Chen Jiafeng ordered people to open the wooden board sealing the restaurant and bowed: "Master Kou, Mr. Xu, please find a table and sit down. We will start the stove and light a fire immediately to prepare some authentic specialty dishes and wine for the two uncles. We have sent people to prepare for the meal immediately. Send me a message." The two of them were very interested and sat down at the large round table in the middle.
The tables and chairs were still dusty because the owner had been gone for a few days.
Koo Zhong looked through the open door at the cold street illuminated by the setting sun and shook his head and sighed: "It's such a pity that a prosperous city where we can live and work in peace and contentment has to suffer disaster in the blink of an eye!"
Xu Ziling still didn't understand what was going on and asked: "What kind of disaster?"
At this time, a member of the Pengliang Society happily walked into the house with a jar of wine and was very busy looking for a pot for them.
Kou Zhong watched the wine being poured into the bottle and said calmly: "Listen to Yu Wenhua's bones!"
Xu Ziling was shocked and shouted: "What?"
Kou Zhong said hurriedly: "I have to exaggerate that a person with Yuwen culture bones may come, but I don't know if Yuwen culture bones are willing to be sent to our door so cheaply to die."
The people in the group admired them greatly when they heard the words: "Master Kou and Master Xu are so amazing that they don't even take Yu Wenhua... Yu Wenhuaji seriously."
Kou Zhong laughed and cursed: "How dare you eavesdrop on our secret words? Get away!"
The crowd happily accepted the offer and respectfully said, "Get away immediately when you're done!" They left happily. It seemed like an incomparable honor to be able to give Kou Zhong a few scoldings.
Xu Ziling's eyes were full of murderous intent and he said in a deep voice: "As long as there is a chance, we must be patient and wait for his arrival."
Kou Zhong laughed and raised his glass: "This cup is for my mother's spirit in heaven."
"Ding"!
The two glasses were consumed in one gulp.
Kou Zhong laughed hoarsely and said: "Why don't we seem to mind at all that the witch will go and come back?"
Xu Ziling leaned comfortably on the back of the chair and let out a long breath and said calmly: "Now the only two people who have made it clear are Demon Girl and Bian Fulai, and we are afraid of them. Alas! I am tired of the life of hiding here and there. If you are brave enough, just let your horse come over!"
"boom"!
Kou Zhong hit the stage and shouted: "Well done!"
The two of them smelled the aroma of cooking coming from the kitchen at the back and looked at the gradually darkening street, feeling lazy and unwilling to move a finger.
All the people and events in the past seem to have nothing to do with this moment, as if they had never happened.
Kou Zhong untied Jing Zhongyue and placed it on the table, stretched out and put his feet on the edge of the table, and sighed comfortably: "Young Master Ling! Do you have the feeling that this whole city belongs to you?"
The sudden and rapid sound of hoofbeats came from the direction of the city gate and it took a while before it stopped.
The two of them listened as if they didn't hear anything and were unmoved.
Xu Ziling said thoughtfully: "You seem to have forgotten Song Yuzhi, right?"
Kou Zhong was stunned for a long time and said: "Yes! I haven't thought of her for a long time. Apart from you, I have less and less expectations and requirements for anyone else. Song Yuzhi is a real lady, a lady trained by a noble family. But there is a fundamental difference between her and us. She is a supporter of the rules of the game, while I, Kou Zhong, am just a deviant destroyer. But this difference has destined us not to be together. What you and I do are so different. Is this something she likes?"
Xu Ziling thought for a moment and said slowly: "But have you ever thought that this is what attracts her to you?"
Kou Zhong smiled bitterly and said: "For her, it is just a kind of indulgence and addiction that she hates deeply, so she is in pain and I feel very tired. Both you and I are people who don't understand etiquette and rules. We are most leisurely when we use foul language. But she is Another kind of person, so in the end we are all finished. The superficial reason is just her excuse."
Xu Ziling said in surprise: "Although I think the real situation may not be what you think, your analysis of her is undoubtedly very in-depth. I didn't expect you to have such profound thoughts."
