Chapter 298 Chapter 6 Try Your Luck

When Cui Jixiu saw Kou Zhong, he immediately knew that the situation was not good, so he secretly thought that it would be better to act first, and shouted: "Go up, brothers!" He shook his hands and shot out fireworks, which exploded into the night sky and became a light flower. The fierce battle that was about to break out was finally fully launched by this sentence. The opposing sides yelled in unison, like a torrent sweeping across the earth. Under the cover of thick smoke and fire, they fought and clashed. Kou Zhong's prey is Cui Jixiu, if he can be captured alive, he will get the most precious information about Lin Shihong.He and Xu Ziling once speculated that Lin Shihong was most likely a member of the Yingui sect, and maybe he could get the answer from Cui Jixiu.

Unexpectedly, Cui Jixiu was extremely cunning, commanding the masters around him to deal with Kou Zhong with all their strength, but she backed away. When Kou Zhong flashed forward with lightning, more than a dozen strongest opponents intercepted him. The two of them were extremely fast, the one on the left used a long spear, and made more than a dozen spear lights, and stabbed him in the face with power, while the other raised his knife and slashed at the enemy with a whistling wind. On the side of Zhong's neck, not only is his skill strong, but also his saber skills are vicious. At the same time, the side where the enemy ship was berthed shouted loudly, and just by hearing the sound, one could tell that Cui Jixiu's side had a reinforcement army ambushing there, and when they saw the rocket signal, they rushed into the village.

Ouyang Qian's side was not weak either. Hundreds of ambush warriors showed up on the other side of the village to join the fierce battle. Kou Zhong pulled out Jing Zhongyue on his back, gushing out bursts of murderous aura, Tao fired his spear seemingly casually, and with a "dang" sound, he held the enemy's knife, turned around, and dodged between the two of them in time, and then pulled out However, I happened to see Cui Jixiu in the protection of more than twenty men, fighting and retreating, but not in the direction of retreating to the coast. The enemy who intercepted Kou Zhong was first surprised, then overjoyed.

Surprisingly, Kou Zhong's body skills are exquisite and unparalleled, and he can be so fast that people can't catch them in an instant, and his dodge puts them in a position where they are difficult to attack; what is gratifying is that Kou Zhong straightened up and became the easiest and most clear attacking opponent. Like, that's still alive when it falls. Immediately, swords and guns were raised at the same time, and everyone was ready to welcome. Kou Zhong was extremely contradictory in his heart. He had some strength left when he pulled up, and with his ability to change his direction quickly, he was almost certain to catch up to Cui Jixiu, who was running away. Liao warrior.At that time, he might be able to capture Cui Jixiu, but Ouyang Qian might lose this battle.It is indeed hard to have both the fish and the bear's paw.

Kou Zhong shouted loudly, made a decision, let go of Cui Jixiu's temptation to him, and went down. "Whoosh"!One of the enemies under him shook his hands and threw more than a dozen iron bullets, and threw them at him in a rainy manner, with extremely sinister intentions. Kou Zhong would keep that in his mind, he exchanged his true qi in his body, forced to move half a zhang sideways, not only dodged the hidden weapon, but also turned over, and slashed at the head of one of the formidable enemies with his long knife. That person is also amazing, although the incident happened suddenly, he still did not panic in the face of danger, he sat up and stepped forward with two axes in his left and right hands, he was also full of murderous aura, extremely powerful.

Kou Zhong laughed loudly, heaved a spiral force, and struck the opponent twice with all his strength. The man had never tasted the unique taste of spiral strength in his life. Not only did his tiger's mouth twist and his meridians twitched, but he also spurted blood on the spot. These two swords immediately frightened the other enemies, and the aura that was originally like a rainbow suddenly disappeared. After Kou Zhong landed on the ground, he shouted loudly: "Cui Jixiu has escaped! You are all scapegoats!" These two sentences were uttered vigorously and spread throughout the battlefield.

