What Kou Zhong thought at first was indeed correct. The Shi Qingxuanshi people who saved him and Huan Huan were indeed closely related to their little master Anne!
However, he guessed most of them wrong.
Because...
The relationship between Shi Qingxuan and their little master Anne was neither a master-disciple relationship nor the kind of relationship that he had taken for granted at the beginning and thought that she must be the wife that the master found for one of the two brothers. !
The other party just met, got to know and chatted with their Master Anne by chance, and then they were lucky enough to get the guidance and obtain the special skill of "Sound Killing" with Xiao's entry into the Tao that was suitable for the other party, and because of this, they made a leap in a short period of time. He has become the master of Shi Qingxuanshi who is widely circulated in the world today as the "Yun Yun of Ancient Xiao", and that's it?
He only found out about that when he and Huanwen returned to Yuhang a few days later and pretended not to ask about it while chatting with their little master Anne that night. It really surprised him!
At the same time, he and Huanwan finally knew what happened to the huge water dragon that caused huge waves on the river that day and attacked them brazenly.
It turned out that it was not a monster at all, but just the "Ancient Xiao Yuyun" Shi Qingxuanshi. Everyone learned something from their master Anne, which was similar to Huan Huan's "Heavenly Demon Technique" and could create illusions and clones, but The scope of influence and the imitation effect are even better, that is, the so-called Xiao Sheng, internal force, natural force, illusion, heaven and earth elements, and some extremely profound martial arts (mó) skills (fǎ) that are close to 'Tao method' can be used. )?
As for what it was specifically, Kou Zhongze didn't ask any more questions because he really couldn't understand it. After all, it was tailor-made and taught to Shi Qingxuan by his master and had nothing to do with him, Kou Zhong!
Moreover, the martial arts of 'sound-killing' requires very high musical talent. Even the little demon girl Huanwan who had learned the guqin and had a very high level of attainments was confused after hearing this. Doesn’t it mean that we only know what is happening but don’t know why?
so!
He, a rough old man who doesn't know the music and whose playing of the piano and flute can almost make people angry to death, certainly doesn't dare to ask too many questions and humiliate himself. He just feels sincerely towards that Shi Qingxuan. I was secretly shocked by the power of using Xiao Sheng to create such a terrifying noise and destroying a giant ship.
However, I was shocked when I learned the details of the sound-killing martial arts from my master, a super master of martial arts who spoke openly. I learned that it has many restrictions. Not only does it need to be brewed in advance and played the flute, but also requires water, After sand, leaves or other things were used as a carrier of mimicry and the power was not much different from a martial arts master's full blow, he no longer took it to heart.
Because he had heard that none of the Li Clan's masters, Fu Gongyou, Zuo Youxian and others who attacked them that day seemed to have died. In addition to losing a giant ship and almost a hundred soldiers, the other party also lost a lot of money. The 'giant dragon' is more of a psychological and morale blow to those 'coalition forces' who don't know what's going on.
And after thinking that he could easily cut off or destroy a giant ship with one blow with all his strength, Kou Zhong of course quickly put that kind of thing behind him. After all, now that he has returned to Yuhang, he still has You have to wait for more important things to be done, and you won't always focus on others.
"Everyone!"
"Now that all preparations are in place, our Ssangyong Army will begin to use troops!"
"I made a decision!"
"Early tomorrow morning, we will begin to prepare for war!"
"Three days later..."
"Go to Danyang and Changzhou, intimidate Zhenjiang, destroy Shen Faxing in one fell swoop, and drive Li Zitong's people across the Yangtze River as far as possible!!"
After looking at the various senior generals present and the seniors such as Xu Ziling and Lu Miaozi who had returned a few days earlier than him, Kou Zhong stood up from his seat without hesitation and waved his hands vigorously and gave orders loudly.
I think back then, Shen Faxing had joined forces with Han Gaitian, the leader of the Haisha Gang, to deal with their newly developed Shuanglong Gang. But as a result, the Haisha Gang was destroyed, and Han Gaitian didn't know where he had packed up and gone, leaving only The next Shen Faxing seems to have suffered nothing but the loss of some soldiers, and is still making trouble around him in Yuhang.
