Chapter 83 Chapter 1 Well-planned

The next day, the atmosphere in the city was still very tense. On the street, soldiers from the Iron Cavalry Association and Lin Shihong's Chu army rode back and forth on horseback. Fortunately, Niu Fangcai had a good relationship with the general guarding the city gate, so Yun Yuzhen, Xiang Yushan and others were able to leave the city and board the ship without any danger, which made Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling heave a sigh of relief. After Niu Fangcai came back, he took out a map of the situation of Jiujiang City and explained it to the two in detail, saying: "Jiujiang is in the center of north-south traffic, and travelers from south to north usually take a boat to land here by boat and go north. , the stone wharf in the north of the ancient city has a reputation of being a boat in the south and a horse in the north, and it is very prosperous."

Kou Zhongdao: "The fact that Lin Shihong and Ren Shaoming formed an alliance in Jiujiang today means to show their strength to the heroes of the north and south at the same time. Sigh! It is not an easy task to fight for the world." Niu Fangcai continued: "The south of Jiujiang is connected to Dongting, the north is connected with the great river, and the waterways run through it vertically and horizontally. The main part is the old city. In the old city, there are only one south and one north, which are located at the ends of Beimen Street and Nanmen Street, and the two streets are separated by the "Zhenjiang Building" of the courtyard office in the center of the city."

Xu Ziling said: "A wall as high as fifteen feet can only be climbed by using auxiliary tools such as hooks and cables." Kou Zhongdao: "Or you can consider slipping through the waterway." Niu Fangcai said: "There are double steel gates at the waterway entrances, which are very strong. In addition, there are special monitoring sentries and regular patrols at all waterway entrances. It is difficult to destroy them in advance." Xu Ziling asked, "Does Uncle Niu know when the city army patrols and when the guard posts change?" Niu Fangcai happily replied: "This is exactly our main job, and all of them are recorded. They have ten different schedules in total, and they change every five days, and they start again and again."

Kou Zhong's eyes lit up, and he said, "As long as we accurately grasp the shift and patrol time to carry out the assassination operation, we can break through the gate before the enemy finds out, but of course we need special tools." Niu Fangcai frowned and said, "But that will definitely alarm the guards at the outpost." Kou Zhong said: "Then let's kill them easily." Niu Fangcai smiled wryly and said: "The outpost is on the city wall. If you can get there, you might as well climb over the wall and escape. But the distance between the city wall and the nearest house is at least twenty feet. If the two young masters show up in this area , I will immediately find out that as long as they shoot arrows at the two of them condescendingly, it will be extremely difficult to deal with."

Xu Ziling said: "That's not a problem. We don't need to take a breath at the bottom of the water for a long time, so we can simply dive through the channel and break through the gate at the bottom to get out." Niu Fang agreed: "If the two of you really have this kind of diving ability, it is indeed a feasible plan, because the enemy would never think that you can hide in the water for a long time." Xuan sighed again: "But the biggest problem is that it is impossible to get close to the Spring Garden where Ren Shaoming lives without being noticed. Of course, this assumes that Ren Shaoming will go there to find Huo Qili tonight!"

Kou Zhong said in a deep voice: "We will start when he is on his way to the spring building." Niu Fangcai shook his head and said: "Ren Shaoming is cruel and easy to kill, and has many enemies, so he never takes the same route to a certain place. This method is absolutely difficult to implement." Kou Zhong had a flash of inspiration and said: “Aren’t there some old banyan trees outside the building in Chun? But it's not that easy to escape." Xu Ziling said lightly: "It's hard to have the best of both worlds!" Kou Zhong took out the picture scroll of Chun Zailou, spread it out on the table, first pointed to a big tree in the southwest of the spring garden, and then moved his finger to another tree that should be about five feet away from the north.Excitedly said: "If we can tie an elastic rope to the top of these two trees, and use it to bounce when we escape, oh! My God, if we can lay a few more ropes like this With a high-altitude cable, isn’t it possible to come and go like flying? The only thing to worry about is that the enemy will be aware of it first.”

Niu just moved and said: "This is indeed a fantastic but practical method. I can figure out a way for the rope, as long as the two ends are tied with iron wrapped in cloth, dyed black, and kept away from the ground, I hope no one will use it. It can be found. The remaining question is how to conceal the enemy's eyes and ears to make these arrangements, and can the two young masters accurately identify the foothold?" Kou Zhongdao: "Let us worry about these two issues." Huo Di stood up, laughed and said: "Let's check the venue first, unless Ren Shaoming doesn't go to Chunzailou tonight, if he does, he will die and leave."

