Ouyang Xiyi, Taoist Master Kefeng and Kou Zhong left the study together.
But Chief Feng asked Kou Zhongdao: Brother Kou's expression didn't seem to appreciate Master Shangshu's arrangements for substitutes.
Kou Zhong smiled bitterly and said: This proves that my moral practice is shallow and I can't hide my thoughts.
But Taoist Master Feng smiled and said: Who is not like this when you are young? Brother Xiyi and I have both been here.
Ouyang Xiyi smiled and said: I was so capable when I was my brother.
But Feng Daochang said: Now it's my turn to be on duty. Brother Xiyi, it's better to keep your spirits up. A fierce battle is inevitable these days. After saying this, he stopped and saluted.
Ouyang Xiyi and Kou Zhong walked side by side towards the gate and said: Brother Shichong is so proud that he invited a master like Dong Kefeng to help out. This shows that he has a close relationship with Laojun Temple.
Kou Zhong asked smoothly: What sect does Laojun Temple belong to and why does it have such a weird name?
Ouyang Xiyi said curiously: You give people the impression that you have great supernatural powers but you don't know about the Laojun Temple at Cuiyun Peak in Beimang Mountain, Luoyang. This is really hard to believe.
Kou Zhong stopped in front of the threshold and looked at the rainy outdoors and said calmly: "So senior, it is most important for me to remind you that sometimes I am very confused."
Ouyang Xiyi said in a low voice: When I first met you, I was very happy and thought that you are a good match. But last night, I received the news that you were being besieged at Tianjin Bridge, but I urged you not to act rashly. First of all, I believe in you.
There must be a way out. Another reason is that this is obviously a trap.
Kou Zhongdao: How could you not know?
Ouyang Xiyi said: If I didn't tell you, you wouldn't know about this. And I especially want to mention this because the person who advocated the battle is Ke Feng. It can be seen that he has a lot of pity for you.
Kou Zhong frowned and said: With his intelligence, couldn't he see that this was a carefully laid conspiracy?
Ouyang Xiyi said: At that time, everyone thought it was unreasonable to deal with you, the Dugu Clan. Why did you need to send nearly a thousand guards to block the streets, but you didn’t have time to think about the whole thing clearly. Fortunately, Brother Shichong had a man named Xu Xing.
His aides privately warned me that otherwise I might have fallen into the enemy's trap.
Kou Zhong was secretly happy that Xu Xingzhi was indeed such a talented person that he realized that Ouyang Xiyi was someone he could trust so quickly.
Ouyang Xiyi patted him on the shoulder and said: Now I have to go back to my room to meditate. If you come back tonight, you can come and chat and drink with me. Do you know how to play chess?
Kou Zhongdao: Just look at what others have done.
Ouyang Xiyi laughed and said: Everything in the world is like chess. If I am a master on the chess field, you will be a master chess player outside the chess board. Anyone who wants your head can run rampant and meet him!
After saying this, he happily returned to the house.
Kou Zhong also found it funny.
Which move should I make now?
After crossing the threshold, the guards on both sides stood in awe and saluted, all showing respect.
Kou Zhong knew that he had established a reputation in Luoyang and asked one of them: "Did my sister ride in a car or ride a horse?" The man replied in a blurry voice: "My sister left on horseback."
Kou Zhong imagined the wonderful scene in his mind when Dong Shuni questioned Yang Xuyan and the couple found out that they had fallen into the trap. What kind of person was Yang Xuyan? He didn't seem to be someone who was willing to be inferior to others.
If Wang Shichong and Li Shimin negotiated a deal and Dong Shuni would become Li Yuan's concubine, then wouldn't Yang Xuyan eat Princess Dong's head first and eat the soup? How should the account be settled?
Kou Zhong suddenly became confused when he thought of this.

Xu Ziling looked at Shi Fei Xuan's moving back that made men all over the world fall in love and said in a deep voice: Was my sister not injured at all on the bridge in Tianjin that night?
