A knife in love

Chapter 929

Wan Congyun and the others hurriedly ordered their disciples to pick up the fallen leaves.Six to seventy people worked together, and in the blink of an eye, a hill-like pile of branches was piled up outside the pavilion.Some people were afraid that there would not be enough branches, so more than a dozen people worked together to break down several dead trees that were as thick as bowls.

Li Qiufeng carried Monk Xuanji's body into the pile of branches, and put his head and body together, then lit the torch and lit the branches.Wan Congyun and others gathered around, throwing dead branches into the fire continuously.A moment later, the flames shot up into the sky, and the flames had already engulfed the body of Monk Xuanji.Everyone just felt the heat wave hit their faces, so they had to keep retreating.

Everyone kept adding branches to the fire, and the fire burned for half an hour, melting the remaining snow within ten feet around into a puddle of muddy water.Mei Dali approached Li Qiufeng and whispered, "Commander Li, the great monk's body should have been cremated to ashes, do you think we still have to throw branches into it?"

Li Qiufeng shook his head, turned his head to look at everyone, and suddenly bowed to the ground.Wan Congyun and the others turned pale with shock, and while returning the salutes one after another, they said in a trembling voice, "Commander Li, what are you, what are you doing? Isn't this killing a villain?"

Li Qiufeng stood up straight, looking at the sixty or seventy street people in front of him, he just felt that these street people were many times better than monk Guangzhi, Yuqingzi, Taishan Wulao and other martial arts masters. .He said with great emotion: "My friends, Li has offended me a lot in the past, and I'm here to apologize to you all. From now on, don't call me such nonsense as a commanding officer. If you think highly of Li, we might as well call him brothers!"

Although Wan Congyun and others were respectful and polite to Li Qiufeng on the surface, they didn't respect him deep down.It is only because Li Qiufeng has excellent martial arts and was appointed as the leader of the righteous people by the yamen that he is in vain.Seeing Li Qiufeng's sincere words at this moment, he was also quite moved.

Bayuyan was the first to say: "Lord Li...Since brother Li thinks highly of us, we naturally treat you as a brother. You are a great hero in the Jianghu. It is our brother's blessing to be able to associate with us. In the future As long as brother Li orders, we will do the work of dogs and horses."

Wan Congyun and Mei Dali saw that Bayuyan took the lead to speak, how could they be willing to lag behind?So he rushed to show his loyalty to Li Qiufeng.Li Qiufeng said: "Since you three regard me as brothers, there is no need to say these polite words. This master of mystery is my good friend, but he was murdered by an adulterer and ended up like this. The person who killed him was a man named Monk Guangzhi, this man is very skilled in martial arts, if you see this bald donkey, don't confront him, just tell me his whereabouts, and I will give you 100 taels of silver as a thank you."

After Wan Congyun and the others heard this, their eyes widened immediately, and they all patted their chests and swore, claiming that since they became brothers with Li Qiufeng, his friends are their own friends.Master Xuanji was murdered by a traitor, everyone should do their best to find the murderer and avenge him.Once there is news of Guangzhi's bald donkey, Li Qiufeng should be informed as soon as possible.This is to do the righteousness of a friend, definitely not for the 100 taels of silver.

Li Qiufeng was afraid that these people would be ignorant of the heights of heaven and earth, and if they attacked Monk Guangzhi without authorization, it would be tantamount to seeking their own death, so he was thinking of reminding everyone to be careful.But after thinking about it, these small people in the market are the best at observing their faces and making decisions when they see the wind.As long as you see Monk Guangzhi, you know that this person is very good at martial arts, so how dare you step forward to make a move?He must run faster than a rabbit and find himself earning the 100 taels of silver.So he swallowed the words that came to his lips, and just cupped his hands to thank everyone.

At this time, the fire in the fire pile was slowly extinguished.Li Qiufeng took off his coat, carefully picked up the ashes of Monk Xuanji and wrapped them up, and then led everyone back to Xiuwu County.After entering the city, Wan Congyun and others left immediately.Li Qiufeng knew that these people were eager to find out the whereabouts of Monk Guangzhi for the 100 taels of silver, so he said goodbye to everyone without saying much.

Li Qiufeng returned to the Town God's Temple, asked Miaozhu for a porcelain altar, put the ashes of Monk Xuanji into the altar, and asked Miaozhu to put the porcelain altar in the side hall of the Town God's Temple to worship.Miao Zhu saw that Li Qiufeng's face was not very good-looking, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He was about to leave with the porcelain altar in his hand. Take it first. When I finish my work and leave, there is still a heart to offer."

