Chapter 232: Never Come Back, How Good Would It Be? (Ask for subscription)
Guo Jing and Huang Rong led more than 300 heroes from the rivers and lakes to set off from Dasheng Pass and galloped all the way towards Xiangyang City.
By the time they arrived, however, the battle was over, and as far as the eye could see, there were severed limbs and blood all over the ground.
"The Great War is over?!" Huang Rong's pupils shrank suddenly when she saw this scene, and she said in a shocked tone: "The imperial court actually won?" ”
She could judge the outcome of this battle just by looking at the Great Song soldiers on the battlefield who were collecting supplies and disposing of corpses, as well as the banners on the head of Xiangyang City.
Guo Jing hadn't spoken yet, but the other people in the rivers and lakes had secretly breathed a sigh of relief, if they could not work hard and not send them to death, it would naturally be the best.
"It seems that the Mongols are not remarkable, they took the initiative to attack, and they were defeated so quickly, looking at the corpses all over the ground, I am afraid that the losses of the Mongols this time are not small!"
"Hahaha, that's right, I waited all the way to the gallop, and I originally wanted to kill a few Tartars, but I didn't expect them to fight so much, and they have been cleaned up by the court officers and soldiers."
"Hmph, don't let me run into those Mongols again, or I'll have to teach them a lesson."
Seeing that the war was over, these people in the rivers and lakes could not help but start to talk nonsense, and their words were full of disdain and contempt for the Mongols, and they suddenly forgot how afraid they had just been.
Guo Jing looked around the battlefield, and then said to Huang Rong: "Rong'er, let's go into the city together and ask what is going on." ”
"Okay, Brother Jing, I'm also curious!" Huang Rong replied.
The husband and wife rode horses, and did not hide their figures, swaggering towards the city gate, and a group of people in the rivers and lakes followed behind them.
At this time, a big battle had just ended, and although it was late at night, the soldiers defending the city were still very vigilant.
Guo Jing and his party were discovered as soon as they approached, and an iron arrow immediately fell, and someone shouted at the head of the city: "Who is it? One step closer, no mercy! ”
Guo Jing raised his hand, asked the others to stop, raised his true breath, and his voice clearly reached the city, "I am Guo Jing, I heard that Xiangyang City is surrounded by the Mongolian army, in view of the fact that many heroes from the rivers and lakes rushed to support together. ”
"I don't know what the situation of Xiangyang City is now? The Mongol army has been repulsed? ”
As soon as the soldiers defending the city heard Guo Jing's name, their faces suddenly turned pale, revealing a somewhat respectful look, and their tone was no longer as cold and aggressive as before.
When Genghis Khan was still alive, he once led a large army to besiege Xiangyang in person, if it weren't for Guo Jing, Xiangyang City would have been broken long ago.
Guo Jing Guo Daxia's name is known to everyone in Xiangyang City, and all the people are grateful to him.
When it comes to prestige, neither the generals nor the prefects who command the army can compare with respect.
"It turned out that Guo Daxia arrived, and he was offended, so don't blame him for his responsibility." The soldier guarding the city spoke: "The Mongol army has been completely defeated not long ago, and the remaining remnants of the army have retreated to the north, Xiangyang Chen Zhiwei and my sister. ”
When Guo Jing heard this, his face couldn't help but show joy, "The Mongolian army was really repulsed?" That's a great thing. ”
Before his words fell, there were some people in the rivers and lakes behind him who couldn't wait anymore, and shouted: "Since the Mongol army has been repulsed, I don't dare to delay the attack for a moment, and now I am tired and hungry, why don't you open the city gate quickly and let me wait to enter." ”
"That's it, I'll wait all the way to come, Lao Tzu's stomach is hungry, good wine and meat, serve it first."
"Yes, open the gates."
These people are talking nonsense, and their words are arrogant, they walk the rivers and lakes on weekdays, how could they ever put these soldiers guarding the city gate in their eyes.
Especially some people are local emperors, even court officials must be respectful, and when they speak, they are naturally not very polite.
However, when the soldiers defending the city heard these words, their faces turned cold.
"Guo Daxia, you and others have come all the way to relieve the siege of Xiangyang, and we are deeply admired, but it is not up to us to open the city gate."
"Please Guo Daxia later, I'll go and report it."
Those people in the rivers and lakes immediately stopped doing it when they heard this, "There is Guo Jing, Guo Daxia is here, you still have to report it?" ”
"You open the gates, and I want to see if anyone dares to disagree with letting us in?"
"Open the door!"
