Li Qiufeng thought secretly in his heart: "The soldiers and horses of Xuanfu and Datong have arrived in the west of Yong'an City, more than 50 miles away from Yong'an City, so they immediately set up a large camp, with only 3,000 soldiers and horses as the vanguard, and arrived at Yong'an City. Thinking that the commander of the army would arrange such a formation, in addition to monitoring the troops and horses stationed outside Yong'an City and the Shanhaiguan in Nanshan, he was also watching the situation in the DPRK and China, and then making plans for the next step. Before the imperial court issued the Qinwang order to the governors of various places, the only troops that could be mobilized and carried out field battles around the capital were the soldiers and horses of Xuan and Da towns. As for the three battalions guarding the capital, they will not leave the capital unless the emperor personally drives the expedition. However, Mrs. Sha said that there were 20,000 or 30,000 officers and soldiers surrounding Qunhao under the Hutou Rock, thinking that Mrs. Sha and Miss Murong and others had never seen such a formation when they first met the imperial army, and they might have misestimated the number of officers and soldiers in panic. ”

Seeing that Li Qiufeng was silent, Mrs. Sha continued: "Li Gongzi, now let's retreat into this cave, and the enemy outside the cave will not be able to attack for a while. It's just that being trapped here is not a good way to do it after all. Li Gongzi is a big expert in the rivers and lakes, fortunately we met him, and I just invited Li Gongzi to preside over the plan!"

When she said this, she inadvertently saw Xiao Zhanpeng standing beside Li Qiufeng again, and hurriedly said: "Xiao Gongzi is also a young hero, and the two of you are here, because God favors us." Please also ask the two of you to come up with an idea to help us get out of this difficulty. ”

Li Qiufeng said: "Madam, it's a shame to say that Li rarely walks in the rivers and lakes, his knowledge is shallow, and his experience is even less than a show, how can he talk about what kind of experts in the rivers and lakes?!"

Murong Danyan said anxiously on the side: "Brother Li, it's come to such a juncture, you don't have to be humble." ”

Li Qiufeng said: "Miss Murong, Mrs. Sha, Li is indeed not humble. However, since Mrs. Sha said that the enemy could not attack for a while, this cave is the safest place at the moment. Li was worried about those friends in the rivers and lakes who were surrounded by officers and soldiers, although they were strong in martial arts, but in the face of the field army sent by the imperial court, they were afraid that if they were not careful, they would encounter great difficulties. ”

Murong Danyan pursed his lips and said with a disdainful expression: "Brother Li, those officers and soldiers are very pustuated, and dozens of people chased after us, but they were beaten by us. If it weren't for the sudden appearance of those black-clothed warriors, maybe we would have rescued Mr. Liu and them. ”

Li Qiufeng shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Miss Murong doesn't know anything, if you talk about the martial arts of officers and soldiers, it is naturally not worth mentioning. It's just that if the officers and soldiers form a formation, attack together, respond to each other, and thousands of people rush over, no matter how high your martial arts are, it will be difficult to protect yourself. ”

Murong Danyan said: "Brother Li, didn't you face thousands of soldiers and horses alone in Yong'an City, and finally retreated?"

Li Qiufeng smiled bitterly and said, "That's just a last resort." It was a fluke that Li was able to escape back to the city. What's more, at that time, the enemy army was caught off guard and had not yet woken up. If the army had been in formation, I was afraid that Li would have died in the military formation. ”

Murong Danyan saw that Li Qiufeng repeatedly said that the officers and soldiers were powerful, although he didn't think so, he just thought: "Brother Li is a hero, so naturally he won't take these pustuated officers and soldiers in his eyes." He was so humble that I didn't have to argue with him. She opened her mouth, but did not speak again.

At this moment, a servant woman walked over quickly and whispered to Hou Zhen: "The meal is ready, do you want to invite Mrs. and all the distinguished guests to eat?"

The servant woman's voice was not high, but all the people heard it. Since Li Qiufeng and Xiao Zhanpeng arrived at the foot of Hutou Rock, they have been busy not to mention, and they have fought fiercely with Yu Qingzi and Monk Guangzhi, except for the two cups of tea they have just drunk, they are already hungry. It was Mrs. Sha, Murong Danyan and others, after they turned their faces with Sha Yilu in the old mansion of Shajiabao, when they escaped from the secret passage, Hou Zhen thought carefully and brought some dry food. After that, although there were many adventures, I had a meal. It's just that after leaving the cave, they met the officers and soldiers again, and the Fusang killers suddenly attacked and forced everyone back into the valley. By this time, he was tired and hungry. When the servant woman said that the meal was ready, all the people were full of tongues and their index fingers were moving.

Hou Zhen naturally knew everyone's intentions, and nodded to the servant. The servant woman walked away quickly, and a moment later several servants had come out of the north side of the cave with their food plates. There were rice and white steamed buns on the plate, as well as a few plates of black things, but I didn't know what they were. Although several servant women were still more than ten feet away from everyone, the fragrance had already wafted over.

The servant woman distributed the food to everyone, each with a bowl of rice, two steamed buns, and the black thing was actually marinated bacon, and each person also divided a few pieces. When everyone saw the food, they were all in good spirits, and they didn't care about any etiquette, so they picked up the bowl and ate it in a big gulp.

Sha Zhongyu didn't eat like everyone else, but picked up a piece of bacon with chopsticks, turned around and handed it to the tiger Ah Er who was lying on the side. Na Ah Er shook his head, after seeing the bacon, he was not in a hurry, he sniffed it first, and then stretched out his huge head, his tongue stretched out from his mouth, and he rolled it gently, and he had already put the bacon into his mouth. It's just that compared with Ah Er's big mouth, this piece of bacon is too small, and I'm afraid it's not enough to stuff it between its teeth. I saw Ah Er's mouth move a few times, then stopped, and a pair of eyes looked at Sha Zhongyu's food plate again.

