Chapter Six, The Three Heroes of the Dusty Road

After Guo Jing finished speaking, he turned to ask Jia Liyu, "Have you always been together?" There was even a hint of envy in his tone

Upon hearing this, Guo Jing's expression changed slightly, and he quickly shook his head in silence. However, the expression on his face unmistakably revealed the fact that he recognized Genghis Khan, proving that he was indeed a gentleman who could not feign ignorance

How do you know his surname is Guo

Jia Liyu suddenly recalled that the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan had advised Guo Jing not to reveal his identity. Guo Jing held the seven masters in the highest regard throughout his life and would naturally not go against their instructions, which is why he reacted this way

Jia Liyu was organizing the plot when he heard a shop assistant shout: "What are you doing? Why don't you get lost?"

The three of them finally exchanged names and discussed their ages. Guo Jing was already over eighteen years old, naturally making him the eldest brother. Jia Liyu was seventeen, thus he became the second brother, while Huang Rong, being the youngest, remained the little brother

Fish Dragon Town, Jia Liyu answered truthfully

What does "big brother" mean

"Neither far nor near." Jia Liyu did not wish to discuss herself further and countered Guo Jing's inquiry: "What kind of person was Genghis Khan?"

In the future, the three of us will roam the world, and we shall be known as the Three Heroes of the Dusty Roads said Jia Liyu with a smile

Huang Rong lowered her head and smiled, and Jia Liyu quickly responded: "However, in the future, elder brother will definitely become a great hero for the country and the people, just like Li Jing."

At this moment, Jia Liyu had already eaten to a point of satisfaction, feeling invigorated. He looked up at Guo Jing and was astonished to find that the usually inarticulate Guo Jing had become eloquent and articulate, speaking at length about the many embarrassing incidents he had experienced with vivid detail. Not only was Huang Rong listening with great interest, but even he was secretly amazed. Is this the power of fate in the unseen?

Huang Rong waved at Guo Jing, who quickly walked over and asked, "Do the two of you lack anything?"

The young man was furious and rushed forward to punch Jiali Yu. Huang Rong reached out to pull Jiali Yu back gently, narrowly avoiding the punch. The young man was relentless and attempted to strike Huang Rong instead. It seemed that a young man, presumably Guo Jing, rushed over to block the assailant, saying, "Don't be violent, put it on my tab." As he spoke, he picked up a steamed bun and handed it to Huang Rong

I am not Huang Rong, I do not possess martial arts skills, and I do not need the perfect love of Jing Gege

Huang Rong also laughed and said: "Among the Three Heroes of the Wind and Dust, there is a Li Jing, and my elder brother is called Guo Jing, which can be considered a fateful connection"

If one were to carefully calculate according to the timeline, the specific time of the first meeting between Guo Jing and Huang Rong can indeed be traced. However, on one hand, Jiali Yu has read the novel and watched the television series many times but has never engaged in this kind of work. On the other hand, Jiali Yu has a preconceived notion that even if he were to appear in this world, the plot of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" would still proceed unchanged, without any unexpected developments. Therefore, when Huang Rong taught him how to earn steamed buns, he did not hesitate at all, until he saw Guo Jing make his entrance, at which point he became utterly bewildered.

Upon seeing this, Guo Jing was momentarily taken aback, but he did not say much and returned to the inn to continue his meal. Huang Rong turned back and whispered to Jia Liyu, "We won't be having steamed buns today; instead, we will have a grand feast." As she spoke, she tilted her head slightly, indicating for Jia Liyu to follow her into the inn

The subsequent events were no different from what Jiali Yu remembered. Huang Rong, dissatisfied with the waiter’s negligence, played the role of a pig to eat the tiger, erupting on the spot. With great expertise and professionalism, she ordered four types of dried fruits, four types of fresh fruits, two salty and sour dishes, and four types of candied fruits. After giving the waiter a taste of her skills, she cleverly ordered eight side dishes to accompany the drinks, providing the waiter with a vivid lesson.

Stir-fried duck feet, chicken tongue soup, deer belly stuffed with Jiang Yao, soy sauce and vinegar pig trotters ... . ... As Jia Liyu ate, he couldn't help but reflect that there are so many delicacies in this world, and one can never truly know their flavors without tasting them firsthand

Jia Liyu had a preconceived notion about Huang Rong, and he did not find her eloquence particularly impressive; he simply thought that Huang Rong was of that caliber and nothing to be surprised about. However, Guo Jing, who had long resided beyond the Great Wall, was deeply captivated by Huang Rong's elegant discourse and profound knowledge, and his gaze towards her was already filled with admiration

Are we really going like this?" Jiali Yu asked while walking.

Huang Rong smiled and said: "Elder brother said that the three of us are like old friends at first sight, so why not become sworn brothers? In the future, when we venture into the martial world, we can look out for each other."

Huang Rong kicked Jia Liyu under the table, signaling him to stop asking questions. Jia Liyu understood and calmly said, "I have heard the Master mention Genghis Khan before, and I thought everyone in the desert would have seen him." He then changed the subject, saying, "By the way, Brother Guo, did you come to the Central Plains from Mongolia all by yourself?"

