[Datang Shuanglong Biography] The Wolf of the Eastern Capital

Kou Zhong came out from the palace and was about to go out of the city to Jingnian Temple to look for Xu Ziling. Unexpectedly, when he was passing by the downtown area, he was found by Wang Shichong's subordinates, and then he was invited into Shangshu's mansion. Looking for Xu Ziling, he didn't want to make a fuss with Wang Shichong, so he directly refused. Unexpectedly, the person who came would say Xu Xingzhi's name. Kou Zhong had no choice but to follow him. Kou Zhong needs someone who actively fights for him, so he naturally wants to keep him safe.

The visitor took Kou Zhong into Shangshu's mansion through the back door, and Kou Zhong was vigilant about what Wang Shichong was planning.In fact, it's just that Tang Fei and those at the main gate haven't left yet.

Seeing Wang Shichong, Kou Zhong had no choice but to talk to Wang Shichong with a smile.

"I don't know why Lord Shangshu is looking for me so eagerly? I heard that Mr. Xu is also a guest at Shangshu's mansion. I don't know where he is?"

"Brother Kou, don't worry, Mr. Xu is a distinguished guest in the house. I have ordered my subordinates to treat him well. I am looking for Brother Kou this time, do you want to invite Brother Kou to do something?"

"What's the matter?" Kou Zhong thought, he couldn't be dealing with Tang Tian again.Why is Wang Shichong still not giving up?

"The day after tomorrow is the birthday of Rong Fengxiang, the new head of the Luoyang Gang. I need to go to celebrate my birthday, but this Rong Mansion is not as well-guarded as the Shangshu Mansion. I need a master to escort me."

Kou Zhong pursed his lips, thinking to himself, you have caught the false action, how can I not agree, "It is my honor to be able to serve Lord Shangshu."

"In the evening the day after tomorrow, you will accompany me to the Rong Mansion's birthday banquet."

The two reached an agreement, Wang Shichong asked someone to send Kou Zhong out, and then he thought about how to push Kou Zhong out if Li Mi really wanted to take the opportunity to harm him, so that Tang Tian and Li Mi could face each other.

Kou Zhong left Wang Shichong's study room, saw Dong Shuni coming back from the outside, and hid, and waited for Dong Shuni to disappear before leaving the Shangshu Mansion through the back door. As soon as he turned a street corner, a servant came to invite him, "My Lord Yang and Lord Ouyang, please, Master Kou, tell us about it in the teahouse."

As soon as Kou Zhong heard the surname, he followed the boy and left. He felt that he should be able to get Wang Shichong's plan from Yang Gongqing and Ouyang Xiyi. In order to eliminate doubts, he could only suppress his heart to find Xu Ziling.

Kou Zhong went up to the second floor of the teahouse and entered the private room, feeling the atmosphere was a bit dignified.

"Second brothers, why is your face so heavy?"

"Since my servants have found you, I'm afraid you have already met Master Shangshu." Yang Gongqing forced a smile at Kou Zhong.

"That's right. I'm having doubts and want to ask the two elder brothers. Lord Shangshu asked me to be his bodyguard. I don't understand why Lord Shangshu chose me?"

"Hey, brother Kou, I want you to tell the truth." Ouyang Xiyi asked seriously.

"If big brother Ouyang wants to ask about my relationship with Tang Tian, ​​then I don't want to deceive the two big brothers. Tang Tian and I are old acquaintances. And if Lord Shangshu insists on going against Tang Tian, ​​I'm afraid I will stand with Lord Shangshu. On the opposite side."

"Brother Kou speaks straightforwardly." Yang Gongqing said with a calm face, "Since Brother Kou is so sincere, I will tell the truth. There is news that Li Mi's people entered Luoyang City. I am afraid it will be detrimental to Lord Shangshu. The best time is the birthday banquet in the Rong Mansion the day after tomorrow, when there are so many people, it's impossible to guard against."

Kou Zhong patted the table, "I'm afraid it's Mr. Nanhai Huang's fault who came here."

Kou Zhong remembered that on the way to Luoyang, he had overheard Li Mi's news, saying that he had invited Mr. Huang from Nanhai to help him. Calculating the time, he should have arrived. Moreover, with Mr. Huang's martial arts skills, the assassination , it is bound to get twice the result with half the effort.

"Nine out of ten." Yang Gongqing nodded.

Compared with Yang Gongqing's relaxed posture, Ouyang Xiyi still looked helpless, but he still asked, "I wonder if Tang Tian will go to the birthday banquet?"

