Chapter 1: Palace theft

·
wedge
The imperial palace.
The white jade tower is so sumptuous and luxurious, and the bead relic is faint.
There are many shadows in the imperial garden.
The patrol guard stepped, and his right hand was vigilantly pressed to the waist, but before the long knife came out of the sheath, half of his body shook slightly, and the chill swept the brain instantly, like falling into the bottomless ice cave, even the fear was Freeze the fundus. The only temperature left was the blood spewing from the neck.
And until the moment before he died, he was still thinking blankly, just what the pure white was.
Is it really ... Snow?
Daliang Kingdom, Tianren nine years.
In late autumn, the weather was cold and I did n’t know what the wind door was. I still wanted to build a living room next to the valley creek. The northwest wind was blowing, and the veil covered with dead leaves scattered around the mountain. The face of the VIP in the hall.
The waiter who waited on the side accompanied me with a laugh and advised, "Guests, please have another drink at the bar. My host is hurrying past, and will be there right away."
Ji Yanran narrowed his eyes and looked at the trembling white soft sedan on the top of the mountain.
The wind and rain gate is so famous that someone comes to the door to see him every three or five times, because this is the largest intelligence building in the rivers and lakes. Whether it is the decent plaque, the demon lost the teacher, or the wealthy housekeeper rolls money to escape, as long as At affordable prices, you can buy whereabouts and news, so business is booming.
Wanting others, Ji Yanran waited very patiently, at least looking very patient.
After another half an hour, the soft sedan finally appeared at the end of the valley. The relieved, hurriedly came forward and opened the car curtain, respectfully said: "Door."
Ji Yanran was still sitting at the table, drinking wine in a hurry, but the followers behind him were quite uncomfortable. He secretly said that the door of the storm door was not small, and he could not help looking after him. What looks like.
Yun Yi wind said: "You have been waiting a long time."
He had very good eyebrows and a smile on the corner of his lips. He was dressed in a silk brocade and was standing in the mountains surrounded by the cool breeze of autumn. But this fairy looks like he has a weak bone. Before he can say a few words, he takes out a handkerchief and covers his mouth. He can cough for a long time.
Jifu's followers thought, cough is right, this ghost weather is dressed like this, Rao can not carry pigs and strong men on the street can't carry it, and don't know to make a fur mattress and wrap it warmer.
Ji Yanran was concerned: "Does the master suffer from the cold?"
"Anyway." Yun Yifeng waved his hand, finally relieved, "don't delay making money."
"That's good." Ji Yanran smiled, bent her forefinger and knocked on the table, and someone immediately lifted up two boxes of gold. "This is a thank you, thank you that the doorkeeper is willing to pick up my business. As for the reward after it is done, Good to discuss. "
Yun Yifeng asked, "What are you looking for?"
Ji Yanran replied: "Several days ago, someone stole a relic from the palace stupa. It was related to the national transportation of the Liang Dynasty. The emperor was furious and ordered the guard of the Dali Temple to arrest the thief for a period of three months."
"The court's business?" Yun Yifeng shook his head. "I don't like dealing with the government, and I haven't heard anything about stupa stolen. I'm afraid it won't help me."
Ji Yanran asked, "What if the doorkeeper wants something in my hand?"
Yun Yi suspected: "What do I want?"
Ji Yanran said: "I heard that the doorkeeper was looking for blood Ganoderma lucidum, and I happened to have one."
Yun Yifeng frowned: "Who the are you?"
The followers were very understandable, and before Ji Yanran began to speak, he took out Hu Fulang and said, "My master is King Liang Xiao."
"It turned out to be expensive and expensive, and no wonder you can find blood Ganoderma." Yun Yifeng knew, "Let's make a deal."
Seeing that he promised to be so refreshing, Ji Yan was rather surprised: "The owner of Cloud Gate is not afraid that I am a liar?"
"I'm not afraid." Yun Yifeng smiled. "There should be no one who dares to impersonate the king in the rivers and lakes."
