Chapter 23: Aftermath
Because Xiao Feng's previous prestige still exists, Yun Feiyang and the others trembled very smoothly in Taoyuanju, even if that innate realm didn't seem to have a good temper at all, and they were very obedient.
As for Qiao Niang, she never appeared again.
Yun Feiyang behaved very well: Tao Jun was a commoner, so he was naturally sent to the county government; Yan Xingtian and Liu Yu belonged to the rivers and lakes, because this matter was managed by Xiao Feng, of course, they were sent directly to the Ethereal Tower, as for whether they would be abolished and cultivated, or they would be imprisoned in hell for repentance, they must know soon.
The Hundred Prisons of Hell is an accessory that Xiao Feng made by the way when he built the Ethereal Tower, and it has been used to imprison the demons and congenital masters who made big mistakes that Xiao Feng encountered during his travels in the past few years, and very few people know about it.
Of course, this 'hundred' is not the other 'hundred', but an imaginary number.
When Xiao Feng returned to Lanmei Garden, Yu Yi obviously hadn't come back yet, which surprised Xiao Feng a little. According to Yu Yi's character, this is very abnormal.
After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Feng quickly put aside the matter of Yiyi. After all, with Yu Yi's skills, he should be self-preservation. It's really something, there is no news coming, and he is just asking for trouble here, so it's better not to think about it.
After sending Xiao Tianyue to rest, when he had nothing to do, Xiao Feng took out a jade pendant from his arms.
The jade pendant is light brown and slightly transparent, and its front is engraved with a head that looks like a dragon and a dragon, a big snake that looks like a python and not a python, and a Liu character is engraved on the back in cursive font, which is the one that Xiao Feng found in Taoyuan Residence before.
Looking at the jade pendant, Xiao Feng sighed in distress.
Before the founding of Xifeng, there were naturally countless people who could be called strategists and warriors, but there were not many names and surnames that could be recorded in the history books, and there were even fewer that could be emphatically recorded. Therefore, most of the names that appear in the history books represent great contributions to the stream.
Liu Hongwei, Liu Hongjie, these two names almost appear in the major history books of Xifeng. Not for anything else, just because nearly half of the great rivers and mountains of Xifeng are the merits of the two of them.
One article makes the world's advisers ashamed of themselves, and one martial arts makes the world's generals happy and convinced. It is no exaggeration to say that if the two really have the ambition to compete in the world, it is difficult to say whether the secular world is still divided into three parts of the world.
Later, the secular world tended to be peaceful, and the two returned to the mountains and forests, and it is difficult to find them since.
However, the history books clearly record that because of the outstanding merits of the two, the Holy Ancestor of Xifeng once gave a pair of python dragon jade pendants to show his attention to the two, and promised that if future generations have the heart to be in the opposition, they can receive the gift of the Xifeng royal family, and no matter how much trouble they cause, as long as they are not treasonous, they can be exempted from responsibility.
Xiao Feng sighed again, if the inside story of the Taoyuan Residence was really as he said in the Taoyuan Residence, it would be great, but in the end, the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes.
This trip to Anyang County seems to be very comfortable and leisurely, and the conspiracy hidden under its surface is really not less. What is the purpose of the courtyard layout in the Taoyuan Residence Formation? Is the small situation between Qiao Gang and Qingyun Academy in the middle of Taoyuan really to form an alliance? Or is there another plan? Why is the person sent by Qingyun Liu Yu who has not yet graduated from the school and not someone else? In addition to its own meaning, what is the deep meaning of the python dragon jade pendant that is worthy of Qiao Niang's attention?......
It is said that there is a rare calm before the storm, but the storm before the storm is really amazing.
......
The long night is even more lonely against the lights of thousands of homes in the distance. On the official road, the neighing of horses is bursting, is it a caravan traveling at night, or a tourist traveling far away?
.......
In the quiet woods, a snow-white three-storey building stands quietly in the thick fog, ordinary but extremely mysterious, it is the ethereal building that moves the world.
Suddenly, the pigeons chirped loudly in the quiet building.
Immediately afterwards, countless white doves flew out of the building as if they were greatly disturbed, and flew in all directions.
There was a faint sound of cursing coming from inside the building.
......
In the early morning, the golden morning glow sprinkled all over the earth, and the window of Li Yun's bedroom was pushed open with a 'bang' - it was rare for Li Yun to get up early in the morning.
With the little movement of the window being pushed open, the flapping wings flipped out abruptly.
Li Yun was startled, and when he looked closely, he happened to see a white dove fluttering its wings and flying into the distant sky. He was stunned and turned to look at the place where the white dove had just been. I saw that there were some small things on the windowsill at some point: a letter, a silk silk, and a plum hairpin.
Li Yun was stunned again, and muttered in his heart, is the love token a love letter?
Even though he thought so, Li Yun's hand unconsciously stretched out.
No way, he's cheap.
