A knife in love

Chapter 3409

When Ye Fengchun said this, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "It is said that the reason why the river became hot is because the source is in the belly of a mountain that can emit fire. The flames are scorching hot, and after flowing out of the mountainside, the river water is still not cooled, and although it is freezing cold, it will not freeze."

The three talked and talked, and before they knew it, they had reached the end of the wooden bridge.I saw several Fusang sergeants guarding the bridgehead, accompanied by two Songhelou men standing beside them.Ye Fengchun lowered his voice and said to Li Qiufeng: "Uncle Li, go down and say hello to the leader of the bridge guards. You and Miss Mu go straight across the bridge."

Li Qiufeng nodded, and said in his mouth: "Mr. Ye, please do your own thing, don't worry about Miss Mu and me."

Ye Fengchun bowed his hands to Li Qiufeng, got off his horse, and led the horse towards the soldiers at the bridge.Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan sat on their horses and walked slowly across the bridge.I saw Ye Fengchun with a happy face, talking with several Fusang soldiers.Those Fusang sergeants didn't pay any attention to Li Qiufeng and others, they just cared about joking with Ye Fengchun.

After crossing the wooden bridge, there is a wide dirt road under your feet.Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan mixed in the crowd and walked forward slowly.After walking about two miles, I saw a little fire in front of me, as if there were many torches.Murong Danyan's heart trembled, he turned his head and said to Li Qiufeng: "Brother Li, please look! There are so many torches ahead, could it be that there are enemies blocking the way?"

Li Qiufeng shook his head, and said: "Ye Fengchun is cautious. Before we set off, he sent several teams of scouts to inquire about the news. Later, he divided the people of Fusang in the Hanshan fishing village into four teams and went forward one by one. If the enemy intercepted, Songhe How could the men in the building not come back to report? Therefore, the torches in front must not be owned by the enemy, and most likely the three groups who set off first are resting in front."

After Murong Danyan listened to Li Qiufeng's words, his hanging heart finally returned to his stomach.The two followed the people of Fusang and walked forward for more than a hundred zhang. They saw many people standing darkly on the side of the road. There were more than a dozen people standing in front of the crowd, holding torches in their hands.Seeing this situation, Murong Danyan thought to himself that Brother Li was right, the three groups who set off first really gathered here.

While Murong Danyan was thinking about it, he saw Lin Sen walking forward quickly, cupped his hands towards Li Qiufeng and said, "Little Lin Sen, I have met Mrs. Li, Miss Mu."

Sitting on the horse, Li Qiufeng bowed his hands to return the salute, and said, "Brother Lin, you have worked hard. You were ordered by the shopkeeper to set off first, why did you stop here? Is there something weird ahead?"

Lin Sen stood in front of Li Qiufeng's horse with his hands down, and said respectfully, "The treasurer told the villain not to stop after crossing the wooden bridge, until he has walked two or three miles, and then find a suitable place to stop and rest. The villain saw that there was a forest here, and there were no people around, so he asked everyone to stop, and planned to rest here tonight. But the big shopkeeper didn't arrive, and the villain didn't dare to make any claims, so he asked everyone to stop on the road. Waiting."

Li Qiufeng nodded after listening to Lin Sen's words, and got off his horse. A waiter had already stepped forward and took the reins from Li Qiufeng.At this time, Murong Danyan had also dismounted, and the waiter took the rein from her hand, and then led the two horses aside.Lin Sen approached Li Qiufeng, lowered his voice and said in a low voice: "The shopkeeper has already made an arrangement, and has sent six brothers to scout the road ahead. They set off in a group of two at half an hour intervals, and the distance between them is about thirteen or four miles away. .Once an enemy is ambushed on the way, one of them will rush back to report. No one has rushed back today to ask to see the shopkeeper, so there will be no danger in the thirty or forty miles ahead."

After listening to Lin Sen's words, Li Qiufeng secretly praised Ye Fengchun for his thoughtfulness, nodded, and said, "This is the best. Let's wait here together for the arrival of the chief shopkeeper."

Just as Lin Sen was about to speak, he suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes. He hurriedly turned his head and looked towards the west. He saw several fires flickering non-stop, approaching where everyone was standing.His heart skipped a beat, knowing that Ye Fengchun had arrived, he hurriedly turned his head and said to Li Qiufeng, "The shopkeeper is coming soon, after the villain reports to the shopkeeper, I will invite Uncle Li and Miss Mu to rest here."

Just as Lin Sen finished speaking, the sound of horseshoes approached, and the passenger was Ye Fengchun.He got off his horse, handed the reins to a fellow who went forward, quickly walked up to Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan, cupped his hands and said, "I'm really uneasy about keeping Uncle Li and Miss Mu waiting for so long. "

Li Qiufeng shook his head, and said: "Mr. Ye is too polite, which makes Li feel uneasy. There is no need to say such polite words in the future, otherwise Li will have to sneak away with Miss Mu and go to Hanshan Fishing Village alone."

Hearing what Li Qiufeng said, Ye Fengchun pretended to be frightened on purpose, saying that he didn't dare.After he said a few more polite words, he said to Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan: "We have passed through Chuyuan Town, and after walking five or six miles forward, we can turn northwest and go straight to Hanshan Fishing Village .I have been walking for a day today, and it is already late at night. I need to find a proper place to rest, so as not to be too tired, which is not beautiful.”

Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan naturally had no objection.Lin Sen quickly walked up to Ye Fengchun and cupped his hands and said, "I have seen the shopkeeper before. There is a forest here, which is very hidden, and there are no farmers' houses nearby, so you can rest in peace in the forest."

Ye Fengchun nodded after hearing what Lin Sen had said, and said, "Just do as you said. You just let the brothers take the Fusang people into the woods to rest, and then arrange people to watch the night. We are in a hurry tonight , no time to bury the pot to make food, you send people to fetch dry food and jerky, and distribute them to everyone to satisfy their hunger."

Lin Sen agreed, then turned and left.After a while, more than a dozen Songhelou staff shouted loudly and led the people of Fusang to the woods on the right side of the road.Ye Fengchun personally accompanied Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan into the woods and found a clean place to rest. Two folks from Songhe Tower had brought wooden benches for the three of them. Three packs of jerky and three pots of water.Li Qiufeng, Murong Danyan, and Ye Fengchun walked for a long time. At this time, his belly was rumbling. He smelled the aroma of jerky, and couldn't help moving his index finger. He picked up the jerky and chewed it. In the blink of an eye, he ate all the jerky. , and then drank clear water, and after the waiter took away the plate and the kettle, the three of them chatted for a while, leaned against a big tree and closed their eyes to rest, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
