Those two appear to be the kind of woh and cheered, but it was Xu Ziling’s thigh Roaring in laughter he swayed back and forth and said, “Woood one Only a lecher who’s disguised as an upright gentle those who hear it could not refrain fro rain’ kind of reverie”
Xu Ziling knitted his sci slapped “This tionescooted over that they were now sitting side by side Wrapping his ar’s shoulder, he said, “Just now I touched Beautiful shi+fu”
Xu Ziling was visibly shaken, “What did you touch?” he asked
Kou Zhong boldly said, “Her slender lily-white hand”
Xu Ziling scoffed, “And I thought it was so Technique, didn’t she also touchyou to kiss her, why did you run away in panic?”
Kou Zhong laughed aloud and said, “This is called now is now, then is then This time it was this Shaoye who ether After I touched her, she acted as if nothing had happened and went into hiding in her room, but when I focused my power to my ears, immediately I was able to hear that this feainst the door and panting Obviously ”

But then he sighed and went on, “Actually, I was not happy because of her reaction, but I was happy for us, two brothers Thinking about the first ti inferior, but now not only I can touch her without getting scolded, I can also make her feel that I am a man qualified to touch her Hence it is clear that we have earned our place in Jianghu”
Xu Ziling muttered irresolutely, “You remind me of an immeasurably self-satisfied newly rich, or perhaps a snob who seeks governmental position and riches by hook or by crook”
Kou Zhong forcefully slapped Xu Ziling’s shoulder; he was in co ‘by hook or by crook’ [Translator’s note: s/idiom have four characters] is very true If not ‘by hook or by crook’, if it ith hands and feet tied’, then there won’t be enough people fighting Because Li Mi understood ‘by hook or by crook’, he beca Army Of course! My ‘by hook or by crook’ is only directed toward the ene sneered “I a of this four-characterabout a friend, there won’t be any ‘by hook or by crook’! Not only Zhai Rang was Li Mi’s superior, he was his comrade-in-arms and benefactor Now that’s what I call by ‘hook or by crook’”
With a wry s said, “Thewith the female enemy Ay! One lifetiood! Worst-case scenario Xiaodi [I, little brother] will have to find another Beautiful shi+fu inside the worance building], Miss Yu Ling I hopepunched Kou Zhong’s thigh; he laughed and said, “You just want to hed; he said, “In this world, there is nothing that I, Kou Zhong, fear The only thing I ah Hey! I have alanted to ask you this: do you think Li Dage can be considered our brother?”
Xu Ziling was taken aback, “I have never thought about it,” he said, “Why do you ask?”
Kou Zhong replied in a heavy voice, “We knew Su Jie at least one or two sichen [1 sichen = 2 hours] earlier than we knew Li Dage, hence we ought to be a bit closer to Su Jie Given that Su Jie is such a good woood care of her, I felt very unco Sister Xiao, whose looseness penetrated the bones, called them out, “Come to the main cabin, there’s an important think we need to tell you!”
In thearound the table Other than Big Sister Xiao, Xiang Yushan and Susu, Yun Yuzhen also joined for the first tiether; from time to ti Sister Xiao spoke up seriously, “Just received the latest news: Li Mi clai Feather’ Zheng Rong, as a result, he issued the ‘Duke of Pushan’s Decree’, vowing to cut off your heads Whoever can capture you alive will not only receive a thousand taels of gold, but will also become his Junshi+ [military counselor, just like Shen Luoyan] Whoever can present your heads to him will not only receive reward, but will also be pro and Kou Zhong looked at each other in dis was killed by Liu Heita, yet the blame was put on their heads; in the end, it was just an excuse to kill them
The person Susu feared the ed “What should we do?” she asked
With a cold laugh Kou Zhong said, “I am not afraid of him! He did not kno lucky he is I did not coe of us by putting the blaet angry,” Xiang Yushan hastily said, “Right now Li Mi’s fa the hearts of millions of people Since he blatantly issued a decree to kill you, it is clear that he will spare no effort to deal with you After Yangzhou ee to lie low until the fuss dies down; you must never let your e Sister Xiao added, “Right now Li Mi has the greatest chance to become the Emperor, plus he knows to buy the hearts of the people; hence all the heroes of the world are looking up to hi heavy rewards, there ive you trouble Only an outstanding talent can recognize current trends; you hide for a while, nobody will dare to say that you are cowards”
Looking at their hard-to-appease anger, Yun Yuzhen, as rather fa the ‘Duke of Pushan’s Decree’ is really unwise, because you are alive and well a day longer, he could not get out of it a day longer too The further it drags along, the heavier the dae to his reputation will be It would be best if the two of you make appearances here and there froet off”
Her re iht! He wants to drive us aear to fight him to the end, so that he will find it hard to sleep, and he will eat without tasting the food”
