Chapter 211: Rushing to the North

"What?"

No matter how stupid Guo Mo is, he can hear the strangeness in it, not to mention that he is an extremely smart person.

It's just that what he can't figure out is, how did he get involved?

His eyes were staring at Elder Shi Ming in front of him, but his mind was quickly recalling the bits and pieces of everything that had happened to him after he met An Ling'er......

Could it be that the last time, when he used the "Jiuyang Divine Skill" to remove the "Golden Cicada Gu Poison" for An Ling'er?

When martial arts reach Guo Mo's level, even if he is asleep, he will be subconsciously alert to what happens around him.

On that occasion alone, he lifted the "Golden Cicada Gu Poison" for An Ling'er, but he actually exhausted the "Jiuyang True Qi", and he fainted without strength, completely unconscious.

At that time, out of unfamiliarity and "awe" of the "Golden Cicada Gu Poison", Guo Mo thought that it should be too domineering, so it was as strong as the "Jiuyang Divine Skill", and he would be tired like that.

Now, seeing the results in front of me, it is not clear where I am "calculated" by others.

"Why?"

Guo Mo stared at Shi Ming, full of incomprehension and even resentment.

"Hey, Guo Dutong, it's hard to say-"

At this point, it is useless to conceal it.

Shi Ming could see that although Guo Mo looked harmless to humans and animals on weekdays, he was full of pride and stubbornness in his bones.

And Guo Mo's attitude and feelings towards Huang Rong could be seen more than two years ago.

Now, if there is a lot of treatment, it is possible to make the entire Shuixian clan, and even the "Luo Ghost Country", fall into a situation from which they will never recover.

Shi Ming is not a fool, Guo Mo's own unfathomable martial arts have made people unable to have the courage to resist.

During this trip to the Great Song Dynasty, especially on the "Daqing Palace", Shi Ming could also feel the attitude of the Great Song Dynasty officials, Guo Mo's influence and energy in the Great Song Dynasty.

There was no concealment, no prevarication and exaggeration, Shi Ming just retold the scene of the year as it was.

There were four people in "Ling Qing Pavilion", Shi Ming was narrating the plot of the year eloquently, and Guo Mo and Huang Rong both listened carefully.

"Nanshan Qiaozi" Nan Xiren, sitting next to him is the most embarrassing.

He originally came to Guo Mo for something, but it happened that the official family asked him to bring this envoy from the "Luo Ghost Country" to come with him, and he was Guo Mo's friend, so Nan Xiren agreed very happily.

When I first saw Guo Mo, I didn't have to say anything about him, but I heard such an unbelievable thing.

He is Guo Mo's master, and as an elder, he doesn't know how to get involved, especially when Guo Mo has already married a wife and had children.

Nancy Ren couldn't wait for it, she never knew about it, at least not when she heard it at the scene, and she wouldn't be so embarrassed.

The whole thing, no one seems to have made a mistake.

For the sake of his daughter's life, Lan Ze and Shi Ming are also considered to be the protectors, but what about An Ling'er?

From Shi Ming's narration, who can still hear that she is not only eager to live, but also reveals a girl's appreciation and love for Guo Mo everywhere.

"Ansmer—"

The crux of everything boils down to giving birth to a child, or a child named "Simo".

But is the child at fault?

The taste is self-evident.

Shi Ming had finished speaking, and he was secretly relieved.

He is not only the messenger of the "Luo Ghost Country", not only because Guo Mo once saved his life, but more importantly, Shi Ming is alone, and he can be regarded as bringing An Linger up single-handedly.

From the bottom of his heart, this slightly rugged middle-aged man is really "distressed" by An Ling'er.

In the past, it was "distressed" An Ling'er who was "distressed" by the "Golden Cicada Gu Poison", but now she is even more "distressed" An Ling'er, who is alone with her children, and she can't say it to others.

Inside the "Ling Qing Pavilion", it was quiet, and several 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 appearance.

He didn't know how to reply to Shi Ming, and he didn't even dare to face it when he saw the expectation in the other party's eyes.

"Sister Ling'er is a poor person, you should have found it earlier."

Huang Rong's voice came from behind him, which was a little calm.

"Rong'er, I ......"

Guo Mo didn't know what to say, but he felt that he should say something.

"Brother Mo, I know the whole thing, I know that you yourself can't help yourself, if you want to blame it, blame fate for it, 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, what the lord of my family means is to hope that the 'Luo Ghost Kingdom' can be attached to the Great Song Dynasty."

"The child's surname will always be An, and he will also be the lord of the 'Luo Ghost Country' in the future, I hope Guo Dutong can be fulfilled."

