Chapter 93 Chapter 11 Concubine's Name

Kou Zhongce rode up to Xu Ziling who was the leader, and said: "She hasn't woken up yet, if she doesn't get a drop of water, she will disappear in a few days." Xu Ziling turned his head and glanced at the mule cart that had specially set up a sunshade tent for her, and suddenly smiled, and said lightly: "Young Master Zhong, have you noticed that her breath and pulse are always the same in length and weight, according to my opinion. This is an extremely high-quality turtle's breathing technique, and I'm sure she is the outstanding successor sent by the Yingui sect to deal with Shi Feixuan."

Kou Zhong was deeply troubled and said: "Last night, if we were willing to let the hungry wolves gobble her up, the truth would come to light, but we are also afraid that a mistake would turn into an eternal hatred and kill someone's life just because of our suspicion. .” Although the surroundings are full of wildness, with floating mist and verdant forests, the beauty is picturesque, but the two of them carry this spiritual burden, but they have no intention of watching it. Kou Zhong continued: "Assuming she is that demon girl from the Yin Gui sect, she and Qu Ao will join forces to bring us bad luck, why waste so much time pretending to be a ghost?"

Xu Ziling said solemnly: "You seem to be gradually conquered by her beauty, otherwise why would you defend her all the time. Don't forget that things in the world are always unexpected. For example, she wants to lure us to unblock her acupuncture points, taking the opportunity to absorb our energy with evil skills. Or maybe we want to find out our strange practice methods so that we can increase her long-term skills and defeat Shi Feixuan, who can be sure whether it is true or not?" Kou Zhong muttered: "How could I be so easily bewitched or conquered by her? But Duan Yucheng and those four boys have all become distraught after seeing her, that's what makes people worry!"

Xu Ziling said decisively: "Since she came to the door, there is no way to escape if she wants to. We have to deal with her to the end to see what magic weapon she has besides pretending to be unconscious." Kou Zhong was surprised and said: "You seem to have identified her as a demon girl. If it turns out that she is just a poor woman whose acupuncture points were sealed by Qu Ao in a strange way, wouldn't that be a big joke?" Xu Ziling showed a bright smile full of confidence, and said leisurely: "This struggle is all about patience and confidence. As long as we force her to reveal her true colors, we will win, understand?"

Kou Zhong nodded and said: "Your feeling is definitely right. Let's go and see her! I don't believe she can pretend to sleep forever. Sigh! I'd rather face Qu Ao than face this tricky thing .” At dusk, they walked for more than ten miles, looking at places suitable for camping while walking. At this time, it was only six or seven miles away from Baizhang Gorge, but because we wanted to avoid the battlefield last night, we took a detour, which increased the distance by seven or eight miles. No matter what, we will not be able to reach Baizhang Gorge tonight, and it is not advisable to risk it at night. gorge.

The routes they took were all desolate mountains and fields, with desolate terrain, overgrown with weeds, and no human habitation. At last they rested in a plain. After Duan Yucheng and Bao Zhifu sent the girl in yellow into the tent, they walked out in a daze, speechless. Shi Jie and Ma Gui went to see her with an excuse, and the four of them seemed to be distracted, which made Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling secretly startled. Although the two of them had reminded and warned the four people many times, they knew that not only would they not believe it, but they would not listen to it at all. Kou Zhong pulled Xu Ziling aside and said: "Now there is a dilemma. If this woman is really the treasure that two parties are fighting for, one of them will definitely set up an ambush in Baizhang Gorge, then our salt goods will definitely be declared dead, and they will be fulfilled." The four of them also lost their lives."

After a pause, he continued: "If we go to Baizhang Gorge to explore the road tonight, if someone comes to snatch her, not only will we not be able to keep her, but Yucheng and the others will die for nothing, what should we do?" Xu Ziling said: "It is better to be still than to move. We will stay here tonight and make plans before crossing the gorge tomorrow. Sigh! Is there a second route to Shebaizhang Gorge?" Kou Zhongdao: "Of course there are, but it will take ten more days of work. By then, someone might have snatched He Shibi." Xu Ziling said unhappily: "With the 'Yanggong Treasure', you still can't forget Heshibi, when did you become so greedy?"

