Gui Xiliang and Xingrong were forced into a corner. The latter's left arm was injured and bleeding, so he was obviously at a disadvantage.
The other guests and waiters were huddled on the side near the kitchen. Everyone had angry expressions on their faces, but they dared to be angry but dared not speak. As soon as Kou and Xu crossed the threshold, they pointed their halberds at the two gatekeepers of Yuzhutang and shouted: "You are so stupid." Get out of here, you two minions. There is no room for you to talk here.
Xu Ziling snorted coldly when he saw his old friend was injured and stepped forward.
In a flash of sword light, one of them swung his sword and struck him on the left shoulder.
Before Xu Ziling made a move, Kou Zhong flew out with a kick.
boom!
The man was kicked so hard that the sword fell out of his hand and he was thrown off the ground, falling heavily onto a chair. There was a sound of splintering wood.
Everyone in the museum was moved.
The other five people in Yuzhutang were frightened by Kou Zhong's move and retreated to one side, facing the disadvantage of being attacked on both sides.
Gui Xiliang and Xingrong looked at Kou and Xu in disbelief.
Kou Zhong cupped his fists and said: How will Guixiang's subordinates deal with these traitors who dare to commit such crimes?
The strong man in the lead of Yuzhutang shouted: "What are you doing to me? Bai Rong is the incense master of Yuzhutang. On the order of the hall master Luo Xian, I asked the master of Guixiang to talk to you two. You two are the ones to do it."
Gui Xiliang looked at the enemy who was still struggling on the ground and couldn't get up and said in a deep voice: Do you want to use a knife if you ask me to go?
Kou Zhong pointed at Bai Rong and said with a smile: This is what Bai Xiangzhu is doing wrong. Let's do this! We will tie them up and ask Hall Master Luo to comment and see who is right and who is wrong.
Bai Rong winked and immediately two people jumped out and slashed Kou Zhong with their swords.
Xu Ziling snorted coldly, stepped in front of Kou Zhong, opened his bow from left to right, and hit both of them in the stomach before slashing with the two swords.
The two people were hit so hard that they fell onto Bai Rong. The three of them turned into gourds on the ground and were in such a miserable state that the remaining few remained silent, let alone do anything.
Gui Xiliang and Xingrong were dumbfounded. They had been separated for three days and looked at each other with admiration.
Kou Zhong clapped his hands in a leisurely manner and said, "How about it? Do you want to go to the Yuzhu Hall to kill the majesty of Master Luo Hall?"
Lord Guixiang, if you don't go, the two of us will do it for you.
Without saying a word, Gui Xiliang winked at Xingrong and dragged Kou Xu to the street: "Let's go back to the Military Advisor's Mansion first."
Kou Zhong and Xu Ling knew that he was timid and had to smile bitterly in response.
※※※
Like most cities in the south of the Yangtze River, rivers form the link between the inside and outside of Jiangyin and the rural areas of the four townships, and are also the framework of the urban layout.
The residents near the river, with their whitewashed walls and windows reflecting the waves, form a fresh picture full of water town scenery. The water lanes and bridges are full of beautiful scenery in spring.
The predecessor of the Military Advisor's Mansion was the Dudu's Mansion in Jiangyin. It is located at the intersection of rivers in the center of the city. There is a bridge across the river from the main entrance, which makes the entire building complex of the Military Advisor's Mansion particularly impressive.
Comparatively speaking, the south is more peaceful than the north. Jiangyin has a prosperous scene with the influx of a large number of northern people who fled south.
In troubled times, it is easy to understand how the people do not want the Zhuhua Gang to change.
Even though Xu Ziling did not want to get involved in this kind of power and territory dispute, he still felt that it was necessary to prevent notorious gangsters like the Iron Riders from annexing the Zhuhua Gang.
Gui Xiliang encountered trouble when he led the two people across the bridge.
Another incense master in charge of the guard, Mai Yunfei, was a disciple of military advisor Shao Lingzhou. He was quite handsome and dignified, arrogant and arrogant. He stared at Kou and Xu and said, "Master has ordered that from now on, no strangers will be allowed to enter the military advisor's mansion."
Gui Xiliang lost face in front of Kou Zhong, but he had no choice but to make a last effort and said: The two of them are loyal martyrs who died heroically in Yangzhou. Yan Kuan's disciples have been practicing martial arts in the martial arts in recent years. Bai Rong of Yuzhutang was beaten to a pulp, so I hope to make a recommendation to Master Shao.
Mai Yunfei glanced at the two of them with a disdainful look and shook his head with a so-so look: That will only happen after tonight.
Gui Xiliang had no choice but to pull the two of them aside and said: I will go into the house first to meet with Military Advisor Shao, and then I will take you into the house later.
Xing Rongshu hummed, "Mai Yunfei has always been domineering and domineering because he is Shao's eldest disciple and has Shao Lanfang's love, especially to exclude us old people who follow the gang leader. Sooner or later we will make him fall into a big somersault."
Gui Xiliang was self-aware and knew that he couldn't beat Mai Yunfei. He pulled Xingrong and said: "Stop talking nonsense, go in and you two remember to wait for us here."