More than a dozen enemy masters who were besieging Kou Zhong all showed doubts, and their offensive faltered. Kou Zhong saw that the opportunity was not lost, Jing Zhongyue fancied a sword light, and covered one of the enemies, shouted coldly: "Who can stop me, 'Young Commander' Kou Zhong, three swords, I, Kou Zhong, spare his life." When all the enemies first heard Kou Zhong's name, their expressions changed. The enemy who was the first to be Kou Zhong's sharp edge was even more terrified. He felt that his whole body was in a cold cellar under the sword energy, his skin was tingling and his eyes were hard to open. The worst thing was that he couldn't move forward or retreat, there was nowhere to hide, and there was no way to escape. , forced to block with a sword.

"when"! The tyrannical saber energy pierced through the sword, and Kou Zhong slashed this person with his sword so that he flew horizontally. Because of their heinous atrocities, Kou Zhong certainly didn't feel the slightest apology in his heart, he even showed murderous intent, turned his sword into a rainbow, and rolled towards the enemy. At this time, the situation on the battlefield has become one-sided due to Kou Zhong's psychological tactics.Cui Jun not only saw Cui Jixiu walking away without a trace, but also heard Kou Zhong's name, he was frightened, everyone was unwilling to fight, and scattered for their lives.

After Kou Zhong killed two more people, he realized that the aggressive enemy had escaped completely, and he cried out for danger, if these ten people worked together and fought him desperately regardless of life and death, even if he could win, how could he possibly win? There is a price to be paid. Sweeping around, the situation is under the control of the bureaucratic beauty Ouyang Qian, she turned her mind, jumped up, and chased in the direction where Cui Jixiu slipped away. Xu Ziling, who had transformed from Yueshan into a hero with a scarred face, hung far behind Zheng Shiru, the "Henan madman", and walked slowly along the night-like Nanshi Street.

Although the pedestrians on the street are not as lively as the Mid-Autumn Festival night, they are still very crowded. Most of them seem to be people who came from other places to join in the fun, and they are still not satisfied. Xu Ziling had other plans in mind at this time. As long as you know who Zheng Shiru is reporting to, and follow him step by step, you may be able to find the "Tianjun" Xi Ying within three o'clock, and avoid being trapped in the dilemma of being outnumbered.If there is no way to respond one to one, I have to blame myself for my poor skills and lack of luck.Otherwise, don't talk about encountering Houhou or some veteran masters, as long as you add more sides to live up to, he can't finish eating.

