A knife in love

Chapter 72

Yan Dufei said: "This matter is becoming more and more suspicious. Xu Yingyang promised Yu Changyuan to do this business together. It was not very convincing at first. Now even the defenders of the Imperial Tomb are going to move. Could it be that God is helping us behind the scenes? ?”

Yan Dufei shook his head while talking, glanced at Li Qiufeng and said: "If something goes wrong, it must be a demon. I feel that someone is digging a big trap for us. Otherwise, there would be such a good thing. When we got here, the defenders actually wanted to Make trouble?"

Li Qiufeng said: "Brother Yan is not in the imperial court, so he doesn't know about these turbulent events. Since he became the throne today, the frontier troops have frequently rebelled. Especially the troops stationed in Datong and Xuanfu towns have rebelled at least three times in the past few years. This imperial court has already killed a governor, two chief soldiers, and many lieutenants. Sang Liangtian was also stationed in Datong before, so it is not surprising that he will cause trouble."

Yan Dufei said: "I haven't heard of this Yan. I just know that Datong and Xuanfu are the important towns of the imperial court. If something happens, the capital will be in danger."

Li Qiufeng nodded, and said in a heavy tone: "Since I ascended the throne today, the ministers of the court have been divided into two factions, the main war faction and the main and the main faction, and they have been arguing all day long. especially the two towns of Datong and Xuanfu. When the Zhuhe faction gained the upper hand, the soldiers and horses in these two towns cowered in the city, seeing the Tazi soldiers burning, killing and looting outside the city, but did not dare to fight. When they got the upper hand, they said that the two towns were "fearing the enemy like a tiger and allowing the enemy to plunder", and then the imperial court issued a decree to dismiss the general who commanded the army to investigate and deal with it, and deducted the salary of the officer. Of course, the successor generals are all the ones who lead the battle and lead the troops after they take office. Going out of the city, they chased the Tartar soldiers everywhere. Those Tartars were all cavalry, and they came and went like the wind. Seeing that the Ming army started to counterattack, they naturally fled far away, not daring to confront the imperial army. After gaining the upper hand, they turned against the main combat faction for "starting the war indiscriminately and wasting money and food", and dismissed the general of the main combat faction. The officers deducted their salaries and delayed the payment of their salaries. So he threatened the chief to mutiny, and the trouble became bigger and bigger."

Yan Dufei was dumbfounded when he heard that, and he said after a long while: "I never thought that the affairs of the court would be so complicated and chaotic. Now that I think about it, it would be better not to be an official."

Li Qiufeng smiled and said: "The world is similar to the imperial court. It takes a lot of effort to get ahead. If you are not careful, you will be in danger of your life. That's why Li and Brother Yan did this business together, only hoping to get a sum of money , go far away, avoid these worldly disputes, and be a carefree farmer, I wish enough."

The two of them were talking, and when they were talking, they suddenly heard the sound of footsteps outside the door, and it seemed that there were countless people running towards them.The two were startled, not knowing what had happened, they hurried to the door and looked out from the crack of the door.

I saw four or five lamas running over from the front hall, and ran straight to the two largest monk's rooms on the right.

When arranging residences for everyone just now, the two largest monk's rooms were naturally assigned to Yu Changyuan and Xu Yingyang.The great lama has been by Yu Changyuan's side all the time, praising Yu Changyuan's benevolence and good fortune, Yu Changyuan was flattered by the big lama, and donated another 100 taels of incense money.The big lama was naturally grateful, and stayed with Yu Changyuan to talk in the room all the time, for fear of neglecting this wealthy guest.

I only heard those lamas running outside Yu Changyuan's house, knocking on the door and shouting: "Master Master, it's a disaster, it's a disaster!"

There was only a "squeak" sound, and it seemed that the door of Yu Changyuan's room opened.Immediately afterwards, the great lama said in an exasperated voice: "What are you making a fuss about here? Even the Buddha will blame you for disturbing the rest of the honored guests!"

A lama said tremblingly: "Three people came outside, two women and one man. One of them is the woman who came to our place a few days ago. That man was seriously injured..."

"What, what are they here for?" The big lama's voice also changed.

"The young woman said she wanted to find a place for the man to rest. Just as the brother was about to decline, she kicked him far away. Now that the brothers and sisters are hiding, the woman occupied the main hall and said that if the presiding master doesn't When she went out to answer the question, she set fire to our temple and taught us..."

At this point, the lama stopped talking, obviously what was left was definitely not a good thing, presumably it was either "the whole litter was burned to death" or "there is no place to die".

