A knife in love

Chapter 850

Li Qiufeng didn't expect that the guards of the county government office were so strict tonight that they sent out night watchmen all around the government office.Fortunately, the range of light from the torches was limited, and this team of police officers was far away from Li Qiufeng, so they didn't notice anyone on the opposite side.Li Qiufeng met this team of policemen on a narrow road, and wanted to quit the alley too late.He was anxious, looked around and saw that the alley was very narrow, no more than five feet left and right, only allowing two people to pass by.Seeing that the torch was getting closer, Li Qiufeng had no choice but to touch his right foot, and his body rose into the air, and landed silently on the wall of the county government office.

When he crouched on the top of the wall, he could only hear the sound of footsteps in the alley, and a team of shopkeepers, holding torches in their hands, was walking past where he had just stood.All the arresters in this team held steel knives, looked solemn, and walked vigorously, but they were all unfamiliar faces. Presumably, they were all arresters brought by Han Qusi from Luoyang.

After the team of arresters walked out of the alley, Li Qiufeng breathed a sigh of relief.He crouched on the top of the wall and looked intently into the yamen courtyard, but there was darkness in front of him.Except for the two lanterns hanging in front of the main hall several tens of feet away, there was no light in the courtyard.But Li Qiufeng knew that the more this was the case, the tighter the defense in the yamen would be.There is no light, so that the enemy cannot see the situation in the yard clearly.In this way, if someone rushes in rashly, they will be caught by the police who have already ambushed.

Li Qiufeng pondered for a moment, then gently broke off a piece of tile from the top of the wall with his right hand, and then bounced the piece into the yard.After a while, I only heard a soft "pop" sound from three or four feet away.At this moment, there was only a sound of footsteps not far away, and they were running towards the place where the sound came from.

Li Qiufeng's heart trembled, and he hurriedly put his whole body on the top of the wall.Only the sound of chaotic footsteps reached the place where the noise came from, and then someone lit a torch.With the light of the torch, I saw five or six figures not far away, looking for something on the ground.Immediately afterwards, someone in the distance said loudly: "Old Mu, what can't be done?"

Someone among the five or six figures replied: "It's nothing, I think a mouse ran past."

The man in the distance said: "Look carefully, even if it is a mouse, I have to catch it! Brothers, work harder, and after half an hour, someone will come to replace us!"

The old Mu agreed, and then said to the people around him: "Put out the torch, and let's go to the pool to watch."

After a while, the torch was extinguished, and Li Qiufeng saw darkness again.

Seeing that the guards in the county government office are so tightly guarded, he was thinking how he could sneak into the county government office to meet Huang Chong and Yu Fan, but suddenly he heard a dense sound of horseshoes coming from outside the alley, as if a large group of horses and horses were rushing over from west to east .Li Qiufeng's heart trembled, and he thought to himself that it was already late at night, how could there be a horse team rushing towards the county government office?

Hearing the sound of horseshoes and footsteps passing by the entrance of the alley, he went straight to the main gate of the county government.Li Qiufeng paid attention, and looked in the direction of the main gate of the county government.After a while, only the sound of drumming at the main entrance was heard.Immediately afterwards, someone shouted loudly in the distance: "Someone is going to rush into the yamen! Everyone go to the door and stop them!"

As soon as the man's voice fell, he saw dozens of torches being lit in the courtyard, and the police officers hiding in various places showed up one after another, and rushed straight to the main entrance of the front courtyard.Li Qiufeng saw that there were hundreds of arresters ambushing in the yard, and they all rushed to the front yard at this moment.He thought to himself, God is helping me!It's just who is so bold that he dared to break into the magistrate's office at night?

It's just that he knew that the opportunity was rare at this time, so he didn't hesitate for a moment, put his left hand on the top of the wall, and fell lightly into the courtyard of the county government.After his feet landed, he carefully identified the direction, and ran towards the corner gate next to the main hall, intending to rush into the back house through the corner gate, find Huang Chong, the county magistrate, and inform the government that the Japanese pirates had sneaked into Xiuwu County.

Unexpectedly, he rushed to the side of the corner door, but he heard a mess of footsteps inside the corner door, mixed with the sound of talking.Li Qiufeng was startled, and hastily pressed one side of his body tightly against the wall next to the corner door.Just as he hid, several people came out quickly from the corner door.I only heard one of them say: "What kind of crazy did he go in the middle of the night? Both public and private, he wants to look good to us, right?!"

