Chapter 357 Chapter 1 Once White Snow

The elegant and beautiful Concubine Shixuan sat down opposite the two leisurely, still dressed in men's clothing as usual, the flash of light from the bright eyes fell on the dumbfounded Kou Zhong's face, and said slowly and calmly: "Concubine Xuan has a new proposal for the young marshal to consider." Kou Zhong glanced at Xu Ziling first, seeing that he had completely recovered from the shock, he realized something in his heart, took a deep breath and said, "We were very careful when we spoke just now, the walls of fairies have ears, and they are just trying to scare us, are you kidding me? ?”

Concubine Shi turned her eyes to Xu Ziling, saw him looking at herself calmly, smiled back, and said softly: "Brother Ziling's ability is far beyond Feixuan's estimation, so Feixuan had to change the original plan and make a move. Redeploy." Xu Ziling smiled and said, "We are all old friends now! If you have anything to say, Miss Shi, please speak up." Concubine Shixuan slightly shrugged her shoulders, and said in a relaxed manner: "Feixuan earlier asked Mr. Du to send a message to capture the two of you alive, which is really scaring you, so that you can dispel the intention of entering the customs. Who knows that it will arouse you. Your fighting spirit is not what you expected. So now I have another proposal, I want to make an appointment with the four masters to fight with you again in Zhishan Temple. If the two can still escape safely, we will ignore the matter of your entry in the future Otherwise, you will cancel the treasure hunt, what do you two agree?"

The two looked at each other in astonishment, secretly exclaiming. Shi Feixuan's calm words first made them lose their desperate heart for fear of being captured and imprisoned alive. In fact, Shi Feixuan can also achieve the same goal.Secondly, at a time when the factions of the Li Clan are fiercely fighting and the two sides are at loggerheads, it is not unproductive to let the two be free for the time being. The immediate task is to escort Tuli Khan back to the country, so as to greatly weaken Xieli's power to invade the Central Plains. In the long run, it is to establish two tenacious enemies for the Demon Sect.The Four Great Sacred Monks, Concubine Xuan, Liao Kong and others are all outsiders, and they don't want to be directly involved in the struggle between Jianghu for a long time.

Kou Zhong smiled wryly and said: "If my younger brother refuses the fairy's proposal, it would be out of grace. May I ask if this battle can be held in an hour, because you have strength when you are full!" Concubine Xuan nodded her head and said, "Young Marshal didn't disappoint Fei Xuan, so we proceeded according to the time appointed by the Young Marshal. Alas! If Fei Xuan had other choices, how could I be willing to confront you like this." She admired Kou Zhong because he readily accepted Tao Zhan and did not protest against the injustice of the four holy monks joining forces.

Bao did not ask for a change of place, which allowed the four monks to exert their greatest strength with a designated environment.You must know that if the two of them deliberately absconded, it is definitely not a fool to stop them.The four monks are unlikely to act in the thoroughfare, so Kou Zhong agrees to Shi Feixuan's proposal, which is really courageous. Xu Ziling said indifferently: "Miss Shi didn't plan to end in person, she is very good friend!" Kou Zhong remembered that Xu Ziling would become Yueshan tomorrow, so he hurriedly said: "We never regard fairies as enemies, but as best friends."

Even Xu Ziling blushed when he heard it, and understood his bad intentions, Shi Feixuan said angrily: "Since Feixuan is a good friend, you don't want to be called by the fairy before the fairy, Feixuan is just a little girl with ordinary practice. woman." Kou Zhong said happily: "The fairy's angry expression is really touching, no wonder Ling Shao... ouch!" Of course Xu Ziling was kicked under the table. Concubine Shixuan knew that his words were open, so she couldn't help being angry.Xuan Youqiao's face was rosy like never before, and she stared at Kou Zhong reproachfully, then she stood up pretty, and her expression immediately returned to her usual cool and composed look.The two quickly got up and saw each other off.

Concubine Shi stared at Kou Zhong deeply, and said softly: "Zhu Yuyan withdrew from Luoyang overnight, but she will never let go of the Holy Emperor's relic, lest she fall into Shi Zhixuan's hands, you two should be careful about this." Kou Zhong clasped his fists and said with a smile, "Thank you, Fairy, for your concern." Shi Feixuan glared at him angrily, and left calmly and gracefully. After sitting down again, Kou Zhong grabbed Xu Ziling's shoulder and said with a low smile, "Brother, you are lucky! From my point of view, she is really attracted to you, otherwise, how could she show the shy expression of an ordinary little girl."

