Chapter 1108: News, Old Friend
This alley is only two walls away from Longtou Mansion, whether this person is the "Shadow Assassin" Yang Xuyan or not, the masters and guards of Longtou Mansion will come over quickly, if this person insists on taking the lives of Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling first, then he will probably not be able to leave before the masters of Longtou Mansion arrive......
Now Kou Zhong can only bet that this person doesn't want to make any more trouble, otherwise the lives of their two brothers will really be over! Within a few moves, Xu Ziling was hit by the enemy's palm, he took the opportunity to fall to the ground and roll, and came to Kou Zhong's side, Xu Ziling coherently hugged Kou Zhong and rolled around to avoid the enemy's chain palm, and then took off into the air without pause......
The terrible enemy was about to continue his pursuit of Ssangyong, but the sound of his clothes breaking through the air sounded all around, and after a slight pause in his footsteps, he finally flew away in the other direction.
At this time, Xu Ziling held Kou Zhong and rushed wildly, and in the middle of this hurry, he always clenched his teeth and his face was as hard as a stone, until he jumped into a private house, Xu Ziling felt that his hands and feet were soft, and he was in a cold sweat, and after shouting "big brother", he almost knelt on the ground unsteadily.
After finishing Shen Luoyan, Liu Yu, who came back from a detour, saw this scene, hurriedly greeted Kou Zhong and took Kou Zhong's hand, walked into the house quickly, put the person on the bed, tore Kou Zhong's coat, and what caught his eye was the roster that had been pierced by a sharp sword and soaked in blood - in fact, if it hadn't blocked the sharpness of that sword for this roster, the sword wound would have deviated from the heart. I'm afraid that Kou Zhong has already died.
Liu Yu put the roster aside and tore Kou Zhong's shirt again. Upon careful inspection, I found that the wound had been adhered to and no blood was oozing. With a sudden relief in his heart, Liu Yu pressed his hand on Kou Zhong's heart, and passed the internal force endlessly, so I don't know how long it took, Kou Zhong finally exhaled and slowly woke up.
After all, Xing-Yang was under Li Mi's control. It is useless to stay longer: Liu Yu had considered Kou Zhong's injury, but the Heavenly Dao of this world showed him its preference for the "Son of the World...... In just three hours, Kou Zhong had regained his ruddy face and vigorous state, even if he still had internal injuries that had not healed, it would not affect his movements!
When the three of them left Xingyang, all kinds of news spread continuously66: for example, the "shadow assassin" Yang Xuyan successfully assassinated Li Mi's military advisor Shen Luoyan, so that this "pretty military advisor" Xiang Xiaoyu died. Li Mi was furious; For example, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, two young masters who were in the limelight, took the opportunity to visit Longtou Mansion at night and found out that Zhai Rang was actually imprisoned by Li Mi......
Li Mi had just lost his effective military advisor, and when he suddenly heard the news, in the face of doubts within the Wagang Army, he could only "sadly" announce that their leading boss Zhai Rang was actually Yang Xuyan's real target, and he had already been assassinated. Previously, Li Mi was trying to stabilize the morale of the army, so he didn't break out this shocking scene.
Although Li Mi blamed Yang Xuyan for all the guilt, there was always a suspicion of wanting to cover up, which made the Wagang army faintly have the hidden danger of splitting, which was of course the outcome that Liu Yu was willing to see. What's more. Regardless of whether the Wagang generals will record Zhai Rang's death on Li Mi's head or Yang Xuyan's head, it will be beneficial and harmless to Yang Jun - it must be known that Yang Xuyan is Li Valve's person. Sooner or later, this relationship will be known to the world, so when Li Mi is defeated, will the Wagang generals still be willing to follow Li Mi and defect to Li Valve? Think about the heroes in the Wagang Army: Qin Shubao, Cheng Yanjin, Wei Zheng, Xu Shiji...... Of course, Liu Yu's eyes are hot, and it is impossible for Yang Jun to let go of these talents, killing several birds with one stone, nothing more than this.
As for the roster, neither Li Mi nor Liu Yu will make a noise: Li Mi will definitely be like a thorn in his back because of the loss of the roster, which will make it difficult for him to trust the information he gets from the dark line in the future, let alone make good use of it; But in fact, the roster has long been almost destroyed, and Liu Yu is extremely satisfied with being able to use it like this.
