Chapter 435 Chapter One

After the exit of the secret passage was closed, the two left the chute immersed in the canal water and sat down next to the wall, their essence almost exhausted. The fierce fighting, chasing, and diving in the water had consumed a lot of their physical strength and real energy. Kou Zhong supported his right hand with his bent knee, and gasped, "Tonight is terrible, and I even boasted to that kid, Da Zhi, that if you don't go to the appointment tonight, you will be worse than a pig or a dog. Sigh! To be a pig Being a dog is still a trivial matter, I hope Brother Yun is a lucky man, and he can escape successfully!"

Their original plan was for Yun Shuai to disguise himself as Lei Jiuzhi, and rely on the evil emperor's relic to control the initiative to deal with Zhao Deyan and Xiang Yushan.Now Yun Shuai's good or bad luck is uncertain, and the plan will be difficult to implement.If one of Gao Zhandao and others were to pretend to be Lei Jiuzhi, it would only harm him. If Hou Xibai was still there, he would be another suitable candidate. Xu Ziling said: "Then how to deal with the evil emperor's relic?" Kou Zhongdao: "There are two solutions, one is to let the relic stay where it is; the other is to give it to Shi Feixuan as a favor from Ling Shao."

Xu Ziling sighed: "Do you think Shi Feixuan can be bribed? After accepting the gift, I will let you, a tiger, go back to the mountain to make trouble." Kou Zhongdao: "I didn't think about this, but I was afraid that it would be difficult for you to explain to the fairy." Xu Ziling said decisively: "I have nothing to do with Concubine Shixuan anymore. The two solutions you just solved are not the best solution. Only when the various factions of the Demon Sect get overwhelmed by the competition for relics, can we have a chance to leave safely." Kou Zhong nodded and said: "That's right! It's a pity to let go of such a golden opportunity that Zhao Deyan, Zhu Yuyan and Shi Zhixuan can fight to the death. Does Young Master Ling still think that we should keep the appointment as scheduled?"

Xu Ziling said: "That's exactly the case. If there is no Lei Jiuzhi, there will be no Lei Jiuzhi. We can adapt to the situation at that time. As long as the relic is in our hands, then they will be brave." Kou Zhong jumped up and said, "Time is running out, let's see how Zhan Dao and the others are progressing." Back in the warehouse, Gao Zhandao and others gathered in the secret passage leading to the outside of the city. They were very busy, but the operation of Yunbao was coming to an end. Gao Zhandao excitedly explained to the two the plan they came up with after careful consideration: Temporarily not taking any weapons with them, but leaving none of the large amount of property, mainly gold.

Gao Zhandao said: "The exit outside the city is well hidden. We hide the treasures there and transport them away in batches one by one. All the brothers will be divided into three groups, and each group will act independently. They don't know the method and route of others' transportation." , then even if there is an insider, we can minimize the loss. However, Feng Yi and I think that the chance of the Brotherhood's rebellion is not great." Kou Zhongdao: "How to transport it away?" Gao Zhandao said happily: "Over the years, we have tried all kinds of methods of smuggling goods, and we have chosen the safest one to send things to Pengliang by water or land. As long as the Jingzhao alliance fails, Guanzhong will inevitably be in chaos. If we are in the group, we can take advantage of it. In addition, the two masters can draw each other's attention away, and our chances of success are very high, at least we can transport most of the treasures away."

Xu Ziling nodded and said: "The chances of success are indeed very high, because now everyone thinks that we entered Baoshan and returned empty-handed, so they turned their attention to the future actions of the two of us." By the way, tell Gao Zhandao about "there is a warehouse under the warehouse". Gao Zhandao rejoiced and said: "Then it will be more secure. We are most afraid of people from Jingzhaolian. They are not only powerful in Guanzhong, but also have connections with gangs inside and outside the Guanzhong. They are also very familiar with our Tongxing society. Any action we take is sure to It’s hard to avoid their eyes and ears. Fortunately, they have this mistake and can’t take care of themselves, so we don’t have to worry about them.”

Kou Zhongdao: "The situation is still not overly optimistic. Li Shimin appointed Pang Yu and Li Shiji to deal with us. They will definitely mobilize local gangs to pay close attention to our every move. Once they find out that the situation is different, they may hide it. Can't live with the secrets of the real treasure house." Gao Zhandao said confidently: "When we designed the operation of smuggling goods, we had thought about this situation. At that time, we thought that we were transporting a large number of weapons, not gold treasures that are easy to hide. Unless God deliberately opposes us, otherwise we should no problem."

