Chapter 27 Chapter Four

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling followed Qin Shubao to the top of a hill, the peaks behind them were connected, and the vast plain was in front of them. Surabaya flowed five miles to the left. Qin Shubao sat down and said, "Let's rest for a while, and gather your mind." The two then sat on the grass, Kou Zhong said: "Who is that Lu Miaozi who can make such a powerful catch net?" Qin Shubao shook his head and said, "I don't really know, alas! Then do you still think about other people and things?" After pondering for a while, he said to the two of them, "Since you helped her deal with our Great Sui Army, why did you refuse to join the Wagang Army when you had such a good opportunity?"

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling glanced at each other, thinking of Zu Junyan and outsiders plotting against the leader Zhai Rang, they still had lingering fears.The latter replied: "We have seen some things with the Wagang Army recently, and we are no longer interested in joining them." Qin Shubao didn't ask, but thought about it: "Shen Luoyan is Li Mi's number one counselor. He is very wise and scheming. If we are sure and then capture us alive, it must be a lie. Let's play with her, and we will split up and escape first. She can't take care of both, it messes her up."

Kou Zhong shook his head and said, "Xiao Ling and I will never be separated, it has been like that since we were young." Qin Shubao nodded and said, "Then divide them into two groups!" Pointing to the plain below, he said: "To capture us alive, we must first follow us. I will run to the plain later, and you stay here to look down on me and see how that stinky bitch tracks me. As long as I know her method, I will Know what to avoid." Xu Ziling frowned and said, "But you have gone far, how can we notify you?" Qin Shubao took out a small bronze mirror from his arms, handed it to the two men and said: "This is a way to communicate by reflecting the sunlight, waiting for the lights at night." Then he told the two how to communicate, and then said: "Three days later, We will meet at the east gate of Pengcheng, if we really win against the woman, we three brothers will go to eat a big meal from his grandma, and we will never get drunk."

Laughing loudly, he ran down the hill. The two concentrated their attention, watching Qin Shubao gradually go away, and at the same time looking around to observe the enemy's tracks. Unexpectedly, Qin Shubao turned into a small dot on the edge of the plain.Still can not see the other half of the figure. Kou Zhong laughed and said: "It turns out that beautiful woman was just bluffing!" Xu Ziling also relaxed, and urged, "Have you heard any good news yet?" Kou Zhong triumphantly held his mirror to the sun and issued a signal. Qin Shubao in the distance was stunned for a while before continuing to escape, out of sight.

Kou Zhongdao: "It will be three hours before it gets dark, if we go to Pengcheng by the waterway again, this work will be unexpected by Mrs. Shen." Xu Ziling said: "Look at me! Find the highest mountain, hide his mother there for three days and three nights, run away when anyone comes, and go up." Kou Zhong shook his head and said: "Don't forget that our peerless qinggong has not yet been practiced, so we can't outrun that woman. So we have to go to places like Pengcheng, if that woman comes, we will call Wagang on the street The army killed people! At that time, our own officers and soldiers interfered and resisted, and we could get away calmly."

Xu Ziling felt that what he said was reasonable, so he stopped talking and ran to Surabaya with Kou Zhong. The two of them ran high and low, choosing the wild mountain trails without roads and people, and detoured to the upper reaches of Surabaya, which was thirty miles away from the river section where they met Shen Luoyan. I don't know if it was because of the war, it took a long time to see a boat passing by on the river, but no matter how "coercive" the two men were, no one was willing to stop the boat. They were not used to boarding the boat by force, so they could only look at the river and sigh.

After walking along the river for a long time, a ferry appeared in front of him, and a small fishing boat was moored, but there was no one there. The two were overjoyed and rushed over. As they approached, they heard the sound of snoring coming from inside the canopy of the boat. The two of them looked up and saw an old fisherman lying on the high bed as a Yuanlong, sleeping unconscious. Kou Zhongdao: "If this is a trap, even if we lose, we will be willing to die." Xu Ziling drew out his long knife, and said viciously: "I'm not so easy to believe, this must be her man."

