Guo Jing has been guarding Xiangyang for several years and has saved Xiangyang from danger many times. He is very famous in Xiangyang City, to the point where "no one knows it, no one knows it".
Soon after Gongsun Lue and Hong Lingbo entered Xiangyang City, they randomly asked people on the street and found out where Guo Jing's residence was. They immediately followed the directions of passers-by. When they arrived at the end of the land, the two of them looked up at the plaque with the word "Guo Mansion" hanging on the door. After confirming that it was correct, they tied their horses to the hitch posts under the stone steps in front of the door, then climbed up the steps and headed towards The two guard servants at the door saluted, and Hong Lingbo asked: "May I ask you two, is this the residence of Hero Guo?"
"Exactly." The two servants answered in unison, clasping their fists and returning the salute.
After the words fell behind, the servant on the left continued: "But the two girls are here at an unfortunate time. My husband was invited to Zhongnan Mountain by a Taoist priest from the Quanzhen Sect a few days ago, and he is not at home now. "
Hong Lingbo and Gongsun Lue looked at each other and smiled slightly after hearing this. Guo Jing is currently in Zhongnan Mountain. In fact, they have known for a long time that they are from Zhongnan Mountain. When the two of them came down the mountain, Guo Jing was still a guest in Chongyang Palace.
Guo Jinghui was indeed invited to Zhongnan Mountain by a disciple of the Quanzhen Sect. This was originally Fang Zhizhen's arrangement. They were going to Xiangyang to ask Guo Jing for help and asked him to go back and deal with Zhao Zhijing. In order to prevent Zhao Zhijing's people from being discovered and intercepted on the road and being killed in one fell swoop, Fang Zhizhen and the others divided their troops into three groups to go to Xiangyang, so that at least they could arrive smoothly all the way.
Their method of dividing the troops into three groups did work, and one of them successfully arrived in Xiangyang. Guo Jingchi was also successfully mobilized to assist Zhongnan. When Guo Jing heard that there was trouble in Chongyang Palace, he almost said nothing. Putting down everything at hand, he rushed to Zhongnan on his sweaty horse. It's just that although his side is very fast, it is still slower than Yin Zhiping.
No one expected that after Fang Zhizhen fled into Wudang Mountain to avoid being hunted by Zhao Zhijing's men, he would be lucky enough to meet Yin Zhiping, who had been practicing in seclusion in the mountains for three years. As soon as Yin Zhiping heard that Chongyang Palace was in trouble, he rushed to Zhongnan to help without saying a word.
Wudang Mountain is much closer to Zhongnan Mountain than Xiangyang is to Zhongnan Mountain. Firstly, the journey here is shorter; secondly, Fang Zhizhen met Yin Zhiping in Wudang Mountain two or three days earlier than the Quanzhen disciples who successfully arrived in Xiangyang.
Compare it like this. Not only was Yin Zhiping's journey short, he also set off two or three days earlier than Guo Jing. Moreover, he used his Qinggong skills to drive with all his strength, which was not much worse than Guo Jing's sweaty horse. Therefore, it was natural that he rushed to Zhongnan Mountain first and solved the problem. The danger of Chongyang Palace.
At this time, Guo Jing was still on the road and did not know anything about it. Still hastening to Zhongnan Mountain. When he arrived at Zhongnan Mountain two days later and went to Chongyang Palace, he found out that Yin Zhiping had arrived one step ahead of him and had already killed Zhao Zhijing, thus resolving the crisis in Chongyang Palace.
"However, although he came a step late and did not really contribute to the rescue of Chongyang Palace, he was invited by the disciples of the Quanzhen Sect after all. Moreover, he rushed to Zhongnan Mountain with all his strength to help. He didn't delay for a moment along the way, but his thoughts were not diminished at all. Qiu Chuji and others still remembered his kindness and were very grateful to him.
