Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Internal and External Difficulties

The singing of birds nearby resounded through the deserted courtyard. Lang Fanyun tightened his arms and hugged Gan Hongqing firmly. Her pretty face was full of tears, and her beautiful eyes were closed. Gan Luo didn't mention her going or staying from the beginning to the end, her heart would be broken into pieces. Lang Fanyun said softly: "I let go." Gan Hongqing said anxiously: "No!" She still didn't open her eyes. These two have a strange relationship, friends, enemies, nothing. Lang Fanyun sighed in his heart, not knowing what to do.Since being together with Xixi, he has never been in contact with other women, let alone such a naked beauty.

Before that, he could treat her as a poisonous snake and beast. The current situation is delicate, and she has returned to a pitiful and weak image that needs protection. He can no longer treat her with this mentality, and immediately feel the high stimulation of physical contact. The life and death tonight caused him psychological and spiritual changes that were different from those of the past two years. The pride of the Jianghu flowed into his blood again. Everything happened so quickly and without time to think, every moment was a struggle between life and death. He seemed to hear Xixi's voice saying: "This is the rain-covering sword wave that I love." Looking up at the sky, the bright moon reminded him that Xixi died peacefully under the full moon that night. On the rippling water waves of Dongting Lake, within a light boat.

Can this be regarded as worthy of this life? Gan Hongqing whispered in his ear: "Do you know that your eyes are very sad and lonely?" The plump red lips gently touched his sensitive ears. A feeling of unreasonable disgust grew in his heart, and he pushed her away a little roughly. Caught off guard, Gan Hongqing almost fell to the ground. A robe was thrown over her. Lang Fanyun shouted: "Cover your body." Gan Hongqing was stunned, not knowing why Lang Fanyun's attitude changed suddenly, and all thoughts came to him for a moment, feeling inferior and self-pity in his heart, thinking of all the actions he had done under the instigation of the ruthless Gan Luo, and silently put on Lang Fanyun's cloak .Hide the snow-white and moving flesh under the clothes.

Lang Fanyun looked at it, and it was even more daring. In his wide cloak, the lines of Qian Hongqing's whole body are still looming, the chest is covered very low, revealing the snow-white plump chest muscles and half a towering undulating breast, which is more mysterious and attractive than when he was naked charm. Gan Hongqing walked slowly in front of Lang Fanyun, with a sad look on her face, and said: "I have nothing to love in life, so kill me." Lang Fanyun moved his long sword and pointed at her chest, he himself didn't know why he would choose this position instead of the throat.

Gan Hongqing closed her eyes, as if she was willing to die because of the seriousness of her sins. Lang Fanyun thought to himself, this is just a woman who can do her best, but she was once the wife of the gang leader. The combination of these two factors resulted in her very special status, which made him feel confused and excited. He thought, if I pick her clothes off with the tip of my sword, she will never resist at all.Then I was taken aback, why did I have such an idea?Could it be that the lust that has been suppressed for more than two years, after tonight's impulse, is ready to move to the point where it cannot be suppressed.

Gan Hongqing knew that Lang Fanyun would not kill her like this.Under the tip of his sword, she felt inexplicable excitement.She was very strange, because of Gan Luo's ruthless betrayal, she should be in a state of extreme grief, but now she feels reborn as a human being, as if everything in the past had nothing to do with her. Lang Fanyun said: "The matter between us is over now. From now on, you go your own way, which has nothing to do with me. If you want to die, you have to find a way yourself." With a flash of the rain-covering sword, it was retracted into its sheath. Gan Hongqing opened her eyes wide in fright: "How can you leave me alone?"

In Lang Fanyun's mind, she and Zeng Shuyu made all kinds of voices and emotions in the dark room, and he was aroused with unknown anger, and shouted: "If I don't chop you into a hundred pieces, it will be counted as your ancestor's merits, so what should I do with you?" In fact, he didn't know why he talked so much, it was not like his usual style. Gan Hong's green and black eyes rolled and turned twice, thinking about something. Lang Fanyun stopped talking and walked out of the courtyard. After walking a few steps, Qian Hongqing followed suit. Lang Fanyun stopped, but did not look back.

