Chapter 558 Chapter Seven: The Psychic Falcon

Suddenly, Bi Xuan swayed quickly to the left and right, and transformed into a few figures that were hard to distinguish from reality, just like incarnations, even Shi Zhixuan's phantom magic body technique is no different. Ba Fenghan stopped immediately, the Stealing Heaven Sword steadied and stretched out, the sword pointed at Bi Xuan who was two feet away. Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling complained at the same time, knowing that Ba Fenghan couldn't see through each other's falsehood. Bi Xuan laughed, folded his hands together into fists, and slammed into the space in front of him, making a muffled sound of "Peng".

Ba Fenghan, who was two zhang away, felt as if he had been struck by lightning, he was jolted, took half a step back, and the Stealing Heaven Sword made a "clang". Bi Xuan smiled and said: "Let's end the last trick like this! You go back and practice your sword well, and don't let me kill you next time." The soldiers on both sides cheered hoarsely at the same time. The soldiers on Su Mo's side were of course because Ba Fenghan successfully passed the test and kept their young master Da Zuorong; Now let Ba Fenghan go, and everyone knows that if Ba Fenghan fights again, Ba Fenghan will definitely lose in the end, so Bi Xuan didn't use up the tenth move, not only did not damage his reputation, but also showed that he is a great master who is tolerant mind.

Shouts resounded through the sky that was gradually turning white inside and outside Longquan City, and the long and dangerous night finally passed. Accompanied by Zong Xianghua, Kou Zhong steered Qianlimeng out of the gate of Suzaku Palace with a dull expression, and rode away towards the east gate. Shang Xiufang politely declined his offer to go back to Middle-earth by boat together, and insisted on living a wandering life outside the Great Wall, let alone taking his accusations against Daming Zunjiao in her heart. There is a certain amount of admiration and affection.Thinking that it is hard to find a confidant, Lie Xia is proficient in melody, and has worked hard on the music of various ethnic groups outside the Great Wall, which is very attractive to her.

Zong Xianghua said in a low voice: "We will never forget the kindness the young commander has shown to the Sumo people." Jieli's army retreated immediately according to the agreement, and the Bodhisattva trusted by both parties was in charge of monitoring the Sumo people's demolition of the city wall, handing over the debts, and sending the Bodhisattva to Turkic. Longquan is mourning the passing away of Baiziting and Funanda, and the citizens of the city obey the order and try to stay in the house as much as possible, so the pedestrians on the street are sparse and deserted.

Kou Zhong looked at Zong Xianghua and said, "Master Zong's bodyguard, do you know that Yin Xianhe mistook you for a long-lost little girl?" Zong Xianghua was astonished. Kou Zhong explained it again, seeing that she was listening absent-mindedly, knowing that she was in a bad mood, he comforted her and said, "Your Majesty can make the wisest decision in the end, sacrifice yourself to save your people, and win everyone's respect. So as long as you support Da Zuorong well , there must be a day of comeback, the head of Zong Shiwei doesn't have to take temporary gains and losses in his heart."

Zong Xianghua sighed: "We lost our husbands a lot this time, and we will have to deal with the harsh demands of the Turkic people in the future. Jieli only let us go temporarily because of your relationship with Tuli, Bodhisattva and Gunatai brothers, but he can still Secretly supporting others to oppress us makes it difficult for us to live in the Northeast." Kou Zhong said solemnly: "This is one of the reasons why I said that you can make a comeback. To survive, you must continue to strive for self-improvement. The previous path of the king was indeed right, but the method was not correct, and he mistrusted the monster. Your position is in the prairie In fact, we are blessed with so many seaports and wharves in Bohai Bay, so that you can grasp the lifeline of shipping. As long as you are willing to do a lot of shipping business, you will be able to continue to revitalize. I will tell the young lady about the situation when I go back, and she can bring you both benefits. If you have a lot of profits, you will have power if you have money. You are afraid of Abaojia and Tiefuyou. As for the Turks, their main goal is to unite all the tribes in the prairie, and then invade the middle land. If you can make full use of this God-sent opportunity, will definitely do something.”