"Well, Brother Tang is very casual, I can't tell." Kou Zhong remembered Tang Tian's attitude towards Wang Shichong before, and he was afraid that this time Wang Shichong was doomed. want his life.

"If you look at it according to the general power, General Tang must be going. The things needed to raise soldiers are nothing more than military pay and food. Rong Fengxiang, the richest man in Luoyang, can do both of these things. This birthday banquet happens to be with Rong Fengxiang Good time for a boss contact."

"Ordinary power, is there any special power?" Kou Zhong was curious.

"Do you know why Lord Shang Shu let you go through the back door instead of the front door?"

Kou Zhong shook his head, and Yang Gongqing told about Tang Fei's distribution of money at the gate of Shangshu's mansion, "The 5 taels of silver will be taken out as soon as you say it. There are two things to say about the reward. I always feel that General Tang may not look down on Rong Fengxiang's family wealth."

"Hey, to be honest, I can't see through Brother Tang, but one thing I can be sure of is that he is sincerely good to the people, to his soldiers, and to his brothers." Kou Zhongyi listened to Shangshu The matter at the gate of the mansion and Wang Shichong's attitude knew that Yang Gongqing and Ouyang Xiyi might be cold-hearted towards Wang Shichong, so they helped Tang Tian say something nice.

"He is in opposition to Master Shangshu, but I, Song Mengqiu and Lang Feng have worked together for many years. When I think of the two of them dying at the hands of Tang Tian, ​​I always feel a little uncomfortable." Ouyang Xiyi was still a little hesitant.

The three of them fell silent. This brotherhood is the worst thing to talk about. Kou Zhong thought about it, then changed the subject, "By the way, I don't know how Lord Shang Shu plans to deal with Li Milai's people? Although I have an old relationship with Tang Tian, But Li Mi is a real enemy, and I will definitely help Lord Shang Shu with all my strength."

Yang Gongqing and Ouyang Xiyi looked at each other without reservation, and explained Wang Shichong's plan.

"Stand-in? Do you want me to protect a stand-in?" Kou Zhong said in surprise.

"Exactly, although Lord Shangshu is on guard against you, he still thinks your previous strategy is feasible, so he gave Li Mi's people the posture of Lord Shangshu being seriously injured, and let them attack, and we surrounded him from behind."

Kou Zhong felt upset, let him serve as Wang Shi's bodyguard, but now he has to deliberately lose to Li Mi's people.And Wang Shichong actually threatened him with Xu Xingzhi, Kou Zhong felt really aggrieved.

"Brother Kou, don't worry, we will try our best to take care of your friend. But Master Shang Shu is very worried about you, so he has to hold on to him." Ouyang Xiyi comforted Kou Zhong when he saw that Kou Zhong's expression was not good.

"Master Shangshu is not only worried about Brother Kou, but we old courtiers are also wary, except for his relatives, now he doesn't believe our words very much."

"The two big brothers are talented people, there must be a place for them to display their talents in this world." Kou Zhong thought about recruiting these two to his Ssangyong Gang after Tang Tian killed Wang Shichong.

The three of them said a few more words and parted ways. Kou Zhong was going to find Xu Ziling. After meeting Lu, because he didn't say a few words about other things, he made an appointment to meet at Dong's restaurant at noon today, and then stopped going out of the city. After all, Xu Ziling also knew about it. Xu Ziling, who has always been careful, would not miss time.He might as well just wait here.Hmph, he doesn't believe Brother Tang's words, Young Master Ling will definitely not be seduced by that Cihang Jingzhai woman.

Kou Zhong was about to enter the restaurant when he suddenly felt a strange movement coming from behind him. With a sway of his body, a red thread shot into the ground in front of him. Kou Zhong turned around and walked towards the direction where the hidden weapon was shot. After catching up, he found that the person who came was actually Hong Fu female.

"If it wasn't for that Tang Tian confounding black and white, unable to distinguish right from wrong, and you two listened to slander, why would my husband have to sigh for you all day long? Right now, if the two of you can turn your back on your way, it's not too late. Otherwise, don't let me go." Blame my subordinates for being ruthless." Hong Funu threatened.

Kou Zhong felt a big headache, he suddenly felt why a woman's thoughts are so simple, it's not too late to know what to do.What is lost, Kou Zhong is on the right path, and it is too late for him to turn around, after last night, there is no room for him and Li Shimin to turn around.

