The beauty of Hongfu Nudu's tall figure was beyond Kou Zhong's expectation.
The most troublesome thing is that the red brush in her hand and the graceful movement are perfectly coordinated, making it impossible for Kou Zhong to dodge and retreat, which only allows the opponent to launch a fierce offensive that is as fast as the Yangtze River.
For a moment, a powerful whirlwind of shadows swept Kou Zhong into a powerful offensive like a turbulent wave.
Kou Zhong, who had no intention of fighting, could not even use Jing Zhongyue to attack the fierce attack coming from the red-dressed beauty with his hands.
What's worse is that her red whisk can be turned hard or soft at will. The three-foot-long whisk is controlled by her so that it looks like it has eyes. It is like a snake that specializes in finding the enemy's openings. Even the handle of the dust whisk can pierce holes. Pricking the pulse is very powerful, using all possible means.
From the very beginning, it was a close-quarters fight with fast attacks that left the opponent with no time to even take a breath.
Kou Zhong was completely trapped in the bad situation of being beaten and could only try to make mistakes and wait for the opportunity to counterattack.
Huo!
The whisk swept across Kou Zhong's left arm, and his sleeve was shattered, revealing more than a dozen blood stains. This was because Kou Zhong knew how to avoid the critical point by turning sideways before his opponent stabbed his chest with the ruthless blow. .
In order to fend off the opponent, he used sharp footwork like a surprise attack from time to time, but was finally taken advantage of by the red whisk girl's mercury-dropping sweep.
More than ten strands of hot energy invaded the body.
Kou Zhong knew that if he allowed this situation to continue to develop, he would end up lying in corpse alley.
With a quick breath of Qi, he not only neutralized the opponent's invading Qi, but also gathered all his strength to strike out with a palm. At this critical moment of life and death, Kou Zhong exerted all his power from (Eternal Life Secret) and He's Bi.
Although Hong Fu Nu had the upper hand, Kou Zhong's seemingly ordinary move made her feel helpless.
Kou Zhong's palm was actually composed of a series of movements and went through countless changes to confuse the enemy before reaching the final position. She was completely unable to master this sudden palm gesture.
And all the movements are as if they are naturally integrated into an indivisible whole, and the coordination of the whole body makes people feel that he has invested all his strength and concentration into this palm.
The most terrible thing is that she originally wanted to hit him in the face with a swipe from Cheng Sheng, but because of Koo Zhong's palm in the gap, her attack route was completely blocked.
She had no choice but to change her moves to meet the enemy, and then stabbed her under her wrist to meet the enemy with the illusion of reality.
The virtual gesture is to sweep the whisk towards the abdominal air points; in reality, the whisk is raised to sweep the pulse of the opponent's right wrist. Kou Zhong laughed and his palm posture remained unchanged, but he quickly moved the front tip of his palm diagonally to stab the lines of this beautiful woman. The graceful pink neck is full of energy.
Although Hongfunu was not convinced by Kou Zhong's unexpected move to counterattack, she knew that the opponent had seen through her. With a scolding, she retracted the dusty whisk and kicked out five lightning kicks.
It was only at this moment that Kou Zhong found a chance to counterattack. He let out a long laugh and flipped Hongfu girl upside down on her head. He couldn't hold down the girl with his palms and avoided even a trace of her. Her footwork made him ashamed to avoid strong attacks and weak attacks.
The madness brought out by the spiral energy enveloped Hong Fu Girl like a tornado.
Red Fu Nu snorted coldly and raised the dust whisk while slapping Kou Zhongzheng on the palms of his hands.
Peng!
A clash of energies.
When the red-flecked girl's delicate body was shaken violently, Kou Zhong had already jumped into the air amidst the laughter of the people and shouted: "Sister-in-law is really powerful. My brother feels ashamed and has no choice but to run away for his life."
Gone across the sky and disappeared.
Hong Fu Nu was so angry that she stamped her feet and knew that she could not catch up.
But when I called him "sister-in-law", I remembered that he had never drawn the sword, and the dislike towards him in my heart could not help but diminish a bit.
