Chapter 77 Chapter Eight

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, one after the other, fled desperately through the mountains. At this time, they were almost exhausted, but due to the strong enemy closely following them, they could only flee to the steep mountain. Since Ba Fenghan and Fu Junyu were adorned by the Yangtze River three days ago, they rushed eastward for hundreds of miles from Jiangyin, passing through the two counties of Yixing and Yongshi on the way. Not to lose Ba Fenghan and Fu Junyu.Only now did I know that there must be one of them who is a master of tracking, and I couldn't help complaining. That night, Ba Fenghan and Fenghan chased each other closer and closer. At one time, they were only a few hundred feet away. Fortunately, they encountered a torrent passing through deep mountains and poor valleys. With the torrential rain, the two rushed down the current for more than ten miles. It only prolongs the moment when the disaster is imminent.When the two climbed up from the river, they were not only exhausted, but also their clothes were torn, their bodies were covered with scars, and they were in a state of embarrassment due to the collision with river rocks on the way.Kou Zhong even lost Jing Zhongyue.Under the heavy rain, the two climbed up a cliff, but finally couldn't hold on, and fell to the ground.

Kou Zhong panted, "It's time to get rid of the rheumatism and cold, right? It's raining so hard, all traces of smell should be washed away!" Xu Ziling raised his face to let the rainwater sharp arrows hit his face, and sighed: "I think so, this kid seems to want to compete with us, whoever falls first will lose." Kou Zhong said hard: "If we can escape this trip, our lightness kung fu will definitely improve a lot. Alas! We were so proud when we set off that day, how could we add a rheumatic cold to this evil aunt who doesn't distinguish between good and evil?" , and made it look like our lost dog."

Xu Ziling fell on the ground with his handsome face pressed against the mud on the edge of the cliff, and moaned: "Heaven will send a great task to the people of Sri Lanka, and they must first toil their muscles and bones, suffer their will, and empty their bodies. In my opinion, this trip should have been done." If you leave the dangerous situation, it will be regarded as three days of training!" Kou Zhong looked down and saw a waterfall rushing down from the cliff on the upper left. The small lake where it fell was surrounded by a dense forest, and it stretched away between the mountain gorge until it was unknown how deep and far.

He poked his head out a little, and the cliff below was about ten feet away from him. In particular, an old pine protruded horizontally, with luxuriant branches and leaves, which was very spectacular. Kou Zhong was moved in his heart and said: "Xiaoling, come and see, a big tree has miraculously grown below it, there must be a hidden cave, why don't we go down to see what's going on, maybe there is a place like a cave where we can hide , so that Aunt Evil and Rheumatic Cold can't find us even if they are limping and walking." Xu Ziling tried his best to prop up his body and climbed to the edge of the cliff. Before he had a chance to look down, he was shocked and said, "That's bad!"

Kou Zhong was taken aback, followed his gaze to look across the deep valley to a small hill about fifty feet lower than their precipice, but didn't notice anything unusual, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" At this time, the rain became more violent, and it was raining at night in the deep mountains. Not only was it difficult to see far away, but even the voice had to be heard in order to hear it. Xu Ziling leaned close to his ear and whispered: "They are chasing after me. A gust of wind blew up just now, and the sound of a broken tree branch was sent to my ears. God! How could they do it?"

Kou Zhong also felt chills for a while, in this environment, how could the enemy still hang behind them inseparably?Shen Sheng said: "Do you still have strength?" Xu Ziling shook his head and smiled wryly, then asked, "What about you?" Kou Zhong sighed: "Our two brothers are of the same kind. Of course I can't if you can't. But according to my opinion, Aunt Eke and Feng Shihan should not be much better than us, otherwise they wouldn't break the branches. Now the only way to survive is There is a cave below, how about it? Do you want to try it?" Xu Ziling said: "According to the experience of the past few days, no matter where they hide, they will eventually find a way to find them. But tonight, apparently even their hearing was disrupted by the heavy rain, so we were able to lie here for an unprecedented time. Half an hour. If we can take advantage of this favorable situation, we might be able to escape."

Kou Zhong thought of the small lake formed among the trees under the waterfall, and said in his heart: "Now even Ning Daoqi and Fu Cailin are blind, assuming we...ha...have a solution." The two each held a big rock wrapped in worn-out robes, and stood side by side on the edge of the cliff. At this time, there was a sound of breaking wind from the rear, from far to near.Kou Zhong blinked at Xu Ziling, suddenly both of them shouted at the same time, they threw down two big rocks before jumping off. When the two of them landed safely on the old pine below, the rocks were still falling sharply, and the sound of the robes fluttering was constantly weakening, it was really no different from them jumping down.

