After sending Xu Xing ashore, the two continued their journey.
They breathed a sigh of relief when the sail turned into the Yellow River. It was much easier to escape or hide on this vast river.
Kou Zhong sighed: When we came out from the south, it seemed as if the whole world was trampling under our feet. Little did we know that there were so many twists and turns. Zhifu and the other three suffered misfortunes. We don’t know what happened. We are now even more forced to turn back to the south to pass through the pass without being able to get in. Just think about it.
It makes people feel dejected and lost.
Xu Ziling said: "We must avenge the three of us. It is clear that the Yingui faction's methods are so cruel and abominable. One day we will uproot them so that they can never harm others again."
Kou Zhong's eyes were filled with murderous intent and he said: Apart from Yu Wenhua and Wai, the one who has the deepest hatred towards us right now is the Yin Gui sect's blood debt, which must be paid with blood. Moreover, even if we are willing to swallow our anger, the demon woman and the demon woman Zhu will never let us go.
Xu Ziling said: This is also the reason why I am willing to accompany you to Jiangdu, otherwise I would rush to Baling immediately to pick up Sister Su and her son.
I still don't understand why my father is willing to cooperate with Hu Moupi and the Yingui faction to conquer the world. There must be some reasons that we don't know yet.
Kou Zhongdao: Who cares? Tomorrow we will turn into Tongji Canal and then rush to Jiangdu day and night. However, we need to replenish dry food and water because it will take at least three days and three nights to reach Jiangdu.
Xu Ziling mused: I always have an ominous feeling that this journey may not be so smooth.
Kou Zhong patted Jing Zhongyue on the back and said: Will we be safe one day? Whoever is not afraid of death, just come here!
Ha! Even if I don’t know enough after learning, I still want to take out Uncle Lu’s treasure book and work hard.
Xu Ziling pulled me away and said: I'm sorry for the hard work. It's your turn to be at the helm, Brother Zhong!
＊＊＊
The two finally spent a peaceful night.
At noon the next day, the boat arrived at Liangdu, a large city located to the west of Pengcheng next to Tongji Canal.
They haven't yet decided who will be responsible for guarding the ship. The local gangster who went to buy food has arrived.
Both Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were gangsters, so they tried to calm things down and planned to follow the rules of the rivers and lakes to pay for the road trip so as not to cause trouble.
Kou Zhongjie went down to Jing Zhongyue and went to the dock to negotiate with the visitor.
The leading gang leader saw that Kou Zhong was as powerful as a god and looked calm and calm. He also hurriedly clasped his fists in greetings and said: My brother, Peng Liang Huizhitang incense master Chen Jiafeng, may I ask where this good man comes from and what county he comes from?
Kou Zhong immediately remembered Peng Liang Hui's third-in-command "Yan Niang Zi" and then Ren Meimei thought that this area was within Peng Liang Hui's sphere of influence. But of course he didn't want to let Ren Meimei know what he was doing. He hurriedly said: My brother Fu Ren has just finished his business in Dongdu.
Hurry back to Jiangdu. Ha! Of course there are rules for docking at the dock. Please let Master Chen Xiang tell you how much silver I should pay to your association.
Seeing how humble he was, Chen Jiafeng immediately became arrogant and smiled and said: Seeing Brother Fu's high-spirited look, he must have made enough money. Brother Fu's ship is also of the highest quality. The strangest thing is that Brother Fu seems to have only one clerk on board.
Of course Kou Zhong knew what he wanted to do.
When gangsters meet strangers, they will abide by the golden rule of courtesy first, then attack. In short, it means to first understand the opponent's background before deciding how to attack to maximize benefits.
If he doesn't show his tricks, the other party will take advantage of him and even confiscate the ship.
Chen Jiafeng was accompanied by seven or eight armed men. Just by looking at their demeanor, you could tell they were bullies and gangsters running rampant in the area.
Kou Zhong scratched his head and said: "Brother Chen, well done. Since I dare to sail a high-priced boat with my brother, of course I have credibility. But after all, we are all fellow martial artists, and we respect "Ghost Claw" Nie Jing very much.
