Chapter 6 The Fifth Border Town Night

It is Yun Zaitian who leads the way with a lamp. With heavy steps, Fu Hongxue followed slowly at the end - some people seemed to never want others to stay behind them. Ye Kai deliberately slowed down and stayed behind. Fu Hongxue also slowed down, and walked beside him, walking heavily on the gravel, as if the blade was scraping the bone. Ye Kai suddenly smiled and said, "I never thought you'd be willing to stay." Fu Hongxue said, "Oh?" Ye Kai said: "Ma Kongqun invited us here tonight, perhaps just to see if there is anyone who refuses to stay." Fu Hongxue said, "You are not Ma Kongqun."

Ye Kai laughed and said: "If I were him, I would do the same. No matter who wants to kill other people's entire family, I'm afraid they won't want to stay in that person's house anymore." He thought for a while, and added: "Even if you are willing to stay, you will definitely behave differently from others, and you may even do something very special." Fu Hongxue said, "If you were you, would you do it too?" Ye Kai smiled, then suddenly changed the subject, and said, "Do you know who the person he suspects the most?" Fu Hongxue said, "Who is it?"

Ye Kai said: "It's me and you." Fu Hongxue stopped suddenly, stared at Ye Kai, and said word by word, "Is it you?" Ye Kai also stopped, turned around to look at him, and said slowly: "This is what I wanted to ask you, is it you?" The two stood quietly in the night, you looked at me, I looked at you, and suddenly smiled at the same time. Ye Kai laughed and said, "This seems to be the first time I've seen you smile." Fu Hongxue said: "Maybe it will be the last time!" Hua Mantian suddenly appeared in the darkness, his eyes were shining, he looked at them, and said with a smile, "Why are you two laughing so much?"

Ye Kaidao: "For something that is not funny." Fu Hongxue said, "It's not funny at all." Gongsun Duan was still drinking the wine in big gulps. Ma Kongqun watched him drink, and after a long time, he sighed and said, "I know you want to get drunk, but getting drunk won't solve anything." Gongsun Duan suddenly slapped the table forcefully, and said loudly, "So what if you're not drunk? It's the same as being angry with others!" Ma Kongqun said: "That's not being angry, it's patience, no matter who has to be patient sometimes."

Gongsun Duan clenched his palm tightly again, and the wine in the cup slowly overflowed again. He stared at the golden cup that had been crushed by him again, and said with a sneer, "Be patient, I have lived and died with you for thirty years. war, which bleeds enough to drown a man, and now you tell me to be patient--you give me the air of a little cripple!" Ma Kongqun's expression was still very calm, he sighed and said, "I know how wronged you have been, and I also..." Gongsun Duan suddenly interrupted him loudly, and said: "You don't need to say anything, I understand what you mean, now that you have a fortune and children, you can no longer be as reckless as before."

He slapped the table again, and said with a sneer, "I'm just a boy in Wanma Hall, so it's only natural to suffer some anger for the third boss." Ma Kongqun stared at him, there was no worry in his eyes, but there was some sadness. After a long time, he slowly said: "Who is the boss? Who is the buddy? This world was originally created by us side by side, and even our own flesh and blood are not as close as we are. You have half of everything in this place, you Whatever you want, you can take it at any time—even if you want my daughter, I can give it to you right away."

Although his voice was plain, the emotion contained in it was enough to make Iron Stone Man cry. Gongsun Duan lowered his head, tears could not help but burst out of his eyes. Fortunately, Hua Mantian and Yun Zaitian had returned at this time. In front of them, Ma Kongqun's attitude became more calm, and he asked in a deep voice, "Did they all stay?" Yun Zaitian said: "Yes." The sad look in Ma Kongqun's eyes also disappeared, and he became calm and sharp, and said in a deep thought: "I am not surprised that Le Leshan, Murong Mingzhu, and the Snitch stayed."

Yun Zaitian said: "Do you think the three of them are not suspected?" Ma Kongqun said: "The suspicion is lighter." Hua Mantian said: "That's not necessarily true." Ma Kongqun said: "Not necessarily?" Hua Mantian said: "Murong Mingzhu is not a simple person, he is just pretending to be like that, in his capacity, after being so angry with him, it is absolutely impossible for him to point fingers and talk nonsense." Ma Kongqun nodded and said: "I also see that he must have a plan in this trip, but the purpose is definitely not in Wanmatang."

