Chapter 253 Chapter Thirteen

It was not Gui Xiliang and one of the two daughters Jing Man and You Xing that Xing Rong had been expecting to enter, but Mrs. Yu Ling, who was charming and charming as before. Because of her special status, the three hurriedly stood up to greet her. Mrs. Yuling looked at Xu Ziling with a smile, and said softly: "You are Xiaoling! I recognize your eyes, and if you are an outsider, your expression will not be exactly the same as Xiaoliang and Xiaorong." Xu Ziling was slightly stunned, Li Ran smiled and said, "I knew I couldn't hide it from Madam." Mrs. Yuling said: "Sit down and talk."

After everyone sat down, Mrs. Yuling glanced at the three of them, and said softly: "Seeing you is like seeing my own nephew. I have already learned about Ling Zhou's actions from Mr. Shen. There are people like Xiao Zhong and Xiao Ling. Instead of fighting for his own brothers who have made great contributions to the gang, they went to Li Zitong, an outsider who started his career as a horse thief in Shandong." After a pause, he continued: "Li Zitong is suspicious and capricious. During the uprising at the beginning of the year, he defected to Changbai Wang Bo, then crossed the Huai River to form an alliance with Du Fuwei, and then split with Du. According to Hailing, he is called a general. How can such a person How about working with it?"

Gui Xiliang and Xing Rong were used to hearing her talk, so they were not particularly surprised.But Xu Ziling was very surprised, he never thought that this would make Emperor Yang admire him, and get the strange woman from the brothel who was infatuated with by the first gang leader. Mrs. Yuling then asked: "I heard that Xiao Zhong helped Xi Liang defeat the Du-Shen coalition army, right?" Xu Ziling nodded and said: "It is true. But we have to collect the enemy's information before we can make a real decision. The key is to take advantage of the enemy's mutual suspicion. Hey! Ma'am, do you understand?"

Mrs. Yuling scolded with a smile: "That guy Xiao Zhong must have come up with this plan. He has been scheming since he was a child. Sigh! Seeing you guys grow up and become talents, although I am happy, but I am also sad. I hope to return to the past. miss!" At the same time, he also grasped why Madam Yuling supported them with all her strength, because for her, only these children whom she had watched grow up since childhood could make her absolutely trust and rest assured.Moreover, the Zhuhua Gang is an authentic gang in Jiangdong, with a strong local color, and does not trust outsiders.

Before this "elder", the three of them could only bow their heads and listen respectfully. Madam Yuling suddenly said indifferently: "Mai Yunfei and Shao Lanfang are back this afternoon!" The three were stunned. Gui Xiliang's face darkened.As Shao Lanfang's future husband-in-law, not only did he know nothing about the return of his fiancée, but he also returned hand in hand with his rival in love. Where can he put his face? Mrs. Yuling said to Gui Xiliang: "They dare not tell you, but I think you must know. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is Shao Lingzhou's plan to slow down the army. Hmph!"

Xing Rong stretched out his hand to grab Gui Xiliang's shoulder, and said earnestly: "Why does a man have no wife, this kind of woman should forget about her!" Gui Xiliang sighed dejectedly and did not answer. At this time the dishes came, and after the servant girl retreated, Madam Yuling wondered: "Why don't you see the two daughters, Manman and Xingxing? Wait for me to remind you." Before leaving the room, he looked back at Xu Ziling and said with a smile, "You don't need to peek from the sidelines this time! It's a pity that your scarred face is so unpleasant!"

Xu Ziling had no choice but to reciprocate with a wry smile, but he still had a strange charm of roughness and ugliness. Bu Tianzhi and Chen Changlin were called to rush to the inner hall to meet Kou Zhong. The latter handed a letter to the two of them and said excitedly: "This is a letter from Feige just received from Qifei. It's fresh out of the oven. Ling Zhenxing, to hear such important news." After watching it, the two of them were refreshed. Kou Zhongdao: "No matter what, we must take these five hundred good Khitan horses into our hands. This matter will have a crucial impact on our success or failure."

