Kou Zhong rode up to the leader Xu Ziling and said, "She has not yet woken up. If she is so dry, she will die in a few days."
Xu Ziling glanced back at the mule cart that had an awning specially set up for her. He suddenly showed a smile and said lightly: "Mr. Zhong, have you noticed that no matter how long or short her breathing or pulse is, she always follows it? I think this is a kind of superior quality."
With the extremely powerful Turtle Breath Skill, I am sure that she is the descendant of Zhuo who was sent by the Yingui Sect to deal with Shi Feixuan.
Kou Zhong felt deeply troubled and said: If we were willing to let the hungry wolves eat her last night, we could get to the bottom of it, but we are afraid that a child will be cast into a misfortune and cause eternal hatred, killing someone else's life, just because we are suspicious of a dark ghost.
Although the surroundings were wild and wild, with mist floating in the air, and the green trees so beautiful and picturesque, the two of them had no intention of looking at it despite carrying this mental baggage.
Kou Zhong continued: Suppose she is that witch from the Yingui sect, and she simply joins forces with Qu Ao to bring bad luck to us. Why spend so much time pretending to be a ghost?
Xu Ziling said solemnly: You seem to be gradually conquered by her beauty, otherwise why would you defend her? Don't forget that things in the world are often unexpected. For example, she wants to trick us into unraveling acupuncture points for her and take the opportunity to use evil skills to absorb our skills.
She needs to discover our strange training method so that she can increase her power and defeat Shi Feixuan. Who can be sure whether it is or not?
Kou Zhong muttered: How could I confuse or conquer her so easily? But Duan Yucheng's four sons have all lost their minds since seeing her, which is worrying!
Xu Ziling said flatly: She came to the door and wanted to escape, but she couldn't escape. We had to fight with her to see what magic weapon she had besides pretending to be comatose.
Kou Zhong said in surprise: You seem to have decided that she is a witch. Wouldn't it be a big joke if it turns out that she is just a poor woman whose acupuncture points were sealed by Qu Ao using strange techniques?
Xu Ziling showed a bright and confident smile and said leisurely: This fight is about patience and confidence. As long as she is forced to reveal her true colors, we will win. Do you understand?
Kou Zhong said: Your feeling is definitely not wrong. Let's just walk with her and wait and see! I don't believe she can pretend to be asleep forever. Alas! I would rather face Qu Ao than face this tricky thing.

By dusk, they walked more than ten miles and looked around for a suitable place to camp.
At this time, there were only six or seven miles away from Baizhang Gorge, but because they wanted to avoid the battlefield last night, they took a detour and increased the distance by seven or eight miles. In any case, they could not reach Baizhang Gorge tonight and it was not suitable to risk crossing the gorge at night. The route they took
They are all remote mountains and wild terrain, with overgrown weeds and no human habitation.
Finally they rested in a plain.
Duan Yucheng and Bao Zhifu sent the girl in yellow to the tent and walked out in despair, speechless.
Shi Jie and Ma Gui made excuses to see her. The four of them looked distracted, which made Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling secretly shocked.
Although the two of them warned the four people many times, they knew that not only would they not believe it, but they would not listen to it at all.
Kou Zhong pulled Xu Ziling aside and said: Now we have a dilemma. If this girl is really the treasure that the two parties are fighting for, one of them will set up an ambush in Baizhang Gorge. Then our salt goods will definitely be finished. The four of them will also die.
Save.
After a pause, he then said: What should we do if we go to Baizhang Gorge tonight to explore the road and someone comes to rob her?
Xu Ziling said: It's better to stay still than to move. We'll stay here tonight and make plans before crossing the gorge tomorrow. Alas!
Is there a second route to Shebaizhang Gorge?
Kou Zhong said: Of course there are some, but it will take ten more days of work. By then, He Shibi may have been snatched away by others.
Xu Ziling said angrily: When did you become so greedy after having Yang Gong's treasure house and still yearning for He's Bi?
Kou Zhong said with a smile: "Master Ling, please calm down. I'm just giving you a vivid example! Can't you even laugh?"
When Xu Ziling was about to say something, the sound of hoofbeats suddenly sounded from far to near. Could it be that Cao Cao is about to arrive? What if Qu Ao came in person?
