Huang Rong explained, "There are three reasons. First, this person's intention is to help Xiangyang City. If you expel the person without asking the reason, you will not only lose a lot of help, but once the news spreads, it will also chill the hearts of the comrades in the city.
It will also make our comrades outside the city timid."
Guo Jing nodded when he heard this, "I really didn't expect this, but Ronger, how are you sure this person is here to help us?"
"Feeling." Huang Rong uttered two words softly, and then said, "Xiangyang City has become a target of public criticism, and the situation is precarious. If this person came to see the excitement, how could he enter the city at this time and cause trouble for himself, and Brother Lu
I said that after this person entered the city, he first went to the city tower to observe the Mongolian camp. If he didn’t mean it, would he care about the situation on the Mongolian side?"
Guo Jing thought for a while, but still felt that something didn't make sense, so he asked, "Then why can't he be a spy sent by the enemy?"
Huang Rong rolled her eyes at him, "Brother Jing, let's take a closer look at the spies we have caught in the past. Which one came in and said that he would not help defend the city and was still in a hurry to get close to the tower?"
Guo Jing nodded, reluctantly agreeing with her statement, and then asked, "You just said that there are three reasons, what are the other two?"
Huang Rong's face became solemn, "According to Brother Lu, this man broke his 'pick' trick with just a flick of his sleeves. Brother Jing, can you do it? How much strength does it take?"
Guo Jing frowned slightly, "Among Brother Lu's thirty-six dog-beating stick techniques, the 'pick' technique is the most profound. It depends on how much strength he uses."
Lu Youjiao's face turned red, "At that time, I saw that the man had an extraordinary temperament, and I wanted to give him a try, so I used eight or nine points of strength."
It's no wonder he blushes. Nine points of strength is equivalent to a full-strength shot. Is this like a test shot?
Guo Jing didn't care about this. He pondered for a long time and said, "In terms of pure moves, I need at least thirty moves to break the 'pick' tactic. If I use the extremely powerful Dragon Subduing Palm to break it with one blow, I will need at least five successes."
.”
"That's it." Huang Rong said, "Even Brother Jing can't do that person's light lifting. Do you think his martial arts will be average? I'm afraid you and I together may not be his opponent, even if we join forces,
Fellow martial arts comrades, things will not go smoothly. It is really not worth it to increase casualties for an unfounded reason. Now that the army is approaching the city, our strength cannot be compromised easily."
Guo Jing suddenly realized that, in this way, there was really nothing he could do about this person. Of course, the premise was that this person was really like Huang Rong said and was willing to help Xiangyang City. At the worst, he should maintain a wait-and-see attitude. Otherwise, no matter how high the cost, he would not be allowed to do this.
people stayed in the city.
I had given up the idea of expelling this person, but I still asked, "Then what is the third one?"
"The third one..." Halfway through the words, Huang Rong's eyes flickered slightly, and she suddenly said with a smile, "Rong'er hasn't thought about it yet. I'll tell you when Ronger has thought about it."
Guo Jing was stunned for a moment, quite dumbfounded. His wife was still as weird as ever, making him unpredictable. In fact, even if Huang Rong didn't explain this, as long as she said this person could not be expelled, he would do it, because over the years, he had
I'm used to her making suggestions, and every time she turns out to be right.
A strange color flashed in Huang Rong's eyes, and she turned to Lu Youjiao and said, "Brother Lu, please find out this person's whereabouts. Don't act rashly yet. I have my own plan."
"Okay, I'll go right away." Lu Youjiao responded, turned around and was about to leave.
Huang Rong asked again, "By the way, Brother Lu, where has Fu'er gone?"
Lu Youjiao didn't know what he thought of, and his face was a little angry, "It's not that General Lu who deliberately deprived the Shaolin Sect and Wudang Sect of food. Fu'er sent it to them early in the morning."
Since the Shaolin Temple and the Wudang Sect brought many disciples, they did not stay at the Guo Mansion, but were directly stationed in the military camp. On the one hand, there was no place to live, and on the other hand, they could cooperate with the army to defend the city.
Huang Rong was furious when she heard this, "How dare he do this after all this time? Do you really think we can't do anything to him?"
"Who says it's not the case," Lu Youjiao felt the same way. Lu Wenhuan not only deducted food from Wudang, but also from Shaolin and the Beggar Clan. He said angrily, "Such a mean person, if the situation wasn't urgent now, Lu Wenhuan would have deducted even more food.
I have to beat him to death with a stick."
Although this person is loyal and honest, he can also be very irritable when he gets angry.
The two of them were talking to each other, and Guo Jing's expression was both embarrassed and helpless. In fact, Lu Wenhuan had conflicts with many martial arts comrades who came to help defend the city, and they had reached an irreconcilable point. If he hadn't been in the middle to hold him down,
I'm afraid Lu Wenhuan had long been cut into pieces with random knives.
Huang Rong saw that Guo Jing's face was not good-looking, so she stopped talking. Lu Youjiao still kept talking, "Hmph, just wait, if Lu can survive this time and risk his life, he will also take care of this grandson!"
Huang Rong gave him a quick wink, "Okay, okay, brother Lu, stop complaining here and go about your business."
Only then did Lu Youjiao react and bowed to leave.
