Chapter 22 Studying Gun Techniques
After the gathering ended, Guo Liqing took Lu Youjiao aside and said, "Elder Lu, you are an elder of the Beggars' Sect, so you should lead this thousand-man team."
"no problem."
"Elder Lu, if other brothers in the gang also want to join, we will welcome them all! I can assure everyone that this action is solely for the purpose of destroying the Jin. Before destroying the Jin, we will be under military-style management. After destroying the Jin, whether you stay or leave is entirely up to you."
"Brother Guo's magnanimity and integrity are beyond our reach!"
"Elder Lu, there's no need for such formalities between us!" Guo Liqing said. "Right now, I have some arrangements. First, the Beggars' Clan brothers are all over the world; we need to find Rong'er's whereabouts."
"Don't worry, Brother Guo, we've been keeping an eye on the gang leader's movements."
Guo Liqing shook his head helplessly and said, "Rong'er is clever and cunning. If she doesn't want you to find her, you definitely won't. Here's what we'll do! You arrange for some people to keep an eye on Ouyang Feng's movements and report back immediately!"
Lu Youjiao looked puzzled: "Why are you paying attention to Ouyang Feng? Are you worried he might harm the gang leader?"
"That's right, if you can't find Rong'er, Ouyang Feng will help you find her."
"Understood."
"Secondly, I will select the most skilled fighters from among these brothers and personally train a group of special forces members!"
"Special forces personnel?"
Seeing Lu Youjiao's blank expression, Guo Liqing didn't know how to explain, so he said, "It's a team composed of top experts who specialize in carrying out high-difficulty missions."
With this explanation, Lu Youjiao understood.
"Okay, I'll get right on it!"
……
In the following period, Guo Liqing learned marksmanship from Qiu Chuji while training special forces.
He selected promising young men from the Mongol army, the Sa Ma army, and the Beggars' Sect disciples, forming a team of two hundred men.
This team mainly carries out tasks such as covert reconnaissance, nighttime infiltration, precise capture of the enemy, surprise attacks on key points, and overnight assaults.
Seven days later.
Guo Liqing's special forces team was taking shape, and he had also finished learning marksmanship.
on the grassland.
Qiu Chuji stood aside, watching Guo Liqing practice his marksmanship.
After he finished his rehearsal, Qiu Chuji nodded in satisfaction.
Guo Liqing, however, was somewhat dissatisfied. He said, "Master Qiu, I feel that this spear technique is primarily defensive. The few killing moves are only for stopping killing with killing!"
Qiu Chuji smiled and said, "Jing'er, you're right. The Quanzhen spear technique is primarily defensive!"
Guo Liqing couldn't help but show disappointment. Qiu Chuji noticed his mood and said, "I know that you are now a general of the Mongols, training troops, and what you need is spearmanship for fighting on the battlefield. Unfortunately, my Quanzhen spearmanship is just like that!"
Guo Liqing cupped his hands and said, "This disciple has learned much. To stop killing with killing—that should be my original intention in practicing spear techniques!"
"However, I have a technique here that I'll pass on to you as well!"
Guo Liqing asked in confusion, "Isn't it supposed to be seventy-two forms? I've already learned all seventy-two forms."
Qiu Chuji shook his head and said, "This is not the Quanzhen spear technique, but the Yang family spear technique!"
"The Yang Family Spear Technique?"
"To be precise, it is a move I created by combining the Quanzhen spear technique and the Yang family spear technique."
Guo Liqing was puzzled. Could the Yang family spear he mentioned be...?
"You guessed right. My Yang Family Spear Technique originates from Yang Tiexin, a descendant of the Yang family generals. Their Yang family spear technique is a set of techniques solely for battlefield combat. Unfortunately, I don't go to the battlefield, so I've only mastered a portion of it. Watch closely!"
Qiu Chuji flicked his wrists, and a long spear swung up. There were no fancy movements, not even any defense, just a thrust!
Guo Liqing stared at the stab and froze on the spot.
