Li Yi shook his head and said," Just because he scolded you doesn't mean he's not worried about you, understand? If he really wasn't worried about you, he would ignore you and wouldn't even say a word to you. Perhaps you should stand in his shoes and think about why he scolded you.”
When Huang Rong heard this, she was a little impatient at first, but after thinking about it carefully, it made sense. She lowered her head and pondered for a moment before looking up at Li Yi and saying," Perhaps you're right, but I've decided not to go back. He scolded me all the time. Hmph, I just want to make him anxious for a while. Wouldn't it be too easy for him if I go back too early? Wait until I'm done playing outside. This is the first time I'm leaving home, so I must have enough fun.”
Li Yi laughed." You? Aren't you worried that something might happen to your father when he gets angry? It's best to go back and take a look."
Huang Rong did not know why, but she felt a little reluctant to leave. Hearing Li Yi's words made her feel very uncomfortable. She said," Hmph, who cares? Since you don't want me to stay here, I'll leave."”After saying that, he threw down his chopsticks and stood up to leave.
Li Yi reached out and grabbed Huang Rong's hand." Hehe, don't be angry. Why don't I go with you?"”
Huang Rong wanted to get rid of his hand, but she couldn't. Her face was red as she said," You, let go." Who, who wants to go back with you? You're such a scoundrel.”
Li Yi laughed and said," I've been waiting for you for more than two years. Now that I've finally seen you, do you think I'll let you leave alone so easily? Moreover, the area had been a little unstable recently! For example, that Ouyang Ke…"
Huang Rong immediately frowned. She did not care that her little hand was still in the other party's hand. She immediately sat down and said," Are you talking about Ouyang Ke, the nephew of Western Poison Ouyang Feng? What happened to him?"
Li Yi pursed his lips and smiled disdainfully." What else can I do? He had brought a few maidservants from White Camel Mountain to make trouble and capture beautiful girls to bring back for fun. Two days ago, I met him once and crippled the martial arts of his four personal maids. However, this guy is very cunning. He escaped without paying attention. Hmph, he might have escaped to find his uncle Ouyang Feng these two days.”
A trace of disgust flashed across Huang Rong's face. At the same time, she was shocked." How could you let him escape? This is going to be troublesome. Ouyang Feng is not someone to be trifled with."”
Li Yi smiled and said," I know that too. That's why I'm preparing to leave this place."”
Huang Rong said,"You, where are you going?" Why don't you come with me to my house? My house is safe.”
Li Yi shook his head and said," I'm not going for the time being. I recently heard about a treasure. As long as I eat that treasure, hehe, my skills will increase rapidly. By then, even if I encounter Ouyang Feng, I won't be unable to escape even if I can't beat him.”
Huang Rong's interest was piqued. What treasure? Where is it?"
Li Yi chuckled and said," The Jin Kingdom's prince, Wanyan Honglie, has a few martial artists under him. They are Reverend Lingzhi, Sha Tongtian, Peng Lianhu, and Liang Ziweng." The treasure I want is in Liang Ziweng's residence. Hehe! How about it? Are you going or not?"
Huang Rong giggled and said," Of course I'll go and join in the fun.”
Li Yi nodded and said," Alright, then we'll set off today. Wait for me to settle the bill, then we'll go to the Central Capital, Beijing, and have a good time."”
Huang Rong said happily," Alright, I'll listen to Brother Xiaoyao."”
Li Yi smiled and walked towards Shopkeeper Wang at the counter. He chatted with him for a while before settling the bill. Under the reluctant gazes of Shopkeeper Wang and the waiter, he left on horseback with Huang Rong. Cough, of course they would be reluctant. They were afraid that something would go wrong if they stayed too long. Now that he was leaving, it meant that a fixed cash cow was leaving. How could he bear to do so?
