Zhai Rang stood alone in the middle of the door, looking at Pu and the others coldly.
Su Su also felt that Zhai Rang was unusual and said in a trembling voice: "Master!"
The two of them let go of Susu, stood in front of her, and prepared to fight.
Zhai Rang's expression returned to normal, but he looked as if he had aged for several years. He put his hands behind his back and slowly moved to a set of chairs, sat down, and said softly: "Susu, come in, I want to be with you two." Brother, say a few words."
Kou Zhong pulled Su Su, who was about to leave as ordered, and said in a deep voice, "How do I know you didn't send someone to wait for Sister Su behind?"
Seeing that Kou Zhong was so rude to her master, Su Su was so frightened that her face turned pale.
Zhai Rang said: "You just give me an order, do you think you will still survive? Why do you think so?"
Susu begged him in a low voice: "Listen to the master!"
Shaking off Kou Zhong's hand, he staggered back inside.
The two exchanged glances and sat down opposite Zhai Rang.
Zhai Rang looked at the two of them intently and suddenly asked: "Who is your mother?"
Xu Ziling gave up and responded coldly: "This is our secret."
Zhai Rang flashed an angry look first, and then said as if he was frustrated: "Forget it! Just now you had the chance but you didn't kill me. No matter how shameless I am, I, Zhai Rang, can't kill me a second time. Alas! I thought earlier Killing people and silencing them is really a last resort. That’s all! Everything is over. I wanted to kill you and my injuries recurred. It is God who punishes me for repaying kindness with evil, and I bring it upon myself!"
Seeing the once-all-powerful figure in such a desperate state, both of them were puzzled.
Xu Ziling said: "Da Longtou returned with a great victory. Even if the people of Zu Junyan colluded with outsiders, didn't Da Longtou give an order and still make the heads of those traitors fall to the ground?"
Zhai Rang shook his head and sighed, and said slowly: "The situation inside is really unbearable to deal with outsiders. Now Zhai has only one request, I hope you two can stay here for ten more days. After ten days, I will send someone to send you and Su Su away." ."
Zhai Jiao's voice sounded at the door: "Dad! You said you wanted to see your daughter again, why did you sneak here?"
Zhai Rang looked at Wang Ruxin, who was walking behind Zhai Jiao, and said, "Inform the secret official immediately that I will hold an emergency meeting at Longtou Mansion."
Everyone was shocked.
Xu Ziling was lying on the bed, and Kou Zhongze was pacing in the room, both frowning and wondering. Why did Zhai Rang want to kill them to silence them?
Logically he would only be grateful to them for providing him with so much useful information.
Xu Ziling patted the bed and said, "It must be like this. The instigator behind Zu Junyan is Li Mi. That's why Mr. Zhai has such a headache."
Kou Zhong sat on the edge of the bed and muttered: "But he doesn't have to kill us. The guy who plotted against Lao Zhai had to wear a mask and hide in the box to do it. He was naturally afraid that Lao Zhai would recognize him. With Lao Zhai With his skills, there are not many people who are qualified to plot against him, so who could it be?"
The two of them were shocked at the same time and looked at each other.
Kou Zhong shrugged and said, "Have you thought of the person in my heart?"
Xu Ziling sat up, with a look of horror in his eyes, and whispered: "It must be Li Mi!"
Kou Zhong took a deep breath and said: "It's too bad this time. Lao Zhai summoned Li Mi to a meeting, and it was clear that he wanted to reveal the last trump card. Wouldn't it affect us and Sister Su? In terms of conspiracy skills, Lao Zhai is no match for Li Mi, especially Now he's so injured that we can't even kill him."
Xu Ziling said: "It's best to leave as soon as possible, but I know that Sister Su would listen to Lao Zhai and stay for ten days before leaving."
Kou Zhong said: "Why don't we go to Daiqingyuan first to check it out? It will be much easier to escape then, and if we stay for ten more days, we can hope to know what is going on?"
Xu Ziling said: "But now there are a lot of followers like Lao Zhai here, and it's very inconvenient to get in and out."
Kou Zhong said: "Lao Zhai never said we were not allowed to go shopping, so we walked through the main entrance in a big way to test their reaction."
