A Sword of Frost

Yue Zhihua is missing.

The first person to discover this was Jade. At noon, she hurried to find Yun Yifeng, saying that Yue Zhihua could not be found everywhere, and the food box sent in the morning did not open.

The others heard the news and went to Linglong Pavilion to check it out. I saw the furnishings inside the house as usual, everything was neat and clean, there was no trace of fighting or being stolen. Only the owner of the room seemed to evaporate on the ground, without a trace.

"The spider silk silver bell array has not been touched." Jin Huanduding said, "People must still be in the villa."

Liu Xianxian asked, "Who was the last Master Yue you saw yesterday?"

"It should be Brother Ji and me." Yun Yifeng replied, "On the Zheshui corridor, he claimed to have just visited Brother Qiu in Guanyue Pavilion and was preparing to return to his residence."

"Brother Yue did come last night," Qi Ran said. "But he didn't show any abnormalities at the time, and said he would send in a tonic today."

"So, wouldn't he just run away?" Liu Xianxian wondered, "Say something wrong again?"

"Everyone first look for it," Yun Yifeng instructed. "The Xuexue Pavilion is so big in total. Be sure to carefully turn over every place where people can hide. Come back here for an hour."

Xiao Qian's forefoot was bizarrely killed, and Yue Zhihua's hind foot disappeared for no reason. The two things connected together inevitably make people feel embarrassed. I don't know what secret is hidden behind it, let alone what will happen in the future. Everyone worked together to find the sun and the twilight from noon, and even Yuxi followed behind Liu Xianxian to help, almost turning over the plot of the Xuexue Pavilion, but still nothing was gained-no one lived, no dead body.

Yun Yifeng squatted in the bedroom of Linglong Pavilion, stroking the green and black floor tiles with his fingertips.

"Is it found?" Ji Yanran stood behind him.

"The bed was moved." Yun Yifeng stood up. "There are very shallow scratches on the ground."

Ji Yanran motioned for him to step back, holding the bed post with one hand, and dragging backwards.

The large solid wood bed was dragged three feet away from the wall, and a pile of ironware "cracked out". It was a pair of sharpened steel claws with dark flesh remaining on it.

Liu Xianxian passed by the door just right, and when she saw this scene, she was screamed out loud on the spot.

"What's wrong?" The Jin family and his son rushed over.

"I found this under the bed." Yun Yifeng reached out and said, "It should be the weapon that killed Qi Jia Xiaoyu."

After Jin Huan stepped forward and examined it, he found that the flesh and blood was not completely dry, and it was still fresh, and the shape of the steel claw sharp teeth was consistent with the wound on Xiao Yan's body. The truth seems to have surfaced-after Yue Zhihua killed, he managed to avoid the spider silk silver bell array and escaped the Xuexue Pavilion last night.

Qi Ran was stunned: "No revenge, why did he kill Ah Cheng?"

Liu Xianxian was also very puzzled. It would be better to kill Qi Ran. Anyway, he is a wealthy son. What does Xiao Xiang do? None of the men in the room spoke. She waited for a long time and couldn't help asking: "Even if Xiao Xiao was killed by Yue Zhihua, what about the sky-high thunder on the mountain road? Also, try to find ways to lead us to Lai Feng. Bombed the innocent firewood man as a threat, is it to kill Ah Cheng for the sake of mystery? Couldn't ... Is there any hidden identity of Ah Cheng? "

Qi Ran shook her head: "Impossible. He is the son of two old servants of the Qi family. He was raised in a side courtyard as soon as he was born. His life is innocent."

Liu Xianxian didn't understand: "So what's going on?"

The room was silent.

No one explained to her, because no one could sort things out.

"Brother Qi." After a while, Ji Yanran suddenly said, "What's your relationship with Ah Cheng on weekdays?"

"Me and Ah Cheng?" Qi Ran nodded. "Natural is good. He has been with me since he was young."

