At this time, the group of heroes sleeping in the city also woke up, and rushed to the edge of the city wall, holding the battlements to look at the city.

By the torches of the defenders at the head of the city, I saw a man and a woman standing under the city. The man was dressed in a green robe and carried a sword in his left hand, and the woman stood behind him, unable to see her face clearly. The defenders of the city aimed their bows and arrows at the two men, and ordered them not to advance.

The man said loudly: "I'm looking for Li Qiufeng Li Daxia to talk to Mr. Liu Yong Liu of the Huashan faction, please speak on your behalf." ”

At this time, Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan had already arrived at the edge of the city wall, and when they heard the man say that they wanted to talk to him, they were slightly stunned in their hearts, and they stared at it, wanting to see this person's face clearly. It's just that the distance from which the torches shine at the head of the city is limited, and it is not very clear to see vaguely.

While he was thinking about it, Murong Danyan whispered to him: "Brother Li, I listened to this person's voice, and then looked at the appearance of the two of them, it seemed that Xiao Lao Wu and Sister Ma ......."

Li Qiufeng's heart sank, and he shouted loudly: "Is it Xiao Shaoxia and Miss Ma?"

The man smiled: "It's Xiao." Is it Brother Li?"

Li Qiufeng hurriedly turned his head and ordered the soldiers not to release the arrows, and then said to Xiao Zhanpeng: "Brother Xiao, you and Miss Ma should come down to the city." ”

Xiao Zhanpeng and Ma Dongqing walked to the city and looked up at the city wall. Li Qiufeng held the battlement with his hand, and saw clearly that it was Xiao Zhanpeng and Ma Dongqing, so he said loudly: "Brother Xiao, now that the two armies are facing each other, the city gate does not dare to open. In a few moments, the rope will be lowered at the head of the city, and you will take the horse girl to hold the rope, and we will pull you up to the city. ”

At this time, several soldiers had already brought a bundle of thick rope and threw one end of the rope down the city. Xiao Zhanpeng carried Ma Dongqing behind him, holding a sword in his left hand and holding the rope with his right hand. The soldiers were about to pull the rope, but they saw Xiao Zhanpeng grasping the rope with his right hand, and his feet had already climbed the city wall. I saw that his right hand kept changing positions towards the upper end of the rope, and his feet stepped on the city wall like covering the ground, and he didn't wait for the soldiers to pull the rope, and he had already "walked" up with Ma Dongqing on his back. When he was only more than a zhang high from the city, he saw Xiao Zhanpeng with a little feet, and his body flew up lightly, landing on the city.

The heroes in the city are all martial arts masters, and when they saw Xiao Zhanpeng showing this light skill, they shouted loudly. There are even many people whispering to each other, asking each other which school of masters they are.

Murong Danyan looked contemptuous, and whispered to Li Qiufeng: "Xiao Lao Wu is not good at this person, he loves vanity, and he is bent on being in the limelight. ”

Li Qiufeng smiled and shook his head: "Xiao Shaoxia is handsome and chic, has strong martial arts, and is a young talent in the rivers and lakes, but he doesn't want to be in the limelight." ”

Murong Danyan pursed his lips, and was about to say more, when Li Qiufeng stepped forward and said to Xiao Zhanpeng, "Brother Xiao, why are you and Miss Ma here?"

Xiao Zhanpeng put Ma Dongqing down from behind him, Murong Danyan greeted him, took Ma Dongqing's hand and walked aside, and the two talked quietly.

Xiao Zhanpeng said to Li Qiufeng: "After Xiao and Brother Li separated, they took Miss Ma all the way south, but they met a lot of soldiers on the way. When these soldiers saw us and the two of us on military horses, they indiscriminately branded knives and guns to arrest the two of us, and I drove them away. It's just that the farther south you go, the more soldiers stand in your way. I didn't feel right, and finally I caught two soldiers, and after all kinds of questioning and intimidation, the two soldiers said that they were soldiers from Shanhaiguan......"

At this time, the two of them had walked under the arrow tower, Li Qiufeng looked at the many people around him, and quietly glanced at Xiao Zhanpeng, Xiao Zhanpeng was slightly stunned, and then kept silent. Li Qiufeng led Xiao Zhanpeng to the wall of the urn city on the left side of the arrow tower, and saw that there was no one around, so he whispered to Xiao Zhanpeng: "The people in the city are mixed, and it is better not to let them know about some things." Brother Xiao, please continue. ”

Xiao Zhanpeng nodded, and then said: "Those two soldiers said that they were soldiers and horses from Shanhaiguan, and they received an order from the imperial court to transfer troops, saying that the Tartar soldiers had invaded the capital and wanted them to enter the king of Qin. After the army arrived here, Shangfeng issued an order to set up camp in the mountains, and wait for the arrival of grain and grass before marching to the capital. The commander of the army was very careful, and after the camp was settled, he released scouts from afar to inquire about the news, and sent many soldiers to lay an ambush on the left side of the camp. In the past few days, hundreds of mountain people have been arrested, as well as passing merchants. Seeing that Miss Ma and I were riding military horses, they thought we were spies of the rebels, and they wanted to capture us and send us to the camp to ask for merit.

