At the beginning of July, in Taihu Water Village, the night breeze was blowing and the stars were dotted.
"Second Senior Brother, are you too cruel? I am your own junior brother. In front of 'Second Senior Brother' here, you don't know how to save some face for me."
In a courtyard of Shuizhai, Feng Ge was lying on the ground, pretending to be a dead dog and unwilling to get up.
Guo Mo was already sitting at a stone table. There were several side dishes on the small stone table, and a jar of Yixing's local specialty, "Dongpo Red", was placed on the floor.
Huang Rong was also sitting nearby. Originally she was going to leave, but Guo Mo stayed behind.
"Fourth Junior Brother, in the past year or so, you have been mostly in the army. With all your hard work, you have not made much progress. I'm afraid you are no match for Fifth Junior Brother now?"
Indeed, for more than a year, Feng Ge trained in the army with his third master, "Horse King God" Han Baoju.
Most of them rush to kill immediately, but rarely practice the skills of Jianghu people.
But the fifth junior brother Ye Qu is different. As the leader of the village protection team of "Seven Sages Village", and with "Yue Nv Sword" Han Xiaoying supervising him, he is very likely to surpass Feng Ge.
Seeing the fourth junior brother's face turning red and white, Guo Mo had no scruples.
"Come and sit down. Let's have a couple of drinks. I'll take this opportunity to tell you something."
Sure enough, Guo Mo had something to explain.
Seeing that there was serious business, Feng Ge didn't dare to smile playfully anymore. He stood up from the ground and sat on the opposite side in a dignified manner.
"Fourth Brother, you have been in the Mongolian army for several years. You have also served in the army of the Song Dynasty before. You have had conflicts with the Jin people recently, right? I have a few questions to ask you."
"The first question is, if you compare them, with the same number of armies, which of the three is stronger and which is weaker?"
Feng Ge was stunned when he heard his second senior brother asked about this.
He knew that this second senior brother was keen on martial arts and could be said to be a martial arts wizard, but he had never been interested in military affairs. Why did he suddenly ask about this tonight?
"Second Senior Brother, from my point of view, if these three families are to be ranked in order, Mongolia must be the strongest, followed by the Jin Kingdom, and finally the Song Dynasty."
Although I don't know why the second senior brother asked, Feng Ge still answered seriously.
Guo Mo did not comment, and slowly poured a bowl of "Dongpo Red" for both of them. He picked up the wine bowl and gave a slight gesture, and the two started to drink.
"Fourth Junior Brother, since the Mongolian army is stronger than the Jin Kingdom, why do you have to go all the way to find the weakest Song Dynasty to form an alliance to defeat the Jin Kingdom?"
"This..." Feng Ge didn't know how to answer and looked at Guo Mo blankly.
"Fourth Junior Brother, what I said tonight, after you go out, you must not say it to others easily."
"In the desert, except for a few masters and the fifth junior brother, you can't trust anyone completely."
Feng Ge was confused. He felt that the second senior brother tonight seemed particularly strange, but since the senior brother said this, he had no choice but to nod in agreement.
"Fourth Junior Brother, as for the second question, if Song and Meng join forces to destroy the Jin Kingdom, what will the Song Dynasty gain?"
"Second Senior Brother, I know this. 'Genghis Khan' promised that once the Jin Kingdom is destroyed, the previously occupied Jin Kingdom..."
Feng Ge wanted to continue, but Guo Mo stopped him with a wave of his hand.
"Fourth Junior Brother, a promise is a promise. The mountains and cities that the Mongolian army gained through fighting are to be given to Song Ting in vain?"
"If you were the general leading the team, would you be willing to give up everything your brothers have gained with their lives and blood?"
"Of course I don't want to!"
Feng Ge blurted out, and when he finished speaking, he was frightened by his own judgment.
Guo Mo smiled and continued.
"Fourth Junior Brother, let me ask you a third question. If the Jin Kingdom is destroyed and Mongolia sees that the Song Dynasty is so weak, will they stop moving south?"
"What?"
Feng Ge suddenly stood up, opened his eyes wide, and looked at Guo Mo in disbelief.
He was frightened by Guo Mo's whimsical idea, but if he thought about it carefully, was this really just "whimsical"?
I would like to ask, as a general leading troops and an ambitious politician, after defeating a strong opponent and discovering that there is a weaker opponent not far away, will you let him go?
"Fourth Junior Brother, can I trust you?"
Suddenly, Feng Ge suddenly knelt on the ground and looked firmly into Guo Mo's eyes: "Second Senior Brother, tell me, what do you want me to do?"
Guo Mo stepped forward, helped Feng Ge up, and sat down opposite him.
"In my opinion, it has been impossible for Mongolia to attack the Jin Kingdom in recent years. The Jin Kingdom is still the most powerful country. The strength of a country does not just depend on its military strength."
"Mongolia must first destroy Xixia in the west and Goryeo in the east before they can attack the Jin Kingdom."
"The purpose of uniting with the Song Dynasty now is just to let the Song Dynasty contain the Jin Kingdom for it, so that we can consume each other."
"Your army in Mongolia should take advantage of your position to accumulate money, food and materials. Secretly contact the Seven Sages Village with whatever you get, and someone will take care of it."
"You also need to train more people in the army who you can trust. It is best if they are all Han Chinese who have fled north."
