A knife in love

Chapter 2898
The two drank tea and chatted.Li Qiufeng said: "At present, the four gates of Dong'an City are closed. When Mr. Zhou enters the city, I'm afraid it will take a lot of trouble?"

Zhou Xian chuckled, and said: "Before I left Dongliao County, Master Qin asked me to bring a copy of the Guanfang signed by the Ministry of War. When I just entered the city, I took out the Guanfang, and the general flag guarding the city looked at it. His face turned pale with fright, and he immediately led his sergeants to open the city gate to let them go. However, seeing that the city was heavily guarded, for fear of misunderstanding, he left the dozen or so sergeants who came with him at the city gate, and went all the way. After inquiring, I finally found this inn."

Hearing Zhou Xian's words, Li Qiufeng thought to himself, the commander of the Dengzhou Guard came to Dongliao County for assistance under the order of the imperial court, so he naturally brought along the investigation and cooperation from the Ministry of War.This time, Zhou Xian was sent to escort three large ships to Dong'an City. In order to avoid misunderstanding, he also handed over the defense of the Ministry of War to Zhou Xian.Although Zhou Xian was also contaminated with many official habits, he did not lose his rough and bold qualities.Brother Qi was born in Dengzhou Wei, so he wanted to know Zhou Xian.In the future, the Qi brothers will be greatly employed by the court, and it would be a wonderful thing if Zhou Xian became his military attache.

While Li Qiufeng was thinking, he only heard footsteps coming from the door, and then Ding Guan pushed open the door and walked into the inn lobby.Although it was late autumn at this time and it was quite chilly, Ding Guan was sweating profusely. After entering the lobby, he took off his hat, fanned it in front of him, and panted heavily.After entering the door, he first looked at the counter on the left, but did not pay attention to Li Qiufeng and Zhou Xian who were sitting in front of the window on the right.Seeing that there was no one behind the counter, Ding Guan turned his head and shouted towards the door: "Little bastard, you said shopkeeper Yu had something important to come to discuss with me, but now that I'm here, where did shopkeeper Yu die?!"

Just as Ding Guan finished speaking, a boy ran in from the door and looked behind the counter in panic.Seeing that the shopkeeper was not there, the little boy hurriedly said to Ding Guan with a smiling face: "Uncle Ding, no matter how courageous the villain is, he would not dare to play tricks on you, right? It is true that the shopkeeper ordered the villain to invite you, and I think he is busy in the back hall." , Uncle Ding wait a moment, the villain will go find the shopkeeper..."

Before the boy finished speaking, Li Qiufeng said with a smile: "Mr. Ding, please come and talk."

Ding Guan was startled when he heard Li Qiufeng's voice suddenly, he turned his head and looked to the right quickly, only then did he see Li Qiufeng.He immediately changed his face, with a flattering smile on his face, and quickly walked towards Li Qiufeng and Zhou Xian.The little boy stuck out his tongue as if he had been pardoned, turned around and ran out of the house.

Ding Guan walked up to Li Qiufeng quickly, cupped his hands and said: "I have seen Uncle Li. I was in a hurry just now, and my head was a little confused, but I didn't see Uncle Li sitting here, so please forgive me. "

Li Qiufeng shook his head and said with a smile: "Mr. Ding doesn't need to be so polite, please sit down and talk."

Ding Guan wiped the sweat from his forehead with the sleeve of his right hand, sat down on the chair, and said with a smile: "I know that Uncle Li has something important to call, so I ran all the way here in a panic. Uncle Li, please forgive me."

As soon as Ding Guan finished speaking, he was about to sit on the chair, when he suddenly saw that Zhou Xian, who was sitting across from him, was actually wearing a military officer's official uniform.Although he is not an official, he has dealt with the government a lot in the capital, so he naturally knows the clothes of the court military officers.Recognizing that Zhou Xian was wearing a guerrilla uniform at this moment, Ding Guan was startled, and thought to himself that the biggest leader of the officers and soldiers in Dong'an City was just a general. Where did this guerrilla come from?All the officials, big and small, in Dong'an City knew all of them, except this Guerrilla.Judging by the appearance of this person, he is definitely not an ordinary military officer, so I have to deal with it carefully.

