Chapter 1955 The Joy of Life
The thieves sat down as if nothing had happened, and the waiter enthusiastically recommended special dishes to them. The thieves carefully ordered some local specialties.

Ding Sanniang smiled and said to Feng Jiuxiao: "If you don't have any instructions, I will leave."

Feng Jiuxiao said: "Okay, you go ahead and do your work."

Ding Sanniang smiled and nodded slightly, then turned and left. When her figure disappeared at the stairs, La Jiao said, "Miss, I feel that Mr. Liu Si is very strange."

Yuan Zishan asked: "How is it so strange?"

La Jiao said: "Miss, when I go out with you for so many years, no matter where we go, everyone who gets close to you will take a few glances at you! This Mr. Liu Si didn't even look at you from beginning to end!" Yuan Zishan rolled her eyes at her, as if blaming her for "showing off"!
What does "no one doesn't take a second look" mean? Isn't it just a disguised way of praising Miss Yuan's unparalleled beauty, which attracts heroes all over the world?
Pang Shiwu said, "Perhaps it was because my sister-in-law had a veil on her face that Liu Si didn't notice her beauty!" He could both go along with La Jiao and flatter my sister-in-law, so why not? Pang Shiwu almost indulged himself, sighing that he was really talented!
"Hmph!" Feng Jiuxiao sneered, "Even if your sister-in-law covered her face, she couldn't hide her beauty! In fact, that guy secretly looked at your sister-in-law at least four times! But he pretended not to look at her! He is just like Liu Changfeng, hypocritical and cunning! He thought he did it perfectly without anyone noticing, but he didn't know that in my eyes, he was as naked as a naked body!"

You dare to peek at my wife? I will punish you!

The dragon's reverse scale will kill anyone who touches it!
Yuan Zishan frowned slightly and said, "I also noticed when he was peeking at me. But his gaze was so fleeting that when you wanted to catch him in the act, his eyes were already looking somewhere else! He's really cunning!"

Chang Zijin said with some worry: "It's a pity that Miss Li, a young girl who is not very experienced in the world, was attracted by the handsome appearance of Mr. Liu Si! Didn't you see how her heart was moved? Now, if we try to persuade her to leave Mr. Liu Si again, she will definitely regard us as villains!"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "Fate is determined by heaven! Good people will be blessed by heaven! Let's eat first, and then go. Liu Si will not take action so quickly! At least his father should greet Li Xiuyuan for a while!"

Chili said: "Is Miss Li really in danger?"

Feng Jiuxiao nodded.

Chili said: "Is she really going to die?"

Feng Jiuxiao nodded.

La Jiao was still a little skeptical, "That Fourth Young Master Liu just looks like Liu Changfeng. Could he really be Liu Changfeng's brother?"

Feng Jiuxiao glanced around and said softly, "There will always be a time to ride on the wind and waves, and set sail to cross the vast ocean!"

Chili was startled, "What do you mean?"

Feng Jiuxiao raised his right hand and gave a thumbs up, "Boss Changfeng!"

Then he extended his index finger: "Old two breaks the waves."

Then he bent his thumb and extended his index, middle and ring fingers; "Old Third Yunfan!"

Then he extended his little finger: "Old Four Canghai!"

Not only La Jiao was stunned, but Zeng Yong and others were also stunned!
Yuan Zishan said softly: "Those Tibetans mentioned these four names. If nothing goes wrong, these are the names of the four brothers of the Liu family!"

La Jiao's eyes widened. "In other words, Liu Canghai is really Liu Changfeng's younger brother?"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "Yes! I was 90% sure just now, now I am 100% sure! He is it!"

Pang Shiwu said: "I didn't expect Liu Changfeng's hometown is actually here!"

Feng Jiuxiao's eyes flickered, "Liu Changfeng can become the first of the four adopted sons of the Demon Lord, the Liu family must have something that the Demon Lord is interested in!"

Yuan Zishan said: "Could it be that the Demon Lord has taken a fancy to Liu Changfeng?"

"What do you like about him? Liu Changfeng's physique is good, but it's not amazing! The Demon Lord chose Liu Changfeng not because of Liu Changfeng himself, but most likely because of the Liu family!"

"Liu family? What would that be? Human resources? Material resources? Financial resources? Power? For a small border town like this, the pond is too small to support a giant!"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "Perhaps, the Liu family moved here later!"

Yuan Zishan asked: "Why did they move here?"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "How would I know? It is possible that he is carrying out some secret mission for the Demon Cult."

