Chapter 123: Two tigers fight

This kind of embarrassing thing should have been kept under wraps so that no trace of it would be leaked, but this time it was suddenly overheard by two unrelated outsiders. Yun Yifeng felt that Jiang Lingxu's heart must be full of fright, anger and turmoil, so with a very sincere attitude of making amends, he promised: "Don't worry, young master, Fengyumen will help find out the truth."

"I'll change my elder brother to a clean place first." Jiang Lingfei said, "In a few days, it will be the day when Uncle Wu will take over as head. There are many things waiting for him to deal with, so he shouldn't be able to take care of this end. Brother happened to be quiet for a while."

Jiang Lingxu shook his head: "Being the king or defeating the bandit is my own fault. I have nothing to say now. It's just your sister-in-law and a few children. I'm afraid I'll be in a state of anxiety all day long. If I'm stuck here for a long time, please ask my third brother Send them back to Yuecheng's mother's house for me, so that they can be resettled."

Jiang Lingfei nodded: "OK."

It was almost midnight when the group left the water prison.

Yun Yifeng probed: "If it was Jiang Wuye's plan to frame him, then the master will take over the grand ceremony in a few days..."

"There is no evidence, and Yu Mianmian is obviously just a pawn. After completing the task, he may be silenced. This alone may not be able to prevent Uncle Wu from ascending the throne." Jiang Lingfei said, "Besides, the Jiang family has been intriguing for many years. There are many more despicable and insidious methods, and the eldest brother may not be so upright, but this time he lost the battle. The choice of the head has always been to choose someone who is capable, not to choose a moral model with high moral character. To be honest, Jiang The family really can't find a moral role model."

Yun Yifeng asked: "Then should we continue to investigate?"

"Check." Jiang Lingfei said, "I'm not interested in whoever wins or loses, big brother or fifth uncle. But someone assassinated the head in broad daylight, and none of the hundreds of disciples in the room noticed, and the other party succeeded and left smoothly. There is an inner ghost coming to help, if this person is not found out, there will always be hidden dangers in the Jiang family."

As for who this "inner ghost" is, judging from the current clues, Jiang Nanzhen should be ranked first.

Yun Yifeng lit the small lamps in the room, and the side of the glass cover revealed beautiful hibiscus, spread on the screen, looking very happy.

Ji Yanran said: "Jiangnan Zhen found the blood ganoderma for you, I really want to sell his face."

"It may not be what he did." Yun Yifeng washed his hands, "Murdering the head is a first-class felony wherever it is placed. Jiang Wuye is a cautious person, and he should not take this risk lightly."

The hot water for bathing brought by the handyman was specially prepared by Yue Yuanyuan. Luoxu flower oil, which is popular among the young masters of the aristocratic family, is added in it.

Yun Yifeng lay lazily on the edge of the bathtub: "It doesn't sound like a decent fairy." If you don't soak in the pure heart, don't soak in the simple and simple, and soak in the fragrance, don't you want to be more nostalgic for the world of mortals, after all Incense, who doesn't like incense

For example, His Royal Highness Xiao Wang likes it very much.

He sniffed at his neck, wrapped one hand around his waist, and stroked his other hand from his shoulder to his leg. The palm was soft to the touch, and it was no longer like the slender bones left when he was sick. He smiled His eyes were also full of spirits: "Itchy."

Ji Yanran covered his eyes with one hand.

The water splashed out of the tub in waves, soaking the entire ground.

Didn't work overnight.

In the early morning of the next day, Yunmen Master, who had a sore waist and legs, became more and more convinced that he was indeed not a decent and good immortal.

So he purposely found Yue Yuanyuan, and told her not to add Luoxu flower oil to the bath water tonight.

"Then what are you adding?" Yue Yuanyuan asked innocently. Because everyone knows that the world is peaceful now, so the idle family members usually like to tinker with some exquisite gadgets, and they also suffer from wealth problems. thing. That's why Miss Yuanyuan felt that the Yunmen Master, who was more handsome and elegant than all the young masters combined, might also be quite particular, so she must not neglect her.

