Kou Zhong washed the disguise from his hair on his face and breathed a sigh of relief: "It turns out that disguise can make people so uncomfortable. Look! My skin is all red."
Xu Ziling squatted on the other side of the kitchen and washed it with freshly boiled water and cold water. He felt the same way and said: "The kind of facial paste that Viagra mixed up is a first-rate deception, but it is also a first-rate torture."
This is an ordinary courtyard house in Yangwu City. Liu Heitai's promise came true. The five people entered the city smoothly in batches and settled in Dou Jun's secret lair. After Liu Heitai settled them in, he and Zhuge Dewei
Went outside to do some activities and find out news.
Kou Zhong came to Xu Ziling's side and whispered: "Do you think Lao Liu is interested in Sister Su?"
Xu Ziling wiped off the last scum on his forehead and started to wash his hair. Hearing this, he said: "It's not very interesting, but very interesting. When he looked at Sister Su, his eyes seemed to light up."
He sighed again: "But it seems that Sister Su is avoiding him!" Kou Zhong showed off his expert skills and shook his head seriously: "Girls are like that. The more interested they are in you, the more they pretend not to care.
, so that I can fool you half to death.
It makes you feel itchy and unbearable. Old Liu's conditions are no worse than Brother Li's, and he knows how to be attentive and well-behaved. I don't believe Sister Su is not tempted." He handed the towel to Xu Ziling.
Xu Ziling took over and wiped his wet hair and whispered: "Do you want to bring them together? But Lao Liu goes to war three hundred days a year. If Sister Su marries him, won't she have to guard the empty curtain alone and have to constantly
I'm worried that he won't come back."
Kou Zhong smiled bitterly and said: "I have also thought about this problem, but if I marry Brother Li, wouldn't it be the same? The most important thing is to see what Sister Su wants. Let me go out and test her."
Ignoring Xu Ziling's dissuasion, he walked directly to Su Su's bedroom in the east wing, knocked on the door and said, "Sister Su!" Su Su responded:
"Come in!" Kou Zhong pushed open the door and entered. Susu was looking out the window, as if admiring the snowy scenery in the small garden in the middle of the courtyard.
He came behind her and whispered: "Sister, is there anything on your mind?"
Su Su trembled and said, "No! It's nothing."
Kou Zhong smiled and said: "Are you thinking about that boy Liu Heitai?"
Su Su turned around, her almond-shaped eyes widened, and she said displeasedly: "What are you talking about, alas! Where did you go?"
Kou Zhong said: "Don't you think he is very good to you?"
Su Su rolled her eyes at him and said, "You are not allowed to be meddlesome. You love to think wildly. Are you tired of your sister following you?" Kou Zhong said, "How could Sister Su have such thoughts? We only care about you."
That's all!" After Susu looked at him for a while, she sighed, half-leaned on the window sill, and said quietly: "Brother Liu is an out-and-out hero, but...
Alas! I don’t know how my sister said it!” Kou Zhong said happily: “That means Sister Su has a good impression of him, so what else can she say?”
Su Su shook her head sadly, stretched out her hand to touch Kou Zhong's cheek, lowered her head and said softly: "You don't understand what my sister is thinking."
Kou Zhong said distressedly: "Sister Su is hiding something in her heart and won't tell her. How can I understand it? Seeing Sister Su's appearance makes people sad."
Susu pondered for a while and said with a wry smile: "Every time I see Liu Heitai, it's like meeting Brother Li. They are both the same kind of people. My sister is very scared. Do you understand?"
Kou Zhong didn't expect that she would have such feelings and thoughts. He was so shocked that he was speechless for a while.
Su Su reluctantly cheered up and said, "Sister has decided to serve and take good care of you two wild boys from now on. She will never marry for the rest of her life. You should never worry about my sister again."
Kou Zhong was speechless, so he had to say: "Sister, don't set rules for yourself, otherwise when you meet someone you like in the future, you will miss it because of these words."
Su Su said slightly angrily: "Sister, I have good grades, you don't need to teach me a lesson."
At this time, Liu Heitai's voice came from the main hall, and the two people hurriedly walked out. Seeing Liu Heitai coming back after buying sumptuous food and wine, Xu Ziling was sitting in front of the table without politeness and munching, so the two people quickly joined in.
Susu watched the three people busy putting food into her bowl and mouth, and asked: "Where is Brother Wei?"
Liu Heitao said: "The waterway traffic in Yangwu is very tight now. It's useless just to have money, you also need to have power. My eldest brother has gone to discuss with the people of the Baling Gang. Only they can eat both black and white."
, other gangs can't do it." Kou Zhong and others looked at each other, not expecting that they would end up having a relationship with the Baling Gang.
