Chapter 151: Extracellular Branches

Feng Yi was thinking as he walked. From the words of passers-by, he heard that the Mongolian army was attacking Xiangyang fiercely, so that countless people from the martial arts world rushed to help without stopping.

Feng Yi sighed secretly, the Song Dynasty has never lacked people with lofty ideals who are willing to sacrifice, but why can't it defeat Mongolia?

But after all, he was not a great talent with broad vision. Although he had some superficial understanding of the demise of the Song Dynasty, he also knew that even if he wanted to change the bad policies that he knew about, he was powerless.

Because this is not a problem that can be solved by just a touch of the lips; it requires a lot of talent and time to work hard.

However, talent and time are what the Song Dynasty lacks most.

One day, Feng Yi walked until the sun set. He sat down on a rock beside the road, took out a pot of wine, took a sip, lay down, crossed his legs, and enjoyed the afterglow of the sunset.

After a while, there was a burst of giggles on the road, soft and charming. Feng Yi opened his eyes and looked, and saw three horses coming towards him, with the riders being a man and two women.

A woman dressed in black, very beautiful, was Wanyan Ping, who had assassinated Yelu Chucai in the past.

The other man and woman turned out to be Yelu Qi's siblings. Feng Yi thought to himself: "Sure enough, any deep hatred can be forgotten." As he said that, he started to drink.

As the three of them were chatting and laughing, they also saw a man lying on the hill not far away, holding a gourd in his hand and drinking. At this time, against the setting sun, he looked like a down-and-out man.

The three of them felt that they were in the same situation and wanted to make friends with him, so they immediately dismounted and ran over. However, when Feng Yi turned around, they were shocked and ashamed when they saw him.

Feng Yi killed Yelu Zhu, the brother of the Yelu siblings. How could he not be shocked by such an unrivaled enemy?

Wanyan Ping was being intimate with Yang Guo, but Feng Yi saw it all. Now she was chatting and laughing with Yelu Qi, so she couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

Yelu Qi was the first to come to his senses. He bowed and said, "It's true that we meet everywhere in life. How are you, Mr. Feng?"

Feng Yi saw that he was calm, as if he was not facing the enemy who wanted to kill his brother, and said calmly: "Thank you for your concern, but you are all so proud of each other after we parted ways!"

Yelu Qi sighed, and suddenly his face showed melancholy. He said calmly: "Master Feng, you are joking. It is hard to say whether you are proud or not. But it is also refreshing to get rid of the worry in one day."

Feng Yi turned his gaze to Wan Yan Ping and said with a smile: "That's true."

Yelu Yan treated Wanyan Ping as her sister-in-law, but she had always wanted to avenge her father's death. Now, she was chatting and laughing with the Yelu brothers and sisters, and her worries naturally went away.

Yelu Qi bowed and said, "I will take my leave now."

He didn't have much dealings with Feng Yi, but he knew that this person was extremely paranoid. He killed people without distinguishing between good and evil, only based on their stance, and wanted to leave.

"Come on!" Feng Yi stood up and said with a smile, "You said that people will meet each other everywhere in life, but I think it's not that enemies don't get together. I killed your brother, and I want to kill your father. Are you going to leave without revenge?"

Yeluyan snorted and said, "Feng, stop talking nonsense. If we could beat you, we would have avenged my brother long ago."

Feng Yi smiled slightly: "Are all the people in the Yelu family cowards who are greedy for life and afraid of death?"

Yelu Yanjiao's face turned cold and she said, "So, you are deliberately making things difficult for us?"

Feng Yi snorted coldly and said, "Intentionally? You think too highly of yourself, but since Yelu Chucai is dead, why is your brother still alive?"

After hearing this, the three of them were horrified.

