A knife in love

Chapter 2586
The three of them talked and talked, and they had walked more than a mile before they knew it.It was already noon, but there was no one on the street.The doors and windows of the houses and shops on both sides of the road were all closed, and no sound could be heard at all.Murong Danyan became more and more frightened as he walked, and said in his mouth: "It doesn't look like a city here, but it looks like you are in a barren mountain. It makes people's heart jump, it's too scary."

Wang Xiaoyu didn't care at all, and while looking around, he said with a smile: "I heard that Mr. Shu told the story of the empty city plan. Zhuge Wuhou locked all the people in the west city at home, and sat on the tower by himself, burning incense and playing the piano, scaring away all the people. Sima Zhongda, Sister Murong, you said that we are going to give the pirates an empty city trick, will they be fooled?"

Murong Danyan was stunned, thought for a while, shook his head, and said: "The Japanese pirates are barbarians from overseas, they have not been educated by saints, if they go ashore to attack a city, they will probably only use brute force, and the empty city plan is probably useless to them .”

When she said this, she turned to Li Qiufeng and said, "Brother Li, do you think so?"

Li Qiufeng was thinking about something, he didn't pay attention to what Murong Danyan and Wang Xiaoyu were talking about, so when Murong Danyan asked him suddenly, he was slightly startled, with a blank expression on his face.Murong Danyan was about to speak, when Wang Xiaoyu suddenly stopped, pointed forward with his left hand and said, "Hey, what do those people do?"

Seeing Wang Xiaoyu's flustered expression, Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan hurriedly raised their heads and looked forward, only to see many figures appearing at the end of the long street, walking towards the three of them.Li Qiufeng's heart trembled, and he stopped immediately, holding the handle of the knife with his right hand, and looked forward intently.Murong Danyan and Wang Xiaoyu even drew their long swords, feeling uneasy.After a while, Wang Xiaoyu said in a low voice: "Except for the people in the city to practice in the school military field and build the wall in the south of the city, the rest of the people were driven to the city wall to defend the city. There are quite a few people who appeared in front of them. It definitely can’t be the people in the city. Could it be that the Japanese pirates deliberately played a trick, not going ashore at night at all, but breaking through Dongliao County at noon?!”

After Wang Xiaoyu finished speaking, Li Qiufeng shook his head, and said in his mouth: "If the Japanese pirates attack the city, the Jinyiwei will definitely not be silent. And if the Japanese pirates are killed by the brigade, how can they be silent? The two girls don't need to panic, even if they come This group of people are enemies, and Li will definitely not let them hurt the two girls."

After Murong Danyan and Wang Xiaoyu heard what Li Qiufeng said, they were terrified and uneasy, thinking that although Jinyiwei is powerful, after all, there are only two or three hundred people, which is far behind the tens of thousands of Japanese pirates.It's just that the second daughter saw Li Qiufeng's calm expression and didn't panic, so she didn't turn around and run away.

After a long while, the group of people got closer, and they were no more than fifty or sixty feet away from the three of them.Wang Xiaoyu suddenly exclaimed, and said in his mouth: "The person walking in the front is clearly Qi Jiu! He is not training the common people in the school's military field, what is he doing here?"

At this time, Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan also recognized that the person who took the lead on the opposite side was Qi Jiu, and they were shocked, not knowing why he appeared here.The first time Wang Xiaoyu saw Qi Jiu, he was surprised and happy, so he wanted to run forward.Li Qiufeng's heart trembled, he hurriedly stood in front of her, and said in a low voice: "Sister Xiaoyu, the situation is unclear at the moment, so don't act rashly! That day I fought a battle with you on the school's military field, if Brother Qi is righteous When people come here and see Ms. Wang, I'm afraid there will be another misunderstanding."

Hearing what Li Qiufeng said, Wang Xiaoyu stopped, but she changed her mind, a strange smile appeared on her face, and she said, "Hero Li, we have put face-changing ointment on our faces, and changed our clothes. Even if those mud legs see me, I'm afraid they won't recognize me, so you don't have to worry about it."

Before Li Qiufeng could answer, Murong Danyan interjected: "Sister Xiaoyu, don't forget that there are many people with blind eyes. If there are one or two smart people among the common people, they will definitely be able to see the flaws. Right now, there are dangers everywhere, so it's better to be careful. "

As soon as Murong Danyan finished speaking, Li Qiufeng nodded, and said: "Ms. Murong is right. After Brother Qi arrives, the two girls should not speak for now. Li will contact Brother Qi."

When he said this, he turned his head and glanced into the distance, only to see that Qi Jiu and the others were only a hundred steps away from him.The people who followed Qi Jiu were indeed volunteers practicing in the school's military field. At this time, they were carrying sticks, big axes, iron picks and other agricultural tools in their hands, which looked rather strange.However, these people lined up in four rows behind Qi Jiu. When they walked, they lined up neatly and silently, looking quite solemn.Li Qiufeng thought to himself, Brother Qi is really amazing!It only took a few days to restrain these people into such a appearance.It's a pity that the Japanese pirates are coming in a short time. If Brother Qi is allowed to practice for a month or two, maybe he can lead these common people to fight against the Japanese pirates.

When Li Qiufeng was thinking about it, Qi Jiu and the people were no more than forty or fifty steps away from the three of them.Seeing Qi Jiu raise his right hand, all the people behind him stopped immediately.Qi Jiu held a black scabbard long knife in his left hand, walked quickly to Li Qiufeng, cupped his hands and said, "Brother Li, where are you going?"

Before Li Qiufeng could answer, Murong Danyan said with a smile: "Sister Xiaoyu is worried that Mr. Qi will be alone, and wants to rush back to the city to help Mr. Qi. Brother Li is worried that she will encounter Japanese pirates on the way, so he sent her back to the city Unexpectedly, Young Master Qi would leave the school military field, but you and Sister Xiaoyu...thought of something."

Murong Danyan originally wanted to say "You and Sister Xiaoyu have a good understanding of each other", but she was afraid that she would speak too much and embarrass Wang Xiaoyu and Qi Jiu, so she forcibly swallowed the seven words "Sister Xiaoyu has a good understanding". go back.But Wang Xiaoyu saw Murong Danyan's smirk, guessed that she was going to make fun of him, blushed, and bowed his head in silence.

Qi Jiu didn't pay attention to Wang Xiaoyu's expression. After hearing what Murong Danyan said, his face was a little gloomy, and he said: "Half an hour ago, Mr. Xu sent someone to the school military field to summon me, and I want to choose four hundred The strong men were divided into two teams, each with 200 people, and they went to the east city and the west city to help the officers and soldiers defend the city. The rest of the volunteers were led by my subordinates and rushed to the north city to obey orders."

After hearing Qi Jiu's words, Li Qiufeng's heart trembled, and he frowned and said: "Master Xu said earlier that the Fusang army did not come to Dongliao County to occupy Liaodong, but to supply food, grass and weapons here, and go to sneak attack Tianjin Wei. If the Fusang army besieges Dongliao County, it will definitely alarm the governor of Liaodong and the general army of Liaodong, which will be disadvantageous to the plans of the Fusang army. Brother Qi's training of righteous people is not to fight to the death with the Fusang people, but to bluff, so that the Fusang army dare not attack And even if the Fusang people want to attack the city, they will definitely start from the south city, and will not attack the north gate in a big circle. The day before yesterday, he explained it clearly to me, why did he suddenly change his mind today?"
