Chapter 297 Chapter 5 Pirate Conspiracy

Not only did Kou Zhong lose the sense of time, but he also didn't know where he was, and he didn't know what kind of people lived in this area. He only knew how to run at full speed in the direction of the thick smoke from the fire under the cover of night. At first he thought it was only a few miles away, but when he ran across a prairie river and climbed a hill, he realized that the place where the fire started was ten miles away.But he actually heard shouts, so it can be seen that the fact that his power has increased is not wishful thinking. A burst of shouting and killing came faintly with the wind, and Kou Zhong's mind recalled the brutal scene of murder, arson, rape and looting when the defeated army of the Sui Dynasty was retreating. A narrow path through the forest and across the stream.

From the other side of the woods ahead, there was a woman's scream and a burst of grinning laughter from many people. With a "boom" of anger, he rushed straight to the tip of Kou Zhong's hair, took out Jing Zhongyue, and swept into the woods, his mind became clear and clear, free from distracting thoughts. The light from the torch came through from the other side of the woods, and the figures were indistinct. Before leaving the forest, two big men in black clothes holding torches entered the forest along the road, one of them said with a smile: "These two Liao Niang are pretty good, I hope to find a few more similar ones over there to be enough for the brothers Be merry merry!"

Just as the other person let out a "ha", Kou Zhong passed between the two of them like a whirlwind before they had time to react, rushing towards the outside of the forest without stopping. Before the two could even cry out, their throats had been cut, and they fell to the ground, dead on the spot. Outside the forest is a large grassland with bushes everywhere, and the northern end of the grassland is where the fireworks start. Two naked female corpses were lying on the side of a bush. More than twenty big men in black, carrying shiny long knives, walked along the road one after another with unsatisfied intentions.

Kou Zhong shouted loudly: "I will take my life!" In an instant, he jumped into the group of big men who were unable to guard against him, and swung his knife to slash. When the big man who was the first to bear the brunt raised his saber to fight, Jing Zhongyue struck the opponent's door with lightning, and fell to the ground in response to the saber. The men were startled and aroused fiercely, and counterattacked together. Kou Zhong roared angrily to vent his anger at not being able to rescue the innocent and weak girl in time. A sharp knife, a backhand knife, and another victory.

The man obviously felt that he had successfully blocked the block, but Kou Zhong's blade seemed to be able to swim in the gaps, and he watched as the terrifying enemy stabbed him in, sinking into his chest, as if he was willing to send his chest up to be stabbed. After killing four people in a row, Kou Zhong pierced the saber with true energy, sat on the horse with his waist down, and swirled around with his right foot as the center. The four sabers he attacked were all smashed into the air. After throwing down, he was shocked to death with strength. Kou Zhong's killing sprang up, his saber turned rapidly, and he moved through the crowd of men like a ghost, everywhere he went, everyone fell down in response to the blood spattered by the saber, and there was not a single general under his command.

When there was only one living person left, Kou Zhong chopped off the weapon in his hand with a knife, grabbed his chest with his hands, and lifted him off the ground. Beads of sweat dripped from his forehead. Kou Zhong shouted coldly: "If you want to live, you have to ask and answer, otherwise I will pinch your balls out, understand?" The man nodded painfully. Kou Zhong's eyes sparkled, and he asked in a deep voice: "You are the people on that line, I'll tell you frankly, I know your ins and outs, and now I'm just testing your sincerity." The man moaned: "Master, please forgive me, we are members of the Haisha Gang."

Kou Zhong laughed and said: "You don't want to keep your balls! Let me help you take off your pants first, I will only cut your balls, and I will never cut other parts." The man said in amazement: "Master, please forgive me, I am indeed a member of the Haisha Gang." Kou Zhongye smiled and said, "You still have to lie to me, do you know who I am? 'Mermaid' You Qiuyan is an old friend I kissed; 'Fat Assassin' Yougui and 'Crossing General' Ling Zhigao both kicked my ass , The Haisha Gang knows me from top to bottom, and you still dare to talk nonsense. This is the last chance! I don’t have any more time to waste on your balls.”

