A knife in love

Chapter 896

Holding the torches, the two walked forward step by step.

Li Qiufeng held the torch in his left hand, and held the handle of Xiuchun Knife tightly with his right hand.He was only three feet away from Lao Gao, within this range, even a top expert like Liu Sheng Zongyan, if his back was turned to Li Qiufeng, he might not be able to escape his sudden blow.What's more, Lao Gao is just an old man who is nearly seventy years old and has no strength to restrain a chicken?

Last night when Li Qiufeng was held hostage by Nie Dingnan and walked through this cave, he was not as nervous as he is now.That's because Nie Dingnan wanted to bring him into Fengmen Village, and he didn't want to kill him for a while.Walking in the cave at this time, he was taking the risk to follow Lao Gao down the mountain.If the black-clothed guards outside the cave received orders from the old man surnamed Nie or Nie Dingnan, they would definitely activate the news from the mechanism in the cave.Although I am not afraid of those black-clothed guards using force, I don't know much about the agency news.Situ Qiao and Changsun Guangming are no longer around, and if you rely on your own strength, if you want to retreat from Jingxin Temple and Taniguchi Village, it will be more difficult than going to heaven.

Although this cave is not short, it is not very long either.It's just that Li Qiufeng was nervous, and Lao Gao walked very slowly, so he felt that he had walked for a long time, but he still hadn't reached the end of the cave.

The further Li Qiufeng walked away, the more frightened he felt. In the end, even the right hand holding the Xiuchun knife trembled slightly.He was shocked, thinking to himself that although he had encountered strange things many times before, he was not as flustered as he is today.Why did I feel so terrified when I walked in this cave and there was only an old man with a stooped body in front of me?

In fact, although Li Qiufeng is strong in martial arts and has a meticulous mind, his experience in the world is not deep after all. Not to mention standing shoulder to shoulder with the heads of famous families such as Liu Yong and Chu Danyang, even Cui Yanshou and others are much better than him.And ever since he left the capital, no matter whether he was in the Underworld of the Imperial Mausoleum, Jingxin Temple in Hutouyan, or Tanikou Village in the ancient battlefield of Changping, he was surrounded by enemies such as Yu Changyuan and Zhuang Hengyun, or Situ Qiao and Changsun Guangming. Wait for weird people who are both good and evil, not to mention Liu Yong, Chu Danyang, Xu Chenghe and other chivalrous men.What's more, there is Murong Danyan who is a bit reckless but still charming and lovely.Although the enemies he faced, such as Yu Changyuan, Tang He, Liu Sheng Zongyan, Yao Guangxiao, etc., were all scheming and vicious, but he also had a lot of helpers around him.That's why he can stay calm in the face of danger and overcome powerful enemies repeatedly.It's just that today in this cave, he is completely alone.In addition, although there is a torch in his hand, the range of light is really limited, which makes the dark and deep cave even more dim, adding a little bit of horror to the atmosphere.That's why Li Qiufeng was so nervous and terrified like never before, even his right hand holding the knife trembled a little.

I don't know how long I walked, and suddenly I heard Lao Gao whispering: "It's the exit. You have to remember, if the guards interrogate, I will deal with it, and you don't talk."

Li Qiufeng nodded.The two walked forward for more than ten steps. With the light of the torches in their hands, Li Qiufeng realized that they had reached the end of the cave before they knew it.I saw a stone wall three or four steps away, and under the light of the torch, the surface of the stone wall appeared extremely smooth.

Lao Gao walked up to the stone wall, groped with his right hand a few times on the right side of the stone wall, and then pressed hard on the stone wall, only to hear the sound of "cracking", and a moment later, there was another loud "rumbling" sound, followed by Then the stone wall in front of him cracked a gap from the middle, and after a while, the two stone gates moved to the left and right respectively, shrinking straight into the cave wall.The light from outside the cave shone in, making both of them unable to open their eyes for a moment.

Li Qiufeng knew that this moment was the most dangerous, so he closed his eyes slightly, focused his inner strength on his right arm, and could draw his sword to hurt people violently at any time.He only heard Lao Gao say beside him: "Put out the torch and follow me out."

Li Qiufeng opened his eyes, but he saw that Lao Gao poked the torch in his hand on the cave wall a few times. After the flames were extinguished, he inserted the torch into the stone hole in the cave wall.Following his example, Li Qiufeng also extinguished the torch and inserted it into the cave wall, then followed Lao Gao out of the cave.

