Fengmou in troubled times

After bidding farewell to his mother Fang Rou and leaving Demo Mansion, Fang Linyuan dismissed his subordinates who were secretly following nearby, and walked slowly along the dark streets.The summer night wind is mixed with a strong fragrance of flowers, which is lingering like the singing and dancing coming from the brothel of the dancing workshop all night long.

The soft moonlight shone on his black clothes embroidered with gold and silver threads, refracting into shimmering waves, making Fang Linyuan's robes flicking like an exile.He lowered his head slightly and stopped towards the shadowed alley, Fang Linyuan suddenly smiled and said slowly, "Since you're here, why hide?"

"Seventh brother is really good at hearing. It seems that I haven't seen you for a few years. Big brother and I are even worse than your kung fu."

Speaking of a man with a purple gold crown on his head and wearing a bright yellow gold silk five-dragon robe, he came out of the darkness. His facial features seemed to be somewhat similar to Fang Linyuan's, but they matched his face with a more sinister and vicious color. "Ever since you were sent to Rongshao Kingdom as a hostage, Brother Seven, it's been a long time since I have had a good time with you." Fang Tingwu, the eldest prince of Cangjue Kingdom, tried hard to act like a brotherly brother, but it was difficult. Concealing the false disdain in his expression, "It's been many years since I left, big brother, I really miss my seventh brother very much, it's not because of your father's orders, so I hurried over here, big brother, and I also took the opportunity to meet you. "

Fang Hua, the current emperor of the Cangjue Kingdom, is handsome and cold-hearted. All the beauties are crazy about him, and they fight to the death.And the framing between the mother and concubine has naturally been passed on to the princes and princesses. In addition, Fang Hua has not established the crown prince so far, which has caused the princes to fight endlessly in order to inherit the great rule safely in the future.The struggle of the princes and grandchildren to seize the heirloom is also supported by courtiers of various factions. This kind of endless internal strife naturally explains why the Cangjue Kingdom is always subject to the surrounding powerful countries and relies on marriage. And send protons to please the decline of these powerful countries.

Looking at this elder brother who was not close to him in his own country back then, even Fang Linyuan, who is very self-cultivated, didn't bother to flirt with him. I came to Rongshao after traveling thousands of miles, and brought with me some will from my father."

Fang Tingwu didn't care about Fang Linyuan's indifference, and Fang Tingwu frowned, moving his hands and feet casually and laughing: "Seventh brother, you also know that apart from the Demon Sect that you are in charge of, there are other secret guards in charge of the Emperor Father." Inquire about the news from various countries, otherwise how could the surrounding powers who have been coveting for so many years dare not fight us decisively." He said as if he wanted to get close to Fang Linyuan, but unexpectedly, he was shocked by the cold aura around him, and he said embarrassingly. Backed off. "Father received a secret report from the secret guards, and learned that you have been in touch with Feng Yinran, the youngest son of Fengtong, the Prime Minister of Rongshao, and that he is the only disciple of Liuyin, one of the three calamities in the world. Wouldn't it be a pity to take advantage of it?" Fang Tingwu licked his lips obscenely, and added: "Father's order this time is to get you closer to Feng Yinran, so that he can deceive him step by step with his deceiving techniques. Those ministers who control Rongshao country and hinder our great affairs. Of course, when necessary, you can sacrifice your hue, seventh brother."

Hearing this, his star eyes narrowed slightly, and Fang Linyuan's gentle and jade-like gentlemanly demeanor was suddenly replaced by a great killing intent, and his cold glance seemed to point directly at him, "Didn't my father not care about it when he sent me to Rongshao?" Is it my life or death? Why don't you appoint a proud son like Big Emperor Brother to do such a big event now?"

Standing unconcernedly under the pressure of Fang Linyuan's sword energy, Fang Tingwu flicked the unnecessary dust on his body leisurely, with a sneering smile on his feminine lips, "Seventh brother is now With the backing of the Demon Cult, the family has a great career and never cared about Cangjue's throne, so naturally he can turn a blind eye to his father's will. But," he said, he took a step forward, pointed Fang Linyuan's chest with his fingertips and said: "Seventh Brother, please don't forget that your biological mother is also our aunt, the former Princess Rouman of the Cangjue Kingdom. She is a half-demon who is neither human nor ghost, and is under the control of her father!"

