Chapter 159 Chapter 4 Menacing

Wang Shichong said in amazement: "Didn't He Shibi fall into your hands?" With just such a sentence, Kou Zhong can be sure that someone in the Jingnian Temple secretly communicated with Wang Shichong.Because he had to know that He's Bi had been stolen by someone before he would be surprised that it wasn't Kou Zhong who stole the treasure. After the three of them cleaned up all the traces in Qingxi this morning, they found a hiding place to bury all the evidence of crimes, including masks, clothes, and durian swords, before they swaggered into the city. The gatekeepers were all from Wang Shichong, so they immediately stopped Kou Zhong and "invited" him to see Wang Shichong.

Xu Ziling and Ba Fenghan parted ways, the former went to meet Xu Xingzhi, and the latter went to see Princess Dongming to inquire about the news. Secret room. Kou Zhong pretended to sit down with a wry smile, and sighed: "Don't mention it! We touched the bell tower of the Buddhist monastery, but we were surprised by Kongna's bald head and mobilized hundreds of monks to chant sutras to us. retreat." Wang Shichong's eyes gleamed coldly, and after staring at him for a while, he said in surprise, "Leaving aside the matter of He Shibi, why do your complexion and eyes look a little different from before?"

Kou Zhong stretched his waist and said: "It's called karma that concentrates on diligence and idleness on play. After escaping from Jingnian Temple last night, we had nothing to do, and we opened up the meridian for each other with true energy on a nearby mountain. Look at it, it can be seen that our practice method is very effective." This is all evidence fabricated by the three men.The truth hides the false, and the false contains the truth. Even if you are as cunning as Wang Shichong, it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false. Kou Zhong then frowned and said: "Judging from the prince's tone, it seems that He's Bi has been stolen by someone. This is impossible. First, the Jingnian Temple is as big as the imperial city, and looking for a small gem is like looking for a needle in a haystack. The second is Everyone in the monastery has high martial arts skills, and the sky is even more unfathomable. Unless you mobilize your army to attack by force, we can only look at the more than 800 stone steps in front of the temple gate and sigh."

Wang Shichong was silent for a while, sighed and said in a dejected way: "Even if I believe you, it's useless. Just now Jingnian Temple sent someone to come to me and asked me to tell you to return He's Bi to the Temple before tonight, otherwise they will not hesitate. Take He's Bi from you, even I can't protect you in this situation." Kou Zhong was furious and said: "If there is such a reason, even if you kill me, you won't be able to hand over the jade bi." The latter sentence is absolutely true. But when Wang Shichong said so, he overturned Kou Zhong's conjecture that someone in the courtyard had secretly communicated with him.

Wang Shichong frowned and said, "Liao Kong has always been indifferent to worldly affairs, but this trip was clearly a real fire because of the lost treasure, and you happened to have been there before the lost treasure, so this time you jumped into the Yellow River and you can't clear up the suspicion." , the three of you better find a place to avoid the limelight. I really don’t want to confront Jingnian Temple, Cihang Jingzhai, or even Ning Daoqi.” Kou Zhong secretly scolded Wang Shichong for not being loyal enough, but on the surface he pretended to be understanding, and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I will never make things difficult for you. Hey! May I go?"

Wang Shichong sighed and said: "I know you must blame me for not having enough friends. But in the current situation, I really can't distract myself from provoking such a strong enemy. However, if the matter of stealing He's Bi has nothing to do with you, it will be natural in the future. There is a chance that the truth will come to light.” Kou Zhong knew that he didn't fully believe the story the three of them co-wrote, so he smiled and said, "Who am I, Kou Zhong, afraid of? Who cares about his mother's concubine Xuan, Lao Kong bald, and old ghost Ning? bring it on."

