Over the next month, Hong Qigong had already imparted the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms to Guo Jing. Guo Jing had also lived up to his expectations. Although his progress had been a little slow, his power had not decreased. If he were to face Mao Chiren again, he would not need Yun Feng to scare him away. Guo Jing could defeat Mao Chiren alone.
As for Yang and Huang, they were also quite popular with Seventh Duke Hong. Seventh Duke Hong had also taught them some martial arts. The main reason was that the mischievous little Huang Rong wanted to have fun, so she asked Seventh Duke Hong to teach her. Under Bei Gui's guidance, Yang Kang's understanding of Quan Zhen Sect's martial arts had improved. Although her martial arts did not improve as fast as Guo Jing's, the authentic Taoist martial arts emphasized on gradual progress. She had gained quite a lot.
Little Huang Rong had been learning martial arts for fun, but she had also experienced the gentleness of her sister from Yang Kang. After being mischievous as a younger sister, she had the feeling of being tolerated by her sister. All of these made her like Yang Kang more and more. Although Guo Jing was silly, he cared about people. Sometimes, his methods were not very good, but he would do it silently. This made Huang Rong feel that this silly Brother Guo was actually quite good. After a month, Huang Rong had changed her address to Yang Kang as "Sister Kang" and Guo Jing as "Brother Jing".
Yun Feng was the only one who was depressed. Guo Jing wanted to practice martial arts, so the others couldn't see him or communicate with him. There were no scenic spots or historical sites to visit in Wuchang. Even if there was a month, he would be tired of it. He had no motivation to practice martial arts, nor was he interested in anything else. He could only wait for the sky to turn dark and dawn every day.
One day, Hong Qigong held a roast duck in his hand, but he did not immediately stuff it into his mouth. Instead, he looked at it with an extremely reluctant gaze, as if he was about to part with his beloved person. Yang Kang and Huang Rong looked at each other and asked in unison,"Seventh Duke, what's wrong? Isn't this roast duck delicious?"
Hong Qigong sighed." Three children. Qigong is leaving today. It will be difficult to be late for such delicious food in the future."”
Guo Jing finally reacted and asked,"Seventh Duke, why?" Yang Kang asked,"Qi Gong, is there anything wrong with Beggar's Sect?"”Huang Rong said,"Qigong, I still have a lot of dishes that you haven't tried yet!"”Yun Feng, that boring person, was thinking in his heart: " Seems like the boring days are over. Humans are just too greedy. Didn't they live like this for more than ten years in the desert? Now that he had been in Jiangnan for a while, he was not used to peaceful days. It was good that he left. He could continue to wander the martial world. Hehe, it was like watching a movie. He could not be too bored.'
Hong Qigong smiled and said," Silly child, all good things must come to an end. Qigong has never taught anyone martial arts for more than three days. It's already a great fate to be with you three kids for nearly two months." Moreover, Duke Qi had Beggar's Sect's affairs to deal with. Even if he interfered less, he could not just ignore everything. Moreover, your martial arts have improved a lot. It's time for you to go out and explore.”
Although what Hong Qigong said was right, after spending so much time together, he was still reluctant to leave the three of them. Guo Jing did not know how to speak, so he could only stand at the side and look at Hong Qigong anxiously. He did not know what to say. Yang Kang lowered his head and thought for a long time. He docilely said nothing and just prepared the dishes. Huang Rong tugged at Hong Qigong's sleeve and acted coquettishly. When she saw Yang Kang's actions, she curled her lips and turned around to ignore everyone.
"Alright, the old beggar is leaving." You kids have to be careful. The martial arts world is dangerous. Kang 'er, you're more careful. Rong 'er is smart and won't suffer any losses. Besides, with your father around, ordinary people won't dare to do anything to you. Jing 'er, although you are stupid, you are a person with your own opinions. Master is not very worried about these people. Your martial arts are the highest here, so you have to protect them well. The old beggar is gone!" Without waiting for the three of them to reply, he picked up the vegetable basket and flew away with his extreme qinggong.
