A knife in love

Chapter 1048

After more than a dozen disciples of Monk Guangzhi retreated, the Japanese pirates' momentum weakened. Although they had an advantage in numbers, they were beaten back and forth by Tolerance arresters.However, these Japanese pirates are after all a battle-tested generation, although they were forced to retreat, but their positions were not chaotic.And when retreating, every five people form a team, each other's horns, cooperate with each other, with the idea of ​​only defending and not attacking, but in the blink of an eye, the situation is reversed.I saw the Japanese pirates forming a circle, their long knives flickering coldly, suppressing the attack of the tolerance police.

After Li Qiufeng beheaded a few Japanese pirates, seeing the Japanese pirates take a few steps back, they immediately formed a team of five people, no longer fighting individually, and tried to attack and kill the single Japanese pirates, but it was too late. impossible things.A few members of Shijiadao's gang didn't know how powerful the Japanese pirates' army was, and they still rushed forward to attack. As a result, they fell into the Japanese pirates' formation and were hacked and killed by the Japanese pirates in an instant.

Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Ji Dingzhong hurriedly yelled at Tolerance Detective and the helpers of Shijiadao, Leiquanmen and Biyunwu to back off.Both sides were exhausted from fighting at this time. Although the Japanese pirates were tough, they were also exhausted at this time.

Seeing this situation, Lord Shidao was in the middle of his heart, and he shouted loudly without waiting for Liu Shengzongyan's order.After hearing the order, the Japanese pirates attacking the main hall retreated slowly, and the Japanese pirates who besieged the Tianshan sect also stopped attacking, watching Taoist Min lead the Tianshan sect disciples back under the stone steps of the main hall.

In a blink of an eye, the two sides retreated three or four feet away, and an open space appeared in the middle.It's just that there were [-] or [-] corpses lying here and there in the open space, but the wounded had been snatched back by their companions.

This bloody battle lasted for more than an hour.Although neither of the two sides is a master of martial arts, the fierceness of this fierce battle is definitely not inferior to any other fights in the Jianghu.Ji Dingzhong stood on the stone steps and saw that although the Japanese pirates retreated, there were still more than [-] people.I saw that the Japanese pirates were all holding long knives, and the coldness of the blades made people palpitate.And there are only more than [-] people left on my own side, and many of them are still injured.If the Japanese pirates make a comeback, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist.

Huang Chong had also retreated to Ji Dingzhong's side at this time, and said in a low voice: "The Japanese pirates have trapped us in the main hall, and it is more difficult to rush out of the temple gate together. I tried my best, but I was still blocked by the Japanese pirates. Right now, it seems that only by letting Li Baihu rush out and bring reinforcements, can we have a chance..."

Before Huang Chong finished speaking, Ji Dingzhong shook his head, glanced at Li Qiufeng who was whispering with Yin Butou under the stone steps, put his mouth next to Huang Chong's ear and said, "Jin Yiwei is acting strangely, we have to guard against it. After the man surnamed Li left, he stood on the sidelines, waiting for us to fight the Japanese pirates, and then he stood up to clean up the mess. Wouldn't we have suffered a big loss? If this kid stays in the temple, the Jinyiwei brigade can't ignore it. At the last moment He will definitely come forward to fight the Japanese pirates. Moreover, this kid is very skilled in martial arts, if he leaves, let alone the old ghost of the Japanese pirates, even Monk Guangzhi, we can't stop him."

Huang Chong looked worried, and said: "That's what I said. But if no one goes to ask for help, wouldn't we be trapped here to death?"

Ji Dingzhong gritted his teeth and said: "Hu Kun, that bastard, we agreed that he would send people to hide near the Town God's Temple. If there was any trouble in the temple, he would bring troops to help. But we fought hard with Japanese pirates here for more than an hour, you But Yangwei's soldiers and horses are nowhere to be seen. Could it be that he has evil intentions and wants to use the hands of Japanese pirates to kill us all?"

Huang Chong and Hu Kun have long secretly formed an alliance to deal with the Nie family in order to protect themselves.Hearing Ji Dingzhong scolding Hu Kun at this time, he thought to himself, originally thought that the Nie family wanted to use the hands of Japanese pirates to wipe out our Lu, Zhao, and Du families.Judging by today's situation, the Nie family really has this intention.It's just that the situation changed suddenly later, so the Nie family had to give up the original plot, and wanted to fight against the Japanese pirates together with the three of us.It stands to reason that Hu Kun should have rushed here with three thousand cavalry, but this person has not shown up for a long time. Is it true that, as Ji Dingzhong said, he is determined to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, waiting for the Japanese pirates to kill everyone in the temple? After the massacre was clean, he came forward to clean up the mess?