When Liu Heitai saw their expressions were strange, he asked curiously: "Don't you have a problem with them?"
Kou Zhong said: "It's not a feud, but some relationship. Brother Liu, have you ever heard of the name of this boy Xiangyushan?" Liu Heitao said: "Not only have you heard of it, but we have also met him once. This person is a new member of the Baling Gang.
He is a famous figure of his generation, he knows how to do business, he is very popular in the black and white world, and he is very popular."
Kou Zhong was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that Xiangyushan, who was like a second generation ancestor, had such a status in the world.
Liu Heitao lowered his voice and said: "Although this man's martial arts are ordinary, he is extremely strategic. Currently, Yang Guang's two most favored concubines are Mrs. Xiao and Zhu Guier. It is said that Zhu Guier was dedicated to that person by Xiangyu Mountain himself.
It belongs to the foolish king."
Xu Ziling said: "If that's the case, why did Yang Guang send someone to assassinate the leader of the Baling Gang?"
Liu Heitai said: "These things are difficult for outsiders like us to understand."
Su Su said: "Brother Liu has come back with any news?"
When the beauty inquired about it, Liu Heitai was particularly energetic and said excitedly: "Of course the situation is great. Last month, Li Yuan rebelled in Taiyuan, Li Mi won another victory in a row, and Du Fuwei and Fu Gongyou were showing off their power over Jianghuai. I
The army also dominates Yanzhao. The only things that the Sui Dynasty can hold on to now are Chang'an, the capital of the west, Luoyang, the east capital, and Yangzhou, the capital of the Yangtze River where Yang Guang has shrunk. Other places, like the Yangwu City we are in here, have no defense capabilities at all. The generals who defended the city
Just to see which side we should surrender to!" Xu Ziling said excitedly: "How is the situation of the Li family?"
Liu Heitai said, "What's there to say about a lackey who surrendered to the Turks?"
Xu Ziling was very bored and had nothing to say.
Liu Heitao said: "There is one thing that is really puzzling. There is a rumor in the world that you two know the secret of Yang Gong's treasure. Whether this is just a rumor, because King Xia and I have studied it repeatedly, and the final conclusion is that this treasure is only
It's a myth that Zizi has never existed. Kou Zhongqi asked: "Why do you think the treasure does not exist?"
Liu Heitao said: "Back then, Yang Guang killed his father and became a self-reliant man, killing his brother Yang Yong. Yang Su did a lot for him. At that time, Yang Guang was still wearing the cloak of a wise king, and he was very fond of Yang Su. Although he thought about it many times,
Yang Su was killed, but there was no trace on the surface. This happened a year before Yang Su died. Therefore, Yang Su should not have the intention to rebel and hide the treasure."
Xu Ziling interjected: "The treasure could also have been prepared during the reign of Emperor Wen Yang Jian. With Yang Su's scheming, he should have known that the master with great achievements would not end well."
Liu Heitao said: "This theory may be true, but later Yang Xuangan, Yang Su's son, rebelled. His men didn't even have a decent weapon, and they often lacked pay and silver. It makes no sense. How could Yang Su not
Should you tell your son about the treasure?"
Kou Zhong couldn't help but said: "The place where Yang Xuangan rebelled was Liyang. The mountains and rivers in Xijing are far away. Maybe there is no time to dig out the treasure!" Liu Heitai patted the stage and laughed and said: "The two brothers really have little experience in the world. Just a few words
Find out for me the location of Yang Gong's treasure in Xijing."
Xu Ziling said angrily: "Who would have thought that Brother Liu would trick us?"
Kou Zhong chuckled and said, "Brother Liu is just here to train us. But we only know that the treasure is in Guanzhong, and my mother passed away before she could tell her. Otherwise, she might give the treasure to Brother Liu."
Liu Heita said happily: "Your words are enough. To be honest, I don't believe how much a treasure can do."
At this time Zhuge Dewei came back, sat down and said: "Tonight the Baling Gang will send a big boat to Jiangdu to deliver all kinds of silk and satin to Hunjun, so that Hunjun can order people to cut them into flowers and leaves, and decorate them on the branches.
On the pond, he can see the beautiful scenery of spring and summer in winter. I have already agreed that you can take a free boat trip, and the Baling Gang will really give us face this trip."
Liu Heitai sighed and said, "This foolish king will not repent even when he is about to die."
Xuan reluctantly said, "We are breaking up!" Susu lowered her pretty face, not daring to meet his eyes.
Kou Zhong, full of enthusiasm and courage, stood up and said, "Brother Liu, I have a few words to ask you privately."
Liu Heitai was a little surprised. He followed him to the garden outside the house and asked in a low voice: "What's the matter? Are you short of money?"
