Chapter 225 Chapter Ten Entanglement

After sending Xuxing ashore, the two continued their journey. They breathed a sigh of relief when the sail turned into the Yellow River. On this vast river, it was much easier to escape or hide. Kou Zhong sighed: "When we set out from the south, it seemed like the whole world was under our feet. Unexpectedly, there were many twists and turns. Zhifu and the other three suffered misfortune, and Yucheng disappeared. Now we are even more compelled by the situation to turn back to the south. , Passing through the gate and not entering, thinking about it will make people feel lost." Xu Ziling said: "We must avenge the revenge of Zhifu and the three of them. There is a clear distinction between grievances and grievances. The methods of the Yin Gui Sect are so cruel and hateful. One day we will uproot them so that they can never harm anyone again."

Kou Zhong's eyes were full of murderous intent, he nodded and said: "Except for Yu Wenhuaji, the one who hates us the most now is the Yingui faction, the blood debt must be paid in blood, not to mention that even if we are willing to swallow our anger, Yaoyao and Yaoyao Zhu will never let go us." Xu Ziling said: "This is also the reason why I am willing to accompany you to Jiangdu, otherwise I will rush to Baling immediately to pick up Sister Su's mother and son. I still don't understand why my father is willing to seek skin with the tiger and cooperate with the Yingui faction to conquer the world. There must be some reason for it that we don't know yet."

Kou Zhongdao: "What the hell! Tomorrow, after we enter the Tongji Canal, we will go to Jiangdu day and night. But we need to replenish dry food and water, because it will take at least another three days and three nights to reach Jiangdu." Xu Ziling pondered: "I always have some ominous premonition that this journey may not be so smooth." Kou Zhong patted Jing Zhongyue on the back and said: "One day we will be safe and sound? Anyone who is not afraid of death, let him come here! Ha! After learning, I will not know enough. I will also use Uncle Lu's treasure book to do some hard work. .”

Xu Ziling grabbed Kou Zhong with a wry smile and said, "It's time for me to study hard this trip, and I'll leave it to you to handle the boat." The two finally had a peaceful night. At noon the next day, the boat arrived at Liangdu, Dacheng, which is located in the west of Pengcheng, beside the Tongji Canal. They have not yet decided who will be responsible for guarding the boat and who will go to buy food. The local underworld figures have already arrived. Both Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling came from underworld gangsters, so they planned to follow the rules of the rivers and lakes to pay the road money in order to avoid unnecessary troubles.

Kou Zhongjie went down to Jing Zhongyue and went to the pier to negotiate with the visitor. The leader of the gangsters saw that Kou Zhong was as mighty as a god, and he looked calm and composed. He was also an old man, so he clasped his fists in salute and said, "Little brother Pengliang Huizhitang Xiangzhu Chen Jiafeng, may I ask this good man's name? What township and county?" Kou Zhongdeng remembered Ren Meimei, the third head of the Pengliang Society "Beautiful Lady", and then realized that this area is the sphere of influence of the Pengliang Society, but of course he didn't want to let Ren Meimei know his whereabouts, so he hurriedly said: "Little brother Fu Ren, just now After finishing the business in Dongdu, hurry back to Jiangdu now. Ha! Of course there are rules for berths at the berths, please tell me how much taels I should pay to the Guild, Lord Chen Xiang."

Seeing how humble he was, Chen Jiafeng immediately became proud and smiled, "Looking at Brother Fu's high spirits, he must have scooped up enough oil and water. Brother Fu's ship is also the best type of cargo. The strangest thing is that Brother Fu seems to have only one ship." The man is on board." Of course Kou Zhong understood the trick he wanted. Underworld characters will follow the golden rule of "be polite first and then fight" when they meet strangers. In short, they first find out the opponent's background before deciding how to slaughter them in order to seek the greatest benefit.