Shi Feixuan finally slowly turned around to Yu Rongci, who had a delicate and graceful body, and looked at him carefully for a long time with a look of surprise. She said softly: Brother Xu, did you just guess it out of thin air, or is your vision so good that you can see through me?
Xu Ziling said calmly: That is purely an intuition.
Shi Feixuan sighed and said: Brother Xu is really a man of wisdom. However, I did suffer from internal injuries, but it was not as serious as I pretended to be. When I stepped off the Tianjin Bridge, I fully recovered.
After a pause, he revealed a sweet and innocent smile and said with deep eyes: Brother Xu, do you know why Fei Xuan resorted to such deceptive tactics?
Xu Ziling's heart trembled violently because of this rare expression on her face, then she calmed down and smiled:
Does sister want Huanwan to be fooled?
Her eyes are as beautiful as a pool of autumn water, and her charming smile is extremely moving.
Concubine Xuan was even more surprised when she saw that Xu Ziling was still so elegant and free-spirited in his expression and movements as if he was a natural beauty under her intense gaze.
Except for Hou Xibai, the men I had met before were either at a loss or flustered in this situation. They were completely unaffected by his frightening gaze like this man.
Concubine Xuan's elegant and beautiful face revealed a profound smile and said slowly: No one can lie to her. What I want to lie to is you, Xu Ziling. If this were not the case, Concubine Xuan would have no excuse to retreat.
Xu Ziling finally couldn't resist, his handsome face turned red and he said, "My sister's words are really unexpected. Does my cousin think that I have nothing to do with the theft of He's Bi?"
Concubine Xuan said slowly: On the contrary, I knew from the beginning that you stole the Heshi Bi.
Xu Ziling was puzzled and said: I don’t understand why my sister deliberately let me go?
Shi Feixuan said happily: You are finally willing to admit that you are a treasure thief!
Xu Ziling smiled bitterly and said: This is the reason why I came to see my sister. Any account can be blamed on me. But I will never sit back and wait for death, nor will I hurt anyone in the temple.
Master Fei Xuan sighed with pity: Although (The Secret of Immortality) has made you one of the first-class masters, it still lacks the strength. In addition to Fei Xuan, Master Kong here also has the ability to kill you. Brother Xu, can you tell me?
Why do I come here even though I know I'm going to die?
Xu Ziling shrugged and said: The main reason is that because you are all dedicated to the people but do not pursue any personal gain, I feel that it is a sin to deceive you.
Master Fei Xuan stepped forward and asked, "Isn't it a fault to steal treasures? Why did Brother Xu commit the crime knowingly?"
Xu Ziling laughed dumbly and said: I want to ask my sister. Will Li Shimin give up fighting for territory with him because his opponent is a kind and benevolent gentleman?
Not only did Shifei Xuan not think that she was disobedient, but she said with interest: I didn't expect Brother Xu to be an eloquent person. Let's get back to the topic. Where is He's Bi?
Xu Ziling said dejectedly: Frankly, if He's Bi was in my hands, I might not have given it back to you. It's a pity that He's Bi is finished!
The master's concubine Xuan looked at him quietly for a long time without any fluctuation in her beautiful face, and finally sighed sweetly: Unexpectedly, there are two secrets that countless sages and saints have been thinking about for thousands of years but cannot be solved, first (the secret of longevity) and then the He family.
Bidu has revealed it to you. If this isn't fate, what is it?
Xu Ziling was surprised and said: You understand with just such a sentence.
Shi Feixuan said softly: I already had the feeling when we first met at Qiaotou, but I couldn't believe it, and now I can't confirm it. What else can I say? Even if I kill you, it will not help.
Xu Ziling asked curiously: Is it my misunderstanding? It seems that I don't care about the survival of He's Bi at all. Master Feixuan said calmly: There are countless things in the world like He's Bi, which have their own destiny.
If you can't come, Brother Xu, please leave!
