Chapter 42
Li Qiufeng saw the beggar's frightened face and dared not lie after thinking about it, so he immediately said: "Where are these dog thieves hiding now?"
The beggar said: "I heard that the Taishan sect entered Yong'an City yesterday and now lives in the west of the city. The Hengshan sect arrived this morning with the guidance of our beggar gang and lived in Tianyi Pawn Shop in the south of the city. Our beggar gang also arrived last night.
When I arrived, several elders lived in the Chenghuang Temple in the east of the city. I heard that the north of the city is the territory of the Kunlun Sect, but the masters of the Kunlun Sect are very mysterious and have no information about us. However, Elder Guan of our Beggar Clan has passed down the message,
Disciples of the Beggar Clan are not allowed to enter the north of the city to avoid conflict with the Kunlun Sect."
Li Qiufeng asked a few more questions. The beggar was just an ordinary disciple in the Beggar Clan, with a very low status. He didn't know many things. When Li Qiufeng couldn't find anything out, he kicked him with a "bang"
He kicked him out, turned around and walked away.
Li Qiufeng was anxious and ran straight to the Gu family's old store. After walking for more than half a mile, he suddenly saw a person standing dozens of steps away.
Li Qiufeng slowly stopped, slowly untied the cloth bag, and took out the long knife with sheath.
The man still had his back to Li Qiufeng. He was dressed in black gauze clothes and a black gauze hat, with his left hand behind his back and his right hand holding a long sword.
At this time, there were only two of them on the long street, and everything in the world was in a state of silence.
Li Qiufeng took a step forward. This step was extremely slow, but when he raised his foot, he left a deep footprint on the ground.
The man still didn't move. Although the wind blew the weeds on the roadside to and fro, the clothes of the man in black did not move at all. The two long gauze ribbons behind the gauze hat hung motionless on his back as if they were filled with lead.
Li Qiufeng knew that this man's internal energy was concentrated in his whole body at this moment, and he was preparing to attack. Once this sword was struck, it would definitely be a shocking killing move.
But Li Qiufeng had no way to retreat. Although he did not look back, he already realized that his way back had been cut off.
Li Qiufeng approached the man in black step by step. When he was ten steps away from the man in black, he slowly stopped.
The man in black remained motionless, and Li Qiufeng said in a deep voice: "Which senior of the Huashan sect are you?"
"Liu Yong." The man said in a deep voice.
Li Qiufeng was horrified and said: "The Star Reaching Swordsman?!"
"I don't dare." Liu Yong said slowly.
The Huashan Sect is one of the most famous sects in the world. The Huashan Swordsmanship is unique in the world, and its reputation is no longer inferior to that of the Wudang Sect. Liu Yong, the "Star Swordsman", is a great master in the Central Plains. In the past, he killed seven swordsmen with one sword.
Therefore, he got the title of "Swordsman Reaching for the Stars". It is said that his martial arts skills are no longer inferior to Qiu Ji, the head of the Huashan Sect.
Li Qiufeng said: "You are a senior figure in the world, why bother to wade in such troubled waters in this small Yong'an city and lower your status in vain?"
Liu Yong slowly turned around and saw that the famous "Swordsman Reaching for the Stars" was about forty years old. He had a fair complexion and a short beard under his chin. He looked like a well-educated scholar. If he hadn't been holding a long sword in his hand, it would have been difficult.
I believe he is actually a martial arts master.
"Are you Zhu Ming or Zhou Jingtian?" Liu Yong asked, then shook his head and said: "You are not any of them, because they are not as young as you."
Li Qiufeng said: "I, Li Qiufeng, have met Senior Liu."
Liu Yong said: "Li Qiufeng? You are using a false name."
Li Qiufeng said: "A man doesn't change his name in business and his surname in office, so why use a fake name to deceive people?"
Liu Yong frowned and said: "I have never heard of any young hero named Li Qiufeng in the world. But your martial arts are amazing."
Li Qiufeng said: "I don't dare. In front of Senior Liu, how dare I, the junior, be rude?"
Liu Yong said: "Are you a disciple of Yu Changyuan and his gang?"
Li Qiufeng shook his head and said: "No. Li just went to do something with Yu Daxia and others, and has no deep friendship with them."
Liu Yong said: "I want to know what you are going to do?"
Li Qiufeng said: "I want to know what the Huashan sent to Yong'an City?"
Liu Yong said: "I came here just to know where Wuhu Villa is going and what to do?"
Li Qiufeng said: "Now that so many Jianghu gangs have gathered in Yong'an City, what they want to know is no different from Senior Liu. Although the Huashan Sect's martial arts are high, if I reveal the news to Senior Liu, these gangs will inevitably become the same as Senior Liu."
It’s difficult. If the five Taishan elders join forces to fight against Senior Liu, I’m afraid that no matter how high your martial arts skills are, senior Liu will not be able to resist.”
Liu Yong said: "So, it's for my own good if you don't tell me the truth?"
Li Qiufeng shook his head and said: "It's not only for the good of seniors, but also for my own good."
