Yang Zhenzhong seemed to have expected that Li Qiufeng would not agree, but he just let out a faint "oh" and was not too disappointed.

The two walked through a long alley, arrived at a street, then turned to the right, walked more than 100 steps, and arrived at the main road leading to Nancheng. At this time, it was already the third watch, and the sound of the defenders on the city wall was heard from afar. Yang Zhenzhong said: "This night is so long, it seems like a few days. I don't know if the people of Xiuwu County will know that so many things have happened in the city overnight. ”

Li Qiufeng said: "It's best not to know, otherwise you will be frightened." Whether the world is good or bad, the people are always the most unlucky. I have been in Xiuwu County for a few months, and I have had many intersections with the people. In the past, it was said in the book that 'mourning the difficulties of people's livelihood', but I didn't know much. It's just that I mix with the people every day to know how difficult it is for small families to get food and clothing. ”

In the center of the earthquake, he thought, what can a mother-in-law like you do? He originally wanted to recruit Li Qiufeng for his own use, but he was rejected by Li Qiufeng three times and twice, and his heart to take him under his command at this time also faded. I only heard him say in a deep voice: "I don't know what Li Baihu plans to do in the future?"

Li Qiufeng said: "Li has no plans. At the time of the imperial mausoleum, Lord Duocheng raised his noble hand and did not embarrass Li. Li will only be a prodigal son in the future, and wherever he goes, he will count. ”

At this point, he paused slightly, and then said, "Maybe I'll go to Fusang Country to have a look, but maybe I can't say." ”

Yang Zhen was stunned, turned his head to look at Li Qiufeng, and said, "Fusang Kingdom, what are you doing there?"

Li Qiufeng said: "Li heard that Fusang is just a small country, and the people are poor and weak. However, such a frontier place thousands of miles overseas has repeatedly dared to take action against China. Li was puzzled, if there was a chance in the future, he would like to see what kind of place Fusang was. ”

Yang Zhenzhong turned his head and continued to move forward, and said: "Sometimes I really envy Li Baihu, I can go if I want to, and I am at ease." ”

Li Qiufeng said: "The adults laughed. Compared with adults, Li is far behind. Looking at the world, I don't know how many people are in awe of adults. It's just that I've left Jinyiwei, and my lord still shouldn't call me Baihu anymore. ”

Yang Zhenzhong said: "Although you have left Jinyiwei, sometimes, Jinyiwei's identity is still of many uses to you. I am confident that you will not do anything to betray Daming, and with your nameplate, I will still put it in the Jinyi Wei case vault and will not destroy it. In the future, if you encounter Jinyiwei's brother in trouble, please ...... Li Daxia read the love of incense and was able to help. ”

Li Qiufeng said: "Jinyiwei is famous, and the officials and people all over the world are terrified, how can anyone dare to offend Jinyiwei?"

Yang Zhenzhong said: "You have been working in the South Division, and you don't know the risks of the North Division. In fact, no less than forty or fifty Jinyi guards are killed or disappeared every year. Some of these people were mixed in with the Tartars, their identities were revealed, and they were poisoned by the Tartars. Some of them went to the Japanese villages to spy on the military and kill the Japanese invaders. Others were sent to investigate the filthy deeds of those filthy officials, only to be noticed and ended up with no bones left. At the end of each year, when I write off the tragic death and missing Jinyiwei brand, the pen in my hand weighs more than 1,000 catties. Alas. ”

Yang Zhenzhong said this and let out a long sigh. Li Qiufeng suddenly remembered something, and said: "I met a Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi in Fengmen Village, surnamed Gao Mingcheng, who was ordered to follow Old Lady Nie more than forty years ago. Over the years, he has been lurking in the closed gate village and lost contact with Jinyiwei. A few days ago, I was trapped in Fengmen Village, and I escaped with his help. I also hope that the adults can send someone to pick him up, so that he can return to his hometown as soon as possible and live in his old age. ”

Yang Zhenzhong said: "Okay, I'll write it down." ”

As the two spoke, they saw the arrow tower on the gate of the southern city from a distance. Yang Zhenzhong said: "Li Daxia, I received a secret report from Jinyi Wei yesterday that more than 1,000 people from Huashan, Kunlun, Qingcheng and other factions gathered outside the southern city. I guess it was Li Daxia who made an appointment with these Jianghu figures, asking them to stand by outside the southern city, and when the Japanese invaded, they should cooperate with the outside to exterminate the Japanese invaders. It's just that I have already mobilized the soldiers and horses of Jinyiwei and Guidewei and Suiyangwei, if these gangs also enter Xiuwu County, it is very easy to clash with officers and soldiers. So I sent men to stand guard outside the southern gates of the city, and stopped them all. These characters are unruly, and they only want to rush into the city. Fortunately, Liu Yong of the Huashan faction was indeed a general figure, and he stopped everyone, so he avoided a fight. I brought you to Nancheng to tell the leaders of these Jianghu sects that the Japanese have been dispersed, and I want them not to enter the city, but to go back to their own gates as soon as possible. ”

