Chapter 483

Li Qiufeng's thoughts turned sharply in his heart, but the expression on his face remained unchanged at all, and he said: "This is a matter between the family teacher and Mr. Liu, I am just a junior who has entered the last stream, how can I participate in such a major event? If the master does not believe it, he can ask Mr. Liu and the family teacher." ”

Monk Guangzhi's face was cloudy, his eyes were staring at Li Qiufeng, and he said: "Although the Japanese people in Fujian have come to their aid in a big way, Mr. Liu has a lot of scruples about them, and he will definitely not let the masters of Sanshan Island participate in this matter. If your master knew that the person belonged to the Xiao family in Fujian, why didn't he expose the matter on Hutou Rock?"

Li Qiufeng was shocked when he heard Monk Guangzhi mention that the Japanese in Fujian had also arrived at Hutou Rock to help Liu Sheng Zongyan and others. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese on the southeast coast have constantly harassed the merchant ships at sea and the people along the coast. During the reign of Taizu and Chengzu, a sea ban was imposed on the coastal areas, and the Ming naval army beat the Japanese to almost disappear. It's just that when the emperors after Chengzu were in power, they thought that the Japanese were just a plague of mustard, and there was no need to raise a large army to exterminate them. And the power of the northern Warat became stronger and stronger, and the imperial court had to place heavy troops in the north. After the Tumubao Incident, the imperial court paid more attention to the northern defense line, and all the elite of the army were sent to the nine sides, and the defense of the Japanese on the southeast coast was gradually weakened. Although the imperial court set up a palace to prepare the Japanese capital, it did not attach importance to it. The guards were full of old, weak and disabled soldiers, and the officials falsely reported the military household accounts to eat empty salaries. Some traitors took the opportunity to collude with the Japanese pirates who were wandering on the sea, intruded on the southeast coast, and caused the most serious disturbance in Fujian. With the help of traitors, the Japanese even abandoned their boats and landed ashore, occupied some islands off the coast, and openly confronted the imperial court. However, the health centers in various parts of the southeast have become virtually nonexistent, and even many officials have taken advantage of the Japanese to gain self-respect, making the problem of the Japanese more and more serious.

When Li Qiufeng was on an errand in Jinyiwei, many Jinyiwei were sent to the southeast every year, on the one hand, to monitor local officials, and on the other hand, to inquire about the Japanese army. According to the secret report of Jinyiwei, at that time, there was civil strife in the Japanese country, and after a large number of defeated Japanese warriors fled from the Japanese country, they had nowhere to go and had to drift on the sea. These samurai were strong in martial arts, and many of them were once princes or generals of the Wa Kingdom, and were proficient in the art of war. Unwilling to fail, these people gathered together at sea, plundered merchant ships, recruited troops, and stockpiled supplies, in an attempt to make a comeback and regain the power of the Japanese state. And the bigwigs of the Ming court have always thought that these pirates are just some pirates, and they are not the same as the strong Tartar soldiers. In fact, the Japanese are far from being comparable to ordinary pirates, in fact, they are no different from the army, and they pay attention to the art of war when marching and fighting, and they are an extremely elite army. Many of the spies sent by Jinyiwei are extremely powerful masters, although they are mixed into the Japanese bandits, they are often discovered by the Japanese robbers, and there are really a lot of losses.

The Sanshan Island mentioned by the monk Guangzhi is the lair of a Japanese army, and its power is very important among the Japanese invaders, which is really a great disaster for the Ming Dynasty. It is said that there are still many scum of the Central Plains martial arts on the island, and these evil demons are extremely good at martial arts. Although Li Qiufeng knew that Liu Sheng Zongyan wanted to usurp the Ming Dynasty under the name of Liu Zongyan, he only heard Liu Sheng Feiyan and Zhu Yue talk about the origin of the Liu Sheng clan, and only said that the Liu Sheng clan was to escape the pursuit of the Japanese generals, so they left their hometown and came to Daming, and did not expect that they would collude with the Japanese in the southeast coast of Fujian. However, a few days ago, he had heard that the Fujian Japanese had also come to Shajiabao, and he did not pay attention to it at that time. It's just that at this time, listening to the meaning of Monk Guangzhi's words, the Japanese on the southeast coast have indeed arrived here, and it seems that they are colluding with Yanagi Zongyan. However, both sides have their own ghosts, and Yanagi Zongyan is also secretly wary of these Japanese robbers.

