I, the wanderer of the universe, love making friends

Chapter 170 Yuzhi, you are holding me as your brother

Although Song Yuzhi came from the Song family, one of the four wealthy families, she did not have the spoiled and willful habits of other young ladies from wealthy families.

Although she looks unrestrained and free-spirited, she is actually a woman with infinite tenderness in her heart.

She soon fell for Shen Lang's extremely skilled sweet talk.

Drinking tea in the cabin.

Started to agree with Shen Lang.

Shen Lang did as he said at the beginning.

Then, when Song Yuzhi felt that his mind and soul had flown to the ninth heaven.

Song Yuzhi hurriedly reached out to grab it.

Shen Lang immediately reminded: "Yuzhi, why did you capture my brother's 78?"

……

For the following time, even eating and drinking were done in the cabin.

When the ship was about to arrive in Xingyang.

Song Yuzhi has become a qualified woman.

She took the initiative to talk about the purpose of her trip to Xingyang.

"After Du Fuwei captured Liyang, he cut off traffic on the Yangtze River, wantonly looted ships passing by, and refused to show mercy to anyone. He also seized several ships of the Song clan, so he sent me to contact Li Mi." Song Yuzhi said.

Shen Lang smiled and said, "This is a major event for the Song Clan. If you tell me, would it be considered a leak of secrets?"

"Of course not, especially now that we have this kind of relationship," Song Yuzhi said. "Everyone in the world now praises you for your martial arts prowess, your wisdom and courage, and your ability to use both kindness and power. In the Wang family, you used your strength and wisdom to resolve a life-or-death crisis with just a few words."

Shen Lang said, "I never thought that I would receive such a good reputation just by making a few moves."

Song Yuzhi nodded and said, "So I want to ask you what you mean."

"I think it may be impossible for you to form an alliance with Li Mi for the time being." Shen Lang said.

Song Yuzhi was a little confused: "Why?"

Shen Lang shook his head and said, "Because I heard that Zhai Rang is dead, and now the Wagang Army is experiencing internal strife, and the Sui Army is plotting a counterattack. I'm afraid Li Mi has no time to take care of other things."

He added, "Did I injure Du Fuwei's head then? Right now, Yang Guang's army is pouring into Jiangdong. He still dares to create a powerful enemy like your clan. I'm afraid he must be tired of living."

"Du Fuwei must have been forced to do so, but he shouldn't have provoked my Song family. We have negotiated with Du Fu and Du Fu many times, but to no avail. My father was furious and decided to teach Du Fuwei a lesson at all costs. However, because he didn't know Mi Gong's intentions, he sent Yuzhi to come and talk." Song Yuzhi said.

Shen Lang asked again, "When I met the Wagang Army's military advisor Qiao in the past, I heard him say that the Wagang Army and the Jianghuai Army were not getting along, and he even wanted to kill Du Fuwei."

"Times are different now," Song Yuzhi asked, "I wonder if Brother Shen has ever heard of a Tiele man named Qu Ao?"

"I've vaguely heard of this person. Rumor has it that he's rampant in Western Xinjiang, and his reputation rivals that of the Turkic martial arts master, Bi Xuan." Shen Lang asked curiously, "Could it be that he's collaborating with Du Fuwei?"

Song Yuzhi nodded and said, "The Tiele people have always been sworn enemies of the Turks. Seeing the growing influence of the Turks in the Central Plains, they have developed ambitions to get a piece of the action. Qu Aozheng has come here on a secret order from the Tiele King to ally with the emerging forces in the Central Plains, hoping to fish in troubled waters and gain some advantage."

Then he lowered his voice, "Yu Zhi came here not only because this person is collaborating with Du Fuwei, but also because he has learned that they intend to kill Li Mi. If this succeeds, the Wagang Army will be thrown into chaos, and the Sui Army will attack. At that time, Du Fuwei can not only absorb the scattered Wagang Army troops, but also expand to the north."

