After hearing this, Qi Mutian said thoughtfully: "Since this is the case, then Du Yu must have made a deal with Zhang Tianyi." Qiu Yinming, www.biquge.info the pen "Fun", said: "I just don't understand, since Zhang Tianyi is pretending to be dead, why do you want to meet me again?" Qi Mutian said: "Perhaps, there is another purpose, it is not clear now." But I have a strange thing here. The day before yesterday, Liu Lihao of the Qingliu Society sent someone to send a letter to the leader of the alliance, saying that he had made a feud with the Xihai Alliance because of a misunderstanding a few days ago, and he was very remorseful. Now that the big boss is dead, the Qingliu Society is willing to reform his ways, so he is ready to hold a banquet at the helm of the Qingliu Society the day after tomorrow, and sincerely invite the alliance leader and all the masters under the seat to release the past suspicions. ”

"It's definitely a trap." Qiu Yinming said when he heard it, "It must have been arranged by Zhang Tianyi." However, he had already designed to harm Mr. last time, would he do it again? ”

Qi Mutian shook his head and said, "This is strange. Since he is willing to see you, it shows that he is not afraid of being exposed at all about his fake death. ”

Qiu Yinming thought for a moment and said, "According to you, sir, if the alliance leader knew that Zhang Tianyi was not dead, what would he do?" ”

Qi Mutian thought about it for a while, and suddenly said, "It's not good." Now the alliance leader doesn't know that you have seen Zhang Tianyi, and he has decided to go to the meeting. If he knew now that he was not dead, Du Yu would have rebelled, and he would have been furious, and he would have moved forward. Perhaps, when he saw you, he just wanted Du Yu to be exposed. In this way, his odds are greater. ”

Qiu Yinming said: "Then I'll write a letter to the alliance leader now." Explain why. How is it? ”

Qi Mutian agreed: "Let's do this for now." Send someone early tomorrow morning to tell you what we are doing there. ”

After Qi Mutian left, Qiu Yinming thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't guess what tricks Zhang Tianyi was playing. Thinking of his comfortable and generous appearance when they met that day, I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

In the afternoon, Qiu Yinming was recording the beginning and end of his trip to Yuezhou Mansion in front of the case. Suddenly, the chai housekeeper came to report, and Jingzhou Wei commanded Feng Liang to visit. Qiu Yinming wondered, Feng Liang, I hadn't heard of it. But then I thought, could it be that he was ordered by Li Ju, and then changed his clothes and went to the front hall to meet him.

Steward Chai invited Commander Feng into the living room, but saw that he was tall and long-armed, and he was quite imposing.

The two greeted each other, and after watching the tea, Commander Feng got straight to the point and said: "I heard Master Li say that Lord Qiu is very concerned about the elimination of the displaced people. At present, it has been reported that this group of strongmen will boldly enter Jingzhou City the day after tomorrow. Feng was ordered to lead his troops to encircle and suppress again. I heard that Lord Qiu was concerned, so I wanted to invite my lord to watch the battle together. I don't know what adults think? ”

Qiu Yinming suddenly understood in his heart. I thought: This Tianyi is a good means! After a little thought, he said with a smile: "Thank you, Lord Feng, for coming here." Since Lord Feng doesn't mind. Naqiu was happy to watch the battle. Dare to ask, since you are in Jingzhou City, don't you want to disturb the people? ”

Feng commanded: "In the Long Lake." And it's not clear whether they'll show up or not. I have ordered 800 of my best soldiers, and I will ambush them nearby. and will not disturb the people. Please rest assured. ”

After saying this, Commander Feng did not sit for a long time, only ate a cup of tea and left.

