Xu Feng was startled.
This was the first time he saw Zhou Yan kill someone. Of course, people are in the Jianghu, it is inevitable to fight and kill, not to mention that this group of men in black kidnapped women and killed a dozen family guards, they deserved what they deserved. It's just that Zhou Yan's method of killing people is a bit cruel.
The blood on the ground was dazzlingly red, Zhou Yan stepped on the bright red ground and walked towards him, Xu Feng couldn't help taking a step back.
Zhou Yan paused and asked, "What's wrong?"
He looked down at his shirt again, and said, "You gave me the clothes. I did it properly, and it wasn't stained by blood."
Xu Feng's heart felt hot, seeing that his clothes were spotless, he obviously cherished them very much, the haze disappeared, and he went up to meet him and said, "Why is Brother Zhou here?"
"You ran away without saying a word, can I not come? If you come a little later..." He turned his eyes away, glanced at the detached corpse on the ground, and didn't say any more.
Xu Feng knew he was in the wrong, Wei Wei said: "I was also in a hurry to save people."
It was only here that I remembered Ms. Li who was thrown on the ground, hurriedly went to see her situation, turned her over to have a look, but saw a big blood stain on her skirt, which made Xu Feng jump. When he stretched out his hand to detect her breath, her breathing was steady, she just passed out.
Xu Feng breathed a sigh of relief, thinking, could it be that Brother Zhou used Miss Li to block the blood
Zhou Yan killed a man in black as soon as he made a move, and the situation changed drastically. The other man in black had no intention of fighting, and escaped while fighting, but in the end he showed his weakness, and Murong Fei's two men stabbed him right through each other with a sword.
The masked man was unflappable in the face of danger, his companion's screams sounded one after another, but he was not affected in the slightest, he only focused on fighting swords with Murong Fei. Murong Fei was able to draw with him at first, but after fighting for more than two hundred moves, his internal strength gradually weakened, and he gradually lost the upper hand.
Murong Fei prided himself on his status, and refused to ask his subordinates to help, so those people had no choice but to crowd around and hold the line. The masked man swept around and quickly saw the situation clearly. He knew that it was encircled. Murong Fei.
What Murong Fei learned was decent martial arts, had he ever seen such a style of fighting? After being startled for a while, he pushed the sword away.
After only a moment of hesitation, the masked man jumped up and slapped his chest. Murong Fei was in a hurry and didn't have time to change his moves, so he had to catch his palm with his left hand.
A pair of palms is a competition of internal strength, the zhenqi in Murong Fei's body vibrates, and his body shakes.
Several of his subordinates were eager to protect the lord, and they all shouted: "Young master!"
The masked man waited for an opportunity, immediately withdrew his palms, stood up from the ground, stepped on the shoulders of Murong Fei's subordinates, and rushed out by himself. His lightness kung fu method is very peculiar, and his speed of movement is really unimaginable.
Zhou Yan snorted, and then chased after him. He had a light figure and his clothes fluttered, and he chased after the man in a short time, reaching out and gently brushing his back.
Just at this moment, the masked man couldn't stand still, he jumped forward suddenly, and fell on the ground. However, he was not someone to wait for nothing. After rolling around twice, he still ran wildly.
Zhou Yan watched his back from a distance, and did not follow him.
Murong Fei had already breathed a sigh of relief, rushed over and said, "Why don't you chase after me?"
Xu Feng also stepped forward and said, "Brother Zhou, are you not injured?"
Zhou Yan said: "Nothing."
His eyes slipped to Murong Fei, and Murong Fei was also staring at him, so Xu Feng introduced them.
When Murong Fei heard that Zhou Yan was Xu Feng's adopted brother, he immediately became more polite, cupped his fists and said, "Brother Zhou."
Zhou Yan just said "Yes", and looked at Murong Fei with a critical look. Finally, seeing Xu Feng was very close to him, he pulled him to his side and asked, "Why are you talking to him?" Mixed together?"
Xu Fengdao: "It's a long story, Mr. Murong is my new friend."
