A knife in love

Chapter 532

Although Li Qiufeng had made up his mind, it was just that this road went north from the north gate of Luoyang, crossed the Yellow River and went straight to Taiyuan, Shanxi. It was the thoroughfare from Henan to Shanxi and Hebei.Therefore, people come and go on the avenue, which is very lively.From time to time, the government's postmen and officers and soldiers galloped past on fast horses, stirring up clouds of smoke and dust.Li Qiufeng wanted to catch up with Situ Qiao several times, but because of the constant pedestrians around him, he couldn't find a chance to do so.

The two of them walked for more than twenty miles one after the other, and a huge town appeared in front of them.Li Qiufeng was anxious, and thought to himself, would it be impossible to follow Situ Bridge across the Yellow River until Beijing?While hesitating, Situ Qiao swaggered into the town.Li Qiufeng had no choice but to follow.

This town is indeed not small. The official road runs through the whole town from south to north. There are various shops lined up on both sides of the road. There are many pedestrians and it is very lively.It was almost noon at this time, and the taverns everywhere were the busiest.The aroma of food and wine wafted over the official road, attracting the attention of passers-by.

After Situ Qiao entered the town, his feet slowed down.When he reached the door of a tavern with an apricot-yellow wine flag hanging at the door, he stopped, turned his head and looked around, and then walked into the tavern.Li Qiufeng mingled in the crowd, and when Situ Qiao stopped, he hid behind the crowd.It wasn't until Situ Qiao entered the tavern that he walked to the door of the tavern with the flow of people, and glanced into the tavern from the corner of his eyes.It's just that the diners at the entrance of the tavern came in and out, so they couldn't see what it looked like inside.

Li Qiufeng thought to himself, this place is forty or fifty miles away from Luoyang, and if we go further, we will arrive at the Yellow River Ferry.If you don't do it again, it will be even more difficult to get Situ Qiao on the ferry.It's better to beat Situ Qiao with three punches and two kicks here, grab Situ Qiao's burden and leave. If you want to use Situ Qiao's martial arts, you can't stop yourself.

He made up his mind, walked slowly to the door of the tavern, pretended to have a stuffy nose, coughed a few times, covered half of his face with the sleeve of his left hand, and staggered into the tavern.

There are more than [-] tables in the tavern, which are full of diners at this time.Several waiters ran around sweating profusely, some were tidying up tables and stools, while others were serving dishes.Some of the diners opened their mouths to chew, and some chatted, mixed with the sound of friction and collision of pots and spoons from the back hall when cooking, it can be said to be full of people and extremely noisy.

After Li Qiufeng entered the tavern, his eyes were like lightning, and he had a panoramic view of the situation in the room.But I saw Situ Qiao sitting at the table closest to the wall at the east end, still carrying his burden, and slowly drinking a cup of tea.There were four people crowded at this table, and it seemed that they didn't know each other.Because the food was not served yet, they all sat at the table without looking sideways, with somewhat embarrassed expressions.

Li Qiufeng was afraid that Situ Qiao would recognize him, so he didn't want to sit near him, so he turned his head to look west, but saw that there was an empty stool next to a table, so he walked over quickly.After he sat down, he saw that there were still five people sitting at the same table, some were eating steamed buns and drinking soup, some were holding wine glasses, drinking and eating with a plate of small dishes in front of them, very proud.

Li Qiufeng asked for a bowl of Xaozi noodles, but never took his eyes off Situ Qiao.At this time, Situ Qiao happened to have his back facing him, so he didn't have to worry about being discovered by Situ Qiao.Li Qiufeng thought to himself: "It seems that Situqiao's food hasn't been served yet. When he was eating, I walked over quietly, snatched his bag and left. Forgive him for not daring to chase after him." Come up, even if you want to catch up, you may not be able to catch up."

Li Qiufeng made up his mind, and felt a lot more relaxed.At this time, I heard someone say: "Two bowls of big meat noodles, I want clear soup."

Li Qiufeng was taken aback, wondering why the voice was so familiar.He turned his head to look, but saw two more people in the tavern, standing by a table at the door, calling Xiao Er loudly to order.However, Li Qiufeng knew that these two people were Yu Fan and Yu Chengsi whom he had seen many times in Luoyang City and Guandi Shengjun Temple.

Li Qiufeng couldn't help but smiled wryly, and thought to himself, he and these two people are really destined to meet each other unexpectedly.He knew that these two people were just minor officials who went to Xiuwu County to serve. Although their martial arts were not weak, they had nothing to do with him, so he didn't care about them.It's just that he glanced at the door blindly, but couldn't help but be surprised.

I saw three men in Tsing Yi walking by the door of the tavern.The three people looked indifferent, but when they walked past the door of the tavern, they glanced at the tavern at the same time.At this moment, Li Qiufeng looked at the three people with a sinister look in his eyes, which made people shudder.Li Qiufeng has seen this kind of gaze many times in the past few months.

Li Qiufeng thought to himself: "Why are these people here? Could it be that I misread it?"

While he was thinking, three men in Tsing Yi had already walked past the tavern.After a while, two more men in Tsing Yi arrived in front of the tavern.The two men held a long and narrow bundle in their left hands, apparently containing weapons.

Shortly after the two men in Tsing Yi walked past the door of the tavern, two more men in Tsing Yi walked past the tavern.Like the five people who passed by before, these two people held the long and narrow bundle in their left hands, glanced at the inside of the tavern in front of the tavern door, and then walked slowly.

Li Qiufeng knew that his guess was correct, and these seven people must be the killers of the Liusheng clan.

