After receiving intelligence from the spies, I heard that my master's defeated general, that is, Du Fuwei's Jianghuai Army, who had "the world in his sleeves", suddenly sent troops to besiege Jingling. After waiting for more than ten days, Kankan and received " "Heavenly Sword" Song Que gave a clear answer to the Song clan's young leader Song Shidao, and the second-in-command Song Zhi and others. After discussing the alliance and marriage, and after discussing some details and reaching a consensus, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling could no longer sit still.
After seeing off the Song clan and his party, he had to rush north along the Yangtze River with Xu Ziling. While asking his men to send troops to prepare for Jiujiang, he also wanted to see the battle situation in Jingling.
And Kou Zhong's so-called desire to see the battle situation in Jingling was of course intended to cause trouble for Du Fuwei's Jianghuai Army!
He really wanted to see if they could help Jingling and try to defend Jingling for the other party, or simply think of some way to delay the Jianghuai army. If they could delay it for a year and a half, that would be great. .
Anyway!
Kou Zhong hoped that Jingling could delay Du Fuwei's Jianghuai Army as long as possible. Anyway, he did not want the Jianghuai Army to focus more on Jiangnan or their Ssangyong Army, which was actively developing and expanding in Yuhang County.
So, when their more than 20,000 elite "Double Dragon" troops were still launching a peripheral offensive in the east of Jiujiang, preparing to seize the opportunity to plot chaos in Jiujiang, Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling took the lead in arriving at a town only dozens of miles away from Jingling. , and found out some important information about Jingling City in that place where a large number of traders, refugees and ships who escaped from Jingling City gathered, that is:
According to a person who claims to be the former scribe of the Villa, but has now escaped from Jingling, "Xu Xingzhi" learned that after the death of the faint emperor Yang Guang, Jingling was jointly occupied by the guard Qian Yun and Fang Zetao, who dominated the Villa. Although The two cannot compete for world supremacy like the current powerful forces such as Kou Zhong's Ssangyong Army and Du Fuwei's Jianghuai Army, but they can live a comfortable life by forming their own country and taking advantage of the convenience of Han River transportation to sail and collect taxes.
Unfortunately……
Not long ago, when a woman named Huanwen came to Jingling and broke into Duba Villa, everything changed.
She disguised herself as a weakling and took refuge in the Domination Villa and alienated the owner of the Villa, Fang Zetao, causing a rift between him and the guard Qian Yun because of that woman. Then, she also induced Fang Zetao to spend his energy to fight with "Flying Eagle" Qu Ao. Are your subordinates fighting and killing each other, consuming manpower and material resources?
Now, in addition to Du Fuwei's 70,000 troops besieging Jingling, there are threats from the Jianghuai Army outside, and troubles caused by the Alluring Girl inside. In the martial arts, there are also the Qu Ao forces who are eyeing them, and Fang Zetao himself has been deceived and indulged in sensuality and no desire to make progress. Now, people in Jingling and above will inevitably start to panic. The soldiers have no will to fight and the generals have no intention of defending. I am afraid that the day of fall and defeat is not far away?
After hearing that important situation, and after sending an invitation to Xu Xingzhi, the former dominator of the Villa who claimed to be Xu Xingzhi, to join the Yuhang Shuanglong Army, the two of them rushed to Jingling without stopping. , it is natural to smash the conspiracy of the Yinkui sect's demon girl Huanwan and try to make Jingling resist the Jianghuai army's attack as much as possible. At the same time, it also allows Jingling to attract more attention of the Jianghuai army and provide their Shuanglong army with a smooth attack on Jiujiang. Chance.
then!
After breaking through the Jianghuai Army's defense line and fighting the furious Du Fuwei without deciding the outcome, Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling successfully sneaked into Jingling not long after, and also fought with Feng Ge, one of Jingling's defenders. After successfully getting in touch and gaining the other party's acquiescence, he planned to kill the witch Hanhan who confused Fang Zetao and made him unwilling to make progress, and then discussed the defense of Jingling.
