A knife in love

Chapter 490

Li Qiufeng knew that Xiao Zhanpeng fell in love with Murong Danyan, so it was perfectly appropriate for him to protect Murong Danyan and return to the south of the Yangtze River.

When Murong Danyan heard what Li Qiufeng said, his face changed drastically, first he was surprised, then he became angry, and finally he slowly turned into despair, he just looked at Li Qiufeng sadly.Although she is open-minded by nature, Li Qiufeng has blatantly refused her to go with her at this time.If you put your face down and forcefully go to Sichuan, it is definitely not something Murong Danyan can do.So she just looked at Li Qiufeng, but couldn't speak.After a while, two lines of tears still flowed down from the corners of his eyes.

Xiao Zhanpeng glanced at Murong Danyan, turned his head and said to Li Qiufeng: "Brother Li, you can rest assured, Xiao will protect Miss Murong well."

When he said this, he smiled slightly, and continued: "However, Miss Murong slipped out of Murong Villa this time, Mr. Murong must not be very happy. If she goes back at this time, Mr. Murong will definitely punish her and send her back She was locked up, and if she wanted to go to Sichuan again, it would be very difficult. It would be better for Brother Li to take Miss Murong with her, and Xiao Mou would go back to the south of the Yangtze River first, go to visit Mr. Murong, and report that Miss Murong is safe. In the future, Li Brother and Miss Murong went back to Murong Villa together, thinking that Mr. Murong's anger has subsided, naturally he will not punish Miss Murong. Wouldn't it be good for everyone to be happy like this?"

Li Qiufeng didn't expect Xiao Zhanpeng to say such words, he was dumbfounded and didn't know how to answer for a while.Murong Danyan was even more unexpected. He originally thought that Xiao Zhanpeng would pester him, but he didn't expect that this young swordsman from the south of the Yangtze River would have such a heart. The initial hatred for him disappeared instantly.

Everyone looked at Li Qiufeng together, their eyes were full of encouragement.Li Qiufeng blushed, so he nodded and said, "In that case, Miss Murong will go with Mrs. Sha!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Murong Danyan almost jumped up, and said happily, "Thank you, Sister Sha!"

Mrs. Sha smiled slightly, and said, "Thank you for what? You should thank Young Master Xiao and Young Master Li."

Murong Danyan turned to Xiao Zhanpeng and said, "Thank you, Xiao Laowu!"

After everyone talked and laughed, they headed northeast according to the previous plan.Only then did Li Qiufeng realize that Situ Qiao was not traveling with Liu Yong. He was surprised and asked Liu Yong about it.Liu Yong said: "While we were waiting for the news on the mountainside, Situ Qiao had already left. He said that he had left the capital for a few days and had to go back as soon as possible, otherwise the head of the Hua family would be furious."

Li Qiufeng nodded, and said in his mouth: "The younger generation always feels that this person is not telling the truth, it seems that there is something to hide from us..."

Seeing that Li Qiufeng was quite worried, Liu Yong comforted him and said, "Although Situqiao's reputation is not very good, but we have left the underground cave. Even if he has plans, he will not hinder us. Brother Li, you can rest assured."

Li Qiufeng thought about it too, so he had no choice but to keep silent.They walked northeast for five or six miles, leaving Hutouyan behind.After walking for another mile, we came to a fork in the road.Zhu Sanjia stopped, and said to Li Qiufeng and the others: "Heroes, when we get here, I, Old Zhu, will bid farewell to you all."

Everyone was startled, Murong Danyan said loudly: "Brother Zhu, don't you go to Sichuan with us?"

Zhu Sanjia shook his head and said: "There are still many brothers in Zhuangzi. If my old Zhu does not go back, I am afraid that these brothers will cause trouble." When he said this, he cupped his hands to Mrs. Sha and said, "Eldest young mistress, you After arriving in Sichuan with the chief steward, please inform Old Zhu after you settle down."

Mrs. Sha nodded, and said: "Mr. Zhu, although Yilu and Yiming are brothers, they have very different personalities. After you return to Zhuangzi, you must beware of Yilu harming others."

Zhu Sanjia said with a smile: "Madam, you can rest assured. If this kid wants to attack us, I'm afraid he won't do well. My brothers are elite soldiers who fought with Zhu Shou in the past. The soldiers fled in anticipation of the wind, afraid that Sha Yilu would do bad things?!"

When everyone heard what he said with arrogance, they all smiled slightly.Li Qiufeng's heart trembled, as if he had thought of something in his mind, but with a flash of inspiration, he disappeared into the chaotic thoughts.

Seeing that Li Qiufeng's expression suddenly became serious, Murong Danyan felt strange and said, "Brother Li, what's wrong?"

Li Qiufeng shook his head, did not answer Murong Danyan's words, but turned to Zhu Sanjia and said, "Brother Zhu, have you met the late emperor?"

Zhu Sanjia said loudly: "I went out to the fortress five times with the first emperor, and three of them served as the personal army of the imperial camp. Of course, I have seen him. It's just that the first emperor didn't like everyone calling him emperor, so he had to be called the mighty general Zhu Shou. Or call him the Duke of Zhen Guo, or even call him Lord Commander-in-Chief. If someone still calls him Emperor before the battle, I'm afraid he will be given a military stick..."

Li Qiufeng murmured: "Zhu Shou? Shou? Why didn't I think of it..."

Seeing his appearance, everyone was greatly surprised.Ever since Liu Yong met Li Qiufeng, even in the underground imperial mausoleum and outside Yong'an City, facing martial arts masters such as Tang He, Liu Shengzongyan, as well as thousands of troops such as Sang Liangtian and the Fifth Army Battalion, he has always been calm, never So lost.Why do you look dazed and at a loss at this time?

