That person was Liu Yong, the star-picking swordsman of the Huashan faction. It's just that he has changed into a coarse cloth shirt on his upper body, a pair of old cotton pants full of patches on his lower body, a felt hat on his head, and his face is stained with dust, and he looks no different from an ordinary peasant man.

Liu Yong and Li Qiufeng met suddenly, their expressions changed, and they seemed to be about to speak. Li Qiufeng knew that since Old Lady Nie had lived in the City God Temple, there must have been eyeliner all around at this time. It was he who hurriedly gestured with his eyes and walked quickly past Liu Yong. Liu Yong naturally understood, and passed by Li Qiufeng, only pretending not to know him. The two went in and out, but did not speak.

The strong autumn wind passed through the open space in front of the City God Temple and walked slowly into a street. He walked dozens of steps, and saw a vendor on the street setting up a stall to sell goods, so he walked over, picked up a wine gourd from the stall, and bargained with the vendor. It's just that out of the corner of his eye, he has glanced at the road he came from several times. But I saw a lot of pedestrians on the road, and there were no suspicious people. Li Qiufeng breathed a sigh of relief and was about to turn around and leave, but the vendor was unwilling to lose the deal, and gave the price to ten wen. Li Qiufeng had no choice but to pay for the wine gourd. When he turned around and continued to move forward, he looked behind him with the corner of his eye, but saw Liu Yong coming from afar.

Li Qiufeng carried the gourd and slowly walked west. After about half a mile of walking, he turned into an alley on the left, and when he passed through the alley, it was a north-south street. There are people coming and going in front of me, and it is very lively. Li Qiufeng followed the flow of people to the south, until he walked out of the Nancheng gate, and walked more than a mile, and there was no one around, so he stopped.

Li Qiufeng turned around, but saw that Liu Yong had already followed. There was no one in Siye, Li Qiufeng stepped forward and said, "Mr. Liu, why did you come back early?"

Liu Yong said: "After we left Xiuwu County, there were indeed people following us. Let's just do not know and move on. Liu, Chu Zhangmen, and Xu Zhangmen had privately informed more than a dozen trusted gang leaders and leaders, and after arriving at Yinmachuan, everyone pretended to break up and say goodbye, and went back to their own factions. Liu was worried that Brother Li would not be able to support himself in Xiuwu County, so he discussed with Chu and Xu, and returned to Xiuwu County first. The disciples of the Huashan faction were led by the two heads of Chu and Xu, and continued to pretend to turn back to Huashan. Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived at the City God Temple, I met Brother Li. ”

Li Qiufeng told the situation after Liu Yong and the others left. When Liu Yong heard that the leaders of the four families of Nie, Lu, Zhao, and Du had already lived in the City God Temple, he was shocked and said, "In this way, the day when the Japanese will do it is not far off. However, Liu has something that he doesn't know, and he is so incomprehensible. ”

He looked at Li Qiufeng as he spoke. Li Qiufeng said: "Mr. Liu has something to say. ”

Liu Yong said: "According to what we know now, the five families of Nie, Lu, Zhao, Du, and Hua in Fengmen Village fled from Shu to Henan with the Xu family and lived in seclusion in Fengmen Village. Later, the five families and the Xu family had a dirty quarrel, and the two sides fought fiercely, and the Xu family was defeated and almost wiped out. The children of the Xu family who escaped vowed to avenge this blood and hatred, and have been fighting against the five families for hundreds of years. Later, the Hua family was destroyed, leaving the Nie, Lu, Zhao, and Du families to continue to hunt down the Xu family. A few months ago, the Nie family made a plan to use the power of the Japanese to eliminate the Xu family in Haizhou. The Nie family colluded with the Japanese Kou, not only to destroy the Xu family, but also to get rid of the Lu, Zhao, and Du families, so as to monopolize the treasures of Fengmen Village, and to get rid of future troubles, so that the children of the Nie family could go out of the mountains to become officials and make a fortune in a grand manner. With the wisdom of Old Lady Nie and Ji Dingzhong, if you want to kill two birds with one stone, first use the Japanese to eradicate the Lu, Zhao, and Du families, and then eliminate the Japanese invaders, the best place to start is naturally Fengmen Village, why choose the battlefield in Xiuwu County?"