Yuan Zishan said: "Now that the Demon Lord is dead, the disciples of the Demon Cult have long since scattered like birds and beasts. Does the Liu family still dare to act against the will of heaven and stir up trouble?"

"They definitely won't dare to do things openly anymore, but that won't affect their actions in secret! The remnants of the evil cult are all over the world, they just need to keep wearing the masks of disguise, and they will most likely die!

"Although the Demon Lord is dead, the Dharma King of Light is still here. Before long, she will raise the banner and the Demon Cult will reappear in the world!"

"It's okay! The Light Dharma King is not as perverted as the Demon Lord. He won't enjoy slaughtering people!"

"I know you and the Dharma King have made a pact. You support her in unifying the Demon Sect, and she promises you that she will never again offend the Central Plains martial arts world. But what I'm worried about is that once the banner of the Demon Sect is raised again, members of the Demon Sect all over the world will be ready to move, dreaming of restoring their former glory. What if they join hands and force the Dharma King to repeat the same mistakes?"

"Since the Dharma Queen dared to regroup and unify the Demon Sect, she must have considered all aspects! She will definitely eliminate the hidden dangers brought by the Demon Lord's old subordinates one by one! For example, she will first divide and disintegrate the alliance of various factions, and then defeat them one by one! If you can talk to each other, then talk to each other. If you can't talk to each other, it doesn't matter. She also knows a little bit of boxing!"

If we can’t reach an agreement, then don’t talk! If you don’t accept the toast, then drink the wine! If reasoning doesn’t work, then use fists to make you understand the truth!
Pang Shiwu said: "That's right, the obedient ones will stay, and the disobedient ones will be killed! They are not allowed to leave! Unifying the Demon Sect, it's easy!"

Yuan Zishan said with a smile: "It's easy to unify the Demon Sect? That's just what you think! Will Miss Xiong of the Demon Island submit to the Light Dharma King? What about Duanmu Yan of Yedi Zhai? Will he submit? If nothing unexpected happens, Duanmu Yan will definitely follow Miss Xiong's lead and fight against the Light Dharma King together! It may be easy for the Dharma King to deal with the Demon Lord's old subordinates, but how easy is it to make the masters of the Demon Island and Yedi Zhai return to their hearts?!"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "The mutual restraint between the demon sects has given the Central Plains martial arts world time to recover! This period of time should be the best time for the Central Plains martial arts world!"

Yuan Zishan said, "I have a concern! The Dharma King of Light is not young anymore. Even if she can restrain the disciples of the Demon Sect from committing crimes against the Central Plains Wulin, what will happen after a hundred years? In other words, what if someone becomes ambitious and assassinates her and steals the position of the Sect Leader? What should we do then?"

Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said, "Then let's form the Demon Slayer Alliance again!"

After the food and wine were served, Feng Jiuxiao said, "Come on, you must be hungry, let's eat. Fifteen, stop drinking, let's have some food and then hurry up. Brother Zeng, you can arrange accommodation for everyone and stay here with Brother Wolf."

Zeng Yong said reluctantly, "Okay."

Big Wolf was not so disappointed: "Since there is nothing for me to do, I will drink some wine!"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "Of course, you drink first, and we will continue drinking when we come back later."

Not long after, Feng Jiuxiao glanced at Pang Shiwu, who quickly took another piece of beef and stuffed it into his mouth, then puffed his cheeks and said, "Let's go!"

Seeing Feng Jiuxiao and Pang Shiwu, one white and one black, leave the table, the Eight Thieves looked at each other in bewilderment.

The second oldest, the Thousand Faces Young Master Painted Skin Fairy, said, "How about I go over and take a look?"

The eldest, the White Ape Immortal who Walks Without Traces on Snow, said, "If anyone is going to go, I should go. Your Qinggong is not as good as mine. What if they find you?"

The Eighth Judge of Death, Yin Yang Xian, is the brain trust of the team. He said leisurely: "Why do we have to follow them? Is it necessary?"

The White Ape Immortal said, "That's right. There's no point in following them. If they want to do something big, they will definitely go out. It's impossible for them to be just two people. I guess we'll know what they've been doing when they come back."

The old lady, Lady Baibao, Naxuxian, suddenly showed a strange smile and said, "Although Diexi Town is small, there are so many rich people!"

The eldest, the White Ape Immortal, who walks without leaving any trace in the snow, said, "What's wrong? Are you itching to do something?" The sixth, the Divine Machine Boy Linglong Immortal, said with a smile, "Brother, there is gold everywhere here. If you don't take what heaven has given you, you will suffer the consequences!"

