A knife in love

Chapter 42

Seeing the panic on the beggar's face, Li Qiufeng didn't dare to lie, so he immediately asked, "Where are these thieves hiding now?"

The beggar said: "I heard that the Taishan faction entered Yong'an City yesterday and is now living in the west of the city. The Hengshan faction arrived this morning. Our Beggar Clan led the way and lived in Tianyi Pawnshop in the south of the city. Our Beggar Clan also lived in the city last night." I arrived, and several elders live in the Town God's Temple in the east of the city. I heard that the north of the city is the territory of the Kunlun Sect, but the masters of the Kunlun Sect are very mysterious, and we don't have any news with us. But the elder Guan of our beggar gang has passed on the word, Disciples of the Beggar Clan are not allowed to enter the north of the city to avoid conflicts with the Kunlun faction."

Li Qiufeng asked a few more words, the beggar was just an ordinary disciple in the beggar gang, his status was extremely low, and he didn't know anything about it.Seeing that he couldn't come up with anything, Li Qiufeng kicked him out with a "bang", turned around and left.

Li Qiufeng was anxious and ran straight to Gu's old shop.After walking for more than half a mile, I suddenly saw a person standing dozens of steps away.

Li Qiufeng stopped slowly, slowly untied the cloth bag, and took out the long knife with its sheath.

The man still turned his back to Li Qiufeng.I saw him in a black gauze dress, wearing a black gauze cap, with his left hand behind his back, and a long sword in his right hand.

At this time, there were only the two of them on the long street, and everything in the world was chilled.

Li Qiufeng took a step forward, this step was extremely slow, but after he raised his foot, he left a deep footprint on the ground.

The man still didn't move. Although the wind blew the weeds on the roadside, the clothes of the man in black didn't move at all. The two long gauze ribbons behind the gauze cap hung motionless behind his back as if filled with lead.

Li Qiufeng knew that this person was concentrating his internal energy into his whole body at this moment, and he was accumulating energy for release.Once this sword is struck, it is bound to be a ground-breaking killing move.

But Li Qiufeng had nowhere to go.Although he didn't look back, he already noticed that the way back had been cut off.

Li Qiufeng approached the man in black step by step, and when he was ten steps away from the man in black, he stopped slowly.

The man in black still didn't move, Li Qiufeng said in a deep voice, "Which senior of the Huashan School are you?"

"Liu Yong." The man said in a deep voice.

Li Qiufeng was startled, and said, "Swordsman picking stars?!"

"Don't dare." Liu Yong said slowly.

Huashan School is one of the famous and decent schools in Jianghu. Huashan swordsmanship is unrivaled in Jianghu, and its reputation is so high that it is no longer inferior to Wudang School. "Star Reaching Swordsman" Liu Yong is a famous master in the Central Plains. In the past, he once stabbed seven candles with one sword, so he got the title of "Star Reaching Swordsman".It is said that the level of martial arts is no longer inferior to that of the leader of the Huashan School, Qiu Ji.

Li Qiufeng said: "Your Excellency is a senior in Jianghu, why bother to wade through this muddy water in this small Yong'an City, and lower your status in vain."

Liu Yong turned around slowly, and saw that this famous "Star Reaching Swordsman" was about 40 years old, with a fair complexion and a short beard under his chin, just like a well-educated Confucian.If it weren't for the long sword in his hand, it would be hard to believe that he was actually a martial arts master.

"Are you Zhu Ming or Zhou Jingtian?" Liu Yong asked, then shook his head and said, "You are not any of them, because they are not as young as you."

Li Qiufeng said: "I, Li Qiufeng, have met Senior Liu."

Liu Yong said, "Li Qiufeng? This is just a fake name."

Li Qiufeng said: "If a man doesn't change his name when he's in business, or his surname when he's sitting down, why use a false name to deceive people?"

Liu Yong frowned and said, "I've never heard of a young hero named Li Qiufeng in Jianghu. But your martial arts are amazing."

Li Qiufeng said: "Don't dare, how dare this junior be abrupt in front of Senior Liu?"

Liu Yong said, "Are you a member of Yu Changyuan's group?"

Li Qiufeng shook his head, and said: "No. Li is just going to do something with Yu Daxia and others, and has no deep friendship with them."

Liu Yong said: "I want to know what you are going to do?"

Li Qiufeng said: "I want to know what Huashan sent to Yong'an City for?"

Liu Yong said: "I came here just to know where Wuhu Villa is going and what to do?"

Li Qiufeng said: "Right now so many Jianghu gangs gather in Yong'an City, what they want to know is the same as Senior Liu's. Although the Huashan faction's martial arts are high, if I reveal the news to Senior Liu, these gangs will definitely be the same as Senior Liu. It's a difficult situation. If the five elders of Mount Tai join forces to fight against Senior Liu, I'm afraid that no matter how high your martial arts are, Senior Liu will be hard to resist."

Liu Yong said: "So, it's for my own good if you don't tell me the truth?"

