A knife in love

Chapter 2360
Thinking of this, Xiao Dong was pleasantly surprised, and said in a low voice: "Thank you, Lord Li, for your fulfillment. In the future, if my lord has orders, I will do my best to help you."

Xiao Dong originally called himself a villain in front of Li Qiufeng, that was because although he was a duck to water in the officialdom in the capital, he was only an official after all, not a high-ranking official.Xiao Dong flaunts his power in front of shopkeeper Hu and others, and always regards himself as a Beijing official, but he never dares to be arrogant in front of Li Qiufeng, Xu Yingyang and others, and can only call himself a villain.But at this time, he made up his mind to defect to Xu Yingyang's family and fight for an official position of fourth or fifth rank. Satisfied, he was no longer as cautious as before in front of Li Qiufeng, and no longer called himself a villain, but used the "lower level" "official" himself.

After Xiao Dong finished speaking, he cupped his hands towards Li Qiufeng, turned around and walked to the city wall, grabbed a crack in the stone with both hands, and climbed up the city with hands and feet together.Although Xiao Dong's martial arts are far inferior to Xu Yingyang's, his lightness kung fu is not weak either. If he wants to use lightness kung fu to climb to the top of the wall, although he can't be as unrestrained as Xu Yingyang, he doesn't have to climb the wall so clumsily.It's just that he wanted to curry favor with Xu Yingyang, so he purposely hid his clumsiness in front of Xu Yingyang.

Li Qiufeng saw Xiao Dong staggering and crawling towards the wall, so he naturally guessed his intentions, he was quite disdainful, turned his head and said to Murong Danyan and others: "Everyone goes to the city one by one, and Li is the Queen of the palace."

Murong Danyan and the others didn't give in either, first the twelve nuns of Yongtai Temple performed lightness kung fu and jumped up to the top of the wall, then Master Miaohui and Murong Danyan supported Wang Xiaoyu from left to right, and then stood up Followed her to fly to the city.Wang Xiaoyu only felt his body lighten up, like flying through the clouds and riding the fog, and he reached the city without any effort.She was extremely envious, as soon as her feet landed on the ground, she grabbed Murong Danyan's arms and said in a trembling voice: "Sister Murong, just teach me how to lighten my body! If I continue to delay, I'm afraid I will go crazy Impossible!"

Seeing Wang Xiaoyu's appearance like this, Murong Danyan was both angry and funny, thinking that there are many crises at the moment, but younger sister Xiaoyu only wants to practice martial arts and doesn't know the priority of the matter.Just wanting to scold Wang Xiaoyu a few words, Murong Danyan couldn't bear it anymore, so he could only whisper: "Just don't worry. After we kill the Japanese pirates, I will definitely teach you Qinggong."

While the two girls were talking in a low voice, Qi Jiu and Li Qiufeng also climbed onto the top of the wall one after another.After all the Jin Yiwei guarding the city had climbed to the top of the city, the crowd quietly climbed down from the other side of the city wall.I saw that the city of Dongliao County was pitch black, and the surroundings were silent, giving a rather eerie feeling.Three Jin Yiwei walked in the front, and when they walked five or six feet away, two more Jin Yiwei followed.Immediately afterwards, the two Jinyi guards jumped up to the houses on the left and right sides, and disappeared silently in the darkness.Only then did Xu Yingyang lead Li Qiufeng and others along an alley.The remaining five Jin Yiwei walked at the end and stood behind everyone.

Li Qiufeng had worked in Jinyiwei before, so he naturally knew that Jinyiwei was extremely careful when handling cases.Seeing more than a dozen Jinyi guards separate back and forth, although they disappeared into the night and couldn't see where they were hiding, they knew that these Jinyi guards had already protected everyone in the middle.Murong Danyan and Wang Xiaoyu didn't know what Jin Yiwei was up to, and they thought to themselves that these people appeared and disappeared, and they were probably pretending to be ghosts and playing tricks.