Hua Mantian said: "Where is Lele Mountain? No matter where this pseudo-famous person goes, he likes to call himself a senior. Why did he travel thousands of miles to come here to this barren land?" Ma Kongqun said: "Maybe he is avoiding the pursuit of his enemies." Hua Mantian sneered and said, "Wudang faction has a large number of people, and only others avoid them. How often do they avoid others?" Ma Kongqun suddenly sighed again, and said: "Twenty-three years ago, the humiliation of the sword at the foot of Wudang Mountain, have you still not forgotten?"

Hua Mantian's expression changed, and he said, "I will never forget." Ma Kongqun said: "But Hui Yunzi, the Wudang swordsman who injured you, didn't he die under your sword?" Hua Mantian said bitterly: "It's a pity that the Wudang sect hasn't died out yet." Ma Kongqun stared at him, and sighed: "You have a calm mind, sharp eyesight, and unmatched chances when things happen. It's a pity that you are too narrow-minded. I'm afraid you will suffer from this point in the future." Hua Mantian lowered his head and stopped talking, but his chest rose and fell, showing that he was still in a very restless mood.

Yun Zaitian immediately changed the subject, and said, "Among the five people, it seems that Fu Hongxue is the most suspicious, but just like what Ye Kai said, if he really came here...to seek revenge, why did he bring a knife?" Wanmatang." Ma Kongqun had deep thought in his eyes, and said, "Where's Ye Kai?" Yun Zaitian pondered, and said: "This person seems to have extremely high martial arts, and the city is even more unfathomable. If it is really him... he would be a very terrifying opponent." Gongsun Duantu sneered again, and said: "You do the calculations, have you figured out who it is?" Yun Zaitian said: "No." Gongsun concluded: "Since you can't figure it out, why don't you do all the five people, wouldn't you end up with nothing!" Ma Kongqun said: "What if I killed the wrong one?" Gongsun concluded: "If you kill wrong, you can kill again!" Ma Kongqun said: "When will the killing end?" Gongsun Duan clenched his fists tightly, and the veins on his forehead popped out one by one. Suddenly heard a child's voice calling outside: "Fourth Uncle, I can't sleep, can you tell me a story?" Gongsun Duan sighed, as if he had suddenly changed into a different person, all the muscles in his body were relaxed, he stood up slowly, and walked out slowly. Ma Kongqun looked at his huge back, as if looking at his beloved child. At this time, there was a drumbeat outside, and it was already the second watch. Ma Kongqun said slowly: "It stands to reason that since they stayed here, they wouldn't do anything, but we still shouldn't be careless." Yun Zaitian said: "Yes." He went on to say: "Go ahead and increase the number of brothers on duty at night to eight shifts. From now on, we will patrol three times every half an hour. Whenever we see suspicious people, we will immediately sound the gong to warn." Ma Kongqun nodded, suddenly looked very tired, stood up and walked outside the door, looking at the prairie that had been shrouded in darkness, his mood seemed even more depressed. Yun Zaitian followed him out, sighed and said, "I hope this night will be peaceful and you will have a good rest - the things you have to deal with tomorrow will probably be much more difficult." Ma Kongqun patted him on the shoulder, sighed on his back, and said, "After this battle, we should all have a good rest..." A gust of wind blew by, and the sky lantern suddenly went out, leaving only half a cold moon hanging high. Yun Zaitian looked up, his eyes full of worry and fear. Wouldn't Wanmatang be like this sky lantern, although it hangs very high and illuminates far away, who knows when it will suddenly go out? The night is deeper. The moonlight is hazy, and the horses are silent. In the desert outside the city, how many people can fall asleep in the bleak moonlit night? Ye Kai opened his eyes wide, looking at the night outside the window. He didn't smile. The smile that always hangs on the corner of his mouth will disappear as long as there is no one around. He didn't sleep either. Although Ma Kongqun is silent, his thoughts are surging like thousands of horses. It's a pity that no one knows what he is thinking? He caressed his hand, between the thumb and index finger of his right hand, it was as rough and hard as sand and stone, and a hard lump had already been ground on the palm. That is the mark left by holding the knife for many