Chapter 3 All Living Beings IV
readx;? Chapter 3: All Living Beings (4)
Guo Yunming stood behind the side of the ship, his body slowly rotating with the rotation of the big ship, and his eyes were always staring at the dark wilderness on the shore without blinking, as if a fierce beast would pounce on him at any time in the wilderness and pounce on his throat.

The enemy is still on the shore, watching everyone leave! No matter how sneering the Wagang people are, no matter how clever Han Chongyun is, he, Guo Yunming, still firmly believes in his previous judgment.
This is an intuition he developed after countless rolls in the sea of corpses and blood. As long as danger approaches, between his eyebrows and at the end of the bridge of his nose, there will be a faint numbness. On many occasions at critical moments, this instinct saved their lives. Therefore, Guo Yunming will never believe it, but this time, his intuition is actually wrong!
That's impossible!
Even if Han Chongyun didn't lie, it was really he who took the initiative to contact Yu Siwen and other Wagang thieves, and personally planned the entire action plan. It still can't be proved that the opponent behind the night curtain does not exist.
The reason why this person has not made a move for a long time is just that he has not found the right time.
As soon as the opportunity approached, this person would definitely suddenly emerge from the inky darkness and bare sharp fangs into everyone's throat!
The tingling sensation at the end of the bridge of his nose was so intense that Guo Yunming didn't dare to relax at all. However, to his great disappointment, it was not until the big boat crossed the middle of the river that the south bank was completely left behind. The enemy, hidden in the darkness, still did not appear.
The dew that had fallen on the sand slowly but clearly disappeared before his eyes. Disappeared cleanly, leaving not even a trace of superfluity.
"Changshi, go back to the cabin, it's windy on the river!" Li Wenfeng, the head of the capital, stepped forward with dark blue eyes and whispered advice.
Under the influence of Guo Yunming, he also stood on the deck for half an hour with full vigilance, and now he is extremely tired both mentally and physically.
"You go down first, and I'll look around again. Guo Yunming smiled friendlyly, and the blood stains on his face kept beating with the swaying lights.
"Yes!" Li Wenfeng took the order, but he didn't dare to really run into the cabin to rest. The dignified commander of the army is still patrolling the night, how can he, a little capital, have the courage to hide and be lazy?
"You're welcome, I'm telling the truth! At present, it is estimated that in more than half an hour, the ship will be able to dock on the north shore. When we get ashore, let's rotate with each other!" "When you don't want to do anything to harm people, Guo Yunming will become very generous and considerate. Seeing that Li Wenfeng was reluctant to move, he smiled and continued to add.
"Subordinates obey orders!" This time, Li Wenfeng, the head of the capital, did not continue to entangle the gap between the positions of the two sides. He saluted again and ran briskly into the cabin.
Guo Yunming smiled at his back in a friendly manner, slowly moved his steps, and walked to the stern. His eyes turned to the south bank of the Yellow River, which normal people could no longer see clearly, and re-established himself as a sculpture.
The tingling sensation at the end of the bridge of the nose is still there, which indicates that the opponent has not left. This group of people is very patient, but Guo Yunming believes that in the world, there are few people who can be more patient than himself.
Because, in this world, no one who can achieve his position has experienced more hardships than him.
Although, at present, he considers himself a descendant of Guo Ziyi, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, and he also climbed into the clan with Guo Jin, the envoy of the Juzhou Festival. However, he clearly remembered that he was originally an orphan, and for as long as he could remember, he did not know who his parents were. And the surname Guo originally came from an old beggar.
The old beggar had adopted a dozen orphans like him, not out of kindness, but out of the need to take advantage of the orphans' young age and win the sympathy of the people, so that he could beg for more food and money on his behalf.
At least half a liter of rice per day, or three copper plates. If the task cannot be completed after dark, what awaits the little beggars is wicker, boards, and even iron rods.
Guo Yunming once saw with his own eyes that the old beggar broke the legs of a girl who had failed to complete the task for five consecutive days with an iron rod. He then sold it for fifty deni to another leader of the rotten-nosed beggars, who and the poor girl went to the next city to beg in the guise of father and daughter.
Children with disabilities can always win more sympathy. For the next three months or even six months, the girl was a cash cow for the rotten-nosed beggar. As for whether that daughter will be left with a lifelong disability, no one will think about it anymore. Usually, a little beggar with a broken leg will not live for more than half a year at most. And at that time, the rotten nose who has earned enough dozens of times the "cost" can take the money and go to another city to buy a "daughter", break her leg or arm, and continue his plan to make a fortune!
Guo Yunming didn't dare to imagine what he would look like after breaking his leg, so he tried his best every day when he begged. If the task is not completed when it is almost dark, he will no longer hold the pedestrian's thighs and beg for help, but find a way to steal and cheat! Even if he is beaten again and again for stealing and fraud, at least those people will not break his leg alive because of the loss of a few copper coins.
Even if the day's harvest is good, he doesn't dare to go to bed too early. Every time, his eyes were half-open, and it wasn't until the old beggar surnamed Guo snored that he dared to relax his vigilance a little.
Because he is more beautiful than any beggar around him, and for orphans who have no power to protect themselves, it is God's punishment. When those beggar leaders are furious, they don't care whether the little beggars under them are male or female. Sometimes, ruining a boy who is desperately struggling to resist is more blood-pumping than ruining an orphan girl.
However, he was still a child at that time. No matter how patient you are, you can't compare to an adult.
So, in the middle of the night, when he was awakened by the sudden pain, the whole world changed color.
Since then, he has never lost in comparison with others.
Because he has lost and has nothing to lose!