After about half a stick of incense, everyone finally walked on a road.Wang Xiaoyu grew up in Wangjiazhuang since he was a child, and he wandered around Dongliao County almost every day. He was very familiar with the various places in the city, and he couldn't go wrong even with his eyes closed.She knew that Xu Yingyang was going to lead the people to the county magistrate's office, and was about to rush to lead the way for them, when she saw three figures suddenly appearing not far ahead.Wang Xiaoyu was startled, and tremblingly said: "There is someone in front..."

Before she finished speaking, Li Qiufeng whispered beside her: "Those are the three Jinyi guards who were exploring the way at the front just now. If Li's guess is correct, there are two Jinyi guards on the houses on the left and right sides at this moment." , and the five Jinyi guards following us have already protected us in the middle. Miss Wang, don’t worry, just feel free to go to the county magistrate’s office.”

Although Wang Xiaoyu was still in doubt, he was finally relieved to hear what Li Qiufeng said.After walking for about a stick of incense, we were not far from the magistrate's yamen, and we could see two big lanterns hanging outside the main entrance of the yamen.In an instant, Li Qiufeng suddenly remembered his experience in the Town God's Temple in Xiuwu County, and felt like he was separated from the world.

After a while, the three Jin Yiwei walking in the front had already arrived at the stone steps of the main gate of the magistrate's yamen.There were four guards standing on the left and right of the gate, they were whispering together in one place, not paying attention to someone walking over at all.The three Jinyi guards walked up to the stone steps silently, and the four guards were startled, and their hearts were shocked.An officer pulled out his waist knife in a panic, and said in a trembling voice: "Who are you? Don't you know that you are not allowed to go out after dark?!"

The leader of the Jin Yiwei sneered, and said in his mouth: "We are ordered to go to Dongliao County to do business, and quickly ask your county magistrate to come out to meet the Shangguan."

The four guards were startled and stepped back one after another, only then did they focus on the three people in front of them.I saw the three of them wearing deep hats, covering most of their faces, wearing green shirts, with long knives hanging from their waists.The four guards looked at each other in blank dismay, wondering and uncertain.After a while, an officer bravely asked, "Are the three officers from Liaoyang Mansion?"

The Jinyiwei who spoke just now glanced at the officer and said, "Don't talk too much! Go and call out the magistrate. Otherwise, you will miss the official business, and don't blame our ruthless men."

At this time, the four guards were in a state of shock, thinking that the city has not been peaceful recently, the county magistrate, master, and the head catcher told us to cheer up.These three guys looked tyrannical, they didn't look like good people at all, maybe they were green forest thieves pretending to be public servants, sneaking into the city to kill people, set fires, and rob property.Thinking of this, some of the four guards pulled out steel knives, and some raised their water and fire sticks, and pointed the weapons in their hands at the three guards in order to prevent them from violently injuring others.

The three Jinyiwei didn't pay attention to the four guards at all. Seeing the four of them showing their weapons, the leader of the Jinyiwei sneered, took out a waist card from his pocket, held it in front of the four guards, and said in his mouth: "Jinyiwei handles the case." , do you dare to stop it?"

After Emperor Jiajing came to the throne, he restricted Jinyiwei's authority, and Lu Bing, who was in charge of Jinyiwei, was a cautious person, so Jinyiwei was not as arrogant as Emperor Zhengde was.It's just that under Jin Yiwei's decades of prestige, officials and people, big and small, are still frightened and terrified when they hear the word Jin Yiwei.Moreover, although the emperor reduced Jin Yiwei's power, he still gave them the right to inquire about news and arrest criminals. Therefore, officials did not dare to stop Jin Yiwei from handling cases.The Jin Yiwei took out his waist card and held it up in front of the four officers, saying that the four of them must be scared out of their wits, and complacent, they just waited for the officers to call the county magistrate out to meet Xu Yingyang.
