Volume 1 Chapter 153: Clouded Leopard Xu Jiu (Three)
Chapter 153: Cloud Leopard Xu Jiu (Three)
Mozzie is a close combat expert. Like an assassin, her moves are swift and deadly - fast, ruthless, and accurate. However, she has never revealed herself in front of anyone until now. That's her last resort for survival, and she won't use it unless her life is at stake.
To be honest, her skills can only surprise Jianghu people once. Huo Baxiao's claws came, she could feel the strong wind hitting her face, obviously with internal family skills. Is she taking a risk to reveal her old bottom and take the opportunity to throw that person away? Or wait for Zanjin and Chouyu who are about to rush to the table?
Huo Ba's subordinates were not very skilled in martial arts, but they were tough and resilient, and they all pulled out their knives. They had a desperate and reckless energy about them. Moreover, the room was actually more restrictive for skilled fighters, so Huo Ba's side was waiting for an opening to attack the weakest of the three. He struck extremely quickly and smoothly, while Zan Jin and Chou Yu were even faster, but it would still take some time to kick all the thugs flying.
He might be a big scoundrel in terms of character, but his kung fu is solid and not to be underestimated.
Between the lightning and flint, the purple ink moved, and Zan Jin also moved.
Mei Zi's movement wasn't a martial art, but rather a clever trick born of desperation. She suddenly grabbed the tablecloth in front of her and flipped it upwards. At the same time, she jumped to the side.
Zan Jin's movement was sudden, disappearing from the corner of the house and leaving his original attackers bewildered. He reappeared beside Huo Ba, about an arm's length away.
Huò Bā didn't expect Mò Zǐ to be so quick despite his frail appearance. The tablecloth flew up, and with one punch, he immediately felt empty-handed. Just then, Zàn Jìn took advantage of the moment and struck him in the chest with a palm.
In an instant, Huo Ba felt his blood and energy surging, and he was greatly shocked, no longer daring to be contemptuous, and immediately became fully alert and ready for battle.
Mozi dodged the attack, but didn't stop there. She rushed to the door, took a deep breath, and stood up straight with her chest out. She didn't use her life-saving move because she had another method.
What method?
Methods of shouting for help
She shouted at the top of her lungs, "Murder! Someone come quickly!"
In other people's eyes, this method is a bit stupid, but in Mozi's opinion, it is a clever way to save trouble for himself. Since Huo Ba can put medicine in the tea water of Wuyou Pavilion, it can be seen that the power of Bao Gang is quite large, but Huo Ba has one sentence that makes Mozi finally decide to make things big.
He Ba said: In Wu You's territory, he won't cause any loss of life.
This sentence shows that Huo Ba and the carefree boss have a relationship, and also shows that he has some reservations about this carefree mother. Otherwise, if they really wanted to be ruthless, would they be afraid of causing loss of life? Matters of the jianghu are beyond the reach of officialdom. Once you enter the jianghu, you must always be prepared to lose your life at any moment.
Mozi is not a Jianghu person, but Chouyu is. Zanjin, although he has just come down from the mountain, his good kung fu skills will inevitably lead him to be involved with the Jianghu world. Now, if the matter of the Leopard Gang is not handled properly, Mozi will also have to enter this Jianghu world.
A carefree mother is not afraid of trouble, but fears causing loss of life. It can be seen that doing this business requires careful handling to navigate the treacherous waters of dealing with all sorts of men.
She's going to test her luck today and see if she can make a breakthrough by borrowing momentum.
Another loud shout, took out the slogan with a loud and clear voice, "Worry-free mom, allowing people to commit murder, assisting tyranny, is this really the hospitality of Worry-free Pavilion?"
Actually, she had already startled the guests and girls in the hall with her first shout, and they all looked up to see what was going on. When she shouted again for the second time, the doors of the private rooms on the second and third floors opened with a bang, and many men in fine clothes and embroidered robes walked out, followed by curious women who peeked at her from behind them.
Mei Zi was about to give up, unable to push open the two windows at the back of the private room, so she went back inside. While some were fighting one-on-one and others were launching a chaotic group attack, no one paid attention to her. She picked up a round stool, walked outside, and under everyone's gaze, used the stool to smash the window into smithereens.
Many people saw the scene inside and suddenly the voices rose, pointing fingers, and there were women's shrill screams.
It's not expected that people coming to the hospital would be so chivalrous, but sometimes it's just about making a scene.
Mozi turned around and instinctively looked up. Isn't it the same principle? The higher the place, the higher the status of the people entering and exiting. Just now, the three mothers were receiving them in the main hall, by analogy, the second floor would be the second mother, and the third floor would be the carefree mother.
The southernmost room on the third floor, the door opened the latest, and the people who came out were also the most unusual. Several men and women. The men, of different ages, yet spirited and vigorous; the women, all in their prime, beautiful as flowers. Almost every man had two beauties by his side, except for the last man to walk out of the door, who had a man by his side.
Don't get me wrong, it's not a broken arm.
Mozzie was so sure, because she knew those two men. One was Huayi, the other was Yuancheng. Both wore black clothes, but Huayi's black was cool raven color, and Yuancheng's black was starry night silk color.
Yuan Cheng initially seemed somewhat absent-minded, as if he had reluctantly followed. But when he saw that the commotion was caused by his acquaintance Mo Zi, a hint of interest appeared on his face. He sat down sideways along the railing of the walkway, resting his elbow on the carved wooden fence, ready to watch the show.
