A knife in love

Chapter 67

Xu Yingyang said: "Master Yu, how did you get here?"

Yu Changyuan had a showdown with Xu Yingyang the day before yesterday, and now he no longer concealed it, and immediately told Xu Yingyang the purpose of his trip.Xu Yingyang pondered for a moment, and said: "Since Master Yu wants to make this deal, Xu is willing to help..."

Yu Changyuan was overjoyed, and said: "Master Xu is willing to help, that's the best. Now we have arrived at Lianhua Mountain, and we have the map in hand. This transaction only makes money, and we will make a fortune together. If Master Xu still wants to Being an official, spending a lot of money, I am afraid that the commander of Jinyiwei is also in the pocket of Master Xu. At that time, we brothers will need Master Xu to take care of us."

Xu Yingyang said: "Master Yu, do you know why I left the old Gu's shop the day before yesterday?"

Although Yu Changyuan had some doubts in his heart, he still had a smile on his face, and said, "Master Xu left the inn for his own reasons, how dare we guess?"

Xu Yingyang said: "The identity of that white-clothed woman is very suspicious, so Xu chased after her. It's just that things happened in a hurry, and I didn't have time to say hello to everyone. It's just that Xu didn't go far, and was immediately chased by the Taishan sect. Intercepting, Xu killed several Taishan sect disciples, but because of this fetter, the woman in white disappeared. Xu chased all the way, and encountered several groups of people intercepting and killing him on the way, but he never found the woman. A woman in white. Later, when I arrived near Lianhua Mountain, this kid suddenly made a surprise attack. The sword in his hand cut the iron like mud, and cut off Xu's long sword. I fought and retreated here. Fortunately, I met several villa owners Otherwise, Xu will be ashamed this time."

Standing on the hillside, Li Qiufeng could hear Xu Yingyang's words clearly.He thought to himself: "Xu Yingyang's words are not clear, and there are many concealments. These people appear to be friendly, but they have their own ghosts. They are not the kind to get along with."

Yu Changyuan and the others made a few words of humility, and then walked up the slope with Xu Yingyang.When Xu Yingyang saw Li Qiufeng, he couldn't help being slightly startled, and said, "Isn't this Mr. Li? Why are you here?"

Li Qiufeng clasped his hands and said, "Master Xu, Li is no longer a Jinyiwei. I am ashamed of the word 'Master'."

Yu Changyuan said on the side: "Brother Li has long agreed to do this business together, and I hope Master Xu will take care of you."

Xu Yingyang stared at Li Qiufeng and said: "I heard that brother Li also took away a felon from the prison, where is that person now?"

Before Li Qiufeng could answer, Yan Dufei had already stepped forward, took off the human skin mask with his right hand, and said, "The felon is here, Master Xu still wants to arrest me?"

Xu Yingyang said: "It really is you! Mr. Yan, are you all right?"

Yan Dufei said: "It's easy to say, thanks to Mr. Xu, Yan is not dead yet."

That day Yan Dufei was captured by Yang Zhenzhong, and Xu Yingyang also went to the prison to try Yan Dufei.It's just that he has always been the confidant of Yun Feiyang, the deputy commander of Jinyiwei, and Yang Zhenzhong strictly ordered the guards not to let Yun Feiyang interfere in this matter.Therefore, although Xu Yingyang arrived at the sky prison, he was stopped by the guards outside.

Yu Changyuan laughed and said: "Brothers, we are all sitting in the same boat today, and the grievances and grievances of the past will be wiped out. Everyone must work together now. If this deal is made, it will be wind and rain. Get rain, endless joy, ha ha, ha ha."

At this time, it was completely dark, and Yu Changyuan ordered that no fire should be lit. Zhuang Ding had already brought dry food, and everyone ate it hastily.Yu Changyuan said: "Tonight we will explore the imperial tomb at night. It's just that the defenders of the imperial tomb must be heavily guarded in the first half of the night. We can rest in the first half of the night and enter the imperial tomb after midnight."

Everyone breaks up and rests.Li Qiufeng was lying on a big rock by the cliff, listening to the waves of pines, he felt mixed feelings in his heart, the past flashed before his eyes one by one, and he did not know when he fell into a deep sleep.

When he woke up, he saw that Yu Changyuan and others had already woken up and were busy packing their things.Seeing Li Qiufeng sitting up, Yan Dufei nodded to him and said, "It's time to go, let's get ready to go!"

When Yu Changyuan saw that everyone was finished, he said in a low voice: "Let's set off now, the second child will lead the way, everyone must be careful. If you encounter the defenders of the Imperial Tomb, try not to do anything, and find a place to hide from them. If we get separated, we will come back here to gather together.”

