Fengmou in troubled times

Feng Yinran, who specially picked the secluded, spacious and sparsely populated roads and galloped his horse, listened to the whistling wind in his ears, and the tangled emotions in his heart finally calmed down a bit.He couldn't understand Linyuan's talent and learning very well, and he also knew that if Linyuan was allowed to return to the Cangjue Kingdom to win the throne, he would definitely be the overlord of a generation. A powerful country.Maybe it's not that there is no chance to unify Bingbo and Huomin, the five countries that are connected to the mainland, and even rule the entire Kuxu human world, and achieve a great cause.

Since the moment he realized that he liked Shang Linyuan, he had already considered so many issues, and it was precisely because he wanted to help Lin Yuan ascend the throne that Feng Yinran paid special attention to sending stars in recent years Ge's development outside of Rongshao country is also ready to accompany him to go to Cangjue and abandon everything here.But... Feng Yinran waved his horsewhip, staring at the front, but Fang Linyuan's face was all in his mind, and he couldn't tell whether he was disappointed or angry, and he didn't know whether to blame Fang Linyuan or himself for being stingy.Obviously they have decided to be desperate, but they still take the issue of inseparability, which makes the two of them unhappy...

"Yin Ran!"

Startled by this shout, Feng Yinran hastily reined in the horse's reins, and when she looked up, she was already at the gate of Gu's Villa. Gu Qinghan, who was guarding the gate and waiting for him, waved at him. Impatiently, she rushed over, "Yin Ran, you are here!"

Speaking of which, among the three people who studied martial arts together, Feng Yinran prefers ease and comfort, and often likes to stay in the room to read books, but also hates the scorching heat and the sun, plus he learns everything faster than Qing Han, so the number of times he is punished is compared with the number of hard training alone. It can be said that Qinghan is very rare.I don't know if it's because of this reason that Gu Qinghan, who is a month younger than Feng Yinran, is half a head taller than him, and his body looks stronger.The two stood together, making Feng Yinran look like a frail scholar, but younger than Gu Qinghan.

Feng Yinran was so strangled by him that she almost lost her breath, and hurriedly broke free from Gu Qinghan's embrace, "The bigger you get, the more unruly you are." Obviously when she was young, she liked to follow behind him and Ziyi the most, calling "brother" one after another. , and now she can easily beat herself in fists and kicks... Feng Yinran was thinking about whether it was time for her to practice martial arts, and at the same time she missed Qinghan's cute little appearance when she was a child, but her ears It cannot be pure for a moment.

"I sent someone to invite you early in the morning, and when I arrived, I found out that you had gone to the Lu Mansion. It took a lot of time to go back and forth." Gu Qinghan dragged him all the way in, talking non-stop: "I came from the West Sea. When I came back, I wanted to ask you to go out for a drink. I didn’t expect to catch up with such a mess. I’ve been so busy these days. Didn’t I send the leader of the Kongtong sect just now, and Zi Yi came, and now I’m Let's drink tea with my father in the study."

"President Gu also invited Ziyi?" Feng Yinran frowned when he heard this, and with himself, the three major forces in the martial arts world were gathered together except for the Demon Cult.Gu Liuming has been the leader of the martial arts alliance for more than ten years, and all the factions in the world have been living in peace. This time, people from the Qixi Palace and Qianxing Pavilion were invited to discuss matters, either to deal with the demon sect, or if something serious happened in the martial arts. big deal. "The Kongtong faction is far away in northern Xinjiang, and they actually came to the capital in person from thousands of miles away. I don't know why?"

Gu Qinghan took advantage of his height and hooked Feng Yinran's neck with his hands. Outsiders only thought that the two of them were close, but they didn't know that the two of them were secretly screaming all the way, and they had to use their internal strength to compete. . "Then Master Qiu's younger brother, Jin Daxia, received a strange greeting card, and he couldn't find anyone when he left the house the next day. Head Qiu heard that several other gangs and martial arts families in Northern Xinjiang had similar disappearances one after another. So he volunteered and came to the capital to ask his father for help." Feng Yinran accidentally hit the hemp sutra on his elbow while he was speaking, and suddenly his entire arm seemed to be pricked by thousands of small needles, and he quickly pulled it from Feng Yinran's shoulder. When he came back, he screamed: "Hey, hey, Yin Ran, why are you so ruthless..."

Without even looking at the way Gu Qinghan was shaking his arms and baring his teeth, Feng Yinran turned around the corridor familiarly, and saw Gu Liuming's study door wide open from a distance, Duan Ziyi sitting on a mahogany chair by the door He was dangling the bamboo hat he often wears when he goes out, and when he turned his head to meet his gaze, a smile spread across Zhan Zi's eyes.

