Chapter 132: A Cold and Kind Heart
A few years ago, when Li Mochou wanted to kill Cheng Ying in Jiaxing, she was fooled by Huang Yaoshi. She had experienced hundreds of battles in her life, but she once thought she had encountered a ghost or goblin.
Then Huang Yaoshi showed up, threw Cheng Ying out, and used his "Finger Magic" to help her, rendering her unable to resist. Cheng Ying not only bumped into her chest, but also slapped her in the face.
Li Mochou had never suffered such a great humiliation in her life, and she had always felt resentful about it. However, she also knew that she could not get any benefits from Huang Yaoshi, so Huang Rong was her way to avenge this humiliation.
The heroes didn't know about this at first, but when they heard Li Mochou say that Huang Yaoshi taught her, they understood: "No wonder she said that Huang Rong was just a little girl, she didn't have any kung fu, and she just relied on her husband Guo Jing to bluff. She became the leader of the Beggars' Sect, and she only had the support of her master, the Northern Beggar Hong Qigong.
She was directly pointing out that Huang Yaoshi was incompetent!"
Everyone knew that Huang Rong was resourceful and skilled in martial arts, so they all turned to look at her, thinking, "Since Li Mochou mocked Mrs. Guo for only relying on her husband and master, if Hero Guo and Gang Leader Hong stepped forward, wouldn't that just prove what she said?
Fortunately, no matter how strong Li Mochou's martial arts are, she may not be able to defeat her. I wonder what they will come up with."
The reason why Feng Yi did not stop it and deliberately introduced Li Mochou to Huang Rong was certainly because he had an intention to pull Li Mochou out of the group of villains, and he also had a mischievous mentality.
She knew that in the original plot, Li Mochou was helpless against Huang Rong, and lost both in wits and strength, but Huang Rong did not kill her. But today Huang Rong was not feeling well, so she wanted to see how this woman, known as the "female Zhuge", would break the impasse.
Huang Rong said in a clear voice: "I have heard of the Red Snake Fairy's great name for a long time. If it were an ordinary day, I would definitely accept your advice.
But this time, we invite heroes from all over the world to join us in this great event, in order to prevent the Mongolian Tartars from daring to invade our Song Dynasty. You came at a wrong time, so you can only fail to live up to our ambitions!"
Huang Rong knew that if she fought, she would be no match for Li Mochou. If she wanted to avoid the fight, she had to have a plausible reason, which was not difficult for her.
Li Mochou smiled and said, "This is not the right time. All the heroes in the world are gathered here at this time. You said that we are going to discuss the strategy to resist the Mongols. If I compete with you for fame, wouldn't it make me look petty?"
Huang Rong smiled without saying anything.
Li Mochou sneered, "But before I arrived at Lujia Village, your disciple shouted at me to kill me because of Wu Sanniang's death, and your daughter was even more rude to me.
After I entered the Heroes Conference, Master Yideng's disciples also attacked me because I said a few truthful words that affected the reputation of my master! What? You, Madam Guo's friends and disciples, can use the Heroes Conference to settle the disputes in the martial arts world, but I, Li Mochou, can't seek justice for myself and my master?
Or is it that at the Heroes Conference, only you and your husband are heroes, and we are just making up the numbers?"
Her words were sharp, and every word she spoke was full of challenge, making people feel uncomfortable.
Huang Rong's heart skipped a beat. She had been completely controlled by Li Mochou.
Dian Cang Yuyin was even more furious, slamming the table and standing up, with thick eyebrows, he shouted: "Kill someone and pay with your life, owe a debt and pay it back, it's justice!"
His voice was already very loud, and when he shouted like this, it made people's ears buzz.
"Well said!" Li Mochou raised her eyebrows slightly. "I heard that you were the commander of the Dali navy before. Have you ever killed anyone? Why don't you pay for it with your life? If the heroes here have to pay for killing someone, then it would be a good idea to build a tomb right there!"
Dian Cang Yuyin said angrily: "You, a demon, have killed innocent people indiscriminately and committed many evils. Everyone has the right to punish you. Do you think you can justify yourself by making up stories?"
