Duan Zhengchun transmigrates to Yin Zhiping

"Brother Yin, I heard you didn't come home all night. Where did you go?"

"Last night, the Sirius Society was massacred. Someone went on a killing spree at the Mongol vanguard army's camp and even killed the vanguard army's commander! Was this your doing?!"

Guo Jing rushed to Duan Zhengchun immediately, grabbed Duan Zhengchun's arm, and asked him urgently in a loud voice.

Duan Zhengchun glanced at the expectant crowd, smiled wryly, and said slowly, "I didn't expect you all to know so quickly."

"Really you?!"

"I knew it had to be you! Of everyone here, only you have such skill and courage!"

Upon hearing this, Guo Jing praised him excitedly.

Upon hearing Guo Jing's blunt words, Huang Rong secretly tugged at Guo Jing's sleeve, shook her head, and gave him a meaningful look.

"What's wrong, Rong'er?"

Guo Jing, puzzled, turned to look at Huang Rong.

Huang Rong looked helpless, glanced at the crowd, and continued to give them meaningful glances.

Duan Zhengchun, however, looked completely bewildered, unaware that his words had already displeased some people, whose expressions had changed.

"Don't stand, everyone, please sit down and talk."

Duan Zhengchun noticed something amiss, smiled and said something, then walked straight out of the crowd and found a seat.

Huang Rong looked at Duan Zhengchun, who had come to her rescue, and gave a slight bow, a hint of guilt in her eyes.

"You really did those things?! It's because of you that the Mongol army retreated early this morning?!"

At this moment, Guo Fu quickly walked out of the crowd and went straight to Duan Zhengchun, asking in surprise.

"Yes."

Duan Zhengchun smiled and nodded, then poured himself a cup of tea.

"Ha, you did that on purpose last night! You're the Yin guy who exchanged a palm strike with my grandfather and didn't lose, the most powerful expert among the third-generation disciples of the Quanzhen Sect!"

"Then why didn't you tell me last night?! You kept it from me for so long?!"

Guo Fu pouted and complained unhappily.

"Fu'er, how dare you be rude!"

Seeing his daughter's disrespectful behavior and her public reprimand of Duan Zhengchun, Guo Jing's face darkened.

"Mom, he lied to me!"

Guo Fu turned her head to look at her father, who looked unhappy, and then looked at Huang Rong, saying aggrievedly.

"Nonsense! Young Hero Yin is an upright and honorable man. For the safety of the border people, he didn't hesitate to leave the city overnight and wreak havoc on the Mongol vanguard army's camp with only his sword. How can you call him a fraud?!"

Upon hearing this, Guo Jing became even more dissatisfied and couldn't help but slam his fist on the table.

“Oh dear, Brother Jing, don’t be angry. Fu’er didn’t mean it that way at all. Brother Yin must have been joking with her. This child took it seriously.”

Seeing this, Huang Rong quickly got up to defuse the situation and kept giving Guo Fu meaningful glances.

"Yes, Brother Guo, I know she meant no harm. Besides, she's right. I did lie to her last night and didn't tell her my real identity."

Duan Zhengchun also tried to smooth things over.

Hearing Duan Zhengchun say the same thing, Guo Jing calmed down and sat down again.

"Fu'er, why don't you bow to your Uncle Yin?"

Huang Rong smiled and quickly gave her daughter some instructions.

"Uncle Yin..."

Guo Fu reluctantly bowed and returned to Huang Rong's side with a pout.

"Young Master Yin, what exactly happened last night? Could you tell us about it? We were just about to organize the relocation of the people when we suddenly heard that the Mongol army had withdrawn."

"Yes, Young Master Yin, how did you find the Mongol vanguard army's camp?"

At this moment, the martial arts heroes around them all spoke up, looking at Duan Zhengchun with curiosity.

Duan Zhengchun smiled and immediately recounted how he had discovered the Mongol spies in the restaurant the previous night, how he had found out that the Tianlang Society was colluding with the Mongol Tartars, and how they had used a secret passage to leave the city and cause a ruckus at the Mongol vanguard's camp.

After hearing Duan Zhengchun's account, everyone realized that so many thrilling things had happened the night before, and they couldn't help but regret not going with Duan Zhengchun.