Before that, Li Qiufeng had encountered Liu Sheng's killers many times, and there were 60 or [-] Fusang killers who died under his hands.After rebelling against Liu Sheng Zongyan every month, he once told Li Qiufeng that when Liu Sheng's killers kill people, they always work in groups of seven and cooperate with each other, which can be said to be seamless.

Li Qiufeng knew that Liu Shengzongyan was determined to usurp the Great Ming Dynasty, but this time he suffered serious setbacks at Hutouyan and the Imperial Mausoleum, and was forced by Murong Danqing to flee everywhere, very embarrassed.Although many martial arts scoundrels were bought in Shajiabao, buddies like Sha Yilu and Sun Ze were awarded the head, and powerful masters such as Morita Kogoro, Feihua, and Zhuyue were also killed one after another.And in the valley under Hutou Rock, he and Xiao Zhanpeng joined forces to kill dozens of assassins from the Liusheng clan.It can be said that after this battle, the strength of Liu Sheng's family was greatly damaged.Liu Sheng Zongyan was actually played by Liu Kang, Yang Tinghe, Yang Zhenzhong and others in the palm of his hand. After being severely injured by this, he was temporarily unable to fight again.Therefore, after Li Qiufeng went south, he didn't take Liu Sheng's family seriously.Unexpectedly, another killer from the Yagyu clan suddenly appeared in this remote town.

Li Qiufeng originally thought that taking advantage of Situ Qiao's unpreparedness, he would grab the burden from his shoulders and leave.But when Fusang Killer suddenly appeared, he changed his mind.He knew that in the three battles of Imperial Mausoleum, Yong'an City, and Shajiabao, he had already killed the assassins of Liu Sheng's clan to death.Although these Fusang people are vicious, cunning, and vicious, they are the most bullying and fearful.Now that he was terrified by his own killing, he didn't dare to provoke him easily.Therefore, the sudden appearance of these seven killers was not aimed at him in all likelihood.Could it be that Situ Qiao provoked these killers, and they chased him all the way from the capital to here?

When Li Qiufeng was thinking about it, Xiaoer had already brought up the noodles.Li Qiufeng was really hungry, so after receiving the noodles, he started to eat.At this time, the food that Situ Qiao had ordered had already been brought to the table, and he was so absorbed in eating that he didn't realize that Li Qiufeng was sitting behind him and staring at him.

After Situ Qiao finished eating, he put a few copper coins on the table, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, got up and walked out of the shop.After Situ Qiao went out, Li Qiufeng put down the bowl and put four Wen coins on the table, talked to Xiao Er, and then walked out of the shop.

When he walked behind Yu Fan and Yu Chengsi, he saw that most of the noodles in their bowls had been eaten.Li Qiufeng knew that Yu Fan was a vigilant person, so he was afraid that he would see through Xingzang, so he didn't dare to stay beside the two of them, and walked quickly towards the door.

When he reached the main road, he saw that Situ Qiao had walked dozens of steps away.Li Qiufeng followed quickly, but saw that the seven men in Tsing Yi who had just walked past the door of the tavern were still divided into three groups, standing not far from the tavern, staring at the door of the tavern.When Situ Qiao walked past the seven people, the people in Tsing Yi ignored Situ Qiao.Li Qiufeng thought to himself, it seems that these people in Tsing Yi did not come for Situ Qiao, but for another purpose.

When he passed by three groups of people in Tsing Yi, the people in Tsing Yi didn't even look at him, they just stared at the door of the tavern.Li Qiufeng was terrified, thinking to himself that these killers were staring at the tavern, could it be that they traveled thousands of miles to track down Yu Fan and Yu Chengsi?

Originally, Li Qiufeng didn't care about Fan and Yu Chengsi, he just thought that he just met them by chance.It's just that if the Liusheng family is involved, things will definitely not be as simple as he originally thought.He wanted to stay and see what happened, but Situ Qiao was getting farther and farther away, and he was no longer allowed to stay here.So Li Qiufeng gritted his teeth, ignored these killers, and followed Situ Qiao to the north.

The two walked one after the other for another half a stick of incense, but they were almost at the northern end of the town.There were more and more pedestrians on the street, talking and laughing constantly, as if they were going to a lively place.When Li Qiufeng was surprised, a huge open space suddenly appeared in front of him.A tall stage was set up in the middle of the open space, and hundreds of people had gathered under the stage.At this time, there was a lot of people around the stage, and it was really lively.

Li Qiufeng was startled when he saw the sea of ​​people in front of him, but he saw Situ Qiao swaying and walking into the crowd.He thought to himself, if Situ Qiao got mixed up with these hundreds of people, it would not be easy to find him.Therefore, he quickened his pace, and was only three or four feet away from Situ Bridge, following closely behind him.

Li Qiufeng originally thought that when Situ Qiao arrived here, he would pass through the crowd and head north.Just go out of the town and find a place where no one is around, you can knock down Situ Qiao with three punches and two kicks, grab his baggage and leave.Unexpectedly, after Situ Qiao walked into the crowd, he squeezed all the way to the stage, stopped in his tracks, and looked up at the stage.Li Qiufeng had no choice but to squeeze not far from Situ Bridge and stop, thinking to himself, when did this bastard become interested in singing?

While thinking, he turned his head to look around, and accidentally discovered that Yu Fan and Yu Chengsi had also come under the stage, whispering something.And the three people in Tsing Yi stood not far from the two of them, and they seemed to be encircling them.Although the other four people in Tsing Yi didn't show up, Li Qiufeng knew that according to the habit of Liu Sheng's killers when they went out to kill, these four people would definitely be on the sidelines, ready to help at any time.
