Chapter Eighty-Three: Mutual Forbearance II
readx;
Most of the people in the rivers and lakes only know that Ying Hanlong, the "Dragon Lance", is the owner of the Dragon Guardian Villa, but few people know that he is one of the three masters under the throne. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
There are two major sects in the martial arts that are famous for their marksmanship: one is the Cangzhou Wang family, and the other is the Liaodong Ding family.
The Cangzhou Wang family has been victorious for more than 300 years, while the Ding family in Liaodong has suffered heavy losses due to the battle to help the imperial court conquer the Tianlong Gang 16 years ago, and the elite of the faction have almost suffered casualties, and now they are almost dead in name.
Although the Ding family in Liaodong has declined, in recent years, Hulong Villa has risen rapidly, and it has the potential to catch up with the Wang family in Cangzhou.
Ying Hanlong is a descendant disciple of the Ding family in Liaodong, and he is also the son-in-law of Ding Jiuxuan, the head of the Ding family today. Therefore, in a sense, the rise of the Dragon Protector Villa is also the rise of the Ding family in Liaodong. This is also where the Ding family in Liaodong is gratified.
Now most of the disciples of the Ding family are working in the Dragon Guardian Villa.
The east is turning white, and it is almost dawn.
The Dragon Protector Villa is brilliantly lit.
Ying Hanlong wore linen and filial piety, and walked slowly towards the ancestral hall with a blue face. Behind him, he was followed by a large group of gangsters dressed in linen and filial piety, all with sad faces.
The mourning hall has already been built, the inside and outside of the ancestral hall are plain white, the sky is gloomy and misty, and the wind and wood in the village are sad.
The incense candles in the ancestral hall are blazing, and there are four brand-new black spirit tablets, which are engraved with the four names of "Dingzhou Mountain", "Dingzhou River", "Dingzhou Lake" and "Dingzhou Sea".
With tears in his eyes, Ying Hanlong took the incense stick from the hand of a subordinate, knelt on the ground, and respectfully bowed three buttons and nine bows. And all his subordinates hurried to follow him.
After the salute, Ying Hanlong stood up and said in a deep voice: "Take the dagger!"
One of his subordinates walked briskly over with a small square tray containing a bloody dagger and a porcelain bowl.
Ying Hanlong rolled up his sleeves, revealing his muscled left arm, then took the dagger and swiped it at the veins in his wrist, and blood immediately burst out.
"Ahh
Ying Hanlong didn't seem to feel pain at all, took the bowl, and filled it with a bowl of blood.
Several helpers rushed over to bandage him.
"Brother Zhoushan!Brother Zhouchuan!Brother Zhouhu!Brother Zhouhai!" Ying Hanlong said sadly: "For the sake of the overall situation, the eldest brother has to ...... Kill you personally!Big Brother ...... I'm sorry you ......" as he spoke, choked up and couldn't speak.
After a long while, Ying Hanlong stabilized his emotions and said in a choked voice: "Big brother, I don't ask for your forgiveness! I just want to be a cow and a horse for you in the next life, and I will repay you as a ...... Four good brothers, the eldest brother hereby vows: I will definitely kill the enemy for you and avenge this sea of blood! Good brother, rest in peace!"
Speaking of this, he took the bowl, splashed the blood in the bowl in front of the spirit, smashed the bowl with a "choking" sound, and then turned around and strode out.
Ying Hanlong came to the hall and sat motionless on his chair.
After a long while, one of the subordinates standing beside him said cautiously: "The owner of the village mourns...... What do we do next?"
Ying Hanlong glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "Order: Prepare breakfast!"
"Helper, do you still want to keep an eye on them?"
"Of course!
"Alas, the unfortunate messenger...... How long are you going to keep an eye on?"
"So much nonsense!" Ying Hanlong glared at him, "Don't go yet!"
The subordinate didn't dare to say anything more, and walked quickly to the kitchen.
Ying Hanlong stood up, slowly walked to the weapon rack, slowly took off an eight-treasure exquisite spear, stroked the dragon scale cloud pattern on the gun's body, his face was cold, and muttered: "Brother gun, brother gun, you have been lonely for a long time! I have good news for you: the opportunity to drink the blood of the enemy is just around the corner!"

Although the famous families of the Ming Dynasty are not small, most of them are poetic families, while the famous families like the Nangong family, who are martial arts heirlooms and are rich, are very rare.
The Nangong family is located in Longmen Town, Luoyang, and the world-famous Longmen Grottoes are located in its territory.
The Nangong family has been prosperous for more than 180 years, with more than 6,300 clansmen. In the entire Longmen Town, there is almost no family that does not have the surname Nangong.
In this branch alone, there are nearly 800 sect members. The patriarch is not only the patriarch of this branch, but also the patriarch of the entire Nangong family.
Therefore, the Nangong family mentioned in the rivers and lakes refers to the branch of the patriarch.
