A knife in love

Chapter 1290

Li Qiufeng pondered for a moment, and then said to Zhang Yong: "Mr. Zhang was in charge of Dongchang in the past, and he held power in his hands, and his power shocked the world. Whether it is temples or rivers and lakes, Mr. Zhang is a well-known figure. The younger generation admires Zhang. The old man is loyal to the owner, so there is no need to hide some things from you. The Liu Zongyan that old man Zhang met is a counterfeit at all. He is not from Zhongtu, but from Fusang, and he is determined to seize the Great Ming Dynasty."

Zhang Yong's expression changed, as if he couldn't believe Li Qiufeng's words.Li Qiufeng went on to say: "Senior Liu Zongyan suffered a great tragedy in the past, and he was saddened to abandon the world, so he left Fusang and lived in seclusion in a small mountain village. By chance, he rescued a group of Fusang villagers. In order to prevent these villagers from being bullied by the wicked again, he taught them martial arts for self-defense. But he did not expect that these Fusang people had vicious thoughts and wanted to learn all his martial arts. Only Senior Liu Living together with the Fusang people, they already realized that the Fusang people had bad intentions, so they did not teach them all the martial arts. In order to force Senior Liu to hand over the martial arts secrets, the leader of the Fusang people secretly poisoned him, intending to force Senior Liu to use it. Martial arts secrets are exchanged for antidote.

"After Senior Liu was poisoned, he ran away from the village desperately, and finally hid in a cave on the top of Daxue Mountain. Although his martial arts skills are superb, it is a pity that the poisoning was too deep, and he still could not escape death in the end. Fortunately, he escaped in time. The Fusang people did not take away his martial arts secrets. The Fusang people who killed Senior Liu simply persisted, pretending to be Senior Liu, leading the Fusang warriors to sneak into the Central Plains, spying on the Ming Dynasty, and trying to seize the world.

"More than ten years ago, the big bosses of the imperial court and the Xingxian Palace joined forces to seize the throne, and they used this Fusang expert who pretended to be Senior Liu to suddenly launch an attack in Nanjing. This person named himself Liu Sheng Zongyan, and he was an extremely difficult to deal with. Martial arts master. Over the years, he has been secretly plotting, trying to make a comeback. The younger generation has indeed fought against him several times near the capital, and each time he is not his opponent. Fortunately, the seniors of Huashan, Kunlun, Qingcheng, Emei and other schools have helped Only this junior can escape by chance. To defeat this person, with the junior's martial arts, it is absolutely impossible. Later, near the imperial mausoleum, the junior joined forces with Brother Murong Danqing, and this severely injured Liu Shengzongyan. It was Brother Murong Danqing's ability to beat him to the ground and flee. The junior's contribution is so small that it is not worth mentioning. As for the background of the junior's teacher, there is nothing unusual about it. The teacher of the family is just a hermit. I have never had any contact with him before, please forgive me for not daring to mention his old man's name."

Zhang Yong never thought that the Liu Zongyan he was fighting with turned out to be a fake, and he was also a Fusang warrior, even though he was extremely skilled in martial arts and once held a high position, he was shocked at this time.He sat there for a while, then sighed, and said: "When I was the governor of Dongchang, I thought that my ears and eyes were all over the world, but in the end, several bigwigs in the court colluded with the Xingxian Palace, and wanted to attack the emperor. I don’t even know about any unfavorable plots, and I was even attacked by this Fusang old ghost in Nanjing, causing the emperor to be almost assassinated. This old man’s crime cannot be redeemed by ten thousand deaths. Alas.”

Li Qiufeng heard Zhang Yong's long sigh, saw his gloomy expression, and was extremely depressed, so he could only comfort him and said: "Mr. Zhang, you don't need to regret. In the past, the big bosses of the court were at odds with the late emperor, and they have been plotting for many years. But the whole court, Both inside and outside the palace have been bought by the Xingxian Palace. Although Mr. Zhang is alert, it is extremely difficult to win against so many powerful people. What's more, although the first emperor lost his throne, he is now at ease. I am even happier now. Why does Mr. Zhang have to worry about this matter? The late emperor has already put it down, so Mr. Zhang should also let it go."

Zhang Yong's complexion changed, he glanced at Li Qiufeng, and said with a smile: "Although young master is young, his knowledge is extraordinary. These few words are quite Zen-like, and the old man has been taught. Young master is right, my master has put it down. I should let it go too."

The two chatted for a while, Zhang Yong smiled and said, "Why didn't you ask where we are going?"

Li Qiufeng said: "Mr. Shou and Mr. Zhang want to find a suitable place to live in seclusion. Wouldn't it be too rude for the younger generation to ask rashly? Although the current emperor has no intention of killing Shoulao, his officials may not I have the same thoughts as him. It is the place where Shou Lao and Mr. Zhang live in seclusion, and the fewer people who know about it, the better."

