Chapter 245 Chapter 5 Exploring the Capsule

Suddenly Kou Zhong was startled and restless, after sending Chen Changlin on the road, he returned to the mansion named "Young Marshal's Mansion", summoned Luo Qifei and asked, "Is there any news about Master Xu?" Luo Qifei saw that his expression was different, shook his head and said: "Where did Master Xu go? You can send someone to inquire." Kou Zhong stood up and paced back and forth in the study, he stopped for a while and sighed: "He is going to Baling, do you know the situation of that kid Xiao Xian?" Luo Qifei replied: "At present, in the Dajiang area, besides Du Fuwei and Fu Gongyou, he must be counted in terms of strength. After proclaiming himself emperor, Xiao Xian captured Yulin, Cangwu, Panyu and other places successively, and continued to recruit troops, and the number of troops increased. There are more than 400,000 people, occupying the south, and no one in the land of the two lakes dares to seize the front."

Seeing that he frowned and said nothing, he couldn't help but asked heartily, "Is the young commander worried about Master Xu?" Kou Zhong said distractedly: "I don't know what I'm worried about, maybe it's Master Xu, or something else. Sigh! What's new in the north?" Luo Qifei replied like a few treasures: "The most eye-catching thing now is of course the battle between Dou Jiande and Xu Yuanlang. The news I just received is that Xu Yuanlang's main force lost to Liu Heitai and lost countless troops. It seems that the time is right. Days are running out, if Dou Jiande takes all of Xu Yuanlang's territory, and the coalition forces of Du Fuwei and Shen Faxing capture Jiangdu again, we will fall into a difficult situation of being attacked on both sides."

Kou Zhong closed his tiger eyes, collected his mind, and after a while he wrote lightly: "Call me Xuan Yong and Jiao Hong immediately, I will capture the East China Sea within ten days, otherwise our Young Commander will have to disband." When the fishing boat was moored, Chen Laomou and more than a dozen elite members of the Jukun gang rushed out from the hidden woods, and they were shocked to find Xu Ziling holding Susu's body. Xu Ziling seemed completely numb, and asked Chen Laomou expressionlessly: "Is there any way to save Sister Su's body and send it to Liangdu before it becomes corrupt?"

After Bu Tianzhi took Xiao Lingzhong who had just woken up, he handed it over to the nurse and maid who were going to serve Susu's mother and child along the way, he was speechless. Chen Laomou stretched out his hand and grabbed Xu Ziling's shoulder, and said compassionately: "Xiaoling wants to mourn and change, this matter can be covered by me, even if it takes a year or so, there will be no problem. I will immediately send people to buy the necessary medicines and spices. Then leave." Xu Ziling personally placed Susu's body on the carriage, and then walked aside with Bu Tianzhi and Chen Laomou and said: "After you settle the matter of Miss Su here, don't wait for me, and immediately rush to Liangdu according to the original plan. I can't die, I will catch up with you."

Chen Laomou and Bu Tianzhi are veterans, they only listened to his tone, if persuasion was useless, they had no choice but to agree. Xu Ziling resisted the desire to see Xiao Lingzhong, returned to the fishing boat, and disappeared in a flash. Jiao Hongjin said: "Now the cities of Huairen, Langya, Liangcheng, Lanling, and Muyang near the East China Sea have all surrendered to us, and the land traffic in the East China Sea has been completely cut off. If they were to change to other cities, they would have given up their arms and surrendered long ago, but Donghai County It has always been dominated by sea traffic, so it has little impact in essence.”

Kou Zhong said to the frowning Xuan Yong, "How many soldiers do we have?" Xuan Yongsu said: "Assuming that we can win the battle quickly, we can have 8,000 troops, of which 2,000 are cavalry. It's just that although our morale is high, we are still not perfect in training and support, so Well! Hey!" Jiao Hongjin interjected: "Li Ziyun is brave, Tong Shuwen is scheming, and Donghai is Li Zitong's base. Over the past few years, we have continuously strengthened the city's defenses. With our strength, it is absolutely impossible to capture Donghai in a short time, and it will not be us in the long run." Affordable; the immediate priority should be to consolidate the gains and concentrate on recruiting and training new troops."

Kou Zhongdao: "The best training is the training on the battlefield. My kung fu is trained by fighting and killing like this. You can rest assured that I will never be so stupid as to attack the city. Our biggest shortcoming now is However, this is also our advantage. Li Ziyun is an arrogant person who loves to make great achievements, while Tong Shuwen is conceited of his wisdom. The combination of these two people is exactly the most ideal enemy. , As long as you handle it well, victory can be expected." Xuan Yong sighed: "Young commander-in-chief is always able to do what others cannot. Hearing the young commander-in-chief's analysis, although the truth is still unknown, it is already full of confidence."

