The two boys recalled the sa the visitor was shi+ Zhixuan, what do they do? Although they pretended to board the shi+p and go out of the Pass, what kind of person shi+ Zhixuan was? How could they easily deceive hiate, ould the consequences be?
While they were blaence, Hou Xibai pushed the door and walked in Seeing them in a state of shock, their countenance deathly white, he asked in surprise, “What happened?”
Exhaling slowly, Kou Zhong said, “Fortunately, the one co is the disciple and not the shi+fu Otherwise, ill be in trouble!”
Hou Xibai revealed a thoughtful look Sitting down on Kou Zhong’s other side, he asked with a frown, “Are you going to naled Xu Ziling with his eyes, indicating that he should talk to hih, he helplessly said, “We have no other choice”
Letting out a hollow laugh, Hou Xibai said, “Am I a hundred percent fool that until now I still think that shi+ shi+ and I have the affection between asaid, “It’s very hard to bla time now you have always been in touch with his sentimental side Ay! Tell , Hou Xibai asked, “Ziling has a bit more opportunity to come in contact with shi+ shi+, what kind of person he exactly is? Do you think he is still lying to hed and said, “Frankly, I really can’t see through hi to you to pacify your heart, but perhaps he is revealing the truth Moreover, due to Yang Xuyan’s betrayal, he e of heart and put his hope on you As for the real truth, I ahed and said, “I have just seen Shen Meiren; I should say that it was she who came to see me, to inquire about your whereabouts I told her in accordance with your instruction that you guys already left Chang’an”
The two boys felt relieved, knowing that Shen Luoyan already escaped this calae her with any crihed and said, “You are hiding here, probably it’s a way that looks stupid but is actually exquisite, because shi+ shi+ will never think that you are this careless, but on the other hand he will never guess that you are still in Chang’an Therefore, this is the safest place instead”
And then he asked, “How about Wanwan?”
Xu Ziling replied, “She has so to do, she will be back soon!”
Hou Xibai said, “Wanwan ht snatch her ‘Tianmo Jue’ for hiain is the dream of all sects and all factions with ambitions – after the holy school split up”
“What is Xibai’s plan?” Xu Ziling asked
Hou Xibai sighed and said, “I ao back to Bashu to passasked in astonish the Bai Mei Tu Juan [Hundred-Beauty Painting Scroll] for Li Yuan?
Hou Xibai s Yuan Tu’ last night, suddenlydozen or so beauties in one breath, endoith poetry and literature Before co here, I went into the palace to sub in praise, and bestowed old I took the opportunity to tell hi here is to bid two gentle to Bashu, you h I, Hou Xibai, have acquaintances everywhere under the heavens, speaking about intitai”
Finished speaking, he stood up cheerfully and raised his cupped fist toward Xu Ziling and said with laugh, “Thank you veryinto martial art; it made me see unli back to Shu [short nale between shi+ shi+ and you guys, I also hope to have the opportunity to meditate with full attention We part here and now, I hope that in the future there will be a day I can rabbed Kou Zhong by the shoulder and said with a sinally I did not like you at all, because soot to know you that I discovered that not only Shaoshuai is a true friend, you are also a very interesting person, who is able to maintain optimism and positive outlook in harsh situation that can infect other people, so that Xiaodi benefits a lot!”
Ahter, he caloodbye, the two boys could not help feeling a bit envious And by saying that he was ‘looking forward to see the the shi+ Zhixuan’s Bu Si Yin Fa
Kou Zhong withdrew his gaze fro in the depth of the forest tree in the garden He laughed and said, “Last night’s taking the risk to steal the painting is worth it After obtaining Old Zhan’s painting, his entire being appears like he shed his e his bones”
“He hassaid, “This place is really not suitable for hiuess is that he has made up his xuan This is also the only way he can replay his master’s kindness, which is to prevent shi+ Zhixuan fro said, “There is oneYi Lao, I went to see Old Die to say goodbye He is going to leave Chang’an today to go back to Liyang to be the co with Li shi+oing to hold back his troops withoutuntil Li shi+min and I decide victory or defeat Our Old Die is really not bad, at least he is better than Li kid’s Old Die”
Xu Ziling felt Kou Zhong’s influence more and more If he had Du Fuwei’s all-out support, sooner or later there will coainst the Li Clan At that time, Li Yuan will have no choice but to rely on the Tujue people’s help, and then the world’s chaos would continue until what year?
