A knife in love

Chapter 483

Thoughts in Li Qiufeng's mind changed sharply, but the expression on his face did not change at all. He said in his mouth: "This is a matter between the teacher and Mr. Liu. I am just a low-level junior. How can I participate in such a big event? Master If you don't believe me, you can ask Mr. Liu and your tutor."

Monk Guangzhi's face was cloudy and uncertain, his eyes were fixed on Li Qiufeng, and he said in his mouth: "Although the Japanese in Fujian went to help in large numbers, Mr. Liu is quite scrupulous about them, and he will definitely not let the masters from Sanshan Island participate in this matter. If your master Knowing that that person is from the Xiao family in Fujian, why didn't you expose it on Hutou Rock?"

When Li Qiufeng heard that monk Guangzhi mentioned that the Japanese pirates from Fujian had also come to Hutouyan to help Liu Shengzongyan and others, he was horrified.Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Japanese pirates on the southeast coast have been harassing merchant ships and people along the coast.When Taizu and Chengzu were in power, the sea ban was imposed on the coastal areas, and the Daming navy beat the Japanese pirates to almost disappear.It's just that when the emperors after Chengzu were in power, they thought that the Japanese pirates were just a disease of mustard ringworm, and there was no need to send troops to exterminate them repeatedly.However, the power of Oala in the north became stronger day by day, and the imperial court had to place heavy troops in the north.After the Tumu Fortress Change, the imperial court paid more attention to the northern defense line, and all the elite troops were sent to the Nine Sides, and the defense against Japanese pirates on the southeast coast gradually weakened.Although the imperial court set up the Beiwa Capital Office, it did not pay much attention to it.The guards are full of old, weak and remnant soldiers, and the Shangguan falsely reports the military account and pays nothing.Some treacherous people took the opportunity to collude with Japanese pirates fleeing at sea, invading the southeast coast, and causing the most trouble in Fujian.With the secret help of traitors, the Japanese pirates even abandoned their boats and landed, occupying some coastal islands, openly confronting the imperial court.And the guards in the southeast are useless, and many officials even take advantage of the Japanese pirates, which makes the Japanese pirates more and more serious.

When Li Qiufeng was on duty in Jinyiwei, many Jinyiwei were sent to the southeast every year. On the one hand, they monitored local officials, and on the other hand, they inquired about the military situation of Japanese pirates.According to Jin Yiwei's secret report, there was a civil strife in Japan at that time, and after a large number of defeated Japanese warriors fled the country, they had nowhere to go and had to drift on the sea.These warriors are highly skilled in martial arts, and many of them were former princes or generals of the Wa Kingdom, and were proficient in the art of war.Unwilling to fail, these people got together at sea, plundered merchant ships, recruited troops, stockpiled supplies, and planned to make a comeback and regain the power of the Japanese kingdom.But the big bosses of the Ming court always thought that these Japanese pirates were just some pirates, and they were not in the same breath as the powerful Tartar soldiers.In fact, the Japanese pirates are far from being comparable to ordinary pirates. In fact, they are no different from the army. Marching and fighting pay attention to the art of war, and they are an extremely elite army.Many of the spies sent by Jin Yiwei are extremely powerful masters. Although they mixed in with the Japanese pirates, they were often discovered by the Japanese pirates and suffered a lot of damage.

The Sanshan Island mentioned by Monk Guangzhi is the lair of an army of Japanese pirates. Its power is very important among the Japanese pirates, and it is really a serious problem for Ming Dynasty.It is said that there are still many scoundrels from the Central Plains martial arts on the island, and these demons and heretics are extremely skilled in martial arts.Although Li Qiufeng knew that Liu Sheng Zongyan was using Liu Zongyan's name to usurp the Great Ming Dynasty, he only heard Liu Sheng Feiyan and Zhuyue talk about the origin of the Liu Sheng clan, and only thought that the Liu Sheng clan was to escape from the pursuit of the Japanese general. When they left their hometowns and came to Daming, they did not expect that they would collude with Japanese pirates on the southeast coast of Fujian.But a few days ago, he had heard that Japanese pirates from Fujian had also come to Shajiabao, but he didn't take it seriously at the time.It's just that what Monk Guangzhi said at this time means that the Japanese pirates on the southeast coast have indeed arrived here, and they seem to be colluding with Liu Shengzongyan.However, both sides have their own ghosts, and Liu Sheng Zongyan is also secretly wary of these Japanese pirates.