He didn't want to mention this matter, so he changed the topic and said, "Why didn't brother Zhou chase after that person?"
"It's very easy for me to keep him. But if I can't pry his mouth open, I won't be able to find out who is behind him."
Murong Fei originally respected him as Xu Feng's elder brother, but seeing him indifferent, he no longer wanted to be close to him, and said: "This matter must have been done by the Palace of Bliss, and the master behind the scenes is the heinous Palace Master. What is there to check?"
Zhou Yan asked him, "What do the missing women have in common?"
"They're all newly married brides."
"That's it. In the Paradise of Bliss, everyone from the palace lord to ordinary disciples loves beauty. But those brides... may not all be beauties, right?"
Murong Fei was suffocated. He naturally knows that there are handsome and ugly women in the world, and it is impossible for every woman to be beautiful. The appearance of the Miss Li family is just ordinary. However, he was convinced that the Palace of Bliss did all kinds of evil, so it was difficult to turn the corner for a while, and said: "Even if there are other inside stories about this matter, Palace of Bliss is still suspected. What's more, after we have talked for a long time, the masked man has already run away, so what?" Track down the mastermind behind the scenes?"
"I sprinkled some colorless and odorless powder on that man. Only a kind of butterfly can smell the smell. If you follow the trail, you can know his whereabouts." Zhou Yan said, taking off the Bamboo tube, let out a butterfly.
The butterfly flapped its wings lightly, and under the clear light of the moonlight, it turned out to be a dazzling golden color.
"Golden Winged Butterfly? Did you use 'Looking for Fragrance from Thousands of Miles'?" Murong Fei couldn't help but look at Zhou Yan a few more times, and said, "Your Excellency is so generous."
Xu Feng had never seen this kind of butterfly before, and asked, "Is this thing very rare?"
Zhou Yan said: "You can buy it with money, and it's nothing unusual."
But Murong Fei said: "Things from Linglong Pavilion, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy them."
Qiqiaoxin, Linglong Pavilion.
Xu Feng, the head of Linglong Pavilion, has heard of it. Hearing that the head of the house is best at magic tricks, Qi Qiaoxin is talking about him. Linglong Pavilion specializes in rare objects, some of which are really hard to buy.
Xu Feng thought for a while and said, "I haven't seen Brother Zhou wearing this bamboo tube before."
"I just got it this afternoon." Zhou Yan drove the golden-winged butterfly back into the bamboo tube, and then threw it to Murong Fei, "Follow the butterfly to find someone, but don't chase it too closely, so as not to overwhelm the snake."
Murong Fei took it in his hand and thanked him.
Zhou Yan ignored him, and only said to Xu Feng, "Let's go."
Xu Feng said in surprise, "Aren't we going to chase after it?"
"What are you chasing after?" Zhou Yan was rather displeased, staring at him and said, "I haven't eaten dinner yet."
It was only then that Xu Feng remembered that he had been guarding outside the embroidered building and hadn't eaten anything since the afternoon. Zhou Yan rushed over to look for him, so it was naturally the same. He felt very guilty in his heart, and said: "It's all my fault, I only wanted to save people, and I also involved Brother Zhou."
Zhou Yan said: "Whether you want to save people or kill people, just say it, but don't run around without telling me anymore."
Xu Feng knew he was wrong, so he hurriedly responded.
Only then did Zhou Yan turn pale.
A few people came out from Li's mansion at the other end, helped Miss Li who had been in a coma, and thanked Murong Fei and the others again and again. Zhou Yan stayed aside, Xu Feng felt that he hadn't done much, and felt a little embarrassed, but Murong Fei responded calmly, and after dismissing the people in Li's residence, he came back to talk to Xu Feng. Knowing that he was going to leave soon, Murong Fei was inevitably a little disappointed, he pulled Xu Feng to talk a lot, and asked him which inn he was staying in, and came to talk to him again when the investigation became clear.
Xu Feng's kindness was hard to turn down, so he had no choice but to accept it.
