At this time, there were still three or four hundred people standing outside the cave, and when they saw the feather arrows flying over like covering the sky and the sun, they waved their weapons to cover them. It's just that the tiger Ah Er was walking around the valley freely, looking triumphantly at the four or five hundred officers and soldiers who had shrunk into a ball. Suddenly, he was attacked by the bows and arrows of the officers and soldiers, and in the blink of an eye, he was hit by four or five feathered arrows. The tiger was in pain, raised its head and roared at the officers and men who were shooting arrows, and the officers and men on the hillside heard the tiger's roar and turned pale with fright, and five or six officers and men fell off the hillside with their knees weakened.

Sha Zhongyu saw that Ah Er was hit by an arrow, and hurriedly pursed his lips and howled, Ah Er originally grinned and was about to rush to the hillside. Just hearing Sha Zhongyu's call, he let out a low roar, turned around, and jumped back to Sha Zhongyu in a few steps. Sha Zhongyu saw that although Ah Er was hit by a few arrows in his back, fortunately, his skin was firm and thick, and the arrows did not penetrate the flesh deeply, so he was not seriously injured, so he was a little relieved. It's just that he has been inseparable from this tiger since he was a child, and when he saw it hurt, he also regretted it very much in his heart.

Li Qiufeng saw more and more officers and soldiers showing their heads on the hillside, and kept shooting arrows at the entrance of the cave from both sides. Fortunately, the distance was still far away, and the momentum had faded when the feather arrow came, and the threat was not very great. Zhu Sanjia whispered in Li Qiufeng's ear: "It seems that the infantry of the officers and soldiers has arrived. However, their horse corps suffered heavy casualties, and the commander-in-chief did not know the situation in this valley, so he did not dare to order the officers and men to attack in a big way. We must retreat into the cave as soon as possible and disperse the heroes into the various secret passages of the cave. At that time, it can be said that it is a one-man relationship, and it is impossible to open it. Even if there are 100,000 officers and soldiers, they can't help us for a while. ”

Li Qiufeng said: "Brother Zhu, you are familiar with the art of war, and you need to preside over the plan when it comes to fighting with officers and soldiers." It's just that the officers and soldiers besieged Qunhao, and there were people behind them. If we fight with the officers and soldiers to lose both, we will fall for the enemy's tricks. Can you think of a way to let us quietly escape from the siege of the officers and soldiers, and we don't have to fight them desperately......"

Zhu Sanjia's face was embarrassed, he thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Li Gongzi, when we escaped from the secret passage, you also saw the hanging stone ladder. If you want to escape from that secret passage with these three or four thousand people, and only pass through that stone staircase, I am afraid it will take a lot of time......"

When Li Qiufeng heard him, he really shuddered when he thought of the danger of the stone staircase, knowing that Zhu Sanjia's worries were not entirely unreasonable, so he had to nod. Zhu Sanjia said: "There is plenty of grain, grass and water in this cave, although there are many heroes who retreat into the cave, it is not difficult to hide for three or five days." This officer and soldier have come very strangely, and the grain and grass have been burned by your friends, and they can't last much time. Perhaps in a few days, they will withdraw the siege, and then we will be able to get out. ”

While the two were talking, most of the heroes had retreated into the cave. Later, only Liao Liao was left outside the cave. Murong Danyan waved the long sword in his hand to hit the flying feather arrows, and said to Li Qiufeng and Zhu Sanjia: "Brother Li, Brother Zhu, let's also retreat into the cave." ”

Li Qiufeng saw Deng Yao standing at the entrance of the cave, looking at the corpses of the beggar gang in the valley with a sad face, walked a few steps quickly to his side, and said in a low voice: "Gang Master Deng, you still want you to preside over the big things." Let's take refuge in the cave for the time being, and then we will take care of it. ”

The officers and soldiers on the hillside saw that most of the heroes had retreated into the cave, and even the huge tiger swayed into the cave with a young man. Li Qiufeng and Zhu Sanjia protected Deng Yao and Murong Danyan one left and one left, while waving the sword and gun in their hands, knocking the feather arrows away, and retreating backwards towards the entrance of the cave. After retreating into the cave, the sand jade waiting at the entrance of the cave pulled the mechanism, only to hear a loud sound of "rolling", and a huge stone door slowly descended from the top of the cave, blocking the entrance of the cave tightly.

