A knife in love

Chapter 1056

Everyone listened attentively, only to hear the sound of arrows piercing the sky outside the yard.Shouts and curses continued to come in.The more people listened, the more frightened they became. Many people trembled slightly and almost covered their ears, unable to bear to listen any longer.

I don't know how long it took, but the screams suddenly stopped.After a while, the sound of the arrow piercing the air disappeared suddenly.The calm outside the Town God's Temple was restored, but the surrounding night sky was still bright red by the fire.At this time, snowflakes had already accumulated a thick layer on the top of the gate and the wall of the Town God's Temple, reflecting each other with the blood-red night sky. The situation was extremely strange.

The people in the yard couldn't hear the movement outside the temple, and felt even more uneasy.

Liu Sheng Zongyan held an umbrella in his left hand, turned to Xu Chengsi and said, "Mr. Xu, where did you go just now? Do you know which group of people came from outside?"

Xu Chengsi said: "The little thief who fought with Master Guangzhi was Jinyiwei Baihu. I was worried that his accomplice was ambushing outside the temple, so I went out for a walk and wanted to find out the situation. But after walking not far, I found that our guards All the brothers outside the temple disappeared. I knew the momentum was wrong, and I was about to rush back to report when I was suddenly attacked by the enemy. These people are powerful in martial arts, and their attacks are vicious. I fought dozens of moves with them, and the more I fought, the more frightened I became. Fortunately, it was dark, so I took advantage of the darkness and fled into an alley. Although the enemy came after me, I have lived in Xiuwu County for more than a month, and I am very familiar with the terrain and roads around the Town God's Temple. Edom Turning westward, I managed to throw the enemy far away. But in order to confuse the opponent, I dare not turn around the Temple of the City God along the main road, so I had to flee north first, then turn westward, and finally circle south again. This is a big circle , After throwing off the enemy, I have fled to the vicinity of the county government office.

"It's just that I just got out of the alley, but I found that the county government office was brightly lit, and countless soldiers and horses had gathered. I was shocked, so I had to retreat into the alley again. Hearing the military officer leading the soldiers shouted orders, it turned out to be Raid on the Town God's Temple. I knew the situation was not good, so I hurried back to report to Mr. Liu. However, along the way, I encountered several teams of officers, soldiers and horses approaching the Town God's Temple from different directions. I had to go around all the way to avoid The officers and soldiers finally came around from the north side of the Town God's Temple. The Town God's Temple sits east and faces west. When I rushed to the front of the temple, the south and west sides were blocked by the officers and soldiers. Yes. When I was tens of feet away from the temple gate, I heard officers and soldiers shooting arrows. When I arrived in front of the temple gate, I happened to meet Master Guangzhi, and we fled into the temple together.”

Liu Sheng Zongyan nodded after hearing Xu Chengsi's words, and said, "So that's the case. Mr. Xu is a young hero, he is thoughtful, and he doesn't hesitate to risk his life. I admire you."

When Xu Chengsi saw Liu Sheng Zongyan talking, his expression was indifferent, his eyes looked at him, and he seemed to be able to see through his own thoughts, so he felt a little uneasy.Fortunately, Liu Sheng Zongyan only glanced at him, and then turned his head to whisper to Master Shi, Xu Chengsi felt a little relieved.

Ji Dingzhong listened carefully for a while, but there was no movement outside the temple.Huang Chong glanced at Ji Dingzhong, his face was livid, and he whispered, "Uncle Zhao is finished."

Ji Dingzhong snorted and said: "He ran away alone regardless of the friendship between our five families, can you still feel sorry for him?"

Huang Chong felt cold, thinking to himself, if it wasn't for your Nie family's domineering and domineering all these years, forcing the four of us to unite to protect ourselves, why would the Zhao family run away in such a hurry?It's just that the Lu and Zhao families have been destroyed now. Although I am a descendant of the Du family, there are not many members of the clan left.At this time, you must not offend the Nie family, otherwise it is nothing if you are in trouble, I am afraid that Ji Dingzhong will not let Huang Xu go.So Huang Chong didn't dare to refute, so he had to keep silent.

At this moment, Liu Sheng Zongyan suddenly heard a loud voice: "Mr. Nie, it seems that we have all been fooled. The old man wants to negotiate a deal with you. I wonder if you are interested in listening?"

When Liu Shengzongyan said this, not only Ji Dingzhong, Huang Chong, Min Daoshi and others were taken aback, but even the always calm old Mrs. Nie changed his expression.He looked at Liu Sheng Zongyan, as if he wanted to guess what he was thinking from this person's expression.After a while, Mrs. Nie said in a deep voice: "Mr. Liu, this old man can't understand what you said. You have spent countless efforts this time, trying to plot against our Fengmen Village. Now this old man has become a turtle in a urn, but you How can there be such a good thing in the world if you suddenly want to negotiate a deal with us?"

