Fuhuayin of the Divine Carving

Guo Jing was discussing the military situation with Lu Wende in the appeasing envoy's mansion, when a small school came to report that a Mongolian team of [-] people was found coming towards the north gate.

Guo Jing jumped up against the case and went to the city to look around.I saw the enemy's [-]-strong team lined up a few miles away from the city, but did not attack.After a while, more than a thousand craftsmen carried stones and erected logs to build a high platform more than ten feet high.

At this time, Zhu Ziliu and Feng Mofeng were already watching the enemy from the top of the city, and they were puzzled to see the Mongolian soldiers suddenly building a high platform.Zhu Ziliu said: "If the Tartars built this high platform to spy on the military situation in the city, it shouldn't be so far away from the city. What's more, our army only needs to shoot rockets and burn it down immediately. What's the use?"

Huang Rong, who was still in confinement, had been reported by a messenger. Huang Rong frowned and thought, unable to figure out the enemy's intention for a moment.Gaotai was established, and I saw hundreds of Mongolian troops leading mules and horses, bringing in a large amount of firewood, and piled them around the platform, but it seemed that the platform was going to be burned down.Everyone felt even more strange.Zhu Ziliu said: "Could it be that the enemy army was unable to attack the city, so they built an altar to worship the sky? Or maybe it's some kind of demon method to hate victory and pray for relief."

Guo Jing said: "I have been in the Mongolian army for a long time, and I have never seen them do such a strange thing."

While talking, I saw more than a thousand soldiers wielding long shovels and shovels, digging a deep and wide ditch around the high platform, and the dug out soil was piled outside the ditch to form an earth wall.

I could only hear the blowing of horns and the sound of drums, a team of [-] people came up and lined up on the left side of the high platform, followed by another line of [-] people on the right.The formation was set up, and another team of [-] people was deployed in front of the stage. Together with the previous team of [-] people, a total of [-] teams of [-] people surrounded the high platform.This large formation stretched for several miles, with shield players, spearmen, horse cutters, crossbowmen, and punchers, layer by layer, surrounding the high platform like an iron barrel.

There was a sudden sound of trumpets, the sound of drums stopped, tens of thousands of people were silent, and a horse galloped down the stage in the distance.

Immediately, the passenger got off the saddle and carried the person in front of him to the high platform. Because of the distance, the faces of the two people could not be seen clearly, they could be vaguely seen as a man and a woman.

Everyone was stunned when they suddenly heard an exclamation, it was Huang Rong's voice.Guo Jing was startled, seeing Huang Rong run up to the top of the wall to take a look, then fell back and passed out.

Guo Jing hugged her, hurriedly revived her, and asked, "What? What's the matter?"

Huang Rong's face was pale, and she said in a trembling voice, "It's Fu'er, Brother Jing, it must be Fu'er. Fu'er disappeared three days ago, Dawu was seriously injured and unconscious. You have been in a military emergency for several days. I was afraid you would be distracted, so I didn't talk about it. They built this high platform, piled up firewood under the platform, but put Fu'er on the platform, that is to force you to surrender. If you don't surrender, they will set fire to the platform, causing us and my wife to be heartbroken, confused, and unable to concentrate on guarding. city."

Jinlun Fawang carried Guo Fu up, tied her to a wooden pillar on the high platform, and said, "Miss Guo, if you want to get off the high platform today, your father will have to change it himself."

Guo Fu glanced at Xiangyang City from a distance, and remembered Guo Xianglai who was tied up on a high platform in his vague memory and was finally rescued by Yang Guo.But now Yang Guo is dead, who is waiting for rescue?

Suddenly seeing the city gate open, a horse rushed out to the north, and the rider on the horse was Huang Rong.Guo Jing, Zhu Ziliu and others got on their horses and chased them out.

A group of people rushed to the high platform, reined in and stood still where the enemy's strong bow could not shoot.

Huang Rong said loudly: "Fu'er, don't worry, Mom and Dad are here to save you!"

Guo Fu looked down and shouted, "Mom, Daddy, don't come here! Daddy, the Tartars are only trying to trick you, so don't fall for it."

Guo Jing and Huang Rong's heart shook, Jinlun Fawang laughed loudly, and said loudly: "Guo Daxia, it's not difficult at all if you want me to release your daughter, just see if you have the courage and backbone?"

