The city gate had just opened. Xu Ziling put on a mask and changed into a blue robe, and immediately transformed into the same appearance as when he stole the Heshi Bi. He slowly entered the city with an official pass.
He did not intentionally stoop. With his tall and unkempt body, coupled with his slender and majestic face, his image as an old man is quite eye-catching.
He also had a long knife hanging on his waist, looking like a veteran of the old world.
Because it was still two hours before he left the scheduled meeting with Kou Zhong, Zhu casually wandered around the city and unknowingly walked onto the familiar Tianjin Bridge.
There were more and more people and cars on the bridge. Xu Ziling thought of the scene last night where he listened to the story of his master and concubine Xuan, and an unspeakable feeling that was both moving and slightly melancholy welled up in his heart.
Why did she suddenly leave the Zen monastery to find him? Or maybe she suddenly ran into him while doing other things.
All in all, her actions are often unexpected and contain hidden mysteries that are hard to fathom.
When I stepped off the Tianjin Bridge, my mind wandered to the cold place of Ba Feng.
This Zhuo Turkic swordsman who had lived and died with him was not as ruthless as he appeared. At least he felt guilty for Badel and tried every means to avoid her.
Just then he saw two acquaintances.
And the dark clouds were moving rapidly in the sky and the heavy rain was coming.
※※※
The rain falling on the eaves and windows turned from light to dense. In an instant, the whole world outside the house was filled with the sound of pattering rain, just like the masterful hands of nature playing the most beautiful music.
Kou Zhong, who was hugging Xiangjie's quilt and lying in high position as Yuanlong, first thought of Xu Ziling sleeping in the wilderness, then Shang Xiufang's touching singing voice that could never be tired of being heard, and then leaning on Song Yuzhi's arms and feeling the gentle and melting intoxication in his nostrils.
It still seems to be filled with her orchid body fragrance.
Unexpectedly, this beauty who loved and hated him didn't throw him to the ground, but actually picked him up and threw him
When he got to the bench, he ordered his men to carry him into the guest room, which really flattered him.
If he didn't have good feelings and love for her, he was lying to himself. At least when she was around, he never felt lonely and time flew by much faster.
He had never slept so sweetly since Jingling's defeat.
The sound of rain outside made him feel safe and comfortable in the room.
Li Xiuning's impression suddenly became blurred and was replaced by Song Yu's moving grace that was a mixture of joy and anger.
Footsteps sounded.
The door opened with a bang.
Then there was the sound of the window closing.
Kou Zhong could tell without looking that Song Yuzhi was surprised. Why bother her third sister's delicate hands with such a task that should be done by a maid.
This thought was still swirling in his mind. Song Yuzhi came to the outside of the tent and shouted: Have you slept enough? Why don't you get up!
Kou Zhong stretched his body and stuck his hand out of the tent and said: "Third sister, can you please pull me up?"
Snapped!
Song Yuzhi gave him a hard blow on his open palm and said: If you keep messing around, I will throw you out the door.
Kou Zhong Xuexue sat up in pain and complained: Can't a light beating work?
Song Yuzhi was so angry that he turned his back and said angrily: Scoundrel!
Kou Zhong stuck his feet out of the tent and got up from the bed, standing just behind her, smiling and saying: I, Kou Zhongcha, will never forget the kindness and kindness shown by Third Sister in taking her in last night.
Song Yuzhi was stunned and said: What's the difference?
Kou Zhong leaned close to her ear and said softly: If the third sister is willing to treat me with her own boudoir, then I will never forget her.
Song Yuzhi took a step forward, turned around and waved his palms.
Snapped!
Five blood stains immediately appeared on Kou Zhong's face and disappeared instantly.
Song Yuzhi said in astonishment: Why don't you avoid it?
Kou Zhong held his face and smiled and said: I deserve to be punished for making Third Sister so angry.
Song Yuzhi sighed with a complicated look in his eyes: "Kou Zhong, what kind of person are you?"
