Chapter 134: Fighting for the Leader

Feng Yi's voice was not loud, but there were a hundred tables at the Lu Family Manor banquet, with more than 2,000 people, so everyone could hear him clearly.

But the content of these words was really harsh. The hot-tempered man became so angry that his face turned red, and he clenched his fists and wanted to resort to violence.

But when he thought about how Feng Yi's martial arts were too high, and how Zhu Ziliu and Li Mochou's martial arts were so profound, he easily resolved them. Their martial arts were so high and unfathomable, and he would only bring humiliation upon himself if he went up to them.

Some people think that this guy’s martial arts skills are too high and I am no match for him, but I am not the only one he has offended, so someone will stand up for him.

However, some people still felt that this was too much to swallow, and could not help but say: "Now that the Mongols are invading the south day by day, we have gathered together to fight to the death against foreign aggression. Even though the Mongols are powerful, you say that we are lonely ghosts, isn't that just encouraging others and destroying our own prestige?"

His voice was so loud that everyone changed color and looked towards the source of the voice, but they could not see anyone. It turned out that the person who was speaking was very short and was obscured by the people next to him.

After hearing this, Feng Yi stretched out his index finger and tapped the wine jar, making a clear and pleasant sound. He asked leisurely, "Who is speaking?"

The dwarf suddenly stood up and jumped onto the table. He was less than three feet tall, over forty years old, and his face showed a vigorous look.

Some people recognized him as the Jiangxi hero "Short Lion" Lei Meng.

Everyone wanted to laugh when they saw how short he was, but when they saw his fierce gaze looking around, they swallowed their laughter.

He just said, "I want to ask, although you Feng Yi are highly skilled in martial arts, you have belittled us to the point of being worthless. Are you the only hero in this world? Or do you have the ability to prevent us from becoming wandering ghosts?"

Feng Yi stood up and clasped his fists, saying, "You all have chivalrous hearts and are willing to sacrifice your lives for the country. This makes me admire you very much. How can you say that you are worthless? But now that Mongolia is powerful, the Song Dynasty court is full of corrupt officials and treacherous ministers. The old man of the Zhao family thinks that as long as the Zhao family is in power, many people still want to buy peace with money, just like they did with the Khitan and Jin. It is a foolish dream to rely on them to protect the country and the people!"

The crowd responded with a roar, shouting in unison: "That's right!"

Feng Yi added: "The reason why I am pouring cold water on everyone is because I have passed through the Mongolian camp, and they are all fearless and unafraid of death. With my ability, if I fight to the death, a thousand troops will be enough to kill me!

Although Feng does not dare to boast that he is the best in the world, there are only a handful of people with martial arts skills like mine in the world. If others were to confront the Mongolian army head-on, how many of them could defeat it?

Even if there were ten of me, galloping through the army, how many Mongolian soldiers could I kill? In my opinion, if one person could kill a hundred people in the army and remain unscathed, it would be a blessing from heaven! "

After hearing this, the crowd started to stir.

Guo Fu snorted and said, "You crazy man, do you also have the time to speak softly?"

Feng Yi smiled and said, "Miss Guo, even though I am a little arrogant, I also understand that it is important for people to know themselves.

It would be fine if you don't know your opponent's strength, but if you don't have a clear understanding of your own strength, you will die.

After all, not everyone in the world will value the support behind you!"

As he spoke, Guo Fu heard his implicit sarcasm and stared at him, becoming very angry, but her cheeks became redder and more radiant. She took a long breath and was about to speak.

But Guo Jing said, "My daughter failed to discipline me. The fault is Guo's."

Feng Yi smiled and said, "Master Guo should know that the Mongolian soldiers died in battle with their wounds on the front. What does this mean? None of them retreated, but what about us?

The court officials and soldiers had already had their bones broken. Although they were all skilled in martial arts, confronting the Mongolian army head-on would be tantamount to seeking death.

I know that people are not afraid of death, but how can they be frightened by death? But if you are not afraid, and they are not afraid either, can this change the defeat? I once discussed with Mr. Guo and his wife that we should let the Beggars' Sect help and poison Mongolia with me. It is not convenient for us to poison people, but it is relatively easy to poison cattle, sheep and horses.

As long as there are corpses, throw them into the water sources everywhere, and there will be plague. Let them also have a taste of the destruction of their families and genocide!"

These words made everyone shudder. Hong Qigong suddenly sighed, "Feng Yi, you are possessed by a demon!"

Li Mochou laughed sweetly like a silver bell: "Yes, we are all demons, but Senior Hong is a Bodhisattva, otherwise how could he be so kind, risking his life to save Ouyang Feng's life?

