The maid replied, "I don't know either. I heard that some big shot is coming. It's up to Miss II. The lady asked Miss II to meet with her. By the way, the lady repeatedly reminded her to ask Miss II to come over immediately."

Hearing Huang Rong's urging, Guo Xiang hurriedly wiped away the tears from her eyes, ran back to the room, tidying her dress and hair in front of the bronze mirror, and hurriedly followed the maid to the living room. Guo Fu was curious and followed her and followed her behind.

When the two sisters hurried to the reception room, the guest and host were already separated in the hall. Not only Guo Jing and his wife were there, but also Master Yideng, Yelu Qi, Zhu Ziliu, Guo Polu, and Dawu and Xiaowu were there. As soon as you look at the hospitality specifications, you will know that the identity of the visitor is extraordinary.

When Guo Fu was curiously looking at the bald monks in the hall, Guo Xiang was already surprised and said, "Master Xinhu, Master Fang Zheng, Master Xinmei, Master Fang Sheng, Master Xuancheng, why are you here?"

Seeing this, Guo Jing hurriedly said, "Fu'er, Xiang'er, why don't you salute the abbot of the Shaolin Sect and several guardians?"

Guo Xiang spread his tongue and bowed quickly. Guo Fu had to bow with him, and was surprised and surprised. The one who came was the abbot and guardian of the Shaolin Sect, the world's largest sect? No wonder his parents and Master Yideng had to accompany him in person!

Master Xinhu and others smiled and replied with a greeting. However, Master Fang Sheng stood up and stroked his beard and smiled, "Little Guoxiang, after leaving Xingyunzhuang, you are more charming than the past."

Master Fang Sheng has always been generous and easy-going. He is Dugu Qiubai and Feng Qingyang's friend. He regards Chu Zheng as his son and nephew and "Xiao Chu". He naturally regards Guo Xiang, who has a close relationship with Chu Zheng, as his close niece.

But his name "Little Guo Xiang" that looked like his niece surprised everyone in the Guo family except Huang Rong.

It seems that Master Fang Sheng and Guo Xiang are very familiar with each other?

What was even more surprising was that Xinhu, Fang Zheng, Xinmei, and Xuancheng also stood up together. In addition to Fang Sheng, they took out gifts from the monk's robes and stuffed them into Guo Xiang's hands. They were all rare and rare Buddhist treasures, including pure gold bracelets engraved with the Heart Sutra of Prajna, jade Guanyin jade pendant, jade Ruyi, jade without impurities, and Buddhist beads carved from the black black stone of Vajra. Master Fang Sheng even gave two exquisite bronze men who could automatically fight against Arhat Fist.

Guo Xiang said in surprise: "Masters, you guys are..."

Master Xinhu smiled and said, "We heard from Shuai Chu that tomorrow will be Miss Guo Er's sixteen-year-old Fangchen. We elders discussed coming to support the scene and prepared some small gifts to celebrate. Shuai Chu and our Shaolin Sect are close friends, so you are not allowed to politely refuse."

Guo Jing and Huang Rong looked at each other and thought to themselves that this was indeed the case.

Everyone was shocked, especially Guo Fu, who was so shocked that his eyes fell off.

What status is these masters in the world? They came here in person just to give Guo Xiang a birthday gift?

Guo Jing hurriedly said, "Masters, you have prepared valuable gifts, so there is no need to give these precious gifts to my little girl."

Fang Zhengheshi said: "Haven Guo, the gift list is a birthday gift given to Miss Guo Er on behalf of our north and south Shaolin. These are gifts given privately by us as elders, and there is no conflict."

Fang Sheng smiled at Guo Xiang and said, "Little Guo Xiang, you won't even refuse to accept gifts from your elders, right?"

"Thank you, Masters, then I'll be disrespectful." Guo Xiang took it one by one with a smile, then remembered something, a blush appeared on his little face, and he said expectantly: "Master, I just heard you mention my junior brother, have you seen him? Where is he now?"

