Volume 6 Chapter 4 The Secret(2/2)
?"
Kou Zhong sighed and said, "Don't worry! I guarantee that Yu Wenhuaji will not be alive for many days. Then Hunjun is about to have him operated on."
Gui Xiliang sneered and said: "You are really stubborn. Yu Wenhuaji didn't take Hunjun seriously at all. The gang leader had a good relationship with him before his death and said that he would even dare to steal Hunjun's women."
Kou Zhongse changed his mind and said, "Do you know which woman he stole?"
Guixin said: "Of course it is the most beautiful one, otherwise why would you take the risk to steal it? Do you think your life will be long?"
Kou Zhong felt bad. The most beautiful people around Yang Guang were Concubine Xiao and Concubine Zhu. Concubine Zhu was from the Baling Gang, so there should be no problem.
But if it was Concubine Xiao, then Yu Wenhuaji should have known that he and Xu Ziling had made a special trip to Jiangdu to harm him.
The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became. I was still in the mood to talk nonsense with this kid, so I hurriedly left.

Xu Ziling was waiting for Kou Zhong empty-handed, and the latter asked curiously: "Where are the clothes?"
Xu Ziling said angrily: "All the silk and satin clothing and old clothing shops were looted and closed down. Everyone said that wherever the foolish king went, there would be no law and order, and the people's feelings were so lost that I really wanted to punch him to death. Hey! Yours
Why do you look so ugly?"
Kou Zhong looked out and saw a group of Sui soldiers passing by. He lowered his voice and said, "Do you see anything strange about these Sui soldiers?"
Xu Ziling thought he was referring to Dugu Sheng and others who sent people to capture them, and responded: "It doesn't seem like anything. From what I see, the morale of the army is scattered. Even if there is an order, no one will be willing to carry it out with all their heart."
Kou Zhong sighed: "I'm not worried about this problem, but Yu Wenhuaji may have gotten wind of it and learned about his situation.
Quick! Let’s go find Sister Su and talk about it on the way!"

Xiangyushan is worthy of being a talented person. His hiding place is in the southern suburbs outside the city, not far from the Yangtze River. If there is an incident, it is very convenient to leave by water or land.
On the surface, it looks like just an ordinary house, but it is the secret lair of the Baling Gang.
When the two entered the courtyard, they immediately sensed a difference in the atmosphere. One of the Baling Gang leaders whispered: "Dugu Sheng, Fei Yun is here."
Kou Zhong had already guessed this situation, so he laughed and walked into the hall without fear.
Xu Ziling, who was following behind, had a strange feeling. His good brother was no longer the boy he was before, but now a tough guy who could face any tyrannical enemy.
Dugu Shengsheng was sitting in the middle of the hall with his majestic sword. On one side were Xiangyu Mountain, Su Su and Sister Xiao, and on the other side was Fei Yun, who had an unkind expression. But Yun Yuzhen was nowhere to be seen.
There were five or six big men in brocade robes standing on each side. It was obvious at a glance that they were masters of the imperial guards.
Dugu Sheng's eyes flashed sharply and he shouted in a deep voice: "What do you two mean by this?"
Kou Zhong stopped leisurely, glanced around, and said with a smile: "My two brothers also want to know what it means. They are happy to call us slaves and treat us like prisoners. Hey! Let's comment."
Xiang Yushan glanced at Su Su who was frightened and pale with concern, stood up and said, "It will be good if Brother Kou and Brother Xu come back. This is just a small misunderstanding. Come on! Sit down and talk."
Fei Yun showed off his authority, slapped the armrest with his palm, and shouted: "What's the misunderstanding? Yushan, please sit down for me and let's clarify the matter first."
Seeing that Su Su was frightened, Xu Ziling felt the same and sneered: "I don't understand why we are still entangled at this moment. If you are smart, run away now. I'm afraid it will be too late."
Dugu Sheng heard something in his words, stretched out his hand to stop Fei Yun who was about to have a seizure, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Xu, can you speak more clearly!"
Kou Zhong interrupted: "I just heard the news that someone among the Holy Emperor's favorite concubines is secretly having an affair with Yu Wenhuaji. So our plan is no longer a secret. What would you do if you were Yu Wenhuaji?"
Everyone's expression changed at the same time.
Fei Yun also suppressed his anger and asked: "Where did this news come from? Do you know she is the concubine?"