The late patriarch of the previous generation, Nangong Wang, had a total of seven children: Nangong Chihuo, Nangong Orange Light, Nangong Huangxing, Nangong Green Wood, Nangong Qingxia, Nangong Blue Grass, and Nangong Ziyan.
Today's patriarch is Nangong Wang's third son, Nangong Huang Xing.
It is said that this Nangong Huang Xing's "unintentional willow insertion" swordsmanship has been practiced to the realm of doing what he wants and being natural. Although its attainments may not be able to reach the level of masters such as Shaolin Kongwu and Wudang Ebony, compared with the heads of Wutai, Kunlun, Huashan, Emei and other factions, the plan is not far behind.
What makes the Nangong family even more excited is that Nangong Huang Xing's son, the current young master and future patriarch, Nangong Fu, is not only handsome and extraordinary, but also has a great tendency to stand out in martial arts compared to his father.
Not only that, Nangong Fu is also very talented. At the age of twenty-one, he took over the management of the specific affairs of the Nangong family from his father, and in the past three years, he has taken care of the daily business of the Nangong family in an orderly manner, and the business is booming.
It is said that those who tried to marry their daughters to Nangong Fu to cling to the Nangong family are not exaggerated to describe them as "too many to write". Among these families, there are many leaders of the martial arts faction, the heads of the official eunuchs, and even the legend that even King Chong once had the intention of letting him be his son-in-law.
But for some reason, these family affairs were all politely rejected by Nangong Fu.
Nangong Fu didn't know, just because he hadn't married yet, he didn't know how many wealthy daughters who should have been out of the cabinet were still waiting in the boudoir, waiting for grievances in the faint hope.
The reason for the strong power of the Nangong family, in addition to its own extraordinary strength, of course, also has a great relationship with the attachment to King Chong.
But in addition to this, there is another important reason: they also have a strong arm.
If I tell you that only one of Nangong Wang's seven children is a daughter, can you guess who it is?
Many readers may have guessed it. Yes, it's Nangong Qingxia!
If I tell you that Nangong Qingxia is the head of the Qingxia of the Hengshan faction, I believe you will already fully understand.
Speaking of this Nangong Qingxia, her reputation when she was young was by no means smaller than her current name. The "Three Heroines of the Rivers and Lakes", which was the envy of the boys and girls in the rivers and lakes, was among them, and the head of the three heroines was her Nangong Qingxia!
Nangong Qingxia was infatuated with Situ Yichen's son, but Situ Yichen died in the battle to eradicate the Tang Gate. This incident broke Nangong Qingxia's liver and intestines, so she cut her hair and escaped into the empty door.
People say that their family members abandon the seven emotions and six desires, and the six roots are pure, neither happy nor sad, but can people really cut off the red dust?
Nangong Huang Xing's face was solemn, sitting on the main seat of the hall, Nangong Chihuo, Nangong Green Wood, and Nangong Ziyan sat on the left and right.
"Seventh brother, where are they now?" Nangong Huang Xing looked at Nangong Ziyan and asked in a deep voice.
"Ruyang. ”
"Is it a message from Ying Hanlong?"
"Yes. Nangong Ziyan nodded, "They don't walk fast, they eat when they should eat, and stay when they should stay." Looks like they want to keep their spirits up and keep their stamina up to deal with us!"
"Hmm......" Nangong Huang Xing nodded, with a suspicious look on her face, "Is it really about forty people?"
"You can't go wrong!"
"Yes...... This is too little!" Nangong Huang Xing shook his head, suddenly saved, and said excitedly: "Seventh brother, have you found their follow-up team?"
"Nope. Nangong Ziyan shook his head, "A radius of two hundred miles, there are all our eyeliner, but we haven't noticed it yet." ”
"It's really weird!" Nangong Huang Xing's eyes were covered with a layer of fog.
"Third brother, you said they ...... Could it be that they weren't coming at us?"
Nangong Huang Xing glanced at him, noncommittal, muttered for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Whether it is or not, we must be fully prepared!"
"Third brother, don't worry too much!" Nangong Lumu's eyes flashed, and he stroked his long gray hair and said slowly: "I don't believe it, he Miao Yi can really find the hidden place of those treasures...... With suspicion alone, without evidence, what can we do?!"
"Fourth brother, if that's the case, what am I worried about?" Nangong Huang Xing glanced at Nangong Lumu and muttered: "Alas, Miao Yizhen will never fight an uncertain battle in his life...... You say, "Can you not be worried?"
The four brothers frowned and remained silent.
"By the way, Seventh Brother, when will Wu Yiyun and Wu Shaoyuan arrive?"
"Oh, Wu Yiyun has already set off this morning, and he should be able to arrive in the evening; Wu Shaoyuan was injured a little during the assassination of Miao Yizhen, and he can't ride a horse for the time being, so he may have to recuperate for a day before he can come over. ”
"Oh. Nangong Huang Xing's face was a little lighter, and she said softly: "That's good! As long as Wu Yiyun can arrive in time, there is nothing to be afraid of!"
