A crisp bird song came from the high wall of Chunzai Building. Kou Zhong looked around and saw that no one was busy responding with bird song.
Xu Ziling climbed down the wall and walked with Kou Zhong to a side alley in the distance before stopping on the trail: everything was arranged properly and according to plan, five silkworm lines were pulled up at the designated trees in the courtyard. How is your situation there?
Kou Zhong said proudly: "Of course there is no problem. Let's go to the restaurant we visited this morning and have a little something to eat before we follow the plan."
Most of the noisy restaurant was filled with people from all over the world, and the topic was inseparable from the incident where Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling and Princess Dongming caused a big fuss in Chun Zai Lou last night.
Kou Zhong raised his ears and listened carefully for a moment, his eyebrows dancing with joy and he said: So our reputation in the world is so good! Xu Ziling said solemnly: Let's wait until tonight!
Kou Zhongtou said: I am such a bad person and can easily get carried away! I wonder where Feng Shihan and the smelly princess are hiding? If the smelly princess hides in a room, her virginity will definitely be compromised.
Xu Ziling said nonchalantly: I don't have time to think about this kind of thing now. Instead, I am worried that Song Yuzhi will not leave the city without knowing it!
Kou Zhong sighed in silence for a while: It seems that you really don't take Shan Wanjing to heart, otherwise it would be a little unnatural to hear me look like this.
Xu Ziling laughed and scolded: What a good boy! You actually tried to test my motives. It’s almost time to go!
The two of them paid and went downstairs and stepped out onto the street. Their expressions changed at the same time.
I saw the big, round moon just showing its fairy shape in the eastern horizon. The cloudless night sky and the moonlight shining all over Jiujiang City are completely different from the clouds covering the sky last night.
Kou Zhong lost his voice and said: Damn it! Under such a bright moon, as long as someone raises his head to admire the moon, we will be finished.
Xu Ziling whispered: "There are so many people, so go elsewhere."
After a while, the two of them entered the courtyard of a large house, took off their coats to disguise themselves, and wiped off the powder on their faces to reveal their true colors. They were wearing tight-fitting black night clothes underneath.
Kou Zhong took out the sword and whip that he had hidden there first and put them on before he said with a wry smile: "How can you expect Yue'er to come out so quickly?"
Xu Ziling said, "There's no point in complaining. Let's go check out the situation first. If we know we can't do anything, we can just leave by the waterway."
The two of them ran up and down and soon arrived at the back of the restaurant where they had just been tiled, looking towards Chun from the building and taking a closer look.
Kou Zhong was surprised and said: Strange! Why are there no such things as bright posts and hidden sentries? Could it be that Ren Shaoming is afraid of death and dare not come? What do you think?
The ten courtyards in the backyard of Chunzailou were specially designed to entertain distinguished guests. They were all brightly lit and the sound of orchestral strings, strings and bamboos could be heard. Because it was still early, there were only occasional maidservants walking around in the garden.
Xu Ziling took a deep breath and said: I feel uneasy.
Kou Zhong was stunned for a long while and said in a low voice: Should we pay the money and withdraw our troops?
Xu Ziling slowly shook his head, his eyes flashed with a brilliance that Kou Zhong had never seen before, and he said calmly: If we don't know the truth and retreat before the battle, this will leave flaws and scars in our hearts that are difficult to mend! We will never be able to achieve our goals.
Reaching the pinnacle of martial arts also means that we are still afraid of death.
Kou Zhong let out a heavy sigh of pride and courage that surged in his heart and said excitedly: Well done! Even if the enemy opens a snare and waits for us brothers, we must go deep into the tiger's den to pull out Ren Shaoming's beard. This is called Zhuzhu.
After death came life.
Xu Ziling looked at the river flowing towards Chun Zailou: This river crosses Chun Zailou's backyard. Everyone with a discerning eye knows that it is a shortcut to sneak into Chun Zailou, so we must not go through the water.
Kou Zhong sighed: The question is whether Shaoming Ren will come or not? If he comes, there will be a dense swarm of experts near Chunyuan. Since he cannot go from the air, he can only go on the ground. It is really difficult to avoid being trapped in a tight siege and dying in a fierce battle.
Xu Ziling smiled and said: Do you see the fishing line tied between two trees?
Kou Zhong's eyes fell on the 20-foot-long space across the two old banyan trees in the backyard of the building. Due to the shadow of the trees and the moonlight, it was still difficult for his eyesight to see the fishing line he had tied with his own hands, so he shook his head.
Xu Ziling said: I once conducted an experiment. As long as you rush upward to a distance of about one foot and you can detect the faint reflection of the fishing line, you can accurately grasp the position of the fishing line.