"'People who are not of my race will have different minds.' The ancients are honest and don't deceive me. Remember not to make too much noise, just do it step by step."
"At the same time, tell the third master, fifth master, seventh master and junior brother Ye Qu this idea at the appropriate time. As for your third senior sister, it's up to you to decide what to do."
The "Third Senior Sister" is Hua Zheng, the wife of the eldest brother Guo Jing and the daughter of "Genghis Khan".
Feng Ge listened carefully. The second senior brother actually considered these things so profoundly that he had never thought about before.
"Second senior brother, do you want to..."
"I didn't think too much about it. I just wanted to have enough preparation and strength to protect the people I wanted to protect. I didn't want to see the relatives, friends, and subordinates I care about get hurt."
Guo Mo said calmly, Feng Ge was silent, and Huang Rong thought more. With all the people in the house, would An have finished her eggs?
"Fourth Junior Brother, Ronger, that's all I have to say today. I still need to think more about many things, what should be done and what should not be done."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "When you leave tomorrow, wait for me. There are some things you can bring back to the Seven Sages Manor for me."
Lying on the bed, Feng Ge's heart felt like grass had grown, and he couldn't fall asleep until the sky was getting brighter, and he fell asleep for a while.
At dawn the next day, everyone had finished washing and went to the front hall to have dinner.
After everyone had breakfast, they all packed up. In addition to the three Tuo Lei, there were also six sergeants accompanying them. Because they had to pass through the territory of the Kingdom of Jin, it was safer to have fewer people.
At this time, Guo Mo and Huang Rong came in from outside.
"Master Zhebie, Tuo Leanda, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Guo Mo said hello to everyone first.
"Master Zhebie, here is a thousand taels of silver note. Please take it. We have to walk for a while on the road. People eat horse chews. Please consider me a little favor."
Zhebie reached out and took it. Zhebie was a typical Mongolian, upright and forthright, so of course he accepted what his apprentice gave him.
"Tole Anda, I didn't have anything decent to give you during your last wedding. I got a new knife not long ago, and it looks pretty good. You happen to be a knife user, so I'll make a weapon for you."
As he spoke, he took out a long baggage from his back, opened it, and revealed a knife inside.
Tuo Lei raised his hand and picked it up, weighed it, and found it just right.
With a press of the spring, there was a "cang" sound, and the sword was pulled out of the scabbard, and several cold lights flashed in front of everyone's eyes.
Tuo Lei turned his hand over, with the tip of the knife facing up, and saw Leng Sensen's blade. A few strands of hair on his forehead touched the blade and fell to the ground instantly.
"Good sword, Guo Mo'anda, I'll bear it for my brother. Haha, someday I'll go back to the desert and go to my brother's place. I'll keep a few jars of fine wine for you."
Tuo Lei returns the sword to its sheath, I can't put it down.
This is what Guo Mo got by chance when he was wiping out a mountain stronghold. Today, he can be regarded as being generous to others.
"Second Senior Brother, do you have a gift for me?"
Feng Ge was jealous when he saw that Tuo Lei had acquired a good knife.
"You..." Guo Mo didn't even know what to say to this junior brother.
At this time, Huang Rong walked up and said with a blushing face: "Fourth...Fourth Junior Brother, this is a pair of pure gold 'Longevity Lock'. Please take it to 'Seven Sages Manor'. This is for Brother Guo's child."
of."
"I understand, 'Second Master Sister-in-law', don't worry, I will definitely bring it to you." Feng Ge happily took it.
"Fourth, I have something to bring to some masters. Here is a letter. You must hand it to Master Seven personally. After she reads the letter, she will know what to do."
Then, he took out a letter he had just written from his arms and a five-pound wine jar.
"The thing is this specially made medicinal wine. Several masters can use it. You must deliver it safely."
It turned out that Guo Mo and the others went to the shop early in the morning, divided the brewed "snake gall wine" into two pieces, and divided the snake gall into six pieces. They wrote clearly in the letter that they were addressed to the three masters and sealed.
Ge, Ye Qu and Hua Zheng.
How to use it, what reactions it has, how effective it is, etc., are all clearly written.
He planned to leave the other four to the other four masters, but he didn't know when they would see them.
Finally, Guo Mo thought again and took off his "Leng Ye" sword.
He touched the sword gently, with a look of reluctance.
"Master Zhebie, you gave this sword to me on my fourteenth birthday. It's been five years. Now I want to give it to my fourth junior brother. Do you mind?"
"Haha, Mo'er, what I give to you is your own. Why should I mind? This guy Feng Ge has put in so much effort and has really made no progress in the past two years."
Seeing that Guo Mo wanted to give the "Lengye" sword to Feng Ge, Zhebie understood his intention.
"Second Senior Brother, are you really willing to give me Leng Ye?"
Feng Ge has coveted Guo Mo's sword for more than a day or two. When he was learning martial arts at "Qixianzhuang", he often used it as a "training prop".
At that time, he hadn't practiced the "Seven Desert Styles" yet, so he couldn't use them in actual combat, but now he can just use them.
"It's an advantage for you, kid, take it." Guo Mo threw it to Feng Ge.
No matter how much you say, there will be a time when you have finished saying it. No matter how good a friend is, he still has to leave.
Watching Zhebie and the others gradually go away, Guo Mo could not help but feel a little sad.
I don’t know what year and month we will see each other next time?
I don’t know if we meet again next time, will we be friends or enemies?