Not only did he put his life in danger, and the righteous heroes like the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan were almost expelled from the group, but his two most talented disciples even had a fight in front of the Misty Rain Tower!"

Hong Qigong suddenly burst into laughter. Huang Rong saw Feng Yi and Li Mochou pointing their swords at them and felt ashamed and angry. She couldn't help but said, "Master, she is scolding us, and you are still laughing?"

Everyone's eyes were focused on Hong Qigong.

Hong Qigong sighed, "Rong'er, do you know what a 30-year-old woman is? What about a stubborn child? You and I, the master and disciple, have been bullied by this little girl today. Do you think it won't get out in the future? Won't people laugh at me? Rather than being laughed at by others, I might as well laugh at myself."

Guo Jing and Huang Rong smiled bitterly at each other. Feng Yi also smiled and said, "Old senior, you are broad-minded. I admire you. Fortunately, I am not a kind person like you. Then I will do the evil things. What I need now is a guide who is familiar with the Mongolian terrain. This requires the help of your heroes!"

Everyone understood his thoughts. Some Beggars' Sect disciples had followed Guo Jing and Huang Rong on the Western Expedition, and they knew all the water sources along the way. If this vicious plan was carried out, Feng Yi would be useless without the Beggars' Sect, no matter how powerful he was.

Some people agree with Feng Yi's view that poisoning can solve the problem once and for all, so why not do it? As soon as Feng Yi said this, many people cheered loudly and urged the Beggars' Gang to agree and go to Mongolia to poison as soon as possible.

Some people, however, naturally disagreed when they heard this and shouted loudly, "Poisoning is simply wishful thinking!"

"You can poison, but Mongolia can't? Won't the people in the Central Plains die?"

"If we do this, aren't we committing treason and bringing shame to the world?" "Why, don't people die in war?"

"A fight between two tribes, a fight to the death, how filthy is that?"

“Yeah, Mongolia isn’t vulgar?

They were originally in a brotherly alliance with our Song Dynasty, but they have betrayed us, so it is not excessive to deal with them in any way possible!"

The two sides had different opinions, and the voices were getting louder and louder. People stood up and the hall was full of shouting and cursing, with foul language pouring out one after another. As they were talking, some people were about to take action.

Hong Qigong suddenly shouted, "Stop!"

His internal strength was so profound that everyone only felt the sound like a thunderbolt in a clear sky. Suddenly, their heads felt buzzing, as if a heavy object had hit them. Inside and outside the village, there was complete silence for a moment.

Hong Qigong stood up and said, "You are all invited by my two disciples to fight against Mongolia with the help of the great power. If you can't work together and quarrel over different ideas, how can we talk about other things?"

Hong Qigong is the leading figure in the martial arts world and is the popular choice. After hearing this, all the heroes sat down again.

"That's right!" Guo Jing continued, "The current Emperor Chunyou is a ruthless and incompetent ruler, and the Prime Minister Jia Sidao is a great traitor. The power of the court cannot be relied upon.

Speaking of the power of Mongolia, it was when it roamed the Western Regions and was unstoppable. Its cavalry was so sharp that it was able to sweep across the world.

But there are many talented people in our Song Dynasty. They all take the people of the world as their responsibility. People like us who practice martial arts are passionate and never succumb to any power or tyranny. That's why we are chivalrous, help the weak and punish evil and promote good. Even though the various factions have experienced ups and downs, they are still admired by people.

Even if the Song Dynasty is defeated, it will not succumb to foreign races. There will definitely be people with insight who will take it as their responsibility to recover the Central Plains. Sooner or later, they will recover the lost territory and rebuild the Han Dynasty. "

Feng Yi clapped his hands and said, "That's a good point. Let's toast to Mr. Guo!" Then he raised his bowl and drank the wine. Everyone was also pleased to hear this and toasted together.

Guo Jing said sternly: "Since the Mongolian invasion of Song, the people have been cruelly oppressed, bones have been piled up everywhere, blood has flowed like a river, and nine out of ten houses in the Central Plains are empty, leaving thousands of miles of wilderness.

We are hot-blooded men, and we must resist! But if we associate with evil bandits today because of the strength of Mongolia, and do something that hurts the harmony of the world, what is the difference between us and the lowly people who poison people in the rivers and lakes? Not to mention that your plan will never succeed, even if it succeeds, it will be difficult to convince the world and win by poison, and it will certainly be unpopular. If the Song people themselves are disloyal, wouldn’t this matter be a self-destructive thing, and the gain will not outweigh the loss? "

Guo Jing has never been good at speaking, but he is very clear-headed. Now he is heartbroken, and he says whatever he thinks, and his words seem extremely sharp.

