A knife in love

Chapter 2373
After Li Qiufeng and the others had eaten and drank enough, if they followed Wang Xiaoyu's plan, they would immediately make a stop at Dongliao County.But seeing that Master Miaohui and other nuns were still eating slowly, she could only wait patiently, not daring to urge her.After about half a stick of incense, all the nuns put down their chopsticks, recited a scripture silently, and then stood up one after another.Several Jin Yiwei who accompanied Li Qiufeng and others to eat saw that everyone had finished eating, so they walked out of the main hall quickly.After a while, the leader of Jinyiwei, surnamed Wan, came in and exchanged a few words with Li Qiufeng. His Jinyiwei took away all the tables, chairs, dishes and dishes in the main hall.A moment later, the chaotic "tavern" turned into the solemn and solemn main hall of the county magistrate's office in Dongliao County.

Li Qiufeng inquired about the name of the leader of Jinyiwei, surnamed Wan, and only then did he know that his name was Wan Mi, who was from Hebei.Li Qiufeng thought to himself, I have been working in Jinyiwei for five years, relying on the secret help of Uncle Liu, I have become a hundred households in Fusi, Jinyiwei South Town, which is already a special promotion.It took only three years for Wan Mi to test a hundred households, and he was only one step away from a hundred households, a foot away from the water, and jumped over.This person must be extremely shrewd and highly valued by Xu Yingyang and Yang Zhenzhong, or he has the backing of a big boss in the imperial court, otherwise it is absolutely impossible to be promoted so quickly.

While the two were talking, they suddenly heard footsteps outside the main hall.Wan Mi immediately confessed his crimes to Li Qiufeng, walked quickly to the entrance of the main hall, bowed and stood in awe.After a while, I saw Xu Yingyang Shi Shi ran into the main hall.Wan Xian led a group of guards in brocade clothes to greet him, Xu Yingyang waved his hand, signaling that everyone needn't be too polite, walked slowly to Li Qiufeng and the others, and said with a smile: "Li Baihu, you slept well last night ?”

When Murong Danyan and Wang Xiaoyu saw Xu Yingyang coming in from the main hall gate, they both thought, this guy left the main hall from the corner gate last night to rest in the back house, but he wanted to come in from the main gate after a night. Jin Yiwei put on airs in front of us.This dog official is showing off his power everywhere, so he must be a big corrupt official who bullies his subordinates and flatters his superiors.

Li Qiufeng cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Mr. Xu, for taking care of us. We slept soundly last night, but I feel a little sorry for the hard work of your lords patrolling and guarding outside."

Xu Yingyang was noncommittal, just nodded, and said a few words to Master Miaohui, then turned his head and said to Li Qiufeng: "I went around the city early in the morning, but it was quiet outside. Signs of Japanese pirates making trouble. The Jinyiwei guarding the south of the city sent back news that there was no fleet on the sea. As for the Dashuigou area, the dam has been closed. Near Dashuigou. I heard Li Baihu talk about the strange situation in Dashidong. The Japanese pirates who wanted to stay in Dongliao County retreated to hide near Laoweng Mountain. It stands to reason that we should plow the courtyard and sweep the caves, and go straight to the old lair of the Liusheng clan. , Kill them all, but unfortunately our manpower is too small, only about [-] people. If we do it on our own, I'm afraid we won't be able to fight against the Japanese pirates. Right now we can only bear it temporarily and wait for the Liaodong General Army to send troops to come to help."

