Hearing the report from the "Hu Ben Army" that a solemn old monk had arrived outside the palace, Guo Mo was still very puzzled and guessed which eminent monk was visiting, but he didn't expect that it was Master Yideng who arrived.
"Amitabha, after so many years of separation, I don't want His Highness to change again and again. Now the power of flying to the sky has been achieved. Unifying the universe is just around the corner. It has also achieved the 'innate realm'. I am very happy and congratulated!"
We haven't seen each other for seven or eight years, but Yideng still doesn't look old. Looking at Guo Mo, who is dressed in casual clothes, there is a look of satisfaction in his eyes.
"Brother Zhu, are you here too?"
Following Yideng was Zhu Ziliu, known as the "scholar".
He is the youngest disciple of Master Yideng. He is only thirty-six or seventeen years old this year, and he is rare in being versatile in both civil and military affairs.
"master--"
Before Zhu Ziliu could speak, a little head poked out from behind him and looked at Guo Mo with a smile.
"Guo'er? Is that you? Why are you here? Why are you with Master Yideng?"
Guo Mo first bowed his hands towards Master Yideng, then took two steps to come to Yang Guo and hugged the boy.
We haven’t seen each other for more than three years. Yang Guo is now eight years old. He has practiced martial arts all year round and is well-nourished. He looks like a half-grown boy when he stands there.
Little Yang Guo recognized Guo Mo at a glance. If he hadn't heard the other person call him "Master" and seen these familiar big eyes, Guo Mo might not have dared to take the initiative to recognize Yang Guo in front of him.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince."
At this time, Zhu Ziliu also came over to say hello to Guo Mo.
"Hey, we have known each other since we were young, and Master Yideng is an eminent monk. Brother Zhu, please don't use those common names to dirty each other's ears. You should call me 'Brother Guo Xian'."
Guo Mo hurriedly stopped Zhu Ziliu. He admired the Duan family's consistent handling of the relationship between the court and Jianghu. Therefore, he preferred to call himself "Guo Mo" in front of Jianghu people.
A month has passed since the Battle of Bianliang.
Cheng Jue and Yelu Chucai also rushed to Bianliang City one after another. The two men had a clear division of labor.
Yelu Chucai took office as the magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture, while the old Cheng Jue fulfilled his duties as the Minister of Rites, preparing the way for the official Zhao Kuo to go north to worship his ancestors next year.
All the other state capitals of the Jin Kingdom were placed under the rule of Du Gao, the economic and pacification envoy of Henan Province, and the administrative seat was still located in Luoyang City.
Except for Yingzhou, which was captured by Hu Ju of Lin'an, Yue Ao only sent two thousand "Yue family troops" to each of the other state capitals. It is more appropriate to say that they were captured rather than captured.
The first thing to solve is naturally the food problem. Fortunately, the weather is going well this year. With the entire Song Dynasty, it is more than enough to provide food and clothing for these two million people.
Guo Mo stayed in Bianliang City for more than a month, and personally presided over the funeral of Wanyan Saibuhe Shi Anshi. For those who were loyal to the emperor and patriotic, Guo Mo would always let them get the honor they deserved.
The generous burial of Wanyan Saibuhe and Shi Anshi greatly appeased the Jin Kingdom's surrender. Although most of these people will not be retained, they and the power behind them cannot be ignored.
Cui Li also received a generous burial. After his son Cui Mian was "interviewed" by Guo Mo personally, he found that this son was also a talent that could be developed, so he was left to Yelu Chucai for training.
"Haha, I've heard about the great achievements of 'Colonel Heizi' for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be you."
After surrendering Cui Li's thousands of troops, they naturally met the Colonel Heizi. This person was none other than Lu Pingsheng, who was recruited from the "Jingnan Army" by "Tingfeng".
At the beginning, "Tingfeng" needed to send people to infiltrate Cui Lijun's army, but they could not find a suitable leader. He needed to be good at martial arts and know how to fight in the army.
