Shen Mo turned around and walked down the cliff. Halfway up the mountain, they saw a huge fire in the Unrequited Love Valley. Black smoke and red flames soared into the sky. "Not good," Shen Moxin said. He hurriedly ran down the mountain to the villa. Half a mile away from the village, he felt the hot air blowing against his face. He could only hear the noise of shouting and the sound of collapsing beams and tiles.
When they arrived at the manor gate, they saw Gongsun Lü 'e and some other valley disciples putting out the fire. At this moment, the surrounding trees were on fire, and the sound of burning was loud. The heat was getting unbearable. Shen Mo held Gongsun Lvye's hand and said,""This fire is too big. It can't be saved. Hurry up and leave." As he spoke, he pulled her towards the stone mountain in the northeast corner. The two of them ran up the slope and saw that the buildings were all engulfed in flames.
"Miss Gongsun, why is there a fire in the manor?" Shen Mo asked Gongsun Lv'e.”"Yes, Father," said Gongsun Lvye. It turned out that Gongsun Zhi had taken the opportunity when Shen Mo went to find Wanyan Ping to leave the Love Flower Cove and fled to the valley. He was afraid that Shen Mo would come after him after finding Wanyan Ping, so he set up a fire before leaving the valley to stop Shen Mo. Of course, it would be best if they could burn Shen Mo to death. He was afraid that Shen Mo would chase after him, so after setting the fire, he rushed out of the valley without even telling his daughter. Gongsun Lv'e only knew the cause of the fire after hearing from other disciples.
The fire burned for a day and a night before it stopped. The next morning, Shen Mo and Gongsun Lv'e stood on the ruins of the manor. At this time, the disciples in the valley had already scattered and fled. Other than Shen Mo and Gongsun Lv'e, there was no one else in the vast Unrequited Love Valley.
When Shen Mo saw that the Unrequited Love Valley had been destroyed and Gongsun Lv'e was alone with nowhere to go, he wanted to take her to Xiangyang to settle down. "Miss Gongsun, we can't stay in the Unrequited Love Valley anymore." What are your next plans? Why don't you come with me to Xiangyang?"
Although Gongsun Lv'e had a good impression of Shen Mo, the Unrequited Love Valley could be considered to have been indirectly destroyed by Shen Mo. She did not know how to face this person who destroyed her home. More importantly, Gongsun Lv'e wanted to look for Gongsun Zhi next. She was afraid that Shen Mo would do something bad to her father after seeing him, so she wanted to separate from Shen Mo. "Thank you for your kindness, Young Master." But, I…I plan to look for my father. So…"
Shen Mo understood what she meant and sighed.""This is good too. Then let's break up here. Miss Gongsun, if you can't find your father in the future, you can come to Xiangyang to find me at any time. Take care, goodbye!" Shen Mo cupped his fists at Gongsun Lv'e, turned around, and walked out of the valley.
He had just taken six or seven steps when he heard Gongsun Lv'e's voice from behind him,""Young Master Shen, you…you take care too!”Shen Mo stopped in his tracks and waved his hand without looking back. He continued to walk out of the valley.
Gongsun Lvye stood where she was and looked at Shen Mo's back as he disappeared into the distant forest. Tears flashed in her eyes.
When it was close to dusk, Shen Mo arrived at the outskirts of Xiangyang. At that time, the two armies had been fighting for more than ten days. The mountains and plains were filled with broken spears and blood. One could imagine the tragic battle.
At this moment, the Mongolian army was attacking the city. Arrows rained down like rain, and stones fell like hail, all of them flying towards the city. Then, the army rode the ladder and climbed up the city wall in all directions. The city was heavily guarded. Every eight soldiers held a big wooden ladder and pushed it away from the city wall. After a long time, several hundred Mongolian soldiers finally managed to reach the top of the wall. The cries of the Mongolian army shook the heavens as the hundred-man teams climbed up like ants. Meng heard the urgent claps in the city, and a team of archers appeared behind the parapet. The arrows were so strong that the Mongolian reinforcements were unable to advance. Then, another group of Song soldiers came out and raised their torches. The ladder was burned, and the Mongolian soldiers on the ladder fell one after another.
Amidst the shouts from above and below the city, a group of brave men with long spears and sharp blades flashed out from the top of the city. They attacked the Mongolian soldiers who had climbed up the city wall. This group of men did not wear the uniform of the Song army. Some of them were dressed in black short clothes, while others were dressed in long green robes. They didn't form a formation when attacking, but they were agile and obviously had martial arts. The Mongolian soldiers who had attacked the city walls were all brave warriors and were invincible. However, after a few rounds of fighting, they were defeated one by one. Some of them were lying on the city walls, while others were crushed under the walls.
In a short while, the hundreds of Mongolian soldiers on top of the city wall were all killed. The sky was getting dark and they could no longer fight. The Mongolian army immediately sounded the bell and retreated 30 miles to set up camp. Seeing the Mongolian troops retreat, the Song army on the city wall cheered like thunder.
After the Mongolian army had left, Shen Mo rode towards Xiangyang. When he reached the city, it was already evening. He saw that the city gates were tightly shut, and teams of soldiers holding torches were patrolling the city. Shen Mo shouted," I'm Shen Mo. I'm here to help defend the city. Go and report to Guo Jing, Great Swordsman Guo."”The general on the city wall heard the shout and saw that he was alone. He immediately reported to Guo Jing.
After a short while, two young men walked up to the top of the city wall and looked down. One of them shouted,"So it's Young Master Shen?"
When Shen Mo saw that it was the Wu brothers, he said,""That's right. Is Hero Guo in the city?"
"Yes, Young Master Shen, please come in." Wu Xiuwen replied.”
He ordered the soldiers to open the city gate and put down the suspension bridge, allowing Shen Mo to enter the city alone.
Er Wu led the two of them to a big house. Guo Jing's face was full of joy. He rushed out of the door and bowed to Shen Mo. He held his hand and smiled."Young Master Shen, you came at the right time. The Tartars are in a hurry to attack the city. With your arrival, I will be able to help. It is really a blessing for the people in the city.”At this moment, Yang Guo also flashed out from behind Guo Jing and knelt down,"Good day, Master."
"Get up," Shen Mo said. She helped him up and saw that he was still as elegant as before, but there was less frivolity between his brows and more steadiness. Thinking about how many days of bloody battles had honed him, he couldn't help but feel gratified. Then, everyone entered the house.
