No matter how stupid Guo Mo is, he can still hear the strangeness in it, not to mention that he is an extremely smart person.
But what he couldn't figure out was how he got involved?
He stared at Elder Shi Ming in front of him, but his mind was rapidly recalling everything that happened after he met An Ling'er...
Could it be the last time when he used the "Nine Yang Magic" to remove the "Golden Cicada Poison" from An Ling'er?
When martial arts has reached Guo Mo's level, even if he is asleep, he will be subconsciously alert to what is happening around him.
That time alone, when I removed the "Golden Cicada Poison" for An Ling'er, I exhausted the "Nine Yang Qi" and passed out, completely unconscious.
At that time, out of unfamiliarity and "awe" of "Golden Cicada Poison", Guo Mo thought that it might be too domineering, so it was as powerful as the "Nine Yang Divine Art" and would be like that.
Now, seeing the results in front of me, it is still unclear that I am being "calculated" by someone.
"Why?"
Guo Mo stared at Shi Ming helplessly, full of confusion and even resentment.
"Hey, Guo Dutong, it's hard to describe in just one word——"
At this point, there is no point in hiding it.
Shi Ming could tell that although Guo Mo looked harmless to humans and animals, he was full of pride and stubbornness in his bones.
As for Guo Mo's attitude and feelings towards Huang Rong, they could see it more than two years ago.
Now, if a lot of things are dealt with at the same time, it is possible that the entire Shuixi'an clan, and even the "Luo clan ghost country", will fall into an irreversible situation.
Shi Ming is not a fool. Guo Mo's own unpredictable martial arts has already made it impossible for him to have the courage to resist.
During this trip to the Song Dynasty, especially at the "Daqing Hall", Shi Ming could also feel the attitude of the officials of the Song Dynasty and Guo Mo's influence and energy in the Song Dynasty.
There was no concealment, no evasion or exaggeration. Shi Ming just told the story exactly as it happened.
There were four people in "Lingqing Pavilion". Shi Ming was narrating the plot of the year. Guo Mo and Huang Rong were listening attentively.
"Nanshan Woodcutter" Nancy Ren was the most embarrassed to sit next to.
He originally came to see Guo Mo for business, and it just so happened that the officials asked him to bring this envoy from the "Luo Family Ghost Country" with him. He was also a friend of Guo Mo and the others, so Nanxi Ren readily agreed.
I just met Guo Mo, and I haven’t even talked about him yet, but I heard such incredible things.
He is Guo Mo's master. As an elder, he doesn't know how to get involved, especially when Guo Mo is already married and has children.
Nan Xiren wished that she had never known about this matter, at least if she hadn't heard it on the spot, she wouldn't have been so embarrassed.
In the whole thing, no one seemed to make a mistake.
For the sake of Ander's daughter's life, Lan Ze and Shi Ming were also eager to protect him, but what about An Ling'er?
From Shi Ming's narration, who can't tell that she is not only a desire to live, but also reveals a young girl's appreciation and love for Guo Mo.
"Ansmo—"
The crux of it all comes down to giving birth to a child, a child named "Simo".
But is the child at fault?
The taste is self-evident.
Shi Ming had finished speaking, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He is not only the envoy of the "Luo Family Ghost Country", and not only because Guo Mo once saved his life, but more importantly, Shi Ming single-handedly raised An Ling'er.
Deep down in his heart, this slightly rough middle-aged man really "feels sorry" for An Ling'er.
In the past, I felt "heartbroken" for An Ling'er's "golden cicada poison", but now I feel even more "heartbroken" for An Ling'er, who is alone with her child and cannot speak openly to others.
It was quiet inside "Lingqing Pavilion", and few people didn't know what to say.
Guo Mo even felt that all this was a bit "ridiculous", and such a "ridiculous" thing happened to him.
He didn't look back, for fear of seeing Huang Rong's current state.