When they were talking, several of Murong Fei's subordinates had already led the horse over. Murong Fei tore off the scarlet wedding dress, revealing a stone blue loose-weave shirt underneath, his black hair was only tied with a blue hairpin, his face was extremely handsome, only more romantic than before.
He turned on the horseback, looked back and smiled at Xu Feng, and said, "Brother Xu, let's talk about it another day."
After that, he hit the horse and left.
Although Xu Feng is not a person who loves beauty, he still can't move his eyes, watching the distant figure for a while. In the end it was Zhou Yan who had a sullen face and dragged him back to the inn.
At this time, there was no hot food or dishes to eat, so Xu Feng borrowed a kitchen from the shopkeeper, and ordered two bowls of noodles by himself. The most common Yangchun noodles were only sprinkled with a handful of scallions, but Zhou Yan ate them cleanly. After eating, he threw his chopsticks away and asked about Murong Fei.
Xu Feng didn't want to go into too much detail, he only said that he had met him once before, and now they just met by chance. He looked at Zhou Yan's face and asked, "Brother Zhou doesn't seem to like Mr. Murong very much?"
Zhou Yan paused and said, "It's nothing, it's just that he doesn't like it."
"Why? Brother Zhou, don't you think Mr. Murong is good-looking?"
"What's there to see?" Zhou Yan snorted, "Murong Fei is so famous, when I saw him today, his appearance is far inferior to mine."
"Ahem..."
Xu Feng finished his noodles and was drinking tea. Hearing this, he almost choked on the tea.
Zhou Yan also asked him solemnly: "Isn't it?"
Xu Feng didn't know how to answer for a moment.
His eldest brother is good in everything, but... he is a bit conceited about his appearance.
Xu Feng stared at that neither ugly nor handsome face for a long time, and finally reluctantly said: "Brother Zhou and Mr. Murong each have their own merits, it's... hard to compare..."
Zhou Yan frowned, as if he was still not satisfied, said a few words to Xu Feng, and then went back to the room to rest.
Xu Feng was tired all day, and now he was terribly sleepy, and fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow. He slept deeply that night, and was woken up by Zhou Yan the next day. When he woke up, he found that Zhou Yan had packed all his luggage.
"Brother Zhou, shall we leave today?"
"Well, Lin'an City is just around the corner. It's better to find a miracle doctor first. It's important to heal your hand injury."
In this way, when Murong Fei came back, he would be in vain.
Xu Feng thought about it and felt that it was still better. The closer he is to Murong Fei, the easier it is to think of the past. What's more, Murong Fei didn't stick to small details, maybe he brought up the events of the year, which made Zhou Yan aware of the clues.
In case Zhou Yan finds out that he was trapped in the Palace of Bliss...
Xu Feng couldn't help being startled when he thought of this. I don't know if he was frightened by this thought, or he was frightened by himself who had this thought, he didn't dare to think about it any more, and hurried out with Zhou Yan.
It's not too far to go to Lin'an, but Zhou Yan walked on the road in a hurry, as if he was afraid that the genius doctor would run away. After a day's journey, they found a small village to stay overnight, and when they set off again the next day, the city of Lin'an was already in sight.
As he was walking halfway, he suddenly heard the sound of hoofbeats, and two horses galloped forward from the front. The horse was galloping like lightning, kicking up waves of dust, Xu Feng dodged to the side, and met the rider on the horse, both of them said "Hey".
Xu Feng recognized the two men as Murong Fei's subordinates, and the other party also reined in and stopped, calling out: "Xu Shaoxia!"
Xu Feng asked: "Where is your son? Have you found the masked man?"
Those two looked anxious, and one of them said: "The day before yesterday we chased that golden-winged butterfly into Lin'an City, and thought that the truth would soon be revealed, but unexpectedly... my young master has disappeared!"
Xu Feng was startled, and thought to himself, could it be that the lord of the Palace of Bliss came and captured Murong Fei himself? He was afraid and hated that person, thinking of this, he couldn't help shaking his right hand.
