Cold Mist City, Fuman Inn.
Ji Yanran was sitting in the front hall, with a cup of slightly scalding hot tea in front of him, with white smoke emitting from it.
After leaving the extremely cold and bitter place where the wind was blowing and the snow was howling, he was a little uncomfortable with this human courtyard, and even a dog barking in the corner was extremely rare.
"My lord." Ah Fu stood by and waited on him, and asked curiously, "There really were so many murders on the mountain? Did everyone die?"
"I'll talk to you in detail when I'm free in the future." Ji Yanran asked, "How about you, how is your life at the foot of the mountain?"
Ah Fu replied honestly: "Very good, everyone will follow the prince's order, no matter what the Yue family arranges, just follow them."
After Ji Yanran went to Misty Peak, Yue Mingwei personally moved the entourage of the palace and the disciples of the Fengyumen to a large courtyard, where they were entertained with good wine and food every day, and they would also invite the theater troupe from time to time. Singing opera to relieve boredom is very generous. As for the gloomy and lingering black clouds in the sky, I only infer that it will clear up in about half a month, and it will not be too late to go up the mountain to pick up people by then, so let everyone stay calm.
Ji Yanran joked: "It sounds like a happy life."
"What are you happy about?" Ah Fu complained, "I miss the lord every day, no matter how well the food and drinks are arranged in Yue's family, I don't know what to eat."
Ji Yanran asked again: "What about the disciples of Fengyumen?"
"They're quite peaceful, and every day besides eating, they are doing exercises." Ah Fu said, "It's just that they don't talk much and are not enthusiastic."
"Maybe it's because you think you talk too much, so it's not necessarily true that you're too lazy to talk to me." Ji Yanran put down the teacup, "Okay, someone is here."
Ah Fu put away his smile and stepped forward to open the curtain.
The person who came was a middle-aged man in his fifties, dressed in a brocade suit, but he didn't look like a rich man, but rather... a general with an army, and he looked exceptionally capable and strong.
"His Royal Highness Xiao Wang." He clasped his fists briskly and said with a loud smile, "Don't come here without any problems."
Ji Yanran sighed: "So it was you."
The opponent's name is Zhou Ming, who was originally the lieutenant general of Zhou Jiuxiao, a famous general of Daliang. It's just that this person, if he is too complacent, will easily get carried away. When the new emperor first ascended the throne, the situation in the court was already delicate, and everyone felt that it was not low-key enough, but Zhou Jiuxiao's only son was so arrogant that he was busy in the city on the same day. Riding horses, robbing civilian women, beating old people, and almost burning down a restaurant, the people were so angry that they rushed to the Yamen to file a complaint. He had to cover it up by offering bribes, but in the end he was caught by his arch-rivals, and together with the criminal evidence collected over the years, it was a trick.
For the new emperor whose foundation is not stable in the Golden Luan Hall, who is planning to take back his military power and kill a chicken for the monkeys to see, it is like being dozed off and someone is handing him a pillow, so there is no reason to let it go. So the imperial decree was issued on the same day, Zhou Jiuxiao was directly demoted from the second-rank official to the sixth rank, and finally demoted to a commoner, put in chains and sent the whole family to the army, and sent to Qiong Island in the extreme south overnight. Zhou Ming was related to him, so naturally he did not can survive.
Ji Yanran said: "On the 15th night of the first lunar month, there was a strange fire at the Yuezhou posthouse. Everyone said that the Zhou family had been buried in the flames. Now it seems that there is a plan?"
"My uncle and I naturally want to live." Zhou Ming sat opposite him, "And I want to live with the prince."
Ji Yanran smiled: "You are an important criminal of the court, and this king is the commander-in-chief of soldiers and horses, how can we compare them?"
"My lord, don't forget that I was also the commander-in-chief of soldiers and horses, and I also went through life and death for the country." Zhou Ming gritted his teeth, "But what happened afterwards? Wu'er just accidentally injured a few ordinary people. The emperor deliberately made things difficult, so how could he ruin the Zhou family?"
Ji Yanran blew on the tea in the cup, and said casually: "So, this time, Vice General Zhou came to me to complain about my grievances?"
