Chapter 133: Changes in Xiangyang

However, it is said that after Yeluqi became the leader of the gang, he worked hard to make the country prosperous, showing his eloquence at first glance, and he was supported by the gang. However, the dog beating stick was lost, so it had to be replaced with a bamboo stick for the time being.

A few days later, someone sent a congratulatory gift at night, a long wooden box. Jereqi asked the giver, saying that he was just running errands with money and did not know. Yeluqi got to the room and saw that the box read "Congratulations to Uncle Yelu on being elected as the helper", with no name and no surname. When I opened the box, I saw that it was an iron rod, probably with a special material added to it, the whole body was dark green, and there was a raised spherical head at the front end of the rod, which was integrated with the rod body, and the weight was appropriate.

Yeluqi didn't know who gave it, but these days he was learning the dog stick method with Huang Rong, and thought: "This stick is very good in your hand, it is a gift from people in the rivers and lakes, and an iron rod is not valuable, so I will use it." ”

The next day, Huang Rong saw that the stick held by Yeluqi had a strange appearance, very similar to a dog-beating stick, and asked its origin. Yeluqi had never seen a dog stick, and when he heard Huang Rong point it out, he thought that if his origin was unknown, he would inevitably seem to be hasty, anyway, he would use it for the time being, and if he found the dog stick in the future, it would be naturally invalid, so he would say that it was made by friends in the rivers and lakes. Huang Rong nodded, praising him for his thoughtfulness and never forgetting to look for the beggars' tokens.

A few days later, a group of people came to Xiangyang, with great fanfare to Yeluqi to present a jar of Western Qiong wine, as well as other gifts to accompany them, as a gift of congratulations, asked their gang, called "Lao Tie Tiantuan", is newly established, admired the beggar gang's righteous deeds, special respect, Lu Tuan Commander will come to visit soon.

I saw that the wine was luxuriously packaged, and the aroma was fragrant after ten steps from the altar, and the wine was mellow and unusual. The aroma of wine wafts everywhere, but anyone who smells it is overwhelmed with emotion: if you can take a sip, this life will be in vain.

Yeluqi has become the leader of the beggar gang, so he has coarse clothes and food, how can he drink this luxurious wine? It was transferred to Guo Jing, the prospective father-in-law. Seeing such a fine wine, Guo Jing didn't want to waste it casually, so he was ready to open the altar to entertain guests on the day Guo Fu left the cabinet.

Unexpectedly, there was still half a month before Guo Fu's wedding, and Hong Qigong came to Xiangyang. It turned out that he heard about the wine and fragrance of the Western Kingdom, and according to his gluttony and character, if such a fine wine belonged to someone else, he had to drink it secretly. But the wine is his beloved disciple's, and he wakes up laughing in his dreams, how can he resist the temptation? It was a special trip to taste.

Of course, Guo Jing will not shirk, Huang Rong cooks in person, and the two of them accompany the master to eat in the mansion, catch up and toast. Hong Qigong and Guo Jing didn't see each other for many days, and they drank happily, praising that the wine was Yaochi jade liquid, which was the emperor in the wine. Guo Jing tasted a few large bowls, Huang Rong also had a few glasses, and the rest was drunk by the master.

Early the next morning, Guo Jing came back from a tour of the city, and the family had breakfast with Hong Qigong, and they were happy, and suddenly saw Lu Wende coming in a hurry. Guo Jing and Huang Rong immediately got up to greet him, knowing that there must be something important, because Lu Wende, as a city defense pacification envoy, must have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace.

Guo Jing asked urgently: "The Mongolian army is attacking the city?" ”

Lu Wende shook his head, as if there was something unspeakable. Huang Rong felt that this matter was strange, even if the war was tight, he would only send troops to report, and when he rarely came to the door in person, he said: "Lord Lu, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly." ”

Lu Wende sighed, took out a scroll from his back, and asked his entourage to hand it to Guo Jing. Guo Jing unfolded intently.

"Holy Decree!" His heart sank.

This holy decree was issued by the imperial court to Lu Wende, which roughly means that the gangs headed by Guo Jing gathered in Xiangyang, in the name of garrisoning, making noise and dominance, flouting national law, and causing chaos in the court, from now on, Xiangyang shall not retain idle people, let alone participate in military politics, and the imperial court will add three generals and 20,000 troops.