"What a sinister intention." Shen Lang sighed. "The world is in chaos right now. Whether it's foreigners or the rebel army from the Central Plains, there's war everywhere. When will the people be able to live and work in peace?"

"Yes." Song Yuzhi also said softly, "If the war can be ended sooner, the people will live a peaceful life sooner."

She turned her head and looked at Shen Lang, "Brother Shen, do you have no interest in the world?"

"War means death. I'm not cut out to be an emperor." Shen Lang shook his head. "Besides, war involves more than just people. There are many other aspects to it. Not to mention that leading troops in battle and governing a country are not my strong points."

Song Yuzhi said softly, "Brother Shen has a clear understanding of himself, but many people sacrifice their lives for their own selfish desires."

"Okay, let's not talk about this." Shen Lang said, "Have you rested well? It's your turn to sleep with me this time."

Song Yuzhi's face instantly turned red. "Could it be that Brother Shen only thinks about these things? I just want to have a good talk with you."

She didn't expect that during an ordinary routine family diplomatic lobbying, a man whose name she had only heard of in the martial arts world would be the one to be suppressed by her.

For Song Yuzhi, who came from a noble family, this was the first time, but she seemed to be willing.

Even if I only talked to this man for less than half an hour.

But for some things, even just a look is enough.

Shen Lang said seriously: "You speak and I listen."

"If I wasn't from the Song family, would things between us still be like this?" Song Yuzhi asked.

As a child of a large family, she knew that no matter how much emotion she had, it would be suppressed by the rise and fall of the family. Many people approached her because they valued her special status.

Shen Lang said without hesitation: "Of course, I value you as a person. It has nothing to do with your origins or family. I am not vying for supremacy, nor do I need to rely on the Song family for anything."

"I hope what you say is true."

"Of course it's true, Yuzhi, my sweetheart, I'm coming in."

……

When the ship docked at Xingyang's pier, Shen Lang looked at the city gate from afar.

Although it was snowing heavily, the city was heavily guarded and anyone leaving the city was carefully checked.

He left the city with Shen Luoyan and didn't know where Shen Luoyan was now.

Zhai Rang had just died at this time. If Shen Luoyan were to use the name of revenge for Zhai Rang, I don’t know if it would work.

While thinking wildly, Song Yuzhi said, "Brother Shen, let's get off the boat. Military Advisor Shen is here."

"Oh?" Shen Lang was suddenly confused.

Following her gaze, I saw the graceful Shen Luoyan getting out of a carriage.

Isn’t she on the Dongming Sect’s ship?
Could it be that during the time she was in Cihang Jingzhai, Li Mi invited her back?

However, Shen Lang was only slightly surprised.

The legs are on Shen Luoyan's body, and following him around everywhere also limits the display of her talents.

At worst, they could just kill Li Mi and let her inherit the Wagang Army.

"Sister Yan." Song Yuzhi waved and greeted her before getting off the boat.

Shen Luoyan not only saw her, but also saw Shen Lang who was following her.

"Yuzhi, you're here?" Shen Luoyan said with a smile, then looked at Shen Lang, "Have you finished your business?"

And sent a message to him, "Did you trick the Song family's daughter again?"

"How could it be a lie?" Shen Lang denied, "I have always made friends sincerely."

After the two of them communicated secretly, Shen Lang said in front of Song Yuzhi: "I was originally planning to go to Luoyang, but I didn't expect you to be here, so I came to pay you a visit first."

Shen Luoyan said: "Yuzhi, Brother Shen, let's get in the car first. Many things cannot be explained clearly in a short time."

The three of them got back on the carriage, drove through the streets, and headed straight to where Shen Luoyan lived.

In the car, Shen Lang couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you going to Luoyang with Madam Dongming and the others?"

"I was originally going to Luoyang, but when I passed by here, I was stopped by people sent by Mi Gong." Shen Luoyan sighed softly, "I told you that the Wagang Army has a lot of my efforts. Luoyan is definitely not staying here to commemorate my former master. Besides, you also know the other reason..."

