Chapter Twenty-Eight: Disciples of Huashan

Knowing the possible movement of the mountain peak, Guo Xiang pulled Wen Yuan and went out of the city directly. Originally, Wen Yuan planned to rest in Lin'an City for one night before setting off, but Guo Xiang couldn't survive and had to follow out of the city.

Guo Xiang was afraid that Shanfeng would really become a monk in case he really became a monk, so he was in a hurry.

The two of them went all the way north, starting from Lin'an and going straight to Henan. Although Guo Xiang felt that Shanfeng should not be a monk, he would have to pass through Henan to go to Huashan, so he was going to go to Shaolin Temple first.

Half a month later, the two of them just entered the territory of Henan Province and found that a large number of ordinary people were dragging their families and families, pulling large carts and small carts to migrate to the south.

"What's going on?" Guo Xiang looked at the long row of mobile troops that filled the official road, a little confused.

Wen Yuan felt that something must have happened, so he grabbed a villager and asked what was going on.

The villager saw that Wen Yuan and Guo Xiang were both young and looked like dust, and persuaded: "If you want to go north, don't go." Now that the city of Luoyang has been closed, you can't get in if you go, besides, the Mongols should be almost there, so you should run quickly. ”

The Mongols?Guo Xiang and Wen Yuan's faces changed drastically, they had only been out of Lin'an City for half a month, and they had no idea the news of the Mongols' attack on the Great Song Dynasty.

When they came out of Anseong, it was still the same scene of singing and dancing, and there was no sign of war at all.

"It's impossible, no matter how powerful the Mongols are, they can't hit Henan so quickly. Besides, there are not more generals guarding the pass! How could the Mongols enter the pass? ”

The villager didn't expect that the two children in front of him still knew about the border, and sighed and said: "You two little dolls don't know, General Meng Hui of Yan'an is seriously ill, and Mongolia sent troops to attack Lanzhou at the same time, the situation is too urgent, so I have to send General Yu Jie's reinforcements." Who knows, the Mongols also seem to know the news, General Yu Jie, just transferred away, sent a large army to attack Taiyuan, Zhending, and Hejian at the same time. As we left, we heard that Taiyuan had been conquered. ”

"Can't you fight back?" Guo Xiang asked innocently, she didn't understand these soldiers' affairs.

"If Taiyuan is lost, it is basically impossible. Wen Yuan directly denied Guo Xiang's idea, after all, he was a soldier, and he usually paid attention to these, and his father also taught him some knowledge related to the art of war.

"Taiyuan is lost, the middle front is gone, don't say that Hejian is really hard to defend, Lanzhou and Yan'an will definitely not defend. To retreat to Jingzhao and Henan, they fought by the Yellow River and Weishui. The gate of Luoyang City was closed, and it seems that this is how the imperial court decided. ”

When the villager heard Wen Yuan's words, he sighed in his heart, but he didn't expect the guy in front of him to know a lot.

Hebei West Road, Hebei East Road and Hedong Road have been lost one after another since ancient times. After all, before the Mongols, there were still Jin people, and the wars of the past few hundred years, the development of these places and there, are just ruined lands.

"Damn. Wen Yuan stomped his feet angrily, his father's place was retired from the army and lived in seclusion in Sanglin Village precisely because his left hand was cut off by the Mongols. Wen Yuan has hated the Mongols since he was a child, and like Shanfeng, he regards General Fei as his absolute idol.

"Wait, uncle, do you know what the situation of the Shaolin Temple is now?" Guo Xiang suddenly thought that if the Mongols had already reached Henan, then the Shaolin Temple would be in the Shaolin Mountain, and I don't know if there would be danger.

If the mountain peak is really in Shaolin, then you should find him early and take the mountain peak with you.

"I don't know, alas. However, when the Jin people came in before, they had eaten at the Shaolin Temple, and the Mongolians probably would be afraid of it. ”

"It's hard to say, it's not like you don't know what the Shaolin Temple is like now. A villager passing by heard it with a look of disdain.

"Yes, the current Shaolin is not the same as the old Shaolin. The villager shook his head, thinking of the current situation of the Shaolin Temple, and then thinking about the prestige of the Shaolin Temple when he was young, a little sour.

"I said you two should hurry up and go, in case you are met by the Mongols, it will not be good. The villagers kindly reminded that because Guo Xiang was too conspicuous and dangerous. After the Mongols entered the customs, they had already killed many women from the Central Plains, and it was impossible to count.

"Thank you!" Guo Xiang thanked the villagers for their kind reminders, and pulled Wen Yuan to run towards Shaomu Mountain.

"Hey, hey, you're going wrong......" The villagers shouted as they watched Guo Xiang and the two run in the opposite direction, but Guo Xiang and the two had no intention of turning back.

"I hope God bless these two children. "The kind villagers prayed to God. "There are too few kids like them. ”

The villagers on the side nodded in agreement, now that the Mongols have come in, how many people in the south know? Even if they do, what can they do? Aren't they themselves just running to the south? They want to go to the south to seek a stable life.

Indeed, if Wen Yuan hadn't been paying attention to these things, he wouldn't have known so much detail. Wen Yuan usually goes to the village post station to listen to the sights and stories of passing by business travelers, and rarely mentions the news of the war.

Now that Luoyang has been closed down, Guo Xiang and the two went straight to Shaolin. Wen Yuan speculated that since the city was closed, it means that the Mongols were likely to have occupied Hejian and other places.

When they came, there was no news of the Mongols in Yingtian City, so the Mongols must have recently attacked the vicinity of Henan.

