Chapter 306: He Became Obedient After a Beating
Guo Jing frowned, and after a while he said, "Guo'er, I will contact the court as soon as possible and explain your situation to them. I will not leave you in a situation where you are helpless."
Huang Rong wanted to say something but stopped herself in the end.
When Xin Zhen heard Guo Jing's promise, he smiled and nodded, "Okay, thank you Uncle Guo."
He actually had other ideas at first, but after seeing the performance of Guo Jing and Huang Rong, he stopped thinking about the rest.
But it's actually okay. He didn't have high expectations for the Song Dynasty in the first place. He came here just to give it a try. If he could hit it, that would be great. If not, it would be fine.
The rulers and ministers of the Song Dynasty were too suspicious. Even a loyal and brave general like Xin Qiji was not valued after returning to the south. It was very difficult for these northerners fighting in the north to get the support of the Song Dynasty, and they had to be on guard against the Song Dynasty stabbing them in the back all the time.
At this point, Xin Zhen didn't want to say anything more.
However, Guo Jing was in a talkative mood and talked a lot with Xin Zhen. If there were not many things to be dealt with at the upcoming Heroes Conference, Guo Jing might have even pulled Xin Zhen to sleep with his feet together.
It was late at night, Xin Zhen went to rest, while Guo Jing and his wife were still in the study.
Guo Jing was quite excited and said to Huang Rong, "Guo'er is completely different from his father. My brother Yang Kang is greedy for fame and fortune, disregards his country, and regards a traitor as his father, but Guo'er cares about the world. It is hard to imagine that they are actually father and son.
Alas, if only Guoer didn't have to become a monk, it would be perfect for Fuer to be a perfect match with Guoer."
Huang Rong felt mixed emotions, she had always felt that Xin Zhen had bad intentions, but now she couldn't see anything wrong with him, on the contrary, he did it perfectly.
His character, martial arts, and patriotism, none of them were blameworthy. But the more so, the more Huang Rong felt that it was unreal, and the more she felt that Xin Zhen was pretending.
But Xin Zhen did everything so perfectly that she couldn't even say anything to Guo Jing.
Guo Jing looked at Huang Rong's unhappy look and thought that his wife was in a bad mood because of her pregnancy, so he comforted her: "You don't have to feel sorry. Fu'er and Guo'er are not destined to be together, but there are still Da Wu and Da Wu. They are both very good to Fu'er. No matter which one, they are very good."
Huang Rong nodded reluctantly.
Guo Jing added: "You are pregnant now, so hand over the affairs of the Beggars' Sect as soon as possible and take good care of the baby."
Huang Rong heard her husband's concern for her, smiled and nodded, saying: "I have never been involved in the affairs of the Beggars' Sect, but it is indeed time to hand it over. I will pass the Dog Beating Stick Technique back to the Beggars' Sect, and then let them handle it themselves."
Guo Jing nodded, and the couple said some more caring words to each other.
Xin Zhen left the study and found the courtyard of Quanzhen Sect. Shi Qinggong and others were guarding the door. When they saw Xin Zhen coming, they ran over and said, "Junior brother, you are here."
Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Well, I just finished chatting with my uncle Guo. Has the great-grandmaster taken a rest?"
Shi Qinggong smiled and said, "My uncle-master knew you were coming, and he ordered that when you arrive, he would take you directly to his room."
Xin Zhen nodded and said, "Thank you for your help, Senior Brother."
Shi Qinggong, Sang Qingzhao and others said, "Guard the door well and don't be lazy."
Sang Qingzhao and others should be.
Xin Zhen shook his head and smiled. Shi Qinggong led the way from the side and whispered, "Master Zhao looked very unhappy tonight. After he came back, he found an opportunity to scold a few of us. The meaning of his words was quite indirect. I think he was targeting you." Xin Zhen stopped and looked at Shi Qinggong. Shi Qinggong felt a little uneasy when he was looked at by Xin Zhen. He quickly said, "Junior brother, I am not exaggerating. You are the leader of our Changchun lineage. Now everyone knows privately that Master Qiu wants to push you up. Master Zhao's intention to go up is obvious. He has been unhappy with our lineage for a long time..."
Xin Zhen laughed and said, "That's not what I meant. What I meant was, are you just going to let him scold you like this?"
Shi Qinggong smiled bitterly and said, "He is the elder, and I am the younger. Can I refute him?"
Xin Zhen laughed and said, "Wouldn't you like to ask Master Zhao for some pointers?"
Shi Qinggong widened his eyes and whispered, "This won't work, doesn't it? Wouldn't that be considered beating an elder?"
Xin Zhen snorted and said, "He has no shame, why are you giving him face? Some people can't be reasoned with. If you beat him up, he will know how powerful he is."
Shi Qinggong was still a little worried and said, "Will this be detrimental to unity? Junior brother, if you really have the opportunity to go up in the future, if we offend other clans, I'm afraid it will be difficult to end it."
Xin Zhen smiled. It seemed that Shi Qinggong must have fought a lot of fights along the way, and his confidence had increased. After he said this, Shi Qinggong did not doubt whether he could beat Zhao Zhijing at the first moment, but was worried that he would beat Zhao Zhijing and cause trouble.
Xin Zhen said: "Everyone is afraid of power but not virtue, so a beating would be better. As for who is united or not, the stronger the Changchun lineage is, the more united the Quanzhen people will be. If you, Shi Qinggong, can defeat Zhao Zhijing, then not many people will dare to be disunited."
Shi Qinggong was stunned after hearing Xin Zhen's outrageous remarks, but after thinking about it, if he, who was not even the top among the four generations of disciples in Changchun, could beat up Zhao Zhijing, the top disciple among the third generation, then people from other branches would probably be willing to unite, right?
When Shi Qinggong thought of this, a malicious smile appeared on his face. Xin Zhen felt uncomfortable and said, "Hey, senior brother, don't think of yourself as a villain. Your smile is very villain-like."
Shi Qinggong quickly stopped smiling.
Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Zhao Zhijing has been suppressing and provoking our lineage all the time. The other lines have seen all of this. Just challenge him openly and beat him up. Then Master Uncle Zhen Zhibing will naturally protect you."
Shi Qinggong exclaimed, "Didn't you protect me?"
Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Hey, Senior Brother, I am only a fourth-generation disciple."
Shi Qinggong rolled his eyes.
Xin Zhen laughed and said, "Don't worry, Grandmaster Datong won't make things difficult for you, but Sanren Qingjing might have some complaints, but at most he'll just give you a beating. Brother, are you afraid of the pain?"
Shi Qinggong smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not afraid of the pain, but is it really just a beating?"
Xin Zhen's eyes widened in surprise: "I just accidentally hurt the elder when I was asking him to teach me martial arts. Isn't a beating enough?"
Shi Qinggong: “…”
Xin Zhen said, "Stop talking nonsense. If you don't want to fight me, then I'll go find Senior Brother Xu Qinglin."
"Hey, don't worry, Junior Brother! I didn't say I wouldn't do it." Shi Qinggong quickly stopped Xin Zhen.
Xin Zhen glanced at Shi Qinggong.