The east gate was in sight, Xu Ziling, Ba Fenghan, and Song Shidao were waiting for him with their horses. Zong Xianghua was refreshed when he heard that, her eyes brightened, she nodded and said: "Thank you for your guidance, young commander, we will definitely live up to the young commander's expectations." Kou Zhong patted his horse and sped up, laughing and said: "You don't need to send it off! If I didn't die in Luoyang, Zong's guard will definitely come to visit when he travels in the mountains and rivers in Zhongyuan." Zong Xianghua reined in his horse to bid farewell, watching Xu Ziling and his three get on their horses, gallop out of the east gate with Kou Zhong like a whirlwind, and disappear on the sunny prairie in the afternoon.

(Author's note: Su Mo people were the ancestors of the Manchu privet people, and Da Zuorong later established the country as Kou Zhong expected. During Xuanzong's time, he was conferred the title of Governor of Huhan Prefecture, General Zuo Xiaowei, and King of Bohai County by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty. The name of the country is "Bohai", fulfilling the grand wish of Baiziting.) The four rode their horses at full speed and galloped towards Xiaolongquan. The grassland quickly flew back under the ups and downs of the horseshoes, and the four of them felt refreshed and happy, and felt that the trip was worthwhile.

Song Shidao shouted: "Aren't you really leaving immediately without saying hello to Tuli?" Kou Zhong said harshly: "It's better not to see each other, I'm afraid I can't help but have a big fight with him." Ba Fenghan said, "What's the fuss about? What can be changed after a quarrel?" Xu Ziling first galloped up a small hill, reined in his horse and stopped, looking in the direction of Xiaolongquan. Yesterday morning they were studying the plan of attacking Xiaolongquan at this high place on the edge of the forest. The three reined in one after another and came to Xu Ziling's side. The latter sighed: "Unless we return to Shanhaiguan by land, we must see sudden profits."

The three of them took a closer look and only agreed.It turned out that new tents had been erected in the wild around Xiaolongquan Stone Fort. Under the slanting sun, the tall flags of the Black Wolf Army were blowing with the long wind blowing from the bay. Tuli is actually waiting for them here. Ba Fenghan sighed: "I don't want to get together with you for a while, please send my regards to Miss, see you in Luoyang!" Kou Zhong was shocked and said: "If you say so, let's go, ha! His grandma's Xiong, this trip to the prairie is indeed extremely enjoyable. In my opinion, Bi Xuan didn't use the tenth move, he just wanted to cover up his ugliness."

