A knife in love

Chapter 319

Li Qiufeng thought to himself: "Xuanfu and Datong's soldiers and horses have already reached the west of Yong'an City, more than 3 miles away from Yong'an City, and immediately set up a big camp, with only [-] soldiers and horses as the vanguard, they went straight to Yong'an City. The generals deployed in this way, in addition to monitoring Sang Liangtian's troops stationed outside Yong'an City and the Shanhaiguan soldiers and horses in Nanshan, they are still watching the situation in the court before making further plans. The court has not sent Qin Wang to the governors everywhere. Before the decree, only the soldiers and horses from the two towns of Xuan and Da could be assembled and mobilized by the Ministry of War to conduct field battles around the capital. As for the three major battalions defending the capital, they would not leave the capital unless the emperor personally marched. But Mrs. Sha said There were [-] to [-] officers and soldiers surrounding Qunhao at the foot of Hutou Rock. Presumably Mrs. Sha, Miss Murong and others had never seen such a large army before, and they might have miscalculated the number of officers and soldiers in panic. "

Mrs. Sha saw Li Qiufeng groaning silently, and then said: "Young Master Li, let's retreat into this cave right now, and the enemies outside the cave will not be able to attack for a while. It's just that being trapped here is not a good idea after all. Mr. Li He is a great expert in Jianghu, luckily we met him, and he happened to invite Mr. Li to preside over the plan!"

When she said this, she inadvertently saw Xiao Zhanpeng standing next to Li Qiufeng, and hurriedly said: "Mr. We have to get out of this."

Li Qiufeng said: "Ma'am, I'm ashamed to say that Li seldom travels in the Jianghu, his knowledge is shallow, and his experience is even less. How can he be called a great Jianghu expert?!"

Murong Danyan said anxiously on the side: "Brother Li, you have come to such a juncture, you don't need to be humble."

Li Qiufeng said: "Miss Murong, Mrs. Sha, Li is indeed not humble. But since Mrs. Sha said that the enemy will not be able to enter for a while, this cave is the safest place right now. What Li is worried about is that he will be surrounded by officers and soldiers." Those friends from the rivers and lakes, although they have high martial arts skills, but facing the field army sent by the imperial court, if they are not careful, they will encounter catastrophe."

Murong Danyan curled his lips and said with disdain: "Brother Li, those officers and soldiers are full of pus. Dozens of them chased us, but we beat them to pieces. If it wasn't for the sudden appearance of those black-clothed warriors, maybe we would have already Mr. Liu and the others were rescued."

Li Qiufeng shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "Miss Murong doesn't know something. If you talk about the martial arts of the officers and soldiers, it is naturally not worth mentioning. But if the officers and soldiers form an formation, attack separately, and respond to each other, tens of thousands of people will fight together." Charge over here, no matter how high your martial arts are, you may find it difficult to protect yourself, if you want to rely on martial arts to save people in the midst of thousands of troops, it is impossible to even think about it."

Murong Danyan said: "Brother Li, didn't you face thousands of soldiers and horses alone in Yong'an City, and finally retreated completely?"

Li Qiufeng gave a wry smile, and said: "It was a last resort. It was a fluke that Li was able to escape back to the city. What's more, the enemy army was caught off guard and hadn't woken up yet. If the army had already formed an formation, I'm afraid Li He died in the army someday ago."

When Murong Danyan saw Li Qiufeng repeatedly narrating how powerful the officers and soldiers are, although he didn't think so, he just thought: "Brother Li is a hero, so naturally he wouldn't take these pussy officers and soldiers seriously. He is so humble, I'm afraid he has other plans. There is no need to argue with him." So she opened her mouth, but did not speak again.

At this moment, a servant woman walked over quickly and said to Hou Zhen in a low voice: "The meal is ready, do you want to invite Madam and all the distinguished guests to have dinner?"

Although the servant woman's voice was not high, everyone heard it.Since Li Qiufeng and Xiao Zhanpeng arrived at the foot of Hutouyan, they have been running around and fighting with Yuqingzi and Monk Guangzhi. Apart from drinking two cups of tea just now, they are already hungry.It was Mrs. Sha, Murong Danyan and others. When they escaped from the secret passage after the Shajiabao old house had a quarrel with Sha Yilu, Hou Zhen was thoughtful and brought some dry food.Although there were many adventures and meals afterwards.But after leaving the cave, they met officers and soldiers again. Fusang killer made a surprise attack and forced everyone back into the valley.By this time, I was tired and hungry.Hearing that the servant woman said that the food was ready, everyone was salivating from the bottom of their tongues, and their index fingers moved wildly.

Hou Zhen naturally knew what everyone was thinking, and nodded to the servant girl.The maid walked away quickly, and after a while, several servants came out from the north side of the cave carrying food plates.There were rice and white steamed buns on the food plate, and a few plates of dark things, but I didn't know what they were.Although the servants were more than ten zhang away from the crowd, the fragrance had already wafted over.

The maid distributed the meals to the crowd. Each person had a bowl of rice and two steamed buns. The black thing turned out to be marinated bacon, and each person also shared a few pieces.When everyone saw the meal, they were all in high spirits, and they didn't care about the etiquette, so they picked up the bowl and started to eat.