Gan Hongqing said behind him: "I don't know if you believe it or not, as soon as you leave, I will be attacked and killed by Gan Luo's people immediately." Lang Fanyun pondered for a while, this is true, Gan Hongqing's status in Ganluo Mountain City is estimated to be not low, and he has been "adopted" by Ganluo for many years, and even his surname has followed Ganluo, so he should belong to the highest level. Therefore, we can deeply understand the virtual and real layout of Ganluo Mountain City.Gan Luo is cruel, how can he tolerate such a person who is free outside and can betray the secrets of the mountain city at any time.

Lang Fanyun said: "Gan Luo himself was seriously injured and couldn't make a move. 'Broken Heart' Ge Ba and 'Throat Sealing Blade' Xie Qian were the ones who hit me hard. Qian Luo's 'Palm Dancer' Yi Yanmei, who is a master Even though she hasn't shown up yet, her martial arts skills are on par with yours, so you can't defeat the enemy, so if you can protect yourself and escape, isn't it more than enough?" These words are reasonable, Gan Hongqing is not an ordinary girl, not only her amazing charm, but also her martial arts, her cunning is better than that of a fox.

Gan Hongqing frowned, this movement is very beautiful, in fact, what makes her charming is not the flirtatious and flirtatious form under all kinds of amorous feelings, but the subtle temptation in the elegant and refined, which makes her attractive Elevate to a realm that ordinary beauties can't hope for. Gan Hongqing smiled wryly and said: "You don't know, in order to control his women, Gan Luo has a group of castrated subordinates, and our group of women who were supported by him since childhood for lust, no matter how touching they are, once they meet This group of people who have no interest in women are helpless; secondly, our martial arts are all taught by him, and he deliberately left fatal flaws in some of our moves, so as long as he points out a thing or two, this group of castrated waste , you can easily take my life."

