The gods began by supporting Guo Jing to become emperor

Chapter 4: A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, first encounter with the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan

"teacher."

In the tent, Guo Jing bowed to Su Ming, his attitude even more respectful and meticulous than before.

"Did you ask the question that the teacher asked you to ask last night?"

Guo Jing answered honestly, "Teacher, I asked, and my mother has answered."

Su Ming nodded. To reform Guo Jing, he must not only start with him, but also change his mother's mind. Only in this way can he achieve twice the result with half the effort. As for Li Ping's answer, it was not difficult to guess.

After all, there are only a few people who are willing to sacrifice their sons' lives for outsiders, and it is even more foolish to put oneself in danger to help others. Back then, the two Guo Xiaotian brothers invited Qiu Chuji to dinner and drinks because they admired him for killing corrupt officials and being hostile to the Jin Kingdom. This was what righteousness was.

And what does saving Zhebie mean?
Helpful? And then he almost died. Guo Jing was young and didn't know what was good for him. Didn't Li Ping know the danger?

All he did was to lift the veil of luck and put the worst consequences in front of her. If he encountered a similar situation again next time, Guo Jing might remember his mother's teachings and not rush forward rashly.

"Since you already know the answer, I won't ask any more questions. Today I won't teach you the Thousand Character Classic. I will teach you a truth left by an ancient sage."

Su Ming took out the sheepskin and wrote on it with charcoal pencil, "Prevent disasters in advance so as not to hurt feelings later. Be prudent in your actions. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. How can you take it lightly?"

After writing, he gave the sheepskin to Guo Jing and asked him to read it.

After repeating it over and over again for more than ten times, Guo Jing was finally able to recite it fluently and memorize it in his mind.

In terms of talent, Guo Jing's aptitude is actually not high. Whether he is studying or practicing martial arts, he is at the level of an ordinary person, even a little dull. He is more suitable for things that are simple. The martial arts that require extremely high talent are not suitable for him. However, he also has an advantage that ordinary people cannot match, and that is perseverance.

Knowing is easy, but doing is difficult. It is difficult to integrate knowledge and action. It is also difficult to be consistent.

After Guo Jing could recite it, Su Ming explained to him: "This sentence means that a gentleman should stay away from dangerous places, be aware of potential dangers in advance, and take preventive measures. Once he finds himself in a dangerous situation, he should leave in time. This is what Confucius said, and it is also the truth that the saints want to teach us."

"Come on, repeat after me!"

After going back and forth several times, Guo Jing finally memorized the explanation.

"You have to keep this in mind, understand?"

"Guo Jing remembers."

Of course, this matter can also be interpreted from the perspective of sacrificing one's life for righteousness, but Su Ming does not want to teach a hero. Guo Jing would become a hero before he came, and Guo Jing would still become a hero after he came. Then his coming would be in vain!
……

At night, after dinner, Li Ping asked as usual, "Jing'er, what did the teacher teach you today?"

"Mother, today the teacher taught us the teachings of Confucius."

"Confucius?" Li Ping had never been to school, but she knew that Confucius was Confucius. This was a truth that all scholars should learn. She didn't expect that the teacher would teach Jing'er so early.

"What's the reason? Tell me."

Guo Jing sat on a small stool, reciting with his head shaking, "Prevent disaster in advance to avoid hurting oneself later, be wise and act prudently. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, so how can he take it lightly?" After saying that, he explained it again to Li Ping.

After hearing this, Li Ping's heart trembled and she fell silent. She looked at Guo Jing's young face and seemed to see her late husband in a trance. As a mother, her greatest wish was to see her child grow up safely.

What Su Ming taught was the principle of avoiding danger and protecting oneself. Before, Li Ping only knew this kind of survival wisdom, but did not know how to express it in words. Now, she finally felt that it was the right choice to hand Jing'er over to the teacher for teaching.

"Mr. is right, Jing'er, you have to listen to Mr. from now on, understand?"