According to common sense, a fatherless and motherless beggar like him rarely has the opportunity to grow up. But fortunately, one day, Guo Yunming stole a dagger while stealing a thief.
The dagger came from a drunken boy, very short, but unusually sharp, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is sharpened like clay.
That night, Guo Yunming hid the dagger under the stone before returning to the ruined temple. So that it was not like a copper coin, which was searched by the old beggar.
In the middle of the night, when the old beggar, as usual, came to him again drunken and tried to relive the "friendship between master and apprentice", he slit the man's throat with the dagger.
There have been endless wars for many years, and there are many beggars and homeless people everywhere.
There are hundreds of beggars who freeze to death every winter, and the government never pays attention to them.
But when a beggar leader who regularly paid his commissions was killed, the magistrate's spirit was immediately stirred.
The case was cracked, and Guo Yunming, a criminal, was also arrested, and the evidence was conclusive.
It was at this time that the lucky star shone on him for the first time.
The original owner of the dagger knew about him when the officials asked him for credit with the "lost property". With a letter, he changed from a serious murderer to a young righteous man.
Of course, the young righteous man can no longer be a beggar, so Guo Yunming has a new identity, changes his surname to Fan, and follows the original owner of the dagger as a scholar.
It's just that he, a scholar, is not only responsible for serving the original owner of the dagger to read. The latter is the eldest son of Fan Huirou, the envoy of Hedong, and has great ambitions since childhood. Under his hands, at least hundreds of fatherless, motherless, and lawless orphans like Guo Yunming are raised. Rigorous training every day for future needs.
It's a pity that this Fan Dagongzi's ability is far less than his ambition. Before he could put the dead soldiers he had raised to good use, the mansion of the Hedong envoy was already surrounded by heavy troops. Fan Huirou's whole family was executed, and all the property slaves were confiscated. Fan Yunming, who is ostensibly a scholar, is also one of the confiscated items.
Immediately, the lucky star shone on him again.
As a confiscated item, he was rewarded to Liu Zhiyuan, the envoy of Zhu Zhou's festival, who is now the king of Han.
Liu Zhiyuan is a descendant of the Shatuo people, and he likes to ride horses and hunt. The falcons that assist in tracking the target alone have more than a dozen at home, each of which is worth more than a thousand gold.
And when a slave is old and weak, he can never get more than two severance pay.
The only exception is the slave who serves the falcon, even if he is old and frail, he can still get a share of the support in the house.
The old eagle slave needs to constantly train disciples for the Jiedu Embassy, so that after his death, the falcon will not be left unattended.
So, an eagle slave named Guo Er suddenly became kind and accepted the handsome Fan Yunming as an apprentice.
From that day on, he began to take the surname Guo again. And he was loved by the Master.
Every night, the master and apprentice slept on their feet.
A year later, Guo Yunming learned all the skills of the eagle slave Guo Er.
A year and a half later, Eagle Slave Guo Er fell on the side of the road and fell unconscious while going out drunk. Covered by heavy snow and frozen to death!
Guo Yunming inherited the vacancy of the master and became the youngest and most outstanding eagle slave in the Jiedu Embassy.
The falcon he trained was the best in the entire Jiedu Embassy and even in the entire Hedong. There is no way not to attract the attention of Liu Zhiyuan.
Then, he changed from raising a falcon to a horse boy who was a festival envoy, a personal servant, and the second steward of the inner house, so he climbed step by step to the position of the criminal scrivener, and cleared his identity step by step, from a slave to a good family, and after the famous family, step by step became Guo Changshi, who is now both civil and military.
The hardships and costs paid during this period are not enough for outsiders to elaborate.
However, Guo Yunming clearly knows that the fact that he can have all this is closely related to his unparalleled endurance.
He used to be more patient with the falcons raised in the Jiedu Envoy's house, and he didn't eat or move for days and nights, just staring at each other's eyes. Until the falcon could not hold it up, it took the lead in hanging its proud head and obediently went to drink and eat.
He once tied a rooster with a bleeding leg under a tree and squatted on it himself for days and nights. Until a red fox that he had been eyeing for a long time lost his vigilance and came out of the cave to kill the rooster, and then he was caught with a net and captured alive. In the end, it became Liu Zhiyuan's favorite leather collar for his concubine.
Patience and vigilance have made him who he is and given him his current identity and status.
He had to use his patience and vigilance to dig out the true face of that opponent in the dark night on the South Bank.
Staring, staring, not blinking, he was like a real wooden carving, never moving a single inch.
The blood flow all over his body almost stopped, and his pale face was almost numb by the night wind. I don't know how long it was, but suddenly, a few fires lit up on the south bank of the Yellow River.
It was very faint, like a ghost fire in the middle of a summer night, and quickly rolled up the river beach, and then, quickly went away.
At the same time, behind the rolling waves, there were faint sounds of cranes. Like the autumn wind sweeping through the leaves of the reeds, they are slender and long.
It is Tong Huji, Guo Yunming, who commanded the falcon for Liu Zhiyuan, and is very familiar with this. Even if it is faint, it can be distinguished.
The copper beard was the most commonly used contact item for the Shatuo people when they went to war.
Today, there are only two teams under the command of the world's heroes who still maintain many of the habits of the Shatuo clan.
One is Liu Zhiyuan, a Shatuo man who once served under the command of Mingzong of the Later Tang Dynasty, and is now the king of Han.
The other is the fourth son of Li Cunxian, the adopted son of Taizu of the Later Tang Dynasty, Li Yanqing.
A few years ago, in order to avoid suspicion, he restored his surname as a symbol, and was awarded the title of Xuzhou Festival Envoy, Duke of Qi.