Although Liu Yu was satisfied, how could Li Mi swallow this breath? It was on the grounds that he issued the "Pushan Public Decree" to Yang Xuyan and Shuanglong respectively on the grounds of blood feud and rumor-mongering, vowing to take the lives of three people - the order said: Anyone who can use tricks to capture the three people alive will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold, and Li Mi will use them as a military advisor; And those who take the head to receive the reward can be named the general of the Wagang Army. As one of the top warlords in the Central Plains, Li Mi will definitely have many blind followers who will come to trouble Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, but will they be afraid?
"It is really unwise for Li Mi to issue the 'Pushan Public Decree'!" Liu Yu smiled lightly and said, "As long as you two boys keep living well, he won't be able to get off the stage." The more time passes, the more his reputation suffers. What's more, you are still so high-profile and causing trouble everywhere, sooner or later you will make Li Mi cocoon and difficult to ride a tiger. ”
In order to make Li Mi suffer first, Liu Yu also specially let people release the news: Kou Zhong was stabbed by Yang Xuyan, but finally saved his life - this is not only not shameful, but it is worth publicizing, because so far none of Yang Xuyan's assassination targets have survived, Kou Zhong has such a ability, and his reputation has naturally risen a lot.
In comparison, Li Mi's boss and military advisor both died in the hands of Yang Xuyan, and Kou Zhong's "survival" was equivalent to directly hitting him in the face. Anyway, the news on the rivers and lakes is difficult to distinguish between true and false, as long as the news that needs to be told to the world can be disseminated, even if there are really doubts, it will only make the reputation of the person concerned rise, and few people will really get to the bottom of it.
For example, it is rumored in the rivers and lakes that Ning Daoqi will go to Luo-Yang during the Dragon Boat Festival to hand over He's Bi to Concubine Xuan. As soon as this rumor came out, what Li Mi, Shuanglong, Yang Xuyan, it was nothing.
"Cihang Jingzhai played a good chess hand, in just one sentence, the time, place, people and events are so clearly understood, you can imagine how overcrowded Luo Yang will be in a few months." Liu Yu raised his eyebrows and smiled, and there was a cold light in his eyes - Cihang Jingzhai was finally about to make a move, and he had really been waiting for a long time.
Kou Zhong said with a disdainful face: "This news is obviously full of suspicions, it stands to reason. Except for Ning Daoqi and Shi Feixuan, who else can know such a secret thing? ”
Ning Daoqi is known as the number one master in the Central Plains. He's Bi is the heirloom jade seal, and Shi Fei Xuan is the heir of the appearance and martial arts of Cihang Jingzhai's generation: in this news with only one sentence, it contains the three elements of the ultimate master, priceless treasure and stunning beauty, how can it not be a sensation in the world? But if you think about it carefully, shouldn't this news be known only to Concubine Xuan except Ning Daoqi? Of course, Cihang Jingzhai must also know.
Xu Ziling was also deeply puzzled by this flaw, and couldn't help but wonder: "If it's really Cihang Jingzhai spreading the news...... But they did it so obviously. Wouldn't anyone in the world doubt it? ”
"What can you do with doubts, Cihang Jingzhai can put the name of 'rumor spreader' on the head of the demon gate - in short, good things are done by Bai Dao and decency, and bad things are attributed to the evil demons and foreign ways, anyway, the people in the demon gate will not come forward to refute, they can be regarded as excellent candidates for the black cauldron." Liu Yuyun smiled lightly, and said: "There are still many months between now and the Dragon Boat Festival, and it is enough for the heroes of all parties who want to seize Heshibi to rush to Luoyang from the south and the north. However, there is no need for us to waste all this time and go to Luoyang City early in the morning to muddy the waters. ”
They had just left Xingyang, and it was only a few days' journey to Luoyang. But thinking about the current general trend of the war-torn world, how can the situation inside and outside Luoyang City be simple? Wang Shichong, the general of the Sui Dynasty, sat in Luo-Yang, and fought with Li Mi, who had just captured Xing-Yang and wanted to seek Luo-Yang, and waited until the Dragon Boat Festival a few months later. The battle situation of all parties does not know what will become - Cihang Jingzhai chose Luo-Yang, a strategic place to toss He's bi, must also have plans to fish in troubled waters.
"Big brother, do you want to get He's Bi?" Kou Zhong asked eagerly, obviously itching for He Shibi as well.
