When Kou Zhong stood in front of Li Xiuning, with a bitter look in his eyes, Meng Xunzhen's heart was also bitter. Helping Kou Zhong unify the world means that he will be in the same situation as Kou Xu and the others, and he himself does not have the confidence that he can be like the two Kou and Xu in the original book. In the meantime, there is only one bad luck and there is a possibility that it will never recover. What's more, if at the last moment, Xu Ziling, a good old man, still stood up and persuaded Kou Zhong to give up the world that was about to come to him, could he stop it? As for defeating the three great grandmasters, just thinking that those three should be figures of the level of sweeping monks, it was enough to make Meng Xun's heart cold.

Under the condition that Meng Xunzhen, Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling and Li Xiuning were all a little absent-minded, the banquet officially began. At the banquet, when Shang Xiuxun wanted Kou Xu and the others to explain to Li Xiuning and the other three guests how to explain the delicacies derived from Lu Miaozi's exclusive secret recipe, Li Xiuning offered to ask the two "chefs" in person after the banquet. Shang Xiuxun didn't care, and casually ordered Kou Xu and the others to retreat, and everyone began to push the cup and change the lamp and talk casually. During this period, Li Gang talked about the topic of the war, the popularity of private coinage, which caused great damage to the livelihood of the people.

The second deacon, Liu Zongdao, said: "It seems that only by waiting for the Tang Dynasty to dominate the world can the advantages and disadvantages be eliminated, so that the world will be peaceful and the people will live a good life." ”

Li Gang smiled, looked at Shang Xiuxun and said, "This still requires the owner to help and help generously." ”

Regarding the obvious intention of forming an alliance in Li Gang's words, Shang Xiuxun was noncommittal, and turned his head to discuss with Li Xiuning the topics of his daughter's family such as the current trend of clothing and makeup, but the men in the seat were quite embarrassed.

The next day, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling sneaked to find Meng Xunzhen.

Meng Xunzhen saw that Kou Zhong looked unrelenting, and asked Xu Ziling with a smile, "Brother Kou, what's wrong?" ”

Xu Ziling glanced at Kou Zhong and said, "This guy is just a second lovelorn, don't pay attention to him." We came to Brother Meng for something else. Last night, Zhong Shao showed up as a spy. After tracking and tracking, a big conspiracy emerged. Some people want to take advantage of the opportunity of the four big Kou to attack the ranch to fish in troubled waters, trying to plot against Zhong Shao's unrequited sweetheart Li Xiuning, so as to provoke the contradiction between Li Valve and Pegasus Ranch. The identities of the two of us are not visible, so we came to discuss with Brother Meng to see if we should inform the owner of the matter. ”

Meng Xunzhen turned to Kou Zhong and asked, "Can Brother Kou find out the identity of that spy?" ”

Kou Zhong smiled bitterly: "I only know that the spy is a woman named Yuan'er, who is the concubine of an important person in the ranch. ”

Meng Xunzhen frowned and said: "Although I have the identity of a guest secretary, I am a newcomer in the ranch after all, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to win the trust of others, and I will even be suspected of ulterior motives." Not so. Brother Xu and I are outside the open and the dark, helping the owner deal with the four big guys; Brother Kou, you are the master, clean up the mole and protect Li Xiuning. ”

Kou Zhong was startled, and smiled at Xu Ziling: "Ziling, can we two change it?" It's up to me to accompany Brother Meng to greet the four thieves. ”

Xu Ziling sneered: "The one in the main must cooperate with Li Xiuning, naturally it is none other than you." ”

Kou Zhong shook his head and sighed: "Now I know what it means to insert a knife in the ribs for a friend, it turns out to be a friend with two knives at a critical moment!" ”

Meng Xunzhen and Xu Ziling laughed, Kou Zhong first glared at them fiercely for a while, and then immediately burst into laughter.

Wait until you've laughed enough. Meng Xunzhen said to the two of them: "Before you act, you two will go to Lu Lao's first." I know he has a collection of masks that he has concocted to transform you into another person. You borrow it for use, so that your identity is not revealed. ”

Kou Xu and the others were overjoyed. After agreeing on some details of the operation, they went to the back mountain together.

