Ruyi Jue

After going downstairs, they came to the city gate, just opened the door, and were about to leave, when they saw the Fang brothers standing by the door with their hands down, as if they had been waiting for a long time.

When the two saw Shen Yufeng, they immediately came forward and said respectfully, "Mr. Shen, our master invites you to meet."

Shen Yufeng didn't know what Shi Fengting wanted to see him for, but for the sake of the Fang brothers, he couldn't refuse forcefully, so he waved his hands and said, "Lead the way." Let the Fang brothers take him to a hut beside the city gate.

Shi Fengting stood in front of the house with his hands behind his back, heard their approaching footsteps, turned around, and said to the other brothers: "You guys go down first."

The Fang family brothers replied: "Yes." With their heads lowered, they stepped aside.

Shen Yufeng stood quietly and did not take the initiative to speak. Shi Fengting glanced at him and said, "Zhao Linhuai wants you to leave?"

"Yes."

Shi Fengting mocked: "He is very good at planning."

Shen Yufeng didn't want to deal with this kind of villain at all, so after hearing what he said, he didn't even bother to look at him.

Shi Fengting walked over a few steps with his hands behind his back, without saying a word, just kept looking at him, Shen Yufeng said lightly: "If you have something to say, just say it."

The corner of Shi Fengting's mouth curled up slightly: "I'm curious, you and that Yun Lian are obviously not the same way at all, but you are actually good friends."

Shen Yufeng replied coldly: "I'm also very curious, your identities and positions are completely different, but you actually work together."

Shi Fengting didn't get angry when he heard this, but smiled and said: "Where there are interests, there is room for cooperation. In life, isn't it just a matter of seeking one's own wishes? After all, Master Shen is also a big boss, why is he so naive."

He is a few years younger than Shen Yufeng, but when he lectures people, he is serious. Shen Yufeng sneered: "I will not use all kinds of unscrupulous means for my own benefit."

Shi Fengting took it for granted, "Shi Guang Hepburn is my father-killing enemy. I just used a little bit of caution in my revenge. As long as I can achieve my goal, is it important what method I use in the middle?"

"Oh? And then?" Shen Yufeng said coldly.

Shi Fengting smiled triumphantly: "Mr. Yun and I have made all kinds of plans to get what we need. He helped me ascend to the position of city lord, and I helped him get the fantasy sea and cloud map from Shi Guanghe. Oh, speaking of it, This Mr. Yun is really a remarkable person, he is so scheming, tsk tsk tsk, I am ashamed of myself."

His words proved that the haunting that night was indeed Yun Lian's scheme.

Shen Yufeng thought for a while, and said intentionally: "How can he guarantee that Shi Guanghe will confess his crime? How can he guarantee that you can become the city lord?"

"Of course it's all our plan," Shi Fengting explained for him, "It's easy to kill a Shi Guanghe, but it's not easy to completely replace him as the city lord, so Mr. Yun came up with a plan for me to cast a spell on him , Confused his mind, and planned to put the portrait of my parents in the coffin, arouse the deepest fear in his heart, so that he will admit his evil deeds in front of everyone, let him fall into the mud and lose the hearts of the people, at this time I Then replace it, and with one call, you can easily regain the position of the city lord."

Shen Yufeng knew in his heart that there might still be some of Shi Guanghe's old troops in the city, but Shi Fengting now occupies a favorable position, and it's just a matter of time to eradicate dissidents.

Shi Fengting shook his head again and said: "It's a pity, this Mr. Yun was eager to get the fantasy sea and cloud map, violated my cooperation, secretly killed Shi Guanghe, and in the hall he used retreat as an advance, playing tricks on everyone. Originally , Master Shen pleaded for him softly, let him stay alive, this person should stay, and repay the great kindness of Master Shen! This person is very good, and he escaped privately while it was dark. Oh, what an ungrateful villain!"

Although Shen Yufeng has a pure nature, he is not stupid. After listening to him pretending to say a few words, he understood that this person was dissatisfied with Yun Lian's killing of Shi Guanghe. When he met him, he planned to tease and provoke him The relationship between him and Yun Lian.It's ridiculous that this person only knows that he and Yun Lian have known each other once, but he doesn't know how deep his friendship with Yun Lian is. Therefore, in Shen Yufeng's eyes, this pretentious gesture is really more and more unappetizing.

