Kou Zhong helped Yun Yuzhen onto the horse in a graceful manner, and he quickly jumped up and galloped side by side with her out of the gate of the General's Mansion and said with a smile: "The beautiful master is getting more and more beautiful!"
Yun Yuzhen lightly pinched the horse's belly and gave him a white look and said: When did you get rid of this bad habit of talking nonsense?
Kou Zhong laughed dumbly, shook his head, sighed, and stared at the street where there were more and more people and cars, and said calmly: It is said that a country is easy to change, and a nature is hard to change. Fortunately, in the eyes of the beautiful master, the shortcomings of the apprentice may just be the advantages of the apprentice. Although the master looks sad on the surface, but
But I'm really happy about it. Otherwise, Bai I wouldn't be so charming and alluring when I look at him. Yunyu is really scared.
Jiaoxiao said angrily: "As a scoundrel of mine who only knows one way to be narcissistic, I will expel you from the school and never hire you again."
Kou Zhong turned to Xu Ziling and shouted: "Ling! We are expelling Master Meiren'er! From now on, we can do whatever we want."
Xu Ziling smiled and said: Don't harass me to enjoy the scenery of this famous city.
When Kou Zhong saw that Xu Ziling refused to answer, he turned around and lowered his voice to Yun Yuzhen: "I can do whatever I want, Gang Leader Yun, are you afraid?"
Yun Yuzhen caught his eye and gave him a wink and said: I'm afraid I won't accompany you to Jiujiang personally. In my eyes, you and Ling will always be the pair of big children who will never grow up.
Kou Zhong pretended to be surprised and said: Master Beauty, it seems that he has forgotten that I kissed him on the lips and touched him so much.
Yun Yuzhen's pretty face immediately turned red and she looked like she was furious, but she said harshly in a gnat's voice: Have you forgotten that this is a thoroughfare?
People behind you, left and right, are all trying to blame you for saying such rascal things.
Seeing her embarrassment, Kou Zhong said happily: It's exciting enough! Which man can make Master Meiren'er react so strongly? When Yun Yu really couldn't resist, the two of them came to the bottom of Tongjie Building, and Kou Zhong also felt a warning sign.
.
A sudden change occurs.
※※※
A large, beautifully carved flower window in the Tongjie Building, which was about two feet above the ground, suddenly exploded and turned into tens of thousands of powerful wood chips that shot towards the cavalry passing below.
Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong, who were already alert, reacted first.
The moment before Yang Xuyan took action, Xu Ziling had concluded that the target of the most terrifying assassin was not them but Xiangyu Mountain.
This obviously was a carefully calculated move and was by no means a hasty move, because they only arrived in Baling last night. Unless Yang Xuyan was a god, how could he be here to wait for them to come to their doorstep.
Xiangyu Mountain is as important to the Baling Gang as Shen Luoyan is to the Wagang Army, which specializes in intelligence work.
Since the founding of the Baling Gang, the Baling Gang has been engaged in the operation of brothels. Its brothels are all over the country. Therefore, no other force can match the well-informed information. The reason why Xiangyushan was promoted to general is precisely because he is responsible for this key
heavy responsibility.
If he is assassinated, it will be a very serious blow to the Baling Gang.
Xu Ziling dared to pull out the broken jade dagger from his trousers and flick it into the air. When Yang Xuyan's long sword had already shot towards Xiangyu Mountain like a bolt of lightning, aided by the splattering of sawdust like a heavy rain.
Kou Zhong was alarmed and when he looked up, all he saw was a blinding light.
In an instant, he realized what Xu Ziling was feeling: his eyelids were under the pressure of the sword energy and could not see anything.
Anyone who didn't know the mystery would be panicked at this moment. But Kou Zhong was as calm as water in a well. He whipped up his horse whip for a long time and struck hard at the source of the sword energy with a sharp whistling sound.
Xiangyushan, Yunyuzhen and all their followers were in chaos. First, they were shot by sawdust. The weaker guards among them had their body-protecting Zhenqi standing smashed to pieces, and they were turned upside down.
Yun Yuzhen, who is as powerful as Xiang Yushan, was embarrassed because his mount was struck and stumbled, let alone fight back.
