The three of them followed the sound and saw Fu Qian marching out of the crowd to the center of the royal road, looking at the three of them with a smile, showing an aura that was not angry but intimidating.
All eyes of the hundreds of people crowding the sidewalk were focused on him.
No one knew that he was the real master of the fight with Qu Ao tonight, but now his head was cut off by Ba Fenghan's body. It was hard for anyone to swallow, so they all guessed that the good show was yet to come.
Kou Zhong took a quick look and saw Tu Lizai watching the battle in the crowd and laughed and said: Brother Fu, don't get angry about this. It's because Qu Laoer joined forces with others to attack us on the Tianjin Bridge earlier, so we came here.
I always gave him a big gift.
Tuli Khan can testify to this because he also participated in the battle.
After a pause, he continued: Besides, we have asked your subordinate, Brother Xing, to say hello to Brother Fu, but we are short of time and cannot wait for Brother Fu's reply!
These two words can give Fuqian enough face to give him a step down.
Kou Zhong was indeed a eloquent man and he took advantage of the opportunity to make a secret move.
Tuli's eyes flashed with cold light and he was not laughing at all. He took two steps forward and patted his shoulder with an eagle gun in a heroic manner. He sneered, "Brother Kou, bringing up the old things again brought back my memories. It's a pity that I didn't have time to fight with Brother Kou at that time. Brother Kou, then."
Sneak away in a hurry. Now that the moon is shining in the sky, why not miss this auspicious moment? Why don't you let me learn Brother Kou's unpredictable sword skills!
Tu Li suddenly took the matter into his own hands and challenged Lu Zhuanfeng to return to the peak, which caused a commotion.
Most of the bystanders didn't know who he was, and they all asked others about him, creating a heated atmosphere.
Fu Qian shouted: "Wait a minute!"
He didn't shout loudly, but he stood out among the noise of hundreds of people, which made everyone's ears buzz and the whole place immediately fell into silence.
Tu Li looked at Fu Qian displeased and frowned: "What advice does the prince have?"
Fu Qian burst out laughing, his eyes flashed with divine light, he ignored Tu Li and clasped his fists and said to Kou Zhong and the other two, they had misunderstood.
Just now, Mr. Fu just wanted to invite the three of them back to Manqingyuan to drink and celebrate the victory. He had no other intention.
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked at each other in shock. They didn't expect him to be so friendly, but felt confused.
When Ba Feng is cold, he stands as still as a mountain and regulates his breathing secretly.
He had just won a critical victory and suffered serious internal injuries, so he had to fight for every moment to heal.
Xu Ziling whispered to Kou Zhong: Li Shimin and his people are nowhere to be seen.
Kou Zhong was greatly surprised. Li Shimin shouldn't have missed this battle unless he quietly withdrew at the same time when Qu Ao withdrew with hatred. Since their attention was focused on Ba Fenghan and Qu Ao at that time, they did not pay attention to whether
Others left.
Li Shimin must have a reason for doing this. Before the break, Kou Zhong would never have been worried about this, but now he had to take care of everything step by step, and Li Jing's warning was still in his ears and not in his heart.
Tu Li over there saw Xu Ziling say a few words in Kou Zhong's ear, and Kou Zhong showed a thoughtful expression, while his eyes glanced back and forth in the crowd. It was obvious that what he said had nothing to do with him; he couldn't help but get angry because of such contempt.
stern.
On the other hand, anyone who is challenged by his name must be on full alert even if they are not scared half to death. Since the two of them can still be distracted by other things, it is obvious that their courage and ability are beyond the reach of ordinary experts.
But at this time, he was ready to ride a tiger through the trees that separated the royal road and the pedestrian road, came to the royal road, and shouted to the three of them: Brother Fu's original intention has nothing to do with me. Kou Zhong, if you are willing to kowtow and admit defeat, I will let you accompany me.
So what if Brother Fu drinks and chats!
As if he had just noticed what Tuli was talking about, Kou Zhong laughed with joy and said: So Khan, you love to laugh so much. You are willing to come to my door just what I want. Even if you kneel down immediately to admit your mistake and beg for mercy, I will not do it.
I won't spare you.
Then he strode forward towards Tuli.