Soon, with someone leading the way, Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling arrived in front of the 'Duba Villa' in Jingling City, which served as the city lord's palace.
"Ahead is Duba Villa."
"Master Zhong, do you really decide to wade into this muddy water?"
Seeing that Feng Ge in front was talking fiercely to a certain guard steward who dominated the villa. It seemed that he was preparing to persuade the other party. Then listening to the melodious music faintly coming from the villa, Xu Ziling sighed first and then Then he continued to ask Kou Zhong:
"Even if we help Fang Zetao defend Jingling, I'm afraid the other party won't accept our favor..."
"Listen!"
"How long has it been? He seems to be still playing the piano with the witch inside. He must have been very, very deeply deceived. If we really kill the witch, I'm afraid he will only hate us instead of being grateful, right? "
Yes, these are Xu Ziling's true thoughts and worries.
After all, Fang Zetao is the head coach of Jingling. Although they have the support of Feng Ge, and Qian Yun also acquiesced to the two men's plan to kill the demon girl and purge the interior of Jingling, and now, Feng Ge is working hard to prepare to go there. With the support of the guards of Domination Villa, Xu Ziling was still worried. After they successfully killed the demon girl, what would they do if Fang Zetao didn't appreciate it?
At that time, even if Jingling defends, their trip will be in vain. Instead, they will be hostile to Fang Zetao, who dominates the mountain village, and at the same time provoke the Jianghuai Army. That is really not good.
"Ha ha!"
"Ziling, didn't you say that before?"
"Since the Song clan has agreed to the marriage and alliance, we must protect Jingling Mausoleum first!"
"Don't worry, we are not really working hard to dominate the Villa and Fang Zetao. I just want this place to stop Du Fuwei, the guy who wants to be our father!"
"Anyway, we can't let Jingling fall into his hands so quickly!"
"At least we need to hold off their Jianghuai Army for a while, giving us at least a year or half a year to march into Jiujiang and then deal with Lin Shihong?"
Kou Zhong folded his arms and said indifferently, and waited patiently for Feng Ge to persuade the guards stationed inside and outside the villa.
After all, they only wanted to kill the demon girl from the Yin Kui sect this time, not Fang Zetao. It would be difficult if they were still besieged by the guards.
"As for what Fang Zetao thinks, what does it have to do with me?"
"Moreover!"
"Jingling is far away from Yuhang. Even if we take Jiujiang, there will still be Du Fuwei between us!"
"As long as Jingling still dominates the villa, and as long as that old man Du Fuwei doesn't take over this place, we can have some fun."
"When Lin Shihong and Xiao Xian are dealt with, even if Du Fuwei doesn't take Jingling, I will come to take it. Will I still be afraid that Fang Zetao will fall out with us?"
As he spoke, he looked around and found that no one from Jingling was eavesdropping nearby. Then Kou Zhong leaned into Xu Ziling's ear and whispered his true thoughts.
"Yes Yes Yes!"
"Since you think so, it's easy. You can do whatever you want. I will support you unconditionally."
"but……"
"Our detailed report said that we found signs that our master was active near Jingling. I don't know whether it is true or not?"
Since Kou Zhong knew what was going on, Xu Ziling didn't intend to say anything more, but suddenly mentioned another more important situation.
"Whether he is true or not!"
"Let's go!"
"A large part of the current situation in Jingling is caused by the troubles of the demon girl named Huanwen. Let's go deal with her first and see if we can help Duba Villa to defend Jingling?"
"After you're done, if you have time, stop by and see Master!"
"If we can't find it, we'll go back to Jiujiang then!"
Kou Zhong said nonchalantly, and motioned for Xu Ziling to join him in meeting Feng Ge, who had settled the deal, to see what the other party said.
Now that Kou Zhong's wings are gradually hardening, it doesn't matter if he can't find his master or something.
Besides, he would rather wait for a while. After a year and a half, when he and the Song clan join forces to wipe out the south of the Yangtze River and set their sights on the Central Plains, he can bluster in front of their master. It's not the embarrassing situation where the other party despises him and says he doesn't have a single soldier, a general, a city or a land.
