Chapter 9 The Well Moon Winner(1/3)
Kou Zhong walked into the hall with a smile and met Yun Yuzhen. Xiang Yushan looked expectantly when he saw Xu Ziling leaning against the window with a carefree and joyless expression and asked curiously: Ling doesn't want to know who the traitor is?
Xu Ziling said lightly: Such a young girl is your opponent, Mr. Zhong, unless she doesn't know about it at all.
Xiangyushan couldn't help but asked: What's the result?
Kou Zhong sat down opposite the two of them and said, "It's one of your guards named Ouyang Ji. Do you know what to do?"
Xiangyushan left without saying a word with murderous intent in his eyes.
Kou Zhong winked at Yun Yuzhen and said, "Master Meiren'er, are you interested in going out to the city with my two brothers? I promised to give the poor girl a ride!"
※※※
In the next few days, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling tried their best to urge Duan Yucheng and the others to practice martial arts. The four of them knew that this was a matter of honor, disgrace, life and death, and the two talented masters made rapid progress under the guidance of their hard work.
For the rest of the time, the two of them put aside everything and traveled around with Su Su to make her happy as much as possible.
Time flies by quickly.
They will leave for the north tomorrow morning.
Xiao Mian held a farewell banquet for them.
There was an extra guest at the table. It turned out to be Xiao Huan, the eldest sister of Xiao, who had just returned from Lingnan. However, Xiao Huan's left field marshal Zhang Xiu led his army to the battlefield in the morning and was unable to attend.
As usual, the charming Sister Xiao winked at the two of them.
After a round of drinks, Xiao Mian said: Bai Wenyuan, who secretly attacked Ziling sect Pei Yan that day and took the opportunity to escape, turned out to be a new master of Jingjian Sect and Zhu Mei's current face. He is quite famous in Sichuan. I wonder if he joined Zhu Mei because of her beauty. Zhu Can.
Kou Zhong laughed and said: "Now, the term used by Mr. Xiao is really wonderful. In just one sentence, people will know that Zhu Mei has had countless fights in the past!"
Sister Xiao rolled her eyes at him and said: It is definitely not a good thing to be Zhu Mei's partner because she is suspicious, jealous, and hooks up with other women and often kills her to vent her anger. Therefore, people in the world call it poisonous spider Bai Wen. It was originally because of suspicion. It takes a long time to stick to her.
Xiangyushan smiled and said: How can the two elder brothers like this kind of vulgar fan? However, Zhu Mei's hands were extremely hard and she had learned that Zhu Can Jiucheng's true biography was true. That night, she had no power to fight back because she was frightened by the two elder brothers' fight to kill Ren. The young man’s reputation is unknown and he doesn’t know the situation, so he must run away!
Susu worriedly said: Since she is a narrow-minded person, she will not let it go. You two must be careful.
Yun Yuzhen smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister Su. In terms of intelligence and ability, Ling is by no means inferior to anyone. Sister Su, think about it. The only ones they have suffered since their debut have been others. When have they been the ones who have tried?"
Sister Xiao smiled wildly and said: Gang Leader Yun looks so impressed, he must have suffered from the two of them before!
When Yun Yuzhen's pretty cheeks glowed, she winked at the two of them and said: "Sister, I have never experienced the feeling of being at a disadvantage!" Seeing her openly teasing the two of them at the table, Su Su frowned in displeasure.
Xiao Mian also couldn't stand Naimei's promiscuity and changed the subject: "There is one thing that I still can't figure out to this day how the two brothers discovered that Zhu Mei, Shen Faxing and others were waiting outside the city? They are all old people in the world. They hid it from everyone.
Naturally, Kou Zhong would not reveal the truth about Xu Ziling's mysterious telepathy. He said nonsense: This is purely a speculation. It's ridiculous. Our initial guess was not them at all, but the evil monk and Yanni. Who knew that we accidentally bumped into them and found them? It would be a big mistake for them. What bad luck!
