Later, everyone met again in the dining room. It was getting dark outside, and Aunt Yu was lighting a fire to cook a sauerkraut pot. She looked a little restless, and she almost burned her hands with charcoal when adding firewood.

"Auntie, be careful." Yun Yifeng hurriedly supported her, and said with concern, "What's the matter, but you don't feel well?"

"Master Yunmen." Aunt Yu was uneasy. Seeing that no one was paying attention, she asked in a very small voice, "Did there be an explosion in the mountain this morning? I also saw a big puff of black smoke. Did something happen to Lao Zhang?" gone?"

"No." Yun Yifeng helped her put the stove away, and then instructed, "We are still investigating what exploded, so don't think about it, auntie. But you should pay more attention in the future, and don't leave this Snow Pavilion alone. Remember?"

Aunt Yu nodded again and again: "Okay, I won't go anywhere, just stay in the kitchen."

The ingredients in the pot were gurgling and cooking extremely hotly, which was in stark contrast to the silence in the room. Compared with drinking and laughing at the first day, today's meal is more to fill your stomach, so even if you don't have any appetite, you have to close your eyes and swallow hard. After all, if someone really kills Misty Peak in the middle of the night and fights to break through It's also exhausting.

"Ahem!" Qi Ran choked on the hot soup, put down her chopsticks and coughed for a long time.

Liu Xianxian patted him on the back, sighed and said, "It won't work if we continue like this, let's think of a way."

"There are booming thunders everywhere on the mountain, which can only show that the other party does not want us to leave Misty Peak." Jin Huan said, "But what is the purpose of trapping us here, but we have no way of knowing. Since we are at a loss, how can we find a solution? ?”

Yue Zhihua's status was embarrassing, and he couldn't come up with any amazing and brilliant suggestions, so he could only sit with his head slumped, looking eagerly at Yun Yifeng, looking extremely unlucky and pitiful.

Yun Yifeng said: "If the other party does not show up for a long time, we can first speculate on our own to see who caused the trouble."

Jin Huan didn't understand what he meant: "How to speculate?"

"Walking in the rivers and lakes on weekdays, it is inevitable to make enemies with others. Everyone may wish to think about what kind of enemies they have had." Yun Yifeng said, "I'm sure we can find out who is behind the scenes."

Jin Manlin shook his head when he heard the words and said: "Of course there are enemies, but at most they will never communicate with each other, or they will make some small stumbling blocks secretly. How can there be any reason to come to this Misty Peak to carry out an assassination? It's flattering me."

Liu Xianxian retorted: "You can't say that. People in the rivers and lakes will have a lot of black-hearted people, and they will get angry at any time. Just as the master of Yunmen said, we should tell the past separately. Let's analyze them one by one. Anyway, being trapped in this snowy lonely mountain with nothing to do anyway is better than staying alone in the courtyard, feeling uneasy."

Ji Yanran echoed: "I also agree with Master Yunmen's proposal. Everything in this world has a cause and an effect, and there is absolutely no reason to kill people for no reason. Why don't Miss Liu come first."

"Why do you want me to come first?" Liu Xianxian was unhappy, and said softly, "You men have to come first for this kind of thing. Head Jin is the oldest, so I think it's good to start with him."

Although Jin Manlin does not have much status in the arena, he is an elder after all. At this time, he was called around twice by a little girl, and he inevitably showed displeasure. Bar."

Yun Yifeng smiled: "Brother Jin please."

Jin Huan recalled: "I have always been kind to people, and I seldom argue with my friends. When it comes to hurting others, the most serious one was three years ago, when I accidentally injured brother Yue Ling's right leg during a martial arts competition. It is the root of a lifetime of illness."

"Yue Ling, is Uncle Yue's son?" Qi Ran asked.

Jin Huan nodded: "It's him."

When the Qi family boy heard this, he immediately opened his eyes and shouted: "Isn't that right? You hurt his son, no wonder he tricked you into going up the mountain and then bombed him with thunder."

"Presumptuous!" Qi Ran scolded, "The master is talking, why are you interrupting? It's really getting more and more unruly, hurry up and apologize to Brother Jin!"

