Martial arts colleagues: left-handed medicine and right-handed poison

Chapter 256 The Situation of Wagang Village
Kou Zhong shook his head and said, "Do you think we are traveling in mountains and rivers? The place we are going now is the Wagang Army's lair. If you are an officer and soldier, would you let people come in and out casually? It is safer to go by land. Ha, here you are Reminder, let us buy a carriage, then we can still take turns to drive and rest, ha, it saves time and effort, you are right to follow me!"

While laughing and cursing, the two of them rushed to the largest town nearby, bought a simple carriage pulled by two strong horses, and continued their journey.

It was the first time for the two of them to own such a valuable and useful means of transportation, and they loved the two horses very much, calling the whiter one Bai'er and the gray one Hui'er.

Four days later, they arrived at Wagang City, where Zhairang revolted, but at this time the city had fallen into the hands of the imperial soldiers and horses again.

As soon as the two entered the city, they felt the atmosphere tense. Not only was the city defense strengthened, but they also encountered groups of troops on the streets from time to time.

After finding the inn, Kou Zhong specially rewarded the clerk of the inn, wanting to treat the horse well, and asked him about the situation by the way.

While having dinner in the restaurant attached to the inn, he said in a low voice: "It turns out that Li Mi was going to attack Luoyang, the eastern capital, but he didn't know how to reveal the secret. Now he attacked Xingluocang instead. Yang Yu, the king of Yue who was guarding the eastern capital, sent Liu Changgong to intercept him. Pei Renji, who is guarding Rongyang Xihulao, is planning to drag Li Mi back. It seems that Li Mi's situation is not so optimistic."

Xu Ziling wondered: "Isn't the leader of the Wagang Army Sister Susu's master Zhai Rang? Why are you talking about Li Mi or something?"

Kou Zhong shrugged and said: "That's what the guy said, maybe Zhai Rang has to retreat to practice because he was injured by that strange man, or, alas! I hope he is not killed by Li Mi." Speaking of this, both of them are anxious If you burn, you can't wait to fly to Xingyang with your wings.

Kou Zhong smiled wryly and said: "I just asked the guy about the way to Xingyang, and the guy urged me not to go there, and he said that Yangwu is in chaos and will be in danger at any time. Ha, he said he met Wagang There is no problem with the army, but the most fearful thing is to encounter deserters who deserted the government or a defeated army, which is worse than encountering tigers and wolves."

Xu Ziling sighed when he thought of the defeated army that murdered and set fire.

Kou Zhong suddenly became excited, and said in a low voice: "Now the world is becoming more and more chaotic. I heard that a man named Xue Ju, who used to be a school guard in Jincheng Mansion, rebelled and claimed to be the overlord of the Western Qin Dynasty. He wanted to rule the world like Qin Shihuang. Now that Tianshui has been conquered and used as the capital, I don’t think this Xue Ju is a very important person. If it were me, how could I be so stupid and eager to proclaim myself emperor, clearly look down on the other rebels, and become the target of public criticism.”

Xu Ziling asked: "Where is Tianshui?"

Kou Zhong said triumphantly, "Tianshui is beyond the Qinling Mountains, west of the capital, no wonder you don't know."

He took over and analyzed: "If it wasn't for the Wagang Army holding back the army of the capital and the Eastern Capital, I'm afraid Xue Ju would not dare to rebel. In addition, there is a guy named Li Gui who also raised troops in Wuwei and proclaimed himself King of Daliang. In a few months, there were two more rebel armies, and it seemed that the Sui Dynasty was exhausted. Yi said again: "As I see it.As Brother Li said, except for Dou Jiande, Li Mi, Wang Bo and our father, I am afraid that no one else has done much. "

Xu Ziling said with a smile: "Have you forgotten Li Xiaozi and us?"

Kou Zhong blushed and said, "Frankly speaking, I really don't want to remember that boy Li."

Xu Ziling said: "We will definitely be the strongest in the future." Xu Ziling has always believed in Kou Zhong.

Kou Zhong nodded and said, "I like to hear that!"

At this time, the man in charge of the stables came to the two of them angrily and said in panic: "You two young masters, something is wrong. Someone is trying to steal your horses."