"Demon?" Li Mochou laughed, "Killing innocent people? Doing many evil things? Well said! Then I would like to ask you, Mr. Guo, you are very kind and righteous, but when you helped the Mongols in their westward expedition, I don't know how many people died under the butcher's knife, including not only women and children of foreign races, but also heroes of the Beggars' Sect, right? Because of their own selfishness, they died just like that, are they innocent? Madam Guo, I didn't kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of me, so do you want to pay with your lives?"
This was earth-shattering. All the heroes knew that Guo Jing had helped the Mongols in their westward expedition, and Huang Rong had led thousands of heroes from the Beggars' Sect to help Guo Jing, resulting in countless casualties. This matter spread throughout the world.
So when they heard Li Mochou speak frankly, their hearts skipped a beat and they turned to look.
In order to get revenge, Guo Jing helped Genghis Khan to break the city. After seeing Genghis Khan massacre the city, he regretted it very much. Now he thinks about it day and night, just because he doesn't want the tragedy to happen in the Song Dynasty. However, his past actions make him feel guilty, and his ears are buzzing at this moment.
Huang Rong's expression darkened as well. She saw Guo Jing's eyes were staring blankly, as if he was dazed and dumb. She couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
Feng Yi looked over and saw Huang Rong with a frown on her face, while Li Mochou's eyes were moving. Deep in her eyes, there seemed to be a hint of satisfaction. He couldn't help but think: "Huang Rong, the female Zhuge Liang, is nothing special without martial arts. Anyway, she can't get the upper hand from Li Mochou!"
The heroes now understood why Li Mochou was said to be someone not to be trifled with!
Suddenly, Zhu Ziliu snorted, "Absurd!" He walked out with a sullen face and said, "At that time, Mongolia was an enemy of the Jin Dynasty and allied with the Song Dynasty. How can the deeds of Hero Guo and Gang Leader Huang in aiding Mongolia be compared with your deeds?"
Li Mochou sneered: "Did I say that they were talking about the same thing as me? Didn't I say that many people were killed by them, and were there innocent people among them?
Besides, in the eyes of those whose families and countries were destroyed, Hero Guo and Madam Guo might not be evil monsters or witches! "
All the heroes knew that it was hard to say whether Guo Jing was a demon or not, but Huang Rong was a well-known witch in the past. Not only the Quanzhen Sect, but also the Yideng disciples such as Zhu Ziliu had called her that.
Zhu Ziliu coughed dryly and said, "Master Guo, Madam Guo, now that the Mongols are about to invade the Song Dynasty, we should join hands to resist the enemy. Don't let her affect your mood! Give the Tartars an opportunity to take advantage of it!"
"Haha, you're at a loss for words, right? Should you get angry and humiliated next?
Anyway, this is the home ground of you so-called righteous people. It won’t be difficult to rush over and kill me!"
Li Mochou turned her eyes and glanced at Hong Qigong: "Back then, Ouyang Ke, the nephew of Ouyang Feng, the Western Poison, ruined the reputations of so many good women in the Central Plains. Did he commit so many evil deeds that everyone should kill him? Old Gang Leader Hong is invincible and chivalrous, so why not kill him?"
These few words shocked everyone present and they all turned their eyes to Hong Qigong's face.
"Why not execute him?"
Everyone knows that Ouyang Feng is the best! Hong Qigong frowned and drank a large bowl of wine.
Li Mochou said, "Let me speak for Mr. Hong. You are kindhearted and respect your status, but you are also afraid.
Are you afraid that if you kill Ouyang Ke, Ouyang Feng will use a thousand or ten thousand lives of your Beggars' Sect to pay for it?
So there is nothing wrong with you doing this, but Island Master Huang, who is as famous as you, hehe..."
Hong Qigong laughed and said, "Li Mochou, is it because Huang Lao Xie beat you in the past and you are not convinced that you are here to argue with Rong'er?"
Li Mochou snorted softly and said, "Old Master Hong, it is clear that many of the right and wrong in this world are actually about who has better martial arts and stronger strength, but not about who is more right!
Island Master Huang is a senior in the martial arts world, and his status is so noble. It is my honor to have him teach me.
