Chapter 93: Guo Yan
"Ga, Jia..., Grand Elder, I'm coming to Hongzhou, do you want to rest?"
Li Dazi sat in the carriage and looked out, "Yeah, go to Hongzhou to rest for two days."
From the time of departure to now, I arrived in Hongzhou for more than a month. I didn't want to stay in Hongzhou. But when the gang leader asked him to pass by Hongzhou, he stopped to see his daughter. Thinking about not seeing her daughter for so many years, I really miss her. I don't know if her daughter was angry with that little woman in the governor's mansion. After all, her previous identity is incomparable to the general of Ganzhou. It's better to go and see it. If You Gang treats Jingjing badly, he will take Jingjing to Yuzhou when he comes back. The gang leader is right. With his current identity, a little Hongzhou governor is no longer qualified to make him feel embarrassed.
After touching the Anxi Protectorate Order in his arms, he couldn't help but feel deeply moved. The only two people in the Anxi government have this order. He was honored to be one of them. It was thirty years since Hedong and thirty years after Hexi. He never thought that he would have a chance to come back, but now he is not only back, but he can also step into the governor's mansion openly. The uncle is in power in the court, and the Protector has not rebelled. In theory, Anxi still belongs to the court. As long as he takes that order, he is qualified to step into any place under the jurisdiction of the court, including his General Mansion in Ganzhou.
The carriage stopped at the entrance of an inn in Hongzhou, "The Great Elder, I've arrived at Hongyun Inn."
"Yeah" lifted the curtain of the car, and the disciple helped him get out of the carriage. Looking at the Hongyun Inn, I remembered many years ago. When I first arrived in Hongzhou, the first place I begged was this Hongyun Inn. The waiter generously gave him two plates of leftover rice. Although he is still a beggar, his identity has long been different. He stepped into the inn and turned around and said, "Give a message to the Hongzhou Governor's Mansion, and I will say that the Anxi Protectorate will visit tomorrow morning."
"Yes, my subordinates go and do it right away"
He took a few brothers from the Beggars' Sect to Hongyun Inn. Be good, so many people? It seems that they are going to Jianzhou to attend the martial arts conference. Looking at the huge living room, there was no empty space. The disciples around him shouted to the busy waiter, "Waiter, are there any empty spaces? Give us the entire empty space."
The waiter put a rag on his shoulder and ran over, "Oh! Masters, look, this is full. Otherwise, discuss with other guests and share a table for several people?"
The disciples around him were about to speak, Li Dazi raised his hand and pressed it down, looked at the waiter, and smiled and said, "Haha! Brother Xiao, do you still remember me? Six years ago, the lame old beggar?"
Speaking of beggars, Hongyun Inn doesn’t know how much it needs to be contacted every year. There is only one thing that may leave an impression on the waiter. It was the old lame beggar who was pitiful six years ago. When he saw the old beggar was pitiful, he gave him two plates of leftover rice. But unexpectedly, the old beggar was still a cultural person. After eating at the door, he left a few words on the wall next to the door with stones. The boss saw these words and said nothing. The next day he changed the "Good Luck Inn" to "Hongyun Inn". That’s right, this Hongyun Inn was the name given by Li Da Crooked.
The waiter looked at Li Dazi's face, then looked at his legs, and said in surprise, "You, you, are you the old gentleman six years ago?"
Li Da Crooked Man smiled and said, "Haha! What an old gentleman, an old beggar."
The waiter quickly shook his head, "No, no, no, you are the old man. Our shopkeeper said back then: A word difference is a thousand miles apart. Come on, this big table is gone, how about you bring a small table?"
Li Da Crook touched his beard and nodded, "That's the trouble."
The customers in the store were eating and drinking, and no one noticed the conversation at the door. But in the corner of the right wall, there was a table of guests who were close to them, and they heard them all. There were only two guests at the table, an old lady took a child less than ten years old. Looking at Li Dazi and others walking inside, the child bit his chopsticks and asked, "Mother-in-law, who is this old man? He looks ordinary, but he feels very difficult."
The old woman squinted her eyes and looked at him, "Did Xiao Zhuzi learn to look at the photos?"
"Hey! It's just a feeling, my feeling is that this old man is not simple!"
The old woman smiled and said, "Haha! Li Crooked, can it be simple?"
"Ah? Beggar Gang? Aren't the Beggar Gang all worn rags? How did it be changed to linen?"
"Are you stupid? You even said it's not simple, so how many old lame men can there be in the world today?"
The child nodded, "Yes! I heard that Anxi loves to watch performances. Should our Shengyin Sect also go to Anxi to develop? The broken places in Guizhou are all mountains and buildings (musical instruments made of bamboo), and it is not fun at all."