Shen Lang nodded. Shen Luoyan once said that if she were in charge of the Wagang Army, she could do a lot for Shen Lang.

So he was just surprised that she returned to the Wagang Army. He didn't expect her to keep her word.

Song Yuzhi asked curiously, "Has Sister Yan ever left the Wagang Army before?"

Shen Luoyan said: "That was all in the past. Now I am still the military advisor of the Wagang Army. I wonder what Yuzhi wants to talk to me about?"

"This matter is of great importance. I am worried that there are eavesdroppers. It would be better to talk about it when we get there," Song Yuzhi said.

Shen Luoyan nodded, "Okay, no rush."

Shen Lang discovered that there were checkpoints at every street corner and patrols everywhere.

Her residence is located among the residential houses in the east of the city. There are thousands of houses including her own residence.

All the streets are made of blue bricks and blue tiles, connected by alleys, forming deep alleys with high walls. The alleys are narrow and winding. Hundreds of streets and alleys are winding and crisscrossed, all paved with large bluestone slabs, and the forms are similar.

After entering, you will see an exquisite garden.

Shen Luoyan introduced: "Luoyan loves to see the scene of abundant fruits, so most of the trees he planted are fruit trees."

Song Yuzhi couldn't help but praise her, "Sister Yan is really thoughtful. Who would have thought that in a deep alley, there would be such a beautiful place on earth?"

Shen Luoyan smiled modestly: "Yuzhi, don't laugh at me. Your Song family's Huai Garden is ranked among the top ten scenic spots in the martial arts world. How can my little nest compare to it?"

When they arrived at the living room, she said, "Yuzhi, please sit down first. Brother Shen and I have something to talk about. It will be ready soon. I will come to greet you later."

"Sister Yan, you go ahead and do your work first." Song Yuzhi said.

Shen Luoyan asked someone to bring tea and something warm to Song Yuzhi, and then took Shen Lang to the backyard.

Shen Lang asked curiously, "What happened? Why is the search so rigorous?"

"Someone stole a list." Shen Luoyan frowned. "It's a list of my spies in various places. It also records the expenses, money transactions, and so on."

As she walked, she said, "Even though Shiji almost turned the entire Xingyang City upside down, he still couldn't find the person who stole my list. You've come at the perfect time. Can you help me find those two thieves?"

"two?"

"Exactly. One of them is called Kou Zhong, and the other is called Xu Ziling." Shen Luoyan said, "These two came to Xingyang City and happened to be acquainted with Dalongtou. They lived in Dalongtou's mansion. When Mi Gong attacked Dalongtou, they took the opportunity to escape and stole my list."

Shen Lang put his arms around her waist and said, "You haven't had anything to do with Xu Shiji since you came back, right?"

"What can I have against him?" Shen Luoyan couldn't help but pinch him. "You're flirting with women all over the world. Who knows when you'll forget me. If I don't have a career, how can I compete with the eldest daughters of the Li and Song clans and the Dongming Sect?" Shen Lang asked, "If I kill Li Mi, can you take charge of the Wagang Army?"

The Wagang Army was now the most famous among all the rebel armies, but due to the killing of Zhai Rang, an irreparable rift appeared within it.

Shen Luoyan was silent for a moment. "Unless we drive out all the troops in Pushan Public Camp, and now the Wagang Army has just captured Xingluo Cang, and Zhai Rang has just died. If Li Mi dies, the Wagang Army will fall apart in an instant, and the Sui Army will take the opportunity to eat us up. It will be a loss-making move."

"It's better to act early than late," Shen Lang said. "Besides, Li Mi probably wants you back because he killed Zhai Rang. After this is over, he will eventually settle accounts with you."

Shen Luoyan was silent for a while. "If Lord Mi dies, the people in Pushan's camp might mutiny. Then we will lose the hard-earned gains. Moreover, Yang Guang will definitely take advantage of the chaos in the Wagang Army and attack us with all his strength."

