A knife in love

Chapter 353

At this time, there were still three to four hundred people standing outside the cave. Seeing the feathered arrows flying towards them, they brandished their weapons to cover them.It's just that the tiger Ah Er was walking around in the valley, looking triumphantly at the four or five hundred officers and soldiers huddled together.Suddenly he was attacked by bows and arrows from officers and soldiers, and he was hit by four or five feathered arrows in the blink of an eye.The tiger was in pain, and raised its head and roared at the officers and soldiers who were shooting arrows. The officers and soldiers on the hillside were so frightened that their faces turned pale when they heard the roar of the tiger.

When Sha Zhongyu saw that Ah Er was hit by an arrow, she hurriedly pursed her lips and let out a howl. Ah Er was grinning and wanted to rush towards the hillside.Hearing Sha Zhongyu's call, he let out a low growl, turned around, and rushed back to Sha Zhongyu's side in a few steps.Sha Zhongyu saw that Ah Er was hit by several arrows in the back, but fortunately his skin was firm and fleshy, the arrows did not go deep into the flesh, so he was not seriously injured, so he felt relieved.It's just that he has been inseparable from this tiger since he was a child, and he felt very sorry to see it get hurt.

Li Qiufeng saw more and more officers and soldiers sticking out their heads on the hillside, and they kept shooting arrows at the entrance of the cave from both sides.Fortunately, the distance was still far away, and the momentum had already weakened when the feather arrow shot, so the threat was not very great.Zhu Sanjia whispered in Li Qiufeng's ear: "It seems that the infantry of the officers and soldiers has arrived. However, their cavalry suffered heavy casualties. The commander of the army did not know the situation in the valley, so he did not dare to order the officers and soldiers to attack on a large scale. Let's It is necessary to withdraw into the cave as soon as possible, and disperse the group of heroes to the various secret passages in the cave. At that time, it can be said that one man guards the gate, and ten thousand men cannot open it. Even if a hundred thousand officers and soldiers arrive together, there is nothing they can do for a while we."

Li Qiufeng said: "Brother Zhu, you are well versed in the art of war, and you need to be in charge of the battle with the officers and soldiers. It's just that when the officers and soldiers besiege the heroes, there are also people behind the scenes. If we fight with the officers and soldiers, we will lose both. The enemy's trick. Can you think of a way to let us escape quietly from the siege of the officers and soldiers, without having to fight to the death with them..."

The Zhu Sanjia showed distress, thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Young Master Li, when we escaped from the secret passage, you also saw the hanging stone ladder. If you want to take these three or 4000 people to escape from the secret passage Go, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time just to pass through that stone ladder..."

Hearing what he said, Li Qiufeng really shuddered when he thought of the danger of the stone ladder, knowing that Zhu Sanjia's worries were not completely unreasonable, so he nodded.Zhu Sanjia said: "In this cave, food, grass and water are all available. Although there are many heroes who have retreated into the cave, it is not difficult to hide for three to five days. It is very strange that the officers and soldiers have come, and the food and grass have been taken away by your friends. They won't last much longer if they're burned. Perhaps in a few days, they'll withdraw the siege and we'll be free."

While the two were talking, most of the heroes had retreated into the cave.After arriving, there were only a few people left outside the cave.While waving the long sword in his hand, Murong Danyan hit the flying feather arrows, and said to Li Qiufeng and Zhu Sanjia: "Brother Li, Brother Zhu, let's retreat into the cave too."

Seeing Deng Yao standing at the entrance of the cave, Li Qiufeng looked sadly at the corpses of the beggar gang in the valley, walked quickly to his side, and said in a low voice, "Master Deng, you need to preside over the important affairs of your gang. Let's hide in the cave for the time being, and we'll make further calculations."

