Chapter 270 Chapter 4 Recovering My Life

Xu Ziling and Shi Feixuan stood side by side on a small hill, and in front of them was the Daba Mountains that stretched across the plain.Under the star-studded night sky, it seems to be a huge barrier that has been lowered.If you pass the Panshan plank road of Daba Mountain, you can reach Sichuan, which is known as the land of abundance. The intoxicating fragrance was passed into Xu Ziling's nose from Concubine Shixuan. This was the second time he had the opportunity to be at such a close distance with this elegant and fairy-like beauty. But he didn't dare to have any daydreams, because her ruthless hints in Hefei were still deeply engraved on his heart.

Xu Ziling is a naturally indifferent and free-spirited person, and it is easy to take this kind of matter between a man and a woman lightly. But it is undeniable that this transcendent and stunning beauty, no matter what she says or smiles, can make him feel like a spring breeze and be intoxicated by it, just like he is attracted and intoxicated by the natural scenery that empties the spiritual rain. Shi Feixuan turned away her pretty face and said with a slight smile: "Since the farewell to Hefei, I have fought many battles with Wanhou, and she always adopts the strategy of walking while fighting. The final decisive battle. Although it seems that she is not successful, until just now she still has some energy left, and she refuses to use all her strength to decide the victory or defeat."

Xu Ziling met her clear but bottomless eyes, and said indifferently: "I'm afraid she has to wait for the unearthed relic of the evil emperor!" Concubine Shixuan was startled and said, "Brother Ziling also knows about the Holy Relic?" Xu Ziling seldom saw her such a humane demeanor.Feeling a little proud in my heart, I nodded and said, "I heard it on a chance occasion. Why is Miss Teacher not called Evil Emperor Sheli, but only Saint Sheli? Is there any difference between the two?" The concubine Shi Xuan smiled and said: "The correct name should be Shengjizong, which is the status symbol of the Holy Emperor of the Shengjizong, but outsiders want to call the Shengjizong and the Holy Emperor as the Xiejizong and the Evil Emperor, and the Shengjizong becomes the emperor. The evil relic or the evil emperor's relic! Who would consider himself a member of the evil sect?"

Xu Ziling also found it funny, shrugged and said, "It should be so, I'm naive!" Shi Feixuan took a deep look at him, as if she wanted to remember his expression at this moment.Only then did he turn his gaze to the starry sky on Daba Mountain, and said softly, "Brother Ziling, where did you hear about this little-known secret?" Xu Ziling murmured: "I don't know if I should say it, Miss Teacher, please don't take offense." Concubine Shixuan was surprised and said: "Brother Ziling, if you don't want to say it, then don't say it. May I ask where brother Ziling is going now?"

Xu Ziling didn't answer but asked instead: "May I ask an abrupt question first, what does Miss Shi think of Hou Xibai?" Concubine Shixuan showed a moving expression of thought, turned to look at him and said softly, "Brother Ziling, what do you think of this man?" Xu Ziling smiled wryly and said, "I have some doubts that he is the descendant of the Huajian School, but Miss Shi, don't ask me to come up with any real evidence." Shi Feixuan smiled and said: "Feixuan will never make such a request. Because your guess is accurate. I knew his identity from the first day I met him, and he didn't hide it from me."

Xu Ziling was stunned. "Wait!" Zuo Xiaoyou strode out, blocking the master guards who rushed from Li Zitong's left and right. No matter what, Li Zitong wanted to show some face. This brought a large number of subordinates to join him as the number one general, and hurriedly ordered to stop. After pleading guilty, Zuo Xiaoyou turned to Kou Zhong, who was surrounded by Ao Litang, and said with a sneer, "Young commander has less than 10,000 troops, and his foundation is not stable. It is not easy to take care of himself. Why should he solve my Jiangdu crisis?" dangerous?"

All the generals nodded, this was the question in everyone's mind.As long as Du Fuwei allocates part of his troops and builds fortifications, it will be enough to drag down the young marshal who came to the south to help but was short of soldiers and food. Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Kou Zhong put the saber back into its sheath and said, "What's the name of this general?" Zuo Xiaoyou said indifferently: "I am Zuo Xiaoyou." Kou Zhong smiled and said, "I already guessed it was General Zuo, but I just want the General to confirm it himself!"

