A Sword of Frost

Chapter 106: Jiangmen accident

Views:

In the late spring, the small northern town is still cool, the long streets are old, and the locust trees on both sides have just given birth to thin flower buds, which are only as big as rice grains.

The aunt who made tofu nao said with a smile that in half a month and January, these flowers should all bloom. By then, the streets will be full of the fragrance of Sophora japonica, and pancakes can be used to spread eggs, which is a delicious seasonal taste.

"Two guests, are you here to visit relatives?" Her movements were swift and she did not delay the chat.

Ji Yanran stood guard in front of the stall: "We're just passing by here, we'll be leaving after two days... Wait a minute, put more shredded meat and eggs in this bowl."

The aunt asked with a smile: "Is it for that gentleman? He looks like he came from a wealthy family, and he is used to eating good things."

Ji Yanran agreed, and looked behind her with a smile.

Yun Yifeng was sitting in front of the steamed bun shop next door, waiting intently for the next drawer of bean paste buns. When he got up early today and it was cold, Ji Yanran asked him to wear two more pieces, which were no longer plain white light snow gauze satin, but light yellow brocade—yes, the light yellow that His Royal Highness Xiao loved so much. Light, warm and flowing, the hairband is also the same color, with two long hairs hanging down, which makes the whole person more obedient and modest. No wonder my aunt regards him as a rich man traveling in the mountains and rivers. Even when pedestrians pass by, they can't help but look at it more and praise it for its good appearance.

The steaming red bean paste bun came out of the drawer, Yun Yifeng held it in both hands and took a bite, immediately decided to stay here for two more days. But before he told Ji Yanran of his decision, another group of people suddenly entered from the direction of the city gate.

Another group of very familiar people.

The man in the lead is riding a brown and black horse, about fifty years old, with a burly figure and a square face, which makes people feel awe at first sight. It is Li Qinghai, the current leader of the martial arts alliance. After what happened on Changying Peak last time, he actually felt a little guilty about Fengyumen. After all, if he had ordered a careful search at that time, he would not have ignored the tomb on the top of the cave, and let Yun Yifeng suffer those days of hunting for nothing. So this morning when he saw him sitting on the side of the road eating steamed buns, he reined in his horse, took the initiative to come over to say hello, and saluted: "His Royal Highness Xiao Wang."

"Master Li doesn't need to be too polite." Ji Yanran asked casually, "Why, are you going back to Longwu City?"

"Yes." Li Qinghai said, "I went to visit Master Ziyang a few days ago. The old man is getting old and his body is not as good as before."

Originally, he only planned to say a few words of politeness, and then he could leave, but Yun Yifeng had already asked the boss to cook more than ten bowls of fine noodles, and said enthusiastically, "Come, I'll treat you."

Li Qinghai: "..."

Ji Yanran also said aside: "The red bean paste buns here are pretty good, I'll go buy a few more for you guys."

"How can this be done?" Li Qinghai hurriedly said, "Just let the third son go, please sit down, my lord."

In a few words, this meal became a "must eat". Li Qinghai is used to people's ways of the world, so he naturally knows that his friendship with Yun Yifeng is far from being able to make His Royal Highness King Xiao condescend to buy bean paste buns in person. "For the sake of it, he took the initiative to say: "The head of the sect wants to ask about the Jiang family, right?"

"Just curious." Yun Yifeng didn't deny it, and personally mixed the noodles for him, "Leader Li went to Qingyun Temple to visit Master Ziyang, no matter what, he had to pass through Danfeng City, what happened to Sect Leader Jiang? "

Li Qinghai said: "It is said that he is ill."

It is said to be ill.

If these words come from the mouths of the people on the street, they can be justified, but the majestic martial arts leader, facing the matter of Jiangjia Villa, the number one sect in the world, can be vague to such an extent, it is obviously a bit too perfunctory.