Kou Zhong slumped down and sat down on the edge of the bed. Su Su's incident came to his mind and he whispered with a sad look in his eyes: "Unless Third Sister is willing to marry me, I will never force you."
Song Yuzhi's face calmed down and she slowly moved to the window near the garden and said softly: In this case, please don't appear in front of Yuzhi's eyes again.
Kou Zhong was stunned and said: If the third sister has such an intention, I, Kou Zhong, will definitely comply with it. Alas! I didn't expect that it was me who was so sentimental. It's so funny!
Song Yuzhi turned around like a whirlwind and stared at him fiercely and said: You don't have anything in your heart to be sentimental about me, and I will kill you.
Kou Zhong said in astonishment: How could I not have you in my heart? Last night I dreamed of having sex with the third sister in her boudoir!
It was really a dream that my brother will never forget.
Song Yuzhi's pretty face turned red and she was about to pull out her sword. She lost her composure and stamped her feet and yelled: "Hasn't the big scoundrel who can't grow ivory from a dog's mouth taken enough advantage of others?"
Kou Zhong said solemnly: I did take advantage of the third sister last night. That is the sweetest thing in the world.
Song Yuzhi was so angry that he sat down on the chair by the window and was speechless for a while.
Kou Zhong came barefoot to her chair and knelt down on one knee, grabbing the handle of the chair with both hands and looking up at the beauty who was puffing up her cheeks. He said softly: I dare to report to the sky. Kou Zhong definitely has Song Yuzhi in his heart.
Song Yuzhi met his gaze and said: Of course! Because I am one of your stepping stones to conquer the world.
Kou Zhong shook his head and said: In the beginning, I was indeed utilitarian. But last night, I found that I couldn't help but think about you, Yuzhi.
After returning to the city last night, he was in pain and embarrassment because Ren En and others were brutally killed and heard about Su Su's misfortune. For some reason, he suddenly wanted to see Song Yuzhi, so he came to look for her.
Song Yuzhi's face was surprisingly calm. Zhishui said slowly: "Kou Zhong, you must remember that a man is true to his word. You just promised not to bother Yuzhi again. How can you go back on your word now? I don't care whether you are sincere or not. In short, I
My heart can't hold you, so let's go!
Kou Zhong's heart felt as if he had been hit hard by a 10,000-pound hammer, so painful that he almost fell to the ground.
Suddenly, he knew clearly that his inappropriate posture at the beginning had deeply offended Song Yu and made her unable to accept him anymore.
She must have a deep love for him, Kou Zhong, but her hatred is equally deep.
It is now a mistake that is hard to come back from.
Apart from his pale face, his outward expression did not reveal his inner feelings.
He stood up, took a deep look at her, and then said dejectedly: "Jade is so precious!"
Just go back to the windy and rainy outdoors barefoot.
※※※
Xu Ziling held the umbrella he just bought and crept behind Zheng Shuming and Bai Qinger.
Zheng Shuming was the female head of the Yangtze River Alliance. Because her husband died at the hands of Ba Fenghan, she led a coalition of Qingjiang Faction, Cangwu Faction, Jiangnanhui, Mingyang Gang, Tiandong Faction, etc. under the alliance to besiege Ba Fenghan.
It happened that Zheng Shuming and Kou Zhong happened to sabotage it. Later, out of hatred, Zheng Shuming teamed up with Qian Duguan, Evil Monk, Yanni and others to ambush them in the city. After the two escaped from the encirclement, they left Zheng Shuming behind. Unexpectedly, she would be here at this time
Will come to Luoyang.
The newly widowed scholar was as beautiful as ever, holding an umbrella with Bai Qing'er, chatting and laughing, hanging out in the rouge and gouache shop on Tianjie, seemingly forgetting the pain of losing her husband.
Xu Ziling had nothing to do, but he hoped to get clues about the Yingui sect from Bai Qing'er and followed them around the block.
It is also easy to hide under the cover of heavy rain.
At this moment, someone came to his side and whispered: Could this old man lend me a word?