He didn't know how to reply to Shi Ming, and he didn't even dare to look at the expectation in the other person's eyes.
"Sister Ling'er is a poor person, you should have found her earlier."
Huang Rong's voice came from behind, and it was a bit terrifyingly calm.
"Rong'er, I..."
Guo Mo didn't know what to say, but he felt that he should say something.
"Brother Mo, I understand the whole thing. I know that you can't help yourself. If you want to blame it, just blame fate. How do you plan to arrange their mother and son?"
Huang Rong asked, Guo Mo couldn't capture any information from her face.
"Guo Dutong, Miss Huang, the intention of my country's leader is to hope that the 'Luo Ghost Kingdom' can be attached to the Song Dynasty."
"The child's surname will always be An, and he will also be the leader of the 'Luoshi Ghost Kingdom' in the future. I hope Guo Dutong can fulfill his wish."
Understand, the intention of Shi Ming or "Luo's Ghost Country" is very clear, personal feelings must eventually give in to the interests of the country.
Guo Mo felt a little disappointed. Is this a "political marriage"?
To be honest, Guo Mo has no feelings for An Ling'er at all. Even Guo Mo now can't clearly recall An Ling'er's appearance.
However, she is considered his own woman, and she also gave birth to a son of her own.
"Elder Shi, this matter is indeed a bit surprising to me. For the moment, Guo cannot promise you anything."
"Guo will do his best to deal with what the 'Luo Family Ghost Kingdom' wants from the Song Dynasty. Elder Shi can rest assured."
"If you want to deepen the exchanges between the two countries, whether it is bilateral trade or exchange for food and cloth, you can even send people to Lin'an to study. The Song Dynasty can also send people there to guide you in farming."
"If a foreign enemy invades the 'Luo Family Ghost Country', the Song Dynasty will send troops to protect it. Guo will also report this to the officials one by one, and they should all give approval."
Shi Ming listened blankly. He didn't expect Guo Mo to promise so much. The question is, will his promise work?
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Guo Mo seemed to see Shi Ming's doubts, reached out and took out the gold medal that said "I am here in person" from his arms, and smiled.
"To be honest, my real name is 'Zhao Hao', and I am the 'King of Yan' in the Song Dynasty, so Elder Shi can completely believe me when I make these promises."
"However, Elder Shi should not let too many people know about my identity for the time being. When the time comes, it will naturally come to light."
"What?" Shi Ming was completely shocked.
Before coming to Lin'an, Shi Ming had done some homework, and he had some understanding of the changes in the Song Dynasty's ruling and opposition parties in recent years.
"Dunwu Army" Guo Mo and His Highness "Yan Wang" are both extremely prominent figures among them.
Unexpectedly, these two people turned out to be the same person, and they were also people closely connected with his "Luo Family Ghost Country".
Shi Ming thought for a moment and felt that there might be a bigger secret here, but the greater Guo Mo's energy, the more support his "Luo Family Ghost Country" would naturally get.
"Don't worry, Guo Dutong, Shi Ming knows the depth. Apart from the king and Princess Ling'er, if Shi Ming reveals Dutong's identity to a fourth person, he will be burned to death by 'thousands of poisons.'"
In order to show his determination, Shi Ming actually swore such a poisonous oath.
Guo Mo didn't stop him either. Everyone turned the topic to the interests of the two countries and unconsciously downplayed their personal emotions.
Guo Mo didn't know whether to be grateful or laugh at his "indifference".
Everyone seems to be avoiding it intentionally, or this way of dealing with it is the best at hand.
"Shijie, are you outside?"
Guo Mo called out to "Lingqing Pavilion".
"Master, what are your orders?"
Zhang Shijie heard Guo Mo's call and hurriedly entered the hall.
"Go to the 'Yu Ying Hall' and get a copy of the 'Seven Styles of the Desert' exercises and a complete set of the 'Morning Sun and Sunset Palm' secret books from the bookshelf."