Xu Ziling jumped out of bed, and when he was about to leave, there was a knock on the door of Kou Zhong's room next door.
Kou Zhong whispered: "Who is looking for me? It's so late."
Not long after, it was Xu Ziling's turn to knock on the door, and then a delicate voice said: "Kou Zhong! Kou Zhong!"
Kou Zhong was stunned and said: "It's Chu Chu! How bad!" He jumped up, took three steps at a time and opened the door.
When Chu Chu saw Kou Zhong, she was immediately happy. She glanced over Kou Zhong's broad shoulders, glanced at Xu Ziling, reached out and pulled Kou Zhong's sleeves, and pulled him out.
After a while, Kou Zhong came back with a blushing face, wiped his mouth and said with a sigh: "She is so enthusiastic, and she wants to drag me into the room. It must not be her first time, otherwise she wouldn't be able to teach her as well as she did just now."
Xu Ziling said in shock: "Did you really do it like this?"
Kou Zhong said angrily: "Fuck you! Just kiss on the lips and caress the shoulders! Business is important, let's set off!"
The two of them left the courtyard of the accommodation side by side and walked towards the gate.
There was feather-like fine snow floating in the sky, and there was no light from the stars and the moon. There was a feeling of tranquility that was so thick that it couldn't be dissolved. I met several generals along the way, but none of them stopped them.
When we arrived at the main square at the main entrance, Tu Shufang caught up from behind and asked, "Where are you going?"
Kou Zhong replied: "I'm so bored that I want to go out for a walk!"
Tu Shufang kindly put his arm around the shoulders of the two of them, walked them through the gate, came to the street, and asked in a low voice: "What happened when I saw the big dragon head today?"
Neither of them knew how to answer him and were speechless for a moment.
There were very few pedestrians on the street, and the only people they bumped into were passers-by hurriedly shivering in the cold wind. The heavy steps of the three of them were particularly noticeable, and there was a sense of slowness that made people feel sluggish.
Tu Shufang sighed: "Big Dragon Head is really injured, right?"
The two nodded blankly.
Tu Shufang asked again: "Did Da Longtou tell me who the person who attacked him was?"
Kou Zhong shook his head and said, "He didn't say it, but we guessed it was Li Mi."
Uncle Tu Fang Ju was shocked and silent.
Xu Ziling looked around, and Uncle Tu said forcefully: "Don't look at it. I guarantee that no one will dare to follow you. Shen Luoyan doesn't have the courage yet."
Kou Zhong was surprised and said, "When did that woman come back?"
Uncle Tu Li said: "I just came back yesterday."
He added: "I have long suspected that it was Li Mi who did it. His biggest concern is Da Longtou's martial arts. The past six months must have been difficult for Da Longtou. Not only did he have to pretend that he was not injured, but he also had to fight all over the country. But if this were not the case, Li Mi would have had a long time ago.
If you rebel, you will really lose yourself to Da Longtou."
Kou Zhong took the opportunity and asked: "Now Da Longtou must be sure that the person who hurt him is Li Mi. If he calls him back for a meeting to ridicule him, should he be killed?"
Tu Shufang shook his head and said, "Ever since they defeated Zhang Xutuo, they have all been on guard against each other. Unless there is a head-on conflict, no one will be taken advantage of by the other. Alas! Every time Li Mi wins a battle, the status of Da Longtou will be shaken.
, putting us in a completely beaten situation. Most of the generals secretly expressed their loyalty to Li Mi. Now that the big dragon is injured, we have no capital to fight against Li Mi."
Xu Ziling said: "Then why don't you advise Da Longtou to leave and build another foundation elsewhere, rather than waiting here for someone to take over you?"
Tu Shufang stopped and said with a wry smile: "This matter must be decided by the big leader. We can only act according to orders. I want to go back. You can't come back too late at night."
He waved and went.
The two of them felt their hearts pounding after hearing this, and walked in the direction of Daiqingyuan in a daze.
Kou Zhong raised his face, letting the snowflakes fall on his face, feeling the cold feeling, and sighed: "The great cause of conquering the world has just begun, and there is internal strife in the Wagang army. It seems that the Wagang army is not striving for greatness."
material."
Xu Ziling sighed with emotion: "Everyone is talking about fighting for the world, but naturally everyone is fighting for it, big fights, big fights, small fights.