Then he winked at Kou Zhong. Kou Zhong understood.He also drew out his long knife and said with a sneer, "It's better to let others bear me than to let others bear me." He jumped down, snatched to the side of the boat tent, and stabbed the old fisherman's vest with his knife. The long knife points back and stops. Kou Zhong laughed, retracted his long knife, and gestured to Xu Ziling that everything was in order. At this moment, the snoring stopped suddenly, the old fisherman woke up with a start, and sat up sleepily, before Kou Zhong had time to greet him, the old fisherman let out a horrified cry, slipped into the bow from the other side of the canopy, and shouted: "There are robbers!" !” Then he crawled to the shore with trembling hands and feet, and left without his life.

The two of them stared at the forest where he disappeared into the shore like a bird, and Kou Chen said apologetically, "The old man must have been patronized by robbers before, so he reacted so strongly." Xu Ziling shrugged and said: "This fishing boat may be his only property. If we lose it because of us, how can we feel sorry?" Kou Zhong looked at the fishing boat reluctantly, jumped back to the shore, and said with a wry smile: "It all depends on our powerful lightness kung fu that shocks the martial arts." The two reluctantly left and walked forward along the river. After walking more than ten feet, the old fisherman came out from the forest and walked towards the fishing boat.

The two were overjoyed, Kou Zhong shouted: "Old man! We are not robbers!" The old fisherman was startled, bent his body and jumped onto the fishing boat.Desperate to untie the rope that tied the fishing boat to the ferry. When the two of them ran back, if the fisherman lost his mind and still couldn't untie the knot, the knot would get tighter and tighter. Kou Zhong knelt down on the ferry, untied him, and said, "Old man! Do you think we look like robbers?" The old fisherman obviously wasn't so scared anymore, he gasped and said in a hoarse voice, "What do you want me to do, sir?"

