After walking for more than ten miles in one breath, they arrived at a hidden mountain forest. Only then did the two of them dare to stop and pick wild fruits to satisfy their hunger.

Kou Zhong sighed and said: "The person who attacked Zhai Rang, the great dragon, must not be a Turk, otherwise he would have a Turkic accent like Yan Litong. Who could he be?"

Xu Ziling sat next to him and said with lingering fear: "This Zu Junyan is so despicable. He colluded with outsiders to plot against his own leader. We must expose him."

Kou Zhong smiled bitterly and said: "Who will believe us? We can't control this kind of thing. The first priority now is to find our sister Su Su and take her out of danger immediately to avoid harming her.

A fish in a pond. Do you want me to be the one to marry you and help you and sister Su Su get married?"

Xu Ziling said angrily: "Now that we still have time to make such a joke, please quickly find me a way to Pengcheng, do two of his no-cost transactions, and get two fast horses to rush to Rongyang."

"

Kou Zhong jumped up, clapped his chest and promised: "This matter is all on my shoulders. When I was on the top of the mountain just now, I saw a temple in the distance. All I have to do is go to that temple and ask for directions. Let's hit the road!"

The two continued their journey.

When the temple was in sight, the two of them felt disappointed.

It turned out that the terrain was desolate, and the road leading to the temple was overgrown with weeds. It was obvious that it had not been trampled by human feet for a long time. The temple was obviously an abandoned temple.

In this era of continuous war, not to mention a temple, even an entire village or town can become a ghostland.

Finally, when we arrived at the outer wall of the deserted temple, it turned out to be dilapidated, peeling, and lifeless.

Kou Zhong smiled bitterly and said: "Finally, we have a roof to cover our heads. Let's just lie down here tonight!"

Xu Ziling sighed: "I really miss that roast chicken last night. You are so powerful, why don't you change it and show it to me?"

Kou Zhong pulled him toward the temple gate. As soon as he crossed the threshold, they were all startled to see that there were two coffins in the temple, covered with dust and cobwebs, making them gloomy.

Both of them were numb and stunned at the same time.

After a while, Kou Zhong said: "Do you dare to sleep in it?"

Xu Ziling shook his head decisively and said: "There will be some good things inside. I would rather go to the top of the mountain outside and use the sky as my quilt and the earth as my bed."

Kou Zhong agreed: "Let's go!"

Just as they were about to leave, there was a sudden "bang" sound, and the lid of one of the coffins bounced up and hit the two of them.

The two of them were so stunned that they shouted "Ghost!" and ran outside the temple.

Suddenly there was loud shouting from behind, and someone shouted angrily: "Where are you going, kid!"

The two of them came back to their senses and turned around to look. They saw General Shuangxin Sui, whom they had met on the battlefield the night before, chasing them. He had taken off his armor and was wearing only ordinary samurai uniforms.

As long as it's a human being and not a ghost, it will be much easier to handle.

Kou Zhong pulled out the long knife on his back, stood in the courtyard and laughed: "It turns out we are old friends!"

The Sui Dynasty swept the lightning, raised his two swords, and struck Kou Zhong head-on.

Kou Zhong saw the opponent's powerful moves and did not dare to block them. He launched the "Bird Crossing Technique" and quickly staggered Xunzhang.

However, Xu Ziling refused to give in and grabbed the knife to fight.

"Dang!" was heard twice, and Xu Ziling was forced to take two steps back.

At this time, Kou Zhong attacked from one side, rolling the hob towards his opponent like a tidal wave.

The man was not in a hurry, and struck out in series with his left and right swords, holding their swords against the two men respectively. When opening and closing the swords, the changes were endless. Kou Xu could not do anything for a moment.

But his powerful martial arts just aroused the fighting spirit of the two of them. They fought with him more and more bravely and skillfully as if they were practicing sword practice, forcing him to retreat.

The man made a feint and flew away.

The two stopped and shouted together: "Why don't you fight!"

The man said angrily: "If I can't beat you, what else is there to beat?"

The two of them were very fond of him when they saw him being so frank.

Xu Ziling asked: "Where have your troops gone?"

The man hung his two necklaces back on his back, his eyes flashed with cold light and said: "If you two hadn't disrupted my Qin Shubao's formation, how would I have been defeated by that stinky bitch Shen Luoyan? Although I can't kill you today, but this Daliangzi will definitely not forget it." Kou Zhong said: "Is this considered a big feud? You Sui soldiers are worse than beasts. It's not just burning the whole town, but also killing people and animals, raping women, so what about these blood feuds? Forget it? I really wish that Mrs. Shen would kill you too."

Qin Shubao said in astonishment: "Is this happening?"

Xu Ziling then told the miserable situation he saw that night. Qin Shubao shook his head and sighed, and said dejectedly: "Just put these accounts on me, Qin. Anyway, if Qin goes back today, he will inevitably be punished with beheading. What?" I don’t care anymore."

Kou Zhongqi asked: "Why did you go back when you knew you were going to behead?"

Qin Shubao said impatiently: "What do you know, you kid? Get out of here. If you make me angry, I will drag one of you to be buried with me."

Kou Zhong's heart moved and he said with a smile: "It's useless to ask for silver from a dead man. Anyway, if you want to go back and die, why not take the silver rain on your body as a good deed and give it all to my two brothers. Repaying evil with kindness, this kind deed is finally worth doing." ."

After Qin Shubao looked at the two of them intently for a while, he smiled casually and said: "You two boys are good at martial arts, and they are getting more and more powerful. I didn't expect that they are two paupers. So be it! The money I have is only enough for us to eat and drink. Just let me, Qin Shubao, be the host before I die and eat a big meal from your mother, and then we can all eat our food!"