Mr. Zhong, do you still want to join the fight with Qu?"
Kou Zhong cheered up and said: "If Li Mi, a born traitor like my father, gets a big blow, then all the people will suffer. How about we become the emperor?"
Xu Ziling muttered: "There can only be one emperor. You should be the one. I have no interest in it."
Kou Zhong laughed, looked up at the huge courtyard and golden paint signboard of Shandaiqing Courtyard, and said happily: "We're here!"
Xu Ziling stopped him and asked, "Should I go in and tell people that I'm looking for Peipei?"
Kou Zhong said in astonishment: "If you don't look for Peipei, who can you look for?"
Xu Ziling said: "This is Shen Luoyan's lair. Although she doesn't dare to send people to follow us blatantly, she will never let us wander around without paying attention. If she sends people to check afterward, she will find that we were the first
The first time I came here, I specified that I was looking for Peipei, as if I were an old friend, so it would be strange if I didn't become suspicious from this."
Kou Zhong slapped his forehead and said, "You are so considerate, so what should I do? Should I not go?"
Xu Ziling said: "I still have to go, but I have to be introduced by the madam herself. Then we can adapt accordingly!"
Kou Zhong and Fen said: "Don't let Xiang Xiang lose your virginity because of confusion. The fire I stoked for Chu Chu has not been extinguished yet!"
Amidst laughter, the two of them walked into Dai Qing Courtyard in a swaggering manner.
When the gatekeeper saw the emblem of Longtou Mansion embroidered on their outer robes, he dared to neglect them. He bowed and bowed to welcome them into the reception hall and handed them over to the Madam to greet them.
Although the two of them had never enjoyed the tenderness inside a brothel, they were familiar with the first few steps. They first offered rewards before sitting down on a set of chairs.
The lobby was noisy, with several pretty maids shuttled back and forth among six or seven groups of guests, serving them attentively, making fun and laughing, and it was full of spring.
Waiting on them was a madam named Aunt Lan, a middle-aged lady who was still very pretty. Just by looking at her appearance, one could tell that the Baling Gang was running a first-class brothel.
When Aunt Lan saw that the two men were handsome, Xu Ziling was elegant and unrestrained, and Kou Zhong was so majestic, it was the first time she met such talents. Her beautiful eyes almost burst into flames of desire, and her smiling face was like a flower and she said: "Have you two young masters just surrendered to the big dragon head and followed him?"
Return victoriously, otherwise why would you be here for the first time tonight!"
Kou Zhong took the tea offered by the pretty maid and smiled happily: "Everything has its first time. This is the first time I met such a charming beauty as Aunt Lan. We might have been husband and wife in our previous life."
Miles!"
After hearing this, Aunt Lan covered her mouth and smiled sweetly, her branches trembling wildly and said: "Young master really knows how to coax people, be careful that I ignore the complaints of my daughters and come here to pester you to death!"
Xu Ziling was amused when he saw Kou Zhong pretending to be a seasoned expert in flowers and looked on without saying a word.
Aunt Lan was willing to let him go. She glanced at him with her beautiful eyes and said with charming eyes: "Master Xu is much quieter than you, but he still makes me confused and fascinated."
As Kou Zhong slumped in the chair, Hua Bucharin muttered in a fascinated voice: "It's natural to be obsessed with love. If you let this kid come to your bed, do you think he can still pretend to be such a sanctimonious and sour scholar?"
Seeing Xu Ziling's blushing face, Aunt Lan burst into laughter. She reached over and patted Koo Zhong's thigh, gasping:
"Young Master Kou is like this now. Will he kill someone when he gets to bed?"
Kou Zhong smiled bitterly in his heart. If he really got to the bed, he would have no idea how to proceed. Of course, he would still pretend to be in love on the surface. He patted the armrest and said, "Who are the most popular girls here?"
Aunt Lan happily said: "The most valuable ones have all been booked, but seeing that they are two young masters, the slave family made an exception and arranged for them to come for a tour. Let's meet first and then make an appointment. What will happen?"
Xu Ziling smiled and said, "Can you read their names first and hear them?"
Aunt Lan casually mentioned five or six names, including Cui'er and Qing'er, but Peipei was not included.