Ding!
Xu Ziling's broken jade dagger was placed at the sharp point of Yang Xuyan's thunderous sword.
Yang Xuyan's long sword immediately felt a strange pulling force, which made Xu Ziling block the attack with all his strength. Not only was he unable to break the jade dagger with all his strength, but he almost managed to throw it away.
This world-famous assassin obviously didn't expect anyone to be able to block his killing sword in time, and when he was about to strike quickly, the tip of Kou Zhong's whip had already been whipped into his back.
Even with Yang Xuyan's ability, he could not kill Xu Ziling in this situation. Because he had to deal with Kou Zhong's killing at the same time, he secretly sighed in his heart.
Zheng! Zheng! Zheng!
Xu Ziling suddenly stabbed him three more times before he rose up.
Yang Xuyan blocked his three blows and then used his strength to fly back through the broken window of the street building. At this time, Kou Zhong chased him from below until the whip rolled up to his feet. Little did he know that Yang Xuyan had used something.
Technique: The robe on his body was thrown off and fell like a cloud, covering Kou Zhong.
Xu Ziling was forced to fall to the ground by him, while Kou Zhong moved sideways in the air to avoid the enemy's unexpected and strange move. At this time, Yang Xuyan had already fallen into the hole.
At this point in the fight, everyone saw only Yang Xuyan's ghostly shadow and could not see his form.
At this moment, Xiang Yushan drew out his long sword and shouted: Chase! But he himself knew that Yang Xuyan had already escaped without even a shadow due to his amazing lightness skills.
※※※
Xiao Mian, dressed in royal robes, led the crowd out of the palace to receive them in person, and took the two of them into the lobby. After listening to the thrilling process of Yang Xuyan's assassination of Xiangyu Mountain on the way, he sighed: "Yushan is really a blessing to the sky today, if it weren't for the two brothers here."
It is bound to be more bad than good. It can be seen that our Liang Dynasty is on the way to inherit the destiny, which cannot be changed by human beings.
The emperor of Liang was strong in body and mighty in appearance. He was as tall as Kou and Xu. He was about thirty-five or sixty years old. I wonder if it was really lucky. His whole figure was as radiant as the light. It can be seen from this.
His qigong has reached the level of a first-class master and can compete with the likes of Du Fuwei in a day.
There seems to be a frozen smile on his face forever. This may be because the corners of his mouth are tilted upward in a friendly and pleasant way, but if you look deeper, you will find that there is a kind of frosty composure in his eyes, which can make people feel chilly.
This is a by no means simple underworld tycoon.
Yun Yuzhen at the back said in confusion: When Emperor Yang was still there, Yang Xuyan was still acting on the orders of that faint emperor. Who is he working for now?
Xiangyu Shandao: The most likely reason is that Wang Shichong heard that Wang Shichong’s daughter was born into a beautiful woman and was Yang Xuyan’s favorite beauty.
At this time, everyone walked into the lobby. Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were shocked when they saw it.
They thought it must be a situation where civil servants and generals were separated and guarded by guards on both sides. Little did they know that there were not even guards in the hall. Strangely, Xiao Mian led them straight through the lobby and came to the back where there were two sets of rosewood tables and chairs decorated in a simple and elegant style.
in the hall.
What surprised the two of them even more was that Xiao Mian stopped and sighed: This dragon robe and crown are really uncomfortable to wear.
Then two attendants took off his crown and robe to reveal the scholar's uniform underneath, making Xiao Mian immediately look more elegant.
Seeing the two people staring blankly at him, Xiao Mian laughed dumbly and said: My proclaiming the emperor was forced by the situation. If you don't proclaim the emperor, others will think you have no ambition, will not be attached, and will not be afraid of you. So I always have to pretend in front of outsiders.
Pretending to be an emperor.
But Brother Kou and Brother Xu are already our own people, so there is no need to do anything extra.
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling exchanged glances and could see the confusion in each other's hearts.
As expected, Xiao Mian's method of winning over people is not simple. He is also very clever in being friendly and naturally making people like him without leaving any trace. Xiao Mian calmly smiled and said: Come! Sit down and let's talk!
