The Dai Qing Building has not yet opened its doors to welcome guests. Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling and Su Su are hiding in an unmanned room in one of the small buildings in the front yard, quietly waiting for the boy from the cloth shop.
Pepe has become their only hope of escape.
Now even Xu Ziling was seriously injured, and it was impossible for Kou Zhong to escape from the city with the two of them with his own strength.
Shen Luoyan, who lost the roster, will definitely do everything possible to hunt them down. Because it involves the rise and fall of the Wagang Army. Kou Zhong looked out the window and whispered: "I'm not lying to you. That woman Shen Luoyan is mistakenly thinking When you died, your demeanor was indeed extraordinary and you were not pretending."
Xu Ziling was sitting cross-legged and resting. Hearing this, he opened his eyes and said impatiently: "Stop talking! I get angry when I think of her."
Kou Zhong turned around and warned: "Don't get angry, or you may go crazy."
Xu Ziling was surprised, knowing that due to his injury, his skills were weakened and his mood was prone to fluctuations. He hurriedly pondered over it and returned to a state of mind that would never waver.
Su Su's pretty face turned red and she said, "Shen Luoyan once asked about my sister's relationship with you, but she didn't seem to believe it after I told her.
Looking back, she might be really jealous!" Kou Zhong looked back to the snowy sky outside, nodded and said:
"Mrs. Shen once said before that if she wanted to get married, she would choose Xiaoling, and I could be her lover. At that time, she thought she was joking, but now I think about it, it is also very serious. Ha! If it can be harmful, If she has to worry about it alone, then she will be avenged in any way!"
Then he said excitedly: "Hey! It's here!" "Bang! Bang! Bang!" There was a knock on the door.
The waiter held the wrapped cloth and shivered in the cold, "Here comes the brocade deliverer!" A big man walked out of the lobby, crossed the square in the front yard, pushed the door open a little, and asked Said: "What's the matter?"
The boy handed the cloth to the big man and muttered: "Of course it's high-quality silk, it's for Miss Peppa Pig." After saying that, he hurried away in the snow without looking back.
The big man was stunned for a while, then he walked back to the house holding the brocade.
Kou Zhong hurriedly lay down on the floor and listened carefully to the movement downstairs.
I heard a woman ask: "What a blessing! What's going on?"
He Fu responded: "How strange! Someone sent a piece of high-quality silk and satin, and specified that it should be given to the landlady."
The woman said: "This is indeed strange. The landlady has not greeted the guests in person for a long time, but there are still people coming to please her. Let's leave it with her first, and we will talk about it after she comes back!" Kou Zhong got the idea and flashed out of the room. He came back after a while and said: "Pepe turned out to be the proprietress here, living in a quiet house in the backyard, but now she doesn't know where she is."
Xu Ziling said: "This is not a good place to hide. Why don't we hide in her boudoir!" Kou Zhong shouted a good plan, picked up Su Su and led the way.
Xu Ziling chased after him without any difficulty.
If Yang Xuyan witnessed the current situation with his own eyes, he would be shocked and couldn't believe his eyes.
But they don’t know that the "Secret of Immortality" is actually a Taoist secret that has not been passed down through the ages. It has an opportunity to conquer the heaven and earth, and the ghosts and gods are unpredictable.
At that time, when Yang Xuyan stabbed Xu Ziling's lower abdomen with his sword, he was blocked by the roster and was slowed down.
It was this moment of buffering that allowed Xu Ziling to melt away the multiple deadly energy sent into him by the tip of his sword in time.
There is a sea of qi under the abdomen. Injuries in this area are extremely difficult to heal, especially for those who practice qi.
However, the "Secret of Immortality" has the function of preserving life and longevity, and Kou Zhong used the true energy from the same source to help him heal. Therefore, in just one night, Xu Ziling recovered most of his skills and created unbelievable miracles.
Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling and Su Su were among them, so of course they took it for granted and it was not surprising.
But she was so tired that Shen Luoyan miscalculated and focused her search on the houses in the deep alleys within a radius of two miles with her home as the center, so that the three of them could easily hide here.
At this time, all the girls in Daiqing Courtyard had just woken up. Everyone had taken a shower and changed clothes, but had not yet left their rooms, so only maidservants occasionally passed by in the corridors of the courtyard.
The three of them arrived at the house of the proprietress Peipei without any danger, avoided the two maids in the front hall, and hid in her boudoir.
How could Kou Zhong be so polite? He opened the quilt and asked Su Su, who was shivering from cold, to get under the quilt. Then he laid Xu Ziling on the other side and sat at the end of the bed. He smiled and said, "Wagang's army doesn't seem to be that powerful, at least."
So far, nothing can be done to us."
