Chapter 184 Chapter 5 Wind Tiger Cloud Dragon

The residents of Tianjie Street were frightened by the fighting just now, and all the doors and windows of every house, big and small shops were closed, but the Manqing Courtyard was brightly lit, illuminating the surrounding area as bright as day. There was still a quarter of an hour until Zishi, and most of the people who attended the meeting had already arrived at Tingliu Pavilion, and there was no one on the street, and even the guards on patrol did not know where to hide. Due to the struggle between Yang Tong, the Dugu Clan and Wang Shichong, the governance of Luoyang City was in a vacuum, but the law and order was better than usual, because the local gangs tried their best to restrain their subordinates and did not dare to cause trouble under such circumstances.

And outsiders don't want to make troubles, lest they become the target of public criticism. The three of them walked along the street, towards the Manqing Courtyard. Kou Zhong suddenly sighed. Ba Fenghan wondered: "Even in the bad situation just now, you can escape without damaging even a single hair, why do you still have to sigh?" Kou Zhong put his hand on Ba Fenghan's shoulder, and said sincerely: "I think your brother will leave soon, so I feel very reluctant!" The tough lines on Ba Fenghan's face seemed to have melted a little, he glanced at Xu Ziling who was walking silently on the other side, and said with a smile: "This is called a feast that never ends. My brother, this trip is already worthwhile. What's more, in terms of martial arts cultivation, I have encountered a world-class adventure and made breakthroughs that even I have never dreamed of. What else can I ask for in this life?"

Xu Ziling said calmly: "When is Brother Fenghan planning to move?" Ba Fenghan said in a deep voice: "Get rid of Qu Ao, and I will leave immediately, maybe tonight." Both Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were stunned. The former frowned and said, "Why do you seem to be so rude to Qu Ao?" Ba Fenghan's eyes flashed with deep cold murderous intent, and he said coldly: "This is the oath I made when I was seriously injured by Qu Ao and threw myself into the water to escape. Whoever wants my life, Ba must be rewarded .” Then he smiled slightly and said, "There is another reason why you and I hit each other so well is because of the similar encounters."

Kou Zhong stared at the empty and lonely long street, and said in astonishment: "What happened?" Ba Fenghan said happily: "That is to say, our martial arts are all obtained by being chased and chased by others, and there is not a day when we are not living on the run. Since you obtained the "Secret of Longevity", don't you also have the same experience?" Xu Ziling suddenly said: "How sure are you of killing Qu Ao?" Ba Fenghan said: "Originally there was no half chance, but now I am fully sure." Kou Zhong moved away the hand on his shoulder, and said in surprise, "Why is there such an extreme change?"

Ba Fenghan replied calmly: "Because there is still a big flaw in his spiritual cultivation, and he will have emotional fluctuations. I have already made him lose confidence in defeating me in the battle at Tianjin Bridge just now, so if I fight tonight If he can expand his flaw, he will definitely win." Finally, he added: "If I can kill Qu Ao, then even if I don't go to Bi Xuan, he will come to me in person. Opponents are hard to find, and it's too late for Bi Xuan to protect me!" The two suddenly realized. Kou Zhongdao: "I wonder if Old Man Qu and Boy Fu have fought against each other?"

At this time, the gate of Manqing Courtyard was five zhang away, and the big men who guarded the gate stretched their necks to see the three belated guests. Ba Fenghan said: "I'm afraid he will miss the appointment." Before the three of them entered the door, more than a dozen big men who guarded the door came out earlier, shouting respectfully and yelling, it was a world of difference from the cold reception last time. Ba Fenghan asked: "Has Qu Ao come?" Someone replied: "Uncle Qu sent someone to inform you just now that he will arrive at an ugly time."

