Early the next morning, Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong urged Duan Yucheng and four others to practice their skills.

Kou Zhong was using a whip to force Bao Zhifu and Shi Jie to their knees. When Yun Yuzhen came to Xu Ziling who was watching, he looked at the situation in the field in surprise and said: "Their martial arts are quite good. How did you recruit them back?" .

when!

Bao Zhifu's sword was rolled up by Kou Zhong's whip and fell to the ground.

Xu Ziling glanced at the radiant Yun Yuzhen and his eyes fell on Duan Yucheng, who was wielding two guns to fill Bao Zhifu's position and shouted first: "Ma Gui, do it!"

Ma Gui gave the order and fired three iron bullets from each hand to shoot at Kou Zhong's chest and crotch vitals.

Yun Yuzhen was immediately frightened, thinking that practicing martial arts was like a life and death fight.

Kou Zhong laughed loudly and shook Ma Gui's hidden weapons, all of which failed.

Xu Ziling then smiled and said: Why does Master Meirener get up so early?

Yun Yuzhen gave him a flirtatious look and said: I am worried about you!

Xu Ziling smiled bitterly and said: Master seems to have mistaken me for Kou Zhong again!

Yun Yuzhen's face turned red and she rolled her eyes at him in embarrassment, saying: I thought you would never mention that matter again.

That incident refers to the incident where she mistook Xu Ziling for Kou Zhong and threw herself into her arms for a kiss.

Xu Ziling walked into the arena with a faint smile and shouted: It's my turn!

Kou Zhong withdrew his whip and retreated to Yun Yuzhen's side. Xu Ziling was already fighting with the four of them empty-handed.

Kou Zhong smiled and said: These four are becoming more and more powerful, which proves that we have unique vision and good teaching.

Humph! Of course Master Meiren’er was tossing and turning and couldn’t fall asleep without me last night.

Yun Yuzhen's face turned even redder and she spat: I don't know how sweet my sleep was. Why are men so arrogant that they think their daughter's family won't be successful without them?

Kou Zhong breathed a sigh of relief and said: That's good. I thought Master Meiren'er wouldn't be able to survive without me. Then I won't have to rush back after I leave in a few days.

Yun Yuzhen knew that he was playing a trick on her, but she still couldn't help but yelled: Kou Zhong! You are openly bullying others. Kou Zhong smiled and said: Finally, I will test the feelings of the leader of Izu Yun. Hee! Sister Su is here, do you want to be with me? Shall we go play together?

Yun Yuzhen glanced at him and said: Only ghosts will accompany you?

I gave him another sweet smile before leaving.

※※※

The carriage drove out of the General's Mansion, with eight cavalry clearing the way and eight cavalry guarding the rear. Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling rode slowly beside Su Su's carriage.

Susu was in a good mood, chatting and laughing with the two of them from time to time through the window.

The convoy left the city from the north gate and its destination was Linjiang Pavilion on the upper reaches, a famous resort outside Baling City where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Yangtze River.

After leaving the city, Susu listened to the two men and took a break by the roadside.

Kou Zhong saw that Xu Ziling not only looked thoughtful but also looked a little pale, so he asked: What are you thinking about?

Xu Ziling hesitated for a long time and then said: I suddenly remembered Yang Xuyan, who was he working for?

Kou Zhong frowned and said: Didn't someone say that he was pursuing Yang Shichong's beautiful daughter? Everyone's surname is Yang, so it's easy to get close to her!

Xu Ziling turned back and took a deep look at the dock outside the city and said: Of course I remember this, but I feel it is inappropriate to bury it. The person Yang Shichong is most afraid of now is when Li Mi will get Xiao Mian's turn.

Kou Zhong muttered: But there is no reason to do things for Lin Shihong. There is no way that a person from a royal family like Yang Xuyan can be related to a man from a green forest like Lin Shihong. But you have to treat me well. If I were Yang Shichong, how could I be free? Let me take care of the affairs of the South.

Xu Ziling said: If Yang Xuyan is not a member of Yang Shichong, he should be related to one of the four clans. The Song clan is at odds with the royal family and lives in the south and can be deleted. The only ones left are the Li clan, the Dugu clan and the Yuwen clan.

Kou Zhong analyzed: The Dugu Clan has always been an ally of the Baling Gang and can be eliminated. The remaining ones are the Yuwen Clan and the Li Clan.

It seems that it is more likely that it is the Yuwen Clan. Alas! But the Yuwen Clan is too busy to take care of itself, just like Yang Shichong, who has no time to look south.

Could it be that my mother is Li Shimin’s son?

Xu Ziling said with emotion: This possibility is very high. Li Zi is a far-sighted and talented person. Only he can see through the importance of Xiang Zi first. Kill him and Xiao Mian will be half blind. This also shows that Li Zi thinks highly of Xiao.

Milling.

Kou Zhong first said: Sun Tzu's art of war is based on knowing yourself and your enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger. If you talk about the thoroughness, vastness and pervasiveness of the intelligence network, there is nothing better than the brothels and casinos all over the country that Xiangzi has in his hands. Hey! Isn't it interesting to have Li Zi plus Yang Xuyan?

At this time Susu opened the curtain again and poked her head out and said: I am very bored! Can you come over and chat with your sister?

※※※

When they returned home in the evening, Yucheng reported to them: The subordinates followed the instructions of the two gang leaders and paid close attention to the surroundings from the moment the carriage went out. No one was following or anything unusual happened.

After they returned to the room, they were both confused and disappointed.

