The Laity of the Legend of Double Dragons in the Tang Dynasty

Li Zi crossed the iron chain across the river and blocked the waterway, so Xu Ziling and Xiao Shi had to go on land first, and after going ten miles away, they found a person standing on the road ahead, and when they saw them from a distance, they nodded and greeted them.

The man was dressed in white and held a plain color folding fan. Standing there, there was a gentle and elegant air blowing towards his face, the folding fan was shaking slightly, indescribably romantic and suave.After a few swings of the folding fan, the man came within ten steps, even with such a quick and easy light work, it seemed leisurely and elegant when he used it.

"Brother Xu." The man showed a sincere smile on his handsome and flawless face, calling Xu Ziling in his mouth, but looking at Xiao Shi.

Xu Ziling looked at the beard on his lips, remembering that Wuwu once said who had a beard, and asked tentatively, "Hou Xibai?"

The man smiled even stronger: "It's Hou."

But Xiao Shi thought of endless words about Hou Xibai being Shi Zhixuan's apprentice, and looked at him curiously, Hou Xibai was not annoyed, and stood there with a good demeanor for him to see enough.

Xu Ziling smiled and said, "What a coincidence!"

"Unfortunately," Hou Xibai said with a smile, "I'm here specially waiting for you two."

Xu Ziling's smile froze: "I don't know what advice Brother Hou has to offer?"

Hou Xibai glanced at Xiao Shi again, bowed deeply to the two, and said earnestly: "Xibai has an unfeeling request, and I hope you two will fulfill it."

Xu Ziling frowned slightly. Although he was as famous as Hou Xibai and was called one of the most outstanding young masters in the world, he knew that Hou Xibai's martial arts were unfathomable, and he had the reputation of being a romantic who lived among thousands of flowers and never touched his body. Besides, he didn't know anything else, and he didn't feel that they had any intersection. Judging from his expression, what he asked seemed to be related to Xiao Shi.

But Hou Xibai's frank and sincere attitude made him quite fond of it, and he didn't refuse outright: "Brother Hou, please tell me."

"Xibai would like to invite two of you," Hou Xibai hesitated for a moment, "especially... junior brother, go to Bashu."

Xu Ziling asked in surprise, "Little brother?"

Hou Xibai said sternly: "So that Brother Xu will know that the teacher is the evil king Shi Zhixuan, the teacher is also the leader of the two schools of Huajian and Butian, and Xibai is the successor of this generation of Huajian school."

Hou Xibai frankly admitted the identity of the Demon Sect, and he was the apprentice of Shi Zhixuan who had helped him and Kou Zhong, which made Xu Ziling immediately fond of him and at the same time became more vigilant: "The evil king ordered you to come here?"

Hou Xibai shook his head and said, "No one ordered Xibai to come, it was Xibai's own idea."

Xiao Shi interrupted and asked, "How do you know about me? Did he tell you?"

"This is exactly the reason why I came to look for my junior brother. Alas, the master didn't tell me anything. If he knew that I acted without authorization, he would be the first one to let me go." Hou Xibai smiled wryly: "I am in the forest and small valley. Seeing the portrait of little junior brother, alas, Qingxuan lamented at the portrait every day, Xibai's heart was pierced by a knife. Little junior brother, you just follow me, no matter what, Qingxuan is always innocent."

Xu Ziling was taken aback: "Shi Qingxuan?"

Because Xiao Shi's parents really made him sad, they kept avoiding mentioning his family members, but they forgot that apart from those parents, Xiao Shi also had an older sister who was also famous all over the world, Shi Qingxuan.

Xiao Shi subconsciously leaned towards Xu Ziling, Xu Ziling lowered his head, and saw the desire and timidity flickering in those dark eyes.He thought of the sound of Shi Qingxuan's flute that he had heard a year ago, it was so pure and beautiful, and the person who could play that kind of flute sound must be an extremely beautiful person.

He secretly blamed himself for being careless, knowing that Xiao Shi yearned for his family very much, but because of what Shi Zhixuan and his wife did, he blindly avoided, even ignoring his elder sister.

Thinking like this, Xu Ziling couldn't bear to refuse, even if he had doubts, he would have to go through it: "So, brother Laohou will lead the way."

Hou Xibai was overjoyed, bowed deeply, and said, "Thank you for your success."

Xu Ziling hurriedly returned the gift, saying: "Brother Hou, you are serious. We did not think carefully. We should have brought Xiaoshi to visit long ago."

Xiao Shi tugged at Xu Ziling's sleeve: "Isn't Brother Ling still busy?"

Xu Ziling smiled and said: "It's okay, we will go there when we come back. Anyway, the direction is the same, and it won't waste much time."

Hou Xibai said empathetically, "Brother Xu, if you don't worry, you can entrust the younger brother to me to take care of him. I will definitely send him to Youlin Xiaogu safely, and Brother Xu can go there to pick him up."

Xu Ziling shook his head and said: "Brother Hou has a heart, I don't worry about my business." No matter how sincere Hou Xibai was, how well-founded his words were, Xu Ziling would not trust him completely just because of his few words, let alone Entrusted Xiao Shi to him.