Kou Zhong nodded and said: "Since Zhan Dao is so sure, everything will be done according to your method." After Gao Zhandao left, Kou Zhong said, "What do you think, Young Master Ling?" Xu Ziling said: "It is imperative to be on guard against others. It is wise to take all the belongings away at once when occupying the road." Kou Zhong nodded in agreement, although more than a dozen brothers who knew the secret of the real treasure house were loyal, but the temptation of the treasure was too great, who dares to guarantee that no one would sneak back in the future, just take half a box of gold, enough for a lifetime Flowers are endless.

As for the weapons left in the treasury, unless they were fighting against the world, it would not be worth much to sell one or half of them. Xu Ziling smiled and said: "Don't worry! Just look at Zhandao and they have made Tongxing Society so impressive, and they have become the leaders of Guanzhong Water Transport in just two years. You should know that they are outstanding talents. And the most important point is that Pang Yu The investigation of us and Tongxing Society must not be publicized, lest people from Jingzhaolian or even Jiancheng and Yuanji will be alerted, so they cannot mobilize all local gangs to participate, and the threat is still limited.”

Kou Zhong said happily: "After Jing Ling's analysis, I also feel that there is a great chance of success. Ha! In your opinion, will Ning Daoqi appear tonight?" Xu Ziling sighed: "Since Concubine Shixuan misunderstood that I lied to her, I wouldn't disturb the old man." Kou Zhongdao: "Didn't she ask Ning Daoqi to deal with me? Tonight will be the best opportunity. If we two escape experts are allowed to leave Chang'an, it will not be easy to attach us again." Xu Ziling said: "You have to ask Shifei Xuan or Pang Yu for this." Kou Zhong sighed: "I really hope that when Concubine Shixuan finds out that the relic is real, I can see her expression. Our young master Ling is an upright man, how can we lie to a... hey... a fairy."

