Not long after the Yinkui sect's demon girl Huanwan got acquainted with her and left, the young master of the Song clan, Song Shidao, and the girl who looked more and more graceful and looked like a lady, interacted with the fairy-like master concubine Xuan and the coquettish demon girl of a certain demon sect.
Song Yuzhi and Song Yuzhi, who were very different, were led by a servant and came hand in hand with smiles.
"Brother Kou..."
"ah!"
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling coming towards him. Song Shidao just wanted to punch his brother-in-law and exchange greetings. However, with his sharp eyes, he first saw the people lazily sitting on the floor of the hall behind them.
Lying on the mat, looking like she was sitting or sleeping, a troubled little girl hurried forward and saluted respectfully:
"Shidao has met Senior An!"
"Are you here too?"
"This junior thought that the news circulating in the market was false. I never thought that you, Senior An, would actually come to Luoyang!"
Song Shidao was naturally on equal terms with Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, and could even rely on his brother-in-law status to stabilize each other. However, facing a man who was one of the four great masters in the world and whose skills were probably not inferior to his father's...
He really didn't dare to neglect Song Que's little girl, "Heavenly Sword".
"senior……"
"Yuzhi salutes you."
Song Yuzhi did the same. He stepped forward and bowed respectfully to the little girl who was still rolling on the mat when she came in.
After all, she, Song Yuzhi, has now been determined to marry Kou Zhong, and the other party is Kou Zhong's master. She will definitely have to perform the ceremony of junior and disciple, but she does not dare to be as casual as when she was on the Song Dynasty ship.
.
"Oh! I've said it many times!"
(O ^~^ O)
"My surname is not An!"
(?~?)
"Not your seniors either!"
(っ?-?)
Anne waved her hands impatiently, and then rubbed her eyes, not hiding the fact that she had just woken up in the afternoon.
Of course, there is no need to hide it, because she had stayed on Song Clan's ship for a period of time, and some of her good habits, such as sleeping until she wakes up naturally, eating until she has stomach cramps, etc.
These two guys should be impressed, right?
"..."
"..."
However, Song Shidao and Song Yuzhi did not dare to talk to each other casually. They just smiled and stood aside.
"never mind!"
(??′?`?)?
"I won't play with you anymore!"
(lll￢ω￢)
"Really boring!"
(ˉ▽￣~)Cut~~
Seeing this, Annie thought about it for a while, and after seeing that the two people here looked embarrassed and at a loss, she simply curled her lips, stood up on the floor, patted her butt and walked away.
"!
"
"Congratulations, senior!"
While Song Shidao and Song Yuzhi breathed a sigh of relief, they naturally did not dare to say anything. They hurriedly saluted again and watched Annie leave.
"..."
"Brother Kou Zhong!"
"And Brother Ziling!"
"Is everything okay for you?"
"Brother Song!"
"I've met Brother Song!"
"And Miss Yuzhi!"
After Annie left and slammed the wooden door with a bang, and no longer had any scruples or restraints, Song Shidao, Song Yuzhi, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling naturally exchanged greetings and greetings in a familiar manner, and soon parted ways.
The guests and hosts sat on the mats in the hall and started talking.
"Incredible!"
"We haven't seen each other for just a few months. It seems that the skills of the two brothers are getting better and better!"
"How are you doing lately?"
After carefully looking at Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling and seeing that there was nothing wrong with them, Song Shidao asked with a smile.
"Okay!"
"I've just been a little busy lately."
"Our Ssangyong Army just captured Jiujiang some time ago. Before we could deal with Lin Shihong, we had to rush to Luoyang non-stop. We really didn't have a moment to spare!"
Kou Zhong first smiled heartily, and then looked proudly at Song Yuzhi, who was sitting next to Song Shidao with a sideways smile but did not speak to him, and responded in a ostentatious manner.
"It's all that Shifei Xuan's fault!"
"Choosing it at this time will really cause chaos!"
Then, as if he was going to please someone, he did not forget to complain and slander a certain master nun whom he had never met before and who was rumored to be magical by Xu Ziling and others.
"yes!"
"Cihang Jingzhai's move indeed attracted the world's attention to Luoyang in one fell swoop."
"As for the matter in Jiujiang..."
"I've heard about it too, and my father also said that you did a good job. Not only did you catch Lin Shihong off guard, but you also cut off his hand reaching out to the Central Plains. Next, as long as you stabilize the situation along the river, there will be less trouble in the south of the Yangtze River.
It’s a big change.”