I understand, Shi Ming's intention or "Luo's Ghost Country" is very clear, and personal feelings must eventually be conceded for the interests of the country.

Guo Mo felt a little lost in his heart, is this a "political marriage"?

To be honest, Guo Mo doesn't have any feelings for An Ling'er, and even the current Guo Mo can't clearly remember An Ling'er's appearance.

However, she was also her own woman, and she gave birth to a son of her own.

"Elder Shi, this matter is indeed a bit surprising to me, and for a while, Guo can't promise you anything."

"What the 'Luo Ghost Country' asks for the Great Song Dynasty, Guo will definitely try his best to maneuver, and Elder Shi can rest assured."

"If you want to deepen the exchanges between the two countries, whether it is bilateral trade, or in exchange for grain and cloth, or even send people to Lin'an to study, the Great Song Dynasty can also send people over to guide you in farming."

"'Luo's Ghost Country' but there is an invasion of foreign enemies, the Great Song Dynasty will also send troops to protect each other, and these Guo Mou will also play to the officials one by one, and they should all be approved."

Shi Ming listened to it in a daze, he didn't expect Guo Mo to promise so much, the question was whether his promise worked?

Guo Mo seemed to see Shi Ming's doubts, reached out and took out the gold medal from his arms, and smiled.

"To tell you the truth, my real name is 'Zhao Hao', and I am the 'King of Yan' of the Great Song Dynasty, so I put forward these promises, and Elder Shi can fully believe them."

"However, with my identity, Elder Shi should not let too many people know for the time being, and when the time comes, it will naturally be daylight."

"What?" Shi Ming was completely stunned.

Before coming to Lin'an, Shi Ming still did some homework, and he still knew a little about the changes in the government and opposition in the Great Song Dynasty in recent years.

"Dunwu Army" Guo Mo and His Royal Highness "King Yan" are all extremely prominent figures.

Unexpectedly, these two turned out to be one person, or people who have a close connection with their "Luo Ghost Country".

Shi Ming thought about it for a while, and felt that there might be a bigger secret here, but the greater Guo Mo's energy, the more support his "Luo Clan Ghost Country" would naturally get.

"Guo Dutong rest assured, Shi Ming knows the depths, except for the lord of the country and Princess Ling'er, if Shi Ming reveals the identity of Dutong to the fourth person, he will be killed by the 'Ten Thousand Gu Heart'."

In order to show his determination, Shi Ming actually made such a poisonous oath.

Guo Mo didn't stop him, everyone talked about the interests of the two countries, and unconsciously diluted their personal feelings.

Guo Mo didn't know whether to rejoice or laugh at his "indifference".

Everyone seems to be deliberately avoiding it, or this way of dealing with it is the best in front of them.

"Shijie, are you outside?"

Guo Mo shouted outside the "Ling Qing Pavilion".

"Master, what do you command?"

Zhang Shijie heard Guo Mo's call and hurriedly entered the hall.

"You go to the 'Yuying Hall' and take a copy of the 'Seven Styles of the Great Desert' exercises from the bookshelf, and a full set of 'Rising Sun and Sunset Palm' cheats."

After listening to this, Zhang Shijie turned around and left.

"Elder Shi, it's my eldest apprentice who just went out, this time you bring back two cheats, it can be regarded as a gift from me to the child. When he's six years old, I'll send someone to enlighten him. ”

"After you go back, you can ask Lord An if you would like to send an army over? The number of men is not too large, 5,000 soldiers are good, and the age is between eighteen and twenty-five. ”

"I'll train people rigorously, and I'll take them with me to the battlefield. Two years later, 2,000 of them were sent back as the children's personal guards. ”

Guo Mo said leisurely that seeking his own government in his position is to tie the two countries more tightly, which can be regarded as taking into account both public and private interests.

Even, Guo Mo had already thought about it, and he wanted the four masters to start planting and developing, and the people of the "Imperial City Division" would enter the "Luo Ghost Country".

"Guo Dutong's words, Shi will definitely bring it, I believe that the lord of my family will not disappoint Guo Dutong."

Shi Ming was very excited, originally thinking that he would be able to meet Guo Mo this time, and be able to complete the attachment of the "Luo Ghost Country" to the Great Song Dynasty, even if it was a perfect completion of this trip.

Who would have thought that this Guo Mo's identity would be so amazing, so the safety of the "Luo Ghost Country" in the next few decades would naturally be guaranteed.

Shi Ming left with two martial arts cheats and with full satisfaction, accompanied by relevant personnel to carry out the next handover of the war horse.