"Haha! My mother-in-law would establish this Holy Music Sect back then because she was inspired by the Anxi people. Otherwise, how could I make money to support myself, an old and yellow singer? It is certain to go to Anxi to develop, but we have to make the name of our Holy Music Sect. If there is no name or a name, the appearance fee is very different."
"Oh! No wonder my mother-in-law had to come to attend this martial arts conference, so that's it."
"Yes! So don't hurry."
...
At this moment, the inner table. "Great Elder, there is news about the Jianzhou branch."
"What news?"
"The branch found Meng Wuji, Zheng Yunxiao, Ling Changfeng, Qian Liang and others in Jianzhou."
Li Dazi put down his chopsticks, "Yeah? All these people have gone to Jianzhou? Where is Elder Wang at the moment?"
"Two months ago in Liaodong"
"What? Why did he go to Dongxia?"
"I don't know yet"
"Where is Lord Zhao?"
"Mr. Zhao has arrived in Jianzhou before us."
It seems that this martial arts conference is a bit extraordinary. The spies from the four major forces all went to Jianzhou. Why? A small martial arts conference cannot be targeted by so many forces. The gatherings of the people in the martial arts community have nothing to do with the court. But even Zhao Chunsan ran away. This matter is strange. Unless this martial arts conference meets something they must investigate in this martial arts conference, what exactly is it?
"Eat first, there are too many people and talkatives. After dinner, I send someone to Jianzhou and contact Lord Zhao to ask about the situation."
"yes"
...
———
One month ago, the Seven-Character Gate of East Island
Guo Yan accompanied his master for a walk by the lotus pond.
"Yan'er, do you miss homesick?"
"Does my disciple say I don't want to, will the master believe it?"
"Well, I'll do your business with Xiaoting after the conference. Don't have any objections. Without Xiaoting, you will be in danger."
"Yeah, I understand, I won't be dragging it out."
"It's good to understand. I'm Xiaoting, the teacher. You have dragged her down for so many years, and I haven't said anything. But this year it won't work. You know your identity. Emperor Wu sent Meng Wuji to you for more than a year. Even if the news is not leaked, it will be sooner or later to be found."
Guo Yan stopped, thought for a while, and asked, "Master, can you tell me where my aunt is?"
Elder Miao looked at the lotus pond and sighed, "Oh! Your aunt is the only close friend of her life. She traveled all over the Wei Dynasty a few years ago, but she didn't find any news. The Axe Gang did not chase her twenty years ago. It is estimated that she is no longer in the Wei Dynasty."
Guo Yan knelt on the ground with a pounce, "Master, the disciple wants to go out of the pass. Although the disciple is a disciple of the Seven Quarter Sect, he has not even learned any skills and cannot be the position of this young master at all. Please forgive me."
Elder Miao looked down at him and slowly said, "Is the position of a young master related to whether he can do martial arts? Whoever can lead my Seven Quarter Sect to become stronger will be the Seven Quarter Sect's Young Master. Even if you are a master, you can't help you, so you can only talk to the head of the sect yourself."
"But Master..."
"Okay, don't say it anymore, no matter where you are going. Remember, you will always be the young master of Dongdao. If you want to go outside the pass, go when your marriage with Xiaoting is finished."
Guo Yan was also helpless. He didn't want to be the young master of Dongdao, but because of that incident fifteen years ago, the leader decided to identify him. What happened fifteen years ago? This has to start with the flow ball war.
Dongdao was included in the Central Plains by the Wu Kingdom during the Warring States Period and was under the jurisdiction of Yizhou. However, Dongdao is located in the sea, and the people on the island are invaded by pirates every year. Dongdao, which was originally not wealthy, has serious bandits. It is conceivable how the people of the East Island live. Qijue Gate is located in the Crescent Valley, which is too far from the sea, and it cannot take care of the people on the island at all. Besides, there are so many pirates, which Yizhou has serious bandits? The entire Liuqiu (later known as Ryukyu) archipelago is swept by pirates every year. Qijue Gate is just a sect in the world and cannot resist so many pirates.
At that time, Guo Yan was only thirteen years old. Because he had no martial arts talent, he was sent down the mountain to take charge of the purchase and transportation of materials inside the gate. But the island was swept by pirates, so where did he buy supplies? Without supplies, how would the disciples inside the gate live? So! The bandit problem must be solved. The Yizhou garrison was also a disciple of the Seven-Certain Sect, and his martial arts skills were good, but war had something to do with high martial arts skills? Grandma, the 30,000 army was beaten like a pig by pirates every year. Dozens of warships could not defeat more than a dozen warships, so he still had the face to be a garrison in a state.
So he came to the Yizhou General's Mansion as the eldest disciple of the Seven-Miao Sect, and told the general that it was the sect who sent him to help the general solve the bandits. The general was also a disciple of the Seven-Miao Sect. Although he looked down on him, he could not lose face. He asked him what he could do to solve the bandits. He was too lazy to explain to the general that he directly asked for military power, saying that he would return the military power if he defeated the pirates. He wanted military power? Then how could this general agree? The soldiers are the soldiers of the court, and the ships are the ships of the court. How could you ask for it if you say you want them? There is no way, if the military power is not coming, the command power is always possible? The battle is commanded by me, and the credit is your own. Is it okay?