Guo Fu spoke loudly: "What the Fawang said about courage and integrity is not fighting alone with my father, but threatening him with his daughter. I really learned."

Her voice was crisp and clear, and her internal strength was also cultivated to a certain extent. Her voice spread far away, and everyone who heard it was shocked.

The Fawang was furious, and slapped Guo Fu back with his palm. Huang Rong screamed and almost fell off the horse. Guo Jing supported her, but Jinlun Fawang deflected his palm at the end and hit the wooden pillar beside her. superior.

Guo Fu's long hair was forced to fly back by the palm wind, but she just looked down at her mother and suddenly thought: "If I die, my mother must be very sad."

Guo Jing has always been calm and dignified, the more dangerous he was, the more steadfast he became. Hearing what His Holiness and his daughter said, he didn't get angry, and said: "If His Holiness has any requirements, please ask for instructions. Why bother a junior."

Fa Wang said: "If you have the loving heart of a parent, you can come up to the stage and be tied up. One by one, I will let your daughter go immediately."

He knew that Guo Jing understood righteousness and would never sacrifice the people of Xiangyang for the sake of his daughter, so he provoked him with his words, hoping that he would show his courage and fall into the trap.

Guo Fu thought to herself: "Father will not fall into your tricks." She was afraid that her parents would be sad, so she simply kept silent.

Guo Jing looked at Guo Fu and said, "If the Tartars are not afraid of me, why should I make things difficult for my daughter? Since the Tartars are afraid of me, Guo Jing is capable, how can he die so easily?"

The Fawang sneered and said, "Human hero Guo has outstanding martial arts and incomparable bravery, but he turns out to be a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death."

Guo Fu laughed and said, "What about my father will be judged by future generations, just as what you are like, Dharma King, will be judged by future generations."

The master stared at her coldly, and said: "Guo Daxia, the Great Khan has an order. If you don't surrender, your daughter will be burned on the high platform. Don't say that you love your daughter dearly. This old monk will feel sorry for you. Please think again. "

Guo Jing snorted, and saw forty soldiers holding torches standing next to the pile of firewood under the stage, waiting for the king's order to light the fire.The [-]-strong team guarded the high platform so tightly, how could flesh and blood rush over it?What's more, even if he rushed close and the fire broke out, how could he save his daughter?

Huang Rong rushed forward a few steps, and Guo Fu yelled, "Mom!"

Huang Rong raised her head.

Guo Fu said: "Since I was young, I have been well-clothed and well-fed. No matter where I go, countless people flock to them with blue eyes. It is simply because I am the granddaughter of Dongxie and the daughter of the hero Guo Jing and Huang Rong. How can I lose your reputation? , only enjoy their honor, but abandon their responsibilities." She smiled faintly, "Mom and Dad, you sacrificed hundreds of thousands of people to defend Xiangyang City. Others are willing to let go of their own sons and daughters, so why not give up a Guo Fu."

Guo Jing felt very sorry. Seeing Huang Rong riding on the horse, but it was tottering, he stretched out his hand to pull Huang Rong onto his horse, and shouted: "Listen, Fu'er, you have always earned the high opinion of others. Parents I can't save you today, but I will kill this evil monk in the future to avenge you, and I will definitely not let Xiangyang City fall into the hands of the Tartars."

After he finished speaking, he untied the hard iron bow around his waist, put on a long arrow, and swished three arrows in succession. Three Mongolian soldiers holding torches under the high platform fell to the ground in response, and the three long arrows passed through their chests.

Guo Jing learned archery from the Mongol archery general Zhebe, plus decades of internal strength cultivation, where he stood where the enemy soldiers couldn't shoot, he could kill the enemy with a strong crossbow.All the Mongolian soldiers shouted in unison, holding up their shields to protect themselves.Guo Jing said: "Let's go!" Without looking at Guo Fu again, he reined in his horse's head and went back into the city with Huang Rong.

Standing on the high platform, Guo Fu watched the backs of her parents getting farther and farther away. It was clearly her own wish, but she couldn't hide her sadness. She suddenly thought of Yang Lai. What she thought of was Yang Guo in Shui Shui smiling at her, saying goodbye silently, and she understood what he was thinking when he said goodbye.
