Chapter 72

Yan Dufei said: "This matter is becoming more and more suspicious. Xu Yingyang promised Yu Changyuan to do this deal together. It is not very credible in the first place. Now even the defenders of the imperial mausoleum are leaving. Is God helping us behind the scenes?

?”

Yan Dufei shook his head as he spoke, glanced at Li Qiufeng and said: "If something goes wrong, it must be a monster. I feel like someone is digging a big trap for us. Otherwise, how can such a good thing happen? When we get here, the defenders actually want to

Making trouble?"

Li Qiufeng said: "Brother Yan is not in the imperial court and does not know about these turbulent events. Since Jin Shang came to the throne, the border troops have frequently made rebellions. Especially the troops stationed in the two towns of Datong and Xuanfu, there have been at least three rebellions in the past few years.

This court has already killed a governor, two generals, and many deputy generals. Sang Liangtian was also stationed in Datong before, so it is not unusual for him to cause some trouble."

Yan Dufei said: "I haven't heard of this Yan. I just know that Datong and Xuanfu are important towns of the imperial court. If something happens, the capital will be in danger."

Li Qiufeng nodded and said in a heavy tone: "Since Jin Shang ascended the throne, the ministers in the court have been divided into two factions: the warring faction and the peace faction. They have been arguing all day long. The two sides of the imperial court are vacillating, and the bitter thing is guarding the border.

The frontier troops, especially in the two towns of Datong and Xuanfu. When the main war faction gained the upper hand, the troops in these two towns cowered in the city. They watched the Tatar soldiers burning, killing and looting outside the city and did not dare to fight. As a result, the main war faction took over.

When they had the upper hand, they said that these two towns were "fearing the enemy like a tiger and allowing them to plunder". Then the court issued an edict to reprimand the generals who commanded the army and dismissed them for investigation, and the officers had their salaries deducted. Of course, the succeeding generals were all from the main battle faction and would lead the troops after taking office.

He left the city and chased the Tatar soldiers everywhere. Those Tatars were all cavalry, coming and going like the wind. When they saw the Ming army starting to counterattack, they naturally fled far away and did not dare to fight with the imperial army.

After gaining the upper hand, they in turn attacked the main militant faction for "starting the war in vain and wasting money and food", and dismissed the generals in charge of the main militant faction from their posts. The officers also had their salaries deducted, and even the military pay was delayed. The soldiers started to make noises.

He then threatened the superior officers to rebel, and the chaos became even bigger."

Yan Dufei was dumbfounded when he heard this, and after a long while he said: "I didn't expect that the affairs of the imperial court could be so complicated and complicated. Now that I think about it, it would be better not to be an official."

Li Qiufeng smiled and said: "The world is much the same as the imperial court. It takes a lot of effort to get ahead. If you are not careful, your life may be in danger. So Li Moucai and Brother Yan did this business together, hoping to get a sum of money.

, I wish it would be enough for me to fly far away, avoid these worldly disputes, and be a carefree farmer."

The two were chatting, and when they were getting excited, they suddenly heard the sound of footsteps outside the door, and it seemed that several people were running towards them. The two were startled, not knowing what had happened, and hurriedly walked to the door and walked out of the door.

Peering out from between the cracks.

I saw four or five lamas running from the front hall and running straight to the two largest monk rooms on the right.

When we were just arranging accommodation for everyone, the two largest monk rooms were naturally assigned to Yu Changyuan and Xu Yingyang. The great lama stayed with Yu Changyuan and praised Yu Changyuan for his kindness and good fortune.

He was flattered by the great lama and donated another hundred taels of incense money. The great lama was naturally very grateful and stayed with Yu Chang in his room to talk, for fear of neglecting this wealthy guest.

I just heard those lamas running outside Yu Changyuan's house, knocking on the door and shouting: "Master presiding, trouble is coming!"

I heard a "squeak" sound, which I thought was the door of Yu Changyuan's room opened. Then I heard the angry voice of the great lama saying: "What are you making noise here? Even the Buddha will blame you for disturbing the rest of the distinguished guests!"

"

I heard a lama say in a trembling voice: "Three people came outside, two women and one man. One of them is the woman who visited us a few days ago. The man was seriously injured..."

"What, what are they doing here?" The great lama's voice also changed.

"The young woman said she was looking for a place for the man to rest. Just when the senior brother was about to decline, she kicked him far away. Now the senior brothers and sisters are all hiding, and the woman occupied the main hall and said that if the presiding master doesn't

When we went out to answer questions, she burned down our temple and taught us..."

At this point, the lama stopped talking. It was obvious that the rest of the words were definitely not good. It was likely that he would either "burn them all to death" or "die without a burial place."

