Chapter 509 The Debate of Loyalty and Filial Piety
Everyone was a little shocked when they heard this. Although the Quanzhen Sect did not send all their strength in this Xiangyang Battle, Shen Qingchen alone had already supported the entire journey of the twenty-eight constellations formation. If he led the disciples of the Quanzhen Sect to leave, it would be a huge loss for Xiangyang City. And the subsequent impact was immeasurable. Thinking of this, everyone looked at Fang Zhixing to see what they said. As for Zhou Botong, an old naughty boy in the Quanzhen Sect present, he was naturally ignored by everyone.
Zhou Botong has never had any say in the sect and doesn't care about it. Fang Zhixing said: "Uncle Qiu just passed away. The Quanzhen Sect is a bit unstable and requires masters to take charge. If he cannot make a northern expedition in the near future, Master Qingchen needs to return as soon as possible. Please understand the inappropriate aspects!"
Hearing this, everyone knew that the two of them were indeed true, but they couldn't help but frown secretly. Shen Qingchen was just a junior. If he had no support from Fang Zhixing, how could he dare to say this? Everyone thought about it for a moment and knew that this must be Fang Zhixing's explanation. The Twenty-Eight Constellations Formation was changed by Huang Yaoshi based on the Tiangang Beidou Formation and the Four Symbols and Five Elements. If there were no people like Quanzhen Sect, it would be difficult to supplement. The power would definitely not be as great as today. For Xiangyang City, it was really not good news. Hong Qigong said: "The Mongolian army has not retreated, and the Northern Expedition is even more important. Why should you Quanzhen disciples hurry to leave? I am still a little bit of face in the martial arts world, and people will definitely take care of Quanzhen disciples in the north." When it comes to masters, even the Beggars' Sect, they are somewhat inferior to Quanzhen Sect. Hong Qigong also wants to keep the group of people brought by Shen Qingchen.
Fang Zhixing smiled faintly, did not respond, but said to everyone: "Whether to raise an army? Please decide as soon as possible!"
Upon hearing this, everyone knew that Fang Zhixing had made up his mind and forced everyone to agree to his plan. Although they were unhappy, everyone also thought about it and measured the pros and cons. However, most people looked at Guo Jing. As the leader of the Xiangyang Martial Arts Conference, the elite soldiers in the city were trained by Guo Jing, and only he is the real person to make the decision.
If an ordinary person was in the face of so many top masters, he would definitely not be able to withstand it. However, as one of the top masters in the world and having experienced a long battle formation, Guo Jing had a sense of majesty. Faced with such great pressure, he still remained calm and his body remained motionless, and he was concentrating on thinking. Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but nodded secretly. As a commander, although Guo Jing was slightly inadequate in his ability to lead the army, it was extremely appropriate for everyone present to surpass him.
After a long time, Guo Jing said in a deep voice: "Guo still said that the Northern Expedition is OK, but it is not OK to be free. If we raise an army without permission, how can we gain a foothold in Xiangyang after being regarded as rebellious by the court? Who will follow after the Northern Expedition? As long as Guo is in Xiangyang for one day, he will not allow others to do anything randomly!" The words were firm and he had a sense of awe.
Upon hearing this, Fang Zhixing frowned and said, "If the Lin'an court insisted on refusing it? Guo Daxia would have missed this opportunity?" He had expected Guo Jing's stubbornness, but after hearing his obvious warning, Fang Zhixing still felt a slump. If Guo Jing really refused to cooperate, the chances of success of this Northern Expedition would be very unlikely. The elite soldiers in Xiangyang City were all trained by Guo Jing. If someone else had replaced him, he would not be able to command for a long time.
Guo Jing said in a deep voice: "Guo will do his best to argue about the Northern Expedition. The imperial court will definitely not have people with discerning eyes."
"There are people in the court who are discerning, but I'm afraid they won't be valued. Moreover, we, the warriors, have always been taboo in the court. How can we win the trust of the people in the court? Yue Wumu made so many military achievements back then, and the Northern Expedition was about to be successful and was killed. Can we still compare with him?" Huang Yaoshi said. Among the people, he and Fang Zhixing were the most compatible and supported Fang Zhixing's plan. Seeing that Guo Jing was so stubborn, he finally stood up.
"Although Yue Wumu was killed by a foolish monarch, he left the name of loyalty and righteousness. Who else is disrespectful in the world?" Guo Jing said loudly. He admired Yue Fei the most. When he heard Huang Yaoshi mention it, he immediately defended it.
Huang Yaoshi sneered and said, "Do you want to keep the name of loyalty and righteousness in Xiangyang? Hehe, Huang has really taken on a good son-in-law!"
Upon hearing this, Guo Jing suddenly turned red. He had heard people say such words on weekdays, but he had a clear conscience and ignored it. But at this time, he heard his father-in-law say this, but he felt differently. His lips opened several times, but he couldn't say it.
Hong Qigong knew that his disciple had always been rude. Seeing that he was forced to speak out by Huang Yaoshi, he said, "What, Huang Laoxie, aren't you saying that the most loyal and filial piety person in your life? What's wrong with Jing'er's words?" He always felt that it was inappropriate for Fang Zhixing's plan and did not agree very much. Seeing that Huang Yaoshi spoke, he also stood up.
Huang Yaoshi smiled and said, "What Huang respects is a loyal and filial person. How can he be such a foolish and loyal person? We will launch an army to fight against the court, but we will not be able to survive for a long time. What are the disloyalities? Is there any unfaithfulness? Isn't you just like my stupid son-in-law? Isn't you stupid and loyal people in Lin'an? Hehe, those people... don't say it!"
Hearing this, Mr. Hong Qigong couldn't help but stop and didn't know how to respond. If the Lin'an court made a little decision, he would definitely not miss this opportunity, and there was no need to argue here. However, Mr. Hong Qigong had no confidence in this regard. If he wanted to fight the Northern Expedition, what Fang Zhixing said was the best way to start a war on his own. However, in this case, although it was not a rebellion, it was no different from separatist rule. Mr. Hong Qigong was always a little unacceptable to this.
Seeing that Hong Qigong was silent and refused, Huang Yaoshi was about to pursue the victory, but suddenly he felt his arm move and he was already pulled by someone. However, Huang Rong looked at her husband, and his master was refuted by her father, worried that they would argue, so she grabbed her father. Seeing this, Huang Yaoshi sneered and said, "Why, are you afraid that I won't give your stupid husband a face? It's a pity for someone like him to control the troops of Xiangyang City!"
"Dad..." Huang Rong looked at Guo Jing's flushed face, pulled her father's arm, and said.
Although Huang Yaoshi did not care about Hong Qigong and Guo Jing, he cared about his daughter and said, "Okay! I won't say much about Dad. Guo Jing, Huang, please ask you, do you like this Northern Expedition? The success or failure of Xiangyang, the Han people are all in your mind. I hope you can think about it!"