People all over the country know that His Royal Highness King Xiao has high martial arts and loves revenge. A few years ago when he was guarding the northwestern desert, a group of bandits didn't have long eyes and killed a brother in Heiyingying. He had provoked a living ancestor since then. He was chased and beaten for three years. When he caught it, it was a violent meal. Let it go after you've finished it, and let it go after you've done it. The life is frightening. It's worse than death. At that time, Ji Yanran was only twelve years old. Now that he is getting older this year, Xi Bi ’s reputation has become more and more prosperous. Whoever wants to impersonate the imperial family and relatives to cheat, unless it is too long.
Ji Yanran was very satisfied: "Then we will start tonight."
Yun Yifeng somehow: "Where to go?"
Ji Yanran replied: "Natural is a cold fog city."
Yun Yi wind said: "Nature?"
Ji Yanran reminded: "Blood Ganoderma."
Yun Yifeng: "..."
Yun Yi wind said: "I will prepare a horse and a horse tonight, waiting for the Lord here."
And until the people at Fengmengmen went away, the followers hesitated: "Master, blood ganoderma is a sacred relic only in rumors-"
Ji Yanran interrupted him: "The king has never seen it, it was made up blindly."
Followers worry: "I'm afraid it will cause trouble in the future."
Ji Yanran asked, "In addition, can you think of other ways to make Yun Yifeng willing to cooperate with us?"
The entourage fell into silence, saying that Storm Gate was a rich country, except for Blood Ganoderma, I was afraid that there was really nothing to do.
"Come on for the time being, and when the filling is about to be revealed, it is not too late to make new excuses." Ji Yanran raised his glass and drank his head and drank.
This evening, Yun Yifeng did arrive on time, still in a thin white coat, and still coughing like a lung, and even Ji Yanran didn't consciously take a step back, and didn't understand what was wrong with the people in this river. In the end, maybe he was annoyed. He simply unwrapped his sister-in-law and handed it over. Yun Yifeng refused to quit. When he received it, the touched slightly, and it was hot.
Ji Yanran was slightly surprised and looked up at him again, but the slim white figure had already got into the carriage and put the curtain down strictly.
The coachman threw the whip, and the two cars rushed out of the wind and rain gates, heading northeast. The rest of the followers and disciples followed Zema closely, stepping up in the valley.
Yun Yifeng leaned on the cold jade stool, and her lips were a little pale. Hanwu City is located in the northeast, far from the Chunlin City, and if it is not in the face of Blood Ganoderma, even if it is full of gold, it would be awkward for him to move half an old patient with half a life left.
The two sides each took what they needed, and the sale was done smoothly. All the way is nothing but peace. Only when passing through Tianshui City, I encountered some small troubles. The inn Xiao Er said that the city was holding a poetry festival, and the literati in Shili and Baxiang had to stay in the shop, and there was only one room left.
Ji Yanran has a graceful attitude: "Naturally, I will give it to the owner of Cloud Gate, and I will send someone to scatter it."
Xiao Er hurriedly said, "We are the best inn, it's already very clean, and the guest officer doesn't need to clean up any more."
However, Ji's little sister-in-law had already carried the broom and baggage and disappeared at the end of the stairs.
Yun Yi wind said: "Thank you."
"Let's eat something first," Ji Yanran said, "I have been on my way these days, and I have worked hard for the doorkeeper."
"It's still half a month before I can go to Hanwu City." Yun Yifeng picked up the menu and ordered himself a bowl of braised pork ribs. "Wang Ye still doesn't plan to tell me, why go to the northeast?"
"For the relics," Ji Yanran said, "My king was informed that the stolen relics would be mixed in a batch of Zhucui goods and delivered to the customs by the Yue Family Dart Bureau, and headed for Baichao."