"My lord is a smart man, why bother to go around in circles with me." Zhou Ming lowered his voice, "From ancient times to the present, whoever emperor can tolerate the loss of military power, I am afraid that the yesterday of the Zhou family is the tomorrow of the lord."
"Vice General Zhou is joking." Ji Yanran leaned on the back of the chair and teased leisurely, "I don't have a fat son in his twenties who is used to bullying others. Relying on my father, where can I find the scourge of copying the house?"
"The prince has no son, but he has 800,000 elite soldiers in Daliang." Zhou Ming ignored his sarcasm, but continued, "Everyone in Daliang has been saying these years that the Heijiaoying does not recognize the emperor, but only King Xiao .”
"Your Zhou family must have contributed a lot to this 'crazy rumor' among the common people, right?" Ji Yanran said, "I was still wondering a while ago, and there was a lot of noise in my ears, where did the rumors come from? , the crux of the problem lies here.”
"It's just a reminder." Zhou Ming didn't deny it, "The prince has made many military exploits these years, his prestige in the army has grown, and the blood of the orthodox royal family of Liang Liang is flowing in his bones. The emperor is suspicious and jealous by nature, and turmoil and banditry are rampant in Mobei. At that time, I would never meet a general leading the army, but now that the border has been solidified, my lord might as well guess how long this stable life can last?"
"Vice General Zhou." Ji Yanran put down the teacup in his hand, and looked closely at him, "You don't think you want to persuade me to conspire with you to usurp the throne?"
Zhou Ming asked, "What do you think the prince wants?"
Ji Yanran reminded: "This is a serious crime of losing your head."
"My lord holds a heavy army in his hand, and is used to being arrogant and arrogant. He was unrestrained in a place far away from Emperor Gao that day. I'm afraid he has already become a thorn in the eyes of others." Zhou Ming became ruthless, "If I don't wake up in time, I'm afraid my head will fall sooner or later."
"That's really impolite." Ji Yanran sat back, "Since that's the case, let me ask you, don't you think that if you build a house on a snow-capped mountain, and then close the door to kill a few people, this king will be obedient?" Are you obedient?"
"There is no mysterious mechanism in the Pavilion of Appreciating Snow in Misty Peak, only the simplest killing trick." Zhou Ming pointed out, "But even so, the prince is like a headless chicken, not only killing Mu Chengxue with his own hands, but even Even the master of the Fengyumen failed to save his life, he is really the most innocent one."
Ji Yanran sarcastically said: "The general is at the foot of the mountain, but he knows everything about what happened on the mountain."
"My lord was born a god of war, but compared with the one in court, his calculating mind seems to be more than a star and a half away." Zhou Ming hinted, "I'm afraid that in the future... he will definitely not be an opponent."
Ji Yanran turned around and raised her fingers: "Then what's the general's suggestion?"
"The prince has military power, and the master has strategies." Zhou Mingdao, "If we work together, we will be invincible."
"Master?" Ji Yanran looked at him, "Who is that, your uncle Zhou Jiuxiao?"
Zhou Ming said with a smile: "If the prince wants to know, the master is currently in Wangxing City, you will know as soon as you go."
Wangxing City is located in the Central Plains. It is one of the most prosperous cities in Daliang, and it is also the only way to go south from Wangcheng to the sea.
Zhou Ming continued: "If the lord continues to be hesitant, then the Buddhist bead relics will probably go to a foreign country in Nanyang."
"Oh?" Ji Yanran said, "Relic is also in Wangxing City?"
"Naturally." Zhou Ming promised, "As long as the prince is willing to go there, no matter whether we can cooperate in the future, the master will offer the relic with both hands to show his sincerity." As he said, he took out a golden silk lotus holder from the sleeve, It is the base of the stolen relic.
Ji Yanran continued to ask: "Then after going to Wangxing City, who do you want to find?"
"At that time, there will be someone to respond." Zhou Ming probed, "I don't know what the prince wants?"
Before he could finish his sentence, there was a long and loud signal outside the door, which crackled and exploded in mid-air with a sharp ending.
The little dolls on the street just thought it was New Year's fireworks, and were still applauding for another one, but Zhou Ming's face changed, which was a familiar signal to him, indicating that things had changed.