Everyone who heard this thought to themselves that they had heard for a long time that Guo Jing was honest and simple, and that he was slow to speak, but he was actually very sharp in his words. Many people were also ashamed and had great inner hesitations, thinking that even if they defeated Mongolia in this way, they would still be despised by all the heroes in the world.

Feng Yi glanced at Guo Jing and the others and shook his head.

Suddenly, someone raised his arm and shouted, "We will follow the lead of Mr. Guo, and will never listen to the orders of others. We will follow Mr. Guo until death!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone else in the hall raised their arms and said in unison: "We will follow Mr. Guo's lead and follow him until death. We will never regret it!" The voices were like thunder.

At this moment, a long howl was suddenly heard, piercing through the roof tiles and stirring people's hearts. Everyone stopped talking and looked towards the source of the howl.

Feng Yi said in a clear voice: "What Mr. Guo said makes sense, but most people in the world fear power and do not cherish virtue, especially the Mongols!

Elder Hong is the most respected person in the world today, but what’s the use?

He is so generous to others, and he saved Ouyang Feng's life, but how did he treat you? Hero Guo was so devoted to Yang Kang's family, but what did you get in return? You treated him as a brother, and put yourself in his shoes, saying that Wanyan Honglie had raised him after all, and you killed him, but what did you get in return? He stabbed you in the back without mercy! Including his son Yang Guo, if I hadn't told him about Yang Kang, if he knew the cause of his death, even if he knew that it was Yang Kang who took the initiative to beat Huang Rong, causing his tragic death, he would not have been soft-hearted when he killed you and your wife for revenge, so did your virtue win people's hearts?"

Guo Jing and Huang Rong were horrified when they heard this, and they looked at each other at the same time. Huang Rong thought to herself, "Yang Guo is just as cunning as Yang Kang. If this is true, his explanation is unknown."

Feng Yi sighed, “It is your disciples, the Wu brothers, who hate Li Mochou so much that they want to kill her for revenge.

But Li Mochou didn't hurt his mother at all, she only killed Wu Santong. Wu Sanniang died of drug abuse in order to save her husband.

But do they care about the process of revenge? They only recognize the result of their mother's death! Including Li Mochou's saying that Wu Santong likes her adopted daughter, which is an incestuous love, isn't this the truth?

Mr. Zhu and his people only saw that Li Mochou had damaged the reputation of Master Yideng. Who cares about the facts? What matters is the result!

And I, Feng Yi, am here today to say that Wu San Tong deserves to die. Not only does he like his adopted daughter, but he also goes to mess up a wedding and dig up graves?

What? Is this what chivalrous people should do?

But because he is Master Yideng's disciple, who dares to say he is not? Everyone is watching the result!"

The faces of the Wu brothers, Zhu Ziliu, and Dian Cang Yuyin turned pale and red.

Feng Yi sighed and smiled bitterly: "Sometimes, I think you are really naive.

At this time, what is the point of talking about "virtue and prestige"! Senior Hong's art can convince the public, and his virtue can surpass others. Even if everyone is sincerely convinced and willing to go through fire and water for him, can his virtue really convince the hearts of foreigners and eliminate disasters?

You have to know that to those who have political ambitions, talking about people's hearts and moral prestige is like asking a tiger to eat vegetarian food, which is pure fantasy!

Fortunately, Feng has made up his mind to waste his breath. Just now, Mo Chou and Mr. Zhu settled their grudges with fighting. Neither won nor lost, so I will come with another big one!"

Hong Qigong stroked his beard and pondered: "What's so big?"

Feng Yi's eyes flashed, and he said, "Since everyone has their own reasons, and no one can convince the other, then let's fight to see who is better! Those who disagree with my ideas, nominate one person. If I win, everyone will listen to me. If I lose, everyone will listen to you. This is called fighting to win the leader!"

There was an immediate commotion among the crowd of heroes. Some were talking to each other, some were looking at Guo Jing. The situation was extremely tense and ready to explode.

"That's right!" The heroes clamored: "Let's compete for the leader, and the winner will be the king!"

After all, Guo Jing and Feng Yi were both regarded as the best fighters in the world by everyone. This fight was something that could only be seen once in a century, and everyone cheered, "Master Guo!" "Master Guo!" The shouts shook the roof tiles.

After hearing this, Guo Jing hesitated to answer.

Guo Fu sneered, "You really are here for the position of leader."

Feng Yi smiled and said, "You know I'm arrogant. Mr. Zhu just said it well. It's said that one should take on responsibilities without giving up. I agree with that!"

