A knife in love

Chapter 410

At this time, there was no more smoke and dust gushing out from the door opening.Only then did Situ Qiao shake the torch and light the torch, and strode towards the door opening.

Liu Yong drew out his long sword and followed closely behind him.Chu Danyang, Xu Chenghe, Qingfeng Taoist and others also carried weapons, and then filed in.

Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan supported Zhu Sanjia to walk at the end.Zhu Sanjia said to Li Qiufeng: "Master Li, Miss Murong, my injury is no longer a problem, thank you for your help."

Li Qiufeng saw blood oozing from the cloth that wrapped his chest wound, shook his head, and said: "Brother Zhu, the poison in your body has not been completely removed, and the arrow wound is still bleeding, so you must not use force. "

Zhu Sanjia said: "Young Master Li, I don't know something. When I was a soldier in Xuan and Da towns, stabbing with knives, guns and arrows were commonplace. What's more, since I was young, I have a strong skin and thick flesh. This kind of injury is nothing. .”

Murong Danyan said: "Brother Zhu, you are so heroic, you must have many friends in the army. In addition to your bravery and cunning, you must have made a lot of military exploits when you want to fight. Why don't you serve in the army and come back again?" Arrived here?"

Zhu Sanjia sighed, and said: "Miss, I don't know something. To serve as a soldier these days, you have to be able to flatter your boss and spend a lot of money. When I first joined the army, I also wanted to be famous. The idea is that after a few battles, those who bravely killed the enemy on the battlefield have no credit, but those who are greedy for life and fear of death are all promoted. After a few years, I also became discouraged, so I brought some The brothers who fought side by side returned to Hutouyan. Right now, the world of the Ming Dynasty is like a dark sky. Corrupt officials are rampant. Jinyiwei's spies and Dongchang's gangsters are everywhere, and it is only the common people who are unlucky. The southeast coast is full of Japanese pirates. The Tartar soldiers to the north of the Great Wall are staring at each other, and the future is imaginable. I don’t know if the emperor sitting in the imperial city of Beijing knows what the world looks like now.”

When the three of them were talking, they had already walked into the doorway.Li Qiufeng turned on the fire folder and held it high in his hand to illuminate it.The walls on both sides were covered with traces of knives, slashes and gun stabs. Presumably, when the mechanism was activated just now, Jikuo manipulated knives and guns to move back and forth in the doorway, strangling the intruders.

The doorway was about five feet long, but when Situ Qiao was leading the way, he walked extremely slowly, so it took half a stick of incense before everyone reached the end of the doorway.

The two gates at the end had been blown away by Liu Yong's Zhentianzi, so there were still more than ten steps away from the exit, and the situation outside the gate could already be seen.From a distance, a tall and majestic hall can be seen hundreds of feet away, towering under the starry sky.The main hall is taller than the Meridian Gate, about ten feet high, and it is extremely majestic.

When everyone walked out of the door opening, they saw two large doors lying crookedly not far from the door opening.Taoist Qingfeng sneered and said, "Mr. Liu, I didn't expect that your Huashan faction still has such a skill. Fortunately, your faction didn't use this hidden weapon when they competed with Taihua faction. Otherwise, our Taihua faction may have no descendants .”

Liu Yong's face flushed, and he wanted to say a few words on the occasion, but he couldn't find a word for a while.In the midst of embarrassment, Deng Yao suddenly said in a trembling voice: "Why are there so many people here..."

After everyone walked out of the doorway, Situ Qiao turned around on his own and looked up at the tower above him.The rest of the people saw that Situ Qiao stopped and did not go, so they did not dare to move forward, they stood at the exit of the door and looked around.Only Deng Yao was the most courageous, walking forward slowly with a wooden stick in his hand.But under the steps, there is indeed a meandering river, as Li Qiufeng said, with five stone bridges on the river.Under the starlight, one can vaguely see that the stone bridge is made of white marble, and its form is very exquisite.

Deng Yao was curious, so he took two more steps forward and reached the edge of the steps.Standing here, you can already see a large open space behind the stone bridge.It's just that it's okay if you don't look at it. Deng Yao couldn't help but turn pale with fright when he glanced at it.I saw that the open space was full of people everywhere, until the entire open space was full.He was surprised, and then blurted out "Why are there so many people here".

Everyone stood at the exit of the doorway and couldn't see the open space beyond the stone bridge, so they didn't know what Deng Yao meant by this.

Situ Qiao's complexion changed, and he said angrily to Deng Yao: "Old beggar, you are so courageous, you dare to walk around without my permission. If you touch the mechanism, will everyone be buried with you?!"

With Deng Yao's temperament, if Situ Qiao scolded him like this, he would definitely refuse to let him go, and would definitely retort.It's just that at this moment, Deng Yao didn't look back, let alone speak, still turned his back to the crowd, staring blankly at the open space opposite the stone bridge.When everyone saw him standing on the edge of the stone steps, his body trembled slightly.

Seeing that Deng Yao ignored him at all, Situ Qiao was furious, and wished he could rush forward and kick Deng Yao's ass, kicking him to the bottom of the steps.It's just that this old beggar is the leader of the beggar gang, his martial arts are not weak, and he has a deep friendship with many of the gang leaders and leaders present.If I act rashly, not only will I not be Deng Yao's opponent, but other gang leaders and heads may also help Deng Yao.At that time, I will inevitably become the target of public criticism, and the situation will be very bad.