"Mom, Jing'er knows."

……

As the days passed, Su Ming taught Guo Jing wholeheartedly. While teaching him, he also influenced Li Ping. She no longer instilled her own ideas and beliefs into Guo Jing, but just waited for Guo Jing to come back every day and listened to him talk about what the teacher had taught her and what she had learned.

Every time this happened, a gratified smile would appear on her face, and she would feel more grateful to Su Ming. She would ask Guo Jing to follow his teachings and not disobey them.

The life of mother and son was very peaceful, but the situation on the grassland was turbulent.

Jebe's loyalty made Temujin even more powerful. He defeated many enemies and had tens of thousands of troops under his command. His reputation rose on the grassland. Even the Jin Dynasty emperor Wanyan Jing, who was far away in Zhongjing, had heard of Temujin's name.

At that time, Jin Dynasty Zhangzong Wanyan Jing was in power. Upon learning that Wang Han, Temujin and other tribes in Mobei were powerful, he was afraid that they would become a threat to the north, so he sent his third son, Rong Wang Wanyan Hongxi, and his sixth son, Zhao Wang Wanyan Honglie, to confer official titles. On the one hand, he wanted to control them, and on the other hand, he wanted to observe the strengths and weaknesses of each tribe, and then act accordingly, either by intimidating them or by outsmarting them.

At that time, the Jin people controlled the northern part of the Central Plains, their military was powerful and their reputation was far-reaching. The Mongols were just a small tribe in the grassland and desert. Temujin was weak and did not dare to neglect them. He was quite proud to receive the title of the Great Jin Kingdom.

Against this background, Guo Jing still became friends with Temujin's youngest son Tolui, and they became brothers with different surnames and exchanged tokens of friendship.

After learning about this, Su Ming smiled without saying anything. He no longer stayed at home, but followed the Mongolian army to look after Guo Jing. He had discussed this matter with Li Ping in advance, and Guo Jing also knew about it.

Li Ping didn't agree at first, but when Su Ming showed off his skills, she realized that the man who looked like a weak scholar was actually a man of the world. So she naturally agreed.
In the Mongolian camp, he saw Wanyan Honglie, a handsome man with a bright look in his eyes, and dressed extremely luxuriously. He was simply not on the same level as the poor Mongolians around him.

After recognizing the face, Su Ming retreated without any intention of talking to him. Now was not the right time.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan and the Black Wind Twins will be here soon. They are Su Ming's targets. It doesn't matter if he can't find them. As long as he follows Guo Jing closely, he will naturally find them.

One day, Guo Jing and Tolui went out to play, and Su Ming followed them from a distance. Li Ping had already told Guo Jing about protecting him, but after searching for Su Ming several times and not finding any trace of him, he stopped looking for him.

While chasing a hare, Guo Jing and Tolui had an argument with some kids and started fighting with each other. Suddenly, horse bells rang from behind the sand dunes and a small group of people came riding over, led by a short and fat man on a yellow horse.

On the hillside in the distance, Su Ming used all his eyesight and counted them. There were exactly seven people. These were definitely the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan that he was looking for. Seeing them appear, Su Ming no longer hid himself. He directly activated the Minghai Guiyuan Force, transforming the earth energy into true energy, which flowed through the meridians in his body. In an instant, he felt his body became a lot lighter, and his feet were like the wind. He quickly came closer.

At this time, the children surrounded Guo Jing and Tolui. Faced with so many people, Guo Jing had no choice but to take out the dagger given to him by Li Ping for self-defense.

As soon as the dagger was taken out, it attracted the attention of the talented scholar Zhu Cong. This guy was a habitual thief. When he saw that all the children present were dressed elegantly and even Guo Jing was wearing the gold necklace given to him by Tolui, he immediately wanted to take it for himself.

However, he had just taken the dagger with his bare hands and was about to laugh triumphantly when a warm and deep voice rang out, "To take something without asking is a thief. You are dressed like a scholar, why do you want to steal!"