Yelu Qi's father, Yelu Chucai, was a member of the Khitan royal family. In order to avenge the Jurchen Jin Dynasty's destruction of the Liao Dynasty, he served as prime minister under Genghis Khan and Ogedei Khan. However, he was dismissed for his loyalty and went against the Queen's wishes. Yelu Qi protected his mother and sister and fled to the Southern Dynasty, becoming a refugee heading south, no different from ordinary people in the Song Dynasty.

But this happened not long ago, how could he know about it? But since Feng Yi said so, their situation was already very dangerous.

Therefore, Yelu Qi made a prompt decision and whispered, "Hurry up and leave!"

Yeluyan cried out, pressing his hand on the hilt of his sword, "No, we live and die together, and we advance and retreat together. You can't get rid of me!"

Wanyan Ping curled her lips and said, "Sister Yan is right. We advance and retreat together, so why should we be afraid of him?"

Feng Yi's eyes were like lightning. He squinted at Wan Yanping and said, "This is a matter between me and the Yelu family. Are you sure you want to get involved?"

Wanyan Ping said: "As long as it is Brother Yelu's business, it is related to me. What do you mean by meddling in it?"

Feng Yi smiled and said, "So, the young lady and Master Yelu are in a relationship?"

Wanyan Ping sneered: "He once sacrificed his life for me, so I must repay him, but it has nothing to do with love!"

After hearing this, Yelu Qi stared at Wanyan Ping in a daze, feeling confused.

Feng Yi said calmly: "Although I can understand that the King of Xiang has a dream but the Goddess has no intention, but from the tone of your voice, if I want to kill Yelu Qi, will you fight me to the death?"

Wanyan Ping said, "Seeing injustice on the road, we should help others with our swords. This is the duty of martial artists like us. You killed someone's elder brother, but instead of seeking revenge on you, they came to make friends with you. Yet you harbor evil intentions. Is there any reason for this in the world?"

Feng Yi said coldly: "Women's views, do you know that those who are not of my race must have different hearts?"

"When your Jin Dynasty destroyed the Liao Dynasty, a man named Yelu served as a minister in your Jin Dynasty. Later, when the Mongols became powerful, Yelu Chucai defected to Temujin. He gave him advice, conquered cities, and pacified the rear, becoming an important official in both dynasties.

Now Yelu Chucai is being ostracized by the Mongol queen, but Kublai Khan shares his political views. Once he takes power, the Yelu family will regain its glory. For safety reasons, how can Yelu Qi not die? "

He spoke so eloquently that Yelu Qi and Wanyan Ping were speechless.

Yeluyan couldn't help but ask, "Is this why you want to kill us?"

Feng Yi smiled and said, "Isn't this enough? But I, Feng Yi, don't like killing women. You can go, but your brother must die!" He thought, "This guy might be the foreshadowing of Guo Jing and Huang Rong's failure in resisting the Mongols and the death of the city. How can he not die?"

Feng Yi knew very well that according to history, Yelu Chucai held a high position of power when Genghis Khan and Ogedei Khan were Khans. Later, when Ogedei's queen Toregene was regent, she excluded Yelu Chucai, leading to his death.

At that time, Kublai Khan was just a prince and could not help, but he also inherited Yelu Chucai's political legacy.

This led to Mongke's accession to the throne, where he discovered that Kublai had many talented people under his command and had established great prestige, posing a great challenge to his imperial power.

Therefore, Mengge launched a strike against Kublai Khan. However, most of Kublai Khan's followers were talented people who had received favors from Yelu Chucai or were promoted by him, so this strike did not go deep.

Mengge then launched a war to invade the Song Dynasty. As long as he destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, he would become the ruler of the Central Plains, and Kublai Khan would not be able to develop. However, he lost his life.

This led to Kublai Khan's successful ascension to the throne. After he had dealt with Ariq Boke and secured his throne, he invaded the Song Dynasty again.

As a result, the city of Xiangyang, which had resisted several Mongolian attacks for decades, finally surrendered. This is true history, but there are no such people as Guo Jing and Huang Rong in history.

