It was dusk and dusk. The faint afterglow spreads throughout the city, the air is filled with a strong smell of burning cow dung mixed with fragrant wine, the carriages and horses are sparkling, and the merchants from all over the world come here alone or in groups from the east city gate, this ancient city in the south of the Yangtze River is full of people at this moment.

Kong Sheng stood in the corridor of the inn, looking at the scene in front of him, with a slight emotion in his heart. The prosperous Jiangnan seems to have nothing to do with the chaotic times, but the overall situation of the Tang Dynasty from prosperity to decline has been decided, and it is difficult for Jiangnan to be alone under the nest.

At this time, a long procession of carriages and horses passed by, and the carriage proudly displayed the banners of the Yixing Zhou business, which attracted the attention of many pedestrians.

Kong Sheng raised his eyebrows, and the hand holding the trunk tightened slightly. At a glance, he saw Zhou Chang, a radiant scholar sitting on a tall horse, dressed in a chic robe, shaking a folding fan in his hand, and smiling calmly, sweeping away the decadence of fleeing from Jiangning in embarrassment.

Zhou Chang returned to Jiangning. Kong Sheng couldn't help but feel a little vigilant in his heart, and his eyes fell on the endless flow of chariots and horses of the Zhou firm. He had a strong premonition that Zhou Chang would come this time because of the good ones, and the bad ones who didn't come. It seems that it is almost impossible and unrealistic to quietly hide in Jiangning City, facing Qin Huai, waiting for the spring flowers to bloom and come to work.

People are harmless to the tiger's heart, but the tiger is hurtful; The trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop, the mountain rain wants to come and the wind is full of buildings, but what can I do?!

Kong Sheng sighed lightly, turned around and walked slowly down the steps, into the lively street, blending in with the walking crowd, and following Zhou's convoy. As he expected, although most of the Zhou's carriages and horses stopped in front of an inn to settle down, there were still five or six carts that continued to move forward, heading straight for the Yang Mansion in Tongma Lane.

Kong Sheng stopped and stopped following.

He walked across the Cross Street into an alleyway, walking down a narrow, damp alleyway, with moss-covered moss on the high walls of the houses on either side, and occasionally the barking of chickens and dogs.

Suddenly a cold wind swept through his neck behind him, Kong Sheng was shocked, and almost reflexively rushed forward, his body prostrate on the ground and immediately turned over.

He raised his eyes and saw a flowing white shadow swooping down from mid-air, holding the sword in his hand and stabbing down with great agility but magnificence, and the cold murderous aura of the blade was close at hand.

At the last moment, he pulled out the sword given by Sima Chengzhen on his waist in the electric light and stone fire, and struggled to go up a gear, only to hear a loud sound, and the sword blade that the man in white stabbed down was blocked alive, and the force was so great that the man in white could barely hold the hilt of the sword, and the sword almost wanted to fly away.

At the moment of life and death, the fierce fierceness in Kong Sheng's bones surged, he roared, ejected from the ground, jumped forward, and hugged the waist of the man in white with both hands, with a child's unreasonable attitude and clumsy posture, picked up the man in white and fell to the ground, and then pounced on it without asking a question of punches and kicks.

The man in white was caught off guard and couldn't react, and more importantly, Kong Sheng's brute strength was too much stronger than him, the so-called one force to ten meetings, in the face of super strength, any skill would be suppressed to death.

Kong Sheng's naughty child-style entanglement and fighting method is obviously simple but very effective, the sword in the hand of the man in white was knocked away, and he just had the idea of resisting, and he was hit several times on his face and body, and he was so fierce and ruthless that he was dizzy and his brain was blank.

I thought that the man in white was a well-known chivalrous man on the rivers and lakes of Yanzhao, with excellent swordsmanship, and his light body skills were even more unbeatable, and he could come and go freely among the armies, but he was unexpectedly overturned to the ground today, and he was beaten head-on. No matter how advanced the kung fu and swordsmanship, they can't do it.

The man in white was so ashamed and indignant that he didn't know whether he was angry or ashamed or beaten up, so he rolled his eyelids and kicked his legs and fainted on the spot.

By the time the man in white came to his senses, he was already in the main hall of the long-abandoned Chenghuang Temple in the city, firmly tied to a huge wooden pillar in the temple, and a ball of linen cloth was stuffed in his mouth.