Because the operation was targeting Cui Lijun in Weizhou, Lu Chengfeng specially sent someone to consult Guo Jing for his opinion. In the end, Guo Jing sent his right-hand man, "Iron Palm Ruthless" Lu Pingsheng.
"There are some things that this subordinate made the decision without permission, and almost ruined His Highness's important affairs, subordinate."
Lu Pingsheng and Guo Mo had known each other for a long time. As Guo Mo's identity changed, this "iron-palm ruthless" man became a little "strange" unconsciously.
"Haha, I don't blame you. Judging from the results, everything is just right. What are your plans for the next step? Do you want to stay in Tingfeng or return to the Jingnan Army?"
Lu Pingsheng was born in the Green Forest and was the third leader of the "Iron Palm Gang". He followed Guo Mo and joined the "Dunwu Army". He accumulated military merit and was later promoted to be the deputy general of Guo Jing, the "Jingnan Army".
"Your Highness, can I join the 'Jin Yi'? I am from a martial arts background, and I would like to learn kung fu."
Lu Pingsheng studied under the "Iron Palm Floater" Qiu Qianren, and his palm skills are very good. After so many years, he has become a second-rate master.
"Haha, okay, you have made a great contribution this time. Since you have this request, I will simply grant it to you. However, after entering the 'Jinyi', you can no longer call me Your Highness, but you have to call me 'Teacher'.
"
"Yes, thank you so much, thank you, teacher -"
Lu Pingsheng was thirty-three years old. After breaking through to the second-rate level, he had not made any progress for several years.
At his age and level, where can he find a suitable master?
When he heard that Guo Mo had formed "Jinyi" in Luoyang City, Lu Pingsheng had this idea. Unfortunately, he had responsibilities after all, so how could he leave his post without permission so easily?
Taking advantage of Guo Mo's opportunity to meet him, Lu Pingsheng mustered up the courage to bring it up. Unexpectedly, Guo Mo agreed immediately.
Guo Mo is also very happy. In this way, the strength of "Jinyi" has been strengthened again. In addition to the first-rate master Lu Guanying, it also has three second-rate masters Wu Nantian, Li Zhichang and Lu Pingsheng.
Guo Mo originally planned to return to Luoyang in a few days.
Everything in Bianliang was on the right track. The actual effect of his stay here was not great. Unexpectedly, he unexpectedly waited for Master Yideng, Zhu Ziliu, and Xiao Yangguo, whom he had not seen for three years.
Full of doubts, he couldn't stand outside the palace all the time. Guo Mo took little Yang Guo by the hand and hurriedly invited everyone inside.
"Yanfu Palace" became Guo Mo's temporary residence, and other palaces have begun to accept Cheng Ju's transformation.
Knowing that Guo Mo would not place the capital in Bianliang, the Song Dynasty had no need to build large-scale construction in Bianliang City.
However, the Jin Kingdom has occupied the Bianliang Palace for so long, and many places still reveal the unique style of the Jurchens. Old Cheng Ju still has to get rid of these "eyesore" places one by one.
"Master Yideng, where did you come from?"
After the guests and hosts were seated, tea was served by the "tiger army".
Guo Mo still couldn't get used to those palace maids or chamberlains, so he simply sent them all home, which could be regarded as a good deed.
"Amitabha, the old monk came from Peach Blossom Island——"
Sure enough, when he saw Yang Guo and Yideng together, Guo Mo thought of where they came from.
It turned out that by escorting his grandson, Duan Xiangxing, the last emperor of Dali, came to Lin'an, and Master Yideng also came all the way north.
However, when they were approaching Lin'an, Yideng left with Zhu Ziliu.
He was already a monk and would no longer participate in the submission of letters of surrender, so he continued eastward to Peach Blossom Island.
"Master Yideng? What a rare guest—"
After receiving the news, Huang Yaoshi personally welcomed the "Peach Blossom Array". The two old friends had not seen each other for many years, so naturally they had many feelings for each other.
