Chapter 403 Chapter 8 Luckily hit the auxiliary car

The foreign hotel is located in the municipal district in the west of the imperial city, separated from the imperial city by Anhua Street. There are ten hotels in total. Due to several heavy snowfalls recently, several inches of snow piled up on the roof, and the trees were covered with icicles, which is already very unfavorable to the night walkers who walk up and down at night. Tonight, there is another problem.That is, the official mansions and mansions in the entire Lifang are all decorated with lights and festoons, and the sky is noisy, reflecting everywhere as bright as day. It is just wishful thinking to sneak in without anyone noticing.

Xu Ziling, Kou Zhong, and Hou Xibai, who turned into three vulgar villains through Lei Jiuzhi's skillful hands, walked around the foreign hotel where the East Turks lived for two full circles, but still couldn't find a way to sneak into the hotel.Fortunately, the streets are full of people who are taking advantage of the excitement, so they are not likely to arouse suspicion. Finally, the three of them sat down next to each other at the base of one of the auspicious animal stone sculptures on both sides of the hotel, looking at each other with wry smiles. The sound of drums and music from the Nuo Opera came from the palace. It was the middle of Haishi, only half an hour before New Year's Day. Fireworks and firecrackers were set off on the street, and everyone was in high spirits to welcome the arrival of the new year. .Some people began to flock to the only way for the Nuo dance to exorcise ghosts down the river, so as to get some auspiciousness and hope for peace in the coming year.

Kou Zhong took out the map of the hotel, spread it out, and said, "If we enter through the wall from the backyard, we can use the garden in the northeast corner as a cover, but after leaving the garden, it will be difficult to move a single step, unless we want to do something big." Xu Ziling shook his head and said: "This is the next policy, a big fight will do us no good." Hou Xibai said: "But if you want to kill Zhao Deyan, this is indeed a rare opportunity. At least we know that Dazhi, Kang Jiaoli and other Turkic people with status all went to the palace to attend the banquet."

Kou Zhong smiled bitterly and said, "It's called smart people talking out of stupid people's hands. Now the witch is leading us by the nose." Hou Xibai suggested: "Why don't we go to the backyard again? If we can't find a chance, we should go home and sleep." Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling had no choice but to agree, so they went back to the backyard. This inner alley is only 20% of the width of the main street, far less lively than the upper street, and there are only sparse passers-by. Suddenly the door to the backyard opened a little, and a man with his hat covered to his eyebrows sneaked out and squeezed into the crowd.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were shocked at the same time. Hou Xibai stared at the man's back and asked, "Who is it?" Kou Zhong's eyes filled with murderous intent, and he said in a deep voice, "Xiangyu Mountain!" The three of them were on the east bank of Yong'an Canal, watching the small boats transport Xiangyu Mountain to a large sailboat parked in the middle of the river. At this time, the canal was filled with more than a thousand ships of all sizes, all of which were decorated with lights and festoons, reflecting the sparkling water of the river. Hui, greatly increasing the difficulty of diving onto enemy ships.

Kou Zhong frowned and said, "Whose ship is this? What is Xiangyu Mountain doing in Chang'an?" Of course, the two of them didn't have an answer. Xu Ziling glanced at the people on the bank who were taking advantage of the excitement, and said, "No matter what the risk is. I want to find out who Xiangyushan is going to meet. As long as I get close to the bottom of the boat, I can hear Xiangyushan. every word that was said." Hou Xibai was speechless and said, "Ziling is a good spy, but as long as you come up to the surface to breathe, you will be easily spotted by the people on the shore."

Kou Zhong's gaze wandered up and down the canal, and finally landed on a row of small boats moored by the bank, and said: "As long as we steal a small boat, we can solve the problem of getting on and off." Putting his hand on Hou Xibai's shoulder again, he said with a smile, "If the little thief Ruoxiang has been talking to people for three days and two nights, Young Master Ling and I don't need to go to the water to breathe, let's go!" Xu Ziling slid into the water from the small boat, quickly swam close to the bottom of the canal for a distance of nearly seven feet, and came to the bottom of the target ship, clinging to it like a leech.

