In the "Historical Records", Shi Sheng Sima Qian depicted many ranger leaders in the Western Han Dynasty at that time, among which the most admired and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people was the ranger Guo Jie. Born in Jiyuan, Henan Province, Guo Jie, whose aura shrouded him, his ancestors Xu Fu, known as the ancient goddess of heavenly machines, provided prophecies for countless dignitaries and historical celebrities, and its accuracy is unparalleled.

Although Guo Jie did not inherit his mother's numerology metaphysical skills, he chose to take the road of a ranger. The term ranger may sound like a symbol of dashing and boldness, friendship and bravery, but in ancient times, the term was not entirely praised, but also derogatory. Ranger can be roughly divided into four groups: cloth heroes, sword warriors, and heroic heroes. The first three are all righteous people who act with a clear conscience, and for the heroic heroes, they are not only chivalrous and righteous, but also local heroes, on the one hand, they may drive innocent people to break the law and commit crimes, and run rampant in the countryside, on the other hand, they may also reflect generosity and kindness, saving the needy.

Subsequently, Guo Jie decided to change direction, hoping to wash away his past sins and become a law-abiding citizen. He became more humble and low-key, observant of propriety, and tolerant of his enemies, showing his broad-mindedness.
It is true that although he is ruthless, he has always adhered to moral principles in the face of great rights and wrongs, so heroes from all walks of life have come to join Guo Jie's team. Guo Jie was thus promoted to become the only giant on the rivers and lakes.
This time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was furious and decided to order the arrest of Guo Jie. Guo Jie was forced to embark on a fleeing journey, and when he was in a difficult situation, the local hero Ji Shaogong fell in love with him and managed to escort him quietly across the customs. When ** pursued here, Ji Shaogong sympathized with Guo Jie's danger and was willing to sacrifice himself to ensure his safety.

At this time, a scholar retorted that Guo Jie's past behavior was obviously against the law, how could he be called a good person? The follower, who was obsessed with Guo Jie, was furious when he heard this, and immediately drew a long knife and beheaded the scholar to death, and brutally cut off the opponent's tongue as punishment.
