Chapter 544 Chapter Six Life and Death Gamble

Accompanied by Jin Zhengzong, Fu Junqiang came here with anger, as if he wanted to settle accounts with Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling. However, no matter whether it is smiling sweetly, frowning slightly, or puffing her cheeks like this moment, showing evil eyebrows, their little aunt still exudes her youthful and fresh beauty, still So touching and lovely. Ba Fenghan said: "I admire Jin Zhengzong." Everyone understood what he meant, what Ba Fenghan admired was Jin Zhengzong's courage, knowing that Kou Zhong's side was like a cloud of masters, if they did not agree with each other, Fu Junqiang's side would undoubtedly suffer.Fu Junqiang is the closed disciple of "Master Yijian" Fu Cailin, unless he asks himself that he is not afraid that Fu Cailin will seek bad luck, he will never dare to touch her.

No one would give special treatment to Kim Jongjong, but being held hostage was enough to make Kim Jongjong feel very uncomfortable. All the soldiers knew that they did not come to fight with hands, what's more, seeing that the leader didn't say anything, they let them drive straight in. Fu Junqiang stared at Kou Zhong from a distance, rode his horse and galloped ahead, and said coquettishly, "Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, get out here." Ba Fenghan saw Fu Junqiang for the second time, the first time in Shanhaiguan, he only had a glimpse of her, and while admiring her appearance and demeanor carefully, he said: "Why don't you leave it to me to deal with her."

Kou Zhong shook his head and said: "Your elder brother will never be able to stand her anger, let Shao Ling and I go!" After striding forward, Xu Ziling followed with a wry smile. Fu Junqiang and Jin Zhengzong jumped off their horses, the former pointed his halberd and said angrily: "Although you two try to make excuses, I have already seen that you are ruthless and despicable people. It is too much, how dare you kill me?" People, grab our boat." Kou Zhong came in front of her and bowed to the ground, of course he secretly defended against her, and said respectfully: "Little Auntie calm down for now, we didn't kill half of the little Auntie's clansman, nor did we rob the little Auntie's boat, just left intact Stay where you are!"

Fu Jiaqiang furiously put his hips on his hips and shouted: "You still dare to call me little auntie? I don't have unworthy disciples like you in Yijianmen, Master will never let you go." Xu Ziling moved to Kou Zhong's side, and said calmly, "Miss Fu, please calm down. We are here as a last resort, but we acted with discretion. The nobles are all safe and sound, please be careful." Fu Junqiang glanced around and asked, "Where are they?" Kou Zhongdao: "They are resting in one of the shipyards, as long as you say a word, we will return them immediately."

Jin Zhengzong interjected: "What about the three ships and the cargo?" Kou Zhong smiled wryly: "Do you two know that Bai Ziting wants to kill me?" Fu Junqiang said harshly: "You deserve it! Who taught you to be the lackeys of the Turkic people?" Kou Zhong could explain to the prejudiced Fu Junqiang, he turned to Jin Zhengzong and said, "Brother Jin, do you know about how Ziting used despicable means to detain the Second Young Master Song?" Jin Zhengzong said in astonishment: "What happened? We thought Mr. Song was with you." Fu Junqiang said in a deep voice: "Nonsense! How dare Bai Ziting act so boldly?"

Xu Ziling said calmly, "What good will it do us to tell such a lie that can be easily debunked?" Kou Zhong was angry, and said coldly: "Your goods have been delivered, and the people from Baiziting received them personally. We just took them from Baiziting, and it has nothing to do with Miss Fu." Fu Junqiang's almond eyes widened, he glared at Kou Zhong and said, "How dare you chew your tongue and say such prevarication to me?" Xu Ziling smoothed things over and said: "Dare to trouble Miss Fu to inform Bai Ziting that as long as all the detained people are willing to be released, we can return the goods."

Kou Zhong laughed and said, "First, I will send a big gift to my auntie." Turning to Belgunatai and others standing at the pier, he shouted: "Please come out with all the guests, and let them go back to Longquan with Miss Fu!" Fu Junqiang flew on the horse, his anger suddenly faded, and he smiled and said, "Young Marshal Kou! We'll just wait and see, what you owe us, one day we will ask you both to return the principal and interest." Draw the rein and shouted to Jin Zhengzong: "Let's go back to Korea. Don't worry about their affairs here, and don't need to worry about people like Bai Ziting anymore."