Xu Ziling asked suspiciously: "You won't look for opportunities to harm us, right?"

Qin Shubao spit out a mouthful of saliva and said angrily: "Who do you two think you are? When I, Qin Shubao, was marching south and north, you didn't know where you were hiding in a den to urinate and call your mother. If you don't know what's good, you'll be pulled down. Don't even think about it." I'll give you half a penny."

Kou Zhong beat the snake and put it on the stick, saying: "You are really sincere, let us go to the best tavern in Pengcheng. If we don't have enough money to pay the bill, your brother will bear the full responsibility."

Qin Shubao laughed and took the lead.

The three of them talked and laughed. After walking for a while, a river appeared in front of them, reflecting the starlight in the sky.

Qin Shubao pointed to a high mountain in the distance on the left and said: "That is Luliang Mountain. About thirty miles northwest of the mountain is Pengcheng County. The road ahead is Surabaya. We will rest here. At dawn, we will find a boat to Pengcheng. It saves some leg effort."

Xu Ziling asked curiously: "Your silver was used to hire a boat. How about we have enough money to eat and drink?"

Qin Shuhe patted his shoulders and said, "Do you want money for taking the boat? Who dares to inconvenience me, Mr. Qin?"

Kou Zhong was speechless and said: "Those who serve in the army are evil people."

Qin Shubao may have thought of his impending fate and said dejectedly: "Don't hurt me anymore." He took off his clothes and lay down on the grass by the river, resting his head on the clothes.

The two of them took off their long knives and followed his example, lying down and looking up at the falling stars, as if it was about to dawn.

Qin Shubao said: "I still don't know the names of your two boys."

After Kou Zhong said it, he said: "We treat you as a true friend, brother. We saw that you were about to be beheaded, so we told you your real name. But please don't tell others, otherwise we will never outlive you." "

Qin Shubao asked curiously: "Are you wanted criminals? In this current situation, who has time to pay attention to you?"

Xu Ziling said: "It's hard to explain this matter in one word. That's the truth."

Qin Shubao said happily: "You treat Qin as a friend, of course I will not betray you, and I will no longer want to know your origins. But frankly speaking, your sword skills are already among the best, and it is difficult to meet your opponent easily."

, it’s even more rare that you are so young, you will definitely become a great generation in the future. The most amazing thing is that you constantly create new tricks to adapt to changes. In the second fight, it was much more difficult for me to deal with it. This is simply a miracle."

When the two of them were overwhelmed with praise for him, Qin Shubao sat up, stared at Luliang Mountain, and sighed.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were surprised and sat up with him. The former asked: "What's so good about that mountain?"

Qin Shubao said sadly: "There is nothing to see on that mountain. But there is a very good-looking woman on the mountain. I have rarely thought of her in these years, but now that there is not much time left, I can't help but think of her again."

Xu Ziling sympathized: "Brother Qin, why don't you go see her first and then make plans? Or after meeting her, you won't be stupid enough to go back and give your head to be killed."

Kou Zhong said: "You can just pretend that you have died on the battlefield and live in anonymity from now on."

Qin Shubao smiled bitterly and said: "How can you understand me? If I want to be an ordinary citizen, I would rather die. Now that the court is in the midst of employing people, I might be allowed to take the blame and make meritorious services. If I am really destined to die, I

Will you really go back?" Xu Ziling said with relief: "I see, then you have to go visit your lover."

Qin Shubao laughed and said: "That's just my wishful thinking. She is the daughter of the leader of the Luliang sect, and I am a poor soldier. I am only qualified to look at her from a distance, but after meeting her, every time I talk to a woman

When they did it, they all thought it was her. Alas! She must be twenty years old this year, and I'm afraid she would have married a husband and had children long ago." It was hard to say what she said.

The two of them paid close attention to his appearance, and saw that although he had a thick torso, his face was made of iron, full of wind and frost, with high cheekbones and dazzling eyes that were much smaller than before.

He's so good-looking. He's definitely not the kind of man that a woman would easily fall in love with.

When Qin Shubao saw that the sky was white, he stood up and said, "I don't know why I talked to you two boys about my concerns. Look! A ship is coming."

The two of them followed him and ran to the shore.

A small sailboat came upstream. The three people were sharp-sighted and saw that there was only one person on the boat who was wearing a robe and holding a bamboo hat on his head. He was steering the boat at the stern. There was a fishing net spread on the deck and bamboo baskets were placed at the bow.

Qin Shubao waved and said, "Brother! Can you give me a ride?"

The man ignored them and sailed the boat far away to the other side to avoid them.

Qin Shubao gestured to the two of them, stood up, took the lead in crossing the nearly four feet of river, and jumped towards the sail.

In the past, the two of them could only jump a distance of three feet at most. At this moment, they had no other choice but to bite the bullet and jump with all their strength.

One by one, the three of them landed safely on the fishing net between the mast and the stern of the boat. Kou Xu cheered at the same time, delighted with his progress.

The fisherman said "ouch" and exclaimed, "I broke someone's fishing net."

The three of them looked at each other at the same time, how come this was a young woman with a sweet voice and a beautiful voice.

At this moment, the woman looked into the sky with her right hand, and the fishing net at the foot of the three people was pulled upwards. The three people were lifted off the deck like fishes and hung on the sail mast. Their embarrassing situation was extremely unbearable.

.

Only then did I realize that the four corners of the fishing net were connected to an iron shaft high up on the sail mast by long transparent threads as thin as silk. It seemed to be invisible in the sunlight. It accidentally caught the thread. Strangely, the transparent thread could actually

It can carry a weight of more than 200 kilograms for three people.

The more the three of them struggled, the more the fishing net shook. Every time it shook, the net narrowed a little. Finally, the three of them huddled together and could barely move their fingers.
