The gods began by supporting Guo Jing to become emperor

Chapter 142 Guo Jing's Mission
A man and a sculpture sit on the rocks of the waterfall, blending into the surrounding environment very naturally.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the morning sun rose from the clouds, and golden sunlight spread across the sky. The vital energy that permeated the heaven and earth quickly dissipated, and all things became full of vitality and grew vigorously.

"call……"

Su Ming opened his eyes and exhaled, his eyes calm and indifferent. Although the surrounding heaven and earth essence was still continuously flowing around him, its quantity and quality were incomparable to that moment just now.

The ancients called the moment of sunrise "Purple Air Coming from the East", and the pure Qi was called Taichu Purple Air, or Pure Yang Purple Air. Most people think that this wonderful name is just a trick to show the mystery of Qi Refining.

But the reality is not so. The rise and set of the sun, moon and stars are closely related to the changes in the yin and yang energy in the human body. The pure purple air at the moment of sunrise is the natural energy derived from the intersection of yin and yang between heaven and earth. In the morning, the yang energy rises. If you practice at this time, you will get twice the result with half the effort. Although it is extremely short, it is extremely effective.

After so many years in this world, cultivation has become his habit, breathing in and out. That is why he looks so young, as if time has stopped for him and he has always looked to be in his early twenties.

"Wow..."

As he slowly finished his practice, the dissipated true energy disappeared, and the eagle woke up from its meditation. There was a bit of confusion in its eyes, and it let out a cheerful cry, then flapped its wings and jumped off the waterfall, disappearing into the valley.

Su Ming stood up and looked at the direction where the eagle left with a hint of doubt in his eyes, "Why does this eagle seem to be more beautiful?"

Then he shook his head and thought, forget it, let it go for now. He jumped off the waterfall. He seemed to have defied the law of gravity, his body was as light as a feather, and he landed on the ground without any trace.

After returning to the Sword Tomb Cave, Su Ming washed up and prepared to cook. Although the cave was spacious, it was a place to live, and the smoke from cooking was too strong. It is said that those who eat air will be divine and live long, but he has not yet reached the state of not eating.

There was a simple stove next to the waterfall for cooking. Su Ming circulated his internal energy to transform his peaceful true energy into masculine true energy. With a flick of his finger, the firewood was lit. A pot was placed on top of it, and water was boiling in the pot.

"Oh!"

Suddenly, something flew from a distance and landed in front of him. He took a glance and saw that it was a hare that had been knocked unconscious. The eagle was standing on the cliff, holding a python at its feet and pecking at it slowly.

Su Ming picked up the rabbit, bled it, skinned it, and removed its internal organs skillfully...

Then, a bonfire was lit next to the stove, and he squatted there, turning the wooden fork that was placed across the wooden frame with his hands, trying his best to evenly heat the fat hare that was pierced between the wooden forks and was being roasted on the bonfire, making it crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

At the same time, he would take out some porcelain bottles from the bag on his waist, and use his true Qi to blow out various unknown seasoning powders in the bottles, letting them fall on every inch of the rabbit. Under the roasting flames, the pink flesh of the rabbit gradually turned brown and sizzled with oil.

An indescribable alluring aroma spread...

Soon, a wild rabbit was eaten. Su Ming dealt with the remaining food and left with the Qingfeng Sword on his back.

Although the valley was quiet, it was short of supplies. Every half a month, he had to go to the market outside the city to replenish his daily necessities. Anyway, he still had a lot of gold, silver and treasures that Genghis Khan had given him. If he just ate them all, he would not be able to finish them in his lifetime.

But this time, he came out not only to buy food, but also to find out about the situation outside.

……

Xiangyang was an important town, and generally no one would choose to attack it head-on. Therefore, even though the Jin Kingdom had fought with the Song Dynasty several times, this place was not affected by the war. The streets were noisy, the vendors' shouts, the women's bargaining voices, and the crying of children kept echoing in Su Ming's ears.

He walked through the crowd and came to a tavern in the downtown area. The tavern was almost full of diners. It was just the beginning of spring and everyone was still wearing thick clothes. Su Ming walked in, looked around, and sat in the corner.

As soon as he sat down, the news he wanted to hear came from a table not far away.

"Have you heard that the Jin Kingdom in the north was badly beaten by the Mongols?"

"What are Mongolians? Are they powerful?"

