Today, Old Marquis also came to the martial arts school. He didn't just come to watch Gu Jiao's matches, he also wanted to see if there were any other talents here. It was just that, he could probably find a few before, but his standards became more demanding since he discovered Gu Jiao.
It seemed like it would be hard to find another young person who was as talented and as able to control their desire to kill as Gu Jiao.
As a great general on the battlefield who had killed countless people, how could he not sense a person's bloodlust?
Old Marquis didn't know what his sworn little brother had been through to possess such heavy bloodlust, but it was a miracle that she was able to suppress it and prevent herself from becoming a bloodthirsty monster.
This was another reason why Old Marquis admired Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao came down from the fighting ring after the match, and Old Marquis came out of a private room on the second floor. The two of them met in the lobby.
Old Marquis looked at Gu Jiao with a smile and asked, "Has the martial arts competition ended today?"
Gu Jiao nodded.
"You have made great progress recently." It was even beyond his expectations. If he hadn't watched her climb up the ranks step by step through winning one match at a time, he would have thought that Gu Jiao was already a martial grandmaster who had lost his strength due to some reason and was slowly recovering them.
Old Marquis then asked, "By the way, have you been practicing your spear techniques recently?"
Gu Jiao blinked her eyes upon hearing this.
Old Marquis was slightly taken aback by her response and asked, "Did you bring your red-tasseled spear with you?"
Gu Jiao shook her head.
Old Marquis was unaware that she had lost her red-tasseled spear on the night she saved the Emperor. He only thought she had forgotten it at home and smiled, saying, "No worries, I happened to bring a new red-tasseled spear for you."
Gu Jiao followed him to the backyard of the martial arts school. Old Marquis's carriage was parked outside the back door, and he went to the carriage to get the red-tasseled spear wrapped in red cloth. He handed it to Gu Jiao and said, "Try it out."
Gu Jiao took it and unfurled the red cloth.
Woah!
It was the huge spear she had admired in the military camp!
This red-tasseled spear was two inches longer and heavier than the average one, with a sharp head that gleamed with a cold light. Gu Jiao tried a move with it in her hand, like a wandering dragon and a startling swan, it exuded an unparalleled dominance! free(w)ebnovel
Old Marquis couldn't help showing a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.
Indeed, his vision was unique, this red-tasseled spear from the famous general of the State of Yan was truly very suitable for his sworn little brother.
"Don't you find it heavy?" He asked.
Gu Jiao shook her head.
She liked its weight, it had the potential to break anything in its path, and the ability to shatter a thousand catties with its force.
She performed a few more moves and became more and more satisfied with it.
She used to dislike cold weapons, but this red-tasseled spear was just right for her.
Old Marquis had been observing her moves, which were something he had taught her, but this set of spear techniques was more suitable for an ordinary red-tasseled spear. It could not fully unleash the maximum power of this red-tasseled spear.
"Brother Gu, hold on." He walked over and said, "Give me the red-tasseled spear for a moment."
Gu Jiao, who was having a good time, pouted as she handed him the red-tasseled spear.
Old Marquis took the spear and made a simple move without any fancy techniques. He slightly bent his legs, held the base of the red-tasseled spear with his right hand against his right waist, and held the middle of the spear with his left hand, pointing the spearhead straight ahead, then suddenly thrusted it out!
It seemed like a simple move, but at that moment, it was full of infinite killing intent, even the wind and sand were stirred up, and the leaves rustled.
Gu Jiao's mask was almost blown off.
She blinked her eyes and with sparkling eyes, she took out her notebook and wrote: ‘What move is that?’
Old Marquis patiently explained, "This is called the Fourth Central Move, belonging to the Zhongping Spear Technique, which is the main technique of the Six Harmonies Spear. There are 24 moves in this spear technique, and it ranks first among all the moves. It may seem simple, but in fact, it has infinite variations. Don't practice other moves for now, just practice this one. Come on, give it a try.”
Gu Jiao took the red-tasseled spear and tried it out.
...Naturally, she failed to do it well.
Old Marquis said, "Don't be in a hurry, take it slowly."
Back then, his master made him practice this move for five years, and he didn't understand his master's intention at the time. It was only many years later that he realized that the essence of spear technique was all in this move.
Gu Jiao practiced for a while until she was sweating profusely.
Old Marquis felt that they had practiced enough for the day, and said to Gu Jiao, "Let's practice again another day. It's getting late, are you hungry, Brother Gu? I'll treat you to donkey meat. Next door offers a donkey meat hotpot, I think you'll like it."
Gu Jiao held up the red-tasseled spear and hugged it to her chest, taking out a small notebook and writing: ‘I have something to do tonight, let's go eat donkey meat hotpot another day.’
"Alright." A hint of disappointment flashed within Old Marquis's eyes.
Gu Jiao looked at him and wrote: ‘Do you have something on your mind?’
"No, nothing." He just wanted to drink alone with someone.
Gu Jiao continued writing: ‘We are sworn brothers who have paid homage to each other, there’s nothing we can’t talk about.’
His Brother Gu was a trustworthy person, and Old Marquis had indeed been troubled by something lately and couldn't make up his mind.
After hesitating for a while, he cleared his throat and told Gu Jiao, "Brother Gu, there is this friend of mine."
Here it came, a friend of his. contemporary romance
Gu Jiao understood it in a second!
Old Marquis opened his mouth and continued, "If he wants to do something against the norm, would you support him or not?"
Gu Jiao wrote: ‘It depends on what kind of against the norm thing it is.’
Old Marquis cleared his throat, "For example... Running away with someone?"
Oh, the old man wanted to elope with someone!
Gu Jiao wrote without hesitation: ‘Support!’
Old Marquis was astonished.
Hey, aren't you supposed to hesitate a bit? Aren’t you being too reckless?
Gu Jiao wrote down what she had read when she peeked into her godfather's diary in her previous life: ‘Love is a matter between two people. As long as they like each other, they can seek freedom together.’
In the organization, you couldn't seek freedom, nor could you like anyone, otherwise you would be punished by her godfather.
Hence Gu Jiao had always been unable to figure out why this sentence was in her godfather's diary.
Well, forget about that. She was already dead there, and would never see her godfather again.
Gu Jiao continued writing: ‘If you like someone, pursue them boldly! Don't be afraid of the world's opinions!’
Old Marquis took a deep breath and asked, "What if she refuses?"
Gu Jiao wrote: "If she refuses you, it means she doesn't like you. You can just give up then!"
Why was his Brother Gu singing the same tune as Gu Yan?
Were young people nowadays so in tune with each other?
Old Marquis said calmly, "It's not me!"
Gu Jiao: Oh.
When an idea was supported by only one person, perhaps it couldn’t make one’s heart strong enough. But when more people supported the same idea, it could take root and sprout in one’s hearts.
Not to mention that he just randomly asked two people and got the same answer. It was now clear that he was overthinking it before, and this matter was originally quite simple.
He was going to take her out of the palace!