After hearing what Xu Yingyang said, Murong Danyan and Wang Xiaoyu realized that this person did not enter the main hall through the corner gate because he left the magistrate's office early in the morning and walked around the city, so he returned to the magistrate's office. The Yamen will enter the main hall from the gate.Li Qiufeng felt a little anxious after hearing what Xu Yingyang had said, and said in his mouth: "Master Zhang, the Liaodong General Soldier, has no more than a thousand soldiers capable of fighting. If he wants to deal with tens of thousands of Fusang troops, he may not be able to do so. Liu Sheng Dan Mashou colluded with the daimyo of Fusang, and wanted to use Dongliao County as a springboard. After replenishing food, grass and military equipment here, he would go straight to Tianjinwei from the sea, and then attack the capital. Therefore, it is likely that we will not go to war in Liaodong. If we can find the Yagyu family In the place where grain, grass and military equipment were stored, the Japanese pirates’ baggage was burned clean. The army of the Fusang Kingdom was short of supplies, and it would be more difficult to attack Tianjin Wei. Li thought that Yagyu Dan Mashou wanted to hide Food, grass and weapons must be chosen near Laoweng Mountain. Mr. Xu might as well choose a dozen or so smart and capable Jinyi guards, and follow Li to the vicinity of Laowengshan to find out."

After Xu Yingyang heard what Li Qiufeng said, his face sank a little, and then he smiled and said: "Li Baihu fought against the powerful enemy alone in Dongliao County, and I heard that he was injured. There are no Japanese pirates yet. We don’t need to act in a hurry. Don’t forget that there is also Liu Shengshiliu, a martial arts expert in the city, and we have not found the fifteen Japanese pirates hiding in the city. They pose a great threat to us. Therefore, it is better to be quiet now than to move. It's better to just wait and see."

Li Qiufeng heard what Xu Yingyang said, although he was not reconciled, he couldn't argue with Xu Yingyang, so he nodded.Xu Yingyang went on to say: "The masters in the yamen, the secretary's office, and the tolerable police were all deceived by Japanese pirates to collect food and taxes outside the city. I sent people out of the city last night and wanted to recall them back to the city to wait for orders. But I The manpower is also limited, and hundreds of people cannot be called back at once. There are only six or seventy servants who arrived at the yamen this morning, and they are all incompetent people. It's useful to check at the door, they are all local snakes in Dongliao County, if any strangers show up, they can be identified immediately."

Li Qiufeng said a few words to Xu Yingyang, Wan Mian leaned over and said with a smile: "Master Xu, breakfast is ready, please come to the back house for dinner."

Xu Yingyang glanced at Wan Xian, and said in his mouth, "Have Li Baihu and Master Miaohui eaten?"

Before Wan Mian could answer, Li Qiufeng hurriedly said, "We've already had dinner, thank you Master Xu for your thoughtfulness. According to our calculations, five days have passed since Li and Miss Murong were trapped in the big stone cave by Japanese pirates. Not seeing the sun in the big stone cave, I feel a little flustered in my heart. Since there is nothing to do at the moment, Li wants to take a walk in the city with Miss Murong and others, I wonder if it is possible?"

Xu Yingyang smiled slightly, and said in his mouth: "Li Baihu was joking. You are not criminals arrested by Jin Yiwei, so what can you do? Just be careful in the city, and beware of being secretly attacked by Japanese pirates. When you leave, Don't walk out through the main and back doors of the yamen, it's better to leave through the alley on the west side."

Li Qiufeng and the others had no objection.Xu Yingyang said a few more words to everyone, and then went into the back house through the corner gate.Li Qiufeng was about to take Murong Danyan and others out of the main hall, Master Miaohui said to him: "Master Li, you and Miss Murong and others are going out to inquire about news, if the poor nuns go with you, it will be very inconvenient, so we have to stay in the yamen Among them, wait for the adults to return."

Li Qiufeng hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Seniors command, and juniors will obey." After he finished speaking, he turned to Wan Mian and said, "Master Wan, please have two quiet rooms, one for Master Miaohui and all the teachers to rest. The other room is reserved for Mr. Xiao. Mr. Xiao is injured, so he also needs to stay in the yamen to recuperate and not go out with us."

Wan Mian smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Li. Don't look at Dongliao County as a remote place outside the pass. The magistrate's yamen is quite large, with more than 20 rooms inside and outside. The rooms in the backyard are very large and extremely Quiet, it is the best place for Grand Master and all the teachers and Lord Xiao to rest there."
