A knife in love

Chapter 324

Li Qiufeng, Murong Danyan, and Xiao Zhanpeng heard Mrs. Sha's story about the ancestors of the Sha family, and they all thought in their hearts: "Mrs. Sha deliberately concealed the inside story of the ancestors of the Sha family pretending to be sick to escape the emperor's suspicion, but simply said something that is not taboo. The past, of course, will not be too complicated."

Zhu Sanjia was about to say more, when Li Qiufeng said: "Mr. Zhu, I have something I want to ask you for advice."

What the Zhu family was most afraid of was Li Qiufeng. Seeing him talking to him, he waved his hands hastily and said, "My lord, don't call me Mr. or Mrs. You can just call me Lao Zhu. If you have anything to say, as long as my Mr. Zhu knew it, and he would never dare to hide it."

Li Qiufeng pondered for a moment, then said: "Dare to ask Brother Zhu, did you see officers and soldiers fighting with people at the foot of the mountain?"

Zhu Sanjia was taken aback, frowned and thought for a moment, and said: "When we reached the foot of the mountain, we saw a large number of officers and soldiers forming an array from a distance. We were afraid of being discovered by them, so we hid in the woods by the roadside, so we didn't look at them. I don't know whether they are fighting with others. But the young master's question reminded me that if the officers and soldiers were stationed here, there would definitely be a big camp. Now that I think about it carefully, I can't see the shadow of the camp. I'm afraid they will Coming here is not for stationing, but for another purpose.”

Li Qiufeng nodded and said, "According to Brother Zhu, how many officers and soldiers can there be?"

Zhu Sanjia said: "I see this formation, there are no less than 1 infantry, and there are also many cavalry. The total number is at least 5000."

Li Qiufeng said: "I see that brother Zhu and the dozen or so strong men under him are very powerful, and the weapons in their hands are long spears. They don't seem to be from the Jianghu. Presumably they have served in the army?"

Zhu Sanjia was startled, then he smiled and said: "Young master has good eyesight. I did serve in the army. More than ten years ago, I served as a soldier for three years under the command of General Guo of the Xuanfu, and the rest of the brothers were also in the army. did it."

Li Qiufeng nodded, and said: "No wonder Brother Zhu and these dozen strong men were very organized when they advanced and retreated. Although the defeat was not chaotic, I think they must have been elite soldiers in a hundred battles back then."

Zhu Sanjia hurriedly waved his hands and said, "I dare not do this, I dare not do this."

Li Qiufeng said: "To be honest, the officers and soldiers came here to capture some heroes who are unwilling to make trouble, and many of them are my friends. Although these friends have high martial arts skills, they are only facing the field army. , It can be said that there is no victory without defeat, and I must rush to the rescue as soon as possible. However, the exit of this cave was blocked by a large number of martial arts masters. It is more difficult to get out from here. Since Brother Zhu entered from another secret path In this cave, I would like to ask Brother Zhu to lead me to leave this cave through the secret path, and go down the mountain to help my friends from the rivers and lakes!"

Zhu Sanjia was stunned, unable to agree for a while, and turned his head involuntarily to look at Mrs. Sha.

Mrs. Sha has been speculating about the origin of Zhu Sanjia. Seeing that he is very respectful to Shajiabao, she seems to be quite familiar with Shajiabao's origin. She may have a lot of connections with Shajiabao. She just wanted to find out the origin of Zhu Sanjia. , but after hearing what Li Qiufeng said, he knew that he wanted Zhu Sanjia to lead the way and go out by another road, so he nodded and said: "Since Mr. Li has this plan, Mr. Zhu, can I trouble you to take Mr. Li out?" ?”

Seeing Mrs. Sha's words, the Zhu Sanjia clasped their fists and said without any hesitation, "Since the young mistress ordered me to come down, the villain will take Mr. Li for a walk."

