"What? You want to rebel!"
Guo Jing was truly terrified! He had thought of many things, including asking him to agree to Yang Guo and Li Mochou's relationship, and asking him and Huang Rong to help manage the martial arts world... But he never imagined that Xiaolongnu would actually rebel!
Even Huang Rong, who was always known for her eccentricity and unruliness, never imagined that Xiaolongnu's request would be so shocking!
Xiao Longnu exuded a hint of power and pushed the two men back to their seats... She was showing her strength and also trying to intimidate them!
"Indeed, Hero Guo, you heard me right. I am going to rebel!"
"Why?" Guo Jing ignored the pressure on his body and looked directly at Xiaolongnu. His eyes were filled with confusion and questioning!
"Master, you have already reached the Xiantian realm and now have defeated the Mongolian Imperial Master, making you unrivaled. Whether in the martial arts world or among the common people, no one can pose any threat to you. Why do you seek to overthrow the imperial court? Have you ever considered that once a war breaks out, the entire Central Plains will be littered with corpses, and the people will suffer misery!
Although Guo is not well-educated, he is loyal to the emperor, patriotic, and dedicated to protecting the people! Even if it costs Guo his life, he will never tolerate anyone destroying this rare peace!
Xiao Longnu looked at Guo Jing quietly without saying a word, but her eyes drifted towards Huang Rong...
She had discussed this scene with Di Fan when she was looking for the Bodhi Snake in Xiangyang, and they also discussed how to deal with and answer it!
"Boss Huang, do you think the same as Hero Guo?"
Guo Jing turned around and looked at Huang Rong with great confidence! He believed that his lover, like himself, would also protect the Song Dynasty!
However, what he never expected was that his wife actually hesitated!
"lady!"
Guo Jing looked at Huang Rong in disbelief, and Huang Rong looked at Guo Jing apologetically... She was smarter than Guo Jing, and could see the situation more clearly than Guo Jing... As the daughter of Huang Yaoshi, who was well-read and knowledgeable in astronomy and geography, her sensitivity to history and politics was much stronger than Guo Jing's!
When Guo Jing insisted on staying in Xiangyang, she had already foreseen the future... It was just because of her experience, or perhaps it was the subtle influence of imperial power over the years, that she could not think of rebelling... But today, Xiaolongnu's words made her see, or find, the only hope for the Guo family and even the people!
"Master, why do you want to rebel? How do you want to rebel? I need a detailed plan..."
"lady!"
"Shut up!" Huang Rong was furious and slapped Guo Jing on the head. "You stay in the Guo Mansion all day long, either eating and drinking with heroes or going out to fight the Mongolian army. You know nothing about the real situation! Do you know that in recent years, the Beggars' Sect has been expanding and the number of beggars has been increasing wildly?
You also know that the armaments of the garrison troops in various places have almost disappeared, and the number of troops stationed on the border is even smaller and smaller! And every year, more than 100,000 people die in Mongolia! And this number is constantly rising! And yet, the emperor and his ministers are reveling every night, and the lights are on day and night?"
Huang Rong's furious words caught Di Fan and Xiao Longnu completely by surprise! They had originally only intended to use some modern thinking to get Huang Rong to investigate and verify things herself... Little did they know, Huang Rong had already taken control of the entire world with the help of the Beggars' Sect, the world's largest intelligence agency!
Huang Rong is indeed Huang Rong, and she is indeed the most powerful female sage in Jin Yong's world.
I was wondering, how could she have become that foolish, calculating housewife in history by the time she reached middle age... Could it be that she actually knew everything, but was powerless to change, coupled with her husband's blind loyalty, that's what made her become like that?
[At the end, she watched her husband die, her son perished in battle, and her eldest daughter and son-in-law died fighting against the Mongol army. Only her youngest daughter escaped to Mount Emei, but she was broken by love. Perhaps her final death was also her choice after she had lost all hope...]
[She married for love, but died of paranoia. It’s unclear whether this foolishly loyal husband is a blessing or his greatest misfortune…]
Di Fan sighed inwardly for Huang Rong. This was the first time Xiao Longnu had heard Di Fan's evaluation of Huang Rong. A remarkable woman, incredibly intelligent, with profound political and military foresight. This person must be brought under his wing!
Xiaolongnu made a decision secretly, but in reality, Guo Jing was stunned by Huang Rong's yelling, and had no idea why his wife was so furious.
Is this still Rong'er, who was gentle and considerate to him, always obeying him and doing what he wanted? Could it be that his wife was possessed by a demon?
"Rong'er..."
"I said, shut up!" Huang Rong took a deep breath and saw Guo Jing's extremely surprised and panicked eyes. She took a deep breath... Well, didn't she choose to marry Guo Jing because she valued his honesty?
It’s your own choice, even if you regret it now, you have to endure it!
"Brother Jing," Huang Rong sighed and explained, "The Song Dynasty is beyond saving! This is the truth!"
"how so……"
In one sentence, Guo Jing's faith was completely destroyed... He trusted his lover very much, and knew that his lover's wisdom was more than a hundred times greater than his own... Or, in fact, he also knew that the Song Dynasty was hopeless, but his mother's education over the years and the inheritance of the Guo family had made him foolishly deceive himself... Now, he was ruthlessly exposed.
Just like Huang Yaoshi... Could it be that he wasn't patriotic either? He'd simply seen through politics and the Song Dynasty long ago, which was why he chose to retreat to Peach Blossom Island and enjoy the world.
Huang Rong put Guo Jing aside for now. After all, convincing him would only take a few words! She looked at Xiaolongnu and asked seriously.
"Master, do you have a plan? You should know that without a complete plan, my wife and I would not gamble the lives of an entire prefecture and accompany you to your death!"
Li Mochou and Yang Guo, kneeling on the ground, looked at each other in bewilderment... Wait, weren't they just talking about their marriage? How did the situation suddenly change to such a lofty question as whether to rebel or not?
By the way, should they continue kneeling? This ground... is quite cold...
Xiao Longnu looked at Di Fan. Strategy wasn't really her strong point. At least right now, she was still young and still learning from Di Fan. It wasn't the right time for her to assume the responsibilities of Empress.
Di Fan also understood the meaning in Xiaolongnu's eyes, and took the initiative to step forward and explain to Huang Rong.
"It's simple. Surround the cities with the countryside..."
Di Fan spoke slowly, explaining the strategy of his previous life's great ancestor, and unfolded a picture that Huang Rong had never seen before...
