yan Kuangtu is Li Chenzhou's father and also Zhao Shirong's admirer. The fact that both father and son fall in love with the same woman is enough to show Zhao Shirong's nature as a beauty who brings disaster.

Zhao Shirong had never been addressed so intimately by any other man, and was even taken advantage of in public. She immediately became furious and ignored the gap in strength between her and Song Tianen.

While Song Tianen was stroking her smooth face with his fingers, he used his fingers to represent the sword in his hand.

The name of this sword is, Beauty Sword - the beautiful girl has a master.

Driven by the energy, the petals all over the mountains seemed to be moved, forming a rain of flower swords, aiming at the 108 key acupoints on Song Tianen's body.

Song Tianen chuckled, and his figure flashed like a ghost. In his eyes, those seemingly dazzling flower rain dark swords were just children's play, and he could easily avoid them. Instead of retreating, he took a step forward, and his fingers gently slid across Zhao Shirong's cheek, leaving a touch of warmth, while whispering: "Li Chenzhou has never done this, because he has never truly appreciated your beauty."

After saying this, Song Tianen suddenly felt a stronger sword intent. This sword intent was not as direct and violent as before, but contained a kind of depth and tolerance, as if it could see into people's hearts and tolerate everything. He raised his hand gently, and there seemed to be a sound of sword chirping in the void. A long sword condensed by invisible sword energy slowly took shape, and the tip of the sword pointed at Zhao Shirong, but there was no killing intent, only an indescribable gentleness and firmness. The rain of flowers in the sky was immediately suppressed, and Zhao Shirong seemed unable to move.

"Arong, your sword is beautiful, but there seems to be too much restraint and struggle hidden in your heart. The sword is a symbol of freedom, why does it become a shackle that binds yourself in your hands?" Song Tianen's voice was gentle and powerful, and every word seemed to strike at Zhao Shirong's heart.

Zhao Shirong was stunned. Others saw her as the third on the power list, but she had too many ambitions in her heart that were as great as those of other men.

You have to know that she was a lady from a prominent official family. Logically, her destiny was to marry an official appointed by the court and become a mistress of a place.

But she devoted herself to the power gang and was with a man she didn't love.

I can only say that she has other plans!
That is to assimilate, absorb and infect Li Chenzhou, so that Li Chenzhou can be used by the court, recapture the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and rebuild China.

However she failed.

What kind of person is Li Chenzhou? He is a thoroughly utilitarian person, with only power and himself in his heart. He stood by and watched the fall of China 20 years later, and even his ambition grew and he wanted to rule the world.

Zhao Shirong thought the other party was a great hero, but in fact the other party was just a big bear.

(PS: In the novel version, Li Chenzhou did not save Yue Fei, which led to the failure of the Southern Song Dynasty's rejuvenation! After Zhao Shirong learned the news, she went to rescue Yue Fei in person. She met three masters known as the "Three Crown Kings of the Frontier" on the execution ground. In the end, Zhao Shirong was defeated by Qi Ershi and was raped and killed by Qi Ershi.)——
Zhao Shirong stood there in a daze, with complex emotions surging in her heart. She had never thought that a strange man could see through her heart so easily. Those hidden constraints and struggles were like being gently uncovered by an invisible force and exposed in broad daylight.

"You..." Zhao Shirong hesitated, her beautiful eyes flickering with complex expressions, with surprise, confusion, and a subtle touch of emotion. "Who are you? How can you see through my mind?"

Song Tianen smiled slightly, putting away the fierce sword intent, and the air around him seemed to soften. "Me? Just a passer-by. But, Arong, I believe that everyone has a sword domain in their heart, where the truest self is hidden. Your sword domain should not be bound by the shackles of the world."

Zhao Shirong was shocked when she heard this. She had never thought that someone would interpret her inner world in such a unique way. She looked at Song Tianen, whose deep eyes seemed to be able to see into people's hearts, and she couldn't help but want to confide in him.

"A passerby? Maybe. But you are a passerby more profoundly than many people." Zhao Shirong sighed softly, with a bit of helplessness and relief in her tone, "You are right, there are indeed too many constraints in my heart. But do you know? This is not what I want, but I have no choice."

Song Tianen nodded gently, showing his understanding. "I can't help myself. These four words contain too much helplessness. But Arong, I believe that as long as you have a sword in your heart, no matter what situation you are in, you can find your own freedom."

Zhao Shirong heard this, and a gleam flashed in her eyes, as if she was touched by Song Tianen's words. "Freedom? Yes, I thought that if I married Li Chenzhou, I could realize my ambition, but I didn't expect that this was just the beginning of another bondage."

"Whether you are bound or not depends entirely on your heart." Song Tianen smiled faintly, his tone full of wisdom and calmness, "Arong, your heart is sharper than the sword in your hand. As long as you are willing, nothing can bind you."

Zhao Shirong was silent for a moment, as if thinking about Song Tianen's words. Then, she slowly raised her head with a firm gaze. "You are right, my heart should not be bound. Perhaps, I should re-examine my life and find the freedom that truly belongs to me."

Seeing this, Song Tianen nodded secretly in his heart. He knew that this woman had extraordinary wisdom and courage. As long as she was willing, she would be able to break free and find her own world.

"Then, as a start to your search for freedom, why not prepare a delicious meal for me first?" Song Tianen smiled playfully, with a hint of ridicule in his tone, "After all, delicious food and beautiful women are both great enjoyments in life."

Zhao Shirong smiled when she heard this, with a sly look in her eyes. "Okay, then let me celebrate the enlightenment you, a passerby, have brought me with a delicious meal, as long as you are not afraid that I will poison your food."
