Ten miles outside Nanjing, there is a small pavilion. The pavilion is close to the riverside, the willows by the river are still clinging, and the willow branches flutter with the wind, which looks quiet and beautiful. The river is sparkling, maybe the weather is dull today, sometimes there are fish jumping out, and there are already some weeds around the small pavilion, which looks a little messy. But the pillars of the pavilion were very smooth, the paint was mottled and shiny, and it was evident that people had touched and rested for many years, and there was a plaque on the pavilion that read the word "Changting", and there was nothing else, not even a set of tables and chairs.

There is a person standing in the pavilion, looking at his gorgeous hair and green clothes, his hands are on his back, his five fingers are like jade carvings, his back is straight and straight, looking at the river and being stunned, as if it is a stone carving carved with a knife and axe. For some reason, there was a sad aura in the back that naturally emanated.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves came from a distance, and when I heard the sound of the hooves hurrying, one after another, I thought that the man who came on the horse must have something important to do, and he would come at a gallop. The people in the pavilion heard the sound of hooves from a distance, and gradually turned around, looking at his handsome face, but with a slight sadness, he didn't want to be in the abyss.

The man on the horse did not wait for the horse to stop, he had already jumped down, and saw that he was so powerful, but with his left hand pulling the reins, the horse neighed, and the front hooves stood upright, and the body of the man on the horse turned in the air, and the body was like a dragon, and like a feather, it fell lightly to three feet in front of Feng Linyuan. Seeing him facing the long pavilion, he stopped for a moment, and suddenly took a deep look at Feng Linyuan, and after a breath, he straightened up and said, "I haven't seen you for a few hours, Mr. Feng is not harmed?"

Feng Linyuan saw that it was him, and chuckled: "Feng is naturally fine, but the head of Yuan is not dealing with things in the imperial city, but he can come here to make an appointment, it is really rare!" It turned out that this person was actually Yuan Sheng, the chief manager of the Great Interior, and he looked at him in ordinary clothes, not like the usual clothes, but like an ordinary character in the rivers and lakes. Yuan Sheng shook his head and sighed: "If someone else makes an appointment, Yuan Sheng will definitely ignore it, but if Mr. summons him, Yuan Sheng will definitely go to the appointment!" Feng Linyuan's face turned pale, and he just said: "The things I promised you have been done, and now the manager should be able to tell me what you know, right?"

It turned out that there was a big battle between Feng Linyuan and Chen Liang and others this morning, and everyone was injured a lot, but at this time, Feng Linyuan was as if nothing happened, I really don't know how he did it. "Sir is worthy of being a believer, and he can really cure His Majesty's madness!" Yuan Sheng smiled: "With Mr. Chen's supernatural powers, I can't even keep you, our family is really ashamed!" Seeing that he was full of compliments, but did not mention what Fang Cai Feng Linyuan said, it seemed that he was suspected of shirking. Although Feng Linyuan had an idea in his heart, he didn't say it clearly, but said indifferently: "Hmph! It's just a trivial matter, it's not enough to worry about it! Feng still has important things, don't drag it out again, otherwise don't blame Feng's subordinates for being ruthless!"

Today, Feng Linyuan suddenly sneaked into the palace, and Yuan Sheng invited him, it turned out that when he left the Chen Mansion that day, Yuan Sheng got up to see him off, and reached a consensus with him in private: Zhu Yuanzhang was riddled with evil diseases, his spirit was getting worse, his temper was becoming more and more irritable, and he often punished the courtiers at every turn, and he was gradually unable to deal with state affairs. Yuan Sheng knew that he was highly poisoned in his body, but he didn't know what kind of poison he had in his body, let alone detoxify him.