He only acts according to the rules because he has a relationship with Ren Meimei, the third in charge of your gang. Brother Chen, you should understand what I mean!
Chen Jiafeng said in astonishment: Who is Brother Fu's online friend?
Kou Zhong took out half an ingot of gold and stuffed it into his hand angrily: "A real person doesn't show his face, but he is not a real person. If Brother Chen is willing to sell friendship, don't get to the bottom of it. Just pretend that he has never met me."
I ignored him and turned back to the boat.
Xu Ziling was pulling the sail alone, and Kou Zhong helped him and said: Peng Lianghui seems to have controlled this waterway, but I don't know where they are going now?
Xu Ziling suddenly said: It turns out that it was Ren Meimei's subordinate who was plotting to either turn to Xu Yuanlang or Li Zitong. Hey! Could it be Yu Wenhuaji?
After trimming the sail, Kou Zhong said: I am responsible for going to the city to purchase it, but please don't let others snatch the boat away.
Xu Ziling smiled and said: If it is Zhu Yuyan who comes, please don't blame me.
Kou Zhong laughed and left.
Xu Ziling was idle - leaning on the railing and watching with nothing to do.
The traffic in the Tongji Canal is surprisingly sparse, especially in the water section heading towards Jiangdu. There are only a few fishing boats traveling there. I wonder if it was affected by the war. Passenger and cargo ships dare not go there.
The wharf is only a thousand steps away from the city gate, and there are three to forty large ships moored there, which pales in comparison to the prosperity of any wharf in the eastern capital.
There are several restaurants and tea stalls on the road leading to the city gate, only visited by a few passers-by, making it feel deserted.
Chen Jiafeng and his gang have disappeared. It stands to reason that if they don't know the background of the two of them, they will never take action easily.
At this moment, he suddenly felt something strange and turned around, just in time to see the back of an infinitely beautiful beauty disappearing into the cabin door.
Even with Xu Ziling's ability to calm down, he immediately broke into a cold sweat.
＊＊＊
When Kou Zhong stepped into the city gate, he still didn't know who controlled the city.
If other cities are willing to allow merchant travelers to enter and exit unless they are in an emergency period of offensive and defensive war, they can collect tariffs and maintain trade.
However, this important town in this section of the Tongji Canal turned out to be like an undefended city. Not only did it not have the proper flag to show sovereignty, but there were no guards guarding the gate. This situation is very rare even in this era of war.
Kou Zhong entered the city at a loss.
The main streets in the city are cross-shaped and have stone slabs running through the four gates. The streets and alleys form a grid and lead to the main street. Most of the residents are brick and wooden houses, simple and neat, which should be a comfortable and peaceful living environment. But at this time, most of them have ten rooms and nine empty spaces.
All the shops were closed, as if a disaster was about to happen, and some of the shops were even looted.
There were only scattered pedestrians on the road, all passing by in a hurry, like a dead city.
The sound of footsteps came from behind.
Kou Zhong stopped and stood in the middle of the street.
Chen Jiafeng came to his side and sighed: "War is really harmful. A prosperous city will become like this."
Kou Zhong felt the same and asked: What happened?
Chen Jiafeng said solemnly: "It's really hard to describe. If you had come a few days earlier, you would have seen the horrific scene of tens of millions of people crowded here, the roads blocked with water, screaming loudly and running for their lives."
Kou Zhong was puzzled and asked: Who owns this city? And who wants to attack the city?
Chen Jiafeng replied: This city has gone through several hands. The last one was Xu Yuanlang's, but good times don't last forever. Recently, Dou Jiande sent his army across the river to attack Xu Yuanlang's base city Ren Xu Yuanlang, so Xu Yuanlang hastily dispatched Liangdu troops to assist Liangdu in defense.
It was so weak that even the hundreds of defenders escaped, turning Liangdu into an unattended city.
Kou Zhong said in astonishment: Is Dou Jiande so terrible?
