Yin Zhiping from The Condor Heroes, Immortality Begins from The Condor Heroes

The Mongolian side has three innates, while the Xiangyang side has only Guo Jing and Li Zhichang. The Mongolian side has the advantage in numbers.

In terms of quality, Guo Jing and Li Zhichang are definitely superior, one with Nine Yin and the other with Nine Yang.

Guo Jing can deal with Hadabaatar, but Li Zhichang may not be able to deal with the combined forces of King Jinlun and Ouyang Lie. In the end, the Mongolian side still has the upper hand.

Li Mochou's arrival equalized the numbers, so the Xiangyang side had the upper hand.

Although Li Mochou had never fought in the martial arts world, and even the news that she was in the innate realm was spread, Guo Jing had fought with Li Mochou before, and it could only be said that he could suppress her with all his strength, but it was not easy to win.

In the duel, Guo Jing was seriously injured and Li Mochou died.

This is Yin Zhiping's evaluation of the two people's strengths.

No matter what, Li Mochou's arrival is definitely a shot in the arm.

Zhu Ziliu hurriedly ordered the city gates to be opened and sent someone to notify Guo Jing and Huang Rong.

At this time, Guo Jing and Huang Rong definitely didn't have time to greet them, and Yin Zhiping and others didn't care about these nonsense.

Zhu Ziliu had important matters to attend to, and it happened that the Beggar Gang elder Lu Youjiao was nearby, so he led Yin Zhiping and others directly to the City Lord's Mansion, where Guo Jing, Huang Rong, Li Zhichang and others were all there.

Along the way, there were disciples of the Beggar Gang everywhere, and even more people from the martial arts world holding swords. Yin Zhiping felt that there were many more people than in the great battle ten years ago. Yin Zhiping expressed his doubts.

Lu Youjiao's expression was serious, and he said with a look of regret, "For years, the imperial court has been inactive. The Mongol army has been rampant, and many people have been unable to use their abilities. Now, when we heard that Hero Guo and Gang Leader Huang have come out to invite heroes from all over the world to gather in Xiangyang to fight the Mongols, many people with lofty ideals have come forward to help. This time, we will definitely be able to repel the Mongols and defend Xiangyang City."

Speaking of the latter part, Lu Youjiao seemed very confident.

Yin Zhiping thought about it and understood.

This era places particular emphasis on loyalty, filial piety, integrity and righteousness, with loyalty being the top priority.

No matter how much dissatisfaction there was with the imperial court, it was a family affair behind closed doors. No one would think of rebellion, and the most they would think of was to purge the court of corrupt officials.

Sometimes Yin Zhiping would wonder if he hadn’t known the course of history and that the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty was unstoppable, would he have been one of these passionate people?

He even thought about whether he should help the Mongols to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty sooner and speed up the progress of history.

In the end, I didn’t do that and just let it continue to develop.

Once Mongolia completely occupied the Central Plains and destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, the first to bear the brunt should be the Quanzhen Sect in Zhongnan Mountain, or in fact, Yin Zhiping himself.

The heroes break the law with force. The hundreds of years of historical experience of the Song Dynasty clearly illustrates the value of this sentence.

No dynasty would allow a sword to hang over its head, especially when this sword has considerable power.

So Yin Zhiping had actually made plans long ago, which was to weaken the Quanzhen Sect just as in the original book.

Those of my uncles should leave when they should, and establish a new Taoist school when they should establish their own.

The Quanzhen Sect only needs to keep Li Zhichang and a few disciples to preserve the heritage. When the Mongols leave the Central Plains, the Quanzhen Sect will be glorious again.

During the Mongol occupation of the Central Plains, Quanzhen Sect had no room to develop.

Just because the founder of Quanzhen Sect was Wang Chongyang, and later there was Yin Zhiping, one a hero who fought against the Jin Dynasty and the other a great enemy of the Mongols, the Mongol Khan could not feel at ease with Quanzhen Sect.

The Quanzhen Sect is not like the Beggars' Sect. The Beggars' Sect will not be destroyed as long as all the beggars are dead.

