Chapter 6 Looking to the Future (Revisited)

"Paipa."

Two slaps made Boss Yan dizzy. He was still dizzy for a long time and almost fell to the ground. He heard people around him cheering in his ears and asked at his accomplices quickly: "Win? Win? Heavenly cards? Hahahaha, it's good to play, it's so good to play! I've said that this kid will have a boy's hand when he hits people! I'm beaten and the most money scored!"

The person on the other side was extremely angry and wanted to stop betting. Xu Ziling was extremely lucky and betting with him was seeking death.

But those people were unwilling to give up, biting their ears and talking for a while.

Between silver.

"Damn, even if I lose, I will take off my pants, and it will be up to you! Come on, draw cards. If I don't have a chance, I will kneel down at my grandfather and learn to bark. Grandpa is happy. Maybe I reward my grandson with a little bit of silver to buy candy!" The guy opposite held that the person was too much money. He knew that he might lose, he would still bet the money. The purpose was to see Boss Yan being slapped in the face. Of course, he was also anxious and hoped to get it back. After all, maybe the boy's hand would fail.

"I'm afraid of you! I'm going to exchange for a bunch of silver for two slaps in the face, it's worth it! Besides, they are also my brothers, not outsiders. Come on, don't be afraid, I'll be fine if I hit you hard, I'm not doing anything..." Boss Yan's face was swollen, but he didn't care, he won first.

"Bang!"

Xu Ziling slapped Boss Yan again and refused to slap him again. In the end, he was forced to do nothing and said, "Xiao Zhong will hit me for me, I am afraid of blood!"

Kou Zhong smiled all over his face and asked Boss Yan and the group of gamblers, "Master Yan, how many masters, should I fight or not?"

"Nonsense, of course you're fighting! Everyone beats..." Boss Yan simply took the initiative and pulled his accomplices into the water.

"You fight, as long as you can win, it's worth killing!"

"You ask him to beat him again later, be more safe, is he afraid of blood? It's okay, let him hit him with his eyes closed, are afraid of us? No, we don't care, we are begging him, begging him to beat him, do you understand? Look at the fools over there, you don't even have the qualification to beat you... Let's fight, the heavier the better!" Everyone was full of endless sacrifice spirit, and they all said that being beaten was happiness.

"I will be the first to fight. I am their elder brother... Besides, I must be the first to win before!" Boss Yan saw that something was wrong and quickly robbed him of the right to be beaten first.

"Okay, then I will offend you." Kou Zhong tried his best to hold back his laughter, raised his hand, and slapped them one by one.

This game was successfully won again.

After that, no one in Chunfeng Tower dared to bet with Xu Ziling, a boy who tried all the souls.

In the eyes of the group of people opposite, betting with this kid is not a gambling, but a money-giving. No matter how good the gambling technique is, it is not a match for the boy!

Boss Yan won the money. Although he was beaten to the point of blue eyes and swelling of nose bleeding, he still excitedly grabbed Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling and drank a lot of wine. When Boss Yan was drunk, he fell down and turned into a pool of mud. The two ran out of Chunfeng Tower and returned to their small broken house, and then burst into a terrifying laughter.

Whenever they think of Boss Yan, when he comes to beg for him to beat him, the two of them can't help but burst into laughter.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling often recall a certain detail and laughed so hard.

I don't know how long it took.

The two of them only slightly weakened their smiles.

"Xiaoling, how did you do it?" Kou Zhong certainly didn't understand how Xu Ziling turned into a leopard and a supreme person. For those who gamble, having a pair of hands like Xu Ziling would be what they dream of.

"Maybe you don't believe that there are gods in this world." Xu Ziling nodded slightly.

"Oh, I understand now. Did the old god in your dream teach you? I guessed that way, my god... So, can I really become a general in the future?" Kou Zhong was very excited. If Xu Ziling learned the ability of the old god in your dream, then he would have to worry about starving to death in the future? And the old god said that he would be a general in the future, then he would definitely not be wrong.

"He is the most famous general in the world." Before Xu Ziling finished speaking, Kou Zhong had already hugged him tightly. Kou Zhong could not express his excitement, so he could only scream, so he was so happy that he didn't know what to do.

"No, if Boss Yan asks us to bet on money again, you will sooner or later be discovered by them." Kou Zhong finished his happiness and realized the danger.

