A knife in love

Chapter 570

At this time, the heavy snow had just stopped, and the tops of the trees were covered with thick white snow.Li Qiufeng performed lightness kung fu, walking straight as if facing the wind, every time he only lightly tapped on the branch, his body bounced up again, and flew straight to the next big tree.The mountain wind was hunting, and it was pitch black as far as I looked up.There seemed to be countless monsters hidden in the darkness, staring at Li Qiufeng closely from all directions.As long as he stays for a while, they will pounce on him and bite him into pieces.

Li Qiufeng ran for about a cup of tea, and suddenly saw a faint fire shining on the ground not far away.He hurriedly stopped, stepped on a branch with a thick bowl mouth, and listened carefully to the movement in front of him.It's just that they are far away. Although it seems that someone is talking, they can't hear them clearly.

Although Li Qiufeng hoped that there would be Situ Qiao and Master Yuanjue in front of him, but he was always cautious, and he didn't dare to say hello when the situation was unclear.He stared intently, and calculated carefully, the flames were about fifty or sixty feet away from him.Li Qiufeng thought for a moment, then jumped out to the left, walked hundreds of steps on the top of the tree, and then jumped to the ground silently.

The ground here is still covered with snow, and there is no trace of people.Li Qiufeng discerned the direction, and ran towards the direction of those few fire lights.The ground is covered with thick white snow, stepping on it is like stepping on a carpet.Li Qiufeng's lightness skill is extremely high, so even though he was flying vertically on the snow, he didn't make a sound.

In a short while, he had already run for more than fifty feet, when he suddenly heard voices coming from not far ahead, Li Qiufeng stopped hastily, and with a flash of his body, he hid behind a big tree.

I only heard someone say: "Master Xiancheng, why are we getting more and more wrong as we go? Before, we could see footprints, but now we can't even find footprints. If we continue walking like this, even if it's dawn, we won't be able to find the big ones to take with us." miss."

But another person shouted: "What did your mother-in-law say? Since the county magistrate wants us to catch up, you just listen to it!"

Hearing this man's words, Li Qiufeng couldn't help but shudder, wondering if this was the voice of Yu Fan's servant Yu Chengsi?I had just parted from these two people yesterday, but I didn't expect to meet again in this barren mountain and wild ridge today.

But someone sneered and said: "Boy, what are you? I am the Dian Shi of the Xiuwu County Yamen, and you are just a servant of the county magistrate. How dare you speak wild words to my subordinates. Believe it or not, I will go back to Xiuwu Wu County Yamen reported to Huang Zhi County, beat you up, let you know the rules of the Yamen?!"

Li Qiufeng heard that this person claimed to be the official history of the Xiuwu County Yamen, and thought to himself: "I once heard Yu Fan say that he was going to Xiuwu County to be the magistrate. Naturally, the magistrate is the largest in a county. They are the county magistrate, the master book, and the history of the county. The magistrate, the county magistrate, and the master book are the imperial palace, also known as the official, and have the greatest power in the county government. Although the history of the county ranks among the county magistrate, county magistrate, and master After the three people were registered, they belonged to non-influential civil servants, that is, outside the ninth-rank official positions, they were officials without rank. Logically speaking, if there is no rank, they cannot be regarded as officials, at best they can only be "officials". It’s just that after Ming Taizu founded the Ming Dynasty, he repeatedly brought up big cases. In a county, the county magistrate, county magistrate, and chief secretary were often killed, and Dian Shi had to act as the magistrate’s power. However, he held the power of the county yamen. After the death of Taizu, Chengzu succeeded to the throne, and according to the practice of Taizu, as long as the county magistrates, masters, etc. were dismissed or vacant, their responsibilities were concurrently assumed by Dianshi. Therefore The post of Dian Shi was also selected by the Ministry of Officials, signed and appointed by the emperor, and became a justifiable official of the imperial court. Hearing the tone of Dian Shi, he was quite rude to Cheng Si, probably because of the vacancy of the county magistrate in Xiuwu County. Acting as the county magistrate, but when Yu Fan came to the post, he would naturally hand over the power in his hands, and he was unhappy, so he became angry with Chengsi."

While he was thinking about it, he heard someone say in a deep voice: "Chengsi, what Yuan Dianshi said is right. What do you know as a child, you dare to speak nonsense here, why don't you admit your mistake to Yuan Dianshi?!"

Li Qiufeng recognized that it was Yu Fan's voice.After a while, I heard Yu Chengsi say: "Master Yuan, the villain offended you by talking nonsense. I also hope that the prime minister of your old man can hold a boat in his stomach and forgive the sin of the villain. The villain is very grateful."

Yu Chengsi's voice was full of reluctance.But Yuan Dianshi sneered and said: "Don't dare to be. Boy, are you making a mockery of me? I am a small Dianshi, a low-level official, and you actually use the prime minister to mock me. I'll put it on the fire. If this is reported by the villain, even if Huangzhi County understands that I am an old man in the Xiuwu County Yamen and have worked honestly for more than 20 years, but if the Zhifu Yamen finds out and an official document comes down, I will You have to pack up and get out. Don’t you think I’m not pleasing to you, kid, and you want to take my seat in this canon?”

Li Qiufeng heard Yuan Dianshi's sarcasm and sarcasm, and Yu Chengsi was greatly humiliated.He thought to himself: "This young man has a fiery temper, and being robbed so much by Yuan Dianshi, he must be furious."