"I drove the two soldiers away, but I did not dare to go any further south, so I turned east with Miss Ma and hid in a village. Miss Ma and I discussed tonight, saying that we should inform Brother Li of the news of the arrival of the soldiers and horses in Shanhaiguan. So I took her back to Yong'an City. Because the horses were too eye-catching, and they were far from the rebel camp, I let them go, thinking about how to get around the city. Unexpectedly, there was a sudden chaos in the rebels' tent, and many camps were empty, so Miss Ma and I took advantage of the chaos to pass through the camp and secretly came to Yong'an City. It's just that I am worried that there is no enemy in the city, and the random arrows will come down, so I am extremely careful to walk, but I have delayed a lot of time. ”

Li Qiufeng knew that when there was chaos in the camp of Sang Liangtian, it was when he turned his face with Zhao Zhen and Liu Sheng Zongyan that it gave Xiao and Ma the opportunity to slip through the camp. At this time, he couldn't go into details, so he nodded and said: "The soldiers and horses of Shanhaiguan are hiding in Nanshan, and the people in the city don't know much about it now. Brother Xiao must not talk about this matter to others, so as not to shake the morale of the army and cause trouble. ”

Xiao Zhanpeng said: "I will take care of this, please rest assured Brother Li." ”

At this time, by the light of the lantern hanging on the arrow tower, Xiao Zhanpeng found that Li Qiufeng's face was pale, and he seemed to be lacking in qi when he spoke, and his heart sank, and he said, "Brother Li is not injured?"

Li Qiufeng smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Xiao has good eyesight. I fought with Yagyu Soiwa and was stabbed in the shoulder by him. Fortunately, Mr. Liu used the Huashan faction's 'Soul Rejuvenation Pill' to apply it to the wound, and now there is no major problem. ”

Although Xiao Zhanpeng and Li Qiufeng have not known each other for a long time, they know the ability of Li Qiufeng, and they never imagined that he would be seriously injured, and they couldn't help but be shocked. Li Qiufeng knew that he was worried, so he comforted him and said, "Now that the injury is already healed, Brother Xiao doesn't have to worry about me." ”

The two of them spoke a few more words, and then walked back under the arrow tower. Li Qiufeng asked Murong Danyan to take Ma Dongqing to the city to find a place to rest, Murong Danyan didn't want to leave Li Qiufeng, but seeing Ma Dongqing's face and dusty face, he had to say goodbye to Li Qiufeng and take Ma Dongqing down to the city.

Li Qiufeng and Xiao Zhanpeng found a place to lie down and rest under the arrow tower. Running around for a day and night, and being seriously injured, Li Qiufeng fell asleep soon after lying down.

When he woke up, it was already bright, and he was covered with a blanket. Li Qiufeng sat up in horror, with his martial arts, even in his sleep, if someone approached, he would wake up immediately. It's just that when someone put a blanket on his body and didn't know it, this is something that has never happened before.

After Li Qiufeng sat up, he looked around. But I saw Murong Danyan curled up under a pillar not far from him, still sleeping soundly, and the blanket on her body must have been covered by her at night. Li Qiufeng was moved, took off the blanket gently, tiptoed over, and covered the blanket for Murong Danyan.

At this moment, I suddenly saw Liu Yong coming from afar. Li Qiufeng was worried that his words would wake up Murong Danyan, so he quickly stepped forward. I saw Liu Yong's haggard face, his eyes were bloodshot, and he obviously hadn't slept all night. Li Qiufeng arched his hand and said: "Mr. Liu has been tired all night, and Li admires it. ”

Liu Yong waved his hand and said, "I have discussed with the garrison, and I only said that Detective Li Shaoxia heard the news that the rebels will attack Dongcheng mainly with Tartar soldiers." The garrison was also quite happy when he heard the news, saying that Sang Liangtian was proficient in the art of war, and he didn't know why he made such a decision. Although the Tartar soldiers are extremely fierce, they are good at field charges, and letting these people attack the city is simply sending them to death in vain. Most of the weapons and baggage hidden in the city have also been found, and bows and arrows can be transported to the city tower this morning. I have been to the south, west, and north of the city, and have consulted with the leaders of the Tarzan faction, and although the rebels may not attack these three directions, we must be careful and not negligent. ”

Seeing that Liu Yong had arranged so carefully, Li Qiufeng was impressed in his heart, and immediately said: "Mr. Liu, you have been running all night, so you took a nap in the arrow tower. When the Tartars attack the city, it is not too late for you to get up and command us to resist the enemy. ”
