Chapter 103 Huang Rong's Aggrieved Feelings, Li Mochou with the Iron Sword
Three years ago, the Jin army launched a major invasion of Xiangyang.
Upon hearing the news, Guo Jing and Huang Rong rushed to defend the city, leading the martial arts community to cooperate with Zhao Fang, the military commissioner of Jinghu, and Meng Zongzheng in a fierce resistance.
At that time, Meng Zongzheng's son, Meng Gong, offered a plan, saying that the Jin army would surely conquer Fancheng and hoped that Meng Zongzheng would cross the river at Luojiadu. Just as the Song army was about to cross the river and set up their formation, the Jin army indeed arrived.
It was Huang Rong's Beggars' Sect disciples who first obtained the information and ascertained the Jin army's movements. Later, Guo Jing led the Beggars' Sect disciples to cooperate with Meng Zongzheng in a surprise attack while the Jin army was crossing the river, annihilating most of the invading Jin army.
Later, when Meng Zongzheng was rescuing Zaoyang, he was surrounded. Guo Jing once again led a group of skilled fighters to follow Meng Gong into the enemy ranks and rescue Meng Zongzheng.
Therefore, at this time in Xiangyang City, Guo Jing, although young, had a very high reputation and already had the demeanor of a grandmaster and leader of the martial arts world.
Because Huang Rong had given birth to her daughter Guo Fu and needed to stay in the city to care for her, her reputation wasn't widespread. People only knew that the Beggars' Sect had a female leader, but few had actually seen her. (In the original novel, Yang Guo was four to five years older than Guo Fu, but Jin Yong later reduced Yang Guo's age at the beginning of the story by two years, so the age gap is smaller.)
Huang Rong didn't mind.
Since Guo Jing left Mongolia with her, she has become less mischievous and started to consider Guo Jing's needs in everything she does. Now, Guo Jing's reputation is 80% due to her efforts, and she is naturally happy about it.
In the bright and carved pavilion, she dressed as a woman, her face still bearing the innocence of a young girl, yet already showing the loving tenderness of a new mother. Looking at her sleeping daughter in the cradle, she smiled gently, and then, as usual, began to read the major events of the martial arts world compiled by the Beggars' Sect.
Most of them are actually minor matters, such as which force has absorbed which force today, or which side has clashed with which side.
Most of these are inconspicuous.
until-
[When Wu Santong disrupted the wedding at the Lu Family Manor, a young man claiming to be "Wei Wu" appeared and severely injured the two monks as they tried to stop him.]
[Afterwards, Cao Cao met Master Yideng and Ci'en on the long street. He fought them both alone, killing Ci'en with a single blow and defeating Master Yideng decisively. He then headed towards Xiangyang.]
When Huang Rong first saw it, she recalled the old story of Wu Santong blocking Guo Jing and her in the past. Then she thought of the scandal of him being infatuated with her adopted daughter, and her face showed displeasure.
After quickly glancing at the intelligence, the delicate oval face lost all its smile, and a cunning glint appeared in its eyes, along with a calculating look on its snow-white face.
Just as Huang Rong was racking her brains, Guo Fu suddenly burst into a loud cry, interrupting her train of thought. She had to hurry to comfort her daughter. After changing her daughter's diaper, her mind was still a mess, and she felt a sharp pain in her chest.
I wanted Guo Fu to help out, but after the girl finished crying and fussing and I changed her diaper, she fell asleep again.
Left with no other choice, Huang Rong had to come up with her own solution.
The slightly fishy, sweet milk swept across her taste buds, but Huang Rong's face showed no sign of relief; instead, it was full of grievance, revealing a rare hint of vulnerability.
After everything was resolved, Huang Rong was so exhausted she almost fell asleep in her chair. Upon seeing the intelligence report, she let out a soft burp, pushed it onto the table, and said, "Never mind, let it be!"
"They might not necessarily be here to see Brother Jing—"
Wei Wu was not there to see Guo Jing; his goal was very clear: he wanted to see Huang Rong, the leader of the Beggars' Sect.
Among the elders of the Beggars' Sect, the one Huang Rong trusted the most was Lu Youjiao, the elder of the Dirty Clothes Sect. Although his martial arts skills were not high, he was extremely loyal.
