A knife in love

Chapter 997

Li Qiufeng said: "Ms. Li went out of the city to temporarily avoid the eyes and ears of the Nie family. Because he came out in a hurry, and there were still some belongings that had to be retrieved, so we still have to go back and have a look at the Town God's Temple."

Xu Chengzong said: "It's the second watch now, and it's only two or three hours before dawn. Mr. Li wants to go back to the Temple of the City God, so he can sleep for a while. But after dawn, he must leave the Temple of the City God as soon as possible, lest we attack and kill Nie, Lu, and others. It would be bad if Zhao and Du Zhi accidentally injured Master Li."

Li Qiufeng snorted, and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Xu, Mr. Li went back to get the things. If there is nothing else, he will naturally leave the Town God's Temple as soon as possible. Besides, Mr. Li is also in a hurry to see Mr. Yang to discuss the matter. Report in detail and wait for his old man to make up his mind."

Xu Chengzong said: "It's the best. Xu will leave first, Mr. Li be careful in everything."

After he finished speaking, he cupped his hands at Li Qiufeng, turned around and walked north.After walking a few steps, he stopped again, turned around and said to Li Qiufeng: "It's very strange today, a group of people have been staring at Xu. At the beginning, Xu didn't know where these people came from, so he didn't expose this. Later, when Xu went to the Town God's Temple to meet Master Li, this group followed Xu closely. When Xu arrived in front of the Town God's Temple, he found that people from Nie's family were guarding the gate, and Xu could not enter the temple. I had no choice but to wander outside the Town God's Temple. Later, I found an empty alley, and knocked the three people who followed me to the ground. Xu saw that the faces of these three people seemed familiar, and he seemed to have seen them several times, but he couldn't name them. If Xu's guess is correct, these three people should be sent by Mr. Li to monitor Xu?"

Hearing what Xu Chengzong said, Li Qiufeng thought to himself, Mei Dali and his group of apprentices are still working hard, but these people's martial arts are too low, so they are naturally not Xu Chengzong's opponents. It is nothing to be teased and captured by him. Strange thing.Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng nodded and said, "That's right. These people are all Mei Dali's apprentices. Li wants them to keep an eye on Mr. Xu and see how you contact the pirates."

Xu Chengzong sighed, and said: "Xu thought he could sell his tricks, but he was caught by Mr. Li." He glanced at Li Qiufeng, and then said: "I hit those three guys. At that time, only five successes were used, and after six hours, the acupoints will be untied naturally, harmless to the three of them, so don't worry, Lord Li."

Li Qiufeng nodded, and said: "Thank you Master Xu for your mercy. Master Xu is really brave enough to go to the temple to find Li when he knows that the Temple of the City God is full of leaders from the four families of Nie, Lu, Zhao and Du. "

Xu Chengzong said: "These people think that the Xu family has been destroyed, and they are all full of ambitions, and they are much less defensive. Xu is hiding very deeply. They don't know Xu's identity, but it is normal. Master Li Today's identity has been exposed. Xu, as the county magistrate of Xiuwu County, went to visit Lord Jinyiwei Baihu, and those of the Nie family would not have any suspicions. It's just that Nie Dingnan, who was guarding the temple gate, was not weak in martial arts, and he was insidious. That's why Xu didn't break in. Later, after Xu knocked those three people down, he thought about going to Mr. Li after all the hawkers in front of the temple had left. Just when I was going to the Town God's Temple, I saw Li Your Excellency came out. I was afraid that the Nie family would send people to follow Mr. Li, so I didn't go up to talk to Mr. Li immediately, but stood in front of a sesame seed stall by the side of the road, with my back facing the street. After Mr. Li walked over, I followed Mr. Li In the back. But I know that Master Li is very powerful in martial arts, so I didn't dare to get too close, so I had to follow him from a distance, one in front and one behind, until we came here."

Li Qiufeng thought that Xu Chengzong said it easily, but he naturally knew that everyone in the Nie family was cunning, but the matter had reached a critical juncture, and he suddenly revealed his identity as Jin Yiwei.Xu Chengzong and the Japanese pirates are about to besiege the Chenghuang Temple, but the appearance of Jinyiwei in the temple is a great threat to the plan of Xu Chengzong and the Japanese pirates.Therefore, regardless of the danger, he rushed to the Town God's Temple overnight to convince himself.It can be seen that Xu Chengzong is determined to win, and he must get rid of the four families of Nie, Lu, Zhao, and Du and then hurry up.I originally thought that it would be enough to deal with the four families of Fengmen Village and the Japanese pirates, but I didn't expect Xu Chengzong to become another force. I have to deal with these three groups, and there is not much time left. Whether it is right or wrong, I am afraid that I will lose [-]% of the time. Not sure.

