Chapter 13: The Three-Year Covenant

To be honest, Xiao Feng sometimes actually wants to cut open Li Yun's head to see what this guy is thinking. I don't know what this person's brain structure is, why is his focus always so different every time?

After a lot of tongue, Xiao Feng finally snuffed out Li Yun's unrealistic idea in the cradle, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If Li Yun hadn't been asked to dispel his laughable thoughts on the spot, Xiao Feng really didn't feel at ease and left directly after the matter of Taoyuan Residence was over.

After all, with Mr. Li's temperament of liking to mess around, it is really possible to do this kind of thing when he revisits his hometown.

He has his own plans.

On this trip, if there is no accident, the rivers and lakes will surely surge.

In such rivers and lakes, bloody storms and bloody rain are inevitable.

And with Li Yun's three-legged cat's kung fu and Xiao Feng's opinion, the child's IQ can only be a proper delivery of food if he is mixed into it.

Xiao Feng naturally inconvenient to mention these considerations directly to Li Yun, but he had no scruples about guiding him a little.

He didn't stay in the attic for too long, and soon, Xiao Feng and Li Yun walked down the attic.

The view from the loft is pleasant, and walking on the snow-covered cobblestone path is a different flavor that you will never want to leave.

Xiao Feng and Li Yun stepped on the cobblestone ground without hurrying, stepped over the snow-covered lawn, bypassed a few clusters of shrubs, and soon stopped by a big tree.

The big tree is facing the attic study window, about five or six zhang high, waist thick, I think it should be a nearly 100-year-old tree.

Li Yun looked around suspiciously, and couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing here?"

Xiao Feng smiled faintly, didn't say much, only raised his hand and pointed to the top of his head.

Before Li Yun could react to what he meant, he saw that Xiao Feng had already jumped up and climbed the tree.

Li Yun instinctively looked up, and saw a small figure as if it had no weight, fluttering across the treetops, and then jumping back to the ground. The movements were light and leisurely, and the clouds flowed smoothly, and even half of the snow on the trees was not shaken off, which made Li Yun can't help but cheer in his heart.

When Xiao Feng returned to Li Yun's side, he didn't know when he had an extra jade pendant in his hand.

The jade pendant is light brown throughout, which is not a pleasing color, but in terms of its material, it is definitely the best.

Li Yun opened his mouth and was about to say something, but he saw Xiao Feng's small hand raised, and a palm slapped at the big tree with the thickness of the person's waist.

Seeing this, Li Yun secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly hugged his head.

What came next was not the expected snow. The snow flutters, like goose feathers falling from the sky, fluttering and sprinkling, so beautiful.

Li Yun showed a look of surprise on his face, his two eyeballs were almost about to pop out of his sockets, and he barely wrote a few big words on his face, obviously surprised by Xiao Feng's hand.

Looking at Xiao Feng again, dressed in white, looking at the falling snowflakes with indifferent eyes, like an immortal walking out of the snow, indescribably chic and dusty.

At this time, I saw Xiao Feng's toes spinning slightly, spreading out the hand holding the jade pendant, sweeping it in the snow, and then jumped out of the snow in one step.

There is a lot of snow on that tree, and it is estimated that it will take a lot of time. He didn't have a hobby of drenching in the snow, and it had been snowing for days.

Looking down at the pink snowflakes on the jade pendant, Xiao Feng smiled with satisfaction and frowned slightly.

It seems that the technique is rusty.

Looking up at Li Yun, who was still standing in place, Xiao Feng raised his eyebrows, and said secretly in his heart, is this person stupid?

"Brother Li?" he asked tentatively.

Li Yun came back to his senses, turned his head and saw a small figure outside Zhang Xu, stunned, and then hurriedly jumped out of the snowy place. "Brother Xian, what was you ...... just now" He didn't know how to describe what he had just seen for a while, but this method was unheard of and unseen.

Xiao Feng shook the jade pendant in his hand, just shook off the mixed white snow on the jade pendant, and pouted, "No, it's not for this?"

Li Yun was a little stammered, "Just for this little snow, you made such a big move?"

Turning over his hands, the snow turned into snow, which is a bit bigger.

