A knife in love

Chapter 1002

The man in black didn't answer after hearing what Old Master Nie said, but just bowed his head in silence.

Li Qiufeng thought to himself, this old guy is blatantly provoking, and he has no scruples at all if he wants to come to this point.It seemed that he had made up his mind that the Lu, Zhao, and Du families had to be eliminated.However, if this man in black robe surnamed Lu really has no resentment towards Mrs. Lu, he should naturally refute Mrs. Nie at this time.Looking at his appearance, he didn't even say a word, I'm afraid he was already dissatisfied with Mrs. Lu in his heart.The Nie family knew the situation of the Lu family well. If the two families turned against each other, the Nie family would definitely gain the upper hand.

Old Mrs. Nie saw the black-robed man bowed his head in silence, hummed, turned his head again, and said to a 70-[-]-year-old gray-robed old man standing at the bottom of the stone steps: "Old Zhao, do you see that? After this Ah, all the old pillars of the dearest brothers are useless. At the critical moment, before the enemy makes a move, our own people will lie down first."

The gray-robed old man looked embarrassed, thought for a moment, and then said: "Second brother Lu has not been in good health these past few years, maybe he was delayed on the road, brother Nie doesn't have to worry about it."

Old Mrs. Nie sneered, and said: "Even if he is not in good health, his sons are not only as strong as cattle, but also very angry. The eldest and second eldest of his family have owned thousands of hectares of fertile land in Yangzhou and Suzhou. The annual rent of the five Zhuangzi is no less than 10 taels of silver, but these years, when did you see them come out to do business for our four families? In order to deal with the Xu family, the war in Haizhou, our three elites all sent out. But Lu The second son just sent a few unhappy sons with some soldiers and generals to deal with errands. Your Zhao family killed more than 60 people in the Haizhou battle, and more than ten of the elder brothers died at the hands of the Xu family. The Du family even Needless to say, the long house was completely dead, and even half of the side houses were lost in Haizhou. In order to plan this battle, our Nie family has been secretly operating since four or five years ago, and spent a huge amount of money on it. , My two sons lost their lives for this, and as for the other houses of the Nie family, twenty or thirty people died in the battle in Haizhou."

Old Mrs. Nie sighed heavily when he said this, and said to the gray-robed man: "I am disheartened. After the matter here is over, don't say that the five families of Fengmen Village are united. Let's shoot two Let's go, let's go our separate ways."

The old man in gray robe was startled, and said in a trembling voice, "Brother Nie, this, this can't be..."

He hadn't finished speaking when he heard someone say: "Uncle Zhao, you are really a kind-hearted person. You have come to this point to defend Second Uncle Lu. You really have been sold, and you have to count the money for him?! "

When everyone in the courtyard heard this sentence, their hearts trembled, and they all turned their heads to look at the corner door.A dozen or so people entered the yard through the corner gate, and the leader of them was Zhang Baixing, the master of the Xiuwu County Yamen.

Li Qiufeng looked intently, but saw Zhang Baixing's attire was different from the past.Originally a long gown had been replaced by a blue tights, with leather armor on the outside, and a long sword hanging from his waist.The dozen or so people following him were all extremely sturdy, and they all carried long swords behind them.Li Qiufeng saw that these dozen people looked familiar, and suddenly remembered that these dozen people were all apprentices of Cui Yanshou, the head of Tianlongmen.

Li Qiufeng saw Zhang Baixing rushing to the Town God's Temple with the people from the Tianlongmen, and he thought to himself, in Xiuwu County, in terms of martial arts and strength, Tianlongmen is far away from Leiquanmen, Shijiadao, and Biyunwu. superior.It seems that the Nie family has bought Tianlongmen, relying on Cui Yanshou to resist the Japanese pirates.Maybe they will use Cui Yanshou's hand to get rid of the three families of Lu, Zhao and Du.Cui Yanshou is greedy, a villain who has milk and is a mother.However, this person's martial arts are not weak, with his help, the strength of the Nie family will naturally increase greatly.

I saw Zhang Bai walking in front of Mrs. Nie, bowed and said, "Nephew has made arrangements, please give orders from uncle, we will start immediately!"

As soon as Zhang Baixing said this, not only Li Qiufeng was taken aback, but also the expressions of the black-robed man surnamed Lu and the gray-robed old man surnamed Zhao changed drastically.Everyone thought in their hearts, the enemy didn't show up right now, but Zhang Baixing said "I will attack immediately", what does this mean?

