Chapter - 153 Great Banquet For Heroes (7)

Guo Fu was surprised at first and thought, "That person doesn't know martial arts, why did mother give him such a good seat?" She had a sudden thought, and couldn't stop herself from being alarmed, "Oh no, crap! Father said he was going to betroth me to him, could it be that mother is listening to father?" The more she thought about it the more frightened she became; she remembered how she saw her mother holding Yang Guo's hand while walking, looking very close. She also thought about how her father and mother respected each other, if her father wants to do this, mother would not disagree. She was worried and angry, she thought, "How can I get married to that little beggar?" She wanted to cry.

Wu Xiuwen happened to speak at this time, "Sister Fu, look at where that punk named Yang is sitting. He counts as a hero?"

Guo Fu forced out, "If you've any skill then drive him away!"

The Wu brothers had originally just looked down on him but after hearing Guo Jing saying that he wanted to betroth Guo Fu to him, they made him their enemy.

Wu Xiuwen heard what Guo Fu said and thought, "Why don't I insult and embarrass him? He'll be humiliated in front of all these heroes. Master's wife has always favored those with a strong character, when the one named Yang trips up in public, Master's wife will not want him to be her son-in-law." He had just learned the "Solitary Yang Finger" from his Martial Uncle, now was a good time to test it, he said, "Since he wants to pretend that he is a hero, I'll let him show off and then make him lose face." He stood up and poured two cups of wine; he went over to Yang Guo and said, "Brother Yang, you must be proud of yourself regarding these last few years. I give you a toast."

When Yang Guo saw Wu Xiuwen coming towards him, he had seen him glancing over at Guo Fu incessantly and his face had a sly look, showing that he didn't have any good intentions. He thought, "He's come over here to give a toast, he must be up to something. But he wouldn't dare put poison in the wine." So he stood up and received the wine, he said, "Thank you." He drank the wine in one gulp.

Just at this moment, Wu Xiuwen stretched out his index finger and touched Yang Guo's waist. He turned his body to block the view of others, he had sealed Yang Guo's 'Laughing Waist' pressure point, according to his Marshal Uncle, if you use the "Solitary Yang Finger" to seal an enemy's 'Laughing Waist' pressure point, the opponent will laugh and call out. If the pressure point is unsealed, the opponent will keep on laughing without stopping.

Yang Guo had already put his body on guard, how could he fall for the surprise attack? With Yang Guo's present skills, he would never be ambushed by his opponent's surprise attack. With Yang Guo's temper, normally he would not take this ill intent and would definitely counterattack fiercely. If he hadn't caught Wu Xiuwen out then he would have sealed Wu Xiuwen's 'Laughing Waist' pressure point instead. But after having that conversation with Huang Rong, he was feeling happy and relaxed, he thought, "Although there is some animosity between us, you are still Uncle and Auntie Guo's disciple, I won't mess around with you." He secretly circulated the internal energy that Ouyang Feng had taught him, in a flash all his bodies' veins circulated the opposite way, all his pressure points changed places, but because he wasn't upside down and he didn't have much experience with this type of kung fu. After one inhalation and one exhalation, his body reverted back to normal; he needed to circulate his internal energy again to reverse his veins. But this short period of time it was enough to render Wu Xiuwen's attack useless.

Wu Xiuwen saw that after touching his pressure point, Yang Guo had a little smile on his face, he was still sitting in his original position and there was no reaction from him. He was surprised and returned to his table. He quietly said, "Brother, how come the kung fu that Martial Uncle taught us doesn't work?" Wu Xiuwen told him what had just happened.

Wu Dunru chuckled and said, "Your stance must have been wrong or you've pointed to the wrong place."

Wu Xiuwen quickly said, "What's wrong? Take a look." He raised his finger and then pointed to his brother's waist; the appearance, stance and strength were exactly the same as the method that his Martial Uncle taught him.

Guo Fu's lips pursed and she said, "I thought that the "Solitary Yang Finger" was something amazing, huh! It doesn't look like its much use." She knew that the Wu brothers had learned the "Solitary Yang Finger" but she herself didn't know it. She knows that they will definitely teach her eventually, she still had a feeling of unhappiness in her.

Wu Dunru stood up and poured two cups of wine, he went over to Yang Guo and said, "Brother Yang, me and my brother haven't seen you for many years, now we meet again, junior also presents a toast to you."

Yang Guo laughed in his heart and thought, "Your little brother has already shown his skills, let's see what other great skills you have as the elder brother." He was holding up a piece of beef with his chopstick and didn't put it down; he stretched out his left arm to take the cup and laughed, "Thank you."

Wu Dunru didn't try to hide it, he stretched out his right arm, his sleeve carried a gust of wind, he stretched out his finger to seal the pressure point on Yang Guo's waist. Yang Guo saw that the finger was coming in fiercely, his kung fu of reversing his veins was limited and he was afraid that he would not be able to block this attack. He dropped his arm and used the slab of beef to protect his 'Laughing Waist' pressure point. This move started second but arrived first, Wu Dunru did not notice this, and his finger went forward and pierced the slab of beef. Yang Guo placed his chopsticks down and said, "After drinking wine, it would be best to follow it with a slab of beef."

Wu Dunru raised his hand and saw his five fingers holding onto a large piece of beef, its juice dripping everywhere, he couldn't hold onto it but couldn't fling it away, he gave a furious stare at Yang Guo and scurried back to his seat.

Guo Fu saw that he was holding a piece of beef, it was very strange and she asked, "What's that?"

Wu Dunru's face turned red, he couldn't reply. Just at this time, the Beggar Clan's new chief Lu Youjiao raised a cup and stood up. He gave a toast to all the heroes and then clearly said, "Our clan's Chief Hong Lao has passed on an order, and he said that the Mongols are invading south and commanded all our clan members to defend our country against them with our lives. All the heroes of the world are gathered here today, everyone here has loyalty in their hearts, we need to discuss the situation and come up with a plan that will drive the Mongols away, never to come back to the land of the Song."

After he finished, all the heroes stood up, a word here and there, everyone had the same thought. Most of the heroes that attended this feast are patriots, when they saw that their country was close to danger, they all were worried, and now someone has raised this issue, all the loyal and patriotic heroes responded.
