A knife in love

Chapter 792

After Xu Yingyang finished speaking, he didn't see how hard he was, and his body flew upside down.Under the light of the torch, his robe sleeves were like the sails of a ship full of wind, lifting his body lightly and landing in front of the group of Jinyi guards.

After Xu Yingyang stabilized his figure, two Jinyi guards rushed forward and put a crimson cloak on him.Xu Yingyang flicked his right hand lightly, and several Jinyiwei leaders shouted orders, and they lined up in two lines, holding torches in their hands, and went straight down the mountain.

Although Situ Qiao was shocked by Xu Yingyang's martial arts, he refused to admit defeat. He first gave a mouthful of "bah", and then said viciously: "Fuck, what's so great about it? I really think that I'm the one who puts on such a guard of honor. Are you scared?!"

Li Qiufeng remained silent, watching Xu Yingyang lead the crowd away.Although there are four to five hundred of these people, there are no more than three or forty people wearing brocade and guard uniforms, and most of the rest are dressed in police uniforms. In all likelihood, they were masters who were urgently dispatched from Luoyang Mansion and Henan Governor's Yamen to Yuntai Mountain to handle the case.

After Xu Yingyang and others walked away, the surrounding area returned to silence.Situ Qiao said to Li Qiufeng: "Brother Li, shall we still go to Wuji Temple?"

Li Qiufeng raised his head and glanced in the direction of the cave, shook his head, and said: "Since Yang Zhenzhong has also been here, Xu Yingyang has no need to deceive me. The Wuji Temple must have been burnt to nothing, even if it stays I'm afraid Jin Yiwei will wipe out any clues. Before, I only thought Xu Yingyang was good at martial arts, but now it seems that he has deep plans, and I'm afraid he is still above Yun Feiyang."

Situ Qiao curled his lips, and said: "This bastard is indeed a big showman, but in my opinion, he is not a match for Brother Li. Otherwise, he would have brought so many people with him, and he would have killed us long ago. If we If you don’t want to go to Wuji Temple, let’s go down the mountain quickly. We’ve been tossing around in Taniguchi Village these days, and our bodies are covered in dust. If we don’t go to an inn to take a hot bath, I’m afraid we’ll all be stink to death!”

The two turned around and went down the mountain, and walked straight for more than an hour before returning to the valley where the horses were tied.It was almost midnight at this time, and only the mountain wind could be heard whistling around.According to Situ Qiao's intention, he would rather travel overnight than find an inn to rest.But Li Qiufeng said that Xu Yingyang and others had left Yuntai Mountain, and they must not be far away at this time.If he was in a hurry, he might bump into these people again.Although the two sides are not enemies at this time, it is always quite inconvenient to have entanglements with Xu Yingyang, so it is better to light a fire in this valley to keep warm, rest temporarily for one night, and it will not be too late to go tomorrow morning.

Although Situ Qiao said he was not afraid of Xu Yingyang, he was extremely afraid of Jin Yiwei.Hearing what Li Qiufeng said, he had no choice but to agree.The two picked up some dead branches and leaves nearby, found a leeward place to light a fire, and then fell asleep leaning against the mountain wall.

The two woke up early the next morning.After tidying up, he untied his mount and led the horse to the main road.At this time, the sun came down from the east, and the surrounding snow fields were covered with silver light.Recalling the nightmare in Taniguchi Village, it seems like a lifetime ago.The two of them discerned the direction, so they hurried on and headed straight to Luoyang.

Near noon, the two finally walked into a big town called Liuzhuang.Situ Qiao found the largest inn in the town, and as soon as he entered, he ordered Xiao Er to prepare a wooden bucket of hot water.Then he went to a nearby ready-made clothing store to buy two sets of clothes, and even chose new underwear, and then walked back to the inn excitedly.Li Qiufeng and Situ Qiao took a hot bath and felt comfortable all over.Then put on new clothes both inside and outside, and feel more relaxed and happy.The waiter brought the food and drink, and the two of them were already hungry, so they ate the food and wine like a storm.

After the two settled the bill, they led their mounts and headed south.Situ Qiao looked at the common people passing by on the street, and said as he walked: "Being a famous minister, general, martial arts tycoon, it is better to be a commoner, and you will save a lot of troubles."

Li Qiufeng said: "Mr. Situ only saw the appearance of these people living and working in peace and contentment, but he didn't know how distressed these people were when the government extorted taxes and collected corvees. Li heard from Jin Yiwei, who was on business in the south of the Yangtze River, that the taxation in the south of the Yangtze River was getting heavier day by day. , the common people could not afford to pay the rent for farming, so they had to sell their land to well-known gentry, from landlords to long-term laborers. The annexation of land in the south of the Yangtze River was extremely serious. On the southeast coast, the people are so overwhelmed that they can only take risks. In the future, the situation is worrisome."

Situ Qiao said with a smile: "Although brother Li is not on duty in Jinyiwei, he is still so concerned about the country and the people. I admire, admire. But let those officials think about these things. This time I returned to the capital, secretly picked up my wife, and found a In a place with beautiful mountains and green waters, just retreat here, don’t care about worldly affairs, and be a carefree rich man, let’s see who can control Lao Tzu?! Haha!”

He was extremely polite to Li Qiufeng, but he couldn't help but get carried away under the complacency at this time, and the word "Lao Tzu" blurted out.But Li Qiufeng knew his temperament, so he didn't think he was disobedient, he just smiled, but didn't speak.