The three of them exchanged glances and smiled knowingly. Kou Zhong frowned and asked, "Is the Manqing Academy still under the management of the Luoyang Gang?" Another person replied: "Of course it belongs to the business of our Luoyang gang. The three uncles exposed Shangguan Long's identity as a traitor to us. The whole gang is deeply grateful to the three of you!" Kou Zhong secretly thought it would be like this again, and asked casually: "Then who is in charge of the Luoyang Gang now?" The man earlier said solemnly: "In order to prevent the gang from falling apart, the deputy gang leader and the hall leaders of each hall invited the big boss Rong Fengxiang to be our gang leader. If there is a word from him, who would dare not accept it."

The three of them thought to themselves that it was such a coincidence, which also shows that Rong Fengxiang is an important figure in Luoyang. After asking the question, the three of them hugged each other and walked towards Tingliu Pavilion. Tingliu Pavilion was more lively than the night before, and there were no empty seats. Fortunately, for some reason, Rong Fengxiang personally ordered to reserve the wing room on the top floor of the North Wing for them last time, so they didn't have to squeeze together with other people. After the beautiful servants served the food and wine, a beautiful girl named Cui'er, who seemed to be the leader of the servants, smiled and said to the three of them, "Boss Rong specially ordered to take good care of the three of us. The three flowers in our Manqing Court: lotus Er, Ju'er and Ping'er saw the three show off their supernatural power that night, and they all admired them, do you want them to come and sing two ditties for the uncle?"

Kou Zhongqi said: "There are so many distinguished guests tonight, how can they be separated?" Cui Er cast him a winking look and said: "It's useless for others to beg me, but the three uncles are different! No matter how difficult Cui Er is, she will make arrangements for you. Now there is more than half an hour away from the ugly fashion, and they will help you." Uncle sent Xing, I guarantee that time will pass like a fleeting moment." Ba Fenghan casually stuffed half an ingot of yellow and clear gold into Cui'er's hand, and said nonchalantly: "Is it another 'Zhi Shi Lang' Wang Bo's treat this time? It seems that this sum is quite a lot?"

Cui'er got the gold, she was even more smiling, half of her body was on Ba Fenghan's body, and she said in a friendly voice: "This time, it's Boss Rong's treat, he's a double blessing! He's on the throne of the gang leader, and it's also a big birthday In the future, the wealth will be abundant in the future, how can I care about a little expense? Alright! Everything is covered by the servant, so I will go and invite Sanduohua here, okay?" Xu Ziling frowned and said, "We still have important matters to discuss, how about..." Tweety went on to say: "Then my family will arrange for them to come later!"