Now that it's better, he, Kou Zhong, finally took action to deal with the other party, and soon let the other party know what price he had to pay for choosing to go against him, Kou Zhong, and the Double Dragon Gang!
"??"
"What!?"
"Send, send troops to Danyang and Changzhou?!"
"this!!"
"Didn't we agree that we are going to fight Lin Shihong?"
"Commander?"
"Are you sure you're not joking?"
"that is!"
"Now that Lin Shihong is dead, the whole state of Chu is in chaos. With such a God-given opportunity, even the Song clan is ready and waiting to respond to us from a distance and attack the Chu state from east to west, but you have to go and attack Li Zi in Danyang and Changzhou. Tonghe Shen Faxing?"
"No!"
"Commander!"
"Please take back your life!"
"Yes, Commander, please think twice!"
"Commander?"
Hearing this, the generals and counselors of the Ssangyong Army who were sharpening their swords were all shocked. Then they looked at their commander Kou Zhong almost at the same time with expressions as if they had seen a ghost, and started shouting and discussing. Some even came out. He objected fiercely and seemed to think that Kou Zhong was just messing around?
"Everyone, please calm down for a moment!"
Seeing the excitement among the crowd, Xu Ziling quickly stepped forward to act as peacemaker and tried his best to comfort them.
"Young Master Zhong!"
"You seem to have different ideas?"
"You might as well just say it!"
Xu Ziling first looked at Lu Miaozi who was standing aside. When he saw that Lu Miaozi was just holding his beard but not making a sound, his eyes seemed to be shining and he looked at Kou Zhong with a little approval, he suddenly had an idea, and then he quickly cooperated and spoke out. asked.
"It's easy!"
After reaching out to signal the generals and counselors not to worry, Kou Zhong slowly walked to the topographic map hanging on one wall of the meeting hall and stood in front of it, and confidently began to explain why he wanted to fight Li Zitong and Shen Faxing first. Said it out:
"Everyone, please take a look!"
"First of all, in addition to our Shuanglong Army in the Soochow area in the south of the Yangtze River, there is also Li Zitong's unit firmly occupying the line between Zhenjiang and Danyang, while the remnants of Shen Faxing are entrenched in the east of Changzhou, which is as straight as a awning to our Shuanglong Army. It's on your back, if you want to get rid of it, hurry up!"
"Secondly!"
"You should all know what happened to Hanhan and I on the river when we came back, right? It was obviously a joint attack by Xiao Xian, Du Fuwei, Li Clan, Li Jie and others, and the result was our death. My heart is clear!"
"Especially after Ziling and I obtained the Heshi Bi and Yang Gong's treasure in Luoyang, those people will probably regard us as a thorn in their flesh!"
"If we don't strike first, I'm afraid we will be besieged by these forces and heroes, and we will have to defend ourselves!"
"Other!"
"Although Lin Shihong is dead, his strength still exists. Although there is chaos in Chu State now, once our Shuanglong Army and the Song Clan jointly attack, they will definitely attack the outside world in unison, and we may be in a stalemate. Wasting strength in vain?"
"It can be inferred from this!"
"If this time, we really go to join forces with the Song clan to attack Lin Shihong's Chu State, I'm afraid that Du Fuwei, Fugongyou and others in Jiangbei will definitely join forces with Li Zitong, Shen Faxing and others to attack our Shuanglong Army's Yu Hang in Jiujiang Attack in this area, and when the time comes, Xiao Mian and Zhu Jie will probably go down the river to attack Jiujiang!"
"If that's really the case..."
"I'm afraid the one who will be destroyed first will not be the Chu State, but our Shuanglong Army!!"
Having said this, Kou Zhong stopped and saw that the faces of many generals present changed greatly and looked astonished, and that many counselors, such as Xu Xingzhi and others also had solemn expressions on their faces, he Without waiting for those people to speak, they continued their analysis:
"In view of this..."