Huang Rong's eyes were full of sparkles as she said coldly, "Even though Hero Feng is confident that his magical power is invincible, it is extremely difficult for him to interfere in the affairs of the Beggars' Sect. So, what he did before was all for this moment, right?"

"Mrs. Guo is very wise!" Feng Yi smiled slightly: "I know you have discussed my idea. I originally thought that it would be nice to be the leader of the Beggars' Sect!

But I know very well that before you took over the position of gang leader, old gang leader Hong had already favored Elder Lu. If I compete with him for it, even if I win, it will be difficult to convince the crowd.

Then let's just take advantage of the gathering of heroes to do this.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Fortunately, everyone is here to fight against the Mongols and serve the country. A bird cannot fly without a head, so Feng wants to be a bird head!"

"Master Feng!" Huang Rong smiled slightly: "I have always thought that you are a smart person, so a person like Fairy Li would also fall in love with you. Who would have thought that today, I would be very disappointed!"

"Oh? Would you like to hear more details?" Feng Yi raised his eyebrows.

A blush appeared on Li Mochou's pretty face, and her eyes were like fire as she stared at Huang Rong.

Huang Rong ignored her and just stared at Feng Yi, saying coldly: "As the saying goes, if things are not kept secret, they will not succeed! Especially when it comes to conspiracies, the fewer people who know about and participate in them, the better, so that it is likely to succeed.

Although I don't want to offend you, there are thousands of people here. Who can guarantee that there are no Mongolian spies among them? Even if you win, we will all obey your orders, so how can you succeed? "

Some of the more sensible people among the group of heroes knew that what Huang Rong said was the truth. It was not that they did not believe them, but that human hearts were unpredictable and things in the world were hard to predict.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Huang Rong finished speaking, Feng Yi burst into laughter, which sounded full of sarcasm.

Guo Fu was furious. She had never seen anyone so rude to her mother in her life. She drew her sword and shouted angrily, "Dad, you must teach this arrogant guy a lesson. If you don't, I can't bear it anymore!"

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

He is indeed a spoiled child.

Although Guo Jing is famous in the martial arts world, Feng Yi is not much behind, and the two are rivals.

That's why Huang Rong said that. Otherwise, it would be easy for Guo Jing to deal with Feng Yi.

It’s because Feng Yi’s martial arts are too high and he’s not sure!

But others understand her behavior.

Feng Yi saw that Guo Fu's cheeks were as red as peach blossoms due to anger, and her right hand holding the sword was shaking slightly. She also stopped laughing and said with a smile: "People say that Madam Guo is a wise woman with many tricks and is a female Zhuge Liang. After seeing her today, she is no better than this!"

"Oh?" Huang Rong frowned. "I don't deserve to be the female Zhuge Liang, but since you disagree, I would like to hear more about it!"

Feng Yi said proudly: "Although Feng has different ideas from you, I am not a demon who harms the world and is obsessed with killing.

I am going to Mongolia to poison the country only to stop Mongolia from invading Song, not to exterminate Mongolia.

If they learn the news and give up their intention to invade Song, that would be the best. Why should I damage the harmony of the world?

If they insist on doing so, then we will all be doomed! This is called "better die with honor than live in dishonor"! No matter if they fight back or what, the Central Plains is already empty. What's the point of seeing them get such a kingdom? What if we want to be prepared? Haha, Mongolia is vast, there are many water sources, people are not easy to kill, but there are many animals. As long as there are corpses, with poison, it will breed plague and sweep across Mongolia.

Even if they send people to guard them, they will be dispersed. They can't send thousands of people to guard them all at once, right? If so, it will be easier for us to defeat them one by one, so why should we be afraid of him knowing?

I want to see how many people the Mongols can spare! If we follow your idea and face the enemy head-on, and decide the outcome with swords and spears, not to mention the invincibility of the Mongolian cavalry, we will stand on the top of the city, and hundreds of their cannons will be fired at the same time. No matter how good our martial arts are, won’t they be destroyed sooner or later? "

Huang Rong frowned and said, "So, we have to have a big fight?"

Feng Yi smiled and said, "Boss Hong and Hero Guo have been kind and benevolent all their lives, and their ideas cannot be changed. If you agree, you have to listen to your husband, so this is the only way!

Moreover, after meeting with Mr. Guo the night before, I have been wanting to have a real showdown with him all the time. I hope Mr. Guo will be generous with his advice. "

Hong Qigong laughed and said, "It is common for fellow martial artists to ponder and verify each other.

"Feng is so kind, Jing'er, if you don't come, wouldn't you be letting him down?"