His fingers moved slightly, without seeing Fang Linyuan's movements, the long sword at his waist was already out of its sheath, and it was lying on Fang Tingwu's neck, "Fang Tingwu, I warned you before when I was in Cangjue, if someone No matter how rude you are to my mother, don't say you are my eldest brother, even if you are my father, I will be merciless!"

The fearless Fang Tingwu pinched two fingers and gently pushed the cold long sword away, leaned close to Fang Linyuan's cheek, and smiled softly in his ear, "Seventh brother, it's okay for you to be ruthless to elder brother, but don't forget Aunt Rou's life is tied to her father. If her father wants her to live, she will live, if her father wants her to die, she will die... Seventh brother, can you bear to look at such a youthful beauty like Aunt Rou? , tortured in front of you, can't you just want to die?"

His face darkened, Fang Linyuan put his sword back into its sheath with a flick of his fingers, took a step back and distanced himself from Fang Tingwu, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Thank you for reminding me, brother, Linyuan has been taught. Today's gift, one day, I, Fang Linyuan, will definitely repay you a hundred times and a thousand times."

Fang Tingwu curled his lips indifferently, straightening the golden crown hairband hanging on his chest, and said unhurriedly: "I think the seventh brother still remembers Hu Ying. That woman, in order to better control her younger sister, Father decided to use Feng Yinran and you to get rid of her."

"Brother Huang and Emperor Father really have a good plan. That woman is already a feud with the Feng family, so it's not in vain for you to add fuel to the fire." Fang Linyuan didn't want to entangle Fang Tingwu any more. Smiling coldly, he turned to leave, but was stopped by Fang Tingwu. "Seventh brother, don't worry, don't you care about the life and death of that child from the Feng family?"

Being provoked by Fang Tingwu again and again, Fang Linyuan laughed back angrily, his fair complexion shone with a jade-like brilliance under the shroud of moonlight, making his thin red lips extraordinarily enchanting. "It seems that big emperor brother has arranged some good show again, are you waiting to invite Lin Yuan to watch it?"

Looking at Fang Linyuan's handsome face with a light smile, the smile on Fang Tingwu's face froze inexplicably, and his expression also turned cold, "It's not a good show, but that stupid woman Huying set up a trick tonight to want that Feng Brother, I advise you to go to the abandoned house of the Shen family to take a look. If you take a step too late, you may not be able to complete the order assigned to you by the emperor, and you will have to collect the body of the Feng family boy..." dragging the end After shouting this sentence, Fang Tingwu looked at Fang Linyuan's receding back, with a sinister smile, and slowly retreated step by step into the shadow of the alley. "Fang Linyuan, my Seventh Emperor Brother, Father's strategy is too clever. I'm afraid it can not only use Feng Yinran's deceiving technique to control Rongshao's officialdom, but also help me get rid of Fang Linyuan, your hidden danger..."

……Dividing line……

However, Feng Yinran returned to Feng Mansion after sleeping peacefully with Duan Ziyi. As soon as he arrived at the gate, his personal servants, Feng Yao and Xue Fu, came out eagerly and tied a letter on the hairpin. The letter above was passed on to Feng Yinran.

"Young master, someone shot this letter on the plaque in the inner courtyard earlier." Feng Yao stood beside her with her head down, not curious about what was written in the letter, but the tight crescent eyebrows revealed the worry in her heart, "Besides, that kid Moxi hasn't come back after going out with the young master in the morning. But did the young master assign him to do anything?"

After reading the content on the paper at a glance, Feng Yinran heard Feng Yao's words, and then looked at the extremely familiar hairpin in his hand, and his heart already understood.There wasn't much homework in the palace today, so he sent Mo Xi back to the mansion first, and went to hang out with Qinghan himself.It seems that most of Mo Xi was held hostage on the way back home and used as a hostage to threaten him.At the beginning when Ling Yan was the head of the Xing Xing Pavilion, he relied on his high martial arts skills and never had any secret bodyguards. Now that he takes over the Xing Xing Pavilion, although he is young and weak, none of the four guardians thought of sending him a few As a guard, I don't know if he was trying to test him or if he really forgot about it.Now that Moxi had an accident, it was too urgent to go to Qianxing Pavilion to find someone to help, so he had to play in person.