The man's face turned pale, and he said in a trembling voice, "The villain said it! Master Lin sent us here." Kou Zhong shouted, "Master Lin is that bastard?" The man hurriedly said, "It's Master Lin Shihong!" Kou Zhong's heart was shocked, Luo Yu understood what a pirate was. When Zheng Shiru saw Xu Ziling's Yue Shan, his face changed slightly, and he stopped. When the others looked at him in astonishment, Xu Ziling stopped in the middle of the road, and said coldly, "Zheng Shiru stay here, and the others get out of here." Those people showed angry faces at the same time, and when they were about to explode, Zheng Shiru quickly stopped him and said: "Everyone, please show some face to me, hey! This is my elder, please go ahead, I will go to Sanhualou to make amends to you later."

The children of the martial arts family dressed up by the young masters looked at Xu Ziling half-believingly, and then left sadly under Zheng Shiru's urging. Zheng Shiru saluted and said: "I don't know that the senior will come, please forgive Shiru for the crime of negligence." Xu Ziling let out a muffled snort from his nostrils, and said in a deep voice, "Follow me!" Zheng Shiru shrugged helplessly, followed behind him, and came to a deserted alley. Xu Ziling was afraid that he would recognize his own back, so he turned around and said calmly, "Boy, what level of position do you have in the Yingui Sect, and what color do you get?"

Zheng Shiru put away all his doubts, and sighed: "To tell the truth to seniors, strictly speaking, Shi Ru is not a disciple of the Yingui sect." It turns out that the Yingui sect attaches great importance to the division of respect and inferiority, and the sect divides them into three levels according to "heaven, earth, and man", and the martial arts they teach are also completely different. color.Only the disciples who have been awarded the Baizhong will have the opportunity to see the secret skills of the heavenly demon. In the Yingui sect, except for Zhu Yuyan's direct disciples, only veteran masters such as Xiang Bianbu, Wen Caiting and so on can get this honor.The number of people should not exceed nine people, which is the extreme number of nine days.People who have a reputation in the rivers and lakes, such as Yanni and Evil Monk, are only at the level of the "earth system".

