A knife in love

Chapter 178

Li Qiufeng said: "Yang Zhenzhong is very wise and scheming, he is not someone who can be easily deceived. Brother Murong, you must have fought against him before."

Murong Danqing smiled slightly, and said: "It's not a fight, it's just a move."

Murong Danyan's complexion changed, and he said worriedly: "Who will win and who will lose?"

Murong Danqing took off the bamboo hat from her head and put it on his own, then he smiled and said: "He lost."

When he said this, his face was calm, without any joy.Li Qiufeng's heart was shaken.Although Murong Danqing's words are an understatement, but against a master like Yang Zhenzhong, defeating him with one move, the process will definitely be soul-stirring.It's just that the young man didn't seem to take it seriously.Compared with this meditation effort, I am far behind.

Li Qiufeng said: "Although these people have left, they must still stay in Yong'an City. The rebels outside the city have gathered in large numbers. Although they suffered a small defeat, they are not injured. I want to go outside the city to see Seeing the leader of the rebel army. It would be best if he could be persuaded to stop the army, but if he insisted on going his own way, he would have to take his head. Killing a person is better than leaving corpses lying around and being used by these court bosses."

Murong Danqing nodded and said: "Brother Li is right. Sometimes, a sword is more useful than a tongue. But there must be many dangers outside the city, I will go with you."

Li Qiufeng shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "Right now, dragons and snakes are mixed in the city, Yang Zhenzhong has not left, and Liu Shengzongyan's whereabouts are even more strange. This person is extremely difficult to deal with. If he makes trouble in the city, Huashan, Qingcheng, Kunlun, Taishan, etc. None of the factions are his opponents. Brother Murong staying in the city can deter the crowd and make them dare not act rashly. Although there are thousands of troops outside the city, I will deal with it carefully. I will leave as soon as I want. They can't help me either."

Murong Danqing saw that he spoke resolutely, so he could only nod his head.Murong Danyan was about to speak, when Li Qiufeng said: "Miss Murong, going to the big army camp is different from the past. I am alone, and I can come and go freely even in the face of thousands of troops. If the girl goes together, the other party will There are so many people, it's not easy to hide your whereabouts. Please stay in the city and help Brother Murong."

Murong Danyan said anxiously: "You are afraid that I will get in your way, aren't you?"

Li Qiufeng thought in his heart that thousands of people surrounded the rebel camp outside the city, how could I have the energy to protect you?It's just that although I thought so in my heart, I couldn't say it out. When I was thinking about how to deal with it, I heard Murong Danqing say: "Dan Yan, brother Li is right. To deal with these hundreds of rebels, you must concentrate on it, and you can't divide it." Heart. If you go with Brother Li, he will be distracted to take care of you. If you don’t deal with it well, you may not be able to get out. This is a military and state matter, so don’t be negligent.”

Murong Danyan had no choice but to give up, and said to Li Qiufeng: "Brother Li, you have to be careful. With your martial arts, no matter how many rebels there are, you will be fine. I am worried about Liu Sheng Zongyan, who is ruthless and will use any means to achieve his goals. , even his own daughter can be betrayed. If you see him, you must be careful."

Li Qiufeng nodded and said, "Thank you for reminding me, Miss. Li will leave the city right now."

He bid farewell to the Murong brothers and sisters, and immediately left the old shop of the Gu family.Just now when he was at the Dongcheng tower, he had already heard that the rebels had gathered under the Dongcheng city. Although there were rebels on the north, west and south sides, they were only feigning attacks with very few troops.He stood in front of the old Gu's store and thought for a moment, then rushed to the west city.

There are only more than 200 guards on the towers of the West City, but there are more than a hundred heroes of the rivers and lakes led by the Taishan faction to help defend the city.Li Qiufeng didn't want to make a fuss, so he found a gap where the defenders were negligent, used lightness kung fu to jump over the city wall, and slipped out of the city without a sound.

Li Qiufeng escaped the sergeants patrolling the rebels outside the city, ran five or six miles away, far away from the rebel camp in the west of the city, and then turned southward.Then he went around the rebel camp in Nancheng and made a big circle before arriving at the rebel camp in Dongcheng.At this time, most of the lights in the rebel camp had been extinguished, and only two large lanterns were hung on the watchtowers on both sides of the camp gate.The sound of Diao Dou's knocking could be heard in the distance, but there was no other sound.

Li Qiufeng walked around under the fence outside the camp, and entered the village after a few ups and downs.He avoided several teams of patrolling soldiers, and quietly approached the largest tent.It was only when he got to the vicinity that he found that the tent was surrounded by soldiers, all of them armed with knives and guns. The guards were so strict that they couldn't get close at all.