Li Zitong just heard another whisper from Bi Yunyu, and made a mocking voice, and said: "What nonsense, why don't I let the king guess whether the young commander is leading the army west to the pasture, and the whole army was attacked on the way?" Annihilated, only the young marshal escaped alone, and now he has come to deceive the king again." Kou Zhong laughed and said, "I told you to stop listening to the woman's slander. The fact is just the opposite. The master of the Yun gang and the coalition forces of Zhu Can and Cao Yinglong have been defeated and retreated to the base camp. Cao's army was even defeated by me in Zhangshui. Bin, the whole army is exhausted, the news should arrive soon, but the leader of the cloud has not received it! Ha! How funny!"

Everyone was moved. Yunyu shouted angrily: "Nonsense! How can you defeat our coalition with your thousands of soldiers and horses and your expedition?" Kou Zhong said in a leisurely manner: "What Master Yun said is true, it's just a matter of attacking troops, and there is a so-called battle of wits but not strength. Your coalition army and Du Chen's coalition army have the same problem, that is, each has selfish motives, I just use it This will disintegrate them. Leader Yun can send someone to inquire about the news, for example, check the business travellers, to see if I am talking nonsense."

Another general said: "The last general Bai Xin, dare to ask the young commander to make it clearer." Kou Zhong smiled wryly and said: "The situation is very complicated, but I can tell you how to solve the crisis in Jiangdu, and everyone will know if it works after listening." Li Zitong secretly thought that it would not be too late to kill you until you speak out, nodded and said: "Speak up! This king will listen carefully." Just his tone of voice.Everyone can tell that he doesn't believe that Kou Zhong has a way out. Zuo Xiaoyou showed a thoughtful expression, and said, "Does the young commander want to take advantage of the conflict between Du Fuwei and Shen Lun to create a rift? We have also thought about this, but because the two armies are only tens of miles apart , and it took turns to attack the city again, leaving us with no good plan.”