As soon as he left, Huang Rong sighed, "Brother Jing, no matter what decision you make, Ronger will support you unconditionally, but this Lu Wenhuan... I know you are thinking about the overall situation, but will keeping him be beneficial to the overall situation?"
"
Guo Jing waved his hands a little tiredly, "General Lu also has his own difficulties. After all, we are members of the Jianghu, and our reputation is not justified. It is understandable that he should be a little defensive. Once we kill him, it will be a serious crime of killing an official and rebelling.
I, Guo Jing, have been loyal to the Song Dynasty all my life. I only want to stand upright and have a clear conscience, but I cannot do such a thing."
…
Guo Jing and Huang Rong had not yet decided how to deal with Murong Fu, this "visitor from outside the world", but his appearance had already caused a sensation in Xiangyang City. People everywhere said that several gods had come to the city. There were also various rumors. Some said that the old gods brought
When the heavenly soldiers and generals arrived, some said that the gods breathed a sigh of relief, and the Mongols returned to herding sheep outside the Great Wall.
All in all, what he said was very interesting, but when asked what the old gods looked like, no one could tell.
Murong Fu, who was the protagonist of the incident, took Ah Zi and Lin Chaoying around Xiangyang City in a leisurely way, seeming to be observing something. Lin Chaoying was angry because of the previous incident, so he was taciturn along the way and did not give him any information.
What a good look, but Ah Zi was bored and bored, and kept clamoring to go to the city gate to watch people fighting.
Of course Murong Fu also wanted to go to the front army to see the battle situation, but he learned that the east gate and south gate were heavily guarded, and the nearby city area was also under martial law. There was no one to guide the way, so he couldn't enter at all. In line with the principle of not alerting the garrison for the time being.
, he gave up this plan, and the three of them went to a restaurant to get some information.
The restaurant is a gathering place for the three religions and nine streams, as well as a distribution center for all kinds of gossip. Even during the war, it was still very lively, with the atmosphere of wine and hustle and bustle in the hall.
As soon as Murong Fu stepped into the lobby, the sharp-eyed waiter hurriedly greeted him, but because of the slippery ground, he fell to the ground with a thud and fell to his knees.
There was silence in the hall, and dozens of pairs of eyes turned to fall on Murong Fu and the other three.
Murong Fu was calm and composed, "Second brother, please slow down."
As he spoke, he raised his hand slightly, and the waiter floated up, then landed firmly on the ground.
When everyone saw this scene, they couldn't help but think of the "old god" rumored in the city. Could it be this person? Are there really gods in the world? They thought so, but for a while no one dared to whisper a word.
The waiter was also flattered and stammered, "Old... old god, is... a job or a hotel?"
Murong Fu was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly and said, "First shoot, then stay in the hotel."
The waiter didn't know what was wrong, so he blurted out, "Do you want candle paper wax, or vegetarian food?"
Murong Fu's face darkened, "What about incense, candles, paper wax? Just serve me the normal dishes. Meat and vegetable dishes are not taboo, so go quickly."
"Yes, yes, little one, go right away."
Azi covered her mouth and snickered. She felt more and more that Murong Fu's appearance was so interesting. But when she saw the stunned diners around her, she imitated Murong Fu and said loudly, "You don't need to make a fuss, the gods are too
You need to eat."
Murong Fu rolled his eyes at her and found a corner to sit down.
At first, everyone was still very reserved. They peeked a few times from time to time and gradually began to whisper. After a while, they returned to normal. It seemed that these three "gods" were no different from ordinary people.
"Are they really gods? I don't think so."
"What do you know? Gods are also transformed by humans. This is called keeping a low profile and keeping a low profile."
"Since you are a god, why don't you go outside the city to fight the Mongols? I heard that the General's Mansion was defeated again. If this continues, Xiangyang City may not be able to defend itself."
"What, the General's Mansion has been defeated again? Who did you listen to?" A voice suddenly raised its voice several times louder.
"My third aunt's cousin's eldest nephew's brother-in-law's brother has a neighbor who is a soldier in the General's Mansion. The news is absolutely true. It is said that yesterday the General's Mansion sent 10,000 troops to steal the camp, but they were beaten so dizzy that they fled in panic.
They are not our enemies at all."
"Ten thousand troops? Stealing camps? Isn't this nonsense!" At this time, another person sneered, "So this general who defends the city doesn't know how to fight at all. If it were me, he would either not steal, or if he wanted to steal, he would steal from the opponent.
Even if they have to burn their food and grass, it’s okay. The Mongols are sheep herders and don’t have much food and grass reserves at all. As long as their food and grass are destroyed, the danger of Xiangyang City will be solved.”
"What's this? I have more shocking news here. I heard that General Lu's son will get married soon and will have a big banquet!"
The others were stunned, "This is not surprising, is it? What does it mean for you to have a wife? Although the timing is a bit inappropriate, marrying a wife and having children is a matter of human ethics, and there is nothing wrong with marrying at any time."
The man smiled and slowly stretched out two fingers, "Have you ever seen someone marry two people?"
"No way. Mr. Lu is just a white-faced scholar and a weak man. How can he marry two people at a time?"
"Hey, don't tell me, I'm really just marrying two."
"Alas, the world is declining, and people's hearts are not as old as they used to be. How long has it been, and you are still busy getting married? You are really a lustful ghost. Aren't you afraid that the city of Xiangyang will be destroyed and you will lose your children and grandchildren?"
