Fengmou in troubled times

"Yin Ran!"

Seeing Feng Yinran holding the dagger against his chest, Fang Linyuan was startled and frightened. His heart seemed to be roasted on the fire and frozen in the snow at one time, lest he accidentally hurt him. own. "I didn't think carefully about this matter!" Fang Linyuan said hastily, and it was the first time in his life that he bowed his head in front of others to admit his mistake, "Yin Ran, don't annoy me, okay?"

Feng Yinran looked down at the blood-stained dagger gleaming coldly. It was inserted from the chest, which could easily hurt the heart, which was dangerous and painful.As he thought about it, he raised his head to look at Fang Linyuan, because he was worried that he would harm himself, the man's brows and eyes were full of worry, and his already bloodless face was even paler.After staring blankly for a while, he finally couldn't bear the man to worry about himself anymore, he sighed, turned his wrist, and put down the sword. "Does it still hurt?"

"Hmm..." Seeing that Feng Yinran's expression really softened, Fang Linyuan quickly pulled him back and sat down beside him, wondering whether he should tell the truth or not.In order to win the trust of the officials present, that sword was indeed extremely dangerous. If he hadn't done it properly when dodging, I'm afraid it would really hurt the heart or the bones. "Yin Ran, I promised you never to risk yourself, you have to trust me. Don't be angry, okay?"

Looking at him bitterly, Feng Yinran was really annoyed that he didn't take her body seriously, and she was even more afraid that something might happen to him.As long as he thought of the scene just now, he couldn't help but feel terrified. It was unbearable that there was no such person as Fang Linyuan in this world.Maliciously poked Fang Linyuan's wound with his finger, and seeing him frown in pain, Feng Yinran couldn't bear it, "You have also studied medicine. If you want to cheat, there are more than a hundred ways? You have to suffer such a sword , Do you really think that you are immortal!" He made a straight face on purpose, but his voice was still a little trembling, "I will never even think about this kind of thing in the future!"

Feng Yinran, who had discarded the veiled cap, had a plain white face that was in a hurry just now, and didn't know it was stained by accident, and was messed up by himself with sweat, just like a little tabby cat.Fang Linyuan looked at him and wanted to laugh, but when he met his serious eyes with lingering fear, there was only sour tenderness left in his heart. "I'm sorry, Yin Ran..." Fang Linyuan carefully wiped off the ashes that had accidentally rubbed off on him, and Fang Linyuan kissed his forehead all the way, "There will be no next time." He has always been ruthless, Unscrupulous temperament, whether it is to others or to yourself.Since he met Feng Yinran, he has more and more scruples, but he doesn't think these fetters are a burden.On the contrary, Fang Linyuan felt happy to have someone that he could worry about and become the one that Yin Ran cared about.

Feeling each other's warmth, the uncontrollable kiss finally made Feng Yinran's restless heartbeat return to normal. "Linyuan," just hugging each other quietly for a while, Feng Yinran was about to ask him what his plan was, but he heard a rush of horseshoes coming from outside the car, as if a large group of people were swarming over.Immediately afterwards, before the guards following outside had time to speak, they exchanged hands, and for a moment only the sound of swords colliding and weapons entering the body could be heard.

Feng Yinran frowned, and looked up at Fang Linyuan, "Isn't it another assassin you arranged?"

Shaking his head hastily, Fang Linyuan listened to the chaotic footsteps outside, but smiled calmly: "Probably Brother Wuhuang is eager to make trouble, and I'm afraid my 'injury' is not serious enough."

Only Fang Yizhen, who is as poor as mud, can come up with such a foolish trick. Fang Linyuan was assassinated suddenly at the banquet, and Fang Yizhen, who was unscathed, was the first suspect to bear the brunt of the suspicion. Is this scapegoat not enough?Feng Yinran shook her head dumbfounded, and vaguely heard the killers outside had already dealt with the guards and were approaching the carriage to surround them.

Although the sneak attack at night took the lead, because the four guards resisted desperately, two of the ten killers who came were lost. Even though the master had said that one of the two people in the car was seriously injured, The few assassins still did not dare to underestimate the enemy, they just circled around the carriage and waited for an opportunity.Only one of them said: "My lord said that when I saw the person in white clothes, I would cut off the head and take it back. It doesn't matter that the person in green clothes is missing arms or legs, but it must be captured alive."

