After Li Qiufeng said goodbye to Xiao Zhanpeng and Ma Dongqing, he immediately whipped his horse, and soon crossed the place where the heroes camped. At this time, there were more than 100 people in the rivers and lakes, and three or four large fires were lit. The group sat on the edge of the fire and laughed loudly, and there were many horses tied to the edge of the surrounding woods, and there was the sound of horses neighing from time to time. It was riding by in the autumn wind, but no one paid attention.

The strong autumn wind went around the place where the heroes gathered, and carefully observed the right side of the road. At this time, the stars in the night sky are getting fuller, and I can already vaguely see the situation on the side of the road. Li Qiufeng walked out not far from the horse, and sure enough, he saw a white road on the right side of the road. Li Qiufeng turned the horse's head and ran down the road.

As soon as the horse's hooves stepped onto the road, they heard a chaotic sound of "crackling". It turned out that the road was paved with white stones, and when the horses' hooves stepped on them, they kicked the stones everywhere.

The strong autumn wind rode forward, only to feel that the terrain was gradually rising, and it had reached a ridge. There were no trees on either side of the road, but there was no deep valley. Li Qiufeng turned his head to look back to the right, and he could still see the fires lit by Qunhao. It's just far away, and it's a bit hazy.

After walking for about a pillar of incense, under the starry sky, I suddenly saw two big trees in front of me, one on the left and one on the right, on both sides of the road. About five or six zhang away from the tree, there is a huge stone archway. When I got here, I thought it was not far from Shajiabao.

Li Qiufeng reined in his mount, thinking that he came to Shajiabao this time, just to ask Murong Danyan to leave safely, not to compete with others, to fight life and death, and to be indispensable with courtesy. He immediately rolled the saddle and dismounted, and led the horse and walked forward slowly.

When he arrived at the stone memorial arch, Li Qiufeng took out the fire from his arms and shook it, and then raised it to take a closer look at the stone memorial arch. I saw that the whole body of this archway is made of white marble, but the age is old, the wind and rain blow, the original white stone wall has become gray. In the middle of the archway, there are four big characters embedded in the forehead: Baishi Liufang.

Seeing these four big characters, Li Qiufeng couldn't help but be stunned, secretly thinking how this word was so familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere? He thought about it carefully, and suddenly remembered the origin of this word, and couldn't help but be shocked.

He remembered that there was also an archway in front of the lobby of the East Factory, and the archway was also engraved with the four characters of "Baishi Liufang". It was written by Chengzu Zhu Di himself.

When Li Qiufeng was on an errand in Jinyiwei, Dongchang also went to it a few times. For the first time, when I accompanied other Jinyi guards to escort prisoners to the East Factory, I entered the third courtyard of the East Factory, and there was a memorial arch in front of the lobby, with four big characters of "Hundred Generations Liufang" written on it. In the middle of the lobby is a portrait of Yue Fei, a famous general of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the plaque also reads the words "Loyal to the Country".

At that time, Li Qiufeng was noncommittal, thinking that although Dongchang had also handled a lot of cases, but during the reign of Emperor Zhengde, he sped on news everywhere and framed many ministers. At that time, several brocade guards were laughing, but the elders who went with them whispered to everyone: "Dongchang began when Chengzu Zhu Di ascended the throne. At that time, although the Battle of Jingyan had ended, there were not a few officials loyal to Emperor Jianwen. Jinyiwei has also been loyal to Emperor Jianwen, although the commander and other officials have been replaced, most of the subordinate personnel have been retained. It was because Zhu Di was not at ease with Jinyiwei, so he reused the eunuchs around him and established the East Investigation Factory, which was the East Factory that the world talked about later. At the beginning of the establishment of the East Factory, Chengzu personally inscribed a plaque with the four characters of "Baishi Liufang". Later, he inscribed the portrait of Yue Fei with the words 'Jing Loyal to the Country'. This is all a royal pen, and there must be no disrespect. ”

Li Qiufeng stood in front of the archway, thinking of the archway in front of the lobby of the Middle East Factory in Beijing, and his heart was suspicious. In terms of scale alone, the archway outside Shajiabao is much larger than the archway in front of the lobby of the East Factory, but it is exactly the same in terms of regulations. In particular, the four big characters of "Baishi Liufang" are exactly the same as those on the archway in the East Factory. Li Qiufeng had heard that the ancestors of the Sha family had participated in the Battle of Jingjing, and he was the hero of Chengzu Zhu Di's seizure of the throne. It's just that he thought it was a rumor at the time, and when he saw this archway today, he believed that the legend about Shajiabao was only true. If this is the case, if you want to take Murong Danyan out of Shajiabao safely, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult.