"In the past, I always felt that the hidden acrostic poem you wrote for Ziyi 'Ziyan's double pupils bewilder the world, and Yilian's shallow smile misled the common people' was too exaggerated," Gu Qinghan moved his arms and followed, seeing Duan Ziyi's demonic With a charming smile, I couldn't help but sighed: "But every time I saw Ziyi's smile in the past few years, I realized that your poem was too appropriate for the occasion. Fortunately, few people in the world have seen Ziyi's face, otherwise wouldn't it be The world is going to be in chaos..."

Although Feng Yinran didn't talk to her, she felt deeply in her heart.Duan Ziyi is now in charge of the big and small affairs of the Qixi Palace. When walking in the rivers and lakes, she always wears a bamboo hat and covers her face with white gauze.Those in the martial arts who were jealous of his status and power spread rumors that he was ugly and dared not show it to others, and because the master of the Palace of Pixiong had a precedent for calling himself a son, the Jianghu used the phrase "Purple clothes and white gauze, the son has no face" and called Ziyi the son. shameless.Although Ziyi herself didn't care much about it, the few people who had seen his true face couldn't help but smile when they heard this name for the first time. Speaking of which, Duan Ziyi's incomparably evil and charming face is indeed beyond words. To describe and describe, the word "no face" is hit by mistake, but it is also appropriate.

While the two were talking, they had already entered the study side by side. Gu Liuming, who was sitting up front, waved his hand to signal that they don't need to be polite, and found a place to sit down by themselves. Handed it to Yin Ran and Zi Yi, stroking his beard and said: "Zi Yi, Yin Ran, Pixiong Palace and Qian Xing Pavilion have always had a deep understanding of the secrets of the Jianghu, please take a look first, the person who wrote this invitation card , have you ever heard of it?"

Several greeting cards are of the same style, with a brocade cover and silk paper lined inside.Those who were invited were all the "second in command" who were good at martial arts but didn't care about the affairs of the famous martial arts family in northern Xinjiang. Most of them met in the woods or small teahouses in the suburbs. name.Feng Yinran looked at Duan Ziyi, saw that he also looked clueless, and said to Gu Liuming: "Leader Gu, have you asked the head of the Kongtong sect Qiu if he heard his junior brother mention this character? "

Gu Liuming shook his head and said: "Not only the head Qiu doesn't know this person, but even the other families insist that they have never heard of this so-called Wen Maochang."

"This is weird..." Feng Yinran pointed at the inscription of the greeting card with her fingertips, and pondered: "The wording of this greeting card is ordinary, and the person who sent the greeting card is also unknown, how can it attract the people of these martial arts families? My son is going to the appointment..."

Apparently having the same doubts as him, Gu Liuming, Ziyi, and Qinghan all nodded when they heard the words, and carefully checked the greeting cards again. "This seal seems a bit weird..." Duan Ziyi stared at the vermilion seal next to the signature, and suddenly frowned, "Middle-earth countries rarely use this hexagonal pattern for their seals, and this stamp makes people dizzy after looking at it for a long time... ..."

"Dizziness?" Feng Yinran was startled, only glanced at the seal, then quickly grabbed the greeting cards from the other three people and threw them aside. Seeing that the three of them were surprised but still clear-eyed, she said: "This It's not a seal, but a spell. Fortunately, the spell seal has lost its original effect after activation, otherwise we wouldn't just look dizzy..."

Hearing his explanation, the previous question was answered logically, but an even bigger mystery emerged: Who used this spell to meet those martial arts masters, and where did they take them?Gu Liuming looked at the few greeting cards scattered all over the place, and shook his head while brushing his beard. The surface of the world has been calm for the past few years, and he will not be able to keep it...

Although Feng Yinran has read many miscellaneous books, she only knows a little about the spell, but there is one person in the capital who can be called an expert in this way. "Master Gu, since you told me and Ziyi about this matter, you naturally hope that the Palace of Disciplines and I, the Pavilion of Sending Stars, can help you find out about this matter." Xing Pavilion has always made profits from trading information, but rarely does such a loss-making business. "Since you trust us, leave this matter to me to investigate thoroughly, how about it?" Yin Ran smiled faintly while playing with the greeting card in his hand, maybe, he just wanted to take this opportunity to go to Northern Xinjiang to relax.

Gu Liuming originally planned to use the intelligence power of Qianxing Pavilion all over the world, seeing Feng Yinran agreeing so painfully, he couldn't help but smile with relief: "That's very good, I will let Qinghan go to Northern Xinjiang with you to assist you in investigating this matter."

Seeing Qinghan's eagerness to pack his luggage immediately, Yin Ran knew that there was no way to stop him, so he reluctantly responded.Unexpectedly, just as she nodded her head, Ziyi said again: "There's nothing serious about the Palace of Pilgrimage recently, why don't I go with you." He moved his fingers slightly, and the folding fan with a jade bone silk surface opened and closed in his hand, He has the air of a dandy who walks the dog with the birds, but the light in those purple pupils is really intoxicating. "Since this person is proficient in spells and likes to invite others to compete in martial arts, he is also good at martial arts. You two should not underestimate the enemy."