Several old bald men looked at each other and laughed, Fang Sheng smiled again: "Xiao Chu told us through Fei Ge's letter. We don't know where he is."

"That's how..." Guo Xiang was a little disappointed, and suddenly the gatekeeper rushed in with sweat on his head and delivered a greeting. This time, the Wudang Sect sent the Master of Qingxu Temple, Taoist Chongxu, and his eldest disciple Song Yuanqiao to visit. They also heard from Chu Shuai that Miss Guo Er's 16th birthday was coming, so they came to celebrate Miss Guo Er.

Immediately afterwards, all sects seemed to have made an appointment. The Huashan Sect sent his great disciple Linghu Chong, the Hengshan Sect sent his great disciple Yihe, and the Cang Sect, the Snow Mountain Sect, the Emei Sect, the Haisha Gang... and other powerful figures. In addition, masters such as Master Shengyin, the chef, the wheel-turning king Zhang Yimang, the dog meat head, and Han Wugui came to him and sent gifts.

For a time, the Guo Mansion was crowded with guests, and the guests came like clouds.

Guo Jing had no time to go out to greet him, so he had to ask Yelu Qi to take Guo Polu to the front door and wait, and the people came directly to the living room.

Guo’s mansion was busy, and the servants quickly brought tea, fruits, snacks and treats to the guests. They had to arrange guest rooms, so they were so busy.

In just half a day, two or three hundred masters from various sects, elders and even leaders came here in person, because of Guo Xiang's birthday.

The golden-faced Buddha Miao Renfeng brought his daughter Miao Ruolan, and the Shi brothers from Wanshou Villa arrived. A cave of ghosts in the West Mountain arrived. Wang Dong of Fugui Villa, Guo Dalu, Yan Qi, Lin Taiping, and Hong Niangzi also arrived.

As soon as these acquaintances and friends arrived, Guo Xiang became the busiest person. She giggled and smiled happily, and reminisced about the past with these friends who were familiar with Xingyun Village.

Guo Xiang was talking happily with Yan Qi and Hong Niangzi, and another report came from outside: "The military advisor of the Young Commander of Liangdu, Xu Xingzhi, Chen Jiafeng, Xiao Li Tanhua and Li Xunhuan, Di Yun is here!"

Guo Xiang was overjoyed and soon saw Xu Xingzhi in the young commander's army. Chen family style was in front, Li Xunhuan and Lin Shiyin, covered in a scarf, joined hands behind, Di Yun followed with his daughter, water spinach and Qi Fang two steps away, and arrived together.

Guo Xiang and Li Xunhuan were the most familiar with each other. They hurriedly asked Yan Qi. Madam Hong accused him of guilt and quickly walked forward and said happily: "Brother Li! Sister Lin, you are here too!"

Li Xunhuan's face was much better than two months ago. His originally thin face also regained its rosyness. His eyes as deep as a lake have lost their melancholy as melancholy as before. He smiled and said humorously:

"Little Guoxiang, your 16th birthday, even if I am the eldest brother, I will come to congratulate you." As Lin Shiyin on the side gave the gifts of the two, it was a genuine work of Wu Daozi, a birthday gift with the characteristics of Li Xunhuan and his wife.

Guo Xiang saw Lin Shiyin holding Li Xunhuan's arm. Although she did not show her true appearance, she could also see from her spirit that she lived a very happy life. The two of them were in a row, and they were really like a fairy couple.

Guo Xiang couldn't help but be happy for them from the bottom of his heart, especially when he thought that the two of them would be today, he also made some contributions and felt even more happy.

As Di Yun and his wife also greeted Guo Xiang and sent a gift, Guo Xiang had learned about Di Yun through Chu Zheng's letter, clapped and smiled: "Brother Di, congratulations to you and your junior sister for finally getting married!"

