Chapter 576 Chapter 12 Fighting Together

When Xu Ziling returned to the nest of affection, what awaited him was Wanhou who had gone and returned. She was still so beautiful, and she returned to her usual indifferent and determined demeanor, as if there was nothing in the world that could make her fall in love.But Xu Ziling felt that she was different from before, but what kind of difference?He couldn't say it. It wasn't until he stepped into the inner hall and saw her sitting peacefully and leisurely on the chair by the window that he knew that she was here, and he couldn't feel it in advance.The biggest reason for this unfavorable situation is because he was worried that Kou Zhongzhi was out of his mind.

Houhou looked at him coldly, and said with slightly parted lips, "Where does Ziling go shopping at such a night?" Xu Ziling sat down beside her, and said in a deep voice, "Did you use me last night?" Hou Hou frowned and said, "Don't say it so harshly, okay? He is isolated and helpless now, so you should help out of righteousness!" Xu Ziling shook his head in displeasure and said, "If you want me to help you, why don't you ask me openly and honestly, and you're trying to lie to me! Your crying and crying for Master's sorrow is all fake. The intention is to arouse my sympathy for you first. Heart, and then use your understanding of my long-lived true energy to help you cultivate to the highest level of perfection in the Heavenly Demon Dafa, am I wrong about you?"

After a moment of silence, Wan Wan asked calmly, "When did Ziling wake up?" Xu Ziling didn't expect her to admit it frankly, and a dangerous warning sounded in his heart!Forcibly suppressing the pressure of injustice, he said lightly: "I'm so stupid! I didn't know for sure that I fell into your trick again until the moment I saw you just now." Wan Hou stared at the space ahead, her voice turned cold, and said: "Zi Ling, don't insult me ​​again. I am struggling to survive now, otherwise I have to surrender to Shi Zhixuan. You help me become the new master of the Yin Gui sect, I will help you get rid of Shi Zhixuan, everyone will benefit, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds."

Xu Ziling smiled wryly and said: "You are really thoughtful, you must want to get rid of Shi Zhixuan more than I do! He is the biggest obstacle for you to unify the magic way." Houhou let out a charming laugh like a silver bell, shook his head and sighed: "Zi Ling is wrong! And he is very wrong. As long as I bow my head to Shi Zhixuan, he will be afraid of loving me, and maybe even take me in as well." Be his woman, let me be his right and left arm. But you and Kou Zhong are thorns in his eyes. He can tolerate Kou Zhong because he can use him to contain Li Shimin, but the relationship between you and Shi Feixuan is his. It's intolerable. The bigger problem is that your two cultivation bases are improving by leaps and bounds every day, and one day you will become figures like Ning Daoqi and Song Que, deeply threatening the existence of my Holy Gate. Believe it or not That's fine, Shi Zhixuan will never miss the chance to kill you."

Xu Ziling became confused when he heard it, but what he said made sense, but when he faced Shi Zhixuan, he really felt that because of Shi Qingxuan's relationship, at least for now, he didn't have the intention to kill him.However, it is an indisputable fact that no one can fathom Shi Zhixuan's true intentions. Hou Hou finally looked at him, the originally cold eyes were replaced by complex and difficult expressions, and said softly: "Can you trust me? The last time Shi Zhixuan let you go was because he was hurt by the death of Master Zhu, The internal injury has not healed so far, so I use Shi Qingxuan to stabilize you, once his internal injury is completely healed, then not only will you suffer, Shi Qingxuan will also be murdered by him. Shi Zhixuan is a person without human nature, and must not be judged by ordinary people. "

Xu Ziling broke into a cold sweat secretly, because Houhou's analysis was very convincing, and what he said was very likely to be true.Also, Concubine Shi Xuan once said that after Shi Zhixuan "recovered", the first thing she wanted to kill was her own daughter, saying that a tiger's poison will not eat a child is a different matter for a murderous Shi Zhixuan.He could disbelieve Houhou, but he had to believe in Shi Feixuan's prediction, not to mention that he had personally told Shi Feixuan that he would try his best to get rid of Shi Zhixuan. That night Shi Zhixuan was clearly going to deal with Hou Xibai, but because of his intervention, he changed his plan and pretended to meet him exclusively, and persuaded him to go to Bashu to find Shi Qingxuan, maybe because he didn't want him to stand in the way and hinder his unification The plan of the magic way.