Sha Zhongyu didn't eat like everyone else, but picked up a piece of bacon with chopsticks, turned around and handed it to Ah Er, the tiger lying on the side.That Ah Er shook his head and shook his head. After seeing the bacon, he was not in a hurry. He sniffed it first, then stretched out his huge head, stretched out his tongue from his mouth, rolled it lightly, and put the piece of bacon into his mouth. .It's just that compared with Ah Er's big mouth, this piece of bacon is too small, maybe it's not enough to fit it between his teeth.Ah Er's mouth moved a few times, then stopped, and his eyes looked towards Sha Zhongyu's food plate.

Sha Zhongyu naturally knew that Ah Er was not full, and was about to pick up another piece of bacon and pass it over.A servant woman had already walked over quickly carrying half a leaf of bacon.While walking, he said to Sha Zhongyu: "Young master, we have prepared food for Ah Er, you don't need to worry about it."

Sha Zhongyu's young heart, seeing the half fan of bacon in the servant's hand, his eyes lit up, he put the food plate in his hand on a stone bench in front of him, walked forward quickly, and said to the servant: "Aunt Zhao , you eat first, I'll feed it."

The maid hesitated for a moment, then turned her head to look at Mrs. Sha involuntarily.Mrs. Sha was holding a bowl of rice in her hand, she smiled and nodded to the maid, and the maid then handed the bacon to Sha Zhongyu.Sha Zhongyu took the bacon in his left hand, and drew out the long sword with his right hand, and saw the sword light flashing, and the bacon in his right hand was divided into four pieces.It turned out that in an instant, Sha Zhongyu had unleashed three swords in a row, cutting the bacon into four pieces.

Xiao Zhanpeng and Murong Danyan are both good at swordsmanship. Although Li Qiufeng doesn't use swords, he is quite knowledgeable about swordsmanship.Seeing the three people praising Sha Zhongyu, Mrs. Sha was overjoyed, but she still said modestly: "You guys don't want to laugh at the kids when they mess around."

After Sha Zhongyu unleashed three swords in a row, three pieces of bacon fell to the ground.Hearing the applause from the crowd, Sha Zhongyu became even more competitive, with a flick of his right hand, the sword was as bright as lightning, and with a "poof", the three pieces of cured meat had been strung onto the sword by him.

This move was more difficult than the three swords he used in an instant just now.It must be known that the three pieces of bacon were falling from the air to the ground, and there was no way to rely on them when they were suspended in the air.When the long sword stabs at the bacon, if the strength is not accurate, it will only knock the bacon away and cannot pierce it.Sha Zhongyu's sword is stable, accurate and ruthless. Not only is his swordsmanship excellent, but his internal strength is also not weak.

Sha Zhongyu skewered three pieces of bacon on the sword, turned around, and threw the piece of bacon in his left hand towards Ah Er.When Ah Er first saw the bacon brought over by the maid, he knew it was food for him, so he kept his head up and his eyes staring at the bacon without even blinking.At this time, seeing Sha Zhongyu throwing a piece of bacon, his eyes never turned around since the piece of bacon was separated from Sha Zhongyu's hands, and his eyes followed the piece of bacon all the time.When the bacon reached its mouth, it opened its mouth wide, rolled its blood-red tongue, swallowed the bacon, and began to chew.

Seeing Ah Er's appearance, everyone thought it was funny.Seeing that the piece of bacon was eaten by Ah Er in a blink of an eye, Sha Zhongyu shook the long sword in his hand, and with a sound of "snap", the piece of bacon strung on the sword flew straight towards Ah Er.Ah Er opened his mouth wide and swallowed the piece of bacon.

Li Qiufeng and the others saw that Sha Zhongyu's wrist was vigorous, and a piece of bacon strung on the long sword was shaken to fly out, and it flew towards Ah'er impartially. get up.Sha Zhongyu became more and more complacent, and followed the example, and threw the remaining two pieces of bacon to Ah Er.

After everyone finished eating, several servants came forward quickly, cleared away the bowls, chopsticks and food plates, and served tea for them.

Li Qiufeng drank a cup of tea, and then said to Mrs. Sha: "Madam, Li has something I don't understand, and I want to ask Madam for advice."

Mrs. Sha said: "Mr. Li has something to say, just say it."

Li Qiufeng said: "According to Madam, there is a secret passage in the old house of Shajiabao, which was told to you by the owner of Shajiabao before his death. But you have never entered this secret passage before, but this time it is urgent , and then took Miss Murong and others into the secret passage, so you will naturally come to the cave we are in. It’s just that there is food stored here, which is quite puzzling.”

Mrs. Sha smiled slightly, and was about to speak when Murong Danyan rushed to the side and said, "Brother Li, I knew you couldn't figure it out. There are many strange things in this cave, do you want to take a look?"

Mrs. Sha saw Murong Danyan scrambling to speak, so she shut up, but there was a smile on the corner of her mouth.

Li Qiufeng was startled, wondering what Murong Danyan wanted him to see.When Murong Danyan saw Li Qiufeng's blank face, he immediately laughed proudly, and said, "Brother Li, I'll take you to see something, and I'll surprise you!"

Li Qiufeng saw Murong Danyan's excited face, with a bit of mischievousness on his face. When he was in doubt, he accidentally met Mrs. Sha's eyes, but saw Mrs. Sha winking at him, and gently pointing at Murong Danyan with his right hand. Pointing, indicating that he would obey Murong Danyan's words.Although Li Qiufeng was still in doubt, he knew Mrs. Sha acted prudently. Since she wanted to listen to Murong Danyan herself, she must have a reason, so he said to Murong Danyan: "I don't know what Miss Murong wants Li to see. thing?"

Murong Danyan grabbed Li Qiufeng's sleeve with his right hand and said to him: "Brother Li, follow me!"