Guo Jing kowtowed loudly in the direction Hong Qigong had flown off to. This silly boy only knew how to kowtow. Yang Kang hurriedly helped Guo Jing up and took a handkerchief to wipe the dust off Guo Jing's forehead. When Huang Rong heard that Hong Qigong was about to leave, she immediately turned around. However, she only saw the branches trembling. She paused and pouted, tears welling up in her eyes.
Hong Qigong's departure caused the three of them to be silent for a while. In the end, it was Yang Kang's gentle consolation that calmed Huang Rong down. When she heard that Guo and Yang were going north to the Central Capital, she, who was a child, also clamored to go with them. Guo Jing and the two women discussed for a while. Since they were not in a hurry, they took a boat along the Yangtze River towards the bride. Along the way, they admired the scenery on both sides of the Yangtze River and the magnificent scenery of the Three Gorge. They turned to Xiangyang and rode north.
Ancient people didn't have the concept of traveling."Parents don't travel far away." Generally, only a few poets left behind beautiful mountains and rivers. Some were demoted or assigned to be officials there (such as Ouyang Xiu, Su Shi, etc.), while others visited the mountains and rivers themselves (such as Xu Xiake). The four of them were intoxicated by the beautiful scenery on both sides of the Yangtze River. It was praised by the ancients in Xiangxi and Zigui. They were amazed by the wonders, beauty, and danger of the Three Gorge, especially when they crossed the Kongling Gorge. At that time, the big reef in the middle of the river had not been blown up, and the bamboo raft was extremely dangerous when it passed. It was worthy of the folk song that had been passed down for thousands of years,"Green Beach is not a beach, Kongling is the Gate of Hell." As Guo and Yang both grew up in the north and were not good at swimming, they might not be able to swallow fish and prawns in the sea under Huang Rong's guidance, but they could still swim in the Yangtze River.
In less than a day, everyone arrived at the ancient city guarding the border, Xiangyang! At this time, the guards of Xiangyang City were the Lu Wende brothers. To these two brothers, Lu Wende was a capable general but was jealous. Lu Wenhuan defended Xiangyang for five years without support and surrendered to the Mongolia. Later, he served the Mongolia to attack the Song Dynasty. He was not as incompetent as in the original novel.
Everyone found an inn to rest. At night, Yun Feng stopped Guo Jing, who was about to meditate and cultivate, and talked about current affairs and politics with him.
"Little Jing, do you know what kind of city Xiangyang is?”Yun Feng changed the topic. Obviously, he was talking to the wrong person. Guo Jing shook his head in confusion, wondering why Big Brother Yun would mention Xiangyang for no reason.
Yun Feng also knew what kind of person Guo Jing was, but he still had to say the opening words." Xiangyang is a place where there are four battles, and it's also a place where military strategists compete. If you get Xiangyang, you can look at the Central Plains in the north, Jingchu in the south, the land of abundance in the west, and the land of fish and rice in Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the east. Similarly, its terrain was flat and easy to attack but difficult to defend. Now that the Jin Dynasty was corrupt, they did not have the ability to take Xiangyang, let alone cross the river to attack Song. However, if a powerful country were to take Xiangyang in a flash, could the current Song Dynasty's civil and martial arts resist it?”
Guo Jing didn't understand military affairs, much less politics, but he knew about the corruption of the Song Dynasty, so he said worriedly,""Big brother, then wouldn't Great Song be in danger? Also, wasn't the Jin Kingdom in the north now? Just now, Big Brother said that the Jin Kingdom did not have the ability to attack our Great Song. Who could it be?”
Yun Feng changed the topic." Jing, although you haven't come into contact with the military, you've learned a lot from your Master Zhe Bie. You grew up in Temujin's military camp. How do you think Temujin's soldiers compare to the Song and Jin Dynasties?”