If he doesn't show any tricks, the opponent will take an inch and even confiscate the boat. Along with Chen Jiafeng, there were seven or eight armed men. Just by their expressions, one could tell they were local bullies and hooligans. Kou Zhong scratched his head and said: "Brother Chen is right. Since my younger brother dared to drive a high-priced boat with my brother to travel north and south, of course he has some confidence. But it is because we are all in the same boat, and we also respect ghosts." Claw'Nie respects his old man, and he has a little friendship with Ren Meimei, the third head of your family, 'Yan Mistress', so he acts according to the rules, brother Chen should understand what younger brother means!"

Chen Jiafeng asked in amazement: "Which line is Brother Fu's friend?" Kou Zhong angrily took out half an ingot of gold, stuffed it into his hand and said: "A real person doesn't show his face, and his face is not a real person, if Brother Chen is willing to sell his friendship, then don't ask the bottom line, just pretend you haven't met this little brother." Ignore him and turn back to the boat. Xu Ziling was pulling the sail alone, Kou Zhong said as he helped, "Peng Lianghui seems to have controlled this waterway, but where do they belong now?"

Xu Ziling suddenly said: "It turns out that it is Ren Meimei's subordinate. It is planned to go to Xu Yuanlang, or Li Zitong. Hey! Could it be Yu Wenhuaji?" After setting up the sail, Kou Zhong said: "I'm in charge of going into the city to purchase, you don't want people to snatch the boat away." Xu Ziling said with a smile: "If it's Zhu Yuyan, Wan Wan and others who come here, don't blame me." Kou Zhong laughed and left. Xu Ziling had nothing to do, leaning on the railing to watch. The traffic in the Tongji Canal is surprisingly sparse, especially in the water section towards Jiangdu, where only a few fishing boats come and go. I don’t know if it was affected by the war, passenger and cargo ships dare not go there.

The pier is only a thousand steps away from the city gate, and there are thirty or forty ships of all sizes moored. Compared with the prosperity of any pier in Dongdu, it is nothing compared to the prosperity of any pier in Dongdu. There are a few food shops and tea stalls on the road leading to the city gate, only a few passers-by patronize, a bit deserted. Chen Jiafeng and his gang have disappeared, and logically, if they don't know the background of the two of them, they will never take action easily. At this moment, he suddenly felt something strange, turned around to look, and happened to see the back of an infinitely beautiful beauty entering the cabin door.

