Fengmou in troubled times

In the blink of an eye, it has entered April, and the grass grows in the capital, and the flowers bloom like brocades, creating a scene full of spring.Carrying a double-layered food box painted with gold, Mo Xi climbed along the mountain road for a long time, and finally found Feng Yinran's figure in the peach forest near the top of the mountain.

Among the charming and colorful peach groves, Feng Yinran, dressed in elegant green clothes, was leaning on a wicker chair placed under the tree, intently flipping through several volumes of manuscripts.The sunlight poured down from the gaps of the petals and branches, and fell on his hair, as if it had coated his delicate and beautiful face with a faint brilliance, making it more difficult for people to look away.Mo Xi was staring at his young master in a daze, but saw the young man under the tree looking up towards this side as if looking up, his eyes as bright as pearls and as bright as water jade saw clearly that it was his moment when the snow melted away. Shi, greeted with a smile: "Moxi, you are here."

It has been more than a month since the two brothers were rescued by Feng Yinran and Shao Suyun and escaped from the Yanyu Tower. Among them, the gentle and well-behaved elder brother Mo Xi stayed by Feng Yinran's side, and the cheerful and smiling younger brother Qin Xi followed Shao Surong to the Ice and Snow Valley of Shaohua far in northern Xinjiang.Although he had to be separated from his younger brother for a long time, Mo Xi didn't feel sad. Because of his good looks and the best temper, everyone in Feng's residence, from the housekeeper to the cook, cared for him and loved him.At this time, Mo Xi was wearing a new dress sewn by Feng Yao himself, with a moon-white ribbon on her head, and her red lips and white teeth were a little more delicate than that little girl Xue Fu.He quickly took out all kinds of exquisite snacks from the food box and placed them on the table under the tree. Mo Xi, who was carrying heavy objects along the way, blushed, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said half-jokingly and half-complainingly: "Master Just hide in this good place and read a book for a while, but Mo Xi is easy to find."

Picking a piece of pastry and stuffing it into Mo Xi's mouth, Feng Yinran watched him dazedly with the pastry in his mouth in amused manner, picked up a pen and wrote a few lines of small characters beside the file in his hand, and only took a sip of tea Then he got busy again.After sending away Ah Hong and Liu Yin, he took over Ling Yan's position as the head of the Xingxing Pavilion as agreed. In the past month, he had to familiarize himself with the operation mode and division of labor of the largest intelligence agency in the Xingxing Pavilion. I have to slowly read through the summaries of important events of past dynasties piled up in the Langhuan Zhai in the pavilion. Feng Yinran is so busy that she can't wait to split herself in two.At this moment, he seems to be stealing half a day's leisure in this long peach forest, but in fact he just dislikes the four protectors and 28-star envoys in the Star Pavilion. Because he couldn't help mentioning some modern management methods to them a few days ago So he always tried to pester him to get more good ideas out of his mouth, and then asked people to move the table and chairs to the peach forest on the mountain outside the city, so that they could continue to study the old classics quietly.

Seeing the young master working hard with no distractions, Mo Xi smiled and refilled the ink with a smile, stacked up the scattered dossiers by category, and entertained himself by flipping through the drafts of essays that Feng Yinran had thrown aside.After being by Feng Yinran's side for a long time, Mo Xi gradually understood the young master's cold temperament on the outside and hot on the inside, and knew that as long as he had a temper with him, the young master would treat him as "one of his own" without hesitation. Blindly protect the short.Although I don't know where I got the young master's favor, although Mo Xi is young, he also understands that the young master often handles many important matters in the Xingxing Pavilion in front of him, and he treats himself more than his personal servants Feng Yao and Xue Fu. A little more trust and attention, so Mo Xi is extra careful in private, only hoping that he can become the young master's help instead of a burden as soon as possible.

Holding the compiled file and studying hard for a long time, Mo Xi was fascinated by it when he suddenly felt that the young master sat up straight on the recliner, put down the ink pen in his hand, poured another cup of tea, and threw it in the direction of the Taolin. He raised his voice and said, "Since you've come here, please don't dislike my cup of tea here."

Mo Xi looked blankly, but saw a purple-clothed young man coming from the forest with flowers and leaves fluttering, holding the cup of hot tea thrown by Feng Yinran between his white and slender fingers, Shi Shiran stood in front of them, faintly Said: "I didn't expect that the new pavilion master of the Xingxing Pavilion is indeed a special person. Duan Ziyi, who is in the lower palace, is fortunate to be taught today."

As the warm wind blew past, the scorching peach petals flying lightly and swaying all over the sky, blurred the eyes of the two people looking at each other, adding a bit of softness like water.Looking carefully at the purple-clothed youth in front of her, Feng Yinran suddenly thought she saw Liu Yin when she was a teenager, she was just as clear and beautiful, but she was more naturally evil and enchanting.Those purple eyes, which are different from ordinary people, are astonishingly beautiful and pure, like the most precious purple crystals, they can look into the bottom of people's hearts, with a bit of mocking transparency.Slightly raising his eyes, there is a trace of seductive and deep-seated evil spirit, which is worthy of a sentence of peach blossoms reflecting each other.

