A knife in love

Chapter 2693
Since Murong Danyan got acquainted with Li Qiufeng, she seldom heard him joking with her. She never thought that when facing a crisis tonight, Li Qiufeng would actually tell her such a joke.Murong Danyan was startled for a moment, glanced at Li Qiufeng, and said, "Brother Li, do you want Sister Xiaoyu to stay with you?"

After Li Qiufeng uttered a joke just now, he immediately regretted it, thinking to himself that at this critical moment, how could he be so ignorant and say such a nonsense, there is no reason for Miss Murong to underestimate him.When he was regretting, he was shocked when he heard Murong Danyan speak like this, and was about to explain, but he heard Murong Danyan rushing to say: "Yes, sister Xiaoyu is smart, with her by Brother Li's side, It can save a lot of trouble. It's not like me, a stupid girl with shallow knowledge and recklessness, who can only make trouble for Brother Li!"

When Murong Danyan spoke, he deliberately put on a serious face.But it was pitch black all around, and although the two were not far apart, Li Qiufeng couldn't see her expression, otherwise he would have become even more panicked.If so, Li Qiufeng felt uneasy when he heard Murong Danyan's bad tone, and hurriedly said: "Li definitely didn't mean that! I said something wrong just now, please don't get angry."

Murong Danyan didn't take what Li Qiufeng said just now to heart at first, but just made fun of him on purpose.Hearing Li Qiufeng's anxious voice at this moment, she suppressed her smile and said, "Okay, okay, I'm just talking casually. But sister Xiaoyu has a deep-rooted love for Qi Jiu. Brother Li, you don't want to be rude to her." What do you think?"

Li Qiufeng was robbed by Murong Danyan, he just felt very uncomfortable with the burning on his face, knowing that no matter what he said at this time, it would be very easy for Murong Danyan to find out the flaws in his words, so he had to laugh a few times, and said nothing. Did not speak.Murong Danyan played tricks on Li Qiufeng, the anxiety in his heart eased a lot, and he said: "Let's not talk about these irrelevant things. Now that Brother Li has an idea, I will follow my orders."

Seeing that Murong Danyan didn't grasp his slip of the tongue, Li Qiufeng breathed a sigh of relief, and didn't want to entangle her any more in this matter, so he took Murong Danyan and walked cautiously towards Dongliao County.When he was less than half a mile away from the north gate, he stopped, took a closer look at the top of the city, and discussed with Murong Danyan before leaving the official road and walking into a forest on the right. middle.Under the cover of the trees, the two quietly walked through the woods, bypassed the north gate, and headed westward.After walking out of Baishizhang, the Japanese pirates could no longer be seen on the top of the city.Li Qiufeng thought to himself, after the Japanese pirates captured the city gates, most of them thought that most of the defenders had died in their hands, and the remaining defeated soldiers had already dispersed into the city, so only a few guards were left at the four city gates, and the army came from all directions. He rushed to the county magistrate's office.There were no more than two to three hundred Japanese pirates guarding the north gate, and they could only guard the city gate area. There were very few defenders on the rest of the city wall, which gave us an opportunity to take advantage of.

Li Qiufeng took Murong Danyan out for more than half a mile, looked up at the top of the city, although the city was still full of flames, but there were no people on the city.Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan approached the city wall quietly, and climbed up to the top of the city using light kung fu. They saw two Japanese pirates patrolling back and forth with torches in their hands, but they were too far away to see Li Qiufeng and Murong at all. Dan Yan climbed to the top of the wall.Li Qiufeng took Murong Danyan to a crenel at the southern end of the city wall quietly, and raised his eyes to look into the city.I saw flames everywhere in the city, and many houses had collapsed.Seeing this situation, the two were both shocked and angry. They wished they could fly to the magistrate's yamen immediately and fight the enemy side by side with Qi Jiu and Wang Xiaoyu.

When Murong Danyan said this, he paused for a while, and then continued: "My sister also knows what happened later. Brother Li and I sneaked into the city and walked to the magistrate's office. Taking advantage of the unsuspecting of the two pirates, we ordered I dragged them to their acupoints, dragged them to a place where there was no one, peeled off their bamboo helmets and armor, and replaced them on my own body. Without much effort, I sneaked into the county magistrate's office. God pity, my sister and Mr. Qi didn't fall into the hands of the Japanese pirates, otherwise I would I really don’t know how to deal with it.”

After listening to Murong Danyan's words, Wang Xiaoyu was so grateful that she almost shed tears.She was silent for a moment, and roughly told what happened after she and Qi Jiu separated from Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan.Murong Danyan heard from Wang Xiaoyu that she and Qi Jiu had a bloody battle with the Japanese pirates in Beicheng, and after fleeing back to the magistrate's office, they had a big scuffle with the Japanese pirates.It wasn't until after Wang Xiaoyu finished speaking that Murong Danyan heaved a sigh of relief, stopped, grabbed Wang Xiaoyu's hands with both hands, and said in his mouth: "My sister has suffered so much, I feel really sad Fortunately, Mr. Qi did his best to help, and my sister was not harmed by the pirates. From now on, I will never let my sister leave my side easily. Even if we die, we will die together!"

After everyone entered the official road, Li Qiufeng looked around and walked down the stone steps, and ordered several green forest thieves guarding the exit of the secret road to restore the entrance of the cave to its original state, so that no one could see the flaws.Several green forest thieves nodded and said yes again and again, patting their chests loudly, and they would never let the Japanese pirates find the exit of the secret road.Li Qiufeng nodded, and then walked down the stone steps, but saw Qi Jiu standing at the bottom of the cave, waiting for him.The two chatted for a few words before walking side by side.Qi Jiu said as he walked: "Brother Li, you said that this secret road leads to Wang's Village. Could it be that Liu Sheng's family dug it?"

Li Qiufeng nodded, and said in his mouth: "The two old thieves Liu Shengdan, Ma Shou and Morita Shinobi are cunning people. They are the so-called three caves of the cunning rabbit. They are afraid that someone will harm the Wangjiazhuang, so they dug several secret passages in the Wangjiazhuang. , leading to various places outside the village. In this way, if there are enemies to attack and surround the Wangjiazhuang, they can escape from the Wangjiazhuang through the secret road, and will not become a turtle in the urn. After the owner of Jinzhai moved into the Wangjiazhuang, he found I found these secret passages, thinking that they could be used to deal with Japanese pirates, so I kept these secret passages. When Miss Murong and I left Wangjiazhuang, we walked out through this secret passage."

After hearing what Li Qiufeng said, Qi Jiu thought for a while, and then said to Li Qiufeng: "Since the two old thieves Yagyudan Mashou and Morita Shinobu sent people to dig these secret passages, they brought an army of Japanese pirates and killed them back." , How can we not use these secret passages to sneak into the palace? I think that if these secret passages are kept, there must be great risks, so it is better to destroy them to avoid future troubles."

Li Qiufeng nodded, and said: "Brother Qi is right. At the beginning, I had the same thoughts as Brother Qi, but the master of Jinzhai explained the truth to me, which made me suddenly enlightened. He said that we should guard the royal residence to the death. If we don’t leave behind, the whole army must be wiped out. It’s better to leave these secret passages behind. When the Japanese pirates attack the palace with all their strength, we can choose the dead soldiers, escape from the palace through the secret passages, and attack behind the Japanese pirates. Maybe it can hit the Japanese pirates hard. Even if they can’t succeed, the Japanese pirates will have scruples in their hearts, thinking that we have ambushed people elsewhere, and when we attack the royal residence, we can’t do our best, so we can delay more time.”
