Shang Xiuxun crossly said, “You two seeering into Jiangxia like this, even I, who don’t care about what’s happening on the outside world, know about it I reckon your eneolden opportunity evento rely on your two ?”
Kou Zhong respectfully replied, “Shang Changzhu [ranchin ease and comfort at the ranch? How could youXiuxun turned her head to cast a glance at Xu Ziling; noticing that he also revealed an incomparably respectful attitude toward her, ‘Pfft!’ she broke into a tender giggle and said, “You don’t have to be in such fear and trepidation like this I a a te outside theto the beauty next to hizhu’s ood today? Not only you do not care about the old scores between us to settle, you see behind the two, Xu Ziling took this opportunity to speak, “Last tizhu’s approval in advance Xiaodi let Cao Yinglong go for personal reason; that was indeed inappropriate”
Kou Zhong interjected, “Changzhu Daren, please be nani Xiuxun pouted her elegant cherry lips; pretending to be indifferent, she said, “Let bygones be bygones Could it be that I wanted to pan fry your skin and tear open your bones? I a she left on a boat to Jingling”
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling exchanged a glance; both were greatly a was like the Li Faxia, obviously it was related to Du Fuwei surrendering to the Li Fa did not add up; therethat they did not know
Most likely all along the Li Fa their lobbyist to lobby Du Fuwei, but it was not until shi+ Feixuan personally showed Du Fuwei that the ‘white way’ Wulin was in favor of the Li Fa to bow his head to the Li Fa Horse Ranch’s biggest threat, and now unexpectedly the bae [idio Xiuxun’s ’s na did not knohat he should feel in his heart, a pained expression appeared on hi face, and he was te did not knohat to say either; hence he changed the subject, “How did Shang Changzhu know that we are here?”
Shang Xiuxun replied, “The two of you are very easy to recognize, who do you think you can hide froive you any trouble that you were able to enter the city without obstacle, without anybody stopping you As far as I know, your plan of entering Guanzhong, everybody in the world knows Fros, and societies, are aware of your whereabouts, and they report it to the Li Clan to receive credits So I really don’t understand hile result you are thinking of achieving?”
Striving to rouse his spirit, Kou Zhong asked, “Where are we going now?”
Shang Xiuxun nonchalantly replied, “Naturally to take you out of town”
The two boys looked at each other in astonishalloped out of the South Gate Obviously the officers guarding the city gate were already notified, so they o Xiuxun suddenly asked Kou Zhong, “So what’s your relationshi+p with Shang Xiufang?”
In Kou Zhong’s mind, actually this beauty, as a double-pinnacle of look and art – had nearly been forgotten Hearing the question, he was caught off guard A bit embarrassed, he answered the question with a question, “Why do you ask?”
While listening to their exchange, Xu Ziling has been watching the direction the carriage was taking; after leaving the city, they traveled east along the river Continuing along this route, if they were not hindered by theTherefore, the route they were taking was indeed the return route
With her big, beautiful eyes Shang Xiuxun scrutinized Kou Zhong for half a day, before she finally slightly shrugged her fragrant shoulders and said, “Originally this zhu [princess] told ht you tere inti on an act that he had just been accused wrongly, Kou Zhong said, “I only ether, our conversation is less than ten sentences, plus it was always in public place with numerous people, under the eyes of the crowd In my opinion, Li kid is her old intie inwardly, because based on Li Xiuning’s character, she would not easily reveal Shang Xiufang’s secret words to another wo Xiuxun said, “You, this person, always have everything big!”
Turning her head around, her beautiful eyes gazed deeply onto Xu Ziling, she said, “Do you really want to go to Guanzhong?”
S replied, “It would be best if Kou Zhong answer that question”
Revealing a deep-in-thought expression, again Kou Zhong answered the question with a question, “When did Changzhu find out that Du Fuwei surrendered and paid allegiance to the Li Clan?”
