Chapter 549 Chapter Eleven

Zong Xianghua's slender hand left the hilt of the sword, and said in a dazed manner, "Leave immediately, roll as far as you have, and don't appear in front of my eyes in the future, or don't blame us for being rude." Xu Ziling and Ba Fenghan heard you stare at me and were puzzled.Zong Xianghua didn't immediately draw his sword to face each other, or call the people of Daming Zunjiao to help, it was beyond their expectations, and now they are allowed to leave, it is really strange. Ke Subie, who has always been gentle, sighed: "Zong's bodyguard knows from everyone in Xiufang that the young marshal has personally promised to protect the lives and property of the civilians in Longquan, and since you let her go in Xiaolongquan, I don't want to fight with you again." Enemy. Alas! We...we..."

The two of them came to understand, and understood that none of the reasons Ke Subie said was the most important. The real reason why Zong Xianghua didn't want to fight was that she had lost all fighting spirit and hope for the war, and could only wait for the doom of genocide and massacre of the city. Xu Ziling took pity on the great student, and said softly: "Things are still not hopeless, as long as we find Wucaishi, and your superior is willing to give up the establishment of the country, we can try to persuade Tuli, and then let him talk to Xieli." Zong Xianghua shook his head dejectedly, and lowered his head.

Ke Su glanced at the peaceful and beautiful surroundings of the river bridge with special treasure, showing a heart-wrenching expression, and said tragically: "Let's not say that the king is determined to go his own way and is determined to fight to the death. I will give up, Brother Ba should be aware of Jieli's style of killing everything." Xu Ziling recalled the prosperous situation of Zhuque Street when he first arrived in Longquan, and thought of the horrible scene of women, children, old and weak being trampled on by the iron hooves of the Turkic wolf army. His righteous indignation welled up in his chest, and he said decisively: "I will never let the Turkic people slaughter the city."

Zong Xianghua looked up at him, hesitated to speak, but finally said nothing, but there was no trace of hostility in her beautiful eyes. Ba Fenghan frowned and said, "How did you get into this situation? Don't you think that with your meager strength in a remote corner, you would challenge the Turkic wolf army that dominates the prairie and intimidates the middle-earth, but just hit the stone with an egg. Although Gai Suwen is With a surprise attack, at best, the fate of the undead can only be postponed a little." Ke Subie's eyes shot out a sad look of regret, and he said fiercely: "Your Majesty, this is called making mistakes again and again, but in the final analysis, he was bewitched by Ma Ji, and under his introduction, he took Fu Nanda as his teacher and did not hesitate to use any means. Accumulating wealth and expanding the army, coupled with Gai Suwen, superstitiously believed in the so-called destiny instructed by Fu Nanda. Now Fu Nanda is in danger of protecting himself. Fu Nanda, but he gave him a severe reprimand; since then he has been idle, and only does some work for him to welcome foreign guests. Yesterday, the chief guard and I tried hard to advise him not to capture Mr. Song, but he didn't listen to us at all, causing You captured Xiaolongquan, angered Miss Qiang, a disciple of Master Fu, lost the strong support of Gaoli, and finally Fu Nanda was killed by the young commander. Sigh! I don’t know why things have developed to this point.”

Zong Xianghua replied indifferently, and said lightly: "Stop talking! You two should do us a favor and leave the city immediately, otherwise it will be difficult for us to explain to the king." Ba Fenghan said in a deep voice: "You two, please don't underestimate Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, they said that there must be a way to resolve the Longquan massacre, and the cooperation of the two of you is needed. Even if you don't put your own life and death in the In the eyes, we should also think about the innocent civilians in the whole city." Zong Xianghua sneered coldly: "Isn't Ba Fenghan famous for being hard-hearted? Why did he suddenly become like a merciful knight? If you really think about us, return the things you robbed, I promise you, Your Majesty." will return the man to you."

Ba Fenghan understood her mood, even though he was robbed, he was not angry, he winked at Xu Ziling and talked to him. Xu Ziling understood, and said calmly: "Please think twice before answering me a question. Are you loyal to Baiziting or to the Sumo clan? Please don't answer hastily. I want to know the true intentions of the two of you. Facing the juncture of life and death of genocide, your future fate may be determined by your answers." Zong Xianghua and Ke Subie looked at him in shock at the same time. Kou Zhong and Ping Yaoshang's entourage of seventeen people were escorted into a mule cart that was supposed to carry goods, and drove across the city like Gong Qi and nearly a hundred guards escorting prisoners towards the palace.