He doesn't dare to boast about other skills, but he is quite confident in the way of stealth and stealth.At least the master of the demon sect with the level of Anlong also follows his way. Thinking of this, even his steps became brisk. Zheng Shiru disappeared in front of him, Xu Ziling hurriedly quickened his pace, and the words "Sanhualou" appeared on the upper door plaque. Looking inside, he saw Zheng Shiru, surrounded by flowers and trees, under the brilliant lights, under the hospitality of the big man who welcomed the guests. , is stepping up the stone steps of a magnificent building with a very elegant facade.I remembered that Zheng Shiru once mentioned to him the most famous brothel in Chengdu, and said that it was as famous as Chang'an's Shilin Garden, and it was known all over the world. The strong men guarding the door looked him up and down, which made him even more uncomfortable. The business of Sanhualou was booming, and a gorgeous carriage came one after another, forcing Xu Ziling to step aside to make way, and at the same time complained in his heart. Every time I go to the brothel, I never try to have any good things happen, but bad things happen one after another.The bigger problem is that it may not be useful to follow in. Zheng Shiru is supposed to come to meet his friends. If he goes in like this by himself, it will not be so coincidental that he will be greeted by his neighbor.However, if you give up halfway and feel unwilling, there is nowhere to go anyway, so let's try our brothel luck this time!Thinking of Kou Zhong, he gritted his teeth and stepped into the gate of the courtyard. One of the big men at the door stretched out his hand to block it, but his expression was polite, and he asked, "May I ask if you have reserved a room?" Xu Ziling was stunned and said, "Can't you come without booking a room?" Another big man said apologetically, "My lord, I'm sorry, there are the most distinguished guests around the festive season. All the rooms are fully booked these days. You can try another Zuixiang Nest on the west side of the street. The girls there are quite nice." Xu Ziling felt very embarrassed, thinking that his luck in the brothel this time was worse than in the past, and he was unlucky at the door. At this time, the big man who greeted Zheng Shiru into the building turned his head and saw Xu Ziling, he put on a smile on his face as if he was an old friend and shouted cordially: "Isn't this uncle a friend of Mr. Hou? The villain has seen the old man in the Mid-Autumn Festival." He and Mr. Hou were surrounded by Miss Caiqi, playing drums and dancing!" Hou Xibai may be the person with the most status in the brothel, and the other two immediately became extremely enthusiastic, and one of them complained: "Master Hou should have said that he is a friend of Mr. Hou! Mr. Hou has booked a wing room for ten days. I haven't seen anyone coming yet. Our delicate girl is so anxiously awaited!" Another asked: "Master Hou will come later?" Xu Ziling couldn't help but bite the bullet and said, "Yes! He's coming soon." The man who received Zheng Shiru said: "Little man Yang Ji, my uncle's surname is Gao." Xu Ziling remembered Gong Chenchun, the "scarred man" mentioned by Hou Xibai, and replied casually: "My surname is Gong, and my name is Chenchun." Even he himself felt that the name was strange. Yang Ji didn't seem to have his feelings, and said happily: "Master Gong, please follow the villain." If you come, you will be at ease, and the brothel fortune can also be extremely prosperous. After comforting yourself, Xu Ziling followed him. Assuming that Cui Jixiu escaped alone, the chance of catching up with him would be very slim. Fortunately, judging from the broken branches and leaves along the way, and footprints on the road, there were at least fifteen to twenty people who left with him in the end. Kou Zhong rushed nearly two miles in one breath, and when he reached a small stream, all the clues he followed all the way to this point were completely lost.This makes sense. Cui Jixiu and the others were in a panic at the beginning, trying to leave the dangerous place quickly, and when they reached a safe distance, they had to use their brains to eliminate the traces in order to avoid the enemy's pursuit. Kou Zhonggong gathered his eyes and observed carefully. The creek gurgled through the scattered trees, from south to north, and it was obvious that the enemy waded instead, so there were no traces left on the other side. The question was whether the enemy walked to the left or the right of the stream. This is like a test after Ba Fenghan taught the method of tracking, if he can successfully track down Cui Jixiu, he can be regarded as a perfect teacher. If you look carefully at the footprints before entering the water, most of them are clearly and clearly facing left.This is a human instinctive reaction. If the leader goes into the water and walks to the left, the followers behind will naturally look to the left or turn to the left instead, so as to follow closely behind the leader. Kou Zhong smiled happily, satisfied with his deduction, was about to chase to the left, suddenly felt something was wrong, contemplated, then his heart was shocked, and he secretly called out for danger. Then study the traces on the shore, and see that all the footprints are on the muddy ground beside the shore, not only are they clear, but the footsteps are too heavy, as if they are afraid that others will not see the footprints. Kou Zhong tried to take two steps, but he could only leave a few footprints that were much shallower. Up to now, it is not known that it was a trick of Cui Jixiu, a bad scholar, to cast doubts, so he immediately turned to the right and chased along the bank. After Yang Ji handed Xu Ziling, the "knife-scarred man" Gong Chenchun, to Zhike in the lobby, he also forcefully told Xu Ziling to be Hou Xibai's good friend. Feel free to tip. As a well-known guest, Xu Niang Wengu led Xu Ziling