Volume 5 Chapter 4 Stealing the Dragon and Turning the Phoenix
After Xu Ziling left, Kou Zhong focused his attention on the front yard. If there was any slight movement, he would immediately meow like a cat to notify Xu Ziling to escape.
Seeing Xu Ziling confidently push the door open and enter the house, Kou Zhong also felt that this was easy and relaxing, and secretly thought that when he escaped tomorrow, he could easily steal the list and steal it for the second time, so that Shen Luoyan would still have to worry.
"This kind of ruthless and unrighteous woman, even if she died, he would not even sigh for her. He couldn't help but think of Li Xiuning again. He found that her impression in his heart was much diluted, and she no longer had the deep feeling of haunting her in his dreams. .At this moment, a powerful sound of fighting suddenly came from the small building. Kou Zhong was startled, and without caring about exposing his hiding place, he raised his knife and rushed towards the small building. "Bang!"
Then there was the sound of weapons falling to the ground.
Xu Ziling's back smashed into the large window of Shen Luoyan's boudoir, and he fell down with a pool of blood.
Kou Zhong instantly remembered what Xu Ziling had said.
"If Xu Ziling is injured, can Kou Zhong still maintain the state of mind of Jing Zhongyue?"
A black shadow flew out as quickly as a ghost, chasing Xu Ziling, who was falling rapidly, and slashed into the void with one palm, trying to kill him.
Kou Zhong forced himself not to think about anything that happened to Xu Ziling. He suddenly gathered his mind and threw the big knife in his hand. At the same time, he swept across Xu Ziling at full speed and shouted "There is a thief!" This shows Kou Zhong's intelligence. Extremely high.
We must know that since the opponent was able to severely injure Xu Ziling and fall from the building in such a short period of time, he and Kou Zhong could not stop him even if he walked away. The only way was to alarm Shen Luoyan and the others and teach this unpredictable enemy to be cautious.
Of course, this person could also be Shen Luoyan's ambush in the building, but judging from his fear of being discovered, this possibility is unlikely.
In the blink of an eye, Kou Zhong formulated a strategy with the sole purpose of saving Xu Ziling's life.
The man obviously didn't expect that Kou Zhong would come out of nowhere, because with his amazing hearing, any movement in the garden should be hidden from him, but it was not until Kou Zhong shot the sword that he was surprised.
This was also the reason why he had murderous intentions towards Xu Ziling.
When Xu Ziling pushed open the door and entered the building, he had a feeling and realized that given time, this boy would definitely be in trouble.
He himself was not narrow-minded or jealous of talents, but he just misunderstood that Xu Ziling was someone from Shen Luoyan's side, so he decided to kill Xu Ziling at all costs.
This person is none other than the world-famous "Shadow Assassin" Yang Xuyan. This time he was hiding in Shen Luoyan's boudoir, with the purpose of assassinating Shen Luoyan, so as to make a preemptive blow for the Sui army to attack the lair of the Wagang army. However, he actually changed the target of his assassination after seeing Xu Ziling's profound attainments, which shows how highly he valued Xu Ziling.
The long knife stabbed directly under his left rib with thunderous lightning.
The cold energy radiated from the blade completely enveloped him before it reached his body.
With Yang Xuyan's ability, he had to postpone the brutal killing of Xu Ziling and deal with it with all his strength.
With a strong boost of energy, he suddenly changed his body skills in the air, and actually caught a long sword.
At this time, Kou Zhong had already hugged Xu Ziling before he fell to the ground.
Yang Xuyan snorted coldly, and threw the flying knife in the same manner, directly hitting Kou Zhong's back.
Its strength is so strong that it is believed to be able to penetrate two people's bodies at the same time.
Without thinking, Kou Zhong exerted force on his toes, holding Xu Ziling, who was filled with blood and fell into a coma, and rolled into the nearby grass, avoiding the long knife that was shot by electricity by just a hair.
