Chapter 74: uninvited guest

Views:

The box of dried Jilian flowers smells delicious, and the decoction is refreshing and sweet. If you add a spoonful of honey water, it will become a summer drink to quench your thirst. I don’t know. How many times better than the concoction of ghost thorns.

Speaking of ghost thorns, I haven't seen them for a while. This was somewhat beyond Ji Yanran's expectation. He thought that according to Ghost Assassin's character, he would come to Wangcheng immediately, but the spies from the previous two days reported that he seemed to be out of the sea again.

"Perhaps another distinguished person has gone to the Wandering Island to seek medical treatment. He is not short of money, but he is desperate for fame and popularity like crazy." Yun Yifeng stirred the honey with a spoon, "Actually, it is a good thing, it means that even he is I feel that I won't die for a while, otherwise I wouldn't leave so confidently and boldly."

"I think this lotus dew has made your face look a lot better." Ji Yanran said, "Brother Huang has sent people to the grassland to send a lot of gifts. In the future, when I have free time, I will definitely go to that old gentleman. Say thank you."

"What's his name?"

"When I rescued him from the wolves back then, I treated him as an ordinary old man, so I kept calling him Akun, which means 'uncle' in the dialect." Ji Yanran said, "I only found out that he was given a letter this time. I gave myself a name from the Central Plains, Meizhusong."

The grassland tribes have always been good at riding and shooting, drinking alcohol, and acting rough and bold. It is really rare for such a sour person to name himself Suihan Sanyou. He should be an interesting person.

Yun Yifeng nodded: "I also have to thank Mr. Mei well."

After watching him finish drinking the decoction, Ji Yanran led her back to the bedroom, and took out a small jar of cooling ointment from the cabinet. This is a scar-removing ointment specially prepared by the imperial hospital. It is said that a certain concubine’s face was accidentally burned by charcoal fire, and she fell from the sky to the ground overnight. , and was bullied every day. After three years, the people of her natal family finally found this wound medicine from the people. Don't care about political affairs, just indulge in the gentle countryside, spend huge sums of money to build jade pagodas and golden houses for beauties, and spread luxurious woolen blankets all over the ground, that extravagance, the country will perish within a year.

The whole story sounds bitter, unfeeling, inspirational, beautiful, and hard to describe. Yun Yifeng thought for a while, and asked doubtfully, "Is it really so easy to use?"

"That's what the imperial physician said." Ji Yanran spread the ointment on his back, "Do you still feel cold?"

"There are some, but it doesn't matter." Yun Yifeng half-buried in the pillow, revealing a large jade-white back, and the waist is slightly sunken, but it is all covered under the thin summer clothes, leaving only a beautiful shape ups and downs.

Ji Yanran closed the medicine jar, and leaned on the soft bed herself, half-embracing him in her arms, wrapping her arms around her thin and soft waist. The incense in the room smelled very good. Yun Yifeng became sleepy when lying on his stomach, closed his eyes, and the jade hairpin slipped off from his hair, and fell to the ground with a "click", and his black hair poured down like running water, icy cold soft.

The maid who came to deliver the tea quietly opened the bead curtain and saw the two were leaning on the couch talking and laughing in a low voice, they seemed to be very close, so she hurriedly backed out again, she also blushed.

The scorching sun steamed the courtyard with a grass-scented heat, the flower buds were wilting, and even the cicadas were faintly singing. The two cats curled up under the cool rockery, with their heads and feet touching each other, sleeping together in the dark.

Such a leisurely life lasted for more than a month.

During this time, many great things happened.

The most important thing is that Master Yunmen finally learned the nameless song. Although the fingering is still unfamiliar and sounds a bit stumbling, but compared to the previous wild technique like the enchantress playing the piano, it is already a leap forward. The old concubine is very pleased, and she praises everyone, and the cook in Prince Xiao's mansion is even more happy. The elbow that has been stewed for ten days in a row is a congratulations.

The second is that people in the rivers and lakes finally found the long-awaited tomb of King Chang'an. A few days ago, Jiang Lingfei transported the jewels and the sword manual to Changying Peak, and stuffed them all into the hole on the top of the cave. He ordered Qingyue to release the news, which attracted everyone to search again. This time, he finally found the treasure, although it was not as expected They are piled up like mountains, but at least there are some, and there are many treasures among them, which shows that the news about Fengyumen is not wrong, but the search was too sloppy last time, and I never thought that there are organs hidden on the top of the grotto. As the leader of the martial arts alliance, Li Qinghai naturally had an unshirkable responsibility, so he personally led people to the Fengyumen to apologize. Although Yun Yifeng was not there, at least he made a proper gesture.

The third thing is that Liu Shaocheng, the general of Zhenbei, successfully retrieved the mechanism box in the secret map of Zichuan in the Mingya Temple. The old monk who swept the floor still remembered what happened back then, and said that there was indeed a burly but weak man with injuries all over his body. He once lived in the temple for a while, but then he left again for some reason.

"What's in the mechanism box?" Yun Yifeng asked.

Ji Yanran squeezed the walnuts and picked out the nuts for him to eat: "The mechanism box is in the hands of the emperor, he doesn't seem to have any plans to invite me to see it."

Yun Yifeng lamented, he is not interested in national hatred and family hatred, but he is still very interested in things left by people who may be his own father, but according to the current situation, it should be hopeless to see up.

"Maybe after a long time, when you and I are no longer a threat to the imperial power, the imperial brother will tell us." Ji Yanran said, "Okay, don't think about it, the city is busy these two days, and there are banquets in the palace tonight, where do you want to go? Join in the fun?"