The White Ape Immortal said: "Then go check out the place later!"

Linglongxian smiled and said, "Why should we go to any of these places? I've already visited most of them along the way, so we can just go through them one by one. There are so many restaurants and shops here. They may not look special, but the merchants coming in and out are all truly wealthy people! Those merchants must be doing well, and their cash boxes must be full!"

The fifth soul-stealing scholar, the heart-stirring immortal, said, "Since the sixth has already stepped on it, it proves that there is no problem! Let's drink first!"

Chang Zijin at another table asked Zeng Yong in a low voice: "Brother Zeng, a few people over there said they had visited the place. How did they do it? Don't they have to go there in person to investigate?" As she spoke, she waved her sleeves and set up an invisible barrier around them, blocking out the sound!
Zeng Yong continued in a low voice: "This shows that the man has a very good eye and is very observant. He is also very smart and experienced. He can judge the level of the merchants from their clothes, accessories, words and deeds. Is he a small rich, a medium rich, or a very rich man!"

Erni came close to Zeng Yong and whispered, "What are you two talking about in such a low voice?"

Zeng Yong put his mouth close to her ear and whispered, "We are talking about the eight people at that table. Those eight people thought they spoke in a low voice and no one else could hear them, but they didn't expect that Miss Chang and I heard their conversation clearly."

Erni smiled and said, "But they can't hear what you two say, which seems a bit unfair." Chang Zijin set up a small isolated world, and Erni was already accustomed to it! So she knew that outsiders should not be able to hear the voices of the people here!

Zeng Yong laughed and said, "What's the point of talking about fairness with bad guys? Talking about fairness to bad guys is bullying good people!"

At this time, a bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the sky is filled with stars. The moon is still the same, but the person looking at the moon is different.

Under the moonlight, Feng Jiuxiao and Pang Shiwu walked slowly towards the Liu Mansion.

All I had to do was pay an ingot of silver and make up an excuse, and the waiter happily told me the location of the Liu family's old house!
Even the number of willow trees and sycamore trees outside the door were clearly and explicitly described!
Feng Jiuxiao looked up at the moon, which was curved like a hook.

"I don't know how the Zhou Dynasty is doing now. The Song army should have reached Jinyang by now and launched an offensive. I wonder if the Han army can withstand it."

Pang Shiwu said with disdain, "Needless to say, the fighting power of the Northern Han soldiers is definitely not good. It is estimated that their fighting power is about the same as that of the Southern Tang soldiers. They will definitely not be able to withstand the attack of the Luoyang Tiger! How fierce is the Luoyang Tiger!"

Feng Jiuxiao looked solemn: "But with the support of Khitan, we may be able to hold on for a while."

Pang Shiwu disagreed a little: "The Khitans are all cavalry, which gives them an advantage in positional warfare. The Song army is now fighting a siege war, what's the use of those cavalry? If they all run to the top of the city, it's such a small place, they can't even run, isn't that asking for trouble?"

Feng Jiuxiao asked, "Who told the cavalry to charge towards the top of the city? Won't they charge in from outside the city?"

Pang Shiwu immediately slapped his forehead and said, "Yes, they don't have to stay in the city. If they wait for an opportunity to charge from outside the city, and then rush from behind when the Song army attacks the city, the Song army will be in trouble!"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "Forget it, let's leave it to fate!"

The moon is curved like a hook.

Under the moonlight, the walls of Jinyang city are as majestic as a giant beast dominating the earth!
On the top of the city wall, Liu Miezhou's eyelids suddenly twitched and he glanced at the crescent moon in the sky!
He sighed, "I wonder where Jiuxiao and the others are now."

Yang Ye looked at Liu Miezhou's state and knew that he suddenly remembered his old friend!

Suddenly, the sound of hurried horse hooves and the bumpy sound of heavy objects being dragged were heard in the distance below the city!
Under the dim starlight, nearly a hundred cavalrymen were seen forming three rows and rushing towards the city!
Two people form a group, and fifty groups form a row!
Each group of cavalry was dragging a log behind them. The log rolled and bounced violently on the ground, but it never deviated from the general direction.

Liu Miezhou frowned, "I didn't expect that there is an expert in the Song army who actually thought of this trick!"

Rolling logs break thunder!

When the cavalry was about to rush to the boundary drawn in advance by Lin Yongpeng, he suddenly let go of the rope in his hand, and the log maintained its momentum and rushed forward!