Feng Yinran tilted his head and thought for a while, but the name Duan Ziyi was no stranger to him. A few days ago, when he was looking at the introduction about the Qixi Palace in Langhuanzhai, he had seen a record about Duan Ziyi.It is said that this young man who only turned twelve this year was probably abandoned by his biological parents because of those strange eyes. He was adopted by Ning Xilou when he was still in his infancy, and he was brought up by himself. In the future, he will definitely assist Shaosu He is the best candidate to take over as the deputy palace lord of Bixiu Palace, but the file also records the fact that Ning Xilou did not treat him close.Originally, Feng Yinran still had some doubts about this special boy whose background could not even be verified by Qianxing Pavilion, but at this moment when he saw him with his own eyes, he let down his guard for a moment.After experiencing the abandonment of her biological parents, being regarded as a monster by the people around her and not being loved by her master who adopted her, Duan Ziyi, who also had an orphan background, made Feng Yinran, who had been coldly looked down upon by the people around her in her previous life, feel a little empathy. How could such a beautiful woman, who is as bright as autumn water and as charming as a demon, be treated so unfairly.

"Duan Ziyi, Ziyi..." Gently repeating his name, Feng Yinran raised her lips and smiled, got up and walked over to hold Duan Ziyi's hand, and pulled him to the soft chair in front of the small table while he was dazed. Sit down, "Come and taste the dim sum made by Feng Yao himself?"

Seeing his young master's expression like this, the sensible Mo Xi knew that the boy in purple clothes and purple eyes must be right for the young master's temper, and had been unknowingly appointed by his young master as a friend, so he quickly took out a spare from the lower level of the food box Put the bowl and chopsticks on Duan Ziyi's place.Involuntarily stuffing the chopsticks into Duan Ziyi's hand, Feng Yinran saw that he was still in a daze, and couldn't help but smile: "Why? Doesn't Ziyi like these pastries?"

The childish and innocent smiling face approached in front of her, and it seemed that the coolness of the boy still remained on the hand held by him. Duan Ziyi's heart felt hot, and it was the first time in her life that she showed a smile in front of a near-stranger , "No, I like it very much." The elegant and bright pupils are as noble and delicate as purple crystals with brilliance flowing, and there is a bit of shocking monster, which makes people feel stunned.

"Ziyi, you are so beautiful when you smile..." Seeing that Duan Ziyi's face blushed suddenly, and Mo Xi also covered her mouth and snickered, Feng Yinran realized that she was too abrupt, hesitated for a moment, and finally laughed with the two of them .Temporarily forgetting the pile of books and chatting with Duan Ziyi, who also forgot his original intention, Mo Xi asked some interesting questions from time to time, making the three of them very relaxed.All of a sudden, the peach forest kept laughing and talking, and it seemed that it really became a fairyland isolated from the world...

……Dividing line……

In the past few days, there have been a lot of martial arts fighters armed with weapons coming and going in the capital city, which makes the inns, restaurants and teahouses in the capital city extremely lively.The people with good deeds inquired after many times, only to find out that Gu Liuming, the owner of the Gu family's mansion in the city, is actually the leader of the well-known martial arts alliance in the martial arts, whose mission is to eradicate the strong and help the weak, and to uphold righteousness.And the martial arts conference held once every ten years will be held in the villa on the outskirts of Gu's city in a few days, which attracts a large number of people from all corners of the country to come here. All schools and factions want to take this opportunity to ask the martial arts leader for advice, so that Fight to Fame has since become famous all over the world.

At this time, the Gujia Mountain Villa on the outskirts of the capital city was full of people. The children of the famous families in the rivers and lakes all held invitations to stay in the villa to watch the three-day martial arts tournament, and other unnamed martial arts knights flocked to the villa. Gu's Villa was surrounded by water.The first two days of martial arts competitions were all fighting between stragglers and small gangs, or some martial arts families fighting each other, but this third day was the finale of the nine sects taking turns challenging Gu Liuming, the leader of the martial arts alliance.It is said that according to the rules set by the Wulin League when it was founded, all those who sit on the position of the leader of the Wulin League must not only be able to convince the public, but also have good martial arts skills. That's why there are martial arts conferences held every ten years. this high.

On the tall building next to the martial arts arena in Gu's Villa, Feng Yinran and Duan Ziyi standing leaning on a railing, compared with the people in the rivers and lakes downstairs rubbing shoulders and rubbing against each other in disheveled clothes, they are more ethereal and elegant.They were in a position where they could overlook the entire venue, and they were also relaxed and relaxed. Even the heads of the nine sects did not have the honor to be seated.However, Feng Yinran, who is in the blessing, does not have this awareness, and her interest in the masters downstairs who are cheering and shouting one after another is not one-thousandth of that in the beauty around her.