According to Guo Mo's meaning, the war horse did not need to be sent to Lin'an, and was directly distributed to the three departments of the "Dunwu Army", "Jingnan Army", and "Zhongshun Army".

After all, these are all war horses that belong to Guo Mo's private people, 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, and he wanted to give her a satisfactory explanation, but he never knew how to say it.

"Brother Mo, I said it, all this may be due to fate, you don't need to blame yourself."

"Fourth Master, do you have something?"

Huang Rong didn't want to dwell on this matter anymore, after all, it was not something that could tell who was right and who was wrong, and when she saw Nan Xiren, who was still sitting on the side, she quickly changed the topic.

"Mo'er, Rong'er, there is indeed something to be a teacher, but seeing Mo'er like this, I don't know if it's appropriate to talk to him again."

Guo Mo looked at the way the fourth master wanted to speak and stopped, and knew that it was not a simple matter.

Nan Xiren's personality, Guo Mo knows too well, he is a responsible person, not a special thing, generally he will not open his mouth to himself.

"Fourth master, why are you polite to me? You are my master, I am your apprentice, if the apprentice does something wrong, you will beat and scold, what is not suitable to say to me? ”

Guo Mo attaches great importance to and cherishes the feelings of the "Seven Monsters of Jiangnan", without them, he may not be in this world a long time ago, let alone get to where he is today.

"Mer, there have just been two pieces of news from the north, one is that the Mongol army suddenly launched an offensive on the northern front a month ago. Instead of attacking Western Xia, the 50,000 Mongol army was taken by surprise, led by Mu Huali, and directly attacked the Jin State, which was already approaching Juyong Pass. ”

"The Emperor of Jin moved the capital in a hurry and ran to Bianliang, but he did not dare to recall the hundreds of thousands of troops sent to Western Xia, so he had to transfer the garrison on the Song-Jin border again. This was already ten days ago. ”

"Another piece of news, a team of three hundred people, coming from the desert, seems to be chasing and killing people behind. After entering the territory of the Jin State, the Jin State also sent troops to intercept it. ”

"This group of people is extremely fierce, and they just broke out of the cavalry of the two or three thousand Jin Kingdom. The people of the Imperial City Division, seeing that there are men and women in this group, and there are children, and some people seem to see the figure of your second master. ”

"Guess for the teacher, could it be your mother who came back from the desert. It's just that in the Jin Kingdom, the strength of our 'Imperial City Division' is too weak, and we can't find out clearly for a while. ”

Nan Xiren said, and he was a little anxious.

The current trend is completely beyond Guo Mo's cognition, whether it is the Mongol army to attack the Jin State, or this group of people from the desert.

In another time and space, the Mongol army first destroyed Western Xia and then Goryeo before launching a full-scale war against the Jin state.

At that time, Temujin had already died, and the time for Ögedai's large-scale crusade against the Jin State 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 Mongolia succeeded for a while, it would not be possible to destroy the Jin State in a short period of time.

And those three hundred people, if they were the second masters, they might be in danger at any time.

"When they passed through the central capital, Jinting had already evacuated, and after encountering the Jin army in Yizhou, they broke through and went southwest, possibly taking the line of Baozhou and Xiangzhou."

At this time, there was still a gap between the place name and the memory in Guo Mo's heart, and he thought about it for a long time.

"Rong'er, it seems that I have to go in person, it is likely that my mother and they are back. I brought the senior brother and the second senior sister over, and it was more convenient for people to move. ”

"Fourth master, since the Jin Kingdom has withdrawn to Bianjing, the east and north will definitely be well defended. If I receive them, I can only cross the Yellow River and go south through Henan Fu and Ruzhou. ”

"After you leave, you will report the whole matter to the official family, and let the Ministry of Rites note Jin Guo, don't hunt down this group."

"I believe that the people of the Jin Kingdom may not be able to pay attention, in the name of His Royal Highness the 'King of Yan', let the three armies of 'Dunwu', 'Jingnan', and 'Zhongshun' each send 10,000 cavalry to take Ruzhou to meet us."

"The three armies are headed by Meng Heng, and the specific combat operations are arranged by him in a unified manner, and everyone must follow the order, otherwise they will be dealt with by military law."

Nancy Ren wrote them down one by one, but he was still not at ease.

said that after doing everything, he would personally select more than 100 "Imperial City Division" players and follow this route to pick them up.

"Rong'er, the family depends on you."

It just so happened that at this time, the "Eastern Evil" Huang Yaoshi was not there, and he was going to go out again.

Let others pass, Guo Mo is really not at ease, thinking about the ending of his mother Li Ping in another time and space, Guo Mo is afraid of the "powerful inertia" in the dark.