Seeing her cute appearance, Yun Yifeng thought of Ling Xing'er, and the habit of talking nonsense recurred again, so she answered seriously, let's add some green onion, ginger and garlic.

Yue Yuanyuan was surprised: "Huh?"

"Don't bother with him." Jiang Lingfei walked in from the courtyard, cursed with a smile, sent Yue Yuanyuan to do something, and asked, "Where is the prince? Someone from the palace is looking for him."

People from the palace.

Upon hearing these five words, Yun Yifeng felt a faint sense of foreboding. After all, according to the character of the current emperor, he should not write a letter to express his brother's miss and care when he is free, but it must not be that there is a new military situation somewhere.

The visitor only brought a secret decree, which was stamped with Li Jing's private seal.

Ji Yanran picked up the sealant and glanced at it hastily, her brows were half stretched and half knit. Shu Zhan is because what was mentioned in the letter has nothing to do with the military situation, and the world and the people are still stable; the knot is because someone informed Li Jing that Jiangnan Zhen had a close relationship with Lu Guangyuan back then, and even the traitor Xie's family, so he ordered Ji Yanran In any case, we must find out the matter, and before everything is settled, this person must not be allowed to become the head of the Jiang family.

The No. 1 sect in the rivers and lakes plays an important role in the entire martial arts in the Central Plains, and the stability of the martial arts is closely related to the stability of the country. Li Jing's worries are reasonable.

"Informant, who could it be?" Yun Yifeng asked.

"Brother Huang didn't say it clearly." Ji Yanran burned the letter, "The court's eyeliner is all over the world, and the number may be as many as ten wind and rain doors. It is not surprising to hear any news."

But no matter who the informer is, now that the imperial decree has been delivered to His Royal Highness King Xiao, the matter must be taken care of.

Ji Yanran secretly sighed. Yun Yifeng understood his difficulties, after all, he was able to be so alive and kicking because of Jiang Nanzhen. In Li Jing's letter, he also instructed to "find out in secret, and don't make a fuss." Now that there is no evidence, secondly, he owes kindness, and thirdly, he personally promised the position of the head. How to intervene is indeed a problem. Headaches.

And the only solution seems to be left...

Jiang Lingfei sighed: "Forget it, then let me do it."

Yun Yifeng breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you."

He also solemnly promised: "When I learn how to make wine in the future, I will definitely make a pot of Lizhou Zuichunfeng for Brother Jiang with my own hands."

Jiang Lingfei declined calmly: "There's no need to be so polite between you and me. Besides, the wine must be brewed for your sweetheart, so it will have a special taste. I'm an outsider, so I won't join in the fun."

"How can you be considered an outsider." Ji Yanran patted him on the shoulder, "Then it's settled, when Yun'er learns how to make wine, the first ten jars will belong to you."

Jiang Lingfei: "..."

On the other side, Jiang Nan Zhen had just met three or four headmen who came to pay a visit. On the way back to his residence, some disciples reported to him that Jiang Lingfei visited Jiang Lingxu at night and ordered him to be moved to Cuishanyuan for detention.

Green Cedar Garden, that is a dilapidated side house of the Jiang family, with spider webs and dust half a foot thick, everyone who passes by has to hold their noses, but compared with the environment of the water prison, it is obviously heaven and earth.

"Just let him do these little things." Jiang Nanzhen waved his hands, "I was also dizzy yesterday."

"There is one more thing." The disciple lowered his voice, "The third young master is going to hold a banquet at Yanyuesha tonight, and he has invited almost all the hall masters and young masters in the family, except the fifth master."

Jiang Nanzhen stopped suddenly: "What does this mean?"

"It's absolutely true." The disciple was worried, "I'm afraid the person who came was not kind."

When the rest of the family received Jiang Sanshao's invitation, their first reaction was also that the visitor was not kind.

Seeing that the Jiang family is about to elect a new head and continue to lead everyone to calm down, but there are new moths. There are young masters in the crowd who are really idle and only want to have fun, and they are about to cry out of worry. Tell me, what good is there in fighting for power? How can you be ashamed to beat you to death, how can you be happy drinking and fighting crickets, but the eldest brother is still squatting in prison until now, and he hasn't long memory

Long and short sighs, short sighs and long sighs.