Shao Lingzhou sneered and said: "If the young commander only thinks about this, it's best not to say it out of shame." Kou Zhong glared at him, and said angrily: "Shao Lingzhou, you are getting less and less motivated. Even the king, under the instigation of women, still knows that at least he should listen to what skills I have to show people, and at most he will kill people after listening. You But I persuaded me not to say, are you a spy sent by Du Fuwei? Otherwise, why are you so inconsiderate of Da Wu?" When Shao Lingzhou was so angry that he was blowing his beard and staring, Li Zitong was the first to reprimand angrily: "If you dare to sneer at me again, I will kill you first, and I won't listen to your nonsense anymore." Kou Zhong said calmly: "I, Kou Zhong, am neither your subordinate nor come here to kneel down and beg for mercy. If you are polite and willing to cooperate, then I am a little interested. Otherwise, there is no need to take advantage of you." Li Zitong's eyes immediately became murderous, Qin Wenchao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty calm down, let's see if the Young Marshal has any good suggestions." Li Zitong suppressed his anger, nodded and said: "Okay! I was wrong, young commander, please tell me!" As long as everyone in the field is not an idiot, they all know that Li Zitong only waits for him to finish speaking before making a move. Kou Zhong smiled calmly and said: "To make a plan to divide, there must be two favorable conditions. Now the first favorable condition has just appeared, that is, the vanguard of the Jianghuai Army has left Qingliu and marched towards Jiangdu, and can appear outside the city at any time. .As long as we can grasp their marching situation, we can ambush at appropriate places on the way or attack the camp skillfully." There was a commotion among Li Zitong's people, and they began to believe that he was talking nonsense.Because the news of Du Jun's departure, they only received it within half an hour, which showed that Kou Zhong had set up a huge reconnaissance network in the vicinity. Yunyu really smiled and said: "Du Fuwei is on the left side of the river. If you can defeat you with an ambush, you won't have to come out to mess around." Kou Zhong's eyes flashed with lightning, he stared at Yun Yu who was seated by Li Zitong on the steps and said coldly, "You killed Sister Su, and made me and Xu Ziling, two mortal enemies who will never spare you, thanks to you You can laugh. When did I say that I wanted to defeat Lao Du's army? But if the one who attacked Lao Du was actually Shen Lun's people, what would the consequences be?" Seeing Yunyu really gave him a chill in his heart, which made her, who was always eloquent, speechless. Everyone was puzzled when they heard it. Li Zitong was moved for the first time, as if he had woken up from hatred and beauty, and said in a deep voice: "Does the young commander want to pretend to be Shen Lun's people to attack the Jianghuai army? We play tricks on it." Kou Zhong thought to himself that Li Zitong was someone after all, and at this critical moment, he was absolutely unambiguous. There was no sound in the lobby, everyone waited quietly for Kou Zhong's answer. Kou Zhong said calmly: "If your people do it, let's not say that you won't be able to hide it from the Jianghuai Army spies. Even if you put on Jiangnan Army uniforms, assuming you are still using Jiangdu Tieji's swords, guns, swords, halberds and Changhui Long-made bows and arrows are just a joke. That’s why the king feels that knowing is easier than doing.” Tieji and Changhui Long are the most famous weapons manufacturers in Jiangdu, and everyone knows them. Zuo Xiaoyou saw that he was confident, and said slowly: "From what the young commander said, there must be a unit that can seamlessly pretend to be the Jiangnan army, right?" Before Kou Zhong could answer, Yun Yuzhen interrupted and said, "How do you know that you, Kou Zhong, are not talking empty words? How can it be possible to find such a troop in a mere ten days? What’s more, it must be produced by the major weapon factories in the south of the Yangtze River.” Kou Zhong smiled and said, "Master Yun has been to Luoyang and drank Rong Fengxiang's longevity wine. I wonder if he also knows a man named Chen Changlin?" Yun Yuzhen's face changed slightly and said: "Never heard of it!" Another general said: "Your Majesty, please write clearly. Chen Changlin is my fellow villager. His people have been building ships and trading with the barbarians in Southeast Asia for generations." Just by listening to his accent, one can tell that this general is a genuine Jiangnan native. Qin Wenchao wondered: "Why doesn't Master Yun know this person? Even in Jiangdu, I have heard that he is an important guest of Wang Shichong?" Li Zitong was stunned for a moment, then let out a muffled snort, glared at Yun Yuzhen displeasedly, and said, "Young commander, please continue." Kou Zhong shrugged and said: "Actually, there is nothing to say. Brother Changlin is not worthy of what Wang Shichong did, so he came to vote for me, and even went back to Nanhai County to recruit a group of soldiers. Of course, he also prepared his own weapons and arrows. Hey! No By the way, it is the five hundred good Khitan horses that they robbed to the old cave, please look into it, Your Majesty." Bai Xin interjected: "Your Majesty understands that the Young Marshal's army is now close to my great Wu. Jiangdu is destroyed today, and it will be Liangdu's turn tomorrow. Therefore, we should not doubt the sincerity of the Young Marshal." Shao Lingzhou snorted coldly and said: "Kou Zhong's actions are always unexpected and unpredictable, maybe because he is eager to save people, he cheated with lies, Your Majesty, please think twice." Kou Zhong laughed, met Li Zitong's sharp eyes that were shot at him like two sharp arrows, and said frankly: "Your Majesty, you have to fight this way, otherwise you will kill me Kou in vain when the city of Jiangdu is