Yours truly, Ouyang Feng

Chapter 285 290, Changes in Fate, Destined Marriage
The seven people that Guo Xiaotian and Yang Tiexin met were naturally the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan.

In the past, Ouyang Feng and Huang Yaoshi traveled around the world and passed through Jiaxing, where they met the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan. Admiring their chivalrous deeds of fighting against the enemy with a small number of people and disregarding their own safety to eradicate evil gangs, Ouyang Feng stayed and taught them martial arts for seven days.

Although the teaching was only seven days long, what were Ouyang Feng and Huang Yaoshi's abilities?
In particular, Ouyang Feng also taught them the Yi Jin and Jian Gu chapter.

Many years have passed, and Han Xiaoying, who was only seven or eight years old at the time, has grown into a graceful young lady. The martial arts of the Jiangnan Seven Freaks have also become more and more advanced, and they have gradually made a great name for themselves in the Jiangnan martial arts world. When the seven of them join forces, they are hard to beat in the Jiangnan martial arts world.

Last year, the Seven Monsters heard that the Yong Kingdom had risen in the west, invaded Guanzhong, and raised troops to attack the Jin Dynasty, with the potential to destroy the Jin Dynasty in one fell swoop. Out of curiosity, they inquired and were shocked to learn that the prime minister of the Yong Kingdom was actually named Huang Yaoshi.

In addition, the Yong Kingdom also had a divine general who once conquered the Western Regions and destroyed Western Xia. He was revered as a god of war by the people of Yong. His name was Ouyang Feng.

Ever since they parted ways that year, the Seven Freaks had actually been paying attention to inquiring about the news of Ouyang Feng and Huang Yaoshi, and had always wanted to find the two young seniors to thank them for teaching them skills.

However, since that trip that year, Ouyang Feng gradually focused his activities on exploring the outer worlds and improving his cultivation, and he never walked around in the main world again.

Although he founded the Huashan Sect, he soon disappeared behind the scenes. The Huashan disciples also did a very good job of keeping it secret. At his request, they never mentioned his name when they went down the mountain, so he remained unknown. People only knew about Huashan Jade Girl Lin Chaoying, but did not know that the founder of Huashan Sect was Ouyang Feng.

Ouyang Feng was like a hermit from the world, a dragon from outer space, and Huang Yaoshi was also elusive and unpredictable.

The Seven Freaks could neither find out any news about Ouyang Feng nor the whereabouts of Huang Yaoshi, and they had always felt deeply regretful.

After finally hearing the two names, the Seven Monsters were surprised and delighted, even though they didn't know why one of them became the prime minister of a country, and the other a famous general who destroyed a country, and they immediately set off north.

After heading north, they witnessed with their own eyes the power of the dragon riders, the ferocity of the wolf riders, and the horror of firearms.

We also saw the invincible Yong Army, whose military discipline was comparable to the legendary Yue Army.

We also saw the transformation of the Jin people's attitude towards the Yong army from fear to acceptance and then to support.

Later, the Seven Freaks went to Guanzhong again, climbed Mount Hua, and finally met Ouyang Feng and Huang Yaoshi.

Compared to the past, the two predecessors were more heroic and handsome, and their temperaments were more mature, but they did not have the majestic and solemn appearance of the prime ministers of a great country or the generals who destroyed a nation as imagined.

In front of these seven old friends from the underworld who came from the market, the two seniors did not look down on them at all because of the difference in their status, nor did they act superior at all. They were still as kind and amiable as they were in the past, treating them like their own juniors.

Such treatment moved the Seven Monsters deeply.

After that, they lived in Huashan for a while, learned a lot of new skills, and traveled around Guanzhong, witnessing with their own eyes the prosperity and stability of Guanzhong under the rule of Dayong.

When the Yong army began to attack Shu, the Seven Freaks also followed the army with the commission of Ouyang Feng and Huang Yaoshi, but they did not participate in the war and were only responsible for supervising military discipline.

