A knife in love

Chapter 1404

Qi Jiu had never fought against the killers of the Liusheng clan, and Li Qiufeng told him to deal with the killers of the Liusheng clan so seriously and not to be careless, although he agreed with his mouth, he didn't take it seriously in his heart.Li Qiufeng heard that Qi Jiu was contemptuous of the killers of the Liusheng clan, and was about to say more, but he heard Qi Jiu say: "Brother Li, we are secretly tracking down the traces of the Japanese pirates, I am afraid that these villains will not be idle. Today The younger brother reminded you to leave as soon as possible on Motianling, because I was worried that the spy of Japanese pirates would be mixed with the peasants on the mountain. I have been hiding in Majiazhuang and Paigang for two or three months, but I have not found any suspicious people. But these people Although they were born in poverty, they were all greedy for wine and lust, and they were not good people. Black and white impermanence killed several people that night. Although the deceased were not guilty of death, they did a lot of evil on weekdays, and it can be said that they have to blame themselves. In addition to the crowd, Zhuang Ding and the owner of Wangjiazhuang invited peasants and masons from other places. Whether these people have the minions of the Japanese pirates, we cannot determine. However, the construction of the temple was originally a conspiracy of the Japanese pirates , How could they not send someone to watch?"

Li Qiufeng nodded, and said in his mouth: "Brother Qi is among these people, it is like entering a dragon's pond and a tiger's lair. You must be careful in everything. I still say that if you reveal your identity, you must not fight head-on with the pirates. Avoid them first." Sharpen your sharpness, and then counterattack. These days I stay in the palace, if Brother Qi finds anything, you can go to me."

Qi Jiu nodded, and said in his mouth: "You and I alone are not enough to deal with the Japanese pirates. I want to ask Brother Li to write two letters with Jin Yiwei's Guanfang, and submit them to the governor of Liaodong and the general soldier of Liaodong respectively. Send tolerance arresters and officers and soldiers to Dongliao County to deal with the Japanese pirates who are about to move."

Li Qiufeng was stunned, thinking to himself that he had already betrayed Jinyiwei, although he wore the badge of Jinyiwei, how could he have the defense of Jinyiwei?Listening to Qi Jiu's words at this moment is not to test himself.It's just that Li Qiufeng also knows that the two of them are alone and weak. Although they are not afraid of the Japanese pirates when they fight alone, but if the Japanese pirates attack on a large scale, even if they fight desperately, they are not opponents of the Japanese pirates.In desperation, Li Qiufeng had no choice but to sigh, and said in his mouth: "Brother Qi doesn't know something, but this time I am following the secret order of Mr. Fusi Town Fushi of Nanzhen to handle a very secret case. In order not to Leaking your identity, you don’t have any security on your body.”

Qi Jiu was quite disappointed when he heard what Li Qiufeng said.He was silent for a while, and then he said: "The magistrate of Dongliao County is unreliable, and the officers and soldiers of the guards around the county will not listen to us. Besides, after I arrived in Dongliao County, I heard that there are people seventy miles away in the east of the city. There are only a few hundred old, weak and disabled soldiers in the guard. The officers who lead the soldiers will only make false claims and pay for nothing. Let alone fight the Japanese pirates, I am afraid that they will flee as soon as they hear the word Japanese pirates. If there is no help from the brigade, we will even find it Japanese pirates, there is nothing they can do about it.”

