Chapter 86 Chapter 4: Ground Knife Song Zhi

Kou Zhong looked at the sails coming from upstream, stopped Xu Ziling and said, "Do you think this boat looks like the boat with the flag of the Song Clan last night, but now the flag has been removed." Xu Ziling said indifferently: "It's not easy to know." Suddenly he jumped onto a big rock on the shore, and his luck shouted: "Excuse me, is Miss Song on the boat?" The sound spread far away towards the approaching sails. Kou Zhong raised his head in astonishment, looked at Xu Ziling perched high on the rock in disbelief, and said in bewilderment, "Aren't you very opposed to my approaching Song Yuzhi? Why are you uncharacteristically active today to such a frightening level?"

Xu Ziling showed a sincere and touching smile, and said spontaneously: "You have already recognized the boat from last night, and you still have to pretend, so no matter what I say, you will always have a way to do what I am doing now. So the younger brother simply I wish you well. Enough with you, brother!" Kou Zhong laughed and said, "You're really funny. You're playing me like this, ha! I'm dying of laughter!" The two landed on the deck one after another, Song Yuzhi looked at them coldly, Tankou slightly opened his mouth and said: "Turn around and head back!"

Song Shuang who was standing behind her hurriedly issued an order. The sailors on the sail immediately got busy. Kou Zhong bowed his body and saluted, "Miss Song is running back and forth on the river, is it because of my two brothers?" Song Yuzhi stared at him coldly for a while, then suddenly shook his head and sighed, "How could you do it?" Xu Ziling said lightly: "Miss is really well informed." Song Yuzhi said angrily: "Unless you are deaf and blind, you will not know that the death of Ren Shaoming has caused chaos in Jiujiang, and no one can control it. The iron cavalry will be venting its anger on the martial arts figures in the city. I heard a lot of people, and I heard that the Chu army is also fighting with the cavalry association."

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked at each other in dismay when they heard this, and wondered to themselves if it hurt a lot of people. Song Yuzhi saw that the boat had successfully turned around and went upstream, and said softly, "You two young masters, would you please come in and order wine and food?" When the two entered the small cabin, which was so narrow that only a round table and a dozen chairs could be accommodated, they were immediately stunned. Facing the cabin door, there were seven or eight people crowded together, only one of them was sitting in a stable position, obviously the most dignified.

This man was about forty years old, with a slender figure, white skin like snow, a pair of gloomy but intelligent eyes on a thin and narrow face, a sentimental mouth and five long beards. The handsome man dressed as a literati is like the reincarnation of Zhuge Wuhou. Seeing the two people coming in, he stood up and said with a smile: "My lord, Song Zhi, welcome to the two young masters, please sit down!" It turned out to be Song Zhi, the number two figure of the Song Clan, "Earth Sword"!Kou Zhong came back to his senses, Shi Li said with a smile: "It turns out that Second Master Song is here."

Song Zhixin said happily, "Sit down and we'll talk." After Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling sat down, Song Zhi took his seat. The other Song Clan masters stood behind Song Zhi's chair, only Song Yuzhi and Song Shuang stood beside them. Xu Ziling said awkwardly, "Why don't Ms. Song sit down?" Song Zhi said with a calm smile: "An old man is sitting down on their behalf! The two young masters can use clever tricks, fight wits and strength, and kill Ren Shaoming under the heavy siege of the Iron Cavalry Association. Pass it on to the world. However, the more famous you are, the more troubles you will have. I don't know what the two young masters plan for the future?"

Seeing Song Zhi as if he had witnessed the situation at that time, the two felt awe-inspiring, knowing that he must have the eyeliner in the cavalry club. Song Zhi said again: "I don't know if the two of you already knew about one thing. The name of Young Master Ren is actually the son of Tie Le "The Bandit" Qu Ao. , but cruelty is easy to kill, but Bi Xuan will be surprised." Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were astonished. They got the name of Qu Ao by eavesdropping on the conversation between Song Yuzhi and Shen Luoyan that day.Song Yuzhi also emphasized to Shen Luoyan that Qu Ao and Du Fuwei secretly colluded to deal with Li Mi.Unexpectedly, he and Ren Shaoming are father and son.

But they are not afraid at all. Kou Zhong shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's definitely a plan, but Second Master Song may not listen to it, because my brother only intends to ship a batch of salt to the salt-deficient areas in Guanzhong, and earn a lot of money from his mother." Hearing Kou Zhong swearing again, Song Yuzhi frowned on the surface, but there was a kind and indescribable excitement in Fang's heart. Song Zhi was silent for a while, then suddenly raised his head and laughed for a long time, looked at the sunny river bank outside the window, smiled and remained silent for a while, then his eyes fell on the two of them again, and he said with a dumb smile: "Would the two young masters not treat me like this?" Is Song Zhi a friend now?"

