Li Qiufeng, Murong Danyan, and Xiao Zhanpeng listened to Mrs. Sha tell the past of the ancestors of the Sha family, and they all thought in their hearts: "Mrs. Sha deliberately concealed the inside information of the ancestors of the Sha family who pretended to be sick to escape the emperor's suspicion, and just briefly said some things about the past that did not commit taboos, so naturally it will not be too complicated." ”

Zhu Sanjia was about to say more, Li Qiufeng said: "Mr. Zhu, there is something I want to ask you for advice below." “

What Zhu Sanjia was most afraid of was Li Qiufeng, and when he saw him talking to himself, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Childe, don't call me Mr. not Mr., just call me Lao Zhu." If you have something to say, as long as my Lao Zhu knows, I will never dare to hide it. ”

Li Qiufeng pondered for a moment and said, "Dare to ask Brother Zhu, have you seen officers and soldiers fighting with people at the foot of the mountain?"

Zhu Sanjia was stunned for a moment, frowned and thought for a moment, and said: "When we arrived at the foot of the mountain, we saw a large number of officers and soldiers arraying from a distance, and for fear of being discovered by them, they hid in the woods on the side of the road, because they didn't see if they were fighting with others. However, Childe's question reminded me that if the officers and soldiers were stationed here, they would definitely set up a large camp. Now that I think about it, I don't see the shadow of the tent. I'm afraid that they didn't come here to station, but for another purpose. ”

Li Qiufeng nodded and said, "According to Brother Zhu, how many officers and soldiers can there be?"

Zhu Sanjia said: "I look at this formation, there are no more than 10,000 infantry, and there are many cavalry, and the total number is at least about 15,000. ”

Li Qiufeng said: "I see that Brother Zhu and the dozen or so strong men under him are powerful, and the blades in their hands are spears, they don't seem to be from the rivers and lakes, I think they have been soldiers in the army?"

Zhu Sanjia was stunned, then smiled and said, "Childe has good eyesight." I did work in the military. More than ten years ago, I served as a soldier for three years under the command of General Guo of Xuanfu, and the rest of my brothers also worked in the army. ”

Li Qiufeng nodded and said, "No wonder Brother Zhu and these dozen strong men are quite disciplined when they advance and retreat, although they are defeated, they must have been elite soldiers in a hundred battles back then." ”

Zhu Sanjia hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Don't dare to do this, don't dare to do this." ”

Li Qiufeng said: "It's not a secret, the officers and soldiers came here to capture some heroes who refused to make trouble, and many of them were friends. Although these friends have high martial arts, they are only facing the field army, if they go head-to-head, it can be said that they are defeated or invincible, and they must rush to the rescue as soon as possible. It's just that the exit of this cave was intercepted by a large number of martial arts masters, and it is more difficult to get out of here than to ascend to the sky. Since Brother Zhu entered this cave from another secret passage, I would like to ask Brother Zhu to take him out of this cave and go down the mountain to help my friends in the rivers and lakes!"

Zhu Sanjia was stunned, and it was difficult to agree for a while, so he involuntarily turned his head to look at Mrs. Sha.

Mrs. Sha has been speculating about the origin of Zhu Sanjia, seeing that he is very respectful to Shajiabao, and he seems to be quite familiar with the origin of Shajiabao, but she is afraid that she has a lot of connections with Shajiabao, and she wants to find out the origin of Zhu Sanjia, but when she heard what Li Qiufeng said, she knew that he wanted Zhu Sanjia to lead the way and go out from another road, so she nodded and said: "Since Li Gongzi has this plan, Mr. Zhu, can you trouble you to take Li Gongzi out?"

Zhu Sanjia saw Mrs. Sha speak, without the slightest hesitation, and hugged his fists and said: "Since the eldest young grandmother ordered to come down, the villain will take Li Gongzi away." ”

Li Qiufeng said to Mrs. Sha: "Mrs. Sha, although the exit of this cave is blocked by huge stones, the enemy cannot enter for a while. It's just that our enemies are cunning and scheming, and they are outnumbered, so I'm afraid that after a long time, they will find a way to attack them. After Yi Li left, you must be careful, if the enemy really opens the stone gate, you must not resist it, and it is the best policy to escape along the stone cave as soon as possible. ”

Li Qiufeng's voice fell, and Zhu Sanjia said: "This is not bothering, there are many stone chambers in this secret passage, and some of them are extremely secret. If the enemy invades, I will ask the two brothers to take the grandmother and others to a safe place to hide, and discipline the enemy to find them. ”

Li Qiufeng was overjoyed and said, "So it's the best!"