With a charming smile, she flew away like a butterfly. Kou Zhong smiled and said to Ba Fenghan: "You spend a lot of money, as if you have a bag full of gold." Ba Fenghan said indifferently: "In the past few years, I have indeed made some money. In troubled times, everyone is vying to mint coins to make money, but only gold is the most reliable. It is used outside the Central Plains. I will use it for you when I leave. !" "Duk! Tuk!" Although Kou Zhong didn't hear the sound of footsteps, he already felt someone was outside the door, and asked in a low voice, "Who?" Xing Mofei's familiar voice sounded outside the door and said: "By the prince's order, I invite the three of you to go downstairs to the main hall to have a glass of water and wine." The three of them had a good impression of this man, and wanted to see what he looked like, Kou Zhongzhu said: "Brother Xing, please come in!" Xing Mofei pushed the door open and entered after hearing the words, and bowed his hands in salute.The three of them immediately affirmed that this person was not one of the people beside Fu Qian last night, otherwise they would never have missed it. This master of Tuyuhun was in his mid-twenties, with a thin and slender figure, thick hair and thick eyebrows, and a calm demeanor.Wearing strong clothes and boots that are easy to ride and shoot, the whole person is as sharp as an off-string arrow, his eyes are full of energy, but it makes people feel that he is very emotional. Although he is not handsome, his facial features appear to be very characterful, and he belongs to the kind of person who is good-looking and tastes better the more he looks at him. The three stood up at the same time to return the salute. After sitting down, Ba Fenghan asked, "Who else is there in the hall below?" At this time, the sounds of boxing, playing, and stringing came from the direction of the terrace. Xing Mofei smiled and said, "Of course Wang Bo and Boss Rong are indispensable." Xu Ziling said in surprise: "Judging from Brother Xing's tone, it seems that even Wang Bo is not in his eyes." Xing Mofei said without hesitation: "In terms of whipping, it is difficult for anyone in China or abroad to be able to surpass him, but in terms of people, we can't just talk about martial arts, but also need to have a combination of character to convince people. True heroes like the three are ours. The person whom the Lord likes to associate with." The three of them looked at each other, because according to rumors: Isn't Wang Bo very close to Fu Qian? And if Wang Bo is a person who has lost morality, like a master of Fangwai like Liao Kong, how can he be regarded as a close friend? Kou Zhong questioned in surprise. Xing Mofei smiled and said: "It's better to leave this matter to my lord to answer in person when he has the opportunity. However, as long as you look at the three heroes today, such as Du Fuwei and Li Zitong, they all voted under Wang Bo's command, and later they all If you turn your back on you, you will know that this person has no room for others. Otherwise, his momentum will never be inferior to any rebels." Then he asked: "Will the three of you be surprised because Wang Bo didn't show up last night?" The three nodded in astonishment. Xing Mofei smiled and said: "The reason is very simple, because he wants to take this matter by himself to please Shi Feixuan, but she doesn't appreciate it. The three of you must be careful about this person, please forgive me for not revealing other things. .” Kou Zhong nodded and said: "Although Brother Xing is a new acquaintance, he is already a good friend. It is the first time we have heard this news, and it is very useful." Ba Fenghan said: "But what good does Wang Bo do to him? And didn't he publicly declare that he would no longer compete in the Central Plains?" Xing Mofei sighed: "An ambitious person is always unwilling to give up. Because of the respect my younger brother has for the three of you, I would like to reveal another piece of news for the three of you to know: Yu Wenhua has regrouped after returning to the north. With his Yuwen The deep foundation of the clan is in full swing, and it is ready to show its strength again, and Wang Bo is very likely to form an alliance with him, so he will make troubles in the matter of Heshibi." The three suddenly realized. Xing Mofei smiled wryly and said: "Judging by the expressions of the three of you, none of them will go down to see my lord." The four of you looked at each other and laughed loudly, full of pride in knowing each other. After laughing, Xu Ziling asked: "Please forgive me for asking the previous question, why is Prince Fu coming this time?" Xing Mofei lowered his voice and said: "My lord came to the Central Plains this time for two main purposes, one is to see what outstanding people there are in the Central Plains, and the other is to find someone to settle accounts." Kou Zhong's eyes shot a sharp light, and he said: "The first purpose is too broad to be