"A few days ago, I met Ah Cheng in the garden with Girl Liu." Ji Yanran said, "He was knocked down and dislocated by us, but he pressed his pants tightly and refused to go to the Piao Piao Pavilion to heal. Saying don't let Brother Qi know, it seems to be extremely scared. "

Qi Ran's face was puzzled: "What is he doing under the trouser tube? Also, Brother Ji asked, could it be that he suspected that I had abused my domestic servant and wounded my body?"

"No injuries," Ji Yanran said. "I checked. It was frostbite on my legs."

Jin Huan wondered: "Frostbite? Shouldn't it? Ah Cheng wears good clothes on weekdays. Brother Qi also rewarded him with many stoves and fur knee pads. Why did he get a large frostbite?"

It sounded strange, but Qi Ran sighed: "If I have frostbite on my leg, I know what happened. A Cheng was young and had never seen the world. He was taken out by his cousin half a year ago and learned to gamble. I had a hard lesson. I thought I had completely quit, but I didn't expect to hear the wind again half a month ago, saying that he was still outside the bureau, and that he was losing his private house money in the cold winter months, and was beaten by a thug to get out of the casino. , Walked back to Qifu barefoot, Xu was frostbite at that time, naturally dare not let me see. "

Liu Xianxian stunned: "No wonder he is desperately covering it."

"So it is," Ji Yanran said, "I think too much, and please ask Brother Qi not to blame."

Qi Ran shook her head: "The situation today, the more I think about it, the better. How can I blame Ji Brother. It's just that weird strange death, even if I found the steel claws in Linglong Pavilion, I really don't understand. Why did the people of the Yue family kill him, and there was another big one missing for no reason at all, it was ... 唉. "

"Yue Zhihua also had a part in the cloth spider silk and silver bell array." Liu Xianxian said, "If he made up his mind to run at that time, it would not be impossible to learn how to dismantle in secret. And he is the Yue family, and naturally know There is no such thing as a thunderbolt. "

This explanation is indeed reasonable if it is taken out alone, but if it is analyzed in the whole thing, it seems too far-fetched and inexplicable. In any case, since the murder has already occurred, it will only be redoubled afterwards. In order to avoid any further accidents, Jin Huan took everyone in person and re-examined the spider silk and silver bell array again, only to ensure that there were no omissions before they dispersed.

At least a little more peace of mind.

At dinner, only Yun Yifeng and Ji Yanran were in the dining room, very quiet. On the way back, Yun Yifeng put his hands into the sleeves and asked the people around him: "Do you think Qi Ran's words are credible?"

"Which part of the gambler?" Ji Yanran held a lantern, "Is it credible or not, at least it makes sense?"

"But I always feel a little strange." Yun Yifeng frowned slightly. "And the disappearance of Yue Zhihua is also very strange."

Ji Yanran smiled: "Since you can't figure it out, then continue to wait patiently, you and I know that the disappearance of Yue Zhihua will never be the end of the whole thing. On the contrary, it may be the beginning."

"So there are more conspiracies and murders in the future?" Yun Yifeng glanced at him, "Master Wang has a good attitude."

"Otherwise? Uneasy all day?" Ji Yanran embraced his shoulders. "Rest assured, since I took you up the mountain, I will take care of you."

Yun Yifeng looked up and down him, as if to calculate the credibility of this remark. The two made another turn, but a sudden rush came from the eaves, very light and fast, like a fleeting wind and lightning, and immediately before the sound disappeared, Ji Yanran had turned over and fell on the roof. The figure is like a desert hawk in the twilight, and the black wings are enough to make all the weak animals tremble-including this squatting in the snow, raising its paw to lick the unlicked white ferret with a horrified look.

Ji Yanran couldn't laugh or cry, holding the fur on his neck and back to the corridor.

Yun Yifeng smiled and received in his arms: "It turned out to be it."