"That's it." Yun Yifeng smiled. "So Wang actually had a plan. He didn't need the wind and rain door to do anything. The reason why he tied me up was just to worry that someone would come to the door and probe the whereabouts of the relic. ? "
"This is one of them." Ji Yanran said, "One more thing, Master Yunmen is quite well-known in the rivers and lakes, speaking and doing things, it is much more convenient than the people in my court."
Yun Yi wind said, "But I have very little contact with the Najia family, and rushed to the door, but weird."
Ji Yanran didn't take it seriously: "Every person in the martial arts like Yunmen, everyone wants to make friends. If the owner of the Yue Family Dart Bureau knows that the master happens to be in Hanwu City, he won't ignore it."
Yun Yifeng reminded: "Hugh has caused me trouble."
"Natural." Ji Yanran handed him the chopsticks. "I just want to find the lost things, and I don't want to stir up disputes. Moreover, sending relics to other countries, whether they know it in advance or not, is a serious crime against the nine ethnic groups. Eighty percent of the people in the Yue family still have to be gimmicky and thank you as my father and father. "
Yun Yifeng shook his head, didn't want to talk to him, and bowed his head to eat noodles. Others are elegant and beautiful, but the taste is sleaky and secular. A bowl of oily noodles is covered with pork, and the noodles are not changed in color and eaten the soup base. With hot food in her belly, her face finally became rosy, and small sweat beads also appeared on her forehead. Ji Yanran passed her hand towel and tempted, "Is the wind chill of the door owner not good?"
"Poisoned." Yun Yifeng did not hide, "there is not much time, so I looked for blood Ganoderma lucidum everywhere."
Ji Yanran: "..."
Ji Yanran asked, "What poison?"
Yun Yifeng did not answer this question, but said, "What does Blood Ganoderma look like?"
Ji Yanran looked calmly: "The Lord of the Cloud Gate hasn't seen it before?"
"If I have seen it, how can I not find it." Yun Yifeng said, "There is almost no record in the medical book. Only in the coastal area, this story will occasionally mention the sea goddess and blood Lingzhi, saying that there was a team The fishermen gave this treasure to the emperor. It is reasonable that the Lord is not willing to give it to me now, but at least to hear, what kind of good thing is it? "
Ji Yanran casually said: "The whole body is red, which is larger than the ordinary ganoderma and harder."
"That's it." Yun Yifeng thought for a while and nodded. "Even though Wang Ye is assured, I will do my best for this life-saving medicine."
Jifu's entourage heard the two people's conversation, and then he became uneasy again, almost already foreseeing the future when the truth was revealed, how earth-shaking and stormy the sea should be.
Perhaps to make up for it, after eating, Ji Yanran personally sent Yun Yifeng back to the room, but pushed the door to see Xiaoyi still making the bed. The bedding in the inn had no idea where it was thrown, and replaced it with a bed. Brocade quilt, a delicate jade pillow, stepped on a foot stool covered with thick bearskin blankets, the incense burner on the bed was burning with soothing fragrance, and even the tea drinking utensils were exquisite and chic. The copper basin used for washing was covered with petals, and the four men stood in a row with smiles on their faces, watching the posture to wait for Yun Yifeng to change clothes and bath.
Yunmen wondered: "Is the Lord going to hold a ceremony before going to bed?"
Ji Yanran replied, "You can't be born in the royal family for nothing. Everyone likes luxury and enjoyment, and the king is no exception. If the master wants to listen to someone's piano--"
"No need." Yun Yifeng interrupted him. "Thank you Grandpa tonight, I'm going to rest."
Ji Yanran nodded. Before leaving, he did not forget to mention that the teapot was filled with Xueding Hancui, which was a rare tea or two.
Yun Yifeng has no interest in this cold but cold green, and just wants to bathe and go to bed soon, Yun Gong suppressed the sharp pain in the body. He rushed to the northeast day and night, and he was really sinned. He was smashed by a carriage for a day. All the internal organs would be shrunk into a ball. Only when he was back in bed would he feel comfortable for a while, but his body was tired but his mind was sober. Mostly half board.
