A knife in love

Chapter 79

The old man shook his head and said, "The Great Lama is proficient in Buddhism, I should ask you more. It's just that there are so many mundane things, I can't stay here for a long time. I only hope that I will have the opportunity to ask the Great Lama again in the future."

The two gave each other a few words of humility, and the old man ordered a follower to leave 200 taels of lamp oil money.The great lama even proclaimed the Buddha's name, so he was very grateful.

Surrounded by everyone, the old man walked out of the main hall. Two boy servants in green clothes had already carried a small sedan chair. The old man got into the sedan chair and said to the big lama, "Take care of your life, the big lama. Buddhism will be reborn in the future. The big lama Come to the capital, let's have a good talk."

Two boy servants in Tsing Yi lifted the sedan chair and walked out of the temple gate steadily.A few other people wrapped the man killed by the teenager with an oilcloth, and a big man carried him on his back, and followed the crowd.

It wasn't until the pedestrians walked out of the temple gate that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.The big lama got another 200 taels of silver, and he was overjoyed. He repeatedly ordered all the lamas to clean the hall and replace the Buddha lamp with the best lamp oil.

Yu Changyuan whispered to Xu Yingyang: "Master Xu, who is this old man?"

Xu Yingyang said: "He is Yang Ting and Master Yang."

Yu Changyuan's expression changed drastically, and he said after a long while, "He, why did he come here..."

Li Qiufeng heard the word "Yang Tinghe" and thought: It really is him!

Xu Yingyang said: "Master Yang resigned because of illness three years ago. The emperor thought he was a veteran of the two dynasties, and he was given a decree of grace to release him to his hometown. This kind of favor is rare in this dynasty. "

Li Qiufeng said: "Master Xu, I'm afraid he forgot to mention it. Less than a year after Master Yang's resignation, the emperor accused him of lying about important affairs in the court, depriving him of his fame, and depriving him of his son Yang Shenyuan. Distributed far away to a remote and barren place in Yunnan, and refused to return if pardoned. This crime is unprecedented in this dynasty."

Xu Yingyang said with a smile: "Master Yang has held the power of the court for more than 1 years, and he has survived Liu Jin, Qian Ning, Jiang Bin and other powerful officials. The hard work of being an official can really be called the No. .[-]. Mr. Yang contributed a lot to being able to ascend the throne today. It was only in the dispute of "Great Rituals" that Mr. Yang stood in the wrong direction, so he lost power. But the centipede is dead but not stiff. Although Mr. Zhang and Mr. Gui They fought for the power of the imperial court with the "Great Rites", but Lord Yang's disciples are still all over the court, and it is just delusional to want to sweep the court and eradicate Lord Yang's power by the roots."

Several people chatted for a while, Yu Changyuan winked, and they all bid farewell to the great lama.The big lama was busy instructing all the lamas to tidy up the courtyard and the main hall, he said a few perfunctory words to everyone, but he didn't care.

When everyone returned to the monk's room in the backyard, Yu Changyuan invited them into the room and sent two Zhuang Ding to guard the door, then he said to everyone: "Today is really dangerous, the old man is very skilled in martial arts, if you offend this man , we are afraid that none of us will be able to escape. Luckily, Brother Li drove him away, which is just convenient for us to do big things next."

Xu Yingyang said: "At present, the defenders of the imperial mausoleum have already moved out, and the defense is empty. It's just that the army for a change of defense will arrive soon, we must take advantage of this opportunity and make plans early."

Yu Changyuan said: "Master Xu's words are very true. The third child will go down the mountain today to buy gunpowder. In addition, I have sent people back to Wuhu Mountain Villa to gather another group of people. If we want to do it, we can do it with a big ticket."

He Yi said on the side: "Brother, you can rest assured, and the younger brother will go down the mountain now."

Yu Changyuan said: "After going down the mountain, you need to be extremely careful. After buying all the items, send someone back to report, and I will send someone to meet them."

After He Yi left, Yu Changyuan said to Zhuang Hengyun: "Second brother, you should go to the imperial mausoleum to inquire again. No matter what happens, you must return to the temple before noon tomorrow, and we will discuss it carefully."

Several people discussed again, only waiting for news from Zhuang and He.Yu Changyuan said to Xu Yingyang again: "Right now that girl from Murong's family is also staying in the temple, we have important matters to deal with. Master Xu had conflicts with that girl, so it's better not to face each other. Fortunately, the boy surnamed Xiao suffered a serious injury. Seriously injured, this girl alone can't make any big waves. After we win, if these people still get in the way, we'll kill them, bury them in this barren mountain, and let the Murong family search everywhere."