After Zhang Shijie heard this, he turned around and left.
"Elder Shi, the person who just left is my eldest disciple. This time you bring back two secret books, which can be regarded as a gift from me to the child. After he turns six years old, I will send someone to enlighten him."
"After you go back, you can ask Lord An if he is willing to send an army over. It doesn't need to be too many, just five thousand soldiers, aged between eighteen and twenty-five."
"I will train them strictly and take them to the battlefield with them. After two years, I will arrange for two thousand of them to go back and serve as the child's personal guard."
Guo Mo said leisurely that by pursuing his own affairs in his position, he wanted to bind the two countries more tightly, which could be regarded as taking into account both public and private matters.
In fact, Guo Mo has already thought about asking the Fourth Master to arrange and develop the people from the "Imperial City Division" into the "Luo Family Ghost Country".
"Shi will definitely bring Guo Dutong's words. I believe that the leader of our country will not let Guo Dutong down."
Shi Ming was very excited. He originally thought that he would be able to meet Guo Mo this time and complete the attachment of "Luo's Ghost Kingdom" to the Song Dynasty. This would be considered a perfect completion of the trip.
Who would have thought that Guo Mo's identity would be so astonishing, and the safety of the "Luo Family Ghost Country" in the coming decades would naturally be guaranteed.
Shi Ming left with two martial arts secret books and full satisfaction. He was accompanied by relevant personnel to carry out the subsequent handover of the war horse.
According to Guo Mo's wishes, the war horses do not need to be sent to Lin'an, but will be distributed directly to the "Dunwu Army", "Jingnan Army" and "Zhongshun Army".
After all, these are nominally Guo Mo's personal war horses, and it is understandable how he wants to distribute them.
"Rong'er, I'm sorry, I..."
Guo Mo felt that Huang Rong shouldn't be so calm. He wanted to give her a satisfactory explanation, but he still didn't know how to explain it.
"Brother Mo, I said, maybe all this is fate. You don't need to blame yourself."
"Fourth Master, what's the matter with you?"
Huang Rong didn't want to get entangled in this matter anymore. After all, it wasn't clear who was right and who was wrong. Seeing Nan Xiren still sitting aside, she quickly changed the subject.
"Mo'er, Rong'er, I do have something to do as a teacher. But seeing Mo'er like this, I don't know if it's appropriate to talk to him again."
Seeing the way the fourth master was hesitating to speak, Guo Mo knew it was not a simple matter.
Guo Mo knew very well what Nancy Ren was like. He was a responsible person, and it wasn't anything special. Normally, he would not speak to himself.
"Fourth Master, why are you trying to be polite to me? You are my master and I am your apprentice. If the apprentice does something wrong, you can hit him or scold him. What else is inappropriate to say?
What did you tell me?"
Guo Mo attaches great importance to and cherishes his feelings for the "Seven Freaks of Jiangnan". Without them, he might not be in this world long ago, let alone being where he is today.
"Mo'er, two pieces of news have just been sent from the north. One is that the Mongolian army suddenly launched an offensive on the northern front a month ago. It was not an attack on Xixia, but a surprise attack of 50,000 Mongolian troops led by Mu Huali, who directly attacked the Jin Kingdom.
Approaching Juyong Pass."
"The Emperor of the Jin Dynasty moved the capital in a hurry and went to Bianliang, but he did not dare to recall the hundreds of thousands of troops sent to Xixia, so he had to mobilize the garrison troops on the Song and Jin border again. This news was already ten days ago."
"Another piece of news is that a team of three hundred people came from the desert. It seems that there are people chasing them from behind. After entering the territory of the Jin Kingdom, the Jin Kingdom also sent troops to intercept them."
"This group of people is extremely fierce. They broke out from two to three thousand Jin Kingdom cavalry. People from the 'Imperial City Division' saw that there were men, women, and children in this group. Someone seemed to have seen your second master.
figure."