※※※
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling stood side by side and waited for the enemy's arrival. Duan Yucheng and the others were busy buckling the mules and carrying the girl in yellow to the mule cart that had been specially arranged for her.
Under the half crescent moon, the thirteen knights gradually approached, following the route they had passed earlier, apparently following the tracks left by the mule carriage.
The visitor apparently saw them slowing down their horses.
The middle-aged man who took the lead was a tall, stout man wearing black clothes and a red cloak with a thick black mustache on his upper lip.
What impressed them most was that his face was rough and pitted, but the eyes embedded in his numb face shone like two lanterns, making his whole person look like a beast.
Terrifying and frighteningly charming.
The people behind him were all dressed in black, varying in height, height, and weight, but they all exuded a fierce energy.
Kou Zhong leaned into Xu Ziling's ear and said: I'm afraid it's the owner of the villa who dominates the villa.
Xu Ziling said: "Get up, we were comrades in arms last night. If you don't want to do anything, don't do it."
At this time, the man who dominated the villa reined in his horse and stopped about ten feet away from them. They all flew off and dismounted in neat and quick movements.
The leader stood out from the crowd, clasped his fists in front of the two men, and said: Fang Zetao, the owner of the dominating villa, wonders if these two brothers are Kou brothers and Xu brothers, who have become famous all over the world in recent years?
The two of them were very fond of him when they saw his polite attitude.
Kou Zhong returned the courtesy and replied: Mr. Fang has given you too much praise. We are just desperadoes who were driven here and there.
Fang Zetao laughed and said: A true hero is one who succeeds without being arrogant. Who can kill Ren Shaoming in the midst of thousands of troops and still escape calmly? How can he be just a desperado?
Xu Ziling smiled and said: Master Fang, please don't praise us. I wonder if your visit this time is because we rescued the woman in yellow last night?
Fang Zetao's eyes showed enthusiasm and concern and he asked humbly and politely: "I, Fang Zetao, will never forget the kindness of the two of you in helping me last night. Where is Sister Huanhan now?"
Kou Zhong breathed a sigh of relief and said: So her name is Huan Huan. What is her relationship with the village owner?
Fang Zetao turned around and said to his subordinates: You are responsible for keeping watch around and be sure to wake up.
When his men were ordered to disperse in all directions, Fang Zetao said kindly: Let's go on the road, okay?
Both of them felt that their previous suspicions were ridiculous, and the leader led him towards the mule cart loading Wan Wan.
Fang Ze said, "Huanhan's life experience is very pitiful. When Fang met her, her family's carriage and horse team encountered thieves. No one in the family was spared. Those thieves were greedy for her beauty. Just when they were about to fulfill their lust for beasts, I happened to bump into a group of thieves and rescued them."
She returned to the village.
Kou Zhongdao: Please forgive me for my limited knowledge. I just looked at Guizhuang’s lineup last night and they are definitely not unknown people in the world. Why have we never heard of Guizhuang’s name?
Fang Zetao replied: This may be because we have not had enough time to build the village. I was a general of the Sui Dynasty and occupied Jingling after the emperor was killed by Yu Wenhuaji. But I didn't want to claim the land as the king like others, so I followed me for many years.
The brothers established the Domination Villa to prevent thieves on the one hand, and on the other hand, they waited for the Ming Lord to appear and submit to his command, so that Jingling would be protected from military disasters.
The two of them were stunned.
Xu Ziling said: But the word "domestic" means very domineering. The owner is not afraid of being misunderstood?
Fang Zetao smiled and said: How can we suppress the thieves from all directions without changing their domineering name? Now the rebels have formed a force and hundreds of gangsters are looting and recruiting. Among them, the four most notorious bandits are Xiang, Fang, Mao, and Cao.
broadcast.
Oh!婠婠!
The three of them came to the mule cart at this time. When Fang Zetao saw the peerless beauty Hanwen lying on a bed made of grass, he immediately rushed to the cart regardless of everything and said in a trembling voice with sincerity: How is she?
At this time, the two of them no longer had the slightest suspicion. Kou Zhong explained her situation. Fang Ze stretched out his fingers to touch her wrist veins with great care. After a while, big beads of sweat appeared on his forehead and said dejectedly: What kind of acupoint sealing technique is this?