Di Yun's face turned red immediately, and he didn't know what to say, so he could only repeatedly say gratefully: "It's all Brother Jun's help, it's all Brother Jun's help."

Xu Xingzhi said respectfully: "Miss Guo Er, Young Marshal and Xu Shuai are a bit far away from here, but they are also on the way here. They said that they will arrive tomorrow on the day of your birthday."

Guo Xiang hurriedly said: "Brother Kou and Brother Xu are both busy with major issues. Mr. Xu quickly tell them that they don't have to come here."

Xu Xingzhi spread his hands and pretended to be helpless and said: "Miss Guo Er, you also know that Young Marshal, Xu Shuai and Chu Shuai are more in love than brothers. How could they be absent on such an important day as your 16th birthday? They also blamed Chu Shuai for notifying him late, otherwise they would have arrived a few days in advance to help organize this birthday banquet."

After saying this, Xu Xingzhi sent a gift list on behalf of the young commander's army, which could equip three thousand people with swords, bows, arrows, armor and 50,000 stones of food!

On the surface, it was given to Guo Xiang, but a discerning person could tell at a glance that it was a gift to Xiangcheng and Guo Jing and his wife.

Guo Xiang now knows the value and significance of these things, so he dare not accept them, so he turns around and sends them to his parents.

Guo Jing and Huang Rong were surprised and happy to take the gift list. For Xiangcheng, which is now lacking weapons and food, this gift is simply a timely rain and life-saving straw.

Guo Jing was moved and said, "Mr. Xu... This... this gift is too heavy. I heard that the Young Commander's army is going to provide disaster relief and prepare to fight against the Li family. It is the time when the weapons and food are scarce. How can you spend money at this critical moment and transport it back quickly!"

Xu Xingzhi smiled and said, "Gang Master Guo Daxia Huang, you are Chu Shuai's master and wife, and you are our Young Marshal and Xu Shuai's parents and elders. These gifts are birthday gifts given to Miss Guo Er by Young Marshal Xu. They will arrive tomorrow and celebrate Miss Guo Er's birthday with everyone here. If you don't accept it, isn't this what makes Young Marshal Xu Shuai dare not come to the door?"

"This...this...this...but this gift is too heavy." Guo Jing hesitated. Huang Rong thought that this might be Jun'er's idea, so she gently hit Guo Jing with her elbow and asked Xu Xing's way: "Then we couple will accept this birthday gift on behalf of the little girl. We will definitely treat our two nephews well tomorrow. Mr. Xu quickly take the seat."

Seeing that his parents were full of joy, Guo Xiang felt even more happy when he swept away the sad faces he had been in for several days.

She looked around the guests and friends in the hall, and saw the smiling and friendly eyes everywhere, and felt her throat more swallowed and her eyes were filled with mist.

She knew that these people were all informed by the junior brother to come to celebrate her birthday, and even the young man's generous gift might be the meaning of the junior brother.

Junior brother... he really didn't forget his agreement with him.

Even if I couldn't come in person, I made preparations in advance, and did not let my 16th birthday be quiet and I suffered a little grievance...

Junior brother... he is really good to me.

Guo Fu went from being shocked at first to being numb behind, and finally couldn't even stay there. Seeing Guo Xiang surrounded by stars like stars, her bright and happy smile with tears was so dazzling that it made her face even more intense, as if she was slapped hard by Chu Zheng.

The birthday banquet that Yelu Qi, whom she showed off before, became worse than that of her at this moment. The two abbots of the Shaolin Sect, alone, would probably be the highest standard birthday congratulations in the world.

She found a reason and was about to leave in disappointment, but suddenly she saw her husband Yelu Qi running in in a blink of an eye. Guo Fu noticed her husband's joyful look and couldn't help but stop.

Yelu Qi stepped forward and said happily: "Father-in-law, brother Yang Guo is here. I just saw that my father-in-law and mother-in-law couldn't take time, so I went to the dock to pick him up. The old leader of the Qingzhu Gang and his hundreds of gangs came, and they are now outside the mansion."

