A knife in love

Chapter 791

Li Qiufeng remained silent, as if he was thinking about something.Situ Qiao didn't know why he didn't speak suddenly, and was about to ask, but saw a figure flickering under the stone wall, followed by a line of torches, and walked towards the hiding place of the two.

Situ Qiao was both surprised and delighted.Surprisingly, looking from a distance, there are forty or fifty of these torches, which means that there are at least four or fifty people under the stone wall.The joy is to see the direction in which these torches are moving, presumably they are going down the mountain.As long as these people evacuate, Li Qiufeng and himself can go up to the top of the stone wall and go to Wuji Temple to look for Yunxuan and others.He knew that if these people were Jin Yiwei, they must all be masters of martial arts, so he no longer dared to poke his head out to watch, but pressed his body tightly behind the tree, not even daring to breathe out.

I could only hear footsteps from far to near, and finally, the crackling sound of the torch burning seemed to be two or three feet away.Situ Qiao was extremely nervous and held his breath, hoping that these people would leave soon.

The sound of footsteps passed not far from the woods, moved towards the direction of the water pool, gradually drifted away, and finally could not be heard anymore.Only the mountain wind blows through the trees, making a palpitating whimper.

After half a stick of incense, Situ Qiao heard no more noises from all around, so he poked his head out quietly.It was pitch black, and there was no longer any light from the torch.He was overjoyed, and said to Li Qiufeng: "Brother Li, it's good now. It seems that these bastards have already gone down the mountain, let's go to Wuji Temple now."

At this time, it was dark all around, and although the two were extremely close to each other, Situ Qiao could only see the vague shadow of Li Qiufeng.But after he finished speaking, Li Qiufeng still didn't speak.

Situ Qiao was surprised, and was about to say more, but Li Qiufeng said, "They already know we're here. If that's the case, why don't you go out dignifiedly and see which official has arrived here."

Situ Qiao was startled, and said in a trembling voice, "Brother Li, aren't you joking? These people have already gone down the mountain..."

Li Qiufeng said in a deep voice: "They didn't go down the mountain, but they knew we were nearby, so they pretended to go down the mountain, but in fact they went to cut off our retreat. There must be people ambushing up and down the stone wall, not far from us. The pool, there are piranhas in the pool, so naturally we can’t cross it. This forest is not big, and there is a cliff at the end. They have already trapped us back and forth, and they are about to catch the turtle.”

Situ Qiao said tremblingly: "We have walked all the way, but we didn't find anyone ambushing, how could we leak the whereabouts?"

Li Qiufeng said: "The strange thing is that we didn't find anyone ambushing. Now that Jin Yiwei has arrived at Wuji Temple, how can he not set up eyeliners around? They must be hiding in the high places around Wuji Temple, secretly monitoring the road to Wuji Temple. These people are far away from us, so we can't find where they are hiding. But they can find our whereabouts, and they will notify our companions in Wuji Temple. If my guess is right, I am afraid that they have already ambushed under the stone wall the archers."

Thinking of Jin Yiwei's methods, Situ Qiao was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a moment.Li Qiufeng said: "But you don't have to worry, Mr. Situ. When Jin Yiwei doesn't show up, it is undoubtedly very scary. But if these people show up, hehe, with our skills, it is not difficult to escape Look at the four or fifty people who walked down the mountain just now, and the number of enemies ambushing under the stone wall is likely to be no less than this number. The surrounding area is pitch black. Although these hundred and ten people are numerous and powerful, they are far less agile than you and me. .If we start fighting, we will go down the mountain separately. In this dark mountain, they can't stop us even if they want to."

Hearing what Li Qiufeng said, Situ Qiao felt a little relieved.Li Qiufeng continued: "When I think of a way to lure the ambush Jin Yiwei to show up, I don't have to be afraid of them."

He hadn't finished speaking when he heard someone shouting loudly: "Is Li Baihu here?"

Li Qiufeng's heart trembled, and Situ Qiao was even more taken aback. He said in a trembling voice, "Who is this man?"

Li Qiufeng said in a deep voice, "Xu Yingyang."

After he finished speaking, he pondered for a while, and said to Situ Qiao in a low voice: "Since Xu Yingyang has arrived, we don't need to hide. If we start to make a move in a while, Mr. Situ will find an opportunity to leave first."

When Li Qiufeng said this, he untied the burden on his body, handed it to Situ Qiao, and said, "This is the head of Emperor Guan. Please also ask Mr. Situ to bring it back to the Temple of the Holy King of Emperor Guan in Luoyang. It is best to bring Emperor Guan The secret door of the mausoleum is sealed tightly, lest someone accidentally break in and be disrespectful to the ancestors."

Situ Qiao knew the power of Li Qiufeng, and knew that if he used his hands, he would only drag Li Qiufeng down.Therefore, he did not refuse. After taking over the burden, he carefully carried it on his body and said, "Brother Li, don't worry, I will handle this matter thoroughly."

Li Qiufeng nodded, then went out from behind the tree, and said loudly: "I didn't expect to meet Mr. Xu here, how lucky is it?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw countless torches suddenly lit up tens of feet away, illuminating the surrounding area with light.Situ Qiao followed behind Li Qiufeng, startled by the flames.Seeing that the torches stretched from under the stone wall to the edge of the pool, there were no less than four or five hundred torches, several times more than the two initially expected. How could Situ Qiao not be surprised?

Li Qiufeng stopped in his tracks and said with a smile: "Unexpectedly, Mr. Xu brought so many people to Yuntai Mountain."

