Chapter 14: Huang Rong says goodbye and flowers bloom on the tree Guo Xiang saves his father and turns away from the guests
Last time, it was said that Huang Rong deceived the truth and rescued Guo Jing from Xiangyang City. Then she thought that she had left Xiangyang without telling Master Yideng about it, so she and Guo Xiang rushed back to Xiangyang City to say goodbye to Master Yideng. Unexpectedly, after Huang Rong and her daughter left, Guo Jing and his son met the bandits from Qingfeng Village. They were knocked unconscious by the incense and were captured alive in the village.
Not to mention that Guo Jing and his son were captured alive by Zhang Qing and taken to Qingfeng Village. Huang Rong and her daughter, Huang Rong, rode a fire dragon pony and rushed back to Xiangyang at starry night. When the mother and daughter arrived in Xiangyang, it was already midnight. The suspension bridge in Xiangyang City hung high and the lights on the city towers were bright and dim. The mother and daughter did not want to disturb the defenders and cause unnecessary trouble, so they did not pass through the city gate, but walked around the city wall and ran to the west gate where Master Yideng's master and apprentice temporarily lived.
Guo Xiang put the horse outside the city gate and let it move freely. Then he accompanied his mother, performed Qinggong, and climbed over the wall. It turns out that Xiangyang City experienced such a commotion, everyone was in danger, and the defenders were lax. Even if someone was climbing over the wall to practice martial arts, no one noticed.
The mother and daughter found the small temple where Master Yideng and his disciples lived. It was dimly lit and there was no sound at all. Huang Rong ordered Guo Xiang to keep an eye on the situation, and she wanted to go into the temple to inquire. Guo Xiang said:
"Mom, don't bother me. Xiang'er and his grandfather came here to visit the master before, and they are very familiar with the situation in the temple. Mom will wait here for a while, but let me go and find out first."
Huang Rong thought to herself: How about letting her experience it and see how she adapts to the situation?
After Guo Xiang got her mother's permission, she flew into the small temple. Under the moonlight, she followed the route she originally took with her grandfather and entered the outside of Master Yideng's Zen room. She cried softly:
"Master Yideng——"
Guo Xiang didn't hear any reply. Then he shouted in a slightly higher voice:
"Uncle Yuyin."
Still no one answered. So he moved forward and pushed the door gently. He saw that the door was ajar and opened in response. Just as Guo Xiang was about to light up the fire fold, he felt a strong palm force covering him, making him unable to move, and then someone tapped his acupoints. At this time, the lights in the room turned on, and Master Yideng could be heard saying slowly:
"Disciple, when we visit an old friend, we must not be rude. Why don't you untie Miss Guo's acupoints quickly?"
Sishui Yuyin raised his hand, and Guo Xiang suddenly felt much more relaxed. Guo Xiang hurried forward to pay homage and salute.
As soon as the lights came on, there were voices again, and Huang Rong followed the sound. She didn't know what happened before, so she bowed down to Master Yideng Yingying and said:
"The master is an eminent monk, and I, my humble concubine, and my humble husband have listened to his teachings in person, and are actually the tutors of the foolish couple. My concubine and Xiang'er are here to visit you, so Xiang'er can come first, so as not to disturb the master's spiritual practice, right?" "
Master Yideng bowed his eyebrows and said:
"Donor Huang is a heroic figure among women in the world. She has a lot of unique knowledge passed down from her family. With Hong Qigong's careful teaching, how can I dare to be a teacher? Explaining the "Nine Yin Manual" to a virtuous couple is the fate of the two benefactors. Don't do it. I mention it again to avoid making people laugh."
Huang Rong didn't answer. She pulled Guo Xiang in tears and kowtowed three times respectfully. Master Yideng had no choice but to accept the gift and asked:
"Donor Huang left the city this morning and came here late at night. I think he wanted to say goodbye to the old man, right?"
