Chapter 548 Chapter Ten

The three of them changed their clothes, put on their masks, walked across the street boldly, and walked towards the hotel outside. The chaos on the street was still there. Groups of rioters and mobs, looking fiercely and armed with weapons, searched for the three of them. They gave them convenience and didn't worry about interrogating the defenders. Because the enemy's target was obvious, they ignored them.Du Xing will even find someone to pretend to be them to escape Longquan over the wall according to the agreed plan. When the enemy mistakenly thinks that they are not in the city, they can act accordingly.

The three followed a group of people and walked through a section of Zhuque Street, turned into a side alley, Ba Fenghan said: "What do you think of Du Xing?" Kou Zhong spread his hands and said: "I can't detect any flaws, because he did have a big fight with Xu Kaishan. After we settled the matter, we went to Xu Kaishan to settle the score, as well as Lie Xia and Han Chao'an, we will not let anyone go. Humph!" Xu Ziling looked towards the foreign hotel on the opposite side of the street, it was the place where Pingyao merchants stayed, and it was difficult to know good or bad.The best scenario is that Ou Liangcai and others have left the city, and the worst scenario is that they are imprisoned in prison.

Ba Fenghan said: "Now we have no choice but to bet heavily on Du Xing. If he dares to lie to us, I will never let him go." Kou Zhongdao: "Don't look at him full of foul language, but he is a man with a sense of proportion, and a person who understands current affairs. Unless he is willing to give up the business he has worked so hard to run in Shanhaiguan, he has no choice but to cooperate with us obediently. Come and make meritorious deeds. Ha!" Xu Ziling stared at the gate of the foreign hotel, and said: "The vanguard troops here today are not the Turkic wolf army, but the Bodhisattva's Huihe elite soldiers. What kind of psychological impact will it have on Baiziting?"

Kou Zhong said happily: "Young Master Ling is very thoughtful. The influence can be divided into several aspects. First of all, it is about the situation of the Huihe tribe, the Bodhisattva's full support in Tuli, Xieli's approval and his battle in Helenburg. Under the momentum of the sky, he regained what he lost in his clan, so he was able to lead the army to the west. This also means that the Daming Zunjiao lost power in Huihe, and greatly weakened the influence of the Daming Zunjiao on Baiziting." Ba Fenghan sighed: "Tuli finally did the right thing." Kou Zhongxuan analyzed: "Secondly, Jieli and Tuli let the Bodhisattva take the lead, clearly putting pressure on Baiziting to build a state, showing that those who oppose Baiziting's establishment of a country are not limited to the Turks, but also other races of the prairie. If we It's Bai Ziting, I won't be able to sleep tonight."

Xu Ziling shouted at this time: "Look!" Hearing this, the two looked out of the hotel, only to see Guan Ping walking out of the gate shyly, looking left and right. The three hurriedly moved back to avoid his sneaky gaze. Kou Zhongxi said: "Ou Liangcai and others will definitely not be able to leave because the city gate is closed!" Guan Ping flashed out from the gate and walked towards the south gate. Kou Zhong made a decisive decision: "Young Master Ling and Lao Ba are going to follow him, and my younger brother is going to visit an old friend in the library."

Guan Ping got into the small boat hidden under the bridge and rowed to the southwest of Longquan City. Xu Ziling was about to chase along the coast, Ba Fenghan held him by the sleeve and said, "There is another small boat under the bridge, it's better to go by water than by land, who would have thought that we would still be interested in swimming?" The two boarded the boat quickly, and Xu Ziling was in charge of paddling and urging the boat, while hanging Guan Ping who was looming in front of him. Guan Ping was very vigilant, he kept checking the shore, and then looked at them, obviously suspicious of them.

Ba Fenghan said in a low voice, "Looks like it's safer to abandon the boat and go ashore to chase him. Although the difficulty is multiplied, it's better than blatantly following him around the river." Xu Ziling paddled leisurely, and said with a smile: "I bet he went to Xiaohuiyuan, the lair of the Great Ming Lord. This is the same waterway that Kou Zhong and I went to Xiaohuiyuan." Guan Ping turned left at this time and rowed into the waterway heading north. If you follow this direction, you will definitely not be in Xiaohuiyuan, which lives in the southwest.

