From top to bottom, everyone in the Song Dynasty was grateful for Tan Yuewen and Yang Guo's loyalty and patriotism, but what they didn't know was that one of the two people they were grateful for was forced, and Tan Yuewen's family, wife, children, and children were all in Yang Guo's hands, plus he He was threatened by the Seven-Day Heart-Breaking Pill every day, so he had no choice but to stay in Nanyang to stabilize his military morale.
Not to mention the other Yang Guo, he never thought about the four words of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism from beginning to end. He was only loyal to himself.
…
The imperial edict from the Lin'an court was rushed to Nanyang the next day, and the places they passed by also moved upon hearing the news. However, their movement was not to rush to Nanyang's aid, but to step up defenses along the way.
And Xiangyang, Hubei Province is the first to be affected after Nanyang.
No one believed that a mere Nanyang city could stop the Mongols, so Xiangyang was the top priority in resisting the Mongols' invasion of the Song Dynasty.
…
Inside Xiangyang City.
"Lord Zhizhou, I wonder why you asked me to come here today?"
On this day, Nie Qu, the magistrate of Xiangyang, took the time to gather together all the prominent people in Xiangyang City.
The first person to speak was Huang Rong. She had just given birth to a pair of children not long ago. Although she was already in her thirties and a mother of three children, she was still recovering well during the confinement period. At this moment, She was still very beautiful, but she was a little less agile than before. Sitting next to Huang Rong were Guo Jing and a few other people who could barely make it to the stage.
Nie Qu said: "The Mongols are going to attack the Song Dynasty."
"Soldiers and horses are now gathering in Bianliang. It won't be long before the war begins."
War is never a joke. After all, every time a war starts, countless lives will be involved.
After Huang Rong heard this, she asked concisely and concisely: "Master Zhizhou, although we are from the Jianghu, we are still willing to contribute to the Song Dynasty. If you have any orders, just tell us directly."
Nie Qu sighed: "For military matters, I and many generals have already made countless plans. We don't need to take the initiative to attack the Mongols. Therefore, we only need to defend the city."
"The fundamental reason why I asked you to come here this time is because of the news I got."
"Two imperial edicts came from Xiangyang last night, one was for me, and the other was for Nanyang, but they were issued openly to inform the world."
"There is nothing much to say about this order given to me. It is nothing more than strengthening the city defense and other things."
"It's just that the imperial edict issued from Nanyang made me a little emotional."
"Do you still remember what I did at your martial arts conference a few months ago?"
Huang Rongyan said: "Your Excellency, are you talking about rescuing Jinlun Dharma King?"
Nie Qu nodded: "That's the thing, but what I want to talk about is not Jinlun Dharma King. If I remember correctly, at the martial arts conference, the young knight who wanted Jinlun Dharma King's life was named My name is Yang Guo, right?"
Huang Rong, Guo Jing, and several other people in the martial arts world were startled after hearing this name.
Guo Jing couldn't help but said, "Sir, Guo'er is my foster brother's child. I wonder what he has done?".
Nie Qu smiled and said: "Master Guo is overly worried, but what Young Master Yang did is really beyond my expectation."
"The imperial edict sent to Nanyang last night was mainly about his canonization by His Majesty."
"It is said that Yang Shaoxia led hundreds of gangs and planned to defend Nanyang."
"The governor of Nanyang was grateful for his loyalty and bravery, so he requested an imperial edict from your majesty and named him the envoy of Nanyang Four Walls Defense."
"At a young age, he has great cultivation, but when the country is ruined and the family is in ruins, he is unwilling to take care of himself."
"A person like him is simply a role model for you. We are all in the world. I hope you will not fall behind others. When the Mongolian army's cavalry arrives at the foot of Xiangyang City, I hope you can do the same. Just like that Yang Shaoxia, he was loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and vowed to fight the Mongols to the death."
…
"ah……".
That night, after Huang Rong returned to Guo Mansion, she was so angry that she broke a lot of things.
Guo Jing and Guo Fu on the side saw this and were very frightened. They had never seen Huang Rong lose her composure in this way in their lives.
"Mother, why are you so angry?"
Guo Fu still looked ignorant, but Guo Jing had some suspicions: "Rong'er, are you angry about what Nie Zhizhou said against us today?".
Huang Rong gritted her teeth and said, "What Nie Qu said is nonsense. Fortunately, you have been sleeping with me for so many years and you can't even guess why I am angry."
Guo Jing's face showed anxiety: "Rong'er, is it possible that you got the fame just because you were angry?"
Huang Rong said: "You are wrong again. That Yang Guo occupied Nanyang based on his ability, and used his ability to let His Majesty issue an imperial edict to declare his loyalty to the world. How can I be angry with him?"
"I'm angry at myself."
"I'm angry...".
Huang Rong's words suddenly stopped again.
She recovered quickly. She wanted to say, I was angry and secretly promoted the martial arts competition a few months ago, but in the end I made a wedding dress for Yang Guo. All my plans were just to make you Guo Jing famous. There will be a shadow for future generations.
But can you say this in front of Guo Jing and Guo Fu? .
If she really said this, Huang Rong didn't care what Guo Fu thought, but what would Guo Jing think? Would he feel inferior? , do you feel that apart from being good at martial arts, you are useless at anything else? .
So Huang Rong still suppressed her anger.
"Fu'er, please clean up the house."
Guo Fu didn't dare to hesitate and quickly packed up the things Huang Rong had smashed just now.
Looking at Huang Rong again, she sat firmly on a grand master's chair. After suppressing the anger in her heart, she instantly returned to her steady and dignified appearance.
Guo Jing walked up to Huang Rong cautiously: "Rong'er, the way you looked just now scared me."
Huang Rong took a deep breath: "Women are always angry."
"Just let it out, brother Jing doesn't have to mind."
"It's just that the Mongols are about to launch a massive attack on the Song Dynasty. Tell me, what should we do now?"
Guo Jing said: "Under the general trend, my cultivation level is still of use."
"If the Mongols really attack Xiangyang, I will definitely fight to the death with this ability."
"It's just that I'm a little worried about it now."
"There are only a few thousand Song troops in Nanyang. Facing tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of Mongolian cavalry, will they end up with a bad end in the future?"
Huang Rong smiled disdainfully: "Isn't it going to end well? Brother Jing, you underestimated me too much."
"Even if you and I don't end up well, he will never end up well."
"I can finally see that he is ten times better than his father Wan Yankang in terms of intelligence and cultivation."
"I will put it here today. As long as Yang Guo is in Nanyang, the Mongols cannot capture the city of Nanyang."