Kou Zhong sighed: "I have chosen a long road with no turning back. Everything else will be thrown away.
Sometimes I really envy Hou Xibai, who can take time to paint a few strokes on the fan with this beautiful girl or that charming girl when he is happy, and he can pretend to be a lonely barbarian knight and wander around the rivers and lakes watching the fire. Ha!"
Xu Ziling smiled and said: "What's so funny."
Kou Zhong patted his forehead and said, "I just feel sorry for him. If it hadn't been for you, Master Ling, I might not have been able to show my favor to him!"
Xu Ziling said angrily: "You want to drag me into trouble again, you have bad intentions."
Chen Jiafeng came to the table with a solemn look and said, "I just received a report that a group of about five to six hundred knights are coming from the direction of Pengcheng and will arrive here within two hours."
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling exchanged disappointed looks. Of course the person coming was not from Yu Wenji.
Chen Jiafeng continued: "The ones coming must be the Khitan barbarians from the East China Sea Alliance. We, Peng Liang, will have a bloody feud with them. If the two uncles are willing to come forward, we are willing to join Jiwei."
Kou Zhong asked in confusion: "Aren't you planning to run away? Why are you suddenly eager to try again?"
Chen Jiafeng sat down and said, "Frankly, although we wish we could eat their flesh and drink their blood, we know how much we weigh." Kou Zhong poured a glass of wine for him and said with a smile, "Don't have such high expectations for us on the battlefield. A charge into battle is not the same as a decisive battle in Jianghu. Even Ning Daoqi cannot kill many of five or six hundred people."
Xu Ziling waited for him to finish drinking and asked in a deep voice: "How many of you are there?"
Chen Jiafeng wiped off the wine stains on his horns and replied: "There are only fifty-three people. We have already agreed that as long as Master Kou and Master Xu are willing to give in, we will fight to the death against the Khitan thieves."
Kou Zhong said: "How many people are there in the city now?"
Chen Jiafeng said: "Everyone who can leave has gone. The rest are elderly or people who are lucky. I'm afraid there are hundreds of them: "Kou Zhong said to Xu Ziling! What do you think of the case?"
Under Chen Jiafeng's expectation, Xu Ziling pondered for a while and said with a smile: "We have no chance of winning, but if we can only outsmart and fight hard, we will definitely lose."
Kou Zhongchang smiled and said: "Okay! Then let us kill the Khitan traitor to death so that Brother Ku will know that there are many heroes in the Central Plains who can subdue him!"
Then he slapped the table and shouted: "Ignore this meal for now, we will go out to the street to eat and get drunk. Brother Ku may come and join in the fun!"
＊＊＊
The city gate of Liangdu was opened wide and the suspension bridge was lowered.
Starting from the city gate, there are torches placed every ten steps on both sides, extending along the street like two fire dragons until they end at the round platform in the middle of the street.
The table was filled with wine and food. Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling faced the city gate and sat at the table, munching and chatting happily.
Except for the two of them, there was not a single person in the city. The section of street from the city gate to where they were sitting was illuminated by torches as bright as day, but the rest of the city was dark, creating a strange contrast.
Kou Zhong took a sip of wine and smiled bitterly: "It's all because of you that you brought up Song Yuzhi for no reason and made me sad."
Xu Ziling said apologetically: "Then I have to apologize to you. What are you thinking about now?"
Kou Zhong stretched out his hand to grab his shoulder and said: "There is no need for two brothers to apologize. I just suddenly thought that even if I and the third sister of the Song family reached the stage of each other's vows, her happiness would still not begin because the chaos and war in the world have not ended yet. Every day I They are all burdened with the struggle of life and death with others - even I don't know how heavy the burden is. It is a good thing to think that these precious treasures have left me."
Xu Ziling said with emotion: "Until now, I really believe that you have true feelings for Song Yuzhi because for the first time you are willing to think for Song Yuzhi instead of just thinking about utilitarianism."