Ba Feng snorted coldly: "I hope the Battle of Luoyang will not disappoint me. As long as I have another year of practice, I will make Bi Xuan regret his arrogance." Song Shidao happily said: "Regarding martial arts as a practice is really brilliant. Your practice in the prairie today will establish your lofty status inside and outside the Great Wall, but the most shocking thing is still Feng Han and Bi Xuanxian's ten strokes. A battle of life and death." Ba Fenghan smiled and said: "However, the happiest person is not me or Kou Zhong, but Young Master Ling, who once fell in love with Fairy Shi, and now is sending the jade flute to another Fairy Shi, embarking on another journey A happy journey." Xu Ziling lost his voice: "I'm the happiest?" Song Shidao expressed his feelings: "People who go with the situation, don't take gains and losses to heart, and don't compare themselves with others will always have a little easier time." Kou Zhong said emotionally: "Second Brother's words are deeply philosophical and thought-provoking. I wonder if Second Brother will go back to Lingnan after this matter is over?" Song Shidao shook his head and said, "If I go home, I'm afraid I'll never be able to step out of the house again." Kou Zhong winked at Xu Ziling, watching him think of a way, Xu Ziling's heart moved, and said, "Second brother, can you help me deal with the butchers first, and then go back to Xiaogu to be my maid?" Song Shidao sighed, and said lightly: "I understand your intentions, alas! Let me think about it! You really understand me." Ba Fenghan smiled and said: "Brothers! I'm going!" He turned his horse's head and let out a whistling, urging the horse to go away. Kou Zhong looked at his back as he disappeared into the forest, and asked Xu Ziling, "Is Lao Ba seriously injured?" Xu Ziling said: "For a person who is practicing Dafa in another day, as long as he does not die, no injury can trouble him. When you entered the palace to see Shang Xiufang, I helped him heal his injuries, and he was already very well. Worry." Kou Zhong said happily: "Since that's the case, let's go!" The three of them passed through the camp, and all the Tuli soldiers who saw them shouted and saluted, with a respectful and friendly attitude. They went straight to the open space in front of the main tent, Tu Li was talking with the Gunatai brothers, Yue Kepeng, Ke Zhuan and others, when they saw the three of them approaching, their eyes lit up, and they laughed loudly: "My good brother is here!" Song Shidao met him in Luoyang before, so they are old acquaintances. The three of them kicked off their horses, and both Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling found that the muscles on their faces suddenly became stiff, and they couldn't squeeze out a smile in response. Tuli greeted them in a row, seeing his posture, he was about to hug them, but seeing their expressionless expressions, he hurriedly stopped and said, "Where's Fenghan?" Kou Zhong said coldly: "He's gone!" The Gunatai brothers, Yue Kepeng and others sensed the strange atmosphere between the two sides, so they stayed at a distance knowingly and let them talk. Tu Li sighed, "Are you blaming me?" After Song Shidao greeted him, he went straight to the Gunatai Brothers and the others to introduce himself. The remaining three looked at each other, the atmosphere was heavy and awkward, and they all had the uncomfortable feeling that they didn't know what to say. Kou Zhong spread his hands and said, "What do you think we should do to you? We worked hard to defeat Jieli with you, but you flicked your tail and went to make peace with Jieli. We wanted to rely on you to negotiate terms with Jieli last night." , but you hid in Xiaolongquan to rest, let us fend for ourselves, and you still talk about brothers and keep silent about brothers, so what kind of brother is his grandma?" Tuli smiled wryly and said: "I'm afraid that you are the only Marshal Kou scolding me like this in the world, and I don't feel disgusted by Tuli. Alas! Damn, you know the pressure I'm under. Bi Xuan came to me personally and asked me to fight against Zhan. Make a choice at this time, and show that if I refuse to talk and repair, Xieli will fully support the idiot Bai Ziting. Am I capable of fighting a full-scale war on two fronts? One is not good! Give Bai Ziting to unify the Mohe tribes At that time, which side should I take care of? If you fight with Bai Ziting, you will lose both sides, and it will definitely be Xieli who will take advantage." Xu Ziling didn't want Kou Zhong and him to have such an argument, and Tuli was very tolerant, and even explained in a low voice, nodded and said: "We didn't think so carefully." Tu Li sighed: "Assuming that it was Ba Fenghan and not Bi Xuan who defeated Hulunbeier, I would try to persuade the tribe to fight to the end with Xieli. But the fact is just the opposite. The condition of my peace with Xieli is that he must not As far as you are concerned, even if you don't consider me a brother, as far as I am concerned, you will always be my good brothers." Kou Zhong's face was slightly relaxed, only a little angry said: "Then why do you know that we are in Longquan, and still attack with Jie Li, almost exhausting us?" Tu Li said dumbfoundedly: "Please forgive my ignorance, your grandma, how did I know that you wanted to save the people of Longquan, and thought you were going to fight Bai Ziting to the death, and I came to besiege the city to help you." Kou Zhong sighed: "Okay! This sum counts as a pass for you, but what if your brother didn't show up on purpose last night?" Tuli said with a bitter face: "You know that one of the other conditions for me to make peace with Jieli is that Longquan must be razed to the ground, and Baiziting and Funanda must be divided into five horses. This is said in front of all the Turkic chiefs. What I, Tuli, cannot be articulate. If you stand in my position, what will you do? I have to accept Bi Xuan's proposal and let Jieli handle the matter in person. You guys think about it. Frankly