Kou Zhongran said with a smile: "The key lies in Muyang's Li Xingyuan, if I'm not wrong, he should be a spy sent by Tong Shuwen, because logically he should take a wait-and-see attitude to see if we really have a future before coming here Return. You must know that Muyang and Donghai depend on each other. If Li Zitong can't trust him, how can he let him take control of Muyang? At least Li Xingyuan's relatives will stay in Donghai. If he betrays, Li Ziyun can kill half of his family If you don’t stay, there must be fraud in this matter.” Jiao Hongjin said in surprise, "I thought the young marshal had complete trust in Li Xingyuan, but it turned out that the young marshal had other plans in mind, but he couldn't see it at all on the surface."

Kou Zhong said indifferently: "His biggest flaw is that he came to see me in person. From Muyang to here, it takes at least three days to go back and forth? At this moment when the war is about to break out, how can he leave at will, and how can he tell Li Ziyun? Explain? Ha! How dare you treat me, Kou Zhong, as a fool." Luo Qifei was overjoyed and said, "Since that's the case, what should we do?" Kou Zhong smiled and said: "Of course it's a trick to lure the tiger out of the hole." But he couldn't restrain his beautiful and kind-hearted appearance in his heart.

Xu Ziling crouched in the dark behind the tiles, staring at the caravans that had just entered the city on the street below. Yunyu is really handsome and just came back, and now he is very likely to be taken to see Xiangyu Mountain, so he can find this ungrateful and despicable person. In the middle of the night, there is no one on the street, only the sound of wheels rubbing against the road, mixed with the sound of horseshoes rising and falling, embellishing the deep night of the Yangtze River city. Xu Ziling closed his eyes, focused all his attention on the sound of the two carriages rubbing the ground, and quickly distinguished that only the one at the rear was carrying people, and the other was empty. But he is a super expert.