Zhu Sanjia smiled, pursed his lips and whistled, and after a while, two men ran in from the entrance of the cave, and it was his subordinates who had just been sent by him to ambush in the secret passage. The two of them arrived in front of Zhu San's family and bowed their hands. Zhu Sanjia said: "Brother Yang, Brother Gao, I want to accompany this Li Gongzi out on errands." You stay here to protect the young grandmother and the young master. If there is an enemy attacking, you don't have to fight with it, you just need to retreat into the secret passage with the eldest young grandmother and others, and after arriving at the Jingxin Temple, close the stone gate of the Jingxin Temple and guard it inside. After I finish working with Li Gongzi, I will come to save you. ”

The two men claimed yes, each with a spear, and stood guard at the exit of the cave. At this moment, the tiger Ah Er, who was lying behind a huge rock, stretched his waist and stood up, Zhu Sanjia and these two men were stunned when they saw Ah Er, and raised the spear in their hands to aim at Ah Er. It's just that when I suddenly saw such a huge tiger, I was so frightened that my bones were crispy, and my hands holding the spear couldn't help trembling.

Seeing that the three of them were afraid, Sha Zhongyu hurriedly ran to Ah Er's side, stood on tiptoe and touched Ah Er's chin, and said, "Don't scare the guests, just sit down honestly." ”

That Ah Er was also obedient, he ignored Zhu Sanjia and the two men at all, his tongue stretched out and licked around his mouth, and he whined twice in his throat, and then slowly fell down.

Zhu Sanjia said in a trembling voice: "The little young master can actually drive the tiger, it is really a natural skill, and the villain admires it so much." ”

Li Qiufeng said: "Since there is Brother Zhu's friend to help, it is the best." But I heard you just say that you want to take refuge in the 'Temple of Meditation', is there still a temple on this mountain?"

Only then did Zhu Sanjia wake up from the shock of suddenly meeting Tiger Ah Er, and said to Li Qiufeng: "That temple is not on the mountain, but in an extremely secret place in this cave. There is also dense agency news along the way, if you don't know how powerful it is, you will break into it rashly, and you will have thousands of troops, but I am afraid that you will end up with a total annihilation. ”

When Li Qiufeng heard him say that there was a temple in this cave, he was already quite suspicious in his heart, and when he heard that this temple had such a powerful mechanism, it was even more difficult to believe, and he thought to himself: "This Brother Zhu is bold and informal, but he is a good man, but his words exaggerate the facts, which makes people cry and laugh." ”

Although he thought so in his heart, he naturally couldn't say this on the surface. I saw him turn his head to Xiao Zhanpeng and Murong Danyan and say: "Brother Xiao, Miss Murong, please stay here, if the killers of the Liu Sheng clan and those monks and Taoist priests rush in, they must protect Mrs. Sha and Sha Gongzi to retreat into the secret path safely." ”

Before Xiao Zhanpeng could answer, Murong Danyan hurriedly said, "Brother Li, I want to go with you!"

Li Qiufeng was stunned, shook his head, and said, "Miss Murong, there are many troops under the mountain, and it is too dangerous to break in. If I go alone, what danger I encounter, it's a big deal to pat my ass and leave, and take the girl with me, I'm afraid that I won't take good care of Miss Murong and let Miss Murong fall into chaos, what face does Li have to see Mr. Murong Qiushui......"

Murong Danyan didn't wait for him to finish speaking, his face changed, he snorted, and said hatefully: "I care, you're afraid that I'll drag you down, yes or no?"

