Translator: Foxs' Wuxia

Once again Xu Ziling was facing the string-, beautiful-woht, falling-forward-intoxicated-drunk-and-losing-consciousness, always-standing-outside-the-dispute-of-the-Central-Plains Chengdu, just more than ten days before the arrival of another Mid-Autumn Festival, inside and outside he was overco Que and Kou Zhong’s north-south connection, the frontal confrontation between the Song Clan and the Li Clan, two of the most powerful clans in the south and the north – could happen at anyto roll the south and sweep away the north Bashu, due to its location on the west end of the Yangtze River – held incotze River In such circumstances, it would be difficult to stand alone

On the surface, Chengdu looked to be as rich, beautiful, and flourishi+ng as before Xu Ziling put on Gong Chenchun mask First, he went to the fa Lian Chi [upper lotus pond] Street, to find a good place for his horse Afterhim, he went alone to look for Hou Xibai, who lived at Hua Lin [flower forest] Lane

Based on Hou Xibai’s different-song-every-night lifestyle, if he really wanted to find Hou Xibai at this ti hi], which was equally fa for him at his house However, he wholeheartedly wanted to scout the situation at Hou Xibai’s residence, to see if the enemy carried out strict surveillance on his little nest, thereupon he went there first

How could it be easy to kill either hi? Until today, whether it was the powerful Li Mi or Yuwen Huaji in the past, or the Tujue and the Li’s Tang, whose fa at present, still no one could acco Yushan was not a person who overestimate his capabilities at all, but he had no other choice but to seize the opportunity to kill Xu Ziling, because it closely related to the survival of the Xiang Fa Yushan’s e nu all kinds of conte to catch hiainst him

This moment he stepped into a side lane, and suddenly he leaped up, while focusing all his attention, his ears listened to the eight directions, flying across buildings and through the houses, sneaking toward Hou’s residence

He no longer had either the tiht as well catch someone and question hi place, and then using ten-thousand-jun­-thunderbolt method he would co office [idioth], to eliminate the threat

He flew up and crouched low on the back of the roof of a building overlooking Hou’s residence, which was only one lane away Across the lane, Hou’s residence was lantern-dark-fire-black He swept his gaze around, scrutinizing every single corner of Hou’s residence After he was positive that no one atching, he leaped into the residence As expected, Hou Xibai was not horeatly astonished, because unexpectedly he did not see anybody watching in secret Could it be that Xiang Yushan already guessed that he was on guard, hence he gave up his plan? But Xu Ziling was an easy-going person, so that he did not understand, he did not want to think too o to San Hua Lou to look for Hou Xibai, his heart wasdown on his couch, he looked out through the sle of view, he could see a small piece of the tranquil starry sky

He deeply felt that if he wanted to prevail against the eneeneral asseured out this point that he was able to recover his confidence and fighting spirit; although in the end he still suffered crushi+ng defeat in Li shi+min’s out of the ordinary method and had to leave, but he was still able to shake hard the cowering-the-world-by-their-military-power Li Army in succession, so he was not inferior in any aspect

Now the Shao Shuai Ar’s In the schele for survival, if he did not bestir himself, ould have pity on his Shao Shuai Army?

Since his debut, he has always strived in adversity and had developed an unyielding fighting spirit But planning is withwith heaven [idiom: Man proposes but God disposes] The key to the success or failure of the stratage quite relied on a bit of luck In case Li Zitong held back his troops without , he would be unable to find a solution

However, toward his own plans, he was still full of confidence, because after ’s character as a person

As long as he could guarantee that he could obtain Zhongli in his hands, then at least half of Jiangdu would fall into his hands

How he hoped that Xu Ziling was by his side, then he could say all the worries that were on his mind as much as he liked, they could confide in each other But now he could only bear it himself in silence, plus he still had to show complete confidence in front of his subordinates This was precisely the distress of being the supree of an abandoned house, he appeared to fuse together with the di in the breeze as he gazed on theca, I trust you have been well since we last o to the pleasure house, I would have lost the opportunity to see you tonight”

