Thinking of their upcoming trip to Jiangdu to seek out Yu's culture and bad luck, the two devoted themselves to practicing martial arts.
The weather gradually turned colder, and when the first heavy snow fell, good news came.
Sui general Liu Wengong led 25,000 infantry and cavalrymen and marched east from Luoyang. He made an appointment with Pei Renji, who came from Hulao, to meet south of Luokou and prepared to destroy the Wagang army in one fell swoop.
Little did they know that Li Mihan had detected the enemy's situation, opened warehouses to help the people and win over people's hearts, and then waited until the nearby counties returned to their territory before he led his troops to fight with Zhai Rang.
Li Mi divided his elite troops into ten teams and led four teams to ambush in Hengling. Zhai Rang's six teams lined up on the east bank of Shizi River, a tributary of Luoshui River.
Liu Changgong's army arrived first. Seeing that there were few soldiers in Wagang, he thought that the enemy suffered heavy losses in the battle of Luokou. He did not wait for the soldiers to rest and eat, so he hurriedly crossed the river and attacked, forgetting the appointment with Pei Renji.
After the battle, Zhai Rang's troops were defeated and retreated.
Liu Changgong got the advantage, pursued one after another, and ambushed Li Mi for a flank attack. The already hungry and exhausted Liu army was immediately defeated, with numerous casualties, and Liu Changgong led the remaining troops to sneak back to Luoyang.
When Pei Renji learned that Liu Jun was defeated, he still dared to attack at this time. He retreated to Baihua Valley and defended himself, not daring to fight.
The Wagang Army gained even greater prestige.
Since this battle was planned by Li Mi, his reputation was at its peak.
There was even more joy in Xingyang City, with the sound of firecrackers going off non-stop.
It snowed heavily in the next few days. Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling became childlike and made snowmen in the garden for fun. Several pretty maids saw that they were having fun and boldly joined in.
The two of them had never played with a girl before, and they were even more delighted.
Kou Zhong and the pretty maidservants were jostling each other and making excuses, making a great deal of trouble.
One of the maidservants was named Chu Chu. She was very beautiful. She was only slightly less beautiful, but she had a sultry figure and was very charming. She couldn't help teasing Kou Zhong, which made Kou Zhong feel itchy. He looked up and said to Xu Ziling: "
This girl teases me so much that I can't help it. Anyway, Zhai Jiao doesn't mind if I seduce her maid. If I get her, and have a one-night stand, you won't object, right?"
Xu Ziling knew his character. If he wanted to get something, he would never give up until he got it. He whispered: "What if she has a child?"
Kou Zhong was stunned and said: "It can't be that easy! People have been married for many years, and many of them still don't have children."
Xu Ziling said: "You can think about braiding yourself! But the other party is a woman from a good family, and you must not start messing up and give up."
"bump!"
A snowball was thrown towards Kouzhong, making his whole face covered with snow.
Chu Chu and the other five pretty maids cheered: "I hit it! I hit it!"
Kou Zhong whispered in Xu Ziling's ear: "Brother is right, but you can also kiss your lips and touch your cheeks!"
After saying this, he opened his arms and shouted: "Whoever gets it from me will be given a kiss on the mouth as a punishment."
The pretty maids were immediately frightened and ran away.
Kou Zhong spotted Chu Chu and chased after her.
Seeing Kou Zhong and the girls laughing and chasing each other in the snow, Xu Ziling felt something in his heart.
That day in Yangzhou, when I was short of three meals, I never imagined that I would be able to play with the beautiful maids in Zhai Rang's mansion.
"bump!"
Xu Ziling was hit on the back of his head, and the ice and snow slid into his neck, making him feel cold.
With his current ears and eyes, it would be easy to evade and turn back, but that would be quite uninteresting.
Remembering what Kou Zhong said about "kissing and touching", my heart warmed up, and I turned around and chased after another beautiful maid.
The beautiful maid and Fendexiasheng jade cheeks fled deep into the forest intentionally or unintentionally.