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling's expressions changed at the same time.

When the two of them arrived at the stables in the courtyard of the inn, Bai'er and Huier and more than a dozen other horses were forced to be led out by more than a dozen officers and soldiers, and they were about to leave.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling rushed over, blocked the way, and yelled to stop.

The officers and soldiers obviously didn't expect someone to fight so much, they shouted in unison, and two of them even drew their sabers.

Kou Zhong leaned close to Xu Ziling's ear and said, "You steal the horse, I'll deal with the man, let's see how imposing I am!"

With a flash of saber light, an officer and soldier's broadsword had already slashed to the neck, regardless of whether it would kill someone or not.

Kou Zhong's eyes lighted up, his face became extremely cold, as if his feet were cold, he looked for the coming situation, his right hand protruded out with lightning, he actually held the handle of the knife, and the lightning flew out from below.

Amidst the screams of the officers and soldiers, Ying's feet flew more than ten feet away and hit the body of another officer and soldier passing by. The two immediately rolled into a ball, in a panic.

The other officers and soldiers were dumbfounded, only to realize that they met a master.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked at each other, they didn't expect Kou Zhong's kick to be so powerful.

Kou Zhong threw the saber into the air, and when it came down, he held the saber by the handle. He stood with the saber horizontally like Xueba Fenghan, and said coldly with the air of looking down on the world: "As officers and soldiers, you openly robbed civilians and horses, are you living a bad life?" Tired?"

The officers and soldiers were taken by his aura, and no one dared to make another move.

A strong man who looked like a leader stepped forward and shouted angrily: "We have been ordered by the general to collect horses. How dare you disobey the order, boy, but you are so impatient, why don't you go away?"

Kou Zhong himself is a criminal, so he would see this kind of imperial law that oppresses the good people, and one of them won the battle, he was excited, and he took two steps forward, when he was only Zhang Xu away from the leader, his whole body felt Concentrate on the edge of the blade, and at the same time stimulate the true energy in the body.

A gust of bitter saber aura immediately emanated from the blade, and the strangest thing was that the whole blade lit up.

The faces of more than a dozen officers and soldiers changed at the same time, and the soldier who bore the brunt was forced to retreat two steps by the saber energy.

Kou Zhong didn't expect that he could really have such power. He was so happy that he immediately returned to his original form and the sword energy disappeared.

The soldier thought it was his illusion just now, and he was bullying them because they were young. He said hello, and more than ten people rushed forward, raising their swords to greet the two of them.

The two used the jade girl Suxin swordsmanship, followed the soldier, and soon everyone around them was injured by them.

Kou Zhong's saber strikes out with lightning, and another person fell to the ground immediately, he said with a big smile, "Next year today will be the anniversary of your death, you will be unlucky to meet us."

When all the officers and soldiers heard that he was going to kill someone, the uninjured ones immediately scattered, and the injured ones had to crawl and roll away.

Kou Zhong stroked his sword and sighed: "The officers and soldiers look down on small things like mice and only know how to bully civilians. No wonder so many people are forced to rebel."

Xu Ziling led the horse over and said with a wry smile: "If we don't run away, when the enemy soldiers come back, today will be our death anniversary next year."

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling swung their long knives and rode their horses through the city gate.

The soldiers guarding the city gate obviously hadn't received the news yet, so they were caught off guard and knocked down five or six of them.

They were naturally very happy. Although they felt a little sad about the clothes left behind in the carriage, the feeling of exhaling and raising their eyebrows temporarily overshadowed everything else.

After driving for more than 20 miles, it was already dusk, and the two slept in the open in the mountains beside the road.

Kou Zhong came back from hunting a pheasant, Xu Ziling had already collected enough firewood to start a fire for barbecue.

The two of them sniffed the fragrance and both felt satisfied.

After Kou Zhong glanced at the horses grazing on the nearby hillside with concern, he sighed: "I didn't expect that we two paupers would finally have two good horses. I thought we would eventually get ahead."

Xu Ziling said: "Yes! It's just that this jade girl Suxin's swordsmanship is more than enough for defense and not enough for attack."