Ji Yanran raised her eyebrows: "Deputy General Zhou, what are you panicking about?"
Zhou Ming didn't care to talk to him anymore, so he walked out. The door curtain was lifted, and a row of cold lights and swords were brushed outside.
"My prince hasn't finished asking, why are you running?" Lin Ying said impatiently with half a bunch of candied haws in her mouth, "Go in!"
Zhou Ming knew something was wrong, and when he looked again, there were three people kneeling in the courtyard, with rags stuffed in their mouths, all of them were his subordinates. After seeing Zhou Ming, they all struggled with "woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" It was easy to spit out the cloth ball, and said in a panic, "Master Zhou, Mu Chengxue just single-handedly dismantled the Yue Family Escort Bureau and killed Yue Mingwei, leaving his head on the street."
Zhou Ming turned pale and turned to look at the people in the hall.
"Wangxing City." Ji Yanran smiled, "Is the general taking me there, or is this king going by himself?"
"Mu Chengxue is not dead." Zhou Ming said in astonishment, "Could it be... Yun Yifeng is not dead?"
"Except for your chess pieces, no one else needs to die." Ji Yanran said, "It's just a pity that Miss Liu, this king hastily made a move, and instead prevented her from killing Jin Huan with her own hands before she died."
Zhou Ming was at a loss, not understanding what he meant by these words.
Ji Yanran rapped on the table with her index finger: "The general's ability to calculate others doesn't seem to be very good, huh?"
Zhou Ming asked with difficulty: "What happened on the mountain?"
This was obviously a trap, and he didn't know when he swaggered in.
"Chaifu, Xiaosi, Qi Ran, Jin Manlin, and Jin Huan, your people are all dead according to your arrangement." Ji Yanran said, "I didn't understand what the purpose of all this was, but now it is clear I mean, I want to use these unsolved cases to make this king realize that he can only fight, but he doesn't know how to calculate. If there is a conflict with the emperor in the future, there is only one dead end, so he considers cooperating with you? Or, in case the king behaves too calmly in danger and finds the murderer immediately, do you still want to blow up the Shangxue Pavilion, so as to clear the obstacles on the road to rebellion in advance? But no matter what The consequences are nothing more than fear of Mobei's 800,000 elite soldiers."
Zhou Ming stared at him: "When did you find out?"
"The boy's legs are full of chilblains. Qi Ran said that he lost his clothes because of gambling, but the color doesn't look like an old injury." Ji Yanran said, "Besides, since the two of them know kung fu, the time to go up the mountain is too long. I guess it was because we had to wait for the rest of the guests to live in the Snow Pavilion before taking people to plant the explosives, so it was delayed for a long time."
The Qi family is a wealthy family in the Northeast, and they also run a fire oil business. Although this business comes with money, it is dangerous.
Chai Fu died in the explosives buried by the servant, and the servant died in the hands of Yue Zhihua.
"The night Qi Ran died, I stayed nearby. Except for Liu Xianxian, no one else went in and out of the Guanyue Pavilion, and that little girl was definitely not the murderer." Ji Yanran continued, "So there are only two possibilities left. It is a peerless master who comes and goes without a trace, such as Mu Chengxue who was tricked by Yue Mingwei to go up the mountain and deliberately disturbed my sight, or the murderer was in the Guanyue Pavilion, such as the Jin family and his son, Jin Manlin Did you do it? This is in line with your design."
"What design?" Zhou Ming asked.
"Make every dead person a murderer, and make things even more confusing." Ji Yanran said, "I admit, you are right, the bloody and eerie howling ghosts and wolves on the mountain are far more lethal than the torture in the execution room. If you think about it, if you were an ordinary person, you would have gone crazy."
Zhou Ming knew that he couldn't escape, so he readily admitted: "Yes, Jin Manlin killed Qi Ran."
"Why did you let Liu Xianxian go up the mountain?" Ji Yanran pressed, "She has nothing to do with you!"
Zhou Ming said fiercely: "She is a lunatic." I thought she was just a girl who had a crush on Yun Yifeng, but thinking about forcibly stopping her would make people suspicious, and felt that even if she went up the mountain, it would be nothing more than adding to the chaos, so I just took a look How Ji Yanran would deal with it, but she didn't know that it had some other purpose.