In the smoke and moon veil, Yue Yuanyuan is leading the maids to arrange the arrangements, from the wine cups to the dishes, as well as the music played during the banquet, all are exactly the same as those in the palace of the royal city, and only 800,000 black dragon camps were brought here. They then painted the three big blood-red characters "You have a backer" all over their faces.

Such a menacing posture was enough to shock most of the Jiang family. Yun Yifeng said: "If it is finally found out that Jiang Wuye has nothing to do with the rebels, then we are really sorry for him this time." After all, the ceremony process has been rehearsed, and the martial arts alliance who came to congratulate wave after wave is also kind After exchanging pleasantries, when it comes to the critical moment of succession, this kind of trouble occurs, it is estimated that everyone will be the first and the second.

"If it turns out that we are wrong in the future, we will come to the door to plead guilty and make amends." Ji Yanran said, "Now that there is the emperor's order, we can only do so first."

Yun Yifeng nodded: "En."

The two returned to the inn for a temporary stay, and Yan Yuesha could not stay any longer, otherwise it would be too blatant to break her promise. But he was really worried. After all, no matter how big Jiang Lingfei's backer was, he would still belong to the imperial court. He was considered isolated and helpless in Jiang's family, so he quietly turned back and hid in the dark to listen for the movement outside.

The Jiang family is a family of martial arts, and the masters and young masters are naturally all strong in martial arts, so Yunmen raised his hand to promise that I will never expose my whereabouts again this time, otherwise I will wash my hands on the spot and wash it for you when I go home... No, go back The family eats, drinks and has fun with you.

Ji Yanran kissed him on the forehead: "It's okay, it doesn't matter if you get exposed, they can't beat me anyway."

Jiang Lingfei was passing by with disgust on his face.

When the lanterns first came on, the "feast" also kicked off.

The wine and dishes are all seasonal delicacies, and the cups, plates, and bowls are also exquisite and gorgeous. The moon and the moon lead many musicians in Yaleju, and the silk and bamboo orchestras are like water, which is melodious. All in all, this is a luxurious banquet that looks quite decent and rich, and should be enjoyed by the guests and the host.

But the actual situation is a little... It's hard to describe. Among the many guests at the scene, some were anxious, some were suspicious, some sighed repeatedly, some were hoping to perform a good show, and there were some ignorant playboys who had watched too many dramas and were afraid that Jiang Lingfei would fall in the middle of the meal Dozens of knives and axemen rushed in from outside the door "hula-la" - isn't this kind of thing often seen in court dramas

In short, you don't know the taste when you eat, and you don't know the taste when you eat.

Miss Yuanyuan was not very satisfied with the dead atmosphere, so she turned the strings of the qin and forcibly replaced the soft gag music tune with the cheerful and jumping "Welcome the New Year". In this joyous Chinese New Year atmosphere, Jiang Lingfei put down his wine glass and asked casually, what do you guys think about Fifth Uncle succeeding as head of the Jiang family

"Ahem!" Someone happened to take a sip of the soup during the banquet, and was suddenly frightened by it, pouring it all down the trachea.

"Second brother, why are you so careless." Jiang Lingfei complained gently, and said, "Then why don't you talk about it first."

Everyone gave this unlucky ghost a very sympathetic look.

The second young master of the Jiang family is named Jiang Lingsheng, and he has a little more ancestral martial arts practice than the second prince Li Jun. In other respects, he is really similar. This time he was suddenly selected to answer such a shocking question, his eyebrows almost knit into a knot, so he just said perfunctorily: "Whatever everyone thinks, I will just think about it, it's fine, it's fine."

"What do you mean by 'everything'?" Someone outside the courtyard asked loudly, the door curtain moved, but it was Jiang Nanzhen who led the disciples and walked in.

That's right, Jiang Lingfei's way of "hosting a banquet" didn't give him any sympathy, which can already be regarded as a blatant provocation. If he shrinks his head again at this time, who will he be able to convince in the future

Jiang Lingfei motioned for Yue Yuanyuan to stop playing the music.

The scene was deadly silent, the atmosphere was oppressive and dull, and some elders who were in poor health were trembling and about to pass out.