The mob on the street was still angry. Although they were prevented from pulling them out of the car and beating them hard, they continued to insult and even threw stones at them, scaring Luo Yi and others into shame. Shrinking into a ball only knows how to tremble. Of course Kou Zhong put on the same posture and fearful expression as them, but in fact he was in a good mood, and begged God to worship Buddha Gongqi to send them to the same prison where Song Shidao and others were imprisoned. This possibility is very high, and concentrating the hostages in prison is not only convenient for defense, but also convenient for transportation.

At this moment, there was a sharp sound of hoofbeats, and seven or eight riders came galloping from behind, and the leader was Han Chao'an. Kou Zhong almost reached out and drew his sword, the so-called enemies are jealous when they meet, after killing Fu Nanda and Shen Moyuan, what he wants to kill the most is this hateful guy, and then it's Lie Xia's turn. Gong Qi smiled and said: "Brother Han is back from the other courtyard!" With a sullen face, Han Chao'an didn't even look at Kou Zhong and the other prisoners, he rode straight to Gong Qi's side, riding alongside him, and said angrily, "How did it happen, and how could it happen? Let Kou Zhong That kid captured Xiaolongquan and robbed the three important cargoes, he has already lost the face of Bo Hai, what is so ridiculous is that he let Kou Zhong kill the Great Master while the whole city watched helplessly, and he was killed again afterwards He ran away, tell me what is going on, why should we fight tomorrow's battle? Only Kou Zhong is enough to destroy Longquan."

If Gongqi is from Su Mo, he must be unable to resist. Gong Qi said in a low voice: "Brother Han, don't get angry, how can things go as you wish, we made a mistake in underestimating Kou Zhong's ability to escape, but if we hadn't accepted Brother Han's proposal to plot against Song Shidao, things wouldn't have turned out like this situation!" Han Chao'an also lowered his voice, still unable to hide the anger in his heart, he said: "It's obvious that you smashed the plan, and you're blaming me, did you execute Song Shidao?" Kou Zhong was taken aback, and immediately contacted a series of things.Gong Qi not only said that the capture of Song Shidao was proposed by Han Chaoan, but also used the word "conspiracy". It can be imagined that Han Chaoan made the first move to make the unsuspecting Song Shidao act first, and then Funanda assisted and killed Song Shidao One is caught off guard, otherwise with Song Shidao's martial arts, he might die in a fierce battle, and he will never be humiliated and captured.

Why did Han Chaoan do this?This can be inferred from the fact that if his plan is successful, if Song Shidao and Kou Zhong are killed, Bai Ziting will gather together with Gai Suwen's surprise troops to recover Xiaolongquan with a thunderous force, and take Xu Ziling, Ba Fenghan and Gunatai in one fell swoop. Annihilation, then the morale will be high and the will to fight will be firm.This is an instant effect. The more far-reaching effect is to involve the king of Koryo and Yijian master Fu Cailin in this matter. In the future, his son-in-law and son will die in Longquan at the same time. , Song Que will definitely fight Fu Cailin to the death.And Song Que was one of the few people in the world who was qualified to challenge Fu Cailin.