Bu Tianzhi worried: "The transport of horses from Khitan to Jiangdu must pass through the sea. Unless you know the exact route, how can you intercept the robbery?" Kou Zhong asked, "How many boats are needed to transport five hundred horses?" Chen Changlin calculated: "In order to prevent the horses from dying due to the wind and waves, and to replenish food and grass, we must use a large ship of the Louchuan class, on which horses can ride back and forth, and they need to berth along the coast." Bu Tianzhi interjected: "If it's as big as the five-toothed warships of the old Sui Dynasty, then only two ships are needed, which can be enough to transport 500 horses. If people are carried without horses, each ship can carry 2,000 soldiers."

Kou Zhong wondered, "Do the Khitan people have such a big boat?" Chen Changlin said: "That doesn't matter. The Khitan people can borrow ships from the Koreans. In the Southern Dynasty, Lu Na of the Liang Dynasty built three huge ships, named "Three Kings", "Blue Dragon" and "White Tiger". Fifteen feet long, with a net weight of 10,000 dendrobium, Emperor Yang went on an expedition to Goryeo, and lost a large number of warships and shipbuilders to Goryeo, which made Goryeo leap forward in the navigation industry, and the Goryeo people hated us deeply, the more chaos we had, the better, so I will definitely borrow the boat generously."

Bu Tianzhi nodded and said, "Brother Ku can take a boat to plunder along the coast, maybe the Koreans are behind it." Kou Zhong thought of Fu Junzhuo and was speechless for a moment. Chen Changlin knew what was on his mind, and analyzed: "Now that the East China Sea has fallen into our hands, the Khitan people want to transport horses to Jiangdu, they can only berth in Langya or Huairen. Although those two places surrendered to us in name, they are actually The city we haven't really controlled yet..." Kou Zhong cut him off and said: "If we go to Langya or Huairen immediately, it will take at least three or four days, and we may miss it. If we intercept the place where they are likely to berth in the south of the East China Sea, we will be absolutely safe. Ha! They can't berth in the East China Sea, but they can only berth at the nearest wharf in the south of the East China Sea.

