Chapter 447 Chapter Thirteen

The first to attack was Li Shentong's double fists and Pei Ji's forgetting shape fan. The combined force of the two masters was indeed extraordinary. They broke in through the main entrance and the south window respectively, locking Xu Ziling tightly with their energy. On the other hand, for Xu Ziling who had absorbed the essence of relics, the only way he could do it was to break through the top, if so, he would be in the hands of the enemy. Xu Ziling had to take the risk of fighting alone in order to let the enemy know that Gao Zhandao and others are going to be champions. Only in this way can the enemy lose their way, and the best thing is to force Chen Shi, a local worm, to lie for him.

Xu Ziling smiled slightly, and pressed his hands towards the round table, the table immediately flew off the ground, first hit the chairs beside the table and flew in all directions, then spun sharply and slammed into Li Shentong who came in through the gate. Xu Ziling jumped up at the same time, pointing the toe of his right toe on the center of the table, facing Li Shentong's fists with both palms. The flying chair exploded into flying pieces of wood, and Pei Ji and the other masters who stormed into the hall were so exhausted that they couldn't form a joint situation with Li Shentong.

Xu Ziling was sure that the enemy's main force was on the tile roof, so no matter which window or door he escaped from, they could still look down and see clearly, and plan to attack. In addition, the archers lying on the periphery can block his way, and can easily surround him heavily. When he came in just now, he carefully looked at the situation of the hall. The gate of the inner hall has a long corridor leading to the lobby of the main house in front. Outside the main entrance of the lobby is the square, the outer wall and the street. As long as he can break into the outer street, his chance of escape will be very small. increase to the highest.

Under normal circumstances, Li Shentong would never be afraid of Xu Ziling's palms. He could stop, trap or repel him no matter what, but no matter how high he considered himself, he still didn't dare to block his palms at the same time. Facing the table that was swaying and bumping into his chest, he had no choice but to dodge aside, shouting wildly: "He wants to escape from the main entrance!" "boom!" The table was unable to fly through the gate, and was smashed to pieces by the door frame, and the door wall collapsed. Xu Ziling, like a bird out of the cage, first rushed to the table, until his body and the table formed a 30-degree oblique angle, with his toes propped up against the edge of the table, he shot towards the other exit of the corridor like a cannonball. Although the interceptor outside the door With the sword and sword thrown together, Na guessed that his movement was so swift, all of them were chopped in the air, not even touching the corner of his shirt.

Xu Ziling rushed into the hall, but there was no one there, apparently the place was cleared early so that he could be dealt with easily. Chai Shao, who was guarding the gate, led more than a dozen people to rush in. Xu Ziling bounced off the ground, swept across, somersaulted, broke through the side window, and landed on the open space on the side of the lobby and the outer wall. The arrows snapped. More than a dozen strong archers lying on the roof of the wall fired their crossbows at once, and powerful arrows crossed from all sides. Xu Ziling knew that the enemy had messed him up. Shooting arrows like this in such a hurry did not pose a threat to him at all, but instead gave him a chance to breathe because it took time to set up the arrow.

Stand on your toes and fly straight up. Looking around, Pang Yu and Duan Zhixuan were leading more than 20 people from Wa Mian. Li Shentong and Pei Ji might have chased into the lobby at this time, so they disappeared. It is at this time not to go, when to wait. Taking a breath in the air, he flew across the sky at a height of more than ten feet, avoided the enemy's second round of arrows, crossed the outer wall full of enemies, and landed in the middle of the street. With a little tiptoe, he climbed up to the roof of the house across the street, and then disappeared without a trace.

Since Zhang Zhen was in Yanshi all over his body, it would take time to go back and forth, so Kou Zhong arranged for him to rest in a small courtyard in the south of the city. Wang Shichong wanted to keep him in the palace, but Kou Zhong declined politely, and even refused to send a servant to serve him. After Lang Feng, who sent him to the residence, sent him away, the only thing he had to do was to take a deep sleep. When he was awakened by knocking on the door, it was almost dusk. The visitor is Yang Gongqing, an old friend and comrade-in-arms. It is of course very businesslike to reunite after a long absence.

Yang Gongqing didn't bring any entourage, and after sitting down, he asked: "Why did Qin Shubao and Cheng Yaojin leave and never return? If it is not convenient for the young commander to tell the reason, I will never mind." Kou Zhong smiled wryly, "Has the Holy Spirit blamed me for this matter?" Yang Gongqing said: "This matter is quite strange. I have mentioned them twice in front of him, but they have distracted the Holy One from other matters. It seems that I don't want to go into it." Kou Zhongdao: "This is called having a guilty conscience."

Then he explained the ins and outs, why Wang Shichong wanted to use Song Jingang's hand to try to kill the two of them and Tuli together, and said with a smile: "Xiaoling and I are also the targets of the Holy Majesty's harm. His venomous plan has been resolved invisibly, otherwise Tuli may never return to his hometown." Yang Gongqing sighed wistfully: "Cheng Yaojin and Qin Shubao are both experienced and fierce generals, but because they are straightforward by nature, they refuse to cater to the prince, and they also disagree with the prince on strategic arrangements, so they are not liked by the prince and the Holy Majesty. But talented people are rare, and we can't just throw them away like weeds because of such petty quarrels, and even conspire to harm them. Sigh! Who wouldn't be disappointed by such a master."