Just go with the horse. Jin Zhengzong mounted his horse and chased after him, waving his hands and raising his voice, "If the young commander really has the sincerity to let people go, let them go back to China by boat!" The two went away in a blink of an eye. Kou Zhong sighed helplessly to Xu Ziling: "You can see! The enmity with Master is settled!" Xu Ziling smiled wryly and said, "We can only see how God arranges it." Ba Fenghan came to the side of the two, followed Fu Junqiang and Jin Zhengzong who had turned into two small dots, and said with a smile: "How to maintain invincibility under the sword of Master Yijian is probably more difficult than defeating him. This will be the biggest test for both of them."

Belgunath said: "How to deal with those captives?" Kou Zhongdao: "Separate the Goryeo people and the Sumo people. The people from Goryeo let them squeeze into the same boat and go back to the country. They offended Master Yijian anyway, and they simply did nothing. They borrowed their two boats to carry the sheepskins. The Sumo people Let them go back to Longquan, this way, it will be more difficult for Bai Ziting to guess our movements." Bugunatai responded loudly: "Take orders!" Kou Zhong couldn't help laughing and said: "You kid also come to tease me, everyone brother!"

Kou Zhong, Ba Fenghan and Xu Ziling reined in their horses and stopped at the edge of a dense forest in the southwest of Longquan. They deliberately made a big circle to avoid the sentry of the Longquan army. The famous "Lighthouse" outside the south gate of Longquan City is still soaring into the sky. In this afternoon when the rain is over and the sky is clear, the lighthouse exudes a lazy atmosphere. Xu Ziling said: "Last night, I met Lie Xia and a woman who might be 'Poison Water' Wei Naya." The two of them had heard about his experience last night, Ba Fenghan smiled and said: "Lie Xia is mine, you two don't want to fight with my younger brother."

