Lincheng Huamo Chapter 168: Knowing the way at dusk
Three days later, a letter arrived from the post office at Zhongxihou's residence in Jinling City.
Zhong Xihou opened the letter and read it over and over again, and then he stayed alone in the study for a whole day. King Fengling came to look for him all day, but he disappeared. Qu Tianqin sent the account books of various industries in Jinling City, but he disappeared.
The king came to look for him, but he was still missing.
Zhongxihou leaned on the Taishi chair and stared at the beams of the room. He spent the whole day like this. As the sun set and the moon rose, a guest came to visit, and Zhongxihou finally reacted.
There was a knock on the door, and the middle-aged man's voice outside the house was strong and powerful. He said, "Master Marquis, there are some chores. Could you please come in and discuss them in detail?"
Zhong Xihou's eyes shone brightly, and then he sucked his hands into claws, and the two doors were pulled open like a thread.
It was already dark outside, and the moon and stars were sparse tonight. There were no lights in his house. There was only an outline of the person outside the house, and his face could not be seen clearly. This was a Taoist, a middle-aged Taoist with black and white hair. His robe had turned white.
Although it is a bit worn, it has been cleaned well.
Zhong Xihou stood up, took out the fire stick from the desk drawer, blew it gently, and lit the lamp. The flame of the oil lamp sprang up, and the whole study was illuminated a lot brighter.
Zhong Xihou could clearly see the visitor. The visitor was the Taoist with a wooden sword on his back and a wolf-toothed mask. This man was naturally Kuimulang from the Tianluan clan.
"Sir, please come inside."
After welcoming Kui Mulang into the house, Zhong Xihou carefully felt the aura of Kui Mulang. His eyelids moved slightly and he was speechless.
Seeing the expression of Marquis Zhong Xi, Kui Mulang chuckled, and then said: "Some encounters, thanks to the advice of the Marquis, prevented me from dying."
The aura of Kuimu Lang is very different from the last time I saw it. This aura is familiar to Zhong Xihou. It is the aura of the fourth level of Hongmeng. In other words, the Taoist with the wolf fang mask has survived the thunder tribulation.
punishment.
Zhong Xihou laughed and clasped his fists at Kuimulang again: "Congratulations, sir, your martial arts has reached another peak."
He should have been happy, but Kui Mulang frowned. Zhong Xihou wanted to ask, but he kept silent. The host did not speak, the guests did not speak, and the atmosphere was awkward.
In the end, it was Kui Mulang who spoke first and heard him say: "Master Marquis, I am bothering you this time because I have something to ask for."
Zhong Xihou still smiled, but stretched out his hand to indicate to the other party that it was okay.
"Pindao already knows about the Mo family's affairs. Pindao has already asked his colleagues in Tianluan. Ruge is fine, and the Marquis doesn't need to worry."
Hearing that his junior brother Ying Ruge was no problem, Zhong Xihou frowned, then relaxed, and smiled happily. But Zhong Xihou could not imagine that Kui Mulang came to find him, not only because of Ying Ruge, but also about Ying Ruge.
What else can be done?
Kui Mulang was not someone who liked to beat around the bush. His words were direct and straightforward. He said, "To be honest with you, Lord Marquis, the oil lamp is approaching on the trail. I have a merciless request. I hope Lord Marquis will grant it."
Hearing Kuimulang's words, Zhong Xihou couldn't help but open his eyes wide in disbelief.
Seeing the Lord of the West's expression, Kui Mulang smiled lightly and said, "Everyone is destined to die, so what's the difference between dying early and dying late?"
Zhong Xihou frowned, his eyes condensed, and asked: "Mr.
, maybe talk about it in detail?”
Now that Kui Mulang is here, he has no intention of hiding it and tells the story.
"The poor Taoist star's name is Kui Mulang. He once traveled around the world under the alias Mu Zhitu, and he committed many crimes. I think the Marquis also knows a thing or two about them."
Zhong Xihou nodded. He also knew the name of the bloodthirsty Taoist Mu Zhitu, and specially sent the spies among the four hundred people to search for information. People like Mu Zhitu, even if Zhong Xihou did not like them
If you are nosy, if you encounter someone, you will kill them quickly with a sword.
But now that Mu Zhitu had become Kuimu Lang, Zhong Xihou had no reason to use his sword against him.
"Although Mu is a surname, this family is the descendant of Emperor Ku. Although it is rare, it is not created out of nothing. Mu Zhitu was formerly called Mu Zhitu. Although it sounds ordinary, the meaning is very different. The surname of King Mu has been questioned throughout his life.
, we should follow the principle that the world is unkind and treats all things like rotten dogs. It’s a pity that Mu Zhitu can turn into Kui Mulang, but Kui Mulang cannot turn back into Mu Zhitu.”
Speaking of this, Kui Mulang couldn't help but sigh. He reached out to his visor and slowly took it off. When Zhong Xihou saw this man's face, he took a deep breath, as if he was dazzled and saw it wrong.
Normally. But when his eyes narrowed and he took a closer look, this face was still the same terrifying face.
Kuimulang's face is a bit older than the last time we met. If that's all, that's it. But the horror is that Kuimulang has lost his nose, leaving two nostrils empty, and his upper and lower lips are missing.
Half of the teeth with black and yellow spots on the left half of the mouth were also exposed. What was even more terrifying were his eyes. The skin on his eye sockets had been peeled off, and the flesh and blood were bright red, as if the eyeballs would fall from the sockets.