The officers and soldiers on the hillside saw that most of the heroes had retreated into the cave, and even the huge tiger entered the cave with a young man shaking three times, so they had no scruples and slowly moved forward along the hillside. Arrived at the mouth of the valley.Li Qiufeng and Zhu Sanjia guarded Deng Yao and Murong Danyan from one left to the other. While waving the swords and guns in their hands, they knocked the incoming feather arrows away, while retreating towards the entrance of the cave.After retreating into the cave, Sha Zhongyu, who was waiting at the entrance of the cave, turned the mechanism, only to hear a loud "cracking" sound, and a huge stone gate slowly descended from the top of the cave, blocking the entrance of the cave tightly.

At this time, the cave was full of people, and there were three to four thousand people crowded.Liu Yong was guarding the entrance all the time, seeing Li Qiufeng retreating in, he hurried forward to meet him, saying, "Brother Li, it's really hard work for you!"

Li Qiufeng shook his head and said, "Thanks to the brothers from the Beggar Sect, we were able to get out of this difficulty."

After Liu Yong fled to the valley with Qunhao, he found the mechanism at the entrance of the cave and opened the stone gate.Mrs. Sha had been guarding the entrance of the cave with Hou Zhen. Liu Yong reported Li Qiufeng's name, and Mrs. Sha immediately let the group of heroes enter the cave.Liu Yong was worried that Li Qiufeng and others would not be able to escape the pursuit of the officers and soldiers, so he originally wanted to lead the disciples of the Huashan School out of the valley to meet them.It's just that the group of heroes poured into the cave one after another, blocking the entrance of the cave tightly for a while. The Huashan faction wanted to squeeze out of the cave, but they couldn't do it for a while.

Afterwards, more and more heroes entered the cave. Although Mrs. Sha was smart, everyone didn't know her, so seeing the chaos in the cave, Mrs. Sha couldn't handle it.Liu Yong had no choice but to stay in the cave, and together with the leaders of the Kunlun, Qingcheng, Emei and other major gangs, directed the group of heroes to settle in various places in the cave.After arriving, he heard the figures from the rivers and lakes fleeing into the cave narrate that the officers, soldiers and cavalry had entered the valley and were fighting fiercely with the beggar gang. Liu Yong was shocked and wanted to lead other experts to fight out to meet him.Mrs. Sha stopped him, and asked Sha Zhongyu to take Tiger Ah Er out of the cave to intercept the officers and soldiers.At the beginning, Sha Zhongyu was worried that there would be many heroes entering the cave, and that the tiger Ah Er would be disturbed by others and go berserk, causing casualties, so he hid it in a stone room.It's just that Sha Zhongyu has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he has long been fascinated by the affairs of the world.It's just that I have been living in Shajiabao all the time, and have no chance to walk around in the rivers and lakes.Ever since Murong Danyan broke into Shajiabao, he has become quite attached to Sha Zhongyu, and told him all kinds of strange things in the Jianghu, Sha Zhongyu listened with great interest, and wanted to make a living in the Jianghu.When he saw a large number of martial arts figures entering the cave, including Huashan, Kunlun, Qingcheng, Emei, Songshan and other legendary and upright masters, his heart was ecstatic, and he was already eager to try, thinking of going outside the cave to help Qunhao defends against the enemy.At this moment, Mrs. Sha ordered him to take Ah Er to help him punch, and right in the arms, she happily called Ah Er out.The group of heroes in the cave had never seen such a huge tiger. They all turned pale with fright, and hid aside one after another, watching Sha Zhongyu lead Ah Er out of the cave.

Mrs. Sha's calculations were very accurate. After Ah Er came out of the cave, he just roared twice, and the horses of the officers and cavalry were scared to death. The originally arrogant officers and cavalry almost wiped out.

Liu Yong stayed in the cave, while arranging various gangs to prepare for defense, while worrying about Li Qiufeng and others.After seeing Li Qiufeng retreat into the cave, his hanging heart was finally relieved.After exchanging a few words with Li Qiufeng, he said to Deng Yao: "Master Deng, all the heroes of the Beggar Clan went to the disaster generously and saved our lives. Please be respected by Liu."