"I... I'm worried about my son, and I want to leave this ghost place sooner." The Qi family boy muttered in a low voice, kneeling down unwillingly to Jin Huan, "Master Jin, I said something wrong, please sir Don't remember the villain, please forgive me."

Jin Huan waved his hand, signaling him to stand up, and said to Yun Yifeng: "Because of this incident, I feel extremely guilty. Fortunately, Uncle Yue's family is magnanimous and didn't care too much."

"I've heard about it before." Yun Yifeng said, "I heard that in order to treat Yue Ling's injuries, the Jin family almost lost most of their wealth and searched for famous bone-setting doctors all over the country. The head of Yue was deeply moved. Instead of being alienated, they got closer."

Jin Huan sighed: "It's a pity that no matter how much money is spent, Brother Yue's leg can't be completely recovered. I really feel sorry for Uncle Yue."

Yun Yifeng asked: "Is this the only thing?"

Jin Huan said firmly: "Only this matter."

Yun Yifeng said: "But I have heard one more thing. Brother Jin made a marriage contract with Miss Mo's family in Shuiyao City a few years ago, but then suddenly canceled it. I don't know why?"

Before Jin Huan could answer in the future, Liu Xianxian laughed "puchi" beside him, and said with great interest: "I thought Fengyumen only cared about the affairs of the Jianghu, so it turns out that even these entanglements of children's love should be inquired about one by one. ?"

Yun Yifeng said: "At that time, someone from Fengyumen happened to be working in Shuiyao City, and he mentioned a few words when he came back."

Jin Huan was a little ashamed: "I really didn't expect that this matter would reach the ears of the master of Yunmen. Indeed, I had a marriage contract with the Mo family, and I went to Shuiyao City with my father to set a specific wedding date. Later, I found out that Miss Mo already had a sweetheart, and she refused to marry into the Jin family. Since I won't force others, I canceled the engagement, it's just a trivial matter."

"That's it." Yun Yifeng said, "Brother Jin is the beauty of an adult, so it's really not a grudge, but a kindness."

"That's all for my business." Jin Huan looked at Liu Xianxian, "Girl, please."

"Me?" Liu Xianxian said, "In Suhui Palace, the master loves me the most, so I arouse the jealousy of many classmates. They usually huddle together to exclude me, steal my gold hairpin jewelry, and tickle my bath water." Fan, it’s very hateful to do bad things.”

Yun Yifeng smiled and said: "It's all a girl's little trick, don't you need to chase them all the way to the northeast?"

"Bah, they want me to die, but they don't have the ability to reach the sky." Liu Xianxian said, "As for the grievances in the world, this is the first time I go out alone, and I don't recognize anyone."

Her suspicion was the smallest, so everyone didn't ask any more questions. The next one was Qi Ran. He thought about it for a long time, and what he said was nothing more than grievances in a big house. The first wife hated the second aunt, and the third aunt's son put snakes in the fourth aunt's room. After he found out, he reported it to his father. Exciting is quite exciting, and it is quite appropriate to talk about after dinner, but it obviously has little to do with the current weird situation. Qi Ran's servant was even less talkative, he had just been reprimanded, and this time he was being wronged so badly that he couldn't even speak well.

When it was Yue Zhihua's turn, he said: "I grew up in an escort agency since I was a child, and I have never even been out of Cold Mist City. It was not until the year before last that I took my first escort outside the customs. There are many uncles and children, and big business has never been my turn." On my head, I can only pick up some meat scraps that my cousins don’t want, and barely fill my stomach. Not to mention offending powerful people, it’s even hard to meet them.” What he said was obviously saying that he had not met with him. People have grievances, but they say something unexpected, but they can't wait to nail it on their foreheads. He has the title of young master, but in fact he is only the adopted son of the Yue family, and he is not close to his uncle.

Jin Manlin suddenly said: "Receiving Master Yunmen, it should be considered a good job for the Yue family, right?"