"Third brother, now that the situation is already dangerous, do you want to repair another book, and ask the fifth sister to come back to help?"
"It's useless!" Nangong Huang Xing shook her head and sighed lightly: "Fifth sister's temper, you don't know it." It's not fun to talk to yourself!"
"This person is really heartless!" Nangong Chi was so angry that he stomped his feet fiercely.
"Big brother, in fact, it's okay!" Nangong Huang Xing said in a deep voice: "The fifth sister will not be involved for the time being, and Hengshan will not be involved for the time being." In that case, it leaves us a way out!"
"The third brother said very much. Nangong Lumu nodded in agreement, and muttered lightly: "Blood, after all, is thicker than water!" I think that if the situation really reaches a critical moment, the fifth sister will definitely not sit idly by!"
The four brothers were at ease. Silence fell again.
"Fourth brother, where is Fu'er now?" Nangong Huang Xing suddenly asked.
"Dengfeng. Deal with the Grange. ”
"Oh. You fix the book immediately and let him come back immediately!"
"Yes. Nangong Lumu immediately got up and walked out of the hall.
"Seventh brother, I have to work hard for you. Nangong Huang Xing looked at Nangong Ziyan, and said: "You will go to Ruyang in person immediately, and together with Ying Hanlong, secretly monitor Miao Yizhen and his party!"
※※※
Ying Hanlong led sixteen subordinates, pretending to be a dart master, and followed Miao Yizhen and his party all the way.
Nangong Ziyan took two juniors, pretending to be messengers who delivered official documents, and rode before Ying Hanlong and his party, only half a mile behind the goal. He had this confidence: it was impossible to lose it.
To their surprise, Miao Yizhen and his entourage arrived in Luoyang, but they did not go in the direction of Longmen Town, but continued to go north along the official road, which seemed to be heading towards Mengzhou.
"What should I do?" Ying Hanlong found an opportunity and asked Nangong Ziyan softly.
"Keep following!" Nangong Ziyan had a posture of "not giving up if you don't reach the Yellow River".
Sure enough, I followed all the way to Mengzhou. It was in the evening of the next day.
This time it was a surprise.
Miao Yizhen and his entourage did not find an inn to stay in as usual, but went straight through Mengzhou and headed northwest.
The terrain is getting higher. Turn from the official road to the trail and then to the mountain road. Miao Yizhen and his entourage were not in a hurry and went up the mountain.
"What's going on?" Ying Hanlong was suspicious.
"Keep following!" Nangong Ziyan has the perseverance of "not entering the tiger's den and getting the tiger".
There is a dilapidated temple on the hill, the incense has been discarded, and it looks very bleak in the twilight.
Miao Yizhen and his entourage entered the temple gate, and the temple suddenly woke up like a male teacher, and there was a lot of noise.
"How can this be?" Nangong Ziyan's heart tightened, and he jumped to the door of the temple with a few ups and downs, took a light breath, pulled up out of thin air like light smoke, and leaned on the yellow wall and poked out half of his head to look.
"It's so light! It's really worthy of the nickname of 'passing clouds'!" Ying Hanlong admired in his heart.
No wonder it was so noisy, the courtyard of the temple was full of black and pressed human heads! Nangong Ziyan's heart was shocked.
An ominous premonition came over me.
With a "bang", a sword light slashed like lightning.
Nangong Ziyan pressed on the wall, and the harrier-like flew upside down two feet away.
"Hahaha!" The two figures chased after each other and flew over the wall, and the dazzling sword light cut through the air, "Sneaky people, where to escape! I wanted to kill you for a long time!"
A large group of people poured out of the temple gate, but they all stood and refused to make a move, and everyone looked at Nangong Ziyan and Ying Hanlong with the eyes of a dead man.
Nangong Ziyan pulled out a long sword in mid-air, and "resonated" it was sealed and slashed.
Another sword-like light slashed horizontally, Nangong Ziyan snorted, blood splattered from his waist, and he fell to the ground with his hands and feet.
With a "suddenly" sound, the snowy knife light slashed his figure and slashed down.
"When!" a delicate pagoda-like spear head blocked horizontally, saving Nangong Ziyan's head.
The Zhang brothers landed, the sword light flew like a raging snowstorm, and in the sound of "dangdang", although the eight-treasure exquisite spear in Ying Hanlong's hand circled vertically and horizontally, his feet retreated sharply.
Zhang Chuanhao suddenly flew up like a meteor, the knife flashed, and a human head flew out. The leaderless Ying Han Longwu stood on his own and did not fall, and the blood in his neck spurted fiercely!
Nangong Ziyan was frightened, and jumped to the foot of the mountain.
"Don't leave anyone!" Miao Yizhen, who was standing at the root of the yellow wall, said with a cold face.
