Following the taut-faced Song Yuzhi, Kou Zhong went to the corridor on the third floor on the side opposite to the garden in the ainst the railing, as she spoke coldly, “You knew perfectly well that I was in the next roo waited for a group of constantly-sizing-the-two-of-the and said, “I was afraid to provoke you to anger, so I wanted to see the way the wind blows and the intensity of the fire first! Hey! Yu … hey! Miss Song, please calaze far beyond Man Qing Yuan, toward Luoyang nightscape, which was ablaze with lights Her beautiful hair fluttered in the night breeze; she looked as beautiful as the statue of a revered Goddess Moreover, froe of her nose, people could feel her fir character, which also intensified her delicate and pretty, and haughty teainst the railing, Kou Zhong enjoyed the silhouette of her face fro, and his heart was burning with a feeling of guilt
Song Yuzhi spoke indifferently, “These daysto do with you, Kou Zhong Ay! Why is it that bad people live longer than good people? At least you, Kou Zhong, is not dead yet!”
At first Kou Zhong was stunned, and then he laughed involuntarily and said, “With soafraid people would push you over, and still co San Xiaojie [third young lady] really loathes h my face cannot be considered thin, but it still has a certain thickness”
A hint of s her pretty face around, she stared at him ferociously and said, “I do not loathe you; I hate you! I hate you for without any reason you came to disturbwill fall into Li Mi’s hands, and according to the agree to marry into the Li family, was it for this reason that you did not dare to co scooted over closer to her until he nearly bu Yuzhi’s tender body before he ca has not fallen into Luoyang’s hands, this matter has not been decided yet What worriesQue, the Senior Due to ht refuse to accept aze back to where it was before; she said with a faint sigh, “After the battle of Jingling, who did not have a whole new level of respect for you and Xu Ziling? Even with Du Fuwei’s ability, plus his superior number of troops, the disabled troops under your command were still able to hold him off outside the broken city wall for more than ten days The problem is not on my Die, rather, I basically do not want towas stunned, “Froreat affection forYuzhi turned her pretty face toward him, her beautiful eyes stared deeply into his as she spoke with a cold sneer, “You are just a typicalof a woent, or presumptuous If I did not care about you, I would have no wish to speak to you even half a wordhis head, Kou Zhong said, “Right! What is it?”
Stretching out her jade hand, Song Yuzhi poked his cheek lightly with the tip of her finger, and then said with a gentle smile, “Because I want to see whether you are more mature than before But more importantly I do not wish for you to mess with Li Mi It would be best if you hide far away Because according to our secret inforure, cuo is responding to Li Mi’s invitation, and is on his way to Luoyang At that time, the first to suffer calauaranteed toalive”
Puzzled, Kou Zhong asked, “What kind of guy or thing is Huang Gongcuo?”
Unhappy, Song Yuzhi replied, “If you pick ten people fro cuo will definitely be one; I dare say that he is probably in the top five Do you kno?”
Kou Zhong laughed aloud and said, “The world can’t possibly be always the sa of martial art masters? In the past, you can rando down on our face, the other falling flat on our back But those days are gone Don’t you see that we are still alive and well? This oldcan’t possibly be more formidable than Yin Gui Pai, can he?
Her countenance changed, Song Yuzhi asked, “You have hed cal to the bitter end [orig you die, I live] with theht Hee …! Can you say so sohost there”
Song Yuzhi reached out with her fingers and vigorously jabbed his chest twice With a slight anger in her voice she said, “Your Miss here will never say anything untrue to , you did not want to listen So be it! I arabbed her jade arled slightly and spoke crossly, “Don’t pull ht send so whispered in her ear, “Believe it or not, you are going toYuzhi protested coquettishly, “You are boasting sha smiled and left
He was still perhaps four doors away from his own door when the door of the roo open, and two shadows flashed out of the roo’s path
These two es were about forty, and both had the saly nose So the impression that the e, demonic school
Even when they were still about a zhang away, Kou Zhong already felt their htly shi+vering inwardly, Kou Zhong halted his steps
The tall one’s eyes shot a deep, coldup a ridiculous self-ilance at Kou Zhong, he said, “This is called there is a path to paradise you didn’t take, there is no door to the netherworld you insist on breaking through Kid, you did not look for a rat hole to hide, but swaggered over like this; you ”
As soon as he opened his nized the voice as the laoda [first, oldest] of the ‘Two Malevolent of Changbai’, Fu Zhen
The other h Kou Zhong knew that these two men’s poas close to Li Mi, he re to be surprised, he said, “Don’t you knoang Bo is here tonight? If you don’t tuck your tail and flee to the wilderness as soon as you can, I am afraid even Li Mi will find it hard to protect you!”
Fu Zhen did not show the slightest bit of anger; he was surprised and said, “Good kid! Unexpectedly you knoe are Since that be the case, you ought to also know that we fear nobody, why still spoke such nonsense?”
Seeing he could not get the pressed one step forward, laughed aloud and said, “Since you fear nobody, then there is no need to run away all the way frobai to here Let Ol’ Kou see whether the skill of your hands is as strong as your glib tongue!”
