A knife in love

Chapter 2438
After hearing Xu Yingyang's words, Li Qiufeng immediately turned from worry to joy, cupped his hands and said, "Master Xu has a great opinion, and Li admires it."

Knowing the urgency of the matter, Xu Yingyang stopped being polite with Li Qiufeng, and immediately called a few capable men and asked them to split up.Li Qiufeng saw that Xu Yingyang dispatched people and handled things in an orderly manner, and thought to himself, no wonder both Yun Feiyang and Yang Zhenzhong valued Xu Yingyang so much.

After Xu Yingyang sent a few Jinyiwei out, he said a few words to Li Qiufeng.It was almost evening at this time, Xu Yingyang said in his mouth: "Right now we have done everything we can do, we just need to wait for the Fusang army to arrive, and then fight them to the death."

When Xu Yingyang said this, he paused for a while, and then said: "After dinner, Xu would like to invite Mr. Li to go to the south of the city to see how the city wall is being built. I wonder if Mr. Li is willing to go with him?"

Li Qiufeng cupped his hands and said, "But according to Mr. Xu's orders, Li will obey everything."

The two chatted for a few more words before Li Qiufeng said goodbye to Xu Yingyang and returned to the wing.Murong Danyan was pacing up and down in the room, and when he saw Li Qiufeng coming back, he let out a sigh of relief, closed the door tightly, turned around and said to Li Qiufeng: "When Sister Xiaoyu was here, I didn't think there was any danger. What's wrong, but she's not here today, my heart is always in my throat, always worrying whether she will be in danger or not. Brother Li, why don't we go and see her and Mr. Qi?"

Li Qiufeng said: "Brother Qi is not weak in martial arts, and is very resourceful. With him protecting Miss Wang, I think there will be no danger. If Miss Wang is worried, Li will go to Nancheng to check at night, and then go with the girl. It's not too late to visit Miss Wang and Brother Qi."

After Li Qiufeng finished speaking, Murong Danyan was startled for a moment, then clapped his hands together, and said with a smile: "In this case, I will go to Nancheng with brother Li to have a look. When I first met Mr. Jiang in the Wangjiazhuang, he had a very serious expression on his face. He is upright, and he speaks very impartially, but he turned out to be a Fusang spy. I want to see what this guy is capable of building a city wall in a few days."

Li Qiufeng nodded, and said in his mouth: "I heard that Master Jiang's name is Jiang Jin. This name is naturally fake. This man's martial arts are not very high, but he is extremely cunning. If Miss Murong goes with Li Be careful, don't let him see the flaws. If this person sees that we have seen through his tricks and wants to sneak up on you, Miss Murong might as well strike him first and cut him off with a sword, so as not to be harmed by him."

When Murong Danyan heard what Li Qiufeng said, his heart became clear, knowing that he was attacked by a killer pretending to be Ma Dongqing near the imperial mausoleum that day, and almost died.Li Qiufeng took this as a warning and told himself that he could strike first when encountering danger, because he was afraid that he would be attacked by the enemy again, so he did not hesitate to let himself strike first, which shows that Li Qiufeng is really sincere to him.Thinking of this, Murong Danyan was both surprised and delighted, so emotional that he didn't know what to say for a while.

At this moment, two Jinyi guards brought dinner.Murong Danyan finally got rid of the embarrassment and sat down to eat with Li Qiufeng.After the two had eaten their fill, Xu Yingyang sent a Jin Yiwei to invite Li Qiufeng to discuss matters in the front courtyard.Wang Xiaoyu wanted to go with him in life or death, the Jin Yiwei had no choice but to nod in agreement.

After seeing Xu Yingyang, Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan followed him out of the Yamen and walked straight to the south of the city.Xu Yingyang changed into a gray cloth robe, and the seven or eight silver-clothed guards who accompanied him also changed into flying fish clothes and embroidered spring knives, and followed Xu Yingyang closely.Along the way, a few people talked and talked, but they were not lonely.Not long after walking out of the magistrate's yamen, the sky was completely dark, and there were almost no pedestrians on the street, which was completely different from the previous Dongliao County.Seeing this situation, Murong Danyan lowered his voice and said: "Brother Li, why are the people in the city gone, we seem to be in an empty city?"

Li Qiufeng was also in doubt, after hearing Murong Danyan finished speaking, he whispered: "I don't know where the people have gone. Could it be that Master Jiang really has such a skill that he has gathered all the people in the city to build the city?"

The two Jinyi guards walking in the front carried lanterns to light the way for Xu Yingyang.At this time, there were no lights in the houses on both sides of the street, and the whole street was extremely dark and terrifying.The Jinyi guards who were guarding Xu Yingyang walked forward and kept looking around.Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan followed Xu Yingyang, secretly on guard.

Everyone traveled south all the way, and after walking for about a meal, they were not far from the south of the city.Before everyone approached, they saw that the night sky in the south was ablaze red, as if a fire was burning.Murong Danyan's heart trembled, he reached for his right hand to his waist, but he missed nothing, then he remembered that he didn't bring a long sword when he went out, and he regretted it secretly.After everyone walked forward for more than twenty zhang, they saw many lanterns and torches not far ahead, illuminating the surroundings like daylight.Countless figures walked back and forth in the firelight, up and down, not knowing what the hell they were doing.

When everyone got closer, they found that countless people were building the city wall.At this time, the foundation of the city wall has been laid, and the height of the city wall is more than two feet.If you were someone who didn't know the inside story, seeing the situation in front of you, you must think that this section of the city wall has been built for more than a month.

Murong Danyan saw that Master Jiang drove the migrant workers to build up the city wall in only three hours, which was really unexpected.If the city wall can be built as soon as possible, it will be a great achievement.It's a pity that Master Jiang is a Fusang spy, otherwise, with his help, he would be more confident in dealing with the Fusang army.

Xu Yingyang walked to the left of the crowd, turned his head and looked around, and then said to a man who was carrying bricks and stones: "Go and call Master Jiang, I have something to say."

That commoner was oppressed by the government on weekdays, and today he was forcibly conscripted to build the South City, and his boss was unwilling.Seeing that Xu Yingyang was wearing coarse clothes, he didn't look like an official, but a porter, who dared to call himself "the official", he was even more disdainful, spat hard, and turned his head aside , I don't want to pay attention to Xu Yingyang at all.Seeing that the man was so rude to Xu Yingyang, a Jinyi guard suddenly raised his right foot and wanted to kick the man in the back.Xu Yingyang's eyes widened, and the Jin Yiwei hurriedly retracted his legs in fright, bowed and stepped aside.

Xu Yingyang smiled slightly, stopped an old man with gray hair and beard, and said, "Old man, where is Master Jiang?"

The old man's clothes were ragged, his body was thin, and his face was sallow.He was holding a big stone with both hands, and was about to walk towards the city wall, when he was suddenly stopped by someone. He was shocked, and when he let go of his hands, the big stone fell straight to the ground.Seeing that the stone was about to hit the old man's foot, Xu Yingyang stretched his left foot forward, arched the back of his foot, and put it on the stone.I didn't see how hard he was, but the falling of the boulder stopped suddenly.Xu Yingyang lowered his left foot slowly, and firmly placed the big stone on the ground.
