Fengmou in troubled times

When Feng Mingyan, who is the mother of a country, comes, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty will naturally stand up to greet her, so Feng Yinran and Shao Surong, who followed the Queen Fengyan, came in and enjoyed the treatment that only a queen can have. All the adults worshiped and went to sit next to the emperor's father, who especially made the officials who were dissatisfied with Prime Minister Feng even more resentful.

After some praises, the boring dinner finally started.Shao Suhong, who was in good condition after just a nap, only saw the delicacies on the table. If it weren't for the fact that he hadn't forgotten the court etiquette that he had learned in surprise, he might have to grab it.Feng Yinran was still a little drowsy and had no appetite beside him, but he had to carefully supervise Shao Suyun, and quickly reminded him secretly if there was the slightest act of disrespect, the meal was particularly boring, and the expression on his face was also very dull. Can't help becoming indifferent.

"Hey, Linyuan is looking at you, don't you want to say hello?" Shao Suyun, who was devouring hungrily, hadn't forgotten to look around and listen to all directions, and waved the chicken leg in his hand to Fang Linyuan who was facing him as a sign call.

Carefully wiped the oil stains from the corners of Shao Surong's mouth, Feng Yinran, who had already put down the chopsticks in her hands, looked up at Linyuan and smiled, but the movements in her hands didn't stop. "Eat your meal, why bother so much." The memory of that day was blurred and clear, clear and blurred, but it seemed to have been engraved in his heart.Whenever he thinks of the person opposite, his heart will be unconsciously relaxed.

Picking up the wine glass and raised it towards Feng Yinran, Fang Linyuan smirked at Feng Yinran and said: "In the cold night, the snow is light, and the door is full of jade. A single lamp and a glass of wine, stand still until dawn..." He shook his head Swirling the wine glass, he seemed to think of Feng Yinran's lovely drunk appearance that day, and couldn't help laughing.

Unexpectedly, Fang Linyuan remembered what he said just after reading it that day. Feng Yinran, who also remembered his embarrassment that day, rubbed his nose unnaturally, lowered his head and concentrated on studying the food on the plate, as if Suddenly there is unlimited interest.

Shao Suyun, who peeked at the expressions of the two, also laughed lowly, crooked Feng Yinran with his elbow and laughed softly: "What is Linyuan talking about? It's been a long time. By the way, I forgot to ask you last time, Which one of the "Book of Songs" was that passage you read before you fell asleep?"

His cheeks suddenly became hot, Feng Yinran poked the vegetable leaves on the plate, and said in a vicious voice: "I told you to eat well, what happened so long ago, why do you ask?" He was ashamed and annoyed, but suddenly A voice was heard in the lively hall.

"I've heard that Feng Cheng's handwriting is good. Presumably the young master of his family has also learned from his father's true biography? Today, the emperor is having fun with the people. Why don't you let the young master of Feng's family write a few auspicious words to please you?" Caitou, let us all see it, how about it?"

After singing and dancing, Zhang Nianshen, Minister of Rites on the opposite side, suddenly spoke, with a hint of waiting for a good show in his words.The whole hall was inexplicably quiet and looked at this side. Shao Suhong, who had been immersed in eating, frowned after hearing this. Although he was not very worried, he was still a little annoyed, and stared unceremoniously at Zhang Nianshen who was secretly sneering.After being stunned for a while, Feng Yinran sneered slightly at the corner of her mouth.It's just a political party struggle, and the flames of war have been set on innocent family members, not to mention that he is still a child on the surface!This Zhang Nianshen really knows how to pick soft persimmons!Then he remembered that the murderer who gave him the opportunity to come to this world might still be at large in the Feng family mansion, Feng Yinran, who was already upset, couldn't help but turn his eyes a little colder.