A middle-aged man in a long gown chuckled and said, "Hehe, I just came back from there. Mongolia is a country on the grassland. The battle lasted for several months this time. The Jin Kingdom lost many cities and lands, and many people died."

An old man nearby cursed fiercely, "The Jin Kingdom lost so badly, and yet they still want to fight us. Aren't they afraid that the Mongols will raid their hometown?"

The middle-aged man ate a peanut and said proudly, "Old man, you don't understand this. We just formed an alliance with Mongolia not long ago. Mongolia won the war. This war is probably going to end soon."

"It's a pity that the war lasted too short, otherwise..." As he said this, he couldn't help revealing a hint of regret.

Su Ming glanced at him indifferently. He was a man who made a fortune from the war. It was not known whether he was selling food or military supplies. When a war broke out, normal business operations would be affected, and then the powerful would take this opportunity to make a fortune.

Then, in full view of everyone, this guy proudly boasted about the war in the north, and others who knew about it also told him what they had heard.

After saying this, everyone started cursing the imperial court at the same time.

Su Ming ate the food and wine with a hint of relief in his eyes. He heard Guo Jing's name from these people, which meant that he had finally stepped onto the stage of history.

The situation in the world is caused by one individual after another. The roles played by these people vary in size, but it is undeniable that some people are born protagonists who can lead the changes of the times.

These people are the wave of the times, so is Genghis Khan and so is Guo Jing.

In contrast, in the original plot of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, he could only wander around the world, becoming a famous hero, and finally sacrifice himself for his beliefs and ideals. How tragic, yet what a pity.

A good hand of cards, played badly.

Only by staying in the political situation of Mongolia can Guo Jing have a chance to succeed. Both the Jin Dynasty and the Song Dynasty have lost the ability to forge ahead. Only when a group is on the rise will all kinds of people emerge quickly.

After finishing his meal, Su Ming walked away.

……

Mongolian steppe.

A faint scent of milk filled the tent. Hua Zheng sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the two children in a daze. Her fair face was filled with maternal kindness. Her slightly pointed chin became plump, her face regained its color, and her skin became smooth. She was even more beautiful than before she got married.

Li Ping opened the tent and walked in. She said to Hua Zheng who was beside the bed in a gentle tone, "Zheng'er, leave this to me. You go and rest first."

Hua Zheng turned around when she heard the voice and saw Li Ping walking in with a pot of soup. A hint of helplessness flashed across her bright eyes. "Mom, are you making soup today?"

Li Ping put the soup on the table and served two bowls. "Well, I stewed pork ribs for you. You just came out of confinement and you have to breastfeed your baby. You have so many things to do, so you need to nourish yourself."

Hua Zheng walked up to her and said coquettishly, "But, I have so much flesh on my body. What if Guo Jing comes back and sees that I have gained weight and doesn't like me?" As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Li Ping's eyes suddenly became sharp and she said in a deep voice, "He dares! If this kid dares to do that, you can tell mother and mother will help you teach him a lesson!"

The smile on Hua Zheng's face became even sweeter, "Thank you, mother."

When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were having dinner, a servant came in and reported, "Princess, the prince consort is back!"

Hua Zheng's eyes were full of surprise. She left in a hurry after saying, "Mom, please look after the child first. I'm leaving now."

Li Ping was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, "This child, even though she's already a mother, she still has this temper."

……

On the grassland, Guo Jing returned with more than a thousand cavalrymen, exhausted. As soon as he approached his tribe, he saw Hua Zheng riding a horse and running towards him. "Hua Zheng, why are you here?"

Hua Zheng rode to Guo Jing's side, hugged his arms, and said tenderly, "Guo Jing, you're back."

"Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Guo Jing felt a little embarrassed to show off his affection in front of everyone, "Brother Lu, take them back and settle them down first, I'll come back in the evening."

"As ordered!"

Lu Guanying also knew how self-disciplined Guo Jing was outside, and the couple would definitely have a lot to talk about when they met, so he did not stay and left with the cavalry. After they left, only the couple were left in the wilderness.

There were no outsiders around, so Hua Zheng simply jumped off her horse, sat in Guo Jing's arms, and snuggled up to him, "Guo Jing, I missed you so much."

Guo Jing hugged her and sniffed her hair gently, his serious face full of nostalgia and joy, "Me too."

At night, Guo Jing naturally did not go to the military camp again.

A family of five had a happy meal in the tent.

