If everything could come back
Chapter 18: The Immortal Seeks Medicine
In a short period of time, Kou Zhong selected talents, appeased the people, and allowed the young generals to gain a firm foothold in Chang'an. His efficiency is simply impressive. Now he is well-known, and everyone in the world probably believes that he is Kou Zhong. Zhong's, just don't know when to become emperor.
"Wu Wan, have you ever heard of Guan Yuzi?"
"I heard about this person in Momen when I was a child. He has excellent medical skills and is one of the best people around the evil king. I heard that he used a set of mental methods in Momen to help the previous generation of evil kings and Shi Zhixuan control the evil emperor Sari very well. He has a demonic nature so that they will not lose themselves, and then for some unknown reason, he suddenly disappeared in the Demon Gate, and there has been no news since then, but the Demon Gate has not pursued this matter." Hou Hou replied, and Kou Zhong asked that she obviously knew about this person. origin.
"So afterward Shi Zhixuan would rather freeze himself to deal with the demon nature than send someone to find him?" Kou Zhong raised his cheek, how could the Demon Sect let someone go so easily?
"How do you know that Shi Zhixuan didn't send anyone to look for him afterwards? Maybe Shi Zhixuan couldn't find him at all, or maybe he died long ago, so Shi Zhixuan had to freeze himself in the end. But why did you suddenly ask this person? "Since when did Kou Zhong care about the past of the Demon Sect?Also ask her alone.
"It is rumored that this Guan Yuzi has a set of formulas for inner strength and heart, ranging from bone meridians to blood internal breath, as long as he practices this heart method, he can adjust his breath and control it. You just said that the thing used to control the demonic nature of the evil emperor's relic should be It is this set of inner strength mentality." Kou Zhong explained, it seems that this mentality is not just a rumor.
"Kou Zhong, don't you want to know this set of mental formulas?" This guy even refuses to let go of things that have been rumored or even disappeared.
"Yes, that's what I want to know! Wanwan, how much do you know about this person?" If there is such a method, the strange blood in Yuzhi's body may be able to be controlled.
"This person has left the magic gate before I can remember. I know very little about him. I heard a lot about him. I once asked the master out of curiosity, but the master never answered my questions about him. I Every time I asked the master, she always ignored me or even wouldn't talk to me for a day, so I never asked again after a few times." After she finished speaking, she paused as if thinking of something to add: "However, Fang Gu, who has been with the master for a long time, mentioned him to me before he died, saying that he might have found the legendary Jingxian Mountain to live in seclusion, but I was still young at the time, and I didn't understand why Fang Gu told me these things. talk."
"So, if this person is still alive, maybe he is in the Jingxian Mountain you mentioned."
"Maybe, but it's such a slim thing...and it's been so long, I probably can't find this person." Wan Wan spread her hands, "Besides, do you know where Jingxian Mountain is?" She patted Kou Zhong lightly, "Even if If you find him, how do you know that this mentality is still there? If he refuses to tell, what can you do?"
"The Jue of Longevity, the Evil Emperor's Relic, and He's Bi can all be met by me, Kou Zhong, and belong to me. I don't believe that Kou Zhong can't get a mere set of inner skills." Kou Zhong looked at Hou Hou like determined.
Xiu Ning came to Kou Zhong with others. This was the first time that Kou Zhong took the initiative to look for her these days. The initial happiness was immediately overshadowed by the ensuing worry and fear. She wanted to see him, but she didn't want to bear bad things. result.
"Kou Zhong, you are looking for me..." She found out that the two of them are so unfamiliar now.
"Xiu Ning has really wronged you during this time." Kou Zhong sat down and picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Xiu Ning, "I know you are bored staying here all the time, but I never thought of restricting your freedom, you You don't have to stay for me, you can go wherever you want."
The hand that took the teacup paused, Xiuning lowered her eyes and took a sip of the tea, then raised her eyes and smiled at Kou Zhong, "Kou Zhong, I never felt that you were restricting me, and there is no grievance in my life." There is no meaning here... I didn't know it early on...
"I know you won't blame me, but I will blame myself." Kou Zhong put his hands on the corner of the table, bowed his head, "I have been busy with the affairs of the young commander these days, and I don't have much time to care about you." He raised his head and met Shang Xiuning's eyes "Now I finally have time. I'm not qualified to let you follow me all the time. You don't need to waste your time for Kou Zhong. Xiuning, you should have the life you want to live." Kou Zhong leaned on his hand The table approached her, "Xiu Ning, have you ever thought about where you are going? It doesn't matter where you go, as long as you tell me, I will prepare a carriage and escort you, and make arrangements for you. From now on, these people can always be by your side Take care of you."
Xiu Ning lowered her eyes and clenched her teacup tightly, "What if I don't want to leave?" How could she, who is smart, not understand the meaning.
"Alright, then stay in Chang'an. I'm afraid the palace won't be able to live there. I'll ask someone to buy you a mansion, and send some people to help you take care of your daily life, so that it will be convenient for Yuzhi to visit you in the future." Kou Zhong Xiaoxiao seemed very satisfied with his plan.
Xiu Ning followed with a smile, "Kou Zhong, actually you don't need me anymore." Seeing Kou Zhong stop, she continued: "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to care about anything when I say this, but to tell you the answer that has been in my heart all the time. .We had a good memory, it was short but brilliant." She held his hand "Do you remember the night we watched fireworks together? That was really my happiest night, we I said that there will be no regrets for each other. I will always remember the relationship we had, and I will also bless you and Yuzhi." Maybe it's time for her to let go.
"Xiu Ning, I am very glad to know you. Without you, I, Kou Zhong, would not be where I am today." He shook her hand back.
"Me too!" Kou Zhong, you are lucky to have met me...not only because of my encouragement to make you achieve what you are today, but also because I let you know Yuzhi...
"Kou Zhong, if I say that I want to go to the second brother, I wonder if you will send someone to escort me there?"
"Xiu Ning, besides looking for Li Shimin, you can go anywhere you want." Kou Zhong let go of Xiu Ning's hand and poured himself another cup of tea.
"Why?" Xiuning looked at Kou Zhong's suddenly serious side face.
