The gate in the courtyard of the Feng family ancestral hall was kicked open by someone outside, and the person who came was the officers and soldiers of Yishui City, they knew this armor, and they had seen it when they entered Yishui City before.

Li Hanning subconsciously raised his sword to protect Li Zhao.

The officers and soldiers led by him walked into the courtyard and looked at the two of them, looked at Li Zhao and Li Hanning, frowned, and asked:

"Who are you? Dare to trespass on the Feng family ancestral hall? ”

Li Zhao glanced at Li Hanning on the side, and Li Hanning immediately realized and stepped aside.

Li Zhao took off the jade order tied around his waist and handed it closer to the general in front of him.

"Li Zhao of Huai'an City, come to pay tribute to General Feng Cheng, I don't know that General Feng Zhiyuan is in the city now?"

The generals of Yishui City in front of them were all stunned.

The jade order in his hand will not be fake, and the person in front of him is really Li Zhao, the city lord of Huai'an City.

This person has a special identity, and when it comes to the affairs of Huai'an City, he can't handle it with a small city guard, since he mentioned Feng Zhiyuan, it will naturally be handled by their General Feng.

"General Feng is still in the city, please come with me."

The man took them to Feng Zhiyuan's residence.

"Childe, please take a break here."

They waited in the lobby for a long time, and the subordinates of the Feng Mansion made a cup of hot tea for Li Zhao and Li Hanning, and after a while, they heard footsteps from far and near outside the lobby, and the person was approaching.

"I have heard for a long time that the son of Li Zhao in Huai'an City is famous, and when I see the son today, he is really a descendant of the Li family."

The person who came was none other than the lord of Yishui City, Feng Zhiyuan, the patriarch of the Feng clan, who looked a few years older than him.

Li Zhao also hurriedly stood up and saluted in return, and said politely to Feng Zhiyuan: "I'm really ashamed, when my father was still there, he often mentioned the name of Feng City Lord to me, and your demeanor of going to the north to negotiate peace talks alone back then was a model for my generation." ”

When the two of them met for the first time, they inevitably exchanged pleasantries and grievances.

After Feng Zhiyuan sat down, he raised his hand reassuringly, and retreated left and right, and now there were only three of them left in the lobby.

Feng Zhiyuan looked at Li Zhao and asked straight to the point: "I don't know why the prince came to my Yishui City?" ”

Li Hanning looked sideways slightly, he knew about the Feng family ancestral hall that Li Zhao went, but he never said a word, Feng Zhiyuan is really a person who does things without leakage, and he is exquisite.

Li Zhao's eyes also sank, and he said quietly on his face:

"When I was in Huai'an City, I was taken in by the Wen family, the lord of Huai'an City at that time, he had a life-saving grace for me, in the past, when the Wen patriarch was alive, in addition to my wife and daughter, there was only one righteous son Fang Jiuge by his side, and I was devoted to him."

Li Zhao looked at Feng Zhiyuan, who was sitting on the side and said, "Brother Feng has heard of this name before, he was once a close friend of my brother, my brother heard about General Feng a few days ago and resigned from me in Huai'an City, wanting to come to Yishui City." ”

Revenge for Feng Cheng.

Feng Zhiyuan seemed to understand something when he heard this, and then asked, "So, Gongzi is here to find Fang Jiuge this time?" ”

Li Zhao took the opportunity to admit it, nodded and said: "Exactly, I didn't want to cause trouble for Brother Feng this time, so I hope Brother Feng will forgive me, we didn't say hello to you in advance before we entered the city, I thought he would go to the ancestral hall to pay tribute to General Feng Cheng first, thinking that I should meet him here." ”

I never thought that as soon as he and Li Hanning arrived at the Feng family ancestral hall, those city guards arrived the next moment.

This is the reason given by Li Zhao to appear here.

Feng Zhiyuan is a smart person, he may not fully believe what Li Zhao said, but he will never debunk Li Zhao in person at this time.

Li Zhao looked at Feng Zhiyuan in front of him and said, "But I came here this time, although I didn't find Jiu Ge, I found another interesting thing. ”

Feng Zhiyuan knew in his heart, it was the ancestral hall of their Feng family, of course he knew very well what was in it, but for now he was still willing to cooperate with him to play a play:

"What did Childe find?"

Li Zhao looked sideways at Feng Zhiyuan, who was sitting on the side, and said in response: "The corpse lying there is not Brother Ling Feng Cheng. ”

Feng Zhiyuan's expression was stunned, and his expression darkened again, and he frowned and asked, "Why did Childe say this?" ”

"That corpse is indeed wearing General Yi Shui's armor, and his body is similar to General Feng Cheng."

The corpse's face was covered with blood scabs, and it was almost rotten, so they thought it was Feng Cheng, and they judged that he was Feng Cheng based on the general's armor and body shape that were different from ordinary soldiers.

But it's just as easy to impersonate him.

Feng Zhiyuan glanced at Li Hanning, the guard beside him: "The one that Li Zhao Gongzi can bring over at this time must also be a trustworthy person." ”

His gaze fell on Li Zhao again: "What Gongzi said is good, that is indeed not Feng Cheng." ”

It seems that this is the reason why he has not been buried for a long time.

Li Hanning looked slightly sideways when he heard this, in this way, the real General Feng Cheng may still be alive, if he is alive, the gap between Yishui and Luoyang can be easily solved now, but things don't seem to be so simple, since Feng Cheng is still alive, he didn't return to Yishui after that war, there should be other changes that they don't know.