No matter how strong Yin Zhiping is, there is only one of him and he cannot protect everyone.

It was very easy for the imperial court to target the Quanzhen Sect.

Yin Zhiping didn't want to fight to the death, nor did he dare to. Instead of doing so, he decided to hide his edge and wait for the opportunity.

Chapter 178 Yin Tianxue: I'll tell you a secret

Of course, everything now is just Yin Zhiping’s plan, and even Li Mochou doesn’t know it.

These plans are all based on the future historical process. Now that Yin Zhiping and Zhen Zhibing appear at the same time, who knows where the plot will go?

No one can predict what the future will be like, so we can only take things one step at a time.

At the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, Guo Jing and Huang Rong had been waiting eagerly, with a large group of people behind them. If you look closely, you can see that familiar faces such as Li Zhichang, Zhen Zhibing, Qiu Chuji, Liu Chuxuan, Ke Zhen'e, Yang Guo, etc. are all there, as well as many new faces.

Guo Fu also saw her parents from a distance whom she had not seen for a long time. She let go of Yin Zhiping's hand and ran away. She even used the ancient tomb light skill Yao Jiao Kong Bi, and she performed it quite well, a bit like a fairy.

However, as soon as he appeared in front of Guo Jing and Huang Rong, his true colors were revealed and he threw himself into the arms of his mother Huang Rong.

Yin Zhiping took Yin Tianxue's hand and stood at the door: "Master, Uncle-Master, Senior Ke, Brother Guo, Sister-in-law Guo, and all my friends in the martial arts world."

Greetings are inevitable. Even though Yin Zhiping has become a nominal disciple, everyone knows the real situation. In the eyes of everyone in the martial arts world, Yin Zhiping represents the Quanzhen Sect, and they all responded.

Those who could come to Xiangyang City at this time all disliked the Mongols. On normal days, if they saw Mongolian soldiers oppressing the people, they would punish them directly. In the past, they would be hunted down by the Mongols for such things, but this no longer happened until ten years ago.

They all knew who had made the contribution, not to mention that Yin Zhiping also had the reputation of being the best in the world and a sword immortal.

Li Mochou only had one expression in front of outsiders, and nodding was considered giving face. She would only smile in front of Qiu Chuji, Liu Chuxuan, Yang Guo and several Quanzhen disciples, and you couldn't tell unless you looked closely.

Yin Tianxue also greeted several elders she knew, and then went to find Brother Yang with her sister Guo, chatting in private, which made Huang Rong very unhappy.

"Since my sister-in-law has arrived, I've gained confidence in this battle. To be honest, if you hadn't come, I would have sent the Beggars' Sect disciples all over the world to look for someone else."

If we say who is under the most pressure now, it is Guo Jing. The arrival of Li Mochou has indeed relieved the huge pressure in his heart.

He was really unsure about the opponent's lineup, and he couldn't find his father-in-law Huang Yaoshi, his master Hong Qigong, and the naughty old boy Zhou Botong.

So what I just said was not nonsense.

Ten years ago, Guo Jing had heard about the strength of those people from Yin Zhiping, and he had also seen and fought against them.

At that time, Bagucang was the strongest, followed by Hadabaatar, and then King Jinlun and Ouyang Lie.

They had never fought each other, but Hadabater's archery skills were really amazing. Even though Guo Jing had learned the true skills from Zhebie, he was still terrified when facing his archery skills. If he was not careful, he might die.

"Brother Jing, please invite Brother Yin and his wife in first. Let's sit down and talk."

Guo Jing wanted to pour out his frustrations to Yin Zhiping right now. He knew that although Yin Zhiping could not take action, he was smart and could come up with suggestions. It was only because Huang Rong could not bear it and stopped him in time that it was inappropriate to talk about serious matters right at the door.

After entering the temporary meeting room and being served tea, Yin Zhiping briefly talked about his recent experiences.

Jueqing Valley, Gongsun Zhi, Qiu Qianchi and Qiu Qianren.

