Seeing Li Qiufeng's appearance like this, Old Lady Nie was a little puzzled. Although he was quite jealous of Li Qiufeng, he didn't think much of him. The reason why he was with Li Qiufeng and the snake was just to use him to attract Jinyi Wei and help the Nie family deal with the Japanese invaders. At this time, seeing Li Qiufeng's unfathomable appearance, he was silent again, and his heart became a little uneasy.

Li Qiufeng, Old Lady Nie, and Nie Dingnan were all silent, and there was a dead silence in the room, except for the "click" sound made by Li Qiufeng's fingers occasionally flicking on the table.

After a while, Old Lady Nie finally couldn't help it anymore and said, "Lord Li, you brought the old man here, and you didn't speak, the old man was very uneasy. Can Master Li give the old man a clear indication so that he can rest assured?"

Li Qiufeng saw that Old Lady Nie couldn't hold his breath anymore, and he was in the middle of it. He glanced at Old Lady Nie and said in a deep voice: "I can't hide it, Li went out early in the morning, according to the agreement, to meet the people sent by Lord Xu." ”

Old lady Nie thought to himself that he had known that your kid had other important things to do when he went out in the morning, but he said nonsense to go to see the snow scene, and he really couldn't play Lao Tzu as a child? ”

When he said this, he paused slightly, and after a while, he cautiously asked, "I don't know what Lord Xu has to say?"

Li Qiufeng saw that although the old lady Nie said it easily, the eyes that had been squinting had already opened, and he knew that his words had moved the old fox. It was because he groaned slightly, and said: "Lord Xu has received a secret report that the Japanese will attack the City God Temple before noon today......

Before Li Qiufeng's words fell, Old Lady Nie's face changed greatly. Nie Dingnan, who was standing at the door, screamed even more in surprise, and said in a trembling voice: "Before noon today...... How is this possible......"

Old Lady Nie's expression changed drastically, but it had returned to its original state in an instant. I saw him glaring at Nie Dingnan, Nie Dingnan was immediately shocked that he was speechless, and hurriedly stopped talking.

Old Lady Nie said to Li Qiufeng: "Since Lord Xu has received the news, he is naturally extremely reliable. Thanks to Lord Li's timely notification of the old decay, the four of us have room to maneuver. To tell the truth, the Japanese invaders had sent someone to contact us before, claiming that the big leader of the Japanese would go to Xiuwu County to meet with the old man on the day of the Lantern Festival. At that time, the place that Lao Yu chose to meet was the City God Temple. It seems that the Japanese invaders started a day ahead of schedule to catch us off guard. ”

When Old Lady Nie said this, she turned her head to Nie Dingnan and said, "Dingnan, you immediately go to Dingzhong and Baixing, gather the heads of the Lu, Zhao, and Du families, and prepare them within an hour according to the plan we have discussed." ”

Nie Dingnan agreed, and then pushed the door out.

After Nie Dingnan left, Old Lady Nie turned to Li Qiufeng and said, "Lord Li, I don't know what Lord Xu's plans are?"

Li Qiufeng said: "Lord Xu naturally wants to help Old Lady Nie to eliminate the Japanese in Xiuwu County. It's just that after the Yuntai Mountain tragedy, Jinyiwei was in an extremely passive situation and had to withdraw from Xiuwu County. In order not to be discovered, hundreds of brocade guards were divided into more than ten teams and stationed in various places outside the city. It will take some time for Lord Xu to gather these people together. However, Lord Xu asked Old Lady Nie to rest assured that as long as the Jinyi Guard was assembled, he would come to help in a big way. ”

Old lady Nie didn't know that Jinyiwei didn't know about this at all, and when he heard Li Qiufeng say this, he thought that Xu Yingyang had made up his mind to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. It's just that he thinks that he has already made arrangements, and he is not afraid of the Japanese robbers. What's more, he wished that the three families of Lu, Zhao, and Du would fight with the Japanese first, and Jinyiwei would not make a move for the time being, and after the three families lost most of them, the Nie family and Jinyiwei would join forces to attack, and his plan of killing two birds with one stone would be realized, which was the best result. After Li Qiufeng finished speaking, Old Lady Nie was not annoyed, and said: "With the help of Jinyi Wei, we will definitely be able to kill the widows cleanly." ”

Li Qiufeng said: "When I came back, I happened to meet the tolerance of the county yamen. I heard from them that the brigade of the Henan Judicial Department Yamen will also arrive in Xiuwu County today. We have an extra new force, and we are a little more sure of defeating the Japanese invaders. ”

