Ji Yanran didn't believe it: "What kind of rule is this?"

Yun Yifeng raised his eyebrows: "Because everyone needs to buy news from the Fengyumen, so I, the owner of the door, are very precious."

There are many people in Jianghu, there are many things, there are more news, true and false are mixed together, and dozens of hundreds of pieces can be spread in a day. At this time, if anyone wants to find out accurate information, Fengyumen has become the most reliable way. Over time, this established "rule" naturally came into being-whether it is a decent family or a demon, even if the two sides are fighting with flying sand and stones, blood flows into rivers, even if whoever just caused the family to be wiped out because of the news of the Fengyumen Even the misfortune of life cannot move the clouds and rely on the wind. After all, gathering information requires someone to do it, and he happens to do it very well. There is no shortage of such a role in the martial arts world.

After hearing this, Ji Yanran felt sincerely: "You can earn money while sitting, and you don't have to worry about being assassinated, and even when you fight, everyone will protect you. How could such a good thing be taken first by the Master of the Cloud Gate. "

"Are you envious?" Yun Yifeng still sat on the floor mat, reaching out to pat his knees, with bright eyes, "Envy can only be envied in vain."

Ji Yanran curled her mouth, and tried to hold the other's wrist by the way. This time, it was very warm, not the hotness from the poisonous hair, but warm, the kind of comforting feeling after a cub curled up by the stove to sleep in winter. Soft temperature.

The cold wind blew the windows "squeaking", especially harsh in this long silent night. Yun Yifeng listened intently for a while, and couldn't help but said, "I don't know if it will be peaceful tonight."

"You have to think like this." Ji Yanran taught him, "The sooner the situation is not peaceful, the sooner we can figure out what happened and go down the mountain sooner, so I would rather let the trouble go quickly than to besiege the snow mountain endlessly." Some came to the door."

Yun Yifeng raised her eyelids, said with a frowning face, "Although that's the case, if the trouble is willing to wait until the daytime, I will be happier." Otherwise, it would be too pitiful to have to get up in the dark to get dressed and fight in the middle of the night in the cold winter weather.

Ji Yanran smiled and said, "Master Yunmen is really an interesting person."

"It's easy to say." Yun Yifeng supported his knees and stood up, "As long as I can get the blood ganoderma, I will have plenty of tricks to make the prince happy in the future."

Ji Yanran pretended to decline and said: "How embarrassing."

But Yun Yifeng insisted that every kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring, not to mention the kindness of saving a life, so in the future even if the prince wants to listen to the opera, I can find a famous actor to learn how to behave. The ancients used colorful clothes to entertain relatives, so I will use colorful clothes to entertain you. When he said this, he was sitting by the bed, and the small glazed lamp in the tent was flickering lightly. The faint light made everything extremely soft and vivid. Coupled with the sincere expression on his face, His Royal Highness Xiao Wang’s face was beyond the barriers. The strong wind has been blowing for many years, and at this time, he is also a little bit overwhelmed, and finally feels a little bit of the anxiety and guilt of the servants of Si Ji's residence.

"Go to sleep." He said, his tone was unconsciously gentle.

Master Yunmen replied, "There is no hot water."

Ji Yanran took the initiative: "I'll burn it."

Yun Yifeng nodded: "En."

Hot smoke was billowing from the small kitchen, and Ji Yanran sat on the mat, holding the bellows and focusing on lighting the fire. Although the intention is in place, the technique is really unfamiliar, and his face is blackened by smoke.

If he is seen by the brothers of the Heijiao Camp, they will make jokes for three years.

This night, another drop of water turned into ice.

In the vast snowfield, several black shadows appeared out of thin air like ghosts and ghosts, and disappeared out of thin air like ghosts and ghosts.

The heavy snow that fell one after another quickly buried all traces.

The next morning, when Yun Yifeng was still asleep, Yue Zhihua hurried to knock on the door, saying that something happened outside.

