Chapter 4: To the Imperial Capital (3)
"Did you find out?" Yun Bong was amazed at her acuity. It seems that her judgment of her countrymen at first was premature.
"The innkeeper's wife, so to speak, is the innkeeper." Dragonflies are in the chest.
"Men dressed as women?"
"There is a kung fu in the rivers and lakes, which can change from a man to a woman, from a woman to a man, and it is called Yin and Yang Circulation Technique. To practice this skill, you need to take Zhuyan Pill for a long time and keep your body at about 30 years old. Did you notice any changes in the boss lady when you went out today? β
"Change?" Yun Feng pondered carefully for a while, "The makeup has changed, I looked haggard last night, but today I look radiant, and I also wear plum blossom makeup." β
"Her skin has become firm and delicate, and the wrinkles on her face are gone."
"Based on that alone, you can conclude that she has taken the Zhuyan Pill?"
"Of course not, there is a strange fragrance in the Yan Dan, I just asked her to buy food, and I smelled this fragrance on her." Dragonfly explained.
Hearing her say this, Yun Feng was a little more curious about her.
"Do you still know the taste of Zhuyan Dan?"
"Who am I, Liu Dragonfly, up to the prefect and county order, down to the local ruffians and hooligans, and the Daoist Sect is clear ......" Seeing that Yun Feng's face was a little wrong, Dragonfly immediately stopped talking and changed the topic and said: "I saved a Jianghu man before and learned something from him." β
"In the future, those things must not be done again." Yun Feng said with a serious expression.
Dragonfly reacted immediately, he followed behind Liu Qingzhi that day, and he listened to all the words she said to Liu Qingzhi.
"You must know that what you represent is the face of the Yunshi family......"
"I know, I know, I don't do it, it's like an old mother......," Dragonfly complained and said.
Yun Feng sighed again, it seemed that compared to General Shi's case, the person in front of him was the most headache and troublesome.
"The boss doesn't seem to have any ill will towards us, why are you in such a hurry?" Dragonfly asked him.
"There is no malice now, it does not mean that there will be no after, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years."
The dragonfly couldn't understand and shrugged indifferently.
The atmosphere in the car fell into embarrassment again, and neither of them said anything.
After sleeping for a few hours, coupled with Yun Feng's promise, Dragonfly had nothing to worry about, and the whole person relaxed, and from time to time he lifted the curtain to look at the scenery outside the window.
The green trees are like a tree, the yellow flowers are dotted, looking at a hundred miles, the yellow and green are alternate, and the beauty is like a picture.
"It's the first time I've been out of the house." Dragonfly's eyes are full of surprise brilliance, and she is happy to see everything.
"I heard that you followed Liu Zhutou to investigate the case at the age of ten, and entered the government at the age of thirteen and helped the yamen arrest many fugitives."
"Daddy taught me martial arts, Uncle Qing taught me interrogation, and I spent most of my time in the prison interrogating prisoners." After thinking about it, the dragonfly pouted and said, "I've been to a closer place a few times, and I got into a little trouble, but Daddy won't let me go out with him." β
"Are you talking about the burning of the Liuyun Pavilion and the shipwreck of the Xuehua River?"
"How do you know?"
"Liuyun Pavilion is one of the favorite places of literati and artists, and I was also present when the Liuyun Pavilion was burned."
"Huh? Such a coincidence? β
"The silver, I'll help you pay for it."
"What?" Dragonfly glared at him in surprise, he didn't expect that there would be such a relationship between them.
"Three years ago, Fu Xiao brutally killed more than 100 people in Dream City, which was notorious, and I had just served as Shaoqing of Dali Temple at that time, which was the first case I was responsible for supervising. You burned Liuyun Pavilion and caught him, but you actually helped me, so I really deserve to pay for the silver. β
Three years ago, when Dragonfly was thirteen years old, Liu Qingzhi accepted her into the county government to catch fast. Fu Xiao's case caused a sensation in most of the Yin merchants, and the emperor allowed Shaoqing of Dali Temple to act cheaply. After Yun Feng found out that he was in Liuyun City, he dispatched arresters from five nearby counties to set up a bureau in Liuyun City to arrest him.
Liuyun City is one of the three famous elegant cities of Yin Shang, and there are literati and ink writers who come and go, and the future courtiers of Yin Shang will also come out of these people, so Yun Feng does not dare to make a big move, so as not to disturb these literati, so he can only use the slowest method.
Qinghe County's fishing is also within the scope of being transferred, and Dragonfly begged Liu Xing to take her to see the world. Liu Qingzhi originally planned to let her go to Liuyun City at public expense, but she didn't expect to bump into Fu Xiao and enter Liuyun Pavilion.
After she sent out the signal flare, she chased Fu Xiao into Liuyun Pavilion, and found Fu Xiao on the third floor who was drinking and chanting poetry with the literati. The two are very different in size and experience, and Dragonfly is naturally not Fu Xiao's opponent, when she is in danger, she casually throws out the candlestick to gain a moment of respite for herself.
The candlestick ignited the silk and quickly spread throughout the Liuyun Pavilion, and the guests inside rushed to flee, and in the chaos, Dragonfly took advantage of his petite stature to stab Fu Xiao with a dagger and tie him up as he tried to escape.
When Liu Xing came in to save people, what he saw was Fu Xiao, who was injured and tied up in the open space on the first floor, and the dragonfly who smiled at him. Fiery serpents roared and danced around them.
Dragonfly thought that Liu Xing would be proud of her, after all, she single-handedly caught the felony wanted by the government.