Li Qiufeng said: "Don't hide it from Mr. Liu, the younger generation has also thought about it. According to the speculation of the younger generations, the five families of Nie, Lu, Zhao, Du, and Hua have been operating in Fengmen Village for nearly a thousand years, and have built this village into a solid foundation. If it is used as an ambush for the Japanese invaders, it is naturally the best. However, Old Lady Nie is cunning and scheming, seeking stability and perfection in her work, and refuses to take risks easily. That Fengmen Village is the foundation of the Nie family, even if there is a thousandth risk, Old Lady Nie does not dare to take risks easily. If you lure the Japanese into the Fengmen Village, once you can't eliminate all of them, or if the Japanese deliberately send people into the Fengmen Village, and then attack the Japanese outside the village, the Fengmen Village will be in danger. It was the Nie family that chose the battlefield in Xiuwu County, so that even if it missed, it would not endanger Fengmen Village, and the Nie family still had a way out. ”

When Li Qiufeng said this, he paused slightly, and then said: "Li thought that Old Lady Nie had such a plan, and he had other plans. He knew that the Japanese were extremely difficult to deal with, and after using the Japanese to get rid of the Lu, Zhao, and Du families, even the Japanese would suffer heavy casualties, but if they wanted to eliminate all the Japanese invaders, the Nie family alone would not be able to do it. And the three thousand iron horsemen under Hu Kun are the strength that the Nie family must rely on. These 3,000 iron cavalry can only be powerful on flat land, if the cavalry is stationed on the mountains inside and outside Fengmen Village, first, it is difficult to exert the power of cavalry, and second, these 3,000 iron cavalry are all officers and soldiers, and the secrets of Fengmen Village will inevitably be known by the government, which is not good for the Nie family. The third is that the Nie family wants to use the Japanese to get rid of the three families of Lu, Zhao, and Du, if they attack the three families in Fengmen Village, many of these three families know the terrain in Fengmen Village well, and it is very easy for them to escape, and they will inevitably become another Xu family. According to the practice of the four families of Nie, Lu, Zhao and Du, every year during the Lantern Festival, the leaders of the four families will gather in the City God Temple, which is the best time to get rid of the heads of the three families in one fell swoop. Because of this, Old Lady Nie and Ji Dingzhong chose the battlefield in the City God Temple, instead of Fengmen Village. ”

After Liu Yong heard Li Qiufeng finish speaking, he was thoughtful and didn't speak for a while. After a while, he nodded and said, "Brother Li is very right. However, in this case, on the day of the Lantern Festival, the City God's Temple must be the main target of the Japanese attack, and the Nie family has set a plan to kill two birds with one stone, and in the end, it will inevitably kill people and destroy their mouths. The Li brothers live in the City God Temple, and they have to deal with the two major forces of the Nie family and the Japanese Kou, but they are afraid that it will be quite dangerous. It's better to move out early, so as not to suffer the poisonous hands of the Japanese and the Nie family. ”

Li Qiufeng shook his head and said, "Old lady Nie has already guessed the identity of the junior, he wants to use the power of Jinyiwei to deal with the Japanese Invaders, so he will definitely not deal with the younger generations before he destroys the Waikos." As for the Japanese Invaders, we have been struggling to find no trace of them. Now it is already known that Yu Fan and Yu Chenghei are undercover agents of the Japanese Invaders, and the younger generations stay in the City God Temple, and the Japanese Kou will definitely think of getting rid of the younger generations. In this way, we will have the opportunity to find out where the Japanese brigade is hiding. The juniors have dealt with Yanagi Zongyan many times, and they are quite familiar with this person's methods, so Mr. Liu does not have to worry about the juniors. ”

Liu Yong wanted to say more, but seeing that Li Qiufeng had made up his mind, he had to swallow back the words that came to his mouth.

Li Qiufeng continued: "The day after tomorrow is the day after tomorrow, but I don't know if the Japanese will choose to attack during the day or at night." According to the guesses of the younger generations, on the day of the Lantern Festival, Xiuwu County was more lively at night than during the day, and it was also the time when the guards of the four cities and the defense of the yamen were the most lax. It is highly likely that the Japanese will attack at night. In this way, there will be great chaos in the city, and I am afraid that the people will suffer great casualties. The younger generation plans to find out where they are assembled in advance before the Japanese invaders move, and then unite the four families of Fengmen Village, the government and the martial arts sects to attack the Japanese invaders by surprise. In this way, the pirates can be wiped out without endangering the people. Even if they can't defeat the Japanese first, the younger generation will also have the government to warn them, and if the lantern festival does not fall dark, the four gates must be closed, and the city will have an early curfew, and the people will not be allowed to go to the streets. Even if the Japanese raided the temple of the city god, the people would not be harmed. ”

Liu Yong listened to Li Qiufeng say his plan, nodded, and said: "It turns out that Brother Li has already made up his mind, and this plan is indeed a good strategy to avoid casualties among the people." However, listening to what Brother Li said, the biggest official in Xiuwu County is now Liang Huan, the envoy. This person is a faint official, can he listen to Brother Li's words and help us fight the Japanese invaders?"

Li Qiufeng remembered Liang Huan's style, shook his head, and said, "This junior can't be sure." When the junior arrives, he plans to use the identity of Jinyiwei to force him to give orders to deal with the Japanese invaders. ”

When he said this, he paused slightly, and then said: "If the Jinyi Guard led by Xu Yingyang can intervene, it will be the best. It's just that I didn't expect Zhang Hao to be an undercover agent of the widows, which made the younger generation cut off contact with Xu Yingyang, and it was a pity to miscalculate. ”
