"And what about the price of your intelligence?" Duan Feng asked.

"It depends on the difficulty of obtaining intelligence and the popularity of intelligence, and the specific situation is analyzed on a case-by-case basis. ”

Duan Feng lowered his eyes and thought for a while, he was determining what to ask, thinking about the silver taels in his pocket, after all, this escape was too hasty, and he didn't have much silver taels on his body.

"I don't know if the two guest officers have anything to ask?" asked the shopkeeper with a grin.

Duan Feng bit his lip, his heart sank, and said, "Do you have any news about Phoenix?"

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and then replied with a smile on his face: "Yes! Yes, of course, but the information in Phoenix City has been a bit expensive recently." ”

"Why? Could it be that something big happened in Phoenix?" Liu Yuwei hurriedly asked, and the two of them drove the carriage along the way, not to rest for a moment, let alone inquire about the news.

"Isn't it, don't you know about such a big thing?" Xiao Er looked at Duan Feng and the two of them in disbelief.

"What the hell is going on?" Duan Feng grabbed Xiao Er's arm, and because of the too much force, Xiao Er jumped up with a snort and tried to break free of Duan Feng.

Duan Feng hurriedly let go of his hand and quickly apologized, while asking about Phoenix City.

The shopkeeper covered his arm, looking at Duan Feng's anxious appearance, secretly happy in his heart, knowing that he could make a lot of money.

"I have some information here, but ......" The shopkeeper looked at the roof obliquely, stretched out his right hand and shook it in front of Duan Feng.

Duan Feng hurriedly took out a gray cloth bag from his arms and put it in the hands of the shopkeeper, who tossed it hard, there were a hundred taels, and smiled with satisfaction.

"As far as I know, Phoenix City and even the entire Nanhai County have changed now. Xiao Er said mysteriously.

"What do you mean?" asked Liu Yuwei.

"It is said that three days ago, Liu Nanchun, the young commander of the Phoenix City Qi Control Division, and the commander of the Imperial Forest Army took advantage of Duan Tiande's entry into Beijing to face the saint, launched a mutiny, seized the military power of Nanhai County, and imprisoned Duan Tiande. ”

"Impossible!" Liu Yuwei denied.

The shopkeeper was taken aback by Liu Yuwei's overreaction and looked at her in surprise.

Liu Yuwei hurriedly explained: "I mean that Lord Duan is very popular, and the Duan family is so powerful, how can he be easily imprisoned?"

"Hey, what's impossible? As the saying goes, it's easy to dodge with an open gun, but it's hard to guard against a hidden arrow. Now the whole county of Nanhai County has been put under martial law, and the Imperial Forest Army has taken over the defense of Yiyang City and Yecheng. The shopkeeper said in a low voice.

When Duan Feng heard this, his heart was half cold, although he didn't know what was going on, but he knew that the matter was already very dangerous, and one of the masterminds of the whole thing turned out to be Liu Nanchun.

Liu Yuwei's face was also ugly at this time, although she knew that there was a conflict between her brother and the Duan family, but she didn't expect it to reach the point where water and fire were incompatible.

"And what's the current situation?" Duan Feng asked eagerly.

"Now that the general trend of Nanhai County has been decided, I am afraid that it is no longer possible for the Duan family to turn the tables, Duan Yun and Sima Ran, who are good friends with the Duan family, were sent to Moonlight City, or it will not be long before they are afraid of being slaughtered. The shopkeeper said with a look of pity.

"In this way, wouldn't the Duan family be in a catastrophe?" Duan Feng looked at Liu Yuwei thoughtfully, his eyes full of worry.

Liu Yu's face was slightly sad, his eyes were full of sadness, even if he complained about the eldest brother in his heart, and he felt deeply guilty about Duan Feng, but at this time, any words seemed inappropriate.

Liu Yuwei could only quietly wait for the shopkeeper to explain more information, in order to make a turnaround.

"Not really. The shopkeeper replied mysteriously.

"What do you mean by that?" Duan Feng's eyes flashed with a glimmer of hope.

Liu Yuwei also straightened up, looking forward to the second shopkeeper being able to give good news.

