Chapter 269 Chapter Three: The Battle Between Good and Evil

Zheng Shiru said with a long smile: "Being famous is not as good as meeting him. This time I was able to meet Brother Xu. It's a joy in my life. I'm going to Zheng Shiru in Henan." Xu Ziling and Zheng Shuming looked at each other, feeling a little embarrassed and not knowing what to do. And Xu Ziling even sensed a hint of request from the other party's eyes.Zheng Shuming seemed unwilling that Xu Ziling would reveal Zheng Shiru's identity on the spot. In fact, Xu Ziling didn't intend to do this either. It was originally such a simple matter that the Yangtze River Alliance hunted down Cao Yinglong for hatred, but it immediately became complicated because of Zheng Shiru's appearance.It was also the first time that Xu Ziling felt that the identity of this person was ambiguous and even unpredictable.

Is it because of Zhu Yuyan's instruction that he helped Changjiang Lian to hunt down and kill Cao Yinglong?And they also knew Cao Yinglong's true identity early on. What value does Cao Yinglong have for them? When a series of questions flashed through his mind, Zheng Shiru sat down beside Zheng Shuming in a demonstrative manner, and moved the chair a little closer to her, as if saying that this woman is me.However, in terms of talent and appearance, he does have the conditions to make women fall in love. Xu Ziling smiled slightly and said, "Brother Zheng, hello! I don't know if this trip to the west is because of Cao Yinglong?"

When he heard Cao Yinglong's name, his eyes lit up a little, which made Xu Ziling more sure that his opinion was correct. Zheng Shiru nodded and said: "Shuming's business is my business. Bandit Cao has harmed countless people, and everyone has to punish him. So Shi Ru really doesn't understand, why did Brother Xu let the tiger go back to the mountain? I don't want to blame Brother Xu, but I hope to know why Thief Cao persuaded Brother Xu to let him die." Zheng Shuming's expression became unnatural, of course it was because she had a very close relationship with Zheng Shiru, but Zheng Shiru was also the demon of the Yingui sect that Xu Ziling said, and his emotions were turbulent and extremely complicated.

Xu Ziling felt that Zheng Shiru was not really looking for an answer, but just wanted to destroy the relationship between him and Zheng Shuming, so he said calmly: "Forgive me for not explaining the situation, I can only reveal to you: Cao Yinglong has a deep relationship with some secret factions of the Demon Sect. It’s not as simple as being just a bandit leader who was once rampant.” He suddenly changed his mind and deliberately revealed a little secret.On the one hand, it can make Zheng Shiru not suspect that he has discovered his identity; on the other hand, it can remind Zheng Shuming that Zheng Shiru's motive for helping her deal with Cao Yinglong is not as simple as she thought.

Zheng Shuming asked in amazement: "Is this serious?" After speaking, he couldn't help but cast a glance at Zheng Shiru. Xu Ziling shrugged his shoulders slightly, his movements free and easy. Zheng Shiru said in a deep voice: "Since Brother Xu said this, we will be careful. Please allow me to ask another question, that is, Brother Xu is here, is he going to enter Sichuan?" Zheng Shuming's mind was immediately attracted to this question, because it was the question she had always wanted to ask but never had the opportunity to ask. Xu Ziling smiled calmly: "I'm here to visit a friend, it has nothing to do with Cao Yinglong, please!"

After all, I went away. Kou Zhong chased after the carriage, looking for opportunities. After that, he gathered his eyes together, and in an instant, through the curtain of the window, he saw Mrs. Yuling sitting alone in the car, as if she was preoccupied.It made him feel ominous. The carriage drove towards the direction of the main rudder of the Bamboo Flower Gang. At this time, it came to a road junction and slowed down. Kou Zhong unfolded his footwork, seemingly slow but fast, and came to the place where the carriage must pass by one step earlier. When the carriage turned, he pulled the door quickly, pulled off the mask, closed the door and sat next to Mrs. Yuling.All movements are like flowing clouds and flowing water, and they are completed in the blink of an eye.Although there were people coming and going on the street, no one could clearly see his actions. They only felt a figure flashing in front of them, and they thought it was because of their dazzled eyes.

Madam Yuling let out a soft cry, and when she saw clearly that it was him, she showed a look of surprise again. The big man driving the car heard the sound and asked, "Ma'am!" Mrs. Yuling scolded softly: "I'm fine! You don't need to go to the main helm, just walk around for me." Then he said to Kou Zhong: "Xi Liang and Xiao Rong have an accident!" Kou Zhong was taken aback, and said, "What happened?" Mrs. Yuling nodded angrily and said: "I just received the news that Li Zitong sent someone to take them to the general manager's mansion. Now I'm going to find Shao Lingzhou to discuss it."