Lang Fanyun laughed and said: "Gan Luo is really thoughtful, well, let me have a moment with you." Gan Hongqing said happily: "That's great! I'll listen to you in everything." It has always been her habit to obey Gan Luo's orders. She stands as if she has discovered a new continent, and she has something to rely on. Lang Fanyun smiled wryly and strode forward. There are two days left before Xixi's death day. Gan Hongqing didn't dare to walk side by side with him, and followed closely behind, asking softly, "Are you going to leave the island to rescue Ling Zhantian?" Lang Fanyun looked at the bright moon in the sky again, and a cloud just passed by, covering part of the light.Without looking back, he said, "Even I, who doesn't care about world affairs, know that everything will happen in the few days before Qian Luo's arrival. How could Ling Zhantian not know, if you were him, would you leave obediently?" Gan Hongqing nodded and said: "But we have used various methods to investigate. He is indeed on the way away from the island. According to the last news, he is at least a hundred miles away." "We" naturally refers to her and Shangguan Ying. Lang Fanyun said: "What kind of person is Ling Zhantian, who can't even make such an illusion, how can he rule the roost for a while, Qianluo is not jealous of him, why did he instruct you to get him out." After a pause, he said: " If I guess correctly, all the elite members of the Nujiao Gang belonging to the old system will sneak back to the island tonight." He looked at the night sky in the distance and said: "Chi Zunxin always likes to launch attacks before dawn, I don't know this Will this time be an exception?" Born in Dongting, died in Dongting. Shangguan Ying, Zhai Yushi, Qi Changzheng and dozens of gang leaders stood on the east pier of the island. On one side was the vast Dongting Lake, rippling under the moonlight, and on the other side was the rolling Nujiao Island. Approaching the gang of two thousand angry dragons, armed with weapons, completely blocked the embankment. Another five hundred minions are distributed around the twelve watchtowers along the island to monitor the coast. Numerous torches were ignited, illuminating the coastal area as bright as day. At the beginning of the ugly time, there were still two hours before dawn. Teams of war horses, carrying gang members, shuttled and patrolled along the coastal road. Seeing such power, Shangguan Ying and others regained a lot of confidence that had been lost due to the turbulent waves, and became proud again. A leader rode his horse straight from the village to the wharf that stretched out from the lake, and got off his horse to ask for an audience. The leader walked up to Shangguan Ying, stood upright and reported: "According to the leader's order, all the women and children on the island have been evacuated into the underground secret room, and all the houses in the village are empty. There are a total of twenty magic dogs patrolling the island, gathered in one place. Once lit, a thorough search can be performed." Shangguan Ying smiled and said: "Let him be overwhelmed by the clouds, and see how he escapes my Wuzhi Mountain." Everyone nodded in agreement. The defensive and offensive system established by Ling Zhantian of the Nujiao Gang showed its power at this time. Hooves sounded from the embankment on the left.Hearing the rapid sound of hooves, one knew something had happened. As soon as he rode a fast horse to the pier, the knight crawled and rolled to the crowd, his face was pale, and his chest heaved continuously. Everyone rushed forward, Zhai Yushi shouted: "What's the matter?" The knight hurriedly said: "Fifty-two brothers from the watchtower No. 7 in the Northwest District were all killed. When we patrolled, they lay dead around the watchtower. The wounds on their bodies were made of different weapons. There was no trace of the enemy on land. The speedboats near the watchtower are missing, and the enemy should escape by sea." The fifty-two people didn't even have time to sound the alarm. The enemy's strength must be astonishing. If Lang Fanyun was here, he must have expected Gan Luo and others to withdraw from here.It can be said that it is easy to attack such a stronghold with all their strength, and there may be spies to support them, so they can arrange the attack time just right without disturbing other people at all. Qi Changzheng said in a deep voice: "Since the gang leader ordered the general mobilization, more than 300 people belonging to Ling Zhantian's system seem to have disappeared without a trace. Could this have anything to do with them?" His tone was not very sure.Although everyone is from different factions, they always live in the same place, come from the same source, and are inextricably linked. It is difficult to hurt such a murderous hand. Zhai Yushi said: "This matter can only be doubted for the time being. Fortunately, there are only two hours before dawn, and then we will have a clear understanding." Then he turned to Shangguan Ying and said: "Master, at present we must increase the number of patrols, so as to prevent any more people Fleeing abroad, we must also prevent the enemy from returning.” Shangguan Ying calmly said: "Do as you say." Zhai Yushi went to deliver the order himself. Someone called out: "Master! Look." Everyone turned around. On Dongting Lake under the moonlit night, a huge boat appeared at the horizontal line of the horizon, riding the wind and waves, opening its huge sails, and sailing towards Nujiao Island at full speed. Everyone was stunned. Is the enemy openly attacking?The giant boat rushed towards it like a monster that only chooses and devours people. More than 2,000 people on the pier and along the east coast have their hearts in their mouths. Nerves tense. Shangguan Ying looked far away. The huge boat is getting closer