Chapter 409 Chapter One

Xu Ziling saw Kou Zhong in Hou Xibai's secret lair, the latter had a complicated expression and frowned. Kou Zhong managed to lift his spirits, and asked, "Where's Brother Lei?" Xu Ziling sat down beside him and said, "He went to investigate about Yang Wenqian and Mrs. Hong, what happened to you?" Kou Zhongdao: "There are many things that happened! I went to the Persian Temple to look for Yun Shuai, but I fell into the trap carefully set by Yang Xuyan. Fortunately, he didn't expect me to be so easy to be fooled. Everyone was caught off guard and let me take advantage of it." It's cheap, and I contacted Yun Shuai."

After explaining again, he said: "Shuai Yun wants to see Li Shimin, I promise to give him an answer before this evening, can you make an arrangement." Xu Ziling said: "That's not a problem. Since you didn't reveal your identity, why do you look like a defeated rooster?" Kou Zhong sighed: "I now know that choices have to pay a price, when you can only make one choice, that kind of feeling is really uncomfortable, alas!" Xu Ziling was at a loss when he heard it, and asked in puzzlement, "What are you talking about?" Kou Zhong smiled wryly and said, "I was talking nonsense, and I didn't express my meaning. Because the problem is not in making choices, but human beings are creatures full of emotions, they will be troubled by emotions, and they will not be able to withstand temptation."

Xu Ziling understood, and frowned, "What happened between you and Shang Xiufang?" Kou Zhongdao: "For the time being, there is nothing wrong with it. I just left a tail. The problem is that she is clearly interested in me, but I can't bear to refuse. Frankly speaking, she is indeed very charming." Xu Ziling remembered last night that Hong Fu Nu said about Shang Xiufang's "heart belongs to her".I wondered if Shang Cainv's "Long Lovesickness, Long Time Remembrance" was written for Kou Zhong? No one knows Kou Zhong better than him.He is someone who puts his career first.The four beauties who were related to him fell in love with Li Xiuning at first sight, and the result was the most miserable!There is a high possibility of becoming an enemy in the future.

For Song Yuzhi, it started with seven points of utilitarianism, three points of admiration, and then gradually fell in love. As for Yun Yuzhen and Dong Shuni, who have physical relations with him, the latter is purely acting in a hot-blooded and exciting environment, with desire but no love. For Yun Yuzhen, it is much more complicated. For Kou Zhong, Yun Yuzhen was a high-ranking image before Kou Zhong made his fortune, and being able to possess her in his mind represents the lofty status of a higher class, which is a delicate psychology. Now his relationship with Song Yuzhi is very stable, but he is still uncertain because of Shang Xiufang's favor, hesitating and suffering, which shows how much Shang Xiufang tempted him.

Even as a brother, he still finds it difficult to help in this kind of relationship between a man and a woman. Seeing him thinking in a daze, Kou Zhong wondered, "Why don't you call me weak-willed?" Xu Ziling said angrily: "What's the use of scolding you? I ask you not to get involved in the troubles of fighting for the world, will you listen?" Kou Zhong protested: "How can these two things be mixed up. Sigh! Don't think about such troublesome things for the time being. What good program is there today?" Xu Ziling briefly explained the situation, and said: "I think the first person to deal with is Shi Zhixuan, and we can't gain much advantage by going head-to-head. But it is still possible to deal with his charging pawn, 'Fat Jia' Anlong."

Kou Zhongdao: "Killing An Long is imperative. It must be carefully planned and hit in one hit, otherwise it will be difficult to have another chance. You have fought against Shi Zhixuan, according to your estimation, whether Yun Shuai's lightness ability can restrain Shi Zhixuan The 'Phantom Magic Body Technique'?" Xu Ziling frowned and said: "It's very difficult to judge. If Yun Shuai and Shi Zhixuan fight to a certain destination, maybe Yun Shuai can win. But when it comes to dodging and moving, Shi Zhixuan will definitely win, plus his immortality Yin Qigong, we really can't keep him."

Kou Zhong's eyes lit up, and he said: "If it's in the plains and wilderness, don't we have a good chance of killing him?" Xu Ziling said unhappily: "First of all, you have to break his seal of immortality. How do the three of us compare to the four great monks? Tell yourself!" Kou Zhong said dejectedly: "Is there really no way to kill him? The problem is that the entrance to the treasure house is most likely in the abbot's room in Wulou Temple, so we have to try our luck and hope that he is not in the temple when we go in." Xu Ziling said: "In order to hide and hide, Shi Zhixuan will not leave the temple unless necessary."

