Chapter 50 Chapter 5 Entanglement of Love and Evil

Xingyang City. heavy snow. The Daiqing Mansion has not yet opened its doors to welcome guests, Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling and Su Su hid in the unoccupied wing of one of the small buildings in the front yard, quietly waiting for the boy in the cloth shop. Pepe has become their only hope of escape. Now even Xu Ziling was seriously injured, with Kou Zhong alone, he really couldn't escape the city with the two of them. Shen Luoyan, who lost his roster, will do everything possible to hunt them down. Because that involves the rise and fall of the Wagang Army. Kou Zhong looked out of the window and said in a low voice: "I really didn't lie to you, that woman Shen Luoyan had an unusual expression when she mistakenly thought you were dead, she wasn't pretending."

Xu Ziling was recuperating with his legs crossed, when he heard this, he opened his eyes impatiently and said, "Stop talking! I get angry when I think of her." Kou Zhong turned his head away and warned: "Don't be impatient, be careful that you will go crazy." Xu Ziling was taken aback, knowing that due to his injury, his skills had weakened and his mood was prone to fluctuations, so he hurriedly meditated and thought about it, and returned to a calm state of mind. Su Suqiao blushed slightly and said: "Shen Luoyan once asked about the relationship between my sister and you, and she didn't seem to believe it after I told you. Looking back, she might be really jealous!"

Kou Zhong turned his eyes back to the snowy world outside, nodded and said: "Mrs. Shen once said before that if she wants to marry, she should choose Xiaoling, and I can be her lover. At that time, she thought she was joking, Now that I think about it, it’s a little bit of a joke. Ha! If she can make her single-minded and distressed, then she will have revenge for everything!" Then excitedly said: "Hey! Here we come!" "Bang! Bang! Bang!" There was a knock on the door. Holding the wrapped cloth, the guy was so cold that he yelled, "The satin and brocade delivery man is here!"

A big man opened the door in the lobby and came out, crossed the square in the front yard, pushed the door open a little, and asked, "What's the matter?" The boy handed the cloth to the big man and muttered, "Of course it's high-quality silk and satin, it's for Miss Pepe." After speaking, he hurried away through the snow without looking back. The big man was stunned for a while, and then went back to the house with the satin brocade in his hand. Kou Zhong hurriedly prostrated himself on the floor, listening closely to the movement downstairs. I only heard a woman ask: "He Fu! What's the matter?"

He Fuying said: "It's so strange! Someone sent a piece of high-quality silk and satin, and specified that it would be given to the proprietress." The woman said: "This is strange. The proprietress has not personally greeted the guests for a long time, yet someone came to please her. Put it with her first, let's talk about it when she comes back!" Kou Zhong got the idea, flashed out of the side room, came back in a short while and said, "Pepei is the proprietress here, she lives in a quiet house in the backyard, but now she has gone somewhere." Xu Ziling said: "This is not a good place to hide, why don't we hide in her boudoir!"

Kou Zhong applauds the plan, picks up Susu and leads the way. Xu Ziling chased after him without difficulty. If Yang Xuyan witnessed the current situation with his own eyes, he would be shocked and couldn't believe his eyes. But they don't know that the "Secret of Longevity" is actually the secret of Taoism that has not been handed down through the ages.It has the ability to overwhelm the heaven and earth, and make ghosts and gods unpredictable. When Yang Xuyan pierced Xu Ziling's lower abdomen with his sword, he was blocked by the roster and slowed down a bit. It was such a momentary buffer that enabled Xu Ziling to dissipate the multiple deadly force sent by his sword point in time.

There is a sea of ​​qi under the abdomen, this part is injured, it is difficult to heal, especially for martial arts practitioners. However, the function of "Longevity Formula" is to preserve life and longevity, and Kou Zhongyi from the same source helped him to heal, so in just one night, Xu Ziling recovered most of his strength and created an unbelievable miracle. Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling and Su Su were among them, of course they took it for granted, not surprising. But Shen Luoyan was so tired that she made a wrong calculation and concentrated her search on the dwellings in the deep alley with a radius of two miles from her home, so that the three of them could easily hide here.

At this time, the girls in Daiqing Courtyard are just getting up, everyone is taking a shower and changing clothes, and they have not left their rooms yet, so there are only occasional servants and servants passing by in the corridors of the courtyard. The three of them came to the proprietress Peipei's house without any danger, avoided the two maidservants in the front hall, and hid in her boudoir. How could Kou Zhong be polite, he opened the quilt, first asked Susu, who was shivering from the cold, to get into the quilt, then watched Xu Ziling lie on the other side, and sat at the end of the bed with a smile: "Wagang Army doesn't seem to be that powerful, at least So far, we haven’t been able to do anything about it.”

