A knife in love

Chapter 519

Miao Jian and the others were polite, Zhang Bin was a little worried, and said to Shi Nianhao: "Master Shi, I wonder what Prefect Han said?"

Shi Nianhao sighed, and said: "What else can I say? It's nothing more than asking us not to make trouble, otherwise he won't be able to suppress it if something happens. The provincial capital has received a document from the Ministry of Criminal Justice in the capital, saying that there are a large number of criminals in the world recently. Characters caused troubles near the capital. Although they have been suppressed by the court, the rest of the party has scattered everywhere, and many of them have even arrived in Henan. Therefore, the governor of Henan also issued a notice, asking all prefectures and counties to strictly investigate suspicious persons. The prefect Han said, in At this juncture, if any gang is reckless and causes trouble, the imperial court will definitely deal with it strictly and will never forgive it."

Although Miao Jian went late and did not catch up with the Battle of the Imperial Mausoleum and the battle of Yong'an City, he saw the Hutouyan meeting with his own eyes. Thinking of the power and power gathered by the imperial army, his heart shuddered, and he secretly regretted that he should not have come with Shi Nianhao Here, not only is there no benefit at all, but it is very easy to get into trouble.At this time, I just want to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible and return to Xiaoyao Temple to avoid the court's detection.

While he was thinking, he heard Shi Nianhao say: "Although Mr. Han reprimanded our Shijiadao and Leiquanmen, he said one thing, which is very strange."

When Shi Nianhao said this, he glanced at Shi Nianyang, and then continued: "Tianbao led people to track down the tomb robbers, and chased them all the way from Luoyang City to the south gate. Although this child sometimes behaves improperly, he also knows that our Shijia Dao and Thunder The Fist Sect is so filthy, and I haven't been so ignorant as to lead someone to openly break into the Thunder Fist Sect's territory. Therefore, after he left the city, he stayed for a while and sent a doorman back to the city to report the matter to me, asking for instructions on what to do next. How to deal with it. At that time, I told him not to make any mistakes, only to go around the city before returning to the city, and never to chase south. However, after the disciple left the city, he saw that the Yamen sent people to find Tianbao. It is said that the tomb robber fled all the way south and ran straight to Yishui, and asked Tianbao to lead people to catch the thief. With the strict order of the Yamen, Tianbao did not dare to neglect, and led people to chase it all the way, and then entered the customs by mistake The Emperor Shengjun Temple caused such a catastrophe. However, before continuing southward, Tianbao sent the doorman back to explain the reason for the southward pursuit in detail. People chased south, but he can't be blamed. It's just that when I talked about this with the prefect Han, he said that he didn't send anyone to give Tianbao an order to follow him south."

When Miao Jian and others heard Shi Nianhao's words, everyone's heart trembled.Zhang Bin said tremblingly: "Could it be, could it be that the young master was deliberately deceived by someone to break into Guandi Shengjun Temple?"

Shi Nianhao said: "That's right. Some people set up a suspicious formation and tricked Tianbao into Leiquanmen's territory, just to provoke a battle between Shijia Dao and Leiquanmen, so that he can reap the benefits."

When he said this, he sighed slightly, and continued: "More than ten years ago, someone deliberately caused an incident, causing our Shijiadao and Leiquanmen to fight in Yingyinggou. Three or forty people died on both sides. The masters and celebrities are almost empty. Although our historians won by luck, we have formed an enemy. For more than ten years, we have been trembling and worried about being assassinated. Originally, the Shijia Dao and the Leiquanmen coexisted peacefully in Luoyang City. In fact, the annual income is also quite a lot. It’s just that after the Thunder Fist Sect withdrew from Luoyang City, the sect only cared about the enemy’s counterattack at all times, so they had to set up eyeliners and spend money to eliminate disasters. The annual expenditure increased sharply, and the income decreased. Half, the past few years are just trying to maintain it. Thinking about it carefully, the battle with Thunder Fist is really not worth the candle!"

Miao Jian and Zhang Bin are both leaders of a faction, so they naturally know that it is not easy to make profits.According to Shi Nianhao's words, both of them have sympathy for each other.

Shi Nianyang raised his eyebrows, and said to Shi Nianhao: "Master, you mean that we were completely wrong in defeating the Thunder Fist Sect in Cherry Valley? Do we want our ancestors to kneel down and worship the Thunder Fist Sect, then pack up and Fleeing from Luoyang City in a hurry, so that the wish of the head is fulfilled?"

Shi Nianhao shook his head and said: "Second brother, don't say such angry words. The most important thing right now is to find out who is soliciting truth behind the scenes, and wants us to fight Lei Quanmen so that he can profit from it. Otherwise, the If the matter continues, I'm afraid we and Lei Quanmen will both lose, and the villain will benefit."

Shi Nianyang sneered and said, "Master, Tianbao's nephew just gave up his life for nothing?"

Shi Nianhao said in a deep voice: "Tianbao's handling of the situation was unfavorable, which caused the faction to encounter a crisis. Even if he lost his life, it was because of his fault first. However, someone deliberately dug a trap to harm him, and this account cannot be counted."

When Shi Nianhao said this, he suddenly smiled coldly, and said to Shi Nianyang: "Second brother, do you think so?"

In the past few decades, Shi Nianyang has never seen Shi Nianhao sneer so much.Although he has always looked down on Shi Nianhao and his son, but seeing Shi Nianhao's appearance at this time, he felt panic in his heart, forced a smile, and said: "What the head said is true. Our Shi family swords are united, and we must do it for Tianbao." Nephew revenge."