Chai Fu's charred body was thrown in the courtyard early in the morning. When Aunt Yu saw it while sweeping the snow, she almost lost her soul in fright. When Yun Yifeng and Ji Yanran rushed over, Jin Huan was covering the corpse with a white cloth, saying that he had checked and the cause of death was that the internal organs were shattered by the thunderstorm.

Ji Yanran said: "It seems that the other party thinks that the explosion is not enough, we need to see the tragedy of the corpse with our own eyes, so that the deterrence will be more intuitive and effective."

Qi Ran's lips turned white, and he stood at the courtyard gate not daring to approach: "It's such a cold weather, such a heavy snowstorm, where do they have the supernatural ability to carry a dead man back and forth freely? This time it's nothing, it's just a Warning, if next time you simply break into the Snow Pavilion, then, what should I do?"

Yue Zhihua also said that he had been in the Yue Family Escort for so many years, and he had never heard of a peerless master hidden in his home. His words were so earnest that he almost raised his hand to swear.

Liu Xianxian suggested: "How about taking turns to watch the night?"

Yun Yifeng shook his head: "The warm pavilions are too far apart, and people can enter everywhere, so it doesn't make much sense to just guard the gate."

Qi Ran became more and more worried: "Then what should we do?"

"I have a way." Jin Huan said, "A few years ago, an old monk came to the Escort Bureau for alms, and taught me a set of formation methods before leaving. You can use silk threads to surround the entire Snow Pavilion, and then fight with everyone. The silver bells hanging above the bed are linked together, if an outsider breaks in, even if they only touch a thin spider thread, all the bells will be triggered, and the sound will be clear and ringing for a long time."

"Very good." Yun Yifeng stroked his palms, "Then there will be brother Lao Jin."

Yue Zhihua was worried for a long time, at this time he finally found a way to prove himself, and hurriedly said that there happened to be kite strings left by Chunri in the warm pavilion, and he would go to find them immediately. As for the silver bells, he could make them out of silver ingots. No matter how bad it is, there is still an iron pot. In short, after a lot of work, everyone finally set up the spider silk and silver bell array before dark.

Qi Ran cupped his hands and rejoiced: "It's fortunate that you are here this time, otherwise I'm afraid I won't even be able to sleep well, and there is also Master Yunmen... Eh, where are Master Yunmen and Ji Shaoxia?"

"Comfort Aunt Yu in the backyard." Liu Xianxian replied, "She was frightened today, I'm afraid she won't be able to cook, so you can go to the kitchen to pick up some steamed buns and side dishes to eat."

Jin Manlin scoffed, "She really is a useless woman."

Liu Xianxian glanced at him and said mockingly: "No matter how useless a woman is, she steamed a pot of steamed buns for you useful men. If the head of Jin despises you, you don't have to eat them."

Jin Manlin's chest felt tight, but he didn't want to argue with her, so he shook his sleeves angrily and left. Jin Huan said helplessly: "How did my father offend the girl? Why does he always speak with a gun and a stick, which is harsh to hear."

"To be honest, you're just holding a gun and a stick?" Liu Xianxian crossed her hips, "I know you men like to listen, so I won't say it."

Her temperament is unruly and unreasonable, Jin Huan and Qi Ran had a headache, each found an excuse to leave, and did not entangle with this wild girl any more. On the contrary, Yue Zhihua stayed behind to persuade her, but nothing came of it. Liu Xianxian still had disdain in her eyes, and her skirt fluttered to the backyard.

The kitchen was really dark, except for the small bedroom next to it. Aunt Yu was sitting at the table, trembling and muttering, "Why did Lao Zhang die?"

"I will avenge Lao Zhang." Yun Yifeng comforted softly, "Auntie, you should eat the steamed buns first."

"People are dead, what's the use of revenge." Aunt Yu wiped her tears, "Will they continue to kill people?"

