Chapter 998
Miao Zhu and the old servant trembled with fright, and almost collapsed to the ground.
Li Qiufeng said: "You have also heard the legends outside. To tell you the truth, I am indeed a Beijing official who went from the capital to Xiuwu County to investigate the case. There will inevitably be a bloody storm in the City God Temple today, and the two of them want to stay alive, so leave here now. When the chaos is together, the two of them just want to escape, but they are afraid that they will not be able to escape. ”
Li Qiufeng's voice fell, and he only heard the sound of "plop", but the old servant's eyes were dark, and he fell to the ground and fainted.
When Miao Zhu saw the old servant fall to the ground, he was so frightened that he shook his body a few times, and almost sat on the ground. Fortunately, he was much more courageous than the old servant, and he did not fall down. It's just that the corners of his mouth twitched, and his face turned pale. After a while, I heard him say in a trembling voice, "My lord, you—you're not joking with the villain, are you?"
Li Qiufeng said in a deep voice: "Do you think I'm joking with you? You two hurry up and leave now, stay here, you will definitely die." ”
Miao Zhu gritted his teeth, stood for a moment, stomped his right foot, and said, "Okay, the villain believes the adult." It's just that the villain still has a lot of money and things in the temple, so how can this be good?"
Li Qiufeng knows that this temple wishes love money the most, and he has been a temple blessing in this city god temple for more than ten years, and he wants to make a lot of money for incense. Because he was about to leave his family and business and run away with a word, Miaozhu was naturally unwilling. Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng said: "Brother, you can still make money if you don't have money, if you lose your life, no matter how much money you have, it's someone else's." What's more, my brother just went out to take shelter for a while, and after three or five days, after the matter is over, your brother is still the person in charge of the City God Temple. ”
Miao Zhu was a little relieved at this time, and made a gesture to Li Qiufeng, and said: "Since the adult is in charge, the villain will leave the City God Temple." ”
When he had finished speaking, he turned and picked up a cup of overnight tea from the arched table, and slammed it on the face of the old servant who had fainted to the ground. The old servant groaned twice at the cold tea on his face, and then opened his eyes. Miao Zhu pulled him up from the ground and said to Li Qiufeng: "Adult, villain, let's go." Take care, and we'll see you in a few days. ”
Li Qiufeng saw that Miao Zhu and the old servant supported each other, and staggered out of the temple gate, then closed the temple door and walked slowly to the courtyard. He walked through the courtyard until he walked to the temple gate, and was about to stretch out his left hand to push the temple door open, when he suddenly stopped, and slowly retracted his left hand.
I only heard someone behind me say, "Lord Li, you have to go out so early, is there something wrong?"
Li Qiufeng slowly turned around, but saw that Old Lady Nie and Nie Dingnan had already arrived in the courtyard. Old lady Nie clasped her hands in her big sleeves, her face seemed to be smiling, her eyes were squinted, and she looked at Li Qiufeng with interest. Nie Dingnan stood behind Old Lady Nie and stood respectfully with his hands down.
Li Qiufeng said in a deep voice: "The sky is gloomy early in the morning, and I am afraid that there will be a heavy snowfall. Li got up at a certain time, wanted to walk on the street, and when the snow fell, he looked at the snow scene in Xiuwu County, and it was not in vain to go to Henan. ”
Old Lady Nie smiled slightly and said, "Lord Li is so interested. I don't know what happened to the old man who asked Lord Li last night?"
Li Qiufeng saw that Old Lady Nie looked fearless, and his heart moved. He was originally going to leave the City God Temple, hide near the left, and watch the Wakou fight with Nie, Lu, Zhao, and Du. After Yanagi Zongyan appeared, he would find an opportunity to kill this person. As long as Yanagi Zongyan dies, the Japanese will inevitably be in chaos. At that time, with the combined strength of everyone, they can wipe out the Japanese in one go. As for the grievances and grievances between the Nie, Lu, Zhao, and Du families and Xu Chengzong, Li Qiufeng didn't want to interfere. As long as the Japanese are defeated, these five families want to fight and fight, but they have nothing to do with themselves anyway.
It's just that when he saw the appearance of Old Lady Nie, without the slightest nervous appearance of a big event, he couldn't help but think in his heart that everyone in the Nie family was cunning and scheming. Even if Old Lady Nie didn't know that the would-be would-be Wokou was going to do it today, but tomorrow was the day of the Lantern Festival, so how could Old Lady Nie not be the slightest precaution? If I leave the City God's Temple to watch from the wall, it is better to stay in the temple and see the conspiracy of the Wokou more clearly.
Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng said in a deep voice: "Old lady Nie can rest assured, I have already brought the words." When he said this, he deliberately paused for a moment before he continued: "But Lord Xu's reply, I'm afraid it will disappoint Old Lady Nie." ”
Old lady Nie's face did not change, there was still a slight smile on his face, and he said word by word: "Lord Li brought the words over, he did a big thing for the old man, how could he be disappointed?"
Li Qiufeng walked slowly back into the courtyard, until he reached two feet in front of Old Lady Nie. Nie Dingnan's body moved slightly, and his right hand was already holding the hilt of the sword.
Li Qiufeng stopped and said, "Lord Xu said that the Japanese Brigade is all in the southeast coastal area, even if they sneak into Xiuwu County, they are just a small group of bandits, and they can't make any big waves. You Nie, Lu, Zhao, and Du are like clouds, and if you want to deal with these little thieves, it is naturally not a problem. ”
Li Qiufeng originally thought that after he finished speaking, Old Lady Nie would definitely be unable to hide his frustration. How do you know that Old Lady Nie just smiled slightly and said, "Lord Xu can give a reply, which shows that he has given us enough face." Lord Li is tired, and the old man is grateful. ”
This time it was a big surprise to Qiu Feng, he didn't expect that Old Lady Nie's city was so deep. originally thought that he had the initiative, but he didn't expect that Old Lady Nie would squeeze himself speechless with a gentle word.
I only heard Old Lady Nie continue: "Lord Li went back and forth, and it took about an hour and a half. I think Lord Xu is only fifteen miles away from the city. Once the wolf smoke rose in the city, Lord Xu led people to the City God Temple, and half an hour was enough. is not only not disappointed, but secretly happy. ”
Li Qiufeng's heart sank, and he secretly thought that this old guy was so powerful, and he actually guessed that Jinyiwei was hiding outside the city and not far from the city with the effort he spent on going out last night. It's just that this old guy didn't expect that he deliberately went out of the city for a ride, and he didn't go to see Xu Yingyang at all. The wishful thinking in his heart was only afraid that it would come to naught.
He thought about it again, Old Lady Nie wanted Jinyiwei to intervene, but Xu Chengzong was bent on letting Jinyiwei stand by. The two groups of people were hoping that they would be able to talk to Jinyiwei for them, but they didn't know that they wouldn't see Jinyiwei's figure at all. But it's good that this way, and I have room to maneuver.
Seeing that Li Qiufeng was silent, Old Lady Nie only said that her words shocked this person, and she couldn't help but feel a little proud in her heart. secretly thought that this kid became a hundred households of Jinyi Wei at a young age, but after all, he was shallow in his knowledge, and he could only be played with by himself. Now that the Xu family has been eliminated, just need to use the Japanese to get rid of the Lu, Zhao, and Du families, and the Nie family can walk out of Fengmen Village openly. At that time, with the talents and learning of the children of the Nie family, as well as the gold, silver and jewelry in the Thousand Yin Cave, the outstanding people of the Nie family can not only sit in the position of governor, but even if they become cabinet elders, it is not difficult to become the cabinet elder. Although he is old, he can see that the Nie family is famous all over the world, but it is not in vain.
When the old lady Nie thought of this, she only felt that her whole body was comfortable, and she couldn't help but snort, and said to Li Qiufeng: "The old man knows what Lord Xu means, and he wants us to fight to the death with the widows first, and then Jinyiwei will come forward to clean up the mess." Although our Nie, Lu, Zhao, and Du families are all mountain and grass people, they are very loyal to the imperial court. It was our duty to eliminate the Japanese invaders. Lord Xu said that our four masters are like clouds, which is to put gold on our faces. However, the four families are in one place, and there are also 1,800 people, and it is not difficult to deal with the Japanese invaders. If Lord Li sees Lord Xu, please rest assured. We will do our best to kill the Japanese and make meritorious contributions to the imperial court. As long as Master Xu leads people to cheer for us, the old man will already be grateful. ”
Seeing that Old Lady Nie was so shrewd, Li Qiufeng admired it in his heart, and arched his hand and said: "Old Lady Nie is worthy of being the head of the four families, and it is really impressive to have such knowledge." ”
Old lady Nie shook her head and said, "Where did Lord Li come from, the old man just talked nonsense, but it made Lord Li laugh." Since Lord Li is going out, let's not get in the way of adults. At noon, Lao Yu prepared a table of banquets and invited Lord Han, the prefect of Luoyang, and Lord Huang, the magistrate of Xiuwu County. If Lord Li is fine, why don't you also reward the old man with a face, and have a few drinks with a few adults, I don't know what the adults think?"