Kou Zhong naturally didn't listen to Hong Fu Nu's threats, the two exchanged moves for a few rounds, Kou Zhong didn't want to get entangled with her, found a gap, and ran away.Hong Fu Nu failed in the pursuit and stomped her foot hard.

After escaping from Hongfu Girl, Kou Zhong went into Dong's Restaurant and met Turkic Khan Tuli, only to find out that Li Shimin actually had an appointment with Tuli, remembering what Tang Tian said earlier about the private transaction between Li Clan and Turkic Khan , I feel that these famous families really put the interests of the family first.

Rejecting Tuli's invitation to have dinner together, Kou Zhong went up to the top floor of Dong's restaurant alone, Song Lu had reserved a box, but before Song Lu arrived, Xu Ziling came back first.

"Did you go to Jingnian Temple to see Concubine Xuan?" Kou Zhong asked when he saw Xu Ziling.

"Originally, I was going to meet Zen Master Kong. After all, he is the master of Dao, so I offended him a lot before. But Miss Master was there, so I said a few words."

"What did you say?" Kou Zhong had a bad feeling.

"I talked about some of Luoyang's history, culture, and scenic spots. Hey, the rise and fall of ancient and modern times, we still look at Luoyang City. In the past, Luoyang was only regarded as the capital, just prosperous. Now it seems that Luoyang's strategic and military position is also very dangerous. By the way, I I have already discussed the matter of He's Bi with Miss Shi. Miss Shi said that she originally planned to pursue it to the end, but thinking that we both have the talent to practice the formula of longevity and understand He's Bi, she has the intention of pity for talent and doesn't care. I plan to pursue it."

"It's so easy not to pursue it, it's because she can't beat Brother Tang."

"Young Master Zhong, don't say that, Miss Shi, you may not be able to defeat Big Brother Tang, but you are still somewhat sure of us." Xu Ziling said with appreciation.

"So, are you afraid? I'm going to listen to her and decide that Li Shimin is the right man. Do you think that I, Kou Zhong, is a rascal in Yangzhou City? I can't compare to Li Shimin who came from a big boss, and I can't compare to Cihang Jingzhai. The fairy is beautiful, and she is not worthy to compete in this world, so you want to abandon me?" Kou Zhong said angrily, and the last sentence came out, Kou Zhong regretted a little, if Ling Shao really left, what should he do?

"Young Master Zhong, what are you talking about? Am I the kind of person who will abandon my brothers?" Xu Ziling can be said to have grown up with Kou Zhong, and coupled with his delicate mind, he is naturally very familiar with Kou Zhong's temperament. He could hear the lack of self-confidence in the words of the always confident Zhong Shao.Although he was angry at Zhong Shao's distrust, he also knew that if the quarrel continued like this, the relationship between the two would only worsen, so he said directly, "I just saw Li Shimin downstairs, and he wanted to recruit me, but I refused It’s because of you, a brother who doesn’t trust me.”

"Li Shimin, why did he recruit you, and dare to rob me?" Kou Zhong's anger came up again.

"Calm down, I refused. Don't worry, I only recognize you as my brother in this world."

After hearing Young Master Ling's words, Kou Zhong snorted twice, not to mention how comfortable he was, but he still insisted, "Who knows if you will soften your heart when you see Cihang Jingzi's beautiful woman, Cihang Jingzhai The woman in the house can be a beauty trick."

"I should be worried about the matter of emphasizing sex over friends, from Li Xiuning, Yun Yuzhen, to Dong Shuni, and Miss Song San. I'm really afraid that one day you will abandon my brother for a woman." Xu Ziling thought I think Kou Zhong has a lot of peach blossoms.

"Since Brother Tang analyzed it for me last time, I found that women are really unreliable. From now on, I only trust brothers and never trust women again. So, Young Master Ling, you are really important to me. In this world, I I only believe in you, if you don’t stand on my side, I think I will really collapse.” Kou Zhong remembered what Tang Tian said before, the important thing is to let the other party know, “Du Fuwei, Li Shimin, Wang Shichong, Li Mi, Yu Wenhuaji, even if Brother Tang becomes my enemy, I dare to say, I dare to fight, but if Ling Shao stood opposite me, I would rather be beaten to death with you by Yu Wenhuaji In Yangzhou."