He knows that the wind is in the abyss and is well versed in the art of detoxification, and there must be a way. In desperation, Yuan Sheng had to turn to him for help, hoping that he could detoxify Zhu Yuanzhang. In exchange, Motosheng will tell him clues about Jinxiu's disappearance. Originally, Feng Linyuan didn't want to pay attention to it, but he couldn't find it in the city, so he couldn't do it, so he agreed. Who would have thought that at this time, Yuan Sheng would deliberately prevaricate, which has to make people wonder if he really knows.

Yuan Sheng stepped forward and said with a smile: "Sir, don't worry, no matter how bold Yuan Sheng is, he won't dare to tease Mr." He paused for a moment before he said again: "However, according to the information obtained from the palace, Ling Yan did not come to Nanjing, let alone enter the Chen Mansion. When Feng Linyuan heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and said in a low voice: "In this way, someone deliberately misled me to go south to Nanjing, what is the purpose of this person who clearly said that Jinxiu entered Nanjing City?"

"The so-called one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, this person must have done this, presumably to use Mr. to fight with Confucian immortals, no matter who wins or loses, this person can take advantage of the fisherman!" Yuan Sheng couldn't help but explain when he saw that he was silent.

Thinking that this person was so scheming, both of them couldn't help but start worrying. Just when the two of them were relatively speechless, there was a sudden chirp, a bright light from the bottom to the top, until the extremely high place, suddenly exploded, only to see a beautiful fireworks bloom in the sky, the shape of this fireworks showed a golden peony flower shape, can be said to be extremely spectacular. Although it was noon, the sky was dark, and the fireworks were exceptionally bright in the sky. As soon as Yuan Sheng saw the fireworks, he knew that there was something in the city, and he was immediately anxious, he bowed his hand to Feng Linyuan, and hurriedly said: "There is something in the city, Yuan Sheng is inconvenient to accompany him, and I will make amends with Mr. later, and ask Mr. for forgiveness!" As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Sheng stretched his body and jumped on horseback.

Feng Linyuan saw that he was leaving, and immediately flicked his sleeves, and a majestic force pressed straight towards Yuansheng like a mountain. Yuan Sheng was in mid-air, and he didn't expect him to attack suddenly, his toes were a little on the horse's back, and his body jumped backwards, jumping straight to the willow tree by the lake. The horse was struck by Feng Linyuan, and immediately neighed, and then flew more than two feet away, and fell to the ground.

That horse weighed five or six hundred pounds, but Feng Linyuan hit it casually and knocked it flying. Yuan Sheng looked down and saw that the horse was injured, and his heart suddenly felt cold. Feng Linyuan slowly looked up at the willow tree, and saw Yuan Sheng standing on the top of the willow tree, his body rising and falling with the willow branches. Yuan Sheng also said angrily: "What does Mr. mean? Don't let Yuan leave?" Feng Linyuan said coldly: "Before Feng finished asking, does the manager want to leave?"

Yuan Sheng glanced at the direction of Nanjing City, and said anxiously: "Yuan Sheng knows everything according to the truth, why should Mr. be embarrassed by me?" Feng Linyuan ignored it, and just said: "Since the chief manager knows that someone wants Feng to fight with Confucian Immortals, then he must know who this person is, right?" Yuan Sheng shook his head and said: "It's not a secret, Yuan Sheng doesn't know." Feng Linyuan stared slightly, and the cold air in his eyes grew. As soon as Yuansheng touched his gaze for a while, he suddenly felt like he had received a heavy punch, and his chest breath was not smooth, he couldn't resist Feng Linyuan's gaze, so he had to say: "It's not that Yuansheng doesn't want to say, but I really don't know, that line is in the Beiping Palace." But his identity is not high, and he doesn't know much, but not long ago, a team of southeast pirates went north to see King Yan, but was rejected by King Yan. ”

"So, this matter has something to do with Zhu Di?" Feng Linyuan groaned: "But Zhu Di's life is upright, and he doesn't disdain to use these conspiracies, it can't be his ......" Yuan Sheng smiled gloomily, and said slowly: "It seems that Mr. already knows who it is! Then Yuan Mou will leave first......" Feng Linyuan sneered, and said with a gloomy face: "Before Feng Mou spoke, Mr. Yuan was afraid that he would not be able to go anywhere!" Yuan Sheng suddenly had a lot of patience before, but seeing that he was embarrassed again and again, he couldn't help but look more and more ugly, and said in a muffled voice: " Is it possible to deceive Mr. Yuan?"