The aloof Emperor Yin Shu Yanrong was also taken aback when he heard the words, and there was some imperceptible pity in Feng Yinran's eyes. "The youngest son of the Feng family is young after all, this matter..." Looking at the silent Feng Tong and the worried queen beside him, Shu Yanrong just wanted to change the topic, but Feng Yinran stood up by himself. "Since Master Zhang has spoken, Yin Ran has no choice but to show his shame in front of His Majesty, Empress, and all the adults!" He bowed slightly as he spoke, with a naturally cold and arrogant air on his body, which was just right and neither humble nor overbearing.

Fang Linyuan glanced at the different performances of the ministers around him, and his eyes met Feng Yinran's. Seeing the calm confidence in his eyes, he somehow settled down in his heart.After bumping into Lu Mochen, who was about to start a fight, and the aggrieved prince, Shuyan Pingyu, Fang Linyuan gave them a calm look, and nodded to Feng Yinran with a smile.

While speaking, the eunuch had already brought a pen and paper to Feng Yinran.Feng Yinran, who pursed her thin lips and didn't pay attention to the attention of civil and military officials, only nodded at the worried-looking queen on the seat, and then smiled at Fang Linyuan who was opposite, without thinking As if to drop eight large characters on the paper, the ink was presented to the emperor before it was completely dry.

Looking at the flying characters on the paper, Shu Yanrong couldn't help but his eyes brightened, and the queen beside him also felt relieved, looking at his brother proudly and gratified.Before the ministers on the sidelines could react, Feng Yinran bowed at the right time and said: "With this book, Yin Ran just wishes Your Majesty the imperial court, the river is clean, the sea is clean, and the world is well-being!"

"Good! What a Heqing Haiyan, the world is Kangning!" Shu Yanrong just praised, and the "smart" officials below immediately repeated "Heqing Haiyan, the world is Kangning" in unison and shouted long live.The emperor of Longyan Dayue ordered his servants to frame the words, and said with a smile: "Come here, reward me!"

Seeing that the so-called fool of the Feng family accepted the provocation so easily and won so well, Zhang Nianshen's complexion suddenly turned ugly, and he couldn't help but gloomyly boasted when the officials calmed down: "Sure enough, it's Father Tiger!" Wugouzi! But being so outstanding when you are young may not necessarily be outstanding when you grow up." Although the voice was not loud, it was clearly heard by the audience.

Shao Surong was about to lift the table, but was held down by Feng Yinran, raised her eyebrows, Feng Yinran smiled politely, and immediately replied impolitely: "Seeing how Master Zhang is now, he must have been very outstanding when he was young." of!"

"You!..." Of course, the ministers of the Feng faction would not let go of this opportunity to taunt Zhang Nian Shen, and laughed cooperatively. Zhang Nian Shen was so embarrassed that the blue veins on his forehead almost didn't jump out of anger. Bigger and irreconcilable.Shu Yanrong, who was happily watching the play on the dragon chair, suppressed a smile, and waved her hand to signal Feng Yinran to return to her seat, "Okay, okay, if you want to truly achieve the peace of the river, the sea, the peace, and the well-being of the world, it would be impossible without the dedicated assistance of your lovers." Impossible. I would like to offer you a cup of love!"

……Dividing line……

Because after the group of officials dispersed, they were dragged by the empress to gossip about a few things, by the time the Feng family's carriage left the palace gate, it was already a quarter of Haishi.The people who were busy visiting the lanterns have long since returned. The lanterns left on the side of the road or hung on the branches in twos and threes are still burning their last dreamlike prosperity dutifully. After the carnival, the empty loneliness is scattered.

Snow flakes like goose feathers floated up without knowing when, and the flickering lights revealed it, which was extraordinarily colorful and chaotic.It has been snowing so frequently in the capital for the past few days, looking up at the heavy snow falling on the ground, Feng Yinran couldn't help but think of many things many, many years ago, and the painful days when he was trapped in the ice purgatory Here, he can only resist those pains by recalling the happy memories of the past.The despair and bewilderment at that moment seemed to be still in front of my eyes, but it seemed like a lifetime away.Just like he often wonders, will he suddenly wake up one day, and all of this is just a ridiculous dream after drunkenness.But he and Ah Xuan are just two ordinary boys in this world, still worrying about making a living, ordinary but having simple happiness... Until a gust of wind hit him with snowflakes on his face, and he stared out the car window obsessively Feng Yinran woke up suddenly, carefully closed the curtains, turned around and carefully drank the fruit wine for him, but he didn't expect that the fruit wine had a high alcohol content, and Shao Suying, who was sleeping ignorantly, tucked up the blanket.