"We can hide for the time being..." Xu Ziling smiled slightly and said, "We used to have no money, but now we have money, so we can hide in the small town outside the city, stay for ten days and a half months before coming back. I happened to have something to tell you, that is what the immortal grandfather asked me to transfer to you, it is the skill of fighting. After you learn it, you will definitely become an invincible general."

"Xiaoling, I am so moved. I am also the apprentice of the immortal grandfather." Kou Zhong's eyes turned red and his voice choked.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling are both orphans, helpless and can only rely on each other for life.

If someone gives them a little help and care, they will be grateful for their whole life. Now that a fairy grandfather appears, Kou Zhong is moved to a terrible heart.

What Xu Ziling said before was a dream thing, and Kou Zhong was half-believing and half-doubting, but after Xu Ziling's trick tonight, he told the boss a lesson.

Now Kou Zhong believes it.

There is really a boy's hand, no, there is really a fairy grandfather...

My future will really become an invincible general as Xu Ziling said.

"We have survived this level before us and learned martial arts, the entire Central Plains will be shocked by us and shocked by us. Xiao Zhong, you will be the most dazzling invincible general in the world. You can fight invincible in the world!" Xu Ziling strongly encouraged Kou Zhong, letting him understand how legendary and brilliant life will be in the future.

"Okay, then we will drink and eat meat together, and we two brothers will fight the whole world together!" Kou Zhong was full of energy and excited. He was so happy that he forgot to ask Xu Ziling what would happen in the future.

Just as dawn the next day, Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong left Yangzhou City.

Boss Yan won a lot of money and gave it to him some more favors. He gave the two of them thirty taels of silver.

This money is small for the rich. For the poor, it is enough to live a lot of life for several years. Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling buried two large ingots of silver, took some broken silver, ran out dozens of miles, found a small town, rented an old house for farmers, and lived in it.

After living a worry-free life, Xu Ziling began to teach Kou Zhong's military strategy. These were not experts, but he had accumulated thousands of years of experience and countless war examples from ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad. He was given to Kou Zhong, hoping to help him in the future. Xu Ziling's wish was good, because it turned out that among the two dragons of the Tang Dynasty, Kou Zhong established his own power like a blind man touching an elephant. He had nothing to do, and his foundation was extremely shallow from the beginning.

Although Kou Zhong was born as the commander on the battlefield, local victory could not improve or expand his power.

Among the original Tang Dynasty's two dragons, Kou Zhong, who was in the limelight, was always chased and beaten. He had several ups and downs in the middle, and his power was rebuilt several times. Later, after receiving the support of the Lingnan Song family, it once expanded. Unfortunately, the Li family had already dominated and had many supporters, so it was difficult to confront him head-on.

If Kou Zhong did not take so many detours from the beginning and did not have to explore experience in the battle, then I believe his battle for hegemony will be smoother.

Of course, Xu Ziling now cannot listen to Shi Fei's persuasion like before, and be compassionate to the heavens and the others, because he is worried that the war will harm the people, so he persuades Kou Zhong to give up the war between the north and the south.

It turns out that Xu Ziling, among the two dragons of the Tang Dynasty, was in history and did not know the future and did not have the ability to see through the outside world.

But now, with a soul traveling through time, historical truth, and thousands of years of experience in later generations, he will of course fully support Kou Zhong in fighting against the Li family to fight against the north and south, and fight to the death. Xu Ziling now believes that Kou Zhong, who was born in poverty, would definitely not be inferior to Li Shimin as an emperor. The most important thing is that Xu Ziling predicted all the various things in history of the Li Tang Dynasty, and he was unwilling to repeat the same mistakes in history.

There are better options, why follow history?

Xu Ziling knows history, but does not know his future... There is only one thing that can be certain that Kou Zhong will be his eternal brother! He will never betray himself and will never abandon himself.

Therefore, he chose to support Kou Zhong and his most dependable brother!

"Xiaoling, you said I will be a general in the future. What official will you become in the future? Shangshu Ling? Or is a Guanglu official?" Kou Zhong asked with a sudden thought.

"I don't know... I don't know what my future will be." Xu Ziling was silent for a moment and said softly: "Maybe, one day, I will quietly retreat to the countryside, live in the forest, and live in the water. These are not important. I just hope to have someone I like to accompany me. I cannot predict my destiny, nor do I know what changes will happen in my life in the future. However, remember, no matter when, I will support you!"