Zhang Yong nodded, his eyes showing approval.

At this moment, they suddenly heard the sound of footsteps, and the two of them stopped talking.After a while, several people came in from the gate, the leader was Xiao Dong, followed by Master Pan and several police officers.Seeing that Xiao Dong had arrived, Li Qiufeng stood up hastily, bowed and said, "Mr. Xiao has worked hard."

Xiao Dong waved his hand at him, and without stopping, he walked towards the main hall and said, "Where did Zhang Yuanwai and Lao Hu go?"

Li Qiufeng bowed his hands to Zhang Yong, said he was offended, then walked quickly to Xiao Dong's side, and said in his mouth: "Zhang Yuanwai and shopkeeper Hu are both in the inn, waiting for your lord."

Xiao Dong said: "Who is that old man?"

Li Qiufeng said: "This person is from the capital. I met him when I went down to the capital to sell Shu brocade, and unexpectedly I met him here again. It is really a fate."

Xiao Dong smiled and said: "Brother Zhu, you have traveled far and wide, and you really have a lot of acquaintances. After arriving in Dongliao County, you have already met several old friends. By the way, that Miss Mu didn't come to see you?"

Hearing his calm tone, Li Qiufeng didn't seem to have any malicious intentions, so he felt relieved, and said: "I have to travel around with my father in order to earn a living. It's useless. Miss Mu didn't know that we had moved to live in Dongsheng Inn, so naturally she wouldn't come here to find me."

When the two were talking, they had already arrived at the entrance of the lobby.Xiao Dong said: "Brother Zhu, it's better to tell Miss Mu, otherwise, if she goes to the pier to look for you, wouldn't it be a waste of time?"

Li Qiufeng nodded and said: "Your Excellency is right. If you are free today, I will go to Wangjiazhuang again."

At this time, Xiao Dong had already walked up the steps of the lobby, so he stopped talking to Li Qiufeng.It's just that before entering the lobby, only the noise of people, mixed with shouting and cursing, can be heard.Xiao Dong heard the voices of shopkeepers Hu and Ji, and was startled, thinking that something happened, so he couldn't help but quicken his pace.When he walked into the lobby, he saw 30 to [-] people gathered together, stretching their necks one by one, as if they were watching something interesting.Shopkeeper Ji's voice came from the crowd, scolding Shopkeeper Hu.

Xiao Dong didn't know what happened, but it was not a good thing that so many people gathered together.Therefore, his face darkened, and he strode forward, with his hands stretched out, between the two in front of him.Seeing Xiao Dong exert a little force, the two of them immediately fell to the sides.Xiao Dong kept on stepping, acting in accordance with the law, forcing a way out.After a while, he broke into the crowd.I saw a table in front of me, and several people were sitting at the table.Shopkeeper Ji and Shopkeeper Hu were scolding each other across the table.

Xiao Dong walked to the table and shouted sharply: "Old Hu, Lao Ji, what the hell are you doing?!"

Shopkeeper Hu and Shopkeeper Ji are scolding themselves inextricably, and neither can gain the upper hand.Hearing Xiao Dong's words, the two men's hearts froze, and they stopped yelling.It's just that he was still dissatisfied in his heart, and stared at the other party with wide eyes.

It turned out that shopkeeper Hu saw Shou Nanshan's superb gambling skills, and was terrified, so he didn't dare to bet for a while.Shopkeeper Ji lost the money as soon as he made a move, and he was extremely annoyed in his heart.Shopkeeper Luo and the others blamed him for the loss, complaining and ridiculing all the time, which made him even more angry.Since then, shopkeeper Hu has not placed a bet, and shopkeeper Ji taunted him sarcastically.Shopkeeper Hu was very upset when Shou Nanshan got the upper hand.Hearing Shopkeeper Ji's sarcasm, he naturally retorted.The more the two quarreled, the more intense they were, and finally they rolled up their sleeves and wanted to fight.If it wasn't for shopkeeper Luo and others to persuade them, I'm afraid the two of them would have gotten into a ball.

Xiao Dong didn't know why Hu and Ji were arguing, but when he saw the Pai Gow on the table, he guessed it pretty well.He sneered, and said in his mouth: "The two of you are really in a good mood! You are still in the mood to gamble here. This kind of peace of mind is really rare in the world."

Shopkeepers Hu and Ji heard that Xiao Dong's tone was not friendly, and hurriedly bowed and said: "Mr. Xiao punished him. It was a mistake."

Xiao Dong let out a "hum", glared at the two of them fiercely, turned around and walked upstairs.
