A knife in love

Chapter 1008

Fan Tong and others are also old officials who have been in the officialdom for many years. Seeing this situation, they know that things are different, and the less they know, the better.After hearing Huang Chong's words, everyone rushed to the outside of the temple as if they had received an amnesty.

In the blink of an eye, only Ji Dingzhong, Han Qusi, Huang Chong, and Li Qiufeng were left standing in place.Ji Dingzhong also knew that he had lost his composure just now. After everyone left, he suppressed his anger and said to Han Qusi: "Old Han, I was too anxious just now, and my words were quite offensive. Please don't take offense."

Han Qusi forced a smile, and said: "Master Ji is too serious. I have benefited a lot from Master Ji's advice on weekdays. Today, Han made his own decision and almost ruined Master Ji's affairs. Master Ji was unhappy, but he also some."

Hearing what Han Qusi said, Li Qiufeng knew that he was dissatisfied, and thought to himself, it seems that the Nie, Lu, Zhao, and Du families thought that the Xu family was ruined, and they all wanted to stand out.Ji Dingzhong is the head of the Nie family, so he naturally wanted to subdue the other three families.However, Han Qusi, who is from the Lu family, and Hu Kun, who is from the Zhao family, have already secretly communicated and planned to join forces to deal with the Nie family to protect themselves.Over the years, Ji Dingzhong, as the master of the prefect of Luoyang, has manipulated everything behind his back, even treating Han Qusi as a puppet.With Han Qusi's status, he was naturally unwilling, but he couldn't afford to offend the Nie family, so he could only swallow his anger.But now that the Xu family is gone, Han Qusi has less worries.Just now he was reprimanded by Ji Dingzhong in public, although Han Qusi didn't refute publicly, but his answer was full of wit and subtlety.The two sides are facing each other tit-for-tat, I'm afraid that before the Japanese pirates come to attack, dirty things will happen.

How could Ji Dingzhong fail to hear the irony in Han Qusi's words?It's just that to deal with the Japanese pirates, you have to borrow the strength of the Lu family.Right now, apart from Old Master Lu and his sons, Han Qusi is in charge of the Lu family.In terms of his status in the Lu family, Han Qusi was still above the two dissatisfied biological sons sent by Master Lu.Therefore, Ji Dingzhong suppressed the anger in his chest, and said in a deep voice: "The enemy is now in front of us, we must not be dirty. Old Han, brother, I can't help but accompany you."

After Ji Dingzhong finished speaking, he cupped his fists and gave a deep salute.Han Qusi didn't want to turn against Ji Dingzhong at this time, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to help, and said in his mouth: "They are all my brothers, why is Master Ji like this?"

The two of them pretended to be polite again, but they already knew that the other party hated themselves to the bone, and the guard in their hearts was even stronger.

Seeing that Ji Dingzhong and Han Qusi did not turn their backs, Huang Chong heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "We've already made arrangements, and we're just waiting for the big boss of the Japanese pirates to come to the door. But I don't know if they will do the courtesy first and then the soldiers, or whether they will come back immediately after they arrive at the Temple of the City God." Massive attack. We have to deal with it carefully, not to make accidents."

Ji Dingzhong said: "We haven't broken our ties with the Japanese pirates yet, and we don't expect them to turn against each other after they come. Although the Japanese pirates came here, although they have a conspiracy to kill us, in the final analysis, it is nothing more than money. Let's just say that the silver is in the In the Chenghuang Temple, even if these Japanese pirates want to kill us, they will only do it after seeing the money. Therefore, the big bosses of the Japanese pirates will enter the Chenghuang Temple in all likelihood. At that time, we will separate these pirate leaders from the Japanese pirate brigade outside the temple , get rid of all the bosses first, and then attack the Japanese pirates outside the temple, and you will be done. Even if the big boss of the Japanese pirates refuses to enter the Temple of the City God and intends to lead the Japanese pirates to attack us directly, can they come in? As long as we send out a signal, The [-] Ruyang Guard cavalry stationed outside the city will be able to rush forward. Then we will attack from inside and outside, and the Japanese pirates will come and go!"

Han Qusi and Huang Chong nodded in agreement.Li Qiufeng thought to himself, although the bastard Ji Dingzhong is insidious and cunning, he doesn't know that the purpose of the Japanese pirates' trip is not to get money, but to wipe out the four families of Nie, Lu, Zhao, and Du, and seize Fengmen Village as a The place where Japanese pirates lurk in the Central Plains.And with Liu Sheng Zongyan's martial arts, even if he was surrounded after entering the City God Temple, it would be extremely difficult to kill him.Only when martial arts masters from Huashan, Kunlun, Emei, Qingcheng and other sects come together to besiege Liusheng Zongyan, maybe this old guy can be eliminated.Over the years, the Liusheng clan has caused troubles in the Central Plains, killing countless heroes.Moreover, they intend to subvert the Great Ming Dynasty. If the plot succeeds, the Han people may not know how many people will die.Today has reached a critical moment, and Liu Shengzongyan must not be allowed to leave Xiuwu County alive.