Old lady Nie said: "Lord Li, the tolerance of the Yamen of Xiuwu County and the Yamen of the Luoyang Prefect is fast, and we can all rely on it." It's just that Henan is not under our control according to the tolerance of the judge's yamen, and they are very arrogant one by one. Even if they arrived, they wouldn't be able to help. ”

While the two were talking, they could only hear a chaotic noise in the next room, followed by the sound of footsteps in the courtyard, and it seemed that many people had poured into the courtyard. Old lady Nie saw Li Qiufeng staring at the door, knowing that he was suspicious, and said with a smile: "Lord Li don't worry, the courtyard is full of our people." If Lord Li doesn't have anything to do, he might as well go out with the old man to take a look. ”

Li Qiufeng nodded. Old Lady Nie stood up and said to Li Qiufeng, "Lord Li, please." ”

Li Qiufeng was not polite and strode out. But when the door opened, he couldn't help but be taken aback. I saw that one or two hundred people had gathered in the courtyard, both old and young, all carrying swords in their hands. It's just that these weapons are not only swords, but also spears, halberds, steel forks, Emei thorns, judge's pens, etc. There are even some Qimen blades that are extremely strange, Li Qiufeng has never seen them, and he doesn't know what their names are. He secretly thought in his heart that in order to deal with the Xu family, the four families of Nie, Lu, Zhao, and Du not only insisted on sealing the village, but also sent the children of the four families to all parts of the world. I think that some of these people are officials, some are in business, and more people are mixed into the gangs. It is because the weapons in the hands of these people are varied, and each is different. The people who live in the City God Temple are all the heads of the four families, and all of them have some skills.

When everyone in the courtyard saw Old Lady Nie walk out, they stood still. Old lady Nie called a black-robed man with half-white hair: "Old Seven, have you arrived at the Lu family?"

The black-robed man said respectfully: "Uncle Nie, there are a total of forty-one people in our Lu family in this courtyard, and they have all arrived. ”

Old lady Nie said: "When will your father arrive, why hasn't he been approved yet?"

The black-robed man said: "His old man was unwell, and there was a delay on the way, so he let the little nephew lead the children of the Lu family to arrive first." It is estimated that in two or three days, his old man will definitely be able to rush to Xiuwu County. ”

Li Qiufeng thought secretly in his heart, it seemed that the person that Old Lady Nie and the black-robed man were talking about was Old Lady Lu, the patriarch of the Lu family. Listening to what the Nie family said, Old Lady Lu is extremely good, and the Nie family is also extremely jealous of him. At present, the leaders of the Nie, Zhao, and Du families have all rushed to Xiuwu County, but the old lady Lu has not arrived. The Nie family wants to use the hand of the Japanese to eliminate the other three families in one fell swoop, if the old lady Lu slips through the net, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles.

When Li Qiufeng was thinking about it, he heard Old Lady Nie sneer, and said: "At this time, the second child is still playing with these tricks. By then, we will all die here, leaving him alone to be the soil emperor of Fengmen Village, and there is another fart?!"

The black-robed body trembled, and said in a trembling voice: "Uncle Nie doesn't have to be careful, my father definitely has no cowardice in the enemy. ”

Old lady Nie snorted and said, "Of the nine brothers in your Lu family's room, only you and Lao Jiu are here. Even if you add it, there are only three people. All three of us who can come have arrived, and even Dingnan and others, who are sticking to their hometown in Fengmen Village, have also been summoned by me. That's because this battle is dangerous, and it is definitely not under the battle of Haizhou. The second brother ignores the overall situation, and still plays with these small means, do you really want to wait for the corpses of our three families to be all over the field, leaving only your Lu family to be the only one, so that his wish can be fulfilled?!"

The black-robed man listened to Old Lady Nie's scolding, but he was speechless, so he had to hang his head and remain silent.

Old Lady Nie got angry, and finally sneered and said, "Old Seven, don't be angry with me. Lord Li has already sent the news that the Japanese are going to attack us at noon today. The three of us have gathered, but only your Lu family is watching from the wall, so I can't help but be annoyed. ”

The black-robed man said, "Please forgive Uncle Nie." ”

Old Lady Nie's face softened, and she said to the black-robed man: "Old Seven, it's not me who provokes the relationship between your father and son. There are twelve brothers in the Lu family's house, except for the fourth and eleventh who died early, among the remaining ten people, the battle of Haizhou was for you and the ninth and tenth to take people to the battle, and the old ten died in battle. This time, it was you and Lao Jiu who took the lead, and the rest of the people still didn't show up. Your mother was born in Yahuan, and Lao Jiu's mother died early, because your two brothers were not treated well in the Lu family. If you continue to toss like this, I'm afraid that your fate will not be much better than that of Lao Shi!"