It turns out that although Master Yideng is cultivating here, he knows everything clearly. I just heard that someone with strong martial arts skills had sneaked into this place, so I decided to wait and see what happens. In order to protect his safety, Yuyin from Sishui blew out the lamp and lurked behind the door. Unexpectedly, he only caught Guo Xiang. Master Yideng had long heard that it was Guo Xiang from the footsteps, so he had already told Sishui Yuyin not to do any harm.
Huang Rong bowed forward and said:
"My humble concubine was trapped by trivial matters. She led her whole family out of the city this morning. Things were in such a hurry that she couldn't say goodbye to the master. So I have a little free time tonight and came back to say goodbye to the master."
Master Yideng said:
"Monks see through the mortal world and it doesn't matter whether they are separated by life or death. Donor Huang traveled hundreds of miles just to say goodbye to me. His determination and sincerity impressed me inexplicably."
Huang Rong saluted and said:
"The master's kindness has not been repaid, and now it is about Xiangyang, so I have to travel thousands of miles. This feeling and kindness will be unforgettable."
Master Yideng ordered Sishui Yuyin to help Huang Rong and her daughter up, smiled slightly and said:
"Is Donor Guo okay now?"
Huang Rong also smiled slightly, knowing that nothing could be hidden from Master Yideng, who had great enlightenment, she pursed her lips and smiled and said:
"Thank you for your concern, Master. I am fine now."
Master Yideng clasped his hands together again and said slowly:
"A loyal minister is seen in times of crisis. Patron Guo serves the country and the people with a heroic spirit, which everyone knows. Unfortunately, there are many disasters. Fortunately, you, the female Zhuge, take care of him, so that he can turn misfortunes into good fortune and turn disasters into good fortune. This is It is a blessing to the people.”
Huang Rong gave another salute and said:
"Master is laughing."
Master Yideng performed a nemesis and said:
"Benefactor Guo is in jail, and the Lord of Huang Island is angry and leaves. I have nothing to do here, and I would like to take my disciples to find the Lord of Huang Island from afar. We'll say goodbye for now, and we'll see you later."
When Huang Rong heard this, she couldn't help but burst into tears. She bowed down and said in a trembling voice:
"Thank you, Master, for taking the trouble."
Master Yideng rolled up his sleeves and helped Huang Rong and her daughter up.
Huang Rong began to be busy rescuing her husband. My father left in anger, not knowing where he ended up. He couldn't find it separately, and he still worried about this matter. I'm just afraid that he is very old and if anything happens to him, he will regret it for the rest of his life. At this time, I couldn't help but be deeply moved when I saw that Master Yideng could be so anxious about people's needs and so enthusiastic about the ancient way. If Master Yideng goes to persuade him, my father will be able to let go. Unexpectedly, after solving two problems in one night, my father would not be in any danger.
Huang Rong and her daughter bid farewell to Master Yideng and his apprentice, and ran out of the city along the same route. After crossing the city wall, there was a whistle, and the fire dragon colt came in response. Guo Xiang jumped up and mounted her horse. Huang Rong suddenly remembered something and hurriedly ordered:
"Xian'er, take the horse and rush to the south gate to wait for me. I'll go do some errands and meet you outside the south gate."
Without waiting for Guo Xiang to agree, he turned around and ran into the city again.
It turned out that this incident made Huang Rong uneasy, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. I thought: I and my husband vowed to defend Xiangyang City to the death, but we were wronged and almost wanted to let my husband die. She then thought of her father leaving, her mourning, and Xiang'er's visit to prison at a young age... One after another, one after another, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and she felt indignant. He also felt that what he did next was not fair and aboveboard enough, and he did not dare to let Guo Xiang know. So Guo Xiang was sent away.
Huang Rong took advantage of the darkness and leaped to Beimen City. Seeing that the defenders of Beimen City were still half asleep, she gently shook a soldier awake and asked quietly:
"Where's General Lee?"
The soldier opened his eyes sleepily and saw the great beauty Huang Rong and Huang Nuxia. He quickly stood up, bowed, pointed to the side and said:
"Hello, Miss Huang, General Li is sleeping in the corner of the city wall."
Huang Rong urged:
"General, please wake up General Li. I have something important to see him."