Xiangyushan smiled and said: My brother Kou always talks in such an understatement but also talks and laughs happily. Therefore, when he is around, there will always be a happy atmosphere in the house.
Sister Xiao couldn't help but wonder: Why is General Xiang still the Kou brother on the left?
Su Su said happily: These two brothers of mine are extraordinary people, so naturally Yushan respects them very much!
Yun Yuzhen also smiled and said: So I don’t think Yushan used the wrong name.
Xiao Mian chuckled and said: "Well done, these two brothers are indeed extraordinary people that I, Xiao Mian, have rarely met in my life. It is said that turning one's hands for clouds and turning one's hands for rain can turn the situation in the whole south around and make our Daliang country also."
You gain great power and power. Although you have not officially joined our army, I, Xiao Xian, already regard you as my own family.
Then he clapped his hands and shouted: Come here!
When everyone was stunned for a while, two beautiful maids came to the table holding two exquisite brocade boxes, one long and one short.
Xiao Mian made a gesture and the two maids presented the long box to Kou Zhong and the short box to Xu Ziling.
After the maid left, Xiao Mian said happily: "The gift is not a sign of respect. Please open the box and take a look." Kou Zhong opened the brocade box and found a steel knife. At first glance, it seemed unremarkable, but after a closer look, he felt that the handle
Although the scabbard does not have any gorgeous decorations, it always has a noble and simple taste that makes people dare not look down upon it.
Xiao Mian watched Koo Zhong take the long knife with a puzzling look in his eyes and said softly: This knife has no name, but it is said to be a magical weapon from ancient times. The strange blade has a yellow light that can be seen two hundred years ago.
It once fell into the hands of Master Ba Ling, the number one sword of the time. Later, Master Ling retired with the sword and disappeared. Then it fell into my hands. Although I don't like using knives, I still like it.
I have a deep affection and give it to Kou Di with love from my heart to show my sincerity and gratitude, Mr. Xiao.
Zheng!
Kou Shen drew his sword from its sheath.
Everyone used their eyesight, but they all felt disappointed.
The blade is dull and dull, so why does Xiao Mian's yellow light come from it?
Suddenly, the blade of the sword changed and lit up with a dim yellow light that was only perceptible but without any trace of falsehood.
Xiao Mian laughed and said, "Brother, it is true that the true energy of this sword can make the sword react. I have played with the sword hundreds of times and it has never shown a yellow awn."
Such a group of people immediately deduced that when Master Ling wielded the sword, he must have a strong yellow glow, but when the others picked up the sword, it was like an ordinary iron sword, and they couldn't help but marvel.
Kou Zhong knew clearly that Xiao Mian was trying to win over him, but he was still overjoyed and grateful and said: From now on, this knife will be called Jingzhong Yuezi, thanking Master Xiao for the gift.
Xiao Xian said in astonishment: "Why does the name Jing Zhongyue have a strong Zen flavor?"
Kou Zhong said perfunctorily: I just saw the wonderful scene in the well late at night. There is no special reason.
Xiao Mian suddenly sighed again and said: Our ancestor Xiao Yan, Emperor Wu of Liang, loved to collect magic weapons. This knife was the one he spent more than ten years sending people to conduct overt and covert investigations all over the world. Only by chance did he get it. Later, Chen Bing broke into the city.
The treasure was preserved because it was hidden deep in the underground vault.
Only then did everyone understand why he looked reluctant to leave.
Susu said curiously: "Why don't Ling see what treasure Mr. Xiao gave you?"
Xu Ziling brought the box back to Xiao Mian and said with a smile: Mr. Xiao was so kind that he accepted the box with great kindness. It is a rare treasure, but I don’t like to worry about anything, and I don’t want to know what’s inside the box. Please forgive me, Mr. Xiao.
Everyone except Kou Zhong was shocked that Xu Ziling didn't know how to pick up things.
On the contrary, Xiao Mian sighed in surprise: Brother Xu will become an extraordinary scholar in the future if he is independent and special. Not only will I not be unhappy at all, but I will also admire him even more.