"I'm guessing whether it's your mother and the others who have returned from the desert. But in the Kingdom of Jin, our 'Imperial City Division' is too weak, so we can't find out for the time being."
Nancy Ren said, feeling a little anxious herself.
The current direction is completely beyond Guo Mo's understanding, whether it is Mongolia sending troops to attack the Jin Kingdom, or this group of people coming from the desert.
In another time and space, the Mongolian army first destroyed Xixia and then Koryeo before launching a full-scale war against the Jin Kingdom.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! By that time, Temujin had long been dead, and Ogodei’s large-scale crusade against the Jin Kingdom would have to be postponed to six or seven years later.
"Fourth Master, where did this group of people from the desert last appear?"
Guo Mo knew that even if the Mongols succeeded for a while, they would not be able to destroy the Jin Kingdom in a short time.
And those three hundred people, if they were Second Master and the others, might be in danger at any time.
"When they passed through Zhongdu, Jin Ting had already evacuated. After encountering the Jin army in Yizhou, they broke through and headed southwest, possibly along the Baozhou and Xiangzhou lines."
The place names at this time were still somewhat different from Guo Mo's memory. He thought about it for a long time.
"Rong'er, it seems I have to go there in person. It's probably my mother and the others who are back. I'll take senior brother and second senior sister there. It will be easier to move around with less people."
"Fourth Master, since the Jin Kingdom has withdrawn to Bianjing, the east and north will be tightly defended. If I receive them, I can only cross the Yellow River, go to Henan Prefecture, and go south to Ruzhou."
"After I leave, you report the whole story to the officials and ask the Ministry of Rites to inform the Kingdom of Jin not to pursue this group of people."
"I believe that the people of the Jin Kingdom will probably not care. In the name of His Highness the 'King of Yan', you asked the 'Dunwu', 'Jingnan', and 'Zhongshun' armies to each send out 10,000 cavalry to capture Ruzhou to support us."
.”
"The three armies are headed by Meng Gong, and he will make unified arrangements for specific combat operations. Everyone must follow orders, otherwise military law will be dealt with."
Nan Xiren wrote them down one by one, but he was still worried.
He said that after everything was done, he would personally select more than a hundred experts from the "Imperial City Division" and follow this route to respond.
"Rong'er, the whole family depends on you."
It happened that "Dongxie" Huang Yaoshi was not around at this time, and he was about to travel far away again.
Guo Mo was really worried about letting others pass. Thinking about his mother Li Ping's ending in another time and space, Guo Mo was afraid of the "powerful inertia" in the dark.
If the same ending happened, Guo Mo really didn't know how he would face it.
"Brother Mo, we agreed to go to the desert to meet my mother together, but now I can only break my promise."
Huang Rong didn't stop him, and couldn't stop him. She just felt a little uncomfortable because she couldn't fulfill her promise.
"Silly girl, there are so many people in the family who need your care, especially the two children who are only a few months old. Your burden is not light. Wait until I come back."
At this time, the "Black Wind Shuangsha" had been notified, and the two of them packed up and came to "Fulong Residence" to wait.
Just when the three of them were about to board the boat and leave, three more people came on horseback from behind.
"master--"
"master--"
"master--"
It turned out that three of Guo Mo's apprentices had arrived. They were wearing warrior robes and fine armor on the inside. They were carrying their own weapons, and there was also a small baggage hanging on them.
"What are you doing?"
Guo Mo seemed to realize something and asked anyway.
The three juniors looked at each other, and finally it was senior brother Zhang Shijie who bravely stepped forward to answer.
"Master, I heard that the master and his two uncles are going to pick up my grandmother when she returns to the south. The three of us are also willing to go with the master."
Seeing Nan Qin next to him, turning his back and secretly wiping his tears, Guo Mo knew that these three children already knew what would happen next.
Each one has a childish face, but their height has already reached the height of an adult.
Guo Mo originally wanted to reject them, but Huang Rong spoke from the side.