Xu Ziling should have been congratulated for her willingness to issue an eviction order. But at this moment, he seemed to have the desire to be beaten or taught a lesson by her. He smiled wryly and bowed before leaving.
After walking five or six steps in the powdery rain, I couldn't help but stop and said, "Can you tell me in more detail why you pretended to be injured and let us go that night?"
Master Fei Xuan's calm and beautiful voice came from behind: "It's all because of Fei Xuan that you feel pity for the talented person. Is this enough to be honest?"
Xu Ziling was speechless and left with a smile.
Shi Fei Xuan stared intently at his arrogant back until he was deep into the forest road before she looked away.

As Kou Zhong rode out of the imperial city, he felt as if there was an extra thorn in his heart, feeling depressed and hard to relieve.
What troubled him most was that Wang Shichong's fearless plan was originally a flawless plan, but it turned out to be ridiculous.
Wang Shichong himself was a top-notch master. If he was on guard and had Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling as his escorts, it would be easy for him to pretend to be injured when he was assassinated.
Although Shen Luoyan's martial arts was not that great in his current eyes, Kou Zhong was deeply concerned about her cunning and wisdom.
If it weren't for some mistake and chance, the two brothers would have fallen into her hands long ago.
Therefore, soldiers must be used like arms and fingers. Otherwise, even if Sun Wu is resurrected and Wuhou is reincarnated, it will not be possible.
Thinking of this, I have already turned to Tianjie.
The Dong's Restaurant stands on the bridge and contrasts with the other three tall buildings.
There is an endless stream of people and cars on Tianjie, and boats are passing by on the river. The drizzle only adds to the atmosphere that is difficult to get entangled in.
It's half an hour before noon.
Will Ling be able to come back in time to accompany him to the meeting?
Thinking of this, I had already crossed Tianjin Bridge and headed towards the South Gate.
Kou Zhong drove past three mule carts in one go and passed between two horse carriages with great pleasure.
Riding horses like this in the busy city, when I was in Yangzhou in the past, I could only envy others, but I thought that I would also have the opportunity to enjoy this kind of scenery.
At this time, there were several beautiful beauties walking together on the sidewalk on the left, holding various colorful umbrellas, and they were paying attention to him and casting their eyes on him.
Kou Zhong quickly showed his neat white teeth and smiled brightly in return, making them even more showy and charming.
Kou Zhong was greatly interested in this, and he galloped past the two knights as if in a demonstration. Suddenly, a warning sign occurred in his heart.
A barely perceptible black shadow shot from the sidewalk on the right, slanting through the gap between two running carriages and the mule workshop, and shot towards him with astonishing accuracy and speed. When Kou Zhong noticed that it was a long When the shining head came, it had penetrated into the horse's right nostril.
The most clever thing about the assassins is to use two cars as a cover. When the attacker notices, they are too late to respond.
If Tou's target was Kou Zhong himself, he would have been able to avoid Ma'er's assassination in time.
The horse neighed in pain and stood up, then leaned to the right and fell.
Before he fell into disgrace along with the horse, Kou Zhong jumped up, crossed the carriage, and rushed toward the place where the hidden weapon came from, furious in his heart.
The traffic on the street immediately became chaotic, with everyone running around and looking sideways.
The horse struggled and got up again. This was obviously a joke and did not really hurt the horse.
But when Kou Zhong was in high spirits, he felt even more shameless.
Pointing my toes on another carriage that was running towards the opposite side of the carriageway slightly closer to the sidewalk, I took advantage of the force and lifted up again, just in time to catch the back of a graceful woman flashing into a side street. This woman was wearing a red outfit and her goal was obvious. .
Kou Zhong took a strong breath of energy and flew over the pedestrians' heads onto the tiles of a grocery store to chase the enemy.
This was the first time in the past few days that he had lost his authority in public, and he couldn't swallow the bad breath. The moving red shadow on the tile surface in the distance flashed, but it didn't look like it was tempting him to pursue it.