If the same ending happens, Guo Mo really doesn't know how to face it.

"Brother Mo, I said at that time that I would go to the desert to see my mother together, but now I can only break my promise."

Huang Rong didn't stop him, and it was impossible to stop him, but he couldn't fulfill his promise, which was somewhat uncomfortable.

"Silly girl, there are so many people in the family who need you to take care of, especially the two children are only a few months old, your burden is not light, everything is waiting for me to come back."

At this time, the "Black Wind Twins" had been notified, and the two packed up and stopped and came to "Fulongju" to wait.

Just as the three were about to board the ship and leave, three more men came from behind, beating horses.

"Master—"

"Master—"

"Master—"

It turned out that Guo Mo's three apprentices arrived, and I saw that these three little ones were wearing samurai robes on the outside, lined with thin armor on the inside, carrying their own handy weapons, and immediately hanging a small baggage.

"What are you doing here?"

Guo Mo seemed to realize something, and still asked.

The three children looked at each other, and in the end, it was the senior brother Zhang Shijie who stepped forward to answer with courage.

"Master Qiqi, I heard that the master and the two uncles went to pick up my grandmother to return to the south, and the three of us are also willing to go with the master."

Seeing Nanqin next to him, he turned his back and secretly wiped his tears, Guo Mo knew that the three children already knew what would happen next.

The immature faces have already caught up with the height of adults.

Originally, Guo Mo wanted to refuse them, but Huang Rong spoke on the side.

"Brother Mo, just let the three of them follow, the young eagles will grow up after all, you can't let them just work behind closed doors all day long. With you, can't you protect them? ”

Well, since Huang Rong said so, Guo Mo didn't insist on his opinion anymore.

"You three can go out with you, if anyone is disobedient on the way, just roll me back."

Pretending to have a black face, he set up the master's shelf and scolded.

In this way, Guo Mo and his entourage, old and young, got on a big boat and left the "Peach Blossom Island".

There was nothing to say all the way, go to Jiaxing, Yangzhou, cross the Huaishui, and enter the territory of Jinguo.

Guo Mo could feel that the Jin garrison on the Song-Jin border had decreased significantly, and he was still a little worried in his heart.

From the bottom of his heart, Guo Mo didn't want the Jin State to be defeated too quickly, and if he could resist the Mongol army more, the Great Song Dynasty would be able to make more preparations.

When he entered Huaibei, Guo Mo contacted the rudder of the beggar gang and met an acquaintance.

Yu Zhaoxing, the nephew of Li Sheng, the "Jiangdong Snake King", is already a six-bag disciple of the Beggar Gang in his twenties, and he can be regarded as a rising star in the gang.

Now he also followed Li Sheng to the Jin Kingdom, and was in charge of a branch of the Beggar Gang, and the entire disciples of the Beggar Gang in Huaibei were under his leadership.

"It turned out that Guo Du had arrived, Yu Zhaoxing was far away, I don't know what the beggars can do for you?"

Yu Zhaoxing is a person who understands, this is the younger brother of his own helper, his martial arts are boundless, and he is a figure who calls for wind and rain in the Great Song Army, so he can't be lazy.

"Master Yu Duo is polite, Guo passed by here and wanted to know about the situation of the Jin garrison here."

Seeing that Guo Mo was asking this, he didn't dare to inquire deeply, but just told him everything he knew.

Sure enough, as Guo Mo expected, the Jin State moved the capital to Bianjing, and the entire Jin State's army was roughly divided into three parts.

In the northwest, there were more than 100,000 allied troops with Western Xia; In the northern Great Wall and the central capital, there are also more than 100,000.

The remaining elites are all gathered on the north bank of the Yellow River, protecting Bianliang, and there are also hundreds of thousands of troops.

On the Song-Jin border, the entire Huaihe defense line is less than 40,000 horses, and it is still distributed on the border defense line of one or two thousand miles, which is a full 100,000 fewer soldiers and horses than before.

Regardless of the combat strength, in terms of the number of troops, the Jin State is indeed a behemoth.

Guo Mo asked Yu Zhaoxing to record the news in detail, send someone to Lin'an, and hand it over to the shopkeeper of the "Sanyuan Building".

Without further delay, he continued to travel northwest.

Most of the places they passed through were the places where ancient Yuzhou was located, that is, Henan in later generations.

The land of the Central Plains has always been a battleground for soldiers.

Especially after the Jin State broke through Bianliang, the entire Song Dynasty crossed to the south, and many of the Central Plains Wang clans also moved south, which sucked away too much of Yuzhou's spirit at once.