Xu Ziling was certain that he had never heard this person's voice before he looked at the visitor and sneered hoarsely: I have no interest in talking to anyone, so get out of here.
The man roared angrily: This is called toasting and drinking fine wine to show Mr. Zheng how good you are.
It means the wind is coming.
Xu Ziling apparated and changed places, only to move to another location in a flash, separated from the attacker by two piles of seven or eight others who were hiding under the eaves to avoid the rain.
The man let out a sigh, showing that he was greatly surprised by Xu Ziling's cleverness.
Xu Ziling guessed that the other party was the madman Zheng Shiru from Henan. Knowing that he was following the two women, Zhu Zhu quickly turned into an alley with an umbrella.
The low-lying areas on the ground are now full of rainwater, and the rain is still pouring down the eaves. The water splashing on the ground creates strange shapes and patterns, creating a rain scene of this great city.
Zheng Shiru caught up from behind and yelled: Stop!
Xu Ziling put his hand on the handle of the knife and stood still and said coldly: I haven't used a knife to kill anyone for decades. You'd better not force me to break the habit.
Zheng Shiru said in a deep voice: What is my father-in-law's surname?
Xu Ziling muttered disdainfully: Isn't it superfluous for you to ask questions even though you know that I won't tell you my name?
Putting on the mask of this company, Xu Ziling felt that he had assumed another identity and became a very domineering and cold old man.
Zheng Shiru laughed and said, "You don't need to come out. I, Zheng Shiru, can guess your identity. When did Ba Daoyue Mountain, which was famous in northern Shaanxi forty years ago, become so hidden?"
Xu Ziling was so amused that he decided to find out who this Ba Dao Yueshan was. He groaned and continued walking forward.
Zheng Shiru didn't dare to chase after him and only shouted: Teacher Yue went out to the mountain this time to avenge his shame, but now the situation has changed and it is difficult for him to realize his ambition. Teacher Yue, please think twice and see Shiru later.
Xu Ziling walked for a while without looking back to make sure no one was following him, then he ducked into a corner and changed into Scar Hero.
mask.
I thought that this Ba Dao Yueshan must have once been a powerful master, but due to some setbacks, he went into seclusion for decades. It only seemed that top masters of Zheng Shiru's level still respected him and actively recruited him.
I know that his martial arts skills are extraordinary.
But at this time, there was no time to think too much about rushing to meet Kou Zhong.
※※※
Kou Zhong quickly crossed the waterproof gate of Fucheng Silk and Satin Store and stepped into the vast lobby of the most famous store in Luoyang. When the boss Li Fucheng was promoting the goods in his hands to Zheng Shuming and Bai Qing'er, he said: This is the authentic Lu
Brocade must be pre-dyed before weaving, so it has many colors and bright patterns. It starts from beating cotton, twisting the cloth core, spinning thread, dyeing, sizing, winding, warp, drawing and weaving, and finishing to the final strictness.
All processes are inspected meticulously. The painting I have in my hand right now is a heart-throb: Hey!
Only at this moment did he realize that the two pairs of beautiful eyes of Bai Qing'er and Zheng Shuming were looking elsewhere.
In fact, the eyes of the five waiters and three other groups of customers in the store were all focused on Kou Zhonghe and the water stains dripping from his body and soaking a large area of the floor.
Kou Zhong seemed to have no idea that he had become the target of public criticism. If it weren't for his strong physique and carrying a long sword, he would have been kicked out of the door.
As he took out his secret book, wallet and other items wrapped in waterproof silk from his arms, he shouted: I don't want a woman's heartthrob, just a set of ready-made men's clothes and a pair of riding boots. If you don't have them here, give them to me elsewhere.
I'll pay double the price when I get it back. Oh! It's so uncomfortable!
Zheng Shuming's beautiful eyes shot out a cold murderous sound like ice and snow spitting out from the gap between her jade teeth, and she scolded: "Kou Zhong is you!"
As soon as the word "Kou Zhong" came out, Li Fucheng and the other gang members immediately looked in awe.