Kou Zhong laughed and said, "Master Ling calm down, I'm just using a vivid analogy! Can't you even joke?" Xu Ziling was about to speak, when the sound of hooves suddenly sounded, coming from far to near.Could it be that if you say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive?If Qu Ao came in person, what should we do? Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling stood side by side, waiting for the enemy to come, while Duan Yucheng and the others were busy buckling up the mule, and carried the woman in yellow to the mule cart specially arranged for her. Under the half of the new moon, the thirteen knights gradually approached, following the route they had passed earlier, apparently chasing after the trail left by the mule cart.

The visitor obviously saw them and slowed down his horse. The middle-aged man who took the lead was tall and strong, wearing black clothes, a red cape, and a thick black mustache on his upper lip. What impresses them the most is that his face is rough and pitted, but the eyes embedded in the pockmarked face are shining like two small lanterns, making him exude a kind of radiance. A beast-like charm that is both terrifying and intimidating. The people behind him were all dressed in black, of different heights, fat and thin, but they all exuded a fierce vigor. Kou Zhong leaned closer to Xu Ziling's ear and said, "I'm afraid it's the owner of the exclusive villa."

Xu Ziling nodded and said: "Speaking of which, we were still comrades in arms with him last night, so if we don't need to do anything, then we don't." At this time, the people who dominated the villa stopped their horses about ten feet away from them, and they all dismounted, moving neatly and quickly. The leader came out in front of the two, clasped his fists and said, "Fang Zetao, the master of the villa, I wonder if the two brothers Kou and Xu who have been famous all over the world in recent years?" Seeing his polite manner, the two fell in love with him. Kou Zhong returned the courtesy and replied: "Villa Master Fang is overrated. The two of us are just desperadoes who were driven around here and there."

