From Luoyang to aid Tongcheng is Yang Guang's Zuo Yiwei general Lai Hu'er, who has served as the head of the march three times with Yang Guangdong to conquer Goryeo, quelling Yang Xuangan's rebellion, which can be described as a great achievement.

Therefore, Du Fuwei knew that the Tongcheng defender had been replaced by the Sui army general Hu'er, so he personally went to the front line of Tongcheng to supervise the battle, and that Lai'er was worthy of being a battle-hardened veteran, and it only took a few days to build Tongcheng like an iron bucket, which made Du Fuwei difficult to swallow.

At this moment, on the southern city wall, the Jianghuai army had just torn a hole, and was immediately blocked by a group of ambush soldiers who rushed out of the city tower, and Kan Ling, who personally led the army to attack the wall, was also trapped in the formation, and it was difficult to get out.

This Kan Ling and Wang Xiong are both one of Du Fuwei's adopted sons, brave and good at fighting, born with a burly and majestic appearance, good use of a two-edged Mo knife with a long hand, martial arts cultivation is still above Wang Xiongdan, in the Jianghuai Army, second only to Du Fuwei and Fu Gongyi, but Du Fuwei knew that he was brave and witty enough, so he ordered Kan Ling to be Wang Xiong's deputy general.

Kan Ling led the 'Shangzhu Battalion' Yanyun Ladder to rush to the city wall, although there were countless casualties, but after all, it was torn open a crack in the city, but Kan Ling did not expect that this gap was just a trap sent to the Jianghuai army by Laihu'er.

Kan Ling, who fell into the ambush of the Sui army, looked around, only to see that there were Sui troops all around, and there were few soldiers left in the 'Shangzheng camp' around him.

"Brothers, kill me out!"

Kan Ling shouted, the long knife in his hand swept, and several Sui soldiers were cut off under the knife, and the blockers kept breaking their hands and feet, invincible!

Soon, on the city wall, Kan Ling fought a bloody way, and he was about to escape, but at this moment, a Sui general rushed over the crowd towards Kan Ling, and while he was in the air, he waved his hand and hit Kan Ling head-on.

Kan Ling hurriedly waved his knife and resisted, only to hear two loud noises of 'Dangdang', and then, Kan Ling shook suddenly, and his body involuntarily retreated two or three steps before dissolving the two powerful forces.

However, it was precisely these two or three steps that Kan Ling fell into a heavy encirclement.

Kan Lingfu shouted again, strode forward bravely, waved the long knife in his hand, and the waves of rolling knives came like a tide.

The Sui general is also very good, the double gong round dance, but there are infinite changes in the big opening and closing, and all the knife waves from Kan Ling are resolved.

"Okay, I didn't expect that there was such a good player as you in the Sui army, stand up happily, let these things that get in the way retreat, Kan Mou will give you a go!"

Kan Ling laughed, and with a swing of his hand, he slashed several Sui soldiers who attacked from behind.

The Sui general also knew very well that no matter how many of these Sui soldiers there were, they would only be sent to death in vain, so with a wave of his hand, he saw a group of Sui soldiers retreating one after another, leaving a clearing more than ten meters long on the city wall.

Kan Ling saw that Na Sui would do this, and couldn't help but feel even more good, strode forward, pointed at the long knife in his hand, and laughed: "Very good, Kan is willing to fight with Your Excellency fairly, before the result, Kan will not leave this place half a step!" Come and report the name, Kan will not cut the nameless soul under the knife! ”

"Uncle Qin!"

"Kan Ling!"

The two of them shouted at the same time, and rushed towards each other, the long knife in Kan Ling's hand slashed at Qin Shubao obliquely from top to bottom, and when the move was urged to the halfway, it suddenly turned into a sweep, Qin Shubao seemed to have expected it a long time ago, his body lightning moved horizontally, and at the same time, the double mace in his hand struck out, one blocked the long knife, and the other slashed towards Kan Ling's head.

With a soft sound of 'dang', the long knife in Kan Ling's hand froze suddenly, and then it was bounced away by Qin Shubao's hammer. At this moment, Kan Ling only felt a gust of wind coming, which pierced his brain.

Kan Ling was shocked and hurriedly returned the knife to block, but in a hurry, Kan Ling's knife was exhausted, and with a 'dang', it had been chopped by Qin Shubao and flew out several meters away with the knife.

Kan Ling was also very good, he was in the air, but he suddenly flipped into the air, kicked with the strength of his feet, and his body rushed towards Qin Shubao like lightning again.

The long knife in Kan Ling's hand swung out again and again, bursting out with a dazzling sword light.

Kan Ling's knife technique is also clever, whether it is the move or the heat has reached the first-class realm, this style of knife technique is accompanied by the body method, it is already as fast as lightning, dazzling, not real!

At this time, Qin Shubao withdrew the double gong and placed it on his chest, as if it were sealed, and in a moment, the double gong suddenly vibrate, bursting out of a shadow, and greeted Kan Ling's sword light.

"Jingle ......"

A rapid collision of energy came out, and the two had already exchanged more than ten moves at this moment.

The two have their own victories and defeats, but it is obvious that Kan Ling's cultivation is not as good as Qin Shubao, after this battle, Kan Ling has felt that the true qi in his body has been exhausted, however, the Qin Shubao on the opposite side is calm and relaxed, and the momentum on his body is getting stronger and stronger.

"Hahaha, well, it's been a long time since I've been so happy, fight again......"

Kan Ling laughed, forced a breath of true qi, and swung his knife at Qin Shubao again.

However, at this moment, two figures flew down to the city, one left and one right behind Kan Ling, and they couldn't help but grab Kan Ling's hands and flew towards the city.