Seeing that these people were making trouble, Guo Jing hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Now that the war is over, the city is heavily guarded, and these soldiers are also duty-bound. ”
"It's only natural to go and report it, we might as well wait a moment."
Guo Jing pressed these people to dare not be presumptuous, even if they were a little dissatisfied, they only muttered a few words.
Now the four gates of Xiangyang City, the west gate and the north gate are firmly controlled by the northern army, while the south gate and the east gate are controlled by the army under Li Hu, and the two sides are in a very delicate confrontation situation.
Guo Jing and his entourage came from the north gate, and after the soldiers defending the city reported it, the news quickly spread to Guo Sheng.
"Guo Jing and Huang Rong have arrived?" Guo Sheng's eyes narrowed, how did he not know Guo Jing's influence in Xiangyang City.
Once Guo Jing is allowed to enter Xiangyang City, I am afraid that the situation will change again, which is by no means what he is willing to see.
"Guo Jing is a strong martial artist, Huang Rong is even more scheming, and he has the identity of the leader of the beggar gang, this husband and wife are not easy to provoke."
Guo Sheng pondered for a while, and then made a decision, and ordered the soldiers on the side, "Give me an order immediately, the entire four gates of Xiangyang City, southeast, northwest, and martial law will be imposed for three days, and no one is allowed to enter or leave at will without my instructions." ”
"If anyone disobeys, he will be killed!"
"Yes, General!" The soldier had always only obeyed orders, and when he heard that he only agreed, he did not hesitate to go down to convey the order.
After the soldier left, Guo Sheng's henchman frowned slightly on the side, and said hesitantly: "What did the Lord know about the purpose of the order just now?" ”
"You must know that Guo Jing and Huang Rong have a very high prestige in the entire Xiangyang City, and once they are turned away, I am afraid that many people will be dissatisfied."
"If you do this, I'm afraid the happiest person will be Li Hu, this person will not hesitate to win over Guo Jing and Huang Rong and his wife, and use their strength to deal with us."
"What's more, now that the east gate and south gate of Xiangyang City are not in our hands, the adults directly give the order to the four gates, I'm afraid it will not only be useless, but it will let Li Hu and them know the news that Guo Jing has arrived faster."
When Guo Sheng heard this, a grim smile appeared on his face, "The existence of Guo Jing and Huang Rong is already a threat to us. ”
"If the husband and wife are just strong in martial arts, but they have an extremely terrifying reputation in the entire Xiangyang City, coupled with the support of the people, it is really terrifying."
"In the past, we were lurking in the dark, and the two of them naturally didn't have much to do with us, but now we want to take down the entire Xiangyang City, except for Li Hu, they are the biggest stumbling block."
The henchman said with some puzzlement: "He and Guo Jing and Huang Rong have no ambitions, and they just want to fight the Mongols wholeheartedly, which is a well-known thing." ”
"If we want to deal with them and their husbands, I'm afraid it will backfire and arouse the disgust of hundreds of people, which may be a bit more than worth the loss!"
Guo Sheng only shook his head slightly when he heard this, and secretly thought in his heart: "Looking at the people under your command for the sake of the superiors, it is not to see whether you are loyal, but to see if you have the ability to threaten your status." ”
"Therefore, the more you are in a high position, the more you have to tremble, like walking on thin ice, and you must not make a mistake once you cause the superior to be vigilant, it will be a disaster of death."
"Now that Xiangyang City has repelled the Mongol army, for us, the only ones who can pose a threat are Li Hu and Guo Jing."
"Although Li Hu has a large army, he is a person who does nothing, so he is not worried."
"And Guo Jing seems to have no ambitions, but he is very popular in Xiangyang City, and his wife Huang Rong is even more clever and the leader of the beggar gang."
"That beggar gang has disciples all over the world, and they are better informed than my Mingjiao."
"The situation of the Sect Leader and Guo Jing is actually very similar to each other to a certain extent."
His eyes were gloomy, "Next, if you want to take the entire Xiangyang City into your hands, Guo Jing and Huang Rong are a stumbling block that they have to face." ”
"If you let the Sect Master do this himself, it will only ruin his reputation."
"If I am asked to carry this black cauldron, I may be pointed at by thousands of people and scolded by the people, but I can maintain the reputation of the sect leader."
"I have already offended the sect leader because of the matter of the red practice fairy before, and now I see that the sect leader has obtained Xiangyang, and it has become a hidden dragon out of the abyss."
"If you can't seize the opportunity and gain a firm foothold by the side of the sect leader, if you want to stand out again in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult."
Guo Sheng calculated all this very clearly, and the rudder of Xiangyang City naturally had a very detailed understanding of Guo Jing, a man of the year in Xiangyang.