Xu Ziling said politely: "Where is the old man going? If we go upstream, can you give us a ride?" The old fisherman became more courageous and said, "You have to pay for the boat." Kou Zhongwei wondered: "We don't have half a penis on our bodies, can this old man take it as a good intention?" The old fisherman frowned and said, "Where are you going?" Xu Ziling tentatively said: "It's best to go to Pengcheng, but let's see if it's convenient for me!" The old fisherman said: "That can't be done. It will take at least one day to get to Pengcheng. How can I have time to fish? I don't do things without money." Then he squinted his eyes and looked at the two of them for a while, then smiled and said, "How about that! Both of your knives seem to be worth a few taels of silver, so let's pay the old man for the boat!" Kou Zhong said unhappily: "Why is it only selling for a few taels of silver? Our knives are all high-quality goods..." The old fisherman said impatiently: "It's fine if you don't agree, the old man is going to sail." Xu Ziling pulled Kou Zhong aside, and said in a low voice: "It seems a bit inappropriate. This old man might really belong to Shen Luoyan, otherwise, how could he not be afraid that we would become angry from embarrassment. He would take advantage of his power and confiscate our money." weapon?" Kou Zhong nodded and said: "You can try him again, if there is no problem, give him the knife before you can grab the other two, it's not a big deal." After finishing speaking, he waved to the old fisherman and said, "We won't take the boat anymore, old man please!" The old fisherman grunted twice, ignored the two of them, and sailed the small sailboat away from the ferry. Suspicious, the two jumped across the river and landed on the fishing boat. The old fisherman turned pale with fright and couldn't speak. Kou Zhong laughed and said, "Old man, don't misunderstand, but we suddenly want to make a deal with you again. After arriving in Pengcheng, these two knives will be yours." The old fisherman breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I don't dare to take your knives anymore. When you arrive at Qinglong Beach later, you will help cast the net and fish, and then go to Pengcheng to deliver the goods. It will be your boat fee." The speed of the fishing boat slowed down, the old fisherman instructed Xu Ziling to row the stern, and Kou Zhong held up the pole, and said nervously: "The corner ahead is the 'Ghost Rock Gorge', the current is fast, and every time the old man blows past, he is worried, so he knows Qinglong Beach has the most fish, but I dare not go there.” Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked forward, only to see the cliffs on both sides turned and narrowed gradually, the situation is dangerous, at the same time, they thought that if someone ambushed by the shore, it would be very dangerous.Concentrate busy, while maneuvering the boat, while paying attention to the movements on both sides of the strait. The fishing boat forged ahead against the current and turned a sharp bend, only to see that the cliff bank suddenly narrowed, and the current was turbulent. Thousands of boulders emerged from the water near the shore, with different shapes, making the water flow more like a wild horse that had taken off, rushing and rushing. The boat swayed left and right.The river is full of undercurrents.Quite soul-stirring. The three of them worked together, Xu Ziling steered the boat at the stern; Kou Zhong propped his pole towards the reef to prevent the fishing boat from colliding with it; and the old fisherman controlled the sail to maintain the correct course. The fishing boat is advancing hard. When turning another corner, the fishing boat suddenly leaned against a boulder on the left bank. Kou Zhong laughed loudly and said, "Look at me!" Jumping to the bow, stick out the long pole, and hit the rock fiercely. I don't know if it was caught in a rapid current, or Kou Zhong used too much force, the bow of the fishing boat first swung to the right, across the river, and then the whole boat tilted to the right. The river immediately poured into the cabin, and the fishing boat suddenly capsized to the right. When the three screamed in unison, they were already in the river. Kou and Xu are not even afraid of the sea, and they are not afraid of this mere stretch of Surabaya.When it came out of the water, the old fisherman seemed to have passed out, floating and sinking with the water, and going downstream. The two were taken aback and swam desperately to the old fisherman. With this effort, he caught up with the old fisherman after a while, and grabbed him from the water. When I was relieved.The old fisherman's eyes were wide open, and he shot out a frightening light. The two of them just screamed together, their whole body went numb, and the old fisherman had already locked the vital acupoints on his flanks. The old fisherman laughed, and led the two of them to swim to the left bank. When the two were thrown into the grass by the bank, the old fisherman straightened up his hunchbacked body, and said proudly: "I, Mo Cheng, am a 'wild old man', and I am here to capture the two young masters under the order of Miss, please! There are only three hours to escape." After saying that, I laughed out loud. The two regained their strength, sat up, looked at each other and smiled wryly. Kou Zhong said distressedly: "This is unreasonable, why are they able to know our whereabouts so well?" Xu Ziling sighed, "This old guy is really pretending to be." Kou Zhong thought hard: "If we can't see through their stalking methods, sooner or later we will be captured by them again, how can we hold our heads up and be human again." Xu Ziling looked around and said in a low voice, "I wonder if Qin Shubao is as useless as us?" Kou Zhong said unhappily: "Shen Luoyan's main target is Qin Shubao, so naturally she will deal with it personally, and he will not be spared. Sigh! Use your brains! Look! It's almost dark." Xu Ziling stared at the red sun sinking towards the horizon, frowned and said, "She must have done some tricks on us to keep up with us so easily." The two trembled at the same time.You look into my eyes. Kou Zhong clapped his legs and said, "There must be something wrong with Lu Miaozi's fishing net." Then he looked closely at his hands, feet and clothes, and he found that there was a little bit of dust, if he didn't pay attention, he would never have caught it. aware.By this time the river had washed away most of the powder on the skin, but there was still a lot of clothes left. Xu Ziling warned: "Don't check any more! Maybe someone is spying on us!" Kou Zhong said in amazement: "What kind of trick is this? It can't be wiped off! It is colorless and tasteless. This beauty