Seeing Li Qiufeng groaning silently, Ji Dingzhong said, "What's your opinion, Lord Li?"

Li Qiufeng said: "Master Ji set up such a clever plan, how can Li Moumou put his beak on it? Li Moujing waits for Master Ji to complete his great success and wipe out the Japanese pirates in this temple."

Ji Dingzhong smiled triumphantly and said, "Then I will take advantage of Lord Li's auspicious words." After he finished speaking, he said to Han Qusi and Huang Chong: "My lords, let's go to the backyard to meet the elders of each family. Just wait for the Japanese pirates to come to your door?"

Han Qusi and Huang Chong nodded in agreement.Ji Dingzhong said to Li Qiufeng again: "Master Li, please go back and rest. When fighting Japanese pirates, we will naturally stand in front of you. You only need to watch the battle."

Li Qiufeng said: "Everyone has something to do, just go and get busy. Li stays here to watch casually, and will not hinder Master Ji's important affairs."

Ji Dingzhong said: "Master Li is too serious. In this case, Ji and others will retire first."

After the three left, Li Qiufeng pondered for a moment, then walked out of the temple gate.However, although the open space in front of the temple gate is full of wooden houses and wooden cases with various goods and food, there is no one, which looks quite strange.But there were five or sixty people standing in front of the temple gate, and Zhang Baixing was the leader.And Fan Tong, Liao Gang, Yin Tutou, Master Feng and others stood behind him.

Zhang Baixing heard a "squeak" at the temple gate, and then Li Qiufeng came out.He hastily cupped his hands and said, "Why did Master Li come out?"

Li Qiufeng said: "If you have nothing to do, come to the temple gate and have a look."

After he finished speaking, he pointed to the open space in front of the temple gate and said, "Where are those small traders and people watching the fun?"

Zhang Baixing chuckled and said, "These common people stay here to get in the way, Master Ji ordered them to be driven away."

Li Qiufeng said: "It's fine if the people leave. If there is a real fight, if the people stay here, I'm afraid there will be casualties."

Zhang Baixing curled his lips and said, "According to my plan, it is very beneficial for us to keep these people here. First, they won't startle the snakes and make the Japanese pirates vigilant. Second, once they make a move, they will be everywhere here." It’s people, the Japanese pirates are not familiar with the place, so they must be panicked when they see so many people. We are local people, so we can take advantage of the chaos to kill the Japanese pirates, and the chances of winning are much higher.”

Hearing his vicious words, Li Qiufeng thought to himself, among the Nie, Lu, Zhao, and Du families, Zhang Baixing was the most vicious, he did things regardless of the consequences, and only thought of his own gain.If the Nie family's conspiracy succeeds, this person must be a big corrupt official who recommends his life.

Although Li Qiufeng thought this in his heart, his face was as calm as usual.He nodded and said: "Master Zhang is on duty outside the temple, so there must be no flaws. Mr. Li went back first, thank you for your hard work."

After Li Qiufeng finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the temple.I only heard Zhang Baixing say: "Fan Butou, Liao Butou, you two don't have to accompany us here to drink the northwest wind. Why don't you take the brothers from the magistrate's yamen to inspect the temple. If there is any disturbance, I will send People will let you know."

Fan Tong and Liao Gang didn't want to take risks outside the temple at first, but they just saw Ji Dingzhong and Han Qu thinking about the dirty things, and they were afraid that they would unintentionally participate in it, so they listened to Huang Chong's words and rushed outside the temple.It's just that after I got outside the temple, I was always uneasy, for fear that the Japanese pirates would attack suddenly, and I would inevitably become a living target for the Japanese pirates to attack.At this time, after hearing Zhang Baixing's words, the two of them said a few words of courtesy, and then led all the officials from the magistrate's yamen to arrest the police, followed Li Qiufeng, and returned to the temple together.

Li Qiufeng walked around the front yard, and saw Shijiadao, Leiquanmen, and Biyunruthless disciples hiding behind the iron boards on the wooden city, all of them looked nervous.There are more than 100 policemen inside and outside the hall, armed with guns and knives, also waiting in full force.When he got to the backyard, he couldn't help but startled.I saw that the wooden city around the backyard was full of guards, but it was no different from the front yard.But there was no one in the yard, which looked rather strange.