Guo Jing said: "Together with several of my masters, the masters had matters to attend to midway, so I will go ahead first"

Guo Jing smiled and shook his head, then instructed the waiter to add two sets of chopsticks and bowls. The waiter, seeing that Jia Liyu and Huang Rong were dressed in tattered and shabby clothes, was rather reluctant to attend to them, and after calling for a long time, lazily brought over two sets of chopsticks and bowls.

Jia Liyu knew very well what was about to happen. Naturally, it was something he desired but could not obtain. He followed Huang Rong inside, where Huang Rong stood in front of Guo Jing, remaining silent and merely tilting her head to look at him. Guo Jing felt embarrassed under her gaze and invited, "Would you all like to join us for a meal? Is that alright?"

Guo Jing had never heard the story of the Three Heroes of the Dusty World, and his expression was somewhat puzzled. Huang Rong then recounted the tale of Qiu Ran Ke, Li Jing, and Hong Fu Nu. After listening, Guo Jing laughed and said, "It is a pity that the third brother is not a woman"

Huang Rong thought for a moment, did not ask any further questions, stopped in her tracks, and turned to look at Guo Jing, who was holding the red horse, standing on the long street, gazing at her with a sense of reluctance

Jia Liyu smiled and nodded, while Guo Jing joyfully said: "That would be the best possible outcome"

Indeed, after Huang Rong took the steamed bun, she threw it to the mangy dog at the door, saying: "This bun is poorly made." The two shop assistants watched in dismay, exclaiming: "Feeding a white bun to a dog."

After finishing their meal, the three of them stepped out of the restaurant. The cold wind was biting, making one feel a chill. Jia Liyu had just consumed wine and meat, and his body was warm, so he was not afraid of the severe cold. However, Huang Rong shrank her neck and said to Guo Jing: "This is where we part ways."

Jia Liyu shook his head with a smile, and Huang Rong said: "I only met my elder brother today."

I had encountered him and his six masters once before, and I heard his name from a distance

Guo Jing nodded and asked Jia Liyu, "Where are you from, brother?"

At that moment, Jiali Yu suddenly realized something: when Guo Jing first met Huang Rong, he had subconsciously recognized her femininity, albeit vaguely. This point is not explicitly stated in the text, but there are clues to follow. At that time, although Huang Rong was dressed as a beggar, her tone and demeanor when facing Guo Jing were imbued with the charm of a young woman. How could Guo Jing feel an instant connection and reluctance to part with her solely because of her extensive knowledge?

Jia Liyu felt a stir in his heart upon witnessing this scene: "Ah, it seems the plot has aligned once again"

Jia Liyu shook his head and said earnestly, "Elder brother, you can trust me without reservation."

Jia Liyu made a sound of acknowledgment and said no more, fearing that he might divert the plot. Even so, Huang Rong still cast a strange glance at him. After a moment of contemplation, Jia Liyu suddenly realized that he had just blurted out "Brother Guo" when referring to Guo Jing, yet Guo Jing had not introduced himself to them. Fortunately, Guo Jing was straightforward; otherwise, he would surely have begun to suspect him.

At that moment, when Jia Liyu was reading the novel, it was precisely the dead of night. He was so captivated by the story that he felt an overwhelming urge to dive into the book and indulge in the narrative, as if he were experiencing the "Midnight Newspaper Office" firsthand. Now that his dream has come true, he indeed finds himself in the midst of it all, feeling an extraordinary sense of wonder.

Just as he turned around to call out to Huang Rong to leave, another shop assistant shouted: "Put down the steamed bun!" Jia Liyu let out a sigh and obediently put down the steamed bun, but due to his dirty hands, several black fingerprints were left on it, making it evidently unsellable.

After the fruits were brought up, Huang Rong only looked at them without eating, while the famished Jiali Yu did not hold back, tasting each one together with Guo Jing. Indeed, they were all delicacies he had never tasted before. In fact, some of the names of the fruits, candied fruits, and dishes were ones Jiali Yu had never even heard of.

Huang Rong ordered a large table of wine, dishes, and snacks, yet she hardly touched her chopsticks. Occasionally, she would eat a few bites, mostly of vegetables. She watched as Jiali Yu and Guo Jing devoured their food, while one person beside them spoke grandly, sharing tales of their adventures in the martial world.

Jia Liyu came to his senses and said, "If you want to leave, then go ahead. If you are not selling, I will buy from another store"

After Huang Rong finished speaking, she inquired about Guo Jing's background. Guo Jing set down his chopsticks and began to recount his amusing experiences in the desert

Guo Jing said apologetically, "Second brother, do not make fun of me"

Brother Guo is a rare good person; why not become sworn brothers with him

Huang Rong was not polite either, smiling as she said, "Great, we are just hungry too." As she spoke, she turned to glance at Jia Liyu, inviting him to sit down with them. Jia Liyu, facing Guo Jing and Huang Rong in such a real and vivid manner, felt a mix of excitement and complexity in his emotions, awkwardly cupping his hands in thanks to Guo Jing.

Guo Jing took off his mink coat and draped it over Huang Rong, then took out two ingots of gold and placed them in the coat's pocket, saying: "Each of you gets one ingot." Huang Rong nodded slightly, did not express her thanks, and reached out to pull Jia Li Yu away.

"Yulong Town?" Guo Jing shook his head, indicating that he had not heard of it: "Is it far from here?"

Is this script the wrong one? The White Dragon never mentioned to me that my appearance would change the plot