The two of them couldn't breathe, they leaned on the old pine and dared not move. "Dong Dong" sounded twice, faintly coming from a hundred feet below. Fu Junyu's voice sounded from above: "Good boy! They escaped again." Ba Fenghan sighed: "The stamina of these two goddamn boys is indeed astonishing, and even more courageous, will Jun Yu still chase after them?" Fu Junyu said fiercely: "I will chase after you to the bottom of the sky." Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling below looked at each other, unable to understand why Fu Junyu gritted his teeth and hated them so much.

Ba Fenghan suddenly said: "The rain is getting heavier and heavier." After a while of silence above, Ba Fenghan said softly: "Can I accompany Jun Yu to settle accounts with those two boys after I have settled some matters?" Fu Junyu said coldly: "Who wants you to accompany me? Go and meet your girl from Dongming School!" Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were stunned. Could it be that the girl of the Dongmo faction is not Princess Shan Wanjing of Dongming? Could it be that she was hooked up by Feng Shihan so soon? Ba Fenghan smiled bitterly: "Jun Yu, didn't we agree to be bosom friends? Why do you sound like a jealous lover now?"

Fu Junyu said in a deep voice: "Do you really think I'm a good friend? This time you Ba Fenghan volunteered to deal with those two boys. After all, it was just to please that girl. Could it be because of my good friend?" Ba Fenghan laughed and said: "Jun Yu likes to think like this, and I can't help it. A man must be able to let go of his life and not be influenced by anyone, so that he can be happy. No matter how Jun Yu looks at me, Jun Yu will always be happy. She is the first confidante I made after entering Middle-earth." Fu Junyu said lightly: "You can say whatever you like! I, Fu Junyu, knew what kind of person you are from the beginning. After killing those two boys, I will return to Korea immediately and never come back again."

