Walking out of Heartless Valley, Li Dao was a little speechless. He didn't expect that Gongsun Zhiqiang and Qiu Qianqian would perish together just like that.

It was probably because she had mentioned it herself, that Gongsun Huaizhu went to Gongsun Zhiqian's study and found the secret mechanism, then rescued Qiu Qianqian.

Gongsun Zhizhan was blind. Qiu Qianqian had lost both his legs. Both of them were disabled and both of them had perished together.

It wasn't strange for things to turn out this way. It was just a pity for Gongsun Greencalyx, but the fate of a kind-hearted girl was just like this. It was truly sad.

This tragedy was caused by Li Dao, more or less, he pitied Gongsun Greencalyx and threw her the Nine Yin Scriptures. Li Dao told her that if she wanted revenge, she could practice martial arts to avenge herself. Under Gongsun Gushui's complicated gaze, Li Dao and the other two left Heartless Valley.

The horses trotted along the way, much faster than they had come.

As they approached Xiangyang, they passed by several towns and villages, but there was no sign of human traffic.

There was no one in the low, low houses. The road was strewn with corn and rice, and the hooves of the horses were shallow and stained with blood.

Without even thinking about it, he already knew the reason for this scene. Li Dao's expression was cold as his killing intent penetrated through his chest.

Without a doubt, the Mongol army had attacked Xiangyang, and the civilians near Xiangyang were being held by the Mongol army to attack the city, using them as meat shields in front of the army to reduce the casualties of their own soldiers.

As for the blood left on the road, it was probably because the Mongol soldiers had treated the women worse than the animals, but they had resisted and caused a massacre. The rice and corn were all taken away by the Mongol army. In the end, not even a single civilian was spared.

The three of them were not in a good mood. Although the strong preyed on the weak, that was only in comparison. How could he be innocent? Why should the people be guilty?

Sun Zhenzi held his anger in his chest with a twisted expression on his face. After seeing the traces left behind by the Mongolian Army, any Chinese would not be indifferent.

Xiao Long's beautiful face was serious as she lost her smile from before.

The three of them grabbed their horses' bellies and sped up as they headed towards Xiangyang. They had a bellyful of anger that they needed to vent!

The closer they got to Xiangyang City, the more preposterous the surrounding scenery became. Flowers and trees remained silent. The roadside was littered with the corpses of commoners, and dark red bloodstains were dragged along the road, causing the mud to emit a fishy stench.

"These beasts!"

Sun Zhenzi held the knife horizontally in his hand. The muscles on his face were scrunched up, giving off an indescribable feeling of anger.

"Let's go!"

Li Dao spat out a single word as he spurted his horse forward. With his sword in hand, he was about to drag the horse to the ground.

Battle cries shook the heavens. Smoke rose from the sky, and the setting sun dyed the sky blood-red.

Under the city gates, Guo Jing, with one hand broken, brought all the heroes of the martial arts world and soldiers to fight against the Mongolian army. Blood rained from the sky, making the battle miserable.

Li Dao saw Huang Rong's figure, Yang Zhao, Guo Fu, and many others he didn't recognize. They were all brandishing their weapons and fighting in the blood.

There weren't many soldiers guarding Xiangyang, only around ten thousand. Adding all the heroes, there were only around twelve thousand. However, the Mongolian Army amounted to a total of fifty thousand soldiers. Guo Jing had relied on the massive city walls of Xiangyang City to block the Mongolian Army outside the city several times.

This time, the Mongol army captured the civilians to attack the city, so Guo Jing had no choice but to leave the city to meet them.

The helpless cries of the people, the shouts of the two armies mixed together. Under the setting sun, it stung the eyes.

"Young master, I can't wait on you anymore, I'm going to kill someone!" "If I don't come back, please remember me and set up a tablet for your servant. Every year, clear your mind and pour me two cups of wine!"

After Sun Zhenzi finished speaking, he didn't wait for Li Dao's reply and rode his horse into the battlefield.

Li Dao laughed. His servant had finally shown a little bit of bravery. He turned around to look at Xiao Xiaolong and said gently, "Xiao Long, follow me closely!"