Hearing this, Feng Yinran, who was sitting next to Fang Linyuan, couldn't help giving a "puchi" smile, raised his eyebrows at Fang Linyuan, and signaled him to stay in the car obediently, then got up and walked to the car door, opened the curtain in a grand manner, and rushed Looking at the killers who retreated vigilantly, they smiled and said, "I don't know, when did the fifth prince value me so much?"

Because there was a heavy snowfall a few days ago, even though the sun was high during the day, there was still some snow and ice left behind, reflecting the bright moonlight, and reflecting the youth in Tsing Yi, it seemed to be covered with a layer of white light, which made people feel a little unreal a feeling of.Seeing the young man's red lips and white teeth, the killers suddenly understood why their master wanted to keep alive.They were originally worried that there would be expert escorts in the car, but now seeing the appearance of the young man in Tsing Yi, they felt a little underestimating the enemy and couldn't help but relax.

Seeing Feng Yinran's frail appearance wrapped in fox fur, with a gorgeous scabbard pinned to his waist, and a blood-stained dagger in his hand, the killers couldn't help laughing, but they heard that standing still. A person who was a little closer to the carriage laughed and said: "Look at this little gentleman, I don't know whose family raised the rabbit master, he was born more handsome than the little girl, and he also learns how to dance swords, don't accidentally hurt him." myself."

The other followed up and said: "You dare to offend the person the prince wants, and you are not afraid that the little Xianggong will transfer you to Saibei to raise horses by blowing the wind by the prince's pillow."

The one who joked earlier waved his hand, "Why, why don't you like me to tell the truth? That yellow-faced girl of yours is not as good-looking as this rabbit..." Before he finished speaking, he felt the rumor Facing him, followed by a pain in his chest, he lowered his head and saw that the short sword in the young man's hand was stuck in his body for no reason, and he regretted that he didn't notice it at all, and died under his sword.

The remaining seven killers were all startled. Because the young man was born weak, they relaxed for a while. They didn't expect that before they saw his movements clearly, some of their companions died. They were shocked and angry at the moment, shouting and cursing and pointing their weapons at him. The boy looked at him warily.

Looking at those gleaming knife points, Feng Yinran raised her lips and smiled without fear, and instead raised her hands to straighten her cuffs. She had the noble air of a child of a family, and it didn't look like she was about to kill someone.The killer who had just answered the words instinctively flinched. There was a kind of arrogance in the eyes of this young man in Tsing Yi who treated them as nothing, but it made people look indifferent, as if he really treated them as dead people.These killers were either desperadoes or outcasts from sects. They had all lived the life of licking blood with the tip of their knives in the rivers and lakes. Naturally, they could understand the meaning in the eyes of the young man in Tsing Yi. They looked at each other, but they didn't dare to strike first.

"If you can't complete the task, you will die when you go back. It's better to fight hard. It's more fun." In the silence, a killer suddenly shouted, raised his knife and slashed at Feng Yinran who was standing on the car board.The assassin was extremely fast, and when he said the last four words, he was already in front of the carriage, and his attack was as strong as a strong wind, and Feng Yinran, who was protecting the carriage, had no way to retreat.The other killers were so shocked by him, they knew that they were only going to die, so they gritted their teeth and followed him and attacked the carriage. The cold knife light reflected the phoenix face on the carriage, which was like a ghost.

The corner of her mouth curled up in a mocking arc, Feng Yinran waved her hand, and several small finger knives hidden in the mechanism on her wrist flew out, and some of the killers who rushed over immediately fell down.Seeing that the blade of the first person was already in front of him, Feng Yinran shyly dodged sideways, and while returning his hand, he drew out the long sword worn at his waist and swung it out.

Shocked by his speed, the killer twisted his waist to dodge in desperation, and suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck, but Feng Yinran's finger knife followed him like a shadow, and suddenly turned around as if spiritually. Before he felt much pain, his artery had already been cut open, and blood gushed out like a spring.

The companions fell to the ground one after another, and the two remaining killers were startled and frightened, so they couldn't help but stop their movements and retreated together.This young man looked frail and deceptive, but his figure was like a ghost. He obviously didn't see how he moved, but the frivolous finger knife that came with the sharp sword made people unable to dodge.Finally unable to hold on to the torment, a killer with a leg injury plopped down on the ground, and shouted to Feng Yinran: "Hero, please spare my life, please spare my life!"