"It's up to you!"
"Commander Kou, I will listen to you!"
Of course Xu Ziling had no objection. After all, he also knew that their master Shenlong was missing and it would not be easy to find him.
"Both of you!"
"It's settled!"
"If we deal with that witch, they promise not to stop her."
"But I won't help!"
"in addition……"
"They are a little uneasy, so they will go in with me later and watch around?"
At this moment, finally, the Jingling guard Feng Ge and the guard steward who dominated the villa came to an agreement and excitedly came over and explained the situation.
"no problem!"
"Ziling, are you ready?"
Hearing this, Kou Zhong was overjoyed and looked directly at his brother Xu Ziling.
Of course he had no objection to Feng Ge's statement. After all, in his opinion, those who dominated the villa had no objection to them dealing with the demon girl Huanwan. It was already the greatest help. He never expected them to do anything else, otherwise he wouldn't have waited until today to expect two outsiders to come to "Qingjun".
"..."
Xu Ziling didn't say much, but silently stretched out his hand to hold the hilt of the long sword Suixue at his waist, indicating that he could cooperate with Kou Zhong to kill the demon girl at any time.
"Both of you!"
"please!"
Finally, with the guard steward leading the way, the two of them arrived at the back door of the villa not long after. Then the two guards who had been waiting for a long time hurriedly opened the back door and signaled Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling that they could enter through the back door of the villa. Then go straight to the garden of Back Villa!
Because their village owner Fang Zetao and the enchantress Huanwan were playing music in the back garden at this time.
It can be seen that the enemy in Jingling is currently facing the enemy. Du Fuwei's Jianghuai army has been killed outside the city, but Fang Zetao is still just playing the piano and having fun with a woman. These guards must have dared to do that kind of thing a long time ago. They had been angry and dared not speak for a long time, but now that they saw someone coming to help deal with the strange witch who somehow managed to charm their village owner to the point of turning his shield upside down, they were naturally happy to hear it and strongly agreed with it.
"..."
"..."
Just like that, after seeing that all obstacles no longer existed, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked at each other for the last time, and then rushed in with solemn expressions.
Then……
Then there is nothing more!
No surprises!
After Gao Zhong, Xu Ziling, Elf Guard Feng Ge and others rushed to the garden and exposed the identity of the enchantress of the Yinkui sect face to face, when Fang Zetao suddenly understood, an accident happened.
The witch seemed to have been prepared, and when Fang Zetao wanted to ask and confirm her identity, she used the strings to cut off the entire head of the unprepared Fang Zetao?
Upon seeing this, everyone present was furious and roared and stepped forward to fight with the demon girl.
It's a pity that the witch didn't seem to want to get into too much trouble with the crowd. She just used some tricks to kill some of the guards and then hurriedly climbed over the wall.
Seeing this, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling naturally refused to give up and directly joined forces to use Qinggong to pursue him.
Less than half an hour later.
Outside Jingling City, in a forest ten miles east of the encirclement by the Jianghuai Army, the two men successfully intercepted the demon girl.
"Why!"
"You are Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, right?"
"He is indeed a hero!"
"But……"
"Why do you want to ruin Hanhan's good deeds, and why are you so aggressive and cruel?"
Seeing Kou Zhong rushing forward to stop him, Huan Huan did not hesitate to stop directly, and then started to blame Kou Zhong.
"snort!"
"Witch!"
"I will kill you today!"
Kou Zhong didn't waste any time, he directly held the Jing Zhongyue sword in his hand, and then began to accumulate the sword's power and internal strength, ready to strike later and kill the witch as much as possible with one strike.
"..."
The same goes for Xu Ziling. He held a long sword to block the demon girl's retreat, ensuring that she could not escape from the range of his sword energy.
"??"
"kill me?"
Hearing Kou Zhong's words, the demon girl Huanhua couldn't help but be startled.
"laugh!"
"Could it be that Mr. Lang wants to kill his wife?"