Feng Yinran did this series of movements naturally, and when he retracted his hand, he remembered that his father Feng Tong was also in the car, so he had no choice but to look at Feng Tong who was staring at him. "Father, tonight..." He originally wanted to say that as a junior, he didn't give Zhang Nianshen any face at the banquet, which was a bit too arrogant.Unexpectedly, Feng Tong interrupted him before he could speak: "You did a good job just now."

Feng Tong touched the top of his head, and said in a harmonious voice: "You gave him a bad name today in front of all the officials, of course it hurt his prestige and deepened the enmity between the two factions. The party struggle will become more intense." Seeing his son showing guilt, Feng Tong shook his head and said: "But all this is exactly what the emperor wants to see the most."

"Father means that the emperor..." Feng Yinran rolled her eyes and immediately figured it out.From ancient times to the present, there is no emperor who does not rely on his ministers and be wary of them.The two factions of Feng and Zhang are constantly fighting each other. As long as the emperor can reconcile at the right time and let them contain each other, no one side can dominate and threaten the supreme prestige of the imperial power.If he didn't force himself tonight, the emperor must have found another reason to appease Fengtong's faction. Isn't it proof that he only favors Empress Feng during this period of time.

"A companion is like a tiger... At such a young age, it's really rare to think of this, and the two congratulatory speeches before were also well thought out and appropriate for the occasion." Looking at his expression, he knew that he had figured out the reason, Feng Tong couldn't help but nodded approvingly, "You have become more transparent after a serious illness. If such a talent is honed more, the future fortune will not be lower than the achievements of being a father today. It's just..." His gaze softened, Feng Tong stretched out her hand and hugged her son on her knees, and said with pity, "I already feel sorry for your mother for sending your sister into the palace. As a father, how can I have the heart to let you fall into this bureaucracy where all the organs are exhausted?" Among them?!" Feng Tong rubbed the top of his head, and Yin Ran was a little startled by her penetrating tone, "When you were born, Ling Yan said that your seven souls and three souls did not return to their place, and it was me who I insisted on keeping you here, and let you live these seven years of unexamined life, being ridiculed and teased by others. Now you have finally returned to my father's side," Fengtong sighed softly, unable to tell whether it was regret or gratification in her tone, "You With this temperament, I don’t like to be bound by these intrigues. If it is possible, as a father, I certainly hope to protect you for the rest of my life. Live well! This is what I owe you for my father."

With sour eyes, Feng Yinran asked stupidly: "Father, you know that I..."

Raising his hand to stop him from continuing, Feng Tong, who had been surprised and confused by Ling Yan's statement at the beginning, is now relieved, since he has gradually figured it out, why let his anxiety add to the child's burden.Holding Yin Ran's cold little hand, Feng Tong asked as if talking to himself: "I don't know what kind of hardships you have experienced in the past seven years away from home..."

The warmth of family affection that had never been experienced in the previous life was finally realized at this moment. Feng Yinran didn't know if God felt that he owed them a lot, so that they had their current identities and possessed Fengtong and Fengming. Yan father and daughter love their family.Silently and firmly in his heart, Feng Yinran understood that no matter what in this life, he could not escape the shackles of this heavy family affection, but he was not willing to push away this warmth and peace of mind. "Father," Feng Yinran, who was determined to hold Fengtong's hand back, said with a smile, "As the only son of the Feng family, it is Yin Ran's bounden duty to inherit his father's business and take care of his elder sister. Doesn't father believe that his son has the ability to protect the Feng family?"