Fang Zetao laughed and said: "A true hero is one who is successful but not arrogant. Who can kill Ren Shaoming and still get away calmly among thousands of troops, how can he be just a desperado." Xu Ziling smiled and said, "Master Fang, please don't praise us. I wonder if the reason for your visit today is because we rescued the woman in yellow last night?" Fang Zetao's eyes shot out enthusiasm and concern, and he asked humbly and politely: "I, Fang Zetao, will never forget the kindness of helping you two last night. May I ask where Miss Wanhou is now?" Kou Zhong breathed a sigh of relief: "It turns out that her name is Wan Wan, what is the relationship between her and the owner?" Fang Zetao turned his head and said to his subordinates: "You are responsible for keeping watch around, and you must wake up." When his subordinates were ordered to disperse in all directions, Fang Zetao said kindly: "Shall we talk as we go?" Both of them felt a little absurd about their previous suspiciousness, nodded and led him to the loaded mule cart. Fang Zetao said: "Wu Hou's life experience is very pitiful. When Fang met her, her family's caravan was robbed by thieves, and none of the family members were spared. Those little thieves were greedy for her beauty and were about to fulfill their animal desires. By chance, I ran into it, killed all the robbers, and rescued her back to the manor." Kou Zhongdao: "Forgive me for my lack of knowledge, I just looked at Guizhuang's lineup last night, it is by no means an unknown person in the world, why have we never heard of Guizhuang's name?" Fang Zetao replied: "Maybe it's because we haven't established the village for a long time. I was originally a general of the Sui Dynasty. I have occupied Jingling since Emperor Hun was killed by Yu Wenhuaji. But I don't want to be king like other people. Therefore, I established the Domineering Villa with my brothers who have followed me for many years, on the one hand, it can prevent thieves, and on the other hand, we can wait for the appearance of the Ming Lord, so that we can submit to his command and save Jingling from the disaster of war." The two suddenly nodded. Xu Ziling said: "However, the word domination is very domineering. Isn't the owner afraid of being misunderstood?" Fang Zetao laughed and said: "If you don't change your name to something more overbearing, how can you suppress the thieves from all directions? Now the rebels have formed a force, hundreds of them, looting everywhere and recruiting the running hooligans. Among them are Xiang, Fang, Mao and Cao four Da Kou is the most vicious. Oh!!" The three of them came to the mule cart at this time, Fang Zetao saw the peerless beauty lying on the bed made of straw, immediately rushed to the side of the cart desperately, and tremblingly said: "How is she?" The two of them had no more doubts at this moment, Kou Zhong explained her situation, Fang Zetao stretched out his fingers to touch her wrist, and after a while, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he said dejectedly: "This What kind of technique is used to seal the acupuncture points, her meridians are empty, not blocked, but also unable to condense the breath, just like a patient who cannot be replenished." From his judgment, the two of them can deduce that Fang Zetao is a great expert in inner family qigong, and can be ranked among the first-class masters. No wonder he dared to occupy Jingling and dominate. Xu Ziling had a good impression of him, and said, "Does Master Fang know about Qu Ao's acupoint sealing technique? We've never thought about such a weird technique. Qu Ao must have done it himself, right?" Until now, they still don't know why the things like last night happened. Fang Zetao shook his head and said: "Qu Ao will definitely not be the one to do it, because he has not yet set foot in the Central Plains, and only his three apprentices Chang Shumou, Hua Lingzi and Geng Ge Hu'er came here. The most likely thing is that Chang Shumou did it. This person has already obtained Qu Ao's almost true biography, and only he can master all three of Qu Ao's famous skills outside the region." After Kou Zhong read the name of "Chang Shumou" a few times, his eyes turned cold and he said, "Why did Miss Wanwan tie them to a pillar?" Fang Zetao looked at Houhou lovingly, sighed, and said, "This can be said to be a sudden disaster. Half a month ago, I suddenly received a letter from Ren Shaoming, asking me to join the Iron Cavalry Club. Of course, I flatly refused and strengthened the city defense. Fearing that they will attack, there has not been a day in the past two years when we have not been prepared, and we have the support of the people in the city, dare to boast that even if Ren Shaoming attacks with all his strength, we can stop him for a year and a half at any time." Kou Zhong nodded and said: "Of course Young Master Ren would not dare to provoke Du Fuwei and Fu Gongyou, if he wins Jingling, he will be able to establish a northward point in the north of the Yangtze River, so he is determined to win Jingling." Fang Zetao said in surprise, "I never thought Brother Kou would be so good at this." Xu Ziling wondered: "Ren Shaoming is dead, the iron cavalry will be torn apart, and Changshumou's people have become a lone army. Why do you still want to provoke you?" Fang Zetao said distressedly: "I can't even figure this out. Three days ago, someone suddenly broke into my village at night. This person was extremely skilled. He not only injured more than ten people in a row, but also took him away. Alas! Frankly speaking, it is me now." Fang’s lifeblood, I’m not someone who has never seen a beautiful woman, but the first time I saw her, I fell in love with her deeply, and felt that if I lost her, everything would be meaningless. Long Shumou really pinched my vitals and made me completely lose my position." Duan Yucheng, Bao Zhifu, Shi Jie, and Ma Gui who were listening to them all nodded to express their sympathy. It would be a strange thing for anyone to see such a moving beauty and not feel overwhelmed with love. Fang Zetao continued: "Three days ago, I received a letter from my uncle, saying that Houhou fell into their hands, and asked me to die outside the Baizhang Gorge to decide who belongs to me. Sigh! This is my whole life. The most difficult thing to decide is that I know that the other party is planning to divert the tiger away from the mountain, but how should I choose between the tens of thousands of people under my protection in Jingling City and Hou Hou?" Kou Zhong and the others showed sympathy in understanding. Fang Zetao sighed: "In the end I decided to stand still and stay in Jingling. Between public and private affairs, I still know what to do and what not to do." Kou Zhong and others looked at each other in blank dismay, since that was the case, why was there still the battle last night? Fang Zetao smiled wryly and said: "No wonder everyone is so puzzled, it's because my fierce general, also my brother Fang Zeliu, led the soldiers to rescue him privately, and that's when I found out that he is also secretly in love with Houhou, and he was unlucky last night." Died in battle. When the people who escaped told me that the two generals had been rescued, I couldn't hold back any longer and left the city to look for the two, and finally met you here." Xu Ziling sighed secretly, and asked, "Has Master Fang taken Miss Wanhou as his wife?" Fang Zetao shook his head dejectedly and said: "This is what I want to say most every time I see her, but I dare not say it every time, for fear that she will flatly refuse or even walk away. She doesn't like to talk, she only likes someone Alone, her personality is elusive, but my admiration for her is growing day by day." Everyone fell silent. Looking at this peerless beauty who looked like she was sleeping soundly, everyone imagined in their hearts the image of her softly speaking and smiling beauty. At this moment, the force of the air pressure came to the top, and the tent burst.