With his understanding of Guo Jing's character, it will not be very troublesome to deal with this person.
Especially when Guo Jing wants to prepare for the Hero Conference next, this is simply the best time.
As for Li Hu, if he is mixed with Guo Jing......
Scold!
His eyes flashed with cold murderous intent, and he silently calculated everything he had to do next.
Guo Jing and his entourage didn't know that the situation in Xiangyang City had already undergone earth-shaking changes.
They waited for half an hour, and they waited a little impatiently, and only a soldier shouted loudly at the head of the city: "Guo Daxia can't help it, the general has an order, now that the war is over, Xiangyang City is under martial law for three days, and no one is allowed to enter or leave." ”
"Presumptuous, we came all the way to relieve the siege of Xiangyang, and now people are sleepy and tired, but we want to turn us away and sleep in the wilderness, what is the reason?"
Someone was angry on the spot and scolded: "Who is your general? Let him come out, I want to see what he wants?! ”
"Let him come out, let him come out!"
Everyone was already waiting a little impatiently, and at this time, they couldn't press it, and they all scolded at the city.
Even Huang Rong's face is a little unpleasant, if it is someone else, even the husband and wife were turned away, which is a little too unreasonable.
In the end, Guo Jingzhai was kind-hearted, although he was a little surprised, but he was not as angry as others, but just opened his mouth to stop everyone's scolding.
"Now there has just been a tragic battle, and the city gate is heavily guarded, which is also a proper courtesy." Guo Jing was not only not angry, but laughed and said: "Being able to have such a strict military order, it can be seen that Xiangyang City is now solid, but there is no need for us to worry about it, isn't this a good thing." ”
"I waited for my life to rush here, and being able to see Xiangyang City safe and sound is my Guo someone's greatest wish."
"We are all sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, and when we walk the rivers and lakes, sleeping in the wilderness is just an ordinary thing."
"I, Guo, am fortunate enough to be in the wilderness with you, and it is not a blessing."
He was so proud and open-minded that even the soldiers at the head of the city secretly admired him when they heard it.
Guo Jing raised his head and shouted loudly to the soldiers on the head of the city: "The military master of the city, I am going to sleep in the wilderness outside the city now, and I don't say whether I can prepare some dry food and wine." ”
"Don't worry, I, Guo Jing, will give enough silver."
"Today, Xiangyang City is safe and sound, my heart is happy, and I want to drink with all my brothers outside this wilderness, and I won't get drunk or return."
The soldier guarding the city looked a little hot, as if he had become a treacherous villain at the moment, and when he heard this, he said in a loud voice, "Guo Daxia, what are you talking about, you wait, I'll go and prepare wine." ”
Guo Jing clasped his hands into fists and laughed loudly: "Then I will thank you." ”
What happened outside the city, Lu Nianchou had already received the news as soon as possible, but he did not give instructions, let alone give any orders.
Guo Sheng was in charge of everything, he just stood behind and watched silently.
Traveled thousands of miles from Jiaxing and experienced great battles one after another, even if he was strong in martial arts and had divine skills to protect his body, his soul inevitably felt a little tired.
When everything was done, he returned to the courtyard that had been prepared for Cheng Ying.
This courtyard and Li Mochou's courtyard are next to each other, but they are separated by a wall, but a small door is opened, which can allow people to walk back and forth between the two courtyards.
This is also what Lu Nianchou asked Guo Sheng to prepare in advance, if Li Mochou and Cheng Ying were really allowed to live together, such a picture would be unimaginable.
Now, he can walk back and forth at both ends without having to delay too much time on the road every day, which is the best of both worlds.
When he came back, it was almost dawn, but Cheng Ying still hadn't fallen asleep, still waiting for him silently.
Seeing that he was back, he hurriedly stepped forward to change his clothes and wash him.
"Husband, are you finally done? But there was something difficult about it. ”
"It's just trivial things, it's not worth mentioning, you're tired all the way, right? Why don't you rest early? Lu Nianchou let her serve him, his soft little hands and faint body fragrance made him feel indescribable enjoyment and comfort after the war.
After washing off the dirt on her body, Cheng Ying was already sweating unconsciously, and her clothes were tightly attached to her body.
Lu Nianchou glanced back and forth at her, looked at the bumpy figure, and saw that his heart was a little angry, in case he was a little hoarse and said, "Jingshu, it's time to rest!" ”
"Master ......" Cheng Ying was picked up by him and pressed directly to the bed.
When he lost his mind a little in the impact, Cheng Ying thought in a daze: "How good would it be if Li Mochou and their master and apprentice could never come back?!" ”