Houhou's words came into his ears word by word: "To kill Shi Zhixuan, now is the last chance. Otherwise, if he fully recovers, even if the world's three great masters join forces to deal with him, he will still be able to kill Shi Zhixuan." The ability to escape safely." Xu Ziling still sticks to the last line of defense, not to mention that Shi Zhixuan is the great virtuous monk sitting in meditation, and said in a deep voice: "Even if we have the intention to kill him, where should we find him and how to do it?" Hou Hou said: "I will figure out a solution for this, as long as you agree to fight side by side with me. Ziling! For yourself and for others, don't miss this once-in-a-thousand-year opportunity."

Xu Ziling turned his head to look at her, and Houhou's gaze suddenly became as sharp as a blade, as if he could see through his inner thoughts. Xu Ziling's heart trembled, and he clearly felt that Houhou's essence, energy, and spirit had all been greatly improved compared to before, and he was no longer the same as before. Houhou's tone was surprisingly calm and peaceful, and he said lightly: "One word from you can determine the future fate of my Holy Sect." Xu Ziling felt his heart beating rapidly, exhaled a long breath, tried to calm himself down, and said decisively after a while: "Okay!"

Kou Zhong wakes up naturally from meditation, the first light just sees through the window, a new day begins, and new troubles follow. It is impossible to make a real plan for the assassination of Wang Shichong, and can only play by ear.As the war was approaching, any disturbance in Luoyang City could not be hidden from the eyes and ears of Wang Shichong and Rong Fengxiang. Therefore, Yang Gongqing and Zhang Zhenzhou could neither mobilize troops nor dare to tell other generals who had different ideas, so they had to make good psychological preparations with their trusted confidantes. There is only one chance to kill Wang Shichong. If he misses one hit, Wang Shichong's personal guards will counterattack. There is no second chance.Wang Shichong himself is a real master, although he is not as good as Du Fuwei and Chao Gongcuo, but if he is alarmed in time, it will definitely be no problem to block him with all his strength.So Kou Zhong must create the most favorable situation, seize the opportunity, and give him a fatal blow.As for what will happen after the successful assassination of Wang Shichong, only God knows.

Thinking of this, Kou Zhong secretly sighed, vaguely felt that assassinating Wang Shichong was a risky move, a gamble of life and death. The sound of hooves sounded outside the house, approaching from far away. Kou Zhonggong pierced his ears and was immediately taken aback. The house he lives in is located in Zeshanfang in the south of the city, next to the Tongjin Canal, which has a front lane and a back river. Now not only are dozens of riders galloping to each end of the street, but also the sound of speedboats breaking through the canal. Surrounding the entire small courtyard, could it be that the assassination plot has been revealed?

