Chapter 88 Chapter 6 Love and Hate

Kou Zhong patted Song Yuzhi's door and asked, "Can I come in and say a few words?" Song Yuzhi responded, "If it's just a few sentences, that's fine." Kou Zhong sighed, pushed the door open and entered. The room was dark, but only the moonlight slanted into the unlit room from the cabin window, just covering Song Yuzhi sitting alone in a faint golden light. This beautiful woman's black hair was hanging down, freely hanging on her fragrant shoulders, her eyes were like a pair of deep and bright gemstones, she was staring at him intently. Kou Zhong was shocked, and for the first time noticed that her feminine temperament and appearance were not inferior to Li Xiuning.

Song Yuzhi said impatiently: "Don't you have a few words to say? Get the hell out of here after you finish." Kou Zhong smiled wryly and said: "I came here today to admit my mistakes and discuss the cancellation of the engagement with Miss Song. From now on, Kou Zhong will not dare to have any delusions about Miss Song." After speaking, I will leave. Song Yuzhi was stunned and said, "Get out of here!" Kou Zhong's hand was already holding the door knocker, he didn't move when he heard the words, and said bitterly behind her back: "It's my fault, I shouldn't talk about 'Grand Yang's Treasure House' and the important events of Miss' life together, making it look like Zong Like a deal."

Song Yuzhi was silent for a while and then said softly: "Sit down and talk about it?" Kou Zhong shook his head and sighed: "Now I just want to hide alone and think about it. These days, my mind is full of how to compete with others, and I ignore other things. I really need to reflect." Song Yuzhi raised his eyebrows, and said a little bit uncontrollably: "You boy, let me sit down, if you slip away like this, people will hate you for the rest of your life." Kou Zhong turned around like a whirlwind, and wondered: "Didn't you already hate me to the core? Could it be that it's fake?"

Song Yuzhi avoided his sharp eyes, lowered his head and said, "When you came in just now, why did you look at him like an idiot?" Kou Zhong moved in front of her seat, slumped on one knee, grasped the armrest with his right hand, and sighed: "Because I suddenly realized that Yuzhi, you are so touching, I couldn't help but feel admiration for you, and I reflected on my own feelings. wrong." Song Yuzhi looked at him unavoidably at a distance where his breath could be heard, recalling the scene of being pressed to the ground by him that day, her heart trembled and said, "Can you get up and sit beside me first?"

Kou Zhong cooperated surprisingly, and when he sat down, Song Yuzhi whispered: "What do you want?" Kou Zhong scratched his head and said, "Which aspect is Miss Song referring to?" Song Yuzhi replied calmly, and said lightly: "Of course it means fighting for world hegemony. What is it for?" Kou Zhong's eyes lit up immediately, he nodded and said, "Miss Song is the first person to ask me this question, even Xiao 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 life of the common people is when the rulers lose all their benevolence and righteousness. Alas! At the beginning, I just wanted to join the rebel army with the most promising and promising future. , I don’t know that the people I met like Du Fuwei and Li Mi are all profit-seeking, cruel and cruel. If they become emperors, it will never be a good thing. And since they can fight for the world, I Kou Why can't Zhong? The most important thing for a person is to have ambition."

He sighed again and said: "The problem is that I also see that if we want to fight for the world, we must not talk about benevolence and righteousness, and let benevolence and righteousness be bound everywhere. So in Miss Song's eyes, he has become a person who seeks ends and uses unscrupulous means. Hey! Actually 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! After I speak out, I feel much more comfortable." 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 playing tricks too."

Kou Zhong lost his voice: "What?" Song Yuzhi overtook him, moved in front of him, stared at him and said, "Why don't you ask who father betrothed me to? Do you dismiss it, or don't you care?" Kou Zhong said embarrassingly, "I'm a bit afraid to ask." Song Yuzhi said indifferently: "Even if you ask, Second Uncle won't tell. My future husband's family is Li Mi's only son Li Tianfan. This marriage was only arranged a year ago. As long as Li Mi conquers Luoyang, I will marry into the Li family ,Understand?" Kou Zhong was stunned and could not make a sound.Song Yuzhi stretched out his jade hand, stroked his cheek, and said with a smile, "Young Master Kou, go back to your room and rest! Fighting for the world will never be an easy task, but I really hope you can succeed."