This seemingly simple and skillless attack unexpectedly awakened Guo Liqing.
"Master Qiu, was such power in that spear strike delivered with internal energy?"
"No, it's just a normal move!"
Qiu Chuji shook his head. He might not even be able to release his internal energy when using a sword, let alone a gun.
"This shot carries a sense of returning to simplicity!"
Qiu Chuji looked at Guo Liqing with newfound respect, "That's right! Jing'er, you really are a martial arts prodigy! You saw through the trick at a glance."
Qiu Chuji sighed inwardly, wondering what would have happened if he had chosen Guo Jing back then.
Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs," and Qiu Chuji didn't dwell on it.
"Jing'er, you should ponder this carefully!"
"Thank you very much, Master Qiu!"
Qiu Chuji stroked his beard and said, "These past few days, I've been preaching to Genghis Khan, and I feel that his murderous intent has gradually subsided. Jing'er, since you're by his side, you should try to persuade him more often."
"I will."
"That's good!" A hint of sadness flickered in Qiu Chuji's eyes. He said, "Although you are in Mongolia, you haven't lost your true self. It's just a pity about your sworn brother Yang Kang..."
Guo Liqing comforted him, saying, "He's gone now, Master Qiu, there's no need to dwell on it too much. Yang Kang showed remorse before he died, which can be considered a great act of kindness!"
Qiu Chuji smiled slightly, his eyes filled with the affirmation of a senior for a junior.
"In a few days, I will lead my disciples back to Zhongnan Mountain. Jing'er, if you have time, you can come and visit Zhongnan Mountain."
"Your disciple will remember this."
Afterwards, Qiu Chuji and his companions stayed in the desert for a few more days before preparing to leave.
Before parting, Guo Liqing saw Qiu Chuji and his party off.
"Senior Brother Yin, if I ever go to Zhongnan Mountain in the future, I will have to rely entirely on your help!"
"Junior Brother Guo, you're too kind. When you visit Zhongnan Mountain someday, you must come and see me so I can show you the hospitality of a great host!"
"Definitely, definitely!"
Guo Liqing smiled. He would need Yin Zhiping's help when he went to the Ancient Tomb Sect in the future.
After Qiu Chuji and his group left, Guo Liqing began to study marksmanship on his own.
After Guo Liqing finished learning the 72-style Quanzhen spear technique, he began to study the technique from a holistic perspective.
Guo Liqing already possessed some Quanzhen internal energy cultivation skills, and when practicing spear techniques, there was a sense that the spear techniques and internal energy cultivation complemented each other.
Furthermore, prolonged practice of marksmanship can even generate internal energy.
This made Guo Liqing feel that the spear technique itself was an external martial arts technique derived from internal martial arts.
Guo Liqing wanted to use his spear skills to enhance his combat power, but the Quanzhen Spear Technique, being a gentle and unassuming style, was only good for duels, and not quite as effective for killing enemies on the battlefield.
On the contrary, the last move of Yang Family Spear Technique that Qiu Chuji taught him gave Guo Liqing a lot of insights.
The Yang family spear technique is honed on the battlefield, with everything based on actual combat and killing the enemy.
This marksmanship suited Guo Liqing, but unfortunately it has been lost.
Although the Quanzhen spear technique did not meet Guo Liqing's needs, and the Yang family spear technique only had one move, he still practiced it seriously, hoping to understand his own spear technique from it.
……
During the break, Nashita brought Guo Liqing water and food.
After Naxita changed into loose Mongolian clothing, covering her body completely, Guo Liqing still looked her up and down.
Nashita instinctively crossed her arms and said angrily, "Master, haven't you been with the princess these past few days enough?"
Guo Liqing was indeed sizing up Nashita, but it wasn't because he was lustful again.
Guo Liqing wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "What are you thinking about?"
Nahita stared at Guo Liqing. "So what are you thinking about?"
Guo Liqing laughed and said, "I was wondering if you could teach me your skills in scaling walls and leaping across rooftops?"