"If the manager wants to go back, you can give it a try!" Feng Linyuan waved his sleeves and stood under his feet, looking extraordinarily breezy. Yuan Sheng knew that his martial arts were profound, and it was by no means as simple as it seemed on the surface. But there was a sudden signal in the city, and I thought that something big was happening, but I didn't know what was going on. Yuan Sheng looked at Feng Linyuan, and suddenly felt a stirring in his heart: "Mr. Feng, could it be that it is your people in the city who send the signal......

Feng Linyuan glanced at Nanjing City, but he didn't make a sound, but the sadness between his eyebrows grew, he paused and suddenly pursed his lips and whistled, and a sharp voice came out. The sound seemed to penetrate the clouds and penetrate the heavens and the earth, and although it was deafening, it gave people a pleasant feeling.

Just when Yuan Sheng was puzzled why he suddenly made such a strange noise, suddenly there was a sound of horses' hooves in the distance. When he looked up, he saw twenty or thirty horses galloping towards him, and although there were many horses, only one man rode on the leading horse. The sound of the horses' hooves was so consistent that it was as if only one horse had come and had been trained for many years.

When Yuan Sheng saw these many horses, he couldn't understand what his intentions were, and couldn't help asking, "What is the gentleman doing with these many horses?" Feng Linyuan ignored him, nodded to the person on the horseback, and ordered: "I'll go into the city, and you will wait here!" The man turned over and dismounted, bowed his hand to Feng Linyuan, and replied, "My subordinates obey!" Feng Linyuan turned his head and smiled at Yuan Sheng and said, "Since the manager wants to enter the city, how about Feng go with you?"

"Mr. Feng!" Yuan Sheng heard that he was going to enter the city, so he hurriedly said: "The city is full of forbidden soldiers and brocade guards who have captured you. If you enter the city, I'm afraid that you will cause trouble again in vain!" Feng Linyuan glanced at him, and then said slowly: "Feng Mou only has an appointment with people, but where will he have time to pay more attention to those ordinary people!" As he spoke, he turned around and strode forward, he took a few steps, but stopped again, and said without turning his head: "Isn't the manager still leaving? Do you want Feng to come and invite?" Yuan Sheng listened to him, only then did he wake up and hurriedly followed.

said that Xue Qingbi was waiting for Brother Lan Bin to come back, but suddenly heard a "chirp", his heart was terrified, and he was stunned, and the person had already rushed out of the door like flying. I saw that outside the door were the Lan Bin brothers, and the two stared at the sky blankly, not knowing where they were. When Xue Qingbi saw the fireworks in mid-air, she suddenly felt that it was on fire. It turned out that he knew that Lan Bin's move would inevitably attract rescue, and regretted that he was soft-hearted for a while and left a catastrophe. Xue Qingbi grabbed Lan Bin's wrist, regardless of the severity and the child's struggle, and brought it back.

"Hmph!" Xue Qingbi glanced at Mrs. Kong, and said in a manly voice: "Fang was soft-hearted for a while, and he actually gave you an opportunity to take advantage of, Madame is very wise, and Xue admires it!

Mrs. Kong saw that he gently put one hand on Lan Bin's shoulder, and did not make any other movements, but the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, thinking that he had threatened him, she couldn't help but feel confused in her heart, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that you can't be good today!" Lan Yu couldn't help but be a little annoyed when he saw that he was actually using a child as bait, but at this moment, he was helpless, and hurriedly said: "If the son has something to say, let's talk slowly, don't mess around!" Xue Qingbi saw that their words were finally a little loose, and she couldn't help but smile.