"It's hard to say, but as long as you don't leave Piao Piao Pavilion, you should be fine for the time being." Yun Yifeng said, "If Auntie is really scared, why not move here—"

"Move to Meteor Pavilion and live with me." Liu Xianxian took over the conversation abruptly, and stepped into the door with her skirt in her hands.

Yun Yifeng was taken aback: "Live with you?"

"Yes." Liu Xianxian said, "We are both women, and it is more convenient to take care of each other. Besides, there is no spare room in the Piao Piao Pavilion. You two big men, are you planning to let your aunt sleep on the firewood pile?"

Aunt Yu hurriedly said: "I'm just a servant, how can I live with distinguished guests, I, I'd better continue sleeping in the kitchen."

"What kind of servants and distinguished guests, move here quickly, auntie." Liu Qianxian held her hand, "We just happen to be each other's companions."

Aunt Yu looked at Yun Yifeng hesitantly: "This..."

"If Auntie is willing, she can move to Meteor Pavilion." Yun Yifeng also said, "It's always good to take care of each other in extraordinary times."

"Hey, then I'll live with Miss Liu." Aunt Yu agreed, "Thank you son, thank you girl."

Liu Xianxian helped her pack her bags, and the two went back to Meteor Pavilion together. Ji Yanran asked: "Aren't you afraid that Liu Xianxian is from Yue Mingwei?"

"I'm afraid." Yun Yifeng said, "But if she is really Yue Mingwei's person, Aunt Yu will be safer. At most, she will be bribed to poison you and me, and this kind of thing cannot be prevented, just pay more attention."

Ji Yanran smiled: "You can think about it."

"Let's go." Yun Yifeng turned around, "Let's go back to Piao Piao Pavilion."

Dinner was still baked buns over the fire, with a pot of tea, it was tasteless, and my cheeks still hurt.

"Master Yunmen!" After a while, Liu Qianxian opened the door and came in, "Aunt Yu said there are rice dumpling candies in the kitchen, do you want it?"

Ji Yanran sat at the table: "No."

"I didn't ask you." Liu Xianxian looked around, "Where's the master of Yunmen?"

"After eating, I'm practicing in the inner room right now." Ji Yanran said, "It's not half an hour, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out."

"Why do you still have to practice at night?" Liu Qianqian was reluctant, and put the candy back, "Okay, then I'll come back tomorrow."

Ji Yanran couldn't help laughing: "The girl really has a clear goal, and her sweetheart is not here, even the candy is not willing to keep me."

"You are tall and big, what kind of candy do you eat?" Liu Qianxian stood up, "I'm leaving."

"So anxious?" Ji Yanran stopped her with one hand, took her to the corner, leaned over slightly, and breathed out almost close to her ears, "I am not bad in appearance, tall, and not short of money, girl Why don't you even take a look at it, only the master of Yunmen in Duxiang?"

"Let me go!" Liu Xianxian was annoyed, she reached out to push him, but she couldn't do it for a long time. After going back and forth, Yun Yifeng in the room was disturbed, wrapped in a toga, he wondered, "What are you doing?"

Ji Yanran stood up straight calmly: "It's nothing, just kidding around."

"Bah! Who's messing around with you, an apprentice!" Liu Qianxian stomped on him and rushed out of Piao Piao Pavilion angrily, without picking up the sugar that was scattered all over the floor.

Yun Yifeng had a headache: "Tell me, what's wrong?"

"She's here to give you snacks." Ji Yanran said, "Looking at her young age, she has a thick skin."

Yun Yifeng was in a complicated mood: "Just because you were a gangster just now, where do you have the confidence to say that others have thick skin?"

Ji Yanran touched his chin, and suddenly asked him: "How do I look?"

Yun Yifeng looked him up and down, and replied: "It's not very good."

"Impossible." Ji Yanran motioned him to sit down and warm up by the fire, "Back when I was in the northwest, as long as I rode on the street, the girls in the whole city would stare intently and be fascinated."

Yun Yifeng: "..."

face.

