A knife in love

Chapter 188

At this time, the group of heroes sleeping on the city also woke up, rushed to the edge of the city wall one after another, and looked down the city with their hands on the crenel.

Borrowing the torches of the defenders at the top of the city, I saw two people standing below the city, a man and a woman.The man was wearing a green robe, holding a sword in his left hand, and the woman was standing behind him, unable to see her face clearly.The guards on the city bent their bows and set arrows at the two men, ordering them not to move forward.

The man said in a loud voice: "I'm going to talk to Mr. Li Qiufeng and Mr. Liu Yong from the Huashan School. Please report to me on your behalf."

At this time, Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan had already arrived at the edge of the city wall. Hearing that the man said that he wanted to talk to him, he was slightly startled, and stared at him, trying to see the man's face clearly.It's just that the distance from the torches at the top of the city is limited, so they can't see clearly.

While he was thinking, Murong Danyan said to him in a low voice: "Brother Li, I listened to this man's voice and looked at the appearance of the two of them, it seems to be Xiao Laowu and Sister Ma..."

Li Qiufeng's heart trembled, and he shouted loudly: "Is it Xiao Shaoxia and Ma girl?"

The man smiled and said, "It's Xiao. Is it Brother Li?"

Li Qiufeng hurriedly turned his head and told the soldiers not to shoot arrows, and then said to Xiao Zhanpeng: "Brother Xiao, you and Miss Ma come down to the city."

Xiao Zhanpeng and Ma Dongqing walked to the bottom of the city and looked up at the city wall.Li Qiufeng held the crenel with his hands and saw clearly that it was Xiao Zhanpeng and Ma Dongqing, so he said loudly: "Brother Xiao, the two armies are facing each other now, and the city gate dare not open. The rope will be lowered from the top of the city in a while, and you take Miss Ma to grab the rope." , we will bring you to the city."

At this time, several soldiers had already brought a bundle of thick rope, and threw one end of the rope down the city.Xiao Zhanpeng carried Ma Dongqing behind his back, held the sword in his left hand, and pulled the rope with his right hand.All the soldiers were about to pull the rope, but they saw Xiao Zhanpeng holding the rope with his right hand, and his feet had already boarded the city wall.I saw his right hand constantly shifting to the upper end of the rope, and his feet stepped on the city wall like flat ground. He didn't wait for the soldiers to pull the rope, and "walked" up with Ma Dongqing on his back.When the distance to the top of the city was only more than ten feet high, Xiao Zhanpeng's feet were a little bit, and his body flew up lightly, landing on the top of the city.

The heroes in the city are all martial arts masters, seeing Xiao Zhanpeng showing off his lightness skills, they immediately cheered.Many people whispered among themselves, asking each other which sect masters they were.

Murong Danyan looked contemptuous, and said to Li Qiufeng in a low voice: "This is the fault of Xiao Laowu. He loves vanity and wants to show off."

Li Qiufeng shook his head with a smile and said, "Young Xia Xiao is handsome and unrestrained, with strong martial arts skills. He is a young talent in the world, but he doesn't want to show off."

Murong Danyan curled his lips, and was about to say more when Li Qiufeng went up to meet Xiao Zhanpeng himself, and said to Xiao Zhanpeng: "Brother Xiao, why are you and Miss Ma here?"

Xiao Zhanpeng put Ma Dongqing down from behind, Murong Danyan greeted him early, took Ma Dongqing's hand and walked aside, the two started talking quietly.

Xiao Zhanpeng said to Li Qiufeng: "After Xiao and Brother Li separated, they took the horse girl all the way to the south, but they met many soldiers on the way. When these soldiers saw me riding a military horse, they wielded their knives indiscriminately. I got guns to arrest the two of us, but I drove them away. It’s just that the further south we went, the more soldiers blocked the road. I didn’t feel right, so I finally caught two soldiers. Said they were soldiers from Shanhaiguan..."

At this time, the two had already walked under the archery tower, Li Qiufeng saw that there were still many people from the rivers and lakes around him, and then secretly winked at Xiao Zhanpeng, Xiao Zhanpeng was slightly startled, and then kept silent.Li Qiufeng led Xiao Zhanpeng to the wall of the urn city on the left side of the archery tower. Seeing that there was no one around, he whispered to Xiao Zhanpeng: "There are mixed people in the city. It is better not to let them know about some things. Brother Xiao, please continue."

Xiao Zhanpeng nodded, and continued: "The two soldiers said that they were soldiers from Shanhaiguan. They received an order to transfer troops from the imperial court, saying that it was Tartar soldiers who invaded the capital and asked them to enter the capital. After the army arrived here, go to Feng gave an order to set up a camp in the mountains and wait for the arrival of food and supplies before heading towards the capital. The commander of the army was very careful. After the camp was set up, he sent out scouts from afar to inquire about the news, and sent many soldiers Set up an ambush near the camp, and if someone approaches, they must be arrested first to prevent the news from leaking. In the past few days, hundreds of mountain people and businessmen passing by have been arrested. Because I saw that the horse girl and I were riding The army horse thought we were spies of the rebels, and wanted to capture us and send us to the camp to ask for credit.