Liu Yu chuckled lightly and said, "He's Bi, who doesn't want it?" But it didn't help us to go early. It's just waiting. Cihang Jingzhai has a sentence that is quite right, and those who are destined to get it. It's just that whoever the Mandate of Heaven belongs to, it's not their turn to decide......" Even if the Heavenly Dao grants them the "Mandate of Heaven", he will turn things around!
Slowly exhaling a breath, Liu Yu looked at Xu Ziling, and then said: "According to my thoughts, Ziling might as well go to Luo-Yang first to investigate the various shapes, and by the way, make a few more friends and learn martial arts, which can be regarded as preparing for our treasure hunt in a few months." ”
Xu Ziling nodded and said, "No problem, I'll wait for the eldest brother in Luoyang." ”
Kou Zhong blinked his eyes and asked, "Big brother, what are we going to do in the past few months?" ”
Raising his eyebrows, Liu Yu said meaningfully: "Take advantage of this time, let's go to Jiangyin first and meet your old friend Zhuhua Gang." ”
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were both a little surprised, and asked, "What's wrong with the Bamboo Flower Gang?" ”
Liu Yu said with a smile: "The Bamboo Flower Gang has been affected a lot by your Yang-Zhou Shuanglong. When the people of Yu Culture were confused by Boss Yan, they really thought that you had stolen the "Recipe for Eternal Life" that Yang Guang had coveted for a long time, and after not finding it, in order to get rid of the crime in front of Yang Guang, they pushed the Bamboo Flower Gang out of the top cylinder. Yin Kaishan, the former leader of the Bamboo Flower Gang, was also killed by Yang Guang, and the Bamboo Flower Gang, which had no dragons, was transferred to Jiangyin, and Shao Lingzhou, the military advisor of the Bamboo Flower Gang who temporarily served as the helper, worked hard to revitalize the power of the Bamboo Flower Gang. However, the Iron Horse Club, which occupies the line of Jiujiang and Jiangyin, is not willing to let the Bamboo Flower Gang ease this breath, and the director of the association, Shaoming, intends to merge the panicked Bamboo Flower Gang into the Iron Horse Club......"
Kou Zhong's eyes lit up, and he said clearly: "Big brother, do you mean that we will send charcoal in the snow to help the Bamboo Flower Gang survive the catastrophe of being annexed?" ”
Shaking his head, Liu Yu smiled and said: "Not only is it to help the leader of the Bamboo Flower Gang survive the disaster, but I also plan to kill Ren Shaoming and annex the Iron Riding Club in turn!" ”
Scratching his head, Kou Zhong said helplessly: "Big brother, if you plan it properly and the timing is right, it will not be difficult to kill Ren Shaoming." However, our Double Dragon Gang is still too weak now, even if it has been secretly exhibited for a while, if we want to swallow the Iron Cavalry, I am afraid that we will not be able to catch it......"
Liu Yu waved his hand and said directly: "I have already sent some elite people from the Dingyang Army to secretly go south, and they will join the Shuanglong Gang!" ”
Kou Zhong didn't have thoughts such as "installing cronies and seizing power in the air", he just asked with concern: "Big brother." Now the shape of the Dingyang army is not very good, there are Turks in the north. There is Li Valve in the south, why are you still here to divide your troops to the south? ”
"It's okay, Dingyang Jun's current strength is enough to protect himself, I won't joke with the life and death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Shuo-Fang!" Liu Yu smiled and said, "Xiao Zhong, I have long said that Dingyang Jun will support the Shuanglong Gang, no matter what you want to do, you can do it boldly." I'll hold you up...... As for the final ownership of the world, who can say for sure? It's still a sentence of 'but by ability'. ”
"Hey, in fact, being an emperor is just a pipe dream!" Kou Zhong smiled freely: "As for fighting for the world, what I enjoy more is the wonderful process of fighting for a goal, anyway, I'm so young, I don't want to play big." Do you want to run back to the countryside early to retire? To tell the truth, if there is a day when we can each occupy half of the country, then you will be the emperor, and I will be the generalissimo, and let Ling Shao be the prime minister. Ha, brothers work together to break gold! ”
"Yo, I became the emperor, and it turned out that the generalissimo and the prime minister were all decided by Xiao Zhong...... What do you want me to say? ”
"Do you still need to be polite between you and my brother?" Kou Zhong blocked back what Liu Yu had said just now. and Xu Ziling smiled brightly.
