"Where did you find this?" Guo Mo asked.

"Before dinner, I went to the study to look for my father, but I didn't see anyone, and there was only this book on the book."

Huang Rong replied truthfully, and between her words, she couldn't help but reveal a trace of worry.

Guo Mo didn't speak, and came to Feng Heng with the book.

"Mother-in-law, the content of the book is very simple, and the font is also very neat, so I can see that my father-in-law is not in a hurry to leave a pen. As for why he can't say goodbye in person, but takes the form of leaving a book, I'm afraid it has something to do with this 'old man'. ”

"Maybe there is something inconvenient to say clearly, let's not worry about it, with my father-in-law's skills, I'm afraid no one can easily keep him today."

"Yes, Master, you see that Brother Guo also said so, don't even use tea and dinner like this, maybe Master is somewhere to feast with old friends."

Chen Xuanfeng also took the opportunity to persuade him, and Huang Rong hurriedly asked Tingxiang to go out to arrange dinner.

A meal is eaten quietly, nothing like this has ever happened, and there is always a hint of weirdness.

It's not good to say much, there is no stupid person here, and some words are too much, but it backfires.

"Brother Mo, you said that Daddy wouldn't have any problems, right?"

Huang Rong looked at the sleeping pair of children next to her and gently covered them with a small quilt.

Just entering April, the peach blossoms on the "Peach Blossom Island" have already bloomed.

In "Fulongju", a lot of peach trees have also been transplanted in the past two years, just to plant trees, and Guo Mo didn't bother to make another peach blossom array.

"Rong'er, this matter is indeed weird, but unfortunately I don't have a clue. A master of my father-in-law's level, I just want the 'Imperial City Division' to track it down, but I'm afraid I don't have enough power. ”

If the "Eastern Evil" Huang Yaoshi wants to hide and hide, it is estimated that no one can find out.

"However, there shouldn't be any danger, today, my father-in-law is already one of the 'Five Uniques', even if there are still some hidden sects, how many top masters can come out?"

The truth is such a truth, but Huang Rong still looks worried.

"Okay Rong'er, if you also look worried, what do you want your mother-in-law to do? Xiang'er and Yi'er are only a few months old, you can't have a problem. ”

"If you really don't worry, tomorrow I will go out with the senior brother and the second senior sister to look for it, but the chance of finding it is estimated that it is not very good."

Huang Rong is a smart person, but when she suddenly encountered such a thing, involving her father, it was inevitable that she would be messed up.

Seeing Guo Mo say this, he also felt that for a while, there was no better way to do it, so he could only do it first.

Early the next morning, Guo Mo and the others had just finished breakfast, and they came in to report after listening to the incense.

"Nanshan Qiaozi" Nan Xiren came, and there was another alien who came with him.

Guo Mo was a little surprised, the rhythm of the "Imperial City Division" every three days has been going on for half a year.

However, I just received the latest intelligence summary yesterday, why did the fourth master come over early in the morning in just one day?

"Brother Mo, let's go and meet the fourth master together, maybe something will happen."

Guo Mo had no choice but to hand the little Guo Xiang in his hand to Feng Heng, as long as this little girl was awake, she always wanted to find her father to hug her, but she was only a nine-month-old child, but she had all kinds of funny.

When the two of them came to the "Lingqing Pavilion", Nan Xiren was already drinking tea there, and there was another person sitting next to him, who was actually a Miao person.

"Elder Shi? What are you doing here? ”

Guo Mo didn't expect that the person who came with the fourth master was actually Elder Shi Ming, who he met in the "Luo Ghost Country" more than two years ago.

When Shi Ming saw Guo Mo and Huang Rong coming in, he also hurried over to greet him.

More than two years ago, they knew each other, and Guo Mo and they were still his saviors, and they were also the saviors of the entire "Luo Ghost Country".

This time, Shi Ming was ordered to send an envoy to the Great Song Dynasty, and to a large extent, it was also because of Guo Mo that this trip was triggered.

It turned out that more than a year ago, the unprecedented "martial arts" of the Great Song Dynasty led the martial arts of the whole country.

And several "protégés of the Son of Heaven" who came out of the "martial arts" have become household names.

