Li Qiufeng crouched on the ridge of the roof and poked his head out to look into the courtyard. I saw a fire burning in the middle of the courtyard, and dozens of men were standing around. These men all have swords in their hands, and they sit or stand, and all of them have fierce eyes, and they do not look like good people.

The man who Li Qiufeng had been tracking was standing in the middle of everyone, and under the light of the fire, he saw that this person was in his forties, with a fierce face, and a black-sheathed scimitar hanging from his waist, and he was saying to everyone: "Our Shahe Gang has been spanning Yan Zhao for decades, but we have never suffered such a big loss. Listen, everyone, after a while, the boy entered the city, and everyone went their separate ways. As long as you catch this kid, that hen will be enjoyed by everyone!"

Everyone around cheered in unison, but someone said viciously: "I want that kid's heart and liver to drink!"

Li Qiufeng looked for prestige, but saw a big man in black sitting next to the fire. This man was stout and extremely fierce, but his expression was complacent, and as soon as he finished speaking, he leaned on the ground and coughed.

The man who spoke earlier said: "Did you hear what Deputy Gang Leader Bai said? Everyone worked together to catch that kid and dig out their hearts and livers to serve wine to Deputy Gang Leader Bai!"

Everyone said in unison: "Follow the orders of the helper." ”

Li Qiufeng said in his heart: It turned out that the Shahe Gang gathered here, and I don't know who to find for revenge. The Shahe Gang is not a big faction in the rivers and lakes, it turned out to be just a gang formed by the river workers in charge of Cao Yun to compete for the sphere of influence, and the government also turned a blind eye to the Shahe Gang in order to ensure the smooth flow of Cao Yun. Later, the Shahe Gang became stronger and stronger, and there were a few scum in the gang, who actually guarded and stole themselves, breaking the rules of Caoyun. The officers and soldiers rushed to the Shahe Gang to fetch the helm, and the two sides fought. The members of the Shahe Gang are not afraid of death, they are not as useless as the officers and soldiers, and there are really a few martial arts masters in the gang, and the officers and soldiers suffer a big loss. The governor of Caoyun was worried that he would be attacked by political enemies because of the leakage of this matter, and he didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he wanted to negotiate with the Shahe Gang.

Unexpectedly, this matter was known by Jinyiwei's spies and reported it directly to the emperor. The emperor was furious and sent a brocade guard to fetch people. Jin Yiwei dispatched a large number of good hands and directly found the helmsman of the Shahe Gang, and this battle was fought so fiercely. The leader of the Shahe Gang was killed on the spot, and the masters of the gang were also killed and injured. From then on, it was difficult for the Shahe Gang to interfere in Caoyun, so they had to flee to the Shanhaiguan area and became a very small gang in the northern martial arts.

Li Qiufeng saw that these people were not embarrassed by him, so he wanted to leave secretly. But I heard someone in the courtyard: "Helper, how would your old man know that kid will go to the Gu family's old store today?"

The gang leader said: "Stupid! There is now only an inn left in the Gu family's old shop in the entire Yong'an City, looking at that kid's behavior, there is no doubt that he is the son of a big family, how can he sleep on the streets? Not to mention that he also has a chick who does not know martial arts, and he will definitely rest in the Gu family's old store tonight." At that time, our brothers only need to catch turtles in the urn, and we are not afraid that this kid will be able to fly out of our palms with wings. ”

Li Qiufeng heard that the gang leader said that it was a young man with a woman who didn't know martial arts, and he immediately listened attentively. But the people in the courtyard then drank wine and ate meat, and they didn't mention the matter again after listening to it for a long time. Li Qiufeng didn't dare to delay, and immediately used his light skills to review the old store.

When he was about to arrive at the Gu family's old shop, he remembered that there were still four people left around, so he stopped and hid on a high roof to watch carefully. I saw that the four people left by the Shahe Gang were hiding on the roofs of the four roofs around the Gu family's old shop, thinking that they were spies left by the leader of the Shahe Gang to monitor the situation in the courtyard.

Li Qiufeng quietly jumped onto a roof on the west side, tiptoed behind a member of the Shahe Gang who was lying on the roof and was watching in the courtyard, and poked the "Fengfu Acupoint" on the back of this person with one finger, and the person snorted and immediately fainted. Li Qiufeng lifted him up gently, jumped into a dilapidated house outside the back wall of the Gu family's old shop, and placed the Shahe Gang in the house. Then he painted the gourd in the same way, but with a cup of tea, he had already poured out the remaining three gangsters and put them all into the dilapidated house.

When he returned to the guest room, Yan Dufei was drinking tea. He told Yan Dufei about the people he had just seen in the Shahe Gang, and finally said: "Listen to what the Shahe Gang leader said, nine times out of ten, it was the girl from the Murong family who injured the Bai Deputy Gang Leader. This girl will also come to the Gu family's old store tonight, if she meets Xu Yingyang, the two sides will inevitably fight, and things are a little tricky. ”

Yan Dufei frowned and said, "This girl is not afraid of heaven and earth, it's good to suffer a little hardship." It's just that if she fights in this store, it will be detrimental to our next move. How can you think of a way to get her away?"