Bu Tianzhi and Chen Changlin shouted together: "Lincheng!" Mrs. Yuling came back soon, and said with a calm and pretty face: "Don't get excited after hearing this, because Mai Yunfei is here to stir up trouble with all his heart." The three were stunned. Mrs. Yuling sat down and said: "Mai Yunfei insisted on calling Manman and Xingxing away. Those two girls have always been interested in him, so they don't even listen to me as a mother. I thought that kid could protect them. I'll settle accounts with her later." Xu Ziling moved in his heart and said, "Who else came here with Mai Yunfei?" Mrs. Yuling replied: "They are Bao, Qu, and Su. They are three scumbags with evil eyes and sharp eyes. They are definitely not good people." Xu Ziling said indifferently: "Does the one surnamed Su use a serrated knife?" Mrs. Yuling recalled: "It is indeed a knife, but the knife is hidden in the sheath. I don't know if it has serrations, but the knife is indeed a few inches wider than ordinary knives." Suddenly, Xu Ziling knew that Xiao Xian sent to deal with him and Kou Zhong. "Hercules" Bao Rang, "Violent Dog" Qu Wuji, and "Desperate" Su Chuo. Thinking of Susu's blood feud, they immediately murdered them. . Gui Xiliang wondered, "Do you know them?" Xu Ziling stood up and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter whether you know him or not. Since Mai Yunfei gave such a good opportunity to my younger brother, it would be a pity not to make good use of it. May I ask Madam, which room are they in?" Mrs. Yuling cared: "Those three people seem very difficult to mess with, are you sure?" Xu Ziling showed soaring arrogance, and smiled freely: "If you are not sure, you have to do it. Now kill them, Shao Lingzhou and Li Zitong will only be dumb and eat Huanglian." Mrs. Yuling nodded and said: "Heroes come out of youth, no wonder you and Xiao Zhong can rule the world. They are separated by two west-facing tail rooms on the same side. I think even if you don't go there, they will come to make trouble. Then Is it better?" Before the words were over, footsteps came. Xu Ziling sat down with a smile, and said in a low voice, "Let me handle everything, and you can stay out of it." Bu Tianzhi's three warships left Liangdu under the shining stars and moon. Kou Zhong looked at Liang Du's gradually fading lights behind him from the observation deck, and he said happily, "If we hadn't made preparations to go to the East China Sea tonight, we would not start until tomorrow morning, maybe we would have missed the opportunity." Both Bu Tianzhi and Chen Changlin nodded in agreement. If Brother Ku said that 500 war horses could be transported to Jiangdu within ten days, that included the time to stop for supplies. On the sea road between them, they are rushing at full speed now, and the time is still quite reluctant. Chen Laomou said: "The quality of Koryo horses is by no means inferior to that of Khitan horses. It is very likely that some of these five hundred horses are Korean horses, so that would be more ideal." Kou Zhong looked forward to it: "After we get these war horses, we can select the strong ones and transport them to the Pegasus Ranch for breeding. Then we won't have to worry about not having good horses to supplement in the future." Bu Tianzhi laughed and said: "Ye Li! We don't need to have a good rest, otherwise after going out to sea, the wind and waves will turn strong, and it will not be easy to sleep well." Kou Zhong yawned when he heard the words, nodded and said, "I haven't slept well for so many nights, hey!" Everyone followed his gaze, and saw under the starry night, a light sail was chasing at full speed. Is the visitor a friend or an enemy? Mai Yunfei's voice sounded outside the door and said: "Little brother came back from a long way, but I haven't had a chance to visit Brother Xiliang and Brother Rong. Please forgive me for the crime of negligence. Can Yunfei come in?" Just listening to this son's tone of voice, it can be seen that he not only despises Gui Xiliang and Xing Rong, but even Mrs. Yuling. Xu Ziling laughed and said: "It turns out that it is Master Mai, a young man who has achieved great ambitions. No wonder after winning the love of people's hearts, there are still winds to sail into the sails and show off outside the door of others." Mai Yunfei's voice turned cold and said: "Who is the one who speaks outrageous words?" Xu Ziling snorted coldly, "I'm 'Wind Saber' Lingfeng, do you hear me clearly?" Before Mai Yunfei could answer, a majestic voice came from the direction of the tail room: "'Wind Knife' Ling Feng, what number one character is this, why have we brothers never heard of this name?" There was a derisive cackle of laughter. Mai Yunfei also laughed and gasped: "Brother Ling, please don't take offense. I'm afraid no one here has heard your name in the whole city. For the sake of Gui Xing and his deputy, if Brother Ling wants to Appreciate the singing skills of Miss Man and Miss Xing, please move forward a little, my younger brother and three friends will treat you wholeheartedly, farewell!" There was another burst of laughter over there, and this time there were more charming laughter from the two girls. Madam Yuling's pretty face turned pale with anger, and she said fiercely: "This kid even wants to humiliate me, Shao Lingzhou is too good a tutor!" Xu Ziling slowly drew out his sword, and said calmly, "The time to kill has come." The sail gradually caught up. Everyone was waiting in line, Kou Zhong suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "It's a boat from Pegasus Ranch." The two ships gradually approached. A figure jumped up, flipped three times in a row, and landed on the deck. There was a burst of applause from the crowd. Kou Zhong greeted him with great joy, and said with a smile, "Brother Luo Fang, hello!" Luo Fang hugged him tightly, and said: "Fortunately, I caught up with Lord Zhong. The situation in Pegasus Ranch is critical. I came here to ask for help at the owner's order." Kou Zhongdao: "What happened?" Luo Fangdao: "Zhu Can, Zhu Mei's father and daughter and the three bandits have formed an alliance and are mobilizing troops to attack the ranch. I heard that there is Xiao Xian behind the back. As long as the ranch is captured, Du Fuwei's Jingling will be attacked. Go all the way north." Kou Zhong took a deep breath, looked at Chen Changlin and said, "Brother Changlin, are you sure you can complete the two tasks of robbing the horse and attacking Du?" Chen Changlin said affirmatively: "If Uncle Zhi helps me, I can do it with 80% certainty." Kou Zhongdao: "That's the decision. Brother Luo and I rushed back to Liangdu, mobilized troops and horses, and pretended to march to aid Jiangdu, but actually rushed to the Feima Ranch with fast horses. Before Can joins forces, first eradicate the three major bandits, and then attack Zhu Can, otherwise, if Xiao Xian is allowed to cross the river north, the situation of the world will be changed." The generals suddenly agreed.
