The three of them went to a clean place in the woods by the roadside and sat down, and each of them crossed his knees and exercised, closing his eyes and resting his mind. Until dawn, I could hear the sound of horses' hooves, shouting, and laughter on the road, and a large number of people from the rivers and lakes rushed here.

The three of them stood up and cleaned up. Xiao Zhanpeng said: "If it is really Miss Murong who challenges Sha Yiming, and when she sees the heroes of the rivers and lakes later, Brother Li might as well show his true face." Miss Murong knew that Brother Li had arrived, and she would show up to meet her. When the time comes, we'll anoint the soles of our feet, and the matter will be over. ”

Li Qiufeng said: "If this is really the case, then it is the best." It's just that if Shajiabao is related to the Liusheng family, I'm afraid this matter will not be so simple. ”

Zhuyue sneered and said, "You have so many scruples. If it is according to my opinion, we will simply poison the water in Shajiabao......"

Li Qiufeng and Xiao Zhanpeng were both startled. Li Qiufeng said: "Right now, if there is no distinction between friend and foe, how can you indiscriminately poison and kill people?"

Zhu Yue said: "How can there be any friend or foe that is not distinguished? If Shajiabao and the Yanagi family collude, let's get rid of them, we are cutting off the wings of Yanagi Zongyan. Even if Shajiabao and the Yanagi family did not collude, now they are the enemies of your little girl's friend, we will kill all the people in the fort, and then no one will respond, and your little friend will become famous in one fell swoop, and I am grateful to you. By that time, you're not a warm nephrite, hug your arms?"

Li Qiufeng and Xiao Zhanpeng were dumbfounded when they heard this, and couldn't help but glance at each other and shook their heads at the same time.

At this moment, I suddenly heard someone on the road laughing: "Master Xu, goodbye to Yong'an, a few days, I didn't expect to meet here again!"

Then I heard one person say, "Yes, yes." was going to rush back to Shuzhong, but as soon as he walked to Baoding, he heard about this big event. When the people in the martial arts heard the news, how could they sit idly by? So they hurried back. The gang leaders are also going to Shajiabao?"

The gang leader said, "Exactly." We didn't go far before we heard the news from our friends from Yuliu Town. Thinking that since Shajiabao destroyed the Yan family in Jiangxi, no one dared to provoke it in the rivers and lakes, and now there are people openly challenging it, which is even more rampant than Yan Wuji back then, how can you not come?"

Xiao Zhanpeng frowned and said, "This voice is so familiar, it seems that I have heard it somewhere......"

Li Qiufeng said in a deep voice: "I know this. That Xu head is Xu Chenghe, the head of the Qingcheng faction. As for this gang leader, he has no impression. ”

Zhuyue "snorted" and said: "These guys who don't know whether they are alive or dead have just escaped from Yong'an City, but they came here to die. ”

Li Qiufeng was stunned and said, "They are just here to see the excitement, how can they say that they are here to die?"

Zhuyue sneered and said: "You said that Shajiabao is an extremely difficult sect to provoke in the rivers and lakes, and they never interact with the various factions in the rivers and lakes, they have their own purposes. Your little friend comes to challenge, if the castle master of Shajiabao openly fights, no matter whether he wins or loses, in fact, Shajiabao has already lost. Therefore, even if the castle lord came forward to fight the little girl, as long as he showed up, it would be difficult for these guys who came to see the excitement to leave alive. If Shajiabao and the Liusheng family exchange songs, then these guys who ruined the Yanagi Zongyan in Yong'an City, do you think they can still escape?"

Li Qiufeng's heart sank, he only thought about saving Murong Danyan, but he never thought about these things. Moon by month, he came to his senses and cursed himself for being damned. Since that day, when Zhuang Hengyun mentioned that Murong Danyan went to Hutou Rock, he was bent on how to save Murong Danyan from danger. And yesterday, Ma Dongqing speculated that it was Murong Danyan who challenged Sha Yiming, and he was even more anxious in his heart, and he didn't even calculate this matter carefully. At this time, her mind was empty, and she secretly thought in her heart: "Although Murong girl is stubborn, she is not an unreasonable person, how could she so rashly challenge such a big gang in the martial arts? Otherwise, if she was defeated by Sha Yiming, it would not be her victory or disgrace alone, but the status and prestige of Murong Villa in the rivers and lakes. No matter how careless Murong Danyan is, he always understands this truth. ”

Xiao Zhanpeng saw that Li Qiufeng was silent, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Li, is there anything wrong?"

Li Qiufeng's face was heavy, and he said to Xiao Zhanpeng: "I'm afraid that we are all ...... big fools."

Xiao Zhanpeng was shocked: "What does Brother Li mean by this?"