"I don't want to do anything, I just want to stay at home." Yun Yifeng propped his forehead with one hand, "I went to the palace yesterday, went to the Lion House the day before yesterday, and helped Aunt Yu pickle several large vats the day before yesterday. Pickles, the bones are tired and falling apart."

The medicinal effect of that lotus dew is excellent, as long as you drink it as tea every day, you will no longer cough and wheeze, and you will no longer have heart palpitations with intermittent hot and cold, and you will even save the tormenting medicinal bath. He can secretly ride Feishuangjiao out of the city for a lap, and then quickly tie the horse back to the stable before His Royal Highness Xiao Wang returns to the mansion, bathe and change clothes and lie down on the soft bed, holding a book and making a posture of studying hard.

Ji Yanran had quite a headache: "What kind of mentality do you think that the servants won't tell me?"

Yun Yifeng pressed the book to her face, pretending she didn't hear anything.

Straightforward, strong and straight.

The weather in Wangcheng in summer can change three times a day. It was still a big sun in the morning, but it rained heavily in the afternoon. The sky was as dark as a dark night, with only "rumbling" thunder and lightning, roaring and raging, as if the roof was about to be toppled.

"There is no such heavy rain in Chunlin City." Yun Yifeng stood under the eaves, watching the bean-sized raindrops mixed with hailstones, smashing the ground into mud pits one after another, "The evil wind is evil, and it makes people's hearts panicked."

While talking, Wu Suosi ran in from outside in the rain: "My lord, the master of Yunmen."

"Why don't you hold an umbrella." Ji Yanran frowned, "I'm in a hurry, something happened again?"

"It's not an accident, I just heard a piece of news." Wu Suosi patted the rain on his sleeves, and said in a low voice, "King Pingle is here, I guess he will enter the palace tomorrow."

King Pingle is the second prince Li Jun, who was also the chief culprit who ordered Baihe to open the gates ahead of schedule, which resulted in Liao Han's death. Ji Yanran hated him so much that her teeth itch. She originally planned to find a chance to get rid of this person after a while, but she never thought that the other party would actually come to her. Although there are many relatives and relatives of the royal family for this palace banquet, it is not a big festival after all, that is, the few uncles nearby will bring their family members to join in the fun. Li Jun lives in Jindi all the year round, and Knowing that Ji Yanran is in Wangcheng, she would come all the way here on purpose, just to drink a glass of wine, which is obviously impossible.

"No wonder the weather is so bad." Yun Yifeng said, "God dares to dislike him."

Ji Yanran asked: "What do you think?"

"I don't understand the situation in the court." Yun Yifeng said, "But from the emperor's daily talk with you, the king of Pingle seems to be extremely greedy for life and afraid of death. Could it be that he knows that the secret map of Zichuan has been stolen?" From the news I found, I knew that my life-saving talisman was gone, so before you returned to the northwest, you rushed to Wangcheng to win another chance of survival?"

After all, on the way from Wangcheng to Yancheng, you will pass through Dayuan City in Jindi where Li Jun is located. According to His Royal Highness Xiao Wang's behavior, it is very possible to chop off the prince who does not hurt the emperor and has no real power in his hands. thing.

"Then he has quite a lot of eyeliner in court." Ji Yanran shook his head, "Forget it, I'll go to the palace tomorrow to have a look, and then I'll talk about other things."

Such a number of people came out of nowhere for no reason, and even Xia Yu, who was full of courtyards, changed his taste.

After Wu Suosi left, Yun Yifeng asked: "Unhappy?"

"No, I was just thinking about the purpose of his trip." Ji Yanran had a headache, "Brother Huang secretly kept him for so many years because of the secret map of Zichuan, now don't make a new secret and let him live longer Ten or eight years."

"Just talking nonsense that we know the secret map of Zichuan, but we didn't find it in the end? Don't worry, the soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it." Yun Yifeng took his arm and led him into the bedroom, "I'll show you a good one." thing."

He took out a wooden box from the cabinet, and when he opened it, it was the Southwest hidden weapon that he dug out of the private storage that day: "After I dismantled it, I hurried to Yongle Prefecture to find you. These things have been scattered and piled up until now. I suddenly remembered it two days ago, so I took it to the carpenter in the city to study, and improved on the original basis."

From the previous ejection device, which was as bulky as a big bow, to a small hidden weapon that can be worn on the wrist, except for the slightly thinner and shorter iron anchor, its power has not been reduced at all.

"And the cost is very low. The iron anchor can also be changed into a poisonous needle, which is lighter and cheaper." Yun Yifeng said, "Let every soldier in the Heijiao Battalion wear one, even if the range is limited, at least it can be used at critical moments. Self-defense. Of course, you have to train before using it, so as not to accidentally hurt your own people."

"Only for the Heijiao battalion?" Ji Yanran rested his chin on his shoulders, rubbing the back of that thin white neck, and said like a fool, "Reluctant to give it to the rest of the garrison? Liu Shaocheng is in Wangcheng, if he finds out that I am hiding Selfishly, I'm afraid I will come to the mansion to make a scene."

Yun Yifeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry and hid aside: "I'm serious...don't move!"

"I'm also serious. This kind of good thing can't just be given to the Heijiao camp. I will bring it with me when I enter the palace tomorrow, so that the emperor can also see it." Ji Yanran held his slender waist with both hands, and pulled him to the side. In front of me, "I can be sympathetic to the soldiers, but also know how to make hidden weapons, and I always think about making it cheap to save money for my husband. My Yun'er is really... hiss, it's okay, let's not talk, let's not talk."

Everything is fine, but the kung fu is too high, the strength is great, and it hurts to kick people.

After being recuperated by Ji Lianlu, it was even more amazing, when the single palm struck, there was a whistling wind, no matter how skillful His Highness King Xiao was, he still had to rush to the back of the pillar.