At this time, Yu Changyuan said: "Okay, how can anyone dare to be so arrogant and unreasonable? Don't be afraid of the great lama, my brothers are quite skilled in martial arts, let's all go to the front hall to have a look, if there are lunatics making trouble, we are not afraid. "

The big lama thanked him repeatedly, and only heard the sound of footsteps, and a group of people walked towards the hall.

Li Qiufeng said in a low voice: "Let's go and have a look too."

The two went out, but saw Yu Changyuan walking side by side with the big lama, followed by four or five lamas, but Xu Yingyang didn't show up.

At this time, the door of the monk's room next to him also opened, and Zhuang Hengyun and He Yi also came out.The four looked at each other, each nodded, and followed the lamas to the main hall.

As soon as he stepped into the hall, he could smell a very strong smell of blood.I saw a person lying in the middle of the hall, and the two people around me were circling anxiously.The great lama and Yu Changyuan stood aside, discussing something in a low voice.

When Li Qiufeng saw those three people, he couldn't help being shocked.These three people are Murong Danyan, Ma Dongqing and Xiao Zhanpeng.I saw Xiao Zhanpeng lying on the ground, his chest was in tatters and blood was gushing out continuously.Murong Danyan and Ma Dongqing hurriedly covered his wound with their hands, but they still couldn't stop the bleeding.Behind the three of them, a long trail of blood continued intermittently to the outside of the hall.

Li Qiufeng took a few steps up to Xiao Zhanpeng, stretched out his hand to touch five big acupuncture points on his chest, only heard Xiao Zhanpeng groan, his eyes were closed tightly, and the muscles on his face couldn't help twitching, obviously in extreme pain.Murong Danyan didn't see who was coming, but when he saw Li Qiufeng stab Xiao Zhanpeng several times, he thought he wanted to hurt Xiao Zhanpeng, so he slapped him backhand.The two were very close to each other, and Li Qiufeng tried his best to save people, defenseless.There was a "pa", and this palm hit Li Qiufeng's left cheek.The corners of his mouth were bleeding immediately, and his cheeks were swollen.

At this time Xiao Zhanpeng had opened his eyes, and said tremblingly: "He is saving me..." After saying this, he felt weak all over his body and couldn't even speak.

At this time, Murong Danyan also saw clearly that the person who came was Li Qiufeng. Seeing that his left cheek was swollen and high, he was panicked. He wanted to apologize but didn't know how to say it. , but Li Qiufeng took out a small porcelain bottle from his bosom, poured some powder into his hands, and said to Xiao Zhanpeng: "This powder will hurt very much when it is sprinkled on your wound, you have to be patient."

Xiao Zhanpeng blinked a few times, indicating that he understood what Li Qiufeng meant.Li Qiufeng said to Murong Danyan: "Grab his hands, don't let him shake!"

Murong Danyan was worrying about how to apologize to Li Qiufeng, seeing that he ordered him to do something, it was exactly what he wanted, so he hurriedly stretched out his hands to hold Xiao Zhanpeng's hands.Li Qiufeng lightly sprinkled the powder in his hand on the wound on Xiao Zhanpeng's chest. As soon as the powder touched the flesh and blood, there was a "hissing" sound.Fortunately, Murong Danyan was already prepared, so he didn't break free.

Li Qiufeng sprinkled all the medicine powder on Xiao Zhanpeng's wound, only heard the sound of "hissing", Xiao Zhanpeng's body kept twisting, but his strength became weaker and weaker, finally calmed down, and the muscles on his face no longer twitched.Looking at the wound on his chest, the blood had stopped.It's just that he was pale and looked very frightening.

Li Qiufeng turned his head and said to the big lama: "Master, is there any clean cloth in your monastery?"

The big lama hurriedly called a lama and asked him to fetch the cloth.However, Ma Dongqing unbuttoned his clothes, only heard a "hissing", and tore off a large piece of neiyi, and handed it to Li Qiufeng.Li Qiufeng wrapped the wound on Xiao Zhanpeng's chest with this piece of cloth, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "This sword wounded quite badly, but the person who used the sword seemed to have insufficient strength, or he didn't want to hurt him. so that he did not take his life."

Murong Danyan's eyes widened, and he said tremblingly to Li Qiufeng: "You, how do you know?"

Li Qiufeng said: "As long as this sword penetrates half a point, it will hurt Shaoxia Xiao's heart. At that time, it will be difficult for Da Luo Jinxian to heal. The opponent either lacks strength or is showing mercy. Just look at Shaoxia Xiao's injury." , the opponent doesn't seem to be merciful. And judging from the wound, the opponent's sword is pierced from bottom to top, either he is backhanding the sword, or he is too short..."

Murong Danyan said in shock: "Did you see it? That person...that person is a child..."