"Everyone in the family has a share in this banquet, so why did they bypass the Cangsong Hall alone." Jiang Nan Zhen said, "When did you become so far away from me?"

"Uncle Wu was joking." Jiang Lingfei frowned. "The Cangsong Hall has recently welcomed us, and it's very lively. How can you see my little scene. Besides, not everyone has a share. People in Honghu Tower don't Didn't you come either?"

He said this with a gun and a stick, full of gunpowder. During the banquet, everyone secretly complained, they don't understand why the Third Young Master, who never likes to go home and wishes to hide in the sky and live a happy life, suddenly has the idea of fighting for power, and the fight is so caught off guard. bedding.

"Uncle Wu is old, he should go home to take care of his life, take care of the flowers and plants and enjoy the happiness of life, why bother with so many trivial matters of the Jiang family." Jiang Lingfei stood up, and he stepped down from the main seat, "Filial piety is the first priority in everything, this kind of worry My nephew should take care of my uncle's hard work."

Yun Yifeng hid in the dark, and saw that Jiangnan Zhen's face had already turned black, but he still resisted the attack, and asked: "Where is Xiao Wang, why don't you see him coming to the banquet?"

"It's fine, what uncle Wu is looking for the prince to do." Jiang Lingfei smiled, "Besides, the court doesn't care about Jiang's family affairs."

This is a bit shameless to say, the imperial court doesn't care about Jianghu affairs, it's because the imperial court doesn't want to care about it. If the imperial court wants to take care of it, is it possible that the Jiang family can float to the sky under the king's land? What's more, the banquet tonight is full of shadows of the imperial court. For example, a dish of braised pork is not called braised pork, it's called 800,000, 800,000, what else does it mean

Jiang Nanzhen lowered his voice, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't make trouble!"

"Uncle Wu is thinking too much, I really am not causing trouble this time." Jiang Lingfei confronted him tit for tat, and said coldly, "I just want to calm down the incident as soon as possible and let the Jiang family return to number one in the world."

With a sound of "crash", Qi Qihan, a disciple of Cangsong Hall, unsheathed his sword.

The old man who had been shaking faintly during the banquet finally couldn't stand the exciting scene and really fainted. The family members around hurriedly called for help, and the servants from outside also rushed in. The scene was full of noise, and someone finally had the courage to persuade them in a chaotic way. If you have something to say, you might as well talk about it. You are all your own, so don’t fight. Killing kills the harmony.

"Don't worry, I won't confront Uncle Wu with swords." Jiang Lingfei said, "Well, from ancient times to the present, no matter which gang is in charge, the leader has always been a capable one. Why don't I have a competition with Uncle Wu in three days, Let's decide the outcome in an upright manner, how about it?"

Jiang Nanzhen looked at him for a moment, snorted coldly, and left with a flick of his sleeves.

The rest of the people at the scene understood very well that there was a difference in age between the two of them. How could a middle-aged man in his fifties compete in physical strength with a young man in his twenties? Not to mention that the third young master was born to be a prodigy in martial arts, he had fought all over Jiang's family before he was ten years old, and now he is estimated to be invincible in the world, how could the fifth master win him

It can be seen from this that the head of the Jiang family is afraid to be replaced.

The guests and hosts who ate this meal were not very happy. After everyone dispersed, Jiang Lingfei rubbed his sore and swollen temples, and said to Yue Yuanyuan: "Go and rest too."

"My lord and the master of Yunmen haven't eaten yet, and the young master hasn't moved his chopsticks a few times. I'm going to fry some bowls of vegetables and beef noodles." Yue Yuanyuan stood up, ran to the door and asked, "Young master really wants to be the head of the sect." Is it? You're not going to lie to me this time, are you? "

Jiang Lingfei smiled, but did not answer. Ji Yanran and Yun Yifeng also came out of the dark room: "Do you really want to compete?"

"Uncle Wu's strength lies in being a man, not in martial arts. He should know that he is definitely not my opponent." Jiang Lingfei motioned the two of them to sit down, "I guess tonight or tomorrow, I will go to the inn to find the prince, so let's think about it first." How do you want to deal with it?"