Su Su said angrily: "The worst thing about Xiao Zhong is that he is easy to be complacent. It's not too late to be complacent after escaping from the city!" Xu Ziling said: "Since the opening of Yangzhou, we have lived a life of escape day and night. I really hope to find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to settle down and live a peaceful life." Susu excitedly discusses what kind of place to live in is ideal.After a while Kou Zhong asked about Yang Xuyan's martial arts, after Xu Ziling explained it in detail, he still had lingering fears and said: "This man's internal strength has reached the state where he can do whatever he wants. The pulling force made me completely unable to perform at my usual level."

Kou Zhong murmured: "This is very interesting. But if he can do it, we should also be able to do it." Su Su asked curiously: "Did Xiao Ling really not see his appearance?" Xu Ziling said: "This matter is even more strange. The place where he and I fought was dark and dark, but my eyes were full of sword lights, and his movement was as fast as a ghost. I couldn't even see whether he was tall, short, fat, or thin." Kou Zhong patted his legs and said: "I understand. Try to press your eyes with your fingers, and you will soon have golden stars. Yang Xuyan must have used this principle to create pressure on your eyes with a sword, which made you delusional. .Alas! This kid is quite powerful."

Xu Ziling nodded and said, "Maybe it's true as you said. But his sword is even more terrifying. Even if he hits it, he will miss it, but when he hits it, he is slippery and can't touch it. Does it mean that so many domineering characters have to Drink hatred under his sword." Kou Zhong let out a sigh of relief: "This guy is a bit daft. Huh!" The three of them kept silent. The sound of footsteps approached from far away, even Susu could faintly hear them, and then the two maidservants in the outer hall said in unison: "Madam is back!" The three people in the room were overjoyed, knowing that they finally found Pepe. A slightly indifferent, deep but beautiful female voice said: "What is this?" One of the maidservants replied: "I don't know who bought a bolt of silk from a time-honored store on West Street and sent someone to deliver it, specifying that it was for Madam. Yunniang has been notified about this." Peipei was silent for a while, then calmly said: "Go and call Yunniang for me." The two maidservants went as ordered. Kou Zhong, who pricked up his ears to eavesdrop, heard the sound of Peipei sitting down, and said in a low voice, "Listen to what they have to say first." Xu Ziling said, "Isn't Yun Niang the coquettish lady who received us that day?" Kou Zhong nodded yes. Suddenly, the three of them were a little nervous. Now Pepe can be said to be their last hope. If the road is blocked, you can only escape by your own strength. Before Xu Ziling was not injured, it was still difficult to do it, but now it is even more difficult. After a while Yunniang came, Peipei sent away the two maidservants, and said: "Did you find out what happened?" Yun Niang replied respectfully: "I have asked, the person who bought the cloth should be Su Su, and the time was yesterday afternoon. It seems that those two boys used stone-throwing techniques to find out Madam." The three people in the room felt stunned when they heard it, because when Yunniang talked about them, her tone was not polite. Peipei pondered for a while, and said: "The truth should be so, but I'm afraid they won't be able to come. Now Xu Ziling was wounded by Yang Xuyan, and his life and death are uncertain. Shen Luoyan is trying his best to search for their whereabouts. Just now she sent me to speak, pointing out if If I, the Baling Gang, dare to intervene in this matter, I will not be polite. So we must not touch our hands." Kou Zhong and the other three looked at each other, their hearts sank. Yunniang outside complained: "I was killed by Young Master Xiang this time! I offended the Wagang Army, how can I still gain a foothold in Xingyang?" Peipei said: "The only way is for Shen Luoyan to cooperate obediently. Just now I deliberately stayed alone to see if Kou Zhong would show up to meet me. Now it has been confirmed that he has not come. I will report this to Shen Luoyan .If they really come, you have to try to keep them safe, and we will talk about everything when I come back." After saying that, he went out. At this time, even the last hope of the three of them was disillusioned. After returning everything in the room to its original state, they left quietly. Under the cover of heavy snow, Kou Zhong carried Susu on his back, quickly crossed several houses and landed in the large garden of Xu Shixun's mansion. After observing for a while, Kou Zhong said: "If according to Chen Laomou's instruction, Xu Shixun's office should be in one of the east and west wings next to the main hall, and the pattern of Xingyang City should also be placed there." Xu Ziling said: "Once we investigate this matter, we will find out, let's go!" The three walked across the garden and dived towards the front yard. Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling had very rich experience at this time, advancing and retreating at a certain pace, stopping and walking at a distance, avoided the sight of the servants several times, and entered Xu Shixun's study room full of scrolls in a short while. According to the method taught by Chen Laomou, the two searched quickly, and the documents they had read were arranged exactly as they were, and they would never be found to have tampered with them afterwards. There are more than a thousand documents hidden in the archives, so this work is time-consuming and laborious. The entire Xu Mansion seemed deserted. I don't know if the masters in the mansion participated in the hunt for them. Using their eyesight, the two turned left and right in the darkness. It wasn't until the beginning of the shift that Kou Zhong gained something. The three of them gathered together, looking at the stack of scrolls that Kou Zhong spread out on the table. Su Su lit the oil lamp on the table, while Kou Zhong took off his coat and covered the lamp to prevent the light from leaking out. Xu Ziling flipped to the bottom third and exclaimed happily: "This is the one." It was a map of the underground ditch in Xingyang City, with fine drawing skills and written explanations. Kou Zhong pointed to a sewer in the south of the city and said, "This sewer is connected to the moat, and its width is five feet, enough for us to pass through." Xu Ziling pointed to the junction of the canal, city and river, and said, "There must be something like a fence installed at the mouth of the canal. We need tools like a saw to break through the fence." Kou Zhong smiled and said: "It's easy, just leave it to me, now I'll go to explore the way first, you guys hide here, wait for me to come back." The three of them studied for a while longer, and Susu said in shock, "I'm not leaving! Such a long waterway will suffocate me to death." Kou Zhong smiled and said: "With my Xiao Zhong here, how can my sister have problems? Last time it was Xiao Ling who sipped my sister's mouth, this time it's my turn!" Su Su glared at Kou Zhong fiercely, her pretty face turned red. Xu Ziling said solemnly: "How can Zhong Shao say such frivolous words to Sister Su? Our siblings are innocent. It was just a stopgap measure at that time!" Kou Zhong hurriedly apologized to Su Su, with a sweeping gaze, he said: "You'd better hide in that big cabinet, as long as I take away the contents, it will be enough for you to stay."Xiaoling can take this opportunity to heal his wounds, while Sister Su can sleep. " When Xu Ziling woke up, Susu was still sleeping soundly in his arms, breathing evenly.He hastened to wake up Susu and said in a low voice, "Someone is here!" Su Su was so frightened that she turned and fell into his arms, not daring to let out a breath. The sound of the door opening. Shen Luoyan's sweet voice sounded outside the cabinet, "Shixun! Where is the city map?" After a soft sound, followed by the sound of opening the picture scroll, Xu Shixun said: "We have searched the entire southern district, but we still haven't found these two boys, so we must expand the area and seal off the places we have searched, so as not to Slip them back." Xu Ziling groaned in his heart. With his strange true energy, it should not be difficult to hide it from the eyes and ears of the two. But Susu only has a little knowledge of boxing and kicking skills, and she is not obsessed with superior skills. Later, when Shen and Xu gather their composure, they will definitely find something different in the cabinet. Thinking of this, my heart moved, and I hurriedly poured the true energy into Susu's mouth slowly. Sure enough, Susu's external breath stopped immediately, and she turned from external breathing to internal breathing purely by internal breathing. After Shen Luoyan and Xu Shixun discussed how to search the whole city in a step-by-step manner, and decided how to divide and block it, Shen Luoyan suddenly let out a coquettish cry, and then a seductive kiss sounded outside. Shen Luoyan angrily said: "Don't do this, I'm not in the mood right now." Xu Shixun snorted coldly: "Not in the mood? When did you become in the mood? We have never been intimate before." Shen Luoyan said displeased: "I am not in the mood if I am not in the mood. Do you have to confess to Master Xu that you regret it? " Xu Shixun's words softened, and he said in an almost pleading tone: "Luoyan! You should know that I am infatuated with you. Don't let outsiders affect our feelings!" In the closet, Susu put her arms around Xu Ziling's waist and squeezed him lightly, indicating that the person who influenced the two should be Xu Ziling. Shen Luoyan's tone turned cold and said: "Don't talk nonsense, it's about outsiders and insiders, it's nothing to do with a third party. Your master Xu has always been very romantic, what does it matter if I have one more or less? You will be infatuated with me , I'm afraid I'm joking!" Xu Shixun became a little annoyed and said: "I didn't want to say it at first. You always know about my acting on every occasion, so why are you only now reckoning with me?" After a pause, he continued: "Since you met that kid Ba Fenghan, you were coaxed by his sweet words to swim your arms together all day, and after you came back, your whole person has changed. Even Mi Gong asked me about it, you Come teach me how to treat the secret bus well." This time it was Xu Ziling's turn to be in the cabinet, he was embarrassed and felt very uncomfortable.It turned out that Shen Luoyan had met Ba Fenghan, maybe even slept with him, otherwise Xu Shixun wouldn't be jealous. Su Su was very strange, because Shen Luoyan thought that Xu Ziling was dead and had a different expression, how could he suddenly kill Ba Fenghan and come out. Shen Luoyan said angrily: "I don't care about your affairs, and I don't need you to take care of mine." Xu Shixun softened again, and sighed: "Ba Fenghan is not only a foreigner, but he came to the Central Plains today to make it clear that he wanted to fight for wind and rain. He used the name of sword competition, and he has defeated more than ten famous experts from all over the world. There is no benefit for this person to have a relationship." Shen Luoyan was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "Now all I think about is how to get the roster back. If it falls into the hands of the government, the consequences will be disastrous. Let's go!" Xu Ziling and Su Su breathed a sigh of relief after the two left. Susu raised her pretty face, breathed like blue and said: "I'm afraid Xu Shixun made a mistake!" Xu Ziling smiled wryly and said: "Sister said that because she has never met Ba Fenghan. This man is not only superb in martial arts, but also has a very intimidating charm. Standing up casually can attract everyone's attention to him." Go to him. I am far behind him." Su Su said displeased: "I would never believe it. You and Xiao Zhong are still young, but in time, my sister will not believe that someone can overshadow your brilliance. You just don't know it yourself! In fact, every day you are together It's changing. Especially you all have unique temperaments, and my sister is heartbroken for you!" Although the two are in the most intimate state, they both have no other thoughts in their hearts, only the pure love of siblings. Xu Ziling said awkwardly: "Sister Su, don't laugh at me, can you sleep a little longer?" Su Su nodded meekly, and obediently fell into him like a little sheep, closed her beautiful eyes, and fell asleep. Holding a susu and charming body, Xu Ziling's thoughts are ups and downs. Suddenly, he had a feeling of not knowing where to go. The first thing he has to consider is not to take revenge on Zi Wenhua for Fu Junchuo, but how to arrange for the good sister in his arms. The problem is that they still don't know the relationship between Li Jing and Susu. Even if Li Jing is found, it may only make things worse. At this moment of chaos, he was worried about leaving Susu in any place. If you bring her by your side, because the two of you have become the target of public criticism, it will be very dangerous to her. Kou Zhong came back when his head was getting dizzy. At this time, the sky was already bright, Kou Zhong got into the big cabinet, and said dejectedly: "It's too bad this time, it turns out that when the sewer reaches the exit, it is divided into more than ten small channels that are so thin that even a dog can't get through. It's just a waste of effort and joy." Susu said: "Have you looked down there?" Kou Zhong nodded and said: "Of course I went to see it, I just stole another set of clothes to change into, alas!" Xu Ziling said: "No wonder you smell!" Kou Zhongdao: "I also stopped by to see the situation of the city defense. There are Wagang troops everywhere, and there are guard posts in the higher places of the city. Going out of the city is just a dream. Hey! Is Xiaoling better?" Xu Ziling said: "As long as there are three days, I should be able to fully recover." Then said: "I have a way." Kou Zhongqi said: "You have the ability, I'm really exhausted, tell me quickly and listen." Xu Ziling said: "It's still the booklet. To the Wagang Army, it's more important than the 'Duke Yang's Treasure'. Use it as a negotiation condition, do you think it's okay?" Kou Zhong pondered for a moment, nodded in agreement and said, "It's the only way out of nowhere, but it's better to wait until you fully recover before going out to trade with Mrs. Shen, so you can be sure." Xu Ziling said: "It's not about making a move, it doesn't matter if it's later or earlier. According to the news we overheard just now, Shen Luoyan will start searching this area this morning. If someone finds it before negotiating a deal, it won't be that valuable. " Kou Zhong said: "Okay! I'll go find Mrs. Shen!" Su Su tugged at him and said, "Xiao Zhong! My sister is very scared!" Kou Zhong kissed her on the cheek, and said with a grin: "Don't worry, sister! Whoever wants to deal with our Yangzhou Ssangyong will have to eat and walk around." This time it was Xu Ziling's turn to pull him, and he told Shen Luoyan and Xu Shixun the big hunt plan discussed just now. Kou Zhongxi said: "Thank God, they don't want to have anything to do with me this time," before leaving.