However, after all the talk, one person cannot be avoided, and that is Guo Mo, the current crown prince of the Song Dynasty.
"Brother Yao is so lucky. He has such a smart daughter, but he has also found the best son-in-law in the world. He is the envy of others -"
"Haha, you are talking about that boy. Don't dare to say anything else. On the way to learning martial arts, that boy is definitely a genius that only happens once in hundreds of years -"
Huang Yaoshi had never even heard of this "innate master" who was in his twenties, let alone seen him.
"However, after that kid broke through to the 'Innate Realm', I haven't seen him yet, and I don't know what the 'Innate Realm' will be like?"
It stands to reason that Huang Yaoshi has seen innate masters. The old head of the Murong family gave Huang Yaoshi the feeling of being unfathomable.
However, Guo Mo said that the "innate realm" of Murong's old family master was compromised.
Although the current Huang Yaoshi is also in the realm of "half-step innateness", he vaguely feels that he may have no hope of breakthrough in this life.
"Haha, Brother Yao is already hoping for innateness? The old monk is still stuck in the 'peak realm'. This time he came north just to find his own opportunity for a breakthrough. I hope Brother Yao can teach me."
The more people are at the top of martial arts, the more eager they are to go further. Even a monk like Master Yideng is not immune to secularism.
"Okay, after drinking this cup of tea, Huang will accompany the master to walk a few moves."
"Dongxie" versus "Southern Emperor".
Although Huang Yaoshi was half a level higher than Master Yideng, when Master Yideng used the "Six Meridians Divine Sword", the two of them fought more than 300 moves in a row, but it was hard to tell the winner.
"Six Meridians Divine Sword? The name of the best sword in the world in the past is indeed extraordinary!"
Huang Yaoshi withdrew his moves first. The two of them had not seen each other for many years and wanted to test each other's martial arts skills. They were not fighting to the death, and of course they did not try their best.
"It seems that Brother Yao has already walked ahead of the old monk. Unfortunately, the old monk's use of the 'Six Meridians Divine Sword' is only superficial. If Nephew Mo was here, it would be a different story when he used it.
"
Until now, Master Yideng still has not been able to use all six meridians simultaneously, as his own internal strength is still not enough.
Master Yideng felt that if he could practice the "Xiantian Kung Fu" to great perfection, he might be able to truly penetrate the "Six Meridians Divine Sword".
Unfortunately, he came into contact with "Xiantian Kung" too late. Due to his age and talent limitations, he had only been able to practice "Xiantian Kung" to a small degree after years of hard training.
"Haha, Huang is also thanks to the old poison and takes advantage of Mo'er, otherwise he may not be able to reach the state of 'half-step innateness'."
Huang Yaoshi did not hide anything and told him how Ouyang Feng, the "Western poisoner", poisoned him.
"Amitabha, Ouyang Donor is still like this. Even if his power is as deep as the sea, it is not the right way."
Among the five great people in the world, Ouyang Feng, the "West Poison", is considered the least popular. Even a monk like Master Yideng criticized his behavior.
"Brother Yao, have you heard anything about Brother Seventh over the years?"
Master Yideng is called the "Southern Emperor", while Hong Qigong is called the "Northern Beggar". They have not seen each other for more than 20 years since the last "Huashan Sword Discussion".
"Haha, you asked the right person. Huang really knows the news about the old beggar. He has accepted an apprentice named Guo Jing, who is the son of Mo'er's adoptive mother."
"I am the same age as Mo'er, and now he is already a strong man in the first-class realm. The set of 'Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms' is not inferior to Mr. Hong's beggar."
"That kid is also a weirdo in martial arts. He is proficient in Quanzhen Sect's internal skills, light skills and palm techniques. Now he has also learned the 'Nine Yin Manual' and the 'Rising Sun and Setting Sun Palm'. I'm afraid he will surpass us old guys sooner or later."
