A knife in love

Chapter 964

After Mei Dali's apprentices received the money, they flattered Li Qiufeng a bit, and then left happily.

Li Qiufeng walked slowly towards the Town God's Temple, thinking to himself, Zhang Baixing went out of the city to greet him in person, the visitor must be one of the four families of Nie, Lu, Zhao, and Du from Fengmen Village.It seems that the important figures of these four families will live in the Town God's Temple, and the rest will gather in the abandoned house in the north of the city.Perhaps this is the largest gathering of the children of the four families in hundreds of years.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.If it is true as I guessed before, the Nie family will first use the hands of the Japanese pirates to get rid of the three families of Lu, Zhao, and Du, and then take the opportunity to pick the Japanese pirates in one fell swoop.After these two battles, the city of Xiuwu County must be bloodshed, and it was the people in the city who were unlucky in the end.And how cunning Liu Sheng Zongyan was, how could he be concealed by the Nie family's tricks?Right now in the city, the Nie family is in one group, and the Lu, Zhao, and Du families are in another group. The two sides are allies on the surface, but since the fall of the Xu family, the two groups have secretly plotted against each other.But the Japanese pirates are imminent.Huashan, Kunlun, Emei, Qingcheng and other famous and decent sects have withdrawn from Xiuwu County, and only I have to deal with these groups of people in the city. If I am not careful, I will lose everything.

Before he knew it, he had already reached the gate of the Town God's Temple.But there is an endless stream of pilgrims entering and leaving the Temple of the City God.And in the open space in front of the Town God's Temple, dozens of people were busy carrying logs, bricks and stones, it was really noisy.Li Qiufeng was puzzled, so he stopped a man carrying a big log and asked, "Excuse me, what do you want to do when you move the log here?"

The man glanced at Li Qiufeng and said, "You're not from the local area, are you?"

Li Qiufeng said: "I'm a businessman passing by Xiuwu County. I heard that the Town God's Temple in the city is very effective, so I came here to pay homage to the City God Empress."

The man said: "It's better to come early than to come early. Let me tell you, the yamen has issued an order. This year's Lantern Festival has been moved forward by half a month, and it will start in four days. We are going to set up in this open space. Shelving, hanging lanterns. There are also those who come to set up stalls for business, and use those woods, bricks and tiles to build some wooden houses. Brother, if you have goods to sell, wait until the day of the Lantern Festival, and I will guarantee that you can sell them all in the morning clean."

After the big man finished speaking, he carried the wood and left alone.Li Qiufeng looked at the busy people all around, and thought to himself, on the day of the Lantern Festival, there must be a sea of ​​people here.Since the leaders of Nie, Lu, Zhao, and Du's families live in the Temple of the City God, the Japanese pirates will definitely not let it go.If there is chaos, hundreds of people trample on each other, the casualties must be extremely heavy.We must think of a way to evacuate the people in advance.

Li Qiufeng walked into the Town God's Temple, but saw that there were many more colorful lights in the courtyard.Miao Zhu was running up and down in the yard, so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground.Li Qiufeng didn't want to disturb him, so he passed among the pilgrims and quietly walked into the backyard.

After he returned to his residence, he paced slowly in the room.The matter is extremely urgent, the best way is naturally to come forward from the Yamen, put the whole city under martial law, and keep the Japanese pirates out of the city.But right now, it seems that there are Japanese undercover agents even in the Yamen of the Chasi in Henan, such as the Yamen of the prefect of Luoyang and the Yamen of the county magistrate of Xiuwu County.And judging by Liang Huan's demeanor, he was undoubtedly a stupid official.Even if I told him about the conspiracy of the Japanese pirates, this person would only think that I was scaring him, and would not believe what I said at all.Another way is for the Nie family to come forward and summon the four disciples of Nie, Lu, Zhao, and Du to join forces with Huashan, Kunlun, Emei, Qingcheng and other martial arts righteousness to fight against the Japanese pirates.But Ji Dingzhong and Mrs. Nie are determined to let the Japanese pirates destroy the three families of Lu, Zhao, and Du, so that they can reap the benefits of fishing.If I go to Ji Dingzhong for a showdown, not only will this person not listen to my ideas, but he will kill himself to silence him.Therefore, neither the government nor the Nie family can conspire with it.

Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng was quite anxious.Originally, I thought that I could join hands with the four families of Fengmen Village, plus the police officers from the Henan Yachasi Yamen, Luoyang Zhifu Yamen, and Xiuwu County Zhifu Yamen, as well as Shijiadao, Leiquanmen, Shanxi Biyunwu and other gang forces, You can fight the pirates.But only now did he realize that he had estimated the situation in Xiuwu County too well.Ji Dingzhong is extremely cunning, he will definitely not fight against the Japanese pirates first, but after the Japanese pirates have wiped out the three families of Lu, Zhao, and Du, and when the Japanese pirates are exhausted after the war, he will attack the Japanese pirates.It's just that he doesn't know how powerful Yagyu Zongyan is, and the assassins of the Yagyu clan and the Japanese pirates on the southeast coast are definitely not something ordinary police officers on duty can deal with.No matter who wins or loses in the end, the people of Xiuwu County will definitely encounter a terrible catastrophe.

The more Li Qiufeng thought about it, the more frightened he became, and suddenly he remembered Yuan Jue and other nuns from Kule Nunnery living in Ziyang Temple.If there is chaos in the city, they must be murdered.Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng strode out, went straight out of the Town God's Temple, and went straight to Ziyang Temple.

When he arrived outside Ziyang Temple, he saw that there was no one around. Compared with Chenghuang Temple, this place is extremely desolate.Seeing that the gate was closed tightly, Li Qiufeng stepped forward and knocked on the knocker lightly a few times.After a while, there was only the sound of footsteps inside the door, followed by the sound of the door bolt being pushed down. A moment later, the Guanmen door opened a gap, and a little Taoist nun poked her head out.When she saw Li Qiufeng standing in front of the door, she couldn't help being taken aback, and said: "This temple is not enshrined by the common people. If you want to worship the gods, please find another place."

After the little nun finished speaking, she was about to close the door. Li Qiufeng hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Little master, wait a minute. I'm not going to go to the temple to offer incense, but to find someone. There is a master Yuanjue who brought more than a dozen apprentices to live in the temple. Guiguan. I have something important to discuss with Master Yuanjue, please let my little master inform you on my behalf."

When the little nun heard Li Qiufeng said that she wanted to find Yuanjue, she had a look of surprise on her face.She turned her head from side to side and saw that Li Qiufeng was the only one in front of the audience, so she said to Li Qiufeng: "You wait here for a while, I will report. However, I can't guarantee whether Master Yuanjue is willing to see you. "

Li Qiufeng said: "Little master just needs to tell her that my surname is Li, and she will naturally come out to see me."

Not long after the little nun went back, she heard footsteps coming from inside the door again.After a while, the Guan door was pushed open, and Yuanjue came out in a hurry.She saw Li Qiufeng standing in front of the door with an apologetic expression on his face, clasped his hands together, and said, "Amitabha. Ziyang Temple is a place for cultivating the Kun Dao, men are not allowed to enter, and please benefactor Li don't mind."

Li Qiufeng cupped his hands to return the salute, and said: "The younger generation knows the rules, so how can there be any complaints? It's a bit abrupt to disturb the master suddenly, and I hope the master will forgive you."

When he said this, he paused for a while, and then continued: "There is a big change in the city, and I ask the master to take the masters in Guian to leave Xiuwu County as soon as possible. The farther the better. For a day or two at night, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave even if I want to."

Yuanjue was stunned when he heard Li Qiufeng's solemn words, and was about to ask the reason, but he heard Li Qiufeng continue: "The ins and outs of this matter, the younger generation can't explain clearly for a while. I hope Master can listen to this junior's persuasion and leave this place as soon as possible."

Seeing Li Qiufeng's anxious expression, Yuanjue knew that this matter must be serious.She knew that although the man in front of her was young, he was calm in his work and had high martial arts skills. If he urged her to leave Xiuwu County, something big would happen.Ye Yuanjue thought for a while, nodded, and said: "All right, as Benefactor Li said, the poor monk will leave Xiuwu County today and go north to Taiyuan."

Seeing that Yuanjue was no longer stubborn, Li Qiufeng finally breathed a sigh of relief.Just thinking about it, he said to Yuanjue again: "Master, if it is possible, you'd better persuade Miss Huang to leave Xiuwu County with you. Right now, the magistrate's yamen is also a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. I'm afraid Huang Zhixian himself will be too." I can't protect myself. Miss Huang stays in the city, I am worried that she will be in danger."

If it was the past, Yuanjue would not believe Li Qiufeng's persuasion.But ever since she and Huang Xu were captured by mysterious people in the Town God's Temple that night, and she heard Li Qiufeng talk about the four families of Nie, Lu, Zhao, and Du in Fengmen Village, she already vaguely knew that Huang Chong's identity was extremely unusual. Therefore, I have been worried about Huang Xu.Hearing what Li Qiufeng said, she nodded without any hesitation, and said: "You can rest assured, the benefactor, the poor monk must try to persuade Xu'er to leave Xiuwu County with me."