In fact, just as Wen Yuan speculated, the Mongols did not choose to fight on multiple fronts this time, and after breaking through Taiyuan, they went directly south along the Hedong Road, and just hit Huaiqing yesterday, and used Huaiqing as a front-line stronghold to prepare to attack Luoyang.

Wen Yuan felt that the Mongols should not take Luoyang so quickly. Because, Luoyang has Kaifeng Zhengzhou support. As for opening the seal, it should be even more impossible, because there is still a day to open the seal. In short, for the time being, Shaolin should theoretically be safe.

After Guo Xiang and Wen Yuan entered Songshan, one of the five mountains, because the mountain road was difficult to walk, they finally arrived near Shaomu Mountain after a day.

As soon as they arrived at the bottom of the mountain, the two found a lot of dead bodies on the ground, including Mongolians and Central Plains people dressed as martial arts people.

"I didn't expect the Mongols to come here directly?" Wen Yuan didn't expect that there were Mongols here, so he and Guo Xiang were in a hurry and walked faster.

The further they went, the more corpses there were on the ground, and they could already hear the sound of men and horses slashing. A quarter of an hour later, the two noticed two pairs of centaurs fighting each other in front of them.

The Mongols probably had a small squad that was fighting with a group of uniforms at this time.

"What's the matter with you two?" Guo Xiang and Wen Yuan were about to bypass when a scolding came. Before the two of them could come to their senses, a young man in a cyan robe had already arrived beside them. "It's dangerous here, get out of the way. ”

When the two looked back, they saw that it was a young man in his early twenties, with long eyebrows and clear eyes, holding a long sword in his hand, and a jade pendant hanging from his waist, on which a Chinese character was engraved.

"Are you from the Huashan faction?" Guo Xiang guessed as he looked at the jade pendant.

The young man's name is Li Lu, he is the thirty-eighth generation disciple of the Huashan faction, and he is responsible for guarding the surroundings, and it is strange to see Guo Xiang and the two of them still appear here at this time.

"Yes, our Huashan faction is here to aid Shaolin. Li Lu didn't expect Guo Xiang to be so beautiful, and his tone became much gentler.

"Is there something going on up there?" I was wondering what the situation was above Shaolin, but I didn't expect to come to an explanation, Guo Xiang hurriedly asked.

"The Mongols attacked suddenly, and yesterday they began to besiege the city of Luoyang. I don't know why, yesterday the Mongols began to surround Shaomur Mountain, as if to disadvantage Shaolin. Guo Juxia learned of this early and sent letters to the major leaders overnight to ask for help for Shaolin. We, Huashan, have just arrived today and are fighting against the Mongols. "Li Lu is also the first time to go down the mountain, I have long heard that the Mongols are fierce and really fight with the Mongols, and I found that this is indeed the case.

Since the arrival of the Huashan faction in the morning, they have been trying to attack the mountain with other sects, but the Mongols occupy the foot of Shaomu Mountain, because the terrain is open, and the major sects cannot break through it for a while.

Wen Yuan looked at Li Lu's neat appearance in a long shirt and holding a long sword, and remembered that his father had said to him how famous and famous people were respected, and he longed for it for a while.

"If only I could join the Huashan faction. Wen Yuan thought to himself, and found that there were people from other sects not far away who were fighting the Mongols in a team.

Wearing red clothes was obviously a member of the Kongtong faction, because everyone was covered in blood, and it was obviously the blood that rushed out after they injured themselves with seven wounds. The blue clothes are Hengshan faction, each of them is a bald nun with a beautiful appearance, and she is very recognizable.

There are other colors of clothes, and it seems that there are quite a lot of sects that come to support Shaolin.

Also, Shaolin is a big martial arts faction after all, although it was announced to the public more than ten years ago that it would not ask about martial arts, but one side is in trouble and all sides support it, which is where the righteousness between the Central Plains sects lies.

"Get out of here, Mongol reinforcements could arrive at any moment, this is not a place for civilians like you. In Li Lu's eyes, people like Guo Xiang and Wen Yuan who don't know martial arts are still the best to catch up.

"Is there a person in your Huashan faction named Zhang Shanfeng?" Guo Xiang took out a portrait from his arms and showed it to Li Lu.

Li Lu looked at it and shook his head. The Huashan faction is one of the five major sects, and there are so many of them. The sect is divided into the Sword Sect and the Qi Sect, so even the disciples of the Huashan Sect may not know all the same sects.

"Is he the Qi Sect or our Sword Sect?" Li Lu asked, he thought about it, he had seen most of the Sword Sect's fellow sects, so it might be someone from the Qi Sect.

Where did Guo Xiang know that Huashan still has the distinction between Sword Sect and Qi Sect, and said: "His name is Shanfeng, he is stupid, he always likes to tell some heroic stories to others, and he always clamos to be a big hero." ”

When Li Lu heard this, he couldn't remember that there was such a person. "We don't have this person in the Sword Sect. "There are so many people who want to be big heroes, and it's clear where they can tell.

Guo Xiang looked at Li Lu's expression, pulled Li Lu's sleeve and said, "Then he is from the Qi Sect, why don't you take us with you, we are his friends who came to find him." ”

Li Lu looked at Guo Xiang's pleading expression, the big eyes that were full of water, and the cute round face. My heart softened, and I thought that since they were friends of the same family, it would not be good to drive them away.

He looked at Guo Xiang and couldn't help but want to behave, the long sword was horizontal on his chest, and said: "Okay, you have to follow me closely, I will take you to the master to ask, he should be with Uncle Shi, Uncle Shi is in charge of the Qi Sect, and he must know your friends." ”

Guo Xiang nodded again and again, it is best for someone to protect himself. Wen Yuan was angry in his heart, and looked at Li Lu's angry appearance, a little jealous.
