Kou Zhong muttered: In theory, I can accept your ideal method, but in reality, I can't get rid of the pleasure I get from showing off my glory. Or maybe this is the difference between you and me. You are not always the commander in chief.

leader?

After a pause, he patted his shoulder and said with a wry smile: Sometimes I really worry that you will become a fasting monk.

Xu Ziling laughed and cursed: Fuck you! I just haven’t met the woman I really like!

Kou Zhong said: Shen Luoyan or Shan Wanjing is not a first-class beauty with both talent and beauty, but you are not tempted. Is there any other explanation besides the fact that you are not interested in women at all?

Xu Ziling bumped his elbow against Kou Zhong's side and it hurt so much that he let go of his hand on his shoulder and said calmly: What's attractive about women is not only their appearance, but more importantly their connotation and temperament. Shen Luoyan is ambitious and cunning as a fox. Why?

I, Xu Ziling, am tempted. Shan Wanjing is now at loggerheads with us, let alone talking about it. Can you cite these two people as examples of whether we should fight?

Kou Zhong rubbed the sore spot with a grimace and said: I forgot that if we successfully assassinate Ren Shaoming, we may create another group of unfathomable enemies, because the pair of evil monks and nuns under Ren Shaoming may be sent by Yin Gui to bring troubled times.

doorman.

Xu Ziling was stunned for a while and sighed: This is the price of fighting for the world. The sinking got deeper and deeper until the people around him were either friends or enemies.

Kou Zhong let out a breath and said slowly: Ren Shaoming has a high chance of being a spy sent by King Tiele to come to China to cause trouble. So are you afraid that we will offend two major forces, both internal and external, in one fell swoop?

Xu Ziling smiled and shook his head and said calmly: Without these challenges and pressures, I am afraid that it would be difficult to reach the peak of martial arts throughout our lives. The reason why we have achieved what we have today is really thanks to everyone who wants to kill us.

That night, the warship docked in a dense forest shelter on a tributary ten miles away from Jiujiang. There was another cargo ship loaded with rice and grain waiting there, as well as Bu Tianzhi, the deputy leader of the Jukun Gang, and Chen Laomou, the craftsman.

They boarded the cargo ship and Chen Laomou immediately began to change the disguises of the four of them.

First, change Kou Zhong into a vulgar businessman.

Chen Laomou said proudly: The most important thing in the modification method is to use the magic according to the shape to make people unexpected. There is no way to associate the modified appearance with the previous appearance. This way, even acquaintances can be deceived.

When they saw Yun Yuzhen, Bu Tianzhi, Xiang Yushan and Xu Ziling all nodded and praised, they even said with great enthusiasm: A man with a strong body like Zhong will show his flaws in any appearance, but he can only act slowly if he turns into a big fat man.

Conceal the eyes and ears of others.

Yun Yuzhendao: Kou Zhong remembered that the rice and grain merchants from Yuanling County passed the Yuanshui River and entered the river to deliver the goods to Xinglong, a time-honored brand in Jiujiang City. Since the army needed food, Lin Shihong's Chu army would never stay in trouble, not to mention Xinglong's orders and formal orders.

Customs clearance documents.

Kou Zhong looked at Yun Yuzhen standing aside from the reflection in the bronze mirror and said: What is my name?

Bu Tianzhi next to him replied: Mr. Kou asked Gu An to hang out in brothels and taverns because of his wealth, but he was quite stingy and was not popular with his gold-loving sister.

Kou Zhong smiled bitterly and said: Are you afraid that my squandering will make me so hated by others?

Yun Yuzhen covered her mouth and smiled sweetly, while Xiang Yushan said in embarrassment: This is the intention of Gang Leader Yun, because he is afraid that you will really stay in the brothel and miss the main business!

Bu Tianzhi said again: Mr. Xu is your brother Gu Xiang who was treated harshly by you. He was angry because you were pointing here and there and yelling curses at will. But because of his cowardly nature, he dared to get angry but did not dare to speak.

Xiangyushan said: I will be the accounting supervisor of your Gu family. All the tedious work will be done by me. My name is Gu Ning, and I am your cousin.

Kou Zhongdao: Then who is Gang Leader Yun?

Yun Yuzhen's face turned red and she said, "How about I become your new concubine?"

Kou Zhong laughed and said: Then I must be afraid that you will steal people, so I always take you with me when doing business in other places!

Don't forget to live in the same room so as not to arouse suspicion.

At this time, Chen Laomou dyed his temples a little white, making him appear to be around forty years old.

Xu Ziling sighed: "Chen Gongzhen is really capable. If Mr. Zhong knew how to suppress the glare in his eyes, no one would be able to recognize him!"

The cargo ship trembled slightly and set sail.

※※※

The grain ship arrived in Jiujiang in the early morning.

Under the supervision of Kou Zhong, a big-bellied businessman, Jukun helped porters to transport the goods to the mule cart prepared by Xinglong. Xiangyushan's accountant and the people sent by Xinglong handed over documents and procedures to the local water transport officer until noon.