The Seven Freaks completed their mission very well and captured quite a few soldiers who were looting in private - those who did this were not originally from the Yong army, but almost all of them were Song soldiers who surrendered and were willing to continue serving in the army and were incorporated into the Yong army.

Many people in the Song army felt that the Yong army was invincible and had even destroyed the Jin Dynasty. They would unify the world sooner or later. They were willing to follow the Yong army to fight for a career, so many of them were willing to continue serving in the army after surrendering.

When these surrendered Song soldiers joined the army, their generals had repeatedly emphasized military discipline. However, the long-standing atmosphere still made many of the surrendered Song soldiers not take it seriously and could not control themselves in private.

For those soldiers who do not take military discipline seriously, no matter how brave and good at fighting they are, they will not be let off easily. Every one of them will be tried by military law and executed according to the law.

The victims also received reasonable compensation.

With powerful, ferocious and unstoppable dragon riders and wolf riders as well as such strict military discipline, Dayong not only swept through Hanzhong and Bashu like a mountain torrent, wiping out all resistance, but also quickly won the hearts of the people.

The people of Bashu were just like the people of Jin. They were skeptical at first, then accepted, and finally supported enthusiastically.

As people of Song Dynasty, the Seven Monsters were undoubtedly excited when they saw the Yong army destroy the Jin Dynasty.

But when the Yong army invaded Bashu, they felt somewhat complicated.

However, in Guanzhong under the rule of Yong State, the officials were honest and capable, the people were not cold or hungry, and there were no beggars; in the areas occupied by Yong State, the people welcomed the love of the royal teacher with food and drink; and on Mount Hua, the grand vision that Ouyang Feng and Huang Yaoshi had explained to them, made the Seven Monsters admit that it was better to let Senior Ouyang and Senior Huang rule the world.

As Senior Ouyang said, the North and the South have been divided for too many years.

The southerners and northerners, who originally had the same origin, language and culture, would probably become real enemies if they did not reunify.

However, the Song Dynasty, which was comfortable in culture and martial arts and had been intoxicated by the elegance and wealth of the south of the Yangtze River, was obviously unable to undertake this mission.

Only Dayong, only Senior Ouyang and Senior Huang, can achieve unification and restore the glory of Han and Tang dynasties to China.

and so.

After Dayong completely occupied Bashu, the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan went south along the Yangtze River and returned to Jiangnan with the mission of spreading Dayong's policies and contacting internal forces.

They don't care about being called traitors.

Because Dayong is not a foreign enemy.

But it is the orthodox Chinese tradition that inherits the mandate of heaven.

The Yong State destroyed the Jin State to drive out the barbarians, and the Yong State attacked the Song State, just like the Sui Dynasty destroyed the Southern Chen Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty unified the world. It was a necessary war for the orthodox Chinese to end the division and unify the world.

Not only will the Yong State not harm the people, but it will also bring a better life to the people of the world.

It can also bring dignity to the people that the Song Dynasty cannot give.

The Han and Tang dynasties were the glorious empire of the Celestial Empire.

The people under the rule of the Song Dynasty will never feel such pride and dignity.

From Bashu along the river eastward to the territory of the Song Dynasty, the Seven Monsters did see some places actively preparing for war. But the further east they went, the weaker the war atmosphere became.

When we arrived at Lin'an City, we didn't see any sign of the tension of an impending war.

Whether rich or poor, there was a scene of peace and prosperity everywhere, with singing and dancing.

Apart from the government posting notices everywhere, openly spreading rumors and slandering the Yong State, and calling on the people to join the army and make donations, there was really no war atmosphere at all.

The warm breeze in Lin'an still makes the tourists intoxicated.

As for the imperial guards of Lin'an Prefecture, they were still like gangsters. Not to mention compared with the Yong army, they were even far inferior to the Song soldiers from Bashu.

"The Song Dynasty is about to end."