destroyed. Zhong, it’s not that you have nothing. It can only be that you have an extra group of enemies who are chasing and killing the king, including Chen Changlin’s thousands of brother soldiers who are good at naval warfare, and you are definitely not worth it.” Li Zitong's face finally changed slightly, the last few words were indeed extremely threatening, because he did have a plan to flee overseas in case of defeat. At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Li Zitong, waiting for him to make a decision. When Yun Yuzhen and Shao Lingzhou yelled in their hearts that something was wrong, Li Ziguo let out a long sigh, and said in a discouraged way: "Please invite Brother Gui out for me. Is the young commander still interested in staying for a glass of water and wine?" Kou Zhong secretly wiped his sweat from the bottom of his heart.Knowing that he finally got back his little life that had been handed over to Yan Huang. Xu Ziling's eyes looked at Shi Feixuan sitting cross-legged on the top of the hill, and what he heard was her sweet voice, which was like a fairy, and was covered under the charming starry night, and he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. Whether it is an enemy or a friend in the future, this moment must be unforgettable for a lifetime. I just heard her softly say: "The Huajian School has never produced any vicious people. What they pursue is to enter martial arts with art, and they also regard martial arts as the highest art directly related to people. Therefore, all their descendants are versatile and focus on artistic conception. Because of Shen Yun, it is able to establish itself among many sects, and its reputation will last forever." Xu Ziling was puzzled and said: "Since this is the case, why is the Huajian faction listed as one of the two sects of the Demon Sect and one of the six sects, and is still on an equal footing with the Yingui faction." Concubine Shixuan looked up at the starry sky, her beautiful eyes shot out a moving light, she seemed to be able to see the true meaning behind the beautiful appearance of the universe, and said spontaneously: "The difference between the two ways is actually due to the difference in thought. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a hundred schools of thought argued, There were schools of thought at the beginning, and when the Han Dynasty deposed a hundred schools of thought, only respecting Confucianism, everyone regarded Confucianism as orthodox, and then there was a distinction between good and evil. I only know that they oppose Confucianism's benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness, denouncing it as hypocrisy and ignorance of the people. Extremes, they will all deviate from the Dao." Xu Ziling was suddenly enlightened when he heard that, he and Kou Zhong have always found it difficult to understand what the Yin Gui sect did.Because what they have accepted since they were young is the Confucian way of old master Bai that combines Buddhism. Concubine Shi Xuan turned her pretty face away, and said calmly: "Confucianism is impartial and impartial. The Huajian School is an extreme sect, which believes that people's true temperament can override all morality, and with art, They have developed a set of things that are difficult for orthodox sects to accept, so they are classified as demon sects. In fact, the Huajian sect and the Yingui sect are fundamentally different." Xu Ziling looked at her undulating and beautiful silhouette like a valley in the spiritual space, and said in a low voice, "What about Shi Zhixuan?" Concubine Shixuan turned her gaze back to the mountains and wilderness in the distance, as if she was touched by something on her mind, she sighed softly after a long time: "I am afraid that Shi Zhixuan is a heterogeneous species of the Demon Sect, and he is also the leader of the two sects of Huajian Sect and Butian Pavilion. There are fundamental differences in the martial arts mentality and direction of the two schools, and until now no one understands how he can integrate the two schools of martial arts into one, creating the unrivaled magic art that everyone fears." Xu Ziling finally couldn't help it, and asked: "Si Zhixuan Shi is an evil person, then...then..." The concubine Xuanlan was wise and wise, of course guessed the reason why he hesitated to speak, and said softly: "Brother Ziling, do you want to ask, since Shi Zhixuan is such a person, how could Bi Xiuxin of our family give birth to him? Girl, you are more worried that Feixuan will repeat the same mistakes, right?" Xu Ziling's face flushed, and he said awkwardly: "I only have the meaning of the former, but I haven't thought of the latter." Shi Feixuan turned her face away to look at him again, she seemed to appreciate his embarrassment, a smile appeared on her fragrant lips, and she said softly: "If Master Xiuxin didn't hold me in his arms, who would go to hell? Sentiment, test the devil with your body, this world has been turned upside down by Shi Zhixuan, and the devil will disappear." Xu Ziling said, "Since that's the case, why does Miss still admire and trust Shi Zhixuan's apprentice so much?" Concubine Shi Xuan burst into a sweet smile for the first time, and said with a cute and naive look: "It's still this problem, do you still want to keep saying that you never thought about it?" Xu Ziling's handsome face flushed again. Even he didn't understand why he was so helpless under her clear eyes. Concubine Shixuan stood up, Yurong replied calmly, changed the subject and asked indifferently: "Where is Brother Ziling going?" Xu Ziling heard her intention of saying goodbye, uncontrollable dissatisfaction surged in his heart, forced his mind to stand up and said: "Miss Shi, if you have something important, please do whatever you want!" Shi Feixuan fell silent, staring into the distance. When the mountain wind blew, her Confucian clothes in green clothes fluttered with the wind, hunting and hunting, forming a breathtakingly beautiful picture.
