A knife in love

Chapter 3342

Li Qiufeng nodded after hearing what Murong Danyan said, and said in his mouth: "Young lady is so right, I have to guard against this person. If there are any more enemies to attack us, please keep an eye on Mei Dalang and his gang. If they want to harm us, the girl can handle it on her own without fear."

Murong Danyan was treated lightly by Mei Jiulang earlier, which caused her and Li Qiufeng to have a rift, and she hated Mei Jiulang to the bone.Mei Dalang is Mei Jiulang's elder brother, and he tried to use Li Qiufeng for his own use many times, so Murong Danyan also hated Mei Dalang very much, and had murderous intentions in his heart.It's just that Li Qiufeng didn't allow her to make things difficult for Mei Dalang, so Murong Danyan forced himself to endure it.Hearing that Li Qiufeng promised to let her deal with Mei Dalang herself, Murong Danyan was overjoyed, glanced at Mei Dalang who was whispering to his subordinates, and said, "Brother Li, don't worry. If this scoundrel wants to We are at a disadvantage, I will cut off his head with one sword!"

It was almost dusk at this time, and the twilight was getting darker. A dozen women in the Hanshan fishing village cooked gruel and vegetable soup, and distributed them to the monks and Fusang people under the wall.The defeated soldiers besieged Xiangji Temple before, although the situation was critical, but relying on the gunpowder planted by Ye Fengchun and Li Qiufeng jumped out of the stone wall to fight hard, the defeated soldiers were almost wiped out. The monks and Fusang people stayed in the city, but suffered Frightened, he didn't fight the defeated soldiers at all.It's just that these people are not good at fighting, but their appetites are astonishing. After smelling the aroma of gruel, each one's spirits were lifted, and they took the bowls to eat and drink. In the blink of an eye, four pots of gruel and three pots of vegetable soup were mixed. Eat and drink cleanly.

After everyone finished eating, Ye Fengchun called four employees of Songhe Tower and asked them to choose five strong and powerful monks each, and set fires ten feet east, south, west, and north outside the wall, and looked around. situation, to prevent the enemy from attacking.After these people stood guard outside the stone wall for two hours, another four Songhelou staff led people to replace them until dawn.Seeing Ye Fengchun's thorough planning, Li Qiufeng secretly admired him.

That night Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan found a clean place to rest on the top of the stone wall.There was nothing to say all night, until the next morning, when everyone woke up, there was no one inside or outside the stone wall, only the early birds flew around looking for food, and they sang a few birdsong from time to time.The monks and the people of Fusang spent the whole night in fear, and at this moment they were relieved to see that no enemy appeared.

After everyone had breakfast, Wang Laodao rushed to Xiangji Temple with [-] fellows, rolled the saddle and dismounted outside the stone wall.After Ye Fengchun heard the report, he hurriedly ordered his staff to remove the bricks blocking the corner door, and put Wang Laodao and others into the backyard.When Wang Laodao saw Ye Fengchun, he immediately bowed and saluted, and said respectfully: "The villain has seen the big treasurer. Last night, the villain returned to the pier and told the big steward what the big treasurer ordered. The big steward chose three The ten brothers followed the villain back to the ancient stele mountain. The villain was afraid of delaying the big shopkeeper's important affairs, so he didn't dare to neglect in the slightest, so he rushed back with the brothers overnight."

Li Qiufeng saw Wang Laodao's face full of dust and exhaustion, and secretly wanted to see what this man looked like, thinking that there would be no delay at the pier, so he hurried back to Gubei Mountain.This person looks rough, seemingly fierce, not a kind person, but he is really loyal to Ye Fengchun, I don't know how much Ye Fengchun has benefited him.

After hearing what Wang Laodao had said, Ye Fengchun really praised him a few words, and was about to tell Wang Laodao to take thirty men to rest first, when he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said to Wang Laodao: "You come back After the pier, have you seen Mr. Ding?"

Wang Laodao said respectfully: "After the shopkeeper ordered the villain to return to the pier, he had to send those three people to Uncle Ding's big boat. How dare the villain be negligent. It's just that when the villain arrived at Uncle Ding's big boat, He was not on the boat, and he heard that he had gone to Yishui City to do business. However, his servants and the boss of the boat heard the villain's instructions from the shopkeeper and Uncle Li, so they took the three of them to the boat, and asked the villain to tell the boss and the shopkeeper. Uncle Li, I will definitely serve the three of you well, please rest assured, the shopkeeper and Uncle Li."

Li Qiufeng nodded after hearing what Wang Laodao had said, and said in his mouth, "I'm sorry, brother Wang."

Wang Laodao heard Li Qiufeng praise himself, but he didn't even dare to say it.Ye Fengchun said with a smile: "You did a good job in this matter. I will reward you with silver after we return to the pier."

When Ye Fengchun said this, he glanced at Wang Laodao, and then said: "After you left the ancient monument mountain yesterday, did you encounter any enemies on the way?"

Wang Laodao shook his head, and said: "The villain didn't meet any suspicious people on the road. It wasn't until after walking fifty or sixty miles that he saw a few businessmen traveling together. After they saw the villain and the carriage, I thought we were trail-cutting thieves, so we got into the woods by the roadside in fright, and ran faster than rabbits. Later, the villain took his brothers back to Gubei Mountain, because they were traveling late at night, and the road was full of sight. Not a single figure."

Ye Fengchun nodded after hearing what Wang Laodao had said, and waved his right hand. Wang Laodao understood, bowed to Ye Fengchun, and then went to the yard to rest with thirty assistants.After Wang Laodao and others left, Ye Fengchun said to Li Qiufeng: "If the Songtian family and Wuyimen have an ambush at the foot of Gubei Mountain, and see Wang Laodao leading people to Gubei Mountain, we know that our reinforcements have arrived. , they will definitely be intercepted, and they will not be allowed to enter Xiangji Temple. Since Wang Laodao and others have returned here in a big way, it can be seen that there is no enemy ambushing under the ancient monument mountain, so we can breathe a sigh of relief. Right now there are [-] new troops to help, Our confidence is naturally stronger. When the two big names strike and retreat, we can set up camp and rush to Hanshan Fishing Village to do business."

The monks and the people of Fusang saw that Wang Laodao brought thirty men into the backyard, and saw that these men were all big and round, and they were very majestic. They knew that reinforcements had arrived, and everyone's faces showed joy.Ye Fengchun originally planned to wait until Wang Laodao arrived at Xiangji Temple with his helpers, then drive the monks from several other monasteries out of Xiangji Temple and ask them to return to their own temple.But these monks saw the viciousness of the defeated soldiers attacking Xiangji Temple with their own eyes, and they were already scared out of their wits. Later, they saw Ye Fengchun use gunpowder to defeat the defeated soldiers. He knew that if he left Xiangji Temple and returned to his own temple, if another enemy attacked the ancient stele mountain, all the monks in the temple would be killed.Only by staying in Xiangji Temple, under the protection of Ye Fengchun and Li Qiufeng, can he survive by chance.Therefore, after hearing what Ye Fengchun said, the abbots and abbots of several monasteries shook their heads like rattle drums, saying only that the monks in the world belong to one family, and since there are robbers who want to rob the ancient monument mountain, all monasteries must work together to resist and form an alliance to protect themselves , in order not to be killed by robbers, and to preserve the golden body of Buddha.