"Yes, she's crazy." Ji Yanran's voice was slightly angry: "She was driven crazy by the Jin family and his son."
At the beginning, there were indeed too many doubts about Liu Xianxian, the unreasonable admiration for Yun Yifeng, the disguise mask that was never taken off, sometimes considerate to the Jin family father and son, sometimes hard to conceal their disgust, The words of ghosts and gods every time a murder occurs do not seem to be for the purpose of solving the problem, but more like adding oil and vinegar, adding another layer of cloud and mist to the mystery, commonly known as muddy water.
Yun Yifeng once said to Ji Yanran that she didn't seem to want to go down the mountain at all.
So when Aunt Yu was poisoned, the two of them had a tacit understanding and put all their attention on Liu Xianxian, pretending to rush out of the Piao Piao Pavilion, but actually kept in the dark, and they saw the other party drawing a knife to attack.
"I regret it." Ji Yanran said word by word, "She should have killed Jin Huan."
I thought that Liu Xianxian was also part of the whole plan and would stop her, but I didn't expect that Jin Huan would go crazy without warning and suddenly rushed over to kill her.
At that time, Ji Yanran was standing behind Liu Xianxian. In a very short time, he caught a glimpse of the murderous intent in Jin Huan's eyes, and immediately realized that the other party was pretending to be blind, and there might be more secrets buried behind him, so he made a decisive decision. Secretly pressed a palm on her back, dispelling Jin Huan's deadly internal force.
Liu Xianxian was stunned on the spot, and Yun Yifeng took her "corpse" and left the courtyard logically.
That night, in the cubicle in Aunt Yu's kitchen.
Yun Yifeng melted the pills with hot water and carefully poured them down for her.
"Cough..." Liu Xianxian woke up slowly. After seeing the two of them clearly, her scarred face twitched slightly, and then her eyes were filled with tears, and she complained, "Why stop me from taking revenge?"
"The girl only said that she liked me, but she didn't say anything about revenge." Yun Yifeng continued to feed her water, "Running out to kill people without saying a word, we naturally won't stand by and watch."
Liu Xianxian tried to move a bit, but her whole body was stabbed with pain, so she had to go back limp.
Yun Yifeng put down the water glass: "Girl, you should be aware of your physical condition, right? In order to practice these years, you have touched the poisonous Gu that you shouldn't have touched, and your internal organs have been damaged. who are you?"
Liu Xianxian closed her eyes dejectedly, refusing to speak.
"The poison has penetrated into the lungs, and this time I suffered internal injuries. With all due respect, the girl may not be able to last for a few days." Yun Yifeng continued, "It is even difficult to walk, how can I kill Jin Huan?"
"That's because—" Liu Xianxian gritted her teeth, and wanted to scold the two for meddling in their own business, but accidentally affected the wound, and coughed for a long time.
"Tell me." Yun Yifeng patted her on the back, "If there is really a big grudge, I promise the girl that he will pay with blood."
Hearing this sentence, Liu Xianxian raised her head suddenly: "Really?"
Yun Yifeng said: "I have never regretted what Fengyumen promised."
"Okay, let me say, let me say." Liu Xianxian swallowed hard, suppressing all the blood and pain, and said with a flushed face, "My name is Mo Xiaoyu, the lady of the Mo family in Shuiyao City who was divorced by Jin Huan, It's my cousin."
The marriage of Jin Mo's family was arranged many years ago. Originally, they were well-matched, but later on, the Jin family climbed into the bodyguard bureau of Yue's family, and gradually became rich and prominent. When dealing with future in-laws, it was logical that they became a little more arrogant. That year when they came to the door to discuss the marriage, the father and son drank a few glasses of wine during the banquet. After returning to the room, they were in a daze and took too many ginseng tonics. Their blood surged up for a while, and they pulled Mo Xiaoyu, who was passing by unintentionally, back to the room In the middle of it, I thought it was just a servant girl, and I was ruined in turn.