Before he could take action, a fierce murderous aura surged towards him. Such a fierce and skilled character like Tu Li had to immediately draw out his falcon gun and prepare for it.
Hundreds of people crowded on the sidewalk, waiting for the noise to stop.
The most impressive thing about Kou Zhong is that his bravery seems to be natural and he has inadvertently created this arrogant momentum.
The sudden benefit of active challenge turned into passiveness.
Kou Zhong really wanted to challenge Tu Li.
Under normal circumstances, it would not be easy to kill him because Tuli had a large number of Turkic masters accompanying him.
But now it's a fair fight based on the rules of the rivers and lakes. If Tu Li wants to save his life, it depends on how much weight he has.
It would be of great benefit to the future security of his old friend if he could cut him off before Ba Fenghan left. Under the gaze of hundreds of pairs of eyes, Kou Zhong pulled out the sword from the well three feet away from Tuli.
With a flick of Yue Jian's wrist, the yellow light suddenly surged towards the enemy.
The fierce sword energy filled the royal road.
Although Tu Li had witnessed Kou Zhong kill and injure one of his own men and had some idea of his strength, he could not have guessed that he had launched an offensive from a distance of three feet away.
There is a lot of knowledge in this. Masters often judge the strength of the opponent from these key points to determine the best way to deal with it.
Tu Liben estimated that if Kou Zhong wanted to maintain the initiative and be strong in one go, he should draw his sword and attack from a distance of two feet, so that his momentum would not weaken midway and at the same time, he could use the strongest attack power. These judgments were made based on the opponent's speed, pace, and momentum.
Evaluation. A master with a level like Tuli can accurately grasp the first few steps the enemy takes to launch an attack as soon as the opponent starts.
But this time he obviously guessed wrong.
The sudden profit call is not good, and at the same time, you move forward to regain the initiative lost due to miscalculation.
Kou Zhong's long sword slashed through the void to sweep away thousands of armies with astonishing domineering force. There was no trick and no tricks to strike towards Tuli, which was filled with a sense of randomness and naturalness.
His pair of big eyes follow his opponent like a hawk, not missing any of his opponent's subtle movements. He even knows the movements of the opponent's muscles covered by his clothes.
What he was looking for was what Lu Miaozi had escaped. This was the key to defeating his enemy.
Ever since he took the superpowers in the Heshi Bi as his own, he knew that his skills had improved by leaps and bounds, but he still didn't know how far he had improved.
Now the fact is before our eyes that Qu Ao has been defeated by Ba Fenghan.
This incident greatly inspired Kou Zhong.
Just when he was eager to find someone to test the sword, Tu Li came to him with his own initiative. In such a state of mind and under such circumstances, Kou Zhong climbed to the highest heights regardless of his confidence and aura.
In an instant, the two men were close enough to engage each other in hand-to-hand combat, and they suddenly met the incoming attacks with swords and spears.
His timing was exquisite and accurate. If Kou Zhong did not change his moves, he would be wiped out. Unless there was a great disparity in skill between the two sides, Jing Zhongyue would be knocked away and Kou Zhong would be exposed.
Unexpectedly, Kou Zhong's sword did not change its power, but the short steel spear with a vulture cast on the handle was only four feet long. He was still missing the sword by an inch. When the moon in the well suddenly changed, he not only stopped slashing downwards, but also raised it slightly to avoid it.
Passed the sweep of Fuyingqiang.
Kou Zhong also changed his forward thrust to sideways movement.
This is simply impossible. It means that the transformation of the true energy in Kou Zhong's body must be consistent with the change of the sword technique and steps.
The sudden and sharp Eagle-Flying Spear technique, based on the self-created natural method that focuses on the virtual reality of yin and yang, showed its true strength in this harsh situation.
Although he was frightened, he did not panic. The tip of his hawk's spear swept about three inches under the knife, and he suddenly pulled away before Kou Zhong struck back with the knife from different angles.
This retreat is a test of kung fu, and the gun tip chi chi chi chi chi chi imagining countless gun shadows that are difficult to distinguish between real and real, making the enemy pursue them elusively.
Although there were many onlookers who were experts, they were all amazed and amazed. Kou Zhongke was even more amazed that Kou Zhongke could force his opponent back with just one change.