This change was only in the lightning and flint, and even Qin Shubao didn't react, so he saw that the three figures were already far away, and they couldn't catch up.

Back in the Jianghuai barracks, Kan Ling glared angrily at Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, and did not appreciate their forcible rescue from the city.

Kou Zhong didn't care about this, and said with a smile: "Brother Kan, don't be annoyed, this is what Daddy Du meant, if you have any dissatisfaction, send it to Lao Du!" ”

Hearing that Kou Zhong had moved Du Fuwei out, he immediately lost his temper, and no one in the Jianghuai army dared to disobey Du Fuwei's orders, even Kan Ling's adopted sons. It's just that Kan Ling couldn't help but sigh secretly, and in the future, he was afraid that he would end up with a reputation of 'not believing in his words'.

For three days, the Jianghuai army attacked the city countless times, but there was no chance to attack the city, only leaving thousands of corpses under the Tongcheng wall.

However, Du Fuwei's goal was too big, and he was targeted by Laihu'er every time, concentrated strong forces, and blocked Du Fuwei under the wall again and again.

Looking at Tongcheng in the distance under the night, filled with gunpowder, Kou Zhong had to face a reality, the battle for world dominance and the battle for the rivers and lakes are definitely not at the same level, and if he wants to participate in this game of dominating the world, it is not enough to have martial arts alone.

"Zhong Shao, do you want to continue?" Xu Ziling stood beside Kou Zhong and looked in the direction of Kou Zhong's distant vision.

With the deepening of cultivation, Xu Ziling's heart of birth became heavier, and he just wanted to find a quiet deep mountain valley to live in isolation, build a few thatched huts as a place to live, and be accompanied by the morning glow and twilight rain, and be friends with the birds and beasts of the wind and moon.

This is the change brought to Xu Ziling by the "Recipe for Longevity" exercises, which can change a person's character, and it is not an exaggeration to call this "Recipe for Longevity" "magic skills".

Kou Zhong understood the meaning of Xu Ziling's words, and said in a deep voice: "Ling Shao, I won't tell you the truth, I will fool you if I talk too much, this game of dominating the world, since I have stepped into it, I will not quit so easily!" ”

Xu Ziling sighed: "Zhong Shao, you must know that this will kill many people, just like the thousands of corpses under the city wall, and there will be more in the future, even including Brother Kan, Father Du, and you and me!" ”

Kou Zhong stretched his waist and said with a smile: "Ling Shao, have you forgotten, throughout the ages, which time has there been an immortal in the world?" Even if you and I don't fight, there will be others to fight, whether it's Li Mi, Li Balve's Li Boy, as well as Li Zitong and Yu Wenhua, aren't they all going for that throne? ”

Speaking of this, Kou Zhong suddenly seemed to think of something, and hurriedly said: "Ling Shao, you go and inform Father Du, let him pay attention to the changes in the city, and once there is any change in the city, immediately send troops to attack the city......" After saying that, he flew down the arrow tower and disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye.

Xu Ziling was about to stop it, but it was too late, so he had to follow Kou Zhong's words to inform Du Fuwei to prepare early. Although I don't know what Kou Zhong can do, I think that Kou Zhong will never say anything, and whether he can take Tongcheng or not will be tonight.

Xu Ziling went to look for Du Fuwei, while Kou Zhong got off the arrow tower and did not go in the direction of Tongcheng, but ran to a hillside about three or four miles to the southeast.

"Brother Lin! Long time no see! Kou Zhong saw a familiar figure sitting on a large bluestone on the hillside from a distance, and shouted happily.

After finishing speaking, Kou Zhong flew up and landed opposite Lin Sumo.

"Sit!" Lin Sumo waved his hand casually and said.

Kou Zhong sat on the ground as he said, and saw two jars of wine and some dried roast duck on the bluestone.

Lin Sumo said: "I brought it from Lao Du's camp, you will use it!" ”

Hearing this, Kou Zhong's eyes flashed, and he asked, "How many days has Brother Lin been here?" ”

Lin Sumo said with a smile: "Xiao Ling's cultivation has indeed grown a lot, Xiao Zhongmo has to be left too far behind!" ”

When Kou Zhong heard this, he immediately understood, that day Xu Ziling found that someone was snooping, it was not an illusion, but Lin Sumo, but it was difficult to find Lin Sumo's whereabouts with Xu Ziling's cultivation, and he was able to be alert, which also showed that Xu Ziling's cultivation was extraordinary.

For Xu Ziling, Kou Zhong was not half jealous, but was happy for his brother, but when Lin Sumo said this, he couldn't help but smile, and said: Ling Shao, that guy seems to have changed a person during this time, and he is only focused on cultivation, and sometimes it even makes people feel like they are out of the world. Even women don't want to stop watching it, and I'm afraid that Ling Shao will become a monk in the long run. I'm afraid those beauties on the rivers and lakes are going to be cheap, Kou Zhong.

Lin Sumo said with a smile: "The secret of longevity is a Taoist classic, even if you want to be born, you are not a monk, besides, don't you think that the breath on Xiaoling's body is more popular with women now?" ”

Hearing this, Kou Zhong thought about it, couldn't help but sigh, and said, "That's true! ”

After Kou Zhong finished speaking, he grabbed the wine jar on the ground, poured a sip of wine, and said, "Brother Lin summoned Xiao Zhong to come, what do you have to do?" ”

"Drink first, and then talk about things when you're done!" Lin Sumo said with a smile.

Kou Zhong didn't ask any more questions when he heard this, just grabbed the dried meat and roast duck, and lifted the wine jar to eat and drink.