Zhou Yan was not in a hurry, and asked the two of them, "What happened?"
Murong Fei's subordinates said: "The day before yesterday we followed Gold Winged Die to chase that masked man, because we were afraid of being noticed by him, we didn't dare to chase too closely, so we entered Lin'an City on the second day. That man is very cunning, There were many detours on the road, and we almost lost track of him several times. Later, we saw him enter a brothel. My son was afraid that he would run away, so he didn’t dare to force his way in, so he pretended to be an ordinary customer and went in. Who knows As soon as I walked in, a group of prostitutes rushed out and hugged my young master away."
"And then?" Zhou Yan narrowed his eyes and guessed, "Did you follow immediately?"
The two subordinates looked at each other with annoyed expressions. "My son has an outstanding appearance and has always been favored by women. This is also a common occurrence. Besides, it is just a group of weak women. We can't expect anything to happen..."
Zhou Yan snorted softly: "Be careless and underestimate the enemy."
Those two were so embarrassed.
Xu Feng said: "So, that brothel must be a bit weird."
"That's right. We searched that place later, but we couldn't find the young master. We had to leave a few people outside to guard, and the two of us went back to Songjiang Mansion to report."
Murong's family is in Songjiang Mansion, they are afraid that Murong Fei will fall into the hands of Bliss Palace, and they want to go back to rescue soldiers.
Zhou Yan pointed his hand and said to one of them, "Go back and report the letter."
Then he pointed to another person and said, "Take us to that brothel."
He and these two people had only met once, so it was very natural to provoke people at this time, but the two people were convinced, and after discussing a few words, one got on the horse and rode away, and the other went with Xu Feng. They went to Lin'an together.
On the way, Xu Feng said to Zhou Yan: "I didn't expect Brother Zhou to be so concerned about Mr. Murong's affairs."
"Murong Fei's life or death has nothing to do with me, but since we have met, you are determined to save him, aren't you?"
Xu Feng made a good guess for him.
Thinking of Zhou Yan accommodating himself everywhere, Xu Feng felt very sorry, but also faintly happy.
They walked while talking, and arrived in Lin'an City not long after. As the new year is approaching, the city is filled with the atmosphere of the New Year, and the east and west cities are particularly lively, with people coming and going in an endless stream. Xu Feng finds everything new when he sees it, but because he is worried about Murong Fei whose whereabouts are unknown, he can only take a quick look at it.
Although the brothel they were looking for was located in the Land of Wind and Moon, the place was quite secluded, with white walls and black tiles, facing the lake and taking pictures, it was quite poetic.
Xu Feng took a closer look and saw the words "Yingxiang Pavilion" written on the door plaque. During the day, the door was closed tightly, and it was deserted outside, only Murong Fei's subordinates were guarding in the dark.
Zhou Yan met with them, explored the surrounding terrain, and made some arrangements. The few people who had disappeared from the young master had already turned around in a hurry. Seeing that Zhou Yan had a well-thought-out plan, and with the posture of a superior, they naturally obeyed his orders. The people agreed on a secret signal, and when the sky darkened, the Yingxiang Hall opened to welcome guests, and Zhou Yan and Xu Feng walked in swaggeringly.
The blouse on Zhou Yan was very eye-catching, and as soon as he entered the door, the old bustard greeted him. He asked for a side room with ease, and ordered two flower girls to accompany him. The two girls were only sixteen or seventeen years old, with a thin layer of makeup on their faces, and they were a little pretty. One of them sat down next to Xu Feng and poured wine for him affectionately.
Xu Feng was not used to being close to people, his face turned a little pale after being touched by her like this.
As soon as Zhou Yan stretched out his hand, he slipped him to his side, saying: "My younger brother is too strong to drink, let me drink for him."
After finishing speaking, he drank the wine with the hand of the flower girl.
He was so forthright that the two girls giggled, so they put Xu Feng aside and just poured him wine. Zhou Yan would not refuse anyone who came, and he drank a glass of wine without showing the slightest hint of drunkenness on his face. On the other hand, those two flower girls, who didn't know whether they were really drunk or fake, leaned towards him like bones, and almost pushed Xu Feng out.