When they heard about Qiu Qianren, Guo Jing and Huang Rong no longer had any special reaction and treated it normally.

The people from the underworld who were listening in, whether they knew each other or not, all listened with great interest.

The Valley of Unrequited Love is rarely seen in the world, and few people have heard of it. Those who have heard of it or even had some contact with it think that Gongsun Zhi is an upright person, but they didn't expect that all this was a disguise.

The man who could cruelly hurt even his own wife was despised by everyone present.

However, Gongsun Zhi's final outcome also made Qiu Qianchi's reputation not very good. Everyone felt that killing was not enough, so why should he keep Gongsun Zhi's life and torture him like this?

Yin Zhiping simply offered an objective perspective on this: "Don't advise others to be good unless you've experienced their suffering. If you've experienced their suffering, you might not be as good as they are."

Yin Zhiping would not have any mercy on Gongsun Zhi's ending. If he were in his place, he might have done the same.

As soon as Yin Zhiping said this, the public opinion immediately changed, and everyone criticized Gongsun Ce for bringing disaster upon himself.

This is the role of power and status.

Then Yin Zhiping talked about how he took Gongsun Lue'e as his apprentice. Although no one had seen it, everyone envied this girl. From then on, there would be one more person in the world who should not be provoked.

Yin Zhiping was talking about Gongsun Lue'e, but his eyes were on Yang Guo. There was an inexplicable meaning in his eyes, but Yang Guo didn't notice it. He was being pestered by his two sisters, and he was still happy to hear that there was another junior sister.

Guo Fu: "Brother Yang, let me tell you, Sister Gongsun is very beautiful, very gentle, and takes good care of us."

Yin Tianxue: "Also, the love flower is very beautiful, but you can't pick it. Daddy said it's poisonous. It hurts so much if you get pricked by it."

Yang Guo hurriedly asked with concern: "Then you were not stabbed?"

Guo Fu quickly waved her hands: "No, no, we were just watching from a distance, not getting close."

Yang Guo breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself: That’s right, Master is here, how could he let them get hurt?

As the leaky little cotton-padded jacket of her dear father, Yin Tianxue wanted to get close to her brother Yang and whisper something in his ear, but she was not tall enough to get close. She could only pull on his shoulder and said, "Brother Yang, come here. I have a secret to tell you."

As a close brother, Yang Guo would respond to every request from Yin Tianxue and Guo Fu, lowering his head curiously.

Guo Fu was also very curious. Her little sisters actually had secrets that she didn't know about?

"Brother Yang, let me tell you something. Daddy said that this time he's here to teach you his Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Origin and Nine Yang Divine Art. Are you happy about that?"

After Yin Tianxue finished speaking, she raised her head as if to seek credit, waiting for Brother Yang to express his inner joy and excitement.

Guo Fu didn't expect that the little sister was talking about this matter. She also remembered that Uncle Yin had indeed said it, and nodded firmly.

Both of them knew that Yang Guo had practiced sword skills hard over the years just to inherit Yin Zhiping's mantle. Now that success was at hand, they were happy for him.

"Really? That's great! Thank you both sisters for telling me the news. What do you want? I'll buy you each, okay?"

In fact, Yang Guo had known this news from his uncle Li Zhichang a long time ago, and his current level of swordsmanship had already reached the threshold for practicing Wanjian Guizong.

Of course, these words will not be said out loud. You have to cooperate when you need to. You have to know that girls can be very stingy sometimes, regardless of their age.

Uncle Guo was often taught a lesson by Aunt Guo.

You have to see it to believe it!

Yang Guo was also looking forward to this day.

Chapter 179 Rotten to the Core

Through Guo Jing's narration, Yin Zhiping also understood the current situation in Xiangyang City.

The Mongolian army has 200,000 soldiers, but in Xiangyang, there are only 70,000 soldiers at most, not including the martial artists who came to support them.

The imperial court said that it had sent out an army of 120,000, but only 30,000 troops recruited nearby have arrived so far.

The remaining 90,000 were said to be on the way, but according to the news from the Beggars' Sect, this was not the case at all.