Because of the appearance of the four great men and horses nearby, the atmosphere in the Pegasus Ranch immediately became tense, and all the sentry towers and towers were arranged with double posts. The guards are tight. The strong men of the city drove out of the mountain city one by one and gathered together on the plains of the pastures. Prepare to go to battle.

Shang Xiuxun got the news that the brigade of the four great Kou was operating outside the canyon west of the ranch plain, so he ordered the archdeacon Liang Zhi to guard the city pass in the east canyon, the second deacon Liu Zongdao to guard the city pass in the west canyon, and the chief manager Shang Zhen sat in the center of Pegasus Mountain City to respond, and he led the third deacon Tao Shusheng, the fourth deacon Wu Zhaoru and the cavalry composed of 2,000 of the most elite ranch children out of the west gorge to meet the enemy. The strength of the four great Kou was in the thousands, but most of the rabble, if they were to fight head-on, Shang Xiuxun was confident that with these two thousand well-trained elite cavalry, he would defeat the thieves who were almost three times his own in one fell swoop.

Meng Xunzhen and Shang Xiuxun, who was dressed in military uniform, ran side by side, and when she saw that her eyes couldn't help but look at the black lacquer long sword she was carrying behind her back, she smiled slightly, untied the sword and handed it over.

Shang Xiuxun stretched out her hand to take it, and when the long sword was in her hand, her arm sank down slightly. It turned out that this long sword was extremely strange, although it was only more than three feet long, it weighed seventy or eighty pounds. When I looked closely, I saw that the blades on both sides of the sword were blunt, and the tip of the sword was more rounded and seemed to be a hemisphere. She tried to raise her arms and dance a few times, but she felt that the operation was difficult and stagnant, and many exquisite sword moves were difficult to perform. She shook her head and handed the sword back to Meng Xunzhen, and asked curiously, "As the saying goes, the sword is light and agile, this sword is so bulky, how should it be used?" ”

In Meng Xunzhen's hand is the Xuantie heavy sword that a generation of sword demon Dugu seeks defeat and is rampant in the world before the age of forty. After returning to the world of "Shooting the Condor", Meng Xunzhen felt that his swordsmanship had fallen into a bottleneck, so he sent Shuangdiao to fly to the Dugu Sword Shrine outside Xiangyang City, and asked the Condor for this sword, intending to use this heavy sword to hone his swordsmanship, simplify his swordsmanship, and return to the truth repeatedly, all of which were integrated into the two major killer moves of "Desert Lonely Smoke" and "Long River Sunset". After listening to Shang Xiuxun's question, he stroked the heavy sword body and replied with a smile: "The trick of using this sword is only eight characters - the heavy sword has no edge, and it is not skillful. ”

"The heavy sword has no edge, and it is not skillful?" Shang Xiuxun thoughtfully recalled these eight words, and the more she thought about it, the more mysterious she felt.

"Owner!" More than a dozen horsemen and horses roared from a distance, this was a team sent by Shang Xiuxun to investigate the enemy's situation one step earlier. They reined in their horses in front of the army in the pasture, and one of them hugged Shang Xiuxun on the horse, "The enemy has left traces of stationing in the village fourteen miles ahead, but at this time, I don't know where to go?" ”

Shang Xiuxun frowned two good-looking eyebrows, pondered for a moment and then ordered: "Third deacon, you order fifty brothers to go to that village with me to investigate; Four deacons, you stay and lead the brigade, if there is an accident, our side will be rocketed, and you will immediately come to the rescue; Seek the truth, you can also accompany me on a trip. ”

With this order, everyone took orders one after another, Shang Xiuxun and Meng Xunzhen were the first, and Tao Shusheng ordered fifty elite cavalry to follow. Before leaving, Tao Shusheng glanced back and exchanged a strange look with Wu Zhaoru, who was leading the troops and waiting in place. (To be continued!)