Feng Zhiyuan here naturally knew that it was not his brother's body that Cheng An sent over at that time, Feng Fu had been assassinated before, at that time, Feng Cheng had blocked a poisoned arrow for Feng Zhiyuan, and the wound on his body was healed, but the residual poison left a black mark on his arm, and there was no such black mark on the body of this corpse, so the night the body was transported to the ancestral hall, Feng Zhiyuan found out about it.

Li Zhao quickly followed up and asked, "Then in the past few days, has General Feng Cheng contacted you?" ”

Li Zhao wanted to confirm whether Feng Cheng was still alive, and this matter was very important.

Feng Zhiyuan shook his head, sighed softly and said, "Childe doesn't know, my younger brother grew up with me since he was a child, if he is safe now, he will definitely find a way to get in touch with me and me." ”

It is impossible for Feng Cheng to be safe, and he is still worried in vain, it is very likely that he is still alive, but he can't contact Feng Zhiyuan yet, someone is blackmailing him, or there is no way to pass on the news where he is, these are all possible.

This is also the reason why Feng Zhiyuan now knows that Feng Cheng is probably still alive, but he does not dare to post notices looking for people everywhere, he can only recognize the corpse of the ancestral hall in front of outsiders as his younger brother Feng Cheng.

But Li Zhao's identity is different.

Feng Zhiyuan himself is actually very clear in his heart: "With the temperament of the second son of Luoyang King Xiao, since he has sent General Cheng An to Yishui to return his corpse in a bright and bright manner, he will not make more fuss about this matter, of course it is not Luoyang who harmed my brother, but I am not sure if it is my Yishui person, or the imperial court." ”

They Yi Shui is now peaceful on the surface, but who really knows if there are any people harboring evil intentions under the peace on the surface, Feng Zhiyuan has also been assassinated in the past, Feng Cheng has held Yi Shui's heavy troops before, naturally Yi Shui also has people who don't want him to come back safely.

Li Zhao said to Feng Zhiyuan in front of him: "I have a plan, maybe I can find out where Brother Ling is now, and it doesn't hurt for Brother Feng to give it a try." ”

Li Zhao went to the ancestral hall today and had already measured that there must be people guarding the other party around the ancestral hall, Li Hanning's action of knocking out the guards was clean and neat, and the Feng family ancestral hall was not in the center of Yishui City, and there were not a few people here for half a day, but the officers and soldiers of Yishui City came quickly, and at that time they didn't even stand in the lobby for a stick of incense.

Li Hanning understood that their son-in-law was now suspecting that there was something wrong with the people in the Yishui City barracks, especially the officers and soldiers who stopped Li Zhao and the others at that time.

*

Here, Luo Yaozhi had already learned from the people of the Feng Mansion that Feng Zhiyuan had met Li Zhao alone, he was already the head of the city guards, and it was understandable to know the news quickly.

"I see, let's go down."

He waved his hand and let the guards who had been staring at the Feng Mansion retreat, no matter why Li Zhao came to the ancestral hall today, after all, he and Feng Cheng's corpses had been alone for a while, I was afraid that something strange had already been discovered, for the sake of insurance, he naturally still had to inform the Lord of Chang'an.

"My lord, it's not good!"

A guard walked over with his head bowed.

Luo Yaozhi frowned: "What's wrong?" What are you panicking about? ”

The man replied: "The Feng ancestral hall is on fire, and Feng Cheng's adult body is still inside, if the fire spreads, I'm afraid it will be too late to save it." ”

Luo Yao was a little stunned, and shouted in a low voice: "What are you still doing in a daze, don't you hurry up and bring someone to fight the fire!" ”

The man bowed his head and replied, "Yes!" ”

Just as the person was about to walk to the door, Luo Yaozhi seemed to react to something and said, "Slow." ”

The corpse was originally fake, and they had been afraid that people would see something, and Feng Zhiyuan refused to bury people on the grounds of the Feng family's burial customs, which was originally a troublesome thing for them, and now isn't it the best solution?

"You go find someone first, and then I go to fight the fire when I go over to find a water source."

He clearly didn't want to put out the fire, but he didn't say to his subordinates he didn't know not to save him, Li Hanning thought in his heart that this was also a leaky old fox.

"Yes."

By the time they finally arrived at the ancestral hall, the fire had been extinguished, and the smell of smoke was everywhere, almost making people unable to open their eyes, but fortunately, a Feng Zhiyuan's guards came in time, and the fire was finally controlled, only the hall where the corpses were parked was burned, and the rest were intact.

"It's because I'm late, I couldn't save Lord Feng's body, please punish the city lord."

Li Hanning stood behind him wearing a suit of easy-to-water armor, and raised his eyebrows unconsciously when he heard this, he obviously just came here, how did he know that Feng Cheng's body was still in the fire?

He knelt on the ground, knowing that Feng Zhiyuan didn't react.

I had to bow my head again and ask, "I wonder if the city lord has found out what caused the fire in the ancestral hall?" ”

Feng Zhiyuan said in a deep voice: "It's someone who set the fire." ”

I don't know who is so bold, isn't it deliberately setting fire here to get along with the Feng family? But it also helped them a lot.

"I wonder who dares to act so boldly?"

Li Hanning took a step forward and raised his eyes to look at him, they had met when they were in the ancestral hall before, and Luo Yao recognized it, there were some differences.

Li Hanning looked at him and replied calmly, "I put the fire." ”
