Kou Zhong patted Song Yuzhi's door and asked, "Can I come in for a few words?"
Song Yuzhi responded: If only two sentences are enough.
Kou Zhong sighed and pushed the door open.
The room was completely dark, except for the moonlight that slanted through the cabin window and shone into the unlit room, which just covered Song Yuzhi, who was sitting alone on the chair, in a faint golden light.
This beauty's dark hair hung down freely and freely on her shoulders. Her eyes were like a pair of deep and bright gems, staring at him intently.
Kou Zhong's mental drama shocked him to realize that her feminine temperament and appearance were by no means inferior to Li Xiuning.
Song Yuzhi said impatiently: Don't you have a few words to say? Then get out of here.
Kou Zhong smiled bitterly and said: I came here today to admit my mistake to Sister Song and cancel the engagement. From now on, Kou Zhong will not dare to have any delusions about Sister Song.
It's time to leave.
Song Yuzhi was stunned and said: Get back here!
Kou Zhong's hand was already holding the door knocker. He stood still when he heard the words and said bitterly behind her back: It's my fault that I shouldn't have connected Yang Gong's treasure trove and my sister's life events like a sectarian deal.
Song Yuzhi was silent for a while and then said softly: How about sitting down?
Kou Zhong shook his head and sighed: Now I just want to hide alone and think hard. These days, my mind is full of how to compete with others and win. Other things have been ignored. I really need to reflect.
Song Yuzhi raised her beautiful eyebrows and said with some uncontrollable anger: "Sit down for me, girl. If you slip away like this, people will hate you forever."
Kou Zhong turned around like a whirlwind and asked: Don't you hate me already? Is that a lie? Song Yuzhi avoided his sharp eyes and said: Why did you look at me like an idiot when you came in just now?
.
Kou Zhong moved to her seat and got down on one knee, grabbing the armrest with his right hand and sighed: Because I suddenly felt that you are so touching, I couldn't help but feel admiration for you, and I reflected on all my mistakes.
Song Yuzhi could not avoid looking at him at an audible distance, recalling the scene of pressing him to the ground that day, her heart trembling secretly: "Can you get up first and sit next to him?"
When Kou Zhong was surprisingly cooperative and sat down, Song Yuzhi whispered: What do you want?
Kou Zhong scratched his head and said, "What does Sister Song mean?"
Song Yuzhi replied calmly and calmly: Of course it means what is the purpose of striving for world hegemony?
Kou Zhong's eyes immediately lit up and he said: Sister Song is the first person to ask me this question, even Ling is not interested in knowing.
After a pause, he said solemnly: I was born in the market and I deeply understand how miserable and painful the lives of the people are when the rulers lose all their benevolence and justice. Alas! At the beginning, I just wanted to join the rebel army with the most ideals and prospects. Little did I know.
The people we have encountered like Du Fuwei and Li Mi are all profit-seeking and ruthless gangsters. It will never be a good thing if they become emperors. And since they can fight for the world, why can't I, Kou Zhong? People are the most important thing.
It's ambitious.
He sighed again and said: The problem is that I have also realized that if you want to conquer the world, you must not talk about benevolence and righteousness and let benevolence and righteousness tie your hands and feet everywhere. So in the eyes of Sister Song, I became a person who will do whatever it takes to pursue the goal. Hey! In fact, I
Just want to kill two birds with one stone!
Song Yuzhi was silent.
Kou Zhong stood up, stretched his waist in an exaggerated manner and said: I'm going back to my room! Hee! He felt much better after saying this.
Song Yuzhi said softly: Kou Zhong, do you know? My father and second uncle will never marry me to someone of your background. You are playing tricks and they are also playing tricks.
Kou Zhong lost his voice and said: What?
Song Yuzhi Yingying moved in front of him, stared at him and said, "Why don't you ask dad who betrothed me to?"
Do you care or don't you care?
Kou Zhong said awkwardly: I didn't dare to ask.
Song Yuzhi said calmly: Even if you ask your second uncle, you won't tell me that my future husband's family is Li Tianfan, Li Mi's only son. This marriage was only arranged a year ago. As soon as Li Mi attacks Luoyang, I will marry into the Li family, do you understand?