Su Su said angrily: "The worst thing about Xiao Zhong is that he is easily complacent. It's not too late to be complacent after escaping from the city!" Xu Ziling said:
"Since leaving Yangzhou, we have been living a life of escape day and night. We really hope to find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to settle down and live a peaceful life."
Susu excitedly discussed what kind of ideal place to live in. After a while, Kou Zhong asked about Yang Xuyan's martial arts. After Xu Ziling explained in detail, he still said with fear: "This man's internal strength has reached the point where he can do whatever he wants. Not only can he use the sword to
When the Qi energy is exhaled from the tip, it can be divided into thousands of strands, producing various pulling forces, making it completely impossible for me to perform to my usual level."
Kou Zhong muttered: "This is indeed very interesting. But if he can do it, we should also be able to do it."
Susu asked curiously: "Did Xiaoling really not see his appearance clearly?"
Xu Ziling said: "This is even more strange. The place where he and I started was dark, but my eyes were full of sword light. In addition, his movement was as fast as a ghost. I couldn't even tell whether he was tall, short, fat or thin."
"
Kou Zhong clapped his legs and said, "I understand. If you try pressing your eyes with your fingers, Venus will appear in random directions soon. Yang Xuyan must have used this principle to create pressure on his eyes with his sword energy, which caused you to have the illusion."
Cong Sheng. Alas! This guy is pretty awesome."
Xu Ziling nodded and said: "Maybe it's true as you said. But his sword is more terrifying. It will hit the air even if it hits, but when it hits, it will be slippery and can't be touched. Is it possible that so many dominating figures can't hit it?"
I will drink hatred under his sword."
Kou Zhong let out a breath of cold air and said, "This guy does have some skills. Hey!" The three of them fell silent.
The sound of footsteps came from far and near, even Su Su could faintly hear it, and then two maids in the outer hall said in unison: "Madam is back!"
The three people in the room were overjoyed, knowing that they had finally found Pepe.
A slightly cold, deep but beautiful female voice said: "What is this?"
One of the maids replied: "I don't know who bought a piece of silk and satin from a time-honored store on West Street, and sent someone to deliver it, indicating that it was for Madam. Yun Niang has been notified of this matter."
Peipei was silent for a while and said calmly: "Go and call me Yun Niang."
The two maidservants went as ordered.
Kou Zhong, who was eavesdropping with his ears raised, heard the sound of Peipei sitting down and whispered: "It's better to listen to what they say first.
"Xu Ziling said: "Isn't Yun Niang the coquettish lady who received us that day?"
Kou Zhong nodded in agreement.
Suddenly, the three of them were a little nervous.
Now Pepe can be said to be their last hope.
If this road is blocked, you will have only your own strength to escape.
In the past, it was still difficult to do it without Xu Ziling being injured, but now it is even more difficult. After a while, Yun Niang came.
After Peipei sent away the two maids, she said, "Have you found out what happened?"
Yun Niang replied respectfully: "After asking, the person who bought the cloth must be Su Su, and the time was yesterday afternoon. It seems that the two boys used the method of asking for directions to find the lady."
The three people in the room were stunned when they heard this, because when Yun Niang talked about them, her tone was not polite.
Peipei pondered for a while and said: The truth should be like this, but I'm afraid they can't come. Now Xu Ziling was injured by Yang Xuyan, and his life or death is uncertain. Shen Luoyan is trying his best to search for their whereabouts. Just now she sent me to speak, indicating that if I
If the Baling Gang dares to interfere with this matter, they will not be polite. So we must not get involved."
Kou Zhong and the other three looked at each other in shock and their hearts sank.
Yun Niang outside complained: "I was killed by Master Xiang today! How can I still gain a foothold in Xingyang after offending the Wagang Army?"
Peipei said: "The only way is to cooperate with Shen Luoyan obediently. Just now I deliberately stayed alone to see if Kou Zhong would show up to meet me. Now it has been confirmed that he has not come yet. I will report to Shen Luoyan right away.
Regarding this matter. If they really come, you have to try to stabilize them and wait until I come back."
After saying that, he went out.
The three of them had lost their last hope, restored everything in the room to its original state, and left quietly.
Under the cover of heavy snow, Kou Zhong carried Su Su on his back and quickly crossed several buildings and landed in the large garden of Xu Shiji's mansion.
After observing for a while, Kou Zhong said: "If we follow Chen Laomou's teachings, Xu Shiji's office should be in one of the east and west wings next to the main hall, and the drawing of Xingyang City should also be placed there."
Xu Ziling said: "We will know this once we investigate, let's go quickly!" The three of them crossed the garden and sneaked towards the front yard.
