Chapter 42
Li Qiufeng saw that the beggar looked frightened, and he didn't dare to lie, so he immediately said, "Where are these dog thieves hiding now?"
The beggar said: "I heard that the Taishan faction entered Yong'an City yesterday, and now lives in the west of the city, the Hengshan faction arrived this morning, it is the road led by our beggar gang, and lives in the Tianyi pawnshop in the south of the city, our beggar gang also arrived last night, several elders live in the Chenghuang Temple in the east of the city, and the north of the city is heard to be the territory of the Kunlun faction, but the master of the Kunlun faction is very mysterious, and we have no news." However, our Elder Guan has already passed down the word that the disciples of the Beggar Gang are not allowed to enter the north of the city, so as not to conflict with the Kunlun faction. β
Li Qiufeng asked a few more words, the beggar was just an ordinary disciple in the beggar gang, his status was extremely low, and he didn't know much about it. Li Qiufeng saw that he couldn't ask anything more, so he kicked him out with a "bang", turned around and left.
Li Qiufeng was anxious, and ran straight to the Gu family's old store. After walking for more than half a mile, I suddenly saw a person standing dozens of steps away.
Li Qiufeng slowly stopped, slowly unwrapped the cloth bag, and took out the knife and held it in his hand.
The man still had his back to the strong autumn wind. I saw him dressed in a black gauze robe, wearing a black gauze hat, with his left hand behind his back, and a long sword in his right hand.
At this time, there were only the two of them on the long street, and everything in heaven and earth was slaughtered.
Li Qiufeng took a step forward, this step was extremely slow, but after he lifted his foot, a deep footprint was left on the ground.
The man remained motionless, and though the wind blew the weeds on the roadside, the man in black remained unmoved, and the two long ribbons of yarn behind the gauze hat hung motionless behind his back as if they had been filled with lead.
Li Qiufeng knew that this person's internal strength was concentrated in his whole body at the moment, and he was preparing to go. Once this move is attacked, it is bound to be an earth-shattering shock.
But there is no way back for the strong autumn wind. Although he did not look back, he already realized that the back road had been cut off.
Li Qiufeng approached the man in black step by step, and when he walked ten steps behind the man in black, he slowly stopped.
The man in black still didn't move, and Li Qiufeng said in a deep voice: "Which senior of the Huashan faction is Your Excellency?"
"Liu Yong. The man said softly.
Li Qiufeng was startled and said, "Star Picking Swordsman?!"
"Don't dare. Liu Yong said slowly.
The Huashan faction is one of the famous and decent factions in the rivers and lakes, and the Huashan swordsmanship is unique in the rivers and lakes, and the prestige is no longer under the Wudang faction. "Star Picking Swordsman" Liu Yong is a great master in the epicenter of the Central Plains, and in the past year, he once stabbed seven candles with a sword, so he got the name of "Star Picking Swordsman". It is said that the high level of martial arts is no longer under the head of the Huashan faction, Shangguan Hong.
Li Qiufeng said: "Your Excellency is a senior in the rivers and lakes, why bother to wade through this troubled water in this small Yong'an City, and lower your status in vain." β
Liu Yong slowly turned around, and saw that this famous "star-picking swordsman" was about forty years old, with a white face and a short beard under his chin, just like a well-educated Confucian. If it weren't for the long sword in his hand, it would be hard to believe that he was actually a martial arts master.
"Are you Zhu Ming or Zhou Jingtian?" Liu Yong asked, then shook his head and said, "You are not any of them, because they are not as young as you. β
Li Qiufeng said: "In the autumn wind, I have seen Senior Liu. β
Liu Yong said: "Li Qiufeng? β
Li Qiufeng said: "If the husband doesn't change his name or change his surname, why use a fake name to deceive people?"
Liu Yong frowned and said, "I haven't heard of your name in the rivers and lakes. But your martial arts are amazing. β
Li Qiufeng said: "Don't dare, in front of Senior Liu, how dare the younger generation be abrupt?"
Liu Yong said: "Are you the protΓ©gΓ© of Yu Changchang's gang?"
Li Qiufeng shook his head and said, "No." Li just went to do one thing with Yu Daxia and others, and he had no deep friendship with them. β
Liu Yong said: "I want to know what you want to do?"
Li Qiufeng said: "I want to know what Huashan sent to Yong'an City to do?"
Liu Yong said: "I came here to want to know where and what to do in Wuhu Villa?"
Li Qiufeng said: "Right now, so many gangs in the rivers and lakes have gathered in Yong'an City, what they want to know is no different from Senior Liu. Although the Huashan faction's martial arts are high, if I leak the news to Senior Liu, these gangs will inevitably be embarrassed by Senior Liu. If the five elders of Mount Tai join forces to fight against Liu's predecessors, I am afraid that no matter how high the martial arts of the predecessors are, it will be difficult to resist. β
Liu Yong said: "So, it's good for me that you don't tell me the news?"