"This is a troublesome matter. I heard that Qu Ao of Tiele is colluding with Du Fuwei." Shen Lang remembered what Song Yuzhi said.

Shen Luoyan frowned. "Is Qu Ao colluding with Du Fuwei? No wonder the Jianghuai Army has remained inactive since capturing Liyang, only consolidating its territory. So they're planning something like this? Their intentions are truly sinister. If Lord Mi dies, he can not only take advantage of the situation to absorb the scattered Wagang Army troops, but also expand his influence to the north."

Although Li Mi was very annoying, he couldn't let him die at this time.

Although Shen Lang wanted to replace Shen Luoyan as the commander-in-chief of the Wagang Army, unfortunately the time was not right yet. If Yang Guang and Du Fuwei attacked from both sides, the Wagang Army would be torn apart.

By then it will be all in vain.

Nothing can be gained.

Shen Luoyan said: "Song Yuzhi is still in the hall, I will go greet her first."

"Okay." Shen Lang nodded.

Just as he was about to take a step and follow Shen Luoyan.

Suddenly, his ears moved and he said to Shen Luoyan, "A guest has arrived."

"What guest?" Shen Luoyan asked puzzledly.

Shen Lang said, "You go greet Song Yuzhi, I'll take care of this guest."

"Okay, it would be best if we could leave him alive." Shen Luoyan believed in his skills.

Shen Lang flashed and rushed to the courtyard next to him.

As soon as he landed on the roof of one of the rooms, he saw a figure rushing out from the grass in the garden, rushing to the door of the small building as fast as a ghost, and pushing the door open and entering.

At the same time, there was another master in the house.

The person who jumped out from the bushes was none other than Xu Ziling, who had stolen the roster and was about to exchange it back.

The Xu Ziling of today is no longer the Yangzhou gangster he used to be.

After learning the secret of longevity from Kou Zhong, he had just stepped up the stairs when he felt a sense of crisis coming.

His spirit suddenly rose to the limit, his true energy filled his meridians, and he drew out the short spear without hesitation.

The next moment, a black shadow rushed out of the room.

Although Xu Ziling had seen many battles along the way, he had never imagined that there would be such terrifying martial arts in the world.

He was suddenly aware of a sneak attack and was caught in an almost irresistible vortex of force.

There were thousands of strange forces, some pulling him forward, some pressing down on him, and several acting sideways and rotationally.

It's like falling into a raging whirlpool in the ocean, making it difficult for people to control themselves.

Fortunately, he became alert early, otherwise he would have fallen down and found it difficult to stand, and his life might even be in danger.

Xu Ziling knew that this was a matter of life and death, so without thinking, he gathered all his strength in the short spear in his hand, leaned over to sit on his horse, and at the same time stabbed and looked at the people coming and going.

In an instant, he could only see a black shadow.

A sword light was expanding before his eyes.

The indestructible sword energy penetrated through the long sword, causing his breathing to stop and his whole body to feel as if it were cut by a knife.

From the moment Xu Ziling climbed up here and discovered something was wrong until this terrifying enemy launched a sneak attack, it only took a blink of an eye, but it had already put Xu Ziling into danger he had never encountered in his life.

Just when he saw that the short spear in his hand could accurately block the enemy's weapon, the opponent's long sword changed, and Xu Ziling's short spear hit the air.

The feeling of using the wrong strength and having no way to exert it made Xu Ziling so uncomfortable that he almost vomited blood.

There was no sign of anyone in sight.

But his senses clearly told him that the other party was moving in an unpredictable way and was coming to a blind spot on his left side that was out of his sight.

The strangest thing was that there were still some sword beams flashing before his eyes, making him feel as if he was blind, and he could only react based on his senses.

Because the person who came was none other than Yang Xuyan, the shadow assassin who was famous throughout the world.

Tonight he hid in Shen Luoyan's boudoir with the intention of assassinating Shen Luoyan so that the Sui army could launch a preemptive attack on the Wagang Army's lair.