Yang Xuyan was about to continue his pursuit, but the sound of clothes flying through the air was heard all around. He thought to himself that it would be difficult to kill Kou Zhong in one or two moves, so he sighed, spread out his body skills, and rose into the sky.
Kou Zhong hugged Xu Ziling and rolled out from the other side of the grass. When he jumped to his feet, he was immediately faced with the most difficult decision in his life.
If he rushed back to the woodshed where Su Su was, he would not be able to escape the eyes and ears of everyone, and Xu Ziling would be seriously injured and fatally injured because he could not receive medical treatment.
But if she escapes immediately, Susu will be left alone and helpless, and in danger of being discovered by the enemy at every turn.
What should he do?
Shen Luoyan's scolding sounded from high up: "Who dares to come and cause trouble?"
Then there was a series of sounds of weapons clashing and miserable grunts!
Kou Zhong was so painful that he almost cried. He gritted his teeth, hugged Xu Ziling, and rushed toward the outer wall in front of him. Screams immediately sounded from behind, but he couldn't care anymore.
Kou Zhong tore open Xu Ziling's coat and saw the pierced roster.
This was a storage room in the backyard of a relatively large residential house near Shen Luoyan Manor. After evading the pursuers, Kou Zhong took Xu Ziling to hide here.
Kou Zhong secretly called it a fluke. If this list hadn't blocked the sharp force of the opponent's sword, Xu Ziling would have died long ago.
Xu Ziling lay on his back on the grass, his eyes closed tightly, and his face was as pale as death, but his breathing was surprisingly even and slow, without any rush or difficulty.
Kou Zhong put the roster aside, tore open his inner garment, and examined it carefully. He found that the wound had been glued together and no blood was oozing out.
After heaving a sigh of relief, Kou Zhong pressed Xu Ziling's palms and silently injected the true energy into Xu Ziling's body, hoping to help him heal his injuries.
I don't know how much time passed, but Xu Ziling let out a breath, woke up, and the color returned to his face.
Kou Zhong was so happy that he couldn't help but burst into tears. He cried out sadly: "Xiao Ling! Xiao Ling! You scared me to death!" Xu Ziling opened his eyes and said in shock: "What kind of place is this?"
Kou Zhong hurriedly explained, but Xu Ziling changed his expression and said, "How could you leave Sister Su there alone?"
Kou Zhong said sadly: "I did this because I had no choice. Don't worry! You rest here for a while while I go to fetch Sister Su."
Xu Ziling said displeasedly: "Why don't you go quickly? Sister Su is so timid. It scares her."
Kou Zhong reached out and patted Xu Ziling's cheek, then used to touch the long knife on his back. Of course, he only found an empty sheath, and then he remembered that there was no protective treasure.
When he was about to leave, Xu Ziling called him back, the blood drained from his face and said, "Don't go!" Kou Zhong was stunned.
Xu Ziling sighed: "With Shen Luoyan's shrewdness, he knew from the short halberd I left in the building that it was us who were causing trouble, and seeing that we were the only two people who escaped, how could he not guess where Sister Su was?" Nearby. So Sister Su is now 10% in her hands."
Kou Zhong said dejectedly: "Then what should we do?" Xu Ziling sat up with difficulty and said: "If you continue to help me with my luck, at dawn, we will go to Shen Luoyan together to rescue Sister Su."
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The door of Shenluo Yanzhuang Courtyard was knocked loudly by the copper ring.
Then the voice of Kou Zhong said: "My dear wife, Luoyan, my husband, Master Zhong, is back!" After a while, the door of Shen's mansion was opened, and surprisingly, only Shen Luoyan was standing there, her jade face as cold as ice and snow, staring fiercely and smiling. Kou Zhong.
Of course Kou Zhong knew that others had laid a dragnet to make it difficult for him to fly.
Shen Luoyan said coldly: "Hand over the roster first, and then we can talk about other things."
With just this sentence, Kou Zhong knew that Su Suguo had fallen into Shen Luoyan's hands, otherwise how could he be so sure that the roster was in their hands.