"I drove these two soldiers away, but I didn't dare to go south again, so I turned eastward with Miss Ma and hid in a village. Miss Ma discussed with me tonight and said that we should ask Brother Li I informed Shanhaiguan that the soldiers and horses were coming in large numbers. So I took her back to Yong'an City. Because the horses were too eye-catching and far away from the rebel camp, I let the horses go and was thinking about how to get around the city. That's good. Unexpectedly, there was a sudden chaos in the big tent of the rebels, and many of the tents were empty, so Miss Ma and I took advantage of the chaos to pass through the camp and sneak to Yong'an City. I was just worried that the city would not know the enemy and us, and random arrows would shoot down. So I walked very carefully, and it took a lot of time."

Li Qiufeng knew that when Sang Liangtian's camp was in great chaos, it was the time when he fell out with Zhao Zhen and Liu Shengzongyan, which gave Xiao and Ma the opportunity to slip through the camp.At this time, he couldn't go into details, so he nodded and said, "The people in the city don't know much about the fact that the soldiers and horses in Shanhaiguan are hiding in Nanshan. Brother Xiao must not tell anyone about this, lest the morale of the army be shaken. , cross branches."

Xiao Zhanpeng said: "I understand this, brother Li, please rest assured."

At this time, by the light of the lantern hanging on the watchtower, Xiao Zhanpeng realized that Li Qiufeng's complexion was pale, and his words seemed to be out of breath, his heart trembled, and he said, "Could it be that Brother Li was injured?"

Li Qiufeng smiled wryly, and said: "Brother Xiao has good eyesight. I fought with Liu Sheng Zongyan, and he stabbed him in the shoulder. Fortunately, Mr. Liu applied the Huashan School's 'Resurrection Pill' on the wound, and now there is nothing left. Big problem."

Although Xiao Zhanpeng has not known Li Qiufeng for a long time, but he knows Li Qiufeng's abilities, he never thought that he would be seriously injured, and he couldn't help being horrified.Li Qiufeng knew that he was worried, so he comforted him and said: "The injury is already recovering, brother Xiao don't need to worry about me."

The two spoke a few more words before walking back to the archery tower.Li Qiufeng asked Murong Danyan to take Ma Dongqing to the city to find a place to rest. Murong Danyan didn't want to leave Li Qiufeng, but seeing Ma Dongqing's dusty face and tired expression, he had to say goodbye to Li Qiufeng and took Ma Dongqing to the city.

Li Qiufeng and Xiao Zhanpeng found a place to lie down and rest under the arrow tower.Traveling around all day and night, and being seriously injured, Li Qiufeng fell into a deep sleep not long after lying down.

When he woke up, the sky was already bright, and a blanket was covering his body.Li Qiufeng sat up in horror, with his martial arts, even in his sleep, if someone approached, he would wake up immediately.It's just that I didn't know when someone covered me with a blanket, which has never happened before.

After Li Qiufeng sat up, he looked around.But he saw Murong Danyan curled up under a pillar not far from him, still asleep, the blanket on his body must have been covered by her at night.Li Qiufeng was moved, he took off the blanket lightly, walked over on tiptoe, and covered Murong Danyan with the blanket again.

At this moment, I suddenly saw Liu Yong walking over from a distance.Li Qiufeng worried that talking would wake up Murong Danyan, so he hurried forward to meet him.Liu Yong's face was haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, obviously he hadn't slept all night.Li Qiufeng clasped his hands and said, "Mr. Liu worked hard all night, and Li admires it."

Liu Yong waved his hand and said, "I've already discussed with the garrison. I just said that Shaoxia Li heard the news that the rebels will attack the East City with Tartar soldiers as the main force. The garrison was also very happy when he heard the news, and said It is Sang Liangtian who is proficient in the art of war. I don't know why he made such a bad strategy. Although the Tartar soldiers are extremely fierce, they are good at field charges. Letting these people attack the city will simply let them die in vain. Most of the military equipment hidden in the city has also been found. , the bows and arrows can be transported to the tower this morning. If the Tartar soldiers attack the city, we will follow the agreed plan and shoot all the arrows to punish the Tartar soldiers. I have been to the south, west, and north three times. City, we have discussed with the leaders of the Taishan faction, although the rebels may not attack these three directions, they must be careful and must not be negligent."

Seeing Liu Yong's careful arrangements, Li Qiufeng was amazed and said immediately, "Mr. Liu, you took a nap in the watchtower after traveling all night. When the Tazi soldiers attack the city, it won't be too late for you to get up and command us to fight against the enemy." .”