Under his leadership, Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, Yun Yuzhen and Xiang Yushan sat down around the table.
Xiao Mian turned his back to the large sunny garden outside the window and shook his head and said: It's a pity that Yushan told me that the two brothers have no intention of joining our army. But everyone has their own ambitions. Xiao Mian naturally respects the decision of the two brothers. What's more, the two brothers and I
It is a joy to have become good friends.
Kou Zhong slapped the table and sighed: No wonder the Baling Gang is far more powerful in the hands of the second master than before. Now when he saw the second master, he suddenly realized the reason.
Xiao Mian laughed and said: Brother Kou is really good at flattering others. Let's get down to business. Why are the two brothers so sure about assassinating Ren Shaoming?
He paused for a moment and said in thought: His meteor hammer is on the list of outstanding achievements and special arts, and it is so superb that it can be used far and near. He has never faced an opponent in his life except being killed by Song Que, the Heavenly Sword, and forced to flee Lingnan.
Kou Zhong showed a smile full of strong confidence and said calmly: If you don't take risks, how can you achieve great things?
Yun Yuzhen listened to his heroic words and looked at his smile full of some unspeakable charm, with a confused look in his beautiful eyes.
Kou Zhong seemed to be aware of it and gave her a look back at her with a mean smile. The beautiful gang leader immediately blushed and lowered his head in embarrassment and shame.
Xu Ziling also felt something in his heart, and his opinion of her improved slightly.
However, Xiao Mian seemed to be blind, his eyes fell on Xu Ziling's face and he said gently: Brother Xu seems to be a person who cherishes words like gold.
Xu Ziling shrugged coolly and said: Mr. Xiao misunderstood me, I just don’t know what to do!
Xiao Xian laughed and said: "Well done! I like to make friends with people who have true temperament. Both of them are very affectionate people. This can be seen from the true relationship between the two of them and Mrs. Su Su. Now I can judge the two.
It is too early to say whether we can successfully assassinate Ren Shaoming, but if it is too dangerous, Brother Kou and Brother Xu must bear with him and give up for the time being.
Kou Zhong secretly shouted: "My brothers will bear in mind the second master's advice."
Xiao Xian said: I will accompany you when I go to Yushan and use all manpower and material resources to assist you two. In addition to paying attention to Ren Shaoming, you also need to pay attention to Lin Shihong, who is not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also cunning and vicious, and has many masters under his command, especially among them.
Cui Juexiu, who gave him the title of national master, was both civil and military and was extremely resourceful, so he must be extra careful.
Xu Ziling said in astonishment: General Xiang really does not need to take this risk with us.
Xiang Yushan interjected: Only I know the situation in Jiujiang and can make the most appropriate arrangements. It would be difficult for anyone else to do this.
Xiao Mian said decisively: If you can advance, you must retreat, and if you don't have Yushan to go with you, how can I rest assured that my two brothers must not refuse.
Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong looked at each other and smiled bitterly, wondering what the pros and cons of Ruo Xiangyu Mountain were. How could they explain it to Su Su?
※※※
At dusk, a medium-sized speedboat from the Jukun Gang left Baling and went eastward along the river.
Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong stood at the stern of the ship, watching the sail sailing past the ripples. The sad scene when Su Su said goodbye still appeared in their minds, and they wanted to go back to comfort her and tell her that they would always be by her side.
They all felt that the safety of Xiangyu Mountain had become a heavy burden on their shoulders.
Kou Zhong sighed: I didn't expect Xiao Xian to be such a powerful person. He didn't say a word that Yang Gongbaoku would stick to the position he held in that letter.
Xu Ziling said: This man is very elusive and unpredictable. I am sure that he is a first-class master in martial arts and political strategy. He is much more slippery than his father.
Kou Zhong smiled and said: Every master must have his subordinates. Now I know that Xiangzi stole his lessons from him. Xu Ziling stared at the sky and distant mountains that were rendered like a picture by the afterglow of the sun, and said in a low voice for a long time: Why are we like this?
Don't you like Xiangyu Mountain? Is it a prejudice or jealousy that took Sister Su away from us?
