Chapter 145 Chapter 3 Leisure in the Eastern Capital

Wang Shichong galloped slowly towards his official office, and asked Kou Zhong with a frown, "If he's planning an empty city, wouldn't it make the world laugh at us if we retreat without a fight?" Ouyang Xiyi on the other side, Lang Feng and Song Mengqiu behind all showed signs of agreement. Kou Zhong smiled and said: "If we really attack Miyagi with our troops, there are only two possibilities, one is to break into the city; the other is to suffer heavy casualties and not be able to persist. Regardless of the possibility, it will be harmful to us. Because our ambition is not here, as long as we can defeat Li Mi, we are afraid that Yang Tong and Dugu Feng will not submit obediently. Just now, just looking at Dugu Feng's fearless posture, we know that he has Li Mi behind him, and he is not afraid of our strong attack at all."

Ouyang Xiyi was puzzled and said: "If we can control Miyagi and wipe out Dugu's party, what harm will it do us?" Kou Zhong respectfully replied: "Senior asked a good question. Regardless of how difficult it is to break the city, if Luoyang returns to stability, Li Mi will still be willing to send troops west. He will definitely take a wait-and-see attitude and wait for another favorable situation. Come to attack. At that time, victory or defeat is unpredictable, how can it compare with the current favorable situation?" Several people around, including Wang Shichong, were greatly convinced.

You must know that Wang Shichong and Li Mi have never won half a match in the past.The reason why Wang Shichong can still stand so firmly is that Luoyang has twelve gates on all sides, all gates are gates, the inside is fortified layer by layer, the outside is surrounded by long moats, and there is a strong city with natural barriers. Therefore, once Li Mi knew something was going on in Luoyang, he would not miss the opportunity, so they would have the opportunity to take advantage of it. Wang Shichong still had doubts, and asked: "Dugufeng is very powerful, and he is not a good man or a believer. In addition, wouldn't it be that the initiative is handed over to him?"

Kou Zhong said confidently: "Of course it can't be like this. Now as long as we have a heavy army outside Duanmen, Dugufeng can't move. When Li Mi comes to attack, we will seal all the entrances and exits of the palace city, but we don't attack the city, only cut off the inside and outside. At that time, Yang Tong can be forced to hand over the grain road, so why bother to attack the city with blood?" Ouyang Xiyi smiled happily and said: "No wonder the little brother turned the south upside down. It really is not just a show of bravery. But we must be careful of the sneak attack of the opponent's master. If Mrs. You personally strikes, I am afraid it will not be easy to deal with."

Wang Shichong sneered: "If I, Wang Shichong, were killed so easily, I would have died more than ten times earlier." Kou Zhong smiled and said: "Of course, hey! I also want to find some people to help me!" When Xu Ziling came to Xinzhong Bridge, Ba Fenghan had been waiting for a long time, he greeted him happily, and said with a smile: "I was just counting how many small boats were moored at the east pier of the bridge, just now you counted the 383rd boat Here we come. The waterway and land traffic here is really dense. It seems that all the boats and vehicles from all over the world have come here to fill up the riverways and streets. In addition, Chinese and foreign merchants come to sell their spices, treasures, brocade silk, or grain and tea. The distribution center for Chinese and foreign goods is unmatched by other cities.”

Xu Ziling took a look around and saw that the bridge was really crowded, tens of thousands of people gathered, hotels, wine and restaurants lined up, connecting the north and south markets of Luoshui, it was very lively, he smiled and said: "I thought there would be a competition Brother Han is here early!" Ba Fenghan and he walked down the Xinzhong Bridge with the crowd, and walked along the street without crossing the market: "Wanjing wants to see you, but I don't know what Ziling thinks?" Xu Ziling was taken aback, frowned and said, "Why does she want to see me?"

Ba Fenghan smiled and said: "She actually sent the message through me, of course it wasn't because of her children's affair, Ziling don't worry. As for what it was, she didn't say anything." Xu Ziling hesitated to speak, Ba Fenghan said with a smile: "Are you surprised about my relationship with Wanjing? How can you understand it? Or it can be said that within a certain period of time, we have a good chance to develop into a couple. But we all let this opportunity slip by, I have my own heart..." He slapped the Xuanxuan Sword on his back vigorously, and continued: "But she has something to belong to."

Xu Ziling smiled and said, "Maybe one day you two will feel a pity when you think about it!" Ba Fenghan shook his head and said, "I won't regret this kind of thing. It doesn't matter if you say I'm ruthless. In short, the relationship between a man and a woman lacks an eternal value. To me, men and women are also It’s about being able to get along like a bosom friend.” At this time, a group of sturdy armed men came towards them, staring at the two of them fiercely, but Ba Fenghan swept his eyes sharply, and all of them avoided their eyes invincibly. Xu Ziling smiled and said, "Brother Fenghan and the princess seem to be more than just friends, right?"

