A knife in love

Chapter 980

Nie Dingnan stood in front of Li Qiufeng like an iron tower.He was a full head taller than Li Qiufeng, looking down at Li Qiufeng from a height, adding to his power.

When the dozen or so people around heard Li Qiufeng yelling at Nie Dingnan to get out of the way, their faces changed drastically, and some even reached out to their waists, trying to pull out the weapons hidden on their bodies.

But Nie Dingnan smiled and said, "I've been waiting for you here for an hour, and you're talking to me in this tone?"

Li Qiufeng said coldly: "Waiting for an hour is your business, and it's not that I want you to wait here."

Nie Dingnan was startled, and stared at Li Qiufeng.After a while, he shook his head, sighed, and said, "I really don't know why he took a fancy to you."

Li Qiufeng was still expressionless, and walked straight forward. Seeing that he was about to bump into Nie Dingnan, Nie Dingnan had to step aside and said, "I have an elder who wants to see you, please come with me."

Li Qiufeng saw that Nie Dingnan's tone softened, but he didn't stop. He walked towards the temple gate without turning his head and said, "If he wants to see me, he can come to the right side room in the backyard to find me."

Li Qiufeng walked to the temple gate, stretched out his hand and pushed on the door, and the temple gate opened in response.

Miao Zhu cowered and stood in the yard.Seeing Li Qiufeng walking in, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Master Li, you are finally back. Those masters outside have been waiting for you."

Li Qiufeng nodded, and saw that the temple was brightly lit, but there was no one there.The main hall facing the temple gate has been closed, and all the lanterns on the high poles around the corridor and the courtyard have been lit.But although the surrounding area is as bright as day, it feels a little eerie because of the lack of popularity.

Li Qiufeng looked around and walked down the stone steps.Miao Zhu followed closely beside him, and said in a low voice, "Master Li, those people outside the door are a bit weird, you should always be careful of them."

Li Qiufeng said "Oh", and said as he walked, "How did you see that?"

Miao Zhu said: "The people who live in the backyard of the Town God's Temple today have also visited the Town God's Temple during the Lantern Festival in previous years. The villain also told the uncle before that after these people arrive at the Town God's Temple, they will go to the main hall to pay homage to the Town God's Empress on the Lantern Festival. , has always rarely left the house. But this year's situation is quite different from previous years. Take this tall man as an example. He has been here many times in previous years. But he was domineering and arrogant. In the evening, the villain went to ask if he wanted to prepare dinner for them. The man scolded the villain, saying that the villain was meddling in his own business. As soon as he took the lead, several other men surrounded him. He actually wanted to surround and beat up the villain. If it wasn't for the old man's persuasion, I'm afraid the villain would have been beaten black and swollen by them."

Li Qiufeng pretended to be surprised, and said, "There is such a thing?"

Miao Zhu said bitterly: "The villain retreated in embarrassment, trying to avoid these people far away, so as not to be angry with them. Later, this tall man found the villain again and asked him about your origin. The villain only It is said that the yamen settled you here, and the villain knows nothing about the rest. The thief only scolded the villain a few times before he left with a grunt. Later, before it was dark, he asked the villain to drive away all the pilgrims Let's go. The villain dared not refuse, so he invited all the pilgrims out. But the villain found that he was leading a dozen people to stand guard in front of the temple. I will report to you. But this group of people is guarding the door, and the villain can’t get out even if he wants to, so he is in a hurry. Fortunately, the uncle has his own destiny, and these thieves did not dare to make things difficult for you.”

While the two were talking, they had passed through the corner door and entered the backyard.Compared with the front yard, except for the dim light from the windows of the main hall, the back yard is completely dark because the left and right side rooms are not lit.Li Qiufeng knew that the powerful figures of Nie, Lu, Zhao, and Du's family were sitting in the wing room. At this moment, he didn't know how many eyes were staring at him from the cracks in the door and windows, and he felt a little nervous. He involuntarily held the handle of the Xiuchun knife.

But Miao Zhu also knew that the wing room was full of people, so he didn't dare to speak loudly like before, so he just lowered his voice and said to Li Qiufeng: "These people's temperament has changed a lot this year. Be careful. The villain was frightened by them, and originally wanted to invite them to live in the main hall, but these people did not agree for some reason, but instead asked the villain to live in the main hall with peace of mind, which is strange."