"It is said that the second son of the Duan family had escaped from Phoenix City before the incident and was missing. And according to reliable information, the super qi element in the second son's body has signs of rebirth, if the second son's super qi element is really reborn, then the result is probably not easy to say. The shopkeeper pouted with a look of affirmation.

Duan Feng was suddenly shocked in his heart, he didn't know whether the qi yuan in his body was reborn or not, how did this little second know about it? Although there had been signs of this before, but only Wen Bo and himself knew about this matter, how did this little second know about it, but looking at Xiao Er's positive expression, I am afraid that this matter will not be fake.

However, based on the information given by Xiao Er, he knew in his heart that the matter was irreparable, and his father and eldest brother were also in danger, no matter whether his qi yuan was reborn or not, he had to do something to make up for the monstrous disaster he had committed.

Duan Feng stood up slowly, threw off the shopkeeper and turned around and walked out, without taking into account Liu Yuwei, who was also anxious next to him.

Liu Yuwei hurriedly chased out to block Duan Feng's way, and said, "If you go back now, it's tantamount to throwing yourself into a net!"

"Even so, I must go back, for I cannot just walk away because of me. ”

"It won't help you go back, the top priority is to figure out the ins and outs of the matter before making the next step, I believe that my eldest brother will not hurt Lord Duan." ”

Duan Feng stopped and looked at Liu Yuwei, he originally wanted to ask what would happen to Liu Nanchun if she really wanted to kill his family, but when the words came to his lips and swallowed back, he felt that this was a little cruel to Liu Yuwei.

It is no secret that the two families have been fighting openly and secretly over the years, although they were young in the past, they are not completely ignorant of it, but they have been selectively ignoring it, and Liu Yuwei is the same.

But now, both of them knew that they could no longer pretend not to know as before, and although they felt that there was a thousand catties under their feet, Duan Feng still involuntarily took a small step back, and opened a distance from Liu Yuwei.

The two looked at each other speechlessly, and could only stand miserably.

"Hey, guest officer!" the voice of the shopkeeper broke the silence between the two.

The shopkeeper looked at the two of them, and guessed roughly eight points in his heart, so he squeezed between the two with a smile on his face, and said: "If you have any needs in the future, you can contact the little one at any time, maybe, I can answer one or two questions for the guest officer." ”

Duan Feng sorted out his thoughts, knowing that this was not the time to mourn and complain, and said, "Thank you, little second brother, if you have something in the future, you must ask for advice." As he spoke, Duan Feng bowed his hand and prepared to leave.

"Don't, don't!" shopkeeper hurriedly stopped Duan Feng, then took out a cyan feather from the back of his head, handed it to Duan Feng, and said, "If you need anything in the future, you can set this feather on fire, and then recite a spell, and I will come out to meet." ”

Duan Feng and the others looked at Xiao Er in surprise, and couldn't help but look behind him, not knowing where Xiao Er got the feathers.

"What kind of spell is it?" Duan Feng wondered.

The shopkeeper looked around sneakily, and was sure that there was no one around, so he whispered in Duan Feng's ear for a while.

Liu Yuwei only felt that Duan Feng's face was a little strange, even a little unnatural, but he didn't dare to ask directly.

As soon as he finished saying the spell, the shopkeeper's eyes were flustered, dodging, and he seemed to be worried about being discovered.

Duan Feng silently recited the spells on both sides in his heart, and when he saw the shopkeeper so flustered, he was very puzzled in his heart, and said, "Why is the little second brother so ......?"

Without waiting for Duan Feng to finish speaking, he only heard the sound of "Peng!", a puff of green smoke rose in front of him, Duan Feng covered his face with his hands, and suddenly a fist-sized blue bird flew out of the smoke, flapping its wings and hovering in front of Duan Feng.

"Don't forget to contact me!"

The blue bird's mouth opened and closed to a certain extent, and Duan Feng believed that the sentence just now was indeed what the blue bird said.

Although Duan Feng was shocked, after all, he had seen a lot of rare birds and beasts, so his heart immediately calmed down.

Duan Feng opened his mouth and said, "Okay." ”

Before the words fell, the bluebird flapped its wings and rose into the air and disappeared into the air.

Before Duan Feng could figure out what was going on, he saw a bearded man with a pig-killing knife rushing out of the inn angrily, shouting, "Where is the little evil animal!"

