A knife in love

Chapter 1517

When Li Qiufeng was watching from the sidelines, he suddenly heard Murong Danyan standing on the top of the tree next to him whispering: "Brother Li, there are no shadows of houses around. It seems that these trees are not tall enough, why don't we climb up to the hill? There will be discoveries."

Li Qiufeng thought for a moment, waved his hand to Murong Danyan, and said, "Let's go down and talk about it."

The two jumped under the tree, and the surrounding area became much brighter.Li Qiufeng said: "The hill in front of me is the old man's mountain that the people in Dongliao County are talking about. Just now I watched from the top of the tree and found that although this hill is not big, it is the highest place here. Surrounded by The outermost part of the forest is the three black walls formed by twining rattan. A few days ago, I looked around at the top of Motianling. I could see Dongliao County and the sea in the distance, but I couldn't see Wangjiazhuang, let alone Wangjiazhuang. Here. Thinking about it now, Liu Sheng Zongyan’s choice of his old nest here was definitely not a whim. He, Liu Shengdan, Ma Shou and others must have traveled many places in order to find a suitable place to resettle their clansmen. This place is not only a legend It is haunted by ghosts, people dare not approach it, and the location is extremely remote and surrounded by forests. Even if you stand on Motian Ridge, you can't see what it looks like. In addition, the land here is black, and it seems to be extremely fertile. The Liusheng family hides here. Plant crops and be self-sufficient. Such a place is exactly the paradise that Yanagyu Zongyan could only dream of.”

When Li Qiufeng said this, he paused for a while, and then continued: "We are located on the west side of Old Man Mountain, and we can see all the flat land at a glance, and we don't see any houses. Liu Sheng's family is hiding here, so they can't live in the open air? There are forests on both sides, and the Fusang people can only live at the head of Laowang Mountain. This hill is the highest point here, and the Liusheng clan will definitely send people to guard the top of the hill. We were spotted by the enemy. If we rush over rashly, we will definitely be spotted by the guards of the Yagyu clan. We don’t know the terrain, and if we get caught in a tight siege, it will be extremely difficult to escape.”

After hearing Li Qiufeng's words, Murong Danyan felt a little anxious, glanced at the direction of Lao Wengshan, and said, "Could it be that we can only hide here and wait for death?!"

Li Qiufeng said: "It's not yet daylight, so we can hide here. When the sun is bright, there must be enemies coming out to patrol, and we can't hide for long. I saw that there were forests on the north and south sides of Old Man Mountain, spreading all the way to the old man. At the foot of the mountain, it doesn't seem like there is a large open space here. We might as well go around to the woods on the north and south sides of Laoweng Mountain. With the cover of the trees, we can quietly go around Laoweng Mountain before dawn. Maybe we will find the settlement of the Liusheng clan place."

Murong Danyan said: "There will be more than one hour, I think it will be dawn in the future, since Brother Li has already made up his mind, let's go now."

The two discussed a few more words, planning to go around to the woods on the south side of Old Man Mountain, and then search eastward.Li Qiufeng told Murong Danyan to be very careful, if he found an enemy, he should not do it first.Hide if you can, avoid if you can, wait until you find the place where the Liusheng clan lives together, and then discuss whether to kill the enemy.

The two of them had made up their minds, and they walked south along the edge of the woods.After about a cup of tea, he had reached the end of the open space.It was only then that the two discovered that the south side of Laoweng Mountain was not a forest at all, but a large piece of jade wheat (author's note: that is, corn. It was introduced to my country during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. It was called "Yu Mai" at that time, and some people called it "Fan Mai". " or "Western Sky Wheat").At this time, the jade wheat is not yet mature, and it is when it is growing vigorously. Each plant is as tall as a person.

Li Qiufeng looked at the large piece of jade and wheat in front of him, and said to Murong Danyan in a low voice: "It turns out that the Liusheng family opened up good fields on the north and south sides of Laoweng Mountain, planted crops, and provided food for the people. Just now we hid in the woods on the west side, looking at it from a distance. Seeing that this place seems to be a low forest, but I didn’t expect it to be a large field. The Fusang people have designed this place so thoroughly, it seems that they have made up their minds to take root here.”

Murong Danyan broke off a stick of jade wheat, put it in front of his eyes, threw it on the ground, and said: "Why don't we go to the black wall to get some rattan poisonous juice, and smear it on the jade wheat. Wait until those villains Wouldn't it be good to harvest the crops, go back and eat them, and die one by one in a daze?"

Li Qiufeng knew that Murong Danyan was just talking casually and didn't really intend to act like this, but he still shook his head and said: "There are only two of us, if we really want to smear all the poisonous juice on this piece of jade wheat, I'm afraid It takes eight years of work as a scholar, but it may not be able to paint it all."

When he said this, he paused for a while, and then continued: "If we can drive away the Liusheng family, the jade and wheat grown in this land will be enough for the people of Dongliao County to eat for several months. The land in Liaodong is fertile, but it is surrounded by these It's really annoying that Fusang villains have taken over."

The two exchanged a few words, then they got into the jade and wheat field and headed eastward.Walking out for about [-] zhang, I felt a bright light in front of my eyes, I had drilled out of the jade wheat field, and there was another large wheat field in front of me, which was much bigger than the jade wheat field that the two of them walked through just now.Li Qiufeng thought to himself, the Fusang people planted crops on the north and south sides of Laoweng Mountain to provide food, but why didn't the large open space on the west side be used for planting jade wheat or wheat, and just throw it there for nothing, wouldn't it be a pity?

The two moved forward again, and after passing through the wheat field, there was another jade wheat field.It's just that this field is much smaller than the previous jade and wheat field.After passing through the field, there is a big pond.The size of this pond is more than ten acres, quietly hidden in the middle of the field.At this time, the sky was not bright, standing on the bank and looking at the pond, I only felt the deep water of the pond, which made people shudder.

Murong Danyan said in a low voice: "It seems that there is really everything here. The old thief Liu Sheng Zongyan dug such a big pond, is it possible that he wants to practice the navy here?"

Li Qiufeng said: "Although this pond is not small, it is far from enough to practice the navy. We walked along the way and saw jade wheat fields and wheat fields. This pond can be used in times of drought. Irrigate the fields, raise fish in the water, and supply food. Liu Sheng Zongyan is not only strong in martial arts, but also knows how to manage the family and the people's livelihood. Although the place is small, it is well managed. If our Ming officials have this kind of thought, what are we afraid of? Tartars, pirates?!"

The two walked around the pond from the south side, but in front of them were rows of green vegetables.Seeing this situation, Murong Danyan was surprised, and couldn't help but said: "These Fusang people really regard this place as their own home, they even grow so many vegetables."

The more Li Qiufeng looked at it, the more frightened he became, thinking to himself that a large number of Fusang people were hiding under the nose of the magistrate's office in Dongliao County, plotting to overthrow Daming.I heard from Li Kuijiu that the Japanese pirates from the southeast coast have also arrived here, and they want to join hands with Liusheng Zongyan to seize Liaodong first, and then enter the pass and go straight to the capital.Seeing that the Yagyu family's lair is so well organized, the strength of this group of Fusang people must not be underestimated.Right now, only myself and Murong Danyan are left to fight against Liu Shengzongyan, and they are far behind in terms of strength.How can you think of a way to let the Liaodong Governor's Yamen and the Liaodong General Army know the situation here, and send troops to exterminate the Japanese pirates?If it was a little later, I'm afraid a big mistake would be made, and a bloodbath would be inevitable.
