Chapter 69 You want to learn marksmanship?
The next morning, a group of Quanzhen Sect members gathered in front of Caotang Temple, where Sun Bu'er was saying goodbye to Abbot Jueming.
Guo Liqing led over his little red horse and said to Mu Nianci, "Sister, since you're not feeling well, why don't you ride my little red horse? It's an Akhal-Teke horse, stronger and more stable than ordinary horses."
"Brother Guo, I'm fine, no need..."
Guo Liqing pulled her over directly, saying, "If you consider me your older brother, then don't stand on ceremony." After saying that, he was about to help her onto the horse.
Mu Nianci couldn't refuse, so she accepted.
Guo Liqing did this for two reasons: firstly, Akhal-Teke horses are indeed more stable than ordinary horses; secondly, although the disciples of the Quanzhen Sect had horses, they all rode in pairs on one horse, which was rather shabby.
Out of concern for the "pregnant woman," Mu Nianci was allowed to ride the little red horse alone.
Guo Liqing had no choice but to share a horse with Nashita.
Fortunately, Nahita's horse is a tall, broad-backed horse from the Western Regions, so it doesn't feel crowded when two people ride together.
With Nashita in front and Guo Liqing behind, Guo Liqing held the reins, thus forming an embracing posture around Nashita.
Mu Nianci was somewhat puzzled when she saw this scene. But she didn't think too much about it. Firstly, the other party was just a maid, and secondly, people from the martial arts world didn't have so many rules when they were out and about.
After setting off, Guo Liqing and Nashita walked at the very back of the group.
Nahita teased from time to time, "You're too nice to that Mu girl! You gave her your horse so she could share one with me."
"Didn't we often ride the same horse together before?"
"That was then," Nashita scoffed. "Since you like that girl, why don't you take this opportunity to ride with Miss Mu?"
"I already said, I'm only taking care of her out of kindness!"
"Hmph! Even if you wanted to, I doubt they would allow it!"
Nashita has become more mischievous, teasing Guo Liqing from time to time, and is no longer as obedient as before.
Perhaps because the two of them spent every day and night together and became too familiar with each other, they lost the initial restraint.
However, Guo Liqing was happy to see Nashita like this, occasionally teasing her, but always going along with her.
"You talk a lot," Guo Liqing said in a low voice, then slapped Nashita's buttocks.
"what!"
Nashita was caught off guard by Guo Liqing's sudden action and cried out.
"What's wrong?"
The person in front heard the sound and quickly asked.
Guo Liqing gave an awkward smile and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing!"
Mu Nianci turned around, rode her horse closer to them, and said, "Brother Guo, you are tall and strong, it's too crowded for you to ride with this young lady. Why don't you let her ride with me? Your Akhal-Teke horse is tall and strong, it won't be too crowded for the two of us women to ride together."
"OK!"
Nahita patted the horse's back with one hand and jumped directly behind Mu Nianci.
Seeing how quickly the girl moved, an unbelievable thought popped into Mu Nianci's mind: Could it be that Brother Guo is abusing this woman?
That's incredible!
Who is Guo Jing?! He's the kind of person who blushes even when he touches a girl! How could he be like this?
Mu Nianci only thought about it for a moment before dismissing the idea.
After Nahita left, Mu Nianci didn't leave but chatted with her.
"What's your name, young lady?"
"Nahita!"
"Hmm? What a strange name."
"I am Persian!"
Mu Nianci asked curiously, "How did you, a Persian, become Brother Guo's maid?"
Nahita smiled and said, "After Grand Marshal Guo captured Samarkand, Genghis Khan originally planned to massacre the city to vent his anger! Fortunately, Grand Marshal Guo intervened and saved the civilians in the city. Seeing his benevolence, I stayed by his side as his maid."
Mu Nianci's eyes revealed surprise. He turned to look at Guo Liqing and said, "Brother Guo is indeed kind and righteous."
However, Mu Nianci still couldn't understand it. Given Guo Jing's personality, even if a woman offered herself to be his maid, he wouldn't accept. Why, then...?
Mu Nianci couldn't figure it out, and she didn't continue thinking about it.
Mu Nianci's gaze fell on the saddlebag, where she saw a long spear broken in two.
Mu Nianci had practiced marksmanship with Yang Tiexin and was very familiar with guns, so she recognized it at a glance.
Guo Jing came from the desert and knew how to shoot arrows, so it was normal for him to carry a bow and arrows on his saddle. However, he did not know how to use a spear, so how could he have a long spear?
Mu Nianci asked curiously, "Brother Guo, is this spear yours?"
Guo Liqing asked in confusion, "How did you figure out that the spear was divided into two pieces wrapped in cloth?"
"You've forgotten, when I roamed the martial world with my godfather, I used the Yang family spear technique."
Guo Liqing suddenly realized: "Oh yes! You know the Yang family spear technique!"
Seeing Guo Liqing's somewhat excited expression, Mu Nianci asked curiously, "Brother Guo, are you practicing your marksmanship?"
Guo Liqing nodded and said, "I previously asked Master Qiu to teach me a set of spear techniques for use in battle. By the way, could you teach me the Yang family spear techniques, sister?"
Mu Nianci nodded and said, "Although my godfather said that this spear technique is a secret of the Yang family, the Guo and Yang families are old friends. Now that the Yang family spear technique has no successor, it's not something my godfather wants to see. Since Brother Guo wants to learn, I'll pass it on to you!"
"good!"
The group stopped to rest by a stream, and Mu Nianci wanted to take advantage of the break to demonstrate her marksmanship to Guo Liqing. After dismounting, she took Guo Liqing's spear and walked over.
Seeing her holding the spear, Guo Liqing quickly asked, "What are you doing?"
Mu Nianci was taken aback and said, "Brother Guo, didn't you want to learn spearmanship? I'm currently learning swordsmanship with my master, and I don't have a spear with me, so I can only teach you with your spear."
Guo Liqing quickly took the spear from her arms and said, "This spear is too heavy! Be careful not to hurt yourself."
Mu Nianci smiled and said, "Your spear is indeed heavy, and I can't wield it perfectly with my strength, but it's no problem to use it to teach you moves."
Guo Liqing waved his hand and said, "You're not in a good position right now, so don't practice your swordsmanship. After we finish our business, we'll find an inn to rest. You can draw down the spear techniques, and I'll figure them out myself."
Although Mu Nianci was puzzled, she still nodded in agreement.
Sun Bu'er walked to the center of the crowd and said to everyone, "Everyone, let's rest for a moment. We need to set off immediately, or we'll be late!"
"yes!"
Urged on by Sun Bu'er, the group continued on their way. They hadn't gone far when they encountered a group of Jin soldiers!
"These Jin soldiers have actually advanced ahead of us!"
"Uncle-Master, I know a shortcut. If we take this shortcut, we can definitely reach Lingxi Temple before the Jin soldiers."
"Okay! Let's go!"
The group turned onto a side path and rushed into the forest, preparing to travel quickly.
Guo Liqing approached Mu Nianci and Nashita, took the bow and arrows and spear from the little red horse, and then said to Nashita, "Nashita, Nianci, slow down, there's no need to rush, I'll be there ahead."
"good!"
