A knife in love

Chapter 815

Li Qiufeng held the sackcloth baggage in his right hand, and walked to the gate of the City God Temple, when he heard someone shouting loudly: "Commander Li is here! Commander Li is here!"

At this time, there is an endless stream of pilgrims coming in and out in front of the temple gate, which is very lively.Therefore, Li Qiufeng didn't realize that someone was waiting for him, and he was startled when he heard someone shouting loudly.He looked for his reputation, but found that several men gathered on the stone steps on the right side of the temple gate had stood up and walked towards him quickly.When they met the pilgrims in front of them, these men immediately stretched out their hands and pushed them away.A few pilgrims were about to speak out to reprimand them, but when they saw the appearance of these people, they were taken aback, they dared not speak, so they had to swallow their anger and walk away quickly.

Li Qiufeng recognized these people as Wan Congyun's subordinates.Seeing them aggressively stretching out their hands to push the pilgrims, fearing that they would cause trouble, he hastily walked a few steps forward to meet them.The leading man walked up to Li Qiufeng and bowed to the ground.Several other men also bowed and saluted one after another.When the pilgrims around saw these men, all of them showed terrified expressions on their faces.After seeing these people respect Li Qiufeng so much, they were extremely surprised.

Seeing that all the pilgrims were looking at him, Li Qiufeng was afraid of causing trouble, so he lowered his voice and said to those men: "Don't make any noise, come with me!"

Li Qiufeng brought the men to a corner on the left side of the temple gate, looking around for no one, he said to the men, "What are you doing here?"

The man in the lead had a flattering face, and said in his mouth: "Master Wan Er... No no, it was Master Wan Cong Yunwan who ordered us to stay here and wait for Commander Li. He has already found a temple in the Town God's Temple and arranged a residence for Master Li. Because he was busy arranging people to inquire about the news, he took people away after seeing the house, leaving the villain to wait here to serve Commander Li. If there is anything that Commander Li asks, we brothers will definitely do it for you it is good."

Li Qiufeng frowned and said, "Thank you guys. But it's not good for you to push and push pilgrims."

The men looked embarrassed and looked at each other.The leader said: "Commander Li has taught you the lesson, and the villains have written it down."

After he finished speaking, he was afraid that Li Qiufeng would hold on to this matter, so he hurriedly changed the topic and said to Li Qiufeng: "Commander Li, I will take you to live and rest."

Several people led Li Qiufeng to the temple.When the pilgrims saw these men, they gave way one after another.Some people didn't realize that these men had arrived, and walked unhurriedly on the road.But after receiving Li Qiufeng's lesson, these men are not as arrogant as before.When someone blocked the way, they stopped pushing and shoving, or walked slowly behind, and walked around when they reached a wide area.Or say "excuse me", and after the pilgrims get out of the way, they rush to the front with Li Qiufeng.

This Chengmo temple is very large in scale, with three courtyards at the front and back. The main hall is located in the second courtyard.It's just that it's getting older and a little bit outdated.Nearly a hundred pilgrims crowded the courtyard, some knelt on the futon in front of the main hall and kowtowed, and some held incense in both hands and prayed silently.Although there were so many people crowded in the yard, it was extremely quiet.

Li Qiufeng looked into the hall, only to see the smog, and a tall statue of the god could be seen faintly in the hall, but it was far away, and there was smog in front of him, so he couldn't see clearly.Several men did not stop, so Li Qiufeng had no choice but to follow them to the right side of the main hall.

Several men led Li Qiufeng around the corner gate on the right side of the main hall and walked to the backyard.The backyard is a quadrangle courtyard, and there are more than 20 rooms in the main house and side rooms.There was no one in the yard, and the surroundings were extremely quiet, and the voices of pilgrims from the front yard could be vaguely heard.

The man in the lead said to Li Qiufeng as he walked: "Originally, Commander Li should be invited to live in the main house. However, it snowed heavily a few days ago, and the main house was in disrepair for a long time. It has not been repaired. We have to ask Commander Li to live in the wing room temporarily, and after the roof of the main house is repaired, Commander Li will be asked to move there."

Li Qiufeng shook his head, and said: "You don't need to be so troublesome, it's fine for me to live in the wing room. Besides, I only stay here for a few days. After the matter here is over, I will go back to the inn."

The man said with a smile: "Commander Li, don't have any scruples. You think it's the first time you come to our Xiuwu County, and you don't know the benefits of the Town God's Temple. In our Xiuwu County, when it comes to houses, the Town God's Temple is naturally the number one. It is even more exquisite than the county government office. I heard that there was a senior official in the previous dynasty who originally wanted to occupy the Town God’s Temple as his private residence. However, the City God Empress appeared, and a plague broke out in the senior official’s house, and seven people died in one night. I was so frightened that this high official didn't dare to think about the Town God's Temple anymore."

When Li Qiufeng heard this, he smiled slightly, and said: "If I live here, the City God Empress will not appear and come to take my life?"

Hearing Li Qiufeng's words, several men's hearts trembled.The man in the lead complained even more in his heart, secretly cursing that he deserved to die, he only wanted to have a good time, but he said the wrong thing, it seemed to be cursing the leader.So he looked embarrassed, and said with a sneer: "Commander Li Hongfu Qitian, the Jade Emperor blesses, how can the City God Empress embarrass the adults? The villain also feels that he has been tainted with a lot of blessings by following the adults. In the future, he will definitely be safe from all diseases." , prolong your descendants, get promoted and get rich, and make a lot of money..."