After the two of them left, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling took refuge on the stone bank built along the river at the end of the bridge, sitting down facing the river like they were doing in their gangster lives.
Kou Zhong looked at Mai Yunfei who was guarding the bridge and said with a smile: "Xiliang, this bastard's luck seems to be not very good. He had a chance to become a prosperous gang leader but was killed by the Hunjun again. Now he meets this Mai Yunfei who is always against him."
What else is the incense owner supposed to do when two people enter the house and are blocked?
Xuan You said excitedly: Shao Lanfang is a famous beauty in our Zhuhua Gang, but he would be mad at Mai Yunfei to death if we wanted to kill her with a sword.
Xu Ziling said angrily: If you seduce someone else's lover for this reason, I will never allow it.
Kou Zhong hugged his shoulder and said with a smile: I was just playing! Why should Ling be so serious?
Then he changed the subject and said: Xiliang is a Xiang leader and a closed disciple of the first gang leader, and his status is not low; and there is also a group of direct subordinates of the first gang leader to support you. Do you have a chance to become the new gang leader? Otherwise, Mai would not be able to do it.
Yunfei squeezed him deliberately.
At this time, Xu Ziling was holding his back with his hands, leaning back and enjoying the afternoon sunshine. Hearing this, he was dumbfounded and said: Xiliang's Taoism is too shallow, how can he be qualified to be a gang leader? Don't talk nonsense, you really want to be a gang leader!
Kou Zhong shook his head and said: I really don't have this intention and it won't work. Now that Li Mi is so powerful, if I become the leader of the Zhuhua Gang, the Zhuhua Gang may be over in a few days. But if Xiliang becomes the new gang leader, he will have to rely on us.
Supporting him is no different than me becoming a gang leader.
Xu Ziling smiled bitterly and said: If you want Xiliang to be the leader of the gang, I'm afraid you have to kill all the current strategist hall leaders in the gang first. Are you that powerful?
Kou Zhong looked at the calm river water at his feet and muttered: This matter is indeed difficult, but not impossible. The most important thing is that Xiliang is the disciple of the first gang leader. He was originally very courageous, but he may have lost it because he was used to being bullied recently.
Confidence. Ugh!
Xu Ziling whispered: Then Mai Yunfei is here again!
Kou Zhong looked away and saw Mai Yunfei leading four of his men away from the bridge and walking towards them along the stone bank, and he smiled and said:
Should we take a breath for Xiliang?
Before Xu Ziling could return, Mai Yunfei shouted from a distance: You two are sitting and lying down in front of the military advisor's house like this. Get out of here and go back to the hall immediately.
Xu Ziling had no reaction and just closed his eyes to enjoy his sunbathing. Kou Zhongze looked at him with squinted eyes and said: Master Mai Xiang, are you deaf and unable to hear Master Guixiang's order for us to wait here for him? Go back and stand guard.
Mai Yunfei's expression changed suddenly, and the four lackeys behind him rushed over and forced the two of them to the river with a fierce voice.
Kou Zhong smiled and said: What? Do you want to take action?
Mai Yunfei was so angry that his handsome face turned green and he said sideways: Stand up!
Kou Zhong calmed down and said: You are neither the gang leader nor our grandfather, why should you shout at us!
Mai Yunfei couldn't help but shouted: Throw them into the river!
The four of them were about to take action when Xu Ziling fell back and stretched out his hands with lightning to grasp the ankles of the two behind him.
Then, while Mai Yunfei and others were shocked, Xu Ziling also used some trick to throw the two of them over their heads and plopped into the river, and struggled to crawl to the other side.
Amidst shouts and shouts, more than ten Zhuhua Gang disciples who were originally guarding the bridge came over.
Clang!
Mai Yunfei and the other two men drew their swords, but then stepped back, obviously waiting for everyone to arrive before they dared to attack. Kou Zhong laughed loudly, flicked the sword out of its sheath, and struck at Mai Yunfei.
Mai Yunfei blocked with his horizontal sword.
when!
Kou Zhong's Jing Zhongyue returned to the sheath.
Mai Yunfei staggered and stumbled five steps before he could stand up, his face became extremely ugly.
At this time, his reinforcements had arrived behind him, but no one dared to step forward and take action.
Xu Ziling also jumped up and pointed in the direction of the opposite bridge and said: When someone comes, are you not breaching your duty by ignoring business and just bullying your own people?
Only then did Mai Yunfei regain his breath, suppress the blood that was boiling endlessly due to Kou Zhong's sword power, and his men turned around to look, and sure enough they saw a group of more than ten riders galloping along the street towards the bridge.
He gave the two of them a hard look and said: I'll settle the score with you later. Then he led his men and hurried back to the bridge.
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked at each other and smiled.
The former shook his head and sighed: Why are there so many domineering people in the world?
The sound of hoofbeats comes from far away.
The two looked at each other in astonishment.
They saw a horse from the cavalry galloping towards them. Sitting on the horse was the beautiful and strong Song Yuzhi, the sister of the Song family.