Xu Ziling flicked out the oil lamp, opened the door, and when he was about to leave, he was still thinking about Kou Zhong's introspection and confession just now, which seemed true or false. He backed away naturally, unexpectedly a hot and delicate body had already plunged into his arms, wrapped his slender hands around his neck, and sealed his mouth with fragrant lips. Xu Ziling woke up with a start, grabbed the other person's fragrant shoulders, pushed her away slightly, Jun blushed and said, "It's me!" Yun Yuzhen's delicate body trembled violently, she backed away abruptly, her jade cheeks burning brightly.

Xu Ziling replied casually, smiled and said: "This will be a beautiful memory for me." After saying that, he went back to his room. When the boat arrived in Baling, Xiao Mian went out of the city to meet him personally, and Zhang Xiu, another great general and Marshal Zhang Xiu, also came with him.This person is short, but his head is huge, his hair is disheveled, but his eyes are so calm and sharp that he can penetrate into the heart of others.As Xiang Yushan said before, his martial arts are better than Marshal Dong Jingzhen, only inferior to Xiao Xian. Of course, Susu is indispensable in the welcome team, seeing her husband and two brothers come back safe and sound, and making great contributions, she is overjoyed.

What makes Bao Ling Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling ecstatic is that Duan Yucheng, Bao Zhifu, Shi Jie and Ma Gui are all here. These four boys were covered with scars, they were intercepted by bandits many times on the way, but now they are all in high spirits, it is obvious that their martial arts skills have improved a lot due to honing. Xiao Xian showed the attitude of being grateful and respectful to the two of them, and treated Song Yuzhi even more politely. Of course, he thought of the various benefits of joining forces with the Song Clan. That night, Xiao Xian hosted a banquet to celebrate, during the banquet he was full of praise for the two of them.