"Just because I let Li Tang go doesn't mean that I believe it will retreat and never fight against me again. If you join Li Tang, Li Tang will have no worries. Then when it becomes strong, it will definitely come to my young commander again." Let the army attack." He raised his teacup and poured water down his throat, "I will never allow any loopholes or mistakes." Using Xiuning to contain Li Tang is only a small step, the most important thing is that he sent someone to kill Li Tang, anyone can Do not disturb. "Xiu Ning, I hope you can understand."
"I understand..." Kou Zhong, it turns out that what you said to let me be free is actually not imprisoning me by your side... The Kou Zhong now is really different from before.I can't see you again, but I will never see Li Tang again... Li Xiuning, I never thought you would end up like this in the end.
The two of them didn't speak anymore...
"I want to go to Liangdu." Not long after, Xiuning took the lead to break the deadlock.
Kou Zhong stopped his movements, a little dazed.
"I want to live in Liangdu, didn't you say that I can go anywhere I want?" Xiuning smiled bitterly, she looked at Kou Zhong who was stunned, "I heard that Liangdu has beautiful scenery, but I have never had a chance to see it well. look."
"Okay... I'll help you arrange it." Kou Zhong reluctantly said.
"Thank you."
Liang Du, she was supposed to be the hostess of this city, but now... she has no chance... Kou Zhong, maybe we won't see each other again.
next day
Raising his hand, Kou Zhong knocked lightly on the door a few times, she never looked for him these days, he was the one who came to look for her.
"Kou Zhong..." Yuzhi opened the door and saw Kou Zhong without much surprise, because Mr. Kou Zhong would come to her from time to time, and he could always know her life clearly, including who she met every day , went out several times, and sometimes even knew how many mouthfuls of food she had eaten, so it was conceivable that she was completely under his control.
"I came to tell you that you can finally be liberated." He walked past her into the room naturally, and sat on her bed.
"Liberation?" she followed.
"I mean... I won't have anyone watching you anymore." He looked up.
"Really?" She was dubious, how could it be so easy.
"Well, because you are going to Jingxian Mountain with me, I will personally watch you on the way."
"Jingxian Mountain? Why have I never heard of it? Why do you want to go there suddenly? You don't care about the Young Commander? Why do I want to go together?"
"You have so many questions, which one do you want me to answer first?" Seeing that she didn't speak, he said helplessly: "I have almost made arrangements for Chang'an. I have made an agreement with Ling Shao, and he will look after it for me. As for you , I’m going to Jingxian Mountain with me, so pack your bags tonight, because we’re leaving tomorrow.”
"Wait...wait..." She held up her stop gesture "You mean we're going tomorrow?"
"Yes! Go tomorrow!" He answered her affirmatively.
"What are you going to do in that mountain?" She was puzzled.
"It's Jingxian Mountain. It is said that a senior officer of the Demon Sect, Yuzi, is on this mountain."
"Wait!" She still didn't understand, "Who is Guan Yuzi?"
Sighing, Kou Zhong stroked his forehead, and he knew that the girl must have a lot of questions in a few words, and it seemed that he wanted to say it from beginning to end.
……
……
……
"So, you want him to control the blood in my body?"
"Yes."
"But isn't Jingxian Mountain a legendary place?"
"Although it is a legend, there is always a basis. I know that there is a mountain in Dongnae. People there can sometimes see it, and sometimes they can't see it. Is the mountain an illusion or is it real, for no one can come near to find it."
"But it doesn't mean that the one in Donglai must be Jingxian Mountain."
"The disciples of Cihang Jingzhai all know the legend about the Jingxian Mountain, including Miss Shi, but she only knows that there is a Jingxian Mountain in Donglai, but no disciple can find it. If the mountain in Donglai is not an illusion, it must be Jingxian Xianshan!"
"Since it's a legendary place, it must be hard to find..." Yuzhi looked at Kou Zhong's serious thinking side face, and suddenly she felt a little sore, these things she had never heard of... these things with a long history... these things Maybe things that don't exist now... But Kou Zhong knows clearly and in detail... She knows his intentions very well... Her matter must have made him very headache and anxious... And the majestic Young Master Kou has such a low degree of possibility because of her. Holding on to hope... During this period of time, apart from taking care of the Young Commander, he also had to worry about her continuing to live.
Song Yuzhi, Kou Zhong must be very tired with you!
"It may be difficult for others to find, but for me, Kou Zhong, I will definitely find it!" Kou Zhong looked at Yuzhi sideways with a confident face.
"Yeah, Kou Zhong can definitely find it!" Yuzhi sniffed and walked over to Kou Zhong with a bright smile, "We are leaving tomorrow, so you have to go to bed early tonight, do you know that your complexion is brighter than mine? It's much uglier! I don't want you to set off with panda eyes tomorrow, it will affect my good mood!" She stroked his eyes with her thumbs, trying to sweep away his fatigue, and she admitted that her defenses really collapsed How could she have the heart to stay away from such a man for her.
"Yuzhi..." Kou Zhong immediately took Yuzhi's hand that was caressing.
"What's the matter?" Yuzhi let Kou Zhong hold it indifferently.
"It's nothing... I just think you're still smiling at me." He really hasn't seen this smile for a long time.
"It seems that I was really bad to you before." Yuzhi was helpless but still had a smiling face.
"Then it's not too late for you to be nice to me now." Kou Zhong said seriously.
"Is it okay to smile at you from now on?" she asked.
"Of course...but I... don't just want you to smile at me..." He hugged her towards him with one hand, and she sat on his lap unexpectedly and was embraced by him.
"I want to kiss you... can I..." He leaned closer and asked.
Yuzhi looked at Kou Zhong's face, the two were almost nose to nose, "Just this once..."
The lower part of the lips was already covered, it was more like biting than kissing, Kou Zhong's unforgiving posture... must have made him wait for this kiss for a long time.Yuzhi was so kissed that she was powerless to resist, but she tried her best to cater to Kou Zhong, his kiss made her feel all the pain he had brought for her before...
"Little white rabbit, you can't escape this time! You are mine now, and you must stay by my side forever." He admitted that her kiss made him more greedy.
She laughed "What if I die?"
"I won't let you die." He frowned.
"You are not a god, people will always die." Seeing him staring at herself, she knew he didn't like to hear those words "Okay, okay, I promise you, no matter where I am in the future, my heart will always be It's with you, Kou Zhong! Stop staring, Young Commander Kou!" She teased him.