"Brother Mo, just let the three of them follow. The young eagle will eventually grow up. We can't let them just work behind closed doors all day long. With you here, can't you protect them?"
Well, since Huang Rong said so, Guo Mo no longer insisted on his opinion.
"You three can follow me out. If anyone disobeys me on the way, just get back here."
Pretending to be a black face, he put on the airs of a master and scolded.
In this way, Guo Mo and his party of six people, old and young, got on the big ship and left "Peach Blossom Island".
There was no words to say all the way, walking through Jiaxing, Yangzhou, crossing the Huai River, and entering the territory of the Kingdom of Jin.
Guo Mo could feel that the Jin garrison on the Song-Jin border was significantly reduced, and he was still a little worried.
From the bottom of his heart, Guo Mo didn't want the Jin Kingdom to be defeated too quickly. If he could resist the Mongolian army more, the Song Dynasty would be able to make more preparations.
When entering Huaibei, Guo Mo contacted the branch of the Beggar Clan and met an acquaintance.
Yu Zhaoxing, the nephew of Li Sheng, the "Snake King of Jiangdong", was already a Liubao disciple of the Beggar Clan in his twenties, and could be regarded as a rising star in the Clan.
Now he has followed Li Sheng to the Kingdom of Jin and is in charge of a branch of the Beggar Clan. The entire Beggar Clan disciples in Huaibei are under his leadership.
"It turns out that Guo Dutong has arrived, and Yu Zhaoxing is far away from us. I wonder if anyone in the Beggar Clan can help you?"
Yu Zhaoxing is a sensible person. This is the younger brother of his gang leader. His martial arts skills are extremely high and he is a powerful figure in the Song Dynasty army. He cannot neglect him.
"Master Yu, you are very polite. Mr. Guo is passing by here and wants to know about the situation of the Jin Kingdom's garrison here."
Seeing that this was what Guo Mo was asking, he didn't dare to inquire in depth. He just told the news he knew in detail.
As expected by Guo Mo, the Jin Kingdom moved its capital to Bianjing, and the entire Jin Kingdom's army was roughly divided into three parts.
In the northwest, there are hundreds of thousands of allied troops with Xixia; in the north of the Great Wall, along the Zhongdu line, there are also hundreds of thousands.
The remaining elites gathered on the north bank of the Yellow River to protect Bianliang, and there were hundreds of thousands of troops.
As for the border between Song and Jin Dynasties, the entire Huaihe River defense line no longer had 40,000 troops, but was still spread over a border defense line of one to two thousand miles, which was a full 100,000 fewer troops than before.
Regardless of its combat power and the number of its troops, the Jin Kingdom was indeed a behemoth.
Guo Mo asked Yu Zhaoxing to record the news in detail and send someone to Lin'an to deliver it to the shopkeeper of "Sanyuanlou".
Without further delay, we continued heading northwest.
Most of what they passed was the place where ancient Yuzhou was located, which was later known as Henan.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The land of the Central Plains has always been a battleground for military strategists.
Especially after the Jin Kingdom conquered Bianliang, the entire Song Dynasty migrated south, and many prominent families from the Central Plains also moved south, which suddenly sucked away too much of Yuzhou's energy and spirit.
Originally the heartland of the country, in the past few decades, it has become a battlefield between the two countries. Productivity has been severely damaged, and the overall economic situation is much worse than that of the Song Dynasty.
Along the way, we encountered several robbers, and once they were even more than a hundred Jin soldiers.
There was no need for Guo Mo to take action, as the three energetic boys dismissed them.
When dealing with ordinary robbers, Guo Mo also told them to try not to hurt people's lives.
He was not so polite to Jin Bing.
After killing dozens of golden soldiers in a row, the remaining soldiers fled in all directions.
These three boys didn't have time to catch up. They jumped off their horses one by one and found a place to vomit "wow wow".
After all, it was his first time to kill someone, and he killed so many people.