Ba Fenghan had heard about Xiaohuiyuan from the two of them earlier, and said with a sneer, "You are so cunning, you want to test us!" Then he frowned and said: "If what Du Xing said is true, Meiyan should be a member of Fu Nanda, and should be in opposition to Daming Zunjiao. Why did Meiyan's subordinates go to Xiaohuiyuan?" Xu Ziling didn't follow Guan Ping's river, and went straight westward, saying: "This matter is really puzzling, but Du Xing is not all-knowing, and I'm afraid even he doesn't know the real relationship between Meiyan and Daming Zunjiao. Lie Xia He said that Meiyan was once his woman, I think he is not lying, and his hostility towards Fu Nanda is also sincere."

In front of the towering pagoda of Shengguang Temple, Xu Ziling could not help sighing. Ba Fenghan asked in surprise, "What's on Ziling's mind?" Xu Ziling's mind traveled through time and space, returning to the touching and ecstatic memories of getting along with Shi Feixuan.Where is she now?Whether he was on his way back to the unknown place of Jingzhai, he no longer had any hopes or hopes for the future, and suddenly remembered the bamboo flute that Shang Xiufang asked him to give to Shi Qingxuan. He shook his head and said, "It's nothing! After the incident here, will you go back to Middle Earth with us?"

Ba Fenghan was silent for a while, then said casually: "No! I have to meet someone, and I will go to Luoyang to find Kou Zhong later." Xu Ziling was stunned and said, "Badie?" Kou Zhong raised his spirits and patrolled around the hotel. There must be no enemy surveillance. He climbed over the wall from the backyard and entered. He was afraid that there would be an ambush hidden here by Bai Ziting, so he stepped on the situation one by one. Shang Quan gathered in the hall, took off his mask, entered the hall through the back door and said: "Everyone is safe, I am very pleased."