Ferrets are very obedient, and they also like Yun Yifeng's mellow medicine fragrance. He lays motionless with his head resting on his gentle palm, like a fluffy burp. Ji Yanran was amused by the side. He bent his fingers and played its bulging buttocks. It was estimated that he did not control the strength and hurt the small things. The ferret immediately flicked his tail in dissatisfaction, and pushed forward with a force, four claws drifting Got nowhere.

"Hey!" The sudden loss of warmth in his arms, Yun Yifeng tried to catch it, and watched it disappear into the wall.

Ji Yanran: "..."

Yun Yifeng squeaked his lips, disgusted in silence.

Ji Yanran was quite innocent and had to say, "If I see you next time, I'll catch you, how long you want to hold it."

Yun Yifeng picked up the lantern and handed it to him: "What if Jin Huan refuses?"

Ji Yanran said positively: "You can't help but refuse. If you want, the king will seduce the ferret even if he stuns someone."

Yun Yifeng frowned: "Really?"

Ji Yanran deserves no pressure: "Really."

Yun Yifeng smiled: "Okay, then I can make a note of it."

Ji Yanran single-handedly lifted up his aunt and wrapped the person in a stern body again, to express his concern, and at the same time, to cover most of the star-like eyes-otherwise, Bacheng would have to think of blood Ganoderma Now, I have to add another ferret, more and more things are owed, are rare, but I do not know how many years to pay it off, very distressed.

God also wanted to oppose him. The two hadn't returned to the Piao Piao Pavilion, and they just walked through the garden. When they saw Jin Huanzheng sitting alone on the roof, there was a ball of pure white beside him, just the ferret just now.

Ji Yanran: "..."

Yun Yifeng did stop, and what he said just now, let's go.

"Master of Cloud Gate, Ji Shaoxia." Jin Huan also saw the two and greeted him, "Is this going back?"

Yun Yifeng nodded, puzzled, "Why is Brother Jin sitting on the roof?"

"He was upset and quiet for a while." Jin Huan leapt into the hospital with the ferret in his arms, and sighed, "One thing after another, something really panic when I think of it."

Yun Yifeng asked, "How is Brother Qi?"

"He's still thinking about Xiaoyu, and he doesn't understand why Yue Zhihua wants to kill people." When referring to this matter, Jin Huan looked even more worried. "I've been thinking about it and don't talk."

Yun Yifeng reminded: "Since Brother Qi lives in Guanyue Pavilion, he still has to bother Jin Jin in his spare time to persuade him, so that he can feel upset and fall down."

"That's natural." Jin Huan promised, and said, "It's getting late, then I'll go back and look at Brother Qi, two of them."

Seeing that he turned to leave, and the people around him were still narrowed, Ji Yanran had to bite the bullet and said, "I wonder if the ferret from Brother Jin can be borrowed for the next night?"

Jin Huan said suddenly: "Borrowing ferrets?"

Ji Yanran explained: "Looking smart and cute, I want to take it back to play."

"This way." Jin Huan refreshed, "Of course it can, but this little thing is so delicate, Ji Shaoxia don't feed it randomly."

As he said, he passed the white dumplings in his hand. Yun Yifeng wanted to pick it up, but the ferret was uncharacteristically, and he took the fried | medicine. His neck hair was erected, his eyes were swift, his front paws were fiercely hooked, and three deep bloodstains were left on the back of his hand. .

"His!" Yun Yifeng suddenly felt painful without any precaution. Ji Yanran hurriedly pulled him behind, and then looked at the ferret. He had quickly climbed the roof and ran all the way to the distance.

"This ..." His pet was in trouble, and Jin Huan was also panicked. He kept apologizing and said that he would go to Guanyue Pavilion to get his medicine. Yun Yifeng waved his hands weakly: "No, I took the medicine up the mountain this time, and went back to handle it myself."