Especially in last year's war against Jin, names such as Guo Mo, Meng Gong, Yue Ao, Yu Jie, Wang Jian, and Qin Ju resounded all over the country.

Whether it was the Dunwu training in the south of Lin'an City or the selection of cavalry outside Jiangling City, it lasted for at least half a year, and for a time it became the place where the sons and daughters of the entire Great Song Army and the hot-blooded young people yearned.

And Guo Mo, as the initiator and creator of all this, has become the focus of attention of the government and the opposition.

Now, who doesn't know that the "Dunwu Army", "Zhongshun Army" and "Jingnan Army" are already armies that can fight on the front line of the Great Song Dynasty, and they are inextricably linked with Guo Mo.

Although Guo Mofu has been idle for more than half a year, his "legend" has always been circulated among the people, and it has a tendency to become more and more intense.

Guo Mo's name naturally spread to the "Luo Ghost Country" adjacent to the Great Song Dynasty.

At first, there were no waves, until there was more information circulating, which also attracted the attention of the high-level leaders of the "Luo Ghost Country".

At this time, the lord of the "Luo Ghost Country" was none other than Ande, who was rescued by Guo Mo from the "Ten Thousand Bones Dry".

Although Ender escaped, because of so many years in prison, the foundation of his body was severely damaged, and he was a few years old, and he was no longer able to have children.

Then, An Linger naturally became the only heir to the throne.

More than a year ago, when Guo Mo was preparing for the "martial arts", in the "Luo Ghost Country" thousands of miles away, An Ling'er, who was pregnant before marriage, gave birth to a son.

It sparked heated discussions for a while, and even within the "Luo Ghost Country", several powerful tribes questioned An Ling'er's qualifications as heirs on this ground.

In the end, it was the highly respected Lan Ze High Priest who came forward and used the most mysterious divination technique of the "Luo Ghost Country" to calculate that the child born to An Linger was given by the gods.

He came to shelter the "Luo Ghost Country" and should be the future master of the "Luo Ghost Country".

Although some people are still skeptical, the Lan family's status in the "Luo Clan Ghost Country" and the influence of the Lan Ze High Priest for decades have calmed down this small turmoil.

Even, in the end, he directly changed the newborn baby as the heir to the throne of the "Luo Ghost Country".

Some people believe that his "extraordinary background" is true, and some people may think that if there is such a young master in the future, it will be more convenient to protect the interests of their tribe.

"Luo's Ghost Country" has always had the intention of becoming a vassal state of the Great Song Dynasty, but after so many years, the Great Song Dynasty has no "ambition" for external expansion, and even the "Luo's Ghost Country" has taken the initiative to accept it calmly.

Unexpectedly, in the past year or so, the Great Song Dynasty has repeatedly created a Jin army in the Lianghu area, and even recaptured the land of Deng and Tang from the hands of the Jin State.

Ander moved the mind of the above table, so this time he specially sent a delegation headed by Elder Shi Ming to bring enough jewelry, spices and other tributes to Angen.

Of course, Shi Ming has a more important task, which is to determine whether this world-famous Guo Mo is the Guo Mo who saved the "Luo Ghost Country" in danger back then.

After arriving in Lin'an, Shi Ming and the others were naturally received by the corresponding officials of the Ministry of Rites.

In private, Shi Ming took out the portrait of Guo Mo painted by An Ling'er and asked the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

Don't say it, this portrait is at least seventy percent similar to Guo Mo himself.

"Elder Shi, do you know Guo Dutong of our Great Song Dynasty?"

The officials of the Ministry of Rites were very surprised, but when they saw that the other party took out Guo Mo's portrait, they unconsciously felt a little closer.

Only as a military "metropolitan system" will it be called "a certain metropolitan system" by everyone.

Although Guo Mo was removed from the position of commander of the "Dunwu Army", in the hearts of more people, he is not only the commander of the "Dunwu Army", but also the actual ruler of the "Loyal Shun Army" and the "Jingnan Army".

Therefore, even when it comes to Guo Mo in private, he still unconsciously calls him "Guo Dutong".

When Shi Ming saw that he was an official of the Ministry of Rites, he really knew Guo Mo, and directly called him "Guo Dutong", so he knew that this hot figure was really the person he was looking for.