After leaving Liuzhuang, the two got on their horses and rode southward.In the evening, I happened to pass by the forest where Yunzhen was buried that day.Li Qiufeng remembered that when he parted from the nuns of Kule Temple, Yuanjue had said that he would cremate Yunzhen's body and take her ashes away.Then he turned to Situ Qiao and said, "Mr. Situ, I want to visit Senior Yunzhen's grave and see if Master Yuanjue has taken her ashes away."

Situ Qiao naturally had no objection.The two got off their mounts, led the horse to the edge of the woods, tied the mounts to the tree, and walked carefully into the woods.When they arrived at the place where Yunzhen's body was buried, they saw that the ground had been dug up, and there was a large pile of ashes beside it.Situ Qiao said: "It seems that Yuan Jue and others have come here to cremate Yun Zhen's body. Brother Li, you don't have to worry."

Li Qiufeng nodded, and said in his mouth: "It's the best. Senior Yunzhen lived a miserable life, I hope she will be born in the next life early, so that she won't suffer in this life."

After the two left the woods, they got on their horses and walked forward.The two of them had walked this road before, after passing through Taniguchi Village, and then seeing the place they walked, it was as if they had been reborn, and there was peace and serenity everywhere.

When they got to the intersection where they parted ways with Yu Fan's master and servant, with the afterglow of the setting sun, they could see a black smoke rising from a hillside in front of them.Situ Qiao pointed at the black smoke with a horsewhip and said to Li Qiufeng, "This smoke is a bit strange, it rises straight up."

Li Qiufeng looked at the black smoke, his heart trembled, and he said in his mouth: "This is not ordinary smoke, it is the beacon smoke used to report letters in the rivers and lakes! There must be something happening ahead, let's go and have a look!"

The two galloped wildly, but within half a stick of incense, they were not far from the black smoke.At this moment, a whistle was heard, and a dozen men jumped out from the side of the road, brandishing weapons in their hands, and stopped in front of the two horses.A big man in the lead was wearing a black robe, holding a one-legged bronze figure in his right hand, pointing at Li Qiufeng and Situ Qiao with his left hand, and shouted: "Heavenly Dragon Sect is here to do business, so get away with me!"

Situ Qiao likes to call himself Lao Tzu the most. Hearing that this big man has robbed him of his title, he is furious. With a flick of his left hand, three silver needles shot out.Two silver needles hit the big man's eyes, but the other pierced his eyebrows.The big man was caught off guard, only felt a pain in his eyes, and then his eyes went black, and he couldn't see anything anymore.

The big man's eyes hurt unbearably, and he jumped up, hissing loudly.Before he knew it, he let go of his right hand, and the one-legged bronze figure fell down, but hit the instep of his right foot again.The one-legged bronze figure weighed tens of catties, and immediately broke several bones of the big man's feet.The pain made him yelp, and he hugged his right foot with both hands, jumping up and down on the ground.At this time, his eyes were already blind, and after jumping around, he fell headlong into the deep ditch on the side of the road.

Seeing that the leader was in such a miserable state, the dozen or so men uttered a cry and immediately fled in all directions.Situ Qiao got off his horse, walked to the side of the road, lifted the big man out of the deep ditch, and threw it on the ground casually.Hearing a "plop", the big man fell to the ground on all fours, calling his father and mother in his mouth, looking very embarrassed.

Situ Qiao sneered and said, "Grandson, obediently force your mouth! Otherwise, I'll crush your head with one foot!"

Although the big man had unbearable pain in his eyes and the back of his feet, he immediately shut up after hearing what Situ Qiao said.He was in pain and fear, and although he didn't dare to make a sound, the upper and lower rows of teeth collided with each other, rattling.

Situ Qiao blinded the big man's eyes as soon as he made a move, not because he was vicious.Earlier, in front of Kule Temple, Tianlongmen besieged Yuanjue and others in a large scale, intending to kill all the nuns.Situ Qiao knew that everyone in Tianlongmen were bandits who murdered and robbed them, so it was useless to keep them.In addition, he wanted to force the big guy to ask what Tianlongmen was doing here, so he acted ruthlessly, just to give the big guy a bad start so that he wouldn't dare to lie to himself.

Seeing that the big man was scared out of his wits, Situ Qiao asked, "What are you Tianlongmen doing here?"

The big man endured the pain and said in a trembling voice: "We, we were ordered by the Xiuwu County Yamen to arrest the murderer who kidnapped people..."

Situ Qiao raised his eyebrows, kicked the big man's stomach hard, and shouted: "Damn it, you Tianlongmen kill people and steal goods, do all kinds of evil, you are not a good person, you dare to catch murderers?!"

The big man was kicked by Situ Qiao, and his lower abdomen really hurt.He just heard Situ Qiao being so vicious, how could he dare to moan, so he could only say in a trembling voice: "Yes, yes, the uncle is right..."

Hearing what the big man said, Li Qiufeng's heart trembled, he hurriedly got off his horse, walked up to the big man, and said in a deep voice, "Who are you trying to arrest? Where are they?"

The big man tremblingly said: "The abductees are a group of nuns. Originally, we were sure of winning, but who knew that a monk came and rescued these nuns. Naturally, we refused to let them go, chasing and beating them all the way until we reached the Here. Right now, Head Cui has led people to trap the monk and a group of nuns on the hillside in front, and he thinks he will be able to capture all the monks and nuns in a short time."