Li Qiufeng thought to himself, this temple doesn't understand the sinister people in the world.The reason why the Nie family doesn't live in the main hall is because they know that if the enemy sneak attack, they will think that Mrs. Nie and other leaders live in the main hall, so they will attack the main hall.The Nie family wanted Miao Zhu to be used as a bait, but it was ridiculous that this person didn't know it, and thought that it was rare for the Nie family to have such kindness.If there is an enemy attack, I'm afraid Miao Zhu will be killed first.And the masters of the Nie, Lu, Zhao, and Du families who lived in the left and right wing rooms suddenly rushed out, and they could catch the enemy by surprise.

Li Qiufeng knew that the Japanese pirates' conspiracy was about to start, but he couldn't bear to wish his life was killed.So he whispered to Miao Zhu: "There is one thing, I want to remind my brother. The whereabouts of this group of people are strange. After entering here, they live in secluded places, and they don't even light the lights at night. In all likelihood, there are enemies in the rivers and lakes." .They don’t live in the main hall because they are afraid that their enemies will secretly come to retaliate. You might as well think about it, if their enemies slip into the backyard, where will they go to kill first?”

Miao Zhu was startled, his body trembled, he stopped, and said in a trembling voice: "Master, sir, you mean, you said..."

Li Qiufeng chuckled and said, "I didn't say anything, you can think about it yourself."

Miao Zhu said tremblingly: "Thank you for reminding me, I will move to the front yard tonight, tonight."

Li Qiufeng ignored him, walked to his room, and listened for a while, but there was no movement in the room next to him.He gently pushed open the door and turned on the torch, only to find that a strand of hair that he carefully placed by the door when he left was still in place, so he was relieved.He walked to the table and lit the candles on the table with a torch, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Qiufeng drank a cup of tea, took off the Xiuchun knife, leaned against the bed, and carefully recalled today's situation.Liu Yong has already arrived outside the city, and the various sects will rush back to the outside of Xiuwu County tomorrow.With the help of these masters, things will be much easier.Nie Dingnan said that someone wanted to see him, and that person was undoubtedly Mrs. Nie.When he wanted to see himself, it was most likely because he wanted to make friends with Jin Yiwei and use Jin Yiwei's power to deal with Japanese pirates.Since the Nie family wanted him, they would not harm him.So Li Qiufeng wasn't afraid at all, he just thought about how to deal with Mrs. Nie.

While he was thinking, he only heard a faint "squeak" sound from a distance.Li Qiufeng was startled, and heard the sound of the door opening.Immediately afterwards, footsteps came from the yard, and they were walking towards their own house.

Li Qiufeng hung the Xiuchun knife back to his waist, walked to the table and sat down.After a while, only the sound of footsteps had reached the door, and then someone said, "Is the master in?"

Li Qiufeng recognized the voice of Mrs. Nie, even though he had already thought that this old fellow would come to see him, his heart still trembled.He took a deep breath, and then said in a deep voice, "Come in."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door slowly opened, and then an old man with white beard and hair came in.Li Qiufeng looked intently, and saw that this person was wearing a gray robe and a pair of thick-soled black cloth shoes on his feet. It was the old Mrs. Nie whom he had seen in Fengmen Village.

After Mrs. Nie entered, he closed the door casually, walked unhurriedly to the table, and said to Li Qiufeng: "Old man did not guess wrong, brother is a man with a lot of history."

Li Qiufeng's expression remained unchanged, and he said: "The old man let me out of Fengmen Village that day, and I appreciate your kindness."

Old Mrs. Nie sat down firmly on the chair, smiled and said: "It's easy to say, easy to say. I see that my brother is not a villain, and I don't want to form a grudge with Jin Yiwei, so I just push the boat and give my brother a favor."

Hearing what Old Master Nie said, Li Qiufeng knew that he had identified himself as Jin Yiwei, and he happened to use his identity as Jin Yiwei to deal with him.So he said in a deep voice: "The old man has good eyesight, and he actually saw my identity."

Old Mrs. Nie smiled and said, "To tell you the truth, this old man was also an official in the capital. After so many years, even though he is getting old and dizzy, he can still recognize the Xiuchun knife worn by Jin Yiwei."