Could it be that he guessed wrong or the enemy was clever enough to avoid the eyes and ears of Duan Yucheng and the others?

Kou Zhong patted the stage and said: There is no reason for Yucheng and the others to hide and monitor in carefully selected locations. As long as someone is following them, they will not be able to hide it unless...hey!

Xu Ziling replied: I don't believe that the evil monk Yanni is willing to swallow this breath of birdiness. The evil monk is even more irritable and will never have the patience to wait for a long time. Unless...

The two of them looked at each other and felt a light flashing through their minds.

Unless they were waiting for help, there was no reason to miss the opportunity to attack and kill them outside the city.

Assuming that the evil monk Yanni is indeed a member of the Yingui sect, the person who comes to help must be a master from the Yingui sect or Qu Ao, which cannot be underestimated.

Kou Zhongxu let out a breath of cold air and said: Never take Sister Su away from the city again and simply use the empty car to recharge.

Xu Ziling frowned and said: We must find a way to reverse this passive situation. It is best to kill the evil monk Yanni first before the enemy's masters arrive, otherwise we will be in trouble.

Kou Zhong scratched his head and said: "Have you ever thought about it? Actually this is quite strange. If it goes by the surface, the evil monk Yanni doesn't even know about our relationship with the Baling Gang, let alone that we sneaked to Baling afterwards. Why did we

Do you think they know our whereabouts and are ready to ambush us at any time?

Xu Ziling said: This is purely an almost supernatural feeling with no explanation.

Kou Zhong sighed: It can be seen that the Secret of Immortality is indeed a Taoist treasure and you are much sharper than me in this aspect. It is all because your mentality is closer to that of a cultivator. No! You are simply the real Ziling! Hehe!

She didn't put on Taoist robes. She was most suitable to be paired with the master concubine Xuan and stole Hou Xibai's heart!

Xu Ziling said distressedly: You are talking nonsense now.

Kou Zhong said solemnly: This is no nonsense. If you really have this spiritual sense, we can use it. For example, can you feel where the enemy is?

Xu Ziling was silent for a while and slowly shook his head and said: No! I just have an ominous premonition in my heart, that's all.

Kou Zhong stood up and said, "Why don't we do an experiment? First we go around the city in circles and then go outside the city."

Suppose that when the feeling of danger in your heart increases, it means that we are closer to the enemy. This detection technique is guaranteed to be unprecedented and can kill the enemy by surprise.

Xu Ziling said in shock: "Then there's no need to beat around the bush. Do you remember when you asked me what I was thinking when I just left the city this morning? I told you that I thought of Yang Xuyan. Actually, that happened later. At that time, my sense of danger was greatly enhanced, and I felt very unhappy.

Comfortable.

Just like the scene before Yang Xuyan attacked us that day, that's why I thought of Yang Xuyan. But after going west, the strange feeling gradually disappeared.

Kou Zhong was overjoyed and said: "That's it. There are many large ships parked at the pier outside the city gate, and one of them must be a hiding place for the enemy. And they must be watching us secretly at that time to decide whether to follow us and take action. That's how you feel. That's it."

Just like Yang Xuyan wanted to assassinate Xiangzi that day. Ha! I got a treasure this time.

Xu Ziling stood up with excitement, his eyes flashed and he said in a deep voice: Without further ado, let's go and give the enemy an unexpected surprise that they will never forget.

※※※

A mile-long river outside Baling City was filled with as many as two to three hundred large ships. There were more than a dozen pavilions set up in the open space on the shore, where mountains of goods were piled up, and there was no time to transport them in.

Surplus goods in the city.

Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong put on the water and leaned against a pile of cargo. They looked at the hundreds of lights reflected from the ship and had no idea how to start looking for the enemy.

Kou Zhong whispered: Is there a place where you feel stronger?

Xu Ziling smiled bitterly and said: I feel nothing at all! Should we go back to sleep?

Kou Zhong shook his head to express his disagreement and said: Suppose we put our ears to the bottom of the boat and eavesdrop, do you think we can hear all the sounds on the boat?

Xu Ziling said angrily: So what if everyone on the boat is asleep or has nothing to say, do we still have to take turns eavesdropping? Don't forget that there are hundreds of boats here, even if each boat only listens for a quarter of an hour, it won't be heard.

It was getting dark all day long.

Kou Zhong finally gave up and said dejectedly: "Then I'll have to come back tomorrow and hope your feeling will be enlightened. Hey! Xu Ziling followed his gaze and saw a speedboat without lights, weaving left and right among the ships and heading towards the shore. He only looked at the speedboat.

You will know that the boat operator is a master of the family.

The two of them used their eyesight to not miss any movement of the target.

A man and a woman were standing on the speedboat. The young woman stood on the bow and looked like she was a servant. She looked pretty but had a slutty vibe.

The man is stout but has a vulgar appearance, and looks like a servant like the woman.

The speedboat quickly approached and the maidservant who had not yet reached the shore stood up and submerged into the river bank after a few ups and downs. The dark boat was waiting on the shore under the control of the male servant.

The two were overjoyed, although they were not sure whether they were evil monk Yanni's people, but they were incomparable to the previous cluelessness.

After exchanging glances, the two of them walked around in a circle silently, out of the sight of the manservant, and quietly entered the water. After a while, they dived to the bottom of the boat to practice their skills.

They took the opportunity to gather their strength to cope with the fierce battle that might come.

The maid came back half an hour later.

The valet asked: Have you got anything?

The maid replied "Hmm!" to indicate that she had taken the item.