"It's so boring to retreat to the countryside! Xiaoling, you and me are the general, and we will fight the whole world together!" Kou Zhong was so passionate that he invited loudly.

"A army cannot have two commanders, and a country cannot have two commanders. How can this be done?" Xu Ziling smiled and said, "I can't be like you, otherwise who will your subordinates listen to? What do you listen to? Xiao Zhong, even if I don't become a general, I can support you! As long as you need it, even if I retire to the countryside, I will definitely come out to support you!"

"What do you mean? We two brothers are the same, and it's not the same to whom? We are Yangzhou Shuanglong. From now on, we will build a Shuanglong Gang, and the two brothers work together..." Kou Zhong certainly did not want Xu Ziling to make himself the only invincible general and retire to the countryside.

"Of course we can work together, but as the power increases, maybe one day, the situation will become different. Xiaozhong, I don't want to have a conflict with me one day due to political reasons or conflicts of interests." Xu Ziling laughed and said, "Didn't I tell you the day before yesterday? The superiors sometimes have difficulty, need to do a lot of things against their will, sacrifice the lives of many people, and need to satisfy the interests of many major forces in the world. Sometimes they don't want to kill people, but they can't kill people by themselves. My personality is not that kind of person, nor can I do that, and I don't want to get involved in the middle. Xiaozhong, I just hope that no matter when, we are brothers, and we all depend on each other as we do today!"

"So, you are afraid that I will become a general... Are you afraid that I will kill you in the future?" Kou Zhong was sad and tears were almost falling.

"No, I know, you must not be such a person!" Xu Ziling waved his hand quickly.

"I can swear that I will never harm you, Xiaoling, you are my brother, I will never harm you... If you have to sacrifice you to be a general, then it would be better if this general doesn't do it! I would rather be two thieves in Yangzhou like now, Xiaoling, I will not be a general!" Kou Zhong hugged Xu Ziling, his eyes were red, and his voice was choked.

"I know, Xiaozhong, we are always good brothers." Xu Ziling nodded and said, "Xiaozhong, I like freedom and don't like being an official. This has nothing to do with being a general. You need to be a general in the world, but I don't need to do the same thing. I don't think I will not be able to be a superior person."

"Xiaoling, we can share hardships, or share wealth and honor, we must be able to..." Kou Zhong shouted: "It must be possible!"

"Of course." Xu Ziling patted Kou Zhong on the shoulder and smiled and said, "Learn military tactics well. Generals can't do it just by wanting to do it. You have to have real talent and learn it. Come on, class, yesterday the old god and grandfather told me some battle examples."

As usual, Xu Ziling used a brush to carefully draw a brief map on paper, explaining the examples of siege and siege in the city, and explaining field harassment.

Kou Zhong suddenly became a little wandering around. Could it be that there would be such a day?

After becoming a general, would he really turn against Xu Ziling for something? Will he really want to kill him because of some kind of interests? Will he really become that kind of person? It was because Xu Ziling saw the future with the immortal grandfather that he was unwilling to stay with him and wanted to retire to the countryside? However, even though he knew this, he still taught himself the art of war with all his heart... This fool!

When Kou Zhong thought of this, he was so moved that he almost burst into tears.

Kou Zhong looked at Xu Ziling who was constantly explaining military tactics in front of him, looked at his slightly childish face, the fine sweat on his forehead, and his hands covered with ink.

Suddenly a warm current surged out in his heart, filling his heart... This is my brother. He is a good brother who knows that he might die, but still selflessly teaches me the art of war!

I must not kill him, no matter what happens in the future, I must not harm him!

If anyone wants to harm him, I must not let him go.

Xiaoling, don’t be afraid, I will only protect you and not harm you!

Kou Zhong didn't say these words in his heart. He hoped that he would always remember these words in his heart, use his actions to fulfill his oath, and protect this good brother who depends on each other! Protect him and make him happy and worry-free for the rest of his life. The two of them depend on each other forever! Kou Zhong was thinking about his thoughts when he suddenly heard Xu Ziling look up, wave his hand as soon as he woke up, and said, "It's okay, I'm just a little distracted, come again!"