understood, but Brother Xing is unwilling to explain it, so don't ask! As for who is he looking for? Who's face? How big is it?" Xing Mofei said happily: "It's really interesting to talk to you, it saves a lot of nonsense, and the person I'm looking for is Pei Ju." Kou Zhong was stunned and said, "Who is Pei Ju, how come I have never heard of his name?" Ba Fenghan said: "Young Master Zhong, you have made a fool of yourself this time! The name of Pei Ju is unknown among us, it can be said that his notoriety has spread far and wide, why not." Xing Mofei said coldly: "Pei Ju is a minister of Yang Guang. He is in charge of the commercial affairs in the border area between the Western Regions and the old Sui Dynasty. He has written three volumes of "Illustrations of the Western Regions", which describes the general situation of the forty-four countries in the Western Regions. At the end of the preface, there is also:' Therefore, the emperor Hua sent envoys, but they did not move their military vehicles. After all the Fans followed, Hun and Jue could be wiped out. Mixed with Rong Xia, it is here! There is no record, and there is no way to show how far away it is. It is "Hun , Jue can be destroyed' these words made us vomit blood into rivers, corpses littered the fields, if we don't avenge this revenge, how can we be worthy of our dead clansmen." Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were speechless.At the same time, thinking of Fuqian's trip to the Central Plains, Ying and Tuli have the same mentality, more or less have the idea of ​​revenge. There will be more things in the Central Plains. Ba Fenghan said nonchalantly: "Is Pei Ju not dead yet? This person used scheming to divide us so tired that our Western Turks split into two and fought endlessly. And Pei Ju secretly promised Tie Le to send troops when we were unable to look outside. To attack Tuyuhun, this plan is indeed extremely vicious, you can kill people with a sword, but you don't need to lose half of your soldiers." Xing Mofei showed a look of grief and indignation, and said fiercely: "After my emperor Fuyun was defeated by Tie Le's surprise attack, he still didn't know that Pei thief, whom he regarded as his friend, secretly instigated him, and even sent someone to ask for help from Pei thief, but was He sent two groups of soldiers and horses to pursue them, and they made trouble, after repeated battles, our emperor only had thousands of remnant cavalry to escape from the encirclement, this enmity, no one in Tuyuhun can forget." Only now did Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling understand the grievances between Tie Le, Pei Ju, and Tuyuhun. No wonder Fu Qian went south to the Central Plains, so he wanted to find Tie Le's top master, Qu Ao, for a life-and-death battle. Ba Fenghan said casually again: "Oh! Bamou almost forgot that Qu Ao is mine tonight. I fought him just now. You probably don't know about it!" Xing Mofei sighed: "It's not my turn to decide this matter. If Qu Ao knows that he is so popular, he may regret this trip." Then he stood up, clasped his fists and said: "Little brother has his life in his body, it is not suitable to stay for a long time, I will tell my lord the truth about my brother's respect, as for how to decide, it is up to my lord to decide." After Xing Mo flew away, Kou Zhong smiled and said, "Why don't we wait outside the door and intercept Qu Ao and kill him first, wouldn't it be a one-and-done one?" Ba Fenghan nodded and said, "That's exactly what I mean. But it's not as enjoyable as having hundreds of people cheering and cheering." Kou Zhong stood up and said: "Almost forgot Song Jingang's promise, I will return before I am ugly, remember to wait until I come before acting, otherwise I will not let you go." Xu Ziling scolded with a smile: "Time is running out, so hurry up and get out." Kou Zhong said triumphantly: "When the girl comes later, remember to save the extra for me. This is called sharing blessings." While speaking, he opened the door, and then stared out of the door dumbfounded. Both Ba Fenghan and Xu Ziling gave warning signs and looked towards the entrance, but they were blocked by Kou Zhong's burly body. They only saw a wrinkled plain yellow skirt with a pair of shoes exposed at the bottom of the skirt. Light green embroidered shoes with a phoenix ornament on the head. Just seeing that this woman can come outside the door without arousing the alarm of the three people, one can tell that she is not an idle person. Kou Zhong's eyes lit up. The woman who suddenly appeared outside the door was about twenty-three or four years old. She was not like Shang Xiuxun or Shen Luoyan, who made people think she was beautiful at a glance, but she had a unique charm and temperament, which attracted you Fascinated. Her demeanor is calm and sophisticated, demure and dignified; but her focused and firm eyes make people feel that she is not only beautiful and charming, but also has the decisiveness and boldness