The reason why he became suspicious was because he knew and understood Xiangyushan's personality, and it was all because of his scheming that he could win Susu's heart.It is absolutely unreasonable to find Xiangyu Mountain by following these clues so easily. Bu Tianzhi's betrayal should make Xiangyushan and Yunyu really know about the conspiracy.Now he and Kou Zhong are not the former Wu Xia Ameng, whoever has a deep enmity with them will have trouble sleeping, how can Xiangyu Mountain be an exception. However, he is also considered powerful, and he is sure that Xu Kou and the others will desperately come to him and ask him for someone.So he set up a net, and deliberately left Susu's mother and son as bait in the net, causing him to catch him suddenly.It's just a bad move, I didn't expect him to come here in disguise, and I saw through his despicable methods. If one plan fails, another plan will be born again. The new bait is Yun Yuzhen. Xu Ziling was almost certain that Yun Yuzhen's pretty maid, Yunzhi, was sitting in the car, and Yun Yuzhen didn't board the car at all. Escorted by dozens of Baling troops, the convoy gradually moved away. Xu Ziling took a deep breath and remained still. When the sound of hooves and wheels was barely audible, there was a sudden sound of wind from both sides, Xu Ziling was stunned, and looked intently, there were two more people in the middle of the street, moving like ghosts. The taller one is carrying a long sword on his back, with a straight waist, around thirty, with delicate features, dressed as a Confucian scholar, with a mustache, and a cold face. You don't need to meet and introduce him to know that this must be Brother Xie Feng, a master "Su Yi Confucian scholar" newly recruited by Xiao Xian. , with the sword technique of covering the moon with one hand, it shocked the south. The short one is holding a long stick. He should be "Cowherd" Zhu Zhong. He is a completely different type of person from Brother Xie Feng, with short stature, wide forehead and big ears, bulbous nose, thick eyebrows and dark skin. Feeling like a real farmer, after paying attention, he saw that he had sharp eyes and a domineering body, and he was not a person to be provoked. In an instant, Xu Ziling accurately grasped the weight of the two of them from the other's subtle movements. At this time "Cowherd" Zhu Zhong snorted coldly: "Master Yushan seems to have miscalculated this trip. I said earlier that that guy would not dare to come here to act wildly." Brother Xie Feng smiled and said, "As long as he hears that we wish the eldest brother to be here, won't he be able to escape so far with his tail between his legs?" Zhu Zhong smiled and said: "What's the use of flattering me, save some energy to serve Bao Rang who thinks he's invincible!" Brother Xie Feng disdainfully said: "He deserves it too? Let's go back!" Zhu Zhong nodded and said: "If you don't go back, why don't you continue to drink the northwest wind here? That kid makes us miserable. We haven't had a good night's sleep in the past two nights. Now we have to find a beautiful woman to warm the bed." Amid Lang's laughter, the two spread their footwork and walked away quickly. After Xuan Yong and Luo Qifei left, Jiao Hongjin stayed alone and accompanied Kou Zhong to the garden. When the young commander looked up at the starry night sky, Jiao Hongjin couldn't help asking: "So the young commander saw through Li Xingyuan's intentions from the very beginning. But at that time we really didn’t know a little bit, and thought that the young marshal was confiding in him, and we only needed to try him to fully trust him.” Kou Zhongmu said expressionlessly: "If you can't fool you, how can you fool him. Alas! This is just bragging. I believed him at least 90% at the time. This Li Xingyuan must be a top-notch liar. His words are sincere and his voice and appearance are perfect. .Damn it!" Only then did Jiao Hongjin realize that he overestimated him, and he said in astonishment, "Then why does the young commander suddenly feel that there is something wrong with him?" Kou Zhong smiled wryly and said, "I don't know why tonight, I always feel a little ominous, there must be something wrong somewhere. So I deliberated over the past two days one by one, and then realized that the problem was with this guy. If he fell into a trick, We will not be spared." Jiao Hongjin said in admiration: "The young commander is really extraordinary, so he has this supernatural power." Kou Zhong changed the subject and asked, "Is there another beauty like Qiuyue? Her singing voice is quite good." Jiao Hongjin said disdainfully: "Why do you meet a woman who can't share weal and woe?" Kou Zhong nodded and said: "Well said! A person who is greedy for beauty is not a person who builds a country. It's night! Go back to sleep! Tomorrow will be a very busy day. After capturing the East China Sea, Li Zitong's stronghold in the north will If everything falls into our hands, he will only listen to what we say at that time." Xu Ziling slanted down from under the eaves silently, and threw arrows at Brother Xie Feng and Zhu Zhongjin who were about to enter the mansion. Facing the direction Xu Ziling was rushing to, the several big men who opened the door were the first to notice, but Xu Ziling's speed was too fast. Before their faces showed horror, their mouths opened their mouths, and before their voice came out, Xu Ziling concealed his wishes to the two of them. About ten feet behind him, he launched an attack. Brother Xie Feng and Zhu Zhong's reactions were completely within Xu Ziling's expectations. Under the pressure of the strong wind, they fled left and right to gain space and time to fight back. Of course, the guards were the best fighters in Baling's army, and they drew out their weapons one after another, trying to stop them. Xu Ziling snorted coldly, and swayed to avoid the stabbing sword in the chest. "Ding"!The curved fingers are buckled at the other knife. The big man with the knife backed away like an electric shock, Xu Ziling rushed into the enemy's formation like a tiger jumping into a herd of sheep, and before another sword was about to cut his right shoulder, he kicked the enemy's lower abdomen, causing the man to fall into the distance. In an instant, he dodged left and right with his quick and erratic footwork, and all the seven men guarding the door were either punched or thrown by their feet, and fell to the ground with serious injuries. Even under the drive of hatred, he is still extremely measured in his strikes, the opponent can only be injured but not killed. The courtyard was in a daze, and the whole square was only illuminated by a huge lantern hanging on the steps of the main house in front of the gate. If Brother Xie Feng and Zhu Zhong hadn't led the way, it would be hard to guess that Xiangyu Mountain would hide in