However, he didn't expect Xu Ziling to come and return the list, nor did he expect Xu Ziling to be a master. When Xu Ziling pushed the door and entered the building, he felt something.

He also misunderstood that Xu Ziling was on Shen Luoyan's side, so he prepared to kill Xu Ziling.

Immediately, a sharp sword energy seemed to want to pierce Xu Ziling's left waist.

Such powerful body movements and sword techniques are truly horrifying.

Xu Ziling had no time to think. He retracted the short spear that was about to pierce the air and turned to chop sideways.

But I didn't expect the sword light to be so strong, and there were whistling sword shadows and lights in all directions, and it was difficult to predict the real and fake.

But Xu Ziling could clearly grasp that not only was the opponent in front of him, but a fatal sword was also striking him in the lower abdomen like lightning.

Just as he was about to drop his spear and run for his life, he suddenly felt something beside him.

In addition, the overwhelming sword shadows and light suddenly disappeared, so Xu Ziling took a quick look.

I was immediately scared and broke out in a cold sweat.

There is another person next to me!

He had no idea how the other party came, when he came, or how he grabbed his wrist. It was as if the other party had been standing there all along.

What’s even more terrible is that the short spear in his hand inexplicably fell into the opponent’s hands.

Not only was Xu Ziling frightened out in cold sweats, but Yang Xuyan was also pale and stunned.

Because his hands were empty, someone grabbed his wrist instead.

He had no idea how this man came, how he took away his weapon, or how he grabbed his hand. In that moment just now, he felt like he was having a nightmare!

Moreover, he couldn't break free, as if the other party not only pinched his wrist, but also his qi sea, and he couldn't exert any strength in his body!

Yang Xuyan's heart trembled immediately, and he thought to himself, "Could this person also be Shen Luoyan's man? Why didn't I know about this?"

Just then, a big knife flew downstairs.

At the same time, someone shouted, "There's a thief!"

And ran upstairs.

Xu Ziling and Yang Xuyan originally thought that this man would either avoid the powerful long sword or use one of them to block it.

But I didn't expect it.

The other party just shouted with luck, "Break!"

The energy seemed to transform into a steel knife and chop against the flying sword.

There was a sound of metal clashing, and the big knife broke into pieces and fell to the ground.

Xu Ziling and Yang Xuyan both felt thunder in their ears and their heartbeats suddenly accelerated.

The same was true for Kou Zhong, who had just gone upstairs.

After finally recovering, he suddenly froze and shouted, "It's you! Young Master Ling, he was the one we met when Mom died!"

"Stop talking nonsense. You stole Shen Luoyan's list. Hand it over and I will spare your lives." Shen Lang was too lazy to reminisce with them.

For Fu Jun'er's sake, let them go for now.

He is a sentimental man. Fu Jun'er is treated as their mother and is willing to die to save them. Now he is their godfather.

Xu Ziling said: "I'll give it to you!"

He fumbled in his arms and took out the list hidden in his arms.

After Shen Lang got the list, he let go and said, "Let's go. If Shen Luoyan finds you, you won't be able to escape."

Just as he finished speaking, he heard Shen Luoyan's delicate shouting in the garden: "Who dares to cause trouble?"

She rushed into the garden with her men, followed by Song Yuzhi.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked at each other and rushed towards the outer wall in front.

Shen Lang took Yang Xuyan to see Shen Luoyan.

Shen Luoyan was surprised when she saw the person he was carrying, "Who is this?"

"I don't know. You should be able to find out if you ask carefully." Shen Lang said, "His swordsmanship is very high. He should be very famous."

Yang Xuyan was in tears. He had no idea how this man had snatched his weapon away, and yet he still claimed that his swordsmanship was very advanced.

"Brother Shen, what is this?" Song Yuzhi grabbed Shen Lang's weapon.

Shen Lang said: "Yuzhi, you are holding my 78."