"Which of the challengers sent by the nine sects is not a first-class martial arts master, it is really shameless to go up to fight President Gu like this." Annoyed by the crowd downstairs, Feng Yinran in plain clothes His tone was also exceptionally cold, and there was an awe-inspiring look in his bright eyes.After his Xingxing Pavilion was taken over by Yin Fengyue 300 years ago, it is not affiliated with any faction of martial arts, just like the latter, and has become a tripartite rivalry with the Wulin League and the Demon Sect.However, Gu Liuming, the leader of this generation of martial arts alliance, is not a so-called honest gentleman who is so rigid and mean. Feng Yinran, the new head of the Qianxing Pavilion, came here for a cutscene, which was a bit of a treat for Gu Liuming.

Overlooking Gu Liuming, the leader of the martial arts alliance who defeated several masters one after another in the arena downstairs, Duan Ziyi also felt that this leader of the martial arts alliance, who was neither humble nor overbearing in his gestures and gestures, was better than those major masters who hid their knives in their smiles. She is a lot more friendly, and she is partial to the Gu family in her words like Feng Yinran. "Master said that League Leader Gu's Broken Jade Knife is naturally domineering and loves the world at the same time. It is incomparable to the nine sects with such a generous heart." Seeing Gu Liuming's relaxed and confident smile all the time, Duan Ziyi knew that he should deal with it. These challengers are really capable, so they no longer care about the battle situation. They turned their heads to look at Feng Yinran and said with a smile: "Is this on your wrist the Nine Fields Picking Stars Ring that symbolizes the Lord of the Pavilion of Dispatch of Stars?"

He took off the bead string and handed it to Duan Ziyi indifferently, Feng Yinran didn't care much about this sacred object that everyone in the pavilion regarded as a treasure.The Nine Fields Picking Star Ring is a clear bead polished by nine kinds of gemstones of different materials: black jade, white jade, jasper, topaz, tourmaline, opal, sapphire, ruby ​​and amethyst. The pearls are connected in series, and the nine spirit beads correspond to the Central Juntian, Eastern Cangtian, Northeast Biantian, Northern Xuantian, Northwest Youtian, Western Haotian, Southwest Zhutian, Southern Yantian and Southeast Yangtian, but they are stored differently. The only key to the Nine Fields Treasure Pavilion of materials, classics, treasures, antiques, and rare weapons.Legend has it that there are shocking secrets that can shake the world, but because of the age, this anecdote has disappeared and can only be regarded as a legend for self-entertainment.Seeing Yin Ran casually stuffing such an important token in front of her eyes, even Duan Ziyi, who had gradually gotten used to Yin Ran's temper, couldn't help being stunned for a moment, her eyes became softer and she said: "This token doesn't even matter to me." Everyone knows that there are many people who want to come to Jianghu and know how to miss it. You show it so ostentatiously in front of others, and you don't even have the slightest bit of taboo."

Knowing that Ziyi was worried that her ostentatiousness would lead to covetous murder, Feng Yinran showed a knowing smile, with a bit of casualness in her eyes.Recently, his demeanor has indeed been reckless and high-profile, making the world, which is already not peaceful because of the martial arts conference, extremely lively. The intelligence agencies will be more disdainful than surprised.Therefore, his deliberate momentum and several thunderous tactics made the enemies who were secretly eyeing Qianxing Pavilion confused for a while, and dared not act rashly.

"Brother Ziyi! Brother Yin Ran!"

The two were chatting about what happened recently, when they suddenly heard a crisp voice on the stairs, and in a blink of an eye a cute little doll rushed up, it was Gu Qinghan, the son of the leader of the martial arts alliance and the young master of the Gu family.Because Ning Xilou and Gu Liuming had some friendship in private, and Gu Lianwan, Gu Liuming's younger sister, made an exception and accepted Duan Ziyi as a disciple. I have lived through this so-called little junior brother.Speaking of which, Qinghan is only a month younger than him, but he honestly calls him brother, he is cute, innocent and simple, not at all like his "false gentleman" who has lived an extra life.

Duan Ziyi let the bouncing Xiao Qinghan bump into his arms, and did not resist his closeness. "Why did you come here? Where is Master Lian Wan?"

"Auntie and Niangqin are still busy entertaining guests below, they are afraid that I will make trouble, so they sent me up to find you." Pouted unwillingly, Xiao Qinghan seemed to be extremely dissatisfied with the adults' evaluation of him, "Brother Yin Ran is only one month older than me, but my mother and aunt all praise him when they mention him. Could it be that Qing Han is not good enough?"

He took out the candy in his sleeve and stuffed it for Xiao Qinghan. Listening to his pretending to be serious, Feng Yinran shook his head in amazement. How could Qinghan, a real kid, come here through time travel like this? Compared with the wandering soul. "Are you blaming Brother Yin Ran for causing you trouble?"

Hastily shaking his head vigorously, the cute little Qinghan sipped the candy, his big eyes were innocent and innocent, "Brother Yin Ran and Brother Ziyi are the best to Qing Han, Qing Han likes these two senior brothers the most, how could he blame Yin Ran Where's brother?"

She has no ability to resist this kind of cute kid, Feng Yinran, who was immediately defeated, took Xiao Qinghan's hand with a smile on her face, turned her head and pulled Duan Ziyi up, not bothering about the battle going on downstairs. In the martial arts competition, taking advantage of the time when everyone's attention was on the arena, they sneaked out of Gu's Villa and went back to the city for a stroll.