to prevent men from being afraid, fearless, full of confidence in herself, and seems to be confident in what she has done. The correctness of everything will be convinced. Glossy black hair, white and delicate skin, slender and well-proportioned figure, deep and slender phoenix eyes under the beautiful and curved eyebrows, combined with the faint natural fragrance from the body, constitute a charming picture of beauty. But what caught Kou Zhong's attention the most was that her back was slanted, and a whisk that seemed to be made of red silk was exposed on her left shoulder, which made Kou Zhong immediately grasp her identity. It is indeed Li Shimin's Tiance Mansion's outstanding female master who is reputed to be the "top of the general list", and Li Jing's beautiful wife, Hong Funu.Her indifferent and sharp eyes were fixed on Kou Zhong's face, and she said indifferently without any emotion: "You are Kou Zhong?" Kou Zhong moved aside, allowing Xu Ziling and Ba Fenghan's sharp eyes to fall directly on her, and said in a low voice: "It's the little brother, should I call this girl Mrs. Li or sister-in-law?" The red-haired girl looked at Xu Ziling and Ba Fenghan fearlessly with her stern eyes, and when she heard Kou Zhong's words, she seemed to flash a mocking expression, and said coldly: "That depends on you I'm at my own place." The three of them were all stunned, and faintly felt that it was inappropriate, otherwise she would not have spoken in such an impolite tone. The red-haired girl's eyes finally fell on Xu Ziling, her phoenix eyes flashed with wisdom, and her tone turned soft: "The king of Qin wants to meet with the two of you, so he specially sent his concubine to invite you. This is a very important matter. Don't refuse, both of you." Ba Fenghan didn't look at her anymore, he raised his glass and drank it down. Kou Zhong showed a complex expression with a bit of anger on his face, and said coldly: "If it's about He Shibi, then it goes without saying." A pair of red-haired girl's beautiful eyes flashed sharply, she stared at Kou Zhong, and before she could speak, Ba Fenghan cut in and said, "Why don't you go and see what he has to say, this matter will have to be resolved in a certain way sooner or later of." Xu Ziling said calmly: "Young Master Zhong, let's go! Everything is up to you." Kou Zhong was silent for a while, and finally agreed. Hong Fu Nu pushed the door open, and whispered softly, "Go in! I hope that when you come out, you will still be Jing Lang's good brother, not an irreconcilable enemy." Kou Zhong glanced at her indifferently, then stepped into the door, and closed the door smoothly. This is the last wing room at the east end of the third floor of the north wing, almost twice as big as theirs. Li Shimin stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, staring at the fish pond in the garden below. Hearing Kou Zhong's voice, Li Shimin sighed, "Is there still room for things to turn around?" Kou Zhong came to the round table in the middle, stared at his majestic back, and said in a deep voice, "Brother Shimin is referring to that?" Li Shimin turned around slowly, looked deeply at Kou Zhong and said, "How many years have we not met? Zhong Shao, you have become more powerful than I imagined. No matter how you act, you have the demeanor of a generation of masters. No wonder you are full of enemies. , still no one can understand you in the slightest, but they will be teased by you." Kou Zhong smiled and said: "Compared to His Royal Highness King Qin, a small Kou Zhong is nothing. The King of Qin raised troops from Taiyuan and defeated the old generals Song Laosheng and Qu Tutong one after another. You can have a strong base that you can attack and retreat. Then you march west to Longyou to consolidate Guanzhong, and drive the army of Xue Ju and his son back to their old nest. Now who dares to underestimate your Li family, who has such achievements can." Li Shimin said: "My Li family has been a general for many times and has a deep foundation. As long as the teacher is famous and the strategy is correct, victory is a matter of course. How can you be alone like Zhong Shao, but you can turn your hands into clouds, turn your hands into rain, and change everything. The situation in the world. Ha! It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you, how about sitting down and having a glass of wine?” Kou Zhong sat down without hesitation. Li Shimin raised the jug, poured wine for him, and said with a smile: "I'm still happy that you called me Shimin, our friendship is not just a casual acquaintance. If it weren't for the help of your brothers back then, my Li family might not be what it is today Scenery." Then he sat down and toasted with both hands: "This cup is for Xie Zhongshao to help Xie Zhongshao at the Pegasus Ranch, so that Xiuxun will not fall into Li Tianfan and Shen Luoyan's schemes." Hot and heart attacking. Kou Zhong squeezed his throat and shouted: "Good wine! Isn't it poisonous?"