Comes out normally.
Seeing Zhong Xihou's expression, Kui Mulang couldn't help but lament again, and then slowly put on the mask. Only in this way can the person in front of him feel a little more comfortable.
Kui Mulang laughed out loud, but his tone was calm and calm. Hearing him say: "After all, it was the organization that gave birth to the seven sons of Hongmeng. A poor man did not overestimate his own capabilities. Although he killed one person, he managed to survive.
Come down, but, in the end, you will end up as a human being, a ghost or a ghost."
"Have you gone to see your junior brother first?"
Kui Mulang shook his head and replied: "It's really hard to meet Ru Ge with such an appearance. I also had something to explain to the Spring and Autumn Brothers, and then I realized that Ru Ge was fine."
"Spring and Autumn?" When Zhong Xihou heard the word Spring and Autumn, the first thing he thought of was Quan Zhen Chun Qiu. Did Kui Mulang know this Quan Zhen Chun Qiu? But after all, it was just his own fist itching, and it didn't matter after all. All this was messed up.
Wiping away his thoughts, he continued, "What do you want Mr. Zhong Xihou to do? But it doesn't matter."
Zhong Xihou didn't ask Kui Mulang why he didn't go to see Ying Ruge, and he didn't ask Mu Zhitu or Mu Zhitu. He only knew that Kui Mulang sincerely wanted to see Ying Ruge. As for Kui Mulang's character, he also
Respectable people.
Kuimulang nodded. The wolf-toothed mask covered it well. Only his black eyes could be seen, not his eye sockets. This was also the case, so that no one would see his terrifying appearance.
"Who are the Seven Sons of Hongmeng? There is no need for the Marquis to find out. Pindao is here to get rid of the traitors from the Huang Clan for Mu Zhitu's disciples. Master Hou, Pindao has only accepted one disciple in his life. His surname is
Zhu, called Yinuo."
Hearing the name of the Little Overlord of Jinling, Zhong Xihou smiled and nodded, but when he thought of Zhu Yinuo being beaten beyond recognition by him and paralyzed on the bed, he looked into Kui Mulang's eyes and felt a little embarrassed.
Kui Mulang didn't know the reason for the embarrassment in Zhong Xihou's eyes. Perhaps he was surprised why he accepted Zhu Yinuo as his disciple. He was about to explain, but Zhong Xihou spoke first.
"Although the young prince is born with deficiencies, his diligence is indeed not bad. He was born with a weak energy source, and the nine stars flying down may be his only way out. Such a person with no retreat, if given ten years, he will have some success."
Zhong Xihou's words were pertinent, and Kui Mulang nodded.
"Master Hou, Pindao came to visit this time because he wants to ask Master Hou for something."
Kuimulang paused and took a deep breath. There was a trace of fear and a trace of reluctance in his eyes. Zhong Xihou was the lord of the West and had been on the battlefield for many years. He even sent many people to the West.
The master who provoked the trouble went to Dongyin Realm. He could see that in Kui Mulang's eyes was the fear of death and the reluctance to live.
Marquis Zhong Xi said nothing and waited quietly for Kuimulang to continue. When Kuimulang's eyes regained his firmness, he slowly spoke and said: "I implore you, Lord Marquis, to fight to the death with me!"
Marquis Zhong Xi couldn't help but frown. He didn't understand why when a person was about to die, the last thing he did was to have a life-or-death showdown with himself. If it was just because he was Zhong Xihou and a martial artist wanted to fight in the end, then it shouldn't be him.
Seeing Zhong Xihou's doubts, Kui Mulang laughed out loud and explained: "The Marquis may be wondering why Pin Dao chose the Marquis in the final battle. But just because you are Zhong Xi Hou, Pin Dao can only
If you can drag down the Marquis, I will send the poor man on his way."
"Gu, I promise you!"
Without any reason, he could have expected the consequences of killing Kui Mulang, but Zhong Xihou still agreed to it with a huge sum of money.
Seeing Marquis Zhong Xi being so cheerful, Kui Mulang was a little uncomfortable. He asked: "Master Hou, have you ever thought that if Pindao died in the hands of Master Hou, there would be no way for Master Hou to explain to Ru Ge?"
Zhong Xihou nodded, and then he smiled brightly. Although it was bright, there was a bit of bitterness in it.
"Just as your husband would choose me, Marquis Zhongxi, because I am Marquis Zhongxi. I will directly tell my junior brother the truth about what we said today, and he will believe it because he is my junior junior brother."
Kui Mulang chuckled, with some guilt in his smile, and added: "Kui Mulang has already thanked the Marquis. How about tomorrow night, Kui Mulang waits for the Marquis in the Forbidden City at the Jinling Palace."
Zhong Xihou is the lord of a city and is a smart man. He naturally understands why Kui Mulang chose the Forbidden City. It is not because the life and death battle at the top of the Forbidden City is fast, but because the Forbidden City is the Zhu family's Forbidden City.
"Okay, then we'll be in the Forbidden City. I hope my opponent tomorrow night will be Mu Zhitu, not Kui Mulang."
As he finished speaking, Kui Mulang was stunned, his eyes blank for a moment. After about ten seconds, he laughed heartily. If his face was not ruined, he must have been filled with relief at this moment.
"Okay, Kuimu Lang, on behalf of Mu Zhitu, invites the Marquis to a fight of life and death in the Forbidden City!"
