Chapter 532: Guo Jing and His Wife

"Old Senior Hong would naturally be the most suitable candidate."

"However, Old Senior Hong's whereabouts are erratic; let us decide on another candidate!"

"Logically speaking, it would be best for a powerhouse like the Five Absolutes to serve as our Alliance Master."

"But among the Five Absolutes, only Old Senior Hong of the Beggar Sect might possibly serve as Alliance Master; the others have no such intention."

"And Old Senior Hong's whereabouts are erratic year-round; otherwise, let us ask Hero Guo Jing to serve as Alliance Master."

"Yes, yes, yes."

"Let Hero Guo serve as Alliance Master. His strength is also at the Innate Realm, he is the son-in-law of Island Master Huang, and he is also a disciple of Old Senior Hong. It would be best for Hero Guo to serve as Alliance Master."

"But the problem is, Hero Guo is still on Peach Blossom Island; it is still somewhat difficult to invite him out of the mountains!"

"How about we ask Sect Master Ma Yu of the Quanzhen Sect to be this Alliance Master!"

As this person's voice fell, everyone cast their gazes toward the Quanzhen Sect's controller, Ma Yu.

And Ma Yu, upon seeing that the melon-eating had actually fallen on his own head, hurriedly explained to everyone:

"Fellow Daoists, for the sake of everyone's survival, it is fine for my Quanzhen Sect to exert some effort, but let someone else serve as this Alliance Master position!"

After speaking, Ma Yu cupped his hands toward everyone.

Seeing this, everyone stopped trying to persuade him.

It was just that, in this way, there was no one to serve as the Alliance Master position.

And at the same time, Hong Qi and Li Mochou also met the couple Guo Jing and Huang Rong on the road.

"Jing'er, Huang Rong girl!"

Upon seeing the two, Hong Qi could not help but reveal a smile on his face.

"Master! Seven Old Man!"

Seeing it was Hong Qi, the couple Guo Jing and Huang Rong were also overjoyed.

"Seven Old Man, why are you here?"

Hearing Huang Rong's words, Hong Qi smiled and said:

"I have come here specifically to find you two this time."

Upon hearing this, Guo Jing and Huang Rong were somewhat surprised.

One had to know that for all these years, it had always been the two of them who would take the initiative to find Hong Qi when they had something to do.

And Hong Qi had never taken the initiative to find them.

"Master, has something happened?"

Guo Jing asked Hong Qi with concern at this time.

"Hahaha, that is not the case."

"By the way, let me introduce you two."

"This person beside me is Li Mochou of the Ancient Tomb Sect; her strength has also reached the Innate Realm."

Saying this, Hong Qi introduced Li Mochou beside him to the two.

Guo Jing and his wife were somewhat surprised upon hearing it was Li Mochou.

One had to know that ever since Li Mochou joined the Great Han, she had not shown her face in the Jianghu.

And her previous reputation in the Jianghu was not very good.

Furthermore, they were also somewhat surprised by her strength.

They had not expected that Li Mochou's strength had actually reached the Innate Realm.

"Greetings, Daoist Li!"

The two cupped their fists toward Li Mochou with a smile.

"You two need not be polite; I have long admired your great names!"

Hong Qi, seeing that the three had finished their introductions, said to Guo Jing and his wife:

"Jing'er, this is not a place to talk; let us find a place to talk slowly."

"Very well, Master. Shaoxing Prefecture is ahead; let us go to Shaoxing Prefecture and talk."

Guo Jing, upon hearing this, led the group toward Shaoxing.

However, at this time, Huang Rong had discovered quite a few problems.

With her intelligence, she could see that the matter Hong Qi had come to find them for this time was no small matter.

Very quickly, the four arrived in Shaoxing Prefecture.

And at this time, Shaoxing had also received news of the Southern Song's destruction.

The City Lord of Shaoxing had already dispatched personnel to head to Lin'an to see Lü Bu and the others.

In fact, it was not just Shaoxing Prefecture that had done this now.

As long as they had received the news, every city had already sent people to surrender to the Great Han.

The Southern Song court had already been destroyed; if they chose to defect to the Han army at this time, perhaps they could even secure an official position.

If they were lucky, perhaps they could even continue to serve in their current positions.

After all, the Han Kingdom also needed officials to govern.

Moreover, with the Han Kingdom's two great armies both out, half of the cities in the entire Great Song had now been taken by the Han army.

To tell the truth, if it weren't for Guo Jia and the others not having enough manpower to manage, the cities of the Southern Song would have long been under their control following the destruction of the Southern Song court.

After all, as long as the Southern Song court was destroyed, there was no need for the garrisons of those cities to continue resisting.

After the four found an inn, Hong Qi said to Guo Jia and his wife:

"Jing'er, I presume that along the way, you have also gained some understanding of the Han Kingdom. The current Great Song court has already been destroyed by the Han Kingdom's great army."

"And I, too, was defeated by the Han Kingdom's military advisor Guo Jia a few days ago; now I have already joined the Han Kingdom."

As Hong Qi's voice fell, Guo Jing and Huang Rong were both shocked.

They had not expected that an Innate Realm powerhouse as powerful as Hong Qi would actually be defeated by the Han Kingdom's military advisor.

The strength of this Han Kingdom was simply terrifyingly powerful.

At this time, Huang Rong cast her gaze toward Li Mochou on the side and said:

"Seven Old Man, does that mean Daoist Li, like you, has also joined the Han Kingdom?"

As intelligent as Huang Rong was, she had already seen the relationship between Hong Qi and Li Mochou.

"You are right. Daoist Li and I are now both Fourth-Rank Tribute of the Great Han's Hall of Worship."

"Moreover, coming to find you this time is also because I want you to join the Great Han with me."

As Hong Qi's voice fell, Guo Jing looked at Hong Qi in disbelief.

To him, they were all subjects of the Great Song; how could they defect to the Great Han?

"Master, why is this? The Han Kingdom destroyed the Great Song; they are rebels."

Guo Jing said to Hong Qi in disbelief.

Seeing this scene, the three of them were all somewhat speechless.

Even Huang Rong could not help but support her forehead.

She could not help but say to Guo Jing:

"Brother Jing, the Great Han is also our Han people."

"Moreover, after we arrived in the Great Song, the attitude of those Song people toward the Great Han was very good."

"They were all hoping for the Great Han to come and save them."

"This shows that the Great Han is already the direction of the people's hearts."

"And the Han Kingdom unifying the world is already an inevitable trend."

"For these years, the Song Kingdom has had no Dao, treacherous officials have been in power, the monarch has been muddle-headed, and the Song people have been living in misery."

"However, let us look at the Han Kingdom."

"How did they treat the common people in the cities they conquered?"

"They did not commit a single offense against the common people, and they even took back the land in the hands of the great clans and distributed it to the common people."

"Are these not the things we have been striving to do for these years?"

"Now, the Great Han has helped us realize this. You tell me, what reason do we have to oppose the Great Han's rule!" ===== CHAPTER 533 =====