Xu Feng stood up and said, "I'm going out to get some air."
Zhou Yan winked at him, took his hand and said, "It's very chaotic outside, don't run around alone."
Xu Feng thought about Murong Fei, so he had to sit back sullenly.
The Hua Niang teased and said, "Yo, is it because I'm afraid that the young master will get lost?"
"My younger brother is young, so I brought him out to see the world." Zhou Yan asked casually, "People of his age are thin-skinned, maybe they don't come often?"
The two flower girls suddenly burst into laughter.
"Where can it be? There are many younger than him."
Zhou Yan looked at Xu Feng and said, "But I'm afraid he's not as good-looking as my younger brother."
The Hua Niang flattered: "The young man has a good appearance, he is indeed a good-looking talent, but the young man who came yesterday is really handsome. The sisters saw each other, and there was no one who was not greedy. Unfortunately, he went into the mother's room later..."
The other one was pouring wine, and upon hearing what she said, he hurriedly called out, "Liniang!"
That Liniang stopped her mouth quickly, covered her lips and smiled, "Look at me, why did you mention someone else? What a disappointment! Would you like to punish me for drinking myself?"
Zhou Yan said: "Three cups."
Liniang didn't refuse, and sure enough, she drank three glasses of wine in one go.
Zhou Yan said "Okay", and talked and laughed freely as usual, telling them some interesting things about the world. After drinking for three rounds, the two flower girls were a little drunk, so Zhou Yan changed the subject and asked where the old bustard's room was.
Liniang got even more drunk, and said casually: "The room on the east end is it."
Zhou Yan smiled slightly, and looked at Xu Feng. Xu Feng understood immediately, and shot at the same time as him, tapping the acupuncture points of the two Hua Niangs, one on the left and one on the right. The two women fell down without a sound, Xu Feng hurried out of the wing room as if he had been pardoned, and went to find the old bustard's residence.
Zhou Yan laughed and said, "Brother Feng's appearance just now is really like sitting on pins and needles."
Xu Feng didn't look at him, but said in a muffled voice: "Brother Zhou is familiar with Fengyue, and he must be a veteran of the show."
Zhou Yan was stunned for a moment, and said: "In the past, it was inevitable that there would be occasional dramas. If Brother Feng didn't like it, I would never set foot in the land of fireworks in the future."
Xu Feng coaxed him nicely, and he felt that the words were too serious. He didn't know where the anger came from, or he was tortured in the Palace of Bliss and hated such romantic affairs, or Zhou Yan treated him kindly, so he unconsciously became arrogant.
Xu Feng had a good introspection, and said: "It's my fault, I shouldn't meddle in Brother Zhou's affairs."
Zhou Yan said in his heart, I'm just getting what I want.
But he just smiled and didn't say it.
There were obscene noises coming from all the wing rooms that passed by along the way, Xu Feng tried not to listen carefully, and walked quickly, finally found the easternmost room.
Zhou Yan listened carefully and said, "There is no one in the room."
After a few fiddles with his hands, he unlocked the lock, pushed the door and walked in. This room is extremely gorgeously arranged, everything is exquisitely furnished, and it is also incensed, it is no different from the boudoir of an ordinary lady. It's just that the place is not big, what's inside can be seen at a glance, and Murong Fei is not hidden.
"Will there be any mechanism dark room?"
"Look for it first."
The two searched separately, but found nothing. At this time, Zhou Yan suddenly stopped, listened to the movement outside, and said: "Someone is here, and one of them is not weak in martial arts."
Xu Feng looked around and saw that there was no place to hide, so he wanted to open the window and jump out, but Zhou Yan turned on the embroidery bed and waved: "Brother Feng, come up."
Xu Feng was stunned for a moment.
Zhou Yan didn't wait for him any longer, and directly dragged him onto the bed, and then put down the bed curtain and lifted the brocade quilt, covering the two of them tightly.
