Hang up from apprentice Li Mochou

Chapter 233 How great would it be to never come back? (Please subscribe)

Guo Jing and Huang Rong led more than 300 heroes from the Dasheng Pass and galloped towards Xiangyang City.

However, by the time they arrived, the battle was over. Everywhere they looked, there were broken limbs and blood everywhere.

"The war is over?!" Huang Rong's pupils shrank suddenly when she saw this scene, and she said in a surprised and uncertain tone: "The imperial court actually won?"

She could judge the outcome of this battle just by looking at the soldiers of the Song Dynasty collecting supplies and disposing of corpses on the battlefield, as well as the flags on the top of Xiangyang City.

Before Guo Jing could speak, everyone else in the world had secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It would be best if they could not risk their lives and die.

"It seems that the Mongols are nothing special. They took the initiative to attack and were defeated so quickly. Looking at the corpses all over the ground, the Mongols' losses this time are probably not small!"

"Hahaha, that's right. We were galloping all the way here. We originally wanted to kill a few Tatars, but we didn't expect them to be so stubborn and they were already taken care of by the imperial officers and soldiers."

"Hmph, don't let me meet those Mongolians again, otherwise, I must teach them a lesson."

Seeing that the war was over, these people in the world couldn't help but start talking in various directions. Their words were full of disdain and contempt for the Mongols, and they suddenly forgot how afraid they were just now.

Guo Jing looked around the battlefield, and then said to Huang Rong: "Rong'er, let's go into the city to have a look and ask what is going on."

"Okay, Brother Jing, I'm curious too!" Huang Rong replied.

The couple rode horses, without hiding their figures, and walked swaggering towards the city gate, with a crowd of people from the world following behind them.

At this time, a battle had just ended. Although it was late at night, the soldiers guarding the city were still very vigilant.

Guo Jing and his party were discovered as soon as they approached. Iron arrows fell immediately. Someone shouted loudly at the top of the city: "Who is he? If he comes one step closer, he will be killed without mercy!"

Guo Jing raised his hand to stop the others. He took a deep breath and his voice was clearly heard on the top of the city. "I am Guo Jing. I heard that Xiangyang City was surrounded by the Mongolian army. In view of the fact that many heroes came to support."

"I wonder what's going on in Xiangyang City now? Has the Mongolian army been repulsed?"

When the soldiers guarding the city heard Guo Jing's name, their expressions suddenly changed, showing 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 an army to personally besiege Xiangyang. If it weren't for Guo Jing, Xiangyang City would have been defeated long ago.

The name of Guo Jing and Guo Daxia is known throughout Xiangyang City, and all the people are grateful to him.

When it comes to reputation, neither the generals who command the troops nor the prefects can compare with respect.

"It turns out that Hero Guo has arrived. You have offended Duo just now. It is your duty. Don't blame me." The soldier guarding the city said: "The Mongolian army was completely defeated not long ago, and the remaining remnants of the army have retreated towards the north. Xiangyang First sister Chen Zhiwei."

When Guo Jing heard this, he couldn't help showing joy on his face, "The Mongolian army was really repelled? This is really a great thing."

Before he finished speaking, some people in the world behind him could not wait any longer and shouted: "Since the Mongolian army has been repulsed, I dare not delay the attack for a moment. Now I am tired and hungry, so I can't wait." Please open the city gate quickly and let me wait in."

"That's right. I've been running all the way here. I'm starving. I'll serve you some good wine and good meat first."

"Yes, open the city gate quickly."

These people were talking all over the place, and their words were arrogant. They usually walked around the rivers and lakes, but they never paid attention to the soldiers guarding the city gate.

In particular, some people are the local emperors, and even court officials must be respectful. When they speak, they are naturally not very polite.

However, when the soldiers guarding the city heard their words, their expressions turned cold.

"Master Guo, I deeply admire you for coming all the way to relieve the siege of Xiangyang. However, it is not up to us to make the decision to open the city gate."

"Excuse me, Master Guo, please wait a moment. I'll go and report it right away."

Those people in the world stopped immediately when they heard this, "Guo Jing, Hero Guo is here, and you still want to report it?"

"Open the city gate right now. I want to see who dares to disagree with letting us in?"

"Hurry up and open the door!"

Seeing these people making trouble, Guo Jing quickly waved his hand and said: "Now that the war is about to end, the city is heavily guarded, and these soldiers are also responsible for their duties."

