Chapter 487
Li Qiufeng saw that the sentry chief was kicked to the ground by Mr. Hu Qian, and he was at a loss at this time, thinking that the incident had happened in a hurry, and his head was already in chaos. He pretended to be panicked, panting heavily, and said: "Master Jun, we are from the capital, we are going to Willow Town, and when we pass outside the valley, a big white snake suddenly bursts out and wants to eat us. We have no choice but to run away desperately. Fortunately, I met this military master......"
When Li Qiufeng said this, he pointed his finger at Zhang Sentinel, who was about to get up from the ground, and then said: "This military master sacrificed his life to block the big white snake, so we were able to escape into the valley without being eaten by the big white snake." β
Hu Qian always looked at Li Qiufeng, as if judging whether he was lying. At this time, Zhang Whistle had already gotten up from the ground in a daze, and stood aside looking at Mr. Hu Qian, his body still trembling. Mr. Hu Qian glared at him fiercely, and said, "Lao Zhang, is what this kid said true?"
When the sentry saw the serpent outside the valley, he was already half frightened. I was so tired from running all the way that I was scolded by Mr. Hu Qian, and I was kicked to the ground by him, and my mind was in chaos. At this time, he got up from the ground in a daze, and his mind was a little bright, although he heard Li Qiufeng tell about the process of escaping into the valley, he couldn't remember how he met Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan for a while, and saw Hu Qian always staring at him viciously with his eyes, so he had to nod in a panic.
Mr. Hu Qian snorted and said to Zhang Whistle: "You are also the fucking old man of our battalion, and you are so embarrassed that you were seen by Lao Cai and their camp, wouldn't it break Lao Tzu's face? β
When he said this, he glared at the sentry chief, and then said, "Where are all your sentry brothers?"
Zhang Whistle said in a trembling voice: "Everyone saw the big snake rushing over, and they were so frightened that they scattered and fled, and they all hid outside the valley mouth when they wanted to......"
Hu Qianzong's face changed, and he said viciously: "You turtle grandson, don't you know that Lord Lin's Chinese army tent has been moved to five miles outside the valley? If his patrol post finds that the valley mouth is unguarded, with Lord Lin's strict rule of the army, he must kill a few people to establish his authority! You hurry back to the outside of the valley, restrain the men and horses of this sentry, and give the valley mouth to Lao Tzu to firmly guard. If something goes wrong, I'll cut you first!"
When Zhang Whistle heard that Mr. Hu Qian wanted him out of the valley, he was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he said in a trembling voice: "Mr. Qian, that snake, that snake is going to chase him in now, now." If the villain goes out, he must be eaten by it......"
Before he finished speaking, Hu Qianzong looked angry, kicked Zhang Whistle again, pointed at his nose and scolded.
Murong Danyan couldn't help frowning when he heard him scolding dirty, and turned his head aside to ignore him. At this time, the place where everyone stood was only a few dozen feet away from the entrance of the cave. I saw that there were about 1,000 officers and soldiers in the east and west groups in the valley, and most of them were sitting on the ground resting at this time. Only at the entrance of the cave were more than 100 officers and soldiers with knives, guns, bows and arrows, and they were very tightly guarded. Li Qiufeng had also peeked at the situation in the valley very carefully, and heard that Hu Qian said that the general of the Chinese army had moved out of the valley. He knew that the valley was extremely narrow and could not accommodate more than 10,000 officers and soldiers, so the main force of officers and soldiers had withdrawn from the valley and set up camp outside the valley, leaving only more than 1,000 officers and soldiers in the valley to monitor the movements of the heroes in the cave. He thought to himself: "If there were only these more than 1,000 officers and soldiers, it would be much easier to escape into the cave. It's just that the officers and soldiers must not be allowed to see the mechanism that opened the thousand-pound boulder that closed the entrance of the cave. If the organ is leaked, and the officers and soldiers gather in large numbers and rush into the cave, the group of heroes will be in danger. β
Just as he was thinking about it, Mr. Hu Qian had already punched and kicked, beating the whistle chief to the point that his nose was blue and his face was swollen. It's just that Zhang Sentinel has been frightened by the giant snake, and refuses to leave the valley. In the end, Mr. Hu Qian pulled out the waist knife, put it on the neck of Zhang Sentinel, and said viciously: "Believe it or not, Lao Tzu cut off your head with a knife......"
Before he could finish speaking, a strange rustle suddenly came from inside the corridor.
Li Qiufeng, Murong Danyan, and Zhang Whistle Chang's faces changed greatly, and they all looked towards the exit of Yongdao. Hu Qian always saw that Zhang Whistle's face changed greatly, and the waist knife in his hand was still across Zhang Whistle's neck, and said fiercely: "Did you lose the valley mouth, and now the enemy has attacked?"
Zhang Whistle said in a trembling voice: "Lord Qian, that snake, that snake is about to rush in......"
Li Qiufeng also said to Mr. Hu Qian next to him: "Master Jun, there is really a big snake in the road, if it rushes in, we will be in danger." β
Before his words fell, Hu Qian sneered and said to Li Qiufeng: "You kid really think that Lao Tzu is easy to bluff, don't you? If you are an ordinary person, how can you carry a knife on your body?" The law of the Ming Dynasty clearly states that civilians are armed with sharp blades and are regarded as fighting. What the hell do you do?"