Kou Zhong focused his attention on the south gate where no merchants left, and said: "I'm afraid you have to get Dazhi's consent. In this time of war and chaos, with his style, he will never let Lie Xia go." Xu Ziling said: "Bai Ziting is indeed a character, after suffering such a big loss from Xiaolongquan, he still pretends to be indifferent." Kou Zhong said happily: "When the captives are released collectively, the paper will not be able to contain the fire, and it will severely hit and shake the confidence of the soldiers and civilians in Longquan City." Ba Fenghan laughed and said: "It turns out that your prisoner has such a magical effect, and he lives up to the wise name of the young commander." Xu Ziling said: "How is the young commander?" Kou Zhong said proudly: "Of course I'm in a state of great courage. Last night after killing Shen Mohuan with six knives, my confidence has fully recovered. I'm even stronger than before the injury. How about Ling Shao?" Xu Ziling moved his left hand, and said with a smile, "I don't know what kind of hands and feet Master Shi has done to me. The internal and external injuries have healed to the point of 8899. I just rode here and took the opportunity to adjust my breath. Now I should be able to deal with any situation." Kou Zhong got off Qianlimeng's horse, laughed and said: "Then let our three brothers go to Longquan to see what kind of tricks Bai Ziting dares to play with us. I feel so uncomfortable that he almost killed us this morning. .” The three of them walked to the gate of the city side by side, and the generals guarding the city were very nervous when they stepped up. The guards on the watchtower on the city wall bent their bows and set arrows to aim at the three of them. Over a hundred soldiers crowded out of the city gate. The leading general Su Mo shouted: " stop!" Kou Zhong shouted from a distance: "Let me tell Bai Ziting, I want to negotiate a deal with him face to face." The guard did not dare to neglect, and ordered his subordinates to return to the city and fly to report to worship Ziting. The three of them moved to a grassy slope by the far side of the road and sat down to rest leisurely, recharging their energy to deal with any possible dangers. Ba Fenghan asked, "Where will Ziling go after he hasn't said anything about Longquan?" Xu Ziling said: "I might go to Bashu for a while to complete the task that Shang Xiufang entrusted me to send the Tianzhu Xiao to Shi Qingxuan." Kou Zhong gave Ba Fenghan an ambiguous wink, and said with a smile on his face: "It seems that if we want to visit Young Master Ling in the future, we will have to go to Youlin Xiaogu." Xu Ziling said angrily, "Stop thinking wildly!" Kou Zhong laughed loudly, and asked again: "You just said that I dare not face reality, what do you mean?" Xu Ziling shrugged calmly and said, "It's nothing, it's just that you insisted on accompanying me to visit the eldest lady instead of training and leading the young commander in Pengliang, so I feel that you dare not face the reality and look procrastinated." You have to escape mentality for a while." Kou Zhong complained, "It's just that I didn't want to break up with you so soon, besides, I benefited a lot from this trip, not only learned how to read the weather, but also passed on the skill of riding horses and horses as one, and learned how powerful horses and archers are in battle outside the Great Wall. Said it was a rewarding experience.” Ba Fenghan said: "In my opinion, your biggest gains are not these things, but the connections you have established in the prairie. Take the Gunatai brothers as an example. They are all rebellious people. If you can't make them Their hearts are broken, they are willing to help you with all their strength." Kou Zhong smiled and said: "It was I who first regarded them as brothers, and then tried my best to kill Shen Mohuan for them. They were moved and of course supported me. Alas! I always feel that Belgunatai is quite ambitious and deep in the city. His younger brother is not as forthright as Gunatai." Ba Fenghan said: "Being the leader of a clan is not only about means but also about cultivation of character. What about Tuli? We fought for him, and then went to make peace with Jieli. We were consulted beforehand. opinion? I, Ba Fenghan, will never treat him as a brother again!" Kou Zhong said in astonishment: "I understand your feelings, but the reaction is not as strong as your brother's. I will put myself in his place and imagine for him. He can't just ignore the interests of the Da Da clan just because of his personal problems, right! " Ba Fenghan smiled and said: "You will never understand my true feelings, because you don't have my experience. Besides, you have lived and died with Tuli, and your relationship with him is much deeper than me and him, so you will Try to excuse him. But I am different from you. Tuli and I belong to two hostile classes. He has power, but I have only a sword that wants to steal the sky. Brother! Don’t say I didn’t warn you first , one day Tuli and Xieli will march south together, you better be prepared." Kou Zhong smiled wryly, "Young Master Ling, what do you think?" Xu Ziling sighed: "One day Bi Xuan is not dead, this possibility exists one day." Ba Fenghan's eyes were full of divine light, and he whispered: "Bi Xuan!" Kou Zhong didn't want to deepen Ba Fenghan's dissatisfaction with Tuli through the debate, so he diverted and said, "Didn't Young Master Ling say that he must stay away from the Middle Earth, so as not to hear any news about me, otherwise he can't help but come to rescue me?" Thinking of Shi Zhixuan, Xu Ziling smiled wryly and remained silent. The dense sound of hoofbeats could be heard faintly from the depths of the city gate, Kou Zhong looked towards the city gate and said calmly: "Fu Nanda is mine, you don't want to fight with me." Ba Fenghan laughed loudly, and borrowed his words: "I understand how you feel." The sound of hooves stopped suddenly. The three looked at each other in astonishment, only to see Ke Subie galloping out from the city gate, came close to the three of them, reined in and dismounted his horse, and calmly said: "Your Majesty, I respectfully invite the three of you to enter the city to meet." Kou Zhong and others didn't expect Bai Ziting to do this. Of course, meeting inside the city and meeting outside the city are two completely different things. If they didn't dare to enter the city to see Bai Ziting, they would all be a bit shorter in terms