A knife in love

Chapter 236

Liu Yong saw that Guan Ping was coughing continuously and his face showed pain, so he hurried forward and reached out to support Guan Ping.

Guan Ping covered his mouth lightly with his right hand, then put his hands in his sleeves, cupped his hands at Liu Yong and the others, and said, "Guan is plagued by a serious illness, it's rude, please don't make fun of me."

Liu Yong and the others returned the courtesy one after another, and gave in a few words.It's just that these people are all masters, and when Guan Ping covered his mouth just now, he held a piece of white silk with his right hand and covered his mouth lightly. When he took it away, the white silk was dyed a lot of red. When he coughed, he coughed up blood.Thinking of this, my heart trembles.

Li Qiufeng saw the heads of various factions exchanging greetings with Guan Ping, and inadvertently looked at the people behind Guan Ping.I saw these dozen or so people were all wearing black robes, presumably they were all Guan Ping's disciples.Most of these people are in their 20s, some of them have sloppy feet, and some of them still have bruises on their faces.But when he saw the last person, Li Qiufeng couldn't help being startled.

I saw the man wearing a deep hat on his head, dressed in black, and holding a very wide long sword with a sheath in his right hand.Although he couldn't see this person's face clearly at this time, Li Qiufeng was quite familiar with that sword.

This long sword is exactly the long sword used by Xiao Zhanpeng, and the blade is far wider than the long swords used by people in the Jianghu.This is because the Xiao family's Fenglei swordsmanship is fierce and fierce, and it is necessary to use this wide-edged long sword to unleash the storm-like power of the Fenglei swordsmanship.

Li Qiufeng looked at this person carefully, but saw that this person raised his head inadvertently, and was meeting Li Qiufeng face to face. It wasn't Xiao Zhanpeng but who was it?

When Xiao Zhanpeng saw Li Qiufeng, he was slightly taken aback.Li Qiufeng gently pulled down the gray cloth covering his face with his right hand, exposing half of his face.Xiao Zhanpeng's expression changed, showing surprise.Li Qiufeng winked at him hastily, and then pulled the gray cloth up, covering most of his face.

Knowing that Li Qiufeng wanted to hide his identity, Xiao Zhanpeng would agree, but nodded slightly, and turned his head away again.

The seat of the Taishan School is at the head of the Huashan School.After Guan Ping exchanged a few words with the heads, the man in gray led Guan Ping and the others to their seats and sat down.Only then did Li Qiufeng realize that the seats of the righteous factions are all on the right side of the big house, while the left side is full of seats for some evil faction masters and green forest figures. A lot of work.Such care is taken in the subtleties, so it can be seen that the plot must be an earth-shattering event.In the row of tables and chairs on the right, the Taishan faction sat at the third table, but there was no one behind the first and second tables.The chairs behind the first and second tables on the left were also empty. Sitting behind the third table was Lu Heng, the head of the Eagle Claw Sect, and behind the fourth table was Sun Ze.

Seeing that the front two tables on the left and right sides are always empty.Li Qiufeng thought to himself: "Look at the arrangement of Shajiabao, the seats are arranged according to the reputation, status and martial arts of each faction in the Jianghu. Taishan faction in the Jianghu, in terms of name, is only inferior to Shaolin. Wudang and Wudang are just slightly lower, keeping pace with Huashan, Songshan and other gangs. Could it be that the first two tables are reserved for the two major sects of Shaolin and Wudang?"

While he was thinking, more than a dozen gangs arrived.Seeing Xiao Zhanpeng standing opposite him, Li Qiufeng winked at him and motioned him to go out and talk.Li Qiufeng looked around and saw that everyone didn't care, so he walked out quietly against the wall.At this time, there was a lot of noise in the big house, and there were more than 1000 people crowded.Li Qiufeng was just an ordinary quack guy following Sun Ze, so naturally no one paid attention to his whereabouts.

When he walked out of the big house, he saw that two to three thousand people had crowded into the originally empty courtyard.Presumably because of the limited space in the big house, the gang leaders only brought their cronies in, and the other disciples had to wait in the yard.Most of these Jianghu men are rough and bold people, who don't know any etiquette, talking and laughing in the courtyard without any scruples.So there was a lot of voices and chaos.

Li Qiufeng stood at the door for a while, but Xiao Zhanpeng also came out quietly.The two looked at each other, then walked towards the right side of the yard as if nothing had happened.Here is a meadow with more than a dozen flowering trees.It was late autumn at this time, and the leaves on the flower trees had fallen clean.All the heroes crowded in front of the big house, but there was no one on the grass.

The two walked under a flower tree, and seeing no one was looking around, Li Qiufeng pulled down the cloth on his face, and said to Xiao Zhanpeng, "Brother Xiao, why are you here?"