Although Beijing was occupied by the Great Jin Kingdom, it was still quite lively. He accompanied Huang Rong to the Central Capital. Although Huang Rong was very smart, she was only twelve or thirteen years old. It was her first time going out, so everything she saw was interesting. Li Yi was rather fresh about this era. In the three years since he came to this era, he had been busy practicing his martial arts and waiting for Huang Rong to appear. He had never traveled around before, and now he was also playing around with Huang Rong in high spirits.
Although Huang Rong was extremely smart, it was her first time going out, so she did not have much experience in Jianghu. Along the way, as Li Yi fully displayed his ability to bluff, Huang Rong gradually began to like him and was unwilling to leave him for even a step. Back when Li Yi was watching the Legend of the Condor Heroes, he was envious of that silly kid Guo Jing. Guo Jing had done a lot of wrong things when he was young. According to the eyes of modern women, she would probably be angered to death by him. If it weren't for Huang Rong's insistence, the two of them wouldn't have made it to the end. Therefore, Li Yi's current mission was to keep Huang Rong's heart. No matter what happened in the future, she would always be his. He had to admit that this fellow was quite shrewd. Cough cough…
Suddenly, he heard a commotion in front of him. Cheers were endless. Looking from afar, there was a large group of people surrounding him. He did not know what they were watching. Little Rong 'er was extremely curious, so she pulled Li Yi and squeezed inside. There was an empty space in the middle. There was a silk banner on the ground. There were red flowers on the white background and the words "Joust For A Spouse" were embroidered on it. Two people were fighting under the banner. One was a young girl in red and the other was a tall man.
On the stage, the red-dressed girl was fighting with a man. After a few moves, the red-dressed girl showed an opening and was exposed. The burly man was overjoyed. He used the "Twin Flood Dragons Out of the Cave" and punched out with both fists, aiming straight for the other party's chest. The young girl's body tilted slightly and she immediately slid away. Her left arm swept out and hit the burly man's back with a bang.
The burly man couldn't hold back and fell forward. He was covered in dust and dirt. He got up, his face full of shame. He turned around and left. The onlookers cheered.
The girl brushed her hair and retreated to the flagpole. Looking at the young girl carefully, he saw that she was about sixteen or seventeen years old. She was elegant and graceful. Although her face was covered in dust, she had bright eyes, white teeth, and a beautiful appearance.
The young girl whispered a few words to a middle-aged man beside her. The man nodded and bowed to everyone. He said in a clear voice,"My name is Mu Yi, from Shandong. When I passed by your place, I didn't seek fame or wealth. I only wanted to see my daughter, who has already reached the age of 18, but has yet to marry into a family…"
The man with the alias Mu Yi was Yang Tiexin. He was tall and sturdy, but his back was slightly hunched. His temples were white, and his face was full of wrinkles. He wore a coarse cotton jacket with patches on it. The young girl was dressed much better.
Li Yi stood where he was and looked at the girl with interest and admiration. He laughed to himself,'Mu Nianci, since I've met her, I won't give her to that bastard Yang Kang. Hmph.''Suddenly, he felt a grip on his hand. He lowered his head to take a look and realized that Little Rong 'er was looking at him with a gloomy expression, her face full of jealousy.
Li Yi smiled in his heart and asked," Rong 'er, what's wrong?”
Huang Rong said angrily,"Tell me, do you like her?"”
Li Yi chuckled to himself. He knew that he could only go along with the flow at this moment. He smiled and said," Of course not. I just admire her." Look at that uncle. He looked so sad as if he had been wronged. As for the young girl, although she was young, her face was covered in dust. One look and one could tell that she was from a poor family. You don't want them to fall into the hands of those shameless people, right? Look at this person who's going up now. He looks like a golden man. What do you think will happen to that girl if she falls into their hands?”
Huang Rong turned around and saw a young man with red lips and white teeth. He was wearing a luxurious golden costume and had a wicked smile on his face. He seemed to be flirting with the young girl. Hence, she didn't think about being jealous anymore and quickly said," Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and beat that guy away. Hmph, his face is just short of saying that he's a bad guy. He's just like that Ouyang Ke. I hate him just by looking at him.”