Wang Shichong put his hand on his shoulder. Kou Zhong thought that he was going to plot against him to take the opportunity to search the body, he was startled and the zhenqi in his body was activated naturally, and all the zhenqi was filled in an instant, at least twice as fast as before, one of them came out of the Jianjing acupoint and hit Wang Shichong's palm . "Snapped!" Wang Shichong's palm bounced and he exclaimed, "What are you doing?" Fortunately, Wang Shichong's skills are profound, otherwise he would be injured. Only then did Kou Zhong realize that he had misunderstood him, Hu Chu said: "I'm too busy to tell the prince, the kung fu I practiced from "The Secret of Longevity" is often out of control."

Wang Shichong used his skills to transform the spiral energy that had been invaded by him, and said with a strange expression: "Your skills are much higher than I guessed. No wonder Shangguan Long will be defeated by you. I forgot to ask you: you How to deal with him?" Kou Zhong said dejectedly: "'Yin Empress' Zhu Yuyan took action in person, and snatched this guy away by blocking the way." Wang Shichong was startled and said, "Zhu Yuyan?" Kou Zhong smiled wryly this time: "Who else is there if it's not her? Otherwise, who can get rid of the fat that has reached our mouths. That's right! Who will win the decisive battle between Qu Ao and Fu Qian last night?"

Wang Shichong stared at him wide-eyed for a long while, then showed an unbelievable expression, shook his head and said, "Since Zhu Yuyan made a move, how can she just want someone instead of her life?" Kou Zhong snorted coldly, his eyes shone with a more powerful gleam than before, and said in a deep voice: "Then it must be compared with the real ability. I admit that fighting alone is definitely not her hands and feet, but the three of them together , she can't help us. The prince hasn't answered my question yet." Wang Shichong let out a sigh of relief and said, "Do you know that when you got angry just now, your eyes lit up like strange lights in the night sky? Electricity'. Although I have met countless capable people, there are never more than five people with golden eyes. No wonder Zhu Yuyan can't deal with you."

Kou Zhong was overjoyed in his heart, but afraid that he would be suspicious again, he said with a smile: "Your Majesty praised me! I was so good at that. It's just that the "Longevity Formula" is unusual. From the beginning, it was a sympathy between heaven and man. But it's not really kung fu. It reached the level that the prince said. I almost forgot to ask you, what happened to the Duhu Clan? Didn’t you say that the palace city was besieged? Why did I see Dugu Feng walking around in the Manqing courtyard last night?" Wang Shichong said: "Do you remember the 'beautiful Hu Ji' Linglongjiao? Not only is she beautiful and has high martial arts skills, but she is also quite intelligent and good at scouting the enemy's situation. She is really a rare talent."