But he saw more than a dozen guards in black standing outside the cave, all holding swords, staring at the entrance of the cave covetously.But seeing Lao Gao coming out, the guards put down their swords one after another, with expressions of relief on their faces.

A man in black at the head said with a smile: "Old Gao, do you want to go down the mountain to buy some good wine and food?"

Lao Gao opened and closed his eyes, and said in his mouth: "All the good wine in the world is in the old man's wine cellar, where is it used to buy wine? It's just that the old man wants to eat quail meat buns, so I'll go down the mountain to buy some quail. "

The man in black said: "It's better for you, old man, to go down the mountain as soon as you say it. Those of us who stand here all day are worse than his mother's big tree."

Lao Gao smiled, and said, "Fuck you. You guys are idle here during the day, so you can play dice for money. At night, you can go back to the village and sleep with your wife in your arms. I have to work for three meals during the fucking day. Said, I have to get up at the third watch every day to prepare breakfast, and from time to time I have to go down the mountain to buy ingredients. This hard work is no less than that of you standing here."

The man in black was a little embarrassed, and said with a sneer, "Old Mrs. Nie is being careful. Can we leave it to our brothers to do small things like going down the mountain to buy food? Why don't you and Lao Zhang go down the mountain in person? I don't know." What does his old man think?"

Lao Gao sneered, and said: "If someone tampers with the old man's food, our Fengmen Village will be in great trouble. Leave it to you monkey cubs to handle it, and maybe some monsters will come out of it. Not letting you go, but it is also for your own good."

The man in black stuck out his tongue and said, "Your old Gao is right. If the old man has something wrong, Fourth Master Nie won't kill us alive? Anyway, in his eyes, Nie The members of the family are all human beings, and the children of our Lu, Zhao, and Du families are not bullshit."

Li Qiufeng was very angry when he heard the man in black speak.I thought to myself, the four families of Nie, Lu, Zhao, and Du lived together in Fengmen Village. On the surface, the children of the three families of Lu, Zhao, and Du became officials and made money, but in fact it was the children of the Nie family who controlled the overall situation. , the other three are just puppets.Although this stone cave is not long, the more important end of the village is guarded by the children of the Nie family. The men in black in front of us presumably belong to the other three families, so they can only guard outside the mountain.These people thought that they were usually offended by the children of the Nie family a lot, so when they spoke, they were so resentful.

I only heard Lao Gao say: "I don't care if it's bullshit or not. I won't talk to you anymore. I have to go down the mountain quickly, otherwise I won't be able to come back in time to make buns."

When he said this, he pointed to Li Qiufeng and said to the man in black: "This was sent by Uncle Nie to deliver a letter to the old man. Last night, Fourth Master Nie took him back to the village in person. Because I have to go down the mountain to do something, so the old man Let him go with me."

The man in black had no doubts at all, just glanced at Li Qiufeng, then ignored him, turned his head and said to Lao Gao: "Since the old man ordered, you should go and return quickly. In case you come back late, the old man will be furious Well, it will be us people with foreign surnames who will be unlucky at that time! Maybe we will be punished to stay here for ten and a half days, and that would be bad."

After Lao Gao led Li Qiufeng out of the cave entrance, he walked more than ten feet away. Li Qiufeng couldn't help turning his head to look, but saw a stone wall lying tens of feet away behind him. not see.The dozen or so black-clothed guards were standing under the stone wall in twos and threes, chatting boredly about something.

The two walked forward at a leisurely pace, and after turning a bend, they were already a hundred feet away from the stone wall.Li Qiufeng listened intently, and there was no abnormal sound except the sound of the mountain wind blowing through the woods, so he stopped and said to Lao Gao: "I can go down the mountain safely today, thank you for your help. Let's say goodbye Well, go down the mountain by yourself."

Lao Gao turned around, looked at Li Qiufeng and said, "Will you come down the mountain with me?"

Li Qiufeng shook his head, pointed to a forest on the left side of the road, and said, "I came from that forest last night, so naturally I have to go back the same way."

Lao Gao shook his head, and said, "That's a shortcut to enter the village from the east, but it's been abandoned long ago, and I'm afraid there are no traces of the road at the moment. Compared with the two, it's better to walk on this main road. "

When Lao Gao said this, he paused for a while, looked at Li Qiufeng and said, "I'm Gao Cheng, see you sir!"