Kou Zhong raised his eyebrows, laughed loudly, and stepped forward with great momentum, swinging the knife so fast that no one could see clearly. Dang!
Deafening.
The moment Jing Zhongyue slashed into the shadow of the gun like a divine object that could break any illusion, the sharp falcon spear turned back into a real object and forced him to stab him hard.
Xu Ziling and Ba Fenghan, who were watching the battle behind Kou Zhong, felt relieved at this moment. They knew that after these days of fierce battles, Kou Zhong had finally reached the state of mastery in sword skills. Otherwise, how would he be able to perform such sword skills.
Those onlookers who regarded Kou Zhong as his enemy were secretly frightened and had a new assessment of him.
Song Yuzhi, who stood quietly among the masters of the Song family headed by Song Lu, couldn't help but be dazzled when he saw that Kou Zhong's swordsmanship was aided by a god.
Although Tu Li was struck by Kou Zhong's spiral energy and his arm was sore and numb, his strong nature inspired him to fight to the death and he laughed and said: "What a knife!"
The spear suddenly launched a wild counterattack, and the Eagle-Flying Spear surged towards Kou Zhong like a huge wave of an angry sea.
Kou Zhong'er snorted when he heard the sound of the gun. His skin felt the whirlpools of pain caused by the falcon gun. His eyes saw the shadow of the gun and screamed with joy. He was about to engage in a close fight to quickly finish off his opponent when the gun shot in front of him.
The shadow disappeared, but the tip of Fuying's spear was shot towards his throat with only a cold light.
This was the first time he had seen such an exquisite shooting technique that transformed from virtual reality to reality.
Ding!
Kou Zhong didn't even think about it, and he didn't even have time to think about hitting the tip of the gun with his knife.
The energy as sharp as an arrow comes with the gun.
Kou Zhong retreated quickly.
Tu Li seemed to have no chance of continuing, raised his gun and retreated.
One side was holding a cold sword while the other side was pointing a gun at a distance, creating a confrontation.
Ba Fenghan whispered in Xu Ziling's ear: Tu Li was timid. Because of his usual style, he would never give in like this unless he had other purposes.
The whole street was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop and even the sound of breathing was temporarily stopped.
Although the two of them were separated for the time being, the tense atmosphere of confrontation and the tense atmosphere between their eyes were enough to make people feel chilled and frightened.
Tu Li left the gun with his left hand and held it behind his back, smiling and saying: "I understand. The one who can be called a true master in the Central Plains must have your name, Kou Zhong, on the list."
Although he was praising his opponent, it naturally improved his own status. And because he could even the tie with his excellent marksmanship, no one would think that he was timid.
Only Ba Fenghan, who was familiar with him, could see through his background.
Of course Kou Zhong also knew that he wanted to stop and step down, but he was not without scruples. Whether he could really kill Tu Li was still unknown. Even if he could do it, he would still be injured. But now Ba Fenghan is doing the same.
Li Mi, Shengyu Wenhua, and Wenjie were in a miserable situation. Therefore, maintaining one's own strength is the most important thing.
What he was afraid of was Li Shimin who had disappeared.
Clang!
Kou Zhong returned the sword to its sheath and cupped his fist, saying: "Khan is really a hero. Kou Zhong admires him. Let's drink or spar with him when he has free time in the future."
These words not only gave Tuli face, but also showed Kou Zhong's extraordinary magnanimity and demeanor. Tuli couldn't help but feel good about him.
He did not want to be an enemy of Kou Zhong, but because of Ba Fenghan's relationship, he stood up as an enemy. Zhu Yi returned the gun to his back and saluted: "I will definitely meet Brother Kou if we have the chance!"
He turned to his subordinates and said: Let's go!
Fu Qian looked at the retreating figures of Tu Li and others and said loudly: That's it for tonight. Thank you to all my friends for coming to the meeting.
After he stepped into the royal road and came to Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling and Ba Fenghan stood beside him and said apologetically: I was just careless and didn't see that Brother Ba needs a good rest. I'm leaving!
Without waiting for the three people to answer, he smiled and went on his own.
The three of them couldn't help but feel chilled by his unpredictability.
※※※
The three of them walked slowly along a side street, waiting for dawn to come.
Kou Zhong asked Ba Fenghan concernedly: "How do you feel?"