After all, they were just thirteen or fourteen-year-old kids. After getting over that excitement, they couldn't bear it anymore.
Chen Xuanfeng was still "old and dishonest" and laughed at the three boys from the side, but Guo Mo gave him a hard look.
After vomiting for a long time, until there was nothing more to vomit, Guo Mo took them and found a small river for the three boys to jump in and wash them off.
After changing into clean clothes again, everyone's faces were still a little pale, except for Hu Yande who was slightly excited.
"Master, it feels so good to kill someone!"
Well, this kid actually has this tendency. In fact, he killed someone a year and a half ago when he didn't know how to do martial arts.
"Okay, let's take a rest and have something to eat. We must leave this place immediately."
"We just got away with dozens of golden soldiers. Once we get a large group of troops, we will cause unnecessary trouble."
For Guo Mo, there was no danger. When he encountered a group of golden soldiers, he just asked a few apprentices to use meat to avoid losing the chain at the critical moment.
After all, after killing dozens of soldiers, Guo Mo even selected six more good war horses, giving each of them an extra horse as a spare.
Seeing how serious Guo Mo was speaking, Hu Yande didn't dare to make a mistake.
The six people had enough dry food, dried meat and water, so they tried to travel on uninhabited paths.
After walking for another three days, they didn't meet anyone, let alone the pursuers, so everyone felt relieved a little.
On this day, when everyone was resting next to a forest, Guo Mo felt a sense of danger inexplicably.
"Attention everyone, there is something going on."
"Dark Wind and Two Demons" hurriedly flew up the tree, set up a pergola and looked in three directions, but found nothing unusual.
When they were about to come down, they vaguely saw puffs of smoke rising from the east and west sides from a distance.
During the tea time, the smoke and dust got bigger and bigger, and a large number of cavalry roared in. Everyone tried to escape but it was too late.
The "Double Black Wind Demons" jumped down from the tree, each with a sword, guarded by their two horns.
The three young men also mounted their horses one after another, each took off a long spear from the bird's wing ring, and Hu Yande rushed forward. Zhang Shijie and Wu Nantian separated on the left and right.
In an instant, these five people protected Guo Mo in the safest position.
Guo Mo couldn't help but feel a little funny, and also felt very touched. These three brats actually knew how to protect their master?
Not long after, at least two thousand cavalry troops roared up and surrounded them.
There is a large flag in the center with the word "Wanyan" written on it and the words "Zhennan Army Jiedu Envoy" next to it. A general under the banner is standing on horseback.
The person who came was about forty years old, not even fifty years old, but he had a face like a silver basin and a dignified appearance. He looked like a Confucian general, which made people intimidated at first sight. What a great general!
Guo Mo also flew on the yellow gelding, and the horse moved forward, jumped over Hu Yande, came to the front of the two armies' formation, and shouted loudly.
"Who is coming?"
That general didn't expect that just six people from the other side would show no fear when they saw his 2,000-strong army.
The defensive formation was set up in an instant, and a young man in front actually called the formation?
The general also rushed forward. With so many of his own here, there was no reason to be afraid of just six of them, not to mention that he was also a veteran who had been fighting for half his life.
Although he was pushed to Caizhou and held the position of military governor of the Zhennan Army, he was passive and sabotaged and was unwilling to become an enemy of the Song Army, but it did not mean that he could not wield the sword in his hand.
"Young man, did you kill dozens of my sergeants?"
The general stared at Guo Mo for a long time and asked leisurely.
"Sergeant? They're just a bunch of bandits in military uniforms. Killing them is just justice for heaven."
Guo Mo faced the opponent's question directly and let out a little momentum. Dozens of people in the front row of the Jin Army felt the cold murderous intent.
"I Wanyan Zhongyuan, your Excellency is not an unknown person. Do you dare to tell me your name?"
"What? Are you Guo Zhongyuan from the Flower Hat Army?"