This unique beauty stopped her horse and looked at them several times arrogantly and coldly from beginning to end, and finally her eyes fell on the Fengzhu logo on their lapels before she frowned and said: Why do you two bastards suddenly suddenly
Is Shan Zhu, who became a disciple of the Zhuhua Gang, plotting something evil?
Although the others did not come over, their attention was focused here.
Kou Zhong smiled slightly and said: Come! Let me introduce this as eldest sister Song Yuzhi.
Then he put his arms around Xu Ziling's shoulders and said: My brother Xu Ziling is handsome enough!
When Song Yuzhi saw that he didn't answer the question, he made fun of himself. His beautiful face sank, and he glanced at Xu Ziling with feigned disdain. Then he showed a fleeting strange look and then hummed: Seeing that you haven't done any evil deeds, leave the city immediately, otherwise I just want to say
Then you can't even think of leaving with your life.
Kou Zhong slapped his forehead fiercely and said: I have forgotten that my brother's head is very valuable. Sister Song, just scream!
See how many people we can bury with us before we are killed?
Song Yuzhi stared at him for a long time, surprisingly unmoved, then turned to Xu Ziling and said: Please advise your brother to go with you! If anyone knows that you are here, you will be in big trouble.
Xu Ziling has always had no good feelings towards the arrogant daughters of wealthy families. They naturally look down on ordinary men and replied lightly: We are not afraid of anyone at all, otherwise we would not be talking to Sister Song here. Song Yuzhi sighed:
Although you have become famous, you are still far behind Li Mi. Think about it!
Kou Zhongqi asked: "Sister Song, have you taken a fancy to this handsome brother of mine? Why is he so kind to him but so harsh to me? After all, the relationship between you and me should be deep."
Song Yuzhi finally couldn't hold back his anger and said: Shut up!
Kou Zhong smiled and pulled Xu Ziling to leave.
Song Yuzhijiao scolded: "Stand still."
There were already three or four riders galloping towards them who were just watching.
Kou Zhong let go of Xu Ziling and stood up quickly, pressing the handle of the knife. His whole body was erect, his eyes were straight, and an unfathomable light shone out from his face. His face became extremely cold, and his whole body exuded an intimidating and powerful aura.
Song Yuzhi felt at this moment that Kou Zhong had turned into a person she didn't recognize at all. He was no longer the cheerful kid he used to be, but a hero who could stand firm before any storm and was not afraid of anyone.
Then Kou Zhong, to everyone's surprise, laughed dumbly, revealed a smile as bright as the sun, shook his head and sighed:
No way! I, Kou Zhong, can't be cruel to Sister Song. After saying this, he laughed and pulled Xu Ziling away.
Song Yuzhi made him so confused by his dramatic changes and the charming tone and expression of a young man that he even forgot to stop him.
※※※
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling sat down against the wall in a secluded alley, as if they had returned to the scene they had when they were fooling around in Yangzhou.
Xu Ziling smiled slightly and said: Does Mr. Zhong want to replace Li Xiuning with her?
Kou Zhong showed an aftertasteful smile, stretched out and said leisurely: An affair between children will only increase the mental burden. I don't mind finding a beauty to spice things up, but I will never be emotional. Business is important and everything else should be put aside. .You can tease this arrogant Sister Song, but if you bother me, Kou Zhong, to please her and flatter her, there is no way I can even think about it. Do you understand?
Xu Ziling said: But what should we do now?
Kou Zhongdao: One is to leave immediately, the other is to stay until tonight and make a big fuss. What do you think?
Xu Ziling shrugged and said: You may or may not agree with what I suggest. According to my opinion, we can't take care of the Zhuhua Gang's affairs and we don't have the energy. Besides, Duan Yucheng and the others are still waiting for us. It's better to do less than to do more. Don't we have enough worries? ?
Kou Zhong chuckled and said, "Don't be so prejudiced against me, okay? When did I, Kou Zhong, dare to disrespect your words, Master Ling? Just as you said, we stole two mule carts and we were afraid enough!"
Xu Ziling asked doubtfully: Where is the mule cart stolen?
Kou Zhong said with a smile: "Of course we can go to Fengzhutang to steal their many mules and mule carts. Lend us two mule carts. It won't be a problem. We can find any excuses to defraud the mule carts. It's all on me."
Xu Ziling said displeasedly: Shen Beichang and Luo Feng were so kind to us, how could they repay kindness with resentment?
Kou Zhongtou said: If you are right, why not go to Yuzhu Hall and see if there is one more thing that is missing?
Xu Ziling immediately understood and said with a bitter smile: You damn bastard, you are going around in circles in the end to make trouble and see if there is any chance to fish in troubled waters.
Kou Zhong laughed and said: No one knows me better than you.
He forcibly pulled Xu Ziling up and lowered his voice and said: Luo Xian, the master of Yuzhutang, just sent Bai Rong to take Xiliang to Yuzhutang. There must be some conspiracy. Let's go and see what's going on. Hey! You can't help but Please care about the lives of Xiliang and Xingrong!
Xu Ziling said: Do you know where Yuzhu Hall is?
Kou Zhong said proudly: Didn't the saint have a saying that you are not ashamed to ask? Don't push back and forth, come on!
Xu Ziling knew that he had no choice but to let him go.