Li Qiufeng hid behind a tent, poked his head out to spy on the big tent, tried hard to find a way to get into the tent, but he was at a loss what to do.At this moment, I suddenly saw a middle-aged man dressed as a servant rushing over with a food box. Li Qiufeng's heart moved, and he followed him diagonally. Going forward to touch his "Tanzhong acupoint", the man fell limply to the ground without making a sound, and the food box in his hand fell to the ground.

Li Qiufeng was quick with his hands and eyes, grabbed the food box with his left hand, and held the man under his ribs with his right hand, walked quietly to an open space, pulled out a long knife, pressed it on the man's neck, and said in a low voice: " If you make a sound, my knife will press down, and your head will be gone."

The man's whole body was so weak that he couldn't speak, but he could hear these words clearly. He felt the cold blade pressing on his neck, and his liver and gallbladder were torn apart with fright.Li Qiufeng unlocked his acupuncture points and asked in a low voice, "Who are you?"

The man tremblingly said: "I, I am the general's cook..."

Li Qiufeng said: "It's so late, where are you going?"

The cook said: "The general wants supper every night. I just made it for him and I am about to send it to the big tent. The villain is just a cook and has never offended anyone. I beg the hero grandpa to spare the villain's life... ..."

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Li Qiufeng clicked on several acupoints on him, and the cook immediately fainted to the ground.Li Qiufeng stripped off the apron and long gown that the cook was wearing, and put them all on himself, and put the cook's hat on his head, and lowered the brim of the hat very low, covering his eyes.Then he tore off the sleeve of the chef's underwear, covering most of his face.He stuffed the long knife into the apron and tied it tightly around his waist with a cloth belt, then picked up the food box and walked towards the big tent.

When they reached the main entrance of the big tent, the soldiers guarding in front of the tent immediately became alarmed.Seeing Li Qiufeng approaching, a leader of the soldiers greeted him with a smile and said, "Old Zhou, tonight's supper is delivered a bit late, aren't you afraid that the general will hit your army stick?!"

Li Qiufeng responded vaguely.A soldier said: "Old Zhou, what's wrong with your face? And why is your leg limping? Could it be that you went to attack the city today?"

As soon as his words fell, all the soldiers laughed out loud.Li Qiufeng said in a hoarse voice on purpose: "It's really bad luck. When I was boiling the water, I accidentally knocked over the kettle and burned my face and legs. I was afraid of delaying the general's supper, so I had to bandage it and come here."

The leader didn't doubt it, and said to Li Qiufeng: "You'd better go in quickly, otherwise the general will really beat you with a military stick."

Li Qiufeng nodded, and hurried into the big tent with the food box.I saw that the lights in the big tent were brightly lit, and the furnishings were quite simple. There was only a long table in the middle, with a map spread on the table, and soldiers, orders and arrows.A stout military officer was pacing slowly in the tent with his hands behind his back. It was Sang Liangtian that he had seen in the imperial tomb that night.

Li Qiufeng walked a few steps quickly, put the food box on the table, and was about to pretend to open the food box, but he heard Sang Liangtian say: "You put it here, don't open it yet."

Li Qiufeng hastily put the food box aside, and was about to take out the long knife from the gown to restrain Sang Liangtian, when he heard footsteps, and then someone said outside the tent: "General Qi, General Liu Shen will ask to see you."

Sang Liangtian stopped, thought for a moment, and said to the outside account: "Let him in."

"Yes!" The person outside the tent replied, and then the curtain of the tent door was pulled open, and a soldier walked in with a military officer in full armor.

The soldier clasped his fists at Sang Liangtian, then turned around and walked out of the big tent.

I saw that the military officer was not tall, but extremely solid.His face was full of flesh, and his armor clattered as he walked. It was obvious that he was an extremely sturdy figure.

He walked to the middle of the big tent, clasped his fists to Sang Liangtian and said, "Liu Hong, the lowly post, see the general!"

Sang Liangtian looked at him and said, "It's so late, what is General Liu Shen doing?"

Liu Hongdao: "General Qi, my soldiers from the left battalion besieged Yong'an City tonight, killing more than 200 brothers and injuring more than 100 people. It stands to reason that it is common for soldiers to eat food, and it is normal to be killed or injured on the battlefield. It's just that The battle is a bit useless, and the brothers are a little confused, so I have to come to the general to ask the general for an explanation, so that the brothers can understand."
