In the early morning, the morning sun rises, and the silvery white dawn gradually turns to crimson. Wisps of cooking smoke float from the roofs of every house. The smoke and light mist envelope the quiet countryside. Since the villagers of Niujia Village began to make preserved eggs, the purses around their waists Gradually, the swelling grew, and the original two meals a day became three meals a day.
The stars were shining brightly last night, but the moon was just a crescent moon, and some subtle traces could not be seen clearly. So when it was dark, Guo Jing went out to investigate again, but unfortunately he still found nothing this time.
When he came back, all the clothes on his body were wet with dew. Originally, using his martial arts skills to steam dry the clothes using his internal power was just a simple task, but he seemed to have forgotten about it until Huang Rong reminded him.
Huang Rong had a lot of heart, and she knew at a glance that Guo Jing's trip had failed again. She analyzed it carefully last night and already had several suspects in her mind.
The first suspect is her father Huang Yaoshi. Her father has a history of stalking secretly, and that happened last night. How could he have the nerve to show up? If he is really her father, it may not be confirmed for a long time. .
The second suspect is Shi Tianfeng, the owner of Ling'ao Island. This martial arts idiot has repeatedly entered Peach Blossom Island without permission. He always wants to have a fight with his father and brother Jing. It cannot be ruled out that he got the news and came to the door. If If it were him, he would definitely come to visit again in the next two days.
The third suspect is Xiao Qianjue, who is a descendant of the Liao Kingdom and is now loyal to Mongolia. A few years ago, when Tuo Lei was still alive, he came to win over Tuo Lei with good intentions. Although Guo Jing grew up in Mongolia, Big, but he is a Han. He had already drawn a clear line with Mongolia many years ago. The two parties broke up on bad terms that time. As Zhebie and Tuo Lei passed away one by one, Guo Jing's relationship with Mongolia became increasingly weak. If I can't keep the whole Wokuotai, what are my thoughts?
The fourth suspect is Ouyang Feng, and he is also the one with the least suspicion. It is a fact that Ouyang Feng is crazy. Can you still expect a madman to understand ethics?
If these four people are not the ones, then Huang Rong can only use the stupidest method and wait for the rabbit. But with the name of Brother Jing, the rabbit is probably frightened, and it is not sure whether he can wait.
The Yang family's breakfast is very simple, including porridge, steamed buns, and pickles. The originally ordinary snacks turned into magic through Li Jie's hands, but they exuded a different kind of charm. Even gourmet Huang Rong was full of praise for it.
During the dinner, Guo Jing took the opportunity to propose to Mu Nianci the idea of accepting Li Jie as his disciple. Mu Nianci knew Guo Jing's status in the world and was obviously interested, but she did not agree and asked instead. Li Jie’s opinion.
"Guo'er, what do you think?"
Mu Nianci's reaction surprised Guo Jing and his wife. They didn't expect that Li Jie had such a high status in the family, and Mu Nianci had to ask for his opinion even on this matter. In their eyes, although Li Jie performed well, After all, he is still a child.
Li Jie had already made up his mind, but Guo Jing's status in the martial arts was quite high. If he let out the news about accepting disciples, the people who came to be his disciples would be like the crucian carp crossing the river. Rejecting him directly would be a loss of face for him, not to mention Huang Rong was still present at this moment, but she had never been a generous person.
"Uncle Guo, now the mountains and rivers of the Song Dynasty are broken, there are traitors inside, and there are Mongolian tigers outside, who frequently go south to attack the Song Dynasty. At this time of crisis, no matter how good you are in martial arts, you can only fight against a hundred people or a thousand enemies. You have to learn how to live. To defeat an enemy of ten thousand people, to master the art of war, to cultivate one's moral integrity, to govern the country, and to bring peace to the world, these are the skills we should learn."
"Mr. Hengqu once said that it is the ambition of our generation to establish a heart for the world, to establish a destiny for the people, to carry forward the unique knowledge of the saints, and to create peace for all generations!"
"Okay!" Guo Jing was born with heroism, grew up in turmoil, and hated his country and his family. Loyalty, filial piety, and integrity have long been engraved in his bones and integrated into his blood. Not only did he not feel unhappy because of being rejected, but he was filled with joy, "Guo'er, that's well said. If your grandfather heard what you said today, he would definitely smile!"
After saying that, Guo Jing said to Mu Nianci with another smile: "Mu Shizi, you have raised a good son! Not bad, very good!"
When Mu Nianci heard this, she couldn't restrain her happiness and smiled happily. However, she also had the traditional virtues and humility of the Chinese people and waved her hands repeatedly.
"Brother Guo, thank you for your praise. Compared with you, he is still far behind! I will definitely teach him well in the future and let him learn more from you!"
A flash of astonishment flashed in Huang Rong's eyes. She didn't expect that Guo Jing's initiative to recruit a disciple was actually rejected. Moreover, this kid's ambition was so high that it was more than a hundred times stronger than his father.
Guo Fu, who was sitting next to her, had even more brilliant eyes, and her admiration was beyond words. Although she was still young and didn't understand the hatred between country and family, she just felt that Li Jie was so handsome when he said these words.
"Guo'er, Uncle Guo is very pleased that you have such an ambition. Since you don't want to focus on martial arts, I won't force you." Guo Jing and Huang Rong looked at each other and made up their minds, " Uncle Guo received the inheritance of Yue Wumu when he was young, and today I will hand over this inheritance to you. I hope that in the future you can serve the country as loyally as Grandpa Yue, drive out the Tartars, and restore our Song Dynasty!"
Li Jie smiled and nodded. He would do what he could to drive away the Tartars, but what he would restore was not the Zhao and Song Dynasties, but the Han Dynasty.
boom! boom! boom!
At this moment, someone suddenly knocked on the courtyard door, and at the same time, there was a rush of shouting.
"Da Lang, Da Lang! Are you at home?"
Everyone's eyes turned to Li Jie. He was the only one in the room who was called Da Lang. Li Jie felt happy when he heard this familiar voice.
'Is there any clue about that matter? '
It was none other than Liu Xiaohu's younger brother, Liu Xiaoyu. Liu Xiaohu was originally a staff member of Yu Qilang Tea House. He was very thoughtful and very good at observing people's emotions. After some evaluation, Li Jie finally decided to take him under his command. , initially just responsible for the sales of frosting.
However, this person is far more mentally mature than his peers and grows extremely quickly. Every time Li Jie assigns a task, he is not only able to complete it quickly, but sometimes even exceeds his limit.
Everyone within Li Jie's force knows an iron rule, the capable are promoted and the mediocre are demoted. Liu Xiaohu slowly entered the core of the force, but his martial arts talent is not strong, and his martial arts practice is slower than that of ordinary people. Quite a few.
Liu Xiaohu's greatest advantage is that he knows how to advance and retreat, and understands gains and losses. Since he couldn't fully demonstrate his talents in martial arts, he simply put all his energy into business. Now he is considered a slightly famous rising star in Lin'an Mansion. generation.