It was originally the hinterland of the country, but in the past few decades, it has become a battlefield between the two countries, the productive forces have suffered serious damage, and the overall economic situation is much worse than that of the Great Song Dynasty.

Along the way, I encountered several robbers, and even one time it was more than 100 soldiers of the Jin Kingdom.

didn't need Guo Mo to make a move, the three energetic boys sent them away.

To deal with ordinary robbers, Guo Mo also instructed them not to hurt people's lives as much as possible.

treats Jin Bing less politely.

After killing dozens of Jin soldiers in a row, the remaining remnants of the soldiers scattered and fled.

These three boys, who didn't have the time to catch up, jumped off their horses one by one, and each found a place to vomit "wow".

After all, the first time I killed someone, I still killed so many.

After all, they are only thirteen or fourteen-year-old children, and after that excitement, they can't help it anymore.

Chen Xuanfeng was also "old and improper", laughing at the three boys on the side, and was glared at fiercely by Guo Mo.

After vomiting for a long time, until there was no way to vomit, Guo Mo took them and found a small river, and let the three boys jump in and wash it.

After changing into clean clothes again, the faces of several people were still a little pale, and only Hu Yande was slightly excited.

"Master, it feels so good to kill someone!"

Well, this kid actually has this tendency, in fact, he killed people a year and a half ago, when he didn't know martial arts.

"Alright, let's take a break, have a quick bite to eat, and we must get out of here at once."

"Dozens of Jin soldiers were removed just now, and once a large group of people is ushered in, it will cause unnecessary trouble."

For Guo Mo, there is no danger or danger, and when he encountered a team of golden soldiers, he just let a few apprentices open the meat, saving the chain at a critical time.

It's just that after killing dozens of soldiers, Guo Mo even selected six good war horses from them, and each of them had an extra horse to spare.

Seeing that Guo Mo said it seriously, Hu Yande didn't dare to make a mistake.

The six of them brought enough dry food, dried meat, and water, and tried to choose a path where no one was around.

After walking for three days in a row, they didn't meet anyone, let alone the chasing soldiers, and everyone was a little relieved.

On this day, when everyone was resting beside a forest, Guo Mo inexplicably felt a trace of danger.

"Attention, everyone, there is a situation."

The "Black Wind Twins" hurriedly flew up the tree, put his hands on the pergola and looked at it on three sides, but he didn't find anything unusual.

As they were about to descend, they faintly saw puffs of smoke and dust rising from the distance on the east and west sides.

At the time of the tea, the smoke and dust became bigger and bigger, and a large number of cavalry troops roared in, and it was too late for everyone to escape.

The "Black Wind Twins" jumped down from the tree, each with a sword, and protected it on the left and right sides of the two horns.

The three children also got on their horses one after another, each took off a spear from the winning hook of the bird's wing ring, Hu Yande rushed forward, Zhang Shijie and Wu Nantian were separated from each other on the left and on the right.

In an instant, these five people actually protected Guo Mo in the safest position.

Guo Mo couldn't help but be a little funny, and felt full of emotion, these three stinky boys actually knew to protect the master?

In a short time, at least two thousand horsemen roared to the front and surrounded several of them.

There is a big flag in the center, with the word "Wanyan" written on it, and the words "Zhennan Army Festival Envoy" next to it, and one of its generals stands on horseback.

The person who came was about forty years old, less than fifty years old, but his face was like a silver basin, his appearance was dignified, and he looked like a Confucian general, which made people daunting at first sight, and he was a great general!

Guo Mo also flew on the yellow horse, and the horse went to the front, jumped over Huyande and came to the front of the two armies, and shouted.

"Who's coming?"

The general, who didn't expect that the other party's six people would be fearless when they saw their two thousand troops.

The defensive position was set up in an instant, and a young man in front of him actually hit a horse and shouted in battle?

The general also urged him to step forward, there are so many people here, there is no reason to be afraid of the other party's only six people, not to mention that he is also a veteran general who has fought for half his life.

Although he was squeezed out of Caizhou, in the position of the envoy of the Zhennan Army, he was passive and slack, unwilling to be the enemy of the Song army, but it did not mean that he could not wield the big knife in his hand.

"Young man, you killed dozens of my sergeants?"

The general stared at Guo Mo for a long time, and asked leisurely.

"Sergeant? A group of bandits in military uniforms are just killing them for the sake of heaven. ”

Guo Mo faced the questioning of the other side, and slightly exuded the momentum on his body, and dozens of people in the front row of the Jin Army felt a cold killing intent.

"Old man Wanyan Zhongyuan, Your Excellency is not a nameless person, do you dare to tell your name?"

"What? Are you Guo Zhongyuan of the 'Flower Hat Army'? ”
