Chapter 518 Chapter Six Friend and Enemy

The two stepped out of the courtyard and came to the street. After the heavy rain, the sky was gray, the streets were slippery, and there was still accumulated water in the lower places. Obviously, this city imitating Chang'an has not yet completed the project of water removal. Xu Ziling felt it, and put on a relaxed smile on his face.In fact, all the wounds on his body were aching, and he didn't feel well. He said in a low voice, "Someone is watching us. One of them is a homeless beggar sitting across the street begging for money. He glanced at us and immediately lowered his head. There are two other groups People, a group is at the first table on the left side of the noodle shop diagonally opposite, and a group is hiding in the carriage parked by the sidewalk on the left side here, I don’t know how many people there are.”

Kou Zhong was surprised and said: "You are getting better and better! I only caught the surveillance of the three guys in the store. This is a cheap gift from the door. Let's take the money beggar first and let's make an example of others. Otherwise, I'm afraid I have no life to see Yucheng." Xu Ziling put his hands on Kou Zhong's broad shoulders, and followed him across the carriageway, towards the ragged tramp who wore a hat and lowered his head as low as possible. Kou Zhong smiled and said: "How can you find a way to lure Shen Mohuan out, and then kill him with a single arrow from the Mie Ri Bow, his Feiyun Bow is yours."

Xu Ziling said: "His Feiyun bow is stained with the blood of innocent people, it is an ominous thing. Let Commander Jian take it and burn it in front of the dead wife's tomb for worship!" When the two came to the homeless man sitting on the ground, Kou Zhong took out a Tongbao imitation Sui Dynasty copper coin circulating in Longquan, threw it into the air, the copper coin spun like a top, and then fell to the ground in front of the homeless man, just as he was begging for money. Beside the tile, it was still spinning for a long time before stopping, making a slight sound of Qingyue touching the ground.

The homeless man was afraid that his disguise would be seen through, so he didn't dare to raise his head. He reached for the copper coins and said in Chinese with a hoarse voice, "Thank you two masters!" As soon as his fingertips touched the copper coin, Kou Zhong stretched out his foot quickly and slowly, stepping on the back of his hand. Xu Ziling's hand on his shoulder sent out his true energy, trying to help him heal the severe wound on his chest.Otherwise, with such reckless energy, it would be strange if the wound didn't burst open again. The homeless man wanted to withdraw his hand, but he found that Kou Zhong's true energy was pressed down, and his flexible palm seemed to be pressed by a huge boulder, and he couldn't move it.

The soul flew away, and Kou Zhong stepped on the palm of his hand firmly. His other hand naturally slashed at Kou Zhong's shin, Kou Zhong's true energy attacked his body along the veins of his feet, making the half-cut hand slump down. The man raised his head, his eyes showed a vicious and terrified look, he stretched his strength violently, but he didn't know that he could not struggle, this struggle immediately caused a burst of heart-piercing pain, which made his forehead break out in cold sweat, and his hands Broken bones. Not only was Kou Zhong indifferent to his pain, but he also seemed completely unaware that his foot was stepping on someone else's hand, as if nothing had happened, he smiled at Xu Ziling on his shoulder: "People say that the ten fingers hurt the heart, if the palm is destroyed, Wouldn't it be a one-time solution to this heart-wrenching problem? At most, it's five fingers hurting, not ten fingers."

Xu Ziling couldn't bear it and said to the man: "We will ask you a few words, if you answer obediently and honestly, we will release you immediately and ensure that you have all your hands and feet." The two have been partners for a long time since they were young gangsters, and they have a deep understanding of the art of psychological warfare. They sing and harmonize, and press down layer by layer to destroy the opponent's will to resist. Kou Zhong looked at him intently as if he had just seen that person at this moment, and said, "Where is Kunzhihuang? If there is a chance, I will definitely sit down with him, drink water and rice wine, and talk about the current situation."

The man was shocked, apparently because Kou Zhong saw the truth and was horrified. Only Xu Ziling knows that Kou Zhong is at most 50% sure of defeating the enemy, but this kid is like his Jing Zhongyue, he loves to win by surprise, he boldly beat his mother, and he said it like 100% of the time. First of all, they heard that he was a Khitan from his impure accent.Secondly, all the Khitan tribes are afraid of Tuli, only A Baojia, the Khitan chief, dare not sell Tuli's account, and join forces with Shenmohuan and Tiefuyou to ambush them outside Hualin.Kun Zhihuang was A Baojia's general in charge of handling this matter, so it should be a matter of course that he sent this person to spy on them.

