In the early morning of the next day, as the morning glow shone in Xiangyang City, Huang Rong and Guo Jing summoned Guo Xiang and Guo Polu to the secret room with solemn expressions.
Huang Rong handed the Yitian Sword to Guo Xiang and the Dragon Slaying Knife to Guo Polu, and told them about the secret map hidden inside.
"Xiang'er, you take Nian'er from the south gate tomorrow; Polu, you take Fu'er from the west gate. You will definitely pass on the hope of recovering the Song Dynasty."
Guo Xiang was shocked when she heard this: "Mom, dad, why don't you leave?"
Guo Jing said calmly: "If I can hold on for one more day, I will guard Xiangyang for one more day. If I leave now, Xiangyang City will collapse immediately."
Everyone knows that what he said is right. Guo Jing has long been the spiritual pillar of Xiangyang City.
If he left, not only Xiangyang, but the entire Southern Song Dynasty would completely lose confidence and fall directly into the hands of foreigners.
Guo Polu quickly put down his dragon-slaying knife: "If you don't leave, I won't leave either."
Guo Xiang also said: "Yes, our family will kill the enemy together, what's the point of leaving us alone?"
Guo Jing's face darkened: "What's the use of staying here? Take Fu'er away quickly. He is very talented and will definitely achieve a great career in the future. He cannot die in Xiangyang City in vain."
Huang Rong said softly:
"Xiang'er, Polu, mother understands your thoughts. But now Xiangyang City is in turmoil, and it won't help the two of you. You should leave the city quickly and contact the righteous men in the rivers and lakes to fight against the Yuan Dynasty together. Maybe you can still save us."
The two governors have reached this point and cannot be undone.
After bidding farewell to his parents with tears, he went to say goodbye to his eldest sister Guo Fu.
Guo Fu already knew her parents' plan. She was weak and disheartened because of Yeluqi's incident, so she voluntarily stayed in the city.
"Nian'er, Fu'er, it will be hard for my mother to see you again."
After saying this, tears fell like rain, and she hugged Guo Nian and Guo Fu tightly with sadness, kissing their young cheeks, feeling reluctant and helpless.
As if entrusting the most precious treasures in life, she handed these two children into the hands of her younger siblings, giving instructions over and over again.
Guo Nianben wandered in his sleep. When he was awakened, he burst into tears. He didn't know if he felt that he was about to be separated from his loving mother.
Guo Fu's eyes widened, witnessing all this.
Although he knew that he would be able to escape, there was no joy in his heart.
Because he wanted to leave this home and Guo Fu who treated him like his own son.
The pain in his heart was like a knife, and he really couldn't let go of this family.
Especially Guo Fu, her gentleness and care can be said to be my other mother.
But what if he stays? What can a two-year-old do?
"Sorry, Mom, I have to leave."
Guo Fu's tears fell, and he kissed Guo Fu's cheek gently.
The first time she heard Guo Fu call her mother, Guo Fu could no longer control her emotions, hugged him tightly and cried loudly.
Guo Polu turned his head and couldn't bear to look at this tragic scene again.
Guo Xiang's heart felt like it was being cut by a knife, so she hugged the two of them reluctantly, and then tied Guo Nian tightly in front of her.
Holding the Heavenly Sword in hand, he mounted his horse and, escorted by Guo Jing and his wife, rushed out of the city gate resolutely.
She looked back at her parents in the distance and burst into tears.
This time we say goodbye, we may never see each other again in our lifetime.
Guo Xiang went all the way west, experienced wind, frost, snow and rain, contacted heroes from all over the world, and prepared to rise up against the Mongolian army.
In order to deceive others and regardless of the damage to her reputation, she cleverly spread the news, saying that she was infatuated and was looking for Yang Guo.
All this is just to be able to act covertly and contribute silently to the great cause of resisting the Yuan Dynasty.
Of course, it also meant to inspire Yang Guo to come out and help Guo Huang defend the city.
