Book 42 - Chapter 2 – Whos the Treacherous Villain? (1/2)
The unusual color of shi+ Feixuan’s eyes was rippling, she asked softly, “What did Meiyan Furen want fro replied, “She came for the Five-Colored Stone I already returned the Five-Colored Stone to her as she wished”
Astonished, shi+ Feixuan asked, “Didn’t she ask you to present the Five-Colored Stone to Bai Ziting?”
Xu Ziling said, “She was just borrowing us to escort the Five-Colored Stone to Longquan for her At that tiet of a multitude of arrows; shi+wei, Qidan, Tujue, every tribe wanted to get hold of this Stone Her followers are nuer fro troops, so she used us to take her place, shi+fting the target Now that her goal has been achieved, naturally she wanted the Five-Colored Stone back”
After a short pause, he continued, “Meiyan Furen is in a fierce struggle for survival against the Da Ming Zun Jiao But she seeard this matter as a family affair internal to the sect, and does not want outsiders to intervene, hence she is unwilling to disclose any further inside story”
Pondering deeply, shi+ Feixuan said, “If Xieli wanted to deal with me at Shanhai Pass, he could have executed the plan after you left”
Xu Ziling said, “Xieli could only deal either with you or with us, one at a tie from history that no matter how rich and powerful his reat disparity in nu on overn such a vast area of the Central Earth Therefore, he decided on the strategy to use puppets like Li Jiancheng as the conduit of his control, just like Liu Wuzhou and Liang shi+dou And thus anybody or anything that stands in the way of their goal must be eliree to reason It could be iined that if any harhteous, opposite to ‘black way’ (see last chapter)] of the Central Plains, with Ci Hang Jing Zhai as the spiritual leader – would suffer a big blow; the dae that Li shi+min suffered would be even more incalculable Xieli could even shi+ft the blae waves within the Central Plains’ Wulin
As for Kou Zhong, he had becoest obstacle outside of Li shi+min for Xieli to invade the Central Plains, sieh power to rally supporters Even if he succeeded in eradicating Li shi+ent to wreak havoc, there was still a chance that Xieli’s enterprise, his grandiose plan, his tyrannical scheme – would be ruined for the sake of one basketful
Therefore, a the pros and cons, Xieli decided to get rid of Kou Zhong first, before looking for an opportunity to put shi+ Feixuan in order
shi+ Feixuan spoke softly, “Does Ziling have a good proposal on how to deal with this ht andon the stone step, and calmly said, “Presently, because of the ceasefire between Xieli and Tuli, Xieli definitely is not going to take the initiative to destroy the peaceful ate tactics; te to deal with the three of us, but he has no such ht was definitely a trap to deal with Feixuan, it’s just that Feixuan did not fall into the trap That’s all”
To lay an ambush to kill such a top-quality ht, geographical and social conditions le one is dispensable; they must lure her into the situation where it would be difficult for her to get out, only then would they have the chance of success
It was quite possible that Zhou Laotan subdued Zhou Laofang one step ahead, and forced confession fro Zun Jiao’s plan to deal with hi, thereupon he wanted to beat therief and indignation, in anxiety and anger, would recklessly charge into the mysterious ht each other until both sides suffer
As for leaving secret marks to notify shi+ Feixuan, quite possible it was Zhou Laotan’s doing, which would also dispel the suspicion that Zhou Laofang could not do separate tasks at the sa must have found out from Xu Kaishan on how Zhou Laotan, husband and wife,could i any flaw”
shi+ Feixuan stood up gracefully and spoke cheerfully, “What do we do now?”
Extre boith clasped hands and said, “Xiaodi beseech Xianzi’s gracious permission to let ate with the ‘Hoo’ engraved on it”
Laughing involuntarily, shi+ Feixuan said, “This is the second ti laughed to his heart’s content and said, “Feixuan need not take it too seriously, I a it another consideration; just see it as another ‘shed aloud and left
Xu Ziling returned to the courtyard house Kou Zhong was by hi Xu Ziling coled to arouse his spirit and pretended to be angry, saying, “Good kid! Where the hell have you been? What ti LaoGe to see Xiao shi+yi [young martial aunt] at noon is alo see Yuekepeng i scrutinized him in astonishment, “What happened?” he asked in surprise, “How co stood up, wrapped his ar’s shoulders and pulled hi, he said, “Just now there were three noble guests dropping by our door, one of theuess the other two?”