When such a scandal happened, the Mo family was naturally thunderous. Master Mo was pedantic and timid, and he didn't dare to fall out with the Jin family, so he turned around and discussed with his younger brother, asking him to promise Mo Xiaoyu to Jin Huan as a concubine—even though it was said that Going out is like making people laugh, but the matter has come to this, what else can be done
Recalling this humiliating past, Liu Xianxian, or rather Mo Xiaoyu, said bitterly with tears in her eyes: "At that time, even my mother came to persuade me, crying and saying that if I refused, I'm afraid I might lose my life."
Yun Yifeng frowned, and comforted softly: "If the girl doesn't want to say—"
"Let me tell you! The sect master can only help me seek justice after listening to it." Mo Xiaoyu interrupted him excitedly, calmed down for a moment, and then continued, "I don't want to marry, let alone die, so I ran away. A year later, I heard that my cousin got married, and my elder brothers got married too, and they lived a very good life, very respectable."
The only one who is disgraceful is himself. In order to get revenge, he worshiped a demon girl as his master, and learned a set of powerful Gu poison kung fu, which caused his appearance to be destroyed and his internal organs to be damaged.
"But I don't regret it, I just want to finish my revenge as soon as possible so that I can go to the Underworld with peace of mind." Mo Xiaoyu said, "The real Suhui Gong Liu Xianxian was born by the head of the palace. She is very simple. I pretended that I was a poor person who was burned by the fire, and she believed it too, and told me a lot about herself."
Yun Yifeng asked: "Where is Liu Xianxian?"
"I knocked her out and hid her in the old grandson's house in Xiaojia Town. The master watched her for me and said that after the good thing is done, he will send her back to Jianjia City." Mo Xiaoyu's eyes became sad, "I disguised myself as her , it was effortless, because I was just like her before, innocent and ignorant of the world."
Yun Yifeng took the handkerchief and carefully wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.
"After going up the mountain, I have been looking for opportunities. The father and son are extremely vigilant, and they have to test the poison three times even after eating." Mo Xiaoyu said, "Until the day when the centipede came out to make trouble, I heard the movement, so I took the opportunity to go After entering Guanyue Pavilion, I found that Jin Huan was not there, and Jin Manlin was lying motionless on the bed, his whole body was cold, he was already dead."
Ji Yanran and Yun Yifeng looked at each other. It was just speculation before, but now it seems that Jin Manlin really died of poisoning
Unable to kill the old obscene demon with his own hands, Mo Xiaoyu felt so much hatred in his heart that he raised his knife and severed his head, then remembered that Jin Huan was still alive, so he couldn't expose himself too early, so he hurriedly left Guanyue Pavilion. I ran into Mu Chengxue in the garden.
Yun Yifeng said: "So you had an idea, pretended to be entangled with him, and deliberately caused him to hurt you, so as to clear the suspicion? After hearing the centipede say that there is a way to go down the mountain, you were worried that Jin Huan would escape, so you simply risked it in the middle of the night. Go out and chop those vines?"
Mo Xiaoyu lowered her eyes: "Yes."
"I'm really sorry for the girl today." Ji Yanran sighed, and said to her, "Let's recuperate here first."
"I can't take care of it anymore." Mo Xiaoyu shook his head, feeling a sharp pain in his lungs again, "Master also said that I won't live until three months, now it looks like it might be tonight."
Yun Yifeng hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Besides Jin Huan, does the girl have other wishes?"
Mo Xiaoyu shook his head, gasped and said: "No, I want to kill him, I, I just want to kill him, if one day he dies, please ask the sect master to burn a letter and tell me. Jin Huan... Jin Huan, he Just now he wanted to kill me like crazy, he probably recognized me, I have a big birthmark on my wrist, both father and son know, I always cover it up carefully, never thought he was pretending to be blind, bah! "
Yun Yifeng wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Mo Xiaoyu, she tried her best to say: "Please also put my dead body in the backyard, I have the lotus tattoo of the word 'Mo' of the daughter of the Mo family, Master Yunmen Since he mentioned Shuiyaocheng's resignation, he is suspicious and cautious, he must be afraid that this tattoo will reveal my identity and lead to his scandal, so he will try to destroy it."