Thinking of this, Situ Qiao suppressed the anger in his chest, turned to Liu Yong and said, "Mr. Liu, what do you say?"

Liu Yong also felt that Deng Yao's failure to abide by the agreement was a bit excessive.But Deng Yao is the leader of the gang after all, so he has to save his face.So he said to Situ Qiao: "Mr. Situ don't need to be angry. In such a strange place, Chief Deng is a little curious, but it's only human."

After he finished speaking, he walked quickly to Deng Yao's side and said, "Master Deng, when we get here, we should listen to Mr. Situ's advice more to keep everyone safe..."

Liu Yong looked at Deng Yao while talking, but saw that he was terrified, his eyes were dull, and he was staring straight ahead.Liu Yong felt strange and couldn't help but follow his line of sight.It's just that when his eyes turned away, his heart trembled, and he stopped talking immediately, and stood on the edge of the steps like Deng Yao, staring ahead, unable to utter a word.

Everyone originally thought that Liu Yong could persuade Deng Yao to come back, but they didn't expect that after he stepped forward, he stood side by side with Deng Yao, staring blankly at the front.Taoist Qingfeng, Chu Danyang, Xu Chenghe and the others all trembled, thinking to themselves: "Although Deng Yao is the leader of the beggar gang, in terms of martial arts and scheming, he can't be called a first-rate master. Yes. It is not a big deal for this person to lose his composure. However, Liu Yong is extremely smart and scheming, and his knowledge of martial arts is not inferior to Qiu Ji, the head of the Huashan School. He is suddenly dumbfounded like Deng Yao, and behaves strangely. Something big must have happened So everyone swarmed up, wanting to see what happened.

Seeing that Liu Yong and Deng Yao behaved differently, Li Qiufeng knew something was wrong, so he said to Murong Danyan in a low voice: "Miss Murong, take good care of Brother Zhu, I'll go ahead and have a look."

Murong Danyan originally wanted to go up to see the excitement, but he was a little embarrassed to hear what Li Qiufeng said.So he nodded and stretched his neck to look forward.

Li Qiufeng walked quickly to the edge of the steps.He has been working in the palace for five years, and he knows the Forbidden City like the back of his hand.The meandering river within the Meridian Gate is called the Inner Jinshui River, and the five stone bridges built with white marble on the river are called Jinshui Bridges.After passing the Jinshui Bridge, there is a square, and the main hall opposite is called the Hall of Supreme Harmony, which is what the people call the "Golden Luan Hall".Standing on the edge of the steps at this time, looking up, it is indeed no different from the situation in front of the Palace of Supreme Harmony.It's just that the open space is full of people at this time, tens of thousands of people are densely packed.

Li Qiufeng turned pale with shock, wondering why there are so many people here.But Liu Yong said in a trembling voice: "Who are these people, why are they gathered here?"

After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Li Qiufeng.Li Qiufeng shook his head at him, implying that he didn't know either.Although Situ Qiao was bold, he was shocked when he saw so many people.He thought to himself: "At first, I thought the imperial city was full of institutions, but I didn't expect there to be so many people. These people swarmed up, no matter how powerful our martial arts are, we are afraid that we will be beaten to pieces by these tens of thousands of people in just a moment."

Thinking of this, Situ Qiao couldn't help but look around quietly, looking for a way to escape.

After Murong Danyan saw Li Qiufeng walking forward, he was like everyone else, standing on the edge of the steps, motionless as if being hit by someone's acupuncture point.She was amazed, how could she bear it?Turning to Zhu Sanjia, he said, "Brother Zhu, I want to go ahead and have a look..."

The Zhu Sanjia had long wanted to go to have a look, but it was because Murong Danyan was protecting her and didn't want to cause her any trouble.At this moment, I heard Murong Danyan say that he wanted to go up and take a look, and it hit his heart, so he nodded and said: "My injury is no longer a problem, let's go and take a look together."

The two walked forward quietly, stood beside Li Qiufeng, and looked forward.When Murong Danyan saw tens of thousands of people standing in front of him, he screamed in fright.Everyone was already in shock, but when they heard this scream suddenly, everyone's heart trembled.Li Qiufeng turned his head hastily, and whispered to Murong Danyan: "Miss Murong, keep silent!"

Murong Danyan hastily covered his mouth with his right hand, and looked at the open space in front of him in horror.

Seeing that Murong Danyan stopped talking, Li Qiufeng felt relieved.Just as he was about to turn his head to observe the situation in front of him carefully, he caught a glimpse of Zhu Sanjia standing next to Murong Danyan.I saw that although Zhu Sanjia also looked puzzled, they didn't have the slightest fear, but thoughtful.

Li Qiufeng's heart moved, and he thought to himself: "Brother Zhu is rough-tempered and has no intentions. Ordinary people will be terrified when they see this situation before them. Why doesn't Brother Zhu show the slightest fear, as if he has seen this situation before? "

Thinking of this, he whispered to Zhu Sanjia: "Brother Zhu, aren't you surprised to see so many people?"

Zhu Sanjia's body trembled, as if he just woke up from a dream.He looked at Li Qiufeng blankly, and murmured: "This, this is the army formation that King Yan used to line up, but it's a bit specious... Yao Guangxiao has set up an army formation here, what exactly does he want to do? !"
