Chapter 10: Lady Guo is panicked

As soon as Su Hang said this, the entire inn instantly fell silent.

The onlookers were all stunned, looking at each other, unable to say a word.

Everyone knew Guo Guo Daxia’s Wu Gong.

Everyone also understood Guo Guo Daxia’s status in the current Wu Lin.

But that Su Hang would predict Guo Guo Daxia’s ending like this was something no one had expected.

This matter is not hard to understand.

After all,

everyone knew clearly how fierce the Mongols were and how cruel the Mongol cavalry was.

With Guo Guo Daxia’s Wu Gong, dealing with dozens or even a hundred Mongol cavalrymen would naturally be no problem.

He could even take the head of an enemy amidst ten thousand troops.

But if he encountered ten thousand, or even hundreds of thousands of Mongol cavalry, and had to fight off the enemy while defending Xiangyang...

That was clearly not something a Great Grandmaster-level person like Guo Jing could handle!

In the current comprehensive Wu Xia world, the last person who could handle hundreds of thousands of troops single-handedly

was the Heavenly Blade Song Que of the Great Sui Dynasty,

and the old man Wang of the Liyang Dynasty!

Only these two god-like figures had created such fierce combat records.

But those two were top-tier experts of the Land Immortal realm!

They were far from being comparable to a Great Grandmaster like Guo Jing!

Although the Great Grandmaster realm and the Land Immortal realm are only separated by one layer,

it is precisely this layer that is as wide as a chasm,

and ordinary people might not be able to cross it even if they practiced for a lifetime!

What’s more, Land Immortals are extremely rare, counting as one of the rarest species in this comprehensive Wu Xia world.

And now that Guo Jing is over forty, he has basically practiced all the Wu Gong he should have, and it is difficult to make any major breakthroughs in his martial path.

To want to raise his martial realm again and enter the Land Immortal realm is basically impossible.

In other words, the Great Grandmaster realm is Guo Jing’s martial path endpoint!

But as Su Hang said, how could a Great Grandmaster handle hundreds of thousands of Mongol cavalry, especially when the enemy’s army formation also has Great Grandmaster-level experts?

Thinking of this, the audience at the Banyue Inn could no longer hold back and began to discuss it one after another.

"No way? If there are three hundred thousand Mongol cavalry plus two Great Grandmasters, then Guo Guo Daxia is in danger?"

"In that case, what’s the point of fighting! Just pack up the valuables, take the wife and kids, and run!"

"That’s not how you say it; Guo Guo Daxia is loyal his whole life, how could he abandon the city at a critical moment?"

"Then what does Mr. Su mean? Could it be that Lady Guo, young as she is, will end up a widow?"

"No way? If Lady Guo becomes a widow, I really don’t know who will benefit in the end!!"

"Tsk tsk tsk! You guys are just young! If I had to choose between Lady Guo and the Second City Master, I still think Lady Guo is better. As for the reason... those who know, know..."

"Yes, yes, yes! After talking for so long, this brother’s words make sense! May I ask this brother’s name?"

"I do not change my name or surname; I am Lu Xie Xiaofeng!"

At this moment,

Lady Guo heard this, and her complexion changed from rosy to pale.

Upon careful thought, she realized that what Su Hang said was not without reason!

For these years, the Mongols have been eyeing Xiangyang City, and the Mongol army’s ambition for the Great Song Dynasty has long been no secret.

And to destroy the Great Song, the most important thing is to take Xiangyang.

Once Xiangyang is conquered, the entire hinterland of the Great Song will be exposed,

and hundreds of thousands of troops will drive straight down to take Lin'an!

At that time, there will be nowhere to hide and no way to avoid it!

This is the most correct strategy for destroying a nation!!

Precisely because of this, Guo Jing has been stationed in Xiangyang with tens of thousands of Beggar Sect disciples.

And Lady Guo has also staked everything with everyone else to defend Xiangyang.

She had thought that if everyone gave their all, they could keep Xiangyang safe and sound in the end,

but if the Mongols really do as Mr. Su said and gather hundreds of thousands of cavalry in the next few years, and even bring in more Great Grandmaster-level experts...

Even if Xiangyang City were impregnable and everyone were united as one, its eventual fall would only be a matter of time!

Meanwhile,

Before Lady Guo could react, Su Hang changed the subject and continued:

"As for your third misfortune, Lady Guo,"

"It is that apart from your husband, your entire family will die in battle!"

"Not only your husband, but you too will die under the iron hooves of the Mongols!"

"Furthermore, your son, Guo Guo Pojun, will also perish in battle..."

"Of your Guo lineage, besides Guo Fu and Guo Xiang, everyone else will surely perish at Xiangyang!"

"To think that your Guo family, having devoted yourselves to the nation and the people, would end up with no descendants left."

"If this were to happen, would this not count as your third misfortune?"

Su Hang finished recounting the plot he knew in one breath.

It is worth mentioning that in this comprehensive martial arts world where Su Hang had transmigrated,

Lady Guo actually had both sons and daughters; besides her eldest daughter Guo Fu and second daughter Guo Xiang, she later gave birth to a son.

Guo Jing, whose righteousness reached the heavens, lamented the precarious state of the mountains and rivers,

and thus named this son Guo Guo Pojun.

He only hoped that one day this son would break the enemy's captivity, restore the nation, and possess great ambition and achieve great deeds!

Yet, what Guo Jing and his wife never expected was that before the child could grow up, the Mongols would mobilize a massive army to breach Xiangyang City, and their entire family would perish in that very battle!

This segment of the story was deeply moving, and it had left Su Hang feeling emotional for a long time back then.

Why do the good not live long, and why do heroes always die young?

It was precisely because of this that when Su Hang first transmigrated to this comprehensive martial arts world and met Lady Guo, he told her these facts.

And at this very moment,

Hearing this, Lady Guo could no longer hold back!

At the thought of her whole family dying in battle and Xiangyang City falling,

Her eyes immediately welled up with tears, and she wept bitterly...

She stepped forward immediately, bowed to Su Hang again, and said with an anxious face:

"...."

"I beg you, Master, save me!!!"