"...Sure enough, I can't help but you." He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Kou Zhong, at this moment...I really want to be with you forever.
On the day of departure, the cloudy sky before became exceptionally clear, the warm wind was blowing, and the blue sky was as clear as a wash. It really was a good time to travel.Kou Zhong and Yuzhi bid farewell to Ziling and the others, and the two quickly left Chang'an City in a carriage.
Along the way, Yuzhi sat alone in the carriage with nothing to do, so she simply opened the curtain and sat next to Kou Zhong who was driving the carriage.
"Why did you come out?" Kou Zhong continued driving with a long whip in one hand and a rope in the other.
"I'm afraid you'll be bored driving alone, so I come to accompany you." Yu Zhi reasoned quickly.
Kou Zhong smiled and said: "Then I am really thankful." He didn't want to expose this girl.
"Hey! Have you ever thought about what identity we will use when we meet people when we go out this time?"
"What identity?" Kou Zhong was still concentrating on driving.
"Ah, it's just that you are the majestic Kou Dajun now, who else doesn't know you, so should we change our identities and keep a low profile." Yuzhi gave Kou Zhong a supercilious look, but he didn't understand.
"Well, that's it." Kou Zhong continued to drive.
"Then what should we change to?" Yuzhi was very excited about this.
"It's fine if you think about it."
"Why do you want me to think alone!" Yuzhi was very dissatisfied with Kou Zhong's casual attitude, her interest was half extinguished by him.
"Anyway, you were pretty good at speaking for me in the Liu residence before?" Kou Zhong snickered.
"Damn Kou Zhong! You want to take this opportunity to laugh at me again, don't you!" Well, it turned out that he had planned it long ago.
"Don't dare!" Kou Zhong immediately accepted the offer, "I just think that the identity you made up for me in the Liu Mansion that time, Miss Song, is good, and we can continue to use it."
"Of course, of course I think well!" Yuzhi knew that Kou Zhong was deliberately teasing her, so she didn't take it seriously, she tilted her head and smiled to prevent Kou Zhong from seeing, it's so good now...God, just let me be greedy once...
Kou Zhong found an inn in a nearby town before nightfall, and planned to stay here with Yuzhi for one night, and set off early tomorrow morning.But I didn't expect that the business of this inn was surprisingly good today. When the two arrived, there was only the last room left, and they could only sleep in the wilderness on the road. There was only this inn in this small town. Take this last one.The innkeeper also said that it’s okay for two brothers and sisters to share a room for one night, but how could Kou Zhongyuzhi treat each other as brothers and sisters? It’s really helpless that the relationship between the two is only known to him...
"I'll sleep on your bed tonight." Kou Zhong asked Xiao Er to get him more quilts before he entered the door, he had already planned to make a bed on the floor.
"But the floor is so hard and so cold." Although a man should sleep on the floor in this situation, Yuzhi still couldn't bear Kou Zhong to sleep on the floor all night after driving the carriage all day.
"It doesn't matter, I have magical body protection, these are nothing. I used to sleep on the ground when Ling Shao and I were wandering." Kou Zhong didn't care, he dragged the quilt to the ground and spread it out.
Yuzhi didn't feel very good when she heard it, she walked to Kou Zhong and knelt down, "Why don't I sleep on the floor tonight! Anyway, I haven't slept before, so I want to try what it feels like to sleep on the floor."
"Haven't you had enough sleep on the ground of the ruined temple in Yangzhou?" Kou Zhong smiled, and his hands of spreading the quilt still didn't stop.
"Then... the feeling of laying straw on the bottom is different from... the feeling of laying a quilt on the bottom..." It turned out that Kou Zhong remembered her things so clearly...
"Okay, tonight...you sleep on the bed." Kou Zhong stopped what he was doing and pulled Yuzhi to the side of the bed to let her sit down "I promised Senior Song to take good care of you, if I can't take care of you , His Heavenly Knife will not show mercy to me! Besides, how can a big man let a woman sleep on the floor, if it spreads, it won’t ruin my name, Kou Zhong!”
"In order not to ruin your fame...well then!" Kou Zhong really yielded everything to her now, obviously he was kind to her, but he still had to think of a reason.
"Thank you so much, Miss Song." Kou Zhong continued to spread his quilt.
Yuzhi looked at Kou Zhong in front of him, feeling very warm in his heart.
In the middle of the night, Yuzhi was lying on her side on the bed but couldn't fall asleep. She could clearly feel the blood flow in her body, which seemed to remind her that her life had an end.There is also this unhealed and cut open scar on the hand, even if it is withdrawn, it will leave a faint mark...
What's more, she still has...a fate that cannot be escaped.
Opening her eyes, she turned to the other side, the lights had already been turned off, and she could only see Kou Zhong's vague outline lying there.She got up gently, put on her shoes and got out of bed, for fear of waking up the person in front of her.She squatted down with her arms around her arms and quietly looked at Kou Zhong in front of her. With a straight nose, dark skin and sharp eyebrows, a big man has such long eyelashes!He's...really handsome...it's really impossible not to be tempted.I should be happy to be liked by such a man...
However, they cannot coexist...
"Why aren't you sleeping?" Kou Zhong said with his eyes closed.
Yuzhi was taken aback by the person who spoke suddenly below, and her thoughts were completely interrupted, "Are you still asleep?"
"I've been awake since you got up and got out of bed." Kou Zhong opened his eyes and sat up.
"Then why are you pretending to be asleep!" Yuzhi patted herself to calm down.
"I didn't know that you wanted to peek at me when you got up." Kou Zhong looked at the angry Yu Zhi and smiled.
"Who...peeked at you!" Yu Zhi blushed, but unfortunately the room was too dark for Kou Zhong to see.
"Then why are you squatting next to me without saying a word?" The girl still didn't admit it.
"I...I was afraid that you didn't cover the quilt properly...so come and see! After all...you let me sleep on the bed..." Yuzhi explained.
"But I didn't see you covering me with a quilt?"
"You have your eyes closed...Of course you can't see..." She dared to say this reason...
"Really." Kou Zhong held back a laugh.