Li Qiufeng said to Mrs. Sha: "Mrs. Sha, although the exit of this cave is blocked by a huge stone, the enemy cannot enter for a while. It's just that our enemies are cunning and cunning, and there are many people. They will figure out a way to get in. Therefore, after Li leaves, you must be careful, if the enemy really opens the stone gate, you must not resist it, and the best policy is to escape along the stone cave as soon as possible."

Li Qiufeng's voice fell, and Zhu Sanjia said: "Don't bother me. There are many stone chambers in this secret passage, some of which are extremely secret. If the enemy invades, I will ask the two brothers to take the eldest and young mistress and others to a safe place. Where to hide, discipline the enemy to find them."

Li Qiufeng was overjoyed and said, "This is the best!"

Zhu Sanjia smiled, sucked their lips and whistled, and after a while, two men ran in from the entrance of the cave, they were the subordinates he had just sent to ambush in the secret passage.The two arrived in front of Zhu Sanjia, and bowed their hands to salute.Zhu Sanjia said: "Brother Yang, Brother Gao, I want to accompany this Young Master Li to go out on business. You stay here and protect the eldest mistress and the young master. If an enemy comes to attack, you don't have to fight with it, just take it with you. Young Mistress and others retreat into the secret path, and after reaching Jingxin Temple, close the stone gate of Jingxin Temple and guard inside. I will come to rescue you after I finish my business with Mr. Li."

The two claimed it was the same, each holding a spear, guarding the exit of the cave.At this moment, Ah Er, the tiger who had been lying behind a huge rock stretched his waist and stood up. When Zhu Sanjia and the two men saw Ah Er, they were stunned with fright, and pointed their spears at Ah Er.It's just that when I saw such a huge tiger suddenly, my bones were frightened, and my hands holding the spear couldn't help shaking.

Seeing that the three of them were afraid, Sha Zhongyu hurried to Ah Er's side, touched Ah Er's chin on tiptoe, and said, "Don't scare the guests, just sit down obediently."

That Ah Er was also obedient, and ignored Zhu Sanjia and the two men at all, stuck out his tongue and licked around his mouth, made two whimpers in his throat, and then slowly lay down on his stomach.

Zhu Sanjia said tremblingly: "Young master can drive a fierce tiger, it's really a natural talent, the villain admires it."

Li Qiufeng said: "Since you have Brother Zhu's friends to help, that would be the best. But I heard you just said that you want to go to the 'Jingxin Temple' to take refuge. Could it be that there is a temple on this mountain?"

Only then did the Zhu Sanjia wake up from the shock of meeting the tiger Ah Er suddenly, and said to Li Qiufeng: "The temple is not on the mountain, but in a very secret place in this cave. There are secret agencies along the way. I don't know how powerful it is, so I rushed in rashly, even if you have thousands of troops, I'm afraid you will end up with annihilated army."

When Li Qiufeng heard that there was a monastery in this cave, he was quite skeptical. When he heard that the monastery had such a powerful mechanism, it was even more unbelievable. Xiaojie, he is a good man, but his words exaggerate the facts, making people dumbfounded."

Although he thought so in his heart, he naturally couldn't say so on the surface.He turned his head and said to Xiao Zhanpeng and Murong Danyan: "Brother Xiao, Miss Murong, please stay here. If Liu Sheng's killers and those monks and Taoist priests rush in, we must protect Mrs. Sha and Mr. Sha to retreat safely." Enter the secret path."

Before Xiao Zhanpeng could answer, Murong Danyan said anxiously: "Brother Li, I want to go with you!"

Li Qiufeng was stunned, shook his head, and said, "Miss Murong, there are so many troops at the foot of the mountain, it's too dangerous to break in. If I go alone, if I encounter any danger, I'll pat my buttocks and walk away with me. Let the girl go together, I'm afraid that Miss Murong will fall into the chaos if she doesn't take good care of her, how could Li have the face to see old Mr. Murong Qiushui..."

Murong Danyan didn't wait for him to finish, his expression changed, he snorted, and said bitterly: "I understand, you are afraid that I will drag you down, aren't you?"