Kou Zhong's heart immediately floated up her charming demeanor that was as cold as ice, she refused to be thousands of miles away, but full of feminine allure.He nodded and said, "I have always had a good memory for beautiful women." Wang Shichong said with a smile: "Men should be like this. Let me tell you! She went to Miyagi three times last night to find out the news, and came back to say that the Dugu Clan is from top to bottom, and everyone is high-spirited and full of confidence. I didn't know it after hearing it." Wonderful, Dugu Peak must have something to rely on, so it can be so calm and relaxed, not afraid that I will surround Miyagi. After discussion, Brother Xiyi, Taoist Ke Feng and Chen Changlin all agreed: We have stretched the front so long, if the enemy counterattacks , we will be at a loss. Therefore, to concentrate our forces in the imperial city, and then widely spread secret sentries in the palace city, so that we can advance, attack, retreat and defend, it is much more clever in terms of strategy, what do you think?" Kou Zhong thought to himself that this beautiful orchid is really talented, and he can tell the clue from the other's expression.She nodded and said: "Linglongjiao is very accurate. I think Dugufeng is waiting for someone from the Nanhai faction. I heard that 'Nanhai Immortal' Mr. Huang came here by mistake." Wang Shichong changed his expression and said, "Where did you get the news? How could Dugufeng invite him?" Kou Zhonghao calmly said: "Of course Dugufeng doesn't have this ability. But Li Mi has a close relationship with Mr. Huang. Maybe the Nanhai faction also wants to expand its influence to the north, so the old man loves his concubine and they hit it off. Old man Huang and Mrs. You Son, it's almost two hundred years of skill, it's really not easy to deal with." Wang Shichong stood up and said: "This matter is not trivial, I must make arrangements immediately, otherwise I will die without knowing what is going on." Kou Zhong knew his selfish character early on, so he left the question of Fu Qian and Qu Ao's victory or defeat, and left immediately. After stepping out of the heavily guarded Shangshu Mansion, Dong Shuni's delicate voice sounded from behind: "Kou Zhong! Get lost there these two days." When Xu Ziling stepped into Dong's Restaurant at Qiaotou, Tianjin, more than a dozen eyes fell on him at the same time. The restaurant was crowded with people as usual, and the noisy atmosphere was intense, half of which were business travelers and people from all over the world. Those who opened their eyes to look at him all showed surprise, and whispered to the friends beside them. Including some girls winking at him frequently. Xu Ziling knew in his heart that he must have made a show last night at the Manqing Court, which suddenly made him a "celebrity". If they dare to be openly hostile to Li Mi, Yingui faction, Qu Ao and other major forces, who would dare to underestimate them. What's more, last night they exposed the true identity of Shangguan Long from the Luoyang gang, and captured him alive with real kung fu. This matter involved the rise and fall of the martial arts in Luoyang, so it would be strange if it didn't spread to the whole city. All these factors add up, and the three of them become the most eye-catching figures in Luoyang. "So it's Master Xu. Will Master Kou come later? Can the villain lead Master Xu to the upstairs wing first?" It turned out to be the guy who greeted them yesterday.I don't know if I received the news, but my attitude is more sincere and respectful than yesterday. Xu Ziling also wanted to find a quiet place for a while, but the purpose of coming this time was to let Xu Xingzhi find himself, he sighed secretly, and said: "I'm just here alone, I think it's more lively in the lobby." The waiter hurriedly said: "I will follow Master Xu's orders, and I will find a table for Master Xu immediately." After Xu Ziling received such a grand and solemn reception, he felt uncomfortable and said with a faint smile, "Call me when you have a free table! I'll go outside to see the scenery around the Tianjin Bridge." Without waiting for his answer, he walked out of the gate. Under the sunshine, people and vehicles on the Tianjin Bridge come and go, and boats shuttle back and forth on the Luoshui River flowing under the bridge. At this time, someone came out of the restaurant, when Xu Ziling stepped aside, that person had already stuffed a piece of paper into his hand, Xu Ziling recognized that it was just a fake move, he was all troubled, and hurriedly put the paper ball in his sleeve. Xu Xingzhi walked up the Tianjin Bridge, but did not enter the crowd. When Xu Ziling was about to go back and tell the guy not to bother finding a table, a carriage stopped in front of him. The curtain was lifted, revealing Shen Luoyan's beautiful face. This handsome military adviser known for his cleverness smiled sweetly and said, "Zi Ling! Come in the car and have a chat with him, please?" Xu Ziling felt annoyed for a while, and said coldly: "The way is different, if