Ba Fenghan smiled and said: Much better! But this kind of injury can not be healed in a short time.
Then he headed elsewhere and said: Your Aunt Yu has left the city safely. The princess will send them out to sea and arrange a sea boat for them to return north to Goryeo. This will not only reduce the pain of the journey but also greatly shorten the time.
Kou Zhong was so happy that he whistled and then frowned and said: Do you want to wait until you recover from your injuries before leaving?
Ba Fenghan shook his head resolutely and said: If you don't leave now, you will wait until later. If I stay, I will become a burden to you. It is most convenient for me to sneak away alone.
Both Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling felt speechless. Even with the sudden advantage, it was not easy for Tuoba Yu and others to catch up with Ba Fenghan who was deliberately escaping.
Xu Ziling lowered his voice and said: "Tomorrow morning when the city gate opens, we will accompany you out of the city and give you two of the masks. The package will ensure that you can return to the village safely."
Kou Zhong and Ba Fenghan both praised it. The former was even more relieved and said: "Then I'm really relieved! Alas! But I'm very reluctant to let you go."
Ba Fenghan smiled casually and said: Life is like this, separation and death are joys and sorrows. What's more, we may still have a day to meet again, and then it will be particularly interesting.
Kou Zhong said dejectedly: "You are free and easy. Now that you have left, it will be Ling's turn to lose his friends. It's really boring to be a human being like this."
Ba Fenghan and Xu Ziling laughed wildly at him knowing that he had a bad personality.
Kou Zhong himself also laughed and said proudly: I haven't officially informed you that Li Zi and I have really fallen out!
Xu Ziling sighed: I can guess the inevitable result without you.
Kou Zhong's eyes flashed and he said: "Also, Li Jing personally admitted that he betrayed us."
Xu Ziling's handsome face fell silent.
The footsteps of the three people echoed softly in the empty long street under the moonlit night.
Ba Fenghan frowned and said: Although I have only seen him twice, I feel that he does not look like this kind of person.
Kou Zhong said harshly: Appearances are often unreliable. Like Lao Ba, you have a cold appearance, but you didn't know you could be such a passionate person.
Ba Fenghan said calmly: Starting from tomorrow, I will put aside all the emotions in the world that can affect my mind and focus on swordsmanship and return to my true self.
Kou Zhong suppressed his laughter and said: "When Xinbadel caught up with you, you were beaten back to your original shape by the ruthless man. You laughed out loud at both of us."
Ba Fenghan smiled calmly and didn't answer him but said: You have to be careful. Li Shimin, apart from his own excellent martial arts, Yang Xuyan, Hongfu Nu, Li Jing, Li Shentong, Changsun Wuji, Yuchi Jingde, etc. are all masters who can stand alone.
Not inferior to the Yingui Sect.
The three of them turned left to the street leading to the south city gate. Kou Zhong said: I am not afraid of them. But I am afraid of how Shi Fei Xuan will deal with us one on one after she recovers. None of us is her opponent. The most terrible thing is that even if she is alone
We are reluctant to join forces to deal with a beautiful woman like her who descends from the earth like a Bodhisattva.
Xu Ziling said calmly: She will only settle accounts with me and let me handle it.
Kou Zhong deliberately grabbed the front of Xu Ziling and backed away from him, saying: Ha! Ling finally found the person he fell in love with! Otherwise, how could he have taken care of everything without letting others interfere.
Xu Ziling frowned and said: Why do you always like to think about the personal relationship between your children? In fact, you and Brother Fenghan are very similar in this matter, but the goals they pursue are different!
His words came to him after talking with Song Yuzhi, but Kou Zhong was unable to resist immediately.
Fortunately, it had arrived at the north bank of the Yishui River. The bright moon hanging obliquely in the western sky projected the houses on the bank onto the slow-flowing river, forming another coexisting shadow world that was as beautiful as an unreal dreamland.
An arch bridge spans the Yishui Bridge. There are more than ten boats moored under the bridge. The water gently hits the boats and the bridge embankment, making a clear rustling sound.
Kou Zhong suggested: "Why don't we sit on the bridge until dawn and see Lao Ba off for a ride? It would be a waste of time for our friendship."
Ba Fenghan looked up at the sky and let out a long breath: Then we should still have more than half an hour!
