The rivers and lakes and the court have been incompatible since ancient times, and chivalrous men broke the ban with martial arts and caused trouble. However, Guo Jing has traveled among the courts and the rivers and lakes over the years, often meeting with heroes from all over the world to discuss important matters.
Although Kyushu is in constant turmoil now, Guo Jing holds more and more banquets.
At this moment, in the Lu family manor in Dashengguan.
Guo Jing and Huang Rong walked straight out of the hall, followed by Guo Fu and the Wu brothers.
At this time, countless bright red candles were lit in the hall, and the candlelight illuminated it, making the man more heroic and the woman more beautiful.
All the guests complimented and applauded.
A familiar guest introduced, "That is Daxia Guo, and that is Mrs. Guo Huang Rong, the famous leader of the Beggar Clan, Huang Nuxia."
People on the side asked curiously, "Who is that beautiful little girl?"
The man said, "She is the daughter of Guo Daxia and his wife."
"Those two teenagers are their sons?"
"No, he's a disciple."
Yang Guo didn't want to meet Guo Jing and his wife in front of everyone. He didn't know that his father, Yang Kang, and Guo Jing were actually brothers with different surnames. He just felt that he had no name and no distinction. If he said hello now, it would look like he was deliberately building a relationship.
He huddled behind a tall man with a guilty conscience and looked towards Guo Jing and his wife.
Amidst the sound of drum music, four Taoists came in from outside.
Those four Taoists seemed kind-hearted and upright, but when Yang Guo took a look at them, he felt anger rising in his heart, and he was filled with indescribable anger.
Among the four Taoists, the first one has white hair and white eyebrows, a face like a crown jade, and is full of energy. He is Hao Datong, one of the seven sons of Quanzhen.
Next was an old Taoist nun with gray hair, whom Yang Guo had never seen before.
The two middle-aged Taoists who walked in side by side from behind were Zhao Zhijing, Yang Guo's former master, and Yin Zhiping, Zhao Zhijing's younger brother.
Yang Guo was hiding in the dark, naturally very angry.
However, Master Lu and his wife bowed down together and called the old Taoist nun master.
Immediately afterwards, Guo Jing, his wife, Guo Fu, and the Wu brothers also came forward to salute one by one.
Yang Guo heard an old man next to him introduce him quietly.
"That old Taoist nun is a female swordsman from the Quanzhen Sect. Her surname is Sun, and her given name is the same."
The man said "Ah" in surprise and said, "She is the world-famous Qingjing Sanren?"
The old man said, "Exactly. She is Mrs. Lu's master. Master Lu's martial arts skills were not taught by her."
It turns out that the owner of the Lu family is named Lu Guanying.
His father, Lu Chengfeng, was a disciple of Huang Rong's father, Huang Yaoshi.
Therefore, he is one generation behind Guo Jing and Huang Rong.
Lu Guanying’s wife Cheng Yaojia is a disciple of Sun Buer.
He and his wife originally lived in Guiyun Village in Taihu Lake and Lu Zhanyuan in Nanhu City in Jiaxing, and they were known as the "Erlu" of Jiangnan.
Unfortunately, Lu Chengfeng's Guiyun Villa was burned down by the crazy Ouyang Feng.
In anger, Lu Chengfeng asked his son to abandon the Taihu bandits, take his family northward, and settle in Dasheng Pass.
Now Lu Chengfeng has passed away long ago.
When Cheng Yaojia was in danger, she was rescued by Guo Jing, Huang Rong and other members of the Beggar Gang, so she always had feelings for the Beggar Gang.
Nowadays, Guo Jing and his wife, in the name of the leader of the Beggar Clan, are posting hero posts widely and convening an alliance of heroes from all over the world.
Lu Guanying and his wife were responsible for entertaining the diners and providing accommodation along the way. The Heroes' Banquet was also held at Lujiazhuang in Dashengguan.
Guo Jing and others said hello, and then accompanied Hao Datong and Sun Buer to the hall.
Hao Datong stroked his beard and said, "The four senior brothers Ma, Liu, Qiu, and Wang received the hero invitation from Gang Leader Huang and said that they should be summoned here. However, senior brother Ma has been unwell recently, and senior brother Liu and the others want to help him with his exercises and healing."
, I can’t find my way out, so I can only confess to Gang Leader Huang.”
Huang Rong smiled and said, "It's easy to talk, it's easy to talk. The seniors are too polite."
Although she is young, she is now the leader of the Beggar Clan, the largest gang in the world. Hao Datong and others naturally respect her very much.
Guo Jing and Yin Zhiping have known each other since they were young.
Back then, Qiu Chuji had a misunderstanding with the Jiangnan Seven Monsters. Yin Zhiping was Qiu Chuji's disciple, so naturally he had met Guo Jing.
At this time, the two met each other, and naturally they were very familiar with each other. They walked into the living room hand in hand.
Guo Jing asked about Master Ma Yu's condition and seemed very concerned.
In the hall, the banquet was held, there was a lot of people, the candlelight was red, and it was a lively atmosphere.
