The story of Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu is not very satisfying, after all, one of them has a broken arm and the other has lost her virginity, even if they finally reunite at the bottom of the valley of despair, those past tragedies will inevitably make people uneasy, but the more unsatisfactory in the original book is undoubtedly Guo Er, Miss Guo Xiang.
The last picture of the original work is the picture of Guo Xiang watching Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu retreat to the rivers and lakes with grief.
At that time, the bright moon was in the sky, the breeze was blowing the leaves, and the crows on the top of the trees were singing, Guo Xiang couldn't bear it anymore, and tears came out of his eyes. Exactly: 'The autumn breeze is clear, the autumn breeze is bright; The fallen leaves gather and disperse, and the jackdaws are frightened. Lovesickness knows when it is, and it is embarrassing to be embarrassed at this time. ’”

Long Yang and the two reunited, the heroes guarded Xiangyang together, and also voted for a new generation of five uniques, everything seems to be just right, only Guo Xiang has become a superfluous existence, so why didn't Yang Guo Guo also accept it?
1. The fate of Guo Yang's family
The reason why some people are obsessed with letting Guo Xiang and Yang Guo be together is because "The Condor Heroes" is not an independent work, and its plot inherits the previous work "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and the entire "Double Eagle" is actually writing about the fate of Guo and Yang.
Guo Yang's two families began with Yang Tiexin and Guo Xiaotian's generation, they were like brothers, Guo Xiaotian was killed with a broken arm to save Yang Tiexin, and when it came to Guo Jing and Yang Kang's generation, although the two became brothers, Yang Kang went astray, and the two could only go the opposite way.
In the generation of Yang Guo, Guo Fu and Guo Xiang, the Guo and Yang families finally had the opportunity to rebuild.
At first, Guo Jing had the intention to marry Guo Fu to Yang Guo, but because Yang Guo was determined to marry Xiaolongnu, the matchmaking was not successful, but it was not all because of this matter, after all, Guo Jing's marriage was too abrupt, not to mention that Yang Guo was not psychologically prepared, even Guo Fu was panicked, it can be seen that it is really inappropriate to let the two get married at this time, and it does not prove that Yang Guo does not love Guo Fu, after all, it is also mentioned in the book that when Yang Guo sees Guo Fu, he will be shy and turn his head.

However, when Guo Fu cut off Yang Guo's arm, the love between the two was broken, and she later married Yeluqi, so naturally it was impossible to marry Yang Guo.
However, Jin Yong let Guo Xiang, the second lady of Guo, appear on the stage in the plot part of "Sixteen Years Later", and let her meet Yang Guo at Fengling Ferry, as if it was to continue the fate of Guo and Yang's two families.
It is worth mentioning that at this time, Xiaolongnu's state is uncertain about life and death, not so much "uncertain life and death", but more appropriate to describe it as "mostly dead", how could Yang Guo not know that Huang Rong's "South China Sea Shenni Theory" was a lie to him? He is willing to wait for 16 years, but he is not willing to face the reality and leave a glimmer of hope in his heart.
It seems that Guo Xiang's appearance is to give Yang Guo a spare tire, so that even if he can't reunite with Xiaolongnu, he has a way out.
Second, the infatuated Guo Xiang
Since Guo Xiang met Yang Guo, she stuck to this big brother, at first she just worshiped this "Condor Hero", marveling at his bravery, and when Yang Guo took off the mask, Guo Xiang fell instantly, she never imagined that this big hero is still a handsome man, the melancholy eyes, the vicissitudes of life, the white temples undoubtedly did not hit Guo Xiang's heart.
In fact, in reality, this situation is also normal, and some daughters who have not received much father's love in their original families tend to be emotionally attached to men who are much older than themselves.
So Guo Xiang launched a crazy pursuit of Yang Guo, and the craziest move was that when Yang Guo jumped off the cliff, she also jumped off the abyss together, almost without a trace of hesitation.

Yang Guo is not hard-hearted, in fact, from that moment on, he should know that Guo Xiang's feelings for himself are by no means the worship of the little girl to the hero, but the love between men and women, and he did not see the little dragon girl for the first time after falling off the cliff, and holding Guo Xiang into his arms at this time is the back road paved for him by Jin Yong.
But he didn't.
Of course, Jin Yong also explained in the afterword why he wrote this, he said: "Some 'modern' 'smart' readers think that Yang Guo is very stupid, and he shouldn't wait for Xiaolongnu for 16 years, he should first marry Gongsun Lucalyx, get his mother-in-law to give him half a pill of desperation to relieve the poison of love flowers on his body, and then marry Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang, two beauties, and finally engage Guo Xiang, and then go to the Valley of Despair, hold Guo Xiang's little hand, sit on the stone, and see if Xiaolongnu comes, if she doesn't come, she will be at ease if she marries Guo Xiang again." (In this way, Yang Guo became a 'smart' Wei Xiaobao!) ）”
But isn't Yang Guo a "slightly evil" person? He has never followed secular etiquette, even if he marries Guo Xiang, so what? Even if others say that he is attentive, how can he care?
Obviously, in the eyes of some people, Guo Xiang is already in his arms, but Yang Guo is not married, and he is a little puzzled.
In fact, otherwise, we only saw Guo Xiang's intelligence and loveliness back then, but when people look back at middle age, Guo Xiang's little girl is actually not so good.
3. The other side of Guo Xiang
First of all, what kind of person is Guo Xiang? In fact, she herself said to Huang Rong that she, her grandfather, and her big brother, are all evil sects, which is no problem, but both of them are big men, but she is a little girl, and some things should not be said by her, or rather, she is not suitable to say them.

For example, Zhou Botong hooked up with Aunt Ying, she didn't think it was a big deal, and said: "Shine!" He has dozens of concubines, and you don't even have a lady, he takes care of his friend's righteousness, he should give Liu Guifei to you. ’”
The love of others is so worthless in her eyes? Even a wife can give it away at will? This is inevitably too "evil".
Secondly, Guo Xiang knows that his parents are working hard to guard Xiangyang, but he has been traveling in the mountains and rivers, is this considered unfilial piety? You must know that Yang Guo is a filial son, he has always respected his parents, even if it is his adoptive father Ouyang Feng, he only remembers the good of the other party.

Third, Guo Xiang is different from the other women around Yang Guo, Yang Guo was certainly attentive back then, but at that time he was unmarried, flirting with those women, or being pursued by those women, it was a normal relationship between men and women, and Guo Xiang was different, she was still traveling around looking for Yang Guo on the premise of knowing that Yang Guo had a wife, how could Yang Guo not avoid her?
Obviously, Guo Xiang is not perfect, and it is not as beautiful as most readers think, but we didn't see her bad back then, and Yang Guo is extremely smart, he has already seen through this little girl, and then it is reasonable to choose to avoid Guo Xiang.
