When they got to the city gate, they found out that not only the city gate has closed, there was also a large asseovernate were also replaced by bignew thieves, the two boys still lacked confidence; they retreated to a dark alley not far froround
Kou Zhong took out the purse he snatched froht shi+ning froate, he counted his booty
Xu Ziling took out the saber and lovingly played with it in his hand
After counting it twice, Kou Zhong exclaiether about twenty taels of silver Not only it is enough to cover our travel expenses to Luoyang, we can also have a feast, and stroll into a low-grade brothel for three days”
With the saber rested on his knees, Xu Ziling stretched out his neck in disbelief, and then happily said, “In that case, we need not steal salt, transport salt and sell salt; such a hard work”
“So lack of a scolded, “Twenty taels is just to satisfy theneeds, ill still steal Haisha’s salt as planned We stay here one night, when the city gate opens tooods and leave Ay! I hope nobody will find Ol’ Liu”
Xu Ziling said in dishtness skill], so we could climb over the wall and leave Ah!”
The two boys’ countenance changed greatly They heard hoof beats in the distance coroup of riders galloped along the main street outside the alley; there were at least a hundred riders, and all were speeding toward the city gate
Soon they heard someone yelled in subdued voice, “Sea sand [haisha] raises its power!”
The other side replied, “Eastern sea [dong ] in trouble!”
When the two boys stretched out their neck to look, they saw the sate was opened, the crowd of Haisha Bang riders urged their horses to file out of the city
The two boys looked at each other But soon afterwards several more people went out of the city; all with the sasaid, “See shi+p tonight Should we notify the definitely does not have even half a decent person!”
Kou Zhong’s eyes lit up as he said in low voice, “Do you want to go to Ryukyu? Just bythat little maid, our luck cannot be considered shallow Co up With terrified expression he said, “What if they recognize us?”
Puffing up his chest, Kou Zhong replied, “Without going into the tiger den, how can we get a tiger cub? Oh! I get it It’s the tiger’s daughter, and the tiger is fe Pai’s beautiful tigresses, we have to fight his ate is still open, we have sabers; if we get recognized, we’ll kill our way out As long as we could reach the seaside, ‘splash!+’ we can plunge into the water With our Nine Mysteries breath-holding Great Method, who could possibly catch us? Co he strode forward
Xu Ziling had no choice but to follow him out
They had just stepped into the ain Four riders caaze toward the city gate, but did not see the big men earlier; there were only about a dozen yao back even if he wanted to Turning around to face the four riders he called out, “Has Er Ye left of the city?”
The four riders brushed past; one of the/first master] and Er Ye are in the back!” Then they went like a ind
Terrified, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling hastily increased their speed Still far away from the yamen officers, they called out, “Sea sand raises its power!”
One of the officers, presuhed and said, “You, two kids whose smell of your mother’stheir work; don’t you like to have a long life?”
The officers burst into laughter
One of the troops said, “Who are you? How co patted his saber; assu agong – grandfather], Xie Feng is our adoptive senior [orig adie – dad/old man] It was only lasthe spoke reasonably and with confidence, the troops did not stop theot out of the city
The two boys ith delight; they rushed out of the city
But as soon as they stepped out of the city gate, both groaned inwardly Because the area just outside the gate was densely packed with a large group of men and horses, at least the nuhted a torch and that everybody was silent, the two boys did not find out until they were outside the gate; therefore, they were now stuck
Someone shouted, “Sea sand raises its power!”
The two boys responded in unison, “Eastern sea in trouble!”
A man came over to meet the hi division!”
The roup of men and said, “Tie the red band and stand over there Boss will be here soon!”
Seeing hi hastily stepped forward to receive it
When they got to the Yuhang division group, the two boys pretended to be busy tying the red band, and then with head hung low they stood at the last of the line; surprisingly, nobody said anything
Several men at the front turned their heads around to look at them, but since it was dark, they could not see clearly The men were just about to question the two boys when sound of hoof beats was heard; a group of riders went out the city gate Hence nobody paid them any attention anyon his left and right were holding their torch high, everybody was able to see hily impressive; on his back he carried a pair of hatchets, his eyes were like copper bells When he swept his gaze around, everybody, including Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, felt that he was looking straight at him
The other people with hiood-looking Buddhist nun; her oversized Buddhist robe was blown by the sea breeze that it stuck to her body, revealing her beautiful and captivating curves
That Tan Yong was also one of them, it’s just that he was at the last of the line; apparently the other people ranked higher than him
The troops opened up a path in the allop in a small circle before he finally stopped One after another the Haisha Bang people pulled their weapons and paid their respect
While raising his saber, Kou Zhong took the opportunity to whisper in Xu Ziling’s ear, “Looks like this Boss is much more superior than us, two martial art masters As soon as we have the opportunity, weelse”
Seeing this kind of display of power, Xu Ziling was also extre Boss reined his horse and shouted, “This tienerous reward is not difficult to attain, plus there are other benefits as well The key to victory this ti no one alive Youthisthe battlefield will be dealt with according to our house rules When we achieve success, everybody will be heavily rewarded Got it?”
The crowd responded in unison
This place was still quite far froulf Even if they shouted loudly, Dong Ming Pai people on the dock would not hear it
Kou Zhong was just about to pull Xu Ziling to slip away from the back when he suddenly realized that there were people shouting their response from a small hill behind them as well; therefore, he abandoned his plan
In thedivision people; he talked in a low voice for a ave the order to alloped on horseback, those on foot ran behind the fell behind, he rode at the rear of the foro AWOL Without any choice they ran in thefor little less than half a sichen, they arrived at the seaside, where three double- They were about three, four li away fro Pai shi+p was anchored