Kou Zhong pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "This is shameful, let me go to Li Zitong and say something nice!" Madam Yuling lost her voice: "What did you say?" Xu Ziling left the city overnight and headed towards Daba Mountain under the moonlight, feeling very distressed in his heart. Should we take care of Cao Yinglong's affairs? No matter from any standpoint and angle, Cao Yinglong's death is not a pity.But the problem is that when Xu Ziling got to know this person better, he found that inside his fierce and domineering shell, Cao Yinglong was just a poor snake who couldn't help himself.Besides, his life is not long, so it is reasonable for him to fulfill his wish before he dies.

Under normal circumstances, he shouldn't get involved in such matters, but when the Yin Gui sect is involved, it becomes extremely complicated. If Cao Yinglong had no value, Zheng Shiru would never work so hard.But what else could he use?Is Cao Yinglong still hiding some things from him, or is it too late to say it. Thinking of this, he has been driving for nearly ten miles without stopping, and there is a series of rolling mountains in front of him, dormant on the vast plain like a giant dragon. At this moment, a soft laughter like a silver bell faintly came from the dense forest in the southwest, followed by a series of sounds of weapons clashing.

With Xu Ziling's self-cultivation, his heart was shocked because he recognized whose laughter it was. Kou Zhong swaggered to the outside of the manager's mansion where Li Zitong was, and shouted: "I am Kou Zhong, please send me a report immediately that Li Zitong will come out to meet you." The guards guarding the gate were all taken aback, and they didn't dare to be negligent. Someone rushed to the mansion immediately to communicate. Seeing everyone staring at him as if facing an enemy, Kou Zhong said with a smile: "If I came to fight, I would be followed by thousands of troops, right?"