and closer, like a mountain moving on the lake.It's overwhelming. Shangguan Ying let out a long breath, cursed in a low voice, turned around and shouted: "It's my own." The flag of the Angry Jiao Gang was flying on the big boat. Everyone cheered together. The Nujiao Gang stationed in Chenzhai outside the island, the elite led by Liang Qiumo rushed back in time. Your own strength has greatly increased, so why not be afraid. The giant boat berthed. Over the past ten years, the Nujiao Gang has built a total of twenty-seven such giant boats, and they are used to travel the Dongting and the Yangtze River, which is the capital of the waters for supremacy. In the previous battles, eight of them were either destroyed on the spot or could not be used for a long time. There are only 19 ships still in service, and their strength has far surpassed any gang in the Yangtze River Basin at that time. Liang Qiumo's huge boat was named "Flying Jiao" and it had excellent performance. Together with the other two giant boats "Nujiao" and "Shuijiao" moored at Nujiao Island, they are the three fastest ships. "Nujiao" is the boat of the leader of the Nujiao gang, and the powerful boat of the Nujiao gang. Each huge boat can accommodate five hundred people, and can quickly transport soldiers to places where the water can reach, so the power of the Nujiao Gang has enveloped the entire Yangtze River Basin. They colluded with the government in exchange for peace and interests in the region. "Flying Jiao" started to slow down, and slowly approached the pier that stretched into the lake. With a sound of "long", the huge boat came close to the pier, and the pier shook for a while. The zipline flew down from the ship, and the helpers on the pier were busy for a while, pulling the big ship tight. Lower the gangway on board. A tall and majestic figure appeared at the other end, slowly stepping down. It wasn't who Liang Qiumo, Shangguan Ying's capable subordinate, was. Just as Shangguan Ying was about to step forward, his whole body became stiff suddenly, and his complexion changed drastically. Liang Qiumo's complexion was pale, one hand was wrapped in a white cloth, and there were many bloodstains on his body, which was the tragic state after a bloody battle. One after another wounded soldiers got off the boat. None of the people who got off the boat was more or less injured, and the serious ones were even carried down. Everyone was stunned for a moment. Liang Qiumo walked in front of Shangguan Ying with some difficulty, his eyes were red, and he said excitedly: "This subordinate is incompetent, Chenzhai has fallen." Shangguan Ying was startled, and asked anxiously: "How is this possible?" Chenzhai and Nujiao Island echoed each other inside and outside, with nearly a thousand soldiers stationed there, who could pick it up in an instant and without warning. A flash of blood flushed Liang Qiumo's pale face, and he said: "Chizun Xin led the army to cover it up. If we hadn't been preparing to go back to Jiaodao for reinforcements at that time, the consequences would have been even more dire." A trace of fear flashed in his eyes, obviously Recalling the terrible scene at that time, I still have lingering fears. Under Shangguan Ying's questioning, Liang Qiumo said: "The enemy suddenly came to our base near the lake from the forest area in the northwest with a strong force. That was not a battle, but a massacre. We collapsed quickly. We were completely irresistible, and we were able to fight and retreat only after we resisted to the death, and we escaped with the huge boat." The tragic situation of the battle can be imagined. Everyone was silent. The Angry Jiao Gang finally faced the moment of life and death. Liang Qiumo's voice was a little choked up, and he said sadly: "They are not human at all. They play like we are their mortal enemies in the past. The only ones who can escape are more than 300 brothers, and the rest are all brave and successful." Chi Zunxin started as a horse thief , Violent and violent, it was famous in the West Frontier early on. Zhai Yushi said: "At the end of autumn, how can you be sure that you are from the side of Chi Zunxin?" Chi Zunxin's disciples never wear any form of official uniform, they only wear red scarves on their heads, so they are also called "red scarf thieves".This is well known in the world. Sure enough, Liang Qiumo replied: "The attacker has a red scarf on his head, and his strength is so tyrannical. Who else is not a strong person from the Zunxin sect?" Shangguan Ying asked: "Have you ever had a face-to-face with Chi Zunxin?" Liang Qiumo looked a little embarrassed and said: "According to rumors, Chi Zunxin is seven feet tall, his eyes are like torches, and his face is full of beards, like a bristle brush. I have asked all the brothers in detail, and they have never seen such a person. But' The snake god Yuan Zhirou, but I fight her." There was a look of horror in everyone's eyes. This "snake god" Yuan Zhirou is one of the seven gods of killing under Chi Zunxin's seat.A woman dressed as a man, acts like a man, loves to flirt with women, is a perverted madman.But with the mighty snake-shaped spear in his hand, and Chi Zunxin as a strong backer, even though the martial arts are not ashamed of his actions, he still allows him to run rampant. Liang Qiumo's kung fu is not far from the rest of them, as long as he knows the result of the fight between the two, he can guess the depth of the enemy. Everyone is a little nervous. Liang Qiumo said with a wry smile: "I've always been conceited in martial arts, but in fact, I haven't met a real strong hand. Yuan Zhirou was like a storm and wind when he hit it. The fierce and fierce attack at that time actually made me feel timid. I originally I think I have nothing to fear, but I don't know that when I confront the masters, their powerful