Hou Xibai was rejected but he didn't show any embarrassment at all. He smiled and said, "That's right. I think my younger brother would like Ziling to be with me. It will delay Ziling's important affairs. How about we go to Shu by water? The Three Gorges is a [-]-mile waterway, and the water is very windy." When sailing on the boat, the mountains and valleys on both sides seem to rush towards us, and there is even the sound of apes, which is the most magnificent."

The two were tempted by what they told him, and Xu Ziling said: "It's just that the waterway was cut off by Li Zitong, and no passing ships will be let go..."

Hou Xibai smiled and said, "Don't worry, Ziling, there is no one next to Xibai, because he has a lot of money in his pocket, and he has already bought them off. Ha, no matter how strict the government order is, it will always be implemented by the bottom people, so there is very little gold. What can’t be done! Ziling, junior brother, this way please.”

……

In just two days, Liangdu has returned to its former prosperity. There are already thousands of people from the original Pengliang Society, actively maintaining law and order, and becoming Kou Zhong's original foundation.In order to deal with the coming army of the Yuwen Clan, Kou Zhong, the cheap city lord who was driven off the shelves, was recruiting troops while studying hard with Lu Miaozi's military book.But Endless gave everyone a big surprise. Once the internal affairs that made Kou Zhong very anxious were in his hands, they were handled in an orderly manner like a sharp knife. Only then did Kou Zhong realize that this incomprehensible kid was actually a Home affairs genius.Kou Zhong was overjoyed and immediately appointed him as the head of Liangdu, and threw all the internal affairs to him, and became the shopkeeper himself, wholeheartedly recruiting soldiers and buying horses.

The result of recruiting soldiers was surprisingly smooth. Kou Zhong never thought that he had such a high reputation among the people. The hat of beheading the faint king was shining with gold. They came to vote one after another.Although Kou Zhong didn't accept all of them due to the limited supply of food, the quality of the selected ones was not bad.

Over there Kou Zhong was in a good mood, but at the same time he was endlessly depressed.Endless is a lazy person, so he couldn't imagine that he couldn't see Kou Zhong's inefficient working method for a while, and actually caused himself a huge trouble. Heaps of people surrounded him, let's talk about a strike. On the one hand, seeing those things piled up and no one to deal with them, he himself felt that it was an eyesore. On the other hand, he also knew that Kou Zhong's situation was really difficult, so he admitted it.Just waiting for Xu Xingzhi, the military advisor used by Queen Kou Zhong, to come, and he can be honorably laid off.

Of course, when I go back to my residence at night, it is inevitable to quarrel with Kou Zhong, and I dare not fight.

In the study room of the City Lord's Mansion, the lights were on in the middle of the night, and Kou Zhong was pressing Kou Zhong to sign a pile of documents endlessly, but he was in a daze beside him: "Oh, how I regret being deceived by your rhetoric. The mausoleum went to Bashu."

Kou Zhong wrote his name at a fast speed, and said, "How can you call it sweet talk? Is what I said unreasonable?"

"You said that you are the only one here, and there are Ziling and Xiao Shi over there. If you are looking for trouble, you will definitely come back to find you, who is weak. But it has been two full days. What about Wanhou? Where is Wanhou ?”

Kou Zhongdao: "Your logic doesn't make sense. Even when Ziling and I combined couldn't beat her, Houhou wasn't as hardworking as showing up once every two days, okay?"

"Really?" Endless was sullen for a while, and then said: "But I think I overlooked two crucial issues. First, Ziling and Xiaoshi add up to two, and you and I also add up to two." , so it is not weak. Second, Ziling is so handsome, and Wanhou likes Ziling, so the chances of going there are higher."

Kou Zhong retorted without hesitation: "First, it is true that Ziling and Xiao Shi add up to two, but you can only count as half at most, so my side is still weak. Come to kill, okay, do you like to pick and choose who you like to kill?"

Endless was hit by his 'half', held back for a long time without speaking, finally couldn't help it, said: "I don't care, I'm going to find them! In this ghost place, I'm either exhausted or suffocated ! Xiao Shi is not here, nor is Wan Wan!"

"That's good, they should arrive in Hefei in two days, where they can change boats and take the waterway to reach Dongting Lake." Kou Zhong said leisurely: "If you can't catch up in Hefei, then you won't be able to catch up again. However, is your Qinggong faster than Ziling, or faster than Xiaoshi?"

Endless counted with his fingers, and said, "Where is Hefei..."

"Who?!" Kou Zhong yelled violently, and came out through the window.

There is silence outside the window, how can anyone be there?

Endlessly overjoyed: "Wu Wan, is it that Wan Wan is here?"

Kou Zhong said disdainfully: "Wu Hou is so powerful, you don't know until we are with you? At least he is a master of Ning Daoqi's level."

Endless rolled his eyes: "Maybe there is no one at all, you yourself are jittery."

Kou Zhong didn't even glance at him: "It's not clear to someone of your level."

……

"...Hefei."

"Owner?"

"Immediately send a letter to the people in Hefei to inform me of the whereabouts of Xu Ziling and Xiao Shi. Also, find Xibai and order him... No! Kill him on the spot."

"Owner?!"

"Be sure to be crisp, and never let him say a word."

"Yes."

"Prepare the boat, I will go to Dongting Lake for a walk."