Kou Zhong said thankfully: If he had used a dark rope, he would have nothing to hide under the moonlight.
Xu Ziling said calmly: We must change our plan. When we are sure that Ren Shaoming has arrived in the Spring Garden, we will rush into the Spring Garden with a thunderous force. If we miss a hit, we will immediately fly away on the fishing line. This will surprise the enemy.
You can't even touch the tail of our shirts.
The two of them studied the route and method of breaking through, then hid themselves and took turns monitoring the situation in Chunyuan, waiting for Qingjiao Ren Shaoming to take over.
While observing the increasingly lively Chunzai Tower from a distance, Kouzhong said softly: We wanted to go to Luoyang from the very beginning, but we still can't go there today. We will go north immediately after returning to Baling. Should we stop by Luoyang on the way?
?
Xu Ziling was lying on his back with Chun Zai on his back, counting the stars in the sky in the shadow of the tile slope of the building where the moon could not shine. Hearing this, he sighed:
Don't overestimate your own luck. Moreover, He Shibi is also involved in the nun master Cihang Jingzhai's heart. If you walk around in circles, it will affect your younger brother.
Kou Zhong said distressedly: I guessed it right for you again, can you act stupid?
Xuan sighed again: It seems to me that Song Yuzhi has a much better impression of you than of me. Hey! Are you interested? She is definitely not worse than Shan Wanjing or Shen Luoyan, right?
Xu Ziling said displeased: Don't you know that her father married her into her husband's family?
Kou Zhong said: I don't believe that the world can change this, let alone a verbal engagement? But it's really strange why she hasn't married yet when she should be eighteen years old? There must be something wrong with it.
Xu Ziling said calmly: Just do whatever you want. Why make so many excuses?
Kou Zhong suddenly shouted: My mother! Ren Shaoming is here.
Xu Ziling turned over and climbed to Kou Zhong's side. He stuck his head out of the tile slope and looked in the direction of Chun Zai Lou Chun Garden. He saw only numerous figures. Although he couldn't see clearly who was coming, he always knew that a big shot was here. Otherwise, there would be so many followers.
.
More than ten people filed into Spring Garden, leaving only four bodyguards standing guard outside the door.
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked at each other.
Isn't Ren Shaoming not afraid of assassination?
Kou Zhong said: Could it be a trap? But maybe he really thought we had escaped long ago.
Xu Ziling smiled bitterly and said: Now we can only ask God for blessings!
The two of them fell off the tiles and flew up to another house as fast as ghosts. Then they dived along the grass and trees beside the river to the outer wall of Chunzai Building. The water channel below the house was inaccessible. They climbed over the high wall and landed in the backyard of Chun Zai Building.
Without stopping, he ran up to a nearby large tree with dense leaves in the flowerbed to observe the situation from a high position.
The sound of laughter and silk and bamboo could be heard from all ten villas. The Spring Garden, which was separated by one villa, was particularly noisy.
Except for the four big men guarding the main entrance, there were no bodyguards around Chunyuan.
Xu Ziling came out of the fishing line again and said: Let's search separately to see if Ren Shaoming has sent someone to bury him in the dark. Then we will meet on the big tree behind Spring Garden and then decide how to start.
Kou Zhongtou promised that the two of them would separate immediately.
※※※
A quarter of an hour later, they arrived at the elm tree at the back of Spring Garden, which was taller than other courtyards.
Xu Ziling sighed: This is unreasonable. Even if Ren Shaoming was not worried about his subordinates, he would not be so negligent.
Kou Zhong looked at the tiles in the Spring Garden below and smiled bitterly: "I think it's inappropriate too, but maybe Ren Shaoming doesn't take us or anyone else to heart at all. If we retreat like this, we may have missed a golden opportunity? I really want to go first." He could take a peek, but he would definitely not be able to hide it from Ren Shaoming's eyes and ears.
Xu Ziling said solemnly: We rushed into the Spring Garden from left to right. As soon as we saw the pockmarked strong man with a blue dragon tattooed on his forehead, we immediately killed him. If it was a trap, break out from the front door. Remember that the No. 7 life-saving fishing line is fifteen feet away from the door. It was between two big trees. The two of them made up their minds and rushed out quickly, falling onto the tile surface silently, then turned left and right to break through.
Bang! Bang!
The window ︻wooden frame is shattered.
The two of them entered the lobby of Spring Garden at the same time.
In an instant, their eyes scanned the entire hall and they knew they had been tricked.
There are two tables at the end of the hall facing the main entrance, where more than ten big men are sitting. Not only are there no people who look like Qingjiao Ren Shaoming, there are not even brothel girls and maids half on the table. Instead of wine and food, all kinds of weapons are waiting for you.
When Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling bounced off the ground, enemies were already swarming towards them.
The two met in the hall and were about to rush through the main entrance before being entangled by the enemy. Suddenly there was a sound of wind and a colorful cloud was thrown from the main beam to the two of them, making them unable to leap up.
At the same time, countless torches lit up outside the Spring Garden. The outside was as bright as day, but no shouting could be heard.
In just a few moments, the two of them went from elusive assassins to fish in a net, trapped in a tight siege.
The sharp and cold Qi force came over me.
Kou Zhong shouted and stabbed upward with his big knife.
Xu Ziling, on the other hand, held up his right palm with both hands as if lifting a thousand-jin stone, but his left palm was erratic, giving rise to an extremely strange feeling.
A bald beauty suddenly appeared among the colorful clouds, it was Yanni Changzhen.
Her big, enchanting eyes are dark and bright, her delicate face is glowing with a healthy blush, her thin eyebrows are as thin as silk, the lower corners of her eyes are slanted upward, her cheekbones are high, her nose is pink, her lips are evenly matched with white teeth, and they are as bright as the sun. It shines brightly on the two of them.
Peng!
The jade face disappeared and the colorful clouds pressed down quickly.
Kou Zhong felt that the place where the sword was stabbed was soft and unable to exert any strength, so he drew the sword and retreated towards the gate.
Xu Ziling's right palm with Shen Xiong's palm power also melted away the opponent's long clothes, which were as bright as clouds. Instead, he used the Yin power from his left palm to fight with the opponent head-on.
The evil Qi that seemed to be unbiased and capable of seizing people's souls penetrated into Xu Ziling's palms. He rolled down to the ground in shock and used the rolling force to dispel the opponent's Qi.
Yanni Chang is really not feeling well either.
She didn't look down on the two of them trying to win in one fell swoop, but she didn't know that the difference between their cold and hot Qi made it very difficult for her to resolve them.
Fortunately, her master's secret skill, Caiyi, is not only capable of ever-changing changes, but is also the best at dissolving the family's internal energy so that she will not be injured on the spot.
However, the confrontation with Xu Ziling's left palm could not be resolved because they were both feminine, so they had to fight hard.
Chang Zhen groaned and threw his whole body upward.
At this time, Kou Zhong rushed to the closed door and kicked it with his feet.
boom!
When the wooden door was broken open, four spears stabbed at it. There were many people outside, and due to the firelight, it was hard to see how many people were outside for a while.
There are more warning signs behind the scenes.
That was the inaudible sound of a hidden weapon breaking through the wind.
At this moment, Kou Zhong had to make a decision. He could only choose between breaking out of the door or dealing with the hidden weapon fired from behind.
As long as he dodges a little, the four spearmen will rush in, which may cause him to lose his only chance to reach the No. 7 fishing line forever.
At this moment, he not only forgot about fighting for world supremacy, but also forgot about the issue of saving his life. He secretly thought that even if he was killed by a hidden weapon, before dying, he could still carve out a bloody path to give his good brother a chance to escape.
Kou Zhong yelled wildly, and thousands of rays of light surged from the long sword in his hand. The man and the sword seemed to merge into one, and their speed surged like arrows, shooting towards the four spearmen who were about to climb the steps.
At this time, Xu Ziling rolled behind Kou Zhong and looked from his angle, just in time to see Yan Ni, who was thrown back. Chang Zhen shook his hand in the air and shot out a thin needle like hair, hitting Kou Zhong's back and neck, as if a group of people were angry. of poisonous bees.
The thirteen big men who were originally sitting at the table also pounced less than a foot away from him and Kou Zhong. If they stayed for a moment, they would immediately be entangled in a bitter fight.
The situation is even worse than that.
Someone rushed in from the windows on the left and right at the same time. If they stayed in the hall, they would be in danger of death.
This is basically a well-designed trap. The enemy seems to know their actions well. They first disguise themselves as various guests and go to other courtyards near Spring Garden. Therefore, although there are no ambushes around Spring Garden, in fact, there are ambushes everywhere. Then the current encirclement situation can be formed.
Xu Ziling flicked his hands in a circle and magically absorbed all the fine needles shot by Chang Zhen into the energy between his palms, then turned in a circle and pushed them out.
The ox-hair needle turned into a diffuse light that completely enveloped the twelve big men who rushed towards them.
Amid the screams, the men hid in a panic, and five people were still injured and fell to the ground.
Xu Ziling didn't know why he became so powerful and had no time to think about it. He quickly retreated until his back was about to touch Kou Zhong who was rushing out of the door. When his left hand flashed out, he held the sword that was attacking Kou Zhong's back.