is really powerful, it can be seen that she has premeditated, she wants to capture us alive as a bet, so that we can be convinced .” Xu Ziling leaned into his ear and said, "If the clothes are stained, you can still take them off, but you can't cut off your hair, hands and feet. What should we do this time? The enemy may come again soon." Kou Zhong sniffed for a long time with his nose, then said in a low voice: "This powder should have nothing to do with the smell, otherwise even if the other party can track us by the smell, they can only chase after us. Unlike before, we can set a trap first, and then we will be able to catch up with us." Wait for us ahead." Xu Ziling said distressedly: "We are too careless, and we don't know that someone has tampered with us, but even if we send people to guard all the commanding heights within a radius of a hundred miles, we have special means to use these powders to watch day and night. We, but if we want to lay a trap earlier than we did just now, we must have a very fast and effective communication method, and at night, we must use lights, but how can we deceive us?" Kou Zhong lay down on the grass slumped, looked up at the sunset clouds in the sky, and pondered: "We must have made a mistake in our guess. I remember that when Qin Shubao left, we looked down at him for a while, but we didn't notice him at all. got powder on them. If the powder glowed at night, you and I should both be able to see each other. And they'd have to keep watch on all the high places, which is neither easy nor impractical. If we hid somewhere deep in the mountains Thinking about it, this method is even more useless. If you hide on the highest peak as you said just now, they will not be able to use their skills, so the beauty's military division must have other wonderful methods, otherwise she is not worthy of her rich wisdom In the name of counting." The two were under the pressure of Shen Luoyan.Forced to use his talents, he vowed to fight to the end. In fact, since they obtained the "Secret of Longevity", their lives have undergone earth-shaking changes, and they are constantly coping with various challenges.Just like stubborn jade is constantly being carved and polished, gradually revealing its beautiful essence. Xu Ziling lay down next to Kou Zhong, just in time to see a blue bird circling twice above it, then threw it into a nearby dense forest, and said in his heart, "Maybe these powders are not for people to see, but for trained birds Like a falcon, it helps hunters to hunt down their prey. So now even if we cover our whole body with a cloth, or hide in a cave, we still cannot hide from the bird's eyes, because it has identified us." Kou Zhong sat up in shock, looked around and said, "You're right, this is the most reasonable explanation. Just now there was a strange bird flying around on it. Damn it, wait for me to beat it." Let it come down to deliver wine." Xu Ziling laughed hoarsely and said, "It's probably useless to beat it now. With Shen Luoyan's intelligence, she must have guessed the method we used to detect her because of this failure. Don't forget that old guy touched us again just now and said Maybe we will do another trick. If we are still stupid and poor at dealing with the double-haired animals, we will only laugh at this beautiful woman." After Kou Zhong looked at Xu Ziling for a while, he scratched his head Said: "Usually, if you talk about ghost ideas, you kid can't catch up with me. Unexpectedly, in the current situation, your thinking is more careful than my Zhong Shao. Mr. Xu Junshi, what should we do now ?” Xu Ziling sat up, leaned into his ear and said, "We must not lose to that woman again this time. When it comes to tracking, we can't go both ways. But no matter how powerful the stinky woman is, there are still her subordinates who can compare with the lightness kung fu." We are so smart that we still don't know that we can come and go underwater without breathing." Kou Zhong nodded and said: "If we hide at the bottom of the water, unless the island can fly to the bottom of the water, we will disappear without a trace. Sigh! But there is still a waterway of about 30 miles away from Pengcheng, and we have to swim to the bottom of the water. If we go to Pengcheng, we will be exhausted to death." Xu Ziling smiled lowly and said: "Young Master Zhong, why did you become an idiot? We will hide in the bottom of the water later. As long as there is a boat passing by, we can attach to the bottom of the boat. In this way, there will be no need for a boat to ride." Kou Zhong applauded.It was already dark at this time, the two of them gave a strange cry, jumped up, ran along the bank first, reached a dense forest, then dived into the bottom of the river, and then quickly swam downstream, farther away from Pengcheng. Sure enough, the strange bird flew in from nowhere, circled the river for a few times, uttered a cry, then rushed into the sky, and disappeared. At this time, three big ships with five masts came from the lower reaches, and the two were overjoyed, they floated up and attached themselves to the bottom of one of the ships. Not long after the two left, three people, including the "wild old man" Mo Cheng, came out of the forest and came to the place where the two entered the water. They scanned the river with burning eyes. Get away. It should be known that martial arts masters who are proficient in water, although they have the art of breathing underwater.But never last.Like Kou and Xu, they are congenitally breathing.Being able to stay underwater for a long time is comparable to first-class figures such as Du Fuwei, Yu Wenhuaji, and Zhai Rang. This is exactly the characteristic of "Longevity Jue", one is to practice until you become obsessed, if you succeed, you will start with the best way of breathing and nourishing your health, and the first-class Xuan Gong will lead you to the same goal. Therefore, although the martial arts and lightness skills of the two are just a bit of Jun'er who is a master of martial arts, their minds are at the level of masters; they have laid an incomparably solid foundation for their development. Shen Luoyan's loss this time has nothing to do with intelligence, but because things are too absurd. Mo Cheng and others were searching along the river, and when they saw the three big ships coming against the current, they stopped to watch. As the big ship went away, Mo Cheng's expression became extremely serious, and he said to the other two in a low voice: "These three ships are pulling the flag of the Li Clan, if the lord Li Yuan is on board, something important will happen to Pengcheng Now, let's go back and report to Miss immediately." After speaking, the three of them disappeared into the darkness beside the shore.
