A knife in love

Chapter 1085

Yang Zhenzhong seemed to have expected that Li Qiufeng would not agree, so he just let out a faint "oh", and was not too disappointed.

The two of them walked through a long alley and reached a main street, then turned to the right, walked more than a hundred steps, and arrived at the main road leading to Nancheng.At this time, it was the third watch, and the sounds of fighting from the defenders on the city wall could be heard from afar.Yang Zhenzhong said: "This night is so long, it seems like several days have passed. I don't know if the people in Xiuwu County will know that so many things happened in the city overnight when they wake up."

Li Qiufeng said: "It's best not to know, or you will be frightened. No matter how good or bad the world is, the people are always the most unlucky ones. I have been in Xiuwu County for several months, and I have many interactions with the people. In the past, it was said in the book that 'sorry for the people's livelihood' How difficult', I don't know much. It's only when I mix with the people every day that I know how difficult it is for a small family to earn enough food and clothing."

But Yang Zhen thought in the center, what great things can a mother-in-law like you do?You can only be a prodigal son, but you can't become a big climate.He originally wanted to recruit Li Qiufeng for his own use, but he was rejected by Li Qiufeng again and again, and now his heart to take him back to his subordinates also faded.He only heard him say in a deep voice: "I don't know what plans Li Baihu has in the future?"

Li Qiufeng said: "Li doesn't have any plans. When he was in the imperial mausoleum, Lord Duocheng held his hands high and did not make things difficult for Li. From now on, Li will just be a prodigal son, and he will do as he pleases wherever he goes."

When he said this, he paused for a while, and then said: "Maybe I will go to Fusang Country to have a look, but maybe it's not certain."

Yang Zhenzhong was startled, turned his head to look at Li Qiufeng, and said, "Fusang Kingdom? What are you doing there?"

Li Qiufeng said: "I heard that Fusang is just a small country with poor and weak people. However, such a despicable place thousands of miles away has repeatedly dared to attack China. Li is puzzled. If there is a chance in the future , I want to see what kind of place Fusang is.”

Yang Zhenzhong turned his head away, continued walking, and said: "Sometimes I really envy Li Baihu, he can leave whenever he wants, he is at ease."

Li Qiufeng said: "My lord is joking. Compared with my lord, Li is far behind. Looking around the world, I don't know how many people are in awe of my lord. It's just that I have left Jinyiwei, so my lord should stop calling me Baihu .”

Yang Zhenzhong said: "Although you have left Jinyiwei, sometimes the identity of Jinyiwei is still very useful to you. I am confident that you will not do anything to betray Daming. With your name brand, I will still put it in the Jinyiwei archives In the future, it will not be destroyed. In the future, if the brother of Jin Yiwei is in trouble, please also ask Li Bai... Li Daxia is thinking of incense, so he can help."

Li Qiufeng said: "Jin Yiwei has a great reputation, officials and people all over the world are frightened, how can anyone dare to offend Jin Yiwei?"

Yang Zhenzhong said: "You have been working in the Southern Division, and you don't know the dangers of the Northern Division. In fact, there are no fewer than 50 or [-] Jinyiwei who are killed or missing every year. Some of these people mixed with the Tartars, their identities were exposed, and they were attacked by the Tartars. Poisonous hands. Some went to the Japanese pirate village to spy on the military situation and killed for the Japanese pirates. Others were sent to investigate the dirty things of those dirty officials, but they were discovered and ended up with no bones left. Every year at the end of the year , When I wrote off the nameplate of Jinyiwei who died tragically and disappeared, the pen in my hand weighed more than a thousand catties. Sigh."

When Yang Zhenzhong said this, he let out a long sigh.Li Qiufeng suddenly remembered something, and said in his mouth: "I met a Jinyiwei Xiaoqi in Fengmen Village. His surname was Gao Mingcheng. He was ordered to accompany Mrs. Nie more than 40 years ago. He has been lurking in Fengmen Village for these years. I got in touch with him. I was trapped in Fengmen Village a few days ago, and I escaped with his help. I also hope that the Lord can send someone to pick him up, so that he can return to his hometown early and take care of him for the rest of his life."

Yang Zhenzhong said: "Okay, I will write it down."

When the two were talking, they saw the archery tower on the gate of Nancheng from a distance.Yang Zhenzhong said: "Hero Li, I received a secret report from Jinyiwei yesterday that more than a thousand people from Huashan, Kunlun, Qingcheng and other factions gathered outside Nancheng. I guess it was Li Daxia who made an appointment with these Jianghu figures and asked them to stand by outside Nancheng After the Japanese pirates arrived, we should cooperate internally and externally to wipe out the Japanese pirates. However, I have already mobilized the troops of Jinyiwei, Guidewei, and Suiyangwei. If these Jianghu gangs also enter Xiuwu County, it is very easy to conflict with the officers and soldiers. Therefore I sent people to stand guard outside the south city gate to stop them all. These Jianghu figures were rebellious, and they only wanted to rush into the city. Fortunately, Liu Yong of the Huashan faction is indeed a general figure, so he stopped everyone. That's how I avoided a fight. I brought you to Nancheng to tell the leaders of these rivers and lakes sects that the Japanese pirates have already dispersed, and I want them not to enter the city, but to go back to their sects as soon as possible."