"I believe everything the girl said." Yun Yifeng said, "Why-"
"Yes! I want to become a fierce ghost, bloody and bloody best, and follow that villain every day!" Mo Xiaoyu grabbed his wrist with a grim expression, "Master of the sect...Master of the Yun sect...promise..." She kept gushing out Blood, before he could finish his last sentence, his head drooped forward feebly, and he swallowed his breath completely.
And Jin Huan did as she expected, destroying the corpse immediately.
As the memories dissipated, Ji Yanran rubbed the center of her brows, and seeing that it was getting dark, she called Ah Fu and asked him to prepare dinner for the people next door.
Ah Fu agreed, and quickly went to the kitchen to order a few light dishes, and brought them to the south guest room together with a cup of nourishing chicken soup.
Yun Yifeng said: "Thank you."
"This is all ordered by my prince." Ah Fu helped to arrange the bowls and chopsticks, and asked again, "I heard that Mu Chengxue killed Yue Mingwei just now, was it also arranged by the prince and the master of Yunmen?"
"It has nothing to do with your lord, it's my money." Yun Yifeng helped Aunt Yu up from the bed, and said to Ah Fu, "When he went up the mountain, he didn't even have a silver ticket with him, did he make up his mind? Want to eat me?"
Ah Fu said: "That's not true. Old Wu is in charge of the accounts in the army. It is more difficult to dig out the banknotes from his fingers than to go to the sky. Take your time, I will go to the side to see who ...I heard that he is a tomb robber? This man has been asleep and hasn't gotten up, he must be hungry right now."
After he left, Yun Yifeng stirred the soup and rice in the bowl, handed it to Aunt Yu and said, "I have been in a coma for the past few days, and my stomach has been injured to some extent, Auntie has to eat less and more often."
Aunt Yu was lying on the bed, although she still had no strength in her body, her complexion was not bad, she absent-mindedly ate two mouthfuls of food, and finally couldn't help asking: "Then Miss Liu, no, Miss Mo, do you really have such a hard life?"
"Yeah, she is a poor person." Yun Yifeng said, "But Jin Huan is dead, and Jin Manlin was killed by her own hands. It can be regarded as revenge. In the future, don't be a bloody ghost, and quickly reincarnate into a loving parent. A good family."
Aunt Yu asked, "Did she kill Jin Manlin?"
Yun Yifeng nodded. Not long after discovering the secret of the ferret, he touched a tightly rolled note from the chubby dumpling with a letter from Jin Huan on it, asking why the other party sent someone to really kill his father, the murderer Whether it was Liu Xianxian, Mu Chengxue, or anyone else, the lines were filled with grief and fear, and even the handwriting was trembling. With this piece of information and Liu Xianxian's last words, it is not difficult to deduce what happened. In the other party's original plan, Jin Manlin only needed to take medicine to feign death, but it didn't count that there would be a centipede touching him that night. Going up the mountain, the bells of the entire Snow Pavilion were ringing loudly, and everyone wanted to run out to catch thieves. At that time, Jin Manlin had already taken the fake death medicine, and Jin Huanruo had been staying in the Guanyue Pavilion. Obviously he couldn't explain it afterwards, so he ran out with him. He wanted to put on a show, but he was blinded by the poisonous smoke from the centipede.
Aunt Yu panicked and said: "If you listen to it, you will commit crimes."
"When Jin Huan heard the news of his father's death that night, he thought it was just an arranged suspended animation. To comfort him, I just said that Jin Manlin's body was intact, and he felt more at ease." Yun Yifeng said, "I Guessing that his eyesight recovered in the middle of the night, he immediately went to the corridor to see his father. Unexpectedly, he was decapitated. He was overwhelmed with grief and shock, and accidentally made a sound. Later, he was worried that he would wake me and the prince, so he simply Pretending to be bewitched, holding his head, pushing and screaming, wept for a long time."
Aunt Yu's face turned pale: "Are these people crazy?"
Yun Yifeng said: "Well, it's crazy."