The probe grabbed Jing Zhongyue who was resting on the side of the bed. Wang Xuanying came in from outside and said, "Young Commander, open the door." Then there was a knock on the door. Hou Xibai came back smelling of alcohol, Xu Ziling was still sitting on the chair, the former sat down beside him, and said excitedly: "Did you steal it?" Xu Ziling said angrily: "Thanks to you still having such leisure, among the masters of Mie Qing Dao, who is surnamed Xu?" Hou Xibai shook his head in disappointment, and said: "I only know one 'Tianjun' Xi Ying in the Dao of Mieqing. This Dao is secretive in the two sects of the Holy Gate, but the tone of Master Shi when he mentioned them should be quite related to them. That's right; because Mieqing Dao has always supported the unity of the Holy Gate, did you meet this person last night?" Xu Ziling recounted last night's experience in detail, and Hou Xibai's drunkenness subsided a little immediately, and his expression changed: "Mieqing Dao is willing to join forces with the Yin Gui sect, isn't there a master Shi to preside over it?" Xu Ziling frowned and said, "What's so strange about this? Didn't the Yin Gui faction once cooperate with Xi Ying in Bashu to lure Song Que to Bashu?" Hou Xibai said solemnly: "Then why is it the same? At that time, Zhu Yuyan was still alive, at least nominally the leader of the Holy Sect, but Master Shi was suffering from a strange disease. No one in the Holy Sect would accept it, let alone It will not be easy to form an alliance, and now only Shishi is qualified to unite the various systems of the Holy Gate that are like a mess of sand." Xu Ziling's heart moved, and he began to understand that the isolation and helplessness that Houhou said was not against his will. After Hou Xibai stayed with him for a while, he let out a long breath and said, "If Master Shi forces me to express my opinion, what should I do?" Xu Ziling reached over, grabbed his shoulders, and persuaded him earnestly: "Can you find a remote place to avoid the limelight?" Hou Xibai dreamily said: "Then what should you do?" Xu Ziling smiled wryly and said: "I want to throw everything away and immediately go to Luoyang to find Kou Zhong, and force him to disband the Young Commander's Army and give up his delusion of striving for world hegemony." Hou Xibai looked at him suddenly, shook his head and said, "Aren't you joking? Kou Zhong is the kind of person who naturally loves to be hired on the battlefield, just like I love to go to the brothel to snuggle with the red and the green." Xu Ziling let go of the hand on his shoulder, and said weakly: "Recently, he has repeatedly expressed that he is tired of the war. Now Luoyang is a dead end, or I can take this opportunity to persuade him." Hou Xibai sighed: "Sometimes I get tired of the life in the brothel, but I can't leave it? Because there is nothing else that attracts me more. All my special skills, such as reciting poems, playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, all come to Brothels are the only places where people can appreciate them, and they can resonate with them. So is Kou Zhong, the battlefield is the place where he can best show his strengths, and if he wants to live like you, our young commander will definitely not be able to do it." Xu Ziling said dejectedly, "You seem to know him better than I do." Hou Xibai forced himself up, and said: "Ha! I decided not to leave! If I want to leave, I will think about it after finishing the scroll of hundreds of beautiful pictures that will last forever. Ha! I plan to write a hundred poems on the scroll, and each poem Describing a beautiful woman is a feat that no one has ever done before. If you can make persistent efforts to steal the "Cold Forest and Qingyuan Picture" back, things will be even more perfect." Xu Ziling couldn't help but pour cold water on him: "What will you do when your stone teacher comes to you?" Hou Xi Baihao suddenly became excited, and said with a smile: "Just argue with him! Who told him to teach me to be such a person who only loves romance." Xu Ziling shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "You seem to have completely lost your fighting spirit. Could it be that my encouragement to you didn't work at all?" Hou Xibai said dejectedly: "Even if you master the seal of immortality and defeat Yang Xuyan, so what? If Master Shi is determined to kill me, I will still be unable to escape his murderous hand." Xu Ziling said: "Your elder brother seems to come back from the brothel every morning, with the same dejected appearance of a defeated rooster, with no fighting spirit! But at night, he will be reborn as another person. Get a good night's sleep! See you at dusk." Hou Xibai stared blankly at him standing up, and said, "Don't you want to go to Chen Fu to learn how to run a betting shop again?" Xu Ziling shrugged and said, "Or go and say hello to Ji Qian first, where is her Xiangju?" Kou Zhong's thoughts turned, and he quickly analyzed the situation in front of him.It is related to his own life and death, and whether to help Wang Shichong defend Luoyang. If Wang Shichong intends to kill him, the smartest thing he can do is to break out