Although Li Qiufeng has made up his mind, it is just that this avenue goes north from the north gate of Luoyang, and goes directly to Taiyuan, Shanxi after crossing the Yellow River, which is the thoroughfare from Henan to Shanxi and Hebei. It is the avenue where people come and go, and it is very lively. From time to time, there were also government post officers and soldiers galloping past on fast horses, stirring up clouds of smoke and dust. Li Qiufeng wanted to catch up with Situ Bridge several times, but because of the constant pedestrians around, he couldn't find a chance to start.

The two walked out for more than twenty miles one after the other, and a huge town appeared in front of them. Li Qiufeng was anxious in his heart, secretly thinking that if he continued to go on like this, would he follow Situ Bridge to cross the Yellow River until Beijing could not succeed? Just as he was hesitating, Situ Qiao had already swaggered into the town. Li Qiufeng had no choice, so he had to follow.

This town is indeed not small, the official road runs through the town from south to north, and all kinds of shops on both sides of the road are lined up one after another, and pedestrians are weaving, which is very lively. It was nearly noon and the taverns were at their busiest. The aroma of food and wine wafted on the official road, attracting the attention of pedestrians.

After Situ Qiao entered the town, his feet slowed down. When he came to the door of a tavern with an apricot yellow wine flag in front of his door, he stopped, turned his head and looked around, and then walked into the tavern. Li Qiufeng blended in the crowd, and when Situ Qiao stopped, he hid behind the crowd. It wasn't until Situ Qiao entered the tavern that he followed the flow of people to the door of the tavern, and glanced into the tavern out of the corner of his eye. It's just that diners at the door of the tavern are in and out, and they can't see what it looks like inside.

Li Qiufeng thought in his heart that this place was already forty or fifty miles away from Luoyang, and then he went forward and arrived at the crossing of the Yellow River. If you don't start again, you will get on the ferry to Situ Bridge, and it will be even more difficult to start. It's better to knock down Situ Bridge with three punches and two kicks here, snatch Situ Qiao's burden and leave, thinking about Situ Qiao's martial arts, but he can't stop himself.

He made up his mind, walked slowly to the door of the tavern, pretended to have a stuffy nose, coughed a few times, covered half of his face with the sleeve of his left hand, and staggered into the tavern.

There were more than twenty tables in the tavern, and it was full of diners. A few juniors were running around sweating profusely, some were cleaning up the tables and stools, and some were serving food on a plate. Some of the diners opened their mouths to chew, and some chatted, mixed with the sound of the pot and spoon rubbing and hitting when stir-frying from the back hall, which can really be said to be full of people and noisy.

After Li Qiufeng entered the tavern, his eyes were like electricity, and he had a full view of the situation in the house. But I saw Situ Qiao sitting at a table against the wall in the east, still carrying his burden, and was slowly tasting a cup of tea. There were four people at the table, and they didn't know each other. Because the food was not served, he sat at the table one by one without squinting, looking a little embarrassed.

Li Qiufeng was afraid that Situ Qiao would recognize him, so he didn't want to sit near him, so he turned his head to look west, but saw that there was a stool vacant next to a table, so he walked over quickly. After he sat down, he saw that there were still five people sitting at the same table, some eating steamed buns and drinking soup, while others were holding wine glasses, drinking and eating a plate of small dishes in front of him, and they were very proud.

Li Qiufeng asked for a bowl of noodles, but his eyes never left Situ Bridge. At this time, Situ Qiao happened to have his back to him, so that he did not have to worry about being discovered by Situ Qiao. Li Qiufeng thought to himself: "It seems that Situ Qiao's food has not been served yet. After a while, while he was eating, I quietly walked over, snatched his baggage and left. Forgive him and don't dare to catch up, even if he wants to chase, he may not be able to catch up. ”

Li Qiufeng made up his mind, and his heart was a lot more relaxed. At this moment, I suddenly heard someone say: "Two bowls of large meat noodles, I want clear soup." ”

Li Qiufeng was stunned, thinking about how this voice was so familiar. He turned his head to look, but saw two more people in the tavern, standing at a table at the door, and they were shouting to Xiao Er to order. Li Qiufeng knew these two people, it was Yu Fan and Yu Chenghei who had repeatedly met in Luoyang City and Emperor Guan's Shengjun Temple.

Li Qiufeng couldn't help but smile bitterly, and thought to himself, he really had a fate with these two people, and he met unexpectedly again and again. He knew that these two people were just petty officials who went to Xiuwu County, although their martial arts were not weak, they had nothing to do with him, so he didn't care. It's just that he glanced at the door without eyes, but he couldn't help but be surprised.

I saw three people in Tsing Yi walking outside the tavern. The three of them looked indifferent, but as they walked past the tavern door, they glanced into the tavern at the same time. In this instant, Li Qiufeng looked at these three people, and there was a vicious aura in his eyes, which made people shudder. And this kind of gaze, Li Qiufeng has seen many times in the past few months.

Li Qiufeng thought to himself: "Why are these people here too? Could it be that I am wrong?"

As he thought about it, three men in Tsing Yi had walked past the tavern. A moment later, two more men in Tsing Yi arrived at the tavern. The two men carried a long, narrow bag in their left hand, apparently with blades hidden inside.

Shortly after the two Tsing Yi men walked in front of the tavern, two more Tsing Yi men walked in front of the tavern. Like the five people who passed in front of them, the two men carried a narrow bag in their left hand, glanced at the tavern in front of the tavern, and then walked slowly.

Li Qiufeng knew that his conjecture was not wrong, and these seven people must be the killers of the Yanagi clan.

