A knife in love

Chapter 996

Li Qiufeng stared at Xu Chengzong's vague figure, feeling uncertain in his heart.He knew that as long as he drew his sword to face each other, Xu Chengzong would definitely die by his sword.But at this time, the Japanese pirates' conspiracy is about to start. Killing Xu Chengzong will not help the matter, but will cut off the clues to find the Japanese pirates.And according to what Xu Chengzong said, although he wanted to get rid of the four families of Nie, Lu, Zhao, and Du, he must also deal with the Japanese pirates after that.Looking at the appearance of this person, it does not seem to be a fake.But it is not easy for Li Qiufeng to fully believe Xu Chengzong's words.So he thought about it, and it was difficult to make a decision.

Seeing that Li Qiufeng remained silent, Xu Chengzong knew that he must be thinking in his heart whether to kill himself or save his life to deal with the Japanese pirates.So he smiled slightly, and said to Li Qiufeng: "Lord Li, you Jin Yiwei were ordered to do business for nothing more than to seek fame and fame. If you can sit on the sidelines and watch the Japanese pirates being killed without any damage to yourself, wouldn't it be in your favor? Listen It is said that this time even Jin Yiwei Commander Yang Zhen and Lord Zhongyang have come to Xiuwu County. His old man has been in the ups and downs of his career for decades. If he knows about this, he will definitely be as Xu thinks, and he will be happy to reap the benefits..."

When Xu Chengzong said this, Li Qiufeng's heart moved. In an instant, his heart was clear, and he understood why Xu Chengzong tried hard to persuade himself not to intervene.Presumably, after Xu Chengzong knew that he was Jin Yiwei, he made up his mind to persuade Yang Zhenzhong by himself not to hinder his plan to get rid of Nie, Lu, Zhao, and Du with the help of Japanese pirates.In exchange, he will find a way to kill the pirates again.It's just that Xu Chengzong didn't know that he had already betrayed Jin Yiwei, and he was just using his identity as Jin Yiwei to deal with Mrs. Nie and Xu Chengzong.Although he had promised Yingyang to join forces with Jin Yiwei to deal with the Japanese pirates, he never thought that Zhang Hao was the Japanese pirate's undercover agent, and his contact with Jin Yiwei had been severed.At this time, even if he wanted to ask Jin Yiwei for help, he couldn't find it.

Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng thought to himself, Xu Chengzong wanted revenge wholeheartedly, so he did not hesitate to collude with Japanese pirates for this.Right now the Japanese pirates are about to attack, if they kill Xu Chengzong, they will have to stop the Japanese pirates temporarily, but they will definitely have bigger plans.Either it will make the Japanese pirates jump over the wall in a hurry, and act even more without scruples.When things have come to this point, it is better to let Xu Chengzong let go and conspire with the Japanese pirates, and when they are about to launch a conspiracy, he will take action against the Japanese pirates himself.Fortunately, the Japanese pirates will not go to war in Xiuwu County on the day of the Lantern Festival, and the people will not shed blood.I first have to think of a way to inform the people to avoid it, so as not to be hurt by the Japanese pirates.

When he was thinking about it, he heard Xu Chengzong say: "Lord Li, in a few hours, the Japanese pirates will attack. The matter has reached a critical juncture, so you are not allowed to think about it. As long as Master Li does not collude with the Nie family , Xu pledges his life, and will never allow Japanese pirates to kill or injure civilians."

Li Qiufeng had already made up his mind at this time, sneered, and said: "Master Xu is worthy of being a yamen master for more than 20 years, and he really has no plans. At this point, Li can only do what Master Xu wants. I hope Master Xu will not forget that he is a Han Chinese, and stop doing evil things like helping the evildoers and killing the common people."

Seeing that Li Qiufeng finally agreed, Xu Chengzong put his hanging heart back into his stomach.He said to Li Qiufeng: "Master Li is indeed a sensible person. Please rest assured, Mr. Li, we are only seeking revenge from the four families of Nie, Lu, Zhao, and Du, and we will definitely not harm the people in the city. Mr. Xu came to Xiuwu County Before, I warned the old man. Xu and his enemies are just the four families of Fengmen Village, and have nothing to do with the people. If they kill or injure the people, they will definitely alarm the court. When the court army comes to suppress, no one can afford the consequences. The old man I also agreed to Xu, but I just want to settle the score with the Nie family and get back the money. If the killing is too heavy and the place shakes, they will not be in a good place."