At this time, the cave was full of people, and there were three or four thousand people crowded. Liu Yong had been guarding the entrance, and when he saw that Li Qiufeng had also retreated, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Brother Li, it's really hard for you!"

Li Qiufeng shook his head and said, "Thanks to the beggar brothers, we can get out of this difficulty." ”

After Liu Yong fled to this valley with Qunhao, he found the mechanism at the entrance of the cave and opened the stone door. Mrs. Sha had already taken Hou Zhen to guard the entrance of the cave, Liu Yong reported the name of Li Qiufeng, and Mrs. Sha immediately let Qunhao enter the cave. Liu Yong was worried that Li Qiufeng and the others would not be able to get rid of the pursuit of the officers and soldiers, so he originally wanted to lead the Huashan disciples out of the valley to respond. It's just that the crowd of heroes poured into the cave one after another, and the entrance of the cave was blocked tightly for a while, and the Huashan faction wanted to squeeze out of the cave, but they couldn't do it for a while.

Later, more and more people entered the cave, although Mrs. Sha was shrewd, everyone did not know her, and they saw that the cave was in chaos, and Mrs. Sha could not deal with it. Liu Yong had to stay in the cave and command Qunhao to settle in various places in the cave with the leaders of major gangs such as Kunlun, Qingcheng, and Emei. Later, when he heard the characters in the rivers and lakes who had fled into the cave narrating that the officers and soldiers had entered the valley and were fighting fiercely with the beggars, Liu Yong was shocked and wanted to lead the masters of various factions to fight out to respond. Mrs. Sha stopped him and asked Sha Zhongyu to take the tiger Ah Er out of the cave to intercept the officers and soldiers. At the beginning, Sha Zhongyu was worried that there were many heroes entering the cave, and he was worried that the tiger Ah Er would be alarmed and mad, and there would inevitably be casualties, so he hid it in a stone chamber. It's just that Sha Zhongyu has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he has long been quite interested in the affairs of the rivers and lakes. It's just that I've been in Shajiabao all the time, and I haven't had the opportunity to walk around the rivers and lakes. Since Murong Danyan broke into Shajiabao, he has fallen in love with Sha Zhongyu and told him about all kinds of strange things in the rivers and lakes, but Sha Zhongyu listened to it with relish, and even more wanted to wander in the rivers and lakes. When he saw a large number of martial arts characters entering the cave, including Huashan, Kunlun, Qingcheng, Emei, Songshan and other legendary famous and decent masters, he was ecstatic in his heart, and he was eager to try it out of the cave to help the heroes resist the enemy. At this time, Mrs. Sha ordered him to take Ah Er to help him, and he was in the middle of his arms, so he happily summoned Ah Er out. The group of heroes in the cave had never seen such a huge tiger, and they were so frightened that they all hid to the side, watching Sha Zhongyu take Ah Er out of the cave.

Mrs. Sha's calculation was very accurate, after Ah Er came out of the hole, just two roars, and the war horses of the officers and soldiers were scared to the point of urine, and the originally arrogant officers and soldiers were almost wiped out.

Liu Yong stayed in the cave, arranging for the gangs to prepare for defense, while worrying about Li Qiufeng and the others. When he saw Li Qiufeng retreat into the cave, his hanging heart was finally relaxed. After exchanging a few words with Li Qiufeng, he said to Deng Yao: "Gang Master Deng, the beggars helped the heroes to go to the disaster generously and saved the lives of all of us, please accept Liu's worship." ”

After he finished speaking, he clasped his hands into fists and bowed deeply to Deng Yao.

