Chapter Fifty-Six: The Knot of Cowardice
Qiu Xu and the others chased in the direction where Xiao Ling and the others fled, and arrived at the lake. There was no trace of the three of them, and they immediately separated their hands and looked around. Some people rowed and chased after them into the lake.
Xiao Ling used his true qi, and under the rapid rowing, the fishing boat flew towards the lake. Far away from the range of Wujia Village.
Guan Ti on the fishing boat sat on the board of the boat at this time, and his mind was like numbness.
Dai Xuantian, the deputy leader of the Dongting Gang, was the eldest disciple of his father Guan Yusong, and during the time when Guan Yu had memory, this eldest brother often took good care of him. Guan Yusong only had one son, and before he returned from a serious illness, he wanted to pass on the position of the helper to his proud disciple Dai Xuantian. But Dai Xuantian refused, and insisted on giving up the position of gang leader to Guan Ti, who was only fifteen years old. Dai Xuantian himself became the deputy gang leader. Guan was timid to become the leader of the gang, but he was young and playful, and he ignored all the affairs of the gang. Dai Xuantian worked hard and took care of the Dongting Gang in an orderly manner, and continued to expand the power of the gang. For this timidity, Dai Xuantian treated him like his own brother, and couldn't help but love and care for him, and even taught Qiu Xu and others to chase after him in the direction where Xiao Ling and the three of them fled, and arrived at the lake. There was no trace of the three of them, and they immediately separated their hands and looked around. Some people rowed and chased after them into the lake.

Guan was timid to become the leader of the gang, but he was young and playful, and he ignored all the affairs of the gang. Dai Xuantian worked hard and took care of the Dongting Gang in an orderly manner, and continued to expand the power of the gang. For this timidity, Dai Xuantian treated him like his own brother, not only loving and caring, but also teaching and taking care of him. Teach martial arts and the truth of life. made Guan Ti in the year of the weak crown, and he was famous for his martial arts.
The two brothers support and take care of each other on weekdays, and they get along very well until Jiang Yuerou appears.
Jiang Yuerou is the daughter of a large family. Dai Xuantian met him when he was dealing with the affairs of the gang. The two fell in love with each other at first sight and fell in love. After a year of correspondence, the two entrusted a matchmaker and agreed to get married.
On the day of the wedding, Dai Xuantian invited relatives and friends to a full house. After the ceremony, I bowed to my relatives. When everyone was making trouble in the cave room, Guan Ti saw Jiang Yuerou and was fascinated by her beauty on the spot.
In the cave room, Guan Ti confessed his admiration, which made Dai Xuantian extremely embarrassed. At first, everyone thought that Guan was drunk and talked nonsense, and pulled him out of the cave room. But I didn't want to, this Guan was cowardly outside the door all night. The mouth was full of infatuated words, which caused Dai Xuantian and his wife to stay awake all night on their wedding night. It's not an exaggeration, since this night. This level seems to be confused. entangled Jiang Yuerou all day long, for more than a month.
This behavior naturally made Dai Xuantian furious. However, no matter how angry Dai Xuantian was, this Guan was just infatuated. Since then, there has naturally been an additional layer of separation between the two brothers. Guan Ti was obsessed with Jiang Yuerou for a while, and somehow, he seemed to have woken up. knew that he couldn't stand Dai Xuantian, so he left the helmsman of the Chenglingji Dongting Gang. Wandering around the realm of the Dongting Gang all day long, taking care of some unfair things. This has made it very good among the people. It's just that his obsession with beautiful women hasn't changed. This time in the folk travel, every time I meet a woman he admires, he will be obsessed with it for a while. After this habit became known to the people in this area, the name of 'Beauty Drunk' spread.
Guan Ti's mind flashed the days in his life when he got along with Dai Xuantian. The teachings like a father, the love and care that is better than that of a brother, and the uncomplaining and unrepentant busyness for the Guan family. Although he ran away privately, in Guan Ti's heart, Dai Xuantian is his greatest reliance and the most feared person. He never imagined that one day, that great body would fall, and that shrewd and stubborn, blazing eyes would be closed and unable to open.