-
Seeing that Wei Wu spoke with a gentle smile, yet harbored a domineering air between his brows, he became more cautious. He replied with neither servility nor arrogance, "Do you have a past relationship with Chief Huang?"
We've never met before.
"Was it introduced by an elder over there?"
"Never."
"Having neither kinship nor kinship, isn't it a bit too much for you to demand an audience with the Beggars' Sect leader?"
Having ascertained the details, Lu Youjiao breathed a sigh of relief. His expression grew even more solemn, his stern face carrying a hint of reprimand. "Even if you wish to see him, you must first go to see Master Guo. If he agrees, he will naturally take you to see Chief Huang, not to us!"
Wei Wu remained unperturbed, but Li Mochou raised an eyebrow and retorted sharply, "We're looking for the Beggars' Sect leader. Does that mean Guo Jing is your sect's chief eunuch? Do we have to see him first to see your leader?"
Given Guo Jing's reputation among the martial arts community in Xiangyang, Li Mochou's insult to him immediately drew the attention of many people who stepped forward to rebuke him.
In the past, Li Mochou would never have dared to be so arrogant.
But with Wei Wu's guidance along the way, Li Mochou had learned a lot of martial arts and was brimming with confidence. As soon as she saw someone jump out, she immediately drew her sword with joy—this was the Mochou Sword that she had had reforged by a blacksmith. Although it was not a sword that could cut through iron like mud, it was still a first-class sharp sword.
At first, the people in the martial arts world were just indignant, but now that they saw Li Mochou dare to draw her sword, they also felt a desire to teach her a lesson.
A man with a long, flowing beard, wearing a tall hat and wide belt, emerged from the crowd. Resembling a middle-aged scholar from ancient times, he held a judge's pen in his hand and stroked his beard with one hand, saying, "I am Zhu Ziliu. I have a long-standing relationship with my two young friends, Guo and Huang. That woman, if you can defeat me even once or twice, I will put in a good word for you and let you meet Chief Huang, how about that?"
Li Mochou retorted angrily, "Old scholar, what arrogance! Take this!"
The Jade Maiden Sword Technique she originally practiced was mainly light and agile, aiming to defeat the enemy without causing injury. However, if it were to be used against the Quanzhen Sword Technique, it would be a top-notch martial art, enough to make the Quanzhen Taoists struggle to defend themselves.
However, when facing other opponents, his sword techniques are not even third-rate, and can only be described as "strange".
Cao Cao then taught Li Mochou the Songyang Iron Sword.
The Songyang Iron Sword is not fast, but its advantage lies in its fierce momentum. Once it gains the upper hand, it will seize the initiative in every move. Its sharp sword energy is enough to put the opponent in a life-or-death dilemma.
Although Zhu Ziliu had the intention to teach a lesson, he was an upright and gentlemanly man and naturally would not take credit for it. He still harbored the thought of letting Li Mochou make three moves.
Unfortunately, this very act of "giving way" caused him to lose the initiative!
Li Mochou took a step forward, and the Ancient Tomb Lightness Skill was mainly based on agility. Her figure appeared beside Zhu Ziliu like a startled swan. She slashed out with her sword diagonally, and the cold silver light splashed out like a waterfall. Originally from bottom to top, the tip of the sword pointed down at Zhu Ziliu's shoulder.
Zhu Ziliu had never seen such a bizarre move before.
Moreover, his attack was aimed straight for the shoulder, clearly intending to break the arm. He let out a low growl, sweeping his judge's pen across the character "一" (one), and shouted, "What a vicious brat!"
Ding-dong!
The judge's pen narrowly deflected Mo Chou's sword.
Unexpectedly, the sword tip, like a venomous snake probing its tongue, circled around and struck directly at Zhu Ziliu's vital point, startling him into a cold sweat. Within three or five exchanges, Zhu Ziliu felt sweat pouring down his face. Shocked and furious, his face already flushed, he shouted, "Enough!"
With a single stroke, Li Mochou was swept away. His face turned from blue to red, and his hand holding the judge's pen trembled violently. He was clearly furious and wanted to kill someone, but he still sighed. The station chief slapped himself twice on the face, one on each side, and said angrily, "I lost! Elder Lu, please inform Brother Guo and introduce him to me."
It was my fault, Zhu Ziliu, who was useless. I'll apologize to him later!
After saying this, Zhu Ziliu felt ashamed and hurriedly left, covering his face.