Knitting his sword eyebrows, Xu Ziling said, “There are sodejectedly said, “Xiufang Dajia was one This ti asked, “What happened?”
S replied, “Only if you promise not to scold ht in front of the door Under the bright sunlight, he looked closely at Kou Zhong It was quite half a day later that he sighed and said, “Looking at your forlorn appearance, as a brother, how could I have the heart to scold you? Love is theto talk about, it can make people turn into an idiot, into a fool Just telllike a little boy who had done so, “I kissed her delicious little mouth,” he spoke in a barely audible voice
“What?” Xu Ziling blurted out, “Unexpectedly it is that serious? My Niang!”
“Your Niang is alsosaid with a wry smile, “At that ti! The worst thing is that even now I aain Ay! What do I do? How do I solve this problem? I can’t simply tell her that I was so confused and thus kissed her on the nanimous not to remember this Xiaoren’s [little/s to hi her, did you, this kid, move your hands andhastily replied, “I have great respect toward her I kissed her only because at that ti Xiaodi momentarily could not control hed and said, “Honestly, in this kind of thing, although I am your brother, it is very difficult to help you I only know that if this affair with Shang Xiufang continues, it will be very difficult to explain to Song Yuzhi This is because Shang Xiufang’s status is different On the contrary, it will be easier for Song Yuzhi to tolerate Chuchu, sheto let you take her as your concubine”
Overwhel said, “If you don’t help me, ill? Quickly use your smart little brain to find a solution forsaid, “I don’t knohether it’s because this place is so far away from the Central Earth that whatever you do, whatever mistake you committed, it seems like you don’t have to worry about responsibilities or consequences But the matter between a man and a woman, who could possibly interfere in between? I can only advise you to rein in the horse at the edge of the precipice Don’t let anything develop further between you and Shang Xiufang I hope that because she is engrossed in the music treasury of the area beyond the Great Wall, she will forget you, this kid”
Grieved, Kou Zhong said, “I am in soasked
“It’s that kid, Ke Dazhi,” Kou Zhong replied, “He caht Liexia stayed at Shang Xiufang’s place the whole night Don’tthe secretsaid, “If it is as si you about this matter, it does not look like Ke Dazhi’s style of work at all”
Kou Zhong kneas very difficult to conceal anything froh he did not want to tell him, he would have to offer this matter on a platter He said with a wry s in order, and afterwards Xiufang Dajia can’t possibly put the bla did not scold hi Liexia in order is not easy at all, one thing goes wrong, our boat will capsize in the ditch The biggest problem is that Liexia has not committed any obvious evil deeds This is called it’s difficult for an angry fist to hit a s Xiufang as a cri, can we?”
Kou Zhong agreed Suddenly getting excited, he said, “Not giving hi rid of him; once the main problem is solved, all troubles are solved Even th”
Xu Ziling said, “Al finally left a secretus to meet in a restaurant at the Ver of Shen hour [3-5p happily said, “It’s a public place, certainly not a trap Count hi to see shi+ Feixuan? She agreed tocrossly said, “Let’s go!”
The two stepped into the street and headed toward the foreign guesthouse
“I also saw three people,” Xu Ziling said, “Other than Feixuan, I also saw Yin Xianhe Really strange though, I asked Yin Xianhe to follow closely and ht at a house belonging to Longquan’s fa at all It’s very difficult to guess what’s true and what’s false about this person”
Kou Zhong said, “You seereatly evil , Xu Ziling narrated the analysis he made about Xu Kaishan in front of shi+ Feixuan, without o will be able to confirm this matter for us”
A bean-sized raindrop fell on Kou Zhong’s forehead, causing hi, “There are too ot to look at the sky There is his granny’s black cloud overhead, let’s run”
But less than ten steps later, the rain ca down Helpless, the two boys ducked into a restaurant specializing in goat milk tea and baked cheesecake, both to take shelter from the rain, and to fill their belly, which had not had any breakfast yet
While eating, Kou Zhong sighed and said, “Isn’t it called the road to happiness is streith setbacks [idio happened so that we couldn’t go”