It was obvious that they were going to thoroughly investigate the strange matter, but now it seems like they are going out together...Seeing that the two of them insisted, Feng Yinran had no choice but to compromise: "Forget it. I will go to the palace now and show Master Ling Yan this spell. You pack up your things first and wait for me in the Xingxing Pavilion, and we will set off tomorrow morning."

……Dividing line……

Rushing to the altar of inviting immortals non-stop, Feng Yinran wanted to go directly to the back hall to find Ling Yan, but was afraid of bumping into Fang Linyuan, so he hesitated before seeing Xiao Yongzi, the servant who served Fang Linyuan, come out of the yard, hurriedly Stopped him and asked: "Xiao Yongzi, is the national teacher there?"

"See Lord Hou." Xiaoyongzi was pulled up by Feng Yinran before he knelt down, "The national teacher just got the order of the Holy One and went to Yizhu Garden." Feng Yinran has been inviting immortals for several years Most of the regular customers who come here are looking for Fang Linyuan in the side hall, not to mention inviting the guards of the fairy altar, even the servants in the palace know about it.Xiao Yongzi saw that the young master came but did not enter, although he was a little strange in his heart, he still said habitually: "But the master just came back, so I will go to the same interpretation. If the master knows that the master is coming, he will be happy of."

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yongzi's voice was too loud for a moment of joy, and he was afraid that he could hear his words clearly in the backyard.Feng Yinran didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but she always felt that she vaguely heard the sound of doors opening and walking in the small courtyard of the side hall. She was afraid that she would see Fang Linyuan as soon as she looked up, so she quickly shook her head and said, "I have something important to go to the national teacher, if your family When the master asks, don't say that I have been here."

"Hey, Lord Hou, you..." Xiao Yongzi scratched his head as he watched the little Hou Ye leave in a hurry without looking back. Speaking of which, he didn't look very well at the master just now, should he? There must be something awkward between the two of them.A few days ago, he heard rumors in the palace that the emperor was going to marry Lord Hou. Could it be that his master was unhappy about this and the two had a quarrel?Just as he was thinking, Fang Linyuan's voice suddenly came from behind him: "Xiao Yongzi, aren't you going to the House of Internal Affairs? Why are you still standing at the door?"

Scared by him, Xiao Yongzi almost kneeled on the ground, "Oh, my master! You're trying to scare the little one to death!"

Standing on the steps, Fang Linyuan saw the all-too-familiar blue back from a distance, and couldn't help frowning: "Wang Shuhou came here just now?"

Although the little Hou Ye has repeatedly warned him, but the person has not gone far, with his master's eyesight, how can he not recognize it... "Hou Ye went to Yizhuyuan to find the national teacher, and he didn't know the anxious look. Something important happened, master, why don't you go and have a look?..."

Recalling Bamboo Garden?Hearing this, Fang Linyuan frowned even tighter. At this time of year, Emperor Yin would summon Ling Yan to Yizhu Garden to do something, and even asked Shu Yanping Yu to go to Shangxiang to worship during the Mid-Autumn Festival.He knew about this a long time ago, but he didn't pay much attention to it. It's just that Yin Ran is following recklessly now... Feeling inexplicably uneasy in his heart, Fang Linyuan looked at the sunset that was slanting to the west, thinking about it, he still couldn't feel relieved, and couldn't care less After hearing what Xiao Yongzi said, he hurriedly chased in the direction of Yizhuyuan.

However, Yin Ran asked several maids along the way, and finally found the gate of Yizhuyuan after turning around a few times, but unexpectedly, the Zhumen gate was closed tightly, and there was no one in sight within a hundred steps.Thinking of the cautious appearance of those palace maids when they mentioned this place, Feng Yinran looked at the serene and quiet palace garden, and was a little curious about what the palace maids said was haunted here.Emperor Yin chose such a desolate and uninhabited palace to summon Ling Yan, is it really to invite him, a great master of the country, to catch ghosts?Amused by her absurd idea, Feng Yinran couldn't help shaking her head and laughing, it's okay to let Ling Yan's big stick catch the thief, catch ghosts?forget it……

Using light effort to climb over the somewhat dilapidated palace wall, Feng Yinran, who landed firmly in the courtyard, looked up, and saw that there were copper locks on the doors of each room, which had obviously been abandoned for a long time.However, the bamboo forest next to the main hall is extremely luxuriant, and the verdant green onions are really pleasing.There is a faint sound of water coming from the depths of the forest. It seems that in order to cater to the artistic conception of Xiuzhu's quiet stream, the craftsman specially brought in living water to make it look like a mountain stream.Feng Yinran walked into the bamboo forest following the sound of water, only to realize that the bamboo forest was much bigger than he imagined.In addition to the fragrance of bamboo leaves in the forest, there is also a scent like sandalwood and flowers, which seems to linger around him like spirituality, as if guiding him to search for something deep in the bamboo forest.