Outside the crowd, Yang Guo was squeezed among a group of beggars, and he couldn't help but feel left out.
However, at this moment, Yin Zhiping was seen looking around, as if looking for someone in the crowd.
Zhao Zhijing on the side was very at odds with his junior brother, and sneered slightly and whispered.
"Junior brother Yin, do you think that person from the Long family will appreciate it?"
Yin Zhiping's face changed slightly, he picked up the tea cup and drank tea without answering.
Guo Jing didn't know they were talking about Xiao Longnu, so he asked casually.
"Long family? I wonder which hero named Long is this? Is he a friend of the two senior brothers?"
Zhao Zhijing said, "She is a good friend of Junior Brother Yin. I would not dare to make friends with her."
Guo Jing saw that the two of them looked strange and knew that they had another affair, so he stopped asking questions.
But Yang Guo, who was hiding in the crowd, heard the two talking about Xiao Longnu. He was excited for a moment and couldn't help but step forward, just in time to squeeze a few beggars to complain.
When Yin Zhiping heard the sound, he turned around and saw Yang Guo in the crowd. Suddenly his whole body was shocked, as if he had been struck by lightning.
He thought that since Yang Guo was here, Xiao Longnu must have arrived too.
Zhao Zhijing also followed his gaze, his expression suddenly changed, and he said angrily:
"Yang Guo! It's Yang Guo! This... this kid... he's here too!"
When Guo Jing heard the word "Yang Guo", he hurriedly turned his head and looked.
The two of them had been separated for many years, and Yang Guo came back as a good man, which Guo Jing might not have recognized at first.
But when I heard Zhao Zhijing's call, I immediately recognized him. Feeling surprised and happy, I quickly stepped forward and grabbed his hand, saying.
"Guo'er, you're here too? I was just afraid that I would have wasted your studies and not contacted you. I didn't expect that your master would bring you here. It's really great."
Yang Guo defected to the Chongyang Palace, and everyone in the Quanzhen Sect considered him a disgrace to the sect, and no one leaked a word about it, so Guo Jing knew nothing about it.
Zhao Zhijing came to the Heroes Banquet this time to mention this matter to Guo Jing.
I didn't expect to meet Yang Guo here. His face turned pale immediately, he looked up at the sky and said coldly.
"How can I dare to be Master Yang's master if I am so virtuous and capable?"
Hearing Zhao Zhijing call Yang Guo "Yang Ye", Guo Jing was shocked and asked hurriedly.
"Why did Senior Brother Zhao say this? But Guo'er didn't listen to his lesson?"
Zhao Zhijing saw all the heroes gathered in the hall. If he and Yang Guo got into an argument when this matter was brought up, it would probably make the Quanzhen sect lose face and sneer in silence.
Guo Jing looked at Yang Guo and saw that his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and his clothes were in tatters. He had obviously suffered a lot and felt uncomfortable in his heart. He hugged him in his arms.
Yang Guo looked indifferent and silently took half a step back from Guo Jing's arms and said.
"I'm dirty, don't soil Daxia Guo's clothes."
These two sentences were very cold, with a bit of sarcasm in their tone.
Guo Jing was stunned for a moment, then thought again, "This child has no father or mother. It seems that his martial arts practice in Zhongnan Mountain has not gone well these years. I am afraid he has suffered a lot."
Then she took his hand and asked him to sit at the same table with her.
Yang Guo was originally eating swill rice with the beggars outside in the courtyard, but now he was eating at the same table as Guo Jing and these great heroes.
This difference in situation was all due to Guo Jing's reputation. Yang Guo felt ironic in his heart and said coldly.
"I'll just sit outside. There are many people and things going on right now, so you should go and accompany the distinguished guests."
Guo Jing also felt that there were too many guests and it was inconvenient to ignore these comrades, so he patted him on the shoulder and returned to the guest of honor table to toast.
Not long after, only the sound of firecrackers was heard, and the heroes meeting was finally held.
However, the banquet was full of meat, wine was like streams, and the heroes were playing guessing games and drinking, or telling stories about old times. It was really lively for a while.
I don’t know how many cattle and sheep Lujiazhuang killed and how many jars of fine wine they bought in order to host this heroes conference.
Yang Guo walked out of the hall and looked at the lively scene, feeling even more miserable.
He half-heartedly planned to leave, but after all, it was his first time to come to this manor. After walking around, he did not leave the manor. Instead, he went to the backyard room.
After walking for a short time, I saw a beautiful woman sitting in the yard playing with a little girl.
As soon as Yang Guo reached the entrance of the courtyard, the woman heard footsteps and turned around to look.
Yang Guo looked at her late-maturing and beautiful face and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, but he could tell at a glance that she was Huang Rong.
Huang Rong was stunned for a moment when she saw him, but then she recognized him.
"You...are you Yang Guo?"
"Auntie." For some reason, when they met this time, Yang Guo felt unexpectedly embarrassed in front of Huang Rong.
