Chapter 36: The Golden Sword, Hua Zheng's Thoughts

Chapter 36: The Golden Sword, Hua Zheng's Thoughts
Temujin ordered his personal soldiers to put away the two eagles, helped him up, patted his shoulder and praised, "Good boy, your archery skills are very good!"

Guo Jing did not hide the credit of Zhebie and said honestly: "Master Zhebie taught me."

Temujin laughed out loud, not taking it seriously. Instead, he admired her even more. Elders always like obedient children. "My master is Jebe, and my disciple is also Jebe."

In Mongolian, Jebie means archer.

Guo Jing killed two birds with one arrow and was praised by everyone. Tuolei was not jealous, but felt proud, as if he had killed two birds with one arrow. So he wanted to ask for a reward on behalf of his brother, "Dad, you said there would be a reward for those who hit the target. I, Anda, killed two birds with one arrow. What reward will you give him?"

Temujin's smile deepened. "Any reward is fine." He looked at Guo Jing again and asked, "Child, what do you want?"

Tuolei grinned, beaming with joy, "Any reward is really fine?"

"Can I still deceive a child?"

Guo Jing had a lot of contact with Temujin over the years, as well as with other generals. All the generals liked his simplicity and kindness, and did not discriminate against him because he was Han Chinese. Besides, killing two birds with one stone was truly admirable, and they did not envy him.

What's there to be jealous of a child?
Seeing that the Khan looked very happy, everyone looked at Guo Jing, hoping that he would be rewarded handsomely.

Guo Jing thought for a moment and said, "The Khan has treated my family very well. My mother lacks nothing. The Khan does not need to reward her any more."

Temujin felt the sincerity in Guo Jing's words and liked him even more. "You are a filial child. You always think of your mother first. What do you want? Just tell me. Don't be afraid."

Guo Jing hesitated for a moment, then knelt down in front of Temujin's horse, his young face showing a solemn expression, "I don't want anything, I just want to ask the Khan for one thing on behalf of others."

There was a glimmer of surprise in Temujin's eyes. How could this child make a request on behalf of others?
"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Guo Jing gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Wang Han's grandson Du Shi is evil and bad. Hua Zheng will suffer if she marries him. I beg the Khan not to marry Hua Zheng to him."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the field became very subtle. The generals were slightly startled and the smiles on their faces disappeared.

Temujin was also very surprised. He did not expect Guo Jing to make such a request, but he could not agree to it. He could only laugh to cover up his embarrassment. "What a child's talk. How can that be? I cannot agree to this. How about this? I will reward you with a treasure."

After saying this, he took out a short knife from his waist and handed it to Guo Jing.

Upon seeing this, the Mongolian generals could not help but admire and envy him. It turned out that this was Temujin's favorite sword, which he used to kill countless enemies. If he had not promised so much before, he would never have given it to him so easily.

Guo Jing also knew that his request was a bit excessive, so he did not continue to ask questions. Instead, he thanked for the reward and took the dagger.

He had often seen Temujin wearing this knife around his waist before. When he took it in his hand and took a closer look, he saw that the scabbard was made of gold, and there was a golden tiger head at the end of the handle, which looked ferocious and majestic.

Temujin patted his shoulder, his face showing seriousness, "From now on, you will use my golden sword to kill enemies for me."

Guo Jing didn't have time to think about it, so he just lowered his head and said, "Yes."

However, Hua Zheng on the side suddenly burst into tears, jumped onto the horse's back, and galloped away.

Temujin had a heart of steel, but seeing his daughter so sad, he couldn't help but soften his heart. He sighed slightly, turned his horse around and went back to the camp, followed by the Mongolian princes and generals.

Hua Zheng's engagement was made a long time ago. At that time, Temujin's power was still weak and marriage was beneficial to him. However, times have changed and he didn't want his daughter to marry him. But this matter is more than just a simple engagement.

If it is not handled properly, it may cause a new round of war on the grassland, so he had to be cautious. Hua Zheng walked fast, and Guo Jing had not yet reacted. He stood there in a daze. Seeing that everyone had almost left, he drew his short knife out of its sheath, and a flash of silver light flashed before his eyes.

He only felt the short knife was chilling, and saw the faint mark of blood on the blade. He knew that this knife had killed countless people. Although the blade was short, the blade was thick and heavy, making it a rare weapon.

At this time, everyone had left, but Su Ming did not leave. Instead, he found a place to wait and watch, because he knew that something good would happen soon.

On the other side, Guo Jing put away his dagger and went to the bottom of the cliff to practice martial arts. In the past six months, his martial arts skills have improved by leaps and bounds, so on weekdays, whenever he has time, he practices martial arts.

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves was heard again. Guo Jing looked up and found that it was Hua Zheng riding back on horseback. He took a look and continued to practice martial arts. Her arrival did not affect his determination to practice martial arts at all.

Hua Zheng galloped closer, dismounted, and lay down on the grass, supporting her head with her hands as she watched Guo Jing practice martial arts. The girl's graceful curves were faintly visible in the breeze.

However, Guo Jing turned a blind eye to this and focused on practicing martial arts.

Seeing this scene, Su Ming didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This kid hasn't gotten the hang of it yet.

After a while, Hua Zheng saw beads of sweat on Guo Jing's forehead and said softly, "Stop practicing, take a rest."

Guo Jing didn't move his feet or even turn his head, "Don't bother me, I don't have time to talk to you."

At this moment, he had no eyes for women or emotions, and his only focus was on practicing martial arts.

Hearing this, Hua Zheng was not annoyed, but just looked at him with a smile. After a while, she took out a handkerchief from her bosom, tied two knots, and threw it to him, "Wipe the sweat off."

Guo Jing hummed "hmm" but did not pick it up, letting the handkerchief fall to the ground, showing no understanding of romance at all.

Hua Zheng knew his temper and ignored him. Instead, she stared at his face and asked, "Just now you begged Daddy not to let me marry Du Shi, why?"

Guo Jing froze in his martial arts training, thought for a moment and replied, "Dushi is very bad. He once released a leopard to eat your brother Tuolei. If you marry him, he might beat you."

Hua Zheng laughed, her eyes sparkling, her voice becoming softer and softer, as if she was flirting, "If he hits me, come and help me."

Instantly, Guo Jing was stunned, "Then...how can this be done?"

Hua Zheng stared at him, her expression became softer and her eyes became blurred, "If I don't marry Du Shi, then who should I marry?"

Guo Jing shook his head and didn't think much about it. He just replied, "I don't know."

This was not the answer Hua Zheng wanted to hear. She said "Pooh" harshly, her face flushed but suddenly turned into anger. She said hatefully, "You know nothing!"

The girl's feelings were obvious, but she met a fool like Guo Jing, and her feelings were thrown to a blind man.

However, the girl's emotions came and went quickly. After a while, she was no longer angry and a smile appeared on her face again.

 Please read on, brothers.