Xu Ziling didn't realize it yet, and was about to catch up and try to imitate Kou Zhong to get some benefits, when a figure flashed, and Tu Shufang blocked the way, solemnly saying: "Big Dragon Head is back and wants to see you immediately."
The two of them jostled to Zhai Rang's living room in the inner courtyard. They saw that the doorkeepers were all strangers, and everyone's temples were bulging high. It was obvious at a glance that they were masters.
This was the first time they had set foot here. On the way, a scribe in his forties came up to him and said politely: "My Majesty, Wang Ruxin, has taken up the post of Sima. Please follow Wang. Mr. Tu can go back."
Uncle Tu Fang was slightly surprised. Wang Ruxin had already led the two of them towards Zhai Rang's living room.
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were no longer the young men who lacked experience in martial arts. After hearing and seeing, they found that the surroundings were heavily guarded. There were warriors on the sentry tower among the trees. They looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy. They couldn't help but feel strange.
Wang Ruxin led them to the open door of the inner hall, stopped and said, "The big dragon head is waiting for you. Please go in on your own."
The two secretly thought that it was inappropriate to discuss such a secret affair in the presence of others, so they ignored it and walked into the hall.
The big man guarding the door immediately closed the door behind them.
"bump!"
When the sound of the left and right doors closing behind them came, the two saw a tall, thin, middle-aged man with a straight beard, pacing back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back. When the door rang, they stopped and looked away.
Looking over at the two of them, lightning flashed across the sky, and Deng didn't appear to be injured at all.
This man was born with a good-looking appearance, but he had a hooked nose, which gave him a gloomy expression, giving people a very conceited feeling, and also gave people the impression of being selfish and ruthless.
His temples are gray and there are horizontal lines on his forehead, which seem to depict some difficult years in the past.
After the two of them bowed respectfully, Zhai gave in and said, "Have you seen me?"
Kou Zhong said hurriedly: "At that time, we were hiding on the beams and did not dare to watch. Also, the big dragon head came and went like the wind, so we couldn't see the big dragon head."
Zhai Rang moved his eyes out the window, staring at the garden under the winter snow, and said lightly: "Then how can you be sure that that person is me."
Xu Ziling said: "That's what I heard from Zu Junyan and the weirdo hiding in the box afterwards."
Zhai Rang said calmly: "Have you seen that weirdo?"
Kou Zhongxiao: "I only took a look at him. He was majestic and at least half a head taller than Zu Junyan. However, because he was wearing a mask, I didn't know what he looked like."
Zhai Rangju was shocked and said coldly: "What does his voice sound like?"
Kou Zhong replied: "It's very soft and pleasant, and there seems to be a lingering sound when I finish speaking."
Zhai Rang's chest rose and fell sharply for a few times. He was silent for a long time before he groaned: "Whose family and sect are you two from? Why are your internal skills so weird that you were able to hide them from that weirdo and me?"
Kou Zhong said happily: "It turns out that the person I met that day was really a big dragon head. The big dragon head is so powerful, and that weirdo even said he had hurt you!"
It turns out he was just trying to boost his popularity."
Zhai Rang said coldly: "You haven't answered my question yet."
Xu Ziling said: "Our martial arts were taught by my mother, but my mother is dead."
Zhai Rang said solemnly: "Okay!"
The two of them were shocked. How could he still applaud when he heard that his mother was dead?
At this moment, Zhai Rang moved, and in the blink of an eye he was in front of the two of them, his sleeves raised at the same time.
The two of them never imagined that he would launch a surprise attack because of his status. They saw his two palms protruding from his sleeves, and when the astonishing energy came from his body, it was too late to block him.
The two of them exclaimed in unison and flew back.
"Pop!"
Zhai Rang pressed two palms on their chests respectively.
A strong and unstoppable energy penetrated the chest, and Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling spurted blood from their mouths at the same time. They flew upside down from the ground. Their backs hit the left and right walls beside the door with two "crushing" sounds, and then slid to the ground.
.
The two of them were so painful that their internal organs were about to be broken, their energy and blood were boiling, and they no longer had the strength to resist.