"However, the news about the old beggar was from two years ago. If we want to know where he is now, we probably have to ask Mo Xiao to help him find it."
Huang Yaoshi told Guo Mo about meeting Hong Qigong in Tianshan. Of course, Huang Yaoshi also introduced the two "innate masters" he met one by one.
Master Yideng, who had seen strong winds and waves and was a monk with a calm mind, was also stunned by Huang Yaoshi's description.
"Amitabha, I never thought that there are so many masters in the world. We are actually called the "Five Bests in the World". I am really ashamed."
"Speaking of which, the senior monk of the Beggar Clan, whom the old monk also calls 'grandfather', is the sworn brother of the old monk's grandfather. I wish I could meet him if he is still alive."
When Yideng was a child, he was closest to his grandfather. In addition to practicing martial arts with his grandfather, he also studied Buddhism with his grandfather.
He also occasionally heard his grandfather mention things from his youth, saying how his sworn brother Bo Yuntian was the most extraordinary man in the world.
To this day, Yideng can't forget the look of admiration in his grandfather's eyes when he mentioned his adopted brother.
It's a pity that I didn't hear about the ending of my grandfather's adopted brother. Yideng also asked about it. My grandfather opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Later, as he grew older, Yideng had a premonition that it would be an unhappy ending. While he admired it, he felt an inexplicable sense of regret.
"It must have been a magnificent era, but it's a pity that we were born decades later."
Huang Yaoshi obviously knew more about that era than Yideng. After all, there was the "storyteller" Guo Mo, and Huang Yaoshi was considered a man in the game.
Since then, Master Yideng and Zhu Ziliu have lived on Peach Blossom Island. In addition to practicing martial arts with "Dongxie" Huang Yaoshi, they also pay attention to those children in their spare time.
They are all talented people who can be developed, especially little Yang Guo who is already eight years old.
All the children started practicing the "Eight Methods of the Desert" almost from the front and back. After more than two years, two of them reached the third level of "White Sand".
Eight-year-old Yang Guo and nine-year-old Guo Ping, Guo Ping's progress is considered excellent. This child has been practical and diligent since he was a child. Although his talent is not as good as Yang Guo's, he is worse than his willingness to work hard.
Little Yang Guo is different. He is a person with a delicate heart, and he has the foundation laid by Guo Mo like cheating. If Huang Yaoshi hadn't deliberately tried to temper this child's temper, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to reach the fourth level of "Qiu Lai" now.
"Like Snow" can be achieved.
If an eight-year-old child has really reached a third-rate level of internal strength, how terrifying would that be?
When it comes to the advancement of internal skills, it is necessary to be more cautious, but there are no restrictions on martial arts.
Several children have already mastered the "Nanshan Palm Technique", and Huang Yaoshi has taught many children the "Orchid Acupuncture Technique" this year.
Ye Qu followed Guo Mo's instructions and first passed on the "Chaoyang Palm" to these children.
Sure enough, once you learn a new Kung Fu, the difference is obvious.
Of course Yang Guo learned the fastest, and the second place was actually Yeluqi, who had just arrived.
Among the children studying martial arts, Yeluqi is the youngest. He is only six years old, the same age as Guo Yi. His talent is second only to Yang Guo, but he was introduced to martial arts later than others.
"Where did Amitabha, Brother Yao, and Nephew Mo Xian find these children with excellent bones? This little Yang Guo and Yelu Qi over there are both top choices. No wonder they were accepted as disciples by him."
The other children, that is, compared to Yang Guo and Yelu Qi, seem a bit mediocre. In fact, they are considered rare talents even among various sects.
"Haha, Master Yideng, these children are indeed good, but I also have a granddaughter who is currently staying in Luoyang. She is a very talented person."
"Last time Rong'er wrote to say that the little girl's Qing Gong has actually entered the palace. She is still learning the Qing Gong of the 'Tomb Sect', and she is even better at the 'Orchid Flow Point Hand'. Now she has started to practice swordsmanship again.
