Frowning, Kou Zhong said, “Xiao Ling see on?”
Ba Fenghan turned his head around and glanced toward the open door and the wide-open space of the courtyard; staying cal as it’s not female demon Wan or Zhu Yuyan, we don’t need to worry about him!”
The sound of hoof beats fro louder; the horses h the top of the hill like thee to separate the riders nu said, “Perhaps these new co for us; it would be best if they don’t agree with Du Ganht, and then ill reap the fisherhan was able to see the inco, he said, “Looks like your wish can co troops”

Ba Fenghan reached out and pressed his shoulder lightly, telling hi is amiss here, let’s listen to what they have to say first”
Du Ganmu stepped forward to meet the two and said, “We have followed Shen Junshi+’s direction: from the Great River we searched to this place, yet we have not found any trace of her”
Kou Zhong carefully sized up wang Bodang
He casually hung the double-point spear over his shoulder; whether it was the way he flew off his horse, or the way he moved about, it was clear that he was a bold and powerful ard to anybody else
As soon as Kou Zhong’s gaze fell upon hiaze toward them; luckily the two had already anticipated this and were one step ahead of hi behind the

Kou Zhong and Ba Fenghan looked at each other and se bird could not talk, otherwise it would have revealed their secret
So said, “Such a classified infor Shuni who only kno to seduce han and Kou Zhong cast their glances in the direction of the rear courtyard, while thinking how could there be such a coincidence?
The distressed Du Ganmu replied, “Precisely because there’s someone in the imperial court as obsessed with her beauty that he used this to curry her favor and leak the secret to her; fortunately we found out in a ti as we can catch her back, it is not too late toto this point, since Ba Fenghan and Kou Zhong were holders of the pearl of wisdoist of thishis troops returning to the north, King Dong of Yue forht their common ene [Duke of State of Wei] bestowed by the King Dong of Yue
After Li Mi’s costly victory against Yuwen Huaji, wang shi+chong saw an opportunity they could exploit, so he led his elite troops to Yanshi+, thinking that he could seize this opportunity to attack Li Mi
Who would have thought that people fro far more than they were afraid of Li Mi? As a result, they colluded with Li Mi to conspire against wang shi+chong
But the confidential affair beca Shuni found out about it; hence she wanted to go to Yanshi+ to notify wang shi+chong Unfortunately her entourage fell into the pursuing troops’ ambush and was repeatedly hunted down until she was the only one re she was able to escape to this place
Kou Zhong no longer interested to listen further; after discussing his plan with Ba Fenghan, he slipped out from the rear door

‘Creak!’
The double-door opened Ba Fenghan strode out, stretched his li, Du Ganmu, and the hundred or soaloud, he said, “Such a confidentialabout it on the street in broad daylight as if it was a trivial !”
Du Ganhan!” he exclaihed aloud and said, “There’s a path to paradise you didn’t want to take, there’s no door to hell yet you insist on breaking in We happen to receive an order to catch you Where are the other two kids?”
Shen Luoyan, on the other hand, looked doubtful Signaling with her hand, she commanded about a dozen or so of hisin front of the house
Ba Fenghan chuckled calmly and said, “Since I dare to co with you”

‘Qiang!’
Returning the sword to its sheathe, Ba Fenghan coldly said, “I, Ba Fenghan, have been through thousands of battles, big and small, but nobody has been able to take my life I want to see if you can be the exception”
wang Bodang’s expression became even more incomparably heavy His double-point spear shot out and twirled in the air, before returning to his chest, which he pointed toward Ba Fenghan
