Kou Zhong dejectedly stepped out of the s’s side, as standing with blank expression in front of Fu Junchuo’s gravestone; s wryly, he said, “I can’t persuade hi like a dried wood until his heart is like dead, being discouraged fro in the world that can ue, I would be able to persuade hi I was”
Xu Ziling sighed inwardly; when he saw that Song shi+dao not only erected a monument for Fu Junchuo, but also built a simple and crude hut next to it, it showed clearly that he wanted to stay with his sweetheart forever Xu Ziling knew that the turn of events was not too encouraging, yet he knew that he could do nothing
Kou Zhong remorsefully said, “We really shouldn’t tell hiht, the woman that you love the most is precisely the woman you cannot obtain What should we do?”
Xu Ziling’s pair of eyes stared fixedly at the blank toraved on it at all, he spoke heavily, “What did you talk about with ErGe?”
Kou Zhong leaned over to his ear and spoke in low voice, “I said all good things that I can think of, such as asking hizhu to stand on our side, and stuffs like that He flatly refused everything He even said that he is content with life in the s Xiuxun’s attractive force to hi knelt down on both knees, heavily koed three tiive it a try!”
Kou Zhong said, “If we cannotcannot be forced, henodded in agreehtly illule candle
The bed, small table, chairs and desk, all the furniture in the hut were allshi+dao was sitting quietly on the chair, his countenance serene, but it was obvious that he was thinner than before, so that people had a sense of the austere life in the deep valley
Xu Ziling sat down on the other chair, separated fro shi+dao by the small wooden table, he spoke indifferently, “I ran into Feixuan on the street of Longquan City Her heartless words coave -the-soul and incoet for the rest ofshi+dao looked at hi’s ability to be a lobbyist is indeed better than Xiao Zhong I can’t help but feel curious, I really want to knohat shi+ Feixuan said”
Xu Ziling shook his head and said, “I’, I’m just afraid that ErGe would follow the tracks of my overturned cart [idiom: a path that led to failure in the past] Without Feixuan’s words, Idownthat I found by myself, I should bear all the consequences and pay the price But failing others is an unforgivableshi+dao was in daze for half a day Finally he sighed and said, “Tell me then! What did shi+ Feixuan actually say?”
Xu Ziling was lost in the beautiful-yet-sadlook, he spoke gently, “She said that I never kne to plan forto e to pursue her It was precisely this beautifulthat rew a purely spiritual deep love that began in Longquan and ended in Longquan Other than Kou Zhong, no one else knew about this I originally did not intend to tell the third person, but tonight, by Niang’s side, I can’t help but confide in ErGe”
Song shi+dao revealed a thoughtful look, it was quite a while later that he let out a sigh leisurely and spoke in low voice, “Why did you tellXiuxun?”
Xu Ziling spoke softly, “This is just the beginning of the story Feixuan’s advice stexuan In the past, I have always been afraid to have any unwarranted thought toward shi+ Feixuan, for fear of being looked down by her, further her clear cultivation However, when the fire of love is ignited, I realized that all the artificial inhibitions were in vain”
Meeting his gaze, Song shi+dao asked, “In that case, did you follow shi+ Feixuan’s advice later?”
Xu Ziling cast his gaze toward the buround, paved with save o to You Lin Xiao Gu to see Qingxuan, unexpectedly I left without saying goodbye, but she did not know that it was because Ithat she did not love ed, I sadly left Shu! However, when I went to the little valley to visit Qingxuan again, I realized that I nearly reatest opportunity in life Without Feixuan’s advice, Qingxuan and I would only be shadow that appears alone, each one passing through the rest of our respective life”
Song shi+dao’s pair of eyes ehtly knitted, he said, “Ziling is a very intelligent person, how could you have such a hed and said, “Because she told le person, this rean to know that my deep love for her is definitely not less than my love for Feixuan The matter between Feixuan and xuan, it will only prove that h True love can break down any man-made obstacles, furthermore, it can , Song shi+dao said, “I understand why you are tellingsaid, “ErGe, please don’t bla was just a beautiful and sad drea and I dare to say that Niang indeed had a good ie, hence she took usobard ErGe’s boat, only too bad that tiive the relationshi+p between the two of you a chance to develop ErGe and Niang are a bit likein the Great River If Niang did not die, due to the national hostility between Gaoli and us, perhaps just like Feixuan, she ht have the sa and me to speak out on her behalf ErGe went to little valley to live in seclusion to acco to coht, then it will be for Shang Xiuxun’s sake, and it will depend on how deep ErGe’s love to Shang Xiuxun As for the success or failure of thisshi+dao heavily stared blankly at the ground Suddenly he looked up, the sharp light in his pair of eyes flashi+ng, he spoke with deter Horse Ranch”
Xu Ziling said, “You are not co ene alone into enee”
While Song shi+dao was stunned upon hearing it, Kou Zhong, who has been eavesdropping outside, rushed in like a ind and blurted out, “I will pack for ErGe, we set off i shi+dao off to the entrance of the Flying Horse Ranch’s mountain road; they bade their farewell and hurried off to Bashu
This was the first ti entered Shu; he wanted to admire the wonderful scenery of the arduous and hard to pass road to Shu, yet he also did not want to es While he was still hesitating, Xu Ziling made the choice for him, “In the future, when you unify the world, you will certainly build your navy in Bashu, while wiping out Xiao Xian at the same ti the road to Shu Therefore, let’s enjoy the delight of walking through thespoke ezhou, this is the first ti to the left and dodging to the right to go to a certain place This feeling is so touching”
After reaching the agree used in the past to enter Shu; they first arrived at the Shangyong City east of the Great Mount Ba, and checked in at the inn to raise their spirit, planning on cli

Kou Zhong chuckled and said, “When did Ling Shao become so love of cleanness like this? Must be a habit that you cultivate after knowing Feixuan, this Meiren’er that is not tainted by a single speck of dust”
Xu Ziling spoke in displeasure, “Stop talking nonsense, what news e of the bed and spoke cheerfully, “Ol’ Die didn’t mislead us He already announced to the world that he fully supports me to unify the world The news has caused a sensation in this re on the street, no one can depart fro Luoyang is completely covered up The other topic thatQue Most people believe that since Song Que is willing to deploy the troops out of Lingnan, the world is no longer the Li Family’s world More brilliantly is that I have an excellent reputation here, everybody says that the people of my Shao Shuai State don’t have to pay taxes, they are not forced to serve in the army Ha!