Kou Zhong shook his head and sighed: "If Xiaoling hadn't blocked that guy's sword last night for you, you would have died a long time ago, beauty. Now you are not polite when you meet me. Alas! There are so many beautiful people like you, but people like you are so beautiful." Those who are so ruthless and unjust must be unprecedented!" Shen Luoyan returned to his true colors and said with a smile: "I really can't help you two little devils, but you actually know how to hide here with me. Okay! You will be on the list. Hand it over, and the slave family will return your sister Su to you, and let you leave the city. What happens next depends on your fate."
Kou Zhong said with a smile: "Shen Meiren, you really know how to joke. You saw that Xiaoling was injured, so I don't know how far we can go. Ha!"
Let me tell you the truth! Xiaoling is fine at all, look! Isn't he standing behind you?"
Shen Luoyan sighed: "Stop pretending. No one can be deceived by the large pool of blood left by Xiaoling. With the skill of "Shadow Assassin" Yang Xuyan, if he survives being stabbed, he should be regarded as the first One person!" Kou Zhong shouted exactly what he wanted to say, pretending to be sad and angry, and said with angry eyes: "That guy turns out to be Yang Xuyan!" Shen Luoyan's delicate body trembled slightly, and her beautiful eyes showed an extremely complicated expression, and she swirled He turned away again and said in a deep voice: "Don't lie to me. Is Xu Ziling dead?"
Kou Zhong wanted to make her have this illusion, so that he would be the only one who knew about Yang Gong's treasure. He put on a subtle expression of pain under pressure, shook his head and said: "Don't make wild guesses, the roster is in his hand now. If I can go back safely with Sister Su, I will ensure that he returns the roster immediately. Otherwise, after the time limit has passed, he will immediately escape and hand the roster over to Yang Guang. At that time, your Wagang Army will immediately cut off all intelligence information and become I am deaf and blind."
Shen Luoyan lowered her pretty face and still asked: "Is Xiaoling dead?" Kou Zhong finally noticed that there was something different in her expression, and thought to himself that she was in love with Xiaoling?
But when he thought about it, it shouldn't be the case, because it proved that she had always been cruel and ruthless towards him. No matter how rich his imagination was, he could not think of this aspect.
Kou Zhong shouted at the right moment: "Don't ask me whether you are willing to hand him over."
Shen Luoyan slowly raised her pretty face, with a chilling look in her eyes, but her tone was extremely calm:
"Don't lie to me, Xiaoling is dead. If I capture you, I guarantee that I can find out the name list from you."
Kou Zhong looked up to the sky and smiled sadly. He took out the blood-stained roll from his arms, placed it in front of his chest and said, "Come here, if you can get back the complete roll, my name will be called backwards."
Shen Luoyan's eyes fell on the blood-stained roster, her delicate body trembled again, and she whispered: "Where is his body?"
Kou Zhong couldn't help but asked in surprise: "He didn't see you caring about him when he was alive, but after he died, you always asked questions about him. What's going on?"
Shen Luoyanfeng looked coldly and said coldly: "This is none of your business. Return the roster to me immediately and I will let you and Su Su go. I promise not to pursue you. As for how to pass the level of Shiji City Defense, that's all. I'm sorry that the little girl is helpless."
Kou Zhong said: "Where are the people?"
Shen Luoyan returned to his usual calmness and said calmly: "Submit the book first and then release the person. Huh! Don't forget that even if you destroy the roster, we can compile another one with a little effort."
Kou Zhong said angrily: "Since you are not afraid of losing all the previous accounts, and you are not afraid of delaying the opportunity, then I will simply destroy the book, and then fight to the death with you. Anyway, if Xiaoling dies, Sister Su and I don't want to Live!" This is the most critical link in the plan that Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong came up with. It is to make Shen Luoyan mistakenly believe that because of Xu Ziling's death, Kou Zhong also has thoughts of death, which puts pressure on Shen Luoyan. It can also cause enemies to misjudge their strength.