The tragic death of Jin Manlin finally made Jin Huan vaguely realize that the whole thing seems to be a circle, many people are part of it, but they don't know each other's existence, more and more people died, the next... the next one will be... who is it
At that time, Yun Yifeng and Ji Yanran didn't know who would be the next one. In order to protect Aunt Yu, they made her take the drug and created bruises on her neck. Cut off the neck alive", completely dispelling Jin Huan's suspicion.
Later, the self-conscious disappearance of the ground centipede, and Mu Chengxue's fake death—the method was taught by Yun Yifeng. More, very realistic.
Aunt Yu thought for a while, then continued to ask: "Who killed Jin Huan? Where is Mr. Yue?"
In the next room, Zhou Ming said at the same time: "Then, has the prince deduced who killed Jin Huan?"
Ji Yanran said: "The dead Chaifu. You guys set up a scheme to lure him to turn over that pile of dry firewood?"
He thought that Lao Zhang was really just an innocent dead man, until later he found a very thin silk thread next to Jin Huan's body. There are hidden weapons buried in the woodpile, and they are hidden very delicately. After the poisonous knife is ejected, the mechanism will be pushed back and fall apart, turning into a pile of small waste wood, which is difficult to be found.
Yun Yifeng is also slowly explaining: "If there is no such anomaly as Miss Liu, then according to the other party's arrangement, it will be Xiao Si who kills Chai Fu, Yue Zhihua kills Xiao Si, Jin Manlin kills Qi Ran, and Jin Huan feeds him. Jin Manlin pretended to be dead, and finally the dead Chai Fu killed Jin Huan. Jin Huan died, and Jin Manlin who pretended to be dead was left unattended, so naturally he died. There was a missing step in the middle, so I guess Yue Zhihua was killed by Qi Ran Then hide it later, this happens to be a closed loop."
Aunt Yu was dumbfounded, and asked after a long time, "Tutu... What is it?"
"Yeah, what are you trying to figure out?" Yun Yifeng served another bowl of hot soup for her. Originally, he wanted to say that the person wanted to be bloody, cruel, clueless, and full of fog, so that he successfully drove the complicated situation to Ji Yanran. , but he was afraid of scaring Aunt Yu, so he just said, "The person behind the scenes may really have a brain problem."
There was a pleasant and comfortable yawn outside the door, and Ah Fu greeted enthusiastically: "This thief, are you awake?"
Yun Yifeng smiled, and said to Aunt Yu: "Auntie eat well first, I'll go outside and have a look."
The ground centipede was leaning on the fence, still lamenting his fate. When he woke up on the mountain the day before yesterday, he was not guarded by Hail and Snow Wolf, but the number one killer in Jianghu. Abandoned, I am very happy in my heart. This wave of shaking his head and brain was enjoying himself, when he turned around, he saw Yun Yifeng leaving the room, and hurriedly flatteringly said: "Master Yunmen, let's eat."
Yun Yifeng handed him a clear green cat's eye: "This time, thank you for carrying aunt down the mountain."
"Master Yunmen is very polite, what is there to thank for that." The centipede clasped his fists in full bloom, "If it's okay, then I'll go first. We will see each other again if we are destined to meet again." These words are full of pride, true He looks like a chivalrous man, but he hasn't changed his old habit of walking, leaving the gate open, trying to climb over the wall and climb trees. His back is like an old monkey in the mountains, and he disappears into the overlapping eaves in a blink of an eye.
Ji Yanran caught a glimpse of someone outside the window from the corner of his eye, so he ordered: "Put this person down first, watch carefully, and don't leak any news."
"Yes!" The subordinate took the order and dragged Zhou Ming out of the door. Yun Yifeng watched him all the way, and tiptoed to see where he was going to be locked up, but suddenly someone pinched the back of his neck, and he flinched in shock: "Hey!"
"Come in!" Ji Yanran pulled him into the room, put his hands on his shoulders and pressed down, his voice was furious, "Sit here and tell me honestly, why did you change the plan without authorization, what happened to the fire?" What's going on?"
Yun Yifeng felt that she was very innocent: "It was not careful."
The room was eerily quiet.
Neither of them spoke.
The master of Fengyumen has nothing to say because of a guilty conscience.
His Royal Highness Xiao Wang was completely stunned by anger.