years. But what about his knife? He never carries a knife. Is it because his knife has been hidden in his heart? Fu Hongxue still held his knife tightly in his hand. He didn't sleep either. Didn't even take off the boots. The bleak moonlight covered his pale and cold face, and illuminated the black scabbard in his hand. Has he ever pulled out this knife? Three watch, four watch... Suddenly, there was a rush of gongs in the quiet night. Immediately behind Wanmatang, four figures sprang out like arrows, darting towards the racecourse to the west. There seemed to be a disgusting smell of blood in the wind. The lights in Ye Kai's room turned on first.After another half hour, he strode out. Murong Mingzhu and Flying Spider also opened the door at the same time. Mr. Le Da's door was still closed, and his snoring could be heard from inside the door from time to time. There was not even a sound from Fu Hongxue's door. Murong Mingzhu said: "Did someone sound a gong to warn you just now?" Ye Kai nodded. Murong Mingzhu said: "Do you know what it is?" Ye Kai shook his head. At this moment, two figures rushed over like arrows, one with a sword in his hand like a flying flower, and the other with a figure as light as a flying crane. Hua Mantian glanced at the three people standing outside the door, and without stopping, he rushed towards the door of Lele Mountain and stopped.He had heard snoring from the door, too. Yun Zaitian turned over in the air and landed outside Fu Hongxue's door. He stretched out his hand and pushed the door open. Fu Hongxue stood impressively at the door, holding the knife tightly in his hand, and his eyes were frighteningly bright. Yun Zaitian involuntarily took two steps back, with a livid face, he said: "Did you all leave here just now?" No one answered. There is no need to ask this question at all. Hua Mantian said in a deep voice, "Did anyone hear anything?" nor. Murong Mingzhu frowned, as if she wanted to say something, but before she could say it, she bent down and vomited. The smell of blood in the wind has spread here. Then, Wanma hissed sadly, even the cold moon in the sky seemed to be paled by it! Emperor of Heaven, Emperor of Earth. Bleeding eyes, dark moon... "Bleeding eyes, dark moon. Ten thousand horses are heartbroken..." Does anyone know what the saddest and most terrifying sound in the world is? That is definitely not the cries of apes in Wu Gorge, nor the cries of ghosts in the barren graves, but the sad neighing of thousands of horses on the wilderness in the middle of the night! No one could describe that sound, no one had even heard it. If it hadn't been for a sudden catastrophe from heaven, if it hadn't been for a sudden catastrophe in the world, how could Wanma suddenly cry in the middle of the night at the same time? Just like a person with a heart of stone, when he hears this kind of voice, he will inevitably be horrified and frightened. A row of stables on the west side are raising one-in-a-thousand, hard-to-find stallions. Blood was still oozing out of the stable, and the smell of blood was so thick that it was disgusting. Ma Kongqun did not vomit. He was standing in a pool of blood, he had lost his soul. Gongsun Duanhuan hugged a lone tree in front of the stable, tightly, but his whole body was still trembling. The tree also shook with him, and the autumn leaves fell from the whole tree one by one, falling into a pool of blood. The blood was thick enough to make Kazuki's fallen leaves float. When Ye Kai came, he didn't need to ask any more, he already saw what happened here. Anyone with eyes can see it. As long as people have hearts, they will never bear to see it. There is almost no animal in the world with more beautiful lines and more vitality than horses. The well-proportioned skeleton and vivid vitality are already symbols of perfection. And who can bear to chop off the horse's head? That is simply more cruel than killing people! Ye Kai sighed, turned around, and saw Murong Mingzhu start to vomit again in the distance. Flying Spider was also ashen-faced, sweating profusely. Fu Hongxue stood far away in the dark night, and the night shrouded his face, but the scabbard in his hand was still shining brightly under the moonlight. Gongsun Duan saw the knife, rushed over suddenly, and shouted: "Pull out your knife." Fu Hongxue said flatly, "Now is not the time to draw the sword." Gongsun Duan said sharply: "Now is the time to draw your sword, I want to see if there is blood on your sword?" Fu Hongxue said: "This knife