Song Yuzhi behind Kou Zhong said with a bit of disdain: "I said earlier that this person is not telling the truth!" Song Zhi glanced at his niece curiously, and then said with a straight face: "If the two sons only want this, they will neither assassinate Ren Shaoming, but also use it as a condition for Gui Xiliang to become the leader of the gang. Old man Was it wrong?" Kou Zhongruo said nonchalantly: "Second Master Song could not have read it wrong, but what I said is also the truth." Xu Ziling said: "This trip to transport salt to Guanzhong is really a wish of my two brothers, so that we can hone ourselves."

Song Zhi showed an inscrutable smile, and asked softly, "Is the 'Treasure of Duke Yang' in Guanzhong?" The two of them were even more trembling in their hearts. This Song Zhi was worthy of the Song Clan's brain trust, and he guessed 70% to 80% of the facts. Kou Zhong sighed, "Second Master is really amazing!" Song Zhi said calmly, "Why not simply make it bigger?" Kou Zhong was puzzled, "How can we make it bigger?" Song Zhi smiled and said, "No matter how much salt you two want, we can supply it." After exchanging glances with Xu Ziling, Kou Zhong shook his head and said, "My two brothers are most afraid of being restrained."

Song Zhi cut him off and said, "The two of you are not afraid of being controlled by others, but you don't want to be subdued. If I, Song Zhi, couldn't understand this point, I wouldn't say such things today." Song Yuzhi continued: "Second Uncle! Yuzhi said earlier that they don't know the heights of the sky and the earth!" Song Zhi said with a smile: "Yuzhi don't want to say angry words, whoever can kill Ren Shaoming is qualified to speak like Brother Kou and Brother Xu." Gazing at Kou Zhong again, he smiled and said, "Now the situation in the south has been reversed due to the death of Ren Shaoming. Looking around the crowd, only Lin Shihong and Xiao Xian can still compete with my Song family. Why don't you talk about the possibility of cooperation with each other?" Both Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling had a strange feeling, feeling the glory after killing Ren Shaoming.Otherwise, why should he sit on an equal footing with the second-ranked figure in the Song Dynasty, let alone talk about cooperation. Kou Zhong pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "Only under one circumstance can we really work together, that is, the nobleman can betroth Miss Yuzhi to me, Kou Zhong." The other Song Clan masters who had been silent all this time were all stunned, and Song Yuzhi let out an even more "Ah" coquettishly. Only Song Zhi was as calm as before, after staring at Kou Zhong for a while, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Brother Kou has a lot of ambitions, and he is even more ambitious." Xu Ziling was as calm as a wave, making it impossible to see what was going on in his heart. Kou Zhong, however, had no shame on his face, and said without hesitation, "The dowry is the 'Duke Yang's treasure house'." Song Yuzhi almost wanted to crush Kou Zhong to death on the spot, and screamed: "No! I won't marry him!" Song Shuang loved Song Yuzhi the most, and couldn't help interjecting, "Yuzhi has already made a marriage arrangement!" Song Zhi raised his hand to stop the two from talking, looked at Kou Zhong, then at the unpredictable Xu Ziling, nodded and said: "Brother Kou is indeed a talent who competes for the world, if I, the Song Clan, miss it in person, my brother will definitely blame me." Song Yu said in shock, "Second Uncle!" Song Zhi smiled at her and said, "'Yang Gong's Treasure' is still out of reach. What's more, this matter must be approved by your father. Why should Yuzhi be alarmed?" Kou Zhong said happily: "Miss Song is at ease. As long as you say 'no' in person in the future, how can I, Kou Zhong, be so cheeky?" The others all nodded in approval, appreciating Kou Zhong's kindness and demeanor. Only Song Yuzhi pursed her lips tightly, but she didn't object again. Song Zhi smiled and said: "The matter is roughly decided like this, do the two little brothers need our assistance?" Kou Zhong shook his head and refused, and said in a low voice: "Second Master may consider forming an alliance with Xiao Xian, then Lin Shihong will be under the enemy's back and forth, and it will be difficult for him to do anything." People from the Song clan were all moved. Song Zhi's eyes flashed brightly, and he said after a while: "We have always been close to the Baling Gang, but we don't have any friendship, so..." Kou Zhong laughed and said, "We can be the two of you to thread the needle. Now we will go back to Baling. No matter what Master Xiao wants, we can teach the second master to know." Song Zhi chuckled and said, "Talking with the two young brothers, talking quickly, is really enjoyable. Why don't you go back with Yuzhi and see what Master Xiao means." Song Yuzhi