Before Xu Ziling had a chance to scold him, Yang Gongqing and Zhang Zhenzhou came, and unexpectedly there was the old fox Wang Shichong, and the atmosphere suddenly became strange. Kou Zhong served tea to the dignified Wang Shichong, and said with a smile, "Why does the Holy Majesty go out on tour in modest clothes, and come to see us with a condescension, wouldn't it be enough to send us a word to see you in the palace?" Wang Shichong said in a deep voice with a dark face: "Young commander, do you know what trouble you have caused by your reckless actions?" Yang Gongqing and Zhang Zhenzhou successively took advantage of Wang Shichong's indifference and gave him winks, telling him to deal with it carefully. It was obvious that Wang Shichong had lost his temper in front of them.

Kou Zhong reluctantly suppressed the urge to yell at Wang Shichong, leaned against the back of the chair, stretched his waist, and said in a leisurely manner: "Is it strange, my lord, why the people from the Luoshui Gang still come to trouble us?" Wang Shichong said angrily: "Of course I know, if I hadn't tried my best to persuade Rong Fengxiang, the whole Luoyang would have been turned upside down." Both Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling cursed in their hearts: Wang Shichong did try to persuade Rong Fengxiang, but he only advised him to act later, so as not to hinder the plot against Tuli.

Kou Zhong rested his left wrist on the table, tapped the teacup lightly with his middle finger, focused his eyes on the green tea that was constantly rippling due to the shock, shook his head and sighed: "Your Majesty, you know one thing and don't know the other, One of the things we know is that Rong Fengxiang, who was played by Ke Feng, has been killed by us; the other is that the old demon Rong, who was played by Pichen, has also been seriously injured, and now only half of his life is left. Whether he can survive tonight is still a question. The unknown." Wang Shichong, Yang Gongqing and Zhang Zhenzhou were immediately moved.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling exchanged glances, and said with a smile: "How can you allow other people to snore on the side of the couch? Right now, Rong Yaoyao can't support herself alone. If the Holy Majesty can seize the opportunity and let someone take control of the Luoshui Gang, maybe he can seize control. Come on, the Holy Majesty should be better at these methods than me, so I don’t need you to teach you.” These words implied cynicism, but Wang Shichong's mind had already flown to other places, and he just ignored it, but he still couldn't help being shocked: "Is Rong Fengxiang hurt so badly? Don't lie to me." Kou Zhong smiled and said: "When did I, Kou Zhong, deceive the Holy One?" Wang Shichong finally blushed slightly, coughed dryly in embarrassment, and said: "This matter is of great importance, I must first investigate clearly before making a decision." Turning his eyes, he said again: "Is there any change in the matter of escorting the Khan back to the north at dusk today?" Kou Zhong shrugged and said: "Everything is according to the instructions of the Holy Majesty, but for the sake of safety, I will accompany Young Master Ling until we reach the northern border and then turn to Guanzhong. The Holy Majesty will not object?" Wang Shichong hesitated to speak, but he didn't say anything. He stood up quickly, and everyone stood up with him according to the etiquette. Wang Shichong said sternly: "The two of you should keep yourselves safe in Luoyang, and don't make any more troubles." Kou Zhong shrugged his shoulders and said, "If no one comes to us to make trouble, we will not be able to keep ourselves safe." Wang Shichong's face changed slightly, Xuan suppressed his anger again, and asked, "Where is Khan now?" Kou Zhong laughed loudly and said, "Of course I'm hiding to avoid the limelight, lest it be difficult for the Holy Majesty. Please, Your Majesty!" Wang Shichong was so angry that his face changed again, but he didn't burst out in the end, and walked towards the door with a flick of his sleeves.Zhang Zhenzhou took the first step to open the door for him, and more than a dozen guards outside the door stood up to pay tribute, full of pomp. Yang Gongqing took half a step back, leaned close to Kou Zhong's ear and whispered, "Li Xiuning wants to see you." Kou Zhonghu's body trembled, but he didn't make a sound. Seeing his appearance and reaction, Yang Gongqing nodded understandingly, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "I'll talk to you later." Then she chased after Wang Shichong and others and left. "Ding"! After clinking the two cups, Kou Zhong drank the cup of congratulatory tea and said, "Do you have a hunch that