"Isn't that too cruel?"
Immediately afterwards, the demon girl Huanwan was not afraid. Instead, she suddenly laughed, and spoke resentfully towards Kou Zhong with a charming tone and expression that contained the magic of heavenly demons. Even Xu Ziling, who had her back turned, seemed to be affected. arrive.
"!!"
"When did I, Kou Zhong, say that I wanted to kill my wife?"
"Witch!"
"Witch, what do you want to say?!"
Of course, Kou Zhong was not affected by the magic of that day. He was just a little impatient. However, compared to those, he was more interested in the inexplicable words that the other party said.
"laugh!"
"Lang Jun, look at..."
"What is this?"
Seeing the shock on their faces and hearing Kou Zhong's shouts, Huan Huan was not in a hurry to explain. She just reached out with a smile and took out one from her arms. Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling couldn't help but be shocked when they saw it. Discolored cloth bag.
"?!"
"!!"
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling subconsciously touched their waists first, and found that their bags were still behind. Then their faces changed drastically, and they both shouted angrily and asked the Yin Kui sect's enchantress:
"Witch!"
"Could it be that you harmed sister Wan Jing?!"
"Say it!"
"Where did you get that bag?"
Combined with what the other party just said, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling had to be nervous.
Because that kind of pocket is a magical storage bag, given by their master. It is like a treasure of the immortal family. It does not take up space and is not heavy when holding tens of millions of gold, and Kou Zhong also uses it. To transport military supplies and army baggage.
And the most important thing is: only the two brothers and Shan Wanjing have that thing in the whole world!
But now, the demon girl from the Yin Kui sect actually had one in her hand, and coupled with the words she just said about 'killing her wife', they couldn't help but subconsciously think that Shan Wanjing was killed.
"Pooh!"
"What did you say?"
"Didn't Shan Wanjing return to the Dongming sect? Why did I go and harm her?"
After spitting with a straight face, Huanwan continued to retort playfully.
"Right!"
"Before we set off to Jiujiang, the Dongming Sect had just shipped us a ship of weapons. At that time, Shang Gong said that Wan Jing was practicing swordsmanship in the sect?"
Thinking that it was impossible for the other party to go out to the sea to commit crimes with the Dongming faction and then come to Jingling in such a short period of time, Xu Ziling, who felt that it was impossible to do it in terms of time, nodded and basically believed what the other party said.
"explain!"
"Where did you get that pocket?"
After thinking about it, Kou Zhong thought it was impossible, so he shouted again and asked more questions.
"I already said that!"
"be mine!"
"Your master Anne gave me a betrothal gift!"
"My good husband!"
"Young Hero Kou Zhong Kou, you and I are engaged!"
Ignoring Kou Zhong's gradually dull expression, the demon girl Huanhua continued to speak with a smile, telling the truth that she had so easily refused to tell anyone else.
"!!"
"!!"
Kou Zhong subconsciously looked at Xu Ziling first, and then they suddenly thought that there was information that their master had indeed been near Jingling?
"What a betrothal gift!"
"Please tell me honestly, what is going on?"
Then, seeing Kou Zhong's confusion, the thoughtful Xu Ziling hurriedly asked on his behalf.
"It's very simple!"
"Some time ago, I worked as a maid under your Master Anne for a while. I had to fill her with tea and water and run errands every day. Not to mention how tiring it was."
"Then……"
"one day……"
Seeing that the two of them no longer looked like they were about to kill her and then quickly, Huanwan cast a wink at Kou Zhong, and then continued to flatter her that she had gotten along with their master Anne before. For a period of time, she also worked as a personal maid for a period of time. Finally, one day, while she was in a good mood, she asked about the situation of Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling, and then also talked about the engagement between Xu Ziling and Shan Wanjing. , and then I was still very envious.
Then, she joked and half-truthed that she wanted to be betrothed to another apprentice of the other party so as to gain protection or something, but in the end, the other party actually agreed and even gave her a storage bag. , and gave her the key to cultivating Heavenly Demon Dafa to the eighteenth level?
then!