is not for people to see." Gongsun said: "How can you draw your sword?" Fu Hongxue said, "There is only one reason for me to draw the saber." Gongsun said: "What reason? To kill someone?" Fu Hongxue said: "It depends on who is killed. I always only kill three kinds of people." Gongsun said: "Which three?" Fu Hongxue said: "Enemy, villain..." Gongsun concluded: "What kind of person is there?" Fu Hongxue looked at him coldly, and said coldly, "You are the one who will force me to draw my sword." Gongsun Duan looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, "Okay, well said, I just want to wait to hear you say this..." His hand was already on the silver handle of the scimitar, the laughter continued, and his palm was already clenched! Fu Hongxue's eyes became brighter, as if he had been waiting for this moment. The moment the knife is drawn! But at this moment, on the deep night prairie, there was another sad song: "The Emperor of Heaven, the Emperor of Earth, the earth is bleeding, and the moon is dark. On a night where the moon is dark and the wind is high, the people are heartbroken. " The singing sound is ethereal, as if it is far away, but every word can be heard clearly. Gongsun Duan's face changed again, he suddenly raised his arms and shouted: "Chase!" With a sweep of his figure, dozens of torches were already ignited in the darkness like a long dragon, rolling out in all directions. Yun Zaitian waved his arms, "eight steps to chase cicadas and clouds", people are like light smoke, rising and falling three or five times, already twenty feet away. Ye Kai sighed, and murmured: "Sure enough, you are worthy of being a flying crane in the clouds, and you are really good at lightness." He seemed to be talking to himself, or he seemed to be talking to Fu Hongxue, but when he turned his head around, Fu Hongxue, who had been standing there all along, had disappeared. The pool of blood has gradually congealed and no longer flows. The flames gradually faded away. Ye Kai stood alone in front of the stable - it seemed that he was the only one left in the world. Ma Kongqun, Hua Mantian, Fu Hongxue, Murong Mingzhu... these people seemed to have disappeared into the darkness all of a sudden. Ye Kai pondered, a smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he murmured: "Interesting and interesting, none of these people seem to be interesting..." The torches flicker on the prairie, but the stars in the sky have faded. Ye Kai wandered around in the dark, wandering east and west, aimlessly, it seemed that there was absolutely no one on the grassland who was more leisurely than him. The sky lanterns are on again. He put his hands behind his back and walked slowly under the sky lantern. Suddenly, the horse's hooves sounded sharply, the bridle bell shook lightly, and a horse rushed out of the darkness like a flying cloud. Immediately, the man's eyes were as bright as autumn water, he glanced at him, and suddenly he gave a soft drink, and the angry horse stood up, abruptly stopping beside him. What a handsome horse, what a handsome ride. Ye Kai smiled and said: "My aunt has not fallen to her death, it's rare." Ma Fangling stared at him like copper bells, and said with a sneer, "You linger, why haven't you left yet?" Ye Kai laughed and said, "How can you be willing to leave before seeing Miss Ma's face?" Ma Fangling yelled angrily: "You slick bastard, see if I can't beat you to death." She waved her long whip again, and whipped towards Ye Kai like a spirit snake. Ye Kai said with a smile: "You can't even kill a scumbag." Before he could finish his sentence, his men suddenly got on their horses and stuck closely behind Ma Fangling. Ma Fangling punched back with an elbow, and said angrily, "What are you thinking about?" She punched out with an elbow, and her arm was already caught. Ye Kai said softly: "The moon is dark and the wind is high, I can't find my way back, so how about asking Miss to give me a ride?" Ma Fangling gritted her teeth and said bitterly, "You'd better die." She punched out another elbow, and the other arm was also caught, and she couldn't even move. I just felt bursts of man's breath blowing on her neck and her hair roots. She wanted to shrink her neck and push back hard, but for some reason, she couldn't exert any strength from her whole body. The Rouge Nu under the seat, who must also be a mare, suddenly became gentle, and walked forward slowly with small steps. The grassland is empty, and a little bit of fire is flickering in the