"
"Perhaps we are really old, and we are a little timid about teaching martial arts to our children. We are not as open as Mo'er and Ronger."
Huang Yaoshi looked at the seven boys practicing in the field, as well as the third son Guo Xiao, who was led by Mu Nianci. This boy was only three years old. He giggled as he watched a group of older brothers in the field tossing around.
In a dozen years, when these children are all in their twenties, Mo'er will have so many more good helpers.
Master Yideng lived in Taohua Island for more than two months, until he heard the news that the Kingdom of Jin had been destroyed by the "Yue Family Army" led by Guo Mo himself. Suddenly he wanted to visit Bianliang City, so he bid farewell to Huang Yaoshi.
.
When asking about the whereabouts of Master Yideng, "Dongxie" suddenly came up with an idea.
"Master Yideng, over the past two months, you have witnessed with your own eyes the progress of these children in learning martial arts. In my opinion, Yang Guo is probably not suitable to stay here any longer."
Seven children practiced martial arts together, and Yang Guo learned too fast. It was easy for him when he was five or six years old at first, but now he is eight years old, and he has gradually developed his own relatively independent thoughts.
Several times, Yang Guo has mentioned that he wants to continue practicing to the fourth level.
It’s not that Huang Yaoshi, Zhu Cong and others are unwilling to teach. On the one hand, they are worried that their children will enter the country too quickly. The key is that Yang Guo’s entry into the country too quickly will also cause invisible pressure on other children.
Here, Guo Ping is one year older than Yang Guo. In order to keep up with Yang Guo, he has secretly put in a lot of hard work.
Ye Feng and Lu Bing, who are the same age as Yang Guo, have just reached the second level of "Feng Guo Jingqi". Those who can reach the third level at the age of ten are considered outstanding beings.
However, it happened that little Yang Guo entered the country first, and the comparison between these two equally outstanding children made him somewhat doubtful.
Boys of this age group still compete with each other. As he grows older, Huang Yaoshi's "troubles" of happiness become more and more serious.
Then, taking advantage of Master Yideng's departure, he wanted him to take Yang Guo away and hand it over to Guo Mo himself.
He was originally that boy's apprentice, but he had been left on Peach Blossom Island for a few years without any care. If Yang Guo stayed with his equally defiant granddaughter, maybe there wouldn't be such a big difference.
"Haha, okay, the old monk understands your thoughts."
In this way, Huang Yaoshi wrote a letter himself. He was worried that Guo Mo would misunderstand, so he introduced Yang Guo's situation in detail and attached his own judgment.
Except for being taken away when he was a child, Yang Guo has never left Yang Tiexin and Mu Nianci. Now that he is really leaving, these two people still feel a little hard to let go.
However, after Huang Yaoshi explained it to them, the two of them could still understand it.
"Nian'er, let Guo'er find his master. Island Master Huang is an expert in this world. Since he believes that this is good for Guo'er, we can't block the child's future."
Even Yang Tiexin was reluctant to leave, but he still offered words of comfort to Mu Nianci.
Little Yang Guo was extremely excited after hearing this. In his young heart, the master was the best in the world. The problem was that he could never see the master.
Now that he could go to his master and have a little Xiang'er to play with, Yang Guo was so happy that he couldn't sleep well all night.
In this way, Master Yideng, Zhu Ziliu and Xiao Yangguo, with three people and three horses, left Peach Blossom Island and slowly and leisurely rushed to Bianliang City.
After listening to Master Yideng's introduction, Guo Mo stood up and saluted Yideng and Zhu Ziliu Shen.
"Thank you Master and Brother Zhu for taking care of Guo'er along the way. As a master, I am indeed too incompetent. Please follow me from now on."
At this time, Yideng also took out the letter from "Dongxie" Huang Yaoshi from his arms.
Guo Mo believed that he knew Yang Guo's character and talent better than anyone else. Even without the explanation from Huang Yaoshi's letter, he could figure out the joints.
