I am Zhao Zhijing, a poor Taoist priest, and I have disciples all over the world.

Chapter 186 Two Talkers
"Not as good as."

Zhao Zhijing looked at Guo Jing and thought that it was difficult for him to refuse, but he also couldn't let Guo Jing lose the initiative in this battle, so it would be better for the two of them to take the position together.

Two people in charge!

"To all the heroes present here, I will never forget what Senior Hong said about loyalty and righteousness."

Zhao Zhijing slowly stood up, bowed to everyone, and said loudly: "It's just that I am not very talented and knowledgeable, and I don't think I can take on this important task, but I also don't want to lag behind in the responsibility of protecting the country and the people."

"So I boldly propose that the great hero Guo Jing and I serve as the deputy leader together, and work together to resist foreign aggression!"

After hearing this, the group of heroes were silent for a moment, thinking carefully whether it was feasible for two people to serve as deputy leaders at the same time.

Then they all felt that there was a distinction between left and right prime ministers in the court, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with acting in this way.

Moreover, this Heroes Conference was convened by the Beggars' Sect, and most of the guests came for the sake of Guo Jing and Huang Rong. After all, more than ten years ago, it was the couple who risked their own lives to defend Xiangyang.

After all, fighting in the martial arts world is not as good as fighting on the battlefield. Guo Jing is a master in military strategy and Huang Rong has every plan in mind. With these two people around, the heroes can kill the enemy with confidence.

When Zhao Zhijing was recommended just now, quite a number of people felt that Guo Jing might not be the right person, but since he and his disciple had just made great contributions to the Central Plains martial arts world, to oppose them rashly would be tantamount to making enemies, so they did not speak out.

When they heard Zhao Zhijing's proposal, they looked at each other and thought it was the best idea. Someone said "yes" first, and the hall suddenly burst into thunderous cheers.

Guo Jing originally wanted to give some advice, saying that the greatest heroes serve their country and their people, and we should take on the responsibility. Taoist Zhao is indeed the best choice for the deputy leader.

Suddenly he heard the suggestion of jointly becoming the deputy leader. He didn't know whether it was appropriate or not. He looked at his wife out of habit. He saw Huang Rong smiling and blinking in approval.

Since Taoist Zhao and Rong'er both had this idea, it was much better than his own random guess. Guo Jing immediately stood up and stood side by side with Zhao Zhijing, clasping his fists in salute.

"Greetings to the two leaders, Hero Guo and Taoist Priest Zhao!"

"We will follow you till death and fight to the death against the enemy!"

When the heroes saw the two men standing together, they really couldn't think of anyone in the world who could be their rival. Among those present were many good men who cared about the world, and they had tears in their eyes without realizing it. They felt that the crisis in Xiangyang would be resolved.

Everyone shouted in unison, paying their respects to the two leaders Guo and Zhao, and then came forward to toast. Those who couldn't get a number turned to look for Yang Guo to make friends.

Yang Guo had been looked down upon and despised since he was a child. Although such things had not happened again after he became Zhao Zhijing's disciple, this was the first time he had been praised and respected like this.

"I am able to hold my head high today and have so many famous heroes take notice of me. It is all thanks to my mentor!"

He was already feeling a little elated and proud when he suddenly saw his master and Uncle Guo being so courteous. He quickly reached out and pinched the soft flesh on his waist while no one was paying attention.

“Yang Guo, ah Yang Guo, you must not be so conceited and bring shame to your mentor and Uncle Guo!”

The force was quite strong this time and Yang Guo grimaced in pain, thinking that no one noticed. However, he didn't know that Huang Rong saw everything.

"Guo'er has really grown up under the guidance of Taoist Priest Zhao. What's more, at such a young age, he has already understood the truth that arrogance will lead to failure."

When Huang Rong looked at Yang Guo, she naturally thought of her daughter Guo Fu and the Wu brothers, and she couldn't help but sigh slightly.

He thought that it was unwise for him to refuse to sincerely accept Yang Guo because of his concerns about Yang Kang in the early years. "No wonder the sage said: Those who are sincere choose the good and follow it, and choose the bad and change it."

While Huang Rong was thinking, various heroes from the martial arts world came to toast her. She put her worries aside temporarily and celebrated with everyone.

"Brother Wu, let's stop drinking and go out and have fun!"

Guo Fu had been sought after everywhere when she followed her parents to Lujiazhuang, but ever since Master Zhao Zhijing and his apprentice showed up, somehow, everyone's attention seemed to be drawn to them.

Originally, when Yang Guo was fighting with Huo Du, she was worried about Yang Guo, but now seeing Yang Guo becoming the focus of everyone, Guo Fu felt that she was outdone and felt very uncomfortable.

But before I took a few steps, I suddenly heard my father calling from behind: "Fuer, come here."

Looking back, she saw her parents, Zhao Zhijing and Yang Guo gathered at a table. Although she didn't know what they were calling her for, she still walked over obediently.

Guo Jing smiled and said, "Rong'er, you were worried about my character and martial arts skills at first, but now you have nothing to say, right?"

"I was wrong. Taoist Zhao taught his disciples in a good way. Guo'er has become a successful person. I am also very happy."

Zhao Zhijing, who was standing by, heard this and thought that Guo Jing had taken the initiative to ignore the guests and called his daughter and Guo'er together, which meant he was most likely going to bring up old matters again.

As expected, when Guo Jing heard his wife's agreement, his face was immediately filled with joy. He turned to Zhao Zhijing and said, "Master Zhao, Guo'er's father and I were sworn brothers in the past. Now..."

"Please bear with me, Mr. Guo. I suddenly remembered something very important, but it is not convenient to talk about it in detail at this time. Let's entertain all the friends here first, and then discuss it."

Guo Jing was overjoyed and wanted to marry his daughter to Yang Guo in front of all the heroes in the world, which would also put his biggest worry to rest.

Unexpectedly, before he could open his mouth, he was interrupted by Zhao Zhijing, and he was suddenly at a loss.

Huang Rong was also puzzled, but she still took over the conversation and said, "Master Zhao is right. Today, all the martial arts heroes gathered at Lujia Village for the sake of the people. Everything else is just a small matter."

After saying this, she gently pulled her husband's sleeve, signaling him not to continue.

Guo Fu was a girl and was extremely sensitive about her life-long affairs. When she heard her parents talking, she already had a vague premonition in her heart.

But it stopped abruptly at this moment, and he was a little confused. He secretly glanced at Yang Guo and found that he also had a confused look on his face. He didn't know what was going on.

Several people, each with their own thoughts, returned to the table to entertain the guests. Guo Fu no longer had the mood to go out, so she stayed with her mother, hoping to find a chance to clarify things.

This heroic banquet lasted until late at night, and all the heroes were in high spirits and full of confidence.

Therefore, after the banquet, they went straight back to the guest room, ready to recuperate and gather their strength. If the Mongolian troops dared to attack Xiangyang, they would be defeated and defeated.

However, Zhao Zhijing and Huang Rong had a tacit understanding. After everyone left, they asked Yang Guo and Guo Fu to go back and rest first.

"Master Zhao, my wife and I have always respected you. Did you see that Guo intended to marry his daughter to Guo'er during the banquet just now, so you interrupted me?"

On the way here, Guo Jing had heard his wife's guess. Although he didn't know why, he still asked straight to the point.