He smiled frankly: "He is indeed a villain who likes to play tricks, but it is not right to say that he advances by retreating."

Shi Fengting became interested: "Oh? Why?"

Shen Yufeng shook his head and said: "Because he never thought that I would come forward to save him, and he was ready to die." After a pause, he said, "He is cruel to others, but even more cruel to himself. This is you Not as good as his place."

After Shi Fengting listened thoughtfully, after Shen Yufeng finished speaking, he turned around and left without further words.

When he reached the gate of the city, he found that the Fang family brothers were not far or near behind him.

"Go, don't send it off." He said without looking back.

Although he had removed Shi Fengting's Gu technique for the two brothers before, but after going around and going around, everyone has their own ambitions, and the two brothers were still willing to follow Shi Fengting wholeheartedly, so he couldn't say anything.

The two seemed to hesitate for a while, and after a while, the footsteps gradually faded away.

Shen Yufeng sighed, glanced at the empty city gate, and sighed again when he thought about the scene when he came that day.At that time, I didn't expect that I was alone when I came, and I was so lonely when I left.

Walking out of the city gate for a few steps, he suddenly saw a crimson skirt flashing past the corner of the city, and he called out in a low voice, "Hong Lian?"

"Brother Shen." A red shadow jumped out from the corner and appeared in front of him.

Hong Lian changed into red clothes, her face was carefully put on makeup, and flowers were pasted on her forehead. She stood at the corner of the city with a calm smile.

"You—" Shen Yufeng wanted to ask her why she suddenly agreed to get married, but then thought that he, an outsider, really shouldn't ask too much, so he just smiled gently and said, "Congratulations, you are going to be a bride."

Hong Lian smiled shyly.

Shen Yufeng nodded, passed her and went straight to the avenue outside. After walking a few steps, he found that Hong Lian was still looking at him.

"Is something wrong?" He stopped in his tracks.

"It's nothing, Big Brother Shen," Hong Lian shook her head lightly, just smiled, "Take care all the way."

Shen Yufeng didn't know what to say, but in the end he just said, "Take care."

He is not a reckless man who doesn't understand style, he can see this girl's affection for him, but it's a pity that one has a heart for others, and the other is about to marry a woman, no amount of entanglement should be done.

Zhao Linhuai was right, for Hong Lian's sake, it's better to leave early.

***

After walking out of Zizai City, he walked in the southeast direction—that was the direction of Ruyi Villa. According to the current speed, he could return to his long-lost home in less than five days.

After more than half a day, at noon, he finally walked out of the deep forest. He walked around the mountain path and around the foot of a mountain. When he glanced at it, he saw a person sitting in the grass.

He stopped.

The man in the grass was dressed in a white robe, facing him and raised his wine glass, with a faint smile on his lips: "Master Shen, you are in such a hurry, why don't you come and have a drink."

This person not only appeared here inexplicably, but also laid out a long table in a leisurely manner, with a wine jug and two white jade wine glasses on it.

Shen Yufeng looked around and found that Liu Hanyan and the others were not here. Suspicion suddenly arose, and he turned his eyes back to that person.

Yun Lian sneered and laughed out loud: "Why does Master Shen look at me like that? Do you think I shouldn't be here?"

Shen Yufeng pursed his lips: "I thought you had already returned to Chang'an."

"I'm here to wait for you."

"Finally, what's the matter?" Shen Yufeng came to the other side of the table and sat down to see what tricks he was going to play.

"Can't I just ask you for a drink?" Yun Lian replied naturally, then poured a glass of wine and handed it to Shen Yufeng.

Shen Yufeng was looking at his face, and reached out to take the wine glass, but he just held it in his hand and didn't bring it to his lips.

Yun Lian lowered his eyes and said quietly, "Yu Feng, believe it or not, I never hurt your heart."

"I believe." Shen Yufeng nodded lightly.

"Since you believe it, why don't you drink it?"

"It's not that I dare not drink it," Shen Yufeng looked at the glass of wine in his hand, and couldn't help laughing at himself, "It's true, the painful experience that day is so fresh in my memory."

Yun Lian didn't mind, just reached out, grabbed the glass from his hand, held his head high, and drank most of the glass.

"How?" He drank his wine and looked at Shen Yufeng again.

Shen Yufeng let out a "huh", took it again, and drank the remaining half glass of wine in one gulp.

