In the mountains, looking at the data on his system panel, Jiang Chen nodded in satisfaction.
This trip to Dali had been fruitful!
He not only learned the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, Six Yang Palms of Mount Tian Shan, One Yang Finger, and Six Meridian Divine Sword, among other top-tier martial arts, but also acquired two divine level skills: Divine Level Medical Art and Divine Level Music Art.
Although his cultivation had not yet broken through to the early Grandmaster Realm, his combat strength had increased significantly compared to when he left Xiangyang.
"Once I climb over this mountain, I'll reach Xiangyang City!"
Jiang Chen set off again, heading towards Xiangyang City.
…
The Song Dynasty!
Xiangyang City, Council Chamber!
"Jiang Chen pays respects to the City Lord and Madam!"
Jiang Chen took a letter from his bosom and handed it to Guo Jing: "This is a reply from Emperor Baoding to the City Lord!"
Guo Jing took the sealed letter, glanced at it, and a smile appeared on his face. He then handed the letter to Huang Rong.
"Jiang Chen, you've been through a lot on this journey!"
Guo Jing patted Jiang Chen on the shoulder and said, "Go back and rest!"
As they watched Jiang Chen leave, Guo Jing said, "Rong'er, it seems your judgment is excellent. Jiang Chen is indeed reliable!"
"Jing ge ge!"
Huang Rong said, "Emperor Baoding said in his letter that if the Yuan Dynasty attacks Xiangyang, he will do everything he can to support us!"
"But Dali is far away from us, I'm afraid that a distant water can't quench a nearby thirst!" Guo Jing said.
"There are ways to handle this, isn't there? Can we really count on the court?" Huang Rong said with a hint of resentment.
With Jia Sidao meddling in the Song court, Huang Rong had no hope of receiving any support from the court. It would be a blessing if they didn't stab them in the back!
"Ai!"
Guo Jing also sighed!
"Jing ge ge, I plan to return to Peach Blossom Island in a couple of days!" Huang Rong said.
"Rong'er, why are you returning to Peach Blossom Island? Is something wrong?" Guo Jing asked.
"Nothing's wrong, I just want to go back and see my father and Xiang'er, and pay my respects to my mother. I haven't been back in a long time!" Huang Rong said.
"Rong'er, I'm sorry!" Guo Jing said with a face full of guilt.
If not for staying with him to defend Xiangyang, Huang Rong wouldn't have had to live so hard!
Now, with the busy military affairs in Xiangyang, he couldn't accompany Huang Rong back.
"Jing ge ge, I can go back alone!"
Huang Rong understood that Xiangyang City couldn't do without Guo Jing right now.
"Rong'er, the journey to Peach Blossom Island is long, I'm really not comfortable with you going back alone. Jiang Chen is alert and quick-witted, how about you let him accompany you back to Peach Blossom Island?" Guo Jing suggested.
"Then... alright!"
Huang Rong originally wanted to refuse Guo Jing's suggestion, but when she heard that Guo Jing recommended Jiang Chen, she agreed without thinking.
…
"Jiang Chen ge ge, you're back?"
As soon as Jiang Chen returned to his room, he saw Guo Fu rushing in excitedly.
"Fu'er, why did you come?" Jiang Chen smiled lightly and said.
"Jiang Chen ge ge, why did you go for so long? I was so bored!" Guo Fu said coquettishly.
"Long? "
Jiang Chen said, "To go to Dali and back, it's only been a dozen days, that's already considered fast!"
"Did you bring me any gifts?" Guo Fu said.
Jiang Chen smiled, then, as if performing magic, he conjured up several exquisite silver ornaments and handed them to Guo Fu.
"Wow, they're so beautiful!" Guo Fu took the silver ornaments and exclaimed.
The silver ornaments of Dali were renowned for their exquisite craftsmanship throughout the land!
Jiang Chen had also bought some in Dali.
"Thank you, Jiang Chen ge ge!"
Guo Fu couldn't help but kiss Jiang Chen on the cheek.
Even Jiang Chen was taken aback by this action!
After kissing Jiang Chen, Guo Fu's cheeks flushed red, and she turned to leave, but she bumped into Huang Rong.
"This child..." Huang Rong said with a gentle reproach.
Seeing her mother Huang Rong, Guo Fu became even more embarrassed, and she blushed and ran away!
"Jiang Chen, what's wrong with Fu'er?" Looking at Guo Fu's retreating figure, Huang Rong asked.
"Nothing!"
Jiang Chen quickly changed the subject and said, "Madam, did you need something?"
"Jiang Chen, you've just returned from Dali, you've had a hard journey!" Huang Rong said.
"Madam, this is what I should do!" Jiang Chen said.
"The day after tomorrow, come with me back to Peach Blossom Island. Would you be willing?" Huang Rong asked.
Hearing Huang Rong's words, Jiang Chen was secretly delighted, but he pretended to be nonchalant and said, "As Madam commands!"
"Good! Rest well for the next two days. We will set off early the day after tomorrow!" Huang Rong said.
"Yes, Madam!" Jiang Chen said.
Watching Huang Rong leave, Jiang Chen was secretly pleased. He hadn't expected that Huang Rong would actually choose him to accompany her!
Jiang Chen couldn't help but anticipate what might happen along the way…