Only then did we understand why her husband Li Jing valued the brotherhood with the two of them so much.

Tuoba Yu patted his horse and rushed forward to Xu Ziling. He smiled bitterly and said: Brother Xu and Brother Kou are really the most important people after arriving in the Central Plains. They are bold and affectionate. They only intended to make friends. Who knew that in the end they ended up in such trouble? It's a pity.
Xu Ziling secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He originally thought that the other party would take action, but his tone showed that he had no such intention.
The head said: It is always difficult to get everything one wants in life. But even though we have different positions, I, Xu Ziling, still treat Brother Tuoba as a friend and I will never go back on what I promised.
Of course Tuobayu knew that he was referring to borrowing (the Secret of Immortality) and said happily: I never thought that Brother Xu would regret the contract because you are not that kind of person at all.
Then he lowered his voice and said: "You may not believe it when I come out. Tuli Khan actually admires you very much, but it is difficult to talk about friendship because Ba Fenghan is among them. Now that Ba Fenghan has gone, you should be able to sit down."
Let’s talk.
Xu Ziling was shocked at first and then thought that the Turks wanted the Central Plains to be more chaotic. Kou Zhong was obviously a master at causing chaos and destroying the balance of power. He immediately understood that Tujue's show of goodwill had other motives.
He changed the subject and said: Brother Tuoba’s information is really good. We just sent Brother Fenghan away and you guys caught up with us.
Tuobayu snorted coldly: If you don't even have this ability, how can you go back and explain it to your master?
Then he sighed: It's hard to believe that every time I see this guy, his skills have improved a level. Now even Qu Ao is defeated by him. I just want to ask if he also suffered serious injuries in the battle with Qu Ao.
Where are the internal injuries? Alas! I really shouldn't have asked this question.
Xu Ziling took a liking to this eccentric young Turkic master and smiled bitterly: "How can I answer you?"
Tuoyuyu was greatly refreshed and said: You have told me the answer. Frankly speaking, if he was not injured, even if we catch up with him, it would be difficult for us to catch him, so now it seems that we can do our best.
Before Xu Ziling had a chance to reply, Chun Yuwei over there waved her riding whip impatiently and shouted: Senior brother! Is it my turn to talk?
※※※
Kou Zhong jumped from the house down the alley and turned to Tianjie. Although the bleeding in the dust brush on his left arm had stopped, his whole left arm was still numb and painful, and the wound was burning.
I still have lingering fears about the enchanting dust whisk of the red whisk girl.
What saved his life was learning from Fu Junyu's Yi sword skills.
Under the red whisk girl's dazzling technique, it was very difficult for him to even block, let alone predict the follow-up and route of her attack.
But when he was hit, there was a gap in her brushing technique that allowed him to regain his composure and regain some initiative.
It was a fleeting opportunity, but he accurately grasped it and used all his strength to strike with his palm. This not only reversed the situation, but also enabled him to perform the Yi Sword Technique due to the active movement of his palm.
It is indeed equivalent to making a clever move in chess that makes the opponent unable to respond, and thus grasping the opponent's response piece.
His understanding of Yi swordsmanship has deepened.
At this time, he followed the flow of people across Tianjin Bridge and arrived in front of the courtyard gate of Dongjia Restaurant. Just as he was about to enter, someone shouted from behind:
Brother Kou, please stay!
※※※
Chun Yuwei's pretty face turned red and she said: "I have liked you since last night."
Xu Ziling, who was listening attentively on horseback, was startled and said: What?
Fortunately, Tuobayu had already returned to the Turkic knight formation five feet away, otherwise it would have been embarrassing for him to hear.
This woman was serious about talking to her, so this was what she expected.
Chun Yuwei was obviously dissatisfied with his reaction and said with a long mouth: What's so strange about the fact that people are most happy with a man who is an elf and doesn't have to be fooled around like a stupid bird? Just because you don't put on a show like Kou Zhong.
You're cunning and cunning, so people didn't pay attention to you.
Then he smiled and revealed his lovely snow-white and neat teeth, with a look of ecstasy in his eyes and said softly: "Knowing that your cunning is hidden in your belly, we can only watch you slip away calmly."
