Chapter 58: Heading to the Desert
The sky is green and the fields are vast.

This was the first time Fang Hao saw the grassland of this era, and there was no sign of being destroyed by modern industry.

Standing there, you can see the clear sky and green grass, which is refreshing.

At this time, Fang Hao was riding on a tall horse, and beside him was the entourage of Wanyan Honglie, the envoy of the Jin Dynasty, who was on his mission to Mongolia.

Looking at Fang Hao who looked relaxed and ignored them.

Wanyan Hongxi, the third prince of the Jin Dynasty and the one who was named King Rong, said fearfully: "Sixth brother, where did you recruit these gangsters from? Be careful not to raise a snake but get bitten by it!"

Beside Wanyan Hongxi, Wanyan Honglie, who had a handsome face and a high nose bridge, smiled apologetically and said, "It is my fault that I failed to control my subordinates well. Please do not blame me, Third Brother."

Wanyan Honglie was not aware of Fang Hao's background. The other party came to him with a visiting card from the Dajiang League, claiming that he was going to Mongolia and hoped to accompany him.

Wanyan Honglie asked his subordinate Master Lingzhi to test Fang Hao's skills.

With just a stunning palm strike, Fang Hao remained motionless, but Master Lingzhi retreated several steps, his face flushed red.

This Master Lingzhi was a master that he had recruited with great difficulty from the Qinghai Hand Seal Sect. He was proficient in the great hand seal skills of Tantric Buddhism and was truly a top-notch master in the world.

After fighting with Fang Hao for only one round, he suffered a loss, which shows that Fang Hao's martial arts are extraordinary.

For Wanyan Honglie, who is courteous to the wise and eager to recruit talented people, Fang Hao is exactly the talent he wants to win over.

Therefore, although Wanyan Honglie did not know Fang Hao's background, he still agreed to bring Fang Hao to the Mongolian desert.

"Sixth brother, what do you think our father is thinking? He asks us to enthrone a group of barbarians from the grassland time and time again." Wanyan Hongxi said.

"Third brother, don't underestimate these grassland tribes. Over the years, the power of the Mongolian tribes has grown stronger and stronger, and they are becoming too powerful to be eliminated."

Wanyan Honglie said: "My father asked us to come here to attack one group and win over another group, so that they can fight on their own. Only in this way can our Great Jin Kingdom remain invincible."

"I know this truth." Wanyan Hongxi said impatiently, "It's just that this damn place is really barren, with neither good wine nor beautiful women. It's really hard to endure!"

Wanyan Honglie secretly despised him, but kept persuading him to be patient.

Wanyan Honglie came to Mongolia with a mission, which was to find an opportunity to kill Temujin.

It turns out that although the Mongolian tribes have continued to grow stronger over the years, most of them have followed tradition, living by following water and grass, fighting each other, and becoming a loose group.

However, the forces led by Temujin intended to unify the Mongolian tribes, which touched the bottom line of the Jin Dynasty.

Therefore, this time Wanyan Honglie had contacted Temujin's adoptive father Wang Han and his sworn brother Jamukha, preparing to take action secretly to capture and kill Temujin.

In order to ensure a smooth journey, Wanyan Honglie also brought along the experts from all sides whom he had recruited.

Among them are Master Lingzhi, the Four Ghosts of the Yellow River, and of course, Fang Hao, who is nonchalant and seems to care about nothing.

Fang Hao naturally knew Wanyan Honglie's plan and was happy to see it come to fruition.

But when he saw the 10,000 elite Jin soldiers brought by Wanyan Honglie, Fang Hao couldn't help but shook his head.

Although these 10,000 elite soldiers were all wearing brocade robes and iron armor, holding sharp weapons and riding strong horses, their swords and spears looked shining like the sun, and their military appearance was extremely magnificent.

But Fang Hao had at least read "Wu Mu's Testament" and had also been doing the work of selecting and training soldiers during these days.

Therefore, it was obvious at a glance that most of these Jin soldiers were armed with silver-plated spears that had never seen blood. If they really went to the battlefield, they would be no match for the battle-hardened Mongolian cavalry.

"I guess these guys like Wanyan Honglie are still unreliable." Fang Hao thought to himself, "Looks like I have to take action myself." Thinking of this, Fang Hao asked the guide about the approximate locations of the Mongolian tribes, and went to the tribe where Temujin was one step ahead of time.

Half an hour later, Wanyan Honglie and his brother discovered that Fang Hao had left without saying goodbye.

Wanyan Hongxi was furious and said, "Sixth brother, this man disappeared at this critical moment. Do you think he knew something and informed Temujin?"

"Brother Fang is not that kind of person. What's more, he should not know our plan."

The plan to encircle and suppress Temujin was top secret, and only the two brothers Wanyan Honglie knew about it. Logically speaking, Fang Hao could not have known about it.

However, the timing of Fang Hao's departure without saying goodbye was just too coincidental.

"You'd better explain this to father. If the news leaks out because of this person and Temujin escapes, you will be fully responsible!" Wanyan Hongxi said.

Wanyan Honglie said: "Third brother, now is not the time to pursue responsibility. The most urgent task is to inform Wang Han and Zhamuhe to take action in advance."

"Well, but as for that little thief named Fang, when we have time, we will catch him even if we have to dig three feet into the ground!" Wanyan Hongxi said angrily.

……

Not to mention that Fang Hao didn't know that the Wanyan Honglie brothers decided to act in advance because of Fang Hao's sudden departure.

Even if he knew, he would just laugh it off.

The warhorse under Fang Hao's crotch was a fine horse given to him by Wanyan Honglie in order to win him over.

Although not as handsome as Guo Jing's little red horse, it is also a top-quality horse.

Fang Hao quickened his pace and soon arrived at the base of Temujin's tribe, where he lay in wait patiently.

Not long after, Fang Hao saw Temujin leaving with several generals and three thousand elite cavalry. He thought they were going to keep an appointment.

Of course, at this time Temujin did not know that this was a trap set by Wanyan Honglie and Wang Han, the purpose of which was to deal with him.

After Temujin left, Fang Hao continued searching in the Mongolian tribe and soon found six men and one woman, both men and women, with different appearances, dressed like Han people from the Central Plains.

Such distinctive attire allowed Fang Hao to immediately recognize the identities of these seven people - the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan!
In the original timeline, in order to determine the winner with the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan, Qiu Chuji agreed that each of them would find a descendant of the Guo and Yang families to teach them martial arts.

They agreed to meet at Zuixianlou on Nanhu Lake in Jiaxing eighteen years later to compete with each other based on the disciples they taught.

It has to be said that, for the sake of a promise, the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan traveled to the desert for more than ten years to teach Guo Jing martial arts. Their chivalrous spirit and courage are truly admirable.

Since the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan are here, it means Guo Jing is not far away.

In the original novel, it was with the help of Guo Jing that Temujin was able to resolve the rebellion jointly launched by Jamukha and Wang Han.

According to the inertia of the plot, as long as Fang Hao can stop Guo Jing, Temujin will probably not escape death.

Fang Hao followed the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan and came to a tent.

Soon, a tall, broad-shouldered young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes walked out of the tent, saluted to the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan and said, "Hello, Masters!"

This young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes is Guo Jing!
Fang Hao watched from afar and soon noticed that there was a hidden gleam in the boy's eyes. He knew that at this time Guo Jing should have followed the Quanzhen Taoist priest Ma Yu and mastered the Taoist inner skills.
