Kou Zhong untied his horse by the tree and rode towards Song Jingang's appointment.

The scene on the street was still the same, but he already felt that his interest was waning.

In the end, Wang Shichong could not become a great person and could only be a local overlord. Unlike Li Mi, Li Shimin and others were the figures who competed in the world. Compared with Du Fuwei, he was far behind. Although he had no plans, he always

Because of his cowardice, it is difficult to express his ambitions.

Li Mi now has thousands of reasons to attack Luoyang, but with his endurance skills, he is unwilling to take risks as long as he knows that Wang Shichong can still control the overall situation.

Otherwise, even if Li Shimin's army is defeated and retreats from Guanxi, it will be the moment of death for Li Mi. Therefore, Li Mi would rather let Wang Shichong have more glory for a while so that he can block Li Shimin, and his army will try to gain time to recuperate and replenish the soldiers.

Rejuvenate.

Could it be that the plan to deal with Li Mi fell short? The feeling of gaining and losing again is as regrettable as if the opponent suddenly throws the cards and refuses to gamble when he knows that the cards in his hand are guaranteed to win.

The current situation in Luoyang is changing every moment, and no one knows what will happen in the next moment.

What new arrangements will the Tiele people's retreat and the killing of Dugu Ba bring to the Dugu clan?

Suddenly, a light flashed across Koo Zhong's mind and he suddenly realized.

With Shen Luoyan's loyalty to Li Mi, she would never kill Dugu Ba because of personal grudges.

Just seeing Dugu Ba personally visit the Tiele people's lair, one can see that Dugu Ba, even if he is not a pro-Tiele faction within the Dugu valve, should at least be the connector responsible for threading the needle.

Shen Luoyan killed him just to destroy the relationship between the Dugu clan and the Tiele people.

Ba Fenghan did Li Mi a big favor by forcing Qu Ao to leave.

What would be the consequences if the people of the Dugu Clan knew who the real murderer of Dugu Ba was? After thinking about this, I felt dejected and knew that the Dugu Clan would never believe his words.

At this time, the horse came to the highest point of Tianjin Bridge and walked down.

Although the streets were full of pedestrians, cars and horses, Kou Zhong felt extremely lonely, as if they were living in different worlds.

His thoughts turned to Li Shimin.

His strength is indeed unexpectedly powerful. The masters of Tiance Mansion are all smart and brave people who will make people eat away if they come out.

Now that Ba Fenghan is gone, the strength of the two of them has been greatly reduced. Although they have solved the problem of Shi Fei Xuan, they have replaced him with Li Shimin who also gives him a headache, making him feel that he will be killed at any time.

Under such circumstances, should we evacuate immediately and get out of Yang Gong's treasury before Li Shimin returned to Guanzhong? After arriving in Luoyang, it was the first time that he wanted to retreat.

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and turned around, determined to go to the imperial city first and try to find Xu Xingzhi. He even forgot about Song Jingang's date.

Xu Ziling!

Xu Ziling put the secret book together in his arms and said coldly without looking back: How are they going to harm us this time?

Shen Luoyan came to him and sat down Yingying and sighed: Why is the sky playing such a trick on people and placing you and me in a hostile position?

She was dressed in plain white, and her slim jade face had some indescribable and charming charm in its beauty.

Xu Ziling's anger suddenly disappeared.

In this time of chaos, she has to use her wits and strength to fight against people with different positions. It's like everyone at the gambling table is trying their best to win all the money into their own pockets. What's the point?

It's someone else's fault.

Shen Luoyan said calmly: Let's go! Wang Shi's inflation limit is too late and you can't even leave.

Xu Ziling was still recalling the astronomical knowledge he had just gained from Lu Miaozi's masterpiece, and his heart felt peaceful and clear.

Calmly said: Tell me how I can tell whether your suggestion is malicious or kind?