What he said made sense, but the soldiers and guards were intimidated by his reputation, so how could they be relieved. With the sound of the wind, a tall man in military uniform appeared at the gate, and all the soldiers and guards hurriedly moved out of the way. The man looked at Kou Zhong with burning eyes, and said coldly: "The last general is Qin Wenchao, who is under the throne of Wu. He is here to welcome you under the order of King Wu. Please, young commander!" Kou Zhong secretly sighed in his heart. If Li Zitong came out to greet him in person, there would be a hidden intention of cooperation to turn hostility into friendship, but now he is sending people to greet him, it is clear that he is trying to buy time to gather people, and he must be lured into the shell before leaving without his life.However, he had already thought about this situation, he said "Long Admiration" twice sincerely, and then walked through the door, and walked towards the main mansion with this "extreme master" who he had admired in his youth. Xu Ziling jumped up and chased after him at full speed. Not only did the fighting sound subside, he couldn't even hear any sound. If it is someone else, you will feel very embarrassed at this time, and you don't know how to find the target.But Xu Ziling is different from ordinary people. He passed through the dense forest where the sound was made just now, crossed a small stream, and crossed the long grass between two small hills at the speed of a bird with his extraordinary intuition. , when he ran to the top of another hill, under the moonlight, he saw the fierce battle that "moved" him the most since Fu Junchuo fought Yu Wenhuaji and Ba Fenghan fought Qu Ao. Qin Wenchao saw Kou Zhong who was striding beside him without saying a word, and couldn't help asking: "Young Marshal is here, what's the matter?" Kou Zhong said lightly: "I'm self-inflicted, I can't live. I sent it to my door specially, so that you can kill me and help Lao Du break the city, ha!" Qin Wenchao was stunned by his sarcasm, and then fell silent, as if he wanted to chew on the inner meaning of his words. The two of them walked through the guards standing on both sides, crossed the threshold and the hallway, and arrived at the lobby of the general manager's mansion. Under the bright lights, Li Zitong, who was sitting on the throne at the south end of the hall, stood up and said with a big smile, "Young Marshal Kou is indeed a brave man with a high skill. After breaking my East China Sea and killing my brother, he still dares to come here alone. Is it true? Bullying me that there is no one in Li Zitong's account?" Kou Zhong stepped into the hall casually and looked around. He saw more than a dozen generals on the left and right, including Shao Lingzhou. Everyone glared at him and was eager to try. Gao Yi, let alone being bold, just misjudged King Wu's hospitality. May I ask King Wu whether he wants to stain the hall with blood, or whether he wants to smash the Du-Shen coalition army, and the king of Wu can make a decision between the two." Li Zitong made a slight gesture, his eyes shot a sharp light, staring fiercely at this young rival who did not show the slightest panic, he shook his head and sighed: "Young Commander Kou did not misestimate my strength, but underestimated my intelligence, Li Zitong. You overestimated your abilities. Now this hall is under heavy siege, even if you have two wings, you cannot escape being shot down from the sky by the archers." Qin Wenchao left Kou Zhongli at the center of the hall, went back to Li Zitong's right and left Xiaoyou, and said, "Your Majesty Mingcha, why don't we first listen to what the young marshal has to say?" Including Zuo Xiaoyou and Bai Xin, all the generals nodded in agreement. Shao Lingzhou said coldly: "My lord, don't listen to his rhetoric. This son is the best at using intrigues and tricks. If you are not careful, you will be fooled by him." With just these few words, he knew that Shao Lingzhou had already broken his skin with Gui Xiliang's people, and he wanted to fight against him, without any scruples. Kou Zhong laughed and said: "Mr. Shao has won the award! But I am indeed a bit of a ghost, but I have to say it again, I can't beat Lao Du, so why not rely on conspiracy and tricks. Jiangdu City is broken, and Mr. Shao patted his ass." But escaped far away, the poor people are only other people, no wonder Master Shao said it so beautifully and unrestrainedly." Shao Lingzhou's face changed slightly, and he said with a sneer: "I just said that you are good at scheming, and now you come to provoke dissension and spurt people with blood. If I, Shao Lingzhou, really have this intention, I will die badly." Kou Zhong shrugged his shoulders and said, "So what if I think I'm blaming Junshi Shao? But I have something to ask Junshi Shao. If Junshi Shao cares about the safety of Jiangdu like General Qin, he will learn from General Qin. At least I'm interested to know, brother What suggestion do you have here? Why is Master Shao not even interested in listening to him? Is it because he values ​​the personal grievances of the gang more than the rise and fall of Wu?" These words are reasonable and reasonable, compared to scolding and scolding Even more fierce, Shao Lingzhou was at a loss for words because of his cunning and wisdom. Kou Zhong didn't wait for him to regroup, and turned to the Lizi channel on the steps: "If you want to fight and make peace, King Wu please give me instructions!" Li Zitong's eyes were fixed, his face changed slightly several times, and finally he took a deep breath and said, "This king is listening attentively." At this moment, a woman's voice came from the entrance to the inner entrance on the left side of Li Zitong Dragon Seat: "Wait a minute!" Kou Zhong heard the sound and complained. "Ding! Ding!" Houhou's Heavenly Demon Double Slash hit Shi Feixuan's Sekong sword one after another in an instant, and swung away the sharp weapon that was only half an inch away from the chest, and then drifted back to one side in a flowing manner. Withdrew a dense belt net, making Shi Feixuan unable to take advantage of the momentum to pursue. This outstanding heir of the Yingui sect has a strange blue glow in his beautiful eyes, which is a unique phenomenon when the Heavenly Demon Kungfu reaches its peak. Until now, Xu Ziling didn't know