"Feng Yao, you go back with Xue Fu first. Don't let father know about this matter for the time being. If he comes back later, he will tell you that there is something wrong with the Qixi Palace. I may live there tonight." Putting Xi's hairpin into her bosom, Feng Yinran ordered the boy at the door to lead him a horse to the stable, and at the same time told Feng Yao: "If I don't come back tonight or if I don't send someone back to report my safety, You just ask the servants in the mansion to take this to Miss Suzaku in the Misty Xuan Pavilion, and tell her to find out what's weird about the abandoned house of the Shen family in the north of the city." Feng Yinran said as she untied a piece of clothing tied around her belt. A small jade badge was stuffed into Feng Yao's hands, and seeing the reluctance and worry on both of her faces, she finally couldn't bear their fear and fear, and joked with a dejected expression: "What are you doing with a mournful face? Don't you believe that your young master has Is this the ability to save Mo Xi?"

After all, Xue Fu was still a little girl, and when she saw Feng Yinran sad, she panicked, "No, no, Xue Fu knows that the young master is the most powerful." After laughing, he realized that he was cheated by the young master. "Master! People are worried about you and Mo Xi, yet you still make fun of him!"

"Okay, okay." Feng Yinran saw the young man leading his horse over, stopped joking with Xue Fu, turned on the horse deftly with a tap of her toe, nodded at Feng Yao and asked, "Everything I say is not a joke. Remember?"

Smart women never ask out their curiosity, but they can properly do what they should do, and it is her intelligence that Feng Yinran values ​​Feng Yao. "Don't worry, young master," replied with a virtuous smile, and Feng Yao's demeanor was not like a maid in a prime minister's mansion, but more like a senior woman in a noble family, "I hope young master is careful in everything, Feng Yao and Xue Fu will prepare for you to like." some snacks, and wait for the young master and Mo Xi to come back."

Glancing at Feng Yao approvingly, Feng Yinran urged his horse to hurry, and galloped towards the abandoned house of the Shen family in the north of the city.Although there was no signature on the letter, judging from the delicate handwriting, the person who left the letter should be a woman.Being able to nail the jade hairpin with the letter on the plaque without damaging the hairpin, the person who delivered the letter must be very skillful.Feng Yinran asked himself that he hadn't made half an enemy after taking over the Xingxing Pavilion, and when it came to the mysterious woman with high martial arts, it seemed that only Hu Ying who accidentally hit and rescued him and Fang Linyuan that day...

Fortunately, the night was dark and there were not many pedestrians on the street. Otherwise, Feng Yinran would have knocked down many people in the stalls by running so fast.Reining in the horse, he stopped at the gate of an abandoned old house in the north of the city. Feng Yinran, who had already familiarized himself with the map of the capital, looked up at the crumbling word "Shen's Mansion" on the dilapidated lintel, and frowned.It should be said that the owner of the big house in front of me was also very famous more than ten years ago. At that time, the owner here, Shen Haoyan, was a first-rank official.It's just that I don't know why this Taifu Shen offended Emperor Yin, and then many evidences of Shen Haoyan's corruption, accepting bribes, and perverting the law for personal gain spread overnight, and within a few days, Emperor Yin ordered his family to search for justice. There are more than a hundred members of the Shen family Went to Huangquan together.

Feng Yinran strolled into the gate of Shen's house, only to feel that this gloomy Shen's house also had a cold air in the summer night.According to legend, after the Shen family was wiped out overnight, there would always be the sound of ghosts crying at midnight every night in this old Shen family house, so no one dared to move into this big house and let it be abandoned for more than ten years.Turning around the screen wall and entering the main hall, Feng Yinran's eyes dimmed, and she didn't know how the structure of the house was designed back then. Outside, the moon was shining brightly in the sky, and the sky was shining like water, but in the main hall, not a single ray of light could penetrate, and she stretched out her hand in darkness. No fingers.Feeling suddenly vigilant, Feng Yinran tried hard to concentrate her spiritual consciousness on her ears, when she suddenly felt a slight sound coming from behind her, and a handful of powdery things poured down her head and face.