Shen Luoyan said quietly: Let me tell you one thing. Dugu Ba's body has been found and the scars on his body are almost certainly caused by you and Ba Fenghan.

Xu Ziling was slightly stunned, then he came to his senses and said with a bitter smile: What a clever plan to frame the blame!

Shen Luoyan was surprised that he didn't get angry. After a long while, he lowered his voice and said: "Every time I want to hurt you, the pain in my heart cannot be explained to outsiders. Do you understand? You'd better leave!"

Xu Ziling felt something was wrong but didn't know what the problem was.

If Shen Luoyan had not been sure of victory in this battle for the Eastern Capital, he would not have spoken to himself in this tone and manner.

He intuitively felt that she persuaded him to leave after a lot of inner struggle and revealed a conspiracy that he should never know.

If the Dugu clan desperately avenges Dugu Ba and they are completely unprepared, his and Kou Zhong's lives will indeed be in danger.

Shen Luoyan raised her head and looked at him with her beautiful eyes and said: If you want, that's all! Even the ones who shouldn't come out are real men who can bend and stretch. Zi Ling, take care!

The last sentence was as quiet as a gnat, and Shen Luoyan left as if he was about to run for his life.

Xu Ziling stood up and took a deep breath.

The only thing he should do now is to find Kou Zhong to see how to deal with the angry Dugu clan.

Kou Zhong was thinking about how to find Xu Xing without attracting attention. Song Mengqiu called him from behind and said: "Brother Kou, Master Shangshu is looking for you."

Kou Zhong stopped at the entrance steps of Shangshu Mansion, turned around and saluted: General Song must have been very busy these two days, otherwise how could I feel like I haven't seen General Song in a long time?

Song Mengqiu came to him and took his hand, walked inside and entered the door. He stopped and said: These days we don't even have time to sleep, so even Lord Shangshu has to find something to relax.

Kou Zhong had not had a good impression of this man from the beginning, always feeling that he was tactful, hypocritical and misspoken. However, in order to find out what was wrong with him, it was better to start with him than to ask Wang Shichong directly and had to give him a perfunctory answer first; I really can't think of anything. It can make those of us who don't have a good night's sleep forget our worries.

Song Mengqiu pretended to be mysterious and whispered in his ear: Of course she must be a woman and the most beautiful beauty. Her voice, color and art are so beautiful that one can even forget his father's last name.

Kou Zhongcha forgot about Xu Xing's great wonder: Who is the beauty with such charm and power?

Song Mengqiu happily said: Of course, Shang Xiufang, who is known as the best courtesan in the world, who else is worthy of being praised for her beauty, beauty, and skills besides her?

Kou Zhong thought that it was her.

When Fu Qian first engaged Qu Aoyu in Manqingyuan, Wang Boben invited her to perform in public, but he, Xu Ziling, and Ba Fenghan ruined it. And they also wanted to take Shangguan Longzhi and her away. Yuan Xianyi couldn't tell whether she had performed before, and it was funny even thinking about it.

Song Mengqiu said proudly: Mr. Wang knew that she would enter Guanzhong after singing the Rong Fengxiang play tomorrow night, so he tried every means to invite her and set up two banquets, so he asked us to find you to take advantage of the excitement.

Kou Zhong touched his belly and said, "What time is it now? I have just had enough to eat and I am drunk. I want to stuff more than half a bun, but there is nothing I can do."

Song Mengqiu didn't know that he wanted to take advantage of Wang Shichong's busy time to find Xu Xingzhi. He laughed dumbly and said: "Brother Kou, are you laughing at the drunken man? You don't mean the food and wine?" Shang Meiren is known to love taking naps, so if he wants to ask her out, he can only come after Wei Shi. Bar!

Kou Zhong walked with him for two steps, stopped and said: I have to go and make myself comfortable first, lest it would be terrible to be reluctant to leave when we had a wonderful view after sitting down. Ha!

Song Mengqiu could only say: See you later!