For fear of getting his clothes wet, he only wore an inner jacket.Although the river water is icy cold, but he has deep inner strength and is not afraid of the cold. When he put his ears on the hull and listened to it, the space of the whole ship and the sound sources of different parts came alive in his mind immediately. At high speed in the blink of an eye, he tracked Xiangyushan's hateful voice from the cabin part.He only heard him say: "This matter still needs to be discussed in the long term. If Li Shimin is given any chance to counterattack, all previous efforts will be in vain."

Xu Ziling was stunned when he heard this, why did Xiang Yushan get involved in the conspiracy against Li Shimin? A female voice said softly: "Young Master Xiang, is there still time to make a long-term plan now? Everything is ready, as long as we follow the plan, Li Shimin will not escape the deadline." Xu Ziling vaguely sensed that the voice was someone he knew.I can't remember who it is for a while, and when I feel distressed.Another strange and deep male voice said, "What are you worried about, Brother Xiang?" Xiang Yushan murmured slightly, and sighed: "I don't know why I am always a little restless, but I can't tell what the real reason is."

The woman laughed and said, "Is Mr. Xiang feeling uneasy because of those two boys, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling?" The woman said softly: "These two boys are indeed the best at making trouble. But Chang'an is different from Luoyang. They are too busy looking for treasures, and they still have the ability to meddle in their own affairs." Xu Ziling was shocked, and finally guessed that the speaker was the ambiguous Rong Jiaojiao, and the man was naturally the mysterious and sneaky "shadow swordsman" Yang Xuyan like Shi Zhixuan. Why would you lie?Yang Xuyan and Rong Jiaojiao are basically inside the city, not outside the city.If he hadn't caught up with Xiang Yushan by mistake, he would have been tricked by her.