However, what Guo Mo didn't expect was that Yang Guo was only eight years old, yet he would act so evil?
However, he thought about his little Xiang'er, who was two years younger than Yang Guo. Isn't that little girl even more evil?
He couldn't guarantee that when little Guo Xiang was eight years old, wouldn't she still be able to reach the third-rate level?
"Later, let me check your skills."
In front of Master Yideng, Guo Mo called little Yang Guo to his side and gently put his right hand on Yang Guo's shoulder.
Immediately, Yang Guo felt a warm current entering his body along the "Jianjing Point", and then slowly running along his twelve meridians for a week.
After about a cup of tea, Yang Guo felt indescribably comfortable, and the energy in his body seemed to have solidified a lot.
"Yes, it seems that you have really practiced hard in the past two years. The third level of the 'Eight Methods of the Desert' has been quite stable. Now you can indeed start practicing the fourth level."
Little Yang Guo was very happy to receive the master's personal affirmation. No matter how smart he was, he was only an eight-year-old child.
"Let's do this. I will return to Luoyang in a few days. After arriving in Luoyang, I will teach you the fourth level and at the same time, I will pass on the complete 'Rising Sun and Setting Sun Palm' to you."
Guo Mo has many special skills, but only "Eight Methods of the Desert" and "Sunset Palm" were created or upgraded by himself.
Even if he doesn't learn other martial arts, Guo Mo can guarantee that Yang Guo will reach the first-class level by practicing these two techniques for ten years.
Of course, Guo Mo's expectations for Yang Guo are much more than that. He has long regarded Yang Guo as his true successor, and maybe his little girl can do the same.
The arrival of Yideng still disrupted Guo Mo's planned itinerary, but fortunately it was not delayed for a few days.
When Yu Jie went to Dali, Guo Mo had already given a copy of his upgraded and revised "Chaoyang Sunset Palm" to Master Yideng.
In the past few days, with Master Yideng's full efforts, Kankan had gone through one hundred and fifty rounds under Guo Mo, and Yideng became a little unable to withstand it.
"Amitabha, the 'innate realm' is indeed not comparable to the 'extreme realm'. From the old monk's point of view, the difference between the two is not just the increase in skill."
Before meeting Guo Mo, Master Yideng had always thought that as long as his internal strength continued to grow, when it grew to a certain amount, he would automatically break through to the next level.
Every previous breakthrough in realm basically came from this.
However, after fighting Guo Mo just now, I discovered that it is not a matter of internal strength at all. Even if Guo Mo only mobilizes a trace of his innate true energy, he needs to deal with it with all his strength.
What kind of qualitative change follows the quantitative change?
Looking at the confused Master Yideng, Guo Mo recounted his experience in the secret cave of Zhongnan Mountain.
"Amitabha, maybe the innate state is really something that can be encountered but cannot be sought. Everyone has his own destiny, and the old monk should also look for his own destiny."
Other people's experiences, no matter how good they are, are only theirs and can only be used for reference, not for personal use.
"Master Yideng, I have an immature suggestion. Please listen to it."
"Buddhism emphasizes one word of enlightenment, and even more emphasis on closed-door practice. However, there is a kind of Buddha who has ten thousand appearances. Not long ago, I was fortunate enough to have a meeting with Zen Master Daoji."
"Master, why don't you imitate Zen Master Daoji? You have traveled all over the mountains and rivers, and you have seen all kinds of things in the world. Sitting quietly is practice, and walking is also practice."
"Perhaps the majesty of Mount Tai can make you appreciate the majesty beyond life, and perhaps the rushing of the Yellow River can make you lament the ruthlessness of time."
"Perhaps the killings on the battlefield can make you experience the harmony of life and death, and perhaps the common people's indifference can make you realize the reality and illusion of insignificance and nobility."
"Didn't you say that mountains are mountains when you see them and water is water when you see them? Then you have to go and see them first, right?"