Unexpectedly, Zhai Rang was more surprised than the two of them. He thought he could send them home with one palm, but when he hit the opponent's chest, he only felt two counter-shock forces, one cold and one hot, coming from their chests.
Although most of his strength was removed, it still invaded his body, making him so tired that he had to use his energy to resolve it.
Although Kou Zhong was completely exhausted, he could still shout: "You...what are you doing?"
Zhai Rang's eyes flashed fiercely and said: "Shut up! I can only blame you for knowing things you shouldn't know."
He took steps toward the two of them.
Xu Ziling rolled over, hugged Kou Zhong and said, "If you want to die, let's die together!"
Kou Zhongbi was so angry that he hugged Xu Ziling and whispered in his ear: "Quick Luck! I'll lure him away."
Zhai Rang came to the two of them at this time, suddenly coughed dryly, and sneered in a hoarse voice: "Let Mr. Zhai fulfill your wish!"
The two of them were secretly calling me to die, and Zhai Rang's palm had already slapped the two of them on their heavenly spirit caps.
There was a sudden shock in his head, and his vision went dark, but he woke up again.
Just when I was wondering whether I had reached the underworld, I saw that I was still sitting on the floor of the hall, everything was moving, but Zhai Rang was lying on top of the two of them, his face was green and his lips were black, and his whole body was shaking.
The two of them were so clever. They immediately realized that Zhai Rang had indeed suffered serious internal injuries, but they just suppressed it and pretended as if nothing had happened.
In order to kill two people, he used his true energy indiscriminately, causing internal injuries to burst out, making him look like this useless person. Kou Zhong pushed Zhai Rang to the ground, caressed his chest and groaned: "This guy's palm power is really powerful, Xiaoling, what are you doing?"
Already."
Xu Ziling still sat down on the ground, rubbed his chest and said, "Are there only people in this world who repay kindness with enmity? Both father and daughter are like that."
Kou Zhong said: "It's important to escape now. Let's do some exercises to heal our injuries first, oh!" Then he shuddered.
Xu Ziling smiled bitterly and said, "You are terribly cold, but I am unbearably hot. My internal organs feel like they are on fire."
However, the two of them were shocked at the same time. If they realized something, they looked at each other with great joy.
Kou Zhong came over, raised his palms and said, "You put the true energy into my palm from your right palm, and I will send the true energy from my right palm into your body, ha! This is our original healing method."
Xu Ziling was still hesitant, and he quickly followed his instructions and moved his palms against each other, moving Qi and Qi. It was very painful and difficult at the beginning, and he would spit out blood from time to time, but soon the cold and heat flowed together, circulating in their bodies week after week, without stopping.
Little did he know that this blend of cold and heat actually saved their lives.
It turns out that although the two of them accidentally learned the qi movement method of one of the images in "The Secret of Immortality", they both became cold and dry.
In the early stages, there is no problem. But as the Qi becomes fuller, it gets closer and closer to the danger of too much is too little. The final outcome is bound to be a madness. People with a cold side will freeze their meridians and die, while those with a hot side will suffer from menstruation.
Eternally explode and die.
So this time, at the critical moment of life and death, the two of them used their own Qi to heal each other's injuries. Since their Qi came from the same source, if they had been practicing separately, they now merged into one, which not only greatly accelerated the progress of their practice.
, and also developed magical skills that even Guangchengzi, who created "The Secret of Immortality", could not dream of.
If it were someone else, even if they were more talented than the two of them, it would take less than ten or eight years to achieve the last two images in "The Secret of Immortality" and they would not be able to bear fruit.
It happened that the two of them had been practicing separately and didn't know how to mix the cold and heat. Instead, they practiced extremely well. Now that they have merged with each other, it would have been as if they had practiced the heat for two more years.
It was only at this moment that the two people's "Secret Technique of Immortality" had truly reached the level of small success, without any bias.
I don't know how long it took, but the pain of both of them disappeared. Although they were slightly weak due to blood loss, their spirits were extremely strong, and their senses and brains were much more alert than before.
Zhai Rang was still lying on the ground, but he was no longer trembling and his face looked better than before.