of momentum. Kou Zhong laughed and said, "Your Majesty is so hospitable." Glanced at Ba Fenghan and Xu Ziling each, Ba Fenghan slightly nodded his head, Xu Ziling shrugged his shoulders to express his indifference, he patted Jing Zhongyue on the back and stood up and said: "I still have a sheepskin coat left in the city to mend, I want to It doesn’t work if you don’t enter the city.” Although the south city gate is heavily guarded, and the towers and walls are full of millet soldiers, the atmosphere in the city is not tense. Apart from the increase in patrols, there are still sparse pedestrians dotting the vast Suzaku Avenue, and some shops are open as usual.It can be seen that until now, Bai Ziting is still full of confidence, and it must not be easy to negotiate with someone with such a mentality. If thousands of troops and horses in the city greet them, their hearts will be more stable and more confident. Ke Subie led them through the deep and long archway of the city gate, and came to the door of the restaurant which is the closest door, and said respectfully: "The king is waiting for the three kings inside." Kou Zhong joked, "Are you too busy leading the troops to surround us, so you have no time to accompany us in?" Ke Subie coughed dryly, and said awkwardly: "Young master really likes to joke." Then he lowered his voice and said, "Accept the king's salary, worry about the king, I hope the young commander understands the situation of the subordinate." Xu Ziling's heart moved, and he asked, "What is the official position of Master Hakka?" Ke Subie was slightly surprised, and replied: "The position of the lower official is the right prime minister." Kou Zhong moved, "That's a very big official." The three of them all knew that it was not appropriate to talk to Ke Su, and went to the shop. The interior of the restaurant was spacious, with nearly twenty large round tables set up, Bai Ziting was at the center one, watching the three people come in with a calm expression. The "Crazy Monk from India" Fu Nanda sat on his right, still with that unfathomable expression; Gong Qi sat on the left, exactly three people against three people, and no one else. There are six wine glasses and a bottle of rice wine on the table. Bai Ziting stood up abruptly, and said with a chuckle: "Young commander is highly skilled and bold. He really lives up to his reputation, admiration, please sit down!" While talking, he poured wine for six empty glasses himself. Kou Zhong and the others sat down proudly, filled six cups with fragrant wine, Bai Ziting sat down and toasted: "This is the first time we meet Brother Ba, this cup is for Brother Ba to defeat Bi Xuan in the future. " The six people toasted and drank each other. If someone who does not understand the truth sees this scene, they will think that it is old friends drinking together. Kou Zhong wiped off the wine stains on the corners of his lips, his eyes first fell on Gong Qi's face, he smiled slightly and then turned to Fu Nanda, and said happily: "The national teacher's 'Van Wo Bu Er' really opened my eyes, but unfortunately last night My physical condition has been good for a long time, and I can't enjoy myself to the fullest, ha!" Fu Nanda calmly smiled and said: "It's rare that the young commander is so interested, I hope I won't disappoint the young commander." Bai Ziting put down his wine glass and said lightly: "Young Marshal, please make a condition." Kou Zhong looked up to the sky and said with a smile: "Okay! Your Majesty is finally interested in negotiating a deal. But first I want to ask your Majesty, how confident is your Majesty in the battle against the Turkic Wolf Army?" Bai Ziting said calmly: "Before the confrontation between the two armies, who can predict the victory or defeat? We knew that Xiaolongquan had no danger to defend, so the gains and losses of Xiaolongquan are not on our minds. As for the lost supplies, it is just It can’t be the icing on the cake, and it can’t be a blow to the success or failure of our relationship. Since the king decided to build a country three years ago, we have been preparing for this battle, otherwise I would like to worship Ziting today. in front of Leigh's teeth." He said these words with arrogance, and he looked like he was not afraid of any threats, which was indeed the courage and demeanor of a master negotiator. Gong Qi interrupted and said: "Young Marshal has goods in hand, we have someone in hand, and exchanging goods for others is simple and neat, and everyone can avoid unnecessary trouble." Kou Zhong smiled at Bai Ziting as if he couldn't hear Gong Qi's words: "Does the so-called three-year preparation of the king include connivance of wolves and thieves to plunder and collect money, plundering merchants from all over the place, and extorting money?" Bai Ziting's eyes were full of murderous intent, and then he said: "The young commander must know the taboo of talking to others. I worship Ziting, since I dare not to put Turks in my eyes, I have long thought that I would rather be broken than broken." "boom"! Ba Fenghan slapped the stage with his palm, and the six cups were smashed into pieces at the same time as if they were thrown to the ground, but the wine bottle was miraculously intact. You are a tough guy like an older brother. Your Majesty doesn't care about the loss of Xiaolongquan, but how does he feel about the failure of Wolong Bieyuan?" The three of Bai Ziting's pupils narrowed at the same time, and their faces changed slightly. Kou Zhong and the others applauded in their hearts, Ba Fenghan made a sudden move, first showing the pure internal strength transformed by the "Dafa of Changing the Sun" to a new level, shocking the opponent, and then exposing the opponent's fatal weakness, hitting the opponent's vital point. Kou Zhong smiled and said, "My little brother has a very interesting proposal." Bai Ziting looked at him in astonishment, and said in a deep voice, "Say it!" Kou Zhong's eyes were bright and bright, he stared at Fu Nanda, but his tone was calm and calm, and he said softly: "Why don't we make a big gamble, please ask the king to allow you to fight a life-and-death decisive battle with your country's national teacher, if the one who dies is I, Kou Zhong, my brother will never get entangled. Immediately exchange goods, and additionally send Xiaolongquan. If the loser is a national teacher, in addition to exchanging goods, he has to pay the debt owed by the Pingyao merchant. What's your Majesty's opinion?"