Kou Zhong completely relaxed the foot that was stepping on the Khitan man, and the man's hand returned to freedom, but he dared not withdraw it, the look of fear gushed out from his eyes, showing that the dike of his defense was about to collapse. Kou Zhong smiled and said: "If you are a man, you can answer yes or no, as long as you speak the truth, please send my regards to Kunzhihuang." The man didn't dare to return the hand from under Kou Zhong's feet to Zhao, he nodded dejectedly and said: "Yes!" Kou Zhong moved his big foot away, patted the man's shoulder and said with a smile: "Isn't it okay to say earlier?"

Pulling Xu Ziling back to the street, he walked towards the group sitting in the restaurant, and said with a low smile, "I feel a bit like returning to those unforgettable years in Yangzhou. " Xu Ziling smiled and said, "Being abducted has nothing to do with me, I'm just a pickpocket." Kou Zhong said: "Pretending to be noble has become an old problem of yours. I am an honest person, I only know how to tell the truth, don't take offense." Xu Ziling laughed dumbly and said: "The old problem of self-proclaimed loftiness? In the final analysis, it means that I refuse to help you to fight for world hegemony. What are you talking about brothers! But everyone has their own aspirations, I won't blame you, because I know how to respect other people's aspirations. "

Kou Zhong laughed and said, "While there is still some time, why don't we go to the real immortals of Shengguang Temple, only in front of the real immortals, Ling Shao, you will show your true face." The two of them stood outside the restaurant and looked inside. The three strong men of foreign ethnicity occupying the first table next to the door were awed by their approach and avoided their gaze at the same time. Xu Ziling's sunlight fell on the tattoo on the back of one of them, and he asked in his heart, "How is Cui Wang?" The three Han trembled lightly at the same time, although it was slightly imperceptible, how could it be hidden from the two of them.It's a pity secretly, because if they can follow up secretly, it is very possible to find Cui Wang's lair, but now they have enough energy to spare.