Kou Zhongwei was stunned and thought for a while before saying: Maybe the first impression is very important. First of all, he is a person who runs brothels and casinos. Usually, such people are rarely decent men. Secondly, he succumbed to his power and betrayed us to Peng Lianghui.
The gorgeous lady Ren Meimei always thinks that he is not a reliable person in her heart. Alas! Now I can only hope that he is sincere to Sister Su instead of using her to drive us.
Xuan You smiled and said, "Don't talk about such troublesome things, okay? We have a chance to get out of the ranks of Qingtou right now. I, two brothers, are so loyal to let you get on the horse first!"
Xu Ziling was stunned for a long time before he understood and frowned: "You should know the answer. I would rather you find a girl from a brothel than get involved with Yun Yuzhen."
Kou Zhong smiled and said: The only difference between the beautiful master and the brothel girl is that she can freely choose Lin Shang's opponent, and women as beautiful as her are rare in the brothel. You really have no reason to object. Xu Ziling said lightly: There is another one.
The difference is that the brothel girl trades with money, but you and Yun Yuzhen trade with feelings to see who has to pay the greater price in the end. If you want to use her to control Jukun, I will feel very uncomfortable.
Kou Zhong was silent for a while and whispered: What if I really like her?
Xu Ziling said: If you really like her, you won't compare the brothel girl with her.
Kou Zhong smiled bitterly and said: "Contending for world supremacy is something that cannot be compromised. If I imitate you and stick to principles in everything, but I have to fight with people like Li Mi and Wang Shichong who are ruthless and cunning like foxes, I will die."
There's really not much difference.
Xu Ziling put his hand on Kou Zhong's shoulder and smiled and said: I understand this situation, so I advise you not to get involved in this muddy water. But since you have made great aspirations, I will not stand in the way and make you unable to let go. However,
If you ask me for my opinion, of course I won't go against my will to please you.
The river breeze made their clothes rustle.
Kou Zhong stared blankly at the river and murmured: Sometimes I really don’t know what I am doing. I even think of giving up everything and wandering around with you to live those leisurely days, but I feel that doing so will miss countless moving things. And I really want to
Do your best to help all people live a happy life in this troubled world. Have you forgotten that we have witnessed the terrible disasters caused by war?
Xu Ziling said: This is because everyone has their own ambitions. But if you want to make all people happy, you can choose someone with virtue and help you to achieve your wish.
Kou Zhong sneered and said: "After Yangdi Hunzun has learned from the past, I will never trust anyone again, especially those high-ranking officials who simply look down on us who are from the market. Alas! It's night! It's time to have a good sleep."
Xu Ziling secretly sighed and thought that this was the last time to persuade Kou Zhong to give up his intention to dominate the world. He would never persuade him again on this matter.
※※※
Kou Zhong was in a very low mood after returning to his room. He knew that the differences between him and his good brother were getting bigger and bigger due to their different ideals.
The problem is that neither side will change.
As he paced back and forth in the narrow space of the cabin, he soon entered a state of cultivation where he forgot both things and himself.
His and Xu Ziling's practice methods are exactly the opposite. They move and remain still.
This may be the difference between him and Xu Ziling, one seeking action and the other seeking silence, which eventually evolved into Kou Zhong wanting to come out and compete for world supremacy while Xu Ziling just wanted to retire to the mountains.
Cock! Cock!
A knock on the door woke Kou Zhong from his retreat and pulled the door open to see Yun Yuzhen, who was smiling sweetly, quietly standing outside the door.
Before the conversation with Xu Ziling just now, Kou Zhonghui would have been too late to welcome Yun Yuzhen to his door like this, but now he didn't have the slightest feeling of sexual intercourse between men and women in his heart and said calmly: Are you still asleep?
Yun Yuzhen said softly: I just discussed with Yushan. Can we come in and talk?
Kou Zhong greeted her to the room and sat down, and Yun Yuzhen said: According to the news, Lin Shihong is still serving as Shaoming in Poyang, but he will go to Jiujiang the day after tomorrow because he is infatuated with the most popular girl in Chun Zai Lou in the area.
Gu Huoqi.
Kou Zhong was greatly refreshed and asked: Is Chun Zailou a member of the Baling Gang?