"It's only natural to go and report. We might as well wait a moment."

With Guo Jing suppressing these people, they no longer dared to act arrogantly. Even if they were a little dissatisfied, they just muttered a few words.

Nowadays, 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 Li Hu's army. The two sides are in a very delicate confrontation situation.

Guo Jing and his party came from the north gate. After the soldiers guarding the city reported it, the news quickly reached Guo Sheng.

"Guo Jing and Huang Rong are here?" Guo Sheng narrowed his eyes, wondering how he didn't know Guo Jing's influence in Xiangyang City.

Once Guo Jing is allowed to enter Xiangyang City, the situation may change again, which is definitely not what he wants to see.

"Guo Jing is very skilled in martial arts, Huang Rong is even more cunning, and he is the leader of the Beggar Clan. This couple is definitely not easy to mess with."

Guo Sheng thought for a while and then made a decision. He ordered the soldiers on the side, "Immediately give me the order to go down. The entire four gates of Xiangyang City, southeast, northwest, will be under martial law for three days. Without my order, no one is allowed to enter or exit at will."

"Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy!"

"Yes, General!" The soldier always only obeyed orders. When he heard the words, he just agreed and went down to convey the order without hesitation.

After the soldier left, Guo Sheng's confidant frowned slightly and said hesitantly: "Sir, did you know the purpose of the order just now?"

"You must know that Guo Jing and Huang Rong have a high prestige in the entire Xiangyang City. Once they are shut out, many people will be dissatisfied."

"If we do this, the happiest person will probably be Li Hu. This person will not hesitate to win over Guo Jing and Huang Rong and use their power to deal with us."

"What's more, the east gate and south gate of Xiangyang City are not in our hands now. If you give orders directly to the four gates, I am afraid that not only will it be useless, but it will also make Li Hu and the others know the news that Guo Jing has arrived faster."

When Guo Sheng heard these words, a cold smile appeared on his face, "The existence of Guo Jing and Huang Rong is a threat to us."

"It would be fine if they were just good at martial arts, but they have an extremely terrifying reputation throughout Xiangyang City, and with the support of the people, it is really terrifying."

"In the past, we were lurking in secret, and the couple naturally did not have much involvement with us, but now we want to take over the entire Xiangyang City. Apart from Li Hu, they are the biggest stumbling block."

A confidant said with some confusion: "Guo Jing, Huang Rong and his wife have no ambitions. They only want to fight the Mongols. This is something everyone knows."

"If we want to deal with the couple, I'm afraid it will be counterproductive and cause resentment among countless people. This may not be worth the gain!" Guo Sheng just shook his head slightly when he heard this, and thought to himself: "I treat the people under my command for the sake of the superior, but it's not worth it!" No, it depends on whether you are loyal, but whether you have the ability to threaten your position."

"Therefore, the higher you are in a high position, the more you have to be cautious and walk on thin ice. You must not make mistakes. Once the superiors are wary, it will be a fatal disaster."

"Now that Xiangyang City has defeated the Mongolian army, the only ones who can pose a threat to us are Li Hu and Guo Jing."

"Although Li Hu has a large army, he is a mediocre person and has nothing to worry about."

"Guo Jing seems to have no ambitions, but he is very popular among the people in Xiangyang City. His wife Huang Rong is even more resourceful and she is the leader of the Beggar Clan."

"The disciples of the Beggar Clan are spread all over the world, and their information is even better than that of our Ming Cult."

"The situations of the leader and Guo Jing are actually very similar to a certain extent."

His eyes were dark, "If we want to take the entire Xiangyang City into our hands, Guo Jing and Huang Rong will be a stumbling block that they have to face."

"If you let the leader do this personally, it will only ruin your reputation."

"If I were to take the blame, I might be criticized by thousands of people and reviled by thousands of people, but it would protect the reputation of the leader."

"I have severely offended the leader because of the affair with Fairy Chi Lian. Now that the leader has obtained Xiangyang, he has become like a hidden dragon rising out of the abyss."

"If you still can't seize the opportunity and gain a firm foothold next to the leader, I'm afraid it will be difficult if you want to get ahead in the future."

Guo Sheng had planned all of this very clearly, and the Xiangyang City branch helm naturally had very detailed information about Guo Jing, a man of great influence in Xiangyang.

Based on his understanding of Guo Jing's character, it would not be very troublesome to deal with this person.

Especially since Guo Jing is preparing for the Heroes Conference next, this is simply the best time.

