Li Qiufeng was silent, and Liu Kang continued: "Your master is alone, and he is home all over the world, and it is not easy to find him. It's just that hundreds of people from the Liu clan live in Shanyang, even if they want to leave, where can they escape?"

Li Qiufeng said: "You emperors will compete for the world, but you have killed countless people. In just these few days, there were four or five hundred martial arts heroes who died in the imperial tomb. These four or five hundred lives are just pawns for you to play. How many more people do you have to kill in order to fight for power and profit?"

Liu Kang said in a deep voice: "I'm a chess piece, why aren't you?"

Li Qiufeng said: "I don't want to be your pawn, I escaped with Qunhao, but I didn't expect to be intercepted by you here." Speaking of this, he looked up at Feng Zongbing and the others dozens of zhang away, and said to Liu Kang: "Lord Liu, you have already committed a capital crime by letting Feng Zongbing lead the border army into the mainland without permission. Even if you stop Sang Liangtian, at most the merit will be offset by the demerits, and there will be no reward or punishment. If there is a slight mistake, it is a great crime to rob the family and exterminate the clan. What's more, he is an emperor who picks bones in eggs. The ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China are all just trying to protect themselves, so why are you running around?"

Liu Kang shook his head and said: "You people in the rivers and lakes often say, 'People in the rivers and lakes can't help themselves', why is this not the case in the court? Although the old man has returned to his hometown, his protégés and former officials are all over the court. Over the years, how many old man's protégés have they framed, and all of them want to connect with the old man. If it weren't for the old man's hard work, he would have capsized the boat long ago. Now it's a matter of life and death, and the eyes of the fans behind the scenes have come to the front of the stage, if I still sit on the shore and watch the fire, I will end up under the nest, and there will be no eggs. ”

Li Qiufeng said: "Lord Liu, you haven't been idle all these years. Not to mention, through the dispute over the Great Rites, the Yang party was driven out of the imperial court. The Xuanfu border army mutinied, beheaded Li Huawen and other fourteen generals, and took this opportunity to purge the military department, so that the Yang party lost its military power, this is all your old man's plan?"

Liu Kang said: "Not bad. It's just that they failed to uproot this gang of thieves, and it eventually became a big problem. At present, they have contacted Dongchang and Jinyiwei, vainly hoping to make a comeback and change the dynasty, if they succeed, it will be the world's vegetarian, blood will flow like a river, and the Ming Dynasty will definitely fall in the hands of these people. ”

Li Qiufeng sneered: "Lord Liu, isn't it too funny to talk about the Ming Dynasty at this time?"

Liu Kang said: "Young man, you are wrong. Do you think that the old man's plans are all just for himself? I don't know if the Ming Dynasty is gone, what is the use of the old man's life and those family fortunes?"

Li Qiufeng said: "I don't care about these things for you. I just want to give a word of advice to Lord Liu. Everyone is raised by their parents, and it is not easy to live in this world. Isn't it the most cruel thing in the world to harm the lives of others for one's own selfish interests? ”

Liu Kang said: "No. If it is to save the people of the world, what does it matter if hundreds of lives are taken in this temple?"

Li Qiufeng's face changed, and he said, "Lord Liu, you are also a person who reads the books of sages, did Confucius teach you to do this?"

Liu Kang said: "The son said on the river, the deceased is like Sifu." The situation forced him to resurrect Confucius, and when this is critical, I am afraid that what he does is no different from that of the old man. ”

Li Qiufeng said: "The Tao is different, and they don't conspire with each other. Lord Liu knows for himself. ”

Liu Kang smiled slightly, and said: "Nine times out of ten, the heroes of the rivers and lakes have arrived, even if you sit on the sidelines, the old man's plan has been accomplished, and the victory is irreversible, don't you want to stay and take a look?"

Li Qiufeng's heart was shocked, and he said: "Lord Liu, although these men in the rivers and lakes have their own greed, but their crimes do not lead to death, why do you want to trap them to death?"

Liu Kang said: "The arrow is on the string, and I have to send it." Although the power of Dongchang and Jinyiwei is not the same as that of the first emperor, they still have great power. If the old man hadn't been thinking hard, he wouldn't have thought of the strategy of mobilizing the border army. These heroes are strong in martial arts, but they have no brains, and with a little training, they are the most powerful army, which is just right for me. ”

Li Qiufeng said: "What if I stop you?"

Liu Kang said with a smile: "This place has been surrounded by the army of the Shanhaiguan General Army, how can you stop it?"