speaking, I just want to stay out of it for a while, and I don’t know how conflicted and painful I am.” Kou Zhong was silent for a while, then opened his hands and said: "Okay! We are still brothers, I accept your dilemma." Tuli hugged him tightly, and the Black Wolf Warrior and Gunatai Brothers, who were watching the development of the situation, immediately burst into applause that shook the entire coastal area. Tu Li hugged Xu Ziling again, and then happily said: "Young Commander, please see the gift that brother brought you." He clapped his hands vigorously. A majestic Turkic general came out of the main tent with a smile on his face. The two recognized him as the first vanguard under Tuli, Li Mingshe, and saw a juvenile falcon standing on his outstretched hand. , covered with a leather helmet, with chains on the feet, and fastened it to the leather wristbands.Because the head was covered, he could only tilt his head left and right to concentrate on listening to the changes in the environment, and he looked pitiful. Seeing this, Kou Zhong was overjoyed and said, "Is it for me?" Belgunatai and others gathered together to watch the young eagles. Tu Li hugged Kou Zhong's shoulders tightly and said: "This is a high-quality falcon that has been selected from thousands of people. It is only eight months old. If you can follow our method to train it, it will help the young marshal to fight for the rest of his life. The world, unify the Central Plains." Li Ming shot his head and pointed at the helmet and said: "Don't underestimate this leather helmet. Not only is it soft and hard, but also there is a gap inside, so as not to press its eyelids, and the size difference will not be small." Then he lifted the helmet. Everyone gave out admiration. Bugunatai cheered and said: "You can tell it is a psychic high-quality falcon at a glance, look at its eyes! How sharp and powerful." The falcon fluttered its wings, raised its head and glanced at the crowd without fear, with a heroic posture looking at the earth. Tu Li happily said: "Practice is not easy. First of all, let it understand what is good for it and what is harmful to it. Look at the chains of its anklets. To make it stop pecking, I don't know how many times I have taught it. Time. Our secret is patience and love, only if it feels your love for it, it will be loyal to you." Kou Zhong itched, "Will it obey me?" Li Mingshe smiled and said: "I will first pass on the secret method of the Young Commander's Eagle Words, and then tell the Young Commander how to practice eagles. One night should be enough." Tu Li suddenly walked to the side with Kou Zhong in his arms, and said in a low voice: "Brothers, tell Yi Rui directly, the act of giving away the eagle today is a very unusual thing for our clan, and it is impossible to tell others about the general breeding method. However, when it comes to eagle words and training methods, can the young commander promise me not to tell anyone, Ziling is certainly not limited to this." Kou Zhongzao was full of joy, he patted Tuli on the shoulder vigorously, and said: "I promise you!" Suddenly there were cheers and applause from all around. It turned out that Li Mingshe untied his anklet and let Yinger fly up. The falcon circled at an altitude of sixty feet. Kou Zhong raised his head to watch, the more he watched, the more he loved it, thinking that in the future it will hover in the sky above Luoyang City, reporting to himself the situation of the Li Clan's army, and he felt an unspeakable feeling in his heart. The sky was drizzling again, making the lights of the stone fortress, camp, wharf, shipyard and moored ships dim and dim, and there was a desolate feeling of parting and parting. There is still an hour before dawn, after dawn Kou Zhong and others will return to Middle-earth by boat, and the sheepskin goods will be stored in the cabins of the three big ships.Majin's three boxes of treasures were divided among Gunatai Brothers, Yue Kepeng, and Kou Zhong, and they were regarded as spoils of war. Xu Ziling and Tu Li had a private conversation at the farthest pier, talking about Ba Daier and Ba Fenghan. Tu Li said: "Ziling don't worry! No one understands Ba Fenghan better than Ba ​​Daier, she just doesn't want to be reconciled to Ba Fenghan's refusal to meet her for so many years! Everything should be lightened. " At this time Kou Zhong came looking for them with his precious falcon, and shouted excitedly: "It turns out that raising eagles is such a profound and difficult knowledge, and female eagles are stronger and more powerful than male eagles. This is the female eagle." Eagle, can I bring him back to breed later, to give birth to his mother's flock of eaglets. Look at how shiny and shiny his coat is, and his toes and claws are as hard as iron. Ha!" While talking, he sat down on the other side of Tuli, and said casually: "What are you talking about?" Ever since Shang Xiufang returned without success, it was the first time for him to return to his heroic and unruly nature. Tuli said: "We talked about many issues, Xieli will let me watch over them, and ensure the safety of Longquan City. After you leave, I will hand over Xiaolongquan to Sumo people, so you can go back to the Central Plains with peace of mind!" He also said: "If you can't defend Luoyang, don't accompany Wang Shichong to die in the city. With Song Que's support, you still have a lot to do in the south. It is the most wise move to go north after holding your ground." Kou Zhong sighed: "No, I must defend Luoyang to the death, otherwise once Bashu is lost again, Da Luo Jinxian will not be able to stop Li Shimin's army from going south." Then he said in his heart, "Why didn't you see that boy Yin Xianhe? Didn't he get drunk again and become unconscious!" Xu Ziling smiled wryly. Tu Li was stunned and said, "Who is Yin Xianhe?" The sound of hooves suddenly sounded, and it came from afar. The three of them looked with their eyes, and it turned out to be another Turkic young master, Kadzhi, who was as famous as Ba Fenghan.