It was only half a day later, but Yu Chengsi still didn't retort.Li Qiufeng was slightly surprised, presumably it was because Yu Fan suppressed Chengsi, which made him dare not argue with Peng Dianshi again.After a while, Yuan Dianshi sneered and said: "You call me the prime minister. It is said that coming and going is indecent. I see that you are a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister. You came to our Xiuwu County to show off your might. But Let me advise you, although Xiuwu County is high in the sky and the emperor is far away, it is not a place outside the law. If your kid commits a crime, I will take you to see Huang Zhi County first, and let you know what the sky is high and the earth is thick."

He had just finished speaking, but Yu Fan said: "Yuan Dianshi, Chengsi is a child's family, I was not strict in discipline and offended Dianshi, please let Dianshi tolerate this time. I will apologize to you on his behalf."

Yuan Dianshi snorted, and said, "I don't dare to do it. The county magistrate took us to this poor village on his first day in office, what a majesty."

When these people were talking, they had already stopped in their tracks, and they were only five or six feet away from the big tree where Li Qiufeng was hiding, so Li Qiufeng could hear them clearly when they spoke.He thought to himself: "Yu Fan can really hold his breath, and he doesn't turn his face when he is so squeezed by this Yuan, this kind of self-cultivation is really rare." But then he thought again: "I look at Yu Fan, although He is calm, but he is a warm-blooded person, and he will never tolerate such insults. It is likely that he has just arrived in Xiuwu County and has no foundation, so he naturally wants to make a deal with Yuan Dian Shixu. When he has a firm foothold, I am afraid that Yuan Canon history must be bad luck."

Yu Fan said: "The magistrate's daughter was abducted, which can be said to be a huge case. Although I came to the Xiuwu County Yamen for the first time, I must not sit idly by. What's more, when we set off, I once persuaded Brother Yuan not to go with you. It was Brother Yuan who insisted on coming, why did you say that I brought you here at this time?"

Yuan Dianshi was exhausted by Yu Fan's rhetorical question, so he had to sneer, and said: "As a Dianshi, it has always been my duty to catch thieves. Since the magistrate of the county is going out in person, if I don't come, why don't you give someone a handle? At that time, if you sue me in front of the county magistrate, don’t I have to pack up and leave?”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone laughing with him: "My lords, we've been here for a long time. If we don't leave, I'm afraid it will be dawn..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a "slap", as if someone had been slapped in the face.Immediately afterwards, the person who spoke just now heard a cry of pain, and said in a trembling voice: "Master Yuan, the villain did not offend you, why did you slap the villain for no reason?"

But Yuan Dianshi sneered and said: "Okay, seeing that I'm losing power, even you see people ordering dishes, don't you want to arrange me in front of others? I told you that as long as I am in the county government for one day, I will not be as good as you." Good! Unless I am dead..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a "whoosh", followed by a scream from Yuan Dianshi, and fell to the ground with a "plop".

Li Qiufeng was taken aback.But Yu Fan shouted sharply: "The enemy is coming, throw away the torch!"

Only a strange sound was heard, the sound of "Duoduo" was endless, mixed with three or four screams.Presumably someone fired a hidden weapon suddenly and hit several people.The hidden weapon that missed the person hit the tree trunk and made a "duoduo" sound.

Li Qiufeng thought to himself: "Listening to these people's words, I guess I followed Miss Huang to Wangmiao Village. But after entering the woods, I fell into the strange five-element formation set up by Situ Qiao, and bumped into here by mistake. Could it be that Situ Qiao and Master Yuanjue set up an ambush here, and they suddenly killed people?"

He thought of this, but then changed his mind: "Although Situ Qiao has a weird temper, he is not a murderous person. Master Yuanjue is even more compassionate, and will never kill people like this indiscriminately. What's more, Yu Fan and others are on this trip. Although it was to track down Miss Huang, it was just to invite her back to the county government, not to hurt her. Since Miss Huang was walking with Situ Qiao and Master Yuanjue, even if Situ Qiao and Master Yuanjue wanted to kill someone, she would I will do my best to stop it."

While Li Qiufeng was thinking, the sound of hidden weapons breaking through the air suddenly stopped.Only the sound of "huhu" was heard continuously, and footsteps came from all directions.These people attacked with hidden weapons and killed Yuan Dianshi and several others.At this time, he no longer concealed his whereabouts, and even swaggered to surround him from all sides.

Li Qiufeng's heart trembled, and as soon as his thoughts moved, his body rose up from the ground without a sound, and flew straight to the top of the tree.In a blink of an eye, he had jumped onto a branch more than two feet high, and then he lowered his head and looked down.I saw dozens of torches lit all around, forcing Yu Fan and others to hide from all directions.

Seeing that two torches stopped suddenly not far from the big tree where Li Qiufeng was hiding, Li Qiufeng thought to himself: "Oops, these two people probably found the footprints I left behind."

When he was thinking about how to deal with it, he only heard two "swish", two black lights flew out from the two torches, and hit the big tree where Li Qiufeng was hiding.Under the light of the torch, the two black lights were spinning rapidly, which was definitely not an ordinary hidden weapon.

Li Qiufeng's heart trembled, he was no stranger to this kind of black hidden weapon.When the Yagyu clan killed people, they used exactly this kind of cross-shaped hidden weapon.The hidden weapon is smeared with highly poisonous poison, whoever hits it will die instantly, it is extremely powerful.