Jiang Yuerou, from the moment Guan Ti saw his face in his eldest brother's cave room, he decided. This woman is the person of his destiny. Heaven created man, always made in pairs, and then threw them into the sea of people. As a result, everyone has a fateful person living in their hearts throughout their lives. Jiang Yuerou is the person in Guan Tiao's fate.
The moment he saw Jiang Yuerou, Guan Ti lost all control, and only the fanaticism in his heart remained. At that moment, the qi and blood surged, rushed into the brain, and blocked all thinking. Only the weak, beautiful figure occupied everything for him. This fascination continued, and it was not until the anger of the eldest brother that it evoked a trace of sobriety in Guan Ti's brain. When this wakefulness is more, the more pain in the brain. I can't let go of that figure in my heart, and I don't want my eldest brother to be embarrassed. In desperation, he had to choose to leave. It's just that Jiang Yuerou's figure in his brain has always lingered, so Guan Ti searched in the sea of people, and every time he found a woman with a similar temperament and beauty to Jiang Yuerou, he followed his infatuation. It's just that these people are not Jiang Yuerou, and if they find out that they are different from Jiang Yuerou after being entangled for a period of time, they will leave with regret.
Jiang Yuerou is gone, and there will never be the figure of cowardice and infatuation in this world. Her departure will also take away that sense of fate in his heart. This pain made him so uncomfortable that he couldn't even believe the facts. If she lives, he still has sustenance and thoughts to place. If she leaves, he loses all direction and becomes confused.
At this time, Guan was timid, sitting on the board of the boat. His eyes were full of confusion, and he shouted in a daze: "Big brother, Rou'er β’β’β’β’β’β’"
Xiao Ling and Liu Yixu looked at the haggard man, although it was difficult to understand his heart, but they could also hear the heart-wrenching pain from the almost desperate voice.
Xiao Ling glanced at Guan Ti, and casually untied the bamboo flute he had been carrying on his body and put it to his mouth.
The flute sounded softly, knocking on the door of the heart, it was the song "The Sound of Rain".
Raindrops fall, sparsely and sparsely, bit by bit, bringing endless sorrow to fly; the wind blows, blowing up the vicissitudes of life, bringing up a large area of dark clouds; torrential rain pours down, pouring out a curtain of rain, washing away the fog of heaven and earthβ’β’β’β’β’β’
The timidity in the flute also gradually changed, and the confused eyes were gently closed. With the rotation of the flute, Guan Ti's painful face gradually faded, and slowly rose an invisible but extremely tenacious look.
When the flute stopped, Guan Ti opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Ling: "Thank you, Guan is confused." Pain is useless, crying is useless. Kindness should be returned, revenge should be avenged. I'm going back to Chenglingji Dongting Gang Helm!"
Xiao Ling nodded, and was about to row to find direction. But I saw a small building boat in the distance heading towards this side. A woman in red stood on the bow of the boat and shouted to Xiao Ling's boat: "Whoever plays a good tune, smelling it from afar, will feel infinite vitality and infinite power." The little woman is not talented, and she has the heart to ask for advice. β
When Xiao Ling heard this, he felt very familiar, and he stayed closer. Seeing the figure of the woman at the head of the bed, I was happy in my heart. This woman in red was Liang Jing, the palace master of Nabiyou Palace that day. At that moment, Xiao Ling responded loudly: "Haha, it's the palace master of Liang! It's a blessing. β
Liang Jing heard Xiao Ling's voice, and sailed in again to see the three people on the boat. Xiao Ling at this time is different from what he saw last time, although there are many differences. But he still vaguely remembered that temperament, and replied happily at the moment: "Haha, it turns out that Xiao Gongzi's music is so beautiful." It was really disrespectful that day, but this time I have to ask for advice. β
Xiao Ling replied: "In front of the Liang Palace Master, how can I afford to ask for advice." If you don't give up, it's good to talk to each other. β
As he spoke, the two ships approached. Liang Jing said to Xiao Ling: "In this case, then please invite Xiao Gongzi and the three of them to come to my boat for a while." On that day, Xiao Gongzi and Lu Daxia have always been very grateful for my help in Biyou Palace. β
After Xiao Ling waited for the two boats to be next to each other, he tied the rope of the fishing boat to the building boat. Then he took Liu Yixu and Guan Ti to jump upstairs to the boat. But at this time, a few more people came out of the boat, it was the golden flute and jade pen, Gao Shenghan, and the girl in the little clothes. Xiao Yi cast a strange look after seeing Xiao Ling, and said, "Brother Xiao, isn't it good? I haven't seen you for a long time, and I brought a big beauty by my side." My eldest brother Lu, why didn't I stay with you!"