"Bah, you want to die, don't pull me! You want to die in Yangzhou, but I don't want to. You see, there are not many people in this world who can defeat us. The whole world is amazed by our rise. They are all trying to win us over. Isn’t this your chance to become famous in the world, why bother to say those depressing words.” Before Xu Ziling had the idea of ​​killing Yu Wenhua and avenging Fu Junmao and then returning to the mountains and forests, after listening to Kou Zhong’s inner thoughts, He suddenly realized that if Kou Zhong was in a sea of ​​swords and flames, how could he go back to hiding with peace of mind.Since Kou Zhong wanted to fight for the world, he spent several years fighting for it. If he succeeded, Kou Zhong would be safe and he would go to retreat. If he failed, with his and Kou Zhong's abilities, it is possible to escape .It's not too late to go back to hermitage at that time.Brothers of the same life, we have to advance and retreat together.

"I heard that the brainwashing skills of the women in Cihang Jingzhai are top-notch. I'm afraid you will be persuaded by them."

"Am I such an unstable person in your heart?"

Kou Zhong was silent for a while and said, "I know Ziling, you have a calm mind and don't like disputes. If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have stepped into this troubled world. If Ling Shao, just say something, you don't want to go on, I'll let you go immediately." you go."

Xu Ziling glared at Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling knew Kou Zhong, how could Kou Zhong not understand Xu Ziling, "Young Master Zhong is very calculating, you know that I can't let you go."

Kou Zhong saw the angry look on Xu Ziling's face, and hugged Xu Ziling anxiously, "Sir Ling, I was really scared. Brother Tang said that you might leave me, I was really scared at that time, it was worse than death Afraid."

Feeling the strength of Kou Zhong's hug, Xu Ziling sighed, "Mr. Zhong, who is always confident, why is he not so confident today?"

"It's just because it's Young Master Ling. I, Kou Zhong, are lucky to be brothers with you Young Master Ling."

Xu Ziling curled his lips, he was lucky to be brothers with Kou Zhong.

"Brother Kou and Brother Xu have arrived early." The door of the box was pushed open, and Song Lu's voice sounded.

Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong were stunned, they were too immersed in their own thoughts before, they didn't pay attention to the footsteps outside the door, turned around and saw Song Lu standing at the door, and her little concubine Liu Jing, followed by It was Song Yuzhi, and several of the Song Clan's guards.

Everyone looked at the two people in the room in surprise. Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong glanced at each other, and suddenly realized that they were still hugging each other. They separated quickly, and then laughed dryly at the people outside the room, " We're connecting emotionally."

"Uncle Lu, come in quickly, what are you doing standing at the door?" Kou Zhong resumed his playful look, stepped forward and pulled Song Lu into the door, and the others followed suit.

Song Lu changed his mind, sat down with a smile and said, "After three days away from Shishi, I looked at you with admiration. Unexpectedly, Song Lu, who has always been conceited and has a good eye, also misjudged the two of you."

"Don't think Uncle Lu thinks so highly of him."

Probably the atmosphere at the beginning was not right, no matter how Song Lu and Kou Zhong adjusted it, everyone was just talking in a polite manner.

Waiting for something strange to happen in the restaurant, everyone took advantage of the momentum to go out and have a look around. It turned out that besides Li Shimin and Tuli eating here, Fu Qian also booked a box here with Rong Fengxiang and Wang Bo.Somehow, Fu Qian and Li Shimin confronted each other. After dozens of tricks, they could not tell the winner. In the end, Li Shimin surrendered.Several forces were fairly peaceful, and finally dispersed.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling also bid farewell to Song Lu. When they were going down the stairs, they happened to meet Hou Xibai, the amorous son. Hou Xibai gave them a message. Wang Bo had met Shen Luoyan in private, and he also hooked up with Yu Wenhuaji. Now he is going to win over Fu Qian is a new force.

After being defeated by Li Mi before, Yu Wenhua and returned to Chengdu. He has regrouped and is ready to fight again. Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked at each other and saw the meaning of both sides, avenging Fu Junmao.

Hou Xibai's words just resolved the previous embarrassment between Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, and the two regained their previous tacit understanding and became closer than before.

After leaving the Dong's Restaurant, the two met Li Mi's military advisor, Shen Luoyan. Shen Luoyan gave them a piece of advice, telling them to leave Luoyang City immediately, how could they listen to her.

"Yu Wenhuaji has already sent a letter to Wang Shichong, wanting the lives of you two boys. Do you think Tang Tian, ​​the imperial guard, can protect you? He dares to fight against the world. Yu Wenhuaji, my lord, Wang Shichong, Li Shimin."