Chen Jiafeng said: Of course Dou Jiande is not terrible. In terms of reputation, he is much better than Xu Yuanlang, but Yu Wenhuaji's dog-legged thieves are more terrifying than the ghosts of the Emperor of Hell.
Kou Zhong's eyes immediately lit up.
Chen Jiafeng continued: On that day, when Yu Wenhuaji and his troops returned from the north of Jiangdu, they grabbed the place and killed the people and women. So when the news spread, everyone rushed to take refuge in the nearby countryside. Alas! It is not easy to leave these days. There is war everywhere.
Kou Zhong said in a deep voice: Will Yu Wenhuaji come in person?
Chen Jiafeng said: "No one knows that we are monks for a day and hit the clock. If the situation is not right, we will run away. If Brother Fu doesn't mind, can you be generous and send us to Jiangdu?"
Kou Zhong said in astonishment: Isn't it easy for you to get to Jiangdu?
Chen Jiafeng Zhengzheng looked at him for a long time and then his face darkened and he said: It turns out that you are not familiar with the situation in Jiangdu at all, and you don't know that Li Zitong has set up a lot of barriers in the river channels. No ships are allowed to sail to Jiangdu unless they are related to them. Otherwise, I Why beg you?
Kou Zhong smiled and said: I really don't know the situation in Jiangdu because I haven't been back for a long time, but it has nothing to do with Li Zitong. Brother Chen, you can rest assured.
Chen Jiafeng asked dubiously: What is the relationship between Brother Fu and Li Zitong?
Kou Zhong didn't answer but asked: Is it because your Peng Liang Society is one of the eight gangs and ten guilds? Why don't you take the opportunity to take Liang Du over?
Chen Jiafeng sighed: If I hadn't seen that Brother Fu is an ordinary brother, I wouldn't have bothered to talk to you so much. Today is different from the past. When the faint king was killed, we, under the leadership of Gang Leader Nie, took down the four enemies near Pengcheng and Liangdu in one fell swoop. More than a dozen villages and towns thought they could take control of the territory and achieve great success. Unexpectedly, they were defeated by Yu Wenhuaji and Xu Yuanlang. Recently, even Pengcheng was captured by barbarians. Our Pengliang Society is in name only and we don't even know where the leader is.
Kou Zhong was stunned and said: What kind of barbarian?
＊＊＊
Xu Ziling swept through the cabin door and moved between the four doors in the cabin. He took a deep breath and then opened the door on the left side of the cabin door.
Under the sunlight that shines through the cabin window, the breathtakingly beautiful woman is sitting on the chair by the window, lowering her head and looking attentively - her bare feet, which are flawless and not stained with any common dust, seem a little shy but still It seems to be just her usual strange determination.
She did not look at Xu Ziling immediately and only said: You and I must finally resolve it completely, right?
Her tone of voice is not only as gentle as whispering on the pillow, but also as slow as placing each word gently in the space, giving people a very peaceful feeling.
Xu Ziling leaned against the door frame coolly and said angrily: Just do it! Why is there so much nonsense?
□□ Finally raised her head to look at him and gently shook her long body, which reached her belly. The dark light captured her beauty. Her face was as white as jade, her dark eyebrows were emerald, and her beautiful eyes were looking forward to making waves. Even with Xu Ziling's indifference to her beauty, he had to admit that she was really alluring. Extremely human.
I just heard her whisper softly: Why don't you ask why you can catch up with you here and now?
Xu Ziling shrugged and said, "What's so surprising about that? If Bichen can't defeat him, we'll have to do it by you, right?"
□□ Yizhengdao: We always underestimate the two of you. Fortunately, we will not make this mistake again in the future.
Xu Ziling frowned and said: If you keep talking nonsense, I will go find Kou Zhong!
□□ She frowned slightly and said in displeasure: "Don't rush me! I'm trying to find a reason for myself not to kill you."
Xu Ziling laughed dumbly and said: Why worry so much. I am so impatient that I want to see if you really have such means, just let me go!
Suddenly his expression changed and he came to the sky above the ship.
The ropes that tied the boat to the boat had been cut, and the boat was moving away from the shore and downstream.
