Chapter 99

Kang Min was the widow of Ma Ma Dayuan, and Ma Ma Dayuan was Qiao Feng’s elder brother.

Therefore, Qiao Feng calling her this was naturally fine.

Seeing the heroic Qiao Feng, a trace of coldness flashed in Kang Min’s eyes.

In her heart, she hated Qiao Feng incomparably.

The people Kang Min hated in her heart, apart from the heartless Duan Cao Zhengchun from back then, were the Qiao Feng before her.

"Today I show my face only for one thing."

"To help the Beggar Sect wash away its shame!"

"So that the Beggar Sect can continue to stand in the Northern Song Jianghu in the future."

What Kang Min said placed herself at the highest point of morality right from the start.

"What is Lady Ma talking about?"

Bao Butong asked immediately.

He was someone who liked to join in the fun, and he naturally would not miss such a scene today.

The other Jianghu figures also spoke up one after another.

The general meaning was wanting Kang Min to say what exactly the matter was.

Following that, Kang Min took out a letter.

"This is a letter I found while checking my husband’s belongings."

"Today, apart from the Beggar Sect disciples, there are also various seniors from the Jianghu present."

"This matter involves the safety of the Beggar Sect’s foundation and its reputation."

"Inviting everyone here is also to have everyone act as witnesses."

"Our Beggar Sect might be deceived for a while, but we will definitely not be deceived forever."

"As long as a situation arises within the sect, we will definitely resolve it immediately!"

"Elder Xu, you are a person of high prestige; please open the letter and read the content on it."

After Kang Min finished speaking, she handed the letter in her hand to Elder Xu Xu Chongxiao, who was to the side.

"Then this old man will not decline!"

Xu Xu Chongxiao took the letter.

Qiao Feng frowned; his intuition told him.

Something was very wrong with this matter today.

Elder Xu Xu Chongxiao was already eighty-seven years old and had a very high seniority in the Beggar Sect; he was the senior uncle of the late former leader "Sword Beard" Wang Wang Jiantong.

He had originally retired, but today he suddenly appeared at the Beggar Sect assembly.

He had even invited Master Zhiguang, Tan Gong, Tan Po, Zhao Zhao Qiansun, Shan Zheng, and others; combined with what Quan Quan Guanqing said just now.

These people making such a big commotion clearly had him, the leader, as their target.

"I want to see what kind of tricks you can come up with!"

Qiao Feng thought to himself.

He had never done anything to wrong the Beggar Sect.

No matter what means the other side used, he would take it on.

Because his conscience was clear!

After Xu Xu Chongxiao opened the letter, he found that the handwriting inside was vigorous and powerful, and the recipient was "My Brother Sword Beard."

Following that, he read out the content of the letter one by one.

The more he read, the more surprised the expressions on the faces of everyone present became.

They also clearly understood the tragedy that happened outside Yanmen Pass thirty years ago.

And they understood one more thing—Beggar Sect Leader Qiao Feng was a Khitan.

After reading the letter, Xu Xu Chongxiao said slowly, "I presume everyone already knows what is going on."

"I also have the last will left by the former leader here."

After he took out the letter, he began to read it, but the content on the letter was very brief.

"After Feng succeeds as leader, Wang Wang Jiantong writes: if Qiao Feng favors Liao and betrays Han, the sect members are to kill him directly, without error!"

Hearing this, everyone no longer had any doubts in their hearts.

It was confirmed that Qiao Feng was indeed a Khitan!

"You all heard it; was what I said just now wrong?"

"Qiao Feng is not a person of our Great Song at all, but a Khitan."

"If you don't believe it, you can have Qiao Feng take off his upper garment and see if there is a wolf head on his back."

Quan Quan Guanqing said angrily; because he used too much force, his face turned red, and the veins were exposed one by one, looking very scary.

Xu Xu Chongxiao said, "Leader, please take off your upper garment and let everyone see!"

He stood out today for nothing more than one purpose.

To become the Beggar Sect leader!

He originally had a great chance to become the Beggar Sect leader.

However, he lost to the leader before last, and then lost to the last leader.

This time, having finally had a chance to become the leader, he naturally had to use all his strength to fight for it.

Even if the Beggar Sect lost face because of this matter, Xu Xu Chongxiao did not care.

He only wanted to be able to become the leader.

As for the issue of the Beggar Sect’s face, he would naturally get it all back once he became the leader.

Qiao Feng also found it very difficult to accept this fact.

When he was seven, Master Xuanku taught him martial arts; at sixteen, Wang Wang Jiantong took him as a personal disciple; after the Mount Tai assembly, he taught him the Dog-Beating Staff Technique and made him the Beggar Sect leader.

He grew up in the Northern Song since he was a child, and after becoming the Beggar Sect leader, he had even opposed the Liao Kingdom several times.

How could he possibly be a Khitan?

However, the letters from Ma Ma Dayuan and the former leader Wang Wang Jiantong clearly pointed out that he was a Khitan.

Qiao Feng’s mind went somewhat blank, and he did not know what he should do.

Seeing this, Quan Quan Guanqing said aggressively, "Qiao Feng, don't tell me you don't dare!"

He was familiar with Qiao Feng’s character and knew that saying such things at this time was most effective.

His purpose was to provoke Qiao Feng.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Qiao Feng said immediately, "I act upright and sit straight; what do I not dare to do!"

After saying this, he took off his upper garment.

The wolf head on his back was also revealed before everyone present.

"Everyone look, a wolf head—this is the mark of a Khitan; Qiao Feng is definitely not a person of our Great Song, but a Khitan."

"As the saying goes, those who are not of our race must have a different heart."

"How can our dignified Beggar Sect, the number one sect in the Northern Song, let a Khitan be the leader!"

Quan Quan Guanqing said loudly immediately.

Qiao Feng also knew he had been impulsive just now, but things had reached this point, and there was no other way; he said in a deep voice:

"I grew up in the Great Song since I was a child, and what I learned were the martial arts of the Great Song."

"The former leader was my master; although the blood of a Khitan flows in my body, this heart of mine is indeed the heart of a Great Song person!"

Qiao Feng’s words were very powerful, and these were also his heartfelt words.

What he had always thought about was how to protect the great mountains and rivers of the Great Song, and how to resist foreign tribes like Great Liao and Western Xia.

Even when he heard about the urgent military situation in Western Xia just now, he was anxious.

"Qiao Feng, anyone can say nice words."

"But no matter what, you are ultimately a Khitan."

"You are no longer fit to hold this position of leader."

"Please hand over the Dog-Beating Staff, the token of our Beggar Sect!"

Quan Quan Guanqing did not care about those words Qiao Feng said; he just kept harping on the point that Qiao Feng was a Khitan.

In any case, Qiao Feng’s Khitan identity was already confirmed.

The Northern Song and Great Liao were mortal enemies, and the Jianghu people of the Northern Song wished they could kill all the Khitans.

Therefore, the people present would definitely stand on Quan Quan Guanqing’s side.