Li Qiufeng was embarrassed, and he didn't know how to explain it. Mrs. Sha smiled on the side: "Master Li, if Sister Murong wants to go, you might as well go with her, but you also have a care." Since Mr. Zhu is very familiar with the situation in this cave, and has left people to help us, you can rest assured to save your friends, and you don't have to worry about us. ”

Li Qiufeng saw Murong Danyan's look of anticipation, and tears flashed in his eyes, but he couldn't bear to refuse, so he nodded and said, "Okay......"

Xiao Zhanpeng saw Murong Danyan walking with Li Qiufeng, and he also became competitive, and said to Li Qiufeng: "Brother Li, Xiao is also willing to go with you and the girl." ”

Li Qiufeng shook his head and said, "Brother Xiao, if we all leave, only Mrs. Sha, Mr. Sha, and Mr. Hou are left here who know martial arts." The rest of the dozen aunts and eldest sisters don't know martial arts, and if the enemy attacks them, I'm afraid that there will be casualties in an emergency. Brother Xiao is strong in martial arts, and he stays here as a helper, so that Li can rest assured that he can go to help the various sects. ”

Xiao Zhanpeng thought about it, so he had to nod his head in agreement. Hou Zhen said on the side: "Li Gongzi, the old slave admires your righteousness. It's just that although Li Gongzi's martial arts are high, in the face of thousands of troops, it's better not to rush hard......"

Li Qiufeng nodded and said, "Thank you for the reminder." Li knew that if he broke into the army formation, it would be tantamount to a moth to a fire and kill himself. It is because Li will definitely think of mixing into the military formation and joining up with the group of heroes. It's just that even if I get together with the various major factions, it will be difficult to fight against the officers and soldiers. Li wanted to gather these martial arts masters together, first escape from the encirclement of officers and soldiers, retreat to this valley, and then take refuge in this cave. There is only one exit from this cave, and it can really be said that it is a one-man pass, and it cannot be opened. If Qunhao can escape here, he will be invincible, and let's think of escaping again. ”

Only then did everyone understand Li Qiufeng's plan, and they all secretly praised him for being thoughtful. Mrs. Sha thought to herself: "This Li Gongzi only seeks practical benefits, not for fame, if he can get benefits, he doesn't even care about his own reputation, which is completely different from those famous and decent people in the martial arts who regard death as home, and there is a three-point evil spirit in his words and deeds." Miss Murong's father is a first-class swordsman in the rivers and lakes, and when he saw what Li Gongzi did, he was afraid that he would not like it in his heart. ”

Xiao Zhanpeng said: "Brother Li's plan is very good, Xiao is waiting at the entrance of the cave, waiting for Brother Li to come back with Qunhao." ”

Li Qiufeng said: "Right now, the killers of the Yanagi clan and the Guangzhi monk, Yu Qingzi and others must still be thinking outside the boulder, so we must not open the stone door from the inside, otherwise these masters will rush in, and it will be difficult for us to resist." Li wanted to retreat into the valley with a group of heroes, and then kill the entrance of the cave first. Although the Guangzhi monk and Yu Qingzi have high martial arts, it is difficult to resist these thousands of heroes in the rivers and lakes, seeing us rushing over, they will definitely turn around and flee, and then we will open the stone gate again, let Qunhao retreat into the cave, and then put down the stone gate, wouldn't it be good?!"

When the people saw that he had already calculated, they had no objection. Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan stopped, and followed Zhu Sanjia towards the entrance of the secret passage at the northern end of the cave. Seeing Zhu Sanjia walking in front, Mrs. Sha hurriedly walked to Li Qiufeng's side quietly, leaned close to his ear and whispered: "Li Gongzi, the mechanism of the boulder outside the cave is a triangular stone on the right side of the stone gate. Once you hold down the rock, turn it three times to the left, then two times to the right, and the boulder will lift!"

Li Qiufeng knew that Mrs. Sha was still not at ease with Zhu Sanjia, so he whispered to himself about the mechanism that opened the door, and nodded immediately. Murong Danyan walked aside, and when he saw Mrs. Sha whispering in Li Qiufeng's ear, the two were very close, and he was a little unhappy in his heart. It's just a second thought: "Sister Fang only likes the sand castle master, so naturally she won't empathize with others." She whispered to Brother Li, there must be something extremely important, how can I be too careful?!"