Li Qiufeng smiled bitterly: "I just don't know why she formed a bond with the Shahe Gang again." If she is allowed to make trouble in the rivers and lakes, I am afraid that in less than half a year, the Murong family will offend half of the martial arts. ”

While the two were talking, they suddenly heard the sound of footsteps, so they stopped talking. At that time, the footsteps were still far away from the guest room, but the two of them had deep internal strength, and they had already heard the footsteps.

The footsteps walked to the door, paused for a moment, and then someone knocked lightly on the door twice and said, "Are the two brothers there?"

Yan Dufei heard Zhuang Hengyun's voice, nodded at Li Qiufeng at the moment, walked to the door and opened the door. Zhuang Hengyun flashed into the room, clasped his hands into fists and said, "It's better for the two brothers to hurry up." ”

Li Qiufeng said: "Have you all arrived?"

Zhuang Hengyun shook his head and said, "Along the way, in order not to let Xu Yingyang notice anything wrong, Brother Yu deliberately asked everyone to walk slower. There is a fork in the road at the entrance of Beizhen, one leads to Jinan, Shandong, and the other road leads to Yong'an City. We all deliberately talked around Xu Yingyang, and then embarked on the road to Yong'an City. After passing the entrance of Beizhen, Brother Yu asked me to go first and arrange accommodation for everyone, so I left early and arrived here first. It is estimated that it will take more than an hour for the team to arrive. ”

Yan Dufei said: "Didn't Xu Yingyang notice anything wrong?"

Zhuang Hengyun said: "We changed the route, but he didn't notice it." Brother Yu has been with him, deliberately pulling things around with him, and not giving him the opportunity to think about it. It's just that Brother Yu secretly told us that we will go to the Gu family's old store today, and we will be able to enter the Eight Treasures Lotus Mountain tomorrow. The arrow is on the bow, it has to be sent, and now things can't be delayed any longer. Brother Yu meant that he would have a showdown with Xu Yingyang tonight, if he rushed to this troubled water, everything would be easy. If this man is in trouble, he will be him tonight!"

Li Qiufeng said in a trembling voice: "Xu Yingyang is a thousand households of Jinyi Weibei Town, if he is killed, this is a rare big case in the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that if we escape to the ends of the earth, Jinyi Wei will not let us go!"

Zhuang Hengyun said: "Things have come to this point, and we can't turn back." Since everyone worshiped Guan Gong and knocked their heads to the ground, they had to live and die together and conspire with each other. Besides, if we get the treasure and each share a large sum of silver, we can go overseas and enjoy ourselves, why bother to suffer this bird in the Central Plains?!

Yan Dufei slapped his palms and said: "Second Brother Zhuang is right, our brothers are all men who lick blood on the knife, and they have been born and died on the rivers and lakes all these years, and they have to be oppressed by the imperial court. Tonight, if Xu Yingyang knows the current affairs, if he makes a slight move, our brothers will join forces to deal with him, no matter how high his martial arts are, I am afraid that he will not be able to escape justice. ”

Li Qiufeng saw that the two of them were talking murderously, but he just shook his head vigorously and said, "Although Xu Yingyang is walking with us alone, I am afraid that the master of Jinyiwei will be watching on the side." Even if we can kill Xu Yingyang, with the means of Jinyiwei, we only need to fly pigeons to pass the book, and a large number of Jinyiwei will be killed later. Besides, Yun Feiyang will definitely mobilize the defenders of the Imperial Tomb and besiege us in Yong'an City. At that time, no matter how high our martial arts are, if we clash with the army, we will inevitably end up with no bones. ”

Yan Dufei and Zhuang Hengyun glanced at each other, and Zhuang Hengyun said, "What do you think Brother Li has?"

Li Qiufeng said: "It's best not to do it, tie Xu Yingyang here, and let's secretly go to Babao Lotus Mountain." ”

Zhuang Hengyun shook his head and said, "This Xu Yingyang is very cunning, he didn't even drink the water handed to him by Brother Yu along the way, so he really didn't have a chance to start." ”

Yan Dufei said: "According to the two of you, Yun Feiyang sent this person to follow Master Yu Zhuang for what?

Zhuang Hengyun said: "This joint Brother Yu has also thought about it. He said that Yun Feiyang must have heard some rumors, so he rushed to Tongzhou to have a showdown with Brother Yu. ”

"Showdown?" said Li Qiufeng.

Zhuang Hengyun hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, Yun Feiyang knows that our Five Tiger Villa wants to make a big deal. ”

"What?" Li Qiufeng and Yan Dufei exclaimed in unison, their faces changed drastically, and their hearts were terrified.