such a house. In the house of a middle-class family. Shouting again and again, more than ten people rushed out from the left and right sides of the house, and rushed towards him. This can be said to be the best time to kill Xiang Yushan, because the most powerful figure in the Baling Army is either guarding the trap that uses Yun Yuzhen as bait, or it should be protecting the more important figure Xiao Xian.As long as he can deal with the two masters Xie Zhu who are chasing the door from behind, he will have a chance to deal with Xiang Yushan. Xu Ziling let out a mournful cry, instead of advancing, he retreated, and in an instant he was inserted into the gap between Xie Fengge and Zhu Zhong. Xie Zhu and the two immediately lost their souls. When they regrouped and chased through the door, they had thought about several possibilities they would face, but they couldn't predict that he would improve and retreat.That's not because they are too stupid to think about it, but because they are overconfident in their own vision and judgment. Anyone who is rushing at a high speed, if he wants to go backwards in the opposite direction, he must go through three stages of breathing, deceleration, and stop. There are signs to be found, and then Xie Zhu can respond immediately.Unexpectedly, Xu Ziling's zhenqi originated from the "Secret of Longevity" and He's Bi is completely unreasonable, he can go along or against at will, and retreat as he wants. The reaction of the two of them was one-on-one and swift, and the Moon-Blanking Sword and Eyebrow Cudgel headed forward, hoping that with their joint strength, they could keep Xu Ziling out of the circle of swords and sticks, and then deploy the offensive. Xu Ziling's back seemed to have eyes, and he swayed forward by a slight margin, dodging Zhu Zhong's eyebrow-leveling stick. Zhu Zhong let out a miserable snort, and fell two steps sideways, revealing enough space for Xu Ziling to dodge the Moon-Helding Sword that pierced his back, and embed it in a blind spot a little later between the two of them. A seemingly simple and easy action, which actually contains extremely clever strategies, wise tactics and mysterious skills, also determines to understand the fate of Feng Ge and Zhu Zhong. "boom"! "Peng"! Before Brother Xie Feng dodged in amazement, Xu Ziling leaned towards him and hit his side hard with his left elbow. Brother Xie Feng threw the Moon Sword away from his hand, his ribs were broken, and the kite with the broken string was thrown sideways, and fell to the ground with serious injuries. Xu Ziling's other hand reached out with lightning, and grabbed Zhu Zhong, trying to save Brother Xie Feng, and hurriedly swept down a stick that was not strong enough. He twisted his body and stood up. When dragging Zhu Zhong off balance, his left foot rested on his cunt . When Zhu Zhong was caught on the stick by Xu Ziling's ingenious technique, he knew something bad was going on, and he was about to abandon the stick to escape, but Xu Ziling's spiral force grabbed him firmly like a magic hand that came with the stick, and he was terrified. When he died, Xiao Xian felt as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer, the meridians all over his body seemed to be split, blood spurted wildly and flew upside down from the ground lightly, and fell straight out of the hospital gate, unable to get up again. Xu Ziling secretly called it a fluke, only seeing that he shot with all his strength, the two of them were still only wounded and survived, so he knew how profound their skills were. Otherwise, if the fight continues, victory or defeat is still unknown. With a long howl, Xu Ziling charged forward again, killing more than 20 big men who were intercepting him. Although he was in a rage, Xu Ziling's mind naturally entered the realm of Jing Zhongyue when he fought, and he was advancing and retreating in the shadow of swords, lights and swords. No man's land. "boom"! "boom"! The two enemies threw their fists and threw them on the steps. At this time, he was at the bottom of the steps, and the four strong men who were guarding the steps outside the house rushed down, with swords, axes and spears, and four kinds of weapons. "boom"! Fireworks and rockets exploded in the night sky above the house, obviously Xiangyushan knew the situation was critical and sent a message for help. These four people are highly skilled, far superior to other guards, and they are proficient in the technique of combined strikes. If they are forced to reject the door, let alone they can't kill Xiangyu Mountain, they may even have problems escaping. Xu Ziling was very experienced in dealing with group battles, and with a loud shout, he soared into the sky. The four people's weapons pierced through the air, and they hadn't figured out where Xu Ziling was above. With a sound of "divination", the only lantern hanging at the gate was extinguished, and it changed from bright to dark. The four of them opened their eyes as if they were blind in an instant, and Xu Ziling had fallen. behind the four. There was a series of screams, and the four of them fell on the steps one after another. "boom"! The door is cracked, and the light shines through. Behind the gate were the eight guards with the strongest martial arts in Xiangyu Mountain. When they were about to rush out, a fainted man had already been thrown in by Xu Ziling with a heavy hand. Xu Ziling rushed into the house like a whirlwind, and after knocking the two of them into the air, he shouted, "Where is Xiangyu Mountain?" "Bang bang"! Two big men who were not afraid of death, chased in from the gate, forced Xu Ziling's unparalleled punch through the air, and was so shaken that he spun and flew, and fell straight out of the doorstep. At this time, there were many dead and wounded inside and outside the gate, Xu Ziling stood upright like a mountain, and he really had an incomparable spirit. Xiang Yushan, whose face was as pale as death, retreated to the back entrance, more than a dozen of his subordinates stood in front of him, everyone was shocked, and no one dared to rush forward to make a move. Xu Ziling's eyes were full of murderous intent, he stared at Xiangyu Mountain inside the wall, and pushed towards him step by step. "boom"! He didn't even look at it, he flew up his hind legs, and hit the tip of the spear that was thrown towards him. The spear flew back like lightning, piercing the attacker's heart. Knocking over another enemy who wanted to rush in, the two rolled down the stone steps at the same time, the situation was extremely tragic. Xiang Yushan couldn't hold back the fear in his heart any longer, he uttered a cry, turned around and left. "boom"! Xu Ziling rushed straight up, was thrown out by the tiles, flipped somersault, and was thrown into the courtyard between the two entrances like lightning. "Bang bang"!