Lan Yu had no choice but to say: "As long as the son releases the two children, I am willing to offer the jade pendant with both hands." Xue Qingbi knew that there was not much time, and if she delayed any longer, the arrival of Lan Yu's rescue would inevitably cause countless troubles, but at this moment, she was already invincible, so she didn't need to worry too much. Immediately said: "Grandpa give me the jade pendant first, otherwise we won't talk about anything." Lan Yu knew that he had already been deceived once, and he was afraid that he would not believe himself. I had to say, "It's okay, it's for you!" Xue Qingbi saw him say this, and immediately unlocked his sealed acupoint.

Lan Yu walked to the desk, only to see that the desk is as usual, the pen and ink inkstone is readily available, the pen is made of goat hair, look at the tip of the pen head has a neat and transparent edge, obviously the current fashionable "lake pen"; ink is the inheritance of thousands of years of "Hui ink", a faint ink fragrance is swirling, there is a kind of fresh taste, not dispersed for a long time; the inkstone appears extraordinarily new, not like the old things, but it is the Chaotian rock that has only been mined in recent years, it is the best in the inkstone, all kinds of things are placed in a very orderly manner, so that people can know at a glance that it is a scholarly door. Lan Yu walked to the desk and reached out to grab the inkstone, which itself was as black as ink, and there was a faint scent of ink from some unused ink. I saw Lan Yu grab the inkstone and twist it violently to the right, and then to the left, everyone thought that he was going to open the mechanism, but they only heard two crisp sounds, and no other sounds. Lan Yu paused before walking to the bookshelf behind the desk and taking out a stack of books, revealing the things behind the books. But it was a roll of bamboo slips, and the bamboo slips were originally horizontally along the direction of the bookshelf, and Lan Yu straightened the bamboo slips, and the bookshelves finally slowly retreated to both sides.

It turns out that this method of opening the door is actually two organs, guarding layer by layer. Everyone was surprised to see a door peeking out behind the bookshelf. Lan Yu pushed open the wooden door first, and everyone followed inside, only to find that all kinds of precious calligraphy and paintings, gold and silver things, as well as some valuables were piled up in the secret room. Lan Yu didn't even glance at these things, and walked straight to the innermost partition wall, and saw that he would hold down the middle stone brick with his hand, and violently force it inside, and the stone brick would retreat inside, and only after all the stone bricks had receded did he pop out a small box from below. Lan Yu took the small box in his hand, turned to Xue Qingbi and said, "Xue Gongzi, this is the unicorn jade you got back then." ”

"Grandpa is a good means!" Xue Qingbi smiled: "I actually collected this jade pendant so carefully, if it wasn't for my grandfather to lead the way, Xue would not be able to find it in this life!" Lan Yu smiled bitterly: "No matter how good the collection is, it's useless!" Xue Qingbi immediately smiled and said: "Grandpa is useless to take it, but it is of great use to us, and I ask Grandpa to give it!" Lan Yu glanced at the two children, then stared at Xue Qingbi, and then stopped talking.

Xue Qingbi stared at Lan Yu for a moment, and suddenly took two steps forward, just standing in the middle of the secret room. This secret room has to be two zhang square, there is no other way out before and after, Xue Qingbi occupies the middle at the moment, no matter who wants to leave, they can't escape his palm. "Since Grandpa said so, then Xue will reunite you!" said that he really unlocked the acupoints of the two children and reunited them with the family. Lan Yu couldn't, so she had to throw the Qilin Jade over, and Xue Qingbi hurriedly reached out to pick it up.