After Xiaoyi's question, Xiao Ling's face flushed, and he hurriedly defended: "Little child, don't talk nonsense." This is Liu Yixu, a native of Danxiamen. As he spoke, he pointed to Liu Yixu and introduced it to everyone.
Xiaoyi looked embarrassed at Xiao Ling, and secretly laughed in his heart.
Xiao Ling hurriedly introduced Liang Jing and others to Liu Yixu. When I was about to introduce Guan Ti to everyone.
Liang Jing had already said to Guan Ti: "This is! Your gang has had a big incident recently. Can you know!" Obviously, this Liang Jing and Guan Jing know each other.
Guan Ti replied, "Palace Master Liang, is my eldest brother really poisoned?" he said, but he looked at Liang Jing expectantly.
Liang Jing nodded: "I received the news yesterday." The three elders of your gang have issued a joint order of elders, which has now been announced to the world. Deputy Gang Leader Dai and his wife were indeed killed. It's just that this joint order says that the murderer is the leader of the gang. Is there something going on?" After speaking, Liang Jing looked at Guan Ti with a wary expression.
Guan Ti replied: "Big brother, Rou'er is really in trouble. Although Guan is not talented, he is not enough to commit such a rebellious thing. My eldest brother was killed by someone, and I have been living in Wujia Village with Brother Xiao and Miss Liu these days. How can you harm my own brother? β
Hearing this, Liang Jing looked at Xiao Ling.
Xiao Ling nodded: "During this period of nearly seven days, the Guan Gang Master has indeed been waiting with me in Wujia Village. It's just that I don't know when Deputy Dai's gang leader was killed. β
Liang Jing replied: "The time of the murder should be the night before yesterday, so there is another hidden story in this period. β
Xiao Ling replied: "Now that Wujia Village has been slaughtered, I am afraid that it is also related to the wrongful treatment of the Guan gang leader. At that moment, Xiao Ling simply told the slaughter of Wujia Village, the misunderstanding of the three people, and the pursuit and escape for their lives.
Guan timidly waited for Xiao Ling to finish speaking, and then said: "The person who slaughtered Wujia Village is the killer of Qiudaomen. The target of this Autumn Dao Gate is generally not ordinary villagers, and this massacre of the village is probably also to kill the mouth, to eliminate human evidence, and to slander me. If it weren't for the variable of Xiao Gongzi and Miss Liu. I'm afraid I've been disposed of as my eldest brother's murderer. β
Xiao Ling felt a chill in his heart when he heard this: "So, now Yixu and I have also been involved in this game." But who, and why, do these things?"
Guan timidly replied: "All this, wait for me to go back to the Chenglingji Dongting Gang first." Naturally, there will be a difference. β
Liang Jing said worriedly when she heard this: "If the Guan Gang Master goes back like this, I'm afraid it will be a sheep's mouth." Fall into their trap!"
Guan replied: "My eldest brother's bones are not cold, if I don't show up now." But it just shows that I have a ghost in my heart. I want to go back openly. Let's see who is going to calculate Guan. β
Liang Jing replied: "If the Guan gang leader is innocent, he is not afraid to go to confront him. This behavior is also reasonable. I, Biyou Palace, have always been good friends with your gang. Now, Deputy Dai is dead. We also need to go and worship. Why don't we go together and see who is the deputy gang leader. β
Xiao Ling also replied: "Haha, since Xiao is already in it. So he went to give a witness to the Guan Gang Master. If this deputy gang leader Dai was indeed killed the day before yesterday, it should not be the gang leader Guan's doing. β
When Guan Ti heard this, he bowed to Liang Jing, Xiao Ling and others: "Guan is not talented, thank you for treating him like this." I can't thank you enough. β
Liang Jing and Xiao Ling immediately helped Guan Ti up. At that moment, Liang Jing asked the boatman to drop the head of the bed, and everyone went to Chenglingji.
Teachings to take care of. Teach martial arts and the truth of life. made Guan Ti in the year of the weak crown, and he was famous for his martial arts.