Li Qiufeng heard that although the man was full of flattery, his voice couldn't help trembling, knowing that he was afraid, so he smiled and said: "I'm just talking casually, I don't mean to blame you, you don't have to worry."

The man saw that Li Qiufeng's expression was normal and he was not angry, so he was relieved.At this time, everyone has reached the door of the first wing on the left.The leading man stretched out his hand to push open the door, stood sideways by the door, and said to Li Qiufeng, "Commander Li, please come in."

Li Qiufeng nodded, and then walked into the room.I saw that although the room was not very big, it was very elegantly furnished.The tables, chairs and beds in the house are beautifully crafted and arranged in an orderly manner.There are also several calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, which seem to be not ordinary.

Li Qiufeng walked to the table in the middle of the room, looked around, and then turned to the leading man and said, "This room is so exquisite, isn't it a little too much for Li to live here?"

The man said with a smile on his face, "It's the blessing of Town God's Temple that Commander Li lives here. To tell you the truth, just now we approached Miaozhu to negotiate to lend a room for Commander Li to live in. Miaozhu was so happy that he trembled, saying that he would like to invite adults to visit Town God's Temple , That's why I chose this room for the adults. The adults just live in it, and the little people stay outside, waiting for the adults' orders at any time."

Li Qiufeng nodded, and said in his mouth: "Brothers, you have worked hard. You don't have to stay outside, just do what you have to do."

When Li Qiufeng said this, he took out a few pieces of scattered silver from his bosom and handed it over, saying in his mouth: "This scattered silver, you guys should take it to drink."

When those men saw the silver in Li Qiufeng's hands, their eyes lit up immediately.It's just that these people looked at each other, but they didn't dare to reach out to take the silver.The leading man trembled and said: "It's only natural for us to do things for adults, how can we collect money from adults?!"

Even though he said so, his eyes kept staring at the broken silver in Li Qiufeng's hand.Li Qiufeng said with a smile: "It's the first time we met today, Mr. Li invites everyone to drink a glass of wine, it's out of courtesy, you don't have to be polite."

Only then did the leading man take the silver, held it tightly in his hand, thanked him repeatedly, and finally sweared by patting his chest that as long as Li Qiufeng said a word, their brothers would go through fire and water, and would not hesitate to do so.

After the men left, Li Qiufeng closed the door, looked around the room, and confirmed that there were no secret passages or walls, and then he was relieved.He sat on the chair, put the linen bundle in his hand on the table, thinking to himself that Xu Yingyang sent Zhang Hao to send this thing, and he didn't know what was inside.He stared at the bundle for a long time before carefully opening it.But he saw that there was a black sheathed long knife in the bag, which was the same shape as the Xiuchun knife he had lost.

Li Qiufeng was both surprised and delighted, he held the long knife in his left hand, weighed it, and it turned out to be the same as his original knife.He held the scabbard tightly with his left hand, and slowly pulled out the long knife with his right hand.Seeing the cold light of the blade shoot out from the sheath little by little, Li Qiufeng felt joy in his heart.He remembered that when he met Xu Yingyang, this person once asked about the steel knife in his hand.Thinking about it, Xu Yingyang left his heart at that time, and after Li Qiufeng left, he found him a handy Xiuchun knife.

According to the regulations, the Xiuchun Knife used by Jin Yiwei could have been made at his own expense, as long as it conformed to the shape.Later, a sword workshop was set up in the palace, which specially made weapons for the palace guards and Jin Yiwei.Because making swords in palace workshops does not cost money, and these craftsmen are extremely skilled, Jin Yiwei mostly made swords in palace workshops.When Li Qiufeng entered Jinyiwei, the Xiuchun knife in his hand was also forged in the workshop in the palace.Because the workshop always forges weapons for the same group of Jinyiwei who have entered the job, Xu Yingyang only needs to find someone who joined the Jinyiwei at the same time as Li Qiufeng, and he can find the Xiuchun knife that Li Qiufeng is used to.

This time Xu Yingyang went to Henan with Yang Zhenzhong on a business trip and brought a lot of Jinyiwei with him. It was not difficult to find a Jinyiwei who was the same age as Li Qiufeng.Li Qiufeng thought that although Xu Yingyang's move was to recruit himself to work for him, but he was such a fine person that he was indeed a remarkable person.

Li Qiufeng pulled out the Xiuchun knife and couldn't help trying out a few moves in the room.This Xiuchun knife is almost identical to the one he destroyed in the valley below Hutou Rock.The more he danced, the more he liked it, and even used all the Xuanxu sword skills.I saw the light of the knife shining in the room, and the wind of the knife chichi, the momentum was extremely astonishing.

Li Qiufeng finished using a set of Xuanxu saber techniques, and only felt that his whole body was at ease, so he put the Xiuchun saber back into its sheath, feeling very proud of himself.Just as he was thinking about how to deal with the steel knife he had snatched, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside the house, walking towards his own room.Li Qiufeng's heart trembled, first he stuffed the steel knife wrapped in the sheet under the bed, and then covered the Xiuchun knife that Xu Yingyang gave him under the quilt.Waiting for him to put his things away, he heard the sound of footsteps outside the door.
