Seeing Yang Tiexin's pale face, Guo Mo hurriedly walked forward, supported him with both hands, and sat down on the chair.
Then, he hurriedly injected a burst of "Nine Yang Qi" and explored Yang Tiexin's body.
Fortunately, he only suffered some ordinary injuries, and his meridians and internal organs were not damaged.
Guo Mo took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket, poured out a "Jiuhua Jade Dew Pill", asked Yang Tiexin to take it, and once again mobilized the "Nine Yang Qi" to help him spread the effect of the medicine.
"Uncle Yang, I have already heard from the girl from the Mu family about Guo'er. I also helped her heal her injuries. Because the injuries were serious, she could only stay in 'Peach Blossom Island' to recuperate for a few days.
"
"Do you want to go to 'Peach Blossom Island' too? Those people may come back at any time. You'd better not live here again before you're sure they've left the Song Dynasty."
Guo Mo remembered that in another dimension, the other party did return to Niujia Village after coming out of the palace, so he tried his best to persuade Yang Tiexin to temporarily move to "Peach Blossom Island".
"Mo'er, please stop talking. If they come back again, let that beast kill me with his own hands."
It seems that Wanyankang's performance this time has completely broken Yang Tiexin's heart.
"Um...Uncle Yang, I mean if, if Akang falls into my hands, what do you want me to do to him?"
Guo Mo asked tentatively. Guo Mo had not yet made up his mind about how to deal with Wan Yankang. He was mainly concerned about the feelings of Yang Tiexin, Mu Nianci, and even Yang Guo in the future.
Since he has accepted Yang Guo as his disciple, he has to care about his disciple's growth, and his psychological growth is also very important.
Children will always grow up. If you really ask about your father, you have to have a suitable explanation. But Guo Mo doesn't want Wan Yankang to die in his own hands.
"Mo'er, if you really catch that little beast who forgets his ancestors and considers a thief as his father, just... directly..."
Yang Tiexin tried to "directly" twice, but failed to say the words "kill him". Instead, he shed tears.
Guo Mo didn't continue to ask. Blood is thicker than water. In many cases, a son may be disobedient, but a father is completely "stupid".
"Well, Uncle Yang, we can't stay in this place for the time being. If you don't want to go to 'Peach Blossom Island', just follow me into 'Lin'an' city."
"Stay in Lin'an City for the time being, so that you can know the news as soon as possible."
After calming down, Yang Tiexin also knew that there might be danger if he continued to stay in Niujia Village.
Even if he is not afraid of danger, he will still become a fetter for Guo Mo. Don't wait until he saves Yang Guo in the end and then involves himself again. This will still cause trouble for Guo Mo.
"Okay, Mo'er, uncle will listen to your arrangement and follow you into Lin'an City."
Yang Tiexin also had a horse in his home, which he used daily to pull carts and carry goods. He could barely ride it. Fortunately, the city of "Lin'an" was not too far away.
Yang Tiexin finished packing, brought a few changes of clothes, locked the door, and followed Guo Mo into "Lin'an" city.
The "Sanyuan Building" target was too conspicuous, and there were so many people coming in and out all day long, so Guo Mo didn't take Yang Tiexin there.
Not too far from the West Lake, they arrived at a relatively remote neighborhood, and the two of them came to an inconspicuous black gate.
Guo Mo got off the horse, led it forward, and gently knocked on the door knocker.
"Bangbang-bangbangbang-"
"Bangbang-bangbangbang-"
There were three long and two short knocks on the door, but not very long, and the sound of footsteps was heard inside the door.
"Squeaky-"
The door was opened a small crack, and a man dressed as a servant poked his head out and saw two people standing at the door.
"Oh, my uncle is here."
When the man saw Guo Mo, he hurriedly opened the door, came over and took Guo Mo's reins.
Guo Mo looked familiar to this person, but didn't recognize him. From his tone, he should be someone trained by "Peach Blossom Island".
Guo Mo also asked Yang Tiexin to dismount, and the two of them entered the doorway. The man went out to take a look again, and found nothing abnormal before closing the door again.
"Little Feng Qi is here to pay homage to my uncle. Are you here to see the Four Heroes of the South? Follow me and invite you in."
It turns out that after "Nanshan Woodcutter" Nan Xiren followed Lu Chengfeng to "Lin'an", the two of them bought a yard in the east and west of "Lin'an" city respectively for residence and daily communication.