The quiet moonlight shone through the dilapidated and airy leaks on the top of the temple, the dim candlelight flickered, the man in white struggled slightly, slowly opened his eyes, and the heroic but fierce face of Kong Sheng in front of him was infinitely magnified.

The people in white sighed secretly in their hearts, they had experienced countless winds and waves, but they capsized in the gutter; After hesitating again and again, he finally attacked Kong Sheng, but he didn't expect the ending to be so bleak, and it was really fate.

Speaking of which, this is also because the man in white did not intend to ask for Kong Sheng's life, he wanted to stab a sword and seriously injure Kong Sheng, reluctantly give Liu Nian an explanation, and then repay the love and escape. Otherwise, instead of using a sword, he would replace it with a hidden weapon, the Shadowless Needle, and Kong Sheng would be in a hurry.

Kong Sheng slowly took two steps back, and in the temple, in the swaying light, he reached out of his hand and sword out of the sheath, first picked off the cloth ball in the mouth of the white-clothed man, and then reached the vital point of the white-clothed man's neck, and said lightly: "Who are you, why did you assassinate me?" ”

The man in white took a long breath, his expression slowly calmed down, he stared at Kong Sheng deeply, and sneered: "I didn't expect you to be a scoundrel, and you have divine power!" Since it has fallen into your hands, why bother talking nonsense, killing or chopping, and leaving it to you to dispose of! ”

The corners of Kong Sheng's mouth flickered: "Looking at your appearance, you must be a Jianghu person." I asked myself if I had never offended people in the rivers and lakes, there was no injustice or hatred, and if you attacked me for no reason, someone must have instructed me. You don't have to say anything cruel in front of me, I just ask the mastermind behind you, you just say it, if you don't say it, I have the means to make you speak. ”

The man in white slowly closed his eyes. He is a high-minded and arrogant knight, and this time he made a move against his will, which was a little untenable, and he accidentally fell into Kong Sheng's hands, which can be described as a mixed taste, and I can't tell what it feels like. If he wants to bow his head and beg for mercy in front of Shen Lin, he will never be able to do it; In addition, it is even more impossible for him to confess the people behind him.

Wrong is wrong in the end, knowing that the person behind him is not a good bird, he will not open his mouth to betray. This is his character and principle as a chivalrous man.

Kong Sheng circled around the man in white twice, and his heart flashed. He judged that this man was not the kind of soft bone that could be subdued by the use of lynching force, and that if he wanted to get something valuable from this guy's mouth, he still had to use some other means.

"Sword name meteor, there is a road guide in the bag, your surname is Mu Changfeng, from Yizhou, Hebei Province. I heard that Yan Zhao is a chivalrous and righteous high-roller, you actually attacked me, a weak scholar, for no reason, didn't you lose the face of Yan Zhao's chivalrous man and the people in the rivers and lakes? Well? ”

Mu Changfeng was immediately angry when he heard this, and couldn't help but open his eyes, glared at Kong Sheng angrily, and sneered silently. He said in his heart: Are you embarrassed to call yourself a weak scholar? My God, is there a weak scholar like you in the world?! Mother's brute strength is amazing, which directly made Lao Tzu suffer a dark loss, and she has to fight a rake in turn?

But I heard Kong Sheng chuckle unhurriedly: "Actually, if you don't say it, I also know who is the person behind you, I just feel strange, how can a young chivalrous man like you be committed to being a thief and being a slave to others?" ”

"Phew! The surname Kong, you don't want to humiliate a certain family! Mu Mou He was committed to being a slave to a thief, and a certain family just owed Liu Fu a favor and had to repay the favor! Mu Changfeng was furious and refuted Kong Sheng's words.

Kong Sheng smiled loudly, "It turned out to be Liu Nian's house." Liu Nian was able to support a chivalrous man like you, which really surprised me and opened my eyes. ”

As soon as he heard this, Mu Changfeng immediately came to his senses, he had fallen into Kong Sheng's trap and was tricked out of his words. His face turned red, he glared at Kong Sheng angrily, and struggled for a while, but in vain.

Kong Sheng had already prepared, knowing that this kind of chivalrous man in the rivers and lakes was unfathomable, in order to prevent it, he used three ropes to tie Mu Changfeng, crossed back and forth, interlocked, and twisted into a dead knot. Even if Kong Sheng wants to let him go, he can only use his sword to split the rope, and he can't untie it.