Sha Zhongyu naturally knew that Ah Er was not full, and was about to pick up another piece of bacon and hand it over. A servant woman had already walked over with half a fan of bacon. As he walked, he said to Sha Zhongyu: "Little master, we have prepared food for Ah Er, you don't have to worry about it." ”

Sha Zhongyu's young man's heart, when he saw the half of the bacon in the servant's hand, his eyes lit up, he put the food plate in his hand on a stone bench in front of him, stepped forward quickly, and said to the servant: "Aunt Zhao, you eat first, I'll feed it." ”

The servant woman hesitated, then involuntarily turned her head to look at Mrs. Sha. Mrs. Sha held a bowl of rice in her hand, smiled and nodded at the servant woman, and the servant woman handed the bacon in her hand to Sha Zhongyu. Sha Zhongyu took the bacon with his left hand, and pulled out the long sword with a "choking" sound in his right hand, only to see the sword light flashing, and the bacon he was holding in his right hand had been divided into four pieces. It turned out that in an instant, Sha Zhongyu had already made three swords in a row and cut the bacon into four pieces.

Xiao Zhanpeng and Murong Danyan are both good at swordsmanship, although Li Qiufeng does not use a sword, he is also quite knowledgeable about swordsmanship. Mrs. Sha was overjoyed when she saw the three of them praising Sha Zhongyu, but she still said humbly: "Children are messing around, don't laugh at them." ”

I saw that after Sha Zhongyu made three swords in a row, three pieces of bacon fell to the ground. Sha Zhongyu heard the applause of everyone, and his competitiveness was even stronger, his right hand shook, the sword light was like electricity, and he only heard the sound of "poof", and the three pieces of bacon had been strung on the sword by him.

This move was more difficult than just now, when he made three swords in a row. You must know that the three pieces of bacon are falling from the sky to the ground, and there is no place to borrow when they are suspended in the air. When the long sword stabs at the bacon, if the force is not accurate, it will only knock the bacon away, and it will not be able to pierce it. The sword of Sha Zhongyu is stable, accurate, and ruthless, not only is it good at swordsmanship, but its internal strength is not weak.

Sha Zhongyu skewered three pieces of bacon on the sword, turned around, and first threw the piece of bacon with his left hand towards Ah Er. When Ah Er first saw the bacon brought by the servant, he knew that it was food for himself, so he kept sticking his head out, staring at the bacon with his eyes, and he didn't blink. At this time, seeing Sha Zhongyu throw over a piece of bacon, a pair of eyes have never moved around since the piece of bacon broke away from Sha Zhongyu's hand, and his eyes have always moved with the piece of bacon. Until the bacon reached its mouth, I saw its big mouth open, and its blood-red tongue curled, and then swallowed the bacon into its mouth, and then chewed it.

Everyone looked at the appearance of this Ah Er, and they all felt funny in their hearts. Sha Zhongyu saw that the piece of bacon was eaten by Ah Er in a blink of an eye, so he shook the long sword in his hand, and with a "snap", a piece of bacon strung on the sword flew straight towards Ah Er. Ah Er opened his mouth and swallowed the piece of bacon.

Li Qiufeng and the others saw Sha Zhongyu's wrist exerting his strength, and shook a piece of bacon strung on the long sword and flew out, and flew towards Ah Er impartially. Sha Zhongyu became more and more proud, drew a gourd in the same way, and threw the remaining two pieces of bacon to Ah Er.

After everyone finished eating, several servant women walked forward quickly, put away the dishes, chopsticks and food plates, and served tea to several people.

Li Qiufeng drank a cup of tea, and then said to Mrs. Sha: "Madam, Li has something to understand and wants to ask Madame for advice." ”

Mrs. Sha said: "If Li Gongzi has something to say, just say it." ”

Li Qiufeng said: "According to Madame, there is a secret passage in the old mansion of Shajiabao, which was told to you by the owner of Shajiabao before he died. But you have never entered this secret passage before, but this time the matter is urgent, so you took Miss Murong and others into the secret passage, so you naturally have not been to this cave where we are. It's just that I don't understand why there is food stored here. ”

Mrs. Sha smiled slightly, and was about to speak, when Murong Danyan rushed to the side and said, "Brother Li, I knew you couldn't figure it out." There's a lot of weird stuff in this cave, would you like to see it?"

Seeing that Murong Danyan was rushing to speak, Mrs. Sha shut up and didn't say anything, but a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Li Qiufeng was stunned, not knowing what Murong Danyan wanted him to see. Murong Danyan saw that Li Qiufeng was at a loss, and immediately laughed proudly, and said, "Brother Li, I'll take you to see something, and I'll surprise you!"

Li Qiufeng saw that Murong Danyan was excited, and a little naughty, and was in doubt, he inadvertently made eye contact with Mrs. Sha, but saw Mrs. Sha squeezing her eyes at him, and gently pointed at Murong Danyan with her right hand, signaling him to obey Murong Danyan's words. Although Li Qiufeng was still suspicious in her heart, she knew that Mrs. Sha was acting steadily, since she wanted to listen to Murong Danyan's words by herself, it must be reasonable to think about it, so she said to Murong Danyan: "I don't know what Murong girl wants Li to see?"

Murong Danyan grabbed Li Qiufeng's sleeve with his right hand and said to him, "Brother Li, you come with me!"