"Stop talking...I'm going back to sleep!" She stood up with her hands on her legs and turned her head away from him. As soon as she turned around, she felt that she had tripped over something, and her body fell forward uncontrollably.Seeing this, Kou Zhong hurriedly grabbed her arm and let her fall into his arms to prevent Yuzhi from falling.
"Are you all right? Is it okay?" Kou Zhong asked carefully while holding Yuzhi in both hands.
Yuzhi looked at herself sitting in Kou Zhong's arms, both of them were only wearing a thin layer of shirts, she could clearly feel the warmth of Kou Zhong's arms around her, as well as the temperature of the quilt underneath, thinking of the current predicament she really felt I wanted to find a hole to drill down...but fortunately it's pitch black and I can't see clearly.
"Why don't you talk? Is it hurt from the fall?" Kou Zhong was a little worried.
"No! I'm fine!" Yu Zhi moved Kou Zhong's hand away and left his embrace.
"Are you really okay?" Kou Zhong asked again, why is this girl so panicked?
"It's okay... I'm really going to sleep!" She got up and quickly touched the bed and lay down on the bed with her back facing Kou Zhong, and put her hands on her hot face, oh my god!It was really embarrassing just now!Song Yuzhi!What the hell are you thinking!
Early the next morning, Yuzhi looked at Kou Zhong, who was enjoying breakfast opposite her, and unconsciously thought of the scene of the two of them sticking together through their shirts last night, and suddenly felt ashamed, her face was really green and red, thinking about what she was doing. so useless...
Kou Zhong looked at Yuzhi's rich expression and didn't know why, what the little white rabbit was doing, and at the same time worried that she was uncomfortable somewhere, "Yuzhi, why are you just eating steamed buns? Is it uncomfortable?"
"Ah? No... let's go on the road after eating." Ah, last night was nothing, Kou Zhong didn't take it seriously, why do I always think so unhealthy when I'm here...
On the way, Yuzhi sat in the carriage and opened the curtain to look at the scenery outside the window. She didn't want to talk to Kou Zhong anymore, for fear that this scene would be in her mind again when she saw him... Do you want to have something to happen to him so much? ...quickly stop such silly thoughts!This is not what she should be thinking now!
"Yuzhi, we should be able to reach Jingzhou in Shenshi." Kou Zhong, who was driving, shouted into the car.
"So fast?!" Today, there is no need to take such a long carriage.
"So we have two options now. One is to go to Jingzhou during Shenshi, we will do some shopping in the town for the future journey, and then find an inn to rest and start tomorrow morning; the other is to go directly to Shuxi through Jingzhou day and night, so that We can get there in the middle of the night, but we may have to find a ruined temple or something to rest our feet." Kou Zhong explained, Yu Zhi knew that he wanted to travel day and night to Donglai quickly to find a way to control her blood.
"Then why don't we go directly to the west of Sichuan." Yuzhi replied to Kou Zhong. The existence of alien blood threatens him for a day, and he can't let go of the big stone in his heart. Now she has become the biggest burden in Kou Zhong's heart... making him uncomfortable for a day.
"Yuzhi, are you sure? Are you accepting the rush?" Kou Zhong never thought that Yuzhi would choose to go directly to Shuxi.
"Don't underestimate me, okay! I used to be the one who fought with you!" Yuzhi finally couldn't sit still in the carriage. The burden, no matter what the result is, she must find a way to make him stop worrying about herself.
"It's not that I underestimate you, it's just that you are a girl anyway." Kou Zhong explained.
"I'm a girl...I didn't see you letting me go before..." Yuzhi whispered deliberately.
"It used to be before, but now it's different."
"Why is it different?" Yu Zhi looked at Kou Zhong interestingly, wanting to see what Kou Zhong could answer.
"We used to be brothers, but now..." Kou Zhong looked at Yuzhi and smiled and continued driving, "You are my woman."
"Hey!" Yuzhi slapped Kou Zhong angrily, "Damn Kou Zhong! What nonsense are you talking about..." She panicked.
"I'm not talking nonsense, it will be soon if not now." Kou Zhong didn't care, he had already decided that Yuzhi would not only be his woman in the future, but also the queen of Tang Dynasty!
"So that's how you treat your brother? That young master Ling is so miserable!" She hurriedly changed the topic to prevent Kou Zhong from getting too deep... This topic can never be touched between them, no matter how greedy she is, she I don't have this qualification either... The current Kou Zhong deserves a better woman than her.
"Young Master Ling used to be quite miserable." Kou Zhong smiled, thinking of Ziling who was always teased by him in the past.He knew that Yuzhi was deliberately avoiding his words, he was not in a hurry to force her, everything would wait until he found that set of minds!He must restore Yuzhi to its original state!
"Have you figured it out? Are you really going directly to the west of Sichuan? In this way, we will have to travel for nearly ten hours. Are you really not afraid of being tired?" Kou Zhong asked Yuzhi again if he was sure.
"Well, of course go directly to Shuxi, otherwise, how long will it take to reach Donglai if you drag on like this." Yuzhi affirmed.
"That's good." Kou Zhong smiled and raised his horsewhip, "In order for us to get to the west of Sichuan sooner, you can sit still, little white rabbit. I, Kou Zhong, won't wait for you." He lashed hard at the horse's buttocks With a whip, the horse ran even harder in pain.
The author has something to say: Congratulations everyone, the zongzi finally kept the clouds and saw the moon, and Yuzhi was finally moved by the zongzi! ! !Originally, she was so determined to break with Kou Zhong, she tried various ways to keep Kou Zhong away from her, but it still couldn't beat our Zongzi's strong strategy!Hahahaha, everyone, don't think Yuzhi is hypocritical, think about it, a man abandons his dignity to you over and over again, and you continue to hurt him again and again, your heart is hard enough, but he still Just don't believe in evil!Who was Kou Zhong before? To Li Xiuning, whom he liked, even if the two had a quarrel because of a misunderstanding, he still refused to bow his head.In the TV series, his patience is undoubtedly shown, you know →_→, only Yuzhi makes him abandon his dignity again and again.This article is even worse, although Yuzhi has a reason to do this~ hahaha~~ She hurts Kou Zhong every time, and she is very big and does not give him a chance to understand, but what about Kou Zhong ?To please her when she made trouble for no reason; to follow her sternly when she drove him away; her words made him vomit blood in anger, and in the end he was still only for her, the Kou Zhong who was not at all humbled by her back then was completely purified , Do you think she can not be moved?Just touched the world!