of the encirclement and escape immediately, and then ignore Wang Shichong's affairs. But unless Wang Shichong knew that his subordinates were assassinating him, it would be unwise to kill Kou Zhong.Not only has the relationship with Dou Jiande broken and deteriorated, but also the Young Marshal Army in the southeast has become his sworn enemy. So the current problem might just be Wang Xuanying's private actions.Wang Shichong didn't know it, even if it was not easy to deal with, it was better than Wang Shichong's masters to surround and kill him. Kou Zhong replied: "Prince, don't be restless, my younger brother will open the door to welcome you." He carried Jing Zhongyue on his back, and put the robe made by Chu Chu with a hidden sun-piercing bow on his left shoulder, and walked leisurely go ahead. Just pushed open the door of the front hall, before stepping down the steps, the latch snapped with a "bang", and the outer courtyard door was slammed open, Wang Xuanying rode his horse to lead the way in, followed by a man with a murderous face and wide-eyed almond eyes. of glory. In the blink of an eye, the courtyard was full of murderous Zheng warriors on high horses, and Wang Xuanying's personal guard masters. Everyone glared at Kou Zhong and put their hands on their weapons. Kou Zhong understood, he laughed and said: "If the crown prince fights against Li Shimin's Xuanjia fighters with such a mood that he can't even open the door, he will definitely lose." Wang Xuanying pointed his halberd and said angrily: "Shut up! Let me ask you, our Dazheng regards you as a distinguished guest, why did you go to the Rong Mansion last night to kill people and set fire to it? Did you not take our Dazheng seriously?" Kou Zhong scratched his head and said, "Do you want me to shut up or answer." Wang Xuanying was furious. Rong Jiaojiao scolded: "I still have to make excuses to make excuses, if I have you today, I won't have me, come on!" Kou Zhong yelled: "Wait a minute! Let me ask you first, is the crown prince coming here according to the order?" Wang Xuanying was slightly astonished, and immediately said angrily: "Killing you mere Kou Zhong, do you still need to ask Father for instructions?" The subordinates who came along realized that Wang Xuanying was not ordered by Wang Shichong to kill Kou Zhong, and they all showed hesitation.If Wang Shichong blamed him for this, Wang Xuanying would at most be reprimanded, but they, the subordinates, would have to bear serious guilt. Kou Zhonghao said leisurely: "I almost misunderstood! I thought the crown prince was avenging his own private revenge. It turned out that it had nothing to do with the public. It was purely a personal revenge. He wanted to stand up for a girl from a gang. Hmph! Now that Xin'an has fallen, the Li Clan's army is coming to Ci At this moment, it's rare for the crown prince to have such a leisurely mind and to mess around. What good is it for you to kill me in Dazheng? Unless the crown prince thinks that your father doesn't have enough enemies to enjoy the fight, otherwise, we You shouldn't do it." Wang Xuanying's face turned red and then white, apparently after being reminded by Kou Zhong, he began to think about the serious consequences of killing Kou Zhong. Knowing that it would be difficult for him to step down, Kou Zhong turned to Rong Jiaojiao and said, "How is brother Xu Yan doing? Without Miss Rong to accompany him in Chang'an, his life must be lonely and unbearable." Wang Xuanying was startled and looked at Rong Jiaojiao, his eyes shot out a look of jealousy and hatred. Rong Jiaojiao was so angry that her face turned pale, and she said to Wang Xuan angrily: "Don't you want to listen to the nonsense he made in An Bai, and still not do it?" Kou Zhong added fuel to the fire: "If the prince is willing to go to the side and listen to the younger brother's heartfelt words calmly, he should know whether the younger brother was born in An Baizao." Then he drank to Wang Xuanying and said, "You guys come and evaluate, I, Kou Zhong, are not afraid of facing the thousands of horses and horses of the Jieli Golden Wolf Army, will I slander others at this time to save my life?" Of course no one around Wang Xuanying dared to answer, but looking at his expressions, he knew that his words were both intimidating and convincing. Wang Xuanying's eyes were suddenly full of murderous intent, almost crazy, he looked at Kou Zhong, and said in a deep voice, "No matter how eloquent you are today, you will not escape death." Kou Zhong looked up to the sky and said with a long smile: "If I had known that the Prince's mind is determined, I, Kou Zhong, would not have to spend so much time talking. If you are a hero, I will take three swords from Lao Tzu. If I can't capture you alive again within three swords, I will kill myself on the spot." .” With fiery hatred and humiliation in Wang Xuanying's eyes, he shouted wildly: "Fuck your mother! Fuck me!" Kou Zhong secretly sighed in his heart, given this fool's trouble, the plan to assassinate Wang Shichong will be ruined, if a large number of Zheng Guo soldiers are killed and wounded at this moment, God doesn't know how to deal with this mess.