Smiling in relief, Feng Tong pinched Yin Ran's nose and wrapped his coat tightly around him.Just as he was about to speak, the horse neighed, and the car suddenly stopped. "Old, master, there is someone standing in the middle of the road, we..." The driver saw something, and his voice trembled.

Feng Tong's eyes sank when he heard the words, and he pushed Feng Yinran behind him, raised the curtain with his left hand, but there was a little cold light in his right hand.I saw a figure standing alone on the empty street, and the light of several lanterns shone on him, as if he was an exile.Seeing that Feng Tong was coming, he was taken aback, and he couldn't help but relax, put away the weapon between his fingers, and jumped out of the carriage nimbly, "Liu Yin? Why are you back..."

Feng Yinran poked her head out from behind the curtain, only to see that the man was only wearing a simple red singlet, standing barefoot on the snow-covered street.The eyebrows and eyes are obviously exquisite, but when you look at this person, apart from feeling his deep depression and silence, you can't describe or even try to remember his appearance at all.Only his pair of flying phoenix eyes seem to have a breathtaking brilliance hidden in them, so people can't help but sink into his cold eyes.

"Fengtong, your Fengfu is not peaceful anymore, I can't keep him in the capital anymore." The man in red called Liuyin replied calmly, his voice seemed a little colder than the heavy snow.

After a moment of silence, Fengtong rubbed her forehead helplessly, and finally gave in, "Get in the car first, if there is anything else, let's talk about it when we go home."

……Dividing line……

When she woke up and opened the door and saw Xi Minghong's figure, Feng Yinran suddenly felt a headache.

"Liuyin... Uncle..." It was very difficult to speak, thinking of calling a man who was both immortal and demon "Uncle" so serious, he wanted to bite off his tongue. "That... I..."

"You are Feng Yinran?"

When someone who was trying to organize his language heard someone calling his name, his brain froze almost immediately.Liu Yin's voice was indeed cold, but at the same time it was so pure and clean that people could no longer pay attention to anything other than his voice.Although he has a charming appearance, no one can pay special attention to his eyes the first time they look at him.Liu Yin's eyes are very bright, and just a glance at those evil phoenix eyes can make you fall into it, unable to extricate yourself.It’s like scorching peach blossoms, verdant bamboos, long red leaves, and white snow piled up in front of your eyes. The reincarnation of the four seasons, the death and life of all things, are all close at hand, and a hundred years of floating life is only a snap of your fingers. Feng Yinran only felt that everything in her brain seemed to be emptied suddenly, only the heart was beating wildly as if it was about to pop out, screaming in the body with a sharp pain hidden in it.

Unable to take a step back and put her hands against her heart, Feng Yinran took a deep breath before she calmed down. "You...why did you do this just now?" If it wasn't for the slight pain in his heart, he almost thought he was in a dream, that's why he saw Liu Yin looking at him with such charming eyes.A gaze will make people forget?Is this the so-called sorcery?But he has even seen the ghost world of Fengdu, and he is not afraid of encountering a few more monsters and ghosts, not to mention that Liuyin is much more interesting than the ten halls of Yama.

"I didn't see it wrong."

Liu Yin didn't bother to guess what Feng Yinran was thinking, and there was no need to worry about it.Laughing happily, Liu Yin's brows and smiles, which were as cold as ice and snow, were the same as the staring gaze just now, with the power to make people crazy.After watching in a daze, Feng Yinran settled down, and then forced herself to calm down, and listened carefully to Liu Yin's words.

"After I have mastered my mind-confusing technique, there are probably no more than five people in this world who can wake up in an instant after being controlled by me." Liuyin's pale smile was fleeting, but the excitement in his eyes was even brighter. What's more, "Except for you, the other four can be regarded as unrivaled masters. Although they can wake up from my confusion, they have to do their best to pay the price of hurting their internal organs." His tone was flat, his face There was no expression, but it was strange that Feng Yinran could hear his arrogant pride from it. "I didn't expect that you are only seven years old now, and you can get rid of my control safely. Feng Yinran, you are fine."