It¡¯s just that although the crisis has been solved by Yin Zhiping first, Guo Jingren has already arrived at Zhongnan Mountain. It's not easy to turn around and leave immediately. And Qiu Chuji and others were grateful for his kindness, so naturally they were not willing to let him go easily. He was asked to stay a few more days and entertained him hospitably. It happened that there had been no war in Xiangyang in the past few years, and Guo Jing was not particularly busy with military affairs on weekdays, so he stayed for a few more days.
The day when Guo Jing came to Zhongnan Mountain was actually the day when Yin Zhiping and Xiao Longnu came to the ancient tomb to get married. Two days after the two got married, Yin Zhiping and Xiao Longnu decided to go south to Lin'an to pay homage to Li Mochou's grave. At the same time, Yin Zhiping also suggested sending either Hong Lingbo or Gongsun Lue to Xiangyang to deliver a message to Yang Guo. Later, Xiao Longnu changed the idea to send two people together.
That night Yin Zhiping finished writing a letter to Yang Guo, and the next day the four of them went down the mountain together and separated at the foot of the mountain. At this time, Guo Jing was still in the Chongyang Palace. The ancient tomb and the Chongyang Palace are located in the Zhongnan Mountains, and they are very close to each other. As long as you want to know, you can naturally know what happened in the Chongyang Palace very quickly.
However, although Hong Lingbo and Gongsun Lue knew very well that Guo Jing was not in Xiangyang at the moment, they did not need to mention it to the two guard servants at this time. After the two looked at each other and smiled, Gongsun Lv'e took over the words and said: "Our fellow apprentices and sisters are not here to ask to see Guo Daxia, but we want to ask to see Yang Guo and Yang Shaoxia. I wonder if Yang Shaoxia is in the mansion now?"
"Ah, it turns out that the two girls are here to see my uncle!" The servant on the right answered: "My uncle is here. I don't know what to call the two girls. Please tell me their names so that the younger one can greet you. Go in and report."
"Is he already married?" Gongsun Lv'e couldn't help being stunned when he heard this.??asked in surprise.
The servant on the left took over and said, "Yes, it has been two years since my uncle and the eldest lady got married."
"Oh!" Gongsun Lu'e said softly upon hearing this, his expression changed from the previous excitement to a bit sad and lost.
After Hong Lingbo glanced at her with concern, he turned to the servant on the right and returned to the topic: "My surname is Hong, and my junior sister's surname is Gongsun. If you just tell Yang Guo like this, he will definitely know about us."
The servant nodded in agreement and said: "The two girls, please wait here for a moment, I will go in and report." After that, he bowed his hands and bowed, said goodbye and left, entering the mansion.
Hong Lingbo watched the servant leave and disappear after turning around the screen wall. He took Gongsun Lu'e's hand, took two steps back, and whispered: "You already knew that he was engaged to the eldest daughter of the Guo family. Yes, getting married is a matter of time, so why are you sad now?"
Hearing this, Gongsun Lu'e lowered his head with a blush on his face, and took a peek at the servant who stayed behind. Seeing that he didn't notice him, he heard Hong Lingbo's words and gently pulled Hong Lingbo's hand with a sigh of relief. He whispered angrily: "Sister, please don't talk nonsense. I'm not sad. I just suddenly heard about his marriage, and I was a little unhappy. It's nothing more."
"It's not the best." Hong Lingbo sighed softly and said, "Although you knew him first, who told you that you didn't express your feelings to him first? After that, he went down the mountain and got engaged to the eldest daughter of the Guo family when he came back. Oh. You, this is called a missed opportunity!"
Gongsun Lu'e's face turned even red with embarrassment. He shook Hong Lingbo's arm and said, "Sister, please stop talking. There is really nothing between him and me."
Hong Lingbo snorted softly and said, "It's nothing. You silly girl has unrequited love. Do you know if she has you or not in her heart?"
"Sister Hong, sister Gongsun, it is indeed you!"
Gongsun Lu'e was about to open his mouth to speak, when suddenly a cheerful voice sounded from inside the door. Gongsun Luzhe and Hong Lingbo looked up and saw Yang Guo walking out with a smile on his face in surprise. (To be continued.
