Chapter 90: Maple Grove Night Talk
Soon after the three of them sat down, the shopkeeper brought the meal. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The info dishes are also hearty, with chicken and a large pot of white wine. Guo Fu drank a lot of wine, drank bowl after bowl, and Guo Poyu and Guo Xiang also accompanied her to drink some.
Everyone sat around the fire, listening to the wind outside the door, and they didn't feel sleepy for a while.
A man with a Shanxi accent said: "This weather is really torturous, it thaws for a while, freezes for a while, God really doesn't give people a good life." A short man with a Hubei accent said: "Don't complain, we have a hot fire here, and we have a stable meal to eat, what are you fighting about? As long as you have lived in our siege of Xiangyang, the bitter part of the world has become a comfortable nest." ”
Guo Fu heard the words "Xiangyang Siege" and glanced at the younger siblings.
A guest with a Cantonese accent asked, "May I ask my brother, what is the siege of Xiangyang." But how did it happen?" The Hubei guest said: "You have already heard of the cruelty of the Mongolian Tartars, so there is no need to say more. That year, the Mongolian army of more than 100,000 attacked Xiangyang, and the defenders commanded Lord Lu was a mediocre and incompetent person, fortunately Guo Daxia and his wife fought hard to resist the enemy...... "Guo Fu heard the name of "Guo Daxia and his wife", and his expression moved again. Listening to the Hubei guest, he continued: "The hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Xiangyang City are also trying their best to defend the city, and none of them flinched back. Like the villain, who is just a small merchant with a cart, he also moves earth and stones, and exerts all his strength to help defend the city. The big arrow scar on my face was shot at the Mongol Tartars. Everyone looked at his face and saw that there was indeed an arrow wound the size of a teacup under his left eye, and they couldn't help but be in awe.
The night was getting darker, but the snow was getting heavier outside. The sound of the wind roared like a knife outside the inn, making people feel cold when they listened to it.
There are still a lot of people in the inn, just like when Lin Langzhao came here a few years ago, because the upstairs rooms are full, so many people have to rest in this lobby for a night, and the shopkeeper is also a good person. So the slightly cold inn finally became much warmer, although the smell of smoke was a little heavy, but there was such a fire on such a cold night, and a little smoke was a little closer to Lin Langzhao.
"It seems that I haven't seen such a fire since I went to college!" Lin Langzhao was a little distracted, but then he shook his head again, silently mocking himself in his heart that it was difficult to be homesick.
There are a lot of people sitting in the lobby, and no one can sleep in such a night, so they chat about their respective topics in twos and threes, even if the people on the other side don't know each other, but the rivers and lakes are so big, seeing each other is fate, and what can't be talked about together. However, Lin Langzhao still sat silently, taking a sip of meat and wine, with a relaxed smile on his face, listening to the problems discussed by the people around him.
happened to hear the voice of a man with a Shanxi accent in his ears, Lin Langzhao immediately listened to it with interest, and immediately listened to the man with a Shanxi accent and said: "This weather is really torturous, it will thaw for a while, and it will freeze for a while, God really doesn't give people a good life." ”
Lin Langzhao nodded silently, but heard a man next to him say: "Don't complain, we have a hot fire here, and we have a stable meal to eat, what are you fighting about? As long as you have lived in our siege of Xiangyang, the most bitter place in the world has become a comfortable nest." ”
"Xiangyang, this man is from Xiangyang?" Lin Langzhao was a little curious in his heart, and immediately continued to listen.
And the people here were obviously also curious about Xiangyang, and after listening to the man's words, there were many people looking at the place where the man was at the same time, and obviously they all had to listen to the following.
Not far away, someone immediately asked: "May I ask my brother, that Xiangyang is under siege." But how did it happen?" The Hubei guest said: "You have already heard of the cruelty of the Mongolian Tartars, so there is no need to say more. That year, the Mongolian army of more than 100,000 attacked Xiangyang, and the defenders commanded Master Lu was a mediocre and incompetent person, but fortunately Guo Daxia and his wife fought hard against the enemy......"
When Lin Langzhao heard that he said Guo Jing and his wife, he immediately smiled in his heart: "The silly boy and the unruly girl of the past have now become heroes praised by everyone, and it seems that I didn't come to this world for nothing." ”
"To say that the situation in Xiangyang City, although it is difficult now, but there are Guo Daxia and his wife stationed in Xiangyang, this day is peaceful, and there is a sword monarch in Xiangyang to establish Lin Lang Pavilion, with how many young talents in the pavilion to assist Guo Daxia and his wife, the Mongolian army has attacked Xiangyang many times, all of which were expected by them in advance. Therefore, when it comes to confidence in resisting the Mongols, the people of Xiangyang are naturally far superior to others, like the villain is just a small trader with a cart, who also moves soil and stones, and exerts all his strength to help defend the city. The big arrow scar on my face was shot at the Mongol Tartars. Everyone looked at his face and saw that there was indeed an arrow wound the size of a teacup under his left eye, and they couldn't help but be in awe.
Someone immediately exclaimed: "I have a lot of people in the Great Song Dynasty, if everyone is like a brother, no matter how fierce the Mongolian Tartars are, they will not be able to occupy my country." ”
The man who had just spoken nodded and said, "Yes, you see that the Mongolian army has been attacking Xiangyang for more than ten years, but it has never been able to defeat it, but it is in other places." I heard that dozens of countries outside the city of the Western Regions have been wiped out by the Mongols, and our Xiangyang has always stood like a mountain. Kublai Khan, the fourth prince of Mongolia, came to the city to supervise the battle, but he couldn't help us Xiangyang people. He said with a smug look.
"If you don't fight with the Tartars, you won't die. The Mongol Tatars could not attack Xiangyang, so they captured the Han people outside the city, tied them under the city and beheaded them one by one, and tied the children of four or five, six or seven years old with ropes, let the horses pull them, drag them under the city and run around the city, less than half a circle, and the children have long been out of breath. We heard the cries of the children in the city, and it was like a knife cutting our hearts. The Tartar can scare us into surrender by resorting to such brutal means, but the more vicious he is, the more we will defend it. That year, the grain in Xiangyang City was eaten up, and the water was gone, and even the bark and sewage were eaten and drunk later, but the Tartars never came in. Later, the Tartars had no choice but to retreat. The Cantonese said: "In the past ten years, if it weren't for Xiangyang's unyielding, half of the Great Song Dynasty would have been gone." ”
Everyone asked about the situation of Xiangyang's defense of the city, and the man said it eloquently, praising Guo Jing and Huang Rong as if they were gods, and even praising the people in Lin Lang Pavilion as if they were living Zhuge Wuhou, and everyone couldn't help but praise them endlessly, but Lin Langzhao on the side laughed.
However, it didn't take long for this laughter to hear a familiar voice coming from the stairs: "Guo Daxia and his wife are naturally heroes, and the young talents in Lin Lang Pavilion are naturally extraordinary, but don't forget, no matter how powerful they are, they are all taught by the predecessors of the Sword Monarch!"
"Poof!"
Lin Langzhao almost squirted out a mouthful of wine, who else could say this but Guo Xiang's girl, so he immediately raised his head and looked in the direction of the stairs, and sure enough, he saw Guo Xiang and the three of them walking down. And Guo Xiang, who was on the stairs, naturally wanted to look at Lin Langzhao's location, and a trace of shock finally flashed in his originally calm eyes, and then he couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
"Master, why are you here!" (To be continued.) )