At the right time, everyone comes to the city with the goods.

The city is surprisingly prosperous, but looking at his appearance and attire, you can tell that he is either a businessman or a martial arts figure.

Bu Tianzhi was very familiar with the situation here and whispered to everyone: The Iron Cavalry Association has accumulated a large amount of property through plunder in recent years, so the people coming from other places either want to do business or want to join the Chu army, which shows that many people are optimistic about this trip.

The merger of Lin Shihong and Ren Shaoming.

Xu Ziling looked out the window and said: These people seem to be very well-behaved.

Bu Tianzhi said with a smile: This is just a situation during the day. At night, people in the Jianghu are fighting fiercely due to personal grudges and interests, and many people are killed and injured. As long as it does not affect the lives of the people in the city, it is actually very difficult for both the Iron Cavalry Association and the Chu army to adopt a laissez-faire attitude.

Take care of it. Especially in brothels, pubs, casinos and other places where people who don't have money dare not have fun at night.

Kou Zhong frowned and said: Lin Shihong doesn't allow outsiders to enter the city?

Xiangyu Shandao: That would cause Lin Shihong to lose a large amount of city customs and tax revenue. Moreover, many martial arts figures have some relationship with the Iron Cavalry Association or know someone in the association. Moreover, the Iron Cavalry Association is determined to attract new blood, which is why Jiujiang is so noisy.

Like most cities in the south of the Yangtze River, Jiujiang and its interior are dominated by river traffic. The main layout is a cross-shaped street with four gates and paved with stone slabs. It is wide enough to accommodate eight horses running at a time. The lanes are arranged in a square grid and lead to the street in an orderly manner.

Ganbi Street, where Xinglong is located, belongs to the Fumin District. The houses along the road are full of gatehouses, bricks, carved tiles, courtyards, trees and flowers, and the atmosphere is peaceful, with no trace of the war.

There are rivers interspersed in between, and there are green trees and thin willows on the banks, which creates a beautiful scenery.

When the mule team drove into the large granary behind Xinglongpu, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

After washing and resting, it was already dusk and everyone gathered in the living room in the backyard. Niu Gangcai, Xinglong's boss, was Xiangyushan's capable subordinate stationed here and took the opportunity to report to everyone on the situation in Jiujiang.

I heard that Ren Shaoming had only arrived at Xiangyu Mountain tomorrow morning and said: Lin Shihong and Ren Shaoming chose Jiujiang for the alliance ceremony this time, and they did so grandly. It seems that they want to demonstrate their strength to the world. I don't believe that the heroes in the north will not care about this.

There are those who care to win over, but there are also those who will destroy. Jiujiang is now a time when dragons and snakes are mixed. We should be especially careful when acting.

Kou Zhongdao: "Sometimes my heart just doesn't work. Let's go to Chunzai Lou tonight to trample the territory first and see if we can take advantage of the environment there to kill Ren Shaoming."

Niu had just taken out a scroll and waited for Bu Tianzhi to move the dishes to make room and spread it on the table. It was a bird's-eye view of Chun Zai Lou, which was delicate and delicate.

Niu Fangcai said: The main building in Chun Zai is divided into two courtyards, front and rear. There are three two-story double buildings in the front courtyard, separated by a multi-passage corridor and a rockery fish pond, which are mainly used to receive ordinary guests.

Yun Yuzhen said: If Mr. Kou and the others go there, can they only have fun in this area?

Niu Fang just started to say: That's it. The backyard is twice as big as the front yard and is planted with flowers, plants and trees. It is one of the top ten scenic spots in Jiujiang and is called Spring Garden. There are ten buildings arranged symmetrically to only welcome guests who have a good reputation and are willing to spend money. One of them is called Chun Garden.

The house in the garden is reserved exclusively for Ren Shaoming. It is a place he must visit every time he comes to Jiujiang.

Kou Zhong sighed: My grandma is here.

Xu Ziling said: Uncle Niu really has a way to find out everything about Chun Zailou.

Kou Zhongdao: With Ren Shaoming's power here, he can take the woman he likes into his private room. Why do he let her stay there so that other people can share in the same?

Xiangyu Shandao: This is Ren Shaoming’s specialty, that is, he will not let any woman get involved so as not to affect the great cause of hegemony.

Kou Zhong asked again: Do you have any informants there? Otherwise, how could you know Chun Zailou so well?

Xiangyu Shantou said: Of course, we have long wanted to assassinate Ren Shaoming, but we just didn’t have the chance to do it!

Xu Ziling said: Is it common knowledge that Ren Shaoming is infatuated with Huo Qi?

Yun Yuzhen shook his head and said: On the contrary, no one knows about this extremely secret except some people in Chun Zailou.

Kou Zhong said happily: "This is even more ideal. Someone can show me the way to Chun Zai Lou."

Xiangyushan hurriedly said: Of course he is my younger brother!