Seeing that Xue Qingbi was about to receive it, suddenly a fine light flashed, hitting the box directly, and the small box flew upside down and crashed into Lan Yu's arms. Seeing this, Xue Qingbi's heart suddenly became angry, and when he looked back, it was Li Fang standing outside the door of the secret room. Xue Qingbi's eyes narrowed slightly, and she asked in a deep voice: "Gongzi Li, I don't know what you mean by this?" Li Fang smiled and said: "Li has no other intentions, but His Royal Highness the Taisun ordered: No one is allowed to embarrass the family of Liang Guogong until the emperor comes to his senses." ”

"Really?" Xue Qingbi said indifferently: "Since His Royal Highness the Taisun has ordered it like this, there is no way!" Several people couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief when they saw him say this. But he didn't want Xue Qingbi's feet to change, so he turned around and slapped Lan Yu on the chest. Lan Yu only felt a sharp pain in his chest, his body was numb for a while, and the person had already crashed into the stone wall behind him, and the box he had just obtained in his hand was also beaten to the ground. Xue Qingbi received the box with his left hand, and his right hand pulled the long sword backwards, cutting horizontally with a sword. Immediately forced Li Fang, who came to the rescue, to take two steps back, Xue Qingbi took the box, smiled at him slightly, and arched his hand: "Thank you Li Gongzi for agreeing, Xue said goodbye!"

The two greeted each other head-on, Xue Qingbi held the box in his left hand, and took out the sword in his right hand, seeing that his wrist flicked, the sword body trembled, and the tip of the sword turned into a little starlight and stabbed away. Li Fang saw that he was fierce, and his heart sank, knowing that Xue Qingbi's martial arts were profound, and he would be injured by him if he was not careful, so he immediately pulled out the long sword that was stuck diagonally behind his waist with his backhand, and grabbed it forward with his left hand, thinking that he could snatch the box back.

Suddenly, Li Fang only felt a shock in her body. It turned out that as soon as the two of them connected their long swords, they each fought with all their might, Xue Qingbi's skills were profound, and he did it with all his might, Li Fang was unexpected, and he was shocked to take two steps back, and his left hand was also empty. Li Fang saw that he was approaching, and he slapped it with a palm without thinking about it, Xue Qingbi knew that Feng Linyuan's palm was sharp, and he must be well versed in it if he wanted to come to Li Fang's teaching, so he didn't dare to be careless, looking at the long sword in his hand, he actually wanted to cut off Li Fang's hands. Seeing that the situation was critical, Li Fang hurriedly withdrew, and the long sword in his right hand swirled violently, forcing Xue Qingbi to retreat.

He didn't think that Xue Qingbi suddenly rose taller, and the long sword was a little above his sword, and he took advantage of the momentum to jump over the gap in his head. Seeing this, Li Fang hurriedly chased after him, seeing his brisk steps, he was about to arrive in two clicks. Suddenly he heard a shout, and he knew something was wrong and immediately retreated. When he turned around, it was Lan Yu calling him.

Li Fang walked quickly to the front, Lan Yu grabbed his wrist, and said bitterly: "Fang'er, don't chase, you listen to me......" Li Fang nodded, and asked in a low voice: "What do you command, but please say it directly!" Lan Yu sighed: "I have been for the country and the people all my life, and I didn't know until today that I was extremely wrong! The person who wants my life the most in the world is actually him......" Li Fang heard this, and hurriedly comforted: "Why don't you rest for a while!" Lan Yu shook his head and said: "I just stopped you, I really have something to ask for!" He said and glanced at Lan Bin Lan Chun. Li Fang understood, nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely protect Bin'er and Chun'er." ”

"You are really similar to your father!" Lan Yu suddenly looked at Li Fang, thinking of Li Qi, and couldn't help blurting out. Li Fang couldn't help but be stunned when he heard him talk about this, because he knew that his face was not very similar to his father. Lan Yu saw that he was a little confused, so he continued: "Your father is also chivalrous, always thinking about helping the world!" Li Fang heard him praise himself, and replied shyly: "You have won the award, in fact, ...... It was the master who ordered me, and if he said that if there is something in your family, let me keep your family safe!" Lan Yu's eyes widened, and he hesitated for a while before asking, "...... Are you okay?" Li Fang saw that his breath was weakening, for fear that he would not be able to persevere, so he hurriedly said softly: "Master, everything is fine, please rest assured!" As soon as he finished speaking, Lan Yu suddenly let out a "wow" sound and spit out a large mouthful of blood. Li Fang straightened him, connected to the acupoints on his chest, held his hands, and sent his true qi over in a steady stream.