"Ah?" Yue Zhihua was taken aback for a while, but didn't react for a while. It was Ji Yanran who reminded him: "Since brother Yue is not valued at home, why did such a beautiful job as hosting the master of Yunmen fall on you?"

Yue Zhihua hesitated for a moment, and after pondering the meaning of these words, what fell on him could not be a good job at all, he said with a bang: "So it is really uncle's intentions? That's why he arranged for me to go up the mountain, because of death... Is death in vain?"

Everyone agreed, only Liu Xianxian saw that he was really broken, so she kindly said: "At least it shows that you are innocent too, let's drink some water first. By the way, Ji Shaoxia, you haven't said anything yet."

Ji Yanran put down the teacup: "I'm just a businessman, my family has a lot of wealth, my father is kind, my son is filial, my brother is kind and my brother is respectful, and I have to open a warehouse every year to give food to the poor. It is possible to do good deeds and accumulate virtue. As for enmity, it is absolutely impossible."

Jin Manlin said: "May I ask, I don't know what Ji Shaoxia and Master Yunmen are looking for when they go to the northeast together this time?"

Ji Yanran said without changing expression: "Seven-colored glazed ginseng."

Yun Yifeng: "..."

You make it pretty fast.

Liu Xianxian was surprised: "This Shenguang is great just by hearing the name, does it really have seven colors?"

Ji Yanran replied: "I've never seen it before. It's just because it's rare that I wanted to find it to celebrate my mother's birthday. Now I haven't even dug up a single ginseng beard. It would be too early to say that it caused death." .”

Liu Xianxian nodded, and said again: "Here, Master Jin, we've finished talking, now it's your turn."

Jin Manlin really couldn't figure out why this little girl was always staring at her today, but she couldn't seriously attack her, so he said, "Except for the small conflicts when I was walking the darts, I have been upright and bright in my life, and I have never been sorry to anyone."

Liu Xianxian said dissatisfied: "Master Jin, are you being too perfunctory? There is no one in this world who can sit upright all his life. I have never seen anyone."

Jin Manlin said: "Then from today, you have seen it, how?"

Seeing the smell of gunpowder in his words, Liu Qianxian hid behind Yun Yifeng, and said in a low voice: "Well, I've seen it, I'll praise it when I meet people in the future? What are you doing so fiercely? I'm old, why are you still fussing with me, a pretty little girl, Master Yunmen..." At the end of the sentence, she deliberately prolonged the ending, her tone was already coquettish, if there was no one else in the hall, she might have hid in Ruyi Langjun's arms long ago to go.

Yun Yifeng dodged to the side calmly, but Liu Xianxian insisted on sticking up, tugging on his jade pendant and refusing to let go. Although the sons and daughters of the world are not as reserved and dignified as the ladies, few of them can be so enthusiastic and proactive. Jin Manlin was quite old, and he really couldn't understand the demeanor of the Demon Cult, so he took Jin Huan to leave first. Immediately afterwards, Qi Ran also returned to Baimei Pavilion, Yue Zhihua ran faster, Ji Yanran was the only "person in the way" in the dining room, Liu Xianxian said bluntly, "Why don't you leave?"

Ji Yanran looked down and said innocently: "I want to go."

Yun Yifeng was holding his sleeve tightly with one hand, the knuckles between his thin white fingers were visible, and he was about to tear off the piece of fabric just by looking at his posture.

Liu Xianxian stomped her feet and said, "Master Yunmen! What are you trying to do with him?"

"I'm talking about this girl." In order not to wear ragged clothes in the cold winter months, Ji Yanran had no choice but to go out herself, and managed to snatch back the bright moon pendant, "Have you never liked a man before?"

Liu Xianxian was disdainful: "Except for Master Yunmen, the rest of the men are all dirty and smelly, who wants to like them."

Ji Yanran suddenly realized: "No wonder."

Liu Xianxian asked, "What do you mean?"

Ji Yanran taught her carefully: "Whether it's a boy rolling in the mud or a fairy-like Yunmen master, they all like quiet and gentle girls. They are too barbaric. I said last time that this is not a bandit girl." To snatch a kiss, the more powerful you are, the better off you will be."