Yunyu Zhendao: How could the Baling Gang have such ideals? The four big casinos and two brothels of the Baling Gang there were razed to the ground on the first day when the Poyang army entered the city. Now the people of the Baling Gang living there are sneaky.
If his identity is revealed, he will die immediately.
Kou Zhong frowned and said: How do we enter the city?
Yun Yuzhendao: This is easy because we have pinned down Du Fuwei's Jianghuai Army, the main force of the Cavalry Association, in Panyu and forced Lin Shihong to send troops to Xin'an County in the south of Liyang. Therefore, Jiujiang's military strength is not strong and the city defense is lax. Moreover, Lin Shihong rules with high pressure.
Indulging the gangsters of the Iron Cavalry to rape women was so unpopular that the discipline of the newly recruited militia group responsible for defending the city was so weak that no one was willing to sincerely work for Lin Shihong. Some of the officers were even bribed by us.
Kou Zhong pondered for a while and said: Then we must kill Ren Shaoming before Lin Shihong arrives. Do you know if there are any masters around him?
Yunyu Zhendao: Ren Shaoming is extremely conceited about his martial arts. He always travels lightly and only has four or five people with him. But these people are all top-notch experts. If anyone from Evil Monk Fa Nan or Yanni Changzhen attacks him, the number of attacks will be doubled.
risk.
Kou Zhong asked: Who are these two people so powerful?
Yun Yuzhendao: These two are the heroes who established the Iron Cavalry Association for Ren Shaoming. It is said that Ren Shaoming has the blood of the Tiele people, or even King Tiele sent him to the Central Plains to stir up trouble in a hidden identity, so he was very cruel to us Han people.
The evil monk is always in trouble in Jiangnan dramas. Robbers, arsonists, robbers, and robbers do everything. After arousing public anger, they finally took refuge in Ren Shaoming. Under his protection, he continued to commit evil acts. Until now, no one can do anything to him.
Kou Zhongqi asked: Is he really a monk?
Yun Yubing shrugged and said: No one knows this, and no outside sect is willing to admit him as a disciple. All we know is that he likes to wear red robes and has a shaved head. He keeps calling himself a poor monk, so he is called an evil monk.
Kou Zhongda asked with interest: How can Yanni be as beautiful as a flower and as poisonous as a snake or scorpion?
Yun Yuzhen glared at him and said: You men really can't afford beautiful women who look lustful and have evil intentions.
At this time, Kou Zhong had forgotten the unpleasant conversation he had just had with Xu Ziling and said with a smile: "Since the beautiful master is here, I have free time to think about other women."
Yun Yuzhen gave him a charming look and continued: Yanni is the woman of the evil monk, but she often hooks up with other men, causing a mess and turning a blind eye to the law. We suspect that Yanni is really the most mysterious and evil person in the world.
The disciples of the Yingui sect and even Fa Nan are from the same origin, but it cannot be confirmed!
Kou Zhong was shocked.
Yun Yuzhen said: These evil monks and nuns are the protectors of the Iron Cavalry Association, just like Ren Shaoming's left and right arms. If they had not protected Ren Shaoming desperately, he would have died in the hands of Song Que, the Heavenly Sword.
Kou Zhong said solemnly: Then kill them all in one fell swoop!
Yun Yuzhen said angrily: The evil monk Yanni was once his enemy all over the world, but he is still alive and well. Do you think it's just their luck?
Kou Zhong stretched himself and stood up and said: It's night! Why not sleep?
Yun Yuzhen stood up and said: It's better to go to bed early. After arriving in Jiujiang, it will be difficult to have such a relaxing moment.
Kou Zhong boldly walked to the door, pulled the latch, stretched out his finger and flicked the oil lamp to extinguish it, and the room was immediately plunged into darkness.
Yun Yu was really startled and shouted: What are you doing?
Kou Zhong suddenly moved behind her, stretched out his long arms, hugged her from behind, rubbed her belly with his hands, bit her helix, and said: Master, please help me!
Yun Yuzhen was so hugged by him that her delicate body was limp and her mind was dazed. She picked him up by his waist and put her on the bed without even saying a word of protest.