One of them replied: "Master Xu misunderstood, we are under Lie Ye's subordinates, and we met two uncles in Hualin that day." The two of them had no doubts that only those who had stayed in China for a long time could speak Chinese so authentically and with a Northeast accent. Another Huihe man said: "Master Lie told us to wait for his orders here." Kou Zhong smiled and said: "Stop talking nonsense, three brothers, please!" The three of you looked at me, and then slipped away in embarrassment as if they were granted an amnesty by the emperor. Kou Zhong led Xu Ziling back to the street, the suspicious carriage had already left, Kou Zhong said happily: "This can be said to be a windfall, what do you think?" Xu Ziling thought about it: "Cui Wang's subordinates are probably also Lie Xia's subordinates? After we go round and round, we always return to the original starting point. Xu Kaishan is not only an important figure of the Great Ming Zunjiao, but also a wolf thief. The mastermind behind the scenes." Kou Zhong excitedly said: "As long as it is proved that Lie Xia is related to the wolf robbers, we can openly find Lie Xia to sacrifice the flag. Ha! This is not self-serving, but Lao Ning once said that the consequences are the most important in everything. In short, it is for the world Just eliminate the harm." Xu Ziling smiled and said, "Regardless of whether you are Chinese or foreign, you must be reasonable. One day you haven't found conclusive evidence of the crime, and you are only guessing out of thin air, and it is still difficult to be convicted." The two turned into the side street and cut to the Suzaku Avenue ahead. Kou Zhong chased after him in a low voice: "Is there any idiot following you?" Xu Ziling shook his head and said, "No response." Kou Zhong pondered, "I thought of a way to kill Shen Mohuan, I wonder if it's feasible?" Xu Ziling said indifferently: "My little brother is all ears." Kou Zhong said without hesitation: "However, two hypotheses must be established before my plan to kill the traitor can be carried out. The first assumption is that Mrs. Meiyan kept the five stones privately and did not give them to Fu Nanda or Bai Ziting. The second The first hypothesis is that Shen Mohuan wants to snatch the five stones. As long as the two hypotheses are true, we can use beauty as bait to lure out Shen Weihuan, a big fish, and give him death with the Mie Ri Bow." Xu Ziling frowned and said, "Meiyan is not related to us, so why would she listen to us? And we don't even know where she is hiding. It will be useless to follow Guan Ping, he will never go directly to her." There are still two lanes away from Weique Street, and there are obviously more people and cars, and the atmosphere is lively. Kou Zhong pushed Xu Ziling to turn into the side alley, and stood still. If any stalkers came up at this time, he would definitely not be able to hide it from them, and said with a smile, "I will spend my energy on other matters. First, tell me whether these two hypotheses are valid?" Xu Ziling shook his head and said, "It's hard to say, it's hard to say straight." Kou Zhong smiled and said: "What's the embarrassment? Just ask Meiyan to understand. If the five stones are still in her hands, it means that she is not asking for the five stones for Bai Ziting or Fu Nanda , but for her own sake. If this is the case, I am 70% to 80% sure that I can persuade her to be the bait for a big fish." Xu Ziling said: "Tonight, there is still Shi Zhixuan's headache. We are already overwhelmed, and we can't protect ourselves. You still have to do this almost impossible thing by yourself. Is it a great achievement, or you are overwhelmed." Kou Zhong denied, "I'm just being proactive. Whoever dares to hurt my good brother Xu Ziling, I, Kou Zhong, will never let him go. And just because Shen Mohuan and others didn't expect us to take the initiative to counterattack under such a disadvantage, Shen In line with the gist of winning by surprise, you must support me." Xu Ziling was moved for a while, and realized that he was really angry because he was injured more seriously, so he fought back at all costs, nodded and said: "Okay! How can I support you." The sharp sound of hooves approached from a distance.A knight passed by outside the alley like a whirlwind, quickly reined in his horse, turned around, ran into the alley, kicked off his horse and let out a sigh of relief: "Finally found two brothers." It is impressively known as Ba Fenghan's Turkic master Ke Dazhi. Kou Zhong laughed and said, "Didn't you hear that we were seriously injured, so come and kill us!" Da Zhiran came to the two of them with his horse, greeted Xu Ziling first, looked them up and down, and said in surprise: "It's really hard to tell from the outside, but his face is a little pale. But Bai Ziting said that the sword on the young marshal's chest , almost killed the young marshal. Who did it?" Kou Zhong said in a low voice: "It's Shen Weihuan and Han Chaoan's good deeds, his grandma's Xiong, I can't swallow this breath." Da Zhi nodded and said: "I also guessed from his despicable and shameless behavior that it was Shen Weihuan. If there is anything you can do for the young commander, please avoid telling me. Han Chao'an, I have always disliked him." Xu Ziling was surprised and said, "Didn't Shen Mohuan and his wife always do things for you, but brother, aren't you afraid that Khan will be unhappy?" Dazhi snorted coldly and said, "Just because he wants to compete for Wucaishi, and also colludes secretly with Han Chao'an, the two of you should know what kind of guy he is." Then he smiled and said, "Shouldn't we say it earlier? We are side by side in Longquan Combat partner." Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked at each other, they were both surprised, and there was a strange feeling that friend and foe could not be distinguished. After Kou Zhong waited for a group of three citizens to pass by, he turned his eyes to the busy street at the entrance of the alley, and said in a deep voice, "We want to kill Shen Mohuan, but brother, are you interested?" Da Zhi said happily: "To tell you the truth, my younger brother just received instructions not to let Shen Mohuan go back to the Gobi alive, do you think I'm interested?" The hearts of both of them were shocked at the same time, causing a stormy sea. Killing Shen Weihuan may be a condition of the peace talks between Tuli and Xieli, but in fact this is a strategy of killing two birds with one stone. The usable value of Shen Mohuan and his wife became lower and lower as Xieli and Tuli got married. The notorious Shen Mohuan and his wife will definitely bring Xieli a great negative influence and weaken his prestige in the prairie.Putting them to death can not only please Tuli to show sincerity, but also restore positive prestige among all ethnic groups. What is even more powerful is that the Gunatai brothers who are gradually approaching success are not allowed to win this honor alone. Look deeper.After the defeat of Benlangyuan, Xieli changed his strategy completely, and chose the strategy of inbreeding and attacking from a distance. First, he united all the forces in the prairie, and then formed a coalition force to invade the Central Plains in a large scale. Li Shimin can also tell Tuli that he helped his brother Kou Zhong win the world. Being able to make such a decision in response to the current situation, it is no wonder that Xieli can become the overlord of the prairie. These thoughts flashed across the minds of the two of them in an instant, both helpless and embarrassing. Kou Zhong sighed secretly, thinking that the matter of killing Shen Mohuan was imperative, so he had to put everything aside for the time being, and then talk about other things after finishing the matter, nodded and said: "Okay! But brother is a man of promise, I trust you .” Dazhi said in a sullen voice: "Dazhi will never let down the trust of the young marshal, how should this matter be carried out?" Kou Zhongdao: "Does Bai Ziting know about our current relationship with Brother Ke?" Dazhi smiled and said, "How could my little brother reveal such a secret and unbelievable thing. He talked to me just now, and deliberately let me know that the serious drama you have suffered is a conspiracy to kill people with a knife." Kou Zhong cursed secretly in his heart, and also guessed that Bai Ziting's reconciliation with Jieli Tuli's two uncles and nephews was still kept in the dark. Slowly asked: "Did he mention Wu Caishi?" Da Zhi said: "That was his dream, how could he skip it. He seemed bitter about the fact that the young marshal didn't give him Wu Caishi right away, but in the end he still didn't want me to kill you all. Swallowed five stones." Both Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling wiped off a cold sweat, knowing that when they worshiped Ziting in the courtyard earlier, they really had the intention of killing and seizing stones, but because they couldn't see through Kou Zhong's fiction and had deep scruples about the relationship between Tuli and them, they didn't Dare to act rashly. Xu Ziling interjected, "How did Fu Nanda react?" Da Zhi shook his head and said, "I have never seen him since arriving in Longquan." Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were astonished. Ke Dazhi said in a low voice: "Fu Nanda has always acted in a mysterious way, and his Tianzhu magic power is said to have reached the pinnacle of transformation, otherwise, because of Zi Ting's rebelliousness, he would respect him as a teacher and obey him. He probably came up with this poisonous plan to kill the two of you with my sword." Kou Zhongdao: "Brother's information is very useful, at least let us know that Wu Caishi has not yet fallen into Bai Ziting's hands, and our plan to kill Shen Mohuan can proceed according to the original plan." Da Zhi was stunned and said, "Isn't Wu Caishi in your hands?" Kou Zhong explained again, and said: "Meiyan will be a key figure for us to deal with that nasty boy Shen Mohuan and even Lie Xia. Let Lie Xia let him linger for a few more days, but brother, can you find out what Meiyan is doing first?" A place to stay? Let’s make an appointment to meet again after we finish some things.” Da Dazhi said proudly: "This bag is on me. In fact, I have been paying attention to this girl, so it is just a matter of lifting my hands." Xu Ziling suddenly asked: "Brother Ke, are you familiar with Du Xing?" Da Zhi looked at Xu Ziling in astonishment, as if he wanted to see through his inner thoughts from his expression, nodded and said: "It can be said that, alas! I am a bit dishonest! I have a deep friendship with him, and before he was satisfied, he I once took care of my younger brother, and it was he who recommended my younger brother to Da Khan. Ha! I don’t know why, but I don’t want to deceive you, it seems that I have some love to befriend you, is this called knowing heroes and valuing heroes.” Kou Zhong smiled bitterly: "I hope we can be good friends forever, but everyone knows that such a good life can only be found in Longquan." Da Zhi smiled and said, "No one can predict the future, and I will think about tomorrow's affairs tomorrow." Turning to Xu Ziling, he said, "Brother Xu, why did you suddenly ask about Du Xing?" Xu Ziling said: "Because we suspect that Xu Kaishan, Du Xing's elder brother, is an important figure in Daming Zunjiao, if we can ask Du Xing to come out without telling Xu Kaishan, it might be helpful for everyone to have a heart-to-heart talk." Da Zhi's body trembled slightly, and after pondering for a while: "I'll try to see if I can ask him to meet the two of you together, but you'd better have some solid evidence, otherwise it's hard to convince Du Xing." Kou Zhong screamed in his heart, Xu Ziling's writing is really brilliant, he said: "Although we didn't speculate out of thin air, we didn't catch any of Xu Kaishan's sick feet. But talking is always beneficial to Lao Du, otherwise we will be dragged down by Xu Kaishan in the future , it’s not worth it.” The three made an appointment at a time and place to meet, and Kodazhi got on his horse and left. Kou Zhong smiled wryly at Xu Ziling, "We guessed wrong again. Shen Mohuan was not ordered by Jieli to commit the murder." Xu Ziling said: "Shenmo Huanyi was a personal enmity, and the second was Han Chaoan. He wanted to unify Shi Wei, so he wanted to cut us off first, and then deal with the Gunatai brothers with all his strength. Because of his ambition, Jieli can no longer tolerate him. This running dog." Kou Zhong looked at the sky and said, "It's about time, let's go see Yucheng!"