After the banquet, Song Yuzhi stayed behind to have a secret conversation with Xiao Mian, and they went back to the General's Mansion in Xiangyu Mountain. On the way, Susu reminded them of the promise they made, that they would accompany her on a tour of mountains and rivers in the past few days. The two had a deep attachment to her, and they happily agreed to treat her as if they were Fu Jun. Back in the mansion, the three siblings were talking and laughing happily at the garden pavilion in the mansion. Xiang Yushan came over in a hurry, sat down and said, "The Iron Cavalry Club has split into three groups, one for Lin Shihong, one for Shen Faxing, and one for Shen Faxing. The rest vowed to avenge Ren Shaoming, led by the evil monk and Yanni." Susu Huarong turned pale and said: "Then what should I do?" Xu Ziling gave Xiang Yushan a displeased look, blaming him for surprising Susu. Kou Zhong asked in surprise, "Why did this happen?" Xiang Yushan first apologized to Xu Ziling, then turned to Susu, and said: "The iron cavalry club has a complicated rank and good and bad. I have always had different opinions on who to form an alliance with. It is only because of Ren Shaoming's authority that it seems like everyone is united. , Ren Shaoming's big tree fell, and the monkeys below were torn apart." Kou Zhong said happily: "This should be a good thing for the South. The Iron Cavalry Society 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 and keep his mouth shut for the people, so he glanced at him strangely. Xiang Yushan said: "The news of Ren Shaoming's death is still limited to the south, but it has already 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?" Xiangyushan said: "Because we worked for Yang Guang, we were in a state of opposition with Li Mike, so our relationship has always been bad. But there has never been a direct confrontation, so the relationship is in a very delicate state. Why do you suddenly ask this question? Woolen cloth?" At this time Yunyu really came, Kou Zhong changed the subject and did not answer Xiangyushan. Song Yuzhi came back very late that night, and everyone was already fast asleep.The next morning Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling went shopping with Su Su, but she still hadn't gotten up, and when everyone returned home, they found out that she had quietly left. After dinner, Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling and Duan Yucheng discussed the northward route, and then returned to their room to rest. Kou Zhong followed Xu Ziling back to his room, and asked for credit: "Young Master Ling! Let me listen to you this time! Last night I personally told Song Yuzhi to cancel the marriage, and this morning she left without saying goodbye." Xu Ziling wondered, "You don't seem to feel any discomfort when she leaves." Kou Zhong sat down slumped, looked at Xu Ziling who was standing by the bed, looking as if he was going to lie down on the bed, and said with a wry smile, "If I said I didn't get hit, I would be lying to you. But with so many headaches in front of me, I'm not allowed to worry about it." I have time to find my own troubles. Girls are like butterflies, if you want to fly, let her fly away! Bing! Not only do we have no luck in brothels, we also don’t have luck with beautiful women. " Xu Ziling raised the curtain and sat down on the edge of the bed. Hearing this, he felt a pain in his heart. He thought of Fu Junchuo and Sister-in-law Zhen. Now only the closest sister Su is left, and her happiness is determined by Xiang Yushan. Is life really so helpless? Kou Zhong muttered: "Today's trip to the north will be the most dangerous journey. We have so many enemies that even we don't know what to do." Xu Ziling took a deep breath and said, "Starting tomorrow, we will give Duan Yucheng and the others the strictest training, so that they at least have the ability to protect themselves." Kou Zhong nodded and said, "How many days should we stay here? If we leave too early, Sister Su will definitely blame us." Xu Ziling said: "Let's stay with Sister Su for ten more days! By the way, we can also train them to be perfect." Kou Zhong agreed, "Just as you say." Xu Ziling asked, "What about Master Beauty?" Kou Zhongdao: "Of course she wants to go north with us, but who will take care of her own affairs." Xuan lowered his voice again and said, "Xiang Xiaozi told me in private that she had an appointment with Dugu Ce, that's why she refused to leave Baling. It's probably more difficult for this woman to concentrate on a man than picking the bright moon in the sky." Xu Ziling frowned and said, "Why would Xiang boy tell you such a thing? This is not like his style." Kou Zhong snorted coldly: "Of course I followed the orders of that old fox Xiao Xian to try to destroy the relationship between me and Master Meirener. Now the Haisha Gang has suffered a lot, and the only ones left are the Jukun Gang, Shuilong Gang and Dajiang Gang. To Xiao Xian, Master Beauty is much more important than us." Xu Ziling said in a deep voice: "Just now we warned Boy Xiang, if Sister Su is even slightly unhappy, I'm the only one to ask." Kou Zhong laughed and said, "For God's sake, he dared not bully Sister Su, alas! I still don't understand why Sister Su is willing to marry him." Xu Ziling let out a sigh of relief: "There is no point in talking about this issue now." After a pause, he said, "Do you know why I have to stay for ten days? Although you agreed, I know you are just helpless." Kou Zhong was stunned and said: "I really haven't thought about this. I just think that being with Sister Su is the most important thing at the moment. As long as I am with her, I will feel relaxed and at ease." Xu