In addition, Lu Chengfeng has a serious official status as the "Ti Dian Imperial City Secretary" and has a simple office space, with Nancy Ren as his deputy.
From among the bankers of "Guiyun Village", we selected about ten people and set up the show first.
The courtyard is not big. There are only two entrances to the courtyard. In addition to the upper room, there are also two rows of side rooms on the left and right.
It has been arranged according to future needs. While it is used for working and handling daily affairs, it has been completely transformed into a bedroom that can accommodate more than a dozen people.
There is also a smaller backyard, where a few horses can be tied, and a small door is opened for daily access or in case of emergencies.
At this time, Nancy Ren, the "Nanshan Woodcutter" who heard the commotion, had also walked out of the house.
"Mo'er...Brother Yang, why are you here? Please come to the house quickly."
Feng Qi led the two horses to the backyard, served tea to several people, and then went down.
"Mo'er, I heard that Ronger is pregnant? Okay, your eldest brother's child is already over two years old, and it's time for you to have a child."
After chatting for a while, Nan Xiren saw that Yang Tiexin's face looked bad and knew something was going on.
"Mo'er, what happened? Logically speaking, at this time, you should be preparing for the 'Martial Arts Examination' on Peach Blossom Island, right?"
"Fourth Master, something happened."
Guo Mo didn't hide anything and introduced what happened in Niujia Village in detail.
"Is this happening? We have just started here, and the news didn't come in time."
"I received the news this morning. It seems that someone broke into the palace the night before yesterday. The specific situation is not clear yet. Do you want me to go to the 'Sanyuan Building'?"
Guo Mo thought for a while and felt that asking for information at "Sanyuan Building" would not be too detailed, so he might as well go directly to the palace.
I have been to "Lin'an" several times, but Guo Mo has never been to that special place in the south of the city.
"Fourth Master, I'd better ask for the news myself. Niujiacun can't go back for the time being. I want Uncle Yang to stay with you for a while. If there is any news about Guo'er, he can know it in time."
Nan Xiren is good at everything, and he and Yang Tiexin are old acquaintances.
We set off from "Peach Blossom Island" early in the morning, first arrived at Niujia Village, and then entered "Lin'an" without stopping. It was almost time for dinner.
Guo Mo suddenly had an idea and wanted to taste the imperial dining room.
"Uncle Yang, please feel free to stay here with the Fourth Master. I will have someone come and notify you as soon as there is any news."
"Fourth Master, Uncle Yang is still injured. Please take care of him. He hasn't eaten all day, so just arrange dinner. I'll leave first."
"Mo'er, you won't leave until you have eaten?" Nancy Ren was a little surprised.
"Haha, Fourth Master, this is already at the door of 'home'. I have to go back and see if I can have a good meal."
Guo Mo spoke very cryptically, but Nan Xiren understood what he meant and laughed.
"Haha, what Mo'er said is true, then I won't let you eat as a teacher, so be careful. Brother Yang is here with me, so don't worry. If you need anything to do for me as a teacher, you can come to me at any time."
Guo Mo didn't ride the yellow gelding either, so he kept it with Nancy Ren for the time being and quietly went out through the small door in the backyard.
I have been to "Lin'an" twice and have some understanding of the basic streets.
Guo Mo went directly to Tianjie Imperial Road and headed south.
At this time, it was not completely dark yet, so it was obviously impossible to enter through the "Li Zhengmen" unless he was willing to show the gold medal of "I am here in person".
He walked a short distance to the right and came to a place where the palace wall was relatively high. He knew that the higher the palace wall was, the looser the patrol posts would be.
What's more, if there were any night travelers at this hour, no one would choose this time to come.
The palace wall here was more than three feet high. When Guo Mo saw that there was no one around him, he jumped up with a "Golden Wild Goose Skill".
Now that Guo Mo has used the "Golden Wild Goose Kung" again, he is no longer what he used to be. He suddenly jumped up to two feet tall.
He pressed his hands lightly on the palace wall, used his strength again, and with a strong effort in the air, he jumped up to the top of the wall.
Looking down and seeing no one around, he floated and landed in the palace courtyard.
According to Guo Mo's judgment, Emperor Ningzong was most likely in Qinzheng Hall or Funing Hall at this time, both of which were his sleeping quarters.
Identify the direction and head towards Funing Hall first.