"It's not a secret, as early as more than two years ago, Guo Dutong was still white at that time, and he had the grace to recreate Shi and the entire 'Luo Ghost Country'. I wonder if you can tell Guo Dutong where he is? ”

Shi Ming couldn't wait to see Guo Mo, since Guo Mo had such a status now, then some words still needed to be made clear in person.

In fact, before Shi Ming came to the Great Song Dynasty, Ande and An Ling'er, father and daughter, had a secret talk with him respectively.

Yin Yin also instructed him, but what the two said was almost completely opposite.

However, Shi Ming also had his own thoughts, and he felt that he needed to tell Guo Mo about them.

"Elder Shi, maybe you don't know yet. Guo Dutong has been recuperating at home since he recovered Deng and Tang Prefectures last year, and the lower officials do not know his residence. ”

Shi Ming had no choice but to follow the arrangement of the Ministry of Rites to meet the officials of the Great Song Dynasty first.

It is rare for a foreign country to surrender to the Great Song Dynasty, and Zhao Kuo was very happy to hear about it.

In fact, the "Luo Ghost Country" is also a very powerful force in southern Xinjiang.

In order to show his attention, Zhao Kuo specially met with Shi Ming at the court meeting of the "Daqing Palace".

After a normal audience and gifts, Shi Ming, who was straightforward, still talked about Guo Mo in public.

"Qiqi Great Song Dynasty, more than two years ago, there was a rebellion within my 'Luo Ghost Country', and it happened that a hero of your country at that time, and now the 'Dunwu Army' is under the control of Guo Mo and passed by our state."

"To save my lord from danger, even in the next life, it was saved by Guo Dutong back then, and Guo Dutong has the grace of rebuilding my 'Luo Ghost Country'."

"When I came, the lord of the state of the state repeatedly explained, so that I must pay tribute to Guo Dutong in person, and give another heavy gift!"

As soon as Shi Ming said this, the civil and military forces in the entire hall were not settled.

Guo Mo's name has not appeared in everyone's ears for more than half a year, and some people have even forgotten this person.

Unexpectedly, today's envoy from the "Luo Ghost Country" shouted "Guo Dutong" one by one, and wanted to thank him in person, and actually threatened to give a "heavy gift"?

Don't you know that accepting bribes will violate the criminal law in the Great Song Dynasty?

How dare you say it in this solemn "Daqing Palace"?

Zhao Kuo was originally sitting on the dragon chair, listening to Shi Ming's New Year's greetings without money, not to mention how happy he was, who was not willing to listen to good words?

Unexpectedly, this messenger actually changed his words and began to talk about Guo Mo's coming.

That kid is still the life-saving benefactor of the "Luo Ghost Country"?

How big of a deal is that? I didn't hear that kid say it.

This needs to be dealt with, isn't it a simple foreign attachment, maybe it can become a powerful arm for that kid.

In the end, it was an official family, and in just a short period of time, he was thinking about how to operate more beneficial to his son.

"Qi Qi officials, for the ministers to impeach the outgoing 'Dunwu Army' to control Guo Mo."

When Zhao Kuo was thinking about it, a royal historian jumped out and threatened to impeach Guo Mo, what does this mean?

"Zhang Qing, it seems that Guo Mo hasn't shown up for more than half a year, what are you impeaching him for?"

Hearing that someone impeached his son, the father was naturally not happy, but Zhao Kuo still asked patiently.

"The official family, what the envoy from the 'Luo Ghost Country' just said was that Guo Mo had already been in contact with foreign countries, and now it seems that there must be some plot to participate in the 'martial arts' in the Great Song Dynasty?"

"This envoy actually claimed that he wanted to give a big gift to Guo Mo, didn't he want to give and receive the gift of the country privately? The minister asked Guo Mo to be punished. ”

Well, you can even say such a thing.

"Come, where are the warriors in the temple? Forked out this rebellious man—"

Hearing this Zhang Yushi, it was obvious that he was making trouble unreasonably and messing around, and Zhao Kuo was angry and wanted to punish him.

Later, thinking of his identity as a royal historian, he was a "rumor", and he changed it to "forked out" when he came.