Kou and Xu looked at each other, at first they were shocked, but then they were calm. They had many enemies along the way, not many of them. Thinking of the news about Hou Xibai before, I am afraid that all of this is Shen Luoyan's operation.

After Shen Luoyan left, the two went to find Bu Tianzhi, the deputy leader of the Jukun Gang. The main reason was that last night Kou Zhong met with the leader of the Jukun Gang, Yun Yuzhen, and Bu Tianzhi, who was behind Yun Yuzhen, gave it to Kou Zhong in private. Given an address, Kou Zhong wanted to meet him, but unexpectedly, the two learned that Susu's current husband, Xiang Yushan, had an affair with Yunyu, and that the reason why Xiangyushan pursued Susu was because Yunyu really came from her. idea.The purpose is for "Yang Gong's treasure house".Because Bu Tianzhi couldn't see Yun Yuzhen's attitude, he wanted to meet Kou Zhong in private, and he also wanted to surrender.

The two trembled again, the woman was indeed terrifying.Seeing the horror and hatefulness of the two women in succession, Kou and Xu have a deep recognition of Tang Tian's view of women before.

"Sister Susu is the cleanest woman in this world, but it's a pity that we killed Sister Susu." Kou Zhong said angrily, "I'm going to kill Yun Yuzhen."

"No, Sister Su is still in their hands. We can't scare the snake away. We have to wait until the matter here is over and we get out of Duke Yang's treasury, and then we will go to Baling to take Sister Su away from Xiangyu Mountain." Xu Ziling said firmly.

"Letting Sister Su stay in Baling is a day of suffering..."

"Even if you bring thousands of troops over there, what's the point? As long as they threaten Sister Su, you won't give in. We have to plan well for this matter."

"Well, at the critical moment, Ling Shao, your brain still works. What would I do without you by my side?" A smile appeared on Kou Zhong's face.

"I won't be by your side." Xu Ziling patted Kou Zhong on the shoulder and said.

On the other side, near evening, Tang Fei completed his mission and returned to the palace to report to Tang Tian.

"There are more than 7000 people alive, but more than 1000 have been collected?" Tang Tian felt that this number was a bit too much. He has always followed the policy of elite soldiers, and every brother under him must have the ability to save his life.

"Well, everything was done one by one according to the boss's request. There were originally more than 2000 people. I asked them one by one, and eliminated those who didn't want to be soldiers. There are still 640 people."

"In that case, let's take them all. Let them go to the coffin shop to help first. So many people died last night. I am afraid that there will be a shortage of people to be buried in coffins and steles. The day after tomorrow, we will call people together and follow Qin Chuan Let's go to Yanshi together."

"Boss, I don't understand. Why do we still have to deal with dead people?" Qin Chuan next to him asked, "Obviously they are not ours. They gave you 5 taels of silver. Thinking about it makes me feel bad."

"Brother Qin, you didn't look at the eyes of those soldiers at the gate of Shangshu's mansion today. They hate Wang Shichong to death now. I think the soldiers under Wang Shichong must have a good relationship in private. If they are in different camps, go back and message Once we get through, I'm afraid that the people below will definitely be dissatisfied with Wang Shichong, and Wang Shichong's army is in a state of confusion, which is good for us." Tang Fei saw the good in it.

Tang Tian didn't say a word, he did this firstly to fill Wang Shi with some obstacles, and secondly, he also had his own unbearable heart in it.But the second reason is better hidden. In this troubled world, not being able to bear it is really a weakness.

There was still one day before Rong Fengxiang's birthday banquet, and Tang Tian found some time to scare the city defenders again, just for Wang Shichong's death, these people must not mess up.

As for Rong Fengxiang's birthday banquet, he is not interested. If he controls the wealth of the richest man in Luoyang, if he controls all the troops in Luoyang City, Rong Fengxiang will bow to him in order to survive.There is no need to take the initiative to ask him.

Tang Tian waited on Wang Shichong's way back, waiting to intercept Li Mi who attacked Wang Shichong.

Li Mi's scheming was indeed high enough, so that Huang Gong mistakenly attacked the double that Wang Shichong got over first, and immediately retreated after he succeeded. As a result, Wang Shichong was proud of himself for a while and exposed his disguised identity, and then Li Mi, who pretended to be a dead killer, immediately got up and gave Wang Shichong fatal blow.

Kou Zhong saw that Wang Shichong's breath had ceased, and sighed.Luoyang is about to change hands.