protested, "Second Uncle!" Song Zhi smiled and said: "This matter is very important, Yu Zhi is the most suitable candidate, and it can show the sincerity of my Song family." Song Yuzhi glared at Kou Zhong fiercely, sighed helplessly, and said, "Yuzhi takes command!" After the three of them landed, they rushed towards the berthing place agreed with Xiangyushan and others. Song Yuzhi deliberately fell behind, not walking with the two of them.Half an hour later, the two giant kun gang boats appeared at the bottom of the hillside, and Kou Zhong stopped suddenly, so tired that Song Yuzhi almost bumped into his broad back. Xu Ziling did not stop and swept down. Song Yuzhi frowned behind him and said, "Why do you want to stop?" Kou Zhong stared down, and said in a deep voice: "Did you see the red and white flags hanging on the mast? It means that there are enemies on board, but the people on board are still safe." Song Yuzhi looked at the masts rising from the forest bank below and the red and white flags fluttering, and his face changed: "Then why did you let Xu Ziling take the risk alone?" Kou Zhong smiled and said: "First of all, Xiaoling has the ability to deal with any danger alone, and secondly, our people can still move freely, which shows that things are not very dangerous." Song Yuzhi said displeased: "But isn't it a waste of time for us to stand here?" Kou Zhong turned his head away and said with a smile: "As long as Miss Song is with me, there will be no problem with Lang Bao's time." Song Yuzhi blushed slightly, and said fiercely: "Kou Zhong, remember, even if father and second uncle agree, I, Song Yuzhi, will never marry you. You are not half sincere at all." Kou Zhong said indifferently: "Assuming I am sincere, will Miss change her mind?" Song Yuzhi pretended not to look at him, and said casually: "If you are sincere, the sun will rise from the west!" At this moment Kou Zhong heard three continuous birdsong from Xu Ziling, and said, "Come on! Miss Song is destined to be with Kou." Without waiting for her to retaliate, she swept down. On the deck of the warship, on one side are Xiang Yushan, Yun Yuzhen, Bu Tianzhi, Chen Laomou and others, and on the other side are Ba Fenghan, the most outstanding master of the young Turkic generation, and Shan Wan, the new master of Dongming Sect. crystal. Judging by the expressions on both sides, it is obvious that they have not yet made a move. Although Ba Dan's martial arts were better than those of Xiangyushan and others, but Xiangyushan has a lot of people, and it is not easy to fight. Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling led Song Yuzhi to the deck and joined Xiangyushan's camp, Ba Fenghan and Shan Wanjing formed the weaker side, but they did not show any signs of uneasiness. Ba Fenghan's eyes lit up when he saw Song Yuzhi's unique charm, and he said with a smile, "This girl is..." Shan Wanjing interjected: "It turned out to be Miss Song Yuzhi, why did she come back with these two little thieves?" Song Yuzhi and Shan Wanjing obviously knew each other, and said indifferently: "Princess, if you want to fight with these two little ones. Hey! Boys, don't count Yuzhi among them. My Song family will not take care of your business." Xiang Yushan, Yun Yuzhen and others were very puzzled, and they couldn't figure out the relationship between Song Yuzhi and them. Yunyu really didn't know if she was jealous or not, so she purposely moved to Kou Zhong's side, and whispered in his ear affectionately: "You guys actually killed Ren Shaoming, it's unbelievable! This pair of dogs are half older than you The hour has come, and I insist on waiting for you." Kou Zhong nodded, and laughed at Ba Fenghan: "How is Brother Ba's martial arts less famous than Ren?" Ba Fenghan smiled faintly: "If you haven't done it before, how do you know who is high or who is low. This time I am here to wait for the two masters, just to find out who is higher and who is lower." Only now did Song Yuzhi know that he was Ba Fenghan, so he couldn't help sizing him up carefully.I just feel that regardless of his appearance and demeanor, he is not inferior to Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, and his sharpness is not only not annoying, but also adds a very attractive charm. Xu Ziling frowned and said, "Brother Ba and we have never had any real feuds, so there is no need to fight for life and death. But we are not afraid of Brother Ba, it's just that we have a heart of sympathy and respect for each other!" Ba Fenghan didn't expect him to speak so gracefully, he was stunned for a while, and said with a wry smile: "Although I don't have any feud with Brother Kou and Brother Xu, it's a pity that Bamou's two confidante are willing to kill them both, how could Bamou Stand by and watch?" Kou Zhong smiled and said: "Brother Ba, if you can really stand by and watch, the matter will be solved, don't you