In the current Condor Heroes world, there is Guo Jing. How could he surrender? Only if he dies first, will the generals defending the city surrender.

But Guo Jing was in Xiangyang City. With his martial arts skills, how could he die? In the original plot, when Yang Guo and Master Jinlun formed an alliance to deal with Guo Jing, Kublai Khan repeatedly sent warriors to assassinate him, but all failed. Some were captured or died, and no one was returned.

After all, with Guo Jing's martial arts, to kill him, only the closest person could do it secretly! So who is the closest person who can do it?

Feng Yi thought about it and felt that Yelu Qifang was the most likely candidate.

Feng Yi thought about it, waved his hand, and the Shadowless Divine Fist came out.

Yelu Qi knew that Feng Yi was a highly skilled martial artist, so he was always on guard. He noticed that his eyes were wandering, and he knew that he was already filled with energy. As soon as he saw Feng Yi raise his hand, he immediately blocked it with both palms, and felt a huge force rushing up at him, and his chest suddenly felt hot. Feng Yi saw that he reacted so quickly, so he praised him, shook his body, and slapped his left hand on the top of his head.

Yelu Qi is a martial arts expert with strong internal strength, but he is far inferior to Feng Yi. He immediately endured the discomfort, flipped his right palm, and used the move "Hongyun Supporting the Moon" to block the opponent's powerful palm.

With a bang, Yelu Qi felt the opponent's strength surging like a tide. His face turned red, his feet went soft, and he fell to his knees with a thud.

Yelu Yan was immediately filled with anger. With a "whoosh", he drew out his sword and stabbed Feng Yi's wrist with a "slanting wind and drizzle" move.

Feng Yi didn't even look at it, and flicked out his middle finger. The sword body trembled, and Yelu Yan felt a sharp pain in his mouth, and the sword in his hand flew straight into the sky.

Feng Yi lightly kicked Yeluyan in the abdomen. The woman groaned and flew more than a foot away.

Yelu Qi was no longer able to resist. Seeing his sister being kicked away, he was about to muster up the courage to fight back, but Feng Yi's second palm power attacked again.

In an instant, Yelu Qili felt as if a thousand pounds of gravity was pressing down on him. His eyes went dark and he fell to the ground.

Feng Yi raised his foot to step on him. He was determined not to let the man live this time. Suddenly, he saw a flash of cold light in front of his eyes. Wanyan Ping came with a knife. Yelu Qi took the opportunity to roll sideways and rolled away, but blood spurted out of his mouth.

Feng Yi said coldly, "You don't know what's good for you!" With a flick of his sleeve, Wanyan Ping immediately felt a strong force coming towards her. She couldn't help but somersault backwards. When she landed, she felt hot all over and suddenly shouted, "You are so unreasonable, why don't you just die?"

Feng Yi snorted, "When your Jin Kingdom destroyed my Song Dynasty and slaughtered my people, did you ever talk about reason?"

Wanyan Ping was speechless for a moment.

Feng Yi's eyes turned and said, "Yelü Qi, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for meeting me!" He suddenly pushed out with his palm.

Yelu Qi crossed his fists and lightly rushed forward, but he did not expect that Feng Yi's palm was a feint, and halfway through, it suddenly sank and landed on Yelu Qi's lower abdomen.

Yelu Qi was startled and stepped back more than a meter with his feet. His movements were so swift that it was the Quanzhen Sect's Golden Goose Skill.

Feng Yi smiled slightly: "Okay!" He raised his hand and was about to strike with the air splitting palm, but he heard the sound of horse hooves, and then someone shouted: "Master Feng, wait a minute."

The internal force was very strong. Feng Yi looked in the direction of the sound and saw six or seven riders galloping towards him. Feng Yi recognized the leader as Zhen Zhibing, a disciple of Qiu Chuji of Quanzhen Sect. He was quite puzzled and wondered what their purpose was.

