Chapter 461 Chapter 1 Standing Prestige in the World

Wearing a fur hat, Xiao Lingzhong lay on the floor mat to take a nap in the morning, with a soft mattress and a thin quilt on top. Although the cold winter had just passed and the weather had not yet warmed up, but because of the fire in the hall, such measures to keep out the cold were just right. Just right.So there was a sweet smile on the corner of Xiao Lingzhong's mouth, indescribably peaceful and comfortable. Chu Chu, the nanny, and the other two maidservants accompanied Xiao Lingzhong while doing needlework and gossiping about family affairs, which made Xu Ziling feel the warmth and comfort of "home".

He has never had a home. The dilapidated house in the abandoned garden in Yangzhou is just a nest to live in. It is difficult for him to regard it as his home.Home should look like this. Kou Zhong was still shocked. The moment he crossed the threshold and entered the hall, he met Chu Chu's eyes, and his peaceful heart suddenly rushed into a rushing current, which immediately rippled, and Chu Chu's eyes were like a magical "love arrow". , which contains the surprise deep in her heart, complex and delicate emotions, and endless hope, who can resist it? Kou Zhong remembered the scene when Chu Chu took the initiative to throw snowballs at him in Dalongtou Mansion, and also remembered how charming she scolded him as a "fool" when he pulled her sleeves.The beautiful and intoxicating past suddenly came to life and became the present reality.

Kou Zhongli reported "hitting the arrow", and there was an unprecedented impulse in his heart, wanting to hug her, take pity on her, comfort her, and make her happy. Even for Song Yuzhi, he has never had such an unstoppable longing and desire.Or because of Chuchu's proactive and bold style when he was in Dalongtou Mansion, it was especially able to arouse his deep-seated desire. At the moment when he caught her affectionate glance, he only thought of embracing her in his strong arms, caressing her, trying to understand the mystery of her heart. He is both familiar and unfamiliar with her, the familiarity makes him feel close, and the strangeness makes him have the taste of seeking out secrets and intense stimulation.

It's a pity that he must suppress the real emotion in his heart at this time, and he can't let it out in the slightest. With two different moods, the two took off their boots, stepped on the soft and elastic straw mats in the hall, and greeted them delicately, gently brushing off the dust on their bodies with the clothes broom, Did not say a word. Xu Ziling's eyes fell on the face of Xiao Lingzhong, who was sleeping soundly on the mat, and said with a smile: "Sister Chu Chu doesn't need to pay attention to us, let alone wake Ling Zhong, we just watch him quietly and wait for him Play with him when you wake up."

Chu Chu said softly: "He just fell asleep, I'm afraid he won't wake up before the hour, even if he talks next to him, he won't be afraid to wake him up." Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong felt both bitterness and comfort at the same time, thinking that Xiao Lingzhong not only has no mother, but also if he doesn't have a father, Zhai Jiao is irritable and impatient, he is not a good candidate for a mother, Chu Chu is definitely the best s Choice. The nanny and the others resigned for the time being, and Chu Chu led them to sit down next to Xiaoling Zhong. Chu Chu naturally sat beside Kou Zhong, and said happily: "Do you think the young master looks like a pixel sister?"

Kou Zhong sniffed her familiar fragrance that seemed to belong to the distant past, felt her attachment and longing for him, but knew that he must not be emotional with her, he suppressed his nod with all his strength, and said, "Sister Su's good points are all passed on to him. , without any reservations." Xu Ziling looked at Xiao Lingzhong intently, and asked, "How old is he?" Chu Chu raised two fingers and said, "It's almost three years old." Then he stood up and said: "You are here to take care of the young master for me, Chuchu will return soon after leaving."

The two watched her back disappearing outside the door in astonishment, both puzzled. Kou Zhong turned his head, and his eyes fell on Xiao Lingzhong's little face with a rosy and healthy complexion, and sighed: "I hope he will never know who his father is. If Xiangyu Mountain will keep its own place in the future, we will have a good relationship with him." It's a pity that this is impossible, because the problem lies with him." Xu Ziling affectionately adjusted the hat and thin quilt for Xiaoling Zhong gently, so as to protect him from the wind and cold, and agreed with a wry smile: "It is clearly a trap in front of us. We have repeatedly confronted Jieli and must have angered him. Be familiar with us, and get rid of us."

