At this time, there were more and more gang leaders gathered around Li Qiufeng and Liu Yong, and finally even the head of the Taihua faction, Qingfeng Daoren, came over. Liu Yong told everyone about the situation here, and finally said: "Gang leaders and leaders, for the time being, let's take refuge in this cave for the time being, please restrain the brothers and disciples in the gang, and don't walk around." The road in this cave has many twists and turns, and if you enter it by mistake, you are afraid that there will be casualties. ”

The leaders of the gangs nodded their heads and after some more discussion, they dispersed. Liu Yong was about to turn around and leave, but Li Qiufeng gently pulled him and gave him a look. Liu Yong understood, so he stayed. After the leaders of the gangs left, Li Qiufeng lowered his voice and told him about the Jingxin Temple. Liu Yong was shocked and said, "I didn't expect this cave to have this origin." Yao Guangxiao was a great man more than 100 years ago, and the world regarded him as the reincarnation of Zhuge Liang and Liu Bowen. It's just that this person is dedicated to treachery, playing conspiracy, making a difficult battle, killing and poking too badly, and he is not a chivalrous person. Liu once heard the predecessors of the Huashan faction say that although Yao Guangxiao is a member of the Liberation Sect, he actually pursues the art of yin and yang in Taoism. It is said that this person's master was a Taoist who was proficient in swordsmanship, and was later defeated by Zhang Sanfeng, the patriarch of the Wudang faction. At that time, Zhang Sanfeng was already famous all over the world, and he was a generation of grandmasters admired by people in the martial arts. It stands to reason that being defeated by Zhang Sanfeng's sword is not a shameful thing for this person, not to mention that it is said that he fought with Zhang Sanfeng for more than 200 moves, and then he was defeated by the Taiji sword created by Zhang Sanfeng. It's just that this Taoist person is worried about this matter, but he can't think of the martial arts to crack the Tai Chi swordsmanship, and his temperament is becoming more and more extreme, and later he accepted Yao Guangxiao as an apprentice, in addition to teaching him Taoism and martial arts, even this extreme temperament was also passed on to Yao Guangxiao. It's just that this Yao Guangxiao Qing is better than the blue out of the blue, not only became a generation of martial arts masters, but also integrated the three religions of interpretation, Taoism, and Confucianism, and was familiar with the art of yin and yang, and was really a great figure in the Ming Dynasty. It's a pity that it was used by King Yan, and it eventually caused a catastrophe. Since this meditation temple was built by him, there must be a dense number of murder organs in it, so let's not provoke it. ”

Li Qiufeng said: "Mr. Liu, I also know that this Yao Guangxiao is an extremely troublesome character. But to tell the truth, this cave is enough to be used by tens of thousands of troops, weapons, grain, gunpowder and other baggage, if Shajiabao is obtained, they can attack the capital within three days, at that time, it will be a great chaos in the world, and the lives will be ruined. ”

Liu Yong didn't know that Shajiabao had been controlled by Dongchang and Liusheng Zongyan, and when he heard Li Qiufeng say this, he was startled and said, "Attack the capital within three days?

Li Qiufeng said: "Shajiabao Fort Master Sha Yiming passed away more than ten years ago, and the person we saw in Shajiabao is a fake. He is Sha Yiming's younger brother Sha Yilu!"

Li Qiufeng briefly told Liu Yong about Sha Yiming's martial arts competition with Yan Wuji, and finally said: "Sha Yilu pretended to be Sha Yiming, colluded with Dongchang and the Liusheng family, and wanted to subvert the Ming Dynasty. They have gathered two or three thousand evil figures in Shajiabao, plus the scum of the rivers and lakes that the Liusheng clan has bought in recent years, and the rebels who have been sheltered by Yun Feiyang in the green forest cottages around the capital recently, I am afraid that the number will not be less than twenty or thirty thousand. If they take out the weapons and baggage in this cave, these two or thirty thousand people will be supplied with baggage, and it will be easy to take the capital. It's just that these people don't know that Yao Guangxiao left a weapon in this cave, and we have to destroy this cave before them, and at worst, we have to hide the weapons and baggage, so as not to be used by traitors. ”

When Liu Yong heard Li Qiufeng say this, his heart was shocked, and he muttered: "Sha Yiming has been powerful in martial arts for decades, and I didn't expect this person to be long gone. It's just that since Yan Wuji escaped from Shajiabao, why has there been no news for more than ten years? I have also heard the name of Yan Wuji back then, and I know that this person is arrogant and arrogant, and he is bent on carrying forward the Jiangxi Yan family and becoming a big family that holds martial arts. The battle between him and Sha Yiming was not decided, and it can even be said that he has won in this competition. Since this person escaped from Shajiabao, how could he be willing to live in seclusion? What's more, after the first battle between the two, the Yan family became weaker and weaker, and within three years it was close to extinction. Yan Wuji attaches the most importance to the status of the Yan family in the martial arts, how can he sit back and watch the family overturn? This thing doesn't make sense, it really doesn't make sense!"

Li Qiufeng never thought about this, listening to what Liu Yong said was the Tao, but he was also thoughtful in his heart. Liu Yong saw that he was silent, and then said: "When we came to Shajiabao this time, we originally thought that we could see a duel of martial arts masters that is rare in a hundred years, but I didn't expect that there would be so many twists and turns. It seems that as Brother Li said, someone dug a huge trap and trapped us all in it. ”

Li Qiufeng pondered for a moment and said to Liu Yong: "It seems that they have been planning this conspiracy for many years, and now that the time has come, they will take the opportunity to launch ......"

Liu Yong was stunned and said, "The time has come? Why do you say that the time has come now?"