murderous aura is real, and I can only use 70% of it out of ten." There is only the rustling sound of the lake water gently hitting the shore. Shangguan Ying and more than a dozen other masters remained silent on the spot. They are afraid of the consequences of actually confronting Chi Zunxin on the battlefield. At this time, in their hearts, they thought of Lang Fanyun and Ling Zhantian.But when things have come to this point, how can they expect that they will advance and retreat together with the gang to resist foreign enemies? Liang Qiumo said: "I tried my best to block eighteen hard blows from her snake-shaped spear. She can attack from almost any angle. Even her body is like a poisonous snake. She tosses up and down, sometimes jumps high, and sometimes rolls on the ground. There is no way for people to judge her next move." There was a look of fear on his face, as if he was recalling a terrifying dream. Liang Qiumo pointed to the bandaged left shoulder, and said with a wry smile: "This is the nineteenth blow. If Xie Jia and the brothers had not risked their lives to rescue me, I would not have been able to come back to see you." With a dark expression, he said, "Brother Xie is also because of this. died." Eighteen blows, Liang Qiumo can only block her eighteen blows.Thinking that her eighteen blows were completed in an instant, so almost as soon as the contact was made, Liang Qiumo was defeated and injured. The difference is so big, how can this battle be fought?What's more, there is also Chi Zunxin, one of the top ten masters of the underworld, whose martial arts are far superior to Yuan Zhirou's. At present, there are only a few masters under Chi Zunxin's seat, which is enough for them. Shangguan Ying looked around at everyone, his face was pale, even Qi Changzheng, who was always known for his bravery, fierceness and combativeness, and was hailed as the number one master of the younger generation, was also silent and unable to speak. Regret flashed across Zhai Yushi's eyes.They usually repel Ling Zhantian and others, gain the upper hand everywhere, and think that they are invincible, but now they really fight, they will collapse at the first touch, and they have no ability to resist. Although there were 2,000 gang members nearby, it did not give them a sense of security or confidence at all. Shangguan Ying remembered his father's instructions when he was in danger. At that time, Shangguan Fei held his hand tightly and said: "Ying, you are very self-motivated, and you will become a great tool in the future. You just need to remember that you must rely on Uncle Ling for help. He is good at Planning and organization is of great help to the development of the whole gang. In terms of martial arts, there is Uncle Lang. I have met countless capable people in my life, but I have never seen a sword technique that is more terrifying than the Fuyu Sword. Remember it so that you can do it yourself." It's a pity that at that time Shangguan Ying had other opposite thoughts in his mind. Only now did he know that every word his father said was golden and jade. Do people learn better by failing?Suppose this is a fatal failure that cannot be turned over?It is said that Chi Zunxin likes to attack before dawn. He thinks that is the best moment of destiny, and every battle must be won. In fact, it has always been so. It is still half an hour before dawn. Mingyue hid behind the dark clouds, as if she couldn't bear to watch the coming tragedy. The bloody battle is imminent. Lang Fanyun led Gan Hongqing back to his mountain residence in the deep hidden valley. Along the way, it was like entering no man's land. The entire village where the Nujiao gang lived together was deserted, and it was as quiet as a ghost land. Only in the distance near the shore, thousands of torches lit up half the sky, still reminding him that there are other people on this island. The small bridge in front of the mountain residence is still there, and the flowing water is still there. Once inside, Lang Fanyun sat down with his back to the window.Gan Hongqing saw that he had no intention of greeting her, and she was not polite, and sat on the chair on his left. This is the only wooden chair available, there is no other choice. Gan Hongqing looked around. The interior furnishings are simple, with two chairs and a table, plus a large storage cabinet, nothing else. The inside on the right seems to be the bedroom, and a door separates the view, and it is not better than the outside room to get any place to go. The fresh air and the breath of the wild circulate in the house without barriers. The moonlight is reflected in every hole, casting the shadows of the trees outside the house on the wall and underground, with a kind of beauty that is beyond vulgarity. It was a night without lights. Only then did Qian Hongqing realize that there were no lights or candles in the room. In this house, Lang Fanyun spent countless nights without lights. The moon is slanting westward. The sky is full of stars. The sounds of insects and wind all around rise and fall regularly and rhythmically, full of vitality. A feeling of tranquility and beauty emerges from Qian Hongqing's heart. The outside world is so far away and unreal, and here is the real "life". Lang Fanyun is calm and calm, and seems to be enjoying everything here. His current expression, in the eyes of Qian Hongqing in the past, would be regarded as "unhappy", but now Gan Hongqing has a completely different view . In fact, Lang Fanyun is enjoying himself. The excitement of Ji Xixi's death reminded him of the world and life that he had always neglected. So he is by no means dejected. His mind was advanced to a higher state of cultivation. Can only be extremely affectionate. Therefore, it can be as good as a sword. There is still an hour before dawn. darkest hour. It is the brightest moment.