After a while, Yun Yifeng took the initiative to ask: "After seeing the fire scene, did the prince cry loudly, his heart was ashamed, he was in pain, and he regretted his injustice—"
Ji Yanran pinched his mouth with two fingers: "No."
Yun Yifeng sighed with difficulty in the gap.
Lang's heart is like iron, His Royal Highness Xiao Wang.
Ji Yanran didn't know whether to laugh or cry, lost her anger, let go of her hands and said, "The acupoints are just for show, and you can release them with force, and there is Mu Chengxue protecting you in the dark."
At that time, although Mu Chengxue had been falsely "killed" according to Jin Huan's layout, and Jin Huan was already dead, but the two were not sure whether the other party really wanted to refine Gu, leaving only the last person in Misty Peak. Wan Ye had long dreams, so Yun Yifeng planned to lie down on his own initiative. Considering that there may be other eyeliners on the mountain, and it is difficult to hide their eyes even on the wall of the bedroom, the two acted very seriously. At this time, there happened to be another night of blizzard that brought out Yue Zhihua's body. The battle is also more logical.
Ji Yanran's acupressure trick made him extremely weak, and it seemed to be very powerful, but it was easy for Yun Yifeng to solve it, but he didn't expect that he would sit down with a candle on his buttocks - thinking about it later, he shouted for help, making the other party think It's good that I have already been buried in the sea of flames, so I don't have to wait for Ji Yanran to come back, and then "break" with him and fight.
When the raging fire ignited, Yun Yifeng, Mu Chengxue, Aunt Yu and Earth Centipede had already taken advantage of the chaos and moved to the hiding place. Sure enough, everything that happened later was as expected, Yue Mingwei went up the mountain very quickly, Ji Yanran also successfully cleared Hong Tianlei, paving the way for those who came down the mountain later.
Ji Yanran said: "According to the results of the interrogation just now, Jin Huan is actually the last step. They didn't intend to ambush you, and they didn't intend to stir up conflicts between you and me. As long as they receive the news of Mu Chengxue's death, they will go up the mountain , it was an extra day of acting in vain."
Yun Yifeng taught him: "It's always right to be more careful when you are in the Jianghu." After thinking for a while, he said: "The killer who keeps his promise has this advantage, and he will definitely do things after receiving money, whether it is pretending to be dead or acting or killing. Yue Mingwei, everything is done very cleanly and beautifully."
"Even if you don't pay the money, Mu Chengxue will most likely take the initiative to go to the Yue Family Escort to settle the score." Ji Yanran said, "The number one assassin was tricked into going to the snow mountain, and he didn't get a penny. , it’s more than embarrassing to spread the word.”
Yun Yifeng poked at him: "Have you found out who the other party is? That's a shrewd man. He doesn't want to kill you, and he doesn't even pay the killer any money. It saves money and hassle, and is stingy and wicked."
"I only asked about Zhou Jiuxiao. He was a general under the late emperor and was later dismissed and exiled. As for whether there are others behind him, it's hard to say for the time being." Ji Yanran said, "The other party asked me to meet in Wangxing City, and the relic is also there. "
"Wangxing City, that's a good place." Yun Yifeng nodded, stood up and said, "The prince is busy first, I'll go and see Mu Chengxue, he should be back."
Ji Yanran was puzzled: "Come back? He just sent someone to bring a message, saying that the things he explained have been completed, so he will leave."
Yun Yifeng's eyes widened: "So farewell? He's gone?"
Ji Yanran said: "Yes."
"Then what about my mink?" Yun Yifeng thundered, "I want to take care of Aunt Yu, so where is the fat mink that I asked him to take with me temporarily?"
Ji Yanran patted him on the shoulder: "I didn't mention it at all."
Yun Yifeng: "..."
On the official road outside Hanwu City, a fine horse was galloping, and the mountain breeze was blowing gently, blowing the snow veil on the face of a man in white, his brows and eyes were lazy, and his appearance was unparalleled.
And in his arms, there was a silver-white ferret lying on its stomach, sleeping soundly, with shiny fur, a big heart and a fat body.
The snowflakes were scattered, and the sound of lively firecrackers was faintly heard from the villages along the way.
It's almost New Year's Eve.