The only thing they didn't expect was Shen Luoyan's reaction to "Xu Ziling's death".
Shen Luoyan wanted to force Kou Zhong to surrender by threatening to torture Su Su, but when he heard what Kou Zhong said, he immediately swallowed his words and sighed, "Oh! That's all! But there are some things that I can't make the decision on."
Zaijiao scolded, "Bring Su Su out for me!" Mo Cheng, the "wild old man" who had used a clever trick to capture Kou Xu alive on the river, led Su Su to Shen Luoyan's side.
Su Suzao burst into tears and cried out sadly: "Is Xiaoling dead?"
Kou Zhong was speechless, but he didn't dare to wink.
Shen Luoyan looked lonely and said: "Hand the book with one hand and the person with the other. I promise that my subordinates will not pursue you. As long as you say "no", I will immediately lay Su Su's corpse on the ground and kill you with all my strength."
Kou Zhong pretended to surrender, put the book on the ground, stretched out his feet and stepped on it, saying: "Let him go!" Shen Luoyan nodded slightly, Mo Cheng picked up Su Su whole and threw it towards Kou Zhong from high altitude. , teach him that if he wants to pick up someone, he must step back.
Kou Zhong was indeed obedient, jumped up high, and then Su Su walked away like a gust of wind.
Mo Cheng picked up the roster, took a look at it, and said with a change of expression: "Miss, this guy dares to lie to us."
Shen Luoyan took it and looked at it. Except for the two pages at the bottom, it was the Analects of Confucius written by Master Kong that he had stolen from nowhere. His face immediately turned pale with anger, his eyes flashed with murderous intent and he said: "I'll see where they can escape to." ?"
Xuan frowned again and said softly: "Is he not dead yet?"
When she said this, her pretty face couldn't help but feel hot, and she didn't know how she felt in her heart.
Could it be that this little devil actually occupied a seat in his heart?
Xu Ziling held Su Su, who was crying and laughing in his arms, and said with great joy, "I never thought Mrs. Shen would be fooled."
Kou Zhong sat down close to the wall and said, "Your strategy is indeed powerful. First of all, you are sure that Mrs. Shen will be there waiting for us to go back to rescue people, and even more sure that she is willing to return Sister Su to us, so as to increase the difficulty of our escape. It's just that I'm still missing something."
Xu Ziling asked curiously: "What?"
Su Su whispered: "It seems that she is very concerned about you!" Xu Ziling sneered and said: "It doesn't matter whether her mother is concerned about her, I wouldn't even want such a woman if she was given to me."
Turning to Su Su, she said, "Has Mrs. Shen treated your sister badly?"
Su Su shook her head and said, "She lied to me and said that she had captured Xiao Zhong and forced me to tell what happened in the past few days. My sister had no choice but to tell her."
Kou Zhongse changed his words and said, "Sister Su didn't mention anything about Dai Qinglou!" Su Su sat upright and said angrily: "Of course not, how can my sister be such a ignorant person?"
Kou Zhong moved over, put his arm around Xu Ziling's shoulders and said, "You are very lucky! It turns out that the guy who hurt you is the "Shadow Assassin" Yang Xuyan who even dared to assassinate our father."
Xu Ziling said bitterly: "If I hadn't used my kung fu in time to remove the true energy he had penetrated into my body, a mere book would never have saved my life. Huh! If we can escape this trip, we will need his good looks. ."
Kou Zhong patted his chest and said, "Anyone who offends our Yangzhou Shuanglongs will definitely have a bad end. Mother Shen is guaranteed to have trouble sleeping in the past few days."
Xu Ziling helped Su Su stand up and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid I won't be able to fight with others for at least a few days. If Peipei can't help us, we will have to exchange the real roster for freedom."
Kou Zhong sighed with him.
The sound of a dog barking suddenly came faintly in the distance.
The three of them exchanged glances, knowing that if they didn't slip away, they would never have to leave.
