On this day, it was almost noon, and after walking around Enping City all morning and still not finding Su Jiulin, Qiu Yinxue and the three of them were also preparing to go back.

Since the sky was already full of dark clouds, and there was a possibility of rain at any time, the three of them walked up the alley path. After all, walking the alley can reduce walking a few streets, and it can be much closer.

"Ping!"

"Pong!"

was walking, but there was a sudden sound of fighting in the alley in front of Qiu Yinxue and the three of them.

When the three of them approached, they found that Yu Dayou was being besieged by more than a dozen masked men, and he had already suffered a lot of injuries at this time. Yan Xiu, who had been in a panic after coming to Enping City for so long, also rushed up to help immediately, but Lan Lan did not step forward because she wanted to protect Qiu Yinxue.

The more than ten people also noticed Yan Xiu, and immediately divided eight people to stop them.

Although the internal strength of these masked people is not high, their sword skills are very strange, and before they can make two moves, Yan Xiu has two cuts in his back. Although it was only a skin injury, it also surprised Yan Xiu very much, he had never seen such a strange knife technique after so many years of traveling from south to north.

However, after a few more moves, Yan Xiu also had some understanding of the masked man's sword technique, and it was much easier to deal with it. After a while, after becoming familiar with some masked people's knife techniques, Yan Xiu successively beat down five masked people. Seeing this, the other three also ran away.

At this time, there were still six people fighting with Yu Dayou, but Yan Xiu did not step forward to help, but leaned against the wall and watched slowly. He found out that Yu Dayou's swordsmanship was very exquisite, and he also saw that the remaining six people were not Yu Dayou's opponents, so he didn't step forward to help.

Just as Yan Xiu was looking energetic, a man in his thirties ran over from another alley with a wooden stick.

After the man came, he also saw Yu Dayou and several masked people fighting, and when he saw Yan Xiu on the side, he attacked Yan Xiu with a wooden stick without saying a word.

When the man first came, from his figure and footwork, Yan Xiu could already tell that he was a master. Seeing the man attacking at this time, Yan Xiu also put away his contempt and took the move seriously.

Sure enough, the man with the stick was very powerful, and Yan Xiu, who was serious, couldn't help him. Accidentally, Yan Xiu was also hit twice with a stick. However, the man did not take advantage of it, and was kicked twice by Yan Xiu.

Seeing that he couldn't take the other party, Yan Xiu also used the "Immovable Ming King Fist", but was resolved one by one by the man's exquisite stick technique.

The man didn't show weakness, and jumped high with his backhand and slashed at Yan Xiu with a stick.

Just when the two were inseparable, Yu Dayou had already solved the seven masked people on his side. After seeing Yan Xiu fighting with a man, he immediately ran over.

At this time, Yan Xiu just shot out a palm and caught the stick that the man had chopped, and the two of them each withdrew a few steps.

Yu Dayou hurriedly stood between the two.

"Stop! It's all your own people! ”

"Huh? Own? ”

After Yan Xiu and the man stopped, Yu Dayou also introduced each other to both parties.

It turned out that the man's name was Li Liangqin, who was Yu Dayou's master and Guanghaiwei's anti-Japanese general. When he knew that it was Yan Xiu who had just relieved Yu Dayou, Li Liangqin immediately thanked Yan Xiu and praised Yan Xiu's boxing skills. And Yan Xiu also expressed his admiration for Li Liangqin's stick method. When he knew that the swordsmanship that Yu Dayou had just made was an evolution of the "Zhang'er Stick Method" taught by Li Liangqin, Yan Xiu admired it even more. Li Liangqin attributed the credit to Yu Dayou's own efforts.

Subsequently, Li Liangqin also explained his reckless action. It turned out that yesterday Li Liangqin caught several Japanese thieves who had infiltrated Guanghaiwei, and under forced questioning, he learned that the Japanese thieves were planning to launch a concentrated robbery against Guanghaiwei and several other places in the near future. At the same time, Li Liangqin also knew from them that the Japanese thieves were going to take action against Yu Dayou, who was the main force of Guanghaiwei's anti-Japanese invasion, so he hurried over. When Li Liangqin saw Yan Xiu watching the battle from the sidelines, he thought that Yan Xiu was in a gang with the thieves, so he made a move.

As he spoke, Li Liangqin also persuaded Yan Xiu and the others to leave Enping City quickly.

