The gods began by supporting Guo Jing to become emperor

Chapter 115: Vanity Fair at the Anti-Jin Conference
Guiyun Manor.

Recently, the news that the Jin people are heading south has spread like wildfire in the martial arts world. Upon hearing the news, countless heroes and brave men were filled with indignation and were ready to take part in the fight against the Jin people.

The Song Dynasty has already divided the country with the Jin Kingdom along the Yangtze River. If the Song Dynasty loses the natural barrier of the Yangtze River, it will not be able to withstand the Jin Kingdom's military offensive. If it loses this time, the country may be destroyed and the family may be ruined.

The lesson of the Jingkang Shame is still fresh in our memory, and the hatred between us and the Jin people is still being passed down from generation to generation. Except for the middle and high-level people, the knowledgeable people below do not want the Jin people to disrupt the existing order.

Of course, the people don’t care whether the rulers are Hu or Han people in power. As long as they can make a living, it is enough. It is impossible to expect them to support the court. No matter who comes, they are just cattle and horses.

In the south of the Yangtze River, those who responded to Guiyun Manor’s call were all local wealthy families.

On the day of the meeting, Guiyun Villa was decorated with lights and all kinds of silk ribbons and lanterns. Thousands of sails were sailing on the Taihu Lake, and all kinds of ships were drifting on the shore of Taihu Lake. People dressed in all kinds of gorgeous clothes set foot on the territory of Guiyun Villa.

"Liu Ziming from the Liu family in Jinhua Prefecture has arrived."

"Li Qing'an from the Taizhou Li family has arrived."

……

A pier was specially built by the lake, and Lu Guanying stood on the pier to greet the guests. On Lake Taihu, he was the young master who led a group of bandits, but here he was just a standing minion.

"Brother Lu, why are there so many people here today?" Guo Jing changed into a black warrior uniform, with his long black hair tied up with a jade hairpin. He looked very heroic. He walked out of the manor, saw Lu Guanying by the lake, and stepped forward to greet him.

Lu Guanying had changed into a white suit today, looking quite showy. Hearing this, he held his head high, looking proud, "That's right, Guiyun Manor is also a well-known place in Taihu Lake. If it were me, I would definitely not be able to get so many people here, but it would definitely be different if my father showed up."

Guo Jing nodded, "Yeah, I never thought Uncle Lu was actually Huang Yaoshi's apprentice."

Lu Guanying looked at the sun rising to the sky, then looked at the lake, and put his arm around his shoulders, "Come on, there's no one here now, let's go back."

At noon, the Anti-Jin Conference was officially held.

Lu Chengfeng sat in the main seat as the host. Today he changed into new clothes and looked very energetic and high-spirited. "My dear seniors and young men, we are all gathered here today. It is a great honor for Guiyun Manor..."

After a long speech, the older seniors spoke one after another, and then everyone began to discuss the issue of resisting the Jin people. Guo Jing thought that everyone would focus on discussing how to fight against the Jin people, but in the end, they started to discuss seniority and fight for the right to speak.

The Beggars' Sect, the Dian Cang Sect... disciples of all major sects vied with each other to show up, calling themselves young heroes and talented young men. After one of them finished singing, we would take the stage.

Guo Jing left halfway through the show. This anti-Jin conference was like a child's play. He guessed the beginning but not the ending. There was no one with weight and prestige to lead the way. Although everyone gathered together, there was no leader.

Even if we talk, what kind of result can we get?
He walked out of the hall, only to find that it was already dark. Behind him, people were fighting under the lights at night, going back and forth on the ring, and everyone was cheering. A mocking look appeared on the corner of his mouth. What a big show.

At the dock, the Lu family's servant saw Guo Jing and asked in surprise, "Master Guo, where are you going?"

"Send me to the island in Taihu Lake."

The servant wanted to ask him why he didn't attend the meeting, but seeing that he looked unhappy, he didn't ask any more questions.

The next day, when Lu Chengfeng learned that Guo Jing had left at night, his eyes couldn't help but fall on Lu Guanying. His expression was a little complicated, but in the end he just sighed softly and said nothing.

...In the next three days, Guiyun Manor held a grand banquet, and the heroes drank and fought to their heart's content. A world of fame and fortune was slowly rising, and when the banquet was over, all the participants would become famous in the world.

Guo Jing only showed up at the very beginning, and spent the rest of the time training his troops on a small island in Taihu Lake. He preferred the troops under his control to those kinds of circles.

He saw clearly that without an outstanding family background and a famous school or master, it would be difficult for ordinary people to stand out in this banquet. Even if someone could emerge as a rising star occasionally, they would not be reused because they were not from the same circle. There, strength was not the most important thing.

At this banquet, Guo Jing saw many things clearly and understood many problems that he had never figured out in the past.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

On the beach, shouts of killing rang out one after another. More than 600 strong men, bare-chested, stabbed and chopped with steel knives and spears. Crystal beads of sweat rolled down their bodies, and when the sun shone on them, they reflected a brilliant light.

……

The mountain behind Zhongnan Mountain.

Mu Nianci was sleeping lightly, hugging her knees against a rock. She was covered with a thin blanket, and her pretty face was full of gentleness, like a baby. In front of her was a fire that had already gone out.

Maid Lin stood in front of her and looked at her quietly, with deep pity in her calm eyes.

"Hmm~"

With a mumbling sound, Mu Nianci slowly woke up. Her clear eyes were filled with confusion which then turned into fear. Where was this?
When she noticed the blanket on her body and the situation around her, she looked even more panicked. "Don't be afraid, do you remember what happened last night?" Maid Lin's voice reached her ears, as if it contained an invisible power that could soothe her soul.

She raised her head suddenly, and a kind face came into her sight. Then, memories came flooding back to her. What happened last night surfaced in her mind. Last night, she lit a fire here, and this senior came. She was very sad, and then he told her all his experiences in bits and pieces, without reservation, and finally, she fell asleep...

"Miss Mu, you don't have to be afraid. I am from the Ancient Tomb Sect."

When she heard this word, a look of confusion flashed in her eyes. Ancient Tomb Sect?
Afterwards, Maid Lin began to tell the story of the origin of the Ancient Tomb Sect, as well as the grievances between Wang Chongyang, the founder of Quanzhen Sect, and Lin Chaoying, the founder of the Ancient Tomb Sect. Mu Nianci sat beside the stone and listened quietly. After listening, she was already in tears.

Lovers are hard to marry, even Wang Chongyang and Lin Chaoying couldn't be together in the end, so isn't it...

"Miss Mu, I already know your experience. Since Yang Kang has already rejected you, why do you still miss him? We women can live without men."

"In my opinion, you are just suitable to join my Ancient Tomb Sect. What do you think?"

Mu Nianci opened her mouth, looking a little embarrassed, "Senior, this matter is of great importance. Can I go back and report to my parents before I give you a reply?"

"Well, it's up to you."