Xiao Zhanpeng said: "Shortly after you left, more than a dozen men in gray clothes came down the slope, claiming to be family members of Shajiabao, and wanted to invite all heroes to Shajiabao. The first ones invited were Kunlun, Qingcheng , Songshan and other sects, and then people from Shajiabao continued to come to invite. Some sects are afraid and dare not go to Shajiabao, but those people in gray are not reluctant. Waiting at the foot of the mountain, I didn't want to go to Shajiabao. It's just that the head of the Taishan School arrived later. He had a long-standing friendship with my father and took good care of Xiao. He recognized Xiao, so he invited Xiao to go with him. I think I can Follow him into the Shajiabao, and you can find out a lot of news, so I followed him to the castle, and I didn't expect you to come here, brother Li."

Li Qiufeng briefly described the situation after the two left, and finally said: "Have all the gangs at the bottom of the mountain gone up the mountain?"

Xiao Zhanpeng said: "Although some people slipped away, most of them have already arrived. It looks like there are 4000 or [-] people. Brother Li, this matter is quite strange. We originally thought it was Miss Murong who challenged Sha Yiming, which attracted so many Jianghu Characters came to watch. But now, I'm afraid it's not that simple..."

Li Qiufeng said: "Brother Xiao, what's your opinion?"

Xiao Zhanpeng smiled slightly, and said: "It's not a good idea. Brother Li, you might as well think about it. After we left the imperial tomb, we went through the battle of Yong'an City, and then arrived here. It took only ten days. But among the gangs at the foot of the mountain, Some are from Lingnan, some are from Qinghai. Even if these people rode fast horses, it would take at least half a month to arrive here. It can be seen that the people who summoned a group of heroes to come here must have a plan long ago, not from us After escaping from the imperial mausoleum, the idea of ​​summoning the heroes to this place came into being. When Xiao was at the foot of the mountain, he once asked Guan Ping, Guan Shishu, the head of the Taishan School. The family castle had some important business to discuss, and did not mention the martial arts competition. It was only after they got down the mountain that they heard that someone was going to challenge Sha Yiming. According to Xiao, more than half of the heroes who came here It was not to watch this duel, but at least one month ago, they were invited to come to Shajiabao. As for those who escaped from the Imperial Tomb and Yong'an City with us, they only heard about it. After this duel, they rushed here. Otherwise, they were almost sealed up in the Underworld, and they were surrounded by heavy siege in Yong'an City. They finally escaped from the sky, so how could they take such a risk to come here? Think about the mastermind behind it. Unwilling to let the heroes escape from Yong'an City, they made up rumors that a mysterious master challenged Sha Yiming to attract the heroes to Shajiabao."

Hearing Xiao Zhanpeng's detailed analysis, Li Qiufeng couldn't help nodding and smiling and said, "Brother Xiao has a good idea, and Li suddenly understood. The matter is probably as Brother Xiao said. The master plan was so meticulous, and the arrangement was seamless. A huge force in the middle. Li thought that Liu Sheng Zongyan was probably behind the tricks."

Xiao Zhanpeng nodded and said: "It seems that tricking the heroes into the imperial mausoleum is just one of Liu Shengzongyan's means. The Shajiabao meeting was also planned by him long ago. Thinking back more than ten years ago, Liu Shengzongyan The masters of Jinyiwei and Dongchang led the group of heroes to enter the Xingxian King's Tomb to rob the tomb. They were also divided into several teams, and they did not communicate with each other. The same. He arranged this way, on the one hand, to disperse the group of heroes, so that it is easy to attack each of them. On the other hand, he can also provoke them and reap the benefits of the fisherman."

Li Qiufeng was stunned, and said: "Liu Sheng Zongyan wanted to disperse the heroes, this is not difficult to understand. It's just that he provoked it and reaped the benefits of the fisherman, but Li hasn't noticed it yet."

Xiao Zhanpeng said: "Although Uncle Guan Shi didn't tell me the details, I looked at him as if he was seriously injured, so I kept my mind on it. When I went up the mountain, I chatted with a disciple of his sect, and he said that he slipped his tongue It turns out that half a year ago, the Five Elders of Mount Tai suddenly launched an attack, arrested Guan Shishu and his disciples, and locked them in a very secret cave on Tianzhu Peak in Mount Tai. But the five elders of Mount Tai did not dare to do so because the Mo Yujian, the token of the sect leader, was not found. Killing Uncle Guan Shi. Half a month ago, a mysterious master suddenly rescued Uncle Guan Shi and others, and escorted them all the way here. These people promised Uncle Guan Shi that they would help him get rid of the five elders of Mount Tai and control the Taishan faction. Brother Li, these Someone took advantage of the internal strife in the Taishan faction to invite Uncle Guan Shi here, but he may not have any good intentions."
