Chapter 428

Hearing Yao Yue Fei’s words, Yao Yue Yun, Yang Yang Zaixing, and Xu Qing were immediately shocked!

Southern Song, Xiangyang City.

As the various experts of Southern Song arrived in Xiangyang one after another.

And helped Guo Jing and the City Lord of Xiangyang City to resist the Great Jin army together.

At the beginning, they indeed caused some trouble for the Great Jin army by relying on their individual martial prowess.

But not long after, as the Great Jin army gradually adapted to these things, due to the difference in numbers, Xiangyang slowly began to falter.

After all, compared to the Great Jin army, the number of Wu Lin people in Xiangyang City plus the original garrison of Xiangyang City was still too small.

Facing the attack of the Great Jin army, which was like a flood, the people in Xiangyang City felt a sense of suffocation.

Even Earth Immortal realm martial artists, facing the Great Jin army like a flood day and night, had times when they were exhausted, let alone in Xiangyang City at this time, where apart from a few people, most of the Wu Lin people were Grandmasters, Masters, and martial artists below that level.

Even with Earth Immortal*Mortal realm martial artists like Guo Jing, Yang Guo, Lu Lu Wushuang, Duan Yu, Qiao Feng, and Seeing Xuzhu, they had to keep an eye on Jinlun Jinlun Fawang at all times, and with their strength, they had no way to carry out large-scale slaughter on the battlefield.

After all, if they didn't control it well, they would hurt the people on Xiangyang City’s side, or even crack the walls of Xiangyang City.

And the Great Jin martial artists like Jinlun Jinlun Fawang did not have these concerns; as soon as they clashed with the martial artists in Xiangyang City, they would run to the foot of Xiangyang City’s walls.

And they would release their internal energy unscrupulously; after all, no matter what, Great Jin was currently still in an advantageous position.

Even if Jinlun Jinlun Fawang and others used up their internal energy, they could run to a safe place to recover their internal energy very calmly.

The people of Xiangyang City had to be careful about the internal energy in their bodies; after all, if they were not careful, they would be swallowed by the army.

With the opponent growing and them weakening, the Wu Lin people inside Xiangyang City also became exhausted under the day-and-night attacks of the Great Jin army.

Inside Xiangyang City.

Guo Jing looked at the scarred Yang Guo, Lu Lu Wushuang, Qiao Feng, and others, and a trace of desolation appeared in his eyes.

After a moment, Guo Jing slowly opened his mouth and said:

"Everyone, I, Guo, do not want to force you all."

"Now everyone has seen it, the Great Jin army outside is like a tide; no matter how unwilling I, Guo, am, if there are no accidents, Xiangyang City will definitely be taken by the Great Jin army."

"Now Great Jin has completely surrounded Xiangyang City; neither military supplies nor food can be transported in."

"Even if we hold on here, the end result will only be the destruction of the city and the death of the people."

Saying this, Guo Jing’s tiger eyes became a bit red.

After a pause, Guo Jing continued:

"Now, if you want to leave, it is not without opportunity; I, Guo, will risk this life of mine to ensure that you all successfully leave here."

"For the kindness of you all coming to aid Xiangyang City, I, Guo Jing, will never forget it in this life."

Guo Jing bowed deeply to the many Wu Lin people who had come to aid Xiangyang City.

The reason Guo Jing’s emotions exploded a bit now was precisely because Guo Jing understood that Xiangyang City could not be saved.

This Xiangyang City, to which he had devoted his youth and a very long time, could not be saved.

Guo Jing did not want these people to be buried with him; if he were to die, he would just die in Xiangyang City alone; these Wu Lin people who came to help Xiangyang City had no obligation to die with him in Xiangyang City.

Seeing Guo Jing’s desolate appearance, Yang Guo couldn't help but walk to Guo Jing and support Guo Jing’s body with both hands.

"Uncle Guo, actually I think you don't need to hold on here to the death."

"Come with us!"

"You have already given too much for Xiangyang City and for the entire Southern Song."

"Now Xiangyang City can no longer be held; even if you stay here, what is the use?"

"Uncle Guo, even if you leave here now, no one in the Nine Provinces will blame you!"

"Come back to the Tomb of the Living Dead with me and Shuang'er."

Yang Guo’s eyes were also a bit red at this time; from the time he was taken care of by Guo Jing when he was a child until he grew up and saw Guo Jing again, he had never seen Guo Jing so desolate.

And Yang Guo really didn't want Guo Jing to die here; originally, Yang Guo didn't have many relatives left, and he didn't want to see Guo Jing have any accidents.

Hearing Yang Guo’s words, Guo Jing didn't say anything, but waved his hand at Yang Guo.

After a moment, Guo Jing continued:

"Guo'er, what I care about is not fame and fortune, nor what others say about me being a 'hero of the people'."

"I am just an ordinary person who wants the common people not to suffer from the bitterness of war."

"I have lived in Xiangyang for most of my life; Xiangyang has integrated too many of my emotions."

"If you are still trying to persuade me to leave, then there is no need to say more; I will absolutely not leave."

Seeing Guo Jing’s appearance, Yang Guo sighed helplessly.

"If you don't leave, then I won't leave either!"

"At worst, we will all die here together!"

In fact, from the moment Yang Guo started asking Guo Jing, Yang Guo knew that Guo Jing would definitely not leave here with him; he was just trying to see.

Since Guo Jing didn't want to leave, Yang Guo intended to advance and retreat with Xiangyang City; at worst, it would just be death.

Before Guo Jing could say anything, Lu Shuang walked in front of Yang Guo.

The look in her eyes toward Yang Guo was only gentle, as if in Lu Shuang’s world, there was only Yang Guo.

"If Brother Yang doesn't leave, I won't leave either."

"Anyway, wherever I am, I am with Brother Yang; whether in life or death, Shuang will accompany Brother Yang."

Lu Shuang buried her head in Yang Guo’s chest, her tone without any timidity, only love.

And after Lu Shuang finished speaking, whether it was the three brothers Qiao Feng, Duan Yu, and Seeing Xuzhu, or Hong Hong Qigong and the Beggar Sect disciples, they all stood out, and in the end, they all chose to advance and retreat with Xiangyang City.

Guo Jing, seeing this scene, finally couldn't hold back the tears in his eyes.

"You really don't have to do this!"

After speaking, Guo Jing looked at the firmness in their eyes and knew that no matter what he said, he couldn't change their minds.

Subsequently, Guo Jing said loudly to the many Southern Song Wu Lin people who had come to Xiangyang:

"Knowing you all is the greatest luck of my life, Guo Jing!"

"And fighting on the battlefield with you is my honor, Guo Jing!"

"Even if Xiangyang City is really broken by the Jin army in the end, we must let the people of Great Jin know."

"The Wu Lin people of my Southern Song are all iron-blooded men! If they want to step onto our land, they must pay the corresponding price!"

Hearing Guo Jing’s words, the pride in the hearts of the Wu Lin people who came to support Xiangyang also burned up one after another.

That’s right, even if they died, they would bite off a piece of meat from Great Jin!

After everyone opened their hearts, the people in Xiangyang City became unprecedentedly united; although they felt that if they relied only on themselves, they would definitely not be able to hold Xiangyang City, they still wanted to stay here!

It was just that they didn't know that at this moment, the Yao Yue Family Army far away in Zhuxian Town had already begun to discuss the matter of aiding Xiangyang City!
