Gui Xiliang and Xing Rong were forced into a corner, with the latter ounded in the left ar down froeous position
The other guests, as well as the waiters, were crowding the wall on the kitchen side; everybody appeared to be outraged, but nobody dared to speak up
As soon as Kou and Xu, two boys entered the hall, two Rain Baer at theet lost! You have no place to speak up in here”
Seeing an old friend injured, Xu Ziling let out a cold snort and strode forward
A sword flashed; one of Rain Ba’s left shoulder
Xu Ziling had not even reacted, Kou Zhong’s leg flew out
‘Bang!’
The man was kicked heavily that the sword flew off his hand and his body flew backward and crashed heavily on a chair; i as heard
Everybody in the hall was shocked
The other five Rain Ba’s display of prowess; they all retreated to one side, opening up a gap between the two sides, with each side has received disadvantage fro looked at Kou and Xu, two boys in disbelief
Kou Zhong cupped his fist and said, “Gui Xiangzhu, hoould you like subordinate to handle these renegades who dared to offend their superior?”
A strong and muscular man, who seemed to be the leader of these Rain Ba superior? I, Bai Rong, azhu [hall zhu to have a talk with us You two are the ones who are offending your superior”
Gui Xiliang looked at the ene to crawl up from the floor, and spoke in a heavy voice, “Do you need a blade to invite er to Bai Rong and said with a laugh, “In this ht! How about we tie thee between us, to see who’s right and who’s wrong”
Bai Rong gave an eye signal, i their saber to hack on Kou Zhong
This ti let out a cold snort and stepped in front of Kou Zhong Slapping rapidly to the left and to the right, he pushed the two blades aside, and then taking a step forward he punched the two men’s lower abdomen
The two men were thrown back fro, so that the three of theourd, in a very sorry condition The rest of their men stayed quiet out of fear, and evenRong could only stare blankly with ape In just a short period of time he was already overwhelmed with a whole new level of respect toward these two boys
Kou Zhong calmly clapped his hands and said, “Well? Do you want to create havoc at the Rain Bareat hall o, just let us, the two s was silent; he signaled Xing Rong with his eyes, and then forcefully pulled Kou and Xu to the street and said, “Let’s go back to Junshi+ Mansion first and talk about it”
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling knew that he was scared; they had no choice but to smile wryly and conan, the river becayin City and the four rural areas outside the city; the river also formed the skeleton of the town layout
The houses along the river ashed, the ones facing the water had their walls and s reflecting the ripples, painting a fresh and clean artwork like scenery of the patchwork of ays Rows of water lanes interspersed with s people in beautiful silk dress; a touchingly beautiful spring scenery
Junshi+ Mansion was originally the Jiangyin’s provincial overnor mansion, it was located at the town center, the confluence of the river courses Right in front of theacross the river lining the Junshi+ Mansion, so that the entire building co
Co, the south was more calm and peaceful than the north Due to the influx of northerners who fled to the south to avoid cala and flourishi+ng
In troubled times, it is easily understandable that the coes within the Zhuhua Bang
Even though Xu Ziling also did not wish to be drawn into this kind of power struggle and territorial dispute, he still felt that he ought to prevent Tieqi Hui, whose evil reputation has spread far and wide, fro was leading the two boys crossing the bridge, they carant uard duty that day, as also the head disciple of Military Adviser Shao Lingzhou, with a rather handsoant and conceited individual, stared hard at Kou and Xu, two boys, and said, “shi+fu’s order, froer is allowed inside Junshi+ Mansion”
Gui Xiliang suffered quite a loss of face in front of Kou Zhong, two people; but he was helpless As a last attempt, he said, “These tere disciples of loyal martyr Yan Kuan, who in the past had bravely sacrificed his own life in Yangzhou In recent years they roaood martial art skill Just now they had beaten Rain Ba until he was in a sorry state; therefore, I was hoping to introduce them to Shao Junshi+ and recoly swept his gaze over the two boys, assu look, he shook his head and said, “You can do that tonight”
Gui Xiliang helplessly pulled the two boys to the side and said, “Let o inside to see Shao Junshi+ first, and then I’ll coroaning apologetically and said, “Mai Yunfei relies on his position as Shao Junshi+’s first disciple, plus he is Shao Lanfang’s lover, so he has always been riding roughshod over people, especially to us, who used to be the late Bangzhu’s attendants Sooner or later ill have hi kneas not Mai Yunfei’saside he said, “Don’t talk nonsense, let’s go in first and talk later You tait for us here”
After the twowalked over to the rocky beach of the river at end of the bridge; just like in the past, like a couple ofthe water
Kou Zhong looked at Mai Yunfei, as guarding at the other side of the bridge, and said with a laugh, “That scoundrel Xiliang’s luck does not seeinally he had the opportunity to achieve htered by the ainst Mai Yunfei, who’s butting head with hiet inside the Mansion he had his hands and feet blocked I wonder ould he still want to be this kind of Xiangzhu?”
But then he turned excited as he said, “Shao Lanfang is the ht as well rob Mai Yunfei’s er”
Displeased, Xu Ziling said, “If you seduce somebody else’s lover just for that reason, I will definitely not allow you to do that”
Kou Zhong pulled Xu Ziling’s shoulder and laughed apologetically, “I was just kidding!” he said, “Xiao Ling, don’t take it too seriously”
And then he changed the subject, “As a Xiangzhu plus the last disciple of the late Bangzhu, Xiliang’s position is not low, on top of that he still has the support of the late Bangzhu’s direct subordinates Tell zhu? Otherwise, Mai Yunfei would not squeeze hi his body with his elbows, enjoying the afternoon sun; hearing Kou Zhong, he was taken aback “Xiliang’s skill is too shallow,” he said, “He is not qualified to be a gang leader, don’t pull to the east and lead to the west, you are the one ants to be the gang leader!”
Kou Zhong shook his head and said, “I really don’t have that desire, plus it won’t work Right now Li Mi’s power is flourishi+ng, if I beca boss], there is good chance Zhuhua Bang won’t last a few days But if Xiliang becazhu, he only needs to rely on us for support, and then there won’t be any difference toszhu, I ahter the current Junshi+ and all his cronies clean; are you that for looked down on the river water under his feet; he muttered, “That is really a bit difficult, but it is not i was the late Bangzhu’s disciple This guy used to be very gutsy, but perhaps he has been bullied for a long ti spoke in low voice, “That Mai Yunfei is co his head; he saw Mai Yunfei, leading four of histhe rocky path toward the beach where they sat Kou Zhong laughed and said, “Probably he is angered by Xiliang?”
Before Xu Ziling had any chance to respond, Mai Yunfei had already shouted fro down in front of the Junshi+ Mansion like that; whatever next? Quickly go back to the Hall where you belong!”
Xu Ziling did not react at all, he was still enjoying the sun with his eyes closed
Kou Zhong squinting his eyes looking at hi if you are deaf, and did not hear Gui Xiangzhu ordering us to wait for hiuard”
Mai Yunfei’s countenance underwent a drastic change, while the four hunting dogs behind him rushed out to close in on the two boys on the riverbank; very ihed and said, “What? You want to fight?”
Mai Yunfei was so angry that his handsoravely said, “Stand up!”