This time is the same. After wrapping himself in a soft quilt, Yun Yifeng did not extinguish the candlelight, but instead picked up the wick a few minutes, took a ruby ​​knife from the box, and leaned against the bedside. Carve it up.
Outside the window, fine snow fluttered all night.
Early the next morning, Ji Yanran looked at the red jade carving hanging around his neck and hesitated, "This is ..."
Yun Yifeng replied: "According to the description of Wang Ye, a blood Ganoderma lucidum was carved out to keep it safe."
Ji Yanran: "..."
Yun Yifeng continued: "Even if it is a fake, wear it on your body, look at it every day, think of the true, and rejoice in your heart."
When he said that, his tone was gentle and sincere, and his smile was like the warm sun in the spring, a pair of wet milk and a beating of phosphorus.
Ji Fu's followers still have a conscience and can't bear to deceive this seriously ill person. His neck shrinks and he runs faster than a thief.
Ji Yanran laughed: "It's easy to say."
In the following journey, Yun Yifeng hung the ruby ​​lucid ganoderma on his chest all day, and it really became a treasure. He always treats people kindly, smiles and looks good. He also coughs his heart and coughs for a while to show his illness and delicateness, which makes Jifu's followers multiply the pressure and becomes more and more distressed. He just hates it now He went to the roadside field to dig up a blood Ganoderma lucidum, and then wrapped it with gold and silver thread, respectfully gave this innocent and deceived businessman.
The carriage drove briskly, and Yun Yi wind slept on the cushion, like a lazy animal in winter. Ji Yanran sat opposite, recognizing that the bench under him was made of cold jade. In this ghostly weather where water drips into ice, ordinary people are afraid of snoring if they approach, let alone sitting close to each other—it seems to be poisoning Not light.
"Master." Ji Fu's followers said outside, "We're here."
Yun Yifeng opened his eyes: "Hanwucheng?"
"Yes." Ji Yanran said, "Afu has gone to the inn first and prepared medicinal bath utensils for the doorkeeper." This way, he has a general understanding of Yun Yifeng's living habits, and in a word, he is separated by three. To take medicine, take a bath every 30 minutes.
Yun Yi wind frowned: "Should I prepare medicine for me first, or spread the news in the city first, so as to attract people from the Yue Family Dart Bureau?"
Ji Yanran replied, "It's all."
Yun Yifeng didn't care about it either, followed him into Hanwu City. This is a major town in the Northeast, with many businessmen, and it has always been bustling. It just happened to catch up with the market today.
There is a stall selling sugar and haw on the street. A large iron pot is quite imposing, and Yun Yifeng has not seen it before. At this time, it is unavoidable to look at it twice. Jifu's entourage has diligently bought two bags and smiled. Come-Since there is no blood Ganoderma Lucidum, I have to be diligent and thoughtful in these trivial matters, and also to feel at ease.
Ji Yanran: "..."
"What's that?" Yun Yifeng ate the hawthorn, and his eyes fell on a low platform again. "A big chair with lots of people, not many people."
Ji Fu's followers explained that it was the chair of Qi Qi, a wealthy household in the northeast, and it was moved out at this time every year for everyone to get rich. As long as they spent five pennies, they could sit back once in person, which sounds quite cost-effective.
Perhaps in order to cooperate with this lucky chair, whenever someone sits up, there will also be Qifu Jiading "promoting fortune", which attracts applause and jubilation. Yun Yifeng said: "For only five pennies, it can be shameful for half a day in the eyes of everyone, and it is really cost-effective."
Ji Yanran heard a word of joy: "People have a colorful picture, but the master of Yunmen is poisonous."
"Let's go back to the inn." Yun Yifeng was fascinated. "There are too many people here, and I'm so upset."