When the wind rang, Fu Junyu obviously let go of Ba Fenghan with anger. Kou Zhong leaned into Xu Ziling's ear and said, "This kid is alone, should he take the opportunity to make a surprise attack?" Xu Ziling responded, "Do you still have the strength?" Kou Zhong shook his head dejectedly. Ba Fenghan above sighed for a long time, then said to himself with a sneer: "Fu Junyu, what are you, why do you come to influence or understand me?" Leave immediately after speaking. Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling below felt chills in their hearts. The two didn't find the cave below, so they had to climb back to the cliff, and left the mountain area cautiously when the rain finally dried up. They ran to the northeast, climbed over a green mountain, picked fruit to satisfy their hunger in a small forest with lush trees, rested for a night, and continued their journey until they were exhausted. After these three days of fleeing, both of them felt that they would survive the catastrophe and see the light of day again. Two days later they came across a village and went into the village to ask for directions, only to find out that Baling was about fifty miles to the southeast. They were overjoyed and bought two sets of coarse clothes from the villagers. Knowing that sooner or later they would meet such formidable opponents as Ba Fenghan or Fu Junyu again, they devoted themselves to martial arts more than ever before, delving into the newly acquired way of swordplay. During a break on the way, Kou Zhong said: "Do you still remember Bi Xuan's male and female disciples? It seems that they can't do anything about rheumatism and cold." Xu Ziling smiled bitterly and said, "Are you talking about Tuoba Fang and his handsome teacher? Of course I remember that there is an appointment in Luoyang, but it seems that we are all about to break the appointment." Kou Zhongdao: "This is called being forced by the situation, no one can do anything about it. Alas! If Aunt Evil and Feng Shihan do this, the agreement between Song Yuzhi and I may fall through." Xu Ziling asked in astonishment, "What agreement?" Kou Zhong said dejectedly: "The Song family praised Liang as the leader of the Bamboo Flower Gang, and I killed Ren Shaoming of the Iron Cavalry Club for the Song family." Xu Ziling said in amazement: "You don't seem to know who Ren Shaoming is. If he was a fuel-efficient lamp, he would have been slaughtered by the Song family, why bother you, Young Master Zhong?" Kou Zhong cheered up and said: "Remember I said that the goal must be ambitious? If we can plan to assassinate Ren Shaoming, the iron cavalry will be hit the hardest, and Lin Shihong will also wait if he loses an arm. , the Bamboo Flower Gang and the Song Clan are growing rapidly, it will be much more interesting than now." Then he said listlessly: "But now that we have lost contact with Song Yuzhi, what else can we do?" Xu Ziling said: "I am not opposed to the assassination of Ren Shaoming. This man has always been notorious, and he deserves his death." Kou Zhong's eyes lit up, and he said enthusiastically, "Young Master Ling agrees, things are very different, come on! Let's go to Baling and find Sister Su before we talk about it!" At dusk, Baling finally appeared ahead. The two cut into the main road and came to the gate of the city in a short while. They saw a flag with the word "Liang" hanging high above the city. When it was their turn, Kou Zhong bit the bullet and said, "We are visiting friends." The soldier guarding the city gate rolled his eyes upwards and said: "The situation is tense now, and all idlers are prohibited from entering or leaving. Get out of here." Kou Zhong smiled and said: "The friend we are looking for is a member of the Baling Gang, Lord Bing, can you make it easier for me?" Then she moved her mouth to his ear and said, "Ten taels of silver is enough!" The soldier looked at the two men coldly, and seeing that they were dressed as peasants, he suddenly shouted, "Come here! Take these two spies down for me." More than a dozen guards rushed over and surrounded the two of them. Kou Zhong waved his hand and said: "We are looking for Xiangyu Mountain, if you don't believe me, you can ask him and you will find out." Bingmu said in astonishment, "You guys are friends of General Xiang?" This time it was the turn of the two to face each other in astonishment, how could Xiang boy suddenly become a general. Xu Ziling hurriedly said: "That's true, please tell me that it is Sister Su's brother who is looking for him!" He dared not announce his name.Afraid of getting into unnecessary trouble.Bing stared blankly, and said: "It turned out to be a relative of Mrs. Susu. If someone comes, I will report it to General Xiang immediately." The two lost their voices: "Madame Susu!" Bingmu wondered: "Don't you know that Lingjie married General Xiang?" The scalps of the two were numb, and they could not speak a word. Xiang Yushan, dressed in military attire, dismounted from his horse and came to the two of them. He said with great joy, "Thank God, I'm finally looking forward to the arrival of the two elder brothers." Seeing that Xiangyushan respected these two relatives dressed as country boy so much, and called him "big brother", all the soldiers were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths. Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked at each other with wry smiles, they didn't know what attitude to use to "deal with" this brother-in-law. But "family ugliness should not be spread outside", Kou Zhong walked into the city with Xiangyushan's shoulders on his shoulders, and said coldly: "How could Sister Su marry you, it's not that you kid used some shady means!" Xu Ziling walked on the other side of Xiangyu Mountain without saying a word, ready to hold him hostage. Xiangyushan hurriedly said: "How can I, Xiangyushan, be this kind of person? It may be that my sister found out that I was infatuated with her, so she was willing to commit herself to marrying. Alas! You don't know that Madam is worried about crying every time she thinks of you, It's good that you come!" Kou Zhong stretched out his arm from his sleeve, and said with a wry smile: "See? Once you say you are infatuated, all the hairs on my face stand on end." Xiangyushan was very embarrassed, and smiled apologetically, "If I, Xiangyushan, lie, I will be struck by lightning." Kou Zhong stared at him fiercely and said: "If you dare to be unlucky to Sister Su, even if you become the emperor, I will kill you, understand?" Xiang Yushan said incessantly: "How could it be? Don't worry, two big brothers!" The three of them walked quickly along the street, chasing behind Xiangyu Mountain's more than a dozen guards with horses, causing everyone on the road to look sideways. Xu Ziling frowned and said, "Why did you become a general?" Xiang Yushan was surprised and said: "Didn't you hear the news? After the Hunjun was killed, Xiao Erdao took Baling as his capital and proclaimed himself emperor, and his country name was Daliang." Then he said in a low voice: "The Second Master is originally a descendant of Xiao Yan, Emperor Wu of Liang in the Southern Dynasty, and now he just restores the old title!" Kou Zhong nodded and said: "He thinks highly of you, no wonder you look radiant." Xiang Yushan said embarrassingly: "It's thanks to the two big brothers, and with the little brother's own efforts, he has fully recovered now!" Kou Zhong let go of his arms around his shoulders, and said, "You are a little bit self-aware and know how to call yourself a younger brother. Don't think that we will call you brother-in-law. Right? Ling Shao?" Xu Ziling spread his hands and smiled wryly, "What can I say?" Kou Zhongfa pushed Xiang Yushan hard, and shouted: "Come on! Let me see General Xiang's lightness kung fu after recovery. If I walk like a snail, I still won't see Sister Su at dawn." Xiangyu Mountain staggered two steps, then swept up obliquely, and landed on the roof of a private house, the two hurriedly chased after it.