you can get away?" Xu Ziling smiled bitterly and said: "Do you think I can predict the future? But according to Xu's judgment, after the battle last night, the four monks should have figured out my background, and there is no chance of getting away with it by chance, and they have to use real kung fu to escape. Just like Fu Lao What Qian said: We can only submit the test papers, and we can't cheat." Kou Zhong nodded and said: "The mentality you just realized is very important. Anyway, they don't want to kill us alive. We will take this opportunity to show our strengths. If we lose, we will go to Yuwenhuagu to settle accounts, but you don't want to do it deliberately." You have to lose." Xu Ziling laughed dumbly and said: "If I do this, how can I be worthy of being your brother, Marshal Kou? What's more, now I really want to enter the customs to open my eyes." Kou Zhong was stunned and said, "Is there anything to open your eyes to?" Xu Ziling smiled and said: "It's all your fault. I came up with the method of me pretending to be Yueshan to visit my old friend Li Yuan. Not only did I find it very exciting and interesting, but I also felt that it might be possible to destroy Shi Zhixuan's plot." Kou Zhong shook his head and sighed: "At the end of the day, you all think that I can't retrieve the treasure, and you're talking about brotherly love." Xu Ziling was obviously in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Young commander, please calm down, but objective facts will never be changed by people's subjective will. Not to mention that our chances of finding the treasure are very slim, and even if we find it, it will be difficult to move it away. You have to wait If I promise to accept my fate, why would I not do it." Kou Zhong laughed, then Xuan lowered his voice and said, "Is the boy elated because the fairy also touches the heart?" Xu Ziling said with a smile: "You can think whatever you like, the time is almost there! It is an honor to be besieged by the four top Buddhist masters." Kou Zhong patted Jing Zhongyue on the back, stood up abruptly, looked up to the sky and smiled, "It's a dragon or a snake, it depends on the present. Jing Zhongyue! Don't let me, Kou Zhong, be disappointed!" The two stepped out of Dong's Restaurant and looked up at the sky at the same time, only to see little snowflakes falling slowly, filling the entire sky, transforming the previous world into another world in an instant.Every snowflake has a drifting personality, and there is an incomparable unity in the differentiation. Tianjie is still full of people coming and going, bustling traffic, looking left and right, the farther places are all immersed in the white floating clouds, adding rich layers of shades to the first street in Luoyang, like a picture full of The poetic picture scroll purifies everything with snow-white color. Residents of Luoyang were delighted and greeted the arrival of Ruixue with cheers and smiles. Kou Zhong laughed and said, "It snowed as soon as we left the door, what kind of omen is this?" Xu Ziling was staring away at the other end of the Tianjin Bridge, which disappeared into the vast snow and rain, and said happily: "Whatever the omen is bad or good, anyway, I feel at ease now." In unison, the two joined the flow of people on Tianjie and started walking towards Tianjin Bridge.Their unusually large size and demeanor immediately attracted the attention of many passers-by. Kou Zhong walked side by side with Xu Ziling, and sighed: "Who would have thought that we would go to Zhishan Temple to fight the four most powerful Buddhist monks, and this battle might be related to the great event of the world's rise and fall?" Xu Ziling was touched in his heart, remembering the dreamlike quality of life, nodded and said: "When we were dawdling in Yangzhou, we never thought that we would have this day, right?" Kou Zhong patted him on the shoulder and laughed, "Well said! At that time, we were just two penniless, unknown men, worrying about how to fill our stomachs tomorrow, and having to use our brains to deal with Boss Yan. The reality is as false as a dream. I am even more afraid of falling and waking up, and I am still sleeping in the kennel of the abandoned garden in Yangzhou." The two stepped onto the Tianjin Bridge, and the snowflakes fell bigger and denser. Both the Luohe River and the Long Bridge were covered in white snow that was so thick that it could not be melted away. Xu Ziling stopped at the top of the bridge, followed a sail that was submerged in the rain and snow, and suddenly said, "Why don't you want to see Li Xiuning?" Kou Zhong trembled slightly, pressed his hands on the fence, and looked down at the Luo River. The snowflakes drifted into the endless