Li Qiufeng listened to the temple Zhu talk endlessly, and finally took advantage of the moment when he stopped to catch his breath, and hurriedly said: "Fang Cai Wan Congyun and others came, saying that every year during the Lantern Festival, the wing room in the backyard of the City God Temple will be rented......

Miao Zhu nodded again and again, and before Li Qiufeng finished speaking, he said with a smile: "This is not false. But Uncle Li can rest assured, even if the king of heaven and Lao Tzu comes, you can live in peace and stability. You are a distinguished guest of the small temple, if it weren't for your Uncle Li, the villain would have been killed by robbers that night. ”

Li Qiufeng said: "Brother misunderstood. It's not that I'm worried that you'll drive me away, but if some official's family lives in the backyard and accidentally bumps into these people, I'm afraid I'll get into trouble. ”

Miaozhu smiled: "Uncle don't worry. Although you have only condescended to stay in the small temple for more than half a month, you have a moderate demeanor, and the villain is extremely admired. It's only someone else who is going to mess with you, so where are you going to mess with someone? And it's not the family members of the officials who come every year. These people will go to the main hall at midnight on the night of the Lantern Festival to offer incense, and rarely go out after staying. Uncle Yi Li can live with peace of mind, so don't worry. ”

Li Qiufeng thought about Miao Zhu's words again and again, and asked, "How does my brother know that these people are not family members of officials?"

Miao Zhu said: "The villain has lived in this temple since he was a child, and he has been counting it for thirty or forty years. In fact, every year, there are more than a dozen families who go back and forth to live in the backyard wing. It's just that some of the old ones are dead, and new ones are coming......"

Li Qiufeng's heart sank, and he said, "More than a dozen families? Brother means that these dozen families rent the backyard every year?"

Miaozhu nodded and said, "Not bad." None of these people are from our city. The farthest ones came from Lingnan, and there were also those from outside the city. The villain worked as a servant in this temple when he was a teenager, and at that time, every Lantern Festival, it was these dozen families who lived in the backyard wing. At first, I didn't care, but after more than ten years, the villain made a temple blessing, and received these people every year, only to find that they came and went, and it has always been these dozen families. For decades, those who are old have almost never come, and they have passed away. And those young people who were originally have become middle-aged and old people......"

When Miao Zhu said this, he suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "But there are two old guys who come every year." One surname is Ji, and the other surname is Han. When the villain came to the temple when he was nine years old, these two people must come to the Lantern Festival. Look at the attitude of the dozen or so families towards these two people, I think the two of them have a very high status. But if they can come this year, they will be **ten years old. ”

Li Qiufeng's heart was bright, and the old man surnamed Ji that Miao Zhu said was undoubtedly the old lady Nie of Fengmen Village. And the old man surnamed Han thought to be the "Old Lady Lu" in the Nie family's mouth. This person is like a dragon who sees the head and the end, and has never shown up. However, since he has "Han" as his surname, he thinks that he is in the line of Han Qusi, so he is naturally the Lu family of the four families in Fengmen Village.

Miao Zhu saw Li Qiufeng with a thoughtful look, and then said: "These dozen or so families have always been placed in the small temple by the yamen, and as for their origins, the villain doesn't dare to ask. In the past few years, it was Master Zhang from the county yamen who brought them to the temple, and the meals were also prepared by the yamen, which saved a lot of trouble. ”

Li Qiufeng nodded and said, "Since I am not an official figure, I am relieved." ”

Miao Zhu smiled: "Even if you are an official figure, you don't have to worry. This year's Lantern Festival was advanced by more than half a month, and the two families in Lingnan and Shuzhong will definitely not be able to catch up. You can live boldly and boldly, and no one dares to be disrespectful to the uncle. "ァ新ヤ~(8)~1~Chinese 網ωωω.. còм

The two chatted a few more words, and Li Qiufeng went straight out of the City God Temple. He walked all the way south, thinking, "It's getting clearer. Every year during the Lantern Festival, the heads of the Nie, Lu, Zhao, Du and Hua families of Fengmen Village will take the opportunity to gather in the City God Temple. As for whether they came to worship the city god Niangniang, or in the name of worshipping the gods, they met to discuss things, it is unknown. In the past few hundred years, the position of the magistrate of Xiuwu County has been controlled by the five families in Fengmen Village. With the protection of the government, every Lantern Festival, the important people of the five families can live in the City God Temple with confidence and boldness. The Japanese must have also found out the news, so they took advantage of the undercover agent in the Henan Inspectorate to move Liang Huan, the envoy of the Inspectorate, to advance the Lantern Festival, so that the heads of the families in Fengmen Village hurried to the City God Temple, and then wiped them out. At present, the various sects have left Xiuwu County, and the leaders of the Nie, Lu, Zhao, and Du families have gathered in the city, which is the best time for the Japanese to wipe out the four families in one fell swoop, and Yanagi Zongyan will definitely not let go of this opportunity. ”

Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng thought again: "But why do the families in Fengmen Village gather in Xiuwu County every year? It is the most appropriate place to be isolated from the outside of the mountain. Why do you want to hide your whereabouts and come to this temple to do something?"

He thought as he walked, and before he knew it, he had arrived at the gate of Nancheng in Xiuwu County. But he saw that there were many pedestrians coming and going at the gate of the city, and it was very lively. Although there were sergeants guarding the city and the city, these sergeants gathered in twos and threes, some chatting and laughing, and some leaning against the city wall, lazily basking in the sun. Several sergeants sat on the ground with swords and guns, dozing off with their heads down.

Seeing this, Li Qiufeng was depressed, thinking that if the Japanese invaded in a big way, he was afraid that he would be able to rush into the city in the blink of an eye. It's okay for these soldiers to scare the people, but if you want to rely on them to resist the Japanese invaders, it's tantamount to a fool's dream.

Li Qiufeng raised his head and looked at the arrow tower in the city. I saw that the arrow tower was two stories high and was already a little dilapidated. Withered grass grows from the roof tiles, and the cornices are even more dilapidated and look crumbling. Li Qiufeng thought to himself that there should be lanterns in the arrow tower. Mr. Liu, Master Chu and the others are on their way right now, and they will take advantage of the night to go back to the outside of Xiuwu County until tomorrow night. If the Japanese invaders make any moves, I only need to snatch the lanterns in the arrow tower, hang them on both sides of the arrow tower, and Mr. Liu will lead people into the city. These three heads are strong in martial arts, and their disciples are all shrewd and capable, and it can be said that each of them can defeat ten with one. In addition, Xiuwu County, Luoyang Mansion, and the Yamen of the Inspectorate were caught quickly, as well as the children of the Nie, Lu, Zhao, and Du families, and they should be able to fight against the Japanese Kou. Moreover, Hu Kun's 3,000 Ruyang Wei Iron Cavalry are also outside the city, and they can be reinforced at any time. In this battle with the Japanese Invaders, there should be a sixty percent chance of victory. New Bayi Chinese Network first release m.. com

Li Qiufeng looked up and down the gate of the southern city, and thought about how to go up to the city to snatch the lantern, and then turned around and walked north. It's just that he just walked more than 100 steps, and he was greeted by several men hurrying over. One person happened to meet Li Qiufeng, his face was stunned at first, and then he showed joy, and shouted happily: "Found it, find Commander Li!"

Li Qiufeng was stunned, looked intently, and saw that these men were a little familiar, as if they had seen them somewhere. But if you think about it, you can't remember it.

While he was thinking about it, several men had already rushed to him. The man at the head shouted happily: "Let's find Commander Li first!

When Li Qiufeng heard him say this, he immediately guessed that these people must be Mei Dali's apprentices. Seeing that everyone was excited, he thought about what news he had found out, so he immediately said, "A few people are in a hurry to find me, but I don't know what is going on?"

The man at the head said: "Commander Li, my master took us to inquire about the news in the city, and it turned out that many people suddenly came to the north of the city. These men had settled in the abandoned mansion in the north of the city, with a dozen wagons and fifty or sixty boxes of all sizes. Master Zhang of the county yamen personally led people to greet him outside the north gate, and it seems that these people have a lot of background. ”

Another man said: "Our brother outside the north city also sent news, saying that there are several other teams of people who are also approaching the county seat, and it is estimated that they will enter the city at noon." After my master found out the news, he rushed to the City God Temple to report to Commander Li, but he pounced. He was afraid that he would delay the important matter of Commander Li, so he divided us into several teams and searched for Commander Li everywhere in the city. Fortunately, a few of us were lucky to be the first to find Commander Li. Haha, haha. ”

Li Qiufeng saw that he was proud, and thought that Mei Dali must have promised them, and if he found himself, he would give them benefits. He smiled slightly, took out a few pieces of loose silver from his bosom and handed them to him, and said, "Thank you, brothers, take this silver to drink tea." ”