At this time, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling had very rich experience in promotion. They advanced and retreated in a measured manner, and stopped and stopped with evidence. They avoided the sight of several servants and entered Xu Shiji's study room filled with volumes after a while.
The two of them quickly searched according to the method taught by Chen Laomou. The documents they had reviewed were arranged exactly as they were before, so that they would never be found to have tampered with them later.
There are more than a thousand documents stored in the archives room, so this work is time-consuming and laborious.
The entire Xu Mansion seemed deserted. I wonder if the experts in the mansion were involved in the search for them.
The two of them used their eyesight to turn left and right in the darkness.
It was not until the first update that Kou Zhong had something to gain.
The three of them gathered together and looked at the stack of scrolls that Kou Zhong spread out on the table.
Su Su lit the oil lamp on the table, and Kou Zhong took off his coat to cover the lamp to prevent the light from leaking out.
Xu Ziling flipped to the third picture at the bottom and exclaimed, "This is it."
It was a picture of the underground water ditch in Xingyang City. The painting was exquisite and there were text descriptions.
Kou Zhong pointed to a sewer in the south of the city and said: "This sewer is connected to the moat and is five feet wide, which is enough for us to pass through."
Xu Ziling pointed to the junction of the canal and the city river and said: "There must be something like a fence installed at the mouth of the canal. We must have tools like saws to break through the fence."
Kou Zhong said with a smile: "This is easy, just leave it to me. Now I will go explore the way first, and you will hide here until I come back."
The three of them studied for a while, and Su Su said sadly: "I won't leave! If I walk on such a long waterway, I will be suffocated to death."
Kou Zhong chuckled and said, "With me, Xiao Zhong, how can my sister have any problems? Last time, Xiao Ling was the one who licked my sister's lips. This time, it's my turn!" Su Su glared at Kou Zhong fiercely.
Pretty face turned red.
Xu Ziling said sternly: "How could Mr. Zhong say such frivolous words to Sister Su? Our siblings are innocent. It was just an expedient measure at that time!" Kou Zhong hurriedly apologized to Su Su and said with a glance: "You guys
It's best to hide in that big cabinet. As long as I take away the things inside, it will be enough for you. Xiaoling can also take the opportunity to heal his injuries, and Sister Su can have a sleep. When Xu Ziling woke up with a start, Lu Su was there.
She was still sleeping soundly in his arms, breathing evenly. He hurriedly woke Susu up and whispered, "Someone is coming!" Susu was so frightened that she turned around and fell into his arms, not even daring to breathe out.
mouth.
The sound of the door opening.
Shen Luoyan's sweet voice sounded outside the cabinet: "Historical achievements! Where is the city map?"
After a soft sound, there was the sound of opening the scroll, and Xu Shiji said: "We have searched the entire southern district, but still haven't found these two guys, so we must expand the scope and seal off the areas we have searched to avoid
Sneak back for them."
Xu Ziling cried out in his heart.
With his strange energy, it shouldn't be difficult to hide it from the eyes and ears of these two people.
However, Su Su only had a brief knowledge of boxing and kicking, and did not know the advanced skills. When Shen and Xu calmed down, they would definitely notice something strange inside the cabinet.
Thinking of this, my heart moved, and I hurriedly put the true energy into Su Su's mouth slowly. As expected, Su Su's external energy stopped immediately, and she switched from external breathing to internal breathing based solely on the inner breath coming and going.
After Shen Luoyan and Xu Shiji discussed how to search the whole city step by step, and decided how to blockade the area, Shen Luoyan suddenly let out a sweet cry, and then the seductive sound of kissing sounded outside.
Shen Luoyan said angrily: "Don't be like this, I'm not in the mood right now."
Xu Shiyan snorted coldly: "Not in the mood? When will you be in the mood? How many times have we never been intimate? Shen Luoyan retreated unhappily: "If I'm not in the mood, I'm not in the mood. Do I have to confess my regrets to Mr. Xu?"
Xu Shiyan's tone softened and he said in an almost pleading tone: "Luoyan! You should know that I am infatuated with you. Don't let outsiders affect our relationship!" Su Su in the cabinet hugged Xu Ziling's waist.
She squeezed him lightly, indicating that the person who influenced the two of them was Xu Ziling.
Shen Luoyan's tone turned cold and said: "Don't talk nonsense, it's about outsiders and insiders, how can this have anything to do with a third party? You, Mr. Xu, have always been very romantic. What does it matter if you have more of me and less of me? You will be infatuated with me."
, I'm afraid you're just joking!" Xu Shiji said angrily, "I didn't want to say it at all. You've always known about my cheating, so why are you settling the score with me now?"
