The gods began by supporting Guo Jing to become emperor

Chapter 39 The Meaning of the Golden Sword

Su Ming pretended to be serious, "Jing'er, why did you say those words in front of Temujin today?"

Guo Jing didn't even dare to breathe, and replied carefully, "Teacher, I don't have anything I want. I just suddenly thought of Hua Zheng marrying Du Shi, and I felt very sad, so I said it rashly."

"You also know how to act rashly?"

Guo Jing pursed his lips, a hint of embarrassment flashing across his face.

Su Ming stared into his eyes, holding on, "Temujin is the overlord of the grassland, with great power. What you said today was really too abrupt. I want to ask you, from what standpoint and from what angle did you reject this marriage on behalf of Hua Zheng? What qualifications do you have to stop this marriage?"

"I..." Guo Jing opened his mouth, but was speechless. He couldn't say that Hua Zheng and he were friends and he couldn't bear to see his friend suffer!

Su Ming showed a hint of sarcasm on his face, "What? Can't you answer?"

Facing Su Ming's questioning, Guo Jing was unable to resist and could only lower his head and admit his mistake, "Teacher, I know I was wrong!"

However, the answer he got was Su Ming's stern voice, "Look up!" After the voice fell, Guo Jing subconsciously looked up, and his body tensed up when his eyes met Su Ming's calm gaze. "Did I say you did something wrong?"

Su Ming slowed down his tone and explained, "Du Shi is indeed not a good husband. You are indeed loyal for standing up for your friend, but you were too impulsive and did not consider the consequences at all. Your master has taught you to think twice before doing anything."

"Think before you speak. Before you open your mouth, have you ever thought about the consequences of speaking out? What kind of impact will it cause? What is Dushi's identity? He is Wanghan's grandson. Who is Wanghan? He is the overlord of the grassland. Even Temujin is temporarily subordinate to him. If you ask Temujin not to marry Huazheng to Dushi, it will be a breach of contract."

"The people of the grassland value loyalty and trust the most. Do you know that if Temujin breaks the agreement, it will cause dissatisfaction from Wang Han, and even lead to a war between the two?"

Hearing this, Guo Jing couldn't help but sweat on his forehead. He had never considered this at all. He just simply didn't want his companions to suffer. He didn't expect that there were such serious implications behind this.

"Teacher, I was inconsiderate and disappointed you." Thinking of Su Ming's teachings to him, Guo Jing looked ashamed.

"It's okay. You are young, so it's normal that you don't think about these things. You have killed two birds with one stone today. This matter will definitely spread across the grassland and become famous. From now on, you will no longer be an unknown person. This is something you did well."

Guo Jing scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "This is what Master Zhebie taught me."

Hearing this, Su Ming glared at him again, "Don't say this in front of others in the future. Regardless of whether it was taught to you by Zhebie or not, you shot the arrow yourself. Can anyone else have the same skill and archery skills as you? I taught you to be humble, but not like this. What is yours is yours. Why do you have to explain? What are you feeling guilty about?"

Guo Jing showed an embarrassed look on his face, "I'm not being modest, I just think this is not good. Isn't it wrong to tell the truth?"

Su Ming sneered, "Tell the truth? Why don't you tell your master the truth about the Quanzhen Taoist priest teaching you internal skills?"

"this?"

Su Ming continued, "Some things are clear to you in your heart. There is no need to explain everything to others. Even if others question it, so what? Is it important?"

Guo Jing took a deep breath and bowed deeply to Su Ming, "Disciple, I understand."

"Besides, you asked Temujin to cancel the engagement before. Do you know why Temujin didn't agree to your request?"

"The Khan does not want to offend Wang Han and cause a war on the grassland."

"Wrong! Very wrong!" What? I was wrong again?

Guo Jing's eyes widened, looking confused.

Su Ming stepped forward and patted his shoulder. "You are too weak in essence. If you were the leader of a large tribe on the grassland, with tens of thousands of cavalry, and the third largest force after Temujin and Wang Han, do you think Temujin would directly refuse your request?"

Am I too weak?

At this moment, Guo Jing recalled the stories Su Ming had told him about those powerful ministers who rebelled and bullied the emperor in history, and he gradually realized that if I had a large army, the Khan would not dare to look down on me. The teacher was right, I was too weak!

Then, Su Ming asked again, "Do you know why Temujin gave you the golden sword? Think carefully about his intention."

Another question popped into Guo Jing's mind: What was the Khan's intention? What was his intention?
The golden sword was the Khan's favorite sword. He had fought with it on the battlefield and had killed countless people. He always carried it with him, but he gave it to me. Thinking of how emperors in history had used treasures to win over their subordinates, Guo Jing finally realized that the Khan was trying to win him over.

At this moment, Temujin's words to him rang in his mind again, "From now on, you will use my golden sword to kill the enemies for me."

Does the Khan want me to work for him and kill the enemy in battle?
Guo Jing had not thought much about it before, but now he thought about it carefully and finally understood the intention behind the golden sword given to him. "Teacher, the Khan wants to win me over and make me work for him and kill the enemy in battle."

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this answer, Su Ming shook his head, "Thinking about it again is not enough!"

Guo Jing stood there, lost in thought again.

not enough?

What else didn’t I expect?
The Khan wanted to work for him and kill the enemy in battle.

Kill the enemy?
Enemy? Which enemy?
Guo Jing knew that the Khan was extremely powerful on the grassland and had annexed many tribes. There were not many who could be regarded as enemies by him. Among them, the only one who could pose a threat to the Khan was Wang Han!
The Khan wanted to deal with Wang Han, so he needed people like me to serve him.

After thinking about this clearly, Guo Jing's mind suddenly opened up. Only then did he understand that there were so many twists and turns behind the golden sword.

Seeing Guo Jing's strange expression, Su Ming smiled and asked, "Have you figured it out?"

"Teacher, I have figured it out."

The next moment, Su Ming looked at Guo Jing with a half-smile, "Actually, there is another way to solve Hua Zheng's problem. You don't have to be the leader of the tribe."

This question troubled Guo Jing for a long time. After hearing Su Ming's words, he quickly asked, "What method?"

"If you can't solve the problem, then solve the person who caused the problem. It's very simple, just kill Du Shi."

Killed Du Shi?
Guo Jing felt like he was struck by lightning, he had never thought that the problem could be solved in this way. Yes, Du Shi and Hua Zheng were engaged, as long as Du Shi died, the engagement would naturally be invalidated, and Hua Zheng would not have to suffer anymore.

At this moment, he secretly decided in his heart that if he had the chance in the future, he would kill Du Shi on the battlefield.

At this time, Guo Jing had been on the battlefield. Although he was a bit honest, he was not soft-hearted. He would kill those who needed to be killed. Anyway, he hated Du Shi.