But he relied on his superior martial arts to play tricks on me, and even used a child to humiliate me. This is not only about me, Li Mochou, but also about the reputation of the Ancient Tomb Sect. How can I say that I will not give in? "
Hong Qigong laughed and said, "Master Ling's martial arts skills are unrivaled in the martial arts world, so why would he need a little kid like you to step forward?"
Li Mochou said proudly: "The martial arts of my sect's master are indeed worthy of the four words 'unique in the martial arts world', but I am afraid that what I have achieved is not even one tenth of what he has achieved.
Island Master Huang is the world's leading martial arts master. He is much older than me and naturally has better skills than me. I was badly defeated by him. Although I was not convinced, there was nothing I could do.
Then we can only look for his disciples, but since the death of Qu Lingfeng, Chen Xuanfeng, Mei Chaofeng and Lu Chengfeng, he has no one left.
I can only take the liberty of learning the magical skills of his biological daughter, Madam Guo, so that I can draw inferences from one example and see if Island Master Huang's martial arts are anything to be praised for without his profound skills!"
As the words fell, she waved her whisk, and her sleeves fluttered in the wind, like a fairy floating on the water.
Everyone sighed in their hearts: "Huang Lao Xie destroyed his own virtuous disciple, this is also retribution. Today, one of his four major disciples, Qu, Chen, Mei, and Lu, has been killed. How can Li Mochou say such a thing!"
Even though Huang Rong had a lot of clever ideas, she was helpless and felt very sad.
Li Mochou shouted, but seeing that Huang Rong still did not move, she shouted, "Madam Guo, if you are really scared, it is okay to say that you are not feeling well! Anyway, Qiu Qianzhang did this kind of thing in the past, you have seen it, it is not difficult to draw inferences from it!"
Huang Rong thought, "Li Mochou is so aggressive. If I don't take action, or if I say I'm not well, wouldn't I be like Qiu Qianzhang? Wouldn't my father's reputation be ruined? I'll try my best to fight him with my cleverness." She said, "It's better to obey than to be respectful..."
Guo Jing was shocked and said hurriedly, "No, no. You are not feeling well, how can you fight with others?"
Huang Rong also felt that she had no chance of winning, and suddenly she heard Wu Xiuwen shout, "Brother, there is no need for Master's wife to help, the two of us will fight her to the death." He flew out.
He, his brother, Guo Fu, and Yang Guo overheard the conversation between Guo Jing and Huang Rong, and learned that his master's wife was pregnant and had been in poor health recently, so Guo Jing asked Huang Rong to hand over all matters of the Beggars' Sect to Lu Youjiao and take good care of her.
The Master's wife was reluctant to fight, which must be because she was not feeling well. Besides, she had her parents to avenge, so she drew her sword immediately.
Wu Dunru also suddenly drew his sword and followed closely.
Guo Fu said: "And me!"
With a flick of his right wrist, the three of them flew out together, with cold lightning in their hands, making a sound of breaking through the air, and shot towards Li Mochou's back.
Li Mochou seemed to notice nothing and just looked at Huang Rong.
With a whoosh, the swords in the hands of the Wu brothers and Guo Fu disappeared, and their faces turned as red as eggplants.
At this moment, Feng Yi had three more long swords in his hands. They recognized that the swords were theirs, but if they were asked how they ended up in Feng Yi's hands, they had no idea.
"What is this?" Guo Fu was extremely embarrassed and said angrily, "Feng, what kind of magic potion did this evil woman give you?" She glared at Feng Yi, then looked up at Li Mochou, her eyes almost spitting fire.
Feng Yi smiled, shook his head and said, "Just watch the adults' business from the side."
Guo Fu was about to speak when she heard Guo Jing shout, "Back off!"
Guo Fu's heart suddenly felt cold. Feng Yi handed her the sword and said with a smile: "Okay! This is how you behave."
Guo Fu was so angry that she was fuming, but she couldn't vent her anger. She took the sword, puffed up her cheeks, and glared at him fiercely with sharp eyes.
Feng Yi seemed to ignore it and suddenly flicked his right hand, and two long swords flew towards the big and small Wu beside him.