Mozi didn't know why she had the urge to smile, and with a glance at the person watching the play, she smiled, as if to say "look, look". She wasn't surprised at all that he would show up at Wuyou Pavilion. Someone who hadn't even taken office yet was having an overnight banquet at home, how could he possibly miss the famous Wuyou Pavilion? It was only natural that he would come.
Mozi smiled, and Yuan Cheng also smiled.
In the midst of a smile, it seemed that the fate of being on the same boat had already become quite distant. What was inconceivable was that the two people seemed to be completely indifferent. To Yuan Cheng, Mo Ge was now Mo Zi; to Mo Zi, Mr. Yuan was now Lord Yuan. The two were about to reacquaint themselves with each other, both taking a step back and leaving room for the other to advance further. Without prior discussion, they had adopted the same attitude, which couldn't be said to be uninteresting.
One smile: I've been fooled!
One smile: Take your time looking.
Who says that a life-saving favor must be repaid? Who says that a life-saving favor must be sought after? Those who don't know how to repay, won't feel guilty. Those who don't want to repay, won't suffer. It all starts with a transaction, and then the party paying the price becomes weak, while the party receiving the price becomes arrogant, only then does the concept of "repaying kindness" emerge. So why not just let it go? Being entangled between repaying and not repaying is really meaningless.
Mozi smiled and looked for the middle-aged woman's figure in the railing on the third floor.
"Who dares to be so presumptuous in my Worry-Free Pavilion, scaring away my guests? Is this acceptable?" A soft and delicate voice carried a tone of arrogance.
Carefree Mom
Mozhi immediately found the one who spoke, and was stunned.
A golden hairpin, with white jade fragrance flowers inlaid among the clouds of her hairdo, high forehead and powdered cheeks, a slender chin like a swan's neck, noble and elegant. Her hands clasped together in front. She wore a high-waisted cloud-patterned skirt with an outer layer of pale mist-colored gauze. As she raised her wrist, two golden bangles struck together, producing a pleasant tinkling sound. Upon closer inspection, it seemed that the middle part was hollow, probably hiding small bells inside.
The handicraft of the Great Zhou is not like the moral model that is becoming more and more strict, but rather it is even more exquisite and ingenious than the Great Tang.
This carefree mother is actually a middle-aged woman. She looks like she's only 27 or 28, although not an absolute beauty, but in terms of temperament, she can outshine all the beautiful women.
There was a moment when Mozi thought that Wu You Mama was actually Mo Xiu. Because in her eyes, none of the women present could surpass Wu You Mama.
"Are you a carefree mom?" Thought it was going back and forth, but confirmation is still needed.
"Are you referring to that little brat who helped the tyrant and bullied others?" Wu You's eyebrows rose slightly, "Remember to take out 1,000 taels of silver when you leave, to compensate for my losses tonight."
Mozhi listened, you Qiu San Niang. Just about to speak, the situation in the private room had changed, and a miserable cry was heard, a black shadow flew out of the window, hit the railing, fell to the ground, and arched into a shrimp shape. That person was Huo Ba, who was knocked unconscious by Zan's sword sheath in less than ten moves.
He took several big strides forward and said to Mozi: "Mo brother, he's not dead yet."
At almost the same time, Chou Yu had knocked down all of Huo Ba's men and was now standing beside Mo Zi, laughing.
Mozi raised her eyes, seeing Wu You's expression unchanged, secretly praising her good temperament. However, she didn't mince words, "Miss Worry-Free, I was invited here expecting to see the beauty of Worry-Free Pavilion, but before even taking a sip of tea, you've already added medicine to it. The 1,000 taels of silver should be compensated by you."
In the Worry-Free Pavilion, Mo Xiu is known for her beauty and exceptional qin skills, making her the top courtesan. However, it's actually Wu You who holds real power. When she's in a good mood, she'll accompany guests for drinks; when she's not, she'll manage the accounts. As a result, she's not famous for being a ji, but rather respected as a "mom" figure. Her background is rumored to be complex and deep, with many speculations surrounding her past. One thing is certain: there must be someone powerful or highly skilled in martial arts backing her up. Otherwise, the Worry-Free Pavilion would have faced numerous troubles in its early years and wouldn't have reached its current status. Even the most arrogant figures on the road dare not disobey Wu You's words at the pavilion. Those who refuse to listen will be asked to leave by the third watch and cannot stay until the fifth watch. Anyone who disobeys and causes trouble will suffer misfortune within a few days, either getting beaten up or losing their head without knowing who was responsible.
"This carefree young lady, I'm quite pleased. Carefree is not very old, but her status is evident, and most people call her 'mother'. However, the words sound nice, but the meaning isn't pleasant. There's something fishy in the tea, and it can't be that I'm being framed? Looking at your young age, you're not honest, and you casually frame others."
Oh? Has she run into all the capable and formidable characters in the entire South of Nan De? There are hardly a few good ones to deal with.
But Mozi was even more formidable, "The three mothers of Wuyou Pavilion personally led us into the private room. She said that Xu Jiu Ye from the Leopard Gang would be late for half a time unit and asked us to wait first. But as soon as we poured the tea, we found out that there were drugs in it. Since the host hasn't arrived yet, wouldn't this trick in the tea be done by someone from Wuyou Pavilion?"
Li Yuanqing, a young man in his prime, wearing brocade clothes, held a white porcelain wine pot in his hand and was about to take a drink. Suddenly he stopped drinking, handed the pot to the woman beside him, and gazed intently at Mozi's back with piercing eyes.
The three mothers on the first floor were also present and heard that they were involved, so they hurriedly pushed it away, "It has nothing to do with us, it was released by Master Huo as soon as he came."
His carefree expression finally changed.
A clever master with foolish servants is the most helpless thing.