After the officers and soldiers retreated, Shi Jiadao's disciples dug out the corpses of Shi Tianbao and others from the soil, dusted off the dust on their bodies, and put them aside.Shi Nianhao ordered the disciples to carry the corpses on the horse, whispered a few words to Miao Jian and the others, and then led them out of the forest and returned to Luoyang City.Before leaving, several disciples of Shijiadao dug and buried the bodies of the boss and Xiao Er who died in the wine house, and then burned the wine house to white ground.

Li Qiufeng hid in the tree, watching Leiquanmen and Shijiadao sects leave one after another, and then saw Yu Fan and Yu Chengsi also quietly jumped down from the tree, and followed Shi Nianhaojie and others from afar.He thought to himself, looking at the appearance of Shi Nianhao and Yang Ziqiao, they are very resourceful and will not be easily schemed by others.Although Shi Nianyang wanted to provoke a fight, he was afraid that the two of them would not be fooled.The battles between these rivers and lakes sects have nothing to do with me, so I don't need to worry about it.Although I don't know if the people behind Shi Nianyang are related to the Liu Sheng family, but these people probably won't target me.The most important thing right now is to find out what the hell Situ Qiao is doing in Guandi Shengjun Temple. Otherwise, when that person arrives, I will follow him back to Sichuan. Even if I want to track down Situ Qiao, I will be unable to do so. .

After Yu Fan and Yu Chengsi were far away, the forest was completely silent.Li Qiufeng looked at the sun, reckoning that it was Shen time and there was still some time before sunset.If Situ Qiao wanted to make trouble in Guandi Shengjun Temple, he could only do it when the night was dark.So he jumped down from the big tree, walked all the way north, returned to the inn in Luoyang City, packed up his things, went to the nearby tavern and asked for a basket of steamed buns, and a bowl of rice noodles, and devoured them hungrily. ate.Seeing that it was getting dark outside, he left the tavern and walked straight to the south gate.

When he arrived at the south gate, it was already dark, and the soldiers guarding the gate were closing the city gate.Li Qiufeng was taken aback, wondering why the city gate had to be closed so early.He was about to rush out of the door when two soldiers stopped him and forbade him to leave the city.At this time, many people inside and outside the city were going in and out of the city gate. Seeing that the city gate was closed, they all turned pale with fright, rushed forward one after another, begging the soldiers to open the city gate.A military leader said: "It's not that we intend to embarrass everyone. Today, the provincial capital has passed down a document, saying that there are bandits fleeing. All prefectures and counties should strengthen their vigilance and strictly investigate. The provincial capital has curfew, and our Luoyang city also The door must be closed and locked in advance to prevent bandits from taking the opportunity to sneak into the city and commit crimes."

Li Qiufeng thought that Shi Nianhao had indeed said this in the woods, but in order to track Situ Qiao, he had to go out of the city.So he took out Jin Yiwei's badge from his pocket, walked quietly to the army leader, and showed him the badge.When the leader saw Jin Yiwei's badge, his face turned pale with fright, and even his voice trembled.Li Qiufeng only said that he was ordered to go to Luoyang City to handle the case, and he had to leave the city for business.The leader repeatedly agreed, and ordered the city gate to be opened halfway, and Li Qiufeng was let out of the city.Seeing that the city gate was open, the people inside and outside the city rushed forward, wanting to take this opportunity to enter and exit the city gate.It's just that after seeing Li Qiufeng leaving the city, the soldiers immediately closed the city gate tightly, and the common people had to yell and swear and disperse.

After Li Qiufeng left the city, he strode south.When he arrived, he saw that there was no one on the road, so he performed lightness kung fu, but within a stick of incense kung fu, he had already rushed outside the gate of Guandi Shengjun Temple.At this time, there was no one in front of the big temple, and the surrounding area was completely silent.Li Qiufeng jumped into the temple, but saw that except for the main hall, there were no lights in the other halls.Li Qiufeng rushed up and down, and after a while, he had arrived at Guanzhong behind the third hall.But at this time, three large white waxes were lit on the stone offering table in front of the round mound, which looked extremely strange in the darkness.

Li Qiufeng jumped under a big tree on the right side of Guanzhong, just in time to have a panoramic view of the entire Guanzhong.It's just that the surroundings are pitch black at the moment, and only the faint light of three white waxes can be seen, which is rather strange.

Li Qiufeng has been to Guanzhong many times, but he has never been here at night.Looking at the huge round mound in the darkness at this moment, I thought to myself that Guan Yu, a famous general of his generation, would end up with a decapitated body and annihilated entire army.It's better to be a fisherman who fishes alone in the cold river and snow, and you can be at ease.Ever since I was working in Jinyiwei, I have seen with my own eyes that many civil servants and military generals have their homes raided and interrogated.Therefore, although the rivers and lakes are dangerous, they are much better than temples.

He thought for a while about the factional struggles in the imperial court, and then thought of the treacherous turmoil in the Jianghu, he couldn't help sighing.In the end, he thought of Murong Danyan who was seriously injured, and his life and death were unknown at this time, and his heart ached again.Ever since he left the capital, he didn't dare to think about Murong Danyan's life or death.Staring at the dispute between Leiquanmen and Shijiadao for the past two days, it may not have been possible to temporarily forget Murong Danyan's thoughts by investigating this matter, but he has been suppressing himself and dare not think about it.

While he was thinking, he suddenly heard a light "click" sound from a distance, as if a tree branch was broken in the wind.Li Qiufeng's heart trembled, and he thought to himself: "Situ Qiao is here!"