Kou Zhong's eyes were sharp, and he said in a deep voice, "I want to stand up." Xu Ziling nodded and said, "I understand how you feel." Kou Zhong sighed, "Only you will understand me." After burying sister-in-law Zhen and her big enemy Yu Wenhuaji, their hatred and resentment towards the world became blurred, and even gave birth to the feeling of despair. Kou Zhong wanted to follow Xu Ziling to Leshou to visit Zhai Jiao and Xiao Lingzhong, it was a kind of escape. However, receiving all sorts of stimuli from the outside world, such as being deceived by Guan Ping so that the traps laid by the powerful foreign enemies headed by Xie Li appeared in front of him, Kou Zhong finally woke up with a start, and realized that he must muster up his will to lose weight. Let the enemy realize that he, the young commander, is by no means a person who is not in vain.

Compared with Song Qukuo Ning Daoqi, who has been famous for decades and is still standing tall, and no one dares to challenge the master-level Gaidai masters, the prestige and reputation of the two are still far behind, because they have always been It has always been fighting and fleeing, if this continues, it will be difficult to establish the reputation of an invincible master. So Kou Zhong decided to have a tough fight with Jie Li, the goal is to make Du Xing vomit out Zhai Jiao's sheepskin goods, so as to establish his prestige in the world, and teach anyone who wants to provoke them in the future, they need to think twice Dare to move forward.This is the only way to keep Zhai Jiao's business.

This is not due to the courage of ordinary people or a momentary show of enthusiasm, because the situation is not overwhelmingly unfavorable to them. In the northern border, they have a comrade-in-arms like Tuli, which is enough to balance the forces of the two sides. So Kou Zhongwu wants to take this opportunity to stand out in the world. Kou Zhong's tiger eyes lit up, and he said: "First of all, we need to find two of the best and hardiest war horses, learn the skills of fighting on horseback, and practice from here to the northern border, alas! Just think of the prairie and desert outside the Great Wall. The scene of winning the battle with the enemy makes people's blood boil, and they can't help themselves."