Kou Zhong felt a big headache, and said with a wry smile: "Our good luck seems to be in the past. Before, even if we had no clue about the treasure house, there was always hope. But now the only clue is Shi Zhixuan's lair. Sigh! I suddenly feel very sad. Tired! It would be great if my mother could explain clearly that day." Xu Ziling looked up at the beams of the roof and thought hard, "Yuema Bridge? Why does Mother only mention Yuema Bridge? If the treasure house is in Wulou Temple, she can be said to be the Wulou Temple in Chang'an, that's enough." Kou Zhongju said in shock: "It makes sense! We call this 'catch the wrong god', what is the problem?"

Xu Ziling's eyes were shining brightly, and when he looked at him, their eyes met, and they trembled at the same time. Kou Zhong took a deep breath and said, "We are so stupid! We only know how to swim around the bottom of the bridge, but we didn't conduct a thorough search of Yuema Bridge." Xu Ziling said: "The most important point is, if the entrance is really in the abbot's room of Wulou Temple, even my mother can't get in." Kou Zhong nodded in agreement, but he was puzzled and said, "But why does Wulou Temple have the architectural style of Master Lu?"

Xu Ziling sighed: "Maybe I read it wrong! No! I shouldn't be wrong. Especially the overhanging form of the bucket arch must be the handwriting of Master Lu. He once drew illustrations in the architectural remains, and the pattern decoration is even more beautiful. It’s just this family, there’s no other semicolon.” Kou Zhong lifted his spirits and said, "It's useless to think too much. After killing Anlong, we will explore the bridge in the dark and search brick by stone. There is no need to worry about other things." Xu Ziling murmured: "Are we asking too much? You have just revealed your identity. With Li Yuanji's aggressive personality, you will do everything possible to find us out, but we still want to kill Anlong blatantly."