distance, like a fishing boat on the sea. The autumn wind blows towards you, and it seems to have become very gentle, as gentle as the spring breeze. She suddenly felt very hot, bit her lip, and said bitterly: "You...will you let go of my hand?" Ye Kai said: "Don't let go." Ma Fangling said: "You bastard, you scoundrel, if you don't go down, I will call you." She wanted to scold him severely, but even she heard her voice very gentle. What is this for? Ye Kai laughed and said, "You don't know how to bark, besides, even if you bark, no one can hear you." Ma Fangling said: "You...you...what do you want to do?" Ye Kai said: "I don't think about anything." His breathing was also as gentle as a spring breeze, and he continued slowly: "Look, the moonlight is so faint, the night is so bleak, a person who has been wandering all over the world, suddenly meets a girl like you, how can he be happy again?" What are you thinking?" Ma Fangling's breathing suddenly became rapid, and she wanted to speak, but she was afraid that her voice would tremble. Ye Kai suddenly said again: "Your heart is beating." Ma Fangling bit her lip hard, said: "If your heart doesn't beat, you are dead?" Ye Kai said: "But your heart beats very fast." Ma Fangling said: "I..." Ye Kai said: "Actually, you don't need to say it, I also understand what you mean." Ma Fangling said, "Oh?" Ye Kai said: "If you didn't like me, you wouldn't have stopped the horse just now, and you wouldn't let the horse walk slowly now." Ma Fangling said, "I...what should I do?" Ye Kai said: "You only need to whistle once, and this horse will let me fall." Ma Fangling suddenly smiled and said, "Thank you for reminding me." As soon as she whistled, the horse neighed softly, and the man stood up. Ye Kai really fell off the horse. She also fell down, and happened to fall into Ye Kai's arms. Hearing the ringing of the bridle bell, the horse had let go of its four hooves and ran away. Ye Kai sighed, and murmured: "Unfortunately, I forgot to remind you of one thing. If I fall, you will fall too." Ma Fangling gritted her teeth, and said bitterly, "You're such a bastard, you're such a rascal..." Ye Kai said: "But he is a very cute rascal, isn't he?" Ma Fangling said: "And it's very shameless." Before she finished speaking, she herself laughed "puchi" suddenly, but her face was also flushed. Such an open prairie, such a cool moonlight, such a lonely autumn night... But you call a young girl who is in love, how can she harden her heart and push away a man she doesn't hate. A bad and special man. Ma Fangling suddenly sighed softly, and said, "I've never seen someone like you before." Ye Kai said: "There are not many men like me." Ma Fangling said: "Do you treat other women like me?" Ye Kai said: "If I saw every woman like this, my head would have been beaten flat." Ma Fangling bit her lip again, and said, "You think I won't beat your head flat?" Ye Kai said: "You won't." Ma Fangling said: "Let go of my hand and see if I beat you flat?" Ye Kai let go of his hand. She turned around, raised her hand, and slapped it down. Her hands were raised high, but when they fell they were light. Ye Kai didn't dodge either, he just sat quietly on the ground and stared at her quietly. Her eyes shine like stars in the darkness. The wind is blowing, and the moonlight is farther away. She lowered her head slowly and said, "I...my name is Ma Fangling." Ye Kai said: "I know." Ma Fangling said: "You know?" Ye Kai said: "I have asked your Uncle Xiao about you!" Ma Fangling blushed and smiled, and said sweetly, "I've also asked about you, your name is Ye Kai." Ye Kai stared into her eyes, and said slowly: "I also know that you must have asked about me." Ma Fangling lowered her head, stood up suddenly, looked at the moonlight in the west, and said softly: "I...I should go back." Ye Kai didn't move, nor did he hold her back. Ma Fangling turned around, wanted to leave, but stopped again, and said, "When are you going to leave?" Ye Kai lay down on his back, and after a long time, he said slowly: "I won't go, I'll wait for you." Ma Fangling said: "Wait for me?" Ye Kai said: "No matter how long I have to stay, your Uncle Xiao will never drive me away." Ma Fangling looked back and smiled, and the person had fled away like a swallow. The sky has gradually changed from dark gray to light blue.The cold moon has gradually disappeared into the dawn. Ye Kai was still lying quietly, as if waiting for the sun to rise from the east. He knew he wouldn't have to wait long.