Liu Xianxian glanced at Yun Yifeng, seeing that he didn't seem to have any intention of refuting, so she said angrily, "Oh."

Ji Yanran had a good attitude: "Then can we go back now?"

"I still have something to say." Liu Xianxian looked out the door, lowered her voice and said seriously, "You should pay more attention to the Jin family and his son. At noon, I saw them sneaking around, as if they were plotting something. matter."

Yun Yifeng frowned: "Sneaky conspiracy?"

"Yeah." Liu Xianxian said, "I dare not approach, I didn't hear anything, but judging by their expressions, there must be something wrong."

"Thank you for reminding me, girl." Yun Yifeng reminded, "There are a lot of weird things in this mountain, you have to be more careful."

After Liu Xianxian left, Ji Yanran straightened her crooked sleeves, and asked, "Ninety-ninety percent of this thunderous incident was aimed at me, but you want everyone to tell about their grudges, is it right?" In order to judge who is lying, so as to find Yue Mingwei's insider?"

"Yes, but it has little effect." Yun Yifeng said, "Everyone has told the truth, but I feel that everyone is hiding something."

Ji Yanran said: "We haven't reached the most critical moment yet, even if we have really caused a catastrophe and had a bloody feud, thinking about it, we will not be willing to tell the whole story. It doesn't matter if you can't get it out once you try it once, but it doesn't matter if you try it twice or three times. .”

The wind was cold outside, the two walked through the corridor, Yun Yifeng retracted his hands into his armholes, and the tip of his nose was also red from the cold. Seeing this, Ji Yanran asked, "Where's the cloak I gave you earlier?"

Yun Yifeng replied: "I forgot."

"..."

His Royal Highness King Xiao had no choice but to untie his cloak again and wrap him tightly from head to toe. After the bleak crescent moon disappeared, the courtyard became pitch black, and the candles on both sides were blown out by the strong wind. Yun Yifeng just took a step forward, and suddenly a white shadow floated under his feet, followed by the sound of crisp metal impact Finally, with a sound of "ding", a flash of sparks disappeared in an instant, and the furry animal climbed up the wall with a "squeak" and disappeared into the wilderness snow field in a short while.

Ji Yanran explained: "It's Jin Huan's ferret."

Yun Yifeng let go of his hand.

Ji Yanran said: "Master Yunmen is such a quick hidden weapon."

Yun Yifeng glanced at him: "My lord is not slow to block."

Ji Yanran lit up the firebox, and retrieved two darts from the snow, one of which was smaller and was Yun Yifeng's usual Frost Dart. Just as Bai Ying jumped up from the ground, his hidden weapon was already out of his hand. The other one was slightly bigger, it was Ji Yanran's thin blade between fingers, he recognized the ferret in a very short time, and knocked down the Frost Dart.

Yun Yifeng asked again: "Are we driving Jin Huan's pet away?"

"It is said that ferrets are spiritual and can recognize the way, so don't worry." Ji Yanran returned to the Piao Piao Pavilion with him, and turned up the fire again, "There is a cool breeze blowing all the way, so come here to warm up first."

Yun Yifeng took off his cloak, covered his cold ears with his fingers and rubbed them, and curled up on the soft cushion beside the stove. Ji Yanran smiled and said: "There is still a hat in the Treasure Building of the Imperial Palace, which is made of the best snow-mountain silver fox fur. Next time, I will find a chance to get it out and give it to the sect master to keep out the cold."

Yun Yifeng picked up the tea soup with a silver spoon: "Okay."

Ji Yanran fetched two white porcelain cups: "I still have something to ask."

Yun Yifeng looked up at him: "What's the matter?"

Ji Yanran said: "Just now in the dining room, everyone wanted to share their past grudges, why didn't the owner of the unique family use it?"

"Are you going to ask this?" Yun Yifeng said: "No one can kill me, and no one dares to kill me."

Ji Yanran was puzzled: "Why?"

Yun Yifeng handed him a cup of hot tea, with a smile in his eyes: "Because this is... the rules of the world."