that Houhou's repeated words about not doing his best to him were not just threats. It's just this block and retreat, which caused a strong shock in Xu Ziling's heart.What impresses him the most is that the two strikes that can double-slash the demon as fast as lightning, change in an instant into a lingering demon belt net that is so natural and seamless that there is no gap to be found. trick.It has actually reached the level of a master.What's even more rare is that she can fully express her inner intentions and emotions in it, so even though it's just a few moves, and it's purely movements and sounds, it's as clear as if written in a book. I saw it with my own eyes, and I can't explain it. That day Ba Fenghan slashed three sabers, because there was still a gap between the sabers, so Dugufeng found an opportunity to break his saber technique. Not only is there no flaw in the change of moves, what's more, the change from the most rigid to the most soft is completely natural. If Shi Feixuan continues to chase with the same sword move, she will suffer a loss. So on the surface, although she seems to be at a disadvantage, the fact is that she can regain her advantage at any time. Unexpectedly, "clang"!With a bang, Shi Feixuan put the sword back into its sheath, flicked a bunch of messy bangs with her left hand, calmly smiled as if she had never touched her hands before, and said, "Let's let this battle go, what do you think, sister?" The two belts slipped back into the sleeves like spirit snakes, and with an expression of anger and laughter, he first glanced at Xu Ziling who was standing behind Shi Feixuan, and said with a helpless smile: "Since there are uninvited guests who come to disturb our interest, , I can’t give up if I don’t want to.” He suddenly smiled sweetly at Xu Ziling, then flew back and disappeared into a forest. Concubine Shi Xuan sighed quietly. Xu Ziling said embarrassingly, "It's because I didn't come here!" Concubine Shi Xuan slowly stopped turning her delicate body, shook her head and said: "No! You came at the right time, otherwise we will end up in a loss." It is the beautiful master Yun Yuzhen who is inseparable from Kou Zhong's grievances from the back hall. Just looking at the smile on her face, one can tell that she is sure to incite Li Zitong to deal with Kou Zhong with all his strength. And she has Xiao Xian as her backing, so Li Zitong would betray her no matter what, not like Shao Lingzhou is just a guest official. This is indeed an unexpected variable for Kou Zhong. Li Zitong sat back on the dragon chair, his tone became gentler, and he said softly, "Master Yun, please give me your advice." Kou Zhong was shocked, and finally guessed that the arrest of Gui Xiliang and Xing Rong was caused by Yun Yuzhen.This woman is well aware of his character, and knows that if the two of them are in trouble, she will come to rescue them, so she can lay a trap and wait for him to catch him. The problem is that she didn't expect that Kou Zhong would openly touch the door to express his interests. There is another more troublesome problem, that is, from the way Li Zitong and Yun Yuzhen flirt, it can be seen that the couple has hooked up, and at this moment of intense love and adultery, he Kou Zhongruo made a big deal about Yun Yuzhen's personality. Attacks are not welcome. If he did it, he could only end up spilling blood on Jiangdu.Such a defeat at the hands of a slut is not worth it.But the matter has come to this point, so the soldiers have to come to stop it, if they can't stop it, Xu Ziling will avenge himself in the future! Thinking of this, Yun Yuzhen moved lightly, came to Li Zitong's dragon chair, bowed her head and whispered something next to Li Zitong's ear, her fragrant lips slightly parted. Kou Zhong screamed in his heart, this kind of bad words similar to pillow talk is most effective for lustful men. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Kou Zhong noticed that all the generals in the hall frowned, and Qin Wenchao even whispered to someone who looked like Zuo Xiaoyou, obviously dissatisfied with Yunyu's seduction of Li Zitong. Kou Zhong suddenly had a glimmer of hope, and his spirits lifted. Li Zitong's voice came into his ears at this time, and said: "If the young commander really has the sincerity to cooperate, why not return the East China Sea first, and then return the five hundred Khitan war horses that were robbed to their original owners. Of course! The young commander must stay here For a while, we didn't discuss the big plan until everything was handed over properly." Kou Zhong raised his head and laughed loudly: "King Wu, you really know how to joke. It's a pity that Du Fuwei and Shen Lun don't like to listen to jokes. Otherwise, maybe you can defeat the enemy with this." "Clang"! Jing Zhongyue came out of the sheath, causing Li Zitong's guards on both sides and the generals on the left and right to pull out their weapons. Kou Zhong stood with his sword horizontally, looking like a god, and said in a loud voice: "That day when Yuhua and Liangdu were besieged by soldiers, I, Kou Zhong, sent someone to ask you for help, but you ignored the King of Wu, it was you who did not want to cooperate, not me, Kou Zhong. In the current situation, the winner is the king, and no one has anything to say. How could the East China Sea be given to you for nothing based on your words. As for the five hundred Khitan war horses, it represents the conspiracy of you, King Wu, to collude with Brother Ku to harm me I, Kou Zhong, came to help you solve Jiangdu's misfortune regardless of the past. Not only did you not appreciate it, but you also wanted to put me to death, just because I was instigated and played by the woman sent by Xiao Xian. It is really stupid. Stop talking nonsense, it depends on whether you are more capable than Li Mi and Wang Shichong, and can keep me in Jiangdu forever. But King Wu, don’t forget that I still have countless brothers and friends. They may join the Jianghuai army out of grief and indignation , thought I had a blood feud." Li Zitong's face turned red and pale when he heard it, and finally he was furious: "How dare you! How dare you die so imminently, and still be so presumptuous, let me cut him off!" All the guards responded with a crash. Yunyu Zhenxiu glanced at the incomparably complicated expression, and lowered her head.