"I didn't expect to get a loud slap in the face, and be grounded for half a month." Every time I think of this, the dragonfly has to sigh for a long time.
"Liu Zhutou is also worried about you." Yun Bong said with a smile.
Thinking of that time, he had to praise Dragonfly for his unchaos and courage and resourcefulness.
"How did you come up with the idea of throwing all the silk out of the first floor?"
"The first floor of Liuyun Pavilion is specially built with a flowing water rockery, and the wood used to make beams and columns is brushed with a layer of fireproof paint, so the most likely ones to catch fire in it are those silks."
"I didn't expect you to have such resourcefulness at such a young age." Yun Feng praised from the heart. In fact, after he entered Liuyun Pavilion at that time, he could see everything that happened at a glance, and now that he was chatting with her again, it was just a boring trip and a boredom.
For his compliment, the dragonfly was obviously very useful, and her eyes were so happy that they smiled like crescents.
"What about the shipwreck Xuehuajiang, I've only heard of this thing, but I haven't experienced it myself."
"Actually, the people on the boat are all horse bandits, and I don't know how to become a chivalrous warrior." Dragonfly said with a frown.
Just as she was about to start speaking, the carriage suddenly stopped. Yun Feng's face changed, hugged her and flew out immediately.
Just listen to "Bang! There was a loud bang, and the carriage they were in was torn apart.
"This is ......" Without waiting for the dragonfly to react, Yun Bong carried her and spun around and landed on a tree. During this time, she only heard a few sounds of breaking through the air, like arrows, but they were thicker and heavier than ordinary arrows, and they should be short arrows made of pure iron.
"Someone is going to kill us?" Dragonfly stared excitedly at Yun Bong and asked.
Yun Bong looked down at the dragonfly with glowing eyes, and reluctantly let out a "hmm" word from his throat.
"What is it......" Before the word could be said, there was another sound of breaking the air, and Yun Feng held the dragonfly and spun around several times in succession, and finally fell to the ground.
At this time, the dragonfly saw two people lying in a pool of blood not far away, one was a coachman and the other was Yun Feng's guard.
"And a guard?" The dragonfly became alert and looked around for the figure.
"I guess I was led away." Yun Bong replied,
Dragonfly didn't know why he was so sure, couldn't it be a defection?
"What now?" Dragonfly asked.
Soon, three men in black with knives fell from the sky and surrounded the two.
Yun Bong looked down at the dragonfly and said four words to her, "Close your eyes." β
The dragonfly didn't understand why she had to close her eyes, but she obediently closed them.
She only felt that she was under the traction of Yun Feng, turning for a while, moving forward and backward for a while. The sound of breaking flesh was heard throughout the process.
When she thought it was Yun Bong who was injured and opened a slit in her eye, what she saw was a silver sword piercing into the chest of the man in black in front of her, and the man in black looked past her in disbelief and looked at the person behind her.
"Whew!" With a bang, the sword returned, and the man in black fell to the ground in response.
"Are you alright?" Yun Bong's worried voice came from behind him. Dragonfly turned stiffly and saw that his face was still unchanged, as if nothing had happened just now, and if it weren't for the bloody sword still in his hand, Dragonfly would really think that she was dreaming about the scene just now.
"You...... Still a master? Dragonfly subconsciously took a step back and asked blankly.
"In my early years, I spent a while with my master on the rivers and lakes."
"Then your master ......"
"When you wake up, you only sit in front of the flowers, and when you are drunk, you come to sleep with the flowers; Half-awake and half-drunk, day after day, flowers fall and bloom year after year. β
"Brew Fairy Hanchen?"
"The rivers and lakes give it this name."
Dragonfly was stunned, she remembered that she slapped him again, and shouted in the street to lead the neighbors to scold him and beat him, if he wasn't a gentleman, she would have been in a different place a long time ago.
At this time, a man in Xuanyi flew over and landed behind him.
"Senior brother, are you okay?" The other party asked Yun Fengdao.
It turned out that this was his junior brother, no wonder he was so sure that people were led away, not betrayed.
"The carriage was wrecked, but luckily the horse was still there." Yun Feng looked at the dragonfly, and the meaning of the inquiry was obvious.
"I'm not that delicate, and besides, I'm actually okay with horsemanship." Dragonfly replied.
In this way, the three of them turned over and got on their horses, and Yun Feng and his junior brother Liu Luo protected the dragonfly in one left and one right.
Horses step on mountains and rivers, and walk with the sun. When the daylight turned warm yellow and the edge faded, the three of them finally arrived at the next stop, Changyang County.
"Oh my God, I can finally rest." The dragonfly stretched and thumped her sore leg again. Fortunately, they came in time to close the gates. Otherwise, you will have to eat and sleep in the open.
"Dragonfly, if you're not used to riding a horse, we'll buy a carriage again tomorrow." Yun Feng said intimately.
"No, no, I like horseback riding the most, at home, my father always thinks that his daughter's family likes these things and it is not easy to marry in the future, so he won't let me do it, and now that it's out, I want to do everything I like and want to do." After speaking, Dragonfly handed the reins to the shopkeeper and walked straight into the inn.
Yun Feng could tell from the way she walked that after a day of riding a horse, her legs must be sore at the moment, but she still persisted.
"Senior brother, your fiancΓ©e will have enough for you to drink a few pots in the future." Liu Luo stared at the dragonfly's back with an expression of watching the play.
"Be cautious in words and deeds. You can't break through because there is too much nonsense. After speaking, Yun Feng gave the reins to the shopkeeper and left with his hands behind his back.