Li Qiufeng nodded, and said: "No wonder Mr. Liu and others have not entered the city. It turned out that they were stopped by Mr. Yang."

Yang Zhenzhong said: "It's a good thing that they don't enter the city. Among these sects, there are also scum who have been bribed by Japanese pirates. If they enter the city, not only will they not be able to help, but will cause more trouble. It's just that they don't know how to live or die. Ken left, so I had to ask Li Daxia to persuade them."

Li Qiufeng's heart trembled, and he was about to ask who the Japanese pirates' undercover agents were, when he suddenly remembered Yun Zhongzi, the head of the Tianshan School.Even the head of the Tianshan faction, who has such a high martial arts status in the Jianghu, was bought by the Japanese pirates. It is not uncommon for some of the other gangs to collude with the Japanese pirates.

When the two of them reached the gate of the city, they saw more than a hundred soldiers standing at the gate of the city, all of them wearing armor and holding knives and guns.Li Qiufeng saw that these soldiers were different from the soldiers defending the city, they were much more powerful and majestic.Yang Zhenzhong seemed to have guessed what Li Qiufeng was thinking, and said to him: "These are soldiers from Guidewei and Suiyangwei. After they arrived at Xiuwu County, they took over the four city gates. If only relying on Xiuwu County For those old, weak and remnant soldiers, I am afraid that this city has long been trampled down by the Japanese pirates."

Li Qiufeng thought that Yang Zhenzhong had planned well, and compared with him, he was far behind.If it wasn't for Jin Yiwei's preparations and the deployment of Guidewei and Suiyangwei's soldiers, even if he fought the Japanese pirates in the Chenghuang Temple, the people of Xiuwu County would have died and injured countless times.He raised his head and looked up the city, but he saw that the city was densely covered with soldiers, which were completely different from those idle and boring soldiers in ordinary times.

Seeing Yang Zhenzhong and Li Qiufeng approaching, a military officer leading the team raised his right hand, and all the soldiers pointed their swords and guns at them.The military officer drew out his steel knife and said loudly to the two of them: "Stop! You disobeyed the curfew, and you are guilty of unforgivable crimes! Why don't you kneel down and obey?!"

Yang Zhenzhong took out a bronze medal from his pocket with his right hand, held it in front of his body, and said to the military officer: "This is my badge, come and have a look."

The military officer waved his right hand, and all the soldiers shouted, rushed up immediately, surrounded Li Qiufeng and Yang Zhenzhong, and pointed their knives and guns at their vital points.Then the military officer stepped forward, took the torch from a soldier with his left hand, held it in front of Yang Zhenzhong, and carefully looked at the bronze medal.When he saw the handwriting on the bronze medal clearly, his expression changed drastically, and he knelt down on the ground with a "plop", and said in his mouth: "The humble post belongs to the German guard Baihu Wang Wei, and I pay my respects to your lord."

After Wang Wei knelt down, more than a hundred soldiers surrounding Li Qiufeng and Yang Zhenzhong also knelt down.

Yang Zhenzhong took the bronze medal back into his arms, and said to Wang Wei: "Wang Baihu, please stand up. How is the situation outside the city?"

Wang Wei stood up and said respectfully: "My lord, my lord Qianhu Su Kun, together with Jin Yiwei Shi Qianhu and other lords, have been guarding outside the city. Those quacks made a lot of noise at first, but then they stopped. It’s just that these people didn’t retreat, they still gathered outside the city.”

Yang Zhenzhong nodded and said: "Open the city gate, I will go out and have a look."

Wang Wei agreed, ran to the city gate cave by himself, and pulled the city gate together with a dozen soldiers.Just listening to the continuous sound of "Guai Gui", the heavy city gate slowly opened.

Yang Zhenzhong and Li Qiufeng walked out of the city gate side by side, and saw hundreds of soldiers lined up more than a hundred paces outside the city gate.And behind the soldiers, there were dozens of Jinyiwei wearing flying fish uniforms.When these people heard the sound of the city gate opening, they all turned their heads to look.Seeing that Yang's epicenter had arrived, he immediately fell to his knees.

After Jin Yiwei and a group of soldiers fell to their knees, Li Qiufeng's eyes suddenly widened.I saw a large group of people standing hundreds of steps away.These people lit dozens of big fires and were surrounding themselves by the fire to keep warm.Many people saw the city gate open and immediately looked towards the city gate.