Ji Yanran moved the chair, and moved closer: "Tell the truth."

Yun Yifeng shrank back: "My lord is tall, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, and with royal aura, he is naturally very chic... Sit up straight for me!"

"It's right to be unrestrained." Ji Yanran said with emotion: "But I'm so suave and unrestrained, but that girl Liu didn't even blush just now."

Yun Yifeng frowned: "What exactly do you want to say?"

Ji Yanran paused, and said: "I just want to say, you must never marry such a person."

Yun Yifeng raised his hand and hit him.

Ji Yanran held his wrist with a smile, pulled him in front of him, and whispered something in his ear.

Yun Yifeng showed hesitation, and looked up at him.

"This is just a guess, please pay more attention." Ji Yanran let go of her hand, "I will find a chance to verify it later."

Yun Yifeng hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Yes."

The next morning, Yun Yifeng went to the kitchen. Aunt Yu had already cooked porridge, rice and noodles, and was about to send them to other courtyards. Liu Xianxian was sitting by the stove, chatting and laughing with her, both of them looked very happy.

"Master Yunmen." After seeing him, Liu Xianxian greeted him, and then asked, "Isn't the apprentice here?"

As soon as the words fell, Ji Yanran stepped over the threshold: "Morning."

Liu Xianxian said: "Hmph!"

The corner of Ji Yanran's mouth raised, and when he was about to speak, Yun Yifeng slapped him: "The situation on the mountain is already tense, you are not allowed to molested Miss Liu in the future."

His Royal Highness Xiao Wang was quite obedient, he clasped his fists and said, "It was all my fault last night, please don't take offense, Miss."

"Who wants to apologize for your apology." Liu Xianxian took out the food box, "Aunt Yu is still busy making pastries, so she can't get away, you can come with me to deliver breakfast."

Ji Yanran wondered: "It turns out that you are quite considerate and sensible."

"That's natural. Even the master said that if anyone wants to marry me, he can get the virtues of his ancestors." Liu Xianxian walked out of the small courtyard with him, and said in distress, "But why doesn't Master Yunmen like me? I've always been like ice .”

Ji Yanran taught her: "It doesn't matter if you don't like it now, you show your sincerity little by little, and the ice might warm up someday."

"Am I not sincere enough?" Liu Xianxian kicked the snow, "I like him and want to marry him, even if I want to marry him."

Ji Yanran was puzzled when he heard this: "You like him, why are you dying?"

"Because he is the master of Fengyumen." Liu Qianxian gave him a strange look, "You really are not from the Jianghu, why don't you understand anything."

"I don't understand, you can explain it to me slowly." Ji Yanran asked patiently, "Master of Fengyumen, isn't that a good position? You can get rich just by collecting information, and everyone has to protect it. Shouldn't you be happy all day long?"

Liu Xianxian corrected him, everyone is protecting him, the premise is that every piece of information sold is true, and if you accidentally release false information, it is a big taboo, not only buyers have to come to settle accounts, but also in martial arts It is also everyone who gets it and punishes it, and can only hide in Tibet for the rest of his life, which is worse than a beggar on the street-at least he can have a safe and ruined temple.

Ji Yanran stopped, and said in disbelief: "Selling a piece of fake news will change from being held in the palm of everyone's hands to being punished by everyone? Even if you are deceived by a traitor?"

"Yes, no." Liu Xianxian said, "This is a rule that everyone in the Jianghu understands, because only in this way can Fengyumen be more careful and verify every piece of information, otherwise why let others spend a lot of money to find out Buy? Naturally, you have to make sure it’s right.”

Ji Yanran had nothing to say, thinking of Yun Yifeng's beaming "envy can only be envied in vain" under the candle last night, and the clear glint in his eyes when he spoke, he couldn't help feeling unhappy, and said: "What is this? Break the line."

"Right." Liu Qianxian held the food box in one hand, and knocked on the door of Xinuang Pavilion with the other, "I don't even think he's a bad business."
