A knife in love

Chapter 357

At this time, more and more gang leaders gathered around Li Qiufeng and Liu Yong, and finally even Taoist Qingfeng, the head of the Taihua faction, joined them.Liu Yong told everyone about the situation here, and finally said: "All the gang leaders and sect leaders, we are taking refuge in this cave for now. Please, all gang masters and sect leaders, restrain the brothers and disciples in the gang. Walking around. The road in this cave is full of twists and turns, if you enter by mistake, you may be injured or killed."

The heads of all the gangs nodded one after another, and after discussing for a while, they dispersed.Liu Yong was about to turn around and leave, but Li Qiufeng pulled him lightly and gave him a wink.Liu Yong understood and stayed.After the gang leaders left, Li Qiufeng lowered his voice and told him about the Jingxin Temple.Liu Yong was shocked, and said: "I didn't expect this cave to have such a history. Yao Guangxiao was a great figure more than a hundred years ago. The world regarded him as the reincarnation of Zhuge Liang and Liu Bowen. It's just that this person specializes in tricks and tricks. , the killing is too tragic, and he is not a person of chivalry. Liu once heard the seniors of the Huashan School say that although Yao Guangxiao is a member of the sect of Buddhism, he actually pursues the art of yin and yang in Taoism. It is said that this person's The master is a Taoist, proficient in swordsmanship, and was defeated by Zhang Sanfeng, the founder of the Wudang School. At that time, Zhang Sanfeng was famous all over the world, and he was a generation of masters admired by everyone in the martial arts. It is reasonable to say that he was defeated by Zhang Sanfeng's sword. It is not a shameful thing for this Taoist, not to mention it is said that he fought with Zhang Sanfeng for more than two hundred moves, and only then was he narrowly defeated by Zhang Sanfeng's Tai Chi sword, which can be said to be an honorable defeat. He was worried about the matter, but he couldn't think of the martial arts to break the Taiji swordsmanship. His temper became more and more extreme. Later, he accepted Yao Guangxiao as his apprentice. In addition to teaching him Taoism and martial arts, he even passed on this extreme temper to Yao Guangxiao. It's just that Yao Guangxiaoqing was born out of Lan and was better than Lan. He not only became a generation of martial arts masters, but also integrated Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism, and mastered the art of Yin and Yang. In the end, it led to a catastrophe. Since he built this Jingxin Temple, there must be a lot of murderous agencies in it, so it's better not to provoke it."

Li Qiufeng said: "Mr. Liu, I also know that Yao Guangxiao is a very troublesome person. But to be honest, there are enough weapons, grain, gunpowder and other supplies for tens of thousands of troops hidden in this cave. Once they get the fort, they will be able to attack the capital within three days, and by then, the world will be in chaos and the people will die."

Liu Yong didn't know that Shajiabao had been controlled by Dongchang and Liusheng Zongyan. Hearing what Li Qiufeng said, he was taken aback and said, "Invade the capital within three days? How is this possible? Sha Yiming Want to rebel?"

Li Qiufeng said: "Sha Yiming, the owner of Shajiabao, passed away more than ten years ago. The person we saw in Shajiabao is a fake. He is Sha Yiming's younger brother, Sha Yilu!"

Li Qiufeng briefly told Liu Yong about the martial arts contest between Sha Yiming and Yan Wuji, and finally said: "Sha Yilu pretended to be Sha Yiming, colluded with Dongchang and Liu Sheng's clan, and wanted to overthrow the Ming Dynasty. Two or three thousand evil faction figures have been recruited in the family castle, plus the scum of the rivers and lakes bought by Liu Sheng's family in recent years, and the rebels that Yun Feiyang took in in the green forest villages around the capital recently, the number may not be less than 3 to 3. If they After taking out the weapons and luggage in the cave, these [-] people got the supplies and took the capital easily. It's just that these people don't know that Yao Guangxiao left the weapons and luggage in the cave, so we have to grab them Destroy this cave in front, and at the worst, you must hide your weapons and luggage, so as not to be used by rebels."

Hearing what Li Qiufeng said, Liu Yong was terrified, and murmured: "Sha Yiming has been powerful in martial arts for decades, but he is no longer around. It's just that since Yan Wuji escaped from Shajiabao Why have there been no news for more than ten years? I also heard about Yan Wuji's name back then, and I knew that he was arrogant and arrogant. There was no winner in the battle of Yiming, and it could even be said that he had already won the contest. Since this person escaped from Shajiabao, how could he be willing to live in seclusion? What's more, after the battle between the two, Yan's family is getting worse and worse. The situation is weak, and within three years the family is close to being wiped out. Yan Wuji values ​​the Yan family's status in the martial arts world the most, how can he just sit back and watch the family fall? It doesn't make sense, it really doesn't make sense!"

Li Qiufeng had never thought about these things. He heard Liu Yong's words clearly and logically, but he was also thoughtful in his heart.Seeing that he was silent, Liu Yong continued, "When we came to Shajiabao this time, we thought we would see a duel between martial arts masters that was rarely seen in a century, but we didn't expect there to be so many twists and turns. It seems As Brother Li said, someone dug a huge trap and trapped us all in it."

Li Qiufeng pondered for a moment, and said to Liu Yong: "It seems that they have been planning this conspiracy for many years, and now the time has come, they will take the opportunity to launch..."

Liu Yong was startled, and said, "The time has come? Why do you say the time has come now?"