He knew that he couldn't talk much about Yanagi Zongyan and Yu Qingzi at this time, he didn't know much, if he accidentally exposed his flaws, Monk Guangzhi would definitely burst out and hurt people. The most important thing at the moment is to separate this old monk, otherwise although it is not difficult for him to get out, Murong Danyan will not be able to escape the poisonous hands of this monk. Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "Master has always been cautious in doing things, maybe he thinks that the time has not come, and it is still useful to keep this surname Xiao." It may also be that Mr. Liu still has the eyes of the imperial court by his side, and it is not good to expose this matter in public, because he did not mention the origin of that person. ”

Monk Guangzhi snorted, and said: "Be cautious in doing things? He is indeed cautious in doing things, otherwise he would not have overwhelmed his peers, but he ended up being driven out of the Wudang faction by his brothers and sisters." ”

Li Qiufeng's heart moved. The origin of that Yu Qingzi is extremely mysterious, although the people in the rivers and lakes have heard of this person's name, but they don't know why he suddenly disappeared, and suddenly appeared in Shajiabao, and regarded himself as the head of the Wudang faction. At this time, listening to the words of the monk Guangzhi, Yu Qingzi's martial arts can be said to be the most powerful in the Wudang faction, but for some reason he was not on good terms with his classmates, and was finally expelled from the Wudang faction. This monk is both betraying the master, and the two are both helping each other, but they are wary of each other. Yanagi Zongyan recruited these two people by his side, but he was afraid that it would take a lot of effort.

As he was thinking, he suddenly noticed that someone was slowly approaching on his left. He saw that Monk Guangzhi's face also changed slightly, and he knew that the old monk had also noticed that someone had arrived. Li Qiufeng thought secretly in his heart: "Could it be that Mr. Liu and other seniors have not come back because Miss Murong and I have not returned, and they can't come to answer it?" If Mr. Liu, Qingfeng Dao Chief, Chu Zhangmen, and Xu Zhangmen all arrive, and everyone joins forces, this old monk will not be able to escape justice!"

I only heard Monk Guangzhi say: "Sand Castle Lord, since you have arrived, why don't you show up and see it?"

Li Qiufeng's heart sank, thinking that if Sha Yiming arrived, and Monk Guangzhi came with another helper, it would be even more difficult for him and Murong Danyan to get out. Just thinking about how to escape from this place, he only heard the sound of footsteps, and then turned out from behind a big tree more than ten feet away. I saw that this person was dressed in a green robe, wearing a gauze crown, a white face and a short beard, and holding a long sword in his right hand, which was Sha Yilu, who was pretending to be Sha Yiming, the lord of Shajiabao Fort.

Although Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan had never seen Sha Yilu make moves with people, they both knew that this person's martial arts were not weak. It is extremely difficult for the two of them to deal with Monk Guangzhi, and at this time, there is another master, and they are all shocked. I saw Sha Yilu floating in front of Monk Guangzhi and said with a smile: "The master is really good." There are so many of us rounding up everywhere, but the master still has great powers and intercepted this kid here. ”

Monk Guangzhi said: "The master of the sand castle does not sit in the sand fort, what are you doing here?"

He said this very rudely, but Sha Yilu didn't care, and said with a smile: "There are many masters in Dongchang who have arrived in Shajiabao, and Master Zhuang is in the middle of the dispatch, in good order, and there is nothing to do in Shajiabao." It's just that Mr. Liu was worried that the master and the Taoist of Yuqingzi were not familiar with the terrain of Hutou Rock, so he asked Sha to help the two of them. ”

Monk Guangzhi said: "Mr. Liu is worried that the old man will miss and be escaped again by this kid?"