"You have sabotaged the plans of the pirates, and from what I have known about them for so many years, you have become a target of the pirates, and it is very likely that they will take you as reinforcements we have invited. Moreover, Enping was also one of the targets of the thieves, and they would never allow you to exist in Enping City. So no matter what, they'll come back to you again. ”

"That's all?" Yan Xiu was not afraid at all, "I have already seen through their sword techniques, I can fight as many as I come." ”

"Brother Yan, I won't tell you, there are not a few thieves who are similar to my martial arts." Li Liangqin continued, "And they not only have strange sword skills, but also strange body skills. In particular, they are also good at camouflage, even if you can tell that they are disguised, but there are also Ming Dynasty people among them, which will make you unguardable. ”

"And the Ming Dynasty?" Hearing this, Yan Xiu and the three of them all felt strange, "Aren't the thieves from the Japanese country?" ”

Seeing that the three of them were puzzled, Yu Dayou told the three of them about the history of the Japanese invaders.

The three of them also learned that when the Ming Dynasty was first established, there were defeated Zhang Shicheng and other remnants of the southern forces who cooperated with some smugglers along the coast to rob the pirates of the Japanese State, forming the Japanese pirates at that time.

Later, Yu Dayou also said that due to the excellent coastal defense policy of the imperial court later, there were few pirates in the Ming Dynasty to plunder. As for the prevalence of piracy in recent years, the reason for this is not only the increasing corruption of the imperial court, but also the civil strife in the Japanese state.

"After the civil strife in the Wa Dynasty, the Muromachi Shogunate, which had been in power, lost real power, and then daimyo from all over the country rose one after another. But over the years, no one could help anyone, and some of the defeated daimyo began to rob us along the coast so that they could go back and strengthen themselves. In addition to snatching by themselves, they will often gather some Japanese ronins to jointly rob. ”

As for what a "great name" is, Yu Dayou explained that it is like Yuan Shao and Cao Cao in the Three Kingdoms period, similar to the meaning of princes.

Subsequently, because they still had to prepare for Guanghaiwei's anti-Japanese affairs, Li Liangqin and Yu Dayou also said goodbye to Yan Xiu and the three of them and rushed to Guanghaiwei. Before leaving, Li Liangqin persuaded the three of them again, telling them to leave Enping quickly.

After knowing the danger here, Qiu Yinxue asked Yan Xiu and Lan Lan to go first, but she didn't want to go. But Yan Xiu and Lan Lan were willing to leave her alone, just like that, none of the three left.

After lunch, Yan Xiu went out again, of course, to find that "strange monk". Qiu Yinxue sat alone in the courtyard and was stunned.

Qiu Yinxue was in a daze, and suddenly there was a quarrel from the back door.

Qiu Yinxue turned her head to look and found that it was an old man begging for food with Uncle Li.

"I've said that I haven't eaten, I'll give it to you if there is, you can leave quickly!"

"Such a big house, you told me that you didn't eat, and deceived the child? I'm telling you, if I don't get something to eat today, I won't leave! ”

The old man sat on the door frame with his butt, and no matter how Uncle Li pulled, he didn't move.

At this time, Qiu Yinxue walked over slowly and said to Uncle Li: "Uncle Li, you can take the old man to the kitchen to find something to eat." ”

"Miss, this is a scoundrel! It's clearly a cheat. Uncle Li said and glared at the old man again.

Qiu Yinxue ignored Uncle Li, slowly leaned over to the old man's side, and said, "Grandpa, if you don't work for a short time with me, at least you can eat enough for every meal." ”

"Okay!" Without waiting for Uncle Li to refute, the old man agreed.

"What? Miss, how old do you see he has become, what can he do? ”

"You're young." The old man gave Uncle Li a blank look.

Qiu Yinxue was also amused, and said, "Uncle Li, you can take the old man to find something to eat, I feel that the old man is really hungry." ”

"Hey!" Uncle Li had no choice but to take the old man to the kitchen.

In the evening, Yan Xiu also came back.

It's just that today he is very proud, with a smile on his face, and two jugs of wine and a bag of peanuts in his hand.

It turned out that the "strange monk" was not there this afternoon, and Yan Xiu won money for the first time in more than a month.

However, Yan Xiu hadn't eaten dinner yet, and when he came to the hall, there was no food on the table.

"Why do you eat earlier every day!" Yan Xiu couldn't help but complain.

Then Yan Xiu came to the room again, and after seeing a plate of food covered on the stove, he also ate it directly, and finished it in three or two clicks.

After another two hours, the lights in everyone's rooms had been turned off, but Yan Xiu drank alone in the courtyard.

At this time, Yu Dayou and Li Liangqin actually encountered an ambush by masked men on the way back to Guanghaiwei.

Although there were only seven people who ambushed them this time, and the number of people was less than half of the people who besieged Yu Dayou during the day, their martial arts were more than one grade higher than those during the day, and Yu Dayou and Li Liangqin were not the opponents of the other party. In a few moments, both of them were already injured.

"When it's too big, it's too big, it's too big, and the gentleman is not afraid of ...... with independence"

At this moment, the strange monk who had won Yan Xiu in the gambling house for more than a month appeared in everyone's sight reciting the Book of Changes.

Seeing the strange monk, Li Liangqin was overjoyed.

"Master!"
