Chapter 21

Seeing Guo Jing ascend the list, Zhao Gou laughed excitedly.

"Good, this is truly great!"

"My Great Song truly has someone capable of ascending the list."

"Prime Minister, send someone to pass an imperial decree, asking Guo Jing to enter the palace."

"I want to bestow rewards upon him!"

Zhao Gou said impatiently.

He had said not long ago that he wanted a Great Song martial artist capable of ascending the Heaven's Pride List.

Now it had immediately come true; at this moment, Zhao Gou was even more certain that he was the True Dragon Son of Heaven, the child most beloved by Father Heaven.

"Your Majesty, Guo Jing is merely a martial brute; if he were to enter the imperial court rashly, I fear it would cause dissatisfaction among the ministers in the court."

Qin Gui thought for a moment and said.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gou immediately calmed down.

He also realized that he had indeed been a bit impulsive just now.

The principle of Great Song had always been to value literature and belittle martial arts.

Even if there was a need for a martial brute from the Jianghu to unite the people of the Jianghu, there was no need for the imperial court to bestow rewards directly.

"The Prime Minister's words are reasonable!"

"Prime Minister, send someone to make contact with Guo Jing."

"See if he is willing to serve the imperial court."

"If he is willing, you can secretly give him some promises!"

Zhao Gou said after pondering for a moment.

"As you command!"

Qin Gui said with his head bowed.

Although he said so on the surface, he would absolutely not go to contact Guo Jing.

In Qin Gui's view, these Jianghu martial brutes would only hinder his plans.

He was the deepest pawn planted by the Jin Dynasty in Southern Song.

If Zhao Gou asked about it afterward, he would just need to find some random excuse to muddle through.

Southern Song Imperial Palace.

Hong Qigong, who was stealing food in the Imperial Kitchen, saw Guo Jing ascend the list and laughed, taking a huge bite of roast chicken.

"Jing'er has actually ascended the list too."

"I, the old beggar, truly did not misjudge the person."

Hong Qigong laughed loudly.

Afterward, he took a few more delicious items and left the Southern Song Imperial Palace.

After he left, an old eunuch appeared in the Imperial Kitchen.

"This Hong Qigong still cannot change his gluttonous habit."

"Coming to the palace to eat things time and time again."

"Fortunately, he has not done anything bad, otherwise I would not let him off!"

The red-robed old eunuch's voice was like a duck's quack.

Immediately after, he waved his hand casually, and the Imperial Kitchen returned to its original state.

If Hong Qigong were still here, he would be able to tell at a glance that this red-robed eunuch was an Earth Immortal Realm martial artist.

If Dongfang Bubai of Black Wood Cliff were here, he would be able to recognize that the technique the red-robed eunuch used was the Sunflower Manual!

"Those people in the imperial court are truly becoming more and more restless!"

The red-robed eunuch sighed deeply and left the Imperial Kitchen.

His mission was to protect the Emperor from being assassinated; as for matters in the imperial court, even if he could not stand to watch, he could not intervene at will.

Seeing Guo Jing ascend the list, Ying Ziyu's mind conjured up the eccentric Huang Rong.

"This girl is truly persistent, always looking for me."

"I wonder what her reaction will be after she finds out my true identity."

Ying Ziyu shook his head with a smile.

He was very clear about the fact that the confidantes he had encountered were always looking for him.

The reason he had not shown himself was because he had his own plans.

It was not because he was afraid, but because the timing was not yet right.

After dealing with the internal affairs of Great Qin, he could bring all these confidantes to his side.

While fulfilling greater ambitions, he could live a happy and blissful life.

Living a life of holding the power of the world while awake, and sleeping on the knees of beauties while drunk.

"Master, this servant has heard of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and the Nine Yin Manual; both of these techniques are top-tier techniques in the Nine Provinces."

"This person named Guo Jing has good luck, being able to learn both at the same time."

"In the future, a Grandmaster will inevitably be born in the Southern Song Jianghu."

Jiang Yuyan said with a smile.

She did not care about Guo Jing at all.

She just wanted to talk more with Ying Ziyu.

Only in this way did she feel that she, as a maid, could have a sense of presence in front of Ying Ziyu.

"Cultivating to Grandmaster with the Nine Yin Manual is definitely not a problem."

"Guo Jing, this person, looks silly and foolish, and his own talent is not very good."

"However, his character is very resilient, belonging to the kind of person who never yields."

"Another thing is, he has a sentiment for his country and the world; 'the great hero, for the country and the people' is exactly what describes a person like Guo Jing."

Ying Ziyu gave an evaluation of Guo Jing.

When he watched The Legend of the Condor Heroes and The Return of the Condor Heroes back then, Ying Ziyu admired Guo Jing very much.

This person was a great hero in the true sense!

Even knowing that the power of Great Song could not withstand the Yuan Dynasty.

Yet, he still held Xiangyang and resisted the Yuan soldiers.

"Being able to receive such a high evaluation from Master, it seems this Guo Jing is indeed a figure!"

Jiang Yuyan secretly noted down this person, Guo Jing, in her heart.

Ever since the Heaven's Pride List came out, she had also learned from her master about the news of many geniuses from all over the Nine Provinces.

Knowing the affairs of the world without stepping out of the door; this ability of her master is truly formidable.

Great Yuan!

Seeing Guo Jing ascend the list, Temujin was so angry that he threw the knife he was using to cut mutton directly onto the ground.

"Damn Guo Jing!"

"I married my most precious daughter to him."

"He actually refused!"

"Now he has even joined the Southern Song and become an enemy of my Great Yuan."

"One day, I will kill him with my own hands!"

Temujin said angrily.

He had originally sincerely wanted to marry his daughter Hua Zheng to Guo Jing, making Guo Jing the Golden Blade Prince Consort of Great Yuan.

In the end, it turned into an enemy.

Temujin had to sigh and say that fortune plays tricks on people.

"A dignified Golden Blade Prince Consort has now actually become a person of Southern Song."

"Guo Jing has made my Great Yuan the laughingstock of the Nine Provinces."

"He must be killed with my own hands!"

Ba Si Ba said.