"Bi Lou Ming Chuyue, Luo Qi hangs the new wind. The spring is not yet ready to sing, and the osmanthus wine is clear. The azaleas are singing in the bamboo, and the plum blossoms are all over the road. The swallow maiden swims in the spring moon, and Luo Chang drags the fragrant grass..."

Suddenly a soft female voice came into her ears, Feng Yin was taken aback for a moment, but saw a woman in emerald green clothes half squatting and half kneeling by the stream not far away, while bowing the clear water to wash her hair with her hands, while humming softly .She raised her head slowly, looked towards Feng Yinran, and smiled shyly, "Brother Rong, you eavesdropped on Zhu'er singing again..."

"Who are you..." Feng Yinran looked at the woman who raised her head, and couldn't help being slightly stunned. The face in front of her looked five points similar to Feng Mingyan, but it was much more charming than her, comparable to a peach blossom. , and even more dazzling, except for those black eyes that looked like lacquer, ninety-nine percent of them looked like Feng Yinran dressed in women's clothing.As if she couldn't hear his voice, the woman combed her long black hair slowly with one hand, lowered her head and said shyly: "Brother Rong, Zhu'er has your child, are you happy?"

Could it be that this is a fantasy world like the forbidden area of ​​Qianxing Pavilion?The more Feng Yinran looked at the woman in green, the colder she felt in her heart. She was about to take a closer look, but found that the scene in front of her was changing frequently. For a while, it was the pregnant picture of the woman whose waist was getting wider, and for a while, it was the picture of the woman bleeding profusely during childbirth. look.Suddenly there are silk and bamboo music around, and sometimes noisy human voices, and finally it stops abruptly with the woman's painful screams. A few simple shots have already told the short life of this woman.Seeing the haggard woman retreating from his sight little by little, Feng Yinran was about to chase after her, but she heard stumbling footsteps behind her, and when she looked back, it was Emperor Yin who staggered over, staring straight at her. With tears streaming down his face, he called out: "Zhu'er... Every year on your death day, I will light the soul-returning incense here and put up the soul-calling array... But why don't you stay with me for a while, it's always a blink of an eye fleeting..."

What he called was the girl's boudoir name in the illusion. Feng Yinran knew that Emperor Yin must have mistaken herself for that Zhuer girl, but before he could speak, Emperor Yin said to himself: "Zhuer , I insisted on marrying your niece Ming Yan because she was five points like you... But I never thought that now that child Yin Ran grew up day by day, she was nine points like you... Every time I see Yin Ran But that face, Zhu'er, do you know how much pain and hatred I have in my heart..."

Zhu'er... So that woman is Fengzhu...Feng Yinran was shocked, and then connected the woman she saw just now with a tablet with Fengzhu's name enshrined in the Feng family ancestral hall. The aunt Fengzhu that his father avoided talking about turned out to be Shu Yanrong's lover, and she once gave birth to a child for him... Feng Yinran was dazed, and suddenly she was grabbed by Shu Yanrong who suddenly rushed over. Holding his wrist, he could only hear him saying insanely: "Zhu'er, Zhu'er, why have you never entrusted me with dreams? Don't you miss our child? You see, there is no one in this palace except Ping Yu. A prince was born, because the future emperor can only be our child... I miss you so much, but I never even had a dream with you by my side. Zhu'er, Zhu'er, are you still resentful? , I hate your mother for being so cruel, causing you to die of injustice before giving birth to Ping Yu..."

A series of court secrets made Feng Yinran dizzy, he tried hard to free the wrist that was held by Shu Yanrong, but unexpectedly, the somewhat crazy Shu Yanrong was surprisingly strong, seeing him struggling, he immediately held down his life gate. "Zhu'er, don't go, stay with me for a while, even if it's just for a moment..."

Seeing that Shu Yanrong, who was completely caught in his own fantasy, approached him, Feng Yinran was hesitating whether to use the mind-confusing technique on him, but Fang Linyuan suddenly came out from behind Shu Yanrong, and unceremoniously slapped Shu Yanrong on the ground. On the back of Yan Rong's neck, Shu Yanrong was knocked unconscious.

"Linyuan? Why are you here..." Rubbing the painful wrist pinched by Emperor Yin, Yin Ran looked at Fang Linyuan's unhappy expression, and for a moment forgot that the two were still in a cold war.She glanced embarrassingly at Shu Yanrong who had fainted on the ground, and Feng Yinran was about to speak when she heard another girl's soft and weak voice calling Tiantian behind him: "Of course, but, let's go to enjoy the flowers together, okay?" good?"