"It is necessary for us to do the opposite, abandon the distance for the near, avoid the reality and attack the imaginary. Taking advantage of the opportunity when everyone thought that we would join forces with the Song clan to attack the Chu State, we dispatched troops to eliminate Shen Faxing and others in one fell swoop. Wipe out all the city strongholds of Li Zitong’s Wu State in the south of the Yangtze River, and completely divide the river to rule with Li Zitong, Du Fuwei, Fu Gongyou and other forces in the north of the Yangtze River!"
"By then..."
"The State of Chu saw that we were too busy being involved with the Jianghuai Army, the State of Wu, and others and were unable to look south. I expected that they would be busy fighting among themselves first, or perhaps fighting with the Song clan?"
"And by the time they are exhausted, we will have determined the situation south of the Yangtze River. If we send our troops southward at that time, we will surely be overwhelming and achieve miraculous results!"
After saying that, Kou Zhong slammed the map on the wall and turned around and spoke loudly.
Although, he was already engaged to Song Yuzhi, and the Shuanglong Army had also reached a formal alliance with the Song clan, but this time, Kou Zhong still planned to trick the Song clan and Song Que, and use each other to contain them. It even consumed Lin Shihong's Chu State strength, and he himself used the excuse of fighting with Li Zitong and Shen Faxing to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight and reap the benefits!
By the time……
After the Song clan and the damn Lin Shihong's remnants of the Chu Kingdom were almost exhausted from fighting, he and his Shuanglong Army took the opportunity to go south again, conquered and occupied the Chu Kingdom in one fell swoop, and occupied most of its territory as much as possible, directly letting the Song clan and the Song clan Que was so depressed that he couldn't say anything.
"Wonderful!"
"First, he hides the truth, then he borrows a knife to kill people, and waits for work, and finally he attacks in the east and west to take advantage of the situation..."
"Very good!"
"The commander is wise and this is a great plan!"
"feasible!!"
At this time, one of the strategists of Shuanglong Army, that is, Xu Xingzhi, whom Shuanglong had met and invited before, thought about it for a while, and before the many generals who were looking at each other could speak, he stood up and shouted in agreement with a slap on his thigh. At the same time, he added urgently:
"but……"
"Commander!"
"Three days is too long!"
"My subordinates think that we should order the army to assemble tonight, prepare food at Yin time tomorrow, set off at Mao time, and go directly to catch Shen Faxing off guard!"
"I expect it will work wonders!"
From Xu Xingzhi's point of view, before their commander Kou Zhong returned to Yuhang, Marshal Xu Ziling had already made all their preparations for the attack in advance. Therefore, in order to make the surprise attack unexpected, Shen Faxing and Li Zitong were caught off guard. , there is no need to wait for three days, which will increase the risk of intelligence leakage.
In addition, they have the flying weapon provided by senior Lu Miaozi. Maybe they can capture Shen Faxing's former army camp before dark tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow they can kill Changzhou City and conquer it. By then, Shen Faxing will be destroyed, and Li Zi It was too late for him to come to his senses.
If everything goes well, the frightened Li Zitong will definitely order the abandonment of Danyang, and then they can go straight to Zhenjiang and other strategic military bases, and drive all Li Zitong's Wu soldiers and horses to the north of the Yangtze River in a single battle!
"tomorrow?"
"this……"
"Can you make it tomorrow? Is it too hasty?"
After all, Kou Zhong had just returned to Yuhang and was not very clear about the specific situation here in Yuhang, so of course he looked directly at his brother and marshal Xu Ziling and asked.
"Well……"
"Shen Faxing is very close to us. We can wait for some of the food and baggage before setting off. If we really want to make a surprise attack, Xu Xing's plan is also feasible!"
"I have no opinion!"
After pondering for a while and exchanging glances with Lu Miaozi on the side, Xu Ziling nodded and agreed with the empty statement.