Ji Yanran used his arms to separate him from the crowd, and glanced around him again. There are many people in this market, and there are many rivers and lakes with swords and swords. I do n’t know why they gathered. The martial arts in Hanwu City only had There was only one Yue family dart, and he didn't want to make trouble here.
However, after arriving at the inn, this doubt was quickly resolved. Xiao Er said that the head of the Yue Family Dart Bureau had 50 birthdays this month, so he invited a lot of friends on the road, and the performance was extremely great.
"This is the doorkeeper of the wind and rain door?" Xiao Er smiled again. "Yue Zhangmen just sent someone to tell him. Please ask the doorkeeper to go to the dart board to stay. The horses and horses are already outside, so you don't need to stay at the inn."
Ji Yanran: "Come here fast."
"If you don't come quickly, would you have disappointed Wang's painstaking arrangement." Yun Yifeng patted the sugar residue on his hand, "Please."
The Yue Family Dart was not far from the inn. When the party passed, the head of the house Yue Mingwei had led a person to wait at the door. The most important thing for the dart board is the popularity. The more friends you have, the smoother the dart will go. Yun Yifeng is quite famous in the rivers and lakes. Yue Mingwei will naturally not neglect. When he meets, he will be very warm. Old friends meet again in general.
"This is it?" Yue Mingwei looked at Ji Yanran again.
Yunyi Fengdao said, "Guest of Fengmen, I took his business, so I went all the way to the northeast."
Ji Yanran hugged his fist and said, "In the next name Ji, you rushed to the door without disturbing Yue's head?"
"What's this." Yue Mingwei laughed. "There aren't too many friends. Besides, Ji Shaoxia can invite the Yunmen master to go out in person. Presumably, he is also an extraordinary person who is willing to condescend to live in the cold house. It should be Yue. Blessing is right. The accommodation has already been packed up, a few here please. "
The house of this Yue family dart board was built extremely deep. The front yard was used for business and the back yard was used for living. Because of life, there are guests in each room. Those with loud voices should be shivering, those with bad tempers should quarrel, and those who drag their children to eat the noodles. The little baby cries and cries with his throat, which makes people eager. It hurts.
Yun Yifeng sat at the table and poured himself a cup of tea: "Yue family darts are mixed in, what next is Wang Ye going to check?"
Ji Yanran said: "There is a killer in the rivers and lakes named Mu Chengxue, can Master Yunmen know?"
"Have heard of it, but I don't know it." Yun Yifeng said, "He has no clue, no skill, nowhere, nowhere, no man is right or wrong, he only knows silver."
"He had inquired about the relic," Ji Yanran said, "and not long after that, the stupa was stolen."
Yun Yifeng speculated: "So Wang suspects him?"
Ji Yanran said: "At least it is more suspicious than others, and he lived in the Yue Family Dart Bureau three days ago."
"No wonder the other day, after receiving the secret report, Lord Wang suddenly had to hurry around the clock, day and night." Yun Yifeng rubbed his eyebrows, "I just suffer from this patient, I ca n’t eat well or sleep well, and I still have a coughing chest pain."
"Master Yunmen rest well." Ji Yanran stood up. "I will do the rest."
"Hey!" Yun Yifeng called him.
"My King knows." Ji Yanran raised his right hand to show promise, "Never cause trouble."
Outside the door, Jifu's followers were also dizzy. Yun Yifeng became famous in the rivers and lakes. Naturally, there were many people who came to the meeting. They sent away a few waves, like endless, and even two martial arts. Each other scolded each other for cutting in, almost fighting.
At the banquet in the evening, Yue Mingwei also heard about this, so he felt guilty and said, "The greet is terrible and the host is shocked."
"Why is Yue head so polite?" Yun Yifeng laughed. "It's all trivial."
"The weather in the Northeast is cold, and the master is coughing again. He should have rested quietly." Yue Mingwei said, "The home is really noisy. If the master is not disgusted, I also have a snow viewing pavilion in Jifeng. Elegant and simple, it's perfect for tea resting. "
Yun Yi wind remained calm, wondering why this person wanted to support himself to the top of the mountain with one pole, was he aware of what?
