A knife in love

Chapter 2863
The more Murong Danyan listened, the more amazed she became. After Li Qiufeng finished speaking, she said with a look of surprise: "Ah, it turns out that Jin Yiwei not only has high martial arts skills, but also raises elephants. I don't know if there are chefs with superb cooking skills." , and a farmer who can raise chickens, ducks, geese and pigs?"

Knowing that Murong Danyan was deliberately joking, Li Qiufeng shook his head and said, "Actually, Jinyiwei is not as strong in martial arts as the folklore says. Except for the Jinyi Xiaowei who is in charge of arresting and arresting under the Fusi of Beizhen, Most Jinyi guards are no different from ordinary sergeants and tolerances. It’s just that these Jinyi guards only work in the yamen on weekdays and rarely go out, so they are unknown to the world.”

The two talked and talked, and walked another seven or eight miles, and the sky gradually brightened.Li Qiufeng turned his head and said to Murong Danyan: "We haven't closed our eyes all night, Miss Murong is already exhausted. It seems that there are no villages and towns nearby, should we stop and find a proper place to rest?"

Murong Danyan shook his head, and said: "I encountered a lot of things this night, and everything was thrilling, and I didn't feel tired at all. Besides, it was quite interesting to talk to Brother Li along the way. Let's go as soon as possible." Hurry to Dong'an City, so as not to delay the meeting with the guide. Otherwise, if you go too late, I'm afraid the guide will get annoyed and walk away. Wouldn't it be a big mistake?"

Li Qiufeng smiled slightly, and said: "Miss Murong, don't worry about the guide refusing to join us. The guide Yang Zhenzhong found for us must have a great connection with Jinyiwei. If we don't go to Yu's old shop in Dong'an City, the guide will never Dare to go first. Moreover, Dong'an City is only four or five hundred miles away from Dongliao County, as long as we don't intentionally delay on the road, we will definitely be able to reach Dong'an City in four or five days."

When Li Qiufeng said this, he paused for a while, and then continued: "Yang Zhenzhong was worried about leaking the news, so we let us go to Dong'an City by land first, and then the Dengzhou Guards Navy escorted the Fusang people to go by water, even if we rush Meet up with the guide at Dong'an City, I'm afraid the big ship transporting the Fusang people still hasn't arrived at Dong'an City, so we don't have to hurry, we will definitely not miss the time."

Murong Danyan was in high spirits right now, no matter how Li Qiufeng tried to persuade her, she refused to get off her horse and rest.Li Qiufeng had no choice but to ride forward with her.By the time the sky was bright, the two of them had traveled more than forty li.According to Murong Danyan's plan, the two of them should go straight forward without dismounting to rest.Li Qiufeng shook his head and said to Murong Danyan: "Even if we can endure hunger and hunger, the horse must be very tired now after carrying us and our luggage for dozens of miles. Let's dismount and rest for a while, let the horse eat grass and drink water That's good. Otherwise, if you keep walking, you may hurt your mount."

Hearing what Li Qiufeng said, Murong Danyan could only nod his head in agreement.The two got off their horses and found a small river not far from the right side of the road. They let the three horses graze and drink by the river, and sat beside them to rest.After a stick of incense, the two got on their horses and walked until the afternoon, and finally walked into a town.The two found a tavern to get a tip, and ordered Xiao Er to drink the horse. After they were full of wine and food, they rode through the town and walked eastward.The journey lasted for more than one day, and at dusk on the fourth day, the two finally arrived outside the west gate of Dong'an City.

When the officers and soldiers guarding the gate saw Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan approaching, they recognized that the mounts under their crotch turned out to be army horses, and immediately surrounded them.Seeing this situation, Murong Danyan was about to take out the Jinyiwei waist badge hidden in his bosom to show off, when Li Qiufeng hurriedly gave her a wink, signaling her not to move rashly, got off his horse, and cupped his hands at the leaders of the officers and soldiers. He smiled and said, "Masters are invited. The villain's surname is Li. He is a traveling merchant in the medicinal materials business. He lives in Dongliao County, Liaoyang Prefecture. This time, he went to Dong'an City to purchase medicinal materials. He heard that a group of pirates had recently arrived in the coastal area of ​​Liaodong. Harassing the common people, plundering merchants' money, the villain has a good friendship with Li Zhisheng, the county magistrate of Dongliao County, and he lent the villain three good horses, saying that once pirates come ashore to rob, he can ride away on the horses."

While talking, Li Qiufeng took out two ingots of silver from his bosom, quietly stuffed them into the hands of the leader of the officers and soldiers, and said with a smile: "This is the first time for a villain to do business in Dong'an City, and he doesn't understand the rules here. If there is something offensive, I also ask the military master to forgive me. If the military master can make it easier, the villain will be very grateful."

The leader of the officers and soldiers took the two ingots of silver, feeling that the weight weighed heavily on his hands, he was both surprised and happy, and thought to himself that this man is very sensible, and the two ingots of silver given to Lao Tzu would be no less than ten taels.Judging by his attire and manner of speaking, he doesn't look like an ordinary traveling businessman, and he probably really has a lot of friendship with the magistrate of Dongliao County.I heard that Mr. Qiu, the magistrate of Dong'an City, has contacts with the magistrate of Dongliao County from time to time. If I sue this person, then the magistrate of Dongliao County will write to Mr. Qiu to complain. I will be in bad luck.Thinking of this, the leader of the officers and soldiers tightly held the two ingots of silver in his hands, and pretended to say: "Since you have friendship with the magistrate of Dongliao County, you want to know the rules set by the court. Let me ask you, you go to Dong'an City Come, do you have any prohibited items on your body?"

Li Qiufeng shook his head with a smile on his face and said: "I don't dare to be a villain. I always behave in a well-behaved way, and I never dare to violate the laws of the court. The luggage we are carrying is nothing more than a few clothes. If you don't believe me, feel free Check it carefully."

After hearing Li Qiufeng's words, the leader of the officers and soldiers chuckled and said, "You guys are smart. Well, you go to the city."

Hearing what the leader of the officers and soldiers said, Li Qiufeng hurriedly said a few words of gratitude to the leader of the officers and soldiers, and then led his mount and walked into the city with Murong Danyan.As soon as I walked out of the door, I saw people coming and going on the street, which was very lively.It was almost dusk, and many shops lit up the lanterns in front of their doors. At a glance, the city was full of bright lights, much more prosperous than Dongliao County.

After Murong Danyan and Li Qiufeng walked side by side for more than twenty feet, they turned their heads and looked behind them, only to see the group of officers and soldiers gathered by the city gate to talk.She turned her head and said to Li Qiufeng: "Brother Li, these officers and soldiers are so hateful, why do you want to be obedient to them? If we take out the Jinyiwei waist card, we must scare them to death, why give them money ?”

Li Qiufeng smiled slightly, and said in his mouth: "These officers and soldiers are nothing more than villains, why should we take them seriously? If we take out the badges of Jin Yiwei, most of these guys don't know what the badges of Jin Yiwei are. They either Turn a blind eye to the waist badge and get entangled with us, or report the matter to the Shangguan, and the Shangguan will investigate us. We came to Dong'an City to meet with the guide. If we fight with the officers and soldiers, it will inevitably cause trouble. If Dong'an City Officials know that Jin Yiwei is here, and the red tape is extremely troublesome, and our going to Fusang will also be leaked. Why don’t we give these officers and soldiers two silver coins, which can save a lot of trouble.”