With Xu Ziling's composure, he broke out in a cold sweat immediately. Kou Zhong stepped into the gate of the city, but he still didn't know who controlled the city. In other cities, unless they are in an emergency period of offensive and defensive wars, they are willing to allow business travelers to enter and exit, which can not only collect tariffs, but also maintain trade. But this important town in this section of Tongji Canal looks like an undefended city, not only does it not have the proper flag to show its sovereignty, but even half of the guards guarding the gate are missing.This situation is very rare even in this war-torn era. Kou Zhong entered the city in a daze. The main street in the city is a cross-shaped stone building street that runs through four gates, and the alleys form a square grid leading to the street. Shi Jiukong, most of the shops are closed, it seems that a catastrophe is coming, and some of the shops have been looted. There are only scattered pedestrians on the road, all passing by in a hurry, like a dead city. Footsteps come from behind. Kou Zhong stopped and stood in the middle of the street. Chen Jiafeng came to his side, sighed and said: "War is really harmful, a prosperous city has become like this." Kou Zhong felt the same way and asked, "What happened?" Chen Jiafeng said in a deep voice: "It's hard to describe in words. If you had come a few days earlier, you would have seen the terrifying scene of tens of millions of people crowding the roads, crying and screaming, and running for their lives in all directions." Kou Zhong was puzzled and said, "Who owns this city? And who is going to attack it?" Chen Jiafeng replied: "This city has gone through several hands, and the last one was Xu Yuanlang, but the good times are not always good. Recently, because Dou Jiande sent troops across the river to attack Xu Yuanlang's base city, Xu Yuanlang hastily mobilized the Liangdu army To aid, Liangdu's defenses were weak, and in the end even the hundreds of defenders slipped away, making Liangdu a city that no one cares about." Kou Zhong was stunned and said, "Is Dou Jiande that scary?" Chen Jiafeng said: "Of course Dou Jiande is not terrible. In terms of reputation, he is much better than Xu Yuanlang, but Yu Wenhuaji's dog-legged bandits are more terrifying than Yan Huang's ghosts." Kou Zhong's eyes lit up immediately. Chen Jiafeng continued: "That day when Yu Wenhua and his troops returned from Jiangdu to the north, they robbed them wherever they went, mutilated the people and raped women, so when the news spread, everyone rushed to hide in the nearby countryside. Alas! These days It's not easy to go, there are wars everywhere." Kou Zhong said in a deep voice, "Will Yu Wenhuaji come in person?" Chen Jiafeng said: "No one knows about this. We are monks hitting the clock for a day. If the situation is not right, we will escape. If Brother Fu doesn't mind, can you send us to Jiangdu in a righteous way?" Kou Zhong was stunned and said, "Isn't it easy for you to go to Jiangdu?" After Chen Jiafeng looked at him for a long time, his face sank and he said: "It turns out that you are not familiar with the situation in Jiangdu at all, and you don't know that Li Zitong has re-established a gate in the river canal. Unless it is a ship related to them, other ships are not allowed. Sail to Jiangdu, otherwise, why should I beg you." Kou Zhong smiled and said: "I really don't know about Jiangdu's situation, it's because I haven't been back for a long time, but it has nothing to do with Li Zitong, brother Chen can rest assured." Chen Jiafeng asked dubiously, "What's the relationship between Brother Fu and Li Zitong?" Kou Zhong didn't answer and asked instead: "Your Pengliang Society can be listed as one of the Eight Clans and Ten Clans. Could it be a fuel-efficient lamp? Why don't you take the opportunity to take over Liang? ?” Chen Jiafeng sighed: "If I didn't realize that Brother Fu is not an ordinary person, I wouldn't bother to talk to you so much. Today is different from the past. Back then when the Emperor Hun was killed, we were under the leadership of Gang Leader Nie. We took down Pengcheng and The more than 40 villages and towns near Liangdu originally thought they could dominate the territory and achieve great things. Unexpectedly, they were defeated by Yu Wenhua and Xu Yuanlang successively. Recently, even Pengcheng was captured by barbarians. Our Pengliang Society has already existed in name only , I don’t even know where the leader is.” Kou Zhong was stunned and said, "What kind of barbarian?" Xu Ziling swept into the cabin door, moved between the four small doors in the cabin, took a deep breath, and then pushed open the door on the left next to the cabin door. Under the sunlight coming in from the cabin window, the breathlessly beautiful Houhou was sitting on the chair by the window, looking down at her pair of flawless white feet without any dust, her expression seemed a little bit Seems shy, but it seems to be just her usual determination. She didn't look at Xu Ziling immediately, but said: "You and I must come to a thorough settlement, right?" Her tone of voice was not only as gentle as whispering on the pillow, but also as slow as placing each word gently in the space, which gave off a very peaceful feeling. Xu Ziling leaned against the door frame coolly, and said angrily: "Do it now! Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Hou Hou finally raised his head to look at him, gently shaking his belly-length, black hair that is so dark and impenetrable.Zhe has a face as white as jade with green brows and beautiful eyes that sparkle with longing. Even with Xu Ziling's indifference to beauty, one has to admit that she is extremely attractive. She whispered softly, "Why don't you ask Houhou, why did you catch up with you here and now?" Xu Ziling shrugged and said, "What's so strange about that? Pichen can't break us, so we have to do it, right?" Wan Hou Yizheng said: "We always underestimated you two. Fortunately, we will not make this mistake again in the future." Xu Ziling frowned and said, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll go find Kou Zhong!" Wan Houxiu frowned displeasedly and said: "Don't rush people! I'm trying to find a reason for myself not to kill you." Xu Ziling laughed dumbly and said, "Why are you so troubled. I'm getting impatient, and I want to see if you really have such a means, just let the horse come over!" Suddenly his expression changed, he smashed through the cabin roof and came to the sky above the ship. The ropes to which the boat was tied had been snapped, and the boat was moving away from the shore and flowing down the current. Houhou's Heavenly Demon Strength is attacking from under his feet. Chen Jiafeng said angrily: "The barbarians are those damned Khitans. They took advantage of the war in the Central Plains and took advantage of the opportunity to collude with the scum of our Han people and form the East Sea Alliance to plunder the towns along the coast. They robbed rich women and shipped them back to Pinglu." Kou Zhong was stunned and said, "Are the Khitan people so powerful? Where is Pinglu?" Chen Jiafeng said: "Their riding and shooting skills are all very good. The current leader of the Eastern Sea League is called Brother Ku, the eldest son of the Qiqimo Club. He is good at using double axes and has strong martial arts skills. Our second leader also died under his hands. As for Ping I don’t know exactly where the hu is, but it seems to be near Goryeo, and it’s the territory of the Khitan people.” Xuan sighed again: "Although they are not many in number, they come and go like the wind, and they can escape to the sea in an instant. So far, no one has done anything to catch them." Footsteps sounded suddenly. The two followed the sound and saw one of Chen Jiafeng's subordinates rushing over angrily, "It's not good! Someone hijacked the ship!" Xu Ziling knew very well that if he couldn't escape first and was entangled by Houhou, it would be a situation of death but no life. If he guessed right, the Yin Gui sect made up their minds to get rid of them because they had no value to use anymore, and they were afraid that they would go back to the south and ruin Du Fuwei's good deeds. But killing them is no longer as easy as before, especially when the two are combined, they can always exert a greater power than the sum of the two.Therefore, I have been following here.Waiting for the good opportunity for the two to separate, they took action against Xu Ziling. The long-lost Bianbu also slanted up from the direction of the cabin door, and rushed towards him, obviously miscalculating the direction in which he left the cabin, and instead of leaving the cabin door, he took the way to break through the cabin roof , Waiting for Ruo to seize his own life back from Yan Huang's hands.Otherwise, if you are flanked by Shanghouhou and Bianbushi in the corridor, you will still die. Xu Ziling took a breath of true energy when his strength reached his body, and he gave birth to new energy, so he flipped in the air and flew to the top of the sail, he laughed and said: "Excuse me!" As Hou Hou changed direction and chased after him, Xu Ziling soared into the sky like a big bird, crossed nearly ten feet above the river, and threw himself onto the bank. Hou Hou's true energy was exhausted, so he had no choice but to fall to the top of the pole, watching him escape with a pale face. At this time Kou Zhong rushed over from the city gate like a shooting star, and shouted: "If you have the guts, go ashore and fight me, Kou Zhong, for 300 rounds, and I will cut you into two or three pieces." The sailboat set sail straight down. Bianbu sneered and said, "Let the two of you live for a few more days!" Wan Wan suddenly showed a sweet smile again. The two sat down on the shore slumped. Kou Zhong smiled wryly and said, "Unexpectedly, it was a prophecy. The treasure ship was snatched away, but I have no right to blame you, because I can't even find food and grass to come back." At this moment, Chen Jiafeng arrived with a group of big men, and everyone showed admiration and respect on their faces. Kou Zhong glanced at them angrily, and said, "The boat is lost! Find a way to go to Jiangdu by yourself!" Chen Jiafeng said embarrassingly: "We really don't know Taishan, but we don't know that the two are the world-renowned Master Kou and Master Xu." Xu Ziling sighed: "What's so famous? The boats are gone." Chen Jiafeng asked in a low voice: "Are those two witches and sorcerers of the Yingui Sect just now?" Kou Zhong nodded yes. Chen Jiafeng showed a look of admiration, and said, "There are only two uncles in the world who are not afraid of them." Xu Ziling laughed and said: "It's only good for praisers to have a sense of proportion, at least the people of Cihang Jingzhai are not afraid of the Yingui faction, not only us." A man behind Chen Jiafeng gave a thumbs up and said, "Master Xu is the real hero, he is neither arrogant nor boastful." Kou Zhongdao: "Nothing you say can cure my empty stomach. Is there any way to get some wine and food, and after eating, everyone will go their separate ways." Chen Jiafeng said happily: "It's just a matter of raising your hands, please, two gentlemen!" How can the two be polite, let them go back to the city.