Li Qiufeng thought to himself, he only wanted to find the pirates, why didn't he think of what to do after finding the pirates?Although I have defeated Liusheng Zongyan's conspiracy many times before, it is because although the Liusheng clan is large and powerful, I have a lot of helpers on my side.In the underground of the imperial mausoleum, the Huashan faction and other martial arts righteousness have always stood side by side with him to defend against the enemy.When we arrived at Yong'an City and Hutouyan Shajiabao, in addition to the various sects helping him, Jin Yiwei also secretly dealt with Liu Shengzongyan.Not to mention that in the final duel between himself and Liu Sheng Zongyan, Murong Danqing joined forces with him to attack Liu Sheng Zongyan, which severely injured him.Without Murong Danqing's help, not only Murong Danyan would have died under the killer sword of Liu Sheng's clan, but even he himself would have difficulty escaping from Liu Sheng Zongyan's poisonous hands.Later in Xiuwu County, Jin Yiwei even set up a net of heaven and earth, using himself as a bait, and finally defeated Liu Shengzongyan and the Japanese pirates and fled.With all kinds of troubles like this, if you only rely on yourself, you may not be able to move an inch.I hadn't thought about this matter before, and I was quite proud, thinking that I could save the day with my own ability.From this point of view, although Qi Jiu is a few years younger than himself, he is far-sighted and wiser than himself when doing things.

Seeing that Li Qiufeng had remained silent for a while, Qi Jiu didn't know what his plan was, and continued, "When my younger brother set off from Dengzhou, Commander Lu once said that if the Japanese pirate brigade was found in Liaodong, it would only be possible to rely on the Liaodong governor's yamen. If you can't cope with the general army of Liaodong, you might as well send troops from Dengzhou Guards to land in Liaodong across the sea, and then defeat the Japanese pirates first. However, sending troops to Liaodong without the permission of the imperial court and the Ministry of War's deployment of troops for investigation and cooperation will take great risks. Do not act without authorization. At present, there are only a few thousand soldiers capable of fighting in Liaodong. If the Japanese invade in a large scale, first occupy Dongliao County, and then capture the entire territory of Liaodong. My younger brother wants to go back to Dengzhou first, and report to Commander Lu, who will send troops across the sea to land in Dongliao County, and destroy the Japanese pirates first."

After hearing Qi Jiu's words, Li Qiufeng was stunned, and said, "Dengzhou is far away from the sea, Brother Qi will go back and forth, it will take at least ten days and a half months, how can we make it in time?"

Qi Jiu let out a "huh" and said, "Although Dengzhou and Dongliao County are separated by a piece of sea, the distance is not too far. If there is no wind and waves on the sea, you can travel from Dengzhou to Dongliao County in one day and one night. "

Although Li Qiufeng's martial arts are not weak, he doesn't know much about the geographical situation.He always thought that since Liaodong and Shandong are separated by a sea, the distance is naturally extremely far.At this time, Qi Jiu said that he could travel from Dengzhou to Liaodong by boat in one day and one night, which was beyond his expectation, and he couldn't help but said, "Brother Qi, this matter is not a joke. If the military plane is delayed, don't Know how many people will be killed."

Qi Jiu thought to himself, this master of Jinyiwei Baihu has high martial arts skills and extraordinary knowledge.Since he is such a remarkable person, he must be proficient in astronomy and geography.But listening to him, he seems to be completely ignorant of the geographical situation of Shandong and Liaodong, which is strange.It's just that even though he had this thought in his heart, he couldn't ask Li Qiufeng any more questions, so he coughed and said: "My younger brother often reads maps and charts in the army, so naturally he wouldn't mistake the sea route distance from Shandong to Liaodong. And the younger brother has come to the coast of Liaodong several times in the past few years on a large navy ship, as long as there is no big storm on the sea, he will definitely be able to arrive in a day and a night."

Li Qiufeng was quite embarrassed, and at the same time admired Qi Jiu more and more. He thought to himself that although he had been working in Jinyiwei for five years, in his spare time, apart from practicing martial arts, he was reading documents in Jinyiwei's archives. Sometimes I go to the Gaoliang River to drink tea and listen to books.As for military books and strategies, and even sea charts and maps, I have never read them.At this moment, Li Qiufeng was ashamed to hear Qi Jiu's words with certainty, thinking that this brother Qi is so young, but he can read military books, is proficient in strategy, and knows the geographical situation by heart.Only such characters are the backer and backbone of the Ming Dynasty.
