A knife in love

Chapter 85

Li Qiufeng said: "It's nothing, I just asked him for some news."

Murong Danyan said: "Brother Li, Yu Changyuan and the others are not good people, why do you want to hang out with them?"

Li Qiufeng smiled and said, "Then do you think I am a good person?"

Murong Danyan said: "Of course you are a good person."

Li Qiufeng shook his head and said: "Ms. Murong, please forgive me for speaking bluntly. You don't have much experience in the world. You don't know good and evil in the world. Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish. For example, these soldiers, I heard Miss Murong call them Because of 'Qiu Ba', you think you are very disdainful towards them?"

Murong Danyan nodded and said: "That's right. I traveled all the way from Jiangnan to the north. In Henan, I have seen officers and soldiers go to the countryside to suppress bandits, but these officers and soldiers are worse than bandits. Not to mention robbing property, even killing good people and pretending to be meritorious. I was taught a lesson. I heard those villagers call them Qiu Ba, so I called them that too."

Li Qiufeng said: "Miss Murong, did you know that countless 'Qiu Ba' you mentioned are currently guarding the bitter cold places in the north. Most of them are from military households, and the whole family relies on one person to serve as a soldier for food. Farming Many were resold by the officers, and many soldiers’ family members starved to death, and had to sell their sons and daughters. Miss Murong has never seen such tragic scenes, has she?”

Murong Danyan widened his eyes, shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, I always thought they were villains who did evil. Could it be that they are bullied even if they have knives and guns in their hands?"

Li Qiufeng said: "Look at these soldiers, it takes a long time to drink a cup of tea. If they don't wear this military uniform, how are they different from beggars?"

Murong Danyan turned his head to look at those soldiers, and saw that they were sipping tea, some of them were reluctant to eat snacks, so they wrapped them and put them aside.Looking at them again, the military uniforms were quite worn out, and the shoes they were wearing were also patched, making them look quite distressed.Li Qiufeng said: "Naturally there are many villains among the officers and soldiers, but most of them are ordinary military households. It is their chief officers who get rich, and the soldiers are always the most unlucky ones. It is the same in the Jianghu. Everyone begs for food , Sometimes I have to make false claims. Yu Changyuan is not a good person, but sometimes I have to deal with him."

Murong Danyan murmured: "No wonder my father hates the officials of the Hangzhou Mansion, but he has to go to greet the officials who come to ask for an interview..."

Li Qiufeng looked at the Zhuang Ding not far away, and whispered to Murong Danyan: "There are a lot of eyeliners here, let's not talk about it."

Murong Danyan said: "It's just that old thief Yu and the others have come here from the capital, what is their plan? Sister Ma seems to know something, but I asked her and she didn't say anything."

Li Qiufeng shook his head and said, "I don't know the details, it's not a good thing after all. Miss Ma may not know either, so you don't need to ask her."

The two immediately talked about some anecdotes about the world. After the soldiers finished drinking their tea, they each wrapped their snacks in oiled paper and carefully put them in their luggage. Then they came over to say goodbye to Li Qiufeng.Li Qiufeng exchanged a few words with the bearded man, saw them walk into the crowd, and then sat down.

At this time, I saw a few people turning around from the corner of the street in the distance. It was He Yi who was leading several Zhuang Ding.Zhuang Ding led three horses, and each horse carried two large boxes on its back.Li Qiufeng winked at Zhuang Ding and led them to meet him.

He Yi and Li Qiufeng exchanged a few words, and then said: "There are still two loads of charcoal over there. We don't have enough horses. Let four more brothers bring them here."

Everyone waited for another stick of incense, and the four Zhuang Ding brought over two loads of charcoal, and the group left the market immediately.When He Yi saw Murong Danyan beside Li Qiufeng, he was startled for a moment, but didn't ask any questions.Li Qiufeng thought to himself: Zhuang Ding must have told him that Miss Murong would be with me. Zhuang Hengyun once said that He Yi is the most vicious person, and he must be handled carefully.

Because Murong Danyan followed Li Qiufeng closely, He Yi didn't talk to Li Qiufeng too much, and just found an excuse to walk in front of the team.Murong Danyan and Li Qiufeng walked last, and whispered: "This old thief used hidden weapons to harm me that day, and one day I will settle the score with him."

Li Qiufeng said in a low voice: "Small intolerance can lead to big schemes. Now is not the time to make trouble. It's just that this man is full of tricks, and the girl must be careful. The farther away from him, the better."

Murong Danyan said: "These old thieves won't let me go, and I naturally don't want to break up with them. When the time comes, Brother Li will hide far away, and I will settle accounts with them alone, and I will not drag you down you."