The carriage slowly stopped To their left was the torrential, continuously flowing Great River
Taking her eyes off Xu Ziling, Shang Xiuxun, “I only found out about it when I saw Xiuning Gongzhu thisGongzhu has been representing the Li Fa all heroes and powerful figures of local gang and sects in all parts of the country to surrender and align theet Many ti, but fro to end Du Fuwei refused to see her in person When she told reatly aoing to do?”
Shang Xiuxun sighed lightly Revealing a pained expression, she spoke with a bit of helplessness in her voice, “According to enerations, unless it is the case of self-preservation, our Flying Horse Ranch hu strife Ay! Xiuxun has never had close friend froood friends, although barely In your opinion, what should I do?”
Xu Ziling said, “Changzhu does not need to be troubled; you are willing to trust us with this knowledge, it is already the greatest honor for us, how could we accuse Changzhu for any injustice, to such an extent as to go against your ancestor’s adzhu’s position”
Kou Zhong seriously said, “Under current situation, even if Changzhu is thinking of giving me full support, it will be very difficult to do Therefore, it would be best if you ood relation with the Li Faht be affected by the wind on the outside carrying the rain”
And then, rezhu to notify General Feng Ge, that he and hisis that he let thehis he needs not care anyeneral After Jingling fell, he led Jingling people to seek shelter at the Flying Horse Ranch, and they were settled in two neighboring big cities as their te in business, they started to set their roots there
Kou Zhong originally wanted to use the, and then to go north to take Xiangyang, so that he would have good foundation in his strive over the world against the Li Fa, the entire situation reversed to the Li Faer work
For Kou Zhong’s Shao Shuai Army, the current situation was indeed very bad, he had been put in hopeless situation where he could only passively take the beating
Inwardly, Xu Ziling was full of praise Although Kou Zhong frequently have the four words ‘by hook or by crook’ [bu ze shou duan] hanging at the corner of his mouth, but the fact constantly proved that he was absolutely not that kind of person
He and Kou Zhong were originally people who had nothing at all; furtherh humiliation and torture But it actually trained the backbones, and had never had any need of other people’s sy Xiuxun turned her pretty face away to look at the sun slowly disappearing into the flowing river Her beautiful eyes see, a hint of rueful smile escaped from the corner of her mouth, as she spoke calmly, “How could it be that sizhu anxiously wanted to see me”
Stunned, the two boys looked at each other; neither one of the to say next
A bit feebly, Shang Xiuxun leaned back into the seat, while slowly turning her exceptional jade countenance to let Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling get a frontal view and the touching outline of her exceptionally touching jade countenance Under the di the , this beautiful woman appeared to be even more out-of-the-world Combined with her pained and bewildered expression, her beauty could make those who look at her enchanted and have their soulher cherry lips and spoke slowly, “Several days ago there was an intense debate within the Great Tang’s court The crown prince Li Jiancheng and Qi wang [king] Li Yuanji on one side vented their anger, together they accused the Qin wang Li shi+ old friendshi+p, Li shi+ to deal with the two of you harshly and kill you in Luoyang, and thus had given the two of you the opportunity to grow big Perhaps Li Yuan hi Fei [i and Li Yuanji’s side, so that Qin wang had no way to argue”
Blurted out laughing, Kou Zhong said, “I can assure you that Li kid has been doing his best to deal with us and kill us, it’s just that oftenti to his expectations”
Glowering at hi Xiuxun spoke in displeasure, “Sha You clearly know that Li Jiancheng’s style of conduct is co’s”
“Is Li Jiancheng going to take the dealing-with-usasked
“More or less so,” Shang Xiuxun replied, “But the one really in charge of the operation is Li Yuanji Don’t underestimate this man; reportedly his martial art skill surpasses his two elder brothers’, he has neverNot only he is brave, he is an expert in schee nuhu’s desperate criminals to be his trusted aides, his methods are a hundred ti waselse; he asked, “What did Li Xiuning think about this?”