As for Li Hu, if he gets involved with Guo Jing...

Ah!
His eyes were flashing with cold murderous intent, and he was silently thinking about what to do next.

Guo Jing and his party had no idea that the situation in Xiangyang City had already undergone earth-shaking changes.

They waited for half an hour, and they got a little impatient. Only then did a soldier from the top of the city shout loudly: "I'm sorry, Sir Guo. The general has given an order. Now the war is over. The city of Xiangyang will be under martial law for three days." , no one is allowed in or out.”

"Insolent, we came all the way to relieve the siege of Xiangyang. Now that we are trapped and out of horses, we are being shut out and sleeping in the wilderness. What's the point of this?"

Someone got angry on the spot and yelled: "Who is your general? Let him come out. I want to see what his intentions are?!"

"Let him out, let him out!"

Everyone was already impatient with waiting, and now they couldn't hold back any more, and started shouting curses at the top of the city.

Even Huang Rong's face looked a little unsightly. It would be fine if it was someone else. Even their husband and wife were turned away, which would be a bit unreasonable.

After all, Guo Jingzhai was kind-hearted. Although he was a little surprised, he didn't get angry like others. He just opened his mouth to stop everyone's yelling and scolding.

"There has just been a tragic battle, and the city gates are heavily guarded. This is also a courtesy." Guo Jing was not angry, but laughed and said: "With such strict military orders, it can be seen that Xiangyang City is now impregnable. On the contrary, I don’t have to worry about it, isn’t that a good thing?”

"We are rushing here regardless of our own lives. It is Guo's greatest wish to see Xiangyang City safe and sound."

"We are all children of the rivers and lakes. When traveling in the rivers and lakes, sleeping in the wilderness is just an ordinary thing."

"I, Guo, am lucky enough to sleep in the wilderness with all of you. It is a blessing."

He was so heroic and open-minded that even the soldiers on the city walls secretly admired him when they heard it.

Guo Jing raised his head and shouted to the soldiers on the top of the city: "Military Lord on the city, we are going to camp in the wilderness outside the city now, so please prepare some dry food and wine."

"Don't worry, I, Guo Jing, will give you enough money."

"Today Xiangyang City is safe and sound. I feel happy. I want to have a drink with all my brothers outside this wilderness without getting drunk."

The soldier guarding the city looked a little hot, as if he had become a treacherous villain at this moment. When he heard this, he shouted at the top of his voice, "Master Guo, what are you talking about? Just wait, I will go there right away." Prepare wine.”

Guo Jing clasped his hands and laughed loudly: "Thank you very much."

Lu Nianchou had received the news immediately about what happened outside the city, but he did not give instructions or issue any orders.

Guo Shenglai was responsible for everything. He just stood behind and watched silently.

He had traveled thousands of miles from Jiaxing and experienced successive wars. Even though he had strong martial arts skills and magical powers to protect his body, his soul could not help but feel a little tired.

When everything was done, he returned to the yard that had been prepared for Cheng Ying.

This courtyard and Li Mochou's courtyard are adjacent to each other, but they are separated by a wall. There is only a small door that allows people to walk back and forth between the two courtyards.

This was what Lu Nianchou had asked Guo Sheng to prepare in advance. If Li Mochou and Cheng Ying really lived together, such a scene would be unimaginable.

Now with this method, he can travel back and forth between the two ends without spending too much time on the journey every day. It can be regarded as the best of both worlds.

When he came back, it was almost dawn, but Cheng Ying still didn't fall asleep and was still waiting for him silently.

Seeing that he was back, I quickly stepped forward to change his clothes and wash him.

"Husband, are you finally done? Have you ever had anything difficult?"

"They are just trivial things, not worth mentioning. Are you tired from running all the way? Why don't you rest early!" Lu Nianchou let her serve him, with her soft little hands and faint body fragrance, It made him feel indescribable enjoyment and comfort after the battle.

After washing away the dirt on her body, Cheng Ying was already sweating unknowingly, and her clothes clung to her body tightly.

Lu Nianchou glanced back and forth on her body, looking at the curvy figure, and felt a little angry when he saw it. Wan Yi said hoarsely: "Jingshu, it's time to rest!"

"Master..." Cheng Ying was picked up by him and pressed directly onto the bed.

When she was a little distracted by the impact, Cheng Ying thought in a daze: "How great would it be if Li Mochou and her master and apprentice could never come back?!"
