A knife in love

Chapter 1098

Li Qiufeng said: "Eunuch's eyes are as bright as a torch, which is admirable. It's just that you guessed wrong. I just passed by here and went ashore to buy wine. If Eunuch has nothing else to do, I will leave now, and I will go far away. Yes, without hindering official business."

After Li Qiufeng finished speaking, he bowed his hands to the man, turned around and was about to leave.But the man behind him said with a sinister smile: "Where do you think this place is, you can come and leave whenever you want? Now it's too late if you want to leave."

Li Qiufeng didn't stop, he walked towards the door and said with a smile: "Now it's just time to hold the lanterns, how can it be too late?"

The tavern was originally not that big, it was only about two feet from the counter to the door.Li Qiufeng walked so fast that he reached the door in the blink of an eye.But at this moment, there was a soft "chi" sound from behind, and a silver light shot towards Li Qiufeng's back heart.

At this time, a person suddenly appeared outside the door.This man was wearing a brocade robe, a gauze hat on his head, and a long sword in his right hand. He looked like an eunuch of Dongchang.I saw his right wrist shaking, and the long sword in his hand was like a pool of autumn water, stabbing straight at Li Qiufeng's chest.

There is a long sword in the front, and silver light in the back. Between the lightning and flint, the distance between the two weapons is less than two inches from Li Qiufeng's chest and the back of his heart.

The man standing behind the counter saw that Li Qiufeng had fallen into a dead end, and he felt complacent, with a sinister smile on the corner of his mouth.

It's just that seeing the silver light about to sink into Li Qiufeng's heart, he just felt that Li Qiufeng disappeared suddenly in front of his eyes.

It's just that the silver light is going fast, although it missed Li Qiufeng, it flew straight to the door.

The Dongchang eunuch who swung his sword at Li Qiufeng from outside the door wanted to pierce a hole in Li Qiufeng's chest with his sword, but just as he was about to succeed, a figure flickered in front of him, and Li Qiufeng disappeared in an instant.

The eunuch's heart trembled, and he was about to rush into the tavern to kill Li Qiufeng, when a silver light came in front of him.The eunuch was startled, and was about to dodge, but felt a cold in his throat, and the silver light had already entered his throat.

The man behind the counter saw that the hidden weapon he fired missed Li Qiufeng, but instead shot an eunuch who intercepted and killed Li Qiufeng outside the door, he was shocked and angry.The eunuch was dumbfounded, his throat rattled, he said "ho ho" twice, his right hand was loosened, and the long sword fell to the ground with a "boom".The eunuch covered his throat with both hands, and stared blankly at the man behind the counter, showing both terrified and angry eyes.Blood seeped out from between the fingers covering his throat, and he heard a "grunt" sound from his mouth, and he fell back straight. With a "plop", he fell under the stone steps, twisted his whole body up and down a few times, and then remained still.

At this time, more than a dozen Dongchang fans had surrounded the tavern, and the surrounding roofs were also full of Dongchang masters.These people held swords in their hands, just waiting for the enemies in the tavern to rush out, and then surrounded them to fight.Unexpectedly, a companion was suddenly attacked and died outside the tavern door without making a sound.Rao, these Dongchang fans are all ruthless and murderous without blinking an eye. Seeing this situation, they are also horrified.

The person behind the counter saw Li Qiufeng hanging on the wall above the door.I saw Li Qiufeng's left hand with five fingers hooked into the wall, and his body was tightly pressed against the wall, like a big gecko, looking at the person behind the counter and sneering.

Knowing that he had encountered a tough hand, the man took a deep breath and said with a sneer, "Okay, it seems that you want to plot against us for a day or two. You know how to deal with the hidden weapons we use, so you don't have to Hid your head and show your tail. Tell us your name, otherwise you will be hacked into pieces, and your accomplices don't know where you have gone, which is a bit regrettable."

Li Qiufeng heard chaotic footsteps coming from outside the tavern, and the roof also kept making noises, knowing that the Dongchang fans had surrounded the tavern.When he returned to Shuzhong this time, he originally planned to no longer participate in the affairs of the rivers and lakes and the court, and to live in seclusion with his master in the mountains and forests, to be a carefree hermit.Although he was not afraid of the eunuchs of Dongchang, he also knew that these eunuchs were all cruel and merciless, and they would take revenge. If he continued to entangle with them, he was afraid that trouble would continue.I can't kill all these eunuchs, as long as I get away with one and report the matter to the governor of the East Factory, the East Factory will definitely ask the governments all over Sichuan to investigate the case.At that time, I will live in seclusion in the mountains of Shu, although I can be at ease, but there will be chaos everywhere in the middle of Shu, and the unlucky ones will be the common people.

Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng threw his body and fell lightly to the ground.The expression of the man behind the counter changed, thinking that Li Qiufeng was going to attack him.Although he only released a hidden weapon just now, and Li Qiufeng didn't use his fists, he has seen that Li Qiufeng is an extremely difficult master, and he is not sure of victory.At this time, seeing Li Qiufeng fall down, he grabbed a palm-sized wine pot on the counter with his left hand, and threw it hard on the ground.There was only a sound of "click", and the jug was smashed to pieces.

At this moment, only two "chi chi" sounds were heard, and the curtain on the corner door leading to the back hall on the left side of the counter had been cut off with a long sword. Tang snatched it out.The long swords in these people's hands flickered coldly, and they stretched out their hands and legs and kicked indiscriminately. In an instant, three or four tables and a dozen chairs were beaten or kicked out.The tavern was completely empty, and these dozen or so eunuchs immediately surrounded Li Qiufeng in the middle, and more than a dozen long swords flashed, pointing at Li Qiufeng's vital points.

Seeing his subordinates surrounded Li Qiufeng, the man behind the counter felt relieved and said with a sneer, "Little brat, report your name. If you can tell where your master is now, you will not only be innocent, but meritorious service."

When he said this, he deliberately sighed, and then said: "Your master is also a nobleman of Tianhuang, even if one day he goes to see Emperor Taizu Gao, he must be wearing a yellow robe, yellow silk is used for hanging beams, and yellow silk is used for drinking. Hedinghong, we are all ants under his feet. It is the royal family's business to invite his old man back to Beijing this time. We slaves are just ordered to run errands. Since you are an official, you should know Is it just the words 'life is hard to break'? As long as you obediently tell the whereabouts of your master, we will guarantee that you will be able to sit on a high-ranking official and ride a fine horse."

Li Qiufeng was startled when he heard the chief eunuch's words, and thought to himself that according to what the eunuch said, they came to Sichuan on business this time, and they wanted to arrest relatives of the emperor.He remembered that there were three princes in Shu, but he didn't know which one they wanted to arrest.But after he thought about it again, he had made up his mind to stay out of the matter, and he didn't need to entangle with these fans any more.Thinking of this, he touched his arms with his right hand.

But just as Li Qiufeng raised his hand, the dozen or so fans around him immediately took half a step back, but the long sword in his hand was stretched forward a few inches.

Li Qiufeng smiled and said, "You don't have to worry, I just want to show you something."

He knew that these fans were extremely suspicious, so after he finished speaking, he stretched his hand into his bosom very slowly.Finally, he took out the badge of Jin Yiwei, held it in his hand, and said to the person behind the counter: "Since my father-in-law is from Dongchang, I naturally know this badge. My father-in-law was ordered to run an errand, and I was also ordered by the Shangguan to come here." Shuzhong is here to handle affairs. Everyone is contributing to the imperial court, so why not turn the road to the sky and each go on one side, what do you think of the father-in-law?"

When the man saw the waist card in Li Qiufeng's hand, he was startled for a moment, and then a sinister look appeared on his face.He laughed loudly and said: "It turns out that you are from Jin Yiwei, no wonder you are so arrogant and domineering!"

After he finished speaking, his face darkened, and he said: "Boy, when Eunuch Liu was in power, Jin Yiwei was just a dog in our East Factory to guard the house. After today's son ascended the throne, he was bewitched by the villain and the palace was abolished." Inner 24 yamen suppressed the Supervisor of Rites and the Supervisor of Horses. But it’s no wonder that you Lord Lu and Lord Yang are the old mansions of today’s vassals. After taking charge of the Jinyiwei, you small fish and shrimps dare to stand in front of our Dongchang High-spirited. Hmph, it’s just that as the saying goes, the higher you climb, the harder you fall. Today we are ordered to go to Beijing to handle errands, so even if Master Yang came in person, he can’t make irresponsible remarks to us.”

While talking, he looked Li Qiufeng up and down, and then said: "Since you are also ordered to do business, we will not make things difficult for you. We are going to handle a big case in Yibin Mansion in the next few days, the farther you go The better, otherwise there will be a conflict, and Yu Dongchang and Jin Yiwei will lose face."

Li Qiufeng withdrew his badge, smiled slightly, and said, "Thank you for your understanding, father-in-law. I will return to the boat and set sail overnight, and I will definitely not make things difficult for my father-in-law."