After a pause, he continued: "Ever since you met that boy Ba Fenghan, and were coaxed by his sweet words to swim with you all day long, your whole person has changed since you came back. Even Mi Gong asked me about this, you
Come and teach me how to be nice to public transportation."
This time it was Xu Ziling's turn in the closet, who was embarrassed and uncomfortable. It turned out that Shen Luoyan had met Ba Fenghan before, and maybe even slept with him, otherwise Xu Shiji wouldn't have been so jealous.
Su Su was very surprised because Shen Luoyan had a different demeanor because he thought Xu Ziling was dead. How could he suddenly kill Ba Fenghan?
Shen Luoyan said angrily: "I don't care about your affairs, and you don't need to worry about mine."
Xu Shiji softened again and sighed: "Ba Fenghan is not only an outsider. He came to the Central Plains today with the intention of causing trouble. In the name of sword competition, he has defeated more than ten famous people from all over the country, and
There is no benefit at all from having a relationship with this kind of person."
Shen Luoyan was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "Now all I can think about is how to get the roster back. If it falls into the hands of the government, the consequences will be disastrous. Let's go quickly!" After the two left, Xu Ziling and Su Su
Then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Su raised her pretty face and breathed out softly: "I'm afraid Xu Shiji is mistaken!" Xu Ziling said with a bitter smile: "My sister would say that only after she has never seen that Ba Fenghan. Not only is this man extremely powerful in martial arts, but he also has a long
He has a very impressive charm. He can draw everyone's attention to him whenever he stands up. He and I are far behind. Su Su said displeasedly: "I will never believe that you and he are the same."
Xiao Zhong is just because you are still young, but given time, my sister will not believe that anyone can overshadow your shine.
You just don’t know it! In fact, you are changing every day. Especially since you each have a unique temperament, my sister is very moved by you!" Although the two of them are in the most intimate state, they are both heartless.
Remember, there is only the pure love between brother and sister.
Xu Ziling said awkwardly: "Sister Su, please stop laughing at me. Can you sleep a little longer?"
Su Su nodded meekly, fell into his arms like a little sheep, closed her beautiful eyes, and fell asleep.
With a charming body, Xu Ziling's thoughts were ups and downs.
Suddenly, he felt like he didn't know where to go.
The first thing he has to consider is no longer revenge on Yu Wenhuaji for Fu Junzhuo, but how to arrange for the good sister in his arms.
The problem is that they still can't figure out the relationship between Li Jing and Su Su.
Even if Li Jing is found, it may only make things worse.
At this time of war and chaos, I was worried about leaving Su Su anywhere.
If you take her with you, it will be very dangerous for her because the two of you have become the target of public criticism.
When his head was spinning with thoughts, Kou Zhong came back.
At this time, it was daylight, and Kou Zhong got into the big cabinet and said dejectedly: "It's too bad this time. It turns out that when the sewer reaches the outlet, it is divided into more than ten small water channels that are so thin that even dogs can't get through. We
It's just a waste of effort and a waste of joy."
Su Su said: "Have you looked down there?"
Kou Zhong nodded and said: "Of course I have gone to see it. I just stole another set of clothes to change into. Alas!" Xu Ziling said:
"No wonder you smell bad!" Kou Zhong said: "I also stopped by to see the situation of the city defense. There were Wagang troops everywhere, and there were sentries in higher places in the city. Leaving the city was just a dream. Hey! Xiaoling is fine.
Do you want some?"
Xu Ziling said: "As long as I have three days, I should be able to fully recover." He added: "I have a way."
Kou Zhongqi said: "You do have skills. I'm really at my wits' end. Please tell me."
Xu Ziling said: "It's still that book. To the Wagang Army, it is much more important than the "Yang Gong's Treasure". Do you think it's okay to use it as a condition for negotiation?"
Kou Zhong pondered for a while and nodded in agreement: "It is indeed the only way out of all options, but it is best to wait until you are completely recovered before going out to trade with Granny Shen. Then you will be more confident."
Xu Ziling said: "It's not that we want to take action, it doesn't matter if it comes sooner or later. According to the information we just overheard, Shen Luoyan will start searching this area this morning. If someone finds him and negotiates a deal, it won't be that valuable. ."
Kou Zhong said: "Okay! I'll go find Mrs. Shen!" Susu pulled him and said: "Xiao Zhong! My sister is very scared!" Kou Zhong kissed her on the cheek and said with a smile: " Don't worry, sister! Anyone who wants to deal with our Yangzhou Shuanglongs will have to eat all the food and walk around in circles."
This time it was Xu Ziling's turn to pull him and tell him word for word the arrest plan that Shen Luoyan and Xu Shiji had just discussed.
Kou Zhong said happily: "Thank God, they can't get the slightest bit of help from me this time."