"Is there one?" Xiao Feng looked at him strangely.

This kind of small means is what he often played when he was a child, after all, with Xiao Feng's identity and understanding, there is neither a scholar, nor a companion to read, and there is very little time for entertainment, and this little trick can be regarded as a pleasure in suffering. Therefore, in Xiao Feng's opinion, it should be considered very commonplace.

"Uh-huh. Li Yun nodded very seriously, and his eyes were almost bright.

"Oh. Xiao Feng responded calmly, directly ignoring the eagerness in Li Yun's eyes, "If the movement is bigger, it will be bigger, anyway, for me, the harvest seems to be greater." ”

Li Yun was slightly stunned, and then his face showed ecstasy, "This blood, this jade pendant...... Is it the murderer?"

"I don't know. Xiao Feng casually shook off the snow on the jade pendant, "But at least it proves that someone has climbed this tree that night, as for how to get up, how to get down, and what the purpose is, I still have to think about it." ”

He casually threw the jade pendant to Li Yun, and said in a casual tone: "Look clearly, you need to determine something." ”

Li Yun caught it with his hand, took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully, and then threw it back to Xiao Feng, looking full of confidence, "What's the matter?" ”

Xiao Feng took out a small handkerchief out of nowhere and wrapped the jade pendant carefully, "You should have a chance to look through the cases of previous years and help me determine what the jade pendant that Liu Jin bribed high-ranking officials was like, and whether it is similar to today's jade pendant." Well...... If you can, draw me a picture. ”

He originally wanted Li Yun to check the origin of the jade pendant, but he only dispelled this idea in an instant. Li Yun is only the son of the county order in the end, this jade pendant is not extraordinary, it is likely to be the one recorded in the history books, if he really finds out something, maybe it will cause him some big trouble.

The spring is cold.

When the two of them walked around the huge Taoyuan Residence, they were frozen enough, and it took a while to ease up.

When the two of them left Taoyuan Residence, it was almost noon.

Thinking of Li Zhongqing's instructions, he wondered if Xiao Feng should hide there for two days, but unfortunately he didn't even have a chance to speak, so he was blocked back by Xiao Feng's words like a god, "It's useless to go to me, won't the county magistrate look for it?"

Li Yun pursed his lips, and in the end, he could only reluctantly say goodbye to Xiao Feng and return home honestly.

After all, he didn't want to be locked up yet.

However, before leaving, Li Yun still agreed with Xiao Feng to go to other places together in the afternoon to look for clues.

By the time Xiao Feng returned to Lanmei Garden, Yu Yi had already returned to the guest room and waited for a long time.

"Uncle Yu, what's the situation?" As soon as he entered the guest room, Xiao Feng didn't even give Yu Yi half a chance to ask, so he asked directly. It's not that he's in a hurry, but it's such a cold day, but he has been outside all morning, if he doesn't find something to change the topic, it is estimated that a bitter teaching is indispensable. I also want to have clean ears.

Yu Yi's face was a little dignified, which made his wooden face, which had few expressions, even more rigid, "Young Master, Taoyuan is not simple. ”

Xiao Feng nodded approvingly, otherwise he wouldn't have let Yu Yi go to investigate. However, there was no solemn look on his face, but he still looked relaxed. Touching the teapot casually, it was actually warm, Xiao Feng couldn't help but smile lightly, and his heart was slightly warm.

Yu Yi continued: "In the morning, after the subordinates delivered the letter, they went to Taoyuan Residence. The layout of Taoyuan Residence is extremely delicate and meticulous, and it is not at all the specifications that should be in the ordinary land of wind and moon, even if it is not necessarily possible to do so in the Imperial City. ”

Xiao Feng smiled, "Uncle Yu is trying to say that Taoyuan Ju may have other uses, or that Taoyuan Ju has the support of a big force behind it?"

Yu Yi nodded, "Not only that, but my subordinates feel that there seems to be some ulterior secret in Taoyuan. ”

"Oh?" Xiao Feng was slightly interested, but his demeanor was still relaxed, he poured a cup of hot tea for himself and Yu Yi, and said lightly: "Why do you say that?"