These are all from Yue Shan's posthumous scrolls, and they seem to come from it. Xu Ziling sneered and said, "Nonsense! If you are an outsider, how can Zhu Yuyan trust you?" Zheng Shiru smiled wryly and said: "It's hard to say a word, but if senior wants me to pass the word on his behalf, there is absolutely no problem." Xu Ziling nodded and said: "The boy is quite clever, how do you know that I want you to pass the message on your behalf?" Zheng Shiru calmly said: "Senior came back out of the rivers and lakes this time, needless to say, he came here for Song Que and Xi Ying. Senior suddenly appeared in Chengdu at this moment. He should have heard about Xi Ying. Is there anything wrong with this junior? ?” Xu Ziling said, "Where is Xiying?" Zheng Shiru frowned and said: "Senior should know Xi Ying's character better than junior, he will never disclose his whereabouts to anyone." Xu Ziling smiled confidently and said, "Isn't it the only exception to live up to the fear?" From Yue Shan's posthumous scrolls, he knew that Xi Ying had a close relationship with Bian Busheng for a period of time, and together they were in a brothel among the flowers, Hu Tian and Emperor Hu, working hand in hand with each other, that's why he said this. Zheng Shiru was stunned and said, "I'm not sure about this, seniors know that I am Zheng Hantang's son." Xu Ziling felt terrible, Yue Shan couldn't write all the people who had contact with him in the volume, but from Zheng Shiru's tone, his dead father obviously had something to do with Zhen Yueshan, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "Han Tang Still alive?" Zheng Shiru said sadly: "My father passed away ten years ago, senior certainly understands why it is rare for him to die well." Xu Ziling remembered what happened to Xiangyushan's father, Xianggui, who was almost killed because he accidentally learned something about the Yingui sect from the drunken chat of an elder of the Yingui sect, and said in his heart: "Hantang must want to Exit! Right?" Zheng Shiru said dejectedly: "That's exactly the case, otherwise how could Dad die so ambiguously! To tell the truth from the seniors, my nephew is just pretending to be a fool, waiting for the opportunity. This is the first time that my nephew has revealed to others the thoughts in my heart. , all because senior helped father a lot back then, my nephew really can't bear to see senior get tricked into hating Chengdu, I hope Elder Yue will understand!" Although Xu Ziling finally found out Zheng Shiru's real identity, he still complained in his heart. If Zheng Shiru insisted not to spread the word for him, would he go around shouting "Yueshan is coming" or write these four-character mantra on the wall and street corner? Kou Zhong used the cover of weeds and trees to sneak into the burning village from the side near the sea. There were three two-masted ships moored by the sea. According to estimates, the number of these pirates disguised by Lin Shihong's men should be between 300 and 400, assuming that each ship carried a hundred people. Although Kou Zhong is quite self-confident, he is not a person who is overconfident. If confronted head-on, and the opponent must be led by a master, there may be no problem in escaping, but he will definitely not get any big advantage.It is the best policy to use secret calculations and fight and flee, so be very careful in your actions. Lin Shihong's move is obviously to blame Soochow, killing two birds with one stone.It can not only plunder the food, cattle, sheep, horses and other strategic products of the coastal peoples in southern Guangdong, but also destroy the relationship between Shen Faxing and the nearby bureaucrats and ethnic groups. , is known all over the world. The village where the catastrophe was imminent was twice the size of the village where Kou Zhong had slept for a long time. At this time, most of the hundreds of houses in the village were reduced to ashes, and what was still burning was the dense forest surrounding the village. rattle. Kou Zhong had no way of understanding the mentality of the perpetrator, how could he commit such a heinous crime before his eyes. When entering the area of ​​the village, the situation is different. Looking out from behind a mud house that is still considered complete, I saw two groups of armed men, each numbering more than a hundred or two hundred, confronting each other in the open space in the center of the village. On one side is Lin Shihong, a big man in black clothes pretending to be a pirate. The leader met once when he assassinated "Qingjiao" Ren Shaoming. He knew that he was a master, and the other subordinates were fan-shaped scattered at the northern end of Liao Village. The corpses of the victims of Liliao village were scattered all over the ground, and the situation was appalling.Cui Jixiu and others must have come so suddenly that the poor innocent villagers had no time to avoid disaster. The other side has fewer people, only for a few hundred minutes, all of them are wearing brightly colored military uniforms. The most striking thing is that the leader is a slender, beautiful lady with hair hanging down her shoulders. It's really a tiger skin, which makes her look majestic and heroic in her weakness. Everyone in the bureaucrats and warriors showed grief and indignation, and the war was about to break out. Kou Zhong suddenly relaxed, thinking to himself that Cui Jixiu, who was called Deshanduo, finally met a tiger, and was detected by the bureaucrats, so he came to fight back. At the same time, I feel strange. What Cui Jixiu said was also Lin Shihong's national teacher, how could he be so condescending to pretend to be a raping little pirate? A long laugh came, only to hear Cui Jixiu laughed and said calmly: "It's Miss Ouyangqian, the 