Listening to Xu Chengzong's words, Li Qiufeng thought to himself, you are too naive.Liu Sheng Zongyan and the Japanese pirates wanted to capture Fengmen Village and planted a surprise army in the hinterland of the Central Plains. How could it be so simple to get back the money?Although you are cunning, compared with Liu Sheng Zongyan, how can you be the opponent of this old fox?You go to deal with him first, I am happy to hide behind you, and wait for the opportunity to get rid of Liu Shengzongyan.This old guy was seriously injured in the imperial mausoleum, and I'm afraid his injuries have not healed.At that time, I will join forces with Mr. Liu, Head Chu, Head Xu and others, and I don't believe that we can't kill this old fox. "

Li Qiufeng made up his mind, and immediately said: "I don't know what arrangements Mr. Xu has, so let's hear it."

Xu Chengzong said: "After Mr. Li returned to the city, he immediately moved out of the City God's Temple, so that when we attacked and killed the four families of Nie, Lu, Zhao, and Du, we would not injure Mr. Li in the melee. As long as the four families give the head, Xu will deal with the Japanese pirates. Tell them not to get out of Xiuwu County. Lord Li can report this matter to Lord Yang, and ask him to lead the Jin Yiwei to hide near the Town God's Temple. After the Japanese pirates fall into the trap and cause heavy casualties, Lord Yang can lead the Jin Yiwei out to clean up Endgame. The credit for this is naturally none other than Master Yang and Master Li."

Li Qiufeng said: "Master Xu is thoughtful, I admire you. But you have spent so much effort and endured humiliation, is it just to get rid of Nie, Lu, Zhao, and Du, and you don't want to get any benefits?"

Xu Chengzong said solemnly: "My Xu family and the five families of Fengmen Village have a deep hatred. It is Xu's greatest wish to get rid of these five families." When he said this, he paused and looked at Li Qiufeng With a glance, he continued: "What's more, Xu is walking on thin ice between the four families of Nie, Lu, Zhao, and Du and the Japanese pirates. The old man of the Nie family and the leader of the Japanese pirates are very shrewd people. Maybe the matter has not been done. Xu If he died at the hands of these two groups of people, what good would he think? Xu only wanted revenge, and he put his life and death aside. He never thought about what would happen after the matter is accomplished. If this can be done, and Xu survives by luck, then I will find an inaccessible place to live in seclusion, and end my life here. If he died in the hands of the four families of Fengmen Village or Japanese pirates, the blood of the Xu family will be cut off, and Xu will have no regrets. Therefore, Mr. Li, don't doubt Xu's move It’s for fame and wealth, don’t worry about it.”

Li Qiufeng nodded, and said: "Since Mr. Xu has lost his mind, Mr. Li will temporarily follow the power. But Mr. Li still has something to ask. I wonder if Mr. Xu can tell the truth?"

Xu Chengzong said: "Your Majesty Li has something to say, just say it. If Xu knows, he will naturally tell you."

Li Qiufeng said: "When we rushed to Xiuwu County together from Luoyang, we were intercepted and killed by Japanese pirates on the way. But when Li returned to Xiuwu County from Yuntai Mountain, the Japanese pirates disappeared mysteriously and were never seen again. All kinds of incidents in Xiuwu County are closely related to the Japanese pirates. According to Mr. Xu, the Japanese pirates have come to the west this time, and the number is naturally quite large. It is extremely difficult for so many people to hide their tracks. A few days ago, Ji Dingzhong planned to defeat the evil gang that was bought by the Japanese pirates, and the Japanese pirates lost a hand, but still did not show up. Therefore, Li wants to ask Mr. Xu, where are the Japanese pirates hiding?"

Xu Chengzong shook his head and said: "To be honest, this is what Xu is most puzzled about. Ever since Xu arrived in Xiuwu County, that mysterious old man has never appeared again. The people sent to contact Xu always Every time is different, there are old and young, men and women. They appear unexpectedly, and then disappear mysteriously, all of them are extremely powerful in martial arts. Xu also wants to know where the Japanese pirates are hiding, but Those people didn't reveal anything, and every time they just told Xu to do something, then turned around and left."

Li Qiufeng said: "Master Xu doesn't even know how many Japanese pirates have come and where they are hiding, so how can he deal with them?"

Xu Chengzong said: "Master Li, don't worry. This matter is like a hunter hunting. No matter how many wild beasts come, you just need to dig the traps, bend your bow and set arrows, and wait for the wild beasts to come."

Li Qiufeng saw that Xu Chengzong looked confident, although he was worried that he would be too arrogant, but he just thought about it carefully, even if he asked him, he might not be able to elaborate.The situation is urgent now, and we cannot delay here for too long.So he nodded and said: "I only hope that God will bless you, and Mr. Xu's plan will come to fruition."

Xu Chengzong said: "After Master Li goes back, it is best not to go back to the Temple of the City God, find a hidden place to settle down first, and wait for our good news."