we don't conspire with each other, what else can we talk about?" Shen Luoyan said indifferently: "Mr. Xu obviously doesn't know something. Rumors are flying all over the East Capital now, saying that He's Bi has fallen into the hands of you and one of those two good friends. At this moment, who is not gearing up and swears To take the treasure from you, don't you want to know more information?" Xu Ziling was very stunned. The loss of the treasure in the Jingnian Temple only happened last night, if the people in the Temple didn't leak the news on purpose, how could it have spread to the streets and alleys.However, Shen Luoyan's words were always difficult to tell the truth from the false, maybe he took the opportunity to deliberately exaggerate. Xu Ziling smiled and said: "Don't be joking! Although I know a possible collection place for He's Bi, I am not qualified to steal treasures. I don't believe that someone can steal the seal from there. You don't have to test me." Shen Luoyan stared at him for a long while, as if distinguishing the authenticity of what he said, and then sighed quietly: "If you are telling the truth, then you have already gotten into big trouble. Cihang Jingzhai has the supreme authority in Jianghu. status, no one dares to provoke them!" Xu Ziling pretended to be stunned and said: "What are you talking about? It looks like He Shibi is really lost. Where did you hear the news?" Shen Luoyan looked around, and the passers-by were all looking at them with open eyes, and said slightly annoyed: "Can we talk in the car? Are there people talking about secrets in the streets and alleys where people come and go?" Xu Ziling smiled slightly and said, "We have nothing to talk about. If they think it was me who stole it, then it's me who stole it!" Ignore her again, turn left and walk towards Tianjin Bridge. After walking more than ten steps, Shen Luoyan chased him out of the car, rushed to him, and said angrily, "How did you get your head? You are so stubborn and obsessed, it means that you have been to Jingnian before you lost your treasure." Chanyuan, if people don’t look for you, who can they look for? Although you wear a mask, someone recognizes your figure.” Xu Ziling groaned in his heart, but luckily the other party did not have any real evidence, but the only way to do this is to deny it. Shen Luoyan was wearing a goose-yellow dress, which was as glamorous as the brilliant sunshine in Luoyang, but Xu Ziling had no intention of admiring it. Xu Ziling sighed, "Who did you listen to?" Shen Luoyan said indifferently: "Do you know that Wang Bo and Le Kong have been friends for nearly fifty years, and this morning he sent martial arts posts to all parties, telling the story of He's Bi being stolen. You still haven’t returned the treasure, and he will use any means to kill the three of you, do you still think it’s a joke?” Xu Ziling smiled and said: "If I'm really a treasure thief, and I flew far away last night, I will still be here waiting for someone to come and find my bad luck. No matter what, just come for those who have the ability!" At this time, the two walked down the Tianjin Bridge.The man's wine is elegant and elegant, like a fairy; the woman's beauty is glamorous, just like a fairy down to earth.Naturally, it attracted passers-by's sideways glances and cast envious and appreciative glances. Who would have thought that they seemed to be inseparable, and what they were talking about was even more such a murderous thing. After walking with him for a while, Shen Luoyan stomped Xiaoman's feet lightly and said, "When did you become as arrogant and arrogant as Kou Zhong? Do you know that after midnight tonight, you will become public enemies of the martial arts. Find out Among your people will be Shi Feixuan and Ning Daoqi, and the most powerful top sects of good and evil have become your big enemies." Xu Ziling smiled wryly and said, "Then what can I do? I have no choice but to use soldiers to block it, and flood it with earth." Shen Luoyan lowered her voice and said, "If that thing is really in your hands, we can make a deal." Xu Ziling said, "Even if it's really in my hands, I won't trade with anyone related to Li Mi. Master Shen, do you understand?" Shen Luoyan lowered his head and remained silent, approached silently, and said softly: "If I don't have any relationship with Li Mi anymore? So what?" Xu Ziling glanced at her in amazement, shook his head in disbelief, "I'll just think you're joking." Shen Luoyan sighed, nodded and said: "I know you never believed me, but this trip is really for your own good. The biggest problem is that it is impossible to drill out of thin air a treasure thief that no one knows about." Come on? The only possibility is that one of the three of you is dressed up, and your body shape is similar. A man dares to do something, why is he afraid to admit what he has done, and is he not afraid to make the world laugh?" Her eloquence was so strong that Xu Ziling was almost overwhelmed, and said with a wry smile: "Since that's the case, then we have no choice but to