Kou Zhong was taken aback and said: "It's chilling, it's chilling, now that the war is imminent, the most important thing for Yang Gong is to support the overall situation, otherwise Luoyang will be in danger." After Yang Gongqing stared at him for a long while, he said in a deep voice, "Do you know that Cheng Yaojin and Qin Shubao have joined Li Shimin under the introduction of Li Jing?" Kou Zhong lost his voice: "What?" Yang Gongqing shook his head and said: "Sometimes I really don't understand, if you help Wang Shichong defeat Li Shimin, what good will it do you?"

Kou Zhong said solemnly: "First of all, I am afraid of Li Shimin, not Wang Shichong. One time, I want to gain some time to catch my breath so as to build up my young commander's army. Do you think I don't know who Wang Shichong is?" After Yang Gongqing hesitated for a moment, he lowered his voice and said, "Is the young commander interested in taking in this old man?" Kou Zhong was taken aback, and replied in a low voice: "This is not a joke. But under the current situation, Mr. Yang should choose Li Shimin or Dou Jiande. When will I, Kou Xiaozhong?" Yang Gongqing smiled and said: "The young commander is too modest. I look around the world, only you, the young commander Kou, have the ability to compete with Li Shimin. Thinking of me, Yang Gongqing, who rebelled in Handan for ten years since Daye, I have never fallen. What kind of character I've never met, but I've never seen someone as far-sighted as you Kou Zhong, who is full of tricks but still loyal, serving you is already a kind of satisfaction." Kou Zhong was embarrassed by the praise, and said with a wry smile: "I am ashamed of Mr. Yang's praise. Of course I hope to ride side by side with Mr. Yang on the battlefield, but the current situation is very unfavorable to me, so I really don't want Mr. Yang to accompany me to endure hardships. " Yang Gongqing smiled and said: "Since that's the case, why don't the young commander simply disband the young commander's army, so that he can be happy and carefree?" Kou Zhong's tiger eyes sparkled, and he said in a deep voice: "Since I debuted, I have long been used to constantly struggling for survival, and the struggle against power is as natural as breathing. Because everything I encounter is almost impossible to succeed, in the end it is still for me to fight against the powerful." Only when Ziling was settled one by one did I feel the joy from the hardships. This trip to Chang'an has strengthened my belief that the Gaomen family has corrupted people's hearts and is not qualified to bring happiness and stability to the people. Look at Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng , Li Yuanji and others, everyone should understand how I feel. Li Shimin is the only person in the Li clan who looks like a human being." Yang Gongqing clapped her hands and said, "Well said! Ever since my family was ruined by Li Jiancheng, I, Yang Gongqing, have been alone all the time, in order to be free from any encumbrances, and to have no scruples in doing anything." Kou Zhong was startled and said, "Li Jiancheng ruined Mr. Yang's family?" Yang Gongqing said as if nothing had happened: "Don't bring up this matter again, just ask the young commander if he accepts the old man's proposal?" Kou Zhong stretched out his big hand, and said solemnly: "It's rare that Yang Gong thinks highly of me, Kou Zhong, Kou Zhong can only be grateful and happy." As soon as Yang Gongqing held his hand tightly, his eyes sparkled, and he said, "I've been thinking about this for a long time, and it's not out of impulse, what should the young commander want the veteran to do in the future?" Kou Zhongdao: "The most urgent thing is to use Wang Shichong's strength to resist the Tang army. How many people are available under Yang Gong." Yang Gongqing said: "Wang Shichong cut off my soldiers left and right, and there are less than 5,000 people left, but they are all elite cronies who have followed me for many years, and there is no problem in loyalty." Kou Zhongdao: "Only the two of us are allowed to agree on our affairs. Mr. Yang must not reveal his words and deeds, so as not to arouse Wang Shichong's suspicion." After Yang Gongqing squeezed him tightly again, he let go of his hand and nodded, "Young commander, don't worry, the old man has his own measure." Then he sighed: "How sure is the young commander in keeping Luoyang?" Kou Zhong smiled wryly, "Originally there was still 10 to 20 percent, but now there is not even half of it." Yang Gongqing said in astonishment, "Why do you say that?" Kou Zhong stared at him and sighed: "Mr. Yang, you are a living example of the scattered people in Dazheng. Unless we can defeat Li Shimin in the first battle, the Tang army will come to the east without hurting a single soldier, and it will be received like harvesting grass." How long can the city that surrendered to them survive until Luoyang becomes an isolated city?" Yang Gongqing nodded and said: "This is true. Zhang Zhenzhou has privately scolded Wang Shichong many times in front of me for rejecting the old ministry and sealing up his relatives. He is most likely the first person to surrender to the Li clan." Kou Zhong lost his voice: "What?" Yang Gongqing shrugged and said, "What's so strange, I was one step ahead of him? It's just that the target is not Li Shimin!" Kou Zhong couldn't laugh or cry when he heard that. Xuan remembered something again, and asked, "Did Wang Shichong clean up Rong Fengxiang?" Yang Gongqing said angrily: "This is something that people of another religion are dissatisfied with. I really don't know why Wang Shichong is so scruples about Rong Fengxiang, but since Rong Fengxiang was assassinated by the young commander, he hasn't shown up for a long time, but the Luoshui gang Control is still in his hands." Kou Zhong also thought hard. After Yang Gongqing left, Kou Zhong returned to the hall, thinking whether he should go for a walk in the street, when there was a slight sound. Kou Zhong was stunned. Could it be that enemies came to the door so quickly, looking for trouble for him?