The two people spurted blood and fell down due to the violent vomiting of internal energy.
He then threw the sword with his backhand and stabbed it into the chests of the other two enemies who were about to attack.
The two of them finally arrived at the open space under the steps of the main entrance of Spring Garden, still thirteen feet away from fishing line No. 7.
But it seemed as far away as thousands of rivers and mountains.
Enemies swarmed out of the gate leaving them with no way out.
Under the light of countless torches, they were surrounded by hundreds of enemies, making them trapped in layers of siege. If they wanted to move further, they would have to expend an effort that was like moving mountains and seas.
Every time Kou Zhong struck with his sword, he used enough force. Wherever the sword passed, there was a circle of light and rainbow. Either some people fell back in response to the sword, or the enemy was knocked back.
Suddenly attacking from the left and right with spears and knives, both of them were extremely skilled, showing that they were the outstanding players in the enemy's formation.
At this time, Kou Zhong not only forgot about life and death, but his soul was as quiet as the moon in a well, reflecting every change in this tragic battlefield.
He quickly judged that in terms of time, it was absolutely impossible to fend off the weapons attacking from two different angles at the same time before the gun and knife touched his body.
In normal times, he could still cope with it by changing his position, but now it was a lot of pressure to move even a little bit, and if he got out of the way, Xu Ziling would definitely suffer.
With an angry roar, the long sword was drawn diagonally towards the enemy's right shoulder, faster than lightning.
There was a sound, and Kou Zhong fell back with blood spattering on the enemy holding the knife. At the same time, blood spattered on his right shoulder.
When the enemy grabbed him and slid him to the side, he was still trying to change his gun. The man was already kicked to the side by him, causing blood to spurt out and he fell.
The enemy formation immediately became chaotic. Seeing the opportunity, Kou Zhong used his swords and swords to attack and rushed forward.
Xu Ziling took over all offensives from Kou Zhong's rear, leaving Kou Zhong without any worries.
The most powerful thing is that whenever the enemy counterattacks and the energy and blood are churning or the strength is exhausted, as long as the backs of Kou Zhong and Kou Zhong are in contact, the two people's energy can complement each other to maintain strong strength.
He concentrated his true strength on his limbs. Whenever his limbs touched the enemy's weapon, he would immediately use the object to transmit his force, causing the enemy to fall back. Those with less skill would immediately fall to the ground.
At this time, the two spears came together and created a whirlwind that made people unable to breathe. It was obvious that the attacker was no ordinary mediocre attacker.
Xu Ziling was unafraid to ignore the many wounds on his body, flipping with his left hand and slapping with his right hand to forcefully penetrate the opponent's spear point, his technique was exquisite and unparalleled.
Snapped!
The man who hit the tip of the spear with his right hand leaned to the left and bumped into the other spear-holder.
Xu Ziling had already grabbed the spear of the person being hit and hit him in the stomach at the same time.
When the two fell to the ground, Xu Ziling held the spear in his hand and followed Kou Zhong as he retreated. At the same time, thousands of phantoms appeared from the spear, forcing the enemy to stagger around and expose a large open space.
At this time, we were still ten feet away from fishing line No. 7.
when!
A crisp sound shook the whole place.
At the same moment, Xu Ziling felt Kou Zhong slam into his back, and the energy came through his body.
The surrounding enemies retreated in all directions like a tide.
Xu Ziling used his strength to move the enemy Qi Jin into Kou Zhong's body, then turned around and moved his gun to attack the enemy who forced Kou Zhong to retreat.
when!
The man used his staff to sweep the gun and forcefully swung Xu Ziling's spear away. The shadow of his staff pressed down hard, forcing both of them to take half a step back at the same time.
The two of them were horrified that the terrifying enemy did not take advantage of the situation and instead took three steps back and stood up with a staff across the stick. It was a tall and fierce bald monk wearing a red monk's robe with a steel hoop on his forehead.
The evil monk is in trouble.
With him guarding the escape route, they could never hope to retreat to fishing line No. 7.
At this time, more than ten enemies formed a large circle and they became caged birds, and the fish in the net had no way to escape.
Cold snorts and coquettish laughter came from behind.
A very seductive female voice said: Brother Fanan! You are so eager to eat these two pretty boys, how can you tell them to turn around and appreciate the slave family?
Fa Nan's giant eyes showed a smile, and he put the heavy iron staff on his shoulders and walked around Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling from one side to the other side.
The two of them slowly turned around and had no time to look at Yanni, who finally came face to face with Ren Shaoming, the Qingjiao who was as famous as the Heavenly Sword Song Que and Lin Shihong in the south, and they were the target they wanted to assassinate.