Li Qiufeng said with a smiling face: "Master Jun, Xiaomin runs errands in the capital, and he knows a little bit about this Ming law. The Da Ming Law reads: 'All civil private people such as vests, pong cards, torches, artillery, flags, and belts should be forbidden weapons, one rod is eighty, and each one is added to one grade, and the private maker is added to the private crime of one degree, and each crime is subject to one hundred rods, and the flow is three thousand miles. What we are talking about here is the armor and firearms of the great army, not the self-defense weapons of ordinary people and merchants. A paragraph was added after it, which read: 'His bows, arrows, spears, knives, crossbows, harpoons, and forks are not prohibited.' Master Jun, we went to Willow Town to collect debts, and we carried swords with us, but for self-defense, it did not violate the laws of the Ming Dynasty. β
Li Qiufeng is on an errand in Jinyiwei, and he has to inspect the laws of the Ming Dynasty twice a year in spring and autumn, and the laws of the Ming Dynasty are the top priority, and he is also very familiar with them. That Hu Qian is an old man who can't read a basket of big characters, and he just listens to his comrades in the army blowing nonsense on weekdays, and by the way, he memorizes a few sentences to fill the faΓ§ade with the false Da Ming law. At this time, he was dismissed by Li Qiufeng, how could he bear this breath? He immediately looked angry, and said: "Lao Tzu looks at you two boys like spies in the green forest! Someone, take these two boys down to Lao Tzu......
Mr. Hu Qian's voice did not fall, but he heard a strange sound of "bang, bang, bang" coming from the corridor. Zhang Shou shrank his neck, turned around and fled into the valley. Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan's faces changed greatly, but they also fled towards the valley. However, both of them were in general mind, and they deviated towards the door of the cave intentionally or unintentionally.
Seeing that the three of them turned around and fled without his permission, Hu Qian was furious, and was about to order the soldiers to capture the three people, but he saw the white shadow flashing in the corridor, and then a huge white snake rushed out of the corridor. I saw that the white snake's body was scraped by the mountain rocks and was drenched in blood, a pair of blood-red snake eyes were full of evil, and the huge snake head hit hard, and with a loud "bang", several rocks on both sides of the exit of the tunnel were smashed into pieces. Immediately, the snake's head stretched out from the corridor, opened its mouth, and immediately swallowed a soldier standing on the left side of the exit of the corridor.
When the officers and men saw such a terrible scene, they shouted and fled in all directions. Hu Qianzong was stunned with fright, and the two henchmen and sergeants were stunned when they saw Shangguan, and they didn't care about their identity and dignity, so they grabbed Hu Qianzong's arms left and right, dragged him and fled to the depths of the valley.
At this time, the whole body of the giant snake had come out of the corridor, and in the blink of an eye, it swallowed three more soldiers, and then the snake's tail swept away, and several soldiers were beaten to death with their brains bursting and their tendons broken. Although these more than 1,000 officers and men all had blades in their hands, they were already frightened when they saw such a huge giant snake, so how could they still have the courage to resist? Not to mention that Hu Qian had already fled, and these officers and men under his command had no fighting spirit. I saw swords, guns, bows and arrows thrown everywhere, and the officers and soldiers fled to the depths of the valley in a swarm.
The more than 100 officers and soldiers guarding in front of the cave saw that the commander and his companions had fled, and the giant snake was chasing several lone officers and soldiers. Where are these officers and soldiers willing to stay here and wait for death, they turn around and flee with them. After a while, there was no one in the cave except for Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan.
Li Qiufeng pulled out the embroidered spring knife in his right hand, and saw that the officers and soldiers had already fled far away, and the remaining two officers and soldiers had fled to the opposite side at this time, and they were chased by the white snake later, so they naturally did not pay attention to the situation on this side of the cave. So he said to Murong Danyan: "Miss Murong, go and open the door of the cave!"
Murong Danyan saw that although the officers and soldiers had fled, the remaining two officers and soldiers were afraid that they would be swallowed by the white snake in the blink of an eye. Despite this, she was unwilling to leave Li Qiufeng and run away alone, so she shook her head and said, "No, let's go together!"
Li Qiufeng hurriedly said: "You open the stone door first, so that when I retreat, we can enter the cave smoothly." Otherwise, it will be too late to open the stone gate if they are dragged here. β
Murong Danyan agreed, turned around and ran towards the entrance of the cave. At this moment, the two officers and soldiers who escaped had been forced by the white snake to the opposite stone wall, and when they were about to run away left and right, the white snake had already caught up, first swallowing one officer and soldier in one bite, and then rolling over and rolling up the other officer and soldier. The white snake was so huge, the snake body was covered with hard scales, and when the snake body rolled, the officers and soldiers did not know how many bones were broken, and blood spurted wildly from their mouths, and they couldn't see that they were alive.
The white snake shook his body and threw the body of the officer and soldier out. Then the head of the snake suddenly turned back, and a pair of evil snake eyes stared straight at Li Qiufeng.
At this time, Murong Danyan happened to turn the mechanism, and the thousand-pound boulder rumbled up. Murong Danyan saw that Mrs. Sha and the others were standing inside the stone gate with torches, and looked anxiously at the outside. When she saw Murong Danyan, Mrs. Sha smiled slightly, and said, "Sister Murong, you are finally back!"
At this moment, I heard a loud noise. Murong Danyan turned his head to look, but saw that the white snake had already rolled and turned around, and pounced straight towards Li Qiufeng. I saw a huge snake's head in the air, and the snake's mouth was completely open, like a huge black hole, heading straight for Li Qiufeng's head. Murong Danyan was shocked, and couldn't help but shout: "Brother Li, be careful!"