After all, their original arrangement was to attack Lin Shihong. It was necessary to go ahead with food and fodder before the soldiers and horses were moved. In that case, the necessary baggage, food and fodder, etc. would naturally require two to three days of preparation time. However, if they were to go If we attack Shen Faxing and Li Zitong who are close at hand, there is no need at all!
After all, the two sides are too close, and with the dense water network from Yuhang to Jiangnan, and the Grand Canal, the transportation of grain, grass and baggage will not be affected at all. They can fight and transport at the same time, and basically will not suffer too much Constraints.
"Hahaha!"
"good!"
"Since you all think it's feasible, and since you are all ready, then..."
"Send the order!"
"Order the army to assemble tonight, prepare food at Yin time tomorrow, and set off at Mao time!"
"We will go straight to Changzhou and destroy Shen Faxing first!!"
Seeing that the generals no longer had any doubts, but were discussing with each other excitedly, and seeing that the military advisors and civilian officials had nothing to add, Kou Zhong was overjoyed, and then he waved his hands loudly and gave a formal order.
…
While Gao Zhong, Xu Ziling, Lu Miaozi and Xu Xingzhi were urgently discussing some details of the surprise attack on Shen Faxing and Li Zitong in the meeting hall, there was a separation in the backyard of the Marshal's Mansion in Yuhang City. In the exquisite garden courtyard outside, a certain naughty little girl, the Grand Master, was lying comfortably on the couch under a blooming crabapple tree in the courtyard, enjoying the enchantress Hanhan's shoulders, kicks, and grape peeling. and a series of attentive services.
"..."
Huanwan first stretched out her hand to catch the grape seeds spit out by Annie and put them on the tray aside. After looking at the carefree and contented expression on Annie's face, her sly eyes that charmed all living beings first appeared. The ground turned around, then he gritted his teeth, pretended to have a sad expression, and leaned into Annie's ear and whispered softly, gritted his teeth and begged:
"Master Anne..."
"Wei'er heard that you guided Shi Qingxuan to become a grand master, and Weu'er also wants to become stronger..."
Strictly speaking, Annie is not Hanhan's master, but since she is Kou Zhong's fiancée, she can of course shout like that with Kou Zhong.
Of course, that kind of thing is not important. What is important is: as a member of the Holy Sect, Huanwen treats the four disciples of the previous evil emperor Xiang Yutian, that is, the "reverse" You Niaojuan, the "Great Emperor" Ding Jiuzhong, Zhou Laotan and "Mei Niangzi" Jin Huanzhen are no strangers to these four guys!
Even now that she has obtained various benefits such as the 'He's Bi' and the 'Evil Emperor's Relic', as well as the essence and spirit, she wants to defeat or kill one of the four guys in a single fight now. I'm afraid it's not easy to kill any one of them, let alone kill all four of them one after another.
Things like that are very shocking to Huanhan!
so!
After learning about Shi Qingxuan's situation and knowing that the other party had changed so much under Annie's guidance, jealousy inevitably changed her beyond recognition, making her feel jealous, twisted and almost crazy?
"Can you tell Wen'er how to quickly increase your skill and break through the seventeenth level of the Heavenly Demon Dafa?"
"I beg you, Hu'er..."
"is it okay?"
Huanwan continued to beg, and then thoughtfully and deftly peeled off the reddest and roundest grape and carefully brought it to Annie's mouth without even opening her eyes, and then put it in.
You know, in Hanhan's heart, she thinks that she has the best relationship with Annie!
Even the two nominally apprentices, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, did not have as long of contact or close relationship with Anne in front of her. They had eaten, lived, washed and slept together many times. , she can be said to have fulfilled her duties as a personal maid, and even her mentor Zhu Yuyan has never been able to enjoy such attentive service.
Now, Shi Qingxuan, who appeared from nowhere, unexpectedly took away her favor and made amazing progress in martial arts. How could she not be jealous?
Although, she herself had already received guidance and knew the key to breaking through the seventeenth and eighteenth levels of the Demonic Dafa, but she was unable to achieve it in a short time. On the other hand, Shi Qingxuan had achieved such abilities in just a few days. , such a huge gap, how can she balance?