Li Qiufeng smiled wryly, and thought to himself: "If you fight three with one, you will definitely lose."

The journey was uneventful, and we returned to the Lama Temple smoothly.Wuhu Mountain Villa went to help in a big way, and there were enough manpower, so Yu Changyuan sent eight Zhuang Ding, and set up light and dark whistles around the Lama Temple.He Yi and the others were more than two miles away from the Lama Temple, and then Zhuang Ding entered the temple to report, and Yu Changyuan led people to welcome him to the courtyard.

At this time Zhuang Hengyun had also come back, everyone exchanged some greetings, and He Yi took several Zhuang Ding to an unoccupied monk's room in the backyard to refine gunpowder.Yu Changyuan said to the crowd: "Now we are strong and strong. We only need to wait for the third brother to get the gunpowder ready, and then we will make a fortune. Haha."

Li Qiufeng sent Murong Danyan back to his room, saw that Xiao Zhanpeng's complexion had improved a lot, and knew that the wound medicine had taken effect.Seeing Murong Danyan come in, Xiao Zhanpeng's eyes lit up, he was filled with joy beyond words.Li Qiufeng was secretly funny, chatted for a few words and left.

After leaving Murong Danyan's monk's room, he didn't go back, but went outside Xu Yingyang's monk's room, knocked on the door a few times, and said: "I'm under Li Qiufeng, please see Mr. Xu."

Xu Yingyang opened the door and let Li Qiufeng into the room. After the guests and hosts were seated, Li Qiufeng said: "You take the liberty to come to see me, and please don't be offended by Mr. Xu."

Xu Yingyang said: "We are not in Jinyiwei now, don't mention the word 'adult' anymore, you and I can be called brothers as much as possible."

Li Qiufeng said: "Brother Xu, please forgive Li for being rude. There is one thing I want to ask Brother Xu, is it rude?"

Xu Yingyang said: "If you have something to say, just talk about it, there is no such thing as being abrupt."

Li Qiufeng said: "Today, I was ordered by Master Yu to go down the mountain to meet the third master. On the way, I was intercepted by a woman in white clothes. This woman had been to the old shop of the Gu family before, and I only remember that she and Brother Xu seemed to know each other at that time. Li doesn't know why this person is making trouble for us again and again, so he came here to ask Brother Xu for advice."

Xu Yingyang's expression changed, and he said, "Did you hurt her?"

Li Qiufeng shook his head and said: "This person's martial arts are weird, how can it be so easy to hurt her? It's just that this person comes and goes without a trace, so it's very easy for her to take advantage of him. If we want to do this business, we must be careful about this person."

Xu Yingyang shook his head and said, "Brother Li, you can rest assured that she didn't come here for our business."

Li Qiufeng said: "Then what is she doing for it? Li found that she seemed to be related to Jin Yiwei, and even knew the Xiuchun knife we ​​used."

Xu Yingyang was silent for a long time before saying: "She knows it naturally. Brother Li, I know a little about this person's background, but it has nothing to do with our trip, so don't worry about her."

Seeing that Xu Yingyang refused to disclose the woman's background, Li Qiufeng had no choice but to get up and leave.Xu Yingyang sent him to the door, and said in a low voice: "Brother Li, you and I have both been in the Jinyiwei, so we naturally understand that some things are true and false, black and white, and it is not up to us errands to decide. We just need to do our own thing well, why bother with other things?"

Li Qiufeng said: "Brother Xu is right, and Li will keep it in mind."

He bid farewell to Xu Yingyang and went back to his room.Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the room, he saw that Yu Changyuan and Zhuang Hengyun had already arrived, talking to Yan Dufei.

When everyone saw Li Qiufeng coming in, they all stood up.Li Qiufeng said: "I'm sorry, I have something to look for Master Xu, so I came back late, please don't be offended by the big and second villa masters."

When Yu Changyuan heard that he was going to see Xu Yingyang, his expression changed slightly, and he said, "I don't know why Brother Li is going to see him?"

Li Qiufeng said: "Today, on our way down the mountain, we met the old monster Yanshan who was watching us. This old guy actually wanted to take advantage of our unpreparedness to attack us. Later, the woman in white that we met several times also appeared suddenly, scaring old monster Yue away. I remember that Master Xu seemed to know this woman in the old shop of the Gu family that day, so after returning, I went to ask Master Xu about the origin of this woman."

Hearing that he did not hide anything, Yu Changyuan immediately calmed down, and then asked, "I don't know how Master Xu answered?"

Li Qiufeng said: "Master Xu didn't say much, he just said that this woman has nothing to do with our trip, so I don't want to worry. I saw that he didn't want to say more, so I had to leave and come back."