Is this a compliment?Feng Yinran frowned, and almost wanted to roll her eyes.Standing at other people's door early in the morning, using the "confusing mind technique" that no martial arts master can parry to test a child whose physical age is only seven years old (of course, the mental age is ignored first.)!Anyone who can do such a thing is either an expert or a lunatic!

"Except you, I'm afraid there is no one in this world who is more suitable to learn my tricks." As if seeing Feng Yinran's slander, Liu Yin didn't force it, and smiled lightly, "I only give you three days to think about it. "He turned around and left after speaking, never forcing.

"Wait!" Feng Yinran rushed up to stop him.

Liu Yin couldn't help but smile, "Decided?" To be able to teach such an indifferent him to do this, it can be seen that he really wants to accept this apprentice.

Feng Yinran nodded, but shook her head again, "You want to accept me as an apprentice, but I can't just agree to apprentice without knowing anything about my master and the martial arts I want to learn, right? The most difficult thing in the world to understand and the most difficult to guard against Yes, it is the human heart, let alone wanting to rely on a mortal body to control the influence. If you don't explain the pros and cons to me, how can you attract me to learn this thaumaturgy?"

Looking him up and down again, Liuyin sat down on the stone steps carelessly, still undressed and barefoot, Feng Yinran couldn't help shivering a few times, "Ling Yan said that your soul has just returned to its place recently. I don’t believe it, after hearing what you said now, maybe that magic stick didn’t lie to me this time.”

A burst of anger ignited in my heart, I didn't expect that Ling Yan, the magic stick national teacher, would spread it everywhere, Feng Yinran really regretted that when Ling Yan came that day, he didn't meet him face to face . "Hey, do you want to introduce the mind-confusing technique?"

Seeing his angry look, Liuyin couldn't help being in a good mood. She took out an old book from her pocket and threw it to Feng Yinran casually, "Read it yourself. But when it comes to telling stories, I want to hear you more. I don't know how to read it." Should I treat you like a seven-year-old child..."

Gritting her teeth to suppress her anger, Feng Yinran said bluntly: "Why don't you ask Guoshi Ling Yan, I think he is more like a storyteller who can tell trivial things in an indescribable way!" Liu Yin, Feng Yinran suddenly felt that he looked better when he was cold, "I have to study carefully about the deception technique. Whether I recognize you as a master is a matter for another story. However, the man you mentioned last night was referring to Ah Yi Right?" Although it's a guess, he won't speak nonsense if there is no basis, "You told your father that the Feng family is no longer peaceful, did you find something? Since Ah Hong and I are also in danger, There is no reason why these things should not be disclosed to us."

Looking down at Feng Yinran, who had a righteous face and a tough tone, Liuyin was not annoyed, and said with a faint smile: "You are very angry with me. No matter whether you agree or not, I will accept you as an apprentice." .”

Feng Yinran's body froze, and when Liu Yin said this, those bewitching eyes glanced at him lightly, and a powerful aura came over him, preventing him from saying a word of objection.He has been in this world for a short time, and because he has been recuperating his body for the past few days, his martial arts foundation is still blank. And language.However, the mind-confusing technique that Liuyin demonstrated at this moment is like a key, which arouses his desire for power, and it is even more a temptation.Only he himself clearly understands how tempted he is by the ability to manipulate people's hearts.

Glancing at the old book in her hand, Feng Yin suddenly raised her head and smiled with relief: "Perhaps I am not only the most suitable person to learn mind-confusing technique, but also the person who is most looking forward to learning mind-confusing technique." Putting the book back into Liuyin's hand At the meeting, Feng Yinran said nonchalantly: "Since I have decided to learn, any difficulties and disadvantages are completely out of my consideration. This book must be useless, so I should return it to you, Master."

Unexpectedly, he would agree so simply, Liu Yin was stunned, and nodded approvingly, not sticking to the etiquette of apprenticeship, and simply explained a few words, and then recognized Yin Ran as the only one. Formal disciple. "Come to Fengtong's study with Shao Surong in a while, and you will get answers to the things you want to ask later."