Everyone saw that an invisible force was holding up the two swords and slowly flying to the sides of Wu Xiao and Wu Da.
Dian Cang Yuyin was afraid that his nephew would suffer a loss, so he raised his thick eyebrows and was about to speak, but Zhu Ziliu tugged at his sleeve.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Da Wu and Xiao Wu sneered, gathered all their strength, and reached out to grab the hilt of the sword. However, when they held it in their hands, there was nothing unusual as they expected. It was just like Feng Yi had handed it to them.
Although the people in the hall were all experts in martial arts, this kind of miraculous internal strength could make people stare with wide eyes.
Li Mochou's cheeks were red, her eyes sparkling. She looked at the whisk in her hand and said calmly, "Madam Guo, I just want to learn your skills. Since you are afraid of fighting, just tell me that you can become the leader of the Beggars' Sect because of your husband and Senior Hong. The Peach Blossom Island Master can only bully the weak and has no real skills. Can I force you? Why let a few juniors come forward and make people laugh!"
Feng Yi said immediately: "Mochou, we are not here to compete for fame in the martial arts world, so let's stop while we are ahead!" Li Mochou glanced at his face and said with an unhappy look: "Do you know that I was fooled by Huang Yaoshi and slapped by a child!"
Feng Yi knew that she was arrogant and felt deeply ashamed of being slapped. In the original plot, she even dared to ridicule Huang Yaoshi in front of him. Now that she had him around, she was even more fearless.
There was silence in the hall for a moment. Huang Rong showed hesitation, but Dian Cang Yu Yin was furious and shouted, "Devil, you are going too far!"
He strode over with two iron oars in his hands, showing no mercy to women, and swung the iron oars at Li Mochou's face.
Li Mochou sneered.
"Please stop for now."
Dian Cang Yuyin suddenly saw Feng Yi's left hand move slightly, followed by a sharp wind, and hurriedly raised the iron oar.
With a loud bang, the potential surged into wind, blowing the clothes of people nearby, and Dian Cang Yuyin even felt a numbness in his palms.
Although Feng Yi swung his sword casually, his internal strength was profound and the power of his palm was so great that it was beyond the imagination of ordinary martial artists.
Dian Cang Yuyin was the eldest disciple of Master Yideng, and he shouted, "Feng, Li Mochou said that Island Master Huang insulted her, so she kept pestering Madam Guo. But she not only harmed my fellow apprentice, but also insulted my mentor. I am learning from her, what's wrong with that?"
Feng Yi bowed and said, "Please calm down and listen to me!"
Dian Cang Yuyin sneered, turned around and sat down at a table on the left.
Feng Yi said: "In fact, what Madam Guo said just now makes sense. She and Hero Guo invited you all to gather at Lujia Village. You all came here without hesitation, not for other reasons, but because you all have a loyal and patriotic heart. It is definitely not to watch others settle their grudges and talk about right and wrong!"
When everyone heard this, they thought it made a lot of sense.
Most of the people who came to the heroes' banquet today were brave men. Seeing that the national affairs were deteriorating and a catastrophe was imminent, they had long been deeply worried. When Feng Yi said this, the loyal and righteous heroes responded to his words.
Feng Yi continued: "I believe everyone here knows that Mongolia is strong and the Song Dynasty is weak.
Just like how Madam Guo avoided fighting despite being provoked in every way, it was because she was not feeling well. If she fought, it would be like hitting a rock with an egg. A wise man would not do this!"
He had profound internal strength, and even though he spoke amid the noise, his voice was still audible. The heroes then understood why Huang Rong did not go into battle.
But when I looked at her carefully, I saw that she had a beautiful face and a delicate body, and she didn't look sick.
Li Mochou couldn't help but ask, "Mrs. Guo, are you sick?"
Guo Fu's face flushed, and she scolded in a delicate voice: "You, you are sick, my mother is..."
"Fuer!" Huang Rong shouted sharply before she could finish her words.
How could she tell everyone about her pregnancy in public? How shameless is she?
Feng Yi smiled and said: "Although the people here are all famous masters in our Central Plains martial arts world, they are not enough to defeat the Mongolian iron hoof.