Xu Ziling said: "We still need to learn archery. Riding and archery have always been linked together." Kou Zhong didn't expect Xu Ziling to agree with his proposal, so excited, he patted him on the shoulder vigorously, fearing that he would wake up Xiao Lingzhong, and laughed in a low voice: "Sure enough, he is my good brother, let's just settle the matter this time Make it so big, so that no matter inside or outside the Great Wall, you will know that you have to pay a heavy price for messing with our Yangzhou Ssangyong. One day, we will surpass the three goddamn masters, because we are still young, There is ample time." Xu Ziling shot a sad look in his eyes, and said slowly: "This may be the last time we fight side by side." Turning his eyes to Xiao Lingzhong, he said in a deep voice, "If we catch Xiangyu Mountain, what should we do?" Kou Zhong stared blankly at Xiao Lingzhong for a while, then smiled wryly: "In public and private, we should all be ruthless towards Xiangyu Mountain, but he is Lingzhong's dear father after all, so we will give him one last piece of advice. Let him give up everything and retire for the rest of his life. If he still does not change his bad nature, then don't blame me, Kou Zhong, for being cruel and ruthless. Let me handle this matter. Young Master Ling can throw everything away, go to the mountains and rivers outside the Great Wall, and marry a Persian beauty I want my son to be a good wife, ha..." Xu Ziling didn't seem to hear his teasing, his tiger eyes were full of murderous intent, and he said coldly: "It's a deal, let's give him another chance, if Xiang Yushan is still obsessed, even if Bi Xuan and Fu Cailin recognize him as their son at the same time , we also want to take his dog's life." Kou Zhong pondered: "What about the blood feud of the Yingui faction?" Xu Ziling said: "We are at odds with the evil scum who intends to overthrow the righteous martial arts in the Central Plains. This matter is not just about personal grievances. I will definitely rush back to the Central Plains in a year to see how powerful Shi Zhixuan is, who has no flaws in his skills? By then But we can wipe out the Yingui sect together, the question is how far our martial arts can go." Kou Zhong proudly said: "This will not be the last time we will fight side by side! Don't say such annoying words in the future, I will really mind." Xu Ziling said angrily, "Let's talk about it when you have time." Kou Zhong stretched out his hand to lightly touch Xiao Lingzhong's pink and tender face, and praised: "What a beautiful baby, she will be the best of Xu and Kou in the future, and Baobao is more powerful than us, we will do it If not, let him do it.” Xu Ziling said: "You are called hurting him. The most important thing to be a human being is to be unrestrained and do what you want, so that you can truly enjoy life." Kou Zhong laughed and said, "I'm just talking casually, Young Master Ling, don't take it seriously." Then he showed a thoughtful look, and said: "Even if we have enough strength to regret Duchenne, we still need a superior strategy to cooperate, and the first condition for formulating a strategy is to know the enemy. Now we can say that we know nothing about the enemy. In this regard, the eldest lady must find a way for us." Xu Ziling was about to answer, when Chu Chu came back, followed by two young maidservants, holding two cups of stew-like things, Chu Chu's hands were not empty, and she was carrying two outer robes made of sheepskin, and said with a smile: "After drinking, bear Dan Tang, try the robes made for you by the slave family, the young lady said that you will go to Shanhaiguan, and you will be able to use them.” The two jumped up to thank each other. The beauty is so kind, and Kou Zhong felt all sorts of feelings in his heart, "Of course we have to try on the new clothes that Chu Chu sewed for us first." Chu Chubai glanced at him, and said with a sweet smile: "Young commander-in-chief is the best at pretending to be good, so hurry up and take off the knife." Xu Ziling watched Chu Chu considerately wait for Kou Zhong to put on his outer robe, and recalled that Susu had sewed new clothes for them in Dalongtou Mansion in the past, and he was deeply moved and remained silent. Wearing a new robe, Kou Zhong proudly turned around in front of Chu Chu and the two maidservants, with a coercive force, which made the three pairs of eyes light up. Chu Chuxi said earnestly: "This outer robe even has a hood, which can keep out wind, sand, rain and snow, and the inside of the robe can hide weapons more, so you don't need to hang a knife on your back so ostentatiously." Then it was Xu Ziling's turn to try on new clothes, which were also well tailored and showed Xu Ziling's chic and handsome demeanor. At this time, Zhai Jiao came over suddenly, and they sat down at a table beside them, drinking bear bile soup and talking, and seeing her walking with a cane, the two of them became more determined to clean up Du Xing. Zhai Jiao's tired face showed an unconcealable excitement, and said: "Just now there is new news that the 'Dragon King' Bai Ziting will hold a state-founding ceremony in 'Little Chang'an', and it is estimated that both supporters and opponents of his state-building are welcome. I will go to the meeting, according to my guess, Hu Yanjin from Qidan, Han Chaoan and Du Xing from Goryeo will all go, you can kill them together, so you don’t have to run around.” The two listened in a daze. Xu Ziling asked: "Who is Bai Ziting? What kind of country is established?" Zhai Jiao patiently explained: "Bai Ziting is the most powerful leader of the Sumo tribe of the Jie family. What you want to establish is the Jie country. You don't know such a simple matter? I can't imagine that your qualifications are so low and you don't try current affairs. .” Kou Zhong couldn't help but be scolded willingly, and said respectfully, "What is Little Chang'an?" Zhai Jiao said angrily: "Little Chang'an is nothing, but