In the past hundred years, the beggar gang has been killed by the government, and the power is no longer the same as that year, if you talk about the status of the rivers and lakes, not to mention the top ten sects of martial arts, it is compared with some second-rate gangs in the rivers and lakes, but it is also quite inferior. The Huashan faction, which ranks among the top five gangs in the rivers and lakes, bows to the beggars, but this glory is unprecedented for the beggars for decades. Although Deng Yao was sad that his brothers in the gang had suffered heavy casualties, he was also a lot happier when he saw Liu Yong so polite, and he wanted to return the gift, but he saw that the heads of Kunlun, Emei, Qingcheng, Songshan and other major sects also gave gifts, and many heroes in the rivers and lakes thanked them loudly. He was excited, and said loudly: "Friends, our beggar gang is also a part of the rivers and lakes, and it is really within our duty to contribute to the martial arts, and you don't have to be like this!"

Liu Yong saw the commotion in the cave, and immediately said loudly: "Everyone be quiet, I have something to say!"

His words were sent by internal force, and they were clearly sent to everyone's ears. In a moment, there was silence in the cavern. Liu Yong looked around, and with a jump, he jumped onto a rock. I only heard him say loudly: "We have been dealing with the officers and soldiers for a day and a night, and everyone is not only extremely sleepy, but the temple is also empty when you want to come......

When he said this, many people patted their bellies and shouted: "Yes, yes, I have long been hungry!" Liu Yong smiled: "Fortunately, the master here has prepared food, but we have three or four thousand people pouring in at once, and this meal can't be prepared all at once." Just now, Liu has already discussed with the gang leaders and the head of the house, and allocated 200 brothers to help the master prepare meals for everyone. Everyone only needs to wait an hour or two before they can eat. ”

Before he could finish speaking, there was a cheer in the cave. Some rough men couldn't bear it for a long time, and even slapped their bellies with their hands. Liu Yong said with a smile: "Before the meal is ready, you should rest and rest, and when we are full of food and drink, we will think about killing it." ”

Since Qunhao evacuated Hutouyan with the Huashan faction, almost two days and one night have passed by this time, and he has long been extremely sleepy. Hearing Liu Yongyi's words, tiredness suddenly came up. It was Liu Yong's voice that fell, and the group of heroes sat down one after another, leaning on each other to rest, and after a while, there was already snoring in the cave, and the momentum was quite amazing.

Liu Yong jumped off the rock and walked towards Li Qiufeng. At this time, Deng Yao and Zhu Sanjia each leaned against the rock wall and fell asleep with their eyes closed. Murong Danyan went to talk to Mrs. Sha. It was Li Qiufeng who was left with Xiao Zhanpeng alone, and the two were talking about their experiences after separation. Seeing Liu Yong coming over, Li Qiufeng said: "Mr. Liu, you have been running around for a few days, so let's rest first." ”

Liu Yong pulled Li Qiufeng to the cave wall, found a no-man's place and sat down, and then said to Li Qiufeng: "Brother Li, I don't know something, and I want to ask Li Gongzi for advice." ”

Li Qiufeng said: "Mr. Liu is polite, if there is anything you can say, there is nothing to ask for advice." ”

Liu Yong said: "What has happened these days, it's too strange to think about it. From the Gu family's old shop besieging the Five Tiger Villa, Yu Changchang and others, to the underground distress of the imperial tomb, all the way to the Battle of Yong'an City, and now to Hutouyan Shajiabao, Liu wanted to break his head, but he didn't understand what was going on. Brother Li, although you and I have not known each other for more than a month, Liu admires your martial arts knowledge very much, can you give Liu some pointers to solve the doubts in Liu's chest?"

Li Qiufeng smiled bitterly and said, "It's not a secret, at this point, even I don't know what's going on now!"