Kou Zhongdao: "This is called seeking victory from danger. We are surrounded by enemies. If we can't take the initiative, we will only be waiting to be cut off. The best strategy now is to make Shi Zhixuan believe that An Long is a member of the Yingui sect. So, is there any way to deceive Shi Zhixuan, a villain?" Xu Ziling smiled wryly and said, "Unless you understand the Great Law of Heavenly Demons and do not let anyone see you when you do it, how can you blame Soochow?" At this time Lei Jiu pointed back and said: "There is news, Yang Wengan is really cunning." The two were overjoyed when they heard that, and hurriedly poured tea and water, and waited for him to sit down. Lei Jiu pointed to Xu Ziling and said, "Do you still remember Li Xiong?" Xu Ziling nodded and said: "He is the deputy leader of Jingzhaolian. He once led his men to grab Xingchanglong's salt goods and was injured by me." Lei Jiu pointed out: "People from the Hongnong Gang have been watching his movement secretly, and finally detected a batch of salt shipments from unknown sources, which were sent to Hongnong to be accepted by Gu Tianzhang of Guangsheng, and then transported to Guanzhong. .” Then Shengxing is the deadly enemy of Changlong. Kou Zhong asked, "What's wrong with this batch of salt?" Lei Jiu pointed out: "Of course it's a fake salt product. It's full of arrows. The bow and arrows should be transported separately." Xu Ziling said: "Why would people from the Hongnong Gang be suspicious?" Lei Jiu pointed out: "It's all because Gu Tianzhang came to Hongnong to preside over the delivery in person, and the Hongnong Gang guessed that there was a problem." Kou Zhong said: "Where will this batch of goods be delivered in Guanzhong?" Lei Jiu pointed out: "After entering the customs, I lost my shadow, because I was never a local. The Hongnong Gang, which has great powers in Hongnong, has to rely on other friendly gangs when they arrive in Guanzhong. For fear of overthrowing others, Chen Shi dare not invite other people. helper." Chen Shi is the head of the Hongnong Gang. Lei Jiuzhi added: "It was quite a turning point to find out that there was something wrong with this batch of salt shipments. In order to deal with the Xiang family, the Hongnong Gang never let go of their surveillance on the Baling Gang, but they accidentally discovered several people who had always been related to Xiao Xian. The close gang sent people to manage and take care of the salt cargo along the way, only to find out that the salt cargo was actually arrows." Kou Zhongdao: "This is getting more and more fun! Shen Faxing sent the firearms to the Yingui faction, and then the Yingui faction transported them into Guanzhong; Xiao Xian supplied arrows to Yang Wenqian, and Xiang Yushan personally went out to help Yang Wengan fight against the enemy. If the firearm hadn't fallen into our hands, and Li Shimin didn't know it, maybe Yang Wenqian could really evade the eyes and ears of Tiance Mansion and kill Li Xiaozi in one fell swoop." Xu Ziling said: "This is called another plan if one plan fails. The host behind the scenes should be Shi Zhixuan. He planned to cooperate with Song Jingang and the Turkic people to kill Li Shimin on the way back from Luoyang, but failed. Of course Li Shimin Therefore, the vigilance was heightened, and Shi Zhixuan had no choice but to arrange a large-scale sneak attack. If we assume this, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji should have been kept in the dark and didn't know about it." Lei Jiu pointed out: "But if Li Shimin can really be killed, Li Jiancheng will cooperate with Yang Wenqian, and force Li Yuan to abdicate and ascend the dragon seat himself. Li Shimin has gone, who dares to object." Kou Zhong said with a smile: "It's a pity that we messed up the situation. This time Yang Wengan is destined to end badly." Lei Jiu pointed out: "Don't get complacent too early. Just now Li Yuanji summoned the leaders of all the local gangs and said that the two of you have sneaked into Chang'an, and ordered them to mobilize their forces to find you out. It must be because of Yang Xuyan last night. The loss of the seal made Li Yuanji vigilant." After Kou Zhong told the real reason, he snorted coldly: "As long as he doesn't suspect me, he won't be able to find me. On the contrary, Yong Qin who is young Ling will be more dangerous." Lei Jiuzhi slapped the table and said: "I still want to make a difference. If Ziling turns back to nothing, it will be seamless." Xu Ziling said with a smile: "The reason why Zhong Shao can deceive people is because no one thinks he understands medical skills. As for my younger brother, no one will associate the identity of a gambler with me or Kou Zhong. Especially Xiang Yushan, who knows better We don't know anything about gambling. Sigh! It seems that we are going to join in the fun with Madam Hong. With her cover, I can avoid people's eyes and ears." He laughed and said: "Don't forget that I am not only Gong Chenchun, but also famous all over the world The 'Ba Saber' Yueshan." Kou Zhong concluded: "There are two most urgent things in front of us. The first is of course to find out where the treasure house is hidden, and the second is to kill An Long. After these two things are done, we can make a big plan and leave this dangerous place full of dangers as soon as possible. " Lei Jiu pointed out: "Let me take care of Anlong's side. Xiaozhong had better go back to Shafu. You have a lot of friends now. Someone came to pay New Year's greetings to you but you disappeared mysteriously. That's not good!" Turning to Xu Ziling, he said, "Why don't you go to see Mrs. Hong today to see what she has planned. The situation is critical, and I will do some tricks at the interface between your fake face and your real face. It might work if necessary. " After finishing, the three of them split up. Just as Kou Zhong stepped into Sha's house, Sha Fu greeted him and said, "Madam Li is waiting for you in the east hall." Kou Zhong was stunned and said, "Who is Mrs. Li?" Shafu said: "It's General Li Shiji's wife." Only then did Kou Zhong realize that it was Shen Luoyan who came to look for him, he secretly complained of a headache, but said: "Why is she looking for me? I don't know her! The Chinese New Year shouldn't be the day to seek me for medical treatment!" Shafu smiled and said: "This villain doesn't know either. Miss Wu is chatting with her, and I heard that Li Shiji is a big celebrity nowadays, with