If you are afraid, please turn back early and don't stay any longer. If you come here with the intention of fighting for fame, please leave. Because this Mongol invasion of Song is a disaster that will destroy our Han people.
"We have come together to discuss ways to save ourselves, but we may not be able to save the impending catastrophe. Why are we still killing each other here for some personal grudges? Isn't it ridiculous!"
Everyone was silent for a moment, and Zhu Ziliu suddenly interrupted and said, "Your Excellency's intention is to let us put aside our grudge against Li Mochou, right?"
In fact, Feng Yi had said this before. This was an anti-Mongol meeting, and everyone should put aside their past grudges and work together. However, many people who had grudges against Li Mochou did not agree with this.
Huang Rong discussed with Guo Jing and Hong Qigong that Li Mochou's martial arts skills were among the best among the heroes. If they could get her help, their strength would definitely be greatly enhanced.
It was just that not only was he looked down upon by Li Mochou in public, but his disciple's mother was also killed by Li Mochou, which was a humiliation to the Southern Emperor's clan. So when Li Mochou provoked him, it was not easy for him to use the excuse of fighting against the Mongols together to let everyone put aside their grudges.
"Mr. Zhu, you are wrong!" Feng Yi shook his head and sighed, "This grudge cannot be resolved overnight, nor can it be eliminated with just one word from Feng. But this is right and wrong, and everyone has their own reasons.
However, the world is in danger now, and it is a time to use people. Mo Chou has always admired the heroic spirit of the Beggars' Sect, which has lasted for hundreds of years. Therefore, she resolutely went to the meeting at this critical moment! "
Feng Yi paused and said loudly: “But whether the leader of this hero conference can put aside past grudges, turn enemies into friends, and work together, it is not enough to rely on words.
Because we are all from the martial arts world, and we rely on martial arts to survive. Today, at the Heroes Conference, we should also use martial arts to determine right and wrong!"
These words were so powerful that not only did the Beggars' Sect disciples agree with them, but even the heroes nodded in agreement.
Zhu Ziliu once said that Feng Yi's words were wrong, but he didn't expect that he would return the favor to him. His face turned red, then pale, and he suddenly shouted, "What instructions do you have, please tell me clearly!"
"I don't deserve it!" Feng Yi waved his hand, "It's just that Feng knows all about Li Mochou's past, which is indeed a bit disappointing. If I use force to protect her, you will definitely be dissatisfied and it will affect the overall situation.
However, what she said about being bullied and humiliated by Huang Daozhu and wanting to save face was also very reasonable.
In my opinion, since both sides are angry, let the martial arts heroes nominate someone of the same generation and age as her to compete with her and settle the feud!"
"That's right!" Everyone started to cheer: "Let's have a fight to decide who is right and who is wrong!"
Although Guo Jing and Huang Rong did not say anything, they both agreed with the situation in their hearts. Both sides had their own reasons, and the only way to break the deadlock was to have a duel.
Huang Rong said in a clear voice: "Master Feng, you are a quick-witted person. So, is there any restriction on the gender of the person who can attack?"
Feng Yi said: "As long as they are of similar age, it doesn't matter whether they are male or female. After all, women hold up half the sky! But everyone's time is precious. One game will determine the winner, and it can't be endless!
If Li Mochou wins, after today, you can no longer call her a devil, or call for her to be beaten and killed!"
Then he clasped his fists towards Hong Qigong, Guo Jing and Huang Rong and said, "I also invite Old Gang Leader Hong, Hero Guo, Madam Guo and other seniors, and the host, to be witnesses together!"
The three of them did not say anything, but they heard Zhu Ziliu smile slightly: "Master Feng, what if she loses?"
"Lost?" Li Mochou did not allow Feng Yi to speak, she stroked her hair gently and said coldly: "I, Li Mochou, have been active for half my life and killed countless people. I never thought I would live to this day. Whether you want to kill me for revenge or to eliminate evil, it's a matter of showing off your abilities. It's a matter of life and death! If you lose, what's the harm in giving your life to you?
Of course, if you are afraid of death, don't waste your time! "
