The gods began by supporting Guo Jing to become emperor

Chapter 52: Learning to Lie (First Order Request!)
After Wang Han and Sang Kun left, Tolui stepped forward and said, "Father, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, Tolui, why are you alone?" Temujin frowned when he saw that he was the only one leading the troops, and that the soldiers under his command were sparse and not the elite army he left in the tribe.

Tuolei explained, "Father, after you left, Hua Zheng found Guo Jing, and then found me, but I didn't have the order to mobilize the troops, nor did I have your password, so I had to ask Guo Jing's master for help. If it weren't for his advice, I wouldn't be able to bring so many people."

Hearing this, Temujin was stunned. He didn't expect that Mr. Su would help him. He immediately kept this in mind, and then his eyes fell on the tails of their war horses. He smiled and said, "Did you also have someone tie the branches on the horse's tail?"

Seeing this, Tuolei smiled awkwardly and said, "I don't have enough manpower, and I'm afraid they will see through my true identity, so I can only do this."

Temujin and his generals looked at each other and laughed. At this moment, Temujin's laughter stopped abruptly and he fell off his horse. Everyone was frightened and hurriedly helped him up, only to see that his eyes were closed and his breath was very weak.

However, their commotion could not be hidden from Jamuka and his men who were watching from afar. He was unwilling to let the tiger go back to the mountains like this, but when he saw them making a commotion, he had another idea in his mind.

Just as they were about to make a move, Temujin and his entourage quickly retreated. They could not catch up with them and had to go back.

In the team, Guo Jing was riding on his little red horse, deep in thought, when a voice suddenly came from the side, "Do you understand?"

He turned around and bowed respectfully to Su Ming, "Teacher."

Su Ming nodded slightly and continued to ask, "No need to be polite. Do you understand what happened just now?"

Guo Jing looked around and saw that no one noticed them. He whispered, "The Khan just fell down in front of everyone. I guess many people saw it. The news can't be concealed. I followed the Khan in the charge and didn't see him get hurt. I think he did it on purpose."

"What's the purpose?"

"I think it was to paralyze Wang Hansangkun and show weakness to the enemy."

Su Ming showed a gratified smile in his eyes, "It's a big improvement to be able to think of this."

"But it's not enough!" Guo Jing felt a little happy, but stopped abruptly when he heard this. "Teacher, what's not enough? Please tell me."

"Temujin is not a weak man. You can figure out the rest yourself."

Su Ming left after saying this, leaving Guo Jing there in deep thought. Did the Khan have other purposes?

The group walked for a while, and halfway they met Hua Zheng leading a small group of soldiers and horses. She scanned the crowd, but did not see Temujin. Tears quickly filled her bright eyes, "Uncle Zhebie, where is my father?"

When the tall man Zhebie saw Hua Zheng's tears, he felt ashamed and lowered his head without looking at her.

Everyone turned their heads away and did not answer. Finally, she looked at Guo Jing and said with tears in her voice, "Guo Jing, what happened to my father?"

At this time, everyone around looked at Guo Jing with meaningful eyes. Guo Jing looked embarrassed and rode forward to pull Hua Zheng aside. "Hua Zheng, don't worry. The Khan was only slightly injured. It's not serious. He will be fine after he goes back to recuperate for a while."

Almost in the blink of an eye, Guo Jing had figured out how to answer. In the past, he would never lie to Hua Zheng, but he was afraid that Hua Zheng would find out and ruin Temujin's plan. These were just his guesses, and if he guessed wrong, it would be a joke.

He couldn't tell everything, so he could only lie to Hua Zheng temporarily.

Hearing this, Hua Zheng's eyes were blurred with tears, and she looked at her with hope on her face, "Really? Don't lie to me."

When he met those eyes, Guo Jing felt his face flushed. He felt guilty and a little ashamed. He wanted to tell him the truth, but the words were on his lips and he couldn't say them. He could only nod against his will, "Really, I'm not lying to you."

Hua Zheng knew that he was honest and would not lie, so she believed it and turned sadness into joy. She wiped the tears from her face with a handkerchief and looked at Guo Jing again. She didn't know what she was thinking about, but suddenly she chuckled and said, "I'll go see how Daddy is doing." Looking at Hua Zheng's departing back, Guo Jing felt mixed emotions, a little lost and a little relieved, as if he had lost some shackles.

The army marched forward on the grassland, and Temujin was surrounded by a group of soldiers and guarded by layers of guards.

Hua Zheng wanted to ask for a meeting, but was stopped outside by her brother Tolui. With Guo Jing's comfort, she felt relieved and did not insist, but just followed silently.

The army marched on the grassland for half a day and finally returned to the tribe.

In the afternoon, near sunset, Temujin finally appeared in front of the soldiers. He looked a little pale, but otherwise he was fine. This scene was seen by many people.

"Mr. Su, the Khan invites you to attend the reward ceremony tonight." Zhebie's voice sounded outside the tent.

"come in."

After returning with the army, Su Ming returned to his own tent. The drama was almost over and his part was finished. Next was Temujin's turn to perform. However, he did not expect that Temujin would send Jebe to invite him.

Both of them were Guo Jing's masters. They had met several times before and were quite familiar with each other. Temujin sent Jebe to invite him, which showed his sincerity.

Zhebie opened the tent and walked in, only to see Su Ming looking at him with a half-smile, "Is the Khan alright?"

Others may not know Temujin's thoughts, but his trusted generals can always guess a little. Facing Su Ming's bright and wise eyes that seemed to see through everything, Zhebie felt as if he could not hide anything from the person in front of him, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "The Khan has suffered some minor injuries, but he is fine for now."

Su Ming nodded and said softly, "Okay, I understand. I will go there in the evening."

"Goodbye, sir. I will go back and report." After saying this, Zhebie left as if escaping.

Seeing this, Su Ming laughed in silence. Why was he running so fast? He was not going to eat him.

As night falls, a bonfire is lit on the wide grassland. The blazing fire illuminates the darkness. In front of the tents, herdsmen slaughter cattle and sheep, and the air is filled with the aroma of barbecue.

When Su Ming arrived, the banquet had already begun. A soldier led him to a tent and sat him down. He looked around and found that there were not many people here, but they were all acquaintances.

The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan and Li Ping were all invited here and sat at a separate table. The food was not the cheese, milk wine, and barbecue from the grasslands, but rice from the Central Plains, as well as various stir-fried dishes, stews, etc. The ingredients were very common in the Central Plains but were rare on the grasslands.

It looks like a lot of thought went into this meal.

Seeing the food on the table, Su Ming smiled knowingly. After staying in the grassland for more than ten years, he finally had an authentic Central Plains meal, which was much better than what he made himself.

On weekdays, Su Ming cooked for himself, and mainly made pasta. However, there was a shortage of supplies on the grassland, especially vegetables. Su Ming asked someone to plant some, but the harvest was not much, so he had to give up in the end. His daily diet was actually not much different from that of the herdsmen, except that he ate more meat.

He sat there eating properly, while Li Ping frequently toasted to the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan and expressed her gratitude to everyone present. She was quite generous and neat. Su Ming also raised his glass to drink with them, and then they each ate their own food.

However, he found that after he arrived, the expressions of the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan seemed a little strange, but he did not think much about it. He just greeted them, raised his glass to drink together and then ate his own food.

They were almost done eating, and Su Ming was the first to say goodbye. As soon as he left, the atmosphere became much more harmonious.