Ziling said apologetically, "I was thinking wrongly. From my point of view, the evil monk Yanni and other murderous people will definitely come to seek our bad luck. If we can severely injure them before we go on the road, our journey will be much smoother!" Kou Zhong frowned and said, "This is the land of the Baling Gang, do they dare to come here to act wildly?" Xu Ziling smiled and said: "We killed Ren Shaoming in their field, and they will naturally kill us in our field in order to show their prestige. So unless they don't come, they must use the force of thunder to try to kill us in the shortest possible time. cause maximum damage and destruction within a short period of time.” Kou Zhong raised his eyebrows and said with a sneer: "So they will definitely send people to step on the plate first to find out the news. If we can catch these vanguard troops, we can give them a head-on blow before they launch, hmph!" Xu Ziling smiled lightly and said, "If I were them, I would strike while we were out with Sister Su. Right?" Kou Zhong's tiger eyes lit up immediately. Xu Ziling continued: "Once we transport salt to the north, we will be at a disadvantage of being absolutely passive. It is very unwise tactically. If we can't take the initiative back to our hands, I dare say that we will never reach Guanzhong. " Kou Zhong said in surprise, "There is nothing to do today! It seems that you have never been so enthusiastic and active about these things before." Xu Ziling moved to the window, looked up at the starry sky with his hands behind his back, and said spontaneously: "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 already been entangled with several evil forces. Can't figure it out, get involved in the vortex of the great era, there is no way to avoid it, one chooses to commit suicide, the other chooses to face it, there is no third possibility." Don't turn your head to look at Kou Zhong, seeing him staring at you strangely, he asked in surprise, "Why do you look at me like that?" Kou Zhong suddenly stood up, and said solemnly: "Because you showed the momentum and demeanor of a generation of masters just now, and the most rare thing is that it is so smooth and natural." Xu Ziling smiled and said, "Stop flattering my younger brother. Don't you feel that your attitude has changed too much recently? You pretend to be obedient and listen to the teachings, and you say some high-sounding words from time to time, and play tricks on me." Kou Zhong patted him on the shoulder vigorously, laughed and said, "Sometimes you don't have to be so frank. I missed one thing and didn't tell you, who is Song Yuzhi's future husband's family, my mother! She is Li Mi's only son .” Xu Ziling knew that he was going somewhere else on purpose, but he still couldn't help shouting: "What?" Kou Zhong let go of the hand on his shoulder, leaned against the window railing, and stared at the vast moonlit night, his eyes shining brightly: "This is a political transaction between the Song Clan and the Wagang Army. It’s about dealing with the Li Clan in the northwest. So if we don’t try to smash this alliance between the north and the south, the world will eventually fall into the hands of Li Mi.” Xu Ziling smiled wryly, "Are you trying to convince me to let you use Song Yuzhi?" Kou Zhong smiled and shook his head and said, "You underestimate me, Kou Zhong. As long as we can make Li Mi unable to attack Luoyang, the engagement will be invalid. Who will Miss Song's family marry at that time, I, Kou Zhong, will never destroy her But if she finds that she can’t leave Kou, it will be Kou’s blessing. Saying this, it’s enough to be 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 we will think about the rest when we still have our lives!" Kou Zhong frowned and said, "Are you implying that we have to go to bed now? We have rarely talked so happily and speculatively! Ha! The word 'speculative' is really well used." Xu Ziling said indifferently: "Our speculative conversation has only now officially begun. I have a hunch in my heart that the evil monk Yanni and their accomplices should be near Baling, waiting for a good opportunity to ambush us." Kou Zhong sat down and pondered: "Maybe they are in the city at all, is there any way to lure them out?" Xu Ziling said calmly: "Those who come are not kind, and those who are kind don't come. If we wait for them to attack, we will inevitably be killed or injured. Therefore, the best strategy is whether to preemptively strike." A confident smile escaped from the corner of Kou Zhong's mouth, and he said slowly: "Today we will deal with the enemy without relying on Xiao Xian's power, only in this way can we achieve our goal of tempering ourselves." He thought about it again: "According to my guess, the evil monk Yanni didn't dare to venture into the city because of his special appearance, but only sent his subordinates to investigate and monitor us, and they must be somewhere outside General Xiang's mansion, so that we can know the situation of our entry and exit. , as long as you find the spy, start a counter-follow, and take the first step to kill the enemy." Xu Ziling said: "Since Yang Xuyan failed to assassinate Xiang Boy, the defense of Xiang Boy's military mansion has been greatly strengthened, and dark posts have been set up outside the mansion, so if the other party sends someone, it must be someone who hides and is good at light work Experts won’t be so easy for us to detect Xingzang, so if we don’t have some means, it will be difficult to find such a person.” Kou Zhong laughed and said, "Don't worry! This matter is on my shoulders. If you can't even deal with the evil monk Yanni, how can you fight for world hegemony?"