'Tiger Dress Pink', who came here. It's just a matter of luck." Kou Zhong wondered why Ouyang Qian's name sounded so familiar, and immediately remembered that she was one of the three handsome men mentioned by Chen Changlin or Bu Tianzhi, the other two were Wang Zhongxuan and Chen Zhiyi.I didn't expect to meet here by chance, and the other party is so beautiful. Ouyang Qianxian had just arrived here, her eyes slowly inspected the disaster site where the lives were devastated, her beautiful eyes shot out a look of grief and indignation, and she slowly said word by word: "Report my name?" The words are correct and round, and there is nothing like the local accent of the previous slang girl. Kou Zhong put his sword back into its sheath, left the hiding place with a loud laugh, walked towards the crowd, and replied on behalf of Cui Jixiu: "I, Cui Jixiu, hold an important position as a national teacher under Lin Shihong's seat. Today, I came here to kill people and set fires. In addition to nature, it is even more important to blame Shen Faxing. Ha! Brother Cui! Is the younger brother's answer wrong?" Hundreds of pairs of eyes in the audience were all focused on him, Cui Jixiu saw that it was Kou Zhong, all the blood faded from her face immediately, her eyes showed panic. Xu Ziling's thoughts changed, and he hurriedly pretended to be confident and said: "How can I hide Xi Ying's methods from the old man? Since I heard the news of Xi Ying's bastard, the old man knows that there is something wrong. My nephew doesn't have to worry about the old man. Does my nephew know where Xi Ying is staying?" Zheng Shiru said with concern: "Old Yue, don't take it lightly. They have to deal with not only Song Que, but you as well. If Zhu Yuyan didn't want to kill her daughter's own father herself, how could Old Yue escape so easily that day? Afterwards, they searched all over Luoyang, but they couldn't find Mr. Yue!" Xu Ziling thought that Yueshan didn't exist at all, so of course there was no way to find it. His eyes flashed sharply, and he said in a deep voice: "When we first met that day, my nephew's words were meant to be solicitous, what exactly do you mean?" After many years of encountering all kinds of deceiving tricks, he has learned obedient. Zheng Shiru said in a low voice: "Elder Yue appeared too suddenly. My nephew didn't believe it until Zhu Yuyan confirmed the identity of Elder Yue, but he couldn't find Elder Yue anymore." Xu Ziling said casually: "The Yingui faction has always forbidden outsiders to get involved in their secrets, why do you know so many things?" Zheng Shiru sighed: "If I were Elder Yue, I would have the same doubts. The problem is that although I am not a disciple of the Yingui sect, I am not an outsider. For ten years, I have never expressed any doubts about my father's sudden death, and deliberately pretended They seem to be infatuated with Zhu Yuyan's apprentice, Bai Qing'er, and they want to use their nephew's political and economic talents to manage the important city of Xiangyang for them, so Zhu Yuyan can use it." Xu Ziling finally began to trust Zheng Shiru, and pondered: "My nephew is in Chengdu this time, what is the reason?" Zheng Shiru smiled wryly and said: "This matter is difficult to explain in one word. To put it simply, I finally found the love of my heart, and because of the hopelessness of retribution for my father's hatred, I was born to retreat into the world, and happened to meet with Xi Ying. It is best for Mr. Yue to stay away from him immediately. , I will try to find Xi Ying to settle the score in the future. I will truthfully report the fact that Yue Lao appeared here, and of course what I said is another story." Xu Ziling shook his head and said: "Nephew, don't worry, if the old man is not sure, he will never take risks to come here. My nephew doesn't need to talk about anything, just tell them that I will wait for the reception at the Dashi Temple at the third watch tonight. " Zheng Shiru was taken aback and said: "Master Yue must not be like this, the four elder masters of the Yin Gui Sect are all in Chengdu, and there is also Zhu Yuyan's proud disciple Houhou, Lao Yue is absolutely hard to please." Xu Ziling felt a big headache, Zheng Shiru's words were advice to both Xu Ziling and Yue Shan, and he only hated that no matter how much risk he had to take, he would lure Xi Ying out of his hiding place, at most he would watch in the dark to see if he could hang Xi Ying from afar. Yes, first find out where he is hiding, and then find a way to match. Tan hand grabbed Zheng Shiru's shoulders, leaned closer to him and said with a strong tone: "The old man has his own measure, nephew, you must tell the old man what the old man said, otherwise it will be a mistake." Zheng Shiru glanced at his palm, and said in shock: "Old Yue has really mastered the 'Dafa of Changing the Sun', no wonder he is so confident." Xu Ziling followed his gaze, and his heart was shocked. His long and slender hands, as if they had been completely reborn, became crystal clear, bright and moist like jade, and were waving some kind of supernatural beauty. of gloss. Zheng Shiru said in a low voice: "But Mr. Yue must be careful. It is said that Xi Ying gathered great achievements from various families in the Western Regions to create a domineering magic art called 'Ziqi Tianluo'. Zhu Yuyan will also be full of praise after trying the move, and be praised as Shi Zhixuan." Immortal Mark is the most brilliant self-created technique of the Outer Demon Sect." Xu Ziling patted him on the shoulder vigorously, and said: "Go and act according to plan, and don't make mistakes." Zheng Shi hesitated to speak, but seeing his resolute expression, unable to persuade him, he sighed helplessly, and continued with difficulty.