Yes, you have to go and meet him first.
"Amitabha, this old monk is short-sighted. Many thanks to nephew Mo Xian for enlightening me——"
After Yi Deng listened, he chanted a Dharma chant, clasped his hands together, and saluted Guo Mo.
"Haha, I am not instructing the master, but the master has figured it out himself. Now, it is the master who wants to take a look. Tomorrow, it is the master who really wants to take a look. What does it matter to me?"
"Yes, I'm here for you. However, before I leave, I still have something to ask for."
Master Yideng actually said the word "seeking"?
"Master, with the friendship between you and me, do you still need to use the word 'begging'? But if you have a destiny, I will obey it."
Guo Mo also stood up. For a person like Yideng to trust each other so solemnly, it must be an important matter.
"Haha, nephew Mo Xian doesn't need to be like this. It's said that the old monk has not cultivated enough, but he has become a monk, but he has to take a few disciples with him."
"My fourth disciple has studied both literature and martial arts for a few days. The country of Dali is gone, but he is only in his thirties. The old monk wants to entrust his disciple to His Highness the Crown Prince."
"Whether he is a first-level official or the head of a county, as long as he can do something for the people of the world, he will live up to what he has learned over the years."
"master."
Zhu Ziliu wanted to say something, but was stopped by Yideng and a wave of his hand.
"Haha, that's what happened. This is not your request, master. It's clearly a request for help from me."
"Brother Zhu has been the prime minister of Dali. How can a mere staff member or a county be able to develop it?"
"Let's see. Several states in the Jin Kingdom have just been recovered. If Brother Zhu doesn't mind it, why don't you go to Guide Mansion and be the prefect first?"
"In the next year, I will mainly focus on cultivating my voice with the people. The strategies adopted under the lower government are still very different from those elsewhere. After Brother Zhu is completely familiar with it, there will surely be more opportunities to put it into practice."
Among the "fishing, woodworking, farming and reading", the "scholar" Zhu Ziliu had the highest martial arts achievements, and even served as the prime minister of Dali.
No matter how small Dali is, it is still a country. Compared with the entire Guanzhong Plain, or the current Henan and Hebei areas, its area is larger.
Since Zhu Ziliu can join his subordinates, sooner or later he will be at least a strategic and pacifying envoy. Guo Mo will accept any number of such people.
"Then I would like to thank you, Your Highness—"
This time, Guo Mo did not correct Zhu Ziliu's title.
Now that Zhu Ziliu has become the prefect of Guide Prefecture, Guo Mo has the obligation to take him to meet his future colleagues.
Cheng Jue and Yelu Chucai were in Bianliang City, and they introduced each other over a meal.
At the same time, Guo Mo gave Du Gao another handwriting order, ordering him to appoint an assistant officer to Guide Mansion as soon as possible, so that Zhu Ziliu could take office at a certain date.
The next day, Master Yideng left alone. The world of mortals was vast and the sea of Buddhism was boundless. He needed to find his own path.
Guo Mo is leaving too.
Guo Mo originally thought that the trip to Bianliang would not take too much time, but he did not expect that it would be delayed for more than a month, and he could not even make it back in time for Xiao Xiang'er's birthday.
Fortunately, he still prepared a large cart of gifts for the little girl. Of course, the leftovers picked by Xiao Xiang'er can also be given to Guo Yao or Guo Xun.
"Yue Jiajun" was stationed everywhere, and Yue Ao personally stationed in Bianliang City.
The two hundred "Hu Ben Army" who followed Guo Mo to Bianliang lost more than a dozen people on the battlefield, leaving 186 people. Guo Mo directly asked them to stay in Bianliang City to protect old Cheng Jue.
Therefore, only four horses and one cart returned to Luoyang.
Guo Mo, Lu Guanying, Lu Pingsheng and Yang Guo, the big car is naturally a gift for Xiao Xiang'er.