Kou Zhong was stunned and speechless after hearing this. Song Yuzhi stretched out her jade hand and caressed his cheek and said with a smile:
Mr. Kou, please go back to your room and rest! Fighting for the world will never be easy, but I really hope you can succeed.

Xu Ziling put out the oil lamp and opened the door to leave. He was still thinking about Kou Zhong's seemingly true and false introspection and confession just now. He was in a trance, full of worry and joy, when the fragrant wind hit him.
He naturally stepped back, only to find that a hot and delicate body had slipped into his arms, and her slender hands wrapped around his neck, sealing his mouth with her fragrant lips.
Only then did Xu Ziling wake up, grabbing the other person's shoulders and gently pushing her away. His handsome face turned red and he said: It's me!
Yun Yuzhen's delicate body trembled and she stepped back violently, her cheeks burned.
Xu Ziling replied with a natural and unrestrained smile: This will be a beautiful and beautiful memory for me. Then he went back to his room.
※※※
When the ship arrived at Baling, Xiao Xian came out of the city in person to greet him. Another general, Marshal Zhang Xiu from the left, was also there. This man was short in stature but had a huge and disheveled head, but his eyes were calm and sharp enough to see into the hearts of others.
When he stared at him, it felt like he was being interrogated with his eyes. According to what Xiang Yushan said before, his martial arts was better than that of Marshal Dong Jingzhen on the right, only inferior to Xiao Xian.
Of course, Su Su was included in the welcoming team. She was overjoyed to see her husband and two brothers return safely and have made great achievements.
What made Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling even more excited was that Duan Yucheng, Bao Zhifu, Shi Jie and Ma Gui all came.
These four boys were covered in scars because they had been repeatedly intercepted by thieves on the way, but they were all in high spirits at the moment, showing that their martial arts skills had improved greatly due to training.
Xiao Mian showed his gratitude to the two of them, and treated Song Yuzhi even more politely as a polite corporal. Of course, he thought of the benefits of joining forces with the Song clan.
That night, Xiao Mian held a banquet to celebrate and praised the two of them profusely.
After the banquet, Song Yuzhi stayed behind to talk secretly with Xiao Mian, and they returned to the General's Mansion in Xiangyu Mountain.
On the way, Susu reminded them of the promise they had made to accompany her on sightseeing trips in the past few days.
The two of them were deeply attached to her, and Fu Junma happily agreed to treat her like this.
Back in the mansion, the three siblings were talking about their separation and laughing happily in the garden pavilion of the mansion. When Xiangyushan came in hastily, he sat down and said: The cavalry club has split into three groups. One has gone to Lin Shihong, one has attached to Shen Faxing, and the rest are
The people who vowed to avenge Ren Shaoming were led by Evil Monk and Yanni.
Su Su's face turned pale and she said: What should we do?
Xu Ziling glared at Xiang Yushan displeasedly and blamed him for frightening Susu.
Kou Zhong asked in surprise: Why does this happen?
Xiang Yushan first apologized to Xu Ziling and then comforted Su Sucai, saying: The quality of the cavalry club is mixed, good and bad.
There have always been different opinions on who to form an alliance with. Only because they were frightened by Ren Shaoming's authority did they seem to be united. When Ren Shaoming's big tree fell, the hozens underneath naturally fell into pieces.
Kou Zhong said happily: This should be a good thing for the south. The Iron Cavalry is just a group of organized thieves. If they are allowed to gain power, the civilians will be the first to suffer.
Xu Ziling rarely heard him speak for the country but kept silent for the people and glanced at him strangely.
Xiangyushan Road: The news of Ren Shaoming's death is still limited to the south, but it has caused a lot of confusion. When it spreads to the north, no one knows what consequences it will cause.
Kou Zhonghu asked: What is your relationship with Li Mi?
Xiangyu Shandao: In the past, because we were working for Yang Guang and Li Mike were in opposition, the relationship was always bad. But there was no direct conflict, so the relationship was in a very delicate state. Why did you suddenly ask this question?