Li Fucheng casually threw Lu Jin, who praised him to the heavens and the earth, and bowed and said: "It turns out that Mr. Kou is disrespectful and disrespectful. Master Shangshu is an old friend of Fucheng. Please come and sit down inside and have a sip of hot tea. Everything will be done for Mr. Kou." It must be attached properly.
Kou Zhong secretly thought that Luoyang is not only the transportation hub of the world, but also the metropolis where news is transmitted the fastest. He said happily: "I will explain to my old friend first if the boss wants to measure my size. My brother is more happy with the looser clothes!"
Li Fucheng seemed to have forgotten the two girls and quickly took the soft ruler handed by the waiter and started busy in front of Koo Zhong regardless of his soaked body.
Kou Zhong blinked at Zheng Shuming who was glaring at him and said with a smile: Why are you staring at me like Ba Fenghan? Ladies and gentlemen are at the same level, so ladies are not allowed to touch a gentleman when he speaks. Later I will book a banquet with the female boss. Is it okay to apologize?
Bai Qing'er smiled coquettishly, holding Zheng Shuming's arm and saying: Sister, don't pay attention to him, let's go somewhere else to play, out of sight, out of mind.
How could Kou Zhong let her go? He smiled and said, "Don't forget to inform the demon girl sooner or later. I will settle accounts with her with old and new grudges."
Bai Qing'er pouted her beautiful red mouth and said nonchalantly: "I don't know where you are, let's go."
Zheng Shuming asked in confusion: What kind of witch?
Before she could finish her words, Bai Qing'er pulled her away to the street.
Kou Zhong shouted: Apart from the witches of the Yingui sect, where are there witches? Ha! Alas!
Thinking of Song Yu, his smile immediately disappeared.
※※※
Xu Ziling's scar-faced hero walks slowly on the street holding an umbrella.
After taking off his outer robe, he turned into a powerful suit and no longer had the shadow of the previous Ba Dao Yueshan.
Even if nothing happened to Zheng Shiru, he was still ready to change his face so that the elderly people who came to the city would completely disappear without leaving any traces for people to trace.
The channel between the pedestrian path and the carriageway turned into two streams. The rainwater pouring down like a curtain from the tiled eaves on both sides continued to pour into the street like a new force, with the potential to rush forward. Fortunately, Luoyang's water drainage system Give full play to your ability, otherwise you will become a country.
There were raindrops everywhere on the ground, the vision was blurred from far and near, and there were only a few people and cars on the street. Xu Ziling couldn't help but have a strange feeling that he was alone in the world.
What would it be like if Shi Feixuan were walking with him in the heavy rain, listening to her touching stories and smelling the fragrance from her body.
He remembered the profile of this elegant and fairy-like beauty gazing at Luo Shui from the bridge railing. Her expression was so focused that she could not feel his glance at all. She was only immersed in a magical thinking space and she seemed to be living in two different places with him. Between different worlds.
The unexpected meeting between his master and his concubine was not only unforgettable but also endlessly interesting to him.
He had never experienced the shock and feeling that Shifei Xuan gave him, like an unknown force that brought him into a dream-like realm that he had never set foot in before, but it was hard to believe that it had really happened until this moment.
What is going on deep inside this stunning beauty?
If he, Xu Ziling, held her in his arms with his strong arms, what would happen to her pair of deep and beautiful eyes that were so pure and beautiful that they could not be compared to the world?
A wry smile appeared at the corner of Xu Ziling's mouth.
Since practicing the Art of Immortality, he has become increasingly indifferent to the love between men and women. He has never had such a desire in the past, but I wonder if the sudden heavy rain made him have this depressing thought.
After all, she is an outsider and has a profound cultivation. What she pursues is a lofty ideal, not a man or a woman. Any wishful thinking towards her will only end up leaving residual resentment in the mirror.
Xu Ziling took a deep breath and all his thoughts turned into one thought and each thought turned into no thoughts.
All the annoying thoughts immediately disappeared and I walked towards my destination calmly.