Although he roughly understood Zhang Tianyi's intentions, Qiu Yinming still felt that something was wrong. Now, guessing is useless, and you will see it in person the day after tomorrow. Early the next morning, Qi Mutian sent someone to deliver the news. After seeing the letter yesterday, the alliance leader was really angry and summoned Du Yu and Shi Lei for questioning. What is surprising is that Du Yu unabashedly said that he did release Zhang Tianyi when he went to assassinate him last time, because it was a pity that he had never received due attention in the Xihai League for many years, and the rebellion was understandable. Du Yu confessed again, he has long been tired of the days when he bowed his head under the fence and everything, since the matter has been exposed, he does not love the old master, and from then on, the sea and the sky will be wide, and the West Sea Alliance will be cut in two, who can help him. With that, he left. The leader of the alliance didn't pursue it for a while, he was angry. After Du Yu left, Shi Lei went to chase him, but he didn't come back. After seeing the letter, Qiu Yinming thought to himself that the Xihai League suddenly lost two fierce generals, and tomorrow's appointment was arranged by Zhang Tianyi, so it stands to reason that he should not go. So he immediately replied, informing the commander of the general to send troops to ambush, and said his own suggestion, but he knew in his heart that if he was replaced as the leader of the alliance, he would definitely not be able to stand such calculations.

In the early morning of the next day, Xu Qianhu sent by Commander Feng picked up Qiu Yinming and accompanied him. A group of more than a dozen people, all in casual clothes, boarded a boat on the shore of Long Lake. The boat is not big, but it is well equipped. After getting on the boat, Xu Qianhu reported the details of the ambush to Qiu Yinming one by one. It turned out that Commander Feng knew that the personal soldiers who commanded the envoy last time were not the opponents of the Xihai Alliance at all, so he specially summoned several generals with the best martial arts skills in Jingzhou Weishang, and his elite soldiers, to ambush around the general rudder of the Qingliu Society. Now that everything has been arranged, we are waiting for the strongman to come.

The boat docked not far from the lakeside manor, in the shade of a large willow tree. Xu Qianhu accompanied Qiu Yinming to drink tea, and from time to time he found words to relieve his boredom, but Qiu Yinming was absent-minded, and frequently looked at the lake, feeling very uneasy. The leader of the alliance must know that no matter how strong his strength is, he cannot act recklessly when he encounters the regular army of the government. Let's hope they don't come.

But here they were.

I saw a big boat coming on the lake. The person standing at the bow of the boat was Heng Jingzhao, accompanied by Liu Lihao, the second leader of the Qingliu Society. Behind the two are Heng Yuhuan, Yang Zheng, Gao Ye and Zhao Ying. But Qi Mutian and Shi Jinzhong were missing. Qiu Yinming secretly thought that when Mr. Qi and the alliance leader got the news of him, they must have been prepared, and the two of them must have led the crowd to ambush from other roads. I don't know what the strength of the officers and troops is this time. So he asked casually: "Why did Lord Li send you Lord Feng to suppress the bandits?" Presumably Lord Feng's skills are not small? ”

I only heard Xu Qianhu say: "Lord Qiu, I won't tell you, Lord Feng is the first in our Jingzhou Wei martial arts." However......" Xu Qianhu was vague for a moment, and then said, "He doesn't have a good relationship with other generals, and he has offended Lord Li in the past. This thing must be a hot potato for him. ”

Qiu Yinming listened to this, and suddenly thought in his heart, this fight, both sides will definitely suffer. Immediately, he said, "Xu Qianhu, row the boat over." I'm going ashore. Xu Qianhu didn't understand for a moment, and said, "My lord, it's safe here." Qiu Yinming said: "I just want to see those people." Paddle through. Xu Qianhu exclaimed: "My lord." No! ”

"If you don't move, I'll come by myself." After that, we have to untie the rope.

Seeing this, Xu Qianhu didn't know what to do, so he hurriedly commanded the humanitarian: "Hurry, hurry." Do as the Governor says. ”

It is said that Heng Jingzhao was looking around the manor on the shore at this time, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a boat coming out of the side, and Qiu Yinming was standing on the bow. The two ships docked on the dock one after another, Qiu Yinming quickly landed ashore, greeted the Xihai Alliance, and arched his hand towards Heng Jingzhao: "Alliance leader, there is something to tell you below." Behind him, Xu Qianhu and his party looked at each other.