"Wu Wan, have you ever heard of Guan Yuzi?"
"I heard about this person in Momen when I was a child. He has excellent medical skills and is one of the best people around the evil king. I heard that he used a set of mental methods in Momen to help the previous generation of evil kings and Shi Zhixuan control the evil emperor Sari very well. He has a demonic nature so that they will not lose themselves, and then for some unknown reason, he suddenly disappeared in the Demon Gate, and there has been no news since then, but the Demon Gate has not pursued this matter." Hou Hou replied, and Kou Zhong asked that she obviously knew about this person. origin.
"So afterward Shi Zhixuan would rather freeze himself to deal with the demon nature than send someone to find him?" Kou Zhong raised his cheek, how could the Demon Sect let someone go so easily?
"How do you know that Shi Zhixuan didn't send anyone to look for him afterwards? Maybe Shi Zhixuan couldn't find him at all, or maybe he died long ago, so Shi Zhixuan had to freeze himself in the end. But why did you suddenly ask this person? "Since when did Kou Zhong care about the past of the Demon Sect?Also ask her alone.
"It is rumored that this Guan Yuzi has a set of formulas for inner strength and heart, ranging from bone meridians to blood internal breath, as long as he practices this heart method, he can adjust his breath and control it. You just said that the thing used to control the demonic nature of the evil emperor's relic should be It is this set of inner strength mentality." Kou Zhong explained, it seems that this mentality is not just a rumor.
"Kou Zhong, don't you want to know this set of mental formulas?" This guy even refuses to let go of things that have been rumored or even disappeared.
"Yes, that's what I want to know! Wanwan, how much do you know about this person?" If there is such a method, the strange blood in Yuzhi's body may be able to be controlled.
"This person has left the magic gate before I can remember. I know very little about him. I heard a lot about him. I once asked the master out of curiosity, but the master never answered my questions about him. I Every time I asked the master, she always ignored me or even wouldn't talk to me for a day, so I never asked again after a few times." After she finished speaking, she paused as if thinking of something to add: "However, Fang Gu, who has been with the master for a long time, mentioned him to me before he died, saying that he might have found the legendary Jingxian Mountain to live in seclusion, but I was still young at the time, and I didn't understand why Fang Gu told me these things. talk."
"So, if this person is still alive, maybe he is in the Jingxian Mountain you mentioned."
"Maybe, but it's such a slim thing...and it's been so long, I probably can't find this person." Wan Wan spread her hands, "Besides, do you know where Jingxian Mountain is?" She patted Kou Zhong lightly, "Even if If you find him, how do you know that this mentality is still there? If he refuses to tell, what can you do?"
"The Jue of Longevity, the Evil Emperor's Relic, and He's Bi can all be met by me, Kou Zhong, and belong to me. I don't believe that Kou Zhong can't get a mere set of inner skills." Kou Zhong looked at Hou Hou like determined.
Xiu Ning came to Kou Zhong with others. This was the first time that Kou Zhong took the initiative to look for her these days. The initial happiness was immediately overshadowed by the ensuing worry and fear. She wanted to see him, but she didn't want to bear bad things. result.
"Kou Zhong, you are looking for me..." She found out that the two of them are so unfamiliar now.
"Xiu Ning has really wronged you during this time." Kou Zhong sat down and picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Xiu Ning, "I know you are bored staying here all the time, but I never thought of restricting your freedom, you You don't have to stay for me, you can go wherever you want."
The hand that took the teacup paused, Xiuning lowered her eyes and took a sip of the tea, then raised her eyes and smiled at Kou Zhong, "Kou Zhong, I never felt that you were restricting me, and there is no grievance in my life." There is no meaning here... I didn't know it early on...
"I know you won't blame me, but I will blame myself." Kou Zhong put his hands on the corner of the table, bowed his head, "I have been busy with the affairs of the young commander these days, and I don't have much time to care about you." He raised his head and met Shang Xiuning's eyes "Now I finally have time. I'm not qualified to let you follow me all the time. You don't need to waste your time for Kou Zhong. Xiuning, you should have the life you want to live." Kou Zhong leaned on his hand The table approached her, "Xiu Ning, have you ever thought about where you are going? It doesn't matter where you go, as long as you tell me, I will prepare a carriage and escort you, and make arrangements for you. From now on, these people can always be by your side Take care of you."
Xiu Ning lowered her eyes and clenched her teacup tightly, "What if I don't want to leave?" How could she, who is smart, not understand the meaning.
"Alright, then stay in Chang'an. I'm afraid the palace won't be able to live there. I'll ask someone to buy you a mansion, and send some people to help you take care of your daily life, so that it will be convenient for Yuzhi to visit you in the future." Kou Zhong Xiaoxiao seemed very satisfied with his plan.
Xiu Ning followed with a smile, "Kou Zhong, actually you don't need me anymore." Seeing Kou Zhong stop, she continued: "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to care about anything when I say this, but to tell you the answer that has been in my heart all the time. .We had a good memory, it was short but brilliant." She held his hand "Do you remember the night we watched fireworks together? That was really my happiest night, we I said that there will be no regrets for each other. I will always remember the relationship we had, and I will also bless you and Yuzhi." Maybe it's time for her to let go.
"Xiu Ning, I am very glad to know you. Without you, I, Kou Zhong, would not be where I am today." He shook her hand back.
"Me too!" Kou Zhong, you are lucky to have met me...not only because of my encouragement to make you achieve what you are today, but also because I let you know Yuzhi...
"Kou Zhong, if I say that I want to go to the second brother, I wonder if you will send someone to escort me there?"
"Xiu Ning, besides looking for Li Shimin, you can go anywhere you want." Kou Zhong let go of Xiu Ning's hand and poured himself another cup of tea.
"Why?" Xiuning looked at Kou Zhong's suddenly serious side face.
"Just because I let Li Tang go doesn't mean that I believe it will retreat and never fight against me again. If you join Li Tang, Li Tang will have no worries. Then when it becomes strong, it will definitely come to my young commander again." Let the army attack." He raised his teacup and poured water down his throat, "I will never allow any loopholes or mistakes." Using Xiuning to contain Li Tang is only a small step, the most important thing is that he sent someone to kill Li Tang, anyone can Do not disturb. "Xiu Ning, I hope you can understand."
