Kou Zhong sculled the oar at the aft of the raft, his gaze fell on the facing-the-river-course-ahead, sitting-cross-legged-in- Que’s back As the snowflakes fell to about half a chi above his head, immediately, as if it was pulled by some kind of mysterious, unfathomable force - it automatically flew to the side past him, not even half landed on his body
The heavy snoas still, hiding the sky and covering the earth - sprinkling down continuously, so that the raft was covered with several cun of snohich greatly increased the weight of the raft, so that Kou Zhong had to work hard to clear it up many times
In the vast expanse of whiteness of the wind and the snow, both banks of the Yi River beca and jolting on the surface of the river, Song Que was still sitting as steady as the Mount Tai, he was not swayed the least bit
The Heavenly Saber, which nahtly with both hands,Que’s ‘apart fro else’ realood or bad luck, it was really difficult to guess
Kou Zhong had fought against the two men in two separate occasions, but he was completely unable to tell as superior and as inferior They both resembled a deep and immeasurable ??abyss and ocean, which was beyond anybody’s capability to fatho Daoqi lost, of course everything would proceed as before, this decisive battle was only an interlude on the road to unify the world; if Song Que was defeated, then Kou Zhong would have no way out, he could only carry-on Song Que’s legacy and fulfill Song Que’s drealance back

Kou Zhong deeply felt that regardless of the outcome of the battle, after the decisive battle, the situation in the Central Plains would never return to its original state
Inside, the relay station was as war, the aroaa pair of wolf legs, smoke bits leaked out of the broken s on both sides, the air in the building was not choking and stuffy at all Seeing Xu Ziling and Yin Xianhe, two uninvited guests pushi+ng the door and entering in, they only looked at thereet them, which instantly made them feel the rather tense and murderous atmosphere
Xu and Yin, twoeach one of the in shape and was placed nearby where their hands could reach, they knew that hidden within the men were not fa in robbing travelers,closed the door to keep the wind and the snow outside the door, his gaze fell on a robustby the stove facing the door This h he had windblown dust across his face, it was still hard to conceal his heroic spirit; evidently he was not an ordinary little thief who blocked people’s path to waylay and rob, but a h aze without yielding at all, and then he revealed a look of surprise, a clear sign of his brilliant eyesight
The others only followed hi for hi instinctively felt that they were not common robbers, thereupon he revealed a sive us for our offense in disturbing you, just because we s in, there is no other intention”
The strong ht, cupped his fist to return the greeting, and said, “Xiongtai‘s demeanor and appearance reminds Zaixia of soiven name?”
The tone of his voice had a thick north-of-the-border accent; Xu Ziling’s heart was ”
Everybody, the heroic and grand man included, revealed a shocked expression; those ere sitting stood up promptly to salute hirand man revealed a tired-hero air, a deeply- wryly, he said, “Turns out it is indeed Xu Xiong, Xiaodi Song JinGang”
Xu Ziling was stunned, “How could Song Xiong be here?”
Song JinGang spoke dejectedly, “Defeated troops’ general has no brave words to say; thisstory Why don’t we sit down and discuss it in detail?”
Everybody sat around the stove again, Xu Ziling and Yin Xianhe sat on Song JinGang’s left and right, respectively After introducing Yin Xianhe, everyone took turns cutting off the wolf meat with a sharp blade, they then chewed and talked at the sa said, “To be able to sit here and share wolf , is Laotianye’s special favor todefeat at Baibi, Li shi+min dispatched his troops to pursue relentlessly and strike Dingyang Khan and me, ere unable to defend Taiyuan, our only option was to retreat outside the Great Wall to seek refuge to Xieli, ould have thought that we fell into Zhao Deyan’s treacherous conspiracy”
Dingyang Khan was Liu Wuzhou, Song JinGang’s ratitude and grudges does Zhao Deyan have with you, and why did he want to fra said, “The proble, which caused Zhao Deyan to haveKhan, claiu and Mayi, to recruit our for arht that e followed the order and led our men back to the Central Plains, on the way, Zhao Deyan unexpectedly told Xieli that we intended to plot a rebellion?

Inwardly, Xu Ziling thought that he was scheer for its skin, and becaed to differ However, Song JinGang had already reached theto throw stones at somebody who fell doell, hence he had no choice but to say, “The victor is called the king, the loser is called the bandit, what s’s plan for the future?”
Song JinGang said, “To be quite honest, there is noto stand, hence I was thinking of living in Jiangnan to seek refuge with Xiao Xian, who has always had close relation with us Who would have thought that after returning to the Central Plains, I began to know that the situation had changed drastically? Song Que’s troops have conan to help Shaoshuai to contend for the world It is almost certain that sooner or later the north and south of the Yangtze River will entirely belong to the Shao Shuai Are to Xiao Xian; after much consideration, I chose Bashu, far away froeht and beautiful scenery to hide in the old age and not to worry about the trouble of the world any, why not consider joining Shaoshuai? Song Xiong‘s familiarity with the Tujue will be very useful to Shaoshuai”
Song JinGang revealed a pained expression, he said, “In the past, I have had a bad heart toward Shaoshuai, I worked with Xiao Xian and Xiang Yushan to harm him, so how could I still have the face to ask hi’s heart is now like dead ashes, I have no lofty aspiration any withdrawing fro JinGang spoke sole half a sentence of sarcastic words toward JinGang, JinGang is extrerateful Currently, the situation outside the Great Wall is tense, under Xieli and Tuli’s leadershi+p, various tribes outside the Great Wall foranda is to send ar, but they are secretly gathering e-scale invasion to the south On the other hand, Zhao Deyan, via the de his best to appease Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng It is said that Li Yuan is still kept in the dark of the affairs of the coalition forces outside the Great Wall; the situation is extre’s heart was even heavier Song JinGang escaped froence about Xieli and Tuli, those were absolutely not e his son to buy Jiangnan firear, he knew that the de conspiracy to deal with Li shi+min If Li shi+min was killed, the main forces from outside the Great Wall would invade iy, it was extrethened his determination to see Li shi+min; moreover, it was a matter that deful and heartfelt words, Song JinGang said, “A and Shen Faxing are all not enough to be a probleet for Shaoshuai to refine his saber The only worries are Xiao Xian and Lin shi+hong, between the two, the latter iseach other, they would have crossed the river to go up north and expand their power”
Xu Ziling was more concerned about the threat of the coalition forces from beyond the Great Wall, at the , however, the other side had good intentions, so out of courtesy, he asked, “What does Song Xiong think about these two?”
Song JinGang said, “Xiao Xian’s shortcos are that he is wide on the outside and narrow on the inside; he is jealous of talents, and suppress and put to death those with high merits, hence internally he is unstable Ay! If not for I am at the end ofon help fro s a favor instead, so that Song Xiong could hed aardly, he was ehts; he went on, “Lin shi+hong has just had Feng Ang leading his troops to realign their allegiance to hith surpasses Xiao Xian, so he should not be underesti was about to express his thanks when the alarm suddenly went off in his heart, and he shouted in a low voice, “Sos, as well as all kinds of possibilities, and finally came to a conclusion that he hi Que was defeated, he ht about by it with absolute caleative emotions to cover up reason