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling sat down at a table near the window on the second floor of the restaurant, looking out the window at the same time. The first thing you see is the spacious street that can accommodate five horse-drawn carriages at the same time, and then there is a row of shops facing the main entrance of the restaurant, occupying five shops. It can be seen that because Jiujiang has always been rich and wealthy, it has a tendency to rely on things at every turn. Others include food stores, oil workshops, cloth stores, grocery stores and so on. Every seven or eight feet along the road, there are big trees planted to cover the road and form a shade.

Looking south, you can just see the high wall in the northeast corner of Chunzai Building's backyard. Behind the wall, there are patches of green tile roofs among the trees, which are generous in shape and quite imposing. The verdant elms, locust trees, and old banyan trees in the courtyard, with their lush leaves whirling in the breeze, seemed unaware that a life-and-death struggle involving the situation of the world was about to take place tonight. Kou Zhong took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "We first install the No. 1 borrowing rope on the big tree on this side of the street, and then install the No. 2 rope that allows us to jump into the courtyard when we reach the top of the tree on the other side of the street. It only takes a few ups and downs to reach the Spring Garden, and when you leave, just follow the original path."

At this time, the waiter brought some pasta, Kou Zhong hurriedly spoke other words. After the buddy left, Xu Ziling ate noodles and said, "It's better for us to ambush outside the Spring Garden before Ren Shaoming arrives, so we don't have to go into the house to do it, and it's easier to escape." Kou Zhong nodded in agreement, lowered his head and concentrated on using it, until he drank the soup, suddenly said in a deep voice: "If Ren Shaoming can't be killed, we will die, and we won't leave if we don't succeed, understand?" Xu Ziling smiled and said: "I fully understand. If we don't make a death will, we will never succeed."