Li Qiufeng sighed and said: "We only thought that it was Miss Murong who challenged Shajiabao, but we didn't think about it carefully, although Miss Murong was impatient and didn't have much experience in the rivers and lakes, she was not an unreasonable person. Shajiabao's reputation north of the Yangtze River is not much lower than that of Murong Villa, if Murong Girl challenges Sha Yiming, it is Murong Villa's declaration of war on Shajiabao, which is related to the prestige and status of the two major forces in the martial arts. Brother Xiao, think about it carefully, no matter how reckless Miss Murong is, can she do such a thing?"

Xiao Zhanpeng thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, Miss Murong won't do this." ”

Li Qiufeng said: "The crux of the matter is here. If it weren't for the reminder of the month-by-month girl, I wouldn't have understood. The person who planned this must have been unwilling for Qunhao to escape from Yong'an City, so he thought of a way to create a trap and deceive Qunhao again. Brother Xiao might as well think about it, the matter of the imperial tomb is that someone used heavy treasures as bait to deceive the heroes of the rivers and lakes to come in a big way. As the saying goes, 'heavy treasures confuse people's hearts', and the people in the rivers and lakes were really fooled, but in the end, everyone still rushed out of the imperial tomb. When the man couldn't figure it out, he thought of another idea. Those who learn martial arts will naturally not miss the duel of masters, and Shajiabao is the most mysterious sect in the rivers and lakes. If you hear that someone is openly challenging the lord of Shajiabao Fort, the people in the rivers and lakes have to go there. In this way, not only will the heroes who escaped from Yong'an City gather again, but also other martial arts masters who have not gone to the imperial tomb. ”

Xiao Zhanpeng said: "That's right." Otherwise, why would they make a big deal about the person who challenged Shajiabao? Since the Yanjia family in Jiangxi was destroyed by Shajiabao, people in the rivers and lakes have been afraid to mention Shajiabao and Sha Yiming, and even if someone really challenges Sha Yiming, they have a lot of scruples, so how can they publicize it everywhere like this?"

Seeing that Li Qiufeng and Xiao Zhanpeng believed their words, they suddenly became proud, and said to Li Qiufeng: "How about it, I can also be regarded as a person who wakes up in a dream?!"

Li Qiufeng said: "In fact, whether it is in the Imperial Mausoleum or in Yong'an City, it is not just one person who controls the heroes, nor is it just a force. The bigwigs in the imperial court, Jinyiwei and Dongchang, as well as careerists such as Yanagi Zongyan, all wanted to use the Imperial Tomb, Yong'an City and Qunhao as chess pieces to attack and defend each other. Yong'an City did not fall in the end, not because we fought well, but because the forces of all parties finally compromised. At present, although the reinforcements of Xuanfu and Datong have approached Yong'an City, they have only sent 3,000 forward troops, and the soldiers and horses of the headquarters are still stationed between the capital and Yong'an. The soldiers and horses of Shanhaiguan are in the south of Yong'an City, and they can advance or retreat. Sang Liangtian's army originally came from the two towns of Xuan and Da, and exchanged voices with the reinforcements from these two towns. Now that the armies of the towns are evenly balanced, the balance cannot be broken. If you want to make another move, you have to set up another trick......"

Xiao Zhanpeng said in a trembling voice: "What Brother Li means is that now that the army is pressing, those who want to do their hands and feet can no longer use the official army to achieve his goals. Then you want to use the heroes of the rivers and lakes to work for him?"

Li Qiufeng said: "Exactly." Thinking that their conditions have not yet been negotiated, since the soldiers and horses of various departments are now holding each other back, they will surprise another army and deceive the group of heroes. It's just that what their plan is still unimagined. ”

Zhuyue sneered: "If this trap is set by Yanagi Zongyan, the purpose is nothing more than two. The first is to eliminate the forces of all factions in the rivers and lakes, so as not to get in the way of his plan to seize the Ming Dynasty. Then it is to avenge the defeat of the Emperor's Mausoleum and Yong'an City, and vent your anger with these Jianghu men. I have been by his side for nearly 20 years, and I know Yagyu Soiwa's temperament best. Twelve years ago, he planned carefully and annihilated all the masters of dozens of gangs in the Central Plains martial arts in one fell swoop, and he was really complacent. It's just that in this battle between the Imperial Tomb and Yong'an City, he was hit hard. The Yanagi clan's killers suffered many casualties, and his plan was completely frustrated, and this anger was bound to explode. Although you took the group of heroes away from Yong'an City, Liu Sheng Zongyan was willing to let them go, so he thought of a way to deceive them back. But these people are confused, and it's not a pity to die!"