Li Qiufeng shook his head and said, "It's not just for the sake of seniors, but also for my own."

Liu Yong nodded, and said: "I never thought that after three years of retreat, there would be a number one person like you in the rivers and lakes. You are truly a formidable young man. It's just that the future is difficult and dangerous. I hope you can turn the danger into good fortune."

Li Qiufeng said: "Thank you for your guidance, senior." After saying that, he walked away.

When the two passed by, Liu Yong said, "Which teacher do you work under?"

Li Qiufeng kept on stepping, and said as he walked: "My master forbids me to say his name, please forgive me, senior."

Liu Yong said: "When the matter here is over, I want to learn a few tricks with you. I don't know if it will be a face?"

Li Qiufeng said: "But according to the instructions of the seniors, there will be no exceptions."

Liu Yong nodded and said, "I won't stop you today because I don't have the confidence to beat you."

Li Qiufeng had walked more than ten steps away at this time. Hearing what Liu Yong said, a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "I'm not sure that I can beat senior."

After Li Qiufeng rushed back to his old shop, he immediately told Yu Changyuan all the news he saw and heard in Yong'an City, but skipped the part about helping Murong Danyan.Hearing that a large number of people from the rivers and lakes had poured into Yong'an City, everyone was shocked.Yu Changyuan said: "The Taishan faction is rampant in Shandong. Although they are famous and decent, they have done a lot of business without their own line these years. It is not surprising that they have done such things. It's just that the Huashan faction and the Kunlun faction have always had a good reputation. Why rush this muddy water?

Yan Dufei said: "I think someone deliberately spread the word that these martial arts masters rushed to Yong'an City. He likes to fish in troubled waters and make money out of fire. This person's ambition is really not small."

Yu Changyuan took a few steps in the room and said, "Now the enemy is attacking in a big way, we have to think of a way to escape."

At this moment, Zhuang Ding was heard outside the door saying: "Second Villa Master, you are finally back, the Eldest Villa Master and the others are waiting impatiently."

When Yu Changyuan heard that Zhuang Hengyun had rushed back, he was overjoyed and hurried to the door to greet him.I saw Zhuang Hengyun jumping off his horse, followed by three horses, and the three riders on the horse also got off their horses afterward.

Zhuang Hengyun said to Yu Changyuan: "Brother, I'm back."

Yu Changyuan said: "Everyone please sit in the room." He raised his eyes and looked at the three people behind Zhuang Hengyun.It can be seen that these three people are all in their thirties, they walk vigorously, they are very sturdy, and their martial arts are obviously not weak.

When everyone returned to the house, Zhuang Hengyun said: "After I arrived at Tianmen, I paid a visit to the old bodyguard Tang. After reading the letter written by the eldest brother, the old bodyguard immediately summoned people to come to help."

As soon as he said this, there was a whisper in the hall.Everyone in the Five Tigers Villa showed joy on their faces.Zhuang Hengyun went on to say: "The old escort was afraid that brother would be impatient, so he sent three friends from the Xingyuan Escort Bureau to come first, and the old escort arrived later."

Yu Changyuan was overjoyed, and clasped his fists at the three escorts of Xingyuan Escort Bureau and said, "Thank you three friends for coming to help you. Haven't you asked the names of the three Gaos?"

The leading man bowed back and said, "Young Tang Wanxiang, I pay my respects to Master Yu."

When Yu Changyuan heard that this person was surnamed Tang, he was slightly taken aback, and said, "Old bodyguard Tang belongs to your Excellency..."

Seeing that Yu Changyuan was suspicious, the man hurriedly said, "Old escort Tang is my father."

Yu Xianyuan laughed and said: "Unexpectedly, nephew Tang Xian has reached his thirties after so many years." After speaking, he patted Tang Wanxiang's shoulder lightly a few times, his expression very affectionate.

Zhuang Hengyun introduced the other two bodyguards to Yu Changyuan.After everyone sat down, Zhuang Hengyun said, "Why don't you see Fifth Brother?"

Yu Changyuan's face darkened, and he said, "The fifth brother was plotted against by a dog thief, unfortunately..."

Zhuang Hengyun was shocked, and said, "Who did this murder?"

Zhu Ming said on the side: "It's the Mount Tai faction. The five elders of Mount Tai must have arrived in Yong'an City by now."

Zhuang Hengyun murmured: "If the five elders of Mount Tai arrive together, I'm afraid..."

Yan Dufei said: "Second brother Zhuang, just now you entered the city from the north gate, were you not stopped by the enemy along the way?"

Zhuang Hengyun shook his head and said: "Brother told me not to get entangled with the enemy, so I rushed into the city with Brother Tang and others, maybe the enemy didn't have time to intercept them."

Yu Changyuan briefly described what happened today. Zhuang Hengyun heard that the masters of the Huashan School had also arrived in Yong'an City, and couldn't help but tremble. He said, "Brother, I'm afraid there is something wrong with this matter."