After all, Yang Guo should know that as a child of the Guo family, how could he have the intention to find his lover when his parents were fighting bloody battles?
Later, Guo Xiang went to Mount Emei. On the surface, he recruited disciples in the name of practicing Taoism; in fact, he secretly accumulated anti-Yuan forces and prepared to overthrow the Mongolian regime.
This is something for later, let’s not mention it for now.
After Guo Polu and Guo Fu rushed out of Xiangyang City, they were targeted by the Mongols soon after.
When Polu looked back, his pupils tightened and a chill surged in his heart.
There must be enemy spies in the city.
At that moment, he recognized the identity of the enemy leader and couldn't help but gasped and shouted: "Yelüqi?"
He never expected that the person blocking his way would be his former relative, his brother-in-law.
Yeluqi looked at his brother-in-law with deep melancholy in his eyes.
He did not want to attack his former relatives, but he had to come today, otherwise he would not be able to win the trust of Kublai Khan.
In fact, he took the initiative to ask for help today.
He said in a deep voice: "Polu, surrender, you are no match for me."
Polu's eyes widened and he was filled with anger. He shouted sharply: "Bah! You are dreaming!"
After saying that, he rode off and ran away. He knew the gap in strength between himself and Yeluqi.
After all, Yeluqi learned from Zhou Botong, the leader of the Five Arts, and later learned from his parents the special skills of the Beggar Clan, the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and the Dog Beating Stick Technique. Among this generation, Yang Guo is probably the only one who can beat him.
Guo Fu was dumbfounded in Guo Polu's arms. He originally thought that when he left Xiangyang City, he would usher in a vast sky, but he never expected that he would encounter a strong enemy just after leaving the city.
Is this going to reincarnate again? Then what’s the point of me coming to this world?
Guo Polu hugged his son tightly with his thick arms, his eyes shining with determination.
He comforted softly: "Son, everything will be fine. Dad will definitely protect you."
Although his voice was low, it was full of endless strength and determination, which slightly calmed down the uneasiness in Guo Fu's heart.
I just have doubts in my heart, are you about to explode the small universe?
Seeing that the enemy was about to catch up, Guo Polu jumped off his horse and tied Guo Fu tightly to the saddle with his belt and clothes to ensure that he would not slip off due to bumps.
Then, he pulled out the sharp dragon-slaying knife and looked firmly at the approaching Yeluqi and others.
He suddenly swung his knife and stabbed the horse's buttocks hard.
The horse neighed in pain, raised its front hooves high, and rushed forward like a flying dragon in the sky.
Guo Polu, on the other hand, was holding the dragon-slaying knife tightly, looking forward with bright eyes, and a smile on his lips.
"Luoying."
He whispered softly, "We will meet soon."
He seemed to be telling his heart to his lover far away.
I've been waiting for this day for a long time.
Then he rushed towards Yeluqi and struck his mount with a knife.
This series of actions, determination, and such heroic ambition stunned Guo Fu. He looked at Guo Polu's back, which looked so tall and majestic in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Hot tears burst from my eyes.
I'm sorry, Guo Polu, I've never called you daddy in my life.
I don't hate you, I'm just not used to it. After all, I was about the same age as you in my previous life.
But in my heart, you are really a qualified father.
But can he really survive? Even if he is not thrown down and smashed into pieces, I am afraid he will be knocked to death on the horse.
The strong wind was raging, and the horse was like a dragon going out to sea. After passing through many difficulties and dangers, this old horse who knew the way finally ran to the gate of Xiangyang City.
At this time, Wu Xiuwen was patrolling and suddenly saw a crazy horse galloping in the strong wind, thinking it was an enemy horse.
My heart tightened, and I immediately grasped the spear in my hand, ready to fight.
Guo Fu rolled on his horse, like a boat in a strong wind and waves. He felt that all his internal organs were jolted out of place. He gathered his last strength and shouted:
"Uncle Wu, I am Guo Fu!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he finally fell unconscious and passed out.