Although it was his first time here, Guo Mo, who was in the Chinese department in his previous life, liked to study these things, and he still had some understanding of the topographic maps of the palaces of several dynasties.
On the road, we dodged several groups of soldiers patrolling at night, and saw a place in the distance.
No matter how far away he was, Guo Mo could feel that there were more than a dozen Anbu guards around him.
From the inner aura of the other party, one could tell that he was definitely not a mediocre person. It seemed that this was the place. He used his eyesight enough to take a look at the plaque "Fu Ning Hall".
He restrained his breath, used the "Lingbo Weibu" movement technique, and with a few steps, he arrived at the entrance of Funing Hall, opened the curtain and walked in.
"Old fellow, do you think my palace can be entered and exited by others at will? It's been two days, and not one of those people from the night before has been caught?"
Emperor Ningzong was sitting behind the desk, holding a secret letter in his hand, complaining about the old eunuch.
"Everyone, we can't completely blame the children below. The people coming here this time are actually too powerful. The one whose identity is known now is the 'Western Poison' Ouyang Feng, who is the most troublesome."
"The skills of the other two masked men are not inferior to him, judging by this old slave. If they hadn't seemed to be looking for something and were unwilling to fight, our casualties would have been more serious."
"However, this time it is not completely without gain. We only lost one of the masters here, and Shi... the first-class masters over there lost four."
"As for the people who broke into the palace, we also killed one of them. Now the identity has been confirmed. This person is called the 'Dragon King of Ghost Gate' Sha Tongtian. He is the leader of the 'Yellow River Gang' in the north and one of the five major enshrinements of Prince Zhao's Mansion in the Kingdom of Jin.
.”
"I have to take advantage of this opportunity to gain more power from the 'Imperial City Division'. Everyone, it's getting late, so you'd better pass on the food."
The old eunuch seemed to be a little gloating about his misfortune.
"You're a worthless old guy. He's incompetent, but he still laughs at others. We must strengthen our defenses. I don't want to see anyone being able to enter and leave the palace at will."
"Everyone, don't worry. The palace is now impregnable. The old slave has densely packed more than a dozen guards around the 'Funing Palace'. They are all masters. They are definitely not even a bird... Hey,
I--"
The old eunuch was making a vow to Emperor Ning Zong when the light in front of his eyes dimmed and he realized that there was a man standing two steps away from the desk, looking at him with a smile.
"I...I-"
The old eunuch opened his mouth several times, but no words came out.
He said in his heart, "My young master, you are really my biological grandfather. Aren't you just slapping this old slave in the face? You guys with strong martial arts skills are too much of a bully, aren't you?"
"Old man, what's wrong? You...Mo'er——"
Hearing the old eunuch standing next to him hemming and hawing, Emperor Ning Zong couldn't help but be a little surprised. He looked up and saw Guo Mo's smiling face.
"Mo'er, why are you here in the palace? What's the matter? Have you eaten? Old man, hurry up, let someone pass the food around and bring more. Haha——"
Emperor Ningzong was overjoyed when he suddenly saw Guo Mo coming to the palace. He didn't bother to quarrel with the old eunuch anymore and kept urging him to pass on the food.
"Hey, as soon as I saw this young master, our official forgot everything..."
Not long after, a large table full of dishes was laid out.
"Your Highness King Yan, the official family is very frugal on weekdays, and they have never been so extravagant during the New Year. You are here..."
"You old man, how can you talk so much? Do you also want to imitate those censors and give advice?"
Guo Mo was also rude. He hadn't eaten or drank all day, so he was really hungry. He opened his cheeks and opened his back molars, feeling like a storm.
The old eunuch looked at him and said to himself, "Master, how long has it been since you last eaten?"
Emperor Ningzong always looked at it with a smile. He lived in the deep palace all day long. Where could he see such a scene of eating.
Watching your son eat, the more he eats, the happier he is as a parent. This seems to be an eternal truth.
Emperor Ningzong didn't eat much, but Guo Mo ate all the way to the trench, and finally drank two more bowls of royal wine before he burped with satisfaction.
"Mo'er, when you came to the palace today, you just wanted to have a meal at daddy's place, right?"
Seeing that Guo Mo was almost done eating, Emperor Ning Zong asked.
Guo Mo didn't hide anything, so he told what happened in Niujia Village and expressed that he wanted to find out if there was any news about these people.