Huang Rong knew that at this moment, she had to resort to force, so she said, "Brother Jing, then you can verify it with Hero Feng!"

Someone in the crowd also said, "Master Guo, we can also broaden our horizons and see the skills of the best in the world!"

Guo Jing shook his head and said, "The way of martial arts is endless. How can I be considered the best in the world?"

When he said this, everyone was shocked.

Feng Yi laughed loudly: "Master Guo is very knowledgeable. The martial arts are as deep as the sea. There are many hidden talents in the world, and there are even better ones. How can there be a best in the world? The only thing we are fighting for is who gets to command!"

Guo Jing said, "Then I'd rather obey than be respectful!" Then he walked out of his seat and stood in the middle of the table.

When everyone saw Guo Jing standing up like this, they felt that he was like a deep pool and a towering mountain, with extraordinary momentum.

Feng Yi clapped his hands and laughed, "Excellent, excellent." He seemed to have turned into a paper man, and flew into the hall without touching the ground, only eight feet away from Guo Jing.

Feng Yi paused, clasped his fists and bowed, saying: "I am very lucky to have learned your skills today. However, this fight will not involve other people. If I win, the Beggars' Sect heroes must obey my orders and must not break their promises, let alone pretend to obey!"

Huang Rong understood the implication of his words and nodded, saying, "Okay, before the winner is decided, none of us will make things difficult for Li Mochou."

As for the affairs of the Beggars' Sect, Lu Youjiao is the new leader. If he were to agree, it would not only undermine Lu Youjiao's prestige, but also show that his power is still above that of the leader of the Beggars' Sect.

Lu Youjiao swung his bamboo stick, strode to the table, and said, "I am the new leader of the Beggars' Sect, Lu Youjiao. I once followed Hero Guo and his wife on the Western Expedition. If you can defeat Hero Guo, I will personally lead my disciples to accompany you to Mongolia. We will obey your orders and will never harbor any ulterior motives or disobey you in public!"

Feng Yi immediately clasped his fists and bowed, saying, "Boss Lu's words are as good as gold. I will learn from you!"

Suddenly, Guo Fu said, "If you lose, you have to obey my parents' orders. You can only go east and not west."

Li Mochou smiled and said calmly: "What's the point of that? We have to include you, Miss Guo!"

"Alright!" Feng Yi laughed: "If I lose, I'll listen to you, okay?"

Zhu Ziliu added: "But what if there is no winner and both sides suffer?"

There was a cry of surprise from the crowd, yes!

What if it’s like Li Mochou and Zhu Ziliu?

Feng Yi smiled faintly and said: "It's a matter of faith, there will be no victory or defeat!"

Everyone was shocked to hear him being so arrogant. Li Mochou's face changed and he blurted out, "How can we do this..."

Feng Yi said: "Although Mr. Guo is considered dull, I know he is very clear-headed.

He was loyal and respectful to his lover, generous and kind to his friends, and spent his life practicing "the greatest chivalrous man is one who serves his country and his people."

Even in troubled times, he was able to maintain firm and pure beliefs in life, caring about the life and death of the people of the world and the safety and well-being of the nation-state. He always put the suffering of the people first, and did so throughout, without regrets even if he died.

He lived his entire life to implement his own ideals and concepts. This is true insight.

And I live very clearly. I just don't want such a person to perish with the city, and eventually go to the road of martyrdom with his wife and daughter, and still be unable to change the fate of the Song Dynasty!

If this is the case, how can there be no victory or defeat? "

Everyone's heart sank when they heard this, and they were all stunned.

Before Huang Rong could open her mouth, she heard Guo Jing say sternly, "Thank you for your respect, Master Feng. Although you and I have different philosophies, this battle concerns national affairs and the safety of the dawn, so there must be a winner between you and me!"

Feng Yi smiled slightly: "I couldn't ask for more!" He took a step forward, and Guo Jing also took a step forward slowly.

For a moment, everyone held their breath and watched the two people, fearing that if they were careless, they would miss out on the exquisite moves of a pair of top masters. You could hear a pin drop in the hall.

After a while, neither of them made a move.

Guo Fu and the Wu brothers thought their master was invincible and couldn't stand watching him. Guo Fu asked, "Mom, why is Dad..."

Huang Rong glared at her and she had to shut up.

Feng Yi's eyes flashed with wisdom, and he shouted, "I'm sorry." He leaned forward, spread out his five fingers, and grabbed Guo Jing's shoulder.

Guo Jing raised his brows and said, "The divine claw that can break through!" Not daring to delay, he slapped forward with his palm.