And they must have seen Yelü Qi's Quanzhen martial arts. How should this man be killed properly? In fact, Feng Yi wanted to kill Yelü Qi not only because according to the so-called historical trajectory, but also according to Jin Yong's worldview, after Yelü Chucai died, Kublai Khan actually disobeyed the Queen's order and did not arrest Yelü Qi and other family members.

After Yelu Qi hooked up with Guo Fu in the Central Plains, he became the leader of the Beggars' Sect and seemed to be resisting Mongolia.

But he was resisting the Mongols ruled by Mongke. When Kublai Khan came to power and attacked Xiangyang, the city was broken.

Moreover, Guo Xiang was far away in Xichuan at that time and could not make it back in time. Although Feng Yi thought that Guo Xiang was love-brained, she was not a bad person who had no parents or brothers in her heart.

This is enough to show that the fall of Xiangyang City came too suddenly, which was faster than she expected.

Furthermore, Guo Xiang's disciple, Nun Miejue, actually had an elder sister named Guo Fu, who was reckless and violent by nature, in front of her disciple Zhou Zhiruo.

If Guo Xiang had not said this to her disciple Feng Ling, and then to her disciple Miejue, how could Miejue have said this to her own disciple Zhou Zhiruo? You have to know that at that time, she was forcing Zhou Zhiruo to do this with her master's seniority. Was she really not afraid that her disciple would follow suit? You are disrespectful to your elder sister, so why should I listen to you? All this is enough to show that Guo Xiang has a great grudge against her sister Guo Fu. This grudge may be because she cut off the arm of her beloved Yang Guo, but it may also be because she found a husband and felt sorry for the Guo family.

After all, both the Wu family and the Zhu family have descendants who remain in the world and are active in the world of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, but the Guo family has no descendants except Guo Xiang.

You should know that Guo Polu was already thirty years old when Xiangyang City fell.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Given all these factors, it is entirely possible that Yelu Qi was a traitor, or in other words, he was actually a person planted in Song by Kublai Khan.

Stay silent and wait for the critical moment to see the miraculous results!

When is the key? That is naturally when the great Emperor Kublai Khan conquered the Song Dynasty and annihilated the Song Dynasty in one fell swoop. It is in accordance with the will of heaven and the will of man. The destiny is in my hands!

Therefore, Feng Yi believes that the appearance of the character Yelu Qi in The Return of the Condor Heroes was a hook for Guo Jing and Huang Rong's failure in resisting the Mongols.

After all, Guo Jing not only has the most powerful martial arts in the world, and Huang Rong is not only smart and wise, they also have the Wu Mu Testament, which embodies the crystallization of the military tactics of the Martial Saint Yue Wu Mu.

But it still failed just like in history. Mongolia defeated not only Guo Jing and Huang Rong, but also Yue Fei!

Is it just the wheel of history, the effect of destiny?

Feng Yi didn't quite believe it. After all, in Jin Yong's world, Zhang Wuji was deprived of his kingdom by Zhu Yuanzhang through poison and conspiracy! Qiao Feng was forced to shed blood at Yanmen Pass by Yelu Hongji, which was also caused by poison and conspiracy! Then what about Guo Jing? Wouldn't he also be harmed by conspiracy? As for the fact that Yelu Qi had a good reputation in the Beggars' Sect during the Yitian period, he should not have surrendered to the enemy. Feng Yi didn't think it was true.

This is because the Beggars' Sect, a large gang that has been famous for hundreds of years, attaches the most importance to its reputation. For example, when Qiao Feng was initially wrongly accused of killing the deputy gang leader Ma Dayuan, the elders of the Beggars' Sect learned that this was due to the affair between the gang's elder Bai Shijing and Kang Min, and that the gang's elder Xu was also slept with by Kang Min. Only then did they invite Shan Zheng, Tan Gong and Tan Po and other martial arts heroes to expose Qiao Feng's life experience and force him to abdicate.