Her meridians were full of vacuity and were not blocked, but she was unable to gather her breath, making her look like a patient who was deficient and not receiving any supplements.
From his judgment, the two of them could infer that Fang Zetao was a master of internal qigong and ranked among the top masters. No wonder he dared to dominate Jingling.
Xu Ziling had a good impression of him and said: Does Master Fang also know Qu Ao's acupoint sealing technique? We have never thought that such a weird technique must have been done by Qu Ao himself, right?
Until now, they still don't know why something like last night happened.
Fang Zetao shook his head and said: It is definitely not Qu Ao who did it, because he has not yet set foot in the Central Plains. It turns out that it is just his three apprentices Chang Shumou, Hua Lingzi and Geng Ge Huer. It is most likely that it was Chang Shumou who did it. This person is said to have been killed.
He was the only one who could master all three of Qu Ao's famous skills.
After Kou Zhong read Chang Shumou's name several times, he asked in confusion: Why did Sister Huhun tie them to the pillar?
Fang Zetao looked at Huanwan lovingly and sighed: This is such a disaster. Half a month ago, I suddenly received a letter from Ren Shaoming asking me to join the Iron Cavalry. Of course, I flatly refused and strengthened the city defense for fear that they would attack us in the past two years.
Not a day goes by without making preparations and gaining the support of the people in the city. They dare to boast that even if Ren Shaoming attacks with all his strength, he can stop him for a year and a half.
Kou Zhongtou said: Of course Ren Shaoming would not dare to provoke Du Fuwei and Fu Gongyou. If they capture Jingling, they can establish a northward base north of the Yangtze River, so he is determined to win Jingling.
Fang Zetao was surprised and said: I didn't expect Brother Kou to be so good at this.
Xu Ziling wondered: Ren Shaoming is dead, the Iron Cavalry Association has been torn apart, and Chang Shumou has become a lone army. Why do they still come to provoke you?
Fang Zetao said distressedly: Even I can't figure this out. Three days ago, someone suddenly broke into our village at night. This person was extremely skilled. Not only did he injure more than ten people, he also kidnapped Huan Huan. Alas! Frankly speaking, Huan Huan now belongs to someone from our side.
I am not someone who has never seen a beautiful woman, but I fell deeply in love with her the first time I saw her. I feel that if I lose her, everything will become meaningless. Chang Shumou's move is indeed a pinch.
My vitals caused me to completely lose my bearings.
Duan Yucheng, Bao Zhifu, Shi Jie, and Ma Gui, who were gathered around to listen to their words, all nodded to express their sympathy.
It would be strange for anyone to see such a touching beauty and not fall in love with her.
Fang Zetao continued: Three days ago, I received a letter from Chang Shumou, which fell into their hands, asking me to fight to the death outside Baizhang Gorge to decide who belongs to Huan. Alas! This is the most difficult thing in my life.
One thing I have decided is that I know that the other party is trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain, but how should I choose between the tens of millions of people under my protection in Jingling City and in Huanwan?
Kou Zhong and others all showed understanding and sympathy.
Fang Ze sighed: In the end, I decided to stay put and stay in Jingling. Between public and private affairs, I still know what to do and what not to do.
Kou Zhong and others looked at each other. If this was the case, why was there still a battle last night?
Fang Zetao smiled bitterly and said: No wonder you are so confused because my fierce general and my biological brother Fang Zeliu actually led troops to rescue Huan Huan in private. Only then did I know that he also had a crush on Huan Huan. He unfortunately died in the battle last night.
When the people who escaped told me that you two had rescued Huanwan, I couldn't help myself anymore and left the city to look for you. Finally, I met you here.
Xu Ziling secretly lamented the misfortune of beauty and asked: Has Master Fang taken Sister Huanhan as his wife?
Fang Zetao shook his head dejectedly and said: This is what I want to say most every time I see her, but I dare not say it out every time for fear that she will flatly refuse or even walk away. She doesn't like to talk and only likes to be alone. Her personality is difficult to grasp, but she prefers to be alone.
But my love for her is growing day by day.
Everyone fell silent.
Looking at this peerless beauty who seemed to be sleeping soundly, everyone imagined an image of her soft-spoken and smiling beauty in their hearts.
At this moment, the strong pressure caused the tent to burst.