river, and were assimilated without a trace. Everything was so natural and inadvertent.With a wry smile, he said, "Teach me how to answer you? I will only disappoint her if we meet each other and fight if we don't see each other." Xu Ziling said: "Supposing that the famous flower has not yet found a owner when you meet her, will your fate be changed?" Kou Zhong shook his head and said: "Who knows the answer? At that time our identities were too different. If we had followed Li Xiaozi like that back then, today we are at most just two heavenly soldiers from the Tiance Mansion. It would be very difficult to be as proud as we are now Fate. Misfortune and fortune have no way, it is unpredictable." Changing the subject again, he said, "Hey! Shi Feixuan will finally blush!" Xu Ziling laughed dumbly and said: "You boy, you are always stubborn, and you don't want to let go of such topics. After all, Shi Feixuan is still a mortal, and naturally has the emotions and desires of mortals. What's so strange about blushing occasionally, let alone yours. It's so daring and rude." Kou Zhong smiled and said: "She is not an ordinary person, but a mortal fairy who has cultivated her heart lake to the ancient well since she was a child, and she is willing to blush for you, which shows that she has reached the point where she can't help herself. It's not me Speaking of you, you kid is really too arrogant, even if you are happy with someone else's girl in your heart, you still only hide it in your heart." Xu Ziling couldn't help thinking of Shi Qingxuan, and sighed: "Fate comes and goes, how can we force it! Everyone has their own ideals and goals to pursue, and there will be no good results if forced to change. Or suddenly one day I want to start a family, and my mind will change again. come over." Kou Zhong sighed: "How did you, Xu Ziling, get married? From my point of view, you are just a wandering wild crane, searching and searching, but you have nothing to owe and nothing to ask for. Ha! End this life." Thinking of Susu, Xu Ziling felt an inexplicable hurt in his heart. Kou Zhong put his hand on his shoulder and walked down the Tianjin Bridge with him, said thoughtfully: "It's so strange! This snowstorm seems to have touched a certain realm in our hearts, and it has brought out some things that have long been forgotten in the deep memory. Things that have been forgotten. Although we are walking on the Tianjie Street in Luoyang, it feels like returning to the city of Yangzhou when we were young. We have changed to another way that can touch our hearts to discuss the beautiful lady who fascinates us. ideal for the future." Xu Ziling nodded in agreement, and said: "Back then we really talked about everything, and we kept looking forward to the future. We seem to have got a lot of things, but it seems like we have nothing. Is there really such a thing as fate?" Kou Zhong pondered: "You also know that I never really believed in fate before. Good luck and bad luck are just words. But after experiencing so many accidents, I don't dare to make a judgment. No matter where we go, fate always It seems to be tightly wrapped around us. For example, why did Niang tell us the hiding place of Yang Gong’s treasure before she died, and why did we meet Lu Miaozi who designed the treasure? What’s more, the treasure is in Guanzhong, and it also involves fighting for the emperor and righteousness The struggle of the Demon Sect is inextricably linked, as if it will always involve you and me. If this is not fate, what is it?" With only such a burst of dense snow, Luoyang, the eastern capital, put on new snow-white clothes. All the houses saw snow but no roof tiles. A thin layer of snow piled up on the long street. of repetitions. The two casually turned into the street leading to Zhishan Temple. The pure and simple snow scene made them addicted and unable to control themselves. The snow spots turned into punchy snowballs, as if from drops of transparent icy tears to blossoming flowers, the beauty was so enchanting. Stopping suddenly, the open gate of Zhishan Temple is in front of you. The sound of Sanskrit singing and chanting sutras came melodiously from the Daxiong Palace, and matched with the snow-white and vast world, it makes people think deeply and feel fascinated. Kou Zhong was startled and said, "Why did I completely forget that I came here to face the most important battle in my life?" Xu Ziling also had a strange feeling in his heart. Kou Zhong patted Jing Zhongyue on the back, his passion was wild, he laughed, and strode ahead into the temple gate. Xu Ziling followed closely behind. At this moment, he didn't care about victory or defeat at all, just like Ruixue descending from the sky.Eternal sky, once white snow.
