Chapter 54 Chapter 54: Battle Clouds in Dongting

Dongting Lake. Fifty miles west of Nujiao Island, a stone house in a fishing village along the water was brightly lit and filled with the aroma of wine and meat. The leaders of Nujiao Clan, Shangguan Ying, Ling Zhantian, and eight other gang leaders were eating. Zhai Yushi walked in. Someone added a chair for him and asked him to sit down. Zhai Yushi's expression was serious, and he had no intention of moving his chopsticks. Everyone couldn't help but put down their bowls and chopsticks, ten pairs of eyes fell on his face. Shangguan Ying said: "What's the latest news?"

Zhai Yushi said: "There is still no news about the Long March. Since he broke into the Han Mansion, he seems to have disappeared from the world suddenly. However, someone saw Fang Yeyu's people going to the East Capital of Wuchang in a big way yesterday. Chasing and killing the Long March, things are a little bad." Ling Zhantian said: "It's hard to save the fire in the far water, now we can only hope that this kid will be lucky." Shangguan Ying said: "How is the situation on Nujiao Island?" Zhai Yushi said: "Fang Yeyu's tricks can be seen clearly for a while, and there is no trace of the enemy near Nujiao Island, but Hu Jie's navy, the Yellow River Gang and Bu Enemy's thief boats are in batches Leaving Poyang and driving towards Dongting, it seems that they are determined to block all the exits of Dongting first, then capture Nujiao Island, and then come to catch turtles in an urn."

Ling Zhantian said: "Unless we can abandon the ship and go ashore, with their combined strength, they will be able to find us one by one sooner or later." Shangguan Ying said: "The other problem is that we can't gather all the ships in the gang in one place, that way they will find us immediately." Not falling into the hands of the enemy, returning to the Nujiao Island and fighting the enemy to the death, is better than being wiped out by them one by one." Zhai Yushi shook his head and said, "Fang Yeyu wants us to do this, we are too disadvantaged in terms of strength."

Ling Zhantian nodded and said: "Fighting the enemy head-on is really the best strategy, but if they want to find us, even with the help of the government, it is still not easy. As long as the eldest brother comes back, we will be more confident." Shangguan Ying said: "Since Hu Jie and others have come here, didn't they say that the siege of Shuangxiu Mansion has been lifted?" Zhai Yushi said: "Fang Yeyu's Hu Jieshui Master and the Yellow River Gang were used against us from the very beginning. Since we didn't go to Poyang, they didn't need to surround Shuangxiu mansion by water, but it doesn't mean they are willing to let Shuangxiu go. Assuming my estimation is correct, the battle of Shuangxiu Mansion will break out in a day or two."

Everyone fell silent, feeling powerless and lost. Ling Zhantian said: "Don't worry! Brother will definitely not let the wicked succeed." Zhai Yushi said: "There are three more news, one of which is obviously unfavorable to us, but the other two are unpredictable." Everyone was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked. Zhai Yushi said: "The first news comes from the informants of the capital. The 'Tujiao Team' headed by Leng Yan to deal with us has come out empty. A super expert is on his way here, making us even weaker in comparison." Everyone's expression changed. This mosquito-killing team was an elite team specially set up to deal with the Nujiao Gang. The identities of the team members were kept secret, but they were selected by Shurangan, including Zhan Yu, a black-listed master. It must be a good man for a while, so it's hard to deal with.

Ling Zhantian said: "It seems that they want to take advantage of the big brother's opportunity to go to Beijing, and defeat us in one fell swoop." Zhai Yushi said: "Another piece of news is that the 'Senior Meeting' of the Eight Faction Alliance will be held in the capital. As for the time, place and purpose, it has not been revealed yet." Ling Zhantian said: "Don't ignore this matter lightly. The meeting of the elders of the Eight Sects was held in the capital where the Xining Sword Sect's dojo is located. Obviously it was held by the three elders of Xining. Things are not optimistic."

Everyone understood Ling Zhantian's words, because the Xining faction was waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang's close soldiers, maybe this meeting was called by Zhu Yuanzhang's order.If the eight factions really come to deal with the Nu Jiao Gang, even if Lang Fanyun is added, the Nu Jiao Gang will be wiped out, because the strength is too great. Zhai Yushi said: "The last piece of news was recently circulated in Jianghu. It is said that Fu Ying's thick back sword fell into the hands of Yang Feng, the former "Barefoot Immortal" of the ghost king. Now the whole martial arts world is also boiling. Who would not If you own the Eagle Saber, even Zhu Yuanzhang will inevitably look for it, maybe you can make yourself an immortal god, and then you can be his emperor forever, alas! I don’t know how this matter will end.”

At this time, someone entered the house, came to Zhai Yushi's side, and whispered a few words in his ear. Zhai Yushi's expression changed and he said, "Our miracle doctor Qu Qiubai is missing." Shangguan Ying was startled and said: "How could the people who watched him be so negligent?" Ling Zhantian said: "Little Eagle, don't get angry, I already guessed that this fox would do something like this." Shangguan Ying's face turned red when he thought of the hatred of killing his father, and he gritted his teeth and said, "We will mobilize all our forces immediately to find him."

Ling Zhantian and Zhai Yushi said together: "It's absolutely impossible." Shangguan Ying said: "What?" Zhai Yushi said lightly: "If I'm not wrong, Tu Jiao's team has arrived in Dongting, otherwise Qu Qiubai would dare to escape like this." Shangguan Ying slapped the stage with his palm, and all the dishes and dishes jumped up, and he shouted: "Come on! If I, Shangguan Ying, have even the slightest bit of fear, I'm not a man!" Everyone fell silent. In the entire history of the Angry Dragon Gang, there has never been a moment more hopeless and frustrating than now.