Up to now, he still doesn't know what the relationship between the three is.When Yang Xuyan assassinated Xiangyu Mountain in Baling back then, he and Kou Zhong all relied on himself and Kou Zhong to help him out of the disaster, he should be an enemy rather than a friend. Xiang Yushan sighed: "The problem is that I understand them better than you. I'm sure they are in Chang'an right now. But where are they hiding? What are they doing? We can't even touch their shadows." Rong Jiaojiao said bitterly: "If they touch their shadows, they would have been torn to pieces long ago. Chang'an will surely have someone to help them, otherwise they wouldn't be able to hide so secretly." Xu Ziling was surprised, if Rong Jiaojiao was one of Zhu Yuyan's apprentices, how could he not know about them.But listening to her tone, it really came from the heart.Could it be that Wan Wan deliberately concealed it from her, or that her relationship with the Yingui faction was slightly different. Yang Xuyan said in a deep voice: "Of course we won't take these two boys lightly, but we don't need to worry too much. Li Yuanji is searching for them with all his strength, as long as they show up and hide, we promise not to leave Chang'an. Brother Xiang can do it Get rid of these two confidantes." Xu Ziling secretly thought that if Yang Xuchan's words came from the heart, then he might not know that there is a relic of the Demon Sect Xunbao Evil Emperor in the treasury. This is also reasonable, with Shi Zhixuan's style, he would not let his apprentice know about it. Xiang Yushan suddenly asked: "Have those firearms arrived yet?" Xu Ziling's heart was shocked, as if he had grasped something vaguely, but he couldn't say it in detail for a while. Rong Jiaojiao said: "We can hand over the firearm to you at the latest on the fourth day of the lunar new year. Is there any problem?" Xiang Yushan said decisively: "Of course there is no problem with receiving it on the fourth day of the lunar new year, but it must not be later than this day, otherwise we will withdraw from the whole plan." Yang Xuyan said: "We understand this, and we will keep in close contact in the future." Xu Ziling left the bottom of the boat and swam towards Kou Zhong and Hou Xibai's boat. Xu Ziling climbed into the small boat parked in the shade between the two big boats, and said with a smile, "Brother Hou's luck is quite good, at least half of the seal of immortality is in your pocket." Kou Zhong was stunned and said: "Yang Xuyan is on the boat." While exercising, Xu Ziling nodded and said: "The Rong Yao girl is also on the boat. The best thing is that there are only about ten people on the boat besides them. Listening to the breathing is only for ordinary martial arts experts or those who don't know martial arts, so there is no danger." Kou Zhong propped up the boat to a position where he could overlook Rong Jiaojiao's big boat, and saw Xiangyushan returning to shore by boat. At this time, the number of tourists on both sides of the strait has dropped significantly, and many people are rushing to watch the performance of the Nuo dance to drive ghosts into the river. Hou Xibai said excitedly: "Yang Xuyan is still on the boat." Kou Zhong watched Xu Ziling put on his clothes, and said with a smile: "The lonely man and widow are on the boat, and we meet again after a long absence. Yang Xuyan is more sexual, what will the two of you do on this festive night?" Xu Ziling said happily: "Isn't it clearest to listen to it?" Hou Xibai said: "Wait a minute! This may be my only golden opportunity to get back the printed scroll. Do I need to plan carefully?" Kou Zhong said, "What did Ziling say?" Xu Ziling said: "I only have four words to say bluntly, that is, 'Attack the unprepared'. Yang Xuyan never dreamed that he would let us know his whereabouts, and there is no defense on the boat. As long as we can successfully sneak into the boat, we can enter the boat." You can attack and retreat, you can adapt to the situation, and you don’t need to plan at all.” Kou Zhong smiled and said, "It's probably like this, but I have a more brilliant proposal." Hou Xibai asked with great interest: "What proposal?" Kou Zhong held back his smile and said triumphantly: "Yang Xuyan has always pretended to come and go without a trace, this time we come to deal with him in the same way, and print half of the scroll with the method of leaving no shadow and no trace. Steal it, what do you two think?" Xu Ziling smiled and said, "Let's talk about it when we get on the boat!" Kou Zhong urged the boat to go, and under the cover of the nearby ships, he dived towards the target ship. Xu Ziling and Hou Xibai raised their vigilance.Monitor enemy ships, as long as someone looks at them from the ship, they will never be able to hide from their eyes. Hou Xibai said in a low voice: "The lights on the boat are bright, if we climb aboard, we will be easily spotted." Kou Zhong laughed and said, "Young Master Hou rarely do sneaky things, but Young Master Ling and I are experts in this field. Do you see those cabin windows? Every window is an entrance, understand?" While speaking, the boat made a big bend, the bow of the boat was facing the stern of the enemy ship, and sailed in this direction, unless the opponent had someone standing at the stern, it was impossible to find them. Xu Ziling suddenly sighed to himself: "Why don't we seem to have thought about killing Xiangyushan, or even following him to see where he is staying?" Kou Zhong was startled and said, "Just to remind you, this matter is really weird. Sigh, although