Xu Ziling was both dumbfounded and in pain, and said with a painful smile: I am just trying to survive and find a way to escape!
How can you describe me as cunning? Don't you like Kou Zhong?
Chunyu Wei glanced at him and said: I'm happy for both of them! They are leaving, why don't you say a few words of affection to them? Will you go to Turks to find them?
Xu Ziling replied in embarrassment: It seems to me that you have found the wrong person. If I were really cunning, I would know how to coax you now.
It's a pity that I can't resist. Do you have anything you want me to tell Kou Zhong? A girl who chases people as quickly as she puts out fires shouldn't delay the opportunity for a stupid bird like me.
Chun Yuwei, instead of being coquettish and angry, said with joy and joy: These are really good words. Any capable man will not take women seriously. They will come back to you later. Alas! In fact, Ba Zi also
Yes, it would have been better if he had not killed his senior brother!
Xu Ziling is very fond of this innocent and passionate girl. The most lovely thing is that she is frank and frank and enthusiastically pursues the beautiful side of life.
Chun Yuwei smiled sweetly and lowered her voice and said: Tell Kou Zhong to be careful. He is a cunning and cunning conspirator. The master has never liked him. Yu Wei is leaving! Hee! There are very few good-looking men.
Who can be as heroic as you and Kou Zhong.
Xu Ziling was worried that he would be late. Hearing this, he expressed his gratitude as if he had received a pardon from the emperor and went to pat him.
※※※
Kou Zhong looked back and saw that Tuli and a group of Turkic masters were dismounting from their horses.
Tu Li asked his men to lead the horses and came to Kou Zhong like an old friend. He smiled and said: "Brother Kou, if we are alone, why don't we have a casual meal together? I made an appointment with Brother Shimin to meet here."
Kou Zhong walked side by side with him towards the steps of the restaurant, pretending to be happy and said: I appreciate Khan's kindness. First of all, I do have an appointment; because I had a falling out with brother Shimin last night, we might not meet at the same table now.
It affects his appetite!
There will always be a chance in the future.
I secretly wondered why Tuli and he were so friendly even though they were enemies but not friends. With Tuli being so arrogant and self-respecting, the Turkic royal family must be willing to humiliate him in such a low voice.
Tu Li stopped and asked in a low voice: Is Ba Fenghan gone?
Kou Zhong followed him and said in surprise: Khan has only been in Luoyang for a few days, but his eyes and ears are so good.
A group of Turkic masters stood around and formed a formation to block others from reaching the two of them. Tired guests who wanted to enter the restaurant had to take a few extra steps, which seemed quite overbearing.
Tu Li smiled and said: To be honest, how could a city as important as Luoyang not have our eyes and ears? What's more, the three Kou brothers pretended to praise and openly rode out of seclusion. If we are still confused, why should we go to the Central Plains to fool around?
Kou Zhong smiled and said: Since Khan can see through our deliberate publicity, he must know that Brother Ba has another trick to avoid being followed!
The murderous intention in his sharp eyes suddenly disappeared and he said calmly: Ba Fenghan can avoid anyone, but he can never avoid Badel.
Firstly, because she is familiar with all of Ba Fenghan's tricks, and secondly, because her mentor Zhao Deyan, the master, once taught her unparalleled tracking skills, so Ba Fenghan's wishful thinking will definitely not work.
Kou Zhong laughed and said: So what if we can catch up?
Tuli smiled and said: If we continue like this, we will definitely confront each other again. To be honest, I admire Brother Kou's behavior very much and hope that everyone can turn enemies into friends. As for whether there is a possibility of cooperation with each other, it will be beneficial to both parties.
Harmful.
Kou Zhong responded calmly: I am flattered that Khan thinks so highly of his brother. In the future, if you have the opportunity, you can have a detailed chat over wine and think about any big plans that can benefit both parties.
Tu Li said happily: "Brother Kou is a man who knows the current affairs and situation and will have great potential in the future. When the time comes, I will pay you a dedicated visit."
