Bewitched

Chapter 7

Then he backed away, as if the fog had cleared at sunrise, leaving only a drop of dew on the tip of a thick green leaf, filled with melancholy as if something had been lost.Nanyu dragged Yan Feng away from here, making sure that Hong Ying could no longer hear them, so she took off a silver bracelet on her left hand. The silver bracelet was made extremely delicate, hollowed out and carved with various patterns that Yan Feng had never seen before. .Nanyu gently wiped the bracelet with her right hand and pressed a few joints, then a Gu worm slowly crawled out from a small hollow hole, like a larva breaking out of a cocoon, shaking her body, and slowly opened its wings, It is a beige butterfly.Nanyu flicked the bracelet lightly, and the butterfly flew up. He put the silver bracelet back on his hand, and pulled down his sleeve to cover it, so he could no longer see the shadow of the young man from southern Xinjiang.

"When I talked with Hong Ying just now, I put a special insect fragrance on her body." He explained, "I guess what she said is only five points true. When she came here, Zuo Zhang should be in Mingyue Tower Branch, but now at most one day has passed, whether Zuo Zhang is still in Mingyue Tower, it is not sure. She can be sent to be responsible for the task of silver post, and her status in Mingyue Tower should not be low. If Zuo Zhang's position is transferred Now, someone will tell her. After I find an opportunity to let her go, this butterfly can follow her whereabouts by following the fragrance. If Mr. Yan believes me..."

Yan Feng stared at him, saw the young man talking, slowly frowned again, and interrupted him: "Of course I trust you, Brother Nan."

Nan Yu was stunned, Yan Feng interrupted him a lot, and the worry on his face was diluted a lot, he stopped talking, smiled lightly, and said: "Mr. Yan is so credulous, it's very good Lie?"

Yan Feng also smiled and said: "On the contrary, I have been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and no one has ever cheated me." When he was with Nanyu on weekdays, he was always embarrassed. Nanyu remembered that the person in front of him had made a name for himself in the Jianghu back then, and now that eight years have passed, his reputation has become more and more prosperous. He has gone through many conspiracies and tricks, swords and swords, and he said that no one has cheated anything from him, so then It is true that he has never been deceived. Similarly, when he says he believes in him, he naturally believes in him.

However, Nanyu was not happy, he smiled again, and stopped talking.He knew that this person had many friends, and he knew that he was willing to trust every one of his friends, but what Nanyu wanted was just to be his friend?He has always been very clear about what he wants.When dealing with the person he likes, he can bear to doubt him and look at him with prejudice, but the last thing he wants is to treat him like others, because this person has always been different in his heart.

Nanyu asked again: "I didn't use poison on her as I said before to lure him to tell the truth, and there is indeed a relationship between me and her, and Mr. Yan never blamed me, did he suspect that I was cheating?" ?”

"Yes, I don't blame, I don't suspect." Yan Feng replied, "What you asked is enough, Brother Nan."

"You...really..." Nanyu shook her head, not knowing what to say.

After that, the two went to find Jiangshe and discussed the specific plan.Nanyu didn't know martial arts, so naturally she couldn't rescue Zuo Zhang in person, so she stayed at Zuo's house.Jiang She's lightness kung fu is the best, and was sent by Yan Feng to follow Hong Ying who had been let go, and Nanyu told him the way to control the Gu butterfly.As for Yan Feng, he was going to explore Mingyue Tower alone.After that, the three of them did not mention each other's actions.

In the end, it was Yan Feng who brought Zuo Zhang back. What Hong Ying said was true, Zuo Zhang was indeed under house arrest in the Mingyuelou branch.Jiang She followed Hong Ying and saw that she had indeed returned to Mingyue Tower.The only puzzling thing is that the rescue of the Zuo Zhang family went so smoothly. Although Mingyue Tower tried to stop it, Yan Feng felt that it was more of an act.It must be known that there must be a strong watchman in every branch of Mingyue Building. Yan Feng was prepared to be injured, but he came back unscathed, and the watchman didn't make a move at all.The three sat together to discuss, Yan Feng was still holding his precious knife, tapped his finger on the scabbard twice, and speculated: "Perhaps Mingyuelou didn't get that thing from Zuo Langzhong at all." Intend."

"But Mingyuelou did send out a silver note to Zuo Langzhong." Jiang She said, the silver note was shown to them by Zuo Lizhong on the second day they came, and Mingyuelou did take action. Possibility of cheating.

"No." Yan Feng shook his head, "I mean, what Mingyuelou did was to make Zuo Langzhong give that thing to others and not keep it in his own hands. We only thought that Mingyuelou Acting unscrupulously, I thought he really had the guts to touch the court officials. Now that I think about it, we think it is too bold. Zuo Langzhong has been in the court for many years, and that thing has been kept in his hands. It can be seen that this This item will not be given to someone in the imperial court, and he was born in the Jianghu, has many old friends in the Jianghu, and he is not good at martial arts, in this case, who do you think he is most likely to give the item to?"