Sha Yilu shook his head and said, "Master doesn't have to be careful, Mr. Liu didn't have such intentions when he wanted to come." The master and the head of the Yuqing Zidao are the heads of the two major schools of Shaolin and Wudang, who are in charge of martial arts, and their martial arts are unique in the sea, how can they miss again in this unknown junior?!"

It sounds like he is touting Monk Guangzhi and Yu Qingzi, but what he says is Pi Li Yangqiu, how can Monk Guangzhi not hear it? It's just that he knows that Liu Sheng Zongyan relies heavily on this Shajiabao Castle Lord, and he will rebuild the Shaolin faction in the future, but he will also get the great help of the major gangs in the rivers and lakes, and this person must not be offended. Although he knew that Sha Yilu's words were both positive and negative, he was not angry.

Murong Danyan saw that Sha Yilu looked like no one in his eyes, thinking that this person pretended to be Sha Yiming's name and made a good Shajiabao into a miasma, forcing Mrs. Sha's mother and son to have almost no place to stand, he was annoyed in his heart, and said loudly: "One of you two is pretending to be the owner of Shajiabao Castle to do evil, and the other is claiming to be the head of the Shaolin faction to help the abuse, they are not good people, and they still have the face to talk nonsense here, and they are not ashamed?!"

Sha Yilu pretending to be Sha Yiming, in addition to the people in Shajiabao, only a few people such as Yanagi Zongyan knew. Most of the family members loyal to Sha Yiming in Shajiabao have been killed by Sha Yilu, and those who escaped by luck have never walked around the rivers and lakes, and Sha Yiming was seriously injured and died in a competition with Yan Wuji. And Yanagi Zongyan wants to use the name of the lord of Shajiabao to think that it has been used, and naturally he will not reveal the true identity of Sha Yilu. Even the Guangzhi monk and Yu Qingzi and others did not know Sha Yilu's true identity, so they only said that he was Sha Yiming, the lord of Shajiabao Fort. At this time, when he heard Murong Danyan accusing Sha Yilu of "pretending to be the name of the lord of Shajiabao", Monk Guangzhi only said that she was just talking nonsense to vent her anger, but he didn't care. It's just that Murong Danyan said that he "claimed to be the head of the Shaolin faction", but he was quite annoyed in his heart, rolled his eyes, glared at Murong Danyan and said, "What do you know about this unknown junior, dare to make irresponsible remarks in front of the old man and the sand castle master?"

Monk Guangzhi believed that Li Qiufeng was a disciple of Qingfeng Daoist, and since Murong Danyan was on the same road with him, he naturally had a lot to do with Yuqingzi. Murong Danyan made a mockery of Sha Yilu and himself, naturally in order to open his eyes for Yuqingzi. Just took this opportunity to play right and wrong in front of Sha Yilu, which made Sha Jiabao dislike Yu Qingzi. After the success of the big event, if Yuqingzi is not good for him, he can also pull Shajiabao to fight against the Wudang faction. Moreover, the swordsman in front of him has extremely high martial arts, and he must be Yu Qingzi's right-hand man. At this time, if he took advantage of Yu Qingzi's absence and joined forces with Sha Yilu to kill this swordsman, it could be said that he had broken Yu Qingzi's wings. Yu Qingzi has never explained the identity of this kid, even if he is killed, Yu Qingzi can't blame himself in front of Yanagi Zongyan.

Thinking of this, Monk Guangzhi said to Sha Yilu: "Sand Castle Lord, I'm afraid you don't know yet, these two boys are the disciples of Yuqingzi. We spent so much time, but Yu Qingzi wanted to reap the benefits of the fisherman. Sand Castle Lord, I'm afraid that your Shajiabao and our Shaolin faction will work hard, but in the end they will make wedding dresses for others, and in the end, the bamboo basket will be empty, sigh, sigh. ”