Kou Zhong secretly called God to help me and escaped.

Xu Ziling came to the horse and caressed its neck lovingly while thinking about how to go about finding Kou Zhong.

To find Kou Zhong, he first needs to find out where Song Jingang is currently staying in Luoyang. He can only contact Ren En from the Green Snake Gang in Luoyang. He has a solution than he can.

Just as he was about to fly on his horse, someone approached him quickly.

Xu Ziling looked away and saw a young, thin man dressed as a servant walking towards him from a distance. His features were pretty and he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

The young man showed a friendly smile and waited until he came to him and said: Master Xu, don't you recognize Tongtong? When Master Xu and Liu Shuai met that day, they even poured you tea!

Only then did Xu Ziling remember that it was Tongtong, a pretty woman he saw at his place of residence after reuniting with Liu Heitai. She was now wearing men's clothing, so he couldn't remember it for a moment, otherwise how could he forget it with his photographic memory.

In terms of beauty, she is certainly not as beautiful as Shen Luoyan or Song Yuzhi, who has an all-powerful beauty. But she is better in that she is simple, beautiful, cheerful and easy to get close to. She also has a unique temperament.

He smiled and said: Is your dressing up skills inherited from brother Zhuge Dewei? There is no flaw in a woman pretending to be a man. I still remember Brother Liu praising your flying knife.

Tongtong's pair of beautiful eyes lit up and she said happily: I didn't expect Master Xu to be so arrogant when he first met you, and he was still afraid of you!

Xu Ziling was stunned and said: What do I have to be afraid of?

Tongtong said excitedly: I'm not really afraid, I just think Master Xu is the kind of person who doesn't talk much and always keeps a distance from others. You know! Master Xu is so famous.

Seeing her innocent expression, Xu Ziling smiled like a child and said, "That's just me pretending to scare the girl." Then he frowned and said, "Didn't you follow Brother Liu back north? It's too dangerous to keep you here like this."

Only then did Tongtong seem to remember something and she glanced around and said: "It's too revealing here. Can Mr. Xu follow Tongtong to talk somewhere else?"

Xu Ziling couldn't bear to reject this delicate beauty. He was unsure, but he could find out where Song Jingang lived from her. "No problem, but I have important things to deal with, so I can't spend too much time." Tongtong said happily: It will only take one moment. You can leave the horse here and we will have someone to look after it for you.

Hearing her words, Xu Ziling immediately knew that she was not alone in Luoyang and happily went with her.

Kou Zhong came to the entrance of the main hall where the banquet was held in Shangshu Mansion and sighed inwardly before stepping through the door and entering.

The guard saluted solemnly.

He had just wandered around asking everyone he met, and finally learned from a pretty maid that Xu Xingzhi was also a guest attending the late lunch.

In the past, he would have been valued by Wang Shichong because of his empty deeds, and he was happy now because he had retreated in his heart. This situation can only add to the troubles.

Even if there is a way to inform Xu Xing of his decision, it is not appropriate for both of them to leave the meeting at the same time or one after another with excuses.

The hall was full of people when the banquet was open for two tables, and people lined up at the south end of the hall.

On the east side of this gorgeous hall, more than a dozen men and women who look like musicians sit and wait in silence, obviously the team accompanying Shang Xiufang.

Even though there were nearly fifty people in the hall, including the maids and maids who were waiting on them, most of them kept strictly quiet. Even though some people were talking and laughing during the banquet, they were very careful, and it felt like an official entertainment.

The arrival of Kou Zhong immediately attracted everyone's attention. Wang Shichong, the chairman, laughed and said: Mr. Kou, please come here!

It seemed that this was the first time that Kou Zhong was called sir, and he immediately got goosebumps all over his body. As he pretended to greet everyone, his eyes quickly conveyed a message to Xu Xingzhi who was sitting at the other table, and he didn't know whether he could understand it before he turned to Wang Shichong's table.