At this time, Yun Yuzhen came, and Kou Zhong changed the topic without answering Xiang Yushan.
※※※
Song Yuzhi didn't come back until very late that night, and everyone was already asleep. The next morning, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling accompanied Su Su for a walk, but she still didn't get up. It wasn't until everyone returned home that they realized she had left quietly.
After dinner, Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling and Duan Yucheng discussed the route to the north and then returned to their rooms to rest.
Kou Zhong followed Xu Ziling back to his room to take credit and said: Mr. Ling! I will listen to your words this time! Last night I personally canceled the marriage to Song Yuzhi, and this morning she left without saying goodbye.
Xu Ziling said curiously: You don't seem to have any unpleasant feelings about her leaving.
Kou Zhong sat down slumped and looked at Xu Ziling, who was standing by the bed, looking like he was about to lie down on the bed. He smiled bitterly and said: "If you haven't been hit, I'm lying to you. But with so many headaches in front of me, I have time to worry about myself."
Girls are like butterflies, let them fly away! Ha! Not only do we have no luck with brothels, we also have no luck with beauties. All the beauties seem to have a grudge against us.
Xu Ziling raised the curtain and sat down on the edge of the bed. Hearing this, his heart ached when he thought of Chuan Junma and Sister-in-law Zhen.
Now only the closest sister Su is left, but her happiness is determined by Xiangyu Mountain. Is life really so helpless?
Kou Zhong muttered: This trip to the north will be the most dangerous journey. We have so many enemies that we can’t even figure them out.
Xu Ziling took a deep breath and said: Starting from tomorrow, we will give Duan Yucheng and the others the most rigorous training so that they can at least have the ability to protect themselves.
Kou Zhongtou said: How many days should we stay here? Sister Su will definitely blame us if we leave too early.
Xu Ziling said: Let's stay with Sister Su for ten more days! By the way, we can also train them well.
Kou Zhong agreed and said: Just follow your words.
Xu Ziling asked: What about Master Meiren'er?
Kou Zhong said: Of course she wants to go north with us, but who will take care of her own affairs?
Xuan lowered his voice and said: "Xiangzi told me privately that she was dating Duguce and that's why she refused to leave Baling. It would be more difficult for this woman to focus on a man than to pick the bright moon from the sky."
Xu Ziling frowned and said: Why would Xiangzi tell you such a thing? This is not like his style.
Kou Zhong snorted coldly: "Of course I followed the order of that old fox Xiao Xian to try to destroy the relationship between me and Master Meiren'er. Now the Haisha Gang has suffered a serious setback. The only ones left are the Jukun Gang, the Shuilong Gang and the Dajiang Gang to attack Xiao Xianlai Meiren."
Master is much more important than us.
Xu Ziling said solemnly: "We warned Xiangzi just now. If Sister Su is not happy at all, I will only ask him."
Kou Zhong laughed and said, "For God's sake, he doesn't dare to bully Sister Su! Even now, I still don't understand why Sister Su is willing to marry him."
Xu Ziling let out a breath and said: There is no point in talking about this issue now.
After a pause, he said: Do you know why I had to stay for ten days? Although you agreed, I know you just had no choice.
Kou Zhong said in astonishment: I really have never thought about this. I just think that accompanying Sister Su is the most important thing at the moment. As long as I am with her, I will feel relaxed and contented.
Xu Ziling said apologetically: I was thinking wrong. I think evil monk Yanni and other evil people will definitely come to seek our misfortune. If we can severely injure them before embarking on our journey, our journey will be much smoother!
Kou Zhong frowned and said: This is the territory of the Baling Gang. Do they dare to come and run wild?
Xu Ziling smiled and said: We killed Ren Shaoming on their territory, and they naturally had to kill us on our territory to show their majesty. So unless they don't come, they will use thunderous momentum to cause the greatest damage in the shortest time.
of killing and destruction.
Kou Zhong raised his eyebrows and sneered: "So they will send people to step on the plate first to find out the news. If we can seize these vanguard troops, we can give them a head-on blow before they move!"
Xu Ziling smiled lightly and said: If I were them, they would take advantage of us and Sister Su to take advantage of our trip. Right? Kou Zhong's eyes immediately lit up.