Li Yi chuckled and said," Alright, don't regret it later. Don't leave. I'll be right back."”He jumped onto the arena.
Huang Rong was stunned at first, but then she immediately came to her senses and scolded herself. If he were to go up to the Joust For A Spouse, wouldn't he be sending a son-in-law to the other party? Aiya, this bad guy fell for his trick again. Hmph, I'll deal with you later.”She looked up at the arena and pouted, her face full of displeasure.
On his way to the Central Capital, he had encountered countless bandits. That was right. This era was already in chaos. First, the Jin people occupied half of the Song Dynasty. Then, there was the rise of the Mongol Temujin. In addition, the Song Emperor had countless treacherous officials under him. The power of the country was already shaken. Not only did he not sympathize with the people, but he also worsened the situation, making the lives of the people even more difficult. Therefore, the appearance of bandits became a matter of course.
Huang Rong only realized that Li Yi's martial arts were truly impressive after he had cleared out the bandits. He could easily kill a person with a single punch. He was at least a second-rate to first-rate expert. Of course, that was in terms of techniques. In reality, Li Yi's internal strength was only at the level of a third-rate expert. The small scene of the Joust For A Spouse was not enough for Li Yi. What's more, he was facing Wanyan Kang who practiced Quan Zhen mental cultivation method and hadn't mastered the Nine Yin White Bone Claw.
Li Yi jumped onto the stage and looked at Wanyan Kang who was playing with Mu Nianci."Hey, kid, are you trying to find a spouse or are you teasing a good girl?"”
Wanyan Kang was stunned. He looked at Li Yi, who was as handsome as him and had a noble temperament. His mischievous expression suddenly became serious. His eyes flickered for a while. Then, he cupped his hands and said,"I don't know brother's name, and where are you from?"”
Li Yi pursed his lips and asked," What? You want to know my background?" He smiled and nodded at Mu Nianci, asking her to wait at the side. Mu Nianci's face turned red as she lowered her head and retreated obediently.
In the original work, Mu Nianci took off her shoes because Wanyan Kang took off her shoes during the martial arts competition for a spouse. The women of that era were particular about three obedience and four virtues. A woman's feet were not to be touched by others. If she were to bump into someone, she would probably have to marry the other party. In addition, Wanyan Kang originally had a dissolute character, but he also inherited his mother Bao Xiruo's appearance. He was handsome beyond compare. Therefore, it also made Mu Nianci follow him willingly. Didn't you see that after knowing what kind of person Yang Kang was, Mu Nianci still followed him even though she hated him for doing that? She even got pregnant before marriage and gave birth to Yang Guo for him? In that era, getting pregnant before marriage was akin to drowning in a pig cage.
Now with Li Yi's participation, Wanyan Kang could only flirt with her and didn't have time to touch Mu Nianci's small feet. Moreover, Li Yi was also very handsome like Wanyan Kang. In addition, Li Yi had practiced Nine Yin and Nine Yang true qi for nearly three years. Nine Yang was a Buddhist ultimate art, and it was open and aboveboard. Nine Yin was a Daoist ultimate art, and it was elegant with a hint of femininity. These two mixed together, making his temperament even more outstanding. Compared to Wanyan Kang, he could make the little girl fall in love at first sight. This was also the reason why he stayed in that inn, but the young girls nearby came to visit him every day.
When Wanyan Kang saw that Mu Nianci actually listened to him, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. He had lived in the Central Capital for seventeen or eighteen years, but he had never seen such a beautiful girl. Now that he was actually listening to the guy opposite him, his unruly personality burst out. He used the Nine Yin White Bone Claw that he had yet to finish cultivating and attacked Li Yi.
The corners of Li Yi's lips curled up." Nine Yin White Bone Claw? Hehe!" She gently pulled and brought Wanyan Kang's claw to the side. She easily broke his attack.
When Wanyan Kang heard the other party say the name of his martial arts, his heart suddenly panicked. He had heard from his current master, Mei Chaofeng, that this martial art must not be revealed casually. He was even more determined to kill the other party, and his movements became more and more fierce.