At this time, I only heard Yu Changyuan say: "Okay, how can anyone dare to be so arrogant and unreasonable? Don't be afraid, great lama, my brothers are somewhat skilled in martial arts. Let's go to the front hall together and have a look. If there are crazy people making trouble, we are not afraid.

"

The great lama thanked him repeatedly, and only the sound of footsteps was heard, and a group of people walked towards the main hall.

Li Qiufeng whispered: "Let's go over and have a look."

The two of them walked out, only to see Yu Yuanyuan walking side by side with the great lama, followed by four or five lamas, but Xu Yingyang did not show up.

At this time, the door of the monk's room next to it also opened, and Zhuang Hengyun and He Yi also walked out. The four of them looked at each other, each nodded, and followed the lamas towards the main hall.

As soon as I stepped into the main hall, I could smell a very strong smell of blood. I saw a person lying in the middle of the main hall, and two people around him were running around anxiously. The big lama and Yu Changyuan stood aside, discussing something in a low voice.

When Li Qiufeng saw those three people, he couldn't help but be shocked. These three people were Murong Danyan, Ma Dongqing and Xiao Zhanpeng. He saw Xiao Zhanpeng lying on the ground, his chest clothes were in tatters, and blood was pouring out. Murong Danyan

He and Ma Dongqing hurriedly covered his wound with their hands, but still could not stop the bleeding. A long trail of blood behind the three of them continued intermittently outside the hall.

Li Qiufeng took a few steps in front of Xiao Zhanpeng and reached out to touch the five major points on his chest. He heard Xiao Zhanpeng groan, his eyes were closed tightly, and the muscles on his face were twitching, showing that he was in extreme pain. Murong Danyan could not see clearly.

Who is it? Seeing Li Qiufeng stab Xiao Zhanpeng several times, he thought he was going to hurt Xiao Zhanpeng, so he slapped him with his backhand. The two were very close to each other, and Li Qiufeng tried his best to save him, without any defense. He just heard "

With a "snap" sound, the palm hit Li Qiufeng's left cheek. The corner of his mouth bled immediately, and his cheek became swollen.

At this time, Xiao Zhanpeng had opened his eyes and said in a trembling voice: "He is saving me..." After saying this, he felt that his whole body was so weak that he could not even speak.

At this time, Murong Danyan also saw clearly that the person coming was Li Qiufeng. Seeing that the left side of his face was swollen and swollen due to the beating he had made, he was greatly panicked. He wanted to apologize but didn't know how to say it. He was in a state of embarrassment.

, then Li Qiufeng took out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket, poured some powder into his hand, and said to Xiao Zhanpeng: "If this powder is sprinkled on your wound, it will be very painful. You have to be patient."

Xiao Zhanpeng blinked slightly, indicating that he understood what Li Qiufeng meant. Li Qiufeng said to Murong Danyan: "Grab his hands and don't let him shake!"

Murong Danyan was worried about how to apologize to Li Qiufeng. When he saw that he ordered her to do something, it was exactly what she asked for. He hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold Xiao Zhanpeng's hands. Li Qiufeng lightly sprinkled the powder in his hand on the injury on Xiao Zhanpeng's chest.

When it touched the flesh and blood, it immediately made a "hissing" sound. Xiao Zhanpeng roared in pain and twisted his body. Fortunately, Murong Danyan was prepared, so he didn't break free.

Li Qiufeng sprinkled all the medicinal powder on Xiao Zhanpeng's wounds, and heard a constant "hissing" sound. Xiao Zhanpeng's body kept twisting, but his strength became weaker and weaker. Finally, it calmed down and the muscles on his face stopped twitching.

Looking at the wound on his chest, the blood had stopped. But his face was pale and he looked very scary.

Li Qiufeng turned to the big lama and said, "Master, does your temple have clean cloth?"

The big lama hurriedly called a lama and asked him to get the cloth. However, Ma Dongqing untied his clothes, and with a "hiss" sound, he tore off a large piece of the cloth and handed it to Li Qiufeng. Li Qiufeng used this

A piece of cloth wrapped the wound on Xiao Zhanpeng's chest, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "This sword wound was quite serious, but the person who used the sword seemed to have insufficient strength, or he didn't want to hurt him, so he didn't take it.

life."

Murong Danyan's eyes widened and he trembled to Li Qiufeng: "You, how do you know?"

Li Qiufeng said: "If this sword penetrates even half a minute, it will hurt the heart of Young Master Xiao. Even Daluo Jinxian will be unable to save him at that time. The opponent either lacks strength or is merciless. It just depends on the extent of Young Master Xiao's injuries.

, the other party doesn’t seem to be merciful. And judging from the wound, the opponent’s sword thrust from bottom to top. Either he used the sword with a backhand, or he is too short..."

Murong Danyan was surprised: "Did you see it? That person... that person is a child..."