Kou Zhongxhenx——Hua 螞-Pan Fan-Zheng-Green Jiao Qingjiang MuㄍTang Si Arc Wrinkled and Tired-Slow Jia Lie Jian Shanbo-?The throat is spitting fire and gasping-it takes a long time to sigh
Said: "If I don't think about her, how can I let her go? Besides, I know very well that her defense against me is as weak as Liang Du's now."
Xu Ziling said with emotion: "We are very different from a noble lady like Song Yuzhi in terms of background.
If we insist on living together, there will definitely be many problems."
Kou Zhong smiled and said: "Do you think of Shi Fei Xuan? Her monastic life seems to me like a heavy and unreal dream, with many shackles of heaven and earth, no semi-freedom, and no reason to abandon the world.
What’s so addictive about all the moving things!”
Xu Ziling laughed dumbly and said: "Talking about Zen and Taoism with a layman like you is like playing the harp with a cow, or talking about sex with a deaf person or a blind person."
Kou Zhong laughed and said: "So Concubine Xuan looks down on my younger brother, but favors you because you and she are the same kind of people! Ha! Master Ling, please serve vegetarian food."
He stuffed a lot of vegetables into his rice bowl.
Xu Ziling said with both laughter and laughter: "What is your intention to always bring me and Shi Fei Xuan together?"
A gust of wind blew from the direction of the city gate, causing the lights of more than a hundred torches to jump up and down, as if to remind them that the Khitan horse thieves could arrive at any moment.
Xu Ziling changed the subject and said, "I almost forgot to ask you what Li Zi's skills are?"
Kou Zhong said: "Under such circumstances, we still can't hurt him, so we know that he won't do much harm to us."
Kou Zhong pondered for a moment and continued in a low voice: "Are we doing something very stupid now? We know nothing about the true strength of the Khitan people. We only know that even the Pengliang Society was destroyed by them."
Xu Ziling said flatly: "People sometimes do stupid things. Just think about the many things you thought were smart but turned out to be stupid things, and you will feel relieved."
Kou Zhong laughed loudly and said, "Well done! I'll let my brother Jingling lose one."
As soon as Xu Ziling raised the warning sign in Mencius's heart, he and Kou Zhongqi looked towards the city gate and immediately screamed in their hearts at the same time.
The beauty as beautiful as an elf was drifting towards them through the open city gate with a gust of wind as if it did not touch the ground.
In this battle, if you know yourself but don't know the enemy, the outcome is uncertain.
At this critical moment when the enemy is approaching at any time, if this uncertain factor is added to the mix and it will only hold them back, they may not be able to escape even if they want to.
□□ In plain clothes and bare feet, with a faint smile on his face, he sat in the empty chair opposite the two of them with an extremely elegant gesture.
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling's eyes looked sharp and murderous.
Wouldn't it be ideal if one could hit the lone witch in front of him with a thunderbolt that could hurt or kill him?
This is an idea that has never occurred to me.
Even though I had been tough in the past, I knew in my heart that I had no ability to deal with her.
However, their martial arts are improving by leaps and bounds every day. If they can join forces to attack without escaping, I am afraid that even I would not dare to deny the possibility.
□□ With her low, soft and alluring voice as soft as cotton, she said calmly: "A gentleman talks but does not act. If you are unwilling to be a gentleman, the first ones to suffer will be your newly made friends from the Pengliang Society."
The two of them looked at each other in astonishment.
Just a few simple sentences showed that she had grasped the entire situation, including their fatal weaknesses.
The reason why they agreed to the righteous action by Chen Jiafeng and others was not because they wanted to avenge the gang that only represented another gang of gangsters, but because of three reasons.
The most important reason is that they don’t want such a beautiful and peaceful ancient city to be destroyed; the second reason is the indignation caused by the alien invasion that ravaged the Central Plains; and the last reason is that they hope to wait for Yu Wenhua and this rabbit to come to their doorstep and assassinate them here.
It is much easier to interact with culture and nature than to act in his own land.
But you are here to make trouble like this and teach them how to deal with it distractedly? Kou Zhong put on a smile and said: "Sister, please calm down! Are you hungry after drinking water and wine? I guarantee that the vegetarian food is not poisoned!"
