Ruyi Jue

At this time, Gong Yeming said: "Master Shen, there is an accident in the city, your affairs may need to be delayed for a while."

Shen Yufeng shook his head slowly: "Forget it."

With Hong Lian, he passed the crowd and left the hall.

When they returned to the guest house arranged for them in Zizai City, Hong Lian couldn't help asking: "Brother Shen, what should we do now?"

Shen Yufeng said: "I don't know either. Now that Shi Guanghe has lost his mind, and Gong Yeming and Shi Fengting are confronting each other again, I don't know what will happen next."

"Then can we just wait?"

"Don't worry," Shen Yufeng comforted, "It's naturally straight from the bridge to the bow of the boat. As long as people are okay, things will always turn around."

Hong Lian said in her heart that she was not impatient. The two of them tried their best to save Zhao Linhuai, but they were always disrupted by various accidents. But because of Shen Yufeng's previous injury, she was embarrassed to let him take risks for their brother and sister again, so she decided to Putting away his worried expression, under Shen Yufeng's gentle persuasion, he went back to his room.

Shen Yufeng also returned to the room, and lay down for a while with his eyes closed.

He thought of everything that happened today.

Yun Lian hit it off with Shi Fengting because of Huan Hai Yun Tu, and attacked Shi Guanghe, but didn't mention Zhao Linhuai's matter at all. It can be seen that in the eyes of the Six Princes' party, the Huan Hai Yun Tu's matter is far more urgent than Zhao Linhuai's matter.

Then, what is the purpose of Yun Lian's voice to prevent them from rescuing Zhao Linhuai?

Also, at the birthday banquet in the morning, when Yun Lian saw him for the first time, he didn't take the initiative to say hello, but frequently looked away from him. Why is that?

Could it be that Yun Lian has other hidden secrets in taking refuge in the Sixth Prince?

Thinking of this, he was so preoccupied that he felt sleepy at all. Suddenly, he heard urgent footsteps outside the door, and then someone knocked on the door.

He opened his eyes and asked, "Who?"

It's so late, who will knock on the door?

Could it be Yun Lian?

Unexpectedly, the person who knocked on the door was not Yun Lian, but a servant: "Master Shen, Mr. Gongye invites you to listen to Song Pavilion for a while."

Shen Yufeng was quite surprised, why did Gong Yeming find him suddenly?

And it's still in the middle of the night?

He didn't think much more, got up after putting on his clothes, opened the door, and said to the person outside: "Lead the way."

***

He followed the famous servant, detoured several secluded paths, and came to a room. He saw Gong Yeming sitting under the lamp and scrolling. He stepped into the room, and the other party raised his head when he heard the sound: "You are here."

Shen Yufeng nodded slightly.

The other party put down the scroll, beckoned to him and said: "Sit down." Then he ordered the famous servant Ding to back down.

Shen Yufeng took his seat directly, sitting opposite him. As soon as he sat down, Gong Yeming kept looking at his face.

Shen Yufeng felt uncomfortable when he saw him.It is true that Gong Yeming's eyes did not carry any malicious intentions, and even had gentle kindness in his eyes, but it still made Shen Yufeng feel uncomfortable.

Because the other party seemed to be looking at another person through him.

He turned away slightly, and said flatly, "Mr. Gongye has something to say."

Gong Yeming was startled, then looked away, nodded slightly and said, "Your surname is Shen, and you are from Ruyi Villa. Well, you are twenty-six this year, and you were born in Guiwei month, Yimao year, right?"

"Are you—?" Shen Yufeng asked subconsciously, a thought came to his mind, and he had roughly guessed the identity of this person.

Sure enough, Gong Yeming sighed and said: "I am your mother's secular senior brother. My former name was Chen Jirong. According to my seniority, you should call me uncle."

Shen Yufeng nodded: "So it's really you." It's no wonder that although this person has fought against him several times, he always shows mercy to him everywhere, and his temperament and image are very consistent with the Bai family master his father talked about.