Feng Yinran frowned, the lingering smell of blood in the air made him feel disgusted from the bottom of his heart.He looked at the two killers who were begging for mercy and trying to take the opportunity to escape, sighed softly, turned around and walked towards the carriage, but with a flick of his right hand, the finger knife flew out, taking the lives of the two people immediately.

……Dividing line……

The corpses were lying all over the ground, messy, the undried blood merged with the plain white ice and snow, it was as if flowers were blooming everywhere in the shocking heart, with some bloodthirsty beauty.Feng Yinran brushed off the non-existent dust on her body, looked back at the scattered corpses on the ground, and thought of the various deeds of the Fifth Prince Fang Yizhen, and became more and more sure that this person would not be able to stay.

Fang Linyuan leaned against the car door to meet him, he had already changed into another set of white clothes, who was always happy and clean, except that his face was a little pale, he couldn't tell that he had received the almost fatal sword just now. "Yin Ran, aren't you afraid of the ominous rumors of killing?"

Feng Yinran looked up at him, but couldn't tell if he was serious about asking, "I'm not a member of the army, and I didn't accept his surrender, so what's wrong with killing him? Now that they saw my appearance, they decided not to accept my surrender." We can’t let them go back alive.” Although Feng Yinran has experienced 700 years of torment through the Duoshe and the underworld, Feng Yinran no longer dares to joke about ghosts and gods, but she is not too timid, let alone these people should never, never should. Focus on Fang Linyuan.As soon as he jumped back onto the carriage, he kicked away the corpse of the previous carriage driver and groom. Facing the two unaffected horses, who were lowering their heads and pawing at the grass roots under the snow, he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, "I've never tried Driving..." He was a little dazed as he spoke, he couldn't sleep in the wilderness in the middle of the night, right?

Seeing his embarrassment, Fang Linyuan gave a doting smile, knelt down and sat down on the car side by side with Feng Yinran, "Shall I come?"

Feng Yinran's eyes widened, and she watched Fang Linyuan take the rein in disbelief, and his movements were decent. "No, you were injured just now, how can you blow the cold wind outside the car?" After he finished speaking, he reached out to grab back the whip, which startled the two horses, and Fang Linyuan skillfully comforted them. "It shouldn't be too difficult, right? You teach me, just go back to the car quickly."

Unknowingly, fine snowflakes fell down and coolly fell between the eyebrows.Fang Linyuan pulled Feng Yinran into the car to avoid it, grabbed his hand and put it in his arms to warm him up.As soon as the sun set, the temperature dropped sharply, not to mention that it was already late at night, and even the exhaled breath immediately dispersed into a white mist with no temperature.Slowly brushing off the snowflakes that floated to Feng Yinran's head, what appeared in Fang Linyuan's mind was the time seven years ago, when he was in Rongshao, he was punished by Emperor Yin because of the crown prince's gesture of comforting Yan Pingyu. , Feng Yinran came in hastily in a snowstorm.The person in front of him seemed to have a deep-rooted fear of the cold, but for him, he often transformed into unscrupulous courage.

"Yin Ran," Fang Linyuan hugged him in his arms, and there was a vague shadow in his heart, which was indistinct and unpredictable. His face seemed to be his Yin Ran's, but his attire was completely different, which gave him a strange feeling. There was a feeling of loss, as if there was a sense of powerlessness that could no longer keep him by her side.Fang Linyuan opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say, so he could only call his name repeatedly, "Yin Ran, stay in Cangjue for me..."

Being held tightly in his arms, Feng Yinran couldn't see his expression, although she was a little depressed, she didn't struggle.The wind mixed with snowflakes was very cold, but Fang Linyuan's embrace was very warm, making one want to indulge in it for the rest of his life.He didn't say anything, but nodded almost imperceptibly.He never cared whether he stayed in Cangjue or not, but he wanted to stay by Fang Linyuan's side all the time, it didn't matter where he went.

The snow gradually fell more and more heavily, and in the vast expanse of whiteness, suddenly there was the sound of horses and wheels.Feng Yinran was taken aback, and quickly looked around, only to see a group of people approaching with two carriages surrounded by a brightly colored flag with three large characters floating in the wind: "Yao Shan Wang".