Then! With the flow ball, the seven islands set up a warship chain plan, and more than 30 warships formed a warship chain formation. When the pirates were on the second route, they lured the enemy into the deeper. The pirates thought the enemy was not the opponent, so they followed him and chased him. More than a dozen pirate ships all drilled into his warship chain formation. At one time, the pirates had more than a dozen warships. Except for the flagship ships, all other warships were sunk. They took more than 30 warships to chase the pirate flagship. After chasing for several days, when they were passing through the Bibo Strait, the pirate flagship itself hit the reef and sank.
When he returned to the East Island, the general held a banquet and fought with the ball. The largest group of pirates in the East China Sea were wiped out. The general was advised by him to build coastal defense lines on the ball islands, high-eye stands and other platforms to fight against pirates. Although he could not defend all pirates, it was not easy for the pirates to attack the islands. From then on, every year, as long as the pirates came to attack, the general would go to Yueya Mountain to ask him out of the mountain, and the Huihui victory was never defeated.
After being fucked by him, in just two years, the Seven Quake Sect became famous throughout the entire Liftball. Everyone knows that there is a naval warrior god named Guo Yan on Crescent Mountain.
The bandits' troubles are reduced, and the lives of the people on the island will naturally improve. He doesn't feel anything, but the lives of disciples in the sect will improve together, which is different. The disciples of the Seven Quarter Sect went down the mountain to shop, and the price was half cheaper than other sects, and even gave them free of charge. Who doesn't know that the little army god of the Seven Quarter Sect can solve the bandits' troubles? It's because of this that Guo Yan's name officially spreads inside the sect. The war god of the sea! Who would have thought that the Seven Quarter Sect was actually inside the sect.
There is also a master who can fight? All the disciples in the sect have spread. Can the head and the elders still not know? So what if you don’t know martial arts? Just by establishing such a great prestige for the Seven Quarter Sect, the position of the Seven Quarter Sect can definitely be done. What? Any disciple wants to steal this position? OK! You can deal with millions of ordinary people in Yizhou first. Of course, you have to settle the 30,000 troops of the imperial general's mansion. Without this ability, don’t mention fighting for the position of the young master.
So, even if he doesn't have any skills, no one can squeeze the position of the senior brother of Dongdao. The main reason is that no one is willing to rob him. If someone robs him, he will definitely give way directly. Who wants to rob him? He wants to rob him, and he will command the Yizhou army to fight a naval battle. If he loses his battle, he will not be eaten by millions of ordinary people in Yizhou? Not to mention the Seven Quarter Sect, in Yizhou now, it can be said that the real leader is no longer the General's Mansion, but his Seven Quarter Sect's Senior Brother Guo Yan. The old general has long wanted him to join the Yizhou army, and even said that he would give him the position of general after retirement, but he didn't want to be an official, let alone participate in the internal struggle of the court. In his opinion, it doesn't matter whether he has such a false reputation or not. In Yizhou and even the entire flowing ball, Guo Yan is still talking about it.
...
This time, the head of the army was asked to take charge of the martial arts conference in Jianzhou. He refused, but in the end he had to let Elder Miao lead the team to Jianzhou to organize the martial arts conference. The Yizhou General's Mansion also sent five warships and five thousand troops to escort them. Because Jianzhou belongs to the territory of Zhendongwang, the Yizhou army could not go ashore, so he had to dock at the port of Fuzhou and wait for the end of the conference.
Standing on the Yizhou warship, looking at the waves of the sea, "Is there any news in Dongzhou?"
"My Lord Hui, the Fujian army confronted the imperial court in southern Zhejiang, and our army did not dare to dispatch too many people. We only sent fifty people to Dongzhou for half a month to investigate, but we did not get news about Mrs. Hua."
Guo Yan turned his head and said, "Remember, don't call me lord, just call me lord."
"But sir..."
"No need to say more, calling the young master is a concealer. This time I go deep into the mainland and I will not be exposed. Do you understand?"
"Yes, my son, my subordinates understand."
"Well, I'm sending some people ashore in the afternoon to check for me about the meeting who didn't know about Mrs. Hua."
"Well, but if we go ashore rashly, we will probably cause a conflict with the Fujian army."
"It's okay, change to plain clothes, don't just investigate it blatantly."
"yes"
After the guard left, he looked at Fuzhou Port and silently said, "Aunt, where have you been? Why haven't you come back to visit your nephew for twenty years? Are you... okay?" Then he looked to the north and said, "Axe Gang? Humph! Sooner or later, it will uproot you."