military power in his hands. Master Mo wants to give his wife some face." Outside the door of the East Hall, Sha Fu said: "There are so many people who come to pay New Year's greetings today, and the villain has to go outside to do some shopping. Master Mo will go to see the second young master when he is free. He said he has something to look for you." Kou Zhong agreed, and stepped into the east hall. After introducing the two of them, Sha Zhijing, who accompanied the absent-minded Shen Luoyan, said with a smile: "Madam Li is here to pay New Year's greetings sincerely to Mr. Li, and there are some medical questions that I would like to ask Mr. about." Then he found an excuse to leave, and when there were only two of them left, Kou Zhong smiled wryly and said, "Mrs. Li knows that it is very dangerous to come here to find my younger brother." Shen Luoyan said lightly: "You play so well, who would doubt you. Your abilities are always unexpected, and Luoyan has long seen it." Kou Zhong was aware of her wayward and self-willed style, and sighed: "Madam Li, what advice do you have?" Shen Luoyan looked out of the window at the fine snow that was still falling intermittently, showing a tired look, and her face was a little haggard and lost that had never appeared on her body.Kou Zhong thought of how she used to fight with Li Mi in the north and south, compared to the scene where she was willing to be a wife and gave up all official positions and positions, what else could she say to comfort her. Shen Luoyan sighed out of interest, and said softly, "Where is Ziling going? Are you avoiding me on purpose?" Kou Zhong was taken aback. Under such circumstances, Shen Luoyan's entanglement with Xu Ziling, who was already a married woman, had unimaginable consequences. Shen Luoyan's face turned cold, and said: "Just now there was news from the Tiance Mansion: Ziling left a letter in the name of Gong Chenchun and left without saying goodbye. This matter immediately brought trouble to the emperor. I thought King Qin would be severely punished, but the emperor did not blame him. Come down, it's nothing." Kou Zhong thought that Li Yuan was dealing with the siege of the three giants of the Demon Sect, so he would be interested in taking care of such trivial matters. Shen Luoyan looked away at him, slightly annoyed, "Why did the eloquent young commander suddenly become dumb?" Kou Zhong really searched his brains, but couldn't find a word to deal with her, so he was speechless for a while. Shen Luoyan smiled coquettishly. In the past, when she talked and laughed and used soldiers, the arrogance of being a woman who refused to give way to a man seemed to reappear on her body. She squinted Kou Zhong's charming look and said, "Why don't Luoyan go to the young marshal's banner to be a horse?" Former pawns, or waving flags and shouting from the sidelines, watching the young generals fight chess and dominate the world." Kou Zhong felt a sense of emotion in his heart, although he knew Shen Luoyan was joking, but he was not without seriousness.As Li Mi's military adviser for many years, Shen Luoyan has always been loyal to Li Mi and regards him as the Allah who can unify the world. Once this unshakable belief is burst like a bubble by the cruel facts, one can imagine the frustration and decadence in it. For Kou Zhong, the arch enemy who defeated Li Mi, Shen Luoyan has changed from hatred to respect, and changed to another attitude. Until now, Kou Zhong still didn't know what to say. Shen Luoyan sighed again, his eyes moved out of the window, and said quietly: "To tell you the truth, when the army was defeated, I really didn't want to believe that the world was still bright and beautiful the moment before, and it was completely different the next moment. The same look. Everything has completely different meanings. The past and the future have become worthless! At that time, I only felt that my limbs were weak and my heart was in a mess. No one knew what it was like without going through that miserable situation. It's over ! It's all over." Kou Zhong wondered if he faced Shen Luoyan's crushing defeat, would he feel the same way? Shen Luoyan's beautiful eyes were covered with mist, and she was confused. The previous shrewdness was now replaced by confusion. Kou Zhong felt that what was facing him was no longer a lively and charming military division, but a body that had lost its vitality and only had a beautiful appearance. Shen Luoyan said lightly, with a bit of a bitter expression on his back, and said in a low voice: "I keep reminding myself: I have to be strong; but I know that the general situation is over, and Mi Gong, who has never been defeated, will behave like this after a fiasco. I'm in trouble, I'm at a loss, I miss a good chance of rehabilitating. All hope is lost, I have to marry Shiji, do you understand? The slaves have never said these words to Ziling, but they can't help but confide in you. Is it strange, young commander? " Kou Zhong clumsily said: "Because we are old friends who have known each other for many years." Shen Luoyan coldly snorted unabashedly: "Friend? You are my nemesis. That's all! Everything is in the past. I want to see Ziling again, can you make arrangements?" Kou Zhong smiled wryly and said, "My little brother just exposed his whereabouts and was almost slaughtered by Li Yuanji. Now the whole city is in a commotion. Can Big Sister Shen reunite with Ziling after the incident in Chang'an?" Shen Luoyan's eyes flashed brightly, and he said: "Do you think I don't know about this? The young commander is indeed powerful. Da Zhi, who has always regarded himself as higher than the sky, actually let the young commander break out of the encirclement and escape without losing half of the light." Mao, this matter immediately spread throughout the city. Until now, people in Chang'an City have realized that the young commander's reputation is well-deserved." Kou Zhong said sincerely: "This is just a fluke, I hope there will be no next encounter like this." Shen Luoyan shrugged and said, "I still insist on seeing Ziling, what does the young commander say?" Kou Zhong said distressedly: "Don't forget that you are Mrs. Li, and going to see Ziling like this is not good for anyone." Shen Luoyan said fiercely: "I don't care! Tell Ziling that when he dies tonight, I will wait for him at the ferry in and out of Yong'an Canal." After saying that, he ignored Kou Zhong's reaction and walked out of the hall.