"Faint King!" Guo Jing scolded.

"Shh~~ Guo Daxia whispered. Alas! Xiangyang has been stationed for many years, thanks to the help of Guo Daxia and his wife and many heroes, the Great Song Dynasty can enjoy peace, if you go, this is undoubtedly the bottom of the kettle. But under the whole world, it is not the king's land; the shore of the land; Could it be that I am a little appeaser, how dare I go against the holy will? ”

Guo Jing gritted his teeth with hatred, and resisted Mongolia for many years because of a heart to serve the country, and he poured more than 20 years of hard work in Xiangyang, and he couldn't bear to leave. Huang Rong understood his mind best and held his hands tightly.

After a long silence, Yeluqi came with a few elders and eight bags of disciples, and Zhu Ziliu, Wu Santong, Yeluyan, Wan Yanping, etc. also came, because they heard that Lord Lu had an urgent matter to come to Guofu, and he was afraid that there would be a war, so he got the news of letting him evacuate, and he was all cold.

If he stays, Lu Wende will be implicated for resisting the decree; If you go, Xiangyang is also in danger.

Huang Rong came with him because of her love for Guo Jing, and only after more than ten years did she gradually realize the righteousness and have patriotic feelings.

After hesitating, suddenly a family member sent a post, and it was Huo Tianlong, the leader of the Iron Palm Gang, who came to pay his respects!

Guo Jing was indignant, he was angry, and said loudly: "I thought I would meet him!" After finishing speaking, he strode out the door, followed by Huang Rong and the others.

I saw a crowd of people waiting outside the door, and there were hundreds of them. The first person was less than forty years old, and his bearing was extraordinary, and he was a fire dragon.

Guo Jing said: "What is the fire gang leader doing to find Guo?" He hated this man for turning against him, collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, without the slightest politeness.

"Guo Daxia is polite, just below, why bother so many heroes to go out to greet him, I am really flattered."

Huang Rong said in her heart, after this person's face, I am afraid that no one can match it. Then he said: "I think the Fire Gang Master probably misunderstood, we are sending Lord Lu back to the house, and all those who disdain it will be rejected." ”

"Emperor Fang Wen issued a holy decree, although Guo Daxia is a hero, but I am afraid that he will not be able to stay in the city, it is better to join my Iron Palm Gang, you are the leader of the gang, I am willing to be a deputy, not to participate in military politics, and to end up happy and comfortable, isn't it beautiful?"

"It's not enough to be different, what Your Excellency did, Guo didn't dare to agree. In the past, under the rule of the Liu Gang, he served the country with all his heart, how loyal! It's a pity that he died young, but I didn't expect his iron palm to help you, and he actually started to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, which is unbearable! Hearing that the fire gang leader's martial arts are world-famous, Guo happened to be taught. ”

"Guo Daxia is already a person in the rivers and lakes, why do you open your mouth and shut up about national affairs? Since you want to take the school entrance examination for martial arts, Huo Mou will teach Guo Daxia how to move, please! In the face of Guo Jing and many masters, Huo Tianlong did not have a trace of timidity.

As soon as the fight broke out, Guo Jing only made more than ten moves before he felt powerless, and gradually his skills declined, and he couldn't help but be frightened! And the Fire Heavenly Dragon was offensive, and his palm power was strong and fierce. Seeing that Guo Jing couldn't parry, he was about to be hit, and Huang Rong attacked with a bamboo stick.

Huo Tianlong sneered: "It turns out that this is the way of the virtuous couple's martial arts, the scales are not separated from the stone, the stone is not separated from the scale, haha~haha~"

Huang Rong said: "What kind of morality do you talk about when dealing with traitors? But after a few moves, I also felt that I couldn't catch my breath, so I had to play the skill of the dog stick.

Guo Jing's internal strength gradually couldn't be raised, and the battle was very difficult, and he shouted: "You killed the Lu gang leader!" ”

Huo Tianlong said: "Nonsense! Lu You's foot is dead, you should ask your good son-in-law. As soon as these words came out, Guo Jing and Huang Rong were immediately distracted, but after thinking about it, with Yeluqi's personality and skills, he must not have wanted to provoke.