Ou Liangcai, Luo Yi and the others were sitting facing the city of sorrow, worrying about their future fate, and being shocked by the riots on the street, they were both surprised and happy to see Kou Zhong appearing suddenly. It turned out that they waited until noon this morning according to the appointment, but still did not see Kou Zhong appearing, knowing that something was wrong, they hurriedly left the city, unexpectedly all the gates of the city were forbidden to enter and exit, so they had no choice but to return to the hotel. Kou Zhong sighed: "Now we have to leave immediately, otherwise Bai Ziting will remember you sooner or later, he is now completely lost, full of hostility, and will not let anything go." Luo Yi sighed: "The young commander has the ability to go high and low, and he can go as he pleases, but how can we go?" Kou Zhongdao: "I don't want you to go out of the city gate with me, but to move you to a safe place first. I have a very capable friend here, and I will see the opportunity to send you to a safe place. Tomorrow we will be able to Take the boat back to Shanhaiguan, and your debt will be settled. Don't worry! I will keep you no matter what." Everyone was overjoyed, and hurriedly picked up the simple luggage that had been prepared for a long time. At this terrible moment, "Bang bang bang"!The main door of the outer courtyard was knocked resoundingly, every knock hit the vital parts of Kou Zhong and everyone's heart like thunder. Three of them lost their legs and fell to the ground in shock. Luo Yi and the others were also pale. Gong Qi's voice came in and said: "This place is surrounded by me, get out immediately." Even with Kou Zhong's toughness and confidence, he would break out in a cold sweat.He couldn't leave them alone to escape, what should he do this time?Gong Qi is also very lucky, he actually knows that he is here. Gong Qi shouted again: "Don't come out and open the door for me yet." Kou Zhong was surprised, if Gong Qi wanted to deal with him, he would definitely break the door or jump over the wall and rush in to attack him, so he was caught off guard, how could he tell him to open the door. Soon he came to his senses, Gong Qi didn't know that Kou Zhong was here, but came to detain Luo Yi and the others, he had an idea, and immediately took it to heart. Under the setting sun and mist, Longquan Shangjing, which is everywhere on the river bridge, is still so charming even on the eve of the war.The golden-blue river flows quietly, and the misty sky around the boat is enveloped by the water vapor rising from the hot spring river in the twilight, which is constantly changing as the boat moves. Piece of leisurely and comfortable floating clouds. Ba Fenghan said indifferently: "Do you know why I want to break up with Badelle?" Xu Ziling was moved in his heart, because Ba Fenghan regarded himself as a confidant, so he would only reveal the secret things and emotions in his heart. Ba Fenghan showed a helpless and bitter expression.Looking at the river, he sighed: "The biggest problem is that we belong to two different classes of people, and we are doomed to be like this since birth. Everyone is very different in terms of living habits, ways of thinking, and life goals. At the beginning, it was still reliable to break through. The support of all taboo passionate love, the excitement and forgetfulness of turning hatred into a lover overwhelmed everything. But when I couldn't make her look like myself, and she was disappointed because I didn't make any changes for her, The friction increased day by day until it finally became unbearable." Although Xu Ziling didn't know what actually happened between them, he could still imagine Ba Daier, a noble girl from the Turkic nobility, being captured by Ba Fenghan with a vengeful mentality. She betrayed her own class. To invest in Ba Fenghan, one must bear tremendous pressure. Ba Fenghan smiled wryly and said: "That morning she left by herself. When she left, I was just lying to sleep, and she knew I was lying to sleep, but I didn't keep her, which made her hate me to the bone. The past can never be undone. , it is even more impossible for us to relive the old dreams. Over the years, I have become more and more indifferent to the relationship between men and women, and I have no return to the old feelings, but I still have a sincere apology for her in my heart. I have been unwilling to think about it, let alone dare to think about it. On the wall of Lianbao, the moment I faced death, I suddenly felt the only regret in my heart. At that time, I had decided that if I survived by chance, I would go to see her once and express my regret to her." Xu Ziling frowned and said, "But she may not only ask for your confession or apology." The small boat slowly stopped at the bottom of the bridge, and Xiaohuiyuan appeared in the depths of the mist to the left. If any boat approached the pier behind the garden, they would not be able to escape their surveillance. Ba Fenghan said: "She will, no one understands me better than her, and no one loves me more deeply than her, as long as she knows that she is the only woman in Ba Fenghan's heart, and she is still like this, she probably Will let me go. Alas! My mother!" A small boat appeared in the misty waterway beyond Xiaohuiyuan and sailed slowly. Kou Zhong made a decisive decision and said to Luo Yi and the others: "Don't be afraid! They will never dare to hurt you, and I will go to jail with you." After saying that, he ran towards the gate, took out the mask and put it on. Fortunately, to avoid people's eyes and ears, the knife and bow were hidden in the outer robe, unless the other party searched, otherwise he would not be found.I hope that in this time of turmoil, the other party will be careless and unable to maintain the usual rigorous style. When I came to the gate of the outer courtyard and the square of the main hall, I suddenly remembered something, screamed in my heart, and was about to get another mask and put it on. "Boom"! The latch was broken, and the outer courtyard door was