through a flower path and arrived at the famous main building of Sanhualou. When climbing up the third hug, Xu Ziling pretended to ask casually, "Didn't Brother Zheng Shiru just come here? Did Aunt Wen greet him?" Miss Wen smiled coquettishly and said, "Master Gong was also Zheng Kuangshi's friend. Although he was not guided by the slave family, Mr. Chen and Mr. Bai booked a room in the East Wing with the best scenery. In the next room, Master Gong should go to say hello first, and the servants will come to call Lord Gong when Young Master Hou comes." Xu Ziling secretly called luck, felt that "this trip was worthwhile", and found any reason to reject Wen Gu's kindness. Wen Gu laughed and said, "No wonder Master Gong became a close friend of Young Master Hou. Young Master Hou never dealt with other young masters, but he was so nice to the girls here, and composed music and lyrics for them. As long as Young Master Hou is a good friend Now, whoever doesn't want to wait for him, I hope they will suffer a lot in these three days." Xu Ziling was taken aback, and said in a more emphatic tone: "I don't know if Brother Hou will break the appointment, please don't tell others before he arrives, lest you make Brother Hou's confidante happy for nothing." Aunt Wen pushed open the door, and the fragrance of flowers rushed in. She saw sweet-scented osmanthus flowers on the window sill opposite the door. , the components are tightly connected and seamlessly carved, and the back of the chair is inlaid with marble on several sides. The lines are clear and round, elegant and beautiful. On the corners of the walls, there are decorations with words day, which is not the least bit tacky. Xu Ziling came to the place next to the window sill where a guzheng was placed, and looked out the window. In the moonlight and lights, the city view was full. He could only see shrines, Buddhist temples, Daoli pavilions, Lulu alleys, Louguan halls, and gardens. The pavilions and ponds criss-cross outside the high-rise buildings, and I can't help but think of the charming and intoxicating beauty of the brothels when beautiful prostitutes play and sing to the windows. The sound of silk, bamboo and string music can be faintly heard from inside and outside the building, not only does not feel noisy, but also seems to add to the profound peace of Scattered Flowers. Aunt Wen came behind him and said in a low voice: "Miss Qingxiu is difficult to separate tonight, but since she is a friend of Mr. Hou, there is no way I can arrange her to sing a song for Mr. Gong. At other times, I will teach Qiuhong to serve the Marquis." Master Gong!" Xu Ziling called his mother secretly, and hurriedly said: "Gu Wen doesn't need to know about this Zhou Zhang. I only came here to see Brother Hou. Everything will be arranged after he comes. Now I just need to give me good wine and fresh fruits." Aunt Wen stared at him strangely, then agreed to leave the room and closed the door for him. Xu Ziling breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time gathered his ears together to eavesdrop on Zheng Shiru's movement. Kou Zhong chased Li Xu along the stream, and found the enemy's track on the bank of the stream again. Not only can he be sure that the previous speculation is correct, but he is more certain of catching up with the enemy. Cui Jixiu traveled such a long distance to the north of the stream, and of course the purpose was to target him, Kou Zhong. Even if Kou Zhong chased in the right direction, he still couldn't find any trace of the enemy coming ashore after chasing such a long distance, so he naturally doubted whether he had made a mistake choice.However, the speed of the enemy wading through water is of course much slower than that of walking on land, so Kou Zhong is more sure of catching up with the enemy. Under the moonlight, the water drops from Cui Jixiu and the others shone brightly on the stone surfaces and leaves when they landed. Fortunately, there was no rain and fog tonight, otherwise the only tracking clue would be lost. Set foot on objects that do not leave traces, such as stones. After Kou Zhong found three branches that the enemy had broken through the forest, he came to a grassland, not far from the undulating mountains, and the terrain was desolate. He concentrated all his strength and energy on his nose, and immediately smelled the smell of clothes and sweat remaining in the long grass. He was overjoyed, and thought to himself that the hounds often hunted targets just like his current situation.What's even more strange is that there is a hint of fragrance in the remaining smell, and Cui Jixiu's somewhat girly appearance can't help but come to mind, thinking that this bad ghost scholar must have the habit of scenting his clothes. When he applauded in his heart, he crossed the grassland without stopping, and came to the foot of a small mountain. On the slope, there were two groups of barely noticeable footprints, extending in opposite directions. The sand here is soft and there are no hard rocks to step on, so the enemy has to spread out and escape. In this way, Cui Jixiu has only half the chance of being caught up by Kou Zhong. Kou Zhong was amused in his heart, he chased after the fragrance without hesitation, bypassed the mountain glass, and when he climbed another mountain, he could see the mountain road to climb, although few people trampled on it and weeds grew, but the road was still clearly identifiable. The smell that passed into Kou Zhong's nose became stronger, the enemy appeared to have passed this road not long ago. Kou Zhong kept walking straight up the mountain, when he could see the situation on the other side of the mountain, he saw an abandoned deserted village far below the mountain, with more than ten dilapidated houses hidden in the trees. At this moment, a hasty scream came from the deserted village, which shocked Ning Qia in the moonlit night. Kou Zhong was stunned by this, and hurried away at full speed.