With the past two years, the military has made many achievements, and the diplomacy has also become tougher, and there is no need to pay the "annual endowment" to the Jin State.

And Zhao Kuo himself has been practicing internal strength for a year and a half, especially the first "Purple Qi" of the "Jiuyang Divine Skill" passed on by Guo Mo, and he has just started recently.

Lao Zhao Kuo seems to have rejuvenated the second spring, his strength has increased greatly, and even his archery skills have grown a lot, and he can hit the arrow target a hundred steps away.

Speaking loudly and walking vigorously, the style of a generation of emperors has become more and more majestic.

Looking at the court, the important ministers who are completely loyal to themselves, not to mention half of it, at least thirty percent.

And the army that can command is the most powerful, and Zhao Kuo speaks and acts more like a real official.

Zhao Kuo's move suppressed the other Yushi who wanted to leave the class, and stood in place one by one.

"Haha, I didn't expect that there would be such a deep exchange between your two countries for a long time. I don't know what kind of gift your envoy intends to give us Guo Dutong? ”

After scolding Zhang Yushi, who was strong, Zhao Kuo looked at Shi Ming and asked with interest.

"Qiqi official's family, when he came, the lord of my state said that after seeing Guo Dutong, if he needs it, my lord is willing to give 8,000 war horses to help Commander Guo make new contributions."

What?

Eight thousand war horses?

Or is it a "gift"?

Zhao Kuo is also undecided, what a lot of money is this?

Even if you have money, you may not be able to get 8,000 war horses at once!

Last year, for a whole year, it was a whole year to use rice, armor and weapons, and all kinds of intrigues and intrigues, in exchange for 20,000 war horses from the Jin Kingdom and Western Xia.

Now, as soon as this messenger's upper lip touches his lower lip, he will give Guo Mo 8,000 war horses, what kind of face is this for that kid?

Zhao Kuo looked at the jewelry, spices and other tributes sent by the "Luo Ghost Country", and instantly felt that it was not fragrant.

"Old goods, arrange for the 'Luo Ghost Country' to come and meet our Guo Dadutong."

After a few words, Zhao Kuo couldn't wait to say it with gritting his back molars, and then got up and left the "Daqing Palace".

The old eunuch didn't dare to laugh, did this official still taste his son?

Hurriedly asked someone to inform Nan Xiren, the "Nanshan Qiaozi", and asked him to take this Elder Shi Ming to "Peach Blossom Island" to see Guo Mo.

This is how Shi Ming came here, and when he finished his brief description, Guo Mo was also a little shocked.

"Elder Shi, eight thousand war horses? Do we have a lot of war horses in the 'Luo Ghost Country'? ”

"Dian Horse" Guo Mo naturally knows, has super endurance, and is suitable for mountain walking and long-distance running.

Under the blockade of the Song Dynasty by several northern countries, in previous years, the Dian horse has been the main source of war horses of the Song Dynasty.

Even now, the actual number of cavalry in the Great Song army is close to 100,000, and the number of Yunnan horses is at least 60,000 or 70,000.

This is also because of the 60,000 people in the three armies under Guo Mo's control, more than half of the cavalry, and the 20,000 or 30,000 northern war horses were either exchanged or robbed last year.

To put it in the original, the scale of sixty or seventy thousand cavalry, the northern war horses can only be seen sporadically.

It's just that the size of the Dian horse is generally shorter, and it is very good for riding and running, and it is almost meaningless to use it in the battle between the two armies.

"Engong, there are many mountainous areas in the 'Luo Ghost Country', there are few foreign wars, and the number of war horses retained is quite large."

"It's just not easy to pick out the big ones. This time, my lord let the selected 8,000 war horses, and only about half of them can really catch up with the northern war horses. ”

"However, when it is used for long-distance running, it can be used for one person and two horses, a short run, and a high battlefield fight."

This is also a good way, the key is that 8,000 war horses are given away for free, and there is no need to spend money.

"Then Guo Mou is so grateful to Elder Shi, and when I go back, I will pay more respects to the Lord of the Order for me, as soon as 'Engong' says, Elder Shi doesn't need to mention it again."

"It's just that you sent these 8,000 war horses this time, it's really a bit big, and Guo doesn't know how to thank him."