Kou Zhong rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Except Aunt Lan, who can accompany us to have fun tonight?"
Aunt Lan gave him a stern look and said charmingly: "Master Kou teases me again, will I let you go?" She added a list of names, but Peipei was still not included.
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling felt terrible headaches, and then they regretted not asking Xiangyushan for more information. But at this time, they were riding a tiger and couldn't get off.
In the past, the two of them were attracted to a brothel, but now they are in a crisis-ridden moment. They are both worried and eager to escape from danger, and they feel like leaning against the red and the green.
But it is unreasonable to turn around and leave like this; and if you continue to ask, it will definitely arouse people's suspicions. Normally, ideally, the entire brothel will not be filled with people from the Baling Gang. If you are not careful, it will be revealed. secret.
Suddenly someone came to Aunt Lan's side, leaned over and spoke a few words in her ear.
After the man left, Aunt Lan's face became a little unnatural, and she forced a smile and said: "I just have time to go up to the house and the room is free. It would be better if I took the two young masters there first, rather than being crowded here."
Both of them knew that they had an affair, and secretly thought that "Pepe" might have known that they were coming, so they happily followed her up the stairs.
The door of the room was open, and what came into view was Shen Luoyan sitting in the room, welcoming them with a charming smile.
Aunt Lan whispered: "The slaves are just following orders. Please forgive me, sir."
The two of them had cold water poured on their heads and cried out that they were unlucky.
After Kou Zhong carefully observed that there seemed to be no ambush except for the maidservant, he walked in proudly and sat down opposite her. Xu Ziling had no choice but to sit next to him.
After the maid left, Kou Zhong looked at her sideways and asked, "Are you going to stay with me or him tonight?"
Shen Luoyan said calmly: "Of course both of them are accompanying me, but they are limited to drinking and talking in this wing."
Tonight, she put on her white plain clothes, and outside the window behind her, there was fine snow falling. Both of them found it difficult to be hostile to her, but they also knew that disaster could be imminent at every turn. This feeling really made people feel conflicted.
Xu Ziling muttered: "If you have anything to say, please tell me quickly. The young master has to go home and sleep."
Shen Luoyan raised his glass and said happily: "It is a joyful thing in life to have a long night and talk over wine. Let Luoyan propose a toast to you two first."
Kou Zhong said with a smile: "How do you know if these wines have drugged you?"
Shen Luoyan put down his wine glass angrily and said with a smile: "If you want to give me the medicine, I won't show up! I have not made any progress. Most of the concubines from Longtou Mansion who came from Yang Guangxing Palace are not going to have fun, but they want to come here."
Come spend money to buy a smile, are all men as mean as you?"
Kou Zhong retorted: "There are people who receive kindness from others and don't think about repaying it. They just think about how to murder the benefactor. Are those people born with a bad heart?"
Shen Luoyan chuckled and said, "That's a good scolding! But now I'm here to repay my kindness. Which one of your young masters will Luoyan commit to marry?"
Xu Ziling said displeased: "Here we go again! If it happens again, we will leave immediately."
Shen Luoyan said: "Master Xu, please don't be angry. There are rumors in the world recently that Yu Wen Wudi was killed by you so much that you fled in panic. If this continues, maybe one day you will be able to catch up with Ba Fenghan and the Shadow Assassin who are now at their peak."
-Where's Yang Xuyan?"
When the two heard the name of Ba Fenghan and the name of the "Shadow Assassin", they both felt their hearts trembling, and they vaguely felt that these two people would one day become their rivals.
Shen Luoyan carefully observed their expressions and said in surprise: "It turns out that the rumors are not false. From this point of view, it is indeed you who used your own kung fu to force the medicine out of your body. No wonder there was a glimmer of sweat on your forehead at that time."
Kou Zhong smiled and said: "You have nothing to do with me. To make a long story short, young master, I still want to have fun."
Shen Luoyan smiled and said: "Then let me answer Luoyan's question first. Among all the heroes today, who can be as good as Mi Gong?"
Xu Ziling blurted out: "What about Li Clan?"