The demonic energy of □□ is attacking from under your feet.
＊＊＊
Chen Jiafeng said angrily: The barbarians are those heavenly Khitans. They took advantage of the war in the Central Plains and colluded with the scum among us Han people to form the East China Sea Alliance, which specialized in plundering coastal towns. After plundering the goods and women, they transported them back to their homes.
Kou Zhong said in astonishment: Are the Khitans so powerful? Where is Pinglu?
Chen Jiafeng said: Their riding and shooting skills are very good. The current leader of the East China Sea League is called Brother Ku. He is the eldest son of the Qi Chief Mo Society. He is good at using double ax martial arts to tyrannize our second master and he also died at his hands. As for Pinglu, I don’t know where it is.
Daqing sounds like the land of the Khitan people in neighboring Korea.
Xuan sighed again: Although there are not many of them, they come and go as quickly as the wind, and they can escape to the sea. So far, no one has done anything to catch them.
The sound of footsteps suddenly started.
The two of them followed the sound and saw one of Chen Jiafeng's men rushing over angrily: "Oh no! Someone is hijacking the ship!"
＊＊＊
Xu Ziling knew very well that if he couldn't escape first and got entangled with him, it would be a life-or-death situation.
If his guess was correct, the Yingui faction was determined to get rid of them because they no longer had any useable value and were afraid that they would return to the south and ruin Du Fuwei's good deeds.
But killing them is no longer as easy as before, especially when two people are joined together, they can always exert a greater power than the sum of the two. Therefore, I followed them until here and waited for the opportunity for the two to separate before taking action.
Deal with Xu Ziling.
The long-lost Bian Fuxia also swung up from the direction of the cabin door and rushed towards him. It was obvious that he had misjudged the direction in which he was leaving the cabin.
His life was saved from the hands of the King of Hell. Otherwise, if he was attacked from the front and back by the two men in the corridor, he still would have survived.
When the Heavenly Demon helped Xu Ziling to reach his body, he took a sudden breath of infuriating energy and generated new strength, so he flew towards the top of the sail pole and laughed and said: Excuse me!
Just as he was changing direction and chasing after him, Xu Ziling soared into the air like a big bird, crossed the river nearly ten feet, and landed on the bank.
□□ I had lost all my energy, so I had to fall down on the pole and look at him with a pale face - he ran away.
At this time, Kou Zhong rushed from the city gate like a shooting star and shouted: If you have the guts, the demon girl will come ashore and fight me, Kou Zhong, for three hundred rounds, and I will cut you into two or three pieces.
The sailboat was flowing straight down.
Bian Fuli sneered and said: Let you two live a few more days! Suddenly he showed a sweet smile.
The two of them sat down slumped on the shore.
Kou Zhong smiled bitterly and said: Unexpectedly, the words turned out to be a prophecy. The treasure ship was indeed snatched away, but I have no right to blame you because I can't find food and grass to come back.
At this time, Chen Jiafeng and a group of big men arrived, and everyone showed admiration and respect on their faces.
Kou Zhong glanced at them angrily and said: The boat has been lost! You can find your own way to Jiangdu!
Chen Jiafeng said in embarrassment: We are so blind that we don’t know that these two people are the world-famous Masters Kou and Xu.
Xu Ziling sighed: What is so famous all over the world? All the ships are gone.
Chen Jiafeng asked in a low voice: Are those two demons from the Yingui sect just now?
Kou Zhongtou should be.
Chen Jiafeng showed an expression of admiration and said: There are only two uncles in the world who are not afraid of them.
Xu Ziling laughed and said: Zan people also have a sense of proportion. At least the people in Cihang Jingzhai are not afraid that the Yingui sect is not the only one.
A man behind Chen Jiafeng gave a thumbs up and said: Mr. Xu is the real hero, don’t be shy or boastful.
Kou Zhong said: "You can't do anything to cure my empty stomach. Is there any way to get a drink? After eating the food, everyone went their separate ways."
Chen Jiafeng said happily: "It's just a small effort, two gentlemen please!"
How could the two of them be so polite as to follow them back to the city?
