In February, the spring is cold, and inside and outside Xiangyang, there is a breath of slaughter. At the head of the city, a man in armor watched the Mongol army slowly retreat, and finally turned his head. This person has gray temples and a withered description, and a pair of eyes, but they are majestic and deep, staring at the scene in the city.

The fighting stopped, and the dead and wounded were constantly being carried down from the city, but there was hardly anyone crying or groaning. Even if someone makes a sound in pain, the people around them don't seem to be aware of it.

Seeing that everyone's expressions were numb, a burst of anger surged in the man's heart, but he turned into a sigh and buried it in his heart: "Five years...... Xiangyang City has been besieged for five and a half years, and Guo is ashamed of everyone!" Thinking of the five years of siege of Xiangyang City, the brothers who died in battle, died of illness, and starved to death over the years, although his face did not move, his heart was full of sorrow. Since the Mongols went south again in August of the third year of Xianchun, it has been nine years of Xianchun now, and for more than five years, Xiangyang City has been under the siege of the Mongol army, and the big battles and small battles have continued hundreds of times, and there has never been a moment of stopping. Anyone who has been in this kind of atmosphere will probably be like this!

This person is Guo Jing, since the Mongols besieged Xiangyang again, he has been leading the Xiangyang soldiers and horses to fight, for more than five years, there has never been a moment. Not only has he taken the lead many times, but he even has only a handful of time to rest, so even if he is a top master, he is described as withered. If it weren't for his son-in-law Yang Guo taking out some pills to replenish his essence from time to time and forcing him to take them, I am afraid that he would not even have the energy he has now.

"Wow!nWow!Wow......" Just thinking about it, Guo Jing suddenly heard a rush of footsteps, and couldn't help but turn his head to look. I saw a man with the same pale face striding up to the city wall and saying in a loud voice, "Father-in-law." Gang Master Lu can't do it, my mother-in-law told you to go back quickly!"

"Brother Lu is no good? Let's go!" Hearing this, Guo Jing hurriedly arranged the city defense. Ignoring anything else, he dragged the visitor down the city wall and strode back to his house.

This person is Yang Guo, three years ago, he led a group of martial arts people to break into Xiangyang during the war between the Mongolian Navy Division and the Great Song Dynasty Navy Division, and became the last group of outsiders to enter Xiangyang. Since then, the city of Xiangyang has been surrounded by soldiers and horses sent by the Mongols, and there is no longer a single gap, not only is it difficult for outsiders to enter. Even the pair of white eagles raised by Guo Jing can hardly fly out, and it can be said that the birds are extinct. In this situation of no external reinforcements and almost no news, Xiangyang City can hold out for another three years, which is really amazing.

Back in the mansion, Guo Jing saw Huang Rong, Zhu Ziliu, Shi Shugang and some beggars from a distance, surrounding Lu Youjiao, with a sad expression. There are even some people who are almost crying. Lu Youjiao served as the leader of the beggar gang for 30 years. Although he did not have any outstanding merits, he was very loved by the disciples of the Beggar Gang, and now seeing that he is about to die, how can everyone not be sad!

My heart was slightly sour. Guo Jing separated the crowd, came to Lu You's feet, leaned over and said, "Brother Lu...... Brother Lu ...... couldn't help but call. Everyone around knew that Lu Youjiao was holding a breath. is to wait for Guo Jing to come back, and stop moving. So as not to disturb the two. In the dilapidated courtyard, there was silence for a while. Only Guo Jing's low call echoed in everyone's ears.

After a few calls, Lu You's eyelids moved slightly, and he finally had a reaction. But he ran out of oil, but he couldn't open his eyes. Seeing this, Yang Guo held back the sourness in his heart, took out a pill from his arms, melted it with water, and poured it into Lu You's mouth. This is the elixir refined by his master, and every once in a while a pair of white eagles flying out of the city will be dropped in the air that the Mongols cannot shoot, which can be said to be the most important foreign material in Xiangyang City, and it is extremely precious. Lu Youjiao had been stubbornly refusing to use it on himself before, but now he finally used it.

Stimulated by the power of the medicine, Lu Youjiao finally opened his eyes and recognized the person in front of him. Seeing Guo Jing, his throat moved slightly, and he said intermittently: "Guo ...... Outer part...... Guo Da...... The voice of the big ...... comes and goes, and it is impossible to say it completely.

Seeing this, Guo Jing grabbed Lu Youjiao's wrist and crossed in with a stream of true qi. The healing method of the Yin and Yang Transformation Technique has long been passed down by Yang Guo, and Guo Jing can naturally use it.

Lu Youjiao was supplemented by this, and his voice finally became coherent: "Guo ...... Hero, I'll go...... After that, the beggars will ...... I entrusted it to you, I hope you can bring it...... They...... Get out. After speaking, he gasped continuously, his chest continued to rise and fall, and it seemed that all his energy was consumed in these few words.

Seeing that he was so difficult, Yang Guo took his index finger and thumb into a "crane beak strength" momentum, and pointed the dragon leap on the tip of Lu You's feet and ears with the tip of his index finger, and the internal force swung slightly. This "Crane Beak Strength Point Dragon Leap Trick" is a healing method that his master Fang Zhixing and junior brother Zhang Junbao have explored over the years, saving countless people in the city. With Yang Guo's skill at this time, even the newly broken person can also return his soul for a while. The medicinal power in Lu You's foot has not completely dissipated, and he finally calmed down after being stimulated.

"Brother Lu, don't worry, Xiangyang City will definitely be able to hold it!" Holding back the grief in his heart, Guo Jing said. Lu Youjiao's illness has been around for a long time, and everyone knows the reason, in addition to his age, it is because he insists on eating and living with the beggar disciples, and refuses to take the pills thrown down by the white eagle. Although the people no longer let him go to the battlefield, after a long period of hard work, he finally ran out of oil and could not be recovered.

Hearing Guo Jing's reply, Lu Youjiao slowly shook his head and said, "Guard...... I can't hold it, I want to ...... Breakout, can't ...... Dead ......" almost word for word, spit out.

These remarks were extremely pessimistic, and if they had been in the past, they would have been said to have disturbed the morale of the army. However, when everyone around heard this, they did not react. I haven't seen reinforcements for three years, and the grain and grass in the city have been exhausted, if it weren't for the little insistence in everyone's hearts, I'm afraid that Xiangyang City would have been unable to hold it for a long time.

Before Guo Jing could justify, Lu Youjiao slowly turned his head, his eyes widened, and he said to Shi Shugang: "Don't go out...... Xiangyang ...... Cannot...... Succession...... Help ......" became lower and lower, and finally became inaudible.

"Helper!", "Brother Lu!", "Uncle Lu!", ...... Seeing this, the surrounding people couldn't help but cry out in a burst of sorrow, and Yang Guo even used his crane beak strength to hurry his dragon leap trick. However, Lu Youjiao's body did not react at all, and everyone knew that he had really passed away, and they were all sad.

On February 24, the ninth year of Xianchun, Lu Youjiao, the twentieth generation leader of the beggar gang, died in Xiangyang. (To be continued......)