Li Qiufeng said: "Mr. Liu is not an official in the imperial court, so I'm afraid he doesn't know much about the party disputes in the imperial court. This matter originated from the dispute between Mr. Zhang and Mr. Wang the year before last. At first, the post of inspector of salt in Zhejiang and Zhejiang was vacant. Lord Zhang and Lord Wang both wanted to put their disciples in this position, so they asked their respective disciples in the official department to recommend their own people. The papers from the official department were handed over to the cabinet, and the two of them naturally refused to agree, and even quarreled. The incident became more and more troublesome, and the two factions accused each other, competing to attack each other. Later, Mr. Wang published a memorandum, exposing the Lianghuai Salt Administration to buy land in the south of the Yangtze River, buy people's land, and conceal food and taxes. Then The Lianghuai Yanzheng is Master Zhang’s disciple, and Lord Wang’s goal is naturally Master Zhang’s party behind Lord Yanzheng. How could Master Zhang be willing to wait for death, and immediately summoned his party members to report and attack Lord Wang’s faction. It broke out, and finally got out of control, and even involved the elders of the late emperor. These big bosses have their own powers, and they are intertwined. There is me in you, and you in me. If you trace the source, you can even implicate The Hu Weiyong case and the Lanyu case at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty were also mixed with the feud between the remaining party of Jianwen and the Yan Palace after the Jingnan Battle, and the entanglement between the vassals who failed to fight for the throne and the court. Over the past hundred years, the powerless Princes and officials have never given up, and the faction that has gained power is always on guard against the resurgence of the opponent. The hatred is like a ball of snow rolling and getting bigger and bigger, like a rope, getting tighter and tighter, and finally it is time for the factions to draw their swords against each other What's more. Fusang warriors have sneaked into the Central Plains, ready to move, and the Tartars outside the pass are also eyeing. Mr. Liu, we are surrounded by enemies now, and each of us holds a knife in his hand. We all want us to help them stab someone else, and then They stab us again. If we don’t help them stab us, all of these people will stab us.”

The more Liu Yong heard it, the more frightened he became. After Li Qiufeng finished speaking, his face turned ashen, and he was speechless for a while.Li Qiufeng said: "Right now, the knives in these people's hands are pointing at us. If you want to survive, you can't resist. You have to find a way to get out first, and then find a way out. Since we can't leave the cave for the time being, it's better to go to meditation first. Go to the temple and see if there is any way out."

Liu Yong knew that Yao Guangxiao was an extremely difficult person to provoke, so he didn't want to take any risks.It's just that right now, as Li Qiufeng said, there is no basis for advancing or retreating. Going to Jingxin Temple may find a way out.So he nodded, and said to Li Qiufeng in a low voice: "It's okay for us to go and have a look, but we must not disturb too many people. Otherwise, a crowd of heroes will swarm away, and it will cause trouble instead."

Li Qiufeng nodded in agreement, and said to Liu Yong: "Mr. Liu, which friends do you think would be more appropriate to invite to go with you?"

Liu Yong pondered for a moment, then said the names of several masters, and Li Qiufeng nodded in agreement.Liu Yong immediately turned around and contacted those heads. Li Qiufeng called Zhu Sanjia and explained his decision to go to Jingxin Temple to find out.Although the Zhu family had no objection, they said with some concern: "Young Master Li, I can only guarantee that the mechanism will not be activated when entering the courtyard. If you want to enter the main hall and wing rooms, I'm afraid it will be dangerous..."

Li Qiufeng said: "This Mr. Li has already thought of it. When I was discussing with Mr. Liu just now, I asked him to bring friends from the world who are proficient in government information. We have three or four thousand heroes here. We need to find out how many It is not difficult to think about the masters who are proficient in mechanisms. Even if they are not as powerful as Yao Guangxiao, there is always a way to keep us safe."

When he said this, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Murong Danyan walking over with a smile.Li Qiufeng's heart trembled, and he hurriedly said to Zhu Sanjia: "Brother Zhu, please don't tell Miss Murong about this..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Murong Danyan had already arrived beside the two of them, and said with a smile: "Old Wu Xiao is really ignorant, he just said that tigers can't go into the water, I see this Er is very powerful, let alone go into the water , maybe they will ride the clouds and ride the fog!"

Li Qiufeng was afraid that she would know that everyone wanted to investigate the Jingxin Temple, and with her temperament, she would definitely go with her.Thinking about Yao Guangxiao, there must be murderous threats everywhere in Jingxin Temple, if he brought Murong Danyan with him, he would be tied up, it would be extremely difficult to protect her well.Therefore, when he heard Murong Danyan speak, he had no choice but to follow suit, trying to get her away.

I don't know that the more I fear something, the more it will come.Murong Danyan was dancing and telling interesting stories about Tiger Ah Er, Liu Yong had already brought a dozen or so masters with him and came over.Among them were the guild masters and heads of the Kunlun, Songshan, Qingcheng, Diancang, Liuhe, Beggars, and other major gangs, and there was also a man in Tsing Yi, about 40 years old, with a pair of eyes shining brightly, very sturdy .

Seeing Liu Yong and others arrived, Li Qiufeng thought that things were going to get worse, and when he was about to speak, he heard Liu Yong say to him: "Brother Li, you know all these gang leaders and leaders. It's just this brother, Liu Yong I still want to introduce you."

As he spoke, he pointed to the man in Tsing Yi and said, "This friend's surname is Situ, with the word 'Qiao' in his name. He is the successor of the Hua family in the capital. The two of you are lucky to be so close."