Therefore, she decided that no matter what, she would get more and greater benefits from Master Anne today, and she must not easily let that Shi Qingxuan vixen who came out of nowhere to compete easily. !
"..."
(~)
"Ai……"
ε=(ο｀*)))Alas
First, she chewed the grapes, then opened her eyes and glanced at the other party. Then, Anne sighed softly and muttered:
"That kind of demon...well, martial arts, I told you about it last night, but you didn't understand it!"
(￣～￣)Chew!
Yes, last night, when that idiot Kou Zhong pretended to ask casually, Annie directly told the three of them all the relevant tips of the magical martial arts 'Sound Kill' that she taught Shi Qingxuan. The three of them are too stupid to learn, so can you blame her?
(…)
(●￣￣●)
"But!"
"Master, Huanwan really wants to become stronger!"
"you……"
“Is there any other faster, better, easier trick or shortcut?”
Although it's not good to take shortcuts, Huanwan just wants to become stronger now, especially after she and Gao Zhong were attacked by that group of people on their way back to Yuhang and almost died, she became even more desperate. Because she really didn't want to experience the powerlessness she felt at that time again.
Although it is the best choice for her to find a place to retreat for a year or two, neither Kou Zhong nor her master will allow her to do that at this time. Therefore, in addition to begging this very person in front of her, Apart from the fact that she might be a bad little girl hiding some good things, she really had no other choice.
"Shortcut?"
(**;)
"Okay, I'll tell you a way, but you must keep it a secret!"
(~)
Not to mention, there are really shortcuts here in Annie, and there are quite a lot of them!
"!!"
"Okay, okay!"
"Master, don't worry, Huanhan promises not to tell anyone."
"Without your instructions..."
"Even Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling Hu'er hid it from them!"
Hearing this, Huanwen's spirit was shaken. She didn't expect that she was actually tricked into something good, so she moved over excitedly and looked forward to it, wanting to see what exactly it was.
"But it will be very painful!"
o(*^*)o
Annie didn't say anything immediately, but took a closer look and stretched out her hand to push the other person's beautiful face away.
Unmentioned, this little enchantress sister is indeed very beautiful, but she is beautiful and inedible. Therefore, the other party’s pitiful expectant expression and cute tricks are not very effective for Anne, and they are not as effective as a Bohao grape. Comes attractive.
"Hu'er is not afraid of pain!"
"Master, even if you transfer all your skills to Hanhan, as long as she doesn't die, Hanhan can still bear it!!"
Huanwan immediately patted her swollen chest and assured her that the problem of 'pain' was not a problem at all.
"Don't even think about the initiation, you won't be able to bear it!"
(￢д￢.)
After giving the opponent an annoyed look, Annie reluctantly used her 'shortcut' that could quickly improve the opponent's strength, and could possibly increase the opponent's magic to seventeen or even ten in the shortest possible time. The eighth-level method was explained:
"That is……"
()
"Just go and let Tibbers eat a few times and that's it!"
(ψ｀▽′)o
Yes!
That is indeed an excellent method, because it is often only between life and death that people can break through their limits, and it can also greatly improve combat experience. Moreover, the key is that it is safe, has no side effects, and will not affect the foundation. That is indeed It's quite perfect.
Of course, the key is that you can occasionally satisfy your little bear's cravings, so you don't have to pester yourself every day to let it out?
"What?"
"Let, let it be eaten by Tibbers?"
"What does that mean? Isn't Wen'er already promised to Kou Zhong by your master..."
Huanwan seemed to have misunderstood the 'eating' thing, so her cheeks instantly turned red.
"besides!"
"Who is Tibbs?"
However, after a pause, she couldn't resist the temptation of a sudden increase in skill and breaking through the seventeenth or eighteenth level of the Demonic Dafa, so she continued to grit her teeth and ask.
"Tibbers is our little bear!"
(｀)
"That's actually a kind of spiritual exercise, it's very fun!"