Kou Zhong, who is now a master of arts, is bold and knows that it may be a trap but still pursues him without fear.
With a breath, he passed by more than a dozen houses and ran down a side alley when the woman suddenly appeared in front of him.
Kou Zhong stopped in shock and said in astonishment: It turns out to be you!
It was the Hong Fu girl who snatched Li Jing from Su Su's hand.
I don’t know if the red whisk girl loves the color red. Not only does the whisk in her hand be as red as fire, but the red dress competes with each other. There is also a red and white hairpin stuck in her shiny hair. Matching her icy muscles and jade bones, not only is there no trace of
Tacky yet surprisingly cool and delicate.
Kou Zhong didn't know how to subside the anger in his heart. He was mostly thinking about who could look better in red clothes than her, when Hongfunu sneered and said, "I used tricks to bring you here this time just to have a personal grudge with the King of Qin."
It has nothing to do, so you don't have to worry about others interfering.
Kou Zhong took a step forward and frowned: What grudges do you and I have?
A pair of moving beautiful eyes of the Hongfu girl showed a sharp expression but her tone was surprisingly calm and she said slowly: If you two hadn't confused right and wrong and couldn't tell right from wrong, why would my husband have to lament and suffer for you all day long? In the face of righteousness, if you can get lost now
It's not too late to return. Otherwise, don't blame my men for being ruthless.
Kou Zhong felt a headache.
Just looking at the way she showed off her hidden weapon just now, you can tell that she is well-deserved. Regardless of her internal strength, technique, and eyesight, she has reached the level of a super master.
Kou Zhong asked himself that he couldn't do it, but she succeeded with one blow.
He wasn't really afraid of her because he had never worked on concealed weapons.
The biggest problem is that no matter how much he hates Li Jing, he can't be cruel enough to kill his beautiful wife. Except for Huan Huan, he is easy to be soft-hearted towards women.
In this case, the opponent is attacking with all his strength but he is wary, which is naturally a big disadvantage.
Hongfu Nu thought he was seriously considering her advice and waited patiently, but then she realized that this was what he was thinking.
After a long while, Kou Zhong sighed: How did Madam meet Li Jing?
Hong Fu Nu said displeasedly: You answer what I just said first.
Kou Zhong said dejectedly: I don't want to fight with you.
The red-flecked girl's beautiful face turned cold and said in a deep voice: Then you are determined to have your own way.
Kou Zhong said: This is not stubbornness, but everyone has his own ambitions. Who doesn't think what he is doing is the right thing?
Hongfu Nu's eyes flashed with murderous intent and she said slowly word for word: If it weren't for the fact that you were once husband's brothers, I would have killed you. Even in such a big matter, you still have to make excuses. It's just that you stole the He family.
The case of Bi is already a capital crime.
Kou Zhongyi met her sharp sword-like eyes and said solemnly: "Do you know that you came to see me this time, Li Jing?"
There was a look of pain in the red whisk girl's eyes. She raised her whisk and scolded: "Watch the move!"
Kou Zhong laughed and backed away.
After only retreating half a foot, he realized that he had made a very serious mistake because he had no intention of fighting.
The number one expert in Tiance Mansion is indeed extraordinary.

With the city gate in sight, Xu Ziling worked hard to avoid missing the appointment due to being late.
He had always respected the chivalrous and heroic Song Lu, not to mention that he was Song Shidao's clan uncle.
He had never thought that Song Shidao was such a loving and loyal person. Due to his background, he had never had a good impression of the children of wealthy families, but Song Lu and Song Shidao changed his mind.
Song Yuzhi is also a good woman, but it's a pity...
Just as he was thinking about it, more than a dozen riders came towards him and lined up to block the way.
Xu Ziling quickly reined in his horse. It turned out to be Senior Brother and Sister Tuoba Yu and a group of Turkic masters. Everyone looked solemn and filled with murderous intent.
Xu Ziling was complaining in his heart. At this time, it was too late to avoid him, so he had to ride his horse to meet him.
