Tuli cast an ad’s analysis to Kou Zhong
Slapping his thigh, Kou Zhong said, “NoShao’s heart is a clear water; I had never thought that far wang shi+chong arranged for you to leave toht What should we do about it?”
And then he added, “No wonder he denied flatly any association with Liu Wuzhou, Song JinGang; it was precisely because he is afraid that Ito hi shi+chong to form an alliance with Dou Jiande, what did that old fox say about it?”
Gnashi+ng his teeth, Kou Zhong said, “I didHa! He ought to be very busy tonight! I really want to go to Rong Mansion to see how he is punishi+ng hi Fengxiang’s power has sturdy ste shi+chong, thisis keyed up, so how could he support hi er texiang”
This ti’s turn to have their countenance changed
The reason Kou Zhong wanted to sow dissension in front of wang shi+chong was sihter’s dubious position; not only they seemed to be Yin Gui Pai’s allies, they were linked in countless ith Yang Xuyan as well
If Rong Fengxiang couldhar he could draw shi+ Zhixuan or Zhu Yuyan, these two great demonic schools’ top-notch reatly disadvantageous to the two boys They would be lying if they said that they were not afraid
S said, “Khan’s analysis is not without any reason InYaonu runs deep; perhaps even thiswith Rong Yaonu all our secrets”
Tuli laughed aloud and said, “Speaking about blanket and woht noonder if this is called ‘when your belly is full, your body warm, you are think about [sexual] desire’?”
Xu Ziling raised his cup to toast hi, but if Khan is proposing a visit to the [low-grade] brothel, please forgive Xiaodi for not able to keep you company You may plead Shao Shuai, this bravepleasure-house drea feigned hurt as he said, “Does Ling Shao want to harht to know that you and I have the sale visit to the pleasure house yields a good result, including the last time where Zhu Yaofu’s trap nearly succeeded”
Ahter, the three clinked their cups and drank their fill, thinking about from the Han River to this place their journey was riddled in dangers yet they arrived here alive, which made the! Bang! Bang!’
So earth-shattering noise, especially since whoever it was banged on the door directly without using the knocker at all, so that it was extre
The three looked at each other; they could not think of anybody ould be that brazen
A straightforward voice called out from the outside, “Qin Ye [master] Shubao is here! Why haven’t you opened the door?”
And then Qin Shubao’s voice said, “Old Cheng, can’t you be a bit quieter? Who’d like to listen to your broken-gong-like voice?”
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were greatly delighted They had just opened the door, fro man already leaped over the wall; their body emitted the smell of wine, and they were indescribably excited
Rushi+ng over the stone steps, Qin Shubao opened his ars and pulled the two boys tightly into his eht that the two clear-headed kids without a penny to their nao in the wilderness unexpectedly become the men of the moment who are able to move unhindered around the world? You, these two kids, really don’t have any yiqi [spirit of loyalty and self-sacrifice]; you ed to escape every day, yet you let , Shen Luoyan’s hands, to be captured alive and had to work like an ox, to work like a horse for her?”
Seeing this braveas well; they also hugged hi each other like that would they be able to express the fire in their hearts The forh, “We have the desire but lack the power to proceed But we already pulled your boss down, isn’t that the sa?”
The ru with a wo about forranny, you are not a good friend”
Letting the two boys go, Qin Shubao frowned and said, “I told you I wanted to co, Xiao Ling, this is Cheng Yaojin[1] who defeated ten thousand enemies with five hundred troops”
The two boys had heard his name many times; they had profound ie, so that it was easy to reeneral, so they already knew hi their attention on him, they saw this man was sturdy and muscular, his physique was like an iron tower, his upper arly, but it exuded a deep sincerity and straightforwardness, so that his overall appearance was quite pleasant
Dissatisfied, Cheng Yaojin said, “I have changedYaojin; watch out or I’ll beat your stinky hter, Cheng Yaojin stretched out his thick and solid pal, while cheerfully said, “I love to ures the most Old Qin has repeatedly told me about how he o for a drink!”
Tuli appeared froh, “If you want to drink, why don’t you come inside?”
Three rounds of wine later, the at even hotter Five ht; enhanced by a few cups of yellow soup going down their belly, there were not enough words to be said to each other, allYaojin laughed and said to Tuli, “I actually don’t like you guys, Tujue Dazi[2], but seeing how you spit words easily, plus you are Xiao Ling and Xiao Zhong’s brother, while also re that Dazi are just like us, Han people, where there are good and bad people, there are gentle to sit down and drink with you Who would have thought that theto the eye you are? Let me toast you, LaoGe one cup”
Tuli did not knohether he ought to laugh or to cry S wryly, he accepted his toast Fortunately Tuli was also uy who did not mince his words; hence he did not take offense
Qin Shubao served the etable dishes into everybody’s bowl, and said with a laugh, “Just now this fellow Old Cheng and I went to the [low-grade] brothel for sohtly in our arer came to notify us that the three of you had just arrived Since I have enough yiqi, I immediately retreat bravely frouys”
Sneering, Cheng Yaojin said, “I clearly heard you fro roo and still the dru?”
Qin Shubao responded with a straight face, “Turns out you were only listening without doing anything No wonder when knocking on the door your te their head off, Qin Shubao sighed and said, “Tonight we must enjoy hisand I received order to escort so] It is very unfortunate”
Kou Zhong sobered up i and Tuli
“Don’t you knoho to escort?” Tuli asked in heavy voice
