Chapter 42: Closing the Deal
Seeing Guo Jing's frowning and thoughtful look, Xiao Yun knew that his words had an effect on Guo Jing, and now the other party may still be entangled in something!
"As far as I know, the eighteen palms of dragon descent cultivated by Guo Daxia should have been created by a gang leader named Qiao Feng of the beggar gang in the Northern Song Dynasty, but now in the hands of Hong Qigong, the last three moves of the eighteen palms of the dragon descending have been lost, and the current eighteen palms of the dragon descending are still completed by Hong Qigong himself, but the power is greatly reduced, far less powerful than the eighteen palms of the dragon descending that Qiao Feng used back then!"
"And the "Nine Yin True Scripture" is a great internal civil official Huang Shang of the Great Song Dynasty back then, from the Taoist scriptures without a teacher, created, and later the "Nine Yin True Scripture" fell to the rivers and lakes, causing a bloody storm, and finally was obtained by Wang Chongyang of the Quanzhen Sect, Wang Chongyang handed over the "Nine Yin True Scripture" to the senior brother and old naughty boy when he was dying!"
"Guo Daxia also learned the "Nine Yin True Scripture" by chance, and the Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Descending were even deceived by the Huang Gang Leader from Hong Qigong! I don't know if what I said is right!" Xiao Yun looked at Guo Jing lightly and said leisurely.
"Yes, I didn't expect Xiao Shaoxia to know a lot when he was not very old!" Guo Jing sighed.
"Now the Mongols have wiped out almost all the countries in the steppe, the Western Regions, and the Central Plains! And as far as I know, their main forces are still attacking the alien races in the north, and it is only Kublai Khan's subordinates who have come to attack Xiangyang, and the real strength of Mongolia has not gone south, but the Southern Song Dynasty is already in danger!"
"And Guo Daxia, you still don't know how to be flexible, blindly relying on yourself, the beggar gang and some people in the rivers and lakes to defend Xiangyang and the Southern Song Dynasty! This is just drinking to quench your thirst, and it is impossible to be a long-term solution at all!" Xiao Yun squinted his eyes and said in a solemn tone.
"Hmph, what kind of drink to quench your thirst! Isn't it wrong for me to do this?" Guo Jing had a calm face and a stern expression.
He thought that he and his wife had done their best to defend Xiangyang and the Great Song Dynasty! But now Xiao Yun said that he was only drinking to quench his thirst, not a long-lasting solution, how could he not be angry!
"Haha, Guo Daxia, you and the Huang Gang Leader are now so famous in the rivers and lakes, and their status in Xiangyang is so high, but the two of you don't have any official positions, so those officials in Xiangyang City are really so generous, let you and your wife preside over the defense of Xiangyang City? The one in Lin'an City is so relieved of you?" Xiao Yun looked at Guo Jing lightly and asked.
In fact, if the imperial court fully supported Guo Jing and Huang Rong, it would not have been so hard for the husband and wife to protect Xiangyang! The Southern Song Dynasty emphasized literature and light military force, the emperor was mediocre and incompetent, the officials were arrogant and corrupt, and there were countless corrupt officials and corrupt officials.
If Guo Jing could use the "Wu Mu Testament" left by Yue Fei to boldly recruit and train an elite army, and teach a little martial arts to the soldiers, how could he not defeat the Mongols!
He was too stupid, old-fashioned and conservative! Too inflexible, which led to him dying in Xiangyang City with his wife and family in the end!
"Hmph, Xiao Shaoxia, don't talk nonsense, Guo Mou's heart is for the country, he is worthy of his heart, and the emperor will definitely fully support me!" Guo Jing held his head high and said to Xiao Yun sonorously.
"Haha, I'm afraid it's not likely! Guo Daxia, you and the Huang gang leader have been guarding Xiangyang for several years, and you have made such great achievements, can the imperial court reward and promote you? Can you recruit soldiers and horses to train the army? I'm afraid not! All this seems to be Guo Daxia's wishful thinking!"
"You have the enthusiasm to serve the country, but you have not received the respect you deserve, and you have not been recognized and supported by the imperial court! I feel sorry for you!" Xiao Yun stared at Guo Jing tightly and said bluntly.
"Don't want to talk nonsense, Guo is only doing things for the people of the Great Song Dynasty, for the sake of my Han people, why do you need the approval of others! Why do you need the reward of the imperial court!" Guo Jing said angrily to Xiao Yun.
Seeing Guo Jing's emotions so turbulent, Xiao Yun knew that his words had stabbed Guo Jing's wounds!
The mediocrity and incompetence of the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, the arrogance and corruption of hundreds of officials, and the innumerable number of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, how could Guo Jing not see all this! But what can he do? Even if he is a commoner, no matter how famous he is in the rivers and lakes! But the emperor and the hundred officials will not listen to him!