Together Fu Zhen, Fu Yan let out a ‘hey hey’ cold laugh, while their eyes shot o a face off at the corridor like this, they had practically blocked the traffic; on either side behind theuests who could neither advance nor retreat The situation was rather chaotic
This mo at Kou Zhong, he thundered, “Just nohat did you and the Ol’ Li’s fiancée [orig ho has not pass through the door] talk about?”
Surprisingly, it was Li Mi’s son, Li Tianfan
Kou Zhong swept hi heartily, he said, “All the Jiejie and Mei’s fiancée [see above] I wonder which one was Li Xiong talking about?”
Everybody, no exception, was stunned and rose into an uproar
“Rubbish!+” a female voice protested coquettishly, “Who’s your wife? Who’d want totook a closer look; his eyes lit up at once
The speaker was a young woht black warrior outfit, with black belt and black tri, but with red silk overalls on the outside While speaking, she revealed a neat row of snohite teeth Her stature petite and nimble, her jade countenance carried some kind of as-cold-as-ice-and-frost beautiful lines, yet although she was calm, her face appeared vivid and lively; her overall de that when one saw her for the first tier he looked thecharacter
Kou Zhong ihter, he said, “Miss Dugu Feng said it well If those who have not passed through the door can be considered wife, wouldn’t the land under the heavens be thrown into big confusion?”
When the crowd, including Li Tianfan and the Two Malevolent of Changbai, suddenly heard the na], they all craned their neck to look at Dugu Feng, as standing behind the crowd of people
Dugu Feng actually caive the three so already recognized her and announced her name to the world Moreover, she realized that under this kind of circumstances it would be hard to make her move Thereupon she only smiled, turned around, and left
A zi and two Fu Laoshi+ [teacher], please give us, Man Qing Yuan, a bit of face If you have anything, please go outside the Courtyard to deal with it!”
Obviously thisthem for a while, hence he knew that it was Li Tianfan and the others who created the disturbance first, and thus spoke up to advise theood tihter, he led Fu Zhen and Fu Yan back to their roohan was sitting in silence, while Xu Ziling was standing in front of the balcony’s railing, looking up to the heavens With the sleeve of his robe fluttered in the wind, there was an indescribably proud, above-the-crowd aura surrounding hi back, Ba Fenghan laughed and said, “Let me see your face, I want to know if there is an additional pal sat down across the table frohan; as if he was a tired and weary soldier he stared at Ba Fenghan first, and then turned his gaze at Xu Ziling’s back before whining, “Just noas in trouble outside that even Man Qing Yuan nearly collapsed, yet the two of you did not come out to lend a hand; so much for one lifeties daily like the weather’, the hypocrisy of the world”
Ba Fenghan cackled and said, “Zhong Shao, did you really fight with your hands? If it was only duel of words, why must you need anybody else’s help?”
With his back still facing Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling spoke coldly, “We were hoping they would o out, so that they would have no apprehension”
Kou Zhong giggled and said, “I was just kidding Uh! Where e? Beauties are really no good, it’s so easy for thes”
“Don’t play duht about the brilliant sche his forehead, Kou Zhong put on an act, “Ah! Now I reht, he thundered, “Shangguan Long, where are you? Zhu Yuyan chose you to be Yin Gui Pai’s undercover agent in Luoyang, you ought to know a thing or two If you dare, coht to the death immediately!”
These words were pushed out by his spiraling energy, and immediately spread out to every nook and corner of the four three-story buildings of the Tingliu Pavilion
Ba Fenghan and Xu Ziling also acted strange; it was as if they did not hear Kou Zhong’s beyond-all-expectations words at all, they both inal posture and facial expression
Around the Tingliu Pavilion, all noises gradually died down By the ti the third sentence, it was ‘the crow and peacock made no sound’, ‘they could hear the pin drop’ kind of quietness
Hundreds and thousands of eyes fro across the garden, were looking at the direction of their roonified, but with entleness and reservation, male voice came up fro re, will never let you off”
Xu Ziling coldly spoke up, “There are three of us here, you can pick any one you wish But this preferential treativen to Yin Gui Pai deuilty and worthy of death”
His voice spread far and ithout being overbearing, it was resounding but not sharp, and was clearly heard by each ’s plan was indeed very brilliant; he exposed Shangguan Long’s identity on the spot, so that nobody dared to interfere
In this ‘riding a tiger and unable to get off’ situation, Shangguan Long could only straighten his back and get out to fight
Further’s words were as sharp as a sword If he could not control hier, it would be tantamount to indirect aduilty and worthy of death
Qu Ao’s voice rang out frohter first, followed by a shout, “This is called traveling far and wide looking for you, only to find it easily here Kou kid and Xu kid, coup before the actual battle”
Qu Ao orthy to be an old fox; just with a feords he ed to suppress the mohan cackled and said, “Qu Ao, you are han’s But don’t you wish for preferential treatet it!”