Huo Tianlong took the opportunity to bypass Huang Rong's stick method and slapped it on Guo Jing's chest, Guo Jing didn't have the strength to completely dissolve it, so that he was slapped in the shoulder, only to feel the breath in his chest and abdomen tumbling like a tide, his throat was fishy and sweet, and he spit out a mouthful of blood.

Hong Qigong had already seen that Guo Jing was not supportive, and he didn't know why, but when he saw that his apprentice was injured, he came to the rescue, so that Shengping's most proud move was "Kang Long has regrets", and the fire dragon heard the situation and fought back with his backhand. Hong Qigong felt that the power of the Fire Heavenly Dragon was like a raging fire, and his internal strength was dwarfed, so he couldn't parry it, and took two steps back. When he made another move, he became more and more like chaff, this feeling seemed familiar to him, and his skills gradually deteriorated! I had to defend. barely maintained under the cover of Huang Rong's dog-beating stick.

For a while, the three of them lost their skills! Huotian Dragon gained the upper hand the more he fought, and after dozens of moves, Hong Qigong was also injured, and Huang Rong was unable to support it. Guo Fu and Yeluqi hurriedly stepped forward to rescue.

The people on the Fire Sky Dragon side naturally rushed forward, and the two sides fought together.

Huo Tianlong brought hundreds of people, and the beggar gang disciples had thousands of them, and they had been scattered in the city, and there were less than two hundred in the vicinity, and they were in a weak position in terms of numbers. And Guo Jing and Hong Qigong were not only injured, but also lost their internal strength, and had almost no combat power. Huang Rong also lost her internal strength, fought hard, and was exhausted.

On the other hand, Huo Tianlong's martial arts are overwhelming, and there is no sign of decay. Zhu Ziliu and Yeluqi were teaming up to fight him, and they were at a stalemate for a while. He shouted: "The emperor has a decree to catch Guo Jing!" Kill Guo Jing! And his subordinates echoed one after another, and the shouts of "the emperor has a decree", "kill Guo Jing" and "catch Guo Jing" came and went, and there was chaos in the city.

Huang Rong already knew that Huo Tianlong's collaboration with the enemy and betrayal of the country also had a lot to do with the imperial court, and the holy decree must be related to him, and the current situation was unfavorable, but no matter what, she had to protect her husband and let him get on the red horse quickly. Of course Guo Jing refused, he listened to Huo Tianlong's unauthorized misinterpretation of the holy will, how could he refute it? Afraid that it would affect the people in the city, and that the Mongolian army would take advantage of the situation, he ordered Guo Fu to find Guo Xiang and Po Yu, let her sister and brother sit on the red horse, and go out of the city together.

Those soldiers defending the city seemed to have already received orders from their superiors, and in the face of the suffering of this national hero who had been stationed in Xiangyang for more than 20 years, they watched coldly and opened the door to let them go. Guo Jing, Huang Rong and the others were all cold, Guo Jing said in his heart: "That's it, that's it, even if you escape this catastrophe, Xiangyang has nothing to do with me!" ”

Some of the beggar disciples elsewhere received the news and gradually rushed over, and then poured out of the city, and suddenly heard a loud "boom" of the city gate, and closed it tightly! It can be regarded as completely cutting off the road of the righteous army in the rivers and lakes.

With the increase in the number of beggar disciples, Guo Jing's side gradually grasped the initiative and covered Guo Jing, Hong Qigong, and Huang Rong to flee to the southeast. The three of them tacitly understood that it was caused by yesterday's Western wine, although Guo Jing was invincible, he could not resist this kind of medicine that could make him lose his strength, and the enemy was scheming and could not prevent it.

The crowd marched eastward in the scuffle, and before they knew that they were far away from the city, they had reached a wilderness.

Yeluqi beat the dog stick for the first time, but he couldn't fully grasp it, but fortunately, his understanding and foundation were far stronger than Lu Youjiao, he joined forces with Zhu Ziliu, and Huo Tianlong couldn't help it for a while, but was poked a little. Suddenly, Huo Tianlong jumped out of the battle circle and shouted, "Stop!" Listen to me. The sound was like thunder, resounding through the heavens and the earth, and everyone was shocked by its profound skills and consciously stopped.