The first thing I picked up was the plum hairpin. The hairpin is warm and moist, and there is no cold texture of the ordinary hairpin, and the material must be excellent; the hairpin carving is delicate and meticulous, and the cold plum and snow are also carved to life, even if you don't understand the people can see the preciousness, it must be from the hands of the famous master. Li Yun looked at it carefully, but didn't see any clues, so he threw it aside very rudely.
The next thing I reached for was the silk silk. Hey, no, isn't this the one that was broken by Xiao Feng? No, no, this is a new one. Coincidence, it must be a coincidence. Li Yun muttered again in his heart. After tugging for a long time, Li Yun still didn't see the reason, so he simply threw it aside.
Finally, he picked up the letter. When he saw the words on the envelope, Li Yun was stunned. Because four words were written on the envelope: Li Yun personally opened. The handwriting is very beautiful, and even in the current calligraphy, everyone may not be able to write it. It's really for me, Li Yun muttered to himself. The more you look at these words, the more familiar they become.
I put the envelope to the tip of my nose and sniffed, and a faint sandalwood mixed with a light medicinal fragrance came into my nose, which smelled very good. Li Yun was stunned again. Among the people I know, it seems that there is only that young man. He suddenly had a bad premonition - Xiao Feng wouldn't sneak away again.
I opened the letter three times and divided it by two, and I saw the clear font coming into view:
When Brother Li received this letter, the Taoyuanju case should have come to an end, and Brother Li's career as the eldest young master was not affected, and the younger brother felt very relieved. I am writing this letter for three reasons.
First, although Xiao Yi is incompetent, he is also an important minister in the court, and the younger brother plans to let Brother Li follow him for a period of time and go to the imperial city to learn more. In the future, for the government and the people, or walking the rivers and lakes, Brother Li can think carefully during this time. Brother Li really wants to explore the rivers and lakes, if you can trust the younger brother, please choose to wait for three years. Three years later, the rivers and lakes are so big and vast that they let you sing on the horse and fight the sword to the end of the world.
As for the matter of silk and hairpins, it is a meeting gift from the younger brother to the future sister-in-law, and Brother Li does not need to be surprised.
In addition, soon after, the younger brother plans to leave Xifeng and travel to the other two empires.
This farewell, the mountains are high and the waters are long, and I hope to cherish myself.
There was no verbosity or greetings, it was as simple as if the young man was in front of Li Yun, calmly and calmly telling his plans.
Looking at the letter that came to an abrupt end, Li Yun opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't know what to say, so he could only look up to the sky and sigh, this heartless little devil, unless he was willing, it would be difficult to keep him.
What Li Yun didn't know was that I don't know how many people had this idea in their hearts.
This boy is actually really like his name. It seems that he doesn't care about anything, and he can't keep him from anything.
At the same time, on the official road about 50 miles away from Anyang County, a white-shed carriage moved forward unhurriedly. In front of the carriage, a young man in white and a middle-aged man in green clothes chatted with each other, and from time to time there was a woman's laughter like a silver bell. Needless to say, after a night of driving and having such energy, it is naturally only possible for Xiao Feng and his group.
Yu Yi returned to Lanmei Garden yesterday evening, slightly later than Xiao Feng's estimate.
As for the reason...... He brought back a small oil bottle, which was the person in the carriage who had a good conversation with Xiao Tianyue.
The small oil bottle is named Luo Tianyi, thirteen years old, the same age as Xiao Feng, and Li Lu's only daughter. According to herself, the purpose of her coming with her was very simple - to visit the mountains and rivers.
In this regard, Xiao Feng could only smile helplessly.
He originally chose the Ethereal Building near Anyang County, because the water is deep here, and there are naturally many fish in the water depth, so it will be interesting in the future. But what he really didn't expect was that the water here would be so deep. Look, he just moved the Taoyuan Mansion slightly and led to two behemoths, probably to frighten the big people in the ethereal building, otherwise how could he send a small oil bottle to remind himself not to play too much.
As for why Xiao Feng left overnight last night, I am afraid that those people will not be at ease and send an extra oil bottle to come, on the one hand, I am afraid that Mr. Li will pester Xiao Feng is another thing, of course, the disturbance in Taoyuan Ju is a bit big and a small part. Trouble this thing, Xiao Feng has always disliked, since Anyang County has nothing to do with him, he naturally wants to slip away as soon as possible.
As for why Li Yun was arranged to follow Xiao Yi for a period of time, Xiao Feng also had certain considerations.