Li Qinghai sighed: "The Fengyumen has insight into the affairs of Jianghu, and the master of Yunmen should be able to figure it out. It's not that the Wulin League doesn't care about Jiang's family, but it's really difficult to intervene. I did pass by Danfeng City a while ago, but it was only half a day's passing by." ’, everyone in the Jiang family is facing a big enemy, and the whole city is also heavily guarded, and they almost put an expulsion order on my face, so how can I visit the door?”

In Yun Yifeng's ears, these words are half-truths and half-false. It was true that the Jiang family did not welcome Li Qinghai, but even if there was no such reason, Li Qinghai would definitely not want to take the initiative to visit Jiangnan Dou. But this is also human nature, a pair of black-eyed foes who have been fighting for most of their lives, one of them is lying on the bed suddenly, life and death are uncertain, Li Qinghai did not hang a banner at the door of his house and come out to celebrate, it is already very restrained .

After all, the leader of the martial arts alliance is also a mortal, and Li Qinghai is even more mortal among mortals. His emotions and desires are very obvious, and he can pretend to be upright in front of others, but he doesn't even need to pretend in front of the master of Fengyumen.

After eating a bowl of noodles, the group left in a hurry and continued northward. Ji Yanran shook her head: "In the past few years, there have been fights in the rivers and lakes, and finally such a leader was elected?"

"Kungfu is high enough, seniority is deep enough, age is long enough, prestige and status are among the best, and the Hanyang Gang he belongs to is also a well-known decent family, who else?" Yun Yifeng said, "The only one who can compete, It's Jiangnan Dou."

"Lingfei doesn't like his uncle very much, and he rarely mentions about the Jiang family." Ji Yanran said, "Usually when I go home to visit relatives, I usually stay for two or three days before leaving, but this time I stayed here for more than half a year. We are preparing for the selection of the leader in May, and I don't know if we intend to take over by ourselves, or we have chosen a barely passable one at home."

The Jiang family has many brothers and many uncles, logically speaking, it seems that it is not difficult to find someone who is similar to Jiangnan Dou. Yun Yifeng thought for a moment, and said: "However, I have heard a rumor. When I was in Yancheng, I also mentioned a few words to Brother Jiang."

That was a few years ago. The disciples of the Fengyumen went out to work, and brought back a piece of news by the way—someone said that Li Qinghai had a personal relationship with Jiang Lingsi, the fourth young master of the Jiang family, and the friendship was not shallow. But there was no proof, at that time, I just left after listening to it, and didn't take it to heart

In Jianghu, this kind of semi-dark relationship is not uncommon. But I'm afraid that in the future, Jiangling Temple will use the power of the Wulin League to become an enemy of Jiang Lingfei. Moreover, Li Qinghai was so good, it was strange that he suddenly went to Qingyun Temple to visit the real Ziyang who had been ill for seven or eight years.

Yun Yifeng couldn't help worrying: "Why don't we drive for a few days, so that Brother Jiang won't suffer."

"No need." Ji Yanran broke open the sesame candy bag for him, cooled it and handed it over, "Lingfei's ability is not only in taking you to eat, drink and have fun, even if the Jiang family has rotted into a nest of snakes and insects, he can also Pick it up again and tidy it up again."

Yun Yifeng was suspicious: "Really?"

"Don't worry." Ji Yanran watched him eat, "Since you like this small town, let's stay for a few more days, and leave when we get tired of living here."

Yun Yifeng smiled: "That will work."

In this way, the topic of the two turned to other places, and they drank a bowl of hot soup together, very intimate.

Fairy couple, couple gods.

Jiang Lingfei said: "Ah!"

Jiang Chenchen was so frightened that he almost threw the food box in his hand on the ground: "What's your name?"

Jiang Lingfei tried his best to be calm: "How long do you plan to lock me up?"

Jiang Chenchen said, "At least until I become the new head of the Jiang family."

Jiang Lingfei was really puzzled, where did his 250 ambition and self-confidence come from. But scolding is not allowed, after all, the hands and feet are still bound by this bastard, and 90% of the internal strength has been sealed by silver needles, so I can only put on my brother's kind face, and said earnestly: "Even if His Royal Highness Xiao Wang agrees to borrow troops, you can really do it!" Lead those tens of thousands of horses, and fight big brother and them with great fanfare?"