When Li Yi saw his actions, his eyes darted around and he immediately understood what the kid was trying to do. His eyes instantly turned cold as he sneered, thinking to himself, I was already unhappy with you, kid, and you still dare to have the intention to kill me. Very good!'He dodged Wanyan Kang's claw attack. His left hand grabbed his pulse and lifted his whole body. His right hand clenched into a fist and condensed yin and yang internal strength. He punched towards Wanyan Kang's lower abdomen.
The fist was still about ten centimeters away from Wanyan Kang's body. Only a 'pfft' sound was heard. Then, Wanyan Kang's whole body flew seven or eight meters away as if he was hit by a car. He fell on the ground.
Wanyan Kang groaned. His face suddenly turned pale. A mouthful of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth. He pointed at Li Yi and said in a trembling voice,"You, you're so ruthless…" Before he could finish, he fainted.
Two martial artists caught up from behind. One of them had a few big bumps on his head, so he should be Sha Tongtian. The other was a monk wearing a red brick kasaya. He should be Reverend Lingzhi.?Reverend Ling Zhi squatted down and checked Wanyan Kang's pulse. Suddenly, he raised his head with an ugly expression. A trace of ferocious anger flashed through his eyes.”
Li Yi laughed in disdain and said," I still don't know who's the ruthless one. He always attacks my vital points. I'm already doing him a favor by not killing him." Hurry up and take him away. If you don't treat him in two hours, don't blame me if he dies!”
The two of them were shocked. If the young prince died outside, then their sin would be great. He hurriedly carried Wanyan Kang and ran towards the wangfu.
Li Yi shook his head and turned to the panicking father and daughter." You guys should leave as well. Otherwise, you won't be able to leave later."”
Yang Tiexin and Mu Nianci looked at each other and nodded at the same time. Yang Tiexin stepped forward and cupped his hands." Young hero, please come with us. I have something to discuss with you."”
Li Yi looked at them and said," Alright!”He turned to Huang Rong, who looked unhappy and angry, and said,"Rong 'er, let's go."”
Huang Rong rolled her eyes at him, then looked at the father and daughter. She snorted and rolled her eyes at him." Brother Xiaoyao, are you satisfied now?" Humph!"
Li Yi walked over with a smile and grabbed Huang Rong's hand. He chuckled and said," Alright, don't be angry. You'll understand in the future. Now is not the time. Be obedient!"”
Huang Rong's face turned red. She wanted to shake off his hand, but he held her tightly and she could not shake him off. She could only ignore him and follow him obediently.
Li Yi nodded at the father and daughter duo, who looked a little uncomfortable, and led the way out of the city.
In a small forest ten miles outside the city, the few of them stood still.
Yang Tiexin looked at the two of them who were holding hands and asked," Young hero, who are you and this lady?”
Li Yi raised the hand that the two of them were holding and shook it. He smiled and said," Isn't it obvious?”
Yang Tiexin seemed a little angry as he pointed at Li Yi and said," Then why are you still in the arena?”
Li Yi was stunned." Eh, Uncle, can only one be married in Great Song?"”
Yang Tiexin was stunned. He had always loved his wife, Bao Xiruo. He had never thought of such a problem. He frowned and said," But…" You…"
Li Yi waved his hand to stop him from continuing." Uncle, don't go on and on. I was only dueling with that young prince. I did not duel with your daughter, so I did not win against her." You don't have to care about the results of the Joust For A Spouse.”Seeing Mu Nianci's expression turn uglier, he smiled and said," Of course, if you want me to take responsibility, I'll take responsibility until the end.”
Although Yang Tiexin was unwilling to do so, he sighed helplessly when he saw his daughter's joyful expression." In that case, I'll leave my daughter to you." By the way, may I know your name, young hero? Your family…"
Li Yi saw Huang Rong pouting again and consoled her. Huang Rong seemed to be a little angry and rolled her eyes at him. She took the initiative to walk forward and pulled Mu Nianci to the side. The two of them started whispering.