Liu Yu patted Kou Zhong's shoulder and said with a smile: "Then follow what Zhong Shao said." My Generalissimo. ”
############################################################
At this time, the Bamboo Flower Gang was going to hold a bamboo forest conference to elect the gang leader, and the good people would try to avoid going out, and the people who came and went on the street were all men with swords and swords, which added a bit of slaughter to the Jiang-Yin City.
Kou Zhong turned his head slightly and said to Liu Yu, who was half a step behind him, "The atmosphere in the city is unusual, has there been an accident?" ”
Along the way, whenever he entered the city, Liu Yu would put on the mask that covered his edge to hide his identity, of course, at this time, of course, it was no exception, he changed his voice, and said calmly: "There must be many people in the Bamboo Flower Gang who want to defect to the powerful Iron Cavalry Club, that is not surprising at all, we don't need to care about these miscellaneous things, just go directly to the Bamboo Flower Gang's station to cut through the mess." ”
Kou Zhong bowed slightly, strode forward, and went straight to the gathering place of the Bamboo Flower Gang. Seeing that they were about to reach their destination after a few more streets, they were suddenly intercepted by someone - "Huh?! Are you Xiao Zhong? ”
When I looked closely, the person who came was a young man with a well-proportioned figure and seemed to have two martial arts, and he was wearing the clothes of the Bamboo Flower Gang Incense Master.
"Xiliang?" Kou Zhong blurted out the other party's name, and the old memories came flooding back: this person was one of his and Xu Ziling's childhood gangster friends, with a gentle temperament, but very righteous, named Gui Xiliang. There was also a guy by his side who also made Kou Zhong feel familiar, this man was thin and scheming, named Xingrong, and he was also a gangster who used to have a good relationship with Ssangyong.
Kou Zhong looked at the clothes on Gui Xiliang's body, and saw that there were three bamboo leaves embroidered on the placket, and he couldn't help but be slightly surprised: "When did you become the master of incense, didn't you step on the top of the heads of many old guys?" ”
"Thanks to the helper, he can afford to accept me as an apprentice, but it's a pity...... Alas! Gui Xiliang sighed with emotion, then put aside his sorrow, looked at Kou Zhong, and said happily: "It turned out to be really you, I wasn't sure at the beginning, I haven't seen you for more than a year, Xiao Zhong, you have changed so much, what about Xiaoling?" By the way, the person you followed with the surname Yan caused a big disaster last year and was chopped up, fortunately you were not affected, I was a little worried about whether you fled away from home, and now how can you come to Jiangyin......"
Regarding the matter of Yuwen Valve and "Longevity Formula", I am afraid that no one in the Bamboo Flower Gang understands the inside story, even if it is the boss who is the culprit who is talking nonsense, he must have done it in a daze, Gui Xiliang and they are of course even more unaware of the situation, but when it is the reunion of old friends after the passage of time, everyone is both emotional and happy - in the troubled times, old friends meet, and everyone is living well, it is really worth celebrating.
"Xiliang, your changes are not small......" Kou Zhong laughed sincerely and heartily, interrupting Gui Xiliang's long-lost ramblings, and said happily: "It's so small, the more it looks like it, I said at the beginning that you would mix it up, and I was right!" ”
Xingrong saw Kou Zhong hanging a long knife on his back, and said with a smile: "Look at Zhong Shao, you are also Rong Guanghuan, and you stole a weapon from nowhere, you should be doing well!" As he spoke, he glanced at Liu Yu, who had been smiling and speechless, and asked, "Who is this brother...... Zhong Shao, you haven't introduced us yet. There is also Ling Shao, he ......" mentioned Xu Ziling, and his fortunate face, which has always been clever, has a little apprehension on his face. Thinking about it, he probably thought that Xu Ziling had an accident.
"Where did you think of it, ha!" Kou Zhong was stunned and smiled, and said, "Young Master Ling is very good, he has a beautiful girl to hug, so he didn't go with me...... This time I came to Jiangyin to do something big! As he spoke, he pointed at Liu Yu and introduced: "His surname is Liu, and he is the military advisor of my Shuanglong Gang." ”
"Double Dragon Gang?!" Gui Xiliang and Xingrong glanced at each other and laughed. Apparently it was just when Kou Zhong was joking, and when he remembered that they were gangsters in the past, Kou Zhong had mentioned his daydream of founding the Double Dragon Gang countless times - and now that they heard the word again, they suddenly felt a lot of nostalgia.