"I understand..." Kou Zhong, it turns out that what you said to let me be free is actually not imprisoning me by your side... The Kou Zhong now is really different from before.I can't see you again, but I will never see Li Tang again... Li Xiuning, I never thought you would end up like this in the end.
The two of them didn't speak anymore...
"I want to go to Liangdu." Not long after, Xiuning took the lead to break the deadlock.
Kou Zhong stopped his movements, a little dazed.
"I want to live in Liangdu, didn't you say that I can go anywhere I want?" Xiuning smiled bitterly, she looked at Kou Zhong who was stunned, "I heard that Liangdu has beautiful scenery, but I have never had a chance to see it well. look."
"Okay... I'll help you arrange it." Kou Zhong reluctantly said.
"Thank you."
Liang Du, she was supposed to be the hostess of this city, but now... she has no chance... Kou Zhong, maybe we won't see each other again.
next day
Raising his hand, Kou Zhong knocked lightly on the door a few times, she never looked for him these days, he was the one who came to look for her.
"Kou Zhong..." Yuzhi opened the door and saw Kou Zhong without much surprise, because Mr. Kou Zhong would come to her from time to time, and he could always know her life clearly, including who she met every day , went out several times, and sometimes even knew how many mouthfuls of food she had eaten, so it was conceivable that she was completely under his control.
"I came to tell you that you can finally be liberated." He walked past her into the room naturally, and sat on her bed.
"Liberation?" she followed.
"I mean... I won't have anyone watching you anymore." He looked up.
"Really?" She was dubious, how could it be so easy.
"Well, because you are going to Jingxian Mountain with me, I will personally watch you on the way."
"Jingxian Mountain? Why have I never heard of it? Why do you want to go there suddenly? You don't care about the Young Commander? Why do I want to go together?"
"You have so many questions, which one do you want me to answer first?" Seeing that she didn't speak, he said helplessly: "I have almost made arrangements for Chang'an. I have made an agreement with Ling Shao, and he will look after it for me. As for you , I’m going to Jingxian Mountain with me, so pack your bags tonight, because we’re leaving tomorrow.”
"Wait...wait..." She held up her stop gesture "You mean we're going tomorrow?"
"Yes! Go tomorrow!" He answered her affirmatively.
"What are you going to do in that mountain?" She was puzzled.
"It's Jingxian Mountain. It is said that a senior officer of the Demon Sect, Yuzi, is on this mountain."
"Wait!" She still didn't understand, "Who is Guan Yuzi?"
Sighing, Kou Zhong stroked his forehead, and he knew that the girl must have a lot of questions in a few words, and it seemed that he wanted to say it from beginning to end.
……
……
……
"So, you want him to control the blood in my body?"
"Yes."
"But isn't Jingxian Mountain a legendary place?"
"Although it is a legend, there is always a basis. I know that there is a mountain in Dongnae. People there can sometimes see it, and sometimes they can't see it. Is the mountain an illusion or is it real, for no one can come near to find it."
"But it doesn't mean that the one in Donglai must be Jingxian Mountain."
"The disciples of Cihang Jingzhai all know the legend about the Jingxian Mountain, including Miss Shi, but she only knows that there is a Jingxian Mountain in Donglai, but no disciple can find it. If the mountain in Donglai is not an illusion, it must be Jingxian Xianshan!"
"Since it's a legendary place, it must be hard to find..." Yuzhi looked at Kou Zhong's serious thinking side face, and suddenly she felt a little sore, these things she had never heard of... these things with a long history... these things Maybe things that don't exist now... But Kou Zhong knows clearly and in detail... She knows his intentions very well... Her matter must have made him very headache and anxious... And the majestic Young Master Kou has such a low degree of possibility because of her. Holding on to hope... During this period of time, apart from taking care of the Young Commander, he also had to worry about her continuing to live.
Song Yuzhi, Kou Zhong must be very tired with you!
"It may be difficult for others to find, but for me, Kou Zhong, I will definitely find it!" Kou Zhong looked at Yuzhi sideways with a confident face.
"Yeah, Kou Zhong can definitely find it!" Yuzhi sniffed and walked over to Kou Zhong with a bright smile, "We are leaving tomorrow, so you have to go to bed early tonight, do you know that your complexion is brighter than mine? It's much uglier! I don't want you to set off with panda eyes tomorrow, it will affect my good mood!" She stroked his eyes with her thumbs, trying to sweep away his fatigue, and she admitted that her defenses really collapsed How could she have the heart to stay away from such a man for her.
"Yuzhi..." Kou Zhong immediately took Yuzhi's hand that was caressing.
"What's the matter?" Yuzhi let Kou Zhong hold it indifferently.
"It's nothing... I just think you're still smiling at me." He really hasn't seen this smile for a long time.
"It seems that I was really bad to you before." Yuzhi was helpless but still had a smiling face.
"Then it's not too late for you to be nice to me now." Kou Zhong said seriously.
"Is it okay to smile at you from now on?" she asked.
"Of course...but I... don't just want you to smile at me..." He hugged her towards him with one hand, and she sat on his lap unexpectedly and was embraced by him.
"I want to kiss you... can I..." He leaned closer and asked.
Yuzhi looked at Kou Zhong's face, the two were almost nose to nose, "Just this once..."
The lower part of the lips was already covered, it was more like biting than kissing, Kou Zhong's unforgiving posture... must have made him wait for this kiss for a long time.Yuzhi was so kissed that she was powerless to resist, but she tried her best to cater to Kou Zhong, his kiss made her feel all the pain he had brought for her before...
"Little white rabbit, you can't escape this time! You are mine now, and you must stay by my side forever." He admitted that her kiss made him more greedy.
She laughed "What if I die?"
"I won't let you die." He frowned.
"You are not a god, people will always die." Seeing him staring at herself, she knew he didn't like to hear those words "Okay, okay, I promise you, no matter where I am in the future, my heart will always be It's with you, Kou Zhong! Stop staring, Young Commander Kou!" She teased him.
"...Sure enough, I can't help but you." He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Kou Zhong, at this moment...I really want to be with you forever.