Everyone was impressed by Xiao Mian's demeanor.
Kou Zhong put away Jing Zhongyue and changed the subject: I wonder if the conversation between Mr. Xiao and Sister Song that day was compatible? Mr. Xiao said: Now we are arranging how to meet Song Que, the Heavenly Sword, to face him. I have always admired him in my heart. If you can do it,
The two brothers deserve most of the credit.
Kou Zhong knew that he would not reveal the details and instead talked about the current situation. After the gathering, Sister Xiao unceremoniously followed them back to the general's mansion. She was very enthusiastic towards Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling and did not shy away from any suspicion. Yun Yu was so tired that she had a long mouth.
Su Su frowned but knew that she had such a nature that there was nothing he could do to her.
We talked nonsense in the inner hall for the whole time. Although Susu was reluctant, she went back to her room to rest first for the sake of her fetus after being advised by everyone.
Xiangyushan wants to accompany his beloved wife and takes the opportunity to escape.
Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, Yun Yuzhen and the charming Xiao Huan were left, and they immediately became embarrassed.
Xu Ziling stood up and said coldly, as if he was rejecting people thousands of miles away: "I have to excuse you too. Please forgive me. I have to go back to my room to practice in order to cope with the journey tomorrow."
Kou Zhong also stood up, but before he had a chance to talk, he was grabbed by Sister Xiao and said angrily: "How can you escape when we are so busy talking? Why don't I have a drink with you in the room?"
Xu Ziling sent him an expression of deep regret but helplessness and hurried away.
Kou Zhong saw that Yun Yu was full of energy and lowered her head in silence. For the first time, she envied Xu Ziling's girlless appearance and smiled bitterly: If I don't go to practice and spend the whole night drinking and having fun with you two beauties, you will never see me the day after tomorrow.
This is a man who has a lot of ambition but not enough strength.
※※※
Before dawn the next morning, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling said goodbye to Baling and Duan Yucheng. Bao Zhifu, Shi Jie and Ma Gui escorted four mule carts carrying salt cargo across the river and started their journey north.
The first destination is Jingling County next to the Han River.
On this trip, they learned a lesson and did not take the water channel, but walked six routes to make it easier for them to hide. At dusk, they camped in the plains to rest while their mules and horses feasted on the beautiful grass.
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling came to a pile of rocks and grass and sat down. The former sighed: Xiao Mian is really good at eating people without spitting out their bones.
Xu Ziling looked at the vying for love on the horizon and the jagged and towering peaks under the sunset. He felt an elusive and moving feeling that was beyond his reach. He sighed and said: He has Sister Su in hand and he is not afraid that we dare to take him.
What if Xiangzi married Sister Su for the sake of Mr. Yang’s treasure house, I would be the first to kill him.
Kou Zhong held his head and said distressedly: This is more serious than holding Sister Su at knifepoint to threaten us. Don't look at Xiangzi being respectful and respectful to us. In fact, he may be more cunning than the two of us combined. At least there is nothing we can do against him.
Xu Ziling's face darkened and Yuan said slowly: If I see Li Jing in the future, I will definitely ask him why he betrayed Sister Su's affection for him. If it weren't for Sister Su, he would have died in the south.
Kou Zhong was shocked and said: "Ling, this is the first time you call him by his first name."
Xu Ziling slapped a stone next to him that weighed more than a hundred kilograms.
boom!
The stone immediately split and split.
When Kou Zhong was dumbfounded, Xu Ziling let out a heavy breath and sighed: Why are there always so many helpless things in life that we know we shouldn't do, but we can't do anything about.
Kou Zhong lowered his head and said nothing, feeling deeply.
That night the two of them sat like this until dawn.
※※※
Continue on the road the next morning.
Two days later we entered the mountains.
The scenery along the way is extremely beautiful. The mountain road is hidden in the dense shade of green trees. On the way down, you can see a hundred-foot deep valley and the fields under the mountains. When you get to the top, you can see the green mountains.
To be continued...