Li Qiufeng had encountered the killers of the Yanagi clan many times before, and there were fifty or sixty Fusang killers who died under him. After betraying Yanagi Zongyan month by month, he once said to Li Qiufeng that when the killers of the Yanagi clan kill people, they have always been a group of seven, and they cooperate with each other, which can be said to be seamless.

Li Qiufeng knew that Liu Sheng Zongyan was bent on usurping the Daming Dynasty, but this time he suffered a heavy setback in Hutou Rock and the Imperial Mausoleum, and was forced by Murong Danqing to flee in all directions, which was very embarrassing. Although he bought a lot of martial arts scum in Shajiabao, he was also killed by powerful masters such as Sha Yilu and Sun Ze, and powerful masters such as Morita Kogoro, Feihua, and Zhuyue were also killed. And in the valley under the Tiger Head Rock, he and Xiao Zhanpeng joined forces to kill dozens of killers of the Liusheng clan. It can be said that after this battle, the vitality of the Yanagi family was greatly damaged. Liu Sheng Zongyan was actually played by Liu Kang, Yang Tinghe, Yang Zhen and others, and after being hit hard, he was powerless to fight again for a while. After the strong autumn wind went south, he didn't take the Yanagi clan to heart. Unexpectedly, in this remote town, there was a killer of the Yanagi clan who suddenly appeared.

Li Qiufeng originally wanted to take advantage of Situ Qiao's unpreparedness, snatch the burden on his shoulders and leave. It's just that the Fuso killer suddenly appeared, and he changed his mind. He knew that in the three great battles of the Imperial Tomb, Yong'an City, and Shajiabao, he had killed the killers of the Yanagi clan. Although these Fusang people are ruthless, cunning, and vicious, they are the most bullying and afraid of the hard. Since he has been frightened by his own killing, he easily does not dare to provoke himself. It was these seven killers who suddenly appeared, and nine times out of ten they were not aimed at themselves. Could it be that Situ Qiao provoked these killers, and they couldn't chase them here from the capital?

When Li Qiufeng was thinking about it, Xiao Er had already brought the noodles up. Li Qiufeng was really hungry, so after taking the noodles, he immediately ate them. At this time, the food ordered by Situ Qiao had also been served on the table, and he only cared about eating with his head down, and he didn't notice that Li Qiufeng was sitting behind him and staring at him.

After Situ Qiao finished eating, he put a few copper coins on the table, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and got up and walked outside the store. After Situ Qiao went out, Li Qiufeng put down the bowl, put four cents on the table, said something to Xiao Er, and walked outside the store.

When he walked behind Yu Fan and Yu Chenghe, he saw that most of the noodles in the bowl of the two had been eaten. Li Qiufeng knew that Yu Fan was alert, for fear that he would see through Xingzang, so he didn't dare to stay beside the two of them, and walked quickly to the door.

When he arrived on the avenue, he saw that Situ Bridge had walked dozens of steps away. Li Qiufeng followed quickly, but saw that the seven Tsing Yi people who had just walked in front of the tavern were still divided into three groups, standing not far from the tavern, staring at the door of the tavern. When Situ Qiao walked past these seven people, the people in Tsing Yi ignored Situ Qiao. Li Qiufeng thought to himself, it seems that these Tsing Yi people are not here for Situ Bridge, but for another purpose.

When he passed by the three groups of Tsing Yi people, the Tsing Yi people didn't even look at him, and only stared at the tavern door. Li Qiufeng was shocked in his heart, secretly thinking that these killers were staring at the tavern, could it be that they were not far away, and they couldn't track Yu Fan and Yu Chenghei here?

Li Qiufeng originally didn't care about Fan and Yu Chenghei, but he just met these two by chance. It's just that if the Yanagi clan is involved, things are definitely not as simple as he originally thought. He wanted to stay and see what was going on, but Situ Qiao was getting farther and farther, and he was no longer allowed to stay here. It was the strong autumn wind that gritted his teeth, no longer paid attention to these killers, and followed Situ Bridge to the north.

The two of them walked for half a pillar of incense one after the other, but they were almost at the north end of the town. There are more and more pedestrians on the street, and the sound of laughter is constant, as if they are going to a lively place. When Li Qiufeng was surprised to himself, a huge open space suddenly appeared in front of him. A tall stage was erected in the middle of the clearing, and hundreds of people had gathered under the stage. At this time, the people around the stage were full of voices, and it was very lively.

Li Qiufeng saw the crowd in front of him, and his heart was stunned, but he saw that Situ Qiao shook three times and walked into the crowd. He thought to himself that if Situ Qiao was mixed in with these hundreds of people, it would not be easy to find him again. It was he who quickened his pace, only three or four feet away from Situ Bridge, and followed closely behind him.

Li Qiufeng originally thought that when Situ Bridge arrived here, he would pass through the crowd and go north. Just go out of the town, find a place where no one is, knock Situ Qiao down with three punches and two kicks, snatch his burden and leave. Unexpectedly, after Situ Qiao walked into the crowd, he squeezed all the way to the stage, and actually stopped, looked up at the stage. Li Qiufeng had no choice, so he had to squeeze not far from Situ Bridge and stopped, thinking to himself, when did this bastard become interested in singing?

He turned his head to look around while thinking, and accidentally found that Yu Fan and Yu Chengsi were also under the stage and were whispering something. And the three people in Tsing Yi stood not far from the two of them, and they had already formed a circle. Although the other four Tsing Yi people did not show up, Li Qiufeng knew the habit of killing people according to the killers of the Liusheng clan, and these four people must be watching from the side, ready to support at any time.