He only felt that when he saw Huang Rong when he was young, there was no difference between beauty and ugliness. But when he saw her this time, he felt that her features were gentle and her figure was plump and late-maturing, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
Huang Rong was as indifferent to him as ever and said indifferently.
"Seeing that you have been tired from traveling all the way, I can't leave now, so I'll let Fu'er take you to change clothes first."
While she was talking, she picked up the little girl and led Yang Guo towards the yard.
Yang Guo looked at the little girl with her small nose and eyes, her pink makeup and jade-like makeup made her look particularly cute, and he couldn't help but take a second look.
Huang Rong seemed to notice his gaze and said coldly.
"This is my little daughter Guo Xiang."
Yang Guo nodded.
The two walked all the way to another courtyard and entered the house but did not see Guo Fu.
Huang Rong pondered in her heart, glanced out of the corner of her eye, and saw Guo Fu's pair of dark green lotus leaf embroidered shoes exposed under the bookshelf, and immediately shouted.
"Fu'er, what are you doing hiding here?"
Guo Fu smiled and made a face.
"I'm looking for a book to read here."
Huang Rong knew that she had never liked studying, so how could she suddenly study hard today?
But at this time, Guo Xiang in her arms stretched out her little hand and kept gesticulating. She didn't bother to scold Guo Fu and just said:
"Yang Guo was your childhood playmate, do you still remember?"
Guo Fu wanted Huang Rong to leave quickly, so she nodded.
Upon seeing this, Huang Rong shook her head slightly and walked out.
After she hugged Guo Xiang and left, Guo Fu walked out of the bookshelf. There was a crash of broken porcelain bottles behind her. It turned out that Guo Fu had broken several antique porcelain bottles.
Guo Fu noticed Yang Guo looking at him and smiled to please him.
Yang Guo felt that her smile was like a flower, and he couldn't help but feel good feelings in his heart. He wanted to turn around and leave, but at this moment, he inexplicably wanted to stay a little longer.
Guo Fu has been protected by Huang Rong since she was a child. She is used to being naughty and has a big heart. When she meets Yang Guo now, she is quite familiar with him.
She casually chatted with Yang Guo.
Yang Guo started chatting with her in a daze.
Guo Fu looked a little surprised when she heard that he had left the Quanzhen Sect and said curiously.
"Brother Yang, why did you leave the Quanzhen Sect? Did your master abandon you?"
Yang Guo said casually, "I am useless and cannot please Master."
When Guo Fu heard this, she smiled brightly and said, "Your master is obviously a Taoist master, so what's the point of it?"
When Yang Guo saw her smiling like this, it was like a flower suddenly blooming, bright and beautiful, his heart moved unconsciously, his face turned slightly red, and he turned his head away.
At this moment, Guo Fu saw Yang Guo suddenly turning his head, knowing that he had fallen head over heels for her beauty, and she felt a little proud in her heart.
But then I thought about it and couldn't help but sigh.
Yang Guo heard her sigh and asked curiously, "Why are you sighing?"
Guo Fu curled her lips and said.
"It's nothing, I just thought of someone."
"Who?" Yang Guo asked curiously.
Guo Fu curled her lips and said, "Even if you tell me, you don't know him. He is not well-known in the world, but his martial arts skills are extremely high. He is also romantic by nature, and he is even very dandy. My mother won't let me mention his name now."
When Yang Guo heard her description, he couldn't help being stunned and said in surprise, "You...you mean Chen Xuan?"
Guo Fu was obviously a little surprised, "Brother Yang, how did you know?"
Yang Guo secretly smiled bitterly, how could he not know that he had a fight with Chen Xuan back then, and naturally he also knew about the uproar between Guo Jing and Huang Rong.
He had no intention of chatting with Guo Fu, but when he saw Zhao Zhijing's sanctimonious old men, he felt angry.
Seeing Guo Jing, Zhao Zhijing and others calling themselves brothers again, I couldn't help but feel resentful in my heart, so I chatted with Guo Fu for a few words.
Guo Fu was originally wondering why Yang Guo knew Chen Xuan's name, but when she heard his explanation, she was suddenly struck by thunder and froze on the spot.
"What? Chen Xuan kidnapped my mother back then?!"
While she was shocked, she couldn't help but feel doubtful.
"But from my look, he is clearly a young man in his early twenties. How can he be the same age as my mother? My mother is already in her thirties now."
Yang Guo said, "This person has practiced Qimen Xuan Gong, and his martial arts is unparalleled in the martial arts world. Moreover, he has practiced internal kung fu to a certain level, and with active qi and blood, he rarely has gray hair. He even has the ability to maintain his appearance, and his appearance does not change."
It's not impossible. However, this person is both good and evil, and his temperament is unstable. It's better for Sister Fu to avoid him as much as possible."
"But...but..." Guo Fu felt her mind was in chaos, and she felt a little confused for a moment.
She suddenly understood why after she came back, Guo Jing and Huang Rong kept it secret and did not mention seeking revenge against Chen Xuan at all, especially since Guo Jing's attitude towards her became more and more indifferent.
Guo Fu twirled her fingers unconsciously, feeling startled and scared in her heart.