After saying this, Song Shidao and Song Yuzhi next to him looked at each other, and then pretended to be concerned and warned and reminded Kou Zhong:
"only……"
"Lin Shihong is deeply involved with the Demon Sect. My father asked me to warn you to be careful and not to be careless?"
Originally, he wanted to tell Koo Zhong to be careful of "Flying Eagle" Qu Ao. After all, the other party and Xu Ziling killed Ren Shaoming together, which created a deadly feud with Qu Ao. There is no doubt that the other party will take revenge.
!
But who would have thought that a few days ago, the menacing "Flying Eagle" Qu Ao, together with hundreds of masters brought from Tiele, were wiped out by their masters with a single blow, so of course he would not be able to do it again today.
It's necessary to pick it up.
"No problem!"
"Lin Shihong is nothing to be afraid of!"
Unfortunately, Kou Zhong waved his hands with a look of disapproval on his face.
"The demons don't dare do anything to me!"
"Don't worry!"
Kou Zhong did not lie, because the saint girl of the Yin Kui sect of the Demon Sect, Huan Huan, has become his unmarried daughter-in-law inexplicably. He, Kou Zhong, and Lin Shihong had a dispute. If nothing else, the Yin Kui sect alone
They will definitely sit back and watch, but the Yinkui faction will not move. Is it possible that the remaining crooked melons and cracked dates dare to touch Kou Zhong?
Besides, he, Kou Zhong, also has a backing. Whoever wants to do something dirty to him is not afraid of being slapped by their master Anne?
certainly!
He did not dare to reveal the relationship between Kou Zhong and the Yin Kui sect at this time, especially in front of Song Shidao and Song Yuzhi.
As for when to say it, he has not decided yet and can only think about it later.
"I hope so..."
"correct!"
"Where is your godmother? How is she doing lately?"
"Do you have any contact?"
"Do you know when she will return to the Central Plains?"
After a pause and looking at his sister again, Song Shidao asked again about something that concerned him most.
It can be seen that even though nearly two years have passed, he has not concealed his undue thoughts about Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling's godmother Fu Junma.
"Well..."
"No contact yet!"
"The main reason is that we don't know how to contact her. Originally, when we came to Luoyang this time, we wanted to ask my aunt Fu Junyu to help deliver a letter when we return."
"But as a result, I haven't encountered it until now."
Regarding this issue, seeing that Kou Zhong seemed a little embarrassed, Xu Ziling on the side had no choice but to take the initiative and speak regretfully.
"How could this happen?"
When he heard that there was still no news about Fu Junma, Song Shidao's originally cheerful expression immediately collapsed. Even some of the equally important things he originally wanted to discuss with Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling were abandoned by him.
The back of my head.
"??"
"Second brother?"
For a long time, seeing that his brother was so sad because of the woman he had only met once, he was not even ready to do anything serious. He had no choice but to call softly, but there was no response. Song Yuzhi sighed in his heart and couldn't help it.
Without any hesitation, he started chatting with Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling and asked:
"Kou Zhong!"
"And Ziling, are you here in Luoyang this time for the Heshi Bi or for the treasure of Duke Yang?"
"Tell me the truth and don't lie to me."
While talking, Song Yuzhi actually took the initiative to use the beauty trap and glanced directly at Kou Zhong with an angry look, which made Kou Zhong's eyes almost straighten.
"Yuzhi!"
"I won't hide it from you. To be honest, whether it is He's Bi or Yang Gong's treasure, we are determined to get it!"
"Right?"
After all, she is his future mother-in-law, and the "He's Bi" is already in his pocket at this time. Unfortunately, the secret of Yang Gong's treasure has been known to them for a long time, so Kou Zhong made no secret of it.
As he spoke, he gestured to Xu Ziling frequently with his eyes.
However, he was not stupid enough to mention the fact that the 'He's Bi' was on both of them at this time, at least he was not ready to say it yet.
"Yes."
"Young Master Zhong is right!"
"Although the 'He Shi Bi' has been snatched away by Shi Zhixuan, I think he should still be in Luoyang, so we still have a chance."
In this way, while Song Shidao was feeling sad, Gao Zhong, Xu Ziling and Song Yuzhi drank tea and talked about each other's past events and the situation in Luoyang City.
Then, while talking, the topic naturally came up again last night about the Jing Nian Temple and the whereabouts of the Heshi Bi. After all, that matter caused a lot of fuss last night, and all kinds of rumors were flying all over the sky early this morning.
The reason why Song Shidao and Song Yuzhi chose to visit at this time obviously had that consideration in mind.
"Anyway!"