()hey-hey!
Anne actually wanted to explain clearly what happened to Tibbers and explain that he had a magical food plate and that he was very welcome to a young lady like him. However, she thought that it might not be easy for him to understand that kind of thing, and he would accidentally do it. After becoming a monster, she had to change her words and say this.
"??"
"Spiritual level exercise?"
"But……"
"How to do it exactly?"
As she spoke, Huanwan subconsciously reached out and picked up Annie's bear, the ferocious-looking stuffed toy, and looked at it again and again.
Speaking of which, everyone in the martial arts world already knows that Annie, the great master who is said to be the most powerful in the world, got the title of "ferocious bear" from the stuffed toy that the other party always carries with him, so , and she was also curious about whether it was really that magical.
However, she looked at it several times and even pinched it up and down, but she didn't find anything special.
"Anyway!"
()
"Tonight, after everyone falls asleep, you just need to find Tibbers, look into his eyes, and then practice in that spirit, trying your best to prevent him from eating you, and that's it."
(*)
She could have tried it now, but thinking that she still needed someone to bring her tea and water, rub her shoulders and back, and peel grapes to feed her, Anne set the time to the evening. After all, at that time, no matter what Whether it's the little bear or this maid, she doesn't really need them anymore.
(…)
(●￣￣●)
"night?"
"Not to be eaten?"
"this……"
"But Master, wouldn't that be dangerous?"
A little surprised, Hanhan once again stared at the button-like eyes of the stuffed toy in her hand. After looking at it, she seemed to notice something strange and threatening, so she hurriedly returned it and asked anxiously.
"Don't worry, it's just a stuffed toy."
(`)
"At least for now?"
(゜▽＾*)
"Anyway!"
(￣～￣)Chew!
"It's just a kind of practice similar to the magic dream you had that day. There won't be any big problems, but it will hurt a little?"
(,,,,,)
"You will know if you try it tonight!"
o(*︶*)o
Anne really didn't know how painful it was.
After all, when she was only two years old, Tibbs was caught by her before he could eat her. So, what would it feel like to be eaten by him... She was really It’s beyond description!
Maybe, after the other party is eaten, you can share it with Hermione, Irena, Illya, Sakura, Rin and Mikoto, those guys who have rich experience and have been eaten countless times?
"..."
"Is it really possible?"
"Master!"
"Wen'er always feels a little weird..."
"You seem to be uneasy?"
As a witch from the Yinkui sect, what hasn’t Hanhan seen? So, she was not stupid and could tell at a glance that the troubled little girl in front of her had some bad intentions?
"you are right!"
Hahaha(*)
"People just don't have good intentions!"
(-)
Anne did not deny it, but admitted it with a smile.
"but……"
乛乛
"What they say is true. You will know if you try it one night."
(-)
After saying that, Annie closed her eyes again and lay down on her side on the incense couch. Then she waved to Hanhan to continue peeling grapes, fanning herself, and squeezing her shoulders and back.
"..."
Huanwan didn't dare to neglect and quickly got busy again.
However, while doing her duty as a maid, she did not forget to glance at the ferocious plush stuffed toy that she had just studied and inspected many times, and felt excited in her heart. I was thinking about it, thinking about the way the miserable little girl in front of me carries it with her every day and is inseparable. Is it really like the 'He's Jade' or the 'Evil Emperor's Relic', which has its own magic?
However, no matter how hard she tried, Hanhan could not resist the temptation to increase her skill and break through the seventeenth or eighteenth level of the Demonic Dharma as soon as possible. She prepared to serve the terrible little girl in front of her tonight after the Grand Master Shizun went to bed. Go try it again.
(…)
()
"!!"
Huanwen, who had just made up her mind, suddenly discovered that the eyes of that stuffed teddy bear seemed to be flashing with some kind of scary red light?
"Um?"
"strangeness……"
"Did you see it wrong?"
Unfortunately, when she took a closer look, it was still the same ferocious shape. Even if she reached out to touch and pinch it again, she didn't notice any changes in it.