However, everyone praised and admired Duan Zhengchun's actions.

"Don't be too happy yet, everyone. According to the clues I've found, the Mongol army will likely launch a large-scale invasion of the Song Dynasty very soon!"

"Although the vanguard has withdrawn, it is only a delaying tactic. Larger-scale attacks may come soon."

"In my opinion, we should relocate the people from all the border areas inland as soon as possible, and then find a way to get the Huai'an garrison to report to the court so that reinforcements can be sent as soon as possible!"

Duan Zhengchun looked at the excited crowd and said seriously.

Upon hearing this, the crowd immediately fell silent again, and everyone's expression turned solemn.

“Brother Yin is right. The most urgent task is to ensure that no more innocent civilians are affected by this war. Let’s proceed according to the original plan!”

"I am acquainted with General Guo, and we are even related by blood. Let me go there in person again, hoping to come up with a foolproof plan. In any case, I urge the court to send troops to our aid as soon as possible!"

Guo Jing slowly stood up, his face grave as he scanned the faces of everyone present.

Everyone nodded without hesitation, and immediately got up to say goodbye, heading off to different parts of the border.

"Brother Yin, you haven't slept all night, so you don't need to go. Stay here and get some rest."

"Rong'er, I'll leave this place to you for now."

Guo Jing gave a few instructions and immediately went to the Huai'an garrison camp.

"Sister-in-law, since that's the case, I'll go back and rest first."

Duan Zhengchun stood up, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and then walked straight out.

Huang Rong nodded gently, watching Duan Zhengchun's departing figure, a hint of apology showing between her brows.

When they first met yesterday, she thought Duan Zhengchun was a philandering scoundrel, but she never expected that he would do something so earth-shattering last night, and even buy ample time for the relocation of the border people.

...

at dusk.

After sleeping for a whole day, Duan Zhengchun finally came out of his room, looked at the sunset, and stretched his arms.

The long journey and the two battles last night had left him quite tired, and he didn't expect that a whole day would pass by in one sleep.

Near the artificial hill in the distance, Guo Fu was gathered with the Wu brothers, chatting about something. Hearing the door open behind her, Guo Fu turned around and quickly walked to Duan Zhengchun.

"You can really sleep! You didn't get up until it was almost dark."

Guo Fu looked Duan Zhengchun up and down, and said with a smile, but there was no respect for her elders in her words. It seemed that she had already forgotten that Duan Zhengchun was her uncle.

"In life, the two most important things are eating and sleeping."

Duan Zhengchun smiled and said something, then walked straight to a pavilion next to him.

"Wouldn't that make you no different from a pig?"

As Guo Fu followed behind, she spoke frankly, seemingly disagreeing with Duan Zhengchun's statement.

"Sometimes being a pig isn't so bad; you're carefree, and at least you don't have to worry about war."

Duan Zhengchun slowly sat down on the stone bench, pondered for a moment, and continued speaking.

Upon hearing this, Guo Fu nodded thoughtfully, as if she had grasped something from Duan Zhengchun's words.

"A real man is born into this world and should make a difference, so that he will not have lived in vain. If he really lives like a pig, wouldn't he be no better than a piece of trash?!"

At this moment, Wu Dunru, the eldest of the Wu brothers who had also followed into the pavilion, stood with his hands behind his back and spoke loudly and righteously.

"Hey! What are you talking about?! I was just saying! Have you all forgotten what I did last night?"

"If you two are so capable, why don't you try killing a vanguard commander?! You're useless, all you do is talk!"

Before Duan Zhengchun could reply, Guo Fu was already unhappy and started criticizing the two of them.

Duan Zhengchun looked up and gave the two of them a cold look, a sneer in his heart.

Duan Zhengchun had felt a strong aversion to these two ever since he last saw them at Lujiazhuang, but if he really took offense at them, it would only lower his own status.

You can't fight with a mad dog, otherwise you'd become a four-legged beast yourself.

"If the Mongol vanguard hadn't withdrawn, my brother and I could have gone out of the city right now and killed their commander! What's so difficult about that?!"

"Besides, what happened last night is only his side of the story; who knows if it's true or not?!"

Wu Xiuwen straightened his back, spoke confidently, then glanced disdainfully at Duan Zhengchun and said sarcastically...