Because it is a log, it can roll forward with almost no hindrance! It is extremely fast and has a strong momentum!
After the cavalry in front loosened the ropes, they split into two sides, making way for the following cavalry!

When the cavalry in the second row were about to reach the boundary, they suddenly loosened the ropes, allowing the log to maintain its inertia and roll forward!
I saw one log after another rolling forward rapidly!
boom!
boom!
boom!
The rolling log in front finally triggered the landmine. There was a flash of fire, thunder, dust, and the rolling log was reduced to ashes!

The log in front had just been blown into pieces, and the log behind had already crossed the crater and continued to rush forward, then triggered the mine behind, and then also exploded into pieces!
The rolling logs come one after another, continuously and one after another!
Sacrifice yourself and detonate the opponent.

Three rows of cavalry threw out three long dragons of rolling logs, and in an instant they created three "safe passages" in the death minefield!
The last three logs rolled and jumped all the way to about ten feet outside the city gate before completing their respective missions in a flash of fire.

Ten feet away, very close to the city gate!
Lin Yongpeng, who was watching from a distance, said: "It's about the same as I estimated. Ten more logs will be enough." In fact, only two logs are needed to open a safe passage, and six logs can open three safe passages!

Liu Yu said: "But if we want to push the rolling log forward another ten feet, our cavalry's stopping line must also be moved forward ten feet, which is just within the range of the enemy's crossbows..."

Lin Yongpeng said expressionlessly: "If you want to succeed, you must go crazy first! There must be brave men under a big reward! Give orders to organize a death squad. Those who can throw the log under the city gate will be the first to climb and capture the flag!"

Liu Yu said: "Okay!"

Yang Ye on the top of the city wall was a little anxious: "Your Majesty, if they do this, won't our mines be buried in vain?"

Liu Miezhou said: "It's not in vain, at least it can paralyze the opponent!"

Yang Ye said: "I am a stupid official, I don't know what the emperor means by this."

Liu Miezhou said: "The Song army broke through our minefield. The short-term victory will make them proud! They will look down on us! Therefore, they will speed up the process of placing explosives under the city gate!"

"Why is the emperor so sure that they will place explosives under the city gate?"

"Because when some Song soldiers were blown away just now, something like a bamboo tube fell off their bodies. That thing is not a toy! According to the Song army, it is a blasting tube!"

"Exploding tube? Your Majesty's eyesight is excellent! Even in such dim light and such a small object, Your Majesty can still see it! My eyesight is not so good! In this night, I am even more blind and can't see anything clearly! How can Your Majesty be so sure that the bamboo tube is a blasting tube?"

"Because - I have seen it before! Someone used it when the Song army attacked Southern Tang! I am very familiar with the person who first came up with this idea!"

"Oh, I wonder which master it is?"

"He's not some expert! He's a general! He used to be a general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and now he's a general of the Great Song Dynasty! Tsk tsk, he's a general wherever he goes, isn't that amazing?"

"Great! Which general is he?"

"The surname is Lin, Yong on top and Peng on the bottom!"

"Lin Yongpeng? I think I've heard of this name before!"

"He was once a mad general among the four generals under the command of General Wei Qingyun of the Great Zhou Dynasty! Now he is a general of the Great Song Dynasty!"

"Oh, speaking of the Four Generals of Fengyun, I remember now! I heard that this mad general is particularly crazy when he fights! Once he gets angry, he is as powerful as a mad tiger and no one can stop him! I admire him very much!"

Liu Miezhou's eyes gradually turned cold, and he sneered: "You have to admire him! He is not only good at fighting, but also good at being an official! I heard that he is now the deputy commander-in-chief of the palace. His high status and power are only half a level lower than Zhao Kuangyin in the past!" In the past, Zhao Kuangyin was the commander-in-chief of the palace! A full-time position!
Yang Ye was stunned for a moment. He had already heard the emperor's dissatisfaction with Lin Yongpeng!
Liu Miezhou looked at Yang Ye with a blank expression: "Lin Yongpeng is willing to help others in order to climb up the ladder! He saw with his own eyes that his friend's wife was taken away by someone else but he was indifferent! He has a special status and it is difficult for him to take action. This is human nature and understandable! However, pretending to be stupid and deliberately concealing the news is a typical case of forgetting loyalty for the sake of profit! This kind of person is ruthless and righteous. Tell me, even if he climbs higher, what fun is there in that?"

Yang Ye's eyelids twitched, and he forced a smile, "Perhaps for people like him, climbing up is the only pleasure in life!"

Thank you Yudong for your strong support and encouragement!