Although the wound is deep, it is fortunate that ferrets are non-toxic, apply wound medicine to avoid water, and heal for a few days. Ji Yanran took out the medicine bottle in the cabinet. I do n’t know if he was wrong this time, but when he saw his eyebrows were locked and his arms burst into fine green tendons, it seemed that the pain was not so mild. There is also a "Peace Post" by Wang Xizhi in the house, and he was sent to the Storm Gate immediately after descending. "

Yun Yifeng asked, "Is it true?"

Ji Yanran gently blew the medicine powder and wrapped it carefully with a bandage: "Naturally, who dares to lie to me with fakes?"

Yun Yi wind said: "Yes."

"Try not to touch the wound in the past two days." Ji Yanran put his hand back and asked, "Do you want to eat sugar? I'll go to Yuchao to see."

Yun Yi wind raised his eyebrows: "When I was a little baby? I was hurt by sugar."

Ji Yanran lamented: "Kemen's posture of snacking all the way, do not lose to ... Hey, this is Jiangnan's Xuanjin boots, and the price is expensive."

"You have to step on it." Yun Yifeng lifted his feet and said with confidence, "Well, I want to eat Babao sugar."

His Royal Highness Xiao went to the kitchen all the way.

Yuxi is still kneading the noodles and is preparing to make breakfast the next day. After listening to his explanation, he smiled and said, "The sugar is in the cabinet, as well as the sweet-scented osmanthus shortbread. Bring it along too. The Lord of Cloud Gate loves sweet."

"Why didn't Girl Liu help me?" Ji Yanran asked casually.

"She seems to have something. After checking the spider silk and silver bell array, she never returned to Xingge." Yu said afterwards, she said, "Warm food for her on the stove, and the girl's family didn't know to take care of herself. "

"That's it." Ji Yanran glanced at the meal and packed the sugar and snacks. "Then I'll go first, thank you."

The sky outside was completely dark, and only a half-inch of thick snow reflected the moonlight, which was not as good as when the wind screamed—at least there could be some sounds, not like now, there was a pool of rotten, thick and thick dead lake water. It's uncomfortable.

Ji Yanran didn't return to Piao Piao Pavilion directly. When he saw no one around, he took the food container and walked to Meteor Pavilion. Yun Yifeng stayed alone in the room, waiting to be boring and sleepy, holding his temples with one hand to make him sleepy. The medicine powder applied on the wound is very easy to use, the pain is completely paralyzed, and the wrists are all stiff. This completely unconscious experience ... completely unconscious ... memories are awakened silently, and a thin line of buzzing sounds in my mind Ming, at first very faint, but the back is getting noisier. They crawl out from all directions, and then weave into a dirty black and yellowish net, wrapping themselves all over it. The skin is pierced, and the nerves can clearly feel those Furry teeth and needles, and antennae ... wings ... disgusting breath and mucus. The fear buried deep in the bones flourished again, and his heart whistled and fell into the abyss, and Yun Yifeng suddenly woke up, panicked in confusion, and smashed the table in front of him.

"Yun ... the master?" Ji Yanran saw this scene when he came in, and was startled, "Are you okay?"

Yun Yifeng's heart was beating very fast, and there was still a layer of black mist in front of him. After looking at him for a long time, he eased a little: "Anyway, have a nightmare."

Ji Yanran stepped forward and tried his forehead, full of cold sweat, as cold as cold.

So he asked, "What dream?"

"Forget." Yun Yifeng's voice was dry. "Why are you back now?"

Ji Yanran patted his shoulder and took hot tea from the next room: "I went to Guanyue Pavilion."

"You went to Jin Huan?" Yun Yifeng held the tea cup in both hands. Xu Shi's palms had a temperature and his mood was slightly calmed down.

Ji Yanran shook her head: "It wasn't me who went to find Jin Huan, but Liu Xianxian, she just entered the Moon View Pavilion."

Yun Yifeng frowned and heard: "What did she do at Guanyuege?"

"It's hard to say," Ji Yanran said, "Maybe to comfort Qi Ran, or maybe ... for something else."

As mentioned earlier, in today's situation, no one can be called completely innocent. 2k novel reading network