Kou Zhong patted his waist bag and said generously: "My money is enough for us to go to Huayao Winery. Brother Liu, don't worry."
Then he lowered his voice and said, "I think Brother Liu is a little interested in our Sister Su, right?"
Liu Heitai blushed and said, "Of course I can't hide this kind of thing from you. It's strange. I've met a lot of girls, but when I see your sister, I can't control myself. Alas!" Kou Zhongqi said, "This is a good thing.
Why does Brother Liu sigh?"
Liu Heitai said dejectedly: "Five years ago, someone looked at my face and said that my roots were too low and my eyebrows were evil. I was afraid that I would not be able to pass the age of forty-one. So I have made up my mind to live happily ever after."
Forget about surviving these forty years, I don’t dare to think about anything else."
Kou Zhongshan said: "How can we trust the words of the magicians?"
Liu Heitai smiled bitterly and said: "The problem is that this person is not an ordinary charlatan, but Ning Daoqi, the tallest man in the Central Plains. Moreover, I showed that I am not afraid of the truth and begged him repeatedly before he was willing to tell me."
Kou Zhongju asked in shock: "Have you seen him?"
Liu Heitai showed envy and nodded: "It was just a quick moment, but his indifferent and calm demeanor will never be forgotten until my death."
He reached out and patted Kou Zhong on the shoulder and said: "My feelings for your sister can only be kept deep in my heart, and I dare not burden her."
Besides, when I go back today, I have to fight in the world again. Life or death is uncertain. I don’t know if I will see the three of you again in the future. Brother Kou is grateful for his kindness."
Kou Zhong has nothing else to say.
Heavy snow began to fall from the sky again.
At dusk, a carriage from the Baling gang came to pick up three people.
Liu Heitai and others said goodbye to the three of them, thinking that they might never see each other again, and everyone's hearts were filled with melancholy.
After getting on the carriage, Su Su felt something in her heart and wept secretly. Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were so frightened that they did not dare to disturb her. They silently watched the snowflakes dancing on the street through the curtain of the carriage.
The Baling Gang who drove the car was polite and polite. He drove straight out of the city gate and came to the large dock next to Tongji Canal outside the city. He led the three of them into the small boat. After a while, they arrived at a giant five-sail boat parked in the middle of the river.
Beside the boat.
The three of them boarded the deck, and one of them came up with a smile and said, "Brother Kou, Brother Xu, and Miss Susu, hello!"
Su Su was surprised and happy and shouted "Ah": "It turns out to be Mr. Xiang!" The person who came was actually Xiang Yushan. Seeing Kou and Xu looking at him with unkind expressions, she hurriedly bowed and said: "Brothers, please don't blame me."
Brother, I have done everything I can to inquire about the whereabouts of the three of them, but to no avail. Fortunately, I guessed that Yangwu must pass through on his way to Jiangdu, so I came here to wait for the news. Sure enough, the emperor has paid off and finally met the three of you again.
Meet!" Kou Zhong said sarcastically: "Luckily we didn't go looking for your Peipei, otherwise we would have fallen into the hands of the Wagang Army."
Xu Ziling sneered and said, "Brother Xiang is such a good introduction."
Xiang Yushan said in astonishment: "This is actually happening, huh! If it is proven to be true, brothers will definitely deal with the traitor according to gang rules."
Kou Zhong said: "When something happens in the future, how do we know you won't betray us like Peipei did?"
Xiangyushan pretended to be resigned and said to Qu, "Brother Kou, how can you look at me Xiangyushan like this? If I have such intentions, I won't end up well."
Su Su couldn't bear to say: "Master Xiang would never have thought of such a thing, so don't blame him anymore."
Xu Ziling glanced around and saw that the sailors were unmooring and hoisting the sails, preparing to set sail. He said to Xiangyushan: "Okay! But if we find out that you are playing tricks, I will break up the gang immediately."
Xiangyushan said angrily: "You three can rest assured that I, Xiangyushan, am definitely not a despicable person."
After a pause, he said respectfully: "My little brother has prepared a banquet of food and wine in the cabin, especially for three people to wash their hands. Miss Su Su invites you!"
Susu glanced at Xiangyushan and started walking happily. Xiangyushan was overjoyed to lead the way.
When Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling saw that Su Su had been invited to enter the cabin, they had no choice but to follow her.
The cabin was brightly lit, with a stove burning, and it was as warm as spring. A sumptuous banquet was laid out in the cabin. Beside the banquet was a beauty in white, leading four pretty maids, who bowed to greet her.
Xiang Yushan introduced: "Sister Xiao is the sister of Xiao Mian, the deputy leader of our gang. She has always taken care of the daily needs of the concubines in the palace. She is well aware of the situation in the palace. With her planning, this trip to Yuwen Clan is in danger."
