The three of them put on masks and changed into the attire of ordinary Jianghu figures and sat at the street seats of a restaurant across the street from Manqing Tower, enjoying the sweetness of the manga.
At this time, Kou Zhong had finished paraphrasing Wang Shichong's words. Ba Fenghan said first: "It turns out that He's Bi is so weird, but even Ruo Cihang, Jingzhai and Ning Daoqi can't figure out the secret of its transformation. I'm afraid no one else in the world can."
There's a solution.
Kou Zhong said with a smile: "I don't understand what strange use it has. The most important thing is to destroy the good deeds of Shi Feixuan and Li Shimin. When I rise up in the future, I will use it as a handsome seal. It will be fun to think about it! How can you two help me?"
Don't help me.
Ba Fenghan said sternly: There is no problem in helping you, but after getting the treasure, I will have to study it for ten or eight days.
Kou Zhong laughed and said, "Of course there is no problem with this. Since we are brothers, we must share blessings and share disasters."
Ba Fenghan smiled bitterly and said: You know how to hit snakes and follow them with a stick. Hey! Why is Ziling's brows furrowed?
Xu Ziling sighed and said: Brother Fenghan seems to have never heard of Jing Nian Chan Yuan despite his vast knowledge. From this we can know that the people in the Chan Yuan are truly foreign masters who don't care about worldly affairs. How can we bother their Jing Nian disciples?
Be happy.
Ba Feng snorted coldly: "If they really don't care about world affairs, they shouldn't get their hands on He's Bi. If they get their hands on He's Bi, they can't blame us for stealing the treasure."
After a pause, he patted Xu Ziling on the shoulder and said with a smile: Don't worry, Ziling! Let's first try to confirm that He's Bi is hidden in the temple before stealing or robbing it, so you don't have to feel unhappy!
Kou Zhong said in astonishment: I never expected that Lao Ba could be so considerate of Young Master Ling.
Ba Fenghan said: I, Ba Fenghan, rarely make friends with others. I don’t know why but I prefer to fall in love with you. Since friends, they should be considerate and considerate of each other. This is the way to make friends.
Kou Zhong frowned and said: It's not that I don't want to think about the mausoleum, but the method you just proposed is easier said than done. Just imagine that in such a large monastery, unless you disturb the peace of one of the monks and arrest him for torture, how can you know whether the He's Bi is in the temple?
Liao Ba Fenghan said confidently: To untie the bell, you still need the one who tied it. You should listen to my reasoning first!
The two of them asked in surprise: What inference?
Ba Fenghan said calmly: Assuming that the one named Qin Chuan is really Shi Fei Xuan, then she might have just taken over the Heshi Bi from Ning Daoqi and went to test Li Shimin's qualifications to be the future emperor. So Zi Ling sensed her pregnancy.
treasure…
Kou Zhong was shocked and said: I understand. So as long as Ziling wanders around Jingnianhui Temple for a week, he can find out where He's Bi is hidden or whether it is not in the temple at all! It's a good plan.
Ba Fenghan's eyes were shining and he said solemnly: But our wishful thinking may not work at all.
Xu Ziling said: Since Shi Fei Xuan was relieved and handed over the Heshi Bi to Master Kongchan for safekeeping, she was sure that he had the ability to protect the treasure. Just look at what kind of closed-mouthed meditation he practiced and even Wang Shichong couldn't see through his depth.
His accomplishments and accomplishments are extraordinary.
Kou Zhong said: If the treasure could be stolen easily, Wang Shichong would have taken action already. Hey! This is not appropriate.
Both of them stared at him.
Kou Zhong showed an expression of recollection and thought and said: When I asked Wang Shichong why he didn't send people to steal the treasure, he showed a bitter expression, as if he had suffered a miserable loss. Maybe he had sent experts to explore the truth, but it turned out to be a failure.
And that's why we were asked to take action.
Ba Fenghan and Xu Ziling both frowned when they heard this because if they had already alerted the snake, even if the master and his concubine would not move the treasure, the Jing Nian Temple would be more vigilant, making the theft of the treasure much more difficult.
Xu Ziling said: Your speculation is reasonable. I don't believe that Wang Shichong is willing to trust you so much in such a short period of time. And everyone can see that you are a careerist who is extremely ambitious and unwilling to submit to others. So it may be that he used the knife to kill people.
.
He's Bi is not in the temple at all, so the cunning rabbit cooked it before it was dead.
Kou Zhong smiled bitterly and said: Brother, you are playing tricks on me again!
Ba Fenghan laughed dumbly and said: There is really nothing we can do against you two. However, Zi Ling's conjecture is also very reasonable. The whole thing may have been designed by Wang Shichong to frame you. I knew it would be like that. Hey! Shangguanlong's carriage has arrived!
