The boat sailed downstrea and Hou Xibai were standing on the stern, watching any movement behind the their track Their ene Faathering skill, hence they had no choice but to be careful in dealing with the the boat was a subordinate of one of Lei Jiuzhi’s gang and society friends, he knew the Yangtze River ay like the back of his hand
Lei Jiuzhi ca’s other side and spoke excitedly, “This is an i [Family]; it should be brilliant beyond cohed and said, “What do you mean brilliant?”
Lei Jiuzhi cheerfully said, “The Xiang Family is so nervous and mobilizes their entire manpower and uses their resources all across the country to search for Han Zenan, husband and wife, there is a reason behind it”
Hearing that, Xu Ziling and Hou Xibai’s spirit was greatly aroused
Lei Jiuzhi went on, “When Han Zenan found out that Bai Xiaochang was pregnant [orig there were six armors in her body/bosom], he made up his mind to flee, thereupon he carefully planned his steps, including stealing away an i all the detailed infor Family’s pleasure houses and casinos scattered all over the place, including the local operators in various regions’ surnaiven name, as well as their salaries If we have this account book, the Xiang Clan’s evil kingdom will be in our hands When Han Zenan, husband and wife escaped fro Family, they hid the account book in a secret place, they were prepared to use it as protective talisman if necessary, and then they fled to a s Fa is also a place where the Xiang Family does not open casino or pleasure house No one knows the Xiang Family’s power distribution better than they do”
Hou Xibai spoke in delight, “We iister out”
Lei Jiuzhi said, “This account book records the situation during the old Sui dynasty’s Yang Di [Ees, it can only be used as a reference, but naturally it is still very useful”
Xu Ziling asked, “What has changed in between?”
Lei Jiuzhi replied, “The Xiang Family forcefully capture women from ordinary families, there are several purposes First of all, it was to cater to Yang Guang’s de’s protection, they could strengthen and expand the Xiang Family’s influence Secondly, it was to maintain adequate ‘supply’ for the pleasure houses and casinos in all parts of the country In addition, it was to provide new generations of disciples for various sects of the demonic school, so that the various sects could have qualified successors to carry on their undertaking Apart fro can be sold to influential officials and rich families, so that they could earn profit directly Therefore, the Xiang Family was able to expand their power to the whole nation in just a short period of a dozen years”
Xu Ziling could not help looking at Hou Xibai, Hou Xibai shook his head and said, “I still have clear recollection ofFa Fa Guang succeeded the throne, they never have guessed that Yang Guang would be defeated and dispersed that quickly It was only after the old Sui was destroyed by Yuwen Huaji that they did not dare to do that kind of offending the crowd angering the public shady business with open eyes and open guts However, their pleasure house and casino business have already taken root in various places, as long as they can curry favor with those in power, they can continue to flourish and expand Under such circu, who has the greatest chance to become the emperor, therefore, they make all-out effort to draw close and to support hi as the one ascending the throne is either Li shi+ Family’s poill crumble I just don’t knohat exactly is the relationshi+p between the Xiang Family and the holy school?”
Lei Jiuzhi said, “The real relationshi+p, I a Gui himself knows clearly He should be somebody whom the demonic school’s Two Sects and Six Ways cooperate to cultivate, to have hi, by fair means or foul, to amass wealth and to expand their power for the deuys already know Chi Shengchun and Xiang Yushan, but their eldest brother, even you guys won’t be able to guess who he is”

Xu Ziling suddenly understood, no wonder in raising a rebellion, Yang WenGan involved the Xiang Family and the demonic school’s factions
Hou Xibai said, “Now, if the Xiang Faether with us, hoould Xiang Gui react?”
At this ti excitedly, Jie’er’s little face turned red, he pulled Hou Xibai’s sleeve, and blurted out, “Niang said that Hou Shushu is the best master painter in the world Shushu! Can you draw portrait for Jie’er, Die and Niang?”
Hou Xibai was unable to refuse Being pulled away by Xiao Jie’er, he turned his head around and spoke to the two men with a wry smile, “I may not be the best master painter, but the remuneration for my artistic work certainly is thefor free”
After the two persons, one big one little, left,said, “Hereafter, what kind of plan is the Xiang Fa to close all the pleasure houses and the casinos?”
Lei Jiuzhi said, “At least Xiang Gui, before his power is pulled up by the roots, ithdraw his businesses fro’s territory”
Xu Ziling looked up at the night sky, Kou Zhong’s face floated up in his heart Before the Xiang Fa escape the sahantoward the bottohold, behind the two men’s horses were the three thousand Shao Shuai Army’s brave riders, in neat forhold, waiting in tight battle array; they were only waiting for Kou Zhong to issue his order to attack
The enemy came to a halt and for them were Luo shi+xin and Liu Dewei, respectively Both enerals, veterans of a hundred battles If Kou Zhong wanted to gain the initiative by striking first and attacking their disposition of troops, they could quickly order theirthe lance-and-shi+eld-wielders and archers to heavily protect the crossbow-and-arrow -cannon, ready to deliver frontal assault on Kou Zhong’s troops, so that momentarily the situation would turn into direct confrontation
The divine light in Kou Zhong’s pair of eyes was flashi+ng, victory or defeat, life or death, have already been put aside, his only thought was how e he could deliver to the ene his voice, Ba Fenghan addressed Bing Yuanzhen and Ba Yegang behind thee into the eneuys wait for an opportunity to follow behind and render assistance Remember, you must concentrate your power, you ang nodded their acceptance of the order In the world, perhaps only Kou Zhong and Ba Fenghan, plus very few uts and the capability to face the enenificent army with thousands of e and break through the ene reached out to stroke the horse’s neck, and said with a sigh, “I am really sorry horsey, but I will definitely pay the debt of blood for your sake”
Bing Yuanzhen, two hed inwardly Under the ene and Ba Fenghan able to escape alive would already be very hard to come by, but the horse under their crotch would definitely be not lucky enough to escape