Gui Xiliang sighed and smiled: "Don't brag nonsense, Xiao Zhong, we are all grown up." Do you want to follow me in the future? Brothers, I have something to eat. It's absolutely indispensable for you, tonight when Shao Junshi becomes the helper, I will officially recommend you to him to join the gang, of course, Xiaoling, where is he holding a beautiful girl? Ha, call him back. ”
Kou Zhong chuckled mumbly. Skipping this matter, he asked rhetorically: "Can Master Shao be the helper?" ”
Xing Rong said: "In terms of prestige and status, Shao Junshi really doesn't think second to each other in the gang, but the situation is not so simple. ”
Gui Xiliang nodded and added: "Now everyone wants to get involved in our Bamboo Forest Conference, you have also heard of Ren Shaoming." The traitor...... Hum! ”
Xingrong said again: "Fortunately, now Song Valve's distinguished guests are guests in our gang, otherwise Ren Shaoming will definitely be more unscrupulous." ”
Kou Zhong's eyes narrowed. subconsciously glanced at Liu Yu, and then said to Gui Xiliang: "Let's go, take us to see the Bamboo Forest Conference." ”
"There's no problem with taking you there, but don't make trouble for me...... Gui Xiliang babbled instructed, Kou Zhong only nodded blindly, obviously not listening, and the four of them went to the Bamboo Flower Gang's station.
originally thought that with Gui Xiliang and Xingrong leading the way, Kou Zhong and Liu Yu would not need to fight all the way in, but they didn't expect that the final result would not change - at this time, among the four halls of the Bamboo Flower Gang, three hall masters had been enveloped by Ren Shaoming. Although the military advisor Shao Lingzhou is still resisting, in fact, he has also beaten a lot of Xiao Jiujiu in his heart, as for Gui Xiliang and Xingrong, as the descendants of the first gang leader, they are basically hollowed out, and even the gang guarding the door dares to show them a look......
Losing face in front of his old friends, even if Gui Xiliang's temper was good, he couldn't bear it, and scolded angrily at those guys who were fake and mighty: "The Bamboo Flower Gang hasn't hung the banner of the Iron Horse Club yet, you dare to commit it, if you really become Ren Shaoming's lackey, wouldn't you even be able to kill your parents?!" ”
If you don't agree with each other, it is naturally a big fight, but what Gui Xiliang and Xingrong didn't expect was Kou Zhong's ability - I saw him draw his knife and rise up, and kill all the way in with a cold expression, when Kou Zhong stepped into the courtyard gate, there were already enemies on the ground behind him, but although they were seriously injured, no one was in danger of their lives, which shows that Kou Zhong was very measured when he attacked.
Gui Xiliang, who was stunned, looked at Liu Yu, who was standing with his arms crossed and looked indifferent, and asked stumblingly: "Dare to ask Brother Liu, Xiao Zhong, when did he become so capable of fighting?" ”
Seeing that Xingrong also had a ghostly expression, Liu Yu chuckled and said, "Haven't you two heard of Uncle Kou Zhongkou's name?" ”
When they were gangsters in Yang-Zhou before, most of them shouted nicknames and nicknames to each other, Gui Xiliang and Xingrong really had no memory of Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling's big names, and it was only at this time that they were shocked, "It turns out that Xiao Zhong and Xiao Ling are the famous Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling!" Gui Xiliang and Xingrong suddenly felt that they should probably pounce on Kou Zhong's thigh.
When Kou Zhong killed in the inner hall, he met the three hall masters who had taken refuge in Ren Shaoming, and he naturally broke the killing ring, so when Shao Lingzhou and the remaining hall master led his disciples over, what he saw was the three hall masters who were separated and the gang members who were crying for their fathers and mothers...... Naturally, there is also the majestic Kou Zhong who stands on the sword.
Shao Lingzhou shook his beard and shouted tremblingly: "Where did you come from! You...... You ......" He saw Gui Xiliang and Xingrong who were following behind Kou Zhong with a dull expression, and he was so excited and indignant that he couldn't even speak. The well-informed Bamboo Flower Gang Hall Master recognized Kou Zhong's identity and whispered a few words in Shao Lingzhou's ear.