"...is a person in the rivers and lakes."

"That's right, but it may be much more difficult to grab something from a Jianghu person than from a court official, but it will definitely save a lot of follow-up troubles." As for the Jianghu person who will be entrusted with important tasks, who is most likely, Yan Feng didn't speculate any further, but he also knew that besides him, Zuo Langzhong had no better choice now.

"It's just that I have another question. In this case, Mingyue Tower only needs to send people to test it out, so why bother to rob Zuo Zhang?" Jiang She asked again, thinking of Hongying's disguise technique , hesitated, "Could it be..."

Nan Yu shook her head, and said, "I went to see it, and the face is not disguised, it should be the real Zuo Zhang." Only he didn't say a word, I'm afraid part of the reason for this matter is red In order to meet him, Sakura made her own decision, and the rest was probably to threaten Zuo Langzhong to hand over things directly.

Yan Feng glanced at Nanyu, but looked back before the young man looked over.He smiled wryly, and said: "I'm not the reincarnated Zhuge, so I can't guess everything clearly. Maybe it's to pinch Zuo Langzhong's weakness. If I can get things directly without bloodshed, it would be great. "

On the second day, Zuo Lizhong re-arranged the banquet in order to express his gratitude. This time, there was no accident and he finished the meal smoothly.After the meal, Zuo Lizhong really invited Yan Feng into the study for a secret talk.

Zuo Lizhong took down a water conservancy geology book from the bookcase. It seemed that this book was frequently read, so it was placed in the most conspicuous place within easy reach. Less small print comments.He put the book on the table, sighed, with a look of reluctance on his face, and tore off a certain number of pages in the book, a total of fifteen pages.These fifteen pages were soaked in the potion that had been prepared long ago, and then Zuo Lizhong tore the pages one by one, only to find that there was a folder among these pages, and the folders were stitched together. Only then did people see the original appearance of this picture.

Yan Feng raised his eyebrows, quite surprised, because strictly speaking, this picture can only be half a picture. If Yan Feng guessed correctly what was painted on it: "This is... a half picture of a boat?"

Zuo Lizhong nodded, and sighed: "That's right, it's half a boat map, and it's half of the last boat map drawn by Yiye himself."

There are many plains and few mountains in the country of Yan, and there are countless rivers and waterways. It promotes water transportation and is good at water warfare.The art of shipbuilding has always been sought after, and masters are often produced. However, even in the country of Yan, where there are many talents, the old man Yiye can still be praised as a genius in his life, and he was born to eat shipbuilding.He is No.1 who was bestowed the title of marquis by the imperial court just because of his shipbuilding skills. The Yuniang Boat he built for the Cao Gang is still the best boat in the Cao Gang. Twenty years have passed, and when he supervised the construction of Yuniang Boat, he had just passed his thirties.Such a person, the last boat map left during his lifetime, what kind of amazing and brilliant work should it be?Perhaps it was so amazing that at that time, there was no boatman in the Central Plains who could make this boat with enough craftsmanship.

Zuo Lizhong looked at the half of the ship map regretfully, and continued: "I have always wanted to hand over this half of the ship map to the Ministry of Industry, but because there is only half of it, I can't do it. I didn't expect that it was only a half of the ship map , It almost caused me and my wife and children to be killed." He looked up at Yan Feng with a solemn expression, and his face showed determination, and said: "Mr. Yan, this is a map of a warship. I suspect it is Yao Guo You want to seize this half of the ship map, use it to build strong ships and guns, and covet our country's land and people's wealth! I beg you, you must piece together this ship map, and you must not let it fall into the hands of thieves!"

Yan Feng straightened his back, saluted with the knife in his arms, bowed his head and solemnly agreed.

"Good! Good! Good! The Yan family used to be in charge of the Bafang Yamen, and the third master Yan is a young hero. I can't trust you more!" Zuo Lizhong said "good" three times in excitement, knowing what Yan Feng said just now Ceremony is already a very solemn etiquette in the Jianghu, which means that he is willing to do whatever it takes to achieve this, and he will sacrifice his confidant and shoulder morality, nothing more than that!

Zuo Lizhong hurriedly paced back and forth behind the desk with his hands behind his back before calming down, took a deep breath, and continued: "I am a close friend with Pan Haiqing, the leader of the Cao Gang, and this boat map was originally kept in the Cao Gang. Yes, it was after Haiqing knew that I had passed the Jinshi examination that he divided the boat map into two and handed it to me." He smiled wryly, "I also heard that the Cao Gang lost something a while ago, I'm afraid it was the Half a ship map. Thinking about it now, Hai Qingzao had the foresight, but I almost failed to keep this half ship map, I was incompetent."

"But you still kept the half of the ship map in the end." Yan Feng comforted, "Don't worry, Mr. Zuo, since you have entrusted this matter to me, I will definitely fulfill the entrustment." When he said this, naturally There is convincing power.