Ba Fenghan strode to the street and was about to cross the busy boulevard when Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong grabbed Qidao from the left and right respectively: "Why are you pulling me?"
Kou Zhong said awkwardly: "I forgot to tell you that we have always owed money to the brothel and never once did we have a good outcome."
Ba Fenghan laughed hoarsely and said: If there is such a thing, should we go home and sleep now? Or I can blast Shangguanlong down the street and you can take care of it.
Xu Ziling said flatly: Of course we have to take action tonight, but at least you should tell us your battle plan!
Ba Fenghan said casually: "What kind of means are needed to deal with a big minion of the Yingui sect? Just use the method of a horse thief to kill people, break in at lightning speed, steal the person, and then find a place where I can execute and torture him."
Even the ancestors of all generations must come clean.
Kou Zhong said: Isn't this the plan? Among the thirty-six strategies, this is called attacking quickly and attacking slowly. But it seems that you should tell us which courtyard and wing room Shangguanlong's long room is to prevent us from touching the wrong door.
Ba Fenghan smiled bitterly and said: "Sorry, I can't obey this because I don't know. So I'm going to search from house to house and shake him up."
Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong looked at each other in astonishment.
Ba Fenghan smiled and said: Don't worry, two brothers, I'm working on this. I'm just joking with you! Come on! A brothel is a place where you can enter as long as you have money in your pocket. First, find four or five beautiful girls to talk to.
Let’s take a long-term plan!
Kou Zhongqi said: There are only three of us, why do you want to find four or five to accompany us?
Ba Fenghan stared at the main entrance of Manqingyuan across the street and said confidently: This move is the thirty-seventh one out of the thirty-six. It is called too many monks and too little rice. Gentlemen like you, who are good at food and sex, will find it easier in the competition among the girls.
Brother Chu must learn this trick.
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling both found it funny and thought that there would be so much knowledge.
The more I interact with Ba Fenghan, the more I realize that he is not as ruthless as he appears, but is much funnier than ordinary people.
At this time, several people came to the outside of Manqing Courtyard, stopped for a moment, and then walked in proudly. One of them was personable. Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling shouted at the same time: Song Shidao!
It turned out to be Song Shidao, the second brother of Song Yuzhi, a master of the Song Dynasty whom he had not seen for a long time.
I still remember the scene when Song Shidao invited them to take a boat to go west because of his love for Fu Junchuo. It is still vivid in my mind as if it happened yesterday. I can't help but feel emotional.
As the three of them were crossing the street, two or three more martial arts figures entered the courtyard, as if they had made an appointment.
Ba Fenghan whispered: If the situation is not right, something will definitely happen in Manqingyuan.
Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong both agreed.
But since we had already arrived in front of the courtyard gate and it was inconvenient to talk, we had to keep silent and step in.
Several big men guarding the door stretched out their hands to stop the three of them and said: Tonight, Manqingyuan has arranged for the prince of Changbai. No one will be entertained without an invitation. You three, please go to other places!
Kou Zhong was stunned and said: It's not surprising that there is an emperor in Luoyang, so what kind of emperor comes from Changbai?
The big man guarding the door saw that the three of them were of majestic build, one had a scarred face, the other had a pockmarked face, and the third one had a dark face, which showed that he was not a good man. He could only explain angrily: The prince is the Prince of the World, Prince Bo, and not some kind of prince.
The three of them were shocked when they heard this.
Wang Bo is the number one master in Changbai. In terms of martial arts, his reputation in the north is greater than that of Li Mi, Du Fuwei and others. Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling even competed with his son Wang Kuijie, and his martial arts can already rank among the first-class masters. From this,
That is to say, Bo, the king of promotion, is brilliant.
What is puzzling is why Wang Bo, who has always dominated the Changbai area, suddenly arrived in Luoyang and made a big deal about it, including Manqingyuan to feast his friends. Doesn't this mean that Wang Shichong is regarded as nothing? But if you think about Wang Shichong's current situation further,
There is really no time to deal with Wang Bo.
Kou Zhong laughed out loud and said, "Of course we know who the prince is! It's just a joke! We are here tonight just as requested, but because it was convenient, we turned around and walked half a step slowly. Brother Song who just entered is Senior Taoist Brother Song."
All the invitations for those who are with us are on him. Don’t you believe it? Please take us to meet him and we can find out!
All those big gatekeepers were old Jianghu who would be easily tricked by him. One of them laughed and said: It turns out that they are friends of Mr. Song. Please ask the three distinguished men to ask Mr. Song and then guide the three gentlemen.
Kou Zhong said happily in his plan: Tell Mr. Song that Fu Renzhong has arrived!
The man left in a hurry.
The three of them wisely stood aside so as not to hinder other guests from entering.
There is an endless stream of visitors, and all of them are distinguished figures in the world.