Ever since Guo Jing and Hua Zheng got married, Li Ping gave up the idea of ​​returning to her hometown in the south. The birth of her two children also made her decide to stay in Mongolia. She no longer cared about the righteousness between the Hu and Han peoples or the hatred between the Jin and Song dynasties. As long as the family could live together in peace, it was better than anything else.

Late at night, after the couple had some tender time, Guo Jing told Hua Zheng about his plan.

Hua Zheng's watery eyes were a little dazed, and she said in a gentle tone, "Guo Jing, are you going to move out? We won't live here anymore?"

Guo Jing hugged Hua Zheng, his eyes hollow and deep, "Well, if we move to another place, our family of five can live together. Mom has been in the desert for so many years. If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely take her back to visit her."

"For so many years, I know she has never let go of her hometown in the south, but that is not our home. Taking her back to see it can also put her mind at ease."

Hua Zheng felt a little sad when she thought about moving to a strange place and leaving the grassland where she grew up. But since Guo Jing had already made up his mind, she certainly would not object. She just said softly, "Okay, wherever you are, I'll be there."

Guo Jing bent down and kissed her forehead, and comforted her, "There are also grasslands there, enough for us to gallop, but the environment is better and more suitable for our family to live in."

"Well, it's up to you."

"When I return from my diplomatic mission to Song, our family will be able to live together in peace."

……

A month later, Genghis Khan returned to the grassland, hosted a banquet for the tribal leaders, and divided the spoils. This time he won a great victory over the Jin Dynasty, and all the tribes that followed him were rewarded.

The nascent Mongolian state was thus completely stabilized. At the same time, something called ambition was brewing in their hearts.

Qin lost its deer and all the heroes chased it.

This sentence is not only applicable in the Central Plains, but also in the grasslands. Genghis Khan established his dominant position with one victory after another, and at the same time challenged the Jin Dynasty. This war would never end there.

Whether for its own ambitions or for the safety of Mongolia, the Jin Dynasty must withdraw from the grassland.

The nomadic people are tough and have unparalleled skills in riding and shooting, which means they are destined to be more aggressive than ordinary ethnic groups when they grow to a certain size. Unfortunately, the Jin Dynasty was also weak, and this battle completely tore off their tiger skins.

The Mongolian tribes' awe of the Jin Dynasty was gradually eroding, and they officially joined the ranks of expansion and plunder. They did so not out of loyalty, but for profit. The fact that they could win battles by following Genghis Khan was enough.

The Central Plains is a rich land. As long as Mongolia can win the war, it can plunder countless wealth and use war to support the war.

On the contrary, the north had become the Jin Kingdom's bleeding ground, and their only breakthrough was in the south. However, fighting the south would not even quench thirst with poison, so it was just their wishful thinking.

As expected, after fighting with the Song Dynasty for half a year, they only captured some cities, and failed to take over Huai area and cross the Yangtze River as they had expected.

At this time, some people might say that the Jin Dynasty was so large, and its population was dozens of times that of Mongolia, so it would be over if it were reformed. If this were true, the Han dynasties in history would not have collapsed.

It is difficult to turn a big ship around. The Jin Dynasty is already corrupt internally, and the vested interests of all parties are growing stronger. Reform will inevitably harm their interests. Not everyone is willing to devote everything to the country, and not everyone can see so far ahead.

In short, the offensive and defensive situation between Mongolia and Jin has changed, and the war will not stop.

In such an environment, Mongolia sent envoys to the Jin and Song dynasties.

Before, Mongolia had to send envoys secretly and was hunted down by the Jin Dynasty. But now, Mongolia has fought for its own voice and become a country on par with the Jin Dynasty and the Song Dynasty.

Since we are equal countries, we naturally need to have formal diplomatic relations.

Guo Jing followed the delegation to the Jin capital, Zhongdu, and met the Jin emperor in the court. He also saw his long-time enemy Wanyan Honglie. Wanyan Honglie in the hall was also very surprised to see Guo Jing. He did not expect that the child from a year ago had become an envoy of Mongolia.

However, his hateful look made Wanyan Honglie very uncomfortable, but he could do nothing about it.

He can’t move the Mongolian envoy!

The current Jin Dynasty is no longer the same as before. The title of the strongest country in the world has been broken, and many things are different. Even if he is the sixth prince of the Jin Dynasty, he cannot kill the Mongolian envoy. After all, Mongolia is too powerful.