Zhu Sanjia didn't expect that a few words he said would make Li Qiufeng look like this, and he was a little scared in his heart.Emperor Zhengde's real name was Zhu Houzhao, but he was out of temper, envious of the martial arts of Emperor Taizu and Emperor Chengzu, and often thought of the shame of leading an army of millions to attack the Tartars in the north.Xuanfu was an important town for the Ming Dynasty to defend against Tartar soldiers going south. Emperor Zhengde visited Xuanfu many times in spite of the advice of the court ministers.Because all the ministers in the cabinet opposed the initiative to attack the Tazi soldiers, they even blocked the gate of the palace to persuade them.Emperor Zhengde didn't want to listen to the persuasion of his ministers, so he sneaked out of the capital several times with only his personal eunuchs and a few Jinyi guards, sneaked into Xuan Mansion, and lived in the house prepared for him by the general soldiers of Xuan Mansion.He named the house "Zhen Guo Mansion", named himself Duke of Zhen Guo, and named himself Zhu Shou.When leading troops to fight, he issued an imperial edict to himself, saying, "Fengtian Chengyun emperor ordered Zhu Shou, the commander-in-chief of the Duke of the Town, to be the mighty general to lead the army to conquer the north."The court ministers had nothing to do with him, so they had to let him mess around.However, the Ministry of War did not issue military talismans, so this mighty general could not mobilize troops from all over the world, so he could only use troops from Xuanfu and Datong towns.

Ordinary people naturally don't know about these things in the palace.When Li Qiufeng was on duty in Jinyiwei, he had heard of many absurd things about Emperor Zhengde in the past, so naturally he had heard of Zhu Shou as well.It's just that at this time, he thought of someone, and he couldn't help but panic.Then I thought of Yang Zhenzhong, Liu Kang, Yang Tinghe and other important court officials appearing in Yong'an City, and the Fifth Army Battalion suddenly appeared under Hutou Rock.The old man Zuo from Zuojiazhuang in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province also came here.There are many changes in the world. It seems that martial arts masters gather because of the treasure of the Eight Treasures Lotus Mountain Imperial Mausoleum, but behind the scenes, it is closely related to official party struggles and even the succession of the throne.Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng's complexion changed drastically, and his right hand involuntarily clenched the handle of the knife.But just as he stretched out his right hand, he suddenly realized that the Xiuchun knife had been broken by the white snake, and he had discarded the scabbard in the valley, so he had to take his hand back again.

Liu Yong and the others looked at each other, not knowing what happened.At this moment, I heard Li Qiufeng say to Liu Yong: "Mr. Liu, this junior has an important matter to do. Please, Mr. Liu protect Mrs. Sha and go first. After finishing the work, this junior will meet Mr. Liu."

Seeing Li Qiufeng's serious face, Mr. Liu knew that what he had to do was really big, so he nodded.Li Qiufeng said: "Everyone, go to the northeast. After leaving the mountains here, turn westward for eighty miles and you will reach the southern city of the capital. There is a place in the southeast of the capital called Qingyan Mountain, not far from the westbound road. There is a mountain on Qingyan Mountain. The Guandi Temple has been abandoned for many years. Mr. Liu, the head of Chu and other seniors can come to the Guandi Temple to gather first, and the juniors will come later."

Murong Danyan wanted to go with Li Qiufeng again, so Li Qiufeng had no choice but to agree.Xiao Zhanpeng was going to pick up Ma Dongqing, so he bid farewell to everyone at this fork in the road.Seeing that Zhu Sanjia, Li Qiufeng, Murong Danyan, and Xiao Zhanpeng were going to leave separately, Liu Yong had to tell everyone to be careful, and then bid farewell.

After Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan parted from the crowd, they hurried eastward.It was already afternoon, the sun was shining, and the earth was bright. Looking back on the situation in the cave, it seemed like a lifetime ago.The two of them traveled very fast, and they had traveled more than twenty miles in half an hour, and they happened to arrive at a town. Li Qiufeng saw someone selling horses, so he wanted to buy two horses.When I touched the bosom, it was empty, and I couldn't help but feel embarrassed.Murong Danyan grinned, took out an ingot of silver and bought two horses, and said: "Brother Li, if you don't take me with you, you will have thorns every step of the way, don't you think so?"

The two rode out of the town on horseback, but embarked on a road again.Murong Danyan carefully identified the direction, and said to Li Qiufeng while galloping forward: "Brother Li, are we going to Yong'an City?"

Li Qiufeng shook his head, and said in a deep voice, "We're going to the Imperial Tomb to find someone."

When Murong Danyan heard the word "Huangling", his heart trembled, and he said in a trembling voice: "Brother Li, don't tell me you don't have any money, so you want to make a fortune in the Huangling?"

Li Qiufeng said: "That's not true. I suddenly thought of a person. I have encountered so many strange things these days. If you think about it carefully, it is very likely that it has something to do with this person, so you have to ask him clearly. Otherwise, we will escape Hutouyan, I'm afraid this matter will not end."

Murong Danyan was puzzled when he heard his solemn words, and when he wanted to ask again, he heard Li Qiufeng say: "We must hurry up and get to the Imperial Tomb as soon as possible. The longer this matter drags on, the more troublesome it will be."

After Li Qiufeng finished speaking, he pinched the horse's belly with his legs, and with a wave of the whip with his right hand, the mount under his crotch rushed out like flying.Murong Danyan naturally didn't want to lag behind, so he also galloped up to follow.Only the sound of horseshoes was heard, and the two had gone far away in an instant.