But I saw a person coming out from the opposite side. By the light of the torch, I saw that this person was wearing a black gauze hat and a white robe, with a five-clawed python embroidered on his chest and a jade belt around his waist.A long face expressionless, who is it not Xu Yingyang?

When Li Qiufeng was working in Jinyiwei, although he knew that Xu Yingyang was a master of Fusi in Beizhen, the two had never had any contact.Moreover, there are many masters in Beizhen Fusi, Xu Yingyang is not very famous among them.Until Li Qiufeng was ordered by Yang Zhenzhong to pretend to be persuaded by Yan Dufei, and rescued Yan Dufei from the dungeon, and wanted to go to the imperial mausoleum together to steal treasures. Go to Babao Lotus Mountain.At that time, Yu Changyuan and others thought that Xu Yingyang was Yun Feiyang's confidant, but later Li Qiufeng discovered that this person's whereabouts were strange, and it turned out to be Yang Zhenzhong's eyeliner planted beside Yun Feiyang.However, there was no conflict between Li Qiufeng and Xu Yingyang, and the two hadn't seen each other since they left Yong'an City.Unexpectedly, at this moment, Xu Yingyang actually arrived at Yuntai Mountain.

Seeing Xu Yingyang walking slowly in front of him, Li Qiufeng clasped his fists and said, "Master Xu invites you."

Xu Yingyang bowed his hand to return the salute, and said: "Li Baihu, Xu has been waiting for you here for two days and two nights, and you finally showed up tonight, Xu finally did not come to Yuntai Mountain in vain."

As soon as he said this, Li Qiufeng and Situ Qiao's hearts trembled.Li Qiufeng said: "It seems that Mr. Xu wants Li to be charged with killing Wuji Taoists."

Xu Yingyang still had a dull face, shook his head, and said in his mouth: "This crime is not yours, let alone you can't carry it."

Li Qiufeng was stunned, and said: "Then why is Master Xu waiting for me here?"

Xu Yingyang said: "It wasn't that Xu was waiting here. It's just that Mr. Yang had something important to do, so he had to rush back to the capital first. Before he left, he asked Xu to stay here. If he saw Li Baihu , I have a few words to say to Li Baihu."

Li Qiufeng was startled when he heard that the epicenter of Yang had also arrived at Wuji Temple.He thought to himself, could it be possible that Yang Zhenzhong, the Commander of Jin Yiwei, could do it himself?Although Zhu Yuanzhang colluded with the Mongolian and Yuan courts and famous decent sects to exterminate the Demon Cult in Yuntai Mountain, it is not a good thing for the Ming court to spread the word.It's just that more than 100 years have passed since this incident, and those who knew about it have long since died.Although the various sects sent Wuji Temple, Xiaoyao Temple and Kongming Temple to guard Yuntai Mountain, they definitely kept this matter secret.I'm afraid that the leaders of the various sects don't know that the three parties joined forces back then, which defeated the Demon Cult.For an old event more than 100 years ago, Jin Yiwei actually destroyed Wuji Temple, Xiaoyao Temple and Kongming Temple in one fell swoop. With Yang Zhenzhong's resourcefulness, it is hard to believe that he would do such an unwise thing.

Seeing Li Qiufeng groaning silently, Xu Yingyang continued, "Master Yang said that the fires in Wuji Temple, Xiaoyao Temple, and Kongming Temple were really due to the number of days and were not caused by humans. The imperial court was sympathetic to the dead, and the Luoyang government allocated silver taels." , take care of the aftermath. Li Baihu has many entanglements with Wuji Temple, but everyone in the temple has died, and this matter is over, so Li Baihu doesn't have to worry about it."

Li Qiufeng was startled, looked at Xu Yingyang and said, "There are three to four hundred people in Wuji Temple, so they died for nothing?"

Xu Yingyang said: "Life and death are originally a matter of an instant. This is determined by God and cannot be done by manpower."

When he said this, he took two steps forward, only three feet away from Li Qiufeng.Situ Qiao's heart shuddered, and the steel claw was already put on his right hand.

Xu Yingyang stared into Li Qiufeng's eyes, suddenly smiled strangely, lowered his voice and said: "All people in Wuji Temple have their own way of taking death, and Li Baihu knows better than Xu. Xu knows that Li Baihu thinks it is Jinyiwei No matter how powerful Jin Yiwei is, he still doesn't have the ability to foretell. He can know that Li Baihu will have entanglements with Wuji Temple. Mr. Yang went to Henan a few days ago to work, and just heard about it, so he arrived at Yuntai Mountain , has nothing to do with this fire."

When Xu Yingyang said this, he paused for a while, and then said: "Everything has its withering glory, just like trees and grasses, they grow in spring, flourish in summer, decline in autumn, and die in winter. Sometimes life is life. To die, to die is to live. Li Baihu is an extremely intelligent person, so it's possible that he doesn't understand this truth?"

Li Qiufeng's heart moved, his eyebrows raised, and he was about to speak, but Xu Yingyang had already retreated a few steps, cupped his hands at Li Qiufeng and said: "Xu has finished what Mr. Yang wants to say. The Wuji Temple has been burned to a white ground , the remains of the victims have been properly placed, and Li Baihu does not need to go up to the mountain to check in person. There are many strange fish in this pool, their teeth are like swords. In order not to kill the lives of the people, the governor of Henan Province will send people here soon , to kill all these strange fish in the lake. The two of you should not get close to the water pool, or you may be injured by the strange fish.