Li Qiufeng was embarrassed and didn't know how to explain it.Mrs. Sha smiled and said: "Young Master Li, if Sister Murong is going, you might as well go with her, but there is also a helper. Since Mr. Zhu is very familiar with the situation in this cave and has left people to help us, you can Don't worry about saving your friends, don't worry about us."

Li Qiufeng saw Murong Danyan's look of anticipation, with tears in his eyes, but he couldn't bear to refuse, so he nodded and said, "Okay..."

Seeing Murong Danyan walking with Li Qiufeng, Xiao Zhanpeng also felt competitive, and said to Li Qiufeng: "Brother Li, Xiao is also willing to go with you and the girl."

Li Qiufeng shook his head and said: "Brother Xiao, if we all leave, only Mrs. Sha, Mr. Sha, and Mr. Hou are left here who know martial arts. If the enemy attacks in, I'm afraid there will be casualties in an emergency. Brother Xiao is very skilled in martial arts, stay here as a helper, so that Li can go to help the various sects with confidence."

Xiao Zhanpeng thought about it too, so he nodded in agreement.Hou Zhen said from the side: "Mr. Li, this old slave admires your righteousness. It's just that although Mr. Li's martial arts are high, it's better not to rush forward when facing thousands of troops..."

Li Qiufeng nodded, and said: "Thank you, old man, for reminding me. Li knows that if he forcibly breaks into the army formation, it is tantamount to moths jumping into the flames and seeking his own death. Therefore, Li will definitely find a way to sneak into the army formation." But, even if I get together with the various sects, it will be difficult for me to fight against the officers and soldiers. Li wants to gather these martial arts masters together, escape from the encirclement of the officers and soldiers first, and retreat to the In this valley, and then hide in this cave. There is only one exit in this cave. It can be said that one man guards the gate, and no one can open it. If the group of heroes can escape here, they will be invincible. Let's find another way to escape."

Only then did everyone understand Li Qiufeng's plan, and secretly praised him for his thoughtfulness.Mrs. Sha thought to herself: "This Mr. Li only seeks real benefits, not fame. If he can gain benefits, he doesn't even care about his own reputation. Evil spirit. Miss Murong's father is a first-class swordsman in Jianghu, seeing what Young Master Li has done, I'm afraid he will not like it."

Xiao Zhanpeng said: "Brother Li's plan is very clever, Xiao is waiting at the entrance of the cave, waiting for Brother Li to bring the group of heroes back."

Li Qiufeng said: "Right now, the assassins of the Liusheng clan, Monk Guangzhi, Yuqingzi and others must still be trying to find a way outside the boulder, so we must not open the stone gate from the inside, otherwise these masters will rush in, and we will definitely It's hard to resist. Li wants to lead a group of heroes back into the valley, and kill them first at the entrance of the cave. Although the monk Guangzhi and Yuqingzi have high martial arts skills, they can't resist these thousands of heroes. Seeing us rushing to kill, we must Turn around and run away, then we will open the stone gate, let the group of heroes retreat into the cave, and put down the stone gate, wouldn't it be great?!"

Seeing that he had already calculated, everyone had no objection.Li Qiufeng and Murong Dan's inkstones were ready, and they followed Zhu San's family to the entrance of the secret passage at the north end of the cave.Seeing that Zhu Sanjia was walking in front, Madam Sha hurriedly walked to Li Qiufeng quietly, leaned close to his ear and whispered: "Mr. Li, the mechanism of the huge stone outside the cave is a triangular stone on the right side of the stone gate. You After holding down the stone, first turn left three times, then turn right two times, and the boulder will lift up!"

Li Qiufeng knew that Mrs. Sha was still worried about Zhu Sanjia, so he whispered to himself the mechanism that opened the door, and nodded immediately.Murong Danyan was walking aside, seeing Mrs. Sha whispering in Li Qiufeng's ear, the two of them sticking very close, felt a little unhappy.I just thought about it again: "Sister Fang only likes the Sandcastle Lord, so naturally she won't empathize with others. She must have something very important to talk to Brother Li in a low voice, how can I be overwhelmed?!"