the Longquan Mansion in Shangjing chosen by Zi Tingwei and his Xinguo, alas! Chuchu, come and explain to them." Chu Chu is obviously very trusted and loved by Zhai Jiao. She knows Zhai Jiao's affairs well, Yingying came over and sat next to Zhai Jiao, and said with a smile: "Longquan Mansion is located in the middle reaches of Mudan River, surrounded by the rest of Changbai Mountain, and next to Jingpo Lake in the south. Jie is originally Khitan. The nomadic peoples between Korea and Koryo, since the rise of the "Dragon King" Baiziting, the momentum has grown, and its sphere of influence extends to the Bohai Sea in the east, Goryeo in the south, and neighbors to the Khitan Turks in the southwest. Baiziting admired the culture of China from a young age, so Longquan Mansion was built in the style of Chang'an, and its political system, writing and even clothing customs are all on par with us, so Longquan Mansion has the title of "Little Chang'an". Xu Ziling was very interested, he didn't expect there to be such a place beyond the Great Wall. Kou Zhong was moved and said: "Unexpectedly, Chu Chu is so well-informed. This is the first time we have heard of such a person as Bai Ziting and this little Chang'an of Longquan Mansion." Zhai Jiao snorted coldly: "Where will the people I cultivate be sent? After the news and information came back, they were all sorted out by Chu Chu before they were told to those idiots." Seeing the helpless expressions of the two being scolded as idiots, Chu Chu suppressed a smile and said: "Longquan Mansion was built on a plain. The water in the mansion is clean and full of hot springs. The rice it produces is soft and palatable. Bai Tuliang, famous outside the Great Wall, has always been the fat that the Khitan people covet. Fortunately, Goryeo hopes to use it as a buffer between the Khitan and the Turks, so they are very supportive of Bai Ziting, but if it is not for Tuli and Jieli. Ziting's pressure has been greatly reduced, but he still dare not establish a country suddenly, and the people who oppose this most fiercely are the East Turks and Khitan people, so worshiping Ziting to establish a country, of course, will not be smooth sailing, and the result is even more unpredictable." Only now did the two have a little outline of the whole thing. Zhai Jiao interrupted and said: "Our batch of fur goods was bought from Huihe people through Baiziting. I met him once, and we got on well. The friendship is limited to doing business. This man is very ambitious. Wisdom and martial arts are very good, not simple." Kou Zhongdao: "What's Tuli's attitude towards this matter?" Chu Chu said: "He should not want to see the rise of another force in the east. It's just that he is too busy to take care of himself now and is unable to interfere." Zhai Jiao said: "The founding ceremony of the Jie Kingdom will be held in Longquan Mansion on April 1st, less than two months from now, you two must settle things for me." Kou Zhongdao: "How can Missy grasp the situation outside the Great Wall so clearly?" Zhai Jiao said proudly: "I rely on friends when I go out. I, Zhai Jiao, always do business well. Except for those who have other intentions, no one is willing to make friends with me." Xu Ziling said: "Miss, do you have any friends you trust in the frontier?" Chu Chu replied: "In addition to the Beiba Gang in northern Xinjiang, there are two big gangs and one big faction, collectively called three gangs and one faction. The other two gangs are the Wailian Gang and the Saimo Gang. In the first place, the leader of the latter is Jing Kang, a Han Chinese. Jing Kang and Master Dou have a very close friendship, so they are very supportive of us. If there is any disturbance outside the customs, he will inform our branch in Shanhaiguan, and then pass the letter by flying pigeons. inform us." Kou Zhong clapped his legs and said, "That's it! What we owe is an intelligence network about beyond the Great Wall, and it's finally settled." Xu Ziling said: "Is the head of the Changbai faction 'Zhi Shi Lang' Wang Bo?" Zhai Jiao snorted coldly: "Isn't it just this old guy who said he would give up fighting for the world, but he was always making troubles and making troubles everywhere, and he actually went to seek refuge with Yu Wenhuaji a while ago, but seeing his popularity is declining, he had to slip away with his tail between his legs. Back to Changbai, maybe Wang Bo has a role in dealing with us this time." Kou Zhong smiled and said: "Things are getting more and more interesting. Missy, can you find us the two best war horses, the best bows and arrows, and a detailed road map of the geographical situation outside the Great Wall? I promise that the two will not disappoint Missy." disappointment." Xu Ziling added: "Who should I contact at that time, please let me know." Zhai Jiao said: "Everything you ask for is ready-made. I just bought two of the best purebred Gaochang Maxima from the Turkic people. They are not afraid of the bitter cold and sandstorm outside the Great Wall." Kou Zhong was overjoyed and said: "That's it! Let's set off immediately tonight, kill all the losers of the Beiba Gang, and taste the sweetness and deliciousness of Xiangdao along the way." Chu Chu let out an "ah", showing disappointment, obviously she didn't expect Kou Zhong to move so fast. Even Xu Ziling didn't understand why Kou Zhong left in such a hurry, only Kou Zhongyou knew it, because Chu Chu was so tempting to him, no one knew what would happen if he stayed one more night. Zhai Jiao hesitated to speak, and finally said, "Okay, let's set off tonight, I will arrange everything for you, be careful, outside the Great Wall is not like the Central Plains, there is no place to hide, and you will be short of food and water all of a sudden. In a desperate situation." The two of them were full of pride at the same time, thinking that they would finally have the opportunity to experience the exotic customs that Lao Ba said, what would it be like then?