Xu Ziling continued: Once we transport salt to the north, the enemy will expose us and we will be at an absolutely passive disadvantage, which is very unwise tactically. If we cannot take the initiative back, I dare to say that we will never reach Guanzhong. Kou Zhong said in surprise:
Nothing happens today! You seem to have never been so enthusiastic and positive about these things.
Xu Ziling moved to the window and looked up at the starry sky outside the window with his hands behind his hands and said: The moment I killed Ren Shaoming, I suddenly felt that I was embarking on another journey of life. But I also knew clearly that we had been entangled with several evil forces.
When entering the whirlpool of the great era, there is no way to avoid it. One is to choose suicide, or the other is to face the possibility that there is no third possibility.
Kou Zhong turned around and saw that he was staring at him with strange eyes and asked in surprise: Why are you looking at me like this?
Kou Zhonghuo stood up and said: Because just now you showed the momentum and demeanor of a generation of masters. The most rare thing is that it is so smooth and natural.
Xu Ziling smiled and said: Stop flattering me. Don't you think your attitude has changed significantly recently?
Pretending to be submissive and listening to my teachings, he often used high-sounding words to try to trick me.
Kou Zhong patted him on the shoulder vigorously and laughed and said: Sometimes you don't have to be so honest. I missed one thing and didn't tell you who Song Yuzhi's future husband is, who is my mother! She is actually Li Mi's only son.
Xu Ziling knew that he had deliberately diverted to another place, but he still couldn't help shouting: What?
Kou Zhong let go of the hand on his shoulder and leaned against the window railing, looking towards the vast moonlit night and said with shining eyes:
This is a political deal between the Song clan and the Wagang army, so that the north and the south can be used to deal with the Li clan in the northwest. Therefore, if we don't try to break the alliance between the north and the south, the world will eventually fall into Li Mi's hands.
Xu Ziling smiled bitterly and said: Do you want to convince me to allow you to use Song Yuzhi?
Kou Zhong smiled and shook his head and said: You look down on me, Kou Zhong. As long as we can prevent Li Mi from attacking Luoyang, the engagement will be invalid. At that time, the eldest sister of the Song family will marry someone, and I, Kou Zhong, will never destroy her happiness. But she
If you feel that you can't leave Kou, that's Kou's blessing. This is so frank and honest!
Xu Ziling shrugged and said: Okay! We are all adults and some things have to be decided by God. What we should do now is to concentrate on dealing with the enemy and think about the rest when we are still alive!
Kou Zhong frowned and said: Are you implying that we have to go to bed now? We have rarely talked so happily and congenially! Ha! The word speculation is so well used.
Xu Ziling said lightly: Our speculative conversation has only officially begun now. I have a hunch in my heart that the evil monk Yanni and their accomplices should be waiting for a good opportunity to ambush us near Baling.
Kou Zhong sat down and thought to himself: Maybe they are in the city after all. Is there any way to lure them out?
Xu Ziling said calmly: Those who come are not good, and those who are good will not come. If we wait for them to take action, we will inevitably suffer casualties, so the best strategy is to pre-empt them.
A confident smile emerged from the corner of Koo Zhong's mouth and he said slowly: This time we will not rely on Xiao Mian's strength to deal with the enemy. Only then can we achieve the purpose of tempering ourselves.
Then he thought: I guess the evil monk Yanni didn't dare to venture into the city because of his special appearance, so he just sent his men to investigate and monitor us. They must be somewhere outside General Xiangzi's mansion to know our access and going in and out. As long as we find the spies, we will start.
Anti-tracking can take the first step to defeat the enemy.
Xu Ziling said: Since Yang Xuyan failed to assassinate Xiangzi, Xiangzi's military defense has been greatly strengthened. Hidden posts have also been set up outside the mansion, so if the other party sends people here, they must be stealthy. Masters who are good at Qinggong will not be easily detected by us. So,
If we don't have any means, it will be difficult to find such a person.
Kou Zhong laughed and said, "Don't worry! If I can't deal with the evil monk Yanni, how can I fight for hegemony in the world?"