Liu Sheng Zongyan smiled, and said: "Mr. Nie's eyes are bright, we don't need to go around any more. Although the old man has calculated everything, he still fell into a trap. Mr. Nie has worked so hard to kill two birds with one stone." , But at the moment, it seems that it may be a dream come true. Why don't we join hands and defeat the enemy who secretly plots against us first, and then talk about our major issues. "

Before Mrs. Nie could speak, Liao Dagang, the deputy chief arrester of Luoyang prefect's yamen, couldn't bear it any longer.Pointing at Liu Sheng Zongyan with the steel knife in his right hand, he said angrily: "Shameless Japanese pirates, even in this situation, they still don't forget to lie and intimidate! Our reinforcements have arrived, and you still want to make peace with us, it's really ridiculous. "

Liu Sheng Zongyan glanced at Liao Dagang, his face was full of disdain.He said: "Reinforcement? Hehe, if it was really your reinforcements, why did you shoot those bald donkeys?! Even if those bald donkeys were unlucky, they were accidentally killed in the dark. But just now these 80 or [-] people walked out swaggeringly, Still being shot to death, it can be seen that these people outside the temple are definitely not your helpers."

When Liu Sheng Zongyan said this, he paused for a while, seeing Liao Dagang's embarrassed expression, he smiled contemptuously, and continued: "Of course, they are not our helpers."

Liu Sheng Zongyan turned his head to look at Mrs. Nie while talking, and said in his mouth: "Mr. Nie, the enemy is powerful. Neither you nor I have any chance of winning against the enemy alone. But if we join hands, we will surely win the battle." The enemy has been defeated and defeated. After the enemy retreats, I will return to the east immediately, and I will never get involved in Fengmen Village again. As for the money that you have not paid to the island owner, I will pay it back for you. Mr. Nie , I don't know what you want?"

Mrs. Nie sneered, and said: "Mr. Liu, I was an official in the court in the past. Although I did nothing and was ashamed of the emperor and the people, there is one thing that I will never forget. No matter how violent our Han affairs are, it is also Brothers and sisters messing around with housework, even if they are beaten badly, or even killed, it is our own business. It seems that you are just a savage from a small country, disregarding the kindness of the Chinese kingdom for thousands of years, all day long Trying to conspire against the Ming Dynasty. No matter how unworthy the old man is, he will never be a traitor! Even if there are thousands of troops from outside the temple, they want to trample us into meat paste, but let us join forces with you Japanese pirates, it is impossible to even think about it! "

Mrs. Nie's words were impassioned, and all the police officers were worried, but after hearing Mrs. Nie's words, their morale was immediately boosted.Although Li Qiufeng was extremely jealous of Mrs. Nie, he was also a little moved at this moment, thinking that although the Nie family's behavior was weird, this momentum had to be admired.

Liu Sheng Zongyan was refuted by Mrs. Nie, but his face was as usual, and he said in a deep voice: "Mr. Nie has been ups and downs for decades, and he has indeed cultivated a sharp tongue. I admire, admire. In this way, we are fine." It’s easy to talk about. We have to offend Old Mr. Nie first, and then deal with the enemies outside the temple, lest you make trouble behind us when we fight out of the temple.”

Island Master Shi couldn't hold back any longer, upon hearing Liu Shengzongyan's words, he immediately raised his sword and gave orders repeatedly.

Although Liao Gangang, Yin Tutou, Feng Shiye and others didn't know what Master Shidao was talking about in Fusang dialect, they could guess from his appearance that he was ordering the Japanese pirates to attack the main hall.Therefore, without waiting for the order from Old Master Nie and Ji Dingzhong, the three of them raised their weapons and ordered the policemen from Luoyang Mansion and Xiuwu County to hurry up and prepare to meet the enemy.

At this moment, the Japanese pirates suddenly dispersed, and more than 100 Japanese pirates bent their bows and set arrows, and the arrows pointed at the people in front of the hall.

Catcher Yin saw that the situation was not good, and was about to warn everyone to be careful, when he heard a strange cry from Island Master Shi, the Japanese pirates immediately shot arrows.At this time, the distance between the two sides was only more than ten zhang, more than a hundred feathered arrows flew towards them, and more than 20 Tolerance arresters fell down immediately.Fortunately, everyone was already on guard, and they used their swords, iron rulers, water and fire roots, etc. to block the flying feather arrows.Otherwise, I am afraid that the casualties will be even more serious.