As he walked out of the teahouse, Ke Zhenwu sighed:

"There won't even be a war in Lin'an Prefecture. When Dayong attacked, before the troops even reached the city, I'm afraid everyone in Lin'an would have surrendered."

Zhu Cong said with a smile:
"I heard that after the Jin court fled to Liaoyang, everyone lost their fighting spirit. The entire winter, from the emperor to the dignitaries to the common people, all the Jurchens were living a life of drunkenness and dreaming, seizing the last moments to enjoy themselves. I don't think Lin'an will be any different. Living in peace and comfort is only a way to escape for a short time, not for the rest of your life."

"After all, it's crooked from the root."

Nancy Ren said coldly:

"Ever since Wanyan Gou and Qin Hui murdered Grandpa Yue, this small imperial court was destined to be unable to shoulder the heavy responsibility of unifying the north and the south. It's a pity that so many loyal ministers, famous generals, heroes and righteous men fought against the barbarians, but only helped the Zhao family to live in peace and prosperity."

"There will be retribution in the end." Ke Zhen'e said coldly: "The prosperity and wealth of the Zhao Song officials will come to an end."

As he was speaking, a loud shout came from the front:
"That's them! They are the Baoyong spies! Not only did they resist arrest, they also beat up two of my brothers!"

The seven weirdos looked in the direction of the sound and saw that it was the captain of the imperial guards who had been scared away before, who was now leading a team of soldiers and rushing over aggressively. Looking at this team of only a few hundred people, the seven weirdos of Jiangnan sneered.

If there were hundreds of heavily-armored wolf riders, they could only take advantage of the fact that they were carrying a lighter load and get away with it.

But how could a few hundred Lin'an Imperial Guards, who were unable to wear heavy armor, show off their might in front of them?
The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan rushed forward towards the hundreds of imperial guards who were aggressive but had a crooked formation and did not have the slightest sense of sternness.

Han Xiaoying rushed to the front, with her sword unsheathed, and faced the dozen arrows that were shot at her at an angle. She used the "arrow-breaking style", and the cold stars twinkled like stars in the sky. In an instant, she easily knocked away the dozen long arrows.

She was still young when she learned the Yi Jin Duan Gu Chapter, which was the most effective. Not only did it help her develop deep internal strength from the outside in, but it also greatly improved her aptitude for bones and physique, and her swordsmanship skills became very solid. Therefore, she learned the Dugu Nine Swords in Huashan last year.

After Han Xiaoying broke the arrow with one sword, Ke Zhen'e and the other six monsters rushed forward, wielding all kinds of strange weapons and charging into the imperial guards like tigers.

Screams suddenly rang out.

In just a dozen or so breaths, more than half of the hundreds of imperial guards were lying down, with broken limbs and wailing. The remaining imperial guards scattered and fled in a panic.

The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan laughed loudly and walked away.

Guo Xiaotian and Yang Tiexin, who were following behind the Seven Monsters, looked at the imperial guards who had come with such a fierce and arrogant momentum, and fled like wolves and pigs. They sighed deeply again and quickly chased in the direction the Seven Monsters left.

They chased them all the way out of the city, to the bank of Qiantang River, in front of a forest. The Seven Freaks suddenly stopped and looked back at Guo Xiaotian and Yang Tiexin who were running out of breath.

"You two have followed us all the way from the city to here. What can I do for you?" Ke Zhen'e asked in a deep voice.

"us……"

Guo Xiaotian took a breath, and he and Yang Tiexin clasped their fists and bowed to the Seven Devils, saying:

"My name is Guo Xiaotian, and this is my sworn brother Yang Tiexin. The reason why the two of us chased after the seven of you is just to find out whether what this girl said about Dayong is true or false."

Ke Zhen'e snorted coldly and said:

"Although the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan are small-time people, they never lie or boast. Believe it or not!"

“The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan?” Yang Tiexin was slightly startled. Although he and Guo Xiaotian had settled in Lin’an Prefecture only a year ago, he had occasionally heard of the reputation of the Seven Freaks. He immediately asked, “Are they the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan from Jiaxing Prefecture?”