Li Qiufeng smiled slightly and said, "Lord Liu, you are my senior, so it stands to reason that you should leave some face." It's just that Li might as well say it bluntly, I don't know what method you used to let General Feng deceive the eunuchs of the Shanhaiguan and rush here with the border army. It's just that even if General Feng is bold, he doesn't dare to bring out all the elite soldiers under the command of Shanhaiguan General Soldier. And to the left of the capital, there are all the eyes and ears of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, as well as the garrisons of Tongzhou and Changping. If the soldiers and horses of Shanhaiguan had entered in large numbers, these armies would have been engaged in war with them a long time ago. It is the vanguard led by General Feng, with no more than 1,000 people. Of these 1,000 people, hundreds of people had to be assigned to transport grain and baggage. If Li's guess is right, the elite soldiers at Shanhaiguan here are no more than 500 people. Fang Cai's general soldier Feng ordered to shoot and wound those Jianghu men who wanted to leave first, but it was just a bluff, which made the group think that the officers and soldiers were outnumbered, and they were afraid. If Lord Liu really wants to threaten the six or seven hundred martial arts masters in this temple with five hundred soldiers, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult than ascending to the sky. ”

Liu Kang looked at Li Qiufeng and sighed: "You are very good, you are worthy of being the apprentice he taught." I asked him to come out to help me, but he always refused. If our brothers join forces, how can there be a place for those thieves in this court?"

Li Qiufeng said: "Even my own brother won't help you, Lord Liu, do you still think what you did was right?"

Liu Kang said: "I will let you and him know that you are wrong." ”

Speaking of this, Liu Kang turned his head to Feng Zongbing and said, "Yanqing, the old man will go to the temple to meet these friends in the rivers and lakes." If the old man can't come out, anyone who leaves this temple gate will be killed!"

Feng Zongbing and others said yes. Li Qiufeng said: "Isn't Lord Liu still giving up?"

Liu Kang said: "Everything has to be tried to know how to win or lose." In his year, Zhuge Wuhou crossed the river in white clothes and went to Jiangdong to persuade Sun Quan and Zhou Yu to join forces to resist Cao, but it is unknown what the result was. Although you have seen the old man's plan, do you know if the old man has the back hand to win?"

At this time, the two young servants in Tsing Yi walked quickly to Liu Kang's side, and they were about to walk towards the temple gate with Liu Kang in their arms. Li Qiufeng was about to say more, but Liu Kang glanced at him and said, "Do you want to stop me?"

Li Qiufeng said: "Li doesn't dare." ”

Liu Kang raised his head and said: "If you don't want the old man to enter the temple, you might as well kill the old man with a knife." After finishing speaking, Liu Kang walked towards the temple gate, and didn't even look at Li Qiufeng again.

Li Qiufeng was helpless, and his heart was in turmoil, so he had to follow him to the temple gate.

Murong Danyan saw that Li Qiufeng hadn't returned for a long time, and his heart was anxious, and he couldn't stop asking Liu Yong, "Will Brother Li be okay?"

Liu Yong also smiled at the beginning: "Li Shaoxia is good at martial arts, there are only not many people in the world who can beat him, and the girl doesn't have to worry." It's just that the more Murong Danyan got later, the more anxious he became, and even Liu Yong became uneasy. Seeing that Li Qiufeng had been gone for a long time and had not returned, Qunhao became more and more restless, and many people whispered and secretly discussed ways to get out.

At this moment, I heard a "squeak", and the temple door had opened by itself. A young man in Tsing Yi walked in first, followed by an old man with a white beard.

When Liu Yong saw this person, his heart sank, and he hurriedly stepped forward. At this time, the leaders of Kunlun, Qingcheng, Taishan, Songshan and other factions have greeted each other.

I saw more than a dozen famous people bowing to the old man, and said, "Welcome Lord Liu!"

This old man is none other than Liu Kang. I saw him smile slightly and said, "The old man is no longer an adult, so you don't have to be polite." ”

Chu Danyang, the head of the Kunlun faction, said: "In the past, thanks to Lord Liu's care, my Kunlun faction would not be overturned, and this kindness will never be forgotten by the Kunlun faction." ”

The heads of the other factions also talked about Liu Kang's great kindness in the past. Li Qiufeng stood aside, thinking to himself: "Jiang is still old and spicy, I didn't expect Liu Kang to leave this hand a long time ago, and the leaders of various sects are all under his control, no wonder he came to see Qunhao so fearlessly." ”

Murong Danyan quietly walked to Li Qiufeng's side, saw him stunned, and said in a low voice, "Brother Li, are you okay?"

Li Qiufeng shook his head, still looking at Liu Kang, and there was a look of fear in his eyes. Murong Danyan followed his gaze, and saw that Liu Kang's hair was white, wearing a gauze crown, and wearing a gray robe, just like a rich man in the countryside, and there was nothing terrible, so he turned his head to Li Qiufeng and said, "Who is this bad old man?"

Li Qiufeng smiled bitterly: "He is always old, but he is not bad at all, he only has things to do today, I am afraid that he will not be good." ”