The man finished speaking, but Huang Chong's voice sounded: "We must also be considerate of him. After all, his only son is dead. Old Hu has acquired such a large family business, and no one will inherit it. Are you anxious?"

The person who spoke earlier snorted, and said in his mouth: "If we hadn't spent a lot of money on management, would he have earned this family business? Now that the disaster is approaching, he will give us this trick. Did he want to kill us all? And when he arrived, he said he only brought three or forty people with him. We didn't expect that he would secretly bring soldiers and horses and hide them in a secret place outside the city. Ambush him and us I'm afraid that he has lost his mind. Now he ordered his soldiers to openly break the city gate and rush into the city. If this matter spreads to the Sixth Ministry and alarms Jinyiwei and Dongchang, it may be difficult to deal with the matter. "

Several people hurried to the front yard while talking, and after a while, they had passed through the second corner door into the yard and walked into the front yard.Therefore, what these people said later, Li Qiufeng did not hear clearly.It's just that after hearing these few words, Li Qiufeng became suspicious.Of the two people who spoke just now, one was undoubtedly Huang Chong, the magistrate of Xiuwu County, and the other's voice was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while.As for the others, they remained silent.There was no light when these people walked, so it was impossible to tell who they were.However, listening to those two people talking, the person who led people to break into the county government at night is most likely Hu Kun, the commander of Ruyang Guard.Because Hu Yiyue was Hu Kun's only son, he was suddenly killed tonight.And only Hu Kun is the commander of the army and has the right to lead the army.It's just that Li Qiufeng didn't expect that when Hu Kun came to Xiuwu County this time, he would secretly bring soldiers and horses, and at this time he openly broke through the city gate and broke into the city.According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, this is no different from rebellion.Thinking about Hu Yiyue being killed, Hu Kun became so angry that he no longer had any scruples in acting.

He thought about it for a moment, only to feel that things were getting weirder, and it was very easy for others to notice him standing here.So he looked left and right, then strode towards the front yard.When he passed through the corner gate, he saw a torch in the front yard, illuminating the surrounding area with light.Only now did he realize that the courtyard was not only crowded with police officers on duty, but also many people in civilian clothes.These people held swords in their hands and guarded the yard together with the arresters.

Li Qiufeng walked out from the corner gate, and everyone in the yard was staring at the main gate of the yamen, so no one noticed someone coming out from behind.Li Qiufeng took the opportunity to blend into the crowd, pretending to be nonchalant, and stared at the main entrance of the yamen.It's just that when he looked carefully, he saw a few people standing on the stone steps at the gate. Among them were Cai Xiao, the owner of Biyunwu in Shanxi Province who attended the banquet tonight, Shi Nianhao, the head of the Luoyang Shijia Knife, and the head of the Leiquan sect. The doorman Yang Ziqiao.

Li Qiufeng couldn't help but shudder when he saw that these three people were also in the county government office.Thought to himself that although these three people are in the martial arts world, in terms of martial arts and their status in the arena, they are not only far below Liu Yong, Chu Danyang and others, but also have mediocre knowledge, they are just third-rate characters in the arena.It must be a joke that Huang Chong invited these three people to assist Tolerance in arresting and guarding the county government.Just thinking about it, Huashan, Kunlun, Emei and other well-known sects have a detached status. Huang Chongsheng was afraid that he would lose face if he couldn't invite these sects, so he invited Cai Xiao and others to guard the yamen.

Standing by Li Qiufeng's side are not only police officers on duty, but also people from the rivers and lakes in civilian clothes.A man in black said to the other two men in gray in a low voice: "Old Li, Brother Peng, although our Shijia Dao has had a feud with your Thunder Fist Sect, we are now in a critical time. If we start fighting after a while , everyone must work together, don't stab the knife in the back!"

A gray-clothed man sneered, and said in his mouth: "Master Qi, as long as your Shi family swords don't make troubles, our Thunder Fist Sect will naturally not make things difficult for you. Although Li has never read a book, he still listens to the words of dead lips and cold teeth." passed."

The hall master Qi who spoke earlier was stunned, and said: "The skirt king stabs cold? What do you mean? Our old Qi is a rough man. He has only heard of Jing Ke stabbing Qin, but he has never heard of the skirt king stabbing the cold." What kind of king is the king of skirts? Could it be that he is a king in skirts?"
