Chapter 30: Xu Gang

Li Changsheng has been studying Taoist Kung Fu for a year. He has deeply realized that women's beauty and sexy and men's handsome and strong will be taken away by time. After decades, both boys and girls will become old people with age spots and wrinkles. Natural beauty and handsome will not last forever. Those who don't understand Tao, Lao zi said they are walking corpse. They are aging, ugly and dead in the days of repetition. Therefore, he would abandon the temptation of fame, wealth and power and go to Zhongnan Mountain to practice without hesitation. He didn't know how long he could practice in Zhongnan Mountain in the future, and maybe time could change Yan Yue's mind.

Li Changsheng said, "Well, please go back to Xuzhou with your parents and wait for me. I will practice in Zhongnan Mountain for three years. After three years, I will go down the mountain and marry you."

The two exchanged betrothal gifts and made an appointment to meet in three years. Li Changsheng called Du Qing and Yin Yue's parents into the room and announced his engagement to the public. Everyone was delighted and cheered. But now that everyone is on the road, all engagement ceremonies can only be simple. Du Qing gave the short sword to the two as a gift. Yin Shicang and his wife have seen Li Changsheng's ability, and they know that he is a student of Peking University through contact these days. They think Li Changsheng is reliable. They are quite satisfied with such a good son-in-law. Unfortunately, it will take three years to marry her daughter. Fortunately, Yan Yue is only seventeen years old, and it doesn't matter to wait three years.

After bustling for a while, several people went to a restaurant on the first floor for breakfast. As soon as they went downstairs, they saw a table of guests sitting in the restaurant.When the guests saw them, they glanced at them and continued to eat and drink.

At the table near the door sat a middle-aged man with three long whiskers on his chin and a white face. It looks very gentle and elegant. On his left is a man dressed as a local farmer, who is raising his glass and saying, "Brother Xu, I haven't seen you for many years. You still look refreshed and healthy. Congratulations!"

Xu raised his glass with a smile and said, "I work hard on the 800-square-kilometer Dongting Lake every day. It is often windy and sunny. It is you who live alone in Shennong Villa in Xiangtan City. The environment is quiet and comfortable!"

On the right of the man surnamed Xu is a black fat man. He also raised his glass and said, "Xiangtan is a picturesque city with many outstanding people. Brother Xu often mentioned you to me. Our old friends in the Hunan army in the past are not many now."

The farmer laughed and said, "Dear friends, when you come to Xiangtan to work, your business is my business. I will help you with all my strength and let us drink this cup!"

Next to the black fat man is a young woman. Her long hair is gently held by a ribbon. She is dressed in white clothes and has a graceful figure. Her fingers holding the cup are soft and delicate. She has a flute in her waist.

Opposite the woman in white is a monk and a Taoist. The monk has a fat face and big ears. He drinks Baijiu quickly. When he looks at people, he is as powerful as a tiger .The Taoist looked very cultured. He raised his glass and drank slowly, then smiled and said nothing.

After Li Changsheng and the five of them sat down at the table by the window, Du Qing shouted, "Waiter, steamed stuffed bun, porridge, soy milk, fried dough sticks, we all have two portions, and we eat one, pack one and take it away."

The first table guests over there put down their glasses.The man who was surnamed Xu, ruminated, filled a glass of wine, and walked over and said, "Confucius said, it's great to have friends coming from afar. Excuse me, are you from the south? I have something to ask."

Du Qing said, "OK. You're welcome."

The man surnamed Xu stared at Du Qing's face without blinking and asked, "There was a big event that shocked the whole country a few days ago in Hengyang. Do you know who did it?"

Du Qing was shocked. He knew that they were blocked in the inn by gangsters. However, at the critical moment, who dares wins.Du Qing pretended to say casually, "I heard that the thing you said is gangster infighting."

"What you said is very reasonable!" The man surnamed Xu suddenly stepped forward, and the wine in his glass splashed on Du Qing's face. Du Qing turned his head away from the wine. The man surnamed Xu coiled his hands like a snake around Du Qing's arms, and quickly lifted them up. Du Qing immediately felt pain in his heart, and his arms were soft and hanging down, which had been removed from his shoulder joint by the man surnamed Xu.

The black fat man and the farmer jumped at Yan Yue's parents together. The tall and fat monk roared, overturned the table in front of him, and then stretched out two huge palms to grasp Li Changsheng. When Yin Yuegang wanted to stand up, the woman in white floated over like a shadow and hit her in the ribs. Yan Yue was pale and unstable, and sat down slowly again.

In the blink of an eye, there was a hijacking in the hotel. Li Changsheng wanted to remind everyone of the Dongting Lake bandit Xu Gang after breakfast. He didn't expect to see a table of people as soon as he went downstairs. Li Changsheng pretended to be calm and searched around with his spirit. He found that there were two snipers on the roof opposite the hotel, lying there with guns and aiming at the door of the hotel. In the bamboo forest opposite the back door of the hotel, there was also a man with a gun aiming at the back door of the hotel.

Li Changsheng then touched the six people in the room with his spirit. He found the fat man and Xu with a shotgun, and the others were daggers.

Li Changsheng was relieved after knowing the situation of everyone else. When he was considering how to quietly remind Du Qing and Yan Yue's family in front of the enemy, the man surnamed Xu came.

In a flash, everyone was controlled by the bandits. Du Qing's arm and shoulder joint are dislocated. Li Changsheng's shoulder blade was seized by the fat monk, and his left arm was twisted behind him by the fat monk, unable to move. Yin Yue was controlled by a woman in white, and Yin Shicang and his wife were knocked to the ground by the fat man and the farmer, with a short knife on their neck.

The man surnamed Xu sat there carelessly, smiled proudly, and turned back to the other people and said, "How about that? I don't believe how powerful these people are! Are they three heads and six arms? What kind of people have we not seen in the murders and robberies of the Xu Gang in Dongting Lake these years? This time all the elites we have come, we are making a storm in a teacup, we attach too much importance to them."

"Taoist Sun, please go out and call in the three snipers outside the door, and let them all have some breakfast. Then we will take these people back to Dongting Lake and torture them slowly."