□□ Looked at her with a smile - Kou Zhong poured wine for her diligently and said softly: "How good is this! Even enemies can sometimes sit down and have a drink and talk!"
Ever since he officially turned against him, Xu Ziling had never tried to take a closer look at the demon witch at such a close distance and in a peaceful atmosphere. But no matter how he searched, he could not find anything semi-evil in her temperament. But he had
Witnessed her cruel and cruel methods with my own eyes.
Her peerless appearance can be compared to the beauty of Master Fei Xuan without being inferior. The only difference is that the latter reminds people of empty mountains and spiritual rain, while the latter reminds people of deserts and bald plains.
□□ Did not pick up the wine, her eyes drifted to Xu Ziling, and she said softly: "Zi Ling, can we put aside the old grudges and discuss it now?"
Xu Ziling was surprised and said: "You are taking advantage of others' danger and still have a good deal of discussion?"
□□ said with a sarcastic tone: "Who is not taking advantage of others' danger now? Who doesn't want to take advantage of others' danger? It's not Ziling's first day in the world, why would he still say such words?"
Kou Zhong knew that Xu Ziling's character was afraid that they would get into trouble and hurriedly interjected: "If you have anything to say, hey! I have always had a question in my mind. Now that it is clear that we want to have a heart-to-heart talk, can I ask Sister to answer it?"
Knowing that he was going to go elsewhere, he was still happy to accompany him and said happily: "Brother Ku's horse thief regiment will arrive at the city gate within half an hour. If it doesn't take too much time, I should answer all questions."
Kou Zhong smiled and said: "It's just a simple question: why does the Yingui sect get involved in this dispute to become the master of the world?"
□□ shrugged and said: "Who doesn't want to dominate the world? Is this a redundant question?"
Kou Zhong said happily: "For Li Mi, Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande, Li Shimin and others, this is indeed a stupid question. There is no greater achievement in life than establishing a dynasty and establishing an immortal emperor to dominate the world for thousands of generations. But for Master Zhu Yuyan, maybe
I’m afraid my real pursuit is not wealth or power in this world!”
□□ smiled slightly and said: "I didn't expect you to understand us so well. Or maybe it's like this! Who rules the world is an expansion and continuation of our struggle with Cihang Jingzhai. It is also for this reason that I am willing to sit down and talk to you.
Just be calm. Otherwise, if we use all our strength to deal with you, how long do you think we can last?"
Kou Zhong said: "Don't threaten us! Haven't you tried to deal with us with all your strength before? It just didn't succeed!"
□□ showed a resentful expression that seemed to pity his ignorance and sighed: "When we were in Dongdu, we did have the intention to kill you. We should only kill one of you, but we used rat-proof tactics. Even our master did not dare to take action casually due to various scruples.
Think about the reasons carefully!"
After a pause, he sighed quietly: "The reason why we want to deal with you is not only because of the 'Yanggong Treasure House', but also because we are afraid that you will side with Cihang Jingzhai. Now of course this worry has become unnecessary."
Xu Ziling snorted coldly: "Nonsense! Didn't you want to kill me earlier?"
□□ said frankly: "I do want to get rid of you. But it's not for the reasons you think. Does Ziling want to hear it?"
Kou Zhong was afraid that if they quarreled again and ruined everything, he replied: "Of course I want to die!"
Xu Ziling had no choice but to shut his mouth without comment.
There was an extremely gentle look in his eyes, and the emotions contained in them were as continuous as the waves lapping on the river bank. He said softly: "First of all, Zi Ling, you and Shi Feixuan have established a subtle relationship, which is of paramount importance to us." The second thing to avoid is that I am afraid that I will fall in love with you uncontrollably."
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling lost their voices at the same time: "What?"
Look - Xu Ziling's handsome face is flushed and his expression is extremely embarrassed. He said with a sweet smile! It's up to you to believe it or not."
The sound of hoofbeats gradually came from far away and came closer.
Brother Ku is finally here.
But Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling no longer have the confidence and assurance they had before.