The matter was decided in such a confused way. She originally planned to settle the matter in Jingling before going to Yuhang, but unexpectedly, the two people came to the door first and wanted to do harm to her. , and ruined her plan?
"Oops!"
"I've got the storage bags, that's right!"
"Young Master Zhong!"
"You're in big trouble!"
Hearing this, Xu Ziling believed 90% of it, because their master Anne could really do that kind of thing.
Then of course he hurriedly gloated towards Kou Zhong and exclaimed with a wink.
Thinking back to the beginning, the incident between Xu Ziling and Shan Wanjing was messed up by the other party, and Kou Zhong's contribution was indispensable. Now it's better, and the other party has finally received his retribution.
"What did you say?"
"Xu Ziling!"
"Is it possible that my noble saint, the Yinkui sect, has wronged him by marrying him, Kou Zhong?"
After listening to Xu Ziling's words, Huanwan became angry and started to yell angrily.
"None of my business!"
"Go ask him!"
Xu Ziling put away his sword and waved his hand, indicating that he didn't want to deal with this matter today.
"The enchantress!"
"To tell you the truth, before I came to Jingling, I had made an engagement with Song Yuzhi. It was personally promised by Song Que, the leader of the Song Clan, "Heavenly Sword". It has been decided. "
"You have no chance!"
Kou Zhong, who slowly put away his weapon, thought about it again and again, and finally explained it with a dark face.
Obviously, he undoubtedly liked Song Yuzhi more than the witch in front of him who everyone yelled about and who had just seduced Fang Zetao and then killed her, and it was more in his interest to form an alliance with the Song clan rather than that Jianghu man. The Yinkui sect of the demon sect that kills people when they get it!
"Is there still this matter?"
"Song clan?"
Huanwan was quite surprised.
However, she did not have any doubts. After all, Kou Zhong would never make a joke about something involving Song Clan and Song Que.
"It doesn't matter!"
"Then I'll be the big one and let her, Song Yuzhi, be the little one. Do you mind if I have one more girl?"
"Anyway!"
"Kou Zhonglangjun!"
"Huanhan and her master need to go find trouble with an old man first, and then we'll find you another day..."
At this point, she heard the sound of Jingling's pursuers getting closer and closer. Knowing that the enemy was coming, Hanwan, who didn't want to be entangled any more, hurriedly used Qinggong, and then continued to move away from Jingling, leaving the front He did not forget to sigh quietly and cast a big wink at Kou Zhong.
"..."
Seeing this, Kou Zhong did not stop him and allowed the other party to leave.
Because he has no reason to take action now. After all, that is what their Master Anne has decided for him. How can he dare to take action before he has made it clear?
"..."
Xu Ziling also did not pursue it. He was now more willing to do another thing.
"Young Master Zhong!"
"You're in big trouble!"
"Don't talk about whether Song Yuzhi, the eldest lady of the Song clan, is willing to become a junior. Just because you have just married the Song clan, and then you are engaged to the witch of the Yinkui sect. Believe it or not, "Heavenly Sword" Song Que will have another day. Can he come to your door in person and chop you into pieces? "
That's right!
This is what Xu Ziling wants to do now, that is: gloat!
Of course, they were brothers after all. While he was gloating about his misfortune, Xu Ziling still had to be so bluffing and said this to Kou Zhong, who had an ugly and troubled expression on his face, which made him feel that it might become very serious. and very bad situation.
"..."
Kou Zhong stopped talking.
His face was uglier than ever, and he certainly had no intention of doubting Xu Ziling's statement.
He knew the seriousness of the matter better than anyone else. Once the Song clan knew about it, Song Que, who was said to have never left the knife-sharpening hall for many years, might really come to visit him personally!
so……
Before that, before things get worse and irreversible, he must think of a complete solution! Otherwise, if he, Kou Zhong, didn't want to die without a burial place, he might really have no choice but to drop everything and seek refuge and 'justice' from their terrible little girl master.