For this cheap friend who doesn't know each other, Xiao Feng can be said to know his temperament very well. He is similar to a madman, the heart of a prodigal son, he has not suffered much, he is lazy and lazy, and likes to go with the flow. If it is a different era, he can be free of the rivers and lakes, ride horses and sing, and when he is bored, he will learn to be chivalrous and righteous, and Bo I will be romantic. And now the situation, the rivers and lakes are treacherous, if he sets foot in the rivers and lakes, he will only be a leaf of duckweed, after a few big waves, he is destined to become one of the victims of this rebellion in the rivers and lakes, and there will be no future. Xiao Feng has always been much more interested in his friends than about himself, so at first he chose to disappear from Li Yun's world very rationally, only hoping that they would forget about each other in the future and be well; After all, with Qiao Niang's temperament, regardless of the boundaries between the rivers and lakes and the court, it is very possible to do something to Li Yun. As for the complexity of the imperial city and the speculation of people's hearts...... People always have to learn to grow up, and besides, Li Yun is not young.
Xiao Feng had already explained the follow-up to the Taoyuanju murder case with Yun Feiyang yesterday afternoon, and Li Yun's matter was also mentioned to him, and he believed that with his ability, there would be no chaos.
"Uncle Yu, you said that according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, Liu Yan was actually not at fault for killing Liu Jin for revenge, but he was sentenced to murder to pay for his life by Xifeng regulations, isn't it a contradiction?" After talking about the Taoyuan residence with Yu Yi, Xiao Feng's body shook slightly with the bumps of the carriage, and he asked Yu Yi with his cheeks. This is the habit of a young man, as long as the things he experiences are not related to himself or it is really inconvenient to talk to Yu Yi, he will always share them with Yu Yi very righteously, and of course he will ask Yu Yi what he thinks by the way. The young man is still young and has little experience, so it is impossible to understand everything.
"It's hard to say." Yu Yi subconsciously slowed down the speed of the carriage a little. After all, the boy's body has only improved in the past two days, and he doesn't want the boy to make any mistakes.
"What do you think, what do you say, it's idle anyway. Xiao Feng tugged at Yu Yi's sleeve with a look of hope.
Yu Yi thought about it, and Zhengse said, "Killing people pays for life, it's right, this is right." Liu Yu is not wrong to kill Liu Jin to avenge his blood. But the subordinates feel that what status should follow what rules. Since Liu Yu caused this matter to the county government, he naturally acted as a civilian in Xifeng rather than a person from the rivers and lakes, so it was naturally inappropriate to look at it from the perspective of happiness and enmity, and his subordinates felt that it was more appropriate to deal with it with Xifeng's law. It's a pity that Yan Xingtian and Taojun are a little pity, but their nature is not bad, but they will definitely be implicated. ”
Xiao Feng listened with a smile on his face, "I think so too, and this is one of the reasons why the rivers and lakes and the court have always been distinct, although there are loopholes in the regulations, people still can't be lucky because of it, otherwise the world will not be chaotic." Uncle Yu and I are really like-minded people. ”
Yu Yi grinned uncontrollably. In the end, he is still a child, and this childishness can't be hidden. Suddenly, he thought of something, "Young Master, you are not sure how to deal with Liu Yu is appropriate, why do you have to deal with it so hastily?"
Xiao Feng looked at him with a smile.
Yu Yi was slightly stunned, and then reacted, "My subordinates have exceeded the rules, and the young master forgives me." ”
Xiao Feng shook his head gently, he naturally wouldn't explain the inside story of Taoyuanju's murder case to Yu Yi, so of course Yu Yi wouldn't know about Taoyuanju's series of tiger whisker behaviors, let alone Taoyuanju's plan to invite you into the urn, he explained half-truthfully: "Originally, I also wanted to live a few more days of leisure, but by chance, I found a jade pendant in Anyang County." Saying that, he took out the dragon python jade pendant from his arms and showed it to Yu Yi, and continued: "This jade pendant has a lot to do with it, but it's a pity that I'm not old enough to go to the secret vault to have a look, so some things can only be found in Qingyun." ”
This means that the trip to Qingyun must be advanced.
Yu Yi nodded knowingly.
There are secret treasures in the three major empires of the secular realm, located in the forbidden land of the imperial capital. There are not many books in it, but they all record some secrets that are unknown to people, and the things that exist are all strange things that do not exist in the secular world.
Seeing that Yu Yi was fooled here, Xiao Feng stretched out in a comfortable manner, leaned back, and leaned lightly on the carriage, "I'll squint for a while, Uncle Yu, you drive faster, don't waste this good horse in vain."
This driving horse was found by Xiao Feng after a lot of effort in order to hurry, not only is it extremely spiritual, but the horse speed is also very fast, if you run at full speed, you can travel thousands of miles a day, which is not inferior to a person who is in the acquired realm to rush with light skills.
Yu Yi frowned, "Young Master, why don't you go into the carriage and sleep for a while?"
Xiao Feng shrugged his shoulders, "I want to too, but it's very noisy in the carriage, it's not as quiet outside, I won't be able to sleep." ”
Yu Yi frowned again, and had something to say.
Xiao Feng continued: "Okay, I don't want to provoke either of those two, otherwise it will be enough for me to have a headache." Besides, the weather is just right, and I want to bask in the sun. ”
Yu Yi hesitated and nodded.