After drinking, he put down the glass and asked, "When will you return to Chang'an?"

Yun Lian said, "Who said I want to go back to Chang'an?"

Shen Yufeng frowned and said, "You took the picture of the illusory sea and clouds, shouldn't you go back immediately and hand it over to the Sixth Prince?"

Yun Lian said: "The secret art on the Illusory Sea and Cloud Map has only been cracked halfway, why are you in such a hurry to take it back?"

"Oh?" Shen Yufeng was slightly surprised, "It was cracked so quickly?"

Rumors that this illusory sea cloud map contains Xu Fu's secret technique of longevity have been spread for thousands of years, and few people have been able to solve the above mystery. Unexpectedly, Yun Lian moved so fast. The mystery is half solved.

"Yeah, don't you believe in my ability?" Yun Lian said, "Actually, there's nothing mysterious about it. It's okay to tell you. After I got the Magic Sea Cloud Map, I hired someone to help me decipher the secret technique overnight. , made a little progress." He raised his eyebrows again as he spoke, with undisguised complacency on his face.

"The things recorded in the fantasy sea and cloud map are not rare treasures or cultivation techniques at all, they are just some so-called medicinal herbs, and it just so happens that the first medicinal herb happens to be near the city of Zizai, so I Stay here."

Shen Yufeng nodded slightly: "I see."

For some reason, after hearing this answer, he felt a little unexpectedly comfortable.Yun Lian needs to stay in Zizi City to solve the mystery of the Illusory Sea and Cloud Map, which means that he will not leave for the time being.

Since the person hasn't left yet, some questions should be asked earlier, he couldn't help but said: "Actually—"

"what?"

"You left in such a hurry yesterday that I didn't have time to ask you a question."

"what is the problem?"

Shen Yufeng looked at him fixedly: "Since you came from Zaicheng for the fantasy sea cloud map, why did you stop me from saving Zhao Linhuai that night?"

Yun Lian couldn't help pursing his lips into a smile, but replied, "Yu Feng, so you don't understand?"

Shen Yufeng was taken aback.

What should I know?

Will it be what he thinks?What does Yun Lian care about?

Seeing that he was stunned, Yun Lian suddenly smiled and said, "Forget it, it's okay if you don't understand, some relationships shouldn't happen in the first place."

Shen Yufeng remained silent, and had no intention of asking any more questions.

Yun Lian looked at him with a smile, and said, "I still remember that when we first met, you were also drinking."

Shen Yufeng paused in toasting. The first time they met was at Ruyi Villa. Back then, Yun Lian was taken to the villa by Shen Xingzhou to recuperate. The two got acquainted and became best friends.But he couldn't remember anyway - what was he doing when we first met?

Are you really drinking?

"At that time, you were only a little taller than me, but your strength was more terrifying than a cow. You dragged me directly to the apricot forest in the backyard, and dug out a few jars of wine secretly. Let's drink together."

"I refused to drink it, so you said that drinking your wine will make you recover faster."

"Haha, it's hard for you to remember." Shen Yufeng smiled wryly. He always thought that these mischievous deeds in his childhood were insignificant, and he never took it to heart. He didn't expect that the other party always remembered it, and he remembered it so deeply.

"How could I forget?" Yun Lian looked at him deeply, and whispered, "That was the first time I really knew what happiness is when I lived to be 13 years old."

"Yu Feng, I really thought that we would be good friends forever."

"It's still the same now." Shen Yufeng said seriously.

The corner of Yun Lian's mouth raised it indistinctly, as if disdainful: "Really?"

He only answered such a non-cold sentence, making Shen Yufeng momentarily at a loss as to what to say.

This small jug of wine is average in weight, and it bottomed out in less than a moment.Yun Lian drank the last remnant of wine in one gulp, and said, "I still have something to do, I'll take a step first, and I'll come to you in two days." Then he stood up straight and walked towards the other direction on the mountain road.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly said, "Yu Feng."

"What?" Shen Yufeng subconsciously replied.

Yun Lian turned his back to him and shook his head: "It's nothing, I just want to tell you that no matter what I did in the future, you have to believe that I never have any intention of harming you."

This was the second time he said this sentence today. Shen Yufeng heard it too much, but didn't pay much attention to it, so he watched Yun Lian go down the mountain.