"It's okay, it's Fang Shou who came to meet him." Fang Linyuan squinted his eyes, as if blaming Yaoshan King for coming at an untimely time for disturbing the tenderness of the two.He got up and went back to the carriage to get Feng Yinran's veiled cap. Fang Linyuan put it on carefully for him again, but Fang Shou poked his head out from the carriage in front and shouted loudly from a distance: "Your Highness Seventh, I forgot to notify Ah Dian in advance, he is used to going to bed early, and I dragged him out of the bed, it was a waste of time!"

Before Fang Shou finished speaking, he let out a cry as if in pain, and retreated into the carriage.Needless to think about it, Song Dian, the county magistrate of Yaoshan City, was sitting in Fang Shou's carriage at the moment, daring to expose his shortcomings to outsiders in front of him, no wonder Song Dian went crazy.Feng Yinran looked amused, turned her head and said to Fang Linyuan: "It seems that Fang Shou has surrendered to you?"

"I think he and Song Dian are really overqualified for staying in Yaoshan. If possible, they should find a job for them in Beijing." Nodding his head, he acknowledged Fang Shou's intentions. Thinking about the situation again, he said calmly: "If Concubine Chen Guifei and his elder brother hadn't joined the lineage of Zuoxiang again, I wouldn't have been so eager to take Fang Yizhen's life."

Feng Yinran glanced at him, and heard him talk so coldly about the life and death of his brothers and sisters, she didn't know how much he suffered when he was young, so that he developed his temperament today. "Wealthy merchants in the surrounding cities have already contacted you properly, and you will have to go through the motions when the time comes. I'm afraid you will have to pretend for a while that you are struggling to support yourself under serious injuries."

While the two were talking, Fang Shou's convoy had already approached, rubbing his head while following Song Dian, Yaoshan Wang looked aggrieved, but he did not forget the proper etiquette. "Your Highness, it's getting late, let's go back quickly. I have prepared several well-known good doctors at my residence, and I have also purchased a lot of medicinal materials. I am afraid that if the smell of boiled medicine wafts out, it will cause troubles all over the city. Woolen cloth."

The wound on his chest was still in unbearable pain, and Fang Linyuan was extremely tired at this time. These matters had been properly arranged, so he didn't want to say more, so he nodded slightly to Fang Shou and Song Dian, and boarded another carriage with Feng Yinran .

The convoy escorted by Jingwei then returned to Yashan City. Fang Shou and Song Dian's carriages were still leading the way, but they put away the ostentatious banner and drove quietly against the wind and snow. . "A Dian," seeing that Song Dian was about to fall asleep with the swaying carriage, Fang Shou couldn't help but sniggered, and deliberately leaned over to chat with him, "Today the temperature is quite high during the day, but it's snowing again at night. At that time, the newly melted snow water froze into solid ice again, and the surface was covered with snowflakes again, so many people may be tricked into wrestling."

"That's right, even God is helping the Seventh Prince." Song Dian sighed in a daze, and after being disturbed by Fang Shou, his drowsiness gradually subsided a lot. "The weather has changed in the past few days, and what happened on the dam can only be called a natural disaster. Look at the expression of the Seventh Prince, this Fifth Highness, I am afraid that he will not live for three days."

Playing with the hand stove on the small table, Fang Shou smiled inexplicably, "If you make a mistake, you will lose everything. The Fifth Prince is destined to be unsupportable. He is not resourceful, but he is greedy. I can't blame the Seventh Prince for being ruthless." In the emperor's family, not to mention brothers, even between father and son, there are many people who turn against each other and fight against each other. He also got his life back from the seizure of the throne by chance, and he doesn't understand the difficulty and bloody inside. "It's just that His Highness the Seventh Prince took advantage of the death of the First Prince to return to the country, and now he wants to make a name for himself by the death of the Fifth Prince. The Chen Guifei family probably wish they could drink his blood and eat their flesh."

"It depends on His Majesty's mind and the ability of His Highness the Seventh Highness." Song Dian said as he lifted the thick curtain of the car window, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew in, and Fang Shou was so cold that his image was completely lost. He cried out and rushed over to close the window.Song Dian, who let it go, looked back at Fang Linyuan's carriage in the gap, not knowing whether it was right or wrong for him to condone Fang Shou's decision.However, no matter what, since I got on the thief ship of Seizing the Inheritance, if I want to get out easily, I'm afraid I won't have another chance...