Yang Guo? What's so exciting about Yang when he comes here?

Guo Fu curled her lips a little unhappy, but saw Yelu Qi unfolding a small note in front of Guo Jing and Huang Rong. After seeing this, Guo Jing and Huang Rong stood up in surprise: "Really?"

"It's true that my son-in-law has personally tested it. The whole nine boxes are enough for our Xiangcheng for five years!"

As he said that, Yelu Qi looked at Guo Xiang, and even Guo Jing and Huang Rong turned to look at Guo Xiang.

Guo Xiang was inexplicably waving to her. Guo Xiang walked over. Huang Rong grabbed her hand and said, "Jun'er asked his good friend to get nine boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, and asked your brother Yang and Qingzhu to escort to Xiangcheng, saying that it was a gift for you for the 16th birthday... You can go with us to pick it up, it was for Jun'er."

After saying that, he whispered: "These nine boxes of gold, silver and jewelry are at least enough for our Xiangcheng defenders for five years. Jun'er took action this time, first of all weapons, food and grass, but now he is a big military salary. Hey, Jun'er is really ignorant. Their young commander's army also lacks money, food and weapons, but he wants to make a big deal. Doing such a big deal, I really don't know if it is a birthday gift for you, or a betrothal gift for me and your father in advance?"

Huang Rong shook her head and blamed her, but the smile on her lips could not be hidden at all. Obviously, she was not more surprised by Chu Zheng's heavy gifts, and was not more satisfied.

Guo Xiang's little face turned red to her neck. She lowered her head and didn't answer. The tears in her eyes could no longer be held back and rolled down.

She didn't care how heavy the gift the junior brother gave was. What she cared about was that the junior brother was thinking about her everywhere and the future of the two people everywhere.

At this moment, the gratitude and touching in her heart were really beyond words. She just felt that she had endured the pain of longing, practiced martial arts alone in Xiangcheng, and learned strategies... all kinds of efforts were worth it.

If the junior brother was here, she would definitely throw herself into his arms regardless of scruples to vent the excitement and joy in his heart.

Looking at her mother and her second sister happily going out, Guo Fu was standing next to the two of them just now, and she could clearly hear that nine boxes of gold and silver... enough for the five-year military salary in Xiangcheng... She said before that Chu Loujun refused to even dig out the treasure, but in the blink of an eye he was slapped loudly by the backhand.

She stood in the corner in a down-and-out position, as if the excitement of the world had nothing to do with her - of course, in fact, it had nothing to do with her.

Guo Fu's mouth was dry, and she picked up the teacup and drank a sip of tea. Hey, why is even the tea sour and bitter?

...

Just as Guo Jing, Huang Rong, Guo Xiang met Yang Guo and others, Chu Zheng was sitting in the post station carriage and continued to head towards Xiangcheng.

The closer it is to Xiangcheng, the less people are. To the north of the Han River occupied by the Mongols, nine out of ten rooms are empty, and more are the remains of the people with broken walls and wilderness...

Chu Zheng felt very worried about seeing it, and shook his head and put down the curtain of the car.

Invasion of aliens is a great disaster for the invaded nations in any world.

The carriage continued to move forward until it crossed the Han River at the ferry and reached the unsinkable south. The situation was better and finally there was a population.

Soon after, the carriage arrived at a small town called "Liujiadian". To Chu Zheng's surprise, the carriage suddenly stopped.

The coachman got off the car and asked for a while, and came back to tell Chu Zheng that the road in front of him had been completely damaged, and the only stone bridge that was moving forward was also destroyed, and the carriage could not be passed. If you want to take a detour, you have to walk for two more hours, and the road is not easy to walk.

Chu Zheng asked clearly that this place was only thirty or forty miles away from Xiangcheng, so he simply got off the carriage and sent the coachman back.