Duan Feng looked at the sky, and then at the big man who was thundering, knowing that the little evil animal in the big man's mouth was naturally the blue bird just now, but out of kindness, he didn't pay attention to the big man.

The big man looked around for a while, but found no trace of the blue bird, so he returned to the inn angrily, and when he left, he looked at the feather in Duan Feng's hand casually, and said angrily: "I was robbed and bought by that little evil animal again!"

Duan Feng and Liu Yuwei walked down the street together, and he decided to ignore the rights and wrongs of the two families for the time being, and besides, the affairs of the two families were by no means right or wrong.

What they need to do now is to rush back to Phoenix as soon as possible and do their best to salvage the situation out of control.

Along the way, the two of them didn't say anything, but they were a little puzzled by the things around them, and they saw the sound of "bump, bump!" kept coming from both sides.

Then several bluebirds flew out of the smoke, flapped their wings and disappeared into the vast air.

Later, Duan Feng learned that the name of those cyan birds was called Blue Bird, which was a kind of divine beast that could transform into a human form, and had a super memory, extremely fast speed, and could travel thousands of miles a day.

That's why they became spies for the news of this eight-sided city, some blue birds will sign a contract with the human race, and the two sides will cooperate to make money together, while some blue birds don't like to be bound by others and choose to go it alone, but this will inevitably touch the interests of some human races, and this will appear in the scene just now.

Although Duan Feng was extremely worried in his heart, he also knew that returning directly to Phoenix City would definitely be in vain, and it was likely to take his own life.

After the two discussed, Duan Feng decided to go to Moonlight City first and discuss countermeasures with his eldest brother, while Liu Yuwei returned directly to Phoenix City to inquire about the news, and the two agreed on a meeting time, and then parted ways.

However, it was said that Duan Feng left Bamian City and traveled day and night all the way, constantly inquiring about the news of Phoenix City.

However, all the way to the top, rumors about Phoenix City came and went, and Duan Feng couldn't judge whether it was true or false, and he became more and more anxious in his heart.

Three days later, Duan Feng came to Moonlight City, and Sima Ran had already sent someone to wait at the door.

"The eldest young master had long expected you to come here, so he ordered me to wait here. A mid-level officer in armor took the reins from Duan Feng's hand and led Duan Feng into the city gate at night.

Seeing the eldest brother who was getting thinner, Duan Feng's nose was sour, and his tears couldn't stop flowing, and the two brothers hugged him tightly, hiding their faces and crying.

After Sima Ran's persuasion, the two stopped their tears.

"How is my father, how are the rest of my family?" Duan Feng asked impatiently.

"Don't worry, my father is still in Phoenix City at the moment, and it's fine. Duan Yun comforted.

"It's all my fault! This incident is all because of me!" Duan Feng blamed himself.

"You don't have to blame yourself, this matter is not all your fault, even if it wasn't you, Liu Nanchun and Ouyang Zhen would find a way to get rid of our Duan family. Duan Yun was comforted.

"Ouyang Zhen has not been afraid of the power of the Lord for a day or two, this time it is just an excuse for him. Sima Ran added, "So Second Young Master, you don't have to blame yourself too much. ”

"So what are we going to do next? We can't sit still, can we?"

"I have already sent a few people to infiltrate Phoenix City to find out the news, and it is not too late to make plans when there is news, and now Nanhai County is not completely controlled by Liu Nanchun, and all forces are waiting, and he does not dare to do anything to his father in a short time. ”

Duan Feng had no choice but to obey his eldest brother's arrangement and hide in Moonlight City.

I don't know why, three days have passed, and the spies sent by Duan Yun have disappeared like mud cows into the sea, and even Liu Yuwei has no news.

Duan Feng was even more anxious in his heart, but he didn't dare to show up easily, and the eldest brother was even more firmly monitored by Liu Nanchun's spies in Moonlight City, and he couldn't move a step.

By the fifth day, news about Duan Tiande's disadvantage began to spread in Moonlight City, and the secret agents sent by Liu Yuwei and Duan Yun still had no news.

Duan Feng was a little impatient, so he took advantage of the night to sneak out of Moonlight City and sneak back to Phoenix City.