Xu Chengzong exchanged some polite words with Li Qiufeng, and then left first.Li Qiufeng waited for him to walk away, then slowly walked towards Xiuwu County.When he returned to the Temple of the City God, it was already three o'clock.Li Qiufeng thought that if he walked back to the wing, there might be people staring at him in every room in the backyard.Therefore, if he leaves at this time, Mrs. Nie will immediately suspect that he has other plans.Fortunately, it was not long before dawn, so there was no need to rush to leave.So Li Qiufeng changed into clean clothes, lay down on the bed with all his clothes on, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Li Qiufeng had something on his mind, so he didn't sleep well.In just one or two hours, he woke up from the dream several times.When he woke up for the last time, it was still pitch black outside the window.Li Qiufeng walked around the room for a few times, then went to the door and peeked out from the crack.I saw that although the courtyard was still pitch-black, the sky had turned slightly pale.Li Qiufeng thought for a moment, wrapped the money under the pillow and put it in his arms, then opened the door and walked straight to the front yard.

He knew that although the houses in the backyard were quiet, Mrs. Nie must have arranged for night watchmen.As long as you push the door and walk out, you will be noticed immediately.Instead of being timid, it is better to go out in a dignified manner.

Li Qiufeng walked through the corner door and walked to the front yard.However, most of the hundreds of lanterns in the courtyard have been extinguished, but there are still a few lanterns emitting a faint light, which looks quite weird under the slightly bright sky.

When Li Qiufeng walked to the gate, he suddenly remembered Miao Zhu and moved to the main hall to rest.He thought to himself, Xu Chengzong said that before noon, the Japanese pirates would attack aggressively.Miao Zhu and the old servant don't know martial arts, if they fought together in the Temple of the City God, they would have to die tragically under the sword of Japanese pirates.Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng turned around again and strode towards the main hall.At this moment, the sky in the east has turned slightly pale, Li Qiufeng knew that it was getting late, so he had to hurry up.Therefore, when he reached the front of the main hall, he did not knock on the door, but stretched out his hand to push the door.But the door of the temple was already locked, and Li Qiufeng pushed hard, only to hear a muffled "click", and the two doors moved inward, but they did not open.

Li Qiufeng was startled, just when he was thinking of calling Miao Zhu to open the door.I only heard Miao Zhu trembling in the hall and said: "Yes, who is it..."

Li Qiufeng said in a deep voice, "It's me."

After a while, there was only a "squeak", and the door of the palace was pulled open.I saw Miao Zhu wearing a robe, holding a candle in his hand, standing in the house tremblingly.The old servant shrank behind Miao Zhu, looking at Li Qiufeng in horror.

Li Qiufeng saw that the two were like frightened birds, and knew that they were afraid, so he hurriedly said: "You two don't need to panic, I'm not a villain."

Miao Zhu met Li Qiufeng who was standing in front of him. He breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly let Li Qiufeng into the hall, saying: "The uncle woke up so early, the villain is so damned, he overslept and didn't go to the old man. Prepare breakfast."

Li Qiufeng has lived in the Temple of the City God for more than a month, but he has never entered the main hall to take a closer look.I saw the statue of the City God Empress standing in the middle of the main hall, more than two feet high.The altar in front of the statue is full of offerings, and two tall candlesticks are placed at both ends of the altar.Li Qiufeng heard Xu Chengzong say that the statue was sculpted according to Mrs. Huarui's appearance, so he couldn't help but look up carefully.I saw the Fengguanxiapei of the Empress of the City God, her face was like a full moon, and her expression was serene.It's just that there was a hint of pity in his eyes, and he looked straight out of the hall.

Li Qiufeng stared at the statue for a moment, then looked around the altar.But he saw five or six futons placed on each side, and two quilts were randomly piled on the futons.After Xianglai Miaozhu and the old servant moved to the main hall, they slept on the futon at night.He saw that Miao Zhu and the old servant had panicked expressions on their faces, and he thought that if these two people knew that the Japanese pirates would attack the Chenghuang Temple at any time after dawn, they would be scared to death on the spot.Therefore, Li Qiufeng coughed and said to Miao Zhu: "Brother, there is one thing I must tell you. Before the sun is bright, you two must leave the Temple of the City God and hide as far away as possible. This matter is very important. I believe Believe it or not, it's all between the two of you."