Gong Yeming sighed again: "No wonder I felt very familiar when I saw you at the birthday banquet. It is because you and your mother look so much alike."

Shen Yufeng stood up straight, half-bent towards him, bowed and said, "I've seen Master."

"Nephew, you don't need to be too polite." Gong Yeming hurriedly put down his teacup, got up and helped him up, "I am very happy to see the son of my old friend, so don't be so extravagant."

After Shen Yufeng took his seat again, he sat down and asked, "How is your father?"

Shen Yufeng was a little surprised why this person, who was clearly his mother's brother, didn't ask about his mother's current situation, but instead asked about his father. He was puzzled, but he replied seriously, "It's been more than two years since my father passed away."

Gong Yeming was startled: "Your father passed away? Then, your mother—she, didn't she die of grief?"

Shen Yufeng paused, and replied: "Mother has no feelings for father for a long time, so she didn't express much sadness."

Gong Yeming nodded and said, "That's good, that's good."

As soon as the two talked about people they knew each other, their tone became much familiar.Shen Yufeng said: "People in the family say that my uncle has been missing for many years and has never heard from him. I didn't expect Yu Feng to be lucky enough to meet my uncle here again."

"I didn't expect either," Gong Yeming said, "When I separated from my junior sister back then, I didn't know where to go. I went around in circles and came to Zizai City. More than 20 years."

Gong Yeming said a few words, bringing back everything that happened after leaving Duanzhou that year, and let Shen Yufeng understand that it turned out that he stayed in Zizai City to help Shi Guanghe handle affairs because of the favor he had received from Shi Guanghe for many years. After he knew the true face of Shi Guanghe's murder of his brother and sister-in-law, he still respectfully called him "City Lord".

Shen Yufeng thought to himself: "It seems that Master is a nostalgic person." Thinking of what happened in the front hall just now, he asked, "Does Master think that Shi Guanghe really hit a ghost?"

Gong Yeming smiled slightly and said: "You don't talk about strange powers, how can there really be ghosts in the world? The first time I saw the city lord under the coffin in the hall, I found that his eyes were slack, his words and deeds were abnormal, and he was obviously bewitched. surgery."

He paused for a while and said, "Come with me."

With that said, he led Shen Yufeng through the porch to a room behind.

He opened the bed curtain and saw that Shi Guanghe had changed his madness just now, and was lying on his back on the brocade quilt in the middle, clasped his hands on his chest, closed his eyes, and looked peaceful.

Shen Yufeng looked around and saw that the doors and windows of the room were closed tightly, and a faint incense was burning beside the bed. He was puzzled, and then he heard Gong Yeming say: "Only in this way can the safety of the city lord be guaranteed. As long as he survives the dawn, that person will die." I dare not make a move."

"So that's how it is." Shen Yufeng understood. It seemed that Gong Yeming thought that someone would attack Shi Guanghe tonight, so he hid him here.

Unexpectedly, the uncle seemed to be calm, but in fact he had already taken everything into consideration.He asked: "So uncle also knew that it was Shi Fengting who did it?"

Gong Yeming nodded and said, "Except for the young city lord who disappeared for many years and reappeared unexpectedly, no one else has this kind of evil kung fu."

"Does the master not want to deal with him?"

Gong Yeming sighed: "So what? There is no evidence. Besides, if he comes back to take revenge, he will be upright. Even if he really played tricks, there is nothing we can do about it."

He said a few words sadly, and seeing Shen Yufeng's lowered eyebrows, he said deliberately: "Well, but having said that, although this young city lord has a deep mind, he is not a quick-witted person. I think his plans tonight are all Mr. Yun from Chang'an instructed it."

Shen Yufeng paused, and said, "Yes."

Gong Yeming paid attention to his expression: "You guys know each other."

"Yes……"

"I see your friend's appearance is also a person with a wicked heart." Gong Yeming said while observing Shen Yufeng's expression, and sighed imperceptibly, "Nephew, don't blame the uncle for talking too much. Walking in the rivers and lakes, the most taboo is to talk lightly and deeply, this person is clearly in the rivers and lakes, but he has joined the court, his position is not firm, he should stay away from him."