Ding Guan has dealt with the government for more than 20 years, and he is the most slippery person. His thoughts changed sharply. Before his buttocks sat on the chair, he suddenly stood up straight again, cupped his hands at Ding Guan and said: "Forgive me for my clumsy eyes, and came in a hurry again." , I didn’t see this guerrilla lord, please forgive me.”

Seeing that Li Qiufeng greeted Ding Guan, Zhou Xian knew that Ding Guan was the one who was traveling with Li Qiufeng, and thought that he must be related to Jin Yiwei, so although Ding Guan was dressed in ordinary clothes, Zhou Xian did not dare to offend him.Seeing Ding Guan salute and speak respectfully to him, Zhou Xian hastily stood up and returned the salute, saying, "Don't dare, dare not."

Li Qiufeng saw that Ding Guan and Zhou Xian were humble to each other, and his heart became clear. He knew that although they didn't know each other's background, they both thought each other was an extraordinary person, so they were so careful.He was amused in his heart, but he couldn't say it out loud, so he said: "You two don't need to be polite, please sit down and talk."

After Ding Guan and Zhou Xian listened to Li Qiufeng's words, they gave way to each other and sat on the chairs.After Li Qiufeng introduced them, Ding Guan and Zhou Xian were polite again.After the two of them had finished their polite conversation, Li Qiufeng said to Ding Guan: "Master Zhou has escorted the three big ships to the dock of Dong'an City, Mr. Ding, may I trouble you and Li to go to the dock?"

Ding Guan hurriedly stood up, and said respectfully: "This is my duty, how dare I let Uncle Li say the word 'trouble'?!"

Li Qiufeng smiled slightly, asked Ding Guan to sit down, and then said to him and Zhou Xian: "Please wait a moment, Li will go to the guest room to pick up some belongings, then call Miss Mu, and we will go to the pier together. "

After Li Qiufeng went up to the second floor, he first told Murong Danyan about Zhou Xian escorting the ship to Dong'an City.After Murong Danyan heard this, he was excited and also slightly uneasy.She thought for a moment, and said to Li Qiufeng: "Brother Li, let's go to the pier, should we carry weapons with us?"

Seeing that Murong Danyan was a little nervous, Li Qiufeng smiled slightly and said: "We are just going to inspect the ship, not to set sail immediately, not to mention that the officers and soldiers of the Dengzhou Guard are escorting the big ship, not the enemy, so we don't need to carry weapon."

When the two went downstairs, they saw the shopkeeper talking with Ding Guan and Zhou Xian.Seeing Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan coming down, the three of them hurriedly stood up with very respectful expressions.Li Qiufeng introduced Zhou Xian to Murong Danyan, and they saluted each other.Zhou Xian thought to himself, this little girl is only sixteen or seventeen years old, but she speaks and behaves gracefully, she is definitely not an ordinary folk girl.She was traveling with this Jinyiwei hundred household surnamed Li, presumably it was either his best friend or his younger sister.

Li Qiufeng chatted with Ding Guan and Zhou Xian for a few words, then took Murong Danyan and the two out of Yu's old shop and walked straight to the south of the city.The four walked and chatted, and before they knew it, they came to the Tianhou Temple again.When Murong Danyan saw the majestic temple gate of Tianhou Palace, he was startled and stopped involuntarily, his face turned pale instantly.Seeing this situation, Li Qiufeng was startled, and thought to herself that when Miss Murong and I were heading to Nancheng that day, we passed by here by accident, and she was terrified when she remembered the horrible experience in the tomb passage of Yelubei's mausoleum.Later, when he went to the pier with Ding Guan, he took another road and did not pass the Tianhou Temple.Today we left the old shop of Yu's family, we were only talking all the way, and we came here in a daze, no wonder Miss Murong was frightened and Huarong turned pale.
