Li Qiufeng was shocked when he heard Old Lady Nie mention Yun Feiyang, and secretly thought that Old Lady Nie actually knew Yun Feiyang, it seemed that his official status in the capital was not fake. This person is familiar with the officialdom of the capital, and he must be careful not to be seen by him. It was because he groaned slightly, and then he said: "It's not a secret, Lord Yun unfortunately died a few months ago because he went out on an errand. ”

Old Lady Nie's face changed, "oh", thought for a moment, and then sighed and said, "It's really unpredictable. It is really a pity that such a great character as Lord Yun was also poisoned. ”

Li Qiufeng said: "Exactly." Master Yun is strong in martial arts and extremely wise, and we all admire him very much. At present, the person in charge of the investigation of the North Division is Xu Yingyang Xu. He personally sat in Xiuwu County, which shows that the imperial court is extremely concerned about this matter. ”

Old Lady Nie narrowed her eyes and said, "That's the best." With the help of Jinyiwei, our chances of winning have increased a lot. Without further ado, please contact Lord Xu as soon as possible, and be sure to prepare in the city before the day after tomorrow. ”

Li Qiufeng thought to himself, where should I find Xu Yingyang right now? But at this time, I must not tell Old Lady Nie about this matter. Otherwise, this old guy might come up with some tricks to deal with him. If he knew that he was alone and knew so many secrets, he was afraid that the first thing he would kill would be himself. It was Li Qiufeng who nodded and said, "In that case, I will go out of the city overnight to see Lord Xu." ”

What Old Lady Nie wants is Li Qiufeng's words. Seeing that he agreed, Old Lady Nie immediately stood up and said, "Then there is Master Lao Li." After this matter is completed, Lord Li is the great benefactor of our Nie family, as long as you Lord Li says a word, our Nie family will obey it. ”

Li Qiufeng heard that the old lady Nie only mentioned the Nie family, and did not mention the Lu, Zhao, and Du families, and thought to himself, it seems that this old guy is determined to use the hands of the Japanese to get rid of the Lu, Zhao, and Du families, and then use the government to destroy the Japanese invaders. Since I promised him to go to Xu Yingyang, although I don't know where Xu Yingyang is now with Jinyiwei, I have to pretend to go out for a walk. Thinking of this, he also stood up and said to Old Lady Nie, "Then I'll go see Lord Xu first." I'll talk about it when I get back. ”

The two went out of the house together. At this time, the night outside the house was dark, but the sky above the front yard was illuminated by lanterns. Li Qiufeng locked the door, said goodbye to Old Lady Nie, and went out of the backyard by himself. I saw that the front yard was empty, but the lanterns everywhere were lit, and it looked extremely strange.

Li Qiufeng was thinking about where to go as he walked forward, and when he was about to walk to the stone steps at the gate, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him. He only said that it was Old Lady Nie who sent someone to follow him, and suddenly turned around, but saw a person following him from afar, and it turned out to be Miaozhu.

Li Qiufeng saw that Miaozhu was frightened, and he didn't know what was going on, so before he walked in front of him, he immediately asked, "Brother, is something wrong?"

Miao Zhu ran to Li Qiufeng's side and said in a trembling voice: "I just listened to the uncle's words, where does the villain dare to live in the backyard, so I carried the quilt to the main hall and made do with it for a few nights." After the Lantern Festival, the plague gods in the backyard are gone, and the villain moves back to the backyard. It's just that the villain has something in his heart, he can't sleep all the time, he sits at the door of the hall in a daze, and happens to see the uncle going out, so the villain comes to see off the uncle. It's just that it's so late, and the uncle still has to go out?"

Li Qiufeng said: "I went out to do some things, but my brother was worried." ”

Miao Zhu sighed and said, "This year's things are really strange, and the villain is always unhappy in his heart. It's not too peaceful in the city now, and the uncle goes out so late, but you must be careful. ”

Miao Zhu kept sending Li Qiufeng out of the temple gate, and then closed the door and went back. Li Qiufeng stood at the gate of the temple, only to see that the crowd in the open space in front of him had disappeared. The lanterns around were still lit and swaying in the cold wind.