He knew that he couldn't talk more about Liu Shengzong Yan and Yu Qingzi at this time, and he didn't know much, if he accidentally exposed his flaws, Monk Guangzhi would definitely explode and hurt others.The most important thing right now is to send this old monk away, otherwise, although it is not difficult for him to escape, Murong Danyan will not be able to escape the poisonous hands of this monk.Thinking of this, he chuckled and said, "Master has always been cautious in doing things. Maybe he thought that it would be useful to keep this surnamed Xiao before the time came. It may also be that Mr. Liu has court eyeliner by his side and exposed this matter in public." , It is not good for the big things, so he didn't mention the origin of that person."

Monk Guangzhi snorted, and said, "Be cautious in doing things? He is indeed cautious in doing things, otherwise he wouldn't be able to overwhelm his peers, but he would end up being kicked out of Wudang Sect by his brothers."

Li Qiufeng's heart skipped a beat.The origin of Yuqingzi is extremely mysterious. Although people in Jianghu have heard of this person, they don't know why he suddenly disappeared and suddenly appeared in Shajiabao, and he claims to be the head of the Wudang School.At this time, listening to Monk Guangzhi's words, Yu Qingzi's martial arts can be said to be the most powerful in the Wudang sect, but for some reason, he did not get along with his fellow sect, and was finally expelled from the Wudang sect.All the monks betrayed their masters. They are helping each other, but they are also on guard against each other.Liu Sheng Zongyan probably spent a lot of effort in recruiting these two people by his side.

When he was thinking, he suddenly noticed someone approaching slowly from the left.He saw that Monk Guangzhi's face changed slightly, and he knew that the old monk also noticed that someone was here.Li Qiufeng thought to himself: "Could it be that Mr. Liu and other seniors are unable to come to meet me because Miss Murong and I have not returned? If Mr. Liu, Daoist Qingfeng, Master Chu, and Master Xu have all arrived, everyone should join hands Come, this old monk will not escape justice!"

Only Monk Guangzhi said: "Master Sandcastle, since you are here, why don't you show yourself? Don't you want to see the old monk's jokes?"

Li Qiufeng's heart trembled, and he thought that if Sha Yiming arrived and Monk Guangzhi had another helper, it would be even more difficult for him and Murong Danyan to escape.Just thinking about how to escape from this place, he only heard the sound of footsteps, and then a person turned out from behind a big tree more than ten feet away.I saw this man was wearing a green robe, wearing a gauze crown, white face and short beard, holding a long sword in his right hand, he was Sha Yilu who pretended to be Sha Yiming, the lord of Shajiabao.

Although Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan have never seen Sha Yilu fight with others, they both know that his martial arts are not weak.It was extremely difficult for the two of them to deal with Monk Guangzhi, and at this moment there was another master, and they were all terrified.I saw Sha Yilu floating in front of Monk Guangzhi, and said with a smile: "Master is indeed amazing. We have so many people rounding up everywhere, but Master has great powers, and stopped this kid here."

Monk Guangzhi said: "The Lord of the Sandcastle is not sitting and guarding the Shajiabao, what is he doing here?"

What he said was very rude, but Sha Yilu didn't care, and said with a smile: "A lot of masters from Dongchang have arrived in Shajiabao, Mr. Zhuang is in the middle to dispatch them, and they are in good order. There is nothing to do in Shajiabao. It's just that Mr. Liu was worried that Master and Taoist Priest Yuqingzi were not familiar with the terrain of Hutouyan, so he asked Sha to help them both."

