A knife in love

Chapter 2869
Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng's hanging heart finally let go.He had just heard Hu Er mentioned the catastrophe in Dongliao County, and he thought that this person knew the details of the battle in Dongliao County, he was afraid that Hu Er would tell the story of himself and Murong Danyan planning to go to Fusang, which would inevitably lead to another incident.Knowing that Hu Er didn't know about this at all, Li Qiufeng was quite happy, but he still put on a worried look and said, "My family lives thirty miles outside the west gate of Dongliao County. The county seat is quite far away, so I don’t know if it was robbed by pirates, so I’m really worried.”

Although Hu Er and the others regarded Li Qiufeng as an idiot in their hearts, they had benefited from Li Qiufeng after all. Seeing his sad face, they all spoke out to persuade him.At this moment, Murong Danyan came down from the second floor, and saw Li Qiufeng talking to Hu Er and the others, he was startled, thinking to himself that I slept too deeply last night, and when I woke up, it was already bright .Just now I went to Brother Li's house and knocked on the door, but there was no answer. I was a little panicked in my heart, so I went downstairs to look for him, but I didn't expect him to talk to someone downstairs.What is the origin of these three people at the same table with him, why can't I remember where I met them?
Murong Danyan was suspicious and walked quickly to the first floor.Seeing Murong Danyan, the shopkeeper knew that she was Li Qiufeng's companion, so he hurriedly went forward with a smile, and said: "The little old man was worried that he would hinder the guest officer from resting, so he didn't bother the guest officer. I don't know if the guest officer is Do you want to eat in the lobby, or send the food to the guest room?"

Before Murong Danyan could answer, Li Qiufeng turned his head just in time, the two of them met, and he nodded slightly.Murong Danyan understood immediately, and did not go forward to speak to Li Qiufeng, but turned to the shopkeeper and said, "I can just eat in the lobby, please trouble the shopkeeper to prepare some side dishes."

The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly, and personally led Murong Danyan to a clean table, asked her to sit down, and then ordered the waiter to prepare meals.Li Qiufeng thought to himself that since Hu Er and the others didn't know the details of the battle in Dongliao County, there was no need to spend too much time on them, so he whispered: "The three escaped from death this time because of the care of the heavens. It can be seen that the three are Blessed people will surely be rich and powerful in the future."

When he said this, he paused for a while, and then continued: "However, the breach of Dongliao County by pirates is an unprecedented tragedy since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. We in Dong'an City didn't know about it at all. Knowing that Dongliao County has encountered a catastrophe, the three of you must be careful not to leak this matter, otherwise it will be too bad to be caught by the police and tortured in the yamen, or even murdered to silence it?"

When Hu Er and the others heard what Li Qiufeng said, they broke out in a cold sweat, thinking to themselves that the shopkeeper had reminded us not to talk nonsense just now, but he is a bad old man, we looked down on him and didn't care at all.It's just that this kid is right. It stands to reason that such a major event happened in Dongliao County. Dong'an City is only four to five hundred miles away from Dongliao County. How could the government not know about it?Thinking that the city was breached by pirates and the government lost all face, if the common people knew about it, the news would definitely reach the court.At that time, the imperial court sent high-ranking officials to Liaodong to investigate the case, and it is unknown how many high-ranking officials will be killed.As the saying goes, officials and officials protect each other. In order to cover up scandals, these officials must conceal this matter.I didn't figure out this joint just now, and I actually told this matter. If the government finds out, I will definitely not let me go.

Thinking of this, Hu Er and the others were so frightened that they sobered up, their hearts immediately rose to their throats, and their faces were full of frustration and horror.Seeing this situation, Li Qiufeng took the opportunity to say: "You three should leave Dong'an City as soon as possible after eating and go back to Pinganli. As for the fact that Dongliao County was attacked by pirates, don't mention it to others, or you will cause trouble." upper body."

Hu Er and the others nodded repeatedly, they had to leave immediately if they still had the appetite to drink and eat food.Li Qiufeng hurriedly took out three ingots of silver from his bosom, handed them to Hu Er and the others, and said, "Although we met the three for the first time today, we hit it off quite well, and giving these silver coins to the three is regarded as a gift to the three of you." money for the journey."

Hu Er and the others were worried at first, but when they saw the three ingots of silver, their eyes immediately lit up. They were afraid that Li Qiufeng would change his mind, so they grabbed the silver in a hurry, and had no choice but to thank Li Qiufeng. Not only would they not be able to earn money, but they would also lose five or six taels of silver per person.Unexpectedly, by chance and coincidence, I met such a silly boy who gave us a lot of money.Weighing the weight, each ingot of silver is five taels, we will not lose too much on this trip, and we will have an explanation with our wife when we go back.Most likely this silly boy is from Dongliao County, he was worried that his family would be killed by pirates, and he was grateful when he heard the news from us, so he gave us the silver as a gift.

After Hu Er and the others said a few more good words, they left Yu's old shop in a hurry, went straight out of the east gate of Dong'an City, and rushed all the way back to Pinganli.Li Qiufeng tried his best to scare the three of them away, because he didn't want Hu Er and others to leak the news about the battle in Dongliao County.Otherwise, Dong'an City would definitely be turbulent, and there would inevitably be side issues, which might hinder myself and Murong Danyan from going to Fusang.Seeing Hu Er and others hastily leave Yu's old shop, Li Qiufeng felt relieved, turned around and walked to the table where Murong Danyan was sitting, and told the story of meeting Hu Er and others just now.

Murong Danyan nodded after listening to Li Qiufeng's words, and said in his mouth: "The Japanese pirates captured Dongliao County that night. Master Miaohui led all the sisters and sisters of Yongtai Temple to stand up and save the lives of many people. I don't know. After they left Dongliao County, have they returned to Qianshan safely?"

Seeing Murong Danyan's worried face, Li Qiufeng knew that she was worried about the safety of Master Miaohui and others, so he hurriedly said to her: "The Fusang army has already retreated, except for the officers and soldiers in Dongliao County, there is no one to make things difficult for Master Miaohui and others. .Even if there are treacherous people plotting wrongdoing, Master Miaohui has strong martial arts skills and extraordinary experience in the world. There are not many people in the martial arts world who can defeat her. Therefore, Miss Murong, don't worry. After we return from Fusang, we will go to see Miaohui Master is ready."

Murong Danyan's eyes lit up when he heard what Li Qiufeng said, and he said, "Brother Li, do you want to accompany me to Songshan Yongtai Temple to meet Master Miaohui?"

Li Qiufeng nodded, and said with a smile: "That's natural. The girl is not afraid of hardships, and accompanied Li to Fusang. How can Li not reciprocate, and accompany the girl to Yongtai Temple?"

After hearing Li Qiufeng's words, Murong Danyan was elated and said with a smile: "Brother Li is a hero, he defeated the Japanese pirates in Dongliao County, Master Miaohui saw it with his own eyes. If Brother Li came to Yongtai Temple, all the masters in the temple will meet him personally Welcome. My father respects Yongtai Temple very much, if he knows that the masters of Yongtai Temple respect Big Brother Li so much..."

Murong Danyan originally wanted to say that if Murong Qiushui knew that the masters of Yongtai Temple valued Li Qiufeng so much, he would definitely agree to marry him to Li Qiufeng.It's just that she didn't finish her sentence, she realized that something was wrong, she hurriedly stopped, scolded herself to be damned, and thought to herself that if she said such crazy words, Brother Li would definitely laugh at me for being frivolous, if she would feel disgusted, then it would be a big deal Not good.