Li Qiufeng said: "Mr. Liu is not an official in the imperial court, and I am afraid that I don't know much about the party disputes in the imperial court. This incident originated from the dispute between Lord Zhang and Lord Wang the year before last. At first, there was a vacancy in the post of the two Zhejiang Inspectors of Salt and Imperial History, and Lord Zhang and Lord Wang both wanted to place their protégés in this position, so they instructed their respective disciples in the Ministry of Officials to recommend their own people. When the excerpt of the ministry was handed to the cabinet, the two naturally refused to agree, and even quarreled, and as a result, the matter became bigger and bigger, and the two factions blamed each other and competed to attack each other. Later, Lord Wang put on a notebook, exposing that the two Huai Yanzheng had purchased land and property in Jiangnan, bought the people's land, and concealed the grain tax and did not report it. The two Huai Yanzheng are the protégés of Lord Zhang, and Lord Wang's target is naturally Lord Zhang's party behind Lord Yanzheng. How did Lord Zhang be willing to wait for death, and immediately gathered his fellow parties, and they all went up to expose and attack Lord Wang's faction. The matter broke out from this, and in the end, it was out of control, and even the elders before the emperor were involved. These bigwigs have their own forces, and they are intertwined, you have me, I have you, if you trace the source upward, you can even be implicated in the Hu Weiyong case and the Lanyu case at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, which is also mixed with the feud between Jianwenyu and Yan Wangfu after the Battle of Jingyan, as well as the entanglement between the vassal king and the court who failed to fight for the throne. In the past hundred years, the princes and officials who have lost power have never given up, and the faction that has gained power has always been guarding against the resurgence of the opponent. This hatred rolled like a snowball and grew bigger and bigger, like a rope, tighter and tighter, and finally it was time for the various factions to draw their swords against each other. What's more, the Fuso warriors sneaked into the Central Plains and were ready to move, and the Tartars outside the gate were also eyeing them. Mr. Liu, now we are surrounded by enemies, each with a knife in his hand, and they all want us to help them stab others, and then they stab us again. If we don't help them stab us, all these people's knives will stab us. ”

The more Liu Yong listened, the more frightened he became, and after Li Qiufeng finished speaking, his face was already as pale as earth, and he was speechless for a while. Li Qiufeng said: "Right now, the knives in the hands of these people are all aimed at us, if you want to live, it is absolutely impossible to resist hard, you can only think of a way to get out first, and then find a way to retreat." Since we can't leave the cave for the time being, it's better to go to the Meditation Temple first and see if there is any way out. ”

Liu Yong knew that Yao Guangxiao was an extremely difficult character to mess with, so he didn't want to take risks. It's just that right now, as Li Qiufeng said, there is no basis for advancing or retreating, and going to Jingxin Temple to see may be able to find a way out. He nodded and said to Li Qiufeng in a low voice: "Let's go and have a look, but don't alarm too many people." Otherwise, the crowd will flock away, and it will cause trouble. ”

Li Qiufeng nodded yes, and said to Liu Yong: "Mr. Liu, which friends do you think is more appropriate to invite with you?"

Liu Yong pondered for a moment and said the names of several heads, and Li Qiufeng nodded in agreement. Liu Yong immediately turned around and went to contact the heads of the house, and Li Qiufeng called Zhu Sanjia and told him about his decision to go to Jingxin Temple to find out. Although Zhu Sanjia had no objection, he said with some worry: "Li Gongzi, I can only guarantee that I will not activate the mechanism when I enter the courtyard, if I want to enter the main hall and the wings, I am afraid that there will be danger......

Li Qiufeng said: "This Li has already thought of it. When I was discussing with Mr. Liu, I had already asked him to bring his friends who were proficient in the news of the organs. We have three or four thousand heroes here, and it is not difficult to find a few masters who are proficient in the mechanism. Even if they are not as powerful as Yao Guangxiao, there is always some way to ensure that we advance and retreat safely. ”

When he said this, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Murong Danyan walking over with a smile. Li Qiufeng's heart sank, and he hurriedly said to Zhu Sanjia: "Brother Zhu, don't tell Miss Murong about this......"

Before his words fell, Murong Danyan had already arrived at the two of them, and said with a smile: "Xiao Lao Wu is really ignorant, he said that the tiger can't go into the water, I see that this Ah Er is very powerful, let alone going into the water, maybe he will soar into the clouds!"

Li Qiufeng was afraid that she would know that everyone wanted to explore the matter of Jingxin Temple, and with her temperament, she would definitely go with her. Thinking about what kind of person Yao Guangxiao is, the meditation temple will definitely be full of murderous opportunities, if you take Murong Danyan with you, you will inevitably be restrained, and it will be difficult to protect her. It was because he heard Murong Danyan speak, so he had to deal with it casually, bent on taking her away.

Who knows what you are afraid of, the more you will come. Murong Danyan was dancing with his own hands to tell the interesting story of Tiger Ah Er, and Liu Yong had already brought more than a dozen good players from the rivers and lakes over. Among them, there are the leaders and heads of major gangs such as Kunlun, Songshan, Qingcheng, Diancang, Liuhe, and the Beggars, as well as a man in Tsing Yi, who is about forty years old, with a pair of eyes full of brilliance and very strong.

When Li Qiufeng saw Liu Yong and the others arriving, he thought that things were going to be bad, and when he was about to speak, he heard Liu Yong say to him: "Brother Li, you know these gang leaders and leaders. It's just this brother, Liu still wants to introduce you to it. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the man in Tsing Yi and said: "This friend has the surname Situ, and his single name is the word 'bridge', and he is the heir of the Hua family in the capital. ”