I wish I could chop him into meat sauce, but frankly speaking, I'm really afraid of facing this problem. He is Xiao Lingzhong's father after all. Why? How about doing it?" Hou Xibai interjected, "As long as he smashes his Xiang family's outrageous human-trafficking business and ruins Xiang Yushan's reputation, won't it cause him more pain and sorrow than killing him?" Kou Zhong retracted his oars, and glided purely with internal strength.They crossed the river more than ten feet silently, and came to the side of the enemy ship's back bank, and there was another big ship moored on the other side, so no one on the bank could see their actions. Hou Xibai took out three black cloth hoods, and said in a low voice, "Brother Lei prepared these for us earlier, and they are unexpectedly useful." Xu Ziling stretched out his palms to stick to the hull of the big boat, and absorbed his kung fu, stabilizing the boat. An expert like Oak Yang Xuyan, as long as the boat hits the hull lightly, he will immediately be alert. Kou Zhong took the hood, put his ears to the hull of the boat, listened for a while, then frowned and said, "Why is there no voice from that boy and Rong Yao Nu?" Xu Ziling also performed eavesdropping techniques, although some people's voices were occasionally out of tune, but it had nothing to do with Yang Xuyan and Rong Jiaojiao.Qi said: "This matter is unreasonable. Even if they don't talk about love, at least they will discuss and discuss the matter of Xiangyu Mountain." Hou Xibai whispered: "I think of a possibility." The two stared at him, telling him to continue. Hou Xibai said: "Since Laojun Temple established its sect, it has been separating men and women. Regardless of the sect, they are all good at the way of harmonizing yin and yang, so-called 'yang flow' and 'yin flow'. There is a kind of It's called "Xuanmu Maiden Art", which comes from Lao Tzu's "the god of the valley is not dead, it is called Xuanmu. The gate of Xuanmu is to tune the roots of heaven and earth". This exercise must be practiced by men and women. When practicing, the breath must be cut off. Breathing back and forth. In this case, of course, not even the sound of breathing can be heard." Kou Zhongxi said: "Is this evil skill practiced out of pure light?" Hou Xibai smiled wryly and said, "I just heard Master Shi say it, but I don't know the details." Xu Ziling said: "In this way, Yaoyao Rong herself should be from Laojunmiao. The reason why she became Zhu Yuyan's apprentice is just a transaction between the two factions. Kou Zhongdao: "Did Lao Shi say anything else?" Hou Xibai said: "Master Shi only explained the characteristics of the "Xuanmai Girl Method" from the theory. He said, "The mysterious one is wonderful, and the female one is the one who has received and can be a living being. It is the root of spirit and the valley of nothingness." , you must seek it from within your body, not from him.” Kou Zhong thought about it for a while, then said: "Since it has something to do with men and women "shou" and "birth", it may refer to the intercourse between men and women. Sigh: it's useless to think too much, let's get on the boat and have a look." Xu Ziling asked, "What about this small boat?" Kou Zhongdao: "I'm sorry its owner has to do it again. It's a matter of sinking it." Xu Ziling exerted strength with both feet.Send out Yin energy, and the footsteps will sink immediately.Hou Xibai said in astonishment: "Zi Ling's kung fu has improved a lot, no wonder even Mr. Huang is at a disadvantage in your hands." Kou Zhong put his ear to the hull again, and suddenly rose up. When Hou Xibai looked at him, he opened a cabin window with his hands, and slipped in. His movements were as nimble as a ghost. Water began to rush in from the cracks in the plank. Kou Zhong poked his head out from the cabin window, and made a "safe" gesture. Xu Ziling said: "Brother Hou goes first." Hou Xibai swam up against the wall, got into the room and joined Kou Zhong. Kou Zhong withdrew his head protruding from the door, closed the door, and whispered to Hou Xibai who came by his side: "This ship's owner's cabin is divided into three floors. On the middle floor, our highest floor is gorgeously decorated. Boy Yang and Rong Yaonv are fixed in a certain room on this floor. Looking at the structure, the cabin at the end of the corridor should be the largest, and your seal of immortality should be there .” Hou Xibai said in surprise: "You are only a little faster than me, why did you find out so many things so quickly?" Kou Zhongdao: "This is the advantage of taking more boats. There are only a few patterns to come and go." At this time, someone walked by the door, it sounded like a maidservant, one of them sighed: "On the good night, I can only be stuck on the boat to watch other people's fun. If it is in Luoyang, it will be fun tonight!" Another servant girl replied: "People will look good on you. Why don't you go and see if Uncle Xie has prepared the ginseng soup? Then go to the boat to watch the fireworks." The footsteps go away. Xu Ziling came behind the two of them, frowned and said, "If they're practicing some kind of 'Girls' Dafa', there's no reason for them to make ginseng soup." Kou Zhong calculated silently, then suddenly opened the door and stepped out. When Hou Xibai was startled, Xu Ziling patted him and followed Kou Zhong out of the room. Hou Xibai had no choice but to follow them out of the room. Suddenly, he felt that whether he could succeed tonight depended on whether their sneaky skills were as good as Kou Zhong boasted.
