鲁有脚道:“小人等到处访寻,未得音讯。后听说大汗邀请全真教丘处机道长,我帮才得官人消息,今前来相助。”郭靖呆了半晌心想:“遍天下的丐帮都不知蓉儿下落,只怕是凶多吉少……”眼圈儿不禁红了。
Lu Youjiao said, “The villain waited for the place to visit, but he didn’t hear from me. Later, I heard that Khan invited Taoist Priest Qiu Chuji of Quanzhen Sect, and our gang got the news from the officials. Now we come to help.” Guo Jing stayed for a long time and thought, “The Beggars’ Sect all over the world don’t know the whereabouts of Ronger, I’m afraid it’s bad luck…” His eyes could not help blushing.
郭靖命亲兵安顿了帮众,自去京报大汗。大汗道:“好,都编在你麾下。”郭靖说起辞官之事,被大汗怒斥。郭靖没法,回到自己帐中只是沉默不语。
Guo Jing ordered his soldiers to settle down the gang members and went to Beijing News to sweat. Khan said, “Well, it’s all under your command.” Guo Jing was scolded by Khan when he talked about resigning. Guo Jing could not, but went back to his account and remained silent.
到了傍晚,鲁有脚问知此事,进帐劝慰道:“听说官人有部岳飞的武穆遗书,此是军阵要诀,不正可以派用场吗?”这一言提醒了郭靖,当即取出,挑灯夜读至天明。可书中有些处所却怎么也看不明白。
In the evening, Lu Youjiao asked about the matter and went in to comfort him: “I heard that the official had a Wu Mu’s suicide note from Yue Fei. This is the key to the military battle. Isn’t it useful?” This remark reminded Guo Jing, took it out immediately, and lit the lamp and read it until dawn. But some places in the book can’t be understood.
第二天,郭靖便向鲁有脚请教。鲁有脚道:“小人一时不明,待下去想想。”他只出帐片刻,回来便能解释得清清楚楚。郭靖大喜,继续向他请教。说也奇怪,鲁长老当面总是回答不出,但只要出去一回,便能疑难立解。
The next day, Guo Jing asked Lu Youjiao for advice. Lu Youjiao said, “The villain is unknown for a moment. Let’s think about it later.” He only paid the bill for a moment, and when he came back, he could explain it clearly. Guo Jing was very happy and continued to ask him for advice. Strange to say, Elder Lu could not answer in person, but once he went out, he could solve the problem.
这一日,郭靖故意问起一个字,鲁有脚又说须出去想想。等鲁有脚一出帐,郭靖偷偷跟了上去。只见他匆匆进了一个小帐,不久便即回出。迎面见到郭靖说道:“小人想着了。”接着说了那个字的音义。
On this day, Guo Jing deliberately asked a word. Lu Youjiao said that he had to go out and think about it. As soon as Lu Youjiao paid the bill, Guo Jing followed up secretly. He rushed into a small account and soon returned. Seeing Guo Jing face to face, he said, “The villain thinks about it.” Then he said the sound and meaning of the word.
郭请笑道:“你另有师傅,何不请来见我?”说完径自向那小帐走去。一掀开帐幕,只见后帐来回抖动,却不见人影。郭靖料想这里定有高人相助,只是不愿与他相见,自思不便强人所难,当下将此事搁在一边。
Guo smiled and said, “You have another master. Why don’t you come to see me?” Then he walked to the small account. As soon as the curtain was opened, the back curtain shook back and forth, but no one was seen. Guo Jing expected that there must be a senior person to help him here, but he didn’t want to meet him. He thought it would be inconvenient to impose difficulties on others, and put the matter aside now.
此后,郭靖一直夜读兵书,日间就依书上之法操练上卒。过月余,他所统的万人队伍已将岳飞的八阵战法演习纯热。
Since then, Guo Jing has been reading military books at night, and practicing his soldiers in the daytime according to the law in the books. More than a month later, the team of ten thousand people under his command had made Yue Fei’s eight battle tactics exercises very hot.
有一日天高气爽,蒙古十五个万人队伍齐整地排在大草原上,成吉思汗祭过天地,誓师出征。临行湔,大汗对诸将道:“我年巳花甲,此次出征，未必能活着回来,今要立一个儿子,日后可继我大业。”
One day, the sky was clear and crisp. Fifteen thousand people of Mongolia lined up on the prairie. Genghis Khan sacrificed to heaven and earth, and vowed to go out. Before leaving, Khan said to the generals, “I am in my 60s. I may not come back alive after this expedition. I want to have a son today, and I can follow my great cause in the future.”
众诸将静候大汗说出继承者的名字。可大订却向长子术赤和次子察合台道:“你们看谁该当立?”结果二人谁也不服谁,反倒当着大汗的面吵了起来。
The generals waited for Khan to name his successor. But Dading said to the eldest son, Shuchi, and the second son, Chagatai, “Who do you think should stand up?” But neither of them was convinced, and instead they quarreled in front of the sweat.
成吉思汗见状大怒,心想:“兄弟二人今日如此自相为敌,日后如何是好?”遂立三子窝阔台。当目成吉思汗大宴诸将,庆祝新立太子。
Genghis Khan was furious when he saw this, and thought to himself, “The two brothers are so self enemies today. What should we do in the future?” So he set up the three sons’ nest. When Genghis Khan feasted the generals to celebrate the new crown prince.
众将直铁至深夜方散郭靖回营帐时也有些醉意,正要解衣安寝,忽然一名亲兵冲进帐报道:“驸马爷,不好啦,大王子、二王子喝醉了,各自带了兵去厮杀啦。”郭靖大惊道:“快报大汗。”“大汗醉了,叫不醒他。”
Guo Jing was also a little drunk when the general Zhitie broke up late at night and went back to the camp. He was about to take off his clothes and sleep when a private soldier rushed into the tent and reported: “No, my son-in-law, the first prince and the second prince are drunk, and each of them took his soldiers to fight.” Guo Jing was shocked and said, “Report the sweat quickly.” “The sweat is drunk, and can’t wake him up.”
