Chapter 540: The Tragedy of Xiangyang (5)

"Where is the letter from Brother He? Did you mention my father-in-law?" Over there, Yang Guo heard what Zhang Junbao said and asked anxiously. After the third Huashan sword, although Ouyang Feng returned to the Western Regions, he corresponded with him from time to time, and after Cheng Ying and Gongsun Lucao gave birth to a son ten years ago, Yang Guo also deliberately took them to the Western Regions to meet Ouyang Feng, and changed the surname of one of the sons to Ouyang. But later, after he returned to the Central Plains from the Western Regions, Ouyang Feng suddenly had no news, if it weren't for the danger of Xiangyang, I was afraid that he would have gone to the Western Regions a long time ago. But even so, Yang Guo has always been extremely concerned about this in his heart, thinking that he would go to the Western Regions after the war is over.

"Senior Ouyang, he ......" Zhang Junbao glanced at Yang Guo, a little slurred. Seeing this, Yang Guo asked again, "What's the matter?" Senior brother, you say!" His voice was hoarse, as if he had thought of something.

Knowing that he couldn't hide it, Zhang Junbao said: "He Daoyou sent news that Ouyang's predecessor had passed away four years ago, and he only heard about it some time ago, so he specially asked someone to send a letter over. He didn't think about saying this now, so as not to disturb Yang Guo's mood, but because Huang Rong asked about Guo Xiang, he still showed his tone, so he had to say it in order to avoid Yang Guo's suspicion.

"Passed away...... He passed away four years ago......" Yang Guo muttered. I don't know what to think in my heart for a while. In fact, a year or two before he came to Xiangyang, Ouyang Feng suddenly cut off the news, and he was also prepared for it in his heart, but now that he really heard it, he still couldn't believe it, and he didn't want to believe it.

Brother He also mentioned Master Hong in the letter, saying that he and Ouyang seniors were buried together. Guo Poyu added on the side. He Zudao's letter mainly said these two things, and Guo Xiang was only mentioned in passing, which was far less detailed than the matter between Hong Qigong and Ouyang Feng. This letter was written by He Zudao the year before last, and it has been more than half a year since it arrived in Xiangyang, and it was transferred to Fang Zhixing. It's only now that it's been heard.

Hearing the news of Hong Qigong's death, Guo Jing and Huang Rong were full of sorrow. Even if they had expected it, the two couldn't help but feel sad. Tears fell. Hong Qigong is jealous and hateful, as long as there is a war in Xiangyang when he is alive. Even if he is not in Xiangyang, he will be nearby to assist. Now that the Xiangyang War has been five years old, there is no news of him, Guo Jing, Huang Rong and many people in the beggar gang have guessed that Hong Qigong has passed away. Thinking that when the master passed away, neither of them was by his side, and he didn't know who collected the body and worshiped him, Guo Jing and Huang Rong blamed themselves in their hearts. Counting the Master of One Lamp who passed away seven years ago and the Master of Ci'en who passed away six years ago, four of the new and old five uniques evaluated by Huashan Sword Debate have already confirmed their death in just a few years. It's really sad in people's hearts.

"Broken, all these years, can you ...... Have you seen your grandfather?" Huang Rong wiped her tears and choked up. Among the old five, Huang Yaoshi was the youngest, but he was not a few years younger than a few people, and now that Hong Qigong, Ouyang Feng, and Master Yideng had passed away, even Master Ci'en, who was more than ten years younger than a few people, how could Huang Rong not worry about her father? Even though Feng Mofeng had sent a message about Huang Yaoshi when Ke Zhenwei passed away four years ago, she still asked.

Guo Poyu was silent when he heard this. After a while, he nodded and said, "Grandpa is just outside Xiangyang, and now he is with Master." I'm here this time. Grandpa gave me a few things for me to give to you?" he said, taking out a map and two books from his bosom and handing them to his parents.

Opening the map, Guo Jing and Huang Rong saw one of the marks at a glance, and immediately understood what Huang Yaoshi meant. And those two books don't need to be opened, Guo Jing and Huang Rong know the contents. This time, the Mongols went south, and the two felt that the Yuan army was strong, and Xiangyang might not be guaranteed. It took several months of hard work to compile two books, one for the "Nine Yin True Scripture" and other martial arts tips. One is the Wu Mu's suicide note obtained from Tiezhangfeng and Guo Jing's perception of marching and fighting over the years. After some planning, the two sent the news of Ke Zhenevil's death on Peach Blossom Island to send two books and letters back. Tophon Mofeng hid in a hidden place on Peach Blossom Island, and carved a map for future generations to use to expel the Tartars. However, a few months ago, Huang Yaoshi suddenly returned to the island, and found two books at the prompt of Feng Mofeng, guessed their intentions, and sent Guo Poyu to send them over.

"Father, mother, grandpa said that you have already saved the will to die, is that true?" Guo Poyu asked with red eyes. When he first got what his grandfather said, he still didn't believe it, but after bringing someone to Xiangyang to ask Master, he finally believed it, and he was immediately sad. With the martial arts of Guo Jing and Huang Rong, as long as they are not surrounded by the Mongolian army, it is extremely difficult to risk their lives, and there are so many soldiers and horses and martial arts masters, and more than half of them are likely to escape. The two of them have been guarding Xiangyang for 30 years, which is longer than Guo Poyu's age, and they have experienced many winds and waves during this period, but they have been safe and sound, because Guo Poyu never thought that they might die, until they heard what Huang Yaoshi and Fang Zhixing said, they faced up to this possibility, and ventured into Xiangyang to inquire about it.

Zhang Junbao already knew about it, and although Yang Guo vaguely guessed it before, he never dared to mention it. At this time, when he heard Guo Poyu's words, he temporarily suppressed his thoughts about his father-in-law, and said: "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, you must not do this, otherwise how will Fu'er explain to me? Besides, Tong'er has not seen you yet, so she must let her meet her grandfather and grandmother!" When Xiangyang was completely surrounded by the Mongol army, Guo Fu heard the news and rushed to help, but she was pregnant at the time, so she was persuaded by Yang Guo and others. But even so, Yang Guo came to Xiangyang at her urging, and led the martial arts people gathered on the periphery of Xiangyang to break in, becoming the last group of outsiders in Xiangyang. Since then, Xiangyang City can no longer be connected to the outside world, even after Guo Fu gave birth to a daughter, he can no longer come in, and even to name his daughter, Yang Guo has passed the message through the white eagle, which has made him feel quite guilty.

"Yes, father, mother, Miaotong's niece is three years old, and she hasn't seen you yet?" and senior sister, she is also pregnant, you must see that you are about to give birth to a grandson!" Guo Poyu said. He and Fang Yuxia have been married for several years, but they have no children, and it was not until a few months ago that it was found out that Fang Yuxia was pregnant, and she did not come this time.

"Xia'er is pregnant, okay! I'll go to see them when I leave Xiangyang...... Just go and see them......" Huang Rong choked up when she heard this. said to Guo Poyu: "You stupid boy, how could your father and mother leave you alone, don't think nonsense in the future!" (To be continued)