After he finished speaking, he cupped his fists and saluted Deng Yao deeply.

For more than a hundred years, the Beggar Gang has been suppressed by the government, and its power is far from what it was back then. When it comes to the status of the Jianghu, let alone the top ten martial arts sects, it is compared with some second-rate gangs in the Jianghu. But it is also quite insufficient.Among the major gangs in the rivers and lakes, the Huashan faction, which ranks among the top five, bows to the Beggars' Gang. This honor has never been seen in decades for the Beggars' Gang.Although Deng Yao was saddened by the heavy casualties of his brothers, seeing Liu Yong being so polite made his heart feel better. Just as he was about to return the salute, he saw the leaders of Kunlun, Emei, Qingcheng, Songshan and other major sects also saluted one after another. , Many heroes of the rivers and lakes even expressed their thanks loudly.He was excited, and said loudly: "My friends, our beggar gang is also considered a part of the Jianghu, and it is really our duty to contribute to the martial arts. Friends, there is no need to do this!"

Seeing the commotion in the cave, Liu Yong immediately said loudly, "Everyone be quiet, I have something to say!"

His words were sent out with internal force, and they were clearly sent to everyone's ears.For a moment, the cave fell silent.Liu Yong looked around for a while, and jumped onto a rock by himself.He said loudly: "We spent a day and a night with the officers and soldiers, not only are you extremely sleepy, but even if you want to come to the Wu Zang Temple, it's empty..."

When he said this, many people patted their stomachs and shouted: "Not bad, not bad, I'm already hungry!" Liu Yong said with a smile: "Fortunately, the master here has prepared food, but we will eat it all at once. Three to 4000 people rushed in, and this meal cannot be prepared all at once. Just now, Liu has discussed with the gang leaders and heads, and allocated [-] brothers to help the master here prepare meals for everyone. Everyone just waits In one or two hours, you can have meals."

Before he finished speaking, the cave was full of applause.Some rough men couldn't bear it long ago, and even patted their stomachs with their hands.Liu Yong said with a smile: "Before the food is ready, everyone should rest well. After we are full, we will try to kill out."

It has been almost two days and one night since Qunhao left Hutouyan with the Huashan faction, and he is already extremely sleepy.Hearing Liu Yong's words, tiredness surged up immediately.As soon as Liu Yong's words fell, the group of lords sat down one after another, leaning against each other to rest. After a while, there were already snores in the cave, and the momentum was quite alarming.

Liu Yong jumped off the rock and walked towards Li Qiufeng.At this time, Deng Yao and Zhu Sanjia leaned against the rock wall and fell asleep with their eyes closed.Murong Danyan went to talk to Madam Sha.Therefore, only Xiao Zhanpeng was left beside Li Qiufeng, and the two were talking about their experiences after parting.Seeing Liu Yong approaching, Li Qiufeng said, "Mr. Liu, you'd better take a rest first after you've been running around for several days."

Liu Yong pulled Li Qiufeng to the side of the cave wall, found a place where there was no one there and sat down, then said to Li Qiufeng, "Brother Li, I don't understand something, and I want to ask Mr. Li for advice."

Li Qiufeng said: "Mr. Liu is polite, you can just say what you want, there is no need to ask for advice."

Liu Yongdao: "Things that happened these days are too strange when you think about them carefully. From the siege of Yu Changyuan and others in Wuhu Mountain Villa by the old shop of Gu's family, to the distress underground in the imperial mausoleum, to the battle in Yong'an City, and now to Hutouyansha's house Fort, Liu wants to break his head, but he doesn't understand what is going on. Brother Li, although you and I have only known each other for more than a month, Liu admires your martial arts knowledge very much. Can you give Liu some advice? Two, to solve the doubts in Liu's chest?"

Li Qiufeng smiled wryly, and said: "To be honest, I have reached this point, even I myself don't know what's going on!"