On the day of departure, the cloudy sky before became exceptionally clear, the warm wind was blowing, and the blue sky was as clear as a wash. It really was a good time to travel.Kou Zhong and Yuzhi bid farewell to Ziling and the others, and the two quickly left Chang'an City in a carriage.
Along the way, Yuzhi sat alone in the carriage with nothing to do, so she simply opened the curtain and sat next to Kou Zhong who was driving the carriage.
"Why did you come out?" Kou Zhong continued driving with a long whip in one hand and a rope in the other.
"I'm afraid you'll be bored driving alone, so I come to accompany you." Yu Zhi reasoned quickly.
Kou Zhong smiled and said: "Then I am really thankful." He didn't want to expose this girl.
"Hey! Have you ever thought about what identity we will use when we meet people when we go out this time?"
"What identity?" Kou Zhong was still concentrating on driving.
"Ah, it's just that you are the majestic Kou Dajun now, who else doesn't know you, so should we change our identities and keep a low profile." Yuzhi gave Kou Zhong a supercilious look, but he didn't understand.
"Well, that's it." Kou Zhong continued to drive.
"Then what should we change to?" Yuzhi was very excited about this.
"It's fine if you think about it."
"Why do you want me to think alone!" Yuzhi was very dissatisfied with Kou Zhong's casual attitude, her interest was half extinguished by him.
"Anyway, you were pretty good at speaking for me in the Liu residence before?" Kou Zhong snickered.
"Damn Kou Zhong! You want to take this opportunity to laugh at me again, don't you!" Well, it turned out that he had planned it long ago.
"Don't dare!" Kou Zhong immediately accepted the offer, "I just think that the identity you made up for me in the Liu Mansion that time, Miss Song, is good, and we can continue to use it."
"Of course, of course I think well!" Yuzhi knew that Kou Zhong was deliberately teasing her, so she didn't take it seriously, she tilted her head and smiled to prevent Kou Zhong from seeing, it's so good now...God, just let me be greedy once...
Kou Zhong found an inn in a nearby town before nightfall, and planned to stay here with Yuzhi for one night, and set off early tomorrow morning.But I didn't expect that the business of this inn was surprisingly good today. When the two arrived, there was only the last room left, and they could only sleep in the wilderness on the road. There was only this inn in this small town. Take this last one.The innkeeper also said that it’s okay for two brothers and sisters to share a room for one night, but how could Kou Zhongyuzhi treat each other as brothers and sisters? It’s really helpless that the relationship between the two is only known to him...
"I'll sleep on your bed tonight." Kou Zhong asked Xiao Er to get him more quilts before he entered the door, he had already planned to make a bed on the floor.
"But the floor is so hard and so cold." Although a man should sleep on the floor in this situation, Yuzhi still couldn't bear Kou Zhong to sleep on the floor all night after driving the carriage all day.
"It doesn't matter, I have magical body protection, these are nothing. I used to sleep on the ground when Ling Shao and I were wandering." Kou Zhong didn't care, he dragged the quilt to the ground and spread it out.
Yuzhi didn't feel very good when she heard it, she walked to Kou Zhong and knelt down, "Why don't I sleep on the floor tonight! Anyway, I haven't slept before, so I want to try what it feels like to sleep on the floor."
"Haven't you had enough sleep on the ground of the ruined temple in Yangzhou?" Kou Zhong smiled, and his hands of spreading the quilt still didn't stop.
"Then... the feeling of laying straw on the bottom is different from... the feeling of laying a quilt on the bottom..." It turned out that Kou Zhong remembered her things so clearly...
"Okay, tonight...you sleep on the bed." Kou Zhong stopped what he was doing and pulled Yuzhi to the side of the bed to let her sit down "I promised Senior Song to take good care of you, if I can't take care of you , His Heavenly Knife will not show mercy to me! Besides, how can a big man let a woman sleep on the floor, if it spreads, it won’t ruin my name, Kou Zhong!”
"In order not to ruin your fame...well then!" Kou Zhong really yielded everything to her now, obviously he was kind to her, but he still had to think of a reason.
"Thank you so much, Miss Song." Kou Zhong continued to spread his quilt.
Yuzhi looked at Kou Zhong in front of him, feeling very warm in his heart.
In the middle of the night, Yuzhi was lying on her side on the bed but couldn't fall asleep. She could clearly feel the blood flow in her body, which seemed to remind her that her life had an end.There is also this unhealed and cut open scar on the hand, even if it is withdrawn, it will leave a faint mark...
What's more, she still has...a fate that cannot be escaped.
Opening her eyes, she turned to the other side, the lights had already been turned off, and she could only see Kou Zhong's vague outline lying there.She got up gently, put on her shoes and got out of bed, for fear of waking up the person in front of her.She squatted down with her arms around her arms and quietly looked at Kou Zhong in front of her. With a straight nose, dark skin and sharp eyebrows, a big man has such long eyelashes!He's...really handsome...it's really impossible not to be tempted.I should be happy to be liked by such a man...
However, they cannot coexist...
"Why aren't you sleeping?" Kou Zhong said with his eyes closed.
Yuzhi was taken aback by the person who spoke suddenly below, and her thoughts were completely interrupted, "Are you still asleep?"
"I've been awake since you got up and got out of bed." Kou Zhong opened his eyes and sat up.
"Then why are you pretending to be asleep!" Yuzhi patted herself to calm down.
"I didn't know that you wanted to peek at me when you got up." Kou Zhong looked at the angry Yu Zhi and smiled.
"Who...peeked at you!" Yu Zhi blushed, but unfortunately the room was too dark for Kou Zhong to see.
"Then why are you squatting next to me without saying a word?" The girl still didn't admit it.
"I...I was afraid that you didn't cover the quilt properly...so come and see! After all...you let me sleep on the bed..." Yuzhi explained.
"But I didn't see you covering me with a quilt?"
"You have your eyes closed...Of course you can't see..." She dared to say this reason...
"Really." Kou Zhong held back a laugh.
"Stop talking...I'm going back to sleep!" She stood up with her hands on her legs and turned her head away from him. As soon as she turned around, she felt that she had tripped over something, and her body fell forward uncontrollably.Seeing this, Kou Zhong hurriedly grabbed her arm and let her fall into his arms to prevent Yuzhi from falling.