After the elders of the Beggars' Sect learned about these things, some of them suggested that Qiao Feng should be cleared of his name and should not be allowed to suffer such unjust accusations and insults and ridicule from the world of martial arts.

However, some elders believed that Qiao Feng's reputation alone was not as important as that of the Beggars' Sect.

If he cleared the matter up for him and let his fellow jianghu people know that the dignified Beggars' Sect was manipulated by a woman, not only did she use the strict law enforcement elders to kill the deputy leader, but also the "Ten Direction Scholar" Quan Guanqing, who was both civil and martial, stole the leader's folding fan and framed him, and even dragged the elders who had retired for a long time into the water, thus forcing the leader of the sect to abdicate! Once this scandal spreads, how can the disciples of the Beggars' Sect have the face to gain a foothold in the jianghu?

Everyone was too ashamed to face others, and because of this thought, they kept the matter secret and refused to clarify it for Qiao Feng.

After hearing all this, Qiao Feng became truly disheartened and felt that all the brotherhood and loyalty in the martial arts world was bullshit. It was only after he became the King of the Southern Court that he felt at ease and free of any psychological burden!

Feng Yi knew this very well, so even if Yelu Qi was a traitor, the Beggars' Sect would never admit it, nor would they let the matter spread. Therefore, he had already made up his mind to kill Yelu Qi.

As for if I had a mean mind, I guessed wrong.

I can’t care about that!

Not to mention the countless innocent Han people who were killed by the Khitan and Mongolians over the years, there are countless famous ministers and wise men who have been wrongly killed throughout history. Compared with them, what is a mere Yelu Qi? Moreover, looking at Yelu Qi throughout the Condor Heroes, he did not make any contribution. It seems that he only wanted to marry Guo Fu and become the leader of the gang.

Such a person's death would have no effect! But now that he saw the Quanzhen Sect's people, Feng Yi knew that he had to have a reason to do so! There were seven riders in total. In addition to the leader who was leading the way, the other six riders were one on each side, and the four riders behind were vaguely arranged in formation.

There is a distance of five steps between each horse, as if measured with a ruler. This does not hinder their movements and allows them to look after each other. Feng Yi sees that this is the formation of the "Tian Gang Bei Dou Formation".

In the blink of an eye, the cavalry arrived. The leader Zhen Zhibing waved his hand, and the cavalry stopped in unison ten steps away from Feng Yi and others, and the seven of them dismounted together.

Feng Yi saw that they were all middle-aged Taoists, and should be third-generation disciples. He only recognized Zhen Zhibing and Zhao Zhijing, but did not recognize the other five.

But after not seeing Zhen Zhibing for many days, his face became sallow and his body became emaciated. He didn't know whether it was because he had damaged his male function or because he was thinking about Xiao Longnu.

Although Yelu Qi didn't know them, he had already vaguely guessed the origins of these seven people. However, he didn't know that they actually knew Feng Yi and what their relationship was like!

Zhen Zhibing and others first looked at Yelu Qi, then at Yelu Yan and Wanyan Ping, and finally slowly fell on Feng Yi.

Zhen Zhibing bowed and said, "Master Feng, please come in. I wonder why you had a conflict with a few people?"

Feng Yi said calmly: "Where are you going?"

They were making things more complicated and Feng Yi was quite rude, but he asked as if it was natural.

Zhen Zhibing smiled and said, "We are following the orders of Master Liu and Master Qiu to go to Xiangyang to meet with Hero Guo and Gang Leader Huang to discuss important matters."

Feng Yi nodded and said, "Is it about the Mongolian invasion of Song?"

Zhen Zhibing nodded and said, "That's right!"

It turned out that the reason why Hao Datong, Sun Buer and Zhen Zhibing and Zhao Zhijing were sent to participate in the last Heroes Conference was because of this.

It was because Ma Yu was seriously ill and Qiu Chuji and other disciples were helping him recover and were unable to attend the meeting.

