A knife in love

Chapter 1525

Although the two of them were full of doubts, but the matter had reached a critical moment, so they had to put aside the matter of the tomb for the time being, and climbed cautiously to the top of the mountain.

When Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan looked at it from a distance, they thought Laoweng Mountain was a small hill, but it was surrounded by flat ground, which made it look quite tall.It's just that when I climbed the hillside, I realized that even a small hill is a giant for the two of them.Therefore, the more the two climbed to the top of the mountain, the more terrified they became, wondering what kind of person it was that actually built a large tomb of this size here!

According to Li Qiufeng's thinking, Old Man Mountain is the highest place where Liu Sheng's family hides. It overlooks the various places below the mountain, and its geographical advantage is extremely important.Therefore, there must be guards from the Liusheng clan everywhere on the mountain, guarding this place extremely tightly.When Li Qiufeng made up his mind to climb to the top of Old Man Mountain, he had already prepared for the worst in his heart.If the guards on the mountain were alarmed, they had to be the first to kill with a knife.When he and Murong Danyan climbed to the top of the mountain, they were extremely careful, not daring to make the slightest sound, for fear of being noticed by the enemy.But what he never expected was that when the two climbed to the top of the mountain, not a single pirate appeared.

Murong Danyan knelt on the ground with one knee, there was no one around, as far as he could see, there was only darkness.Surprised, she turned her head and whispered to Li Qiufeng: "How is this possible? Could it be that the Japanese pirates are so arrogant that they don't even send someone to guard such an important place?"

Li Qiufeng was also suspicious, so after hearing what Murong Danyan said, he just shook his head, smiled wryly, and said: "No matter how arrogant Liu Sheng Zongyan is, he can't be so arrogant. But there is really no Guard, what is the reason, I have no idea."

The two crouched on the top of the mountain and looked around, suspicious clouds arose in their hearts.Li Qiufeng submerged his internal energy and listened attentively, even if a master like Liu Shengzongyan was watching, he absolutely couldn't help but make the slightest sound.But no matter how carefully Li Qiufeng listened to the movement around him, he couldn't hear any strange sounds at all.In the end, he could only shake his head, and said to Murong Danyan: "It seems that there is really no one here!"

It was completely dark at this time.The rain has stopped, and there is a breeze on the top of the mountain, and it is very refreshing to breathe.Although Li Qiufeng didn't know why Liu Sheng Zongyan didn't set up guards at such an important place, it was just that the situation was critical and there was no further delay.So he thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "There are indeed no Japanese pirates here. No matter what Liu Sheng Zongyan's plans are, let's ignore him for now. Checking the place where Liu Sheng's family lives is a serious matter."

The two walked eastward cautiously.The top of the mountain is a large flat land with a radius of about thirty feet.In a short while, the two had reached the end of Dongshou.But looking to the east of Old Man Shan, it turned out to be pitch black, with no houses or roads to be seen at all.

Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan were greatly disappointed, looked at each other in the dark, and shook their heads at the same time.Murong Danyan said: "When we were at the bottom of the mountain, we saw many houses in the east, but when we climbed to the top of the mountain, there were no lights at the bottom of the mountain, so we couldn't see anything. These Fusang people are acting strangely, leaving such important things behind. Not sending expert guards, the arrogance to the extreme. However, no lights are allowed in the house, so it can be said to be extremely cautious. Can't guess, really can't guess."

Li Qiufeng was about to speak when he suddenly heard a "woo" from behind him.Li Qiufeng was startled, turned around hastily, and drew out the long knife with his right hand.It's just that there is darkness behind him, and no one can be seen at all.

Murong Danyan was also taken aback, and pulled out the long sword with his backhand, crouched on the ground, but it was like a bow that was stretched tight, ready to be thrown out at any time.I just listened carefully, but there was no strange sound around me.Murong Danyan lowered his voice and said to Li Qiufeng: "Brother Li, did the enemy attack?"

Li Qiufeng said: "It was clearly the sound of horns in the military camp just now. But in Liusheng Zongyan's lair, how could there be horns sounding?"

Murong Danyan was stunned, and said: "Could it be that the officers and soldiers discovered Liu Shengzongyan's plot and sent troops to encircle and suppress it?"

Li Qiufeng was also in doubt.But if it is said that the officers and soldiers killed Liu Sheng Zongyan's old lair, he couldn't believe it no matter what.Although Xiao Dong wrote a letter to the Governor of Liaodong and the General Soldier of Liaodong a few days ago, there was no mention of Japanese pirates in Dongliao County in the letter.In the eyes of Li Zhisheng, the magistrate of Dongliao County, Xiao Dong is a big man, but the governor of Liaodong and the Liaodong general will probably not take him seriously, and will never send troops to kill Dongliao just based on such a letter. county.

While Li Qiufeng was thinking, the horn sounded again in the distance.Immediately afterwards, the two faintly saw a faint flame appearing in front of them, as if a fire had ignited at the foot of the mountain on the west side of Old Man Mountain.Murong Danyan looked at it for a while, then turned his head and said to Li Qiufeng: "The sound of the horn and the light of the fire appeared in the open space on the west side of Old Man Mountain. Could it be that someone broke into the Fusang people's lair like us?"

Li Qiufeng said: "Let's go over and have a look. It's just that the situation is unclear at the moment, so we must be very careful. If you can't do it, then don't do it."

Murong Danyan nodded, and followed Li Qiufeng cautiously to the west.When the two were about to reach the end, they could already see the open space below the mountain.Just seeing the situation in the open space, Li Qiutong and Murong Danyan stopped at the same time, squatted down hastily, and then looked down the mountain.

I saw more than a dozen piles of fires ignited in the open space, illuminating the foot of the mountain brightly.There are countless torches shining outside the fire, from south to north, like a huge strange fish, about to swim forward.

After Li Qiufeng broke into the lair of the Liu Sheng clan, it was only at this moment that he crouched on the top of Laoweng Mountain, and with the help of the firelight in the open space, he finally had a clear view of the open space below the mountain.

It turned out that the old lair of the Liusheng family centered on Old Man Mountain, and it was a square and square place.On the west side of Old Man Mountain is a large open space, in the center of which there is a river about two feet wide, flowing from north to south, traversing the entire open space.The stone bridge that Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan saw earlier was built on this river.The dozens of piles of fire were stacked across the river, and the torches were all soldiers wearing black hats and black armor.They seemed to be standing in the open space in a disorganized manner, but at a glance, Li Qiufeng knew that there was a hidden mystery in the positions of these sergeants, and they even formed a fish scale formation.

Li Qiufeng lived in seclusion in the Shu Mountains with his master since he was a child.His master is not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also knows everything in literature and martial arts, and is proficient in everything.There are many military books hidden in the two people's seclusion, sometimes when they have nothing to do, his master will explain the method of battle formation to Li Qiufeng.When talking about the fish-scale array that day, his master once said that the fish-scale array was created by Zheng Zhuanggong in the Spring and Autumn Period. Later, Chen Tang, a general of the Han Dynasty, used this array to defeat the Xiongnu in the Western Regions.At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when Zhuge Wuhou was training his troops, he changed the fish-scale formation to make the formation more powerful.