Kou Zhong took the opportunity to say goodbye and went upstairs. But he was still thinking and speculating in his mind that the time was ripe for a sudden profit.
※※※
Xu Ziling followed a group of about seven or eight big men on horseback and entered the spacious outer courtyard of Dong's Restaurant. Only then did he see clearly that one of them was Li Shimin, but he didn't see Li Jing or Hongfu Nu. At this time, he had no choice but to hope that Li Shimin wouldn't see him.
.
Unexpectedly, everyone in Li Shimin's group seemed to be alert at the same time and looked at him.
Xu Ziling gritted his teeth and said: It is such a coincidence that brother Shimin is also here.
Li Shimin came up with a slightly surprised smile and said, "I was about to talk to Brother Ziling in detail, but I didn't expect to meet him here."
All of his men had smiles on their faces and no hint of tension. But Xu Ziling felt that their eyes were looking for any flaws or weaknesses in him.
Li Shimin said happily, "Let me introduce Brother Ziling to you. This is Brother Yuchi Jingde. He is not only proficient in the art of war, but also good at using spears and steel whips, which is famous in Jianghuai."
Yuchi Jingde, who was about twenty-five or six years old, took a step forward and held his hands in greeting.
At first glance, this man's physique is neither tall nor burly, so he is not very eye-catching. However, it gives Xu Ziling an unforgettable feeling when he first sees him. The reason is that his mountain-like demeanor carries a murderous and compelling feeling.
The momentum shows extraordinary skill and temperament. And he is full of confidence, making him a fierce general who can regard the enemy as nothing in the midst of thousands of troops.
His face has a simple and serious look, but his eyes are twinkling, letting people know that he is by no means someone who can be easily deceived.
When Xu Ziling looked at him, he returned the gaze with a smile and said: I believe I will be able to ask Brother Xu for some extraordinary skills from the (Secret of Immortality) soon!
Of course Xu Ziling understood the meaning behind his words and smiled without saying a word.
Another person took a step forward and introduced himself: Pang Yu has met Brother Xu.
Xu Ziling's eyes suddenly lit up.
This person is tall and beautiful, and what's more rare is that he has a well-proportioned body shape without any faults. His clear demeanor gives people the impression that he is elegant in manners, good at speaking, but does not make too much nonsense.
These two people are the backbone of Li Shimin's Tiance Mansion, and they are the fierce rivals of him and Kou Zhong.
Standing behind Pang Yu is Bai Zhe, a scholar in Confucian clothes who appears to be elegant on the surface. He always has a smile that seems to be confident on his delicate face, and speaks slowly and leisurely, with an air of leisure.
When Li Shimin introduced this person as Changsun Wuji, Xu Ziling remembered that this person and Yuchi Jingde were both people specially mentioned by Kou Zhong, and couldn't help but feel secretly in his heart.
Yuchi Jingde's unruffled domineering attitude, Pang Yu's handsomeness and Changsun Wuji's unfathomable depth all made him wary.
Then the remaining three are Luo Shixin, Shi Wanbao and Liu Dewei, all masters who have achieved the inner essence. But these six subordinates can already have a glimpse of Li Shimin's amazing strength.
After the introduction, Li Shimin affectionately took Xu Ziling's arm and walked aside and whispered: Last night, I had a detailed talk with Mr. Li Jing...
When he heard Li Jing's name, Xu Ziling immediately restrained himself and interrupted him, saying: Everyone has his own ambitions and cannot be stronger than each other. Brother Shimin, don't look at Kou Zhong's usual cynical demeanor. In fact, he is very independent and determined. He will never be shaken by others.
of.
Li Shimin let go of his hand and smiled casually: "This will save me a lot of words. If you offend Brother Zi Ling in the future, don't blame me. You will have no choice but to do it."
After giving Xu Ziling a deep and emotional look, he waved his hands and led the masters of Tiance Mansion into the building on his own with a smile.
Xu Ziling sighed secretly, knowing that he had missed the last chance to make peace with Li Shimin.
From this moment on, Li Shimin will become their most terrifying enemy.