"I think that the 'He's Bi' was stolen by Shi Zhixuan!"
"The monks at Jing Nian Monastery have admitted it, so how can it be false?"
Although the 'He's Bi' was just lying in his storage bag, Kou Zhong still categorically framed it like this.
"As far as I know, "Shadow Assassin" Yang Xuyan is a descendant of the Demon Sect's "Bu Tian Dao", while "Sentimental Young Master" Hou Xibai is a descendant of the Demon Sect's "Huajian Sect"!"
"The Huajian Sect is an anomaly among the Demon Sect. It is passed down by a single line. It emphasizes incorporating art into martial arts. The descendants of the past generations are all elegant scholars and young masters, and Hou Xibai is no different!"
"And the "Evil King" Shi Zhixuan is the director of both the "Huajian Sect" and "Butian Dao" in the Demon Sect. This is known to the whole world. Apart from him, who else can control Yang Xuyan and Hou Xibai?
?”
"Or else!"
"Shi Zhixuan has a grudge against Cihang Jingzhai. It has been rumored in the world that Shi Fei Xuan will be 'electing the king' in Luoyang. He must have been eyeing the 'He's Bi'. Besides, he is the only one who has the ability to do it in the air."
The 'He's Bi' was snatched right under the monk's nose!"
"If it had been anyone else, like me and Zi Ling, I would have been pushed to the floor by Monk Lokong and beaten as soon as we stepped up!"
As if he was afraid that Song Shidao and Song Yuzhi in front of him would not believe it, Kou Zhong began to analyze and reason logically, and then, as he spoke, he almost believed it.
"..."
Xu Ziling next to him did not speak, but nodded in agreement. At the same time, he would pick up the tea bowl and sip it carefully from time to time, deliberately not looking at Song Shidao and Song Yuzhi.
"But, isn't this too ostentatious?"
"If he really did what he did, why didn't he choose a more secretive method?"
"Now that Yang Xuyan and Hou Xibai have been exposed, and the fact that he took away He's Bi has become widespread, what good will that do to him?"
"Whether it's Cihang Jingzhai or the top Taoist "Sanren" Ning Daoqi, I'm afraid they won't let him go easily, right?"
Although what Kou Zhong said was very reasonable, and most people in Luoyang City currently said and thought the same thing, Song Yuzhi still shook her head and said that she felt something was not right.
Not to mention anything else, just the two masked men last night who apparently managed to escape successfully but insisted on identifying themselves in front of the four Dharma Protectors of Jing Nian Zen Monastery were full of doubts about them.
Anyway, after thinking about it for a long time, she still couldn't figure out why the two masked men in black had to go there when they were not caught by the monks of Jing Nian Monastery, nor were they shot down.
Are you going to reveal your identity in front of so many pursuers?
Was that kind of behavior unintentional or deliberate?!
"Well……"
"I also think this matter may not be that simple!"
At this time, Song Shidao seemed to have recovered from the Fu Junma incident. Then, after listening to the three people's conversation and being silent for a while, he suddenly opened his mouth and analyzed:
"It was really done too deliberately."
"There is no doubt about the importance of He's Bi. Although Shi Zhixuan has enough motivation to do what he did, he is not a fool no matter what. If he really wants to take away He's Bi, follow his usual behavior,
Presumably, a more cautious and secretive method will be chosen.”
"Moreover, you really shouldn't let your two apprentices reveal their identities after you succeed. That doesn't make sense. It's not like the "evil king"'s historical behavior!"
"I always feel..."
"That's a bit too pretentious. Moreover, Cihang Jingzhai and Jing Nian Monastery took the initiative to spread the news that the 'He's Bi' was stolen. Apart from the fact that it is true and cannot be concealed, perhaps it also has other purposes such as confusing the public.
Where?"
"But what exactly it is, I still don't have a clear idea of ​​what it is."
After finishing speaking and analyzing, Song Shidao smiled, shook his head, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, saying that it was all his own opinion and he did not have any definite evidence.
After all, it is well known that the "Evil King" Shi Zhixuan's mental state has serious problems, but now he suddenly reappeared and brazenly snatched away the 'He's Bi'. Although the process and plan seemed to have a lot of flaws, who knows?
It cannot be denied that the other party has indeed succeeded. The other party has indeed taken away the 'He's Bi' from the heavy protection of Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Chanyuan!
That kind of thing would be beyond the reach of any force in Luoyang City, even the Song clan themselves!
Therefore, if it was really the "Evil King" Shi Zhixuan who did it, and the other party deliberately exposed the identities of the two people after taking He's Bi as a demonstration against Cihang Jingzhai, then it does not seem completely impossible.