Kou Zhong took the opportunity to inquire about the news and asked one of the doorkeepers insinuatingly: How many girls are there in your Manqing courtyard? What is your eldest brother's surname?
He was asking an older man who usually has too much experience and is reluctant to offend others.
Sure enough, the man replied: My name is Li Xiong, you must have arrived in Luoyang for the first time. We have more than 300 girls in Manqing Courtyard, all of whom are carefully selected.
Xu Ziling was not interested in listening to their answers and pulled Ba Fenghan away three or four steps and whispered: Everyone should know about Wang Bo's banquet here. Why didn't the princess tell you?
Ba Fenghan frowned and said: She didn't know that I would attack Shangguan Long, but there would always be a problem if she knew but didn't tell.
At this time, another group of ten people came into the courtyard holding invitations. One of them from the corner of Xu Ziling's eyes was Li Jing. He knew that he recognized his scarred face. He was so frightened that he hurriedly turned around and hunched over.
Kou Zhong, who was trying to obtain information, was so frightened that he kept silent for fear that Li Jing would recognize his voice.
Li Jing and others thought that the three of them were doorkeepers and went in without thinking.
Ba Fenghan leaned into Xu Ziling's ear and said: It's such a coincidence that the answer comes to a question just after it arises.
Xu Ziling said in astonishment: What answer?
Ba Fenghan smiled bitterly and said: Did you understand that just now Wan Jing put on men's clothes and walked in next to someone who doesn't have to be Li Shimin's son?
Kou Zhong came to the two of them and whispered: It turns out that there will be two grand events here tonight, one civil and one military. Are you outstanding?
Ba Fenghan's expression returned to normal and he said with a smile: "Come and listen."
Kou Zhongdao: What we are talking about is that the world-famous talented girl Shang Xiufang will perform a dance and martial arts here, and what is written is that under the auspices of Wang Bo, two masters from outside the country will fight to the death.
Then he said mysteriously: One of them is still our old friend!
The two people were surprised: Who is it?
Kou Zhong laughed and said, "Isn't it that old man Qu Ao?"
Xu Ziling and Ba Fenghan looked at each other in shock.
Qu Le Fei Ying, Qu Aonai, is chasing a top player like Bi Xuan. If he doesn't come to trouble you, he will be a blessing to the gods. Now, someone dares to fight him in a decisive battle. It is unexpected for me.
Ba Fenghan said in a deep voice: Who is the other one?
Kou Zhongdao: The other one is from Tuyuhun, but the name has not yet been found.
Ba Fenghan was shocked and said: It must be Fu Qian, the son of King Fu Yun of Tuyuhun. When I was in northern Xinjiang, I had heard that this man was good at using spears and was extremely brave on the battlefield. Only he has the courage and qualifications to challenge Qu Ao.
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling also remembered that Liu Heitai had also mentioned this person. Also, Tuyuhun and Tiele were mortal enemies. No wonder they still refused to let each other go in the Central Plains.
Kou Zhong muttered: "It turns out to be the one who has had a beard since he was a baby. Ha!"
Song Shidao's voice came from far away: Renzhong! It turns out you are here!
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling turned around and met Song Shidao who was walking towards them.
Song Shidao obviously could not recognize his changed appearance and they stopped in shock.
Kou Zhong came forward and shouted: It's me! But I'm wearing a mask! My mother is dead.
The two of them used to have a childish jealousy towards Song Shidao because of Fu Junchuo's relationship. But now that Fu Junchuo is dead, they feel sad when they see Song Shidao's original black hair and temples with a hint of starry frost and a gloomy and incomprehensible look in his eyes.
It feels like seeing a loved one back home, an unspeakable feeling.
Song Shidao's body trembled slightly, he looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with tears, let out a long breath, then lowered his head and said solemnly:
Is it because of Yu Wenhua and the traitor?
Kou Zhong slumped his head.
Song Shidao said harshly: Okay! Okay!
Then he looked up to the sky and said hahaha, full of incomprehensible sadness and indignation, and said loudly: Let's go in!
Turning around and leading the way, stumbling with steps, it was obvious that the emotions were so excited that it was difficult to control oneself.
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling wanted to get a handsome and elegant figure like Song Shidao, and they felt pity and sadness that they had such deep affection for Fu Junchuo.
As he was about to take a step, there was a soft sound of footsteps behind him.
Looking back, Shen Luoyan, who is as beautiful as a flower, has moved her delicate body between the two of them. A pair of jade arms penetrated their arms and said with a charming smile: It's so hard to find you! Master Zhong, do you only have a mask? It's Lu Miaozi.
High quality product, right?
Ba Fenghan moved behind the three of them and became Song Shidao and Ba Fenghan, one behind Kou Zhong. Xu Ziling and Shen Luoyan were in the middle walking toward the main hall of Manqing Courtyard with their own concerns.