"I have my own plan." Jiang Chenchen said coldly, "Do you want to eat? If you don't, I'll take it away."

"Eat, eat." Jiang Lingfei swallowed a big mouthful of rice, and said vaguely, "What is the layout, tell the third brother."

Jiang Chenchen stared at him for a while, probably feeling that the five-flowered iron zongzi posed no threat to him, and he also had a little bit of inflated mentality that is unavoidable for teenagers, so he said, "Although there are many Jiang family members, they are capable of competing for the head of the family." You can count them with two hands. After so many years of fighting openly and secretly, now there are only three forces left, the fifth uncle counts as one, and the elder brother counts as one."

Jiang Lingfei nodded: "Is there another party, me?"

Jiang Chenchen said, "Without you."

Jiang Lingfei: "..."

Jiang Chenchen said, "It's the fourth brother."

Hearing this answer, Jiang Lingfei was a little surprised. After all, Jiang Lingsi has been keeping a low profile all these years. In the eyes of outsiders, he should be the least threatening group of people. The teenager found the clue.

Jiang Chenchen twitched his lips, "How about it, didn't expect that?"

Jiang Lingfei flattered: "I really didn't expect that. Since you are so smart, why don't you tell me again, who is responsible for your uncle's strange behavior this time?"

"It doesn't matter who did it." Jiang Chenchen said, "The important thing is that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me."

Jiang Lingfei's teeth were gritted: "Isn't it? Uncle changed your diapers with his own hands back then. Now that he's been murdered, it's fine if you don't want to take revenge, and you still have a 'once-in-a-lifetime opportunity'?"

Jiang Chenchen's face froze at what he said, and he said angrily, "I'll save his life, and send a servant girl to take care of me!"

Jiang Lingfei thought to himself, changing the diaper can save your life, it seems that you are not bad at all, maybe you can save it again.

So he continued: "Since you don't think I pose a threat to the position of head, why don't you untie this chain and brother help you seize power."

Jiang Chencheng sneered: "You treat me as a three-year-old child, so easy to deceive?"

You are indeed not three years old, you are fifteen years old this year, and when you are fifteen years old, you will be the head of the ass, be careful not to be chewed to the bones by those old things. Jiang Lingfei swallowed all the swear words, and said earnestly: "When you become the head, do you want to be the leader in the next step? After that, do you still want to lead the heroes to usurp the throne and fight against the king's city? I don't understand, which one is it?" The bastard grandson is teasing you behind your back?"

Jiang Chenchen lifted the table and left angrily.

Jiang Sanshao, who was hungry, learned from the pain and summed up his experience. Next time he wants to scold his younger brother, he must at least finish his meal first.

I don't know what's going on in the northwest.

Although he joked that it was absolutely impossible for Ji Yanran to borrow troops, he was really worried that the other party would fall into the trap and casually lend 20,000 troops to that stupid younger brother, causing some irreparable disasters.

But when Third Young Master Jiang was hungry and full, and life was worse than death, his friend, who was so in love with him, was picking peach blossoms for his sweetheart, and even wrote a few sour poems.

Yun Yifeng laughed and said, "His lord is holding a peach blossom in his hand, and he is saying something like 'the branches of red apricots make a splash in spring'."

"It's fine if you think about it." Ji Yanran coughed a few times, and dismissed the topic perfunctorily. The two of them walked slowly into the depths of the peach forest together, until they had seen all the spring scenery, heard the spring breeze, filled their sleeves with the pink and white petals, and then rode back to the inn.

Until the night when I rest, there is still a faint fragrance in my ears.

Yun Yifeng loosened his long hair that was slightly damp after a bath, held his hand, and slowly wrote on the paper, the peach blossoms, the flowers are burning.

He also wrote that the peach and plum blossoms in the east of Luoyang City are flying around and falling into whose house.

Ji Yanran turned her head and kissed him on the cheek: "My family."