Heng Jingzhao replied: "Lord Qiu, why did you come here?" ”

The situation was urgent, and there was no room for much explanation, Qiu Yinming said straightforwardly: "Alliance leader, you know that this is all a trick conspired by Zhang Tianyi and Li Ju, so that the Xihai Alliance and the official army will both be defeated." Why let them succeed? Heng Jingzhao smiled and said, "Both losers? Not necessarily. Lord Qiu, you are here, how about the officers and soldiers coming in a while? Qiu Yinming said: "This is a misunderstanding at all, I met the commander Feng who commanded the troops yesterday. Anyway, I'll try to talk to him. He glanced at Heng Yu behind Heng Jingzhao. Hengyu also shook his head slightly.

Heng Jingzhao nodded and said, "That's good." Adults, please. Turning his head, he said to Liu Lihao, who was very embarrassed: "The second master, don't pretend." Let's go inside. ”

When he reached the atrium, Heng Jingzhao looked around, glanced at Liu Lihao again, and sneered: "Second master, you better run away." lest there be no eyes for a moment. Liu Lihao's face was as pale as earth, trembling, and said, "Alliance leader, this is none of our business. It's all at the behest of the big bosses. I ......" Heng Jingzhao smiled: "I didn't plan to trouble you. ”

Everyone waited quietly for about half a cup of tea, and suddenly heard the loud footsteps outside the door, and the middle door was broken, and a large group of officers and soldiers rushed in and surrounded everyone. At the same time, I saw two teams of archers also appear on the wall, ready to fly. The leading officer shouted: "We have been ordered to come and arrest the thieves!" Irrelevant people wait to stand back! ”

Heng Jingzhao glanced at Liu Lihao and said, "Why don't you go quickly?" Seeing this, Liu Lihao hurriedly bowed his hand to Heng Jingzhao and said, "Thank you for the grace of the alliance leader not to kill." He led his men out the back door in a hurry.

Seeing that the officer was about to give an order, Qiu Yinming stepped forward decisively and said, "Let's do it slowly!" This general, please ask your General Feng to come forward. ”

The officer was stunned for a moment and shouted, "Who are you?" ”

"Qiu Yinming, the governor of Xiahuguang, was invited by your General Feng to watch the battle."

As soon as these words came out, the sergeants present all had different faces and whispered. The officer glared at his subordinates, looked at Qiu Yinming suspiciously, and said, "Wait." ”

After a while, I saw the soldiers make way for the soldiers, Commander Feng strode forward, and saw Qiu Yinming standing in front of the gang of thieves, and said in surprise: "Lord Qiu! Why are you here? Hearing this, the officers and soldiers in the house were in an uproar.

Qiu Yinming said: "Lord Feng." There is an inside story in this matter. Don't do it rashly! ”

Feng Liang frowned and said, "Master Qiu, this is yours." The day before yesterday, I invited you to come and watch the battle, why didn't you say it? Today, I have a routine military order, and if there is any inside information, it will not be too late to wait for the arrest. ”

"Lord Feng, this matter is complicated. You and I met for the first time that day, so it is inconvenient to explain. Today is a last resort. Qiu Yinming paused for a moment, and then said, "To tell you the truth, Lord Feng, you are not their opponents. For the sake of the lives of the soldiers, please retire for the time being, and I will explain to Lord Li. ”

Feng Liang suddenly said angrily: "Lord Qiu, what do you mean by this!" Do you have a relationship with these thieves? I would like to advise your Excellency not to interfere in military affairs. Otherwise, Hugh blames Feng for being disrespectful. ”

At this time, Heng Jingzhao stepped forward and said to Qiu Yinming: "I understand your kindness." This battle must be fought, and we try not to kill anyone. ”

Feng Liang shouted: "What a governor! Let me let you see if my Jingzhou Wei is a wine bag and rice bag! He turned his head to an officer behind him and said, "Zhou Qianhu, you invite the governor out!" Then he shouted: "The generals will listen to the order, whether they live or die, take it all!" ”