He groaned for a long time, and then led his mount under the archway.

After passing the torii, I saw that the road under my feet was no longer a stone road, but a road paved with blue bricks. On both sides of the road are trees several feet high, with strange shapes, simple and heavy, and it is clear that the time of growth is not short.

Li Qiufeng walked for more than 30 zhang, and suddenly saw a high wall faintly in front of him. The range of fire in his hand was limited, and he hurriedly took more than ten steps forward. Only then did I find that a stone wall more than two feet high appeared in front of me, with a large gate in the middle closed and a small gate on each side. In front of the door, there are two fierce beasts carved out of stone, at first glance I thought they were lions, but when I got closer, I found that the carved ones were actually two fierce tigers.

In the homes of the wealthy gentry, there are many customs of placing stone lions in front of the door, but no one has ever seen a stone tiger in front of the door. Moreover, these two tigers are separated from each other, but their appearance and demeanor are different. The stone tiger on the left squatted on the ground, raised his head to the sky, and seemed to be roaring at the sky. On the right side, the stone tiger was spread out on all fours, and the tiger's head was lowered, as if it was about to pounce suddenly.

Li Qiufeng looked at these two stone tigers, and thought to himself that Shajiabao was really strange, why did he use two stone tigers to come to the town. Just thinking about it, he suddenly heard a very slight "click" sound not far away, his heart sank, and he immediately shook out the fire in his hand, held the handle of the knife in his right hand, and his body flashed behind the stone tiger on the right, and then kicked lightly on the horse's buttocks. Immediately the horse flew on all fours, and ran in the way from which he came.

Li Qiufeng's left arm was seriously injured and had not healed, and there was still residual poison on his body, so he didn't want to make a move with the enemy at this time. It was to hide behind Shi Hu and want to find a chance to escape. But the enemy was also very good, and after a very soft sound was heard, there was no more sound. Li Qiufeng waited for half a pillar of incense, and there was silence around him, and there was no sound. He thought that it would not be a solution to drag it any longer, so he immediately squatted down and slowly moved towards the stone tiger on his left.

He had just moved to the foot of Shi Hu on the left, and only the sound of footsteps was heard, but it came from the side of the stone archway. Li Qiufeng's heart sank, and he secretly thought that the person who made the sound was extremely light, and he had already arrived near the stone wall of Shajiabao, why did there be footsteps from the stone archway?

He knew that if he squatted next to Shi Hu like this, he would definitely be discovered by someone who came, and when he turned around, he had already circled behind Shi Hu.

Li Qiufeng had just been hidden, and the person who came had arrived not far in front of Shi Hu. Li Qiufeng heard that this person's footsteps were heavy, either he was seriously injured or he was so tired that he couldn't even hide it. I only heard the sound of panicked footsteps running to the door, and then there was a knock at the door.

Li Qiufeng listened attentively and noticed that the sound of this person knocking on the door was different. There were three very heavy knocks, then two very light knocks, and then two knocks, one heavy and one light. After a while, I heard only a "squeak", thinking that the door had been opened, and then I heard the two of them whispering a few words, and the door closed again.

Li Qiufeng didn't care who came, but he was wary of the person hiding in the woods on the right. But after most of the day, the man never showed up. Li Qiufeng secretly thought that this person could really calm down, but he didn't have time to delay with him. Just as he was thinking about how to lure the man out, he heard the faint sound of breathing not far away. He knew that the man had appeared, and his whole body tensed, and he leaned on top of Shi Hu, his right hand clenching the hilt of the knife.

I could only hear the sound of extremely slow breathing coming from the direction of Shi Hu on the opposite side, and I thought that the person had already walked out and was approaching Shi Hu on the side of Li Qiufeng. Li Qiufeng was surprised, and when the two confronted each other, Li Qiufeng had already noticed that this person was extremely light and alert. It's just that I don't know why after someone entered Shajiabao, this person had the courage to come out of the hiding place.

Li Qiufeng knew that he had found this person hiding near Zuo, and this person must have known that he was hiding in front of the door of Shajiabao. At this moment, since the other party showed up, he didn't have to hide anymore, and at the moment, he held the handle of the knife with his right hand and slowly stood up from behind Shi Hu.

With a few points of starlight, I saw a person standing next to Shi Hu opposite. This person is dressed in a long shirt and has long hair and a shawl, although his face is not very clear, but this clothes are very familiar.

This mysterious character is the moon that broke up with him not long ago.