The temple ordered Yin to catch the head, and kept Li Qiufeng in the Temple of the Town God, but the boss was originally unwilling.It's just because of the yamen's face, knowing that they must not offend Yin Butou and Li Qiufeng, so they serve him carefully every day.Although Li Qiufeng was haunted and haunted, he didn't eat a few meals in the Town God's Temple, but the temple celebration meals were all prepared for him with famous wines and dishes from various taverns in Xiuwu County, but he spent three or four taels of silver before and after.At this time, seeing Li Qiufeng handing over a handful of scattered silver taels, which looked to be more than three or two taels, he was both surprised and delighted.Hearing that Li Qiufeng still had a heart before leaving, he was relieved.He held the porcelain altar in one hand, took the silver with the other, held it tightly in his hand, and said: "You see, you are very polite. How dare you accept your silver?"

After a few polite words, Li Qiufeng sent Miao Zhu away.It was already noon at this time, and the sunlight came in from the doors and windows, making the house as warm as spring.Li Qiufeng thought of discussing matters with Monk Xuanji in the room in the morning, but within a few hours, the two of them were already different ways.Thinking of this, his heart ached and he almost shed tears.After thinking for a while, he took out another three ingots of silver from under the pillow, found a set of old clothes to change into, and then left the Town God's Temple, heading straight for the resting place of the Huashan School in the north of the city.

When he arrived at the resting place of the Huashan faction, he saw five or sixty people gathered in the courtyard.Liu Yong, Chu Danyang, Xu Chenghe, and Feng Jie gathered together, talking in a low voice.Seeing Li Qiufeng arriving, the four hurriedly welcomed him into the hospital.Liu Yong said: "Master Xuanji's funeral has been arranged?"

Li Qiufeng nodded, seeing the disciples of Huashan, Kunlun, Emei, and Qingcheng sects gearing up, eager to try, was startled, and when he was about to ask, Liu Yong said to him: "There are too many people here, let's go to the backyard to discuss .”

When the five of them arrived in the backyard, Chu Danyang spread a map on the table and said to Li Qiufeng with a smile: "Sure enough, as Mr. Liu expected, we found Han Qusi, and he was shocked before he said a few words." He turned pale, and called Ji Dingzhong and Huang Chong to discuss. The surname Ji is really amazing. Before we even opened our mouths, he came up with a plan. He asked us to find a way to lure out the evil heretics hiding in Dajia Mountain. Hu Kun, the commander of the Ruyang Guards, will command the iron cavalry to ambush the evil heretics who come out of the mountain. In addition, the prefect of Luoyang and the prefect of Xiuwu County also mobilized two to three hundred tolerance arresters, as well as Shijiadao, Leiquanmen, and Tianlongmen. , Shanxi Biyunwu Cai family's disciples, disciples, and helpers, there are three to four hundred people together, and they will also go out of the city to help."

When Li Qiufeng heard the word "Tianlongmen", he thought to himself, although Cui Yanshou, the head of Tianlongmen, is ambitious, but this person will never offend the government.This person's martial arts skills are extremely high, if he can help him, it will be a good helper.

But after he thought about it, his face changed suddenly, and he said to Liu Yong: "Mr. Liu, there are dragons and snakes in Xiuwu County right now. With great fanfare, once the news leaks out, I am afraid that those evil spirits and heretics will be on guard, and our strategy will not work at all."

Liu Yong smiled slightly, and said in his mouth: "Ji Dingzhong thought of this a long time ago. Apart from him, Hu Kun, Han Qusi, Huang Chong and a few people who knew about this matter, even the leaders of Shijiadao, Leiquanmen and other gangs knew about it. I don't know what happened. Ji Dingzhong only said that he wanted to strengthen the inspections inside and outside the city, so he planned to transfer them outside the city. Moreover, Ji Dingzhong didn't intend to let these people fight against evil spirits and heretics, but just ambushed them outside the city, waiting After the Ruyang Guard's three thousand cavalry smashed those demons and heretics to pieces, these people can go forward and tie up people."

Li Qiufeng pondered for a while, and then asked, "When does Ji Dingzhong plan to strike?"

Liu Yong looked up at the sky and said, "Ji Dingzhong said that the sooner this matter is the better, otherwise the Japanese pirates will be on guard and things will be difficult to handle. It is estimated that after half an hour, he will send someone to inform us to go out of the city to lure the enemy .”