What did Shen Yufeng not understand about this?Earlier, when he was in Wudingguan, Bai Muhua had told him that Yun Lian was an evil person, and he would definitely betray his relatives in the future. At that time, when he heard his mother describe Yun Lian like this, he felt displeased, and now he heard Gong Yeming say the same thing , still find it difficult to adapt.

He thought to himself: "If in the future, one day in the future, he really does something that hurts me, I won't do anything to him."

Yes, Yun Lian did not have the right mind, and most of his actions were extreme and sinister, but his villainous tricks were always used on outsiders. Those abnormal actions he made towards Shen Yufeng were later proved to be in fact to protect him.The two have known each other for many years, and they still maintain a good relationship. Therefore, Shen Yufeng is more confident that he and Yun Lian will not go to the point where they will turn against each other after all.

Originally, Yun Lian prevented him from saving people in the middle of the night tonight, which made him angry for a while, but after thinking about it calmly, he always felt that it was impossible for Yi Yun Lian to be so cruel to him because of his affection for him.Coupled with the lessons learned from Tianluo Palace, he felt that Yun Lian's behavior tonight was too weird, and it must not be because of the reason for taking refuge in the Sixth Prince, but for other reasons.

As for what is the reason?

He hasn't figured it out yet.

Gong Yeming abided by his duty as an elder, and only raised a few words. Seeing that he didn't even move his eyebrows, he knew that he didn't listen at all, and he didn't talk too much.

He suddenly changed the subject: "Speaking of Zhao Linhuai—"

Shen Yufeng raised his head and listened carefully.

Gong Yeming said: "Martial nephew, I know that you only want to save people, but unfortunately Zhao Linhuai has what the sixth prince wants, we can't save him."

He changed into a gentle tone: "However, if you want to see him, I can make the decision. If tomorrow's meeting goes well, I will take you to the dungeon to meet him. .”

Shen Yufeng also knew that for the current Zizai City, Gong Yeming had done his best to let them enter the dungeon, and he didn't want to bother the uncle too much right now, so he said, "Thank you, uncle."

Gong Yeming nodded, pondered for a while, and said, "Tonight's incident happened so suddenly that I can't figure out his next plan now. I don't know how many accidents will happen when I get up tomorrow morning, nephew. Let's just wait for tomorrow."

"Okay." Shen Yufeng responded.

After talking with Gong Yeming, he went out of the house alone and walked around behind the house.

There are dense green trees behind the house, casting a large shadow on the windows, and a gust of evening wind blows through, making a rustling sound, as if there are still people hiding in the trees.

Shen Yufeng stopped suddenly, stared at it for a while, and then remembered what Cai Gongyeming said just now, and suddenly had the idea of ​​going to see that person, walked out of the yard, turned left and right in the city lord's mansion, and asked He went to the servants of the mansion and arrived at the gate of a courtyard.

He asked the servants in the mansion, and Yun Lian had already returned to the courtyard in front of him after chatting with the young city lord.

The courtyard was deserted, as if no one lived there at all. He stepped into the courtyard door and walked towards the room in the middle, when a female voice suddenly called out to him: "Master Shen."

Looking back, it was Liu Hanyan.

"I'm looking for Yun Lian," he said.

Liu Hanyan shook her head: "He's not here."

"He's not in now?"

"Just came back and went out again."

"Where did he go?"

Liu Hanyan just smiled: "Where did he go, I don't know, if Master Shen has anything to say, maybe he will tell him Hanyan when he comes back."

"No need."

He wasted no time, and when he heard that Yun Lian was not there, he lost all thoughts, said goodbye to Liu Hanyan casually, went back to his yard, and told Hong Lian about Gong Yeming's promise to meet Zhao Linhuai.

Hong Lian couldn't help but look forward to the arrival of the next day.