forced open. Kou Zhong, who was wearing an ugly doctor's mask, pretended to have weak feet, sat down on the ground, and shouted in panic, "My lord, spare my life! My lord, spare my life!" Surrounded by a large number of Su Mo soldiers, Gong Qi rushed in ferociously, staring at Kou Zhong on the ground with fierce eyes, and shouted coldly: "Go in and search! Don't miss half of them." Warriors like wolves and tigers rushed from both sides of Kou Zhong to the lobby. Accompanied by six or seven of his subordinates, Gong Qi came down to Kou Zhong, stared at him fiercely and said, "What's your name?" A civil servant next to him took out a file from his pocket and opened it for inspection. Kou Zhong groaned in his heart, he didn't expect the other party to do things so meticulously, but he came to check his identity, so he wanted to reveal his true colors, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Small man Guan Ping! My lord, spare me!" While thinking about how to use the most severe method to kill this bastard in one fell swoop. The official nodded and said, "This name is on the list." Gong Qi's fierce light was more intense, he put his hand on the handle of the knife, looked at Kou Zhong coldly and said, "I seem to have seen you somewhere." Kou Zhong relaxed, at least this group of people, including Gong Qi, didn't know that Guan Ping was a glamorous person and also worked for Bai Ziting.It can be seen that Longquan is in a mess, and the efficiency of doing things is not as good as before. He said tremblingly: "This is the first time for the villain to meet an adult. I don't know if I met him on the street?" Gong Qixian recalled the time he met him on the other side of the street, so he let go of his doubts, and instead of looking at him, he turned his eyes to the lobby, and one of his subordinates rushed out and reported: "There are only sixteen, and there is still one missing." Gong Qi pointed at Kou Zhong coldly and said, "Do you count this cowardly guy?" The subordinate was astonished and lost his mind and said in panic: "My lord, forgive me, it's the villain's negligence." Kou Zhong was secretly delighted, the death of Funanda, the fall of Xiaolongquan and the pressure of the Bodhisattva's vanguard would definitely shake the morale of the Longquan army and make them lose their position. That's why he made this kind of joke, which naturally greatly facilitated his actions. Gong Qi furiously said: "Idiot! Immediately escort all the prisoners back to the palace and put them in prison." The two looked at it with their gods, and they were all stunned. It was not Guan Ping who was on the boat, but Lie Xia, who was taught by Da Mingzun to the Wu Mingzi. Xu Ziling used his skills to move the boat back so that the other party would not see it. Lie Xia moored the boat to the wharf and disembarked. The two stayed for a while, but Guan Ping's boat still did not appear. Ba Fenghan sighed: "Du Xing didn't lie, Guan Ping didn't come to Xiaohuiyuan at all, we might have missed an opportunity to find Meiyan. But knowing that she is still in this area of ​​the city can greatly narrow the scope of looking for her. " Xu Ziling said: "Should we go back and join Kou Zhong?" Ba Fenghan shook his head and said: "It's called being safe when you come, and making mistakes when you're wrong. Lie Xia wanted your life last night, how can we allow him to live in peace and ease." Xu Ziling frowned and said, "But we don't know the strength in the park, and it's not good for us if things get bigger." Ba Fenghan turned his eyes to the dimly lit southern city wall behind Xiaohui Garden, and said with a smile, "It's very convenient to fight or flee here, and the bigger the trouble, the better. The best thing is that all the soldiers in the city Come here. But according to my opinion, the Great Ming Zunjiao will never disturb Bai Ziting, because they still don't want us to know about their relationship with Bai Ziting, let alone have not broken their skin with us yet." Thinking of Duan Yucheng, Xu Ziling sighed in his heart, Ba Fenghan's style was tyrannical, he would use his sword if he was not good, and said with his last effort: "If Xu Kaishan is inside, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to get out." Ba Fenghan was surprised: "How can Ziling be afraid of anyone, is there another reason?" Xu Ziling told Duan Yucheng with a wry smile. Ba Fenghan laughed dumbly and said: "What's wrong with killing a few, go!" The boat sailed out of the bottom of the bridge and slid towards the pier outside the backyard of Xiaohuiyuan. Ba Fenghan tore off the mask and said with a smile: "Every time I put on the mask, I can't help but marvel at Lu Miaozi's ingenious hands." Lu Miaozi's voice appeared in Xu Ziling's heart, and he couldn't help but think of Shang Xiuxun's touching expression when he was eating delicious food. With all kinds of feelings in his heart, he took off his mask like Ba Fenghan. Suddenly the two of them became alert, and when they looked back, a speedboat was chasing after them. There was a man and a woman on board. Both sides were surprised when they met each other from a distance. The man was Subie, the right minister under Bai Ziting's seat, and the woman was Zong Xianghua, the head of the bodyguard. The two of them came to Xiaohuiyuan when Longquan was in dire straits. Naturally, they had something important to do with Daming Zunjiao. leadership discussions. Ba Fenghan and Xu Ziling complained badly, and the speedboat chased them to a distance of three zhang. Xu Ziling sighed secretly, and moored the boat beside Lie Xia's boat. Zong Xianghua and Ke Subie's speedboat approached. The former pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword, his brows frosted, but what was shot out of his eyes was not pure hatred, but rather complicated emotions. Ba Fenghan said spontaneously: "Hello, both of you!" Ke Su was surprisingly not hostile, slowly moored the speedboat beside their boat, and said with a wry smile: "The two of you should understand better than anyone else, what's so good about us?"
