A knife in love

Chapter 518

Li Qiufeng listened to the conversation between Shi Nianhao and Yang Ziqiao, the words were ordinary but impeccable, and he thought to himself: "Although these two people's status in the martial arts is not high, but the way they talk, they are very powerful , not like ordinary Jianghu figures, but more like old fritters from Jiuli official circles. Luoyang is worthy of being the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties, and even the two leaders of Jianghu gangs are so good. I'm afraid everyone is a human spirit."

Shi Nianhao hadn't spoken yet, but Shi Nianyang sneered and said, "Master Yang, my nephew Tianbao was killed by Wei Gan, it's a sure thing. But you put the responsibility completely aside, I really think our Shijiadao are blind Can't you make it with a fool?"

Shi Nianhao said in a deep voice: "Second brother, don't be rude to Master Yang!"

Shi Nianyang was indignant, and said loudly: "Master, the reputation and status of our Shijia Dao was earned by our predecessors with one sword and one gun! In the Battle of Yingyinggou, our Shijia lost more than a dozen lives, and it is only now that we are in today's situation. But after you took over as the master, you have repeatedly tolerated other sects. If this continues, if there is another Yingyinggou war, I am afraid that it will be our Shijiadao who will be driven out of Luoyang City."

When Miao Jian and others saw Shi Nianyang talking to Shi Nianhao like this, everyone was extremely surprised.It should be known that the most important thing in the Jianghu is the respect of status. It is extremely disrespectful for Shi Nianyang to speak like this to the head of the sect in front of people from other factions.

However, Li Qiufeng witnessed Shi Nianyang killing Shi Tianbao, so he knew that this person had long cherished ambitions.At this time, the words inside and outside the words are full of blame on Shi Nianhao, but it is not surprising.

Shi Nianhao said in a deep voice: "Second brother, in the Battle of Cherry Valley, your father fought bravely and made great contributions to our sect. The battle was instigated by others, and this turned into a tragedy. Both sides suffered heavy casualties, and there was no reason for hatred. Although this matter is unbearable for Lei Quanmen, for us Shijiadao, there is nothing to brag about."

When he said this, Shi Nianyang was already furious, his face was flushed red, and he was about to throw a tantrum at the sight.Shi Nianhao glanced at him, and then said: "Second brother, although you and I are not blood brothers, we are also relatives of the same blood. How can I not see your thoughts? Back then, Grandpa saw that uncle was too murderous. That’s why he has never passed on the position of head to him. Otherwise, based on the uncle’s knowledge of martial arts, he would have been the head of the Shijiadao. Back then, the uncle always regarded himself as the heir to the head, but grandpa He didn't say anything all the time, so he was eager to make a contribution and let his grandfather clarify his status as the heir to the head of the sect. Because of this, our sect and the Thunder Fist sect had a lot of trouble, and there was also the battle of Yingyinggou..."

Hearing this, Li Qiufeng couldn't help but tremble, thinking to himself that Shi Nianhao's words were hidden in a mystery, alluding to Shi Nianyang's father deliberately creating troubles in order to compete for the position of master of Shijiadao, and turned against Lei Quanmen.Even the battle between the two factions in Cherry Valley was deliberately triggered by Shi Nianyang's father.This is completely different from what Shi Nianyang said to Shi Tianbao before.

At this moment, Shi Nianyang was already furious, but he was very rich in the city. Although he wanted to kill Shi Nianhao with a single blow, his face remained unchanged, and he said in a deep voice: "Master, you mean that my father deliberately caused trouble, Can't the Thunder Fist Sect provoke you?"

Shi Nianhao shook his head and said: "Second brother, my uncle is all about winning glory for the historian, so how dare I have any slander against him? His old man is just a little irritable. If he hadn't been eager for success back then, he would have become our historian's knife long ago. The head of the family. The second child, the older generation has suffered, and we juniors must not repeat the same mistakes."

Shi Nianyang snorted, and said, "The head of the sect has taught you well. We must remember the teachings of the older generation!"

Both of them are scheming people, what they said sounds the same, but their meanings are completely opposite.It's just that other people don't know what it means when they hear it.Only Li Qiufeng and Peng Yuanxi know that the two are actually facing each other, and there is a cleverness hidden in their words.

Shi Nianhao turned his head and said to Yang Ziqiao: "Master Yang, both your faction and our faction suffered casualties today, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

Yang Ziqiao turned to look at Yang Xiao's body, pondered for a while, and then said: "There is something strange about the death of Tianbao's nephew, I have to call Wei Gan to confront Steward Shi. If it is Wei Gan Master Shi can rest assured that I will clean up the house, so that nephew Tianbao won't lose his life in vain."

Shi Nianhao nodded and said: "Nephew Yang met with misfortune, and Shi didn't take good care of him. I'm really sorry for Master Yang. Once this matter is over, Shi will definitely give Master Yang an explanation."

Miao Jian and the others were shocked. They saw Shi Nianyang kill Yang Xiao with their own eyes. At this time, they heard Shi Nianhao said that he would give Yang Ziqiao an explanation, and they all looked at Shi Nianyang in unison.But seeing Shi Nianyang standing aside, his face remained unchanged, showing a faint sneer.