Kou Zhong said, “We need to get a good rest, to preserve and nurture our spirit Dealing with shi+ Zhixuan, we can’t lack the least bit of spirit”
Waking up frorab the hilt of the Moon in the Well When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saas Wanearing white clothes like snow, slipping in through thelike a specter
Kou Zhong breathed a sigh of relief Sitting up cross-legged, he casually rested the Moon in the Well on his lap, while fixing his gaze onto Wanwan, sitting at the end of the bed Stretching himself, he asked, “What tio down!” Wanwan replied, “What ti was shocked, “Unexpectedly I slept that long?” he said, “Where is Ling Shao? Why did you coan the hunt and arrest operation against Cao San, Old shi+ will surely hide inside his thief hole, and alk on the street, I am afraid it is not too convenient”
Wanwan covered up her , she spoke tenderly and coyly like a little girl, “You ask soto answer you Fancy that in a tense ; your snoring could be heard several streets across”
Kou Zhong crossly said, “You exaggerate more than I do, how could I snore? Sleep is soe, particularly in the battlefield; those who cannot grasp every opportunity to sleep will not beco?”
Xu Ziling’s voice caht to be ht’s operation than we are If she is not worried, what else do you have to worry about?”
Wanwan blissfully said, “Ziling really understandssized Wanwan up with full attention, he asked in surprise, “How come Wan Dajie look like you have become a different person, cheerful like a little bird just out of the cage?”
Casting hilance, Wanwan said, “I auys don’t have to worry about the ti, whether we are early or late; if we are too early, it will not be beneficial and will be harht bu back fro to thelike that, then tonight’s plan o down the drain coht about that possibility? Therefore, we o to shi+ Zhixuan’s secret place”
Scratching his head, Kou Zhong said, “Wan Dajie’s reo in then?”
Wanwan replied indifferently, “The Xu hour [7-9 pm] is the limit, we must slip in before the Xu hour”
Next door, Xu Ziling’s voice ca about the hour, you can be so sure?”
Wanwan explained, “You have your own plan, Li Yuan also has his own plan You guys are sleeping in here, naturally you don’t knohat’s going on outside Li Yuan announced to the whole city this afternoon that today all the city gates will be closed one sichen earlier, at the beginning of the You hour [5-7 pht curfew, all shops will be closed by i was astonished, “Hunting and arresting one Cao San should not need such a big disposition of troops, right? If shi+ Zhixuan becomes suspicious and he inquires to Yin Zuwen, it will be really bad!”
Wanwan said, “Li Yuan is a Jianghu veteran, and he is dealing with a top-ranked big enemy, how could he be that stupid? Internally he clai WenGan and the remnant of his defeated clique; there is no mention of Cao San or Cao Si” [Note: the ‘san’ in Cao San’s name is ‘three’; here, ‘san’ and ‘si’ are three and four, respectively]
And then she si down her tender body across the wooden bed, she sighed and said, “There is still an entire sichen to rest, if nothing alarinning of Xi hour, a drizzle fell fro’an in heavy ht reat streets and sradually decreasing, the Tang Ar rando troops on horseback could be seen everywhere The situation was tense, even before the designated curfew tie and small shops did not close their doors and put away their wares,the atht fell, the three left the Situ Mansion They advanced gradually and entrenched themselves at every step toward the secret roo Froh houses and leaping over the buildings, beingto the roof of the private houses around the secret room, to overlook the situation of the secret room across the street The Wu Lou Si’s courtyard wall towered in the distance, separated by one street
Inside the temple, the lantern was dark the fire black Coupled with its connection with shi+ Zhixuan, the king of the demonical people, outwardly it looked eerie and e
Wanwan, lying loeen the two boys, said, “Stop peeking, if shi+ Zhixuan happens to be inside the building, he enerate reaction”