The black-robed man surnamed Lu was indeed as Mr. Nie said, he was not happy in the Lu family.Not only old master Lu didn't want to see him, but the brothers also always bossed him around and ordered him around.Over the years, whenever there was a dangerous matter, he and two or three other unhappy brothers were often responsible for doing it, so he narrowly escaped death several times.In the battle of Haizhou a few months ago, he even narrowly escaped death and almost died.Although he escaped with his life, a younger brother died tragically under the knife of the Xu family. The man in black witnessed the tragedy with his own eyes.After the Battle of Haizhou, the man in black had nightmares almost every night, often seeing bloody steel knives slashing his body.Just now when Old Master Nie was speaking, he directly pointed out that Old Master Lu was eccentric and intentionally sent the black-robed man to his death.Although the black-robed man knew that Mrs. Nie had bad intentions and deliberately made provocative words, he had been holding back for many years, knowing that Mrs. Nie was telling the truth, so he did not speak out to refute.Hearing that Zhang Baixing wanted to "do something", his heart trembled. He thought to himself that his father and his brothers had said that the Nie family had been trying to get rid of the Lu, Zhao, and Du families all these years. Hold back.After the Battle of Haizhou, the whole army of the Xu family was wiped out, and the Nie family no longer had to worry about the future. They were afraid that they would attack the three families at any time.When the man in black rushed to Xiuwu County, he was already vigilant, always guarding against the Nie family's disadvantages.Seeing Zhang Baixing's murderous look at this moment, he was terrified, fearing that the Nie family would attack him, he involuntarily took two steps back, his right hand had already grasped the hilt of the sword.

Although Mrs. Nie squinted his eyes, he could clearly see the movements of the man in black.He snorted, and said: "Then let's do it quickly, within an hour, we must get things done properly!"

Zhang Baixing said: "Uncle, don't worry, we have practiced dozens of times, and it only takes half an hour. Guaranteed that this Town God's Temple is stronger than the Forbidden City!"

Hearing what Zhang Baixing said, Li Qiufeng was a little confused, not knowing what he meant.He secretly watched the expressions of the people, but saw that except Mrs. Nie, Zhang Baixing and other members of the Nie family, the rest of the people looked confused, as if they didn't know what Zhang Baixing said.

After Zhang Baixing finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the crowd, and went through the corner door to the front yard.After a while, there was a loud sound of footsteps in the front yard, followed by a chaotic "cracking" sound, mixed with the sound of axes and chisels.It appears that someone is building a house.

Most of the people in the backyard didn't know what happened, so they turned their heads and looked around.Old Mrs. Nie still squinted his eyes, with a slight smile on his mouth, as if he had already made up his mind.The black-robed man surnamed Lu showed fear, and said to Mrs. Nie, "Uncle Lu, what's going on here?"

Old Mrs. Nie smiled slightly and said: "Lao Qi, you don't have to worry. Your father is unkind, but I cannot be unrighteous. You are my nephew, even if the sky falls, I can't harm you. So just put your heart back In my stomach, act according to the plan we set. As long as you help me destroy the pirates today, I can guarantee you that in the future, your seventh son will be the head of the Lu family."

Before the man in black could answer, the gray-robed old man surnamed Zhao said: "Brother Lu, you don't want us to guard here. If there is an enemy coming to attack, we must fight hard to kill the enemy. But the enemy didn't show up. It looks like we are on the outside, on the outside. building a house..."

Before the old man in gray robe could finish his sentence, he could only hear the sound of footsteps, and a group of people poured in from the corner door.These people carried miscellaneous objects such as wood, planks, and iron plates. After entering the backyard, they piled up the wood and other objects by the fence, took out axes and chisels from their waists, and started to work on their own.Everyone was puzzled and looked at these people in astonishment.Seeing these people put up logs and boards, it seems that they really want to build a house in the backyard.

Old Mrs. Nie and everyone looked suspicious, smiled slightly, and said: "To be honest, this Town God's Temple is another foundation of our five families outside of Fengmen Village. In the past few years, Dingzhong and Baixing have dealt with the Xu family. I have already thought of a good strategy. When the crisis comes, I can turn the Town God's Temple into a fortress at any time. Don't worry, everyone, just wait and see a good show."

In the blink of an eye, 200 people had poured into the backyard.These people are all wearing short shirts, and they look like master carpenters.I saw that they first set up a wooden frame more than two feet high, slightly higher than the wall.Then wooden planks were laid on the wooden frame, and iron plates were erected on the top of the frame.It only took a stick of incense to stick to the wall in the backyard, and another wooden city wall was erected.