Kou Zhong sighed and said, "This is actually just my business, and you should not be involved." Xu Ziling smiled wryly and said, "Why did your mother get up all of a sudden? And there is always a price to pay for success. Challenges naturally come with pressure. Have you ever tried to be so contradictory before?" Kou Zhong let out a long breath, leaned forward a little, and said: "This will be the most important turning point in the lives of my two brothers. If it succeeds, the situation in the whole south will be reversed immediately, and the world will be famous at the same time. Sigh! But But I know that you have no interest in these at all, and you are willing to risk your life just to help me, do you think I can not contradict?" He slumped against the back of the chair again, and said softly: "As long as you say a word, tonight's action will be forgotten." Xu Ziling said indifferently: "Everything will go according to plan! By tomorrow, one is that Ren Shaoming died near the Spring Garden, and the other is that the Ssangyong Gang is finished. And the third possibility can only be that Ren Shaoming did not show up at all." The two left the restaurant and walked along the street toward Chunzai building, not feeling anything unusual. Kou Zhong replied Jing Song as usual, smiled next to Xu Ziling: "I'm not wrong! That evil princess is very interesting to you!" Xu Ziling shrugged coquettishly and said, "Did you forget that she invited Feng Shihan to come here for a private meeting? She meant to kill me, so she meant not to." Kou Zhong laughed and said: "A woman's heart is the most elusive. Maybe she is close to Boy Ba and just wants to use him to forget you, but when she sees you, all the wetness and coldness are forgotten." Xu Ziling smiled wryly and said: "You know how to be self-indulgent for others. Huh! It seems that someone is following us?" Kou Zhong also felt it, and said in a low voice: "Did you say that the boy in the green clothes hangs us outside the door of the restaurant all the time. Hey! Turn left!" The two turned left and entered a side street, which was a first-class road, only for pedestrians, with high walls, deep courtyards, and deep alleyways, quite different from the bustling streets, with a peaceful environment. Kou Zhong said: "I didn't follow!" Xu Ziling winked, and the two jumped left and right, respectively submerging into the walls of the courtyards on both sides. Not long after, the man in Tsing Yi flew over, and when the wind rang from left and right, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling's way of advancing and retreating was sealed off. Kou Zhong behind laughed and said, "This brother." The man turned around abruptly, and whispered: "Finally found you two boys who don't know how to write the word 'death'." It turned out to be Song Yuzhi, the great beauty of the Song family disguised as a man. The ginseng stepped out of the alley and came to an arch bridge erected on the river, and saw the river meandering towards Chun Zailou. There are row upon row of high and low scattered residential houses on both sides of the river. The riverside is built of stone banks, and the steps in front of the door enter the water. The scenery is very unique. However, Song Yuzhi, who put on two beards to add masculinity, had a frosty face, stopped on the bridge, and said in a deep voice, "What are you still doing here? The whole city knows that you are here because of the unprovoked disturbance." Assassinating Ren Shaoming ruined all our plans." Kou Zhong smiled and said, "I wonder if our agreement is still valid? Has Miss Song discussed it with your father?" Song Yuzhi turned around, and said angrily, "What's the use of discussing it? Under the current situation, no one has a chance." Xu Ziling moved to the railing of the bridge, lowered his head to stare at the river, and just silently listened to the conversation between the two behind him. Kou Zhonghao took his time and said: "As long as the agreement is still valid. Miss, please leave the city immediately. There will be good news tomorrow morning." Song Yuzhi said angrily: "You must be crazy, if you want to die, you might as well throw yourself into the river!" Kou Zhong approached her pretty face with a smile, salivating at that "vulgar" fake face and said: "Don't add another bet, if I can still succeed in such a difficult situation, Miss will commit herself to marry I, Kou Zhong, how are you?" Song Yuzhi gave him a hard look and said, "Your fake belly touched me!" Kou Zhong deliberately squeezed her with his fake belly, then moved away a little, and said with a playful smile: "Miss hasn't answered this question about your life yet!" Song Yuzhi said distressedly: "Why do you always love to be so entangled? Didn't people tell you that your father has promised me to someone else? Besides, I am annoyed and angry when I see you. No one will look at you." I love you, and I don’t go home and look in the mirror.” Turning his head to Xu Ziling’s back, he said, “Xu Ziling! Do you want to go crazy with him too?” Xu Ziling said flatly: "Tonight is the anniversary of Ren Shaoming's death. Miss Song, please leave the city immediately." When Song Yuzhi was stunned by Xu Ziling's reaction, Kou Zhong put on a bitter face and said, "It turns out that Ms. Song has empathized with Xiaoling, so I, Kou Zhong, have no choice but to announce my withdrawal from this competition, and only want to get rid of Ren Shaoming. Oh. !" "Snapped!" With a crisp sound, Kou Zhong's face was immediately covered with five finger marks from Song Yuzhi's slender hand, and she even scraped off a lot of oil and powder. Song Yuzhi was surprised and said, "Why didn't you dodge?" Kou Zhong stroked the sore spot and smiled wryly: "I want to see if I can wake you up, then I won't have to suffer from single-sickness from now on." Song Yuzhi hesitated to speak, but finally said nothing, turned his pretty face to look at Xu Ziling. Xu Ziling stood still, staring thoughtfully at a man fishing at the corner of the river. Kou Zhong saw several people walking towards the small bridge they were on, tugged on Song Yuzhi's sleeve and said, "Let's talk about it when we go home!" Xu Ziling trembled suddenly and said, "My mother! Young Master Zhong! Fishing silk!" Kou Zhong immediately forgot about Song Yuzhi, moved to Xu Ziling, and said happily: "We are so stupid! Is there any rope in this world that is more elastic than this mother's fishing line and can avoid people's eyes and ears? Mrs. Thin Fishing Line plotted against us, still in broad daylight." At this time, some passers-by passed by, but all the ginseng remained silent. After passers-by, Song Yuzhi asked in a daze, "What are you talking about? Are you really crazy?" At this moment Kou Zhong still has the mood to entangle with her, because if the fishing line is used, no matter it is day or night, at a height of nearly ten feet above the ground, it is absolutely difficult for ordinary experts to detect it if they do not carelessly search.Then they can do some tricks as early as possible, so they said with a smile: "Miss Song, please drive to the outside of the city, and tomorrow we may get a good news!" Song Yuzhi couldn't bear it anymore and said: "No! You two will follow me out of the city immediately." Kou Zhong said in astonishment: "It turns out Miss Song cares about us so much." Song Yuzhi suddenly returned to his usual cold demeanor, and said softly: "Of course I care! If the 'Yanggong Treasure' falls into the hands of Ren Shaoming and Lin Shihong, the whole world will suffer." Kou Zhong smiled wryly and said: "It turns out that you are so kind to me. Forget it! Now each of us will go our own way, but don't forget the agreement, otherwise our Song family and I will be ruined." Song Yuzhi looked at him coldly and said, "Are you really going to die?" Kou Zhonghu's eyes flashed brightly, and he said decisively: "That's right." Song Yuzhi said lightly: "Then you all go to die!"