As a result, Hao Datong and Sun Buer were driven away by Yang Guo and were unable to participate in the event. When they returned to Quanzhen Sect, Ma Yu had already passed away. Qiu Chuji learned that the Mongolian army was attacking Xiangyang and that he must not sacrifice public affairs for personal gain, so he sent Zhen Zhibing, Zhao Zhijing and seven others to Xiangyang to find out the information and report back.

The two sides agreed that the Quanzhen Sect could follow the Mongolian army and kill soldiers and generals, burn and loot food supplies, and provide support to the Song Dynasty in order to contain the Mongolian army from moving south.

Several people saw the fight from afar. Yelu Qi was using Quanzhen martial arts, so they naturally stopped them.

At this time, Yeluyan suddenly jumped up from the ground, swung her sword suddenly, and stabbed Feng Yi again. She was just choked by Feng Yi's kick.

Yelu Qi said anxiously: "Sister Yan, stop it!"

Yelu Yan put down the sword as he was told, but he was still furious. He stood four feet away from Feng Yi with the sword across his body, looking angry.

The Quanzhen disciples saw her stand up and draw the sword quickly and skillfully, and knew that she was using Quanzhen martial arts.

Zhao Zhijing then asked, "Girl, who is your master?"

Yeluyan said: "My martial arts were taught by my brother!"

Zhao Zhijing glanced at Yelu Qi and said, "I wonder what your name is, and who is your master?"

Yelu Qi smiled slightly and said, "I am Yelu Qi. I am also a disciple of Quanzhen Sect. As for the name of my master, I cannot reveal it."

It turned out that Yelu Qi had met Zhou Botong twelve years ago. At that time, he was still young and got along well with Zhou Botong, so the old naughty boy accepted him as his apprentice.

Although the martial arts he was taught were not many, Yelu Qi was intelligent and determined, and he practiced very diligently, and he became an outstanding figure among the younger generation.

Zhou Botong saw that his martial arts skills were improving day by day and his behavior was becoming more and more proper, not like the naughty boy at all when they first met. He could not learn the kung fu of fighting with both hands, so he felt that it was not interesting and did not allow him to call himself the direct disciple of the old naughty boy.

The Quanzhen disciples saw that Yelu Qi had broad shoulders, a straight waist, long limbs, and a unique aura in his every move. His retreat just now was truly extraordinary.

But he was too young, only in his twenties. Logically, he should be a fourth-generation disciple of the "Qing" generation, and his master should be of the same generation as them. However, he said that it was not convenient to reveal his master's name.

When did Quanzhen Sect have such rules?

Zhao Zhijing's expression suddenly changed, his eyes gleamed with brilliance, and he said coldly: "Boy, you are not stealing my martial arts, so you can't tell me your master, right?"

Yelu Qi thought to himself, "If I tell you my master's name, you will still be my juniors." He said, "My master has warned me again and again, and I dare not disobey him. Please forgive me, Taoist priest."

Feng Yi chuckled and said, "Okay, stop pretending. Your master doesn't allow you to call yourself his disciple, but you call yourself a Quanzhen disciple. Isn't that asking people from Quanzhen Sect to guess who your master is? If you meet a knowledgeable and smart person, who can't guess?"

The Quanzhen disciples' faces turned purple, and they glared at Feng Yi with anger in their eyes. Wasn't this scolding them for being ignorant and not smart enough? Yelu Qi said awkwardly, "I don't mean to be mysterious, but my master doesn't allow me to consider myself his disciple, and as a disciple, I must not forget my roots."

Feng Yi laughed and said, "You have a point. I'll say it for you. Not only are you the son of the Mongolian Prime Minister, you have also learned martial arts from the Quanzhen Sect elder Zhou Botong."

"What?"

"Are you serious?"

The Quanzhen disciples had never expected this. They stared at Yelu Qi with surprise evident in their expressions.