Li Qiufeng shook his head and said, "Not only for the good of my predecessors, but also for my own good." β
Liu Yong nodded and said, "I didn't expect that after three years of retreat, there would be a number one person like you in the rivers and lakes, which is really terrifying." It's just that the future is difficult, and I hope you can turn evil into good fortune. β
Li Qiufeng said: "Thank you seniors for your advice." "Then lift your feet and go.
When the two passed by, Liu Yong said, "Which teacher's disciple is Your Excellency?"
Li Qiufeng said as he walked: "My master doesn't allow me to say his name, and I ask my seniors to forgive me." β
Liu Yong said: "When the matter is over, I want to learn a few tricks with you, I don't know if I want to appreciate my face?"
Li Qiufeng said: "But according to the orders of the seniors, there is no one to follow." β
Liu Yong nodded and said, "I won't stop you today, but I'm not sure I'll beat you." β
Li Qiufeng had already walked more than ten steps away at this time, and when he heard Liu Yong say this, a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "I am not better than my predecessors." β
After Li Qiufeng hurried back to his old shop, he immediately told Yu Changyuan all the news he saw and heard in Yong'an City, but skipped the section on rescuing Murong Danyan. Hearing that a large number of people from the rivers and lakes had poured into Yong'an City, everyone was greatly shocked. Yu Changchang said: "The Taishan faction is rampant in Shandong, although it is a famous and decent family, but it has done a lot of business without this line over the years, and it is not surprising that they have done this kind of thing." It's just that the reputation of the Huashan faction and the Kunlun faction has always been good, so why do you want to rush to this troubled water?
Yan Dufei said: "I think someone deliberately released the wind to let these martial arts experts rush to Yong'an City, he is so troubled that he fishes in troubled waters, and he is a chestnut in the fire, this person's ambition is really not small." β
Yu Changchang paced a few steps in the room and said, "Now that the enemy is attacking in a big way, we have to think of a way to get out as soon as possible. β
At this time, I only heard Zhuang Ding outside the door say: "Second Zhuang Master, you are finally back, and the big Zhuang Master is waiting for them in a hurry." β
When Yu Changchang heard that Zhuang Hengyun had rushed back, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly walked to the door to greet him. I saw Zhuang Hengyun jump off the horse, followed by three horses, and the three people on the horse also turned over and dismounted.
Zhuang Hengyun said to Yu Changchang: "Big brother, I'm rushing back." β
Yu Changchang said: "Everyone, please sit in the room." He raised his eyes and looked at the three people behind Zhuang Hengyun. Seeing that these three people are all in their thirties, they walk with a tiger and a tiger, they are very strong, and their martial arts are obviously not weak.
Everyone returned to the house, Zhuang Hengyun said: "I went to Tianmen to see Donald Dart, after reading the eldest brother's handwritten letter, the old dart head immediately gathered people and prepared to come to help." β
As soon as he said this, a small discussion suddenly occurred in the hall. Everyone in the Five Tiger Villa was overjoyed. Zhuang Hengyun continued: "The old dart head was afraid that the eldest brother would be anxious, so he sent three dart masters from the Xingyuan Dart Bureau to come first, and the old dart head arrived later. β
Yu Changchang was happy in his heart, and hugged his fists at the three dart masters of the Xingyuan Dart Bureau and said, "Thank you three friends for coming to help with the boxing, and you haven't asked the three Gao surnames yet?"
The man at the head bowed and returned the salute and said, "Junior, Tang Wanxiang, meet the owner of Yu Zhuang." β
When Yu Changchang heard that this person's surname was Tang, he couldn't help asking: "Donald's dart head is your Excellency's ......"
The man saw that Yu Changchang was a little suspicious, and hurriedly said: "Donald Dart is the father. β
Yu Xianyuan laughed and said: "I can't imagine that after a few years, even you are so old." After that, he patted Tang Wanxiang lightly on the shoulder a few times, and his expression was very affectionate.
Zhuang Hengyun introduced the other two darts to Yu Changyuan. After everyone sat down, Zhuang Hengyun said, "Why don't you see the fifth brother?"
Yu Changchang's face sank, and he said, "The fifth child was plotted by the dog thief, and unfortunately ......."
Zhuang Hengyun was shocked and said, "Who did this poison?"
Zhu Ming said on the side: "It was someone from the Taishan faction who did it." Presumably, the five elders of Mount Tai have now arrived in Yong'an City. β
Zhuang Hengyun muttered: "If the five elders of Mount Tai arrive, I am afraid that ......"
Yan Dufei said: "Second Brother Zhuang, just now you entered the city from the north gate, didn't you be intercepted by the enemy along the way?"
Zhuang Hengyun shook his head and said: "The eldest brother told me not to entangle with the enemy, because I took Brother Tang and the others into the city as soon as I quickly stepped up, maybe the enemy didn't have time to ambush yet." β
Yu Changchang briefly said what happened today, Zhuang Hengyun heard that the master of the Huashan faction had also arrived in Yong'an City, and his heart couldn't help but feel a pang, and said, "Big brother, I'm afraid that something is wrong with this matter." β