Ba Fenghan shrugged his shoulders and said: "Some things that are inconvenient for the Dongming faction, I will do them, such as collecting bills, or finding someone to settle the bills, otherwise how can I make a living, is Ling Shao satisfied?" Xu Ziling laughed dumbly and said: "It's rare to see you so easy-going and funny. It can be seen that Brother Feng Han is in a great mood after seeing a beautiful woman!" Ba Fenghan said in surprise: "This matter is really strange. People say that gentlemen are good-natured. There must be extremely rare beauties like princesses in the world. Even I was moved by her when I saw her. It's just that you, Xu Ziling, don't care about her at all." , what's the matter?"

Xu Ziling followed Ba Fenghan and turned into the main street leading to the East Gate, which was the place where they agreed that Kou Zhong would leave a mark. Because the two have their own unique appearances, walking side by side like this naturally attracts the attention of passers-by, while the girls frequently wink at them. Xu Ziling turned a blind eye to other people's attention and the beauty's favor, and said indifferently: "Since ancient times, how many men and women have sacrificed everything for love, brother Feng Han, can you tell me what kind of feelings that is?"

Ba Fenghan put his hand on Xu Ziling's shoulder, and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid I, you and Kou Zhong are the people who are the least qualified to talk about this issue. Or in life, they will naturally pursue certain things, such as fame and wealth, a beautiful wife My concubine, only through this process of pursuit can life have meaning." Thinking of Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling nodded and said, "Well said! The most interesting thing is the process of pursuit and the moment of success, and then another pursuit begins." Ba Fenghan sighed emotionally: "So love without results is the most perfect. This statement seems pessimistic and gloomy, but it is the eternal truth. Sigh! Any woman who falls in love with us is doomed to fail. There will be results, and it hurts to think about it." He said again: "You haven't answered whether I would like to see Wan Jing?" Xu Ziling smiled wryly and said, "Can you spare me? Don't forget that she once stabbed me with a sword. At that time, I made up my mind that I would never want to have anything to do with her in the future." Ba Fenghan was silent for a while, and after walking more than ten steps, he nodded and said: "This should be a wise move! I will not bring up the matter of Wan Jing in front of you again!" He glanced at him and continued: "Do you know that we are walking in the street like this, waiting to declare war and provoke all our enemies." Xu Ziling smiled and said: "I haven't thought about this problem, but now that people from all walks of life in Luoyang are gathered together, and they are restraining each other, it is easier for us. I don't believe that anyone dares to gather crowds to besiege us unscrupulously." Ba Fenghan smiled coldly, and said nonchalantly: "So now is a good opportunity for us to take the opportunity to fight back. Tonight we will collect a bad debt and see if the other party is willing to pay back the debt." Hearing what he said, Xu Ziling immediately knew that Ba Fenghan had obtained information from Shan Wanjing, and said with a smile, "Who is this person who owes us this debt?" Ba Fenghan said indifferently: "This person is an elder in the Yingui Sect, as long as he can be caught, he will not have to worry about knowing your Aunt Yu's situation." Xu Ziling said in astonishment: "People from the Yin Gui Sect are famous for their secrets, but from your tone, it looks like they can be found easily!" Ba Fenghan explained: "This person has another identity on the surface. No one knows that he is actually an important figure of the Yingui Sect, and he is the highest person in charge of the Yingui Sect's intelligence in the north. You should know who told Let me give you important news! Because I promised you not to mention her name in front of you again." Xu Ziling smiled wryly: "Don't play tricks on me! Just say what you want! I also want to find someone to ask Yucheng and their whereabouts, but I have nowhere to ask!" Ba Fenghan stopped a few hundred steps away from the middle gate of the East City, pointed to a noodle restaurant across the street and said, "This is the place where we agreed to leave a mark with Kou Zhong. The best restaurant in this restaurant is Chuan Noodles. If you are as savory as I am, you will definitely feast on it." Xu Ziling said happily: "Then try their Dandan noodles! I'll treat you this time." The two were about to cross the street when suddenly a carriage stopped in front of them, just blocking their way. They stopped in astonishment and looked around. The window cloth hangs low, exuding a mysterious smell. The driver was a strong man with an unfamiliar face. At this time, he grinned, showing two rows of neat white teeth, and said in a deep voice: "Where are the two gentlemen going, let the villain give you a ride! Your enemies are so Too much, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to wander around!" As soon as he spoke, the two immediately recognized him as Kou Zhong. Amidst laughter and cursing, they happily boarded the car and squeezed to sit on both sides of Kou Zhong. Kou Zhong shouted exaggeratedly, and the two horses pulling the cart turned southwards, turning into another avenue balanced with the city wall.Another hand tore off the mask, stuffed it into his bosom and laughed, "Finally came to Luoyang! Our enemies are in trouble!" This time, Xu Ziling and Ba Fenghan stood condescendingly at the carriage throne and looked down at the wide and endless long street. The frequent traffic of carriages and horses on the street, and the bustling pedestrians on both sides of the road gave another feeling. Kou Zhong was in high spirits, he raised his hooves, and recounted his "fights" with Wang Shichong and Dugu Feng in one breath, obviously his trust in Ba Fenghan increased greatly. After hearing this, Ba Fenghan smiled and said: "Then we have to wake up the twelve spirits now, Mrs. You may still not bother to make a move, but Dugufeng will definitely not let us go. Women are more unscrupulous than men when they are assassins. of." Kou Zhong said confidently: "Our ten days in the mountains are not for nothing, and the experience on this journey has made the three of us constantly make breakthroughs. We just don't know where to find some real masters to try our knives. It'd be nice if they'd come to your door. Hey! But we'd better not part from now on." The two of them finally showed their tails after hearing his last sentence, and they were almost blown away by it. Feeling very embarrassed, Kou Zhong quickly changed the subject and said, "What did you two guys do?" Ba Fenghan shrugged and said, "I met Shan Wanjing and collected some information about the Yingui Sect, that's all." Kou Zhong lost his voice: "What? You two went to meet Princess Dongming together?" Xu Ziling felt a strange feeling in his heart. Before getting along with Ba Fenghan, he always felt that he was ruthless, but in fact he also had an emotional side. Ba Fenghan smiled and said: "Brothers are like siblings, wives are like clothes, not to mention Wanjing's name has been fixed, so what's the problem with seeing her together? But in fact, Young Master Ling backed down and went shopping by himself." Kou Zhong asked Xu Ziling, "Have you visited Yucheng and the others at the agreed place?" Xu Ziling shook his head and said no, and then wrote lightly: "I have only met four people, and the order is Li Jing, Liu Heita, Li Shimin and Shi Feixuan." Both of them shouted in unison: "What?" It caused people on the street to look at their slow-moving car along the road. The royal willows in Tianjin are far away in the distance, and the prime minister Xuan Qi is halfway down to court. Kou Zhongce drove the carriage and turned into Tianjie, which runs through the southern gate of the imperial city and Dingding gate. The avenue lined with pagoda trees and willows is lined with thousands of houses and pavilions. Shops, paper shops, cotton shops, fresh fruit shops, etc. were set up one after another, and they flourished for a while. The streets are full of pedestrians, cars and sedans are constantly flowing, and it is like a bustling metropolis. At this time Xu Ziling had just confessed what happened this morning.Both agreed that Qin Chuan was probably Shi Feixuan. Looking at the Tianjin Bridge, the carriage drove away. Due to the large number of people and vehicles on the road, the speed was quite slow. Against the backdrop of the north-south facing fourth floor, Tianjin Bridge is more and more colorful. The south of the bridge is Dong's restaurant where Xu Ba enjoyed tea this morning. Ba Fenghan frowned and said, "One thing is very strange. Just now, Ziling said that he sensed a mysterious sense of tranquility from Qin Chuan, who may be Shi Feixuan, so he asked him if he is a Buddhist, right?" Xu Ziling nodded and said, "This is so strange." Kou Zhong's eyes sparkled coldly, but he didn't make a sound. Ba Fenghan said: "Is that feeling very strong?" Xu Ziling pondered for a while, then replied: "I can't say it's strong, but it's very clear." Ba Fenghan patted his legs and sighed: "That's right. If Qin Chuan is really Shi Feixuan, with her brilliance, she will never reveal any information about herself, so He's Bi must belong to her, and Shaoling What I sensed was only He's Bi on her body, and the legendary He's Bi has the magical effect of calming the mind." Both of them thought it was reasonable, and greatly admired Ba Fenghan's wisdom. Kou Zhong let out a long breath and said, "So, this Qin Chuan must be Shi Feixuan." Ba Fenghan said in a deep voice, "It may also be Ning Daoqi himself." Xu Ziling was startled and said, "My mother!" Kou Zhongce drove past the gorgeous sedan chair carried by four healthy servants, and said with a wry smile: "Whether Qin Chuan is the wife or old man Ning, I will secretly snatch He Shi Biming into my hands, otherwise if Give it to Boy Li, and I'm going back to the countryside to plow the fields!" The two gasped and were speechless.