believe it? Ha! Let me do an experiment and you see, Xiaoling! Stand up and let the princess kill you! Don't fight back." Shan Wanjing, who had been silent all this time, was furious and said, "Kou Zhong, get out and die first, and see if I dare to kill you." Kou Zhong laughed and said, "Look, everyone! If Master Bao couldn't kill Xiao Ling, why would he ask me, Young Master Zhong, to replace him?" "Clang!" Shan Wanjing drew out her sword, took two steps forward, pointed at the two of them with the tip of the sword with a cold face, and said, "Get out, I'll kill you two little thieves, and I don't need anyone's help." Xiang Yushan said solemnly: "Princess, please think twice, once someone bleeds, there will be an unresolved hatred and entanglement." Shan Wanjing said coldly: "This is a matter between me and them, it's best for outsiders not to interfere." Yunyu smiled delicately: "Is Ba Fenghan an outsider?" Shan Wanjing resolutely said: "He won't interfere either." Ba Fenghan sat down on the railing of the boat, taking some time to say: "I still use those two old sayings, if it's a one-on-one fair competition, Ba will never interfere." Kou Zhong smiled wryly, "Princess knows that we don't want to hurt you, it's not fair! Xiao Ling! Go and lead the battle!" Xu Ziling strode out, came half a foot in front of Shan Wanjing, and said calmly: "Princess, please give me a trick!" Shan Wanjing's beautiful eyes projected an incomparably complicated expression, and after staring at Xu Ziling for a moment, as if she had made up her mind, she suddenly waved her jade hand, suddenly turning into thousands of lights and shadows, and the sword energy permeated, completely enveloping Xu Ziling. Everyone knew her swordsmanship was superb, but they still didn't expect it to be so amazing. Xu Ziling watched her sword's edge turn into a little bit of cold star, rushing towards her chest, but she still didn't make any reaction. Kou Zhong raised his eyebrows, his eyes shot a sharp look, he didn't look at Xu Ziling's situation, but stared fiercely at Shan Wanjing's appallingly calm eyes. Only he understood that Xu Ziling was gambling with his life in order to resolve this entangled enmity. Ba Fenghan also showed surprise, and put his hand on the handle of the knife, but he didn't know whether he wanted to prevent this from happening, or to prevent Kou Zhong and other bystanders from taking action. Xiang Yushan, Yun Yuzhen, Bu Tianzhi, Song Yuzhi, etc. all changed their expressions at the same time, but the incident happened too fast, they didn't even have time to exclaim, Shan Wanjing's sword tip was only an inch away from Xu Ziling's chest. Kou Zhong leaned forward slightly, his eyes flashed with lightning, as long as Shan Wanjing's sword really pierced through Xu Ziling's chest, he would recklessly kill Shan Wanjing. Ba Fenghan's eyes were fixed on Kou Zhong, and he was ready to wait. The sword energy pushed Xu Ziling's tattered clothes back wildly, but he stood there proudly, his pair of tiger eyes shone with a sacred and unfathomable brilliance, and his face was as calm as if it were Gujing. With the sword on his heart, he didn't even frown. At the moment when life and death were decided, Shan Wanjing's eyes finally changed. It was a subtle expression of distress and anger. The sword energy was withdrawn suddenly, and the tip slid upwards obliquely for three inches. The sharp blade pierced Xu Ziling's left flank. Xu Ziling clearly felt that the sword's edge reached the bone and stopped, and then Shan Wanjing drew his sword and retreated quickly. Blood gushed out wildly, but Xu Ziling still stood firm as a mountain, without shaking a little. Up to this time, no one screamed, and more than a hundred people in the two boats seemed to have become dumb. Kou Zhong breathed a sigh of relief. Ba Fenghan turned his gaze back to Xu Ziling, first a look of admiration flashed in his eyes, and then a murderous intent flashed and disappeared. Shan Wanjing retreated to the end of the bow, looked down at Xu Ziling's blood stained on the blade, and said with a livid face, "Xu Ziling! Why didn't you fight back?" Xu Ziling took a deep breath, used his skills to stop the blood from the wound, and said softly, "Princess, calm down a little!" Shan Wanjing's chest heaved violently, looked up at Xu Ziling, shook her head slowly and said: "The anger will never go away, but the matter of stealing the account book is over." He flipped and disappeared into the dense forest beside the bank. The most surprising thing was that he didn't call Ba Fenghan to go with him. Everyone's eyes fell on the embarrassed Ba Fenghan. Yunyu was really shocked, and she shouted: "Princess is gone, Mr. Ba is still leaving?" Ba Fenghan shook his head and smiled wryly: "A woman who has changed her mind, what is there to chase after?" His figure flickered, and he left as if he had disappeared suddenly.