Zhuang Hengyun led the way first, Yu Changyuan and others followed, and the Zhuang Ding of Wuhu Villa stayed where they were and waited for news.Zhuang Hengyun has been spying on the imperial mausoleum for many years, and he has already found out a secret passage.This road goes north first, turns to the east after arriving at the peak on the north side of Lianhua Mountain, and then goes directly to Kangling, the mausoleum of Emperor Zhengde.

The seven of them are all masters of martial arts. Although it was in the middle of the night, they were still jumping up and down. In less than an hour, they had crossed the north peak of Lianhua Mountain and arrived outside the red wall of Kangling.At this time, it was late at night, under the sky full of stars, the tall red wall stood in front of everyone, and when they looked up, they could see the dark shadow of the palace.The mountain wind blows, and the sound of gongs and drums can be faintly heard.

Yu Changyuan said in a low voice, "Does the defenders of the imperial tomb still beat drums and gongs at night?"

Zhuang Hengyun said: "Brother, don't be alarmed, this was not knocked by people. There is a drum tower in the imperial mausoleum, with golden gongs and big drums hanging on it, and people are ordered to beat it every time there is a big sacrifice. What we heard is that the wind blows to the drums sound from above."

Seven people gathered under the red wall, Yu Changyuan said: "The place marked on Brother Yan's map is on the northwest corner of Kangling. We are now in the west direction of Kangling. After entering the imperial tomb in a while, Let's follow the second child to the north. Remember to avoid fighting with the guards of the imperial tomb, so as not to overwhelm the enemy. We are seeking money, not fighting in the rivers and lakes, everyone must keep it in mind."

Everyone nodded in agreement, Zhuang Hengyun jumped up onto the wall with a light jerk, looked around for a while, and then said in a low voice: "Brother, bring everyone up!"

Everyone used their lightness kung fu to jump up to the top of the wall, but there was a big open space inside the wall, and there were several palaces in the distance, but not a single tree.The entire imperial mausoleum was dark, without any lights.Zhuang Hengyun said in a low voice: "The imperial mausoleum guards are divided into 24 teams, and there are two teams patrolling around every hour. We need to be careful to avoid them."

After Zhuang Hengyun finished speaking, he put his right hand on the top of the wall, jumped off the red wall, and landed lightly in the courtyard.The remaining six people also jumped into the hospital.Zhuang Hengyun led the way and walked north along the red wall.When everyone landed on the ground, they found that the open space was paved with large pieces of bluestone, which was smooth and tidy, without even a single weed.

While walking, Zhuang Hengyun suddenly stopped, waved his right hand lightly, and everyone hurriedly fell to the ground.I saw a flash of fire not far away, but saw two groups of people coming from the west and east.Each of these two teams has 24 people, each with a steel knife hanging from his waist and a torch in his hand.The two teams met in front of a palace, but they didn't stop, walking staggered.Hearing the rattling of boots, they each walked south along the clearing, and soon disappeared behind another palace.

Seeing that the guards had gone far away, Zhuang Hengyun stood up and continued to lead the crowd northward.This time, after walking not far away, a wing room appeared in front of the eyes, blocking in front of the seven people in darkness.Zhuang Hengyun said in a low voice: "Passing through this wing, you will not be far from the emperor's mausoleum."

Yu Changyuan asked in a low voice: "Second brother, when you came here, was there anyone in this room?"

Zhuang Hengyun said: "This is the room where things are placed during sacrifices. Usually no one lives there. The guards of the imperial tomb live outside the front hall, far away. But after passing this wing room is the back hall, which is the burial hall. The emperor's tomb, there are guards on duty all day long, and the defense is extremely tight. I haven't dared to approach it all these years, everyone needs to be careful..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard someone coughing.

The seven people were taken aback. In this dark night, someone suddenly coughed, and it was like a thunderbolt to everyone's ears.The seven people looked at each other in blank dismay, while hesitating, they saw that the lights in the wing room were turned on, and a figure appeared on the window, standing up from the cloak.

Yu Changyuan was shocked, and said to Zhuang Hengyun in a low voice: "Second brother, what's going on?"

Zhuang Hengyun was also shocked, shook his head and said: "I have come here often these years, and I have never seen anyone in the house..." When he said this, he saw that the figure on the window had already put on his clothes and seemed to be about to go out.Before he could say more, he gently pulled Yu Changyuan, and then tiptoed to the wall, where there were four large vats, and everyone followed and hid behind the large vats.

Li Qiufeng, Yan Dufei, and Xu Yingyang hid behind a big vat, and Yan Dufei wondered, "Why are there so many big vats here?"

Li Qiufeng and Xu Yingyang have been in the palace for a long time, so they naturally know that this big tank is usually used to store water, and once a fire breaks out in the palace, the water in the tank will be used to extinguish the fire.The architectural pattern of the imperial mausoleum is quite similar to that of the imperial palace, and even the big vats are made of gourds in the same way.It's just that at this critical juncture, neither of them opened their mouths to explain to Yan Dufei.