"Guo Daxia, it's better to do this! Let's make a deal! I'll help you block the Golden Wheel Dharma King and Ouyang Feng tomorrow, and then help you get the approval of the imperial court, let you get the official position of a general, and provide you with a million taels of silver for military expenses! In exchange for your "Nine Yin True Scripture" and "Eighteen Palms of Descending Dragon" cheats, how about it?" Xiao Yun frowned and said to Guo Jing solemnly.
He really wanted to help Guo Jing, and he was also very angry at the incompetence of the Southern Song Dynasty court, and he had a way to deal with those corrupt officials who had corrupted their history! He was not like Guo Jing and others, who were blindly foolish and loyal, who abided by the morality of the rivers and lakes, and who were particularly in awe of the imperial power, and did not dare to offend them in the slightest!
In his eyes, if the faint monarch is incompetent, he should abdicate as soon as possible, and if he is an official, he should get out of the way as soon as possible, and he should not occupy the pit and not shit! He plans to go to Lin'an after the martial arts conference is over.
"Hmph, what do you think Guo is wrong!Don't waste your efforts anymore!" Guo Jing calmly refused Xiao Yun in a stiff tone.
"You really think you are a hero, do you know that you often gather friends from the rivers and lakes to Xiangyang to help you defend the city, don't these people in the rivers and lakes need to spend money on food and shelter? And they come all the way to help you, all these expenses will naturally have to be paid by you! How many silver taels have you spent in the past few years? Guo Daxia, I'm afraid you won't care about this!"
"You have married a good wife, and Mrs. Huang has taken care of all these trivial matters for you in a prudent and orderly manner! But how did she carry such a big expense in the past few years! Have you ever cared about it! You only care about guarding Xiangyang and being your hero!" Xiao Yun squinted his eyes and raised his voice sharply to Guo Jing.
It's not okay if you don't give Guo Jing a little ruthlessness, otherwise Xiao Yun doesn't know when it will be consumed!
"Say no more!...... I was wrong! I'm really sorry for Rong'er for letting her suffer with me!" Guo Jing covered his ears and muttered bitterly.
Xiao Yun's words reminded him of how many nights Rong'er fell asleep with a frown, how many times she returned to Peach Blossom Island alone, he never knew why she went back, and why his father-in-law never treated him! Now after listening to Xiao Yun's words, he instantly understood everything!
Rong'er is trying not to worry about him, she has never told him about the lack of money, she must have taken the money when she returned to Peach Blossom Island, no wonder her father-in-law would not treat him!
"Hmph, looking at the Mongols' formation, I'm afraid that the Southern Song Dynasty will not give up if they don't destroy it! In this case, Guo Daxia, you may have to live in Xiangyang City for the rest of your life, and you will have to guard Xiangyang for the rest of your life! So how much money does this cost! Guo Daxia, have you considered it!"
"Have you ever given your wife a happy life? Do you want to continue to implicate her? Protecting the family and defending the country requires capital and support! Now I am helping you! But you don't appreciate it! Reading a few cheats is more important than anything else! Are you really thinking about the world and serving the country and the people?"
Xiao Yun looked down on Guo Jing the most, he only thought about the safety of Xiangyang City, and only thought about protecting the Han people, but he never took into account the feelings of the people around him!
How much did Huang Rong give up for him! Xiangyang City, which had been guarding him for more than ten years, helped him give advice, helped him take care of all trivial matters, and used all his mother's money to help her husband guard Xiangyang City! Finally, after Xiangyang City was broken by the Mongols, Guo Jing stubbornly refused to leave the people of Xiangyang to escape, causing Huang Rong, his two sons and daughters, and several apprentices to die in Xiangyang!
If he puts the peerless exercises but does not teach them to his disciples and children, he is not a good father! He is not a good husband! He is not a qualified master!
"Okay, Xiao Shaoxia, I promise to teach you the "Nine Yin True Scripture" and the "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Descent"! It should be a transaction! What you just said must be done!" Guo Jing looked at Xiao Yun with a cold expression and said.
Guo Jing's attitude made Xiao Yun angry, and he made him look like a big villain! He was indeed a little panicked in order to get the "Nine Yin True Scripture" and "Eighteen Palms of the Descending Dragon", and he was a little foolish about Guo Jing, but he really planned to help him with the conditions that were set out later, and he didn't want to watch the Southern Song Dynasty be wiped out by the Mongols, and the Han people were enslaved by foreign races!
However, Xiao Yun doesn't care anymore, as long as he gets the "Nine Yin True Scripture", he can complement the "Nine Yang Divine Skill" and cultivate all the way to the innate realm, so he doesn't have to worry about being burned by yang lust in the back!