Yu Yi's expression became more and more solemn, he hesitated, suddenly knelt down on one knee, and said, "Young master, my subordinates implore the young master not to interfere in the affairs of Taoyuan Residence." ”

Xiao Feng frowned lightly and reached out to pull Yu Yi, "Uncle Yu, don't make a big salute at every turn, get up quickly!"

He really didn't like it when someone knelt down at him.

Finally let Yu Yi stand up, Xiao Feng looked at him helplessly, "Okay, now you can talk about the situation in Taoyuan Residence, right?"

The solemn look on Yu Yi's face did not decrease in the slightest, "There is a formation in the backyard of Taoyuan Residence, which is very similar to that of our Ethereal Building, and there are also master guards in it. ”

"Oh, it's a formation? Although Xiao Feng's words were unexpected, his tone was very calm, as if he had expected it.

"So you think that Taoyuan Residence should be set up by some big man in the imperial city for some unknown secret?" he looked at Yu Yi and asked seriously.

The way of the formation, inherited from ancient times, is the most weird and complicated.

According to historical records, knowing astronomy, geography, mountains and rivers, and meteorological changes can lead to the first understanding of the way of formation. Knowing the foundation of the formation, knowing the formation theory, you can calculate the way to peep into the door. However, if you want to form a formation, it is still far away...... From this, we can see that the formation is broad and profound. Therefore, all those who study the way of the formation are all people with extraordinary talents and extraordinary understanding.

However, due to the lack of various classics and the shallow study of formation by later generations, there are very few formations that can be seen today. Of course, this is also indispensable to the fact that most of the books and records about the formation are hidden by the major forces, and they are stubborn and self-serving.

Taoyuan Residence is located on the border, and it is strange to have such financial and material resources, and now there is a formation similar to the Ethereal Building, which has to make people think deeply.

The formation of the Ethereal Tower was learned by Xiao Feng from the imperial capital earlier, where would the formation of Taoyuan Ju come from?

With this background, it is no wonder that Yu Yi's face is so solemn.

Yu Yi nodded.

Xiao Feng tested the temperature of the water, handed a cup of hot tea to Yu Yi, and said with a smile: "Sit down, you carefully tell me what you have seen and heard in Taoyuan Ju today, and then, if necessary, I will talk to you about Taoyuan Ju." If my guess is correct, you should have entered the formation and caused a lot of trouble in Taoyuan Residence, right?"

Today, the proprietress of Taoyuan House has been delayed for so long, Xiao Feng doesn't believe it, he just went to ask someone to give himself a disgrace to the tangled faction.

Yu Yi bowed down and took the teacup, but he didn't mean to sit down, "The guards in Taoyuan are not very strict, if the subordinates guess well, the people who are secretly guarding are overestimated, but they can only find the people who have been rebuilt five or six days after tomorrow, so it is not difficult to mix into Taoyuan Residence." Because of the haste at that time, the subordinates only had a rough look at Taoyuanju. The layout is extremely exquisite, and there seems to be a formation contained in it. Speaking of this, he subconsciously looked at Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng nodded, "Taoyuanju, I've just taken a turn, there is indeed a formation contained in it, but it is not complete, so there is nothing to worry about." ”

Yu Yi relaxed slightly, and continued: "The formation discovered by his subordinates is located behind a forest in the southeast corner of the backyard, and it is difficult to find it if you don't go deeper. It seems to be a phantom array, and the subordinates have broken in, and it is indeed very similar to our ethereal building, but the scale is larger, but the structure is much simpler, otherwise the subordinates may not be able to come out. ”

Speaking of this, Yu Yi had palpitations. If it weren't for the fact that he had listened to Xiao Feng explain the formation of the Ethereal Tower before, he estimated that he would have been planted in it.

"In the phantom array is a small courtyard, and there is no sound in it, but it is very strange. The subordinates originally wanted to enter and check, but they were accidentally discovered by one of the guards, who should be a master of the Innate Realm, so they had no choice but to flee. Then he rushed all the way back to the plum garden. ”

Xiao Feng was a little surprised, the little Taoyuan Residence was guarded by a congenital master, which was really beyond his expectations. However, in this way, Taoyuanju's plan here may be far greater than he thinks.