Ke Zhen'e said: "It's the Seven Monsters, not the Seven Heroes!"

Zhu Cong waved his folding fan and said with a smile:

"Friends in the martial arts world are kind enough to call us the Seven Heroes, but we all have weird tempers and don't want to be the Seven Heroes. We just want to be the Seven Monsters."

Yang Tiexin said solemnly:

"Since they are the Seven... Weirdos of Jiangnan, then it seems that Yong State is really completely different from what the Song government has said."

Zhu Cong smiled and said:

"Oh? You trust us so much?"

Yang Tiexin said:

"My elder brother and I have heard about the deeds of the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan. We know that you are all loyal men who keep your promises and are not corrupted by wealth or power. Of course, Yang trusts the Seven Freaks more than the government of Song."

Guo Xiaotian also said:
"The reputation of the Song government is far inferior to that of the seven heroes. My second brother and I live in Niujia Village, which is not far from here. If you don't mind, you can go to our house for a drink. My second brother and I have a lot of things that we would like to ask you for your advice!"

The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan were highly skilled and bold, and had been in the streets since childhood, so they were quite good at judging people. They could see that Guo Xiaotian and Yang Tiexin were both generous and open-minded people. Seeing their sincere invitation, the Seven Freaks, who were already responsible for publicity, did not refuse and followed Guo and Yang to Niujia Village for a drink.

……

"Guo Xiaotian, Yang Tiexin..."

Ouyang Feng looked at the two names that appeared in the work report written by Zhu Cong and sent back by the Seven Monsters, and a subtle smile appeared in his eyes.

Of these two, one is the father of one generation of Son of the Plane, and the other is the grandfather of the next generation of Son of the Plane. Ouyang Feng originally thought that their fate might change because of the storm he created, but he did not expect that Guo and Yang would go south to Song State and settle down in Niujia Village. One of them has already married, and the other is about to get married.

The slightly different thing is that they got to know the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan in advance, so they will not encounter the misfortune that would destroy their family in the future.

I don’t know where this change will lead the fate of the Guo and Yang families.

"Fate is truly indescribable."

Ouyang Feng thought to himself that it seemed that Guo Jing and Yang Kang would still be born - maybe their names would no longer be Jing and Kang, but it was not a bad idea to continue to be called Jing and Kang.

Bi Jing and Kang originally represent beautiful visions and are not tied to the "Jing Kang Shame".

Thinking of Guo Jing and Yang Kang, Ouyang Feng remembered something and wrote a letter.

Soon, the letter arrived on Huang Yaoshi's desk.

"It's incomprehensible. Why can't we say it in person? Why do we have to write a letter?"

Huang Yaoshi felt a little strange when he saw the letter, but since Ouyang Feng had written to him with great difficulty, he still solemnly unfolded the letter and read it sentence by sentence.

"After you pacify Jiangnan, you should return to your hometown and find a wife?"

When he first read the letter, Huang Yaoshi almost thought that Ouyang Feng's letter was just a joke.

but……

"Previous life karma? I don't believe you!"

Huang Yaoshi sneered, wondering if the old villain Ouyang had gone astray in his practice of cultivating immortality.

But after his instinctive suspicion, he couldn't help but feel a little curious.

Ouyang Feng’s current realm is truly unfathomable.

Huang Yaoshi could no longer tell what level Ouyang Feng had reached over the years.

So, he can’t really be able to tell fortunes, can he tell me my destined marriage?

After a long pause, curiosity overwhelmed everything. Huang Yaoshi pondered inwardly:
"Well, this time to destroy Song, I will personally lead the troops to Lin'an and see if the old villain Ouyang is right!"

After the autumn harvest of that year.

The troops of Dayong were divided into two routes. One route went out of Kuimen from Shu, went down the river and headed straight for Jiangling.

They traveled by land and attacked Xiangyang.

The war to destroy the Song Dynasty officially began.