Xu Ziling knew that he wanted to say something like "a woman he loves deeply", so he just changed his words temporarily, and said angrily: "It's almost time, let's talk about it after taking out the relic!" Compared with the previous two nights of the New Year's Eve, Chang'an City is full of excitement tonight. The sluices leaving the city at both ends of the Yong’an Canal were lowered, and the lights along the bank were so bright that the fish swimming in the canal were clearly visible. The snowflakes falling from the sky reflected the light of torches and wind lanterns. The scale is far beyond the comparison of fireworks that disappear in an instant. Both sides of the strait are full of Li Yuanji's subordinates and Chang Lin's army. Li Jiancheng was also alarmed to personally preside over the Souhe operation. Dazhi, who is the most unwilling to participate, has no choice but to accompany Li Jiancheng. Trapped in Hanoi, may break the promise. The Changlin Army, which was replaced by the water, searched underwater section by section of the river, and all the ships moored on the shore were driven away, and no one was spared. Since Li Yuanji was sure that the two of them had not left Yong'an Canal, the search was done cautiously and patiently, and the surrounding streets and alleys were blocked, and the high places were full of archers. The attention of the Tang army in the city was concentrated on this large canal that runs through the north and the south. Instead, it was easier for Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling to sneak out of the city through the secret path and then sneak back into the city. Unknowingly, they came to the roof of a mansion of an unknown dignitary near the backyard of the foreign hotel, spying on the situation around the foreign hotel from a distance. Kou Zhong put the copper jar containing the evil emperor's relics on the back of the house, and said in a low voice: "This thing is really evil, and it makes you feel like your heart is jumping from time to time." Xu Ziling was staring into the distance, and said: "If my prediction is correct, I wish the witch and the witch should hide somewhere, and try to stop us before we enter the foreign hotel." Kou Zhong laughed and said, "They may think that the relic is not in our hands, or that we are still trapped under the river. Even if there are no such misjudgments, at least they think that we will carry Brother Lei here so hard that even Calculations and deployment errors." Xu Ziling smiled and said: "Our treasure hunt this time is a coincidence to take advantage of everything, let's go!" The two jumped up and shot towards the long street like shooting stars. After a few ups and downs, they came to the outside of the backyard wall of the hotel. One turned over and landed safely in the courtyard without stopping. Zhao Deyan let out a long laugh, appeared on the steps outside the door of the small building, and said salutingly, "You two are indeed believers. Mr. Zhao admires him so much, but I don't know where Mr. Lei is?" Kou Zhong put the copper jar in front of his feet, hugged his hands, and said leisurely: "I'll talk about this matter later, can the national teacher please come out and see the expert who can relieve the poisonous punishment of 'seven needles restraining the gods', so as to calm our hearts ?” There is no light in the entire hotel, and the constant snowflakes are falling, which adds to the feeling of desolation, cold and danger. Zhao Deyan looked Xu Ziling up and down, and said calmly: "There is no problem with this, as long as the authenticity of the relic is verified, I will invite the person out for the two of you to look at." Kang Jiaoli's voice came from behind and said, "The holy relic must be fake, otherwise there is no need to cover it with a copper pot, and I won't bring Lei Jiuzhi." Kou Zhong didn't turn his head back, he laughed and said, "Whether it's true or not, you can prove it immediately. The problem is that you have no sincerity at all, otherwise why invite people out to meet and make excuses." Zhao Deyan sneered dumbly and said: "When I, Zhao Deyan, ruled the world, you hadn't been reincarnated yet, and now you dare to lie to me. I'm going to teach you whether you can come or not." Before the conversation was finished, more than a dozen Turkic masters rushed out from the rear and Xiaolouhe, besieging the two of them heavily. Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling are still calm and composed, and they have no intention of running away, which makes Zhao Deyan very puzzled, and faintly feels that it is the other party who has the upper hand. Zhao Deyan said proudly: "In order to avoid other people's gossip, Mr. Zhao can give you a chance to fight a fair duel, and no one else is allowed to interfere. Whoever of you will accompany me, Zhao Deyan, will play first." Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling secretly shouted loudly, Zhao Deyan's move can be said to eliminate stupidity and finesse, it not only shows that he has the confidence and tolerance to win against any of them, the biggest effect is to prevent the two from breaking out and escaping.Escaping is exactly what the two of them do. Kou Zhong laughed dumbly and said: "We didn't come here today to decide whether to win or lose with Yan Shuai, old man. Don't you even have the time and patience to distinguish the authenticity of the relics?" Kang Jiaoli laughed from behind and said, "After you've been dealt with, even if the copper pots are melted and cast into copper balls, there will be a long time to come, why bother to distinguish the authenticity of the relics, what the young commander said is really funny." Kou Zhong sighed: "Brother Kang seems to have forgotten that I know a little kung fu, just kick it with one foot, it is guaranteed to shake the relics in the jar to pieces, if you don't believe me, just do it!" Xu Ziling smiled and said: "I said earlier that they would not have the sincerity of the transaction, but you don't believe it. Come on! Let's get rid of the relic first, and then try to see if we can break out." Zhao Deyan raised his hand and said, "Wait a minute! Assuming you can prove that the jar is really a holy relic, and everything is still carried out according to the original agreement, Zhao will never break his promise." Kou Zhongdao: "This is easy." Xu Ziling lifted the copper jar from the ground with one hand, while Kou Zhong grasped the lid tightly with both hands, and with a twist of force, there was a "click" sound, and