"Your Highness King Yan, you are here by chance. The latest news from the Imperial City Division has just been sent. This group of people went their separate ways after leaving Lin'an."
"Two people went to the southwest, and the remaining few people went north, probably returning to the Kingdom of Jin. They broke into the palace the night before and left a body behind, which was identified as Sha Tongtian, the 'Dragon King of the Ghost Gate'.
"
"Therefore, we conclude that they are from the Zhao Palace of the Jin Kingdom. According to their footsteps, they will arrive in Jiaxing tomorrow and leave the Song Dynasty as soon as the day after."
As the old eunuch spoke, he took out a secret report from his sleeve and handed it to Guo Mo.
Guo Mo opened it and looked at it carefully.
"There is no mention of a one-year-old child in these news. I wonder if there is any other news?"
"A one-year-old child? I've never heard of it. But there are only two people and two fast horses heading southwest. If there are children, they should take the Jiaxing road."
Guo Mo felt that the old eunuch's analysis was reasonable, so he thought about leaving and chased northward all night.
"Mo'er, why bother? Sit down and talk to daddy for a while."
"Old guy, you go find a six-hundred-mile express arrow. Let Mo'er hold it for a while, and you can change horses at various stations along the way."
The old eunuch knew that Emperor Ning Zong wanted to send him out because he and his son had private matters to talk about.
"Dad, do you have something to say?"
"Mo'er, what are your plans to participate in the 'Martial Arts Examination' this time?"
Originally I wanted to ask this question. Now that it has been brought up, Guo Mo also wants to have a clear understanding with Emperor Ning Zong. Although things cannot be settled overnight, he still has to move forward.
"Dad, the Song Dynasty is currently suffering from internal and external troubles, treacherous ministers are in power, and civil and military imbalances. The Kingdom of Jin is invading outside, and the Song Dynasty has hundreds of millions of assets, but it is just a piece of fat in the eyes of others."
"If we want to revive Taizu's glory, we can only use martial arts to rejuvenate the country and have a strong army. In fact, the Song Dynasty has no shortage of people who can and dare to fight. This 'martial arts' test, my son just wants to find a few
Someone who can take on big responsibilities.”
"Those who are suitable for the army will be incorporated into the elite army, and those who are not suitable for the army will be incorporated into the 'Imperial City Division'."
"Now doesn't Mongolia want to unite with us to deal with the Jin Kingdom? We might as well take this opportunity to get some war horses from the Mongols as much as possible, even if it means buying them with money."
"The Jin people also have a lot of cavalry. If we want our Song Dynasty to attack the Jin people, we can't let our infantry attack, right?"
"The battle against the Jin Kingdom will also focus on military training. Everything will depend on the Mongols' situation. If the Mongols attack quickly, we will take our time. If the Mongols are frustrated, we will take the opportunity to seize the Jin Kingdom's territory south of the Yellow River.
.”
"Don't be greedy for big money. If you seize a state, you must stabilize it. Try to get as many war horses as possible from the people of the Jin Kingdom."
"As for the DPRK, let the 'Imperial City Division' do their best to search for conclusive evidence of the crimes of Shi Miyuan's party, and cut them off one by one, starting with his party members."
"If you identify a target, create public opinion among the people first, and let those political opponents in the DPRK who have long history expose it. Dad can mediate it."
"Let Shi Miyuan go and 'save the carriage to protect the commander' in the end. Once the seat becomes vacant, dad will try his best to arrange for his own people to sit on it, even neutral people."
...
Guo Mo described to Ning Zong several scenes of diplomacy and power struggles. Ning Zong looked at Guo Mo blankly in front of him. He felt that his "suggestions" were a bit unworthy, but they seemed to be good.
use.
"Well, dad, you can try these tricks first. Don't worry internally, but be careful when dealing with the Mongols externally. This is a beast that is more ferocious than the Jin people."
"His Royal Highness King Yan, the arrows are ready for you."
At this time, the old eunuch came back with a command arrow in his hand. He got it through normal channels and under the banner of "Imperial City Division", it would not attract anyone's attention.
"Dad, my son will leave now. You can think about what you just said. Your son will come to see you when you have time."
Guo Mo took the command arrow, walked out of Funing Palace, and disappeared into the night.
"Everyone, His Highness King Yan has left."
Looking at Emperor Ning Zong who was still stunned, the old eunuch couldn't help but remind him.
"Old man, what kind of person do you think this Xiao Qi is?"