Li Qiufeng nodded and said, "No wonder Mr. Liu and the others haven't entered the city, it turned out that they were stopped by Lord Yang." ”

Yang Zhenzhong said: "It's a good thing that they don't go into the city. Among these sects, there are also scum who have been bought by the Japanese bandits, and if they enter the city, not only will they not be able to help, but they will cause more trouble. It's just that they refused to leave, so they had to ask Li Daxia to persuade them. ”

Li Qiufeng's heart sank, and he was about to ask who the undercover agents of the would-be were when he suddenly remembered Yun Zhongzi, the head of the Tianshan faction. Even the head of the Tianshan faction, who has such a good martial arts position in the rivers and lakes, has been bribed by the Japanese bandits, and it is not uncommon for some people in other gangs to collude with the Japanese bandits.

When the two walked to the city gate, they saw more than 100 soldiers standing at the city gate, all wearing helmets and armor, holding swords and guns. Li Qiufeng saw that these soldiers were different from the guards he usually saw defending the city, and they were much more powerful and majestic. Yang Zhenzhong seemed to guess what Li Qiufeng was thinking, and said to him: "These are the soldiers of Gui Dewei and Suiyang Wei. After they arrived in Xiuwu County, they took over the four city gates. If you only rely on the old and weak soldiers in Xiuwu County, I am afraid that this city will have been flattened by the Japanese invaders. ”

Li Qiufeng thought to himself that Yang Zhenzhong was well-planned, and he was too far behind him. If it weren't for the fact that Jinyiwei had already prepared and transferred the soldiers and horses of Gui Dewei and Suiyang Wei, even if he fought to the death with the Japanese in the City God's Temple, the people of Xiuwu County would have suffered countless casualties. He looked up at the city, but saw that the city was densely packed with soldiers, completely different from the idle and boring soldiers on weekdays.

A military attache who led the team saw Yang Zhenzhong and Li Qiufeng coming over, raised his right hand, and all the soldiers immediately aimed their swords and guns at the two. The military attache drew his steel sword and shouted to the two: "Stop! You disobey the curfew, and your sins will not be forgiven!

Yang Zhenzhong took out a bronze medal from his right hand, held it in front of him, and said to the military attaché: "This is the waist card of this official, you come and take a look." ”

With a wave of the military attaché's right hand, all the soldiers shouted, and rushed forward, surrounding Li Qiufeng and Yang Zhenzhong in the middle, and pointed the swords and guns in their hands at the two of them. The military attache stepped forward, took the torch from one of the soldiers in his left hand, held it in front of Yang Zhenzhong, and looked at the bronze medal carefully. When he saw the handwriting on the bronze medal clearly, his face changed greatly, and he knelt on the ground with a "plop", and said: "Humble duty belongs to the king of the hundred households of Dewei, and meet the lord." ”

After Wang Wei knelt down, more than 100 soldiers around Li Qiufeng and Yang Zhenzhong also knelt down in unison.

Yang Zhenzhong took the bronze medal back into his arms and said to Wang Wei: "Wang Baihu, please get up." What's going on outside the city?"

Wang Wei stood up and said respectfully: "Lord Qiyu, Lord Su Kun of Benwei Qianhu, together with Jinyi Wei Shi Qianhu and other adults, have been guarding outside the city. Those charlatans made a noise at first, but then they were silent. But these people did not retreat, and still gathered outside the city. ”

Yang Zhenzhong nodded and said, "Open the city gate, and the official will go out and take a look." ”

Wang Wei agreed, ran to the city gate cave by himself, and pulled the city gate with more than a dozen soldiers. I only heard the sound of "rails" continuously, and the heavy city gate slowly opened.

Yang Zhenzhong and Li Qiufeng walked out of the city gate side by side, only to see hundreds of soldiers lined up more than a hundred steps outside the city gate. And behind the soldiers, there were dozens of brocade guards wearing flying fish suits. When they heard the gates open, they all turned their heads to look. Seeing that the epicenter of the sun had arrived, he immediately knelt on the ground.

After Jinyiwei and a group of soldiers knelt down, Li Qiufeng's eyes were open. I saw a large group of people standing hundreds of steps away. These people lit dozens of fires and were gathering around the fire to keep warm. When many people saw the gate open, they immediately looked at the gate.