"Are you all right? Is it okay?" Kou Zhong asked carefully while holding Yuzhi in both hands.
Yuzhi looked at herself sitting in Kou Zhong's arms, both of them were only wearing a thin layer of shirts, she could clearly feel the warmth of Kou Zhong's arms around her, as well as the temperature of the quilt underneath, thinking of the current predicament she really felt I wanted to find a hole to drill down...but fortunately it's pitch black and I can't see clearly.
"Why don't you talk? Is it hurt from the fall?" Kou Zhong was a little worried.
"No! I'm fine!" Yu Zhi moved Kou Zhong's hand away and left his embrace.
"Are you really okay?" Kou Zhong asked again, why is this girl so panicked?
"It's okay... I'm really going to sleep!" She got up and quickly touched the bed and lay down on the bed with her back facing Kou Zhong, and put her hands on her hot face, oh my god!It was really embarrassing just now!Song Yuzhi!What the hell are you thinking!
Early the next morning, Yuzhi looked at Kou Zhong, who was enjoying breakfast opposite her, and unconsciously thought of the scene of the two of them sticking together through their shirts last night, and suddenly felt ashamed, her face was really green and red, thinking about what she was doing. so useless...
Kou Zhong looked at Yuzhi's rich expression and didn't know why, what the little white rabbit was doing, and at the same time worried that she was uncomfortable somewhere, "Yuzhi, why are you just eating steamed buns? Is it uncomfortable?"
"Ah? No... let's go on the road after eating." Ah, last night was nothing, Kou Zhong didn't take it seriously, why do I always think so unhealthy when I'm here...
On the way, Yuzhi sat in the carriage and opened the curtain to look at the scenery outside the window. She didn't want to talk to Kou Zhong anymore, for fear that this scene would be in her mind again when she saw him... Do you want to have something to happen to him so much? ...quickly stop such silly thoughts!This is not what she should be thinking now!
"Yuzhi, we should be able to reach Jingzhou in Shenshi." Kou Zhong, who was driving, shouted into the car.
"So fast?!" Today, there is no need to take such a long carriage.
"So we have two options now. One is to go to Jingzhou during Shenshi, we will do some shopping in the town for the future journey, and then find an inn to rest and start tomorrow morning; the other is to go directly to Shuxi through Jingzhou day and night, so that We can get there in the middle of the night, but we may have to find a ruined temple or something to rest our feet." Kou Zhong explained, Yu Zhi knew that he wanted to travel day and night to Donglai quickly to find a way to control her blood.
"Then why don't we go directly to the west of Sichuan." Yuzhi replied to Kou Zhong. The existence of alien blood threatens him for a day, and he can't let go of the big stone in his heart. Now she has become the biggest burden in Kou Zhong's heart... making him uncomfortable for a day.
"Yuzhi, are you sure? Are you accepting the rush?" Kou Zhong never thought that Yuzhi would choose to go directly to Shuxi.
"Don't underestimate me, okay! I used to be the one who fought with you!" Yuzhi finally couldn't sit still in the carriage. The burden, no matter what the result is, she must find a way to make him stop worrying about herself.
"It's not that I underestimate you, it's just that you are a girl anyway." Kou Zhong explained.
"I'm a girl...I didn't see you letting me go before..." Yuzhi whispered deliberately.
"It used to be before, but now it's different."
"Why is it different?" Yu Zhi looked at Kou Zhong interestingly, wanting to see what Kou Zhong could answer.
"We used to be brothers, but now..." Kou Zhong looked at Yuzhi and smiled and continued driving, "You are my woman."
"Hey!" Yuzhi slapped Kou Zhong angrily, "Damn Kou Zhong! What nonsense are you talking about..." She panicked.
"I'm not talking nonsense, it will be soon if not now." Kou Zhong didn't care, he had already decided that Yuzhi would not only be his woman in the future, but also the queen of Tang Dynasty!
"So that's how you treat your brother? That young master Ling is so miserable!" She hurriedly changed the topic to prevent Kou Zhong from getting too deep... This topic can never be touched between them, no matter how greedy she is, she I don't have this qualification either... The current Kou Zhong deserves a better woman than her.
"Young Master Ling used to be quite miserable." Kou Zhong smiled, thinking of Ziling who was always teased by him in the past.He knew that Yuzhi was deliberately avoiding his words, he was not in a hurry to force her, everything would wait until he found that set of minds!He must restore Yuzhi to its original state!
"Have you figured it out? Are you really going directly to the west of Sichuan? In this way, we will have to travel for nearly ten hours. Are you really not afraid of being tired?" Kou Zhong asked Yuzhi again if he was sure.
"Well, of course go directly to Shuxi, otherwise, how long will it take to reach Donglai if you drag on like this." Yuzhi affirmed.
"That's good." Kou Zhong smiled and raised his horsewhip, "In order for us to get to the west of Sichuan sooner, you can sit still, little white rabbit. I, Kou Zhong, won't wait for you." He lashed hard at the horse's buttocks With a whip, the horse ran even harder in pain.
The author has something to say: Congratulations everyone, the zongzi finally kept the clouds and saw the moon, and Yuzhi was finally moved by the zongzi! ! !Originally, she was so determined to break with Kou Zhong, she tried various ways to keep Kou Zhong away from her, but it still couldn't beat our Zongzi's strong strategy!Hahahaha, everyone, don't think Yuzhi is hypocritical, think about it, a man abandons his dignity to you over and over again, and you continue to hurt him again and again, your heart is hard enough, but he still Just don't believe in evil!Who was Kou Zhong before? To Li Xiuning, whom he liked, even if the two had a quarrel because of a misunderstanding, he still refused to bow his head.In the TV series, his patience is undoubtedly shown, you know →_→, only Yuzhi makes him abandon his dignity again and again.This article is even worse, although Yuzhi has a reason to do this~ hahaha~~ She hurts Kou Zhong every time, and she is very big and does not give him a chance to understand, but what about Kou Zhong ?To please her when she made trouble for no reason; to follow her sternly when she drove him away; her words made him vomit blood in anger, and in the end he was still only for her, the Kou Zhong who was not at all humbled by her back then was completely purified , Do you think she can not be moved?Just touched the world!