Thinking of this, Huang Chong shuddered and said in a trembling voice: "But Uncle Zhao and several elders of the Zhao family were also trapped in the temple with us. He is the patriarch of the Zhao family, and even more so Hu Kun." Uncle. No matter how cruel Hu Kun is, he can't just watch Uncle Zhao and others die at the hands of Japanese pirates, right?"

Ji Dingzhong snorted, and said: "No wonder Baixing said that your mother-in-law and mother can't achieve great things. Don't you know that Hu Kun has been in the officialdom for many years, and has been promoted all the way. How could Hu Kun put him in his eyes? I'm afraid that Hu Kun wished that Uncle Zhao would die one day, and the other elders of the Zhao family would also disappear from this world, leaving him alone, Hu Kun, who could be confident and bold in the officialdom Show your strengths. I originally thought that Hu Kun would not be so anxious to deal with the three of us, but now it seems that I was wrong. He made up his mind to watch a good show and wait for us to die in front of the pirates. Under the sword, he will lead people to destroy the Japanese pirates, which is naturally a great achievement, which is enough to accomplish his great cause. Alas, I only hate that we didn’t know what happened, and made wedding dresses for others for nothing.”

Huang Chong knew that Ji Dingzhong was full of tricks. In addition to trying his best to deal with the Xu family these years, he was thinking about how to suppress the four families of Lu, Zhao, Du and Hua, so that the Nie family would dominate.It's just that Ji Dingzhong has never been so depressed before. Huang Chong was terrified and said in a trembling voice: "Can we just wait for death like this?"

Ji Dingzhong said: "The Japanese pirates are not fools either. They didn't convince us, and they didn't want to fight for both sides. Looking at their appearance, they must have another idea. We just need to delay the time as much as possible. Can’t we just watch the Japanese pirates commit crimes? The boy surnamed Li said that there are reinforcements, and I reckon that the reinforcements he mentioned are Jin Yiwei. Let’s deal with the Japanese pirates and wait for the opportunity to let people rush out of the Chenghuang Temple to ask for help, while staying in the main hall and waiting for the situation There is a change. It is not us who are anxious now, but the Japanese pirates. No matter how fierce these thieves are, this is not the southeast coast, but the hinterland of the Central Plains. There are more than 1000 defenders in the city, and there are many garrisons outside the city."

When Ji Dingzhong said this, he paused for a moment, glanced at Huang Chong, and continued, "The other old nun and Huang Xu's niece also said that the troops of Guidewei and Suiyangwei are also approaching Xiuwu County. Just now, Yun Zhongzi, a big traitor, informed the Japanese pirates and old ghosts, so he would naturally tell about the two guards coming in a big way. As long as we insist on it, the Japanese pirates are afraid that the officers and soldiers will have nowhere to escape, so they have to retreat."

Hearing that what Ji Dingzhong said made sense, Huang Chong was a little relieved.It's just that he accidentally saw more than 30 corpses of Shijiadao, Leiquanmen, and Biyunwu gang members in front of the temple gate, and he was horrified again.Thinking that the Shijiadao and Leiquanmen that the Lu family had been running for many years were almost wiped out, and Biyunwu, which was originally supported by the Du family, also disappeared.The battle suffered heavy losses, even if the Japanese pirates retreated, the Nie family would still refuse to let him go afterwards.Thinking of this, he felt a chill in his heart, and couldn't help but look at Huang Xu who was standing not far away.I saw Huang Xu, Yuan Jue and other nuns of Kule Nunnery standing together, holding long swords, confronting the Japanese pirates.It's just that she would secretly glance at Li Qiufeng from time to time, and then lower her head again.Huang Chong knew that his daughter had a secret affection for this Jinyiwei family surnamed Li, and his heart felt sour, thinking that it would be nothing if he died. If Huang Xu was left to suffer in this world alone, it would be better than killing him ten thousand times. Cutting is even more uncomfortable.In an instant, he secretly made up his mind that even if his life was at risk, he would find a way to get Huang Xu to escape from the Temple of the City God.

Li Qiufeng retreated to the bottom of the stone steps, and saw Yin Butou and Master Feng standing beside him, panting heavily, with sweat on their faces, knowing that the two of them had exhausted their physical strength in the fierce battle.So he walked up to Yin Butou, planning to help Yin Butou resist when the pirates attacked again.Knowing Li Qiufeng's kindness, Catcher Yin was moved, and said: "Thank you for your care, sir, and I am very grateful."

Li Qiufeng shook his head and said: "At first, Li thought that the brothers in the Yamen would not dare to fight against the Japanese pirates, but the fierce battle just now really impressed Li. Although we didn't win, the Japanese pirates didn't take advantage of it. If it wasn't for Everyone will fight to the death and will not retreat, I am afraid that Li has died under the sword of Japanese pirates now."