Li Qiufeng hid in the tree, seeing that everyone in the forest had their own ghosts, he thought to himself: "Shi Nianhao and Yang Ziqiao's martial arts skills are not outstanding figures in the Jianghu, but the city is very deep. It is quite appropriate. In the past six months, I have had many contacts with Mr. Liu, Master Xu, and Master Chu. I don't know how many times stronger the two are. In the three battles of Huangling, Yong'an City, and Shajiabao, I was lucky enough to escape unscathed, and I already felt ecstatic. At this moment, when I think about it, I am still far behind these seniors in the rivers and lakes. In the future, you must maintain a humble heart, and you must not be frivolous and pretentious."

At this moment, he suddenly saw two people hiding in a big tree tens of feet away from him.He was startled, and looked intently, only to see that the two men were Yu Fan and Yu Chengsi.Li Qiufeng's heart trembled, and he thought to himself: "These two people don't know how to live or die. They had nothing to do with this matter, but they came back to spy on them. If these people in the world find out, they will inevitably cause great trouble. How can we think of a way? It would be good for these two people to get out of trouble.”

At this moment, people outside the forest suddenly heard the neighing of horses.Li Qiufeng thought to himself, could Shijiadao and Leiquanmen have backup again?Just as he was wondering, he heard someone outside the forest shouting loudly: "Master Han, the prefect of Luoyang Prefecture, has arrived! Idle people, please avoid quickly!"

When Shi Nianhao, Yang Ziqiao and others heard that the magistrate had arrived, their expressions changed drastically.Miao Jian and the others were even more disturbed, thinking that although there were casualties in the gang fights in the Jianghu, they would never have anything to do with the government.I have never heard of any gang that suffered a big loss in the battle and would report to the government.Officials at all levels also know the rules of the Jianghu gangs, as long as these gangs do not raise their flags to rebel, they will turn a blind eye and close their eyes.Otherwise, if it is investigated, the death and injury of three people will be a major case, and the case will be sent directly to the capital for review by the Ministry of Officials.The local officials couldn't escape the blame, so Wusha couldn't keep it.Therefore, the local officials have always been able to ignore the vendettas in the Jianghu, as long as there is no major disturbance.It's just that Shijiadao and Leiquanmen lost more than [-] lives in this forest at this time. If the magistrate arrives, this will be a major case that will shock the world.I'm afraid that the Luoyang government will not be able to cover up the case if they want to.At that time, Xiaoyaoguan, Yinmachuan, Nantong Escort, etc. will also be involved, and they will be watched by the government.Miao Jian and the others feel distressed when they think that the gold and silver they have worked so hard to accumulate will be blackmailed by the wolf-like government.

Everyone originally thought that the officers and soldiers would rush in, but they didn't know that a large number of officers and soldiers stopped at the edge of the forest.After a while, someone shouted loudly: "Prefect Han has an order to invite Mr. Shi Nianhao, Mr. Yang Ziqiao and Mr. Yang to come and meet."

Miao Jian breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the officers and soldiers did not enter the forest, there would be room for maneuver.Shi Nianhao and Yang Ziqiao looked at each other, nodded at the same time, turned their heads and gave some instructions to their disciples, then walked out of the forest side by side.

After the two left, Miao Jian said to Shi Nianyang: "Master Shi's family, the officers and soldiers are here now, we have to find a way to temporarily dispose of the bodies of Young Master Shi and Young Master Yang, otherwise the officers and soldiers will find out. It's not a good thing."

Although Shi Nianyang wanted to stir up a dispute between Shijiadao and Leiquanmen, but if the government was alarmed at this time, it would be extremely unfavorable to him.Therefore, when Miao Jian said it, he nodded and said: "Let's hide the remains of Tianbao and other disciples, and first defraud the officers and soldiers before we talk about it!"

Everyone was thinking in the same way, and when they heard what Shi Nianyang said, they drew out their swords and dug a hole in the ground.These people are all from the martial arts world, and at this moment they were anxious again, so they worked harder than usual to dig the pits. In a short while, more than 20 pits have been dug on the ground.Everyone put the corpses of Shi Tianbao and others into the pit, and some people took off their clothes, covered the faces of these corpses, and then covered the pit with earth.The disciples of Leiquanmen saw that Shijiadao disciples buried Shi Tianbao and others' bodies in the ground, so they did the same and buried Yang Xiao's body in the ground.

After a stick of incense, Shi Nianhao and Yang Ziqiao walked back side by side.Miao Jian and the others felt uneasy. They looked at the faces of the two of them, but they couldn't see anything unusual.There was another burst of people shouting and neighing outside the forest, but the sound gradually faded away, and finally turned into silence.

Shi Nianhao and Yang Ziqiao returned to their respective sects, and when there was silence outside the forest, Yang Ziqiao cupped his hands at Shi Nianhao and said, "Since prefect Han has ordered you to come down, our Thunder Fist Sect has nothing to say. I will go back to Longmen first, and ask Wei Gan to ask questions." Make it clear, and then discuss with Master Shi how to deal with this matter."

Shi Nianhao cupped his hands in return, and said: "Master Yang, you can rest assured, Shi will definitely explain this matter to your faction."

The disciples of the Thunder Fist School heard that the officers and soldiers had already retreated, and at this time they dug Yang Xiao's body out of the soil again.Yang Ziqiao looked at his son's body with a pale face, waved at the disciples, and then walked out of the forest.Two Thunder Fist disciples carried Yang Xiao's body, and the rest of the disciples followed one by one, following Yang Ziqiao slowly out of the trees.

After the Thunder Fist Sect members left, Shi Nianhao said to Miao Jian and the others: "Master Miao, Mr. Peng, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang, I have troubled you all. I am very grateful to Mr. Shi. I would like to thank you all. , this kindness can only be repaid in the future."