Liu Yong nodded and said: "I didn't expect that after three years of seclusion, a number one figure like you would appear in the world. You are really formidable. It's just that the future is difficult and dangerous. I hope you can turn the crisis into good."
Li Qiufeng said: "Thank you, senior, for your advice." After saying that, he raised his feet and left.
When the two passed by, Liu Yong asked: "Which teacher are you a disciple of?"
Li Qiufeng kept walking and said as he walked: "My master doesn't allow me to say his name. Please forgive me, senior."
Liu Yong said: "When this matter is settled, I would like to learn a few tricks with you. I wonder if I will reward you?"
Li Qiufeng said: "But according to the instructions of the seniors, I will follow them no matter what happens next."
Liu Yong nodded and said: "I won't stop you today because I am not sure of defeating you."
Li Qiufeng had already walked more than ten steps away. Hearing what Liu Yong said, a smile appeared on his face and he said, "I'm not sure I can beat my senior."
After Li Qiufeng hurried back to his old store, he immediately told Yu Yuanyuan all the news he saw and heard in Yong'an City, except that he skipped the part about rescuing Murong Danyan. He heard that a large number of people from the Jianghu had poured into Yong'an.
In the city, everyone was shocked. Yu Changyuan said: "The Taishan sect is running rampant in Shandong. Although it is a well-known and decent sect, it has done a lot of business without its own line in recent years. It is not surprising that they would do such a thing.
It’s just that the reputations of the Huashan and Kunlun sects have always been good, so why are they rushing into this troubled waters?
Yan Dufei said: "I think someone deliberately spread the news and let these martial arts masters rush to Yong'an City. He likes to fish in troubled waters and take chestnuts from the fire. This person's ambition is really not small."
Yu Changyuan took a few steps in the room and said: "Now the enemy is attacking in large numbers, we must think of a way to escape early."
At this moment, a man from the village outside the door said, "Second Village Master, you are finally back. The First Village Master and the others have been waiting impatiently."
When Yu Changyuan heard that Zhuang Hengyun had rushed back, he was overjoyed and hurriedly walked to the door to greet him. He saw Zhuang Hengyun jumping off his horse, with three horses behind him, and the three knights on the horse also got off their horses.
Zhuang Hengyun said to Yu Changyuan: "Brother, I'm back in a hurry."
Yu Changyuan said: "Everyone, please sit in the room quickly." He raised his eyes and looked at the three people behind Zhuang Hengyun. He saw that these three people were all in their thirties, walking like a tiger, very strong, and their martial arts were obviously not good.
weak.
When everyone returned to the house, Zhuang Hengyun said: "After I arrived at Tianmen, I met with Mr. Tang, the bodyguard. After reading the elder brother's autographed letter, the old bodyguard immediately summoned people to come and help him."
As soon as he said this, whispers suddenly occurred in the hall. Everyone in Wuhu Villa looked happy. Zhuang Hengyun continued: "The old escort leader was afraid that my elder brother would be impatient, so he sent three friends from the Xingyuan Escort Agency to come first.
The escort will arrive shortly."
Yu Changyuan felt happy in his heart. He cupped his fists at the three escorts from Xingyuan Escort Agency and said, "Thank you three friends for coming to help. I haven't asked the names of the three Gao surnames yet?"
The leading man bowed in return and said: "Junior Tang Wanxiang, I would like to pay my respects to Master Yu."
When Yu Changyuan heard that this person's surname was Tang, he was slightly startled and said: "Old bodyguard Tang is your Excellency's..."
Seeing Yu Changyuan's doubts, the man hurriedly said: "Old escort chief Tang is my father."
Yu Xianyuan laughed and said, "I didn't expect that after so many years, Tang Xian's nephew has already reached his thirties." After saying this, he patted Tang Wanxiang's shoulder lightly a few times with a very affectionate expression.
Zhuang Hengyun introduced the other two bodyguards to Yu Changyuan. After everyone sat down respectively, Zhuang Hengyun said, "Why don't you see the fifth brother?"
Yu Changyuan's face darkened and he said: "Lao Wu was plotted by a dog thief. Unfortunately..."
Zhuang Hengyun was shocked and said: "Who did this murder?"
Zhu Ming said on the side: "It was done by the Taishan sect. Presumably the five elders of Taishan have arrived in Yong'an City by now."
Zhuang Hengyun murmured: "If all five elders from Taishan arrive, I'm afraid..."
Yan Dufei said: "Brother Zhuang, you entered the city from the north gate just now. Were you not intercepted by the enemy along the way?"
Zhuang Hengyun shook his head and said: "My eldest brother told me not to get entangled with the enemy, so as soon as I took Brother Tang and others into the city, I rushed quickly. Maybe the enemy didn't have time to intercept."
Yu Changyuan briefly told what happened today. When Zhuang Hengyun heard that the masters of the Huashan Sect had also arrived in Yong'an City, he couldn't help but feel shuddered and said: "Brother, I'm afraid there is something wrong with this matter."