Quietly reaching out to probe Yu Yi's pulse, and finding that Yu Yi showed no signs of injury, Xiao Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "So, Uncle Yu is sure that Taoyuan Residence is related to the Imperial City?"

Yu Yi nodded with a serious face.

Xiao Fenghun smiled indifferently, "Although the formation is rare, it is actually not as difficult to arrange as you think, there are definitely many people in this world who can arrange it." In addition, although the forms of the formations are different, the truth is the same, so it is not unusual to be similar to the phantom array of the Ethereal Building, Uncle Yu is a little too cautious. Besides, even if it's from the Imperial City, so what?

Yu Yi frowned, "Young Master!"

Xiao Feng sighed, and then comforted: "Don't be nervous! ”

Yu Yi grinned, and couldn't find any rebuttal for a while, so he squeezed out a "but......" for a long time

Xiao Feng took a sip of hot tea, then put down the teacup, changed his bitter face, and said pitifully: "Besides, this matter is about the rivers and lakes, and the most important thing is about Brother Li." Uncle Yu can't just watch me abandon my friends. ”

Yu Yi grinned helplessly again, this is really not easy to accept. If you oppose it, you can't say anything, otherwise wouldn't you put the young master in injustice? If you agree, you can't say it, if you provoke this matter, it will only cause a commotion, and it will not do you any good.

Xiao Feng showed a sly smile on his face, "Besides, there is an innate master in Taoyuan Curie, three ninefold peaks, plus I don't know how many great masters have entered the product. There is such an unknown force at the door of your own house, Uncle Yu, do you think it is good?"

Yu Yi instinctively shook his head.

At first glance, of course, it's not good.

Before he had time to think about it, Yu Yi listened to Xiao Feng and said, "So, can I turn a blind eye to this matter?"

Yu Yi could only shake his head again.

Xiao Feng smashed his right hand into a fist on the palm of his left hand very childishly, "So, we have to get involved in this matter." Of course, I have already thought about the way out of the road, so Uncle Yu doesn't have to worry too much. ”

Yu Yihu looked at Xiao Feng suspiciously.

He had seen Xiao Feng play people around more than once, although what Xiao Feng said just now sounded very reasonable at first glance, but he always felt that something seemed to be wrong, and he had a feeling that he was also dizzy by the young master.

Seeing that Yu Yi was still a little suspicious, Xiao Feng was a little helpless. He knew that Yu Yi was not as foolish as Li Yun. Today's plan is only to divert Yu Yi's attention most effectively. After all, when it comes to his own safety, Yu Yi is definitely a monkey spirit.

So, Xiao Feng quietly threw a bombshell, "In view of the complexity of Taoyuan Residence, I want Uncle Yu not to show up these days and help me do a few things, how about it?"

For Yi, this news definitely shocked Yu Yi more than any other news. He was shocked, "Young Master, but your body ...... How can there be no one to take care of you?"

Xiao Feng stretched his waist elegantly, and said lazily: "Calm, calm." I'm not at all right now. ”

Seeing that Yu Yi still looked worried, Xiao Feng pursed his lips helplessly, and simply lay on the table lazily, squinting his eyes and smiling at him, "Don't forget, how close we are to our lair now." I'm going to send two people to take care of me tonight, so that's okay. ”

Yu Yi thought for a while, "Let them go, their subordinates know the young master better than them." ”

Xiao Feng was still smiling, obviously expecting this scene, and said casually: "Uncle Yu still remembers the dark chess I have laid out in the past few years?"

Yu Yi frowned, instinctively feeling a little bad.

Xiao Feng still looked lazy, squinting his eyes slightly, "The arrogant Poplar League leader wants to be the first person in the rivers and lakes; the Qiao Gang, who has been silent for many years, has repeatedly entered and exited the major forces in the rivers and lakes, and there are constant small movements; and many forces in the rivers and lakes also have signs of restlessness, which is obviously about to rain." I want to add another fire. ”

Yu Yi's heart trembled, and suddenly he thought of something, and couldn't help blurting out, "Three-year appointment?" For some reason, his voice trembled a little.

Xiao Feng bowed slightly, "Yes, it's been almost three years." ”