The twenty-something Sister Xiao is not as beautiful as the girls Shen Luoyan and Shan Wanjing, but she is tall and tall, has a sultry figure, is very charming, and has a seductive flavor that attracts people.
Sister Xiao laughed like a silver bell, looked at Kou and Xu up and down unscrupulously, and said with a smile before saying anything: "Sure enough, they are so talented, no wonder Yushan fell in love with the two of them at a glance!" Xiangyushan coughed in embarrassment.
The voice said: "You three, please take a seat."
After everyone was seated, the pretty maid poured wine for them and then exited the cabin.
Susu didn't know how to drink, so she drank fragrant tea instead, and Xiangyushan, who was sitting next to her, served her attentively.
Sister Xiao looked like a bohemian, and frequently encouraged Kou and Xu to drink. The atmosphere was lively.
After drinking for three rounds, Xiang Yushan said: "Know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. I wonder if the two eldest brothers know anything about the Yuwen Clan?"
Kou Zhong was particularly rude to Xiangyushan, frowning and saying, "If you don't tell me, how would I know?"
Sister Xiao smiled sweetly and said: "It's all Yushan's fault. He gave the two young masters a bad impression from the beginning. This cup is my apology on behalf of Yushan."
She felt embarrassed that Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling's concerns were expressed so frankly to her, so she quickly drank the glass of wine.
Sister Xiao said to Su Su with a bright smile: "If I could have two such good brothers like Miss Su Su, I would be extremely happy."
Su Su originally looked down upon this young but experienced woman who kept ogling Kou and Xu, but after giving her such a compliment, her dislike was greatly reduced and she burst into happiness. laugh it out.
Xiang Yushan looked at her smile like a blooming flower with a little obsession, and sighed: "It would be great if I could have a sister like Miss Susu like Brother Kou and Brother Xu!" Su Su gave him a blank look. , with a pretty face and a slight blush, she lowered her head and whispered:
"How dare you be Susu? I'm just a servant."
Xiangyushan said sternly: "No matter what identity Miss Susu has had, in my heart, Xiangyushan is always a fairy in heaven."
Su Su's pretty face turned redder, but she looked happy.
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling exchanged glances, and both felt that something was wrong. When Susu met Xiangyushan for the first time, she helped him speak. If Xiangyushan, a veteran who was accustomed to messing around in the rouge, started to love her, he won the prize. It would be extremely bad to win her heart.
When the two of them were planning their own countermeasures, Sister Xiao said: "I'd rather be the one to talk about the Yuwen Clan's affairs! The two most powerful people in the Yuwen family are Yuwen Shang and Yuwen Shu. Song Queyin was one of the two great masters under Ning Daoqi in Zhongtu. He was extremely skilled in martial arts, but he never got involved in officialdom. He had two sons, Yuwen Chengdu and Yuwen Wudi."
Kou Zhong was stunned and said: "I thought Yuwen Gu was his son, but it turns out he is not."
Sister Xiao smiled like a trembling flower and said: "Yu Wenwen Gu? It's a shame you figured it out."
Kou Xu's eyes couldn't help but fall on her trembling breasts that swayed with laughter, and he felt very stimulating and attractive.
Xiangyushan accessed the road: "Yuwen Shuze held high positions in the imperial court successively, reaching the rank of Duke Xu Guogong. He was a highly respected minister. He had three sons, Yuwen Wenji and the eldest son, followed by Yuwen Tuji and Yuwen Zhiji. Although Yuwen Zhiji did not enter the Yuwen clan Among the four masters, he is the most unpredictable and we must not underestimate him."
Sister Xiao said: "Yu Wenshang's family never held official positions and were responsible for the affairs of the world. However, among Yu Wenshu's three sons, Yu Wenshu and Xu Guogong inherited the title of their father, Xu Guogong. They were worshiped as General Youtunwei and the general manager of the capital. The second son was a scholar. Then he married Princess Nanyang, daughter of Yang Guang, and became the consort of the Sui Dynasty."
Xiangyushan interjected: "Yuwen Zhiji was good at wood construction. He pretended to be Yang Guang's young prison. He supervised the construction of the "Ten Shugang Palaces" such as Guiyan Palace, Huiliu Palace, and Songlin Palace in the north of Jiangdong City. ."
Xu Ziling let out a sigh of relief and said, "The relationship between the Yuwen clan and the royal family is so close, what use can an account book do?"
Xiangyushan said: "So we must plan carefully, otherwise if we fail to harm them, it will be our turn to suffer big losses." Only then did the two of them realize that this trip was dangerous and not as easy as they imagined.
But they have already ridden on the tiger's back and cannot retreat even if they want to.