On the other hand, there is food and fodder. It is a military truth that food and fodder must be sent before troops move.

However, more than a month has passed, and only half of the food and fodder promised by the court has arrived. Currently, the food and fodder in Xiangyang City is only enough to support the consumption of 70,000 troops for half a year.

No one knew how long this battle would last, nor did anyone know whether reinforcements or food would arrive first, or whether neither would arrive first.

Yin Zhiping was very surprised that the court would do this. It shouldn't have happened. If Xiangyang City was broken, the Song court might really be finished. No matter how stupid the emperor was, he would not do such a thing to dig his own grave.

Xiangyang city defenders Lu Wende and Lu Wenhuan looked at each other and sighed.

Guo Jing then revealed the truth. It was not that the court was unwilling, but that after the emperor's order was issued, the people below pretended to obey but secretly disobeyed it, especially the major families. Many people took advantage of their positions to profit from it, and even tried to stop it, just to make more profits.

This made preparations for war more difficult. The emperor was very angry about this and chopped off many people's heads, but it was of no use.

The entire Southern Song Dynasty court was rotten.

Yin Zhiping had no choice but to accept the situation. A good cook cannot cook without rice. Moreover, Yin Zhiping thought he was just a little smart. When it came to actually leading troops to fight, he was good at talking on paper, but forget about the actual operation.

The most important thing is food and grass. Seventy thousand versus two hundred thousand is a huge gap in numbers, but it is not impossible to defend the city walls. The most important prerequisite is sufficient food and grass.

Otherwise, once the food supply was cut off, the Mongolian army could simply surround Xiangyang without attacking and the city would fall without a fight.

What else can Yin Zhiping say?

What else can we say except to take one step at a time and see how it goes, there will always be a way when we reach the mountain?

After talking for a while, most people left to do their own things, leaving only the acquaintances on Mount Zhongnan talking.

"Master, Uncle-Master, Brother Guo, and Sister-in-law Guo, I'm going to take Guo'er with me later. It's time to teach him the Ten Thousand Swords Return Sect."

Yin Zhiping had long discovered that his disciple was worthy of being the protagonist of destiny. His sharp sword energy, which was contained but not released, had long surpassed the threshold of practicing the Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin.

Yang Guo's current combat capability is definitely not worse than that of an average first-rate fighter. Once he enters the realm of Wanjian Guizong and practices the Nine Yang Magical Art with the help of the snake gallbladder of the Bosuqu snake, his strength will definitely be able to reach the acquired realm.

Wow, a fourteen-year-old who has reached the acquired realm, who else can compare?

"Great! Guo'er finally saw the light at last."

The happiest person, besides Mu Nianci who is still in Zhongnan Mountain, is Guo Jing, the uncle.

Huang Rong, Qiu Chuji, Liu Chuxuan, Li Zhichang, Zhen Zhibing and others were also happy for Yang Guo. Yang Guo was their junior, and they could be said to have watched Yang Guo go through the past ten years, just like their own child.

"Aren't you staying in Xiangyang?"

Guo Jing discovered his blind spot at this time. He thought that Yin Zhiping would not leave after bringing his family here, even though it was not convenient for Yin Zhiping to take action.

"No, Tianxue and Fu'er are not suited to witnessing a river of blood right now. There's a valley west of Xiangyang City where a senior passed away. There's a divine eagle, a celestial spirit beast, in there. Its strength is no less than that of a Xiantian beast. Tianxue and Fu'er have a good relationship with it, and it will protect us. After the battle begins, I will observe from the dark. If the situation becomes urgent, I will take action."

Everyone present was his own people, so Yin Zhiping directly stated his intention to take action and break the agreement.

"No, Brother Yin, if you take action, you will break the agreement. If there is no restraint from the Mongolian high-level officials, countless innocent people will be persecuted."

Guo Jing did not understand Yin Zhiping's meaning at first. His first reaction was that for the sake of innocent people, Yin Zhiping could not take action.

Except for Guo Jing, everyone else more or less understood Yin Zhiping's thoughts.