Hou Xibai was shaken, he said, “shi+ shi+ayshi+ shi+ ”

S said, “Your shi+ shi+ is not only alive and well, he even nearly took Xiaodi’s life” Thereupon he narrated in details the situation where they suffered a crushi+ng defeat

Finished listening, Hou Xibai ier, his entire being relaxed He said, “I really don’t knohether I should be sad or happy I slipped away back to Chengdu, it was because I did not dare to face the cruel reality One side are ood or bad, shi+zun [revered lehandedly cultivated me into a person who is worthy of respect”

Xu Ziling understood, “But it’s good now!” he said, “It did not result in anybody’s death We already missed the only chance to deal with your estee to kill us while we are caught in absolutely passive situation”

Hou Xibai sighed and said, “What’s good about it? Did Ziling just arrive in Chengdu?”

Xu Ziling nodded and said, “I a to You Lin Xiao Zhu, does Xibai Xiong have any interest in co his head, Hou Xibai replied, “Naturally I hope I can get close to Qingxuan, but it’s absolutely iht remind her of her hatred toward shi+ shi+, the outcoreed, he said, “Xibai Xiong’s words is not without any reason I wonder if Xibai Xiong knohere You Lin Xiao Zhu is?”

Hou Xibai replied, “You Lin Xiao Zhu is located inside a hidden s Xi [lit sun creek] at the eastern foot of Fenghuang Shan [lit phoenix du The scenery is very beautiful I learned about the approxi [Xiao Zhu] froative visit that I found out the little valley’s [Xiao Gu, see my previous note in Chapter 10 on Xiao Gu vs Xiao Zhu] location, but I did not have the guts to enter the valley to visit Qingxuan I was afraid she would be displeased, but I was also afraid shi+ shi+was puzzled, he said, “Froht to be the only one who knows the location of the little house, but that day Yang Xuyan and An Long could ie, which lead to her bringing the Yin scroll to Chengdu”

Revealing a grave expression, Hou Xibai spoke slowly, “I have thought about this problem; could it be that when shi+ shi+’s character beca Xuyan, in order to borrow his hands to get rid of his beloved daughter?”

Xu Ziling nodded and said, “That is very possible, otherwise, how could An Long dare to cooperate with Yang Xuyan to deal with shi+ Qingxuan? But even so, why didn’t they go directly to the small valley to kill the person and seize away the scroll? Why did they need to take the roundabout way and use sche the person is easy, but seizing away the scroll is challenging, since they did not knohere the Yin scroll is hidden Moreover, it’s not that they had no s If sorief and indignation he xuan Therefore, perhaps the two only dared to seize away the scroll but did not dare to harxuan This is only my conjecture, as for the actual situation, on’t know unless we grab An Long and torture hi be interested?”

Xu Ziling re hixuan to out of a knot I hear that now the Han people under Xie Hui’s leadershi+p and the other tribes, because of Song Que’s letter, are having disagree to concede”

Hou Xibai was astonished, he asked, “Thishad just arrived in Chengdu, unexpectedly you already know about this?”

Xu Ziling did not conceal it fro shi+ru

Stunned, Hou Xibai said, “No wonder Ziling asked me about who else knows the location of You Lin Xiao Zhu However, into Chengdu, but they don’t know the little house’s location; otherwise, ould they beat the grass to scare the snake by sending men to follow your track?”

But then he blurted out laughing and said, “WhatFamily think that they can deal with you? They really overestiht to pick ashook his head and said, “Underesti others can attract unforeseen disaster, just like we underestimated your estee Yushan, although hisspecial, hisbetter than anybody else, just by looking at how he did not send anybody to watch your other Passionate Residence in Chengdu, you’ll kno very cautious he is”

Staring blankly, Hou Xibai said, “You are right! In that case, tomorroill have to accompany you, no matter what At most I will stay outside the valley to wait for you”

Knitting his brows, Xu Ziling asked, “Are you afraid they are dealing with Qingxuan?”

Sneering, Hou Xibai said, “How could they have such guts? I a to the valley”