There was not much distance from Bianliang City to Luoyang City. Even these few people were not in a hurry and entered Luoyang City before dark.
"Wow, Master, Luoyang City is so beautiful——"
It's not dark yet, and the lights are already on in Luoyang City.
Perhaps because he has lived here for two consecutive years, Guo Mo prefers this city. Of course, more importantly, because his family is also here.
"Your Highness is back——"
As soon as Guo Mo entered the "Marshal's Mansion", the "Jin Yi" on duty became excited.
"Master, why didn't you tell me in advance when you came back? After such a big victory, why should everyone come to the city gate to greet you?"
Just in time to catch up with Wu Nantian on duty, he hurried over to take over Guo Mo's horse.
Among the four people who came with him, except Guo Mo and Lu Guanying, Wu Nantian thought that the other one had been seen somewhere?
Why is there still a little kid?
“Hey, second senior brother, please bring my horse in too——”
Yang Guo jumped off the horse and said with a playful smile.
"Are you my junior brother?"
Three years was enough for Yang Guo to grow a foot taller. There was still a big difference between a five-year-old boy and an eight-year-old boy.
"Second Senior Brother, you are wrong. I am no longer Junior Junior Brother. Junior Junior Brother is that boy Yeluqi. You can call me Fifth Junior Brother."
Wu Nantian really forgot about Yelu Qi for a while, or in other words, he called Yang Guo "little junior brother" instead of Shunzui.
"Nantian, let someone else hold the war horse. You go and drive the carriage to the backyard. They are all gifts for Xiao Xiang'er, so be careful."
Well, everyone knows that Guo Mo is a maniac about doting on girls. He just entered the house and has officially gone online.
Guo Mo asked Lu Guanying to take Lu Pingsheng to Dongkuaoyuan, which now has an official name, called "Jinyi".
Wu Nantian drove the car, while Guo Mo held Xiao Yang Guo's hand and walked inside.
"Daddy, daddy, Xiang'er misses you——"
A white shadow ran over from the back house. The sound arrived before the person arrived, but Guo Mo felt that the little girl's movements seemed to be faster.
"Slow down, don't throw yourself—"
Guo Mo quickly let go of Yang Guo's hand and took two steps forward to hold Xiao Xiang'er in his arms as he came quickly.
"Meet Daddy——"
After a brief intimacy, the little girl actually jumped down on her own initiative, and then saluted Guo Mo in a decent manner.
"Haha, you little girl, who did you learn this from?"
Seeing little Guo Xiang like this, Guo Mo was really uncomfortable for a while.
"I think Sister Long is like this. Mother said, I also want to learn more from Sister Long. Ah, who is this?"
Little Guo Xiang seemed to have just realized that there was someone following her father.
"Xian'er, don't you recognize me?"
Yang Guo walked over with a smile.
Every time he saw little Guo Xiang, Yang Guo was always very happy and thought she was a very smart and cute little girl.
Even if others see her as naughty and mischievous, Yang Guo will think that maybe this is what makes her different.
"Ah, are you Brother Yang?"
Since childhood on Peach Blossom Island, Xiao Xiang'er has liked to play tricks on people, but he has never been able to succeed on Yang Guo.
Sometimes, seeing Xiao Xiang'er's "disappointed" look, Xiao Yang Guo would take the initiative to "act" stupidly.
It's a pity that in this case, Xiao Xiang'er felt that there was no challenge and it was boring.
"Wow, it's really Brother Yang. I have one more person to play with."
"Come on, Brother Yang, I will take you to meet Sister Long. She is a very good-looking sister. I think you will like her-"
After recognizing Yang Guo, Xiao Xiang'er pulled Yang Guo inside regardless, not even paying attention to her father who was left aside.
Yang Guo?
Little Dragon Girl?
Are they about to meet?
Looking at the two little figures walking away, Guo Mo suddenly realized that another pair of darlings of the times were about to meet.
After so many changes, will they still follow the same path?