Kou Zhongdao: "It was said by someone from the Zhuhua Gang. I heard that the deceased former gang leader was from Yu Wenji, so I learned about it."
Fei Yun cursed: "It turns out it's this thief who doesn't know how to commend himself."
Listening to his tone, one could tell that if the death of the former Zhuhua Gang leader was not directly related to him, it was inseparable from it.
Dugu Sheng said to one of his subordinates: "Zhu Ming, did the soldiers of the Yuwen family do anything unusual today?"
The tall and thin Zhu Ming shook his head and said: "We have closely monitored Yu Wenhuaji, Yuwen Zhiji and Yuchi Sheng. They are no different from usual."
Dugu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It is groundless and has no reason. Since Yu Wenhuaji has always been able to enter and leave the palace freely, this is indeed possible. Fortunately, I have been prepared. No one is allowed to leave the palace for these two days..."
Xu Ziling interrupted him and said: "Now is no longer the time to comfort ourselves. Didn't all the people who looked after us escape last night? If some of them turned to Yu Wenhuaji and communicated secretly with the concubine who was a traitor, Yu Wenhuaji and that
Know your situation clearly."
Sister Xiao interjected: "Who has the military power now?"
Dugu Sheng replied: "The holy bodyguards are all people who have followed me for many years. There should be no problems. As for whether some of them have different intentions or have been bribed, I don't even dare to vouch for them."
Fei Yun joined in: "Besides the personal guards, there are the garrison of Jiangdu itself and the Imperial Guards who came with the Holy Emperor. The former is commanded by Yuchi Sheng, and the latter is commanded by Sima Dekan. Neither Yu Wenhuaji nor Yuwen Zhiji have any authority.
Ask directly about the military affairs."
But his tone softened and he said: "I did have something wrong, and I would like to sincerely apologize to the two little brothers. Without further ado, we must take action before Yu Wenhuaji knows about this matter, and destroy Yuwen's family in Jiangdu.
Those who have been killed must be uprooted, otherwise there will be endless troubles. Please two of you and I will pay homage to the Holy One immediately. Your Holy Majesty has returned to the royal city."
Xiang Yushan also advised: "The two eldest brothers are also on this trip to avenge their mentor. While Yu Wenhua and He still don't know about this, act quickly, otherwise you will never look back if the opportunity is missed."
Kou Zhong said calmly: "Is there really no sign of military mobilization or rebellion?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard his tone.
Susu couldn't help but said: "What is Xiaozhong thinking of? Tell me quickly!"
Xu Ziling, who was as intelligent as Kou Zhong, came to his senses and asked: "How many people did Sima Dekan bring to chase Dou Xian, and when did they set out?"
Dugu Shengju said in shock: "You said he wants to rebel?"
Kou Zhongdao: "The sergeant's escape is entirely his responsibility. How is his relationship with Yu Wenhuaji?"
Zhu Ming's expression changed: "Before setting off this morning, the Commander did go to the General Manager's Mansion to look for Yu Wenhuaji and Yu Chisheng."
Fei Yun stood up and said in a trembling voice: "That's not right! There is no reason for him to bring twenty thousand people to chase Dou Xian's hundreds of people."
Xu Ziling said: "His pursuit of Dou Xian is just a bluff. According to me, he will lead his army back tonight at the latest, and when Yuchi Sheng and Yu Wenhua are ready, they will enter the palace."
Fei Yun's face became extremely ugly, and he said anxiously: "This matter is not trivial. We will enter the palace immediately and report to the Holy One."
Kou Zhong shouted: "Wait a minute! We can accompany you to take this risk, but we must let our sister leave Jiangdu first so that we will have no worries."
Dugu Sheng and Fei Yun exchanged glances, both hesitant to make a decision. Without Su Su, these two boys would have no idea how to get back if they try their best to escape, and time would not allow them to do so.
Su Su said sadly: "No! I will wait until you come back before leaving."
Kou Zhong smiled bitterly and said: "When there is an incident, no one can leave. This house may no longer be a secret to Yu Wenji."
Xiangyushan patted his chest and assured Dugu Sheng and Fei Yun: "My two eldest brothers are both daring people, and they have a deep grudge against Yu Wenhuaji. You two adults can rest assured."
Dugu Sheng reluctantly nodded in agreement.