the lid was unlocked. In fact, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling also became nervous, because they had never dared to open the lid to inspect the goods, and they hadn't figured out the mystery inside the jar. As expected of an old fox, Zhao Deyan paid attention not to the copper pot, but to the expressions of the two of them. A group of Turkic masters raised their vigilance to the highest level and stood ready. The courtyard was silent, only the snowflakes kept falling, and the sound of people's voices and water coming from the Yong'an Canal. Kou Zhong showed a bright smile, picked up the whole lid, and the two of them looked into the jar together, both showed stunned expressions, and then you looked at me. Zhao Deyan showed a warm smile, which seemed to be a little mocking, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling exchanged glances, feeling that something was wrong, but they didn't know where the problem was. Completely beyond the two's expectations, Zhao Deyan said, "Do it!" Two black steel chains, as thick as little fingers, came out from Zhao Deyan's left and right sleeves like poisonous snakes. The ends of the chains were diamond-shaped sharp cones, and they stabbed at the two of them as quickly as a shooting star, extremely sinister and vicious. This pair of strange weapons was well-known in both the Demon Gate and the two realms. It was named "Variable Ling Spear". The sharp weapon of the Fear God Soldier is also the nemesis of the sword. If you wrap it around him in a special way, it is almost impossible to escape the fate of being snatched away. The most powerful thing about Zhao Deyan is that he made a move when the two never expected him to make a move, taking advantage of the initiative. Seeing that the Ling gun shot towards the two people's faces, and the surrounding Turks and Kang Jiaoli swarmed up, looking like they were going to tear them apart, Kou Zhong didn't even think about it, he held the cover with his hand. With a wave, the steel cover spun violently, and cut Zhao Deyan's throat with his hand. "Clang"! The moon in the well is difficult to get out of the sheath. Zhao Deyan put his hands together, crossed his spears, and just blocked the lid. Xu Ziling shouted, "Look at me!" With a shake of both hands, thousands of silver points gushed out of the pot and splashed over the thirty or so enemies attacking from all around. Kang Jiaoli and the others thought of Xu Ziling's move, but didn't know what kind of magic weapon the silver dot was, so they retreated one after another, farther than where they were standing just now. Kou Zhong got really angry, and was about to rush over with a knife to meet Zhao Deyan, Zhao Deyan looked at the silver dots on the ground, still in the shape of semi-liquid raindrops, rolling in all directions on the snow-covered ground, and said, "Stop. " The Ling gun was recovered into the sleeve. Kou Zhong stood next to Xu Ziling with a horizontal sword, looking like a god, and said angrily: "Stop your mother's hand, not only will you not get the relic of the evil emperor tonight, I will kill you as a dog, and I will teach you that you will never be able to return to Turkic status." What is the national teacher of Lao Shizi?" Xu Ziling stood with the pot in his right hand, with a calm demeanor, he didn't care about the powerful enemies surrounding him. Hearing Kou Zhong scolding him severely, Zhao Deyan showed a vicious look in his eyes, nodded and said: "I will remember every word of you, Kou Zhong, but if you still want to remove the 'seven-needle system' in Lei Jiu's finger God', you have to listen to someone Zhao." Kou Zhong looked up to the sky and said with a smile, "What else is there to say, you made it clear that you didn't keep your promise, you want our lives, and you want to snatch the relics away." Zhao Deyan nodded and said: "This is just a misunderstanding, because someone Zhao thought that the two of you were cheating with fake products, and that's why you took the offense just now." Kou Zhong frowned and said, "Then why did it suddenly become a misunderstanding?" Zhao Deyan pointed to the silver beads on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Because the jar is filled with mercury, only mercury can cover up the holy light of the holy relic and its aura. From this point of view, what is immersed in the mercury liquid in the jar should be Undoubtedly the holy relic. It is really unexpected, where did you find it?" The two looked into the tank at the same time, and what they saw was still mercury, without lights or fire, and it was pitch black. Kou Zhong said: "Stop talking nonsense, now that you know that the holy relic is in our hands, let's negotiate a deal." Kang Jiaoli yelled from behind: "Didn't the deal be negotiated earlier? You give us the relic, and we will remove the death penalty for Lei Jiuzhi." Kou Zhong smiled proudly: "Your 'seven-needle confinement' is just a trick to deceive a three-year-old child. I can find someone on the street to solve it. If I say it is another transaction, I won't agree to it." Destroy the relic immediately, and then divide life and death." Zhao Deyan was slightly taken aback, frowned and said: "Young Marshal has any new proposals, just tell them, and someone Zhao will listen attentively." Kou Zhong said in a deep voice: "It's very simple, you immediately hand over that little thief from Xiangyu Mountain, and this relic is yours." Zhao Deyan was stunned for a moment, then laughed happily and said, "I thought it was something, why didn't the young commander tell you earlier, it's settled, please ask the young commander to take out the holy relic and show it to prove that there is really something in the mercury. Holy Relic, we will hand over the person immediately." Then he shouted loudly and said, "Yushan, get out of here." There was a sound of weapons clashing from inside the building, and within a short while, Xiangyushan, who was already green and pale, was pushed out by two Turkic men and came to Zhao Deyan's side. This time it was Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling's turn to be stunned, not because Zhao Deyan was so ruthless to Xiangyushan, but because Xiangyushan was a key figure in the great conspiracy to restore the old dynasty, Zhao Deyan sacrificed him so casually, wouldn't it make the plot fail. Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling felt that something was wrong, but hated that they still couldn't figure out where the problem was just like before.