Subconsciously covering his eyebrows, eyes, mouth and nose, Feng Yinran tentatively lowered his sleeves, but he didn't feel any discomfort. He relaxed a little, but saw a saber light coming towards him, and he seemed to know his position clearly in the darkness.Quickly drew his sword to parry the opponent's sharp knife, Feng Yinran retreated, but unexpectedly the man changed into a maggot like a tarsus bone and chased after him.Seeing that the enemy hidden in the darkness knew his situation well, Feng Yinran, who was tired of dealing with it, lowered his head and glanced at his sleeves, only to realize that the powder that had just been sprinkled on him was fluorescent luminous powder. Accurately distinguish his position in the darkness.Feng Yinran, who had already noticed that the enemy's internal strength was much deeper than her own, relied on the dexterity and changeability of various sword moves with the Zhanqing Sword. After barely blocking dozens of moves, she gradually lost the match, and suffered several wounds on her back and arms.

"I don't know where Feng Yinran offended senior, and I invite senior to speak up." The clash of swords produced a few sparks, and Feng Yinran smelled the faint scent of powder on the opponent's body. In fact, she already had the answer in her heart, but she just wanted to attract this The enemy in the dark said a few words to determine her location.As if he had seen through his intentions, the mysterious man's moves became more and more ruthless, and suddenly he slammed Feng Yinran's chest with a horizontal palm, and flew straight out and fell on the old desk and chair.

"Cough..." Her throat was sweet, and Feng Yin, who was coughing, spat out a mouthful of blood. Her chest hurt like a burning fire, and she couldn't speak for a while.

"I only thought you were good at deceiving minds, but I didn't expect that your martial arts are also good. If I let you practice for a few more years, how could I hurt you so easily." Feng Yinran was seriously injured by one blow, and hid in the dark The mysterious man laughed, and his melodious voice was that of Hu Ying, the strange woman who saved Feng Yinran and Fang Linyuan that day.Feng Yinran reluctantly raised her head to follow the prestige, her eyes adapted to the darkness could roughly see the outline of Hu Ying's figure, but she couldn't see her expression at the moment. "Hu Ying, who are you?"

Some crazily laughed sharply, Hu Ying said quietly: "I am the enemy of your Feng family, I am a member of the Shen family!"

Sure enough...Feng Yinran calmed down her chaotic breath, but felt a bit of sympathy for this woman who had been driven mad by hatred, "What was the inside story and grievances of the Shen family's case back then, I'm afraid it's not just the one who should be looking for... The father who became the supervisor and beheader is the one behind the scene, Your Majesty today?"

Hu Ying hurriedly stepped forward as if to drag Feng Yinran from the ground, but stopped abruptly, as if she still had lingering fears about how easily Feng Yinran could be controlled by the deception technique. "With Shu Yanrong, our Shen family will naturally go back and settle the matter. It's your fate that you didn't drown you that day. Today I will definitely kill you, so that Feng Tong can also experience the pain of losing a loved one!"

"It turned out that you were the one who pushed that child into the water..." Feng Yinran whispered softly, and laughed softly, echoing in this old house that was already full of ghosts, Hu Ying also felt weird and terrifying , "Boy, what are you laughing at!"

"I laugh at you for underestimating my deceiving technique..." The brilliance in the eyes was even stronger, Feng Yinran said as she closed her eyes with a frown, and a mocking smile curled up on the corner of her mouth, "Shen Huying," he said. After a pause, he read slowly: "I want you to destroy my martial arts with your own hands."

For a moment, her thoughts froze, and Hu Ying watched helplessly as she raised her hand without hesitation, and slapped her Tianling fiercely. Under the severe pain, there was even more panic in her heart.Staggering back a step and falling to the ground, she came back to her senses, "You..." Vomiting a big mouthful of blood, Hu Ying smiled miserably, "Why...you can't see me..."

Desperately suppressing the surging qi and blood, Feng Yinran swallowed a mouth full of blood, knowing that she was seriously injured and forced to use the mind-confusing technique, and now it is at the end of her strength to hurt others and herself. "Who said that the mind-confusing technique has to rely on eye contact to activate it... Quickly tell me where Mo Xi is now?"

Hu Ying stared at Feng Yinran with a sneer, her pretty face distorted and terrifying, "Feng Yinran! So what if I'm useless in martial arts, at least I can get that little book boy to be buried with you! Even if I'm a ghost, our Shen family will We will not let everyone who harmed us back then be spared!"

Seeing Hu Ying crawling towards her with a long knife unsteadily, Feng Yinran secretly cursed a lunatic, but she couldn't lift any strength anymore, and spit out a few more mouthfuls of blood in a hurry, finally My eyes were black and I fainted...