For Han Chaoan and Gai Suwen, Fu Cailin was the biggest obstacle to them ascending to the throne of Koryo, so they wanted to go as soon as possible. These thoughts flashed through Kou Zhong's mind like lightning, and then he thought of another serious problem that was imminent. Han Chaoan hurried back after hearing the news, not just to lose his temper, but to kill Song Shidao so that the Korean side would never know that he was involved in capturing Song Shidao, otherwise Fu Cailin would be the first person not to let him go. Kou Zhong secretly wiped off his cold sweat, fortunately he ran into this incident by accident, otherwise it would be a lifelong regret, and he would not be able to explain to the Song family. Gong Qi said indifferently: "As for Song Shidao, it's best for Brother Han to ask the king himself. Those of us who are subordinates are just following orders." Kou Zhong's heart moved, guessing that Han Chao'an didn't know that Gong Qi was a member of Daming Zunjiao. Han Chaoan glanced back at Kou Zhong and the others who were crowded together in the mule cart, and asked, "Who are these people?" Gong Qi suddenly leaned forward on the horseback towards Han Chao'an, and said a few words to Han Chao'an in a string of voices, although Kou Zhong had gathered his ears together, he still couldn't hear a single word, and felt that something was wrong. Sure enough, Han Chao'an's spirit was lifted, and he said with a sinister smile: "Anyway, when I'm free, I will accompany General Gong to go around the inner palace prison. Ha! General Gong is really a friend." Kou Zhong's heart sank, thinking of what he had missed. Gong Qi was uneasy and wanted to use Han Chaoan's hand to kill Song Shidao, but this put Kou Zhong in a dilemma.In the inner garden of the palace, even if he is Kou Zhong's head and six arms, it is still difficult to save people's lives and get the best of both worlds.What's more, the sixteen Pingyao merchants are all powerless, and they will be the first to suffer if they do it.But how could he just watch Han Chao'an kill Song Shidao? The blood on Zong Xianghua's face faded away quickly, and she shook her head slowly unconsciously, while Ke Subie's face was suddenly bright and dark, revealing the conflict of different thoughts in her heart. Ba Feng snorted coldly: "One person's mistakes should not be borne by the whole clan!" Zong Xianghua screamed abnormally: "Stop talking!" Ke Subie lowered his voice and said to Zong Xianghua: "Master Zong Guard, please calm down, what they said is definitely unreasonable." Zong Xianghua was startled and said, "Are you going to betray the king?" Ke Subie smiled wryly, "I only hope to save Longquan." Zong Xianghua bounced off the boat, flipped over, threw herself to the shore, skipped the small back garden without entering, and went away quickly. Ke Subie looked back at the direction where she disappeared, and said helplessly: "Don't worry, you two, the chief guard of Zong is a man of understanding and temperament, and will never report this matter to the king." Xu Ziling was afraid that someone from Daming Zunjiao would come to fetch the boat and bump into him, so he said: "Let's move to a secluded place and discuss it later!" With Suzaku's gate in sight, Kou Zhong had no choice but to take a risk, and moaned tremblingly: "My lord general, can I make a proposal on behalf of you all?" Gong Qi and Han Chao'an, who were riding side by side in front, looked away at him impatiently, while Luo Yi and the others looked at him with beating hearts. Kou Zhongzao withdrew his eyes, pretended to be panic-stricken and bowed his head and said: "We are all famous businessmen in Pingyao, as long as..." Gong Qi shouted loudly: "Shut up!" Kou Zhong still pretended to be terrified and made the last effort: "We can promise not to tell anyone." Gong Qi said angrily: "Say one more word, and I will cut off your tongue." When Luo Yi and the others didn't know what happened, Han Chao'an reminded Kou Zhong and hurriedly chatted with Gong Qi. Kou Zhong secretly laughed, knowing that Han Chaoan was playing tricks, and realized that if he leaked out afterwards that Han Chaoan had been imprisoned in the inner palace and Song Shidao was accused of being killed, then everyone would suspect that Han Chaoan was the murderer.At the very least, Gong Qi didn't want to take this matter into his own hands. It's not a joke to become the son-killing enemy of "Heavenly Sword" Song Que, let alone become the mortal enemy of Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling. Therefore, not only can the two not let Pingyao Shang know about it, they even have to hide it from other Su Mo soldiers, which will greatly reduce the number of people Kou Zhong has to deal with. The only question is how he can get out to prevent the tragedy from happening, so he has to play it by ear. The mule cart was escorted back and forth through the Suzaku gate and entered the imperial city. Sure enough, Gong Qile's horse stopped, and he issued an order to hand over the Sumo Mohe soldiers in the team to the young general who guarded the gate, leaving only a dozen cronies who were known to be wolf robbers by their appearance and seven subordinates of Han Chao'an. Gong Qi said to the gatekeeper: "Immediately report to the king, all Pingyao merchants have been arrested and taken to the inner palace for imprisonment." Then he issued an order to drive the mule cart to the gate of the inner palace. Kou Zhong applauded in his heart, Gong Qi's next move would be to send them to a secluded place, stay for a while, and send them to the prison after they finished their affairs. The power of praying to gods and worshiping Buddha gathers his ears, he concentrates on the conversation between the two, and his mind enters the realm of Jing Zhongyue. As he expected, when he reached the gate of the inner palace, Gong Qi leaned over and said a few words to Han Chao'an. Kou Zhong smiled wryly in his heart, because he couldn't hear a word. Entering Miyagi, Gong Qi deliberately fell behind, gave instructions to one of his subordinates, and then said: "Brother Han, please go to see the king on your own, the general has other important matters at the end, so I won't accompany you." Han Chaoan said happily, "You are welcome, General Gong." Under the guidance of Gong Qi's wolf thief, Han Chao'an left the team and galloped towards the main hall. Except for Gong Qi, only Kou Zhong knew that the two had made an appointment to meet outside the inner prison, so as to take Song Shidao's order. Ba Fenghan and Xu Ziling disembarked from the boat and walked around to the main entrance of the small back garden. The former smiled and said, "I wish I could break in and kill anyone I see, and I'll be happy and clean. It's a pity that Ziling doesn't like this style of work. If it was Kou Zhong, I would definitely raise my hand in favor.” Xu Ziling said: "The thing I want to do most now is to rush into the palace to save people, but such recklessness will only make Ke Subie unable to carry out his arduous task of lobbying other generals. Time is running out, so we have to be patient." They learned from Ke Su that Bai Ziting sent them here to inquire about Daming Zunjiao's intentions, to see if they would still support him when the situation took a turn for the worse. The Great Ming Venerable Sect came here in full force today, with the intention of replacing Fu Nanda's Tianzhu Sect.According to Ke Subie, they hoped to unite the forces of the Sumo and Huihe tribes, take advantage of the fierce internal struggle between Jieli and Tuli, and expand the political influence of Daming Zunjiao. Unexpectedly, people are not as good as heaven, and he played the "five mining stones" card to Fu Nanda, who felt the crisis, forcing Bai Ziting to put all his eggs in one basket to face the invasion of the Turkic army. Send reinforcements with other intentions.Even if the wolf army is repelled, Bai Ziting will not only be coerced by Fu Nanda and Gai Suwen, but will even be killed, and the Great Ming Zunjiao will have no place to live in Longquan. The disadvantages of the Great Ming Zunjiao do not stop there. The Bodhisattva successfully regained the lost power in Huihe, which represented the fate of the Daming Zunjiao being expelled.Ke Subie's information proves that Du Xing is telling the truth. Ba Fenghan picked up the door knocker and knocked heavily. His voice spread far into the small back garden, and he said calmly, "Remember! Lie Xia is mine." Footsteps came. A female voice rang out, "Is that distinguished guest?" Ba Fenghan responded lightly: "Is Mr. Lie Xia there? Please let me know that it is Ba Fenghan and Xu Ziling who are looking for him." The doorman's woman's breath immediately became tighter, and she said, "You two, please wait a moment." The footsteps go away. Ba Fenghan stroked the door and said: "This door is very strong, do you think I can break it with one palm?" Xu Ziling smiled wryly, "Don't be so violent!" Ba Fenghan laughed in surprise and said: "I heard from Kou Zhong that when you were in Chang'an, you pretended to be Yueshan and went to Chao Gongcuo's mansion to seek his bad luck, and you just broke in without saying a word, where is the pride at that time going now? " Xu Ziling shook his head and sighed, "I'm surrendering now! Maybe the wicked will have to be punished by the wicked, brother, please let it go, and my younger brother will fully support it." Ba Fenghan laughed and said: "How can I force Ziling to be difficult, come here!" With a sound of "Yi Ai", the door parted to the left and right, showing a smiling Lie Xia, before he had a chance to speak, Ba Fenghan flew out and kicked him in the chest right and left. Lie Xia screamed, and quickly flew back, landing in the open space in front of the stone steps of the main house. As if nothing had happened, Ba Fenghan stepped across the threshold with his hands behind his back, laughed and said: "Good skill, worthy of being the head of the five Mingzi taught by the Great Ming." Xu Ziling followed him into the garden. Lie Xia protested with a look of grievance: "Brother Ba, even if he wants to try his foolish skills, he doesn't need to come face-to-face as soon as he opens the door. What if he gets killed?" Ba Fenghan looked around, there was no one else except Lie Xia, he smiled spontaneously: "I have the time to test your skills, today I came here to seek bad luck, whether you can survive depends on whether you Lie Xia has that ability."