Guo Jing didn't understand why Yun Feng would ask such a question, but he still answered seriously,""Jing 'er doesn't know how the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom are like, but after looking at the few cities of the Song Dynasty, except for the soldiers of Xiangyang, even those in Lin' an City are not a match for the Great Khan.”
"Then can Tiemuzhen unify the grasslands?" Yun Feng asked.”Guo Jing replied," The Great Khan is the hero of the grasslands. Although Wang Han is powerful, he is no match for the Great Khan. The Great Khan has the Muhuali Borl Technique and also needs the help of Master Zhe Bie. Therefore, the Great Khan will definitely be able to unify the grasslands.”
"What if Tiemuzhen unites with the Song Kingdom to attack Jin after unifying the grassland?" Yun Feng sighed.”" That's for sure," Guo Jing said happily." The Great Khan has never liked the Jin Kingdom oppressing his people." If the Great Khan and the Great Song were to join forces, then there would be hope for them to recover the land.”
"Do you think Tie Muzhen is a man of his word?" Yun Feng changed the topic. In other words, would Tiemuzhen not attack a weak country for the sake of the alliance?”Guo Jing thought for a moment. Although he was busy practicing martial arts and rarely cared about the affairs of the tribe, sometimes when he chatted with Zhe Bie, he would talk about Tie Muzhen's character. Zhe Bie respected Tie Muzhen very much, but he also said that as a leader, Tie Muzhen would sometimes do things that did not conform to the heroes of the prairie. So he said in a deep voice,"I won't."
Yun Feng continued to guide." If Tiemu Zhen and Song join forces to attack Jin, it is impossible for Song to attack the north with their current military strength. At most, they will seal off Jin's economy. After Tiemu Zhen conquers Jin, will he stop and not be tempted by the Song Dynasty?"”Guo Jing was stunned. He didn't know what an economic blockade was, but he understood the other meaning. He said,"The Great Khan wouldn't do that. The Great Khan is a hero, he wouldn't do that!”
Yun Feng ignored Guo Jing's rebuttal." With Tie Muzhen's ambition and the strength of the Mongolian cavalrymen in the grassland, he attacked a fallen and defenseless Jin Kingdom. Then, he used the alliance agreement to deceive the Song Kingdom. After taking Xiangyang, the Song Kingdom would have no natural barrier to rely on. The Song Kingdom would not be far from being destroyed.”
He turned to look at Guo Jing." Little Jing, Big Brother is telling you this today because he wants you to think it through. In two years, Tiemuzhen will destroy Zha Muhe and Wang Han and unify the grasslands. At that time, he will send people to ally with Song to attack Jin. I know that you and Torrey are just friends, and I am grateful to Tiemuzhen for taking care of you and your son. However, you must know that it was Zhe Bie who asked Tiemuzhen to arrange for you and your son to enter the military camp. You saved Zhe Bie, so he took care of you. Ever since your master had a conflict with Tie Muzhen ten years ago, you and Tuolei have gradually lost contact. I'm afraid he gave up on the kindness of peace, so you don't have to bear any burden on the prairie! Do you know the origin of your name and Yang Kang's name?”
Guo Jing nodded. He had heard about the shame of Jingkang from his second master. He had also heard about the origin of the name from Yang Kang. Yun Feng said," It's useless to say anything now. You're not an official of the Song Dynasty, and you're not the Emperor of the Zhao Family. It's only two years. What Big Brother said will definitely happen. I hope you'll be prepared by then. Perhaps you'll leave Jianghu and leave your peaceful life to go to the battlefield! There was no need to rush or worry. Just remember what Yang said tonight.”
After saying that, Yun Feng patted Guo Jing's shoulder and said,"Go to sleep. We still have to travel tomorrow.”
Guo Jing nodded. Although he was lying on the bed, his eyes were still wide open. Did he really want to go against the Great Khan and Master Zhe Bie? Why can't everyone be happy together? Why did they like to fight so much? And why is big brother telling me this? Do I really have to go to the battlefield?