Everyone was very nervous when they saw Lan Yu vomiting blood, but when they saw that Li Fang had given him qi to heal his injuries, they all calmed down. But at this time, suddenly a noise came faintly from the courtyard, and everyone's faces changed, obviously the Jinyi guards who came by order rushed over, preparing to arrest the Qin prisoner. Lan Yu breathed a sigh of relief, her face softened a little, and she hurriedly said, "Fang'er...... Take care of them for me, let's go!" Li Fang frowned slightly, and asked, "What about you, don't you go together?" Lan Yu shook his head and sighed: "If I leave, Jinyi Wei will definitely search for them, and I'm afraid no one will be able to leave at that time!"

As soon as Lan Yu's words came out, everyone knew that he had the idea of dying. Lan Bin and his brothers were already very uncomfortable when they saw him injured, but when they heard that he was not leaving, they immediately pulled Lan Yu's clothes and refused to let go! Lan Yu looked at them deeply, gritted his teeth, and said to Li Fang: "Did you see the oil lamp on the left when you entered the door?" Everyone looked for prestige, only to see a very ordinary oil lamp standing on the wall. Li Fang nodded and said, "I see, but what's ......" Lan Yu said: "That is the secret passage mechanism that opens this secret room, you can only go out and can't enter, you guys go from there!"

"You...... Are you really not leaving?" asked Li Fang again. Lan Yu moved his body and leaned against the wall, only then did he slowly shake his head and said, "No......" said without looking at everyone directly. Li Fang knew that he was reluctant in his heart, but now there was no other way, so he had to bow deeply to him, turned around and pulled the Lan Bin brothers and walked towards the oil lamp! As soon as it was opened, a cold wind rushed out of the secret passage, which turned out to lead from the side door of the secret room to the bottom. When Li Fang was about to go down, he suddenly found that the three ladies did not follow, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange, so he stopped. But when Mrs. Kong saw that the other two ladies did not leave, she was in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "The two sisters don't have to be like this, leave with Fang'er quickly." Lan Yu smiled bitterly and said: "I am going to die today, you should leave Fang'er!" but said that the three ladies shook their heads and said: "We are husband and wife, if we leave you at this time, wouldn't I be too sorry for you." Lan Yu was about to persuade her, but Mrs. Kong had already said: "Husband, don't say it again, the concubine is willing to accompany you, but Chun'er and Bin'er are still young, if there are no relatives to take care of them, the concubine is really not at ease!" She paused, then looked at the two ladies Mu and Hu, she bowed respectfully, and said: "The two sisters are virtuous and virtuous, and they will definitely take care of them, and my sister is here Thank you!" Before the two ladies Mu and Hu could say more, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps at the door, and it seemed that someone had already approached.

Mrs. Kong hurriedly got up and pushed Mu and Hu away, and hurriedly said, "Hurry up!" Seeing that the situation was critical, the two ladies looked at the two of them with teary eyes, and then turned around and followed. Li Fang knew that he couldn't delay any longer, so he went down first. As soon as the five of them walked into the secret passage, several brocade guards broke in at the door, and several people saw a figure at the entrance of the secret passage, and hurriedly followed in. When the first person saw the figure flash in, the door of the secret passage was slowly closing, his hand was pulled out at his waist, and the embroidered spring knife was thrown out casually, only to see that the knife was like a machine spring ejection, straight into the secret passage, and then everyone only heard a sharp scream, and there was no more sound, and the door of the secret passage also closed with a bang.