The soldier held his gun and trotted all the way to the corner of the city wall to report to Li Hu. After a while, Li Hu ran over with his armor patchy and wanted to salute Huang Rong, but she stopped him. Huang Rong said to him:
"General Li, you have seen the fate of my husband Guo Jing. Now the governor of Xiangyang, Lu Wenhuan, only reuses the Northern Army. Your Southern Army is here and cannot be reused. If you are not careful, you will be in danger of beheading. You don't have to fight with him. He has sacrificed his life, the Mongolian soldiers are about to attack Xiangyang, you should run away quickly!"
Li Huzheng didn't know how to escape, but after listening to Huang Rong's words, he got what he wanted and hurriedly agreed. Huang Rong smiled softly, and like a flying butterfly, she flew out of the city and disappeared into the night sky, leaving only Li Hu and the soldier standing there.
Huang Rong and Guo Xiang met outside the south gate. The mother and daughter didn't say much and just rode south to catch up. Even so, it was already early morning by the time the mother and daughter rushed back to the hotel.
Huang Rong rushed to Guo Jing's room first. When she saw the door was open, she couldn't help complaining secretly. She saw no one in the room, the package was missing, and the five thousand taels of gold given by Lu Wenhuan were missing.
Huang Rong was so anxious that she immediately woke up the waiter.
The waiter said sleepily:
"The two of them left just now. Why, they didn't tell you?! You didn't go together either?"
Huang Rong stamped her foot and said to Guo Xiang:
"Your father must have tricked your brother into opening his acupuncture points and then returned to Xiangyang. I was worried just now that your father's acupuncture points would be opened automatically after a certain period of time, so I wanted to come back and re-open them, but I came back too late."
Guo Xiang rolled his eyes and said:
"Mom, don't worry, we haven't seen anyone the whole way. Dad is leaving, and my brother will definitely leave a message for us."
Huang Rong said anxiously:
"You don't know your father's stubborn temper. When he read "Wu Mu's Suicide Note" and read Yue Fei's poem "Man Jiang Hong", Yue Wumu had a profound influence on your father. It can be said that he regarded Yue Fei as his hero all his life. A role model, because influenced by Yue Fei's deeds, his patriotism and love for the people have never changed. He is now known as the "Northern Hero". He would rather die than go back to the south. Although he grew up in Mongolia, Genghis Khan was very fond of him. He has a nurturing grace, and Tuo Lei has a brotherly relationship with him. Although your father values love and righteousness, he is fighting against the Mongolian army so hard now, not to support the corrupt small court of the Southern Song Dynasty, but for the common people of the country. He has witnessed it with his own eyes. Having experienced the brutal massacre of the city by the Mongolian army, he couldn't bear the Southern Song Dynasty land falling into the iron hooves of the Mongolian army, and he couldn't bear the Southern Song Dynasty people living a miserable life of subjugated slaves in the cruel and unkind Mongolian army. I know that his arrogant temper must have gone again Go guard Xiangyang!"
Guo Xiang saw that her mother was in a mess and her speech was incoherent, so she hurriedly comforted her. Suddenly she saw two pieces of broken incense at the door of the room. Her thoughts moved, and she walked into the room and walked around. With a roll of her eyes, she came out and grabbed the waiter's ears, grabbed him into the room, and then nodded him very quickly. Itchy points.
The waiter's acupuncture points were tapped, his body was twisted, his face was ugly, and he looked like he was in agony. Guo Xiang pulled out the dagger from her shoe again and lightly swiped it on the table, causing the corner of the table to fall to the ground.
Guo Xiang asked sharply:
"If you don't tell the truth, I will make you feel even more uncomfortable."
It turned out that Huang Rong was worried about Guo Jing's safety, but there was no sign of Guo Jing, and everything was already in chaos. However, Guo Xiang saw two pieces of incense sticks, and saw the waiter standing nearby with flashing eyes and hesitant words. There must be something hidden, so he pulled him in for questioning.
