"Prince Qiu, Priest Wang, and the three of us will rush up to the city tower from the horse racing track."
"First of all, we need to eliminate the threat of archers. There are only a few dozen archers, so it's not very difficult. The key is to move quickly."
"Taoist Master Ma, Master Master, Fourth Master and Miss Huang, after we boarded the city, the archers on the city tower had no time to take care of the city below, so you began to attack the hundred and ten golden soldiers at the gate of the city."
"The eldest brother can stay behind and shoot the opponent's archers with bows and arrows. The Mu family sister will be responsible for taking care of Uncle Yang, the second master and the sixth master, and also guard against the coming of golden soldiers."
"Be sure to act quickly, open the city gate and leave as soon as possible to avoid a long night and many dreams."
Everyone heard the words and had no objections.
Guo Mo, Qiu Chuji, and Wang Chuyi set off first.
As soon as I walked about five feet below the city, I heard someone on the wall shouting: "Who is it? If you dare to advance further, you will shoot your bow and arrows."
Before the other party finished speaking, the three men began to speed up.
Qiu and Wang went straight to the horse racing track on the right, while Guo Mo went up to the city from the horse racing track on the left alone.
The city wall of Zhongdu is three feet high. With the light skills of these three people, they are unable to jump up directly and can only walk on the horse racing paths on the left and right sides.
The people on the city wall saw that the three other people heard the scolding. Instead of stopping, they accelerated towards the city wall.
The general guarding the city hurriedly ordered, "Quick, quick, open your bow and fire arrows."
Fortunately, there were only a few dozen archers. Guo Mo and the others split up and walked to the city. A wave of arrows rained down. The three of them waved their swords and struck the eagle feathers, but no one was hit by the arrows.
The distance was only a few feet, and the three people's movements were extremely fast. Before the archer could shoot the second arrow, the three of them had already climbed onto the tower.
Guo Mo came from the left, Qiu, and Wang came from the right. All three of them attacked at once and attacked the archers.
At the same time, under the city gate, "Danyangzi" Ma Yu, "Flying Bat" Ke Zhen'e, "Nanshan Woodcutter" Nanxiren and Huang Rong also waved their weapons to kill the more than a hundred golden soldiers guarding the city gate.
The general who defended the city saw that just at the beginning, his soldiers were retreating steadily and could not stop the opponent's attack at all. What should he do?
This made the old man anxious, but Guo Jing from the city immediately solved this problem for him.
I saw Guo Jing bending his bow and setting an arrow. The bow opened like a full moon, and the arrow shot out like a shooting star, making a sound of breaking through the sky.
The general who defended the city, covering his neck with one hand, fell from such a high wall to the bottom of the city, and was shattered to pieces.
It was already unstoppable, but the general who defended the city was shot dead by Guo Jing, which made the situation even more one-sided.
In the end, the remaining Jin soldiers were unable to stop them and had no intention of joining the fight, so they fled one after another.
The crowd did not chase after him, and hurriedly gathered in the city gate, removed the horizontal bolt on the door, and opened the south gate with a "squeak".
From launching the attack to opening the city gate, it took less than a quarter of an hour.
Guo Mo conveniently took away more than a dozen war horses at the city gate. Everyone had one horse, and there was still plenty left.
Everyone filed out of the city gate, beating their horses like flying, and went down the official road to the south.
I won’t talk about how the Jin people dealt with the aftermath in Zhongdu City, but I will only talk about Guo Mo and his party.
Escaped from Zhongdu City, not daring to stop for a moment, and galloped southward.
They didn't dare to keep walking on the official road. When they encountered a fork in the road, everyone rode off the official road and continued southbound, running from morning to darkening in one breath.
The snow, I don’t know when it stopped.
No one knew how far they had run, and when they felt like they were about to fall apart, a village appeared in front of them.
Guo Mo hurriedly reined in the reins, "Oh!" The horse stopped on the spot, wheezing and panting, and bursts of hot air came out of its nostrils.
Everyone also reined in their horses, and Yang Tiexin almost fell off his horse.
Fortunately, Guo Mo had quick eyesight and quick hands, so he jumped off the horse and went to help him down.
"Master, seniors, we have been running for most of the day. It is estimated that Zhongdu will not send anyone to chase us. Let's go to the villages and towns ahead to rest first."
So some of the people dismounted and led the way, while others sat on their horses and walked slowly towards the villages and towns ahead.
"Lujiaji", three simple characters, are engraved on a stone tablet at the entrance of the village.
This market town is not big, considering its size, there are only a few hundred households.
At the entrance of the town, there was a "Lu Family Old Store", and everyone rushed to the store.
It had just snowed, it was getting dark again, and there were not many pedestrians on the street.
When they entered the store, the sound of a group of people walking around probably alerted the people in the store, and a man who looked like a store clerk hurried out.
"Hey, all the regular customers are here, please come in quickly," he greeted politely with a nod and bow, then turned around and shouted to the store: "Two more people will come out and lead the horses of all the regular customers down."
Because of the bad weather, there was little business in the store. Seeing so many people coming to the door, the store manager personally picked them up.
"Everyone, hurry up and invite us inside. It's freezing cold today. My mistress, please give me a pot of hot tea to warm you up." The shopkeeper enthusiastically ordered the people inside.
When we arrived at the store, the shopkeeper looked at the people who came in carefully and took a breath of air.
His "Old Lu Family Store" has been open for more than ten or eight years. He has never seen anyone coming from the south or the north, and he was also frightened by the appearance of the group of people in front of him.
To be precise, I was frightened by the strong smell of blood on their bodies, "Everyone, this, this is..."
Guo Mo hurried over, reached out and took out a gold bar from his arms, "Shop, there is no need to be afraid. If there are no other customers in your shop, we will temporarily book it."
"Also, you need to ask someone to prepare hot water first. We need to take a bath. Is there a clothing store in the town? Then ask someone to buy some clothes. This piece of gold should be enough, right?"
"That's enough, that's enough. Don't worry, sir. We'll make arrangements immediately. There are two ready-to-wear shops, and we guarantee to buy you the best materials."
He was so excited about money. This piece of gold bar was enough to cover the expenses of his store for a month.
Guo Mo didn't care, money was something external to the body, not to mention he didn't lack these. Being able to spend money to buy convenience was worth more than anything else.
Everyone was tired and had injuries. After bathing, changing clothes, and simply having dinner, they went to rest when it was time to heal their injuries and go to sleep.
There was nothing to say all night, and it was dawn the next day.
During this sleep, Guo Mo slept until about three o'clock in the morning when he woke up from hunger.
The sun came out and everyone was sitting around in the hall.
After a night's rest, the fatigue is gone, but their injuries will take time to heal.
The store is also fully prepared, no matter what the taste is, chicken, duck, fish, various kinds of pasta, and enough wine.
When the food is done, remove the remaining seats.
Seeing that they had something to talk about, the shopkeeper wisely served them a pot of tea and took a few waiters to the backyard.
"Changchunzi" Qiu Chuji spoke first: "Eighteen years ago, Pindao and the 'Seven Heroes of Jiangnan' had a dispute and made a pact with Yanyu Tower. Now, it is time to come to an end."
"The disciples accepted by the Seven Heroes are wise, brave, heroic, and courageous, and the disciples I, Qiu Chuji, accept...hey, it's okay not to mention them."
"Tomorrow, Pindao will spread the word in the world. In this gambling battle, I, Qiu Chuji, completely lost to the 'Seven Heroes of Jiangnan'. I have been completely defeated. I am resigned to being the underdog."