But he had n’t waited for him to speak, but someone was joking outside the door: "Why, Uncle Xuexue is a good place, and Uncle Yue would only live with the owner of Yunmen? It's too stingy, but I want to go long ago Take a look. "
The thick curtain was opened, and a cold north wind was blowing in, and a young man came in with the wind, wearing a brown brocade, a seven-star sword in his waist, and a white ferret in his hand. The young master of Jincheng Dart is called Jin Huan. The middle-aged man behind him is the head of the Jincheng Dart Bureau, Jin Manlin.
Yue Mingwei laughed: "If your nephew wants to go, just say a word, why bother to laugh at your uncle Yue?"
"That's the way it is." Jin Huan turned again, respectfully, "I've seen the Master of Cloud Gate."
Yun Yi Feng said, "I haven't seen him for a few years, but Brother Jin's humorous temper has not changed at all."
"This isn't just fun." Jin Huan said, "The peaks are beautiful like a fairyland, and the Xuexue Pavilion is ingenious. In the summer, when you look at the gardens and flowers, it is already a wonder of the world, not to mention hiding in the winter snow. Good wine, good food and good music are really happy on earth. "
Jin Manlin scolded: "In the presence of so many guests, I know that drinking and having fun is not shameful!"
"Jin head is wrong." Someone retorted during the meeting, "Everyone loves beauty, not to mention the world ’s success. After hearing what Brother Jin said, I would like to go to a long experience, I wonder if it is possible. The face of the Yunmen master? "He wore a moon-white cotton robe, his voice was weak, and he didn't look like a man in a river or lake, but a scholar.
Sure enough, Yue Mingwei heard the worry and said, "The peak is steep and the road is rugged. Can you really climb up?"
The scholar stubbornly said, "Walk slowly, that's all. Other people walk for one day, and I walk for three days and five days."
"If the scenery is so good, why not add another one?" A flirty girl stood up with her crescent crest on her eyebrows. She was alive and lively, but her black eyes only stared at Yun Yifeng. Don't move it.
Someone snickered at the guests and found out that her drunkard was not drinking, but it was right to think about it. Yunmen was very active and handsome in appearance. It is said that the silver in the storm door was piled into mountains. Zhao girl likes.
Yun Yifeng frowned slightly, just about to say that he would not go to the peak of Laozizi, but Yue Mingwei said: "It's better to have more people, but there is already a guest living in the Xuexue Pavilion. He is weird, everyone. If he does, don't bother him to avoid disputes. "
Jin Huan asked, "I don't know who lives?"
Yue Ming prestige: "Twilight into snow."
Hearing this name, Yun Yifeng moved between his hearts and looked at Ji Yanran.
I was still trying to find an excuse to be able to get close to the weird killer.
...
The Xuexue Pavilion is so compact that there are only a few guest rooms, and guests can only go there by themselves. As for the family members and their subordinates, they stay at the Yuejia Dart Bureau.
Ji Fu's followers said: "Even though Wang Ye will go to that evening into the snow, we will stare at the foot of the mountain, and there will be no leaks."
"Aren't you worried?" Yun Yifeng leaned down the corridor and asked Ji Yanran, "What if the relic is no longer in the hands of Mu Chengxue, but hidden in the Yue Family Dart Bureau?"
Ji Yanran shook his head: "I guess not. According to Mu Chengxue's habit, if the sale has been completed, he will never stay at the Yue family."
Yun Yifeng laughed: "Master Wang really knows the people of rivers and lakes."
"To do something, you have to find out the temper of the opponent." Ji Yanran said, "It's just the hard Yunmen master, and I'll follow Dangerous Peak again."
Yun Yifeng habitually stretched out his hand, rubbed his ruby ​​ganoderma lucidum on his chest, and said with a gentle attitude: "Good to say."
Jifu followers: "..."