Kou Zhong retracted his palms and whispered: "Should we kill this ungrateful guy first?"
Xu Ziling sighed and said, "Sister Su will never forgive us, hey! Your anger makes me so cold, so strange! Why is it that my Tianling Cap seems to have been opened, and there is a cold current flowing in, and the tip of my tongue
So sweet."
Kou Zhong said with a smile: "My Yongquan point is hot. Come on! Get up quickly. Let's go find Sister Su."
Xu Ziling stood up with him, looked at Zhai Rang on the ground warily, and whispered: "There are so many people outside, how can we braid it well?"
Kou Zhong said: "It seems that they don't know what happened to Xiang, so they have to adapt accordingly." Xu Ziling had no choice but to take the risk and follow him out of the door.
Wang Ruxin was waiting outside the door. When he saw the two people coming out, they looked very strange and became speechless.
Seeing his expression, the two knew that he had known that Zhai Rang would kill them and silence them. So now that they saw that they could come out alive, they became like this ridiculous.
Kou Zhong put on a smile, pointed to his head, and said: "After listening to our story, the big dragon head realized that he had misunderstood. It also brought him new troubles, so he asked us to come out and he wanted to think quietly.
He ordered no one to go in and interrupt his train of thought."
This is exactly what Kou Zhong was clever about, the method he used against Wang Ruxin, an insider.
Xu Ziling gently closed the door, and when Wang Ruxin still didn't know what to do, he chased Kou Zhong behind him.
Stepping out of the inner courtyard, the two of them hurried towards Zhai Jiao's boudoir.
Kou Zhong said: "It is best to leave secretly with Sister Su and go to Daiqingyuan immediately to find the Peipei that Yiqi Shan mentioned. Otherwise, if you are even half a step too late, your body may be dismembered."
Xu Ziling was surprisingly calm and whispered: "I feel that my skill has doubled. Maybe I can jump over the city wall, but with Sister Su, I am not sure. To be honest, I still don't believe that Yiqi Mountain is really loyal."
Kou Zhong said: "We are in a hurry to go to the field. We will use Yiqi Mountain to cross the bridge first. We will decide whether to draw the board after crossing the bridge."
The two of them came to the gate of Zhai Jiao's courtyard at this time, and one of the four generals guarding the gate shouted: "Did Miss call you here?"
Kou Zhong said with a bitter face: "If it weren't for her order, would you go to see her?"
Everyone will laugh at the same time.
The two of them walked in with great swagger. Just as the beautiful maid Chu Chu came out of the house, Kou Zhong pulled her sleeves and smiled:
"Hello, beauty, where is Sister Su?"
Chu Chufen's face turned slightly red, and she gave him a fierce look and said, "You're not here to find me, how could I know?"
She broke away from his entanglement and walked a few steps before looking back and saying with a sweet smile: "Sister Su is waiting for Miss Su! You idiot!" After saying that, she covered her mouth with her sleeves and went away gracefully.
Seeing that Kou Zhong was still dazed at this moment, Xu Ziling pulled him hard, and Kou Zhong woke up and followed him to the door.
Before he could see anyone, Zhai Jiao's ugly voice came out and said angrily: "What the hell are you doing? You can't even say a few words to show off your two little devils. Didn't I tell him the matter? How could he?"
I should have been there to listen."
Kou Zhong rolled his eyes, walked into the hall, bowed his head and said: "The big dragon head asked the lady to come and see him, and he said he had a gift for the lady!"
Even Xu Ziling had to admire Kou Zhong's quick wit.
Zhai Jiao was sitting in a chair losing her temper to Su Su, who was standing by blankly. When she heard the words "Ah!" she stood up, strode forward, passed between the two of them, and hurried out of the door.
The two of them were overjoyed and rushed forward, picking up the startled Susu from both sides.
Kou Zhong said anxiously: "Don't ask, if we don't leave here now, I'm afraid we will never have a chance."
Su Su's expression suddenly changed drastically, and she looked straight at the door.
The two of them turned their heads in a hurry, and immediately lost their minds and screamed in their hearts.