Monk Guangzhi said: "Mr. Liu is worried that the old monk will lose his hand, and this kid will escape again?"

Sha Yilu shook his head, and said: "Master, don't worry too much. Mr. Liu didn't think so. Master and Daoist Yuqingzi are the leaders of Shaolin and Wudang sects, and their martial arts are unrivaled in the world. , how could he miss again on this unknown junior?!"

His words sounded like he was flattering Monk Guangzhi and Yuqingzi, but what he said was Pi Liyangqiu, why couldn't Monk Guangzhi hear it?It's just that he knows that Liu Sheng Zongyan is very dependent on this Shajiabao owner, and he will rebuild the Shaolin sect in the future, but he will also have the great help of the major gangs in the rivers and lakes. This person must not be offended.Therefore, even though he knew that Sha Yilu's words were blatantly positive and secretly derogatory, he was not angry.

Murong Danyan saw Sha Yilu's defiant appearance, and thought that this person pretended to be Sha Yiming and turned the good Shajiabao into a miasma, leaving Mrs. Sha's mother and her son almost nowhere to stand, so he was annoyed and shouted loudly. Said: "One of you pretends to be the owner of Shajiabao to commit crimes, and the other claims to be the head of the Shaolin sect to help the evildoers. You are not good people. You still have the face to talk here and there, are you ashamed?!"

Sha Yilu pretending to be Sha Yiming, apart from everyone in Shajiabao, only a few people like Liu Shengzongyan knew about it.Most of the family members loyal to Sha Yiming in Shajiabao have been killed by Sha Yilu. Those who escaped by chance, because they have never been in the rivers and lakes, and Sha Yiming was seriously injured and died in a martial arts competition with Yan Wuji, it is not wrong to tell them. It sounds good, so even though he knew Sha Yilu was using Sha Yiming's name to do something wrong, he had no choice but to keep silent and not expose it.And Liu Sheng Zongyan wanted to use the name of the owner of Shajiabao as his own, so naturally he would not reveal Sha Yilu's true identity.So even Monk Guangzhi, Yuqingzi and the others don't know Sha Yilu's true identity, they only know that he is Sha Yiming, the owner of Shajiabao.At this moment, when Murong Danyan accused Sha Yilu of "counterfeiting the name of Shajiabao Lord", Monk Guangzhi only said that she was talking nonsense to vent her anger, but he didn't care.It's just that Murong Danyan said that he "professed to be the head of the Shaolin School", but he was quite annoyed in his heart, rolled his eyes, stared at Murong Danyan and said: "What do you know, you unknown person, how dare you stand in front of the old monk and the sandcastle master?" Talking nonsense?"

Monk Guangzhi believed that Li Qiufeng was a disciple of Taoist Qingfeng. Since Murong Danyan was on the same road with him, he was naturally closely related to Yuqingzi.When Murong Danyan taunted Sha Yilu and himself, it was naturally for Yuqingzi's sake.He just took this opportunity to tell stories in front of Sha Yilu, which made Shajiabao feel suspicious of Yuqingzi.After the success of the event, if Yuqingzi is not good for him, he can also go to Shajiabao to fight against the Wudang faction.Besides, the swordsman in front of him is extremely skilled in martial arts, so he must be Yu Qingzi's capable subordinate.If Yuqingzi was not around at this time, and he joined forces with Sha Yilu to kill the swordsman, it could be said that Yuqingzi's wings were broken.Yuqingzi never revealed the identity of this kid, even if he was killed, Yuqingzi would not blame herself in front of Liu Shengzongyan.

Thinking of this, Monk Guangzhi said to Sha Yilu: "Master Sha Castle, I'm afraid you don't know that these two boys are Yuqingzi's disciples. We have spent so much trouble, but Yuqingzi wants to catch the fisherman's hand." Li. Master Shajiabao, I'm afraid that you Shajiabao and our Shaolin faction worked so hard, but in the end you made a wedding dress for someone else, and in the end the bamboo basket fetched water in vain, it's a pity, a pity."