The waiter in the shop saw that Huang Rong and her daughter were pretty and thought they were ladies and could easily be deceived. Unexpectedly, the delicate Guo Xiang resorted to such methods as soon as she arrived, and she was quite surprised. Unable to withstand the torture, he begged for mercy:
"Xia Xia, spare your life, Xiao Ke is too blind to recognize Taishan."
Then he revealed all the ins and outs of the matter. Then say:
"The heroine wants to protect my safety, but Xiaoke has no choice but to do so and is instigated by others."
Huang Rong wanted to scold Guo Xiang for being reckless at first, but now she was shocked and angry after hearing what happened. She kicked the waiter out of the door with a flying kick. The waiter was frightened and frightened. He knelt down outside the shop door and kowtowed as if pounding garlic.
When Huang Rong saw that her husband had not returned to Xiangyang but was taken away by others, she was not angry but happy and said:
"Xian'er, without further ado, we will go to Qingfeng Village to rescue your father and brother immediately."
Guo Xiang saw that her mother was in agitated mood and had not had a good rest for another night, so she advised:
"Mom, don't worry. You can contact your sister, brother-in-law, and brother Xiaowu here first. I'll go to Qingfeng Village to explore the way first. I'll wait for the troops to gather before attacking the mountain."
Huang Rong thought to herself: My daughter is now older, and she thinks about things more carefully. It doesn't matter, let her go and explore. So he said:
"You have to be careful and don't be reckless."
Guo Xiang agreed and rushed towards Qingfeng Village in the direction pointed by the waiter.
When Guo Xiang found Qingfeng Village, it was already broad daylight, but there was a lot of fog on the mountain, so no one noticed her arrival. Guo Xiang was an expert and brave, so she jumped over the wooden fence and walked in hiding. Fortunately, no one saw her.
Guo Xiang sneaked under the eaves of a low house. There was a smell of oily smoke and onion and garlic coming from inside, which seemed to be the kitchen of a cottage. Guo Xiang heard someone talking while washing vegetables inside. She listened carefully and heard one person say:
"The leader of the third village captured two more people last night, and I heard they got five thousand taels of gold!"
When Guo Xiang heard this, he found out that his father and younger brother were caught here. Another person said:
"You have a good idea. The person who can have five thousand taels of gold must be a big master. There must be troubles ahead. The big village master said that these two people cannot be killed, and they must be treated well and used as hostages."
Guo Xiang listened for a long time but never heard them tell them where they were being held. She had no choice but to try her luck. Just as he was about to leave, he saw four burly men escorting two people around the corner in front of him. The two people being held captive were indeed his father and his younger brother. The father's whole body white cloth had not yet been untied.
Guo Xiang wanted to rush up to rescue them, but saw that there was a group of people behind them carrying swords and guns to protect them, so he had to wait for them to pass and then follow them.
Guo Xiang crouched behind this group of people and saw them escorting her father and younger brother into a hall. Guo Xiang tapped her feet lightly and flew up to the eaves. Guo Xiang heard a rough voice inside:
"Which corrupt official are you subordinates to escort so much gold? What do you want?"
Guo Polu said with neither humility nor arrogance:
"We are ordinary people. You can accept the gold. I can stay in your village as a hostage. My father is injured. Please let my father go!"
Another voice said:
"Tsk, tsk, you are a filial son. We thieves have rules. We must redeem them with silver coins before we can let you go."
At this time, Guo Xiang heard another voice saying:
"Brother, let's give them both something to eat first. They look upright and don't look like bad people. Besides, it's not good for them to starve."
When Guo Xiang heard this voice for the first time, she was shocked. This voice was so familiar! I couldn't help but poke my head in to take a look.
This was an extraordinary sight, and Guo Xiang suddenly remembered someone.
Without any hesitation, Guo Xiang flew down to the ground, turned around and came to the entrance of the village. Then she summoned her inner strength and worshiped the mountain loudly.
It's exactly this: he saved his father alone and was full of courage, but turned against the guest and shocked the scene. I don’t know who Guo Xiang recognized. If you want to know the result, please read the next chapter for the breakdown.