Li Qiufeng and Yan Dufei went back to the room and saw that there was no one around, Yan Dufei smiled and said, "Brother Li, it's hard for you to hide it from me."

Li Qiufeng was startled, and said, "Brother Yan, why did you say that?"

Yan Dufei said: "I only saw brother Li's real martial arts today. That night in the palace, you were repelled by my Senior Brother Leng, so I never took your martial arts to heart. It's just that you Attacking that young man with a single strike, forcing the young man to not even have a chance to draw his sword, this is your real martial arts. Unexpectedly, I have been in the rivers and lakes for decades, but you were able to hide it. Fortunately, that night I didn't attack you in the palace, otherwise I must be the one who died."

Li Qiufeng shook his head and said: "Brother Yan was joking. Just now when I confronted that young man, my brother used the method of putting him to death and reviving him. If he missed the blow, the young man only needed to strike back and take my life .If it were Brother Yan, in this situation, I'm afraid he would attack with all his strength like me. As for hidden martial arts, there is nothing at all."

Yan Dufei said: "Brother Li is not hiding martial arts, but this courage and experience. In time, Brother Li's martial arts will definitely improve to the next level, and then Yan will need Brother Li to take care of him."

Li Qiufeng waved his hands again and again and said, "Brother Yan, what did you say? He killed Li instead. If that old man makes a move, there will be ten Li Qiufeng, and they are all dead now."

Yan Dufei said: "It just happened to be such a coincidence. We were in the old shop of the Gu family the day before yesterday, and the old thief Tang He was pressing every step of the way. The Wulao of Mount Tai and the Huashan faction were watching from the side. Seeing that we had no way out, Liu came here Kang, he dismissed these people in a few words. Today's mysterious master is even more powerful. Even if we all rush up, I am afraid that he is not his opponent. Fortunately, Yang Tinghe is here, and Brother Li is not chaotic. Retreat from the war..."

Li Qiufeng shook his head and said, "Brother Yan, I'm afraid you've misjudged this time."

Yan Dufei was startled, and said, "What does Brother Li mean by that?"

Li Qiufeng said: "The old man didn't make a move because he was not afraid of Yang Tinghe, let alone me."

Yan Dufei chuckled and said, "Then who is he afraid of? Is he afraid of Yan?"

Li Qiufeng said: "When he entered the temple, he was like Yue Linyuan, walking undisturbed, and he didn't pay attention to us at all. Brother Yan has also seen his dragon-capturing kungfu. How many people are there? It's just that after saving the boy, his expression changed."

Yan Dufei said: "I didn't pay attention to this."

Li Qiufeng said: "I stood at the entrance of the main hall and knew that this old man's martial arts were unfathomable. So after the boy was rescued by him, I was very careful and kept an eye on him. When he entered the temple, he always held his hands In the middle of the umbrella, it is not the posture when confronting the enemy. But after saving the boy, his right hand was held on the umbrella handle until he walked out of the temple gate, and his right hand never left the umbrella handle. .”

Yan Dufei carefully recalled the scene just now, but he couldn't recall the old man's actions at all, so he shook his head and said, "I'm really ashamed, I didn't notice where his hand was held at all."

Li Qiufeng said: "Brother Yan was standing in the hall, it's normal that he didn't see the change in his posture. I was standing at the entrance of the hall, but I could see it clearly. At that time, he must have discovered that there was a more powerful figure nearby. , even in the main hall, that's why he didn't dare to make a move. Yang Tinghe used to be a first-rank member of the court, but he didn't know martial arts. This old man would not take him seriously. As for Li, he would not let him go In his eyes. Therefore, he must be nervous because of someone else. Just like the mantis catching the cicada, the oriole is behind, forcing him to never make a move."

Yan Dufei thought about the people present one by one, shook his head and said: "I really can't think of anyone who would make him so nervous. There are quite a few people brought by Yang Tinghe, but they are all servants and the like." , even if there are martial arts masters, they will not be some great people, otherwise they would not be killed by the boy with a single sword. All the lamas in the temple don't know martial arts, and the rest are Yu Changyuan and the other three elders. A thief is not the old man's opponent either. Is he really afraid of Yan?"

The two of them thought for a long time, but they couldn't figure out who the old man was afraid of.At this moment, someone outside suddenly heard shouting: "If you have the kindness, come out to meet each other, what kind of heroes are those who hide their heads and tails!"

Li Qiufeng's face changed greatly, because it was Murong Danyan's voice.