?
"..."
"..."
However, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling did not know what Song Shidao was thinking. They just glanced at each other subconsciously after hearing the other's analysis, and then they both saw the fear and uneasiness in their own eyes.
"That……"
"Brother Song, who do you think did it?"
As a last resort, Kou Zhong thought about it and had to bite the bullet and ask anxiously and carefully.
"I have no idea."
"This matter is full of doubts and involves too many people. We need to do more investigations and visits."
"Maybe……"
"We can't find out until the people from Jing Nian Temple or Cihang Jingzhai catch Yang Xuyan and Hou Xibai?"
Song Shidao pondered again for a while, and finally could only answer like this.
He obviously didn't think that anyone could catch "Evil King" Shi Zhixuan and recover He's Bi, so he could only say this and think that no matter who wanted to take advantage of He's Bi, they had and could only get it from there.
The two of them are working together. Only by catching and finding those two people can we have a chance to find the 'He's Bi'.
"Brother Song is right."
"We may really need more information to find out."
"Those two people are the key!"
After hearing Song Shidao's reasonable answer, Xu Ziling quickly nodded in agreement.
“Really the key”
"but……"
"Yu Zhi is afraid that some people are hiding something!"
Suddenly, at this moment, when the four of them were chatting happily, Song Yuzhi suddenly raised his head and said this to Kou Zhong with a smile.
"??"
"!?"
And this sudden move was of course so frightening that Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling almost jumped up.
"correct!"
"Ziling!"
"I heard that this time, the Dongming Sect also came to Luoyang, and among them happened to be the Dongming Princess Shan Wanjing. Have you ever met her?"
Fortunately, before the embarrassed and overwhelmed two people could think of how to answer, Song Shidao took the initiative to change the topic and asked about the Dongming Sect.
"!
"
"Sister Wan Jing has also come to Luoyang?"
"Ha ha!"
"Ziling, let's bring gifts and visit some other time?"
In this way, Kou Zhong, who breathed a sigh of relief, quickly started to divert everyone's attention, and then took advantage of the situation to shift the topic from 'He's Bi' to the Dongming Sect, and did not say a word about Song Yuzhi's abrupt remarks just now.
Make any response.
"of course!"
"I'm definitely going."
"But there is no need for tonight. We can go some other time, when Master is in a better mood."
Xu Ziling had actually known about Dongming's sending to Luoyang for a long time, but they had not found a suitable opportunity to pay a formal visit for the time being.
After all, whether it is the Song Dynasty or Kou Zhong's Shuanglong Army, the next main task is to conquer Jiangnan and determine the situation in Jiangnan in one fell swoop. Since we have to prepare for wars and big battles, the high-quality weapons provided by the Dongming Sect are comparable to that.
The 'He's Bi', which is elusive and easily attracts the enemy's attention, is much more important and practical.
Even though Xu Ziling and Shan Wanjing are engaged now, and even though the two parties are closely connected, since both parties are currently in Luoyang, of course they need to visit and contact each other to take care of each other.
Two hours later...
Before dusk fell, Song Shidao, Song Yuzhi, Kou Zhong, and Xu Ziling finished their conversation and enjoyed a dinner with local Luoyang characteristics with their master Anne, before standing up and saying goodbye with lingering emotions.
"..."
"Second brother!"
"They were cunning and didn't tell the truth!"
"There must be something wrong with this!"
However, what Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling didn't know was that Song Shidao and Song Yuzhi had just walked out of the gate of their villa in Luoyang, and Song Yuzhi, who was originally smiling, instantly turned cold and gritted his teeth with resentment.
Talking.
"oh?"
"What do you mean?"
"It's He's Bi..."
"Is it still a matter of the Yin Kui sect?"
Song Shidao smiled, somewhat noncommittal, and asked softly while walking forward.
"snort!"
"Everything is there!"
Song Yuzhi continued to snort and gritted his teeth. At the same time, those beautiful red and phoenix eyes gradually became a little scary and frightening.
"..."
"OK!"
"Don't panic, Yuzhi, let's just wait and watch the show."
"Let's go!"
"This is not a place to talk. Let's talk after we go back?"
After sighing and shaking his head, he looked at the Luoyang Street where people were coming and going. Song Shidao thought for a while and was not prepared to say too much in a place like this. He just reached out and patted Song Yuzhi's beautiful shoulder, then waved his hand.
, took the group of Song Clan guards who were surrounding them and left unhurriedly.