Li Qiufeng secretly thought in his heart, Old Lady Nie was an old fox, since he let himself go to Xu Yingyang, maybe he would send someone to follow him quietly. I have to go around in a circle to see if there is anyone behind, and then go around the city to deal with this matter. Now that Zhang Hao has disappeared, he has cut off contact with Jinyiwei. However, with Xu Yingyang's wisdom, he will definitely not wait for news outside the city, and will definitely send another person into the city to investigate. If there are sword soldiers in the city, the Jinyi Guard will naturally come to investigate, because he doesn't have to worry that the Jinyi Guard will stand by. The most important thing at the moment is whether the various sects will return as scheduled. If there is no help from martial arts gangs such as Huashan, Kunlun, Emei, and Qingcheng, it would be tantamount to a fool's dream to deal with the Japanese invaders.

He made up his mind, first walked west along the street in front of the City God Temple, then turned to the north of the city, made a big circle, and then turned to the south of the city. Along the way, he peeked behind him from time to time, but he didn't notice anyone following him. Li Qiufeng thought to himself that Old Lady Nie was really an amazing character, and everything was unexpected. I want to deal with this old guy, but I'm afraid it's not his opponent.

When he reached the south gate, the gate was already locked. Li Qiufeng found a place where no one was around, and climbed the city wall with light skills. I saw that flags were set up on the city wall, and several guards of the city were standing or standing, all of whom had fallen into a deep sleep. Li Qiufeng took the opportunity to climb over the city wall and reached the south gate. It was midnight, the sky was full of stars, and the wind was cold, but there was no human figure. Li Qiufeng walked south along the official road, thinking about how to deal with the Japanese as he went. But after thinking about it, I can only come up with the words "improvisation", and if I want to come up with a good plan to deal with the Japanese invaders, I also know that it is completely impossible. Perhaps only the old lady Nie was confident at this time, and was bent on luring the Japanese into the city, so that the Japanese would massacre the children of the Lu, Zhao, and Du families who lived in the north of the city and the Chenghuang Temple, and the Nie family would watch from the wall. After the Japanese invaders succeeded, the Nie family came forward to clean up the mess.

Li Qiufeng walked out of more than a mile along the official road, and was about to turn around and go back to the city, when he suddenly stopped.

He could already sense someone approaching him, and the two of them were no more than twenty feet apart.

It was a wilderness, only a short distance behind him were five or six dead trees on the side of the road, shaking in the cold wind.

Li Qiufeng slowly turned around and said to the five or six dead trees: "Since Your Excellency has arrived, why don't you show up to meet you?"

Li Qiufeng's voice fell, and by the faint light of the stars, he saw a figure flickering behind a big tree, and a person Shi Shiran walked out, until he walked three feet in front of Li Qiufeng, and then stopped, and said, "Brother Li, please." ”

Li Qiufeng looked fixedly, this person was dressed in a black robe, and he was holding a black sheath long sword in his right hand, which was Cheng Yufan of Xiuwu County.

When Li Qiufeng saw that Yu Fan had arrived, he was stunned, and then secretly thought, Mei Dali was blowing nonsense, saying that he would stare at Yu Fan. But Yu Fan appeared in front of him, but Mei Dali and his apprentices didn't know where they went. These scoundrels in the market, if they want to get things done, it is not a thought to think.

Yu Fan saw that Li Qiufeng did not answer, but said that he was wary of his other plans. It was with his right hand that he thrust the long sword into the ground, then raised his hands high, and said: "Brother Li, Yu has no malicious intentions, please Brother Li don't be surprised." ”

Li Qiufeng snorted and said, "It turned out to be Lord Yu." I didn't expect it to be so late, and you followed Li to take a ride outside the city, which was really interesting. ”

Yu Fan listened to Li Qiufeng's sarcastic words, but he was not angry, and took a few steps forward before he spoke: "Yu knows that Brother Li looks down on me and thinks I am a lackey of the Japanese Kou. This matter is intertwined, you resent me and hated me, but it is also human nature, I don't blame you. ”

Li Qiufeng sneered and said, "Lord Yu's words are so unreasonable. Are you a lackey of the Japanese Bandits, what do you have to do with me? Why should I hate you and hate you?!"

Yu Fan said: "In fact, when I met Brother Li for the first time outside Luoyang City, Yu admired Brother Li's martial arts and had the heart to marry Brother Li. After that, from Luoyang all the way to Xiuwu County, many things happened on the way. Brother Li speaks and does things, all of which are admired by Yu. Yu has also been in the world for decades, and he has never seen a few promising heroes like Brother Li. If it weren't for Yu's deep blood feud, he really wanted to be friends with Brother Li for life. ”

When Yu Fan said this, he sighed, and his voice was full of misery and helplessness.