Shen Luoyan said disdainfully: "Among the four masters, in terms of martial arts, Li Yuan can only be ranked at the bottom; in terms of talent, he is also the first from the bottom. He is timid and fearful, indecisive, and more like you who are greedy for beauty;
Although he knew it was a crime of beheading, he still secretly accepted the two beauties selected by Pei Ji, the eunuch of Jinyang Palace, from among the maids originally owned by Yang Guang. How can such people achieve great things? Your vision is not so bad, right?
?"
The two of them didn't know that Li Yuan was such a person, but just seeing how Li Shimin tried every means to force him to rebel, they knew that even if Shen Luoyan said it was wrong, it was not far off.
Shen Luoyan said proudly: "As for your father Du Fuwei, he is just a gangster. He is more than enough to fight for territory in the world, but how about fighting for the world? When will it be his turn?"
After a pause, he continued: "Now the secret warehouse is open to benefit the people, and it is also spread to the world, counting Yang Guang's ten crimes. The hearts of the world are all in the same direction, and those who are aware of current affairs should know who is the true master of fate."
Xu Ziling sneered and said, "You talk about Li Mi all the time. Where do you put the big leader?"
Shen Luoyan calmed down and said: "You can only blame yourself for being confused. Today Duke Zhai has officially informed me that he will inform Duke Mi that he will abdicate in favor of someone worthy of his post. The matter will be announced as soon as all the generals gather. So I kept my mouth shut.
They say it’s secret, so what’s the problem?”
The two of them looked at each other in shock. Then they realized that Zhai Rang had publicly admitted defeat and gave up his position as the leader of the Wagang Army. They immediately felt relieved.
A fight should be stopped.
Shen Luoyan's pretty eyes lit up, flashing with an unfathomable and profound light.
Kou Zhong was still unconvinced and said: "What about the other three clans? Are they willing to sit back and watch the world fall into the hands of your Wagang army?"
Shen Luoyan was relieved: "The power of the Song Dynasty is in the south, and it can only rely on the power of the north to achieve things, so it can be ignored. The Dugu clan has a deep relationship with the royal family, and it has no power to compete in the world. Only the Yuwen clan has many talents, so it can be ignored
You can achieve something. But after being a lackey for so many years, enemies are everywhere. If Yang Guang dies, the Yuwen Clan will only become the target of public criticism. No matter how powerful they are, they can't cope with it. Hee! You are unwilling to let Yu Wenhuaji go. Is Luoyan right?
?"
The two of them were speechless by her words.
This woman knew the situation well, so it was no wonder that she was reused by Li Mi.
Xu Ziling said: "What about Guo Zihe, Liu Wuzhou, and Liang Shidu? They all have Turks backing them. I'm afraid your secret master is no match for Bi Xuan!"
Shen Luoyan said calmly: "That happens to be their biggest weakness. Frankly speaking, do you want the Turks' claws to extend into the Central Plains? Mi Gong often said that those who go against people's hearts will be defeated, and Yang Guang is the best example."
Kou Zhong was about to speak but stopped, and finally did not say anything.
Shen Luoyan smiled and said: "Are you talking about Dou Jiande, Wang Bo, or Shen Faxing, Li Zitong, Xu Yuanlang and others? Among the heroes, only our Wagang Army holds on to the throat of the canal and the Yellow River, and forces the east capital from the west. , facing Jiangdu to the east, no one can compete with us based on the geographical situation alone."
Kou Zhong couldn't resist her and sighed: "In the final analysis, you want to tell us the secret of Yang Gong's treasure. That's good. You can marry one of us, and the treasure can be given to you." The secret public is flattering me."
Seeing that Shen Luoyan couldn't persuade the two of them despite all his efforts, Shen Luoyan said angrily: "Go to hell with your poor-tongued brat. See if I don't hook your tongue out."
The two of them didn't expect that she, who had always been gentle and gentle, would also use vulgar words like them, and they were overjoyed.
Shen Luoyan finally got angry, stood up and said, "This is called toasting without eating and being fined with wine. If you can leave Xingyang unscathed, I, Shen Luoyan, will..."
The two exchanged glances and loudly continued: "I will marry you two brats at the same time."
Shen Luoyan was stunned for a moment, then returned to his true self, smiling sweetly: "Just do it!"
Listening to her retreating footsteps, both of them felt numb.
Why doesn't she deal with them immediately? Is there a bigger conspiracy brewing?