Guo Mo was actually a little puzzled, even if he had rescued them, it would have been more than two years.

Now I'm coming to repay the favor, not to mention it a little later, the key is that this favor has to be a little exaggerated.

"Engong Guo Dutong, in fact, there is another thing, Shi didn't think about what to say."

Shi Ming looked a little embarrassed, and looked at Nan Xiren and Huang Rong sitting next to him.

"Elder Shi, don't worry, you also know this, the 'Luo Clan Ghost Country' who went with me back then is now my wife."

"And this is my mentor, and they are all Guo's closest people. If Elder Shi has anything to say, he might as well say it directly. ”

Guo Mo hurriedly explained.

It was because Shi Ming saw Huang Rong that he hesitated to say it or not, and how to say it.

Seeing Shi Ming's eyes, constantly sweeping around him, Huang Rong's heart "chuckled".

"Elder Shi, could it be that the main purpose of your visit to the Great Song Dynasty this time is to find Brother Mo?"

Huang Rong thought for a moment and asked directly.

Shi Ming was a little surprised, but nodded anyway.

"Don't hide it from Miss Huang, it's true, it was because I heard the news of Guo Dutong that my lord let Shi come all the way to the Great Song Dynasty to seek attachment. However, come to see Guo Dutong"

"Elder Shi, you came to see Brother Mo, is it the arrangement of your family lord, or is it the arrangement of Sister Ling'er?"

"What? Do you know that? ”

Huang Rong's question made Shi Ming stand up from his chair and look at Huang Rong in surprise.

He always thought that only a few people on his side knew about the incident more than two years ago, and Guo Mo and Huang Rong should be completely unaware.

At that time, it was all in order to remove the "Gu poison" on An Ling'er's body, so he had no choice but to make this decision.

If An Ling'er hadn't given birth to a child, if Guo Mo hadn't become famous in the Great Song Dynasty, or if it weren't for the sake of stabilizing this child's future throne, Shi Ming would not have come to "Peach Blossom Island" to find Guo Mo.

Looking at Shi Ming's appearance, Huang Rong knew that her guess was right, but in fact, she had doubts more than two years ago.

Seeing Guo Mo's situation at that time, Huang Rong always felt that something was wrong.

The two of them can be regarded as their life-saving benefactors, and Guo Mo did not hesitate to expend his efforts to relieve An Linger's "Gu poison".

And when they were leaving, there was no one to see them off?

What's the important thing to make Ander and An Ling'er not send their own life-saving benefactors?

It's just that Huang Rong had no evidence at that time, at best, it was just a woman's natural "sensitivity", so she wouldn't let it go, right?

Later, after leaving there, thinking that everyone would never have the opportunity to meet, as time went by, Huang Rong gradually forgot about it.

Unexpectedly, two years later, today, I met Elder Shi Ming again on the "Peach Blossom Island", and as soon as the other party made a move, it was "eight thousand" war horses, what kind of friendship is this?

Guo Mo was confused when he heard this, and looked at Huang Rong with his eyes, and then at Shi Ming.

"So, do you admit that this trip has something to do with Sister Ling'er? The gift of 8,000 war horses is also because of her, right? ”

Huang Rong asked vigorously, her tone was very peaceful, but Guo Mo heard a trace of inexplicable sadness.

"Miss Huang, you guessed this wrong. Coming to Guo Dutong is the head of my family, or rather, my idea. Ling'er just ordered that I should not disturb Guo Dutong, and the gift of 8,000 war horses was also arranged by the lord of my family. ”

Seeing Shi Ming say this, Huang Rong didn't understand again.

"I wonder, what the hell is this for?"

"Because, Ling'er gave birth to a son, who is now one year and eight months old."

"What? ——”

"Teng", Huang Rong stood up from the chair, her eyes were instantly full of tears, and her body trembled slightly.

looked at Shi Ming incredulously, his eyes revealing a hint of anger, or horror.

"Rong'er, what's wrong with you?"

Guo Mo sensed Huang Rong's strange appearance and hurriedly stepped forward to help her.

Huang Rong gently and without a trace pushed Guo Mo away.

"What's that kid's name?"

"Ann-Si-Mo"