flee Luoyang before the time is up, because no one will believe us no matter how we argue." Shen Luoyan pulled him into a side alley, turned left and right, reached a quiet place, and whispered: "This is exactly the deal I want to make with you, and it was also instructed by Migong himself. As long as you admit that He Shibi It is indeed in your hands, not only do we not need you to hand it over, but we also wipe out all previous suspicions and use all human and material resources to send you out of Luoyang, how about it?" Even Xu Ziling felt a little moved when he heard these words, he frowned and said, "Don't lie to me, doesn't the boss of the military division want to keep He's Bi as his own?" Shen Luoyan said angrily: "You and Kou Zhong are both smart for a lifetime, but stupid for a while. Who knows that He's Bi is something that no one wants to have, but they will never be stupid enough to steal it. He's Bi Although it is the most famous gem in the past and present, its real value lies in its historical significance and symbolism. Moreover, this jade was originally kept by the most respected Ning Daoqi in the world, and then he handed it to the teacher representing Bai Dao Wulin Feixuan, only a desperate lunatic would steal it. Do you really understand? Only when Shi Feixuan officially hands over He's Bi to you, can He's Bi play its true role." Xu Ziling wondered: "Does that mean that your Mi Gong is sure that Shi Feixuan will not choose him as the winner of He's Bi, so he would rather He's Bi disappear forever?" Shen Luoyan smiled bitterly and said, "If I deny it, I'm lying to you. But forgive me for not revealing more about the situation." After a pause, he continued: "Don't underestimate Shi Feixuan, she may be the most outstanding martial arts master in the Central Plains martial arts after Ning Daoqi. Just look at her thunderous method of dealing with the lost treasure this time, and you will know the way she uses it Deeply in line with the purpose of swordsmanship, I will push you to a dead end in one fell swoop!" Xu Ziling cut her off and said coldly: "So if we really escape, wait for Ruo to admit that we stole He's Bi. Ha! Junshi Shen's plan is really good, no wonder he is willing to write off the past! Because in the future, there will be concubines Xuan and Ning Dodge has come to seek our misfortune, hasn't he?" Shen Luoyan took a step back as if hurt, her pretty face turned pale, and she said angrily with a livid face: "You are so disrespectful, since that's the case, you are responsible for all the consequences! It's up to you to do it yourself .” He stomped his feet fiercely, turned around and left. Xu Ziling stood still, and after a while, he smiled slightly and said, "Since my friend is here, why don't you show up and see him?" A cold snort came from both ends of the alley at the same time, and then the "Changbai Twins" Fu Zhen and Fu Yan jumped off the wall respectively. The former is carrying a long axe made of fine steel, but the ax is equipped with a sharp cone, which is equally flexible for chopping and stabbing; Knowing is to take a dangerous and strange path. Xu Ziling knew that he had fallen into the trap carefully set by Shen Luoyan, and the other party must do his best this time, so that he would either be killed or captured.But he was unafraid, took a breath of true anger, and preempted the attack. Dong Shuni dragged Kou Zhong to avoid a group of guards, and said coquettishly at the side of the road: "What are you doing, I didn't see you all day yesterday, you look like a heartless man who left away after a full meal." Kou Zhong saw more than a dozen guards in front of Shangshu's mansion all peeping with open eyes, and said awkwardly, "Can you speak in a low voice?" Dong Shuni showed a charming smile, nodded innocently and said: "As long as you are willing to accompany me, I will naturally listen to you!" She is wearing a tight-fitting white dress with a red edge today, which fully reveals her beautiful curves. She should be taller or smaller, full of youthful and fiery alluring charm, but Kou Zhong is in the mood to appreciate it. Surprised: "Didn't you say you don't like me anymore? Why did you suddenly change your mind?" Dong Shuni pulled his sleeves, followed him along the avenue of the imperial city towards the south gate of the imperial city, and said happily like a little girl: "Because after thinking about it, you are the best person among the people I know, And he won't be pestering others like a disgusting fly collecting honey, not to mention Master Shang Shu has no intention of agreeing to you, and even asks him not to associate with you." Kou Zhong cursed secretly in his heart, Wang Shichong was indeed uneasy and kind. The matter of Pirates and Choi is probably a trap.It's just that he didn't expect that he could really succeed, and now he has to try to push things away. Dong Shuni leaned close to his ear and said softly: "I want you to accompany me to a banquet tonight, and then we will discuss the plan of elopement." Kou Zhong lost his voice: "What did you say?"
